Exploring, building, mining copper

[merry pebble]

Farming, building, exploring

[idle storm]

Building, exploring, playing around with different weapons. I already finished the game twice, i see no point rushing to the finish.

[tiny tiger]

I’m running low on iron rn so ima do that today and explore some more

gonna be like a 10 day mission at least

[cosmic igloo]

ya i know no point in rushing to the finish but it kinda just happens naturally

[merry pebble]

Yeah, after finishing it more than 10 times i dont see a point in rushing 🙂

[wooden tapir]

not if you build a lot

[tiny tiger]

It just depends on how you play the game, I’ve not even started fishing yet but I’m planning too while looking for iron

[wooden tapir]

i think i didnt even get to the shores of ashlands until like 450 days in

[cosmic igloo]

yea maybe thats why my runs a´re so short, i build so little

[cosmic igloo]

ive never fished lol

[idle storm]

i got to like day 100 or so before i was happy with my initial meadows/BF base. Things didn't get faster from there lol.

[warm sandal]

enjoying the vibe, building nice fancy bases exploring more map do sightseeing 😄

[tiny tiger]

build paths through the black forests, stairs up to the mountains

[warm sandal]

going fishing too 😄

[wooden tapir]

yea if you dont enjoy building there is not a lot of stuff to do for a long time in a world, but if you do you can stay in the same world forever

[tiny tiger]

Fishing iron pillaging and serpent hunting is the perfect trio

[atomic forum]

can someone help me and my friend to beat yagluth

[tiny tiger]

like in person or give advice? What armor and weapons you using

[wooden tapir]

yes but it would ruin the fun, hes supposed to be a challenging boss your first time

[atomic forum]

im trying it for a long time i cant do it anymore bro my game is way to laggy to beat him alone i need help i dont progress in the game anymore

[tiny tiger]

Wym beat him alone

[atomic forum]

with my friends we cant do it

[warm sandal]

what is your equippment? Food? and why alone you said you had a friend?

[atomic forum]

alone with my friend sry for my english

[tiny tiger]

I recommend maxed padded or fenris, barley wine if running padded and your best health and stamina and food

[atomic forum]

my padded is all lvl 4

[tiny tiger]

silver sword or frostner or black metal sword

[cosmic igloo]

do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm1rHapAdSs

[atomic forum]

i have frostner and ategir

[warm sandal]

it's okay... question is if you have been trying for a long time and no success you might want to consider your armor and weapon and food/mead

[tiny tiger]

Frostner heavy attack should make quick work

What is killing yoy in the fight ? If it’s the lag I’m not sure how you’d solve that and people trying to help would face the same issue

[warm sandal]

i have been dieing to yag anytime i did try padded - i always use fenris now 😄 never died since but that is my personal choice would not recommend for anyone 😄

[tiny tiger]

Yeah fenris makes dodging so easy

[atomic forum]

the lag makes it way harder but i still enhjoy the game but cant progress

[tiny tiger]

and the fire resistance is nice too

[warm sandal]

any Idee what causes the lag?

[atomic forum]

my pc

[tiny tiger]

What settings do you have?

[warm sandal]

I mean if your game is so laggy then every person that would come to help you would face lag to probably?

[atomic forum]

no my pc is trash

low fps

[warm sandal]

well... a mulitplayer game can not go faster than the weakest pc in the mix

[atomic forum]

i dont host the world

[warm sandal]

so if i came with my big fat machine I would be dragged down to your level too anyways

the games would go out of sync and then things would be really whack too

did you put all your settings to lowest to reduce the strain on your machine?

i have heard of people playing this game on a fried potato PC with not to much of an issue... it is hard to diagnose what is going on on your end... where is the person situated hosting the game? are you connected via ethernet cable or wifi... there are so many variables that could cause the lag

if your friend was in the US and you in UK that could be an issue

[wooden tapir]

@atomic forum i can still help you kill him if you want

[atomic forum]

yes please

[wooden tapir]

dm me world code and stuff

[cosmic igloo]

wtf stone hedge rings in plains has special music?

[rocky widget]

yeah, a few structures do, like villages in meadows or ruins in black forest

[light moat]

Makes for really cool portal spots!

[cosmic igloo]

the rooms, where cultists are, in frost caves also have special music

[tacit crystal]

Also Greydwarf nests/spawners have their own music.

[fallen zephyr]

Special music is a significant consideration to my building a base.

[plush umbra]

which is why it's a shame that the meadows ruin music only plays once per location per character because people for some reason complained about it infinitely playing during the mistlands PTB phase, i'll never stop being mad at that change

[fallen zephyr]

Loud minorities are rampant.

[light moat]

I agree, yeah, it’s cool having those alternate tracks. I have a watchtower at an old fuling tower location and the music fits it really well.

[pine robin]

Anyone have any tips on where to build a base. Im in black forest and have my base probably a 3 min walk away from it and i kind of want to make it back towards spawn because of the coast and boat traveling. I want to start building a larger base even though im only like 10 hours in? any recommendations. I saw something about plains farming and showed that i should just use portals if needed

[light moat]

Are you newer to the game? If so, I would recommend building your base in the meadows on or near a coast line 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Being near the ocean is always important, unless you’re building on a mountain

[pine robin]

i am and would that be like permanent or would i be moving everything. I hate transfering everything to new bases over and over

[nocturne wolf]

If you want it to be permanent, build further from the centre of the world so you have more biomes nearby

[light moat]

Gotcha, yeah you can absolutely have that as your permanent base. I won’t spoil much, but you’ll have opportunities to have outposts for different purposes dotted around, with easy travel between them.

[pine robin]

ive spoiled a good bit watching videos on where i need to build a base sadly so you can say whatever and further from the center? i figured building it near the center would be better @nocturne wolf

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re close to the centre, you won’t have many different biomes nearby

[pine robin]

ahh okay can i dm a pic of my map and you can see what ive seen so fa

[light moat]

Yeah, the further you get from center, the more diversity you’ll see. It’s definitely not super important to be close to spawn- as you can always TP there to swap powers.

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots

[pine robin]

i dmd it sorry i didnt know there was a channel for that

[sleek gull]

yo i just downloaded the game after 6 months, the community servers are so dead do yall have any good server to play on?

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[pine robin]

any tips based of the SS? @nocturne wolf

[light moat]

Hmm it’s honestly not a lot- only because you haven’t explored much yet. The coast on the northwest seems kinda nice though.

[pine robin]

okay thanks for the recommendations. Any tips on how to move everything from one place to another i have portals

[light moat]

Biggest ticket items will be your metal. See how many trips it will take- if it won’t take a lot just hoof it with Eikthyr buff. If it’s a lot, might be worth it to load it all up on a boat with a cart on it or something.

@pine robin

[pine robin]

i still dont have the cart or boat i dont think im not sure how make them

[tacit crystal]

Who else exploring around Mistlands just for the sake of it?

[light moat]

Make some bronze nails 👍

[light moat]

I am, actually 👀 how’d you know?? Trying to get some extra black forges lol

[nocturne wolf]

Fireworks*

[tacit crystal]

Heh, I'm just exploring and looking for new mines to test my weapons, this time my Brutal Slayer.

[light moat]

Looting all the sausage I can from the mistlands, that’s my objective. Need to know how many sausages are available in my world. For science.

[tacit crystal]

And your wolves will never be hungry again

[rocky widget]

technically sausages are an entirely renweable resource

[light moat]

It’ll be like Kongs banana hoard, but with sausages.

[nocturne wolf]

Dvergr sausages aren’t

[light moat]

Premium Dvergr sausage 🤌

[rocky widget]

arent the dvergr sausages just regular sausages tho?

[tacit crystal]

When did Dvergr drop entrails? 👀

[rocky widget]

just use their trophies, nobody will notice the difference

[light moat]

Dvergr sausages are made with only the highest quality ingredients

[rocky widget]

imagine: levels on crops to make higher quality foods

heck yeah, 2 star carrot

this deer stew is gonna be LIT 🔥

[light moat]

2 star bukeperry 💪

[rain flare]

Dies from consumption

[rocky widget]

2* bukeperry: vomits out the current food, and the next 2 sets

or:

[cobalt canyon]

Final Boss:

Eat this mega bukeperry & survive it.

[rocky widget]

2 star bukeperry: causes mass vomiting for all players on the server

[cobalt canyon]

Contagious vomit

[rocky widget]

makes even the elder vomit

[cobalt canyon]

ah, but if we did have this, could we make a vomit loop of 10 people?

[rocky widget]

that is actually the worst thing you can do in a crowded space

[cobalt canyon]

would they all die from the vomit damage??? I think they would

Not like they've got any health regen

[rain flare]

Yes 🙈
They would

[tacit crystal]

Slaying nasty bugs in their den with Brutal Slayer feels 💪
Overall 2h swords becoming slowly again one of my favorite weapon type.

[light moat]

If only they didn’t have multi-hit penalty like their 1-handed counterparts👀

But yeah, the slayer is so freaking cool lol

[magic canyon]

This game really try to get me to play like Dark Souls, huh

[tiny tiger]

not me losing my swamp key and going to bonemass to get it only to promptly kill him, realise tis elder i need to kill and get a nice freeze gland delivery from some drakes that decide to raid my bonemass arena

[magic canyon]

Parrying everything and not dying to stupid shit

[tiny tiger]

couldnt be me 👀

[tacit crystal]

Sadly yeah. But single target damage with secondary hits is great.

