valheim-chat

[azure yacht]

I have to disable it or her?

I'm trying to look for it but I'm not sure if I did

Searching for HEVC gets me some OpenH263 something something that's enabled

[merry pebble]

Should be right under "Enable GPU hardware encoding"

[gleaming musk]

Its a setting in Steam game recording yes

[vital umbra]

hi

[azure yacht]

Oh, I thought it was a discord thing lol

But does it matter if it's enabled or not? Can anyone else watch the clip?

[mossy knot]

So I'm almost "finishing" Valheim with a friend. We are looking our next game to be No Mans Sky. Anyone here played No Mans Sky and could tell us how it's the game?

[merry pebble]

It plays fine for me

[mossy knot]

From a Valheim player vision

[plush umbra]

[vital umbra]

Bruh

homie what

[gleaming musk]

Basically changes the format of the video. I prefer having it disabled because not everything works well with the HEVC format

[azure yacht]

Well, in that case I just discovered that that is the case indeed

[frail wagon]

anyone else suprised we didnt get a dodge skill?

[nocturne wolf]

We have jump skill, and jumping is usually better

If the developers added a dodge skill now it would be a chance to take no damage when hit

[plush umbra]

if such a skill would scale i-frame length, boy would it be inconsistent to get the hang of the timing between characters

and dodgeroll stamina cost is already scaled off of movement speed penalty

[merry pebble]

Well... what do you want more than complete invulnurability when rolling? 😄

[frail wagon]

i was thinking more so,
Faster rolls and rolls cost less stam?

[merry pebble]

WAY too op

[azure yacht]

Just realized elder's aggressive vines play the skeleton attack sound lol

[frail wagon]

i WILL be playing ValhiemSouls and NO ONE is gonna stop me

[azure yacht]

mods exist

Over there

[merry pebble]

Then do, its already sooooooo easy to roll through anything XD

[nocturne wolf]

Why not jump? It costs less stamina, gives you more control over movement and you can start an attack WHILE dodging, which you can't do with rolling.

[gray sand]

Make it like jump.
Less stamina and you roll further.

Just to fuck with people 😁

[nocturne wolf]

At skill 100, you roll three times before you can do anything else

[gray sand]

Try to dodge. Roll so far you aggro more things. 😁

[merry pebble]

Blob when will you stop recruting people into the "jumping over stuff" club XD

[plush umbra]

stabroll i miss you

[rotund parrot]

Make it so you roll faster so your immunity window is shorter

[azure yacht]

Jumping doesn't prevent dmg either

[nocturne wolf]

When there's nobody left?

[frail wagon]

this would be funny on say,
the queen room

[merry pebble]

So never? 😛 ||(just joking ofc 😄 )||

[plush umbra]

sometimes i accidentally jump when trying to roll because i time my inputs a lil too tight, and it usually gets me hit

[vital umbra]

0.5% less stamina usage per 10 levels 😎

[frail wagon]

i hope we get tamable goats for the DN :>

[gleaming musk]

Damn you guys jump instead of rolling

[gray sand]

Damn you guys roll instead of parrying?

[merry pebble]

Nah, mostly just Blob 😄

[vital umbra]

Damn you guys parry instead of tanking

[gleaming musk]

I would parry but I don't want to swap between shields and flesh rippers so I just kick the enemy

[vital umbra]

I loved the flesh-rippers until i couldn't parry enemies that well anymore..

[gray sand]

Damn you guys tank instead of turning on passive mode?

[gleaming musk]

Cant the kick completely replace that tho?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it won't have enough stagger for enemies with more health, in later biomes

[merry pebble]

Damn you guys are turning on passive mode instead of using debugmode K?

[nocturne wolf]

There's more ways to fight enemies than parrying everything though

[vital umbra]

I was mainly talking about loxes, in my most recent experiences..

Its easy enough to just run in circles around them though..

[gleaming musk]

Well it works on plains and I dont plan to have same weapon from mountain to mistlands I think

[gleaming musk]

Yeah I was scared from them till I learnt this

[gray sand]

Damn you guys are using debugmode instead of just talking about the game?

[vocal rivet]

I'm just glad people are vaguely on topic.

[trail pelican]

Yeah lox also have much lower than normal detection range (for the player--seems like they have GPS for every hostile on the map, at least once tamed)

[azure yacht]

You guys are avoiding hits?

[gleaming musk]

I'm wearing fenris set so yeah 🥲

[vital umbra]

reality is that parrying is my favourite way to fight, i hate tower shields and i hate having to dodge so i don't get 1 shot by everything.

[tacit crystal]

Some played Super Mario when they were younger.

[opal prairie]

Guilty as charged.

[faint pumice]

anyone else have trouble getting enough beehives to support a groups food needs

[gray sand]

Tell your friends to get their own beehives.

[cosmic igloo]

is root chest good in plains?

[plush umbra]

as long as you keep in mind that a few enemies there deal fire damage, yes.
fuling spear throwers and deathsquitos both deal pierce damage, so the root harnesk is a great help against them

[cobalt canyon]

Jump in the water every time you fight a shaman

[plush umbra]

once you've got some barley growing, you can make fire resistance wine, so that turns your fire weakness into a fire resistance

[hazy viper]

Playing a long run with lots of side stuff, building, exploration. I don't typically fight the boss of a biome whose next biome isn't complete so that I get the actual drop instead of the placeholder. I'm usually patient. But I had to cave this time and fight Fader early. I couldn't live without the spice.

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping in water gives fire resistance, you usually don’t have access to barley until after you’ve fought a few shamans.

[nocturne wolf]

The fire resistance is just as important with a bow as it is without. Either way, it’s useless if you simply don’t get hit

I do that sometimes, they’re one of the few enemies I actually choose to use a ranged weapon for (although in some situations I’ll still use melee)

[trail pelican]

for sure killing magic wielders from range tends to be ideal

[nocturne wolf]

I shoot the shamans because if I run over I’ll aggro the entire camp

[languid vessel]

i just figured out that you can throw yourself in a catapult

[nocturne wolf]

Gjalls and drakes are the only other enemies I use a bow for

[gray sand]

Gjalls vs. Drakes is fun to watch.

[nocturne wolf]

For trolls and lox I use an atgeir or spear and for abominations I use my axe or a surtling spawner

[fervent hemlock]

is it a normal game mechanic for boats to not be able to be dismantled with the hammer?

[nocturne wolf]

The only damage type gjalls resist is fire, and their weak point resists nothing

Even if they’re the best choice, they still aren’t great against pierce resistant enemies because the total damage of bow + arrow is still going to be mostly pierce

[plush umbra]

i don't think many enemies are weak to spirit, it's just that most are immune, so being neutral to spirit sticks out

[nocturne wolf]

Charred, wraiths, ghosts and bats are all weak to it
Probably some other enemies too

[plush umbra]

nevermind yea i haven't looked at ashlands yet

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword is incredibly strong against charred because of this

[gray sand]

Spirit damage war hammer when?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, other Silver weapons fare pretty well too.

[plush umbra]

wouldn't call the swamp pretty weak though. draugr, draugr elites, blobs, oozers, skeletons and bonemass are all neutral

[gray sand]

If it didn't have such an atrociously long wind-up, yes

[plush umbra]

i think like 33% of spirit damage's good reputation comes from the silver sword's stats simply being unusually high

no other weapon with a non-physical secondary damage type is balanced that high in damage percentages for its biome

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword secondary will do 360 base damage in one hit to a charred enemy, crystal battleaxe will need to combo for this much damage and that takes much longer

[plush umbra]

wish its stat increases over the iron battleaxe weren't so sad compared to iron sword -> silver sword

[nocturne wolf]

I have used both against charred, I can kill a 2-star warrior much faster with the sword and if I’m jumping right, safety isn’t a huge problem.

[gray sand]

Demolisher

[plush umbra]

himmin afl or frostner

[nocturne wolf]

Friendly fire is the strongest new weapon for large groups

[plush umbra]

it's actually still great

[gray sand]

This statement is false.

[marble delta]

are there no Eitr feasts?

[plush umbra]

lightning damage remains resisted by none, and morgens are weak to it.
it's the perfect damage type to counterbalance the downside of atgeirs being pierce weapons

[gray sand]

Mistlands and Ashlands both have EITR.

[marble delta]

...k. not what I asked..

[plush umbra]

and the secondary attack keeps everything around you away from you

[gray sand]

That is exactly what you asked.
If you want to change your words to ask something else, the answer will also change.

[nocturne wolf]

What did you ask then? There are two feasts with eitr.

[plush umbra]

the whole point of feasts is that they're balanced, so there can't be an eitr-focused feast.
but unless you eat for eitr-eitr-eitr, they can be a great third slot for a good bit of stamina and health with bonus eitr

[marble delta]

Ah. I was just making sure I wasn't missing something

[plush umbra]

no ashlands enemy on their own is hard
-# well except lord reto
it's the fact that they always attack you in groups that makes them hard

[tacit crystal]

The knockback of Frostner keeps the enemies well away.

[nocturne wolf]

Even lord reto isn’t too bad because there’s no other enemies and he only uses attacks you already would’ve practiced against

Getting a full combo with the crystal battleaxe against a charred warrior without letting them attack always feels very inconsistent for me. Sometimes I can do it, or they get too close or are pushed too far.

[gray sand]

Getting the first hit off without getting hit is inconsistent AF given how atrociously long the wind up is.

[plush umbra]

especially if you're fighting a group, the third hit of frostner is likely to hit something

[tacit crystal]

1st and 3rd attacks usually hit the same target for me but with more enemies around I can whack them one by one away with full combos.

[nocturne wolf]

He’s just a charred warrior with bigger numbers so anything that works for them works for Reto

[pallid yoke]

I think my game is bugged, I got hit by a 1 star troll so hard I can't auto pick up things anymore anyone have this issue before?

[nocturne wolf]

Press V

[pallid yoke]

I'm on Xbox atm

[nocturne wolf]

Lb + push left stick

[plush umbra]

but the crystal battleaxe of all weapons is probably not the best one to replace it 😅

[tacit crystal]

Frostner has the secondary attack that deals more damage too.

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword level 4 secondary attack will do 481.5 base damage (before reduced by skill) to a charred enemy.

Why use anything else?

