[vocal rivet]

That'll never work, you got the item ID wrong.

[chilly wharf]

ffs sake man, let me fix my spelling before you jump down my throat

[merry pebble]

Actually that sounds really cool 😄 (probably would be blue/ish(?) and i´d hope it would be quite vibrant and not too greyish 🙂 )

[storm birch]

Thanks friends!

[light moat]

Have you not heard that one before? An oldie but a goodie! 😁

[merry pebble]

Nothing comes to mind atm?

[light moat]

I had seen the term used at some point before the hack, really cool idea!

[merry pebble]

Heh, i would not remember that XD

[plush umbra]

just real life?~ :>

[odd helm]

important stuff for sure, wouldn't call all of it unfortunate~

[fervent hemlock]

what do chickens need to lay eggs? mine have food

[vocal rivet]

Warmth.

[fervent hemlock]

they need a fire?

how do i intercept them from hatching

is there a way to get them to lay eggs yet prevent them from hatching

[potent osprey]

If you were starting a fresh character, vanilla run, but you could bring one item from another world, what would it be and why?

[shy marlin]

It'd have to be some utility item, as higher level weapons/armor are meaningless because you have no means of repairing them in the early game and all magic stuff requires eitr food which you have no access to

[plush umbra]

pointy hat because i can't live without it

[shy marlin]

I'd go with the weight belt or if i was doing a "no boss" run it'd be tears of moder

[keen cliff]

they don't need a fire to lay eggs. only for eggs to hatch. they just need to by happy (not hungry) and not near too many other chickens/eggs to lay more eggs

[pliant hatch]

I think I'd brind a Yagluth trophy, so I can use his power to fight him.

[shy marlin]

why not just take barley mead

[plush umbra]

yagluth also deals lightning damage

he's ironically kinda the only fight where that power is even remotely useful

[pliant hatch]

Because Yag's power is giving you good resistances against all damage he's doing.

[shy marlin]

he does do lightning but it's the fire that really gets ya

[plush umbra]

depends on the attack. the nova is equal fire and lightning, the breath is 40 fire, 20 lightning, the meteors are all blunt and fire

[shy marlin]

Fire stacks though

And it ramps which is what normally causes death for people

[plush umbra]

ah right the nova leaves behind additional fire damage

[shy marlin]

so they don't recognize they're dead till it's too late, while lightning is all upfront

not denying that lightning resistance isn't useful, but fire resistance is > in this case

[plush umbra]

well the yagluth power covers both

[pliant hatch]

In general most items in this game are easy to come by. Even Eitr.
But having a boss power (early) in the game that works well with items you can create works even better.

[plush umbra]

Guys my friend mains bow but i want him to have a second primary js in case any tip for him?

[pliant hatch]

Given that a lot of monsters are having problems with blunt....
Mace and shield.

[plush umbra]

hm thx

[plush umbra]

(the danger there isn't on fire damage stacking though, it's on the fact that the attack leaves behind a repeatedly hitting hitbox that applies more and more fire hits.)

[shy marlin]

Feel like if you're gonna go with a boss trophy i feel like bonemass or fader would be more useful than yag, because they have more usecases but idk preference thing

[plush umbra]

(oh damn, 100 fire with each hit, yea that's a lot)

[plush umbra]

oh bonemass would most certainly be more useful, i feel like this is just to give the yagluth power some mercy

if you're open to using meads, it's such a useless power. the only fight where it does something unique is the one that you have to do to get it, and that's just funny to me

[shy marlin]

By stacking i mean reapplied damage on top of the previous damage applied so 5 + 5 + 5 + .... etc, mmo brainrot

Hopefully deep north does a lot of lightning damage, would give it a better usecase

[plush umbra]

I am gonna go for knife/fist for my mains and get bow if it becomes necessary at this point

[pliant hatch]

True, but you don't really need Bonemass power up to the point where you are able to get it.
The only time Bonemass power may be useful is when you're a new(er) player going toe to toe with a troll and having no experience with that.

[plush umbra]

it'll be funny if they end up attempting that but then physical damage still ends up being the bigger danger as it usually is

[shy marlin]

ye that's true

[pliant hatch]

And (unfortunately) the same goes for Eikthyr and the Elder's Power.
So that makes Moder, Yahluth and Fader's powers the most useful for a new game.

[plush umbra]

guys is it a good plan to go w fist/knifes for my longterm valheim game

[onyx pier]

I find it useful in mist lands when exploring

[shy marlin]

Fists not really cause the only fists weapon is claws which is mountain tier so it'll be rough in the later biomes, knives are a fine option

[onyx pier]

Nr

[plush umbra]

knives and shield

[copper tinsel]

spear and shield

[shy marlin]

Anything works in valheim just play whatever tbh

[plush umbra]

wbu sword

[shy marlin]

Swords are great

[plush umbra]

Spear is js boring

[copper tinsel]

whatever, all are good in the right situation

bow as main is boring

[onyx pier]

Agreed. Hate the move set

[plush umbra]

i wanna use knives or battleaxes,heavyswords

[onyx pier]

I prefer swords and med shield or buckler personally

[pliant hatch]

By then you have gotten the power yourself.

We were discussing which item you'd take from a previous world to a new world. And Bonemass power is "useless" in the first three biomes. And since you get it in the third, anything after it isn't relevant.

[plush umbra]

whats the diff with bucklers and normal shields

[copper tinsel]

parrying

[onyx pier]

Parry bonus

[plush umbra]

which one gives more parry

[copper tinsel]

lol

[onyx pier]

Buckler

[plush umbra]

so why ppl prefer normal ones?

[onyx pier]

Higher block

[pliant hatch]

And probably because you have to pick one at some point anyway.

[onyx pier]

Like if your straight up blocking you take less damage with the larger shields

Buckles have damage sneak past

[plush umbra]

ah

[onyx pier]

Med too, towers make you a tank but they reduce ability to move and weigh you down

[plush umbra]

towers feels boring

[onyx pier]

Yeah, most ppl dont use em

[plush umbra]

it would be fun if they had stagger

[onyx pier]

Cool on the wall tho😆

[onyx pier]

Or like a charge ability that has stun

[plush umbra]

hell yeah!

[onyx pier]

Imma drop that in suggestions rn

[plush umbra]

all i wish from valheim devs is more sea creatures and more weapons

[onyx pier]

Kelpi would be cool to see in rivers

[plush umbra]

i am js afraid of the sea lol and putting fuel to it seems cool

[vocal rivet]

More weapons? I mean, that's a given with a whole new biome to come.

[onyx pier]

How about random whirlpools?

[plush umbra]

more fist weapons

[vocal rivet]

Two not enough for you?

[plush umbra]

no i want power

[pliant hatch]

• Boxing gloves made from leather scraps in Meadows,
• Bronze Knuckles in Black Forest,
• Iron daggers in Swamp.
• We've already got weapons in the mountains.
• Short sword and dagger in the plains.

Something like that?

[shy marlin]

There's really only one tho

Oh right, pedantic nonsense.

[pliant hatch]

Well, we got fists and we got the fenris claws. So technically it makes 2. But to call the fists itself as a real weapon? I'm not sure about that.

[shy marlin]

ye exactly

[pliant hatch]

Ofcourse, I'm certain Muhammed Ali would disagree. And so would Mike Tyson. 😄

[shy marlin]

They'd still be outclassed by any person of with a polearm or sword or etc

[keen cliff]

it's a fantasy game, it's fine for all weapons to be equal in the general sense. the 1 fist weapon is odd however. maybe they have more plans before 1.0

[potent osprey]

The only thing I really would take from another world is 2 bars of iron. Stonecutter at the start would be life changing to me

[orchid orbit]

yo where do I find the .fwl and .db file for my world

[azure yacht]

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

[random kayak]

Yes

Yes

No

[long locust]

technically, the swamp knife is the abyssal razor

[onyx pier]

Maybe some sort of gloves with spikes in em. Make em look like the porcupine with tiny bits of green Crystal's sticking out

[sharp sonnet]

can you rename chests

[vital umbra]

hi

[finite pier]

friend wants to know if ps cross play can be modded

there is cross play when set right

[vocal rivet]

There's no PS version so no.

[finite pier]

ooh ok

[nimble aurora]

are charred fortresses rarer? i’ve explored an entire ashlands island and only found 1

[vocal rivet]

There are 20 in each world.

[nimble aurora]

other islands must be crowded as shit then

[vocal rivet]

🤷‍♂️

[lunar sapphire]

damn, could've been 21

then that'd fit my meme requirements

[nimble aurora]

real

ill throw it in suggestions lmaooo

[long locust]

just slapped a 1 star askvin into a pit lol, time to tame my new friend

gonna be pretty hard to get this little shit home though

[keen cliff]

The trick is to tame another one right there. Have them both breed, and take two eggs home.

