valheim-chat

[tepid prawn]

Yeah is not too bad for a fast build

Fire wine easy to make

[cobalt canyon]

I've only managed on 3x resources, but I did scrounge a full set from a single cave

[nimble aurora]

yeah but this is before ive got access to it

after ive got fire res yeah cultists are easy

[tepid prawn]

Just need barley and clouds can yeet them from plains very early

Grow in a safe spawnproofed spot etc

[nimble aurora]

ik, but i never go to that much troubke

[cobalt canyon]

It was....a bit to upgrade it though #screenshots message

[nimble aurora]

all the wolf fur is the kicker for me, so many wolves

[tepid prawn]

If you’re on a server someone will have a wolf farm

I m cutting down on solo play after about 1500h + solo and getting more server play done now up to 2400h total

Running own server now etc that helps to do that

[nimble aurora]

my friends hate this game 🥲

[tepid prawn]

Also ASHLANDS new favourite biome

[nimble aurora]

ashlands is the goat

[tepid prawn]

Was swamp previously

[nimble aurora]

best atmosphere, progression, enemies, boss and music

nothing trumps ashlands

[cobalt canyon]

Had to kill a bonemaw, 6 charred, and 3 voltures before I even put down my first workbench in that place

[nimble aurora]

that very first time sailing there and u hear that music 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[nimble aurora]

lowkey u got lucky with only one bonemaw

i had 4 on my first trip, 2 at once as well

[cobalt canyon]

Anybody else wish the drak had an onboard ballista?

(Or 4)

[nimble aurora]

ill raise you

anybody else wish the ballista was worth crafting?

[tepid prawn]

I had 3 bonemaw

Just recently I made my way to Ashlands with the longship for the first time

[nimble aurora]

tbf if u have a decent bow skill and frost arrows theyre pretty easy

[tepid prawn]

It’s a beautiful decoration for a fortress 🤣

[nimble aurora]

my mate tried it with a karve and got destroyed

he literally quit after that

[tepid prawn]

I lost the ship too but managed a landing

[nimble aurora]

even tho i told him he needed a new boat

[tepid prawn]

And then everyone on the server used my portals haha

I’m still deciding if I should build new fortress in next run in mistless Mistlands or Ashlands

Also sometimes build a base in every biome

[cobalt canyon]

Commandeered charred fortress is nice

[tepid prawn]

Yeah but too small for a proper main that’s not crowded and has tames and several buildings

[cobalt canyon]

Use it as the keep

[tepid prawn]

My biggest base has 15iah different buildings

[silver oracle]

how do i make a longboat? i don't have the recipe

oh fuck

[nimble aurora]

you need iron nails

[silver oracle]

i just realized i left the ancient bark

[nimble aurora]

that too yes haha

[silver oracle]

oh shit i have serpent scales i can make a serpent scale shield

[nimble aurora]

just found a troll cave in meadows lmao

[eternal blade]

Damn, wish I was recording this. Was sailing at full speed along plains, deathsquito comes and somehow gets smacked by my longship's stern ornament and dies....

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, boats and moving objects in general do dmg 😄 and deathsquitos have REAL low hp

[eternal blade]

first time I saw that though, squito swatted by a ship

[random kayak]

genuienly stressed i can't find BW

[eternal blade]

you can always put the seed in the online world viewer

[random kayak]

i rather not

[eternal blade]

okay, your choice

[silver oracle]

i have 30 hours on valheim

the equivalent of spending 3 hours on valheim

[gray sand]

Could give me the seed and I'll look and provide you a general spoiler-free hint as to what direction she is in 🤔

[random kayak]

okie but i'll look at my 16th swamp incase shes here

[cosmic igloo]

i wish i could hire ppl to do stuff like chopping wood for me

and in exchange i give them smth they need, like trade works in other multiplayer games

[random kayak]

chop chop[

[eager compass]

so this is the server

i am alone no longer

[random kayak]

18th swamp i think I'm going to glorp myself

[rocky widget]

@misty frost im afraid you got whooshed my friend

[misty frost]

?

[random kayak]

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL I FOUND BW

[eager compass]

shweet

[gray sand]

You found BioWare? 😉😏

[rocky widget]

i am fully aware of what the root armor is, i was just making a joke about how that root has an ancient armor in it. this is from the mistlands

[random kayak]

she looks so cool wth

[lusty dirge]

In my experience, larger swamps (not just thin strips between bf/plains and ocean) are hard to find and bw probably only spawns in those.
Also took me a long time and many swamps to find her...

[plush umbra]

she can spawn in any swamp, but more swamp land of course gives her more chances for a location

[random kayak]

she spawned like 5000m away

[lusty dirge]

Does she not need like a min size? In those thin strips you also never find crypts.
Plus I think she needs to be at least 3000m from the world center

[random kayak]

yeh 3km

[plush umbra]

that's distance, not swamp size

i'm pretty sure that's because pois are placed based on the original height of the terrain before it became a swamp, and some can generate lower than others, but also not all tiny swamps were originally below sea level

here's a pretty tiny one with a bog witch, even close to the shore

[random kayak]

Winter can i ping you my map in #valheim-help ?

[plush umbra]

sure~

[random kayak]

Thankies!!!! :3

[merry pebble]

Oh the size of a swamp is not always a factor of what can spawn there 😄 #screenshots message

[plush umbra]

pfff been a while since i've last seen an underwater crypt

[lusty dirge]

Now i wonder how many crypts i missed 😭

[plush umbra]

oh underwater ones are not common at all, don't worry about it

[merry pebble]

What baffles me is the underwater geysir 😄

[plush umbra]

how did i miss that

[merry pebble]

It is like properly 4-5 meters under the surface xD

[lusty dirge]

I once found a lone geysir 50-100m from a swamp in bf. Was a great base location with free coal.

[rocky widget]

coal? i'd be more stoked about the cores

imagine trying to catch your own wisp light at a wisp fountain. couldnt be me (it was me)

[lusty dirge]

Meh, my core needs are usually satisfied pretty quickly.

[rocky widget]

how? with all the portals im setting up i can never have enough cores

[tepid prawn]

so you don't use them as fireworks then? xP

[gray sand]

How many are you possibly needing?

[rocky widget]

uh....many?

[gray sand]

How?

I can think of... 20, maximum.

I don't think I would ever have a "Swamp2"

Because after clearing all crypts in "Swamp", I have no reason to return.
Portal deleted and moved to next "Swamp".

Repeat cycle as needed.

[lusty dirge]

I have had worlds with 90+ portals and yet, the cores have never been a problem

[tepid prawn]

I currently am close to 50 in current playthrough, I have a portal addiction...

[gray sand]

Stones - for returning heads and swapping buffs.
One per boss (8).
One per current biome being farmed (7).
Home.
Oh Shit backup portal.
Remote farms if needed (2).
One per trader (3).

So that's... 23?

[lusty dirge]

Thats 100 cores, you can get that many while in the swamps for mining iron

[tepid prawn]

Some for mines where you want to go back to get Jelly etc, (lets say 6+) then Surtling Spawner Portals, one for each biome base +7, 4 miniboss portals, fortress portals +6 min, Tetra portal, Remote animal farms potentially like a tomb chickens or island boars... so much more

[tepid prawn]

50 pairs so 200 cores

I always have a location with min 2 surt spawners though as a place I visit and use them for fireworks too so I m never short

[gray sand]

Gems don't respawn so why would you need Fortress portals?

[wind ridge]

sup yall

[rocky widget]

well i have a portal hub on the main land where my base is. this connects to:
the first of each boss i find
all other continents i have uncovered. (these in turn get their own portal hub for fast travel within that continent)
important locations like merchants, quest areas
farms (surtling, plains farm, mist farm etc.)
friends bases

[tepid prawn]

safehouses for exploring and corpserus

[gray sand]

Portal Hub? You mean "Home" portal that you just rename to wherever you want to go because Portal Hubs are pointless?

[tepid prawn]

and yeah this is on a server so friend base portals too

[rocky widget]

i dont wanna deal with that renaming stuff

[gray sand]

🙄

[tepid prawn]

I hate the renaming, love to have most of them up 100%

[wind ridge]

yea but portal hubs are cool

[gray sand]

Typing letters saving you hundreds of Cores is too much effort... ok 👍

[rocky widget]

imagine more than one person living in your base using the renaming portal system

[tepid prawn]

yes, the cores are easy to get with surt farms

[wind ridge]

it aint about the effort it's about the coolnes, also if you're bored

[tepid prawn]

Portal hub is also an escuse to do more building

[rocky widget]

i absolutely couldnt when i lived with a friend who did the renaming thing

[gray sand]

Yes. But their complaint was about getting Cores. So "easy to get" or "not an issue" are both off the table given the complaint.

[tepid prawn]

Like I even build a beerhall in one world

[gray sand]

Scroll the beginning for context if going to comment 😉

[wind ridge]

aight

[rocky widget]

i wasnt complaining about getting cores, i have surtling farms. i was just flabbergasted at how someone could do with so little cores

[tepid prawn]

If someone has trouble getting cores I will deliver them a wooden chest worth to their world if they host 🙂

[gray sand]

Hi.

[tepid prawn]

Love swamp treehouses with surt farm

[rocky widget]

yes, but that doesnt mean i lack cores. jsut that i can always use more.

i currently have roughly 400

[random kayak]

do feasts have 10 uses even if its in the inv?

[gray sand]

If you're not lacking, that inherently means you have enough.

[tepid prawn]

and if anyone hasn't done that please make a fire outside and "use" surt core on that fire 🙂

[rocky widget]

thats a semantic i do not agree with

[tepid prawn]

you can't eat it from inv

[wind ridge]

Does anyone know any public hosting servers here? Thats why i came here anyways

[gray sand]

That's a definitive argument that doesn't care if you agree or not.
Welcome to today's edition of "How Words Work."

