[nocturne wolf]

"Funny "
Not "funny 😭"

[west pulsar]

Nah its both to me

I wish they would stop nerfing the feather cape

[shy marlin]

feather cape deserved every nerf it got

[vital umbra]

no, nerfs are bad.

[west pulsar]

Like okay fine the fire weakness isnt that bad but removing the jump is bleh

[nocturne wolf]

It's in a good spot now, the jump stamina reduction is perfect and the weakness is worth it

[west pulsar]

Yea but the extra jump was nice i miss it

[vital umbra]

The feather cape is fine and i still like it but i hate nerfs i don't care what they are.

[nocturne wolf]

If the mead was as expensive as it used to be there would be a problem, but it's easy to get consistently now

[vital umbra]

i thought i remembered it using hare trophies

[west pulsar]

Me too the fire felt needed because it can be easily offset

[west pulsar]

Yea fire resistance is cheap so its fine

[nocturne wolf]

It did, and now it takes scale hide which is much less luck-dependent

[west pulsar]

I still like the ashen cape though

[west pulsar]

I made it when it took the trophy

[vital umbra]

ahh well the only reason i use the feather cape in the ashlands is because it looks best with emblas set

[west pulsar]

Oh for me i literally refuse to not use ashen i need that extra armor

[vital umbra]

the asksvin cape looks good with nothing, except maybe asks set.

the ashen cape is peak except for the fact it completely blocks out your entire face with emblas set

[west pulsar]

I forgot what it does because it's butt ugly

[west pulsar]

A small price to pay for salvation

[vital umbra]

the asksvin cape?

[west pulsar]

Yea i made it though it was ugly and never touched it again

[nocturne wolf]

You run faster and when running with the wind it costs significantly less stamina

[west pulsar]

Oh less run stamian neat

Thats the main bonus wind direction is a gimmick

[shy marlin]

everyone complaining about the feather cape nerf but no one complaining about the ask cape nerf lol

[vital umbra]

bruh what who gives a fuck about run stamina at the point of the ashlands where you have skill 75+ in running 😭

[unborn nexus]

yall wonder why the swamp has no cape

[west pulsar]

Well ngl when i got to Ashlands my skills were in the 30s ive just done a lot since then

[vital umbra]

jeus

[west pulsar]

I was wanting a flesh cape ngl

[vital umbra]

my run skill is 96 in the mistlands

[west pulsar]

My learning curve of this game was bad i died a lot early on but nowadays not so much

[unborn nexus]

think it was monstrum + armory but you can get a flesh cape

[west pulsar]

What

[unborn nexus]

made out of rotten deer meat + maggot pelts
disgusting but it gives you poison resist

[tiny tiger]

Jesus Christ Ashland’s with 30 skills?

[west pulsar]

Yes

[tiny tiger]

Im on mountains with 40s

[west pulsar]

It was unbelievably hard

[tiny tiger]

Is 30 pre death or post dying

[vital umbra]

just turn down death penalty at that point cuz 🥴

[west pulsar]

Idk i floated at 30 ish because i kept dying

I solo ran the game with no guide

[tiny tiger]

30s does sound like a struggle, from what I seen with Ingame dev tools you’re meant to be around 50-60 for mistlands - Ashland’s

[vital umbra]

iiii mean i did too technically...i didn't find my way to the server here until weeks ago after i already finished the ashlands experience

[odd helm]

-# skill levels are honestly not that important

[west pulsar]

They are

[vital umbra]

they're important to my soul, hi scarlet.

[odd helm]

-# like, they help, but gear upgrades are far more important

[tiny tiger]

Id argue run skill is

It’s a world of a difference from lvl 0 to 50 to 100

[west pulsar]

They basically increase all your shit by around 40%+ that's damage stamian consumption bow draw time etc

[tiny tiger]

Im currently on lvl 57

[vital umbra]

bow and run and jump and magic and farming and cooking.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah blood magic for that extra shield

[west pulsar]

Idk how do i check my skills lmao i only know when they level up

[vital umbra]

they're important if you actively level them*

[vital umbra]

look in the menu for things and that stuff in the corner for things

[west pulsar]

What English

[tiny tiger]

inventory screen, top right to the right of the raven icon

[merry pebble]

Yes, but also there is a few biomes of difference between those levels basically, i would say at least 3 between 50 and 100 or even more, the difference beween equipment 3 or more biomes apart is WAY bigger 🙂

[west pulsar]

Ok

[vital umbra]

its like yeah if you look over where it probably is

[west pulsar]

I've legit never used that menu

[tiny tiger]

Crazy

[west pulsar]

No I'm completely serious

[tiny tiger]

Is this your first playthrough?

[vital umbra]

hello completely serious

[west pulsar]

Technically yes but ive played others worlds

Same character its why my skills are high i did most of the game 3 times

[tiny tiger]

Have you found bog witch?

And the other traders?

[west pulsar]

Oh yea

[vital umbra]

ahh witchie-poo my beloved 🥰

[west pulsar]

I have maxed out this world pretty much

Got every trophy ive beaten fader twice i got every ashlands weapon did all mini bosses yada yada

Im just kinda dreading making a new world but i suppose I'll play this one again when the north comes out

[foggy glacier]

I assume you don't have the fishing hat then.

[west pulsar]

No i HATE FISHING MAN

[light moat]

Another fishing hater 🥲

[west pulsar]

Also i accidentally made like 15 asksvins in my pen so

Oh bro my skills are so cooked

[vital umbra]

don't make me drag you to the black forest to get troll fish for me

fishing can be enjoyable

[west pulsar]

Bro i did that for the potion and wanted to get angry

The fishing for some reason makes me angy

Yea also all my main skills are like 95+

There are a few i never use like fists of knives

[tiny tiger]

I just got the lamest moder fight ever, I built a little trench underneath the altar and she managed to spawn there and is stuck and unable to get out

[west pulsar]

That-

[tiny tiger]

oh crap she managed to get out finally

[vital umbra]

hmm

[west pulsar]

Bro i had to clear item drops because it was lagging my game out i need to use the obliterator more

[vital umbra]

why are you not already

i need too much wood for building my kilns haven't seen use in an age because of the obliterator

[west pulsar]

Well because i have about 10 surtling farms

I dont need coal and i already smelted down everything but my flametal so idk i don't need coal so ive been dropping garbage in my pit

Who needs more coal when i have like 20 piles

[merry pebble]

You will 😄 soon enough

[west pulsar]

For what?

No im completely serious for what exactly

[tiny tiger]

okay well moder felt lame this time around, she kept getting stuck on the castle and in the trench sometimes when landing, or spazzing out while mine and her hitboxes clipped and being unable to attack

my first time ever fighting her it was a deadly battle and i died a few times and dont remember her bugging out at all tbh

[vital umbra]

more of everything for more stuff

[west pulsar]

I seriously doubt I'll need more

Like i can show you what metals i have imo i dont need MORE

Maybe copper if that gets a use

[vital umbra]

next you're gonna tell me you throw away black metal, and don't break every single piece of ancient armour and weapon, and don't mine all the flametal you see, and don't sap mountains dry of silver.

[west pulsar]

Well i hate the mistlands so yea i literally made a farm i barely touch and that's it. As for silver well i have enough for an army and flametal ahahahah one sec I'll show you how much i have

[tiny tiger]

Bruh moder unearthed like 164 silver for me

[vital umbra]

iron and copper have infinite uses

[tiny tiger]

I can max my frostner and silver armor now

[west pulsar]

Like? Other than nails

[tiny tiger]

But I think im just gonna try rush padded

[vital umbra]

do you build

[west pulsar]

Yea

But nails are cheap

[vital umbra]

iron beams, iron torches, copper sconces, dvergr gates and stairs and walls, iron bars

[west pulsar]

Iron? Yea iron ik but iron isnt copper. And i dont really use that stuff to build

Other than my pet house

[unborn nexus]

iron gates are good doors

[cosmic igloo]

copper for dverg wall lantern

[light moat]

10 copper to make hanging braziers 😅
oh, and 5 tin as well

[tiny tiger]

Yo so uhhh, there’s the sound of someone mining come from my swamps somewhere ???

It’s a solo world so I’m really confused rn

[vital umbra]

valheim-obrine...😱

[cosmic igloo]

schizo viking pog

[tiny tiger]

Omg it was steam background recording of me in the plains earlier 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

For some reason it was playing even with the overlay hidden

[tiny tiger]

Also can I just say ratatosk mead is such a game changer

I’ve been using it every single moment since I’ve gotten it and the best part of it is it helps you find the ingredients needed to craft it faster

10 blueberries 10 honey and some coins for an hours worth of speed is a godsend

[cosmic igloo]

ikr

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, I didn’t use them for a while at first but now I’m addicted to ratatosk and lightfoot.

