[dim adder]

should i bring frostner or silver sword?

[craggy niche]

I've started because of a progression halt in multiplayer session. Mistlands is doable in silver gear in hard mode, so you should be fine in padded.

[dim adder]

or maybe just plain old blackmetal sword?

[craggy niche]

Just think of it like fighting a fuling party full of zerkers without their combo

[tacit crystal]

To Mistlands? Frostner.

[craggy niche]

Lots of HP, big hits, slow

[dim adder]

ah so stam management will be extra important

[craggy niche]

Extra jumping, less smooth terrain than plains, so yes

[tacit crystal]

Going Mistlands you might want to venture slower. Hearing becomes important as you can predict some dangers ahead with listening your surroundings.

[cobalt canyon]

I think frostner can bypass seeker resistances

[merry pebble]

Copper has yield of roughly 33%, iron has around 14% for crypt piles and 30% for outside piles, silver veins have again roughly 33%. The yield is not bad, its just that you dont have enough pickaxe dmg and good terrain to get it fast 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Seekers take normal damage from frost.

[craggy niche]

I am not a fan of maces personally; the attack animation usually gets me killed too often on hard mode with multiplayer scaling

I am a fan of agent ooze bombs though

[tacit crystal]

Maces have the same attack pattern as swords. The only differences are that maces have bigger knockback and swords have no multi target penalty.

Maces helped a lot in my deathless runs.

[dim adder]

best attack pattern : spear. just poke endlessly lo

[craggy niche]

The hitbox is different: noticeably shorter, coupled with higher knockback, it makes it hard to connect any combo beyond a single swing

This guy gets it

[dim adder]

if spear hitbox wasnt so wack on uneven terrain and it didnt disappear sometimes it would be GOAT easy

[tacit crystal]

Spears are good, even though the range could be a bit better IMO.

[craggy niche]

Yeah, spear is too goated that it's balanced by uneven terrain lol

[merry pebble]

The primaries are just a tiny bit different and secondary of sword has longer reach while secondary of mace covers larger area 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Yeah I meant the primary attack patterns.

[craggy niche]

Although if you need an infinite range attack: harpoon is an infinite use spear that returns to you

[dim adder]

abusing the emote stab cancel thing results in some pretty insane DPS for swords heh

[craggy niche]

Those be pvp tactics now

[plush umbra]

Hello i just bought valhiem!

[dim adder]

i first tried it on an abomination and just deleted it in a couple seconds

[tacit crystal]

Welcome aboard!

[merry pebble]

Too much cheezing 😛

[plush umbra]

Thank you!

Is the pc version different from the xbox one version?

[merry pebble]

Welcome! We hope you will have fun and will not die a lot 😄

[plush umbra]

loll probably will!

[tacit crystal]

Narrator: he will die a lot.

[plush umbra]

Dont be so mean 😂

[merry pebble]

Most likely

[tacit crystal]

I'm realistic, like we all did die a lot when we started 🤭

[plush umbra]

loll

[merry pebble]

Watch out for tall, leafy enemies

[craggy niche]

Not dying is how the game is won

[plush umbra]

How do i go full screen on pc?

[merry pebble]

Go to settings and it should be in graphics

[tacit crystal]

From options > graphics maybe? I'm not on my pc but normally that option should be there.

[plush umbra]

NEVERMIIND I FOUND IT!

[plush umbra]

thx i found

[craggy niche]

Has anyone been able to "farm" a serpent spawn for consistent serpent meat?

[plush umbra]

I just set a greyling on fire 😭

[pliant hatch]

No. And it won't be possible because they're "one time only" kinda spawns.

[craggy niche]

Landed on some duergar docks that had two serpents spawn nearby to be killed by the natives here while I was building--was giving me some ideas

[plush umbra]

isnt this game in beta?

[pliant hatch]

Nope, it's in Early Access.

[merry pebble]

Their spawns are random so no

[plush umbra]

Oh

[craggy niche]

Do they only spawn in ocean?

[merry pebble]

Yep, has to be ocean, night and/or storm

but where in those conditions, thats random

[craggy niche]

I know we can "build" a fishing pond of sorts inland, but building on ocean will be harder

[tacit crystal]

Afaik the spawn points are set in world and they can spawn in same area but has timer when they spawn next time.

[merry pebble]

You cant change the biomes into different biomes...

[craggy niche]

Is ocean ever disconnected? Eg a big lake?

[tender thicket]

Are we sure about that? I mark where I see serpents and return to those spots later and find them again, thought not 100% of the time but often enough planning my routes to go through areas I've killed serpents has been somewhat reliable

[pliant hatch]

Yes, we're sure.
The night spawns disappear. Go there at day time and you won't see them anymore.
The storm spawns, however, stay. So the ones you see may be spawned during the time you sailed by while there was a storm, but you may not have noticed them.
Then, when you return at day time, you do notice them.