[plush umbra]

not really, frostner's damage types fare great in plains while the crystal BA already falls off, then frostner's relevance is kept alive by the usefulness of elemental damage in mistlands...where spirit remains useless

[livid zenith]

Defensive options and being lazy with silver mining

[nocturne wolf]

Mace secondary is very similar to battleaxe secondary except it does more damage instead of less

[plush umbra]

where the crystal battleaxe's per-hit damage is slightly higher than frostner, but it misses out on the freezing effect (and the safety of knockback if desired)

[tacit crystal]

And yeah I hype over Frostner because it really carried me in my landing into Ashlands in my no death run.

[plush umbra]

but you can't do that mid-combo, that cancels it

frostner will very likely finally fall off in deep north, but i really think it's otherwise the most consistently useful weapon in the game

[gray sand]

Frostner can't fall off because it isn't even on 😉 ❤️

[plush umbra]

yea yea say that to the ability to simply click once to prevent an enemy from hitting you at all

[tacit crystal]

And that is okay, it then finally gets the retirement it deserved 🙌

[gray sand]

Odd way to spell "prevent me from hitting my enemy" 😛

[plush umbra]

you hit the enemy already, and in just a second you'll get another safe hit

yea but i guess i'm too patient to worry about that 😅

[tacit crystal]

And that's totally fine if it works for you better 👍

[plush umbra]

yea but it's way safer at a small kill time cost, and i'd value the former higher in a survival game

so do i

and he's the only one i've ever seen say that :>

[gray sand]

Sevrahn can speak for Sevrahn.
Sevrahn also dislikes the battleaxe, as Sevrahn has stated multiple times now.

Sometimes Sevrahn says things just to poke at Winter.
Which Winter and Sevrahn both know.

[nocturne wolf]

Has Krom even been brought up yet?
Forget what I said about silver sword, this does more damage.

[livid zenith]

No

[gray sand]

Replying with "I don't care" makes Sevrahn dislike all of your points and now agree with Winter that Frostner is an amazing weapon that everyone should use.

[nocturne wolf]

How?

[gray sand]

Krom, Sevrahn's beloved.

[tacit crystal]

Krom surely deals more damage but it costs more stamina.

[plush umbra]

yes, their reputation has undoubtedly gone up since the mistlands update (probably accidentally) removed multi-target penalty from them.
though it was never bad. people see a sword in the game and they think "ah yes, this is the dedicated weapon that's gonna be reliable", so of course more people are gonna try those than say, atgeirs. a lot of players simply never try some weapons, so that's where preferences often form.
swords are fine at their core, they should really get MTP back.

[gray sand]

Sevrahn agrees.

[nocturne wolf]

Level 3 secondary attack has 486 base damage. If you think it’s low, your sword skill is too low.

[tacit crystal]

Wait what, really?? I don't remember them having MTP before Mistlands..

[nocturne wolf]

Also you’re likely going to have a shield with a 1h sword, so you get more movespeed with Krom

[plush umbra]

that i think is part of the same accident - two-handed swords have multi-target penalty, which is pretty inconvenient for a two-handed weapon with big reach

[plush umbra]

yepp, they lost it in the mistlands update

[tacit crystal]

Ahaa.. Didn't remember.

[plush umbra]

if they switched this around (took MTP away from 2h swords and gave it back to 1h swords), i think krom would be in a decent spot

[livid zenith]

In mistlands it (unlike almost every other mistlands weapon) has no elemental damage, meaning it’s damage is halved into seekers

Also in infested mines it’s big and likes to multi-target penalty into walls

[keen cliff]

It’s no demolisher

[tacit crystal]

Parry Seeker Soldier, jump at its back and at same time wind up the secondary attack at the butt and Krom deals devastating damage, with high enough skill lvl and quality it cam also oneshot.

[keen cliff]

The name is cool

That’s all I got

[plush umbra]

i like the animations

-# oh right it's not the only 2h sword anymore

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn’t you make Lightfoot mead as soon as it becomes available?
Or feather cape in older versions, whatever makes jumping good

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, there is that lump of metal that cannot probably call even a sword.

On Normal.

[nocturne wolf]

You never need to fight 20 charred at the same time

And Krom would kill most of them in two hits, or one secondary
Warriors in two secondaries

[plush umbra]

-# 168 slash? that's uh...a good bit more than the crystal battleaxe's slash and spirit combined.

what do you mean, charreds are neutral to slash

even factoring in their spirit weakness, that puts the crystal battleaxe at 153 but with longer wind-up than krom.
it probably wins right now due to not having multi-target penalty while krom does, but again i think that's a bug and should be fixed

[nocturne wolf]

Agility isn’t an issue if you time your jumps and attacks right

[tacit crystal]

To add the movement speed penalty of -20% for Battleaxes vs. -5% for 2h Swords.

[vocal rivet]

It's good at hitting things.

[plush umbra]

and krom is supposed to as well

it currently has multi-target penalty, but it really should not

[nocturne wolf]

What’s interesting about it?

[plush umbra]

all two-handed weapons lack MTP, 2h swords are the black sheep in that regard.
and 1h swords are the black sheep of their category for lacking it, and considering 1h swords lost MTP in the same update that added 2h swords, i think that's a very suspicious parallel

ngl that sounds slower than just hitting everything that comes close to you with frostner

[nocturne wolf]

Level 4 crystal battleaxe secondary has 76.5 damage per hit before being reduced by skill

[livid zenith]

I think it’s less damage

[tacit crystal]

Did you count dual wielded weapons on same two handed category?

[nocturne wolf]

At least 24 hits to kill a 2-star charred warrior

[plush umbra]

no, i think what defines 2h weapons is their crowd-control potential - big, wide hitboxes and a lack of MTP
dual-wielded weapons behave like 1h weapons in both regards

[livid zenith]

It’s 60 damage on CBA vs. 95 on fro (at lvl 1 weapon, not accounting for weaknesses or skills

[tacit crystal]

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

Since afaik Berserkir Axes have MTP and counts as two handed in game.

[plush umbra]

in the sense that they don't allow you to wield a shield or torch in the other hand, yea

[livid zenith]

Yes, I checked the wiki after, 100KB vs 140 KB

[plush umbra]

i just don't think that part of a weapon being 2-handed is as impactful on gameplay as the pattern of 2h weapons being slow, wide-reaching and cleaving (granted, atgeirs break the first point of that pattern)

[nocturne wolf]

Does anyone here know what the berserkir axe secondary actually does? I know the animation sends me forwards but can’t find any numbers for damage, knockback or stagger on the wiki

[tacit crystal]

2x damage afaik.

[livid zenith]

It says it “cost 32 stamina and is a leap forward followed by a slash with the both axe for a single hit, dealing 2x the damage.” on the wiki

[plush umbra]

i don't think i've used shields much in ashlands. the food i eat is too cheap for me to confidently risk parries, might get oneshot.

[livid zenith]

I do a lot of numbers to figure out how to not get staggered and not get oneshot because I like dealing 2x damage to stunned enemies

[plush umbra]

i probably would too if i wasn't feeling too lazy to do farming for food

[tacit crystal]

I always carry shield. Paired with Klossen and Storming Splitnir.

[plush umbra]

up to mistlands i eat honey, cloudberries, wolf jerky and sausage

[nocturne wolf]

I always carry a shield but usually don’t use it

Risky situations are the kind of situation where a shield won’t help? Such as against starred charred warriors too strong for it? I usually use it to parry enemies like abominations and stone golems that are too tanky to kill quickly without parrying.

[gray sand]

"Shields are overrated" 😂

[tacit crystal]

Now I'm intrigued of your playstyle..

[plush umbra]

caution and patience~

-# and bonemass on speed dial in case i get surprised

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but with their high damage a shield isn’t going to help much, and there’s high risk as a single mistake could kill me

[plush umbra]

what?

no, i choose food 20% based on stats and 80% based on how little dedicated work you have to put into getting it.

sooo i already know all of my favourite foods.

i'll start farming if the scythe handle is no longer gated behind a boss kill, but til then, no crop foods for me

[gray sand]

Given Winter is friends with both people who wrote and maintain the food sheets, Sevrahn doubts she needs any tips on food.

[plush umbra]

"friends"

[gray sand]

Sevrahn is hurt that Winter is declaring they are not friends 😦

[plush umbra]

oh that wasn't about you haha

[gray sand]

You are starting to sound like "I AM CORRECT AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS WRONG/EASY/DUMB" so... 🤷‍♂️

[livid zenith]

you seem to have a lot against krom and shields

[plush umbra]

well that's fair

[gray sand]

Krom is a great weapon.
Frostner is good.
Shields are great.

"Shields are useless" lmfao....

No to both.

[plush umbra]

well that depends on your diet, but my cheap-eating butt isn't one to speak on that

[livid zenith]

very hard difficulty, in ashlands, still loving shields because I don't care enough about stamina to have more than 160 max (that's 3 Ashlands health foods)

[nocturne wolf]

Being left open to hits is only a problem if you’re actually letting yourself get hit.

[plush umbra]

i'd assume most people play on normal, where shields are gonna be better

[livid zenith]

you could have 300 HP if you really want it

[gray sand]

HHS entering Ashlands has you at 220 Health. Just saying.

[livid zenith]

300 HP is my shield diet, Krom is better with more stamina

[plush umbra]

high stamina is overrated imo, unless you're sprinting around between attacks, there's plenty time to regen to full

[nocturne wolf]

Now that we have feasts, why not have a balance of both?

[nocturne wolf]

I prefer 2 stamina but the option is there, at least

[plush umbra]

i respect that

[livid zenith]

I'll consider health health feast

[vital umbra]

hi winter hi sevrahn

[plush umbra]

hiyaaa~

[gray sand]

So literally all of your weapon/shield advice can be thrown out the fucking window because it is based on sacrificing stats for EITR in your build.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[vital umbra]

what're we heated about this time

[gray sand]

I chose my words very specifically and I stand behind them.

[plush umbra]

ashlands, they're pretty hot

[gray sand]

i'mright.com is declaring their rightness 🙂

And when being met with opposition, doubling down.

[vital umbra]

im not scrolling up im judging the messages i see rn, is this health vs stamina vs eitr or something

[plush umbra]

-# i don't think mocking people helps though

[gray sand]

That is you.
That is how you play.

