[kindred hare]

have them thats why idk why i dont have it in my list

[keen cliff]

either you just can't see it because you're blind, or there's some weird bug you have, probably from mods

[teal matrix]

Black Metal Forge, not regular

[unreal bear]

maybe it is there but your eyes arent seeing it because you weren't looking for "black metal pickaxe"

[keen cliff]

black metal pickaxe is from normal forge

[teal matrix]

Hrmmm is it? Feel like I made mine at the black forge?

[foggy glacier]

regular forge.

[keen cliff]

it's the regular forge

[unreal bear]

it is def regular forge. only "mistland" part of it is the yggrasil wood

[teal matrix]

Sure enough, idk then

[kindred hare]

ugh. yea. i see it now. why dont they add onto the bottom of the list of things. i didnt realize til now its alphabetical

i was looking under iron cause my brain says "it goes by tier"

[nocturne wolf]

Through normal progression, you'd want the black metal pickaxe to get black marble for a black forge

[unreal bear]

if they did that, someone else would complain that it is not alphabetical lol

[keen cliff]

there's ALWAYS room to complain

[kindred hare]

yea hah

[teal matrix]

I know on console if you have everything it pops to the top. Instead of being grayed out as well, so maybe you just looked to low?

[keen cliff]

it's the one constant

[kindred hare]

i dont mean to complain. just like. breh moment.

[keen cliff]

meh. i struggle to find stuff in the crafting menu lists all the time

[unreal bear]

lol i have overlooked things many times, thinking it is not there, but just missed with my eyes

[keen cliff]

and in the build piece menus

[teal matrix]

Folders for crafting tables when?

[kindred hare]

is reinforced chest the biggest one

or black metal maybe higher tier

[unreal bear]

not technicaly, but someone has shown that it is the largest storage vs. physical size of the crate

[nocturne wolf]

Black metal chest is biggest, with the same inventory size as a player

[unreal bear]

for instance there is a larger chest, but they take up more space

[kindred hare]

ok thats what i want thx

[unreal bear]

i think you can stack reinforced iron chests next to each other almost overlapping

[tough plinth]

Can I find Hildir before defeating the second boss?

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need to kill any bosses to find all traders

[tough plinth]

oh thanks

[keen cliff]

i can fit 6 black metal chests in a 4x4 space against a wall. i think someone has said they can get more space out of reinforced though?

[unreal bear]

Yeah someone posted a screenshot in the past few days that caught my eye. I don’t remember the exact numbers but the take away was that in the same amount of space, you could fit significantly more reinforced crates than blackmetal crates. Resulting in more storage

[keen cliff]

For black metal chests, it's 6 * 32 = 192. Does anyone know how many reinforced you can get in the same space?

i'm seeing a Reddit post that shows 8 reinforced chests in the same amount of space, which is 8 * 24 = 192 also

[foggy glacier]

I think reinforced is slightly more efficient over a longer space, IIRC 13 reinforced vs 9 BM

[keen cliff]

interesting. sounds like it's possible to squeek in an extra reinforced over 6m

[foggy glacier]

something like that, yes.

[unreal bear]

I wish I has saved the screenshot that person posted. I just looked through the Screenshots chat and I don't see it. it may have been posted in the Help chat

[keen cliff]

312 vs 288, assuming those numbers ar ecorrect

so less than 10% more. I don't know if it's "significant", but it's more.

so assuming you have no metal constraints, reinforced is the way to go. i /think/ people tend to end up with more black metal however. at least i have

[foggy glacier]

I usually do, mostly because I have more black metal than I ever know what to do with.

[keen cliff]

yeah, that's part of the reason i've settled on black metal chests

[plush umbra]

was it this old image of mine?

[keen cliff]

at the time, i also thought it was equivalent to reinforced density. but i'm ok that i'm missing out a little bit. considering how much black metal i have

[keen cliff]

yeah, that's probably it. thanks

[plush umbra]

i should've added a note to the height that you can clip them into each other vertically as long as you start at the top row of a cabinet and work your way down from there

[merry pebble]

Ehm, gonna steal save this for... research... purposes. 😄

[unreal bear]

the one I saw was very similar, the same concept, but smaller
Thtat's a great guide though! thanks

[tiny tiger]

Eh you’re only missing out space wise storage wise I’d say it’s still the better option just need a big enough base to accommodate

Black metal is way easier to acquire than iron

[plush umbra]

the BM chest's absolutely cheaper yea

[hearty niche]

Yeah when I did the kitchen rebuild on our last playthrough I almost went that way because the blackmetal chests are a pain in the ass to build around. The scale is just big enough to be awkward.

And yeah black metal is way easier to acquire than iron. You can spend a couple nights roaming through plains and come out with a few stacks of it

[wide topaz]

Has anyone found a use case where berserkir mead excels? So far, the only thing I can think of is "use it in conjunction with bonemass so that overrides the weakness"

[gray sand]

Boss fights where you have decently long periods between their attacks and can just wail away.

[wide topaz]

ahh perfect, thanks

I suppose then if you were to be power levelling, you can go in with strong armour to overcome the weakness issue, and that'd be a good idea?

[gray sand]

Armor? You mean Dodgerolling? 😛

[wide topaz]

lol

sure, let's pretend I said that, due to my skill level

[gray sand]

😄

[warm sandal]

I usually go with a wall of wooden chests even in later stages... just because i like the orderlyness of it. one chest one or max two materials in it. My OCD runs wild with chests that have all kinds of stuffs in them when i go E to stack things in everything gets a mess 😄 so Apothecary STorage for me lots of small chests 5 levels high or something usually i go 6 wide and 4 or 5 high 😄

and it is dirt cheap 😄

@wide topaz sorry wrong chat 😄 I do love the orderlyness of it and the signs on it... i go by brain muscle to know what is where usually (always same box same things 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Just jump over everything

[wide topaz]

My run is 92 now, so I can just run away too :' )

I'm a proud viking warrior

[pliant hatch]

Vikings don't run away!

They do use tactical changes of position to make sure not everyone gets butchered by enemies.

[wide topaz]

man I really love this game

[pliant hatch]

You and 28,482 steam users right now. 😉

Or 28,481 if you're a steam user too. 😜

[west pulsar]

Yea real shit

[open galleon]

newbie enter the 10th world !

[pliant hatch]

Don't break your legs when you're dropped between the sacrificial stones!

[merry pebble]

Also beware of malicious trees trying to smack you on the head 😄

[west pulsar]

How's fallout going

[west pulsar]

With rocks 😔

[merry pebble]

No no, rocks will not fall on you on their own 😄

[open galleon]

My spawn is on the sacrificial stones island don't know if always like that but pretty hard to swim out of it

[open galleon]

already done, first tree..

[pliant hatch]

Slow. I really dislike the building in that game. The rest is going OK. I haven't died in the last 10-ish levels. 😄

It's also a good distraction from Valheim when that game has been played a bit too much.

[merry pebble]

Welcome to world of Valheim, you have just gone through the rite of passage

[pliant hatch]

You forgot that they also has to smack a rock thrown by a Greydwarf with a club......

[warm sandal]

you got a such tiny island that you have to swim to leave it? gimme that seed please i wanna seeeeeeeee

[open galleon]

then you discover the greydwarf with blue eyes, spawning by 3 and violating me..in the dark..

[open galleon]

QUq0FfV4Hp

[open galleon]

worst thing to deal with was being hit by boars and tiny greydwarf and trying to reach the shore ahead with 3hp and die in 10 sec because no stamina and still in the water...

[warm sandal]

Oh woooooow... you got massively unlucky for a newbie to get such a seed... it is very very very rare to have it such a small island

[open galleon]

bad luck is my life resume

[warm sandal]

I am gonna save that seed for getting a realy challenge one day.... 😄

[open galleon]

feel free to do so ^^

dark forest are far from spawn site

[warm sandal]

I have seen some spawns on islands so small that you would barly be able to survive on the 3 berry bushes and 3 mushrrooms but I have never seen one THAT small

[open galleon]

I just build my first ship and try to explore yesterday night but wind are always bad when I'm ready to take the sea

[warm sandal]

i made a test character yesterday in a test world to try out some mods for a run i will be doing on youtube... but instead of doing a lot of testing i find my self enjoying playing on hard and trying to get a food on the floor with all them starred greydwarfs... I am afraid I am a serious addict

[open galleon]

little question, do you have to walk/sail on all the map or can you buy a map or find part of it in ruins ?

[warm sandal]

there is not trader selling maps in this game ... you gotta explore it yourself 😄

[open galleon]

I'm struggling with survival and you said that... 🤣

[open galleon]

seems quite a large map, isn't it ?

[warm sandal]

Weeeeeelp... i got 2600h in the game... I feel i should be a little more proficient with it than you, due to sheer amount of practise 😄

[warm sandal]

I never managed to discover all of it in all my hours... it is a LARGE map and that is the fun of it... it is always new and always interesting that way

[unreal bear]

you will find things that mark POI's on the map. so you will know where some distant things are, but it will still be unexplored fog of war

[open galleon]

like the red stone at the sacrificial stones ?

[unreal bear]

yes

[warm sandal]

they are called vegvisr and do point to POI 😄

[open galleon]

just for bosses or other things ?

[unreal bear]

couple other things, but bosses probably the most important one

[warm sandal]

vegvisr are for bosses... no vegvisr to other things... but you gonna run into those... just listen what the raven has to say and keep your eyes peeled

[open galleon]

ok ok

[warm sandal]

wissh me luck i shall now endevour the first burial chamber...took me 4 days after killing eik to get all the stuff to get good enough armor and weapons

[open galleon]

good luck then !

[pliant hatch]

And that's another thing a new players should keep in mind:

Don't rush, it's better to "over prepare" (meaning maximum level of armor, weapons, food, potions and lots of them) as to go in fast for the kill and find yourself back at your spawn point all the sudden.

