[blazing junco]

it feels unbalanced

[bright siren]

so there's what 2 NPC's now? Hildir and i saw long time ago another female dwarf one? @light moat

[light moat]

Haldor is the male dwarf (Dverg) and Hildir is the female

[bright siren]

oh wait lol

😂 😂 i dont have the female one haha

[light moat]

She’ll be in your world! 😁

[bright siren]

i dipped long time ago, i only have Haldor, i thought he will be getting the upgrades haha

Hildir is the female then, got it. hahaha

[light moat]

Haldor got some tweaks as well, actually. And yes, your world will have those changes already 🙂

[bright siren]

okay cool, did he just get new items?

[light moat]

He got like one new item, and I think some others got progression locked? Nothing too major

[bright siren]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-roll-gif-26556601

okay cool, well shiteeee im installing the game.

can i tweak world settings on my first ever seed?

like ore through portals?

[light moat]

Yep!

[bright siren]

im checking now lol

[bright siren]

check dms lol i sowed you something

[light drift]

Is there a use for excess eikthyr horns? Or no reason to kill him more than once?

[hazy viper]

Only reason to kill him again is to hang his trophy on your wall. He's one of the better looking ones.

[lost sentinel]

i usually put bonemass trophy on my mead hall or fermenting place

[light drift]

But no use for extra antlers?

[hazy viper]

Only if you want more bone pickaxes for deco or something, but once you have bronze you don't need them.

[valid python]

I'd say skip bronze pick since antler can get iron.

Antler also has the advantage of being repaired with a workbench and nor a forge.

Having extra picks isn't much of an issue imo since you're far more likely to run out of carry weight before you run our of inventory slots when it comes to ore.

[hazy viper]

Depends on if you want more bronze before defeating the elder and getting into swamp. Mining a bunch with antler would be a pain.

Well, more of a pain.

[valid python]

I typically build a repair station out and about. But ye. It just depends :3

[bright siren]

you dont get seeds back when you harvest produce?

[merry pebble]

You can plant a seed type of the crop by using the crop itself, that will give you seeds

[bright siren]

you can plant a carrot by placing a carrot?

[merry pebble]

By using cultivator, samé as planting carrot seeds to get carrot you will get 3 seeds for planting one carrot

[bright siren]

ohh i forgot that tool

[bright siren]

anyone else having this kind of blurr when i turn around with the mouse? its kinda annoying

[nocturne wolf]

Is motion blur on in graphics settings?

[bright siren]

it was actually depth of field

i fixed it now. motion blur was off

DOF was causing that

[trim void]

first playthrough just hit 365 Valheim days. In the mistlands now and i finally got magic feel like im a pimp

been waiting to get magic since i started been such a fun time and a crazy ass journey

[grand wagon]

Yo

Ya'll got any public community server recommendations? Started to become boring playing solo Valheim all the time

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510 should have some groups you can join

[grand wagon]

Alr, thanks

[tacit crystal]

Cool that you have that old world! Just for you to know, when Mistlands came out devs changed world gen for new worlds to create larger areas of Mistlands that replaced mostly Swamp areas further from center while old worlds remained the same. So the changes are that your world has large areas of Swamp even further so you don't have to worry about exploring them too much.

[grand wagon]

@granite quarry is the server yall playin on public? if so, could i get the IP?

[wooden cove]

Yo I wanna start a new run, hard, no portal. Do you think I should make a new character?

Nvm im just gonna do it like that, hard with no portal but death stats is on very easy

[bright siren]

Thanks for explaining that!

also the resin upkeep for my base is killing me...lol torches run out so fast

i need 1million resin to keep my base from being in the dark lol

[tacit crystal]

In later game you can get some light sources that don't require any fuel.

[granite quarry]

It's not technically public but if you ask the host in here you can probably join.

[grand wagon]

Who is it?

[granite quarry]

That'll be baberox.

[grand wagon]

Alr

[bright siren]

ah cool, must be a new item then from mistlands or ashlands?

[tacit crystal]

3 items during Mistlands to be exact, can't put spoiler tag on mobile so if you don't mind I can tell what they are.

[bright siren]

oh im far away from mistlands, its all good! thanks

[tacit crystal]

No problem, you will eventually find out. Have fun!

[rustic scarab]

which mod yall using to keep the torches lit?

[bright siren]

lol weight is still annoying in this game, i forgot about it....not even 30 silver ore stack and im almost 450

ooof..

[merry pebble]

None, but if you want some for it then folks in #mods-discussion might know about one or two 🙂

[forest mulch]

would anyone wanna play

[bright siren]

that profile pic is scaring me though

[forest mulch]

cutie potato

[lunar sapphire]

You may find other players looking through or creating a thread in the #1024264966712340510 channel. Make sure to read the posting guidelines of that channel first if making a thread.

[forest mulch]

ait thanks ig

[midnight goblet]

waiting for boars to tame rn so how's everyone's day going?

[coarse jackal]

judge not!!!!!!! before you fool yourself.... judge not!! or youre not ready for judgement!!
oouuhh the road to life is rocky and you step on it too
and as you point your finger someone else is judging you 🐊

[versed parcel]

pop off or whatever

anyway wish you could give tamed animals longer names

why can't I name hen #3 Galvanized Square Steel

[tame jackal]

hello there. anyonne would be willing to help me to attack my first charred fortress ?
contact me in discord 😉

by chance i found Dyrwyrn Hilt fragment. i read on internet you need 3 of those to rebuild the sword. right ?

[tacit crystal]

Correct. One of those places is different from other 2, you will see then.

[tame jackal]

i think i found place for second location

mysterious whatever

but ashlands is vast and dangerous ;P

[tacit crystal]

Those locations can direct you to next Dyrnwyn piece location, you can also find vegvisirs inside Putrid Holes that lead you to the other locations.

[tame jackal]

yeah i think i foud the second obne in putrid holes on a vesigir

last one is missing.

this sword is the best ?

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely.

[tame jackal]

yeah i forgot some sword can deal distance damage ..... i mean best when you use it as normal sword ?

[nocturne wolf]

It has the most damage per hit for a 1h sword but the effects you can get from a flametal sword with a gem can be more useful

[grand wagon]

Use a weight change mod and you're gold

[nocturne wolf]

Or just make a cart

[grand wagon]

Troublesome in mountains

Best in plains and meadows, it speaks for it self

[nocturne wolf]

You can get a lot of items down slopes easily by pushing it off a cliff

[grand wagon]

True

Also risking breaking it

[nocturne wolf]

Even better, jump inside and see if you survive

[grand wagon]

A boat

[rotund parrot]

I just drive the cart and slow it and guide it down the hills but both work well

[grand wagon]

Build a boat on the mountains and ride down. With all your resources

[tame jackal]

unlock portal for metal ?

so no one for charred fortress ?

[rotund parrot]

Sounds fun, you are not acceptings dm from people not in your friend list though

[tame jackal]

ah sorry come on chat

just under haldor one 😉

[frank ember]

Is there a good mod for some extra variety in map pins?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[frank ember]

thanks

[vagrant mica]

Hello chat.

[mystic sonnet]

I'm sick of these abominations, i found one near the bonemass spawningplace

[merry pebble]

They are easy enough to deal with once you know their timings 😄

[midnight goblet]

Is there any way to increase it? I know when you have corpse run it goes to 450 but rn I'm still at 300

[bright siren]

not that i am aware of. Only way to increase it is with the pouch upgrade from the first NPC you encounter, it will increase to 450. Sadly thats it... again not saure if they added something else to the weight but i doubt it.

[midnight goblet]

I must try find that npc

[bright siren]

Black forest! scout them all you will see him dont worry, a little medievel coin bag icon appears on your map too. Goodluck!

[midnight goblet]

Oh thanks for the heads up!

[vagrant mica]

Is there a channel for asking if anyone wants to play together?

[merry pebble]

----> #1024264966712340510 😄

[vagrant mica]

I am just new to the game.

Ohh thanks!

[azure yacht]

Should've left it there.

What better way to learn a hard lesson than experiencing the reason why you needed to learn that lesson in the first place?

[summer hinge]

fair, but gotta keep things consistent.

||wont say i disagree tho||

[light drift]

For very early game, wood shield or one of the tower shields? I can't decode and realized I need a shield

[whole pulsar]

either is viable, depending on if you want to parry+counter for damage (buckler) or tank damage (tower)

[nocturne wolf]

Normal shields can parry for more damage against a single target, and tower shields have high knockback when blocking to split groups

[light drift]

I guess I'll have to learn parry timing

I just got leather armor and I'm in a catacomb TERRIFIED

[nocturne wolf]

You just need to start blocking less than a quarter of a second before the attack hits

[merry pebble]

round is all-rounder, tower is for static block only and later you get bucklers that are mainly for parrying 🙂

[light drift]

Oh it tells you if you parry. Actually doesn't seem like that horrid of a window

Better than elden ring 👀

[merry pebble]

oh the window is LOOOOOOOOOOONG

[west patio]

Anyone have an estimate on when deep north update will release?

[light drift]

Very forgiving. I just know certain big boys can't be parried. I'm scared of this stupid troll

[merry pebble]

nope, we got just got ashlands really not that long ago, i assume between 1 and 2 years from now

[west patio]

Yeah dont know how it takes so long for these content updates.

[nocturne wolf]

It’s best to roll through their attacks until you have black forest food and a bronze buckler if you want to parry them.

[merry pebble]

so far more than a year

[light drift]

You're insane. Content takes time to get well and I can tell this game has a lot of love

[nocturne wolf]

It’s because Iron Gate is quite a small team.

[light drift]

Can buckle parry more enemies? Or just better at it?

[merry pebble]

and taht they put A LOT of care and love into the development

[nocturne wolf]

Bucklers have a high parry bonus which multiplies block armor when parrying. Bucklers have more parrying armor than normal shields of the same tier, making them ideal for stamina diets or people who exclusively parry and never block.

[light drift]

Ah. Is there a list of which enemies other than bosses can't be parried?

[west patio]

I got 1k hours, im not here to complain so please relax, just saying its crazy they have not hired a few people to help with content. More frequent updates and advertising would bring lots of more customers.

[nocturne wolf]

All blockable attacks can be parried, but some enemies including all bosses can’t be staggered so parrying won’t interrupt their attacks or make them take more damage. I believe the only regular enemies that can’t be staggered are flying enemies, such as drakes or gjalls.

