[merry pebble]

Adeptus mechanicus quote 🙂

[long locust]

that thinking doesn't help, sometimes you gotta get creative, or sometimes you gotta send an invite code

[opal prairie]

So I was close that it was a 40k reference, no?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes 😄

[subtle perch]

mmh i will think about that. Honestly I am a bit pissed off I have to resolve for other help after I worked my ass so bad to reach ... nothing

Cause they had to make biome 6 hard and painful

I even liekd a lot the design and the enemies

[cosmic igloo]

nothing wwrong with asking for help

[smoky obsidian]

I just died 5 time in a row and went from 51 to 46 in swords skill. I did find a spawner in a swamp and it took me 45 minutes to get back to 51 and in the Ashlands I could see the upgrade so maybe go to that buddy

[subtle perch]

asking for help itself yes, but after all I did ... and it wasn't sufficient

I have to think on that

[cosmic igloo]

ya np, also try to take it slow. going slow actually ends up being faster a lot of the time. if u hear some noise, go investigate and kill whatever is making the noise. if u hear gjall horn then be extra cautious

[vocal rivet]

Plains isn't that bad.

[cosmic igloo]

hes talking about mistlands i think

[vocal rivet]

So the 7th biome.

[shy marlin]

Pedantic

[azure yacht]

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness

[smoky obsidian]

Mistlands is hard and painful and not enjoyable

if it was the plan from dev, they did it well

[gray sand]

Mistlands is fun and enjoyable.

[vocal rivet]

Mistlands is fun and different. Ashlands is hard but a fun challenge.

[gray sand]

They did it very well.

[sweet socket]

Mistlands is like a root canal

[azure yacht]

Also, better hard but fun/exciting than easy but boring

[shy marlin]

Gamers when the brutal game they signed up for becomes brutal

[sweet socket]

I signed up for building

[azure yacht]

Then tweak the modifiers for that

[gray sand]

Then go play a game advertised as a building game 😄

[long locust]

I will always say I've only ever had one death in this game that was completely out of my control, and it was due to an internet issue on multiplayer

[shy marlin]

Plan on easy then

[sweet socket]

No

[vocal rivet]

Wrong game, really.

[smoky obsidian]

Ashlands are hard, but really funny to play cause THERE IS NO FOG OR CLIFFS ON EVERYSTEP YOU TAKE

[gray sand]

I die to trees 😭

[sweet socket]

I will complain about Mistlands

[shy marlin]

So the solution lies straight in your front of your face yet you completely ignore it, nice

[sweet socket]

No your face

[vocal rivet]

Mature.

[merry pebble]

Then enable commands and go to town 🙂

[gray sand]

So... the majority of humans?

[azure yacht]

"You're talking about solving problems? WHAT? You think rational thinking is the way to go? You're insane"

[long locust]

mistlands was a very nice palate cleanse after afghanistan plains, fairly peaceful so long as I didn't actively seek fights

[shy marlin]

Aware

[gray sand]

Is sad 😦

[sweet socket]

I see you all play Valheim to be way too serious

[shy marlin]

Sure

[long locust]

nah I spend over half my time in this game building farming and cooking, I just know how to handle myself in fights and don't bitch at the game when I make mistakes

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[vocal rivet]

This isn't general chat.

[azure yacht]

lol

[shy marlin]

Actively give him a solution to his problem and that's toxic

I absolutey cannot

[azure yacht]

Shame on us for trying to help in a community that should be dedicated to help

[gray sand]

How dare you give logical answers to solvable problems.
How dare you.
😏

[smoky obsidian]

The point is not to blame the game or the dev for anything I did bad in my games. Just a fact that there's a biome that is not enjoyable, even if it's beautful or whatever, it's such pain to play in it cause the difficulty scale is high, the mobs are harder and weakless, the ressources are non that efficient. The only thing I really enjoy in Mistlands is the fight of The Queen. Why ? Cause it's in a big room where you have place to moove

[long locust]

god gamers when they're told dying over and over might have something to do with them and not the game

[smoky obsidian]

But I'm not saying "they should have made this or that"

[vocal rivet]

And yet we're the toxic ones.

[smoky obsidian]

no, I totally understand that they planned it like this and it's ok, just it's 🥵

[long locust]

yep, there's a big difference between criticism of the game and complaining about the game

[subtle perch]

yeah, I defeated plains alone without much trubles, wolves aside

[long locust]

I personally love the mistlands and dislike the ashlands, it's a matter of preference

[cosmic igloo]

i mean not everyone but there sure are some super unhelpful ppl here, like you

[gray sand]

Mistlands with a Mountain in the middle of it is 🧑‍🍳 💋

[vocal rivet]

I'm very helpful as most people will acknowledge.

[cosmic igloo]

yep, such as correcting ppl on their biome listing

[subtle perch]

i agree, but it would make all the horuse spent to reach this point unuseful. All that farming for what? Another player full gear ashlands? At this point I should have just play together with people since beginning.

[cosmic igloo]

a helpful derek moment

[near furnace]

don't fall for rage-bait...

[subtle perch]

as soon as you have the right gears yes

[gray sand]

I like 4th gear the most, personally.

[subtle perch]

lol

well 5th looks really weird, i admit

[shy marlin]

idk i bum rush the mistlands in troll armor and bronze gear simply because it's so much fun to have to actively listen and be more aware of my surroundings, best biome in the game

[smoky obsidian]

not even that

[subtle perch]

you very good then

[subtle perch]

and what if you have to stop and mine?

or you get swarmed?

[gray sand]

It's better to go and yours. 🙂

[sand prism]

man just tryna find a game to go play on, why is everything a password

[arctic garnet]

Ticks might GG you on the spot if they catch you maybe, and they're all around the skulls you want to get.

[shy marlin]

Bronze atgeir/sword

[sand prism]

anyone playing where i can come join?

[long locust]

for tissue and marble, mining into a giant skull is basically a free shelter from anything that wants to kill you

[shy marlin]

#1024264966712340510 check there @sand prism

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

So griefers have a harder time 🙂

[long locust]

go from the top down, don't mine from the side where everything can hit you

[sand prism]

thanks!

[vocal rivet]

I'll be sure to remove all of my content from the Wiki.

[subtle perch]

ok, i don't think I want to continue this. I don't want to make comparizon with mega pro people

[subtle perch]

not even that, they still swarm you

[sand prism]

isnt there just a jump in server?

[gray sand]

Never has been.

[near furnace]

--> #1024264966712340510

just no

[shy marlin]

fair enough, i should also acknowledge my experience with valheim is probably vastly different than yours

[long locust]

if you're inside the skull they can't do anything to you, soldiers are the only ones that might hurt you

[arctic garnet]

oh yeah they might fly up on top of the skull then drop down the hole or something

oh the soldiers they can't fly. they can smash through the skull? Interesting.

[gray sand]

Genuinely the only things I stop for on the first couple runs is Ygg wood so I can come back and spam wisplights everywhere.

[river jewel]

its about u not seeing or understanding what other ppl see as a problem. wouldnt necessarily call it toxic but this place gives me very cynical vibes everytime i return within months in between and most of the time different ppl. valheim is a very cozy game and id didnt expect that kinda behaviour here. not to be rude some ppl are just that way

[random kayak]

Can confirm

[sand prism]

still not finding a game, anyone wanna start a new one?

[random kayak]

When even when I joined this server a year ago Derek was very sweet and helpful

[arctic garnet]

#1024264966712340510 might have some people as you've been suggested.

[vocal rivet]

I tried very hard to understand your issue earlier. I'm sorry your resolution wasn't satisfactory.

[river jewel]

feels kinda cold not very inviting at least while chattng

never talked to u so

i have weird problems sometimes i know but thats how i pick it up

[gray sand]

Cold? In November?
Never that...

[vocal rivet]

I imagined the last 10 minutes in #valheim-help?

[river jewel]

we texted not talked

[vocal rivet]

Well, that's a level of pedantry even beyond me.

[shy marlin]

[merry pebble]

🍿

[cosmic igloo]

all good now? @subtle perch or still struggling

[subtle perch]

changed game

[cosmic igloo]

aight

[subtle perch]

Meanwhile reasoning on a strategy ... but i am really upset

they made it too much hard

The biome is awesome, the enemies are too much strong.

[cosmic igloo]

i feel u, try not to make it more complicated than it is tho

[subtle perch]

I really hope harness will help me, but i doubt. A ganju and I am done, even with potion

[leaden elbow]

anyone know a mod to have camera shake at like a third or half of what it is in the default game? the game's default is wayy too much but i still like camera shake in general

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[cosmic igloo]

with gjall, wait for it's fireballs, dodge it and then go under it's belly. spam spear throw

u can atgeir spin the ticks it drops

make sure you're fighting on flat ground

[long locust]

in the mistlands

[cosmic igloo]

ya it can be tough

[long locust]

the much easier option being to just shoot it in the gjallsack with a bow or crossbow

[random kayak]

Just cool off

[shy marlin]

so play on easy

[random kayak]

It's a single player game so if you're not having fun just tweak it

[gray sand]

I can't cool off. My cape gives me Frost Resist 😏

[random kayak]

But I'm acoustic and I like it hard even when I'm fuming

[cosmic igloo]

well he prolly still wants to play on the same difficulty, just venting

[random kayak]

And stubborn...

[merry pebble]

What does this have to do with valheim?

[hazy seal]

oh shi ma bad missclicked

[cosmic igloo]

lmao

[hazy seal]

wanted to go on general

[vocal rivet]

Doesn't make a lot of sense there either to be honest.

