[glacial hull]

but nobody wants to come in and help me finish him?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, first decision should be if you have higher sword or clubs level 😄 that way its frostner or Silver/BM swords, and between those its just "which one do i have materials for?" 🙂

[wooden tapir]

most of the time they work fine, but sometimes yea they just disappear

[errant knoll]

If I recall I think I remember doing numbers and seeing that silver sword is the best weapon vs yagluth for damage, however it's just about the only thing silver sword is good for, frostner is slightly less vs yagluth but way better for other things

[sweet fox]

How can I find my worlds seed without using a dedicated server 💀

[wooden tapir]

it should display the seed before you load into the world

in the world selection screen

[merry pebble]

Yeah, iirc its 1) Silver sword 2) Frostner 3) BM sword 🙂

[sweet fox]

We're far past that

[rocky widget]

i thought thats just how the game is supposed to work?

[wooden tapir]

are you on a dedicated server? or private?

[sweet fox]

Private

[wooden tapir]

log out, look at the seed

[warm sandal]

then log out and look for it and log back in 😄

[sweet fox]

Oh 💀

Where would I see it?

[wooden tapir]

right next to the world name

[sweet fox]

Mkay

[warm sandal]

I do love a lot how the feasts do look eaten from after you use them 😄 like have a pie left and the meat getting less 😄 very nice touch

[wooden tapir]

oh do they? i havent eaten them enough to see a difference

or havent been paying attention

[warm sandal]

I just ate the second time from the plains one and now the pie is only half in the middle 😄

[errant knoll]

I wasn't particularly impressed with the stats on the early feasts so mostly ignored them this playthrough. I got the mats for mistlands feast and suddenly I'm very impressed again

[wooden tapir]

they are pretty nice for just casually doing base stuff

[errant knoll]

They are, but casually doing base stuff I'd rather stam heavy foods than balance

However the mistlands feast is a huge load of stats while being balanced, and I think even if you're not doing an eitr build it's still more raw stats than other foods of the time

[wooden tapir]

i do have 2 powders i havent figured out how to use yet

[errant knoll]

You might have to make normally cooked meats or cook cauldron recipes you never made before to unlock them

[wooden tapir]

maybe

[errant knoll]

Cause mistlands feast required both cooked seeker meat and yggdrassl porridge, and I has made neither until I got the powder and found I couldn't use it yet

[wooden tapir]

ive never cooked a seeker meat so thats probably it

[errant knoll]

Do it the mistlands feast is very worthwhile. It's like, 65 hp and stam, 33 eitr

35 maybe. It's very good

If you find you can't make a thing with the powder yet start making all the foods from that biome that you can which you haven't made yet

Eventually you'll unlock the recipe

[worn bear]

arbalest is my favorite .. with practice youcan kill deathsquitoes and fulings at 300 yards sniper weapon

[errant knoll]

Deathsquitos I've become a master at slashing them right as they're about to sting me

[worn bear]

been looking for a feast with eitr

[wooden tapir]

i wonder what the ashlands one takes, can you cook an askvin tail?

[errant knoll]

||full recipe so you know what to make for the unlock.

The mistlands powder from bog witch

3 cooked seeker meats

1 mistlands hare supreme

1 yggdrassl porridge||

[wooden tapir]

you can in fact cook askvin tail

i didnt know feasts give 10 eats out of each feast, so i made 5 of every feast, ill be stocked for a while

i need to make my table bigger

[warm sandal]

Building a forward outpost in the ashlands... i am usually none to build terrain walls...but man if you want to get some respite you gotta or you'll be fighting constantly 😄

even went to the exteme to put up stakes and a ballista to shoot charred 😄

[wooden tapir]

rats im out of jelly

[errant knoll]

Oh man, I'm gonna hate the ashlands already, I can feel it. I'm too lazy for proper building lol

And I just killed the queen too (British secret services, so you know, I am talking about a video game)

[warm sandal]

Wow... i died right on the terrain wall.. overlooked that blob that was behind me 😦

[errant knoll]

Oh, by the way... are dvergr tankards rare?

I just found one

[wooden tapir]

not rly

[rocky widget]

they are basically in every dvergr structure

same with the lanterns

and they dont even mind if you take them

[wooden tapir]

wait enemies in infected mines respawn?

[errant knoll]

Ah ok

[wooden tapir]

uh

[warm sandal]

this is slow going... i wanted to make sure i have a ash1 Portal to come back to if things go bad while i am exploring...so i need to build at least some defence... and now i need to stop doing stuff that pushes my adrenalin up... need to sleep soon 😄

[wooden tapir]

need to stop spending my gold im running out ( i still have 8k gold)

oh these barrels are pretty cool

[errant knoll]

Is there a bug at the moment where throwing black marble on the ground means it vanishes?

I've had 2 separate instances of throwing like, the odd 1 black marble out of my inventory only temporarily, only for it to completely vanish instantaneously.

Both times it happened near modified soil

[hidden brook]

anyone got suggestions on how to decorate my house? (killed bonemass) #building-screenshots

[gray sand]

Build.
If not happy, delete and rebuild.
Repeat until happy.

[hidden brook]

im happy i just dont know what other decorations

[rocky widget]

the valheim wiki has a list of decoration items that increase your rested buff, you might wanna look into that to get the best out of a good nights sleep

[hidden brook]

ive got 9 whats the max?

[gray sand]

Like 17?

[rocky widget]

uh...i think 18 with all the seasonal items? something like that

[hidden brook]

DAMN

[wooden tapir]

17 without maypole or xmas tree

so prob 19 is max

[gray sand]

14 is always my target.

[hidden brook]

got it to 12 using only a throne

oh ive got to be sat in the throne for 12, standing up ive got 10

[gray sand]

14 gives you an exact daylight timer.

[hidden brook]

ive got a deer rug, banner, regular table, hearth, armor stand, dragon bed and stone throne

idk what else to add

[gray sand]

Once you have Tar you can build a better table, or add the Hot Tub (which is +2 by itself)

[hidden brook]

any other items i can add at my level? not killed moder yet

[gray sand]

Wiki has a full list of all comfort items.

[errant knoll]

You should be able to gather tar from the plains, you don't need to kill moder to do that

[hidden brook]

cant find the comfort items tbh

[rotund parrot]

You don't need to sit on it, it just needs to be nearby to count

[errant knoll]

And that gives a bit more comfort

[gray sand]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort

Very difficult to locate...

[errant knoll]

My hens woohoo time got interrupted by a skeleton surprise

[hidden brook]

searched it up didnt show up

[hidden brook]

oh you mean REALLY close okay

placed a log down next to myself and i get max 12 🤔

[rotund parrot]

I don't it's just that all of the items that gives comfort needs to be within a certain distance

[austere belfry]

Finally got the cores, need 3 more seals

[hidden brook]

oh its because ive got a chair

[hidden brook]

gotcha, i was outside under my base, placed the log and got to 12, placed it inside my base and it stayed at 10 😭

i hit 13 okay

[errant knoll]

Is there any particular reason my hens won't leave the corner?

[hidden brook]

my stone throne breaks itself for no reason lol??

[errant knoll]

Can't be placed on wood without support from iron or stone

[rotund parrot]

It's not connected to the ground or stone

[hidden brook]

i somehow managed to do that tho

okay i put a pillar under the floor, placed the stone seat next to my bed and stuck at 11 restng

[errant knoll]

As in, you can place it but it will immediately break

[hidden brook]

but when i stand up i hit 13 immediately

[hidden brook]

yup yup simply put some stone under the thing youre trying to put it on

[rotund parrot]

You will never have the maximum rested bonus everywhere but you want it somewhere and you just go by that spot at one point to get it before you leave the base

[errant knoll]

I'm like Sevrahn, rather than going for the max I shoot for 14 comfort to get exactly 21 minutes

Like I know I can get more than that, I just choose not to

[daring mountain]

yo

my valheim keeps crashing any fixes?

[vital umbra]

siren soule and evo

salutations

[errant knoll]

Hellooooo

[daring mountain]

does anybody and fixes for valheim

my games keeps crashing every 10 mins

[hollow hinge]

@daring mountain u got mods?

[daring mountain]

world modifers or just mods?

[gray sand]

Mods.

Sliders wouldn't crash anything.

[daring mountain]

i have 0 mods

[gray sand]

Then what Smiffe recommended in the other channel is your best bet.

[daring mountain]

alright sounds good

[wooden tapir]

couple 2 star askvin should be able to handle most things that fall in my trench i think

im always out of sap

[languid vessel]

The trolstav is the single best peice of woodfarming equipment

[nocturne wolf]

It’s great for mining too

[errant knoll]

Right I'm getting salty now, some items just disappear from the floor in areas they shouldn't

I just lost 5 black cores because a seeker destroyed a black forge through a wall and they've just vanished. All other mats are fine, but no cores

Can't be losing cores. That's not on

[queen laurel]

HI

[vital umbra]

low

[nocturne wolf]

Unless you’re putting them in a bonfire 🎆

[queen laurel]

i want to play with anyone

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[wooden tapir]

@errant knoll if they are vanishing you could summon them in with console commands, because yea they shouldnt be just disappearing like that

[errant knoll]

It might be a weird thing on steam deck where I can't see them for some reason, I've noticed draw distance just seems stupidly low for everything. Maybe the black cores have phased inside a wall?