[dreamy crow]

I have +2k hs and im still waiting to get a Dungeon in Ashlands like a castle or smth, a long hard dungeon like Frost caves in Mountains, they got added in later time, and they are AWESOME, best stuff from Mountains

[light drift]

So even trolls can be properly parried? I must be absolutely mistiming their swing

[nocturne wolf]

What shield and food have you been using to parry them?

[light drift]

I mean. All I have is wood. I just got enough cores to get my smelter. So maybe they're just dealing more than my shield can block. Even with the parry bonus

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message

[nocturne wolf]

Make a bronze buckler as soon as you can if you want to parry them.

Black forest doesn’t have a regular shield, probably to encourage players to use a specialised shield while they’re still learning the combat.

[sinful fulcrum]

You may also dodge roll their attack

if you set your boat to the ocean, make sure to look for isles with white rocks on it, be prepared to save some stamina

[azure yacht]

That would not make development faster

More customers for a buy-once game is irrelevant

[azure yacht]

They won't

[dreamy crow]

Why? Frost Caves werent there in the beginning

[keen cliff]

I think putrid caves and fortresses are the dungeons of the Ashlands.

[dreamy crow]

Putrid Caves in Ashlands are like Troll Caves in Dark Forest, and Dark Forest have dungeons
Fortresses are like Dverger builds in Mistlands

[keen cliff]

Putrid caves are like troll caves. But I don’t think fortresses are like dverger buildings.

[dreamy crow]

Still hope they add more bigger stuff, could even be with the same loots you already have, no need of new items, but need more space, more loot, in 1 world, Ashlands is too small for more than 1,2 ppl, we need dungeons with more space and loot, the magic of dungeons in valheim is having more space to farm, without need of making the world bigger

[vocal rivet]

Ashlands is plenty for 5 or 6.

[dreamy crow]

I farmed all fortresses in a world x1, flame metal? you have to spare, A LOT, but gems? you get too short

[vocal rivet]

Ok?

There are six on my server and I don't think we did more than 5 fortresses.

[azure yacht]

Because mountains weren't a complete biome before but were later

Ashlands is a complete biome since day 1

[dreamy crow]

Im talking about making all special weapons full level, i dont know what you mean with been ok

[vocal rivet]

There's absolutely zero need to make all weapons maximum level (not that you even can).

[dreamy crow]

To end game? of course, you could even speedrun, but if wanna have it all, is not enought

[azure yacht]

If you want to have it all it's your decision.

Doesn't mean you should or especially need to do it

[vocal rivet]

Sounds like a you thing.

[dreamy crow]

Im pretty sure its not only me

[plush umbra]

I restart valheim again wish me luck guys 😭

[valid python]

Fighting a starred Seeker Soilder along side a randomly alone single Drever is one of the funnest things in the Mistlands imo.

I see him about to take a fatal hit and rush in to block, yeah! Then he nails it in the back!

[azure yacht]

No one says it is

[dreamy crow]

I saw a lot of people saying the same in testing, and ashlands was finished since day 1..

[azure yacht]

Because it is, all content meant to be there is there

[valid python]

Of course you are smart enough to know that doesn't mean it can't get updates 🙂

I know you aren't so ignorant as to think small updates are impossible XD

[valid python]

Moot point imo. Obviously not having enough resources to make everything that game mechanics allow is an oversight.

Zero chance this is not patched in the future. In the mean time we can harvest multiple worlds or simply mod in renewable ways to get the lacking resources

[azure yacht]

How many updates has plains had since its release?

[vocal rivet]

I know you're smart enough to know he didn't say that.

[vocal rivet]

3?

[rotund parrot]

I think one to add the tar pit and one for the sealed towers?

[azure yacht]

If you count hildir yes

H&H added much more to plains... And it was release three years ago

[topaz palm]

any friends to play together

[valid python]

Yes so my point stands... updates to older biomes are not out of the question

[azure yacht]

With that logic then black forest and mountains had more...

But it's not like those are very significant content

[merry pebble]

you can look in #1024264966712340510 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Again, noone said they weren't.

[valid python]

Youn missed a few messages the

[azure yacht]

Also mistlands and ashlands are much more recent, and the quality and amount of content in those is much more drastic in comparison to the oldest biomes

The only thing you can expect from ashlands should be number tweaks, nothing else

[rotund parrot]

Keep in mind that the deep north is still upcoming and I personnally always assumed that there would be additionnal ways to get gems there as well as further workbench upgrade to upgrade our weapons

[valid python]

So it's less likely to happen soon. His idea, however, is not completely impossible.

[azure yacht]

If you expect them to create more dungeons or change the existing ones then start complaining from now because you will in the future once the game is released and they're left as they are

[azure yacht]

Yes, but in which case it would be content for DN exclusively and not ashlands and even less mistlands

[rotund parrot]

Yes of course, just addressing the concern from some about the lack of gems

[valid python]

Oh I really like how the Medows is actually indirectly updated with each biome so far.

[valid python]

I see no way this isn't an oversight to be corrected.

I'd file it as a bug report

[rotund parrot]

The RNG can be a problem, just bad luck can make is so you get very few and many of the sames ones with very few of the ones you want

I once got 11 judes, 13 bloodstones and 0 iolite after 6 fortresses

[hazy viper]

Just as a reference point, I have fully upgraded one black forge, upgraded another to allow repairs, made and fully upgraded all the Ashlands staves, the electric nidhogg and the electric axes, the electric slayer, the root fang, and the root ripper, and I have left: 5 bloodstone, 15 jade and 14 Iolite. I still have 6 or 7 fortresses left to find and loot.

[rotund parrot]

Yeah I really don't think it is a problem, you will find enough gems on average to fully upgrade around 2 weapons per fortresses.

[cosmic summit]

What happened to the builds channel?

[valid python]

I imagine that eventually all consumable resources will be renewable

[merry pebble]

wdym?

[nocturne wolf]

They seem fine, what happened?

[cosmic summit]

I don't see it anymore

[merry pebble]

do you have "show all channels" enabled?

[nocturne wolf]

Go to channels and roles at the top of the channel list

[cosmic summit]

Nvm. I. Not used to it being so far down

[merry pebble]

oh... XD

[cosmic summit]

I used to be able to see it from here

[merry pebble]

you can colaps few sections you dont use for example 😄

[light drift]

Itt does get tiring trying to run somewhere and some random boar or Grey sees you and stalks you across the ENTIRE WORLD

[finite pier]

is there an lfg channel?

[merry pebble]

------>#1024264966712340510 😄

[finite pier]

i 110% glazed over that, thank you

[merry pebble]

😄

[fair kindle]

"lets just quickly empty this single crypt in the swamp, it's right next to the ocean", they said. "It'll be easy", they said.

• Death by poison from a blob while building a quick respawn hut, after almost getting one-hit by a 1-star draugr
• Death by a draugr elite in the crypt
• Death from a sneaky draugr with a bow while trying to get my stuff

well there go my skills xD

(and i'm well aware of where we went wrong: trying to do something "real quick" (read: without preparation) in the swamp))

[light drift]

Do blunt, slash, and pierce affect different enemies different?

[nocturne wolf]

Some enemies may be resistant or weak to some of those damages. For example, trolls take 1.5x pierce damage and 0.5x blunt damage

[light drift]

Will it tell you when you hit them? And is there one that is all rounder? Like not strong to any, but not weak either

[nocturne wolf]

Damage numbers turn yellow if the enemy is weak and grey if the enemy is resistant. Greydwarves and many other enemies take 1.0x damage from all physical damage types.

[pliant hatch]

Sounds familiar. Except it happened to me in the mountains.....

... Where I had 4 "you are being hunted" events in 6 hours while trying to mine silver and / or escape from said event.

[light drift]

The mace just is screaming my name 😂

[nocturne wolf]

Maces are great because their secondary attack can do everything - it has a damage, knockback and stagger multiplier.

[fiery vale]

Hi someone to play ?

[pliant hatch]

Most likely in here:
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[valid python]

Imo Swamp is the first real difficulty spike in the game.
IMO it goes like so:
Early game transitions into mid-game at Elder's defeat.
Mid-game transitions into late game at Moder's defeat.
late game becomes end-game at the Queen's defeat.

[light moat]

You don’t feel mistlands is the first step into end-game?

[fiery vale]

thx

[valid python]

I don't feel like they're enough of a dificulty increase from plains

[light moat]

Totally agree on swamp being the first “ok, this is where it gets tough” haha

[valid python]

I mean they ARE enough balance wise, but I wouldn't call it 'end game'

[sinful fulcrum]

If you are ever about to die from poison, do a quick log out, log in back the game, and all ur status will be cleaned

Including rested

Swamp will always be the organic chemistry of valheim

[nocturne wolf]

But then you’re stuck in a swamp without rested, so you’ll probably die anyway

[fair kindle]

honestly, i didn't find the mountains and plains to be that difficult (but damn you, deathsquitos), but it does help that those two biomes are very pretty and atmospheric

mistlands was a big spike for me though, but i think that's also before the wisplight had been buffed? (at least i think it's been buffed at some point?)

[valid python]

I'm dabbling in magic some, Definatly want two blue foods.
Question is Blue-Blue-Blue, Blue-Blue-Red, or Blue-Blue-Yellow.

I'm leaning Blue-Blue-Yellow so you can take advantage of Eiter regening independantly of stamina. You can run while magic restores so I thing Blue-Blue-Yellow is the way to go

[fair kindle]

oh i'm well aware, but that kind of gamey shenanigans aren't my kind of play 😛

same with logging to a different world, dumping metals/ores into a chest, returning to the first world to portal, then switch back to the storage world to grab the metals again

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need health with a staff of protection, I’d recommend 2 eitr and 1 stamina.

[valid python]

Yeah
Black forest isn't too big a step up from the Medows, Swamp is a big step, then Mountains is a small step, Plains another big step and for me Mistlands was a small step.

of course thats me marching into Mistlands with 100 defense, and a level 4 Forstner.

[fair kindle]

what made mistlands feel like a small step for you? 👀

[valid python]

Likely 100 defense and Frostner. Omg Frostner is so good. Its been my main weapon since the start of plains, and slaps even in Mistlands

[wooden tapir]

i felt like the mistlands was realatively easy. the scarcety of enemies and only having to fight maybe like 2-3 enemies max at a time made it not that difficult

unless you are going around trying to fight eveyr dverger you see

its pretty peaceful

[hazy viper]

I am as well. I second the above suggestion for 2 eitr and 1 stamina.
Getting used to the playstyle and the anxiety with such a low hp pool. (Got careless once so far and didn't notice my bubble had popped.) It's been very fun, though. Standing off a good distance and raining down fire on a fuling village from up high is awesome.

