valheim-chat

[gray sand]

You just afk with Serpent Shield to level block and collect needles.

[robust delta]

LOL
good one

[robust delta]

reminds me of the good days where i get a skeleton raid

managed to keep like 8 archers alive and sat there blocking

went from like 18 to 41

[pearl shale]

Is troll armor worth upgrading ?

[merry pebble]

YES

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[robust delta]

i find it cheap and not too much of a task so i do it

[cobalt canyon]

Troll hide isn't used in much else

[robust delta]

prolly could upgrade it and just mark it as a makeshift bronze armor if u don't wanna deal with more mining lol

[arctic garnet]

I still would like some straight linen padded (actually just padded) light armor. I have a thing for gambeson

[robust delta]

no idea what a gambeson is

sounds like a cool gumball

[cobalt canyon]

some kind of armor

[merry pebble]

Basically a thick coat/cloth armor

[robust delta]

gumball armor 💪

[arctic garnet]

Medieval padded jacket, layered cloth meant to be resistant against cuts and worn under metal armor like mail.

[gray sand]

Very effective for its time actually.

[robust delta]

actually i think i've seen one before

[gray sand]

Padded actually has one if you look at the sleeves coming out from the armor.

[patent wren]

Very effective in general, tbh

[cobalt canyon]

Needle armor

[robust delta]

yea was just about to say

[arctic garnet]

https://i.etsystatic.com/6664294/r/il/c823c3/301090118/il_570xN.301090118.jpg
Gambeson can be absolutely fly as hell.

[acoustic sorrel]

Yea padded armor looks like a gambeson of some sort

[livid zenith]

1 durability (1 hit would be enough to break all the needles), anything that melees you instantly dies

[gray sand]

It's gambe underneath the iron plates.

Person was asking about a version that didn't have the iron plates as the "light armor" for the Plains.

[arctic garnet]

Pretty much, we could have padded with and without mail armor over.

[gray sand]

Probably just Linen Thread + Lox Pelt if they were going to make one.

[long locust]

lox armor would be interesting, wonder what the set bonus would be though

[gray sand]

Cuteness.

[vital umbra]

+30% smell

[patent wren]

Heavy steps - damage things underfoot when sprinting

[long locust]

imagine it being some sort of silly taming/farming bonus given how much farming happens on the plains

[arctic garnet]

Probably just the light armor and maybe cold resistance. All capes past the wolf one give this though.

[vital umbra]

threaten me with a good time huh

[gray sand]

Could just be slash resistant.
As we have a pierce resistant already.

[arctic garnet]

I kinda feel that not all capes should have the cold weather resist. Or at least not totally.

[long locust]

I disagree, lemme use whatever cape I want past mountains, tbh I wish we could do something like tailor a cape to look like one cape while giving the stats of another

[acoustic sorrel]

Blunt resist also would make sense

[long locust]

for instance, make a feather cape that looks like a linen cape when equipped

[gray sand]

Make Flametal Armor that looks like Rag Armor plz.

[arctic garnet]

I wouldn't argue with cosmetic caping, actually.

[gray sand]

Transmog for everything would probably be a 1.0 QoL patch.

[long locust]

nah, I just want capes since they're just vanity/utility

[patent wren]

Transmog suggestions have had mixed feedback from the community, so it's pretty murky how the devs feel about it. Could be nice, though. Have to imagine it'd be a popular thing to mod in, too

[gray sand]

I want to be able to like how an armor/weapon looks without knowing it will be obsolete in 2 biomes...

[vocal rivet]

It has? People can just not use it if they don't want it.

[arctic garnet]

To be fair, I do also think more armors could bring in some amount of cold resist.
I'd think there'd be a scale of downgrades cold (cold -> nothing, freezing -> cold) and total cold resist which is what we have now.

[patent wren]

Just based on my memory of up/downvotes, the attitude could've shifted (or I could be remembering wrong). I think the most common reason for distaste was that it weakens the sense of concrete progression across biomes.

I wouldn't mind it as an endgame thing, myself, but I don't feel particularly strongly about it

[long locust]

my god arbalest is a perfect weapon for making gjalls fuck off permanently

[arctic garnet]

i love my crossbow

[long locust]

gonna carry that around in my back pocket for situations where I just gotta say "I'm a mage, but..."

[arctic garnet]

Y'all ever kill a gjall with a greatsword? It's fun.

I'm gonna harp on gambesons with styling again for my fashionheim fantasies

[long locust]

I jumped on top of one once and whacked it to death with my axe, pretty fun time

[onyx pier]

The helm would be a buffalo style headdress looking thing

[tacit crystal]

"...this thing is DOPE" I assume it continues like that?

[obtuse sable]

what to do if i have completed the game?

[vital umbra]

wdym 'completed'

you mean having killed all the bosses i assume

[arctic garnet]

Chop down a tree, roll its log into the water, and then roll the log standing on it.

[long locust]

nah it continues with a loud ass echo across the mistlands of a crossbow bolt being unloaded into a gjall's ass sacs

[old flint]

Get all the side quests done and unique items

[obtuse sable]

yep

[vital umbra]

many...many many many things lol..

tame animals, look for starred variants, farm, build, explore, fight with different builds, trophy hunt, hildirs quests, cook, craft..

[arctic garnet]

Sail boats. Find Hildir and play viking dress up. Experiment with cozy house building; make cozy mountain cabin with yule trees.

[long locust]

all sorts of stuff, rn my goal for now after I finish mistlands & ashlands is collecting every trophy

rancid remains & draugr elites have quickly become my most hated enemies

[vital umbra]

build build build and build, level skills, explore the map as much as possible, fish everywhere.

[arctic garnet]

Oh, and there is fishing too I guess.

[tacit crystal]

• Craft Fishing Hat

[vital umbra]

75% of the playtime in my current world i am imagining is going to be after i beat fader....i just want the food/equipment/building materials before i spend too much time on anything.

[obtuse sable]

I'll do a lot when host send a copy of the world =)

[old flint]

Starting my new playthrough, trying to not die as often lol

[long locust]

honestly, sometimes I just treat this game like an open world survival version of stardew valley, there's so much farming & cooking you can do that you can just run through the motions and relax lol

[vital umbra]

i am so hype that farming is a skill...i have never been so excited to farm carrots

[long locust]

it's why I was so excited for bog witch because more food/farming content had me feral for the month or so leading up to the update

[tacit crystal]

And once you have the Scythe you enjoy farming more.

[tacit crystal]

Deathless runs are fun IMO. I'm currently doing another on Hard preset after I succeeded on Normal difficulty.

[long locust]

except for my GOD DAMN MISTLANDS SHROOM FARM

[gray sand]

*Odin Damn

😛

[long locust]

nah, I'll damn any of the gods

[tacit crystal]

That. Hopefully it gets fixed soon™.

[vital umbra]

The only reason i'm trying not to die is because i spend so much fucking effort into actively leveling my skills

[old flint]

im trying on normal since its my first time actually trying to rise skills and not die

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I recommend that. On Hard you gotta be much more careful.

[long locust]

worst part of hard for me so far was the mountains

absolute shithole up there now, especially wolves and frost caves

[gray sand]

Wolves are the one enemy I genuinely don't get the issue with because they are the easiest enemy to parry in the game.

Just push the button when you hear the sound cue and it's guaranteed perfect timing.

[long locust]

honestly, I disagree, their attack animation is very short and they recover from parries fairly quickly

however, yeah a single wolf isn't an issue ever, super easy to take care of

when you get cornered on a slope by 4 wolves with little stamina though, different story

[tacit crystal]

Something AoE always helps. Either Atgeir or Sledgehammer.

[gray sand]

I've never even looked at the animation because their blocking is all sound-based.

[cyan grotto]

one wolf is fine, you get like three on you and you’re dead

[long locust]

I tried atgeir, slight elevation difference got me killed a few times

[tacit crystal]

Sledgehammer has no elevation problems then.

[long locust]

not a sledge fan, so that's a me issue

[tacit crystal]

Ooze Bombs then?

[long locust]

gonna be so honest I've never made ooze or bile bombs

[gray sand]

Ooze bombs make the Mistlands' Infested Mines a cakewalk.

[tacit crystal]

Bombs are quite good, especially Bile Bombs that are even stronger.

[gray sand]

Until Ashlands, when everything is immune to poison 😦

[patent wren]

Swamps and Mountains both get me by the stamina usage. I just... i crave the speed.... i cant stop sprinting

[tacit crystal]

Yeah and either resist or immune to Fire.

[long locust]

yeah, from what I've heard they are, but so far for mistlands I've been using the bomb on a stick

[patent wren]

At least in mistlands i cant see a foot in front of me so the greyhound instinct isnt so loud

[arctic garnet]

Mistlands I feel like I'm sprinting most the time because that's how you climb things you can't normally walk over.

[long locust]

yeah, same with mountains, at least in mistlands you have a lot of options for dealing with the extra stamina drain

[errant knoll]

Finally found one more infested mine, the last one I needed to finish my sealbreaker.

Fought the queen blind for the first time - my review for iron gate is that they really need to rework that boss arena

Without even intending to I cheesed the fight right at the start

The few times I did get attacked by the queen felt scary. I imagine it's the same as other bosses though - its scary the first time you fight, but once you have dodge timings and stuff down it ain't too bad.

I did like the message that appeared when the fight started though - that's a nice reference lol

[long locust]

just ran into a 1* gjall with a fire weakness from my cape

[void dagger]

i run with scissors a lot

[long locust]

I'm just hiding inside a giant skeleton rn and shooting it with my arbalest

[errant knoll]

Those things only get stars at night time, and they scary guys lol

[long locust]

oh thank fuck, it just turned to day and I was wondering why I couldn't find it, good to know it despawned

[tacit crystal]

Dawn started and you wonder "Where war horn sounds?"