[gray sand]

Shitposting rarely makes sense.

[fair cairn]

my kitkat got so hot you cant id it as a kitkat anymore
(its also lost lost of its kitkat charm)
😦

[random kayak]

Is that... Ningguang and Beidou?

[fair cairn]

that is a affirmative

[random kayak]

Based

If I could post stickers I would

[merry pebble]

You unfortunately can (at least some afaik)

[fair cairn]

unfortunately??

[still crow]

Gjallsack WHEEZE

[gray sand]

Gjotum.

[subtle perch]

meh

it's like cheese for me. But you are not all wrong

[gray sand]

Cheese? The perfectly amazing standalone food?

[paper turret]

Hello vikings! Anyone aware of planned cooking skill experience changes? You can beat the game two times with the same character and still won't have 100 in cooking

[vocal rivet]

You can 'beat' the game and not get 100 levels in every skill. I don't see the issue.

[kindred bronze]

well... not getting to 100 would be easy 😄 just die if you are at 99 😄 But I think you won't hit even 60 if it's not your first play through and if you are playing on your own

[leaden elbow]

guys is fenris good, just made some lvl 3/hood2 armor for the sake of trying it out but im worried it would be too much of a difference in terms of armor in combat. how large of a damage reduction difference is 44 vs 76 with full silver?

[vocal rivet]

Roughly 32.

[paper turret]

the point is during normal play you get 100 in lots of skills - i.e. on my current playthrough I haven't reached ashlands (still on mistlands) and already have 100 in running, jumping and pick axe. Meanwhile cooking is 21 - this is ridiculous

[leaden elbow]

haha i meant in %

[vocal rivet]

I don't think I've ever topped out a skill except maybe running and jumping.

[nocturne wolf]

The effectiveness of armor depends on the strength of the attack so you can't easily get an accurate percentage

Just know that you'll be taking more damage but can avoid it more easily too

[leaden elbow]

thats fair. so uh, big difference, much more careful than before, or neglibile cus i have more movement and i do parries anyway

[vocal rivet]

My Block skill is 1 and it annoys me.

[paper turret]

maybe you rush too much. I usually don't, also doing no death playthroughs

[kindred bronze]

let an enemy hit you 10 times with both sets and make an excel-list 😄

[leaden elbow]

also it looks cooler lol

[vocal rivet]

Rush? Not remotely.

[leaden elbow]

valheim might be the first game im casually still in the silver age from day 150-270 by choice

with betterUI my player level (i think its just the skills averaged out) is 25

[paper turret]

and what's your cooking skill level BTW?

[leaden elbow]

lemme check

[kindred bronze]

I started a new world with my existing char (just vanished the recipes)... So I started with axe and mace at about 30-35. Right now I'm in the plains and still don't have above 60 😄 wont hit 100 with them during the 2nd playthrough 😄

[paper turret]

you can hit 100 in any combat skill on a single playthrough, just try to fight enemies. At least that's what I do

[leaden elbow]

i do all the cooking in the world (crafting too, and building)
haha 691 crafts (and 14k builds), and oh goddamn 3000 kills what the fuck that many?

[vocal rivet]

If you want, sure. I've never bothered. Skills are vastly overrated.

[leaden elbow]

aha, cooking is only 12

[river jewel]

So u want me to reduce you on what u text in a discord thread?

[leaden elbow]

far from it.

[vocal rivet]

I'm sorry, I can't parse that sentence at all.

[kindred bronze]

I play on normal. So they try to hit me, I block, they are stagged, I hit them once, they die 😄

[vocal rivet]

Oh, no, I think most people will agree.

[paper turret]

this is what I'm talking about. It's even harder than fishing, my fishing is 25 in something around 2 hours IRL

[leaden elbow]

fishing... 6. ive caught like 10 fish.

cooking skill only 12, while i literally made barrels of food for me and my sister

[kindred bronze]

high skill! I got 2 😄

[paper turret]

I got 60 bow just before getting mistlands magic equipment, but I actually shot everything

[leaden elbow]

okay so apart from fenris movement n shit is there even a point to using bare hands cus of the +14 buff

[paper turret]

On normal, on hard and very hard skills will grow even faster

[leaden elbow]

very satisfying killing greylings tho

[kindred bronze]

Hm... next playthrough will be with knives since I never did that. Knives are at 1 so I'll let you know if I hit 100 at any time 😄

[vocal rivet]

A lot of people swear by the light armour route. I only wear heavy so can't comment.

[leaden elbow]

eh ill go light for a little bit and see if it does me any good

[shy marlin]

you can always mix and match

set bonus of fenris/root gear isn't particularly strong

[leaden elbow]

nu uh

it looks cool

root doesnt

[river jewel]

u said that my understanding in the difference of texting and talking with a person is pedantry. so u find it normal to reduce ppl on chat messages?

[leaden elbow]

ive got a root harnesk but i dont wanna use it i hate how it looks

[vocal rivet]

What do you mean by reducing in this context?

[trail pelican]

it'll grow on you

[leaden elbow]

is that a pun

[trail pelican]

mmmmayyyyyybbbbeeeeee

[vocal rivet]

Heh, that'd be scary. If the roots kept growing.

[river jewel]

reducing like breaking down a character on whats texted. like i initally was like u seem to be emotionally cold when i text with u but it could be a difference in a talk with u

[leaden elbow]

GET OUT 🗣️

[river jewel]

and u call it pedantry

[vocal rivet]

You said that we hadn't chatted, only texted. Which is definitely pedantic, there's no difference really.

[leaden elbow]

its not that deep bro

[vocal rivet]

Indeed.

There's a language issue at play, I realise, but you're making a lot out of a small interaction.

[river jewel]

i dont know if its so hard cause im not a native speaker or anything else but what u basically say is theres nothing to be expected beyond of how i assume u are xD

[vocal rivet]

I'm sorry, I just can't understand you.

[river jewel]

no it isnt but there seems to be an understanding issue

[river jewel]

where do u come from

[vocal rivet]

Irrelevant.

[leaden elbow]

mr fancyland

[river jewel]

native english speaker?

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[river jewel]

yes it is cause linguistics can be funny sometimes when explaining things

[random kayak]

English is funny in general.

Tomb and Bomb are spelt similarly but pronounced differently

[cosmic igloo]

@river jewel m8 just block him and move on

[leaden elbow]

bros the real life equivalent of those english textbook british people

[vocal rivet]

Why, exactly?

[random kayak]

I think it's more of the fact that "just block so you ignore the person you don't want to interact"

[leaden elbow]

whats the general consensus here? whos right whos wrong?

[river jewel]

bruv im not angry i just would like to be understood when i bring up a point

[shy marlin]

the flower cult is always right

[vocal rivet]

And I'm trying to understand you.

[random kayak]

You didn't do anything wrong it's just a thing people do

[paper turret]

not sure what you meant - you don't know how to block? I'm talking about experience, not any particular level

[cosmic igloo]

its useless, firstly because he's almost never speaking in good faith

[vocal rivet]

I always do.

[leaden elbow]

sooo derek?
what did aquila do
i got like a bajillion slop video titles ready

"the aquila situation is crazy"
"its over"
"derek made a response"
"the derek accusations are mind boggling"
"hes done"

[river jewel]

would be nice tho i rly enjoy returning to the game and talk with fellow enjoyers about it cause its entertaining value and cozyness makes some days brighter especially if u live in a country where u have twilight weather for 8 months

[shy marlin]

lmao "It's finally over" "He's cooked"

[leaden elbow]

who then
give me a name

[vocal rivet]

What did they do? In what sense?

[random kayak]

The flower is always correct

[leaden elbow]

no seriously i found internet drama i wanna know who to support

[river jewel]

friendship ended with mudasir

[vocal rivet]

There's no drama here, stop trying to manifest it.

[random kayak]

Honestly this is just chaos

[leaden elbow]

everything is drama these days

[shy marlin]

it's been fun just watching it

[leaden elbow]

the grandma down the street tryna cross the road?
drama "shes cooked" "its finally over"

[vocal rivet]

It's just unpleasant really. I'm desperately trying to understand Aquila so they don't feel ignored and the rest are just bandying insults around.

[leaden elbow]

whos the defendant 👨‍⚖️

[shy marlin]

Love me some slop content

[leaden elbow]

slop live by mr sloppington

[river jewel]

its fine mate its kinda entertaining now.

[vocal rivet]

Whatever makes you happy. Personally I don't enjoy being constantly accused of things that aren't true.

[river jewel]

for ppl who think this is a sitcom; im basically asking questions like this is a building sim about technical functions that are not in the game and this is to hard to explain for me for ppl to understand.

[cosmic igloo]

@shy marlin whats ur setup usually when going into ashlands? hybrid? full melee?

[random kayak]

Yeah It can get very uncomfortable

[leaden elbow]

damn and i was convinced they released a new episode of the office

[random kayak]

Hope you're doing okay @vocal rivet

[vocal rivet]

Not especially. I've had enough, frankly.

[random kayak]

Cool off and leave the chat

[river jewel]

didnt mean to frustrate u it is what it is

[random kayak]

Put yourself first and do something to pass the feeling

[leaden elbow]

ah shit im missing legit context about derek

[vocal rivet]

Not you, you're all good.