[wooden tapir]

the only "problem" enemy i had was the gjall if i forgot to use a fire resistance potion

[wooden tapir]

only time i died as a mage so far was when i killed myself with a troll summon

pretty unfortunate

[vocal rivet]

I think lot of people would disagree there.

[fair kindle]

i'm going to give that a try in my current runs, then 👀

[light drift]

Oh damn. Iron is super luck based rn

Gotta find scrap?

[pliant hatch]

Just mine the muddy scrap piles in the sunken crypts and you're good.

Just be aware that some crypts may have more of those piles than others.
But with some "luck" you may be able to find scrap in chests as well.

[vocal rivet]

Honestly mining the scrap iron outside crypts is far more hassle than they're worth.

[pliant hatch]

That's why I didn't mention that.

[hazy viper]

It did come in handy today though when I just needed 2 for a stonecutter and didn't want to go through setting up stone portals. Grabbed the wishbone and had a couple in a few minutes.

[light drift]

Stone portals?

[vocal rivet]

Oh, for the odd two I'm sure it's OK.

[hazy viper]

Um, forget you saw that. 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

You make them with materials from the seventh biome, don’t worry about them for now

[light drift]

I just got woof portals 😅😅

Just got fine wood lmao

[pliant hatch]

Ashland portal. They got some nice additions to the wooden ones.
You'll see when you get there.

[fair kindle]

real vikings use ships 😛

[vocal rivet]

Have you been to Ashlands yet?

[pliant hatch]

You're only a real viking if you use that ship to sail from your main area towards the swamp base and back.
You're not a real viking when you destroy your ship, pick up the mats, portal to the swamp and put it back together over there.

IKEA was not a thing when the vikings travelled along the European coasts.

[vocal rivet]

I mean, they literally invented Ikea.

[pliant hatch]

I dunno about that.

AFAIK they never bought an Scottish castle, took it apart and rebuild it somewhere in the USA.

[light drift]

I'm
So
Tired
Of
Trolls
FOLLOWING ME
FOR ETERNITY!

[nocturne wolf]

They can’t follow you if you kill them

[pliant hatch]

They also would stop following you if you decide to wait a while in a burial chamber.

[hazy viper]

...then boom all of a sudden I had a different problem!

[valid python]

vaguely related, going into or out of a dungeon does NOT remove ticks. XD

[hazy viper]

Like ones that are already attached to you?

[vocal rivet]

Same with portals.

[tacit crystal]

I was going to say that but Derek was faster.

[hazy viper]

Cool. There is one other creature that can go through a portal. 😆

Opens up the possibility of a pet tick.

[wooden tapir]

so i can technically keep pet ticks? just bring them through my portal?

[fair kindle]

so pet tick zoo when?

[vocal rivet]

Well, they'll still be attached to you so... I'm not sure how great that would be.

[vapid hearth]

Was it the wrong channel?
#screenshots message

[desert tangle]

just curious on steam can i run the game without having steam client running?

[near furnace]

yes. you guys where hijacking screenshot channel

I wrote another channel description and added a cooldown timer to prevent it from being hijacked

there is a time and place for things

[vapid hearth]

Ah, my apologies

With how shallow the water is in the Ashlands, I feel like it'd be a perfect place for recreating Mother Base, at least, without relying on a Leviathan

[light drift]

Imagine a world where you can cut down a pine tree without having 8 brute and a troll showingup

[desert tangle]

use the troll to cut the tree down for u while u deal with those brutes ;p

[desert tangle]

is there a channel for base design/build help

[vocal rivet]

#building-tips or #building-discussion maybe?

[valid python]

I love that each boss you defeat makes another biome wander the Meadows. Makes for pretty intresting conflicts.

Fulings fighting a pack of greydwarves then skellys shoot em in the back!

Also a slow drip of black metal is super nice

[fervent monolith]

and even slower for iron scraps from Oozers (orange blob) when you smell foul stench from swamp

[vocal rivet]

All ores are also rare drops from various fish.

[fervent monolith]

I heard about that, but fishing is at lvl 4 . Will have to seriously train it and devise a fishing strategy.

So far I got more fishes by finding them stuck on land or in shallow water then by fishing

[vapid hearth]

I should've taken advantage of the loophole of setting my wood log stacks on fire so I could instantly turn them into coal while I had the chance

[light drift]

I did it! I killed a bitch!

Finally killed a troll. Only took me 15 fire arrows, 3 deaths, and 4 years off my life

[light moat]

Do charred skulls and pot shards respawn?

[tacit crystal]

You mean pickable ones? If they work similarly as other pickables they should, but haven't tried.

[plush umbra]

i wouldn't expect them to.
pickable branches, shrooms and dandelions respawn because they're organic things.
flint respawns because it gets washed up on shores.
pickable bone fragments, stones and treasures however don't respawn.
not that these are rules - mistlands shrooms don't respawn despite being organic, to incentivize cultivating them.

[hearty niche]

I'm feeling a PTB release this week.

My PTB sense is tingling. Maybe it's just indigestion.

[light moat]

I could’ve sworn I saw them respawn, but maybe I’m just crazy lol. I’ll keep a closer watch, try and get to the bottom of it.

[hearty niche]

I'm 99% sure mistlands shrooms respawn.

[plush umbra]

(about shards and skulls) i haven't tested, so i really don't know, just going by the patterns i doubt they respawn.
the shards at least, i could imagine skulls being justified

[plush umbra]

there was even a patch that made sure to remove their pickable "object" once they've been picked because it cluttered instances for no benefit as they'd never respawn

the ones you find in the wild and the ones you plant are iirc even the same object. if they respawned, so would the ones you plant
edit: just remembered, that's almost exactly why it was patched, because they both used (and still do use) the same object, each harvest of cultivated shrooms would leave behind the "ghosts" of all shrooms you harvested - a persistent pickable object that never respawns, which would do absolutely nothing but slightly add to the amount of instances.

[light moat]

5 acorns from one oak tree, it’s my lucky day 🍀

[plush umbra]

did some testing to confirm it (and yes, i spawned the correct pickables, all of these actually only had one pickable each, no respawning and one-time distinction)

[wind elk]

Those are non container items I think, once picked they're gone

[plush umbra]

yepp, most of them at least

some pickables do respawn, the minority of the variety, but those few do make up the ones you see most (branches, dandelions, red/yellow mushrooms, etc.)

[wind elk]

Weird thing is those stones do have container

I was like 🤔

[plush umbra]

(i forgot to add some context: the find command can detect a respawning pickable even when it isn't currently "present", because the invisible object itself remains. non-respawning pickables (usually, magecaps and jotun puffs once were an unintentional exception to this, but that's been fixed since) completely delete themselves once picked so find won't find anything)

[versed parcel]

do we know anything about the upcoming update other than the swamp stuff

I guess it might be like hildir's request
an npc in the swamp and some qol

[plush umbra]

judging by the blog it looked like there's a few minor model and texture overhauls too, at least as far as i remember

[rose venture]

Fader in singleplayer is a nightmare

[tacit crystal]

He is supposed to be harder than earlier bosses, but it is still very doable solo. New magic stuff makes the fight much easier.

[rain flare]

You gotta learn to dance around his attacks
What weapons you using?
Melee, ranged, magic?

[rose venture]

melee, already beat him but it took about an hour

[tacit crystal]

I love Jade Berserkir Axes against him. Get him rooted and move behind and keep hitting.

[pastel plinth]

Does anyone know when the game is most likely to go on sale next?

[coarse jackal]

are wolf bites still slash damage?

[nocturne wolf]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wolf Yes, 70 slash.

[coarse jackal]

why slash damage? shouldnt it be pierce?

youre not being slashed youre being bit

[nocturne wolf]

Probably to stop the root harnesk from being more op than it already is.

You'd never know what damage type it is without using it anyway

[coarse jackal]

also is it worth looking for 2 star wolfs to breed? is it a big step up from the normal ones in damage and is it worth to spend the time an resources

[coarse jackal]

right

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think so, but others might disagree

[coarse jackal]

i just checked and 0 star wolves do 70 damage while 2 star wolves do 140

i think ill try getting the 2 star wolf but when it becomes to much of a hustle ill just go with the 1 star ones

[merry pebble]

they are nice to have as base defense but not necessary at all 🙂

[rain flare]

Yeah, was just about to recommend those - the jade axes is just so good against him!
Once immobile Fader is so much easier to deal with ❤️‍🔥

[coarse jackal]

will there ever be a a way to change your eye colour also did i say that right

[merry pebble]

some helmets/head pieces change it 🙂

[coarse jackal]

thanx

thats cool

[rain flare]

Mods.
I play with an npc mod that let’s you become an elf

Get greenish yellow eyes instead of light blue

[coarse jackal]

i want to play without mods so its easier to play with friends

[rain flare]

Not sure of any other eye mods honestly

[tacit crystal]

The base eye color is always blue but the shade of it changes a bit when you change your color skin - with darker skin you have darker eyes.

[opal prairie]

Afternoon gjall.

[past hill]

Hi, im reallt sorry to bother u guys but im stuck and i dont know what to do after killing the first boss :c

I really need help on what to do next? where do i find the next boss or whatsoever?

[nocturne wolf]

Find a black forest biome and mine some ore with the pickaxe you can craft now, then Hugin will explain the rest.

[past hill]

pickaxe?

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr drops antlers which are used to craft the first pickaxe.

[past hill]

Ouu yeah i just made that!

I would honestly pay u if u can guide me through in dms

[wind elk]

spoilers! 🤣

[merry pebble]

the fun is the exploring you do on your own 😉

[wind elk]

even more fun when you do nomap and hardmode

only recommended if you've 'finished' at least once

[past hill]

IM SO LOSTTT

[merry pebble]

Ugh... Me no like xD

[wind elk]

it can be fun, making landmarks, cartographing on your own, preparing base, mapping resources

[trail pelican]

if you're lost and aren't intentionally trying to force yourself to only learn in-game the wiki is very helpful https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki

[past hill]

BUT I KILLED THE FIRST BOSS AND

[nocturne wolf]

You can check any previously read tutorial messages from a menu accessed with a button in the top right of the inventory screen

[past hill]

IM ALL LOST AND IDK WHAT TO DO

[nocturne wolf]

Try this #valheim-chat message

[trail pelican]

the biomes are arranged in an intended linear progression (getting the armor & weapons made from the new resources of each generally speaking will prepare you to face the enemies of the next biome); the biome progression is Meadows > Black Forest > Swamp > Mountain > Plain > Mistland > Ashland; each boss will drop something that unlocks either getting to the next biome, being able to do something in it, or just navigating around it

[past hill]

i did

but where do i find this elderwood guy

[trail pelican]

ah, it can take a bit of hunting--the bosses tend to spawn further and further out from spawn

but it's very randomized

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps you should lean back for a while and watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAMPr9kytfk&list=PLl_Xou7GtCi70kbZkGTt84OBuVYSCjKlN

But be aware of the spoilers it has.

