[vital umbra]

The aaaage old saying..."get good"

[gray sand]

Has been replaced by "get money."

[vital umbra]

shame

[wooden tapir]

i mean i thought the ashlands was pretty difficult, it had a harsh learning curve. if you dont adapt you dont thrive

[gray sand]

And casuals have the fattest wallets.

[vital umbra]

i mean honestly the ashlands specifically i didn't find difficult at first in alot of scenarios, just really annoyingly tedious

Oh theres another starred warrior, and 17 twitchers, and 4 voltures, and a morgen, and a valkyrie, and 2 lava blobs, and some askvin, wow im having so much fun 😎

[wooden tapir]

i mean most of my dificulty was self caused. i would just disrespect the enemeies and die for it. or get myself into a bas situation and make the wrong decisons leading to death

[gray sand]

The only real "fooooock" on entry to Ashlands for me was that everything is immune to Poison.
So all your bombs for dealing with AoE groups just... don't work.

[wooden tapir]

a lot of " let me drink this health potion right in front of this guy like hes not just going to hit me while im giga slowed by drinking animation"

i died like this several times before i thought " hey maybe, you get some space between your enemy before trying to heal"

[nocturne wolf]

Jump before you drink

Or before anything

[gray sand]

Eh

[keen cliff]

i think Ashlands is a biome where people who naturally played cautious did alright, and people who coasted through biomes recklessly got a rude awakening.

[gray sand]

Demolisher.
Infinite space.

[merry pebble]

Blob, i think you would LOVE a little game named Jump king

[gray sand]

Jump King? You mean... Mario? 😛

[nocturne wolf]

But I’m already a Jump Viking

[vital umbra]

didn't there used to be much more spawns in the ashlands at first

[keen cliff]

the spawn rates and numbers were adjusted down

[vital umbra]

i havent been there since last playthrough

[merry pebble]

No no no, its not a me, Mario 😄

[wooden tapir]

yea, i played up through the plains like 5 times before this current playthrough so i felt pretty confident. i just coasted through every biome just hack and slashing everything in my way. mistlands was not much different even tho i had never been there. not enough enemeis to be too cautious for. but ashlands was pretty brutal

[vital umbra]

and until i could obliterate things with flametal equipment, i seriously just found it to be constantly annoying.

[wooden tapir]

playing as mele tho, i think if you go into the ashlands as a mage, its pretty easy

the fire staff is broken

[keen cliff]

i stormed the ashlands as a mage. I wouldn't call it "easy", but it was doable. I've died a couple times. Mostly stupidity. I haven't died as melee yet, but i've come close.

[wooden tapir]

starting as mele is huge disadvantage since you have 0 clue what the enemies do

and you are in kill threat perma

[keen cliff]

yeah, that's what i figured. that's why i went in as a mage 🙂

[wooden tapir]

your only "advantage" is that you are probably running mistwalker so your attacks slow

i still remember my first warrior, i walked up, went to parry

then he delayed and 1 shot me

[nocturne wolf]

The first enemy I fought was a 1-star warrior who left me below 10 hp

[wooden tapir]

^

when you are used to parrying for 700 hours, then this one specific enemy has a delayed attack

tends to prove as a challenge

[merry pebble]

Heh, i feel that surprise when first encountering them 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I immediately learned why the feather cape had been buffed for that update

[vital umbra]

If i can recount my first landing...it was between like 3 spawners and my ship got destroyed by like....is there even a limit to how many fucking charred can be present at the same time?

[nocturne wolf]

I’m pretty sure the spawners have no limits, that might just be night spawns. I’ll check the wiki

Monuments of torment can spawn as many enemies as they need to

[vital umbra]

well pulling it out of my ass it looked like 40-50 charred...and i just got here 🙂‍↔️

i was actually so upset and i wanted to explore so badly i just used dev commands to fuck everything and then rebuild my ship and a portal, it was all dark and it was night-time and i got my ship stuck on shallow water ofc

i think just the next day i then fought off another horde and found my first morgen, didn't try to fight it just tried to hide on a rock which it instantly destroyed, that was terrifying until i found out how easy they are to parry.

[keen cliff]

Valheim is definitely a game where knowledge and not panicing are key

[wooden tapir]

yea i heard quite a bit of people had problems with morgens, but i never personally did. might be the 2nd easiest enemy

[keen cliff]

i tend to die when i forget the "don't panic" part

[wooden tapir]

true

[gray sand]

Morgens are so simple in melee because you just parry them and they never roll around.

[manic nova]

whenever i place my stone throne it breaks...??

[merry pebble]

Place it on stone or ground

[manic nova]

okay

[nocturne wolf]

Stone can’t be supported by wood

[manic nova]

that was my hunch

[wooden tapir]

unless the wood is blue, meaning its grounded

[chilly wharf]

Don't tell the devs about wood lintels in stone buildings

[vital umbra]

morgens need to deal like more damage or something.

[wooden tapir]

i mean, they do the same as warriors. i will not fight a 2 star morgen without bonemass

[vital umbra]

well atleast warriors are a bit more difficult to parry sometimes

[wooden tapir]

true

[gray sand]

Funny, given a Morgen is a literal bone mass 😉

[wooden tapir]

i think my 2nd putrid hole ever had a 2 star morgen, its still in there

[vital umbra]

i know someones gonna say warriors are easy but my experience is having difficulty figuring them out

[wooden tapir]

might go challenge it for its hole someday

[vital umbra]

died to lord reto more than fader

[keen cliff]

i'm going to absolutely kill lord reto with asksvins

use signs to make a box for them whiel they hatch

[wooden tapir]

@vital umbra oh i struggled to learn their attack patern for a long time, they are the hardest enemy for me to face still.

[nocturne wolf]

Their damage isn’t the problem, they’re too tanky
4800 health AND a 0.5x resistance to physical

[wooden tapir]

they are weak to lightning tho, and i use thunder axes

[nocturne wolf]

He’s just a blue warrior

[wooden tapir]

only problem is, i cant parry a starred morgen with axes

[vital umbra]

I struggle with red warriors 🗿

[nocturne wolf]

I hope you at least find the green ones ok

[wooden tapir]

id rather fight 3 2 star archers than 1 1 star warrior tbh

i hate warriors

[nocturne wolf]

Sprint jump back, wait for their swing and do a secondary while sprinting forwards before you land

[merry pebble]

Well he has more than 4 times the hp of 2 star warrior, and dmg raised by 180, 140, 240 and 100 😄

[wooden tapir]

is his cave big enough for me to summon a troll in there?

[nocturne wolf]

But with all the two-star spawners players need to get past for the Dyrnwyn, they will have a lot of practice

Trolls can’t be summoned in dungeons

[wooden tapir]

i havent fought him yet

rats

how about the roots? i can summon those yea?

[dull sequoia]

Rats!

[vital umbra]

my practice didn't pay off well enough i guess lol

[wooden tapir]

i dare not take on lord retro as a mele

[vital umbra]

he made a warrior build resort to arrow spamming and running away terrified

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, those work

[gray sand]

?

Dodge duck dip dive and dodge 🙂

[vital umbra]

i hate dodging

[long locust]

gonna be so honest I have barely noticed enemy scaling since switching to mage lol

[wooden tapir]

i dont feel like dying 20 times

[vital umbra]

hi scissor

[long locust]

I just fireball until death hits them, just takes a little longer on the warriors than it did on seekers hi

my asksvins hatched btw

[wooden tapir]

yea mage is broken in ashlands

very rarely will you find yourself in danger

[long locust]

root staff is kinda insane tbh

[wooden tapir]

wait till u upgrade it. i can summon 5 roots

it feels a bit unfair

3-5 roots, then you just circle around them, and yea thats that

something getting too close? use fire staff

[gray sand]

Fire mage and root mage are broken.

Frost mage and ling mage are severely lacking.

[vital umbra]

all i ever heard is how great frost mage is in the ashlands

slowing enemies and enemies being weak to its damage

[gray sand]

Fireball does better.

[nocturne wolf]

There’s no reason for a mage to limit themselves like this

[vital umbra]

i just entered the ashlands on a mage build on someones world....legit fam, fireball was better sometimes and for alot of situations the ice staff was more reliable

[gray sand]

Some of use find fire magic boring 🤷‍♂️
So we are back to being melee until Frost gets a better option.

[wooden tapir]

the fire staff does more blunt dmg than fire dmg, so it proves very useful, also the added knockback, just keeps you a safe distance from anything that might kill you

[vital umbra]

I always used the frost against voltures, serpents, & warriors, and fireballs against archers and morgens pretty much..

[gray sand]

Fire allows you to just toss it out and keep moving for full damage.
Frost requires you to slow down and channel.

[long locust]

this exactly, I just throw whatever fits the situation best at them

[wooden tapir]

ice staff only good for blobs

[vital umbra]

...i guess we just have completely different experiences then..

i have found the ice staff amazing

[long locust]

ice is definitely more reliable but it doesn't feel nearly as fun, also forced you to be much closer due to the spread on the icicles

[gray sand]

You are speaking in terms of "Well, in my personal experience."

I am speaking in general terms that always apply.

