[tiny tiger]

Use the boss drop to craft the thing needed for the mistlands then get ready to go there

[nocturne wolf]

Make a wisplight and go to mistlands. You’ll want to make a black metal axe if you haven’t already.

[kindred bronze]

I love it how we meant the same but all gave information on a different level 😄

[dark dirge]

thanks guys

[rotund parrot]

any blackmetal weapon do the job really, I like to just run around with the knife and gather the wood as I go while also hunting the hares

[dark dirge]

do i need wisplight equipped always there?

[kindred bronze]

I would stay with Frostner if you got it

[tiny tiger]

If you want to be able to see

[dark dirge]

so everyone with me needs to wear their own? or only 1 needs to use

[tiny tiger]

Honestly I recommend spending some days stockpiling some good meads and foods

doing stock checks on any resources you are low on and upgrading your gear to max if you haven’t already

[kindred bronze]

One could be enough if you stay together 😉 But as soon as it gets rough you'll lose each other 😉

[rotund parrot]

You should each have one, that will help to see better as each of the wisplights will push some mist. The ones without it would also get in trouble if the one with the light die or gets too far

[nocturne wolf]

There aren’t many heavy materials so the megingjord is less useful, there’s not much reason to use anything but a wisplight

[kindred bronze]

I usually end up with stacks of meat 😄

[dark dirge]

what arrow is best in mistland

[kindred bronze]

If you play with 2 people I would suggest 1 Person with 10 wood, portal mats and one with the whisplight. If you are 3+ choose a light for everyone except the guy with the mats or share the load.

I like frost, the slow is quit strong

[cosmic igloo]

frost

[rotund parrot]

needles or frost at first depending on the ennemy, then needles gets replaced with something better

[cosmic igloo]

lotta water in mistlands, mobs fall into it and u do extra dmg with frost

[kindred bronze]

got nearly 800 hours in valheim and didn't know that 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Wet gives weakness to lightning and frost, and resistance to fire

[cosmic igloo]

glad to help :)

[dark dirge]

thanks boss

[kindred bronze]

common sense... but I think I used to bad games which do not use these effects 😄 another lovely detail

[cosmic igloo]

ikr

jesus its so fast to get mage gearset in ashlands.. and since im on vh i dont even need to upgrade

[kindred bronze]

I tried mage several times.... I usually end up dead with worse stats and sword + shield 😄

[cosmic igloo]

just hop around and shoot fireballs

[rotund parrot]

Must be pretty hard to keep your bubble up with all the archers and twitchers

[cosmic igloo]

naah its all good

def have to watch out tho

[rotund parrot]

just dont let them get close enough I guess

[cosmic igloo]

ya im always kiting backwards or to safe areas

mistwalker is rly nice also to take out charred warriors, for some reason if you land 1 hit then they just let you land a full combo on them if you're at a good range

and since u have bubble u can play pretty ballsy

[kindred bronze]

I usually run into another 10 skeletts, 2 morgen and roughly 100 other enemies 😄

[kindred bronze]

does the bubble refresh or does it still have to pop to grant the maximum shield?

[cosmic igloo]

has to pop. and yea u gotta be aware of surroundings in ashlands, like where is safe and where there might be more mobs

also have to watch skies because of those fcking voltures

imo prolly most annoying mob in ashlands

[kindred bronze]

voltures? the normal pidgeon-things? Or do you mean the valkyres? I like at least them since I kite other enemies into them and let them do the work

[cosmic igloo]

ya pidgeon things

they're not difficult to kill by their own but man theyt just appear in the worst situations.. and they have annoying pathing or how you call it, flying up and down all the time

and u cant just dodge and they go away, they kinda stick on you all the time

[kindred bronze]

yeah, that's right 😄

[remote lichen]

At the Ashlands
Managed to mine one of those flametal pillars whole, super lucky
Dunno if its always like that but started sinking after the last node was mined, i kinda wanted it to stay there all naked, could have been a funny sight

[nocturne wolf]

Sinking was made much less likely in one of the later ashlands patches

[rotund parrot]

That will happen more often than not, it does depend on your mining level/use of power. But since it's just 1% chance to sink per hit most of the spires will not sink as it should take you less than 100 hits on average to mine the whole thing

[remote lichen]

oh i see, bless that patch
First two i mined went down kinda fast, so i probably was a bit unlucky with those

[rotund parrot]

2 is probably all that you ever need to mine to get geared up and have a battering ram and the rest you get from the fortresses

[remote lichen]

about that, yeah! this one was to finish my preps for the fortress, hope it goes well
Kinda intimidated, Ashlands has been pretty hard so far. Lets see how it goes

[cosmic igloo]

remember to shoot down ballistas before going in

[remote lichen]

oh yeah i shouldnt forget that!
Thanks!

[cosmic igloo]

np

[rapid portal]

Any tips on taming an Askvin? No matter how I try to enclose it something finds a way to kill it once its tamed

[light moat]

Spawn proof a wide area with campfires- just spam a ton of them. Prepare a pit that’s really deep. This is what I did when I tamed my 2-star Asksvin.

[rapid portal]

You can spawn proof? thank you! ill be using this

[fallen zephyr]

In my experience, the most useful part of Asksvin taming is the eggs; they can be transported elsewhere and hatched. I've never used I no longer use a tamed Asksvin in Ashlands; the controls are awful and the depth of lava pools is not obvious.

[merry pebble]

You cant really get eggs if the tamed ones get killed before they lay them can you...

[fallen zephyr]

If you're taming any of the animals outside of an enclosure, you deserve what you get.

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message seems to me they were enclosed....

[fallen zephyr]

I've never had an issue inside walls. Perhaps the acceptance of what constitutes an enclosure is the issue. I wouldn't try breeding anything in Ashlands in an enclosure that wasn't build from Grausten.

[smoky obsidian]

You put them in in a fortress, and you close it with a flametal portal

[fallen zephyr]

You're using a portal in the doorway of a fortress?

[rain flare]

Pigeon things 😂
Pffffffff 🤭

[smoky obsidian]

no sorry a flametal door

[fallen zephyr]

Awww... I thought you had some super insight into using the portals. 😛

[smoky obsidian]

my bad

[fallen zephyr]

All good 🙂 Would have been a fun exploit, though.

[rapid portal]

Do 1 star Askvins tame at night only?

[foggy glacier]

If they spawn at night, they’ll only start eating/taming at night.

Once the process has started, they’ll continue taming through the day.

[rapid portal]

Thanks!

[final bloom]

Omg lvling up blood magic takes so long

[hollow hinge]

Afk grey dwarf farm or drugar village are your best bets

[final bloom]

Thats exatly what I'm doing, but it's still takes long

[hollow hinge]

Yeah

[final bloom]

Thats my spot:
#screenshots message

[fallen zephyr]

Crossbow, fishing; welcome to the grind.

[cosmic igloo]

up skill gain rate. in console, "setkey SkillGainRate 300" for 3x xp for example

[final bloom]

I never caught any fish ever, but I'm thinking about it

[final bloom]

Nah, I'm still on default settings

[cosmic igloo]

you can do it in default settings, just use console

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need to farm skills, just let them increase as you play

[cosmic igloo]

depends on difficulty, for vh id suggest u grind ur skills before ashlands

[fallen zephyr]

At least you can't lose 5% of your 'thinking' fishing level when you die.

[final bloom]

I agree, but I wanted to build a Skill Dojo, with some stuff to do regarding lvling skills

Also have the inifity pool farm haha
#screenshots message

[fallen zephyr]

Are you Mr Valhagi? Hoe the floor! Craft the wall! (Edit: It was an attempt at a Karate Kid reference, and I've realised that most people here have no idea what that is... even if they're familiar with Cobra Kai).

[final bloom]

Yeah, I did not catch that one lol

[paper gorge]

Playing solo. Losing motivation. Just beat bonemass and started exploring some mountains (just running for my life). Games fun but i cant seem to get anyone online to join me. Is it worth playing solo further?

[rain flare]

It is - but it depends entirely on what sort of games you enjoy

Are you still having fun building or fighting mobs?

[paper gorge]

I’ve always enjoyed games like this. 75 real days in ark and about 30 days in 7 days to die. Typically I have someone playing with me but this time I don’t. Really enjoyable game but sitting in silence for the last week has been rough lol.

[cosmic igloo]

check out #1024264966712340510 mby

[light moat]

Maybe you could try finding a group to play with?

[cosmic igloo]

nvm i see u've done a post already

[rain flare]

Yeah I get that man
Solo play is rough if you really enjoy playing with other people

Had exactly the same thoughts when my friends stop playing

[paper gorge]

Ya I put two post up. Either they want me to join a server or no one is interested. Dont blame them but I thought I’d at least get one person by now.

[light moat]

Maybe take a break from the game? Come back to it in a day or two or even a week?

[rain flare]

I basically just wanted to finish the game and I enjoyed the whole vibe of exploring and finding new biomes

[tiny tiger]

Yeah if you aren’t having fun solo then don’t try force it, have a break and come back to it when you feel ready, you could listen to your fav music while you play to break the silence

[paper gorge]

Ya typically got music going. Just can’t go on lol. Dont want to stop since im stuck home for this month.

