sea serpent gonna be looking hella lonely

[velvet hound]

@pliant hatch goated name

[shy marlin]

no shot people actually make bronze armor

[pliant hatch]

Would be nice to have something like Seaserpent scale chest armor and pants, a serpent trophy helmet and a cape made of fish-leather.

Of course, the major damage you will do with that armor is most likely poison due to the smell, but who cares.

[merry pebble]

Why wouldnt they? Its quite good looking. 🙂

[velvet hound]

I have heard of many people mixing armors. Does that work well?

[shy marlin]

no wonder everytime a major update gets released it gets nerfed lol

[velvet hound]

Mostly for looks I imagine

[trail pelican]

yeah a lot of people swear by it, mainly to optimize for damage resistances

there's a chest piece that provides a flat % reduction to piercing damage type which punches way above its 'weight'--usually people mix in the strongest possible helmet from the 'heavy' set (i.e. the latest biome they have access to's heavy set helmet) because helmets uniquely don't have the speed nerf so there's no 'trade-off' between higher armor and speed reduction as is the case for the other pieces in the 'heavy' version of armor for a given biome (which, not every biome has, but the model of at least 2, one heavy one light, followed by most of the biomes)

[velvet hound]

Need me some wolf armor so I can feel like Jon Snow in the north

make me a nice winter castle lol

[gray sand]

Food is the most important stat in the game by whatever measuring distance you prefer to use.

Armor is not as important.

[velvet hound]

Do I not need certain armor to avoid freezing tick damage?

[pliant hatch]

Wolf cape would be enough

[velvet hound]

Wolf cape it is then 😄

[gray sand]

Need? No.
It sure saves you on mead costs though.

[pliant hatch]

Until that it's using the Frost Mead.

[velvet hound]

If you build a shelter up there, I assume the obvious answer is yes, but does that also protect from freezing?

Havent been able to live long enough up there to test it

[pliant hatch]

A simple two piece 2m wooden wall with a roof over it and a campfire is already enough as a shelter.
But it won't protect you well when you're under attack by wolves.

A better solution is to use the various ruins you find in the mountains as a shelter as it's easier to create an enclosed area and add a roof to it.
Or even a portal, if you want a spot to enter / return to that biome more easily.

Also, if not mistaken you can still build campfires in Frost Caves.
So if you happen to run into one of those, building a campfire there offers great protection against the cold.
But you may have to deal with some nasty monsters in there, though.

[gray sand]

No.

[near marsh]

Hello, I have a problem with the Outsiders mod, I can't create a game with this mod and play with my friends, is there a way to fix it?

[merry pebble]

Try #mods-issues 😄

[odd kernel]

How do I spawn the queen or seeker soldier trophy?

I can't seem to find it in the I'd menue

[merry pebble]

"spawn SeekerQueen" or "spawn TrophySeekerBrute"

[velvet hound]

When you breed 1 star animals, can you breed them again with their off offspring? Not in a weird way lol but one of the originals I started with had no stars and I want to ensure 1 stars always. Eventually 2 star.

[azure yacht]

Yes

You can't have starred breeds if you don't have starred tames

[velvet hound]

I’m saying I had 1 star tame and another that was 0 star tame. If I have an offspring that ends up being another 1 star, can I kill off that 0 star parent and breed only the 1 stars to ensure 1 star every time,

[trail pelican]

yes

[velvet hound]

Perfect

[pliant hatch]

Yes. Killing off the 0 star is a good thing to do. Otherwise you will end up with keeping to kill them off for the resources anyway.

And once you got your 2 star, you can do the same thing again with those 1 stars you keep having.

Just a piece of advice, make sure your boars are in a safe, enclosed - including above - area.

[trail pelican]

yes, ALWAYS keep a breeding pair of starred tames tucked away somewhere safe

[cosmic summit]

Will parrying level my block skill?

[merry pebble]

Yep, with x1,5 the xp normal block gives

[lean mountain]

quite a hard skill to rise up I noticed though

[snow rover]

Stay rested. Otherwise skill gain goes way down

[lean mountain]

I try to often, but I remember staying up a good dozen minute just parrying skeletons and wildbrutes on repeat, but got only a few levels to 10-15

[cosmic summit]

My block seems pretty low even though I parry all the time. I might slap together a tower shield and go hang out at a greydwarf spawner for awhile

[snow rover]

Have a fire and ceiling where you farm skill 😉

I play on vhard nowadays, so blocking rarely an option

[regal spoke]

So dash is your best friend?

[snow rover]

Roll is important

Bone mass buff is go-time.
Avoid the mountain at night 😁

[regal spoke]

I frames but stam hog

[nocturne wolf]

Against any attack with a small enough hitbox, jumping is better than rolling

[snow rover]

Very hard also makes monsters bigger 😕

[regal spoke]

You can jump over/through attacks? Can't be intended

[lean mountain]

I'd very much prefer the reliability of a dodge tbh

I'm not gambling my life over sketchy hitboxes lol

[snow rover]

Jumping in absolutely a good idea, just mob/situation depending

[nocturne wolf]

Over, not through
And absolutely intended, otherwise why do we get jump buffs in mistlands?

[regal spoke]

In many cases you can bait an attack and dash back in for a little dps.

[waxen zealot]

can anyone tell how to repair thinghs like the pirmal bererki axe?

[nocturne wolf]

Like all items, they’re repaired at the station they’re made at with the minimum level shown in their stats

[regal spoke]

Til: Jumping as a combat strat. Ty

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacking allows you to keep full horizontal speed (instead of slowing down like on ground) and can keep you safe from attacks while dealing damage

[regal spoke]

Interesting

Jumping over is very mob/attack specific?

[nocturne wolf]

Most attacks are jumpable with enough jump skill (usually not much is needed), and past mistlands, lightfoot mead can help

[loud fable]

[nocturne wolf]

Some attack hitboxes are surprisingly small, morgen swipes are only 2.4m up.

But most are pretty accurate to the animation

[loud fable]

By keeping you safe, do you mean no damage is dealt?

Or no damage is taken i mean?

[nocturne wolf]

You time the jump and attack so you dodge the attack and land a hit much faster than rolling through and starting an attack
No damage taken

[loud fable]

Thats interesting, gonma try that

Thank you

[nocturne wolf]

For timing the attack, aim to have it hit the top of the enemy so you’re spending minimal time on the ground while in the attack animation

[loud fable]

Ok, will practice that out. Thanks again

[nova pelican]

@wooden totem #mods-screenshots message

Are these krumpac armors/shields?

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[nova pelican]

It's a yes or no question. Not a discussion.

[vocal rivet]

It's still the correct channel.

[odd helm]

Aye, but all discussion related to mods goes there

Main channels stay vanilla

[tiny tiger]

Where do you guys draw the line from early - mid - endgame ? Coz I’m thinking early game as meadows-swamp, mid as mountain-plains and endgame as mistlands-Ashland’s currently but I’m not sure if with the introduction of deep north id move mistlands down to mid game

[merry pebble]

I personally am completly disregarding oceans in that, as i think of them just as a "highway" between the biomes, but i view it basically as first 3 biomes=early game, 4,5,6= mid game and 7,8=endgame (when all of them are released ofc)

[cosmic igloo]

same

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I see oceans as a biome inbetween bf and swamp

[vocal rivet]

Same.

[tiny tiger]

what you gonna do in the ocean with a dinky raft lol

[vocal rivet]

So 3, 3 and 3 for me.

[light moat]

I think 1-3 is early, 4-6 is mid, then 7-8 is end game.

[merry pebble]

Could also be an option, swamp is, after all, a bit of a spike in difficulty, that would be coresponding nicely with the start of mid-game

[tiny tiger]

See the thing about mistlands is it’s in an awkward spot and unlocks all the endgame content, as far as I’m aware they aren’t going to make another tier of crafting stations for deep north it doesn’t seem likely and with it being at the edge of the world east and west it feels very much endgame

[trail pelican]

mistlands feels 'end game' to me

[tiny tiger]

But then the deep north and Ashland’s are the huge archipelagos south and north being distinct from the rest of the world gen

[trail pelican]

there is that true

vibes of it for me are early = meadows & bf; middle = swamp, mountains, plains; end = mistlands, ashlands, and deep north

[nocturne wolf]

With how much is locked behind Moder, I consider the first four biomes to be early game and the final four are end game

[vocal rivet]

There are 9 biomes though.

[tiny tiger]

There’s that too

[runic spoke]

huh I'm not on the second boss yet and I've gone there exploring, I even found a ||dragon egg|| although idk what it's used for. Too scared to enter the cave though since it gave me a warning xD

[trail pelican]

mmmmm 8.5 biomes

[nocturne wolf]

Ocean isn’t in progression. Serpents have appropriate stats to be fought with black forest equipment.

[runic spoke]

the wolves hit hard but you can parry them

[nocturne wolf]

Come back when you have killed the second and third bosses

[merry pebble]

Ocean gives you stuff at the swamp lvl basically, so it should technicaly be put between swamp and BF 🙂

[tiny tiger]

I mean it’s plains - mistlands tier food

[runic spoke]

should prob do that, I thought eikthyr was like the last thing you wanted to do on the first island so I went around making a base in the black forest and had a maxed out troll set before I fought them, was scared it'd still oneshot me only for the boss to deal like 3 damage to me when I missed the parry window XD

[trail pelican]

i think we can ALL agree Ocean all over the place

[nocturne wolf]

You’re supposed to kill a biome’s boss before progressing to the next one. Eikthyr is weaker than a troll

[tiny tiger]

the food is unlocked with swamp tier gear tho considering you need iron

[runic spoke]

Yeah I kinda noticed that xD

I've explored the swamp and partially the plains as well, I can't enter the swamp dungeons without killing the second boss though IIRC, so I'll prob do that tomorrow

still a bit scared to get close to those big ass buffalos, but one of the NPC's I met had tamed one so maybe I can do the same thing. I've also seen tamed greydwarves though sooooo...

I'll just sic my friend at them and see what happens

[trail pelican]

lol

[tiny tiger]

Tell him they’re friendly

[runic spoke]

I will

their first instinct when they saw one was to attempt to shoot them which made me freak out lmao

they'd prob walk over and destroy the portal and everything

we're still on the second bow

[tiny tiger]

Tameable greydwarfs to do housework like filling up smelters with coal and coal makers with wood would be nice lol

What’s the word for coal makers again

[trail pelican]

lol, that'd be a hilarious image

[runic spoke]

I wish I could plant shrooms and berries and crap in my home

my entire map is just completely wrecked with pointers

[vocal rivet]

In your example, slaves.