[tacit crystal]

My viking getting liver cirrhosis from all that Ratatosk tonic he consumes.

[tulip stirrup]

ein deutscher bock auf entspannt vahlheim

[unborn nexus]

it clicked through

valheim has this funny overlay issue where you can click things through it

[tiny tiger]

Ahhh

[unborn nexus]

ex: clicking through tabs selecting music and pausing the game

or unpausing it

[tiny tiger]

Also has anyone found a decent use for troll endurance mead yet

Because so far I’ve only had one genuine use case for it being carrying two dragon eggs up at the same time for the moder fight

Could have carried all 3 too if I didn’t have 1 already up there

[unborn nexus]

ore grinding

[tiny tiger]

With it only lasting 5 minutes?

[unborn nexus]

one such example is silver

make a bench n chest
pop the node
load the ore inside the chest
pop the potion
run back

hate the duration though

[vital umbra]

i like bread

[tiny tiger]

hmm maybe but realistically a node usually drops around 80-100 so it would be two trips minimum

A cart down the mountain would be just one trip…

[unborn nexus]

read: lazy ass

[unborn nexus]

true but a physics hating thing in one of the most uneven and hostile places of the world

[vital umbra]

are there seriously people that don't throw carts down the sides of mountains?

[tiny tiger]

But I mean I guess, I don’t bother with either I just run from mountain to base this playthrough repeatedly carrying 27 at a time lol

[west pulsar]

Those things i swear to god dont emit light

[vital umbra]

they look good though

[west pulsar]

Agreed i have them

[unborn nexus]

not that i am bad at driving carts

re-finding the thing is the annoying part

[tiny tiger]

I think troll endurance should make heavy carts easier to carry too

[unborn nexus]

plus at 1000 weight the cart becomes very hard to move

[tiny tiger]

as it stands I feel it’s use cases are extremely limited compared to the other potions

[unborn nexus]

another use is building projects

[vital umbra]

throw it off the mountain

[unborn nexus]

as you can't build with no stamina, but alas you can just chuck the bmats onto the floor

[tiny tiger]

Yeah and have the resources already set up for easy installation at the building site

[west pulsar]

Carts SUCK

I used one once and decided its a waste of time

[tiny tiger]

agreed, I’ve only used them a handful of times on my current world, to transport resources from the east coast to my base on the west coast

[unborn nexus]

low hp, reliant on physics/slopes/even surfaces, and a target for enemies

also you can't decon a cart, only destroy it

[tiny tiger]

I think the only major use case I can think of for carts is going to the woods to chop wood

and I guess silver down a mountain side lol

[unborn nexus]

where you might get 100% of the materials used for it back, or not

not to mention the cart gets damaged by merely moving it around

[tiny tiger]

What we need is a catapult that can transport resources lol

Add a payload that can hold 4 stacks of items

[nocturne wolf]

Throwing yourself down in the cart is the fun part

[unborn nexus]

A lox can carry infinite weight

problem is that they can't exactly swim

[nocturne wolf]

They can

[tiny tiger]

^

[unborn nexus]

and are helpless against mosquitos

[unborn nexus]

not the whole ocean

[tiny tiger]

Oh right

Well I mean there’s serpents in the oceans

[livid zenith]

But boats

[unborn nexus]

i think you can fit them on a ship

but fitting one of the fattest fucks in the game onto a ship
yeah

[tiny tiger]

Longship yeah but I heard they can get aggroed off it

[vital umbra]

i can swim the whole ocean

[nocturne wolf]

In my first playthrough we moved two loxes across 2-3 islands to our base by making them swim

[tiny tiger]

and definitely drakkar lol

I’ve still never tamed wolves in the game

I think half the reason is because I usually don’t bother taming boar either so don’t really have much meat to spare for taming

[west pulsar]

I just did it recently now i have so many it lags my base

[tiny tiger]

Wolf pelts for life

[west pulsar]

TOO MANY

I play on 3x bro 2 stars drop literally so many

[tiny tiger]

You should go on a rampage with the butcher knife

[west pulsar]

I did and now i have a black chest of wolf meat

[vital umbra]

why would you kill puppies

[west pulsar]

I overstock food i should show you my feast table

[nocturne wolf]

For some delicious wolf meat skewers

[vital umbra]

horrible

[west pulsar]

My logic is i use the food from the biomes i go to. To explore those biomes

Because then i dont waste my good stuff

[nocturne wolf]

The wolves try to eat us. Is that horrible?

[unborn nexus]

eyescream n skewers are easy

[vital umbra]

just make more good stuff, i know i do, i'd rather have the extra stamina because why not..

[unborn nexus]

considering the sources of those materials always come to you

[vital umbra]

it sounded like the context was tamed animals

[west pulsar]

Yea but that takes TIMMEEEE

[vital umbra]

tamed wolves = puppies

[tiny tiger]

Rn I have. Mushroom shortage from all the skewers and serpent stew I’ve been cooking up

[west pulsar]

Tamed wolf only exist to kill the goblins in my plains and feed me

[nocturne wolf]

Tamed wolves make better skewers 😋

[vital umbra]

guys wait till you hear this horrifying fact, i am using misthare supreme and salad while building 😱

In the plaaaaiiiiinns 👻

[tiny tiger]

I’m not the best mushroom forager

[vital umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/mushrooms-pippin-lotr-shortcut-hobbits-gif-26263588

[unborn nexus]

he doesn't have shroom pins

[west pulsar]

Real shit though i have so much asksvin meat i might burn it

And if you think that's dumb i have something for you

[vital umbra]

you have askvin meat to use for all the lesser biomes, where is this tiiiiiime that you're talking about making good food.

save the puppies

[west pulsar]

Yea but i can farm that i can farm fiddleheads now can i mate

[unborn nexus]

meat for coal, trophies for the oblit

[tiny tiger]

I unlocked mustard supreme while still in mountain tier circumventing a mistlands biome there were just jotun puffs and hares that were easy to hunt

[west pulsar]

Its easy when one asksvin drops 24 MEAT

[tiny tiger]

so I have the recipe but no way to make it yet however I will have an oven pretty soon

[vital umbra]

mustard supreme

[west pulsar]

Mustard supreme

[unborn nexus]

cooking skill for some reason also can double the coal from burnt food

[vital umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/march-hare-mustard-alice-in-wonderland-gif-15419236

[tiny tiger]

master chef

[vital umbra]

i'm going to use gifs even if i can't, one of these days the mainframe might shatter and give me perms

[tiny tiger]

It truly is a shame we can’t post gifs or screenshots here

[vital umbra]

we can, just click the link anyways 🥴

i'll not yield to 1984

[west pulsar]

Obi i think you forget im on 3x 😭

Certain things are easier to get

[vital umbra]

you should have fucking 80k fiddlehead then

[west pulsar]

Bruh i HATE HATE HATE HATE the Ashlands

[vital umbra]

doesn't it already drop multiple and spawn everywhere on normal drop rates

[west pulsar]

Yes

[vital umbra]

git gud 🌟

[tiny tiger]

Okay the 3x drop rates actually explains your low lvl for skills and Ashland’s tier

[west pulsar]

Duly noted

[vital umbra]

idk how it does....less time spent getting things less time spent practicing stuff,,?..

[west pulsar]

I have no shame im solo and i give my resources to my other players in their worlds so i do kinda need it

[west pulsar]

Less time mining trees using pickaxe less time running back and forth less time

[vital umbra]

which playthrough'th is this of yours

[tiny tiger]

It’s not about shame it’s just I was wondering how lvl 30 skills in Ashland’s and that piece of info has connected the dots as obi said less time building up skills due to increased drops

[west pulsar]

Well i have one world but as i said i help 3 other people in theres

So my skills got basically power leveled as i was fighting everything

I literally had like 6 different firefights in the plains

On god bro that village had 4 berserkers and 3 mages and like at LEAST 20 normal ones and mosquitoes ive never seen enemies that dense since

[vital umbra]

"raiseskill run 100"

[west pulsar]

No im not at 100 hajajanajahaja

Im at high 90ish on that the only skill ive OUTRIGHT 99 is slash and thats because i use axes and swords the most by a large margin

I think the new skills like cooking are still sub 50 for me

[tiny tiger]

lol my swords skill is 0 I’m all in on frostner this run

And some investment in atgeirs and bows

[west pulsar]

Bows are my love

[vital umbra]

i hate sticking to a skill, all of my weapon skills are at about 40 right now except for magic, crossbows & atgeirs which i am currently leveling.

[west pulsar]

Well my blood magic is INSANELY high from memory

Ive used that dead raiser and staff so much its actually a joke

[tiny tiger]

I’d love to round out my weapon skills but rn I just don’t have the resources for all the weapons

[unborn nexus]

less doing = less skill learned

mining out an entire black forest does wonders for mining skill on 1x

[west pulsar]

Actually lemme just check my skills i got a second

[unborn nexus]

add in factor of dying lots

[tiny tiger]

Like rocks an all or just the ores?