[wooden tapir]

could have

or the floor

[errant knoll]

I checked the floor beneath

I have had weird things in this place before where not enough refined eitr would be on the floor when I got back, and later some would just randomly be sitting outside the top floor

So it could be that it will show up mysteriously on the outside later

[wooden tapir]

the only bug ive been constantly experiencing, is when i try to build i have to right click several times because it will just not keep the build menu open. but that could be a mod i have on causing that

[fair kindle]

and loose items aren't merging together so that 1 loose item actually holds multiple?

[frail wagon]

i love making basements but its SO annoying to do

[wooden tapir]

staff of the wild is a lot of fun once you upgrade it a few times

5 tenticles is kinda op

[vital umbra]

did someone say tentacles

[vocal rivet]

Technically no.

[vital umbra]

yeahh unfortunate that one

[wooden tapir]

for some reason my "resting" buff keeps going on and off even tho im not moving at all

i continue to have fire and shelter but resting is not constant

[austere belfry]

finallyyyyy got all the seal breakers

[slate grove]

Why is it that ashlands skeletons aren’t weak to blunt damage?

[wooden tapir]

maybe from their warrior background they are used to blunt dmg

[nocturne wolf]

Balancing

[slate grove]

How are y’all able to thrive In Ashland’s as a melee character? As melee player it’s ridiculously difficult

[wooden tapir]

it is difficult, it gets easier as you learn the enemies better

[austere belfry]

off to try the queen

[shy marlin]

Atgeir, arbalest (ranged but i'm just assuming ur non-magic), mistwalker with buckler

I go 3stamina but if you're struggling i'd go 2hp 1stamina for food, bring lingering stam meads/hp meads

[nocturne wolf]

Like every other biome, simply jumping over everything works against many enemies

[livid zenith]

There might be enemies nearby that are aggroing then de-aggroing

[austere belfry]

dumbass skeleton army raid killed my beloved lox

[wooden tapir]

ah yes that is quite the dilema

[keen cliff]

in case anyone was wondering, i've just confirmed that a tamed animal will NOT eat from a food placed by the serving tray. i used hungry askvin with a placed vineberry cluster. he wouldn't eat it

[keen cliff]

i did my initial Ashlands stuff with a mage build. But at least with Ashlands gear, I've found melee to be fine. Faster against a lot of mobs. I've settled into exploring as melee, and then taking fortresses as a mage.

i'm also not particularly good with melee lol

[livid zenith]

I enjoyed Ashlands melee because with 3 Ashlands health food you get ~160 stamina, loved parrying and fighting everything

[keen cliff]

I've been doing HHS. Ashlands weapons eat a lot of stamina.

[nocturne wolf]

HSS

[tacit crystal]

Damn... Double Krom crafting

[livid zenith]

What do you need 280 stamina for?

[shy marlin]

what do you need 200 hp for?

[nocturne wolf]

For dodging and attacking. How else am I going to kill enemies?

[livid zenith]

Parrying starred Ashlands enemies

[shy marlin]

why parry when you can just be proactive with the atgeir

[livid zenith]

Also it’s 300 HP

[livid zenith]

Because that costs more stamina

[shy marlin]

what

I cannot man

[livid zenith]

More health means I can be bad at the game more frequently, so parrying is a preferable choice

[slate grove]

You’re using atgeir in ashlands? I have a lvl 3 himinafl and it wasn’t particularly effective

[keen cliff]

i'm pretty bad at the game, so i feel this. But, i need more stamina to attack more since i'm bad

[nocturne wolf]

How is more attacking bad?

[keen cliff]

just roll with the jokes for once

or i'll call you Derek

[shy marlin]

lmao

[long locust]

yk I'll hate myself for it but I'm absolutely gonna build myself a whole ass fortress in the ashlands at some point

or at the very least a black marble tower with some basic needs

[keen cliff]

smarter to use an existing fortress as your base foundation at least. high, invulnerable walls are hard to beat

[vital umbra]

I moved my entire base to the ashlands once, big ol fucking black marble castle.

i hate lava blobs

i use two health if i have heavy armour

if i have heavy armour i'm going to use a shield and parry, if i have light armour i'm going to dodge, if i have magic i'm going to run away.

[livid zenith]

I built a small stone castle wall in Ashlands for my first base, but it was on a side island so I never used it, then I just used cleared out charred fortresses with portals inside on the mainland

[vital umbra]

i feel i have found that 3 eitr foods for a full mage build is basically the best, am i false.

[nocturne wolf]

I like 2 eitr 1 stamina if I use magic, which is rare

[livid zenith]

I preferred 2 eitr and 1 health or stamina, although maybe 2 eitr and mistlands feast would be good

[keen cliff]

2 eitr, 1 stam here also

[nocturne wolf]

With a staff of protection, health does nothing, or at least isn’t as useful as stamina.

[keen cliff]

and 1 health food won't really make a difference imo, if your bubble is down

[livid zenith]

That’s true, I just choose whichever I feel like

[keen cliff]

well, assuming mage gear. maybe if you're heavy armor + magic

which would be weird imo

[shy marlin]

shouldn't be, hp food on mage does nothing

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t use health as a mage

[livid zenith]

I’ve had fun with root chest+carapace helmet+himmalf+mage gear in mistlands, although that’s better with one of each food

[vital umbra]

hybrid...🤢

[keen cliff]

when i'm playing mage all i want is more mana regen. but i can appreciate trying a hybrid build. i've thought about it

[shy marlin]

As a mage you're already a hybrid, nothing is stopping you from going melee with 2E 1S

[vital umbra]

the fact that i don't want to is stopping me 😎

[long locust]

as a mage I already tend to hybrid as melee when I'm waiting on my eitr regen

[vital umbra]

i just run

[long locust]

sometimes you just gotta put down the fireball staff and pick up the himminafl

[livid zenith]

More of an aggressive mage: run in, atgeir stagger, start spamming magic, hopefully don’t die because staff of protection and defensive armor

[vital umbra]

why the himminafl, that sounds sketch to use if you have mage armour.

[long locust]

former atgeir main before I unlocked eitr-weave armor

also stagger goes hard when it works, definitely gonna swap to berserkir axes though once I get flametal

[shy marlin]

I'd to introduce you to atgeir special attack

[nocturne wolf]

With a staff of protection active, the armor doesn’t matter with a melee weapon

[tacit crystal]

Secondary attack for knockbacking and staggering enemies I presume.

[vital umbra]

if you're out of mana there's like a 50% you either have no bubble, or don't have the ability to replenish it in a pinch, which is not exactly the go ahead to throw yourself into the fray with melee, and with a heavy weapon that slows you down when you're wearing light armour.

[nocturne wolf]

Atgeir are just -5% movespeed?

[shy marlin]

yes

[vital umbra]

i don't remember that, why tho.

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn’t they be? It’s just a small blade on a stick

[shy marlin]

Practice good eitr/stamina habits and that won't happen to you

[long locust]

nah half the time if I'm out of mana it's just because I threw out 4 fireballs back to back and my rested buff ran out a few seconds ago, sometimes it's better to fall back to your melee

[plush umbra]

i think they used to slow you down more before hearth & home

[vital umbra]

...yeah...if you're out of mana...you can't be perfect.

[shy marlin]

Correct

[shy marlin]

It's not that hard to just tell yourself to not go below like 50 eitr idk man

[vital umbra]

idk i never wanted to use them

[long locust]

and if you're managing to let your bubble break when you run out of mana, you've seriously fucked yourself up

[livid zenith]

having a high knockback weapon with good staggering is a good thing to keep enemies off you when wearing squishy gear and have low HP

[long locust]

for me as soon as the bubble breaks it's fight or flight, either stagger the hell out of whatever is about to tear me a new one or run until my bubble is back up

[vital umbra]

have you seen the ashlands my guy lol.

Just avoid the enemies yknow, all 30 of them.

[shy marlin]

Brother, i've literally killed fader with no buffs

I know exactly what the ashlands is all about

[vital umbra]

and so there are many occasions where i use every bit of mana to finish the job quickly when things are hairy, and then the last few enemies are a bit easier to dodge and avoid..

[long locust]

ngl I was incredibly surprised to see that the fireball staff was still effective in the ashlands

honestly, it's even more effective than before due to the fire spreading on the ground

[vital umbra]

is that a new thing

[livid zenith]

Staff of embers

[vital umbra]

what. no. fire spread from it.

🫠

[nocturne wolf]

In ashlands there’s fire, or any biome with the world modifier enabled

[livid zenith]

In Ashlands most sources of fire will burn wood and on the ground

[vital umbra]

🫨 fire spread specifically from the staff of embers..