[gray sand]

#dedicated-server

[wind ridge]

EU specifically

[random kayak]

oh

[tepid prawn]

there isn't any "public" you have to talk to people and get invited if you fit etc #1024264966712340510

[tepid prawn]

has to be placed and then eaten at home, so not great for no portal no map worlds I guess

[rocky widget]

language can be a fickle thing, but I'll leave it at that, back to building more portals

[gray sand]

Imagine if you could "place" them in a cart 😁

[tepid prawn]

also english is server language, some people don't have it as their first language me included

[tepid prawn]

or the new ship 🙂 it is almost big enough for that haha

[gray sand]

I mean. Raft is big enough to put a couple feasts on tbh.

[wind ridge]

what are feasts?

[tepid prawn]

no, you gonna accidentally step on it and get lox poo or slime or whatnot on it...

[tepid prawn]

a new version of food unlocked by finding a new trader introduced in a very recent patch / update

[wind ridge]

the bog witch? Does she also give out quests which reward us with feasts?

[tacit crystal]

New foods that you place on table and eat from the table. They have 10 portions to eat. They have balanced stats and last 50mins.

[tepid prawn]

yes bog witch, no quests just sells stuff

[wind ridge]

can you buy more of the foods or just once?

[tepid prawn]

can buy as many as you have gold, the ingredients for the new foods (need bog witch purchasable stuff and other normal ingredients too)

[tacit crystal]

You can buy ingredients from the Bog Witch which you use to make the feast items.

[wind ridge]

Well thats nice, i saw some pics

[tepid prawn]

I think all 3 traders don't have limits on how much you buy of anything, just limited by your gold

[tacit crystal]

Yeah they look absolutely delicious.

[wind ridge]

Where does it all come from anyways?

[tepid prawn]

Learn Dvergr language and ask them, and also the language the Bog Witch speaks then you can find out (JOKING, we don't know but for Dvergrs I think the lore is they can travel somehow sometimes between Valheim and another realm)

someone correct me if I m wrong about that Dvergr stuff

[wind ridge]

but haldor is a dwarf (too short for one, though)

[tacit crystal]

They uh, have their ways.

[tepid prawn]

and the witch is not a Dvergr

Dwarf / Dvergr maybe same thing I dunno

[wind ridge]

i think i heard him say at some moment that he hates mining, and that he luckily came from a familly of enterpreneurs

so, a trader dwarf

[tepid prawn]

its a fair point to ask where their stuff is coming from, like Haldor sells those chicken eggs etc that are also in the tower.... all 3 traders are a bit strange thats why I'm playing less solo with just them and tames and now play with actual vikings on server a bit more haha to get that social interaction, just getting it from Haldor Hildir and Bog Witch is suboptimal!

[wind ridge]

you can find the eggs in the quest tower?

[tepid prawn]

yep, and don't need 3k gold

[tacit crystal]

The Sealed Tower yes.

[wind ridge]

what are the requirements to go to that tower anyways?

[tepid prawn]

but mike tyson is also in the tower

[wind ridge]

current or his prime

[tacit crystal]

No requirements, just not to die. 🙃

[tepid prawn]

depends if you have padded or carapace armour or something squishier ^^

[wind ridge]

well, there are requirements to not die, also

[tepid prawn]

need to also have found hildir ofc

[gray sand]

Tower can be done with Fenris set.

[wind ridge]

i need to have plains armour? bruh i'm just in the mountains, also i did found hildir

[wind ridge]

aint that armor weak af, i never used it anyways

[gray sand]

How much does armor matter if you don't get hit?

[tepid prawn]

if doing it in wolf armour or fenris you need to be pretty skilled and know how to dodge and when you can or can't parry and all that

[wind ridge]

IF

[tepid prawn]

I've seen people do it in root armour

[gray sand]

Yes, and given the armor gives you +9% movespeed...

[tepid prawn]

personnaly I'd be too scared for that especially on hard or v hard

[gray sand]

There's a reason many, many people never swap it out for any other armor.

[wind ridge]

i can steamroll trough the swamp with a single bite of wolf meat and only iron armour, that enough for you?

[cosmic igloo]

ugh why cant i post images here :7 i just got really lucky map seed and wanna show

[tepid prawn]

iron armour is strong for swamp, I use mostly root (you talking about 1 food slot only?)

[wind ridge]

post it on reddit, more people will see

[tacit crystal]

Try https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977

[wind ridge]

just 1 slot

also the armor is lvl 1
was*

[tepid prawn]

thats quite good, if you can easily live against a abom and a 2 star archer and an 1 star elite at the same time with that 😛

[wind ridge]

I also have the CLLC mod

i can post some of my finds on the #screenshots if they are good enough

[tepid prawn]

I don't know about mods does it make game easier or harder that one? this also not the channel for mod discussion.

[cosmic igloo]

#screenshots message here look

[tepid prawn]

you can always just go tower and see if you live or die, make a portal nearby

[wind ridge]

i found the screenshot, i'll post it on the channel shortly
oh shoot you're right, can i still post screenshots that have mods on 'em?

[kindred shadow]

what is the seed name?

[cosmic igloo]

1xLvnRu0LD i think

[wind ridge]

Like, if i wanted to post a 2 star abomination on the channel, can i still do it even though it is because of the mod? It's also poison infused

[gray sand]

#mods-screenshots

[wind ridge]

right... i need to check out all the other channels
imma send the screenshot of the abomination shortly

[cosmic igloo]

uhh wait actually not that one i sent..

[wind ridge]

it's there

[wide topaz]

What is the intended purpose of the increased troll spawn rate potion? Is it to more reliably use them to mine/woodcut for you?

[wind ridge]

More of if you want more coins and trollskin. but yeah that what you said is also correct

[tepid prawn]

whatever you want it to be, love is in the air!

[wide topaz]

I'd just have imagined it's more of a late-game thing, and the hides aren't exactly high value then

[tepid prawn]

I mean, it is a love potion from a bog witch...

[wind ridge]

well it is, but some people love to max out their armor and stuff, but yeah late-game wood cutting makes more sense

[tepid prawn]

would be funny if you could make someone drink it on multiplayer 😛

[wind ridge]

thankfully we dont have such mods yet

[tepid prawn]

woodcutting still faster with ashlands things though

[wind ridge]

please dont say what it is i dont want spoilers

[tepid prawn]

all g

[wide topaz]

I've been playing for about 2 weeks, and I'm in the ashlands now, it's all pretty new to me

[warm sandal]

ashlands are really giving me a hard time 😄 3 morgans and one with a star...add to the mix 2 starred charred warriors and a fallen valkyrie all next to a fortress where the warlock spews out conjured twitchers 😦

[tepid prawn]

thats why I didn't elaborate

[warm sandal]

died again :(... i have not died up to the ashlands at all...and this is the thrid death there now 😦

[tepid prawn]

the official discord is dangerous though for ashlands spilers

[wide topaz]

nbd, I'm docked up and hoping for the best :' )

[kindred shadow]

ya this one is different but does look cool as well lol

[wind ridge]

you thought, i learned all those creatures unvillingly BEFORE you said this.

[wide topaz]

even just docking has felt like kind of a big deal

[tepid prawn]

sometimes people spoiler things from mountains etc and sometimes people massive spoiler things from very recent updates, bit hit and miss

[wind ridge]

i am always a step ahead

[tepid prawn]

I think things from mountain biome don't need to be spoiler tagged for instance haha

[gray sand]

Spoiler: ||Ashlands has Ash.||

[wind ridge]

I'm pretty sure we all know everything about the mountains, seeing people talk about ashlands here

[wind ridge]

so, i want to talk about tetra lakes

[tulip patrol]

Spoilers || Meadows has boar,||

[tepid prawn]

||Mistlands has Mist, Mountains are high, Black Forest has TREES!||

[gray sand]

||Black Forest is a Forest, but it is green/brown.||

[wind ridge]

first of all:
the first cave i entered had one, and a tetra fish jumped out
second of all:
why are they so damn valued and looked out for?

[tepid prawn]

one of the harder ones to find

in case you want to make the *spoiler item *

[wind ridge]

i found one on the nearest mountain to the spawn, in the first cave

[wind ridge]

spoil me then, im curious

[tepid prawn]

people will hate you for that luck, and also don't buy a lotto ticket the luck has now been used up ")

[tepid prawn]

||fishing hat||

[wind ridge]

i can share the seed if you want me to

[plush umbra]

||don't forget blue and orange||

[warm sandal]

you point being? the ashlands have been out for a long time this is the official chat about valheim chat? if you do not want spoilers it might be best not to read here? we do avoid spoilers about things on the PTB but all other is fair to talk about?

[wind ridge]

does it give any special abillities or it's just a decorative thing?

[tepid prawn]

+20 Fishing and Swimming

[wind ridge]

Yeah i understand that, but i thought you were tryna spoil it for me because you said the names of some of the ashlands creatures, after i have said i don't want to have ashlands spoiled

[gray sand]

Did you see the beginnings of pyramid? 👀

[wind ridge]

do you need the fish for that specifically or nah?

[tepid prawn]

all of the fish, yes, won't unlock it until you caught every single fish type

[wind ridge]

uh, that seems like too much work for that buff

[tepid prawn]

bit of a niche thing

[plush umbra]

i did, but i just woke up~~ 2 hours ago~~ so the commenty part of my brain is still under the earth

[wind ridge]

plus, i dont like fishing alot

[tepid prawn]

trollfish is really popular now.... such a nice potion made from them

[wind ridge]

is the fish blue and has a log to smack you?