[nocturne wolf]

You can find a vegvisir which will place a marker on your map in various locations around the black forest biome
Don't worry about the boss for now, try to get better equipment and other upgrades first

[merry pebble]

not necessarily further and further, you just need to explorethe black forest untill you see a stone with red circle on it, like the one that showed you Eikthyr on spawn

[trail pelican]

you can count on them being in the biome type they're for--i.e. you will find the 2nd boss in a black forest--beyond that the best way to find them besides just randomly bumping into a location exploring the new biome is to look for the vegvisir which look like little rocks with red circular runes on them, they'll reveal the closest boss location; but as blobi said, you first priority each time you enter a new biome to make bosses & enemies more manageable will be acquiring the new biome resources to make equipment, critically armor

[past hill]

Okay thank youu

[fair kindle]

same, seeing the map fill out more and more is so satisfying!

[past hill]

The raven is asking me to get surtling cores?

[nocturne wolf]

The message should include some extra information on where to find them

[past hill]

beneath the earth core?

[pliant hatch]

You will need those for a fast travel system.
They're found in certain crypts in the Black Forrest.

[trail pelican]

or more efficiently, the corpses of surtlings @pliant hatch 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Explore a black forest until you find some skeletons. They usually spawn around burial chambers where these cores can be found.

[pliant hatch]

True, but that's not relevant for the one asking the question.
So better not point him / her into that direction yet.

[trail pelican]

LOL, no you're 100% correct, joke was more of you/those in the know lol

[pliant hatch]

Which are likely everyone having that kind of farm in the rainy biome.
Including me in my current playthrough.

[past hill]

So its beside the caves?

I have already found one

[nocturne wolf]

Go inside the burial chamber and search for glowing cubes.

[past hill]

Thank you i will be going now

[past hill]

Heyy!! i found 3 cores

[trail pelican]

efficient!

[past hill]

Thank you guyss

[trail pelican]

you'll need at least 5, ideally 10, for the next step

[past hill]

What do i do now?

[nocturne wolf]

Get enough cores to build a smelter/charcoal kiln to smelt copper and tin to make new items

[past hill]

How do i buuld it

[nocturne wolf]

5 cores and 20 stone

[past hill]

why is it not showing in my work bench

[nocturne wolf]

It's a build piece

[past hill]

Ouu

[nocturne wolf]

You can break a smelter or charcoal kiln to get the materials back and rebuild it as the other piece

[past hill]

do i make a shelter first orrr kiln

[opal prairie]

Killn first to get coal, you need the coal to put in the smelter.

[nocturne wolf]

Make the kiln to create coal for smelting. Two coal and one ore is needed for one bar.

[past hill]

OMG

I FOUND THE RED THING TO GET HIM ON THE MAP

[trail pelican]

awesome!

[fair kindle]

such progress! 😮 🎉

[opal prairie]

Vegvisirs are always nice to find, good luck finding the one for the plains boss though.

[stray island]

you cant always do this but finding a broken down tower in the forest and using that to shoot arrows from up high helps a lot, keeps u from getting hit while giving u free shots on the troll. also eating foods that give u the highest health possible are good to fight trolls cause u can parry them with a decent enough buckler/shield and a high enough block skill

[trail pelican]

they often are found in the "dungeons" for each biome

[stray island]

ya but not for the plains boss

[light moat]

Time to spend all day building a 2-star Asksvin ranch 💪

[light drift]

So how do shields decide your stagger? Is it a mic of health and block force? Cuz just on a whim I tried the tower shield and I don't like it, cuz it's clunky, but I was absolutely not staggering at all

[stray island]

you have the block armor of a shield + the number in parentheses, which is the number thats added from your skill progression. then you take the parry modifier (if youre trying to parry) and multiply it by the total block armor, and then add on 40% of your hp. thats the dmg u can block with a parry before it starts to dip into your stagger bar

if youre not parrying, you dont include the parry bonus multiplier

[trail pelican]

so true

[warm sandal]

towershields can not stagger at all

bucklers can but not towershields

[trail pelican]

if you mean staggering enemy ya, that's parry-based, and you can't do with tower shields specifically

[light drift]

I meant it as in it was barely staggering ME

[trail pelican]

if you mean the player getting staggered, it happens when you take too much damage relative to HP, so having high HP reduces the chance of stagger but also having high armor and successfully parrying will as well--you might notice when you're hit a little bar that pops up and fills with red/orange that quickly decays, that's the stagger meter

so you can be staggered, too, not just by one big hit, but several hits in succession if cumulatively big enough in a short enough time frame

[light drift]

I was just asking when the stagger bar fills is all. I understand now. Health plays a huge part into the value. I was just saying I tested a tower shield and was like "wow they can't touch me"

[trail pelican]

yeah the tower shield's high block force shines for big groups of mobs, not only does it just let you wall and block most of the damage without worrying about parrying, but it makes it much harder for the group to stagger you with cumulative attacks breaking your guard

[stray island]

talking about them getting staggered. not enemies

[trail pelican]

it sacrifices parrying to do that--and parrying is super useful offensively because it increased the damage you to do enemies besides also the temporary stun from staggering

[past hill]

THANK YOUU

[past hill]

Whats that?

[hazy viper]

The red carved stone you found that showed you the boss location.

[trail pelican]

the plains one is just notoriously rare

[hazy viper]

(Assuming the question was about vegvisrs)

[neon tundra]

can you still glitch into a cypt door

[opal prairie]

Vegvisir is the name for the stone with the red markings on it that show the boss on the map.

[trail pelican]

it may not even be actually more rare statistically for all I know, it's just become a community meme that it's more common to just randomly happen upon a plains boss location before finding the Vegvisir for it

[opal prairie]

Yeah, at least it feels that way, I bet there are as much vegvisirs for yagluth than for the other bosses, they are just not found in a easy to find dungeon.

[hazy viper]

Not sure. There are many burial chambers in a good sized black forest. You're lucky if one good sized plains even has a henge, and then lucky again if that henge has a vegvisr.

[trail pelican]

yeah it'd be an interesting math/stat crunching exercise, to see if it's actually a reflection of the code, but my anecdotal experience definitely lines up with it being more rare

I don't think i even saw a henge until long after i found the boss location, which I found just hunting around the plains for villages and other POI LIKE a boss location or henge

[fair kindle]

there simply are more opportunities for a dungeon wegvisisr to spawn compared to overworld structure ones

[trail pelican]

my gut is that's probably true

[opal prairie]

Can't the vegvisir be in a fuling village as well?

[hazy viper]

No

[opal prairie]

We could actually check quite easily with world viewer, turn everything off but vegvisir for yagluth and count and then check for other vegvisirs.

[past hill]

Hii! i have made the kiln what do i do noww

[trail pelican]

good point--wiki also claims "a vegvisir may be found sometimes near a Fuling Village or next to a stonehenge-type rock formation" but I don't think i've ever seen one in a village actually

[vocal rivet]

They're not more rare, just harder to find.

[fair kindle]

the kiln will turn wood into coal, so i suggest filling it up with wood and then go mine some ores in the black forest ^^

[trail pelican]

you need to make enough coal with it to smelt what you need @past hill tbh if you haven't acquired much tin or copper ore yet, you probs need to go harvest some of that next, to fill the smelter

[hazy viper]

I've done 30+ villages in my world and don't remember finding one, but I also can't trust my memory. It's a long standing world.

[past hill]

I need to use coal to smelt the copper right?

[trail pelican]

yes, the smelter has 2 input slots, one for coal and one for ores

[past hill]

ooo ok tysmmm!

[fair kindle]

one little headsup about copper: those rocks extend quite a bit below the surface. There will be a lot more than what you can see above ground! 🙂

[trail pelican]

by the end of today zy gonna be like: "where do I find an extractor?"

oh yeah copper that's a uniquely important hint that otherwise I don't know one would easily know @fair kindle looking back on it, I probs left SO much copper in the ground and made the grind SO much worse for myself not even knowing this!

[warm sandal]

with so many copper nodes all over the place i never bother to dig it all out anymore... i mark the place in case there is not a lot on my starter Island but otherwise i just mine what iis on top (with the help of trolls sometimes) and carry on. all that digging around and down feels like real grind to me

there is usually enough copper to just mine the surface and be done and go of exploring more interesting stuff

[fair kindle]

i did the exact same in my very first run, haha

[warm sandal]

I have done that in every run except the one i learned about them extending ddown

but boy that is a chore to dig it all up... na hot for me...

[stray island]

you also dont need a whole lot of copper. it quickly gets replaced in the next biome. i made a copper buckler and a copper pickaxe and thats it, i was fine with just those two items. plus whatever copper you need for crafting stations

[opal prairie]

I just explode 2 copper nodes and normally I'll have enough for that part, since I never make bronze armor, I always go for troll leather.
I owe them some payback from my first playtrough.

[trail pelican]

@warm sandal see if anything that's the exact opposite for me, now that know how much is typically submerged, I find one, maybe a second nearby, and that's all the copper I need to advance to the next biome

[stray island]

troll leather is goated early

[hazy viper]

Late in the run with all the other sources I'm drowning in copper. I took apart a number of mines and abandoned dvergr structures for black marble when I did my big mistlands tower build, and they all give copper.

[warm sandal]

i usually make the bronze axe, and mace and buckler and nothing else... i go with the antler pickaxes until i got iron 😄

[trail pelican]

exactly

not even the freaking mace maybe, but to be sure the axes, the buckler, you're set

[warm sandal]

I prefer seeing more landscape instead of digging deep 😄

[trail pelican]

lol fair

[stray island]

ya i forgot i also did the axe for slightly increased deforestation.

[warm sandal]

for finewood that is the reason... the only reason to make it 😄

[stray island]

ya

[warm sandal]

i usually enlist the help of trolls for deforestation... more fun that way

[opal prairie]

I do that for beehives, I like the have 25 of them, at least.