[long locust]

oh yeah, led another moron into the pit lmao

so, gonna let that do its thing while I drink mead and kick back in my fortress

would be nice to bring the original pair home though...

[gray sand]

Eggs...
Asksvin Omelette when?

[long locust]

they jumped on top of eachother and got out of the pit

[nimble aurora]

just realised asksvin have 2 large eyes and not 4 small blue ones

[vital umbra]

hi scissor person, hi sev

[nimble aurora]

ayo 🤨

[gray sand]

One of these days you will run into Qui-Ron Jin.

[long locust]

I refuse to see asksvins and necks as anything but 4 eyes

[nimble aurora]

exactly

the first time i saw both of them i was like ‘oh cool 4 eyes’

[long locust]

that's also because they have 4 eyes, even the official art has that

[scarlet hill]

theres no "benefit" to raids right ? like exclusive monsters or loot

[vocal rivet]

No, although free resources at your door.

[long locust]

nothing exclusive, but they're a great source of some annoying to farm resources

[nimble aurora]

its great for trophy farming. especially the Geirhaffa raid, its the only form of renewable red jute and cultist trophies

as theres a limited number of frost caves in the game

[scarlet hill]

still in the bronze age after 50 hours just crafting

[nimble aurora]

although given how large the raid pool can get its not overly common

[nimble aurora]

thats the best way to play, dont rush just enjoy it 🫡

[scarlet hill]

started to build an outpost / pier but its build with log poles , cant post screenies here

[nimble aurora]

so youve been getting the greydwarf raid right?

[scarlet hill]

yeah and trolls, havent done the elder yet

[nimble aurora]

greydwarf raid is great for stone, wood, resin and eyes, you’ll need a lot of all 4 so

[scarlet hill]

concerned id have to always check on my building health

yeah i got..... alot of those 4 i travel out often and kill stuff on the way

when built on the water do i need walls surrounding the building ?

ill move to valheim help since i can post pics there haha

[nimble aurora]

build a moat, thats the best way to defend

[nimble aurora]

like built out over the water?

[scarlet hill]

held by log poles over the water, i posted a pic on the help channel

[cosmic verge]

Next update when?

[nimble aurora]

bog witch has been out for 2 weeks mate, really?

[cosmic verge]

Oh shit

I snoozed

[nimble aurora]

no you should be good actually, if you want to spawn proof you can put workbenches or campfires around it

that way there’s no spawns around

[nimble aurora]

deep north probably wont be til late next yr

[scarlet hill]

oh workbench and campfire will deter mobs ?

[long locust]

holy fuck taming is so annoying

[nimble aurora]

yes within a range of about 10m i believe

or whatever the workbench radius is because an upgraded workbench has a larger radius

[scarlet hill]

ill switch off raids for now since i dont need monster mats

[nimble aurora]

i dont bother anymore, id rather just go out and kill mobs

what are you tryna tame?

[nimble aurora]

i always play with them off, i spend a lot of time building and dont want things ruined by a troll raid

[long locust]

asksvins

I fucking hate this game holy shit

they keep crawling on top of each other to get out of the pit, and while I'm trying to wrangle them back in a fucking ashlands raid triggers on my fort

[nimble aurora]

yeah asksvin taming is not worth it unless you want 2 stars for riding

tame them one at a time, and in separate enclosures too

makes it so much easier, and make sure youve got the new taming mead too

[vital umbra]

make sure not to fail too, thats bad for the process.

[nimble aurora]

the root harnesk is so good in ashlands dude

[scarlet hill]

oh i read that water decays wood structures , so i cant build over water til later right ?

[wooden tapir]

yikes, you got this tho! also yea unless you have a 2 star in there its hard to say its worth the struggle

[nimble aurora]

well you still can, it only decays wood structures down to 50% health, water and rain wont do any further damage

[long locust]

I only started this because I want a pet damn it, I tamed some lox for the same reason

[wooden tapir]

the normal askvins are not that strong once you tame them

[nimble aurora]

but they will be weaker and be destroyed more easily if attacked

[wooden tapir]

thats fair, pets do make the experience better

[long locust]

I'm still gonna go hunting for pretty much all my hides & meat, but I do want some asksvins for both companionship and a few farm ideas (greydwarf for one)

[rain flare]

Try taking them in separate pits - is literally the only way I could get it right

[long locust]

how do I get them to breed if they're in separate pits?

[wooden tapir]

you can connect the pits with a deeper hole

[rain flare]

For initial taming put em in separate pits
After that I put them in a house

[wooden tapir]

also once they are tamed they will be much easier to work with

they are very sturdy tho, you cant really push them around like you can with the other tameable creatures

trying to push them off an egg they are sitting on is near impossible

[nimble aurora]

yeah u gotta be incredibly patient

[rain flare]

But since they lay eggs being big lizards, you don’t need a big space for them once tamed
Just take the eggs they lay and they’ll keep popping more like chickens

[long locust]

yeah, I was originally gonna sail em home but now I'm just gonna grab a handful of eggs and bring them home to my lox

honestly considering ripping up my lox pen and just walling off a whole section of the island for my animals

[wooden tapir]

yea i still have my original 2 in a pit, just took the eggs

[wooden tapir]

yea some people do that, free range animals

seen a lot of people do that with lox

[long locust]

I could technically just let them roam the entire island, but it's kinda big and I want them to stay in a certain area around my houses

[wooden tapir]

only problem with that is they add to the entity count and can cause lag

assuming you are feeding them and they keep breeding

[long locust]

nah, haven't really been breeding them

[wooden tapir]

i had that problem with wolves once, they kept breeding since i lived in meadows and they would occasionally kill deer and boar

there were like 50 wolves roaming my island

[long locust]

have yet to tame a wolf, would like to though

[wooden tapir]

yea i did just to have them, i have like 400 wolf meat sitting in a chest

[long locust]

would let it just sit in my house if I did tbh, need a dog

[rain flare]

Still haven’t been able to find a 2 star asksvin - I want one, then I’m naming it bubbles 🫧

[long locust]

anyways got the stupid idiots in the pit, just waiting for them to calm tf down

[wooden tapir]

took me 30 nights so gl with that! i hope you have better luck than i did

[long locust]

I had some taming mead left in some chests from when I went and crafted (almost) all the new meads, so I'm just chugging that

[rain flare]

I’ve been looking on and off since Ashland’s dropped soooo 🤣😂😭

[wooden tapir]

yea 30 is my estimate

[rain flare]

I am so happy they added that!

[long locust]

I think the 1* finally stopped being a bitch

[wooden tapir]

it was several days of looking, spread out

[long locust]

you know what I'm gonna go turn off raids rq just so my asksvin taming goes uninterrupted

[wooden tapir]

i honestly wasnt expecting to find a 2 star for a while, had kinda lost hope, then i went out to run my route, and 5 sec in a 2 star came out the fog and nearly pounced me

i panic jumped around like 5 times, popped my bonemass

and took him to the pit

[long locust]

1 star is more than enough for me honestly

[wooden tapir]

1 star is decent yea, honestly i just wanted the purple one

purple lizard dog

[rain flare]

😳 🤾🤾🤾🤾🤾 🏃💨

[wooden tapir]

yea pretty much LMAO

[nimble aurora]

i need a boat deconstruction option for the build hammer bruh

[rain flare]

Hit it with an axe 🪓

But deconstruct would be nice 👌

[nimble aurora]

i use my sword coz the skill is higher

but a deconstruct is absolutely necessary

[long locust]

I've discovered that throwing fireballs at it is a very effective option

[nimble aurora]

im not a magic player tho, so thats not rlly an option haha

[rain flare]

The wizarding option 🤭

Troll stave on drakker 😂

If they haven’t properly patched that bug, I’m totally throwing a troll down when I get into a fight with the seeker queen next time I wanna mess with her 😂
“TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!” 😂😂😂

Then if you feel real spicy you drop more than one 🤭

[wooden tapir]

TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!

[long locust]

yeah, may or may not have had like every ashlands enemy trying to fight me at once again recently

dropping a troll or two was a very effective strat

[wooden tapir]

classic ashlands experience

[long locust]

trollstav is great

[wooden tapir]

its never just 1 or 2 enemies

it may start as 1 or 2, but then your epic battle alerts anything within a 900 meter radius

[nimble aurora]

especially valkyries

they dont attack you until you’re fighting a morgen

they just see you like “oh sweet, gank o clock”

[rain flare]

Meet my angry friend(s) 🤭

[long locust]

I usually find it to be the opposite, valk comes out of nowhere then everything else decides to kill me

also gotta go bring my two morons some fiddleheads so they give me eggs

do I have to be near them for them to breed or can I go cook some mead at home

[gray sand]

You have to watch them the whole time.