[tepid prawn]

no the actual fish lol

they dont come with logs ^^

[wind ridge]

theres an actual fish in the game or irl? you got me confused

[tepid prawn]

ingame trollfish

[wind ridge]

oh that was sarcastic lol

[warm sandal]

I have not read up all that was said up to here - i am playing a game shareing my experience here - i do not think with the pace here anyone can keep up on what is being said even 10 min ago?

[wind ridge]

alright bruh sorry, it was a missunderstanding

[warm sandal]

just died again... with the portal destroyed ... i will need to make my way there again without good armor and good protection ...

[tepid prawn]

or call the Body Recovery Squad or a friendly viking from chat that might help

[wind ridge]

i'd call the BRS first

i heard that theres always someone standing on guard, and that they join your world in 40-90 seconds after making a request

[warm sandal]

never needed that in all the long hours i have been playing... i am gonna be able to do it... it will just take a lot of time

[wind ridge]

good luck cause you'll need it

[warm sandal]

yeah i will need it ... but i will get it done in the end 😄

[tepid prawn]

you're brave then, same for me. My worst recovery was in the Mistlands, all I had was a Level 1 Krom, killed a 2 star seeker with it, had no armour left not even troll...

just food and a big ass sword

[warm sandal]

brave i do not know... stubborn! that's for sure... would not be the first time i need to recover from a hard setback... not in this run, but i did many since when i started and i never give in 😄

[tepid prawn]

Yeah keep on keeping on! (thats from another game haha) But I always do that too, strive to succeed and fight on, I'm on like the 14 play through or somethin

thinking of doing a bow and 2h hammer playthrough next

and maybe another weapon that might fit with that style

[warm sandal]

I have been thinking about playing a no map one... but i do get lost so hard WITH a map so i do not know if i would love that 😄

[tepid prawn]

tried it, not my preference, same as portals I love them too much

[warm sandal]

I usually do 2portal all things" as it bothers me tto much to run back and forth all the same route to get things to where they need to be...

[tacit crystal]

My method was during the Ashlands PTB if I died: while waiting for Rested buff I ate 1 Eitr food, casted Shield with the backup Protection Staff (for 4min bubble), then ate pukeberry and after the effect was gone took the right foods and then went.

[tepid prawn]

I also don't like that, cheapens something in the late game for me personally (spoiler)

[tepid prawn]

that is freakin smart mate

[tacit crystal]

Without armor the archers hit hard so protection bubble gives the desired protection.

[warm sandal]

Okay i did establish a new portal not too too far off from where i was getting deaded 😄 now i need more fine wood... for the next safetyline portal

good thing i made all ashlands gear stuff (only level 1 though) so i have fallback stuff to use

[tacit crystal]

Thanks!

And sometimes if I was going with HSE combo when I died I didn't even need to eat pukeberry to remove Eitr food.

[tepid prawn]

Kudos to the DEVS though, the 3 Ashlands armours are all absolutely amazing, each one of them!

[tepid prawn]

I m playing rn with HSE as the one things thats currently working best for me, lowest death rate in fortresses so far with that!

[warm sandal]

yeah..running lvl1 ask set now as my flametal stuff is in the middle of nowhere 😦

[tepid prawn]

Also Ashlands fav biome but Deep North.. I always love icy snowy things so much, in any game. I will probably be playing a long time in that progression stage when it comes out. (Which we all know when DN is getting released, its been said already - when it's done 🙂

[nimble aurora]

i reckon october/november ‘25

[random kayak]

maybe fighting bonemass with a sword wasn't a smart idea-

[nimble aurora]

noooo

i mean i always do but i use a lvl2 iron with 40 in sword skill

[tacit crystal]

I also loved the combo during PTB, my character actually has very high Elemental magic skill due to how much xp the Fracturing staff granted during the test 😅

[nimble aurora]

which gets the job done within one poison resist

[random kayak]

i might need 2 because 80 damage isn't chunking him down

[warm sandal]

my stats look soooo sad... i think i need go b ack to the swamp for a bit and punch stuff in the face to get my fists up to where it was 😦

[tacit crystal]

You're using Fenris Claws in Ashlands? Interesting.

[warm sandal]

i am using fenris claws up to ashlands was lvl 40 with fists 😄 using more magic in the ashlands though

fleshrippers do deal slash though better than spear which deals pierce 😄 my spear levels have suffered greatly too 😦

[random kayak]

bonemass is dead

i would have used a mace but the sword was more fun

[tacit crystal]

Spears are great there too, just don't use them mainly against Charred.

[warm sandal]

yeah i have the spear on 1 and the stormmace on 3 😄 using that against the charred

[tacit crystal]

Splitnir the Storming is great against Valkyries, Morgen and Asksvin. For other melee options my favorites are Klossen and Primal Axes.

Those were my main 3 melee weapons during my normal deathless run which I succeeded. Went without magic.

[tepid prawn]

Primal Axes is what I m doing rn in current play, soooo good

hitting a 2 star warrior while he can't hit back MUAHAHA

[tacit crystal]

I usually start with Klossen against starred warriors, then switch to Axes after it gets immobilized.

[merry pebble]

Pretty much all ashlands weapons are really fun to use 😄

[tepid prawn]

that's the safe way to do it 😀

[tacit crystal]

Safety is priority in deathless runs. 😁

[tepid prawn]

ofc

[tacit crystal]

That way I dealt with Lord Reto too.

[tepid prawn]

haven't done a deathless one yet

[tepid prawn]

Dundr works too I think? I think last time I just let my skellies do the dirty work

[tacit crystal]

Yeah the Dundr knockback is hilarious, one way to deal with him if you have enough Eitr regen.

Some used Trollstav until it was patched lol.

[tepid prawn]

||Staff of Copper Mining||

[tacit crystal]

Or stone pillar demolishing

[tepid prawn]

yep, always fun

[vital umbra]

purple monkey egg

[cosmic igloo]

vine staff also free win vs lord reto

[tacit crystal]

I remember how the Wild staff was before the buff during PTB. It went from laughable to absolutely nuts damage dealer.

[warm sandal]

okay that valkyrie is gone... was camping my second corpse... need to go slow though there is still 3 morgan and a bunch of asksvin

[gray sand]

Had one yes, what about SECOND corpses?

[random kayak]

i killed bone mass and went back to base only to have drakes raid it

i think I'm acoustic because i wasted 20 iron crafting a pick instead of upgrading it

[tacit crystal]

That has happened to most of us.

[warm sandal]

got my armor and weapons back mostly 😄 now consolidate and kill the other foe 😄

[leaden elbow]

On a 3070ti and i5 13th gen, should i go with vulkan/dx and with the extra graphics card utilization? Vulkan with the gx=forgot gives me 60-80% utilization on the gpu and like 53 on the cpu. That utilization gives me vibes i can do something to make it use more gpu for more fps

[random kayak]

dx11 should be better on nvidia

[warm sandal]

ha ha ha left them a troll to be playing with while i try to recover what is laying around

[nova tundra]

||are they added a limit for asksvin eggs? in my farm they stoped producing after 8 eggs, before there was no limit like this||

[cosmic igloo]

is plains the best biome to base in? since u can grow (almost) everything

[merry pebble]

Every animal has a breeding limit...

[nova tundra]

thats not corect, every animal has a breeding limit but since now asksvins didn't have an egg laying limit

there was hatching limit but no eggs limit that can be produced

I wonder if they changed it

[merry pebble]

Oh you are correct, there should not be a limit on the egglaying if there are not too many hatched asksvins in the area, how many do you have?

[nova tundra]

2 that are just for laying eggs

and they stop after 8

[merry pebble]

Are there no others anywhere around?

[nova tundra]

nope, they used a whole stack of food for only 8 eggs

before there was like 30 there for half a stack of food

[merry pebble]

Then i dont have any idea, patchnotes dont mention anything

However the number seems to fit the limit for asksvin, so if you make something like the boar of wolf breeding tower it could still work

[nova tundra]

yep I think I wil need to rebuild my farm

[hearty flume]

What do you guys think? #building-screenshots message

[random kayak]

COZY!!!!!

better than the new york housing situation

[tacit crystal]

Nice details 👍

[hearty flume]

Ty, @tacit crystal And @random kayak - it took 7 hours xD

[tacit crystal]

Building is a timesink in this game 😅

[hearty flume]

I'm now gonna start on the house to sleep in

thinking 4 bedrooms, we're 8 on the server but 3 of them doesn't play much, with a ramp up to the bed, with 4 storage chests under the floor of the beds for personal storage

[haughty wigeon]

good morning

[ebon maple]

guys i just build mistland table , do i need to be a mage or just stick to physical ? does it worth it to use magic ?

[merry pebble]

Play any way you want 🙂

[tacit crystal]

It is totally new playstyle which some people like a lot, you can give it a shot if you like or stick on melee. 👍

I'm personally more of a melee player but magic stuff is good too. And sometimes you can mix melee and magic.

[long locust]

well, today I go to fight fader

[tacit crystal]

The battle will be legendary!

[long locust]

it's all playstyle preference, mage has some very strong tools but also ends up being kind of a glass cannon depending on how you build

[long locust]

yep, got all my bells last night and I have maxed out gear so atp I just need to prep my mead and I'm ready

[tacit crystal]

How are you going to encounter Fader? Mage or melee?

[long locust]

mage

[tacit crystal]

That's viable. Good luck 👍

[long locust]

I plan on using the staff of fracturing as my main weapon, I've really grown to love that thing tbh

I thought I would just use the staff of embers forever but with how I used it the staff of fracturing is just much more suited to my playstyle

I still keep the staff of embers on me in case I get surrounded though

[tacit crystal]

Have you tried Staff of the Wilds or Dundr? Opinions of them?

[long locust]

yep, I like both of them quite a bit

wilds is like a safer alternative to the trollstav, and dundr is a shotgun

I don't get to use dundr much unfortunately but it's really nice for butchering morgens

imo dundr is best used as a "get the fuck away from me" tool because the kb on that thing at point blank is insane

[tacit crystal]

Yeah and Dundr knockback is useful for keeping enemy hordes away. And they absolutely obliterare Morgen.