[void dagger]

why shouldnt i run with scissors

[nocturne wolf]

Bring fire resistance barley wine. Resistances override weaknesses.

[long locust]

fully aware, I'm used to running fenris with it so I forget to bring fire resist with me when I'm running eitr-weave

I just opted to take off my cape while fighting it

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have a staff of protection? Weaknesses aren't applied to the bubble.

[long locust]

yeah I do, didn't have much problems fighting it tbh

was just a scary experience at first lol

[errant knoll]

Fighting one isn't as bad as being jumped by one lol. The worst is when you know it's there but you have no idea where it is

[long locust]

yeah. that's how it started lol, instantly broke my bubble when I finally found it

[languid vessel]

why is flametal pink?

[pliant hatch]

Because it's secretly made from dead Flamingos

[patent wren]

flamingos are only pink if they eat shrimp. shrimp confirmed in valheim?

[languid vessel]

Ocean Update forshadowing?

[vital umbra]

why does doing things have to create all this fucking smoke all the time

building, repairing, fueling fires, cooking, farming....its so obnoxious and i can't see anything

[pliant hatch]

Why do you have to use swearwords all the time?

[languid vessel]

Ronnie here is a berzerker i assume

[vital umbra]

cuz i haven't been told to stop yet

i'm passionate 🤩

[vital umbra]

maybe

[arctic garnet]

angy

[vital umbra]

nooo just

swear-y..

[arctic garnet]

I have question.
So Irongate already stated why they don't think angling melee attacks is a good idea. My disagreement aside, did they also say why not farming blueberries and raspberries?

i guess to incentivize foraging

I accept that more than I do the reasoning with angling attacks

[onyx pier]

Fr, it makes no sense to not allow Berry farming

[nocturne wolf]

We already have carrots

[onyx pier]

And that's as someone who grows em in his backyard

[nocturne wolf]

We don’t need any more than one farmable ingredient in each of the early biomes, and meadows does not have any because we don’t have a cultivator.

[onyx pier]

I'm just talking about the capability. Growing carrots irl is actually harder than berries

Getting the seed at least

[nocturne wolf]

Why have two items obtained in the same way for the same purpose (crafting food)

[vital umbra]

yeah i have raspberries in my back yard

[vital umbra]

but why can we plant beech seeds?

👽

[onyx pier]

But that argument can be used against any farmable veg in game

[vital umbra]

you can either forage or farm vineberries too

[onyx pier]

Mushroom farming of tree stumps would be cool too

[arctic garnet]

but it is still annoying, especially when a troll smashes some berries or something for them to never, ever respawn

actually screw it, I also reject the reasoning for not being able to plant berry bushes

[vital umbra]

what reasoning is there anyways?

bc "it is what it is?"

[arctic garnet]

I'm imagining it's to incentivize foraging. Fair enough, but when something breaks the bush, it's gone forever. That just annoys me.

they're honestly kind of a pain in the ass to find in decent quantities sometimes
until late game when you can find yourself floating them

[onyx pier]

Or add a mechanic where birds landing have a very small chance of sprouting a Berry Bush cuz that's usually how they spread irl

[patent wren]

we're not entitled to all of the devs' reasoning, as an aside. we're lucky we get as much insight and influence as we do.
but yes, it's been communicated that farming forageables is unlikely to happen, as 'going out into the world to collect things' is intended to remain part of the core gameplay loop

[arctic garnet]

Be great if breaking the bush at least dropped a seed then. Just one.

[vital umbra]

i don't really want to have to always forage like a caveman, its fun for the first like half of every experience in a biome and then its just so bleh, the skill is called farming, not farming & foraging

[arctic garnet]

foraging I do honestly get though. The mushrooms are at least there for this

[long locust]

goddd I HATE that they put a fire weakness on the feather cape

[arctic garnet]

And thistle. Not like you'll accidentally break something they spawn from.

[patent wren]

It is definitely unfortunate to lose a berry bush, especially if it's destroyed by enemies or like a falling tree

[nocturne wolf]

The weakness is worth it for the other effects

[heady shell]

Hey. Just joined the server. Just looking to find a small group to start a new world with

[onyx pier]

Legit. And since these are raspberries they should have as many seeds as individual cells

[long locust]

it is but god damn I got grazed by a single gjall fireball and just had to accept my death was coming in the next 2 seconds from DoT

[vital umbra]

idrc about the logic behind foraging or not, i like the feeling of self-sustainability, irl and in-game, there are other games where you can plant mushrooms and berries...

[patent wren]

sure, but valheim isn't other games.

[onyx pier]

It makes sense early game but at some point it doesnt. I can make siege equipment and magic but not collect seeds from a berry?

[heady shell]

Yeah i gotta say it'd be awesome if you could farm berries

[nocturne wolf]

Berries are irrelevant by that point, what would you need a seed for?

[plush umbra]

it's not about making sense, it's about keeping their acquisition varied and motivating you to leave the base

[vital umbra]

#1024264966712340510 🗣️

[arctic garnet]

Mead is still useful and uses berries iirc

[plush umbra]

same reason why very few trees drop their seeds at a sustainable rate

[vital umbra]

i don't wanna leave my base if i already have a garden 😤

[arctic garnet]

that and knocking back tasty meads is always in

They should buff the volume of the viking belch after drinking from a tankard.

[onyx pier]

I use em as feed. But it's usually cuz I'm just in the ha it of collecting em and have a stockpile at that point

[nocturne wolf]

There are a lot of foods that can be made entirely from farmed items, such as turnip stew and boar jerky

[vital umbra]

i want to farm everything

[hidden brook]

defeated a lux and like 20 of those little shits before killing bonemass 🔥

[heady shell]

Eh this all sounds way to formal. Looks more like applying for a job than making actual friends

[long locust]

this, my current food arrangement for general base chores (when I'm not using feasts) is bread, onion soup, and salads

[nocturne wolf]

My friend cleared a fuling camp and tamed a lox before killing the elder in our first playthrough.

[hidden brook]

😭 too real

[hidden brook]

damn, we got 2 abominations to clear out a village lol

[heady shell]

Well it was worth a shot. Later y'all

[nocturne wolf]

His map was covered in deaths

[hidden brook]

then killed a lux

[vital umbra]

somewhat 😃, i guess its streamlined because so many people are looking....i am just playing solo as i make friends in the server then ask directly to play basically..

[onyx pier]

I've mvr actually played along with others. Always been solo cuz my play times are erratic

After they fix the damn portal bug on xbox I might try to find a group

[sacred ravine]

im gonna go crazy if i have to fight through a 23rd infested mine just to find the STUPID QUEEN VEGSVIR ITS BEEN EIGHT HOURS HELP

[lunar sapphire]

Enjoy your slaying and colonisation ❤️

[vital umbra]

subject hi

[pliant hatch]

When doing that search, also look up along the mined out walls. In one of my last games I found a Vegvisir perched on a ledge above the usual line of sight.

[sacred ravine]

will do, thank you ;v:

[arctic garnet]

mmm, bread, onion soup, and salad

[hollow jungle]

Dumb question: is it worth it to fully upgrade the heaviest armors?

Because i seen that defense has diminishing returns

[nocturne wolf]

I level up armor to level 3

[hollow jungle]

Is it worth it to go beyond ?

[vital umbra]

depends on the specific armour piece

bronze no, iron no, wolf yes, padded maybe, carapace yes, flametal yes.

[nocturne wolf]

The diminished returns still make a noticeable impact on how many hits you can take

[frail wagon]

tbh i dont see a reason to not triple up on feasts

[vital umbra]

i think that the light armours are always worth fully upgrading

[frail wagon]

75 75
65 65
55 55
thats like, Really good

[nocturne wolf]

No, upgrading to level 4 is too expensive

[long locust]

who up refining they eitr

[hollow jungle]

Light armies definately

[frail wagon]

who else up hunting they serpent

[nocturne wolf]

One feast, one health and one stamina food is better

[hollow jungle]

Btw does yagluth deal ONLY Magic dmg? (Lightning and fire)

[vital umbra]

what armour are you looking at

[frail wagon]

Still, thats really good and almost 200 of both stats?

[long locust]

in like 90% of cases, no need to swap unless you want to specialize your loadout towards something

[nocturne wolf]

His meteors have a very low blunt damage

[vital umbra]

the fact that you can't carry them around

[frail wagon]

Now, i cant deny having the ashlands feast and both of the ashlands pies isnt a complete improvement

[long locust]

tbf if you're running out of time on feasts before getting back to your base or at least an outpost, you've fucked up big time

[vital umbra]

you'd be surprised 😎

[frail wagon]

But regardless.
Feasts are a 10/10 feature

[frail wagon]

the 50 minute digest time:

[hollow jungle]

So bonemass is useless against him

[vital umbra]

consider most of my expeditions to be fuck ups...cuz i will literally be spending days away from base, resting at campfires and eating what i took with me...

[nocturne wolf]

Use eikthyr’s power

[long locust]

this, plus the plains feast being called "the culinary equivalent of a hug" makes me feel warm inside in the middle of vietheim

[long locust]

pretty much, eikthyr is better since his fight is almost entirely dodging

his fist slam is pretty easy to tank if you have good armor + fire resist, everything else just take cover

[nocturne wolf]

I block the meteors. If you run away you’ll take too long to get back and won’t be able to deal as much damage.

[vital umbra]

i just take feasts for the initial adventure

[hollow jungle]

Can't you somehow facetank him?

[long locust]

if you have full padded and fire resist, yeah you can do a pretty effective job at facetanking

if you bring literally any other armor though, facetanking isn't viable

[nocturne wolf]

One of his attacks leaves fire on the ground. You can stay inside this long enough to deal some damage but will need to leave eventually.