[magic canyon]

Still, better than Dragonage Veilguarf

[cobalt canyon]

You can crank the difficulty high enough that parrying just gets you killed

[nocturne wolf]

And parrying everything isn't always the right thing to do

Sometimes dodging or just hitting first is better

[rocky widget]

do not parry the growth

[dapper rain]

does wine, flametal armor, and yagluth forsaken power stack?

for flame resist, i mean

[light moat]

Nope, they don’t stack.

[dapper rain]

oh. are they all equivalent?

[rain flare]

There are basically several levels of resistance in the game - weak, neutral, resistant, and immune

[merry pebble]

The game just takes the highest resistance and goes with that

[rain flare]

None of these items give you fire immunity - and no, having multiple instances of resistance does not grant you immunity

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal armor doesn't provide reistsance to fire damage. Heat resistance is for the delay before lava and boiling water will damage you.

[dapper rain]

oh

imagine having multiple concepts of heat

[trail pelican]

yeah "heat" refers specifically just to the damage in Ashlands from lava or boiling water

and to my knowledge nothing else, meanwhile 'fire damage' is completely different, coming from many different sources/kinds of attack

[dapper rain]

so basically either i have wine or yag power, but both is redundant

[trail pelican]

sort of--yag power provides resistance to frost & lightning as well, and moreover I think each is separate such that if you have the wine and yag active, you'll still enjoy the resistance to frost & lightning wine doesn't provide, moreover I BELIEVE (don't quote me as I never use Yag's power) the resistance to fire on Yag power is just "regular" whereas the wine resistance (like IIRC all potions providing elemental damage resistance) is VERY resistance, i.e. x0.5 versus x0.25 damage

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth's power isn't very useful because of resistances from capes, armor and mead. Eikthyr or Bonemass are more useful in combat

[magic canyon]

Wait what?

[nocturne wolf]

If an attack is too strong, a block/parry will fail. High difficulty means stronger attacks so there isn't as much you can parry

[magic canyon]

So you roll

Just like Dark Souls

[dapper rain]

say that to || foder || after running out of wine

[nocturne wolf]

If any attack has a hitbox small enough to be jumped over, jumping is better

It costs less stamina and won't lock you into an animation so you can start an attack or drink some mead or do whatever while dodging

[tiny tiger]

Got a nice haul of 200 iron today

[rocky widget]

yay, thats a fully upgraded tool 😄

[tiny tiger]

3 crypts and ones still about half explored but I’m kinda done with crypts for the near future

eh I’m gonna save it for padded armor

[rocky widget]

im half joking, iron equipment uses a LOT of iron

[foggy glacier]

you'll need more. might as well finish that swamp.

[tiny tiger]

It’s all good I have a maxed iron pickaxe and haven’t killed moder yet

Just doing a lil iron restock because I’m running out of storage space

[rocky widget]

theres stuff that needs like 60 iron for the last upgrade only

[tiny tiger]

Max padded set is 96 iron so I think I have enough lol

[west pulsar]

Well yea and no like you're staying potions are better the potions override the yagluth power

[tiny tiger]

Aw man it’s stormy and I don’t have my harpoon on me

Personally I don’t think iron tier weaponry and armor is all that important other than iron pickaxe you can skip the rest

I did get some basic lvl 1 iron armor for boneless fight and early mountains exploration tho

Bonus 7 serpent meat for the road home

I think my next mission once all this iron is smelted is to finish my silver armor and prepare for moder

[west pulsar]

Well technically none of it is important lmao but i like getting iron so i can speedrun silver

I spend less time dicking around if i got decent iron and you'll need iron for padded gear anywho

[tiny tiger]

Max iron pick and basic iron armor got me frostner and silver shield within an hour of beginning mountains

[west pulsar]

I wish lord reto dropped a trophy

[tiny tiger]

oh crap another serpent spawned

[west pulsar]

I was actually looking forward to hanging it on a wall next to the other mimibosses

[tiny tiger]

13 meat and 200 iron ggs

[west pulsar]

Nice! Free food!

Also i can happily say I'll never have to touch an Ashland again

[tiny tiger]

Unfortunately still no bog witch tho

Not even for catapult mats?

[west pulsar]

What am i using catapult for exactly?

[tiny tiger]

Fun?

[west pulsar]

I guess but i got a lot of resources stockpiled

I basically no life this game I have over 500 flametal

[tiny tiger]

My first week with the game properly I think I had like 40 hours or first two weeks

[west pulsar]

Bro is unemployed

[tiny tiger]

I believe I might actually have been at the time, I had just bought the laptop and then literally within a week got fired for some bs

[west pulsar]

Ah fair enough

[pure lantern]

what do you guys think better to equip with embla set. askvin cloak for dodge or ashen cape for armor?

[untold mesa]

Played a server with friends for the first time. Loved the game until the swamps. Every biome after was worse and worse, becoming hours of pure frustration and grinding with no fun. Got to the Ashlands, gave up as it has 0 rewards worth the frustration. 2/10 will never touch it again.

[teal matrix]

Bro basically admitted to being mad cuz bad then dipped. RIP

[vital umbra]

the ashlands is weeding out the whiny skill issue lads 🧡

fuck i love that biome

devs are the best

[teal matrix]

Ashlands gave me an absolute reeming last night but like hell if imma throw in the towel.

[vital umbra]

8/10

[teal matrix]

Got my basalt bombs, started harvesting flametal and kept getting knocked off by lava spouts.

But we persevere.

[vital umbra]

the only critiques i have 😾 but few and far between, if there were going to be so many flametal weapons why not add the battleaxe, fists, atgeir & hammer, if you have literally everything possibly else you can, and i mean the upgrade cap now that there are enchanted weapons seems just not adequate to me, i know you can get level 4 carapace armour when you get to the ashlands but like hell am i going to do that when theres a new armour set? no way, and i feel like the same thing is going to happen to the deep north, So i think while we're where we are we should be able to get one extra upgrade level.

Also the spires in the boiling sea should be further apart and the dyrnwyn should be buffed

other than that i have no complaints literally at all, definitely not about the difficulty cuz i an't no bitch

[merry pebble]

You can easily upgrade carapace armor since you will have materials for it stashed away anyway, so why not, it will take you some time to get stuff for flametal armor any way and until then the carapace will do great

[vital umbra]

I never did, The instant i was able to i switched over to flametal armour because why wouldn't i 🥴

Never have i ever gotten level 4 carapace armor.

[warm sandal]

upgrading the carapace saved my life this run because my gosh did it take me long to gather enough flametal for something better ...

and every armor point helps survive until you get the stuff gathered

[vital umbra]

I don't think that should happen again, i think we should get to have level 4 flametal armor for the deep north.

[arctic garnet]

I like polearms ànd parrying with 2h weapons. I suggested a flametal atgeir, but it was apparently unpopular.

[vital umbra]

and the other armor sets obv.

[nocturne wolf]

When mistlands released we could only get the equipment there to level 2

[vital umbra]

yeah that sucks horribly

[warm sandal]

with the sheer amount of carapace i came out of the mistland i had no issues to upgrade everything to max i wanted upgraded and have loads to spare

[merry pebble]

We very well might, the mistlands also got another upgrade for black forge after it was released but before ashlands

[nocturne wolf]

Why? Cheaper max gear

[idle storm]

i mean the only real cost for l4 carapace is the 18 refined eitr. You'll be drowning in carapace and scale hide by the time you hit Ashlands.

[vital umbra]

it would be kinda cool if the mistlands also got another upgrade level....could you not fully upgrade iron gear, on tier with getting iron?

why should it be different with eitr and flametal

[warm sandal]

also the way i understand it is that the gear you get in one biome takes you through uintil you get the next better that will takeyou through to the next better

[merry pebble]

Obi, do you really have to try to find problems where there are none?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah but you don't get to upgrade troll or bronze armor or weapons fully to level 4 on normal progression

[warm sandal]

sure it is easier in the ashes with the ashland tier stuff but it is doable with the carapace too 😄

[vital umbra]

I don't like-y

[merry pebble]

Thats your problem, why make it everyone elses?

[vital umbra]

don't make me hack into the mainframe

[cosmic igloo]

ya we need some sink for seeker mats

[warm sandal]

well i make a point to upgrade everything to full the moment i can...fallback armor is a needed thing incase of accidents

[cosmic igloo]

especially carapace

[merry pebble]

Their meat is great base food 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[arctic garnet]

They're my go to for crossbow bolts

[idle storm]

carapace bolts don't need ashwood so i still use them over charred bolts

[cosmic igloo]

ah im an xbow unenjoyer so wouldnt know

[merry pebble]

Tbh you will be drowning in charred bones too so the charred arrows and stuff are not problem either 🙂

[warm sandal]

living off off seeker aspik still 😄 got so much i never bothered to make the ashlevel equivalent just stuck with the aspik

[vital umbra]

This almost entirely for me comes from the max level of enchanted weapons being 2

[merry pebble]

As was mistlands gear for time, and then we got upgrades...

[tacit crystal]

Aspic and Marinated Greens 👌 Both having 30min duration.

[vital umbra]

That is insinuating for me that there might not be much more in terms of weapons if we can only fully upgrade those ones in the deep north..