[merry pebble]

Yes, if you found it there before then they can spawn in same area again, but there is nothing saying they have to spawn there, thats why i said random 🙂 same with troll spawns for example, if you found troll in one area before ,there is a higher chance there will be one there again after some time, but nothing says he has to be there

[merry pebble]

Sometimes, yeah

[tender thicket]

Ok so when u say random you mean more about its timer chance not necessarily location, which would make sense and is in line with my experience too

[merry pebble]

no, the precise location is random too, just somewhere in the chunk of ocean biome

[craggy niche]

I assume like normal mob spawning rules: anywhere legal within render/chunk range

So if there's a small enough ocean biome to enclose with a loaded ballista...

[plush umbra]

Whats the giant tree in the sky for

[merry pebble]

Thats Yggdrasil 🙂

[craggy niche]

Navigation for the immersed

[plush umbra]

What's it do

[merry pebble]

Not really its intended use but it is used for it 😄

[merry pebble]

Makes sky pretty 🙂 and keeps the regular 9 worlds in place

[craggy niche]

Sail to the base and find out

[plush umbra]

Oh so it's just for looks basically

[merry pebble]

Yepp

[merry pebble]

There really isnt, and the serpents need full ocean chunk to spawn, more info here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones#List_of_spawners 🙂

[craggy niche]

Full ocean chunk? Hmm maybe a bay would work better with some bait (swimming piggies)

Kinda wish we could breed serpents: harpoon a pair onto land, build a pool around them, feed them piggies

[merry pebble]

The first part you can do 😄 but that would be too op, the stew is too good 🙂

[craggy niche]

Alright compromise: serpent love potion like troll love potion

[fiery jacinth]

You know what'd be neat?

A rowing skill for when you are once again always against the wind 💀

[vocal rivet]

We have Moder's Forsaken Power and tacking exists. No need.

[dim adder]

yeah i find it weird there are no sailing related skills even though we spend considerable time sailing

[fiery jacinth]

actually fair point ye

[hexed forum]

I mined all of a giant petrified skeleton's skull and rib cage and got 1129 (22 full stacks + 29) black marble from it. Will I realistically need that much for anything?

[wispy path]

I could use that in 20 minutes.

[hexed forum]

Lol I'd better dedicate an entire chest to it then.

[wispy path]

Building with that would be nice.

[wispy tree]

Are you kinda just screwed when fighting sea serpents? seems like no matter what it's going to damage the crap out of your boat

[shy marlin]

Frost arrows and sea serpents are a joke

[merry pebble]

Without making buildings with large ammounts of black marble you will not need any more of it 😄 but, if you are a builder...

[wispy path]

It'd be really nice to go faster on no map/no portal runs with increased skill. Over Half the time it's cloudy or raining or stormy, and keeping your bearing is very important, especially searching bosses, or heading back to traders that are far away.

[wispy tree]

I mean I killed it pretty fast with fire arrows, but the process took long enough for my Karve to only have like one hit left in it

[merry pebble]

You should stay moving while shooting 🙂 just pick a direction in which the wind blows to get most speed and it will not get many (if any) hits on it

[wispy tree]

ah, I figured it was better to just stop

[merry pebble]

Oh no no no no no....

[wispy tree]

[void saddle]

How do I get a tag to be able to post in Looking for Group section?

[merry pebble]

You dont need any roles/tags for that

[fading dew]

how is it that linen thread is somehow 10x heavier than flax

[void saddle]

it said i did....wouldn't let me post

[hexed forum]

density maybe? idk

[merry pebble]

Oh, did you put any of the tags that you can select from in the channel itself? (Europe, vanilla, modded, ...)

[void saddle]

that might have been it, thnx

[warm sandal]

Hahaaa did find elder on ffirst try...then wandered around there a little in the fog sa some strange light like a campfire between two trees... found haldor! ... got sooooo lucky he is like 200 m next to the elder location

[fiery jacinth]

quick question, I haven't played the new bog witch update yet. are the feast tray things consumed upon use or are they reusable? also are feasts generally worth it?

[merry pebble]

Its a tool like a hammer, cultivator or hoe 🙂

[fading dew]

trays are reusable like tools with a durability bar and everything, and i think feasts are worth it personally. They last for 50 minutes, can be used up to 10 times, are even split between health and stamina, and the spices required to buy them are relatively cheap and good value.

[gray sand]

Yeah.. didn't realize they were a tool until I bought 4 of them...

They don't replace regular food. They are different and serve a different function.

[fiery jacinth]

ah nice, got it. asking because I've been looking for the bog witch aaaand she's literally in the first swamp I found :KEKW:

[pliant hatch]

You may consider to get the Abysmal Harpoon.
With it, you can drag serpents on land, then shoot them without having to fear your boat being demolished.

[fiery jacinth]

not even five seconds into entering the swamp and my boat's already getting swarmed by landlords leeches 😔

[fading dew]

idk whats different about them. i like using the lower tier feasts as maintenance foods since theyre really cheap and last forever and give good enough stats.

