I disagree with multiple things on it.

I wouldn't trust anything on Reddit.

[desert tangle]

||Yes||

[barren iron]

wanna find the new bog witch???

[gray sand]

Public test stuff goes in the public test channels.

[wise latch]

I wonder if they would ever be able to change the game where underground bases and cave digging could be a thing

That would end up being a hell of an overhaul though, possibly a performance nightmare

[vocal rivet]

Never happening.

[gray sand]

Yeah.. no.

[wise latch]

Shame

[gray sand]

Also no.

[wise latch]

Okay

[drowsy magnet]

you can already make underground bases in locations with many big boulders and just start tunneling ⛏️

[silent solstice]

Thank you

[frozen fable]

Yagluth is down, time to find some Mistlands, now the real fun begins

[gray sand]

Real fun is going to Mistlands pre-Yagluth 😛

[queen sandal]

I've never fought Moder before, what should I be using to beat her?

[agile hawk]

probably fire arrows

that is what i use

and have a good sword

but stay away from moder for most of the fight

like long range

[queen sandal]

alright, thanks!

[agile hawk]

yep

i havent pplayed in a bit tho so if you have trouble just say something

[livid zenith]

High leveled draugr fang for when she flies, poison arrows deal most damage if they do the full tick before the next arrival hit, followed by obsidian or silver dealing 26 less damage, then fire dealing 8 less damage.

[jagged wind]

also building some things to hide behind can be useful

[agile hawk]

but dont use frost (obviously) or spirit because she is immune to those

[livid zenith]

You can dig a hole beneath the altar and it’s almost entirely safe

[agile hawk]

yes

what are all of the voice channels for?

[livid zenith]

Silver sword is the best weapon, but any silver melee aside from frostner is good

[livid zenith]

IDK, I barely see people using them

[queen sandal]

frostner not good?

[agile hawk]

its a frost weapon so moder is immune

but for small enemies its pretty good

[queen sandal]

oh right, makes sense

[livid zenith]

Frostner is very good, but specifically for Moder it deals very low damage (because frost)

[queen sandal]

gotcha

[agile hawk]

@queen sandal join the odins greathall chat as well as @queen sandal

as well as @livid zenith

if u can

[livid zenith]

I cannot

[agile hawk]

just to talk

oh ok

[queen sandal]

I can't rn, sorry

[agile hawk]

its all good

im just bored

have any of you defeated the ashlands boss yet?

[livid zenith]

I have

[agile hawk]

is it fun

[livid zenith]

He has a lot of health so it takes a while, but the attacks are fun to play around and the visuals are great

[agile hawk]

nice

[livid zenith]

Overall Ashlands boss is my favorite boss

[agile hawk]

nice

he sounds great

[frozen fable]

have a fully upgraded silver shield and silver sword and use bonemass power when she lands for the first time and start slashing her, make sure she is on flat ground if possible if you go in and melee, just block her attacks and swing at her after she swings at you and you block it

use poison arrows that you got from the swamp if you still have those otherwise, obsidian arrows are good and easy to craft

[agile hawk]

nice

that is really good advice. much better than mine 🙂

[smoky quarry]

if you can find one of those invincible rune stones around, you can use it as cover against his ice attacks

[atomic edge]

for these last two bosses (the first two) ive almost always used a bow and never went head on

[frozen fable]

i used to use the bow on Moder until I learned how to parry her attacks with a fully upgraded silver shield, also make sure you use frost mead so she doesn't deal as much damage to you when she breathes or uses the ice attack

[agile hawk]

what is the best approach to the elder fight?

[agile hawk]

wait you can find those around moder?!

[smoky quarry]

ideally like this #screenshots message

[marble delta]

why do my stupid fucking chickens always converge on one corner of the coop?

[north marsh]

@rotund bloom @atomic edge and others yall ready for some valheim?

[atomic edge]

i might join later tonight, right now i have my own stuff to do in my world

It's too late for me bro I'm going to bed

[north marsh]

aight lol maybe another day. I’m gonna play some doom 64

[light drift]

Does the third boat go faster?

The karve just feels slow over extreme distance.

[rain flare]

Each boat is faster than the last one

Karve is a small fishing boat

[gray sand]

Reminder there is a #1024264966712340510 channel 🤷‍♂️

[gray sand]

Faster in what direction?

Each boat has a higher top forward speed than the previous, but has worse turning speed.

[light drift]

Just forward. My swamp/iron source is extremely far from my current main base, so it's just aggravating getting back

Is there a list somewhere that shows you all recent recipe unlocks? I get to the point of not noticing what I've unlocked

[past dawn]

why the hell did they make a main building resource have to come from the most pain in the ass mob and making a "farm" even more annoying. like im gonna be in ashlands building with thatch rooves lmao

[light drift]

?

[gray sand]

"Main building resource" -- Wood. Which comes from trees. 👍

[light drift]

What mob did he mean? He talking about dwarves?

[gray sand]

No idea.

I cannot think of a "main" source that comes from mobs.

Wood - trees.
Stone - rocks.
Marble - bones.

[past dawn]

TAR

[light drift]

Diving would be a cool skill associated with swimming. Grab stuff from underwater. And sunken crypts would have a use for those watter logged dead ends

[gray sand]

You get like 100+ tar from a single pit.
The mobs are not the source.

[past dawn]

????? how do u get it from the pits? i thought it was just from growths?

[gray sand]

Drain the pit.

[past dawn]

im gonna go try that. thanks

[light drift]

That's interesting. They actually make you move the tar elsewhere to get the nodes

[vital umbra]

hi ppl

[light drift]

Is there a way to get the guck sacs that are way up on the trees?

[vital umbra]

build with stairs

ehhh i mean the wood ""ladders""

[light drift]

Didn't know if that was the only way

[light drift]

Also there's literal houses mostly underwater in swamp. I wanna go in without just cutting up their roof

[vital umbra]

not a ton of valuables last i remember

[novel delta]

looking to start fresh on a server dm me if interested on joining im looking to play with some people. no mods. normal valheim

[light drift]

WHY IS THE SWAMP TREE ALIVE

AAAAA

[vital umbra]

use axe and fire

dodge much-ly

[light drift]

Yea. I've learned it can attack downwards

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[past dawn]

anyone know if there is a command or mod to remove fog? like im so sick of not seeing shit in the plains, might aswell be in the mistlands

[gray sand]

It's the weather, it's not a removable object the way the Mist is.

[past dawn]

damn

[gray sand]

Also how dare you besmirch my favorite biome.

[past dawn]

bro the plains is easily top 2. i just hate not being able to see it

[gray sand]

Weather changes. 🤷‍♂️

[vital umbra]

The slider for resource drops is.....interesting....

i now have 440 carrot seeds

[light drift]

Nah! This tree mother fucker is walking the ocean floor to follow my boat!

[vital umbra]

you love to see it, mobs like to do that.

[atomic edge]

WHY IS THE SWAMP SO SCARY I HIT AN ABOMINATION AND IT DID NO DAMAGE HOW TF DO I EVEN FIND IRON HELP ME

[gray sand]

Iron is in the crypts.

[atomic edge]

yea ok well how do i kill these FUCKING ABOMINATIONS

[vital umbra]

fire or axes

[plush umbra]

(any slash weapon will do, so swords are ever so slightly better, but you're likely to already have an axe by then for progression reasons so making a sword just for them could be considered a waste for how small the benefit is.)

[light drift]

Hey that just happened to me!!!

I really ain't ashamed to say I cheated once in this game (first and only playthrough so far) and that's because I died on an island FAR away and didn't have materials for another boat. The hike alone after landfall woulda been like 10 minutes.

[vital umbra]

i am going to eat my elbow if i see "the forest is moving" one more time...

[drowsy magnet]

you can't even lick your elbow

[vocal rivet]

Env Clear to clear weather.

[tacit crystal]

Melee for me, his stomp attacks are slow so they are easy to dodge/parry, any weapon type suffice. Staying at melee range prevents from him using the ranged attack. Just move a bit when he summons his roots.
Bow and Fire arrows also valid option, you can take cover from the pillars at altar when he uses the ranged attack.

[stiff minnow]

playing with spear feels so useless. if there a weapon that comes as bad it is the spear, has the rage of fists, cant hit targets down for example pile of corpses that are flat on the ground. 3/10 weapon

[warm sandal]

I do play with the spear all the time unless the target enemie is resistant to it's damage type. I is a matter of strategically placing yourself while fighting, never had trouble to make it work. And it's a quick weapon, and uses not that much stamina...so i prefere it over any of the more cluncky weapons. I am still miffed there is no plains spear though 😦

but then I do also love me those fleshrippers and use them a lot and have both spear and fist (and also knifes) skills on a somewhat high level 😄

[stiff minnow]

it is a trash weapon...

[warm sandal]

I beg to differ it is a fantastic weapon and i just yesterday recorded my fight with moder for my channel using just bonfires and my spear and buckler to kill her

and i did so without loosing skill points i gotta point out

[stiff minnow]

Im not talking about dmg, Im talking about how clunky it is, bad range unless I throw it and for some reason if enemy is near a wall, or structure it hits more toward the structure.

[warm sandal]

You have to be in the right place to use it that is true. It is not a "hit how ever you wish and anything falls dead"-Weapon, granted... but it still is a fantastic weapon once you get used to how it actually works.

[drowsy magnet]

trash but OP DPS

[warm sandal]

I do hate if any ole weapon is named trash... they all are good weapons they have specific skills attached to them you gotta learn, if one weapon does not suit your playstyle just leave it by the wayside and use another. but do not call it trash. One persons garbage might be another persons treasure.