[unborn nexus]

ores

[west pulsar]

Yea i died a lot in the latter half

[unborn nexus]

meadows has lots of rocks to crack

[west pulsar]

Ores lots of time

Also why are golems in the forest faction is there lore on this

[unborn nexus]

greydwarves are reanimated souls of dead people taken the form of well, that

[nocturne wolf]

It’s to make them fight wolves and drakes

[unborn nexus]

given the runestone

likely some forest spirit inhabits the golem too

[nocturne wolf]

Leeches aren’t undead but are put in the undead faction so they don’t fight swamp enemies. Faction names are never shown to the player in-game so you don’t need to think about the specific faction something is on, just what it is and isn’t friendly with.

Stone golems likely have no connection to the forest, that was just chosen to make them hostile to the mountains

[unborn nexus]

given that no matter how many times you kill a golem

it just keeps coming right back for more punishment

[west pulsar]

Oh okay yes but why are growth undead

[tiny tiger]

To fight fulings

[west pulsar]

Yea but why undead SPECIFICALLY

[tiny tiger]

and lox

[nocturne wolf]

So they fight plains enemies.
It could be any other faction and the gameplay would be exactly the same and you would never know without external information

[unborn nexus]

things likely drowned in the tarpits or sunk

there are giant bones near said pits

[west pulsar]

Well i guess oil is dead shit so

[nocturne wolf]

Blobs are undead, and it’s likely they were duplicated as a starting point for growths in development

[west pulsar]

Noted

[unborn nexus]

although golems are immune to drakes

[tiny tiger]

“Likely” basically guaranteed lmao, hell they duped troll for loxes

[unborn nexus]

i repeat, it never gets old seeing a golem slap a drake out of the air

[west pulsar]

Im not into coding at all wym by duped

[tiny tiger]

Ctrl c ctrl v

[west pulsar]

Yea but they're different

[unborn nexus]

fulings are more like boars

[vocal rivet]

You could just say duplicated.

[nocturne wolf]

They’d duplicate the blob’s files then edit those so they don’t have to make everything from scratch

[tiny tiger]

then edit into a lox

[unborn nexus]

smack you, run around in circles, repeat

[west pulsar]

Is that why lox have terrible ai

[tiny tiger]

Because of their troll hitbox and large hitbox in general

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve never noticed their ai being terrible

[vital umbra]

lox are so incredibly stupid

they move so awkwardly

[burnt glen]

Mhm

[unborn nexus]

lox are so stupid you don't even need to be sneaking to "backstab" them

[west pulsar]

I could drive a refrigerator at highway speeds better than the lox move

[tiny tiger]

the best place to not notice their ai suck is in open flat plains

[unborn nexus]

they're that dumb

[vital umbra]

they move like the game is a grid, suddently stopping and turning 90 degrees to the left or right then moving in that direction then stopping and turning 90 degrees towards you then stopping.

like playing fucking chess

[west pulsar]

They kinda move like gold generals in shogi

[tiny tiger]

Which enemy has the best ai?

[unborn nexus]

wolves or greydwarfs

[west pulsar]

Trolls are top tier greydrawfs are also braindamaged wolves are amazing hmmm

[unborn nexus]

they do one thing and one thing only, chase your ass no matter where you go

and when you actually pull out a weapon to beat them, they just turn tail and dodge it

[vital umbra]

Hmmmmmmmmm....best ai in terms of what? reliably dangerous or complex?

[west pulsar]

MOSQUITOS

Thats my opinion their ai is really good

[vital umbra]

fulings are harder to deal with but when you're fighting only one of them their hit and run combat style is actually really pathetic

[unborn nexus]

i notice that fuling berserkers alert other fulings to your position if they roar

[tiny tiger]

best ai in terms of feeling right

[unborn nexus]

pretty neat

[tiny tiger]

it’s completely based on your perception

[unborn nexus]

if a shaman is feeling particularly evil, they can give deathsquitos shields

[west pulsar]

They love to just randomly diagonal run

[tiny tiger]

I will agree that wolf ai is relentless

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers are great enemies because their tallest attack only reaches 2m up

[vital umbra]

most enemies in the ashlands seemed pretty good except for the morgen, stupid fucking rollie pollies, easily parryable.

[west pulsar]

So im basing it in how well their pathing works and how well they hunt the player

[unborn nexus]

fulings when i middle mouse click my atgeir

[west pulsar]

They roll like 30 feet away from me Everytime

[nocturne wolf]

So, wolves and draugr would be good?

Wraiths too

[west pulsar]

Wolves more so draugr are decent but kinda get stuck a tad on the terrain

[tiny tiger]

Draugr work pretty good yeah

[unborn nexus]

bow draugr are menaces

[burnt glen]

Anything that flies has decent AI

[vital umbra]

draugr are just beefier skeleton ai, boring.

[tiny tiger]

How is vulture and askvin ai?

[west pulsar]

Dog

Asksvin move like a shopping cart

[burnt glen]

Vulture is good, the dogs are okay too

[west pulsar]

Vulture is just average

[tiny tiger]

Sea serpent ai does a decent job for the most part although I feel like they should t just randomly stop chasing you sometimes

[vocal rivet]

Volture.

[burnt glen]

It does what it needs to fine. Doesn’t really have complex movements .

[west pulsar]

I feel like they lose interest after an x amount of time

[west pulsar]

Pretty much

[unborn nexus]

if enemies can't hit the player, they tend to skamper about

[tiny tiger]

I think as long as it’s storming or night they should be relentless

and then back off during the day as they’re clearly overgrown angler fish

[unborn nexus]

which can be a pain

[west pulsar]

I wouldn't know because i chase them

I literally just shoot them and pile drive them 😭

[tiny tiger]

I need to collect the scales so I gotta harpoon them and have them chase me into land

[west pulsar]

Oh fair the scales sink right?

[tiny tiger]

yep and trophy

Which I also happen to need for ocean fishing bait

[unborn nexus]

meat floats

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need a harpoon. Kill them by a beach and make a diving ladder

[tiny tiger]

that is true but the harpoon is just convenient

[west pulsar]

Yea no see i was kinda lucky because i literally beached my boat and the serpent somewhere and just shot it to death got a trophy

[tiny tiger]

If I drag the serpent onto a Black Forest shore I can have the local gremlins berate him and throw rocks at the idiot too

[west pulsar]

Idk they always spawn right in front of my face

Im no coward I'll slam my boat into the serpent

[tiny tiger]

How effective is that strategy in terms of damage? I’ve never tried it lol

[west pulsar]

Doesn't do lots of damage but it causes my screen to vibrate a bit and its funny

Usually they're a bit under the water so the bottom of my boat hits it and i full stop and shoot it to death with frost arrows

Jajajajajaan

Also am i the only one that goes from no enemies to a small army in 5 seconds when in the Ashlands

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands has higher spawn rates than other biomes

[west pulsar]

Yea but WHY YYYYY

It already has spawners EVERYWHERE

Its like making the enemies do a Godzilla amount of damage wasnt enough

[pliant hatch]

Because you were told to prepare for war.

And that doesn't mean you throw lox-pies at the occasional thief you notice when walking in a park. It means fighting for each and every inch of progress you have to make.

[west pulsar]

Eh fair enough the Ashlands had me fighting for a portal every 100 feet

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands is designed to be a more combat-focused biome than the others

[west pulsar]

Lord reto needs a trophy bruh i did allat for not even a trophy the mf can almost pop my 680 hp shield in one hit

[west pulsar]

Evidently

I would have liked to see more bigger enemies like the morgen though the bonemaw is cool i really like that add more sea shit

[nocturne wolf]

Morgens and valkyries is enough big enemies for one biome

[west pulsar]

Eh im just a sucker for them is all

I like mini bosses as well

[nocturne wolf]

(Big enemies and bouncy Vikings don’t go well together)

[west pulsar]

Well take the troll its of my favorite enemies in the game because its fun to fight at any level

Good ai i like the way it attacks i like the fact i can out position it

Same with abominations i just wish they didnt have so much knockback

I loved a flying big enemy like the fallen valks they're cool and give good drops

Name me one unfun big enemy (besides the lox they're ruined by their ai)

Lox are just too spongy and dumb af so they end up being a dummy that just randomly does a 180 then a 90 and another 90 and tries to hit me

Literally moves like a fridge

Do greydwarf brutes count as big?