[trail pelican]

they want a mix of stuff you can farm and stuff you have to gather--I think it's better that way

[shadow socket]

Yo guys hello is there any chance for valheim to go to 5 euro discount cuz i been trying to buy it for over a year and it never did

[runic spoke]

that's fair, my only real issue is that my map just has too many pointers now lol

[tiny tiger]

no no you see they get paid in resin that I collected from their friends

[runic spoke]

Is there like a toggle for them

[vocal rivet]

Right click.

[runic spoke]

doesn't that remove them

[tiny tiger]

Right click on the bottom right

[trail pelican]

he means on the legend

[runic spoke]

ooh

[shadow socket]

Alr sorry for asking

[trail pelican]

yeah not the markers themselves, their "master icon" toggles ALL such icons on/off

[tiny tiger]

5 euro discount sounds really unrealistic

I believe it was 50% off not long ago

[trail pelican]

5 OFF or down TO 5--because I know there was like a half off sale

[vocal rivet]

That would be more than 5 Euro.

[runic spoke]

I guess I could see it happening in countries with lower income

[shadow socket]

Down to 5 cuz right now its 10

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I read it as down to 5 euro

[trail pelican]

I don't think it's gone down to 5 ever, probably not super likely

[vocal rivet]

Down to 5? Lol. No chance.

[tiny tiger]

Brother do you have PayPal? How much is the game rn in euros @shadow socket

[shadow socket]

Ahh alr sorry guys i really was hoping so cux my cousing is giving me a 5 euro steam code for christmas

[runic spoke]

OH DAMN I CAN RIGHT CLICK THE ICONS THEMSELVES TO TOGGLE THEM

[tiny tiger]

Yesss

[shadow socket]

Its 10 euro

[tiny tiger]

I can gift you the 5 to bring you up to 10

[shadow socket]

Nah bro dw i dont wanna take advantage of anyone

[trail pelican]

this is so wholesome

[tiny tiger]

Well the offers there dude

If you can’t figure out a way to get it before the sale is off let me know

[shadow socket]

Yea thanks man but i dont wanna waste ur money i can just wait for another sale

[runic spoke]

btw what is the middle icon for that kinda looks like an upside down anchor

Structures?

[trail pelican]

lol, it's a hammer that a significant portion of us (myself included) initially thought looked more like an anchor

[shadow socket]

Wait @tiny tiger i have some csgo skins can i use them to buy the game?

Idk how much they are worth thougj

[tiny tiger]

I’ve never played csgo i have no idea

[trail pelican]

i use it for "fighty" POIs (dungeons, etc.) and, a remnant from when i thought it was an anchor, marking where I left my boats

[shadow socket]

Ohh alr then bye guys sorry for disturbing u

[runic spoke]

you can sell them on the steam market and buy games with them, yes

most are worthless tho

I've bought stuff like bloons with the money I got from it though xD

[shadow socket]

@runic spoke cab i show you what skins i have i dont know what to do with them but my friend told me i can sell them

[hard sorrel]

guys

[shadow socket]

But idk how

[runic spoke]

idk what the skin market looks like so I can't really help you with that

[hard sorrel]

there are some way to recall a tame after navigating in the ocean? or I lost it forever?

[vocal rivet]

I swear I said that.

[runic spoke]

You did but I didn't understand what you meant

booted up the game and then I got it

[tiny tiger]

What tame is it

[hard sorrel]

a viking

[vocal rivet]

Vikings are people.

[tiny tiger]

Mods?

[vocal rivet]

Ugh.

[tiny tiger]

you could harpoon them and Drąg them maybe?

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[hard sorrel]

ok think it is a wolf

what would happen to a wolf?

[foggy glacier]

he'll keep swimming forever until you find him or something kills him.

[keen cliff]

i have a wolf swimming forever in the ocean, part of a group that i sailed to a different base.

i still pass him occasionally

[tiny tiger]

If set to follow can they swim and follow your boat?

[shadow socket]

@tiny tiger i sent u a dm

[foggy glacier]

Yes, it should.

[tiny tiger]

Does anyone know when the steam sale ends?

[vocal rivet]

Valve maybe?

[tiny tiger]

Does anyone have gabes number?

Let’s hope it’s still on tomorrow then good night guys

[vocal rivet]

Google tells me 2nd January.

[vital umbra]

the front of the steam store page tells me 2nd of january

[tiny tiger]

Thank you, for some reason it’s everywhere but where I looked, the mobile website version of the buy valheim page

[vital umbra]

oooOOoooo theres a few good things on that i want to get.......i often ignore anything that isn't atleast 50% off

[vocal rivet]

Ugh, it's 2024 and people still can't build proper mobile friendly pages.

[west pulsar]

Rah

[pliant hatch]

GRMBL. 26 bloody hours to find Onion Seeds on my current map.
Out of the 90-ish or so hours it took to get to the current point. Which is including the building and everything else.

And people complain the Yagluth vesigvirs are hard to find.. 😠

The only good news, I found two stacks so at least I got 11 onion seeds now. Which within 5-6 game days I'm finally able to cook mountain tier food.

[nocturne pasture]

found onion seeds first time on the mountain. Vesigvir took 3 days and like 4 different plain areas to find him.

[spare cobalt]

when is the north pole update coming out

[azure yacht]

When it's done

[vocal rivet]

Is it a pole on a flat world?

[stuck dome]

wadup

[foggy glacier]

Nuttin. Egg.

[stuck dome]

last time i was here i posted a few age of empires themed builds

[spare cobalt]

wow that really helps

[shy marlin]

No timeframe but anything in 2025 is a bit ambitious thinking

[spare cobalt]

ok

[azure yacht]

It's the only answer you can expect to get

[vital umbra]

If we knew, then i feel like there would be more excited chatter about it.

[azure yacht]

I don't understand why people keep thinking devs would deliver big news exclusively for discord rather than doing so for the entire community or most of it

[lusty crescent]

It would be posted on the signs and mailed to homes when a release date for valheim is announced

[vital umbra]

when something as substantial as 1.0 is in the picture i don't think its secretive, if you pay even a little attention to the game valheim and its updates you'll see it either announced on steam, youtube, twitter, reddit, google search, ya know.

also why is someone thats muted and deafened livestreaming rn

why is being deafened as a punishment something that exists

[vocal rivet]

No idea, presumably misbehaving in voice chat.

[vital umbra]

not allowed to hear other people 🤣

[wooden tapir]

got lucky and found a 2 star boar on day 1

[next shard]

You.

[wispy path]

steam has made developers of smaller games so fucking lazy with advertising, i wouldn't be surprised if there's some random half assed ad on page 82 of the new york times that's like 2cm tall

[lusty crescent]

That's usually because they have no money to really advertise, but Valheim devs prob have some ad money tucked away for when they do need to advertise it near release

[tiny tiger]

I really hope to see a resurgence like same levels as early access release if not more

Seems like Americans don’t really play the game? I feel chat would be a lot more lively during these hours if it was the case

I wonder how the demographics of the game look

[teal matrix]

Am American, spend most nights on Valheim

[wary shore]

I know im not representative of anything, but I bought valheim on a whim a while ago and i found out that many of my friends already play it. And I see many american youtubers playing it. I would imagine that at least a fair few americans play it, but I would also be interested in seeing the demographics of this game. I wouldn't be surprised if this game was more popular in europe or elsewhere

[tiny tiger]

If anything I don’t believe this game is too popular with people under the age of 20, atleast not like with people over that age, it’s too slow paced compared to other games available to play for people in that age range

[wary shore]

i think that is quite the assumption, considering how popular minecraft was and is

another survival game with a pretty slow pace

[ancient agate]

Sorry for not seeing it, but where in the Valheim Blocking sheet can a shield be entered? I see all the valid inputs, but all the cells above the arrow (that I thought indicated where to list them) seem protected, do I need to make another copy of it or something?

[tiny tiger]

It certainly is a pretty big assumption but I also don’t see married couples on their 40’s and above playing minecraft, and valheim is like wayyyyy more of a slow burn than minecraft is

Obviously I’m sure there is but it’s probably a lot lower of a % of the player base in contrast to valheim

[wary shore]

that's fair

[gray sand]

Should be the cell right below block skill? If memories serves, all 3 of the input boxes are right next to each other.

If you are on mobile I don't know what to tell you.

[wary shore]

It's a more complex game than minecraft and requires more patience. It's definitely not a game a 7 year old could play and enjoy that much (without their parents help) unlike minecraft.

It's also way better

[gray sand]

Better is subjective.

[wispy path]

Mistlands onwards is more complex than minecraft, but there's plenty of complexity to current minecraft 😄

and just wait until you get into redstone builds... much more complex than anything valheim could ever want to go for

[wary shore]

i am willing to die on this hill; as someone who grew up playing minecraft, it is a seriously flawed game in a way valheim simply is not.

[tiny tiger]

A game with valheim mechanics but Minecraft’s world interactability would be my dream game tbh

[wispy path]

try out TerrafirmaGreg

[ancient agate]

It was to the left of difficulty, but they are all together, I thought I tried there the first time, but maybe it was just a misclick. Thanks, though

[wispy path]

Vintagestory i heard is also pretty good in terms of story/mechanics

[gray sand]

Capitalization matters in that box.