[stray island]

i usually just run logs into each other for early fine wood tho

i usually have portals up before i even get my bronze axe

[trail pelican]

yeah but it's nice to not have to work around that eventually, and it even works as late as the swamp trees

[opal prairie]

I wished trolls could help with defenestration but alas.

[past hill]

How to get anything higher than level 3 workshop

[trail pelican]

you have to build crafting station upgrades, and place them within a certain radius of the workstation

[stray island]

find items that u need for more workstation upgrades

[warm sandal]

progress through the biomes to get more ressources and it shall fall in place

[opal prairie]

Same here, I either bump trees or go annoy a troll and lure it back to some trees that give finewood.

[warm sandal]

I usually shy away from everything that smells even faintly like boring repetetive grind 😄 so no extensiv mining beyond what i think i need, no hauling metals all over the landscape, no digging deep no taming stuff 😄

[stray island]

exactly, who needs a bronze axe when youve got braincells lol. no need to be the brawn when u can be the brain

[fair kindle]

each crafting station upgrade increases the level by one

if you've found leather scraps, deer hides and grabbed any flint, the recipes for the first two upgrades will be unlocked in your hammer menu. The third will be unlocked when you've made a bronze ingot at a forge

[opal prairie]

I also get my finewood bow asap and the moment I have bronze nails I'll get myself an abyssal razor.

[stray island]

ive been trying to find a leviathan, cant find one. somehow made it all the way to the mistlands biome and had to gtfo as soon as i realized it, still couldnt find one

[trail pelican]

they can be very random

[stray island]

found one super super early, but i was getting chased by a serpent and didnt have time to mark it on my map

havent found it again

im just tryna get the fuckin harpoon lol

[warm sandal]

I usually struggle most lately with finding Haldors Sister... 😄

[stray island]

i found her pretty easily on accident while making my way to bonemass

and then i randomly stumbled upon a miniboss that had one of her chests

[trail pelican]

LUL

[stray island]

didnt realize it was a howling cavern rather than a frost cave, so i went in fully expecting just to deal with some cultists and a few ulvs here and there... got my ass handed to me by the whateverthefuckitscalled

[warm sandal]

lol

[stray island]

didnt have good enough food items on me at the time to properly parry it

[merry pebble]

Hah, Geirrhafa got you 😄

[warm sandal]

i usually collect the chests until i got a decent base with fortifications... three extra raids to be happening when you do not need them is a bit of a bummer

[stray island]

ya that thing. and then like 2 days later i got raided by the mountain biome and one of them was in the raid lmfao

[trail pelican]

indeed

[warm sandal]

the raids do only kick in if you bring them chests back ... so i store them and when i am ready to deal with the raids i give them back to her

[stray island]

i thought raids were based on day progression

[wide cove]

Is this a real Valheim channel from dev etc etc or is it another private Valheim channel that an private person made?

[warm sandal]

i am talking about the raids you get by doing the minibosses... you do not get them if you do not take the chests back to Hildir

[stray island]

if you take a gander off to your right.. you see a list of developers in the moderator list

[warm sandal]

you can clear the dungeons and kill the stuff

[vocal rivet]

Huh? This is the official server, yes.

[stray island]

@wide cove

[trail pelican]

oh I thought killing the miniboss triggered the raid whether you took the chest back or not

[vocal rivet]

It does.

[warm sandal]

nope it does not... it is triggerd by taking the chests back

[stray island]

oh. this whole time i thought that the difficulty (biome) of the raid was based off day progression. and i feel like it partially is cause i got mountain raided even before i took the first chest to her. i had a bunch of drakes attacking me at my base

[warm sandal]

I did test it out... i got the chests stored in a box with my Astrid Charakter it has been there for a loooooong time she is Ashlands tier... and i never got the raids never

[wide cove]

@vocal rivet then why does noone know how to fix issues?

And Darha plz stop your are not funny at all im guessing your a kid.

[vocal rivet]

Fix what issues?

[stray island]

i made one joke, if you didnt like it then ok. my bad. but im not a kid 😂

my bad i hurt your feelings by making a harmless joke

[warm sandal]

I am talking specifically about the miniboss raids you get by doing Hildirs Quests... all the other raids like "Cold wind from the mountain" are a different thing, they occur on the base of what boss you killed or other happenstances

[stray island]

ah ok that makes sense

i thought u meant like later biome raids in general. i was like nah now way 😂

[wide cove]

@vocal rivet cant connect to my friends server he is hosting i did connect to it yesterday and had no issues at all

[stray island]

i didnt realize that raids were day progression based, so i was just chillin makin my base on like day 180 something and freaked out when i saw the cold wind message pop up lmao

[warm sandal]

if you kill Bonemass you get "you are being hunted" if you kill yagluth you get "they sought you out" every boss unlocks the next bioms main raid

[stray island]

you're*

[trail pelican]

@stray island you'd have to have killed Bonemass, unless that's a buy i hadn't enoucntered

[vocal rivet]

How are you connecting? Dedicated server? Is it crossplay?

[merry pebble]

the raids are not day progression based, the days you have at that world have no impact on them, only the bosses and mobs you killed have impact on them

[stray island]

oh. idk then, i could have sworn i got mountain raided for the first time before doing the moder fight

id have to go back and look at my footage tho. could be wrong

[warm sandal]

you could ... becaus the mountain raids to unlock with killing bonemass first "you are being hunted" Moder unlocks "the horde attacks"

[stray island]

i did kill a bunch of mountain mobs tho including the miniboss so maybe thats why?

[warm sandal]

so you get mountain raids once you start doing mountain stuff

[trail pelican]

exactly--you don't even need to visit a mountain, you unlock the mountain raids, the moment you kill bonemass

[stray island]

oh i see

i thought u meant by killing moder u unlock the mountain raids. mb

[wide cove]

@vocal rivet we both play on Xbox and yesterday it did work perfectly but today i keep getting connection failed and it cant be internet because we are talking on Discord as i type here

[trail pelican]

funnily enough, once you kill moder you DISABLE the boss specific (drakes) raid, and then start getting the NEXT boss specific raid (goblins)

[warm sandal]

that is why i do make extra sure to have my stuff tied down and base defendedd BEFORE i kill Bonemass... those wolves are mercyless if you do not have defences 😄

[merry pebble]

mountain raid "A cold wind blows from the mountains." is triggered by killing bonemass and disabled by killing moder, the "You are being hunted..." is enabled also by killing bonemass but it can not be dissabled

[trail pelican]

but there are a few 'parallel' raids you'll keep once unlocked, LIKE the wolves

[vocal rivet]

Do you have the correct join code?

[trail pelican]

the 'you're being hunted raid' once unlocked after killing bonemass, stays forever--and that one specifically triggers when NOT near base

[wide cove]

Yea i do

[merry pebble]

for more info ----> https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events

[stray island]

well i killed moder like 2 days ago and still havent gotten a fuling raid, i keep getting mountain raids and swamp raids. i ended up just disabling raids after that tho cause i was tired of them killing all the wildlife around and making all my shit lag from the entities on the ground

[trail pelican]

it's very rando

i'll get like bat raids and skeleton raids constantly even though I'm in Ashlands

[wide cove]

@vocal rivet yea i do

[stray island]

thats crazy then lmao i must have gotten super lucky, ive never gotten raided by wolves. just drakes

[vocal rivet]

Wolf raid only happens in Plains and Mountains.

[nocturne wolf]

Some raids don’t get disabled.

[trail pelican]

@nocturne wolf yeah I said that, i was answering you still get "older" raids, because it just randomly selects among this growing pool of potential raids

[vocal rivet]

It's a shame there's not a website with all this information on it...

[warm sandal]

lucky indeed...they can be death fairly quickly if they catch you on the wrong foot

[stray island]

ya for sure. whenever i go into the mountains i always eat my highest rated food just in case lmao

[trail pelican]

I kinda wish you could get wolves in other older biomes too to keep the threat up in later progress (by the time you can get wolves raid, you're probably not any LESS prepared for the raid in a lower level biome)--that does explain though why it's NOT more common, because being able to spawn in even more biomes and when you're NOT near base would probably make it super common, maybe the most often encountered

[azure yacht]

Why haven't they made it? Bad devs clearly

[merry pebble]

its a shame no one posted link to it few messages ago

[vocal rivet]

Technically they didn't.

[sharp bluff]

they are nasty enough in the plains...

[trail pelican]

lol, they're nasty to the unprepared period, to be sure--the one silver lining of plains is maybe the damn deathsquitos will have something else to harass for once

[sharp bluff]

in the swamp that raid would be a nightmare

[nocturne wolf]

I had a wolf raid near a fuling camp, which made it a lot easier

[sharp bluff]

mine was on a tar pit...

[hazy viper]

The loxes can help quite a bit, too.

[trail pelican]

honestly, swamp would be pretty easy because you could just hop up on a tree or other obstacle the wolves won't pathfind up nearly as easily, and between the water and leeches you could probably use the terrain to your advantage quite effectively

[stray island]

if everyone just went to the wiki then there would be no need for a discussion or help chat in the discord. why hang out in these channels if ur just gonna get upset that ppl are asking questions xd

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely true. The Wiki can't answer every question.

[fair kindle]

the wiki also lacks personal experience or specific guidance

[vocal rivet]

It can't help you troubleshoot either.

Well, not exclusively.

[fair kindle]

also, "just go to the wiki"/"just google it" answers reek of passive agression tbh

[merry pebble]

yep, however, when there is a need to explain a certain mechanic and wiki has it pretty clearly sorted out in a table... why would we not link it

[stray island]

youre the one that i was talking to lol. why just keep telling ppl to go to the wiki when theyre asking questions here. for specific stats and fact checking, sure. but discussion channels are here for a reason lmao

[vocal rivet]

I'd never say just Google it. We're better than that.

[vocal rivet]

Probably because discussion in question WAS about fact checking.

[stray island]

"its a shame theres not a website with all this information on it"

[vocal rivet]

Indeed.

Would copy and pasting info from the Wiki be better?

[stray island]

the issue is, the information being given out was correct, and ppl were having a normal conversation. and then youre like passive aggressively telling ppl to just look it up and stop asking questions lmao

[vocal rivet]

I never said stop asking questions. Don't put words into my mouth.

[stray island]

if someone says to fuck off, the words "leave me alone" werent spoken. but the message got across anyway lol

[plush umbra]

Y'all rather than crafting a spear i decided to use flint knife and this is so fun to use and so useful LOL

[merry pebble]

Yeah it is real fun 😄

[stray island]

the knife is fun, fast attack speed and nice sneak attack damage. only trade off imo that isnt fun is the super low range on it

[merry pebble]

Oh, somebody just boosted the server xD

[plush umbra]

yuh

[plush umbra]

I js slayed the troll cuz of special attack

[plush umbra]

Yeahh i kinda quit a platform that triggered my bpd everytime i entered so i made a decision and quit

[stray island]

?