[idle storm]

i don't care about the bones but i'd rather use my ashwood for building instead of bolts or arrows that do a tiny amount more damage.

[vital umbra]

Unless deep north weapons are added with a maximum upgrade level of 1 🗿

[merry pebble]

Understandable 🙂

[warm sandal]

yepp very convenient ... picante pie with it and i am good to go

[arctic garnet]

Picante lol

[vital umbra]

Otherwise we get like 3 upgrades for the black forge in the biome..

[tacit crystal]

You could try Mistlands feast, gives balanced hp and stamina plus extra eitr.

[warm sandal]

as of now my only gripe with the game is... Deep north will be the last new biome 😄 ...

[vital umbra]

and the galdr table ofc

it would be sad if the max level of deep north tier stuff is not the max level.

a higher feeling of reward for reaching end-game.

[warm sandal]

I am still in the experimenting stage with them feasts... i am using the lower ranking ones to give me 2 days of working time to build and gather stuff without worries 😄

[vocal rivet]

That would definitely be a very strange decision if they did that.

[arctic garnet]

I have a few qol gripes and would like some more interesting ship(s) but that's it

[vital umbra]

unless another upgrade for the black forge & galdr table was added in the mistlands and ashlands then there would be so many that would have to be added in the deep north it would be kinda weird 👽

if everything in the biome requires a further level to craft in the first place especially

[merry pebble]

If you guys have stuff to suggest there is the #suggestions channel for that, and if you want to monologue about it all day and night then you dont even need any chat rooms...

[vital umbra]

I don't have you on a leash to engage 🐦

[warm sandal]

I do have more gripes with my life being so busy that i can not play more 😄 he he he

[arctic garnet]

Already said my piece there

[vital umbra]

alrighty 👋

[warm sandal]

sad...tomorrow i need to help a friend set up computer stuffs, on thursday i have a friend coming over that needs help with some sewing to repair some clothes... I will only on Friday be able to record more gameplay 😦 and still 10 years to go till retirement 😄

[cosmic igloo]

im hoping they release 1.0 and then maybe a year later release news that they are working on DLC, like ocean DLC or something

[merry pebble]

I am afraid they said hard no to DLCs (the exeption being the odin stuff)

[cosmic igloo]

unless a gun is to their face i dont see why not

like minds can change given time

[merry pebble]

True, we will have to see 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

maybe they have worked on valheim for so long so they are kinda burned out and after some break time, they might wanna do more

at least thats what im hoping

[tacit crystal]

Sounds kinda like what happened with Terraria/Minecraft etc.

That they added more content later.

[light moat]

Terraria has had like 5 “last updates” 😂 ||I love it||

[arctic garnet]

loltrue

[tacit crystal]

"Last one I swear" -Re-Logic after 5th "last update"

[warm sandal]

I too think after working on that for so long they might want to see the end of it and do something else for a while and maybe maybe after a while they might have a great idea and will do some DLC none the less... would not be the first time something like that happend...we shall see... meanwhile i am gonna practise building with the ashland stuff 😄

[merry pebble]

Sounds like me while having some beers and its time to go home XD

[arctic garnet]

Friends 'n I gotta reach ashlands

[west pulsar]

I have officially collected every trophy in the game

[warm sandal]

reached ashlands all by my lonesome self neither the husband nor the son have reached it yet 😄 little proud i got there and am able to survive it now too

[west pulsar]

Nice! Best of luck with the Ashlands

[warm sandal]

working on the trophy thing too... the only one that i never gathered is the fishing hat ... but that shall happen too... i love to have portal houses featureing all the trophys from a biome 😄

[tiny tiger]

just got cultist trophy on like my 5th cultist

[arctic garnet]

Can't wait to hear my friends' confused screaming as they get bowled into and mauled by a spastic bone horror

[tiny tiger]

why is the game being so nice to me today

[west pulsar]

Bro idk why that shit took me like 30

[warm sandal]

there are some really elusive ones... i had to clear out like 20 frost caves to get me the cultist trophy for the fenris armor 😦

[west pulsar]

no no same

The wrath too

Idk the numbers but GOD THATS BAD

[tiny tiger]

my first time round with a friend it took us over 40 cultists for just one

[merry pebble]

Not me getting 2 of them in first cave i found this playthrough...

[tiny tiger]

the second one didnt take much longer tho thank god

[warm sandal]

yah and the draugr elite trophy has me standing at a spawner for some days and killing everything that comes out until i get it .

[arctic garnet]

I suggested a mead to increase trophy drop rates and it was hated iirc

[west pulsar]

Nah the draugr elite for me was easy enough

I already had so many trophies related to the swamp

[tacit crystal]

Building with Grausten is fun, the building pieces gives lots of ideas of decorative look.

[warm sandal]

well... i never have any issues with having enough entrails after all those frostcaves and swamp spawner slaughter fest

[west pulsar]

RIGHT

Its actually not even funny how much food i have i literally couldn't eat it all if i tried

[vital umbra]

Still prefer black marble for a cozier construction.

[warm sandal]

same here... i usually store extras in the older bases (i leave them completely intact and just build everything new in the new place so plenty of extra storage one portal away 😄

[arctic garnet]

Looking forward to making a forge & refinery building of black marble again

[warm sandal]

I am planing on taking my current private charakter to a new world in hammer mode and go to town with building to my hearts content without being desturbed 😄

and for now i need to go to bed... good night and may you not dream of heaps of flesh with out a head or a limb under the earth (what a nightmare)

[west pulsar]

I really like the ashstone stuff

[arctic garnet]

dream about mead

[west pulsar]

Maybe its just me but it looks clean

[tacit crystal]

I also like Grausten a lot

[vital umbra]

's too fancy for me

[tiny tiger]

How would anyone hate on that bruh

[arctic garnet]

i dunno

[tiny tiger]

Trophy hunter mead would be perfect have it unlocked like mountains or swamps

Bog witch or maybe have the frost caves have a fountain that has Mountain Dew as a ingredient lol

[hybrid onyx]

Is frostner the best weapon in the game? Oh god it demolishes everything

[light moat]

It’s pretty powerful and has a lot of uses, yeah

[plush umbra]

it's rarely the best option but it's so often near the top that i would say it's the most consistently useful weapon in the game

[hybrid onyx]

I'm getting my revenge on swamps

[light moat]

Think Frostner might be my favorite weapon in the game 🤔

[tacit crystal]

It's one of the MVP weapons in game.

[light moat]

It’s also really iconic, has a great design, and uses Ymir flesh which is an interesting material in my opinion- the entire Frostner experience is just super solid.

Dyrywyn is an extremely close second for me

[west pulsar]

I wish lord reto had a trophy man it bothers me that it doesn't

[tiny tiger]

I use it against stone golem and abomination and it’s still pretty good even against them

By no means optimal but just fun to use

[west pulsar]

I wish it was little stronger but its fine i like the option and the look i just wish the weapons did more than 10 elemental damage its so little

[nocturne wolf]

I think the elemental damage is just there to make the effects play

[west pulsar]

😭 yes and no it makes a difference

[nocturne wolf]

And dyrnwyn shouldn’t be too strong as it’s not trying to invalidate the other 1h swords at all

[west pulsar]

Yea but its literally 5x harder to get

Just to be slightly better which im not complaining its cool af looking and i love fire damage and lightning damage

I use that sword with a thunder mace poison bow covers almost all damage in the game

[tiny tiger]

It’s more of a trophy sword than the ultimate sword

I’m definitely going to be rocking it when I get my hands on it that’s for sure

[light moat]

Didn’t stop me from using it against Fader 😂

[west pulsar]

Oh dude its still really good it does 10 extra damage

[tiny tiger]

dyrnwyn, frostner and I guess himminafl

[west pulsar]

Humminafl is still one of my favorite weapons

That kind of lightning damage is what i was expecting btw less physical

Less slash and blunt and more zap zap and poison

[tiny tiger]

Fire does have the benefit of stacking

[west pulsar]

Exactly hence why i love fire

[nocturne wolf]

Poison damage is almost entirely useless in ashlands

[west pulsar]

In the Ashlands yes

But its used for the freezing effect not the damage

The actual effect itself is the strongest I'd argue but its damage is the weakest i think that's fair

[tiny tiger]

Which effect are you referring to

[west pulsar]

The thunder stuff is my favorite its free crowd control and nothing is resistant to it

[light moat]

Lol I just noticed the hat in your pfp @nocturne wolf

[west pulsar]

20% chance to paralyze

Thats SUPER strong on bows for example

Works on fader too

[tiny tiger]

Oh you mean the green gem weapons

[west pulsar]

Yes the poison one

[nocturne wolf]

Klossen

[west pulsar]

The blood ones are non arguably the worst.

Klossen looks cooler but i use the shock mace because blunt and shock works better the knockback and crowd control is better

[tiny tiger]

Would blood ones go well with berserkir mead? Easier to drop to low health and then do insane damage

[west pulsar]

I love how klossen is just a brick basically

[light moat]

Am I the only one who prefers using the raw version of the Ashland weapons? Lol

[west pulsar]

Actually the shield staff:) but yes it would

But use the staff to grant armor but Lower your health little life hack

[tiny tiger]

blood weapon + shield staff + berserkir mead

[west pulsar]

I just prefer to have frost fire poison health meads on me ngl

I redid fader because i wanted a second head and using the staff was very important the trollstav is kinda cheesy but it works but you dont need it if you have the poison bow

[cosmic igloo]

why

[west pulsar]

Poison bow fire sword thunder mace optional blood weapon maybe spear

[cosmic igloo]

i just like iolite all

[west pulsar]

Higher upgrade more spirit damage

Well no it doesn't do Spirit without upgrades i forgot. It does 147 slash damage without upgrades.