That does not translate to "In all situations for all people of Earth, shield are useless and Krom is a shit weapon."

[vocal rivet]

No, because that would be a rational argument.

[gray sand]

-# You know I stop reading after the lowercase i is placed 😦

[plush umbra]

sev that's like a solid chunk of my messages

[gray sand]

"Shields are great."

[vital umbra]

IM CONFUSED WHATS GOING ON

[gray sand]

"Shields are great."

[vocal rivet]

Nothing you're missing out on, but your caps lock might be broken.

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t have any issues with shields in ashlands

[gray sand]

"Shields are great."

[gray sand]

💛

[vital umbra]

I use shields because i like to use shields

[vocal rivet]

I never use shields because I've never seen the point. See how different views are equally valid?

[gray sand]

Flametal Mace
Nidhogg
Splitnir

[vital umbra]

I use the dyrnwyn because i like to use the dyrnwyn

I'm still confused

[vocal rivet]

Basically, Jonitin is right and so is Sev, somehow.

[vital umbra]

A shield has worked out just fine for me liike 100% of the time, there was never a situation where "oh man i wish i didn't have this shield" was a thing

[gray sand]

Apparently "list the one-handed weapons" turns into "now list all two-handed weapons" which leads to "The fact there are both types of weapons means the game hates all one-handed weapons."

🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

There’s more two-handed options but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use the one-handed options

[vital umbra]

don't two handed weapons have less block armour than shields?

[gray sand]

Yup.

[vocal rivet]

Then craft a new one?

[vital umbra]

Sooo....wheres....whats wrong with shields then?

[plush umbra]

it has a 1h polearm but no 2h polearm, and its 2h sword has a 1h counterpart
it also has a 1h club but no 2h club, after mistlands was the other way around

[vital umbra]

I have a purist build, If i'm using magic i'm not using melee and vice versa, Sword and shield was completely viable in the ashlands.

[narrow trellis]

Does anybody here know what exactly causes lag in Valheim. I know a High instant count will cause a fair amount but I wanna know what that limit that would be alongside other things that.
Also on another note. A shield is and always will be a Vikings most important weapon.

[nocturne wolf]

But if someone doesn’t want to lose stats for eitr, shields are still useful

[robust delta]

i love purist builds haha

[gray sand]

"If you build his specific way, it is not conducive to shields."

Ergo

"All builds should forsake shields as his specific way is the sole way anyone should play the game."

[plush umbra]

really the only weapon skill that drives us away from shields in ashlands is axes.
and knives since skoll & hati remain the last for now

[gray sand]

That is completely false...

[vital umbra]

I would rather have a shield than parry with the weapon alone

[gray sand]

The chance of you using them is going down.

That does not mean the general, overall, objective chance of people using them is changing at all.

[vital umbra]

i like one handed weapons, and i use them because i like one handed weapons, 😵

[plush umbra]

how much stuff it takes for your game to start dropping frames depends on your hardware, but i wouldn't know exactly how that scales, i'm no techie

[vital umbra]

It just so happens that with one-handed weapons...well what is the other hand doing? not using a shield? why?

[robust delta]

yea that's what i did with elder. i had a atgeir for my heavy hitter and would shield to withstand the stomps

however i pretty much stayed as a mage once i unlocked it so never rlly did it again. i prolly would've made a melee set if i had more time on my friend's world

wut does combo or armor combos mean

[livid zenith]

I like the 2x damage from parrying

[vital umbra]

I mean i love agility and when i'm in any biome thats lower than my present i use light armour....but if i'm going to be fighting i fucking hate the feeling that i can get one shot unless i dodge, i wanna tank...

[robust delta]

oh right. like the root chestplate

[livid zenith]

Root chest is great

[robust delta]

i never was a fan of that but it works

[vital umbra]

i don't like how it looks so i don't wanna use it 🗿

[gray sand]

Root chest is great if you aren't blocking or dodging.

[robust delta]

don't dominate @robust delta

[vital umbra]

dominate me instead

[gray sand]

If you are blocking and dodging, Root chest is meh.

[livid zenith]

I prefer fenris pants with heavy helmet for more speed

[vital umbra]

😃

[plush umbra]

what is happening

[gray sand]

Helmet? You mean Dverger Circlet? 😏

[vital umbra]

no idea

[livid zenith]

What if I block, dodge, parry, and am bad at the game

[vital umbra]

what if i just decide to take less damage

[gray sand]

Only if you're not blocking or dodging.

[plush umbra]

why slash

[livid zenith]

Take less damage through sheer force of will

[vital umbra]

Yes.

[gray sand]

Press Z, take no damage 😁

[livid zenith]

Or bonemass

[gray sand]

You're not understanding that Root chest is terrible because I say it is.

[livid zenith]

The pierce resists don’t stack

[vital umbra]

Idk man i don't like meta stuff, i use whatever is present in the biome i am in, otherwise i feel weird.

[livid zenith]

It doesn’t give slash resist

[plush umbra]

resistances don't stack, so once you've popped bonemass, the resistance of the root harnesk stops mattering and you're left only with its low defense (and fire weakness if you didn't drink a wine)

it doesn't resist slash, only pierce

[vital umbra]

in the meadows i use leather, black forest bronze, swamp root, mountains fenris, plains padded....so on and so forth 👽

[gray sand]

-# There is a technical exception to this.

[plush umbra]

-# yes yes the serpent scale shield

[vital umbra]

i'll make them stack, or else..

[livid zenith]

In singleplayer you don’t have full bonemass uptime, so I sometimes carry 2 chestpieces

[plush umbra]

oh don't get me wrong, i use the root harnesk for the whole game, i'm just saying combining the bonemass power with the root harnesk doesn't really do much (especially in the hypothetical scenario in which the root harnesk would also resist slash, which it doesn't in reality)

that said, i also have bonemass equipped for the whole game

[livid zenith]

Also new berserker potions and ask armor help with that

[plush umbra]

(poor wording: it does do much, it just doesn't do more than simply using bonemass, their initial comment implied the resistances stack)

[languid vessel]

i have discovered a physics bug
when you stand on the catapult basket and throw something, you go flying with it, if you have the feather cape you fly in a straight line forward
how far you go i have yet to descover, but when you go, you go

[plush umbra]

that was actually put in on purpose
or rather, the fact that your character tilts along with it was intentionally added

[azure yacht]

That's not a bug

And it's known since day 1. They literally even posted a vid showing that you could do that

[plush umbra]

if you know where to find the highest peaks of valheim, you can travel quite the distance

[nocturne wolf]

Have you at least tried mining flametal with explosives?

[azure yacht]

There's literally someone saying above you can traverse long distances with them

[gray sand]

Another declaration of "useless" 😄

[nocturne wolf]

It can be a bit tricky to aim but once it’s done you can get flametal very quickly, but it’s less useful now that flametal is less likely to sink.

[livid zenith]

I usually use ladders and jank to get into fortresses. So I’ve never used the siege machines

[languid vessel]

i dont look at the promo material till ive seen what they are promoting, ruins the feeling of descovery for me

[azure yacht]

Fair enough

[vocal rivet]

No, you'll just tell us we're wrong.

[languid vessel]

did you know you can throw a Lox with the catapult?

[gray sand]

Lox*

[languid vessel]

with the new ship we can transport 2-3 loxes at a time! this means we can supply ammo even faster

[gray sand]

It's just lox 😦

[languid vessel]

Mooses

[hidden gorge]

loxen

[gray sand]

Meese.

[plush umbra]

loxen sounds better but unfortunately lox is canon

[languid vessel]

so Loxen't

[gray sand]

Lox sounds better and is fortunately canon. 🙂

But this person is talking about making a lox cannon.

😏

[languid vessel]

Loxapult

[plush umbra]

now i wanna test if their weight counters the catapult's swing

[gray sand]

Screw Trollstav. I want Loxstav.

[plush umbra]

their hitbox probably refuses to center on the bowl and sticks to every other part of the catapult

[languid vessel]

i just rode him up the catapult till he was sitting on it

[gray sand]

Or maybe in DN we get Abominationstav?

[languid vessel]

then when i activated it he got yote about 200 feet into the ocean

he can swim

i mean he didnt sign up for the Yggdrasil aerospace exploration program, but i sure sent him

[plush umbra]

i just tested it, oh my god yes they just fly without a problem

that's amazing

[gray sand]

They basically are walking feathered capes.
So yes, they fly.

[plush umbra]

should work even better

[languid vessel]

once i get a breeding pair of asksvin i will test that one myself

[plush umbra]

same exact distance, well, not surprising

[gray sand]

Imagine if we had Gjallstav 😄

[plush umbra]

but yea, probably easier to get up there than a lox

and stronger in battle

[languid vessel]

a giant burning gjall skeleton surrounded in a nimbus of flame that spews forth fire that would make the Nidhogg itself blush

[gray sand]

Undead gjall that shoots frost instead, and spawns undead ticks 😄

[languid vessel]

im trying to see if i can throw a cart

[vocal rivet]

I can't imagine why.

[languid vessel]

as far as i can tell, carts cannot be thrown

[grave elbow]

heya

[vital umbra]

salutations

[long locust]

yk, I love the mistlands because it's all magic and witchy and shit but I also hate it because I despise bugs

[fair cairn]

i hate bugs as well but hmm atleast its not spiders

[long locust]

fair enough, tbh though the ticks are so much worse

at the very least I get to firebomb the bugs so that makes it all worth it

[fair cairn]

tbh
ive yet to get to mistlands
i keep putting off playing more cause the world used to be with my freind but he too busy now 😦

[rare ibex]

anyone wanna chat while we play valheim? im canadian and im 16

(not a segs bot)

if anyone just wants to chill?

[worldly spade]

idk that pfp makes me think otherwise buddy

[rare ibex]

hahahahah

come chat im all alone

sooo lonely

[gray sand]

Please stop.

[rare ibex]

okay sorry

[worldly spade]

[fair cairn]

now i kinda feel bad for patrick

[wide zenith]

Battering ram for boss location?

[merry pebble]

Eh?

[wide zenith]

What

I'm asking what battering ram for

[gray sand]

Fortresses.

[wide zenith]

They just randomly spawn in biome?

[gray sand]

Just like everything (crypts, burial mounds, fuling villages, infested mines) yes.

