[nocturne wolf]

possible, yes

A very bad idea though

[lucid harness]

About as possible as beating it with a hairdryer

[supple jasper]

it solves the inventory issues as well

if you drop the mead you can carry 2 more grausten stacks

[opal prairie]

Wouldn't that make you overencumbered?

[lucid harness]

😆

[opal prairie]

Did I make you chortle?

[crude saddle]

Mead? Who meeds it.

[opal prairie]

MEad mead mead the ad is silent.

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe we need a no inventory world modifier. That would solve all inventory issues.

[supple jasper]

level up those fists, dodge roll, git gud

[nocturne wolf]

Summoning bosses would be a problem though...

[supple jasper]

just skip them?

[crude saddle]

I mean you could probably punch the deer to death if you tried hard enough

Well Eikthyr's AoE might be a problem but when in doubt, roll it out

[supple jasper]

you might not reach ashlands, but it's the second hardest biome, you're not meant to go there

everything else can be reached by leveling the swim skill

[nocturne wolf]

With no hammer it would definitely be a challenge. Maybe it would be possible to stand on an enemy (such as a lox) far enough so you can jump onto the stone spikes?

I don't know how much damage the water does

[sinful fulcrum]

Why sometimes tamed creatures or chickens show a ! Sign with being wet and taking damage

[supple jasper]

usually when creatures are nearby

[opal prairie]

Mean they are agitated by something like a creature wandering too close or they walked too close by an unprotected fire.

[hazy viper]

It can also mean being generally frightened. For instance, a wolf will become frightened if they take damage from a tree falling on them.

[keen cliff]

Woo! Taming a one star asksvin. Wish me luck. I hope I don't screw it up lol

Gonna slap a roof on that pit as soon as it's daytime.

Actually can't tell if it's day or night. Damn

[keen cliff]

There are now 3 fallen valkyries visible from my base. All in render distance, but too far to damage them. Hah.

[hazy viper]

The valkyries are definitely the biggest threat to them, and they may wander and catch sight. A roof is a good idea (as is proactively taking them out). Good luck!

[keen cliff]

thanks! so it has been tamed successully, and now in a covered hole. I'm going to expand the hole closer to the base, then cut the pit in half to for getting another asksvin in there to tame and start breeding. just need 2 eggs to take back to meadows base.

i don't /think/ the valks are a threat because they aren't moving. AFAICT, if they are just hanging there flapping their wings in the distance, they aren't active and won't react to anything. if i hit them with a long distance fireball, nothing happens, no damage.

[sinful fulcrum]

big question, the fuling villages have a theme soundtrack different than the plains, if I completely remove their structures, will that theme still sound?

[dense rapids]

Yes

[rotund bay]

do Valkyries drop a trophy?

[keen cliff]

yes

[rotund bay]

aight, gotta try my luck then and make a bunch of ballistas

[keen cliff]

i really want to do the same thing for my base fortress. maybe one of these 3 nearby valks will drop a trophy

[hazy viper]

Absolutely. I built my castle over such an area, and in one section of the castle that used to be the village, that music still plays.

[distant field]

The most painful thing that has happened to me in the Ashlands is getting a Valk trophy, then dying, and forgetting where that particular body is…

[nocturne wolf]

Couldn't you use the death marker?

[distant field]

Oh, for sure. I just don’t which one it is! We were on a mission that day. And there were several deaths. So it’s like “I know it’s out there, somewhere, amongst the lava and the death”.

Also, the portal to the outpost, that we went from that day, got broken by a Valk.

[keen cliff]

i was exploring this morning, got excited to see my second fortress... and then i saw that iwas across a lava field. doh

[sinful fulcrum]

I always delete death markers

shameful icon

[nocturne wolf]

Me too, but I usually don't have many to delete

[hazy viper]

Ride across on your trusty asksvin. (But just beware it will likely not survive contact with the enemy for very long.)

[keen cliff]

yeah, i'm a long ways before i do that. still gotta get a breeding pair up and running. once all that is settled and i can pop eggs out back at my meadows base, i'll consider using one as transport 🙂

[keen cliff]

i've left my ashlands death markers, but i've deleted the others. i wanted to keep track of deaths in the ashlands. two so far.

1 stupid by me, and the other bad luck and maybe bad play.

[nocturne wolf]

How can you die to bad luck?

[merry pebble]

usually quite quickly 😄

[keen cliff]

bad luck is something like: as i'm pulling out of a bad fight, bubble gets popped, and then before i can recast, i get one shot KOd by a valk. It's a combination of things. It's not necessarily bad play, as maybe i recognized the danger and was retreating, but a sequence of events that caused the death anways.

it's also why i added "and maybe bad play". Maybe i could have retreated faster/better. 🤷 but it was certainly not good luck, hence bad bad luck.

[high arrow]

The akward moment when you realise the copper deposit you have uncovered is not a copper deposit!

[merry pebble]

actually never happened to me 🤔

[keen cliff]

how does that happen?

[nocturne wolf]

It could happen if you mistake a big rock for a copper deposit? They’re the same shape. It’s never happened to me.

[keen cliff]

yeah, but there's so many big rocks, i always check for the copper glitters/tooltip

[high arrow]

The copper deposit was almost on top of the stone deposit so i got them mixed up!

And both of them was kind of towering up from the ground like a big rock!

And maybe me watching youtube videos at the same time, had some say in it!

[keen cliff]

well, at least it was just time you lost there.

[high arrow]

Yup!

[distant field]

I’ve not done it, but I think you need a separate steam account for each person - so they can access their cloud saves on either computer - and then use family sharing so that any account can access Valheim (I believe you will still need as many copies as you need to run concurrently, though). Or just buy a copy for each account.

[keen cliff]

getting Dead Raiser to level 4 is pretty great. running around with 4 skellies felt powerful this morning

[sinful fulcrum]

Increasing difficulty only increases chances of a starred monster to spawn instead of a no star monster, right? And this doesn’t increase the rate of monster spawn

If I put super hard, a askvin star 2 spawns during the day, then I capture it to tame it, log out, switch difficulty, will it be 2 star or no stars?

[merry pebble]

yes, it increases the chances of the creature that will spawn anyway to have stars

[sinful fulcrum]

Hmm

[merry pebble]

it will stay 2 star, but i dont think that 2 star asksvin can spawn during the day regardles of difficulty

[sinful fulcrum]

Ah, so it has to be night only

[near furnace]

do you use any mods or so?
what LODbias do you got on?

Things will load in / out as intended when I test it 🤔

try using ENV clear and fly around and see things loading in and out

--> #self-promotion

[radiant obsidian]

has anyone else witness Bonemass leaving the swamp and following you half the map away? We got kicked in by him, so sailed off and he just followed us under the water before we got wind and got away from him.

I assume he'll make his way back to his spawnpoint?

[nocturne wolf]

He should try to get to his spawn point but needs to be close enough to a player to be able to move. If you want to escape a boss it’s best to use a portal.

Don’t go summoning any other bosses until you’re sure you’re well prepared.

[wanton hinge]

I can't understand what you're saying

[slim imp]

enemies only exist in the world if a player is close enough to render them. If the players get far from an enemy the game just saves the enemy last location and forgets about them until a player get close to load the enemy again

[radiant obsidian]

We thought we were, but we've upped the difficulty to very hard 🫠 found out quickly we were not prepared

[frigid gust]

When you're ready to go fight him again, you'll probably need to sail back over where you last left him, backtracking your escape route.

[azure helm]

hey so i just thought of something
what if there was a late game item you could get that would allow you to temporarily access your nearest grave, allowing you temporary usage of your items to help in the case of a very difficult death

[lunar sapphire]

I don't understand that. Graves give you back your items which you lost when you died.

[azure helm]

no, it dosen't give you back the items, and it dosen't mess with the grave, but it allows you access to the equipment on the body

[slim imp]

I think they meant on the current vanilla, not your suggestion

[lunar sapphire]

Are we talking about the same game?

Yep, I was referring to how graves work currently

[azure helm]

I was just refering to an item mechanic I just imagined

[hidden gorge]

it would trivialize death and make it even less meaningful than it already is

[azure helm]

I mean, I feel like dying several kilometers from the nearest portal in the ashlands solo is pretty impactful

the item itself would just allow you access to some of your equipment, to make that long walk a bit easier

[vocal rivet]

That would just completely invalidate any sense of danger of dying.

[hidden gorge]

just set your world settings to casual death penalty and you don't drop your items when you die

[azure helm]

ah well, just a concept anyways

[distant field]

Why are you several km away from a portal in the Ashlands?

[azure helm]

was making a march for the next Dyrnwyn fragment, and as a force of habit, I don't put nown a new waypoint unless it proves immediately useful, say, near a bunch of flametal spires

[velvet harbor]

is the frostner decent for going into the ashlands?

[merry sun]

Mistwalker smashes almost the whole biome

[hidden gorge]

frostner is decent in the ashlands, yes

[clear hornet]

no mods, default load. default nvidia driver lodbias. I see now that I was testing it in a non optimal spot and it does work, hard to notice unless it's high to very high. low to high is abysmal in effect unless it's units and spawners which makes them pop in at different distances. Here are some screenshots from the various tests, the huge 500 ms spike is the fort processing. LoD has basically almost no effect on the performance in Ashlands, which is both good news and mysterious news, unless you're an Irongate employee and know the exact issue. But if I have to guess, it looks like a combination of high amounts of data and physics calculations being processed stalling CPU and GPU. If you want a sensor log as well I have that picture, just forgot to add it, everything there looks normal though

[frozen fable]

feels nice to get a good Moder spawn where the area is relatively flat and cleared out, killed Moder in just under 6 minutes by doing hand to hand combat

[tepid prawn]

it takes time but if the spawn is terrible I quite like using the pick and the hoe to make it a great arena, especially on playthroughs where I don't care about going through the game fast

[frozen fable]

yeah i dig a trench aruond the altar, and turned out i didn't even have to dip into the trench, she kept landing on favorable terrain and it was easy to go toe to toe with her with an upgraded silver shield and max silver sword

[velvet harbor]

should i keep the root chestplate for its pierce resistance or swap to the carapace chestplate bc it has such a higher defense?

