[plush umbra]

oh wait, the trees, yea it is enough

the iron axe is one of those weird items that nearly everyone seems to make but isn't actually required for any progression step, the next axe tier you need for a new tree is 2 biomes later

[wispy tree]

brother, I explore like a goldfish in a bowl

Also the never ending cavalcade of crafting stations is becoming very irritating

[pliant hatch]

You won't find me all over the map either.
But in case of the traders I think it's worth it to start looking for them.

[wispy tree]

btw, what food should I be using on my swamp sorties? I've been eating basically nothing but jam, deer, and boar

I finally have some carrots now, so I could probably make carrot soup

[pliant hatch]

Don't use all your carrots, but keep replanting them until you got about 30 seeds.
After that you can use 10 carrots to plant for seeds and the other 20 for food. As there are two - later three - kinds of food needing carrots.

[wispy tree]

my base is still a bit too small to plant that many carrots, I think I have maybe 12 planted

[pliant hatch]

And since you're in the swamp, look for a flower with a similar look as the carrots, but yellow this time.
Because you will need it.
Also, pick up thistle and when you kill draugr or leeches, their drops as they will give you new food too.

[wispy tree]

turnips and entrails right? Is the thistle used for more than just mead?

[pliant hatch]

You will need the thistle with the entrails.

[wispy tree]

I didn't get a popup when I got entrails, so I assume I need that new crafting station for food too

[plush umbra]

just an upgrade for the cauldron - the spice rack

made from turnips, carrots, thirstle, red mushrooms and dandelions

[wispy tree]

oh, I mean the food prep table

[craggy niche]

Is it necessary to kill dvergar in the mistlands or just for extra murderhobo XP?

[plush umbra]

that's for things that go into the oven (which you won't have for another few biomes) or feasts

sausages are made at the cauldron, it just needs to be level 2

[wispy tree]

ohhh okay

[plush umbra]

baits are also crafted at the food prep table but i think that's it, so if you neither encounter the bog witch nor fish, the food prep table probably isn't useful until after the 4th boss, unless i'm forgetting something

[pliant hatch]

Once you've found the Bog Witch you can consider building the food prep table and prepare feasts.

[wispy tree]

is the mace considered a club?

[plush umbra]

and fortunately the mead ketill and food prep table don't get any upgrades later on, only the cauldron is levelled

[plush umbra]

yes

[wispy tree]

ballin

[craggy niche]

Bait for fishing anti sting meads though

[wispy tree]

you know, I spent all this time building a stone wall aroud my base, the next time the ground starts shaking, those blue boys better not wreck my house

[plush umbra]

i always go out and lead em in a circle (only 2 can spawn at a time during that invasion, and whenever you kill one, another spawns) and then kill them after the invasion ends

[wispy tree]

I've just been wildly unlucky lately

[hasty crater]

how do you find the bog witch?

Does she spawn somewhere specific or is she just random

[plush umbra]

10 possible locations per world, whichever one you get near first is where she spawns and stays forever, the other 9 are deleted. she's automatically marked as soon as her chunk generates, so the discovery radius is pretty wide but not entirely consistent.
all locations are randomly placed in swamps at least 3000 meters from the world's center

(the world's radius is 10500 meters for reference)

[wispy tree]

is boar jerky worth making?

[plush umbra]

imo yes but most people don't use it since its stat sum is lower than other foods you get at that stage

the draw to jerky is how long it lasts and how incredibly cheap it is to make

so it's slightly worse than other black forest foods, but basically free to make

[merry pebble]

Yep, works great as base food for that point in a game 🙂

[plush umbra]

it's one of my most-eaten foods even outside of bases, but i have some "unique" food preferences in valheim

[wispy tree]

seems like a pretty good staple to me

I really hate setting out from my home. The potential that I'll need to run all the way back to my corpse just kills the exploration for me

[dim wave]

Hello

I began playing the game like 3 days ago, I'm enjoying it a lot, got 30+ days in-game so far

I just reached the bronze age

And im thinking about armour, what armour would you guys recommend? Or do i need to get an armour for every purpose/biome maybe?

[wispy tree]

I've been using troll leather armor personally

[plush umbra]

since every biome's enemies have more damage and health than the previous one's, you're expected to make new sets as you progress, but it's not a requirement, and some light armor sets offer unique bonuses that may be worth keeping around long after their tier

[fossil oar]

Carapace armor is the first heavy armor i would even consider making

[plush umbra]

most biomes have a light armor set and a heavy armor set, for the black forest that would be troll hide armor and bronze armor

[wispy tree]

@dim wave figure out how to make a cart and use it, you'll need it for all the copper and tin you'll be needing

[plush umbra]

though it is very much up to preference, i personally can't say i would ever recommend making bronze armor myself 😅
you already get the full -10% movement speed from it being metal armor, but the defense difference between bronze and troll hide is still so tiny, and many would consider bronze to be one of the least enjoyable resources to grind

[dim wave]

I made one, the cart

[wispy tree]

nice

[dim wave]

Haven't used yet

Cause my boys got a Karve ship

[fossil oar]

Only bronze things i make are a level 1 weapon and axe

[wispy tree]

I used my Karve to gather a boat load of tin haha

[fossil oar]

/ whatever crafting upgrades

[dim wave]

Yeah our first trip was for copper and tin as well

[wispy tree]

Oh, Frog, think about making a bronze helmet

[dim wave]

Hmm why?

[wispy tree]

it has no movement penalty

[dim wave]

Okey sounds good

My friend made a bronze full set and said it was bad, i think because he was slow

[wispy tree]

Oh, and these boys already educated me on the glories of building a bronze mace

[dim wave]

Do share about the mace

[gray sand]

Bronze Armor is great.

[dim wave]

Why?

[wispy tree]

it's good for the next biome

[dim wave]

Snow or swamp?

[wispy tree]

swamp. Snow comes after

[gray sand]

Good protection and it is shiny.

[plush umbra]

-# it's only like 6 more defense

[dim wave]

I see

[wispy tree]

it's completely ridiculous how beautiful this game is sometimes

[fossil oar]

Better than the bronze pickaxe at least
Biggest scam in the game

[gray sand]

Bronze pick is also great.

[dim wave]

I plan on going for more burrier chambers, any suggestions on whats the best method to deal with skeletons? And them big ones in the chambers?

[gray sand]

Skeletons are weak to Blunt. So Club, Mace, or Stagbreaker.

[fossil oar]

Bronze pickaxe cant mine anything the antler cant and the antler has effectively infinite durability

[dim wave]

Hmm i thought they were weak to fire so i kept shooting the flame arrows

[gray sand]

Everything has effectively infinite durability.

[fossil oar]

Not when it needs a forge to repair

[plush umbra]

but the bronze pick's infinite durability is gated behind either travelling through a portal or taking a forge to the crypt

not to mention the antler pick's so cheap you can easily make like 4 of them

[gray sand]

There is nothing wrong with the bronze pick.

If you, personally, hate it. That is for you, personally.
It does not give you credence to state that it is objectively bad.

[fossil oar]

It is though... Its literally just a downgrade

[dim wave]

Can someone teach me how food works? Sometimes my stamina is returning very fast and sometimes not i feel like food might have a play here

[gray sand]

It is not.

[tacit crystal]

They are also weak against fire. So basic torches work too.

[plush umbra]

being wet or cold slows down health and stamina regeneration, being rested or resting speeds it up

you get "rested" after 20 uninterrupted seconds of "resting", which you get by sitting at a fire or if you also have shelter, sitting isn't required

[fossil oar]

It doesn't do anything better than the antler and it comes with a giant downside

[dim wave]

They hit me harder than i hit them and there's more of them guarding the cores

[gray sand]

It picks harder and has more durability.
TWO things it does better.

Care to try again?

[wispy tree]

I just made the bronze pick, and I think it was worth it

I upgraded it too

[nocturne wolf]

You can get through sunken crypts much faster

[tacit crystal]

I like to craft Bronze pick in case if I encounter Leviathans early, because it has more pickaxe power and they break those abyssal nodes quicker.

[fossil oar]

Again, antler has infinite durability

[plush umbra]

unlike health regen, stamina regen isn't directly affected by the kinds of food you eat, but more max stamina does still equal faster regeneration because regeneration speed depends on the percentage of stamina you have left, so there's a longer duration of the low % speed

[gray sand]

That is an objectively false statement.

[tacit crystal]

Fire and blunt work against them well, so fire arrows are also valid option. I recommend having Stagbreaker thought.

[fossil oar]

You can find 14 wood literally anywhere

[gray sand]

That doesn't make it infinitely durable.

[wispy tree]

I'm liking it for digging out hills around my base and mining more copper faster.

[plush umbra]

but i can bring about 3 antler picks to a crypt for no additional cost

[dim wave]

I have it crafted, but if u had to choose between bronze mace and a stag which one is best?

[gray sand]

Winter... you are aware of the fact it is a matter of opinion.
I would ask you stop supporting the person who is presenting it as factual.
Please 💛

[plush umbra]

all pickaxes mine terrain the same way 😅 the bronze pick just deals slightly more damage to rocks

[wispy tree]

is there no way to cultivate blueberries at my home

[plush umbra]

sev you came in here calling it great

[gray sand]

Stag.

[plush umbra]

no

[dim wave]

Damn alr

[wispy tree]

Now that is sad to learn

[dim wave]

Does it oneshot them maybe?

[gray sand]

To prove it is a matter of opinion.
One person thinks something is ass, another thinks it is great.

The truth lies in the middle with it simply being, and interpretation going to the individual's preference.

[tacit crystal]

You can "cheese" with Stagbreaker behind doors and hit multiple targets in area without multitarget penalty but for single target damage Bronze mace is better.

[arctic garnet]

kinda wish raspberries and especially blueberries were as... everywhere as cloudberries

[gray sand]

AoE. Good for fighting multiples.

[dim wave]

Yo, does anyone know how raiding works cause i have a house seperate from my friends but so far they got raided twice and me not a single time

[dim wave]

Thats handyyyy thanks

[plush umbra]

well you didn't make that very clear

[light moat]

Having some rough luck this go around- 25 or so cultists dead an no trophy. RNG be like that sometimes.

[gray sand]

🙄

[ancient agate]

It's based on how many base items you have within a 40m radius (3 or more) and if you're near them when it checks

[dim wave]

Sooo chests?