[cosmic igloo]

spirit dmg?? which weaps have spirit

which one

[west pulsar]

The bows

Im pretty sure. Yea my bow does 5

The regular bow does 10

Which can stack with silver arrows im pretty sure

[cosmic igloo]

so does gem upgraded versions tho

[west pulsar]

Yes but half as much

Ashfang basic 10
Ashfang upgrade 5

[cosmic igloo]

but u get lightning dmg + chance for chain lightning which is OP af

[nocturne wolf]

Bow and arrow damage are added together so it will stack

[cosmic igloo]

no way u can turn down that...

[west pulsar]

I thought so

[nocturne wolf]

Even with the spirit damage that lightning will be better unless your luck is as terrible as mine

[west pulsar]

Well i agree but its not that much worse because the raw slash is better

You get some compensation but the upgrades are just better

And at that point just use the bloodstone version

[cosmic igloo]

have u seen chain lightning effect??

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

[west pulsar]

Use the shield staff which eats 40% hp so if you have lets say 200 (yes i use it all the time)
Hp you will eat 80 hp = 16 damage > 157 damage. At which point dyrnwyn is better

I use the mace for knockback and stagger + the crowd control i found it works best on the mace

[cosmic igloo]

also who cares about pierce m8 mobs have resistance

[cosmic igloo]

wait im confused, why are we talking about shield staff now

and why are we talking about dyrnwyn

[west pulsar]

Because it eats hp and grants you protection idk i was just thinking out loud trying to justify it

[cosmic igloo]

and why are we talking about weapon type selection

[idle storm]

There's no point using silver arrows against charred since they're neutral to frost. And frost arrows do 52 frost damage vs 20 spirit for silver arrows.

[west pulsar]

Frost arrow 13p (resist) charred are resistant 13p + 52F 65 for frost arrows
Silver arrows 26p (resist) + 30S = 56
So yes its worse but still viable and better than many options

Does more than a charred arrow

[idle storm]

well yeah but who uses those?

[west pulsar]

Me?

[vital umbra]

me 🧐

lol

[west pulsar]

Not in the Ashlands but in general me they're easy and effective outside

[unborn nexus]

another day is one to remember drakes exist

[idle storm]

8 ashwood for 20 arrows is not worth 10 points more (pierce) damage over carapace imo.

though i suppose if you don't build a lot it doesn't matter

[west pulsar]

It absolutely is lets not pretend carapace is easier to get

[vital umbra]

just get more ashwood

[unborn nexus]

move aside bronze grind

[west pulsar]

I'd rather smack a tree 4 times and get arrows than have to go to a mistlands and kill seekers

[vital umbra]

legitimately just more damage overall.

[unborn nexus]

make way for refined eitr grind

[idle storm]

lol? Seekers respawn in infested mines, so all you have to do is place a portal there and go by every once in a while to farm carapace, seeker meat, blood clots and royal jelly.

[west pulsar]

And it's easier to get

[reef pawn]

my friends and I haven't played since like january 2023, is the world that we used then going to be compatible with the current game?
the save loads, but i'm just curious if we'll need to start a new world to generate any content that's come since then

[nocturne wolf]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[west pulsar]

Worse foods and worse arrows or i can just smack a tree in the Ashlands

[unborn nexus]

the game gens new content in unexplored zones

[reef pawn]

ok cool, so we just need to explore that'll do it, thanks!

[idle storm]

I do that too, i just use the wood for building instead of arrows

[west pulsar]

I do both

I have like over 1000 just saved at my base

[unborn nexus]

rare sight of people actually using metal arrows

[west pulsar]

The arrows are just better and seeker meat is outdated

[idle storm]

seeker aspic is still better than berry juice or shroomshake if you want to go double- or triple-eitr.

[west pulsar]

On new characters i use iron

[unborn nexus]

interesting the game gives you metal arrows for free in chests up until plains

[west pulsar]

Who tf uses pure magic😭

[vital umbra]

probably silver arrows at some point because theres no building with silver 😦

[vital umbra]

me in the ashlands

[west pulsar]

I use some magic but i find the weapons as an option leaves me flexible

[vital umbra]

in the mistlands i do 2 eitr 1 stamina, in the ashlands i just take it slow and unleash a fucking storm of magic on my enemies

ohh are we talking about builds?? you go big or you go home, warrior, mage, rogue.

[west pulsar]

Well i use the dead raiser its shockingly underrated

[vital umbra]

i hate hybrid builds they make me feel like stale potatoes.

[idle storm]

with triple eitr you don't need to melee

[west pulsar]

Well yea but i like hitting shit

Sure is the shotgun fun yes

[vital umbra]

then dont use magic period. choose your path.

[west pulsar]

No im a spellsword

[vital umbra]

i like hitting creatures 75% of the time but 25% of the time i dedicate to a sneak/archer or mage.

[idle storm]

only "melee" weapon i carry is jotun bane, unless you count dundr

[vital umbra]

When i'm out of mana the last thing i want to do is get up and close to an enemy

[west pulsar]

I use the Ashlands feast shroomshake and the pie

[unborn nexus]

Anyone else thought jotun bane was a mace?

[west pulsar]

Just you

[unborn nexus]

It looks like a mace until you read the desc

[idle storm]

i just thought the poison damage meant it was viable as a weapon.
I was wrong.

[west pulsar]

Not to me it dont thats an axe if ive ever seen it

[unborn nexus]

axes aren't a super ideal weapon type

[west pulsar]

Mistlands weapon's are balanced so weird

[unborn nexus]

not even the 2 handed variants

[west pulsar]

The duel axes are actually super good

[nocturne wolf]

1h axes would be ok in combat if their secondary wasn’t awful
(1.5x damage and knockback)

[nocturne wolf]

[unborn nexus]

iron battleaxe? never used it

[west pulsar]

Me either

[nocturne wolf]

They’re both good

[unborn nexus]

i think i used crystal way back then

[west pulsar]

Crystal was still inferior to the silver sword and Forester

[unborn nexus]

still if you want to cut down forests, look no further

[idle storm]

crystal battleaxe isn't terrible. It's not as good as the atgeir but the high stagger on the secondary and aoe-primary make it usable enough.

[nocturne wolf]

It’s very good for hitting multiple enemies at once and with the 1.5x stagger on the primary you can consistently stagger many types of enemies in one hit

[cobalt canyon]

...is it shameful that I've never thought of this before?

[unborn nexus]

yeah but 2h battleaxe
that huge movement penalty

[nocturne wolf]

I once used the iron battleaxe to clear a large chunk of a black forest biome

[unborn nexus]

yeesh

somedays i feel like i rely too much on ratatosk mead

[nocturne wolf]

Lightfoot mead

[unborn nexus]

Rat + full fenris = s p e e d

[wide topaz]

Today I learned that eating a bukeperry followed by immediately sleeping has your character fall to sleep projectile vomiting over themselves

[cosmic summit]

I just found eggs on my game. Everywhere I read about valheim chickens online says to block off the fire you're incubating with so the chickens don't burn themselves. Could I just use a hanging brazier to heat them?

[vital umbra]

if it can be close enough, the best is probably to have a fire surrounded by walls and the eggs against the wall..

[wide topaz]

Yes, you can

[cosmic summit]

Do they need to be closer than I would need to be for the fire buff?

[vital umbra]

It seems like it but i don't know..

[cosmic summit]

Alrighty. Next time I play I'll get the eggs out of my livingroom and build a coop so they don't hatch in my house haha

[unborn nexus]

Do hearths work?

i forgot if they can walk up inside it

[trim cedar]

i just built a normall fire and just put a few posts around it

[pliant hatch]

The standing brazier work fine too. And since it's above ground, you can build it next to a wall - even iron grate works - and don't have to worry about ending up with Valheim Fried Chicken the moment the eggs hatch.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah Crystal battleaxe fares surprisingly well against Charred thanks to the extra spirit damage. Some testing here against 2 warriors. #memes-and-clips message

Just hoping there were new higher tier battleaxe. And some tweaks to movement speed penalty.

[light moat]

Probably a dumb question, but do monsters have any sort of armor bonus?

[west pulsar]

No not really to my knowledge

Thungr hits so soft fr

[ionic iron]

They have resistances which are labeled on the wiki

[foggy glacier]

conversely though, some carry shields which they don't use and don't provide a bonus.

[foggy glacier]

How does it compare against silver sword though?

[vital umbra]

he's learned to be gentle with his hubbie due to the size difference probably

👍

#1024264966712340510

[vale kindle]

oops mb

[serene crystal]

Does "sprinting" while floating with the feather cape make the same amount of noise as when running?

[foggy glacier]

probably, yes.

[crude sparrow]

I'm tired of having to explore a great sea, arrive on a continent and die for some stupid reason without having a portal to that place

[foggy glacier]

are you dying before you can jump ashore with your portal materials?