Might have too take a break at this point so I don’t burn out

[cosmic igloo]

what ingame struggles do u have? except for being solo

[rain flare]

It’s a good idea to just take a little rest

[tiny tiger]

You could also try engaging with other parts of the game and try combining tasks you can do at the same time

Fishing with serpent hunting goes well together I think

[rain flare]

It’s so helpful to just let yourself recognise when you don’t want to do something - don’t push it
Just enjoy the game and play something else when you’ve had enough

It’s like eating cake - love eating it but you can’t eat it 24/7

[paper gorge]

None really. Just the time to everything solo is long. I like to fully gear up and fill my chest so later if I need something it’s easy to grab. Only really problem was bonemass but I found out blunt is the way to go and beat him a few hours ago

[paper gorge]

Very true

HEYYY SOMEONES INTERESTED LETS GOOOO lol

[cosmic igloo]

you can up resource rate on world modifiers if u want resource gathered feel of a duo

[rain flare]

Awesome! 🔥❤️🔥

[paper gorge]

Ya I have for that reason lol.

[cosmic igloo]

ah alright

[rocky widget]

NA sadly, i tried playing with americans once. it didnt go well (not because of the people but the lag man)

[tame mirage]

What do you guys think the boss of the deep north will be? I think it could either be the winter child, Loki, or Fenrir.

[azure yacht]

Neither loki nor fenrir have anything to do in Valheim

[nocturne wolf]

I’m hoping for two bosses to fight simultaneously

[cosmic igloo]

ya im assuming something with the winter child

iirc fader's kingdom was fine until the winter child corrupted him, so that child aint up to no good

[rocky widget]

children in a nutshell

[cosmic igloo]

💯

[tame mirage]

And then maybe the final boss will be at spawn

once defeated, credits roll

[tacit crystal]

Or a portal appears in spawn point after returning the boss trophy to the sacrificial stone.

[tame mirage]

yeah there is that stone in the center at spawn

the one you are dropped onto during the intro

Maybe the yggdrasil tree will be part of the ending

idk i hope they cook cause im beyond excited

[nocturne wolf]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Munin
An unused text (general10) mentions a great bridge, that Odin will send when the forsaken are killed. There’s no guarantee the ending will feature this because the text is unused, but it’s a possibility, at least

[final bloom]

And obliterate my whole base

I guess I wont need, cuz if I win Odin will take me to Valhalla, and if I die, well, I died

Dead viking need no house

[tame mirage]

Oh yeah trueee

[fiery jetty]

you guys are probably a bit biased but do yall think the games worth it? Like ill buy it if yall really think so

[tame mirage]

Personally, it’s my favorite survival game, so absolutely

[merry pebble]

I mean, i got nearly 900 hours on it for not even 20 Euro 😄 so very worth it in my opinion

[fiery jetty]

what if youve got no one to play it with

[vital umbra]

its solo first and foremost

[fiery jetty]

10 euro's cause of black week

[merry pebble]

Then you will get even better deal than me 😉

[vital umbra]

coop is optional and sometimes fun, for those of us like me who don't really care for that experience it is amazing in solo.

[fiery jetty]

damn alright, are there any npc's or companions in the game?

cause i saw that you can build like villages in the game so

[tame mirage]

Sort of, there’s a few traders scattered around the map

[vital umbra]

3 traders, some other outposts in the outskirts of teh map, some tameable animals.

[merry pebble]

NPCs yes, traders, companions... Not so much, but there are guy that are friendly with you untill you attack them or touch their suff that will fight mobs with you

[tame mirage]

Yeah there’s are some creatures who are neutral, meaning if you’re chill with them, they’re chill with you

[fiery jetty]

so, you build for yourself?

[tame mirage]

Yes, the building is amazing

[merry pebble]

Yep

[tame mirage]

My favorite aspects of the game are the building, combat, and graphics

[vital umbra]

you can't make villages and fill them with people if thats what you're insinuation

[tame mirage]

And that the whole game is only 1.5GB for how much content there is

[trim bone]

how lucky is this world? so far first 4 bosses and all 3 traders on starting island

[tame mirage]

Damn that’s crazy

must be a big island if bonemass is on there

[trim bone]

check ur dms ill send screanshot

[cosmic igloo]

they should double cost of vine staff cast tbh

eitr cast cost

its ridiculous that u can just pump out 6 vines and each do 300+ dmg per hit

old news but ye

[merry pebble]

Add that to suggestions if you want, but i doubt people will like it 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

ya

i mean its fun tho, like its fun to be OP

[merry pebble]

I say that because we already had the nerfed version of it 😉

[cosmic igloo]

oh i didnt play w that one i think

[merry pebble]

It was in ashlands ptb

[cosmic igloo]

aight ya def didnt then

[wooden hare]

i just bought it xD haven’t gotten a real chance to play tho. i’m sure it’s worth the sale price

[fiery jetty]

ill buy it tomorrow when my refunds pend 😭

[wooden hare]

wish my friends would buy this game tho

they sleeping on it

[merry pebble]

Both of you welcome to the land of dead vikings 😄 (or at least one of you for now xD)

[fiery jetty]

i like how most of the negative reviews are people with atleast 50+ hours on it

[cosmic igloo]

like the dmg of the vines is fine, just having 6x up at all times is a bit much

[fiery jetty]

i saw a guy leaving a negative review and he had 900 hours

[wooden hare]

thanks xD

[fiery jetty]

wow some guy has 10k hours

[rocky widget]

absolutely worth, id even say youre getting one heck of a deal, even without the sale

[fiery jetty]

this games gotta be amazing

[rocky widget]

granted only if you like survival crafting games

[wooden hare]

i’m just gonna be comparing it to terraria prolly

[fiery jetty]

THEYRE SO DIFFERENT THOUGH

or i guess in a sense not really but still

[cosmic igloo]

its like minecraft

[fiery jetty]

minecraft gets boring eventually tho

[wooden hare]

we shall see

[cosmic igloo]

ive played some terraria as well, i dont instinctively see the similarity

id say its like minecraft but with more of a progression system? idk

[fiery jetty]

open world survival, boss fights, lots of monsters and enemies, free building, expansive armor and tool crafting tree

[wooden hare]

chop down trees, get stronger, mine, go kill bosses

[cosmic igloo]

ya true

[fiery jetty]

hit tree with axe
tree hits back
die

10/10

[cosmic igloo]

smth like that ya

[rocky widget]

ah the valheim initiation ritual

[tacit crystal]

It's the rite of passage.

[wooden hare]

wait what. the tree hits back? 😭

[fiery jetty]

we'll find out

hell yeah not even any dlc

[merry pebble]

Only if you are not paying attention~

[wooden hare]

yessirrr 🔥🔥
and 2gbs

[fiery jetty]

kinda bothers me that the size is so small

cause how you gonna have such an expansive game and its not even bigger than a 2 minute video

[wooden hare]

low poly and good optimization

[fiery jetty]

fair enough, i guess ill see tomorrow

[cosmic igloo]

current endgame biome has some optimization issues but ya its good

[fiery jetty]

I really want to play it right now though

oh yeah wait the steam refund might even take longer than like 12 hours

i just refunded some stuff

[wooden hare]

rip

at least the sales gonna stay.. i think?

[fiery jetty]

yeah

[tacit crystal]

Aren't sales up until 4th of December.

[fiery jetty]

till' 3rd of dec

[cosmic igloo]

any1 here still bothering w battering ram? i found its so easy to just put up a ladder just mine under the center tower

i wonder if its faster too

and if you're a mage its even easier since u can summon in trolls

[merry pebble]

For the center tower yes, i use it, but to get into the fortress i use ladders

[cosmic igloo]

feels so ghetto lmao but its so easy

[rocky widget]

if the terrain is right you can just jump into the fortress, i scaled the spikes on my first fortress

[cosmic igloo]

ya sometimes u get those arches outside of the fort so you can just rain in projectiles on the spawners inside

[merry pebble]

Yep, either arrows or fireballs/trolls as a mage 🙂

[echo kayak]

Please tell me copper mining is better then it was in 2022

[rocky widget]

or just get almost killed twice after jumping in from the back cause you didnt expect that many enemies inside 😄

[merry pebble]

Still the same i believe

[cosmic igloo]

just get a troll to do it, i never mine copper manually in my runs

[rich ice]

Hah, same. So much quicker.

[merry pebble]

You leave too much there that way, i dont like to leave stuff behind 😄 and i found a way to make it a bit faster i feel, you just need to go into the copper using the chair trick and you can dig all the normal ground first so its not slowing you down later 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

chair trick is cool. i usually have like 3-4 copper deposits marked on map tho so its plenty, just guide the troll around

and i dont go for bronze armor set, troll baby

[merry pebble]

Oh i agree 😄 also using troll (tho the bronze armor is so pretty 😄 )

[light moat]

This is my first playthrough actually using troll, definitely miss my bronze armor lol

[echo kayak]

Ohh ok thanks

Also where should i build my base?

[plush umbra]

Guys how much of a smart idea it is to make a base in plains?

[foggy glacier]

I always do.

only place you can farm barley & flax.

[echo kayak]

Not next to a river?

[foggy glacier]

I usually build on the coast somewhere.

[merry pebble]

Probably in meadows near coast, it will make transporting stuff much easier 🙂

[plush umbra]

i wanna place it near yagluth ngl

[rocky widget]

me: so, what exactly are you good for?
hoe: alright, imma level with you here...