[stiff minnow]

it is the cheapest to make, now it makes sense

[warm sandal]

I am not a big fan of the crystal battleaxe - it does not suit my playstyle but it is not trash

[halcyon ravine]

atgeir is a better spear imo

[past hill]

besekir axes are the best

[warm sandal]

atgeir is no spear it is a polearm... it is a great weapon but i usually do not use it before i get to the plains

[drowsy magnet]

I think atgeir is ||trash|| also

[vital umbra]

why isn't polearm and spear skill the same...just "polearm"

[halcyon ravine]

yeah buy it has the range you'd expect from a spear

[warm sandal]

because a spear is no polearme... polearms are not meaant to be thrown spears are

[drowsy magnet]

I never crafted atgeir once 😂

[warm sandal]

I do...because they are great to get some breathing room if there are to many mobs around... but i do not need it before i get to Mistland so the first atgeir i make is the blackmetal one 😄

[halcyon ravine]

when I first played it was my main weapon

nothing cannot be done with a blackmetal atgeir and troll hide armor

[stiff minnow]

I hope they rework the spear, it is just clucky, feels like a short stick,
it is one of the cheapest weapons

and throwing is so lame

[warm sandal]

but then again i am the one defeating yagluth in a fenris set with frostner in hand 😄 it is just my playstyle to be more nimble and not tank all the damage... I am of the opinion that the best damage is the one that is not taken 😄

[warm sandal]

I do not want it to change at all... you can use any other old weapon if the spear does not suit 😄

[vital umbra]

irl terms i think everything that is attached to a pole = polearm

[tacit crystal]

Himminafl 💪

[stiff minnow]

the throwing is really so unsatisfying.
they need to rework it, all aspects of the spear is trash

[halcyon ravine]

spear is free damage if they're out of range

[warm sandal]

use a bow then and leave the spear by the wayside you do not have to be fond of every weapon in the game there are heaps to choose from..

[tacit crystal]

Spear is excellent early game weapon, when thrown it is much more accurate than Crude bow, making it better for hunting deer. It falls off a bit mid game but comes back stronger at the current end game, based on my experience. It is great weapon type IMO but it would be much better with longer range.

[warm sandal]

I would not mind it having a bit longer range but can play just fine with it as is. 😄 I do love that spear and use it when ever i can for it's quick attack and the throwing saves so many arrows because if you trained it it is very accurate

[stiff minnow]

it feel way too clucky, unsatisfying to use it, throwing could been done much better. It doesnt let me to throw when I want , once I press to aim it throws it automatically after 1.5 sec. is shit weapon stop

[halcyon ravine]

skill issue

[tacit crystal]

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you don't like it then don't use it. 👍

[warm sandal]

then don't use it get yourself some club and beat everything around the head with it... as i said you do not need to love every weapon but stop dissing it - there are folks who like to use it and your opinion is made apply clear already 😄

[stiff minnow]

no, wrong thing to say, rework the damn weapon, remove this clucky code of it and make it feel like other weapons

[warm sandal]

that is only your opinion...there are other folks that like it just the way it is...

[stiff minnow]

from my friends Im the only one use i

[halcyon ravine]

I suck at it, it must be bad

[stiff minnow]

not my opinion, its true its clunky as hell!!!!

[tacit crystal]

There is suggestion channel for a reason.

[warm sandal]

again i beg to differ... it IS your opinion because i have a different one... don't make opinion appear as fact as it is n ot

[stiff minnow]

playing with 6 other friends, Im the only one using it

[stiff minnow]

it is clunky and that is a fact

[halcyon ravine]

we need to teach people what facts are

[stiff minnow]

I bet it the least weapon used in game

[halcyon ravine]

school system really felloff

[warm sandal]

You know what... i am tired of this... you gonna go on ranting and i am going to go prepare some food and read some japanese story in preparation for my lesson later this day ... a good day to you sir ..

[rain flare]

Fun fact:
in the last speedrun competition that IronGate held (Trials of Tyr or something like that), the winner beat the game ONLY using a spear just cause of how versatile and cheap it is to make/upgrade

Not gonna lie, I don’t like it as much as I used to when starting the game (love my swords and axes 🥰) but that doesn’t make the spear a bad weapon.
Perhaps just a less enjoyable one comparatively

I really just wish the spear had more range to it.

Maybe you could set the spear to have two “modes”.
One for holding it like we do now - basically a javelin mode - or another for holding it like a proper spear for melee combat.

Default mode: javelin
You press and hold the mouse button to aim the spear then let release to throw that bad boy

Mode 2 - phalanx
Your character flips the spear around so that you can stab with it like you do using the Atgir - but you have less range than the atgir’s do

[atomic edge]

is there a way to dive in the water?

because some troll broke my boat while i was in it and the mats sunk

and im somewhere where i cannot get any materials for a new one lol

[fair kindle]

if you jump into the water from a higher point, you'll sink a little deeper 🙂

[atomic edge]

i dont think thats gonna work

cus uh... it sank all the way to the bottom... and i cant even see it...

[fair kindle]

if it went that deep, you unfortunately can't get it

what kind of ship did you have?

[atomic edge]

karve

the distance i was travelling wasnt that far, maybe i can get a lot of food to boost health and swim across

[fair kindle]

what biome are you in? if there is a black forest nearby you might be able to get new hides and bronze to rebuild the ship

[atomic edge]

yeah im in black forest

[pliant hatch]

Most of the materials may actually float. So if you are able to craft a raft you may be able to pick those up.
Any cargo it had would float too; but if that's ore, better leave it, mark it at your map and pick it up with another ship later.

Only the nails would sink to the bottom for certain, meaning you have to craft new ones.

[warm sandal]

what do you try to tell me... i was always stating that it is my opinion and that that guy should not sell his opinion for a fact - i do not understand why I get that snarky remark there... but well...

[azure yacht]

I meant the other guy

[warm sandal]

Oh... allright then 😄 thanks for clarifying 😄

[dapper token]

I bet you're a blast at parties

[wooden tapir]

@plush umbra so does that mean the tallest mountain will always be in the same area of your map?

[plush umbra]

no since it slides around, but it'll always look the same

[wooden tapir]

ohhh ok

[plush umbra]

someone's made a much clearer (and more complete towards the edges) map of it using mods, but i can't remember where i saved that so i just got my old one i stitched together from like a hundred seeds.
since the #1 is incidentally so far north, it's very unlikely to have it in your world at all, and if you do have it, it's likely just below or inside deep north.
#2 and #3 being nearer to the center makes both relatively common

[wooden tapir]

you can have mountains theoretically in the ashlands?

[plush umbra]

you never could, but before the ashlands update, the map would still render ashlands terrain above mountain height as snowy, even though there'd be no snow there if you actually went there

[wooden tapir]

oh ok

[tacit crystal]

They were white like Mountains but still counted as Ashlands biome.

[plush umbra]

yepp

[tacit crystal]

Unlike in Deep North where are actual Mountains biome areas inside.

[plush umbra]

technically every biome would render like that. but outside of this case, you'd never see a non-mountain biome above mountain height on the map

[tacit crystal]

That reminded me, you still want those screenshots you asked some days ago @plush umbra ? I'm able later today.

[wooden tapir]

ok so when you say they shift you mean like more left or right not really to far up and down right? like its unlikely to have #2 tallest in the bottom half of your map right?

[plush umbra]

oooh right!~ yea i'm about to make breakfast, then i should be free~

[plush umbra]

bottom half is still likely, but near the bottom end is very rare, yea!

here's...some seed someone gave me not too long ago to use as an example, i can't remember when that was

[wooden tapir]

and do they all shift realitive to the other mountains as well? like could some mountain shapes actually be higher or lower?

oh, ok that answers my question

[plush umbra]

it's worth noting that swamps and post-update mistlands heavily distort the shores of islands due to how they generate, which is why i tried to erase as many swamps on my map as i could.
(didn't need to do that with mistlands, since i made that map before mistlands got so wobbly-terrained)

[tacit crystal]

Once I'm home I can take some screenshots, you want them by DMs?

[plush umbra]

sure!~ should be open~

[plush umbra]

(oh also imo more importantly: worldgen usually adds a pretty big amount of land to the center of your world, often connecting several islands together.)

[wooden tapir]

my world hilariously missed all 3 LMAO

[plush umbra]

for a moment i was gonna be like "but that mountain looked exactly like #3" but then i realized you're not the person who sent the screenshots that started this topic 😅

[wooden tapir]

no lmao

happens tho, next seed i get one surely (:

[gray sand]

I can't find my map on Winter's map 😭

[plush umbra]

#2 is probably the most interesting one||, suuuper steep southwest side and a dual peak above the clouds||

[wooden tapir]

it was hardge

[plush umbra]

#1 may be the tallest, but its shape is pretty basic, being pretty cone-like

[wooden tapir]

yea im sure ive been on one of them before, i remember one of my playthroughs i had to climb basically a mountain, that was on top of another mountain

to get to moders altar

i remember climbing a cliff, then some flatish mountain biome, then another cliff

[plush umbra]

got a screenie?

[gray sand]

TtBv7EpMi4

[wooden tapir]

how did they highlight their map like this btw? is there a tool?

i found your map

its pretty similar location to mine

you just missed the #2 mountain on the top right of your map

[plush umbra]

(shaved ashlands off because they distort terrain so heavily since they were finished)

[gray sand]

I CAN HAS TOLL MOUNTEEN!!

[plush umbra]

i screenshot the https://valheim-map.world/ result, paste it onto my map, erase the edges and then match it, usually at like 50% opacity, using gimp as a software~

it kinda naturally highlights itself because the map itself is made up of screenshots from back when that site looked...pretty different in its colours.

[wooden tapir]

oh i see

im gonna try that

[wooden tapir]

wait #2 mountain is crazy tall what

[plush umbra]

the top 3 all go above the clouds, but yea, there's a good few meters between #3 and #2

#3 usually just touches them

[wooden tapir]

yea i found a seed with 2 close to spawn, went in debugmode just to go check it out

[plush umbra]

hope it's not too close, spawn doesn't like mountains

[wooden tapir]

it was across an ocean

yea i noticed spawn is kinda weird

it will just fill a spot of land on the map with a landmass, even if nothing is supposed to be there

[plush umbra]

yea, and if a mountain happens to be there, it'll pull it down to just below mountain height to make it meadows or black forest.
but the raised terrain goes a little further than the lowered terrain, so you sometimes have banana-shaped mini mountains surrounding spawn

[wooden tapir]

ah i see, that makes sense

i found a seed with #1 in it, might go check that one out

[plush umbra]

oh yea i have no idea when they did that, but i noticed they added an ocean trench separating deep north from the lower biomes like they did for ashlands.
that could be pretty bad for #1, and make full-height versions of it significantly rarer

...though it also makes me curious about what would happen if #1's peak is right on the middle of the trench. is that part of the trench just unusually thin? does it keep some land by sheer height?

[wooden tapir]

oh i see, ill let you know if it seems taller than #2

i mean the seed i found has it pretty good into deep north, seems like it might be full size (4cCEz4e4rJ)

[plush umbra]

i'm going there to check, going at least by memory, it should be like Y 485 (or near that) on the peak excluding rocks

[wooden tapir]

how do you check coordinates?

