[plush umbra]

i only ever make the razor

[crude sparrow]

when do I need to upgrade my armor?

[shy marlin]

as soon as you can if you want to be the most prepared

[plush umbra]

or as soon as enemies start to become a problem if you don't wanna spend too many resources

[warm sandal]

oh i was having so much fun just now playing with the son in our hard mode game... we died to some stupidness last time we played (managed to recover all alright no prob) then I said i do not want any part of that swamp Island we died on, and forced him to a different swamp a little way of (i was so pissed about that death)... and today we went in there and did discover the bog witch lived there 😄 and so he could see all the new stuff she has and we had so much fun lugging home the first 100 Iron and working on our base... happy-sigh

I would be more happy even if i had better than 2 2 3 troll armor with leather cape... but trolls have been somewhat rare foes to find ... uh ... maybe make him use the love potion ? could get us the troll armor updated 😄

[merry pebble]

That is an incredibly fun (tho maybe not good per se) idea 😄

[warm sandal]

well after killing elder and having some armor i am not afraid to take one or two trolls together with another player... so it is not really super dangerous.... and they caould farm some wood for us in the process 😄 and shed their hide too 😄

[merry pebble]

Well they will be most likely 1 star if you drink it before going to the forest 😄 (granted they were not spawned there before when you were there)

[atomic hare]

is it normal for there to be stone golems during the Moder fight ?

[sharp bluff]

kinda? moder doesnt restrict their spawns

some leveled wolves also tend to join in every now and then

[merry pebble]

Ïf you fight at night that is 🙂 (the wolves)

[sharp bluff]

that fight tends to last a day depending on AI

[merry pebble]

Hmm, didnt have one that lasted that long yet 🤔 and i fought her a fair few times

[atomic hare]

well I had one before I activated the fight, then 2 during the fight

[sharp bluff]

unfortunate spawns

[merry pebble]

Seems like there is an area that has favourable conditions for their spawn

[gray sand]

It is normal for anything to spawn during boss fights if you didn't spawn proof beforehand.

[atomic hare]

i didnt more winged it lol

[sharp bluff]

it just so happens that the mountain spawns are particularly brutal

[merry pebble]

Tbh mountain boss fight is the one i get most random spawns for some reason

[sharp bluff]

cuz its the longest fight

bonemass also has its own adds to annoy you with

[vital umbra]

the longest fight?

that'd be the queen and then fader i feel

i found the queen to take the longest i clarify*

[merry pebble]

Eh, Bonemass is longer for me usually, Yag is at the very least similar lenght as Moder but i dont really get any spawns with him

[pliant hatch]

For me the fight against the Queen and Yagluth are taking longer as the one against Bonemass and Moder. I haven't done Fader yet, so won't be able to judge that

[nocturne wolf]

Fader will likely take you longer than those two (Bonemass and Moder)

[sharp bluff]

i tend to skill check bonemass with an upgraded mace so ye...

[merry pebble]

And yeah, queen is 100% longer than Moder but there are kinda guarnateed seekers so i dont cout that

[merry pebble]

I just take my time with him and lvl up skills a bit 😄

[sharp bluff]

its just my inner dark souls junkie craving the melee xd

[west pulsar]

Hot take the queen is one of the coolest boss fights in the game

[merry pebble]

Sure 🙂 but still somewhat long nontheless

[nocturne wolf]

If her teleport timer was increased a little it could be a bit better. One minute is too fast with everything you have to fight to reach her

[west pulsar]

Nah i like that about it

I like the idea of a hive queen trying to preserve Itself

[nocturne wolf]

Did you use magic?

[vital umbra]

god i hate the queen

[nocturne wolf]

She's the only boss who's killed me so I do too

[vital umbra]

never died to her i just hate the boss

[west pulsar]

At that time not really i was always a bow main

[nocturne wolf]

The second time I fought her I was using magic for the first time and focused too much on spawning and shielding skeletons so I didn't have enough eitr to defend myself

[west pulsar]

I mostly used the staff of protection and the dead raiser

As in you spawn skeletons wait shield them wait until you got fill eitr and run it

[wintry valve]

Is there something I can do to make my autosave faster?

[west pulsar]

Manually save

[wintry valve]

Is there something I can do to make my save faster?

Or rather, what makes my saving process take so much time? It took 13 seconds at some point today

[nocturne wolf]

As the world's file size increases it just takes longer to write everything. How big is it right now?

[wintry valve]

I dont know where to find it. Hold on

[west pulsar]

Well no because it takes time

[west pulsar]

Why shes got the coolest concept for all the bosses

[wintry valve]

Its just gettign annoying, it used to take 4 seconds and somehow it jumped to 9

[west pulsar]

I think you dont like her because it requires you to position well instead of dodge smack simulator which is entirely what the fader is. Preference i suppose

[west pulsar]

Mine takes like 12

I dont mind i understand the game needs to think

[vital umbra]

the lamest concept*

[pliant hatch]

Keep in mind that the more changes you make to the world, the longer it takes to save it.
So if you have done a lot of terraforming for that huge base with those nice 4 story houses with lots of torches and other lights, as well as multiple fires it will last longer as when you use a small island with a wooden hut as a base.

[vital umbra]

elder and bonemass are close to the bottom for me so i will keep them out of it but the queen to me is like....you have a fucking lightning deer, a frost dragon, (aanother yagluth glaze ahead)....a fucking half of an undead sorcerer king that breaths lasers and throws meteors at you....and then a big bug.....

The boss is fine i don't mind the fight

I literally find the concept and placement so uninteresting she is my least favorite boss ☕

she is in between two ultra bad-asses that makes her compared to them look like a weird joke, like she should be before moder and after bonemass or something.

[west pulsar]

How is it the lamest? The entire idea of releasing a sealed hive queen and going into a foggy boss dungeon was cool as shit

[cedar sparrow]

The Queen is my favourite boss. Moder is my least favourite

[west pulsar]

Queen aint my fav fav but its top 3

[vital umbra]

its a bug, compare it to two epic wondrously magical bosses that she is fought between

[cedar sparrow]

But a bug fits in with the rest of the Mistlands

[nocturne wolf]

But the door!

[vital umbra]

yeah and thats a complaint on the mistlands in general for me but i'm trying to like the biome still.

[shy marlin]

idk Queen is one of the most epic encounters of valheim

[vital umbra]

the door is cool sure

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers are some of my favourite enemies

[vital umbra]

i hate em so much

ashlands >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[cedar sparrow]

We're all going to have preferences. I'm not all that keen on the biome itself, but I love the infested mines

[idle storm]

seekers die too fast

upgraded frostner pretty much twoshots them

[west pulsar]

Yea and thats fine you're too hyper focused on the bug part and dont appreciate the thematics and ignore the fact that her being a bug is what makes her cool

[vital umbra]

the knockback the seekers have sucks all enjoyment out of my soul

[cedar sparrow]

🤣

[west pulsar]

SEE IM NOT ALONE ON THIS

[cedar sparrow]

That does suck

[nocturne wolf]

Two of their attacks have 150 but the rest are all 40 or less

[idle storm]

i'm pretty much the opposite. Mines are kinda meh, but i love just running around the Mistlands and exploring.

[vital umbra]

ticks are just annoying, seeker soldiers are all bark and no bite literally almost, i fucking hate the game encouraging you to kill dvergr, the BEST part of mistlands mobs for me is the gjall.

Something truly unique something truly awesome

[shy marlin]

mistlands is just one mystical and magical experience i don't get the hate

[vital umbra]

Whenever i see seekers i see some overblown cockroach and i don't think its cool or mystical or magical

i think gjalls are magical

[cedar sparrow]

The gjall is a uniquely creepy enemy, and I hate them 🤣

[vital umbra]

if there were more weird mobs like the gjall i would love the biome, i already love it but i hate the thematics of the mobs and boss

[teal matrix]

I despise seekers, but i do like the design of the boss. Kinda reminds me of the sliver queen from MTG

[vital umbra]

The mist is magical the gjall are magical the dvergr outposts and mages are magical, the door to the queen is magical, the rocky spires are magical, the jotun remains are magical..........the seekers and the queen are just there and add nothing for me.

[nocturne wolf]

If you want to fight some magic enemies, stop cheesing the dvergr

[vital umbra]

would rather cheat the game or uninstall

[shy marlin]

[vital umbra]

spawn dvergrextractor 5

[cedar sparrow]

Ooof! The dvergr keep getting in my way, so I've been their victim too often. The mages hit hard!

[vital umbra]

i only fight them when my dumb ass friend randomly punches one and aggroes an entire tower

(or when i break my own cart within their ward apparently....)

[nocturne wolf]

Somehow the ward is more intelligent than the dvergr?

[vital umbra]

idk what that sentence means

[nocturne wolf]

The ward knows you were cheesing with that cart, while the dvergr were just watching cluelessly earlier

[vital umbra]

😒

[west pulsar]

Obi just hates bugs i think i loved the big bug vibe and the yggdrasil vibe the mountains take alot from me because the biome is annoying to physically move through but the boss and the enemies are some my favorite

[vital umbra]

i love bugs but seekers are so super nothingburger they literally look like cockroaches and cockroaches are laaame

[idle storm]

If there's dvergr mages in a tower you don't need cheese, just kite over some enemies and the mages will destroy the ward (and rest of the tower) themselves 😂

they're kind of careless about collateral damage

[west pulsar]

I've done fader 3 times now and i honestly think its like 4-5 favorite for me i love the bell concept and i love the lore the boss itself is just yagluth light to me and its kinda spongy

[atomic hare]

remeber when it used to be full of webs and we all thought it was gonna be big spiders

[west pulsar]

Who's we

[nocturne wolf]

Pre-mistlands players?