[livid zenith]

Against enemies that deal pierce you’ll take less damage in root chest, you can check the wiki to see how many of the attacks you’re getting hit by deal pierce, but most high damage attacks in mist and Ashlands are pierce damage

[stable spire]

I'm almost ready to fight the Fader and I haven't ever gotten a sea-serpent scale

[tepid prawn]

thats mostly on you, the do sink so you have to fight on land or jump on the head of the serpent while shooting your last arrow or something akin to that can get you scales but not 100% of the time all of them

[stable spire]

I know, I just find it funny that I'm almost done with the game but I haven't gotten an item I was supposed to get a long time ago

[tepid prawn]

you're not supposed to get it, its relatively rare like a Yagluth vegvisir, a wraith trophy or golem trophy etc

if you know the mechanics of aquiring the scales its easy to get

[tepid prawn]

a lot of enemies deal very high pierce damage especially on higher difficulty settings, especially from Swamp Biome onwards (or even including skelly archers black forest) and this does not change for any later biomes, there is always significant pierce. So its up to you if you prefer the additional armour or pierce resistance and mismatched armour pieces (actually mountain doesnt have high pierce damage but the other biomes have it)

[stable spire]

I know how, I was just too lazy

[crude saddle]

I know I was told that abominations were easy to parry, but damn I didn't think they were that easy

The fact my only slashing weapon is my iron axe made killing it a bit awkward though

[frozen fable]

i know what you mean, when they changed how sea serpents spawn, it just made them way too rare unless you happen to be sailing at night or in the rain, which are conditions most won't sail in including myself or at least not intentionally. I feel like it was a mistake to make that change.

[crude saddle]

I'm definitely not putting off killing bonemass by quarrying 4 chests and two carts worth of stone

[nocturne wolf]

Kill a serpent if you haven’t already. Their meat and serpent stew are the best health foods you can get before mistlands.

They’re balanced to be killed with black forest equipment so it should be very easy

[crude saddle]

I think my 100 sausages should suffice

But thank you for the tip

[tepid prawn]

4 chests? rookie numbers!

(one of my builds used about 50ish blackmetal chests of stone worth haha)

[crude saddle]

Given that I'm two biomes away from even being able to get blackmetal I don't think that's quite comparable

[near furnace]

I work for Iron Gate Studios yes 😉

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll only need to kill one serpent to make enough food for bonemass and the next two bosses

[crude saddle]

Tbh I don't really feel like sailing around in a sea storm at night to find one

Assuming that I don't die that is

[nocturne wolf]

They spawn in rain or at night, it doesn’t have to be both, and you won’t die because they’re balanced for black forest equipment. You don’t need to do it, but it’s definitely worth doing for the food.

[crude saddle]

Let put it a bit clearer, it comes across as a bit patronising to be so insistent I do this when I didn't ask for any help, I understand you're just trying to be helpful though

[visual orchid]

I was thinking of getting valhiem on to my pc is there any new players wanna join me am from India

[hollow crag]

I swear serpent just spawns when you mine a sea turtle

And then they take your boat away

[crude saddle]

#1024264966712340510 is probably your best bet

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents spawn in rain or at night at an ocean. Serpents spawned by rain won’t despawn so you can find them later in clear weather. Some people believe that serpents have set spawn points, but they don’t. They spawn randomly.

[hollow crag]

Whatever man

[tepid prawn]

Not sure what the wiki says etc but I mark them on map and on some passages I encounter them all the time sometimes 4 on a coastal passage everytime it rains or during night

[clear hornet]

Oh i know, you know me as Sn0wlo 😉

[near furnace]

then when you ask? 😄

[clear hornet]

Oh, you read that as a question, I mean it as a statement of curiosity. Like "I know you know, but are you guys publicly saying the reason" or do we have to wait until you have a fix ready 🫣

[near furnace]

aaaah. makes sence

[clear hornet]

Running deathless hard/very hard melee or speedruns glitcheless and it gets tricky. Since it's not a controllable factor... 🫠 but we are waiting for the fix 😉

[near furnace]

wellll

we haven't really balanced outside of "normal" difficulty

[clear hornet]

Absolutely, that is understandable

[near furnace]

those other modes just does a general +25% damage / hp on monsters and a more damage taken debuff on the player

[clear hornet]

The incoming damage is workable, no worries there. No way I would run melee deathless at very hard. Anyway looking forward to the day you guys are saying what it is and there is a ptb we can test!

[merry pebble]

Similarly to trolls in bf, if you encountered them at one place it means the conditions there are good enough for them to spawn, so you could count it as kind of a "spawn point" but for game Its simply that the requirements are all met at that place/area, it doesent have a point that it thinks of "spawn troll/serpent here" 🙂

[near furnace]

@clear hornet I fixed your username btw 😅

[clear hornet]

Oh, now I can't hide any more... Ty 😂

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[tepid prawn]

I have a theory that we need so much iron in the game because its made by Iron Gate!

[slate hedge]

Damn Tesla you might be right

[near furnace]

*Nikola 😉

[teal sparrow]

Would be nice to have minimap update every 15 mins, running just for map tiles that was active during last 15 mins.
Is there exposed callback to rerun map generator in codebase?

[near furnace]

update?

[slate hedge]

something like that you can see your buildings on minimap?

[teal sparrow]

I mean re-render game map image to texture.

[teal sparrow]

Yeah, My initial idea was to move camera over the world tiles, without (shadows, NPC+Players), with global lighting on and reference UV to game global COORDinates.

[near furnace]

that would devour your hardware probably

[azure yacht]

What a most excellent way to destroy performance

[teal sparrow]

That is why i want to do it as mod. Same as RTX valheim 😁 I let my 4090 give it a try.

[teal sparrow]

Do not forget u are rendering 1 tile with shadows, lights etc normally, 60fps, now u add 1 frame in low res without fancy stuf on separate Isometric camera, cropped to one tile from above. Even if u do that on every sec u now do 60 + 1 poor frame on resolution 100x100. Because u are updating only frame with player. U got RAM cache hits all the time or even CPU L3 cache hits.

[near furnace]

it's not your GPU tho

it's your CPU/RAM

if you want to try and stress it

open big map

add map markers until you lag

[teal sparrow]

I dont want tor efresh whole map. Only active tile of player.

[near furnace]

yeah. that could be do-able. but would require a entire re-do of the system

and how would the game deal with multiple players at once?

[teal sparrow]

That is why I wanna know if mimap is shared and distributed from server for example.
Each player can render its own tile. Last incoming Tile to server overrides others. And you do not have to refresh map on each call. I would do re-render tile once after 15sec of map altering action is performed. Like building, path-ing, digging. This is big space for optimization there.

[azure yacht]

I was just about to mention this

[near furnace]

it's local

[teal sparrow]

Hash(for change detection) + quadtree map tile storage could work there best. But I understand alteration of server is problem. So it has to be server side mode with client fetch/posting.

[near furnace]

probably

and slap on a big sticker saying something like "VERY CPU INTENSIVE" and then force cores to spread out the load

[teal sparrow]

have u got in head knowledge about avg objects count per tile in game?

[near furnace]

it doesn't work like that

but

press F2 ingame and look at instances 🙂

[teal sparrow]

true thank u

[slate hedge]

@near furnace But isn't it possible to rerender the minimap like in minecraft?

after you use the discover desk

[azure yacht]

Do you really want to wait seconds or minutes every time you use the table just for the map to update depending on amount of changes?

Every single time you use it

[near furnace]

but at what cost?

and also. diffrent game engines

[slate hedge]

yeah i am no developer - just as an idea

didnt mean to offend

[near furnace]

non taken 🙂

there is usually not bad ideas. just that some sollutions are better suited or work better for the task at hand

alot of people miss understands the map in valheim

it doesn't show you actual trees, mountains etc all the time. it's a biome. not all forrests are filled with trees. not all mountains have mountains

[crude saddle]

Just had my first death to a boss :(

Well technically two, but the second one was post-humorous

As it turns out poison still hurts quite a bit even with root armour

Or I guess in Bonemass' case post post-humorous

[teal sparrow]

Thank you that is key insight. I noticed the map is stylized piece of art before but I never connected this information in brain to re-render problem. That is why I change opinion and see the mod is more suitable. Cam bird eye view would changes map style totally.

On the other hand someone can go in other direction and change style to "Tolkien shader" rendered map with stylized mountains etc 😄

[near furnace]

the game will actually render mountains perfectly 😅

but most other biomes are just visual representations

[teal sparrow]

For me most value of eagle eye camera as players is actually the forest, especially in multiplayer so I can check I have to go replant, or go elsewhere for wood because someone else cut down all trees. Same works for fields with/without crops.

[opal prairie]

Midday gjall.

[crude saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

None of my mountains have anything in them

Also I like how that gif simply did not work

I even went to a mountain just inside of the plains and there's nothing here

[plush umbra]

(embed perms are disabled for non-staff ^^")

[crude saddle]

I see

Well I may have gotten popped like a balloon by some fulings earlier in the game, but at least deathsquitos are easy to deal with

Hearing fulings cackle in the distance is terrifying as I try to sneak through the plains

I'm going to assume like in real life I should not try and pet the fluffy cow

[opal prairie]

First feed it some cloudberries and wait till it becomes friendly.

[crude saddle]

Well currently a different fluffy cow is very successfully trying to murder me

[opal prairie]

Make like Forrest Gump.

[crude saddle]

Its pathfinding broke when I climbed another (useless) mountain so it decided to leave thankfully

Well I finally found a mountain that isn't tiny, and I almost immediately died because I was attacked by a wolf when trying to build a hut

[crude saddle]

Silver isn't real, its a myth made up my Big Mountain to sell you more getting stunlocked to death by wolves

At least there aren't cazadors here

I trekked through the plains and got attacked by a wolf wave only to find 0 silver

[limpid abyss]

Where I can find activity log in game?

[azure yacht]

Activity log of what?

[limpid abyss]

Like when I find a new item, or a plant seed there is an annoucment that I can look for some information in activity book or something

[merry pebble]

When you press tab then above the crafting menu should be few icons, one of them should take you to what Hugin already told you, that should cover some stuff, but i do not think there is a complete log of activities

[stable spire]

When spawning things in through the console, how do you get armor IDs? Because I've looked in the item ID page of the wiki but only a couple armor pieces are on there

[opal prairie]

Which ones are you looking for, they should all be there.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs#Armor

Debugmode and press b turns on no cost and let's you craft everything in a workbench.

[stable spire]

Ashland armor isn't there

[slate hedge]

is there some mod which allows me to dig deeper?