[lunar sapphire]

generally calling pets/farm stock "morons" isn't a good idea, especially Asksvins 👀

with their long reach bite

[nimble aurora]

200 foot lunge be like

[long locust]

tbf I called my loxes stupid idiots and named their pen stupid idiot jail

[nimble aurora]

i have a 4060 and am getting 40 frames in ashlandsssss what the fuckkkkk

[wooden tapir]

lots of burning stuff, and constant tiny ash particles

ik when ashlands first came out there was some big optimization issues, theres just so much stuff happening in ashlands constantly

[nimble aurora]

true

4 fortresses in, no iolite 🥲

[long locust]

once the egg says it's warm I'm good right

[nimble aurora]

yes youll be good

[long locust]

cool, time to sit on this log for 30 minutes

never thought the bonfire outside my little ranch would have a serious purpose besides being pretty

and apparently my lox just gave birth lmao

guess that's what I get for leaving a few cloudberries out for a breeding pair

[wooden tapir]

you can go do other things, you dont have to be near for eggs to hatch

only for breeding

they will hatch, grow, and eat all on their own

[long locust]

nice

still gonna do some irl stuff though while the egg cooks, might as well afk by the asksvins though

they won't catch on fire if the egg is right on top of the fire right

[gray sand]

Cook eggs irl while the egg cooks. 😉

[wooden tapir]

they will when they hatch, idk how hatchlings deal with fire but the adults are pretty tanky

they wouldnt die

[gray sand]

"My chickens caught fire and died because I didn't use a hanging brazier" is the #1 cause of all your chickens dying.

[long locust]

thankfully I haven't dealt with chickens yet

[rain flare]

I just walled off my fire so the damned uncooked drumsticks don’t cook themselves

[long locust]

does picking up the egg and putting it down again reset the incubation timer

[rain flare]

Don’t think so

[wooden tapir]

yes

[long locust]

if so I'm just gonna do this tomorrow lmao, it's almost 1 AM

[wooden tapir]

it does

[rain flare]

GO TO SLEEP! 😂

[gray sand]

No.

[long locust]

but mah lizardogs

[gray sand]

1 a.m. is "time for food" time. ||I am very nocturnal.||

[long locust]

I'll probably redo all the flooring in my house tomorrow while waiting on those eggs, replacing the wood with ashwood and stone with grausten

[wooden tapir]

ashwood looks so nice

[hearty flume]

Good morning!

[vital umbra]

i love the ratatouille potions

[rain flare]

🦉

[vital umbra]

hi sildar

[hearty flume]

I looked at some streams, have we gotten new cook pots?

[rain flare]

Eyo! 👋🥳

[vital umbra]

u like the ratatouille potions too

[rain flare]

Yup 👍
Food prep station for all things bready, and mead kettle for…… mead 😂

[rain flare]

Yes! 🤩🥳🐿

[vital umbra]

i love calling them that

[gray sand]

Legit I sleep from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 😂

[vital umbra]

i cant handle that anymore...i'm so damn old

[gray sand]

Plz do not assume how old/young I am 🙃

[hearty flume]

Haven't played since I found a moder spot covered in mistlands and was like noooope xD

[vital umbra]

7

[random kayak]

Many call me prehistoric

And I'm not even old

[gray sand]

Given your name...
If we know how old you are, what's the thing we cannot know? 😛

[random kayak]

Guess

[gray sand]

||Because if we know speed we cannot know location.||

[random kayak]

You get one guess on my age

It's not hard

[gray sand]

So... joke completely missed 👍

[vital umbra]

i don't get anything either

im 19 ✨

[random kayak]

If it's a Quantum Mechanics and Physics joke

[gray sand]

Quantum physics... particle certainty...
If you know one thing you cannot know the other...

[random kayak]

Then it probably went over my head

[gray sand]

Pain.

[random kayak]

Yeah I knew it LMAO

I knew it was familiar but I'm too busy to notice

Anyway gonna go do something because I just wanted to drop by

[vital umbra]

ur not allowed to leave now

[nimble aurora]

same king 🫡

[random kayak]

20

And I can feel my bones ache

[nimble aurora]

real

i feel 60 when i get home from work man

[worldly spade]

cuz u are /jk

[vital umbra]

my joints are inflammed and i take multiple naps in a day 🤣

[worldly spade]

thats not good

[vital umbra]

my muscles and nerves are all weirdly random sore and twitchy and i have digestion problems and i am irritable without coffee and naps 🧓

[nimble aurora]

man i wouldnt be surprised if im actually 60 and just look young

plus here in australia the heat doesnt help when im at work for 11 hrs a day

[vital umbra]

i dont work that often....i just work really fucking hard every now and then and push my out of shape body into infinity and beyond and then sleep for a week 😆

[nimble aurora]

fr

[random kayak]

I work out and that removes the aches away

[vital umbra]

yeah well im fat too

ive got a draugr physique

[nimble aurora]

fader down, time to retire valheim for like…3 days

[nimble aurora]

same yeah, although it doesnt help as much

ive got a few genetic conditions that get in the way so

[vital umbra]

my last playthrough i started purely bc of the ashlands was like 600 days and fader was so much of an experience, spending 100 days building an ashlands base and so much time in that gloomy hell, it was such a victorious and relieving experience to arrive back in the meadows 🤩

i had to take months off at that point tho

[nimble aurora]

i have an intense addiction to this game, like i finish a playthrough and i think “ok time to play some other games now” and then a week later im back

my playthroughs are generally around 150-200 days tho, nowhere near 600

the longest ive ever had was only around 250

[tame elbow]

Is the troll strength potion worth making

[nimble aurora]

you cant make it, you can only buy it from the bog witch

what biome are you currently progressing through?

[nocturne wolf]

You buy an ingredient from the big witch which is used to craft it together with other ingredients

[nimble aurora]

because its kinda not worth it unless you want lvl 4 troll armor

[tame elbow]

i found the bog witch and they give you the ingredient to make the potion

[nimble aurora]

ohhhhhhh my bad i read that wrong, i thought he meant the love potion

[vital umbra]

my first playthrough i got to 400 days in the valheim, 60% of the time spent building until i got burnt out before finding moder

[nimble aurora]

yeah troll strength is amazing, especially in mistlands

[nimble aurora]

yeah i do love my building, ive got 2 separate hammer mode worlds lmao

[tame elbow]

no worries and great i play full magic so i try not to waste inventory on potions unless they are good

[nimble aurora]

i dont think it’s something you need on you all the time but it’s certainly very useful

[idle storm]

Trolls strength is amazing anywhere. Saves you so much back and forth running when transporting ore and it's pretty easy to farm the mats for.

[nimble aurora]

yeah trollfish are insanely common so its not hard

[idle storm]

Also ratatoskr too since going faster lets you pull heavier carts

[nimble aurora]

its great for mistlands coz if you have the potion you essentially have the strength belt and wisp light simultaneously

[tame elbow]

honestly might carry at all time the ethir food does not give much stamina

[nocturne wolf]

That’s why I use two eitr food and one stamina when I use magic

[nimble aurora]

genuinely the best potion in the game, i’m so happy we got it

[tame elbow]

yeah i used to carry stamina food as well but i like being able to summon two trolls at once

[nocturne wolf]

What about lightfoot?

[vital umbra]

it sounds good but not like extraordinarily..

[idle storm]

I use it for boss fights because the extra mobility is useful there but for general use it's not really worth the effort to craft them constantly imo.

More importantly without a feather cape they're mostly a good way to commit suicide 😂

[nimble aurora]

id rather run faster than jump higher ngl

is good dont get me wrong but like, i think ratatoskr is better

[vital umbra]

yesh

[tacit crystal]

Ratatosk movement speed is just so good. The tonic stays rent free in my inventory.

[fervent hemlock]

is there a way to move an already placed chest/ building piece or do i need to just break it

[merry pebble]

Break it

[nocturne wolf]

You need to break it

[silver oracle]

will there ever be plans for a keep inventory system?

[nocturne wolf]

There is a world modifier you can use to keep equipped items

[silver oracle]

hm

[merry pebble]

I believe Its the "death penalty" slider

[silver oracle]

I’ve been using that setting for a while

[leaden elbow]

Question: i wanna make a swamp tree house outpost but im worried the stairs up the tree will get destroyed because of the constant rain. Will they?