[west pulsar]

Nah i fw it

[atomic hare]

yea

[tiny tiger]

Big spiders would have been such a vibe honestly

[west pulsar]

True

A spider boss would go hard

[idle storm]

No thanks, i had more than enough spiders from Grounded

[vital umbra]

i liked past mistlands

but atleast the one we have now is super pretty

[shy marlin]

mora the spider from ori is a perfect example of a good spider boss

[atomic hare]

yea it was good as there was no mobs lol

[wide zenith]

Torches still block spawns?

[cedar sparrow]

Yup

[wide zenith]

ty

[bright crag]

anyone who can help me with a problem in #building-tips ?

[twin wigeon]

So, I'm very new to the game and I think I've made a pretty big mistake in summoning the first big-bad (the electric stag guy) and I'm stuck in a loop of getting killed every few minutes.. Do I need to start again?

[atomic hare]

no not at all

[nocturne wolf]

Use block and jump (Or block and B on controller) to roll. This allows you to avoid damage from almost all attacks in the game.

[twin wigeon]

Even against his lightning attacks? My weapons are only level 2.

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. Very few attacks can still damage you while rolling, none this early in the game

[west pulsar]

Yes you can dodge all of his attacks i recommend you get a bow and shoot him

[nocturne wolf]

If you get a shield you can very easily block his attacks for melee combat

[bright crag]

is there any way to make torches etc to not need refueling

[nocturne wolf]

There's a command you can use to instantly refuel nearby light sources, or you can use some infinite lights such as wisp torches

[sick lantern]

I recently got Valheim and been loving it, I was able to get some of my friends to also get it and they feel the same about the game as me. However there is one big issue, when I am not hosting our server no one else can play, so there are many instances when my friends want to play and progress in the game, but I just cannot get on. And I don't want to leave my PC on all the time, so I am wondering if there is any way to make my server open to my friends all the time, regardless of if I am hosting it or not?

[bright crag]

whats the commands name?

[bright crag]

if you buy a server i guess?

[sick lantern]

is there any free way to do it?

[bright crag]

i dont think so but i think they were like 10€ for a month maybe? and if you get your friends to also chip in you can split the servers cost

[sick lantern]

oh ok thanks

[kindred hare]

will tamed boars follow me after i tame them. cant decide if i should bait them into my base, or build a temporary pen closer to them if i find far ones

[bright crag]

they wont follow you

[idle storm]

they won't, so baiting them first is the way to go

[kindred hare]

ok cool.

[hearty niche]

Yeah there are a ton of options for dedicated servers. I've seen them as much as $20 a month but if all the players split the cost it's very affordable imo

[twilit stump]

Hello fellow Vikings. I am curious if there is interest in a real role-play setting like Valheim. Not just run from one boss to the next.
I am not talking about WoW or D4. That is not role play !
Rather think about a character, a story and play it out in a community with like minded. Not 13 year old boys rushing to the Ashlands.
If we stay 3 month in the meadows, so be it. I think who has read so far is interested in more.
I played p&p in D&D setting for about the last 15 years and the Valheim setting is surely a new experience with a great pantheon and a brutal life style. So if there is some existing server or people that enjoy to be someone else for some hours let me know

[teal matrix]

Best bet would prolly be #1024264966712340510

[twilit stump]

ty

[reef pawn]

is it possible for a save from a while ago to not be compatible now? (save from jan 2023)
people were saying that the map will gen new areas based on new content, but we've gone decently far and havent found any swamp, worried our world is broken

i know swamp isnt new necessarily but just worried the passage of time with new updates may have messed something up

[pliant hatch]

It's possible, yes.
The change of Ashlands and the addition of the Bog Witch may have changed lots.

One thing you can do is check the map seed at https://valheim-map.world/
But instead of putting in the code of the seed, upload the .db and .fwl of your map name using the blue button with the lying bracket and upwards arrow on it. It will tell you where to find those files.

With that, the generator will create a map from your files, which will give you an indication of what to find where.

If you only want the biomes, I advise you to turn off all the other search options.

[reef pawn]

yeah looks like we've verry successfully avoided every instance of swamp lmao

like by a hundred meters or so in multiple places

[plush umbra]

never heard of the biome generation failing in any way in all my time here yea 😅

[reef pawn]

yeah i wasnt 100% on it being broken, just know sometimes using the same world between updates can break stuff in similar games

[pallid vault]

Did u hit start server?

And invite them?

[sick lantern]

yes, they are able to join but I am trying to make it so they can access my server even when I am not online and hosting it

[reef pawn]

hmm, trying to rollback a save and ingame it said "last save 8m ago" but when i go to the menu the last one was 2 hours ago

and before that its 3 Days

does it not stack up autosaves every 30min?

[late tinsel]

might buy valheim, I would 100% if my stupid friends didn't say this game sucks
I literally put like over 100 hours in it when it was on gamepass

[vocal rivet]

I mean, it's a single player game, it doesn't really matter what your friends think.

[tiny tiger]

^^^ my friends aren’t too keen on it either but I have more than enough fun on solo and the occasional co op

[copper quest]

is there a two person bed yet?

[vocal rivet]

Alas, no.

[glass parrot]

How do I get the farming set from hildir?

[tiny tiger]

Brass chest from smouldering tombs

[glass parrot]

Alright thanks, how do I answer her request though I forgot

[vital umbra]

with money 🧡

[tiny tiger]

Use the map right in front of her

[glass parrot]

Oh okay

[wintry valve]

do tamed wolves follow in portals?

[random kayak]

Is there a way to deconstruct items?

[teal matrix]

No

[teal matrix]

No

[west pulsar]

I need someone who's smart

[vital umbra]

i have many positive traits

[random kayak]

You came to the wrong place

Actually no nvm there are ALOT of smart people here except me

[vital umbra]

mememe

[random kayak]

They can probably answer your questions via #valheim-help

[west pulsar]

No no no

Its actually a simple question. What do i do with seeker meat now that its useless

[vital umbra]

obliterator is pretty good

[west pulsar]

I DONT NEED MORE COAL

[random kayak]

You're never not in need of coal one way or another

[west pulsar]

I am not in need of coal

[random kayak]

Heresy

[west pulsar]

Like carapace sureee I'll make arrows but the meat bruh is taking up chests. How so?

Ykw I'll do?

I'll just cook it for when im idling and building

Doesnt it cooked give like 60hp? Good for chilling

[vital umbra]

just make 500 svinstew

[west pulsar]

Well yea I've been making Ashlands foods

The piquant pie is better though

[vital umbra]

then make 500 pecan pie

[west pulsar]

Must i show you my food chests

[vital umbra]

yes

[west pulsar]

Ok one second

[vivid turret]

My homie chopped up 2 blackmetal chests worth of wood and made a whole iron chest worth of coal.

[fair cairn]

itsa 1 to 1 ratio for coal though? or am i thinking of of things?

[teal matrix]

If you burn it yes, obliterator no

[queen rampart]

If i just sit afk in the ocen will a serpent spawn or do i need to be miving

[vital umbra]

what

[random kayak]

I just realized that the beard they have on our vikings are stuck to the chin so any mustache that hangs above the lips doesn't actually snap to it

If you sit on the throne and have the stone dwellers beard, when your Viking yawns his bearded lip gets left behind 😭

[teal matrix]

Got a bot in here sharing some nonsense. 😂

[west pulsar]

Yea no pfp attention seek ah

[west pulsar]

NOOOO I'LL NEVER UNSEE THIS

[teal matrix]

3 day old, discord lookin ahh

[west pulsar]

Normalize not sharing

[teal matrix]

Never

[gray sand]

So true 😭

Thankfully Seeker Meat is 1:1 conversion.

[west pulsar]

Bruh i already have so many coal

[gray sand]

Go find more iron. You will have less coal.

[west pulsar]

How much IRON DO I NEED I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO MAKE

[gray sand]

You never stop needing iron.

[west pulsar]

I have

I have 537 iron

[gray sand]

I guess you stopped building?

[west pulsar]

You build using wood and stone?

[gray sand]

Ironwood allows you to achieve greater works of architecture.

Especially with stone.

Stone has limits. Ironwood extends them.

[west pulsar]

Flametal pillar

[west pulsar]

I suppose

[gray sand]

Ironwood beats flametal iirc (just barely, but flametal lets you build in lava so that's the trade)

[west pulsar]

Meh im happy with my base

[gray sand]

What's that feel like? 👀😭

[random kayak]

It's so obscure that you won't really see it

99% of the time.

But I'm going to pull a "literally unplayable" move despite this

[west pulsar]

I had a heart attack

I thought i dropped drynwyn it was in the chest lmao

[stuck stirrup]

question

when is the last biome coming?

[merry pebble]

We dont know 🙂 but it will take some time still as the devs were (maybe still are, not too sure about that) in preproduction stage of it not too long ago

[stuck stirrup]

ah thanks bc me and my step father are waiting for the last biome 🥲

[merry pebble]

Well we got ashlands not too long ago 😄 so some wait time is expected

[stuck stirrup]

oh we know about that

[near furnace]

it's going to be a long wait

[stuck stirrup]

👍 thanks for the heads up

[lunar sapphire]

How long for the fictional bee biome?