[hollow jungle]

Fenris armor? Considering most of the dmg is fire

[long locust]

I brought fenris, it was good enough to keep me safe from a couple attacks but not enough to let me mindlessly tank

[hollow jungle]

And i assume the archer we have with the root should stay at safe distance

[long locust]

that archer should be downing barley wine like their life depends on it, because it does

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth is resistant to pierce. Even with elemental arrows, too much damage will be resisted because of the bow’s base pierce damage.

[long locust]

they will die instantly to the fire weakness otherwise, make sure they have frost or silver arrows as well

honestly, yagluth is like a much scarier bonemass imo

[nocturne wolf]

You can use fire resistance barley wine. It’s very cheap and provides the same fire resistance.

[long locust]

both are most effective at close range and most effectively fought at close range, both force you to use mead or resists

[vital umbra]

just beat him up

[hollow jungle]

I.... Don't like heavy armors

I tried wearing once. They make you walk like a snail

[nocturne wolf]

I prefer light armor too but I don’t make fenris armor as it requires too much luck for the fenris hair

[hollow jungle]

Too late. I'm already on the last upgrades

[pliant hatch]

Not luck. Just checking 10-ish frost caves. 😄

[frail wagon]

fenris armor is the most stylish armor in the game.
i will NOT hear ANY other opinion

[vital umbra]

heavy armour typically looks cooler so i cope with movement penalty

[nocturne wolf]

Is five caves enough for you to make one piece of it?

[hollow jungle]

More than enough

[long locust]

if it weren't for embla armor I'd agree

[vital umbra]

flametal armour*

[nocturne wolf]

Ask armor’s jump stamina reduction combined with feather cape and the new lightfoot mead is so good

[vital umbra]

asks armour looks so mid but so good at the same time i don't know what to do

its a rather simple set

black metal chests are so fcking hype 🤬

[pliant hatch]

You need 20 fenris hair for the trousers and 20 for the body armor. I managed to get 25 from two caves.
I think all upgrades need at least 10. And there's three of those.
So that means you will need at least 5 caves to get two out of three armor pieces. And a lot more for the headpiece, considering the drop rate of the Cultist Trophy.

[nocturne wolf]

I’ll see if I can get any luckier in my next playthrough. Maybe howling caverns could be more reliable?

[vital umbra]

ehh

why those specifically, are they actually bigger than normal frost caves

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.

Most important is when you see the fenris hair from the tapestries, to not only take the hair showing up when going over it with your mouse, but to demolish the tapestry as well. That provides you with some extra fenris hair, making collecting that resource easier.

[vital umbra]

and all the jute

its expensive to install full carpeting ✨

[long locust]

for fenris hair maybe, but you won't get any cultist trophies since those only spawn ulvs and geirrhafa

[nocturne wolf]

I know about all of this, it didn’t generate in my caves when I first tried getting it and I haven’t tried again since.

[tacit crystal]

I usually mix up 1 Fenris piece with Wolf armor piece and Drake helmet for some movement speed and armor mixed together.

[pliant hatch]

Not all caves have them.
My first cave had only two of those tapestries in a single room, not a single fenris hair tapestry for those small side areas and only 2 pieces of fenris hair at a pedestal.
The second cave had more rooms, more pedestals and more tapestries, making collecting it a lot easier. I think I ended up with 10 in the first cave and 15 from the 2nd. So SNG does matter here.

[nocturne wolf]

SNG?

[pliant hatch]

Sadistic Number Generator. (The one always working against you)

[gray sand]

Summer Neck Games.

[nocturne wolf]

Like the wind?

[gray sand]

Somewhat Nice Gjall

[pliant hatch]

Like the You are being hunted event hitting you when you're almost out of food and just that far enough away from your base to make it with some food HP left.

[gray sand]

So... totally avoidable scenarios?

[patent wren]

If you do howling, the raid unlocked by the silver chest brings cultists to your doorstep

[pliant hatch]

I doubt it. My base is on an island and even Trolls don't get there.
So far only Drakes and Swamp creatures did.

[patent wren]

Ah. Well, yes, a spawnproofed base would remove that possibility.

[pliant hatch]

It's not even spawn proofed. I think the distance and LoS are just too large for them to get there.
And since the only creatures near my base are deer and neck, trolls won't attack those anyway.

[frail wagon]

god i hate serpent hunting

[merry pebble]

They just dont want to appear right? 😄

[frail wagon]

always there at the worst time, never there when your ready

[pliant hatch]

Don't you mark the storm spawns at your map?

[long locust]

found an absolutely blessed swamp with 6 geysers all within running distance of each other, gonna put pics in #screenshots

[tacit crystal]

I usually mark the areas Serpents have spawned for the future hunting trips.

[long locust]

sometimes you just gotta sate the urge to craft 60 lingering stamina mead

let it be known the mage of valheim is good for two things: killing trolls and pissing mead

[onyx pier]

Man, my current world has the worst serpent spawn chances. I'm on day 350ish and I've seen exactly 2 spawn. And I'm on the water ALOT the way I'm situated.

[crude talon]

Hi guys

💩

[onyx pier]

Hi

[arctic garnet]

the one that makes me miss several times in a row at 95% chance to hit in City of Heroes, or cause improbable odds to land against me in a string.

[atomic edge]

took a break from valheim bc of the swamp, going back tdy wish me luck

[keen cliff]

i can't seem to figure out how to melee a fallen valk. i get better success just kiting it around and shooting it with ling ripper

which i should have used jade stone on in retrospect

yeah, i think i'm going to make a new one

[long locust]

the mistlands are so pretty and calm and such a vibe and then you get attacked by a gjall spawning ticks along with a 1 star seeker and a seeker soldier and you fight for 5 minutes straight getting down to 3 health at one point barely surviving the whole fight

I have received a small amount of mistlands related trauma while searching for my next mine

it's impressive when a biome makes me happy to be back in the plains

[long locust]

holy fuck I hate dvergr

[candid nymph]

Just finished the Fader fight, no spoilers, that sucked

[long locust]

I really feel like a fun post-fader activity for me will be raiding dvergr encampments with all the siege equipment

[gleaming musk]

Is it normal that the game gets kinda laggy on infested mines..?

[crude talon]

Mm

[keen cliff]

why you hate dverger bros? that's crazy

[long locust]

they find the most irritating ways to kill me

figured the mages wouldn't be able to attack in the water, you know, like every other non-aquatic enemy but nope, bastards just started casting spells in the middle of the ocean

[keen cliff]

lol. we have radically different experiences. they've only ever attacked me twice..... ahh, you attack them first. got it.

[long locust]

yeah, not a huge fan of just cheesing the whole encounter with a cart or bringing a gjall in

[keen cliff]

if you ever watched them fight, you would have seen them fighting seekers and gjall from the water.

but regardless, dvergers are bros. i used cart trick once, and refined eitr after that.

[onyx pier]

Or accidentally hit something of theirs

[keen cliff]

yeah, i've been careful. actually, today post-Fader may have been the first time they've ever attacked me. might have been because of chain lightning

[languid vessel]

Ive got an unnamed stone portal that is connected to something but keeps dropping me infront of my main hub portal back at my base (which is wooden) and wont teleport me back

Loki did some shenaniganery to my fekken portal network

[onyx pier]

Ye, I know I've had some run ins with em cuz of splash damage. One time I swear I triggered em by chopping a tree that was near a fortress

[kind pendant]

Can anyone explain how to use fenris armor better? I don’t really understand all of it. I’ve seen lots use it up till mistlands & I’d really like to know how they can manage everything with it. Can you parry or block aswell? Or stay more ranged? I’ve tested out the armor and I love it, just some parts I don’t understand..

[onyx pier]

It's more about dodge rolls and speed

[kind pendant]

Makes sense

[leaden elbow]

Late bronze age atm repreparing for swamp. I have a bronze mace and sword at lvl3, so does anyone have info which enemies ill find at this point are weaker to each? I just wanna use it most efficiently. Id assume skeletons are weak to blunt.

[kind pendant]

Imo sword & mace is both good in the swamps, but the mace would work significantly better against blobs since they’re weak to blunt, boss & enemies are neutral to it.

[livid zenith]

Skeletons and blobs are weak to blunt, abominations are nuetral to slash (and resist blunt and pierce), and the draugr are neutral to both so use whatever you have higher skill in

[leaden elbow]

Yeah both deal the same damage in their respective "element". Abominations to slash? How can i get closer to one? Ive never done so, havent seen any attacks.

I dont wanna die, again

Also yesterday i got kill streaked by draugr when i couldnt parry their attacks with my (then) lvl1 bronze buckler. I have it upgraded it now and i do not wanna go there and die again so, will a lvl3 buckler and my processed foods (60-100hp) be enough to parry draugr?

I just want a second opinion on that, dying is not preferable

[livid zenith]

A lvl 3 bronze buckler should be able to parry draugr with almost any amount of max health

[leaden elbow]

Ok nice. Whaty the most i can parry with it? How cocky can i get before i die lol

I dont really get the upgrade numbers, it says on the upgrade preview something like 28(1), but appereantly the difference is far more than 1

Okay, valheims upgrade doesnt display upgrade differences, does it.

[vital umbra]

wat?

the upgraded version of the thing is the one displayed, whatever you have equipped you can hover over to see the difference

[leaden elbow]

Well thats inconvenient

[vital umbra]

why?

thats how you compare them

[livid zenith]

About 100 damage with 90HP

[leaden elbow]

I mean like in god of war upgrading will show a green highlight over your stats so Vitality 314 (in green: +7)

[wide zenith]

Why flametal helmet have 900 durability on 2lvl
But ask hood is 1200?
Wtf

[gray sand]

Blocking sheet is pinned in this channel...

[leaden elbow]

Oh sorry i dont know the games damage numbers, i only go with a little, fair, and holy fucking shit that is way too much damage to be balanced

[gray sand]

It is written in a way that you do not have to know the game's damage numbers.

You type in your skill, your set difficulty, and your shield.
It autofills out the blocking thresholds.