[wooden tapir]

i feel like ice staff just requires getting too close

[long locust]

I typically only used the ice staff for single target or as a defensive tool for retreating since it would slow enemies

[vital umbra]

and the firespread from the fireball has almost killed me a couple times, i am doing close range pretty much anyways..

[long locust]

and root/trollstav have taken its place as my defensive options now

[gray sand]

If Ice Staff had better accuracy with higher skill and didn't spread as much it becomes a different conversation.

[wooden tapir]

i dont want to be anywhere near a warrior, if he can swing at me, im too close ( if im playing as a mage)

[vital umbra]

shield, parry, ice, has been what i have been doing

[gray sand]

So you're half-maging.

[long locust]

parrying as a mage is wild

[gray sand]

Which is very, very important to clarify at the beginning of the discussion....

[vital umbra]

am i?...i'm only using magic weapons and armour lol..

[wooden tapir]

ive never parried anything as a mage

[vital umbra]

the shield is wonderful for parrying

[nocturne wolf]

The staff of protection can parry every blockable attack because you take no stagger, it’s so broken if used right

[wooden tapir]

dont heven have a shield

[long locust]

REAL mages use REAL robes and REAL EITR ONLY FOOD, REAL mages don't use these SILLY mundane tools like SHIELDS

[vital umbra]

...wh?...wha?...i mean the bubble..

[gray sand]

"In my experience, Ice Staff is amazing compared to Fire Staff. I will choose to completely leave out that I am actually comparion Ice Staff + Shield vs. Fire Staff, as I don't find this crucial detail relevant to the debate."

[long locust]

oh, I see, still odd but yeah the bubble shield is great for parrying, if that's your thing

[vital umbra]

That counts as a shield, because it shields you, i thought that would just make sense to call it

[wooden tapir]

i dont think that bubble can parry tho no?

[vital umbra]

the fact that i parried with it suggests otherwise

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-chat message

[long locust]

the bubble automatically guarantees that any parry with it active will always succeed

as it also prevents overflow damage from hitting you if something breaks the bubble

[gray sand]

The shield does the parrying.
The bubble enables the parrying.

[vital umbra]

If i did that technique with the firestaff, which i have, then the firespread nearly kills me if my shield runs out.

feather cape and all that

[wooden tapir]

oh, i never used a shiled or tried to block ever, so i never parried with the bubble

[gray sand]

Ok but you understand how this is a completely different conversation now with the correct context?

[long locust]

the fire spread in the ashlands only tickles me, and I still wear the feather cape half the time

[vital umbra]

i don't know what context the fireball staff is better in, i like using it against archers so far.

[nocturne wolf]

You can parry while holding a staff, or any weapon/shield that isn’t a tower shield. The bubble negates all stagger so the parry can’t fail.

[wooden tapir]

yea i know you can block/parry with a staff, i just never did it

[vital umbra]

parrying is so awesome

[long locust]

consider the following: the average ashlands encounter consists of 20 different enemies all trying to rip you a stucturally superfluous behind simulatneously, the ice staff is best suited to one on one scenarios, the fireball nukes with no discrimination

[gray sand]

The origins of the the conversation was purely Fire Staff vs. Ice Staff.

You argued on behalf of Ice Staff and discounted every point because "Not my experience." while leaving out critical information that pertains to how you are gaining said experience.

So in your now-given context, no, you will not find Fireball better.

[vital umbra]

ahh i do use the fireballs to break up a crowd, and then for all the stragglers it is terribly inefficient to use up so much mana on some individual twitcher or warrior

[long locust]

the fireball does passable single target damage but where it really shines is the AoE potential

[gray sand]

For most people, who are in the original context, Fireball is better.

[long locust]

now, real shit, why does dundr have to suck so bad

it's so cool conceptually but in reality giving the mage a shotgun just isn't as effective as I'd hope

[wooden tapir]

it doesnt, its just a close quarters weapon

[gray sand]

See my initial about waiting for better Ice/Ling options.

[nocturne wolf]

Parry a morgen then hit it with the dundr. You will immediately change your mind.

[vital umbra]

One on one encounters i don't care about the fireball staff as much, The ice staff is faster and more efficient in close quarters aswell, to parry enemies then keep them slowed is so great.

[long locust]

yk what that sounds like a fun time, I'm gonna go get my dundr

[wooden tapir]

yea i like to be as far away as possible, which makes the ice staff useless since it will miss 70% of its projectiles

[vital umbra]

when i have used the fire staff to fuck up a crowd, like i said with the stragglers, the fireball doesn't work as good for me.

ahh i don't like to be far away because i'm a warrior at heart, i still like to play around with magic.

[gray sand]

I wish it was closer to bows and got higher accuracy with skill level.

[vital umbra]

I think i will like the dundr quite alot when i get to it.

I kinda don't wanna use the trolstav 😎

[wooden tapir]

when im running mage, my biggest goal is survival, so i will just stay at a distance, and ideally never take dmg

[long locust]

I typically try to play mage as a mid-range class anyways, but what's awful is that even with the frost staff at mid range I still miss 80% of my shots unless I'm shooting in to a crowd, which would just be better dealt with by the fireball

[long locust]

it's really strong, just comes with the risk of having to clean up your own mess if you use it irresponsibly

[wooden tapir]

ice staff is good for disposing of trolls tho after they clear the mob

[long locust]

nothing like using a summoned troll to get like 300 ashwood then watching it get slaughtered by hordes in the ashlands

[nocturne wolf]

The trollstav is also an amazing pickaxe

[long locust]

yup, trollstav is my favorite weapon of mass destruction

[wooden tapir]

trollstav best fortress raiding tool in the game

[gray sand]

K is the best fortress raiding tool in the game 😛

[long locust]

took me a second to figure out why the road most travelled fit the ashlands so well, I'm literally in valheim morrowind rn

[wooden tapir]

i might go raid some fortresses today, need some iolite, my axes are still lvl 1 ):

[long locust]

opposite issues here lmao, I have so many gems and nothing to use them on since I don't have the flametal to experiment with every single weapon

[gray sand]

Morroheim.

[gray sand]

I started carrying both Ling axes and Blood axes.
Swapping depending on scenario. Is fun.

[cosmic igloo]

why do some charred warriors just walk away? they dont do the classic AI pathing of greydwarf, they just simply.. walk away

like i just met some 2 star charred warrior, i hit him once and he just 180s and walks away.. why

[long locust]

bruh, one of my asksvins has taken a liking to my dining hall lmao

just started walking around in there, it somehow managed to climb on top of the fermenters

[paper heart]

Hey guys anybody can help me and my friend to join a server, preferably spanish

we are 2 guys looking to play with other peole

[merry pebble]

You can look through #1024264966712340510 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

If an enemy can’t attack for long enough, they try to walk away and eventually lose aggro

[cosmic igloo]

ah

[wooden tapir]

looking for the secret stash

[long locust]

helpful tip for anyone looking to tame loxes, plan your base with murphy's law in mind, anything that can hurt the lox will hurt the lox

my lox keep walking into my beehives and bonfire because I figured they wouldn't be stupid enough to walk directly into the beehives and fire

[wooden tapir]

i feel like its the other way, anything the lox can destroy, they will destroy

[wooden tapir]

LMAO, uh yea the creature ai is very stupid, they dont even see the fire

[long locust]

what's more annoying is that they get scared, and proceed to RUN INTO MORE BEEHIVES

[wooden tapir]

i had one of my askvins climb on top of a hearth, then just stand there as its getting burned. he did not care at all

[long locust]

I may just make a whole nature enclosure on that mistlands island and put my bees there so the idiots don't trample the hives

[wooden tapir]

true

[long locust]

gorlock the destroyer was certainly living up to her namesake

[wooden tapir]

i used stake walls to enclose my lox, im constantly having to repair and rebuild. they just destroy it at the sight of any enemy

[long locust]

#screenshots

[vital umbra]

thats pretty much why i don't wanna use it, i never liked summoning or pet builds in games, i wanna do the fighting myself.

[wooden tapir]

hes adamantly joining the festivities

[long locust]

yeah well she needs to get her nose out of my god damn mead supply

it's MY alcohol addiction not hers

[wooden tapir]

i want to put an askvin in my base, but its not complete and is not enclosed, and i dont want my askvin being stupid and going outside

[cosmic igloo]

man its so fun to fight charred warriors, i cant think of any non-boss unit i've enjoyed more

fallen valkyries are pretty good too but its less fun as melee

[long locust]

I hate valkyries with a burning passion

[wooden tapir]

i used to be scared of the valks in mele, but i got used to them

after killing about 30 of them

[cosmic igloo]

i just dont like that u can basically only attack it after u parry it's talon attack

[keen cliff]

i haven't figured out valk melee yet. still working on that. seems easier to kite them and shoot with jade ripper

[cosmic igloo]

just you parry talon attack and then jump + hit

it's hitbox is kinda unclear to me

[wooden tapir]

you dont even need to jump

[cosmic igloo]

ya prolly not, i just jump to be safe

like so i hit it for sure

[wooden tapir]

yea it is pretty inconsistent, either you hit or dont even if they are low enough you should be able to hit

for me i usually drink fire resist mead just to be safe, then parry talon attacks and dodgeroll the spin attack

2-3 cycles of parrys is usually enough to kill them

[cosmic igloo]

ya same. i dont drink the fire resist tho since i found the projectiles to be so slow anyway

like u can just walk and it will miss

[wooden tapir]

slow yes, but sometimes i accidentally walk into the fire on the ground

[keen cliff]

fire resist is cheap, better to just drink it

[cosmic igloo]

fair enough

[wooden tapir]

exactly

barely and cloudberries are so abundant

it was the same with gjalls

could i fight them without it? sure, but ill still chug one just to be safe

sometimes ill even just chug one if i see a lava blob

another easy to dodge explosion, but if they do hit that burn hurts

[cosmic igloo]

bro those lava blobs dont even tickle lol

assuming u have full flametal

[wooden tapir]

do you use feather cape?