[wise night]

its waaaaaaay easier to set up a workbench than a forge on the go and that is a fact not an opinion

[ancient agate]

No, Workbenches, Campfires, Torches and several other things. There is a handy pinned link about base security

[dim wave]

Okey, so I can't hide from raids, how do i defend, I don't want my pretty house to get ruined?

[gray sand]

When have you ever been mining "on the go"??

[dim wave]

In which channel is the pin?

[ancient agate]

It CAN be hidden if it is minimalist, lol, but I understand. Digging a trench or raising a terrain wall stop many early raids in their tracks

[plush umbra]

#valheim-chat message right up there, one of the last links in the message

[wise night]

so you go gather copper fpr a forge near every 2-3 crypts swamps u find? or do u use the map reveal and go straight to he ones with 20 crypts? or are u lucky? i wont be setting a forge for 3 crypts

[light moat]

Y’all still going on about pickaxes? 😅

[gray sand]

I'm so lost...

[plush umbra]

look up at yggdrasil, that's a vague indicator

[wispy tree]

make the big wooden walls and surround your base with them and make two big gate doors

[gray sand]

Decode the secrets of the tree to find iron? 👀

[wispy tree]

this will work until after you beat The Elder

[ancient agate]

Hold on, really?

[gray sand]

No.

Winter attempted to be punny.

[dim wave]

Aren't they gonna get broken down tho?

[dim wave]

We beat the elder today

[ancient agate]

They are very strong compared to regular walls and mobs prefer to attack the gate

[plush umbra]

since walls aren't among the things that are attacked on sight by calm enemies, that would only be a risk during invasions, which should have you out there and distracting the enemies anyway

[wispy tree]

yes but it's easy to repair them, besides those raids are really easy so you can just go outside your base and face them

[dim wave]

My friend sailed to a swamp with a raft

Died and then apparently his scent caused a raid at the house and there were many deaths

[ancient agate]

RIP, it is harder to deal with raids without your stuffs

[dim wave]

He was defending alone until we arrived but at that point he was almost getting spawn killed

[plush umbra]

best (probably incidental) insult i've heard in a while

[dim wave]

When can one build stone walls?

[gray sand]

Swamp.

[plush umbra]

once you obtain 2 iron, you can make a stonecutter, which allows you to build with stone

[dim wave]

I see

[gray sand]

Stone being gated that late is one of the true tragedies of the game.

[wispy tree]

on god, it rains sooooo much

[plush umbra]

it's the end of the first third of the game

[gray sand]

What does rain have to do with anything?

[wispy tree]

I hate it in this game

[gray sand]

Yeah and I usually have like 1k stone before I can build with it 😭

[gray sand]

Hate leads to suffering.

[plush umbra]

i don't think that's a common problem to have 😅

[dim wave]

How far away do the raids spawn from my house, cause i want to know id building a wall like 100 meters away or more is viable or are they just gonna spawn inside of the walls

[plush umbra]

but also a small castle eats 1000 stone for breakfast

[gray sand]

Exactly.

[plush umbra]

if the inside is spawnproofed, they can't spawn inside

[ancient agate]

They would spawn inside, they spawn as close as they can to you spawn prevention caused by your base items

[dim wave]

How do i spawn proof

[ancient agate]

So don't go 100m away from your spawn prevention to build a wall

[plush umbra]

with player base structures such as workbenches, torches, campfires, etc.

my spreadsheet shows which structures are and aren't player base

[dim wave]

Yeah but how big of a radius do they spawnproof

[plush umbra]

20 meters, spherical

[ancient agate]

Each of those has 20m radius of spawn prevention by default

[plush umbra]

same as the build radius of an unupgraded workbench

[ancient agate]

Are they not cylindrical now? I thought some update made them go all the way up

[gray sand]

Winter has a spreadsheet? I AM SO PROUD!!

[plush umbra]

i think that's the build radius

but there were some inconsistencies between the build radius and spawnproof radius of upgraded workbenches i wanted to look at

so i'm gonna go do that right now if my CPU will humour me today

[gray sand]

PROUD!

[plush umbra]

scarlet and i split her sheet shortly after the bog witch update since it was getting pretty cluttered, and i took the chance to add a bunch more info to the comfort section, expanding it into building as a whole and providing security info as well~

[wispy tree]

How long does a poison res mead last?

[gray sand]

It is pinned so I can find later?

[dim wave]

How do i understand this ?

[merry pebble]

Please do! I still cant shake of the feeling they should be the same now, though i know they werent always.

[dim wave]

I see security, but are the ones checked who provide security?

[plush umbra]

yes, same message hers is in

[ancient agate]

I was literally asking about that yesterday, lol. I haven't tested anything with the various commands, have only played default survival without, but I am super curious

[plush umbra]

10 mins

[plush umbra]

the blue checkmarks mean that something prevents enemy spawns, and the red checkmarks mean that something is attacked on sight by calm enemies

most player base structures are also attacked on sight, only a few aren't, such as campfires

[ancient agate]

It should put a buff timer in the top right of your hud

[plush umbra]

the rest need to be hidden

[dim wave]

There's very few things that spawnproof

[gray sand]

🤨

[dim wave]

I won't like having walls so close with trenches behind them

How deep do the trenches need to be, and can i fill them with water?

[wispy tree]

technically yes you can, but filling them with water is probably only possible at water level

[dim wave]

Yeah thats fine

Also how deep of a hole can i dig down?

[plush umbra]

@merry pebble @ancient agate the build radius is cylindrical, but the spawnproof radius is still spherical.
however, i remember when this feature was initially introduced, the spawnproof radius didn't increase with the build radius, which it now does.

[wispy tree]

you know what, I think I'm gonna stop making queen's jam and just eat honey or carrots instead

[pliant hatch]

That's why I turn an island into a plateau and build on that.
If the island is far enough from the shore, you can build walls at the edges of the plateau and don't have to bother with anything entering it.

[ancient agate]

It's one of the trade-offs. If you want a build safe from (most) raids, keep most player base items unbuilt.

If you want a big, base with many benches ready to go, it will be raided if you are near from time to time, so you must choose how to defend it.

If the effective methods of protection are unseemly or inconvenient, you risk rebuilding the more vulnerable areas

[plush umbra]

8 meters down from the terrain's original shape (it remembers that)

[ancient agate]

That's the max change in either direction

[plush umbra]

yepp

[ancient agate]

Walls and trenches can be effective at half that

[dim wave]

Okey wait so what's the worse possible raid that can happen

[ancient agate]

Though it does depend on if your build is tall and enemies shooting fireballs

[near furnace]

trolls if you aren't prepared for it

or bats if you have alot of livestock

[ancient agate]

... Yes and no, Trolls are able to damage structures faster than many stronger foes

[dim wave]

Bruh

[plush umbra]

kinda subjective.
personally i think trolls. they may not deal much damage, but i use a lot of wood, and their attacks have huge hitboxes that go through structures.
naturally, as a threat against the player, lategame invasions are much worse, but most of them don't have as much destructive potential

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-troll-trolled-gaming-gif-20292471

[idle storm]

the sealed tower one can be pretty rough too if you don't have a moat

[dim wave]

Id a troll comes rn im done with the game

[merry pebble]

I'd argue drakes are worse but those will get disabled eventualy 😄

[ancient agate]

Godspeed on those random tables

[gray sand]

Griefers.

[ancient agate]

Troll seems to happen to me more than anything else

[dim wave]

Okey wait

Is there a material that can't be broken by raids?

[plush umbra]

considerind invasions have an equal chance depending on which ones you can currently get, that's some bad luck 😅

[near furnace]

nope

[gray sand]

No.

[plush umbra]

no, only terrain can do that

[dim wave]

Bruh

[foggy glacier]

Earthen walls.

[gray sand]

Frog, just turn raids off. Simple.

[plush umbra]

later materials have more health and better resistances, but nothing is unbreakable, and enemies also deal more damage as you progress

[dim wave]

here go my dreams of building a beautiful huge viking village

[gray sand]

Turn raids off.

[plush umbra]

yea you could just turn raids off

[idle storm]

you can. You just have to go out to defend it when a raid comes

Enemies only attack your buildings if they can't get to you

[ancient agate]

Huge distant terrain wall and maaaany hidden campfires and torches are in your future

[plush umbra]

or you could spawnproof every inch of loaded terrain, true 😅

[arctic garnet]

I turned raids off. Mostly because bat raids are the most annoying thing in the entire game and wipe large amounts of livestock without much counterplay besides cram all your animals in a sealed barn with no openings at all except a door you keep closed.

[dim wave]

But thats partially ugly

Can raids swim?

[ancient agate]

It can be hidden with style, but yes largely

[plush umbra]

most yes, some undead walk at the bottom of the sea

[arctic garnet]

You can also vibe on a small island that's large enough for your home/village but small enough that nothing will spawn around outside of it.

[dim wave]

Bruh

[gray sand]

Frog, trust. Your solution to building what you want to build and enjoying it is just to turn them off.

[idle storm]

you can hide terrain walls inside stone walls. The stone walls can still get destroyed but your base behind them is safe

[plush umbra]

that's usually what i do, but one day i also wanna do a raidless playthrough in which i can just make a cute lil build without worrying about defenses at all

[dim wave]

Don't the raids spawn on the sea floor tho?

[arctic garnet]

That's about what my friends and I are doing right now. But we're pretty easy on some other difficulty settings too like death penalty.

[plush umbra]

some of them can.
i think undead still need to spawn on land, they can just walk underwater, but flying enemies funnily enough can spawn underwater, which makes them impossible to spawnproof against on a small island because spawnproofing stops working under 2 meters of water

[arctic garnet]

They shouldn't, I've not had that happen. Undead can walk under water along the bottom, but that doesn't mean they'll spawn there I think.

[dim wave]

I hate this feature

[plush umbra]

you can turn it off

[dim wave]

Thats not okey tho

[idle storm]

i've had bat raids trigger on a spawnproofed island and no bats spawned

[wispy tree]

is there a way to smooth out slopes?

[plush umbra]

is it? i mean, up to you

[arctic garnet]

I think it is okay. I mean, there's some raids I wish I could specifically turn off, but this seems okay.