[plush umbra]

pos in the console

[wooden tapir]

oh

[plush umbra]

Y 489 on the highest bit of terrain heightmap, yea that seems unharmed by both the world's edge and the trench, phew~
thanks for the quick seed to test it on!~

but the curiosity has grown too strong, imma downgrade the seed viewer version to find a seed with its peak right on the border

[wooden tapir]

lmao good luck!

[plush umbra]

...okay the downgrading doesn't actually change how biomes shape their terrain, so the trench is still there even on the site's depiction of 0.204.4

[wooden tapir]

oh ok, good to know

[tranquil stream]

Why the building is very bad? You cant make à base lol unless its made cheesy

[wooden tapir]

?

[nocturne wolf]

The building seems fine to me, what's wrong with it?

[wooden tapir]

@plush umbra man i had a seed with #1 and #2 on it and accidentally skipped past it without saving it

[tranquil stream]

I started to play today and i cant even snap points

[tranquil stream]

?

[nocturne wolf]

There are buttons you can press to change the build piece's position relative to the cursor, to make snapping easier.

[plush umbra]

my favourite seed has both!
and at least before the ashlands update, both were at their full height.
the ashlands trench shaved a little bit off of #2's southwest peak, northeast peak should be intact.
have not yet checked #1 since i didn't notice the deep north trench until a couple days ago

[tranquil stream]

Ye but it will make the build cheesy thats what i Said

[plush umbra]

kMTq28lMJ8

[tranquil stream]

I cant snap clean

[wooden tapir]

i think i found the perfect one, it had #2 just far enough up that it was out of the ashlands area, but still far enough down that it clipped #1 in the very top corner of deep north

[nocturne wolf]

You might have disabled snapping, are you playing with keyboard or controller?

[tranquil stream]

Controller

[plush umbra]

same here

[wooden tapir]

oh this might be it

[nocturne wolf]

Try lb + pushing the left stick? Or right stick, I forgot.
LB + right stick for build snapping. LB + left stick is auto-pickup.

[plush umbra]

it looks pretty safe to me at a glance

[wooden tapir]

yea

[plush umbra]

but i definitely noticed #2 getting shaved a bit 😅
since it has two peaks, it didn't affect its total height, but i have some cleanup to do on the southwest side

so many floating rocks

[wooden tapir]

also is the rockiness random on the mountains? i feel like the #2 one i saw was so rocky, barely even a mountain was a giant pile of rocks

[plush umbra]

the rock objects are randomly placed, yea

and there's a little bit of randomness to the bumpiness of the terrain heightmap itself as well, hence why mountain heights vary slightly

[wooden tapir]

i see

[plush umbra]

(i ignore the breakable rocks for measuring mountain heights, deleting them with forcedelete 50 x2)

[wooden tapir]

makes sense

[tranquil stream]

Same but this game Block à lot of the building also you cant even build when you are on fondations

[hazy seal]

tbh

[grand wagon]

hello hello

[hazy seal]

if you consider lore, bonemass has they/them pronouns, and not because the monster is non-binary, it's because they're literally a big blob of dead people stitched into one body

[grand wagon]

does that even matter though 😭 🙏🏽

[hazy seal]

probably not

[grand wagon]

hes a goober

and will always be a goober

[wooden tapir]

they even thank you for releasing them if you sit around the tropy for a while

[hazy seal]

ngl, wish there was an option to betray odin in valheim by siding with the forsaken in the last minute, i mean, aside of yagluth, all of the forsaken has/had reasonable wants, and i sure as hell didn't feel like a good guy when summoning and killing moder

you literally murder her children and then her

fader cared for humans until the winter child warped his views

in his trophy if you stay near it long enough he even has regrets about what he has done

[light moat]

How about the Elder?

[hazy seal]

elder used to be peaceful

until humans started deforestation

[tacit crystal]

According to lore greydwarves are soulless and formed from souls of murderers or great sinners, so Elder might be the greatest sinner of them all.

[hazy seal]

nope, elder is 100% tree

he is a piece of yggdrasil

[nocturne wolf]

There's a big stone in the centre of his body, maybe a greydwarf formed with yggdrasil wood instead of normal wood?

[plush umbra]

i like to think abominations are in some way similar, but we only have the trophy's text to go off of

[light moat]

Why do the forsaken send their minions to raid us then?

I think they’re the bad guys 🤔

[merry pebble]

I would say Its because we work for Odin, i don't think they like him very much 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

We want to kill them, so they want to kill us first

[kind pendant]

That makes sense.. they probably already know we’re coming for them, so they’d like to be a step ahead.

[light moat]

In rebuttal to the message above about the betraying Odin haha

[outer swallow]

Goodmorning

[kind pendant]

Sometimes I like to think that in the mistlands, it was more calm at one point or we could’ve seen the giants fighting

[kind pendant]

Goodmorning!

[smoky obsidian]

Do lox get tammed when they're angry ?

[azure yacht]

No, the process pauses

[smoky obsidian]

ty

[hollow wing]

The askvins destroyed my tower in ashlands. Now when I enter the portal I drop to my death

[crystal seal]

Anyone got a group up and wants another person? 😄

[marble delta]

this run is hitting me with a lot of 'where tf is ________!?!'

first it took forever to find a decent swamp biome with enough iron, and now Yagluth is nowhere to be found

[robust delta]

lol

in my world i found a lot of swamps but they were small and didn't have sunken crypts

i managed to find plains first on sailing instead of swamp and yag was close-ish. tbh i got lucky for the most part until it came to swamp and mountains

[warm tusk]

I consider buying either this Valheim game or Aska. What differences do they have? What makes Valheim a better game?

[light moat]

This is going to be biased, because you know, this is the Valheim discord 😂 but Valheim looks waaay better than Aska. In my opinion.

[warm tusk]

I'm chatting on Aska server too, asking the same thing about that game 😉

[light moat]

Nice! Hopefully they can give you some pros and cons of both games. Hope one of them is a good fit for you!

[tribal trench]

I slayed the QUEEN!!!! yessssssss

[warm tusk]

Over at Aska server they say Valheim has more focus on exploration and combat and Aska is a city builder type with helpful NPCs. Do you agree with this assessment?

[merry pebble]

I personally didnt play Aska but i can confirm that valheim is indeed quite focused on those 🙂 tho i will add that the building is also amazing

[warm tusk]

How is multiplayer? Can we make our own multiplayer servers like in ARK Survival Evolved?

[merry pebble]

And if you dont want a lot of combat there are world modifiers to cater it to your taste

[merry pebble]

You can either host of your own pc or use 3rd party server (that can also be your own device that you have laying around but i am not really knowlegable about that) and you can play in party of max 10 people 🙂

However playing solo is also great, but if you will play with friends or alone really depends on you personally.

[warm tusk]

Right now I'm thinking of Valheim as ARK with a fantasy Viking skin :S

[merry pebble]

Again, cant confim nor deny as i have played less that hour of ARK 😄

[wooden tapir]

the best way i can explain valheim is, its very brutal and unforgiving if you like to underestimate your enemy, but every single death is your fault. all deaths in this game are avoidable if you are prepared. Very expansive map and exploring feels rewarding. Always something to explore for.

[hollow wing]

How much soft tissue do putrid holes have?

[wooden tapir]

not much

[merry pebble]

Not that much, yeah

[hollow wing]

that is a shame

[wooden tapir]

still best to go find the giants and havest their brains

[hollow wing]

very annoying

[merry pebble]

Why? its main use is in mistlands, and thats where you get it

[wooden tapir]

if you dont like harvesting it that way, you could distract yourself by "farming black marble" for some potential build project, you should get plenty of soft tissue that way

[hollow wing]

well thats not true given many recipes require refined eitr

[warm tusk]

...This sounds a bit disturbing

[wooden tapir]

i farmed probably 10-12 blackmetal chests of black marble for a build, ended up with like 15 stacks of soft tissue, ill prob never need to go farm any again

[pliant hatch]

If you find mining the skull annoying, just set the modifier to x3 when you find one, harvest the tissue and check if you have enough then. It certainly will help.

[merry pebble]

Oh dont worry about that too much 😄 its completly ethical as they are already dead

[rotund parrot]

I'm not too sure about that, the putrid holes are very easy to spot from a distance and there's probably more putrid holes than skulls in an area. Sure you get less tissue than a skull but it's very fast to get and there should be plenty of them to get enough eitr for the new gear and staffs

[wooden tapir]

so dead in fact, their bones already turned petrified

[hollow wing]

I dont quite understand

what do you mean by farming black marble

and getting soft tissue

[wooden tapir]

all the petrified bones give black marble

and a lot of them contain skulls with the soft tissue

[hollow wing]

yeah but thats what is not easy to find

petrified bones are more common but the brains arent

[warm tusk]

Looks like I'll go with Aska for now. If I want to do multiplayer later, I might buy Valheim too. Thanks for a chat 🙂

[wicked holly]

Hey who has a server i can join in new player let me know if you need a player

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

Good luck 😄 but Valheim is not really multiplayer focused either, it basically has the OPTION to play with friends 🙂

[hollow wing]

It is much more fun with friends

[vocal rivet]

Eh, hard disagree.

[merry pebble]

quite the individual preference 🙂

[fleet fable]

I am trying my hand at taming boars, i have made a pen and got 2 in, they are running around and attacking the fences, there are carrots in there and they occasionally eat some, is this going well? I am scared they will break out

[smoky quarry]

hide fire & hide yourself from them and let them eat and chill

[hollow wing]

Man... im gonna have to rob these dwarves for soft tissue.

[wooden tapir]

they need to be not startled, so you will need to sit a bit away, if they do break out, you can always lure them back in

[fleet fable]

aah, my presence was the issue

[hollow wing]

times are tough

[smoky quarry]

your presence is annoying tf out of thewm piggies

[fleet fable]

In the meantime ig i could expand muh farm

[smoky quarry]

exactly, visual range...but not for them 🤷‍♂️

[fleet fable]

There is now a neck outside the pen, tf?