[warm sandal]

o wow... first room .. 4 core 😛 this is gooooood

[glass parrot]

Just got 4 totems out of the 5 for Yagluth from 1 village 😎

[open galleon]

i'll try to keep in mind, I understood that this game is not an arcade one, some tactics needed to be done

[west pulsar]

Yea agreed

[pliant hatch]

There will most likely be guides out on Steam, several game sites like IGN, etc. Plus you will get advise here.
Some will be conflicting, so you will have to choose the thing that's best for you.
But taking things slow to learn the game is always a good thing.

Basically the first two bosses can be considered as a "tutorial boss".
The third, fourth and fifth boss are there to let you get aquainted with the weather circumstances, fighting bosses with additional monsters spawning and the various elemental damage a boss can do.

The sixt and seventh (and last for now) boss are similar as the third and fourth; but the environment is a lot more hostile and complicated, meaning you will have to alter your approach to maximize your damage output and minimize your damage taken.

There are a few tactics the majority of players use. Bow and shield / weapon (either blunt or slash) is one tactic. Using a pole weapon is another.

The best thing you can do - unless you don't want spoilers - is to look things up at the wiki.
There's a lot explained about the monsters, the bosses you will have to fight and how to fight them.

Also: cheesing a boss fight isn't cowardice, but a way to get the boss killed without being killed yourself.
After all, only the smart warriors remain alive long enough to pass on their knowledge. And using tricks and "cheats" (as some see them when you cheese a fight) is one way to remain alive.

Still, you will die. Either from something you didn't expect like falling trees, from a monster from a higher biome in the biome you're in, from drowning and from boss fights.
It's no shame if that happens, but it's a good lesson to remember to do things different next time. Because there's always a "next time" in this game. And unlike "Shadows of Mordor" the ones killing you don't have a memory. 😉

[warm sandal]

Thorin my friend you should get hired by Irongates PR Team... this text reads like it could be in a blog promoting Valheim 😄

[pliant hatch]

Reading it back, it feels more like I'm teaching.

So.............

Class dismissed! Go play Valheim and prosper. 😄

[merry pebble]

Yes sir!

[warm sandal]

have to do some japanese vocab recap first before i can take the 10 core i found back to base ... learning needs to be done 😄

[pliant hatch]

10 cores from a single Burial Chamber?
Nice. So that's the Charcoal burner ànd the smelter in one run.
Don't have modifiers on, I s'pose?

[gray silo]

huh so looking at the biomes to be updated, the ocean isn't one of them, kinda sad considering how little there is to do there besides sail and maybe a bit of fishing

though the deep north is also super cool

[merry pebble]

We dont really know if there will be something done with ocean unfortunately, there have been some hints but nothing concrete, and even if it would get an update it will not be a full fledged biome with boss and stuff 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

damn after 4x vh runs, it actually feels pretty refreshing to play some normal, wearing flametal armor & sword+shield

finally parrying stuff

[warm sandal]

It is a test char for building...so i got modifiers on... but the game can not multiply what does not drop...so i had to hunt for 4 ingame days /while searching out locations/ to get the stuff needed for the stagbreaker

[gray silo]

that makes a lot of sense, making things in the water is kinda clunky especially because you can only access the surface of it, from a development point of view it would probably be hard to make something on the water that isn't an island or a new type of fish enemy, the only thing I could think of is some kind of boss spawned from a kind of fishing bait.

[open galleon]

thank you , Oh Elder one !

[warm sandal]

39 stone?!? grrrrrrr

seriously though... i made this testwrold and testcharacter specifically to test things... i could be spawning in the stuff and be done with it .. .but i find it more interesting to do it the oldfashioned way 😄

[pliant hatch]

Surprisingly, considering how long I got it, I've never finished it. I intend to do that now, but since I did a fresh start that's going to take a while. At least my main "base" is secure enough, although I do plan to go "underground" at some point.
If only if it was to keep all my nice goodies save. 😄

[warm sandal]

second chamber got 5 cores in the first rooom only we shall see what else 😄 (with multiplier i can have a smeltering laneI

[placid abyss]

#keepitvanilla

[merry pebble]

World modificators are still vanilla 😉

[placid abyss]

Or #nocheating ?

[merry pebble]

Its singleplayer game, cheating is only what you personally consider it being 🙂

[pliant hatch]

I love it when people join a conversation without knowing the background and base their judgement and comments on one of the last lines mentioned.

[placid abyss]

#readtheroom?

[cosmic igloo]

lmao i do that all the time

[warm sandal]

well... i explicitly made this test world and char to not contaminate my usual games... i wanted to try out some things... but really... I did consider spawning in a cart and then thought ah nah... it is gonna be more fun collecting the stuff and making things myself 😄

[glass parrot]

#

[placid abyss]

🤣

[warm sandal]

I can not help myself... i might need therapy 😄

[placid abyss]

This is your therapy.

[tiny tiger]

New speedrun category: cart speed run

[glass parrot]

How much black metal should I get?

[tiny tiger]

All the black metal

[placid abyss]

All of it!

[warm sandal]

well anyway if i am going to be making building videos it will not be a viable route to grind all the stuff needed... sooo... gonna get over myself and use no cost building or i will never get it done 😄

[tiny tiger]

Just get as much as you can and keep it coming over time

[tiny tiger]

Have fun!

[cosmic igloo]

put base in plains for passive black metal ore gains

[glass parrot]

Alright that sounds good

[placid abyss]

We wont think less of you. Well I wont.

[pliant hatch]

Enough for what you need for your weapons and armor including upgrades, then 4 times more than that, because you will discover there's always things to craft with it anyway.

[tiny tiger]

Fortunately you don’t need black metal for armor

Unfortunately you need iron for plains armor

[pliant hatch]

Yet.

We don't know what the devs are cooking for DN

[tiny tiger]

Aw man I can’t wait honestly, they’ve genuinely done such a good job so far with the updates

[placid abyss]

Polar bears!

Narwhals!

Snowballs!

[cosmic igloo]

has any1 here made an arena where u cage diff mobs and then make them fight each other?

[glass parrot]

Would rather use black metal for armor honestly because I don’t want to go back into the trenches (the crypts) it’s not as fun as eliminating entire civilizations of fulings

[tiny tiger]

Atleast this time round swamps are a cakewalk

it’s just the time investment

[glass parrot]

I’ve seen someone do that on YouTube

[placid abyss]

Ive seen videos. But no. Sadly

[warm sandal]

Oh well at least for today i am gonna return to base and save the game... i do need to get up 5 am...

[glass parrot]

Yeah, it’s not too hard now but yeah just tedious

[tiny tiger]

On the plus side you can have the barley and flax growing while you raid swamps

[cosmic igloo]

id up the resource gain rate

[glass parrot]

I got none from the village I raided earlier

[tiny tiger]

I was fortunate enough to gather enough iron beforehand

Damn I thought it was guaranteed atleast one of the plants

[glass parrot]

I thought so too 🤣

[cosmic igloo]

as i said b4, we need something like a grenade to blast mine so stuff like boring crypts get done faster

[tiny tiger]

A magic weapon for mining ores tbh from the dvergr

[pliant hatch]

ooze bombs and bile bombs do that

[cosmic igloo]

they explode the ore deposits?

[tiny tiger]

they break ores?

[pliant hatch]

No, monsters

[cosmic igloo]

nah i think he misunderstood

ya we just talking about the ores. thats the tedious part about crypts

[nocturne wolf]

Iron pickaxe gets through them very fast

[cosmic igloo]

like u know how we return to lower lvl zones and we blast all enemies? should be same about ore deposits, should be easier to mine those

stuff like gathering wood is also a cakewalk since u just summon trolls

or gather stone

[teal matrix]

Not me still doing all that shii manually

[cosmic igloo]

damn

[pliant hatch]

I dunno. I mined about 3K of Iron scraps. Still smelting my 2nd 1K and having another 1K ready near a swamp to be transported. I didn't find it that hard to do. At least, as long as those Draugr Elite or starred Draugr archers left me be.

[cosmic igloo]

but ya some tech from dverg for sure, they are dwarves after all.. mining is their thing so they should have some tech to do it faster

[cosmic igloo]

its just boring

[pliant hatch]

Yup. That 'tech' is called Iron pickaxe and Black Metal pickaxe.

[open galleon]

the building system doesn't seem able to manage non geometrical form, right ?

[cosmic igloo]

what does dverg have to do with the pickaxes?

[warm sandal]

depends on what you mean by non geometrical

i made round buildings before and roofed them too

[pliant hatch]

It does, but you need to hold [shift] to disable the auto-clipping of build pieces

[warm sandal]

night folks me is over and out

[open galleon]

good night to you

can't close the roof on what I tagged you on screenshots channel

[pliant hatch]

The angle is making things a bit complicated, but do you have 3 roof pieces wide on that bottom center roof part?

[open galleon]

more like 4 and a half each side

[pliant hatch]

How wide is your entire building?

One thing you can do is to demolish the whole roof at the short side, then use the corner pieces (I think they're called "outer corner") at the corners of your walls. Fill up the empty space between those two corners, then add corner pieces at the bottom layer.
Repeat this until you get to the last row. At that point, use only corner pieces and press [shift] to disable the snapping so the two corner pieces would overlap in the central part of that roof.

In theory it should work, but it may take some time and patience to get it done right.
So piece of advise: when building a house with an odd number of wall pieces, use the roof top cover for the central roof piece. It will close things up better, look better and give less stress.

Also, since you need to divert the smoke from your fire, having that central roof part lifted a bit above the rest of your roof will work quite well.
Just make sure the roof is reinforced by using the angled beams and connect them to standing wooden beams added to your wall.
For the top part, using 1m standing wooden beams connected to the angled ones and above it connected by normal beams will be enough to support the central roof piece.

[open galleon]

can't send the screenshot

[open galleon]

ok, i may figure it out by changing from 45° only for the 1st stage then 26° close quicker
I send you the drawing in screenshot mods channel

[pliant hatch]

Right. By the looks of things you will have to use the [shift] key a lot to cover the areas.

I'm afraid it's going to be a trial and error method here.
And due to the way you set up the walls, I doubt it will look good at any time, as some of the roof parts will clip through other ones.
You may eventually get the building pieces for something like that, but it will be at the current last boss.
Which is a few dozen hours ahead of you right now.