[opal prairie]

Try typing fire in the console and use tab to scroll trough the list of item id's that have fire in it.
You could also activate debugmode and press b so that you activate no cost building and crafting and build a crafting bench and craft the armor there and upgrade it as well.

[stable spire]

I'll try that later thanks

[merry pebble]

try #mods-discussion 🙂 folks there know mods well

[keen cliff]

anyone watch valheim speedrunners and think "man, i suck at this game" ?

[opal prairie]

No to both counts.

[merry pebble]

i do not so i still think i am only below average 😄

[keen cliff]

lol

i've got this trophy hunt competition speedrun on from this guy. it's eye opening

[fallen zephyr]

I don't see the point of speedrunning a game like Valheim. The world is so much bigger than it needs to be to 'progress', and most of the fun is in hanging with friends, building ridiculous homes, and repeat killing bosses for trophies to hang on your wall.

[keen cliff]

this is a specific competition for getting as many trophies as possible within a 4 hour time limit. 1 per mob, and with later biome trophies being worth more. In this case, the competition is specifically the point. But honestly, the "point" of all speedrunnig is that some people enjoy it. I understand that some people don't.

[fallen zephyr]

For sure. Each to their own. I never meant to "yuck your yum". I just find Valheim a great world to hang out in; especially when you can just chat and work with friends while doing it. 🙂

[jagged wind]

yea... root armour gives u only 50% resistance.. mead gives u 75% resistance, much better

[wary bough]

Imagine you sit on your Raven Throne and randomly out of nowhere the fish on your wall starts makin sounds and says "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

[pliant hatch]

Mate, you should drink a bit less mead as it seems it's not just boosting your stamina....... 😉

[wary bough]

#screenshots message

[merry pebble]

i see just normal silent fish on the wall 😄

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps you should drink more mead then. 😄

[merry pebble]

That is never a bad idea 😄 will do

[wary bough]

where the text comin from?

[merry pebble]

from the fish 😄 each type has its own phrase i believe

[nocturne wolf]

Fish can talk. Why wouldn’t they?

[merry pebble]

Ok you had enough mead XD

[wary bough]

So these Mead Things are useful?

[pliant hatch]

I agree. Next he tries to tell us the severed heads of the bosses talk to us too.

[merry pebble]

That would be insane 🙂

[merry pebble]

meads are potions basically 🙂

[wary bough]

Wait what

[nocturne wolf]

Mead doesn’t actually affect fish.

[wary bough]

They actually do.

Stamina mead is good for fishing.

[serene talon]

meow

[nocturne wolf]

I meant the talking

[craggy whale]

WUFF WRUFF

[nocturne wolf]

[serene talon]

rookie mistake

[hazy viper]

Take that fish to the river. Drop it in the water.

[wary bough]

I'd rather sell it to Hunters Call. If there'd be anything to earn after Lvl 50..

Excuse me, isn't this Server english only?

[craggy whale]

It was a one time mistake

[fallen zephyr]

We accept Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and most colonial denominations.

[vocal rivet]

Well no, when it comes to language, just English.

[fallen zephyr]

That could have been a fun parody interpretation, but here we are.

[vocal rivet]

A parody of what?

[fallen zephyr]

Ethcinity vs. language. C'mon man, you're cleverer than that.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I am. That's why I'd never try and make a joke about it.

[fallen zephyr]

I think I've said it before... there's nothing that's beyond a joke.

[pliant hatch]

How about non-native English speaking English?
Is that accepted as well?

[vocal rivet]

Of course, else we'd have to ban more than half the server, including the devs.

[fallen zephyr]

They're probably the best English!

[pliant hatch]

Yay!

runs off yelling: "Typos here I come!"

[fallen zephyr]

I don't know the stats, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me if Scandinavian children were being taught English as a primary language and learning their native language at home.

[wary bough]

NE! more clever, not cleverer

[pliant hatch]

I doubt it.

But it's more likely they watch series and movies in the English language and have it subtitled in their own language, instead of using some sort of narrator or even a complete overdub in their own language.

I mean, ever heard John Wayne in German? It sounds aweful, believe me.

[echo plaza]

That's alao the case in The Netherlands. Everything is subtitled and not dubbed.

[pliant hatch]

Or someone translate the whole conversation in the Polish language? Which means there's a lot of "he said" and "She said" added to it. Or "wispered" or "shouted" or whatever way of conversation is used.

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, I've learned Japanese from Anime and Hindi from Bollywood films. What are you talking about?

[narrow trellis]

Quick question for anybody that may know. Why does it take so long specifically for Valheim updates and new things to come out. I get having a small Dev team but is it like a Marketing issue or is Valheim really hard to program?

[vocal rivet]

What would marketing have to do with the speed of development? Which isn't even particularly slow.

[pliant hatch]

The reason is simple:

The Devs prefer quality over quantity.
Meaning they want to make sure all bugs - except for those in the Mistlands - are gone before getting the next thing done.

[narrow trellis]

But does it really take that long to refine said bugs? I'm just genuinely curious.

[merry pebble]

So deathsquitos are going away? 😄 ||(jk ofc)||

[vocal rivet]

It takes as long as it takes, obviously. Again, it's not particularly long, it's on par with most other similar game development cycles.

[pliant hatch]

Getting bugs gone is a lot more complicated as people think. It's not "just change some code", as that change may have unexpected effects on other parts of the game.
Which often means that solving some bugs may lead to other bugs, which need to be solved, but might lead to new bugs or glitches.

On top of that, there's the tweaking of some parts of the game; and all of this needs to be tested before the patch is released to the public.

It takes time, but eventually the game is working a lot better as when a patch is released, followed by a hotfix late in the afternoon, followed by a new patch 2 days later, followed by a third patch and a hotfix on day 5 and eventually at day 37 the last patch seem to solve all bugs, but with the new added items two days later the whole show starts all over again.

[fallen zephyr]

it's not particularly long
That's what she said! 😛

[pliant hatch]

And on top of all of that, no matter what the Devs do, it's never right. Ashlands and Mistlands are fine examples of that.

If they tweak the spawn to be less as when the biome was released, a part of the community complaints the game becomes too easy, while others still complain it's too hard.
When the damage output of monsters and their hitpoints are tweaked, the same thing happens.

Meaning on top of patching bugs, the devs also need to find the right balance of this game at normal settings so the majority of the community can play the biomes; while those who want it to be more difficult can increase it but still have to face a challenge and not an instant death, while those who want it easier also need to face a challenge and not doing a complete walk over.

And especially that tweaking takes time, because it needs to be tested and even then there will be people complaining about the difficulty being too hard or too easy.

[pliant hatch]

How often do we have to tell you to leave those Jotun women alone? They will always complain that your tool is too short. Even if you use a pike as a handle of that battle axe.

[hidden gorge]

generally, most of the time fixing bugs is simply just finding the root cause -- which is not necessarily clearly apparent. And sometimes even if the cause is immediately apparent, it still takes time to figure out what is the best way to fix it, so it won't pop up again. This can require refactoring significant chunks of code, or affecting other systems that are related somehow which also need to be updated due to the changes for this other thing.

[vocal rivet]

I'm thinking they're long gone, to be honest. They've said their piece and have disappeared.

[fallen zephyr]

You know..., I was going to post a whole, stupid, comedic comment about how the devs are never right, but they are always left. It was going to end in a comment about how leftists never eat cats or dogs... Then I remembered that wolf meat is a thing. I guess we all have to vote for Trump now. 😛

@vocal rivet Why did you delete that?! It was the best comment I've seen today!!

[vocal rivet]

Sure, and liable to get me muted again.

[fallen zephyr]

Be your best self, dude! Fuck the man.

[pliant hatch]

No thanks. I prefer to live in a real democracy instead of in a "Yes / No politics" country.
As a former friend in the US military once said: "A two party system is one party too many for a dictatorship."

[vocal rivet]

Not that we have been on topic for a while, I think we're definitely drifting into dangerous territory.

[fallen zephyr]

Where are you?

[pliant hatch]

Right now? At home. 😄

[fallen zephyr]

Weak.

[pliant hatch]

In RL: I'm from the Netherlands, but nowhere near places which were once raided by Vikings.

And gamewise I'm in Ancient Greece right now. Hunting for bunnies, which is even more frustrating as hunting Valheim deer with a club.

[fallen zephyr]

Cool. Cool. So, at least not from a country that is basically 50 raccoons in a trenchcoat, pretending to be a country.

[pliant hatch]

Nope. We tried that using cows, but when some of them made it in our parliament we decided to stop that experiment the moment they wanted a tax on the use of grass.

[fallen zephyr]

Fair call. The last thing you want is your parliamentarians trying to milk their positions for all they're worth.

[pliant hatch]

Not to mention all those millions of money that were Mooooooving from one department to another.

[sinful cove]

why is valheim leaving gamepass? i thought this game had some sort of agreement with xbox, as its exclusive to microsoft?

[vocal rivet]

Exclusive to Microsoft? Since when?

[merry pebble]

#general message

[slim imp]

I think the chat has been in general topic far earlier than that

[merry pebble]

this is the part i remembered 😄

[vocal rivet]

Huh? That was a direct answer to the question though.

[slim imp]

oh I thought that was just a redirect for the general

[fallen zephyr]

Valheim has already traversed the meandering meadows, through the barely-challenging black forest, and into the so-tired-of-being-saturated swamps. Moving through the Game Pass requires a degree of console-ation that not all players are comfortable with.

Jesus Christ. Even I hate myself.

I'm going to bed. G'nite all.

[pliant hatch]

Did you get your "sleeping mead" yet?

[fallen zephyr]

If "sleeping mead" is bourbon, I've had my fill. Caio for now.

[pliant hatch]

Sleep well. Don't dream of a battle and don't wake up with the war cry on your lips. It might scare the neighbors. Or a partner.

[keen cliff]

also don't dream of a pale child. that's just creepy

[mint bluff]

do bases still lag? havent played in a while

[keen cliff]

not really. there were significant performance improvements. i think if you get REALLY crazy you can have issues. but i don't think normal bases have any problems

[distant field]

It entirely depends on your setup and the size of your base.

[cosmic kindle]

Can you tame deer?

[sterile summit]

no

[nocturne wolf]

No. Tameable creatures show their status when hovering the crosshair over them at a close distance

[royal tendon]

If i have my animals outside near water in a cage with no roof, can big waves sweep them away?