[nocturne wolf]

With stars, fuling berserkers and morgens take too long to kill
But without stars they’re generally good

[nocturne wolf]

No

[west pulsar]

Berserkers nah they're easy to bait into hits morgens move around too much though

2400 hp is excessive I'll grant you that

But again morgens have 4800

5000 hp is what i describe as too spongy

[nocturne wolf]

The stars make them near-impossible to stagger too so it takes a lot longer than killing three 0-star of the same enemy

And morgens are 0.5x resistant to physical

[west pulsar]

Yea exactly morgens annoy me they're WAYYY too tanky

The normal ones have 1600 hp which feels fine

[nocturne wolf]

I think tankier enemies should get a smaller health increase with stars, although I suggested it before the server hack and people don’t agree

[west pulsar]

Yea well they're weird they think longer to kill means harder

Great i had to dodge hit hit dodge hit hit 3x as much SO MUCH HARDER

At least the staff of protection gives me 690 hp

Its worth eating my health bar for

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need any health if you’re using that staff right

[west pulsar]

Real shit boss abilities suck like yagluth gets outdone by potions fader is useful but niche elder might as well not exist eikthyr is weirdly solid early game moder is even more niche and queen is EVEN MORE niche

[west pulsar]

Rather be safe than sorry i use one feast one two eitr typically

That gives me a solid amount of hp

Sometimes i do double feast and hp

[nocturne wolf]

I’m trying perfectly balanced health and stamina for my current playthrough as an excuse to use the new feasts

[west pulsar]

Well the ashlands stuff and mistlands give 75 75 38 and 65 65 33 respectively

At my skill level 70 etir is enough for small tasks

[nocturne wolf]

I’m planning on using magic later in the playthrough but I won’t be using feasts then

[west pulsar]

For Ashlands i run 2 feasts and 1 etir

Which gives me 161 etir

195 (total) hp

155 stamina

I find thats usually enough i bring my dead raiser my staff of the wild and staff of protection

That way i only need to bring 1 food with me

[scarlet hill]

considering getting a steam deck, wonder how it runs valheim if anyone has done it ?

[nocturne wolf]

Mine runs it fairly well

[scarlet hill]

sweet, watching this atm looks promising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9sphPmFmV8

[nocturne wolf]

#valheim-help message
here’s my graphics settings if you’ll want them

[kindred hare]

yea. whoever said that this game was balanced for solo, i dont believe that. how tf am i expected to beat a boss that i cant even touch because im too busy getting 1 tapped by him even with the food that they said i need to eat

food thats actually barely better than the fish i had been using

[scarlet hill]

which boss is that ?

[kindred hare]

elder. i had beat him in the past. have no idea how tho been long time

[scarlet hill]

i first tried bonemass and moder

oh elder i only died first attempt then i knew how to prepare for the bosses lol

elder has only a few moves and its easy to move around them i think, i used only bow

[kindred hare]

yea but im too busy wasting all my stamina running to get away from those attacks

[scarlet hill]

when he throws that root projectile = sprint to dodge, when the adds spawn on your position, move away

yeah manage that stamina , i personaly used honey and two meats so i didnt have much stam to begin with

[kindred hare]

cant manage it. if i stop i die. if i keep going i cant attack.

[scarlet hill]

you wont die if you stop, because theres always a cooldown in elder's moves

[kindred hare]

doesnt seem to be

[scarlet hill]

the root projectile attack for example doesnt track your position 100%

[kindred hare]

im barely staying out of them. by the time i get away from 1 attack hes started his next and so on

[scarlet hill]

you simply dodge by sprinting out of the way

always make sure you save enough stamina to move

[kindred hare]

yea. thus the issue

[scarlet hill]

after i learnt some of the basics i been one trying all the bosses after elder now lol

im sure theres recorded boss kills on elder on youtube

like clean kills so ppl can learn how they position and manage their stamina etc

[pliant hatch]

Which weapons are you using to fight the Elder?

[scarlet hill]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/The_Elder shows their weaknesses and resistances if any too, which helps for bosses

i used fire arrows

[vocal rivet]

Heh.

[scarlet hill]

when elder spawns the adds under your feet, you move away and it resolves the entire attack

[vocal rivet]

Hey, that's unusual, I don't have a single edit on that page.

[kindred hare]

i got it. the attack that was killing me was going thru trees. i am standing behind the pillars and its fine now. sprinting was the wrong tip.

[scarlet hill]

also the root projectile is completely blocked by the stone pillars on the summoning location

[kindred hare]

that would be what i just said.

[scarlet hill]

i also just used those pillars as shields, but i have killed him without also haha

sprinting isnt the wrong tip cause you can simply move out of the way, the roots will follow you abit but it wont track as fast as your sprinting

[kindred hare]

except, when they do.

[scarlet hill]

you just need to sprint further away, and have enough stamina to do so

10 - 30 stamina shd be enough based on how far elder is

if i need alot of corewood i just get elder to mow down all the pine trees for me haha

[light moat]

Hmm I feel moving away from the Elder isn’t the best move. When you’re far from him, that’s when he does his ranged attack. Personally, I like to stay close, dodge the stomp, and kill the roots basically as he summons them (the ones near me) so I can continue putting out damage.

[wispy path]

that's what his pilars are for

[light moat]

The pillars are useful definitely, I just don’t think they’re necessary.

[kindred hare]

yea. thats what i sorta remember doing my first time. this time, i couldnt seem to get him to stomp so idk

[wispy path]

you have to be fairly close to have him stomp

[kindred hare]

was irght under him

[wispy path]

weird, out of the 100ish times i've fought him, never had a stomp issue

[kindred hare]

just killed him. its alll good

[lunar shard]

Anyone else had issues with going right at times? I randomly can't go right holding down the D key

Or any direction of that matter

Might honestly be my keyboard just dying or sum

[fossil oar]

are feasts worth making at all? looking at the wiki and it seems like the whole is less than the sum of the parts

[vocal rivet]

I'd say they're utterly game-changing when it comes to food, yes.

[fossil oar]

i mean, the swamp one requires 8 sausages and gives you less health than just eating the sausage

[vocal rivet]

For nearly twice as long.

And you can eat it 10 times.

[light moat]

For 8 sausages, you get like what- 7 to 8 hours of use? That’s pretty good 🙂

[fossil oar]

7 to 8 hours of wolf jerky equivalent

[light moat]

They’re not super powerful or anything, but they’re really useful for just doing some leisurely activities.

It lasts a decent amount longer than wolf jerky, which is noteworthy. Imo at least.

But yeah, wolf jerky is pretty cool too 👀

[wispy path]

they're ok, i use feasts for around the base, building etc, but for boss fights, the other foods seem to outperform it. by the time you get a certain feast, the next teir food is already significantly better

they make great decorations though, and i think they're a cool part of the game. they're also cheap to make

right now i'm playing hard mode, no map, no portal, so maybe feasts would be better if i didn't need every bit of HP/stam as possible

[vital umbra]

i diid totally use the ocean feast to fight bonemass

[wise night]

hey people hoy do you use wild maypoles? do you build your room or house just right next to them? range seems soo little im not sure how to integrate it to my house

[west pulsar]

Sausages are the GOAT

[west pulsar]

Put it next to your bed or whatever is the rest spot

[wise night]

yah i cant put it its a generated one, but i guess yeah i will need to build arround it somehow

[west pulsar]

19 comfort level is goated though

[west pulsar]

Yea i mean i know its "cheating" but if you want one THAT BAD just place one using commands or something

[vocal rivet]

Not even remotely what they're asking.

[vital umbra]

any reason i would randomly acquire the ceramic plate recipe

[wispy path]

anyone know if there's a client side mini-map mod that we could give a guy on our vanilla server, he rage quit and the rest of us are playing no map, but we don't want him to leave lol?

[plush umbra]

because you walked within the radius of an upgraded artisan table and the character has already "discovered" black marble prior to that?

recipes unlock once you've discovered all ingredients, crafting stations and their levels count as an ingredient, and discovering them is done by simply being within their radius

[vital umbra]

i can't put surtling cores on item stands either, worst game ever.

[unborn nexus]

Took me a bit to realize how to make the feasts

i simply didn't make every type of meal

and i didn't realize said feasts needed a meal for it

[plush umbra]

i imagine that problem's more common than ever now, i make barely any food in my playthroughs

[unborn nexus]

valheim players any where 🤝 barely making food

[gray sand]

I bought 3 serving trays because I thought you placed feasts on them, not with them 😭

[vital umbra]

not me, i have black metal chests, need to level the skill

[unborn nexus]

i'd see a man's yt essay on valheim
gameplay? exploring plains with meadows shroom, cooked boar, and honey

[plush umbra]

legit something i'd do before H&H

[gray sand]

This is why we weren't friends before H&H.