[plush umbra]

wym by ?

[stray island]

something about triggering your bpd and a platform being related to boosting the server, im just confused

[plush umbra]

I was boosting that server previously so i js decide to boost this one because valheim became addicting

[stray island]

oh

[light drift]

So just got to bronze age and was gonna start doing a bit of farming since I found some carrot seeds and also need some more trees nearby. Any tips or advice to make farming easier and/or look better?

[plush umbra]

Yeahh sorry if i did a little trauma dump 😭

[stray island]

protect your crops with like stone walls/picket fences or something so that mobs dont destroy them, and make a big area so that you can farm everything at a reasonable rate. use the hoe to make a large flat area and then cultivate it. thats my only advice, someone else might have something else beyond that

[fair kindle]

for making it look better: don't worry about having a perfect/most efficient distance between plants, that already can help a lot 😛

putting a fence around your field and an archway over the entrance also is a nice touch ^^

[light drift]

Do mobs actually beat up crops?

[stray island]

they do as far as i know. could be wrong

[summer hinge]

I used to use 1x1 floor tiles to get good spacing. Make a checkered pattern with the tiles, and plant in the middle of the empty spaces

[light drift]

I was thinking of that. Just seemed inefficient, but I guess efficient and pretty don't live together haha

[stray island]

just looked it up, yes they do attack crops

[vocal rivet]

Wow, that must take up a lot of space. Guaranteed to work though, I guess.

[summer hinge]

yeah, takes more time initially, but its a huge pain saver later

[stray island]

if youre wanting to make everything look super uniform then u can do that, but youre missing out on a lot of usable space

[summer hinge]

Guarantees that you dont plant too close on accident and waste crops as a result

[stray island]

every single crop (not including saplings) have a pretty small range that they need to be healthy, u can cramp em up pretty tight and still be fine

[light drift]

I was about to ask how much space they need? Like could you fit 4 in a 1x1 space?

[trail pelican]

i use the mod "FarmGrid"

[rustic plume]

What builds stop monsters spawning nearby? workbenches? Anything else?

[stray island]

ill put a screenshot in #valheim-help

[summer hinge]

ew, mods

[merry pebble]

just wanted to say that xD

[trail pelican]

it makes crops snap to each other and perfectly spaces them out--quality of life mods are nice, the game is MOSTLY perfect, but tweaking a few visuals or making things that are otherwise grindy without changing balance is the way to go IMO

[vocal rivet]

See, this is where I'd point to the Player Base wiki page. But apparently that's passive aggressive.

[trail pelican]

lololololol

[rustic plume]

Anyone? 😦

[light drift]

I figure I could outline a space with tiles and then line each end up for a general layout. Might help look more uniform

[summer hinge]

I know for a fact workbenches do

[vocal rivet]

Anything on this list. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[trail pelican]

campfires, workbenches, anything classified as a "player base" item like @vocal rivet alluded to

campfires are IMO the most efficient, 5 stone, 2 wood, and they don't draw aggro like most other spawnblocking items (unless player is around, then mobs will attack any nearby structure if they can't reach the player)

[rustic plume]

Thanks

[rustic plume]

Even if they're not lit?

[trail pelican]

even then

[summer hinge]

And as for my aversion to mods, It's a combo of me having played the game since the Elder was the first boss, and my idea that it's just doesn't seem right to mod a game that is pre-1.0

nothing against people who do use them tho

I remember the stone pickaxe lol

[wooden totem]

Gaming is about enjoying the game you play, be it custom or vanilla, as long as you're having fun that is what is important.

[trail pelican]

you really don't even need them, the game is that good, I just find some small touches like that reduce time I spend on boring things I prefer to make as efficient as possible

[stray island]

ye i dont use most mods unless ive played a game for a while and its gotten repetitive without them, but qol mods are always welcome imo. unless youre playing with a group then i play modless all the way

[trail pelican]

like mine are all minor enough and client-side, I've been able to join servers no problem without a conflict

[summer hinge]

and that's totally fair. just as long as you aren't one of those folks who blame the game Devs for broken mods after an update lol

[trail pelican]

how dare they change things in an unfinished game

[stray island]

having just one more person playing with you rather than solo cuts off like upwards of 50% of time, if not more, spent on moving/collecting resources and building structures so if youre playing solo then qol mods feel very nice

[summer hinge]

I usually like to play as a group of 3, so myself with 2 friends. I find that to be the perfect balance

[stray island]

i wish my friends would play, theyre too busy playing other games that they recently found lol

[summer hinge]

ooof

I feel that

[stray island]

one friend was gonna get on last night and play and help tame wolves and shit but then i ended up going to bed early cause gf had a bad day lmao

[summer hinge]

Thankfully I have a couple of IRL friends who play with me regularly. I host a server for us on my mini-pc server, so any of us can hop on at any time. We've all agreed to only fight bosses when we're all online tho.

[stray island]

i live in wyoming, the only ppl i know irl other than my gf, and my brother that only plays apex, are crackheads lol

[summer hinge]

yikes

[stray island]

bunch of crack/meth heads and mine workers that are sleeping if theyre not at work

[summer hinge]

I'm off in Oregon, in the Willamette Valley area. Out of the big cities, but not middle of nowhere. It's a nice place all things considered

[stray island]

ye

[trail pelican]

fam is from there--can vouch, a beautiful place with beautiful people

[summer hinge]

indeed

biggest downside is our winters. they're very wet.

snow? what's that?

[royal tendon]

Do my tamed mobs gain love points together if im not near them?

[summer hinge]

either we get 1-2 days with snow, or 4 feet of snow in a week. depends on the year

[trail pelican]

@royal tendon i think you have to be close enough to have the area loaded, like 64m at of you at lesat

[summer hinge]

@vocal rivet is there a spot on the wiki that has something about this?

[trail pelican]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Breeding

[summer hinge]

aha

[trail pelican]

"The area is active (any player within ~64 meters, exact distance depends on the underlying zone system)."

[royal tendon]

I heard the cub will be born as soon as i re enter the area, even if away for a whilr

[vocal rivet]

Should be. Perhaps it needs to be more explicit, I don't know.

[summer hinge]

I haven't dealt with breeding tamed animals in a while, so I'm clueless on this topic lol

[stray island]

only something that i see 7/12 months here

[trail pelican]

the passage of time for certain mechanics does seem odd--like sleeping for instance skipping ahead in time to sunrise does seem to progress any ongoing smelting process (I assume the same amount as time skipped to get to next sunrise, but I haven't checked the specifics that closely), but to the best of my knowledge it WON'T add an equal amount of time to taming timer even if they were just fed when you sleep, it just makes them hungry again

[keen cliff]

sleeping will mess up the taming counter

[royal tendon]

Yeah, i thought so, but i was talking about breeding

[keen cliff]

i think mobs tame in chunks, so you'll lose progress on that chunk

[plush umbra]

basically all timers in the game remember the time they started and then calculate on demand how much time has passed since then, which means skipping time through sleep and stuff will work accurately, even if the area wasn't loaded in.
taming is the one exception, since it relies on other factors beyond just being a timer

[keen cliff]

egg hatching ignores sleeping, if i recall. it's realt ime for both hatching and growing to adulthood.

[plush umbra]

would make sense since egg hatching also requires heat

[keen cliff]

i spent a lot of time hatching/growing asksvin, and set timers on my phone a bunch

[plush umbra]

if something's more than a flat timer, it tends to work differently

[keen cliff]

30 minutes to hatch with heat, 50 minutes to grow to adulthood. but you don't need to be present. just check-in at each point

[stray island]

and your boss buff timer 😭

[keen cliff]

the mechanics are interesting on that, yeah

[plush umbra]

true, timers on a player also don't adhere to this 😅 (includes all buffs iirc)

[stray island]

also health regen

health regen is per tick but for some reason doesnt heal u while u sleep

[trail pelican]

I think some things use separate timers (like the player stat stuff, hence why it doesn't restore as many ticks as you'd expect--probs generally, back to 100%--from as much time passes during sleep) but for a lot of stuff it just does shat @plush umbra says, next time timer is relevant (i.e. next time you're in the area) it takes the initial time and then subtracts that from the current 'global' (the actual 'time of day' and number of days passed in game) to figure out how much time has passed and then applies effects accordingly

like I've noticed if it replant a whole field of crops, leave, then come back some number of in game days later, the field will look the same as I left it (just freshly planted), wait a few seconds after I step through portal, then the whole field at once will 'pop' to its final fully grown state

[hazy viper]

I didn't see this corrected. Sleeping will absolutely advance smelting by the amount of time skipped by sleeping. Sleep close to your smelter and you'll hear it speed up.

[keen cliff]

he said it "does". so you didn't correct him, you just stated the same thing

[hazy viper]

Oops, sorry. Misread the "does".

[trail pelican]

yeah some things it progresses, and others it doesn't, in the way you'd expect if everything followed the same 'global' timer that was accelerated by sleeping--smelting definitely is one of those things that 'jumps' in progress from sleeping (i.e. seems is tied to that 'global' timer for its progress) but some things seem like they're not, like taming progress

breeding love points seems like another, at least based upon wiki, you need a player close enough to actively load the area the tames are in

[keen cliff]

yes, love points require a player nearby

they happen pretty quickly i've noticed, however. even just "normal" amount of main base loitering pumps out eggs/babies pretty fast

[hazy viper]

In the vein, anyone know if sleeping advances crop age?

[keen cliff]

hmm

i always assumed it did, but honestly i don't know for sure

[merry pebble]

yep it does speed it up

[forest mulch]

why is it hard to find someone to play with

[vocal rivet]

Most people play solo or with friends.

[trail pelican]

all the damn time we gotta spend in labor to just maintain an ostensibly basic human existence, probably @forest mulch jokes aside, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 if you haven't already found it, I found a server with cool people in less than 24 hours, I think that's a good place to find a server or one or a few people to start one with

[wooden totem]

I'm pretty hesitant to join someone I dont know, too easy for someone to just come in and ruin your world, and probably how others feel about just inviting any random person.