[wary shore]

redstone stuff is really awesome and quite complex, when i played minecraft I would always fiddle with it. But it's a dead end, redstone isn't necessary except and its only purpose is to build cosmetically cool stuff (like walls that open and close) or stuff that no one would do in survival like building a calculator in minecraft

minecraft's progression is quite whack

[ancient agate]

I didn't know that, but I copied one of the provided inputs just to be safe

[gray sand]

👍

[wispy path]

that's not really how redstone works, you can use it for mob farms (infinite lava/copper/iron/gunpowder/clay/more) and you can use it for plenty of fun stuff like games within the game, cool doors, storage units, etc

redstone isn't a dead end, it's basically the beginning of the end game for projects

[wary shore]

well, I havent played regularly in a long time, but I dont recall most mob farms requiring redstone besides the most basic stuff. And no matter how fancy your redstone storage unit is, it will never be as efficient as just having a bunch of chests. Redstone is mostly only useful for cosmetics

but who knows maybe my understanding is completely outdated

[wispy path]

you definitely haven't played in a while then 😄

[tiny tiger]

You can do basically almost anything with red stone

[wispy path]

yah, it's ridiculously impressive how so few actual components, can be built into ridiculously complex structures

[wary shore]

fair enough i havent played it regularly for like 10 years

maybe things have changed

Even so I still think that over all my points of minecraft having bad progression and being a worse game than valheim is true, redstone was just a bad example

and it still has a lot of items that are almost completely useless, like copper blocks or those shells you get from the ocean

like oh cool they added honey blocks and bees to the game and dolphins, cool. But what do they actually add to the game? In valheim every creature has a pretty useful purpose

[wispy path]

you're using examples that other people do find useful

[wary shore]

ok explain to me how those items are useful, and if i'm wrong i'll eat my words

and "making a building look pretty" is not a valid answer

[wispy path]

conduits are incredibly cool, which are what those shells are used for

[tiny tiger]

Adding more ways for the player to express their creativity is a valid reason

[serene talon]

copper blocks are a more efficient way to store copper ingots

[wary shore]

it seems I did not know what those things are, I should probably stop talking before I make myself look even more stupid

[wary shore]

that's hardly a use

[wispy path]

copper also can be used for lamps, which is another component for redstone

[tiny tiger]

Not everything in the game has to serve the purpose of being somewhere in the progression, minecraft does a brilliant job of having several branches of progression that make the game more enjoyable

[wary shore]

since when do lamps need copper

[wispy path]

since you haven't played in a while, you clearly should just step back and listen to people who have 😄

[wary shore]

lamps do not need copper though

[serene talon]

there are new lamps

[tiny tiger]

There are copper lamps

[wispy path]

just shhhh

[wary shore]

ok, valheim is still way better though

[wispy path]

that's your opinions, cool

[tiny tiger]

way better for you sure but not for everyone, I do find valheim more enjoyable too but I also grew up on minecraft and the magic is mostly gone now

[wary shore]

valheim will never lose its magic to me

[wispy path]

valheim is great in small chunks for me - but in minecraft, i can play the base game, and then go slay magical monsters with fire and magic in Prominence

[tiny tiger]

Valheim is the perfect game for a 1-3 hour session after work I find

[wispy path]

also, TerrafirmaGreg is like playing a separate game on its own

from the gravity blocks, to smelting, clay pots/knapping, to forging your tools by hand, it's pretty sick - if you like valheim, terrafirmagreg is a cool experience

[wary shore]

valheim is the only game to make me play for like 30 hours straight, no sleep

only one other game got me close to that

and it wasn't minecraft

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it can certainly be quite addictive it’s important to take breaks

[wary shore]

I will farm 50000 barley you cannot stop me

YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME

[wispy path]

that's fine, you're giving opinions on what games you like, but when you start saying that minecraft isn't complex, that's where your opinion starts to turn into a misinformed take

[wary shore]

well, when I played minecraft it wasn't very complex besides a few specific mechanics like redstone. And I still think the progression sucks, though they also did more stuff to fix that too, but not enough. Microsoft has not made the game better

simplicity can also be a good thing, dont get me wrong

a game is not better just because it's more complex, but i feel like minecraft/microsfot hasnt done it right

[wispy path]

when you look at valheim... you start to see that you just repeat the same processes every biome 🙂

[wary shore]

yes, but with new things introduced in many of them, thus making its complexity and progression seamless

it builds on itself

[wispy path]

no, it just repeats itself 😄

[wary shore]

whatever you say

[wispy path]

that's until you get to mistlands anyway, i'd say that was a pretty good step in the right direction, though not everyone's cup of tea

[wary shore]

well you can be as misinformed as you want i guess

if you think the black forest is the exact same as the swamp which is the exact same as mountains which is the exact same as plains etc. then you have not been playing the same valheim as me

[tiny tiger]

The core loop is certainly solidified in the Black Forest - mountain stage of the game but after that the game starts to open up more

The core loop for that stage of the game being being beat boss, mine ore for next upgrades, get better food and beat next boss

Plains is a nice change of pace with its gorgeous scenery and no dungeons

[wispy path]

yah, and i think the plains is the least complex/easiest to progress from, most people skip plains armor and weapons anymore - you just need the axe and some bm to make the new machines

[mellow cradle]

yall think i should make a completely new world from scratch

[tiny tiger]

What’s wrong with your current world

[mellow cradle]

nothing really but my world is from day one and for some reason a certain part of my map is like glitched out which is kinda close to my main house

[wary shore]

the masses aren't known for their wisdom

[wary shore]

yeah, lots of updates and world changes will do that, but sometimes those glitches can look really cool, like on one reddit post it created floating islands. What glitches inflict your world

[mellow cradle]

haha the floating islands

[tiny tiger]

Damn you need to link me the floating islands what

[mellow cradle]

lmao they are hard to get to basically

[wary shore]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/12938dj/floating_islands/

[mellow cradle]

so then is that a no on me lol

[wary shore]

so your map has the floating islands too?

[mellow cradle]

yes ahah

[wary shore]

ohhh, that's awesome. I mean, you can create a new world, but I would love to have such a world

I'm sure you can find a way to build up to them, surely a combination of terrain raising with the hoe, iron pillars, and stone could get you there

[mellow cradle]

oooh i see what you mean

[wary shore]

you must build the tower of babel and reach the heavens!

surely nothing bad will happen from this

[mellow cradle]

haha ok i trust you thanks!

[wary shore]

let me know if you can reach them. I dont actually know if you can build high enough

[mellow cradle]

haha ok ill try!

just beat fader and im trying to prepare for another fader fight

[wary shore]

did you go to the ashlands at all before the ashlands update, when it was just nothing but sirtlings and emptiness?

[mellow cradle]

i did go to one area but the rest loaded

[wary shore]

that must be interesting

[mellow cradle]

just basic ash lands

[wary shore]

do sirtlings still spawn there?

[mellow cradle]

i think so its the old like spawns and i have that old metal

[wary shore]

that's very interesting indeed. rare hidden gem. Do not delete that world

make a new world if you must but your old world sounds awesome

[mellow cradle]

haha i wont delete it just thought id start fresh but i guess with 1.0 well see what happens

[wary shore]

i would start fresh and just avoid the deep north, I plan on making a new world just because i want something fresh and a new seed, among other things

[mellow cradle]

yeah thats what im looking for too a new seed

[wintry valve]

How does the staff of protection work when you are blocking?

nvm wiki explains it

[mellow cradle]

:0 how so

Hey, is the skill system a common topic of conversation? I don't interact with the Discord much, but I feel as though the skill system is pretty lackluster at what it wants to do and I feel like it could either be improved to cater to character builds/ progression or I feel like it's not needed at all. I don't think a skill tree would suit the game but it feels more like an archaic feature to be 'RPG-like' rather than an integrated system. Lmk if it's common topic of discussion

[lusty dirge]

It is, search the #suggestion-discussion channel if you are interested in previous discussions

[upbeat ginkgo]

the odin horse and horse cart pisses me off
like the horse literally runs to knows what when an enemy appears but when its untamed it wont stop following you till u die and its control is weird but i need the mod

[ember kayak]

Thanks!

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[vocal rivet]

Game isn't an RPG, system is fine.

[warm sandal]

I can report one married couple above 40s (with the wife steaming and youtubing that game too) but for sure i do not have statistics about how many of us do play 😄

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose you've never played Wurm Online. Or even heard of it. Lots of 40-50+ married couples playing that game. And it's even harder as Valheim or Minecraft - which was done by one of the former Wurm Online Devs - ever will be.

[vital umbra]

i am 19 😤

[merry pebble]

"...I don’t believe this game is too popular with people under the age of 20, atleast not like with people over that age..."
You understand that doesent in any way exclude people of other ages right?

Tho i dont really agree with that statement

[pliant hatch]

Seeing the comments, I can only think they were made to kick some shins or something.
Lots of made assumptions, all based upon........ I dunno? Wind direction or something.

I assume the comments were only made to stir up the chat.

[merry pebble]

Oh i didnt read all of that as it looked exactly like that at quick glance 😄

[pliant hatch]

At least I'm still happy with the "lucky streak" I got in my last two game plays.
First I got onion seeds from chests in the last two buildings I had in this mountain area. And not a little bit, but a stack of 4 and a stack of 7. "Only" took me 26 hours in the mountains to find those. Well, a bit less as I went looking for the Bog Witch and killed Brenna in between as well. But still.... Longest time for me to find Onion Seeds. Even Turnips were found faster.

Then, at the end of my session I got a night spawn 2-star wolf attacking me, right after I had finished the "wolf trap pit". So dropped in some deer meat, went into hiding and got attacked by another (no-star) wolf. Since I couldn't lure it in the pit, I had to push it in with my shield. Which surprisingly worked for a change (usally fails), so now I had two wolves to be tamed.

Finished the taming today, found a silver vein nearby, so got to mine that and the two star already popped out a cub, so I need to lure that one home. The other two are already there, so it won't be too long before I got the fluffy thingies roaming around my base. 🙂

Only disadvantage, when taking it to my base, the 2-star popped another cub somewhere in the meadows / black forest area. So I guess that one's lost, unless I manage to run into it accidentally.

[merry pebble]

I had the exact opposite luck with crops XD couldnt find turnips until i was deeply into swamp progress but onions i found in my first chest 😄

[merry pebble]

Look for dropped deer leftowers 😄

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, the real god of this game is the "Sadistic Number Generator", as it works in mysterious ways.

I will have to take the first cub home along the same way, so I will certainly be on the lookout. Need the deer hide anyway.

[merry pebble]

I didnt had much luck with traders this playthrough, found Hildir kinda easily but Haldor and the Witch were quite a pain, i think i found Haldor at day 50 or something when normally it doesent take me more than 20-30, and witch... I dont have much of a timeframe since this is the first playthrough i am doing after her update but it also wasnt quick 😄

Currently i am also trying to tame wolves and have a pit ready, but the aforementioned SNG doesent like me much and no starred ones yet xD

[pliant hatch]

I only got lucky because I was heading back from Moder's altar to my main mountain portal and the 2-star spawned in the night. That's why I was able to lure it in the pit. Otherwise I may have to settle with the no-stars instead.

At least one thing is for sure: It'll be a lot easier to find the plants in the Plains. 😄

[merry pebble]

Oh yes 😄 cant wait for taht, i just need to find some small plains island to make a farm there

[regal spoke]

o/ good day Valheim

[pliant hatch]

That's something I intend to do as well. Or perhaps turn an island into a base.

But then, it would be nice to have some Mistlands area as well, so I can grow all crops in a single base. But so far I haven't seen an island with both plains and mistlands and not too large to put a base on.

[merry pebble]

I usually have those farms separated, just portals at each of them, but it would be nice to have them connected 😄

[pliant hatch]

I usually build my Mistlands "farm" on that strip of land near the Queens lair.
That way I can use the area under the stairs as "base" with a portal, without having to worry about creatures destroying everything.