[west pulsar]

💀

[coarse maple]

Yo why am I having so much trouble finding copper?

Any tips?

[vital umbra]

look in more places idk

[calm briar]

bro this game is so much fun

i cant believe i only just learned about it

[calm briar]

BLACKFOREST

[west pulsar]

Boom max comfort level

[elder horizon]

are draugr villages hard to find?

[west pulsar]

Not really they just dont spawn close to the spawn point (center of map)

[gray sand]

Just as "hard" to find as another randomly spawned location.

[west pulsar]

Time ≠ difficulty

[gray sand]

Time is relative, coincidentally so is difficulty 😄

[tacit crystal]

Silver sword:

• higher spirit, less physical damage (93 slash, 45 spirit)
• 1h so able to use with shield
• primary hits use 12 stamina
• higher attack speed, smaller hitbox
• less movement speed penalty (-5% plus -5% if using with shield)
• less stagger (1x) and knockback
• slow and more damage dealing secondary attack (3x)
• no MTP for primary attacks
• costs 160 silver plus 23 iron to craft and fully upgrade

Crystal battleaxe:

• higher physical, less spirit damage (108 slash, 30 spirit)
• 2h so not able to use with shield
• primary hits use 18 stamina
• slower attacks, wider hitbox
• noticeably high movement speed penalty (-20%)
• higher stagger (1,5x) and knockback
• quick secondary attack with even higher stagger (4x) and knockback but less damage (0,5x)
• no MTP for primary attacks
• costs 120 silver to craft and fully upgrade

Edit: added stamina usage and crafting and upgrade costs in metals

[rain flare]

Really it just depends on what skill set is higher

Swords, go sword
Axes, go crystal 🤩

[teal matrix]

Just got my hands on a Primal Slayer, feels phenomenal.

[unborn nexus]

dig deep

but not all forests will have copper

lock down the area with some stake walls n campfires

[gray sand]

?

[unborn nexus]

mining out the entire boulder is gonna take some time

[gray sand]

Yes. But why "lock down"?

[teal matrix]

Were about to start renovations on the charred fortress we captured. Is there a good way to remove the center tower? The ram did a number on it and now it's just floating there

[unborn nexus]

mining makes the most noise out of all activities

[gray sand]

Yes. But why "lock down"?

[unborn nexus]

greydwarves love noise

[gray sand]

Still not seeing an issue here...

[unborn nexus]

ah the bronze grind

[tacit crystal]

Build platform on floating wall and use battering ram on the wall, layer by layer. New platform higher when lower is demolished.

Another option would be using catapult with explosive payloads but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and it can hit outer walls too if aimed incorrectly.

[unborn nexus]

on the other hand don't set up spawn blockers while mining copper

good way to train up your melee skills due to the sheer amount of 'dwarves that come runnin

(don't mine at night, it's even worse)

[gray sand]

Free wood, free greydwarf eyes, free xp?

[unborn nexus]

my current world has much more raids

even after making it to the mountains
i still have lots of eyes leftover

[vital umbra]

greydwarves annoying

[exotic bramble]

Heys guys I just bought the game

[finite lantern]

Hello everyone, s there any french discord ?

[exotic bramble]

anyone wanna play with me? (I have no clue how to play)

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[exotic bramble]

Oh mb

[gray sand]

Or just... play. And learn as you go?

[merry pebble]

Welcome in!

[gray sand]

Like how all games were done for decades before this "I MUST KNOW ALL STRATS BEFORE EVEN INSTALLING THE GAME" wave happened.... 😦

[exotic bramble]

Mb I thought it would be more fun with friends

[gray sand]

I'm going to assume none of your current friends also own the game?

[exotic bramble]

Yup it’s just me

I have it installed tho

[gray sand]

I will tell you that while #1024264966712340510 exists, most people don't invite randoms to their servers.

So if you want the MP experience your highest probability of achieving it lies with your current friends also getting the game.

Which is arguably easier to accomplish if you have played it a bit yourself and can be the advertisement for them to buy it as well. 🙂

[exotic bramble]

They only play battle royal and fps games

[gray sand]

You need better friends 😭

[exotic bramble]

I came here in hopes of finding new ones 😭

[gray sand]

Friendship takes time, it is not something attainable on day one of joining a new space 💛

[exotic bramble]

Yeah but I gotta start somewhere

[tacit crystal]

There are surely people out there in your situation so you could make your own post to the channel Sev linked and try get samelike people to play with you, or search them yourself.

But, the game is also fun solo. 👍

[exotic bramble]

Ok thanks

[west pulsar]

Have fun

[exotic bramble]

I just started a world rn

[exotic bramble]

I think I’ll have a lot of fun building

[tacit crystal]

Good luck Remember you get to experience the game the first time only once so take everything from that you can get!

[exotic bramble]

Alrighty

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the bird when he tells you how things work and you will be fine 👍

[gray sand]

Always listen to the good birb.

[exotic bramble]

Oh yeah it randomly shows up and leaves

[gray sand]

@exotic bramble the biggest tip I can give you (that people who have been playing for years keep forgetting...) is that FOOD is the most important stat in the game.
Food > Gear.
Having amazing gear with shit food will kill you more often than anything because you believe your gear is what carries you.
It helps, but FOOD is what matters.

[exotic bramble]

Ok 👍

[exotic bramble]

Oh ok

I killed something and it dropped a tail

[gray sand]

When you kill the first boss shoot me a dm and I'll go more in-depth about food if you want.

[exotic bramble]

Alrighty 👍

I’m going to set up base near the ruins

The stone boss ruins thingy

[gray sand]

Don't get too attached to it.
You're have the absolute worst building materials for a good while, so you will do a complete rebuild and possibly choose an entirely different biome as you progress.

[exotic bramble]

Oh alright 👍

[gray sand]

(opinion) spending dozens of hours making a wood-only base look pretty is a colossal waste of time given the materials you get just 2 biomes later.

[wintry valve]

set base in ashland

[exotic bramble]

Oh I see

[wintry valve]

what could go wrong?

[exotic bramble]

Wood is bad?

[gray sand]

Try to be non-spoilery for the brand new person.

[gray sand]

I did not say that.

[tacit crystal]

Nothing limits you building more than one base/outpost in your world tho. 🙂

[exotic bramble]

So it’s good but weak?

[wintry valve]

You'll figure it out.

[exotic bramble]

Alr 😭

[tacit crystal]

Wood is the basic but there are some limitations when building higher buildings which need stronger materials.

[wintry valve]

Point is, dont be afraid to make little settlements here and there. At some point you might come across a new place and say "this is nice" and build there.

[gray sand]

It is simply one thing. Out of...
W
CW
S
IW
DW
BM
G

7 total materials.

No, I am not elaborating on what the other 6 are, you'll find them 😄

[tacit crystal]

Careful, you scare him with your letter combinations 😅

jk

[exotic bramble]

I gotta find these materials

[exotic bramble]

Oh alr

[gray sand]

wym? idc he's a bb. jsyk, ily.

[exotic bramble]

Oooh ok 👍

[wintry valve]

also make a flint knife

[exotic bramble]

I got a club

[tacit crystal]

You'll figure them out as you progress the game, don't think too much forward and focus on the current progress 👍

[wintry valve]

oh you really just started

[exotic bramble]

Oh alright

[wintry valve]

well, flint is easy to get from the get go

[exotic bramble]

Okay I’ll look for it

[tacit crystal]

Yes, brand new player as Sev mentioned #valheim-chat message

[gray sand]

Club good.
Knives are... a choice.
Stick with club until more familiar with combat then try out different weapons to see what you like most (there is no wrong answer, whichever you like the feel of the most is the "best" weapon)

[wintry valve]

I just found the flint knife really good at the beginning.

[exotic bramble]

Oh ok 👍

[exotic bramble]

I want a really big sword

[gray sand]

You get them, but much later.

[exotic bramble]

Oh alright

[gray sand]

They share the same skill tree as one-hand swords though. So you don't lose exp progress if you start swording early.

[exotic bramble]

Ooh I see

[unborn nexus]

yes

you'll realize it's easier to sneak-stab deer than using a bow

[gray sand]

Spear.

[unborn nexus]

that too

although you don't want to miss, a spear hitting the ground makes a LOT of noise

for some reason

[tacit crystal]

Spear is really good at the beginning and much more accurate to throw than shooting with the first bow.

[unborn nexus]

great aggro tool though

just chuck a spear and everything wants you

[gray sand]

I almost never throw my spear 😄

[tacit crystal]

I chug it all the time

And I've learned to be quite accurate with it so I rarely miss to lose my spear 👌

[unborn nexus]

never chuck spears in the mountains

with all my rage, drake sidestep

[tacit crystal]

I actually went without bows, using spear throws in my hard preset world until I got access to the Arbalest.

[west pulsar]

Haiiii

[rain flare]

Really the weapon choice you make should be made early so you can build up a viable skill level in that weapon tree

[west pulsar]

Nah sorry i love my bows

[west pulsar]

Agreed but I've got almost all skills maxed

[rain flare]

I like spears, swords and axes purely cause I like using shields and I am lazy, so axes and spears being fairly cheap to make and upgrade appeals to me 😂

[unborn nexus]

needle arrows my beloved

[rain flare]

Nice - new player considerations though 👆

[unborn nexus]

you get so many needles without needing to look for em

the source comes right to you without your input!