[merry pebble]

Very helpfull but often misunderstood guy 🙂

[shy marlin]

Depends if i wanna go mage/melee for the run, mage I just go full mage with himmin + crossbow, queen ability, EES for food and i bring minor eitr mead + lingering stam for the initial landing + fortress times; for melee, fenris/root harnesk, himmin, silver sword, spine snap with frost arrows, SSS, bonemass ability for fortresses and initial landing, lingering stam + tasty mead with, oh and the speedy boi potion for both builds and I haven't done a hybrid run post bog witch so idk for that quite yet

[leaden elbow]

since i dont know what to say im just gonna say; i hope all of you have a nice end of november and entirety of december

[cosmic igloo]

having a real difficult time choosing between mage or melee this run

dont think ive ever done a full melee landing on ashlands tho but i feel like its gonna be too aids on vh

[shy marlin]

good luck on VH

[opal prairie]

That is saying something.

[shy marlin]

i'm a sweatlord when it comes to games and full melee ashlands vh is very challenging for me

[cosmic igloo]

ya same, mby ill try it then

i guess ill lvl bow to mby 80 and then go for it

[shy marlin]

have you tried silver arrows btw

[cosmic igloo]

its just whenever i was roaming ashlands on vh melee (when i have max gear), it felt so lackluster compared to mage. like having to care about 1v1s and using tons of bow

nope just frost arrows

[shy marlin]

mk

[cosmic igloo]

also its more bow than melee

[gray sand]

If Silver Arrows had the same stat spread as Frost they would actually be worth using. 😭

[idle storm]

silver arrows only do 20 spirit damage iirc. Not exactly worth it when the rest is pierce and almost everything in Ashlands resists pierce but is neutral or weak to frost (frost arrows do 52 frost damage).

[shy marlin]

yea i see a lotta people swearing by silver arrows and idk why

[gray sand]

They aren't good.
They are so heavily weighted in Pierce damage 😦
Whereas Frost gets so much shifted into elemental, that if Silver had the same shift they would be amazing.

[idle storm]

The thing with the silver sword is that it doesn't shift anything, it gets full slash damage for a mountain tier weapon and nearly half that in spirit damage as a bonus on top.

[cosmic igloo]

@shy marlin btw why silver sword over mistwalker?

[idle storm]

arrows are basically obsidian arrows with a tiny bit of spirit damage on top

[cosmic igloo]

just the dmg calculation ends up being more with the spirit?

[shy marlin]

uses less stamina and is comparable in damaage to the mistwalker

[idle storm]

40 base spirit damage and 25% lower sta cost

[burnt glen]

Pretty sure it does 160 in total, crazy

[cosmic igloo]

aight

[gray sand]

In Ashlands, Silver Sword is +5 dps compared to Mistwalker, but you lose the slow.

[shy marlin]

ye it's a tradeoff, use whatever you prefer more

[gray sand]

So it's really just up to the player.

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker costs 33% more stamina than the silver sword too I didn't see that had been mentioned already

[burnt glen]

Mist walker gives better crowd control due to frost

[gray sand]

Yeah... weapon stamina cost going up with upgrades is... a questionable choice imo.

[cosmic igloo]

i guess himmini helps a lot w that

[candid basalt]

Mistwalker looks cool and drip is king

[burnt glen]

Breseekir axes >>

[shy marlin]

yes, himmin for crowd control, silver sword for dps

[gray sand]

Uh... I would vote Demolisher for CC, personally.

[cosmic igloo]

would you argue that slayer > berserkir axes on vh? when roaming. since u can jump and land w slayer power attack while axes u need to commit to combo

[gray sand]

If two-handed swords didn't get fucked by the Ashlands update, yes.

But they lost their AoE potential, so they are just equal with axes tbh.

[shy marlin]

depends on the situation, just bring both 4head

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[gray sand]

Right now 1-handed swords are sort of just king because they have no AoE penalty.

[shy marlin]

i'm tempted to say sword tho cause generally for me my sword skill is greater than the axe skill so i do more damage with the sword

[shy marlin]

do you mean mistlands btw

[gray sand]

Is that when it changed? Idk. I have been an Axe person for a very long time.

[shy marlin]

ye that's when it happened

[gray sand]

Whenever they give 1-handeds the penalty back and remove it from 2-handeds weapon balance will be in a lot better spot.

[cosmic igloo]

im curious why is ur sword skill greater? when do u start using swords

[shy marlin]

I start using swords in the bronze age and rarely ever use axes because they're just a worse sword (and i don't typically involve myself with battleaxes)

[gray sand]

I started using swords when my Spears hit 60 😄

[cosmic igloo]

oh damn that early alright

[smoky obsidian]

Hello i'm back, sorry for the TO i didn't mean to be rude to anyone and I apologyze about it, even if I did feel the tension rose a bit lol. My bad, won't happen again 🫡

[tacit crystal]

I actually enjoyed battleaxes in my recent new world I played on hard preset mode. Just hoping they would grant less movement speed penalty (and a new battleaxe after silver would be great too!).

[shy marlin]

If the first hit was slightly faster and they got nerfed down to -10% movement speed i'd play with em

[gray sand]

Movespeed part doesn't bother me. Just need like 0.2s shaved off the first hit and they would be perfect imo.

[tacit crystal]

Even though after testing some Crystal battleaxe fares also well in Ashlands thanks to the extra spirit damage and no MTP.

And I know, we have Tonic of Ratatosk for some extra movement speed but some balancing for the penalty would be nice. Atgeirs have only -5% in comparison.

[trail pelican]

yeah the move speed reductions for non-armor is weird, you have like faster move than many 1 hand + shield styles with SOME of the 2 hand weapons (polearms and swords) but then NOT with the 2hand clubs & axes

which are NEARLY the slowest (only slower tower shield + 1 hand weapon)

and those weapon classes both have some utility, sure, but are they SO much categorically better compared to say 2hand swords and/or polearms to need such a relative nerf on speed to compensate...?

[shy marlin]

Idk if this will help you but the way I have engaged with battleaxes is by only having the battleaxe out when i'm absolutely going to be using it, and then the moment i'm done using it, I swap to hammer and then use the hammer again, that way you don't loose anytime and can move faster than stowing the actual weapon

[gray sand]

Tower Shields 😂

[trail pelican]

IKR

[gray sand]

Imagine using...

[tacit crystal]

I know I could just unequip it but I also like to look cool while running

[trail pelican]

when your stow a weapon with "R", so you still 'see' it on your back, doesn't the speed penalty go away?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[cosmic igloo]

the problem is the animation to put it on ur back takes time

[shy marlin]

By using the hammer you ignore the slowing down part of the stowing animation

[rotund parrot]

At this point double clicking the hammer has become instinctive for me and it's the whole reason why I have it so low on my tool bar

[cosmic igloo]

same, have it on 1

[trail pelican]

yeah that part I get, I just mean once it's on the back, you do move just as fast no?

[trim bone]

speed dont matter if u know how to roll/use stamina

[shy marlin]

speed 100% matters even if you know how to roll/use stamina

[trim bone]

yea its annoying to go slower

[idle storm]

if you have speed you don't have to use stamina

[rotund parrot]

It matter if you are going anywhere as you get a headstart

[idle storm]

you can just walk out of most attacks hitboxes

[trim bone]

but like in a fight, especially if ur in the swamp u should have ratatosk

and root armor save iron for padded

[trim bone]

every single attack

other than wraiths and some others

[idle storm]

you can't outwalk deathsquitoes. You can kite wraiths just by walking in a circle though.

[trim bone]

roll

[rotund parrot]

I don't think you can simply walk out of a morgen just lunging itself at you

[trim bone]

true ashlands is a bit annoying wit all that

[idle storm]

morgen no, but all asksvin attacks are also easily dodged just by walking in a circle around them.

loxes you dodge every attack just by walking backwards as long as you don't wear heavy armor

seekers too

[trim bone]

anyone else find the mountain biome extremely easy. i was playing like my 5th run and i beat mountains within 3 days and only die 1 time

[rotund parrot]

Yeah mountain, if you don't want the fenris armor, is extremely fast

[trim bone]

i usually go back and get all the armor sets i missed

[kindred bronze]

Yeah... but I still love it. Imo it's the nicest biome and I get hyped in every single playthrough when I hear the background music and finally got my wolf trophy tu craft the cloak 😄

[idle storm]

mountain is fast if you rush it but silver is pretty much the easiest metal to mine and the gear is well worth the effort. And Fenris is just ❤️

[trim bone]

love mining silver veins

i mean i lucked tf out and got 3+ veins and 3+ eggs and moder all on the mountain close to my spawn

i havent had to even set sail yet, all of my bosses/gear has been on the (massive) starting continent i have

[idle storm]

if anything i prefer rushing through plains. You should get more than enough BM and barley/flax for your needs just finding 5 fuling totems and Frostner beats all the plains weapons for early Mistlands anyway, so no need to stick around for long.

[trim bone]

yeah man lol i just finished up mountains last night and am getting into the plains, the only issue is I either have to move my entire base down, or run for 15 minutes straight to bring the bm to my house

[trail pelican]

if you expect it to be lots of trips--honestly, would be, given even for like a sword and shield that's like several stacks of BM IIRC to fully upgrade, and given metal's weight you can only take like a stack, maybe stack and a half, with nearly completely empty pockets and strength belt--maybe simpler to just take a blast furnace and artisan table down with workbench & forge + appropriate upgrades?

smelt & craft at a FOB down in the plains until you're done, then break those things down and move back to mountain base, or on to next base

[rotund parrot]

There's also one single essential tool that takes 115 blackmetal to upgrade fully

Honestly, living in the plain is very convenient

[trail pelican]

oh yeah definitely--op seemed to imply he had already put a good amount of work (and hoarding stuff, presumably) up in a mountains base, but in general plains is one of the best to setup a main base in arguably

[idle storm]

plains - black forest - mistland border is my ideal base location. Plains for a constant flow of black metal and lox meat, Mistlands for hares and BF for greydwarf eyes and building mats.
If you can find one that's naturally mist-free and has a few ancient roots (and a mine or dvergr tower if you're really lucky) that's basically the jackpot as far as i'm concerned.