[plush umbra]

oh something i have done it seems

[vital umbra]

can i talk about building here or do i have to go over to nerdland

[plush umbra]

you can talk about it here, i'm about to go to bed though

[gray sand]

Always napping. 🙃

[rain flare]

Good night 😴

[plush umbra]

should be sleep but will be a nap ;v;
got an appointment in 4 hours

[west pulsar]

I got the fishing hat

[vital umbra]

hi sildar

[west pulsar]

I stockpiled on food but like now what i got nothing to do 😭

[languid vessel]

is the Deep north theoretically far enough along to be released on Christmas/new years?

[west pulsar]

Wtf are half a thousand sausages gonna

[west pulsar]

I REALLY doubt it

The ashlands felt rushed and that came out recently

[languid vessel]

fair enough, 7 months isnt really enough time to build the endgame of Valheim to a finished state, as well as tidy up all the loose ends from the last few years

[shy marlin]

Prolly not I wouldn’t hope for anything in 2025 but we’ll wait and see ig

[gray sand]

Convert to coal.

[vital umbra]

If the focus is 1.0 / the deep north that really just sounds like any small updates will come after the fact.

[languid vessel]

i would hope that 1.0 (finished release) would come with a mostly debugged game, apart from incredibly niche stuff in the deep north and any extra shit they decide to add

[west pulsar]

NO!

[languid vessel]

dont convert saussage to coal
use it as common foods in safe areas (anything below the mistlands)

[vital umbra]

i don't get why everyones doing this. do you really have anything better to do post fader than hoard what you already have including ashlands tier food 🧐

[languid vessel]

i havent killed Fader yet, and there should be enough graustine in the ashlands to turn the spawn continent into the masonry equivilent of Kirby: Planet Robot

[kindred hare]

can i do anything about old gear? or just chuck it. wouldnt mind recycling it but its not that big a deal

[vital umbra]

armor stand

[kindred hare]

i dont care about wasting iron i barely have to show off leather armor

[vital umbra]

why not

[kindred hare]

... because showing off low teir armor in a single player world, using resources i dont have is dumb?

[vital umbra]

🫤

lemme guess you're in the iron age?

[kindred hare]

working thru swamps rn

[vital umbra]

I am afraid you will have to cope, Not meaning that in a rude way but you're going to need maybe a thousand or two iron throughout your playthrough so mayaswell embrace the grind for it and do a bit of building along the way, Iron nails are super duper cheap in the grand scheme of things.

[kindred hare]

sure

[vital umbra]

iiis that you seeing where i am coming from or you not liking what you hear? i can never tell with people

[kindred hare]

i agree

[vital umbra]

if otherwise you can turn up the resource rate in world modifiers like i did

[kindred hare]

whats the benefit of the longship as a solo

[vital umbra]

big, cool, fast.

[kindred hare]

not any harder to pilot? usually those are meant to be crewed.

[vital umbra]

if this is your first time i don't recommend being too minimalistic, find things out, don't worry about it, you'll like it or not but its part of the adventure.

[vital umbra]

the game is solo first and foremost.

[light drift]

So if you keep building up, will your shit just collapse? I can't imagine what else vertical loss means

[warm sandal]

I would always prefere the longship over the karve ... and i am mostly playing solo... the bigger hold the less wiggle steering it is just nicer

[vital umbra]

i prefer to fish with the karve

[warm sandal]

yeah that is valid...but I usually reuse the bronze nails for item stands 😄 so i go with the longship anyways 😄 but the karve sure can fit in tighter spots than the longship can 😄

[wise night]

me and my friend spent almost an hour playing thinking we were mad at each other for some reason because no one answered chat (we didnt know you need to be close)

[unborn nexus]

stability basically

later in the game you can get more and more materials that boost it up with

[vital umbra]

/s before the message makes you shout, which can be heard across world.

[unborn nexus]

several biomes have gigantic structures that are unbreakable

making for ideal base locations/supports

[wise night]

oooooh! im kinda introvert and didnt wanted to be forced to voice to play, really thanks a lot

[vital umbra]

by heard i mean seen*, it appears in the chat the same way the message does when you join "I HAVE ARRIVED"

[light drift]

Just seems odd. Cuz I could build walls infinitely high no? So does using up vertical loss mean less horizontal stability. Like 3/7 high means only 4/7 wide?

[unborn nexus]

menu also has a toggle that lets other players see your current location

[wise night]

yes the lets others see we do found but i had no idea about the /s

[unborn nexus]

maps you need a dedicated carto table for

[gray sand]

Wait, Cartography Table isn't for placing your feasts on? 😛

[unborn nexus]

although players can quite literally screenshot their game maps and do it that way

[warm sandal]

you could use it for a fancy desk in a slolo world but i never thought of placeing feasts on it ... good one..need to remember 😄

[light drift]

Just seems odd. Cuz I could build walls infinitely high no? So does using up vertical loss mean less horizontal stability. Like 3/7 high means only 4/7 wide?

[unborn nexus]

some build pieces don't lose vertical stability

[warm sandal]

you can not build infinitly high walls

[vital umbra]

what on earth are you talking about

[warm sandal]

not with wood or stone you can

[unborn nexus]

you can use the stone giant pillars in the plains as a basis

[vital umbra]

what are you building with....everything loses stability at a certain point away from ground level, horizontal or vertical.

[light drift]

I don't understand what vertical loss is about. I get horizontal loss. You can go this far out with this material. Vertical was just weird. Like why use iron vertical posts when you can use say core wood. I've just never seen my posts buckle or anything.

Maybe I just haven't gone high enough?

[unborn nexus]

go higher

[vital umbra]

wut

[light drift]

O.

[unborn nexus]

the problem of a high building is ignoring the temptation of chucking yourself off it

and being a safety hazard while building on it

[vital umbra]

what are we talking about with this infinite height

6 of the 4 meter log poles is maximum from ground level up

the seventh breaks.

[light drift]

I assumed you could build infinitely high. I had never seen anything buckle in on itself so I was confused by vertical loss. But I have been informed I've never build high enough

[unborn nexus]

given there's a lot the game doesn't say

[vital umbra]

☝️

[light drift]

I now have been enlightened

[vital umbra]

so thats 24 meters with core wood

[unborn nexus]

swamp is where you get a lot more building toys

only gets better from there
wish the game had better light sources though

[gray sand]

You want less FPS?
Because that's how you get less FPS.

😭

[unborn nexus]

hip lantern mod my beloved

[gray sand]

Mods 🤢

[unborn nexus]

i like the circlet

but i feel most comfortable when i am equipped to take on a small army

[gray sand]

Circlet upgrade that lets you put a Wisp on it 👀

[unborn nexus]

mod addict sorry

never see a problem with mods

[light drift]

I have one mod and it's to plant crops perfectly spaced. I tried doing it myself and almost had a stroke

[unborn nexus]

Mmm hip lantern

dragon's dogma lantern, never change

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[unborn nexus]

i wasn't gonna say anything further

[light drift]

#building-tips message

I have question

[vital umbra]

depends on what mods

[upper grotto]

I just bought the game because I heard it's gonna get out of early access soon, so should I start it now or wait for full release? Does the save carry over? Will the mods still work?
Sorry I don't have experience with early access games.

[gray sand]

Should I start now?
Only you can answer questions regarding what you should and should not do.
Does the save carry over?
Yes.
Will the mods still work?
You haven't even played it yet and you're already planning to alter it??

[upper grotto]

If a game is moddable it's a certain that I will mod it.

[gray sand]

🚶‍♂️

[vital umbra]

for anyone in the past who has wondered, this is the problem i have with mods.

people can play how they want theres no question about that but it doesn't stop it from actually saddening me when the hand-crafted experience the devs provide, and in such an amazing manner, is not enough...

[hearty niche]

I'm a big believer in the idea that mod makers should use those talents to build their own games and experiences.

[vital umbra]

especially right off the bat....i mean at the very least i guess you still support the devs by getting the game but i mean....like...😦

[vital umbra]

1200 hours of vanilla later and i am still planning more playthroughs, and once i have done a few with 1.0s release, the deep north, everything, then i will probably go into modding, if the devs really do want to move on from the game....

at that point i feel less guilty of the idea

[vital umbra]

are you familiar with terrarias calamity mod

[leaden elbow]

Is it even possible for me to build my crossed roof without any misalignments if i have a combo of 26° and 45° roof tiles?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[leaden elbow]

Main one is 2x26 and 2x45, the side stuff is all 26. Id assume i gotta rebuild the side stuff to match

[vital umbra]

funny how 45 degree is an option, my father said that architecturally he thinks anything 45 degrees looks horrible.

outside of a video game context that is

[leaden elbow]

I think even steep roofing irl is like 40° at most

[vital umbra]

yeahh sounds about right

[leaden elbow]

Looking outside everyones got 26° tiles lol

[vital umbra]

wish there was an option between the two roof angles we have rn..