[livid zenith]

Not new

I think

[vital umbra]

i hadn't notice it before and it kinda destroyed me a couple times recently

feather cape and only eitr food and all that..

[livid zenith]

Low health, 2x damage from fire, low armor, the ground is burning
I’d imagine that’s not exactly a stable state of existence

[vital umbra]

yeahh

[nocturne wolf]

Staff of protection 👍

[long locust]

I take it this hellish troll cave lookin thing is a putrid hole

[vital umbra]

it is occasionally annoying to constantly have to monitor that so i don't get killed by stubbing my toe.

[livid zenith]

My friend got really mad playing mage in the Fader fight, he kept getting hit by meteors, then dying through staff of protection to fire damage

Not 100% related, but it was funny

[nocturne wolf]

The meteors and the aoe they leave are separate hits, so one breaks the bubble and the other deals damage, just like any other situation where you’d get hit twice in a short time.

[livid zenith]

That was the most noticeable situation because meteors was all he got hit by, so the main way he was surviving in the rest of the Ashlands did basically nothing in that fight

[azure yacht]

Just died like +20 times before finally killing fader.

I cannot blame lag anymore now that I have a gaming laptop, I just suck lol

[shy marlin]

Just curious, what was gettin ya?

[vital umbra]

i died 3 times first time i fought him, never actually died that much to a boss except for bonemass

[shy marlin]

Early guess is meteors/fissure, seems like a lot of people struggle with that

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve nearly died a few times getting stuck under his head with fissure about to start below me
Panic jumping/rolling has always barely saved me though

[azure yacht]

The constant aoe spam.

But mostly due to fire dmg (because it stacks quickly) + the frequent barrage of other enemies joining.

Even needed to be careful with the archer summons. I will continue saying this: One or two archers raining down arrows on you might not be much, but a whole squad of them doing it will certainly make a difference in hp remaining.

That whole dmg accumulates and usually outdamages your healing

[vital umbra]

did you do a large amount of running

[shy marlin]

magic or melee?

[azure yacht]

This happened many times but I didn't die to it. They were still moments of panic tho

Melee mostly, and using Eikthyr as often as I could

[vital umbra]

..eikthyr huh..

[shy marlin]

Root harnesk, if you were going into this blind you would have no way of knowing but Fader does some piercing damage, also helps with the archers

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr + feather cape + lightfoot for 0% jump stamina cost is as broken as it sounds. Jumping won’t even interrupt stamina regen

[azure yacht]

I tried using the wild staff but iirc, they made it so meteors target the vines so trying to stun lock fader stopped being a valid strategy (unless maybe trying with other nature weapons)

[azure yacht]

I did go as blind as possible.

Either way, he barely used melee attacks and the moments he did I just dodged.

It was the aoe spells that did the trick

The spam is more annoying that yagluth's but I still liked fighting him while I still hate fighting yagluth

The fact that fader's theme fucking slaps is a key factor

[shy marlin]

ye they cooked on the whole ashlands ost

the way his theme builds up when he's crashing in on his meteor and then bam it pops off chefs kiss

[azure yacht]

It's just... So peak 🥹

[long locust]

eitr weave and fenris, combined at last, I got my first piece of embla

[sacred tusk]

I created a "greydwarf spawner + archer skeletons" grinder to level up blood magic. Because I want to be able to raise a skeletons with just one eitr food, instead of two.
.... holy hells the leveling is slow. the grinder has been running now, probably for 7+ hours, and the skill is now 38. 47+ should apparently be the target.

[long locust]

ngl that's the only mistlands staff I just completely ignored

[vital umbra]

they're great for distracting enemies..

[livid zenith]

Necromancy is fun, but not as effective as arson

[long locust]

I'm just gonna wait til I get a single bloodstone then start razing every structure in sight to the ground with trolls

[livid zenith]

Troll+necromancy+arson staff is very effective

[candid shale]

ashlands fish watch out

You're about to be turned into a hat

[long locust]

god damn, landing right next to a dvergr camp in the ashlands was a godsend

got 18 flametal ore by just walking over there and arsoning the crates, all the dvergr died by the time I finished building my shitty outpost lol

[vital umbra]

aww man...i always spare the blue guys

[livid zenith]

They don’t last long in the Ashlands with or without player attacking

[sacred tusk]

Hey - the wiki doesn't seem to say how long the staff of protection's armor lasts, but speaks about refreshing a duration. Any idea how long it is?

[long locust]

normally I just let em vibe, but my inexplicable compulsion to steal their extractors every time I saw a crate in the mistlands has led me to feel much less sympathy for em

[vital umbra]

sure they can, avoid kiting armies towards them lol..

[long locust]

scales off the staff's upgrade level, starts at 1m and you get an extra minute per upgrade

believe it caps at 4 minutes of the shield

[vital umbra]

take a cart to their wards

[nocturne wolf]

In ashlands they’re suicidal, and in mistlands they’re both required for normal progression and make amazing three-way fights if you bring a Gjall or seeker soldier

[long locust]

but that's cheating :(

[sacred tusk]

Does the timer show up as a status on the top of the screen?

[shy marlin]

yes

[sacred tusk]

Thanks!

[vital umbra]

its not cheating its cheesing...and i find it worth the moral goodness.

[long locust]

if I had the option I'd just pay the dvergr for the extractors

[night dock]

can somebody text me in dm, i got a question about the game

[sacred tusk]

Ah, I found it, I just missed the time as it was at the top of the chart >.<

[long locust]

sail around the mistlands coasts with a boat full of gold and just stop by every camp

[vital umbra]

yeah i always did the cart thing, the first time i actually looted them i hated it so much..

[nocturne wolf]

Fighting dvergr is just a part of progression like entering a burial chamber or fighting Eikthyr, but it gets skipped much more often

They should be more intelligent at noticing the player cheesing

[vital umbra]

pls no

🗿

[livid zenith]

I like to mark their outposts and keep luring any bugs I meet to them until they’re too dead to protect their items

[vital umbra]

i will literally cheat in the extractors at some point then.

[livid zenith]

Morally correct cheating

[nocturne wolf]

At least cheat it the right way
With killall

[vital umbra]

😒

[livid zenith]

Killall, steal the extractor, spawn new dvergrs

[long locust]

see, I don't mind oppressing the natives in the plains because they're violent and attack me first

in the mistlands though, the dvergr just wanna be left alone so I feel bad about it

[gleaming musk]

i will put the blame on odin

[livid zenith]

If you want, there’s a small chance to get sap when fishing up pufferfish, so that’s technically an alternative

[shy marlin]

is this true?

[livid zenith]

I read something about it on the wiki, don’t know the specifics

[nocturne wolf]

If it is true, it would be much slower than just using that pufferfish to kill the dvergr

[shy marlin]

it's also a way to get sap without killing any bosses 👀

(if true)

[light moat]

Hey Blob, how do you feel about the farming skill now that it’s been out for a bit? 🤔

[livid zenith]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fish?so=search it mentions bonus drops for various types of fish, I believe that it’s a chance whenever you catch the fish with a rod

[shy marlin]

sure enough you're right

TIL (I have never once engaged with fishing)

[livid zenith]

Unfortunately, no black metal for an eitr refinery limits what you can do with that sap

[shy marlin]

Not necessarily, you can craft lingering stamina meads with it

Ah reread that nvm i see what you're saying

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t done any real gameplay (just commands character testing) since the bog which released, I’m waiting for everything to work properly with controllers again.

[livid zenith]

Oh true, also bile bombs can be made. Definitely could be useful in some situations (if you’re willing to catch a couple hundred pufferfish)

[shy marlin]

do you know the % chance of getting them or nah

[livid zenith]

10% for 1-2 according to wiki

[shy marlin]

Might be big, currently workin on a run where I kill Fader first, lingering stam meads in an early ashlands scenario will be super helpful, big lore info drop ty

[worldly spade]

anyone got any spare honey

[long locust]

gotta love the crafting skill, just got a 2nd set of embla trousers

[livid zenith]

Never know when you’ll need them

But you can take a good guess (basically never)

[long locust]

finally got the best of both worlds for armors, the style of fenris with the magic of eitr

I will never shut up about my love for embla armor

now to get those damn axes

also I'm gonna have to unfortunately sail through the ashlands again, the island I landed on is really tiny and has no fortresses whatsoever

at the very least though it got me a nice easy start to getting my gear

[vital umbra]

i hate sailing in the ashlands lmao

wonderful biome, grateful for it, but devs did not cook with the sea of spikes and the least mobile ship in the universe.

[long locust]

real question, if I'm a mage is there really any reason I would need a bow?