[rain flare]

So my new characters always pick a weapon and specialise

My main character is about average in all weapons

[west pulsar]

So for new players I'd say level up bows for sure then either swords or axes i know axes are kinda shat on but they're duel purpose

Axes as a secondary are solid

Spears are kinda eh and atgeirs fall off

[rain flare]

Axes are honestly so good - and once you get great axes you can really shred most mobs

[west pulsar]

Well and in the Ashlands axes are actually really good and axes do slash which not many enemies resist

[unborn nexus]

everything got their niche

[cosmic igloo]

atgeirs def dont fall off, himmini is the most OP melee weap in ashlands

[west pulsar]

Eh fair point

[unborn nexus]

a level 2 blackmetal atgeir will reliably chainstun a lox with a special

[rain flare]

Spears are still a solid choice - they just take some practice to use properly

My favourite tactic is throw spear as enemy gets too close which staggers them, sprint up to them and stab them to death while they are still stunned 🤣

[unborn nexus]

and is a generally "Get off me!" tool for fulings who surround you

[cosmic igloo]

and id say atgeir is the best melee weap in the game

[unborn nexus]

something a sword/mace cannot
at's are stamina and resource hungry though

[rain flare]

I really just love how all weapon choices are viable in this game

[west pulsar]

Well no because it does pierce

All the Ashlands enemies resist it basically

[unborn nexus]

seekers resist all basic damage types

but are weak to elementals

[rain flare]

All physical damage types

[west pulsar]

It'll do 100 damage to charred which for a 2 hand isnt worth

[rain flare]

Still love stabbing them to death with a big stick 😂

[unborn nexus]

too bad they're remarkably quick for how fat they are

minus the soldiers who can literally slap you around like a pinball

[rain flare]

That is accurate

[west pulsar]

Take mistwalker it'll do 155 damage

Which is Crazy good against charred

[cosmic igloo]

himmini has lightning dmg. lightning is the only non-phys dmg type that applies stagger dmg

[west pulsar]

Yea but shock weapons exist in Ashlands

And maces do heavy stagger anyway

[rain flare]

#screenshots message

[cosmic igloo]

yea but atgeir 2nd attack is guarranteed stagger for almost every mob

you can stunlock morgens with it on very hard

[west pulsar]

Noted

[idle storm]

also L4 himminafl does 58 lightning vs 10 for iolite weapons (+ chance for chain lightning which is 25% for 75 extra damage iirc).

[nocturne wolf]

Level 4 himminafl secondary has up to 858 stagger

[unborn nexus]

jumping into a group of enemies with a well timed atgeir S2 to stun them all as they land, very badass

[west pulsar]

The math on that is 28.75 per hit fyi which is significant when you realize in the Ashlands himmi does pierce and only does 100 damage

[cosmic igloo]

also add lightning onto that

[vital umbra]

I am coming to realise that i am completely and utterly horrendous at building

[west pulsar]

Me and you both

[nocturne wolf]

I’m not adding anything. That’s the total stagger when doing a secondary attack

[unborn nexus]

wood cubes

[cosmic igloo]

ya, super OP

[unborn nexus]

then later, stone floors then more wood

[cosmic igloo]

lightning dmg type adds to stagger

[vital umbra]

slight self glaze, i am great at interior decorating....i seem to be a housewife at heart, cooking and all that shit.

but i don't have an ounce of architecture in my head..

[unborn nexus]

Good at everything but making a base look nice

i grind all the gear, get the food, upgrade said gear n buildings

cannot gurantee it'll look pretty though

[nocturne wolf]

Himminafl[4] is 85 pierce + 58 lightning
85 + 58 = 143
143 * 6 = 858

[west pulsar]

Yes but half pierce against charred

[nocturne wolf]

Up to 603 stagger vs charred is still good

[vital umbra]

i guess for now i could just make a box with the 45 degree roof....like i am just...without any hope at making this look interesting 😮‍💨 i just need to get this building done

[west pulsar]

Yea but i get that in 4 mistwalker hits and they're faster

[unborn nexus]

make that a power combo

MORE DAMAGE!

[idle storm]

if you need 4 hits to stagger your enemy has already hit back

[west pulsar]

Not to stagger

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker level 4 only has 75 stagger
You’d need a lot more than 4 hits

[west pulsar]

To do 600 damage which they're already dead lmao like a charred doesnt have 600 hp

[idle storm]

stagger is the entire point of using an atgeir

[nocturne wolf]

Charred warriors do

[west pulsar]

Parrying exists

Parry two hit

[unborn nexus]

if you can land it

• the presence of other enemies raising your stagger threshold as well

[cosmic igloo]

cant parry in vh

can barely parry in hard iirc

[unborn nexus]

can be subverted with proper food, practice

and maybe a lot of time digging a nice hole in the ground and luring a golem inside, then proceeding to block and block and block

[nocturne wolf]

A golem? You’d want something that attacks faster

[spiral dagger]

has anyone determined if drakkar is faster than the longship?

[unborn nexus]

hmmm

[vital umbra]

im so tired i suck even more at building soo gnn

[west pulsar]

Longship

[gray sand]

Raft.

[spiral dagger]

def swimming

[tiny tiger]

Floating in the water

(while tarred and frosty)

[spiral dagger]

lmao

[gray sand]

Tarred Frosty sounds like a PopTart flavor 😁

[tiny tiger]

Frosty poptarreds

[cosmic igloo]

dude its so funny how much u can get away with in this game, stuff like chair entering crypts, clearing mines with ooze bomb, bow and stagbreaker, killing bosses with variations of campfire

speedrunner's paradise

[unborn nexus]

Don't want to lug a stack of silver down the mountain in a cart?

make a boat atop said mountain and bobsled down

[tiny tiger]

FINALLY ive found the bog witch

[cosmic igloo]

LOL

[tiny tiger]

the irony is shes on the smouldering tomb island that I discovered at like day 40? Its day 120 now lol

And this swamp has bonemass and is stacked with crypts and surtling too

[unborn nexus]

i do love sulfur raids

I find with default settings raids aren’t really that much of a bother, I’ve gotten less than 5 raids in the span of 120 days

[unborn nexus]

some more painful than useful

[tiny tiger]

Although I haven’t dealt with plains raids yet

[gray sand]

Not a bother to me, but my poor Boars 😭

[unborn nexus]

or just a nuisance

hildir is self imposed difficulty

[tiny tiger]

aw man I’m struggling with wolf pelts I’ve realised I could just tame the wolves

[unborn nexus]

be in plains and hope for wolves

then find a village

[tiny tiger]

My first every playthrough I got absolutely trashed by a wolf raid in plains lol

[gray sand]

"You are being Hunted"
Not when I have Blackmetal Atgeir. 😛

[unborn nexus]

yeah also atgeir

wolves have terrain advantage in mountains
not so much in a flat open space where anything else is also hostile to em

due to the game instantly spawning mobs to keep up with the raid limit, the more you kill quickly means more rewards

[rain flare]

I had this once….
While I was in a boat 😂

Silly doggo’s trying to get to me as I blissfully sail on by

[final bloom]

FireBall goes boom

[tacit crystal]

Or the big axe

[tiny tiger]

i have a little plains plateau surrounded completely by swamp with bog witch a stone throw away so im clearing it out and some nice trolls decide to come for a raid and help me clear out the rocks

[wide topaz]

Do wiki editors have a channel/space to communicate with developers?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[wide topaz]

Thanks. I'm starting to wonder if the flower name people are wiki people lol, since I ask wiki question, receive flower name response

[merry pebble]

The flower only means we were here in spring of this year 😄

So usually people who have it are here for ať least that long or longer

[wide topaz]

Ah, so I've mistaken 'enthusiast of editing articles' with 'enthusiast of game in general that knows stuff about it' 😛

[merry pebble]

More or less 😁 but if you want to know who edits the Wiki and Is in the Wiki channel then look for role "Chronicler" 🙂

[wide topaz]

Thank you, I appreciate that

Oh, actually I was going to ask - Are there any wiki pages that are considered good examples of style? The style guide is helpful, but even better for me are examples that everyone likes best.

[tiny tiger]

I severely underestimated the size of this island and I am ill equipped for such a long journey

holy fuck this is probably the biggest island on my world, it has every biome so far other than meadows

I forgot to bring portal mats and extra food, I have like 4 mins to get to portal home before food runs out and have to go through plains and swamp

[merry pebble]

Can't really say myself, i mostly do minor fixes and not page formating 😅

[ashen shale]

how can i unlock the ashlands gourmet bowl ?

[foggy glacier]

defeat Fader.

[ashen shale]

hey do i have to defeat him again?

[nocturne wolf]

No. After killing him, the bog witch should sell a new ingredient

You also need cooked asksvin tails, vineberries and scorching medleys.

[ashen shale]

i have all the ingredients, but for me its the only recipe that wohnt unlock

[foggy glacier]

you have the fire spice powder?

[ashen shale]

yes

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-help/#screenshots
Could you show us?

[nocturne wolf]

Are you looking in the food preparation table, not the cauldron?

[fallen zephyr]

Have you cooked the asksvin?

[ashen shale]

ah thank you i have it now 😉

[fallen zephyr]

What was it?