[long locust]

I've sent asksvins flying with it before it's ridiculous

overall, dundr is my favorite weapon conceptually and fracturing is my favorite in practice

[tacit crystal]

Both are great for bigger single target. For groups it's either Wild or Ember staff.

[long locust]

yep, typically if the enemies are spaced out I'll use fracturing and swap to embers if they're tightly grouped

[tacit crystal]

I have seen many saying Fracturing staff is underwhelming, but it is a useful tool for certain situations. Shooting at feet so all the clusters hit the target raises the fire damage quite effectively.

[long locust]

honestly, if you land your shots and aren't constantly ending up in fights against hordes, it's better than the staff of embers

and both of those are skill dependent, if you let yourself get swarmed often there's most likely another problem with how you handle fights

I find much more success typically by picking off enemies one by one than spamming embers into the crowd and hoping they die

[random kayak]

Silver Sword Acquired!!!

also i somehow got lucky and got fenris set in 2 caves so i just need to max it

[long locust]

nice, go beat yagluth's ass with it

[kind pendant]

Nice!!

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, some people make mistakes when fighting too many enemies at the same time and get overwhelmed, so picking one by one can be effective tactic.

[random kayak]

the moat i built is effective until trolls started chucking rocks...

i don't think i should use fenris in the mountains unless i wanna risk getting mopped by a wolf

until i max it maybe?

[long locust]

you should be fine in fenris tbh, especially if you just focus on outrunning the wolves

[random kayak]

i always kill wolves on sight for meat and fur

[plush umbra]

same

[long locust]

same

[tacit crystal]

You can outrun most enemies with Fenris set. And blocking with shield is effective even when using light armor.

[merry pebble]

The skewers are soooo good 😄

[long locust]

except I used to completely ignore the meat, now I grab it but only for the feast

skewers are nice but sausage + serpent stew is always enough to last me until the plains at least

[random kayak]

i cannot for the life of me find mushrooms

[merry pebble]

I usually mark any patch of mushrooms i see thats bigger than 3 and somewhat close to places i "frequently" go to (base, haldor,...) 🙂

[random kayak]

what if... i drink the rat potion with the fenris set

[long locust]

you go very fast, highly recommend

[random kayak]

I AM ZOOOOMING

[merry pebble]

Add Ask cape to REALLY feel the speed xD

[vast jolt]

what if troll archer

[long locust]

troll throw rock, troll no need bow

[vast jolt]

rock weak & slow, bow strong and fast

[random kayak]

I run so fast that i am actually outrunning deer

[long locust]

fenris speedmaxxing is my favorite thing to do before becoming a mage

[errant knoll]

Nothing quite like going back into the progression biome with new gear and food from it and feeling actually capable rather than fearful haha

Time to storm a fortress.

[long locust]

prepare to feel fearful again

[round otter]

I've been using the fenris set but with an eitr hood and going hybrid mage/melee

[round otter]

The set works well all through the mistlands and early ashelands. The fenris set is op lol as long as you don't get hit

I recommend the claws too you can stagger most enemies with them

[long locust]

ahh, once this mead is done brewing it's gonna officially be fader time

[eternal blade]

Gotta rant. Nine frost caves to get the damn cultist trophy...

[merry pebble]

Ooooof

[random kayak]

t-two

before i mine out again i should probably stock up on 300 iron

[dull sparrow]

Are feasts meant to be useless or am I just not seeing the value in them? I've played through Valheim a dozen times with regular food and I haven't made a single feast yet... They look nice for decorations or roleplay but I'm really having issues understanding their usefulness.

[shy marlin]

They add a more balanced option stat wise, and last 50 minutes. Useful if you're just chilling at base and still want some stats

[eternal blade]

they're balanced, cost-effective stuff. You use usually 7 foodstuff to get 10 portions with double length

good for housekeeping

[merry pebble]

They give you around the same total stats as the best food in a biome, they last 50 minutes and its balanced diet

[dull sparrow]

Idk they just seem like a waste to me. Take the Plains Pie Picnic as an example. Requires 3xBread and 2xLox Pie. Bread gives you 70 Stamina for 25mins, that's 70 stamina for 75mins. Lox Pie gives 75HP for 30mins, which means 75HP for 60mins. The Plains Pie Picnic feast gives you 55 Stamina/HP for 50mins. The only upside is slower stat loss but I don't see that as a win at all....

[nocturne wolf]

Feasts can be used ten times so one feast is 500 minutes of food

[dull sparrow]

So it doesn't dissappear after it's eaten?

[nocturne wolf]

Not until you’ve eaten it for the tenth time

[dull sparrow]

Ok thanks, I see the appeal now!

[rocky widget]

time to find the bog witch....this is not gonna be easy with my luck

[upbeat crypt]

how many food slots does the plains pie picnic take?

[cosmic igloo]

what do you guys think about a "stamina/minor eitr" build vs. other types of builds?

basically, you have eitr for prot bubble/fireball/vine and then rest is invested into stamina for running/dodging/jumping/melee. no hp food because bubble itself is like 2x max hp foods. and the gear you use is stamina focused, like ask gear or fenris

[dull sparrow]

I usually go Marinated Greens, Seeker Aspic and Scorching Medley. That way I got enough stamina to jump around and plenty of eitr to take care of mobs.

[shy marlin]

All feasts just take one food slot

[shy marlin]

It's a good build, works great

[cosmic igloo]

yea ive played full flametal tanky melee, full mage, and this stamina focused/mage hybrid. just roaming ashlands, the last one by far feels the best... although i havent done bosses with it, i guess mage with trollstav still dominates there

[tacit crystal]

Troll unga, therefore troll bunga.

[cosmic igloo]

like being able to almost infinitely kite around with ur huge stamina bar while throwing down vines feels great

[upbeat crypt]

so the feast provides 110 stat points? woah

[long locust]

fader is dead, lad is avenged

[tacit crystal]

Now you get access to the best feast 🎉

[long locust]

yipee, probably gonna use it with the mistlands feast and 1 eitr food for my general purpose exploration now

[upbeat crypt]

why are the feast herbs available AFTER the biome is cleared?

[shy marlin]

It's a reward for killing the boss is their philosophy i think

[tacit crystal]

That's very good combo for casters, casters get also high HP and stamina.

[long locust]

yeah, getting a feast tends to invalidate the rest of the foods in that biome, only exception as of now being the ashlands since it's the highest tier of food currently

[random kayak]

My viking is zooted after drinking the rat potion

[shy marlin]

Once you get super confident with 2stamina 1eitr, i'd recommend just going all out and trying 3 stam, it's brutal at first but once you get a hang of it, it's loads of fun

[long locust]

so far my favorite is triple eitr lol

two eitr foods + eitr feast is just so well rounded for mage

[shy marlin]

yes that's a great option

Bog witch is such a good update man, the new build options are crazy

[long locust]

as soon as I saw it was a cooking update I went feral

[tacit crystal]

And the new meads are great.

[shy marlin]

I honestly enjoy these "Smaller" updates much more than the biome updates (frost caves, abom update, hildir, and now bog witch)

[long locust]

btw who was gonna warn me fader was fire immune lmao

[tacit crystal]

It remains to be seen what kind of smaller updates we get before Deep North.

[long locust]

I mean, it should've been common sense ig but it definitely ruined my staff of fracturing idea, as soon as I saw he was immune I switched to spamming trollstav and roots lmao

[shy marlin]

I thought about sayin somethin but just figured it'd be worse to spoil it for ya

[tacit crystal]

You didn't ask. 🙃

[long locust]

it was pretty funny tbh

anyways friendship with fracturing is over root staff is my new bestie

[tacit crystal]

You had it with you? That was smart. 👍

[long locust]

yeah, I brought all my staves except the frost one lol

[shy marlin]

Frost staff demolishes fader too

[long locust]

yeah, I picked it up from the base after my first death while I was preparing to go back out

just found I didn't really need it much between all the troll and root spam, didn't have the eitr to spare for it

it was fun to put a troll in front of fader and like 4 roots behind him so he could only deal with one at a time

[pallid yoke]

Some bbq skeleton named brenna just tried to jump me with some of her goons who tf was that?😂

[long locust]

ahhh the wonders of hildir raids

yk, I wonder if I should make a fortress specifically for farming raids, and just set my raid rate to the max while in there

just for funsies

[pallid yoke]

Huh? Is that where Brenna came from? My buddy has been doing more exploring while I build my base. Imma too much of a sweat and fly through bosses in these games

[long locust]

yeah, she's a miniboss that drops one of the three hildir chests, once she's defeated in your world that raid unlocks

[pallid yoke]

Ah yea he mentioned bringing back one of her chests. Didn't mention a flaming skeleton. Just the other two who are bros.

[tacit crystal]

My first time Fader encounter I used hybrid melee eitr build with the best HSE food combo, used Thunder Axes and Dundr mostly against him. Had the Root staff and Root Fang too.

[pallid yoke]

The funny thing is that I'm just chilling in my kitchen waiting for the rain to pass and I see some flaming skeleton and a bunch of 1 stars try to jump me

[tacit crystal]

Wait until the bros come to visit.

[pallid yoke]

They have, they did it twice in two days

[cosmic igloo]

ya trollstav is legit all u need for that fight

roots mostly die in his fire aoe

[tacit crystal]

Well, free Black metal scrap delivery 👍

[tacit crystal]

Positioning the roots is the key for them to survive.

