valheim-chat

[keen cliff]

i can't decide between nidhogg+shield, or berserker axes. i'm leaning towards axes because they free up inventory slots better. it's just weird not using a shield for me

[leaden elbow]

i spawned 2 as well

[keen cliff]

but i parried a 1star charred warrior without a shield, so, i guess that's fine

[wide zenith]

I love dualwielding 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[leaden elbow]

uh, i killed both. i now have 4 swamp keys. game got bugged i think

[nocturne wolf]

Why not both? There are many situations where berserkir axes are much worse than the sword, and also some where it's better.

[wheat stirrup]

ive met yesterday with 2 stars

[warm sandal]

i am still on a hunt for more tissue... but most i find are more mines... up to 25 spare black cores now still somewhat short on tissue 😦

[nocturne wolf]

The elder drops one swamp key for each player

[keen cliff]

i guess i'm just thinking about my default melee loadout. i'm curious what situations you think sword+shield is better however?

[keen cliff]

lol that's a lot of spare cores

[rotund parrot]

I carry both, sword and shield will be better for the strongest enemy and for the harder difficulty

[warm sandal]

and i got probably the seeker poorest mist i have evere seen i barely got enough to get the carapace armor going :(.. also stompistomps are elusive 😦

[nocturne wolf]

The high recovery time makes berserkir axes inefficient against 2-star charred warriors, starred morgens etc that are too strong to parry or stagger with damage. You only have time for one primary attack before you need to dodge, so it's very slow. If you get jade axes this won't be a problem though, unless you get unlucky

[keen cliff]

this is good info, thanks. currently using lightning axes. but i could always make some jade ones too

[keen cliff]

seekers respawn in infested mines, if you really need more carapace. but honestly you'll get enough looking for that soft tissue, i'm sure

[warm sandal]

in my last run i got so much that i did not know wnat to do with it, this time just the opposite... oh well... gonna go explore more, eventually i will find a few more... have even been sticking to needle arrows because carapace is so much in short supply 😄

[keen cliff]

yeah, i'm still making carapace bolts in the ashlands since i have so much of the stuff

granted, ripper rate of fire is lower than bow, so you need less anyways

[warm sandal]

on my way now to the third patch of Mist 😦 can't always be the lucky one i guess

[keen cliff]

i had to sail to 3 separate mistlands spots in my word to get all the soft tissue i needed

[warm sandal]

all good things come in threes i guess.. maybe the third will be the place where I get enough finally 😄

[wide zenith]

We don't have new pickaxe btw?

[keen cliff]

blackmetal pickaxe is the current best

[wide zenith]

Sad

[warm sandal]

more sad there is no decent knife to be had ... i am not a big fan of the dual wielding knife ... oh well...

[keen cliff]

my bet is that DN will have 1 weapon for every type

[wide zenith]

I liked skoll'n'hati, but new knife would be nice to have

[keen cliff]

basically give every weapon an endgame version

[old flint]

deep norths weapon are made of gold like metal, ancient metal, thats what I heard. Imagining a golden shiny armor

[wide zenith]

Damn i have only 2 fortresses on my first island, and those don't have lighting stone

[old flint]

Id honestly trade even 2 lightning stones for 1 blood

My playthrough has been like, 12 jade 8 lightning and 4 blood or smh

[wide zenith]

So far i looted only 4 jade and 1 blood, lol

[rotund parrot]

I'll take that trade anyday

[brisk osprey]

what channel is best used for questions about the boardgame

[vocal rivet]

I don't think there is one. Doubt we'll have any answers either.

[old flint]

I guess I have to start preparing for Fader. Any tips?

[warm sandal]

lol... I was buiding wisplights and workbench and pocketportal next to a skull I found and guess what muppets showed up because i was making a ruckus in the mist? You'll never guess 😄

[rotund parrot]

Wait until the last phase to use bonemass if you want that power, do a loop that end around him when he does the attack that follows you. When he spawn mobs, ignore them and run towards them when he targets you with that attack to use it to kill them.

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a root harnesk, use it if you want to use melee weapons

[old flint]

I want to get burned alive, yes

[nocturne wolf]

Fire resistance barley wine overrides the weakness

All of his physical damage is pierce except a low blunt damage (40) on the meteors

[old flint]

ooh

[keen cliff]

root harnesk OP against fader

Blob proved it with science

[old flint]

damn I gotta make one

[rotund parrot]

You will want to avoid all the attacks anyway, if you use it do make sure you pay attention to the 10 minute timer so you are ready to replenish it stat

Well that goes for any armor

[old flint]

its only 12 armor tho at lvl 3

[keen cliff]

use serpent shield + root harnesk for the true Blob OP strat

[lavish bone]

This is very important valhiem question indian or Chinese for a take away (food)

[nocturne wolf]

I don't actually use it against him, I prefer berserkir axes and ask armor

[sinful trellis]

indian

[rotund parrot]

Vietnamese

[lavish bone]

no you dont count

dan that is

your in my chat bro

[sinful trellis]

real

[old flint]

I upgraded green mace and axes, got max flametal armor, max root harnesk, am I good to go for fader?

[candid basalt]

Seeker soldier 2 star

[warm sandal]

three greydwarfs and a greydwarf shaman 😄

[candid basalt]

Damn hope you ran!

[warm sandal]

I got out of there alright before they could kill me 😄

[sinful trellis]

chat i have an indestructable wood post what do i do

[candid basalt]

I watched a wave of greydwarves come out of the mist into a fight between dwarf mages and a starred gjall with seekers

[nocturne wolf]

If you bring lightfoot mead, tonic of Ratatosk and fire resistance barley wine, yes
(There's a lot of dodging to do)

[candid basalt]

Was massive slaughter

[warm sandal]

you gotta give it to them they are brave to throw themselves at all of that highlevel enemies 😄

[candid basalt]

The 2 star brute lived the longest and was running around in panic

[keen cliff]

i love when biomes fight each other

so entertaining. i should look for a good spot where some biomes come up against each other and setup a little outpost to watch the fun

[candid basalt]

Trolls vs abominations is my favorite

[keen cliff]

like a plains/mistlands border can also be useful from a resource perspective. get some extra black metal and seeker parts

[candid basalt]

Tho a stone golem vs lox is fun too

[onyx pier]

I seem to get a lot of swamp vs plains stuff

[rotund parrot]

Best part about plains and mistlands border is definitely the mosquitoes hunting the hares extremely efficiently

[onyx pier]

I'd kill for that. God I hate hunting hares

[warm sandal]

with my youtube character I found a place where there ist mist to the right, swamp to the left, plains in the middle and mountain straight ahead... this is going to be the spot for my new Base 😄

[trail pelican]

views sound immaculate

[nimble aurora]

make sure you get as many hits in as possible when he’s stunned by the root effect. id even suggest bringing beserkir mead just to maximise that

[candid basalt]

🎵Draugr to the left of me, seekers to the right! Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

[final bloom]

Is still possible to lvl up Cooking stuffing things into the oven?

Even with a full oven

[nimble aurora]

im so done with hunting hares, i use fucking ooze bombs instead of arrows now

[nimble aurora]

i havent heard any news of it being patched yet

[candid basalt]

Ember staff does okay with bunnies

[nimble aurora]

eh im not about magic. melee all the way

[final bloom]

Then I might try it later

[warm sandal]

I tried it just now and it does give xp for trying to stuff the oven more 😄

[nimble aurora]

i only learned of it a few days ago anyway

[nimble aurora]

alr not patched yet lets go

[rotund parrot]

I run after them with the knife, usually work

[candid basalt]

Best thing about magic is my skeles protect me while I’m building

[nimble aurora]

well the AOE of the ooze makes it impossible to miss unless you absolutely fumble it

[rotund parrot]

I'll give that a try, sounds like a good strategy

[nimble aurora]

im just not a fan of the hit your other stats take when you eat eitr foods

[nimble aurora]

i just resummoned bonemass and farmed blobs lmaooo

[nocturne wolf]

Losing health isn't a problem because you can use the staff of protection, which is why I use an EES diet with magic

[rotund parrot]

Yeah that's the way to do it

[nimble aurora]

i just dont like taking that risk ngl

plus melee feels more tight to me, especially if you have two handed sword

[nocturne wolf]

The risk of relying on the most broken op item in the game?

I prefer melee too though

[nimble aurora]

i mean thats another factor, it feels cheap

the only magic i ever use in my playthrough is staff of the wild against fader

[keen cliff]

jealous!

[fair kindle]

i'm curious, does the two-handed sword also use the sword skill?

[trail pelican]

yes

[plush umbra]

spears are kinda the odd one out in that they don't use the same skill as their 2h counterpart, but that probably stems from them having originally been exclusively throwing weapons, thus barely comparable to atgeirs in use

[nimble aurora]

yes, and the damage can be insane past around lvl 60

ive got a lvl 3 lightning slayer with 65 sword skill and it tears ass

[trail pelican]

INTERESTING

[nimble aurora]

lvl 2* slayer sorry

[gray sand]

They are the odd one out in multiple ways 😁

[trail pelican]

never knew (joined at some point after Mistlands were already in the game)

[plush umbra]

oh that change was made before even early access release

[leaden elbow]

Just reached the swamp and we got killed by slimes and a wraith. We can do some more bronze age level upping but still, how can i deal with the common enemies? are the aoe attacks blockable?

we got our stuff back and i made a portal near the swamp but itd be preferable not to die

[nocturne wolf]

Wraiths only spawn at night, and you can make poison resistance mead for the blobs

[keen cliff]

were you exploring at night? wraith's only cme out at night

[gray sand]

What's your food?