[smoky obsidian]

I personnaly stay in meadows and have a lot of "2nd bases" but just with a portal, a house and a chest inside and everything is connected via a portal room

But yea during my first game my first base was in plains and it was lit

[kindred bronze]

I do it the same way, one mainbase with nice buildings and a lot of smaller ones with a portal for farming stuff or quick access to hildir, haldor und the witch

[trim bone]

yeah my first world i had a main base in the medows then i moved everything to a plains base, then again to a plains base near the mist

[rotund parrot]

What I do once I am done with the starter base and bronze is sail with the extra copper. While sailing I look for good swamps, the traders and leviathans. When mining iron that copper will be very useful to process the iron in place while mining more. It will allow me to make the longship and from that point, with iron gear, a root harnesk and a long boat filled with iron and some copper. I start sailing close to where the mistlands start and find a good spot in the plains where I make my final base. This way I never sail any metal back, just forward and it feels extremely efficient. You can easily beat the game within 50 hours doing it like this

[kindred bronze]

yeah... did that once, was to greedy and died with everything on a ship far away 😄 😄

[rotund parrot]

I always make a backup portal close by (often in a forest that I will quickly need to go back to for some tin and copper) in case something bad happens and another on the same plain a little distance away

It's a good way to go about it for any island, leaving a portal where you land and carrying another one so that you always have a backup

[trim bone]

pretty much how to play the game lmao

[tiny tiger]

hell yeah i found turnips

I was beginning to think my world had no turnips tbh this is the 5th swamp ive xplored

[cobalt canyon]

NLWOAP

[tiny tiger]

they were hidden in the base of a tree too i barely spotted them

[cobalt canyon]

Never Leave Without A Portal

[tiny tiger]

ideally you want a portal to every island you visit

that way you can always bring boat mats through and haul whatever it is you need to haul if you ever go back

[merry pebble]

Th O doesent seem necessary there 😄

[normal vine]

i hate wraiths so much it's unreal

i'm not sure if anyone got themselves in these situations where they fight an abomination at night and a wraith comes and starts killing you when your stamina is drained and the healing mead timer is still at 2 minutes

literally every single time

[merry pebble]

Why are you there at night? XD

[normal vine]

because the fight took me a long time

[rocky widget]

cant say i have had that problem, but night is scary time when youre not yet geared with the equipment from that biome

[normal vine]

pierce weapons are not very good against abominations hence why

i avoid night all of the time i'm a sleeper

[rocky widget]

i havent slept in like 800 days...oh and in valheim as well

[normal vine]

are you a vampire

[rocky widget]

yes

[lethal spire]

Does anyone know if there are Meadows directly bordering the Mistlands in Valheim?

[rocky widget]

i am pale, cant handle light, am legally blind, ugly, despise all living things....actually no that sounds a lot more like a falmer from elder scrolls. i am a falmer

[rocky widget]

i dont know if it CAN happen, but i cant recall ever having seen that so my guess would be no

[tiny tiger]

found haldorrrrr

finally just got bog witch yet

[cobalt canyon]

Didn't want anyone to remember it as "Never Leave With A Portal"

[trail pelican]

biome spawn conditions should be such that's impossible--per wiki Mistlands only start 5900m out, while meadows only extends at most 5100m out

[sweet bay]

VR Valheim IRL (fun short video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nmFO59WtkM

[nocturne wolf]

Which biome did he get that two-star cat from? I want one

[sweet bay]

Looks like meadows, but I heard a Troll and also some clues of swamp.
So ... in the first 3 biomes )

[cobalt canyon]

What's the entire world length? 10K?

[cosmic summit]

Do lox have to stay in the plaina to breed?

I have a small patch of plains north of my base. I'm thinking of taming lox their and riding them south to my meadows base

[sand night]

do portals lose materials when destroyed? a wolf destroyed my tp and i lost my surtling cores

[cobalt canyon]

Shouldn't

Maybe they rolled?

[sand night]

nope pretty flat rock and i checked everywheree

[silver magnet]

Hail, brave kin! Might ye permit a fledgling warrior to tread thy sacred grounds? Though my hands be uncalloused and my axe yet unbloodied, my heart burns with the fire of battle. If it please thee, I would learn under thy wise and valiant guidance in thy realm of Valheim.

[nocturne wolf]

If the other materials are still there, the cores should be too

[sand night]

hm thats weirds, maybe they glitched

[silver magnet]

O valiant kin, I hope my words have reached thy hearths. If it be silence for thought or council thou seeketh, I shall await with the patience of a seedling beneath Yggdrasil. Yet if the answer be nay, fear not to speak it; I shall respect thy will. What say ye?

[trail pelican]

says world radius is 10.5km

[sweet socket]

No, but if it was destroyed for awhile the world cleans up materials not in a base

[trail pelican]

so that's 21km all the way across (diameter)

[odd helm]

Brave viking, ye may find many a kindred soul and a vast selection of realms to join within the chambers of #1024264966712340510, may ye have the best of luck in thy quest!

[silver magnet]

Aye, kind and generous one! Thy words are as a guiding star upon a foggy sea. I shall seek the chambers of ⁠servers-and-lfg and gather my fate among the many who wander there. May Odin’s winds fill thy sails with favor, and may fortune shine upon thee in all thy quests!

[merry pebble]

Fancy 👀

[simple pecan]

why is it when im looking for serpents i find absolutely none and when im just trying to go to a new island i find like 3 every time

the luck gods have decided against me i guess

[normal vine]

have you guys ever seen 1 or 2 star leeches

[vocal rivet]

Don't forget they only spawn at night or during storms.

[simple pecan]

I only look for them at knight anyway

i just always get screwed by the wind ;-;

[normal vine]

just sail for them at night in oceans and it's a guaranteed spawn if you wait long enough

just make sure it's not a black forest/meadow shore or anything alike

[cobalt canyon]

Plenty

[normal vine]

i've got done with my swamp playthrough yesterday and i haven't seen a single one when i've been there

[cobalt canyon]

Green & purple tints

[normal vine]

yeah, haven't seen a single star or 2 star leech, not a single one

i still remember from my older playthroughs how 2 star leeches would instakill bronze-tier armour

not sure how valheim did it but it's become my most-favourite game of all time

and yet I am very picky about my games

i just don't think there's a survival game like valheim

[cobalt canyon]

I think it's that it decides to relax a lot

[normal vine]

it's very calming

i've had my friends tell me that valheim is very grindy but i think that's a good thing

it makes gameplay very rewarding

the fact that you have to take a ship through the seas to transport ore to smelt is calming aswell

[cobalt canyon]

Personally I prefer to cut out a lot of the grind, like to focus on my exploration

Very versatile game as well

[normal vine]

i've never really been big on exploring except finding swamp biomes, mistlands, and mountains, i'll probably do that

there are still some things and aspects i dislike about exploration in general

especially in certain biomes (mountains, mistlands)

[candid jacinth]

Hello, I noticed today that I cannot use the devcommands while using mods (or for another reason, i don't know). Is there any way to spawn in 2-star boars?

[trail pelican]

you on a server? that's usually the problem

[near furnace]

spawn boar 1 3

only works in singleplayer or self hosting uneless you have a mod that solves it for you.
but in that case --> #mods-issues or #mods-discussion

[candid jacinth]

I play solo most of the time but only enable server once a friend joins in. Would it need to be completely solo to work?

[merry pebble]

Do you have console enabled?

[sinful fulcrum]

if the wolf destroyed the workbench then yeah

[shadow socket]

Yo guys am i allowed to ask for sales in general chat

[sinful fulcrum]

workbenches prevent despawn of items

[candid jacinth]

Yes and i can open it with F5 ingame, but it shows a lot of error messages once i type in any commands.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, try to disable all mods and turn them on one by one to see which it is

For more in deep help the channels linked by Smiffe will do great 😄

[trail pelican]

I dunno exactly what you mean by "sales" but if you mean selling your own stuff if that's allowed I suspect it will be in the https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202323242891612230 channel

[shadow socket]

No no i was just asking if there migjt be a sale for the game since i been waiting on one and 10 dollars is good but i was hoping for 5

[trail pelican]

ahhhh--there are periodic sales and yeah people ask about them here/general chat

i dunno how far in advance they wanred, $5 would be 75% off so not sure how likely that is to happen

think the 'standard' price rn is $20

[shadow socket]

Ye ik just wishful thinking lmao been wating for one for a year

Plus with the new updates

[trail pelican]

ha no I feel ya

[shadow socket]

Anyways thanks man for helping

[candid basalt]

It is worth every penny

[trail pelican]

np

[shadow socket]

Ye ik but just kinda outa my budget

[candid basalt]

Fair

[merry pebble]

Tbh it would be worth even for 40 Euro 😄

Heck, even 60

[trail pelican]

I agree but wouldn't want folks priced out

[merry pebble]

Oh absolutely 🙂

[trail pelican]

there are DEFINITELY shittier games AAA companies have shamelessly put out for that much

and not a lick of (effective) fixes after

[candid basalt]

I’ve paid 3¢ usd an hour for mine

[trail pelican]

lol

[shadow socket]

Tbh 60 is fair we have failures of games costing 80 at launch

[merry pebble]

I paid 0,019E per hour xD

[shadow socket]

What does that mean you rent the game? Lmao

If so

[merry pebble]

I divided how much i paid by the hours i played 😄

[shadow socket]

Ohhh

[candid basalt]

It’s a cost breakdown. I bought it for $20 usd and have played it for 879 hours

[shadow socket]

Damn

[merry pebble]

I for 16,79E and played 881,1 hours 🙂

[lusty dirge]

I bought it for 10, but I'm not going to calculate the hourly rate because i honestly do not want to know how many hours I played 🤣

[lone topaz]

huh so 5 by that this is my rate currently 0.015$

[normal vine]

i literally got valheim for free

[ripe grove]

I really like fishing and I recently got the fishing hat - is there no better food to unlock than fish&bread and fish wraps? I was hoping ashlands fish would have a recipe

[ionic iron]

Cooking skill doesn't affect cooking time, only affects crafting time of foods. Is this expected?