[wispy tree]

I haven't even seen a leviathan

[wispy tree]

don't be there at night, wraiths will ruin your boat

[dim wave]

How much iron scrap can one find on average in sunken crypt?

[fading dew]

for me its between 60-80

[dim wave]

Holy

Thats soo much

[fading dew]

some crypts are horrible and have like 2 rooms though

[dim wave]

Do i bring mace for most dmg or will atgeir do well?

[merry pebble]

Around 60 seems about right, it really isnt a lot 🙂 you can get less or more ofc

[pliant hatch]

If it's possible, don't sail into the swamp. Instead find a nearby friendly biome to dock and walk into the swamp.
Makes escaping and fighting a lot easier.

[dim wave]

Rhats 600 iron nails

[fading dew]

id bring mace. youll be fine with the atgeir, but blobs can get annoying if you cant dispatch them before they poison you

[fiery jacinth]

don't need wraiths for that, I got my sailing skills for that

[fading dew]

thats 6 longboats

[dim wave]

Does stagbreaker do well

[fading dew]

yeah you can kinda cheese stuff through walls with the stag like you can in burial chambers

[merry pebble]

Poison mead really makes them non-threat tho 😄

[dim wave]

I don't have bees

[fading dew]

do remember that you can also get the better version of the stag with the iron sledge

[merry pebble]

Why?

[fading dew]

only if you arent too lazy to make meads like me

[fiery jacinth]

oh I've played the game plenty of times already, I'm just new to the whole bog witch thingamajing

[dim wave]

I wanted to ask today, i was sailing spotted a goant moving island i mined some white stuff from it and got new recipes are those wepeoms any good?

[merry pebble]

They are so cheap... and its like 4 clicks...

[dim wave]

Just haven't found any

[fading dew]

where are you in the game rn

[fading dew]

i cant be bothered to go find necks bruh my base isnt near water

[dim wave]

I have full lvl 3 troll set for armour and lvl 3 bronze tools, got some karves and ive explored many black forests and meadows, today found plains and swamps, tomorrow i tey to get iron

[wispy path]

Did the fermentation barrel go down in bronze cost?

I swear it was like 10 or 15 bronze.

[merry pebble]

Still only 5 bronze, why would it go down?

[wispy path]

Because of the mead kettle

[merry pebble]

Its only 5 bronze...

[dim wave]

Also will my base get raided every time i come from swamp or just once dudes broke my cauldron

[merry pebble]

There is a chance for raid every 40 46 minutes iirc

[dim wave]

But from swamp scent

[fading dew]

ok in that case use it for making harpoon, and if you have anything left over you can make the abyssal razor. an upgraded abyssal razor can be crazy good if you can manage to get it during the bronze age, but its no better than the iron mace in the swamps, and then completely outclassed by flesh rippers in the mountains

[fading dew]

its random, you are just getting unlucky

[merry pebble]

Which raids you get is random

[fiery jacinth]

LOL absolutely gorgeous!

[dim wave]

I for 27 so not enough for harpoon, but what does harpoon do?

[fiery jacinth]

made landfall in the first swamp on my map. has a bog witch. not even 20 meters away is the bone mass spawn

[fading dew]

nice for relocating tamed or to be tamed animals, and required if you care to get serpent scales which are only used in the serpent scale shield

you can do some funny things with it in combat occasionally, or force different mobs to fight each other too, but those are very niche uses

[void saddle]

@dim wave harpoon for killing sea monster

[dim wave]

Hm

[void saddle]

Don't stop boat.....

[dim wave]

Like leaches and serpants?

[merry pebble]

No it isnt, its for dragging animals and mobs around, its useful for getting the serpents to shore but you dont kill them with it

[fading dew]

specifically serpents, its used to get them to shore when you kill them so that their scales dont sink to the bottom of the sea when you kill them

[void saddle]

no, sea serpent

[dim wave]

I kept shooting them with arrows but its very difficult when they are behind boat or underneath it, doe sharpoob solve this issue

[void saddle]

sharpoob def helps lol

[merry pebble]

no

[fading dew]

i have yet to try to get serpent scales yet, so i cant say for sure, but it seems like itd be very difficult to both keep the serpent at shore and still shoot it ta the same time. the harpoon does nothing for you if youre out at sea fighting the serpent

[pliant hatch]

Drag the serpent on the shore, release, select bow, starts shooting until your stamina runs out. Drink stamina potion or tasty mead, run to shore, harpoon the serpent, drag it on the shore and repeat until it's dead.

The actual tricky part isn't dragging the serpent on the shore, but to lure it close enough to the shore to make sure you can harpoon it. As it doesn't like shallow water. Meaning you quite often have to lure it a few times before you can actually kill it.

[shut stone]

What’s the difference between block force and block armour. I recently entered the Ashlands and I’m looking to build a new shield to replace my carapace one but the Ashland sheild has less block force so it seems worse?

[pliant hatch]

From a while back:

Quineloe — 15-11-2024 22:57
is block armor or block force relevant for parry strength?

@upbeat crypt
is block armor or block force relevant for parry strength?