I mean, it would be nice to have a dedicated long range option, but apart from when I need to be outright sniping enemies I never really see myself using non-stave weapons

I pretty much only kept arbalest around for dealing with the gjall

[shy marlin]

me personally i don't run a bow while on mage, but you certainly can, what you could do is unload your eitr bar, than unload your stam bar with the bow? i usually use crossbows as my stamina ranged option

[long locust]

I wasn't a huge fan of crossbows tbh, loading takes too long imo and gets interrupted too easily

would rather just charge & fire an ash fang

sure you get much higher dmg from a single shot of a crossbow, and assuming you get time to load all your shots and they all hit you'll get higher damage, but the longbow just felt more consistent for me

[vital umbra]

i swear to god greydwarves have like 6000% spawn rate compared to any other mobs in existence, i have placed down so many campfires around my base...

[long locust]

by far the nicest part of having my main base in a fuling camp is I don't hear the day/night music

just always my fuling camp beats to vibe and forge to

[vital umbra]

whats wrong with the plains soundtrack

based for having main base in the plains tho

[long locust]

no I like the plains music

I mean the little track that plays whenever morning or night starts

never have to hear that interrupt my plains vibing

[vital umbra]

ohh

[long locust]

yall are never gonna guess which part of the mistlands feast I've never cooked

it requires cooked seeker meat, yggdrasil porridge, and misthare supreme

[vital umbra]

cooked seeker meat

[long locust]

yup

[vital umbra]

well thats logical

[long locust]

I have never bothered to cook that shit ever because I just funnel it straight into 20 billion aspic

[vital umbra]

It seemed so random to figure out what i needed for the feasts so i literally just looked everything up

[long locust]

the amount of sap I eat is ridiculous

might as well just start sipping it straight from the roots

[vital umbra]

syrup

[long locust]

sweet jesus that's a big eitr bar, 195 with aspic + broth + mistlands feast

and I've got enough stamina and health to work with too

not to mention my lingering eitr mead and queen's power I'm just gonna mage all over them

[sacred tusk]

Roughly 1,5 hours later, skill is now 41.

[wooden tapir]

@long locust how is ashlands so far?

[long locust]

pretty good honestly, got my embla armor and some new foods and I found a new island with a fortress on it

now I just gotta figure out how to get the siege equipment

[wooden tapir]

find any caves yet?

[long locust]

you mean the morgen ones? yeah, never bothered to go in tbh

[wooden tapir]

there are some cores in there, but you can get them from the fortress too

[long locust]

yk that's a scarily big volture over there I don't think it's a volture

[wooden tapir]

LMAO

[dark edge]

the valhiem map is an Archipelago right?

[wooden tapir]

gotta go find out, investigate the giant vulture

[wooden tapir]

pretty much yea

[dark edge]

thought so

[wooden tapir]

it is part of a bigger map tho

[dark edge]

huh

[wooden tapir]

your map, is not the whole map

[dark edge]

yea it is

[wooden tapir]

no its not

[dark edge]

yea it is

[wooden tapir]

it is a piece

of a much larger map

ill send you the big map

[dark edge]

... you think im stupid? i know the fog of war is parts that you havent found yet lol

wait what

but it cuts off how isnt that it

[long locust]

well, I got a mysterious location from that putrid hole, and some cores

also apparently I can already make a battering ram lol, time to fuck that fortress up

[dark edge]

makes no sense, we have ashlands and deep north y would we only be a bit

[wooden tapir]

check dms

yea the biomes are generated randomly on your world

no world will have same biomes in same location

[dark edge]

i know that

ive been playing this game since the day it came out

[long locust]

WEHAT HTEFU CK

I have officially been ashlands-ed

was goin pretty alright, heading back from a morgen pit to my outpost, and then I get demolished by EVERY SINGLE ASHLANDS ENEMY AT ONCE

there were charred, there was a morgen, there were asksvins, there was a fuckin volture and a fallen valkyrie

[uncut owl]

mfw the leviathan sinks after 1 barnacle

[vocal rivet]

What they mean is that each seed uses a map that is cookie cut out of a larger master map.

[long locust]

I didn't even get time to process what was happening to me once the valkyrie got involved I just instantly ragdolled halfway across the island

this is gonna be a fun corpse run

[wooden tapir]

welcome to the ashlands

we all experienced it at some point

[long locust]

well, gonna start growing some ashvines on the sides of all my buildings

[wooden tapir]

they are pretty good looking imo, wont really make your buildings look worse

[long locust]

yeah was hoping for them to actually cover up some of the less detailed parts of my build

didn't really get around to getting the exterior of my forge to look nice

[wooden tapir]

they are a bit peculiar tho, too close to wall? dead, too far from wall? dead

[long locust]

think the magic distance is ~ 1m

[wooden tapir]

they can also grab the wrong thing

like lets say you have detail edge pieces, they will grab that

then die

[pallid yoke]

What do you guys think weapon is best?

[pallid yoke]

I'm sorry a what?!?!?!

[long locust]

boutta batter some rams in a second, any tips?

[long locust]

don't worry about it... yet

[pallid yoke]

[wooden tapir]

after you break the door RUN!

[long locust]

oh god

[pallid yoke]

Oh I'm a darksouls nutcase are they a challenge?

[long locust]

do I even wanna know why

[wooden tapir]

if you dont you will die

[pallid yoke]

I want a boss that is a challenge

[long locust]

tf is behind there that's gonna instantly kill me

[wooden tapir]

a mob

[pallid yoke]

What's going on? 😭

[long locust]

I'm preparing to piss myself in the ashlands

[wooden tapir]

of dead people

[long locust]

oh, that doesn't sound so bad

[dark edge]

sword

[pallid yoke]

Are the fallen Valkyries a challenge? What do they look like?

[dark edge]

nah, terrifying

[wooden tapir]

giant feathery sky creatures

[long locust]

the thing that carries you at the start of the game but messed up, and yeah they're pretty scary from my first run in

[pallid yoke]

That thing was munjn was it not?

[wooden tapir]

nope

[pallid yoke]

That thing is terrifying

[wooden tapir]

what boss are you currently at?

[pallid yoke]

Who me?

[wooden tapir]

yea

[pallid yoke]

I've got a new world mainly for building but I've defeated the elder solo

[dark edge]

goat

[wooden tapir]

they get much harder

[dark edge]

i died 16 times on elder

[pallid yoke]

Only to get the stone building pieces lol

[pallid yoke]

Oh I know I have an endgame character that's super high level

[dark edge]

...

[wooden tapir]

so why did you ask if bosses get harder?

[dark edge]

but you dont know what a fallen valk is

[pallid yoke]

Made a new one to enjoy the grind again. Back when this first released on Xbox I practically sped run the bosses

[dark edge]

ohh

[pallid yoke]

Haven't been to the ashlands yet. I got back into it just recently, back before the update

[dark edge]

mmmm

[wooden tapir]

fader is pretty challenging if you have never fought him before

[dark edge]

i havent

the people i play with dont fight bosses unless the next biome exists

[dark edge]

hey u, i recommend going to mountains and getting fenris set b4 fighting b mass

[pallid yoke]

So I've heard. I crave a good challenging fight in games, I'm currently going through and beating each dark souls 100%, my biggest fears sk far is going blow for blow with Artorias the abyss Walker on Ng+4 with no heals and going toe to toe with Horah Loux fist to fist on Ng+7

[dark edge]

in english please

[pallid yoke]

Those are two very hard to beat bosses. Horah Loux was the first Elden Lord who was a chieftain who can kill you with his fists, after each new game plus the games get more difficult and Dak souls 1 new game plus is very out of balance, after the first everything's health doubles, and same for Elden Ring but not so unbalanced

[long locust]

so, how would I go about getting rid of skuggs

nvm

gotta post a screenshot real quick of the most goated dvergr of all time

[pallid yoke]

So any more info on the winter child? I'm interested in that lore

[long locust]

this absolute lad of a 1* dvergr rogue just stumbled across my war with the fortress, walked in, and started shooting half the enemies in there with me, now he's just patrolling the inside of the fortress

[pallid yoke]

What i wanna see this😂😂

[long locust]

#screenshots

I'm naming him lad

[pallid yoke]

Bro pulled up with the blicky 😂 how did you take him?

[long locust]

idk he just walked up to me while I was busting that door down and he just decided "yeah fuck it"

unfortunately he did leave once I killed the archers in the center tower

[wooden tapir]

wow lmao

guys was like " i heard you were gonna raid these guys, they have been pestering me for ages, lets take them down!"

what gems did you get?