[cobalt canyon]

The ARK factor

[trail pelican]

yeah I wouldn't get TOO attached to any builds on a world I cannot save a copy of myself

[wooden totem]

Although I can see both arguments to mod use, the limits with using them in cross platform games (though that also just requires something like mod.io added to the game) I am thankful they exist. Servers are able to protect their users far easier, Azu's Anticheat, Server Characters, and Betterwards allow many servers to invite anyone without risk of the bad eggs.

The other option is just trusting people or inviting those you trust.

[light drift]

Black Forest has a sign that says you will die if you come in here too early but is there a location that physically locks you out of going there before you beat a certain boss

[merry pebble]

crypts in swamps,you can get there only by a glitch before killing elder

[plush umbra]

Hey guys any tips to make vertical storage rooms?

i can't send screenshots but i wanna show what im doing rn

[light drift]

But you can go to the swamp itself right

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots

[merry pebble]

yep

[trail pelican]

@light drift yes, you're not TECHNICALLY hard locked from any of the biomes, though it can be effectively close--and going into even the 'next' biome is typically challenging, practically suicide any later ones

[plush umbra]

I sent it any tips for making a storage?

[light drift]

boots up new world
GIVE ME THE ASHLANDS

[trail pelican]

honestly you can stack just the regular wooden chests 4 high and be able to reach from the ground floor, and thus you can fit all the storage you'll really need for the early even into mid game, with just basic wood chests, in a pretty small footprint, all just on one floor, if you're space-efficient

[nocturne wolf]

You might want to consider changing the wood doors for gates so there isn’t a beam of wood between them

[plush umbra]

i know but like idk

[keen cliff]

you can overlap wooden chests a lot. then put some 1x1 ontop, and do another row. and then another row

[nocturne wolf]

You could rotate chests sideways to fit more next to each other, although you’ll have less room to add signs.

[plush umbra]

ill try to do it seems confusing 😭

[keen cliff]

here's an ugly version, that shows what i mean: #screenshots message

[plush umbra]

appreciated

[keen cliff]

i have... a lot of chests in my kitchen room

[nocturne wolf]

Make some black metal chests

[sharp bluff]

chests in the kitchen can be lowered to floor level

[keen cliff]

i have 3 or 4 black metal chests in the floor

4 i think. but i have lots of ingredients before i felt like using black metal for chests

[sharp bluff]

i tend to control the amount of reserves i have
i dont need a 4th stack of mage caps etc

[keen cliff]

i'm not happy unless i have close to 20 stacks of anything. i have a problem

things i can grow is easy. i only have a couple stacks of fiddleheads for example, and i hate it

[sharp bluff]

i mean, i also tend to have 1-2 stacks of every dish of the current progression tier...

[keen cliff]

i don't know why i have 30 stacks of boar meat. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW

[sharp bluff]

thats down to 2...

[keen cliff]

with farming i just would keep replanting constantly. so i built up 30+ stacks of anything i can farm. i've calmed down a bit

[sharp bluff]

yeah... i dont hoard like that

[keen cliff]

i do get enjoyment from farms. but yeah, it's not necessary

[trail pelican]

that's how I know when it's time to switch--when navigating around and retrieving stuff from the boxes starts being inconvenient

[keen cliff]

i need to go get more black metal actually. it's on my todo list.

i finally made some flametal armor and thundering weapons last night. i've been mage only in ashlands, but i'll go try out that gear in the plains next time i think

[valid python]

So I'm super hyped for 'The Spill' Tomorrow!

[vocal rivet]

Hm?

[valid python]

Coffee Stain is doing what is essentially a mini-E3 with all thier develoupers

[vocal rivet]

Ah, very good.

[valid python]

News on Valheim, Goat sim, Sato--factor-Re

[frigid gust]

Just spend a night or two in the Plains, it's crazy quick to get stacks of it. Especially if you're in Ashlands gear.

[keen cliff]

i have a portal at the sealed tower, which i never did the top couple floors. and it's near a village. i'll see how much i get from that first, but yeah, good idea

[trail pelican]

the villages also tend to have an extra stack ofr two in the chests

[tacit crystal]

Raiding fuling villages never gets old, no matter how far you have progressed.

[keen cliff]

it's funny that i think the root harnesk is still better than flametal breastplate in the plains

[tawny whale]

what boss comes after moder?

[tacit crystal]

[tacit crystal]

Yes

[tawny whale]

can i join someone?

[woven dawn]

yes

[elfin atlas]

Mistlands mobs are aids, maybe I have treated the Plains too harshly haha

Any tips on how to maneuver the infested mines?

gear wise too

[cobalt canyon]

Don't fall in.

[light moat]

Maneuver slow, always know the way out in case you need to sprint away

[elfin atlas]

what about food. 2 hp and 1 stamina?

[light moat]

That’s my go to, yeah

[elfin atlas]

Because I find myself face tanking a lot of hits

[light moat]

Make some lingering stamina mead, it’s really useful!

If you see a starred soldier, don’t be afraid to take some time and cheese it with arrows 😅

[cobalt canyon]

I couldn't tell you. I play a lil' twisted version, v-hard combat w/ epic loot mod.

[elfin atlas]

Yeah i'm out of arrows gonna have to farm hella feathers

[light moat]

Do you have chickens yet? Farm them for a while, you’ll get valuable meat and feathers!

[hazy viper]

Something it took me a while to catch onto: ooze bombs. Soften up or kill the ticks and seekers behind the barriers before you break them open.

[wary shore]

How good is the demolisher for dealing with infested mines? I didnt build it on my first playthrough because i didnt feel like getting 200000 iron but on my next playthrough i'm going to suck every crypt dry

I'm also wondering what item is the best for Gjall hunting

[elfin atlas]

1 egg is 1500 coins, I got some farming to do

[wary shore]

there's an egg in the sealed tower, or the Hildir plains boss, dont let that cheapskate scam you

[nocturne wolf]

I usually have thousands of spare coins by that time

[wary shore]

From killing fuhlings or what? I seem to struggle with money management in valheim lol

[nocturne wolf]

Burial chambers and sunken crypts, if you take all the shinies you can get a decent amount.

[wary shore]

huh i usually do but i guess im missing half of my rubies and shit because my first world is so disorganized lol

[hazy viper]

There are also large amounts in the infested mines, so after one or two you may have enough.

[elfin atlas]

I feel like the sealed tower would be hard at this stage

[nocturne wolf]

Sealed towers are balanced for plains-tier equipment and food

[wary shore]

what's your gear at? Are you at plains level?

[elfin atlas]

Yeah I'm

[wary shore]

that's when I did the sealed tower for the first time, and yes it is hard but as long as you have barley wine and potions you should be okay. I did fine though I did die once or twice because I got cocky lol

i have that problem i am too cocky for my own good

[keen cliff]

lol okay, big brothering fulings with ashlands gear is fun. and now i've got plenty of black metal

[light drift]

Just got fired, so it's time to viking some unfortunate souls

[light drift]

I feel like I absolutely have to make a chest for every individual item. You try to mix stuff of similar taste and you immediately run out

I've seen people with what looked like stacked chests? Were they hanging in walls? I don't understand

[merry pebble]

you put one chest, then put floor conected to the wall just above it and put another chest on it 🙂 rinse and repete

[desert tangle]

how far do greydwarfs chase damn i must of ran 5 miles and they were still on me lol

[rotund parrot]

They will even swim after you when you reach the end of the land

[light drift]

They follow forever 😭I feel you. The swarms!

Everything is so heavy 💀

[fair kindle]

i always end up making some shelves that way, haha

[keen cliff]

every mob gives up when they can't make an attack after a certain amount of time. because greydwarfs will also throw rocks, they tend to be able to keep on you longer

[merry pebble]

Yeah i usually settle only on 2 lines, one on the floor and one above it 🙂

[keen cliff]

i end up with 4 levels of chests lol. but i have a problem

[fair kindle]

i generally end up with 3, it depends on how high the ceiling is xD

[merry pebble]

Well when someone makes a chest for every item Its not really suprising xD

[keen cliff]

you mean i don't need 3 chests of dandilions?! that's crazy talk. you expect me to feed my chickens seeds? I only have 2 chests of each seed, that i'm not even planting

don't get me started on the 3 chests of eggs and 3 chests of chicken meat.

so i don't know why i'm feeding my chickens anyways

[near furnace]

I think dandilions are good to keep around 🤔

[light moat]

3 chests is an insane amount of dandelions 😂 even the smallest chest

[keen cliff]

i felt vindicated when i discovered that skeleton trophies were useful for making dead raiser. I was like: HAH! I KNEW there was a reason i kept all these

the only reason i have 3 chests of dandelions is because of the grey dwarf farm

[light moat]

Ahhh that makes sense! Nearly 800 hours in, and I’ve never made a greydwarf farm haha

[keen cliff]

i made it to farm blood magic, but the eyes, wood, and stone were a nice perk

oh, that reminds me. now that i have Fader's power I can pick up more of that crap in one go now lol

[glad schooner]

[odd helm]

There's a few doors that can be put together for a 2 wide door, but both halves open independently

[light drift]

Damn. I put two wooden together, so it's whatevee

[foggy glacier]

ok, even during the day, ashlands thunderstorms are terrifying. I can't see spit.

[foggy glacier]

you can put two wooden gates or darkwood doors together to open to opposite sides, but you still need to open each separately.

[sleek steppe]

Does anybody have any idea what the new swamp hut update is going to have?

[hot bolt]

What is the mace weapon for silver tier?

[livid zenith]

Frostner. Although it deals very low blunt damage, it scales with the clubs skill, has the mace secondary, and has a lot of knockback

[hot bolt]

oh seems I need some flesh to discover the recipe

thanks

[light moat]

Ashlands ||just defeated Fader! Full Flametal gear, Dyrnwyn and standard shield. Took about 30 minutes, no deaths 🎉||

[rose venture]

is dyrnwyn good against him??? thought it would suck bc of his fire resistance

[livid zenith]

No it’s pretty bad, regular sword or mace with ||lightning infusion|| deal more damage per hit on average, and other options aren’t direct comparisons, but they are better

But dyrnwyn and full armor looks cool and is thematic

[light moat]

Oh absolutely, I used Dyrnwyn 100% for the coolness factor lol… if I had used a lightning sword or lightning axes, I think I could’ve trimmed the time down to like 15-20 minutes.

I used Frostner to kill the frost dragon, I used Dyrnwyn to kill the fire dragon 😅 my two favorite weapons in the game, no doubt.

[light moat]

Curious, for those who have defeated the 7th boss, how was your experience?

[last pebble]

[tacit crystal]

Dyrnwyn has only 10 additional fire damage so basically it works like a bit better regular Nidhögg against him.