[wide zenith]

Thx

[vital umbra]

does the bog witch have the same amount of possible spawn points as the other two traders

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[pastel kiln]

My b 😦

[merry pebble]

I believe so, yes

[vital umbra]

I think that should not be the case if the swamp is so rare in comparison to others

[rain flare]

I know that feeling bud

[rain flare]

Battering ram can be completely ignored

It’ meant to be used on the dungeon/enemy structures in the Ashlands, but at the moment it is faster to just hop over the walls by building wooden platforms

I’m hoping the team makes building on the fortress walls unsupportable or adds some kind of spawn protection in to stop this kind of shinanegry, but right now it is the fastest way inside

[wide zenith]

Aight

[wicked snow]

Is there any written info like wiki pages or soomething on the new bog witch stuff on what is used for what? it's a lot of stuff

[merry pebble]

Quite a lot stuff Is still work in progress i believe and thus isnt show when just browsing the Wiki. But if you search for specific stuff in Google it will most of the time give you the Wiki page even when its still marked as WIP 🙂

[wicked snow]

Is there a way for me to find out what the items are used for?

[merry pebble]

It should be on their site if they have it

But if you want to know what specific item does and you can't find a Wiki page for it you can always ask here 🙂

[fallen steeple]

Who do the tamed boars run?

[fair cairn]

im sorry, what?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

They want to break free, they want to break free, they want to break free from your ties.

In all seriousness they either get spooked by something and they will run or they want to return where they came from.
Their progeny won't want to return where they came from but they will still run when they get spooked by a mob.

[fallen steeple]

I see

I'm just gonna kill it...

[brave sandal]

Anyone know how I spawn stuff in on my server I’ve made myself admin but I keep getting spawn is not a recognised command. I’m on xbox

[merry pebble]

If it Is a dedicated server you can't use devcommands, admin command are ban kick and like that

[brave sandal]

It’s a Nitrado server

So I can’t then ?

[merry pebble]

To use devcommands you would have to host the server on your own device

[brave sandal]

Ok thank you

[wide zenith]

I love Ashland heavy armor
After shitty carapace set, it's so freshy

[nocturne wolf]

What's wrong with the carapace armor?

[wide zenith]

The look

It's uglier iron set

[steel mica]

is it even worth to craft full iron armor

my idea is skip the iron chest plate and keep root harnest for pierce resistance

and get iron helm and iron leggings since going in the mountains with armor below iron gear is a death sentence

[merry pebble]

For mountains you might want the iron chestpiece, not a lot of pierce dmg there, but for plains it will come in handy 🙂

[steel mica]

that will surely put a dent on my iron

its like 35 to craft an iron chest plate

i cant remember

[merry pebble]

I mean you don't have to 😄 some people still use troll there

[nocturne wolf]

35 total for level 3
20 for level 1

[merry pebble]

And 35 iron Is really not a lot 😁

[steel mica]

gonna need me a bigger swamp

[tacit crystal]

Spike hand variant Golem deals Pierce damage with its spike hand so Harnesk can be handy against that. But inside the Caves it can be death sentence if careless.

[merry pebble]

True that, i forgot that golems can do pierce 😄

[tacit crystal]

Many would imagine Wolves dealing Pierce damage with their bites but it is all Slash they deal.

[opal prairie]

I make the root armor, good for the bow, against poison and pierce, the root harnesk will be good in plains.
In mountains I progress to fenrir set for zooms and good against fire (helps tremendously against yagluth).
I am more of a hit and run or ranged fighter though, so it might not work for your playstyle.
I go bow with a knife + buckler backup and transition to mage in the mistlands.

[merry pebble]

Yep that i remembered, and it makes sense they do slash, wolfs basically catch you with their teeth and then they tear the flesh, not really much of the crushing bite that makes the teeth puncture through and through 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

It makes sense they do slash because if they had pierce damage mountains would just be too easy

[merry pebble]

Also that ^

[tacit crystal]

But didn't wolves also hit with their claws, not all their attacks are bites?

No matter tho, but it makes more sense they deal Slash.

[nocturne wolf]

They only have one attack, a bite

[opal prairie]

They will also trip you up so blunt thrown in the mix would also work.

[foggy glacier]

Same irl

[tacit crystal]

I recall some of their attack animations to be hitting with the claws. I have to check that when possible.

[foggy glacier]

I’ve only seen the bite attack

[nocturne wolf]

In one of the animations they raise the front part of their body, but it's still a bite.

[plush umbra]

they have multiple different bite animations, one of which has them kinda jump up, maybe that looks like a claw attack

[opal prairie]

The wiki also says only bite, then again even if there is a claw animation that would also be slash.

[wide zenith]

Battering ram use bones as fuel? Still didn't crafted it, but found fortress

[nocturne wolf]

It uses wood

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, could be that. I'm usually busy timing my parry against them since they attack fast so haven't noticed that detail. Especially in this Hard run.

[wide zenith]

Any wood?

[nocturne wolf]

I've only tried normal wood

[wide zenith]

Mkay, ty

[tacit crystal]

Normal and Ash wood at least work, I'd imagine other woods (except Yggdrasil) working too.

[wide zenith]

Yea, i was curious about ash wood, but then remembered that fortress sitting on lava lakes and ashen desert

[tacit crystal]

You can find some sources of ash wood at the Fortresses, the flags. Breaking them drops 2 ash wood.

[wide zenith]

Forgot about them, lol

[leaden elbow]

Whats the overall opinion on auto hdr in valheim?

[unique arrow]

am i only one who has a lot stuttering in valheim after recent patch?

[merry pebble]

I didnt notice anything

maybe an improovement actually

[wide zenith]

Asksvin can be 2s, right?
I've seen a lot 1s

[merry pebble]

Yes, but 2 stars spawn at night only

[wide zenith]

Oh, kay, thx

They are same size as 1*?

[merry pebble]

They are a bit bigger i think, and different color you will not mistake 🙂

[wide zenith]

Well it's dark asf at night

Ty anyway

[merry pebble]

Yeah, that is true, but i think you will be able to spot them 🙂

You are welcome

[kindred bronze]

since it sounds like you know what you're talking about... is it worth it to tame one? I never tamed anything higher than boars... so.... 😄

[merry pebble]

Oh, i didnt tame them myself so can't really say if Its worth it unfortunately, i only know how they look. But i figure they will make a good base defence just like wolfs 😄

[tribal trench]

They drop tails which is needed for Firey Svinstew

farming them is worth it if you can dig a pit to tame one i would

[odd marsh]

daheck is an askvin

[teal matrix]

Ashland mob

[odd marsh]

oh, nvm i never asked anything, havent reached that yet

started a new playthrough xD, cause i accidentally deleted my world LMAO

[teal matrix]

RIP but mood, recently started a new playthrough with my friend and we both realized we deleted our old characters

Working these skills from the ground up. 💪

[odd marsh]

thats even worse. BUT WE ARE VIKINGS! 💪

[kindred bronze]

Damn... deleting a char is hard...
I've got a char with bow skill about 90 or something... but a bit cheated 😄 on release it was possible to level weapon skills on rocks... so.... maybe I did 😄 But I don't use that char anymore... feels like cheating 😄

[odd marsh]

xD if it was in the game already, then id say it isnt cheating

[kindred bronze]

hm.. ok 😄 and yeah but base defense isn't a thing since I build a nice wall including some defense chrossbows 😄

[kindred bronze]

ok, rather exploit 😄 but it was removed shortly after 😄

[rotund parrot]

They are definitely worth taming since they breed so fast and you can easily breed them anywhere, they are also good for transport. The earlier the better as you enter the ashland since that will save you a lot of time hunting them to gear up and make the best food

[odd marsh]

yeaa i knew it was in the game back then but never really tried it

[keen cliff]

So my first try at melee on ashlands has me killing 2 Morgans, 1 fallen Valk, 1 asksvin, and some trash all in a short span of time. I didn’t die and they did. Ok. Much better than mage build I was doing before lol

Well. Not better. Faster. Less safe.

[rotund parrot]

Faster is safer as you can dismantle anything that comes at you very fast and efficiently so you never get overwhelmed

[keen cliff]

Very different than running around with 4 skellies and trollstav and vines and bubbles though.

[teal matrix]

Sounds like waiting for a lot of eitr regen. Lol

[keen cliff]

I was running full mage gear so wasn’t bad. Yes, skellies had a setup time at beginning.

[tribal trench]

Just landing my Ship on the coast was crazy enough!! There we were... 4 of us, full sail through jagged rocks lining the coast untill we saw a break in the rocks and bolted for the coast.... Meanwhile the Bonemaw Serpent was spitting fire at the boat and vultures come from behind the rocks!

[keen cliff]

Was supposed to be an easy test of melee, but things just kept happening. Lol.

[teal matrix]

In my current group all of us really want to dip our toes into a mage build but that also means giving up armor and basically starting from 0 on combat skills, think whoever decides to go for it first will just have to stay behind the meat wall of the rest of us.

[tribal trench]

then....then.... we make land and everything in the ashlands was on that coast

[rotund parrot]

That's the intented experience!

[odd marsh]

gotta love that, it gets from 0 to a 100 real quick xD

[teal matrix]

I'm looking forward to it tbh, all of us leaping out of the ship to fend off the hellish legions. Lol

[kindred bronze]

Well..... already got the highest Gear 😄 Riped 5 fortresses with a friend yesterday and crafted the quest-sword 😄 Only the boss is missing... but I'll tame one (or better two) since searching them is pain

[rotund parrot]

There might be a next time and yes, always 2 or 3 at the same time no matter the tame

[odd marsh]

just gotta love that feeling, its like that warhammer 40k scene when calgar jumped off the ship and started defending preetty siickk

[kindred bronze]

yeah. But since there is no "we have enough of that" I'll tame some and fill up the chests 😄

[rotund parrot]

My experience in multiplayer was people panicking, hitting the boat more than the 3 vultures (I had to stop to make a workbench on the pillar so they wouldn't finish destroying the boat) then they panicked even more as we landed and started running away and aggroing everything on the beach until they found the courage to try to defend themself only to get absolutely destroyed

[kindred bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-panic-fire-gif-27173222

[odd marsh]

i remember back then xD, me and my friends just arrived to the plains, suddenly one of us got sniped and scurried everywhere like rats, ahhh good ol days.