Last game I played I just cultivated a small patch of plains near Hildir and used the portal I have to visit her to access that farm. Worked like a charm.

[regal spoke]

I thoroughly enjoy making and using island bases. Plains+Mistlands Island is a tall order

[pliant hatch]

Island bases are nice and certainly the easiest to defend. And to build quite nice stuff at it. An island with plains and mistlands on it may be hard to find, but perhaps I am lucky and I may have found one.

Will take some time before I head out there as I got Moder and Yagluth to deal with, but it looks promising for sure. 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

i wonder how mist works on a small patch of mistlands. imagine its just big enough to fit crops, would mist spawn there?

[idle storm]

the problem with small Mistland islands is that most of them don't have cultivatable soil. You generally need to move a bit inland from the shore for that.

[cosmic igloo]

oh right theres like stone ground or whatever that you cant grow on

[tiny tiger]

Yep

[cosmic igloo]

imagine u get lucky with ground u can grow on + an ygg vein there

[idle storm]

Finding farmable mistland next to plains with an ancient root or two isn't that hard. It's probably the most common biome bordering Mistlands after BF.
It's specifically the "island small enough to spawnproof" bit that's the issue with Mistlands.

Though on the other hand my current Mistland farm does have nearby Gjall spawns (i can hear them) but i've yet to aggro it even once.
The seeker soldier is kept at bay by a simple terrain wall.
The only enemy i've actually had to fight were deathsquitoes and a few seekers.

[pliant hatch]

Or find a plains island that's bordering the Mistlands zone, so you can raise land and build in both biomes.
What I found looks like that, but I will find out over time.

[warm sandal]

I will find out soon how i will fare playing on hard and then building a base in every biome a big and nice base 😄 I have been wanting to do that for ages 😄

and yes that means building in the Mistlands too 😄

[tiny tiger]

Black marble castle gonna look goated

[idle storm]

not really an issue as long as you don't build out of wood. Black marble bases aren't quite immune to gjall, but you'd have to be afk to actually get one destroyed that way.

[warm sandal]

trying to get out of the comfort zone and doing things i never tried before...we shall see how it goes 😄

[idle storm]

honestly the main issue with basing in the Mistlands is that after killing Queen and Fader you only ever get two raids - skeletons and bats.
Well and the Hildir raids if you've unlocked them.

[trail pelican]

i feel like the worst will be Ashlands--until and unless you campfire spam to achieve total suppression, it's a steady stream of fights with a good mix (as in, from the sky, ranged, the jumping spinning boyo, lava blobs that literally modify terrain and break structures great too, etc.) of enemies that demand your full attention--no building while the annoying grewdwarf horde pelts you with rocks and you only stop to give them attention because you're tired of them knocking off your placement for the umpteenth time

[tiny tiger]

Solution is for sure to either make a most or raise terrain or both

[trail pelican]

yeah you can manage once you get defenses, you just got a lot of fighting to do UNTIL they're up while GETTING them up

[native swan]

good morning! I am a newbie, how can i play in a server?

[opal prairie]

On the age discussion I'm 40 and I've been gaming since the gameboy, I play lots of genres and my wife does some gaming as well but not the games I enjoy.

[opal prairie]

#1024264966712340510 Is the place to find other Valheimians to play with.
There are no public servers only servers that other people have set up, so either make your own or join someone else's.

[regal spoke]

Also a married gamer. I game with my wife and kids. I play Valheim with the kids. Wife isn't a fan. She's the shooter type. So we kill zombies together lol

[warm sandal]

looks like quite some married couples 😄

[pliant hatch]

Kinda makes me wonder what I - being a 50+ single person - am doing here.

[warm sandal]

guess you are playing valheim...we do not judge anybody may play 😄 😛

[plush umbra]

oi

[cosmic summit]

if i anger one group of dverger do they all become hostile?

[runic spoke]

I wish I could make several portals go to one portal xD

[nocturne wolf]

No, only nearby dvergr

[merry pebble]

Make a portal hub 😄 that way they go to same place at least

[runic spoke]

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m doing rn

[idle storm]

portal hubs are super convenient

[runic spoke]

Isn’t a portal hub just a place with a bunch of portals or is there some hidden mechanic I haven’t discovered yet

[trail pelican]

@runic spoke no that's literally it

it does have one practical purpose you could say, by separating your however many dozens of portals into their own place you minimize the performance impact they would otherwise have in the middle of a base

[pliant hatch]

Yes, as it's usually big building or mined out under the Elder Altar where you put down your portals leading to other biomes, bosses and other points of interest.

However, in a way it's a "no" too, as you won't have all those portals at your main base, but only do with a single portal over there.

And to make it more complicated;

There are players who use a letter or number for their portals and mark those at their map, leaving the portal at their main base as the one they need to rename.
Kinda like having a SP1 for Spawn, for instance, SW1 for the first one in / near the Swamp and so on.

With that they won't need a portal hub, as the portal at their main base basically is the hub.

[idle storm]

The main purpose to having everything in one place is that it keeps your running ways short. And not constantly having to rename portals saves time as well.
You don't think it makes much of a difference until you actually try it, but once you do you'll never want to go back imo.

[warm sandal]

I usually have one Portal per Biome and a pocket portal and boat portal at my main base and one "exit" portal if I need to get home from somewhere not connected

i can not be bothered to build a gazillion portals 😄

[trail pelican]

i usually carry a stone portal and leave one at my base (before that did same with regular portal), unnamed so it's just 'drop and go'

and the rest I put in a hub, unless it's a high traffic route, then I might leave those in the main base

[regal spoke]

There's other cool things to do with portals. I like to hide portals in builds. Perhaps in a secret room. Entry disguised by banners or use a chair to slip beyond a wall. I use these as ways to get to portal hubs or treasure rooms tucked under rocks. Handy ideas when playing on servers.

[idle storm]

for mistlands you can also hide portals in hollowed-out rocks or even dig out entire tunnel networks through the mountains

[trail pelican]

mistlands is probably my favorite, it's so strange and beautiful, even though I'm still too scared to stick around after dark

[tawdry estuary]

anyone know what good mod is best to play on valheim after finishing it

[pliant hatch]

You might want to ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[ancient agate]

Tell me more about this, lol. I am just getting into the Plains, but I kind of want to sneak into the Mistlands to try and grab some Jotun Puffs

[warm sandal]

probably a kiddo trying to be funny ... given what he wrote ::D

[idle storm]

It's not hard really. Just hack into the rock spires with your pickaxe a little until you make a small room, put down some flooring and a door and you have your outpost.
Takes a little practice to get a feel for how those rocks break but it's not like mistlands are lacking in practice material.

I made a tunnel for my sapfarm to connect two sets of roots on different sides of a big mountain that way and put the portal inside it.

[median yarrow]

any idea deep north is out when?

[plush umbra]

mistlands is the coolest biome by far

[vocal rivet]

We don't know yet, by the end of next year if we're lucky.

[warm sandal]

and plains is the most relaxed one ...

[pliant hatch]

Unless you're allergic to mosquitoes.....

[warm sandal]

you can take anti-sting now and be left in peace 😄

[plush umbra]

I personally like the heavenly vibe of plains, but mistlands just has the coolest mystical vibe, like it really reminds me im playing a fantasy game if that makes sense xd

[shy marlin]

everything about the mistlands 🤌

[plush umbra]

with all the cool unique weapons and equipment and the giants remains, the new magic system, the insanely sick gjall sounds that sound out of this world

[warm sandal]

the lush greenery so beautiful... i hope to find a nice clearing to build a pretty base there

[merry pebble]

Your eyes trying to see through the mist:

[plush umbra]

first time hearing a gjall aggro sent some sort of fight or flight reaction

[wary shore]

I just wish you could upgrade the wisp to make the mist clearing radius bigger

[plush umbra]

true

when you do find the clearings tho, it's so beautiful

[wary shore]

That's my only complaint about mistlands, other than that it's great

[warm sandal]

i like that you need to use your ears for once and not only the eyes 😄

I do like the looks of the ashlands too... they are pretty in their unique way... just the spawnrate of them mobs is insane 😄 need a lot more getting used to than I have done since it came out 😄

i am sure once i have learned all the patterns there better i would not be as terrified anymore 😄

[plush umbra]

haven't gotten to the ashlands, but I'm usually not a fan of lava areas in games like dark souls, elden ring etc

hope ashlands change my mind

[warm sandal]

I think they did a great job... it just needs to be gotten used to 😄 first time there i could not appreciate the beauty because i was busy dieing a lot 😄

but that was the same for me in the Mistlands ... when i got there first i was very busy recovering corpses all the time 😄

[regal spoke]

I haven't done that in the mist yet. So many creative things to discover.

[cosmic igloo]

do you guys ever create a new char but play on the same world as before?

[regal spoke]

Yea sometimes on group servers

[warm sandal]

never did that... new char new world for me always

[trail pelican]

kinda--i made an 'errand guy' character lol, so when i wanna test things that probably/i expect may get me killed and I don't wanna sacrifice the high skill levels, I got him lol

otherwise more likely to use same character on a NEW world, than new CHARACTER on an old world

[regal spoke]

The sacrificial naked blade runner ftw

[west pulsar]

Never had a problem with them tbh they just see you from far away

[craggy niche]

First time walking into mistlands without wisp, feels like Lox eyesight

[west pulsar]

Accurate

[royal tendon]

Im playing on a server with a friend and my drops multiply like crazy for some reason, but it appears that his drops are normal. Any idea why this happens? For example i get 5 trophies from a single enemy and they are all in one stack. Also my friend is using some mods but this problem didnt exist earlier when he already had them.

[merry pebble]

It would be best if you both remove/disable any mods you are using, they can break the game in many unexpected ways, if that fixes it you can turn them on one by one and that way you will se which one it was

[royal tendon]

Thx, will try

[warm sandal]

I try to avoid doing that... i only sneak in sometimes a bit where i can see to get an early pickaxe 😄

[trail pelican]

yeah it just doesn't seem worth it to me either--and you need like MULTIPLE things in the biome mostly to make use of ANY of the things in it (black core, extractor for sap, the sap itself, the soft tissue, and so on)

unrelated, I saw a clever youtube short which showed someone building a big yule tree by using a core of wood beams arranged in a pyramid for support, then layering yule trees on top--it blended together well and really did look like a big tree at the end

[warm sandal]

now I kinda want to try that out 😄 would look fab in the woods if there were a big yule tree all of the sudden 😄

[idle storm]

Not actually true. Just black marble lone gets you the cauldron upgrade. Just the black forge gets you skoll & hati, the arbalest & krom. Just a dvergr extractor unlocks lingering stamina mead.
Yes, you need refined eitr for the good stuff, but it's not like you get nothing for the pieces you collect on the way there.