[leaden elbow]

Ill always find a way to be confused, make sure of that. But yeah ill go check it out

Which difficulty is default

[gray sand]

Normal

[leaden elbow]

Good name. I like it.

[gray sand]

There is a key for acceptable things to type in right there.

[leaden elbow]

Didnt know, on mobile atm. Skàl!

[languid vessel]

Whats the deal with Graustine Roofing?
why are there only interior corners, and why is it that the curves corners make no sense and cant smoothly connect to anything?
why is it that despite the arched borders being designed specifically for the curved roofing they cant snap to a place if another arch is snapped there? and why is there no borders for the straight roofing?

[vital umbra]

I love the ratatouille potions

[rare ibex]

because its viking age and they dont have perfect arcitecture

and its not gonna be pretty

[vital umbra]

🤨

[merry pebble]

Its a material that your character didnt see anywhere until now 😄 so he can only build the pieces that are present in other buildings at ashlands (made that reason up ofc but it makes at least a bit of sense imo 🙂 )

[tacit crystal]

I like Storming Splitnir against them. Bit higher hitbox help to hit them better than other weapons. And you can throw it at it too. Storm Ripper and Storming Splitnir are good combo IMO.

[wide zenith]

Which ash fang is better?

[vital umbra]

probably root

whatever its called, green fang 👽

[merry pebble]

I quite like the thundering one, but i like everything in its thunder variant soooo...

[wide zenith]

I was thinking about thunder tho
Bit of lightning dmg is good, but 20% for chain light is low kinda

[vital umbra]

i have never heard of people liking the thundering bow

[wide zenith]

Oh, root have also 20%

[vital umbra]

people like the trapped root effect from a distance for obvious reasons, and some people like the blood sniper builds

[wide zenith]

For blood sniping you should be at low health, which i don't want

[vital umbra]

but its sniping

[wide zenith]

Yea, you still can ocasionally die from some random sneaky fuck

[wide zenith]

Why tho?
You, personally, don't like thunder one?

[vital umbra]

no i like either it or the normal ash fang the best....i just mean actual viability.

[wide zenith]

Wait, normal fang receives spirit when upgraded

[merry pebble]

Yep, 5 per upgrade lvl

[nimble aurora]

durability doesnt really matter a whole lot in this game tbf

[merry pebble]

Yeah, you go home so often that you dont really get anything broken if you dont forget to repair 🙂

[nimble aurora]

yeah exactly haha

[vital umbra]

man the drakkar is so sucky

[robust delta]

big™️

[vital umbra]

i am bottoming out on shit like 50m away from a shoreline man

[kindred osprey]

ashlands has just killed all the love i had for this game ... just tedious and frustrating ... not enjoyable ... after such a long time waiting for a biome update and this is what they delivered ... feels like dev just lost their passion for this game ... rant over and so unfortunately is the game for me

[jagged night]

Hey, anyone wants to play?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[vital umbra]

unbased take, ashlands is the best fucking biome, fader was awesome, ily devs.

[nocturne wolf]

Combat is my favourite part of the game, and in ashlands it never stops

[vital umbra]

they left too...so unnecessary, hope they have fun playing solitaire on their free time then..

no actual critiques lol...just "i don't like the game, i'm bad at it too, devs bad, bye."

only message too, so he just joined the server to be negative.

[merry pebble]

Let it go 🙂 not the first one, not the last one

[vital umbra]

i dislike stupid poopoo heads 😾

[tribal trench]

After Valheim is complete I wonder what worlds we will visit next

Jotunheim?

[lunar sapphire]

Viking Zoo Tycoon

[tribal trench]

noooooo

[merry pebble]

Maybe cats will finally be in there 😭

[tribal trench]

one of the other 9 worlds must have cats

[merry pebble]

Well... we do 😄 but i would love if Valheim would have them too

[upbeat crypt]

What do I do again with Pike and Perch

[tribal trench]

Keep them untill you can make a food prep station

[nocturne wolf]

Bring them to a food preparation table to turn them into raw fish meat, or make a pond and keep them as pets

[upbeat crypt]

oh so that got moved from the Cauldron as well?

[tribal trench]

yeah and the table requires iron to build

[merry pebble]

Yep, basically all raw food is now in prep station

[odd marsh]

pretty cool ngl i dig the prepping table

[upbeat crypt]

so by the time you can make cooked fish, you wouldn't eat it because you have sausages black soup and deer stew

[tribal trench]

ohhhh no

My friend fish is very very good

[upbeat crypt]

45 15 and 20 minutes?

that's beaten by deer stew, 45 15 and 25 minutes

[tribal trench]

I use fish mostly around the house or while sailing

[merry pebble]

It has the lowes stats of all the swamp food, and even lots of bf food

[upbeat crypt]

there's quite a long draught between catching your first fish late into BF / early swamp gameplay and actually using it when you can finally make Fish Tacos

should definitely add some swamp / mountain level fish recipes imo

[vital umbra]

meadows ruined the game for me guys, devs lost their passion

[tribal trench]

it's a supplement food item I use in combo with honey comb and deer meat... quite honestly it's not the best busy its really easily farmed

[upbeat crypt]

"Meadows" ?

[vital umbra]

yeahh

[tribal trench]

I use that cooked and prep food for actual exploring

[merry pebble]

Why are you starting about that again... leave it be they are gone

[vital umbra]

😛

[upbeat crypt]

Lowest effort food is Onion, Onion Soup and Honey

[plush umbra]

imo lowest effort is the stuff that just accumulates as you explore, so no crops for me~
honey, boar jerky, sausage (cooked deer meat in that place early on), wolf jerky, cloudberries

[upbeat crypt]

yeah boar jerky is also very easy since you eventually have no more use for boar meat, but you will run into enough of them

can you eat cloudberries now?

[odd marsh]

wonder how cloudberries taste

[tribal trench]

you can stack 50 honey comb 20 cooked fish and 20 deer meat.... and unless your Wrecked in the meadows easily i think it works out

[plush umbra]

always could

[plush umbra]

same, they're a real thing, but the ones in valheim look pretty different, wouldn't be surprised if they taste different too

[merry pebble]

If you live far enough north there is a chance you have them growing somewhere 😄

[upbeat crypt]

I'm pretty sure earliest release a few years ago Cloudberries were not edible

[plush umbra]

well they were always on my diet

nothing about cloudberries in the wiki's version history either

[odd marsh]

ahhhhh so they are real, Rubus chamaemorus

[vital umbra]

hi winter

[odd marsh]

thats cool,.... looks appetizing aswell

[vital umbra]

I have heard great things about cloudberries

from someone who was in norway for quite some time

[idle spoke]

This has to be the best game i have ever played in my entire life
From art, story, gameplay to building and such
Perfect fusion of everything

I want to buy it for my friend but its a lot over my budget, will it be on sale for around $7-8?

[nocturne wolf]

Many of valheim's recent sales have been 50% off

[idle spoke]

Thats $10 right?

[nocturne wolf]

Idk, not my currency

[idle spoke]

I use euros

do you maybe know when new sale will be up?

or the way i can find the key and buy it

its actually his birthday in 2 days so i think this game is the perfect gift

i have to throw him in the troll cave

[nocturne wolf]

Just make sure he knows that rolling can avoid damage first
I didn't know until halfway through the game, trolls were terrifying before then

[idle spoke]

i gotta get him the game first hahah but yeah i wont tell him, he has to get slapped first

[upbeat crypt]

I've never really played with rolling, this isn't dark souls lol

[plush umbra]

dark souls is one of the game's known inspirations, and the roll is pretty damn powerful 😅

[nocturne wolf]

For any attack short enough to be jumped over, jumping is always better

[errant knoll]

I, er, I accidentally left the door to my pen open.

"Mrs Tweedy! The chickens are revolting!"

[upbeat crypt]

I then wished they'd get inspired by Dark Souls lockon feature

[hollow jungle]

Why do the last 3 bosses have resistance to pierce?

[plush umbra]

to nerf bows

[hollow jungle]

Why nerf bows?

[plush umbra]

because they're a very powerful and kinda safe ranged weapon

[errant knoll]

High skill bows is insane

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth is a skeleton
Fader is partially a skeleton
For the queen it's just balancing

[hollow jungle]

It seems to me the Devs just don't want certain things way too much

[errant knoll]

Also the queen it isn't just balancing I think, the seekers in general resist all physical damage types anyway

Queen is just maintaining consistency

[nocturne wolf]

But the queen only resists pierce, not all of them

[errant knoll]

Did not realise that lol, that is quite strange

[hollow jungle]

They don't want you to have fall dmg immunity outside of mistlands so they nerfed the cloak as much as possible. They don't want you to use bows so they slap pierce resistance on every boss except the first 2 and moder

[errant knoll]

You can still use bows lol

[plush umbra]

and bows are so ridiculous that with the right arrows, they can ignore this resistance

[hollow jungle]

Yeah but it's clear that they don't want you to be using em against bosses

[errant knoll]

For yagluth you can use silver arrows, for the queen you can use frost arrows

[plush umbra]

they scale more with skill than any other weapon in the game due to the draw time reduction amplifying both the usual stamina cost reduction and damage increase

[nocturne wolf]

The jump boost has been moved to a cheap mead with jump stamina reduction that stacks with the cape, and fire weakness is worth it for the feather falling

[plush umbra]

because it's cheap

[errant knoll]

If you're like skill 80 plus bow even through resist bows are gonna be way better than any other weapon for fighting

Their dps is really good

[hollow jungle]

Ngl I'm not a bow user

I'm an axe user. I play with my brother who uses altgeir though and my cousin that is a bow user

[nocturne wolf]

I only use bows when I have to (drakes and gjalls ) and occasionally for fuling shamans

[errant knoll]

Same, and for people who aren't using primarily ranged builds, mistlands gives you crossbows, which are perfect

[plush umbra]

spears, atgeirs, crossbows and kinda knives are very unfortunate casualties of this balancing method, i'll give you that

[nocturne wolf]

If the next boss isn't blunt resistant, all bosses will be neutral or weak to blunt

[errant knoll]

Crossbows are fine, I don't think they're supposed to be a primary weapon type anyway

Something like knives and spears it does kinda suck though

[plush umbra]

and they sure are balanced that way, getting average benefits from levels

and levelling arbitrarily slowly for some reason

[errant knoll]

Crossbows let you prime for a fight with a burst of damage that uses no stamina. That burst gives them frontloaded power even at 0 skill

[hollow jungle]

This "balancing" method shouldn't be there to begin with

[plush umbra]

i use exclusively crossbows for ranged, i know their strengths and weaknesses.