[leaden elbow]

yeah day ended

[nocturne wolf]

Wraiths can spawn in wood houses at day but won't respawn

[leaden elbow]

haha some berries and stuff, any reccommendations to focus on making? (i got the cauldron and such)

[gray sand]

Jesus Christ..

[keen cliff]

jesus christ is right

[trail pelican]

early, poison resist mead

[gray sand]

Food is more important than gear.
One day I won't have to say it any more 😭

[leaden elbow]

you mean soup, its a soup

[nocturne wolf]

No, it's mead

[leaden elbow]

it looks like a soup

[keen cliff]

ALWAYS MAKE THE BEST FOOD YOU CAN WHEN YOU EXPLORE A BIOME FOR THE FIRST TIME

[trail pelican]

it does LOOK kinda like a soup in its base form lol

[gray sand]

No. He means mead.

[nocturne wolf]

You need to ferment it at a fermenter

[leaden elbow]

oh thanks

[nocturne wolf]

Fermenting takes two days, sleep at noon to skip the most time

[gray sand]

Look at the pins in this channel. You will find the food sheet that I wrote.

[leaden elbow]

we spent so much time building a new base and exploring we didnt really do a lot of preparing for hard stuff. 2x elder was a pain (i didnt know he doesnt despawn)

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing despawns unless spawned by a raid or night

[gray sand]

Again:

Food is more important than gear.

[old flint]

ill still go max armor and 2 stamina foods

[leaden elbow]

yeah i know, in theory. in reality i keep forgetting that

[nimble aurora]

aoe attacks are unblockable but can be dodged through, it’s possible to negate all poison dmg through rolling but the roll speed is slow so it wont let you dodge more than one at once

[leaden elbow]

so block logic is similar to god of war 2018 and ragnarok. really missing the red rings

[trail pelican]

I'd argue it's not ENITRELY clear actually it is more than (only) armor, BUT, it's a moot point practically because you always get access to better food than armor and it's close either way, so easiest IME is prioritize new food (cauldron upgrade mats to make too), and new armor, and then whatever else you want (usually a good weapon you like to main in the new biome)

[nocturne wolf]

Some aoes are blockable (such as a gjall projectile's explosion) but not blobs

[gray sand]

It's entirely clear because I say it every day.

/s

[leaden elbow]

alr thanks ill go continue dying now (while knowing what im supposed to do)

[gray sand]

Next to the food sheet I wrote you will find the blocking sheet that I also wrote.

[keen cliff]

you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him cook the best food

[gray sand]

No water. Only mead.

[nimble aurora]

deer stew, minced meat sauce and carrot soup (cooked fish is locked behind swamp now which sucks but oh well)

[nocturne wolf]

You could use deer stew, queens jam and carrot soup if you'd prefer more stamina

[nimble aurora]

if they’re dying a lot id say more health is problem the way to go

[gray sand]

Always enter a new biome with HHS imo.
Swap to HSS when you have biome-level food.

[nimble aurora]

itll give them higher block strength too

[nocturne wolf]

Cooked fish was a bad food within black forest anyway

[gray sand]

Lies. Slander.

[nimble aurora]

its 5hp better than minced meat

[keen cliff]

cooked fish isn't worth the effort in getting fish

[gray sand]

Libel.

[nimble aurora]

small benefit but worth it imo

[nocturne wolf]

Less health regen. +1 health per tick of health regen is worth it for -5 health

[nimble aurora]

wait can i rant real quick, i noticed this the other day and i hate it

[gray sand]

Fair trade given it costs only 1 thing to make.

[keen cliff]

even in my first playthrough when i didn't know shit, i never bothered with fish based food or sea serpent food

[nocturne wolf]

I don't fish but I always make serpent stew

And I might fish in my next playthrough for the new mead

[nimble aurora]

you can multicraft now right, provided you have 5 of the item. but if you go to craft 5 raw fish and youve caught both pike and perch, you need 5 of BOTH to do the multicraft, you cant do 5 of just one fish type

idk why but that really ticked me off

[nimble aurora]

well that was a mistake, serpent stew is the goat

[nimble aurora]

farming takes too long in this game, less carrots the better

[keen cliff]

i mean, i enjoyed my runs and have been very successful. So i would say it's not really a mistake. it's just not taking advantage of serpent stew. 🤷

[nimble aurora]

i think its just moreso how early you can get it

[gray sand]

Are you playing Valheim?

[nimble aurora]

if you play your cards right you can go into swamp with it

[nimble aurora]

im usually stuck waiting around for 3 days for my crops to grow so i can make new foods and keep exploring

[candid basalt]

We are farmers! Bum buh bumbum bum bum bum!

[nimble aurora]

unless im working on a build its not that enjoyable

[gray sand]

That sounds like lack of planning on your part 🤷‍♂️

[nimble aurora]

well i don’t usually like planting 3 carrot seeds the moment ive got them, id rather wait til i have 30

[keen cliff]

yeah, i've never had to WAIT for crops. unless it's when you first get the seeds

oh, i plant those 3 right away, and just keep adventuring and then get them going

[gray sand]

So it's definitely a self-inflicted issue.

[candid basalt]

Plant immediately, then plant carrots for more seeds

[nimble aurora]

i wasnt denying that 😅

its my monkey brain getting happy by seeing a bigger field full

[gray sand]

You were declaring that farming universally takes too long.
Which is false.

[candid basalt]

The minute I find a new biomes seeds that stuff gets planted

[keen cliff]

same

[nimble aurora]

i wish there was a way to speed it up

surely we could get like fertiliser or something

[keen cliff]

last run i actually spotted a cabin in the mountains early, and checked it for onion seeds. so had onions planting before swamp

[gray sand]

Again, are you playing Valheim?

[candid basalt]

Always love that

[nimble aurora]

it took me 3 mountain biomes to find onions on my last playthrough

every single chest had asstons of obsidian but never any seeds

[candid basalt]

Like when a new spawn has a mountain close to the start and manage to tame wolves before getting bronze

[keen cliff]

RNG can be the worst enemy in the game

[nimble aurora]

is there a way to speed it up that i dont know of?

[candid basalt]

Sleeping

[keen cliff]

sleep at noon, speeds up farming

[nimble aurora]

other than sleeping that is

[gray sand]

Had cabin, no onions but it did have Obsidian.
So I had max level workbench before Swamp 😁

[nimble aurora]

u need iron for the tool shelf tho?

[rotund parrot]

Latest playthrough, deathless on hard, saw 3 building on my way to the top, each had seed, got 31 onions seeds just getting a portal up there

[gray sand]

Just the act of wanting to speed things up -> Are you playing Valheim??

[nimble aurora]

i like shorter playthroughs thats just me

[gray sand]

That isn't Valheim.

[candid basalt]

Farming?! A man of your talents?

[nimble aurora]

im a busy guy i dont have a whole lot of time to play

[nimble aurora]

womp womp idk let me play how i want

[gray sand]

No one is stopping you.

[candid basalt]

Set sliders for more resources

Time takes the same but you get more for the effort

[nimble aurora]

true

[frigid gust]

I often run 1.5x solo, seems pretty balanced without too much grind

[nimble aurora]

i have experimented with it before but idk it just didnt seem as enjoyable

although i did try with 3x and that felt like way too much

[candid basalt]

I build a lot. Extra resources is very nice

[nimble aurora]

certainly sounds like you’re trying to but alr

[gray sand]

🤔

[nimble aurora]

building is really expensive, im lowkey considering using no build cost next time

but then knowing me ill get lazy and cheat in iron by just placing cage walls everywhere 😂

[frigid gust]

Yeah... 1.5x is nice because you can't like make troll armor from a single troll or a full set of weapons from a single sunken crypt, but you don't typically have to hit 4 swamps to get the gear, either.

It also makes building material farming feel "fair" for solo play. It's easy to make big structures without feeling like you need to spend multiple sessions grinding mats.

[keen cliff]

i might do 1.5x on my next playthrough. been 1x all this time

[frigid gust]

For sure. I do recommend 1x for new players, it helps really figure out the game as you're starting. But once you know the game, second or third or 15th playthrough, I find it feels about right at 1.5x.

[nimble aurora]

3x doesnt make resources gathering fun because yeah you can get a whole troll set from one troll, 1.5x is the happy medium i think. also nice for foraging for mushrooms, thistles (especially)

[nimble aurora]

17th rn 🫡 only got the game last yr too lol

[keen cliff]

oh, a run that starts with farming skill is also going to look very different

[nimble aurora]

true that

plus u can lvl it up just by spamming the ground with cultivator sooooo

[keen cliff]

well, assume the bugs are gone and you're not doing that

[candid basalt]

On our server we have 2x resources and that works well with 6 players

[keen cliff]

i guess if you want to spam cultivate to level you can. but even with just normal play it's going to give you more resources

still want that scythe to harvest mistlands crops dammit

[gray sand]

🎶 You can't always get what you want. 🎶

[plush umbra]

not much to ask for

[gray sand]

Hey, I ask for the smallest of things all the time and am continuously denied. 😋

[wide zenith]

Well i just raised ground to enter fortress and then squeezed into small hole to enter tower, that was fun

Blood or thunder axes?

[gray sand]

Both.

[keen cliff]

this is the way i always do it.

[keen cliff]

imo, thunder axes. or maybe jade

[wide zenith]

I don't like root effect, doesn't seem efficient to me

[gray sand]

Never go green on melee.

If you're making only 1 pair, blue is probably best all-around.

[keen cliff]

i've seen how much damage the axes can do to a rooted enemy however. it made lord reto trivial on a video i watched

[gray sand]

But making one of each is my recommendation.

[keen cliff]

yeah, one of each is probably the way to go. the video i saw was rooting him with the mace, then switch to lightning axes to smash him down

[gray sand]

Blue for groups. Red for single target.