[merry pebble]

Also considering it will be the 1.0 release i would assume it will be quite a long time 😄 (but i am happy to wait however long it takes :D)

[leaden elbow]

its awful, is there any console command or anything to take priority of hosting when im there or something?

i mean its fine if shes seperate, sure, as intended, but when were together is there any way to force the host of the world to well, host the area

[nocturne wolf]

Not that I'm aware of. A command to set priority for certain players would be a great addition though

[azure yacht]

No

[leaden elbow]

i mean.... it says dedicated server only but isnt the difference just that one stays always open (not needed) and the other on and off since its just the game?

[void hound]

hey if i die at sea do my items sink down?

[leaden elbow]

nope

the grave floats. always. boat stuff will be in a box

[void hound]

can i retrieve them somewhow?

[leaden elbow]

grave on the ocean surface

easily reachable from boat

trust me, ive experienced multiple deathsquito and sea serpent deaths in my 1 ingame year of valheim experience

[cosmic igloo]

i can just roll into DN with an existing world, right?

[teal matrix]

Yeah, just steer clear of the north as much as possible

[cosmic igloo]

aight

[wide topaz]

Honestly this is more exciting than a short one lol

[near furnace]

Deep north needs to be done right

it's the last biome update for the game

can't have it being a let down 😄

[wide topaz]

I feel like Ashlands delivered hard. Like that would've been really good as a quality standard for deep north. But I imagine you guys are gonna go harder

[near furnace]

😉

[wide topaz]

Is there a channel to post fan theories? Lol

[near furnace]

no 😄

#suggestions is full with them tho

or the theory crafters in #suggestion-discussion 🫡

[fallen zephyr]

#suggestions only exists because the PTR players are much more interested in 'prior knowledge' than they are in improving the game.

[tiny tiger]

My theory for the lil kid is he’s the last giant and that’s a boss fight like that shadow of the colossus game

Is there any giant skeletons in the Ashland’s ?

[nocturne wolf]

2* charred warriors are pretty big

[tiny tiger]

Oh no I meant like giant remains in the mistlands

[nocturne wolf]

No, those are only in mistlands

[fallen zephyr]

Be nice to get some context and follow-up to the petrified bones. Also the leviathans.

[crude sparrow]

guys, how can I improve the cauldron?

I haven't unlocked it yet idk why

[nocturne wolf]

You need turnips for the first improvement. There's one improvement for every biome past black forest

[crude sparrow]

Does it exist? Ive never found a single one 😭

[nocturne wolf]

They're much rarer than carrots. They look similar but are yellow

[teal matrix]

They spawn in swamp as well instead of the black forest

[steel mica]

quite rare to find

but 3 seeds = a your entire turnip supply

[crude sparrow]

I just need to keep them away from my friend.
He planted 50 carrot seeds and it all disappeared for some reason

[teal matrix]

More than likely they where to close to each other or attacked by mobs. It's important to keep your gardens protected.

[steel mica]

keep your farm land protected

especially during raids

[fallen zephyr]

By the time you have carrot seeds, it must be obvious that enemy creatures can damage your constructions.

[leaden elbow]

yall is it worth getting a black metal atgeir if ive been playing swords and ive got like sword 60 or something

i really wanna try atgeir's 2nd ability on fuling groups but i dont wanna die cus of a damage difference too large

[merry pebble]

Oh for sure go try it 😄

[fallen zephyr]

100%! Expanding your weapon skills is hugely satisfying.

[shy marlin]

Just a fair warning, atgeirs can have a learning curve behind them, it may take some time adjusting to the new playstyle

[merry pebble]

Be carefull and watch your stamina, the secondary eats quite lot of it 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

Fulings are short, though. You just gotta swing the atgeir like you're taking out knee-caps.

[shy marlin]

I'm more referring to the flow of combat, typical parry and smash is a reactive playstyle, while atgeirs are more proactive (stagger before they can even do anything), that switch up in flow of combat highlights the learning curve that may come

[fallen zephyr]

The 'Yes, and...' on this server is sorely lacking.

[teal matrix]

Love atgeirs, if I ever go back to 1H Sword and shield I'd 1000% carry an atgeir as a secondary

[fallen zephyr]

At the very least, you can subscribe to their Insta; @geir.

[teal matrix]

That got a chuckle out of me.

[leaden elbow]

albeit a bit cheaty im using circlet expanded (or something like that) so i have a stun area attack with the circlet. Obv depending on the circlet isnt as fun but as a start ill def start doing a sort of stun-secondary-stun-secondary for big groups. might be a bit fun so wont get overwhelmed

[hearty niche]

Are you looking for an improv troupe?

[tiny pebble]

I once explored the mountains early and I got either onion or turnip seeds

I forgot

[teal matrix]

Onions, mountain has onions, swamp has turnips

[hearty niche]

Something I like about that is if a player does discover onion seeds early, they only need a lvl2 cauldron to make use of them with onion soup.

[gray sand]

Round that up to 250 just to be safe. 😏😉

[wide zenith]

In what radius game creates stuff around player?

[shy marlin]

Nothing better

Me when my 25g of Ra 226 are left unattended for 180 days and I suddenly have 23.56g of Ra 226 and have 1.44g of Ac 228 😔

[glass parrot]

Is a level 1 huntsman bow a bit too weak for Moder?

[tiny pebble]

Yes thanks

[pliant hatch]

It's pretty weak against it, yes. But if you intend to use it only when Moder is in flight, it may help you anyway.

[glass parrot]

What about a level 4 fine wood bow?

[pliant hatch]

I think that's even worse.

If you want to use a bow, Draugr Fang is the (much) better option.
Even while it's poison doesn't stack, the overall damage it does is higher.

[glass parrot]

Okay that makes sense

[nocturne wolf]

Huntsman bow will be good enough though, and if she stays on the ground more (which is random) even a finewood bow will do

Make sure you're using obsidian arrows though

[glass parrot]

Not fire arrows?

[nocturne wolf]

Even with the fire weakness, obsidian does more damage

[glass parrot]

Alright

[cedar sparrow]

The problem with fire arrows is that the damage is in two parts - the pierce that occurs on impact, and the fire that occurs over time. If you don't wait for the fire to go out, then the next arrow is only going to do impact damage, which is low for fire arrows

Makes for a slow fight

[nocturne wolf]

Fire damage stacks so no damage is lost. Spirit stacks too, but not poison

[plush umbra]

yea, the problem is just that the damage is low

[cedar sparrow]

Really? It doesn't feel that way

[plush umbra]

22 fire x 1.5 due to the weaknes + 11 is still just 44 total damage, as opposed to the obsidian arrow's 52

[nocturne wolf]

Try using the staff of fracturing against something with a lot of health
Or just stand inside an aoe that deals fire damage

[cedar sparrow]

I don't like the staff of fracturing, so have only made it once lol

[glass parrot]

Do spirit arrows exist?

[plush umbra]

each hit's fire debuff ticks down separately, but their damage ticks happen at the same interval and thus add together, so if you rapidly hit something with fire over and over, the ticks will be much higher than a single hit's for a little bit before going down again

[cedar sparrow]

Silver

[glass parrot]

Okay

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe you need more patience and focus?

[glass parrot]

Is Moder weak to spirit?

[cedar sparrow]

Patience is not a strong point of mine

[nocturne wolf]

Only those with patience and focus will be able to harness the true power of this staff.

[cedar sparrow]

Nope. Other creatures are though

[plush umbra]

only undead (and some exceptions) take spirit damage at all, and of those only some are weak to it.

[cedar sparrow]

That counts me out then 🤣

[tiny pebble]

Me personally, I’m a fan of the crossbow

[cedar sparrow]

I like it too, but I still carry a normal bow most of the time

[ashen kayak]

just killed a 2 star greydwarf brute on my first black forest run

[plush umbra]

i got pretty tired of levelling bows and the earlygame bow draw speed after H&H, so mistlands adding crossbows was all i needed to never touch a bow again except sometimes for moder

[nocturne wolf]

What changed in H&H?

[tiny pebble]

Stuff

[nocturne wolf]

I meant with the bows

[plush umbra]

it was less so the changes and more the fact that i (just because i wanted my main character's skills to be maxed) grinded bows to level 100 right before hearth & home.
hearth & home claimed to nerf bows and it sort of did at least in the early and midgame, but max level bows are pretty much exactly as they used to be.
pre-H&H, the draw speed reduction at level 100 was iirc "100%", but this didn't allow you to machine gun out arrows because your character still had to complete the draw or undraw animation or else no arrow would be fired, so you hit the rapidfire shooting limit long before level 100. now, this limit can still be reached, it's just later than it used to be.
(also H&H made it so that once an arrow is fully drawn, stamina drain slows down, so if you were already level 100 in bows, H&H was purely a bows buff)

no other weapon's power difference between level 0 and 100 is as big as bows', so after spending a lot of time levelling them to 100 and getting used to that speed, the earlygame feel of bows became a bit grating, a problem i never had with melee weapons
though it was also helped by the fact that my mouse at the time struggled to hold leftclick, so it'd constantly release arrows early

[glass parrot]

My bow broke mid Moder fight 😦

[nocturne wolf]

You'll still be able to damage her when she's on the ground. What level was it?

[gray sand]

Arbalests my beloved.

[glass parrot]

1 💀

[gray sand]

I just wish Ripper could pierce through a target.

[glass parrot]

How much does she regenerate if I were to head back to my base in a few minutes to repair my bow?

[nocturne wolf]

All enemies constantly regenerate max health over an hour

[glass parrot]

I did like maybe a 5th of her health bar

[nocturne wolf]

So you have one fifth of an hour to repair

[glass parrot]

I died as soon as I unpaused the game

[nocturne wolf]

What to? (I know it was probably moder, but what attack?)