[errant knoll]

I wasn't trying to claim you didn't.

I only bring it up because it's kinda fair that if they have that front loaded power that they don't scale the way bows do.

Not sure why so defensive

[plush umbra]

personally i think bows themselves should just be massively nerfed - take away the damage increase with levels entirely.
your dps already goes up due to the draw time reduction

[plush umbra]

i'm saying that doesn't work so well for bosses, the window to get backstab damage on them is extremely tight

[hollow jungle]

Nah don't nerf em either

Just remove the piercing resistance from bosses that shouldn't have em. Like the queen. Problem solved

[red parrot]

Guys, how can I find a place to build a house in the mountains?

[plush umbra]

and let bows be the safest and strongest option in the game by a mile?

[merry pebble]

Just a throwback to the "since when are cloudberries edible in-game" discussion, on wiki they got the "type=food" at February 17th 2021 😉

[errant knoll]

It doesn't, no - but that's fine again, they're supplementary weapons, better suited to the overworld

[plush umbra]

that i agree with

[hollow jungle]

Buff everything else

[plush umbra]

imo the melee expierence is fine as is, ranged is just too easy

or rather, bows ranged

[errant knoll]

I'm.sorry are you a member of the final fantasy xiv balancing team?

That's been that games design philosophy since inception and look at the sorry state that game is in now. It's so much easier to nerf 1 thing than buff everything else.

[hollow jungle]

Whatya mean easier ?

You just tweak a few dmg numbers and boom. You buff every other weapon. Problem solved

[plush umbra]

you gotta make sure it feels right and is fair in practice.
-# granted, the current melee balance is not very...balanced.

[hollow jungle]

Double the damage of every other weapon than bows. Boom balanced

[plush umbra]

especially if enemy health is raised to account for this new damage. and if you don't want that, why not just play on easy

[errant knoll]

But then the relative difficulty of the whole game goes down.

Nerf bows, get rid of the pierce resistance on bosses, then see how the game plays. Retweak again later as needed

[hollow jungle]

Why raise that?

Leave it as it is

[plush umbra]

because the balance on anything but bows is good enough as it is. enemies die at the pace they're intended to

if you raise all melee damage to x2, most common enemies are gonna be oneshot with biome-appropriate gear

[hollow jungle]

Seems balanced

[errant knoll]

I don't think enemies should be being 1 shot with biome appropriate gear

That seems kinda silly

[hollow jungle]

Nothing felt more balanced than going to the mountain and oneshotting with crystal battleaxe

[plush umbra]

it's very easy to time a hit to hit them before they even have a chance to hit you, giving them a window to hit you after you've hit them is almost the only way to make them a threat

[red parrot]

Guys, how can I find a place to build a house in the mountains?

[errant knoll]

As the game is, I'm already 3 shotting 0 star seekers with a fully upgraded blackmetal sword, and that's the prior biome, and seekers resisting slash damage

[pallid yoke]

I have a single player world on Xbox is it possible to upload that world to make it into a server? I'm on day 130 something and the only thing I've done is build, (I'll share screenshots if anyone wants to see)

[plush umbra]

but going with the likelihood of this just being bait, i'll just be off to make breakfast~

[errant knoll]

I don't think we're playing the same game if you think doubling the damage of all weapons will be balanced

[hollow jungle]

Why give them time a window to hit you? No need to make the recoveries larger

[hollow jungle]

Ehhhh. 3 shots are too much

[gray sand]

🥧

[hollow jungle]

2 is already too much

[pallid yoke]

Polearms are the best weapons. The spin attack is good for fighting off a swarm if surrounded, and you can punt small grey dwarfs like golf balls 😂

[errant knoll]

Yeah I'm going with this is bait lol

[hollow jungle]

They suck vs bosses

[errant knoll]

Have fun shouting at an empty room

[gray sand]

🎣

[pallid yoke]

Oh 100%

Anything but bosses they are fun to use

[errant knoll]

Also yeah, this. Atgeirs suck v bosses but overworld that secondary attack is insane

[hollow jungle]

My brother is altgeir enjoyer

[pallid yoke]

The all father himself wields a spear. I follow in his footsteps

[errant knoll]

One handed swords for much of my current playthrough here

[pallid yoke]

Is Jotunns bane a good axe? I unlocked the knowledge for it and wondering if it's worth crafting

[plush umbra]

atgeirs are my favourite weapon type, but clubs keep drawing me back in for just how good they are ´v`"

[nocturne wolf]

It's good in mistlands but poison is terrible in ashlands

[pallid yoke]

Bet

[gray sand]

Cult of the Blackmetal Atgeir

[errant knoll]

Swamp warping the entire game around clubs, and then frostner becoming part of the game atbthe mountain biome... yeah, that is definitely a balance concern lol

[hollow jungle]

Personally i go with the battle axe until i get the dual axes

[errant knoll]

And should you need piercing damage you even have porcupine

[plush umbra]

it's generally not a great damage type mechanically since each subsequent hit completely cancels the remaining ticks of the last hit, and you'd expect jotun bane to make up for this weakness by having a really high poison amount, but no it has exactly average numbered stats for its weapon class in mistlands. it is imo a very sad weapon.
sure, it can kill things, but imo not as good as it should.

[tacit crystal]

They grow in swampy areas in my country at least.

[gray sand]

-# The only thing worse than Poison is the knockback on Frostner.

[nocturne wolf]

The best way to judge weapons is by how good they are at launching greylings

[plush umbra]

first thing i do when i get a new one

[hollow jungle]

Btw how's the battle axe on mistlands?

The crystal one

[nocturne wolf]

The seekers have slash resistance and it's two biomes behind so not great. Use the black metal axe, it's faster with more damage and you need to make one anyway to progress.

[plush umbra]

and nothing in the biome takes spirit damage

[idle spoke]

hey, so is there any option for me to get the key for less than $10

[tacit crystal]

It has many disadvantages in Mistlands - 20% slower movement speed, slow 1st hit and many enemies are resistant against Slash.

[nocturne wolf]

The wide attacks are probably useful in infested mines but that's the only advantage I can think of

[tacit crystal]

Althought it has okay knockback that can help against groups, but still it is quite slow against Seekers.

[pallid yoke]

What's a good early-ish weapon to go for? Stagbreaker and Jotun bane aren't very my choice of wrapons

[plush umbra]

i wouldn't call jotun bane early either

[idle spoke]

stagbreaker

[hollow jungle]

The resistance is not just to slash but against physical in general lol

[nocturne wolf]

Abyssal razor

You can obtain it early and it has the stats of a swamp-tier knife

[tacit crystal]

I know. I mentioned Slash because that's the damage type for Battleaxes.

[hollow jungle]

Well most weapons don't rly do elemental anyway

[pallid yoke]

How do you get it? I've never heard of it

[nocturne wolf]

Find leviathans

[plush umbra]

true, pre-mistlands that's only frostner and...bows
-# well, also bombs and torches but those probably won't work so well as primary weapons by that point

[pallid yoke]

OHHHH that razor. Nvm I know what that is now

[tacit crystal]

Frostner is disputed as one of the best weapons when entering Mistlands because of its Frost damage.

[pallid yoke]

How do you get frostner?

[nocturne wolf]

The problem with frostner is that its stagger is incredibly low for a mace

[hollow jungle]

I'm not a mace user

[tacit crystal]

The Frost effect covers the lack of stagger.

[hollow jungle]

I have like lvl 4 clubs

[pallid yoke]

Would anyone like to see my base so far? I've done nothing for 130 in game days building it

[plush umbra]

it sort of compensates for that with knockback, if your use for stagger is a safe attack window.
creating distance gives you another chance for an easy first hit, or to focus on one enemy in a group.
but yea, if your intention with stagger is to use the x2 damage boost for a quick kill, that is a huge downside on frostner

[nocturne wolf]

The mace secondary attack is usually one of the highest stagger attacks of its tier but frostner only has 37% of the porcupine's stagger

[hollow jungle]

Either way I'll use crystal battleaxe until i get the dual axes

And fenris armor. Hopefully I won't suffer too much

[rocky widget]

is frostner 1 or 2 hand? cant remember

[plush umbra]

1 hand

[hollow jungle]

1

[rocky widget]

then you can use a shield or buckler right?

[plush umbra]

yes

[tacit crystal]

Crystal Battleaxe is better in Ashlands than in Mistlands.

[hollow jungle]

I know but in Ashlands I'll get my hands on dual wields

[rocky widget]

i primarily parry for staggering the enemy anyway so shouldnt that make up for the low stagger value on frostner?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, if you're parrying everything weapon stagger won't do much, but you can't stunlock an enemy as easily

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but you can use it as your starting weapon with better success in Ashlands (than in Mistlands) until you get the dual Axes.

[hollow jungle]

Ofc I'm gonna use it

I'll go throughout mistlands and plains with it too

Yeah ppl are immune to spirit but who cares? It's just a bonus for me

[plush umbra]

unfortunately the axe wasn't quite balanced that way. if it's just a bonus as it is for the silver sword, it should have slightly higher slash damage going by percentage increases.
especially considering it has a lot less spirit than the silver sword

but if it works for you, great

-# just saying if that's your main weapon in mistlands, i can kinda see why doubling all melee damage sounds fair to you

[rocky widget]

honestly except for bonemass i never bothered using anything but swords and shields. very versatile

[tawny kettle]

Hey, if I was to start a long term world, would there be any issues caused by the 1.0 update, like world generation?