[past hill]

do u remember me

i beat Valheim 2 weeks ago, i asked you for alot of tips

[merry pebble]

Nope, rain does only up to 50% dmg 🙂

[leaden elbow]

He answers to a lot of peoples tips often

[leaden elbow]

Holy shit really and i was frantically repairing my home after rain

[gray sand]

Can also just use non-wood for the stairs and have zero rain damage 🤷‍♂️

[plush halo]

is steam and xbox gamepass versions different right now?

[random kayak]

Is the buckler worth to craft?

[leaden elbow]

Early iron age, i only have 1 bar left after other upgrades

[nocturne wolf]

If you want a black forest shield that isn’t a tower shield, yes. It can block and parry better than the wood shield.

[leaden elbow]

We gotta cross a swamp river and make a base there to cintinue exploring, the southern part of the river ended in a a black forest and only 1 crypt

[random kayak]

Wait... It can BLOCK better?

I thought that it was smaller so - block

[leaden elbow]

Yeah its a better material.

[nocturne wolf]

At level 1 is has 2 less block armor than a level 3 wood shield, but once upgraded it’s better

It always parries better though

[leaden elbow]

Bucklers are the Dauntless of Valheim, while most shields are the Guardian and towers are just the stone wall shield. Thats my god of war conversion philosophy, i was addicted to ragnarok before valheim so i need me some of that god of war mentality in here, which converts pretty well.

[gray sand]

Can you time your parries? Yes.

Do you suck at parrying? No.

[random kayak]

Yes and yes

[gray sand]

?

[random kayak]

I can time my parries

I suck at parrying

[gray sand]

Both of those cannot be true.

[random kayak]

Schrodinger's parry

They need to add bananas to Valheim so I can get anti matter from the potassium

[steel mica]

i rarely use shields only time i only use shields are plains and mistland

[random kayak]

I use them for the drip

The masculine urge to say "FOR VALHALLA" and then running straight to a group of greydwarves

[steel mica]

i just one hand both the iron mace and frostner and just dodge

[random kayak]

In IRL the real meta were maces

[gray sand]

Uh...

[random kayak]

Especially in medieval times with plate armor

[random kayak]

I mean you can bash a dude with a plate + chainmail with a sword if you want

But most of the time a long bow can pretty much game end anyone

[steel mica]

im curious

[random kayak]

And then the crossbow showed up and made it easier to use than a bow so training was less

[steel mica]

who uses arbalest

[gray sand]

They redesigned the broadsword as a piercing weapon vs. armor.
Crossbow tension strength also wrecked it (which is part of why it started to get abandoned).

[random kayak]

So you'd have peasants with crossbows

[steel mica]

i still think bows are superior

[gray sand]

Warhammers also had the hammer side and just a mean AF spike side.

[gray sand]

In Valheim in terms of pure DPS, yes. Bows win.

[random kayak]

Crossbows aren't even as strong as longbows but the fact that it's easier to use made it so that peasants can just aim and shoot

Now picture a wall of them

[steel mica]

im more of a arbalest enjoyer

[gray sand]

Bolts had more mass for more oompf compared to arrows.

[random kayak]

No- no genuinely it actually cannot compete with a Long bow

The amount of force that a long bow uses is so strong that it quite literally goes through better

[gray sand]

*Which matters only if the arrow can handle that force.

[random kayak]

More mass sure but cross bows were shorter so the force was less even despite the mass

But one thing for sure was that the crossbow was MEAN even despite that

Longbows were stronger but harder to use

Crossbows were weaker but easier to use

Despite that they can pierce through a Knight's plate regardless

So it didn't matter if crossbows were weaker

It was more economical and easier to distribute

[steel mica]

crossbow has better accuracy

[random kayak]

Also fun fact samurai were mostly archers on horse back. And honestly that's even MORE terrifying

[random kayak]

Better accuracy because it's easier to shoot. Longbows need alot of tension and strength to drawback so it tends to be slightly shaky

[steel mica]

if you think about it the mass of the bolts prevents it from getting blown away by winds unlike the arrows for bows

[random kayak]

It doesn't matter though because crossbows pretty much were the better option for infantry

[gray sand]

IRL bow vs. crossbow accuracy is just a matter of weapon familiarity that comes with use.

It takes less time to become accurate on a crossbow.
But given training both are equal 🤷‍♂️

[random kayak]

But bows were really fast because of just having to draw back but goodluck with your arms

But even crossbows weakness of being weaker gets outweighed by the fact that they're are MORE of them

[gray sand]

I do like the Arbalest in Val though.

Think it could use some BOW NERFS to not be so clearly outclassed.
But it is a fun weapon.

[random kayak]

I haven't even reached that weapk LMAO stuck in plains last playthrough

[steel mica]

maybe next time ill craft 2 arbalest :)

so i can go pew pew

[random kayak]

What's your Vikings name?

[gray sand]

Sevrahn.

[leaden elbow]

Holger. Forgot where i got the name from.

[vast jolt]

u guys also make long bows irl?

[gray sand]

Ain't nobody got funds for dat. 🎶

[vast jolt]

u won't need much funds when we got craftsmanship

[rain flare]

Bow is faster shooting and has great range
Crossbows that are an equivalent size to a similar bow (same range) are VERY slow to reload, but may have higher piercing potential.

But by that point, a skilled bowmen will have fired off many arrows compared to your single shot

[gray sand]

Look at this mage talking about bows and shit 😛

[rain flare]

Basically crossbows are great for highly armoured targets while bows will always win out in simple quantity of arrows fired

[rain flare]

I know my weapons 😁

[vast jolt]

long bows beat crossbows in ranges tho

[gray sand]

Pffft. You know your magics. 😛 /s

[rain flare]

Pick your weapon for your enemy - knight in armor = crossbow
Lots of Smurfs = gimme a bow 😂

[gray sand]

Knight in armor? -> Fireball cooks them.
Lots of Smurfs? -> Fireball cooks them too.

[rain flare]

This translated to lots of Smiffe dm for a second 🤣🤭

[rain flare]

Why do you think I main a mage over lesser weaponry? 🤣🤭🥰

[vast jolt]

firing lots of arrows required a very capable bowman

[gray sand]

Because you haven't seen what "dat axe" can do? 😛

[rain flare]

Which is why guns replaced bows over time - not much training required to fire off a barrage of bullets compared to the lengthy time required to train competent archers

[rain flare]

Still magic 😉
Enchanting classes are fun 🥰🤭

[vast jolt]

sad truth, well atleast if you'd train bows you'd have them muscles, especially a 100lb pull bows thats not hard to make

and they won't need suppressors

[gray sand]

*Silencers

[rain flare]

It’s interesting how Britain had such great archers due to the culture at the time
Sunday after church = archery practice 🏹

Net result?
VERY good archers

[gray sand]

See... this would make me go to church 😄

[vast jolt]

i heard medieval armors in britain is uncommon to come by this days, anyone actually owned one that knows what their prices rn?

[vast jolt]

don't they also have medieval events where they wear armor and contest of throwing spears?

[fair kindle]

i've tried to do it a few times 👀
(didn't succeed because the wood was filled with knots both times xD)

[random kayak]

I just got 2 bronze bucklers

What the heck am I supposed to do-

Crafting +1 is sick

[merry pebble]

You have a spare one in case of a corpse run 😄

[random kayak]

What am I supposed to do with a buckler-

[merry pebble]

Parry

[odd helm]

Parry stuff, usually

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying won’t help much in a corpse run

[merry pebble]

Why not ?

[odd helm]

At bronze level with high enough HP it should actually

[random kayak]

I realized how slow the karve is

But it's better than nothing I suppose

[nocturne wolf]

It’s a lot faster than a raft

[random kayak]

Defo and I spotted a leviathan so I'm sailing towards it

[near furnace]

Karve fullspeed is 2/3 speed of the longship 🙂

[random kayak]

I know but it's still 2/3 slower so it's take forever to reach the other side of island

Gonna watch yt while I sail

[near furnace]

yeah. listing to sea shanties and what not

[random kayak]

Question how many leviathan roars does it take to go under

[nocturne wolf]

Every hit has a chance to start sinking (10%?). Roars mean nothing.

[near furnace]

And I almost drowned

I HAVE 45 I NEED 5 MORE THIS IS BA

BS*

[silver oracle]

I HAVE CREATED A RAFT

I HAVE BUILT A RAFT

[lofty scaffold]

Go to the ashlands

[random kayak]

I miss my longvoat

[silver oracle]

i got like 2 parts of the troll armor hell no

what is an ashland anyway

[lofty scaffold]

The easiest area in the game

[merry pebble]

War...