[glass parrot]

Ice rock breath attack

[nocturne wolf]

Make a terrain pillar when you can, it's an indestructible shield for that attack

[glass parrot]

I can avoid it just not when I’m stuck in a tight spot. I’m going to make a closer portal first though

[tiny tiger]

You got speed mead?

[glass parrot]

No

[glass parrot]

I did not

[merry pebble]

If you sleep the hp regen also speeds up

[glass parrot]

Oh yeah, I accidentally did that as I remembered that

[leaden elbow]

holy shit i fucking love atgeirs they complement my SWORD AND SHIELD playstyle so well. Completely different weapon, mixes and works so well

killing groups of enemies is so fun

i dont even need the modded light circlet stun for it

also whats the best weapon for loxes? so far porcupine has been the least shit for them but it still feels like there could be a better alternative

[merry pebble]

I always said mods are completely unnecessary 😄

[merry pebble]

The atgeir 😉

[leaden elbow]

fuck yeah, havent tried it on the atgeir yet so i wasnt sure. So i assume all big chonky enemies have a piercing weakness?

[leaden elbow]

eh the circlet's stun is still pretty fun anyway

[merry pebble]

They are neutral 🙂 but you can stagger them very well with it and they are resistant to other physical dmg

[leaden elbow]

tho since i moved my sisters pc to my room out connection has been pretty good, might use the recycling mod to get my stuff back and just have a normal light circlet, or at least a mod to JUST have the circlet with a helmet

[leaden elbow]

fair, still does more than a porcupine. awesome

[merry pebble]

Yeah, its entirely pierce while porcupine is roughly 50/50 pierce and blunt 🙂

[leaden elbow]

are the yagluth vegvisirs rare? i found a moder vegvisir after like the third mountain castle thing but i havent found any after a bajillion gremlin castles

[merry pebble]

They are not at the towers or the villages 🙂 they can be at the stone "gates" or the "stonehenges", and yeah they are probably the rarest vegvisir in game 😄

[leaden elbow]

after 190 hours i still have no idea what that orange vertical bar right to the crosshair means, with a shield icon under it

i assume its a blocking related thing, cant block for that time or something, but it doesnt seem to match to gameplay

[merry pebble]

The stagger bar 🙂 if it fills up you will be staggered

[leaden elbow]

oh shit only found 2 of those

[leaden elbow]

"just parry"

[merry pebble]

?

[leaden elbow]

i mightve not noticed what it fully means cus i parry and if i get staggered, its cus my health is too low and i just get instantly staggered anyway

basically i either do, or absolutely dont get staggered

[merry pebble]

Even while parrying you can get staggered

but it lets you block more of the dmg, that is true

[leaden elbow]

if my health is too low, ex. forgot to eat food

[merry pebble]

Even with the best food in game you can still get staggered, its just matter of how much dmg the enemy is able to do

[leaden elbow]

parrying in valheim is suprisingly easy, unless its a group, all with the same AI and attacking in different intervals. then, i run.

[merry pebble]

Oh yes 😄 it is quite enjoyable

[leaden elbow]

what im tryna say is i never saw the bar get filled even 10% since i dont let the enemy hit me, and if they did, ex early plains when i didnt know lox attacks that well, i was looking at the lox and my sister and not the UI

ok anyway off to visit some mountains

[west pulsar]

Or bows

[visual juniper]

When you find your first 2star wolf and lose it due to it clipping through the mountains harpooning it off a hole.
And the 2nd one lost due to it fighting a golem when I found it qwq ......

[west pulsar]

:( yea took me a lot of effort i tamed mine in the mountains

[visual juniper]

First new world in almost a year and I decided to delete all previous worlds and characters

[west pulsar]

Yea that's fair. For me i just enjoy the mid and later game more than early so i tend to use the same character

[visual juniper]

Well time to work. May Odin be with you all

[merry pebble]

Yeah 😄 tho atgeir is arguably faster

[oblique epoch]

Hear ye hear ye

Dynamic maps should be implemented, let me see the destruction I have wrought onto my land

Could be done either by having more markings or the less fun option, gps

[merry pebble]

You can put the idea in #suggestions tho i doubt it will be implemented 🙂

[astral prism]

am I the only one that immediately gets detered if they see a server with a mod pack like honestly its so annoying to download a mod pack for a server thats so small and barely has any players and you have to do all these work arounds if it doesnt actually work it just seems like a waste of time the world modifiers are much better in my opinion.

even for the ones with healthy communities its just not worth the hassle.

[merry pebble]

Thats why you can select the tags to vanilla in #1024264966712340510 🙂

[astral prism]

very true but not everyone clicks that button.

[merry pebble]

Welp solo is always an option 😄 i also dont like mods very much and enjoy playing in the world by myself

[astral prism]

true I have my own solo world that I play frequently

[gray sand]

You are not the only one.

[kindred hare]

im in plains for my first time. i dont understand how im supposed to actually beat these enemies. i cheated enough to get a sword and shield black iron or somethin. but im still getting obliterated.

[west pulsar]

Ngl i dont use them

[kindred hare]

even my parries dont save me from half health being just. gone from a spear

[gray sand]

What's your food?

[kindred hare]

sausage mincemeat eyescream

[gray sand]

Problem A located.

[kindred hare]

how. how does that food make my sheild not block

[gray sand]

Because blocking is tied to max hp which is tied to food, lol 😂😂

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[kindred hare]

since when?
its tied to the shield.

block force, block armor.

[gray sand]

It's tied to max hp and shield.
And since the Hearth update years ago.

Block force has nothing to do with ability to block.

[tiny tiger]

He’s right btw, stagger is tied to total hp which is tied to food

[kindred hare]

i see nothing about this on the wiki

[gray sand]

If only someone had written a indepth blocking sheet that was pinned in this channel...

[tiny tiger]

Look up stagger limits

[gray sand]

Now who could have written such a sheet 😉

[glass parrot]

I am here to steal the credit of said work

[tiny tiger]

Also block force is the knockback from the shield I’m pretty sure

[gray sand]

Can't. It is literally named "By Sevrahn" 😁

I appreciate the effort though!

[tiny tiger]

“Player with 100 health would have 40 stagger limit. Attempting to block 100 physical damage with 50 block armor would let 50 damage through the block which would be enough to instantly stagger the player and cancel the block damage mitigation.”

[glass parrot]

😕 That’s my nickname

[gray sand]

Sheet I wrote has a Readme that has a step-by-step of what the game does any time you attempt to block.

[kindred hare]

so. i just blocked a besrker on accident. how can i do that, but not a spear

[tiny tiger]

2 star or 1 star fuling maybe

[nocturne wolf]

Did the spear fuling have stars?

[kindred hare]

no

[tiny tiger]

What’s ur total hp in that scenario

[nocturne wolf]

Did you use the same item to block with the same max health?

[kindred hare]

4

[gray sand]

@kindred hare first, get better food. Please. For the love of Odin.

Second, bonemass power whenever you try to fight a village and it will be a cakewalk.

[kindred hare]

max health is. idk 120 somethin

doin bonemass yea.

[nocturne wolf]

Was your stagger bar nearly full when blocking the spear?

Bonemass won't affect what you can block

[kindred hare]

no

[tiny tiger]

No? Shouldn’t you be able to block twice as much damage? Where is damage reduction calculated in the formula

[nocturne wolf]

Player resistances are applied after blocking calculations, for the small amount of damage you take when blocking

[gray sand]

Eh. It's a bit more complicated than that.

[nocturne wolf]

How? I thought all the blocking calculation is done before player resistance is applied?

[gray sand]

Yes. But then it reduces how much damage you take post-block.
Which effects stagger meter.
So it does affect how much you can continually block.

[kindred hare]

so. what wolf skewer instead of mincemeat sauce, sausages is highest i have. eyescream is highest stamina.

[nocturne wolf]

You shouldn't even be using the sauce in mountains

[tiny tiger]

wolf skewer sausages and eye scream should be like 160 health

[kindred hare]

i know. i just had too much of it and it was working.
im running out now.

its only 25 more health. for blocking, meh. ig that helps but in general it wont stop me from being basically 2 shot

[tiny tiger]

How much armor do you have

[kindred hare]

doesnty seem like it since i onyl get like. a few ticks a minute.

its awful how slow the regen ticks hit

[tiny tiger]

You just have to adjust to the constraints of the game

[nocturne wolf]

Ignore what I said. Somehow two biomes apart those foods still have the same regen

[tiny tiger]

wolf armor with rooted chest is probably the best thing you can wear going into the plains as long as you avoid all fire

[kindred hare]

thats what i have. not rooted chest tho.

[tiny tiger]

rooted chest in particular will help a lot against the spear fulings and deathsquitos

[nocturne wolf]

If you use the root harnesk you can use the wet effect for fire resistance before you get barley

[kindred hare]

ig i do have barley growing. that can help

the torch dudes have actually been the least of my issue

[nocturne wolf]

It's mainly for the shamans, not the torches

[tiny tiger]

If you are struggling in the plains I do recommend taking a step back to upgrade your gear and stock up on good food tho

[kindred hare]

those too. bow them while i can, smack them when i get them to half. killed several

[tiny tiger]

My biggest mistake on my first playthrough was trying to push through mistlands under prepared, not taking advantage of meads or the best food etc

[kindred hare]

the only reason i hadnt changed off the mincmeat is cause its only a 15 hp difference between that and the wolf skewers. so no point wasting onions as i grow that stock

[tiny tiger]

You get a big enough onion farm going and it’s hardly a waste, all the hp you can get helps

[gray sand]

HHS coming out of the Mountain is Skewer, Sausage, Eyes. Yes.