[echo kayak]

what is the big ass tree in the sky

[plush umbra]

@merry pebble do fulings respawn on their bases? 😭

[merry pebble]

Nope 😄

[rocky widget]

thats just yggdrasil

[merry pebble]

Yggdrasil 🙂

[plush umbra]

i am just thinking where to put my plain base is base building is so annoying 😭

[echo kayak]

Do i get to destroy it

[merry pebble]

Nope

[rocky widget]

pro tip: dont destroy the world tree

[merry pebble]

You dont really have to make a base there

some kind of farming outpost will sufice

[plush umbra]

i wanna make atleast 3 bases all around the map

[rocky widget]

then go for it

personally i have a main base in meadows to keep the need for repairs at a minimum, one farming outpost in the plains and one in the mistlands

[plush umbra]

problem is i still suck at building and it js too time consuming 😭

[merry pebble]

Exactly the same for me xD

[merry pebble]

The more you build the better you will get 😄

[plush umbra]

Also i might have or not traveled around 10 different plain islands to find yagluths vesvigir

[rocky widget]

thats normal, yaggy likes to hide

[plush umbra]

gonna beat his ass for that what is yall recommendation to beat him weapon wise

[rocky widget]

you dont have to build anything fancy if you dont want to, often functional is the easier choice

i have been told my builds are "too blocky"

[plush umbra]

well i js wanna

impress my boyfriend 😭 on it

[rocky widget]

when i started i had trouble getting a roof to stay where it needed to be so dont be too hard on yourself

[echo kayak]

If i build next to the black forest still in the meadows who will i get raided by trolls?

[plush umbra]

would you like to see the base we are currently using now?

[rocky widget]

if youre talking actual raids, those can happen to your base in any biome, but the chance a stray troll might stumble over your base are higher near black forests, yes

sure, hit me

[red shoal]

If anyone wants, feel free to come hang out with me in Neck's Pond VC. Working on a huge build.

[foggy glacier]

Has the cooking bonus changed recently? I just prepared 5 marinated greens and got 11.

I thought best I could do was +1 for each.

same thing happened with my pies.

[rain flare]

Yes, it was changed

[rocky widget]

i think it might increase with your cooking skill maybe?

[foggy glacier]

well okay then.

guess I'm not making 5 at a time any more.

[rotund parrot]

While doing X5 you can only get +1, +3, +6, +10 or +15 instead of +1 to +5

[foggy glacier]

Wow that’s crazy.

[rocky widget]

ok wow thats a lotta food

[rotund parrot]

It's surely not intended, just nobody care to fix it

[foggy glacier]

Yeah. 4x output is too much.

[rotund parrot]

you can also get it for meads, sometimes even with 10 empty space it will just cancel as you don't have space to receive 5+6

[unborn nexus]

wow been long since i last been here lol

[foggy glacier]

I’ve seen same with other crafts. I only ever make meat base one at a time, since they don’t stack

Or do they?

[unborn nexus]

amazing how your opinion on a game changes once you keep giving it chances

[rotund parrot]

It's because instead of being programmed to be +1, +2, +3, +4 or +5. It's +1, +1+2, +1+2+3, +1+2+3+4 or +1+2+3+4+5

[tiny tiger]

Sometimes you just gotta keep pushing until it clicks, valheim has a very strong and engaging gameplay loop unfortunately it’s buried a lil deeper than a lot of people care to find it

[unborn nexus]

i had this feeling with Sunless Sea

[tiny tiger]

the game really starts to hit around swamp for me personally

[unborn nexus]

initally, i hated the game, but after many tries i grew to love it

think my only early game gripe is bronze

mining 2 very ore sets in an area with high af spawnrates

[tiny tiger]

Ah see that was also mine for the longest time but you keep trying to improve your method and it becomes more fun

[unborn nexus]

spam campfires and make walls for example

by god, NEVER MINE AT NIGHT in the black forest, biggest mistake

[tiny tiger]

Mine around the ore, hollow it out from bottom then break the rest off instantly, have campfires around to keep greydwarfs away and have a campfire underneath the ore for 10 min rested bonus and easy stamina regen with resting perk

[unborn nexus]

one mining trip at night for a copper boulder turned into a slaughterfest of around 40+ greydwarves

they just kept fricking coming

[tiny tiger]

I imagine there’s a nest nearby lol

[unborn nexus]

i got rid of it

[tiny tiger]

I purposefully leave the nests and just have chests underneath the ore which I will with stone copper and greydwarf loot while slowly chipping away at it

[unborn nexus]

beforehand

[tiny tiger]

Very good way to farm greydwarf eyes for future portal expansion

[unborn nexus]

night spawn rates are something else, especially in the forest

[tiny tiger]

They’re only annoying if you view it from the pov of trying to mine the copper

Believe me they are more beneficial than anything, free basic resources being delivered straight to you lol

[unborn nexus]

true but their rock does silly knockback even in the best armor

[tiny tiger]

Have you considered getting a big blue employee to mine the ore for you ? lol

[unborn nexus]

mining skill won't level itself

[tiny tiger]

That is true, my mining skill is suffering greatly in the mountains atm since mining around the ore doesn’t net you any exp

[arctic garnet]

I have question. Is the mountain super windy? And does that mean you can grind flour really fast on a mountain?

[unkempt vine]

tf am I spposed to do in this game

idk how to get anything other than axe and torch and theres like nothing around me

[unborn nexus]

make a hammer, then craft a workbench and put some buildings around it

[unkempt vine]

omg

thank u

[unborn nexus]

especially a roof

[nocturne wolf]

Find some water, you can get flint there

[unborn nexus]

be sure to find new things and make the little upgrade parts for each craft station

i do advise that getting the tanning rack is especially difficult mainly due to having to find many boars/deer

[unreal bear]

some things can be made by hand by just pressing Tab, some things can be made by Hammer, and some things can be made at a work table that is inside under a roof

[unborn nexus]

70% cover, roof + walls

[west pulsar]

I really like the flame sword

[shy marlin]

it's a shame it's mechanical use is mediocre

[vital umbra]

Adequate*

[shy marlin]

mediocre is a really good adjective for it, not great not terrible

it's a strictly worse version of the ashlands gem enchanted weapons

[wispy path]

anyone else getting a lot of interaction bugs with inventory?

not being able to open, or insert items?

[vital umbra]

could be wonderful in the deep north, i think its cooler than any of the gem weapons (because i like fire the best)

[shy marlin]

sadly no, it only does 10 fire damage, and the utility from the lightning and the vines is way more valuable on top of providing that same 10 damage from an elemental type

If it was more split with fire damage and slash it would def have the potential to be a great option in the deep north

I want it to use it just as much as the next guy, but right now it's just mediocre at best

Looks great on an armor stand 🙂

[unkempt vine]

is there a way to delete stuff from inv

[vocal rivet]

Drop it?

[unkempt vine]

ye but than it sits there and sparkles and that bugs me

[pliant hatch]

No.

If you want to get rid of items you can craft something from an item you can buy at the merchant in the Black Forest.

The other option is to dump it somewhere far from any workbench you've crafted.
Over time the game will auto delete it.

[unkempt vine]

okok thanks

[foggy glacier]

you can drop it in the ocean as you're sailing.

[odd yoke]

Anyone ever figure out if it's more efficient to light or heavy attack when cutting trees

[foggy glacier]

never thought of it.

[livid zenith]

Never tested in game but wiki’s numbers that the light will be better DPS to trees

[shy marlin]

special attack on axes has no multi target penalty, so if you can hit multiple things with it it's > than normal

[odd yoke]

Also seems like durability loss is static per hit so... more damage for less repair runs?

Probably a factor when cutting far from a forge.

[foggy glacier]

was just about to say the same. secondary for all axes takes double the stamina, but only deals 50% more chop damage.

and it's slower.

[shy marlin]

secondary has cleave, normal does not

[foggy glacier]

cleave?

[shy marlin]

no multi target penalty

[foggy glacier]

if you're hitting multiple trees, maybe it's more efficient, then.

[shy marlin]

it's 100% more efficient

[foggy glacier]

but one at a time, no.

[shy marlin]

yes, use whichever attack is beneficial given the circumstance

[livid zenith]

Although in many situations it’s hard to hit multiple trees with the heavy because it’s not very wide

[foggy glacier]

wait, though. the swing on the secondary for axes is mostly vertical. how are you hitting more than one at a time?

[shy marlin]

by positioning yourself properly?

you can usually line yourself up just fine

[livid zenith]

Are you talking about downed trees?

[foggy glacier]

Does that work for berserkir axes? they have a much wider hitbox on the secondary.

[odd yoke]

Hol up, ar e berserker axes better for cutting trees?

I haven't played since launch, Iono nuthin

[shy marlin]

a good combo for chopping trees is smack it until it falls, then as it's falling you can use the secondary to hit both the stump and the actual tree, and with high enough wood cutting, you can break the tree in half while it's falling, then the two pieces that are falling will hit eachother and break 1 of the 2

[foggy glacier]

berserkir axes have more chop damage than Jotun Bane, yes.

[junior portal]

does anyone know when the yule tree is coming back into play? 🎄

[vocal rivet]

Christmas. 1 December specifically.

[hard sorrel]

guys

how i'm supposed to deal with 2 star seekers

[gray sand]

Dodge.

[hard sorrel]

i can't parry him?

[gray sand]

What's your shield?

[hard sorrel]

carapace

[gray sand]

Buckler?

[hard sorrel]

yea the smol one

[gray sand]

You need 150 max HP to parry them.

What's your food?

[hard sorrel]

i'm playing modded, with the maximum difficulty

[gray sand]

Then never mind.... always lead with that information... sheesh...