[lofty scaffold]

Just keep going south

[tacit crystal]

Yes. I double crafted Krom (2h sword) two days ago in my Hard solo world

[random kayak]

Omg guys Mr troll was so nice he helped me clear a copper deposit ❤️

It's so sad he died of natural causes 💔

[candid basalt]

…never changes

[candid basalt]

Arrows are natural

[craggy mason]

anyone else get a brief freeze when approaching the bog witch hut

[candid basalt]

That’s the ghost watching you play

[plush umbra]

it's the music, the track is so long that there's a lil hitch when it starts playing

[craggy mason]

I have music turned off

[plush umbra]

it'll still play, just silently

[craggy mason]

I see

[plush umbra]

hi ppl of valheim :3c

[silver oracle]

hello stranger

[plush umbra]

hello!!!!

i feel a passion making a new valheim run today till my silly bf comes

[craggy mason]

I forgot yellow mushrooms aren't a valid food for boars. It's been 10 ingame days with no babies.

[candid basalt]

Yellow shrooms are for track lighting

[craggy mason]

track ?

[merry pebble]

🙅‍♂️

[candid basalt]

Make a ledge with yellow shrooms along its length, hide it behind reversed signs, and makes an ambient glow

[craggy mason]

huh, never thought of that

can I put yellow shrooms on item stands ? or would that be too op of a light source

[fair cairn]

isnt it 1/3 slower?

[candid basalt]

Item stand yes

You can make all kinds of lights with yellow shrooms and item stands. Surtling trophy’s are good for flaming lights too

[nocturne wolf]

Dvergr circlets work well

[craggy mason]

circlets are a classic, but pricey

[candid basalt]

Yep. Crypt keys have a nice glow too

I like making decorative grills with surtling trophies and iron cage pieces

[random kayak]

Should I chop up the elder or should I burn the thing with arrows?

[craggy mason]

whatever floats your karve

[random kayak]

No like how is elder usually killed

[plush umbra]

up to preference, i like melee (note that he's neutral to slash, blunt and pierce, so all melee weapons have the same advantage...except torches, but not sure how good their damage is against him even with the fire weakness)

[random kayak]

Oh really? I killed him last time via fire arrows Because his damage was absurdly high so I was scared of even touching him

[rotund parrot]

melee is just faster, you don't even need to move, if a root spawn near you you can easily destroy it and return your attention to the elder

[plush umbra]

most people seem to use bows because bows are popular and strong. i was told early on that he's way harder melee, but having actually done that many times since, i don't think i agree?
he won't do the ranged attack if you're within melee range, and the stomp is so generously telegraphed that it's easy to roll

[random kayak]

Granted it took SOO long

I have max troll armor and should tank some hits

[plush umbra]

though his stomp does deal a lot of damage if it gets to hit 😅 it's just easy to avoid due to how slooow it is

[random kayak]

Uh oh

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to tank anything, a snail can dodge his stomps

[random kayak]

I might have to learn his attack patterns then

[random kayak]

Does he swipe?

[rotund parrot]

It's just one, a very telegraphed stomp

[plush umbra]

nope, his only melee attack is a stomp

[nocturne wolf]

Just block or walk back when he raises his foot and you can’t get hurt

[random kayak]

Huh... Interesting I'll probably get near and see how long the wind up is

[craggy mason]

ngl I just spam the elder with fire arrows usually

[plush umbra]

which is super viable, he has a rare x2 weakness to fire damage

[random kayak]

I have all of weapons and tools level 3
(Because I need to get ancient bark and also the iron faster)

[rotund parrot]

Abyssal razor is probably the weapon with the most dps you can have for that fight

[random kayak]

Oh right before I forget I need set up a portal so when I see a swamp I can tp away and resupply

[nocturne wolf]

Any bronze weapon is good enough, if you’ve already made the axe you don’t need anything else.

[plush umbra]

though if you have something else with a higher damage output, consider that. he may be a tree, but axes don't have a unique advantage against him

[craggy mason]

is he a tree, or is he just a really tall greydwarf

none of them have weakness to axes, but ||abominations|| do

[plush umbra]

both i'd say

[plush umbra]

||abominations|| don't 😅
the only enemy in the entire game that takes a "tool" damage type (chop or pickaxe) is ||stone golems||, which have a x2 weakness to pickaxe damage, but are also immune to chop.
everything else is immune to both types, it's just the slash damage hurting greydwarfs, the elder and ||abominations||

[random kayak]

If it bleeds it dies

[near furnace]

I would say more The elder barks, than bleeds 🤔

or de-barks rather

[nocturne wolf]

Battering ram vs stone golem

Weak points on trolls, seeker soldiers and gjalls are neutral to pickaxe and chop

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe he bleeds sap?

[random kayak]

I wish I knew how to make portals look good in my builds 😭 they always look so awkward

[near furnace]

Hm.. you might be right 🤔

[plush umbra]

unexpected, gotta test that sometime, kinda weird but not exactly game-breaking

[near furnace]

I can belive that 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t tested, it’s just what the wiki says.
Now I want to give a troll a headache with a battering ram, but the setup will be difficult

[plush umbra]

a bartering ram
deep north trader revealed

i want that now, make it real

[near furnace]

call him "Haggerling" ?

[random kayak]

I'm going full melee eff it and see how I fare, I don't have a good bow unfortunately

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll be fine, I’ve always fought him with a melee weapon

[rotund parrot]

I once killed it on very hard with a flint knife

[random kayak]

There are difficulties to this game?

[rotund parrot]

Yes, easy, normal, hard and very hard. There's a big difference between all of them

[random kayak]

How do you Access any of it?

[rotund parrot]

World modifiers

[random kayak]

Where

No genuinely I have no idea where it is

[rotund parrot]

In world selection before joining a game

I'd say playing with everything on normal if it's your first time is probably ideal

[random kayak]

I didn't know about it what's the default?

[nocturne wolf]

Normal is default. That’s why it’s normal.

[random kayak]

Is normal hard as a first timer?

I've been counting my deaths and so far 3

[nocturne wolf]

If I had to say that it’s either hard or not hard, the first five biomes aren’t hard and after that it is hard.

[random kayak]

The wind is pissing me off so much lol 😭

It's going to take 2 days to get to my elder area

[silver oracle]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE SAILING.

YEAHHHHHH BABY WOOOOOOOOOOO why is this boat so slow

[random kayak]

It's a raft

[silver oracle]

yeah

[fallen zephyr]

The one thing that Valheim doesn't have is a small number of billionaires with 'mega-yachts'.

[silver oracle]

i’m never sailing again hell naw

[fallen zephyr]

Actually, I'm now curious as to whether Valheim does have any billionaires? That's a lot of storage, but I dunno...

[silver oracle]

the horrors

[random kayak]

I just found Haldor accidentally and that was the easiest megingjord find

[fallen zephyr]

*incidentally.

[random kayak]

No accidentally because I was trying to find a way to get to the elder

[fallen zephyr]

The difference, in context, is so minimal I kinda regret even invoking the asterisk.

[random kayak]

LMAO

[silver oracle]

found a video theorizing when valheim’s 1.0 will release (2025)

[merry pebble]

All videos of this kind are completly baseless 😄

[fallen zephyr]

And didn't link it...

[silver oracle]

wait shit

[fallen zephyr]

(Also, the baseless thing).

[silver oracle]

https://youtu.be/gtkbfEDliwQ?si=XGtn2PqWInVGtRIh here then

[random kayak]

I've been sailing for the past hour and every single direction I take the wind blows against me

[vocal rivet]

Have you tried not sailing into the wind?

[warm sandal]

LOL i just spewed some coffe laughing Derek 😄

[random kayak]

Can't because the elder is on the other side of the island and the island happens to be 6 islands long in one single area

And I just died... In the swamp with no karve to get back

[fervent hemlock]

best staffs to take into battle/ make?

[random kayak]

Because a serpent cornered me and I had to make an emergency landing. No land and it was dark and beached it on a small sand bank and 3 leeches one shot me

[warm sandal]

I do love when a map has a lot of smaller chunks of islands and not those giga continents that take you from the ashlands to the deepnorth without needing any boat at all 😦

[random kayak]

I don't know what to do

[warm sandal]

build another karve...what else is there to do`?

[random kayak]

I don't have a karve but chances are another serpent is going to kill my naked corpse run

[warm sandal]

was it a night serpent? than it will be gone come morning

night spawns do despawn...just the storm spawns remain

[random kayak]

Storm

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need to bring a bow and some arrows

[random kayak]

The swamp is going to kill me if I try to board the old karve again

[warm sandal]

unfortunate...aproch from a different angle?