[long locust]

all of em

ton of iolite, couple of bloodstones & jade

relocating my outpost to the FORTRESS rn

don't even ask me how I said forest instead of fortress

[wooden tapir]

you are quite far from the forrest

thats a lucky fortress tho, the 2 i did barely had any gems

[long locust]

nah there's a lot of burnt trees here

yeah pretty sure it spawned the max amount of chests

[wooden tapir]

2 fortresses and i came out with like 3 jade, 2 bloodgems, and 1 iolite

all together

[long locust]

ok tbf the numbers themselves will be a bit fucky since I play on 2x resources

[wooden tapir]

ohhh ok ok

[long locust]

but I did get all three in one, and a lot of iolite

trollstav my beloved

[wooden tapir]

i played with one of my friends, and he summoned a troll in my base

quite unfortunate

[long locust]

we do a little trolling

[wooden tapir]

hmm i wonder if blood magic inceases their health, or if its only dmg like the skeletons

oh their health does increase a little

but with the item lvl, not blood magic

wait nvm

[long locust]

aint no way I just got a bonus craft on the bells lmao

so, 1 fortress in and I have 2 bells for fader

[wooden tapir]

thats durability

[long locust]

well, in one weapon craft I've made two of my mistlands weapons irrelevant

goodbye himminafl and jotun bane, only one of you will be missed

[wooden tapir]

ok blood magic skill does nothing for summoned trolls

[long locust]

yeah just affects the health and eitr cost iirc

honestly the berserkir axes are insanely good for chopping trees

think it's primarily because their animation is faster

[wooden tapir]

yea i got rid of my other axes

kinda nice tho, frees up my inventory a little

[plush shell]

yo whats the best farm to lvl up weapon skills?

[wooden tapir]

ashlands

you fight so much you will just level everything

[plush shell]

yeah but i mean a farm

[wooden tapir]

nothing will be as efficient as just exploring the ashlands

except for magic

[plush shell]

but i kinda wanted to lvl up the skill before explore ashland more xd

[wooden tapir]

i mean, idk. my axes are 53 and i didnt use anything before the berserker axes

[vital umbra]

just go on some like foraging trip in some biome, clear a fuling vilage or an infested mine idk.

[wooden tapir]

running around killing enemies is the best way

no spawners spawn fast enough to make an efficient farm

[plush shell]

they patched the rock thing right

[wooden tapir]

yea

[vital umbra]

i don't really get 'farms' in terms of anything remotely efficient for leveling skills in this game, i don't think such a thing exists unless you mean afking around a greydwarf spawner with the dead raiser

[wooden tapir]

no more shooting rock

[plush shell]

what about the pvp off player?

[wooden tapir]

you can still do that

[vital umbra]

why would anyone want to do the rock thing

[plush shell]

there is the shield skill farm

[vital umbra]

if you just went and fought things you would have more fun and you would get stuff from the things you fought

[wooden tapir]

shield is best during a skeleton raid since there are like 20 enemies

[plush shell]

nah i mean the shield skill farm

[wooden tapir]

yea shield skill

[plush shell]

you trap 50 skelletons with bows in a hole

[wooden tapir]

that sounds tedious

[plush shell]

🙃

[wooden tapir]

where am i gonna find 50 bow skeletons

[plush shell]

skeleton spawn

[spare crypt]

Why not just set your skill to whatever and take back 5 hours of your life?

[wooden tapir]

dont those things have a max 3 spawn in an area or something?

[plush shell]

yeah but you bring them away from the area

[plush shell]

oh ok ill also get my full flametal itens

ty for the tip

[wooden tapir]

i think for magic, using a farm is the most efficient, but with other weapons, its better to just run around and kill stuff

[spare crypt]

It's different though. If you're leveling it on normal content throughout the world, I get it. But trapping things in a corner or afk'ing by a spawner is cheesing the system. That's all.

[wooden tapir]

unless you wanna find one of those rock formations in the swamp with 2 draugr and an skeleton spawner

and sit ther for a long time

still not as efficeint as roaming the ashlands

[spare crypt]

To each their own though. I personally would rather be exploring than sitting in a hole with skeletons to level my skills.

[wooden tapir]

there are hundreds of enemies, just waiting

[vital umbra]

I mean my last playthrough i used the fly command to get my stuff every time i died 🤣

[wooden tapir]

there are some skills id like to hit 100 on, but for most of them 50 is good enough, im happy if most my skill hit 50

[rain flare]

Just reading through all these shenanigans and loving every moment of it 😂
How you enjoying Ashlands so far?

[languid vessel]

anyone got any idea how to make a trojan horse but with 8 legs in this game?

[vital umbra]

i actively train my skills....just not that much, i just dont like to lsoe skills.

[rain flare]

Only skill I bother training is magic - it’s just so much better when you’ve levelled up

[long locust]

uhh just got one shot by a 1 star warrior just now so yeah

[rain flare]

Ai ai ai

[long locust]

downing 4 bottles of mead is apparently bad for your decision making

[rain flare]

Well, SKAL!
We’ll come back and smack the enemy when we are sober 🤭

[vital umbra]

hi sildar

[rain flare]

Heeey! 👋🥳

[long locust]

something tells me the soft tissue in putrid holes comes from all the dvergr that morgen has eaten

[rain flare]

Yup.

[long locust]

if I have to sail for a third time to find a lavaiathan I'm gonna cry

[rain flare]

Why are you looking for a leviathan in the Ashlands?

[robust geyser]

I swear finding infested mines is getting more annoying than finding Yagluth

[long locust]

NOOOOOOOOO THEY KILLED LAD

#screenshots

[wooden tapir]

RIP LAD

[rain flare]

RIP the Ernest dverger!

[wooden tapir]

yikes, askvin, warrior, and Valkyrie

they heard of his fables and sent the army

[rain flare]

Considering he went against all that, I think he should be an honorary einherjar

[wooden tapir]

" this dvergr took on an entire fortress! hes no ordinary dvergr"

[long locust]

I even named the outpost after him

time to make a tomb

[rain flare]

It shall now be knows as Mad lad’s stand

A testament to how mighty a dverger he was

[long locust]

best part is all the charred bones I picked up over there, dude was fighting off that entire army pretty damn well until they sent in the askvin and valkyrie

[rain flare]

Epic! 🥰

[wooden tapir]

i wish my dvergrs were that skilled

[rain flare]

I’m already envisioning an amazing cinematic for this guy

[wooden tapir]

most of mine seem to just sprint into the lava and insta die

[long locust]

seeing him in battle was beautiful, I remember when he shattered a charred archer with one blow from the stock of his crossbow

[rain flare]

My imagination is just envisioning him going down after a ton of kills, only for the last enemies to get nuked by a furious mage who walks in and obliterates the shit out of everything before having a tender moment to wish their friend farewell

[long locust]

ngl if I had eaten two eitr foods before that corpse run I would've fuckin dropped a troll on their asses right then and there

alas I had to settle for exploding the valkyrie with a nearby rock

[leaden elbow]

Leviathans stay in one spot, right?

[merry pebble]

Yes

[leaden elbow]

Hell yeah

Do their barnacles respawn?

Bha barnicle down 🗣️

[merry pebble]

However once they sink they will not resurface, and no they don't respawn

[leaden elbow]

Odd, then it was a coincidence when i came near yesterday the same location the first one i found was i saw another

[merry pebble]

Well sometimes they will be in groups of 2-5 (5 Is the buggest group i personally found, maybe there can be even more together 😄)

[leaden elbow]

When i first mined the bastard i was so scared i thought the guy was gonna raise up like the Kraken from Hilda

Same island type shit

That would be cool tho, a bigger hostile mama leviathan

[wooden tapir]

i found a 4 in my world, thats my record so far

didnt mine any of them, no more use for chitin

[tranquil lark]

Did they optimize the game with the Bog Witch?

I don't remember it running or looking so crisp before

[merry pebble]

I believe there was quite a lot of optimizations in there 😄

[wide zenith]

Sad thing tho
Would be nice to have more weapons from chitin
Or some other stuff

[hollow spade]

Me and my friend has a system of starting a world and gaining lives from killing bosses (once we're out of lives, we restart a new world and characters). We did a near flawless run and finally made it to Ashlands. This place is insane

Went through the majority of our lives on the first island of it

[tacit crystal]

Seems like a proper welcome to Ashlands

[wide zenith]

What do you think, will we get Mistland NPC in future? the named one
We already have for Meadows, BL and Swamp

[tacit crystal]

According to this #general message I don't think there is planned any yet.

[wide zenith]

I'm sad now

Would be nice to have atleast light set for plains
duh

[nimble aurora]

the leviathan clumps seem to be more common around mistlands, i always see 3-5 in a small area

[wide zenith]

Why there is no trophy for Lord Reto 😭
Unfair

[tacit crystal]

The Dyrnwyn can be considered as a weapon and a trophy.

[wide zenith]

I want the trophy-trophy

Chain lightning that comes through everything and bounce also from everything kinda op

[round wigeon]

I don't get why devs don't hire Project Auga modder, it even has a webpage about it

[gray sand]

Mods 🤢

[gleaming spear]

Olá? Hi There :3

[near furnace]

why should we? 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Wait, a company can choose who they hire or not?? Who would have believed that?? 👀

[near furnace]

the only think I personally like about Auga, is the stats they choose to display in the character selection screen.
I do not like their overlays and color palette choices

[silver oracle]

I love valheim (i haven’t left my room in days) it’s so good (send help as i am perpetually stuck in the 10th realm)

[lunar sapphire]

What help do you require?