[nocturne wolf]

It's very unlikely as it won't move them horizontally, but it is possible

[royal tendon]

Okay gotta watch out a bit

[little sinew]

Hi everyone thought it might help to reach out here. I’m looking for a discord that hosts dedicated servers for xbox valheim but preferably thats hosted in eu or close to south africa. Anyone know maybe of a discord i could join?

[slim imp]

you can look at #1024264966712340510. Servers tend to be crossplay, idk about xbox exclusive servers if you're looking for that but they might exist

[little sinew]

Awesome thanks so much I’ll have a look 😊

[pallid dust]

just downloaded the game no idea what im doing

[merry pebble]

Welcome and we hope you wont die too often 😄

listen to ravem, pick up all the stuff you can, craft everything you can

[keen cliff]

and always be Rested

[nocturne wolf]

Get home before night too
This isn’t so important in meadows but it is in later biomes

[slim imp]

I kindly disagree, farm night enemies 😡

[merry pebble]

i would also suggest that you try to explore and find out stuff on your own and not ask too much here 🙂 why we are usually well meaning we can often give unwanted spoilers or you might just see spoilers in here as other people are talking

[nocturne wolf]

It’s not a good idea when new to the game though

[merry pebble]

that might not be the smartest idea for starting player 🙂 but they can try it out and see for themselves ofc

[slim imp]

probably varies from person to person

[limpid abyss]

What exactly is cartographic table for? Will this be usefull on singleplayer?

[hidden gorge]

sharing map info with other people. so no

[merry pebble]

for singleplayer? no, it is a cool looking piece tho, and for multiplayer it lets you share your explored map with other people 🙂

[slim imp]

it can be useful in single player if for some reason you have different characters playing on that world

[hidden gorge]

however I still built one in my mostly solo world, cause sometimes it's fun to have some people play together for a while, and show them all the stuff you've built

[merry pebble]

True, i didnt think of that 😄

[limpid abyss]

same thing with boundary stone?

[hidden gorge]

the statue also acts as an alert things are attacking your base

and prevents spawns similar to fireplaces/workshops

[merry pebble]

^that, and for multiplayer it prevents others to open your chests, doors and stuff like that

[nocturne wolf]

It’s also a nice decoration/light source

[merry pebble]

ooh, yes, it can make for a nice garden gnome protector (sorry Odin)

[drifting meadow]

what can i build to avoid enemies spawning near my base?

[merry pebble]

anything from player base items https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[drifting meadow]

thanks

[golden mirage]

A troll broke the cool rock in my base, my heart is broken

[unreal bear]

The Boundary Stone mentioned above 👆 I have never heard of Boundary Stone… but by your descriptions, is that another term for the Ward?

[vocal rivet]

That's what I assume.

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it seems to be a ward

But wouldn’t it be a boundary finewood?

[slim imp]

boundary totem

[unreal bear]

Hah ok. Probably using a translator and it came through as “Boundary Stone”. Just making sure I wasn’t missing an item’s crafting recipe

[rotund bay]

the only time I'd start farming mobs in the night is when I have something to deal with the cold
I needa my stamina regen

[hidden gorge]

if you haven't yet explored the mountains, campfires work pretty well

[odd spindle]

is there a section to make friends to game with? /g

[distant field]

#1024264966712340510

[odd spindle]

thank you Mr Scott hill

[cosmic kindle]

So turns out bonfires are very good at killing abominations

[tepid prawn]

even better if you parry them while they are standing on it, also surtling spawners (indestructible helps too)

and if no fire available use your best SLASH damage weapon and also parry, swords or axes etc

[cosmic kindle]

How long do sunken crypts take to respawn the scrap piles in them

[livid zenith]

They don’t

[tepid prawn]

they do not respawn as said before

[radiant wagon]

Question
Why is this game getting kicked off of gamepass?

[plush umbra]

I know this selfish request may get me banned But I am willing to risk it

NVM

[radiant wagon]

?

[vocal rivet]

As Smiffe has said, it's just the end of their contract. Nothing untoward.

[radiant wagon]

Goddamnit. Pain

[cosmic kindle]

Is bonemass a hard boss that i need to prepare for alot

[tepid prawn]

the first real boss imho, Eikthyr is a tutorial boss more or less and I also think Elder is hardly a big fight if you can figure things out quickly, Bonemass is the first where preparation helps a lot (swamp tier food, a good blunt damage weapon like the bronze or iron mace and also poison resist mead are the preparations I recommend)

also for armour if you are new I recommend something better than troll armour, either root armour or iron, and ideally upgraded to level 2 or higher as well, that all together will make it quite doable

[cosmic kindle]

Rn iv got iron mace with iron armor and troll cape going back for one more iron run to upgrade it all some

[tepid prawn]

if the armour is level 2 and the mace as well (or higher is good too) and your food is swamp tier (turnip cooking station, you grew carrots as well for that upgrade) and you have poison mead you'll be good to kill Bonemass

[cosmic kindle]

Yea my food i rock rn is sausages muckshake and turnip soup

[tepid prawn]

perfect

thats the one i use in that age too, 1 health and 2 stamina foods

[stable spire]

Mfw the elder was almost impossible because of my 2fps Xbox one

[tepid prawn]

with 2 fps you can't even reliably kill normal monsters

[stable spire]

Yup

Yet I'm almost ready to fight Mr fader

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots message

[stable spire]

Meh

I like magic more :)

[nocturne wolf]

That works too, trollstav is op

[stable spire]

Yea

Dundr is too

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[rain flare]

You can literally kill him by jumping on his spawning altar and using the stag breaker
Just ensure you have poison mead - without that you are dead.

[vocal rivet]

You know it's off topic and didn't think to post it in #general not that you're going to get far begging for game codes.

[tepid prawn]

was that what Ryoko was talking about, I was wondering

[sinful fulcrum]

If you level the ground with the hoe, and bonemass throws his minions, they won’t be able to spawn, I believe it requires water

Worked for me last time

[merry pebble]

Its does not requires water, you are flatening the ground simply for easier movement

[sinful fulcrum]

I did it for the easier movement

However, I discovered what I said

I am not sure if it was intended

Because most of the I was waiting for the skeletons and blobs to show

[wary bough]

Sooooo, just found out that the beginning of one of the Boat-Ocean-Soundtracks have like two similar notes like the SoT Meg Soundtrack. Had a short Heartattack

[stable spire]

Trolled

[stable spire]

Just build up on the skull and whack him with a mace till he goes kaboom

[hasty pecan]

Every single public server that I try to connect to gives me the "Failed to Connect" error, anyone know a fix?
I just wanna play with random people.

[void pulsar]

I just started a server called Phaeworld with password: password if you want to join.

[hasty pecan]

omw friend

[hasty pecan]

Do you mind giving me the server code? once you press Esc the code is on top of the menu, cause i can't seem to find it's name in my community servers

[void pulsar]

788067

[hasty pecan]

failed to connect, guess there is a problem from my side that i need to find a fix for, thank you nonetheless

[void pulsar]

Darn, I'll reload and see if that works.

[hasty pecan]

awww thank you, ok let me try to connect again

[void pulsar]

I typed the password really slow, just in case I messed it up before. Join code is 241436 now

I'm in the voice chat Neck's Pond if you want to talk it through.

[hasty pecan]

same error T_T

[void pulsar]

Much sadness. 😦 I'm sorry I don't know more on how to make it work.

[hasty pecan]

thank you still, i will verify my files and try to fix it. Then imma join you.

[reef jolt]

i found a fortress of draugs in first biome, how this is possible?

[distant field]

When you say ‘fortress’ do you mean a collection of partially broken down shacks?

[reef jolt]

yes

[keen cliff]

draugr can sometimes have villages in meadows. pretty rare. and i think usually there's a swamp nearby

[distant field]

It’s a Draugr village.

[keen cliff]

nearly every outside wall in my base is now covered in vineberry vines. woo!

[distant field]

Nice!

[keen cliff]

i could have done the dedicated tresllis thing, but i already had so much wall space. might as well use it

[distant field]

I went with adding trellis to one of our walls and building seperate trellises. 😁

[keen cliff]

your setup might look better. mine looks like the ashvines raided my base

oh, so i finally got the bat raid at this base, since i got my moat filled with wolves. the wolves do pretty alrigth against the bats. they take a little damage, but the number of wolves handles the bats

[azure yacht]

Sharing an open server so publicly might probably result very badly

[void pulsar]

Okay, thanks.

[jolly widget]

hahaha!! omg! i just "Randy Johnson'ed" a bird! i was chucking my spear at a greydwarf and right as i hurled it, i was startled when my spear stopped suddenly with a hit-something-sound and there was a puff of white and i collected 3 feathers. what!? that was crazy!

[keen cliff]

huh. looks like currently you only ever need 1 morgen heart. i will still hoard every single one i get lol

[past ore]

uhh my chicken just escaped my coop is there a way to guide it back?

[hidden gorge]

harpoon it

[past ore]

i dont have it

[hidden gorge]

or build walls/fences to prevent it going further, and slowly and iteratively close in the walls to guide it back to the original place

is that your only chicken or do you have the ability to make eggs?

[past ore]

no i dont have the ability to make more eggs

i was in the process of doing that

[hidden gorge]

yeah, might be a good idea to completely enclose it in a 100% enclosed box until you can get another chicken -- otherwise you'll end up with some very expensive chicken meat

[past ore]

chicken cant jump right? lol

[hidden gorge]

they climb on top of eachother like loxen -- if your coop doesn't have a roof they can get out -- if you've only got one shouldn't be an issue tho

the walls/fences to guide them back to their original spot are just temporary, they can be the half walls or fences and both will work just fine to corral the chicken

[rain flare]

Chickens should ALWAYS be in a box - unless you've turned raids off snickers in bat raids

[past ore]

ok

i managed to get it back

why does this chat have cooldown when theres 0.1 users talking per hour

[rain flare]

🤷

Probably cause some smart guy/gal decided to spam the chat with nonesense

[worthy anchor]

fr shits dumb

at least make it 5s instead of 10, like thats absurd, cant even have a convo with someone in a chat that no one has convos

[fallen zephyr]

...sounds like someone wants to spam the chat with nonsense. -_-

[worthy anchor]

not really, just saying i agree that the cool-down is a little dumb considering no one types in here

[fallen zephyr]

Hi, no one, I'm Dad.

[worthy anchor]

?