🧹🔥Blobicycake🌸 — 15-11-2024 22:58
Block armor is multiplied by parry bonus when parrying, which is why parrying reduces damage more

I think the force stays the same but I’m not certain about that (bewerkt)

Quineloe — 15-11-2024 22:59
kinda wondering what block force even is

🧹🔥Blobicycake🌸 — 15-11-2024 22:59
It’s knockback applied when blocking. Tower shields have it much higher than other shield types.

[ashen kayak]

chasing these damn deer around at the start of the game is harder than killing fader

[wispy path]

Use a spear

[pliant hatch]

Found that by doing a search. You know, that option you see in the top right of your screen......

[ashen kayak]

i always go for them as soon as i start and kill eikthyr before establishing a base

[pliant hatch]

You shouldn't chase them around.

Instead look around, move to them and the moment the name pops up, go into sneak and sneak behind them.
After that a hit with a stone axe or the flint spear is enough to one shot them.
Goes for boars too, btw.

[ashen kayak]

i always go up behind them with a club and when i start the swing animation they hear it and run off leading to only 3 damage being done

ig my club just grazes the deer

[wispy path]

I prefer the bow to spear, but it's easier for me to just get the spear first and then go throwing it at animals.

[wraith talon]

how do you unlock foods on the preparation table

[tacit crystal]

Block armor is the more important stat, it shows how much damage you can block. Parrying multiplies block damage number the amount it tells (1.5x for shields and 2.5x for bucklers).

Do you have Carapace shield of buckler?

[merry pebble]

Just as any other foods 🙂 you progress through the game

[wispy path]

There isn't much food on there til later in the games

It's mainly fish bait early

[pliant hatch]

You need to make sure you got all the ingredients of the biomes you've been in, as well as a special ingredient you need to buy from the Bog Witch

[shut stone]

i got the carapce sheild and am not sure if upgrading to flametal sheild is worth it

[cedar mountain]

nah, fight em naked

[wraith talon]

ive unlocked everything for the sausage but it isnt there

[wispy path]

Sausage is cauldron

[tacit crystal]

Do you have Cauldron upgrade?

[gray sand]

Flametal Shield > Carapace Shield

Carapace Buckler > All

[pliant hatch]

Sausages are done in the cauldron with the spice rack upgrade

[gray sand]

Turnips.

[shut stone]

so the carapce buckler is the best sheild in the game or just the best at parrying?

[gray sand]

Those are the same thing 😉

[nocturne wolf]

It has the highest armor when parrying

[tacit crystal]

Flametal shield is better than Carapace shield. But the buckler can block the most damage when parrying.

[merry pebble]

Best at parrying, and its only temporary until we get upgrades to ashlands shield i believe 🙂

[shut stone]

gotcha

[nocturne wolf]

What upgrades?

[gray sand]

Rank 3 Flametal Shield has 189 on the parry.
Caparace has 225.

Nothing is beating that until we get Deep North shields.

[tacit crystal]

What do you mean upgrades, they can be upgraded to 3 quality which is max to shields.

[gray sand]

If you don't parry, Flametal Tower Shield wins in just raw blocking power.

@shut stone blocking sheet is pinned in this channel 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Your space bar can keep you safe against attacks too strong for any shield to stop

[merry pebble]

Gotcha, i had stuck in my head that ashlands stuff is currently max lvl2, thats only for enchanted stuff tho, my bad 🙂 (tho i am not sure now that even if that was the case if the flametal shield would be better 🤔 )

[gray sand]

Shields max out at rank 3. And we know what rank 3 is.
So even if you couldn't attain rank 3, you would still know it is worse.

[merry pebble]

Oh, so i messed it up in my head in two ways XD

[merry pebble]

Yeah, totaly forgot that 😄

Its nearly 2 am i should probably go to sleep

[tacit crystal]

Enchanted 2 quality current max is correct, all other Flametal stuff can be upgraded to 3 quality.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, i just had stuck in my head that ashlands stuff is currently maxed at lvl 2 🙂

Facts.

Queen ai is actually so bad lol

[hexed forum]

can a scared lox trash a player's base even if it's tamed?

[sour furnace]

iv'e never tamed one, but as far as i know yes

[hexed forum]

would be my luck for it to happen lol

[gray sand]

A bored lox can trash your base even if tamed 😄

[hexed forum]

oh great, just like a naughty pup 😆

[wispy path]

yes, lol, they wreck shit, which is why most people end up raising a rock wall around em 😄

just be careful, because they do climb things, and they like to stand on each other, then jump the fence, so you want your rock walls perpendicular to the ground

[shut stone]

ive been sitting here next to my asksvin trying to tame it and idk why no progress is being made. hes in a decently sized hole in the ashlands. he has all 3 kinds of foods they can be fed and hes not eating any of it

idk why no progress is being made

[wintry valve]

Its funny, about loxes

I took the time to tame them, and because I wanted to practice archery, I ended up hunting so many wild loxes anyway that I now have so much lox meat and hide. I never had the need to tame any.