[wintry valve]

my boat is floating in the air, is there something I can do to make it remember what gravity is?

[silver oracle]

just bought the game today

[kindred bronze]

maybe grab the Rudder, could help

[kindred bronze]

welcome, good decision 😉 but don't read to much hear since you'll catch som spoilers

[silver oracle]

went into the game blind for about an hour, first off: the game is absolutely beautiful

like holy i could sit down for hours looking at this game

[rotund parrot]

You likely will

[odd marsh]

welcome to valheeiimmm

[kindred bronze]

Yep... you will 😄 just sit there, enjoy the beatiful weather animations and relax to the sweet background music like all of us did at least once 😄

[silver oracle]

my main complaint is that i can’t make my character a dwarf, i literally named my character gimli

[opal prairie]

Welcome fellow Valheimian.
i advise to play the game blind and only come here to ask questions if you really get stuck and haven't got a clue what to do next but try and find the solution yourself first and take your time.

[opal prairie]

With the right camera angles you can make it work ^^

[silver oracle]

really? thats cool

[silver oracle]

Literally going into it blind rn, no tutorials, no guides, just figuring out how the game works

maybe i could play with randoms after that

[tacit crystal]

I'd say 1 Star Asksvin is enough and worth it, 2 Star is just bonus. And it requires RNG on your side, I have tamed 2 Star in two worlds and during the first time it took 15ish nights to get one spawned and during second time it took 2 nights.

[opal prairie]

Awesome and that will give you the best experience but you will have some "O shit, O shit, O shit." moments or at least I did.

[merry pebble]

Just be ccarefull about going in here and reading too much 😄 most of the stuff people will be talking about here will be most likely spoilers for you

[opal prairie]

Gimli was the biggest actor of the bunch and was still portrayed as one of the smallest.

[hybrid orbit]

When the game is finish,can we get achievments?

Could be fun having few

[keen cliff]

the devs have said they will work on achievements for 1.0 release i believe

[hybrid orbit]

YEEEES

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[candid basalt]

Until a deer ruins it with their call

[silver oracle]

holy the soundtrack

[opal prairie]

You are correct: #general message

[opal prairie]

Flexing some GIFfing?

[odd helm]

Just providing a service~

[hybrid orbit]

The devs are chad,that is a given

[azure yacht]

If it was patched out because it was considered an exploit, it was absolutely cheating

[odd marsh]

ahh well guess it was cheating

wonder what other exploits are there 👀

[azure yacht]

Maybe the tame animal breeders

But that one doesn't really seem possible to fix so it stays

[odd marsh]

hmmm interesting...

[karmic dome]

so i noticed when you make food or harvest crops there is a chance to get extra, but i just did that by making an iron sword. is this normal now?

[azure yacht]

That's how the crafting skill works

[trail pelican]

spare iron sword for when the first gets stuck in a tombstone

[patent wren]

Yes, the "crafting" skill now gives you a chance to produce 1 extra of any item crafted at a bench.

That part of the skill doesn't seem to be reflected on the wiki's description for it right now, for some reason? (The chance of a bonus item is listed for cooking and farming.)

[azure yacht]

The following activities give Crafting skill experience:

Crafting an item gives one experience

IRON GATE FFFS

They REALLY need to stop that obsession with ONE exp for everything

I am REALLY hoping I'm misreading that as I do NOT want to believe that crafting TROLLSTAV gives me the exact same exp as crafting a FLINT AXE

[patent wren]

I mean, arguably worse, crafting a trollstav gives the same xp as building a 1m wood piece with the hammer

[azure yacht]

Repairing a structure gives up to one experience, proportionally to the durability repaired.

But this is nice tho. Now wood weathering is more beneficial

[azure yacht]

But you can build a lot, meaning that that is understandable. An average base should have hundreds of pieces, that's hundreds of exp from one base

[warm sandal]

night spawns are THE worst... nearly gave me a heartattack when i came out of an infested mine with low HP and a bubble still up..it was right outside the gate and attacking the moment i materialized... bubble saved my live... i jumped over it ran along its back up the staris and out the door through my portal... geeeez game... i am to old for such jumpscares 😄

[azure yacht]

But now would be a good opportunity to implement a hover repair feature

[warm sandal]

oh it was a ** seeker 😦 it would have one-shot me if my bubble was not up

[patent wren]

Yes, I like that it gives you the xp, I just think it undervalues the trollstav even more, given relative cost and ease of replicability

[azure yacht]

Kinda. In that case it just reaffirms what I said.

They could've AT LEAST made the exp proportional to the item's tier. I wouldn't have minded if every single flametal gear gave the same exp as long as it was a lot and even if some are harder to craft than others.

It's still leagues better than ONE exp for crafting the current most powerful items in the game

And said gear is crafted in very limited numbers, if it's just you, it means you only got ONE exp for the skill. Even if multiple players it's still a miserable amount

[warm sandal]

If you think about how much crafting you do during that game you would get your levels up to 100 before you even reach the point to craft that stuff so it would not matter anyways?

[patent wren]

I also saw someone say at some point that the scythe gives points per what it harvests, but wiki seems to indicate it's purely by number of uses... which would make the scythe substantially worse for gaining xp, rip

[patent wren]

Ah, yeah, when I said "arguably worse" I meant "a more extreme example of what you're pointing out", I did not mean it as a contradiction to what you were taking issue with. Sorry if it came across otherwise!

[azure yacht]

One exp makes sense for some stuff, more specifically ones you craft many times, like ammo, bombs, etc.

But I talk about weapons and armor, you craft one per player, that's one exp per craft. And that's IF one player craft the gear, as each could craft it on their own.

They really need to dedicate a whole update to the skill system alone. It is getting worse and worse and developing the game further on broken foundations might end badly

[patent wren]

Weapon/armor crafting and extensive base construction are also tasks that, in my experience, can get split between players, meaning someone who does less base building is just getting next to no xp even if they do 100% of the armor/weapon crafting and inventory maintenance tasks

Although I guess if your crew goes through a lot of arrows you'll still gain a few levels;;

[azure yacht]

That's true.

The more you think about it the worst it gets.

The skill pretty much encourages that only a limited number of players dedicate themselves to the crafting and building.

Wasn't there a skill that reduced stamina consumption when using weapons? I thought the crafting skill was the one but it's only for hammer

Oh wait it's the durability, nvm

[tacit crystal]

Heh, gotta love when no materials went into increasing quality from 3 to 4.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, each skill for weapons reduces the stamina usage 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Upgraded Crystal Battleaxe just without a cost.

[fervent hemlock]

any way to fix scrolling on the map? every time i try to move the map it creates a bunch of pins.

[merry pebble]

I am still not sure that is intentional (i would even bet it isnt)

[merry pebble]

Do you have something like autoclick active perhaps?

[tacit crystal]

I'm not either. But it is still there.

I mean, gotta love when you save 45 Silver bars.

[merry pebble]

Well... Saving the least used metal in the game? Sure i guess... xD

[tacit crystal]

Well. Saved nonetheless. Might even create Silver Sword then.

[fervent hemlock]

nah, every time i click the map to move it it makes a pin

[elfin atlas]

Quick clarification. Is the new npc Witch gonna spawn in alr explored areas or only spawns in unexplored swamp areas in an already existing world?

[fervent hemlock]

is autoclick a feature?

[warm sandal]

I really looking forward to seeing what the mistlands feast willl be... not there yet... the queen is still alive 😄 i love to find new things in this game 😄

[merry pebble]

Could be faulty button then, it can double click if its worn out, or some mouses have actual double click feature

[merry pebble]

Only ones you didnt explore yet

[elfin atlas]

I see, thank you

[random kayak]

How do you manage like which bases is your crafting hub? I have a main base which is on the center of the island but a smithy/crafting base near the shore and a black forest

[jagged quartz]

Just had a thought, does anyone have sailing races??

[merry pebble]

I am pretty sure someone does, but cant talk from experience

[patent wren]

Since sailing is pretty consistent by environmental factors, I don't think it's a popular thing to do. But it could be interesting to do a world with a fully revealed map and make players do a "the amazing race" style thing... "you are in the ashlands with only enough materials to make a raft. Your goal is to touch these six boss altars and make it to deep north. Good luck, players!" 😂

[azure yacht]

Sounds impossible considering there is only one sailing race: Human vikings (unless modded)

[fading dew]

how long does it take usually for surtlings to respawn on a geyser

[merry pebble]

5 minutes iirc

[fading dew]

do campfires or workbenches prevent them from respawning

[merry pebble]

they should not disregard this 😄

[plush umbra]

they do

[trail pelican]

surtlings? i thought they DID surpress spawning around the geyser like normal

it sure did FEEL like they did when I setup my surtling farms (wasn't getting spawns, moved a bench, suddenly immediate spawns)

[plush umbra]

only breakable monster spawners ignore spawnproofing, for surtling geysers, it's not actually the fire that spawns the surtlings - there are 3 invisible spawners placed around the fire which function the same as other respawning spawners

[fading dew]

also do you have to be within a certain radius of the geyser for it to spawn surtlings?

[merry pebble]

Oh, i counted them as spawners like the gredwarf and meat pile etc... they are not that...

[plush umbra]

the respawn needs you to be within render distance, but the cooldown goes down even when not loaded in

[fading dew]

so if i were to just walk rounds between multiple geysers and afk for 5 minutes occassionally that would work?

[plush umbra]

yep

[fading dew]

sweet.

[patent wren]

I once found a chain of like 5 geysers across a swamp. It was delightfully efficient. Almost all of them were in sightline of at least 1 other geyser

[fading dew]

i'm using a world map gen so i intend to find the best place to do this

my goal is more so coal than the cores

[patent wren]

Yeah, you quickly hit core saturation. The trophies are fun too though.

[fervent hemlock]

i see

[jagged quartz]

Ahh ya, an amazing race Valheim style would be cool hah

in teams of 2, hah, that would be hilarious to watch i think

[languid vessel]

what is the despawn speed of loot in the ashlands?

[plush umbra]

like everywhere else, 2 days / 60 irl minutes

[languid vessel]

ok
last two fortresses ive raided the chests have been broken and the loot despawned almost instantly

[plush umbra]

sleeping affects this timer accurately

[loud orbit]

when will we get achievements to valheim?