[hidden gorge]

I don't mind it. It encourages people to communicate in full thoughts and sentences. If you want to add something real quick you can just quickly edit your previous message -- it's one key press extra, not that hard

[worthy anchor]

i dont truly mind it either, and i see exactly where you are coming from and agree with that also, i believe there should be a cooldown; however at 5s instead of 10 as not every reply from people needs to be a paragraph, but you still want to avoid unnecessary spam

and yes ik we can edit it, which is helpful - however people might not see you edited it, as it doesnt appear like a new message has the red line (if your message is the last message its pretty easy to notice, though)

[hidden gorge]

Lol. Yeah

[distant field]

Not yet seen the cooldown stop any kind of conversations here.

[azure yacht]

They won't change it because one single person complains about it once every month

As this is the first complain about it I have seen in... probably even more than a month

[hidden gorge]

5s wouldn't be bad... I've often run into slow mode blocking, but I much prefer that over the raucous chaos of 12 yo kids spamming several lines of disjointed nonsense

[worthy anchor]

Not complaing, just stressing benefits to both sides

[royal tendon]

Im quite sure i just got hunted by around 10 wolves, wtf

[worthy anchor]

Lol

[royal tendon]

Wiki says the limit during a raid is 6 lmfao

[cosmic kindle]

Could bonfires be good against bonemass?

[thorn spoke]

Hi everyone)
Please tell me, is there a list of player servers somewhere? I want to find a Ukrainian rp server, if there are any

[worthy anchor]

You can search through #1024264966712340510, or post to create your own

[hidden gorge]

only 10?

I remember my first hunt was over 30, and I almost survived were it not for a 5ft (2m) drop from the edge of a rock at the end

[fair cairn]

likely yes but he couldve atracted more during his panic

[fair cairn]

30?

seems a bit excessive

[hidden gorge]

perhaps the limit is only concurrent wolves? so you kill the first batch and then more comes?

[fair cairn]

likely the wave can only spawn 6 at a time

[hidden gorge]

6 max at a time seems right

[worthy anchor]

rip

[keen cliff]

if you keep killing them fast, 30 makes sense

[worthy anchor]

makes sense

[keen cliff]

wolves hate when you jump on a rock though lol

[fair cairn]

and killing those will have more spawn during the fight, and ythe fighting may atract outside wolfs

[royal tendon]

I just had to run, almost made it home but just died

[keen cliff]

bumped into a warlock outside the fortress i just found. i guess someone maybe bumped him off the wall? afaik warlocks can't spawn regularly in a zone?

[hidden gorge]

they get pretty rowdy up on those walls

but maybe the spawn radius of the interior fort spawners also extends a bit past the walls -- could have spawned that way? idk

[keen cliff]

i don't think the spawners can spawn warlocks? not sure on that, have to check

oh snap, they can

[hidden gorge]

oh, they can

[keen cliff]

8.6% chance doh

[hidden gorge]

before I even knew there were spawners, I was like -- I keep killing these guys why do they keep on showing up?

[keen cliff]

though i don't think i've gotten close enough to trigger the spawners yet.

lol i just watched a warrior get bumped off the wall. definitely roudy up there

aha, was a 1star warlock

i gotta say, navigating the ashlands with four skellies for backup is significantly easier than without

at a minimum, they distract things if i need to run away 🙂

[mortal storm]

they do a good job at holding enemies in one place for roots to smash them

[keen cliff]

i'm still waiting to get a jade. fingers crossed for this fortress

course it's going to be a little slower than expected. just saw a morgen and fallen valk hanging out on the side of it

[hidden gorge]

my one bit of luck in this game was my first fortress had just the right distribution of gems to get me all the staves and lightning axes

[keen cliff]

and crap, got too cocky and died outside that fortress

[hidden gorge]

I still had to grind a bit for feathers, etc. but glad I didn't have to wait for the entire biome done before unlocking gear like the mistlands

[keen cliff]

"i'm safe up here on this pillar"

hmm

so i have a portal near, that's good. still going to be fun to get my stuff though. stupid morgen

time to pull out the melee gear....

i gotta say, meleeing that morgen went very very well lol

and the trash that was around it

[royal tendon]

If i got a 1* wild wolf captured, how easily will it break fences/wood walls/stone walls? Should i just tame it outside my base maybe in a hole in the ground first?

[keen cliff]

i think hole in the ground taming method is the easiest

[desert tangle]

luckily they spawn everywhere but mostly on the coast.

i have a base build always next to water so anytime im around my base i always get a 1-3 that spawns near me

[hidden gorge]

oh no I mean the shiny feathers

[keen cliff]

i think he means valkerie celestial feathers

[desert tangle]

such a pain early game specially since i love using the bows

oooooh

[keen cliff]

valks drop between 1-3 of those when you kill them. and they are pretty tough. however, in the ashlands you're kinda always bumping into them, so you get enough eventually

i still need a damn trophy for them. then i'm going to make some ballista at my fortress

[hidden gorge]

yeah, and regular feathers is kinda what my chicken farm is for as well 🙂

[hidden gorge]

early game wooden arrows are unmatched. My arrow progression usually goes: wooden -> needle -> bone bolts. But I don't use ranged too much, its kinda slow unless your skills are high and I play much too riskily to worry about skills

[desert tangle]

too bad u dont get chicken unless ur lucky n found the trader early game , also yea wooden arrows are def the only choice in this stage lol

[hidden gorge]

if you sail in a circle around the islands immediately surrounding your starting island, you're pretty much guaranteed to find the trader

[keen cliff]

haldor doesn't sell eggs until you kill yagluth however. the only way to get chickens faster, is sealed tower from hildr quest

[merry pebble]

you usually should find trader by the time you are done with black forest stuff and ready for swamp, if you dont you did not look for him properly or just have an abysmal luck, and as said above, he doesent sell you eggs untill you have killed Yag

[desert tangle]

i swear i did this on my last playthrough and i found the trader quite far away than my starter island lol

like 6-10 islands north

[merry pebble]

that is pretty rng dependent 🙂 there is no guarantee there will be a trader in close vicinity of starter island, but he can also be right on it if you are lucky enough, just classic rng

[keen cliff]

well this fortress was a bummer. only 1 stone, and it's a bloodstone which i already had 2 of

[hidden gorge]

if you look at some map generation sites, you can start to see a pattern of how he spawns -- there's usually one or two relatively close by the starter island, and several more ringed around the edges of the map -- but he'll only spawn once for the first spot you find him at, so if you haven't checked the islands nearby, and travel very far out somewhere else, that's where he'll appear

and regardless, distance isn't an issue since you just put a portal nearby -- nothing he trades requires metal or other non-portable stuff

[buoyant panther]

In my first fortress, we threw everything at it, then came back a few days later. We found the ||cogwheels|| and possibly some chest contents had despawned in the time we waited :/

[keen cliff]

oh man, that's the worst. though i hope at least the chest in the center tower was still there

my first fortress the cogwheels despawned. but not the inner chest stuff at least. and for this fortress, i took care not to launch fireballs too wildly

[buoyant panther]

Ya, center chest was good!

[keen cliff]

RNG can be brutal though.

[tender mantle]

so what is the reason for bad connection? we keep disconnecting from eachother. we both have gigabit and literally live in the same street

[grave mural]

i dont think valheim is p2p

[buoyant panther]

If you're both using the game from Steam, you can look into turning off crossplay on the server and using port forwarding in order to have a more direct connection. If either of you is on Wi-fi instead of wired, that can potentially be a source of problem.

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/all-of-this-pointing-up-there-see-this-gif-14720503

[wooden tapir]

today is the day, i will complete my build and start exploring the ashlands

[keen cliff]

Good luck! For me, the sailing there was the most nerve wracking part.

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/tenor-gif-25707820

[wooden tapir]

idk if anything in the ashlands requires eitr, but i think i have enough to max everything

have farmed so much black marble, i have like 10 stacks of soft tissue

[keen cliff]

You will need refined eitr for some stuff, yes

[wooden tapir]

sometimes i dont understand what is possibly holding up an ore vein

[hidden gorge]

gigantic invisible hitboxes that don't match up with the model at all

you generally have to dig out a generous meter or two away, and below to get it to crumble properly -- which can often times be straight up impossible with copper

[keen cliff]

got a fallen valkyrie trophy. now i can consider spamming some ballista on my fortress. heh.

[wooden tapir]

man trophies sometimes are hard, ive killed like 30 seeker soldiers, and got 1 trophy

[keen cliff]

5% chance on that one. same as the valkyrie. so 1 in 20, but RNG will RNG

[wooden tapir]

kinda like shiny pokemon with 1/8056 or something, but ive never seen one in 10k+ hours

rng be rng

[golden badge]

Is there any command to keep inventory on death to apply it to a server?

[wooden tapir]

in server setting before you go into server yes

[golden badge]

I opened it with cmd server

[wooden tapir]

hmm should still be able to do it in game i think, idk

[fierce portal]

Hey if I have the cheats what role do I get

[cosmic kindle]

For the bonemass fight should i use iron helmet or root mask

[native dove]

anyone know why the game is louder when i tab out of it?

[grave mural]

anyone know whether fiddleheads will still grow when there's a roof above

[wooden tapir]

is there any reason for me to have 350 ancient bark?

[grave mural]

making the big boat

[tepid prawn]

I would think so because they spawn, they don't grow

but not fully sure on that one

[sharp raptor]

I mean I have seen them growing in already roofed dwarf camps so I assume they would. Think anything that you dont plant with a cultivator doesnt follow normal light requirements

[grave mural]

man those dwarf camps are neato

theres no way to build with those pieces right

[tepid prawn]

some of the pieces we have some we don't I believe

I wonder if we'll get some with leaving early access!

Its the same for marble, we don't get all the pieces rn

[grave mural]

its the huge grausten looking pieces im interested in

[wooden tapir]

why arent we able to put lower metals into the blast furnace?

[tepid prawn]

might be realism related, different temperatures, the temps and conditions that smelt black and flametal might be the wrong ones to form tin copper, iron and silver bars

and would also make the old furnace totally irrelevant, which the game isn't designed to have things that are completely useless that are in the crafting tab

[wooden tapir]

thats fair

[tepid prawn]

I think the deep north ore will also be smelted in the blast furnace probably, assume we get a new one which we obviously don't know anything about yet

[golden badge]

Anyone know how I can use my singeplayer world on my dedicated server?

[last hatch]

just to confirm before I possibly jump to my death, fall dmg is capped at 100 right?