[cosmic igloo]

nah

[wooden tapir]

thats why

if you have a feather cape each tick is doing like 30-40 dmg

from those blobs

[cosmic igloo]

well id say ditch that shit anyway, theres not any high mountains like in mistlands

[wooden tapir]

there is more use than just no fall dmg

[long locust]

to be completely honest I prefer the feather cape to every other cape, even the asksvin and ashen capes

the ONLY reason I don't run it 100% of the time is because they gave it a fire weakness

[wooden tapir]

and there currently isnt a better cape, unless you are going full tank mele

like if you are going full flamemetal heavy armor and ashen cape

understandable, but every other armor set feather cape is better

[cosmic igloo]

aight

[wooden tapir]

jumping is op

[cosmic igloo]

yea i use it on mage setup

[wooden tapir]

sad to see the jump increase taken off, but still really good for jumping and getting out of tough situations

also those giant rocks all around, are really useful when fighting huge hoards, and being able to jump off them without dmg

[cosmic igloo]

u mean the flametal pillars?

[wooden tapir]

no

just the natural rocks, the ones that have weird ridges on them

enemies can climb them, but only 1 at a time

they funnel 1 by 1 up it, and if they get too close you can jump off, and then repeat the cycle

[cosmic igloo]

ah aight

[nocturne wolf]

Why not use barley wine?

[wooden tapir]

i do, im just saying without it

they hurt

[nocturne wolf]

Feather cape + lightfoot + eikthyr = 0% jump stamina

[tawny spade]

hellooo, i recently started playing Valheim on my brothers server it's been fun but i think it would be more fun if i had other friends who play and can voicechat while we play together

[long locust]

#1024264966712340510

what the fuck is my bench's problem I place it down on a GROUND LEVEL FLOOR and it shatters like glass

[gleaming musk]

wait really??

[long locust]

apparently grausten and black marble benches do not get along

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. Jumping won’t even interrupt stamina regen so you can dodge everything

[livid zenith]

Feather cape reduces jump cost?

[long locust]

yeah

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, by 20%
This was added in the ashlands update

[long locust]

yk, we've got quite a few darkwood tables and a darkwood chair, where's our darkwood benches?

[livid zenith]

Wiki doesn’t mention it so I was curious

[nocturne wolf]

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

Feather cape is a craftable Armor piece that gives 100% fall damage reduction and 20% jump cost reduction as well as limiting fall speed to 5 m/s, due to the Feather fall effect, with the common protection of resistant to frost, however it is very weak against fire.

[cosmic igloo]

i wish boss powers also had some passive effect

[livid zenith]

I only bothered checking the effects section, other capes have stamina reductions listed there

Laziness moment (from me)

[tender arch]

i just spent like 5 whole minutes chasing my own wisp

i was so confused as to why i couldnt just pick it up

[long locust]

lmao

[tender arch]

the best part is

i did this last night without realising it was my own wisp and just eventually gave up

[wooden tapir]

LMAO

sometimes i put my wisp on just to go collect sap, then forget about it, and become encumbered, and am like " bro how is this too heavy!"

[long locust]

ngl, ever since I went to ashlands I haven't even bothered equipping any mist stuff

even for my sap runs, I just deal with the mist the entire time lol, probably gonna set up some wisp torches soon

I still gotta make a dedicated portal hall at some point

[wooden tapir]

same, rn all my portals are underneath the elder platform

[long locust]

mine are all on my second floor of my house rn lol

[wooden tapir]

too many portals for that

[long locust]

I'm wondering if I'd be able to make some sort of tower at spawn for them all lol

[wooden tapir]

i have like 20 seperate portals

[long locust]

have the forsaken altars in the center of it

oh yeah, not all my portals are in this house rn lol, just the most important ones, 8 or so?

[rotund parrot]

Why?

[wooden tapir]

maybe, but you cant build very close to the altars

[wooden tapir]

to go places

[long locust]

yeah ik, was gonna see how I could get around that if at all

[rotund parrot]

I like to have 3 portals, 2 that I am using and one that is always unlinked and named backup

[wooden tapir]

i dislike renaming portals

also if im exploring, i like to go to the nearest portal if i forgot to bring a spare

[rotund parrot]

I dislike searching for the right portal amongst many of them and having to grind twice the amount of portals and not placing portals where convenient because I don't want to add yet another portal to my base

[rotund parrot]

That's exactly why there's one named backup

[vital umbra]

just add like trophies over the portals, or signs, thats not the end of the world.

[wooden tapir]

thats the point for a portal hub, and there is no searching if you just remember how u have it set up

[cosmic igloo]

3?? i have portals for everything lol, my biome specific farms, places to farm stuff like finewood, place to collect sap, boss portals, traders, and whatever else misc stuff

[vital umbra]

I always have like 25 portals at the end of a playthrough, and it is convenient too, portal hubs can look really cool, i outlined a mistlands portal with black marble etc etc...

[rotund parrot]

I just like to play as efficiently as I can

[vital umbra]

having more portals is more efficient tho

[cosmic igloo]

well having a portal to exactly what u want is efficient

[wooden tapir]

not a single of my 20 portals do i not know exactly where its placed, and have to search for the name

[rotund parrot]

I know

[vital umbra]

i have ideally one per biome, one per boss.

A main base, and whatever farm is necessary

[rotund parrot]

I usually end up with about 60 to 70 portals on the map but at my base I will only use 2

[tender arch]

how do you guys name your portals?

[vital umbra]

wdym

[rotund parrot]

I go from 1 to 70

[cosmic igloo]

just simply name what it takes u to

[wooden tapir]

i usually just name it the biome it is in, if mutliple, just add numbers

[rotund parrot]

I have way too many portals to use anything but numbers

[cosmic igloo]

"sap farm", "haldor", "fader", ...

[tender arch]

like i just name them numbers then have a notepad page that lists what they go to

[dawn solstice]

Are there any mods that allow building stuff in Troll Caves/Burial Chambers/etc.?

[vital umbra]

simple for me, meadows, eikthyr, black forest, mine, elder, trader1, trader2, trader3, swamp, bonemass, mountains, tetra cave, moder, silvermine, plains, farm, yagluth, mistlands, sap, home, spawn, ashlands, fader.

[wooden tapir]

no those are technically not part of the map so u cant build in them

i mean maybe there is a mod that allows u, but idk

those are instances that are very high in the sky not on the main map

[dawn solstice]

Sry, I mean mods that are recently updated. There are mods to do this, but they haven't been updated for Ashlands.

[tender arch]

I leave 0 at my base all the time for getting back to rest and grab food when exploring

[dawn solstice]

I did not know this.

[rotund parrot]

Reminds me of my first playthrough, I had like 40 portals at my base and they all had names like that, never going back to that mess

[vital umbra]

that seems like less of a mess than somehow remembering 1-70???

[wooden tapir]

numbers would confuse me, id never remember where they went

[vital umbra]

that actually kinda baffles me, i ain't braining that shit lol

[rotund parrot]

You mark it on the map

[vital umbra]

what a mess that'll become with all the stuff i already mark

[tender arch]

lot easier to type in a number than to remember how my dumbass named the portal

[wooden tapir]

i just keep it consitant

capital first letter, everything else lowercase

[vital umbra]

i don't understand, i think i am a dumbass for not being able to remember the number, and i find the name to be easier.

[worldly spade]

Just write it down on notes

[wooden tapir]

then add a number for multiple instances, like Mountain 3

[vital umbra]

why would i ever make notes

[rotund parrot]

How it usually goes is that you have the last 2 portals you made, let's call it 30 and 31, then if you want to keep moving forward, you change the portal named 30 to 32, take another portal, enter portal 31 and when you are ready to come back, place the portal and name it 32

[vital umbra]

🙂‍↔️

this game is seriously not that complicated that i want to use notes, i only do that for grim dawn

[worldly spade]

then don't complain LOL

[wooden tapir]

i use 1 unnamed portal for my quick access portal. it goes straight home and nowhere else

[vital umbra]

what am i complaining about and whats so egregious about it???...i have a perfectly fine system...