[keen cliff]

meh. i would do red for ripper, maybe

but that's single target, yeah

[wide zenith]

Huh? Arbalest can also be elemental?

[keen cliff]

the ripper

[gray sand]

This is the Ashlands.
Everything can be elemental.

[wide zenith]

That's sick af

[keen cliff]

i stuck a stone on my codpiece. it's now lightning baby

[wide zenith]

But that makes me even sadder for knife i will never get

[keen cliff]

ride the lightning

[gray sand]

The fuck?

No...

[keen cliff]

lol

[trail pelican]

i'm not sure, but I kind of have a sneaking suspicion that the gems might be used in Deep North too

[rotund parrot]

Surely it will unlock new upgrade to upgrade our weapons further, what I suspect is another source of those gems too

[trail pelican]

based upon really nothing, I have even stronger suspicion Deep North will have versions of all the weapons

except maybe like fists getting shafted (i hope not)

[keen cliff]

i think it's a good bet. i'm going to save some, that's for sure

i'll put $5 on my bet of DN having a version of every weapon type

though maybe not fists lol

[trail pelican]

definitely at least the already coded weapon levels for Ashlands enchanted (each of which consumes more of the base gems) that currently are gated behind non-existent station upgrades, at LEAST

PLEASE don't do fists like that--I know it's sort of a 'meme' status weapon class, BUT IT'S SUCH A GOOD MEME DAMNNIT!

[keen cliff]

maybe 1.0 will give a better fist weapon progression

so you can be fisting all through the game

[cosmic igloo]

do wisp lights last forever?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[cosmic igloo]

dope af

do enemies attack wisp torches?

[plush umbra]

no, but they also don't spawnproof

[keen cliff]

they do if they can't get to you

[plush umbra]

(and are already aggrod)

[keen cliff]

in my experience they attack them when they are throwing a hissy fit

[cosmic igloo]

aight so they are just like any other structure?

[plush umbra]

enemies do that to everything built by a player

[keen cliff]

right

[cosmic igloo]

alright

[keen cliff]

i remember shooting a seeker soldier from a spot he couldn't get me. so in his rage he went around smashing all my wisp torches like a big baby

[plush umbra]

yyeepp 😅 that's gotta be a bit annoying to clean up

[old flint]

im going against fader soon.. idk what to expectt other than fire

[nocturne wolf]

All of his melee attacks are pierce, and he has meteors with a low blunt damage

[old flint]

Im bringing both green and blue melee weapons, and the fire sword and ton of potions

[trail pelican]

bring a berzerkir potion stack

[nocturne wolf]

And lightfoot mead and tonic of ratatosk

[old flint]

ill make the berzerkir one too. it seems essetial after I read the info

[nocturne wolf]

The weakness to pierce damage will be overriden by the root harnesk, just be very careful with other enemies because they'll have other damage types

[old flint]

Can I bring feather cape too? Or should I get the ash one

[nocturne wolf]

Feather cape

[rotund parrot]

Ash, you don't want to jump and if you do you don't want to stay in the air being slow for long

[nocturne wolf]

Fissure (his strongest attack, with spikes coming from the ground) has a much taller hitbox than it looks. And it has friendly fire

[wide zenith]

Wait, dundr is magic shotgun?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, that's exactly what it is

[wide zenith]

lmao

[old flint]

Would shield generator be helpful against fader?

[keen cliff]

no point

[old flint]

ehh Is there a way to un anger the dvergr

[vital umbra]

helo chat

[merry pebble]

Nope

[vital umbra]

pay me money and i'll help

[nocturne wolf]

They won't be angry when they're dead

[old flint]

I just used that method, turns out that there was a dvergr house next to faders spawn and I wanted my portal there

[nocturne wolf]

It's your house now

[old flint]

property value going up

[cosmic igloo]

sooo is it a big deal if i kill the dvergs in the tower? so i can get sap extractor mat

like, will other dvergs that arent here also attack me when they see me?

[merry pebble]

Nope, others will still be friendly

[cosmic igloo]

aight father forgive me for what im about to do

[old flint]

Imma send a screenshot of my gear regarding fader chall, please someone check it at #screenshots

[cosmic igloo]

damn thaat was sad af

[nocturne wolf]

It's perfect!

[old flint]

Ive also built campfires around it and destroyed spawners..

[fossil oar]

There are ways to get the extractor without killing them
There are also ways to get them killed without doing it yourself
Just gotta be a little creative

[nocturne wolf]

That's not as fun though

[cosmic igloo]

ya i did some stuff with cart before, but cba

just kill em innit

[trail pelican]

it's honestly the intended progression I think, just a lot of the community (myself included) a SMIDGE hesitant to kill one of the few thing in Valheim that doesn't wanna kill us immediately on sight

[fossil oar]

Im a fan of the eitr strategy

[trail pelican]

which is why it's of course way more humane to lure a gjall in to do the wet work for you

[cosmic igloo]

exactly

[fossil oar]

As long as there isnt a lantern mage...

No idea why they made those guys so strong lmao

[trail pelican]

a health diet of wheaties growing up, presumably

[nocturne wolf]

Barlies?

[old flint]

great, I hung the first bell at faders altar and got the ashlands skeleton raid

[cosmic igloo]

why do some of the dvergs say "you're taller than i remember"? how can they remember me?

[nocturne wolf]

It's good you got it now, before the fight

[noble flint]

Hi all! I can't find the reference but is the crafting tables-item duplication chance a bug or apart of the update?

[old flint]

I accidenally popped bonemass tho

[nocturne wolf]

With the root harnesk, bonemass won't be doing much in the fight. Their pierce resistances don't stack.

[old flint]

oh

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-patchnotes

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need a power, but if you really want to be as prepared as possible I'd reccomend eikthyr

[old flint]

brother what a joke

I just died to the fader spawning on top of me

[trail pelican]

goddamn lol

[old flint]

I got the first hits and booooom you died

when it materialized

[vocal rivet]

Heh. Why did you stand in the middle of the arena?

[trail pelican]

bonemass + berzerkir, and tell us if it's as broke even on Fader as people seem to keep saying

[old flint]

for the first free hits

[trail pelican]

apparently not so free

[vocal rivet]

Lol.

[noble flint]

So it not being listed as a feature means its a bug? (sorry for the dumb Q)

[trail pelican]

wellll, i think they HAVE also done the other thing (accidentally forgot to list intended features on notes) before

[vocal rivet]

Wait, they've NOT put it in the patch notes? My apologies for the confusion then.

[patent wren]

It's not. I actually meant to mention to you yesterday but forgot in the midst of all the other convos, it's not mentioned on the wiki either. (Presumably because it's not mentioned in the patch notes.) The patch notes only refer to the additional produce harvest and additional food from the cooking skill.

[noble flint]

"* New skill: Crafting - Reduces the time it takes to craft items and increases the durability of crafting items. Reduces the stamina cost of placing build pieces." -Nothing about duplicated items for free, just crops and food

[trail pelican]

yeah EITHER unintentional bug OR unintentional omission from patch notes, but def one of the two

[vocal rivet]

I'm sure it's an intentional feature.

[patent wren]

I imagine it would have been corrected during the PTB phase if it wasn't intended, yeah. Or addressed in the hotfix.

[noble flint]

Thank you!

[old flint]

ok idk what happened, a meteor attack started doing like 50 dmg per hit at suffen

[dense rapids]

(Without giving me spoilers) Shouldnt there be any hint from Huggin about the Bog witch?

Or is it just, you'll find it when you find it?

[gleaming musk]

I think its just you'll find it when you find it 🤔

[dense rapids]

Both Haldor and Hildir have a Hugin message about "in an area not unlike this one", so maybe when I get to the right biome

[keen cliff]

sheesh. FINALLY found the start of the mysterious locations in Ashlands. I think it was the 7th putrid hole

[digital nexus]

guys. is there a problem if i make a chicken coop with stone floor? like a building with stone floor with the chickens inside

or does they have an issue with that? some friends told me that i need to be careful with the heat source because they can cook themselves in it... but they didn't know if there was a problem with stone floor

[keen cliff]

stone floor is fine

[trail pelican]

technically you only even need heat sources if your intention is to hatch the eggs--if your intention is to just lay eggs, they just need to be fed (the heat source if anything a detriment to that because it might hatch eggs you don't want hatching)

[patent wren]

You just don't want them to get too close to the actual fire source, and the roof needs to be high enough for smoke to escape so they don't choke on it. Hanging braziers are popular for hens because you can put it somewhere they can't step near it and thus won't walk into the flames like addled moths. Walls also don't block the warming effect of fire, so you can just put it on the other side of a wall if you want.

[old flint]

I just beat fader, died 3 times. 1 was when it spawned on me

it took a while, but imo that boss can only stall the fight nothing else

[vital umbra]

why the hell is my stone throne breaking instantly when i try to place it down.

[oak river]

It needs to be supported well. Like it can't be on a wood floor

[vital umbra]

bruh

i actually hate the support system in this game sometimes 😭

[oak river]

If you want it on a wood floor you could support it with an iron beam or two

Like connecting it to the ground

[vital umbra]

its on a second story 😩

[patent wren]

dedicated stone pillar through the first floor just for your throne? 😂

[vital umbra]

i have to fill up more space on the first floor and make some random pillar then

[oak river]

Imo raven throne looks cooler anyways

[patent wren]

if the walls are stone, an iron pillar sticking out from them should (...I'm pretty sure) offer support as well, so you can put those along the floorboard to where you want your throne... or move your throne room to the first floor 😅

[vital umbra]

isn't the stone throne more comfort

[oak river]

I don't think

[patent wren]

All thrones provide the same level of comfort

Recommend checking the wiki's comfort page if you're looking for max comfort

[vital umbra]

bruh 👹...i also prefer the looks of the raven throne..