[shy marlin]

yes

but be careful you can still take more than 100 dmg if you have two different fall dmg procs

but one hit is capped at 100 yes

[last hatch]

alright cool

[crude saddle]

I love how drake corpses absolutely fling themselves if they're flying in a direction when they die

[crude saddle]

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I entered the frost caves, but fighting ||dog people with fire magic|| was not it

[crude saddle]

I have decided to take the slow and tedious task of moving home

[wooden tapir]

thats what im doing rn!

just started my 20 min sailing trip

[crude saddle]

Hope you didn't forget your portal building matierals

[fickle urchin]

Hey agil here
I wanna say good morning

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

Then do so. What's stopping you?

[exotic ridge]

anyone playing using mic can i join u ?

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 Is the place to meat other Valheimians to play with, browse at your leisure or make a post yourself.

[exotic ridge]

28K online and no one answer 🙂

[opal prairie]

Online doesn't actually mean active in the server though, that's just 28k people that have this server in their list that are online.
I've got a bunch of servers that I only visit when needed or when I feel like it and that can take a whole long while.

[azure yacht]

Then you're not doing anything new by posting in another channel

[exotic ridge]

that's the missing info i needed thnx

[warm depot]

I still dont get why ashwood bed is not giving 2 comfort

I just want a small bed capable of giving max comfort when used in a build

[hollow crag]

fishing is tough when you first started it, but it feels so satisfying after finally getting it, and catching all those angler fish

[royal tendon]

Do wild wolves aggro on tamed ones or the other way around?

[azure yacht]

No

[distant field]

Huh. I thought they did. Because tames are player faction.

[opal prairie]

They are from the same faction first and player gets added after, i presume.

[nocturne wolf]

Tames are on the player faction but they’re programmed to be friendly with animals of the same type

[distant field]

Huh. Guess I’d never noticed/realised that.

[gray nexus]

I think it's mostly so to prevent animals that tame first from killing or aggroing ones that haven't tamed completely yet (coz mostly you would tame a few together)

[hazy viper]

I won't make this a formal suggestion since plains foods are complete and balanced, but how did "lox on a bagel" get missed? 😋

[hidden gorge]

Would you rather sleep in a tiny cramped bed made out of salvaged materials from a house fire, or a much larger bed made out of fine wood, covered in soft blankets, and decorated with carvings?

[lucid barn]

any great seeds for building

[azure yacht]

All of them

[lucid barn]

true

[valid python]

You know what the most hilarious part of progression is? Onions.

I recall the first time I happened upon the seeds. I have a FOB on a large island with an assortment of biomes all kind of wrapping around a single large mountain.

I climb the mountain to its summit where I find a huge stone vault structure. And at the bottom of the stone vault atop a mountain is onion seeds.

And this is just really funny to me because it's a fantastic reward in terms of like in-game mechanics and progression! But it's also funny to think about the in-world implications that onion seeds are a great treasure stored in these great towers and vaults in the mountains. XD

Onions are funny and good 🙂

To a lesser extent Turnip seeds are also funny. Marching through the deadly, undead infested swamp. Fighting off horrible monsters and undead horrors... as you search for the powerful and illusive Turnip plant.

[old flint]

[plain yarrow]

Having full fenris armor is good enough to fight yagluth?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, although the fight goes by much faster if you tank a few hits from his large aoe so you won’t be able to do that.

[plain yarrow]

I see, also should I use Eikthyr or bonemass?

[warm depot]

grausten bed frame with deer hide and lox hide mattress, alongsidew with feather pillows and supported from underneath by a charred bones skeleton for 3 comfort

[nocturne wolf]

He doesn’t have much physical damage so I’d use eikthyr

It’s mostly fire, which you’re resistant to

[plain yarrow]

That will be useful thanks

[nocturne wolf]

What are you going to use to kill him?

[plain yarrow]

I will use frostner

And frost arrows

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t use the arrows unless you have to, your frostner will be much more effective
They might be useful if some enemies try to help him

[plain yarrow]

Yeah I already make sure to clear the surroundings but I'm very used to use bows

[nocturne wolf]

He has a 0.25 resistance to pierce and even with frost arrows, you do mostly pierce damage because of the base damage of the bow.

He wont resist anything from the frostner, and he takes spirit damage

[plain yarrow]

I forgot that frostner had spirit xd, thanks now I'm more sure to fight him

[round lichen]

im about to fight lord reto. how do i kill this guy

[nocturne wolf]

Just like a 2-star charred warrior. Frost or high knockback is almost a requirement

[hazy viper]

I used the root fang and locked him down quite a bit. Didn't take a single hit.

Did use more than a stack of arrows, though.

[nocturne wolf]

I used a flametal mace secondary to push him away before he hit me

[lusty dirge]

I let my skellies do it, constantly recasting their bubbles

[nocturne wolf]

Using frost and strafing around would be very fast and safe, but you’ll need a frostner or mistwalker.

[hazy viper]

I watched a video of someone who did it with the staff that works like the crossbow (don't remember its name offhand).

[nocturne wolf]

Dundr

[nocturne wolf]

What do you have to kill him with? Or have you done it already?

Bonemass power would also help, but only if you plan on taking a hit (why?)

[round lichen]

lighting axes and green mace

[round lichen]

fully maxxed flametal too

[nocturne wolf]

Use the mace secondary to keep him away, and when he’s rooted go behind him with the axes

It wont even be a challenge

[round lichen]

okay

[desert tangle]

ripp valheim leaving game pass :(

[royal tendon]

Can i find starred wolves near world center? Been hunting for 2 nights in a row, killed probably 20 0 stars but no 1 stars yet

[sharp bluff]

are you hunting at night?
starred wolves can only spawn at night, with a 10% chance for a 1-star and a 1% chance for a 2-star

[royal tendon]

Hmm yea i have just been unlucky

[sharp bluff]

"night spawns" have a somewhat fixed location
you can mark those and check them every night

[hidden gorge]

You are generally going to find less starred creatures the closer you are to the start

[royal tendon]

But the odds for a single type of mod wont change right?

[junior forge]

Valheim is coming off gamepass on Xbox in 11 days 🙏😔

[desert tangle]

tfw u just started a new playthrough 3 days ago on game pass :(

[desert tangle]

yall think i can beat the game in 11 days?

[smoky quarry]

it`s not that kind of game

[cold frost]

prolly if you do easy mode and just burn through and forget about building

[merry pebble]

it certainly is possible 🙂 but depends on you

[cold frost]

is there anywhere you can ask or just look to see if people wanna join you on a playthrough besides making the post in LFG?

[merry pebble]

only in #1024264966712340510 on this server i am afraid

[cold frost]

thats what i figured just wanted to keep on the safe side

[tacit crystal]

Warning everyone: if you want to use cart/eitr tactic to destroy wards in dvergr bases and then claim the loot inside without angering the residents, DON'T use thunder infused Flametal weapons as the lightning damage chains from hitting objects and chain and aggro dvergr inside. Angering 2* mage became very close to end my deathless run.

[heady parcel]

Question for the regulars - has there been any talk of changing the character animation of the player manning the tiller when sailing? I.e. holding the tiller and actually moving it when sculling against the wind?

[nocturne wolf]

There’s no talk of changing any animations. None of them need changing.

[heady parcel]

Well, there are none, that's the point. It's a very minor thing, but since I do a lot of sailing I occasionally think "man it would look cool if my guy actually had his hand on the tiller when steering/sculling".

But question answered, not something that's been talked about - all I needed to know. 🙂

[merry pebble]

well i would imagine stuff like this will be looked at after we get closer to full release 🙂

[unreal bear]

They seem to be pretty receptive to suggestions. Adding things like the off/on for auto-pickup. adding the Stone Portal. I would check #suggestions and see if it's been suggested much or not. if it hasn't, suggest it. if it has, upvote the suggestion and consider voicing agreement in #suggestion-discussion

[azure yacht]

How is having thunder enchantment and using carts/refined eitr to break wards related?

[tacit crystal]

Not directly but having Ashlands gear and going back to Mistlands to find dvergr towers to loot and demolish them for black marble. Didn't want to anger 2* mage but did it by accident after destroying the ward when I hit the boxes with my Storm Star and the chain lightning hit them.

[heady parcel]

Did a fairly ambitious search and came up with nothing, so I did post a suggestion about it.

[unreal bear]

nice

just gave you an upvote

[heady parcel]

Thanks!

[boreal nimbus]

Very sad to see I can't place a dragon tear on an item stand. Was decorating my galdr table area and dragon tear would make a great crystal ball 😢

[desert tangle]

how often does valheim go on sale?

[pearl drift]

what do i need to add to steam properties to use devcommand again?

[plush umbra]

@plush umbra

[glad schooner]

i know the small trees respawn over time, how about bushes?

[distant field]

Pretty sure neither respawn.

[glad schooner]

oh dang

totally thought small ones regrew if there was a full grown tree nearby, not sure why i thought that

[distant field]

It’s possible I’m wrong. But I’m like 95% sure.

[vocal rivet]

Only trees that are planted by the player will grow.

[glad schooner]

right on, thanks

i was trying to sustainably harvest

[wooden tapir]

its pretty funny watching the groups of roaming fuelings try and get close to my loxes

just to get abolutely crushed

[odd spindle]

Howdy

[odd spindle]

Noted

[wooden tapir]

i wonder if i can first time the ashlands without dying (:

[merry pebble]

I am 99,99% sure you will die a few times 😄 we all did

[wooden tapir]

oh i bet i will, just trying to be optimistic about my future adventures

[merry pebble]

Being optimistic Is fine and all, but thinking that first ashlands run will be deathless... That borders on delusional xD || (no offense ofc, just joking😄) ||

[wooden tapir]

would it be better to start toward one of the ends? or closer to the middle?

[merry pebble]

I would say middle, that way that way you have everything you might find the same distance from your starting point

[wooden tapir]

first death, morigan knocked me into water

gg

and i forgot to sleep in bed after moving it, feels good (:

yes i will die many times

i was unaware of the cc chain the ashlands mobs put you in

ok the charred warriors are actually hard, i cant read ther attacks yet

the delayed strikes throw me off

[nocturne wolf]

The only way to tell if they’re doing a delayed attack is a slight change in the sound. Try to dodge in a way that avoids both possible attacks, or parry twice if parrying. Frost is very effective against them because the slowed turnspeed allows you to continue attacking them without triggering their attacks.

[wooden tapir]

i have died 3 times in ashlands and ive been here 20 min

good start

[nocturne wolf]

What equipment do you have?