[wispy path]

yah, pigs and wolves are a bit diff - pigs help feed wolves, plus there's a ton of foods with boar meat, and you use a ton of leather scraps. wolves are great because you can use them to fight mobs or protect your base. lox are fun to ride for a few minutes, until you realize you're just stuck on an island pretty far from your base anyway

[willow oracle]

Is there a way to delete items on the floor?

[odd marsh]

U can make a an obliterator thats one way of deleting them

[topaz warren]

Aside from using console commands, you're supposed to pick up your own litter. And anybody else's, if you really hate litter.

[idle storm]

do what humanity has traditionally done and throw it into the ocean

[slate flume]

How to deal with the black forest?

[nocturne wolf]

Get a level 3 wood shield/tower shield and level 3 flint weapon

[cosmic igloo]

whats the prob specifically

fighting big groups of greydwarves?

[slate flume]

In general

[cosmic igloo]

uhhhhhhhh........ well an upgraded flint spear does a lot of good. you can kite and throw it

when there's a greydwarf shaman, make sure to kill it asap. you can dodge roll it's poison spray

trolls are really good to gather resources. use trolls that carry logs to make it hit trees and use trolls without log to hit copper nodes

[slate flume]

alr, thanks

[leaden elbow]

Why am i forced to boat building materials, i just wanna make an ashlands base. There should be an option to have to tp things back to base (scrap iron, dvergr extractors, flametal ore etc) but be able to carry processed stuff there (normal iron, bronze etc)

Just a less limited tp

[vocal rivet]

You mean like the teleport world modifier?

[leaden elbow]

Yeah but instead of everything just processed stuff

Or all building materials

So iron, bronze and stuff.

Its just annoying having to go through the ashlands rocks each time

[vocal rivet]

You don't have to.

Once you've got the stone portal set up you're golden.

[cosmic igloo]

if you forgot to bring iron with you, it can be found from pots in ruins or morgen caves

you know those broken vases

[leaden elbow]

I just know it exists, does the stone portal require flametal?

[cosmic igloo]

nah

you need to build stonecutter to set it down, which requires iron

also note, you can tp from stone portal into normal portal

[leaden elbow]

When is it unlocked then? After a fair amount of surface ashlands exploration i still havent got it unlocked

[cosmic igloo]

very early in ashlands, just find morgen cave

[leaden elbow]

Alright ive already got that found just scared to go in haha

[cosmic igloo]

you can rush in and grab stuff and run out

[leaden elbow]

Awesome.

[cosmic igloo]

ya just as soon as u see something moving, run out

unless u can fight morgens in tight space

[leaden elbow]

Do i gotta bring the stuff back by ship to homebase to use it or is it woodportable

[cosmic igloo]

woodportable

[leaden elbow]

Awesome

[tiny tiger]

Holy the arbalest is so good

Ive not tried it last time I was at mistlands but this thing packs a punch

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[tiny tiger]

sucks against deathsquitos tho

yo

[plush umbra]

very cathartic against drakes though

[coral flame]

people

[fresh jasper]

Especially if you get it on swamp age, then you'll level up the skill more

[wary shore]

lox do have a really specific use. Instead of using a cart, you can become the cart while you ride the lox

[tacit crystal]

Watching them falling down with the added knockback after taking the shot from Arbalest is one of the satisfying sights to see.

[leaden elbow]

Arbalest carried queen

[fiery jacinth]

ngl there is barely anything as spooky as sailing through the night when it's exceptionally foggy

No way to tell where is what. also no musics if you're against the wind. adds to the spooky

[crimson crow]

There’s no way to repair Dvergr Docks if I remember correctly?
Just had some 1 star Seeker ruin my plans 🤔

[pliant hatch]

You should be able to with a stone cutter and a load of black marble.

[plush umbra]

at least the black marble can be repaired, the wooden parts unfortunately can't

[pliant hatch]

Me, first time playing on hard: "I'd better not make a large base in Meadows, as I will build a nice one at a BF island as soon as I got a Karve."

Also me, 9 game days later: "Let's put up some palisade walls and use the fine wood from that shipwreck for furniture and a banner and some of the deer hide for a rug so my comfort level goes up."

[crimson crow]

Yah the Wooden parts what I was wondering, I know about the Black Marble
Annoying but I guess I’ll just have to build a bigger Black Marble Harbour, what a shame 🤓😁

[leaden elbow]

Whats the best mage loadout to use for early ashlands? Ive only unlocked the shatter thing or whatever it is. Cluster bomb.

And embla, only lvl2 hood so far

[regal spoke]

Did you make it to your special island

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

I got killed by a night serpent when trying to cross the ocean.
Then got killed by another one at another spot in the ocean when trying to avoid that spot. Eventually returned to the first spot and managed to pick up my gear. Sailed on, got to the island and faced a troll, a bunch of Greydwarves, a Greydwarf Brute and a 2-star Shaman.
Tried to kill the shaman so it won't heal the rest while running my arse off, but everytime I hit him for 18-20 dmg, he healed up for more. So I gave up as I didn't see the fun in it anymore.