[patent wren]

well, congrats! now you don't need a fucked up house pillar, lol

[old flint]

Just build a tallass pillar outside and put a throne on top of it, so you can see your whole kingdom

[vital umbra]

Not gonna have a kingdom for a long time because i am way too lazy...i am going to build the most minimalistic utilitarian cramped cozy fucking space possible

i still want it to look good though, but i'm going to have basically every crafting thing in the same room, upstairs is one room with comfort items storage and portals.

i need another fire for cooking...i can probably make like a horizontal vent for smoke right..?

[patent wren]

you can use a roof piece to shuffle the smoke out, yeah. but it won't drift sideways on its own

[vital umbra]

could make it connect to the fireplace maybe

do birch trees planted in the plains still look completely emerald green

i literally have a block against chopping them down cuz the golden ones looks soo purrty

[nova garnet]

@vital umbra technically you don't need to vent smoke. As long as the 'tunnel' thw smoke filters into is 3 walls high or i belive 9 of the 1/2 inch floor widespread out (like a floor gap between levels) it won't go out. I have two fire places stacked in my chimney but I don't vent either. They stay lit all the time. Youtube has several videos on how to deal with smoke in valheim

[vital umbra]

i found some of the infamous ground lines

[lunar sapphire]

I do recommend venting. In moderation ofc

[gray sand]

@old flint because Tasty Mead is unquestionably better.

[vital umbra]

and stamina meads can still be used

there is no con

[gray sand]

Also I wouldn't carry all my food with me.

[old flint]

I made tons, in a chest.

[nova garnet]

@patent wren @digital nexus I built my hen farm up one half floor and put a fire pit on ground level. As long as you leave an opening at character height you can had wood to it and no hens get lit on fire.

[gray sand]

Throw the stamina pots in the Obliterator and make Tasty.

[old flint]

No need, already beat fader

[vital umbra]

😾

[old flint]

Time for another playthrough

[vital umbra]

That would have been a waste in more ways than one

[vital umbra]

prob cuz of the stamina meads 🫢

[gray sand]

Yes. The first waste was making them to begin with.
Second waste is Obliterating them.

"A waste in more ways than one."

😏😉

[old flint]

They were handy a couple times when I was stuck under Fader and he used the spike attack

[vital umbra]

cloudberries and yellow mushrooms, oh the horror.

i will continue to use stamina mead, craft bronze weapons, parry not roll, and not use the root harnesk, purely to prove a point 🤬

and no mixing magic with melee either

[nocturne wolf]

Why roll if you can jump?

[vital umbra]

I will roll for lord reto, about it.

fucker deals three hundred thousand damage

[old flint]

Retos the current final boss of Valheim ngl

[nocturne wolf]

He’s just a blue charred warrior

[vital umbra]

yeah

i died like twice to fader, and maybe 6 times to reto

[gray sand]

F5
spawn Reto 5

😏

[nocturne wolf]

Spawn charred_melee_dyrnwyn 5 3, they need the stars

[lunar sapphire]

@dreamy kiln any reason you're so difficult?

[nocturne wolf]

He’s just better

[dreamy kiln]

😎

who summoned the lord?

[lunar sapphire]

Me, deal with it ❤️

[dreamy kiln]

❤️

dealed 😄

[vital umbra]

hi

[lunar sapphire]

Perfect, now answer my question 😛

[dreamy kiln]

good question.. hhmm

well, i have a reward 😛

Hi Obi-Ron

[vital umbra]

the horde is attacking 😩

[dreamy kiln]

call the alliance then \o/

[vital umbra]

in 1100 hours this is the first time

[lunar sapphire]

Closes Valheim and plays Stardew Valley

[dreamy kiln]

😱

[vital umbra]

its alright i have some stamina potions

[lunar sapphire]

Thank you for your time, enjoy your cave

[dreamy kiln]

hehe

[gray sand]

Closes farming game to play farming game?

[odd helm]

They're both capable of cozy, just wildly different kinds

[lunar sapphire]

Cozy = accurately parrying/predicting charred warrior attacks

[vital umbra]

i have beaten the horde, my stamina potion won me that.

[lunar sapphire]

remind me, horde is the an ashlands raid?

[nocturne wolf]

Fulings

[gray sand]

Horde is the FedEx of blackmetal.

[vital umbra]

it felt so good to see my stamina come back that fast when i used a stamina mead that i purposefully crafted and wanted to use anyways ✨

i sure did like tasty mead for awhile but damn am i glad i used this instead it is so much more satisfying anyways..

[trail pelican]

what do folks think about (not the way it is now, to my knowledge, rather changing it to be this way) the yggdrasil root approaching the world closer and closer with each forsaken killed (or maybe each forsaken trophy mounted on the sacrificial stones)?

[lunar sapphire]

Would valheim be moving closer or the tree somehow moving closer

too many variables. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense

[nocturne wolf]

It’s probably not the best idea to bring the forsaken any closer to yggdrasil

[onyx pier]

I like the idea of the trees branches growing as the player does stuff tho. Not sure what the end result would be tho

[lunar sapphire]

Oh, the time is...no idea cos I can't see the sun/moon

[vital umbra]

aren't the forsaken the ones causing it? so wouldn't it have the reverse effect?

[trail pelican]

oh good point @vital umbra

so reverse that then--what if it got SMALLER and SMALLER (i.e. appeared to get further and further away, I imagine in game it would just scale down the asset to implmenet) with each forsaken eliminated?

[warm sandal]

Odin cut the 10th world loose not the forsaken... so killing them reversing something that the forsaken did makes no sense... at least that is what I understand

[vital umbra]

wat

the forsaken haven't did'ed anything, they are in the process of doing.

[trail pelican]

from what i understand lore is the forsaken are causing it to creep back towards reconnecting with the branch

[lunar sapphire]

done* ?

[trail pelican]

(that Odin originally severed it from)

[vital umbra]

boring

[trail pelican]

just a random thought that occurred inspired by some of the lore talk earlier plus my love of little things like that in games that show a real impact on the world from player actions cumulatively through a playthrough

y'all remember the Majora's mask moon? lol

[signal bloom]

so I had a flametal vein that was half mined I was working on before the recent patch.

I loaded in to go mine the rest and it was gone 😦 '/sad viking noises'

[wooden tapir]

um, where do you make meads now?

[fair kindle]

the Forsaken could also just be biding their time, as the roots on Valheim are still very much alive and do grow new shoots 🤔

Actually, how come they're only in Mistlands (from a lore standpoint)? 👀

[trail pelican]

you still ferment in fermenters but now (post bog watch) gotta make the new "mead ketill"

[fair kindle]

you make the bases in the mead ketil (a new crafting station similar to the cauldron), and finish them in fermenters

[wooden tapir]

oh i see

[trail pelican]

you should get access to mats for it in the same age tho--bronze

is Mistlands the Eitr Age, the Magic Age, or something else entirely?

[oak river]

I mean what's the mountain and plains age?

And Ashlands age

[plush umbra]

i'd just separate progression by the biomes, since that's what the game itself does

[trail pelican]

silver, blackmetal, and flametal ages, respectivealy

[wooden tapir]

well it took me only 30 nights, but i finally found the 2 star askvin

[trail pelican]

lol that's the most clear, logical, obvious way--but we have these fun played made up "ages" commonly used to refer to them too, so I was just wondering "what would the mistlands one be called" because all the others seem FAIRLY self-evident and some i've even seen others using before

[hasty grove]

I HAVE ARRIVED! Hi everybody, ain't been playing for a while, how's the new content

And anyway, I call mistlands the brain age personally XD

[wooden tapir]

funnily enough it snuck up on me, i wasnt even aware it was a 2 star due to the fog until it was right up on me, luckily i reacted in time with bonemass and it didnt kill me

[azure yacht]

Magical age

[gray sand]

Forage Age
Carrot Age
Turnip Age
Onion Age
Barley Age
Mushroom Age
Vineberry Age

[trail pelican]

this is all accurate

[hasty grove]

A sound and accurate definition of the progression tiers XD

[trail pelican]

Forage Age <--- hunter-gatherer/subsistence age

[kind pendant]

Guys in the ashlands, what weapon is better, ||slayer or nidhogg||

[gray sand]

||Neither|| because you should ||pick whichever|| you personally ||feel like playing with.||

[azure yacht]

Stone age

[wooden tapir]

what about the "where even am i stage" when you first drop in

[kind pendant]

Fair enough, big sword just looks SO sick

[gray sand]

Then you should ||use|| that one.

[civic escarp]

what are most people using today for a valheim server? Gportal appears to not have valheim now?

[azure yacht]

I always liked that each tier was unofficially named "ages" when devs probably never referred to them as such.

People just started calling them that way and it stuck

[fair kindle]

i feel like magic age has a pretty good ring to it, and is the most significant 'discovery' so to speak 👀

[civic escarp]

at least its not showing up on their website rn

[kind pendant]

Already started nidhogg, but man

[azure yacht]

Makes it seem like we are actually advancing technologically

[hasty grove]

Honestly I have my own dedicated server on a docker virtual machine

[pure ermine]

What happens once you've raided every fortress on your server but still need gems?

[azure yacht]

Create another world and raid again

[pure ermine]

fair enough, hopefully they implement something like defeat fader and he drops a couple or so.

[nocturne wolf]

Deep north could have renewable gemstones, but I think it’s good to keep them limited at the point where they’re most useful, it makes them feel more valuable.

[pure ermine]

its more of an issue though when you have a large party and only want to stay on your own world

[gray sand]

I doubt they are going to add a renewable source given you can just world-hop.

Multiplayer issues are "meh" given they themselves have stated this is a single-player game that just happens to have co-op.