[open galleon]

then i'll demolish this ugly building...
Thank you for the help

[pliant hatch]

You're welcome.

Perhaps start with something simple like a crossed or T-building first. That will give you an idea about how to use the wall and roof pieces as up until Mistlands the roof pieces have the same layout. Only the material changes.
It also gives you the chance to use both corner pieces.

Of course, the easiest method is simply building a rectangular or square building, but those are so easy, you should be able to do that with your eyes closed. 😉

[open galleon]

thank you for your teaching and your kindness

[pliant hatch]

You're (again) welcome.

Can I go to bed now? 😄

Have fun. I'm sure you may get some ideas in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202264206628630548
But keep in mind you won't be able to use stone or any other material other than wood until you've reached the swamp.

Another thing you could do, create a 2nd world, turn off the raids and anything that is hostile to you - if possible - set the resource gathering to its maximum so you get lots of wood and find yourself a nice piece of land.
Start building there and trying things out until you're familiar with the building mechanics.
It helps a lot. (done it myself too).

[open galleon]

haha, you could any time !

Thank having lots of fun and frustration ! ^^

[cosmic igloo]

for ashwood wall. is the side with the cross supposed to be interior?

[leaden elbow]

Removed mods such as quickstackstore, equipment quickslots and a few others to get closer back to a vanilla experience while keeping the stuff that makes no sense it doesnt exist in vanilla (trashing, for example - theres even free space between the inventory thingies for a trash slot). Somehow raised my fps by 15. By removing INVENTORY SLOTS.

How unoptimized does a quickstacking mod gotta be to be constantly checking for items in chests, holy

[merry pebble]

#mods-discussion

[leaden elbow]

Topic redirects stink, nothing says i cant mention mods in this channel

Its even about removing mods anyhow

[shy marlin]

if you want a mod that really tanks fps try the seasonality mod

[leaden elbow]

To my suprise whenever i tried it (always removed it, the winter ice has a horrible shader) it slightly raised ram and vram usage, but never lowered fps

I always seem to get in a loop with games, vanilla-"just qol"- way too much qol, strays further and further from intended experience, i realize some odd issues, i remove mods and keep like 20 of the previous 80

[peak lark]

@vital umbra your a gerberr

[near furnace]

winter ice?

in deep north or mountains?

[leaden elbow]

Oh uh in the mod during winter (day counter) the water freezes over and the mods frozen water shader looks horrid

[near furnace]

ouch

[leaden elbow]

Deep north? Ouch spoilers, but isnt that gonna be a future update? Or is the biome already there and theyre just gonna add stuff?

Fyi im at plains

[near furnace]

just go to current deep north 😄

[leaden elbow]

I see, kewl

All ive seen past the plains myself is a little glimpse of the mistlands from my boat (and autoplayed youtube videos when scrolling)

[idle storm]

Unless you explore huge amounts of it it doesn't really matter too much. I went to Ashlands pre-update to catch the fish there and while my portal outpost there was destroyed with the update the Ashlands still generated normally there afaict. Even if it hadn't it was only a small sliver on the side of the map.

just don't build your main base there or keep anything you can't replace

[near furnace]

it will have problem with land height

[idle storm]

i guess i got lucky then

[near furnace]

probably

the beach area is kinda safe

but you won't spawn any things that suppose be there

[idle storm]

that's not exactly a disadvantage in the Ashlands 😅

though i didn't know that so i landed somewhere else on the PTB 😂

[tribal wedge]

Hello! Is it normal that after defeating Moder everything's foggy all the time? I know Mistlands is supposed to be, but everything? Or am I having the worse luck..?

[nocturne wolf]

Defeating bosses has no effect on the weather

[vital umbra]

you're a boragbgu

[tribal wedge]

I must have been having the worse luck then. It's been in-game days since I could see anything around lol

[placid abyss]

Does it change after you get a wisp? Was Moder in Mistlands?

[vocal rivet]

How would Moder be in Mistlands?

[placid abyss]

I was wondering this. So i shouldn't set a base there yet? Unless on the shore?

[placid abyss]

🤣 no clue

[vocal rivet]

Seems a strange thing to say.

[peak lark]

you downvoted fixing the bug where when you leave and join the game you lose rested buff

[idle storm]

probably not. Better expect anything you build there to be lost when the update comes.

[placid abyss]

Thats fair

[vital umbra]

because that would mean getting rid of that whole thing where leaving the game removes status effects and i use that cheese all the time 😎

[vocal rivet]

Probably because that's not a bug.

[vital umbra]

i actually can't believe how many people upvoted that....Ferrr shame!!

why is this not being brought up in #suggestion-discussion

[vocal rivet]

Also, we really shouldn't be calling people out for their votes in ⁠No Access.

[placid abyss]

Having mist everywhere all the time is a strange thing to occur. 🤗

[vocal rivet]

I imagine mods are involved.

[placid abyss]

I bet thats true.

[vital umbra]

@nocturne wolf you downvoted viking pokeballs...how daaare you 😡

[nocturne wolf]

Once I got pinged three times in a week for downvoting others’ suggestions. Why are opinions not allowed here

[keen cliff]

Modern humans have become weak

[vital umbra]

that is one of the dumbest assest suggestions i have seen in a long time....is there no quality control in #suggestions 🧐

[keen cliff]

The age of man is in decline.

[vital umbra]

i feel like....um....OBVIOUSLY we aren't getting fucking pokemon in valheim without mods....and yet someone still made that suggestion 😩

[vocal rivet]

Well, no, it's literally just people's suggestions. Unless it's clearly a troll suggestion, in which case they tend to get removed when a mod is made aware of them.

But, y'know, someone might have to actually report that to achieve it, rather than whining in a separate channel.

[vital umbra]

do u like the viking pokeballs suggestion derek.

[peak lark]

not a cheese i just dont like going home everytime i get off

[vital umbra]

campfire

[peak lark]

if you wanna cheese just use cheats bum

[vital umbra]

it is a cheese, it negates drowning, poison and fire, and all other shit effects.

[peak lark]

and\

[vital umbra]

yeah just use the fly command to summon all the bosses in the ocean and 'killall' and dance in the sky with the cheatsword in hand

[vocal rivet]

Of course not.

[peak lark]

fix that too if you wanna cheat you can no one else needs bugs

[vital umbra]

all while spawning 80000 dyrnwyns to flood the oceans, what fun gameplay.

[nocturne wolf]

It’s definitely not a bug. A bug would mean it’s not working as intended.
I would like to see it changed for 1.0 though

[vital umbra]

why does it have to be so black and white in the eyes of some people, i suppose my increased resource rate and reduced death penalties are straight up cheating too?

[nocturne wolf]

No, but bashing a cart into a Dvergr component crate is

[keen cliff]

Blob only says that because he loves murdering dvergr

and who cares what "cheating" is anyways in a single player game

do whatever you want

[teal matrix]

The cheatiest of cheats. Clearly.

[vital umbra]

me, cuz i'm a narcissist.

i will spawn in that last two wood i need for my build when i'm up on a roof at night time and annoyed, no more than that.

[vocal rivet]

Um, did you really mean narcissist?

[vital umbra]

apparently

[keen cliff]

i'm with Derek. What's with you being a narcissist have to do with caring about suppoed cheating?

[vital umbra]

I get it all the time so why not 🧡

because i wouldn't cheat ever because of that

if there are world modifiers and small cheeses here and there i don't consider it cheating

[vocal rivet]

Did you mean masochist? It's the only word I can think of that would make sense.

[vital umbra]

its working within the bounds of what is directly handed to me gameplay wise

nono if i was a masochist i would actually play on harder difficulties..

[keen cliff]

world modifiers are clearly not cheating, even if it mattered

spawning in items generally would be considered cheating, but again, who cares

[vital umbra]

its just that extra two wood, it doesn't at all drastically effect the actual exploration or combat / general progression.

[keen cliff]

cheesing, as the cheese in my name describes, is things like standing on the bonemass skull and smacking the boss with a staghammer from safety

right. it's cheating. it's just tiny cheating

you're a tiny cheater, is all.

a little baby cheater. how cute!

but again, it doesn't matter. play however you want, cheater

[vital umbra]

yes i mean narcissist literally, i believe that about myself and so do others, i embrace this ailment in an attempt to address it and deal with it.

[keen cliff]

i'm a cheater too. I rage quit and restored from backup twice in this run.

[vital umbra]

thats a warning for the future and apology for some people in regards to how i may have acted in the past here ☕

[tribal wedge]

Nop. I don't know where to get the Wisp or what it is yet lol

[teal matrix]

So glad I'm not the only one confused by the term narcissist in this scenario.

[shy marlin]

the time of the orc is now

[keen cliff]

it sure feels like it anyways

[vital umbra]

won't cheat so much of the time because it would hurt my pride, idk whats the big deal.

[teal matrix]

Lok-Narash

[vital umbra]

same thing for mods in a way even, purism.

[teal matrix]

Then in this context wouldn't that be a purist? Not a narcissist?

[vital umbra]

depends, not necessarily mutually exclusive.

[vocal rivet]

No, still not seeing any narcissm.

[vital umbra]

well whatever, this is just silly now.

[vocal rivet]

Always was.

[vital umbra]

my point and beliefs stands regardless 😊

[tepid prawn]

that's just an OH&S issue really

[glass parrot]

What’s the best weapon for Yagluth?

[plush umbra]

the silver sword, assuming all skills are equal

second place is shared by the black metal sword and frostner, which both have the same total damage against yagluth's resistances and function pretty similarly due to being a sword and a club.
the sword secondary technically slightly outdoes frostner in dps, but frostner costs less stamina since it's a biome older, very much up to preference.

[glass parrot]

Alright thanks

[west pulsar]

I'd say frostner just because its kinda good overall

[shy marlin]

silver sword is also just good overall

it really just comes down to preference

[west pulsar]

Silver sword is good af mountain gear is all solid weirdly

The silver sword works in the ashlands

[keen cliff]

sheesh. dyrnwyn fragments are a pita to get to

[lament briar]

I made a chandelier earlier. Aside from the shoddy sconce placement, I think I did well.

It's pretty huge.