You're shooting to swap that into Lox Pie, Fish Wraps, and Blood Pudding if you want to keep HHS.
Drop the Fish Wraps for Bread if you was HSS.

[tiny tiger]

Keep in mind stats deteriorate as the timer goes down too

Going serpent hunting is also a worthwhile investment

[gray sand]

True.

[kindred hare]

yea. i havent figured out how to fght on the boat yet. whenever i try, i just hit the sides.

[tiny tiger]

the bow aims slightly to the left of your reticle

So it is advisable to aim on the left side of your boat

[kindred hare]

fish wraps and wolf skewer will work. once i get my barley going more.
do i need to fish where i see fish, or anywhere work

[gray sand]

Stand on the side so your bow is over the side.

[tiny tiger]

Where you see fish

[kindred hare]

why do i have 2 0 star boars if i have 2 2 star boars? thought that it got it from the parents

[oblique epoch]

Kvastur aggroed out of nowhere, what do i do?

[nocturne wolf]

Kill it. It will respawn eventually

[kindred hare]

2 star deathsquito. bowed it. hit it but the hit didnt count cause we traded. tf

[nocturne wolf]

Deathsquitos can't spawn with stars, unfortunately

[kindred hare]

they sure asf can

[nocturne wolf]

Are you playing with any mods?

[kindred hare]

yea. idk if any would affect that

[nocturne wolf]

Mods often break the game in ways unrelated to their content

[kindred hare]

ive only got 12. so i dont mind. it makes waht ive got a bit easier in some way

idek what im looking for in the plains. ive got black iron smelting. flax and barley is growing.

[pine narwhal]

Hi I got Valheim a couple days ago and I've been on it for over 24 hours. Wanted to know when I can unlock stone buildings

[tiny tiger]

Swamp tier

[storm field]

Does anyone want to start a Vanilla world with me?

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[storm field]

Thanks!

[kindred hare]

i see. its cllc. i tried it cause some reccomended it. i think thats why ive been seeing so many more starred enemies

is there no blunt black iron equivalent?

and is padded the plains tier?

[tiny tiger]

Uhhh I don’t believe so? Frostner should be more than good enough tho and yes padded is plains tier armor

[nocturne wolf]

No, but that tier doesn’t need one. Pierce helps make the mace more effective for lox than a blunt weapon would be

And blunt doesn’t do much in the next biome either

[kindred hare]

blunt for the growths. the tar slime

[tiny tiger]

frostner is perfect against them

[nocturne wolf]

Your frostner (assuming you made once since you want a new mace) has spirit so it’s good for them

[kindred hare]

ok that works.

i was still with iron. so thats why i want an upgrade

[nocturne wolf]

Porcupine is a great weapon. It just doesn’t have the damage types you expected

[tiny tiger]

Have you beat the mountains boss

[kindred hare]

yea

even found one of them fancy caves that has the wolf boss thing. hes hard so i ran

[tiny tiger]

I’m curious, do you guys play combat fully zoomed out mostly or fully zoomed in or somewhere in between, because whenever I see videos a lot of players tend to be fully zoomed out and I’ve found I usually play the opposite unless I’m surrounded by a lot of enemies as it helps me read the enemy attacks better

[kindred hare]

im midway

[nocturne wolf]

I’m usually fully zoomed out unless I’m in a dungeon, using a bow (which is rare) or in mistlands

[kindred hare]

i tend close

[crude yacht]

As far out as I can so I can see as much of the field as possible.

[shy marlin]

fully zoomed out is the best, can see the most that way

[merry pebble]

I like to be somewhere in the middle, maybe a bit zoomed in 🙂

[kindred hare]

whats the strat for growths. i just get overwhelmed cause their attacks last longer than i can dodge.

[gray sand]

Shoot them before they get in range.
Works like a charm.

[kindred hare]

and have insane range.

shooting them does virtually no dmg with my bow. its the poisony one

obsidian arrows

[merry pebble]

Just run/walk sideways (circle them basicaly) and they will not turn fast enough to get you 🙂

[kindred hare]

i swear. yall must be playing a different game haha
that is the worst way ive tried tbh. they just firehose their tar

cant outrun them. cant get close enough to dmg. if i do, i get knocked back

i did get them to kill a lox for me so thats cool

[gray sand]

Draugr Fang rank 4 = 56 Damage
Obsidian Arrow = 52 Damage

56 + 52 = 108
108 / 2 = 54

54 damage per shot, target has 100 hp.

Define "virtually no damage"?

[kindred hare]

the red bar is like barely a sliver

dont have it rank 4. ig thats why

sheesh. i debug flew to get away and they still were aggro-ed

[nocturne wolf]

Spiral towards them while blocking. They’ll miss most of their shots and you’ll block the rest. Jump attack so you aren’t slowing yourself down to land a hit

[kindred hare]

if i take 5 steps forward, they hit me even a bit, i get yeeted 10 steps back

[nocturne wolf]

Blocking reduces knockback. What shield do you have?

[kindred hare]

plus the tar debuf

black iron

[nocturne wolf]

I’m pretty sure it would reduce that too, if it works like frost

I haven’t tested

[wispy path]

you should be running diagnally until they fire their tar, then go in for a few slices/smashes

[gray sand]

Or just shoot them 🤷‍♂️

[wispy path]

no reason to face tank them, they're very predictable

[nocturne wolf]

Shooting is boring

[kindred hare]

i stream in necks pond if u can watch

[gray sand]

Yes. But these are Growths.
Shooting is simple and effective. Save the non-boring for other enemies imo 🤷‍♂️

[wispy path]

yah, you can get yourself into trouble if you have 3 of them firing at you, but 1 or 2, and it's really easy to 2 tap bonk a growth with a mace

[nocturne wolf]

You shouldn’t be out at night. More enemies spawn

[shy marlin]

huntsman bow + fire arrows

[kindred hare]

circling absolutely does not work. i am fairly confident in that

is huntsman after draugur

[shy marlin]

before, it's the iron tier

[kindred hare]

ok think i threw that one out.

[merry pebble]

I am fairly confident it does 😄 thats how i dispatched them in last 5-6 playthroughs

[nocturne wolf]

It makes less noise than the other bows, so it’s a useful tool for attracting small groups of enemies

[kindred hare]

how did u circle them if there were more than 3?
cause if i circle 1, i just get hit by any others. and at this pit, theres like. 6

[merry pebble]

Dot get them all aggroed at once

[nocturne wolf]

You could bring some friends

[merry pebble]

2-3 are doable

[wispy path]

most of the time, i just lead other enemies to them anyway

[gray sand]

If you're going the circle method, I recommend drinking Rat Potion for increased speed.

[kindred hare]

how do i not get them agrrod. they aggro from me when i can barely even see the pit tbh

[wispy path]

grab a couple of fulings, and lead them to the tar death

[kindred hare]

yea. the lox are helpful. plus they die and i get lox stuff

[nocturne wolf]

If they see another enemy they’ll become alerted and it takes a while for them to stop

[kindred hare]

i brought 2 lox who instantly died. one was 1 star. then i died too

[nocturne wolf]

Lox aren’t supposed to spawn with stars either

[kindred hare]

he might be left over from when i removed the mod

i cant even loot his stuff cause its stuck. bruh

[merry pebble]

Drain the pool 😉

[nocturne wolf]

[kindred hare]

if only i could get close enough haha

[nocturne wolf]

[kindred hare]

i mustve been hitting a starred growth. cause the bow is working a tad better now

[merry pebble]

No starred growths

[nocturne wolf]

It’s a mod

[kindred hare]

i removed it dw.
it was annoying asf. still got some remnants ig

[nocturne wolf]

More loot is annoying?

[kindred hare]

not being able to kill anying cause theyre all 2-3 stars is

is there a mod that makes enemies friendly fire? that would be nice. cause the goblin dudes be spanking eachother all the time and it doesnt help me

[nocturne wolf]

Some enemies in ashlands have friendly fire

[kindred hare]

do bone fragments do anything? i keep gettings them i just throw them into the obliterator or whatever thing now

[nocturne wolf]

They have a use later on but you don’t need a ton of them. Just keep a chest and obliterate the rest

[wooden tapir]

just use them for decoration

make a bone pile throne or something

[kindred hare]

thx yall

[summer hinge]

@kindred hare just gotta mention I approve of the name

[kindred hare]

haha thanks.
i was currious if coconut doggy was a destiny fan cause "per aspera ad astra"
any idea?

[summer hinge]

nah, as far as I know I'm the only Destiny ||addict|| fan in the mod team

[kindred hare]

haha
i havent played in a bit. final shape was good. but they ruined the seasons with this current one

haha i got around 6k since d1.

[lunar sapphire]

Clearly not my destiny. Never played it

[summer hinge]

That's only my steam time. Got about 600h more on Blizzard and PS4 combined

[kindred hare]

based

[gray sand]

I played until Bungie broke their word and then never touched it.

[kindred hare]

which time was that hah

[summer hinge]

Fair. But you see, I'm far too gone down the rabbit hole.

[kindred hare]

basically my view too

[gray sand]

I believe in your ability to make your own choices regardless of bunny status.

[wispy path]

too much money in the store to turn back now?

that's the rationale we see in Star Citizen 😄

[summer hinge]

And it's the only PvP I legitimately enjoy in the gaming industry. Nothing else like it. I need to dig out my playtime stats, but a LARGE majority is in PvP

[kindred hare]

i dabble with sc. its not as bad as people want it to be.