[plush umbra]

i think it's okay, the game's building system is too beautiful to have to put defenses around everything

[idle storm]

hold shift while using the hoe

[dim wave]

I don't want to dial down the game's difficulty, but i also want some security

[plush umbra]

the game doesn't want you to have security unfortunately 😅
but you can turn off raids without turning down the difficulty in other areas at least

[arctic garnet]

Best thing you can do is the workarounds and tricks like earthworks/walls/trenches or building on convenient land features like small islands to achieve raid defense/denial.

[wispy tree]

uhhh, how does that work

[dim wave]

Yeah but that's ugly or it doesn't protect 100%

[plush umbra]

and i've had plenty of dripping wet bats and drakes fly up to my most recent solo base, but nothing else ever came 😅

[arctic garnet]

that's true, but is what it is. I'm not sure what I could suggest to you or the devs that'd be viable or worth implementing for this niche goal.

[idle storm]

look up valheim terraforming on youtube, there's some good video tutorials

[wispy tree]

sure

[dim wave]

If I don't progress, will raids still get more difficult?

[plush umbra]

they're advanced by enemy kills, mostly bosses

[arctic garnet]

Raids have certain triggers, some world events like killing your first bat or having killed a certain tier boss.

[plush umbra]

every boss has one invasion that's meant to hint towards the boss. that invasion is enabled after the previous boss and disabled after this boss is slain.
but some bosses also add additional invasions that never stop happening

for example the troll invasion can start happening after the elder and at least 1 troll have died in that world, but nothing ever disables it again

[dim wave]

We killed both

[idle storm]

honestly there's maybe 1 or 2 raids that are actually dangerous once you know what you're doing. Worst case just hop into a portal to take a rest break whenever you need one.

[plush umbra]

"the forest is moving" starts after eikthyr is killed but stops after the elder is killed

[gray sand]

Eikthyr has the best raid.

[dim wave]

What raid is that

[gray sand]

Boars.

[plush umbra]

boars and necks

[arctic garnet]

Free boar and neck meat

[idle storm]

Eikthyr raid is just free food delivery

[dim wave]

Oh

[arctic garnet]

It's Valheim Uber but you cook it yourself.

[dim wave]

I had that raid happen, defended tho

[gray sand]

UberMeats 😁

[foggy glacier]

I always build a base first thing with workbench, fire and bed so that it'll happen, but it never does for me.

[idle storm]

Same for greydwarfs really, once you have some leather armor they're no threat. And you can always use more greydwarf eyes imo.

[plush umbra]

gosh same, i've had it maybe twice in actual normal gameplay

[merry pebble]

I think i had it happen only once 😄 usually Eik is killed too quickly

[plush umbra]

and i don't even kill eikthyr quickly! as everywhere else in life, i take my sweet time with everything

-# oh goodness gracious i forgot i had valheim running, thank god my PC's still kicking

[gray sand]

I have full Bronze Armor before Winter kills Eikthyr 😛

[dim wave]

How do u make text gray

[plush umbra]

-# like this

only works at the start of a line

[dim wave]

-# hmmm

[plush umbra]

and i have troll armor before then :>

[dim wave]

Since when is this a feature lol

[gray sand]

Plz don't spam it though.

[plush umbra]

somewhat recently

[merry pebble]

I just want the pickaxe as fast as i can so i can start preparing ground for a base in any way i need 😄 (tho lately i try to make at least a bit of use from the natural terrain 🙂 )

[gray sand]

Oh you have no idea how much of a no-life farmer I am when I am playing 😛

[plush umbra]

and i enjoy hunting trolls with a flint knife

while looking for blueberries

[dim wave]

Whats the worse raid that can attack me before i kill 3rd boss?

[gray sand]

I do need berries...

[plush umbra]

i kinda wonder if that oak experiment from a few weeks ago damaged my CPU it'd be pretty funny

[near furnace]

I've done the testing on Oak drops

it's fine

[plush umbra]

well i did too

and yea they're fine, the wiki seems to be entirely correct

[gray sand]

F5
spawn Smiffe

😭

[plush umbra]

#valheim-public-test message it starts here

[gray sand]

"You don't have access to this link" 😛

[plush umbra]

it's in the public test channel, you just need to click on the thingy in id:customize

[merry pebble]

Heh, you are not public tester aparently 😄

[gray sand]

Oh I know. I am not in certain channels on purpose.

[plush umbra]

actually i can just link the last clip - 400 oaks https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/831071697817305128/1312459198323359784/Valheim_2024-11-30_17-39-05.mp4?ex=67699361&is=676841e1&hm=3be0d04db6dd5589b0b100a1e49128c1edd6604b48b49c43a7d268a04df1b8d4&

[gray sand]

Nice axe 😉

[craggy niche]

All I see is slideshow. Are you sure PowerPoint is installed correctly?

[plush umbra]

no :>

[craggy niche]

488 seeds / 400 oak = 1.22 seeds / oak. Seems less than the quoted 1.25 for the sample size.

[wispy tree]

Do I need to worry about greydwarfs breaking my boat while I'm not around?

[craggy niche]

Possibly some slideshow loss?

[plush umbra]

but the previous 3 tests came out above 1.25.
considering the many factors involved in that outcome, it's very likely for it to vary, but the average seems to be 1.25, which checks out with the calculations

[craggy niche]

Sounds like good viking science to me

[merry pebble]

Well, the 400 is not exatly gigantic sample size 😄 for that number 1,22 is close enough

[plush umbra]

yea, with this many factors, the only sample size i'd be happy with is something around 10000, but i wanted to give my PC a break

[dim wave]

Is it possible to share a world save with someone else so that they could play

[dim wave]

Whats the goal with this?

[merry pebble]

Yep, you need to go to C:\Users\ "your user name" \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim and there you should see worlds_local folder, if there isnt that means you have it on cloud but you can move it to local in game 🙂 (the appdata folder is normaly invisible tho)

[plush umbra]

if i remember correctly, someone was doubting the oak tree wiki page's info on acorn drops.
i wasn't certain at the time but i did believe it to be correct after doing a lil bit of math, and i'm pretty sure it is

here's what the wiki says, without much explanation 😅

[craggy niche]

I wonder how many players bother to chop more than 100 oak trees to begin with

[dim wave]

If ur running scenarios, instead of running one right after the other u can try to run a scenario every 5 something's and then based on those results run some more tests when the graph line curves

Can we plant trees btw?

[plush umbra]

i believe it's meant to be read as

• 50% chance for extra drops on top of wood (the lower 3 rolls are extra drops, the first 3 are guaranteed)
• then 50/50 between 2 and 3 drops
• then 40% for each of those individually to be acorns
• then 50/50 for it to be 2 or 3 acorns
  (running it like this, it comes out to an average of 1.25, which matches the number on the page)

[plush umbra]

yes, you need a cultivator

[dim wave]

Where do i get bees from

[plush umbra]

but most trees don't drop seeds at a sustainable rate, that's why acorns came up - they're the only non-beech tree that has a seed drop average of above 1

[dim wave]

I got some on singleplayer but idk where to look for em on the server

[plush umbra]

you can sometimes find beehives in meadows ruins (very rarely also in one black forest structure)
simply break them to obtain a queen bee, do note that the bee usually drops above the hive and thus sometimes on top of the roof

[dim wave]

Ye

[craggy niche]

Oak doesn't spawn in large quantities though, so Law of Large Numbers Trees may not apply at all

[dim wave]

So i just gotta get lucky then?

[plush umbra]

yepp, listen for buzzing while you're out and about~

[dim wave]

Also what are the best foods to eat? Cause im currently eating some deer and berries and bore meat

[craggy niche]

I'd be interested in knowing the average number of oaks spawned in a world. I would guess less than 100.

[dim wave]

Is oak rare?

[shy marlin]

I think you underestimate that number

the world is pretty massive

[craggy niche]

The world is massive, but meadows is not the world

[plush umbra]

iiit's definitely more than 100, they just blend in well from afar

meadows cover a lot more ground than you'd think

[craggy niche]

Again, it's a guess. I would be interested in an actual count.

[plush umbra]

they only stop generating at 5500 meters from the center, which is more than half the world's radius

[plush umbra]

true, i am too

didn't kirilloid have some test results on prefab amounts somewhere

probably lost in the january wipe

[wispy tree]

broooo 19 scrap iron in a friggin dungeon chest

[plush umbra]

RNG may taketh away, but it also giveth

[gray sand]

RNG always giveth.
Just not always what you want it to give 😉

[light moat]

Meanwhile I’m still looking for a cultist trophy…

[merry pebble]

I should have some spares if you want xD

RNGeezus was good to me with those in this run 😄

[light moat]

Thank you! But I must earn it 💪

[wispy tree]

I'm on my second sunken crypt and I have 54 scrap iron and 51 ancient bark

[pliant hatch]

That's most likely enough Ancient Bark for your entire playthrough.

Iron, however........... Most likely 10% of what you are going to need.

[merry pebble]

I would say closer to 1-2% 😄

[pliant hatch]

Depends at how much you will need for building, I s'pose.
I just build an entire bridge without using any iron, other as for the stonecutter.
So that saved me a lot.

[merry pebble]

I mean, its always better to have more iron than you really need 😄 and while i dont really build with it i usually upgrade all iron stuff to max which is mostly unnecessary

[snow flicker]

is there even enough caves in the world to max out 2 sets of fenris armor?
the hair seems really scarce for me.

[merry pebble]

Yes there should be more than enough, but the RNG might be finnicky sometimes 🙂

[snow flicker]

noted

Probably just going to more marked Howling caverns at the risk of getting mauled of mister geir

[pliant hatch]

You do know you can harvest Fenris hair from the "banners" you see hanging down?
And not just the hair from the braids at the bottom, but also when you shoot the banners so they can be destroyed?

[snow flicker]

Yes, I know this

usually just gives me 2 hair though

for bottom and the top pieces of hair. Im only usually getting 1-2 rooms per cave

[pliant hatch]

I've done 5 frost caves so far. Got enough hair out of it to craft the entire set, plus the first upgrade and still have 32 hair left.
So if not mistaken that's 107 in total.

But I had one or two frost caves giving me an ample 20 hair, so I guess the Sadistic Number Generator is working against you.

[snow flicker]

seems so

unfortunately, maybe ill get lucky in the howling cave

[wispy path]

that says 2-3 acorns per tree, but you can get up to 8...