[nocturne wolf]

1.0

[loud orbit]

whens that

[nocturne wolf]

It's either releasing with or after the deep north

[loud orbit]

yea but whens that

[nocturne wolf]

We don't know

[loud orbit]

approximately?

[keen cliff]

no one knows

the devs haven't shared a timeline. "it's ready when it's ready"

[nocturne wolf]

I'd guess late 2025 or early 2026 but there's also a good chance it could be longer

[loud orbit]

DAMN BOY🤯

[keen cliff]

i would take the amount of time it took from mistlands release, to ashlands release, and add 50%

whatever that is. as long as we are pulling numbers out of the air

[vocal rivet]

Seems reasonable.

[fallen steeple]

Higher crafting skill means

I can get another tool for free and also

When you upgrade it has a chance that it wont use the materials?

[light moat]

Nope, just the first part. You have a chance to make a duplicate.

[fallen steeple]

Well right now i just upgraded a bow to level 4

It did not use any mats

[light moat]

Huh, first time I ever heard of that. As far as I know, that shouldn’t be the case. What bow?

[fallen steeple]

huntsman bow i can gaurantee cause it uses 30 iron

and i still have the 30 iron on me as im still carrying to much

[light moat]

And the bow is level 4 now?

[fallen steeple]

yeah

[light moat]

Weird, maybe a bug then? Not sure, haven’t heard this happening before. Are you using any mods?

[fallen steeple]

vanilla only

no mods are being used

[keen cliff]

i could have sworn i just saw someone here mention they got a free upgrade. @tacit crystal maybe?

i would not be surprised if the Crafting skill, if it procs during an upgrade action, makes it free.

but it's not mentioned in the wiki

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, that's me. Happened at least 3 times in my new world, last time today when I upgraded Crystal Battleaxe from 3 to 4 quality. Saved the mats (45 Silver 15 Ancient wood).

[keen cliff]

i'm feeling like this is intended. crafting should have a chance to do something on upgrade, and this makes the most sense

[vital umbra]

moder is a cool boss-fight, except for when she lands she kinda loses half her brain-cells when it comes to melee attacks...

[vital laurel]

Hey guys : ) sooo i havent played this game in about a year or so, and i wanna see if anyone wants to join me on my new worldm

[tacit crystal]

I'm starting to feel like that too. Duplicate feels odd especially when playing solo, would be much better if there was a chance to craft better tier item.

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 There you could look out.

[fallen steeple]

Yeah that's how the skill should be in the first place not a bonus troll cape

[warm sandal]

got a free blackmetal delivery service next to my base 😄 #screenshots message

[fallen steeple]

and it just happened again got another free upgrade lol

[keen cliff]

nice!

i've only upgraded like 3 or 4 times since the new skills were added. haven't proc'd yet

[trail pelican]

wait it's giving free upgrades?

[keen cliff]

that appears to be happening, yes

[light moat]

Huh, interesting 🤔

[warm sandal]

like if you upgrade from 2 to 3 it goes to 4 ? that has not happened to me yet 😄

got 2 free honey glazed chicken today while taking them out of the oven

[trail pelican]

wonder what happens if you're upgrading to max level and it procs--does it give you a level about what's actually obtainable? does it work different for those items with levels not (yet) obtainable but already coded (i.e. the last tiers of the flametal armor etc.)?

[languid vessel]

in a year or so

if the time between mistlands and ashlands is anything to go off

[light moat]

I believe what happens is, when you upgrade there’s a chance the materials are not consumed. As opposed to going up an additional level. I think lol

[vocal rivet]

Fuck it, I'm not too proud to ask, what the heck DOES proc mean?

[chilly wharf]

You're not the only one wondering. I'd guess it's short for process

[light moat]

Proc means to activate, I believe. Like if you proc your farming skill to get an extra crop for example
I think lol

[vocal rivet]

Huh, but why? Thanks, though.

[light moat]

That one I don’t have an answer for haha

[plush umbra]

no idea, i've mostly heard it spoken out in relation to armor skills in monster hunter

[vocal rivet]

See, now I'm glad I asked.

[plush umbra]

(good to know how it's spelled)

[light moat]

“You’ve activated my trap card!”

[trail pelican]

ohhhhh, so it's not giving you an EXTRA level, but a FREE LEVEL

[fallen steeple]

proc means like when phantom assasin randomly daggers you it has the chance to crit

[languid vessel]

[yugiho gif here]

[trail pelican]

well that makes so much sense and is very clean and nice

[gray sand]

Proc is an abbreviation of "Programmed Random OCcurance."

[vocal rivet]

Aaaaah.

[trail pelican]

you know, I always kinda wondered that, but it just seemed like such a perfect "onomatopoeia" for some reason to me, I never really questioned it

[chilly wharf]

For real? That sounds kinda made up

[trail pelican]

proc = "on hit/trigger contingent effect" sure, makes sense to me

[gray sand]

Which used to be for truly random things like Crit which has a % chance of happening.

And it later shifted to meaning "on hit effects" even if they happen reliably.

[chilly wharf]

huh, this random google saerch turned up this wiki https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Proc

"Proc was originally short for "spec_proc" (spec_proc is short for "special process"[1]) which is a term used by the original programmer of Circle-MUD, Jeremy Elson."

"Special processes in Circle-MUD are functions that can be assigned to objects, players, and locations in the world such that each time an event occurs, the special process function will be invoked."

[languid vessel]

so its like a chicken randomizer in Minecraft?

or like Skyrim's road events

[gray sand]

Idk what this is.

It's like "You have a 30% chance on-hit to light your enemy on fire."

That's a programmed thing, it is random because it has a 30% chance to occur.

So the "proc" is the fire effect.

And that just morphed into anything that happens on-hit besides damage.

[languid vessel]

you put a chicken in a box with several pressure plates connected to different redstone lines
the theoretically random movement of the chicken causes it to activate a different pressure plate each time in a unknown order

[gray sand]

That poor chicken...

[languid vessel]

thats just pecking the surface

[hybrid orbit]

Pass the sauce

[gray sand]

Sauce?

[hybrid orbit]

Ur pfp is a cosplayer right? pass the sauce

[gray sand]

It is not.

[hybrid orbit]

Wait,is not?

[patent wren]

It's a far more merciful fate than most minecraft builds using mobs...

[gray sand]

Also, again... sauce?

[trail pelican]

whether this is true or not as etymological history of the term, it definitely is what I understood it to mean

[patent wren]

Sauce is internet slang for source

[languid vessel]

i once made a mooshroom vending machine

[light moat]

I’m too hungry, thought it was asking for sauce for his chicken 😂

[hybrid orbit]

by sauce i mean the twitter name,istagram facebook etc

i though it was a cosplayer but you said is not so F

[gray sand]

Ok.
But sauce actually means ketchup, mustard, etc.

[vocal rivet]

That's just poor spelling.

[patent wren]

...given that this involves shearing them rather than murder, I think this is better than some but not by much. Poor special cows.

[languid vessel]

no it vended baby mooshroom

[patent wren]

It is, and it also became a running joke in several communities and has thus become its own form of slang with jokes *built on top of it.

[hybrid orbit]

its call culture,men culture,so we use sauce as sorce or code

[gray sand]

I would say that is called a lack of culture if you're choosing to speak improperly 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid orbit]

Well its a weeb culture,im not one,maybe half cause i read mangas but yeah sauce

[thick shard]

hey its been a while how is every one doing

[gray sand]

I think it just shifted to PRogrammed OCcurrence and they dropped the random aspect of the term.

[vocal rivet]

Or you could just spell properly.

[hybrid orbit]

How dare you! but you are not wrong

[patent wren]

...."correct" speech is a construct of power. Language is defined by its use.

[hybrid orbit]

true

[patent wren]

Denoting cultures who do not abide by standardized rules from a more powerful culture as "uncultured", "uncivilized", etc is reinforcing superiority and othering.

Just because it's not the rules you're used to doesn't mean it doesn't have rules, or a system, or logic.

[vocal rivet]

*standardised *uncivilised 😉

[patent wren]

I really hate seeing linguistic snobbery.

[hybrid orbit]

Wait,dont does that mean that we all lack it? since our original language is uhga buga?(Cave man)

[patent wren]

I don't have a response to this that isn't excessively confrontational or snarky so I'm just going to let it drop. I get heated on this topic as someone with a strong interest in linguistics, so I'm sorry if I derailed the chat a bit

[vocal rivet]

Good job, it was merely a joke.

[gray sand]

No no:

Issa joke bruh. 👍😉

[vocal rivet]

But in all seriousness I do see your point. For me though, in a multicultural, multilingual server being clear and understandable is key.

[plush umbra]

i'm somewhere inbetween~
but i'm really happy to see this stance for once, at least in the places i've been exposed to, it's not as common as snobbery

[gray sand]

HOW DID I KNOW...

Winter plz 😭😭

[plush umbra]

hey i use plenty dumb words

and i don't even use uppercase letters for correct grammar (nor proper punctuation)

[harsh wigeon]

anyone know the best place to find thistles?

[plush umbra]

black forest

[vocal rivet]

They glow, so should be fairly easy to spot.

[fair cairn]

the only time youl see me use uppercase letters quite a bit is when im typing on mobile lol

[gray sand]

I was in the middle of typing "I swear to Odin if this starts with an i..."
And of course... 😂

[patent wren]

Which is also fair. I don't mind asking people to use more standard/widespread forms of language in the appropriate spaces or asking about meaning, it just bothers me to see it referred to with stuff like "uncultured" or "objectively incorrect" and things like that. It can be hard to tell how much is actually jokes, and how much is slightly exaggerated sincere belief.

[plush umbra]

really just censoring half my speech huh

[gray sand]

Yes. 😋

[vocal rivet]

Don't forget the really hard to read grey text.

[plush umbra]

i'm doing my best to hold that back in public, it became such a habit in private

[ember panther]

Many words and much of language can be dissected into nonsense very quickly

[patent wren]

...you use light mode, right? Am I remembering that correctly? Did discord use the same shade of grey for that formatted text on all themes... that's atrocious....

[patent wren]

• asking because the contrast is pretty good on my default dark mode theme

[fair cairn]

grey text
hmm
im not sure i wanna read that
ive had enough trouble with yellow text on white and blue text with blue-ish backgrounds

[plush umbra]

-# example text, i only use this for unimportant sentences anyway

[vital umbra]

internet culture

[gray sand]

-# All of your sentences are important 💛

[vital umbra]

nah, idgaf bout mine.