[trail pelican]

mmmm interesting, ok--black core then, if you could find a dungeon, definitely worth it (you'd need that right, or I guess get a seeker soldier to do it for you, to get the pick to break the marble?); i did forgot how many fun weapons unlock with just the black forge + prior mats (or in krom case, you need hare skin i think, one of the easier grabs)

[craggy niche]

Could a hammer deconstruct it?

[idle storm]

Also you can collect decent amounts of soft tissue from dvergr buildings (depends on RNG how many crates spawn, but 15-40 soft tissue per building is about average) so even just sailing around the Mistland coast and clearing out any harbors you find can get you set for your entire run

[idle storm]

you can just dismantle any ruin with a stonecutter, yes

[trail pelican]

I think a hammer + stonecutter could deconstruct the black marble structures good point

[idle storm]

actual structures don't need high level tools either

you can destroy dvergr ruins with normal weapons if you're patient

[trail pelican]

oh yeah, you mean just like thwack em with any pick, or even just waepons?

[idle storm]

a stonecutter is just a lot faster

also gives you truckloads of copper scrap and more dvergr extractors than you'll ever need.
I think i'm at 29 now, full mistland gear except Mistwalker and Wisplight because i haven't actually killed Yag yet.
Just sailing around the coast and exploring mist-free ares for dvergr ruins and infested mines.

[craggy niche]

Any iron in those structures?

[idle storm]

the ruined bridges, yes. The normal towers with dvergr in them no.

[trail pelican]

i think one or both of the armor & swords also drop a mix of iron and copper

[idle storm]

a bridge can get you multiple stacks of iron from the iron cage walls giving it stability. It's even already smelted.

[craggy niche]

Nice, emergency iron notes in case swamps aren't nearby

[idle storm]

You can actually grab some iron in pretty much any post-swamp biome.
Mountains: the torches in frost caves drop it sometimes
Plains: sealed towers tend to have a bunch
Mistlands: dvergr bridges and ancient swords
Ashlands: pots in ruined buildings and putrid holes

[trail pelican]

the devs saw all the meme posts of a longship hold's worth of iron and all the comments are "that's a nice start" too

[tiny tiger]

The doors in mountains also have a chance of dropping iron but it’s not something you wanna rely on really

[craggy niche]

Yeah, I found mountains to have the least reliable yield for alternative metals

Plains, I didn't know about the metals in sealed towers

[pliant hatch]

They're mostly iron from the grate doors and black metal from the creatures you kill inside.
No copper there.

[tiny tiger]

Omg beat sealed tower finally

Maxed plains gear with frostner and bonemass made light work

[pliant hatch]

Would've been a lot easier if you had used oozebombs as well.

But, contratz, nevertheless

[tiny tiger]

Saving those for infested mines

It was easy enough I didn’t go below 100 health and max was 190, pretty much parry locked the boss

I think next time I’m gonna attempt it without bonemass

[regal spoke]

What difficulty are you playing

[tiny tiger]

Vanilla, default everything

[livid leaf]

How long does the 50% sale last still?

thinking of being santa for some peeps but I gotta know

[pliant hatch]

I assume you meant on Steam?

If so, I don't know, but it's most likely on their main store page.
As it usually is.

[light moat]

I believe until January 2

[livid leaf]

Steam yes

[tiny tiger]

Omg the second chicken spawned on top of the iron fence and got roasted instantly

God damn it now I gotta go kill yagluth and drop 1.5k on a single egg

[regal spoke]

You can get eggs from the towers right?

[teal matrix]

Ye

[light moat]

This is really wishful hoping, but I hope chicken eggs and chicken meat get more uses in Deep North 🤔

[tiny tiger]

That’s where I got the two eggs from lol

[cosmic summit]

How many eitr refineries should I build as a solo player?

[idle storm]

They take black cores so the question is more "how many CAN you build?". I've never felt the need for more than one though, i just go do something else while eitr is refining.

[light moat]

Just one is plenty imo

[teal matrix]

Can always run another tower

[tiny tiger]

Good point there is one fairly close to my old base but yagluth is also in that direction so I may as well just bite the bullet and start collecting wisps too while I’m at it, im in no rush to dive into the mistlands yet I’ve been slowly building my base for the past 50 in game days and its gonna take atleast another 30

but a stockpile of wisps for when I do venture would be nice

[static ruin]

I found an area that's like a square mile of no mist in the buglands.

What should I do with it

[tiny tiger]

Could it look nice for a base?

[warm depot]

how do you guys do make a fire inside the house while on immersive before stone cutter?

2x2 core wood chimney is not working =((

oh wait, it works, nvm...

[lyric aspen]

have the devs ever made any comment about the game coming to consoles?

[gray sand]

Uh... it has been on Xbox Game Pass for a good long while...

[teal matrix]

Although it currently is off game pass, but yes, it is on xbox.

[vital umbra]

thats not a playstation

[vocal rivet]

They didn't ask about a Playstation.

[vital umbra]

they didn't ask about xbox either, they said console.

although i am obviously pretty much entirely pc i hate xbox and i own a playstation

[vocal rivet]

And? The correct answer to 'is the game coming to consoles' is 'yes, it's already available on XBox and Steam Deck'. Which is pretty much what was said.

[vital umbra]

shrug

mayaswell not be on consoles as far as i'm concerned because its not on any console that i'm going to touch with a 39 1/2 foot pole 😊

[vocal rivet]

Once again, not really the question. I do wonder why you felt the need to criticise a CORRECT answer to a question from an hour ago.

[vital umbra]

in a general sense the game is not out on consoles, its out on a console.

[vocal rivet]

In a general sense the game is very much on consoles. The only time the answer would have been no is if they asked if the game was available on the Playstation.

[vital umbra]

so if asking about "consoles" the game is roughly available to 60% of console players, the other 30 being playstation, and a small percentage left over for whatever trivial crap devices there are.

it looks like theres reasons to not porting to playstation with extra difficulties but if i ever wanted to play on my tv, valheim wouldn't be on the list, unless that changes in the future.

[teal matrix]

😂

[vital umbra]

If i was without a pc i would be a console player and i would not have access to valheim, it felt like a sweeping statement was made "yeah its on console"

[shrewd garnet]

There are.. Others?

Surely playstation and xbox are the only consoles

SURELY

[gray sand]

GameCube.

[shy marlin]

super smash bros on game cube good memories

[gray sand]

Metroid Prime.

Goldeneye.

Wait, that was the N64 wasn't it?

[gray sand]

Correct.

is valheim out on the original playstation 1 or wii yet

[vital umbra]

yeahh?

nintendo

which i guess is pretty much its own universe anyways

[grand ravine]

if i wanted a console i would keep a pc in steam bigpicture mode. all console makers had driven me away by 2015 or so.

[vital umbra]

i mean i dont care about makers of anything, buut microsoft can.....ah.....rot, i would very much like that.

for minecraft and forced account migration for one thing, on that day i no longer was a minecraft player.

[grand ravine]

linux has worked with decidedly less than windows-level annoyances for me, going on around 5 years now. all my games work fine.

[vital umbra]

well linux was always my childhood but since i've unfortunately had a windows laptop, the reality i have faced is less fucking around with compatibility issues because its like the default operating system for everything and everyone.

[grand ravine]

how long ago was that though? compat issues have all but disappeared in the last couple years. even my nvidia gpu hasn't been an issue, and just in the last 6months they've really stepped up their game. official drivers on linux aren't a pain anymore. might be worth a look if you don't need likkkeee adobe or rainbow six

plus windows update doesn't overwrite my up-to-date drivers with old/bad ones. (cough)

[vital umbra]

like this year lol

it was recently that i sorted through like 6 different versions of proton to get a game to run on ubuntu

[grand ravine]

ngl I'll take that over windows nonsense. it does happen occasionally that a game likes a certain version of proton sometimes, but imho it's kinda rare and a lot less annoying than the microsoft shenanigans. 🤷‍♂️
.. there are a few games that just don't play well still (like r6s), but none that i use

besides, realistically, valheim is the only game that really matters. >. >

[vital umbra]

yeah it bugs out on my ubuntu computer where the main menu screen becomes a black void whenever i do random things like alt tab or change a hairstyle in character creation

[grand ravine]

o.O that's... bizarre

[topaz lintel]

I might not be the first or the last to ask this but I was wondering... how many biomes are currently complete in the game? I’ve read in multiple places that the Ashlands and Deep North are still under development. However, the devs recently released a patch called Ashlands so I’m a bit confused. Does this mean only the Deep North is still in development or is the Ashlands biome also incomplete?

[nimble moss]

Ashlands is done

just Deep north to go

[topaz lintel]

Thank you

[snow flicker]

so what is the reason we had to murder moders children just for her to come out as a failing mother and cry about it?

feels like it could be avoidable 🤔

[normal galleon]

When you say it that way, her drop "Dragon Tear" feels very different 😟

[static ruin]

I'm a viking not a shrink.

[normal galleon]

Ofc, killing her all the same. 🤣

[vital umbra]

poor dragon mommy 😔

[cinder plaza]

Are Oceans getting a bit of love too??

[pliant hatch]

And what do you think the Ancient Seeds were that you used to summon The Elder?

[snow flicker]

unsure

do they grow more elders

[pliant hatch]

We won't know that.
Just like we won't know if the eggs we use to summon Moder will ever hatch.

[snow flicker]

stillborn dragon

[cosmic igloo]

every boss is summoned by it's children. fader's poor babybells sacrificed

never got the chance to grow up and be placed in a church

[nocturne wolf]

So that’s why the dragon eggs don’t hatch? Dragons come from bells?

[tiny tiger]

From bones

The bells come after

[pliant hatch]

Depending at what the univeral lore says about dragons, it's possible Moder just lays eggs like chicken do.
And Fader, being a terrible dad, decides he's off to buy a package of cigarettes. (Or a new vape)

[fallen zephyr]

Drakes are the children of Moder and Fader. Fader went to get cigarettes and never came back.

[pliant hatch]

So you're assuming all laid eggs are fertile. What if they're not?

[tiny tiger]

I assume the ones used to summon her aren’t fertile

[solid portal]

“Life finds a way”

[snow flicker]

i mean they glow, i feel like a dead egg wouldnt glow much

[fallen zephyr]

I'm sure some of them aren't. Valheim doesn't seem to offer us any means by which to provide an appropriately gestative (that might be a made-up word) environment for Dragon Eggs.

[fallen zephyr]

Spawn two Moders and get them together. See what happens!