[wooden tapir]

full carapace

its my first time here, and idk any of the attack patterns, so just limit testing. have not been respecting the hoards

[hollow crag]

does bonemaw serpant despawn?

[cosmic kindle]

Damn the root mask makes poison dmg practically non existent

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think so, but the wiki doesn’t have spawning information

[nocturne wolf]

Poison resistance mead is even stronger. The mask is good for blobs and leeches, but you should make mead for bonemass

[tepid prawn]

you can, with godmode on, even on a solo world with normal or harder settings you will die, its just a matter of when, most likely before you kill Fader. Even if you try to escape at the slightest sign of a danger you think you can't deal with in that moment, you could still die to like a lava burst or a mob you didn't see etc. as Ashlands has lots of dangers, I didn't even mention all of them.

[hollow crag]

some how killed bonemaw serpent with level 2 fine wood bow

27 frost arrows, had 40 of them

[wooden tapir]

I JUST GOT 1 SHOT THROUGH MY SHIELD FROM A 2 STAR CHARRED WARRIOR

i thought i could at least block

[tepid prawn]

I think you can block him if your block skill is high enough, maxed flametal shield and 3 ashlands health foods 😛

[wooden tapir]

i just got here

[tepid prawn]

well I imagine you would not block a 2 star then, or the 2 star miniboss

[wooden tapir]

well i was kiting him out with a bow

[tepid prawn]

Spinesnap is fantastic for Ashlands

[wooden tapir]

i was just curious how much dmg he would do through my shieldthe answer was over 200

[tepid prawn]

2 star warriors are no joke

[wooden tapir]

yea, i had to learn the hard way i guess

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have a mistwalker or frostner?

[wooden tapir]

mistwalker

[nocturne wolf]

Jump over him and secondary attack on the way down (try to hit this as early as possible), then keep strafing and jump attacking, he won’t be able to attack with the turnspeed reduction

[nocturne wolf]

You mean health foods?

[tepid prawn]

Yes health thanks for pointing out my typo, @ Dale Sevrahn made a google doc calculating blocking stuff, let me find it

Its in this channel pinned under "Blocking Breakpoints"

[wooden tapir]

idk i mean i was not expecting to full block him for sure, but i was not expecting 200 dmg from 1 hit through the block

[tepid prawn]

320 unmitigated damage from the 2 star

[wooden tapir]

thats insane

[tepid prawn]

the google doc explains it all well in case you want to have a deep dive, its pinned in this channel here in discord

[wooden tapir]

i might take a look at it later

320 dmg is crazy, but it makes sense, 2 star warrior for a reason

[nocturne wolf]

You didn’t learn in mistlands that blocking 2-stars is a bad idea?

[wooden tapir]

i never ran into a 2 star in the mistlands

[tepid prawn]

My "FLEE" skill is at 100 on at least one of my chars 🙂 (run xD)

[wooden tapir]

also i had maxed carapace buckler and lvl 40 blocking, i never failed a block until then

[nocturne wolf]

So you also never found a 2-star fuling berserker? Or blocked a troll with a wood shield?

[wooden tapir]

nope

[nocturne wolf]

There are some weaker attacks from 2-star enemies that you can block (such as an asksvin bite) but it’s usually best not to.

[tepid prawn]

you need 298 health at block level 100 with a maxed flametal shield to block him if I used the spreadsheet correctly

[wooden tapir]

so basically, dont block

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, jump or roll instead

[tepid prawn]

even for a 1 star at block level 90 you need 198 health

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/

thats Sevrahns spreadsheet he or she does a lot of cool things for Valheim data monkeys

[wooden tapir]

i mean

4 deaths in my first 2 hours of ashlands isnt that bad

could be worse

[nocturne wolf]

Have you been to one of the caves yet?

[wooden tapir]

no

[nocturne wolf]

Have you found any?

[wooden tapir]

no

[stable spire]

Morgen caves?

[wooden tapir]

i set up a small base so i have the false security

and did a little exploring around my base

have fought everythign i see so i can find out what they do

warriors are my current arch nemesis

[stable spire]

Have you fought a valkarie yet

[wooden tapir]

not yet

and just like that i went from being 97 run today, to like 75

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall on this windy friday.

[crude saddle]

It is indeed very windy

[opal prairie]

It made me 5km slower than I normally am, biked only 19-20 km today in 1h while I normally do 24-25 in an hour.

[opal prairie]

Got any reach weapons or a dundr?
Let them swing and do the sword stab, if you time it right you can do a stab and back off till they have swung again, with a dundr you can just wait till they are in your face again, blast them back and you won't get damaged.

[nocturne wolf]

He has a mistwalker so he can freeze them and strafe so they can’t attack

[opal prairie]

Works as well, roll trough swing, hit back, circle strafe.

[zinc trail]

Are there any way to improve max weight cap besides the cart? Like a potion or something

[nocturne wolf]

Haldor sells a megingjord to increase it by 150, and the ashlands boss’ power increases it by 300

[zinc trail]

Uh huh im fairly new i just got the irons whos this guy u talking about?

[opal prairie]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Haldor

[zinc trail]

Ah yes i remember that the birb mentioned some merchant but never found him nor hes sister

[nocturne wolf]

Sail around black forests some distance from spawn until a bag icon appears on the map

Try to be at least as far as the elder

[zinc trail]

Yeah well i unfortunately did sail around and found out how miseralbe the swamps are

[nocturne wolf]

While sailing avoid the plains biome, it’s much more dangerous than it looks. (It’s the fifth biome)

[opal prairie]

It is the first biome that really gives a spike in difficulty, if you get passed it the hardest part is over in my opinion.

[zinc trail]

I heard that the plains is the best area for a main base

But i have found one yet

Only a mountain right next to me

[nocturne wolf]

Having a mountain nearby will be very helpful after swamps

[opal prairie]

This is correct. You can farm all the crops up to plains and blackmetal gets delivered to your door.

[zinc trail]

Does the long ship necessary for a solo/duo game or is it overkill?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s faster and has a lot more than 4 slots, definitely necessary.

You’ll be able to bring metal back to your base much more easily

[zinc trail]

Yeah i guess its useful for farming since u cant teleport ores

[opal prairie]

Karve is more maneuverable though and has a faster start (unless you use the start a boat by beam trick) but it is lacking in cargo hold.
Though with some finagling you can get a cart on the karve.

[zinc trail]

Well i havent watched any videos about the game so i dont know any tricks

I only watched a video about how to build a sundial

[nocturne wolf]

For metal transport and long-distance exploration the longship is definitely better.

I made a sundial once but you can use your own shadow and the map to find the time anywhere

[opal prairie]

If you build a beam over your ship that you can run against and then run against the beam the opposite way that you want to go it will launch your boat pretty quick.

[zinc trail]

I know but its cool and wanted to show off to my duo

[zinc trail]

Does that work for all the boats?

[opal prairie]

Agreed, for island hopping I would go with the karve.

[opal prairie]

Yes, so far as I know, you might damage your ship a bit if parts of the ship collide with the beam though.

[slate grove]

When do I get access to upgraded portals?

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands

[slate grove]

Hmmm so most lands is next for me. I need to find one within boat range right? I can’t portal the crafting materials from there can I?

[nocturne wolf]

You can portal everything you need to make new stuff

[opal prairie]

You can't portal metal bars and ore but all the rest can be transported through a portal and even those things can be transported if you change a world modifier.

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need any metal from mistlands though

[slate grove]

Ok cool. I have a portal to most lands but it’s very very far away by boat

[zinc trail]

So i found rhe shopkeepers sister and what are these things that got revealed by the map next to her?

Are those important places or just some potential loot places?

[opal prairie]

There are chests and some loot in those places, the chests are stolen from her and she wants them back which will get her to sell more outfits to you.

[zinc trail]

Are those worth it?

[opal prairie]

To some they are to others they aren't, I just want to do it to have it finished.
The towers do have some nice loot so even if you don't do it for the chests it is still nice to do for the loot and they are a real challenge if you do it with the gear from the corresponding biome which in my opinion makes it also fun to do.

[zinc trail]

I see, well i prob gonna do it cuz now i have some side quests

But now the important question. Can i kill the npcs?

[tulip stump]

I wonder, would root harnes be better to fight fader due to all of his attacks being piercing ?

[nocturne wolf]

No. The shopkeepers are stronger than the forsaken somehow

[nocturne wolf]

Yes #screenshots message

[opal prairie]

The butcher knife doesn't even work on them.

[opal prairie]

Even better with the serpent shield also equiped.

[nocturne wolf]

That’s what the screenshot shows

[tulip stump]

oh that is nice ! just a fire resist pot to over ride the weakness and then use yagluth for the extra res or does it not stack?

[nocturne wolf]

Harnesk and Bonemass or mead and yagluth won’t stack

[tulip stump]

unfort

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent scale shield is the only stacking resistance because it’s applied in blocking calculations instead of damage reduction

[tulip stump]

i see

i mean i go ooga booga 2h sword anyway, but still

[opal prairie]

You are a crash bandicoot villain?

[nocturne wolf]

The harnesk should be good enough, just try not to get hit too much

[tulip stump]

fair

funny how that armor is still the best 4 biomes later

[opal prairie]

For melee it is extremely potent for some fights.
You don't want it in regular ashlands though but against fader and certain mobs it really shines.

[tulip stump]

i truly hope not every mob/boss is pierce resist in the next update, i wouldve loved to use the ash set plus a spear

[opal prairie]

Ooga booga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asO6QKNl7qA

[nocturne wolf]

I hope the next boss is blunt resistant, we haven’t had a blunt resistant boss yet

[tulip stump]

true

or actually

slash resistant, sword supremacy has to stop

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass is already slash resistant

[tulip stump]

this unlocked a core memory

[nocturne wolf]

How about a boss resistant to everything except pickaxe damage?

[tulip stump]

ay yo make it happen

[tacit crown]

Rock

[tulip stump]

or maybe everything except fists, make it viable please

[nocturne wolf]

You’d have to kill it with a battering ram

[tulip stump]

lure troll to boss fight >

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls can’t damage bosses

[tulip stump]

aw

[opal prairie]

Aptly named the rock. It's call phrase is: One On One With The Great One!

[opal prairie]

Trolls absolutely can.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE-C28-noDI

[tulip stump]

it just sits there too, just tanking damage

[nocturne wolf]

I forgot about trollstav

[tulip stump]

summoned trolls also have a lot of pickaxe i guess

[opal prairie]

Normal trolls as well, you just need a bunch.