[hard sorrel]

but with 230 HP currently. i've posted a clip on the clip channel

anyways, 2star seekers always one-hit me even with 230hp lol

it is even hard to deal with the purples ones

[echo basin]

What is the bog witches name?

[gray sand]

Lola.

She was a showgirl in a past life.

[shy marlin]

Steve.

Source: I’m the greydwarf chilling outside the hut.

[fair cairn]

think the secondary is mostly for stumps that are too small to hit normally

[vital umbra]

if you're playing on maximum difficulty then you've brought it on yourself 🤷

i don't know what else to say beyond that

take less damage, don't be hurt as much, shrug it off 😤

[tepid prawn]

Roll… is what you have to do because you want to play on very hard

[wintry valve]

I dont think that you need to be on max difficulty to be one shotted by two stars charred warriors

considering they do about 300 damage

[fair cairn]

dont you get a tonne of armour at that stage?

[wintry valve]

I have the max armor value, its less than half of what they do in term of damage

While I do not use the best foods around, keep in mind that one star charred warriors regularly staggers me in a single hit despite me blocking with a maxed out flametal shield

so imagine what a two star would do to me.

[rocky widget]

i would recommend higher HP foods, that directly affects the amount of damage you can block

trust me it makes all the difference

[wintry valve]

Yeah well, here's the deal: using the two best hp food and the best stamina food didnt change my situation

[rocky widget]

i once got oneshotted through a block by a 2* seeker cause i was running 1 health and 2 stamina foods. came back with 2 health 1 stamina and the big boy suddenly wasnt so big anymore, couldnt even stagger me

[wintry valve]

Note that perhaps that at the time, I wasnt using flametal armor. I dont remember what I had. But it shouldnt matter because I had the flametal shield.

[rocky widget]

full mistlands gear, max levels before ashlands

that might have done it then, thats important too

[wintry valve]

I mean I had askvin armor

anyway I dont really want to try them anymore

[tiny tiger]

It took me so long to find turnips in this run that I’ve already got more onions growing lol

Finally got wolf chest piece still not got enough pelts for cape tho so today ima be hunting the hunters

[cosmic igloo]

himmini + special move and frostner + keep bonking back. also use bow + frost arrows

or if you're mage, just kite and keep shooting fireballs

[cosmic igloo]

no just use movement keys + shift or shift+jump back

less stamina used

also mob AI kinda needs u to be lined up and then they attack, so if u just keep rotating around them, they often get stuck just trying to track u

u can do this while walking speed

[tepid prawn]

that only works if there is only a few enemies, in ashlands sometomes need to roll imo

[cosmic igloo]

nah i never roll. gets u locked into animation also

even if morgen dashed into me i just jump to the side and its fine

or i guess, i roll only if im stuck in place and have nowhere to escape

[nocturne wolf]

If an attack can be jumped over, jumping is better than rolling. One of the reasons for this is that you aren’t locked in an animation

[cosmic igloo]

but ya 2 star seekers can be a pain on harder difficulties (for melee). seeker move set is kinda tricky

[unborn nexus]

Seeker soldiers casually backhanding you across the map even with a successful parry:

[dark dirge]

best way to get eitr? we at mistlands atm

[cosmic igloo]

seeker aspic x2 = 2 seeker meat + 2 magecap + 2 royal jelly. make a magecap farm and do some infested mines for royal jelly

seeker meat u just get naturally tons of

or u can do uncooked stuffed mushroom (from food prep table) = 3 magecap + 1 blood clot + 2 turnips. kill ticks for blood clots

[dark dirge]

is dead raiser worth it?

[tepid prawn]

Mistlands for sure, in Ashlands does depend on the difficulty a bit too, but they can die super fast there (actually stronger on harder difficulty)

[cosmic igloo]

for afk blood magic lvling yes (idk about actually using it)

damn finishing all trophies is always so sad :'( time to say byebye to this world

[cosmic flax]

how do you guys figure out the best place to build your home? I'm fairly new to the game and figured I should be close to the black forest for resources, and at a central point on the island, close to the water since I want to easily reach camp wherever I go..

[cosmic igloo]

ya starter base in black forest for relevant mats and then later move to plains for other relevant mats

[merry pebble]

Meadows near coast and BF, not right next to black forest or in it as taht will mean you have enemies constantly attacking you

[cosmic igloo]

thing is u want enemies to keep attacking because u want the mats from them (stone, wood, eyes)

[rain flare]

How high is your block skill level?

[merry pebble]

Thats easy to get with just exploring the black forest

[cosmic igloo]

ya but u have to go out ur way to do that, u would passively just get it if u based there

also u are closer to a lot of wood + copper deposits + tin deposits

[merry pebble]

Wdym pasively? you need to explore it for copper, chambers and haldor

[cosmic flax]

Man it's a big island to keep running around on 😅 are you guys making multiple 'big' bases? So far I try to create some camping sites all around and 1 big base where I can focus improving my workbench, making the forge, etc.

[cosmic igloo]

passively as in greydwarves attack u "all the time"

ya i know, thats why i just base in black forest, so i donthave to run around

[cosmic flax]

Right now I usually take like 100m away from the black forest, close enough to do a quick run to kill those greydwarves, but far enough for my camp to not always be attacked

[merry pebble]

Do want you want to do 🙂 i make 1 main base in medows and then just go everywhere using portals

[cosmic flax]

I haven't gotten to the portals yet 🤔 good point

[cosmic igloo]

fwiw tho, when i was new i used to base in meadows a lot because it was comfier

[cosmic flax]

and anything smart to do about the inventory space (without using mods)? I usually end up spending a few minutes in the black forest before my inventory is full lol

[merry pebble]

Just decide what you dont need 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

ya

also dont pick up everything.. like pine seeds gtfo

[cosmic flax]

fair enough

Thanks!

[unborn nexus]

Pretty sure in meadows it lacks the "Army" raids unlike others

[merry pebble]

It still has most of the raids

[unborn nexus]

Must be lucky then

raids start off as a threat, then become a supply delivery

[merry pebble]

Armies from Eik to Yag can be in meadows, both charred raids can happen there, trolls, ghosts, blobs, skeletons, surtlings, bats and hildir raids can happen there

[unborn nexus]

Never seen a yag raid in meadows, even with 1.5x raid rate(i like a challenge)

[merry pebble]

Yeah, rng can be, as in the name, random 😄 and you probably kill yag before it happens

[unborn nexus]

Eik raid is among the weirdest due to it just being boars and necks, who are scared of fire sources

good food from it though

[dark dirge]

how many skeletons i can summon at once?

[merry pebble]

Well it is meant to be kinda the introduction to the raid mechanic 😄 its a good thing its not hard

[merry pebble]

With maxed out dead raiser 4

[unborn nexus]

True true, when you think about it, eik has no malice towards the player, he just wants you out of his damn forest lol

[tacit crystal]

Maximum is 1 per quality, so up to 4 maximum.

[dark dirge]

thanks guys

[merry pebble]

Then why he sends the creatures of the forest? 😛

[unborn nexus]

"Gentle" nudging

[gray sand]

Because he knows we need Leather.

[unborn nexus]

Eik power, still the best alongside bonemass

[merry pebble]

And moder right behind those 😄

[unborn nexus]

Mobility, defense, and travel
yag? you got potions for that
dunno what queen/fader does, never beat em

[merry pebble]

You want to know or shall we let you find out on your own? 😄

[unborn nexus]

I can do it meself

actually come to think of it, there's no clothes or potion that gives lightning resistance?

[merry pebble]

Nope, but there is also VERY little stuff that does lightning dmg to the player

[nocturne wolf]

Only yagluth and eikthyr

[unborn nexus]

And nothing that does spirit damage to the player

[nocturne wolf]

The player is immune to spirit damage

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if they’ll play around with that for deep north

Some kind of thing there turns you undead and you become weak to spirit damage or something

[nocturne wolf]

I'm hoping for lightning enemies

[tiny tiger]

Like the surtling equivalent enemy or more on like morgen troll tier of enemy

[unborn nexus]

Ain't the player already undead? in a way?
Doesn't help sausages are basically cannibalism

[tiny tiger]

Able to come back to life due to Odin yeah but not necessarily undead

undying more like

[unborn nexus]

even in a pvp standoff with silver weapons?

[tiny tiger]

Yes

spirit only works against undead enemies

[unborn nexus]

And ulv's slash fenring enemies

[nocturne wolf]

And bats

[unborn nexus]

i discovered bats via cllc

2 star armored bat, tanked a hit from a max level silver sword and died to the spirit ticks

[hollow wing]

dear god I watched a couple YT vids on it and thought I was in good shape to tackle moder with 63 armor and level 3 draugr's fang, level 4 iron mace...moder ONE SHOTTED me, then I went back and 4 wolves and a werewolf swamped me...this is insane

[nocturne wolf]

Normal difficulty?

[hollow wing]

yeah

[nocturne wolf]

What food?

[gray sand]

Her icicles will one-shot you. Just run around and you're fine.

[unborn nexus]

you're equipped to take on the boss once you have at least good armor and food

[hollow wing]

wolf jerky turnip stew and sausage

[nocturne wolf]

I always make a terrain pillar to hide behind when she uses her flying projectile attack

[unborn nexus]

but yeah her icicle breath is a killer even with max wolf armor

it's that ridiculous

[hollow wing]

the reputation was moder was easy q_q bonemass got nothing on this

[unborn nexus]

i rock wolf skewer, sausage and eyescream

[nocturne wolf]

Once she lands she's not too dangerous

[unborn nexus]

you need onions for skewer tho

[hollow wing]

I have the wolf skewer in inventory but my food was the best I had after dying and returning

[gray sand]

Bonemass is a zero-damage fight, so... yeah.