[random kayak]

3 leeches in the pitch black is so genuinely effing annoying

[warm sandal]

the leeches can be taken care of by arrows or a thrown spear and no one said you need to go in the dark?

[random kayak]

I couldn't I had to land or my karve was dead and I would drown so I landed but unfortunately a very small sandbank beached it so the serpent could somehow still reach me with a dreugr up my ass

Also it wasn't by choice when it was dark I spent 1-2 hours to trying to navigate to the elder but a gigantic super continent seems to be in the way and managed to drop a storm on me while I was trying to circle the swamp

[warm sandal]

i understand that... i meant you do not need to go back there in the dark...maybe i missunderstood your comment

if you go by day from a different angle with some bow and arrow and spear you could gain back what you lost there that is what i was trying to communicate 😄

[random kayak]

I don't know how rngesus was legitimately trying everything to screw me over I legitimately had no wind for 30 or close to 45 mins while circling the island

[random kayak]

Why did I even say this it just went against ME AGAIN holy crap

Not one second and it went against 😭

[warm sandal]

I know that feeling... i had thata happen to me a lot... everytime i needed to turn and was hopeful to catch a sliver of wind it would turn to be a headwind again...sometimes it is that way

[random kayak]

I'm not even mad that's just disrespect to a massive level

Odin you can suck my- god it's already turning dark I'm dead

[warm sandal]

we kinda tend to remember all the times it went against us more then we remember the times it was in our favor..that is what i found out looking back at all the videos I recorded 😄 i would have sworn that game hates me but it is just our bias of perception 😄

[random kayak]

Iron gate secretly has a code to give the chance of head winding you no matter what

[warm sandal]

if you choose to believe so, who am I to tell you otherwise? Me gonna go and test my streaming setup...because i do swear that OBS-Studio likes messing with my audio settings while i am not looking 😄

[random kayak]

Goodbye!!!! I hope you get it set up

FINALLY I GOT IT

[pastel hull]

Hi

[merry pebble]

In the ending he said very late 2025 or early 2026 (which i also find realistic but its still just my/his baseless assumption) 🙂

[dawn solstice]

If I install a mod that adds decorative build pieces...and then remove that mod...what happens? Like if there is an update to the game that breaks the mod.

[silver oracle]

ah

[merry pebble]

Probably best to ask in #mods-discussion 🙂 folks there will most likely know

[random kayak]

Okay the elder was surprisingly easy

[fallen zephyr]

Once you destroy his walking frame it's a doddle.

[ruby nacelle]

anybody got a server where they're looking to add more players three adult males in their forties and up looking for a server to build their town in

[ruby nacelle]

oh I'm too Discord illiterate to navigate that

[fallen zephyr]

I heard that about Fader. Bravo you for finding that loophole (pardon the pun).

[plush umbra]

hi guys .3

Hru yall been

[plush umbra]

Good how are you?

[plush umbra]

waiting for a friend for valheim -w-

[plush umbra]

Thats good where u up to?

[plush umbra]

wdym

What section/biome/boss are u up to

[plush umbra]

well we are on elder and at this point i played so much i hate dark forest sections 😭

Nice nice im in plains rn

[plush umbra]

i despise dark forest due to how long it takes and the difficulty jump between first boss and elder 😭

[plush umbra]

Im scared for the boss

what is the plain boss

[plush umbra]

Difficulty jumps kinda suck but then u feel so good when u just stand there and dont take damage

[plush umbra]

Yagluth

[plush umbra]

eh i cheesed elder via being next to him and dodge his attacks

Elder is pretty easy. The trolls and the grind for copper is what sucks

that guy is no fair when it comes to fair fight

[merry pebble]

That is no cheesing 😄

[plush umbra]

Bronze not really just copper but copper mining stinks

[plush umbra]

what is it thenn

[plush umbra]

copper mining makes me go goblin mode

[plush umbra]

Being good at dodging and using ur skills to make the fight easy

@merry pebble how many drakes have u punched

[merry pebble]

Normal fight? Dodging his attacks and getting in your own, seems normal to me. 🙂

[merry pebble]

A few 😄

[plush umbra]

His long range attack is js unfair tho :<

[plush umbra]

Standing behind the pillars and using bow always works for me

[merry pebble]

Not really, you can set him on fire with arrows 😄 you are about even (+you can hide behind pillars since you are small compared to him 😉 )

[plush umbra]

my friend is gonna main bow and ig ill js be on the elders leg 😭 he whimpers whenever he dies in game and its so annoying

I hate dying but im not gonna change the difficulty cos i like the challenge

[plush umbra]

i play on hard

Almost killed myself in the middle of an ocean earlier cos i jumped in for serpent meat and got back to the boat with 10hp.

[plush umbra]

first time i encountered serpent i screamed like a girl cuz it was like a jumpscare

I came across 1 just before then like 5 mins later i got another. And im like wtf

I mean im happy to have the meat but goddam

lol

i have 100 hours in and still didnt go past swamp qwq

Ive got about the same and have only made it to plains so this is gonna be my first time going past plains

[plush umbra]

yeahh game started not to be so much fun cuz i kept playing alone

still debatable if im having fun rn

Im always playing alone ive got not friends to play with rn

My only friend who plays we dont really have good times to play together

1 thing i love abt valheim is it lets me upgrade my culture abt certain stuff cuz grinding is so long i js open video in the monitor and watch that while grinding

But we are gonna head to the ashlands together so ya

[plush umbra]

REALL

Im constantly just listening to random videos while doing stuff

i learnt abt analog horror alot lol

Then i get annoyed at people playing cos i see them getting annoyed at the game cos they died FOR THEIR OWN DUMB MISTAKES

[plush umbra]

OMG IVE BEEN WATCHING A BUNCH OF THAT STUFF RECENTLY

and inspired to make animations too

[plush umbra]

i've been watching l4d2's analog horror recently it was fun.

[plush umbra]

Ive been just watching whatever pops up so ive been watching a couple different things

[plush umbra]

tell me some

But they are great to listen to explanations and stuff while going on ur boat

[plush umbra]

I cant think of any of the top of my head but a couple different games

Havent watched one in like a week cos i havent found any new ones and have been watching a valheim playthru

i see

[vocal jackal]

Have any of you fellas noticed the background music changing rapidly as you walk around your base?

Mine's fully situated in the black forest and mostly made of stone, so I think that might be why but it's pretty annoying

[light moat]

Did you build on or near a POI?

[normal oriole]

its because ur near a structure, it changes the music

[vocal jackal]

Ah

Yeah no I just built it in a clearing, but that explains it

[keen cliff]

yeah, you can hear the difference when you walk into Shelter, for example

[vocal jackal]

Aye, would be cool if it didn't change between the stone building and ground inside my walls though, but that's how it is

Just wanted to understand how it worked so I appreciate you fellas explaining it 🙏🏻

[foggy glacier]

anyone have any inspiration about what to do with all the bronze we pick up from the fortresses?

[merry pebble]

Wait, do the spikes drop bronze?

[foggy glacier]

yeah. They drop scrap bronze that you can put in a smelter.

smash 'em with a demolisher.

[merry pebble]

Ooooh, ok, i never bothered to break them 😄 i have them as additional "safety" (tho they will never actually do much, so basically for looks 😄 )

Idk, store it away? Might come in handy if you need to make some lights somewhere later down the line. 🙂

[hidden brook]

why is there an invisible broom hitting animals?

[foggy glacier]

ooh, you found the witch.

[hidden brook]

oooh thats what it is, apparently it cant kill big blobs

[foggy glacier]

it shouldn't be invisible though.

[hidden brook]

i meant like an invisible thing using the broom my bad tho lol

[foggy glacier]

you can kill it and get a broom for your kitchen, if you want. 😉

[hidden brook]

joke?

[foggy glacier]

The witch has an animated broom. Kvastur is cool.

[merry pebble]

Just be carefull... It hits kinda hard 😄

[hidden brook]

wait does it hit anyone no matter what?

[foggy glacier]

it's like Dvergr.

[merry pebble]

Not you untill you attack it

[hidden brook]

but cant kill a big blob lol

[foggy glacier]

it probably takes a while to kill an oozer.

[hidden brook]

idk what that is lmao

[hidden brook]

it was too hard lol, also the blob got the broom to half hp lol

[foggy glacier]

You'll find out later in game.

[hidden brook]

also what should i buy from the bog witch

[merry pebble]

everything basically

[hidden brook]

is it anything useful

or rather what can i do with it

[merry pebble]

potions and feasts

[hidden brook]

boring

[merry pebble]

Oh trust me it is not 😄

[foggy glacier]

yeah, lots of stuff is useful. I would definitely recommend powdered dragon eggshells.