[long locust]

I have way too much black metal...

whole barrel full of the ore just waiting to be smelted and I don't wanna do it because it's gonna take so much coal

[rocky widget]

no swamp but an instant yaggy find

[tacit crystal]

Nice, saves the time from finding him later. 👌

[rocky widget]

i dont need any more yaggy spawns 😦

which is exactly why i found one so fast

[long locust]

anyone else like to play duck hunt with voltures and dundr

[rocky widget]

youre gonna need a laughing wolf for that

[pallid yoke]

I haven't even defeated moder yet I can't do anything with the 100 something scrap I have yet 😂 🤣

[severe dust]

why do we have to hold down E so long to fill kilns still in 2024

[cosmic igloo]

TRUE. i just make a macro for it but ya wheres the "add all" button

[shy marlin]

True we have the chest sort that auto deposits stuff into chests if there's something similar in that chest, why can't we do that for smelting

Irongate plz

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[shell shadow]

😮

[tacit crystal]

Some kind of shift+E to add full would be good addition.

[long locust]

god DAMN the ashlands feast is cheap

just vineberries, asksvin tails, onions, jotun puffs, and fiddleheads

only thing that I can't farm is the fiddleheads and those are so abundant it doesn't matter

[cosmic igloo]

whats the stats on that feast?

[long locust]

75 Health/Stam 38 Eitr

[teal matrix]

Thass pretty good

[shy marlin]

If it gave 60 eitr ashlands feast would be crazyyyy

[tacit crystal]

It is really good. Mistlands feast has 65 HP/Stam and 33 Eitr, so combined with AL feast it's total of 140 HP/Stam and 71 Eitr.

Those stats are pretty flexible for 3rd food option.

[teal matrix]

Even just adding the plains feast would be another 55 hp/stam iirc for 195 hp/stam and 71 eitr, seeing as i don't even use eitr I'd nearly run those three just for the 50 minute duration. Lol

[long locust]

yeah, I would use all feasts if I weren't a mage now, they're just so good for the duration alone unless you're going somewhere that needs you to have minmaxed stats

[nova tundra]

Mage is absolutely broken rn, I would even say that it is overpowerd and need to be adjusted, so yeah magic is worth it

[leaden elbow]

how to get my boar to follow me to a new enclosure

[tiny tiger]

Only wolves follow afaik

Best solution I can think of is make a fenced path and push him there

[leaden elbow]

pushing bro physically seems to work

[tacit crystal]

Using feasts save some item slots that used to have food items before, so I can carry some extra meads like Ratatosk Tonic for example.

[cosmic igloo]

did AI pathing get fucked in the latest update? i feel like they give up way too quick when they cant find a good path to you

and run away so far

[vocal rivet]

It hasn't changed, no.

[cosmic igloo]

maybe changed indirectly? like a bug

has any1 else also experienced the same?

[shy marlin]

I've also noticed slightly different behavior.

[cosmic igloo]

like charred warriors getting stopped by 2 pebbles and then taking 20 seconds to re-engage

[cold elm]

Haven't checked lately but if you turn on pvp you used to be able to harpoon tamed boars. Watch your stamina though and/or have temp pens on the way.

[rain flare]

Still can

[long locust]

so, apparently my very tiny mistlands island can spawn hares

[plush umbra]

i think they're the only mistlands "enemy" that doesn't require all 4 corners of a chunk to be mistlands, so all you should need is some unobstructed terrain

[long locust]

yeah, just worries me a bit if they can spawn since that might mean seekers can

[plush umbra]

considering it's an island, it is likely that the water around it also counts as mistlands, which would likely mean that it is a full mistlands chunk and seekers can indeed spawn 😅

you don't need it un-spawnproofed do you?

[long locust]

I don't, but it would be nice to get hares without the bugs lol

[plush umbra]

fair point

[vocal rivet]

Bugs Bunny?

[long locust]

can I just say the iolite greatsword is the most badass looking melee weapon in the game

gonna go tear up some fuling camps with it and my flametal armor

I love mage but I really don't think anything can compare to the feeling of tearing a whole camp of fulings in half with just a greatsword and some god of war music

[digital wave]

ok fader is genuinely a really fun bossfight

[long locust]

yeah, he's like a much fairer yagluth

[rocky widget]

geez what a party...there was a ghost, a seeker 2 skellis a leech and a charred warrior duking it out in the swamp

[long locust]

yk I forgot that the charred can spawn in the meadows now that I've killed fader

[shy marlin]

only the warriors tho i think

[tacit crystal]

If only Yagluth had some melee attacks too.

[rocky widget]

uh i would recon the blue fire aoe counts as melee range since its directly around him

[tacit crystal]

I mean like melee swings with his hands for example.

[merry pebble]

And marksmen 🙂

[shy marlin]

you sure?

[merry pebble]

Wiki says so, i can check the data that was mined

[shy marlin]

I trust

[merry pebble]

And twitchers aparently cant

[clever lion]

Hello. New to the discord. Searching for an answer. Is anyone else having issues typing on signs ?

[merry pebble]

Are you perhaps on xbox?

[clever lion]

Yes

It worked fine till the last patch

[merry pebble]

Then it is a known bug 🙂 fix for it is currently in testing branch and should be out sometime soon

[clever lion]

Awesome thank you

[merry pebble]

[keen cliff]

interesting. a tame (skellie in this case) won't attack a greydwarf that's trapped in a spot near a fire and is frightented.

[plush umbra]

guys what is the command that removes items that are dropped

[gray sand]

removedrops

[errant knoll]

...OK charred fortresses make nice prebuilt bases xD

Might use this first one I've taken over to try and trap askvin for taming

[keen cliff]

yep. i've turned every one into a portal spot. up to 7 now

[azure yacht]

removedrops

[candid shale]

do the grausten walls and window walls have the same health?

[balmy cove]

Hello Warriors. Wondering if anyone had any issue starting worlds lately. I have 70 mods installed that are all pretty common and on the high end of the mod lists.

Wait. I should probably put this in help. Disregard!

[merry pebble]

They will disregard it even in the help channel as it should go to #mods-issues 😄

[balmy cove]

Thank you. 😄

[long locust]

so, how good is the demolisher at its namesake?

[tacit crystal]

You mean.. demolishing? Pretty good at it.

[long locust]

yeah, just wanna know if it's good at destroying structures in the wild

[tacit crystal]

I've collected grausten from the ruins in Ashlands and bronze from the Fortresses (the spikes). It demolishes them well.

[long locust]

it can break the spikes? sweet

[tacit crystal]

Yeah outside the walls.

[errant knoll]

You actually bother gathering grausten?

I've got like 40 stacks of the stuff and I never went out of my way to gather it lol

Enemies in the ashlands pretty much sneeze in the general direction of rocks and they get wrecked

It's at the point where I might actually do a build from scratch now since I'm getting so much of it haha

[candid shale]

does anyone know if i can fish magmafish from the shore or if i have to be in deep water?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, if you build something big out of grausten you want to gather it too.

[errant knoll]

Well if irs truly, truly massive then I guess yeah.

I don't think I personally am likely to be short on it if I just keep playing as I am

[tacit crystal]

I created a pretty detailed mead hall out of grausten so it did cost lots of it. I just took the Demolisher and demolished lots of ruins near cleared fortresses.

[errant knoll]

I kinda have this idea for my next build where it's like a 3 story thing, with a black marble basement and grausten for the other 2 floors, with black marble floor on the ground so the basement is where all eitr refinery and magic stuff goes

So i get to split the burden between my resources

Not sure where I'm likely to build it, I think black forest seems like the most likely biome

Or mountains maybe

[tacit crystal]

Heh, I have quite similar building with black marble basement with Eitr refineries, Galdr table and storage for crafting mats.

[errant knoll]

Given you ideally want the walls to look consistent on the outside doing black marble for the basement just makes sense, and you need a means of containing the eitr refineries spurts

[plush umbra]

hey guys just finished me and my friends base in valheim for those who followed it i wanted to give a update! ⁠ #building-screenshots

[cosmic sail]

Love potion is the best potion offered and nobody seems to notice. Poor trolls, getting overlooked like this....

[nocturne bear]

im a huge valheim fan but i think ashlands is just poorly designed. Whats the communitys popular opinion on that?

[hidden gorge]

its fine

[shy marlin]

Ashlands is pretty controversial, some love it some hate it, but the majorities opinion shouldn't affect yours

[wintry valve]

Im not sure I like ashlands, but its certainly better than mistland for me

[obtuse birch]

Mistlands slap tbh

[wintry valve]

I think its way better in concept than in execution.

[gray sand]

That it's good.

[obtuse birch]

Nah, insek go rahh

Could be better yes but yk

[nocturne bear]

this!

[gray sand]

I think it is perfect in concept and execution.

[obtuse birch]

A more accessible landscape is my only issue

[wintry valve]

Me, it was that there was water everywhere and that the main enemies would often push me off cliffs into the water, which was always disastrous for me

[obtuse birch]

That's the grind

[wintry valve]

And yeah, mix of low visibility and annoying landscape was, well... annoying

[obtuse birch]

All part of the grind

[wintry valve]

You can have a grind without massive knockback

[foggy glacier]

it's why I always get the feather cape first. I'm always looking for the high ground in mistlands.

[wintry valve]

Yeah having known that I would have made the cape way earlier

[foggy glacier]

first time lessons are always hard.

[wintry valve]

im gonna add that hunting wabbits was also annoying

[foggy glacier]

oh yeah.

[wintry valve]

they were small, ran all over the place, and low visibility? Its just frustrating

[gray sand]

So... they hit the nail right on the fucking head with their design for the biome is what I am hearing?

[foggy glacier]

I usually wait until I find a clear spot. There are usually lots of rabbits in those low areas with trees.

[wintry valve]

I wouldnt say that, otherwise them videos Im watching wouldnt describe mistland and ashland as "controversial"

[gray sand]

I would say exactly that.
Because the annoying biome is annoying.

Meaning they nailed it.