[fallen zephyr]

Neat! That's a lot of resin lol

[lament briar]

Does Yagluth say anything meaningful when he arises? Sounds like he's saying 'Why king Majua"

Wait. Maybe a king named Majua killed him?

[wise night]

soo... i heard root armor chest its pretty much a must have for some things, im kinda new to the game and have killed a couple tree duds with the help of the fire pucking holes. have like 40 pieces i think. Debating between doing the whole set or only the chest and upgrade it as much as is possible. what do you recomend?

[shy marlin]

Set bonus is good, if you want to lean into the archer play style go for all the pieces

[placid abyss]

Im not sure what i missed but a narcissist is just a mean word for selfish.

[wise night]

decided then, whole set. always time to kill more tree dudes later anyway. ty!

[shy marlin]

Have fun!

[placid abyss]

Is it still foggy? And youre not getting smoked out by a chimney or snoop dog?

[lament briar]

Is Dyrnwyn worth it?

Tfw you get more fire damage from a torch.

[shy marlin]

It’s a cool thing to put on an armor stand.

Bout it.

[tiny tiger]

It’s a cool side quest that gives you a sword that’s on fire of course it’s worth it

[vital umbra]

.......It is a fine weapon, Contrary to peoples vitriol.

It works well against most creatures in the ashlands and of course it obliterates everything in the previous biomes and will probably do pretty good in the deep north, Its a badge of honor and an unique weapon compared to the rest of the ashlands ones.

[lament briar]

Damage over time weapons just aren't the best in this game

for melee, at least. When you're meleeing, you want to do damage now, because you're up in something's face.

[vital umbra]

its a fine weapon. Emphasis on the period .

sure it could be buffed but its special to me and it works.

[nocturne wolf]

Melee doesn’t have any good damage over time options anyway. Jotun bane has poison that doesn’t stack and fire weapons don’t have much fire damage.

[vital umbra]

also why can't i use the scythe on jotun puffs

[nocturne wolf]

Spirit weapons are good but only work on a few enemies

[kindred hare]

what am i loooking for in the mistlands. im kinda just hopping around. dont see anything i can do anything with yet

[merry pebble]

In that case Its good it has abyssmal dmg over time 😉

[vital umbra]

things 🧡

[tiny tiger]

Keep exploring and keep a lookout for wisplights

[nocturne wolf]

First you’ll need to make a black metal pickaxe with the new wood

[vital umbra]

i don't like getting spoiled so i wouldn't know what to say, with each biome you'll know something is useful when you see it.

[unborn nexus]

pickaxe

[kindred hare]

have that

[unborn nexus]

and look for the utterly disgusting infested mines or towers

[nocturne wolf]

The mine some black marble to make a cauldron improvement, and use new food to go through the dungeons

[unborn nexus]

the place will haunt your nightmares, but you need the stuff inside em

[vital umbra]

bruhh it makes me so sad to cut down yggdrasil trees...knowing i can't replenish them.

[kindred hare]

the mortar and pestle? cause i did go thru one of them. but didnt get anything i can use yet

[unborn nexus]

keep killin, keep lookin

[nocturne wolf]

You probably got unlucky, you need some black cores from those mines

[kindred hare]

rip

[unborn nexus]

yeah if you haven't noticed

some walls have a rune on them, click on it and it'll open a hidden room

[tiny tiger]

Sometime there are hidden rooms in the mines that you may not spot if you’ve never seen one

[kindred hare]

i found several. only 1 had some chests thats about it

[unborn nexus]

there are some wood walls or flesh you need to cut through otherwise

i rec the poison bombs you can make with ooze for the mines

easy Tick B Gone

[kindred hare]

the mine i went thru gave me the boss location. so that was nice

[vital umbra]

only reason i dont use bombs is cuz i want levels

[unborn nexus]

true

but sometimes life gives you funny 2 star seeker

[kindred hare]

oh cool theres a mine right by the boss

[unborn nexus]

mist turns you into a bug hater

[tiny tiger]

I was a bug hater long before mistlands lol (oh)

[nocturne wolf]

Why do you hate the bugs? (Seekers, not whatever bugs you hated before mistlands)

[tiny tiger]

Oh no I mean real bugs haha

Seekers are glorified flying greydwarfs lol

[kindred hare]

what u use for weapon. black iron tier

[tiny tiger]

frostner and black metal atgeir

sword also works well if you into that

[unborn nexus]

later you can make a lightning poker

[kindred hare]

ok i am useing the former 2

[unborn nexus]

which is not only cool as fuck, deals lightning + stun

[tiny tiger]

Can’t wait to be rocking ice and lightning

[kindred hare]

not doing too bad.
yea. lightnight would be nice tbh

[nocturne wolf]

• stun?

[tiny tiger]

Stagger?

[nocturne wolf]

Stagger dealt is physical + lightning damage. Stun/stagger is not a separate damage type

[tiny tiger]

maybe he meant stagger

[unborn nexus]

nerdemoji.png

[kindred hare]

how common is it to get a mine that doesnt have what i need. ive got 3 sealbreakers. but nothing else

[vital umbra]

too common usually

[kindred hare]

i keep finding the dvergr rogues. but no villiage

[tiny tiger]

Average of 2+ black cores per mine range from 0-??

[tacit crystal]

You mean electric bug swatter??

[vital umbra]

its crazy how even 1.5x resource rate some things feel sooo sparce

[wintry valve]

This game needs cheese

[snow flicker]

valheim needs more wildlife. gimme bears and cows and sheep and mountain goats 🙏

[tacit crystal]

There are ways to cheese situations.

Or do you mean literal cheese?

[wintry valve]

you know, made from milk

[tiny tiger]

I find 1x resource rate feels perfect for everything but building resources id like an individual slider for those

[vital umbra]

getting black marble kinda sucks

[tiny tiger]

Maybe deep north goats will be a thing for goat cheese

[wintry valve]

could be fun

[tiny tiger]

Fr best way to get black marble imo is taking down the structures

[wintry valve]

also looking for brains

[idle storm]

A single dvergr tower easily gives you half a dozen stacks of marble or more. And a ton of copper scrap on top of that.

[rare ice]

!commands

[merry pebble]

What commands do you need?😄

[rare ice]

I just thought and wanted to find out if there are commands like in the Raft discord. There were sone really helpful thinge i found out.
Just wanted to check if its the same here

[cosmic igloo]

ya as a dverg lover i only found out about this recently 😔 such a sad way to farm marble but u gotta do what u gotta do

[near furnace]

no. we use to have some, but we had to remove them 😦

[merry pebble]

Yeah, poor Dyno 😔

[near furnace]

and carl 😦

[gray sand]

!Smiffe

[merry pebble]

We need the ?DN or ?DeepNorth command 😄

[gray sand]

Nah. Just ?WhenUpdate

😉😁

[tepid prawn]

you mean !DN Response: The Deep North biome will be released alongside the 1.0 version of Valheim, ending early access. When? When its done of course, silly!

[vocal rivet]

Like that, but more polite.

[vital umbra]

The deep north will be released in the future

[tepid prawn]

Thats German politeness! 😛

[nocturne wolf]

It won’t want to be polite with people typing that command fifty times a day

[tacit crystal]

Polite German still sounds like shouting (especially when speaking German)

[tepid prawn]

fair enough 🙂

[vital umbra]

Willl...lowering my max FPS make my laptop less of a nuclear reactor about to melt down

[near furnace]

yes

[radiant pond]

i love valheim

hi everyone

[leaden elbow]

Since i removed inventory mods like quickslots to gain fps somehow and go back to vanilla, i wanna know the general consensus on what to keep in inventory at all times. Food? Which meads? I havent played full vanilla since early bronze age

[gray sand]

What biome are you up to?

[leaden elbow]

Plains, more or less done with it, just gotta find yagluth

[gray sand]

Then you don't have to carry food anymore.
Eat before you leave. Day length is 21 minutes, your food lasts 30.

Meads: Health Pot, Tasty.

[leaden elbow]

Hm, true. Though sometimes it can last a few days without being near a portal/way back

[leaden elbow]

What about fire resistance? Also should i farm barley for bread or is hunting leech better for blood pudding?

[gray sand]

There really is no "one slot fits all" setup, it all depends on what your plan for the day is.

Which is the real kicker that people ignore.
When you wake up, decide what that day is dedicated to doing. Take what you need to accomplish that specific thing.

[gray sand]

Why would you always need Fire Resistance?

[leaden elbow]

True. True.

[teal matrix]

Bread > blood pudding

[gray sand]

See previous.
If your day plan involves going somewhere you need Fire Resist - take 3 so you have 30 minutes of coverage and gain the slot back when you drink the last one.

Less stats and 5 minute less duration.
Bread not better than Pudding.

[leaden elbow]

Thats smart, actually. What if i take 2 of each food to have a backup if i run out? Exploration doesnt last over 60 minutes anyway (usually)

[teal matrix]

Nah, not better stat wise, but easier and you'll definitely want the barley for later on for pies.

[leaden elbow]

I got like a bajillion pies already

[teal matrix]

Not just lox pies

[gray sand]

Personally? Gross.
Take 1 extra after eating in the morning if you can't be back by sundown 🤷‍♂️ But do what works best for you.

[leaden elbow]

And like 500 spare barley.

[gray sand]

Yeah... cuz Barley is such a limited, rare resource....

[leaden elbow]

I mean id eat the first one so id end up with 1 extra round

[teal matrix]

Never to much barley. Scrooge McDuck it in my barley.

[gray sand]

If you're planning to be out for more than 40 minutes, then yeah, take 2 extras.
Like I said, the main part of inventory management is knowing what you plan to do and taking the stuff that goes with that task.

You don't need to carry your Hoe and Cultivator with you everywhere every day...

[teal matrix]

But what if your hoe is ride or die?

[gray sand]

No.

[cosmic igloo]

same

and i love black marble floor. so clean

[radiant pond]

i just put a black marble build in #building-screenshots

[cosmic igloo]

dayum nice, looks like an upgraded ashlands fortress but in mountains

i like the pyraminds on the wall that make the fort look all spikey

[radiant pond]

thanks mate it took ages haha

[jagged cliff]

I hate that bastard, the game was easy until that boss fight😭

[nocturne wolf]

If you bring a sword, barley wine and a black metal shield/tower shield he’s not an issue.