[hidden brook]

it might be useful but it sounds hella boring

[foggy glacier]

You'll thank me later.

[hidden brook]

does it just give a ton of hp and stam for a long time?

(the feast)

[merry pebble]

Yep

[gray sand]

"A ton" -> no.

[merry pebble]

and you can eat one 10 times

[hidden brook]

how much does a feast give for example?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, "ton" is kind of an exaggeration, the first 3 give 35 stam and 35 hp each

[gray sand]

If only 2 separate people made and maintained food sheets that are pinned in this channel...

[hidden brook]

so passive agressive for no reason

[gray sand]

Sure...

[hidden brook]

idk if im dumb but that spreadsheet is so confusing lol

[merry pebble]

You just have to give it a bit of time to orient in it 🙂

[gray sand]

Which one did you open?

[hidden brook]

mountain and swamp

[merry pebble]

I assume Scarlets, yours is quite straight forward 🙂

[gray sand]

If you go to mine:

Configurations tab is your quick reference per biome.

Only other tab that most should care about is Sorted and Ordered.

[hidden brook]

oh riight

thanks 😄

[gray sand]

Yeah, click mine. Scarlet's is really good. But you can get lost pretty easily.

[hollow hinge]

Can u make more than one dyrnwyn sword per world?

[foggy glacier]

only if you've played with world modifiers, or if you get lucky when you create it.

[plush umbra]

does plain come before mountain or after mountain

[light moat]

After

[plush umbra]

meadows,black forest,swamp,plain,mountain,mist,ash?

[light moat]

Swap plains and mountains 🙂

Meadows
Black Forest
Swamp
Mountain
Plains
Mistlands
Ashlands
Deep North

[plush umbra]

i got it right

[hidden brook]

is it fair to assume that the deep north is quite deep in the north?

[light moat]

That’s a fair assumption

[hidden brook]

lets gooo

[cosmic summit]

Does the food preparation table benefit from any of the cauldron upgrades?

[wicked snow]

What are the best weapons for ash? Frostner? Mistwalker? Ashlands lightning weapons?

[gray sand]

No.

[wicked snow]

No, food prep is just an extension of the cauldron because it doesn't make sense to make a pie in a cauldron full of water

[gray sand]

Best is subjective.

Mistwalker does extremely well out of the ones you mentioned.

[cosmic summit]

I'm planning a redesign of my kitchen to accommodate the new crafting station. It's currently an open air kitchen in the courtyard next to my cabin. But I'd like to have the food prep table indoors if it doesn't need to upgrade stations

[keen cliff]

food prep table needs a roof anyways

[wicked snow]

My question is more like is the mistwalker better than the new swords and clubs and stuff

[rotund parrot]

It is not even close

[chilly wharf]

The new feast stats seem hardly better than the other foods, except for the timers. I haven't been able to try them yet, am I missing something?

[gray sand]

Nothing pre-Ash is better than the Ashlands weapons.

[cosmic summit]

There's a roof around the fire. If I had to place it next to the cauldron a roof wouldn't be a problem

[wicked snow]

what about the fire swrord, doesnt seem like a good idea vs fire creatures

[rotund parrot]

That they are very inexpensive to make

[gray sand]

What are you even talking about?

First it was "What weapon is good going into the Ashlands?"
Second it was "Now that I am in the Ashlands, are any of the pre-Ash weapons better than the new stuff I can make?"
Now it is "Hey, is the post-Ashlands weapon any good?"

Pick a timeframe? Stick with it?

[rotund parrot]

That sword is extremely good

[keen cliff]

lol

[wicked snow]

post ashlands weapons?

[gray sand]

"The fire sword"

[chilly wharf]

They seem like better bang for you buck, but it still takes around 10 food items to make one, even if you do get 10 uses

[wicked snow]

I'm just asking generally for the most creatures you face in the ash, what weapon will give you generally a better advantage

[rotund parrot]

Like good to the point where you can kill a 1 star seeker soldier in 2 hit

[gray sand]

The most correct answer to that is "Whichever weapon you, personally, feel like wielding."

[gray sand]

No, because that is the tradeoff.
Less stats for much longer time.

Use feasts for general purpose. When going to fight a boss or something else that is combat-heavy in focus, eat regular food.

[rotund parrot]

It's what makes them cheap, 10 use for 10 cheap food with worst stats that would last 2 or 3 times less time overall

[wicked snow]

well then for now I guess we're going in with mistwalkers, frost and spirit seem to be good with most ashlands creatures

[chilly wharf]

They are better than normal food, but they just seem kind of underwhelming just reading the stats. Maybe in practice I will find them more exciting

[gray sand]

They are not better than normal food.

That's the point.
Both feasts and normal food are different and have their use-cases.

[wicked snow]

Anyone have a stratgy on vineberry farming? Like how to plant them and such

[rotund parrot]

The sailor's bounty is one that will just be easier to eat constantly than the best food you can have at that point which is the serpent stew but with better stats overall than everything else

[foggy glacier]

@wicked snow I have a protected field for flax and barley inside my base. I just put up stone walls all around it and planted the ashvines around the edge. Honestly, you'll find enough ruined structures around, you can also create a portal ring for the wild ones.

[chilly wharf]

I pretty much save my serpent meat for boss fights, is there an efficient way to farm it?

[gray sand]

Nope.

[rotund parrot]

Yes, by making sure you sail at night

also when sailing, look behind you often

[wicked snow]

from what I gather they just need a flat tall surface

[rotund parrot]

many serpents you miss because you just sail by them during their animation

[gray sand]

So... "No, because it's completely random. You can sail during the time the random is active, but it is still random. So in terms of efficiency.... no, because it's completely random."

👍

[chilly wharf]

Hmm, maybe I will have to keep a better eye out for them. I rarely encounter them.

[keen cliff]

sail at night and in bad weather to maximize your chances

i hear if your ship is full of iron it raises the chance 🙂

[gray sand]

[chilly wharf]

I spent a bunch of time sailing between zone at night in the Ocean, maybe the hold full of iron was the missing thing

[keen cliff]

oh, larger chance if you don't have portal materials, and don't eat any food

[chilly wharf]

lololol

[merry pebble]

Either longship full of iron as said above or just on the raft, both work pretty well i heard 😄

[rotund parrot]

If you sail during nights and look around so you don't miss any, you should expect at least 1 serpent on average every night

[odd helm]

the good thing is that one serpent usually yields enough meat to last you a while

6-7 pieces per kill on default settings

6-7 serpent stews is nothing to sneeze at

[light moat]

Too late, I already sneeze every time I encounter a serpent

[odd helm]

whatever helps you kill it faster~

[rotund parrot]

That's if you make serpent stews but if you make sailor's feast that same serpent will probably get you at least 3.5 feasts which last up to 29 hours in game, that's how stupid cheap feasts are

[odd helm]

indeed

[vital umbra]

hi scarlet

[odd helm]

and sailor's bounty is pretty viable up til plains and mistlands if you're using feasts often

heya~

[vital umbra]

hows existence

[plucky rampart]

just found the swamp for the first time, wish me luck lads.

[odd helm]

pain, but getting better every day

[vital umbra]

Oh that sounds about right, atleast i think i'm getting better

[rough mist]

Does anyone know if there will be like a 2nd valheim game or if they will keep adding to the one we have

[gray sand]

No and no.
Some post-1.0 cleanup updates are almost assured.
But the game is meant to have a defined ending.

[nocturne wolf]

Have you brought poison resistance mead?

[vital umbra]

i'll make valheim 2 😤

and it'll have horses and armour slots and bears and another biome and diving and a plains tier bow and hercules ✨

[chilly wharf]

And potatoes?

[merry pebble]

Oh, i though you wanted to make valheim 😄

[vital umbra]

potatoes, and the mistlands will be spiders instead.

and the deep north will have jotuns...🤢

[plucky rampart]

zero clue what that is

[vital umbra]

create a mead ketill my guy

[nocturne wolf]

All attacks are locked to being up and down, players will have to complain about not aiming horizontally instead

[vital umbra]

oh and you can fly, obv, with like some fucking cape or something.

some sort of automated cart so you don't have to put effort into the game anymore

[safe atlas]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a server for a new group of people with quality of life mods just to make valheim a bit more playable?

[merry pebble]

You can look in #1024264966712340510 🙂 there are lots of helpfull tags you can filter with

[safe atlas]

Most servers seem to be by people to join groups and have a "friend group" kind of server

[gray sand]

"More playable"??

[safe atlas]

Yes?

[gray sand]

How so?

[merry pebble]

It is 100% playable, how much more can it be?