Not that my current run on Hard is easy. Dodgerolling is quite hard to do when you're a left handed player using right handed settings and thus have to press the spacebar with your pinky finger. But at least I'm able to train my blocking a bit more.

And having Fire Hazards on is absolutely fun. A real good way to farm fine wood without having a bronze axe..... 😉

[regal spoke]

You made a darn good effort. Challenge your limits right. Id watch a series like this. Hard mode + fun challenges.

[subtle fractal]

is there any idea when we could think 1.0 is out ? 2025 or later? 😛

[teal matrix]

No certainty yet

[pliant hatch]

Well, we all (should) know that crossing the ocean in on a raft isn't the smartest thing to do.

I managed to pull it off because I had calm weather the 3rd try and because I decided to camp out on some small areas at night time.

That fight was something I didn't like at all though. I don't mind the higher HP of the monsters as it simply means you need to make sure you do more damage, while being hit less.
But seeing all my damage being repaired by a spell, made me give up.

[cosmic summit]

Anyone else getting burnt out on meadows music?

[teal matrix]

Don't think I've ever listened to it

[pliant hatch]

According to all the speculations, there is a (small) chance it'll be released somewhere near the end of 2025.
Which might as well mean earlier or later.

Best thing is to wait for the PTB to drop, add 5-6 months to that and even then you may have to do a wild guess.

[subtle fractal]

Ah thanks

[pliant hatch]

Nah. I have ingame music turned off. But I do that with all the games I play.

[fiery jacinth]

Say, is there any reason to waste your metal on arrows up until plains or will wood arrows suffice until then?

[regal spoke]

You were swinging above you're weight class is all. Go back with a weapon worthy of a 2* fight. Good effort to be taking that on at all. Id have noped out. Starter weapons vs 2* anything is brave friend.

[idle storm]

wood arrows are fine until mountains, then you got obsidian and frost arrows.

[pliant hatch]

You don't have to, actually.

There's enough arrows to be found in chests in the swamp, black forest and meadows. Which you can use.
With Flint and Fire arrows you can do a heck ton of damage depending on your bow.
Obsidian arrows are quite easy to make as well.

So using metal for arrows is - imho - indeed a waste of metal.

[idle storm]

you should also find a decent amount of metal arrows from chests

[tacit crystal]

Obsidian is much better option than any metal arrows. And at Plains you get needle arrows.

[light moat]

I agree using metals for crafting arrows is not very efficient. Especially at a rate of 20 arrows per 1 metal.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah. I kinda felt like fighting Jake Paul while having both hands tied at my back. 😄

I might give it another try with another character that's somewhat further in the game and which was actually meant for a co-op game with a friend. But since she never plays anymore, that character is kinda "useless" right now.
But then, since he was meant to head to the Elder, had maximum bronze level weapons, maximum troll armor ànd a Karve, things may be somewhat easier.

[fiery jacinth]

yee that's what I thought

thanks a lot guys!

[regal spoke]

I've played with hardcore settings. I was getting folded by necks and boars. Even with bf tier gear 1* shaman poison is brutal. I would circle them waiting for their hot breath then poke poke poke. Learning the time window between their skill cool downs should be useful

[versed solar]

is there any recipe in valheim using bukeperries?

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually using bows and clubs, with axes for the occasional slash damage. Later switching the axe for a sword, but keeping the other ones.
I'm trying to get used to a spear this time, as it may have some advantages in a close fight.
But whenever I can I keep using bows, simply because I think that taking out monsters from a distance is a lot better for my health.

Good thing is that fire arrows seem to do the trick quite well. Especially with the Hazard on, because it'll burn the ground if you miss. Which means it isn't just DoT, but also AoE dmg. And that changes quite a few things in gameplay.

Problem I had in the earlier attempt was that I didn't have fire arrows, only wood arrows.
And I s'pose it was my biggest mistake.

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

[pliant hatch]

Nope. They're only meant to get rid of the food effects of food you just ate.
So only use them when you want to change that. Otherwise throw them away.

[tacit crystal]

Greydwarf raids were quite troublesome in Hard preset world. Holding a torch in other hand helped to keep some distance against the regular Greydwarves and walking in circles until the raid went off then finishing them all slowly.

[pliant hatch]

I tried to do that with fire arrows.
And burned a hole in my palisade walls.........

Glad the thing burnt down after the raid was finished, otherwise I would've been forced to do a lot of rebuilding.

[sour furnace]

I use wood arrows and flint/iron from chests up to the mountains, where I use fire arrows, then I craft 3 stacks of frost arrows because I'm too scared of fighting fuling camps normally, and now I have stacks and stacks of needle arrows

[slate flume]

How do I destroy the skeleton spawner without skeletons spawning every few secs? 😭

[pulsar mortar]

mace

[slate flume]

aka without getting busted from spawning skeletons

[slate flume]

I ain't even close to bronze age

[gray sand]

Why does that matter?