[merry pebble]

As Djinn said, you should not be seen by them, either box them up or box yourself and go do something irl for 30 minutes, if you just leave them and do something in the game then still stay somewhat close because the taming will not progress if the chunk isnt loaded 🙂

[hollow wing]

finding these brains isnt easy at all though. i mean i remember that and i am searching now, havent found one on a decently sized island

[wooden tapir]

you can also try raiding dvergr bases, they usually have some in there

both the towers and mining pits, all have boxes of soft tissue

[hollow wing]

well. there's only me and 7-8 dwarves

[merry pebble]

What i usually do is that when i first explore i mark all the POIs and i also do that when i am just going around because a lot of time you miss things in the mist, then when i need it i know where stuff is 🙂

[hollow wing]

in mage armor no less

[rotund parrot]

For the skull they are not really hard to find since the bodies with a skull will have a bunch of ticks underneath, so if you see any ticks in a mistlands that means there's a skull nearby

[fleet fable]

i find it hilarious that just because i made an accidental surtling farm while bonemass prepping coal and surtling cores are so plentiful that cores are a waste product effectively

[rotund parrot]

Try adding a few of them to a bonfire

[azure yacht]

Yes, mistlands...

[hollow wing]

Many of those recipes are ashlands too

Not just mistlands, if indeed it was, i would have 0 reason to go looking for it.

On a whole island there's only one skull, and that was the one i digged out a long time ago

[azure yacht]

Which recipes need refined eitr to the point that you need to farm it continuously?

[rotund parrot]

All the new set of magic armor, all the staffs, the upgrades for your existing staffs even the melee stuff require eitr

[fleet fable]

The boars are now at ~50% tameness, yippie!

[azure yacht]

Yeah, and after you get all of that?

[rotund parrot]

I'm speaking of all the new stuff unlocked in the ashlands, then of course you don't need it anymore, not yet

[azure yacht]

Yes, all of that which need to be crafted once if one player, more if multiple.

Afterwards, what else do you need it for?

If the point was for iron, it would make more sense, due to the sole existence of iron supports

[merry pebble]

Oh well, more excuses to explore 😄 dont mind if i do...

[hollow wing]

yeah, more excuses

[merry pebble]

Exploring is fun 😄

[hollow wing]

it would be. if mistlands wasn't such so awful to navigate in

[wooden tapir]

make an entire castle out of black marble, then you will truly understand the pain of searching for skeletons

ive completely farmed out my entire mistlands biome of any black marble

i have to go explore another continent

[merry pebble]

That is exactly what i meant by exploring 🙂

[wooden tapir]

yea i dont mind it

[rotund parrot]

Just running from one putrid hole to another, which are easy to spot from a distance will quickly get you the 105 soft tissue you need for a full embla set

[hollow wing]

okay ill try that

[sinful fulcrum]

What did the morgen look like before their transformation?

[merry pebble]

Transformation?

[wooden tapir]

have you seen the chickens from cloudy with a chance of meatballs? probably something like that

[livid zenith]

They are currently skeletons, I’m assuming they didn’t always look that way

[merry pebble]

Hmm, we dont really have a clue, i dont remember any runestone that would say something about their looks before the falling of the kingdom

[sinful fulcrum]

Shows their heart

With the description that it’s hard to believe they had a heart before

And at some point “alive”

[vocal rivet]

But that's all we know.

[lavish niche]

Just out of curiosity, after losing my equipment and boat to a pair of late-spawned seekers (talked to both ravens and was in the middle of naming a marker on the map, yeah, dumb idea in hindsight) i took a raft and 'stole back my boat' (plan to snipe them with fire arrows and reclaim my full inventory was spoiled by tactical 30 minute rain, visibility was due to the terrain consisting of a lot of tiny isles) due to full inventory at death i didn't bother taking more than a hunting bow and 100 arrows with me. So while sailing the route for the third time i encountered two sea serpents in the first 300 meters and a third one shortly before reaching my base, all in known waters and calm weather. (though i must admit it was a full night of sailing)
Is there some nowhere mentioned rule that provokes them to spawn when sailing naked for too long? 😅

[vocal rivet]

No.

[lavish niche]

So i just had an extra large portion of bad luck today it seems ^^'

[sinful fulcrum]

Didn’t make portal ?

Always have an unnamed portal at mistlands level if you don’t feel confident of your skills

Those bugs are from the space marine franchise

[hidden gorge]

its sailing at night that spawns them

[vocal rivet]

Serpents only spawn at night or during storms so you weren't helping yourself

[lavish niche]

have one in a relatively safe space on the neighboring island, but portal use for me somehow results in random loading times between ten seconds and 12 MINUTES, so i can't rely on them

[sinful fulcrum]

Ahhh

[vocal rivet]

Well, they're from Valheim. But I'd say they were more inspired by Starship Troopers.

[sinful fulcrum]

Yes that what I meant, I forgot the movie name

[wise latch]

How long do smaller updates like the bog witch take to hit live usually

[vocal rivet]

Small!?

[sinful fulcrum]

Gotta wait; depends on bugs and dev time

[vocal rivet]

And maybe a few weeks. Depending on bugs.

[lavish niche]

'small' ^^'

[wise latch]

Compared to something like ashlands

[sinful fulcrum]

Every time someone asks that question it gets pushed a week

[merry pebble]

Really depends, usually few weeks

[wise latch]

Neat

[vocal rivet]

It doesn't.

[lavish niche]

in which direction? XD

[sinful fulcrum]

Lol

[hidden gorge]

rimwards

[sinful fulcrum]

Moreover, if it hits 31 august patch

[lavish niche]

THAT was my least expected answer, i draw my hat

[sinful fulcrum]

It would be funny

[sinful fulcrum]

I didn’t know wha to answer

My english lacks some words

[vocal rivet]

How on Earth would that be funny?

[lavish niche]

so does mine, i have no recollection what the first proper boat is called in english since i play in german ^^'

or better, how to spell it

[vocal rivet]

Well, it's not an English word so it probably wouldnt help.

[nocturne wolf]

The one made with bronze? That’s a Karve.

[lavish niche]

oh, so its the same, good to know

[hot flint]

If i start a new world on the public test it should be good when the main patch drops right?

[wooden tapir]

yes? if you mean the early access and main game release

there is still quite a bit of time tho before that happens

if you meant on the ptb, i have no clue

[tranquil stream]

I think the game needs to be updated on the building méchanic

[nocturne wolf]

There aren’t any problems in building for me. I’ve already explained that you’re getting too close to what you’re building. Your hammer has long reach.

[gray sand]

Game with one of the best building systems I've used needs to be updated on the building? 👀

[tranquil stream]

In other games its pretty easy to build i need to position myself every time to make it work Which is hard

Also you cant snap points when you are on top of à foundation in archie you can for example

[nocturne wolf]

You can use the snap points above a foundation by pushing the left or right sticks to change the snap point the cursor is located at.

[tranquil stream]

I know thats why i said its easy when you put foundations everywhere but its not clean as i want it to be

[nocturne wolf]

Make a small building to fit a workbench in and craft a hoe, then you can change terrain. This will help with building.

[tranquil stream]

Im in the early stage of the game i dont have a terrain modificator yet but i will try to get the tool how can you get the terrain modificator tool ?

[gray sand]

You can build the Hoe immediately after you build the workbench.
It is in the very early stage of the game.

[nocturne wolf]

Make a building that’s just big enough to fit a workbench inside, then you can use it to craft and repair items.

[tranquil stream]

Ok

[vocal rivet]

Huh? They said the PTB.

[marble delta]

modificator

[gray sand]

Found a clearing with 6 Oaks.
FINE WOOD BABY!!!

[tranquil stream]

How can you make à hole?

[merry pebble]

You need to kill first boss

[eager trellis]

Hello, quiet new player here. I killed 2 bosses with my brother so far and i'm wondering, Is the game artificially long ?
I know it's inherent of this type of games. But recollecting ressources isn't that fun, way too much traveling (that is wonky...).

Game gives the location of the 1st 2 bosses and then ? We are supposed to understand that the "keys" that smell bad are from swamps ? How am i suppose to know if there is swamps in the game ? (i know that because i watched google :p)
I have to search for swamps ? The map is completly random... You go far away, see a swamp, create a base so you don't lose everything and then the swamp is like 20x20m ...

[tranquil stream]

Ok

[gray sand]

But recollecting resources isn't that fun

That's... the game.

We are supposed to understand that the "keys" that smell bad are from swamps ?

The name of it is Swamp Key, so yes, you're supposed to understand it goes to the Swamp.

I have to search for swamps ? The map is completly random...

Again, that's the game.

[merry pebble]

Well, you do have a nearly insantenious form of transportation once you have been somewhere 😄 (provided you take the right materials with you)

[eager trellis]

@merry pebble Yeah, i know and you can even swap settings so you can travel with ores too. Because ofc, that is the most important thing in the game so forbiden to take them in portals ...
I want lots of portals ? So i have to explore randomly and pray to find the exact same cave to find red cubes just for that ... And even if i can have 1000 TP. Don't make procedural map... It's chaotic, the 1st "swamp" i saw was like 10 x 10 m stick to the 1st biome. The second one : only 1 house in it (100x100m). It's not like exploration is that interesting. At night, you barely see anything with boats

[gray sand]

It genuinely sounds like you don't enjoy Valheim.

Which is fine, this game is not for everyone. And there are a number of people who start playing thinking it is one thing, find out it is something else, and then move on to other games.
Completely valid and a good thing to do, recognizing when the core gameplay loop isn't for you and moving on instead of trying to force it.

[eager trellis]

It's not that i don't like it. It's an "Okeyish" game that had hype due to Covid i suppose. But you often feel like you lose time.

• I had fun building a big wooden house, but it's not really useful.
• I'm not good, but fights are hazardous. They just overheilm you with monsters, weird hitbox, enemis with lots of Hp, poison. Bosses are hard
• The game doesn't feel rewarding : you spend time gathering/exploring but that will often give you nothing (an useless isle, chests with tier 1 crafting materials ...)
• I don't want to explore procedural maps, it's again totaly random. You just need luck

[gray sand]

The game doesn't feel rewarding

This is a giant red flag to move on in my opinion. Games are meant to be fun, sources of enjoyment. If you are not feeling rewarded for your time, stop wasting your time on it.

[livid widget]

balls!