[plush umbra]

as long as you don't go up to deep north, there should be no issues

and even then, only the parts you came near should remain incomplete after 1.0

[tawny kettle]

Alright, good to know ty

[hollow jungle]

I hate bonemass btw

The boss basically forces you to use maces

[rocky widget]

its a fun fight if youre not using a slash weapon

[hollow jungle]

Pierce too

[rocky widget]

or pierce yes

[hollow jungle]

It's basically "use maces. The end"

[hollow jungle]

I mean it has the same stats as jotun bane. And jotun bane is faster. But crystal battle axe due to being 2h has better modifiers on it's attacks

[rocky widget]

i know a guy who went full ballistic and used like 200 frost arrows on bonemass from an elevated position so i guess that works too xD

[hollow jungle]

My cousin did that too

[plush umbra]

both types have x1, x1, x2 on their combo but battleaxes are slower.
the only difference in per-hit damage is that 2-handed weapons generally don't have multi-target penalty (a 33% damage reduction for every additional target hit in one swing, including rocks, trees and terrain)

[vital umbra]

gn chat place thing 🧡

[hollow jungle]

Oh. Btw do you need jotun bane for ashlands cutting or nah?

[plush umbra]

seems no, black metal axe will do

[hollow jungle]

I see....

[plush umbra]

which isn't surprising, since ash wood isn't very important to progression and can be broken by many enemies there

[hollow jungle]

I rly don't wanna return to 1h and shield moveset but... I guess I'll have to

[plush umbra]

oh wow, apparently the tool tier of scorched trees is the lowest, so any axe should do

[rocky widget]

i guess that makes sense, its basically burnt anyway

[hollow jungle]

I guess I'll suffer for mistlands

Ngl so far from the 5 OG biomes

Swamp was my worst

[tacit crystal]

Have you used axes for whole playthrough?

[hollow jungle]

Yes

[tacit crystal]

For challenge or because you like them the best?

Which is not wrong if you like play that way

[errant knoll]

I take it back, Yggdrassl porridge isn't useless.

Bought the mistlands herb and when I couldn't make the feast just tried cooking various things till it appeared.

Wow the mistlands feast is kinda really good lol

And the porridge being required for it means it isn't useless

[tacit crystal]

Well, it was not useless by itself since it grants a bit more Eitr than Stuffed Mushroom, but it surely is costly (requiring Sap and Barley). And some liked using 3 Eitr foods.

But I agree, it is good that it is required on the Mistlands Feast.

[errant knoll]

For the 5 eitr gain over stuffed mushroom while being vastly more expensive to make?

I consider the Yggdrassl porridge basically useless if not for the feast lol

[hollow jungle]

I liked the crystal battle axe the best. Then i saw how awesome mistwalker looked like so my 2nd playthrough was swords. Then the third playthrough the dual axes came. And i love dual wielding more than anything do back to axes

[errant knoll]

Sure it's technical bis for an eitr build in mistlands but it's just not worth it in any sense

[tacit crystal]

Like I said, it surely is more costly in resources than the Stuffed mushroom.

Until you get proper Sap farms.

[errant knoll]

More costly than both stuffed mushroom AND seeker aspic.

Being more costly than seeker aspic while being worse is the bigger crime here

[hollow jungle]

Ngl axes are worse than swords up to mountain

[robust delta]

gotta give it up for maces having funny ragdolls though. surely that means they're the best 😏

[plush umbra]

yepp, that's partially deliberate, but possibly also just clumsy balancing.
they also serve as a tool, so they're intentionally a lil bit weaker.
but in hearth & home, they were set apart from swords by having their attack speed reduced and per-hit damage increased. it's just that that increase was small enough to still result in a loss of dps, and the per-hit damage is pretty small so breaking points didn't change much either.

[hollow jungle]

Maces are good I'm not gonna lie

[plush umbra]

and jotun bane vs mistwalker is a joke

[hollow jungle]

Well crystal battleaxe and the dual axes are great tho

The two types of axe that go toe to toe with swords

[plush umbra]

berserkr axes? absolutely
battleaxe? for its biome, yea

[errant knoll]

One handed axe has a basically non existent secondary attack, only useful for removing tree stumps basically

[pallid yoke]

First time landing at a swamp there was an abomination on the shore and didn't wake up until after I got off my ship😭

[hollow jungle]

Battleaxe is also good in the plains. Yes it doesn't have the spirit there outside of yagluth. But it does heavy damage on it's own

[pallid yoke]

How do you get duel axes?

[hollow jungle]

Ashlands

[plush umbra]

good? yea. as good as other options? debatable.

[pallid yoke]

[plush umbra]

i'm a firm believer in that "can it kill things? yes" is not a good measure of a weapon being appropriately balanced

...but in plains it's really not too bad, that was an overreaction on my part

[errant knoll]

Honestly plains is the time the weapons are most balanced as far as I can tell

[plush umbra]

hmmmm yea, can't think of a better example

[tacit crystal]

And Plains is the best place to return for testing new weapons from later biomes

[errant knoll]

Only thing I can think is that knives aren't particularly great vs crowds (villages) and sneak attacking lox with them isn't effective due to pierce resistance

[plush umbra]

-# you mean slash resistance

[errant knoll]

So they're a tad worse than other weapons at the same stage

Isn't knife secondary attack pierce?

[plush umbra]

all knife attacks are 50% pierce 50% slash damage

and lox are neutral to pierce, resistant to slash and blunt

[errant knoll]

They're neutral to pierce?

Has that always been the case?

[plush umbra]

yepp, that's why porcupine is kinda perfect where it is

[errant knoll]

Knife being 50 50 slash and pierce seems kinda trippy

[plush umbra]

they're the only weapon type with a split on their basic physical damage, yea

[errant knoll]

I'd always assumed some attacks were slash and some were pierce, based on the animation

[plush umbra]

yeaaa sadly that's not the case

the sword secondary deals slash, the battleaxe secondary also deals slash, the atgeir secondary deals pierce, etc.

[tacit crystal]

That's why spears and atgeirs are better than other melee weapons against Lox

[pallid yoke]

Finding the biggest chunk of metal to use as a weapon is always the best and more "balanced" option for the simple job of killing things 😂😂

[errant knoll]

Sword I knew it was all slash, for knife I made the assumption simply because both numbers were there

[plush umbra]

which is fair, i thought the same thing when i first played

[pallid yoke]

Can I use a single player world and upload it to a dedicated server on Xbox?

[errant knoll]

Regardless my original point still stands, I thunk knives struggle more than other weapons In plains, though they still have the advantage of being cheap.

[plush umbra]

it does stand yea

[errant knoll]

But I learned something new today haha

[tacit crystal]

I've seen some assuming atgeir secondary attack dealing slash and sword secondary dealing pierce.

[plush umbra]

fists too since they're even worse at sideways reach and only have slash by that point

[errant knoll]

For sword I didn't assume it because only slash damagebis listed on the weapon, and I assumed porcupine did both damage types on everything based on the model

[tacit crystal]

Yeah but because the secondary attack looking like it pierces through so some has assumed.

[errant knoll]

I can understand that.

[rocky widget]

considering how much damage the special attack does to the seekers i do doubt it, but i can see where the believers are coming from, it literally is a stab

[errant knoll]

Seekers are resistant to all physical damage types though, aside from soldiers butt and queen

[tacit crystal]

Queen is only resistant against Pierce of physical damage types.

[plush umbra]

weapons would be very balanced again in mistlands due to that, if elemental damage wasn't so...interestingly spread out

[errant knoll]

Poison mechanics make the axe an unfortunate casualty

[plush umbra]

and krom and skoll & hati just don't get any elemental.
they don't suck, especially not skoll & hati, but can we please remove multi-target penalty from krom like every other 2h weapon ;v;

[rocky widget]

skoll and hati is the best weapong for farmin mistland hares

[errant knoll]

Wait why on earth does krom have that?

Flame staff says hi, I think that's better for hares

[rocky widget]

well, best physical weapon

[plush umbra]

my theory is that it was an accident.
because one-handed swords lost multi-target penalty in the mistlands update.
i'm pretty sure they created 2h swords by copying sword assets, then later went back to remove MTP from them but did so to the wrong animations

so now both types of swords stand out for being weird about multi-target penalty
1h for being the only 1h weapon without it, and 2h for being the only 2h weapon with it

[errant knoll]

:notlikethis:

[tacit crystal]

Hopefully it gets fix soon™

[shy marlin]

2h swords with cleave would be so good

2h swords lose a lot of their value because the attack chain often hits rocks, trees etc

[rain flare]

OK, that was funny

I was out fishing, and had just caught myself a tier 3 trollfish

Not even a moment after I had reeled in my prize, a second troll fish lept out of the water and snapped at my bait 🤣
2 lovely fishies for 1 bait ❤️
Not bad for a day on the lake 🤭

[rocky widget]

it was his dream to be a professional lunch it seems

[rain flare]

Well, he is getting turned into a sailor's bounty, so that is pretty good standards

What do you know?
He was such a good fish I got 2 cooked fishies out of him

[agile turret]

Hey just came back after some time, did the suggestion channel get nuked? Is it gonna be cleared every new years?

[rain flare]

How long is some time?

[agile turret]

Like a year or two

[rain flare]

The entire server got wiped a while ago due to a hack

[merry pebble]

Yep, in late january

[rain flare]

The hacks should have checked who they were messing with 🤣
Odin's chosen don't die so easily

[rain flare]

Welcome back by the way

[agile turret]

We didn't have any1 come up saying they backed up the messages did we?