[kindred hare]

yea. that was me back on console. im washed asf tho so i just stopped

[unborn nexus]

they have a cooldown after the barrage

[wicked cliff]

did they remove copper collapsing?

[summer hinge]

I average a 1.3-1.4 K/D

[gray sand]

Tetris Battle Royale didn't do it for you? 😏😁

[unborn nexus]

much longer than the normal ranged cooldown for bow wielding enemies

but the problem is complicated by simply more growths

blocking the attack with a shield stops the Tarred debuff but not the poison

[lunar sapphire]

Valheim best pvp game

100 percent

[summer hinge]

aaaannnnd... I just noticed we are very much in the wrong channel, URPS. Let's move the non-Valheim game talk to #general

[gray sand]

Oncologists say something similar 😉

[kindred hare]

haha nw i gonna focus on crafting anyway. have a good day

do i tame lox like i tame boar?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. It works the same for all tameable creatures, just with different food

[kindred hare]

ok thx

[thick folio]

So, we started a Asksvin farm in our meadows base and got a great lesson in invasive species.

[lunar sapphire]

❤️

Story time?

[thick folio]

Well, we happen to have a large pit weve painstakingly filled with mobs to train block skills, nicely encased in a small fence to keep out the riffraff. This will be important. Anyone whos raised Asksvin will tell you the same thing, they breed worse than rabbits. Before you know it you have dozens of eggs, and not much to do with them at the moment. So, we bred guard dogs for our base. A while after releasing these jacked up dino lawnmowers, we noticed they had begun to sniff around our training pen. which was okay, until they proceeded to break down the wall, forcing their way in. And we could only watch as hours of work kiting and pushing animals and greydwarves into this pit, was torn limb from stony limb as all the Asksvin we had released, some 5 or 6, began to charge the gap like they were storming a fort in the ashlands. After this, to the horror of some, they left the abattoir they had created and fled into the countryside, killing not to fill a hunger but for pure sport. Deer, Necks, Boars, ll that crossed thier path was cast down. A glorious and horrible display for Odin.

[lunar sapphire]

❤️ 👏

[kindred hare]

whats my goal for plains? do the goblin villages til i find 5 of the things and a village might have a stone to find th boss?

[unborn nexus]

raid the villages and stone buildings to find the totems

[primal cosmos]

When is 1.0 expected?

[unborn nexus]

also nab any flax/barley you see, you'll need a lot of both in the near future

[kindred hare]

yea i growing it too. got 2 lox taming as well

[unborn nexus]

barley for food, flax for gear

[west pulsar]

I need build ideas

[tepid prawn]

When it’s ready, no one has a date yet

[glass parrot]

Is a level 1 frostner good enough for the plains?

[west pulsar]

I mean yea but level it if possible

The plains can be navigated fairly easily if your patient

[kindred hare]

ive never leveled anything up and im doing aight so far. plains is def challenging me. so might start. seems like theres a fairly big gap between the plains and whatever is next anyway. but idk

[west pulsar]

Whats your main issue in the plains

[kindred hare]

the fact that i am in them

[west pulsar]

That doesnt answer my question

[kindred hare]

haha. mostly just fighting many things at once. im doing ok tbh

[west pulsar]

Oh ok so if enemy swamping is the issue atgeirs are god so is the sledge weapons anything with an aoe basically

3-5 should be easy enough with frostner and a bow

[kindred hare]

ok. i was gonna build an atgeir. im more of a sword shield guy so its not working as well here.

[west pulsar]

I am too however frostner and an atgeir with a bow is god make sure to snipe out enemies with sneek bonus

Getting a good snipe in can be game changing

[kindred hare]

yea thats been a big help

[west pulsar]

My main advice is be aware dont run into groups by accident always know where they are

Navigate intelligently and make lots of portals

Wasn't uncommon for me to have 5-8 portals per plains when i first did the biome

I typically put them in cleared fuling camps

[kindred hare]

yea thats what im doin

kinda dumb. i just cleared a massive camp for no totem. then this camp had 3 dudes and it had a totem

[unborn nexus]

fulings attack in a pattern

attack, run around like a lil bitch, attack again

[kindred hare]

yea they arent too bad unless i get several 2 stars

[unborn nexus]

the issue is that they usually never come alone

(and 1 stars deal damage in the 100s, 2 stars in the 200s)

berserkers keep the pressure on you, shamans give unbreakable shields(even to deathsquitos)

[kindred hare]

shamans are kinda not too bad as long as i have enough stam

[unborn nexus]

the duration for their shields are infinite but as a plus

[kindred hare]

only like. 2 hits

[unborn nexus]

it stops damage entirely, but it doesn't calc damage

so you can whip out your fast knife, carve away the barriers, and go back to business

[azure yacht]

Before 2030

[west pulsar]

Is root armor really that good

[unborn nexus]

pierce resist but still a swamp tier armor

• fire vuln

it can be negated with barley wine but yeah

[west pulsar]

Yea but isnt that just sacrificing all other damage for one type

I'll take more blunt slash fire poison frost but take less pierce

[unborn nexus]

yup

[azure yacht]

Some of the most damaging enemies deal pierce

[unborn nexus]

people swear by it, but i say just raise your shield when you see the lil buggers

[tepid prawn]

fire poison frost can be fixed with potions

[plush umbra]

the thing is that pierce is a common damage type and the pierce reduction you get is huge

[unborn nexus]

frost with a cape

[west pulsar]

You're gonna take a potion Everytime you fight something?

[tepid prawn]

no only when someone does a high amount of that damage like gjalls in mistlands

[unborn nexus]

i like the wolf cape

[azure yacht]

If that something deals damage the potion gives you resistance against then yes, 100%

[unborn nexus]

but i don't need to be constantly reminded i have a severed head next to my shoulders

[west pulsar]

How do y'all find the time

[azure yacht]

What time?

[unborn nexus]

spirit/lightning resistance potion when

[west pulsar]

To make all those potions dawg

[west pulsar]

Enemies need to do those types of damage first 😭

[azure yacht]

They essentially make themselves. You just do anything else while they ferment

[unborn nexus]

most fermenters i ever have is 2

sometimes 3, rarely 4

[cedar sparrow]

I have 5

[azure yacht]

So yagluth and fader

[tepid prawn]

for solo most is about 4-6, need more than 2 for new meads now, like berskerkir rata bunny meads and then the normal resisatace onces and health stam eitr

[unborn nexus]

found beehives x berry patches x "do i really wanna fucking make more bronze again" x what i need to restock/make

[plush umbra]

all archers deal 100% pierce
deathsquitos deal 100% pierce
fuling spear throwers deal 100% pierce
||dvergr rogues|| deal 100% pierce unless you cuddle them to provoke their melee attack
||seekers|| deal 80~% pierce
||ticks|| deal 100% pierce
etc.
many carry both the root harnesk and a heavy chestpiece around at the same time and switch depending on what they fight

[unborn nexus]

Dwarf rogues are a curious case

why can't we get a melee bash for crossbow?

[vital umbra]

winter hiii

[unborn nexus]

always bugs me in games where enemies get a move using a weapon, and when you get that same weapon, you can't use that move

[plush umbra]

it'd be very niche considering the crossbow lends itself more to long distance stealth combat, moreso than bows which i'd say are about mid range active combat weapons

but i couldn't say no to a bash either, secondary attack's just unused as it is

[plush umbra]

hiyaaa~

[unborn nexus]

i find much amusement idling at night and making a fight pit by kicking mobs from other biomes into it

[west pulsar]

Eikthyr

[plush umbra]

i mean, i doubt that potion/mead would be available pre-eikthyr if it existed

-# also wait, spirit resistance? we're immune to spirit

[unborn nexus]

who knows enemy that inflict status weaknesses on us

[west pulsar]

I suppose how much of a difference does it make i wonder

[vital umbra]

that would look cool

[plush umbra]

50% reduction before armor is applied. much like the bonemass power, it makes pierce attacks pretty non-threatening

[west pulsar]

Yea but why not just bonemass?

[unborn nexus]

i always liked the potion designs

[vital umbra]

add a new potion type thats borderline useless, cuz i think it would probably look nice on my kitchen shelf.