[solid portal]

@fallen zephyr then you get a couple

[fallen zephyr]

They're... bimodal.

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[fallen zephyr]

Genetically, I'm 26% Scandinavian.

[wispy path]

#screenshots message - this is kind of cool, first time i've seen this variation

[pliant hatch]

I've seen those "grates" near shipwrecks before. But quite often most of them is burried in the sand, so you won't see much of it.

[fallen zephyr]

I love your explorative nature, but I'd hazard a guess that it's just a product of the procedural generation.

[wispy path]

i didn't even know they had chests buried

[fallen zephyr]

'Buried Chests' sounds like a great name for a Men's Emotional Support Group.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah well, that's the thing with buried chests. You won't see them because they're under the surface.

Hence why it's a good idea to keep shipwreck spots marked at your map and visit them once you got the wishbone.

[fallen zephyr]

By the time you get wishbones, there's very little in shipwreck chests worth a damn.

[merry pebble]

Just have a pickaxe with you and give it a few digs when you find a shipwreck, no need to wait for wishbone 🙂

[summer hinge]

That's why I dig it up when I find one. As Asatru said, no need to wait for the wishbone

[warm sandal]

i have been living very comfy without digging any one of those up... it is not like they contain special treasure ... all that is contained can be found elsewhere with less hassle

[oak kraken]

play some one?

[fallen zephyr]

That's my life.

[oak kraken]

do you want to play with me

[fallen zephyr]

No thanks, man. Good hunting to you! 🙂

[oak kraken]

thanks

I had a dragon egg hidden within a rock in the mountains today thought it was pretty cool

the edge of the nest was just hanging out a lil but the egg was completely covered

All Vikings spoke perfect English.
Just ask any American, they will tell you.

Yes

[queen plover]

It's Swedish.

[fallen zephyr]

Nobody wants a Discord without drunk/high people.

Yeh, that's right! I speak for everyone.

[mighty gate]

If you don't mind the screaming tree babys are hitting my chickens again

[fallen zephyr]

No. I don't mind your chickens being hit by screaming tree babies. I don't know what a screaming tree baby is, but I'm going to assume it will result in me getting a quarter chicken and chips down the line.

[mighty gate]

The lings of gray

[fallen zephyr]

Hey @vocal rivet , I stand corrected.

[mighty gate]

The blue eye boys

The tree guys

Scared of fire?

[tiny tiger]

Man watching new people play this game is so fun

Just seen this guy spend 10 days rafting to get his shit back and keep dying to everything possible

[vocal rivet]

That's...fun?

[tiny tiger]

it’s on yt and is condensed to leave the boring stuff out but imagining this guy spending hours having to remake a raft every time he dies just makes me giggle

[nocturne wolf]

Did he find a plains?

[tiny tiger]

His first death was at day 47 (?)and from there it was just a string of bad decisions and luck, the dude mined into a rock by the coast and got stuck with no way to swim out until a troll stumped him

[queen plover]

i wanna watch him

[tiny tiger]

Yep, fulings, deathsquitos sea serpents the whole lot

https://youtu.be/v6vrti2Ey-Y?feature=shared string of deaths begins from 47 minutes in

[gray sand]

Wonder if someone's working on Valheim: Colony Simulator 🤔

[unreal hull]

yule trees: indoors or outdoors?

[plush umbra]

i like to be indoors
(comfort objects only have a comfort radius of 10 meters, so if the goal is the point of comfort, indoors is usually more convenient)

[cosmic summit]

I've never bothered with taming wolve, are they useful in mistlands?

And if i have them free roaming my base in the meadows will they kill and eat boar/ neck and then breed on their own. Eventually causing my base to be flooded with wolf pups?

[tiny tiger]

A 2 star seeker is able to 1 shot a 2 star wolf with one of it’s attacks

[fiery jacinth]

[sacred forge]

RAAA LOVE THIS GAME

[light moat]

Yeah it’s alright

[tacit crystal]

Yeah after over 2,3k hours playing I can also tell it's alright

[quick mauve]

Haven't played in over a year, I think, heard there's some new things 👀

[merry pebble]

Oh there are 😄 a whole new biome and new merchant for example

[quick mauve]

Oo

Fancy lol I gotta get back into it, I love building on this game, and abusing myself with falling trees 🤣

[fiery jacinth]

There is rarely anything as dopamine inducing than chopping down a tree in a dense forest and see that tree destroy other trees which in turn destroy other trees again

[quick mauve]

Oh yes I agree

[fiery jacinth]

the most comfortable time I had was starting up a new game, finding a spot to settle and just spend 3 or more hours collecting 16 wood chests worth of wood while I was watching House M.D at the side

10/10 would do again. will do again

[quick mauve]

Lol

[snow flicker]

Can anyone give me a general idea what to prepare for yagluth?
Im being told between frostner and silver sword for weapons but Im not sure which to use.

[plush umbra]

assuming both weapon type levels are equal, the silver sword is significantly better

[gray sand]

Silver Sword is BiS for Yag.

[plush umbra]

frostner is tied with the black metal sword for second place

(both weapons have the same base damage against yagluth's resistances, but the sword secondary attack has slightly better dps, while frostner is a biome older than the BM sword so its stamina cost is lower, it's very much a preference thing there)

[idle storm]

silver sword, ratatoskr mead, fire resist wine if you don't use Fenris and an anti-sting concoction to guard against any deathsquito adds. Also stamina and healing meads if you need them.

[snow flicker]

So silversword/frostner
fire resists
healing/stamina meads
2 health foods 1 stamina food
use earth towards advantage?
should I use padded armor?

[gray sand]

Take Tasty Mead instead of Stamina.

[snow flicker]

Okay

[merry pebble]

Nah take both

[snow flicker]

Rahhhh

[gray sand]

Don't.

[merry pebble]

Why? They can be used independently from each other. There is literally no downside to using both.

[shy marlin]

Ye lol

[wide topaz]

I just found a giant frozen lake in a frost cave and it genuinely gave me 'every copy of valheim is personalised' feelings lmao

[plush umbra]

how giant, got screenshots?~

[snow flicker]

im being told to use fenris armor, is this good idea for yag?

[merry pebble]

If you trust yourself not to get hit, then yeah

[wide topaz]

sure, I'll put it in screenshots, it's just a normal giant lake though

[snow flicker]

well ive never fought him before so I am not sure.

[plush umbra]

depends on your playstyle. its defense is lower than padded armor, but it's much faster.
it has built-in fire resistance so there's no need for fire res wine, but it offers no additional benefit against fire since resistances don't stack and the armor's resistance is the same as the wine's, so padded + wine is still better defensively

[merry pebble]

Then use padded 🙂 the fenris gives you fire resist but you have wine for that 🙂 (also for the speed, you might want to make ratatosk tonic :D)

[wide topaz]

I'd been thinking how frost caves seem crazy expansive and variable for procedural generation

[plush umbra]

oh heck, i somehow misinterpreted that as a giant unfrozen lake 😅

[snow flicker]

I see.

[wide topaz]

oh gosh lol. yeah, that'd be nice

my first impression was, I see fire, I should start a fire and unfreeze the lake. it's legend of zelda ocarina of time game theory flashback time

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message i have yet to find one of those with tetra lake 😭

[wide topaz]

I don't think that those spawn as tetra lake, do they?

[merry pebble]

I believe they sometimes can have one in the middle (think i saw one on some screen while ago)

[plush umbra]

i've heard claims of a thawed lake the size of a frozen lake, but haven't seen one myself and don't know where it fits into the rarity scale.
i know of two kinds of thawed lakes, only one of which existed in the original frost caves release. it's about the size of 2x2 rooms, which is still smaller than the frozen lake, and it's extremely rare.
then the fishing hat was added and thus tetra being gated behind this room that's so rare you have an average of about 1-2 per world became a little...questionable, and they added a new lake that's 1 room big and much more common, i often see people confuse that one for the extremely rare one 😅

[snow flicker]

I'm thinking I should watch videos and learn his attacks so that I can use the fenris armor and run away when I see an attack coming instead of using the padded
its not spoiling if its getting enemy intel 🥰

[wide topaz]

Yeah I'd found multiple of those tiny little tetra rooms

[merry pebble]

Thats why i suggested the tonic 🙂 it lets you be almost as fast as if you have 2 fenris pieces while still retaining WAY more armor

[snow flicker]

oh true

[merry pebble]

However if you use it **with ** the fenris armor you will know the true meaning of ***speed *** 😄

[plush umbra]

and i've only seen the original room once, i'm pretty sure it's a stair room leading straight down into the water, so i thought it was a trap you couldn't get out of and turned back, not marking the location or anything

[wide topaz]

Yeah I've never seen one of those

[merry pebble]

The one i have in mind was one of the big frozen lake rooms with a smaller lake/broken ice in the middle 😄

[plush umbra]

never seen that

[merry pebble]

I might be misremembering
-# again

[wide topaz]

are there any other super rare rooms/structures in valheim?

[gray sand]

Yagluth vegvisir is super rare 😄

[idle storm]

using the tonic and fenris means you can walk circles around him and stab him in the back while he tries to turn. Doesn't even try any attacks.
It's a little boring though so i don't recommend fighting him that way unless you get stuck.

[plush umbra]

hmmmm~ the 2x2 tetra lake is the rarest one i know of, i think it was something like a 1 in 200 chance?
(i remember the wording as 1 in 400, but that'd be kinda absurd considering the limit of frost caves per world is iirc somewhere around 160)

or maybe it's a 1 in 400 chance per room, or per specific section that has enough space for it, that'd be more reasonable

i know there's a variation of the frozen lake that i think is taller than usual, having another segment of stairs with an additional runestone on it. i've only seen that one once myself but never saw any datamined chances to misremember

[merry pebble]

I think i saw that one actually 🤔

[wide topaz]

interesting. i've been curious about what information is avialable through datamining

but not enough to commit lore crimes

[gray sand]

No mining needed. Winter knows all. 🙌

[plush umbra]

i think this is the runestone on that additional part of stairs

[wide topaz]

I guarantee that was written by Ulf

"fucking so tired of this shit" - ulf

[plush umbra]

man's gotta be more consistent about his signature

[wide topaz]

I want Ulf's deep north runestone to simply be "Help"

[plush umbra]

oh that'd be amazing

[fiery jacinth]

ngl I highly greatly envy everyone who picks this game up for the first time

[merry pebble]

It would fit 😄 but he has other stones in mistlands so either he got out after he wrote it or its someone else

[plush umbra]

i mean the author of that runestone is saying they didn't do it

[wide topaz]

Ulf is my hero. He's having a terrible time, but he's soldiering on, anyway.