[foggy glacier]

yeah. I'm actually enjoying combat in Ashlands. it's quite challenging.

[gray sand]

Ashlands, the war biome, is constant fighting.

Meaning they nailed it.

[wintry valve]

I sorta figured out how to fight one star charred warriors. I dont really like it but what else can I really do?

Basically I just swipe once and then roll away

[foggy glacier]

that works. If you use a polearm, you can cheese them easily.

[long locust]

it's alright, I don't hate it and I think it's well designed but it's not my favorite

[foggy glacier]

one regular attack, one secondary attack. pushes them back far enough that you can do it again.

[wintry valve]

two star warriors must be ridiculous

[long locust]

mistlands is my favorite by far, then probably mountains, the gear unlocks there just open so many options

[foggy glacier]

if they hit you, yes. Don't let them.

My trick with the polearm works for them too.

[long locust]

do yourself a favor and never try to make the dyrnwyn if you struggle with warriors

[wintry valve]

do you somehow survive them more than me? One star warriors instantly staggers me

[foggy glacier]

Don't tank them. Like I said, use the polearm to keep them at bay, or dodge.

You got good armor & food?

[wintry valve]

Im just weirded out with what Scissors said

food, I think im good, armor im still in the process. I got an unupgraded ask armor

[foggy glacier]

That's what I run too. Do you use a magic bubble?

[wintry valve]

and im using a carapace shield. Or rather was, because I no longer try to tank them.

No, maybe I should but im not using magic at all.

[foggy glacier]

that's how i survive.

[long locust]

yeah, I don't melee most of the time, but when I do they're still not that hard

[wintry valve]

well, good for you

[long locust]

and when I melee I'm doing it in squishy mage armor, I don't have any padding to save my ass if they break the bubble, all you gotta do is combo them when you get the chance and dodge, block, or parry around their attacks

[foggy glacier]

The bubble is a game changer, for sure.

[wintry valve]

well i stopped trying to parry those. I find it too hard to read their attacks

[shy marlin]

probably the strongest item in the game tbh

[long locust]

I've meleed them without the bubble still, typically a good combo from the lightning axes will shred them quickly

[foggy glacier]

I still haven't perfectly timed the warriors attacks.

[long locust]

if you don't want to do that, find another way to get in & out, because if you try to just walk straight at them they'll stagger you really fast

[wintry valve]

like I said, I just swing once and roll

it does the trick, slowly

[long locust]

you also have the option of bows, if you wanna have range without using magic

[foggy glacier]

The problem with that strat is that it takes so long to kill them, you attract more. @wintry valve

[shy marlin]

Ye everything in the ashlands has to be fast and efficient

[long locust]

I've found that they typically alternate between feints and normal attacks

not sure if that has any truth to it though

[shy marlin]

don't think so

just listen to their breathe or their gasp or w/e for when they're attackin

[foggy glacier]

nice

I hadn't caught that yet.

[shy marlin]

Once you notice it you can't unhear it

[wintry valve]

Well I attract more no matter what I do so, meh

[foggy glacier]

yeah

[gray sand]

If you're getting staggered when trying to block, that's a food issue.

[wintry valve]

what do you suggest I use?

[foggy glacier]

you're not running magic, so piquant pie, roasted crust pie and mashed meat.

and maybe switch to flametal armor if you can.

[wintry valve]

oh yeah I was meaning to replace glazed chicken with mashed meat

[foggy glacier]

improving your AC will also improve blocking somewhat.

[wintry valve]

and I cant make flametal anything yet

[foggy glacier]

I hear ya. It took me a while to find enough too.

[wintry valve]

im still breeting them lizards to get materials to make bath salt bombs

[foggy glacier]

I'd say keep exploring instead. you'll find enough asksvin.

[wintry valve]

too late

[foggy glacier]

by all means, keep breeding if you have them. but don't focus on it.

[wintry valve]

Might as well since I am all set for it

[gray sand]

Magic food: EEF
Non-magic food: HHS

You need 160 HP to parry with the Carapace Buckler.

HHS purely from Mistlands-tier is 220.

[long locust]

let me just say, catapulting halfway across the world from the top of a mountain to land on top of a sealed tower is actually peak valheim

[wintry valve]

well I had like 280 hp and they staggered me

[long locust]

I'm gonna go do that again but bring my staffs this time so I can raise hell on that tower

[wintry valve]

Also I just figured out that I can go in a stone portal with metals even if the other side is a regular portal

[inner viper]

do tetra fish in the tetra ice lake cave run out? or do they respawn?

[wooden tapir]

respawn

unless u pick them up with your hands, i dont think those respawn

[cobalt canyon]

Fight with Moder resulted in just over 90 silver scattered on the ground.

[inner viper]

how would they make a difference?

[wooden tapir]

because you are supposed to catch them with a rod, so if you dont the ui doesnt count it as caught

pretty sure thats how it works

[inner viper]

well even when u reel it in ur still pressing e on it to pick it up

[wooden tapir]

hmm, idk then. but yes the caves will respawn the fish

[inner viper]

well thats what i like to hear thanks

[bright kiln]

hey, question. how are we supposed to get more trades with the bog witch?? im missing lots of items from her, ive killed up to bonemass. but have only unlocked the meadows spice. i cant buy the sythe handle, or the toadstool. is it supposed to unlock this slow???

[random kayak]

Kill Moder

(yeah it's weird)

[bright kiln]

also it was a new world with old characters, so we killed bonemass first, then the deer.

no unlocks, so we killed the elder.

but i get it now, thinking about it more

[foggy glacier]

You get a bunch of stuff after killing Moder. You also need to kill a serpent (on your world after the update) in order to get the seafarers herbs.

[wintry valve]

whoa, valheim crashed on me

ok... seems like my world got corrupted?

[random kayak]

Now prepare to open console and see if the game screwed you over

Oh my god that's even worse

[wintry valve]

so thats a thing that can happen

[random kayak]

I swear I've seen that character somewhere but I can't put my finger on it

[wintry valve]

well the game seems to do backups, lemme see if I can restore it

Well it got a previous save or I dont know. This is miffing a bit because I was in the process of sieging a fortress and I managed to break both summoner things.

[warm sandal]

third fortress in a row that held no flametal what so ever just one iolite gem and some money 😦 I died three times getting in there 😦 sigh

[keen cliff]

Ouch. Bad luck

[warm sandal]

making my way over to where fadder is there are three more fortresses... but getting flametal has been a real chore have to be mining it all myself 😦

[woven sapphire]

I know how that goes...

[placid copper]

Are the Lox based on something?

Or completely original?

[tacit crystal]

TIL. Gotta try to hear next time I play. My tactic has been to prepare parry either attack, since the normal and feint attacks have small timing difference, I've been successful with that.

[errant knoll]

"Hey look a flametal pillar"

uses mining pick once

"...aww, already a disturbance in the force? 😦 "

Also seeing people here talking about charred warriors, I noticed that they seem basically unable to act if you use the mistwalker

[tacit crystal]

I once had 3 Lavaiathans very close and since they have only 1% chance to start sinking you'd think I could have gotten lots of flametal from them? Well, 2 of 3 started to sink after few hits, quite the odds.

[errant knoll]

I've only mined from 3 so far, first one never dipped and still has flametal left on it near the top, I'll probably go back to it.

Next 2 I learned my lesson and started mining at the top. One of them completely mined, never moved. The other one started sinking really early

It's annoying that I have to go back and Don my feather cape just for mining flametal because I've been using the Ashen Cape as part of my ashlands combat build.

(Battlemage setup. Ashen Cape, Flametal Helmet, Embla Robes and Trousers)

I've also been a huge fan of the staff of fracturing, seen that many people apparently don't like it. If I'm going back to the plains or mistlands I agree that the staff of embers is probably better but I've been getting lots of mileage out of fracturing in ashlands

[chrome badge]

Damn I got spoiled for like 13 things just glancing at this chat

[errant knoll]

Look if there was a spoilers chat I'd go there to chat ok, I'm sorry

[tacit crystal]

Well, it'll be like that unfortunately.

[errant knoll]

But yes, its hardly surprising. It'd be kinda like watching a YouTube video on a video game you want to play and getting upset at seeing spoilers in comments

[tacit crystal]

Everyone progressing at their own pace and there are many that have finished most of the content so there is no way to avoid spoilers in this chat.

Best way to avoid spoilers would be not reading this chat.

[merry pebble]

That Is sadly what happens when on game discord 😉

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

If that was with just glancing what would have happened if you had really looked?

[chrome badge]

Meh, majority of discords I'm apart of have a spoiler chat or a rule to use the spoiler marking.

[chrome badge]

Anarchy

[merry pebble]

Not here, you are on your own risk here 🙂

[chrome badge]

Apparently, please stop pinging me back, going to avoid this channel like the plague now

[merry pebble]

Tho usually when you say you are a new player others will try not to spoil 😄

[opal prairie]

Until someone comes along that doesn't realize and the jig is up.

[random kayak]

I never thought that I would have to wait for wolves to spawn...

It might be easier to just domesticate them

[merry pebble]

I would say get at least one starred ones for it to be worth it 🙂

[random kayak]

I need fur

[vital umbra]

hi

[nocturne wolf]

You could go at night for increased spawns and starred wolves

[nimble aurora]

they should give fenrings a drop other than wolf fangs

[random kayak]

Wait... At night? Oh maybe I should do that

[nimble aurora]

even 1-2 fenris hair would be nice

[nimble aurora]

starred wolves only spawn at night yes

[nocturne wolf]

And the spawn rate and spawn limit are increased significantly

[random kayak]

Oooooh

I should do that but transporting wolves from across the continent is going to be painful

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need to transport anything, by going at night you’ll be able to get much more wolf fur from hunting.

[random kayak]

Oh no I meant as guard dogs

[wide topaz]

Does anyone else find it useful to generally wear ashen cape, and switch to feather cape for any jumps they would like to do?