[gray sand]

🏀 ⚽ ⚾🏈 🏉

[eager trellis]

It really feels the game is artificially long and is intentionaly " notplayer oriented" (i mean no QoL) just to make the gaming session "harder". Like ores farming. It's weird to add the option "forbiden to Tp with them" as a base settings ^^

[upbeat ferry]

if you dont feel rewarded from this game i highly doubt anything can make you feel rewarded in games

[gray sand]

I don't know how many other ways I can say it.. so you just kind of have to come to the conclusion yourself at this point 🤷‍♂️

[livid widget]

I had a diarrhea 🙂

[eager trellis]

@gray sand Ofc, i'll prob move on ^^ I just wanted to finish the game. I didn't come here to just say "game is bad". I just wanted to know if i missed something or it wasn't for me

[livid widget]

Rewarding probably feels different for different people.

[gray sand]

Can't finish a game that doesn't have an ending 😉

[eager trellis]

I mean bosses :p

[azure yacht]

You missed the world modifiers

[gray sand]

Can't beat bosses that aren't there

[eager trellis]

@azure yacht I wanted to play "vanilla settings" first. Seems lots of player do their 1st playthrough like that ^^

[azure yacht]

Fair enough

[eager trellis]

Thanks for answers ^^ Gl

[vital umbra]

Sooo like...my laptop can run the game on 120 fps but it sounds like a fucking jet engine, i lowered it to a cap of 60fps and turned everything down to medium but its temperature is still around 95c....y tho...?...what am i supposed to even do?

[lunar sapphire]

Not a helpful answer here but you tried playing on a Jet?
Should counteract heat output with high altitude

again, don't listen to me

[vital umbra]

🤠

[drowsy magnet]

i used to play on a laptop that doubled as a heater during the cold months

[vital umbra]

I heard it running hot was normal but not this hot

[halcyon ravine]

why are servers so hard to find man

[halcyon ravine]

open it, dust your fans and re apply paste to your cpu, dgpu if present and any other chips

[vital umbra]

Nooo! not effort...😨

[halcyon ravine]

keep in mind you likely have only one tiny fan cooling all your components

at most 2

(you could even buy a higher wattage fan and do a swap)

[gray sand]

Note to self: don't make Fan jokes. Autotimeouts.

[halcyon ravine]

wack

[desert tangle]

how does raids work if i make a base in a tiny island?

[desert tangle]

i use to have a laptop that also has a built in defrosting for frozen foods 🤣

[nocturne wolf]

If there’s nowhere for enemies to spawn, they won’t spawn. The raid will still happen but there might be no enemies.

[plush umbra]

if every loaded piece of terrain is spawnproofed, enemies simply won't spawn during invasions.
(problem is though that spawnproofing stops working below 2 meters of water, and flying enemies such as bats and drakes have no height restrictions to their spawns, so they'll still spawn underwater around the base)

[gray sand]

Dig moat.
Spawn TarLiquid.

Simple.

Now if only Fire Arrows lit Tar ablaze 👀

(Also surprised now that I consider Fire Arrow mk2 could have just been Tar Arrow. Resin giving you the mk1, and Tar giving you the mk2 seems like a natural progression)

[plush umbra]

(been suggested many times but somehow it's not a thing yet, i think it'd make sense too)

[gray sand]

Oh, sorry for the ♻️ then.

[plush umbra]

oh no worries i was just saying

[remote onyx]

Anyone here getting the Valheim board game?

[wispy path]

over the years, i've noticed one thing about the LFG... people post their servers after like a week or 2 playing, multiple bosses killed, and the rest of the people already quit, instead of posting new fresh servers. 😦

[brazen echo]

[wooden tapir]

tha sad reality is most groups will never finish the game, they always get bored at different times and split off, usually around the swamps or the mountains

[vocal rivet]

There's a few people in this Discord I'd join a server with but there's a reason it's recommended to play with people you actually know.

[wise latch]

Does enabling fire spreading do anything fucked up

I mean besides catch stuff on fire of course, is it a mess to add from the start

[gray sand]

It is not a mess at all.

[drowsy magnet]

lol

[hot bolt]

So what is the point of getting the Artisan Table in the Plains to make missles, if you don't get the ballista till the Mistlands?

[vocal rivet]

Because that's not all the table does?

[gray sand]

What is the point of picking up wood if you can't make the Hammer until you get stone?

[rigid rivet]

not to ruin the funny but, a club

[outer haven]

is anyone willing to give me a seal breaker for the queen ive traveled all of the infested mines and i am only able to find 2 pls and thank you

[plush umbra]

i still think missiles shouldn't have been an artisan table recipe, really felt like just giving that thing recipes for the sake of it, and it ends up being misleading.

[patent wren]

I'm still not over the fact that the stonecutter can be used to craft exactly one (1) item which has exactly one (1) use

first time i made a grinding wheel I wandered in circles for a while trying to figure out how to make the sharpening stone (I had not noticed it unlock when I put down a stonecutter for the first time)

[gray sand]

Was always of the opinion that Artisan Table should have been for jewelry crafting.
Maybe the fancy linen clothing also being made there.

[gray sand]

I didn't realize it could make anything until the Mistlands came out, because I had always gotten a stone wheel from the Fulings 😄

[patent wren]

Even if they didn't go the jewelry route, its design leans towards alchemy, so I initially assumed it would mostly be used for refining things into more potent forms, or a strong emphasis on magic. But alas... missiles

[frozen fable]

i never realized you could use the stonecutter for crafting something and i have over 1300 hours in this game

[light drift]

can i play the same world between two different systems?

i have a file on my steamdeck and was gonna play on pc

[patent wren]

If it's a server, yes, as long as crossplay is enabled; if it's not a server, then no. Steam and Xbox/etc do not save to the same location, so there is no way to seamlessly move between them without setting it up to be a server.

I do not have a steamdeck and cannot speak to that, but if it's the same account on both devices, I would assume it would save to the same Steam cloud?

[merry pebble]

I mean, it has cogwheels, a lathe... It Is only powered by magic 😄

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[smoky obsidian]

Hi everyone, mined my first ores in Ashlands yesterday, it was 🥵

[rain flare]

Well done! 🥳🥳🥳

[unreal wolf]

i am noob.

[opal prairie]

Hi noob, I'm a dad.

[unreal wolf]

Hi dad.

are you a noob? idk what to do.

[opal prairie]

Where are you stuck or did you just start?

[unreal wolf]

i just started.

[opal prairie]

Ok, pick up a stone and a piece of wood you can find on the ground.
That will give you some recipes, make a hammer and an axe, the axe is for chopping wood and dealing with mobs, the hammer is to build your very first starting shelter, then go out into the world and pick up everything at least once.
Also the bird that comes to talk to you, learn from it and if you skipped it you can find it in the menu to reread what it told you.

[unreal wolf]

i have progressed a bit

i have full leather items and a club

[nocturne wolf]

Get a level 3 wood shield or wood tower shield, a level 3 flint weapon and some beehives before progressing past the first boss

[unreal wolf]

beehives?

[nocturne wolf]

You can find bee nests in old buildings. Break them for a queen bee to craft beehives.

[unreal wolf]

i have level 1 shield thats not enough? what does higher level do?

[nocturne wolf]

It will increase the block armor so you can block stronger attacks. The level 3 wood shield has 3x the block armor, but the upgrades are less significant on later shields.

[opal prairie]

Ok you should have a marker on your map to the first boss, you should have a quest or the bird told you to gather deer trophies.
With the deer trohpies you can summon the first boss and get a pickaxe and you can then go to the black forest.
Every boss is doable with lvl 1 gear from the corresponding biome but having better / higher gear makes it easier.

You can have 3 food buffs and those are very important, always try and get better food.
Find some beehives in abandoned structures, you can either destroy the beehive by attacking it but the bees will attack you if you are too close.
You can also destroy the structure by building a workbench close by and deconstruct with the hammer.

[azure yacht]

Just read what the raven tells you

[opal prairie]

Those are just the basics I wouldn't look for more info than those basics, the most fun in the game for me was figuring stuff out myself and getting into oh shit moments because I didn't know anything about the game.

[mint bluff]

has the game gotten optimized for big bases with a lot of animals in them yet? i havent played in a while but i remember only getting 8 fps in my base

[vocal rivet]

The game is constantly being optimised but stupidly large bases will always have a drop of some sort.

[opal prairie]

It should be better but what Derek said.

[nocturne pasture]

nope still runs like a$$

[vocal rivet]

It certainly does not.

[opal prairie]

Still 8 or is it better than 8?

[rain flare]

My favourite 😂
Normally involved me going “Oh SHIT!” While some mob absolutely spanks me shouting “DIE DIE DIE!!!” 🤣

[opal prairie]

Let's not mention the bugs in this game that would be just plain cruel to spoiler that awesome WTF moment.

[rain flare]

I sea what you did there 🤭

[mystic sonnet]

I'm at day 80, and i have full silver armor

Am i just slow or am i just too fast?

[rare dragon]

Guys do mods break your game with the new bog witch update or no

[opal prairie]

Probably some, maybe even all.

[opal prairie]

Go at your own pace, first play trough with a buddy was a couple hundred days. second (solo) was under hundred, third with buddy was faster than first but slower as second but it had ashlands.

[opal prairie]

For people that played the game it is plain to see what I did.
For ones that haven't reached that point, they can't see the trees through the forest, they might get bogged down by thinking about what I mean but their curiosity will be peaked and they will get to see it plainly after a while, it might leave them misty eyed and repeating any of these inside jokes might turn to ashes in their mouth once they realize.

[rain flare]

You are kilning me bro 😂
You have fermented this for sometime I think 🤭

Some might say you are just a troll, but I have a fuling that you’re just askvin for trouble 😂

And I just lost a braincell

I wanted to flax my way with words.
I can barley contain myself sometimes.

[near tangle]

i think the partner means that killing a stone golem has no real value for his playstyle, spending 10 minutes killing an enemy that gives you crystal (which is tons in the mountain crypts) and whose trophy has a very low drop rate, although very beautiful, but has no use) (getting on a leviathan may seem like a good reward but it is too ephemeral) if there were 50 units of ancient swamp trees in the game it might be enough for its possible use. (doing hildir missions whose enemies are units with more life and damage than its namesake, the same abilities) the reward is paying to buy clothes that now differ a little but it is not something necessary that can differentiate one play style from another. (fireworks) but there is no melee weapon beyond the Flesh Rippers. Now we start to see rewards in fishing in a necessary and forceful way and that also grants good benefits, the anti-sting potion, the troll endurance potion (wonderful that). The use of the mistlands fish to fry it (also good). (chopping a sunken ship, hardwood) chopping the ground of a point of interest in medows (bones and jewelry or a pendant with no real use beyond something aesthetic and little used if not to decorate) (each and every one of the chests in meadows 1500m or 3000m from the center of the map would be nice if they were different. In my opinion there are enemies or situations in the game that do not grant a reward that makes me lose time (killing ulvs or freeing a draurgh village) the villages should be different depending on the distance from the center and the enemies should scale)

[vocal rivet]

Wow.