[rain flare]

Sadly no

[idle spoke]

couldnt find the game for $8, not sure what to do
any suggestions where to get it for that amount?

i want to gift it to my buddy

[rain flare]

Steam has great specials - not sure if it would be exactly $8

[idle spoke]

:/

gotcha

[rain flare]

For me it was like 80 of my currency - would probably be MUCH cheaper in dollars

we are sitting on like 18-16 to the dollar

Is someone pulling the beard of odin today???
First cultist in my new world and he gave me a trophy!!!

Fess up!
Which one of you is tugging on the old man's tash?

[tacit crystal]

It was quite sad it happened, I left the server just in case so my profile shows that I joined this February even thought I was there much earlier than that.

[alpine temple]

I'm just starting the game, can I play online or do they all require a key/code unless I play solo?

[rain flare]

I got lucky - nobody tagged my profile so I got to stay
Pretty sure you’ve been here waaay longer than me though ❤️

[rain flare]

You can play online - all multiplayer games are hosted by individual people who just set their worlds to allow other people to join in, so check #1024264966712340510 for someone who wants to play with you

[rocky widget]

oh i remember that. the server looked weird for a while until they regained control

[rain flare]

I’m still waiting for a confession by the way 🤣🤭

[tacit crystal]

I at least participated in Mistlands PTB but not sure if I was in the server then - probably I was.

[rain flare]

Probably - how would you give the dev’s that sweat feedback if you aren’t in this discord? 😂🥰

[outer agate]

does anyone wanna start a new world

[tacit crystal]

True, now I remember I was pretty vocal about nerfing Gjalls and Seekers back then

Gjalls are at good state now but still I hope the Seeker AI get unnerfed.

[rain flare]

Machine gun gjalls were apparently quite toxic 😂

Seekers having wolf mechanics sounds quite difficult but makes sense since they seek you

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[tacit crystal]

I liked when they were more difficult to deal with. Now they attack and circle around like fools. And now there are World Modifiers to make enemies easier.

[hidden brook]

what other wood can i use to make wood walls?

regular wood is boring and others are only pillars

[pliant hatch]

You can use the core wood next to one another or on top of another to create walls like a log cabin.
But for regular walls we don't have other wood as the "normal" wood.

[plush umbra]

there's ash wood

[hidden brook]

im in the swamp biome btw*

[hidden brook]

good idea, thank you

on the topic, any idea of what i should build?

got the stonecutter, core wood etc

[fading crater]

Just starting new world check on https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1305210792949579827

[pliant hatch]

I got plenty of ideas, but it's more important what you like.

A large house with at least two floors would be good, as you will need to craft multiple items to increase your rested bonus. Having a "living room / kitchen" area at the ground floor and a bed above that area helps. Put the bed next to the chimney so the smoke won't choke you.

There are multiple crafting options for the kitchen area, so you will need a lot of space. Think of a large fire, the cauldron and all its upgrades, mead kettle, food preparation table, at least one fermentor and an oven all needing its space.
If you don't know how large things are, activate dev-commands, hit B to get all the items under the hammer - just don't place them - and look how much room is needed. Use a common wood beam or a log beam for reference.

For the next floor, make sure you got enough room for multiple beds, at least one armor rack, rugs and banners. But most important, make sure the beds are close to the fire and benefit of the items you have at the ground floor in your "living room"; as each item has a bubble in which it increases the rested bonus.
However, different versions of the same item - i.e. a stool and a chair - won't stack its influence. Only the highest one counts.

As for crafting areas; keep in mind you will need lots of space. Each workbench got its upgrades and you will eventually end up with 5 different types and its upgrades. One idea is to put them along the walls with a row of storage chests in the center for easy access.

You may scroll through here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202264206628630548 to look at some ideas.

But in general, build the way you like it. No-one's going to judge you if it's fugly. As long as you're pleased with it and it's working, it should be ok.

[long locust]

alright, first time fighting the queen wish me luck

[rain flare]

Do you have a feather cape?

If you don't, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, get one

[quaint ledge]

Agreed feather cape is amazing

[rain flare]

Uhm...
It is essential unless you want a quick death against the queen

If you don't have one, be careful 🙈

[long locust]

I have it, did not realize I'd need my wisplight in there though lmao

ran out immediately gonna go grab that

poor haldor belt

I've got all the schmovement meads so I can do good dodgy stuff, should probably snag bonemass power too

[hidden brook]

ehhh i forgot to mention i live in a fat village with a few friends 😂 we each have different roles and ive got the logging role

i did get a layout though

its like a H - the left line is 2x7, the middle connecting is 2x5, and the other line is again 2x7

gonna add a roof and use that as extra storage space

[pliant hatch]

Shouldn't you rename yourself to Woody Woodpecker then? 🤔

[hidden brook]

perhaps

ehhh idk if i like this design

[hidden brook]

#building-screenshots

yeah nah screw this shit

its going down

[urban ivy]

Today I found out trolls can swim. Whelp.

[hidden brook]

they can?

[urban ivy]

I sniped at a troll from my boat, thinking they were scared of water, and bro just turned around and walked/swam right through the ocean out to my boat and fucked me up

[rain flare]

They aren't so much swimming as that they are tall enough to walk to you 🤣

[rocky widget]

most mobs arent really bothered by water, they just walk on over and slap you, physics be damned

[rain flare]

For skeletons, draugr, or any kind of undead check #memes-and-clips 🤣

[long locust]

NO DEATHS RAAAH LONG LIVE THE QUEEN

took ~25 minutes, rested buff ran out a few seconds before I killed her lol

that was by far my favorite boss fight in this entire game so far

I don't think I'll ever need to go farming royal jelly again...

[wooden tapir]

you will

[long locust]

this is so sad

at least I marked the mines that had a lot in them

[wooden tapir]

yea, major health meads need it

[rain flare]

Well done!

[wooden tapir]

and you will always need those

[long locust]

idk how to tell you this but I probably have almost 1000 jelly from the sealbreaker hunting and boss combined

[wooden tapir]

if you plan to play for a long time, you will eventually run out

[onyx pier]

I.... did not know that

[rain flare]

I like this

[long locust]

I seem to have overestimated my jelly count I have around 500

either way enough to fill up way too much of my food ingredients chest, I'm gonna be jelly farming free for a good while

[rain flare]

Also, you won't need so much jelly once you get to the ashlands

It has an alternative health mead - but you'll need to decide which works better for you

[wooden tapir]

i had probably 2000 soft tissue ( my mega base is all black marble, so just naturally got a lot of soft tissue)

im down to like 100 left

[onyx pier]

Oh jeez, you rich

[wooden tapir]

maybe not 2000

but 3/4 of a blackmetal chest

[rain flare]

When you've been playing long enough, you just have too much stuff 🤣

[wooden tapir]

yea im 700 days in, i just have lots of stuff around everywhere

[long locust]

I'm around 400 days in I think

I'm sure my maiden voyage to the ashlands won't be that scary

[onyx pier]

I was exactly 366 days before bog witch broke the game for me

[rain flare]

sailing there isn't there isn't the issue
Getting a safe place to land is

[wooden tapir]

yea expect to fight for your territory

[rain flare]

Took me an hour to clear out a space to settle when I started

[long locust]

can't wait for vietheim part 2

[rain flare]

So I learned from that and now I just plop down a portal on one of the ocean spikes

[wooden tapir]

at all costs, do not die before you get a portal down

ashlands was made to sail to 1 time, not back and forth like the other biomes

[rain flare]

Yeah, that's why I started building based on the ocean spikes 😆

[long locust]

I'm uh, gonna start prepping that shield core then huh

[wooden tapir]

bring mats for a stonecutter as well

[rain flare]

Good plan

[long locust]

I don't like the sound of that

[rain flare]

You get alot of stone stuff on the other side - makes for decent stone base

[long locust]

I mean, I bring stonecutters with me for pretty much every base I make since I love stone, but I've never had someone specifically instruct me to bring one

[wooden tapir]

there is a special item that you unlock that you need a stonecutter for

[long locust]

grausten I presume?

[rain flare]

Nah - something better

[long locust]

oh

[rain flare]

You'll enjoy it - I promise ❤️

[long locust]

holy shit I'm gonna need a bigger port, I'm glad I didn't start building it until after I killed the queen

it would not have fit the drakkar at all, thing takes up almost my entire forge from just the preview

[wooden tapir]

it is quite the ship

[rain flare]

You can literally take a lox or two to the ashlands if you want that thing is so big

[long locust]

cupcake jr. and gorlock might be going on a road trip

kidding, they're gonna stay home and safe in their little pen I made, I don't want my lox getting incinerated

[rain flare]

Remember what Dale said about it being a one way trip - stock that bad boy with all the goodies you need
It's literally got enough cargo space to be a second inventory

[long locust]

do I even wanna ask why it's a one way trip

[wooden tapir]

anything youthink you might need

[rain flare]

Navigation - the ocean spikes are hel

You don't want to sail there twice if you can help it

Big ship - not alot of room to sail it

[wooden tapir]

you will see when you get there

lots of fun tho

[rain flare]

The music is the best 🤩

[urban ivy]

Oh christ - was just sailing home at night time, pitch black, very foggy so couldn't see anything 1ft away from the boat - was relying entirely on the mini map to get me home.

Suddenly, lit only by the moonlight, a HUGE serpent mouth appears in front of the boat 😂 I screamed!!

[long locust]

I got a small taste of the ashlands environment on a friend's world, I was impressed that they managed to make a biome more depressing than the swamp

[rain flare]

I had this happen when I was out fishing in a karve
Was not impressed and made some fish-sticks 🤣

[wooden tapir]

at night, during an ash storm, you actually cant see at all. you are blindly exploring the desolate wateland

[rain flare]

And the mainland music is a MOOD

[urban ivy]

I'm a karve too!!