Wooden Club can carry all the way through Swamp.

[pulsar mortar]

Best way is to avoid them early game or club them to dust with shield - parry - hit combo

[slate flume]

so wooden club and tower shield?

[pulsar mortar]

No buckler and club

[slate flume]

I ain't got a buckler

[pulsar mortar]

That small round shield

[slate flume]

oh

[tacit crystal]

I'm trying to go deathless on Hard after my successful normal run. Spears, clubs and axes were my main weapon types then and have been also reliable even on Hard mode (surprisingly battleaxes are really good too).

[slate flume]

got one, but forgot it at my base, guess I will go back

[gray sand]

"Tower Shield" is almost never the correct answer.

[slate flume]

I see

[gleaming musk]

[pliant hatch]

For me, using a spear is requiring a whole new way of thinking.

I've done lots of playthroughs with a bow and dual wielding weapons in Skyrim and ESO.
So my usual thought was: Have one pierce, one blunt and one slash weapon and you can deal with everything you encounter. So with a bow, club and axe / sword I covered it all.
Also means that why use a spear when you have a bow doing the same kind of damage, from a more safe distance and having the chance to add elemental damage.
Means that if things go "wrong" switching to one of the other weapons would help solving the problem.

With adding a spear, I got a 2nd pierce weapon, which also act kinda weird, as I would've expect it to thrust forward with the weapon at a low level, not stabbing people from above with it.

I'm slowly getting used to it, but it'll take time.
And on the Hard level, that time is very limited.

[tacit crystal]

I also have all phys damage types covered as melee weapons, plus ranged. But this time I tried to fare without bows until I get access to crossbow and use spear as ranged option too. So I usually had the current best for melee and tier lower for throwing (for those situations where losing spear was more possible). But I crafted 2 Fang spears because they are so cheap.

[wispy path]

If you're struggling, spear through the meadows is fine,but the maces give a lot of benefits over a spear until at least mistlands.

The difference between normal and hard is significant.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, I noticed that.

On normal, killing Eikthyr with wooden arrows is going like a breeze.
On hard, it's madness. Even flint arrows do not that much damage, so it's actually fire arrows working best.

[vocal rivet]

You're saying Hard difficulty is harder than Normal?!

[shy marlin]

Crazy.

[pliant hatch]

Ehm......

🤔

Yes? 🤨

[shy marlin]

I wonder if very hard is harder than hard?

[wispy path]

Go back to your little troll cave.

[vocal rivet]

Lol, you think I'M the troll? Oh, the irony.

[wispy path]

I think you're a troll. Not that you were trolling.

[pliant hatch]

Just leave Derek be. He's part of the furniture here, but he knows more about the game as some of us have forgotten.

His comment wasn't meant for trolling, but more like a joke.
Except it doesn't work when you don't know him well enough. And while even I don't know him well enough, I do know when he's attempting to make a joke.
So, let him be.

If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have made that comment I did to reply to him in the first place.

[wispy path]

I've seen him for years. He's a passive aggressive troll.

[vocal rivet]

I'm none of those things. But feel free to keep badmouthing me. The mods love it.

[azure yacht]

Derek is certainly one of the least trolls in this server.

And that's without comparing him to the actual children I have seen here that somehow haven't being banned

But I don't remember the usernames because I blocked them 😌

[shy marlin]

Weren't you banned?

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-dog-gif-21370673

[wispy path]

If I couldn't see your names. I'd think you 3 are the same person.

[odd marsh]

derek? a troll? impossible

[pliant hatch]

True. For one, his skin isn't blue enough. 😄

[vocal rivet]

Three? Who else is here?

[light moat]

(I think he’s referring to Thorin? I’m just a bystander lol)

Just lurking while I terminate CAT cable in a rack lol

[pliant hatch]

Don't forget to record it and put it on you tube later.
Like happens when something happens these days. 😉

[vocal rivet]

Thorin, Rianu and I are very different. I'm not sure why anyone would say we were the same person.

[azure yacht]

Thorin, Derek and I are very different. I'm not sure why anyone would say we were the same person.

[light snow]

You do the exact same shit its true

[vocal rivet]

Heh.

[light moat]

Alright, where’s the ‘get along together’ shirt

[pliant hatch]

Last time I saw it, it was send off to the laundrette.

[vocal rivet]

Who's not getting on with who, now?

[fallen zephyr]

My ears are burning.

[merry pebble]

Put some ice on them then 😄

[near furnace]

Derek, Thorin and Rianu are the same

[gray sand]

Unless you have IBS, do we not all shit the same?

[near furnace]

he may be lactose intolerant

[gray sand]

Fair.

[near furnace]

or all of the above 😄

[regal spoke]

Some of us are just allergic to bs.

[tacit crystal]

No no don't eat it.

is it possible to build skybases above the ocean?