Patience. It is released when it is ready and biggest issues are fixed.

[tribal trench]

I will meditate in my hot tub then.. I suppose you are right =+)

[vocal rivet]

It's been in PTB less than a week.

[tribal trench]

I know but just LO_OK at that foooooood

[vocal rivet]

I know, it's great. It's a brilliant patch.

[merry pebble]

You can play it and help test it if you join the ptb 😉

[tribal trench]

Ooooo

maybe... gotta work today heh

[tacit crystal]

If you decide to try out PTB patch you can join the PTB channels by going "Channels and Roles" and enabling "I want to be a public tester" and you can discuss PTB related stuff in those channels. @tribal trench

[grand wagon]

Does anyone know of a command where I won't loose stamina when building or swinging my sword

Tryna practice my building

[livid latch]

does queen buff gives 100% eitir regen?

i dont feel like its gives u a 100%

i know about a formula and it does not doubles your regen but anyways it doesnt work like it should

[opal prairie]

It adds 100% it doesn't double your regen. If your regen is let's say 200% from potions and gear and what not you now have 300% with queens power, not 400%.

[livid latch]

i said that i know that it does not doubles

[opal prairie]

So why do you think it isn't working as it should?

[nocturne wolf]

With rested and eitr-weave you have 300% eitr regeneration and queens power increases it to 400%, so your regeneration is only 1/3 stronger than it already was.

[livid latch]

so that my test:
My base stats:
Embula full set 130%
Rested: 100%
Rest: 300%
218 eitir max.
1st test (base stats) = ~12.4 sec
2nd test with potion +25% = ~11 sec
3rd test with queen + potion summary 125% = ~9.7 sec
so 12.4 - 11= 1.4 that is 25%
11-9.7 = ~ 1.3 sec diff

[opal prairie]

The less eitr you have from your max the faster eitr regenerates.

[livid latch]

so why 25% gives you a ~1.4 diff and +100% gives you the same regen difference?

deminishing?

[crisp portal]

it is said in the "info tab" that the buffs are not multiplied. they are added, something like that. Tho I don't know the main reason of your discussion xD

[livid latch]

i know i answered this in the begining of my discussion

but anyways the gap between +25% and 100% should be bit more than 0

[crisp portal]

And I think the bonus is on you base regen, that said, if your regen is 5 per second, the 100% will add +5 to that = 10 per second. but the 200% will be only +5, therefore = 15; (not 20). so that means a 300% regen will be = 20 per second.

[hollow haven]

Just curious what the timeline is from the patch being on test servers to it going live?

[livid latch]

so if +25% buff gives you a -1.4 seconds to your total eitir regen by quick math 25x4 = 1.4x4 =5,6s that 100% buff should give

[opal prairie]

Did you cast till empty then checked regen?
Cast till empty again and popped queen's power and checked regen?
What steps were taken to test this?

[vocal rivet]

Test servers?

[hollow haven]

Whatever the testing branch is called lol

[tacit crystal]

Usually it can take few weeks from the PTB start.

[livid latch]

like yes i did test like i empty full bar then buffed and started regenerate from 0 to 218

[hollow haven]

Kinda new to like the patch cycles so I was just wondering if there is a usual time frame from when the patches hit the branch to the normal game

[vocal rivet]

Literally just that, the public test branch. There are no servers. Unless you set one up.

[opal prairie]

Nope, it can be short it can be long, depending on what bugs and instabilities are found.

[livid latch]

that is my test from 0 to 218 max eitir regeneration

[hollow haven]

Okay thank you ^-^

[crisp portal]

Did you test with without any bonus regen at all? and then with only the mead?

[opal prairie]

Can you check the actual number of eitr regen you have instead of the time it takes from empty till full.
There are diminishing returns the closer you get to max eitr. Highest eitr regen happens when you are at 0 eitr and it slows down significantly when you are at 90% of eitr and even before that.

[livid latch]

i did not test w/o all buffs but how should this affect if it’s trivial here? There’s a huge error in the difference between 25 and 100
if 100% gave a difference not of -1.4 but of -2.4/3 it would not worry me as much as the absence of a difference between 25,100

[livid latch]

idk where i could look the "actual regen" just by numbers

[livid zenith]

It would affect because if you have +530% eitr regen already then it won’t be a noticeable difference

[livid latch]

so there is deminishing like i said before, bcz on all the sources where i looked for info, there no info abt "deminishing stats"

[livid zenith]

It’s not “diminishing”, it’s additive

[livid latch]

i mean

the more you get percent the less u recive a difference

it is deminishing in more games

[livid zenith]

+0%—>+100% is more noticeable than
+530%—>630%

[livid latch]

ofc yes but how 100% = 25?

530 + 25% = -1.4
555 + 100% = -1.3 diff xD
it is deminishing
More you gaining regen the less you diff reciving

[livid zenith]

Because 630 is ~1.135x greater than 555

[livid latch]

diminishing returns

[livid zenith]

Which isn’t noticeable measuring with a stopwatch

[livid zenith]

y=5x is a linear graph even though the % difference between points changes

[nocturne wolf]

It always grants +4 (reduced to +2 as eitr increases) eitr/second. That's not diminishing.

[crisp portal]

Take for instance a car going from 0km to 100km(60miles) then 100 to 200km. tho there's a 100km difference, they don't feel the same nor the effort is the same. Right?!

[opal prairie]

Does anyone know where you could see your actual regen numbers?

[livid zenith]

Formula on the wiki, buffs say how much extra they give

[nocturne wolf]

100% is 4 eitr/second. Regen gets gradually reduced to half as you reach max eitr (so at 50% eitr you have 75% regeneration speed)

[opal prairie]

I mean in game, is it to be found there anywhere?

[livid zenith]

I don’t think so

[nocturne wolf]

In-game, regeneration is only shown as percentages for eitr and stamina.

[opal prairie]

Pity if it were actual numbers somewhere it would easily be solved.

[crisp portal]

I wish they could increase a little of the base stamina regen, tho... xD

[opal prairie]

I still think he is just paranoid.

[crisp portal]

He may be paranoid...

[livid latch]

kay but why is +25% the same noticable as +100 explain?
+25% to 530 its really low number

[livid zenith]

I already did

[livid latch]

530 and 530+25% 1.13x greater in the same way?

[livid zenith]

(630% is queen power + your settup, 555 is eitr mead+ your settup)

[opal prairie]

Try naked and then try with only queen buff. It will be more noticeable then going from 530 to 630.

[livid zenith]

Again

[livid zenith]

the difference between 1 and ~1.135 isn’t noticeable

So the difference between 555 and 630 is equally noticeable (AKA not very)

Actually, I’m a little wrong. More accurate would be ~1.047x increase (mead)—>~1.235x increase (mead and queen) but you get the idea

[shy sun]

is there any way i can buy valheim at cheap rate than the steam rate?

[livid latch]

okay so the diff between mead 1.047x
and mead + queen is 1.235x
so if i do 1.235x- 1.047x =0.188 diff so why do queen with x1.18 gives -1.4 sec the same way as mead with x1.04?

i get your idea but cant undertood why we recive 0 diff between 18 and 04

[livid zenith]

Because the difference is small that timing errors from the measurer come in

[livid latch]

idk it feels like its just deminishing returns and thats all

[livid zenith]

I gotta go, I can assure you it’s not diminishing, just percentages, I’ve given all the math I can

[vocal rivet]

Doing it as percentages is exactly what stops it becoming diminishing returns.

[languid vessel]

Im referring to the outer and inner coordinates out from worldspawn that the merchants can spawn between, with there 15 possible locations. It kinda forms a ring from the maps i was shown when Hildir was added

[unreal wolf]

What do i do with beehive?

[merry pebble]

You break it, take the bee queen and make one yourself for honey 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Huh? Haldor can spawn in any Black Forest from 800m out and Hildir in Meadows from 3000m out.

[unreal wolf]

what do i do with hony?

[vocal rivet]

And there are 10 possible locations of each.

[nocturne wolf]

You can eat it (it's a good stamina food) and use it in crafting

[merry pebble]

Eat it, or make stuff with it later 🙂

[unreal wolf]

does it protect my base?

[nocturne wolf]

Enemies will attack beehives (and some other things such as workbenches) if they haven't seen you. If they attack a beehive, they will be poisoned.

[unreal wolf]

what should i do with the beehives then?

[vocal rivet]

Build them. Get honey.

[unreal wolf]

they will easy destroy it?

[nocturne wolf]

Place them somewhere safe around your base, so enemies don't eventually destroy them.

[unreal wolf]

inside my base?

[nocturne wolf]

No, they need to be outside

[languid vessel]

Thought there was an outer limit
Like Haldor can go from 800 to 3000m out and Hildir can go from 3000m(i thought it was 1000m) to like 5000m

[vocal rivet]

Well, the outer limits are the natural biome limit. Haldor can spawn virtually to the edge of the world to the West and East.

[trail pelican]

imagine having to go to the world's edge to buy your belt lol

[livid latch]

does troll staff damages flamemetal ore that are on pillars?

[vocal rivet]

That's why we have 10 chances.

[vocal rivet]

And I still don't understand your question. The Bog Witch potential spawns will all be in Swamps and have no effect on the other traders.

[trail pelican]

that's a good point, it would be NEARLY impossible--like you'd have to almost DELIBERATELY look up the seed, and plot a course, that avoided triggering any closer spawns first @vocal rivet

[languid vessel]

oh cool thats good

my group has preped a whole wing of our great hall for the feasts and it would suck if the witch couldnt spawn in our world

[unreal wolf]

some sea guy dominated my boat and me

i was going to the first boss

[languid vessel]

serpants be like that

[unreal wolf]

Why did it do it?

[merry pebble]

By boat?

[unreal wolf]

yeah

[languid vessel]

giant territorial sea snake that eats thing close to it

[unreal wolf]

how do i dodge it?