[random kayak]

I don't NEED guard dogs, because I have a moat and it pretty much keeps 99% of things away

[nocturne wolf]

I always wear feather cape, why would you wait for capes to equip constantly mid-combat?

[wide topaz]

Oh I'm just enjoying the defence of the ashen, since I need that a lot more than jumping at the moment, and then sometimes there's a big jump I need, so I carry the feather as a switch

[gray sand]

I wear just Ashen.

[random kayak]

Valheim is so freaking cozy

[gray sand]

I am acquiring the final Hildr chest!

Until they add the Mistlands dungeon 🙂

[mellow lava]

if i hop back on valheim

i gotta iron farm, which im not wanting to do

[gray sand]

If you enjoy Valheim, you enjoy iron farming.

[random kayak]

Not to self... Maybe don't hunt for starred wolves in fenris

[mellow lava]

the iron farm is the worst farm

[gray sand]

No?

[idle storm]

Once you get to Mistlands it gets easier.

[cosmic igloo]

its pretty bad yeah, but id say infested mines farm is wayyyyyyyyy worse

aids level: infested mines (finding them) > silver farm > iron farm

[paper turret]

Yo Vikings! Is it possible to place stack of regular food (not feast)? If no, are there any plans on enabling this? I really like to eat food from table without need to place it again and again and again

[mellow lava]

ive done a ton of playthroughs and beat the game a number of times. i rather farm flametal & infested mines than swamp dungeons

its a personal preferance

[cosmic igloo]

fair enough

ya i mean i def agree with you tho, especially when ujust arrive.. holding left mouse button zzzz

[merry pebble]

I don't think you can atm, but you can put it in #suggestions 😄

[random kayak]

I can't wait to get to the plains and finally... Flat land 😔

Living near a cliffside has very big disadvantagea

I'm probably going to do a 300 Iron run so I can secure myself for the plains biome

Because from what I remember the plains use ALOT of iron

[gray sand]

Plains is just the iron armor you deserve 🙂

[random kayak]

I'm farming pelts and a golem just wiped a group of fenris and wolves

I'ma keep it alive and see how many it kills

[idle storm]

I usually just skip padded armor. Not really worth it imo since i wear fenris + root harnesk in plains and Carapace is cheap and easy to craft.

[gray sand]

Padded ftw.

Also I have never heard Carapace described as "cheap"

[idle storm]

The full set takes 10 iron and 12 refined eitr to craft. The carapace and scale hide are a non-issue since you'll be drowning in them anyway. How is it not cheap?

[gray sand]

Drowning in scale hide?

What magical land of infinite, easily killed bunnies do you live in?

[idle storm]

put base at a Mistland border or set up sharp stakes around your Mistland base or farm.

Even greydwarves oneshot mist hares

All you have to do is run around every now and then and collect

[errant knoll]

Scale hide kinda depends on where you enter the mistlands from a bit

From the perspective of a player who does little building, my tactic was to look for pstches of mistlands near swamps and chase the hares out. They're sitting bunnies in the water

[cosmic igloo]

same, except i use atgeir/frostner/bow. havent figured out how to do mistlands without wisp yet

i might do padded helm

[idle storm]

Easiest way is to sail around the edges of Mistlands until you find a mist-free area with a mine. They're not that rare.
Same for dvergr outposts though you can usually see them through the mist too since they have their own wisplights.

giant skulls you need to get lucky or brave the mists, but i mostly find them by listening for ticks anyway so sight is not strictly necessary.

[errant knoll]

I would never say I was "drowning" in scale hide and I did find myself just shy of the final bits needed to upgrade gear to level 4... but that's superficial, considering what's required to get a level 4 Black Forge/Galdr Table

[idle storm]

I mean you need 9 scale hide to craft the carapace set. We're not exactly talking about stacks upon stacks here.

[cosmic igloo]

alright, ya def gonna try that next playthrough. been skipping a lot of "natural progression" this run and it feels a lot faster and fun tbh

[crystal hatch]

Find out that Iron Battlehammer from some mod has same moveset as atgeirs (spin2win stun on heavy attack)
Is this only mod thing or where is other weapons in game with same moveset but NOT atgeirs? Ideally 2hand sword or axe.

[idle storm]

No, every weapon category has its own moveset.

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[crystal hatch]

damn... we play on hardcore with extra difficulty and it's pretty much a death sentence to go melee with some thing without aoe stun...

[gray sand]

There is no weapon that stuns so...

[crystal hatch]

well atgeirs does, but i don't like it normal attack...

[gray sand]

I doesn't stun.
It just hits things in an aoe with knockback.

If it does enough damage it can stagger, but that isn't built into the weapon.

[crystal hatch]

by stun i means stagger, sorry

[lunar sapphire]

Omg it's a mimic

[crystal hatch]

no, i'm not 💀

[gray sand]

Best shield in the game fully upgraded 😄

And back out to farm more Carapace for armor 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

It does have a 6x stagger multiplier though, I don't think any other attack can do more stagger.

[mellow lava]

padded is just good drip

[idle storm]

A biome-appropriate atgeir staggers pretty much everything that isn't a boss with its secondary. Fuling berserkers, seekers, charred, doesn't matter. It's the whole reason for the "spin to win" meme.

[gray sand]

I need to change my name to include how long I have been playing....

[gray sand]

Just did ze maths on Demolisher vs. Himminimmnimiminnmmin (in terms of stagger)

It's interesting.

[cosmic igloo]

not bersekers and lox im pretty sure

and not seeker soldiers

or does it depend on ur skill level? because for example, i cant stagger berserker with black metal atgeir + 30 lvl

[idle storm]

Probably? I'm staggering them pretty reliably

[nocturne wolf]

Skill level affects damage of the weapon, so stagger will change too

[idle storm]

no idea what my skill is though 😅

[cosmic igloo]

alright i guess just the skill level

[nocturne wolf]

Stagger dealt is physical + lightning damage * stagger multiplier

[tacit crystal]

Aka skill issue

[cosmic igloo]

xD

goddamn ive been sleeping on demolisher, its insanely useful

especially so in mines

[gray sand]

Demolisher is amazing.

Just wait till you see how easy it makes the Ashlands.

[cosmic igloo]

ya just started progressing on ashlands, curious if it does good on fortresses

and i just learned you can dig under the middle tower inside the fortress, so ima just skip the battering ram altogether

[idle storm]

Demolisher is the reason i survived the initial ashlands ptb landing👍

[final bloom]

You could, but I dont think it's worth. It works pretty well

[cosmic igloo]

why not worth? battering ram just faster?

[final bloom]

Probably yeah. But it's also fun xD

[cosmic igloo]

im just tired of having to bring the mats, having it get stuck in the doorway, then possibly having it get stuck on stuff inside (like gravestones, bad terrain)

[woven idol]

Any chance of the building pieces getting a 3 axis rotation in the future?

[gray sand]

No.

[woven idol]

Sad.

[gray sand]

Also no.

[woven idol]

why?

[woven idol]

do you hate the creative spirit of humanity?

[gray sand]

Do you hate the way the game is currently designed?

[woven idol]

No. I just see some stones in goblin camps that have a quirky Y rotation so I figure there may be a chance.

[crystal hatch]

i'm not 100% sure, but probably Gizmo mod could do this

[gray sand]

Example?

[woven idol]

1 min

in #screenshots it's a bit quirky innit

[plush umbra]

it can, and things rotated like that remain vanilla-compatible.
the game is capable of such rotation, we just sadly don't have the tools for it in vanilla and i don't think the devs want us to

as long as all you do is rotate things in "illegal" ways using gizmo, you can load up that world without any mods just fine, it won't break anything

[gray sand]

Winter and I define "fine" differently 😛

[plush umbra]

what

[woven idol]

It's fine if they don't want that, building as it is has so many creative options as is.

[final bloom]

Nah, dont bother about it

[gray sand]

Weird butt-in, but ok.

[cosmic igloo]

is there a way to disable the "new build piece" spam?

[errant knoll]

Honestly would be great if there was, never thought to ask this haha

"Shut up game, got bigger fish to fry right now!"

[cosmic igloo]

yea like u arrive in ashlands, pick up ashwood or something and ur entire left screen is just disabled

while you have an undead army to kill

[azure yacht]

No

[errant knoll]

Lava blob explodes and you pick up Ashwood and Grausten for the first time, at the same time.

The spam never ends xD

[candid basalt]

That happened to me 😂

[woven idol]

are the "You are being hunted" events more common in the plains? I swear I only had it once in the mountains but i've been in the plains for a day and had it happen like 3 times

[cosmic igloo]

btw, just because it happened right now, has the magic cast cancelling bug(?) been addressed? it's incredibly annoying, you use the eitr but dont cast the thing. i think it happens if you cast + do some action, like jump, at the same time

[nocturne wolf]

It's the same chance in both biomes

[nocturne wolf]

This happens with all weapons, not just magic

[cosmic igloo]

alright

[errant knoll]

Meanwhile you actually need to deal with voltures, a charred spawner and 2 morgen all at once, while having no familiarity with what many of these enemies are capable of.

[cosmic igloo]

btw, can you hit spawners inside fort with demolisher?

[final bloom]

Never had to fight two Morgens at once before. Hope you survived

[wide topaz]

Is there any way at all to deal with suddenly spawning valkyries, when you're already well on your way to a lavaithan, or is that just the luck of the game and RNG means you have to corpse run in lava now?