[hasty grove]

I would guess deep north would get other gems

[nocturne wolf]

This might mean too many items but what if we get new gems in deep north and then make new gemstone weapons using a combination of one deep north and one ashland gem?

[pure ermine]

This would be my assumption too.

[nocturne wolf]

Some systems would have to be changed because one new item for each of these would be inefficient

[rotund parrot]

More of the same 3 we already have I assume they mean

[gleaming musk]

Damn on Mistlands your inventory really fills up till the last slot

[umbral lance]

did they ever fix the abyssmal drop rate of the gems for multiplayer? I was on a server with 8 people and we found 22 gems from the entire ashlands...

[nocturne wolf]

Gems don’t scale with multiplayer. You can increase the resource rate if you need more gems.

[umbral lance]

Ok, so I guess the question then is what amount of players does the default resource rate drop gems for if you complete the entire Ashlands? Previously, it was like enough for 1-3 people

[nocturne wolf]

The entire game is primarily balanced for singleplayer

[rotund parrot]

No way, I played solo on a single map, made most weapons, some 2 type of them, upgraded all of them, made all the staffs, and I have like 40 gems to spare

Surely that would be enough gem for 10 people

[azure yacht]

That it does sound like bloating

I'm heavily expecting we will get gems for the three other remaining elements (frost, fire and spirit). And spirit is a "maybe"

[nocturne wolf]

I’m not too sure about it either, I just don’t want an identical to system to ashlands

[azure yacht]

No combinations, ashlands gems are ashlands gems and DN gems are DN gems

[umbral lance]

It sounds like maybe the drop rates have improved then? That's more than all of us got combined before...

[azure yacht]

They haven't

[rotund parrot]

You know there's most often multiple islands down there?

[azure yacht]

And around 20 fortresses in a single world

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe the gems could go on armor instead?

[azure yacht]

That would be a nice-to-have but i don't expect it

[rotund parrot]

Most of the gem I got at the beginning, just finished raiding all the fortresses later

[umbral lance]

oh yeah we had ~20 forts and each one had 0-2 gems in it

[azure yacht]

Except the "instead" part

[keen cliff]

0-2 gems each fortress is low, i think. i've raided 5 fortresses, and only one fortress had 0. and i would say more average may have been closer to 3

but i guess RNG is gonna RNG

[rotund parrot]

From many playthrough probably about 40 fortresses in total on 1x my own experience is getting about 2.5 gems per fortress

[nimble moss]

does Staff of the Wild upgrades affect the roots that spawn? Or are the roots the same dmg regardless of staff lvl?

[keen cliff]

from wiki, it appears that the roots are the same damage no matter level . it just affects the initial damage the staff projectile does

but it's a big increase. i think it starts at 20, and level 2 is 40 for example

[long locust]

today I learned the frost staff is amazing for serpent hunting

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, they’re saved to the character so they can be used anywhere

Their trophy has to be placed on the sacrificial stones in the world you’re currently playing in

[simple anchor]

Do we really gain more EXP for skills when well rested?

[nocturne wolf]

Rested gives +50% skill gain

[keen cliff]

Rested and food: the most important things.

[nimble aurora]

high tier armor dont matter if u dont eat

[ionic iron]

Berserkir Meads are strong, but is it intentional to only make three from one base?

[oak river]

Yeah it's intentional. The devs probably just don't want them to be cheap

[ionic iron]

Only reason I ask is all other meads are 6

[wooden tapir]

is it normal for 1 particular event to be the most common?

i feel like 50% of my raids are "shes hot on your tail"

doesnt sound like a lot but with there being like 10 different events

its a lot

[gray sand]

Many events get disabled as you progress.

[vital umbra]

there it is

[keen cliff]

i know some of you like to downplay taming mobs, but MAN, hatching 40 1star askvins in any spot in the Ashlands makes it super chill. highly recommended

[craggy mason]

You don't use the cauldron for fish anymore ?

[gray sand]

You don't use it for fish or meads.

Fish are on the prep table now.

[craggy mason]

so I can't cook fish until the iron age

[gray sand]

If you choose to break the game into ages, yes.

[nimble aurora]

cooked fish in black forest is over 😭

[wise latch]

Multicraft gives proportional xp right?

[keen cliff]

from what i've heard, yes. however, it only gives you 1 chance of proccing an extra item

[wide zenith]

Morgen have weakspot?

Lol i had thought about same situation yesterday
#screenshots message

[gray sand]

Time for Bonemass vs. Iron Spear.

[wide zenith]

Thunder berserkir axes + bonemass, cleared whole fortress in like 20 sec

[high lynx]

Such a tragic when you left you gate open before you quit the game for the night,then you logged back in but didn't pay attention to the game because you are watching FK yt and big fat blue guy(s) unwelcomely walked into your home and introduced you to his big stick. (Video is at #memes-and-clips )

[wintry valve]

I am not enjoying the mistland

[gray sand]

So Bonemass takes the entire durability of 2 Iron Spears to beat 😄

[keen cliff]

i mean... he's very resistant to pierce. so that makes sense lol. you should get an achievment for that one

Achievement Earned: Screw this guy, he's getting stabbed

[gray sand]

Spear level went from 50 -> 60 from one boss, so that's an achievement in my book.

[random kayak]

I don't know if this has happened to you guys but I

• Make a smithing outpost
• Unlock new stuff
• Expand the new outpost
• Realize that you need more space
• Expand it even more
• it's no longer an outpost... But a Fortress

[gray sand]

Have never made an outpost, so no.

[random kayak]

Also what the heck does a mead ketill do?

[gray sand]

Makes mead bases that you put in the Fermenter.

[random kayak]

Oh

I don't remember the ketill being a thing

[gray sand]

They added it with Bog Witch.
Same with the Prep Table.

Cauldron was overloaded with way too much shit, so they split some of it out.

[nimble aurora]

spears only run is bold af man

[random kayak]

Its pointy asf actually

[tidal coral]

Hey

Has anyone completed Valheim yet?

Can i have your save:<

[sweet bay]

you mean killed last boss? 10s of thousands people I think

[tidal coral]

Can i have your charater save

[sweet bay]

I haven't killed even 6th boss (and there are 7 currently)

[tepid prawn]

you would not be able to repair the gear

unless you get the world too, and then all is done why do you want a save like that instead of playing through the game

[tidal coral]

Its very hard for me:((

[nimble aurora]

just go into world modifiers and lower difficulty to easy

youll be alright

[subtle perch]

hello, a question. How do you play with people online in valheim nowdays?

[feral sentinel]

someone wants to play valheim? new world and needs to be from poland 12+

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[leaden elbow]

how the fuck do i survive the swamp. I got food. i got mead. i got lvl4 troll armor. but they keep ignoring the attacks and all my parries/blocks stagger me instead. I got a fucking bronze shield.

in day, rested, enemies everywhere

why is it so difficult. the spike is crazy

[merry pebble]

what food do you have?

[gray sand]

I am leveling other weapons as well. Just testing the attspd of spears on bosses. You can get 9 hits in between swipes on Bonemass.

[sweet bay]

Troll armor isn't the best in terms of armor, you can have bronze. The difference isn't that big though

[leaden elbow]

movement

i dont like bronze

[leaden elbow]

all the stuff in lvl cauldron and mead thing

[sweet bay]

Well, either evade attacks or use more hp food to not be staggered

[gray sand]

Bronze ftw

[sweet bay]

How easily you're staggered depends on max hp.
If you can parry trolls, you should be able to parry most swamp enemies though

[merry pebble]

So carrot soup, queens jam and deer stew?

[leaden elbow]

died when i was using my last carrot soup

[leaden elbow]

parry trolls. what.

[sweet bay]

Almost all non-starred swamp creatures have under 60 attack on average (all having over 60 actually do most if not all damage as poison, which doesn't stagger and is easily reduced by the potion)

[sweet bay]

What's exactly the problem? I mean one cannot parry trolls with meadows gear/food and only bronze shield, but later... it's pretty doable.

[leaden elbow]

i cant block or parry shit with processed food

high hp means i cant attack since no stamina, also

[sweet bay]

Well, you need to advance through swamp slowly. Pick enemies one by one

[merry pebble]

Usually HHS or SSH diet works pretty good

[leaden elbow]

they dont attack one by one, they gangbang my ass

2 types of abominations

[sweet bay]

who exactly? I think it should be possible to handle 2-3 skeletons at once, even in swamp

[leaden elbow]

groups of draugr and the actual abomination

[warm sandal]

The most important thing to remember... Valheim is no hack and slash game... it is a survival... so food and armor is of utmost importance..and go slow with the enemies 😄

[leaden elbow]

fucking draugr, skeletons die easy

[sweet bay]

well, 2 abominations is scary even for late swamp gear

[nimble aurora]

movement speed yeah

[nocturne wolf]

Jump over the draugr attack and hit a secondary on the way down if you can’t parry them

[sweet bay]

do not run around too much

[leaden elbow]

i walk

[sweet bay]

How did you get 2 abominations on you...
You need to move around the swamp 3 times slower on average.

[leaden elbow]

swimming in the swamp water ruins me

[nimble aurora]

yeah they have a max spawn rate in any given swamp chunk

2 in a small area is next to impossible unless it was on the edge of each zone

[nocturne wolf]

You can use a hoe’s level ground tool to make the water less deep if there’s no way around

Do you have healing and/or stamina meads?

[sweet bay]

Do not swim, stay on the ground. I swim there like 1-2% of the time — when going around takes too much time

[nocturne wolf]

Which enemies are staggering you? What level is your buckler?