[jagged cliff]

That’s actually good to know, I’m comin up on him soon in my solo world

[teal matrix]

Silver sword specifically will eat him alive.

Or unalive? Idk

[jagged cliff]

It just eats him, how about that?

[nocturne wolf]

Either way, it eats him

[teal matrix]

Regardless, dig your gelatinous cube frame btw.

[jagged cliff]

Haha, thanks. They suck to fight tho, my dnd character got crit by one and almost died😭

I poked it with my sword and it told me to go screw myself😑

[supple holly]

@nocturne wolf it's already dead indeed, but you want it to stay dead.. Or something like that 😉

[nocturne wolf]

We need to shatter his bones

[teal matrix]

Im well aware, my favorite trap to mess with my players is have them go down a "dead end" hallway than drop a cube in the entrance.

😂

[solid knoll]

Is there any way to share someone’s world on Xbox, is that a thing yet?

I need

[lusty dirge]

Dedicated servers. Can easily be self-hosted and also help with performance (as long as the connection is fast and stable enough)

[nocturne wolf]

An xbox can’t host a dedicated server

[lusty dirge]

But it can play on one

[jagged cliff]

Oh my…that sounds hilarious😂😂

[merry pebble]

Well, fulings already did half the job for us while making totems 😄

[nocturne wolf]

So that’s where his legs went

[teal matrix]

The ensuing panic is, but i rarely let it kill them

Either a hidden door or Trapdoor saves them

[jagged cliff]

You are a lot more generous than my dm

[teal matrix]

I do my best to avoid tpks

Now people doing something stupid? Then they stuck with their fate

[jagged cliff]

Fair😂

[kindred hare]

ive done 6 mines in mistlands. nothin i need. breh.

[nocturne wolf]

No black cores?

[kindred hare]

None

Only found 2 of the things for the sap tap in 2 villages.

I have 5 of the key pieces or whatever. The fragments from the mines. Idk how many I need I didn’t look at the boss door too closely

[cosmic igloo]

holyt fuck 1928 dmg hit from staff of the wild vine on a blob

2083 hit

[indigo beacon]

is it "cheating" if i play with world modifiers? im using no raids and no death penalty and everything else is normal

[kindred hare]

nah. im literally flying around mistlands in debug mode cause i cant be arsed to find any more caves that wont give me what i need

[nocturne wolf]

Why would they add world modifiers if it's cheating?

[gray sand]

It's a single-player game, who cares if you cheat?

[kindred hare]

I NEED 5 BLACK CORES. WTF

15 TOTAL. GAHH

3 seal breaker fragments from 1 mine. gee so nice

yippee. 2 more mines. 0 cores

[mystic skiff]

ugh, i'm with ya there

[kindred hare]

wait. tf. the cores look like torches? i cant break them and i look and i dont get an prompt to hit E. am i just an idiot

[mystic skiff]

oh no
so you're heading back through the mines now

[kindred hare]

im gonna go look.

so. i dont get a prompt. but hitting E picks it up. thats goofy. ive seen loads of these

i cant get the coil piles to break either. thought they were decrotive but the wiki says not

not that i need more

[mystic skiff]

How are you going about explorin the mistands? Jumping around or going slow

[keen cliff]

imo, you should go slow in the begining. jumping around and running like crazy is only when you have great gear

[mystic skiff]

can anyone explain to me why I got 4 seekers jump me, lock me into a corner and kill me?

i'm struggling to understand how that's fair.

I had 200 HP and max armour, along with block

like.. a tower shield, i'm outside, i didn't even hear them

it's day time, i've done everything right

[azure yacht]

Because that's how enemies work, when they see you, they try to kill you

[mystic skiff]

great game design.

[nocturne wolf]

If they lock you into a corner, jump over them. Seekers have short collision and their tallest attack reaches 2m up

[azure yacht]

What?

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim is a very well designed game

[mystic skiff]

I managed to jump twice before I was dead.

[nocturne wolf]

Was your tower shield not able to push them away? That's their entire purpose

[azure yacht]

I know it was sarcastic. What I don't understand is the purpose of it.

In 99.99% of games with combat hostiles will try to kill you... that's literally their point

[mystic skiff]

yeah i was kinda thinkin the same thing, it should indeed

So now I have to add more things to my list like.. Don't be near a wall

[atomic ingot]

mistlands is brutal. I am loving the biome, but the mats / processes are all very new to me

[mystic skiff]

Just be prepared to die alot, no matter what you do

[merry pebble]

In Mistlands not necessarily If you are carefull. 🙂 In Ashlands? Absolutely 😄

[keen cliff]

i think i died twice in mistlands. wasn't bad. same for ashlands so far

[austere rapids]

In your message, you mentioned dying twice in the Mistlands and not finding it too bad, as well as a similar experience in the Ashlands. Considering the challenging biomes in Valheim, how did you prepare for these encounters, and what strategies or gear did you rely on to navigate these treacherous areas? Were there specific enemies or environmental hazards that posed a significant challenge during your exploration, and how did you adapt to them? Additionally, since the Mistlands and Ashlands are known for their unique aesthetics and resources, did you find the risk of exploring these biomes worth the reward in terms of loot, progression, or overall gameplay experience? Finally, do you think your survival experience reflects a balance in the game's difficulty curve, or would you suggest any changes to make these biomes more or less forgiving for players seeking a challenging yet rewarding adventure?

[plush umbra]

i swear to god wind is ALWAYS against you no matter what

[merry pebble]

It can certainly feel that way sometimes 🙂

[cosmic summit]

Can two handed axes be used to chop trees?

[idle storm]

Wind direction is pre-determined. You can literally look up which way itll blow in advance

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄

[cosmic summit]

I'm thinking of making an iron battle axe and hanging it on an item rack near the forest i plant outside my gates

I have scythes and cultivators hung up at each of my gardens so I don't have to carry them around

[atomic ingot]

yea I am playing with a buddy and mistlands is kicking our butts. we have finally learned to have redundancies in place by kind of leap frogging portals.

we had to look up how to progress though and now we are both overwhelmed with the steps required to farm everything up

[tiny pebble]

What’s you guys’ opinion on the knife/dagger weapon class

[merry pebble]

They are great 🙂

[tiny pebble]

Yes I agree they are pretty good

Not my preferred weapon, but a solid one

[merry pebble]

Yep, same 🙂

[versed solar]

if i discover my new world completely and then deep north comes out after few months will i be able to play it or start a new world?

[undone wadi]

is anyone starting a new seed as i havent played in like a year or so and would wanna start a new one..

[merry pebble]

If you have generated it already then no, you will need a new world

[versed solar]

what if i dont go to northern part before it comes it?

[tiny pebble]

What if you haven’t explored completely?

[merry pebble]

Then you would have generated it...

[versed solar]

and how much north are we talking like at the apex of the world map?

[merry pebble]

Probably depends on how much you explore, ashalnds explored only a bit before their update were still playable in most cases

[tiny pebble]

Like the ashlands arc on bottom of the map but at the top

[merry pebble]

Look at random seed in world generator 🙂

[versed solar]

ok

and is deep north 1.0 update?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[merry pebble]

The deep north seems to have more land 🙂 (so far at least, may change when its released)

[mystic skiff]

I just don't get the mistlands

by the time I can build anything, i've already mined everything

[merry pebble]

Look into dvergr towers 😉

[hardy ermine]

Hello players of the top 5 game of all time

[idle storm]

You only need the black forge for some weapons, the rest is pre mistland mats

Daggers, 2h sword and arbalest iirc

[mystic skiff]

Yeah but 1 core in 4 mines.

It just doesn't flow

[idle storm]

Thats just bad rng luck

Ive had as many as 11 per mine

Or you havent found the secret doors

[hardy ermine]

I haven't played Valheim in so long actually

[mystic skiff]

Secret doors have white symbols and you can interact

[hardy ermine]

i don't even have anyone to play with lmao

[mystic skiff]

found 1

[merry pebble]

I once didnt find any cores in like 8 mines 😄 it will get better dont worry

[mystic skiff]

I just can't be bothered.

[idle storm]

One of the drawbacks of a procedurally generated world 😂

[merry pebble]

Well its solo game first 😄 so that is not entirely an issue

[keen cliff]

so for new biomes, i either have level 3 or 4 quality gear. Pretty sure for Mistlands I was level 4 padded. i think i was using frostner and shield mostly, with iron sledge at start. best food i could, 2H 1S. i used poison bombs a bunch in infested mines. I always take it super super slow, and probably over do it with portals. I always take advantage of weapons that attack through doors/walls, as well as situtations where mobs can't reach me. Gjalls scared the crap out of me at first, so i was extra careful there, and always fire resist mead. I never attack dverger bros, making sure i can fall back to them for extra help if needed. In Ashlands, I transitioned to magic gear and felt that made my initial landing and establishing initial portals easier. The rewards are great, and well worth it. Ashlands is an obvious difficulty spike, but i didn't get there until it was nerfed. It still felt like it was a notch harder, but for me it was grindy at times than hard. My initial progress felt slow. Oh, i also spoil myself. I respect those who go into new biomes blind, but I don't.

[mystic skiff]

I mean surely the devs can code 1 in per mine.. to guard against bad rng

[idle storm]

But the added replay value is worth it imo

[hardy ermine]

but it's not that fun solo

[merry pebble]

Really depends on individuals taste 🙂

[idle storm]

I prefer solo. Mp just means i have to wait for people and have them steal my iron 😁

[keen cliff]

i only play solo, and have tons of fun. Other players would drive me crazy. Not to mention i need to pause for real life

[austere rapids]

Take it slow is what I'm getting from this, I could learn a thing or two, thanks!

[keen cliff]

even with max ashlands gear, i'm taking it super cautious as i get dyrnwyn shards in new areas

[idle storm]

Maxed frostner and decent parry skills make mistlands a cakewalk

[austere rapids]

SPOILERS

[idle storm]

And ooze bombs of course

[keen cliff]

my bad!