[shadow socket]

How

[normal vine]

a friend gifted me it for free

like 3 years ago

[shadow socket]

Ohh

[azure yacht]

• New Skill: Cooking - Reduces the time it takes to craft food, chance to gain +1 food while crafting

It doesn't say anything else so... assume yes

[ionic iron]

Ah, that's different than what it says in-game. In-game description is misleading

[teal matrix]

Far as I'm aware, no, but there are some potions that require specific fish.

[arctic garnet]

I forget, are yellow mushrooms used in any cooking or just meads?

[foggy glacier]

Just mead, AFAIk

[tepid prawn]

0.008$ for me lol

[arctic garnet]

Roger

[foggy glacier]

It only affects the time creating food, i.e. at the caudron, mead ketil or prep table. Baking time and grilling time are unaffected.

[foggy glacier]

Maybe with DN hopefully?

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄

[foggy glacier]

$.0041 CAD, since we're flexing.

[azure yacht]

They probably wanted to generalize it... which means it unintentionally give misleading info

[cosmic summit]

Am I crazy for building an octagonal lox pen out of core wood and iron fence?

[west pulsar]

Holaaa

[sharp tartan]

WAIT
The best weapon to use against a troll is actually a pickaxe?????

[merry pebble]

No

If anything then atgeir

[vocal rivet]

You're thinking of a golem

[sharp tartan]

Well hold on now
Unless the wiki is wrong, a troll's head actually neutral to chop and pickaxe damage

[azure yacht]

And that is still under very conditional circumstances

[merry pebble]

Oh, if thats the case then i would still argue that iron mace with iron buckler or silver shield would be more practical

[azure yacht]

It only says pierce

Neutral to pickaxe

[sharp tartan]

Since it's also very weak to pierece damage, you'd deal 3x damage if you hit a troll in the head with a pickaxe (1x pickaxe damage + 2x pierece)

[merry pebble]

that doesent seem right 🤔

[azure yacht]

Trolls are immune to pickaxe if NOT hit in the head

[nocturne wolf]

I tested this recently, and the wiki is wrong. Weak points are invincible against chop and pickaxe.

[sharp tartan]

Ok thanks, that seemed very wrong but also very funny if true

[azure yacht]

Miraculously hitting them in the head with a pickaxe would just deal normal amount of damage

[merry pebble]

I will check the data that was mined by kirilloid but i believe you are right

[azure yacht]

Also, resistances override, probably including weaknesses

Meaning that hitting them with a pierce weapon in the head would deal the equivalent of very weak, not weak + very weak

[tiny tiger]

im sorry but the black forest looks so beautiful in high settings

the only thing thats missing is the terrain generation for waterfalls to pop up and it would be perfect

but they really nailed the graphical style in this game

[light moat]

Yeah, Black Forest is extremely good looking!

[sharp tartan]

yes the pickaxe damage would do normal damage BUT the pierce damage of the pickaxe would deal very weak so it would be normal (pierce) + very weak (pickaxe)
if the wiki were accurate, which it doesn't seem to be

[nocturne wolf]

You’d be dealing very weak pierce damage and no pickaxe damage

[sharp tartan]

Not according to what the wiki currently says, but it's probably wrong like someone said

[nocturne wolf]

As I said, I tested this recently

[vocal rivet]

Not enjoying the slight against the Wiki.

[tiny tiger]

#screenshots for a nice bf pic

[sharp tartan]

I meant in that specific instance, I wasn't saying the wiki as a whole was wrong about things in general.

[azure yacht]

Derek takes it personal because he invented wiki as a whole (CEO of documentation)

[arctic garnet]

Kinda wish we could stack other food items when placed with the serving tray. Lets it be used out in the open up to [stack] times and is decorative. even though it'd be weird to have a 20 stack of sausages look the same until depleted unlike feasts

what the hell is it with tamed animals and crowding at doorways and portals
and playing with my damn cart

[foggy glacier]

I know, right?

[near furnace]

Hm.. I think the Wiki was made by one of my collegues 🤔

[trail pelican]

it was me--I did it

[vocal rivet]

Certainly wasn't me, I just help a bit.

[ionic iron]

I like to help from time to time.

[long locust]

bruh I took a whole ass nap 8 hours ago, woke up 5 hours ago, went about building and exploring, and I check this chat to still see derek and the other guy beefing

[vocal rivet]

I'm not currently beefing with anyone. In fact the server is pretty quiet right now.

[long locust]

well, gonna go refight yagluth for my 2nd trophy

[foggy glacier]

Nice. I took my staff of fracturing to use up some ancient seeds earlier. Got a whole pile of keys now.

I use them like LED strip lights under my eaves.

[shy marlin]

wish i could do that all day fr

[long locust]

lmao, sounds fun

I'm on a quest to get enough eitr to max all my staves, currently "misclicking" trollstav on some draugr towers for soft tissue

[foggy glacier]

if you come in at the right angle, it lights up like a lightsaber.

[light snow]

Kinda crazy he has the energy to police this discord everyday

[long locust]

the honorary moderator

[random kayak]

I went to sleep

Wait is... The topic from a few hours ago Is still going?

[tepid prawn]

soft tissue from draugr? thats not a thing

[foggy glacier]

I think he means dvergr.

[long locust]

oh yeah lmao mb, didn't even notice I said draugr

[vocal rivet]

No, though they seem to love talking about me.

[random kayak]

Well I hope you're doing okay

[vocal rivet]

I'm good, thanks.

[tepid prawn]

does make sense, just odd to me people still confuse those

[long locust]

I don't even confuse them, I just somehow manage to type draugr a lot when I mean to type dvergr, probably just because draugr makes more sense as a word

[vocal rivet]

They're very similar words, I can see it happening easily.

[pliant hatch]

We'll know soon enough the moment his username here changes into "Derek La Piñata".

[vocal rivet]

I think Smiffe has gone to bed, my name is safe for now.

[pliant hatch]

"For now". Indeed.

[arctic garnet]

What're some good ways to block out some enemy spawns besides the obvious work bench?

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base anything on that list. Torches are good, don't even have to be lit.

Some people bury campfires in the ground, but I've not had much luck with it myself.

[foggy glacier]

campfires are good because most enemies can't break them once they're unlit.

[arctic garnet]

aaah

Does the campfire need to be lit to stop spawns?

[foggy glacier]

no

[arctic garnet]

Cool beans

[long locust]

if you're just spawnproofing an island it gets even easier, but yeah campfires are the best option

[plush umbra]

well, enemies can break them, they just don't target them unless aggrod and unable to find a path to their nearest living target

(almost all other player base structures are attacked on sight by calm enemies and thus need to be hidden)

[foggy glacier]

I meant that the height of an unlit campfire is such that most enemy attacks can't hit them. AOE attacks being an obvious exceptionl.

[random kayak]

Just making them look great would be an issue

[pliant hatch]

There's a trick with torches you can use.

What you need to do is take the 1m (standing) wooden beam and make it so it snaps at the top.
Then place it at the ground in such a way only the top of the beam is shown.

Place a torch on top of that, then use a 2nd 1m (standing) wooden beam with snap set at the bottom to connect to the one "in" the ground.
That way the beam will protect the torch, sort of making it "indestructable".

The nice part of it is, if you use the 2m (lying) wooden beams and connect them in their usual way, you will create a 1m high fence with spawn proof points at regular distances.

[wintry valve]

I dont get it, I have a plantation of barley, and I plan like 200 of them, but when I replant it I get like 40 extra barley. Shouldnt I get about 200 after replanting?

[nimble aurora]

it wasnt even an argument tho what

[gray sand]

If you plant 200, your yield will be 400+ unless you fuck up the planting and a lot of them die.

Or if you leave them in an open area where enemies can attack and destroy them.

[wintry valve]

how can they die?

[gray sand]

Not enough space?

[wintry valve]

I thought that just prevented them from growing fast.

[gray sand]

Then it's probably the enemies thing.

[wintry valve]

Well I plant them in a huge circle of stone. Theres no sign of damage

[livid zenith]

No, the plants will die without enough space

[wintry valve]

oh... well then

[visual sparrow]

Should I fully upgrade my wolf armour before going in the plains?