[plush umbra]

2-3 extra drops, all 3 of which can theoretically be 2-3 acorns each.
so the maximum is 9
(the wiki page really could be clearer about that)

[wispy path]

ah, gotcha

[dim adder]

in my experience starting a oak tree farm has been very lucrative. lots of wood and fine wood right outside my doorstep and it will likely keep going for a long time if you start with a dozen or so

[plush umbra]

it is statistically speaking sustainable and sounds like a very good idea imo, the safety net is just small enough for a downward trend to still be pretty plausible.

definitely wouldn't start with only 4 acorns yea 😅

[wispy tree]

what iron weapon is smartest to make?

[pliant hatch]

Mace

[gray sand]

There is no singular answer to that question.

[cosmic summit]

Is it normal for the geography of my map to not match the seed scanning website in some places?

[plush umbra]

-# considering the rather lopsided resistances of the swamp, there kinda is

[plush umbra]

some or all?

how old is the world

[gray sand]

Sword - good
Mace - good
Atgeir - good
Sledge - good

[shy marlin]

Axe - god awful

[cosmic summit]

Some, very old. I started right after mistlands came out. Or maybe a month or two before mistlands

[plush umbra]

that's not helpful advice.
as much as i love atgeirs, someone going into bonemass with an atgeir as their main weapon is gonna have a bad time

[gray sand]

Wow

[wispy tree]

will an iron sword do more damage to draugr than a bronze mace?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[cosmic summit]

I'm actually starting to wonder if I should start over. All my mistland areas seem to be 90% giant rocks

[static ruin]

You'll have that.

[shy marlin]

Keep exploring, go east/west rather than north/south

[gray sand]

Accurately saying that all of the iron weapons are good and that people should play with what makes them happy is "not helpful"... 👍

[plush umbra]

not against draugr, since they're neutral to all 3 physical types, but skeletons, blobs and bonemass all take more blunt damage

[pliant hatch]

Especially when it's a new player like @wispy tree is.

[wispy tree]

skeletons are super weak though so who cares about them.

[plush umbra]

look, everyone can have their preferences, i'm all for that, but they asked for the "smartest choice", and going by what is stat-wise the best is the best answer.
i'm not saying "DO NOT make an atgeir", just "it's maybe not the best idea in this biome"

[wispy tree]

and for bonemass, my plan is to pelt him with arrows, idk if that's viable or not though

[shy marlin]

just make every weapon

[gray sand]

Slowest way to kill him, but it is viable.

[cosmic summit]

Bring 10000 arrows and make sure your schedule is clear

[pliant hatch]

You may want to consider to upload your Valheim map files to the site, instead of having the site generate the map from the seed.

It still may not be 100% accurate, but it's a lot closer to what your current map is, as what the seed generator would provide.

[wispy tree]

hmmm

[plush umbra]

bonemass is very resistant (x0.25) to pierce damage so yea 😅 that's gonna take a while

[gray sand]

Generalized question gets generalized answer.

If they were specific about something like "for Bonemass" then the answer changes.

[wispy tree]

I guess I should melee

I guess I'll make the mace.

[plush umbra]

they asked "iron weapon", which implies swamp.
there is only one swamp enemy against which maces are a below average choice, and 3 against which they're the best.

[vagrant tangle]

It is better to master 2 melee and bow, just to be ready for everything.

[plush umbra]

i think that might be bad luck, because if it's a pre-mistlands world you should be having the opposite experience - the mistlands update increased the amount of mistlands coverage each world gets (and decreased swamp coverage and max distance) and adjusted all poi maximums to that.
but pre-mistlands worlds were uniquely not affected by this landmass change, but were as usual affected by the poi maximums, so pre-mistlands worlds have the same amount of mistlands dungeons as fresh worlds, but they're crammed into a tighter amount of mistlands

[pliant hatch]

Personally, I think the "best" weapon for a biome is often the one that works best against a boss.
So in this case, that's the mace.

For Black Forest it's the bow and axe / bronze sword, for Meadows it's the bow / spear / knife.
For Mountain it's the silver sword / bow and so on.

[vagrant tangle]

I'm using atgeir and mace. Whirling iron 4 atgeir attack good enough to stag 2star draugr or even common wolf or troll.

[plush umbra]

i think in most biomes the resistances really are balanced enough for every weapon to shine, swamps just stick out in that regard

[pliant hatch]

Well, so far there hasn't been a single leech not being killed by a bow and flint arrows. And I prefer that over melee-ing them actually.

[plush umbra]

and the more recently added abomination does give some benefit to making a slash weapon in swamps too

[wispy tree]

oh man, that iron armor speed penalty is ROUGH

[plush umbra]

as is its price, the game will demand iron til long after swamps

[nocturne wolf]

If you find the bog witch you can make tonic of ratatosk to get your speed back up

[pliant hatch]

Or you kill enough abominations to make yourself a root armor.

[light moat]

Why haven’t I thought about doing this for my battleaxe user lol

[wispy path]

not only that, but bonking golems and wolves in the next biome makes the mountain much easier

[pliant hatch]

@plush umbra
What do you think of this?

My idea and your idea: #building-screenshots message

[plush umbra]

wait what was my idea? 😅

[pliant hatch]

To use the Dverger lanterns.

[gray sand]

-# Everything 😛

[plush umbra]

oh, i just wanted to note that they're also not fuelled, i wouldn't have used them myself since they're attacked on sight and don't even spawnproof

[pliant hatch]

I used the polve versions on Grausten Tapered Pilars. So it kinda looks good when there are more waves,

Yeah, I know you mentioned the spawnproofing. But I still thought I may use it.

It does kinda look nice at night too.

[plush umbra]

true, they're pretty~

[pliant hatch]

And the night shot: #building-screenshots message

Only disadvantage I just discovered, I need to make it wider. 😄

[burnt gulch]

Preciso de um brasileiro/a

[cosmic summit]

things laying on the ground next to a workbench never despawn right?

[shy marlin]

yes

[cosmic summit]

I just encountered my first ever gjall and seeker soldier at the same time. holycrap that was fun.... Is it possible to beat a 2 star seeker soldier with max level padded armor, black metal sword/shield?

[shy marlin]

it's possible, idk if you can parry it but just bait and walk out of his attacks, and when he does the 2 slam attack go and hit his butt, rinse and repeat until dead

[snow flicker]

When i lose a fish in valheim, why does it strictly start staying on the surface of water with a water trail behind it wherever it goes now?

[static ruin]

Frost arrows work alright.

[hollow spade]

Died to collapsing flametal vein. Then died trying to retrieve gear by getting hit by ejected magma bouncing me off basalt platform

So unimaginably tilted with Ashland's

[snow flicker]

Out of curiousity, Is there any concept art of yagluth. Maybe before he was "dead" or atleast with legs?

[dim wave]

Does anyone know who provides the best budget valheim server hosting service for valheim? I have a server in Frankfurt with AMD threadripper and 6gb of ram, but idk if i can host there or if thats even enough ram

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[leaden elbow]

Is it worth upgrading to dvergr walls and spikes? Ive got the same base defense of spike walls ever since the bronze age but nothings ever gotten through the walls, occasionally at raids only. But now with the eitr refinery and fulings tryna break in almost constantly at night, i feel like i should upgrade, but the dvergr walls are pretty expensive

[leaden elbow]

whats up gjall is my least favorite looming threat, and i fear it might happen any second now

[shrewd garnet]

Have you considered digging a moat

[leaden elbow]

moat is a funny word

[shrewd garnet]

Enemies hate this one simple trick

a ditch

[leaden elbow]

im very close to water, so a trench would just end up being filled with water and unable to actually dig

if i actually succeed, sure, should be real awesome, but so far doesnt seem i can make something work

[shrewd garnet]

Nah I've made one on the beach it's not that hard, start from higher up and get everything done before digging out to shore

Still works even if it's standing water to funnel enemies into one specific spot that's easily guarded vs around the whole base

[eager reef]

hi! new player here.....is there a way to cultivate blueberries?

[shrewd garnet]

Not without using mods afaik

[eager reef]

dam ok ty

[leaden elbow]

im a dwarf rn, rock and stone

[plush umbra]

hihi

[leaden elbow]

yall im in an dillema, what staff should i upgrade first? ive got the skeleton thing at lvl3, and the three others at lvl2. I use em all equally, swapping- which one benefits the most from an upgrade to 3

[leaden elbow]

heyhey

[cosmic igloo]

staff of the wild maybe

[slate flume]

Hello, chat, wassup, I wanted to asked if any of you play with 1050ti, I need opinion on how it runs since I have 1050 ti, ryzen 5 2600 and 16 gb ram

[leaden elbow]

mistlands lvl3.

[plush umbra]

it should be fine

[leaden elbow]

ill just upgrade prot then embers

[slate flume]

It should be fine, aka like.. 50 fps?

[plush umbra]

i play on lower graphics and its all good for me

[slate flume]

you have specs like mine?

[plush umbra]

no lower and valhiem runs fine

[slate flume]

Bet, thanks

[plush umbra]

[versed solar]

can someone give me a tip how to reach moder , me and my friend are still in early silver edge and all of the 3 moder spawn are all in mistland area and covered with mist from all sides 🙂 never saw a seed like this what to do in this situation

[wispy path]

mistlands can be intimidating at first, but if you're playing with map on, just use 3 stam foods and run through the thinnest part, setup a little base a bit away from moder and stock it with frost res pots

[versed solar]

cool

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir and greatsword users just zooming and battleaxe users take another undeserved L on that regard (speed penalty)

[charred pier]

Is there any mod that enable "creative mode" (free building and flying) in multiplayer?

[shrewd garnet]

(https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/8)

That mod should allow for other players to use debugmode

debugmode being the creative mode you're thinking about, the command is already in the game.

[charred pier]

I have tried that and after the instalation the game wasn't launching ;/ I think it might be outdated since last update for this mod was in over a year ago

[shrewd garnet]

Do you have bepinex installed?

[charred pier]

yup

[shrewd garnet]

Is it only the admin that needs creative mode or all players?

[charred pier]

well the person who host the server can use debug mode

[modest zenith]

Can anybody help me find and fight the plains boss so I can FINALLY get to the mist lands?