[vocal rivet]

I used to, blimey that's well remembered, but no, I've since joined the dark side.

[chilly wharf]

My biggest irritation with nonstandard grammar and spelling is that it drives linguistic drift, and make it harder to read in the future. I was reading a book today with quotes from the 1600s and sometimes you have to guess the word because the spellings have drifted that much in 400 years

[patent wren]

I rarely see people talk about light mode so it stuck out to me 😅

[vital umbra]

...well...i want to write a book, its going to be written in proper formatting down to the bone, but outside of that i want to talk however i want to talk and as soon as anyone has an issue with that well....hah...🖕

[rotund parrot]

It's good practice to try to have the background as dark as possible

[gray sand]

Non-standard grammar and spelling is the sole reason we cannot simply speak to computers like they do in sci-fi. 🤷‍♂️

[vital umbra]

wat

[patent wren]

Honestly I think preventing linguistic drift is kind of a lost cause. Putting effort to documentung, preserving, and tracing it feels more productive in the long run...

[plush umbra]

i just kinda spiralled deeper into getting myself used to darkness...or rather not used to light, simply because i dislike daytime.

[chilly wharf]

I'll agree that you can't stop it, but you can certainly slow it down.

[vital umbra]

🫤

[gray sand]

Speaking of darkness...

[chilly wharf]

Icelandic has apparently drifted so little that modern day speakers can still read 1000 year old texts with no issues

probably an exaggeration, but still

[rotund parrot]

Get in line with everything drifting into mediocrity

[vital umbra]

what are we actually referring to, me not speaking in perfect grammar or the people that just speak in acronyms and abbreviations

[patent wren]

To an extent, for sure. Just not sure the effort/result is always worthwhile. That said, there are definitely skills related to language and reading that have fallen into disrepair... sight-reading theory my beloathed...

[chilly wharf]

What even is sight reading?

nm, found it on a wiki

the music thing right?

[fair cairn]

i like how two servers im on rtn are discussing this same topic

[vocal rivet]

I love how this is #valheim-chat. We're going to be in trouble soon.

[warm sandal]

probably because there is more than one person with an incling to linguistics and proper use of grammar 😄

[patent wren]

No, the sight reading I refer to is also called "whole word reading". Basically, it used to be that phonics were taught in the US, teaching how to break down words into sounds and piece them together and building them into specific words. Whole word/sight reading taught memorizing words as singular units associated with a broad concept.

[gray sand]

Can we at least agree that you can speak however you want as long as you're not declaring one weapon is objectively better/worse than others or that shields are useless or that there is only one way the game should be played?

@vocal rivet I brought it back.

[vocal rivet]

I know what you're referring to.

[gray sand]

We are on topic now. 😁

[plush umbra]

my brain did not get out of bed today, i don't even know what's to be done

[azure yacht]

Helper not helping

[rotund parrot]

Someone said shields are useless?

[vital umbra]

witcher, wint of the moon.

[patent wren]

Put the body back to bed and hope they merge back together?

[gray sand]

Oh you would have had a field day with that conversation.

[vital umbra]

nah they have higher block armour than one-handed weapons

[fair cairn]

so the helper is being unhelpful atm
awesome

[chilly wharf]

I think it's fine to break the rules in informal conversation, like here, but the problem comes when people get no exposure to formal writing and they don't even know they are using slang or abbreviations. Like someday some kid will read "sauce" on the internet and not even know it was a ironic misspelling of "source"

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure resurrecting old drama is much better, to be honest.

[plush umbra]

oh i meant about the conversation

[vital umbra]

shields are good because they're not bad.

[plush umbra]

brain can stay in bed til next week~

[fair cairn]

this weeks almost over

[chilly wharf]

Which do you think is the better way? Phonetics or sight reading?

[fair cairn]

maybe extend that vacation antoher week?

[gray sand]

Keep brain in skull, not in bed.
Have you lost your mind?

[vocal rivet]

What if skull also in bed?

[plush umbra]

shush, the week's worth of time i was referring to started like yesterday

[fair cairn]

so winter is just headless?

[plush umbra]

well yea when've you last seen a season with a head

[digital nexus]

guys, does someone knows if is there a way to block monster spawn in a area?

i surrounded an area with a wall and leveled it but there're some monsters still spawning inside the area

[gray sand]

Any crafting bench.

[fair cairn]

better question is, when last did i see a season with a body?

[warm sandal]

found a great use for the feasts... i put up three of them and I will eat all three then go about recollecting all my lox that have strayed takes one day to do so ... i have a lot... the next day i will putter around the house and do planting and organizing and chickenfeeding and smelterfilling and all of that jazz and the third day i will eat normal food and go out adventuring again for 5 - 7 days in a row..then rinse and repeat 😄

[fair cairn]

fire places and any crafting bench blocks spawning

[plush umbra]

campfires, workbenches, torches, stuff like that.
but campfires (and a couple other things you'll get later) are unique in that they aren't attacked on sight by enemies, other things have to be hidden by walls and roofing

[patent wren]

From what I know, phonics generally results in better literacy rates + provides students with the tools to adapt to new words more easily. Whole-word loses nuance and limits a reader to understanding words and ideas they've already come across. I recommend looking into it more yourself if you're curious ^^; I have an interest in the topic but I'm not an expert.

[warm sandal]

also i love that we now can set a table nicely and then sit down to eat like decent folk, not eating standing up and on the go 😄

[digital nexus]

oh ok! so the best way is just to place a bunch of campfires, workbenches and stuff around the open area?

[fair cairn]

so the food prep table's whole purpose is making baits
shouldnt it be called bait prep table then?

[patent wren]

It's super nice. Now if only my friend did that instead of scattering cooked eggs and honey in the dirt across our base compound...

[chilly wharf]

Interesting. It sounds like phonics is the better way to teach it, but sight reading is the end goal for higher level speed reading. Anyway, the topic police will be after us in a minute

[fair cairn]

the helper that should be helping isnt helping so... it cant be that bad?

[errant knoll]

After long enough playing valheim, my reading level increased from 9 to 10

[plush umbra]

shhhhhhhh it's a peaceful conversationnn~

[warm sandal]

If you want to learn japanese as a second or third language actually that is what I would recommend doing with the kanji .. just memorize the phonetics with the signs in context and go from there - trying to learn them kanji by heart is pretty useless 😄

[fair cairn]

see the helper has give his input

[gray sand]

I can make it unpeaceful. 😈

[vocal rivet]

His?

[fair cairn]

....their?

[vital umbra]

lol...🥶

[errant knoll]

Loads of flowers in names, very pretty

[patent wren]

They told me it was "farming snacks" for me to use while I was planting... dirt eggs....... the things I go thru

[plush umbra]

i think i'd have added some to mine too if it wasn't too long

[chilly wharf]

Do you have to type it phonetically when using a phone keyboard I wonder? Then you pick the kanji that matches your meaning

[patent wren]

Smiffe gave me my flowers 🥰

[warm sandal]

you are a vvery poor soul having to content with such indecent folk

[fair cairn]

im sure smiffe could figure something out?

[plush umbra]

i think this one has space for flowers, but scarlet's doesn't so then we wouldn't match anymore

[fair cairn]

i think smiffe has given almost everyone here flowers?

[plush umbra]

the character limit for names is universal

[vocal rivet]

Well, we can't have that.

[errant knoll]

I mean my base in game looks like a tip, there's mats on the floor everywhere because I can never be bothered to make more storage space, and it keeps slowly getting worse lol

[vital umbra]

i want like fire, because i'm cool.

[errant knoll]

I could obliterate it all, but that feels so wasteful lol

[warm sandal]

not me i am flowerless 😄

[fair cairn]

well yes but if smiffe wants flowers somewhere he could... replace the spaces with flowers?

[vocal rivet]

sniggers

[plush umbra]

he could, and i'll change it back~

[plush umbra]

like this?

[errant knoll]

Make sure not to deflower those names

[fair cairn]

guess we arent gaining a antoher flower cult member?

[errant knoll]

Could be quite sus

[plush umbra]

i'm there in spirit

[trail pelican]

lol, deflower

[fair cairn]

that is sus wording

[vital umbra]

that'll do 🤩

[vocal rivet]

I can't believe that was for Spring. It's nearly Winter again.

[chilly wharf]

Oh my

[vocal rivet]

God those are obnoxiously large.

[fair cairn]

its just summer here.... well err spring but damn the heats making it feel like the middle of summer

[warm sandal]

uff... finally all the japanese learning done for the day... now i can dream up the next base i am going to build in the plains 😄

[gray sand]

Should have used 😁

[fair cairn]

its 35 degrees here and it rained!, it was basically storming but still 35 degrees!

[vital umbra]

why are fulings also called goblins in the lore, why not just actually call them goblins.

[plush umbra]

can't put discord emotes in names so unless there's a universal torch character i couldn't

[errant knoll]

So question, how many skulls and ribcages should I mine out in preparation for a black marble base?

[vital umbra]

I'm not tweaking right i swear i saw a rune-stone about fader visiting the goblin king or whatever

[fair cairn]

i like calling them goblins but the fulings are kinda goblins on steroids so...

[warm sandal]

well... americans are called americans and they are still humans...same thing there i guess?

[vocal rivet]

Eeeh.

[plush umbra]

what name/title did it use?

[trail pelican]

all of them

[errant knoll]

They're referred to as goblins in the internal Id so...

[trail pelican]

it looks like a goblin, walks like a goblin, cackles like a goblin...

[warm sandal]

i'd say as many as you can get hold of ... the tissue is much needed anyways 😄

[vital umbra]

Uhhhhh

[merry pebble]

"When the King of the Emerald Flame flew south to visit the wizard king of the Fulings..."

[fair cairn]

im not disagreeing and ill call fulings goblins, but the game calling them actual goblins would mean goblins are on steroids int he valhiem universe

[vital umbra]

i refuse to be wrong so i refuse to remain in this existence anymore, i travel to another universe.

[gray sand]

Back when he had 2 wings I guess.