[worldly spade]

not u

[wooden tapir]

but its preference i suppose, id just get confused with numbers

[rotund parrot]

It's just a way to save a ton of time by never moving backward to your portal, which is a waste of time and often dangerous (unrested, it turns night or whatever) and it also save a ton of material

[worldly spade]

The ones that are like "ugh.. i cant remember all of this.. but I wont do any steps to help me remember..'

[vital umbra]

its so easy to understand that eikthyr leads to eikthyr tho...i seriously don't get it

[wooden tapir]

i mean i guess my portal could be named whatever it wouldnt matter, i know where they go by where i placed them in the portal hub

[vital umbra]

base leads to base, mine to mine, like, lol..

[wooden tapir]

i dont even read portals

[vital umbra]

whats with all this math

[tender arch]

yeah but how do you spell eikthyr

[worldly spade]

eikthyr.

[vital umbra]

🗿

[wooden tapir]

why u need an eikthyr portal?

[worldly spade]

hard 😂

[wooden tapir]

just go spawn, hes close 100% of the time

[vital umbra]

why would i not want to have one

[wooden tapir]

and if u dont have a spawn portal, then idk ur wasting time

[long locust]

I hate gjall

[worldly spade]

Why do you need an eikthyr portal if you already defeat him too

[vital umbra]

i have a spawn portal, i don't wanna walk to eikthyr tho fuck that.

[wooden tapir]

i mean

free run skill progression

[vital umbra]

i already get that in like 90% of the gameplay that there is so i actively do not want to have to run anymore

i've gotten to level 100 run by the time i hit mistlands

[wooden tapir]

until my run skill reaches 100, ill run anywhere without complaints

[vital umbra]

who says i need one, i want one.

[worldly spade]

K.

[vital umbra]

its a boss fight, i can test things, thats always fun, i like fighting things and stuff.

[rotund parrot]

How do you approach the mistlands if you want to have every portal on the map linked to one at your base?

[wintry valve]

I like how turning 0.2 pounds of flax can make 2 pounds of thread

[wooden tapir]

@rotund parrot my main thing with how u do it, i dont want to run to a portal, then look at the map, then name it where i wanna go. i just wanna run through the portal

[vital umbra]

say whatnow

[wintry valve]

I guess its on par with how using 300 pounds of black metal can make a 0.3 pound sword

[vital umbra]

make a portal at your base named mistlands and make a portal in the mistlands named mistlands 🤔

did i misinterpret something

[wintry valve]

What I do is I rename the portal at my base depending on where I want to go

[rotund parrot]

So you just have one portal and you hope to find something then run back to it?

[wooden tapir]

i dont have every portal going to my base, but i do have a portal to my base where the rest of the portals are

[vital umbra]

if i can't remember the word "mistlands" then maybe i deserve to get stranded 🤣

[wooden tapir]

my base has 3 portals total, to spawn for boss power swaps, the kitchen for food and mead cooking, and to the portal hub which is far away from my base for less instance count

[crude sparrow]

Do you have a portal for your kitchen?

[wooden tapir]

i do

[rotund parrot]

You don't have to run to it, since I have 2 I place them exactly where I have my maximum rest bonus so I automatically get that and I just reenter the last portal I made 90% of the time

[crude sparrow]

Where did you build your kitchen? xD

[wooden tapir]

in the plains, at my farm

[crude sparrow]

oh I see

[vital umbra]

i am so confused about these like meticulous systems people have conjured up for portals

[rotund parrot]

Oh man you need to go through 2 portals

[vital umbra]

i don't even have a hub, not really, unless you count my base.

[crude sparrow]

I usually create one portal to each location

[undone turret]

does rock floats in the air now?

[wooden tapir]

well i go through 5 portals consistantly

but thats just how i have my world set up

[vital umbra]

i have like 8000 cores and greydwarf eyes

[crude sparrow]

8000 cores?

[wooden tapir]

no, but you might not have dug it out enough

[wooden tapir]

surtling farms

[undone turret]

look at #valheim-help

[vital umbra]

hyperbole my man 🧡

[vital umbra]

i dont even have a farm i just loot every single crypt i find

[wooden tapir]

yea it may be still attached somewhere, the hitbox is not realative to how it actually looks, go around and see if you can hit anything

[long locust]

I must say, dundr isn't my number 1 choice for the ashlands, but god damn it feels nice to blow a seeker to pieces with it

[worldly spade]

pretty sure crypts also regenerate the loot

idk maybe im tweaking but i swear ive looted the same crypt 3 times and got surtling cores lol

[rotund parrot]

Just the mushrooms

[vital umbra]

gunna be honest the dundr....feels really, really weird and when i saw it i felt it was borderline out of place in the game lol....oh its just a straight up shotgun 👽

[worldly spade]

nah surtling cores most definitely do

[wooden tapir]

idk i havent looted a crypt since swamp

i found 2 geysers right next to eachother, go sit there for 10 min and get 30 cores

and i have probably 8000 greydwarf eyes (not exagerating, greydwarf farm op)

[rotund parrot]

Surtling cores don't even spawn in sunken crypt, about the burial chambers, the surtling cores do not respawn

[wooden tapir]

cutting trees sucks tho, but again, free woodcutting skill progression

as someone who wants to hit 100 on every skill, every boring task, turns to progression

[worldly spade]

i love cutting trees

[vital umbra]

do campfires still prevent enemy spawns??

[wooden tapir]

yea

they count as a base structure

[vital umbra]

istg i have 60 campfires around my base and i am still swarmed by greydwarves

[wooden tapir]

there may be gaps, campfires are rly hard to tell their radius

but they are scared of fire, so if u have them all lit they should stay away

lots of wood usage tho

[vital umbra]

i am at the plains in progression with run 81

ahh my computer is strange @plush umbra, according to it and according to discord you sent that message one minute in the future

[plush umbra]

oops i forgot that channel is not for text 😅

[vital umbra]

😃

[plush umbra]

dw about it, i accidentally napped into the future

[vital umbra]

thank u btw, i did not even know what soft particles did i just didn't notice any immediate difference so i shut it off

[long locust]

OH BOY, TIME TO GO ON ASHLANDS VOYAGE #3

I LOVE ASHLANDS SAILING

[wooden tapir]

are you going to a mysterious location?

[long locust]

yeah, but that's not the main reason I'm sailing

first island had no forts, second only had one, so I need more flametal

[wooden tapir]

fair

i got pretty lucky, only 3 islands in my ashlands, 2 smaller ones on the side and a massive one in the center. the first one tho did have no fortresses (one of the side ones)

[long locust]

my current plan is to go to the very edge of the boiling water and sail sideways until I'm above the mysterious location on my map

[wooden tapir]

but it allowed me to get a portal down on 2 of the 3 continents

[long locust]

then I sail down through the spikes

[wooden tapir]

good plan

[long locust]

damn I wish I brought my ice staff for once, one of the few things I use it for is dealing with serpents and bonemaws

[gray sand]

If I knew what the internal name for the spires was, I would be /forcedelete-ing the shit out of them.

[vital umbra]

thats like the general consensus....i have not seen a single person say they outright like the things 🤣

[long locust]

thankfully my second island had a fader altar so I don't need to find that again

[vital umbra]

i swear to odin...its a cool idea...the stormy seas the big spikes....but if the fucking things were just a liiiiitttle further apart so you don't get your obtusely large ship stuck so much of the time....

[wooden tapir]

i like them, i think they are a cool addition for a lategame biome

just dont like sailing around them a lot, but the initial experience is good

[vital umbra]

Yes, The very first time they were cool, After that i preferred the fly command 🤭

[wooden tapir]

i prefer to suffer if it means not cheating

[long locust]

holy SHIT bonemaws have a high spawn rate

[gray sand]

Yup.

[vital umbra]

I never cheated quite so much as when i got to the ashlands in my last playthrough, I hated corpse runs, I hated the sailing, I hated grinding for building materials, So i remedied all of those things..

I made a big ol base using up whatever building materials i had and spawning in what i didn't have enough of, That largely consisted of black marble.

[wooden tapir]

having cheated in a lot of games ( back when you needed cheat codes) ive learned that 9 times out of 10 the more annoying less easy route, usually proves to be more fun and enjoyable in the long run

[vital umbra]

I never cheated in crafting materials or food, nor resources for ships or portals or any of that

[long locust]

always bring spare crafting benches on ashlands voyages lol, can't count how many times placing one on a spire and repairing my drakkar has saved me

ironic that moder's power is helping me get to the faderland

[wooden tapir]

moder power op, doesnt last long enough tho

5 min for most powers is pretty decent, but 5 min when sailing, legit nothing

[long locust]

I wish it affected the asksvin cape too

full speed fenris + asksvin + ratatosk + 5 mins of perfect wind

[wooden tapir]

if you are lucky you will start a voyage with wind advantage, use moder when it switches (it will always switch) and hopefully ur back to advantage when it ends

most sailing trips take longer than 5 min tho so if unlucky you got 5 min of advantage, then a slog

[long locust]

I did, unfortunately it was not back to advantage

[wooden tapir]

rip

more bonemaw fighting

bonemaw meat is pretty decent food tho

same stats as the misthare meal

[long locust]

too bad I'm magemaxxing

[vital umbra]

based

[gray sand]

Bonemaws... the reason I keep Spinesnap around 🙂

[long locust]

fireball staff is surprisingly effective on them tbh

[gray sand]

Spirit Damage bow goes hard.