[errant knoll]

Honestly I think asksvin and fallen valkyries are both more threatening than the morgen are, morgen just take a long time to kill

[tepid prawn]

think I agree, also all 3 of them help you kill charred though 🙂

[wide topaz]

Just a note on my previous comment in case developers keep an eye on the chat - I would be happy to see a re-design of the laviathan mining gameloop. I tend to look at game balance in terms of "What did I learn from that experience?" and in this case, the only thing I could take from it was "If you don't want that to happen, do not engage with lavaithans more than a few meters out in lava.". I'm not sure I see another potential option, and generally I think it's best that in-game content shouldn't necessitate avoidance.

[errant knoll]

They do. I'm mostly just noting how many times I've die because a morgen joined a fight unexpectedly, vs how many times I've died because valkyries and asksvins joined unexpectedly and honestly Morgens are more kiteable than asksvins and more counterable than valkyries

[azure yacht]

no

[errant knoll]

If an asksvin spots you it's tantamount to either you or the asksvin dying unless you already planned its entrapment in advance. Those things are relentless m

[tepid prawn]

morgens also are stormtroopers, often miss aka roll in the wrong direction

[opal prairie]

They aren't used to all their limbs yet and flail around.

[errant knoll]

I've had a Morgen clip through the floor while rolling once and then teleport back to the surface lol

[tepid prawn]

also if I m melee I fear the asksvin more, if wizard I fear the valk more because all the stuff she casts makes me miss shield expiring sometimes

[wide topaz]

Morgen reappears, dazed and confused
"I've seen some shit. Let's stop fighting."

[errant knoll]

I'm doing a weird hybrid build with embla trousers and chest, flametal helm and ashen cape with bonemass buff in back pocket.

Staff of fracturing has so far been my lynchpin against all 3 of those enemies, meanwhile I rely on mistwalker for the regular charred

[opal prairie]

I fear the asks more than the valk, the valk is predictable the asks less so.

[tepid prawn]

you mage or melee or ranged?

valk is hardest for me if mage

[errant knoll]

Valks are predictable but have a tendency to always seem to show up at the worst possible moment

[tepid prawn]

they also kill skellies faster than asks for me

[opal prairie]

Mage main but I dabble in melee with ask set and root + lightning zerker axes I also try my hand at range with again the ask set and root and lightning bows.

[errant knoll]

Ye, my distraction force is quitebuseless vs valks haha

[wide topaz]

I've not played a game before that leans so heavily into randomness as its core mechanic for managing difficulty, like Valheim does

[tepid prawn]

maybe intended I dunno

[wide topaz]

Oh it's absolutely intended.

[opal prairie]

Yeah, you are strolling around in the ashlands, nothing really happening and then you are suddenly set up on by mob after mob.

[wide topaz]

There are times it works very, very well - but I'm not sure from a player experience perspective whether it offers any advantage over a more balanced approach

I'm willing to be very wrong on that. I'm definitely enjoying the hell out of this game. But man, it's horribly stressful at times.

[errant knoll]

I've gotten used to just killing the mobs that come my way now, you get good at either running away or dispatching them efficiently

[tepid prawn]

I just struggle with Valks as a mage, my skellies die too fast and then its just me seemingly too low eitr regen and hoping I always recast the shield in time

as a melee with barley wine is no issue

[wide topaz]

Yeah, part of the design intent, to me at least, appears to be the 'barbarian' approach to gameplay. Hold your ground and beat the absolute shit out of everything.

[opal prairie]

Sometimes we all need to be Brave Sir Robin.

[errant knoll]

The asksvin cloak and general asksvin armor set flies in the face of that approach though

[wide topaz]

Haha, yeah

[errant knoll]

It's designed specifically for picking your battles and running.

Not that I'm using them, I've gone with the Ashen Cape because I don't like running lol

[wide topaz]

I'm very much enjoying myself in the game. I reserve the right to complain loudly on the internet about dying on the game I like though

My ashlands experience so far is probably the closest I've been to crying over a video game since I was about 12 lmao

[errant knoll]

Yeah, never said you couldn't haha xP. We've all had those moments where the games bitten us in the butt in what feels like the most unfair way possible

[foggy glacier]

I think everyone's had at least one 'Aww come on! Are you kidding me?' moment.

[errant knoll]

Mine was when I broke down a door in melee range in the infested mines, only to get instantly staggered and killed in about 1 second by the seekers who were behind it. Didn't realise one of them was 2 stars lol.

Ever since then I broke those doors with the arbalest

It was instant, totally unreactable

[wide topaz]

That moment for me is

Checking carefully, campfired all over the place before going for my first flametal vein.
No monsters. Begin jumping carefully across. Get to platform. See valkyrie far distance.
.... Mine ore. Can't see valkyrie. It's behind me. 10 seconds pass, lavaithan starts to float.
Valkyrie carefully guards my body outside of bow and arrow reach, level 2 asksvin spawns near my base.

[cosmic igloo]

with ashlands you just gotta set ur mind to accepting that you're gonna be fighting some waves of enemies anytime you wanna do something (also make sure u kill nearby spawners)

[errant knoll]

My first fortress took 2 days to take because day 1 I had to deal with waves of enemies around the fortress lol

[cosmic igloo]

ya pretty standard tbh

[errant knoll]

All I managed to accomplish on day 1 was breaking the front doors open after clearing out all the trash

All I will say is if a level 2 asksvin has spawned near your base it is night time and you should certainly just use the bed to tick time over to the morning

If youre in that bad of a spot anyway

[wide topaz]

yeah I just went home and tended my onions. They won't hurt me

[idle storm]

I usually use staff of frost to kill them. You'll want triple eitr food as a pure mage in ashlands though for endurance, especially if your skills are low.

Once you get past 50 elemental skill it gets a lot more comfy with EES

[tepid prawn]

yeah I often do triple eitr too, I did EES that time maybe that was the problem

Ele is like 34 I think

[cosmic igloo]

2x vines and fireball it, it will get melted

[errant knoll]

You might benefit more from EEF though, using the mistlands feast

[tepid prawn]

yeah this happened once it died from burning but I forgot to recast bubble when it spun, we both died 🤣

[errant knoll]

It's like, 65 hp and stam, 33 eitr. All in all in a really good ball of stats, better than even ashlands tier foods, just lighter on eitr

[foggy glacier]

I break the doors with the demolisher. The door takes two hits and you're staggering anything behind it by the second smash.

[tepid prawn]

I think my next playthrough is bow + 2H hammers

[opal prairie]

2 eitr one health is what I used starting mistland, then switched over to 2 eitr one stamina once I was more accustomed to the biome and my vines kept the mobs away.

[errant knoll]

My current build in ashlands is very strange though, using FHE as my meal setup

[tepid prawn]

also love HSE hybrid with heavy armour, maybe one of my new favs

[wide topaz]

I use HHS, haven't felt the need for eitr yet

[tepid prawn]

HSE with protection and wilds staff

literally all the Crowd Control, Primal axes and vines

[opal prairie]

Before I have staff of embers I'll attack the door with my knives till it almost breaks and then back off and finish it with the bow.
For extra safety I build cooking racks in front of the door, it stops the mobs and I can plink away.

[gray sand]

Everyone who runs HSE needs to try EEF now tbh.

[shy marlin]

EEF is crazy strong

[foggy glacier]

The bubble is so helpful.

[foggy glacier]

how do you build cooking racks inside infested mines?

[gray sand]

Completely replaces HSE imo.

[errant knoll]

This, eef is way better than hse

[wide topaz]

Actually, yeah, that would have gotten me out of the valkyrie sends me to fireball hell problem

[tepid prawn]

EEF mage sounds real good why have I not done this

[stable mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/russian-roulette-challenge-challenge-roulette-russian-roulette-gif-25993507

[cosmic igloo]

what is EEF?

[tepid prawn]

Eitr Eitr Feast food option

[gray sand]

Because you weren't here the day Feasts dropped and I updated the food sheet? 😛

[errant knoll]

The mistlands feast in terms of raw stats offers more of everything than a single ashlands food

[foggy glacier]

Eitr, Eitr, Feast. food selection

[tepid prawn]

I was here, am always here XD

[gray sand]

Then idk

[wide topaz]

Is EFF not a good option?

[gray sand]

Because I went off on how starting in Mistlands you should be running EEF.

[errant knoll]

My personal build would use EFF once I get the ashlands feast but I have not acquired it yet

[opal prairie]

My bad, cooking station is what I meant.

[foggy glacier]

Before getting the mistlands Feast?

[gray sand]

If both F's are Mistlands and Ashlands, possible.

[tepid prawn]

yeah me neither haven't killed him in current playthrough yet

[foggy glacier]

Oh, campfire?

[gray sand]

?

[foggy glacier]

If you're just getting into mistlands, you don't have the herbs for the feast.

[tepid prawn]

no the rack where you attach deer meat and boar meat to

[gray sand]

Then you shouldn't be using feasts for Mistlands.

[errant knoll]

The ball of stats offered by the plains feast makes it a good source for both hp and stam, I'd say even with plains feast eef is worth for a mage build, though with mistlands feast it gets real nice

[opal prairie]

No the cooking station that goes over the campfire, to cook meat on.

[shy marlin]

Nah don't use plains feast just go for EES

Stamina > health on a mage build

[gray sand]

Feasts are for non-combat or previous-biome scenarios.

Regular food is always better.
Until you have killed Queen and only if you're running mage.

[foggy glacier]

How am I just now learning that you can build cooking racks inside dungeons? 😳

[gray sand]

If running mage and only after killing Queen, EEF is a great standard setup.

[tepid prawn]

yeah the Mist and ash feasts make it viable

[errant knoll]

Tbh, mistlands feast is bis food for first time you enter the ashlands, even if you're not a magic build

[opal prairie]

Cooking stations. It is a handy way to block mobs if needed.

[errant knoll]

I dont see any other food that gives 130 combined hp and stamina

[austere burrow]

havent been on the game for a while what are feasts?

[foggy glacier]

Yeah. I thought you needed a workbench.

[errant knoll]

Not until after you get ashlands mats