[unborn nexus]

use the pukeberries to reset your stomach in such an event

[hollow wing]

there's so little time...but I hear ya

[unborn nexus]

2 hp 1 stam is always optimal for combat

[hollow wing]

when ur corpse is right under the fighht

[unborn nexus]

more stam for fishing/serpent hunting

[merry pebble]

1hp 2 stam is also optimal 😉

[hollow wing]

dying too fast for stamina too matter...I'm just kinda shocked. I'm not even close

[unborn nexus]

yeah moder is patience

[hollow wing]

no time for patience! dead!

[unborn nexus]

doesn't help she'll occasionally call in wolves or drakes to assist

[gray sand]

She does not call adds.

[hollow wing]

haven't managed 30 seconds yet

[unborn nexus]

Ah, must be the sound from all the fighting then

[gray sand]

And not spawn-proofing during your boss prep, yeah.

[hollow wing]

the mountainside was clear before

[unborn nexus]

i can take em

rarely die anyways

[tiny tiger]

I recommend best food available to you and needle or obsidian arrows, serpent stew, meat and best stamina you got, also consider feasts if you have those available to you

[hollow wing]

no feasts, no bog witch yet

[tiny tiger]

I struggle with moder too usually

Haven’t fought her yet this run

[hollow wing]

everything I researched online said moder is easy, easier than bonemass...dunno wtf they were talking about

[gray sand]

Feasts are not "best food available" when it comes to boss fights, just fyi.

[unborn nexus]

feasts are generalist for stats

[nocturne wolf]

Remember that frost damage won't stagger so you can block a lot more of her elemental hits than you may expect
This will help for projectiles but I'm not sure if her breath is blockable

[gray sand]

Anyone who says any boss is "easier than Bonemass" doesn't know what they are talking about. As he is a zero-damage fight.

[unborn nexus]

but not best for actual raw numbers compared to foods

[hollow wing]

it doesn't matter when one shotted

[tiny tiger]

How much health are you getting one shot from

[hollow wing]

all of it duh p:

[unborn nexus]

her worst attack on the ground is definitely the bite

[tiny tiger]

What is your health when you get one shot

[unborn nexus]

hits the hardest

[hollow wing]

I dunno, what does wolf jerky, turnip stew, and sausage give you for HP? that +1 or more

[tiny tiger]

Serpent stew meat and ice cream should give you like 190 health 150 stamina right

that should be 2-3 shot minimum

wolf jerky sucks

[unborn nexus]

fella is wearing iron set, not wolf

[nocturne wolf]

Her projectiles will be doing 130 damage if you're frost resistant (200 frost and 30 pierce) and that will be further reduced by your armor
Her melee attacks are 110 slash
Her breath has 200 frost

[tiny tiger]

You’re better off wolf skewer

[hollow wing]

I'm 2x wolf lvl 3 2x iron lvl 3

[unborn nexus]

Ah

[hollow wing]

I know but as I said, this was on a corpse run because I already got killed once

[unborn nexus]

then again i can see why, grinding silver is just a pain due to drakes

[hollow wing]

I got 60ish silver

[nocturne wolf]

Were you trying to roll? Rolling makes you immune to most damage

[tiny tiger]

I think you just need to practise the fight and make sure you got enough health to not get one shot tbh

[hollow wing]

it all happened too fast

shot, dead, done

[unborn nexus]

Many deaths happen in panic

[tiny tiger]

Too late to do arena prep now but did you make a little hidey hole around the altar?

[hollow wing]

I didn't even have time to panic! it just happened

[tiny tiger]

Arena prep becomes very useful from bonemass to yagluth

[nocturne wolf]

Do you still have a portal nearby?

[hollow wing]

fair but the arena looked totally sedate before I summoned

it's pretty easy to run back from portal but I'm just running into death

[tiny tiger]

Yeah grab your shit and get out and consolidate your resources

I’d say you’d be better off going serpent hunting before tackling her again

[hollow wing]

I couldn't even get out, 4 wolves and a fenris, dead again

[tiny tiger]

Did you sleep and get rested buff

[hollow wing]

yes

[nocturne wolf]

Come back at day, the fenring will try to despawn and the wolves might too

[unborn nexus]

don't do mountains at night

Ever

[hollow wing]

it started during day but it did end up at night, true. also comfort 11 sleep

[unborn nexus]

i reccomend saving boss attempts as soon as you wake up

spend the days before that planning it out and getting ready

[hollow wing]

my last attempt I did sleep, rest, eat, frost resist potion, run to corpse, collect things, 4 wolves got me. fenris still there. guess I didn't wait long enough after dawn

[unborn nexus]

finding bog witch before the fight makes it easier, as the speed mead's movespeed buff offsets 2 armor pieces + 1 weapon

[tiny tiger]

Looking at her stats she has a 30 pierce 200 frost attack, 200 frost attack and 110 slash attack

[nocturne wolf]

You could try sneaking as far as you can, just don't let your stamina get too low

[hollow wing]

just flabbergasted how hard this is. was playing with friends and in that game we're training to do more with less equipment. my single player, a lot better equipped. destroyed like I was naked

[tiny tiger]

So you want frost resistance to halve that and at least 55 defence and then your biggest risk will be the frost damage but you will be at least a 2 shot

[hollow wing]

I was running frost resistance

[tiny tiger]

And pop bonemass when she’s down and you can go in guns blazing just make sure to roll

Draugr fang with fire arrows or high pierce as she’s neutral to poison and pierce and weak to fire

[unborn nexus]

melee moveset
claw slash, delayed claw clash, chomp, roar(does nothing)

[hollow wing]

that's what I had, draugr 3 with fire arrows. got...one shot off before dying? maybe 2% of her health at most?

[nocturne wolf]

Obsidian arrows will do more damage. Even with fire weakness, fire arrows aren't as strong

[tiny tiger]

yeah so you wanna bring the best health meads, some tasty and stamina meads and have at least 170+ health

Wolf skewer, sausages and eye scream is like 170 health I believe

[hollow wing]

I can try obsidian arrows. had health potion but again, dead so fast no time to even use them

[tiny tiger]

maybe 160

[gray sand]

Tasty Mead == very yes.
Stamina Mead == very no.

[hollow wing]

I was not stamina limited

[nocturne wolf]

Bring a hoe and some stone, you could try to make a terrain pillar as some indestructible cover from her flying attack

[tiny tiger]

Yeah just health but you didn’t really experience enough of the fight due to health problems

stamina comes in later, especially for bows

[hollow wing]

well now she's summoned so, yay. everything is harder

[unborn nexus]

the boss after her is truly a wakeup call if you haven't experienced it

[tiny tiger]

you think? I found yagluth way easier than moder personally

[hollow wing]

this is as far as I've been in the game, I started in july and fiddle-farted around until...late sept-ish

[tiny tiger]

fenris set and frostner made quick work

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth? ||Fire resistance barley wine, silver sword and BM tower shield make the fight impossible to lose||

[tiny tiger]

His moveset is easy to dodge and well telegraphed

[nocturne wolf]

||Blocking the meteors costs less stamina and time compared to sprinting away||

[tiny tiger]

moder is very dependant on how much work you put into getting a good arena or if you get lucky with the mountain generation

[unborn nexus]

Then again i prefer to facetank and parry anything the game throws at me

[hollow wing]

the mountain doesn't seem too bad

[tiny tiger]

I’ve never tried blocking them lol but I’ll try that next time

[unborn nexus]

2 star wolf would like to know your location

[tiny tiger]

Mountains is the most fun I have up until plains where it just gets even better, the gameplay loop really peaks in the mountains

[unborn nexus]

(ignore the drakes)

[tiny tiger]

Stunning visuals and it’s just chill for the most part

Stone golems are slow and can aggro drakes for you

[hollow wing]

when I said "the mountain doesn't seem too bad" I mean the terrain is not too difficult, as mountains go. There's a decent fighting space around my moder spawn in this seed

[unborn nexus]

even more annoying as drake spawning is set to the air, even if you spam campfires they can still spawn

[hollow wing]

but that's all academic. I've had all of 5-10 seconds at trying. strategy is still academic. it's just like...wow. near instantaneous death, I'm flabbergasted.

there's been very little trying to do before DEATH

[unborn nexus]

eh don't worry you'll meet even worse enemies

[nocturne wolf]

What specifically keeps killing you? Any single attack or enemy, or just everything?

[hollow wing]

Moder one-shotted me at first, went back for my corpse, 4 wolves and a fenris got me seconds after collecting my inventory

[nocturne wolf]

If those wolves spawned at night they should attempt to despawn at day

[hollow wing]

they were there in the day but by the time I went back for corpse it was dawn. I slept at home

I started at daytime in clear weather

[shy marlin]

That’s absolutely not true what are you yapping about

First of all it takes zero stamina to avoid meteors, second, you spend exactly the same amount of time blocking as you would if you just walk in a semi circle, third, you take damage from blocking the meteors, crazy

If your solution involves tower shields it’s just objectively bad

[light snow]

lmao you sprint for like 3 seconds when yag meteors and u avoid all of it like 15 stamina max needed

[gray sand]

Deep North needs to bring some #JusticeForTowerShield

[light snow]

they just need a complete rework/rebalance

[idle storm]

A reduction or removal of the movement speed penalty would suffice imo.
They'd still be worse than parrying but also have a lower skill cap since less timing is required.