[silver oracle]

Currently nothing, I just found out if you combine copper and tin, you get bronze

[lunar sapphire]

❤️ 😄

Nobody mention anything to Dingle! Let dingle explore Valheim at their pace

[merry pebble]

Don't spoil all the ways we can die in there! 😁

[near furnace]

don't spoil the many ways of deaths, that valheim offers 👀

||a lot||

[gray sand]

"Killed by tree" remains my #1 cause of death...

[merry pebble]

It is certainly my favourite cause of death 😄

[fair kindle]

it has to become an achievement in 1.0 😛

[merry pebble]

Agreed 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

It could be dying to every type of tree?

[merry pebble]

Even just fun easy achievement "die to a tree" would be enough imo 😄 it doesent really have to be a challenge

[fair kindle]

what would be a funny name for the achievement? i feel like "Oops" fits nicely 😛

[fair kindle]

and this one could be "Well now you're doing it on purpose!" 😂

[merry pebble]

"Bonk" ?

[azure yacht]

Dying to a tree not only should be an achievement but it should be a hidden achievement

[merry pebble]

True that

[nocturne wolf]

Killing a stone golem with a battering ram could be a good achievement?

[azure yacht]

Yes: One Ram Viking

[plush umbra]

hi valheimers <:3c

[azure yacht]

Hidden as well

[plush umbra]

oppenheimers oh god!

[azure yacht]

I'm sure it would be redundant to ask that every boss has one

[nocturne wolf]

It should be for bringing their heads to the sacrificial stones, not just killing them

[azure yacht]

But wouldn't that mean that any player entering a server would automatically unlock the achievement despite not having even fought the boss?

[nocturne wolf]

They'd have to be there when it happens

[azure yacht]

Could work

[candid basalt]

“Tree Safety Inspector”

[fair kindle]

killing the boss is a bigger accomplishment than putting the trophy on the hook tbh

[mint bluff]

are there any plans for the game to get a steam workshop for mods?

[merry pebble]

Nothing we know of

[round wigeon]

You guys don't need to use all of the UI but Auga was so cool. I think the UI of the game should look better.

[azure sinew]

wil loxs tame in the black forset

[merry pebble]

Yep, they only need correct food

[nocturne wolf]

What's wrong/worse with the way it looks now?

[round wigeon]

It could be more high res, more detail in the wood, carved signs and the skills in Auga for example have a better display, you don't have to scroll down. I just like it more. Could have more feedback about it but that's the basic about the UI, it's not the worst UI I saw in a game but needs improving.

[nocturne wolf]

The low resolution wood matches the art style of the game, why should that be changed?

[gleaming musk]

Imo the crafting/building menus need some kind of sorting, even a search bar would be fine

[round wigeon]

Because it is low-res and the game has a lot of pixels in screen, it's more pixel art style. The actual UI doesn't match with that in fact.
Are you a dev?

[nocturne wolf]

The developers all have purple names

[round wigeon]

Well... I don't like too much that about Auga either. That minimalistic style would be good to have but an option with wood (pixelated) matching the wood of the game for example would be good.
In general... the UI needs improvement but I'm eager to hear more about optimization. In this game if you build you are destined to suffer

[round wigeon]

It's incredible how modders improve everything. I don't play without that mod

[merry pebble]

Mod fanboy section is that way ----> #mods-discussion 😉

[round wigeon]

No thanks, I was talking about the UI of the game. You don't need to be rude.
It's not about being fanboy or something. I just want a better game like everyone.

People often takes suggestions or opinions so personal I don't understand sometimes. Besides there's no need to be prejudiced. If I'm at the Discord its because I'm playing the same game as you.

[near furnace]

no thanks you 😦
There is a saying "Keep it simple"

we don't want a overly cluttered UI with information about everything possible on screen

minimalistic and spartan is the way we have choosen

[round wigeon]

Okay 😄
No need to be sad (?

[near furnace]

sad that you don't like our original style

[rocky widget]

the art style is a purposeful choice, not one im complaining about but you dont really play valheim for the graphics, you play it because the gameplay is fun

also, first thing i read when opening discord is people dieing to trees. certified valheim moment

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-219-13-the-bog-witch/

[round wigeon]

yeah, It was only my opinion it seems, I'm sorry. Everytime I say something to improve the game I just gain hate from the community, I will keep low profile
I love the game like everyone you know

[shy marlin]

don't apologize for expressing your opinion about a game my guy

[rocky widget]

i mean with any type of suggestion you will always get a bit of the semmelweiss reflex, so dont take naysayers too personal, but also keep in mind that some people really like it the way it is and wouldnt change it for anything

[gleaming musk]

?

[round wigeon]

No really, I learned my lesson and I will stop giving suggestions. Apologies
I left some old screens with friends #screenshots in the meantime (?

[silver oracle]

I like the UI. It isn’t distracting and cluttered.

Gameplay reaaaaallly reminds me of the souls games. Artstyle is beautiful

[rocky widget]

theres a few really nice touches, like how the inventory changes color with the time of day

[silver oracle]

WAIT WHAT

I NEVER NOTICED THAT????

[azure yacht]

They're patch notes, read them

[gleaming musk]

I did, they didn't add any sorting/filter options afaik? I've reach Mistlands and started playthrough this update

[rocky widget]

it gets real nice colors during dawn and dusk, check it out next time youre playing

[azure yacht]

• Console command added: ‘sortcraft’ to be able to sort crafting lists by name, type, weight, count or original

[gleaming musk]

Well that's a devcommand, I'm not an admin

[shy marlin]

A feature like that should absolutely not be locked behind devcommands

[azure yacht]

Still there tho

Also, that implies it will be a more accessible thing in the future

[shy marlin]

"still there tho"

[azure yacht]

Commands might imply they're foundations for future implementations

[odd helm]

Is it just a devcommand though? That feels like the kind of user commands that should be accessible via the normal chat

[azure yacht]

Let me test that

[shy marlin]

it's not but i think you still have to have console enabled, and a feature like that is not something you should have to go out of your way and find

[azure yacht]

Also, something tells me it's the type of command that works client-side

[vital umbra]

heyo

[azure yacht]

Oh it does

/sortcraft

[odd helm]

Nice~

So any client can use it

[nocturne wolf]

Why would Iron Gate make it server-side?

[odd helm]

Exactly, was worth testing without devcommands

[vital umbra]

hi blob rianu & scarlet 🤩

[warm sandal]

I fear after playing with unsorted everything for so long I would be searching for ages if I started to sort stuff... I am so used to finding things where they have always been 😄 he he he... the adaptability of the human mind 😄

[azure yacht]

I mean...

It's not like it would be the first time they do something questionable that should make more sense in another way...

recalls iron pit being unportable despite not having any benefits aside from visuals

[azure yacht]

@gleaming musk @merry socket

Bog Witch new feature:

Using /sortcraft in the in-game chat followed by name, type, weight, count or original sorts the crafting list under any of those parameters

[vagrant dock]

Building and progression of this game is unmatched.

[vital umbra]

whys there like a delay on everything i mine

its been this way for quite some time now...rocks, copper, tin, silver, iron...i mine out a chunk and it takes like 3 seconds for everything to actually drop.

and it doesnt happen all at once it like loads in one by one 🥶

[empty hollow]

Playing with other people?

[vital umbra]

not even a little bit lul

[empty hollow]

Hmmm then thats weird, I usually just have those issues when I play with others and they are hosting the chunk

[keen tide]

Is your pc stats good enough for Valheim?

[vital umbra]

well i think playing on max graphics and 70+ fps is a good sign

[keen tide]

And nothing else is delayed?

[vital umbra]

nope

[keen tide]

Then idk

[rocky widget]

that sounds weird. if youre on steam, i recommend verifying the integrity of your game files

[hidden gorge]

sounds like you answered your question already

as to why things load in slowly, not sure

[vital umbra]

mob drops spawn all at once, so does wood from trees, guck, fenris hair and all those various things

[vocal jackal]

Have you guys also noticed worse performance in the same areas after the latest patch?

[vital umbra]

obsidian is slow too, everything that is mine-able.

[vocal jackal]

I'm getting 20-30fps lower on average and I don't know why

[merry pebble]

I noticed better performance if anything 🤷‍♂️

[verbal mist]

lol Valheim can run on a patatoE 🤣

[keen tide]

It didn’t run very well on my laptop…

Which is why I bring it up

[merry pebble]

Yeah it is quite cpu hungry 😄

[gleaming musk]

I had some performance issues on infested mines, everywhere else is good

[verbal mist]

my rtx 3050 4gb run perfectly fine although since the latest update my performance has been spotty

[vital umbra]

i guess like half a dozen people i know play games on less than potatoes

i know my main computer which i thought was really good certainly fell immediately short when i got valheim and played on 30fps on medium settings

[verbal mist]

lol

[light moat]

Has resource rate being at x1.5 always doubled crop gain? Or is that a new thing? I feel like I remember players mentioning it didn’t affect farming.