[long locust]

so long as you can hit your shots

[vital umbra]

i cannot for the life of me....also why i like the ice staff

[long locust]

you know, this ashlands island was actually fairly easy to dock on

I might make a port here for return trips lol, apparently 2 dvergr just cooked themselves alive in the shore

to all my mages out there, favorite forsaken power?

[shy marlin]

Queen >>

[long locust]

I've just been using queen ever since I got it, pickaxe dmg is nice utility and eitr regen is goated

[shy marlin]

Eikthyr is good too, Fader also good

[vital umbra]

ahh i'm not a mage am i allowed to coin in

[long locust]

sure

[vital umbra]

bonemass > fader > eikthyr > queen > moder > elder

[shy marlin]

for non-mage builds?

if so i could get behind that

[vital umbra]

yeahh pretty much

[long locust]

damn, I have learned the hard way that lava actually kills you, I ran across it on the past two islands because they were so small the pools never gave way to actual liquid

[vital umbra]

the lava in this game is highly ridiculous lol

flametal armour has such a laughable bonus effect

[long locust]

god I love the berserkir axes

sometimes I just don't wanna wait on my eitr, I wanna go in and rip some demons apart

[vital umbra]

they would be almost my favourite but sword and shield is bae

[long locust]

ever since getting used to dealing with no shield on the atgeir, they're a pretty decent substitute for himminafl

not as much stagger abuse, but a fuck ton of damage

[vital umbra]

well i just like swords, and i also like shields, and they just so happen to be atleast reliable in almost every tier.

[long locust]

yep, tbf the only swords I plan on using now that I've gone mage are mistwalker and dyrnwyn

[vital umbra]

i love the dyrnwyn so much 🤩

[long locust]

I like the mistwalker since it's just frostner but sword, plus it lets me not bring a wisp around, as for dyrnwyn it's gonna take me so long to get I might as well use it

I may mess with niddhog as well

[gray sand]

To be fair, at 0 skill you can still parry everything that isn't starred.
At 50 skill you can parry all 1-stars.

(Blocking with Axes in Ashlands)

[livid zenith]

With what food setup?

[gray sand]

HHS.

[fervent hemlock]

can black marble survive in ashlands

[vital umbra]

yep

[fervent hemlock]

dope

[long locust]

yep, would argue it's the best material tbh due to its immunity to elemental dmg

not that there's a whole ton of elemental dmg in the ashlands, but it's a nice bonus

[livid zenith]

With my continuous support of HHH in ashlands (not at all optimal, but I enjoy it), HHH should be able to parry most 1 star enemies in ashlands with axes and lvl 0 blocking(if I did math correctly)

[vital umbra]

i mean grausten still looks better and is easier to acquire

[long locust]

only one of those statements is true, black marble is the prettiest of the rocks

[vital umbra]

might partially depend on the look you're going for

i think it makes cozier looking places sure..

[long locust]

fair, imo black marble is more suited to fortress style builds or just strong looking builds in general, grausten is more of a lighter stone

I like my base to be imposing so my current favorite combo is ashwood, black marble, and darkwood

[vital umbra]

i like cozy

[long locust]

I will say though grausten is easily the best stone floor

[vital umbra]

as little space as possible and tacky cluttered all that stuff

[long locust]

I try to go for scary on the outside cozy on the inside, I'll put a screenshot in #building-screenshots rq

[vital umbra]

christ i am not as good as like 80% of the populace using that channel 🥶

[long locust]

lol, same tbh

I'm not bad at building but I'm not amazing either, I'd just say I'm good

ughhhh the worst part of plains basing is the random fog sometimes

[vital umbra]

I lost a ton of screenshots of my old bases in my last playthrough so i salvaged what i can #building-screenshots

[long locust]

hm, not bad

[vital umbra]

brenna trophies and bone throne are very fun

that world is still on a local save on another computer so i'll post more another time

[long locust]

not a huge fan of the bone throne tbh, prefer black marble

love brenna trophies though, put some by my charcoal kilns, hopefully I can get a rancid remains trophy and put that by the eitr refinery

[vital umbra]

well that was when the ashlands came out, nerding out over everything, even using an ashwood bed instead of dragon 😅

ohh i didn't notice that the meadows and mountains voice-chats are uncapitalised, and the black forrest has two r's

there it is

[long locust]

so who was gonna warn me the mysterious location spawns exclusively 2 star charred

[vital umbra]

me

[plush umbra]

id love to see them add a time clock to the game to tell when night ends and the day starts cuz other then the days flashing it needs something for time like the game alot

[vital umbra]

you can basically just build one, never done it because idc at all but i have seen it done

a sun-dial, otherwise a clock would not fit in the game.

[vital umbra]

did u know that the mysterious locations spawn 2 stcharreds

[long locust]

oh, yeah I found that out pretty quick

not a fun corpse run

[vital umbra]

as far as i remember 2 starred warriors even in full ashlands armour really fucking suck

[long locust]

this is why I love and hate the staff of protection

on one hand, I can survive anything with it, on the other I can only survive it once

[vital umbra]

just have more eitr 😎

i dont think you can kill yourself with blood magic

[long locust]

you can't, and I have max eitr lmao

the issue is I have to cast the bubble, then it gets shredded instantly, rinse and repeat until I die

[vital umbra]

run more better faster

oh...."i get the chills"....insert the i'm in danger meme

i also somehow just activated bonemass in an instant by dodging at the same time

holy fuck...i should be more equipped while building 😓

[languid vessel]

How does a cloudberry taste?

[vocal rivet]

Try some.

[languid vessel]

sadly the devs havent added compatibility for that depth of VR

[long locust]

whoever told me to try parrying a morgen before shooting it with the dundr, great suggestion

it lept at me when it was low and I had my barrier up, parried it, blew it to pieces

[vocal rivet]

You know they're real, right?

[languid vessel]

wait really?

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[languid vessel]

oh my god

according to google they taste like softer and less hairy raspberries

[vital umbra]

yes i've known this, i always wanted to go to norway, and cloudberries are one of the reasons why

[long locust]

I HATE fallen valkyries

[vital umbra]

y

[long locust]

was mining on a lavaiathan, bitch shows up out of nowhere, I put my shield up, still get instakilled

and I was planning to relocate my camp so my portal is down

[vital umbra]

f5 > fly 🧡

[long locust]

yeah, that's the plan

[vital umbra]

😃

[long locust]

I tried just rolling back the save but that didn't work

[rain flare]

Yeah, I’ve started leaving at least one portal nearby if I relocate
I’d rather gather enough materials to make a second portal in my new base than go through the shlep of walking/sailing the whole way back 🙈

[shadow rivet]

what is that

[rain flare]

You remember the thing that brought you to Valheim?

Imagine that but….
Messed up.

[shadow rivet]

I didnt even know it was a mob

where to find em

[copper tinsel]

b-but.... dont we all carry 2cores, 20fine and 10eyes in our kit at all times?

[long locust]

annoying flying bitch that does 5 different damage types

[vital umbra]

BRO do the greydwarves have a 300 meter detection radius?? i'm like well into the plains, building with like 50 campfires in the nearby blackforest, and they somehow still went around my base to find me....

[copper tinsel]

you touched their trees/rocks!

[vital umbra]

they evaded deathsquito lox and fuling and traveled the lands just to fucking annoy me for like 3 seconds

[long locust]

I don't understand the greydwarf hate just sneeze in their direction and they'll implode

[vital umbra]

random waste of time distraction from what i am currently doing, and now some resin and wood in my inventory that i have to deal with.

[velvet sleet]

You have to sneeze 5 times a minute, that's the most annoying

[long locust]

press V

[vital umbra]

and leave a mess around my base

[long locust]

yeah

[shadow rivet]

is that new?

[vital umbra]

wat?

[long locust]

you clean it up when you're done and drop it in the proper chests, and yes that's a new enemy in the ashlands, all phys types + fire/poison

asksvin butted me into lava how fun

[rain flare]

You don’t have to 😂
Just when you are actively planning on relocating an outpost or something like that

[long locust]

and I have no weapons or basalt bombs

[copper tinsel]

lol, i do...always. If i had a teleporter for every time i went way too far and forgot that I didnt have a teleporter... i'd have died a lot less. So it goes in my primary go-bag now, along with food.

[chilly wharf]

Man, I wish I could hit a hotkey and pull portal mats into my inventory automatically, I always forget to bring them

Hmm, I wonder...

[copper tinsel]

theres a mod for that, for sure

[chilly wharf]

Now I have to go look for one lol

[copper tinsel]

i dont like any of the auto-load/trash mods though, so i just pack a specific bag that I check a lot #screenshots message gobag #1

[rain flare]

This hurts my brain 😂
Why are you in the Ashlands without weapons?!? 🤣🤭

[rain flare]

Put all things mod related in the #mods-discussion or #mods-screenshots channels pls 🙏

[long locust]

because I died with them on me, in the middle of a lava lake

managed to snag a frost staff from a display at home, made that work so I could grab some powder for more basalt bombs

[rain flare]

Ah.
I see.
So Asksvin push was prior to losing weapons

[chilly wharf]

What do you mean when you say "bag"?