I'm actually a fan of the bone tower shield as it stands.
Its not better than the buckler but its sufficient up through swamps and much cheaper to craft.

Anything past the serpent shield is way too expensive for what you get though.

[shy marlin]

Inc tower shields have a bigger blocking hitbox defense

[nocturne wolf]

180°, yes

[gray sand]

Eh, the way I would balance them would be to make Serpent less unique.

Keep all the movement stuff the way it is.
But give tower shield Resistance as they cannot parry.

So you get a true bulwark feeling out of them in terms of sheer blocking ability.

Where bucklers would have you faster on your feet, and being parry gods -> but this costs more stamina than normal blocking in trade for the stagger it provides.

And normal shields would remain the "middle ground."

If anything, change Serpent Shield from a tower shield to a normal shield if doing the above.
So it retains it's identity of having unique pierce resist 🤷‍♂️

[idle storm]

Resistance is the last thing you should add if the goal is balance. Just look at the root harnesk.

[gray sand]

Yes, because Serpent Shield is uncontested best in slot while having resistance.

Oh wait...

[idle storm]

Its not because there is already a way to get permanent pierce resist

[gray sand]

It's not because Resistance on shields isn't the same.

[idle storm]

A tower shield that gives blunt or slash resist would be bis, no question

[gray sand]

Believe what you want to 🤷‍♂️

[azure yacht]

Maybe tower shields should have increased exp gain when blocking

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe staggering through damage could be reworked? Right now many tanky enemies such as morgens and starred fuling berserkers that may be parryable are incredibly difficult to stagger otherwise.

[azure yacht]

You gain the same from blocking normally with shields and bucklers but they also have parrying so they technically give more

[tiny tiger]

I mean it seems intentional no? I think making them like their weaker counterparts would detract from the point of them being tougher harder versions of the same enemies

[nocturne wolf]

They don’t need to simply stagger faster. I was thinking that their stagger could decay a little slower so continued aggression would eventually stagger the enemy. Right now it’s too fast for some enemies and you lose most or all of your dealt stagger before you can hit again

It could even decay at the same rate, but with a delay between getting hit and stagger decay starting

[dark dirge]

any tips for the queen boss?

we are 4 man player

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a feather cape you float down from a higher floor to create some space if you need it. You can also leave the dungeon and regenerate if you have to

[idle storm]

If you use magic you can just kite her in circles up and down the stairs.
Ooze bombs and bile bombs can also help deal with adds

[dark dirge]

do we need to craft potions?

[nocturne wolf]

Lightfoot mead will help

[rocky widget]

welp, no valhalla for me i guess

i just shot odin with an arrow

[wintry valve]

oh yeah, its only at 20, that might be it

[merry pebble]

Classic health and stam mead will be of great use, other than that i cant really say since i didnt use other potions myself yet 😄

[rotund parrot]

poison resist

[nocturne wolf]

If you have found the bog witch you could also make tonic of ratatosk

[dark dirge]

thanks guys

[elder horizon]

I have entomophobia irl and I can't stand the deathsquitoes

[rotund parrot]

make them your ally with the anti-sting

[foggy glacier]

Wut? Oh, they’ll still follow you around and attack anything of another faction!

[rotund parrot]

Yeah like growths and wolf raids

[cosmic igloo]

wish there were base blueprints

[brisk pivot]

Hi! i m looking 4 a couple of people to join on Valheim if interested PV

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[fiery jetty]

still 5 hours to go till i can get the game

[cosmic igloo]

@shy marlin about to start new vh run. any tips on accessing content "earlier than intended"?
for example boating outside mistlands looking for mines before u have wisplight

like what are some stuff u do and how early

[shy marlin]

Main thing i go for super early is the fenris stuff and root harnesk just because they're super valuable, but no crazy skips past that

but nah really don't got any tips for ya that i can just think of 🤷‍♂️

just don't get hit 4head

[cosmic igloo]

aight ty anyway

[final bloom]

Any tips to finding a 2* Askvins?

I ran across the shore (Where I felt more safe) at night, but didnt manage to find nothing yet. Did two runs already

[merry pebble]

Only spqwning at night, so just continue and eventually you will find some 😄

[final bloom]

Ok, thanks!

[idle storm]

Asksvin generally spawn further inland, not on the shore.

[rain flare]

Yeah you should try and work on leveling that up - get a decent shield and let a bunch of skeletons hit you for a while

[urban forge]

would be so interesting to see devs on screenshare working on the next update 😍

[spark summit]

do some drinks help us mine faster ? like berserk or strength ?

[shy marlin]

there's a forsaken power that helps out with mining

[hearty niche]

I think something they missed with the new meads is something I feel is present in every other aspect of the game which is compromise. Every boon should come with a bane.

[shy marlin]

well they got that right with the beserker mead

but what could be the bane for speed/jump/troll pot etc?

[cosmic igloo]

man flametal armor is so cool wtf does it just utterly suck on vh?

u cant take any hits even with it?

[shy marlin]

not only can you not take hits it practically makes you a sitting duck with the -10% movement speed and when mobs are faster

[cosmic igloo]

ya damn

:'(

[tame mirage]

Is there a non-boss enemy bigger than the troll?

[cosmic igloo]

abom prolly

gjall also

[merry pebble]

Maybe Abom is a bit larger? but not really sure

[shy marlin]

dunno about bigger but there's a lot of other comparible stuff to trolls in terms of size

[cosmic igloo]

valk in ashlands also maybe bigger model?

[shy marlin]

hmm maybe

[merry pebble]

I dont think so maybe around the same if you would spread and measure tip to tip the wings

[tame mirage]

yeah probably the valkyrie

But i just feel like it doesn’t tower over you as well as the troll

[cosmic igloo]

troll has other stuff to it like the thumping steps and its the first scary enemy you encounter

[hearty niche]

I feel the troll is unique in it's size relative to the player. There's no non-boss enemies whose limbs are player-sized.

I think the troll should be way louder. Nothing that large can be that stealthy.

[shy marlin]

well troll set does give stealth but i see what you're saying

[cosmic igloo]

what do u guys use to train weap skills on? elder?

greydwarf spawner is so slow

[tame mirage]

draugr spawners are pretty good

the body piles

they spawn draugrs faster then the greydwarf nests

[cosmic igloo]

ya the 3x spawners help instead of the 1x greydwarf

[tame mirage]

and the body piles can spawn pretty close in proximity to one another

i found a location with three of them close, that was amazing

it’s only amazing tho if you’re past the swamp and have actual good gear. if you’re at bronze age and see that, it’s a nightmare

[tacit crystal]

They also usually have skeleton spawner too.

[rocky widget]

you found one of the triple spawners?

[tame mirage]

yeah i found three groups of the spawners in the swamp

so that’s six body piles and three skeleton spawners

[rocky widget]

they get increasingly more common the further out you go, they are nice farming spots and sometimes even have chests with valuables, arrows and sometimes even....chains

[tame mirage]

Oh they do? i didn’t know that

that makes sense, the ones closer to spawn should be a little easier

i feel like that should apply to all biomes. like black forests should have burial chambers be more common the farther you go out

[rocky widget]

i have 2 swamps that have 4 of those each

[tame mirage]

wait is that a thing already. I feel it should cause of mistlands

[tiny tiger]

I’m not sure, I heard that burial chambers further from spawn tend to be bigger but I’m not sure the reliability of the source or whether it was just random luck

I’ve found in my experience chambers further out net more cores but that could just be my perception and I’m swamp/mountain tier now so Black Forest is a breeze

A troll log to the face is a small bruise lol

[tame mirage]

common enemies in the final biome have more health than the first boss

[tiny tiger]

Crazy

[tame mirage]

God deep north is gonna be nuts

1.0 probably won’t drop till 2026 i imagine

[tiny tiger]

I can’t wait I’m still yet to fight queen or go Ashland’s other than in creative lol

See I was thinking late 2025 ptb and then release early 2026 but some people think it could be earlier

[cosmic flax]

Hi guys! Any tips for a permadeath run? Relatively new to the game, but always feel that permadeath is the way to go 😅

[tiny tiger]

Don’t get hit

[tame mirage]

oh boy

[tiny tiger]

Always have rested bonus

[tame mirage]

hardcore in valheim sounds awful

[tiny tiger]

Your first priority should really be hammer then campfire

[cosmic flax]

So far it's been clear sailing until I hit the first dungeons, those small corners and more mobs at the same time are painful..

[tiny tiger]

Make sure to have walls and moats for your base

[cosmic flax]

It's actually quite fun for as far as I can say!

[tiny tiger]

yeah first time early game into chambers can be painful I recommend fully upgraded shield and club with 2 hp and stamina food

And stagbreaker if you can figure out a way to get it before bronze

[cosmic flax]

is there also any way to make dodge easier? As in a 1 button thing instead of block+jump?

[tiny tiger]

As far as I’m aware no

[cosmic flax]

what's stagbreaker?

[tame mirage]

you quickly get used to dodging tho

[merry pebble]

BIG hammer 😄

[tiny tiger]

It’s the first big hammer you unlock at Black Forest tier, can attack enemies through walls and makes burial chambers a lot more manageable

[cosmic flax]

and it's simply craftable?

[tiny tiger]

Atgeir and a club weapon is the way to go for Black Forest

you need core wood and some other things I don’t remember

I think deer trophies too

[cosmic flax]

yeah it's already getting easier after a few deaths 😅 also learning the timing of the attack of the mobs helps a lot

[cosmic flax]

hmm alright, I'll go and hunt for that one, just did a quick search, seems promising indeed!