[plush umbra]

-# but they're also admitting themselves a coward, which i doubt ulf would do

[wide topaz]

I've changed my mind on Thor being a worthy final boss. Ulf is my choice, now.

I do enjoy the lore being all these little details you can piece together. Though I'll admit I'm not very bright sometimes. I thought Gudrun was literally just an English language pun for "Well I had a good run"

[shy marlin]

I wonder if the final boss is gonna be the deep north boss or if there's gonna be one final cook either way i'm hyped

[wide topaz]

I would be surprised if that little pillar in the center of sacrificial stones didn't light up and send your ass either up into the sky or down to hell

I feel like, given players' interest in visiting the Yggdrasil, it would be a good place to have a final fight lol

[exotic swan]

was just thinking the same, idk what to play during this holiday break. There's really no other game like Val, but I also haven't played in like a year. Kinda too daunting to pick back up in the plains, but also tough to start all over... the first playthrough of this is oh so special

[fiery jacinth]

not gonna lie, what does it für me with Valheim is how they do the atmosphere and the world generation. All about it is just so incredibly beautiful, I can and will get lost in it for such a long time

[wide topaz]

I mean there's nothing to lose, right?

[plush umbra]

good worldgen and atmosphere blends beautifully with a good building system too~

[fiery jacinth]

oh yes, absolutely. Poor worldgen was what made me grow weary of no mans sky quite quickly but Valheim is beautiful all around

[wide topaz]

It's quite a strange game, honestly. There's nothing revolutionary about things like the combat or levelling system, which are typically the strongest focus in games like this. I'm really impressed by the focus on all of the systems and how they interact. Things like lighting, status effects, the physics engine

[fiery jacinth]

The mere fact that you have to make sure that you make a proper fire pit with ventilation in this game is already pretty insane

in a good way, mind you

[wide topaz]

I like the smoke in this game. It's an interesting problem, and has an interestingly simple solution.

I was a developer for one game where the smoke needed to move about randomly, so it was turned into an npc that would just 'walk' to different places, lol.

[fiery jacinth]

it's pretty interesting how they did it in this game for sure. I love the building in this game so much, the weather, the lighting, everything. It's an amazing experience

[wide topaz]

One thing that I wonder about is the rain, and the wet effect. Typically in games there's not necessarily meant to be 'bad' things, but rather, things that are are situationally bad, and situationally good. And I haven't really figured out anything about the rain that seems to be particularly useful. Zelda tried to solve rain being a net negative with the wet effect weaponry for example

It could just be that good game design does necessitate some design decisions that players don't like. frustration is sometimes just a part of building for satisfaction lol

[shy marlin]

wet status effect can protect you from fire damage

[wide topaz]

lol good point

[shy marlin]

but that's a very very optimistic or w/e lense

[wide topaz]

I'll start carrying around the build materials for a hot tub so I can take a mid gjall splash

[idle storm]

jumping in the ocean has saved my (feather cape wearing) butt a time or two in the mistlands 😂

[shy marlin]

I just always bring fire wine in mistlands

[idle storm]

also while mobs can't get wet from rain they do get wet from being immersed in water. And being wet gives weakness to both frost and lightning damage.

[idle storm]

i generally don't bother since dodging the fireballs isn't that hard. But nobody's perfect... 😂

[shy marlin]

idk fire wine is so cheap i don't mind being excessive with it

[idle storm]

it's not the mats, it's the inventory slot

same reason i rarely carry healing or stam mead

[shy marlin]

and ye idk half the time the gjalls don't even get a shot off before they're dead

[shy marlin]

idk i find it to be fine, i just drop seeker mats, but i understand the wanting a "free" inv slot

[idle storm]

i don't really need it though. I pretty much only pop mead for boss fights or lingering stam & eitr in Mistlands + Ashlands for QoL, otherwise it mainly gathers dust in a chest or barrel.

[shy marlin]

Fair, i just like being safe rather than sorry

[snow flicker]

odin is freaky sometimes. dude had spawned 4 different times within 10 minutes. why is this?

usually only once, but 4 times is crazy

[wind lark]

looking for swamp dungeons is obnoxious beyond comprehension

me and my best friend cleared 2 entire biomes without a single dungeon, and we have a hard time finding swamp biomes in general

kinda crazy, ngl

[fiery jacinth]

I do wonder. If you guys start a new world from scratch, do you take an existing character of yours or do you start with a pre-existing one? 🤔

[wind lark]

I use one for every run, so I can work to cap all my skills
my head canon is like a conqueror of worlds (?)

[lean mountain]

I beached my longboat on a mistland while exploring the world
Some giant bomber looking balloon is floating above me
I'm still in troll armor
I'm scared lol

[snow flicker]

new ones

[lean mountain]

Okay I was right the balloon thing does bomb you to death
Guess the longboat is gone now

[fiery jacinth]

Ah yes, that's a good first impression of the Mistlands

[native mantle]

So, I came across a video about how to use a mod manager on pirated copies of the game. I was wondering if there was someone I'd, I dunno, send a link to so they could get the video taken down or something? Just felt kind of skeevy seeing the video.

[gray sand]

Send it in a message to @dusky pivot with words of explanation.

[near furnace]

send to [e-mail]

modmail only handles discord moderation issues

[warm sandal]

I always start new world with new character, never did anything else 😄

[fiery jacinth]

yee I feel the same tbh

new world new character, just feels right

[warm sandal]

I am insane I tell ya... i made a caracter and world specifically for trying out building mods and such stuff... and now i find myself in the swamp on hard, playing the game... completele forgt i wanted to try new buildings 😄

[viral prairie]

I’ve only ever had one character. I like to think of it as different stories my guys encountered

[exotic swan]

if you bring an old character to a new world, can you bring items too? or is it only the characters stats

[vivid shale]

Items too

[exotic swan]

and only the current items on your character right? or I guess you can technically slowly transfer over?

[vivid shale]

Ye

Some people transfer ores that way. Take ores from one place, go to other world and place ores in chest, go back to original world and go thru portal. Once at base, go back to “other world” and get ores to original world. At that point, you should just turn on the option that allows portals to transfer you with ores.

[exotic swan]

okay I left my first character/world in the plains a year ago, trying to come back to the plains is daunting, but starting over from scratch is also pretty wild. I might try to meet in the middle by bringing some things over. or just play a fresh world with others.

[vivid shale]

Idk, at that point I think I would start over to re-familiarize myself with the game mechanics but with a resource multiplier on. Then turn it off at the plains

[wispy path]

do what makes you happy and that you enjoy

i really like the early game of valheim - it does get sloggy around the middle of swamps and middle of mountain

[exotic swan]

yeah im trying to meet in the middle cuz I love the challenge, but I also don't know if I can redo 100 hours of progress haha

[vivid shale]

Ye the resource multiplier would greatly accelerate ur progress

[exotic swan]

that is a good idea, I will consider that

[vivid shale]

And just switch it back to vanilla once you get to the plains if you prefer

[wispy path]

to me, the Swamp biome basically asks you if this is the game for you 😄

and for a lot of people, they say no right there

[vivid shale]

Ye the ramp up in difficulty is somewhat shocking the first time around

[exotic swan]

yeah that's the one thing where I was like shit idk if I can do perma rain again lol

I kinda do wanna play with friends though, ill give the LFG a shot

[vivid shale]

Valheim is almost an entirely different game when playing with other people

[exotic swan]

I've only played solo so far

[vivid shale]

Would recommend playing thru the game with a group

[wispy path]

yah, i agree. the game is more fun to me with people who can help with simple tasks like farming, smelting, resource gathering

[azure yacht]

Play the game solo first

[exotic swan]

I've played through the majority solo

I'm basically going for my 2nd play through now minus DLC

[wispy path]

no one needs to play the game solo first

[exotic swan]

@wispy path @vivid shale either of y'all looking for a fresh playthrough by chance?

[vivid shale]

The time it takes to get through the mist lands and ashlands equals or is even greater than the amount of time it takes to get through all the other biomes

[vivid shale]

Sorry mate, in the middle of a play through myself rn

[wispy path]

me no, i'm doing no portal, no map right now

[exotic swan]

all good, figured I would ask

[vivid shale]

#1024264966712340510 is a good place to look

[wispy path]

yah, there's usually a fresh start going on in the LFG

[vivid shale]

Tons of dedicated servers looking for people to join their vanilla play through all the time

[azure yacht]

They certainly do need

[azure yacht]

What DLCs?

[teal matrix]

Tfw when I've never played through solo cuz I'd rather play with my friends.

😂

[wispy path]

the game is great with friends, it's a video game, you do what you enjoy

[teal matrix]

Ye, was the point I was making as well. Lol

[wispy path]

rianu isn't very good with people, so he probably prefers to play by himself

[teal matrix]

Long as he's having fun. I'm currently waiting for my playgroup to be ready to take on Lord Retos quest

[shy marlin]

Literally doesn't matter, if they have more fun with friends then they should play with friends, if they have more fun being solo than they should play solo

[ancient agate]

Alright, I apologize if I have already asked this, but I have forgotten:

Has anyone done spawn prevention testing for the Forge or Workbench? I saw a test where they set a bunch of un-upgraded benches around a spot that isn't covered by the area and force a spawn to demonstrate it reliably appears there. But has anyone done a similar setup, then upgrade one bench to check and see if it increases the spawn prevention radius and covers that spot?

[wispy path]

it would seem counterintuitive to have 2 separate values linked to the workbench in the form of crafting radius and spawn prevention, whereas it would be intuitive to have radius control both spawning and crafting

[maiden haven]

when i turn on crossplay it says failed to loggin

anyone have cure for this poison

[azure yacht]

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

[keen cliff]

huh. so i decided to explore near the western edge of the map. the ocean started getting very rough, and i saw an iceberg. I'm fairly near the equator. And then it said the Deep North. What's with that?

[last escarp]

anyone got any reccomend mod for auto smelting and coal and recycle item mod

[odd helm]

That's one for #mods-discussion

[last escarp]

oh thanks

[ancient agate]

Thanks for this reply. I had already seen this page, but I had seen something elsewhere that asserted that build radius and spawn prevention radius were separate. Because of the conflict, I was hoping to get a first hand account from someone in here.

However, now I cannot find the other wiki page saying that they are separate. I will just trust this part of the wiki and your endorsement of it. Thanks again for the help!

I just noticed that the drakkar and the longship does not have the same stats. Was it always the case? Distintively remember them being the same aside for looks and one being resistant to heat.