[leaden elbow]

Also anyone got a tip on roof edges? The 26° half piece clips through the roof and shows a bit of beam in the middle of the tile

[leaden elbow]

Id LOVE a combo 45/26 edge piece

Both ways.

[humble swallow]

I have returned.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[west pulsar]

I wish i could just angle it

Like just let me rotate pieces

[leaden elbow]

Get comfygizmo. Its good. Except for me i noticed a frame drop around builds with the mod enabled. Also misalignments and incorrect snapping to rotated pieces

[tiny tiger]

If it’s only the beam that’s sticking out delete beam and place from inside snapping to bottom of the roof piece

[leaden elbow]

Oh ill try that thanks

[west pulsar]

Im on xbone

[tiny tiger]

How is the controller layout for the game? I’ve been considering getting the game for console if they ever release for ps5

[west pulsar]

Ok so its actually not bad just slightly not intuitive

[tiny tiger]

Having a chill couch version would be perfect for building especially if they add a way to link pc to console account

What’s not intuitive and how do you think they could fix it

[leaden elbow]

where can i send a screenshot, your solution seems to well, not work

[west pulsar]

Ok so it's mostly the building but to be fair its my first game of the genre

[tiny tiger]

#building-screenshots

[west pulsar]

I'd also say the secondary use for buttons

[tiny tiger]

If that solution doesn’t work, I recommend having another beam to the side and snapping off of that

[west pulsar]

Like idk how it is on pc but on console you gotta block to dodge

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it’s the same on pc with the roll

[west pulsar]

Gotcha

[tiny tiger]

The devs see rolling as a secondary dodge function

the idea seems to be to prioritise parrying

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping is better than rolling when available too

So it should be your third option

[west pulsar]

I need to try that

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacking is very useful as it allows you to dodge while attacking and you can move horizontally a lot faster than on the ground

[tiny tiger]

dodge rolls work against slow really heavy attacks or really damaging ones like against bosses that you don’t know if you can parry or not

For moder I used a lot of dodge rolling but I could have probably been fine just blocking based on how much damage and stagger I was taking

[nocturne wolf]

Regular blocking works well for bosses, it costs less stamina and has almost no recovery time

[tiny tiger]

I honestly can’t wait to absolutely destroy yagluth

My plains base rn is taking in game decades to gather all the resources and plan it out, I know for a fact I don’t have enough tar for the roofs or stone for the walls

[west pulsar]

I kinda wanna show off my ugly base

[tiny tiger]

#building-screenshots or #screenshots

[cosmic igloo]

yea true tbh. they need to buff that

[tiny tiger]

Hailing 160 silver from moder fight back to base, life is good lol

[cosmic igloo]

aight got staff of embers on day 72

just thinking about it, idk what i could have done to be faster..

and i got lucky with mines

[tiny tiger]

There’s a certain irony in the frostner final upgrade weighing more than you can carry and all that weight just not mattering anymore when it’s crafted into the hammer

Now that I think about it I’d love a visual upgrade to weapons as they are upgraded

[fair cairn]

just shove the cart down the side of the mountain enar the boat

[tiny tiger]

I did and it was a pain and I hate it

[nocturne wolf]

Pushing a cart down is the best part. You jump in and see if you survive

[fair cairn]

really?
the real pain is walking down with it and mining through any rocks

[tiny tiger]

It got stuck on every rock, got broken by a wolf, a lox and a fuling and then the stupid swamp enemies bothered me the entire last leg to the boat

in future I will just ride a boat down

[west pulsar]

More than you can carry?

Oh you mean in equivalent silver

[vital umbra]

loafy do you sleep

[tiny tiger]

He sleeps in valheim

[idle storm]

Mines and cores are really the main thing. Tissue and extractors are easy enough to get even in a karve

[cosmic igloo]

it was tough to find yggdrassil veins to extract sap from

strange to say but ya

[idle storm]

I found half a dozen along the shore before even seeing my first mine 😅

[cosmic igloo]

yea i was looking for a vein nearby shore

found just 1x, but its enough i guess

also farming ooze was something that took a bit of time

need some better strategy for that

and im like always short on leather scraps

[idle storm]

Just got lucky then. Currently have bubble and embers at l2, probably gonna get frost too and tgen finally kill yag

Leather scraps is what boar farms are for

[cosmic igloo]

i never tamed animals before

guess i can try in this playthrough

[idle storm]

Now with animal whisper mead its much less annoying

For ooze your best bet is running through swamps at night or increasing raids and hoping for the foul smell one

[cosmic igloo]

something interesting to learn tho in this playthrough is that mistlands without wisp is very doable lol

[idle storm]

Lol yeah i was surprised too

[cosmic igloo]

gjalls are scary tho but i run from them anyway even when i have wisp

and kite to nearby dvergs

its crazy how much u can skip in this game

no crypt key, no wishbone, no wisplight, no drakkar

[idle storm]

I did kill everything up to moder because iron is actually a pain to get without the key when you dont abuse chair glitch.

But i have black forge and galdr table at l3 and feather cape + 2 staves already without yag so the rest is only a matter of time

Even found a vegvisir for the Queen in my third mine

[cosmic igloo]

same i found queen fast af. look how lucky location too #screenshots message

thats the first mistlands i went to and its right there

u can see even moder is nearby

[idle storm]

That is some bullshit luck. Mine is halfway around the world

[cosmic igloo]

xD

damn upgrading fire staff does so little.. +6 fire dmg..

[wispy path]

it's pretty strong as it is, easily overpowering mistlands stuff

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[rain flare]

Fun fact for you guys @idle storm @cosmic igloo , mistlands is actually safer without a wisp.

Harder to navigate, but if you can’t see enemy mobs, then they can’t see you.
The number of times I’ve bumped into a gjall or seekers and just ran away onto the mist is quite funny 😂

[wispy path]

i thought the wisp had attractive properties too for mobs

[rain flare]

Damn! Lucky! 🤩
I’m still looking for my queen 😂

[rain flare]

It’s shiny - mobs are attracted to light sources - normally to break them 😂

[wispy path]

those gjall can see through mountains when you have a wisp on 😄

[rain flare]

You only need to upgrade most items for the increased durability’s

That, or the item gets other perks from upgrades, like the summoner skull and blood shield stick
More skellies and longer lasting shields respectively

[cosmic igloo]

true

[gray sand]

"Lasts longer"
Still drops in 1 hit from a 2 star
😛

[idle storm]

The increase looks small on paper but it does make a noticable difference

Especially going from 3 to 4 in ashlands

[cosmic igloo]

ya prot bubble upgrades are necessary, its annoyinng to keep reapplying it

[scarlet hill]

cleared my first plains , i didnt drop any flax from the villages , that means i gotta find another plains biome right ?

[wispy path]

YOU don't last longer, the shield laying on your corpse does 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. Flax can only be obtained from these villages.

[wispy path]

chests and planted within the village, it can be easy to miss at night

[nocturne wolf]

You’d likely need to go to more villages for the fuling totems anyway

[scarlet hill]

oh yeah i dont mind, tho if i read correct one fully upgraded black metal gear is like 300+ scraps

[opal prairie]

It doesn't drop, you harvest it from small patches in the villages and can sometimes be found in chests.

[scarlet hill]

yeah i mean no spawn from the village

[unborn nexus]

unlucky

[scarlet hill]

went through 2 infact just double checking the first again just to be sure

[wispy path]

one piece, or everything? because 1 isn't that expensive

[unborn nexus]

trust me you're gonna need a ton of flax

[wispy path]

yep, the farming skill makes it faster to compound your flax rates, but it still takes a lot of time to farm all of your flax for everything coming up

[exotic bramble]

should i kill eikthyr?

i just killed a troll

[opal prairie]

Normally it happens the other way around, first kill eikthyr then the troll.
So yeah sure, go for it.

[exotic bramble]

oh lol alr

[opal prairie]

Troll is a black forest monster, eikthyr is the boss of the meadows.
You kill eikthyr to get the items to make a tool that you can use in the black forest.

[exotic bramble]

ooh that makes sense

shouldn't have built my base next to that forest

[tacit crystal]

Actually it is not that bad. Trolls are rare so they don't spawn that often. Plus you are closer to the next materials from black forest.

[weary egret]

Can i effectively parry a 0 star troll with a wodden shield and food from the meadows?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[tiny tiger]

Can the sealed tower be repurposed as a base post clearance?

[light moat]

Ehhh probably not the way you’re thinking. You can’t build inside of it, but I think you can build on top of it.

[rain flare]

Skill issue 🥰

Literally 😂

[idle storm]

Not on top either, but off the side

[light moat]

Ahhh gotcha, thanks for the correction!

[tiny tiger]

Aw that’s a shame it would make a sick spot and I have one pretty close to where I’m making my plains base

At least it makes for a nice view

Is maxed out plains gear enough to take it on or would you guys recommend mistlands shit?