[tiny tiger]

Good luck

[cosmic flax]

thanks for the tips! Also, any recommendations for food early game? I've been doing stag+boar meat and honey so far (and before, berries and mushrooms)

[tiny tiger]

That’s pretty much the best food available to you at meadows tier

[cosmic flax]

Awesome

[tiny tiger]

Then when you get into Black Forest more and start cultivating carrots and get a cauldron going you’ll have some better options

[fiery jetty]

ALRIGHT I GOT THE GAME

should you use vulkan when launching the game?

[tame mirage]

Depends on your pc

Just try out the game with and without vulkan and see which one performs better

[fiery jetty]

so does vulkan require a better pc or is it the other way around

[rocky widget]

isnt vulkan just for specific brands of graphic cards?

[fiery jetty]

alr ill try out the game now

[fair cairn]

not really

if you have trouble with performance in vulkan you should try the other one, and vice versa

[tacit crystal]

General advices for successing in game suffice also for deathless runs but some that helped the most during my deathless runs (non-spoilery):

1. Always be rested (!!!)
2. Avoid going into new biomes during night
3. Prepare your gear, foods and utilities accordingly
4. Pick your fights, have backup plan for retreating safely
5. If you are fairly new, learn some core mechanics like parrying, dodging, utilising stagger on enemies, resistances of mobs against certain damage types (indicated by color of damage numbers) etc.
6. Don't limit yourself using different weapon types

[cosmic igloo]

man i rly hope they dont nerf mage to the ground in DN

like as a reaction to how OP it is now

[rotund parrot]

I do those but I raise the ground over the 3 spawners so they become indestructible but keep spawning ennemies

[solid crescent]

Pick them off from range

Or just get good and dodge, trust me it works, I'm in the same predicament. Although I'm on hardcore so I guess I have a lot more motivation

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers are very small so you can jump over them to get 1-2 safe hits behind

[long locust]

just flung myself across the ocean with a catapult, and I bounced off the ground and went straight through the return portal

[tiny tiger]

I hope you clipped it lol

[long locust]

unfortunately I missed it

[solid crescent]

Or use a huge shield

[nocturne wolf]

A tower shield? Especially in later biomes, their block armor is just too low for 2-star enemies

[long locust]

yeah, tower shields are best for hordes of weaker enemies, bucklers are best for single strong enemies, round is hybrid

[nocturne wolf]

Tower shields are also great for bosses as you won’t stagger them with a parry anyway.

[shy marlin]

why not just dodge

[long locust]

true but only if you plan on being a tank in the first place, and I only really see that in multiplayer

[idle storm]

I can't think of a single boss fight where a little more block armor is worth moving 20% slower.

[sand night]

tbh i cant think of a single boss fight where the 20% slow mattered

i remember outrunning bonemass poison on iron armor

and moder missiles

[long locust]

running from bonemass poison is wild

[nocturne wolf]

I make a terrain pillar for Moder because there isn’t much space for running on mountains

[sand night]

i aint crafting poison resistence mead just for bonemass

[long locust]

it's not even expensive

[sand night]

yeah but, why even craft it, its not that hard to dodge it

[long locust]

because you can just facetank it easily with mead, along with the 20 billion blobs it summons

[nocturne wolf]

It’s not hard to dodge, but with 75% of damage removed + damage reduction from your iron armor, it will do nothing, giving you much more time to attack

[sand night]

ig its good if you just tryna tank everything

[long locust]

the only attack from bonemass I bother dodging are the swipes, everything else I just beat the shit out of em with the mace

[shy marlin]

kinda justifiable on vh but yea

[long locust]

yeah running from everything is justifiable on vh

[ionic iron]

How do I activate no craft costs for my world? I didn't see it in starting world modifiers screen

[nocturne wolf]

It has to be done with commands

[rocky widget]

there is a world modifier called "no build cost"

[nocturne wolf]

That’s different to no craft cost

[rocky widget]

check #screenshots

oh you mean actual crafting costs at stations?

[ionic iron]

yes, I found the command nocost, I just thought it wasn't working because the items weren't highlighted like with no build cost.

[rocky widget]

ah nvm then

[wintry valve]

round also apply more "force" to parries, but im not sure what that does exactly

[gray sand]

Block Force = Block Knockback

[wintry valve]

oh

that actually annoys me in game because often I end up knocking an enemy too far for a counterattack

[gray sand]

-# Welcome to why I hate Frostner 😄

[wintry valve]

At least you get to hit them at least once

Sometime I parry a charred warrior and they end up flying so far away that I gotta run to them to do anything

[long locust]

two handed supremacy

[wintry valve]

of course by the time I get to them they are already on their way to marry their sword with my face

[long locust]

worst part about beating Fader is randomly seeing charred outside of the ashlands lol

[wintry valve]

arent smaller shields good against bosses anyway because you get more armor when you parry?

[long locust]

in theory they would be, but you can't realistically keep parrying a boss without getting staggered, which is why tower shields end up being better

[rocky widget]

the charred dont bother me, its the seekers that come visit you after the queen is dead. they think my walls are just a suggestion and my chickens are nuggets

[wintry valve]

I also prefer fighting charred over seekers

[vital umbra]

ohhhh i fucking hate that seekers spawn in the meadows thats just so excessive...

[wintry valve]

at least you get lobster meat outta them seekers

[unborn nexus]

my main problem with seekers is mobility

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying bosses doesn’t stagger them, so blocking with a normal or tower shield saves stamina and you still take very low damage

[unborn nexus]

you literally can't outrun em

[vital umbra]

when i recommended removing charred and seeker spawns from the meadows it seemed to be well received by others..

[nocturne wolf]

You can jump straight over them though

[wintry valve]

I guess a tower shield does provide sufficient armor

[shy marlin]

gamers when the brutal survival game they bought is brutal

[vital umbra]

i am not in the meadows for the challenge aspect

[wintry valve]

Can we block and poke with spears?

[unborn nexus]

minus the soldiers

who are fat n slow

[long locust]

yeah, imo the spawns happening in meadows at least thematically make sense until Fulings at most, and even they're pushing it. I don't like seeing the queen's children or Fader's victims somehow making the journey from the fuckin middle of nowhere on my world just to harrass me at spawn

[shy marlin]

doesn't change the fact you bought a brutal survival game ?

[vital umbra]

why not spawn fucking fader wherever the player has their house just for the sake of it after you beat the deep north 🥶

[nocturne wolf]

It slows you down a ton and restricts what you can stagger to enemies with low stagger limits and health. They’re not always bad, but very situational.

[wintry valve]

I dont think valheim is advertised as a brutal survival game

[rocky widget]

which is why i have a ballista aimed at my chickens with a seeker trophy attached so it knows what to shoot

[vital umbra]

It doesn't even need to be said how much whatever you're saying doesn't matter in correlation to what i'm saying, If a game wasn't fun i wouldn't play it nevermind buy it.

[nocturne wolf]

It is. Everywhere

[rocky widget]

wait this game is supposed to be brutal?

[long locust]

yeah there's a difference between "oh it's just a brutal game" and actual game design

[neat wraith]

anyone got a torn spirit for trade. trying to not kill the boss just yet?

[long locust]

yeah it is actually, straight on the store page lmao

[shy marlin]

From steam: A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!

[vital umbra]

Its not a brutal survival game by the way, Its a half-way survival game of mediocre difficulty with some annoying features.

[wintry valve]

I guess then

anyway, brutal or not, some features arent fun

[shy marlin]

fun is subjective

[wintry valve]

I know about brutal games, I played through God Hand

[vital umbra]

Its not brutal, Thats silly, Annoying ASS features are not brutal they're tedious.

[nocturne wolf]

Like untameable necks

[arctic garnet]

I dunno what I'm walking into but there's some things I think I found kinda annoying

[livid zenith]

a suggestion I've seen is to allow the current boss's enemies to spawn in meadows, then they leave once the boss dies. Like the boss is sending their minions to kill you (in a way that isn't raids)

[arctic garnet]

like friggin' bat raids
they just massacre your chickens arbitrarily.

[vital umbra]

Seekers spawning in my peaceful meadows farm is not brutal when i can 2 shot them its just really really annoying.

Smashing up all my shit and killing my pets

[unborn nexus]

me enjoying the mountains right before a golem punts me off it

[nocturne wolf]

They’re spawning to keep night dangerous as you progress. Sleep if you don’t want that

[rocky widget]

brutal is the 3rd chapter boss in darkest dungeon 2. valheim is chill

[unborn nexus]

for some reason blocking on a slope gives you crazy knockback

[vital umbra]

yeah valheim is not hard outside of the ashlands (and those people that play on max difficulties)

[wintry valve]

I mean did yall play God Hand?

[long locust]

yk, fair point, my problem with it is mainly just the charred and seekers being really unfitting thematically, I get encouraging sleep because I do that 90% of the time anyways lol

[arctic garnet]

I haven't played God Hand, I just remember the "godhand edit" meme.

[shy marlin]

so just sleep 🙂

[wintry valve]

The first mooks in the game can instakill you by sucker punching you in the groin

and it happens super fast

[arctic garnet]

Stone walls might be sufficient to keep seekers from getting pesky about your animal pens maybe, I dunno. It's been a while since I played at that point and I don't remember how much trouble I did or didn't have on that front.