[leaden elbow]

level 1 buckler since i have no more bronze. does it make that much of a difference?

day 70 -90 were all getting copper and tin. Still not enough

[nocturne wolf]

A level 3 buckler will have 75% more block armor
This increase is less significant on later shields though

[nimble aurora]

u gotta take advantage of the parry bonus, lvl 3 buckler can parry a 2 star draugr

[warm sandal]

I am trying out things here... switched to a full mage build 😄 gathering the tissue I need going forward (and the carapace for that matter) having fun as heck... it remains to be found how well i will do as a mage build in the ashlands though 😄

[gray sand]

Gotta level that swim skill though 😉

[pliant hatch]

I do hope you're mining out the entire copper vein, leaving that big pit?
And not just mining the part of the vein that's above the surface?
One copper vein should give 90-ish copper.
Two veins is usually enough to craft and upgrade the nails, cultivator, bronze axe, bronze sword, bronze mace and bronze buckler.

[leaden elbow]

UNDER THE SURFACE?

me and my sister just mine until theres no more "copper deposit" on the cursor anywhere

2 stacks on a good day

what about tin, does it have a secret underground base too

15 veins mined so far in total

maybe 5-8 stacks of copper in like 70 days (not constant mining=

[pliant hatch]

Yes.
If you mine around that copper vein you will see how large it is.
Make sure it's not connected to anything around it, then start mining it until it pops. You should get 90-ish copper and about 250 stone from that.

Tin only has the small deposit you see along the shore. Each giving you 3-4 tin.

[leaden elbow]

fuuucckkk

okay so thats a good thing, but still annoying i didnt know before

i know of like 15 copper deposit locations, tin will be difficult i guess

[pliant hatch]

The thing with copper is, because of the way it's set up, you will get the idea that you're done when only seeing stone. But the copper is a big node with layers of copper and stone, so as soon the copper is gone players may get the impression it's "empty" and leave.
While there's still a lot to be found under the surface.

Mining around it to expose the entire thing - you'll end up 6-8 metres deep - is the way to go.

[pliant hatch]

No worries about that. You're not the first one not knowing - I didn't know it until it was told me either - and you won't be the last one not knowing it.

[random kayak]

Does the Mead barrel need a roof to work?

[nocturne wolf]

It needs a roof and some walls, like a workbench

[gray sand]

I believe it needs to be "sheltered." There are multiple ways to accomplish that.

Because you can do it without roof pieces.

[light drift]

Excuse me what????????

[gray sand]

Copper veins are massive and go about 6-8m into the ground beyond what you usually see.

[light drift]

I'm going to throw an absolute fit.

[gray sand]

Enjoy.

[dark dirge]

why my friends get discconected when i leave the game?

[azure yacht]

If it's not dedicated, the world closes if the host leaves

[dark dirge]

how do i get dedicated server?

[nocturne wolf]

Open the steam library and at the top of the games list find the button to enable 'tools'. Then, find valheim dedicated server in your library, install it, and follow instruction in the manual pdf file found in the installation folder.

[random kayak]

That is an interesting pfp

[dark dirge]

thanks

[warm sandal]

Gonna go and kill a Queen wish me luck

Good luck! 💪

I can't post there

In that case, head to id:customize and set your roles in there.
After that you can post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 without a problem.

Was she bugging you?

not at all... I did not need a single mead... now I need to prepare to go to the south.. .build Drakkar and am gathering stuffs to take with me 😄

[tacit crystal]

Obliterated with Ember staff, correct?

[warm sandal]

nope... mistwakerr, arbaleste and demolisher... 😄 decided to play it save with that monster 😄 a little emberstaffing was involved and protection staffing 😄

put in a break in the middle of the spires to repair the boat (soooo many vultures) and sleep overnight to get to the shores for landfall not right at nightfall 😄

[rotund parrot]

Before getting in the hot water I like to scout from a distance to spot where the islands are. That make sure I land on a big island and make it so that I need to travel the least distance through the spires.

[warm sandal]

easier said than done... can not make out any land from outside the spires ... have to be doing it blind...

[rotund parrot]

Might have something to do with render distance because I can always see the land masses from outside the hot water

[lavish bone]

how do i get roots on quickly

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands Roots?

[warm sandal]

iugh going back to the midwayportal there is an ashstorm going on... nope sir... we gonna build a swamp Portalhouse at home.. not going there in an ashstorm 😄

[long locust]

protection staff is the single reason I swapped to mage, that thing is so good

most likely gonna be fighting queen with my assortment of staves + himminafl for when I'm waiting on eitr regen, we'll see

[warm sandal]

I usually use 1-1-1 food and go with the staffs i can not do supermuch with it then but can have bubble 😄 and hit tthem buggers with melee weapons 😄

[tacit crystal]

I read "burgers" first, I must be a bit hungry

[long locust]

I find that as mage I tend to not need nearly as much stamina as normal since all my attacks are from eitr, allows me to go for 2 eitr foods and either 1 health food or a feast for balanced stam/health

[warm sandal]

if i go mage i go 2eitr and one health... di do not feel comfy with such a small health bar 😄

[long locust]

I hope the mistlands feast gives eitr... I don't wanna have to continue producing mass amounts of seeker aspic and stuffed mushies

oh neither did I at first, til I realized the blood staff was basically an extra 200 HP at rank 0 blood magic

so long as I keep an eye on my barrier I can basically ignore shields and health altogether

[tacit crystal]

2 Eitr and Mistlands Feast should be quite good for Eitr users.

[long locust]

just realized I've already made 110 ratatosk mead... I have a problem

I may or may not enjoy stupid amounts of run speed

[tacit crystal]

You and I, we have severe Ratatosk tonic dependence.

[long locust]

fenris + ratatosk just feels too good

I can casually sprint across my entire island base in around 30 seconds

[tacit crystal]

Add Asksvin Cape to that.

[long locust]

can't yet, still in mistlands

once I do though, I'm gonna run so fast I die to any cliff I run off

[tacit crystal]

Ratatosk tonic living rent free in my inventory.

[long locust]

I wish there were a way to get blue jute without fighting or cheesing dvergr towers

just let me buy red & blue jute from hildir boom, instant moneysink

[warm sandal]

i get it by leading all the mobs to them and let them do the dverger killing 😄 the gjall do a thourough job of destroying stuff so you can pick up anything with out repercussions form the dverger 😄

[warm sandal]

i like the red jute better anyways and that is easily obtained from the frost caves 😄

[long locust]

I also like the red jute more, but sometimes the blue jute just fits better in a way the red jute cant

I love putting blue jute carpet underneath my round tables, and putting those curtains on pretty much any area without windows that needs some detailing

[dusky sparrow]

yo me and my guy is looking for people for a new vanilla server

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 There you should find some.

[upbeat crypt]

does it make a ding sound when your farming skill triggers?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, you get the bonus yield when you hear the sound.

[elder stone]

Is there a setting to remove death penalty now?

[pearl shale]

Are burial chambers safe to afk when cleared ?

nvm just got assaulted by a skeleton

[merry pebble]

They are if cleared properly 😄 mobs in there do not respawn

[pearl shale]

Can bone remains trigger respawn ?

[long locust]

yes

[pearl shale]

oh

[long locust]

you need to remove any evil bone piles in there before it's completely empty

[tacit crystal]

There is a slider that can change the penalty easier (but not remove it) - the easiest option you lose only 1% of skill levels and you keep items that are equipped while others remain in tombstone.

[elder stone]

thanks!

When was that slider option added? late 2023?

[tacit crystal]

During Hildir's Quest patch in Summer 2023.

[elder stone]

default penalty was 5% skill loss before?

[tacit crystal]

On Normal setting, yes.

[elder stone]

cool, thanks for the info

[tacit crystal]

Death penalty is 1% on casual and easy setting, casual is the easiest setting with keeping the equipped items.

[long locust]

bruh... the scythe doesn't work on Jotun Puffs

[merry pebble]

nope, unfortunately not at the moment

[vocal rivet]

Wouldn't make any sense to, IMO. Though I know I'm probably in a minority.

[rotund parrot]

It works on tubers

Mushrooms you actually cut so it would make a lot more sense

[merry pebble]

I mean... it makes more sense than carrots, turnips and onions 😄

[long locust]

yeah... realism wasn't really a concern with the scythe lol

[vocal rivet]

Didn't know you were a dev.

[long locust]

just an observation, pretty sure irl farmers don't harvest tubers with a cutting tool

[vocal rivet]

Almost certainly not.

[long locust]

really glad my island has quite a few cloudberries on it, been using them a lot for the plains feast and salads

[vocal rivet]

Cloudberries are weirdly plentiful.

[long locust]

yeah, makes life much easier

get a little over a stack by doing the rounds on my island, I do play on 2x resources though

[magic needle]

Is it me or is the weapons from Ashlands seem lackluster and less flashy than before

[long locust]

have you slapped some gemstones in them yet?

[magic needle]

Oh we get gemstones? Haven't came across those yet

[long locust]

yeah, you can add them to the flametal weapons to upgrade them

there's three kinds, and they all make the weapons pretty bright looking lol

[tacit crystal]

You gotta pay a visit inside the Fortresses. You notice them by a green glow in the sky.