[shrewd garnet]

There's people who have used the mod in november this year so I think it should be usable

[charred pier]

but I want to help her bulid, but from what I know there is no way for me to use debug mode in multiplayer

[tiny tiger]

You can build without debug

[charred pier]

Hmm, ok I might try again and see what happens

[tiny tiger]

It’s a nice challenge to figure out how to build in survival

atleast until the feather cape

[shrewd garnet]

I googled it now and the owner should be able to add you as an admin to the server in some config file, allowing you to use debugmode too

Might depend on the type of server tho

[tiny tiger]

How many types is there

As far as I’m aware there’s dedicated and non dedicated

[charred pier]

yea we are playing on non dedicated server

[shrewd garnet]

https://nodecraft.com/support/games/valheim/adding-admins-to-your-valheim-server#h-find-their-steam64-id-number-ba6c4f66f5

Could try that, no idea if it works tho.

Just ignore the part about nodecraft

[charred pier]

will try that, thanks :3

[tiny tiger]

Man I don’t think I’ll be able to get my plains base finished before Christmas

I’ve just not had too much time to play lately

[opal prairie]

I feel your pain, too many parties I'm expected to be at really eats into the gaming time I have.

[tiny tiger]

For me it’s been cleaning my car and work eating my time and then next 3 days that I have off I’m helping with cooking and gonna be with family so won’t really have time either I don’t think

I’m estimating atleast 3-6 hours of just grinding for resources+building to finish off just the main base section

Don’t really wanna cut into my sleep time either

[opal prairie]

Certainly don't do that, sleep is important.

[tiny tiger]

For sure the game isn’t going nowhere

[pliant hatch]

Of course you can.
Sleeping 11 hrs instead of 12 won't harm you at all.

[tiny tiger]

I wish I could sleep that long I usually get between 5-8

My body refuses to sleep longer for some reason

Even with no alarm

[opal prairie]

I usually only get 5-6h of sleep, can't go to bed before 12pm because of a sleep disorder and the alarm clock goes at 6.
In the weekend I can sleep a bit longer, 7-8h.

[summer hinge]

cries in 7 hours the past 2 nights combined

[shrewd garnet]

Get short acting / immediate release quetiapine

most sleep aids have pretty strong side effects, quetiapine I've found is the best option for a lot of people.

seroquel etc.

[summer hinge]

Here's the thing, I already have a prescription sleep aid lol. I'm just fucked in the head lmao

[shrewd garnet]

Well keep looking if it's not doing the job

[summer hinge]

oh, it is. I should specify that the last 2 nights are 100% outliers. And at least I know why too

normally I'm getting around an average of 7-9 hours

[opal prairie]

Ouch, I really hope you never get to my record of 26 hours of sleep in 9 nights, and non of it in a stretch of more than 1.5h at a time.
I really crashed after that and the doctor sent me home for a week and all I did that week was, morning routine, kids to school, come back home, sleep on the couch if I was to tired to drag myself to bed.
I set an alarm to go pick up the kids from school and when the kids went to bed I also went to bed.
I didn't sleep much during those night but at least I could sleep during the day.
Our twins who are special need kids, didn't sleep trough the night for the first 6 years, I had to get out of bed at least 2 times a night (11 being the most I ever had to get out of bed).
Because of that I developed DSPS, in short my sleep hormone gets produced to late and it fucked up my biological clock completely.

[lean mountain]

God I love taking a lontboat through a river during a storm

I killed a deer by ramming into it

Thought it was a rock, but then saw the blood explode behind me

[opal prairie]

That deer steak will be tender.

[solid portal]

It will be ruined 😆

[pliant hatch]

And washed clean for sure.

[solid portal]

Anyone have 2000 hours on this game??

😍

I’m getting super close

I can say the Lighting axes are definitely the best in the Ashlands

[opal prairie]

Its just a little wet, its still good, its still good.

[lean mountain]

am I the only one that feels forced to explore the edges of the starting island? wether by foot or by boat?

like it's a side quest to do

[solid portal]

I usually explore every island unless I run into the mist

[pliant hatch]

Nah, I'm doing the same. If only to know where I can get the easiest to a future island base.

[lean mountain]

I found my first mistlands yesterday, i was still in troll armor
ship got stuck in rocks
Night fell
Giant ennemy bombers and insect swarms arrived
I hid on a remote rock I swam to for the entire night

never going back there again

some dwarfs bois helped me, but they didn't last long lol

[solid portal]

@lean mountain lol that usually happens at every new biome, wait till you hit the Ashlands you will want to return to the Mistlands 😄

[lean mountain]

nope, nuh huh, not going down there

[opal prairie]

I do it as well, I scout the entire starting island, first I'll check the whole meadows and see where black forest connects to it, I might even take a little swim if an island with meadows outlook is in view and at a distance that can be traversed while swimming.
After that I'll scout all the black forest and keep going biome by biome till the whole starting island is checked.

#1024264966712340510 is the best place to find fellow Valheimians to play with.
Either post something yourself or browse at your leisure.

[regal spoke]

Scouting the entire spawn island can turn into a problem. When plains are on spawn island. Luckily It's been rare for me when that happens

[lean mountain]

I love when serpents randomly decide to not aggro me
I have to turn my ship around and chase them
"COME BACK, YOU RE SUPPOSED TO SCARE ME!!!"

[proper sundial]

love that you called them "enemy bombers". My favorite biome btw. Every once in a while I lose a couple of levels but the athmosphere and parkour feels great.

[opal prairie]

I do it in biome chunks I'll scout all meadows I find. After that all the black forest on starter island and so on.

[regal spoke]

I see. I just run around the entire perimeter. Turn around at plains and swamp.

[brave delta]

is the third biome mountains? on starter island i have meadows black forest and mountains

[merry pebble]

No, its meadows>black forest>swamps>mountains>plains>mistlands>ashlands>deep north 🙂
Generation of biomes can be different every time, look what elder dropped you

[hearty palm]

Yooo

How i can build freely and flying to build on xbox, i watched some video for buildings and saw people can fly while building, i tried hummer mode but i couldn't fly and it requires i must be within penches borders,

Guide me please

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console 🙂

[wispy tree]

can anything be done about a sunken crypt blocked by a giant root?

[tiny tiger]

May be possible to clip through with chair?

How bad is it

[fallen zephyr]

There are devcommands to remove world items, but otherwise it's very exploitative.

[wispy tree]

completely obstructed

[wispy tree]

whats the command and how do I use them? I don't really think it's cheating in this case

[fallen zephyr]

You'd have to check the Wiki. I don't know off the top of my head.

[pliant hatch]

Is it a root or a fallen tree? or a tree stump?

The first two can't be removed if you wack it with an axe and it shows "too hard" as a message. The third one however can.

[fallen zephyr]

Is your giant root too hard? Or, is it just a stump that requires a good whacking?

[wispy tree]

probably fallen tree, but hitting it with my bronze axe did nothing

This is probably a super common complaint, but my god, iron weighs entirely too much

[pliant hatch]

Guess using dev commands to remove it is one of the three options you got.

The second is checking if you're able to get on it and slide towards the entrance. Then when you're able to use the key, enter the crypt.
But getting out may be a problem, so I won't advise doing that.

Third option is to leave that crypt and simply move on to another crypt. There's more than enough crypts in swamps to provide you with all the iron you may need.

[wispy tree]

I love that draugr with a star just could not care less how much armor I'm wearing. very fun.

[pliant hatch]

Over time you'd love it that they still attack you, despite you being able to kill them with a single hit / shot

[wispy tree]

it just sucks when you feel like you're too weak for something in particular but it's literally the next thing you need to do

[pliant hatch]

I know the feeling.
And I also know that it sounds as if I'm an annoying know it all, but the best approach is taking things slow until you're more comfortable with the game.
Which basically means don't sprint, but use the "normal" running, sneak when possible, stop to listen and look around you once in a while, use a bow to do sneak attacks when you can because even at low levels a sneak attack can kill an enemy.

And above all - but that goes for the entire game - keep an eye at your rested status and food. Try to keep in mind how long it takes to move from your base / portal to where you are and reduce that amount from the rested timer to make sure you're getting home safe.

The rested status is one of the most important stats of the game. Even more - imho anyway - as your skill levels in some weapons.

[fiery jacinth]

encountering a star draugr elite in the crypt is the closest thing to horror I can find in this game. especially if they're backed up by archer draugrs

tho ngl my first sea serpent also gave me a massive scare

[pliant hatch]

Never encountered a Seeker Soldier in an invested mine, haven't you?

[fiery jacinth]

Ah yes, the 2 star seekers in the mines. that is scary as hell too

but the scariest part is the thought of having to navigate the mistlands to the mine after your death

[pliant hatch]

I'm always keeping my old gear, so that wasn't actually that scary. But so fight a Soldier in a mine using a bow and simply seeing those low dmg numbers.......

Not something I'd like to have happening too often.
The next thing after that, Stone Golems. I hate those things because I can't take them out from a range.

[fallen zephyr]

I've not yet invested in a mine. I am hoping that the game will allow us to progress immediately to more sustainable solutions.

[pliant hatch]

Curious? How is your knowledge of Nederlands? Spreek, lees en schrijf je dat een beetje?

If not, perhaps it would be a very smart idea to stop making fun of other people's grammer and spelling jokes as not everyone here is a native English speaking jerk like you.

Or are you just trying to troll people to get clown awards?

[fallen zephyr]

Oh. Yes! This! Why would anyone want to exist with anything less than a complete mockery of every aspect of life.

[wispy tree]

I had literally this exact situation happen to me haha

[tiny tiger]

2 star draugr archers pre root armor are my bane

[wispy tree]

multiple times now, as they sit on top of a spawner

[fallen zephyr]

I really like that starred enemies still provide a significant threat, even if we are geared up in their relative biomes. I'd be happier if starred enemies dropped items more meaningful, but they still provide that "Oh crap!" moment.

[pliant hatch]

What I usually do:

Mine out the muddy scrap piles and as soon as you see / hear movement, stop. Mine out a bit on the side so you got room to use a bow, then start picking the monsters off.

That way the muddy scrap pile is always between you and the monsters, basically giving you some extra defence.

If the monsters know you're there and approach you, retreat, as the poison "breath" of the blobs may still hit you.

If you see a corpse pile, try to shoot it. If you can't, mine out a bit until you can, retreat if you must.
Then destroy the corpse pile and focus at the Draugr later.

If there happen to be Draugr archers, retreat further in the room, go into sneak and peek around a corner with your bow drawn so you get a shot the moment you are able to hit them.