[azure yacht]

Resource sliders affect everything that drops from a world source

[merry pebble]

It rounds up, so things which drop 1 or 2 drops at normal drop rate will drop double

[light moat]

Yeah, I remember getting like 2 surtling cores from burial chambers and stuff like that, but I thought planted crops still only gave 1 crop. I’m likely just misremembering though lol

[leaden elbow]

in the iron age tryna tame my first boar 🗣️

how the fuck im giving the lil guy carrots and mushrooms and ive been waiting like 15 minutes, saw yellow hearts and i come to him and still mad at my ass for imprisoning him

what do i do fellow vikings

[merry pebble]

You wait for another 15 minutes 🙂 it takes 30 to completly tame animals

[rotund parrot]

At best it takes 30 minutes

[leaden elbow]

does it reset

[rotund parrot]

If you keep getting close to it or leaving the proximity, it will take more

[light moat]

Gotta leave him alone while he’s taming, but also have to stay close enough.

[merry pebble]

i dont believe it does

but it will be stopped when they are mad

[light moat]

It does not reset afaik

[leaden elbow]

im booreeedd

okay so i can go back to check on his carrots then and again

[light moat]

If it’s close enough to your base, do some base maintenance while you wait 👍

[rotund parrot]

That's why you try to tame them while you are busy doing something at your base and you always tame at least 2 at the same time

[light moat]

Yeah, I’d just throw like 10 carrots in there and leave it alone

[leaden elbow]

i did everything before haha

[rotund parrot]

otherwise it's just pointless

[light moat]

Have you built a boar barn?

[leaden elbow]

a what now, i just built a stupid lil cage

barns come later, id assume thats just a building with just cosmetic function and not a ingame piece

[rotund parrot]

Are you taming 2 boars?

[leaden elbow]

just 1

ill go make the gjallarhorn or whatever the horn is called

[merry pebble]

Then you will need second one eventualy 😄

[rotund parrot]

They need a mate to breed that's why you want to tame at least 2 simultaneously

[leaden elbow]

so the furnaces are a 10 cart length away from the boar, if in the future my sister and i are doing smelting work while the other is taming would it interrupt

[leaden elbow]

damnit

okay

[merry pebble]

Just check if you will have the "fire" effect in the area you want to tame them

[leaden elbow]

great so i went to get another boar to tame, opened the fenced cage to let both aggro me and get them in, and they both escaped, one started damaging my furnace and the other gone

fuck taming, thats just supposed to be boar farming right? ill do it sometime later i suppose

[fallen zephyr]

Taming is almost literally a crap-shoot. If you find a two-star boar early then it makes a world of difference to early progression. If you manage to tame a two-star wolf, you can breed an army that will help you progress. But, realistically, just killing the wild animals will get you what you need.

[odd helm]

But can you put a price on petting a boar and having it say 'Poogie loves you'

[leaden elbow]

poogie is such an awesome name

[little stream]

Boars are a maybe; good species to get into taming for the first time
Tame Wolves - now that's a game changer, especially with a few many 2-star wolves following you

[fallen zephyr]

If you're gonna keep boars, you at least have to give them pun names like 'ZsaZsaGaboar', or 'BoarisJohnson', or 'TonyPork', or 'Carvin'Bacon'...

[plush umbra]

no, monster hunter references come first

[leaden elbow]

imma name my first future wolf charlie, after my dog

[fallen zephyr]

Part of me wants to tell you that's a sweet idea. But part of me knows Charlie gonna die!

[leaden elbow]

shut up theres no lava pools in this game and id hope the wolf ai isnt as stupid

[plush umbra]

-# well i got some news for you

[leaden elbow]

ashlands arent they

they got lava pools dont they

[plush umbra]

yes but i know you're probably not gonna take the wolf down there

[keen cliff]

there's an awesome mob to tame in the ashlands, and luckily they can walk on lava

[plush umbra]

they're in plenty danger even in the early biomes, depending on the enemies they're up against.
they for example have no way of defending themselves against drakes

[keen cliff]

i used a horde of 1star wolves to kill both Moder, and Yagluth 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

They know it. Their descendants are already planning vengeance for your blatant disregard of those trusting hounds.

[keen cliff]

haha

[leaden elbow]

drakes.... big furry creature? i aint going in that place ever those deathsquitoes give me PTSD from going 30m near the plains on a boat

[upbeat crypt]

I keep fishing up stones and flint in meadows. Can I get better stuff in harder biomes?

[leaden elbow]

its cool to see how different God of War and Valheim interpret norse creatures (i prefer god of war designs tbh)

[rocky widget]

you usually get some form of common material from the area you fish in when catching a fish

[leaden elbow]

yeah. in the ocean i saw some fish swimming, havent ever fished myself though. It always says its not taking the bait

[arctic garnet]

"Neutral" foods like jerky are neglected af.
Like Valheim development wise. It's an underused concept.

[keen cliff]

the new feasts are similar, balanced food

[upbeat crypt]

"not taking the bait" is the most irritating game mehcanic I'Ve seen in a while

[light drift]

What's yall opinion on sledges? They just seem so slow but it's big aoe damage

[keen cliff]

i love the big hammers. this playthrough i've built and used all of them.

[teal matrix]

I feel like that's a completely unfair comparison, one is done purposely in a more pixilated simplistic style while the other is from a Triple AAA studio. Lol

[leaden elbow]

design.

you can easily translate god of war designs to the artstyle of Valheim.

[nimble aurora]

i swear fallen valkyries dont see you unless you’re already fighting a morgen

[gleaming musk]

I don't know about GOW design is but I think greydwarfs are super cool in both design and lore

[leaden elbow]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo im already stuck on gna theres more valkyries here????

[nimble aurora]

gna?

[leaden elbow]

greydwarfs dont exist in GoW iirc

[bronze vessel]

How to drive boat

[leaden elbow]

god of war

[nimble aurora]

greydwarfs are valheim original

[bronze vessel]

and how do I become drink while doing so

[nimble aurora]

oh right

valkyries are very different in valheim

they’re not boss fights and are all the same, they dont have variants

[upbeat crypt]

Valkyrie prepared. Achtung!

[nimble aurora]

they see you fighting a morgen and 2 million twitchers and just think “oh bet its gank ‘o clock”

at least they damage other enemies

[plush umbra]

drakes from the mountains.
they're a nuisance at worst to players, but since they never land, wolves can't damage them. and since they don't have a frost resistance, they can be oneshot by them unless stared

[arctic garnet]

Ah, interesting. I haven't gotten to try the feasts yet

[nimble aurora]

nothing worse than a drake coming to bother your silver mining. i can literally never be bothered to take out my bow that i just let them keep shooting until they eventually fly away

[plush umbra]

same

[upbeat crypt]

caught copper ore... yay

[tacit crystal]

Heck a spear at them. Or Abyssal Harpoon.

[nimble aurora]

its laziness on my part

when you have the wolf or lox cape they do maybe 5 dmg per hit, its just a nuisance and im not bothered lmao

[keen cliff]

it's the disrespect though. you need to put those drakes in their place.

[nimble aurora]

i love jumping off of rocks and killing them with the sword

ultimate style on them

[plush umbra]

play peekaboo behind a tree til they come low enough to be meleed

[tacit crystal]

hits with weapon and it dies "Tag, you're it!"

[nimble aurora]

when my girlfriend and i got to mountains she developed actual racism for drakes, it was amazing

[plush umbra]

appropriate reaction

[rocky widget]

understandable, i wish your gf a nice day

[nimble aurora]

we dont fw drakes here

[plush umbra]

one of the first things i do when i get arbalest is take it to the mountains to mash drakes into oblivion at range

[wooden tapir]

these late game feasts are actually a buff for mage users, instead of runnign 2 eitr and a stam, just run the mistlands or ashlands feast with 2 eitr, feels so nice

lose like 30 stam, but gain 50 extra hp, and 30 more eitr

[keen cliff]

Ashlands feast is also one of the easiest to make. only fiddlehead + the powder being non-farmable

[random kayak]

I built bronze tools, made a base with a trench, and made a small boat. What's next on the Bronze age before I ascend to the iron age by killing The Elder?

[keen cliff]

bronze buckler?

[light moat]

Got a fermenter and mead kittle?

[nocturne wolf]

Have you made a cultivator?

[astral patio]

GLAD TO SEE THIS GAME BECOME FAMOUS AGAIN

[vocal rivet]

Your caps lock appears to be broken.

[merry pebble]

Wdym? Its as known of as ever.

[hollow hinge]

Is the scythe better than the atgier for harvesting barley?

[light moat]

Yes, much better

[austere belfry]

think i got lucky with the ashlands landfall, cuz it was rather peaceful and I've seen so many people describe utter chaos.
Only ran into a serpent thing and some vultures

came across a ruined tower, hopped off and placed my portal

[gleaming spear]

Hi there ❤️ Someone brazilian for help me =3

[keen tide]

Bonemaws.

God I hate bonemaws

[austere belfry]

i spoke too soon

my portal was destroyed and i boiled to death lol

having to build a new ship just to get to the old one is kinda funny

[warm sandal]

happened to me first try there tooo it took me a lot of time to reclaim my dead body

[austere belfry]

i mean whats the best approach, there was a shoreline which didnt seem to have any mobs. The charred only spawned once I ran further inland. Is that safe?