[shy marlin]

Always the case yes

[wintry valve]

Weird, I have no idea why I thought it had the same stats

[nimble moss]

The wiki used to show them the same

[nimble moss]

You are correct, the wiki must have changed. They used to be identical on there…

[shy marlin]

They weren’t the same on the Ashlands ptb I know that to be a fact

[pliant hatch]

There has been a discussion about those stats a while (2-3 months) ago. So it's always possible someone changed the stats on the wiki to both ships having the same. But afaik they were different and still are.

@idle storm dude that sap outpost is crazy

[idle storm]

i know right 😂

also has both a gjall spawn and a seeker soldier spawn just over the hill
far enough to not be aggroed by running/building but close enough to easily farm

[shy marlin]

honestly jealous

[idle storm]

i spent hours exploring Mistlands without a wisplight, this was a fitting reward indeed

first i thought it was only 6 but there were two more in the mist i only discovered after killing Yag 😁

[hollow sparrow]

[shy marlin]

you need to change your default input settings

because they share the same input on default input settings

[hollow sparrow]

thx for ur reply

[lofty epoch]

[lofty epoch]

@gray sand I realize that, but thank you ✌️

[lean mountain]

sooo
when is the option to aim up included in the game?

[gray sand]

For melee? Never.

[lean mountain]

I fking love when a slime decides to camp on a mound and poison me to death while I'm stuck fighting draugrs

[gray sand]

For ranged? Already in the game.

[lean mountain]

he was behind a corner

[tiny tiger]

I recommend playing with headphones to hear enemies approach

[lean mountain]

literally untargetable poison trap

[tiny tiger]

Especially for mistlands

[gray sand]

Untargetable because he was inside a wall or behind an indestructible object?

[lean mountain]

on a high ridge behind a corner I couldn't shoot through

or ig I can shoot point blank while getting stabbed by draugrs
doubt that'd have made me live tho

[gray sand]

Reason you can't just ignore him?

[lean mountain]

well I want the crypt?

[tiny tiger]

Run in

[gray sand]

Kill the draugr while ignoring the blob?

[light moat]

Poison resist mead helps! 🙂

[tender topaz]

I need help tracking down a mod, I used to play on a server that had a mod that added copper nodes, the nodes were much smaller than the normal veins but I cant find the mod anywhere

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[plush umbra]

if the nodes looked like this, that makes it a lil harder because those are an unused vanilla object so plenty of mods could make those generate

[tender topaz]

Yeh

[final bloom]

Does anyone know if Shamans stop healing themself?
#screenshots message

@merry pebble , just edited the msg, I meant by the healing skill

[merry pebble]

Oh, then i dont think so

[final bloom]

They do throw the green powder into the air, but they are not healing...

[nocturne wolf]

So they’re using the attack but not gaining the healing effect?

[final bloom]

Yeah

[merry pebble]

I am not sure what causes it but tames also someties dont heal when they eat food, could be similar thing

[final bloom]

My plan was to collect like 4-5 of them, and keep attacking them for Skill levels, but they need to heal themself, otherwise they'll be dead

[nocturne wolf]

Try leaving the area and returning to reload them

[final bloom]

Doing it now, can I just teleport away, or the area need to be left for a while to actually unloads?

[nocturne wolf]

Teleporting away should work

[plush umbra]

bosses are great for levelling skills, especially ones with high resistances using bad weapons

[final bloom]

I think they need to be in a bigger room, took them out of that small pen and they started healing themself again

[pliant hatch]

Speaking of leveling skills, anyone know about how to raise farming skill fast?

[merry pebble]

Tbh, just farming large quantities, not sure you can actually make it go faster

[pliant hatch]

I just found a nice way using the cultivate / planting grass option.

Gained 4 levels while only making my 1st base better looking,

[merry pebble]

That raises it too? 👀

[pliant hatch]

Planting grass does, yes.

[merry pebble]

Hmm, and only while actually planting new grass or even planting over ground that already has grass?

[faint flare]

looking for a group to play with if anyone is intersted

[pliant hatch]

And you can "remove" the grass by cultivating the land, so an endless opportunity to keep leveling that skill.
All you need is a lvl 1 forge near you to repair the cultivator.

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[light moat]

Can just spam click on the same spot

[pliant hatch]

I planted grass on an plateau I have build for my base.
Just tested it on a plot I'm raising now, cultivate removes the grass, grass removes the cultivated ground.

So....... I think how to raise farming fast is pretty easy with a forge nearby.

[shy marlin]

Cultivate, then grass that cultivated land, rinse and repeat

Ah you found the solution, cheers

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, that's what I said a few lines below that comment.

[shy marlin]

Yea just got to it mb

[zealous glen]

hello everyone

[pliant hatch]

Now the irony of all of this is that I actually went in game to finish building the walls and towers of my 1st base.
Then I was like "I might as well add a few braziers in the towers to that looks more 'realistic' from a distance."
Then it was, "I might as well pave the roads to the entrances of the towers, the stairs of the wooden towers, and from my dock to the main building."
When that was done, I was like: "Might as well fill up the open spaces with grass so it looks more natural."
Followed by: "If I cultivate some land around my bee hives and plant seed carrots, turnips and onions there, it looks better too."
And it ended, "I might as well raise the platform for the Eitr refinery and Obliterator."
Which means the final step will be: "Time to build a stone bridge between my 1st base and that seperate platform for the destruction machines......."

And the best part of it, I don't even have black marble, so I even can't build that building. 🤦‍♂️

[light moat]

#screenshots message Damn, fenris set with wolf cloak and spooky hat looks awesome!

[tranquil glade]

I've played for a couple hours and know the very basics. Is that enough to jump into multiplayer? how do I find people to play with?

[wispy tree]

what piece of iron gear is most important to craft?

[pliant hatch]

It depends at the kind of group you're looking for.
Experienced players may not like to have a new player joining them, but there are plenty of other new players that might to hook up.

And for that you may have more luck in asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[pliant hatch]

Depends if you usually use heavy armor or light armor.

For the former, I'd say the chest piece as you got the speed penalty anyway.
For the latter I'd say, the helmet as that would boost your armor rating without the speed penalty.

[arctic garnet]

A mace might be good to start with if you're still in swamp tier and just started making iron gear. A lot of swamp creatures are either neutral or weak to its blunt damage. Blobs and skeletons, specifically, are weak to it.

[wispy tree]

well, I've been using the troll armor with a bronze helmet. So I guess I'm a light armor user.

[wispy tree]

I've been having a lot of issues dealing with draugr in particular, especially starred draugr hitting me hard even when blocking, I have the bone shield btw

[pliant hatch]

OK, wrong answer.

Start looking for the Abominations and get yourself Root Armor. It'll help a lot to deal with piercing damage, which is what those Draugr archers do.

[arctic garnet]

If you're confident in parrying, then an iron buckler can ward off harder hitting attacks like that more likely.

[wispy tree]

don't I need something to not take damage in mountains?

Also I watched a few videos of guys playing valheim and they got absolutely shredded by wolves while wearing iron armor, So I don't have much hope with that

[arctic garnet]

Oh, abominations are weak to axes, so bring one agains them.

[pliant hatch]

Or fire arrows is you prefer to fight at a distance.

[wispy tree]

I also have my bronze axe on me, but good to know

[plush umbra]

they're neutral to slash and immune to chop like all other enemies, so swords and axes are the best choices, but swords are overall better weapons so if it's melee dps you want, swords are best

[arctic garnet]

You can also lure them over to a fire geyser which chews them up and it's funny watching them get incinerated.

oh wait, yeah, they're not weak to axes. I guess it is just the slashing damage, in which case a sword will be preferable.

they're just neutral and resistant to pierce and maybe blunt*[citation needed]*

[plush umbra]

-# that said, coming out of the black forest, you're more likely to have an axe than a sword since an axe is "required", so whether making a sword just for this one enemy is worth it is subjective

[pliant hatch]

My turn to ask a question. 😄

Do Wisp torches need to be refueled like the other torches or not?

[plush umbra]

nope

but they're also the only torch that neither spawnproofs nor is attacked on sight by calm enemies

makes them great for exploration since you don't have to worry about them being destroyed behind you, but it does mean you can't use them to keep your base safe

[plush umbra]

(and yea, x0.5 resistant to blunt and x0.25 very resistant to pierce)

[pliant hatch]

I'm planning to create a channel in this meadow area I got my base in, as the water is occasionally too shallow.
Was thinking to put up core wood logs with torches on top to mark where it is.
Without having to worry that I need to go out there and refuel the torches once in a while.

So if Wisp torches don't need refueling, I've got to bring in my other character to craft them. Otherwise I might as well wait until this character gets to Mistlands. (which may be 2026 with my current progress. 😄 )

[plush umbra]

dvergr lanterns also don't need to be refueled but those are attacked on sight by calm enemies and don't even spawnproof to make up for that...for some reason

[pliant hatch]

If I put them high enough in the water it may work. Unless I get a raid with archers, I think. I'll consider it.

Thanks for the help. 🙂

[wispy tree]

it seems like a really bad idea to get close to one in general

[wispy tree]

already have a bronze sword 🤷‍♂️

[plush umbra]

once you learn their patterns, their 3 attacks become easy to predict for parries or dodgerolls

[pliant hatch]

They're just similar to trolls, only looking different. So you can fight them the same way you're fighting trolls.
Just keep in mind that once you got into the mountains, you will have to fight a big monster up close and personal as those are very resitant to pierce damage.

Which is why I hate those buggers.

[wispy tree]

so is it pointless to bring an axe into the swamp?

[plush umbra]

standing in front of them, they'll do either a quick whip attack with one arm, or a slow stomp with the other.
hugging them causes them to do their stump-pound, which is slow and telegraphed by a low grumbling noise.
the whip attack is their weakest

[plush umbra]

you do need quite a bit of a unique type of wood found here, though technically abominations could cut down trees for you

[arctic garnet]

If you're not ready for it, it is. But it's a lot faster than arrows, even fire arrows.

[pliant hatch]

No, you can still use it to chop down of the ancient trees to get the Ancient bark.
But at the same time, Ancient bark can also be found in chests in the Sunken Crypts, so there's no real need to chop down trees there.

[arctic garnet]

It's true, I have more ancient bark than I know what to do with from crypt loot and abominations.

[pliant hatch]

You can use it to create a raiding fleet of Longships...... 👼

[plush umbra]

i had a little bit of a shortage this run from making two root sets and the crystal battleaxe 😅

[wispy tree]

well it's a bronze axe, so idk if its strong enough for that

[plush umbra]

i always use the bronze axe for aboms

[pliant hatch]

btw, @wispy tree if you're in a swamp, try to look for the Bogwitch as well.
She offers some good items to make longer lasting food; which works well when combined with swamp food.