[pliant hatch]

What I usually do when building the Drakar is sail as far down south with a longboat as I can, then build a small outpost / harbor at an island.
Put a portal and a workbench there, teleport all items I'm going to need to build the drakar over, create that air craft carrier and sail the last part into Ashlands.

Save me about 75% of the travel time. 😄

[rain flare]

Smart!

[long locust]

I was scared by the fact mistlands made the plains feel relaxing, now I'm even more scared for how relaxing the mistlands will be compared to the ashlands

[pliant hatch]

Just imagine how relaxing the Ashlands will be compared to the Deep North.......

[long locust]

don't say that

[rain flare]

The devs did say they want it to be more... Chill than ashlands

[pliant hatch]

Kinda like: "Let's run down without weapons and armor in plains" kinda relaxing. 😄

[wooden tapir]

i thought the mistlands was fairly relaxing, its not very filled with enemies. only things that were a problem were gjalls

[rain flare]

Mistlands still my favourite biome

[long locust]

mistlands was relaxing like 50% of the time, the other 50% of the time it was actually just a horror game

[wooden tapir]

asthetically mistlands is my fav

[long locust]

my first encounter with a gjall was just vibing with some dvergr in their encampment, then I see a few tentacles dangle through the mist as I hear an air raid siren before my dvergr friend got incinerated

[wooden tapir]

the night sky in the ashlands is uncomparable

same with the thunder storms

sometimes i just stand outside my base and watch the sky

i think i only died like 5 times in the mistlands, wich is the lowest of any biome for me

[rain flare]

My favourite place to build is in the ashlands ocean
The music, the sky, the blood red boiling ocean

So beautiful - I've built several monolyths out of black marble in creative there - it's just so good

[rain flare]

This is honestly due to the mist
People always complain that they hate the mistlands mist, but honestly it's making your life easier when fighting mobs
Can't handle the heat?
Just run away - the mobs will lose you in the mists 9 times out of 10

[wooden tapir]

i fought everything i encountered, its just way less populated than the other biomes imo

except dvergrs, i let them chill. not an enemy of mine

i took like 5 of their extractors, then left them alone

[long locust]

alright, current plan for the ashlands is just to get in, set up a small outpost with the portal asap, and then get out to grab materials for a proper outpost later

[rain flare]

Good luck!

[wooden tapir]

you forgot the, fight for my right to build an outpost

[long locust]

I'm willfully omitting that part of the plan for now

[wooden tapir]

getting into the ashlands without fighting is near impossible

[long locust]

thankfully the ashlands isn't a super far distance from my current main base

my plains island ended up being in a very southern part of the world

[rain flare]

Not if you build in on an ocean pillar - nobody is contesting that except for 2 mobs that you can handle pretty easy

[wooden tapir]

who knows, maybe a bonemaw has claimed that pillar

[long locust]

I thought I saw a glimpse of land already, nope it's just a random chunk of black forest in the middle of odin's asscrack nowhere

[wooden tapir]

@long locust gl with your adventure! i hope you make it

[long locust]

I swear the black forest never fails to disappoint whenever I'm sailing

[rain flare]

I like snacks on my roadtrips ❤️

[long locust]

oh, I see the spikes

almost threw myself into the boiling ocean to grab a shroom I saw

[rain flare]

Don't do that 😆
There are plenty more of those in the actual biome - also, DON'T poke the shiny rocks

[wooden tapir]

as a hoarder myself, you will have plenty of stuff to grab on the main island, dont worry about the random stuff on the spikes

[long locust]

this is not a fun road trip

[wooden tapir]

1 way trip (:

[rain flare]

At least you have some sweet music to listen too 🥳

[long locust]

I got a bonemaw trophy yipee

[long locust]

I landed on a dvergr encampment LMAO

[wooden tapir]

thats the best way unfortunately

[rotund parrot]

That's the reason I build in the plain, more than halfway on the map. Constant black metal delivery

If you are far away, just take that boat from camp to camp and just go back once you have a good amount

[wooden tapir]

i constantly have blackmetal scattered everywhere due to fuelings spawning in any biome at night

i had a stack of blackmetal at the top of a mountain

or you can mess with the world modifiers, and let metals be telaportable

yea im not a fan either, making boat trips does suck sometimes

but id rather suck it up than let them be teleportable

[chilly wharf]

cheating having fun

[wooden tapir]

its not that bad

sailing only sucks if the wind hates you

how do u hide ui?

[merry pebble]

Ctrl+F3

[wooden tapir]

ty

might be time to go do more black marble farming, actually finish my base (its been incomplete for months, its in a livable state but still lots to do)

[hollow jungle]

An issue i see with this game

You can't train your magic until the mistlands.. so your magic will always be on low level

You can't play with magic for like 5/7 of the game

[merry pebble]

Not always 🙂 you will level it up eventualy, also levels are really not that important

[hollow jungle]

They seem ultra important. You have low lvl = no dmg with the best dmg
100 lvl = 100000 dmg with the club

[merry pebble]

That is not even remotly true...

[hidden gorge]

skill levels aren't that important

[merry pebble]

bows +141% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage, -80% draw time and clubs +141% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage

[hidden gorge]

bow draw time is a big exception

[merry pebble]

I agree that bow skill is somewhat more important if you use bows, but even with low level you can still function well

[wooden tapir]

i think only blood magic is op with 700 shield at lvl 100

[hollow jungle]

Ngl if it was up to me

[wooden tapir]

also all skills are "easy" to levle up, but take a lot of time investment

[hollow jungle]

I would buff the dmg of bows by 600% and remove the "draw time" bonus

On the skills

[merry pebble]

Sure, because we don't have something like this, totaly don't call it a crossbow...

Also, just how much more op bows you want?

[hollow jungle]

I'm not a bow user but they are kinda underwhelming RN

[merry pebble]

Are you using crude bow?

[hollow jungle]

Maybe the witch could sell something like "endless quiver of arrows" which allows you to have infinite arrows.

[hollow jungle]

I'm not using one at all

[merry pebble]

Then why are you complaining about them?

[rotund parrot]

I find my non existing bugatti very underwhelming too

[hollow jungle]

I have friends who play them

[merry pebble]

Yeah, i am so sad i can't fly the helicopter i don't have, devs fix pls...

[bronze vessel]

Guess who just got the game :D.

[merry pebble]

Welcome in 😄

[rocky widget]

welcome, i hope you havent planned anything for the next 500000 hours of your life

[bronze vessel]

I can believe that thats how I die

I have 2 hours of gameplay so far.

[hidden brook]

can i somehow decrease the radius of the ward?

[bronze vessel]

and nothing has been able to kill me. BUT I DIED to a tree

[chilly wharf]

It's a right of passage

[errant knoll]

The forest is moving...

Rite of passage

[merry pebble]

nope

[bronze vessel]

I was chopping a tree and it fell on me

[patent wren]

time honored tradition of the self-inflicted bonk

[bronze vessel]

I guess its cool that my first ever death was by a tree

[merry pebble]

Most of ours were too 😄

[errant knoll]

I am not ashamed to say my first death was to a boar, lol

My first death to a tree came much later honestly lol

[warm sandal]

my first death ever was by a greyling 😄 did not know about eating and had not found the food by the stones and that greyling would not let up 😄

[errant knoll]

And that's precisely why my first death was to a boar too, didn't know about eating, had fought a bunch of enemies without dying but got hit enough times without ever regenerating hp

[nocturne wolf]

My first death was to my first tree

[languid vessel]

The bloody wind engine is sentient and it hates me

Every damn time i set sail the wind turns to a headwind in the direction i need to sail

50/50 chance its going to be too stormy to see anything

[arctic garnet]

I like that we can finally make barrels. Hoping for the boxes ala cart cargo eventually.

[pliant hatch]

I was surprised we could transport the barrel rings through a portal, knowing some of Hildir's metal items can't.

[arctic garnet]

i enabled teleport all items 🥴
I think it makes sense considering it's not really for anything that important or like a gameplay milestone

[pliant hatch]

Nor is that iron fire pit Hildir sells....

[errant knoll]

There is actually a gameplay milestone where eventually all items become teleportable

[arctic garnet]

Oh yeah, the special teleporters.
It's all the way in the Ashlands, but yeah.

[arctic garnet]

Yeah, it's just a more convenient bronze uh brazier or something I figure.

[austere belfry]

was happy to find 3 infested mines nearby each other after looking far and wide... no cores or seals in any of them

[errant knoll]

That is rough, my condolences.

Lacking black cores is the absolute worst

[glacial hull]

can someone help me with yagluth

[errant knoll]

What kind of help? Help actually fighting him, or do you mean like preparation tips?

[glacial hull]

i mean come help his regen is making this take forever

[errant knoll]

How are you fighting him, out of curiosity?

[warm sandal]

i am such a mess with that arbalest... i can not hit anything if it is not as big as a queen 😛

[errant knoll]

I can't help actually fighting but I do want to say that silver weapons actually do a better job of hurting yagluth than blackmetal

[glacial hull]

im using black metal sword but mostly frozen arrows

[warm sandal]

i recomend frostner that is what i am using all the time 😄 sprit and blunt will get to him

[glacial hull]

I dont have enough silver for frostner rn cry

[warm sandal]

and he is pierce resist which does make arrows of any type a not so good choice

For Yagluth, cling to its butt (well, where it used to be anyway).
That way he can't hit you, but you can hit it. When he turns, just turn with him and hit that butt again. Works quite well.

Silver arrows might be better than frost for yagluth, and Silver is a relatively low demand metal, though I've never actually fought yagluth with bow and arrow

(it doesent matter if it is slash or blunt, he is neutral to both 😉 but he takes the spirit and frost which are also neutral)

Yeah frostner is a real good choice as he is neutral to the damage..as far as I recall.. he is weak to none?

[warm sandal]

to far from the wall??

[wooden tapir]

no because then they would say " needs a wall"

[merry pebble]

Nope, he is a powerhouse, not weak to anything 😄

[warm sandal]