[austere rapids]

You're good!

[keen cliff]

ooze bombs in mines were great

[idle storm]

Theyre good outside too

[keen cliff]

yeah, i saved them for mines only in my run

i didn't feel i had enough bombs to use them everywhere

[merry pebble]

That reminds me i have to go farm some more ooze xD

[idle storm]

I go through about 1 stack per mine

[hardy ermine]

Well yeah that's true but still, friends can = more fun

[idle storm]

But i also go on nightwalks in the swamp to level blood magic so i tend to have a good supply

[merry pebble]

I dont think anyone is arguing with that 😄 (tho the key word is "can" 😉 )

[keen cliff]

for me, go slow is how i play. in plains, when i first got there, I built earthen platforms to take out villages.

[foggy glacier]

same

[tiny tiger]

I like to spend alot of time in black Forest mountains and plains, meadows and swamp i usually rush through with the bare minimum i need to beat the boss

[keen cliff]

this run i had to spend a lot of time in the Swamps. I struggled to find any crypts

[tepid prawn]

I like to spend a lot of time in Meadows & Swamp and Mist/Ashlands 🙂

[tiny tiger]

Mistlands my plan is always to rush feather cape then take my time with it and Ashland’s haven’t been yet

[tiny tiger]

That is unfortunate

[idle storm]

Going slow is the way for your first playthrough. After you know what you're doing fenris & rat mead is where it's at though.

[keen cliff]

yeah i was annoyed as all hell. 🙂 I think i sailed to and explored 5 different swamps before i found enough crypts

i was sick to death of the swamps. ironically, i found the most crypts /finally/ when I said "screw it, let me go drop a portal at bonemass over in that unexplored area", and it turned out to be the crypt motherload

[tiny tiger]

It’s always worth it once you find the swamp with 10 crypts lol

First playthrough is for making mistakes and learning the basic mechanics, further play through are for refining your knowledge and streamlining the aspects you found tedious

Something I like about the swamps is you are able to skip the boss for the purpose of getting some mountain tier loot due to frost resistance mead as the boss drop isn’t necessary when you have the game knowledge to locate silver without it

You only need enough iron then for the pickaxe and ideally at least a longship too as long as you play it very careful with troll armor or have maxed bronze armor

[idle storm]

If you craft a l3 banded shield too you can block any non-starred enemy the mountain throws at you in l3 root armor (with 2 swamp-tier hp food) so you don't need to be THAT careful.
Avoid taking unblocked hits obviously, but you should do that anyway.

also you'll want enough iron for crafting station upgrades at least

[tiny tiger]

Ah I forgot about those yeah that too

[queen viper]

started the ultra hardcore challenge wml

[shy marlin]

gl may odin bless u

[teal breach]

Hey guys, can anyone help me with the Quick stack mod?

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-issues could get better answers

[teal breach]

ty

[spare lava]

is it always raining in the swamp?

[cosmic summit]

Can carts go through portals?

[cosmic summit]

Yes

[spare lava]

is it worth building a base in the swamp at all? Granted I have a black forest one too

[keen cliff]

up to you, but i think most people just ship iron ore back to a different base to process

[spare lava]

gotcha Im not even at iron but close iron comes from swamp?

[keen cliff]

i've only made little treehouse bases in the swamps, on the invulnerable trees

[cosmic summit]

I built a tiny house in my bonemass swamp. But for an actual base I made an outpost with forges in some meadows near a swamp

[spare lava]

thats what i was thinking

what biome are your main bases in

[shy marlin]

plains

[keen cliff]

for most of my game, my main base with in the meadows, near the ocean. end game, i found a plains island with yagluth altar that i entirely spawn proofed, and put a new base there

[nocturne wolf]

Moving to plains midway through the game is very common

[cosmic summit]

I wish they gave us gingerbread build pieces around Christmas time

[spare lava]

like bronze going to iron time?

[nocturne wolf]

No. Plains is the fifth biome.

[cosmic summit]

I would think y9ud move to plains when you're at plains level. Bronze gear in plains will get 1shot

[spare lava]

what sort of is plains gear I just dont know that much I have al lbronze gear and weapons + tools thats it nothign iron

[nocturne wolf]

You should have silver before going to plains
And kill the fourth boss

[spare lava]

yeah I dont even know where to get silver

[nocturne wolf]

Just keep progressing and you’ll get there eventually

[cosmic summit]

Meadow>dark forest>swamp>mountain>plains

[spare lava]

gotcha

so after dark forest with bronze is swamp which has iron?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. Killing the elder gets you a swamp key

[cosmic summit]

Ya. But if you don't feel like mining a ton you can skip bronze armor and just make the troll hide stuff + bronze weapons

[spare lava]

yea yea I heard that

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor is better than bronze armor. -6 defence for 10% more movespeed is worth it

[cosmic summit]

You'll need to sail somewhere to find a swamp. They're very unlikely to show up on the starter island

[spare lava]

Yeah I sailed I have a karve so at a forest thats next to a swamp rn

[nocturne wolf]

Have you killed the elder yet?

[spare lava]

wait whats the first bosses name I think I have that or maybe elder idk I activate it and I like jump up sorta and a red burst comes out which is that?

[nocturne wolf]

The elder is the boss of the black forest biome.

[cosmic summit]

I'm at plains level right now. I'd like to find a dark forest with plains on one side and mistlands on the other, then build a cozy cabin to live out of for my new base

[nocturne wolf]

So you shouldn’t go into swamps until you’ve killed him

[cosmic summit]

I think there's a glitch using a chair to get into crypts without the key.

Unless thst got patched

[spare lava]

I saw that

[nocturne wolf]

It’s best not to skip progression in your first playthrough. You may find yourself somewhere you aren’t prepared for

[cosmic summit]

Good point

Elder is a fun fight anyway. Just don't do what I did and start the fight right at sunset haha

[indigo beacon]

i had the worst luck with the elder in my last world. the fight was alot of fun but i have like so many 2 star greydwarves coming at me and the trees that fell down were blocking my path

[tepid prawn]

if you get loads of greydwarves just bring a level 3 stagbreaker

[feral parrot]

Did they remove copper nodes from being exploded if they’re floating? I dug all around and they’re not breaking…

[hidden gorge]

the collision boxes on copper are notoriously poor -- you have to dig a significant distance around the visible copper to ensure its clear of the terrain

[tepid prawn]

still works, but imagine it being square boxes that contain odd shaped parts of the ore deposit, if its not collapsing just dig more around where its closest to another object, it can be very tiresome to make it try to collapse and try to find where its still connected

[crude sparrow]

guys. I can't find silver with Wishbone, whats happening?

[unborn nexus]

You can make a refinery base but a general base? Don't think so

A checkpoint base with some neccesities is nice regardless of biome

[tough carbon]

Some Mountains biomes are too small to have silver veins in them. How many Mountains have you tried?

[crude sparrow]

two, but they were small

Should I try mountains with howling caverns marked?

[unborn nexus]

Yes

[kindred hare]

does stone get damaged by the eiter refiner

[hidden gorge]

yes

[kindred hare]

how can i make something that wont get destroyed

[hidden gorge]

black marble or terrain doesn't (iron too but that's a waste of iron imo)

[kindred hare]

ok thx

[plush umbra]

dvergr metal walls (copper) also work

[spare lava]

yo is the elder key an item cuz I may have mis placed it in moving bases but I did kill the elder so that means I should be alright for swamp

[tiny pebble]

Elder drops it as an item yes

[kindred hare]

ok, so now with the eiter i got lotta options. i am inclined to go with just basic slash sword and shield (krom and carapace buckler) and himminafl for 2 hand peirce.

but i also got hammer, the knife and shotel, and the mistwalker.

and idk if those are any better. peirce was good for the bugs. idk what mother is weak to. idk what comes after mother either

oh. and arbelest for ranged. the bow just doesnt seem worth it. unless bow shoots 3x faster than arb

plus, all the magic options now too

[wary shore]

aha, but you forgot the fact that nothing could compare to the glorious beauty of your bronze armor as it shines in the sunlight while it hugs your head and torso and makes you feel like a great warrior of old

[vital umbra]

bronze armour is the based option, troll armour is the viable option.

[wary shore]

genuine question, I've done a playthrough of valheim already and when I tried to fight the elder he did a lot of damage and I was unable to get in close (I had full bronze armor almost fully upgraded if not all the way) so i had to just rely on running away while shooting fire arrows. I didnt find it that fun? Is there a strategy to get in close? Am I just bad?

[vital umbra]

probably all of the above, you can parry his stomp attack or just dodge it easier than other boss attacks i think

[fickle urchin]

helo norsefolks

[vital umbra]

i try not to be all like "git gud" but at the basis of everything that seems to ring true....learn to parry better, learn enemies patterns, learn to dodge better, you can get to feel untouchable....these days i don't do any of that with greydwarves i just walk around them...

[cosmic summit]

Dodge, parry, throw spears

[fickle urchin]

is building with no building cost counts as cheating?

[vital umbra]

halfway

[fickle urchin]

im not doing this for crafting stations though and interior

just the whole structure

[wary shore]

im good at parrying but i suck at dodging, do I have a chance

[vital umbra]

its kinda cheating because it means you spend less time on the intended grind, but its less so when you're not forcing yourself through progression.

[wary shore]

ok i will try it again 👍

[cosmic summit]

Sure, why not.
Just keep strafing

[fickle urchin]

i rarely parry because i have performance issue

i play this forsaken game on my x230 thinkpad

[wary shore]

i think i fought the elder before i knew about the parry mechanic

[vital umbra]

how about dodge

[wary shore]

gigachad tbh

[fickle urchin]

yeah but i need to keep the graphic low

[wary shore]

i knew about dodging but i sucked at it im probably better at it now since i'm able to survive in the ashlands these days pretty well

[fickle urchin]

or my laptop is going cook itself

[wary shore]

and I don't even need to resort to magic

definitely will be doing magic next run though, in my first run i was a gigachad and only made heavy armor

[fickle urchin]

yeah magic is close end game though

[wary shore]

true but i will prepare for it

i feel like with my current knowledge I could get through the earlier biomes fairly easily

[vital umbra]

oh man wtf you doing asking for help if you can survive in the ashlands, shameful. (kidding)

there's literally people that quit the game and shit-talked the devs because of the ashlands so you're on a good enough path already.