[tacit crystal]

First time I went there I built a portal in one of those big ruins that had vines. The mob density thought was pretty high so I built an earth wall to create a safe space.

That was during the PTB which had more mobs and one bug that caused enemies in zone get alerted by falling tree sounds so that's why the density was much higher than now.

[nocturne wolf]

Did you bring a shield generator?

[austere belfry]

ohhh shield generator... will that deter mobs or only block them until the hitcount is breached

[keen cliff]

no. it just prevents environmental damage from ash rain and such

[idle storm]

It'll block projectiles and spawns but enemies can walk through it, so you still need walls (a terrain wall ideally).
More importantly it stops the Ashlands fire rain from burning your structures.

[keen cliff]

you could also stick a workbench and portal under stone, or in a putrid hole cave entrance, then try to block that with some stone.

[neat solstice]

does anyone have a world i can join an build an explore on?

[tacit crystal]

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

[neat solstice]

thx

[plush umbra]

guys

i might have found the biggest fucking starting island known to mankind 😭

it has plains,meadows,blackforest,swamp and mountains 😭

[vocal rivet]

Hm, not a bad one.

[merry pebble]

That is quite nice 🙂

[plush umbra]

Noo i really wanted one with only meadows and dark forest :<

I wanted to show my bf abt travelling in sea a little further and thrill of the ocean monsters

[merry pebble]

You will still have to eventualy 😄

[plush umbra]

yeahh very further on tho

[vocal rivet]

That's still only half the biomes.

[plush umbra]

Yall wanna see the map i wanna send a ss

[merry pebble]

Sure

[plush umbra]

where do i send

[merry pebble]

#screenshots

[long locust]

honestly it's kinda crazy how quick I've progressed through ashlands, already got max embla and the best mage food and I've been here maybe a day?

just gotta raid a few more fortresses for some bell fragments before I fight fader

[merry pebble]

Seems like the plains and swamps are not that big 😄 you might have to sail anyway #screenshots message

[light moat]

Yeah, Ashlands is pretty short 🙂

[plush umbra]

the plain side is extending i didnt go far

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands feels short because the whole Ashlands is in one place, instead of scattered around like other biomes.

[plush umbra]

is there any other sea enemy besides serpent?

[merry pebble]

In ashlands sea there is

[tacit crystal]

In Ocean biome, no. Other sea creature, yes. In Ashlands.

[plush umbra]

scary 😭

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry too much, you can spot the Ashlands edge before you even enter there.

[plush umbra]

also i opened the map via using fly command bcz its really getting to me grinding till swamp biome till we get to swamp biome ima cheat a little

[vocal rivet]

You're grinding UNTIL you get to Swamp? Oh boy.

[merry pebble]

I mean... The copper grind feels long 😄

[vocal rivet]

I've never felt that. But I think I'm in the minority.

[light moat]

Actually agree with that, I don’t think the Bronze Age is grindy. But yeah, we’re the minority lol

[merry pebble]

I dont feel its that way anymore 🙂 but when i was starting i certainly did

[gray sand]

The real grind is Finewood 😦

[light moat]

Fair! @asat

[vocal rivet]

IMO, if you're finding a certain aspect of Valheim too grindy or too boring you're probably doing far more of it than you actually need.

Either that or you're sleeping on world modifiers.

[plush umbra]

Not like that i played like 4 to 5 times on new saves and i practiced till swamp

so i got bored at it and i js wanna skip it till swamp

[tacit crystal]

What modifiers?

[plush umbra]

so i like to cheat on it

[nocturne wolf]

You can use the command itemset swamp to instantly get appropriate equipment and skills

[plush umbra]

i am js prepping my bf on it and the starter island has no good place to set up on

[merry pebble]

I think (at least in my case when i was a new player) that it felt grindy because i simply didnt know the best way to do it, and i might have been getting a bit too much 😛 also the world modifiers were not a thing back then 😁

[vocal rivet]

NGL, on our post-Ashlands world my server speedran until Swamps and then spawned in a metric ton of iron and gave it the bird.

I also found turnips literally 10 feet into the first Swamp biome I entered.

But now we're playing ||Enshrouded|| and I'm really torn loyalty-wise.

[merry pebble]

Sure why not 🙂 I personally couldnt be bothered to get tons and tons of wood and since i wanted to just freely build a nice house i simply spawned like 1000

[light moat]

Do you enjoy Enshrouded? Is it in a good spot?

[vocal rivet]

Absolutely loving it. It's utterly brutal at times but yeah, it hits the sweet spot in so many areas.

[light moat]

I’ll have to check it out someday for sure

[vocal rivet]

It's a very different game with a much bigger team so very unfair to compare the two, but QOL it certainly gets right.

[shy marlin]

Enshrouded's release cadence is rather impressive

[vocal rivet]

Plant your crop in the wrong place? Press 'E' to repot. Build in the wrong place? Press undo to try again.

[austere belfry]

oh shit, does the fire rain destroy portals?

[odd helm]

I'm starting to think this is getting out of hand--

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, that’s why you need to bring a shield generator

[austere belfry]

RIP

[tacit crystal]

If it ignites it, then yes.

That fire turns all wood to coal.

[austere belfry]

can the grausten ruins with covered roofs prevent it?

[plush umbra]

Anyways guys yall think its fine me to cheat a little till swamp 😭 bcz i dont really wanna go to bronze grind again

[shy marlin]

it's a single player game

[vocal rivet]

Play exactly how you want to play. It's not a competitive game or a live service game.

[merry pebble]

You do what you want 🙂

[vocal rivet]

As long as you're enjoying it, you're playing it right.

[gleaming rock]

Does anyone know how to make a valheim sever

[tacit crystal]

Any cover that doesn't get ignited can protect the portal. Stone, Grausten etc.

[vocal rivet]

You'll probably find some people to help in #dedicated-server

[austere belfry]

do the dvergrs in the ashlands have bases or do they just run loose?

[rotund parrot]

both

[nocturne wolf]

They have some small houses but die very quickly

[austere belfry]

i made 2 ships and both times didnt bring bars to make the shield generator with cuz im dumb apparently lol

[rotund parrot]

It's fine make a portal and just run a good distance and make another portal then start exploring from that point

that way you will have a backup that will stay unrendered (safe)

[nocturne wolf]

Could it be possible to mine into one of the large rocks there as a shelter?

[candid basalt]

Lava blobs can blow those up

[nocturne wolf]

Only if you let them

[candid basalt]

True

[livid zenith]

All the enemies that aren’t the charred or birds can break the rock

[keen cliff]

morgen and askvins break normal rock and grausten ruins. lava blobs are the only thing in the game that break raised earth. (and normal rock stuff of course.)

[light moat]

When a troll raid destroys the 6 raspberry bushes next to your base 🥲

Oh, and another thing I’ve noticed regarding the Bronze Age- although it’s a small chance, getting an extra bronze out of crafting is a really nice feeling 👍

Kinda makes me hope we get another alloy type of metal for deep north 😏

[vocal rivet]

Frost steel.

[nocturne wolf]

One metal could be from dungeons, and another from enemies, like a combination of plains and swamp?

[light moat]

So no mining?

[nocturne wolf]

There could be mining, but these other sources have only been used once and mining has been done four times (including soft tissue)
An alloy doesn’t need to be two metals. As the final biome, deep north could do everything? We’ll just have to wait…

[red hull]

does anybody know if the farmgrid mod will be updated any time soon? or know a guy that knows a guy to do so ? 😛

[chilly wharf]

I switched to PlantEasily

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[red hull]

ops, sorry !

[odd helm]

Hooooo, alright

FCF spreadsheet has officially been updated for bog witch update

[storm birch]

Killed elder, forgot key, came back days later and can't find it. Does it despawn after a time?

[gray sand]

Slowpoke 😛 💛

[nocturne wolf]

If there’s no base item (such as a workbench) nearby, it will despawn.

[storm birch]

Ewwwww. Do I have to kill again or is there another way? Tried dev commands, can't get it to work.

[odd helm]

Real life took precedence unfortunately, but I did finally get around to it didn't I~

[gray sand]

Gave people a chance to actually know mine exists 😭

[odd helm]

That said I'm very much open to feedback on the diets that the sheet includes, that section's definitely gotten messier

[nocturne wolf]

What isn’t working with devcommands?

[odd helm]

Only way without devcommands to get another key is to kill the Elder again; you can try to spawn the key again if you wish, using commands

[storm birch]

Open chat, do /devcommands, says it's true. Tried most combinations of "spawn cryptkey" no luck

[nocturne wolf]

You need to use the developer console

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console

[odd helm]

and the correct syntax would be spawn CryptKey 1

[chilly wharf]

actually, I just tried it, and surprisingly, you can use /spawn cryptkey in the chat

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need a 1. Leave it empty to spawn a single item