[wintry valve]

its like DING gotta start over now

[unborn nexus]

first trip to swamp

[long locust]

and idk what ron is on about with seekers pillaging the meadows farm, sounds like a defenses issue tbh

[arctic garnet]

The kind of energy I wish I had.

[unborn nexus]

2 star bow draugr

[rocky widget]

brutal is ascension lvl 10+ in slay the spire. brutal is probably the souls series. brutal is outward. brutal is a lot of things, but it is not valheim

[vital umbra]

i remember them flying over my stone walls

[wintry valve]

anwyay its always like that. I also have a series of annoyance with this game and whenever I was sharing them, there was always someone saying "boohoo brutal game"

[arctic garnet]

Hardcore/skill arguments haven't been of interest to me, Valheim just is what it is and I tweaked a few things about it like death penalty and portal allowance.

[arctic garnet]

oh shit. right that's an issue

[vital umbra]

🪽

[rocky widget]

yep.

cockroaches can fly

[shy marlin]

Just sleep it's not that hard

[unborn nexus]

seekers when i fucking stunlock them with the shock atgeir

[shy marlin]

literal 1 button action

[arctic garnet]

I guess you could uh use uh campfires and stuff to block out spawn points, if you identify where they spawn at exactly at night.

[vital umbra]

I don't know what the limit is or isnt for their flying height

[long locust]

seekers when I pull out my magical electric 12 guage (as Odin intended)

[rocky widget]

i mean the sleep thing is true but i keep forgetting sleep exists. also in the game

[unborn nexus]

the 2 star seeker when i show them the "parry into power combo" move

[vital umbra]

I already do sleep, But i don't like being forced into doing certain things 😾

[arctic garnet]

I remember once having a seeker fly onto my boat, breaking it, then devouring me in the water like viking soup.

[nocturne wolf]

You aren’t being forced to do anything, you can choose to stay up and allow dangerous enemies to spawn

[vital umbra]

why are there dangerous enemies in the meadows.

[nocturne wolf]

They keep nights dangerous to encourage you to sleep, but not to force you

[dark dirge]

what equipments should i use as mage do i go full eitr equips?

[unborn nexus]

stay up at night to engage in a dangerous melee

[vital umbra]

And its still the meadows.

[unborn nexus]

more trash for the oblit machine for coal

[arctic garnet]

I would say by that point the armor and weapons allow one to almost casually dispatch seekers on some more easily made food items, but I haven't had them massacre my pets yet either I don't think.

It's bats that massacre my chickens
Bats are why my raids are off.

[long locust]

depends, personally I preferred 2 eitr 1 health for when I was still doing mistlands, during ashlands I did 2 eitr and the mistlands feast, and finally for endgame I alternate between 2 eitr and ashlands feast, or 1 eitr and both feasts depending on if I need more eitr or I'm just doing general exploration

[vital umbra]

Counterpoint to every, Single, Thing, anyone says about difficulty or encouraging this that or the next thing, I don't care, Its the meadows, Its supposed to be chill.

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need any health if you have a staff of protection

[long locust]

and yeah, just fullsend on mage and wear the full set no matter what, staff of protection is your lifeblood

[unborn nexus]

the first drake raid should teach you to have a roof

[arctic garnet]

I can actually kinda get that. Y'know what, if they had an option for that (enable/disable higher level biome spawns in lower level biomes) I think that'd be a good suggestion. Some people probably wanna play like that.

[long locust]

just do what I did and live on a spawnproofed island, best decision I've made in this game lmao

[arctic garnet]

Windows.
i guess all my windows should be crystal tho.

[unborn nexus]

mmm

[vital umbra]

on my last base i had 3 layers of walls and moats around my house because i was so sick and tired of raids

[arctic garnet]

oh right, this is also a thing one can do. If you don't mind boating and portaling everywhere. Which if you're importing your metals/non-teleportables via ship, or just teleporting them in anyways, sure.

[long locust]

yeah, you already gotta do a lot of boating if you play with teleport metals off, so it's not a huge deal, if you wanna make real sure that you have everything, find a plains island surrounded by a couple useful biomes like mistlands, forest, swamp

and once you unlock ashlands the problem is gone entirely, grausten portals are a godsend

[arctic garnet]

Swag. Yeah, a Plains island lets you farm like almost everything else. besides the mushrooms

[long locust]

funnily enough, my plains island actually has a tinier mistlands island right next to it that I use for my shroom farming, so I'm completely self sufficient

if only that island had a root, I'd have sap too

[shy marlin]

play on easy then 👍even better, kill the queen on a separate world, transport the mats to the current world, and there ya go

[arctic garnet]

That is almost perfect.
I'm at an explorable Plains island, not a tiny one though, with a buttload of tar pits and goblin camps ripe for picking.

Trying the "regular" approach this time with mum, friends and I: walled settlement to keep the goblins out.

[wintry valve]

Im really curious about the next biome

[arctic garnet]

Samesies. Should be the last one, yes?

[wintry valve]

Do we have an idea when we can expect the deep north to drop?

I was told they want to rework the ocean too

[arctic garnet]

Has there been any teasers or info on the Deep North for that matter? I forgot.
An ocean rework would be interesting. Sailing, I feel, is a bit neglected.

I feel there could be more mechanical variety to boats. Like, right now they all work they same, they're just small, medium, and large. no one cares about the raft. and I guess with the sort of exception of the Drakkar having a mcguffin to sail in boiling water but you don't really interact with that.

[tacit crystal]

There is currently no timeline when it will be released.

[wintry valve]

The drakkar was disappointing for me because its really a useless ship.

[shy marlin]

wouldn't expect anything in 2025 tbh

[long locust]

apart from aurora borealis nope

[wintry valve]

dang really, a whole year of nothing?

[arctic garnet]

still haven't seen the aurora in valheim

[tacit crystal]

It was teased in the latest dev blog. #news message

[arctic garnet]

I know!
I was excited to have a new ship, and it's...
big
that's it. it's just big. Not even a lower deck you can walk in, it doesn't do anything a longship doesn't except survive in boiling water, while having a super deep, inconvenient draft to run aground with and the maneuverability of a drunken whale. It's so huge you need a dock to board it without swimming up to the ladder, which is pretty cool but it needs to be a trait of an otherwise actually cool ship.

[junior portal]

Thank ya! 🙂

[crude sparrow]

That guy in meadow's glade voice is playing Valheim for 2 days

[west pulsar]

Hola

[west pulsar]

Crazy

[long locust]

good news I'm taming my first wolf, bad news it's all the way in the deep north and my main base is near the ashlands

[west pulsar]

Taming is a mechanic ive literally never used

[long locust]

I have only used it for my own comfort, I like having pets

yk, I think I'm only gonna use one stone portal in my entire portal hall just to save on space

and if I need to transport ores to another destination I'll just enter the portal name there

[vital umbra]

I hate easy, And seekers in the meadows is not easy or hard its annoying, Like i've reiterated.

[shy marlin]

i provided a solution to your problem

[ancient agate]

How do people shop for features they like in world seeds? Did people just Random a bunch of times looking for things like traders close to spawn?

[prisma wharf]

can chickens be fed vineberry seeds

[long locust]

most likely yes, but what they probably do is use a map viewer to see where everything is without loading in the world, then using a seed they like once they find close traders on the map

[ancient agate]

Thanks, I guess I need to try and figure out what things can be seen in the map viewer and how to scan through some of those

[elder horizon]

is there a channel where i can find people to play with cuz im scared of the plains

[foggy glacier]

Ask in #1024264966712340510

[prisma wharf]

is it normal that asksvin only breed when rendered

[gray sand]

Yes.

[elder horizon]

what does "couldnt resolve join code" mean when joining with code

[wintry valve]

anyone experiences frequent crashes in Valheim?

[vague dove]

No

[elder horizon]

how to deal with a 2 star archer dragr and a 1 star archer dragr in the sunken crypts when i only have troll armour

[plush umbra]

least crashy game i've ever played at least for me, think i had 1 genuine crash in all my 3000 hours

[rain flare]

Problem 1 is you are using troll armor
It’s not made for fights with tough enemies in confined spaces
You’ll need to try and get a sneak attack in and capitalise on the extra damage

[wintry valve]

maybe its my world that got corrupted

[long locust]

typically I just shoot or poke at them through a gap in the scrap iron, if you've already fully unblocked the room you might just wanna mark it down as lost lol

[wintry valve]

ive been playing with a bad ram dimm

[wintry valve]

can a world get corrupted btw, and still be playable?

[frozen plover]

Anyone playing valheim room for 1 more?

[long locust]

god why tf do green torches use guck as fuel

refueling all my torches is already annoying but at least resin is easy to get

[vital umbra]

atleast abominations drop them now

[long locust]

I wanna use the green torches to make my portal room a little more funky but the guck is really deterring me

might use blue instead depending on how they look at night

since I can handle greydwarf eyes as fuel, I've got a farm already

[dark dirge]

what staff do i use for ashlands?

[long locust]

first time or including the ashlands staves?

embers is alright at dealing with most of the enemies tbh, maybe bring the frost staff for bonemaws and valkyries, skeletts are good for extra damage and drawing aggro, and obviously you want the staff of protection

I recommend getting the staff of fracturing asap since it's really easy to craft and it's a pretty good sidegrade to the staff of embers

[dark dirge]

thanks sir

[pure ermine]

Do any of you have good screenshots of how you incorporated trophies into your bases? I'm somewhat struggling to figure out a nice way to do so with some of the larger ones.