[fickle urchin]

or i can cheat my way with some wierd tecnique and luck

[wary shore]

well you play how you wanna play I guess. I do wanna make resources drop at 2x to spend less time farming and collecting stone so I can build my grand fortress

[fickle urchin]

the only thing that stop you from obtaining magic is post moder resource and the mist

[fickle urchin]

i think there should be option for recipes to cost less

[wary shore]

that's crazy. I will admit that the ashlands is hard but as long as you think and maybe even do a little research like me you can figure out ways to succeed

[fickle urchin]

droping more item makes me lag

[wary shore]

tbh i mostly just want more stone and iron so i can build more stuff that's big. But I aslo wanna make every item in the game like all the armors and have a beautiful armory so I gotta have like 200 longships worth of iron

[vital umbra]

if you don't have an abyssmal skill issue then theres this thing called "getting good" and that happens in the ashlands 🤯

people do be bugging me sometimes.

[wary shore]

that's true you can gain all the necessary knowledge from just experience from playing the game

[fickle urchin]

yeah one iron mace cost alot of iron to upgrade

i wonder where the rest of it go?

[wary shore]

im not gonna lie tho i may have used cheats to get my stuff back a few times from the ashlands

[foggy glacier]

lol, everything needs iron.

[vital umbra]

I'm so bad i like...get annoyed at new players...."hey guys what do i do now" --- has been in the meadows for like fucking 30 minutes

play the game 🥰

[fickle urchin]

i just want my equipment back

[wary shore]

that was me when i first played valheim until my irl friends showed me what to do. Now valheim is my favorite game.

[foggy glacier]

Talk to the raven! and do what he says!

[wary shore]

yeah me too, I understand needing to go back for my items but I refuse to accept losing them forever, not with the effort i went through to get it

[fickle urchin]

i don't talk to huggin anymore
talk too much

[vital umbra]

Well from my perspective, Noone got me into valheim, I never saw any videos, I had no idea of the discord or the reddit, My friends thought it was stupid, And i learned and played through the whole game on my own....so when i see people asking for handholding i get a little....😒

[fickle urchin]

i can tolerate loosing resource but not equipment

[foggy glacier]

Me either. I especially don't talk to him about any dungeons or giant remains. I love using that little 'poof' to let me know I'm near something useful.

[vital umbra]

I only avoided talking to him in the hottub so he wouldn't.....aaanyways.

[fickle urchin]

i play the game out of curiousity

[fickle urchin]

why is he on the hottub?

[wary shore]

based, you are truly a warrior of odin. By the way do you kill all the dvergr you see or are you mostly peaceful with them?

[vital umbra]

My first playthrough in the mistlands i roleplayed as a bloodthirsty conqueror...aaand i never ever want to replicate that again, shamelessly cart cheesing the wards.

[fickle urchin]

well i don't kill dvergr because they would kill fast

oh and i steal their house after a gjall kill all of them

[wary shore]

Well at first I was peaceful with them (cuz i like them and they are intimidating despite their stature) but now that I found out that they drop soft tissue i[m going to kill all of them and use their brains for magic armor and use their black marble towers to build a star fortress

[vital umbra]

i think the turning point was that my very first portal to the mistlands had this female dvergr rogue that was just always there on this cliff next to the portal and i grew feelings for her 😔...then i return one day to see soft tissue on the ground, and i went and killed everything in a kilometer radius and never touched a dvergr again.

[wary shore]

not in my first world my first world can be a preserve 😇

[fickle urchin]

for me not enouth soft tissue

not worth dying for it

[vital umbra]

she was my bae for maybe 300 days in-game

[wary shore]

i didnt know portals existed until my friend told me they do and i got stuck on the swamp because of a 2 star draugr archer and i already sailed all my boats there and i always forgot to sleep in the beds I put up there

[fickle urchin]

imagine if they add reputation system

[wary shore]

i was such a fool

[vital umbra]

i missed those greetings, every day multiple times a day seeing her.

[fickle urchin]

and you have bad relation with the dwarves

[wary shore]

damn bro saddest shit i've ever read

not even being sarcastic i lowkey get you. That's how I felt about seeing Dvergr in the ashlands

even entire groups of them would not last in the ashlands for more than like 5 minutes, and even the structures they were hiding in would not last

poor bastards

i couldn't even same them if i wanted to, too many creatures would swarm them regardless

[vital umbra]

yeahhh....flametal was so much more abundant and easy to find than soft tissue i had like no intention of raiding them at all.

[fickle urchin]

what is a morgan?

[wary shore]

so you just skip the mistlands magic armor and wait for the ashlands magic armor?

[vital umbra]

wdym, have you seen one?

[fickle urchin]

i see one i just don't know what are they

[vital umbra]

no i spent like 200 hours scouring the entire left 30% of the map for skulls.

[wary shore]

it is a creature in the ashlands that basically serves like that biome's troll. They are quite terrifying creatures and they will greet you on the beach where you land

[fickle urchin]

is it a living being or an undead?

[wary shore]

yeah i wish skulls generated slightly more commonly they are quite sparse at times

[vital umbra]

I don't know if it was literally 200 hours but FUUUUUCKKK it felt like it....i hated the mistlands after that.

that burnt me out for months

[wary shore]

i think it's undead, like the charred and vultures and valkyries

[fickle urchin]

and somehow askvin is not

[kindred hare]

can u use an balista a boss area?
kinda dont see the reason for one cause like. i dont hardly ever get attacked

[fickle urchin]

but i don't think vultures are undead?
like they can reproduce

[wary shore]

well the asksvin is just a normal creature, a biological creature evolved to survive in hell

[wary shore]

yeah you can build in a boss arena. Im pretty sure the balistas attack bosses, but i might be wrong cuz i've never tried it

[kindred hare]

cant tell if its worth it yknow

[wary shore]

yeah idk why they are undead, but when i hit them with my mjolnir they get the extra green flames

[fickle urchin]

funny enough i rember werewolf does the same

[kindred hare]

oh they are automatic? thought youd like, mount it yknow. seems worth it then

[wary shore]

actually now im not sure if morgen is undead, but it is made out of bones and meaty internal organs so surely i can assume that it is

[vital umbra]

silver does not in media do good against ""undead"" specifically....the witcher, you use steel for men and silver for monsters, silver bullets for werewolves and that whole thing?

[wary shore]

yeah werewolves and even the cultists but I just interpret that as them having the "dark magic that animates the undead" or smthn

[fickle urchin]

remind me if of some bugs or crystacean covering themself with radom object

[wary shore]

Leviathians ? the stuff you mine for chitin?

[vital umbra]

skyrim silver weapons also does more damage to werewolves

[wary shore]

oh you mean the irl assassin bug, I'm stupid 🤦‍♂️

[fickle urchin]

or spirit damage effect magica being

[wary shore]

eh it's close enough

[fickle urchin]

yeah they cover themself from in bug carcasses

[wary shore]

come on VALHEIM DEVS, when are you adding that to the seeker's ai! (jk)

[vital umbra]

i mean is there any in-game example of a "monster" that isn't just an animal, that doesn't take spirit damage 🤔

[wary shore]

something unnatural that you would not expect to see

[fickle urchin]

speaking of seakers
what does a seeker taste like?

[wary shore]

well i've never tried insects, but i have tried lobster and crab and they are basically ocean bugs so they're probably not too far off

i dont think i would eat a bug even if it was meat from a big one, but i am a hypocrite because i do love shrimp and stuff

[fickle urchin]

because big bugs taste a bit different from small one

[wary shore]

valheim makes it look good though, not gonna lie

[vital umbra]

trolls are basically animals they don't take spirit damage, leeches too, serpents i'm pretty sure, normal wolves, drakes, lox, fulings are sorta people, deathsquitos, seekers are bugs, gjall are some kinda beasts, askvin are animals....are these not pretty much all the creatures immune to spirit? missing a couple i'm sure

[wary shore]

i would not know the difference I am not eating ze bugs anytime soon

[wary shore]

leeches do take spirit damage

[vital umbra]

thats not good

[wary shore]

for some reason, they are a normal creature though irl

[fickle urchin]

because they in the faction
"undead"

[wary shore]

i wish i could tame leeches and breed them so I could farm bloodbags

[vital umbra]

i...

[wary shore]

yes but in real life leeches aren't undead creatures they are just animals

literally just worms

[fickle urchin]

wait i just remember morgen are not effected by spirit damage

[vital umbra]

There are issues....bats are weak to spirit, eikthyr takes spirit damage, so do roots, but everything else is immune.

[fickle urchin]

or am i forgot to bring frostner

[wary shore]

yeah they aren't now that I think about it. They are only weak to lightning damage

[vital umbra]

they take spirit damage, they're just not weak to it

[fickle urchin]

yeah

[wary shore]

i dont remember ever seeing a morgen burst into huge green flames from my mjolnir so i think i was wrong

[fickle urchin]

but i still hate them from breaking my ash-homestate

[wary shore]

yeah morgens are terrifying and annoying

[fickle urchin]

is ashland like the capital city?

[vital umbra]

of what

[fickle urchin]

the realm

[wary shore]

ahslands was not the capital of valheim. Every biome had its own "kingdoms" in a sense, or at least some of them did

[vital umbra]

i don't remember the fulings being subservient to them.

powerful doesn't make them immediately the boss

[fickle urchin]

no like they are the most urbanize area

[wary shore]

they were not. The goblins had the plains, the humans (before they became draugr) had the swamps (if they were even swamps at that point, i assume not) and the ashlands had what I assume used to be humans

[wary shore]

they probably were as urban as the pre-draugr human civilizations but i wouldn't call the goblins urbanized since all their buildings are made out of sticks and hides, unlike in the swamp and blackforest and meadows where you can find wooden towns and even some stone ruins

but the structures in the ashlands are much bigger and grander, and i think more common, so they probably were the most urbanized part of the realm because of their once benevolent king fader who created a prosperous realm

and i doubt the deep north will be urbanized af, even if there are a few specks of civilization.