[light drift]

Easiest fire damage to use against elder? That's pre magic, so I'm assuming just light him up with fire arrows

[light moat]

Fire arrows are solid 👍

[tacit crystal]

Primal Berserkir Axes are my goto against him.

[polar owl]

build some fire pits around the arena and run around works too

#news 1.0 means it's not going to be early access anymore?

[round wigeon]

lol must be a joke. Like some things!

[grand wagon]

Wym

[pliant hatch]

It doesn't say 1.0, it says 1.0 ?

So it may tell us something about 1.0, but I doubt it's about the release, as we still haven't seen anything of Deep North yet.

So my guess is that it's just to inform us what 1.0 might have and how long it might take before we get the 1.0 release.

[grand wagon]

Ah

True

[pliant hatch]

We can of course speculate a lot about what is means and what is going to happen, but in about 3 hours we will know for sure.

Speculating can be done at the stock market and even there it isn't always a good idea.
So I doubt it's a good idea to speculate over here as well.

Let's all get some speculaas going, maybe with some tea or coffee for the ones that prefer that.

[round wigeon]

The only thing I want devs to do is to fix performance in this game. I don't care about new updates

[grand wagon]

I would have wanted a little more content in mistlands

Sure, good systems but creativity was a little down there from what I witnessed except for I guess the giant skeletons and weapons.

[opal prairie]

Mistlands has the most content out of all the biomes in my opinion.
Best fishes, all the magic stuff that becomes available, pretty intense dungeons, ...

[grand wagon]

Okay, true. Fishes though?

And the dungeons

Well, dungeons aren't really all that much in any biome

[tacit crystal]

The only fish that is required to a specific food is Anglerfish.

[grand wagon]

Yeah

[round wigeon]

Nice. You want content and its ok. The thing is that a building system is available in the game. If you want to make even a small base FPS drops to the ground (and forget about having animals and crops in the same spot). We need to have a fix for this, whatever the cost.

[opal prairie]

The first fishes that give something else than generic fish meat.
Anglerfish for the best stamina food in game up to that point and the pufferfish for poisoning dvergr without them getting mad at you or to use in auto breeder / slaughter set ups or for tossing it on the ground where hares are frequently found for easy hare meat.

True but the mistland dungeons are more extensive and can have secret rooms that previous dungeons didn't have.

[vernal tendon]

Any idea if the game will ever be ported to console ?

[opal prairie]

It is available on xbox but there is no idea if it will ever come to other consoles, that is something we'll find out in the future.

[delicate marlin]

Valheim 2 announcement here we go

[coarse jackal]

is the abyssal knife worth it or should i save up for the harpoon

[nocturne wolf]

The knife is a good weapon but the harpoon will help if you want a serpent scale shield

[pliant hatch]

I'd say, do the harpoon first and the knife later.
Unless you prefer to use knifes to fight with in the first place. In that case, the other way around.

Eventually you will run into enough Leviathans to craft both anyway.

[opal prairie]

I would start with the abyssal razor it is a good weapon but will lose its effectiveness around the mountains when you can make a silver dagger.
The harpoon stays relevant till mistlands for the serpent meat.

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent meat doesn’t sink, you don’t need a harpoon for it.

[opal prairie]

True, still the harpoon will be useful later on in the game more than the abyssal razor will be, dragging tames around, dragging mobs around, dragging serpents or bonemaws to shore.

[foggy glacier]

I hardly used my harpoon. I’d usually just beach my boat and kite the serpent into a shallow spot

[fallen zephyr]

My favourite serpent strategy is to get its health below 'one shot' and then let it get as close to the boat as possible. Then jump from the boat with your bow drawn and kill it on the fall. More often than not, I'll be able collect the scales/trophies as I fire the killing blow.

[opal prairie]

Solo I do the same but with a dagger.

[fallen zephyr]

Very Hollywood! 😄

[elfin atlas]

Thoughts on the "Krom" weapon is it worth the investment and if not what's a good early weapon in the mistlands, I just unlocked the black forge

[trail pelican]

I dunno if it's meta optimal technically, but it's a helluva lotta fun, hits hard, relatively cheap to because while it's decent #s of mats, it's iirc all older metals (think a mix of iron & bronze)

[nocturne wolf]

It’s good, I used it in my first playthrough and was very happy with it

[trail pelican]

and scale hide from the hares; a lotta people like Krom, just gotta get familiar with the timing because obvis can't have a shield and the swings are slower

[elfin atlas]

I'm considering it because I like two handed weapons and I wanna change up the style of fighting. one handed sword and shield is getting boring

[unreal viper]

Can someone tell me what "the spill is"?

[tacit crystal]

Two handed swords are fun to use. Their secondary attack hits hard.

[nocturne wolf]

I can’t watch it right now but it seems to have information about the future of games developed or published by Coffee Stain such as Valheim and Satisfactory

[unreal viper]

Thank you

[jagged quartz]

Is there a way to turn the sailing 'hud' off?

[halcyon palm]

are the one star and two star wolves still despawning while taming?

[prime fjord]

My notes from the spill live stream. (1st part) for those who are interested
||- new NPC

• feasts
• more skills
• prep tables
• new crafting table
• scythe
• deep north is in production
• quality of life||

[halcyon palm]

I hope the deep north is nothing like the mountain biome. By far my least favourite biome

[tacit crystal]

No, once they start the taming process they don't despawn, but it needs to start before the dawn.

[low vine]

Hope all were watching the spill interview

[prime fjord]

it will be most likely be the best since it will be the last landmas in the game, maybe some lore endings or more lore

[low vine]

A scythe is coming to the game for farming!!!

[nocturne wolf]

People are going to keep it in their inventory at all times and complain that their inventory is too small

[outer swallow]

Potions gonna come out

[fallen zephyr]

Why? We have atgeirs.

[halcyon palm]

well to be fair, a separate inventory for armour would make sense. Like you don't put the clothes you're wearing at the moment in your rucksack are you?

[prime fjord]

too many tools / too lazy to keep them in a chest

[low vine]

@fallen zephyr it's for all crops. So you don't have to click individually

[fallen zephyr]

Ah, that's a little different. I'd prefer they just give veges better hitboxes, though.

[prime fjord]

all i wanted to hear was the production of the deep north, time to pull out my wolf cape again

[nocturne wolf]

Why have slots for equipment only if those slots could be for everything?

[marsh plover]

Why not have separate slots for somthing you'll have on you all the time?

[fallen zephyr]

Anyone wanting 'armour' slots in inventory wants more slots, not separate slots. C'mon, you know it. 😛

[cobalt canyon]

(there're a half dozen mods for that, yknow)

Both for equipment and "more slots"

[tough nacelle]

[half panther]

anyone got a summary of the spill? didn't really care about any other news besides Valheim

[haughty falcon]

#valheim-chat message

[tough nacelle]

Valheim stuff part 2 just going. More you can see up under spoiler tags.

[faint nebula]

love potions sounds really interesting... who do you use it on??

[hollow sleet]

I wish they would add bears, I would love to have a bearskin cape in the game.

[half panther]

Maybe enemies (like Trolls) to temp turn them friendly?

[nocturne wolf]

Necks, I hope

[haughty falcon]

Tame Passive/Aggressive toggle QoL would be great

Tired of crafting saddles not to see them ever again the moment I put them on crazy frogs

[keen cliff]

HAH! If you level cooking, by cooking, the fact that i have too many chests of low biome ingredients will pay off! My hoarding coming in clutch

[warm sandal]

I am soooooo looking forward to trying all of that out... a few weeks... more waiting 😦

[trail pelican]

I agree, the Asksvin are so damn aggressive lol, then they can run on lava and you can't follow, there definitely needs to be either a way to call them back to you, just make them follow you like wolves, or way to make them not chase, SOMETHIGNM

[wide acorn]

Does anyone know what the lightning elemental damage does? (Using the himminafl)

[keen cliff]

at least it's easy to hatch many asksvin wherever you want. i don't get attached. i just make a lot of them

[fallen zephyr]

I'd prefer to not be dying in Ashlands because I'm playing with my wife and multi-player causes insurmountable lag, but sure, let's level cooking.

[haughty falcon]

"dog" whistle utility item straight from the bog witch

[trail pelican]

i'd like that

[nocturne wolf]

Lightning deals stagger like physical damage

[haughty falcon]

Also agroing every gdwarf in rendering range lol

[wide acorn]

woah alr thanks for the info

[nocturne wolf]

Also I don’t think any enemies are resistant to lightning

[restive linden]

I wasn’t able to watch the video live so I’m curious about feasts and how that works.

I also wasn’t actively playing when Hildir was added to the game, so I’m not sure if a newly added NPC requires a new map/unexplored parts of existing map.

[nocturne wolf]

New content will only generate in unexplored areas

[restive linden]

Okay thanks. I’ll avoid uncovering any more swamps for now then.

[plush umbra]

Guys i found a quality 5 fish on the shore 😭

Sen't it on screenshots.

[nocturne wolf]

You can use an item stand to display it on a wall

[plush umbra]

Will do if i keep the save and not get angy 😊

[trail pelican]

even if you DON'T keep the save, take the fish with you to the next new world

[nocturne wolf]

If you get angy the fish will be there for you

[rotund parrot]

Unlikely, lessons about what plains looks like, how dangerous they are and how it's the 5th biome you should enter have all been learned

[plush umbra]

No actually reason i deleted my first save is i got 1 shotted by a fly cuz i didn't knew if i was on swamp or plains 😭

[rotund parrot]

It was a plain and it was called a deathsquito

The swamp will be brown on the map and you will recognise them from a distance with the trees

[plush umbra]

Yeah but peeps told me swamp had dead tree's so i landed on 1 and got clapped

[rotund parrot]

It is a difficulty jump but nowhere near the jump from forest to plain

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp biome is covered in the giant dead trees. If you aren’t surrounded by those trees, it’s not a swamp.

[rotund parrot]

Having made poison resist before you enter them is recommended

[plush umbra]

Yeah it was by a accident and i play this game mostly blind

[keen cliff]

the first time you get to a new biome is pops it up on your screen all big. if you've been there before, it doesn't do that, but you should actually recognize it afterwards

[celest fractal]

what biome is it ur struggling with

[keen cliff]

does playing the game mostly blind mean you don't pay attention to anything you see in the game also?

[celest fractal]

woah XD

[plush umbra]

No mostly blind means without looking up videos

or any info abt the game 😮‍💨

[celest fractal]

blind means you actually play without ur monitor turned on