[merry pebble]

In the majority of cases you can get to the 1st boss by land

[languid vessel]

outrun it

or get a bigger boat and a bow, no need to dodge if its dead

[merry pebble]

They have not killed even the first boss yet...

[languid vessel]

that one, i cannot solve for our Man of Mystery via just advice

[past hill]

GUYS HELP MY FRIEND SPAWNED 100 HILDIRS OPN THE MAP AND HOW CAN HE RMEOVE IT HE TRIED KILL ALL

[trail pelican]

screenshots or it didn't happen

jk jk, but I am curious to see what 100 hildirs look like

[past hill]

HOW ODO I REMOVE IT

[languid vessel]

are they all in the same place?

[past hill]

Yep

[languid vessel]

ok so first: build a box around them with a high celing and shallow roof
2nd: add thin windows to just below this roof
3rd: put in a big door on one side
4th: put up a sign over the door saying "sewing mill"

[past hill]

WHat DOes tjay DO

[languid vessel]

gives those extra 99 hildir something to do till you can find out how to remove each instance of her

[past hill]

HOWW

[trail pelican]

i actually don't know that there is a way to remove her

[past hill]

😭 Help\

[merry pebble]

Wait a minute, will try to figure it out

[trail pelican]

how hard would reverting an earlier save be?

[past hill]

How do i do that

[past hill]

Thanks

[trail pelican]

i'm not sure if/what extra steps might be involved for a save hosted on a dedicated server if that's what you're using, but regular (solo) saves, pretty simple, you just restore a backup the game makes from the in game menu

[merry pebble]

"forcedelete hildir " works, but i am not sure how large of a radius it has

wait a bit and i will also try that

[trail pelican]

(and I, also, occasionally copy paste save files I'm particularly attached to in a separate location for manual backups)

[past hill]

OMG TYS<

HOW DID U KNOW THAT OMG

[trail pelican]

I'd read mixed things on whether forcedelete works/is real, but def worth a try

[merry pebble]

No problem 😄 and from previous messing with commands 🙂

[merry pebble]

Oh it is 🙂 but i think i remember it being quite dangerous if you dont know how to use it (and i think i also fit into that category xD) so i try not to recommend it too much, however i think that is the only way to delete traders

Seems like a great time in a swamp 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Kill the wraith first as it’s most dangerous, then any archers. Jump attacking will help focus on one enemy while avoiding attacks from the others

[trail pelican]

yeah, my brief poking around online yielded no OTHER ways to remove traders--other folks seems like stumbled into similar situations before lol @merry pebble

[grand wagon]

Nah it is

I tried

3 draugr and 1 draugr elite 1 star

[copper fiber]

wen 1.0

[merry pebble]

When it is done 🙂

[marble delta]

get that parry up, son

[echo wind]

The best thing is when there's multiple wraiths at the same time 🥰

[nocturne wolf]

Wraiths aren’t too bad. They’re fast but with only one attack and no random movement they’re completely predictable.

[sage quiver]

I've had worse. Starred draugr archers definately complicate any mix.

[rain flare]

My worst was a wraith, 3 skeletons, an abomination and several blobs 😅😭

Add leaches and I’m just peachy 🙈

Not to mention that one bloody draugr with a bow 🤦‍♂️

[open mortar]

did they nerf ashlands in .21?

[chrome wing]

I just found out that 3 Chuks of my map are just completly gone

[trail pelican]

Ashlands 'as is' is, I believe, lower spawns rates and a few other changes (relative to PTB) such that the "swamping" of enemies on you isn't quite as intense

you still, IME, will draw a good group to you if you proceed incautiously

[light drift]

the fuck you mean just gone?

[gray sand]

And then you use Demolisher 3 times and the group is gone.
Ashlands becomes a lonely, nerfed, barren wasteland.

[kind onyx]

anyone know when the bog witch update come out ?

[tacit crystal]

When the testing is done. Can take few weeks depending when all bugs are fixed.

IG doesn't usually give exact dates on these.

[kind onyx]

gotcha

ty

[winter hinge]

whats a good order to go in for biomes/exploring?

[kind onyx]

meadows/bf/swamp/palins/mistylands/ashlands

sorry for typo

[merry pebble]

mountains between swamps and plains 😉

[kind onyx]

lol indeed

[winter hinge]

right now me and my cousin are playing for the first time ever and we have gone from meadows to black forest to the mountains and the wolves in the mountains 2 hit us😭

[nocturne wolf]

Come back to mountains after defeating the third boss

[merry pebble]

Yeah, you skipped a biome 😄

[kind onyx]

go t oswamps area

[tacit crystal]

After Mistylands and Ashlands there will be Broklands.

[kind onyx]

havent seen those lands before

[vocal rivet]

No Deep North is last.

[tacit crystal]

Correct. I was trying to land Pokemon reference.

[plush umbra]

it's a good one~

[odd helm]

Issues related to PTB should be reported in #valheim-public-test. If you can't see this channel, tick 'I want to be a public tester' in the Channels & Roles tab at the top of the channel list.

All current PTB content should stay in PTB channels

[hard latch]

Ok, sorry

[gray sand]

Have never been one for Iron Arrows... but I have like 200 of them from crypts so... These are nice 🙂

[foggy glacier]

I always just burn the crypt arrows to level my bow skill.

[merry pebble]

I just use the lowest lvl of arrows i have until i run out and then upgrade to next in line 🙂 usually dont have to make any arrows until i get to plains (tho i sometimes do make obsidian for moder)

[vocal rivet]

Wood->Obsidian->Carapace for me. Maybe elemental ones for certain bosses.

[merry pebble]

I also like needle ones since they are quite cheap 🙂

[tacit crystal]

I usually find so much flint arrows I don't need to craft wood arrows. But I usually craft Fire and Frost arrows, then Needle for those that are resistant against Frost.

[merry pebble]

Same for me with the flint arrows, tho i dont reeally use much of the frost arrows and i dont make them purposefully 😄

[magic trout]

For the least update do we need a new map created to find the big witch?

[merry pebble]

If you still have unexplored swamps you should be fine 🙂

[magic trout]

Yes am pretty sure we do hardly any of our map is explored lol thank you

[merry pebble]

😁

[tacit crystal]

It's funny how Serpents spawn only when you aren't actively looking out for them but sailing to certain destination.

Just had 3 in one trip and each one dropped Trophy. Talk about Rng.

[wicked sandal]

yesterday i saw 2 serpents together, that was a first!

[vocal rivet]

You need to be in the PTB channel at least #valheim-public-test

[compact basin]

how do i get access

[vocal rivet]

You'll need the tester role. You can get that by looking in Channels & Roles and ticking the box.

[tacit crystal]

Also remove your comment and post your question to the PTB Channel to avoid spoilers to people who don't want them.

[wise latch]

Speaking of, when the update goes over to live will you need a new game to take advantage of it or will it work with previous saves

[nocturne wolf]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[light moat]

Alright this is hilarious 😂

[wise latch]

So you would need to find a new swamp if you fully explored the ones near you

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, if you’ve already been to a swamp it can’t have new content in future updates.

[light moat]

Holy moly the board game is 871% funded at the moment 🤯

[quasi helm]

is the game crossplatform

[outer swallow]

yes

[quasi helm]

im having troubles joining my xbox friend as a steam player

[outer swallow]

cross play gotta be enabled on the server it cant be a xbox only server

[quasi helm]

so i gotta host

[wise latch]

Ever underestimate the power of hyped early access stuff

[quasi helm]

i did host but when i saw his community tab there was literally no servers 😭

[wise latch]

Can structures on fire be put out by anything

[outer swallow]

might help, check dm

[wise latch]

I don't have that modpack

[stray copper]

Touché

[winter hinge]

how does one obtain a bronze axe?

[vocal rivet]

You make it with bronze at a forge.

[trail pelican]

y'all know if the ashlands passive damage to structures (without the shield) affects stone/grausten/black marble?

[rustic oak]

Does anyone know when the bog witch is supposed to go live? Wanna start a new world once it does

[gray sand]

PTB questions go in the PTB channels.

[rustic oak]

gotcha

Wait where is the ptb chat am I stupid?

[gray sand]

Go to id:customize and give yourself the tester role.

I will again say that it is very fun to play this game while watching Forged in Fire on my other monitor.

[tepid prawn]

Stone yes afaik, grausten and marble not so sure but I think grausten might at least not be affected, could be wrong on that though

[trail pelican]

@tepid prawn ty

[lunar sapphire]

You mean actively playing Valheim whilst listening to the "Forged in Fire" audiobook/podcast"

[gray sand]

Oh I watch while waiting for things to smelt, or while mining.

[winter pond]

I used a map revealer and I went to where bonemass is supposed to be and he aint here lol any ideas?

[plush umbra]

as long as you're not playing on the current PTB version, uploading your world files to the site directly will give you more accurate results

[winter pond]

how do I do that?

Oh nvm I see a button

[winter pond]

weird still getting a message telling me my map is old, buit when I try to upload it nothing happens. I click generate and it wont work unless I put it in a new tab but then it says its not up to date. Oh well gonna have to use an altar lol

[past dawn]

bro i think i have the worst luck in the world. 3 infested mines, all having 2 star soilders and brudes. maxed padded armor and blackmetal shield 197 damage through all and i get one hit

[wispy path]

1 word.... magic

[gray sand]

Better word: Bonemass

[plush umbra]

did you upload both the .db and .fwl? (sorry for the late reply)

[past dawn]

yeah i need 3 more black stones for gauldr table

[cyan ether]

Yo anyone curious, I got some picks tonight like, NFL NBA NHL CSGO,Yankee.Picks just send a friend request or send a direct message, let's eat tonight

[modern moon]

is public test just for bugs? Like if I started a new playthrough on the public test would it be safe to assume there are no actual gameplay changes once it goes live?