[long locust]

man, my only issue with magic weapons is how dependent they are on the corresponding armor sets, it makes sense but the penalty to your eitr regen is so hard without them

[nocturne wolf]

With the staff of protection, you don't need protective armor

[long locust]

yeah, fully aware lol, I use fenris whenever I'm out of combat

just wish I could use it in-combat as well without having to forego magic and stick to himminafl entirely

[nocturne wolf]

You could use the new Tonic of Ratatosk to keep high speed with mage armor

[long locust]

I do, and it helps a lot, but I'm such a fenris addict that it's just not enough speed

also, I run the feather cape a lot so the free fire resist is a huge help

[eternal sinew]

Can I ask what is the reason of locking Rawfish on preparation table, when you can find fish on coast sometimes and can get the rod and bait from haldor as early as blackforest? thats basically making Fish be a swamp tier food which seems dumb imo, feels better to be placed back on the Cauldron

[long locust]

most likely just for consistency, but considering cooked fish is on par with wolf meat iirc, it could also be for balancing purposes

[eternal sinew]

would prob be best to nerf the values if on par with wolf meat, but just seems weird to lock it that far when its accessible really early, by time get to swamp you have better food choices anyways

was really good as a base at blackforest, but now its just skip

[long locust]

yeah, agreed, tbh I never bother with fish in the first place and wouldn't have if it weren't for the bug spray requiring me to go plains fishing

they did add quite a few reasons to go fishing in this update, so those are nice, mainly the seafarer feast

[eternal sinew]

hopefully the devs will consider this and are looking lmao, right now thats just poor design on how to handle Rawfish 👎

I mod the game so its w.e, I can change everything myself XD but as vanilla perspective, its bad

[merry pebble]

tbh, i never used fish before plains, so i personally dont see it a really big of a deal, but yeah, as a swamp food its not really good 🙂 (then again, never was)

[long locust]

yeah, it's a little odd since it is basically only relevant in meadows/forest, but at the same time there's plenty of cooked meat in this game that's irrelevant at the stage you obtain it (cooked lox meat, cooked seeker meat, etc.)

and that's usually just to encourage people to engage with actually preparing their food instead of just slapping it on the cooking station & calling it a day

[keen cliff]

i swear to god, anytime i activate bonemass before seeing a morgen in a putrid hole, it turns out its empty and i wasted it

[wooden tapir]

morgens are pretty easy to parry, no need for bonemass, unless its starred

[merry pebble]

You have quite a bit of time before they crawl completly out if they are in there, pop the bonemass then 😄 (also what dale said and you can just circle around them even)

[wooden tapir]

i guess it also depends how experienced you are at fighting them

i think ive fought every enemy so many times now i can fight any ashlands mob without bonemass, except starred versions or huge hoards

[keen cliff]

i was just being extra careful, because i knew i wouldn't need bonemass for a long time

[wooden tapir]

used to be pretty scared of valks, but now they are easy after fighting about 50 of them

[keen cliff]

just funny really

[wooden tapir]

fair

ironically i need more vineberries, my plants arent growing them fast enough

the ones i have to go forage for i have plenty of

[keen cliff]

yeah, after i covered all the buildings in my base and still needed more vineberries, i went out and setup some vineberry farms on dedicated walls sticking out of the ground. ugly, but now i'm set

[merry pebble]

Those are quite easy to scavenge for 😄

[wooden tapir]

yea i havent explored much of my ashlands, only 2 fortresses

spent a long time 2 star askvin hunting

ive only found 2 vineberry citadells

so i dont quite have enough

[keen cliff]

if i relied on scavenging for vineberries, i probably wouldn't have enough

[wooden tapir]

well i have some at my farm, but i didnt have enough room to make a big vineyard

i thought they would grow faster

will prob need to make seperate place for them

[keen cliff]

yeah, i found placing two wooden wall pieces on top of each other is the right size. so i just did a lot of those in the ground, spaced out a bit

[hidden brook]

got perhaps THE worst bonemass spawn, in the damn plains 😭

sorry surrounded by plains

[wooden tapir]

i woudlnt doubt your first claim, been some weird screenshots recently

someone found a surtling gyser in the middle of the plains a few days ago

[merry pebble]

Was just typing that xD

[wooden tapir]

yea LMAO

or the yagluth arena in the middle of the water

[merry pebble]

Can you show? I am curious 👀

[wooden tapir]

people finding some crazy stuff recently

[hidden brook]

let me try

ok so we passed the plains but i can mark it on the map

its less surrounded than i thought lol but still, where can i send ss?

[wooden tapir]

#screenshots

[hidden brook]

its smt like that, although its not fully surrounded, im expecting enemies from the plains to come

[unique onyx]

happens to moder a lot too with mistlands lol

[wooden tapir]

there are other spawn locations, if you were really worried you could search for another

[hidden brook]

cant be arsed tbh

[merry pebble]

Thats not that bad 😄 i thought only a few meters of swamp with the altar spawned in plains

[hidden brook]

yeah im glad it wasnt but it sure looked like it from a bit further away 😂

[long locust]

I wish we had some sort of small inventory expansion or something, feel like I use over half my inventory just for gear and food/mead

[unique onyx]

usually if that happens and i want to keep playing, i'll just use the map generator to see how to go around or where another one is

[hidden brook]

just dont use armor and dont eat

[long locust]

oooh smart idea

[wooden tapir]

yea i have maybe 8-10 slots total in my inventory that arent necessities

doesnt leave much for gathering

[long locust]

assuming I drop arbalest, which I'm mainly just carrying around as a ranged alternative to magic for when I'm out of eitr, I get 2 more slots for a total of...

[gleaming musk]

important question, how do you pronnounce "dvergr" 🤔

[long locust]

12 free slots

[merry pebble]

Show screenshot of what you have?

[gleaming musk]

i started noticing this in mistlands, barely have slots

[long locust]

#screenshots @merry pebble

my staves, backup weapon of choice, crucial tools, food & drink, armor & equipment, and this is the bare minimum I bring around with me

wisplight, swamp key, etc. take up even more slots

[merry pebble]

I play melee and dont usually carry meads, so i have 3 more slots (one of the 4 gets used by arrows) and this ammount of slots is totally usable and more than good enough imo

[long locust]

it's not bad, but my god as soon as you start getting a variety of mats it becomes hell

[merry pebble]

I dont really feel it even when carrying pocket portal 🤷‍♂️ (that way i can dump everything home and go again)

[fair cairn]

i only really use meads for bosses so most of the time, i dont have meads in my inventory

[long locust]

I bare minimum keep health & stamina meads on me, and ever since bog witch ratatosk and lightfoot to a lesser extent have become staples of my loadout

[robust delta]

i think the d is silent

[merry pebble]

I dont think so

[fair cairn]

no, its not vergr

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much as it's spelled, really.

[long locust]

I just call them dwarves and move on

[gleaming musk]

well that's kinda relative

[vocal rivet]

I'm confused how that could be.

[gleaming musk]

Would that be something like D-Vergr? Or Dwervgr?

[vocal rivet]

The former, as that's how it is spelled.

[merry pebble]

How is W and V pronounced differently?

[gleaming musk]

With D-Vergr I meant something like saying "d" then "vergr"

[gray sand]

Don't carry the food.

It lasts half an hour. Eat before you leave and be home in 30 minutes and you get 3 slots back.
If you must stay out longer, just carry one of each after eating. So when you eat halfway through the day you still get your 3 slots back.

[merry pebble]

Oh, its said all together

[arctic garnet]

Do y'all think being able to attack up/down on slopes isn't as popular a request as I think it is or Irongate just really doesn't want to do it?

[nocturne wolf]

Iron gate have said they don't want to do it, because it creates many situations where players can safely hit enemies from an unreachable position.

Repositioning to a correct height is just part of this game's combat

[vital umbra]

make enemies able to aswell

like i said 😊

[nocturne wolf]

There's nothing wrong with the way it works now though

[vital umbra]

unless i feel like there is

[keen cliff]

woo. getting a cooking proc when making mead bases is nice

[arctic garnet]

I really feel like the shoe is on the other foot whenever I'm fighting anything melee on a slope (they can hit me and I can't hit them) and also bows exist.
basically i don't buy it

[gleaming musk]

||isnt this possible with bow anyways||

[patent wren]

I get where it could be exploited (there's already ways to cheese enemies in certain areas, like the ledge entries to frost caves-- being able to aim melee up and down more would make this even more viable in more circumstances), but i'm also not personally convinced it would make such a difference to the average player's combat experience it isnt worth the QoL fix

[arctic garnet]

yeah that's what I'm thinking.
Wouldn't be the first time an idea stuck that doesn't necessarily make sense in the whole setting.

[vital umbra]

bows, magic, bombs, etc etc..

[arctic garnet]

But melee? Oh, that's a bridge too far.

[robust delta]

i present a counter point

i forgot what it was nevermind

[patent wren]

Bows & bombs both use consumables and are substantially slower to kill enemies, to be fair? It's substantially less of a no-brainer move to cheese with those

Like, you can, but it's enough of a slog that it's very rarely worth it, at least in my experience.

[robust delta]

jumping while you do a melee point is kinda funny. u kinda can fight something above you but they could also hit you ig?

[arctic garnet]

i'm just so damn sick of hitting terrain right under the other guy's toes or giving them just a haircut man

[robust delta]

giving a good ole pedicure

[livid zenith]

Basically every game with bows and terrain lets most enemies be cheesed by proper positioning and ranged weapons

[wooden tapir]

i mean is it kinda annoying to not hit somethign thats sloped slightly higher than you? sure, but there are other instances where the playere is super advantaged.
For example: the Valkyrs in the ashlands never touch the ground, so they are always higher than you, but you can still mele them. also the before mentioned areas in some caves that are elevated

[patent wren]

Yeah, again, I'm not convinced the QoL loss is worth making cheese strats less appealing. That said, the devs may have internally tested it and found that cheesy exploits became comically easy to do even on accident, more than we could expect, so... they'd probably know best

[arctic garnet]

"Other instances" is unconvincingly vague to me, sorry.