[agile peak]

Hey guys, I'm on day 128, and just tackling mountains (I'm slow, I know) I still haven't found Haldor, can he be anywhere?

[smoky obsidian]

Try to explore by circle around the spawn

and increase the radius day by day

[leaden elbow]

On day 128 i was on mid swamp lol

Day 360 currently, mid plains.

Spent the last 6 hours building haha

[agile peak]

yea, I found a small island very close to plains and swamp and I turned that into my home, I also found a nice meadows area with a maypole, but I really hate those dang troll attacks

[agile peak]

thanks, I'll give that a go

[leaden elbow]

Anyone know why steam isnt responding while ingame? The overlay and screenshots just dont do anything in valheim, no matter the settings.

[idle storm]

You can take it on with a stagbreaker. If you're patient, iron sledge works better though.
If you want to do it the "legit" way plains gear is enough.

[cobalt flume]

well i started valheim and idk wtf to do lol

[nocturne wolf]

Hugin should be explaining things to you. Is there anything specific you want to know?

[cobalt flume]

i can't find him no more idk where is he

[nocturne wolf]

If he’s not spawning that means he has nothing to say right now. Go explore, hunt and craft some things

[ivory wasp]

he pops up as you run around and do things

i jsut started recently as well.. i started with jusst punching trees and making starter weapons/tools

[cobalt flume]

okay

[cobalt flume]

well do you know what should i do after crafting things?

[nocturne wolf]

When you have full armor, a level 3 shield and flint weapon, fight the first boss.
He isn’t particularly strong but you want to be well prepared for what’s ahead

[ivory wasp]

kkill animals for food.. makke a simple shelter for rested bonus/sleeping. and start making weapon/armor for the first boss

[nocturne wolf]

You should also be searching for bee nests

[kindred hare]

is there a setting/mod that can let me keep my food buffs even if i die.

[nocturne wolf]

There’s no setting, but you could ask in #mods-discussion
Or keep a chest of food to use if you die

[kindred hare]

hard to keep that much of a surplus. its getting annoying

[wheat stirrup]

can someone tell me when is christmas tree is going to dissapear from the game ?

[warm sandal]

it will likely disappear come january from the build menu but if you build one then the one in your base will stay forever (or until destroyed)

[wheat stirrup]

oh okay thank you

[trail pelican]

its kinda funny how the game literally incentivizes never taking down your Christmas tree

[flat vector]

My buddy and I were exploring and came across a troll and a lox duking it out. It was like a pokemon battle so we just sat and watched

[warm sandal]

I do that still watching them foes from different biomes fighting it out. I even build explicitly in places where biomes meet for some entertainment 😄

troll vx abomination is cool to watch too 😄

[flat vector]

We watched that one too not so long after.
Our playthrough so far has been most eventful

[cobalt flume]

Where is the first boss?

[nocturne wolf]

At spawn there's a small red glowing stone that marks him on the map

[wheat stirrup]

imagine

i died to troll with 2 stars

first time when i met troll with 2 starts i parred him without a problem with silver nbot even maxxed out shield but when i met him for the second time i had the same shield but maxxed out and i didnt parry him

[cosmic igloo]

jesus grausten is sooooo free. can build massive cathedrals like its nothing

[flat vector]

Rough man.
I rarely try to parry trolls, let alone 1 star ones. I just find it easier to dodge them, maybe get some copper out of it. Abominations though for me are easier and generally just more beneficial to parry.

[wanton rover]

building in this game, shall give me an aneurysm

[foggy glacier]

Funny, I never bother to parry abominations. just sidestep left about 1m and you're out of their hitbox, then keep swinging your axe.

[flat vector]

Right, it's attacks aren't hard to maneuver around. I rephrase, they aren't easy to parry but it's a good payout. I parry it's right hand sweep attack just cause it's harder to maneuver properly, due to it's wide swing.

For anyone who might know, are Draugrs weaker to blunt or slash damage? I was always under the impression they were weak to blunt, but slash has been clearing them alot better.

[livid zenith]

They are weak to neither, yellow damage numbers indicate the enemy is weak to that damage type, white means neutral, and gray means resistance

[flat vector]

No, they'll still show as white. Yellow numbers are weak points however

[livid zenith]

That is incorrect

[flat vector]

The wiki say otherwise

For example, shooting a troll in the head with an arrow will give you a yellow damage number. Or the seekers, hitting the open spot on their back will do the same

[tame elm]

I remember when i first played this game with my friends, i was kinda like the forge guy, working in our cellar under the house,
I remember looking up at the Yggdrasil when we were sailing once, we all had no idea what was in the game and i said:
''Ill build my forge on that tree one day, the greatest smith in all of valheim'', i hope i can make that dream come true one day,
Even though those friends are no longer with me ☺️

[livid zenith]

Shooting a troll anywhere with an arrow will give yellow numbers because trolls are weak to pierce, shooting a troll in the head with an arrow will deal 2x damage instead of 1.5x damage

Same with seeker soldiers, the butt is weak to pierce, blunt, and slash

Weak points have different weaknesses and resistances to the rest of the enemy, but don’t automatically take more damage from everything

[flat vector]

Ahhh I see. Seekers probably weren't a good example then, since they're backside is weak to all physicals

I must just be straight imagining doing more damage then. At least more consistent damage.

[livid zenith]

You might have a higher swords skill than clubs skill, making swords deal more damage

[tiny tiger]

Trolls are weak to whatever damage type the atgeir is

pierce

[flat vector]

I did just make the sword, if I had to say off hand it'd be about lvl 5 - 10, vs my blunt 20 someth. So far just made an iron sword to help farm abominations

[tiny tiger]

How are you finding the swamps so far

The next biome is really fun

[flat vector]

Swamps are great. Good challenge, one of the hardest bioms id say.
Its a new char, I've only been up to mistlands

[livid zenith]

A more situational thing that may be the reason: swords don’t have multi-target penalty, but clubs do. So if you’re in a tight space and hitting walls then clubs will deal reduced damage but swords won’t

[flat vector]

That would explain it.
Never noticed that either, good eye.

[vital umbra]

jotun bane isn't as bad as i remember at tree chopping

[foggy glacier]

each subsequent axe is better at tree chopping than the previous.

[merry pebble]

It is an upgrade from BM axe after all (at least for chopping trees, for dmg in general its debatable)

[vital umbra]

i remember it being remarkably worse compared to the blackmetal axe for trees

because more damage being poison

[merry pebble]

I dont see why would it, it has 10 more chop dmg

the other dmg types make no difference

[vital umbra]

hm.

how intuitive that appears to be listed nowhere in-game.

i am 1000% not focused on the weapon aspects of this mid axe

[merry pebble]

Indeed it isnt, because it makes sense the higher tier axe will be better tool than the lower tier one

[vital umbra]

If you say so

[vocal rivet]

It really does.

[true sable]

Is there ever going to be a Ragnarok event?

[merry pebble]

Probably not

[true sable]

Dang

[vocal rivet]

It would make no sense to the story of Valheim.

[flat vector]

Maybe i just suck at it, but i really hope there's some improvements to fishing. Idk if I'm missing something, but in the near 700 hours I've played, I've rarely touched fishing. Any tips?

[vocal rivet]

No, I hate it as well.

[flat vector]

Haha, it's not terrible just janky.

[merry pebble]

I also dont like it much, but having all stam foods and mead at hand helps a lot 🙂

[true sable]

Is it too much to ask for a flying ability somewhere near the end game material?

[vocal rivet]

We kinda do.

[merry pebble]

Pretty much yeah since devs said no to flying afaik (tho there are ways to basically fly)

[flat vector]

Its very cool to imagine, at the very least

[true sable]

Like a hot air balloon or anything..

[merry pebble]

Nope

[flat vector]

In my head, id imagine you'd tame a drake or something, maybe have it carry you via rope like the small wyverns in monster hunter

[true sable]

Or atleast a staff that will teleport you to any of your portals you desire?

I spend a lot of time just traveling on foot, it’s very time consuming

[merry pebble]

You usually should have a pocket portal with you that acts the same way basically

[flat vector]

I've got a disconnected portal in my base for that reason. The inventory space is rough, but connecting back quickly before a death or to recharge is mighty helpful

[true sable]

It would be nice to have a wyvern Mount drop from the final boss.

[vocal rivet]

Would it? The game is over then, you'd have no time to use it.

[true sable]

I’d keep playing

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[flat vector]

My friend and I chatted about that.
A magic mirror type reward, acting similar to terraria's, would be an awesome reward for beating the game. But that's just me

[half dragon]

Slaying the bosses has never been the point of the game, has it? More of a just a thing to check off the list and move on so you can just keep doing whatever you want to do

[true sable]

I never stopped playing after all the other bosses. It’s sort of like Minecraft on steroids for me

[vocal rivet]

That's the ONLY point of the game, yes.