[fair cairn]

lol

[errant knoll]

I already have fully upgraded (as far as I currently can) eitr weave and carapace armor, I know I'll probably need more soft tissue in future too. I've already mined most of it though, just the skulls are left in many places

I could sail and find more mistylands but... eh, I'll wait till these are gone haha

[gray sand]

I leave no skull behind. I need my marble building mats.

[errant knoll]

The skulls are marked on my map so I can come back to them later anyway

[merry pebble]

You will get some soft tissue in ashlands but nowhere near as much as in mistlands 🙂 so it might be a good idea to go look into another patch of mistlands

[plush umbra]

i like seeing the whole thing shatter at once, and hoarding resources, so same~

[warm sandal]

that was what I was doing... finding new Mist as i had emptied out the first patch best i could... i can not say if i missed something but i tried to be searching thourougly 😄 now I am nearly done with the second patch and gonna need a new one soon 😄

i want to stock up best I can before braveing the boiling waters and charred shores

[plush umbra]

though i basically never build with black marble. very well-done material in terms of texture and tech used (though i hate that its normal map is just auto-generated off of its texture. most of valheim's normal maps are, but marble is one of the more nonsensical examples) but none of the build ideas i have fit it.

[errant knoll]

I mean I still ain't even done lol, I still need 2 more sealbreaker fragments lol. I need to find more mistlands just for that haha

[gray sand]

Swapping between the lowercase i and the uppercase in the same message is even worse than what Winter does 😭😭😭😭

[errant knoll]

Having a nightmare finding more mines

[gray sand]

forcedelete 500 MistArea

No problems finding anything 😉

[warm sandal]

forgive.. i am not a native speaker ... in my native tongue we would not write the word for "I" with a capital letter ever.

[gray sand]

😭😭😭😭

[plush umbra]

(50 is the max, 500 will just do 50)

[gray sand]

Lame.
Smiffe fix it.

[errant knoll]

Nah I'm not using console commands, besides game gives you ways of finding the mines, I've just been unlucky with spawns in the second patch of mistlands i travelled to to set up a portal for the queen

[warm sandal]

gets you a heckton of carapace and seeker meat...you'll never run out - just like with entrails in the mountain, you'll never run out.

[errant knoll]

Oh I already know. Casually sitting on, I don't know, about 15 stacksbof seeker aspic? Lol

[gray sand]

Seeker Meat? You mean Coal?

[errant knoll]

Which reminds me, yggdrassl porridge needs a buff, unless I am missing something

It just seems like such a bad food

[warm sandal]

yeah it is costly and not as good as the seeker aspic in my opinion... i never bother to make it 😄

[elfin hornet]

Why cant I place tankards using the serving tray 😠

[warm sandal]

because they are not food 😄 they are empty trinking vessels?

[errant knoll]

The royal jelly to food conversion ratio, requiring sap to make as well as being worse for stats... yeah, the math ain't mathing

[warm sandal]

I would collect one full wooden box and any excess goes to smeltering down the free blackmetal I get every day 😄 (taking extra care to capitalize all the I :D)

[gray sand]

💛💛💛

[warm sandal]

just don't hold your breath please, as I might slip back to old habits if I get tired and do not pay enough attention 😄

[errant knoll]

Stuffed mushroom + seeker aspic is bae

[gray sand]

Hey. Us muggles also have bae foods.

[vital umbra]

why would i want to capitalize all the i's, is that actually proper, that sounds silly..

[warm sandal]

I play a very weird mix anyways... one eitr, one stam, one health 😄

[warm sandal]

not all the "i" just all the "I" as in "my person"

[errant knoll]

I use 2 eitr one stam at the moment, though for the boss I might change stam for hp, and innwarly ashlands I'll probably use hp till km comfortable with the enemies

Reasoning is mostly just cause I have so many salads though lol.

So. Many.

[vital umbra]

i use two health one stamina always

[warm sandal]

I am just not comfy with so little healthbar i am not ThreadMenace or Henrik that run around Mistlands with Swamptier food all the time 😄

[patent wren]

In english, yes, the pronoun "I" is always meant to be capitalized. Worth noting that historical trends seem to point to this being purely for readability, and only got standardized properly with the advent of the printing press. It has since fallen out of favor in casual use (partly, I suspect, because developments in screens and typefaces have made lowercase 'i' sufficiently readable)

[burnt glen]

I would honestly just obliterate them and make scorching medleies.

[errant knoll]

I'm still mistlands, 7/9 sealbreaker fragments right now

[vital umbra]

never obliterate food 😦

starving fuling children in the plains biomes could have had that you wasteful viking..

[errant knoll]

Also yes, is a waste to obliterate, those salads make perfectly good material farming dumps

[burnt glen]

Ah makes sense, gl with the fight

[warm sandal]

at least I got the sealbreaker... in fact I got two of them by rng favoring me that day 😄

[burnt glen]

Not really, I killed them all in my quest to vanquish Yagluth.

[gray sand]

Moreso people too lazy to hit Shift. 🤷‍♂️

[errant knoll]

First patch of midtlands I've found has given me all of the infested mines. Next 2 patches, including where the queen is, there has been none.

Inreally assumed I'd have built it by now

[vital umbra]

i mean if it is annoying people just when i type in that certain way i kinda think i want to do it more sometimes 🫢

[patent wren]

True laziness only occurs if the cost isn't too high. The readability of the 'i' is why 'laziness' in not hitting shift isn't disincentivized anymore

[gray sand]

Also a valid problem with society. 😁

[vital umbra]

i have never been bothered by any manner of speaking that someone chooses except for those who make walls of texts

[gray sand]

I'm out the moment someone begins a sentence with "bro"

[vital umbra]

That's silly of you

[errant knoll]

I type everything fast so frequently there's typos, and what my phone tries to autocorrect is really funny sometimes. Lol

[gray sand]

That's silly of them.
We are not related.

[warm sandal]

i typed a perfectly harmless message and got timed out???? hu??? i do not understand...there was no boad word in there what so ever?

[vital umbra]

Why would you stress over something so....whats the word, minor works.

write someone off instantly lol...that sounds actually annoying to be that bothered by it all the time...i feel bad for u 😦

[errant knoll]

Also the way I see it, if the name used isn't an insult. I don't care. Call me bro, sis, whatever, don't bother me lol

My autocorrect got so bad I had to manually disable it or it would just. Completely eradicate meaning in my messages. I now have to be much more precise with my fat thumbs. (I still miss things like 'buily' instead of 'built' when sometimes, though...)

[gray sand]

Don't.

[vital umbra]

bro thats epic

i just watched an old video where someone referred to plains gear as late-game 👴

[errant knoll]

I mean it used to be! Haha

[vital umbra]

yeahh technically...

[errant knoll]

Like even during mistlands update it would have been accurate to call plains "late game prog gear" so

[kindred bronze]

Ashlands-Spoiler - Don't click:
||I recently made the Dyrnwyn-Quest with a friend. Quit nice!
But I'm wondering if we are the only player on this map to get the sword, since the quest is done and the final mob is dead. Does anybody know?||

[errant knoll]

Probably safe to say that in full release of the game, "late game" officially starts in mistlands

[vital umbra]

i suppooose..

3 biomes per game stage i think

[errant knoll]

I mean my reasoning is more that everything up to the plains is a very similar routine, for the most part.

After the plains gameplay shakes up significantly in every new biome

[patent wren]

Probably, though some people may categorize Deep North and Ashlands as the 'true' lategame, since those two biomes uniquely appear at the far 'poles' of the worldgen.

[vital umbra]

meadows/blackforest/ocean = early game, swamp/mountains/plains = mid game, mistlands/ashlands/deep north = late game

[errant knoll]

Yeah that's fair, hence why mistlands is where it "starts" - it's not at the poles but it likewise only spawns right near the edges, though not needing to be quite so close

[errant knoll]

Would agree with this, everything before swamps really is just an extended tutorial for the most part

[vocal rivet]

There is one per server, yes

[vital umbra]

the serpents are kinda scary....ah...sometimes...and i think the abyssal razor and serpent scale shield are roughly swamp tier?...but i think they become quite easy to deal with still

[rotund parrot]

Unless you get a duplicate while crafting it you can only get one per map

[vital umbra]

evooo

[gleaming musk]

I played Valheim before Ashlands or Mistlaids but never made it to plains 😬 , luckily on this playthrough I made it

[kindred bronze]

duplicate? woat? 😄 sounds like exploit 😄

[gleaming musk]

Crafting skill

[rotund parrot]

Well they decided it can be a thing with the crafting skill

[kindred bronze]

that works???? sick

[near furnace]

sorry @warm sandal . saying "ich" triggers the auto-mod

[errant knoll]

Abyssal razor is definitely swamp tier.

I consider serpents to be a major threat until you can build a viking longship. Taking slightly too long to kill one is risky, having to deal with 2 is damn near a death sentence.

[vocal rivet]

That really shouldn't apply to a legendary item but unless they start coding in e exceptions I can't see it changing.

[gleaming musk]

Ngl I don't see the point of chitin other than harpoon

[vital umbra]

i wish dyrnwyn was a little bit more powerful, had another damage type like spirit maybe

[errant knoll]

My voyages are always a bit anxiety filled before I have a viking longship, I never really feel safe

[merry pebble]

The knife is awesome 😄

[vital umbra]

....razor?..

[errant knoll]

Knives are actually really good weapons

[vital umbra]

I mean i don't even care about the overall placement of weapon type, If you're doing a build where you want to use knives then chitin is a treat..

[gleaming musk]

Is it worth it for how rare are the leviathans? I would prefer to farm some mineral

[vital umbra]

yes

[merry pebble]

If you find one early in swamp or before it then abso-fu*king-lutly 😄

[errant knoll]

Being a swamp tier weapon that requires 0 iron means the chitin can be very incredible for those early stages

[light moat]

Whoever had the higher crafting skill, have them craft the Dyrnwyn. There’s a small chance one-time chance you’ll craft two.

[vital umbra]

can you mine barnacles with an antler pick

[merry pebble]

yep

[rotund parrot]

They are not rare to the point where it will be hard to find 2 of them to craft the knife and you aren't just looking for leviathans. You are exploring the map, looking for the traders, big swamps, mountains and hunting serpents

[errant knoll]

You can, though its not ideal lol

[fading dew]

unless you get lucky though, dont you kind of have to go out of your way to get the razor before mountains?