[robust delta]

could it be possible for a mod to allow angling? sounds like best of both worlds

[livid zenith]

Apparently, the devs have gotten modders to show them what would happen with angled attacks and have concluded it wouldn’t work well

[arctic garnet]

Doesn't need to be directly up and down capable, but their minds are set so whatever

[patent wren]

Ah, yup, then sounds like they have pretty concrete reasons. Also sounds like there's probably a public mod out there for it, so at least thats an option for folks

[wooden tapir]

also as the player you have the opportunity to dodge role wich gives i frames, so i still see the player as advantaged

[livid zenith]

Also the player has the power to turn around and run away

[patent wren]

I wonder if they also looked at angling the character's hitboxes/attack animations with the terrain underfoot... I mean, probably, and I can imagine approximately ten million ways that would be an even worse setup, but I'm always curious about the behind the scenes work

[robust delta]

odin wouldn't approve

[arctic garnet]

really abou 15 degress would've been fine

[patent wren]

Nothin wrong with fleeing and living to die gloriously in battle another day!

[vital umbra]

i also have the ability to turn on dev commands 💕

[wooden tapir]

the only time i see the player at a disadvantage is if you get staggered and are fighting a large group of enemies, then its just gg, unfortunate, try not to get staggered next time

[livid zenith]

dies unceremoniously to an archer while running

[robust delta]

live with honour, die with glory

[wooden tapir]

very few times have i died in this game, and not concluded it was my fault

[vital umbra]

well honestly in the ashlands, i dont know how others did it but i know i sometimes got fucked and was unable to flee...say a couple times still with only mistlands equipment the terrain was so flat so i would try and hide in a tower or on top of a rock and there was always something that could destroy it like an askvin, morgen or valkyrie...

[arctic garnet]

I'm just not convinced with "player is already advantaged." Not having to shift over to a flatter spot is about all that would happen.

[robust delta]

false. we've all done the "is there fall damage" theory

[wooden tapir]

still your fault, you tested it

[vital umbra]

ISTG i died in the ashlands the first time i went there more than i ever died in total across all of my other playthroughs in every other biome..

[robust delta]

i blame gravity 🤔

[long locust]

yep, only death I have ever experienced in this game where I thought it was 100% not my fault was when I got disconnected from a server I was in with a friend while on a boat, reconnected a few mins later a bit too far from shore and drowned before I could get back, that was not a fun grave run

[wooden tapir]

same, i died so much in the ashlands my run went from 98 to 30

[vital umbra]

im confused, are you guys gaming meisters or do you have under 300 hours

[long locust]

the game didn't keep me on the boat, it kept the boat sailing but did not update my location so I fell into the water with no boat

[vital umbra]

my deaths might be close to the triple digits now

[wooden tapir]

im at 900 hours currently

i still die

[robust delta]

i think i have 232hrs

[arctic garnet]

damn apparently I have 1162.5 hours

[wooden tapir]

regularly, but every death is my fault in the end

[long locust]

I die a ton lol, but 99% of the time it's my fault, or some unfortunate circumstance I let myself get into

[robust delta]

if i care enough i won't die much but other times i don't care

[patent wren]

My favorite ways I've recently died are: "forgot to reup my poison resistance getting swamp groceries", "forgot to eat while building and jumped down 6m" (x3), "my mouse is broken because my cat has knocked it off my desk so many times, so the right click failed and i didnt actually block"

[long locust]

sometimes you make a few wrong decisions that leave you at a dead end where you're gonna die no matter what you do

[vital umbra]

i can pretty much name the instances where i die, trolls, swamp crypt draugrs, wraiths, starred wolf-packs, gjalls, the queen....and then EVERY SINGLE THING in the ashlands.

[livid zenith]

I have about 700 hours, ~3% of deaths I would blame on something outside my control

[robust delta]

i reduce the xp drain though cuz it sure likes to siphon the big numbers later on

[vital umbra]

the plains are not that bad to me i find though..

[wooden tapir]

exactly

[robust delta]

until the fabled death run in plains
suddenly the tally grows

[long locust]

this, I hate the skill drain so much, ruins the ability to experiment with loadouts easily

[vital umbra]

i am baffled there is an entire potion for repelling deathsquitos....like....why???

[patent wren]

I usually die to three things: misinput, distraction, and not knowing an enemy

[wooden tapir]

almost every death, if you think back a few second prior to your death, you will realize, you could have done something else that would have resulted in survival

[vital umbra]

i don't think my ashlands deaths count as any of those

its a combination of everything going wrong imaginable

[wooden tapir]

not knowing an enemy was really big in the ashlands

[robust delta]

coulda left the game and made a new world lol
gotta outthink death

[long locust]

'cause they're FUCKING ANNOYING, they're not even a serious threat, you just whack them once and they crumple, but istg there is nothing more irritating than minding my own buisness picking some berries and one of those fuckers comes and hits me for like 30 damage through my armor

[arctic garnet]

i just have the death penalty down

[livid zenith]

Deathsquitoes are annoying to kill if you don’t know the timing to whack/aren’t paying attention and are nearly impossible to deaggro without violence

[patent wren]

Tbh it would have been very helpful to have before my friend and I took on plains for the first time... getting squito'd doing a corpse run is deeply annoying

[vital umbra]

jesus

[robust delta]

that sounds like fun

[long locust]

squitoes are not a threat and that potion requires you spend awhile in the plains, since you need 3 groupers per 6 mead

[wooden tapir]

or you are busy fighting something else that requires your attention, then you hear "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

[long locust]

it's nothing more than a QoL to force an annoying enemy to fuck off

[vital umbra]

I have never in any of my playthroughs had as much issues with deathsquitos as...i guess....everyone else has...apparently?...

[robust delta]

they're okay. they just get me during a few death runs

[long locust]

yep, deathsquitoes aren't a threat on their own, but as soon as you're running from a fuling camp and you hear a bzzzzz while you're busy blocking 20 fulings in front of you you're screwed

[livid zenith]

I mainly run into issues with them on deathruns where I can’t one hit them and they can one hit me

[wooden tapir]

i only had issues with them on my very first playthrough, since i went in blind and had no idea, that they just do 90 dmg for no reason

[vital umbra]

dodge!

[robust delta]

meh

[livid zenith]

But then they come back

[vital umbra]

dodge more

[long locust]

yep, squitoes are super easy to dodge when you know how their AI works, don't even need to roll just walk when they start going in for an attack and sprint right before they suck you

[wooden tapir]

if you have fenris armor you can outrun a deathsquito

[patent wren]

You can also jump over deathsquito attacks, which is very funny to me

[long locust]

if you have fenris armor you can outrun everything, fenris is the goat

[vital umbra]

like i don't think i am going to use this mead even....i will craft it to be a completionist and to put it on tables.

[onyx pier]

Or swing any weapon. They're pretty easy to kill

[long locust]

yeah but we were just talking abt corpse runs

[robust delta]

well the context we had was for corpse runs

[onyx pier]

Ah

[arctic garnet]

I find just running often makes it miss.
I rather smack it out of the air though.

[vital umbra]

take like a bronze sword

[onyx pier]

Punchy punchy

[vital umbra]

deathsquitos have like zero point fuck all health

[robust delta]

you know what i've too much built up aggression. we're gonna brawl deathsquito

[wooden tapir]

yea, but you will never really leave their aggro range, but with fenris you can run fast enough they lose you

[patent wren]

Youre not obligated to use every mead, to be fair. It's just one tool of many!

[onyx pier]

I like to box greydwarfs

[arctic garnet]

Pretty much. Parry riposte or catch 'em like a fastball.

[robust delta]

it's the best thing ever

[arctic garnet]

Bullying greydwarfs by beating the crap out of 'em barehanded is like a Valheim rite of passage.

[patent wren]

Boxing enemies is fun. One time I got a good game of "catch" going with my friend where we kicked one back and forth between us for a while

[livid zenith]

The parry only increases block power (can’t stagger squitos), so with a good enough shield you can just hold block

[arctic garnet]

True, but I like the parry sound.

[robust delta]

true

[long locust]

yeah, once I get fenris and I'm just running around foraging in the black forest I'll just beat anything that isn't a brute or troll to death with my bare hands

[robust delta]

we need a ranged deathsquito

[wooden tapir]

i like to run rippers with the fenris to do my scavenging

[livid zenith]

You mean archers?

[vital umbra]

i wish there was flametal knuckles

[long locust]

they're called dvergr rogues

[arctic garnet]

Y'know what, sure. A deathsquito that shoots its needles. That'll be our "two star" deathsquito.

[wooden tapir]

i hate when im using lighting weapons and the chain hits my dvergr friends in the ashlands

[vital umbra]

i only fought them a couple times, at some point i just felt too bad whenever i did so i went out of my way so hard to never aggro them and always protect them..

[long locust]

mistlands 2: oops all deathsquitoes

[onyx pier]

Only part of mosquitos I dont like is how far they can see you when your on water. Like how the hell do they seem to see so far out like that while I'm sailing but on land they seem to be oblivious till your relatively close?

[robust delta]

deahtsquito that shoots out its needles
the alternate is a bit immersion breaking, but it's a deathsquito with an ak-47. i don't think odin would approve

[patent wren]

Only if we can pick up the needles if it misses us

[cobalt canyon]

Deathsquitoes all over mistlands wouldn't be pleasant

[gray sand]

Or the ones it hits you with get added to inventory.

[livid zenith]

Flying, rapid fire, fast projectile, high damage, fast moving, small, ranged enemy

[vital umbra]

i remember the concept art of seekers, i thought they were going to be a 10th the size they were and just some more powerful deathsquito.

[arctic garnet]

so I started this whole thing by bitching about how annoying it is to fight enemies on very slight inclines.
and Mistlands is 90% rock you need to sprint and jump repeatedly to climb.
this would make me pop a vessel

[patent wren]

Opens up extremely demented new farm possibilities. Keep a gatling squito in a box, drop loxen in front of it to absorb damage and produce needles, farm loxen at the same time...

[cobalt canyon]

Deathsquitoes all over mistlands that shoot would be Vietnam

[arctic garnet]

Valheim. Vietnam.
Vietheim.