[safe atlas]

I mean the game itself has so many things that could be improved but its all left at mods to handle

[light moat]

99% playable at the moment

[gray sand]

Non-descript answer is non-descript...

[safe atlas]

a basic thing that comes to mind for me, is using mats from chests in your base when building/crafting

[gray sand]

Why?

[safe atlas]

That's a very good upgrade to the game itself

[vital umbra]

....ahhhh....you mean like in modded terraria or something...i can't reaally see that for valheim

[gray sand]

Not an upgrade.

[chilly wharf]

Didn't Pacific Drive include crafting from base containers as a default behaviour?

[merry pebble]

If you like it then get it 🙂 but dont present your opinions as objective truth

[vital umbra]

well i'm sure its convenient, but its not necessary.

[safe atlas]

Well to be fair I never mentioned them as facts

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message ?

[safe atlas]

I just straight forward came and asked what my needs where

[gray sand]

That's a very good upgrade to the game itself

This is a statement.

[safe atlas]

Ofc it is, but I cant state my belief?

If you agree cool, if not still cool

[gray sand]

If you clarify it as "In my opinion" then people wouldn't be pointing to the "Don't state it as fact" aspect.

[safe atlas]

I just didnt use any of the phrases, "In my opinion..." "As a matter of fact..."

[odd helm]

settle down y'all

[chilly wharf]

I don't see a problem with just "leaving it to mods". It actually seems like a good solution to me. Game devs get to make whatever design decisions they like and modders and players can make changes as they like

[gray sand]

My problem is with "I mean the game itself has so many things that could be improved"

Because no, it doesn't.

[safe atlas]

So am I to take that as a fact or your opinion? Because my opinion would be as stated there

so we agree to disagree 😁

[gray sand]

It is a fact.
It has many things that can be changed, and whether or not you view those changes as improvements is the matter of opinion.

[chilly wharf]

the game itself has so many things that could be changed to my taste

emphasis on changed

[vital umbra]

sure it does, needs bears.

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[vital umbra]

🐻

[chilly wharf]

It needs a shitting log

Man I love that show. Anyone else watch Norsemen?

"Can’t a man crawl around an intricate subterranean tunnel system without being accused of all sorts of things? "

[wooden tapir]

idk, most of the systems that are in play in this game all have a purpose. i think the only thing i can think of that is a necesity is adding a gear set inventory that isnt in the main inventory. having your gear all in 1 inventory doesnt make sense to me. you can still have it count toward the weight but like

those 5 extrea gear slots are needed

[nocturne wolf]

There's six items that can be equipped, excluding hands. You probably forgot ammo
And we don't need these

[gray sand]

Not needed at all.

[vital umbra]

yeah thats very subjective, i personally think armour slots would look good and be good

i think having equipment in the same 'space' as literally everything else is kinda like....not streamlined, kinda messy, terraria has such a great system for that in comparison, the "inventory" is where all your shit is, not necessarily your equipment.

an inventory is like your bag, and everything you put on your body doesn't make sense to me to take up "space" as if in a bag aswell..

[wooden tapir]

yea i phrased it wrong, its not needed, but it would be a welcomed change. having them be part of your inventory doesnt make sense to me. there is no benefit, only a hinderance

[keen cliff]

nothing about in game inventory makes sense, it's a video game.

the limitations are part of the system

[vital umbra]

and still as i referenced terraria has a much nicer looking and feeling system ☕

[nocturne wolf]

I don't see what's wrong with having all items together in one convenient location

[wooden tapir]

wasted 5-6 slots of inventory

[languid drift]

250 days into a Immersive + Hardcore preset World and I'm dying for more inventory slots please

[keen cliff]

it obviously makes you pick and choose, because slots are finite

[vital umbra]

ahh whatever this is boring "approve of my opinion" banter idc anymore

[gray sand]

That's the point 🙂

[vital umbra]

whats something more interesting to talk about

[keen cliff]

no shit Sevrahn, did youi think i was arguing it wasn't?

[languid drift]

Im exploring Mountains with 5-6 free inventory slots cause I need to have a Hoe, 10 wood and Stone in order to pillar up to survive "You are being hunted"

[wooden tapir]

what do you think will be in the deep north as far as enemies?

[vital umbra]

i thoroughly disagree and the feeling is mutual so there is literally nowhere to go from there

[nocturne wolf]

We need lightning enemies

[wooden tapir]

maybe som yetti?

[vital umbra]

no

[light moat]

Hope we see some lightning enemies!

[wooden tapir]

a lightning yetti?

[vital umbra]

yetis are from asia though

[languid drift]

Lightning Wolves and a new Wolf raid

[vital umbra]

lightning bears 👁️

[wooden tapir]

maybe, i think wolves would be kinda boring tho

[light moat]

Would kinda like to see a new golem 🤔

[languid drift]

Bears would be nice

[languid drift]

I'm joking

[wooden tapir]

maybe an ice golem boss?

[nocturne wolf]

I want an enemy that can inflict a status effect that uses the love potion's systems to increase all enemy spawn and star chances.

[wooden tapir]

like a giant glacier that has come alive to take revenge

[light moat]

Automatons could be interesting

[keen cliff]

i've heard giants are prominant in Norse lore. it would make sense to see them in the Deep North

[languid drift]

Glacier crab

[wooden tapir]

oh thats a good idea

[vital umbra]

i'm pretty sure i either know what the final boss is going to be, or there is going to be a very big curveball, i don't think theres going to be something as simple as some jotun or some ice giant..

[wooden tapir]

we already seen giants, they were skeletons in mistlands

[vital umbra]

hi derek

[keen cliff]

yes, which is a good way to hint they might be coming

[wooden tapir]

true, giants would be pretty cool to fight

[keen cliff]

foreshadowing

[nocturne wolf]

But I can’t jump over giants

[keen cliff]

lol

[light moat]

Set skill: jump 1000

[vital umbra]

a giant would be such a boring concept for the deep north boss after all we've been through 😮‍💨

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn’t need to be one boss

[wooden tapir]

i dont think boss, but maybe like an elite enemy?

like maybe they are not common, but still roam around the deep north

[light moat]

Depends on how it’s delivered. Undead- particularly skeleton proved to be interesting in Ashlands. But yeah, better as an enemy than a boss imo

[vital umbra]

yes but no, i think they're kinda cool but i can't believe how many undead there are in the game 😬

[light moat]

Game has dragons, both very bad ass 😁

[vocal rivet]

We're in purgatory. WE'RE undead.

[odd helm]

Valheim's been a zombie survival game since the start if you think about it
-# /s

[nocturne wolf]

So the skeletons and draugr are un-undead?

[light moat]

They’re re-deads lol

[nocturne wolf]

Other living human enemies could have some behaviours that we haven’t seen previously to give deep north some unique combat, like blocking or jumping

[gray sand]

Lumberjack Simulator 2026 😉

[wooden tapir]

a jumping enemy would be crazy

[light moat]

Would like to see unblockable/unparryable attacks, bonus points if they can feint 👀

[wooden tapir]

so 2 star warriors

[vital umbra]

the final boss is the potato bear that can dive and has armour slots

[nocturne wolf]

We’ve had enough fun with polearm secondary, now it’s the enemies turn

[keen cliff]

seekers are already basically jumping enemies

[gray sand]

Hares are jumping enemies 😛

[keen cliff]

lol

[wooden tapir]

nah but they are stupid, they arent trying to jump over your attacks

[odd helm]

Spiky arm golem has you covered there~

[nocturne wolf]

None of them use jumping to dodge and attack in the way a player can though

[keen cliff]

they'll make a jumping blob which actually jumps to dodge, in honor of Blob

[gray sand]

Any kind of "smart" or "interesting" enemy you're thinking of would immediately get nerfed into the ground due to complaints from the general playerbase.

[wooden tapir]

yea but its the last biome, it should be harder than anything previous

[gray sand]

See for reference: Mistlands releases, Seekers are fun -> Immediately nerfed.
Ashlands releases, war is fun -> Immediately nerfed.

🙂

[wooden tapir]

some sort of smart enemy would be good fun

[gray sand]

Which is why it would be immediately nerfed.

[wooden tapir]

oh

so we dont want to have fun, got it

[gray sand]

You have to understand the volume of super, super casual people playing a self-titled "Brutal Survival" game.

[vital umbra]

if the super casual people can get past the ashlands then they better smarten up a bit 🤣

[gray sand]

So anything that is interesting and anti-casual gets mountains of complaints from the Sims 4 players and subsequently gets nerfed.

[vital umbra]

I kinda hate when pandering is done to people bad at games to so much of an extent

[gray sand]

Welcome to the modern gaming industry 🤷‍♂️