[wispy tree]

This is great advice, it just happens to be the case that none of these apply to my current situation except maybe trying to suicide rush the corpse pile

[pliant hatch]

Have you mined out the entire muddy scrap pile?

If you haven't, it still may work, just need to remain further away from that opening.
If you have, having a larger distance may a better option for sure.

[wispy tree]

no, the choke point is actually a submerged passage

[pliant hatch]

That's making things a bit more complicated, yes.

Do you have a shield? And if so, which kind?

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it’s definitely something welcome in the game as it provides more enemy variety, makes my revisits to the swamp more fun when I’m farming blood bags I have a large swamp with none of the mob spawners broken it’s a great way to farm weapon skills, although I’d be happier if we even just had unique starred enemy trophies and starred variants of all the enemies being available at least postgame

[wispy tree]

yes, banded iron

[pliant hatch]

And a mace, I assume?
As well as health and stamina potions?

[glass parrot]

How much health is considered good enough for the plains?

[merry pebble]

More than 80 so even without any armor the bugs dont one shot you i would say 🙂

[shy marlin]

100 is probably a solid number to look for

[glass parrot]

Oh okay perfect

[shy marlin]

Wolf skewer + 2 stam foods will get you that

[glass parrot]

I don’t got onions

[wispy tree]

Nope, just poison potions, but I do have a mace

[merry pebble]

Well that sucks

[shy marlin]

Is this your first playthrough?

[glass parrot]

No

Well on this character yes

[lusty crescent]

Time to get farming

[glass parrot]

Mb

[glass parrot]

I don’t have onion seeds

[merry pebble]

Without any onions to farm...

[fallen zephyr]

If it's not your first playthrough, how do you not know the rough health requirement of Plains?

[pliant hatch]

To repeat the answer to another person's question:

Well, that sucks.

[wispy tree]

it's fine, I just managed to break the spawner and found a ton of scrap iron

[glass parrot]

It’s been a while. I came back to the game recently. Also I have bad memory

[merry pebble]

Welcome to the club 😂 (regarding the bad memory)

[glass parrot]

It’s so bad I forgot the name to a portal that had my boat near it

The portal was placed yesterday

[merry pebble]

I usually use numbers, that way i can just go through all of them 😄

[snow flicker]

what species is yagluth

[merry pebble]

Fuling

[snow flicker]

big man

[glass parrot]

Man, if only I had done that

[glass parrot]

Oh I did remember the name there was just a portal next to me already connected to it

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not disagreeing; Yagluth is indeed Fuling. But, imagine being born where 'You' -> Human was 'Yagluth' -> Fuling.

[snow flicker]

yagluth to me, is the most interesting boss

along side the elder, tons of questions you could ask about them

[merry pebble]

I can recommend reading through https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Runestone 😄 it has tons of lore

[shy marlin]

idk Fader lore goes hard

[pliant hatch]

I've always thought he was a former Jotun.

When comparing the petrified bones to Yagluth they're more or less equal in size.

[fallen zephyr]

But fades into obscurity very quickly...

[merry pebble]

Yag Is smaller than that i feel, he has samé ears as fulings too. + He was their king long ago and i don't think they would let Jotun rule them😄

[pliant hatch]

Well, if he was their race, he must have had a hidden stash of grow hormones somewhere. Because one of his fingers is already larger as a Fulling Beserker.

But it's also possible he wasn't but just pretended.
IIRC there were more kinds of Jotun as just the giants.

[shy marlin]

dudes a wizard i don't see what's stopping him from making himself magically bigger

[snow flicker]

is there lore on why the character is able to respawn forsaken/bosses repeatedly or is that just for us and not necessarily them (its already gone in their world?)

[merry pebble]

True true, he might have some jotun blood in him maybe, but we will not know that 😄

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps the banishing only works if all of the fallen ones are banished?
We do know there were others before us, with "Ulf" and "Astrid" being the two most notable. But we don't know if "Ulf" ever succeeded. (And need to wait a while before we discover if he even has been in the Deep North).

[fallen zephyr]

Necks, boars, deer, greydwarves, draugr, fulings... they all respawn too. Why would the bosses be any different?

[shy marlin]

There's a lorestone about this iirc, basically the viking only perishes when they no longer have the will to keep going

[merry pebble]

Oh the question is abut respawning the forsaken 😄 not us

[fallen zephyr]

"The Queen is dead! Long live The Queen!" Makes perfect sense to me. 😛

[shy marlin]

Ah

[snow flicker]

because from what i'm reading, they werent always there.
they were banished there and we come and kill them.
was just unsure if our character kills them once but the player is allowed to kill them multiple times (IF wanted too for the fun of it)

[fallen zephyr]

If you put a summoning mechanic into the game, the bosses are lined up like wanna-be Mall Santas.

[shy marlin]

well on the topic of yagluth, the trophy head can say "Do you come to gloat, little thing? Do you know how many times I have been killed, broken, banished, burned and buried? You are not the first and you will not be the last." So Yagluth obviously can come back after we kill him, and therefore it makes sense he can be respawned.

[merry pebble]

Not all of them, some of them are native iirc 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh. The hourly rate for bosses increases across the game. Eikthyr is pretty happy to just chill in death, but Fader is paying down a significant mortgage.

[snow flicker]

"seven were the creatures banished to this mighty world by odin, too proud to bear his yoke"
"He threw down the vanir, the giants and those creatures older than any other. The greatest of them not be killed, but exiled in valheim for eternity"

[fallen zephyr]

They get great medical coverage, too. Mostly because they're European.

[snow flicker]

dont seem native to me i think

[shy marlin]

This lorestone gets me, we've fought 7 forsaken, so what's the boss gonna be in deep north?

[merry pebble]

Oh the forsaken, yes, but not all other mobs were cas into valheim 😄

[pliant hatch]

Don't you know?

Santa Claus of course!

[snow flicker]

yesss but im talking of the forsaken/bosses

not the mobs ofc

[oak river]

The lore implies loki

[fallen zephyr]

I feel quite Sisyphean, so I'm going now. Nite all.

[pliant hatch]

Or, what's more likely, the last boss, as I don't see the Queen as a "real" Viking Lore related boss.

[shy marlin]

Source? (actual question)

[snow flicker]

One must imagine you happy

[tacit crystal]

You could place a sign on portal and write where it leads perhaps?

[glass parrot]

Yeah I could do that but found that there was a portal connected to that one next to me

[oak river]

The runestones in game say it was Loki(they call him the winter child but it's heavily implied he's Loki) that made the Ashlands boss go crazy and destroy make the Ashlands the way it is. And since there will presumably be frost giants in the deep north and Loki is half frost giants it would make the most sense to fight him

There's a really good video that breaks it down

https://youtu.be/aN5Dzv4EKAo?si=N5GDm0hh1A3zutng

[shy marlin]

Ah okay, I'm familiar with the winter child theory, because that's supported by the lorestones in the ashlands, but loki is purely speculation

[tacit crystal]

The one from Embr?

[oak river]

Yeh

[light moat]

I have a feeling the winter child is not Loki 🤔

[snow flicker]

what was the ashlands before it was put to ruin?

[oak river]

Just normal presumably

[shy marlin]

A very successful kingdom where Fader ruled over it

[oak river]

Who do you think it is

[plush umbra]

kinda meadowsish judging by the charred tree shapes

[shy marlin]

The Winter Child

[snow flicker]

i was thinking a form of meadows mixed with black forest

[light moat]

I feel like it’s an original Valheim character more than likely

[snow flicker]

highly unlikely

[light moat]

What the winter child is, is a better question imo

[plush umbra]

yea valheim's been very committed to being mostly original for a while now

[oak river]

Loki makes way too much sense for it not be him imo. The way the winter child is described is incredibly similar to loki

[plush umbra]

would be a pretty anticlimactic answer to such a strange character though

[light moat]

We have Loki specifically mentioned in a dream already, right? The one about rings and fingers in ears?

[pliant hatch]

We also had a big mass without paws or head being mentioned as a bear. Haven't seen him in game.

[foggy glacier]

that's Ymir. I don't think we'll see him.

[pliant hatch]

Unless he's the boss in the Deep North, demanding all the flesh we bought from Haldor being returned.

[foggy glacier]

Lol, can you imagine him simply removing any weapons from your inventory that use it?

[pliant hatch]

Would be hard without paws, but perhaps he only need to roll over them and have the flesh join that mass he is again?

[dim adder]

when u get free serpent meat and then free serpent stew on top of it from cooking skill... mmmm

[oak river]

It's funny that you need to buy Ymir flesh from haldor but it's literally just dirt

[snow flicker]

bye bye frostner

[pliant hatch]

I think loosing Frostner is one thing.

But imagine the smell when you use a lightning or fire weapon against him. All that hair that's going to smolder..... 🤢

[snow flicker]

fr?

[oak river]

Yeah

Ymir is the first being to exist in Norse mythology but Odin killed him and made the earth out of him. His flesh is dirt, his bones are rocks, and his blood is the water or smth like that

Makes me wonder if our characters realize that they're being scammed

[snow flicker]

lol

[tiny tiger]

So the frostner is literally just silver dirt and some old swampy ass wood and that creates the best weapon in the game???

Also finally decided to venture a lil into the mistlands, 2 heavy swings with the frostner takes out a 0* seeker lol

[pliant hatch]

Don't forget that piece of metal you put at the end of that old swampy ass wood

The odd thing is, in a way it makes sense, as you can use dirt to cast a hammer head.
And at the same time it doesn't make sense, because cast metal is in general much weaker as forged / processed / hammered metal.

Not to mention, cast metal is a lot heavier as well.

🤔 Perhaps that's why no-one can lift Mjolnir.....

[wispy tree]

how much ancient bark do you realistically need? Because I have over 3 stacks of it now

[pliant hatch]

Enough for two Longboats. And perhaps the Ancient Spear and all its upgrades.
I think it's used later for the bonfire, but not certain about that.
Perhaps someone else can confirm?

[wispy tree]

what's the use of having two longships rather than one

[tiny tiger]

I guess the upgrade process is what forges/hammers it but even then only the power of frost goes up and not blunt or spirit

Having extra mats to craft a longboat easily is useful for when you are exploring and need to transport a lot of ore

[pliant hatch]

In case something goes wrong and your longship is out where you don't have a portal, you can sail to that spot, demolish one of the longships and sail home with the other one.
A Karve would work too, but you won't be able to bring much with you.