[ashen shale]

Cooked asksvin xD

[foggy glacier]

not surprised. Nobody thinks to cook asksvin tails.

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, the pedantry around particularly cooking materials is a bit much. You'd think having the raw ingredient would unlock the recipe, then just require it to be cooked before it can be a reagent.

[pine robin]

I need some advice please. Im trying to stick with certain weapon types on my playthrough for sort of consistency. Im in the black forest and im wondering if 2 hand hammers are worth using pretty much everywhere. I know you should probably change weapons for every biome but i like the kind of roleplay aspect of it. If hammers are not the best all arounder could someone tell me what is please

[gray sand]

You definitely don't have to change every biome.

Plains may get a bit rough because there is no 2-H hammer from Mountain or Plains, meaning you're using a Swamp weapon (3 biomes behind).
But then you get the Demolisher in the Mistlands and life is great again.

iirc 2-H hammers share the same skill tree as "clubs", so you can switch to 1-H maces for a couple biomes if you wish and then switch back.

[pine robin]

thats a good idea. i like the whole idea of huge weapon big hits kinda thing

[gray sand]

Valid.

[pine robin]

itll basically be 2-H hammer and bow

[gray sand]

Fun and valid.

If you just want biome-specific "clubs" your path would be:

Wooden Club (1-h)
Stag Breaker
Iron Sledge
Frostner (1-h)
Porcupine (1-h)
Demolisher

Then you can either just keep Demolisher or swap to one of the elemental Flametal maces in Ashlands (1-h).

[pine robin]

is the demolisher good in ashlands?

[gray sand]

Very.

[crude sparrow]

Im dying while searching a good place for a portal base 💀

[gray sand]

Things like to swarm you.
It creates a lot of space.

[cosmic igloo]

twohanded hammers are very good throughout the game

[pine robin]

okay cool thanks a lot man

[gray sand]

👍 Enjoy smashing.

[cosmic igloo]

one huge ability is that you can hit enemies through walls with em

[crude sparrow]

I prefer swords, but we need some maces in swamps

[foggy glacier]

Don't look for a good place, just dump down a workbench and portal, then run away from it. Find a rock or something to jump on to deal with enemies.

Also, good to have materials for 2 workbenches and portals with you, if you can. When I'm sailing, I look for large rocks to build on (in BF and plains) or huts with stilts (swamp) and I'll jump ashore there.

[fallen zephyr]

I agree with @foggy glacier. Just find a quiet corner for your portal. Then use the access to find an area worth investing time and effort into.

[cosmic igloo]

holy fuck. fighting 1 star seeker + 2x normal seeker on like a 6x6 rocky surface with water around on vh with iron helm/root/fenris legs

that mightve been the most difficult shit ive ever done in this game

[rocky widget]

are you in mistlands at night?

[fallen zephyr]

Mistlands make the game harder in like 4-5 different ways.

[cosmic igloo]

4 deaths total and 1 body recovery

[cosmic igloo]

nah i was outside of a mines enrance

[rocky widget]

yeah thats the only other reason youll find a 1* seeker

but at least you found a mine

[cosmic igloo]

yea i swear the #1 enemy of mistlands is the terrain. rocky cliffs and small islands surrounded by water

[nocturne wolf]

1-star seekers can spawn randomly at day. It’s only 2-stars that have to be at night

[cosmic igloo]

ya this island im on now has 4x mines on it so far lol and its not even that big. cracked

[fallen zephyr]

Also, the seeker big attack has absurd reach. Dodge is your friend with seekers.

[cosmic igloo]

yea its weird, like when it's reaching its sliding to you

idk the word for it but it looks like it's not gonna reach you since it's starting the attack far from you but then it just glides to you

deceptive

[nocturne wolf]

One of their attacks has 100% movespeed

Another has 50, and the rest are all 0 though
Also their attack hitboxes are very short so jumping is effective

(Their highest attack reaches 2m above the ground)

[pine robin]

Do all 2-H hammers have the same moveset as the stagbreaker?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[pine robin]

Okay I’m guessing the ideal way if maining a hammer would be parry hit parry hit kind of thing

[cosmic igloo]

you can jump back and as you land, you load up a strike

[pine robin]

Load up a strike?

[nocturne wolf]

That will work against weaker enemies, but starred enemies in later biomes may be too strong to parry

[gray sand]

Or just windup your hits as they approach. Enemies will never get close to you.

[cosmic igloo]

just meaning you hit as you land

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacking will be very helpful because of the long attack animation

[cosmic igloo]

kiting like that works great

[pine robin]

Ohhhh okay I see. So kind of like hit and run kind of thing

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[pine robin]

Oh okay I understand now

[cosmic igloo]

stagbreaker is goated to deal with blobs in swamp if you're not using poison pot

[rich ice]

It's also really nice for the leeches, with the downward strike.

[fallen zephyr]

I've spoken with the leeches and they are unanimous about how Stagbreaker is objectively NOT nice.

[gray sand]

Stagbreaker?
More like Leechbreaker 😏

[kindred hare]

do yall have any reccomendations for ways to make solo playing a bit "better"/"easier"? i find its a bit too big of a game and doesnt entirely seemed balanced for solo. maybe im just bad? haha are there any mods or anything

[nocturne wolf]

The game is entirely balanced around solo play

[gray sand]

It is designed and balanced for 100% solo.

What particular aspects are giving you trouble?

[nocturne wolf]

You could take a look at world modifiers if you haven’t already

[kindred hare]

mosty fighting when ive got multiple enemies that take several hits.

in the past i made it to the dragon boss. but my pc was so bad, so I had a hard time as the game strained my FPS

now im going to elder. but stuff in the black forest kinda smacks me if i get too many enemies agrod. and sometimes i cant help that

stuff like the forest is moving too

[gray sand]

Drop the difficulty slider down one peg and see how it feels.

[kindred hare]

do i do that in main menu?

[gray sand]

Also food is the most important stat in the game.
Most people (not saying you, specifically) that have troubles with combat, when we dig into it, they tend to be running absolute shit food and then wondering why things are difficult.

[gray sand]

Yes. Select your world then click "World Modifiers."

[merry pebble]

On the world selection screen 🙂

[kindred hare]

yea i dont have great stuff. but i dont have awful stuff either.

[nocturne wolf]

Have you upgraded your shield and weapons? You can get them to level 3 before defeating any boss

[kindred hare]

usually cooked meat and honey.
have bronze stuff. troll armor for now. prolly will use bronze for boss

[merry pebble]

You dont have a cauldron?

[gray sand]

That is not good food...

[nocturne wolf]

Make a cauldron and start farming carrots

[kindred hare]

it is for what ive been doing. its just mostly meadows or running back and for from the outskirts of the black forest.

when i really need it ive got a stock of carrot stuff. but i dont need it much eyt

oh portal items are nice. thats one of my bigger things. having to hoof metal for a billion miles

[nocturne wolf]

That can be changed with world modifiers

[kindred hare]

thats what im refering to. i hadnt seen that stuff before.

[gray sand]

Once you have Carrots you should not eat something that wasn't prepped in the Cauldron for a good long while.

[kindred hare]

why would i waste my good stuff if im just chilling in meadows

[gray sand]

How is infinitely re-growable material a "waste"?

[kindred hare]

you underestimate my deaths hah. but now maybe wont be

[gray sand]

Deer Stew, Minced Meat Sauce, Carrot Soup

[lethal spire]

Does anyone know how to request a translation correction? The game in Brazilian Portuguese has some errors, such as words with missing letters and items translated with made-up names instead of the real ones.

[merry pebble]

Go here https://www.valheimgame.com/support/ and you have translation errors tab there 🙂

[lethal spire]

Thanks

[vocal rivet]

Some items don't have real names though, they're exclusive to Valheim.

[gray sand]

What? Himminmminimmminimm Afl isn't a real thing?

[teal matrix]

Just got my hands on the primal slayer, nothing feels better than seeing those roots coil around my enemy.

😂

[gray sand]

Personally would never put Green on a melee weapon, but if you're enjoying it that is what matters.

[teal matrix]

Just seemed like the best choice for me tbh. I'm often one of our melee fighters so the less things I have to dodge or worry about for a moment the better.

Plus, the green blade looks sick.

[arctic garnet]

Green is my favorite color

[wintry valve]

I have a feeling that green beserkir axe could go a long way

[gray sand]

In a vacuum? Sure.
Compared to the Ling Berserkers? Not even close.

[wintry valve]

the only problem is that I feel like being paralyzed is kind of a suggestion for certain monsters

[pine robin]

whats the best 3 foods for black forest

[light moat]

Pretty much any combination of the cauldron foods- carrot soup, minced meat sauce, queens jam, etc. not really a “best” option I think

Think a few players avoid boar jerky though

[nocturne wolf]

There are small differences but if it’s all from the right tier and not SSS or HHH it really doesn’t matter

[gray sand]

Pinned in this channel you will find the food sheet I wrote.

What you want is on the Configurations tab.

[pine robin]

oh okay thanks

[wintry valve]

I would go with minced meat sauce, carrot soup, and deer stew

two hp foods, and one stamina

[tiny tiger]

I’ve just had a look at it and there’s no serpent stew?