[merry pebble]

Well it is the main point of the game 😉

[half dragon]

or at least it's supposed to be, kind of like there is a main story in skyrim but who gives a shit? Completed it only once and played the game on 10+ different characters for hundreds of hours

[vocal rivet]

MOST people would care about the main story.

[half dragon]

all the side stories and DLC stories are far better...

[vocal rivet]

Just because some people enjoy pissing about buiding laggy monstrosities doesn't mean it's the aim of the game.

[true sable]

I enjoy the vibe of just sailing around building in new places, and trying to build new things. My wife and I sail around, fish, and explore together.

[half dragon]

if slaying the boss is all you care about how about just spawn it and type kill all in console?

[vocal rivet]

.... 😕

[flat vector]

Cause why do that when it's more rewarding to work for the battle itself

[vocal rivet]

You don't understand games, do you?

[half dragon]

you do not

[vocal rivet]

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.

[cosmic summit]

I've been plains tier for a year. I play off and on, but when I'm active all I do is improve my bases

[half dragon]

Good, I don't think you laugh very often

[vocal rivet]

Then you really don't know me.

[flat vector]

From an actual standpoint i guess I can see what they mean. It takes a while to beat a boss, and you really could just live in a handful of biomes without caring much else about the game. I guess i wonder what's the proper speed at which you should progress through a set of biome. At the end of the day its up to you, it's an open world survival game ykno. At the very least, until your comfortable to move on.

[true sable]

I started a new game with friends. There’s six of us and we lan party valheim every other Saturday. We love the game and if it wasn’t for the materials needed from the bosses, none of them would care about beating the bosses. 😂

[cosmic summit]

Gotta farm the first boss for that sweet looking trophy

[nocturne wolf]

Because that completely skips the fun part - actually fighting the boss

[half dragon]

4 friends and me started a coop world together. 1 of them was a bit unlucky, got salty and quit first day. 1 of them speedran to the last biome and finished the game in less than 10, me and the other 2 friends are still playing taking our time... can you guesss which ones of us 5 are enjoying the game most?

[flat vector]

Ok that's cap

[vocal rivet]

At no point have I said you couldn't play the game any one of a million ways. Of course you play the way you enjoy.

[half dragon]

And the way people play isn't always the way they would enjoy the most.

[vocal rivet]

Absolutely.

[flat vector]

I agree, your first experience could sour the rest of the game

[true sable]

Ok ok, hear me out.. a staff that launch’s you high into the air..

[flat vector]

Mods

[merry pebble]

Have you been in ashlands yet?

[half dragon]

so, a staff that summons a skyrim giant? 🤔

great heights guaranteed

[merry pebble]

Have YOU been in ashlands yet?

[half dragon]

if the bonk doesn't take you to the moon it's not working properly

[true sable]

I’m there now, trying to get to the boss with dying from every creature on the land within 10 miles when I step on a twig. 😂

[merry pebble]

So you did find the thing "that launch’s you high into the air"?

[true sable]

I don’t think so? I also just found a stone today with the wife that leads to something “mysterious “

[round hatch]

So I have a question I understand that the dungeons are found in the black forest but where are they mostly found at in the dungeons. Cause I have looked in the black forest for so long and cannot find a dungeon

[merry pebble]

Well once you have been in fortresses and you have cleared them out completly you will see what i am talking about 🙂

[true sable]

Ooooh, ok yea, I have one

[flat vector]

Sometimes they're very hidden, and sometimes when you're looking for something, the spawn rates magically drop.

[merry pebble]

Look for places with 3 skeletons and crows around them

[flat vector]

They've also got different formations. You can tell from a blueish smoke around them, and skeletons

[round hatch]

ohhh okay thank you

[true sable]

I completely forgot about those. But with a staff I could keep using it and glide back down to help cover ground a little faster.

[merry pebble]

And also absurdly op 🙂 (tho i agree it would be fun, but for stuff like that you have mods 😉 )

[true sable]

I guess I’ll have to wait until we beat it to explore the mods.

[flat vector]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could you theoretically clear like half the map with that thing

Or well just make it that far

[true sable]

I don’t know, I never used it. I just built my way into the fortresses

[merry pebble]

Maybe not quite the half, but i didnt try to max the distance myself, you would need to go to the highest mountain for that

[round hatch]

what keybind is to split items again?

[merry pebble]

shift+click

[round hatch]

thx+

also is there any like transportation that I can get. Like a horse or some way other the walking cause I am tired of tired so far away from my base and having to run ALL the way back like miles away

[nocturne wolf]

In the second biome you unlock portals and a faster boat

[round hatch]

im talking about on land

[nocturne wolf]

You can ride creatures from the fifth and seventh biomes

[round hatch]

how do you see what number the biome is?

[nocturne wolf]

Meadows > Black Forest > Swamps > Mountains > Plains > Mistlands > Ashlands

[round hatch]

is that in order

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[round hatch]

can you take the creatures back to your base

the ridable ones?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[round hatch]

how do you tame said creatures

[nocturne wolf]

You can tell if a creature is tameable by getting close and aiming at it. You will see ‘wild’ show next to their name.
Trap them somewhere with a food they like to eat and they’ll tame eventually.

[round hatch]

do you need to craft a saddle of some sort or can you just ride them after they tame

[ripe grove]

there's also some gear sets that slightly improve move speed (or don't make you slower) before you get to rideable tames too

[nocturne wolf]

Rideable creatures need saddles

If you find the bog witch you can craft Tonic of Ratatosk for increased movespeed

[final bloom]

Does Askvin Eggs hatch in open sky? It's near a bonfire

[foggy glacier]

yes, they just need to be near fire. Does the egg say it's warm?

and are they separated?

[keen cliff]

huh. i always covered my asksvin eggs when i hatched. i usually put them in a 4x4 box

and then giggle when 40 asksvins pop out of the box later

[noble stream]

anyone need a +1?

[final bloom]

Yep:
#screenshots message

[foggy glacier]

for some reason I think it's 30 minutes.

[final bloom]

Just borned! I have a 1* egg too. It says [2], right?

[foggy glacier]

then 50 to mature.

[foggy glacier]

that's right.

[merry pebble]

Yep, one star = lvl2 creature 🙂

[final bloom]

I lost it

[foggy glacier]

oh no!

they like to run away.

[final bloom]

I really thought it would be just roaming around

Found it! It's actually neaby

[rotund bay]

imagine, a 3 ⭐ gjall

[unborn nexus]

use creature level and loot control

[vocal rivet]

Or just use vanilla and spawn it in.

No need for mods.

[gaunt robin]

hi guys i have not played valheim for years, i wanted to share my world to friends. but im confused what to copy bec it has 2 folder now, worlds and worlds_local. can someone help me?,

[final bloom]

Open the game and make sure you have the world locally. If it's local it'll appear in "worlds_local"

[unborn nexus]

ignore that guy use mods

[vocal rivet]

Use mods for something you can easily and more efficiently and safely do in vanilla, make it make sense.

[unborn nexus]

Nah

[vocal rivet]

I mean, if you really want to talk mods, we have #mods-discussion

[ionic compass]

where can i find seed list?

[vocal rivet]

#1202740443352137838 has some.

[ionic compass]

thank uuuu

[long locust]

you don't know the true meaning of berserkir until Zil & Thungr manage to spawn on your island and attack one of your loxes

ripped those bastards to shreds real fast

[crude sparrow]

can you get a pickaxe without killing Eikthyr?

[pliant hatch]

Yes, but it will be quite trouble some as it will require "Troll Mining".

[vocal rivet]

More effort than actually just doing the tutorial boss would be.

[crude sparrow]

So basically we don't need to kill any boss

[pliant hatch]

You will have to kill Moder, no matter what, as she drops an item that's required for future upgrades.

[wispy path]

it's really easy to get a troll to smash copper/tin

[crude sparrow]

What if I make some Draugrs kill it?

[pliant hatch]

The other bosses can be skipped, but you will lack a useful power and some other key items to get the materials needed to process

[crude sparrow]

Ok I will kill them...
Can we enter swamp's crypts using glitches?

[pliant hatch]

Bosses can't be killed by other creatures from other biomes.
They're the only monsters which can only be killed by the "player faction".

[crude sparrow]

I see

[unborn nexus]

boss are friendly to all creature

[long locust]

technically, you don't, you can reach every biome without killing any bosses, but it's rough and defeats the entire point of the game

[pallid vault]

Yo we should start a valheim world🤗

[unborn nexus]

using a chair can get you in a crypt

but you need a key for the legit method

good thing it's unbreakable

[crude sparrow]

Im trying to imagine a peaceful run

But we have to kill the goblins to drop black metal

[unborn nexus]

you can use growths for that