[copper tinsel]

lol, this is verboten topic

[shadow rivet]

when valheim on ps5

[chilly wharf]

in another channel maybe? Or dms?

[long locust]

yeah, asksvin push led to losing weapons

[vital umbra]

does fire resistance mead do anything with lava

[shadow rivet]

when valheim on mobile

[wooden tapir]

nope

[vital umbra]

thats a big ol fucking silly right there

[long locust]

uh, you might die .0002% slower

[wooden tapir]

even if it did, it wouldnt do much, you have like 250 max hp, and even with a fire resist mead walking into lava would surely kill you

[vital umbra]

why is lava like the most dangerous thing in this game, compared to fighting godlike creatures....

[livid zenith]

Realism

[vital umbra]

hi sildar

[rain flare]

It’s fire resistance - not resistance to taking a dip in molten magma

[vital umbra]

are the dragons realistic 🧐

[languid vessel]

Why cant we plant ashpuffs

[rain flare]

Hey 👋🥳

[languid vessel]

We can plant Yotun Puffs, so why not ashpuffs?

[rain flare]

Why can’t we plant mushroom?

[shadow rivet]

when valheim on firestick tv

[vital umbra]

what are you doing bruh

[wooden tapir]

asking the real questions

[rain flare]

Working 😂

[vital umbra]

🤫

[shadow rivet]

[languid vessel]

Exactly
we can plant the mistshrooms

[rain flare]

But not the mushroom 🍄

Same logic for berrybushes 😭

[vital umbra]

i might be fine with how lava is if there was like any way to actually dampen the effect, flametal armour lets you stand in it for what a second? maybe a whole 1.5 seconds.

[rain flare]

Yeah this isn’t minecraft
Lava would consume you real quick if you fell in it by mistake

Magic flametal gear only dampens the effect ever so slightly

[vital umbra]

why does it have to be the only unconquerable foe 😾

i can run as fast as a speeding bullet, plummet from however high i want and only take 100 damage, go days without sleeping, get hit by yagluths meteors, fight gods and armies...but not the dreaded lava...

[rain flare]

Swamp - endless rain
Mountains - freezing
Mistlands - mist
Ashlands - lava

Honourable mentions:
ocean - thunderstorms
Plains…… deathsquitos 🤣

[languid vessel]

i have a meme about deathsquitos somewhere

[vital umbra]

if lava is realistically supposed to melt you instantly then yagluths meteors should obliterate you to a fine red paste..

the logic does not coorelate for many reasons

[languid vessel]

#memes-and-clips message

[languid vessel]

also the fact that we can stand close to it without dying

[vital umbra]

good, after all the crazy supernatural shit our magical undead viking has endured its only right they can atleast manage that

[languid vessel]

i support adding proximity heat to Valheim. standing too close to lava will make you combust without fire resistance

[rain flare]

LoL! 😂🤭

[languid vessel]

i also want the deep north to be the more than just the mountains but flatter. i want blizzards that can kill you from the cold even with an insulating cape, snowdrifts that act like tar, beasts wandering the wasteland that could track you for miles, and caves being shelters to more than just yourself

[rain flare]

I mean we already have something kinda like that, but not such a big radius

OK have to pop off now - cherio fellow vikings!
SKAL!

[languid vessel]

[rain flare]

[vital umbra]

bye bye

[tacit crystal]

Afaik it grows in every Northern country, we have them in Finland too.

And they usually grow in swampier areas IRL.

[wintry valve]

Does a tamed lox get aggressive with untamed loxes?

[vital umbra]

bruhh its so ridiculous the stupid shit people say about the valkyrie that drops you off 🤣

i think asmongold said it was odin...and i just saw someone call it hugin..

[hollow star]

would you even actually fall into lava? I thought it was too thick to actually immediately fall into so you'd kind of burn on top of it

[wintry valve]

you mean in real life?

[hollow star]

yea, if we're talking realism :V

[tacit crystal]

No, same species don't attack each other, tamed or not.

[wintry valve]

Assuming you dont roast yourself by being close to it in the first place, or suffocate, I read something funny about it once. The water in your body would evaporate so quickly that your flesh would essentially "explode" on point of contact. Otherwise you wouldnt sink in much

Cuz lava is dense. Much more so than you.

[vital umbra]

why is there no snapping with planting crops

[merry pebble]

So you have to actually care about where you plant them 🙂

[vital umbra]

well yeah but i wish they could atleast snap off of eachother

[merry pebble]

Why? Its already so easy to space them 🤷‍♂️

[vital umbra]

wdym

[merry pebble]

Once you plant anything like 2-3 times you should be able to tell pretty precisely where there is enough space to plant another crop

[vital umbra]

...well yeah i know exactly where...but i don't want to have to be meticulous, i'm trying to be efficient with this stuff..

[merry pebble]

Planting efficiently is also quite easy, you make one line by just going sideways using "walk" and click at certain interval, preferably one that maximizes the ammount you can plant, do not move your mouse during that or after, then just use wsad to possition a bit backwards to a distance for another line of crops and repete. Now you are making evenly spaced lines of crops 🙂

[hollow star]

there are mods that give you more crop placement options

[merry pebble]

Bleh, mods...

[hollow star]

some of them are good, like the one that actually lets me plant mushrooms and berry bushes :V

[vital umbra]

i am almost entirely against mods....but once theres no more content being added to valheim i won't feel so guilty....if i don't see armour slots or bears by 1.0 then i am going to see them with mods 😤

[hollow star]

why would adding mods while it's still in development make you feel guilty

[vital umbra]

i didn't say guilty now did i

i did...i'm tired...

🗣️

wrong word to use, basically i do not want to.

[wintry valve]

This game should feature tameable dinosaur raptor that can be mounted and allow us to fight using ranged weapons or spears.

I think it would be metal.

[merry pebble]

The what?

[vital umbra]

ak-47s too of course right?

[merry pebble]

I feel there was this convo before xD

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

FTFY: I think it would be mental.

[wintry valve]

Why?

[vital umbra]

this is not ark survival evolved

[opal prairie]

Dinosaurs in a viking game they are like a few million years apart.

[vital umbra]

we have askvin anyways

[wintry valve]

Can you tell me when did goblins, trolls, and gjall existed in history?

[vital umbra]

there is some level of disconnect occuring

and where the dinosaurs at in the lord of the rings, thematic difference.

[wintry valve]

No im just kind of annoyed at someone telling me it doesnt make sense because they didnt exist in the same era when we have so much fantasy stuff going on already.

[opal prairie]

Folklore around the viking days.
There was no dinosaur folklore in those days.

[vital umbra]

most fantasy stuff does not come from the same era that dinosaurs do

[wintry valve]

FINE, tameable dragons then.

[vital umbra]

even anything coming from like old pagan or biblical stories are within the range of tens of thousands of years compared to the millions of years basically

probably not dragons, askvins are like dinosaurs anyways.

[wintry valve]

Yeah ill be honest I havent got to the ashlands yet so I dont know what to expect.

[opal prairie]

You'll need mods for a flyable mount if you want that, it won't be coming to the vanilla game.

[vital umbra]

why you discussing what the game should have then man 😭...i just spoiled something for you, finish it and then talk about what you think should be added..🎃

[wintry valve]

I mean Im almost there. I just need to kill a big bug and at the rate im not trying, its going to take a while

[vital umbra]

use magic to do easier faster gooder stuff with that horrible boss

[wintry valve]

I tried and quickly got tired

[vital umbra]

well thats the least tiresome method

[fluid hamlet]

Good morning Valheim

[vital umbra]

bruh starred fenrings are kinda scary

[cosmic igloo]

holy fuck i just found a spawner in ashlands with like 6x 2 star mobs nearby it, including warlock. thank god for trollstav

[merry pebble]

Look carefully around there 😉

[cosmic igloo]

there was just some building nearby with 4x cores

[merry pebble]

There should be something in the middle of those 🙂 disregard this

[cosmic igloo]

oh wait, theres a place to enter :O

[merry pebble]

Ooooh, its that one 😄 have fun

[cosmic igloo]

ty

gg just bullied him with tentacles xD

[merry pebble]

Poor lord Reto 😄

[vital umbra]

tmi 🤭

[cosmic igloo]

lmao

[rain flare]

You bullied him with leaves? 😂
I dropped trolls on him before the dev’s patched it 🤭

[rain flare]

Mages are just so OP 🥰

[cosmic igloo]

yea because of wild staff and trollstav

[tacit crystal]

In the power of nature!

[cosmic igloo]

i wish embers and frost staff was a bit stronger

[opal prairie]

I like were embers staff is the frost could use a tune up.

[tacit crystal]

Ember is quite strong as it is now.

[cosmic igloo]

aight i guess its just relatively weak in ashlands

[rotund parrot]

Yeah with the AOE but frost staff is still your best pick for single target damage but it is still underwhelming damage compared to melee but at least it slows down enemies so it's fine

[cosmic igloo]

ya i also play melee and comparatively the dmg is rly low..