[gray sand]

Did you see the giant, bolded note about Serpent Stew? 😄

[tiny tiger]

I’m viewing on mobile and I’d assume I didn’t

I do see it now tucked away in the corner

[gray sand]

I don't think a single sheet I have made in the history of my gaming has ever been for mobile. So whatever mobile does to normal sheets is beyond my control.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah mobile sucks for spreadsheets lol

[gray sand]

Dude... charge your damn phone 😄

How are you just walking around at 21%??? 😄

[tiny tiger]

I’m at home and its still new so the battery holds well lol

Although good idea

[west pulsar]

Howdy

[gray sand]

🤠

[leaden elbow]

yo got my first flour and it said i unlocked uncooked lox pie or something but im not seeing it in the menu. got a lvl 4 cauldron and an oven near it (if it even matters)

[gray sand]

Anything that goes in the Oven starts on the Prep Table.

[tiny tiger]

Food prep station

[leaden elbow]

oh that makes more sense

[tiny tiger]

Yep

[leaden elbow]

just weird that everywhere i looked on google it said cauldron, turns out its outdated i guess

[tiny tiger]

It is a fairly new change

Im hoping the wiki is started on updating outdated info after 1.0

Id be glad to help

[gray sand]

Well over a month since patch isn't "fairly new" imo 🤷‍♂️

[tiny tiger]

That’s subjective, it’s the latest update

[odd helm]

I thought the wiki was getting updated pretty often since bog witch PTB

[tiny tiger]

Who knows

[gray sand]

See, this is a google problem.

I type "unbaked lox pie" into Bing and "Produced in Food Preparation Table" is literally the top result 😄

[tiny tiger]

On valheim Wiki?

[gray sand]

Yup.

[tiny tiger]

I only just found out today that fishing bait doesn’t require previous biome fish to make, after seeing every video about it mention needing previous fish and a trophy lol

So I’m glad they decided to make it a little more convenient since the last time people fished in the game

[gray sand]

Watching videos about games 😄

Instead of just playing them 😄

[tiny tiger]

For the most part I like to know what I’m getting into before trying, it’s how I’ve approached most games I’ve considered buying and purchased

[gray sand]

I'm old... I remember when that wasn't possible to do.

Your only preview of any game was reading the box.

[tiny tiger]

What are you like 40?

[gray sand]

Back when boxes had game manuals in them... I miss reading those... 😦

[odd helm]

Thing with videos and articles is that they can very easily be outdated between versions, only reliable sources of info (outside the game itself) will be stuff that is updated consistently

So, the wiki, and asking here

[gray sand]

Translation: Scarlet is the only reliable source of info 😛

[odd helm]

I try my best~

[gray sand]

-# Except when her real life prevents her from swiftly updating things 😛

[vocal rivet]

It is.

[vocal rivet]

You're more than welcome to come help us. There are over 1000 pages on the Wiki now and less than a dozen of us regularly editing it

[tiny tiger]

First thing I’m adding is a page for the straw hat if that hasn’t been done yet I know two days ago it wasn’t made yet

[tiny tiger]

Is there a place somewhere that shows what is yet to be added or needs redoing?

[vocal rivet]

Well, we have https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Work_in_progress and https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki:Editing_Projects

I'd also read https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki:Manual_of_Style to see how we format content, too

[tiny tiger]

Thank you, I should have some free time tomorrow to take a look at this and get started on a draft

Will save for future use

[vocal rivet]

Shouldn't take long, it's a very simple item. Just copy one of Hildir's other items for reference. There's even a link to the hat from her page.

[tiny tiger]

Okay while copying over from Fishing Hat ive noticed an error, fishing hat set effects are listed as resistances on the page

[vital umbra]

hi derek

[tiny tiger]

now that im looking at it it would make more sense for the straw hat to be part of a Farming Set page rather than a standalone page

[west pulsar]

Rah

[vital umbra]

ahh i can git gud with combat but i cannot git gud with building something that doesn't look ass.....but i guess its not the priority right now, must procrastinate more.

hi

[tiny tiger]

the thing about building is its trial and error and experimentation and is very subjective while combat is about timing and positioning, just keep experimenting with different styles of building, you can break it down to trying to create just the front of a house and how a wall with windows would look, a bedroom design etc

A good build is made over time so start with a base and add and rework it as you go along

[west pulsar]

Isnt the valheim combat supposed to be easy? Its just scaled crazy high to give the illusion of difficulty

[vital umbra]

gonna make something grand......a building....it will be square, and the roof will be a 45 degree triangle 🤩

[gray sand]

Scaled high?

[west pulsar]

Damage wise

[vital umbra]

it will have a door, maybe even two....there will be lights inside of it, and maybe it will be warm.

[cosmic igloo]

kinda, but theres other factors like the character being slow and environment effects and amount of mobs + different types of mobs

[vital umbra]

i'm thinking the building might have a couple floors, a ceiling even.

[cosmic igloo]

so ends up being difficult

[vital umbra]

hi sev

[west pulsar]

The mobs are only ever an issue in large groups

[gray sand]

Damage scales with how much damage reduction you get and how high your HP also scales as you progress.
That's why people who neglect food (for hitherto unknown reasons) feel the game is hard.

[vital umbra]

notice me senpai

[cosmic igloo]

and also some mobs have weird attack timings, like wolf attacking you the moment it makes contact, or charred warriors feinting

[tiny tiger]

Best way to improve at building in my opinion is to start with small buildings and work your way up, like try making a building the size of bog witch hut and making it look homely and cozy

[west pulsar]

Yea tbh the Ashlands isnt hard its tedious

[nocturne wolf]

Once you learn to jump properly all combat becomes easy

[cosmic igloo]

like if you just arrived in mountain and encounter 2x wolves and the terrain is not flat. that combat encounter can be quite difficult

[west pulsar]

You need a portal every 100 feet just about

[tiny tiger]

I jump over draugr arrows when charging them

[cosmic igloo]

why

[west pulsar]

Yea but wolves are insanely easy to sprint dodge

[cosmic igloo]

and now imagine you just climbed a mountain so you have no stamina

[nocturne wolf]

Or you can hit them first because they’ll likely get staggered

[west pulsar]

Because i don't like fighting 10 charred a morgen and 3 vultures

[cosmic igloo]

why

its easy, no?

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands introduces friendly fire to make groups like these more manageable

[west pulsar]

Because its impossible to effectively counter without magic

[nocturne wolf]

Without skill *

[vital umbra]

right i shouldn't have said anything about the combat, it is easy but the biggest issues are just simply when you run out of stamina or are cornered.

[cosmic igloo]

aight well thats another discussion xD (answer: staff of the wild), but then that means it not easy right?

[west pulsar]

With magic fairly

[vital umbra]

I never used magic in the ashlands or mistlands, i am only attempting it now.

[west pulsar]

Without its a lot of rolling around enemies

[vital umbra]

just like....pretty much fucking rip and tear until it is done 😍

[west pulsar]

Again tedious because i can't trade 10 enemies hit for hit so its just time

[nocturne wolf]

Against any attack that can be jumped over, jumping is better than rolling

[vital umbra]

that sounds weird

[west pulsar]

If you have a portal you can trade off 3-5 go into a portal heal go back smack them done

[nocturne wolf]

Or just don’t get hit

[vital umbra]

i ain't playing super mario over here

[west pulsar]

I typically just backwalk them works on most enemies

[west pulsar]

It's also a little bit of meta gaming I've always been against "if you do this slightly cheese mechanic its easier" jumping over attacks is goofy and not something i think was intended and if it is I'd love an explanation as to why

Because jumping over a great sword is goofy

[nocturne wolf]

If it’s not intended why is there a cape and mead to improve it?

And how is it cheese

[west pulsar]

Also to answer this no there's a difference between something not being difficult ie requiring skill ie playing music and something being scaled highly anyone here is welcomed to get more than 5 feet into the Ashlands with shit gear if it was entirely just a skill thing you could do it but its borderline impossible this is the difference between something being difficult compared to something being scaled to be harder hard doesn't mean difficult valheim can be hard not difficult

[west pulsar]

I figured for exploring

[nocturne wolf]

Using a cart to destroy a Dvergr crate or letting a boss die on a bonfire is cheese. Not dodging attacks.

[west pulsar]

Yea but the idea of jumping out of reach is nothing short of loonie toons funny

Like do you understand how high one needs to jump to accomplish that 😭

[light moat]

Jumping over attacks is a little funny, but it’s certainly not cheese- it’s just effective. Hitting enemies through walls with a maul, thats cheese lol

[lusty dirge]

Why, that's also just effective

[light moat]

If you want to get into the technicality of things, rolling to dodge is just as ridiculous haha

[west pulsar]

Yea but i can pretend it'll work rolling 5 feet away against a monster makes more sense than jumping 10 feet straight up 😭

Im just saying its kinda funny

With the feather cape and potion it's like what 15 feet?

I have like a 90ish something jump skill so my base jump is already high

Ok yea my estimate was Right wiki says 3M or 10f at 100 skill feels like it

Oh and the capes jump got removed in the bog update

[nocturne wolf]

Anywhere between 1 (fuling shaman melee) to 5.3 (troll log horizontal swing) metres

Maybe higher, I don't know ashlands melee hitboxes

[west pulsar]

Yea but 😭 jumping 12 feet into the air with a lightfood mean is funny 😭