[fickle urchin]

imagine having an animal as your king

[wary shore]

to be fair it is sentient, intelligent, and has superpowers

and can speak english / norse

[fickle urchin]

and burn every thing

[wary shore]

hey bro nobody's perfect okay? That's just proof that you must never trust a child

[shy marlin]

fader only turned evil because of the winter child so

[fickle urchin]

that's his mistake

[wary shore]

plot twist: the winter child was odin trolling the whole time

(I doubt this is what the real lore will be lol)

[shy marlin]

absolute cinema moment

[fickle urchin]

before he became a devored dad of many

[wary shore]

I hope that's not the real lore they'll come up with but I doubt it will be , i trust them they can cook

[fickle urchin]

i don't understand the lore that much so

[wary shore]

basically valheim is purgatory and odin sent you there because there are enemies there he wants defeated

[fickle urchin]

why though?
just cut the tree it's easy

(jk)

[wary shore]

its the secret 10th world not mentioned in norse mythology that was cut off from yggdrasil (the world tree) and left to float in the void as a prison for his enemies but his enemies grew stronger despite their isolation

[wary shore]

funny you mentioned that cuz odin kinda did do that lmao

[fickle urchin]

but how many times?

[wary shore]

but as far as odin is concerned, it wasn't enough. So now he must rely on importaning midguardians (humans / us) to do his work because the humans that used to exist in the realm tried to declare war on the gods and they got turned into zombies as punishment

[wary shore]

idk bro valheim is literally just floating void in the vicinity of the tree, although there are yggdrasil roots in the mistlands so maybe he didnt do it enough

[fickle urchin]

he forgot to prune the tree

[wary shore]

how far have you gotten in valheim, just out of curiosity

[fickle urchin]

plains

[wary shore]

oooh

[fickle urchin]

still finding yagluth

[wary shore]

yeah yagluth is a bitch to find, I had to go quite far and just got lucky he was near the coast

[fickle urchin]

although i can see the tree from the mistland next door

[wary shore]

most annoying boss to find by far, I think

besides maybe the queen who is the next boss

[fickle urchin]

but my favorite boss

[wary shore]

he is the most badass boss, he summons meteors and shoots lasers

and he's skin-skeleton missing his legs

[fickle urchin]

*vomit lasers

[wary shore]

he is metal as hell

[fickle urchin]

but summoning him is also a bitch

sometimes they have sometimes they don't

[wary shore]

yeah that's also another reason I want my next run to be in 2x resource drops, so I can summon him less painfully and still have some totems left over for decoration

i wanna show off my swag I looted off the dead bodies of my enemies like a true viking

[fickle urchin]

well i have all the totems needed but not the altar for it

[vital umbra]

fader > yagluth > eikthyr > moder > bonemass > elder > queen

[wary shore]

i never fought fader cuz i was busy at the time and im gonna save it for my next run

fader seems hard but i havent watched too much on it (just a little bit) cuz i wanna experience it relatively fresh

[fickle urchin]

im still busy sailing around

[wary shore]

I fucking hate the moder fight, shit was so annoying I had to repair my bow like 5 times cuz she landed way too far for me to catch up in my heavy ahh armor

and this was before i discovered portals so I had to sail back and forth 😩

[fickle urchin]

for it's because the terrain

[vital umbra]

i just...didn't get that experience, she landed so close to me i just beat the shit out of her with her awful melee AI.

but shes my waifu so she is better than bonemass

[fickle urchin]

your what?

[vital umbra]

huh, hi, nice day.

[wary shore]

the rebound from the dvergr woman

[fickle urchin]

single dragon mom near you area?

i like them

[vital umbra]

yeahh...

[fickle urchin]

funny little guys

[wary shore]

the regular wyverns are annoying as shit but not as bad as the golem

[vital umbra]

moders cute and her theme is a banger, everything else kinda sucks, but those first two make her better than the bosses i ranked lower.

[wary shore]

true her music is good and she turns the sky a beautiful color. Most aesthetic fight besides fader

[fickle urchin]

fader makes everything green

i don't like looking at it
hurting my eyes

[wary shore]

skill issue, just get green eyes (i dont have green eyes)

[wary shore]

in real life

[fickle urchin]

skeletons are cool

you can't

[wary shore]

wow it doesnt embed it's the meme of the skeleton falling over

[fickle urchin]

i was bad to them

[wary shore]

who

[fickle urchin]

let's just say i was bad to the bones

[wary shore]

to the skeletons?

[fickle urchin]

ok i'll be back drawing moder

[wary shore]

regular moder or waifu version

[fickle urchin]

and im not a fox

[vital umbra]

is someone talking about my girl...

[fickle urchin]

a girl?
a century old dragon?

[vital umbra]

yeah

[wary shore]

well officer she's actually a thousand years old

[fickle urchin]

and have alot of kids

like alot of them

[vital umbra]

i love them purple mistlands at night

so i am sorting like crafting stations and storage and equipment by "guilds" in a base of sorts....but like...where would bone piles go?...mages guild?

[kindred hare]

does queen not spawn by herself anymore for the first time? wiki says it does, but i dont see her

[wispy path]

should have

if you're in a single player world, you can spawn her in

[vital umbra]

day 300....wee

[merry pebble]

She should, try to go to the top of the dungeon

[kindred hare]

she didnt.

shes also passivley healing super fast. is that normal. cause i dont see how ill be able to out damage that

[merry pebble]

All mobs and bosses regenerates full HP over an hour

[kindred hare]

i can literally watch her bar fill as i fight the seekers around her

[vital umbra]

@merry pebble input, help.

[merry pebble]

Can't really help you there, i go usually by material types for storage and bone fragments especialy get their own chest since there are always so many of them 😅 but if anything then maybe mage? I could connect them in my head to the dead raiser or maybe the shield since you need them as fuel

[vital umbra]

i realized i had a 'hunters guild' for monster drops storage

[merry pebble]

Then that sounds like a better pláče indeed 😄

[vital umbra]

i have the most unintuitive system possible and i love its aesthetic

[zenith ginkgo]

how do yall flatten out large swathes of ground?

i always see these massive bases but i cant help but imagine how much of a royal pain in the ass it wouldve been flattening all that ground...

[merry pebble]

Slowly with a hoe 😄

[zenith ginkgo]

the answer i expected, but not the answer i was hoping for

appreciate it tho

[merry pebble]

Or build on existing terrain and incorporate it into the build 🙂

[merry pebble]

Yeah sorry, no faster way really

[zenith ginkgo]

wish there was a better tool for flattening ground than the hoe you get on day one

[merry pebble]

That would make the hoe pretty much useles

[zenith ginkgo]

consider: metal hoes

[merry pebble]

Go for suggestions 😄 i would not be against it

[idle storm]

I just do it a bit at a time for larger builds instead of all at once. Or just don't bother flattening the ground and building on a foundation of stone or grausten.

[unborn nexus]

Hoe, lower camera to the ground for any bumps, hammer it out with a pickaxe, reflatten with a hoe, repeat

[merry pebble]

You don't even have to tilt the camera 🙂 the circle and middle line shows you if anything Is lower or higher than the ground you are standing on

[frank herald]

Hello, does anybody know the prerequisites to buy Seafarer's Herbs from the Bog Witch?

I know that you have to kill ae Sea Serpent to get it. But is it a per-user flag or a per-server flag?

If I killed a Serpent on a server, can other players on the same server purchase Seafarer's Herbs?

[merry pebble]

I believe Its per server

[azure yacht]

Yes

[vital umbra]

the mistlands is just an immensely more enjoyable experience in a rogue light armor build

[rain flare]

Troll hide armor for the win

[near furnace]

that's very brave of you 👀

[vital umbra]

ahh....fenris armor i mean..

eitr-weave is alright but if i'm a mage i have less stamina

fenris armor is best armor IMHO 😄

[cosmic igloo]

ya fenris goated

ask armor got a special place in my heart...it feels like people see it as the underdog set, not so good, not so good looking, and for some reason i am drawn to it.

[cosmic igloo]

ask best endgame armor if you're not going mage. at least on harder difficulties

[vital umbra]

well from what i have seen is everyone not mage just goes flametal armor no matter what for the looks

[cosmic igloo]

cant blame em

[unborn nexus]

i make bronze to feel badass

[vital umbra]

in the ashlands?

[cosmic igloo]

bronze roman ahh armor

[unborn nexus]

not in the ashlands

never made it there yet

[vital umbra]

if i would rate the looks of armour its probably something along the lines of embla > flametal > ask > fenris > padded > drake > root > iron > carapace > bronze > leather > eitr-weave > troll hide

carapace was just a little bit of an underwhelming look for heavy armour, the helmet especially, and eitr weave i just look like little red riding hood.

[unborn nexus]

iron/root would be better

IF SWAMP HAD A CAPE

[vital umbra]

deer hide cape looks great with iron armour

it fits the rugged aesthetic more, capes look weird with bronze armor

[cosmic igloo]

agree 100%

[unborn nexus]

i like the little flavor text for carapace

[vital umbra]

embla is just...sexy, mind the language as i have no other words really...flametal is so metal, pun intended, i like ask, fenris is ridiculously edgy its awesome, padded looks great, drake/wolf armor is what i think of when i think of valheim, root armor was a lovely surprise an unique look, iron looks pretty reliable, carapace was fine, a disappointment but whatever, bronze does its job i guess, leather is kinda iconic, eitr-weave is just kinda weird, troll hide looks straight up stupid.

feels so bad to unequip padded for carapace. as i said b4 in suggestions, carapace should look like chitin armor from skyrim

i didn't like the exposed arms

sometimes i do....making a muscle mommy viking the carapace armor actually does a good job.

[cosmic igloo]

lul

[vital umbra]

on that one occasion the carapace armor is pretty much the best but...yknow

bruh one of my chickens spawned outside of the enclosure

[unborn nexus]

Padded armor i enjoy the best when i manage to beat moder in a run

Finely crafted, and great to look at

[vital umbra]

why am i so soft...slaughtering just one hen hurt.