[opal prairie]

Correct the staffs in ashland do surpass it but that is normal.
Still a good staff to start the ashlands with.

[cosmic igloo]

as i said only thing that makes mage as good as melee, is the summoning stuff such as trollstav and wild staff

[merry pebble]

It is a staff from previous biome and it is FIRE staff 😄

[cosmic igloo]

yep

mistwalker is also a prev biome weap tho and id say it does better than the staffs

but ya its a fire staff

in a fire resistant biome

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword does more damage to charred and has a lower stamina cost

[cosmic igloo]

ya i like the slow tho

but anyway i wasnt saying it's the best prev biome melee weap or anything like that. just said the excuse for embers staff being a prev biome weap isnt enough

[rain flare]

Each stave has it’s uses
Embers for Big Bang
Frost for trickle damage and training elemental magic
Skellie skull = less useful Trollstav substitute 🤭
Bubble shield - your best friend 🫧
Dundr - shotgun for getting things out of your face 😂
Wild stick - more slapstick comedy 🎭
Fractured twig - throws lava blobs (try and get them all in one place)
Trolstave - angry frenemy

[cosmic igloo]

havent tried dundr actually

[nocturne wolf]

Parry a morgen then use dundr

[cosmic igloo]

oh right u can parry with staffs

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need a staff of protection bubble or you probably won’t have enough health. With the bubble you take 0 stagger so you can parry any blockable attack

[cosmic igloo]

aight

[nocturne wolf]

Just make sure you aren’t immediately hit by something else as it could break your bubble

[rain flare]

Morgen did this to me recently 😂

Was not happy 🤭
So many skills went poof

[nocturne wolf]

That’s just an opportunity for more skill

[tacit crystal]

Fracturing might be underwhelming in fire biome but might probably shine more in Deep North.

It has quite good single target damage against larger enemies. Against groups not so good.

[random kayak]

Ah yes... A swamp that doesn't have a dungeon

[wide topaz]

New to the game, had a couple weeks playing with some friends. We've gone from Meadows to Mistlands and died every step of the way. 🙂 Grateful for the game, it's super good. And even more grateful considering the price point. And even still more grateful that I own the game and the data for our world, rather than having it held ransom 🙂

Only one major flaw: Can't pet Hugin. Unacceptable.

[random kayak]

Valid reason

[cosmic igloo]

lmfao sailing between 1 ashland island to the next is hilariously difficult

and with the slow drakkar boat

i dont even know if its reasonably possible actually

[opal prairie]

Luckily there are spires in the water that you can crash your boat against, set up a repair shop and fix the boat if needed, you can also fight your enemies from those spires and not have them damage your boat.

[cosmic igloo]

its the spires that are annoying

[opal prairie]

Absolutely but not really dangerous.

[cosmic igloo]

ya i didnt say dangerous

just they are so much in the way that it's near impossible with this fat boat

and add to that the annoying waves

[opal prairie]

Yeah, you really need to find those narrow passages or do some terraforming.

[random kayak]

60% of my deaths are from the swamp getting ganked by an abomination and dreugr

Death 7

[copper raptor]

best weapon to upgrade to once i get silver?

also is it worth keeping the root harnesk for the plains on top of like wolf armor or do i get the full wolf armor

[plush umbra]

Guys never give up when you are in the ashlands

[pliant hatch]

Frostner. Without doubt for me.
Draugr Fang is also a "must craft" for me.

[plush umbra]

I keep it all the way untill misstalandis

[copper raptor]

so keep the harnesk and the rest upgrade to wolf?

[pliant hatch]

Might as well upgrade parts to the Fenris and use that for the speed bonus.

[plush umbra]

Hell yeah 👍

The seekers do pierce I think

[cosmic igloo]

nah go silver chest. theres too many fire fulings in plains, attacking camps will be a pain

[copper raptor]

yeah thats the problem but also deathsquitos catch you off guard lol

[cosmic igloo]

mosquitos are fine if u have upgraded silver gear

and ya frostner + fang spear is rly good

frostner if you're getting ganged up on, fang spear otherwise

[copper raptor]

i like the waraxe due to the huge block power but yeah it consumes lots of stamina

might have to change up

[cosmic igloo]

ah i dont play 2h (except atgeir). shield too op

[copper raptor]

yeah but parry with waraxe is also op only problem is its slow

[upbeat crypt]

• Crafting skill no longer provides bonus yield on armour and weapons" :(((((((

[pallid yoke]

Huh?

[pallid yoke]

Is frostner any good? I know it's the best weapon against bonemass

[cosmic igloo]

ya id say its the best weap in the game

you can even use it in ashlands

[tacit crystal]

It is in Public Test branch, comes live later when tested enough. After it comes live you cannot get bonus yields of armor and weapons anymore.

[cosmic igloo]

not a huge impact for solo players tbh

[tacit crystal]

One of the best, very usable during 3 biomes after Mountain.

[random kayak]

What's your Vikings name

[cosmic igloo]

puck

[merry pebble]

True but the mistwalker takes over in there 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[hollow hinge]

is there a dev command for gathering items dropped nearby?

[vocal rivet]

Removedrops

[tacit crystal]

It's a better option for offence, but Frostner works better as defensive/crowd control option than Mistwalker.

[opal prairie]

That removes, doesn't gather.

[opal prairie]

Nope, you can get rid of them with removedrops as Derek states but gathering is like you normally would.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I misread that, yeah, it'll just delete them.

[upbeat crypt]

So what's the point of crafting skill then

[spiral dagger]

"crafting speed, hammer wear, and stamina use"

[odd helm]

Mind that the crafting yield change only affects armor pieces and weapons not being duplicated anymore

Stuff like arrows should still give bonus yields when triggered

[upbeat crypt]

I've never had stamina issues when building or crafting. Seems moot

I resent archery :/

[odd helm]

:c

[cosmic igloo]

i run out of stamina sometimes when destroying stuff but ya seems pretty useless

[sly hare]

I thought I read somewhere that crafting skill also allow to repair multiple building pieces somewhere

[cosmic igloo]

imo it should be something like "chance to increase crafted item's stats by 5%"

[upbeat crypt]

none of these "feel" good though

also what are the odds of us ever getting a "cook all" button

[cosmic igloo]

would be nice

[sly hare]

Also after the update it means it's impossible to get level 100 on cooking right

[sly hare]

Suggestion server, seems like a good idea tbh

[spiral dagger]

just be thankful they didnt do something dumb with the new skills, like "to craft mistwalker you require lvl 60 crafting"

[upbeat crypt]

1000% this was suggested dozens of times already

the death penalty keeps getting worse with more and more non-combat skills being added too

[cosmic igloo]

ugh ya holy shit that would suck

[sly hare]

Let me make it worst, need a certain weapon skill to use certain weapon

Like need lvl 60 on sword to use mistwalker

[upbeat crypt]

this is funny. I do professional B2B software development, and if our customers were talking about our software like this, we'd probably get fired

[odd helm]

Mistwalker is iron tho, not mithril

[spiral dagger]

yeah I would quit valheim tbh

[spiral dagger]

this is standard gamer talk. gamers been complaining about the games they play since 1990

[upbeat crypt]

yeah it still shows the difference between the two types of software

[cosmic igloo]

does the summoned troll aggro dverg on me?

[plush umbra]

What is ur favorite weapon to use :3c

[upbeat crypt]

give me a weapon and I will fight with it.

[nocturne wolf]

I like swords or maces depending on the situation

[odd helm]

Bows before Mistlands, then crossbows and magic after~

[plush umbra]

no close combat?

[odd helm]

Some, usually knives~

[nocturne wolf]

I only use a bow for drakes, gjalls and fuling shamans

[plush umbra]

yay W

[upbeat crypt]

many people are so dependant on their bow, the game would be over for them if they ever added an enemy you can't just shoot

I believe more trolls have been killed with crude bows than with all other meadow weapons combined

[buoyant hearth]

why does dundr need blood gem makes no sense

[tiny tiger]

Tier lock to the fortressses

[nocturne wolf]

An iolite would be more appropriate

[merry pebble]

I think the question was more about why blood stone specificaly 🙂

[tiny tiger]

Iolite is more rare right

[merry pebble]

no

[nocturne wolf]

They're all the same

[tiny tiger]

Must just be luck then from the footage I’ve seen bloodstone seems most common

[nocturne wolf]

That's because it's random

[tiny tiger]

Right

[merry pebble]

all stones have the same chance of appearing, but after that its pure RNG

[cosmic igloo]

lmao its so funny to drop trolls into fortresses and then afterwards just basically collecting loot

[opal prairie]

Knives, bows and magic and I do like to dabble with the berserker axes and root bow.

[opal prairie]

Indeed, build stairs high enough and throw trolls and vines in there.

[cosmic igloo]

i found you can just summon trolls from outside

you have to aim at the inner corner of the pillars at the top of the walls

and they land inside

[opal prairie]

True but you can't get vines in that way.

[cosmic igloo]

ya its all good tho, 2 trolls just clear :D

[opal prairie]

Unless there is a 2 star warlock there then it takes a couple more.