[nocturne wolf]

That video would be modded. Enemies don’t aggro on bosses and trolls can’t accidentally damage them either because they don’t have any friendly fire attacks.

[tacit crown]

💅

[tulip stump]

not sure why i build a base in the deep north to have my world prepared for the next update knowing damm well it will be destroyed

[tacit crown]

Sir, that wont work

[opal prairie]

I've had a troll hit the elder when it came trudging in when I was fighting the Elder, I can't remember if I dodged and the troll hit the elder or that the elder aggrod the troll by damaging it with roots and the troll went after the elder on its own, too long ago.

[nocturne wolf]

Roots and the elder are both on the boss faction. I don’t know how that could happen.

[opal prairie]

Probably dodge rolled and the troll hit the elder then, as I said it was a long time ago and a hectic fight.

[nocturne wolf]

The troll shouldn’t be able to hit the elder though, because boss faction is friendly to all enemies and trolls don’t have friendly fire attacks.

[opal prairie]

It certainly looked like the troll hitting the elder.

[nocturne wolf]

Was it dealing any damage? How long did it do this for?

[opal prairie]

A few swings and can't really tell if it did damage, it was more than a year ago.
We do have trollstav now though so trolls can still dmg bosses ^^

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, seeing a 2* Gjall is an instant "flee" command for me.

[opal prairie]

That depends on in what gear I am, melee focused, run.
Bow focused, Sometimes I'll engage sometimes I'll flee.
Mage, bring it on!

[tacit crystal]

I don't find it worth the hazzle and potential death, and they still drop only 1 bilebag.

[opal prairie]

True but I see it as payback for all the times they killed me in the past before I got mage gear ^^

[hollow crag]

Probably bugs and glitches, sometimes for some unknown reasons random creatures that are not supposed to be tame are tamed and no one had mods, recently I found out it was a bug from the patch notes

[fickle imp]

looking for some people to play with if thats possible

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510 is the right channel

[royal tendon]

Im either the unluckiest being or im doing smth wrong

Ive been trying to find a 1* wolf for 4 nights, met probably 50+ wolves and not a single starred one

[plush umbra]

are you making sure to kill all starless wolves you see?
ones that spawned during the day will just stay around forever and clutter the zones' wolf cap so fewer new ones may spawn at night

[royal tendon]

Yep killing all of them

[plush umbra]

must be horrible luck then ^^" my condolences

[royal tendon]

Probably lol

[heady parcel]

Is the spinning wheel supposed to be quiet these days?

[merry pebble]

no? i dont think so

[heady parcel]

Not making noise for me, hmm

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps its diesel engine is replaced for an electrical one to apply for the new climate preservation rules.....

[heady parcel]

Ah well, was awfully loud before so I'm not complaining

[heady parcel]

Oof yeah last night I aggroed a pack that had three one star wolves and one regular

Next wolf I met was two star. Crazy night...

Aah, the sweet sound of nightspawn slaughtering animals in the forest

[plush umbra]

your character just went deaf from exposure

[heady parcel]

Could be!

Was just some temporary bug, next time I entered the room it was back to its regular noisy self

Seems to depend on camera angle and structures, by panning around I can get the noise to lower or disappear entirely

[royal tendon]

Nahh i got a lot an awful lot of mobs last night but no starred wolves

Golem, 2 drakes, fenring and 3 wolves basically at once

[stable spire]

How many wolves does it take to kill Fader

[merry pebble]

go and find out 👀

[fallen zephyr]

Having taken Asatru's advice, I look forward to reading the published literature.

[nocturne wolf]

Asksvins would be better. If you want to use something weak, why not boars instead?

[stable spire]

Boars would be funny

[nocturne wolf]

You'd get a ton of bacon after the fight too

[stable spire]

Real

[fallen zephyr]

Oh yeh! I did publish a paper on this one. It turns out that our research suggests that one Asksvin is worth on average 1.7 (+/- 0.26, 90% confidence interval) wolves.

[keen cliff]

has it been peer reviewed?

[fallen zephyr]

I showed it to a local jetty, but it had nothing to say one way or another.

[queen tendon]

Hello! Anyone interested in finding someone for daytime play on a new world?

[keen cliff]

What journal was it published in?

Sometimes it would be easier to negotiate this server if Earth was flat.

[keen cliff]

I have a subscription to Valheim Science Monthly, but didn't see the paper referenced.

[fallen zephyr]

Dude.. I'm playing with 'peer' vs. 'pier'. How are you not getting that?

[keen cliff]

i've only had 2.5 cups of coffee so far. I'm not fully functional yet. I've found that "not fully functional" is the easiest way to do with this Discord usually.

maybe i need to re-assess my strat

but the idea of a Valheim scientific journal tickles me

[still crow]

If you were fully functional you'd be Data 🥰

[keen cliff]

i've been married for 18+ years. I apparently don't need to be that type of functional anymore... sadly

[plush umbra]

does someone has some suggestions for mods that help especially early game i wanted to try r2modman

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion might.

[ivory patio]

is the valhein experience worth it now? even if its early access? or better to wait for the full release?

[keen cliff]

you're on its discord, so we're all biased. but it's the best $20 i've spent on a video game

[ivory patio]

i mean does the game have a end quest? like something to work to? endboss or smth

[keen cliff]

it's got one more biome to be completed before you can technically "beat" the game

[ivory patio]

im a very quest driven person and i kinda need a purpose for the games i play, thats why i struggled a lot with minecraft being so without quests and easy

[keen cliff]

each biome has a boss. so you may enjoy how each biome is basically a quest

[ivory patio]

ah ok so the game isnt finished in the sense that thes need to release another biome to complete the exploration loop

[keen cliff]

each biome has an exploration/resource gathering/new equipment/boss loop

but the last biome isn't added yet, so you can't "finish" the game yet

[ivory patio]

i see

ok thanks that has helped me a lot already 😄

[hazy viper]

Chances are if you start now, maybe you'll be arriving at the last boss about the time it's ready.

[ivory patio]

is the new update for the biome pretty soon?

[vocal rivet]

Realistically you'd have to play very slowly for that to be true.

[keen cliff]

i wouldn't bet on that. depending on what type of gamer he is

[ivory patio]

like didnt it got already an update like 2-3 monbths ago?

[keen cliff]

right. second to last biome added

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, Ashlands only just had it's last, probably patch.

[keen cliff]

i don't even think rush. it could be 6+ months until deep north

[ivory patio]

is the game challenging tho?

[hazy viper]

Yeah, could totally get there first if played just to beat each boss.

[keen cliff]

tldr: yes. some people struggle more than others

[vocal rivet]

So... The normal gameplay?

[hazy viper]

Not my normal. 🙂

[ivory patio]

and is the building like a big part of the game or just something to do for fun

[keen cliff]

there's a minimum amount of building you "have" to do. crafting tables and such

you will want a house with a bed/comfort items, then forges/crafting tables/etc. you'll generally need to farm some food

[vocal rivet]

I clearly meant for the average player.

[keen cliff]

the average player isn't hanging out in this discord imo

[vocal rivet]

I love how people of two opposing views have This'd your comment.

[keen cliff]

i think it's fair to say Valheim intends players to move from biome to biome, defeating bosses as they go. But the sandbox style of the game allows for many distractions and player-decided goals

[vocal rivet]

Definitely.

[hazy viper]

I have nearly 2K hours in this game, nearly 4000 day world, lots of exploring, lots of building, and I've waited on each boss until it's ready to drop its actual thing for the next biome. I realize I'm not normal, but I do think you can get more enjoyment out of it than just beelining the bosses, obviously.

[keen cliff]

gamers with the mindset of "must beat all bosses quickly/finish game/start new game" will have a minimum of hours. they exist i believe

[vocal rivet]

Of course. I'd go so far as to say they were the majority.

[keen cliff]

yeah. when i find the "right" game, i'm a "journey is more important than the destination" type of guy.

[grave mural]

i need to refrain from editing the wiki

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[grave mural]

because im on the page for the world edge and theres 3 issues in the firs tsentence

but to fix them i have to actually read whether the vikings even thought the world was flat in the first place which is a lot of effort for a wiki page 3 people have read and 4 people will read forevermore

[vocal rivet]

Well, it's not really a real thing in game so it's not super critical.

[heady parcel]

That is the true beauty of Valheim for me. If I want to stubbornly work on my Black Forest stronghold for weeks upon weeks without moving ahead to the next thing to beat, the game doesn't punish me for it. The way they have crafted this is genious in my book. Powergamers who want to "beat" the game as quickly as possible can do that and it provides them with challenges, while it just as easily gives space for someone like me, who prefers to take it slow and move on to the Swamp when I feel like it, rather than the very second I would be able to.

[keen cliff]

Agreed. Basically the mechanics don't force progression. There's no timer ticking. And there's generally no resource being drained that makes you need to move forward. I guess if I'm too slow while trying to progress, i might run out of top tier food. But then I guess it just forces me to spend some time getting the non-farmables to make more.

[heady parcel]

In my current playthrough, I have simply opted to do what I think is cool at every turn. This means at this point I have built four primary bases, one of them my biggest and most ambitious Valheim build ever, and since I can't decide which is no 1, I keep hopping back and forth between them, and I'm building paved overland roads to make carting less of a headache. I started this playthrough in July and I haven't pushed on to Mistlands yet, much less Ashlands...

[distant field]

Are there any non-renewable food ingredients?

(Things for which there is a strictly finite amount in the world)

[keen cliff]

I don’t believe so.

Royal jelly was more finite until a patch made it respawn in mines.

But still not technically finite

[distant field]

So, only building and crafting materials are finite (and most of those not particularly so).

[heady parcel]

Yeah, since the world itself is so huge, it's a minor issue

[wooden tapir]

i could not imagine running my world dry of any resource as a solo

[heady parcel]

I mean, if you manage to deforest an entire valheim world you deserve some kind of reward

Even on a 10-man dedicated world ran for over a year, less than 50% is explored, much less exploited

Most guys craft what they need, build what they need, and then go spank the bosses

[wooden tapir]

yea im almost 600 days into my world, have not even crossed into the top half of the map

ive explored probably 200 meters up from spawn at the furthest

[warm depot]

can you use catapults to destroy spawners inside forteesses if u get good at it?

I dont see other relative good use

[plush umbra]

Why is there such little wild life

I have been exploring looking boar and deer

barely any