[tiny tiger]

Since all the mats used to craft a longboat can be moved through a portal

An example would be moving all the metal from your old base to your new one but the longship is already at the new base and you don’t want to waste time breaking it apart

[wispy tree]

maybe I should upgrade to a longship. if nothing else the extra hp would make me feel safer

[pliant hatch]

I think you'd like the upgrade from 4 cargo slots to 18 cargoslots a lot more. 😉

[idle storm]

That and the extra speed.
Karve is still great for exploring coastlines and rivers though

[tiny tiger]

Longship sucks for bf and plains coastlines tbh especially bf

You gotta be like where your fog of war radius just sees the island

[cosmic summit]

do dverger respawn? I just had a group of them die helping me fight a 2 star soldier

[tiny tiger]

They have a chance of spawning in the mistlands

[pliant hatch]

No, they won't. Once they're gone, they're gone

[cosmic summit]

rip

[red sierra]

is there any way to co op in creative on valheim

[idle storm]

Rogues do spawn normally in the Mistlands, dont they?
Just not necessarily in or near towers

[shy marlin]

Correct

Mages dont respawn

[tacit crystal]

They spawn in Dvergr towers for sure, but they can also spawn in wilds and near the big wisp lanterns.

[drowsy fog]

hello im new to valheim can anyone help me to get hd textures i installed the mod but cant figure out to let it work

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 would be better channels to ask.

[fiery jacinth]

Bro how are we supposed to go to valhalla if odin keeps adding content 😔

[drowsy fog]

okay thanks

[idle storm]

Make your own valhalla in valheim of course.

[fiery jacinth]

True man, this already IS Valhalla

I'm too invested already. I've built too much shit :KEKW:

[wispy tree]

it is excessively cruel that nekks and greydwarfs can attack my ship while I'm carting my stuff from my base to my ship

[fiery jacinth]

[pliant hatch]

Just sail over them.

It'll give them a severe headache.

[wispy tree]

the iron pickaxe is basically required right?

[shy marlin]

basically yes, but silver is technically skippable

[wispy tree]

skipping it seems like a bad idea

[cosmic summit]

Does anyone else try to mine away the entire skull and save the brain for last?

[trail pelican]

lol i'm lazy and do the exact opposite--go in through the top/nose, hollow out the whole brain, and just mark it for if I want to come back later for more black marble

[idle storm]

i go through the mouth if possible and leave the skull intact - that way it makes a perfect portal outpost since the only thing capable of damaging it are seeker soldiers

[snow flicker]

i just opened this chat so, huh?

[pliant hatch]

There's petrified skulls in Mistlands. If you mine an opening in them, you will find an ingredient for Eitr.

[shy marlin]

do people really mine the giants for black marble?

[idle storm]

i did when i was building a giant black marble castle. I ALSO dismantled any dvergr structures i found of course, but i needed every bit i could get.

[pliant hatch]

Well, considering you need the inner parts of the skull anyway, why not?

[shy marlin]

like the entirety of the skull?

[idle storm]

waste of time since you get several stacks by taking apart even a small dvergr outpost with the stonecutter

[snow flicker]

ah okay

[tiny tiger]

True but also you can harvest it like a silver vein

[pliant hatch]

So?

Why would I want to break down every building I encounter.
The only Black Marble I need is for an area for the Eitr refinery and for the several work benches.
I don't need to collect 50K of Black Marble for that. 2-3 skulls is enough for me.
So destroying a Dverger building is actually a waste of time for me.

[shy marlin]

Destroying a dvergr building takes like, 2 mins at max tho

[idle storm]

If you only need enough for the basics you can dismantle one of those uninhabited ruins near the shore the moment you actually land in Mistlands. No need to find a skull

[idle storm]

If that. Slap down stonecutter, delete bottom parts, go take a smoke break

[pliant hatch]

And mining skulls give you pickaxe skill.

This game doesn't have one set path. I wish people remember this for a change instead of telling others that their way isn't right because this is a lot faster.

I enjoy the mining aspect of this game, so let me do that.

If others like to wreck buildings, so I let them do that.
But don't tell me I'm doing things wrong, because I'm not.

[shy marlin]

I never once said it was wrong

[idle storm]

Dude, i'm not telling you to not mine skulls. I'm just pointing out why i and some other people generally don't.

[pliant hatch]

No, it was implied by someone else

[shy marlin]

And neither did zock

[pliant hatch]

He wasn't? This kinda looks a lot to it, though:

#valheim-chat message

[shy marlin]

But I asked for your reasons and I got them, thanks for allowing me to see your thought process

Pickaxe skill wasn't something I considered

[pliant hatch]

At that point in the game the pickaxe skill won't matter much as the black metal pickaxe smashes a lot in 1-2 hits. But even then, having a good skill of it makes it easier too.

[idle storm]

it'd be interesting to test which skill breakpoints actually make a difference for flametal since mining speed actually matters there.

[shy marlin]

most of the time when i'm in the mistlands i have pickaxe 90+ but I also recognize that most players don't have that

[pliant hatch]

The char I got that made it to Ashlands got 68. And it's actually his highest skill, other than bloodmagic and that one I don't want to grind again.
Pickaxe is a lot more fun to grind. 😄

[fiery jacinth]

I have to make a confession: I'm setting my death penalty to casual 😔

[pliant hatch]

Which area are you in?

[idle storm]

my current run has run at 100, jump at 89 and pickaxe somewhere in the high 60's iirc. After just beating Yag (though i did some biome skipping before that so i'm basically "before Queen but mostly done with ML" now)

[fiery jacinth]

tbh I just enjoy the idea of keeping the gear I have when I die. There is hardly anymore more frustrating than having to make a new set of armor just in case you die somewhere you can't get to easily

I also have severe ptsd from deathsquitos so that's that

[idle storm]

naked corpse runs were actually the most exciting fun i've had in this game
it's fine if that's not your thing but i both miss and don't miss those

These days i just don't die much anymore. Guess a couple hundred hours practice do pay off.

Well that and Ashlands PTB day 1, that was awesome.

[pliant hatch]

What kind of gear are you using?

[fiery jacinth]

Right now?

[shy marlin]

I miss the ashlands ptb man

[fiery jacinth]

None at all. I'm planning to start a new playthrough tomorrow, lul

[pliant hatch]

So far for not crafting new armor, eh? 😄

[fiery jacinth]

Indeed!

[pliant hatch]

Right. Wisplights make great "lanterns" to show you where to sail. 🙂

[fiery jacinth]

Instructions unclear. Got chucked by a Troll.

[leaden elbow]

https://youtu.be/E6sLi8nY398
Lookibg at this i realize the island shapes and positions are identical to mine in my randomly generated world, except the biomes are slightly different. What. How- do continents tend to repeat across worlds?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, all worlds are pieces of one "master map"

[leaden elbow]

Huh. Hm. So its just puzzle pieces in a puzzle?

Are biome locations premade or is that a seperate actually generated thing?

I guess i already know how the island in the west looks like for me too then.

[static ruin]

sorry guys i generate the biomes

[merry pebble]

Biomes can be shuffled around a bit, not really sure how exactly it works
btw, winter posted the map here if you want to look at it #valheim-chat message

[leaden elbow]

I think i just found my home island. This is how truman felt like.

My whole viking life is a lie, nothing is real and its all scripted

Yep its 100%, the most explored island i have is exactly middle-slightly-southwest

Long mountain range, 3 lakes. Well 1 lake and 2 lagoons

[fiery jacinth]

I wonder to be honest. if 1.0 comes out, can we keep our current maps or do we need to make a new map to for the deep north?

[leaden elbow]

Upgrade world mod. Im not gonna explore deep north just incase tho

[merry pebble]

I would say it will be the same as with ashlands 🙂 (and all previous updates) if you dont go near deep north you will be fine

[merry pebble]

Entirely unnecessary if you dont go there

[plush umbra]

i'd say in the mistlands update that mod would even shoot you in the foot

[merry pebble]

As most mods do eventualy XD

[plush umbra]

post-ML worlds have more mistlands landmass, but that's actually a bad thing because the poi totals between post and pre ML worlds are the same, so old worlds have the same amount of mistlands pois but spread across a smaller percentage of the world, making them easier to find

[fiery jacinth]

so as long as you don't go for the deep north in your playthrough, the map will be fine, ye?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[plush umbra]

yepp

[fiery jacinth]

ngl finding mistlands with suitable landmass to spawn several mines can be a big chore

[shy marlin]

not really, just explore east/west

[pliant hatch]

Or south, as that won't change anyway.

[shy marlin]

Well you don't wanna go south because that's were the ashlands is, and it takes up mistlands area

[merry pebble]

The best chances to get really big mistlands are in East and West, but the South or North arent bad by any means 🙂 (tho you want to avoid north until deep north probably 😄 )

[pliant hatch]

There's still plenty of Mistlands to be explored in the south.
I also brought it up because we have Ashlands now, so no need to discover something that won't generate right after the DN upgrade.

[shy marlin]

The probability of getting a large mistlands is greater if you head east/west tho

[pliant hatch]

Gezzz, are you the new Derek or something?

[shy marlin]

Please don't insult me like that 👍

[pliant hatch]

Then stop being the "annoying know it all."

[shy marlin]

what?

Holy toxic

[merry pebble]

My my, so much drama here today 🍿

[shy marlin]

dude just came out swingin lmao

[plush umbra]

[merry pebble]

Most of what you said was factualy correct, but the tone of "thats the only way to do it" was not well recieved 😄

[plush umbra]

which i'm sure was not intended xvx

[pliant hatch]

45 minutes ago I made a comment about letting people play the game the way they like it.

I only bring up that the South got plenty of Mistlands too and what happens; again someone keeps insisting on going to East and West only.

And obviously without having read the comment I made well enough to actually understand what was meant.

I've blocked one person earlier today because I was fed up with his behaviour. Please don't make me block another one.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, i sometimes also type something like that while not intending to do so 😄

[shy marlin]

presenting facts = the annoying know it all i got it 👍

what a world

[plush umbra]

this is surely just a misunderstanding, you both made good points and scales isn't wrong in saying that the chances are greater if you go east or west
south's great too now that you know where to stop and have no pre-generation to worry about, but you'll still run out of south mistlands sooner than east and west mistlands

[pliant hatch]

Shame hares aren't agressive creatures.
Otherwise a Dverger lantern with a circle of traps around it would work like a charm

[wispy path]

lol

i would say rianu is going for that title now

[merry pebble]

Say whatever you want about Derek, his info is right in 99/100 cases 😄

[pliant hatch]

His problem is the wording, however.