[plush umbra]

because you can only use that for 5 minutes every 20 minutes (i do use bonemass, just as my emergency immortality button)

[unborn nexus]

bonemass serves as both protection and a boost to the confidence of the player

[kindred hare]

breh how long to lox take to tame

[vital umbra]

3 years

[plush umbra]

taming an animal takes a total of 30 minutes of it being calm, loaded in and fed at the same time

[west pulsar]

I wish other abilities didnt suck

[plush umbra]

if any one of those is interrupted, it pauses until all 3 requirements are met again

food keeps an animal fed for 10 minutes

[kindred hare]

ok thats why then. thx

[unborn nexus]

elder i wish can also help with crops or getting seeds

for a giant tree guy, his ability is helping you destroy nature

[west pulsar]

Cutting down trees faster is the worst reward maybe ever

[plush umbra]

yeaaa i wish that ability at least also gave you a mining boost, but i guess that ship sailed with the queen power getting that boost instead

[unborn nexus]

lets you grind wood easier but later in the game you'll have enough chop damage to reliably 1hit normal trees

[plush umbra]

i stand by the elder being a good spot for that boost

[unborn nexus]

plus why make coal from wood when you idle around surtlings

[west pulsar]

Yea but make it do something else i propose. Make the elder increase your healing speed

[plush umbra]

that'd be interesting and kinda fitting

[west pulsar]

Exactly

[kindred hare]

the lox just friggin escaped. they stood on eachother

[west pulsar]

Asksvins also do this

[plush umbra]

lox do love doing that

it's why we call a group of lox a "stack"

[kindred hare]

at least it was the lesser tamed of the 2

[plush umbra]

functional lox enclosures are always a messy thing

[kindred hare]

i just split it in half so itll be ok now

now ill just sit here for 30 mins. then i shall ride into the sunset

does sleeping affect the speed

[plush umbra]

it's one of the very few exceptions in that regard - it doesn't

[kindred hare]

shame

thx yall

[west pulsar]

Hence why i never bother to tame them

And mounts drive like a fucking shopping cart

[plush umbra]

for some reason i do on like 50% of my playthroughs despite having absolutely no need for it

[west pulsar]

Is it worth doing another playthrough

[vital umbra]

i just burped so hard it hurt my chest

[west pulsar]

Ew

[plush umbra]

depends on you.
part of me does it because i'm invested in testing updates and how things change over time, but also the earlygame progression is just my favourite part of the game

writing down a long list of bugs introduced in each update and then never reporting them because i stress too much about doing it correctly

-# half of them are caught by the community and promptly fixed, but the other half i never see anyone talk about

[shy marlin]

Fader does not do lightning or spirit

[shy marlin]

dw there's a fun bug with fader that no one has reported and i can't be assed to show it, queen also has a crazy bug that you can trigger and do some fun stuff with 🙂

[plush umbra]

i've not fought either much but i sure don't doubt it, bosses love bugs and jank

[shy marlin]

it's quite funny actually, with proper set up fader will just constantly do fissure after fissure after fissure after fissure, endless loops of fissures, and he becomes literally unkillable

[plush umbra]

the stuff that bothers me most are the little things that are constantly on your screen whether you notice them or not, subtly (or something very bluntly) scratching away at the game's otherwise great atmospheric immersion

a now finally and deservedly famous example would be the goddamn dirt lines at the edges of chunks that were introduced in the ashlands update and iirc still haven't been fixed

[shy marlin]

ah yes

[plush umbra]

but i also can't be the only one who noticed that one of the more recent updates (i think bog witch but it could've also been something earlier than that) made dripping water particles weirdly bright?
it's most apparent in swamps, where everything's super dark but as soon as an enemy gets wet, they're highlighted from a mile away by dripping glowing white stripes, it definitely was not like that on early access release

[shy marlin]

hmm honestly haven't noticed that but maybe i just haven't been paying attention and now that you pointed it out i might notice it

[plush umbra]

side by side of march 2021 and november 2024

[vital umbra]

my god i've been playing this game a long time already

[shy marlin]

ye sure enough now that you point it out i see it. thanks, i hate it

[vital umbra]

is there a way to check when you first started a game on steam, all i know is i bought in before hearth and home

[plush umbra]

hmmmmm, your earliest screenshot?

[shy marlin]

view your transaction history

that'll show when you bought the game

[vital umbra]

it was gifted to me

[shy marlin]

then check your gifts i think that'll work

[vital umbra]

uhhhhhh

wheere when why how

well i can see gifts i sent, a bunch of valheims to my friends in 2023

the 16th of january 2022 i beat yagluth for the first time.

[foggy glacier]

it might still show in your purchase history, even if it was gifted to you.

or your licenses.

[heavy summit]

Is anyone looking for a tm8 for competitive and tournaments ?

[west pulsar]

OHHHH?

[vital umbra]

bro...i love how 4 years ago a post was made on reddit asking to not make ores teleportable 🥴

[light drift]

What's better for abominations. Axes or swords and boards

[shy marlin]

Swords are better

Hit faster and don't suffer from a multi target penalty

unless your using a battlaxe, then the advantage of sword having no multitarget penalty is equalized by battleaxes also not having multi target penalties

but even then swords > battleaxes for aboms

[plush umbra]

axes are balanced a little weaker because they double as tools, and battleaxes are balanced weaker against single targets because they're meant to excel at handling groups, so since abominations don't take any extra damage from axes, swords win by a little bit indeed.
(but you're likely to already have a decent axe by that point since a bronze axe is ""required"" for fine wood, so in that case it's subjective whether or not it's worth making a sword for abominations since the damage difference isn't huge)

[kindred hare]

bruh having a polearm upgrade to lvl 3 makes plains ez mode sheesh

[vital umbra]

fists

[plain smelt]

Wen PS5 port?

[vocal rivet]

Never? Maybe?

[tiny tiger]

I would gladly get a ps5 port to further support the game, I hope at some point rather than never

And if you are able to have the same characters/worlds connected I think couch gaming would be perfect for building

[wispy path]

game is in "early access" and "game preview" - something sony doesn't really do/like. sony is harder to work with, but they offer a bigger console market than xbox alone (not gamepass as a whole) so it's likely just a numbers game.

[tiny tiger]

Yeah that’s why in hoping for 1.0 or not long after that

[vocal rivet]

Numbers they don't really need.

[tiny tiger]

For 1.0 it would be a great way to boost sales i imagine, I’m curious of they will be able to reach the numbers seen on early access release with 1.0

[wispy path]

not sure i agree with that. it's not like companies stop trying to make money because they don't need it 😄

[light drift]

I've met the minecraft problem. I'm terrible and designing bases.
Or anything even remotely good looking 😅

[unborn nexus]

hey if it works, it works

[tiny tiger]

Well the only way to get better at building and designing is by experimenting and getting creative, how do you envision it to look and how can you get it to look the way you want with the tools available

[wispy path]

well, minecraft is easier too, because you don't have to support areas while trying to figure out how you want it built

[tiny tiger]

easier to build anything but easier to make it look good? I’m not so sure

[wispy path]

roofs are my problem child, i can make good looking interiors and designs of the base itself, but sometimes it's hard to get the roof to work well with angles, turns and different rooms/room sizes

[tiny tiger]

Do you have tarred roofs

[wispy path]

that, and you can build a really cool base, but have trouble supporting the roof without iron/stone

i have built with tarred roofs, yah

i've had like 6 worlds i've built in now

[light drift]

I suck at even getting started. I make so many boxes. I have these ideas and then I end up with a box

[wispy path]

#screenshots message i said the same thing back in sept 😄

[tiny tiger]

Look up Viking longhouse find one you like and try recreate it

[unborn nexus]

i make stone boxes

with stone roofs
too lazy to do wood

[tiny tiger]

I do recommend going about house building realistically, have the shape of the house and roof made with support beams then fill it in with floors walls and roofs

Add more support beams where required

[wanton rover]

^ realistic structures end up being the sturdiest and best looking lol

[hot trout]

somebody up?

[lunar sapphire]

Up and Adam

[hot trout]

xdd

why i cant write in the lFG channel? i joined yesterday and it said Slowing mode

[merry pebble]

You should be able to, just click new post

[hot trout]

i cant

[fair cairn]

i think its slow mode
so
he cant for the time being

[merry pebble]

Well i am not sure how long is the slow mode there, so might very well be that 🤔

[near furnace]

1 hour slowmode to prevent spam

[gray sand]

Given how some people can be, it is also a 1 hour spammode to prevent slow 😉

[knotty turret]

man, generating a better continents world takes so long

[crimson crow]

Soooooo I’m back playing after like a year, what the heck happened to the water textures?
I remember them being seemless between biomes now it’s big ugly checkered squares

[nocturne wolf]

They don't look like that for me

[knotty turret]

that sounds like some kinda mod issue maybe?

maybe drivers idk

[lusty crescent]

Mine are fine

[nocturne wolf]

If you have installed mods at any point in the past, delete everything in the valheim installation folder and reinstall the game

[crimson crow]

I don’t use mods and got the latest drivers 🤔

[fervent lion]

I have died 5 times this week because I leave the server open so my friends can keep playing.

No desire to pay for a dedicated a server and see this as the biggest flaw this game has.

Is there no way to allow multiple parties to contribute to singular cloud save?

[crimson crow]

I’ll do a fresh install later then

[nocturne wolf]

When I used to leave the game open, I'd use a command to fly high into the sky where nothing can touch me

Now I run a dedicated server from my laptop so I don't need to do that

[lusty crescent]

Did that once and got jumped by trolls

Not fun when I find my base in ruin😭

[crimson crow]

When you get your electric bill at the end of the month, probably have been cheaper to rent a server

[fervent lion]

I'm honestly gonna be disappointed if they don't eventually add dedicated servers. They should be apart of the game.

So many adventures ended prematurely because people can't get on when they want and lose interest as a result.

Name one successful multiplayer game that doesn't have dedicated servers other then valheim

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim does have dedicated servers?

[plush umbra]

and it always did

[fervent lion]

So why can't my friends log into a world we started together when I'm not online?

[plush umbra]

because you're not using a dedicated server

[crimson crow]

I think you mean public servers

[plush umbra]

you can either run one yourself using the tool in your steam library or rent one from a service that doesn't require one of your machines to be left running

[fervent lion]

So if I use the steam library option the pc has to be on?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[fervent lion]

So valheim doesn't have dedicated servers... it just allows me to use my own pc as one.

Really wish I didn't have to rent a server to actually enjoy the game with others...

[plush umbra]

i've never heard of a game that'll host 24/7 servers for you without charging you for the energy cost of having them run a machine for it

[crimson crow]

I think they’re on about official public servers, like Ark or Conan has, what I’m picking up
But this game isn’t designed like that

[plush umbra]

they're making a point about the PC having to be on, which would be the distinction between a dedicated server and a manually hosted one

[fervent lion]

I would only expect it to be on while being accessed by a party member. Would be kinda lame if days just went by when nobody was playing

[vocal rivet]

If you don't play daily there's probably not a need for a dedicated server.