[random kayak]

IMO yeah

Fulings tend to hit hard but I think you can get away with like level 3 armor

Since the Armor for the Mountains at max level has the same armor rating as a level padded armor

[rain flare]

You can handle plains armor in bronze or iron gear - just focus on fighting one mob at a time, don’t fight anything in a group

But you can definitely handle the plains in lvl 1 silver gear

Again, just don’t fight big groups of enemies at once

[cyan flax]

use bonemass, not bronze. iron minimum

[rain flare]

Pro tip, alway keep a stack of wooden arrows on you so you can kill those pesky deathsquitos from a distance

[rain flare]

Skill issue, but hey 🤭

[cyan flax]

yee that and/or perry slash 🙂

[rain flare]

Plains in the day is actually quite nice - just don’t go picking fights with every enemy you see 😂

[cyan flax]

never tried bronze in plains so i cannot vouche for this. but i know iron is defo doable. "especially" with bonemass. For big mob scenarios. Otherwise, yee. Solo is best taking them on 1 vs 1 or 2 maybe 3 at a time

rolling generates iframes. use rolling a lot

[random kayak]

Very relaxing until you hear the buzz

You just gotta be fast about those buggers

[cyan flax]

after awhile u will be so powerful its more like a real mosquito lol more of an annoyance

[random kayak]

Or shoot them

[cyan flax]

kind of silly

[random kayak]

Pacific rim mosquitos but annoying

[cyan flax]

they usually catch ya when gardening the plains. its "plain" silly at this point

[rain flare]

Hence wooden arrows to kill them at a distance 😂

[rain flare]

Bronze is 100% doable, you just have to mindful of your surroundings
You are more vulnerable and you can’t really block anything
So rolling is essential 😂

[rain flare]

Spawn proofing is a thing

[random kayak]

Poke

[vital umbra]

how do i change a characters name

[merry pebble]

No way in the game itself, maybe in files? But i dont know how.

[vital umbra]

........why is that not already a feature 😾

quality life has already been added in so many regards but thats a pretty good one right there.

i wanted to restore an ancient save (feels like it but it was only from ashlands release) that just so happens to have the same name as my current main character

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[dark dirge]

is there dual wield weapon here?

[nocturne wolf]

Skoll and Hati or berserkir axes are dual wielded. Although they’re functionally identical to two-handed weapons.

[opal prairie]

Faster though.

[tribal wedge]

Hello! Would there be a reason why I'm getting Black Forest creatures spawning on my meadows base? This never happened before and it's quite annoying. There is no Black Forest nearby and I have torches where they are spawning. Is it maybe part of game progression?

[nocturne wolf]

What creatures specifically? At night, greydwarves will spawn after killing eikthyr and brutes will join them after the elder is defeated, but spawns are normal at day

[fair cairn]

and just spawnproof your base to prevent anything from sapwning in the base

[tribal wedge]

Brutes, skeletons, etc. I've been on this base the whole run and these didn't spawn before. Spawnproofing seems to not be working, either.

Honestly I was thinking it had to do with placing those blue torches that get lit with greydwarf eyes. I think I noticed it started happening when I placed them, so I took them out, but it still happens

[fair cairn]

try spawnproofing with fire or workbenches i guess

[nocturne wolf]

Are they only spawning at night or at day too

[tribal wedge]

Three skeletons just spawned on a torch lol

[tribal wedge]

Not too sure, I'll check

[fair cairn]

is there a crypt in your base?

[tribal wedge]

No, no, there's no Black Forest anywhere near

I'm on the silver age at the moment and this had never happened before during the whole time I've been playing on this base. It's not the hugest deal, it's just annoying because of the constant aggro sounds around and I'd like to know what could be causing it just for science and hoping my savefile isn't bugged :((

💡 Got the answer, so I'll leave it in case it can help anyone. It is normal and it is because of game progression. These mobs can start spawning in Meadows biome at night once you've defeated certain bosses 🙂

[rain flare]

Aha - I thought this was mobs spawning next to a crafting table or something
But if you have no walls around your base they may have just wandered inside

[tribal wedge]

Nah, I guess they appear where they're supposed to, but they instantly come closer to the base because they get aggroed by deer and necks 🙂

[rain flare]

Those bloody necks 😂

They are SO annoying!
Now they brought their frenemies to hang out at my base? 🤭

[tribal wedge]

Seriously! 🤣 The most annoying part about this is hearing them fight hahha

[subtle perch]

hi i have a question about bog witch

She's in swamp right? the same 10 spots thing? and of course the already explored area are burnt?

[merry pebble]

The spots that would be in already explored areas are moved elswhere, and while doing that they may move even other spots that would be in unexplored areas 🙂

[dark dirge]

how do i remove items from tar?

[nocturne wolf]

Use a pickaxe to move the tar

[merry pebble]

Or raise/flatten ground with hoe

[cosmic igloo]

alternatively, you can drain the tar pit. so make a path where the tar can escape

[heady star]

hi

[opal prairie]

It is a pity that you can't set the tar on fire.

[gray sand]

It would make even better moats if you could.

[opal prairie]

It would eat the fps though.

[gray sand]

Eh, everything above 10 FPS is fine 😛

[smoky obsidian]

Do you guys find Moder really easy to kill ? Or is just me

[cosmic igloo]

ya izi

[merry pebble]

She is not hard 🙂

[quick river]

she rips me every time

but im not very good at this game

[opal prairie]

First time was hard, after that not so much.

[rain flare]

I just bow spam her 😂

It’s only hard to kill her if you are a goofball like me who gets the attention of 5 drakes, 3 rock golems, and a pack of wolves on your tail while trying to evade her death from above 🤣

[merry pebble]

Once you have fought her she becomes much easier 🙂 (tho that works for most of the enemies 😄 )

[rain flare]

Very true.
Like first time you fight eikthyr in leather and he does that lightning stomp “WHAT IS BAMBEE DOING???”
Dies in thunderstruck

[final bloom]

Moder was the easiest after Elder.. Yagluth the hardest. Didnt fight Fader yet

[merry pebble]

For me the Queen is harder than Yag usually 😄 (and also have to yet fight Fader)

[rain flare]

Yagluth is easier cause you can just dance around him while he wastes time doing meteors and fist slam

The queen forces you into an enclosed space filled with bugs and the fog makes it hard to see

[final bloom]

I think I died once in Queens Layer, but man.. Yagluth was a murdering machine for our group.

[rain flare]

Yagluth becomes horrific if you attract the attention of multiple mobs 😭

[merry pebble]

Thats why you clear the area before the fight 😄

[rain flare]

I think the big issue is when fighting the queen the mistlands gives you access to magic
Magic is SO overpowered

[rain flare]

Do you do magic against the queen or punchy punchy?

[merry pebble]

Melee 😄 but this playthrough i will go for magic

[final bloom]

I have yet to fight Moder, Yagluth and the Queen again, now more prepared so I can have a spare trophy

[rain flare]

Did you guys drink your barley wine?
My group almost ran out of it 😂

[final bloom]

We drank almost everything we had Haha

[rain flare]

Moder is easy - spam arrows and don’t attract more mobs

Yagluth is moderately challenging - clear surrounding mobs form the area, stay close to him so he doesn’t laser beam your face, and keep moving when he throws rocks from outer space

The queen….
Is fine 😂🤭

[merry pebble]

And how do you expect doing well when you are all drunk~ 😏

[rain flare]

I still find it funny how you can be doing reasonably well against her when suddenly she charges at you and YEEEETS you off the walkway 😂

THAT DOES IT! Never taking this cape off again!

Walks into Ashlands…..
WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE???? 🔥😭🔥

[final bloom]

To be fair, since I unlocked the Feather cape, I never ever used any other

[nocturne wolf]

Feather cape is the best cape

[final bloom]

I would ONLY change, if they create a new RainCoat. Then it'll be my default cape. Gosh how I hate getting wet

[rain flare]

FACTS!

[gray sand]

LIES!

[opal prairie]

Unless its in the bathtub right?

[rain flare]

Which cape do you think is the best?

[smoky obsidian]

The flametal cape looks like a carpet, not for me

[rain flare]

What is your fav? 🥰

[gray sand]

Stats-wise? Ashen.

Stamina cost reduction is king.

[nocturne wolf]

Feather cape has stamina cost reduction too

[rain flare]

Aaah!
Well it has nice defence and is good in combat

But I’m a mage and I hate covering my face so I can’t breath 🤣

[gray sand]

Not on attacks 😂

[rain flare]

So feathers it is! 🤭

[gray sand]

If not Ashen -> Lox because fuzzy wuzzy. 😄

[rain flare]

Fuzzy wuzzy! 🥰

[final bloom]

Nah, i dont use attacks.

[rain flare]

Loxen boxem try my foxem! 🥰🤭

[gray sand]

It's just Lox 😭

[rain flare]

Why did Odin recruit this guy? 😂

[rain flare]

But loxen rolls of the tongue so beautifully 🥰❤️

[gray sand]

But it's just lox 😭

[final bloom]

I have one on top of my kitchen drawers!

[opal prairie]

Lox and, make the d silent and pronounce it with a dialect so the a sounds like e.

[rain flare]

Loxem foxem, bing bang boxem!
Flaxen laxen, fling flang CAPE! 😂🤭

I’m tired and speaking gibberish.
I’ll show myself out now 🤭

[gray sand]

I will overlook it if you have Winter change your name to Sildarflamen 😛

[final bloom]

Oh, I also like using Lox to make Rugs. They yield the best rugs

[rain flare]

🤭

[cosmic igloo]

10th mines and 0 vegetable

[sinful fulcrum]

Man I wish we could combine capes

although it wouldnt be ingame, imagine getting askvin cape with flying cape

giga zoom the wind

[gray sand]

I wish we never gain that capability.