[wispy path]

he's knowledgable, but it's the gift wrapping he gives in the process, and when he's wrong, (and he's not right 99 times out of 100), it's still that same gift wrap

[merry pebble]

Yeah, you have to get used to it 🙂 . When I was new here I almost blocked him since I was really irritated, now I dont have problem with the guy 🙂

[merry pebble]

Might have exagerated a bit, but i dont remebmer a lot of times when he was wrong. So maybe 9/10 😄

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose that 1/10 is when it comes to this game being multiplayer or not? 😄

[merry pebble]

It is primarly meant for singleplayer tho 😄

The co-op option is nice cherry on top, no doubt about that 🙂

[wispy path]

nah, this game is multiplayer, and even their own dev vidoes show them in multiplayer most of the time playing with each other

[merry pebble]

#general message 🙂

[pliant hatch]

The way I see it, is that this game is basically doing the same thing as LiF:YO.
Single player with the ability to play it with friends in a co-op game. Which means it's limited multiplayer.

But for some multiplayer means going online on another server only.
Which means, this game - with its prime focus at single play - doesn't have multiplayer.

[dim wave]

Has anyone used a vps for Valheim that works?

[wispy path]

it's singleplayer too, but it's just as much multiplayer anymore

[pliant hatch]

Cool! Wisptorches still give light in the Meadow / BF fog. But they won't clear it, like they clear the mist.

[merry pebble]

I personally would be in the group 1 i feel

[merry pebble]

Well, the fog in BF and meadows are antirely different to the mistlands mist clouds 😅

[shy marlin]

Be careful you might be called the annoying know it all

[wispy path]

it's not even limited anymore. there's dedicated servers, and the modding community has developed improved networking, etc

[merry pebble]

I can take it 😄 wouldnt be the first time
But Thorin is nice, i dont fear that

[pliant hatch]

I'm aware of that. But I just have been setting up some guiding lights in the water from my main base to the exit to ocean. Was still working at it when we had the fog coming, so for a while I was afraid the wisp lights would sort of disappear. But they're still visible. Barely, but still nevertheless.

Dverger lanters do work better, though.

[merry pebble]

Even imagining it i feel i would love the aesthetic of those in BF 😄 have to try it sometime

[pliant hatch]

But that'll take another 26 minutes to post, I'm afraid. 😦

[merry pebble]

I dont think you can add images while editing the message sadly

Nope, doesn't work.

a) different discord account b) a lot of people were kicked from this server when it was "hacked"

[merry pebble]

Dont understand why people make more accounts tho

[shy marlin]

ah we're getting close to the anniversary

[merry pebble]

True true 😄 not even 2 months

[wispy path]

that's not really your concern and is a deflection on your statement lol

[near furnace]

don't remind me

[tacit crystal]

Which is unfortunate though, I was much longer there before the hack and removed myself just in case and now it shows I've been here just from this year...

[tacit crystal]

I mean my profile shows I've been here since 24th of Feb 2024.

But thanks for the pic provided, didn't remember I've been here that long! 👍

[vocal rivet]

Wow, 203,360th in 2022.

[near furnace]

?

oh

[vocal rivet]

That's what it says. That they were the 203,360th person to join the server.

[near furnace]

you're 193,530:th

[vocal rivet]

Cool.

[near furnace]

I am so old the channel where all join/leave's didn't record it 😄

[shy marlin]

I think i joined in 2022 so i'm somewhere around there too

[pliant hatch]

And out of those, only 43,655 persons are online right now.
Plus some lurkers, I s'pose.

Why are carrots worth growing?

[shy marlin]

Better food

[pliant hatch]

To make sure the misthares have something to eat?

[vocal rivet]

For food, both for players and tames.

[wispy path]

food is progression as well, so cooking with carrots will be your best option up until you get turnips and onions

[dim wave]

How do i get carrots in the first place

[pliant hatch]

@merry pebble the one from the stern: #screenshots message

[wispy path]

they'll come in the form of seeds first, in the black forest - white flower looking things

[dim wave]

So I just gotta pick them right and then grow them in my place

Im running out of meat

[pliant hatch]

Yup.
And you will have to plant the carrots again to get seeds, so don't use all of them for food.

If you are willing to use the Wiki, it show how many carrots are needed for the two foods in the Black Forest. So make sure you always have 30% of those carrots "reserved" for replanting.

[dim wave]

Ig il invest until i feel like i have enough

[solid knoll]

When was valheim taken from game pass?

[near furnace]

end of summer. about 🤔

september?

[pliant hatch]

End of September, early October, I think it was.

[near furnace]

19/9 someone mentioned valheim leaving game pass

[burnt gulch]

brazuca

play of the year, high level

[vocal rivet]

Wrong server?

[pliant hatch]

I just checked for you.

The two Black Forest foods with Carrots will need a total of 4 carrots.
Each carrot gives you 3 seeds, so when planting 12 seeds, then using 4 carrots for seed carrots and the other 8 for food you will be doing fine. (or a multiple of that)

Later you will require 9 carrots for a food that's in the Black Forest Feast, so you may want to build up a small supply of carrots.

Also, you can use carrots to feed your boars - if you have them - too. So growing more than 12 is advised. But not required.

[dim wave]

Ty, but Can i not just eat carrots?

[merry pebble]

They are not nearly as good food as the stuff you make from them

[pliant hatch]

You most likely can, but I won't do it. I think even the Raspberries, mushroom and honey give you better stats.

[dim wave]

Do i need some workbench attachments to make better food with carrots?

Also do those foods stack in inventory

[pliant hatch]

You will need a cauldron over a campfire to cook food.
And yes, they stack. 10 of each food.

[merry pebble]

Honey yes, berries and mushrooms no 🙂

[dim wave]

I have that but i only daw berries and blueberries recipes

[idle storm]

also cooked food usually lasts longer

[dim wave]

Mayeb i need to hold a carrot tho for the recipe

[near furnace]

yes

[wispy tree]

well, I just learned quite a lesson.... trying to explore the coast of a swamp at night is stupid

[near furnace]

and probably a upgrade part of the cauldron 😉

[quick valley]

Anybody wanna play vanilla with me?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Not in the Black Forest, though. The upgrade comes with the next biome. 😉

[idle storm]

cauldron upgrade is always the first thing i go for in a new biome

[shy marlin]

yup food is the most important thing

[idle storm]

also means you don't have to go back to earlier biomes to farm food mats... or at least not as often

[pliant hatch]

Just do like a lot of players do.

Collect 200 of each food type and then wonder why the heck you got so much food items you never are going to use anyway.......

So thank Odin for Feasts. They're a great way to finally getting rid of all those berries, cooked boar meat, cooked deer meat and all the other things we don't need when we made it to Ashlands. 😄

[shy marlin]

my toxic trait is never using potions because "i might need them later" 🙃

[pliant hatch]

Mine is using potions because I hit the wrong hotkey. So I won't be able to use the potion the moment I do need it.

[tacit crystal]

6 stacks of both minor stamina and health meads while progressing endgame

[idle storm]

i actually do have a half-barrel of every food mat up to Mistlands...

but the berries are just stuff i picked up while exploring, it's not like i deliberately farmed any of it. I just can't leave loot behind.

[pliant hatch]

I settled down at an island having 5 Raspberry bushes. So even if I need meadows food, that's the only berry I don't have to leave my home base for.

[merry pebble]

I actually never make those 😄 so i come around them for the first time in mistlands as a loot from infested mines XD

[tacit crystal]

My guilty shame too, which is why I don't put any meads to hotkeys.

[tacit crystal]

I mean, those Minor meads are usually from chests in Infested mines I can't leave behind..

[merry pebble]

Yeah, i dont need them. But what if... xD

[pliant hatch]

I thought putting tools between the meads and the weapons may help.

It doesn't......

[merry pebble]

I put them in slots i usually have axe and cultivator in when i actually want to use them, but then i dont, and i dont switch them back until i accidentally drink one while wanting to chop or plant something 😄

[wispy tree]

uhm.... do boats sometimes just spawn on the coast of the swamp?

[merry pebble]

Eh... no? Not as far as i know, they should be mountains exclusive mob. (I dont count raids as those despawn)
BOATS not bats....🤦‍♂️

[shy marlin]

like broken boats?

[wispy tree]

I just lost a boat off the coast of the swamp, a wraith RUINED me and my boat, and on my run back I found a boat

[idle storm]

Did he actually destroy the boat or just kill you? Enemies aren't active when you're not in the area and wraiths respawn at dawn so he wouldn't have destroyed it after you died.

[tacit crystal]

In coasts of black forest, swamps and plains there can be found ruined boats usually with a treasure chest underground.

[wispy tree]

well technically I destroyed the boat while attacking the wraith

[wispy tree]

no it's literally a karve that I can sail

[tacit crystal]

Ah, I was writing and didn't look out for other responses.

[idle storm]

There's several "breaking" animations as the boats hp get lower, did you perhaps mistake one of those for it breaking?

[wispy tree]

I don't know..... also where tf is my gear??? I died on the ocean, isn't my gravestone supposed to float?

[idle storm]

because a karve has 500hp iirc, it takes a while to hack through that deliberately even with an axe which they're weak against

ocean grave should float, yes

[merry pebble]

Yep it is... But looking at the situation, broken boat that was suposedly destroyed is again there, it might be some sort of rollback

[near furnace]

rollback?

[wispy tree]

but my entire hot bar was on my corpse

[near furnace]

even if you ALT+F4. the game saves on exit

[idle storm]

it doesn't if your PC crashes though

[near furnace]

no..

but you can probably rollback your character aswell 🤔

[merry pebble]

I think i saw a few times people saying that the world rolled back and they lost some stuff, never happened to me peronally tho 🤷‍♂️

[near furnace]

yeah

[idle storm]

you can roll the world back yourself by restoring one of the backups

[near furnace]

they can lose stuff if thet restore the character

[pliant hatch]

Yay! I just had the "You don't need leather scarps, but here you got a lot by airmail" event. It didn't kill all my wolves, but the wolves did destroy the home of one of my Beyoncé 's

[wispy tree]

starting to freak out here. I spent hours grinding for that gear