[nocturne wolf]

On a dedicated server, days only go by when someone is playing

[plush umbra]

still has to be up for someone to join, considering you can't join a server that's not online

[azure yacht]

You don't

[crimson crow]

Oooooo I thought of one, it’s a lil known indie game…..

Minecraft I think it’s called 🤔

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure what a system would look like that only magically turned itself on when someone wanted to play it.

[crimson crow]

We have that technology, it’s called a PC 😅

I think I get what you’re saying though, it’s essentially a shared cloud save that anyone associated with can start up and host?

[fervent lion]

Fair enough, I'll just wait until 1.0 and bail on the game at the mistlands again for the 4th time because coordinating with more then 3 people consistently is too difficult.

Next time I do play this I'll be getting a dedicated server though... im actually sick and tired of unfinished games, this one was definitely one of the last I will support... idk how I could love and hate a game so much...

[crimson crow]

Unfinished game orrrrrrr Early Access 🤯

[fervent lion]

Bingo

[fervent lion]

LOLOLOL

[vocal rivet]

I don't know either, it's quite irrational. Have you tried playing solo? It's a single player game at heart after all.

[crimson crow]

Tbf I did enjoy it more with friends than solo and I’m extremely anti social

[fervent lion]

No, it's not. It's what we have come to accept as a result of what I talked about.

It's for 5+

[azure yacht]

That doesn't really sound different from a dedicated server with the only exception that there's only one host.

[vocal rivet]

It's not what?

[fervent lion]

A single player game at heart

[azure yacht]

And still, one person hosting a chunk of the world feels like it's more important than the world host

[vocal rivet]

Of course it is.

It's a single player game with optional coop.

[crimson crow]

Somewhere it states the game is “balanced around solo play”

[azure yacht]

Just because it has the OPTION of playing coop doesn't mean SP is NOT the intended way of playing, and is balanced around it

[plush umbra]

the devs didn't even expect multiplayer to be as popular as it is, which is why so much time after the EA launch was dedicated to patching up the network code, and why servers are limited to 10 players at a time, why there isn't any kind of anticheat, why boats don't have oars useable by other players, why there's scaling, etc.

it's a singleplayer game first, it just has optional coop and it's how most people ended up playing though it wasn't intended that way.

[crimson crow]

Twas made by European’s, we don’t like people

[plush umbra]

i like people!~
but after my first playthrough was a multiplayer one, i also really came to appreciate solo valheim

[fervent lion]

Fair enough. Single player is why I love it. The potential for multiplayer is what brings me back... the reality of the situation (either no access or denying access when unavailable) keeps me from enjoying it with others

[vocal rivet]

Noone is denying access to your game.

[wary bane]

Hello Valheimers, I have a building question.. is there a better spawnable i should be using rather than rock_destructible_test for unlimited build height?

[fervent lion]

I would be the one denying

[plush umbra]

imo skull1, it's tiny and indestructible

[warm flax]

their friends not being available

[fervent lion]

By not being available and not leaving my pc on while flying

[wary bane]

awesome cheers

[plush umbra]

(you can use forcedelete 5 skull1 to get rid of all skull1s within 5 meters (limit is 50 meters) around your character)

[wary bane]

one step closer to my 1:1 recreation of Bran castle. Cheers!

[lusty crescent]

Do you have wip ss?
Sounds badass

[wary bane]

sure.. one sec

i'll post in building SS

[crimson crow]

This is why I don’t have any, how dare they have lives that don’t revolve around me, bastards

[plush umbra]

also it's just funny to say "my castle is held together by a thousand skulls"
-# come to think of it, that makes me wanna check how many skulls i used for hvassfjallr

[vocal rivet]

Seems unfair to take that out on the game though.

[warm flax]

they tell me that i have the bad timezone

[wary bane]

also appropriate for the irl castle Bram Stoker decided was Dracula's home

[crimson crow]

Yeah my girlfriend used to say that, then they upgraded her AI package 🤷🏻‍♂️

I forgot how much I hate Gjall 😂

[vital umbra]

them be appearing out of thing fucking air and exploding you instantly due to the fire weakness of the feather cape

[plush umbra]

brasileiro?

[wary bane]

Just tested this and works perfectly. Thank you.

[wary bane]

kinda wish i'd started the build using spawned in indestructibles now, would've reduced the instance count by thousands if i'd not used steel support everywhere already. Ah well.. lessons learned. 🙂

[dawn solstice]

So there used to be a trick where you could rename a portal but it took a second to stick, and you could jump through to the original location. Is that not the case anymore?

[tiny tiger]

Maybe it’s based on ping

[dawn solstice]

I mean, this is a local game,

[fair cairn]

think that has been fixed

[plush umbra]

yea they now instantly clear

[nocturne wolf]

[versed solar]

whats the point of not giving antler pickaxe some upgrades?

[nocturne wolf]

Because then the bronze pick would be even more useless

[versed solar]

then why not restrict picking iron with antler pickaxe cos if everyone is able to do that no point in making the bronze pick

having some upgrades in antler pick is just qol

by upgrade i just mean durability like hammer or hoe thats it , itll be perfect keep the damage same just a bit of durability

[shy marlin]

It's the starting pickaxe, it shouldn't be good

i do find it a lil bit silly tho that you can mine iron with it

[versed solar]

yea then they should give us a reason to make bronze pick, like we need bronze axe for birch make the same thing with iron

itll make sense to make bronze pick then

[shy marlin]

ye

[teal matrix]

I mean, is the incentive not that the bronze pick has more durability?

[versed solar]

still doesnt make sense to build if you can skip the bronze pick just give 1 or 2 upgrade in antler pick(just for durability) or lock iron mining with bronze pick

[unborn nexus]

more stamina usage though

[glacial flume]

hi

im new i have a question

[teal matrix]

Can skip, doesn't mean will skip. 🤷‍♂️

[teal matrix]

What's up

[versed solar]

well obviously skip cos bronze age is the worst in valheim lmao

[glacial flume]

how much time takes a boar to be tamed

[teal matrix]

I don't mind it personally.

[teal matrix]

30min

[azure yacht]

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

[glacial flume]

there is a schedule for how rare is the wolf trofie?

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wolf?so=search

[glacial flume]

ty

[versed solar]

also is there a chance two 0 star boar can give birth to 1 or 2 star boar?

[azure yacht]

No

#valheim-chat message

[fallen zephyr]

I'm convinced Mistlands was designed by 'Big Peripheral'. They're trying to mkae us use the spacebar so much we have to replace our keyboards!

[tiny tiger]

Need a hold space bar to jump setting fr

In accessibility

[kindred hare]

ok i killed yagluth . he was actually a breeze.
are the mistlands the red areas on the map. the outer areas

[tiny tiger]

It should be like a black grey purpley colours?

[kindred hare]

purpley ig ye. ok thx

[wide zenith]

Why there is no bonemaw stew?

[merry pebble]

Would be too OP 😄

[wide zenith]

No

[merry pebble]

Well if we take normal serpent stew and its stats that are equal to food 4 biomes later... yeah it would be too OP if it would follow the same patern 😄

[nocturne wolf]

It could be a normal health food in deep north though

[merry pebble]

Oh for sure 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I hope the currently unused bonemaw scales make a shield there too

[merry pebble]

But not with the stat jump like the normal stew has

[kindred hare]

a stat jump is sausage to lox pie

[wide zenith]

Bonemaw scales?

[nocturne wolf]

They exist but aren't dropped right now

[wide zenith]

kay

[teal matrix]

Had me super confused to ngl

[kindred hare]

bruh my first mistland biome is literealy small enough i can see how small it is just by zooming out

[azure yacht]

Because the game is not finished

[frosty saddle]

So when is the Oceans Update coming out or have they just given up on that update? It was the update that my friends and I were most looking forward too as the Oceans are quite barren, would be awesome to have new ships and an Ocean boss

[tiny tiger]

Dude it feels like mushrooms take forever to respawn I’m always running low coz of wolf skewers

[azure yacht]

Whenever they deem it ready to be released.

And wouldn't make sense to have an ocean boss

[tiny tiger]

they stated years ago they scrapped that road plan so no idea if it’s still even planned

afaik they haven’t mentioned anything else since

[nocturne wolf]

I don't remember the roadmap saying anything about an ocean boss

[tiny tiger]

Yeah just some kind of ocean update

A mini boss would be nice

[nocturne wolf]

Only 'ships and the sea' nothing about a boss

[tiny tiger]

Yo will greydwarfs throwing rocks at their spawner eventually break it or does it regen health?

[shy marlin]

will eventually break

[merry pebble]

Well we dont even really know if it is comming 😅

[kindred hare]

are the mistlands always so islandy, or am i just unlucky with this biome generation

[merry pebble]

Not always, just unlucky 🙂

[plush umbra]

that's what they do to shallow seas - turn them into archipelagos

solid land that got populated by mistlands will still be solid land

[kindred hare]

ok good. thx

[kindred hare]

i think i am missing something. i have a lvl 7 forge, yggdrasil wood and black iron, but i cant craft the new stuff.

[keen cliff]

what are you trying to actually build?

[kindred hare]

pick

[keen cliff]

do you mean black metal pickaxe? https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Black_metal_pickaxe

[kindred hare]

no.

[keen cliff]

what pick then?

[kindred hare]

oh yes.

sorry. thought itd be called soemthing else.

[keen cliff]

you only need crafting level 2, 3 ygg wood, and 25 black metal.