[sinful fulcrum]

we won't

I am just saying I wish, let me have my dreams

Althought deep north may have an obligatory cape/armor for the coldest temperatures

I wonder if the current cold status will be enhanced in the deep north

[gray sand]

Given we don't need fire resist in the Ashlands...

[sinful fulcrum]

And only works for a few seconds when stepping on lava

[gray sand]

Doubt they will do needing frost resist again since that has already been done 🤷‍♂️

[final lily]

What is the new static movement speed bonus for the reworked Askvin Cape?

[tiny tiger]

Mountains is going really well so far

I’ve already crafted a level 2 frostner and 3 silver shields by accident when trying to upgrade it lol

Still not got enough wolf pelts for a cape and need to cook up some more frost resistant before I head back

[frosty apex]

do we know experience gains for magic skills with ashlands weapons? the wiki is still not updated

[summer hinge]

@vocal rivet pinging you since you're a wiki guy and might want to look into that

[opal prairie]

A wicked wiki guy.

[cosmic igloo]

11th mines, lets see

[summer hinge]

good luck!

[cosmic igloo]

ty

nothing

[summer hinge]

[wide topaz]

Which wiki do you guys favour?

[plush umbra]

fandom

[wide topaz]

Ah, gotcha

[plush umbra]

the only other one i know of is IGN, which has been wildly outdated everytime i looked at it

[wide topaz]

Yeah, there's just kind of a cool new wiki group forming that is doing a really good job compared to fandom, but they're not quite as prolific

[azure yacht]

Which one?

[plush umbra]

oh if you mean wikis as a whole, yea i wouldn't say i like fandom 😅

[wide topaz]

https://weirdgloop.org/

[plush umbra]

keep hearing bad things about fandom, but of the available valheim options, it is currently the best one thanks to the people updating it

[wide topaz]

absolutely

To be honest I should admit that I'm shilling for a friend of mine. But I do think his group does incredible work with wikis

It always comes down to the community who maintain the content, though

[azure yacht]

That is... Very interesting...

[dark dirge]

do u need good pc to run dedicated server?

[summer hinge]

depends honestly. I run one on an Intel NUC, but thats for me and 2 friends with no mods at all. That runs just fine for us. But if you want more, you might need better

[merry pebble]

I think the most important thing is to have good internet connection, but it should be decent one if you want more than 2-3 people imo

[summer hinge]

True, a wired internet connection with decent speeds is a must

[dark dirge]

thanks cuh

[oblique epoch]

online play is still not working after the patches? Any ideas?

[vapid jay]

Hello!
Please advise modifications that add new enemies and/or bosses
(Monsrtrum installed)

[merry pebble]

Ask in #mods-discussion 😄 folks there might have better idea

[vapid jay]

Thank you

[cosmic igloo]

12th mines

lets see if vegvisir finally

[frosty apex]

should i place smth near golem in a trap to prevent it from despawning?

[merry pebble]

Nope, no mobs exept night spawns and raid spawns despawn 🙂

[frosty apex]

good, ty

[cosmic igloo]

aight finally, on the 12th mines a vegvisir

so strange, in other runs ive done maybe max 3 mines lmao

[merry pebble]

RNGeezus at work as usual 😄

[cosmic igloo]

ya

oh wow and the queen location is on an island ive explored

[frosty apex]

i was lucky to find the queen wihout vegvisir at all

[shy marlin]

that's some real luck

[frosty apex]

what is respawn timer for golems? i tried a wine staff on it and the wine fkin destroyed him xD

[plush umbra]

the cooldown for a spawn attempt somewhere around you is 2 minutes per chunk (64x64 meter segment of the world), with a chance of 25.6% for it to succeed

[opal prairie]

I'd like a wine staff in real life, was that maybe what jezus had. His walking stick was actually a wine staff?

[fallen zephyr]

Jesus was a goon sack 😛

[frosty apex]

oh its vine, esl moment

[opal prairie]

No worries, we knew what you meant.

[final bloom]

Do i need to change chunks to increase spawn chance?

[plush umbra]

yea moving around helps spawn things faster than staying in the same chunk

[gray sand]

🎶 I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT 🎶

[opal prairie]

All Vikings all over the world
Original Mad Sevrhan pon you case man
I love how all Vikings move them body
And when you move you body
Oh ya move it nice and sweet and sexy, alright.

[wintry valve]

welp, I reached the point where I gotta fight dragon daddy

I dont even want to try

[rocky widget]

just adhere to the age old #1 rule in rpgs: dont stand in the fire

[nocturne wolf]

Pierce resistance helps a lot as almost all of his physical damage is pierce (except a low blunt damage on the meteors)

[wintry valve]

But the fire is warm

[rain flare]

YOU!
ARE IN!
THE ASHLANDS!!! 🤣
YoU dO nOt NeEd WaRm!!! 🤣

[rain flare]

Good luck! 🥳

[wintry valve]

technically I also gotta try this Reto guy too but I dont feel like its necessary

[rain flare]

It really isn't

[rocky widget]

so is helheim, and if you hug the fire that's where you'll land

[rocky widget]

if you are a swordsman, go for it, if not, only go if you want a worthy opponent

[subtle perch]

Oh interesting. So my old workd still works

[wintry valve]

This "worthy" opponent looks like a pain

[rocky widget]

dont try to block him

he hurts

[wintry valve]

I know

[wintry valve]

pretty sure helheim is icy cold

[rocky widget]

did i mess up? is it muspelheim?

[merry pebble]

Muspelheim is the one with fire, yes 🙂

[rocky widget]

oh right i just remembered the phrase "i invoke the fiery rites of muspelheim and give myself up to the infernos embrace" from valkyrie profile covenant of the plume

[rain flare]

Yes, yes you did 🤭

It's confusing cause we associate hell with fire, but helheim is the realm of the dead in norse mythose - aka it's freezing

[rocky widget]

when graydwarves bother me while woodcutting, i like to axe them a question

[coarse escarp]

I’m gonna try my luck in here lol. Any friendly uk servers I can join with my pre existing character ?

[visual sparrow]

What’s the best weapon for dealing with the mountains and going into the plains?

[shy marlin]

prolly the bow

[visual sparrow]

Actually just plains, I’m about to kill moder

[nocturne wolf]

Anything silver works pretty well but pierce from a spear, knife or bow will help for lox

The crystal battleaxe is great for hitting multiple fulings at once

[dapper rain]

how do damage calculations even work in this game

do i take less damage with a larger hp bar?

do i take more damage when low on stamina?

does some concept of crit hits happen?

why is it i can fight a morgen at half satiation relatively fine, but struggle against a given charred warrior immediately after?

[nocturne wolf]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor
How armor reduces damage 👆

The amount of health or stamina doesn’t affect your damage taken.
Staggered enemies take 2x damage

[dapper rain]

i swear theres something fishy with the damage maths

[nocturne wolf]

Did that charred warrior have a star or two? They deal similar damage to morgens.

[dapper rain]

no stars

[fluid glade]

Yo I just got a 2 star boar spawn right next to my world spawn and got him tamed on day 2, is this the god run chat?

[haughty snow]

only if you make an infinite boar farm

[fluid glade]

That’s the next move, tbh boar farms are basically just food generation for my wolves in the future

[gray sand]

Remembering that one, glorious patch where Boars would eat only Carrots.

Good times.

[fluid glade]

I still usually only feed them carrots out of habit 😂 don’t normally start taming boars until near the end of Black Forest

[foggy glacier]

So I just found out that while there are multiple possible spawn locations for the ||Mysterious Locations that are part of the Dyrnwynn quest||, only the one shown by the last vegevisir in a putrid hole is active.

I just sailed way over to the original location I found, only to discover a normal monument.

[unreal viper]

hey does anyone wanna see my base rq?

just finished and ill stream if someone wants to see

replay to my message within 5 min

[nimble moss]

no - the more likely answer is that you found the location prior to the patch, and the patch reset the location

so the second one showed you the new location. It doesnt change the spawn location.

[thorn elbow]

Guys, is Valheim a good game? I was thinking if I should get it while I still can

[rain flare]

Silver battle axe is the BEST!
Legit my friend and I tackled a sealed tower, and I cleared each floor with that bad boy

[rain flare]

It is AMAZING!

I’ve spent around 1200 hours and it’s still just such a good game

[rain flare]

It took me about 5 patches to catch on that they changed that 😂🤭

[thorn elbow]

wow, what do you like about it the most, I'm kind of curious

[vital umbra]

hi sildar

[rain flare]

I love 3 main things - the graphics, the building, and just how amazingly Nordic everything feels

[rain flare]

Heeeeey Obi! 🥳

[vital umbra]

yeahh its definitely my favorite right now, its a very versatile experience, either you can re-enact stardew valley or dark souls depending on what you feel.

[rain flare]

You can legit spend hours in this game just messing around with farms, building houses, walking around aimlessly, then suddenly you find that perfect spot where the light cuts through a pair of trees so perfectly and you decide you need to build a new base cause this place is just so perfect 🤩

[vital umbra]

yeahh once i catch up to the ashlands again i'm hoping to take building and stuff more seriously

[thorn elbow]

Wow cool I might buy this game

[rain flare]

It’s even better when you play with friends - the endless shenanigans you can get up to are just too good 😂

First time I played with one of my friends and we tried sailing a boat in stormy weather - we ended up in the middle of the ocean having capsized the boat cause of our dreadful piloting skills 🤣

[thorn elbow]

Thanks I'll keep in mind!

[vital umbra]

Ahhh....haha....i wouldn't say "Better" or worse really, its a different experience, it can be hilarious but i take singleplayer more seriously.