[livid zenith]

The official version of an update will be very similar to the public test

[plush umbra]

bugs and balance testing

there have been some minor changes or additions made to an update before it went live, but those usually happen within PTB before live

[echo wind]

There's a lot of bugs specifically in the plains biome

[plush umbra]

one day those dirt lines will be gone
they've been bothering me since the day they first appeared

[cobalt canyon]

only the deathsquitos

Maybe also the growths who knows what those are

[plush umbra]

probably not a living thing considering they take spirit damage

[cobalt canyon]

Their trophy def looks like a bug though

[echo wind]

They're blobs

[plush umbra]

that's a ribcage

[modern moon]

I would probably just take my time getting established in the starter zones building stuff

[echo wind]

Yea but barley only grows in the plains 😄

[plush umbra]

not a very convincing one, but it uses the same shapes and colours as the bones you find around tar pits and in fuling villages

(their IDs iirc describe them as lox ribs, though at least the ones in the growth trophy are certainly too small to be those of a lox)

[wise latch]

Can trolls chop down oak for you and have it yield seeds

[echo wind]

Yes

[light drift]

Am I missing something in these crypts, or are these sometimes ITTY BITTY

[gray sand]

They are random.

[nocturne wolf]

They’re random, it’s possible for them to generate with no rooms.

[wooden tapir]

my worse crypt was 1 little hallway that led to 1 little scrap pile

[gray sand]

I had the fun one that is legit just the entrance.

[wooden tapir]

imagine on your first ever play thorugh and your fist one was that one

[light drift]

Carrot seeds are white on top in the black forest. I can't for the life of me find turnips in the swamp

What color are they

[gray sand]

Yellow.

And the only time you find them is when you aren't actually looking for them 😭

[neon wasp]

I got a load of Carrot seeds if you short

[rain flare]

You’ll need to check each bit of dry ground carefully
You’ll be surprised just how easily you can miss them

It’s due to how dark the swamps get - the lighting and general atmosphere are… oppressive

[light drift]

I made an iron pickaxe and went back. If I didn't need iron, I would not return. Everything kill me. Even with maxed food. Fuck this biome. I got poison resist fir the blobs, but now I have 4 fucking abominations waltz up and two shot me

At a certain point I just turned on fly, grabbed my stuff and sat down to breath at my fob

I have a pretty high tolerance for garbage. I kept my shit (mostly) together running marathons while dealing with the elder and his harem of trolls. But fuck this swamp

[light drift]

I will turn off dev commands and proceed again tomorrow. God damn.

[tacit crystal]

What especially is giving you hard time? Or which enemies?

[light drift]

The endless stream of draugr archers.

And always being wet.

I don't mind being in the crypts. They're fine. Fuck the overworld.

[tacit crystal]

For archers, certain chest piece helps a lot. Have you defeated any Abominations?

[light drift]

Nope. I just barely got my first iron pick. I have 20 more iron to smelt, but I need to take it back to my primary base.

[tacit crystal]

Wet debuff indeed affects a lot, especially to stamina regen. Stamina meads can help and also learning to manage Stamina by not running/jumping too much. With hoe you can make paths over deeper water so you don't have to swim that much.

[sharp peak]

I've run the numbers vikings, 1 long ship is in fact enough iron

[tacit crystal]

If you manage to kill 2 Abominations you get enough resources for making a chest piece that minimizes the damage archers deal.

[past dawn]

the dvergr mine shaft with the skull. iff i break the skull will they attack?

[light drift]

Both times I've seen them, I've had draugrs show up to the party so the abs can just beat my brakes off while I'm dodging them

[tacit crystal]

If you have seen fire geysirs in Swamp you can lure Abom on it, they are weak against Fire.

[tacit crystal]

That was one hard learned lesson for me. So yes, if the ward is there they count it as theirs.

[past dawn]

i desided to go for it anyways, very close call but i made it lol

[tacit crystal]

Hard learned lesson for you too.

[rain flare]

I can sympathise dude 🙈
My first swamp I found was absolutely massive, but that also meant that most of the crypts were located deep within that gods forsaken biome

Had to haul carts, wobble on low stamina, and die REPEATEDLY to get myself out of that miserable soggy swamp.
Shriek can have them - I hate em! 😂

[past dawn]

whats the best food combo when using eitr in mistlands?

[rain flare]

At least the mountain biome is nice - I made little journeys into the mountains early on and tamed a few wolves while in bronze gear 🥰

[rain flare]

Do you like spamming magic or moving around?

[round rain]

LOL, I killed two draugr by entrenching in a ruined house. They tried to attack me but only hurt the broken ceiling

[past dawn]

last time i played this game i didnt use magic at all so i dont know tbh

[rain flare]

Aha - as a new timer to the arts of eitr, I suggest using a mixture of salad, seeker aspic and your choice of either another eitr food or stamina food

[past dawn]

no no hp?

[rain flare]

You don’t want health unless you are planning on playing as a spell-sword with a little magic and lots of melee

[rain flare]

You get a magic stave that summons a protective bubble 🫧

[past dawn]

yeah i got that one, its pretty cool

[rain flare]

Noice!
Yeah, you just rely on the bubble shield and fancy footwork to stay alive

If you are maining magic and you use health foods you are not helping yourself in the long run 🤭

So lots of stamina and eitr is the way to go

I prefer maxing out my eitr so I’m a walking nuke 😂

[past dawn]

i see, yeah the last times i played was i used fenrir armor and skol and hati, very upfront and fast

[rain flare]

Love it! 🤩

[past dawn]

aslo with my 2nd playthrough im using a few quality of life mods and god this game went from a 9/10 to and 11/10 AAA title

[rain flare]

I prefer slow and steady.
If something picks a fight with me I pull out my staff of embers and cast “Obliterate the shit out of you with extreme prejudice!!!” 🤣

[past dawn]

i just wish my buddy liked this game, he like terraria and minecraft but doesnt like the "gameplay loop" i responded with mad cause bad XD

[rain flare]

As a note, the best way to get to that walking nuke level (magic levels at 95 and 84 in elemental and blood magic) is to farm golems with ice magic, or use skellies to farm grey dwarfeyes

Poor person.
They are missing out 🙈

[past dawn]

i got a draugr spawner battle arena so im lvling in there with my skele

[past dawn]

real

any tips for leveling elemental?

[bitter cedar]

About breeding tamed animals: Does anyone happen to know if there is a mod to make it so that your tamed pets will continue breeding and giving birth without your character having to spend time around them? I find it highly frustrating that I have to literally sit there in my base and wait around for them to breed. When it would be so much nicer to go out adventuring - come home and see that the herd has grown while I was away.

[round rain]

Also, is it me or has the raid rate lowered? I'm on day 20 and still haven't gotten a single raid. I've killed the reindeer and located the elder

[past dawn]

im not to sure but what i do know is that will cause an insane amount of lag

[bitter cedar]

But wouldn't the confined space of the fenced area etc restrict how many can be born at max?

[grand wagon]

first raid for me was at day 52

at least for my recent playthrough

[nocturne pasture]

if you are unhappy with the cadence of raids you can just change the modifier before you start your server. At any time.

[opal prairie]

Noon gjall.

[tacit crystal]

Spam fireballs, hehe.

But you can lure a Stone Golem into a pit and shoot it with Frost staff since it is immune against frost damage. You can get resting buff if you build a hut around the pit and put fire near so you get shelter and source of warmth, resting buff increases eitr regen rapidly.

Or use Frost staff on your tamed Lox since it is resistant against frost damage and feed it when it gets low hp so it regens to max.

[past dawn]

good idea thanks

[tacit crystal]

Or better than lure, pull it with Harpoon.

[grand wagon]

Any tip for quickly leveling bow?

Basically my main weapon

[north dome]

build a sky base, summon bonemass then spam arrow

[tacit crystal]

How far are you in game? If you have passed Swamp you can build a high platform with workbench under roof (for repairing) on Bonemass altar, summon Bonemass and rapidly shoot at it downwards. Create lots of wooden arrows. If you have tamed Lox you can shoot at it more safely. Enable Friendly fire first.

[north dome]

not the lox

D:

[tacit crystal]

You can feed it later so it regens to max HP.

[north dome]

animal abuse D:

[tacit crystal]

Nah, they still love no matter that.

[north dome]

hmm does summon fire troll work

[nocturne pasture]

other than cheesing it you could just change the modifier for losing skill levels to make it easier

[tacit crystal]

Surely do.

[north dome]

or you can open console

[nocturne pasture]

if you open console why not just change skill level to 99? Cant it be done?

[tacit crystal]

You can raise skills with console commands.

[azure yacht]

devcommands > setkey SkillGainRate 1000

[north dome]

well yeah the point of console is instant lv 100

[nocturne pasture]

nice

[tacit crystal]

It's up to the user if one want to use them.

[north dome]

devcommands > raiseskill bow 100

[nocturne pasture]

obviously it is since I cant change his game

[north dome]

it's just an option, kinda meaningless to cheese skill for hours when you can just dev command for easy levels

especially on private/1man server

[tacit crystal]

Yes, I meant that if one wants to resort to using "cheats"

[nocturne pasture]

if I think about the times I did console/cheating I just lost instantly motivation to play the game anymore. Thats why I dont do it anymore. especially in games where grinding is a base pillar of the game.

[tacit crystal]

This I agree with. I feel more satisfied with myself when I have gained something on my own instead of using "easy way out" aka console commands.

[north dome]

for me i'd just not farm the level at all, it doesn't matter much (except blood magic)

[nocturne pasture]

i guess it doesnt matter much if you beat the game once

[tacit crystal]

For bows higher skill level is significally different as the draw speed increases. Also the damage output of weapons is better if the initial weapon skill is higher.

[opal prairie]

I do use the console for some specific things if I play alone, mostly for food and the rules are:
I first need to find the ingredients and make 1 stack of said food then I need to have at least enough ingredients stashed to make 4 stacks of the food before I console it in.

[north dome]

eh, bow is cheese

real viking use axe and shield

or 2 axes

[tacit crystal]

If you look out some weapons damage numbers you can see the yellow numbers inside brackets next, that is the exact damage output of the weapon for you which increases with higher skill level. The white damage number is the maximum.

[grand wagon]

Exactly like me

[rain flare]

Use ice magic on a trapped stone golem
The ice magic does not damage, but levels up your magic like crazy
So you basically get a free test dummy 😂

[kindred bronze]

Hey Everybody 😄 It's been half a year since I played valheim.... unfortunatelly i logged out in the old ashlands biome... so... I logged in, droped into the ocean and died due to some dragons..
I didn't kill the mistland boss yet but should be ready to do it as soon as I get my stuff back...

How hard are the enemies there? And do I need special Gear (e.g. fire-resi) to get my stuff back? I would try a hit and run with a boat.... 😄

[past dawn]

i just blew up my draugr spawn how to i load last save

do i just alt f4