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[opal prairie]

They are devastating.

[kind pendant]

Morgen gjall

[dark dirge]

whats the best weapon type for newbies?

[smoky obsidian]

swords

[hidden gorge]

no, clubs

[cosmic igloo]

lol the fader fight is completely pathetic with the trollstav, just keep summoning trolls and watch from a distance lol...

[dark dirge]

so its either club or sword

[nocturne wolf]

Whatever the player is most comfortable using is best

[kind pendant]

Guys, now with the new patch, with no extra yeilds for weapons, does it upgrade the armor/weapon instead?

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-public-test for public test questions
||There's no upgrade. Equipment is not affected by luck now||

[kind pendant]

Mb I didn’t know, but ty!

[cosmic igloo]

club and get flint spear asap

you can even upgrade those and use them in swamp

(another biome with higher difficulty)

[dark dirge]

thanks

[cosmic igloo]

use club against skeletons and spear against other stuff

[sly quail]

what!? spoiler 😭

[dark dirge]

is there a way to increase inventory space?

[livid zenith]

No

[merry pebble]

Nope, but you can increase how much weight you can carry 🙂

[dark dirge]

how about weight

[odd helm]

Inventory weight capacity yes, but not inventory slots

[dark dirge]

how

[merry pebble]

You need to find trader in black forest 🙂

[dark dirge]

ahhhh

[steel mica]

curious do they plan to fix the inventory issues like adding armor slots and utility slots for items like the meging jord

[nocturne wolf]

No armor slots isn't an issue

[steel mica]

hm

[merry pebble]

They dont need to fix anything since there is nothing to fix 🙂

[steel mica]

but do they plan to do anything with the inventory system or just keep it as it is till a better idea comes around

[nocturne wolf]

The developers haven't said anything about making changes to the inventory

[opal prairie]

Every weapon has it ups and downs I would try them all at least for a while and find what you are comfortable with.
Clubs are good overall and shine in the swamp.
Knives are fast and have a lunge attack (also do 6*backstab damage).
Swords are universally good.
Axes double as tool for woodcutting.
spears are a fast jab and can be thrown (you can lose your spear though).
Atgeirs have a wide range and are master in crowd control.
Bows are good for ranged and hunting.

[steel mica]

armor slots would be nice

[nocturne wolf]

What's wrong with slots that can hold anything and allow the player to organise the inventory the way they want to?

[steel mica]

i just want that 3 extra space ive had my moments where i have to do 2 trips or drop other resources just to take that one resource

[opal prairie]

We've all been there. I learned to do dedicated trips and not carry anything I'm not going to use.

[steel mica]

not me carrying 3 antler pickaxes in the swamp

[merry pebble]

I believe smiffe said that they could remove the number of slots needed for armor and the extra item (belt, wisplight,...) from the main inventory and put them separately if we would really like that 🙂 and they could only hold those specific items. Imo the way it is now works way better

[opal prairie]

I never carry my hoe, pickaxe, axe all at the same time.

[steel mica]

i do

especially in the mountains

[rotund parrot]

The inventory would be uneven though! Can't have that

[merry pebble]

I do too, and still no problems with inventory

[steel mica]

not me carrying 3 damn antler pickaxes

in the swamp

[spiral dagger]

i never carry a hoe unless im clearing some land for a building

[livid zenith]

Carry one pic and 12-14 wood for infinite repairs

[rocky widget]

hoe, axe, hammer and pickaxe always come with when traveling, no buts

[merry pebble]

You dont need to carry them in there all the time, just when you go mining

[opal prairie]

I find a crypt, set a portal and a chest up at the front, go back to base, grab the pickaxes, drop the 2 extra in the chest and go grave robbing.

[steel mica]

i did change and just take 2 instead of 3

[merry pebble]

You do you, i also take 3 to swamps

[livid zenith]

What’s the hoe for? How often do you run into emergency ground raising situations

[steel mica]

the hoe i always have on hand no matter what

[opal prairie]

Don't forget the stone you would need to carry with you to do that.

[rotund parrot]

I take one, it will be enough to get enough iron for an iron pickaxe and then you can just leave that antler pickaxe somewhere to make sure you never waste any more time with it

[rocky widget]

its more about having a quick access to flat ground for building

[opal prairie]

If I find a spot I want to build at, I put a portal down and I'll go and get the hoe then.

[livid zenith]

But wouldn’t you only need that in base? Quick workbenches and portals don’t need ground flattening

[rocky widget]

i often build a quick little hut and prefer it to be on flat ground. sure, sometime i might not actually need to, but i want to

[livid zenith]

Interesting

[rocky widget]

all my portals across the world get their little hut

[livid zenith]

I wish I wasn’t too lazy to do that, most of my portals go onto rocks or in trees

[rotund parrot]

Efficient*

[steel mica]

imagine if you set the portal high up

[rocky widget]

i usually build a larger hub per land mass thats somewhat worth connecting and put all portals of said continent in there, then connect it to the main hub on my home continent

[opal prairie]

I have either a portal chain, means 2 portals at a location, one coming in and the other going out to the next portal in the chain, I only spent a short amount of time there, to just grab resources and be out again, so those portals don't need any protection.
Other portals are at bases and they get a room, a portal hub so to speak.
Most of the time I have 2 portal hubs, one remotely that contains portals to in frequently visited places, like abandoned forward bases and boss spots.
I'll also have a portal hub at main base that contains the portals I frequently use, the resource chains, the farming bases, the exploring portal, ...

[steel mica]

@merry pebble the seed you gave me is absolutely goated tbh

[merry pebble]

Glad it is good 😄

[opal prairie]

Tell us more about Asatru's seed. ;p

[rocky widget]

ok i gotta ask

[plush umbra]

[rocky widget]

what is up with the flowers?

[opal prairie]

Long story short: At the start of spring a developer went nuts.

[rocky widget]

was it smiffe?

[vocal rivet]

Hardly nuts. People asked, he delivered.

[steel mica]

going east you find haldor and a small patch of swamp with a geyser possibly good base since it is very open with alot of abandon villages nearby for resources and maybe one or two queen bees
going west of the sea youll find a big swamp which is where i am currently at gathering iron scraps
going northwest'ish you find the elder with 2 draugr villages

[opal prairie]

How did you guess.

[steel mica]

haldor is a bit far

[rocky widget]

cause its somehow always smiffe

[steel mica]

but is the closest haldor

[rocky widget]

besides, look at smiffes status

[opal prairie]

Spitting facts.

[silver oracle]

i killed my first serpent

[rocky widget]

did you lure it to land to get all the good loot?

[opal prairie]

See gjall tomorrow I'm going home, make pita, household, put kids to bed and play fortnite, project diablo 2 and potter around in Valheim a bit.

[silver oracle]

Yep, i did

[rocky widget]

nice

[silver oracle]

i got serpent scales and meat, what does that do

[rocky widget]

the scales can be crafted into a shield and the meat cooked on a hook, gives a decent bonus

the big catch is the trophy tho if you can get it

[nocturne wolf]

The serpent scale shield is a tower shield with faster movespeed than most others, and has a pierce resistance

[silver oracle]

the serpent appeared on a storm, literally was fighting for my life

it felt so cinematic like god damn

[opal prairie]

The meat can also made into a stew later on.

[rocky widget]

ah yes serpent stew

[light moat]

Ah, so you requested red flowers around your name?

[random kayak]

is an iron sword level 1 better than a level 3 bronze sword?

[rotund parrot]

Yes

[opal prairie]

Like Evo says yes, only lvl 4 might be on par with iron lvl 1.

[leaden elbow]

My sister kinda died and then we closed our games forcefully hoping it wont save her death (cus it was a really fucking dumb death) but then it didnt save the world and me but her pc saved her death and now theres no grave and shes lost all our items.
any way we can get the crucial items back?

the console doesnt do anything for some reason, just ignoring the command

[tacit crystal]

Do you have "-console" enabled on properties on Steam?

[leaden elbow]

yeah no shit

its just ignoring and erroring out in the bepinex unity log

[opal prairie]

Did you turn on the console? You need to enable the console before you start the game. Once that is done you can go in the game and open the console.

[tacit crystal]

F5 and type devcommands first

[leaden elbow]

i didnt do the devcommands part

my deaths arent saved if i forcefully end task, why did her client save her death anyway

if i get the items back ill still be able to save my game, right? no anti-cheating thing here, right???

(a lot of games have that so then you cant even fix stuff)

[tacit crystal]

You can still save your game.

Using console commands adds "Cheater" tag when you type /stats but that doesn't matter.

[leaden elbow]

its ignoring devcommands

[warm depot]

I saw new patchnotes, feathers cape changes should be there if not I declare war

[leaden elbow]

aaaand game just crashed

[random kayak]

Wait are there any good recipes with fish?

[opal prairie]

Yes.

[tacit crystal]

Cooked fish is required to Fish Wraps. Anglerfish is required to Fish 'n' Bread.

[rotund parrot]

Yes, a really good feast that can be unlocked as soon as you have iron and later on a wrap that is pretty good but needs a lot of fish