[rain flare]

I highly value my time with my friends, so I suppose that’s why I love playing together so much

But it really helps that Valheim is a perfect platform for it 🥰

[azure yacht]

You are asking whether a game is good in a discord server full of fans of the game...

What answer were you expecting?

[thorn elbow]

Where else would I ask?

[azure yacht]

Some place that is NOT dedicated to the game itself specifically so you get answers from people that might not be dedicated to the game and could be more casual players as most people here are more into it than most

[dapper oxide]

im only like 6 hours into my first run lmao

[vital umbra]

can you just chill, like every now and then.

😮‍💨

[azure yacht]

Always am

[vital umbra]

If you believe that then it is what it is but the outside perception is that you have an undertone of passive aggressiveness

[azure yacht]

People will read and understand whatever they want regardless of what is being said. It is not worth bothering anymore. Hasn't been for a very long time

[vital umbra]

Yes yes well you act a bit coldly just in a way i'm worried will turn off new members or players.

[wintry valve]

I think its a phenomenal game. It gets really unforgiving at times tho. Like, sucker punch you hard once in a while and it can get frustrating.

But I still love it. despite certain bosses

[vital umbra]

which

[wintry valve]

I hate the queen so much

[vital umbra]

oh yes thats the worst one for sure.

[wintry valve]

I havent tried Reto but im not a fan of him just insta killing you no matter how tough you are

I dont like that concept.

[vital umbra]

(i mean thats a mini-boss but i guess)

[wintry valve]

And I havent tried Fader yet

[vital umbra]

i suppose i did die to him more than fader

i am going to tell you that fader is peak and the best fight in the game and if that sets up your expectations and your personal experience is disliking him well 🫠

[wintry valve]

That is of a very little indication. I played through elden ring and there are people who think that certain bosses are super fun and in some case, I think doing that is a mental disease.

So when people tell me "this fight is amazing!" I don't believe them until I find them amazing too on my own

and somehow im in no hurry to try Fader anyway since theres nothign afterward for now

[vital umbra]

at the very least aesthetically peak, compared to the boring queen.

[wintry valve]

oh that, you are probably right

[rain flare]

LoL!
Did she punt you?

[wintry valve]

a bunch of times yes

[rain flare]

It’s always so intense in that fight
You poke her a bunch, she burrows away, then suddenly you just hear angry bug noises and she explodes out of the mists and YEETS you into the abyss 😂

I fought her without the cape recently, and she nearly killed me like 3 times 🤣

Eventually I just had to hug the walls and pray - not to mention she likes to spew bug vomit at you from nowhere

[cosmic igloo]

if you like survival games (like minecraft) then it will be one of the best games you've played

[tacit crystal]

You won't regret it, especially when it's on sale atm. Best use of 10 euros for content it will provide.

[random kayak]

Actually so effing real

This game is a love hate relationship of torture and relaxation and I'm loving every second of it

[visual sparrow]

If valheim has taught me anything in life it’s expect the unexpected

[tacit crystal]

I love the fact there is no hunger/thirst meters to follow all the time like in most survival games. Foods are still important for stats they provide but you never die on hunger.

[fair cairn]

exactly

[hollow jungle]

true

food is SUPER important ngl. i hate going out without good food XD

but i don't wanna eat during my base building.

[fair cairn]

honey

[random kayak]

Bees

[hollow jungle]

i mean for base yeah....

[tacit crystal]

Low level feasts are great for building when you have progressed further in game.

[hollow jungle]

but i don't count honey as superfood

[random kayak]

My favorite way to explore is triple Stam and fenris

[fair cairn]

its a superfood for chilling at the abse

[random kayak]

[hollow jungle]

triple health and fenris

i don't wanna just get oneshotted by a random deathsquitto

[random kayak]

Tank Fenris 😭

[hollow jungle]

trust me you still get 2 shotted if you don't have bonemass on

[random kayak]

Imagine Tower shield Full armor triple health

[hollow jungle]

nope fuck no

im crystal battleaxe + fenris until ashlands lol

[cosmic igloo]

lmao ashlands can be so funny, its like mobs hiding behind trees waiting for you to start fighting something and then morgens, voitures, asksvins, multiple twitchers all come out

[random kayak]

Unironically I am running with the silver sword like a maniac

[hollow jungle]

that's good lol

then im not gonna fight until i get my double axes

[tacit crystal]

Good news, you can continue using Crystal battleaxe even in Ashlands. Extra spirit damage is effective against Charred and it doesn't have MTP so it's also good against groups.

[random kayak]

Double wha?

[gray sand]

Berserkir Axes.

[random kayak]

Huh... Is that a mistlands thing because I have no idea

[gray sand]

Ashlands.

Anyone who mains axes as a weapon finally gets something awesome.

Especially after how shit the Mistlands axe is.

[tacit crystal]

#JusticeForAxesInMistlands ✊

[gray sand]

Make Poison useful. No other changes needed.

[tacit crystal]

Unfortunately poison is not effective in Ashlands even if it was changed more useful.

[gray sand]

Compared to any other DoT, it isn't effective anywhere.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, fixed my statement a bit.

[idle storm]

You mean "compared to fire"? Because unless i'm forgetting something there are no other DoT effects in Valheim.
And poison is plenty effective in Mountains, plains and Mistlands. It's just that pretty much every enemy in Ashlands is resistant or immune to it.

[gray sand]

I meant "compared to other elements."

And define "plenty effective"? Because poison sucks unless you're not hitting the target that often.

[idle storm]

Well yeah, you have to give the DoT effect time to actually do its damage. It's kinda in the name.

Poison dot stacking like fire does would make it OP as hell

you can already kill non-starred seekers with 2 ooze bombs and ticks & seeker brood with one. All you have to do is throw them and run around in circles for 10 seconds.

[hollow jungle]

but i wanna use double axes

[wooden hare]

hi

would u guys say its worth getting into this game

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[merry pebble]

Yes

[rocky widget]

if you wanna spend a few hundred hours exploring the world, punching evil monsters, crafting badass weaponry and building anything from cozy little huts to impenetrable fortresses then yes. if not...then probably still yes

[idle storm]

Just broke 800 hours playtime. Still not bored. So yes.

[idle spoke]

from my objective view yes
but u will face insane grind very quickly into the game

[smoky obsidian]

If you like survival and exploring game, if not then not

[idle spoke]

and its too time consuming, you will be mining for hours just for 1 gear set which is absurd

but game itself is immersive and fun

[cosmic igloo]

what u doing nowadays ingame? 400 hours here. doing vh runs

[idle spoke]

i would say the requirements for gear is unbalanced

[cosmic igloo]

agree for the most part, but u can change this on world modifiers by upping resource rate

so u dont need to do so much hold left mouse button simulator

also there are some tricks like troll copper ore mining or digging around silver vein a bit to break a part of it at once

[wooden hare]

kinda seems like terraria

[cosmic igloo]

its more liek minecraft

[idle storm]

Building mostly. Though i recently started a fresh playthrough with a new char too

[cosmic igloo]

ya i feel that, i found the more i play, the more i start to enjoy building

[idle spoke]

terraria with more grinding and items dont shoot out cats

but its more immersive

i would say terraria and valheim are both equally fun

and imo they are > minecraft

get valheim def

[wooden hare]

i got it rn

its only 2gb too 👀

[idle spoke]

ye

[final bloom]

I love building in Valheim. And as of every other builder, we all must love farming for Tar

[wooden hare]

time for some gaming

[final bloom]

I notived that if you are not a builder, Tar is a resource you can completely skip. But if u like building it's gonna be huge farm grinding

[cosmic igloo]

ya this current run is the only time ive cared about tar

its weird that it currently only has usage for building. would be cool for some napalm-like bomb to launch into forts

like something that just keeps burning the ground for a long time, killing bunch of stuff inside

[tacit crystal]

Tar is surely skippable but it unlocks also some furniture pieces that raise comfort level so even small amounts of tar is recommendable.

[final bloom]

You are right, but I think that if u farm a single Tar Pit, you are good to go

Some of them yield around 80-100 per pit

I've yet to find a way to farm Tar, but it doesnt seem viable. Like two spawn a day? Not good

[tacit crystal]

Yeah better to find new pits if you want more tar.

[foggy glacier]

I suppose you could set up a portal ring, but it seems like a lot of work for little return. Just pop through every couple of days

[idle storm]

It's mostly useful after you've already cleared a bunch.
If you have undrained tar pits in easy reach draining those is much faster.

[final bloom]

You might have gave me an idea, because I did farm a ton of Pits already. I think I can link them together

[nimble moss]

Does anyone know of any good YouTube guides on the scientific part about blocking mechanics?

Something that really explains the link between food/block/armor etc?

I’ve read the guides/wiki etc like 20 times. I kinda understand it; but it just doesn’t feel natural yet.

[nocturne wolf]

Here’s how armor and block armor reduces damage https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

If the stagger damage (physical and lightning damage) is more than 40% of your max health after block armor is applied, you will be staggered and the block will fail.
Equipped armor doesn’t affect what you can block.

[hollow thunder]

Is this game gonna get out of early access

[tiny tiger]

After deep north 1.0, most likely yes

[nocturne wolf]

Of course it is, the next update will likely be 1.0

[hollow thunder]

Noice

[tiny tiger]

I thought they were planning to flesh out the early game before 1.0, or was the bog witch updatemeant to do that?

[nocturne wolf]

1.0 will be deep north + early biome content

[tiny tiger]

oh right

[dark dirge]

what do we do next after beating yalguth

[kindred bronze]

build something 😉