[sour furnace]

no, but if you see i tiny island/rock in the middle of the ocean you can raise ground and create a man-made island. there is no way that i know of to make floating buildings

[lone topaz]

Mods/commands to spawn rocks in that act as a base support look up valhiem building height guides

Finally got refined eitr, the cape is so close now

Just need 4 more black cores for the galdr table

yes i tryd, screen starts buzzing if i like a yt video

but thanx budy, i left the discord a month ago and joined today. maybe thats why

[tender topaz]

Really dont get the distance between fire and the beds to be able to sleep, I have placed campfires much further away from where my bed is currently and have been able to sleep but for some reason right now I cant, is there a way to increase the range or something thiss is really annoying

[tiny tiger]

4 black cores in just one hidden room the valheim gods are smiling upon me today

Is there no way for you to place any heat emitting fire closer to your bed or your bed closer to the fire?

[tender topaz]

I mean I have the campfire effect when standing by my bed

[tiny tiger]

9 black cores from one inf mine 😌

[tiny tiger]

what about when standing on top of the bed

[light moat]

Damn, I’m lucky to get like 3 lol

[tiny tiger]

this is like my 4th or 5th the rest have been giving me 0-3 so far

[warm sandal]

afaik it is always 10m distance and has been since i can remember... you might be 1m off or something

[tender topaz]

Ah yeh near the end of the bed it goes away

[warm sandal]

I know that feeling ... having done a mine full of ticks and stuff and then get one core as a reward or even none 😦

[tiny tiger]

I feel like 1 core should be the minimum but being able to get into the double digits at times makes it worth it ig

Realistically you only need like 15 cores unless im missing something..?

[light moat]

Personally, I think dialing the requirements down to like 3 black cores per station would be nice 🤔

[warm sandal]

you need 15 for all the machinery but you might want some spare after you go to the ashlands 😄

[light moat]

Especially with them having more uses in the Ashlands.

[warm sandal]

or you could dial the ressources gotten up?

I mean if you find it to much hassle to get the stuff, you ccan always go 1,5 ressources?

[tiny tiger]

does 1.5 resources actually multiply anything by1.5? in my experience its just the same as 2x resources lol

[light moat]

Not a bad idea, but I feel like specifically it’s only the Mistland stations that have a higher demand for resources, not many other objects. Fair point though 🤝

[light moat]

It doubles cores and honey for sure lol

[warm sandal]

you get 8 troll hide instead of 10 when on 1.5

[light moat]

And other pickables, like berries and the like.

[warm sandal]

but it has to double the one things like cores

[tacit crystal]

Yeah cannot get halves of the cores or berries etc.

[tiny tiger]

ah so 1.5 and rounding up in all cases it seems

[tacit crystal]

The resource multiplier also affects to the amount of treasures/arrows/other stuff in chests in ruins and dungeons.

[warm sandal]

man i am so used to look at the minimap all the time i find my self looking for a map that is not there... was refreshing to be recording new episodes today, now back to private game and no map 😄

[thorny token]

you could build a campfire inside your house, and build a chimney to get rid of the smoke

personally thats what i built

[tiny tiger]

Im like damn this msitlight isnt helping for shit and then I realised i forgot to equip it after being raided by Ice wolf and his homies

after equipping it I still barely noticed a difference tho

[gray sand]

It's minor, but it is a difference 😄

[warm sandal]

lol if you run faster than your wisp can fly you will be left with no sight... go more slow

[idle storm]

also if you scroll out all the way the mist may be above the area the wisplight uncovers and still block your view

[keen cliff]

yeah, if you're zoomed all the way in it works better. it's also much easier to navigate without the wisplight that way, if you want

[tiny tiger]

Eh it’s whatever at this point while I dislike the lack of good mist clearing options I’ve grown accustomed to it, himminafl and feather cape make up for it for me

[craggy niche]

Unpopular opinion. Walking is an option. Attracts fewer enemies too.

[warm sandal]

you got it backwards...what i was saying is that visibility is bad if you run faster than your wisp can fly.... 😄

[craggy niche]

Wisps like walking speed too

[warm sandal]

Okay... you are not getting it 😄 that is what i was saying exactly... do not run faster than your wisp can fly....

[craggy niche]

I sense a sarcasm

[tiny tiger]

You are both saying the same thing in different ways lol

[cosmic igloo]

@tiny tiger wyd in ur current playthrough

[shut stone]

im trying to tame an asksvin and it wont eat anyfood. im feeding it the right foods and hes not angry and im within range to tame it. can anyone tell me why he wont eat or why i cant start the taming process

ive tamed creatures before like wolves and boars so idk why im having a hard time getting it to work

[gray sand]

Can you not post in multiple channels? Thanks.

[shut stone]

its not that deep bro

[gray sand]

We aren't related.

[shut stone]

?

[viral prairie]

There are channels for a reason.

[pliant hatch]

It's a reasonable request, done in a reasonable way. So why do you react so defensive?

[shut stone]

its just a question, ive spent 2 days trying to figure this out. im not hurting anyone asking a question and its extremly easy to just ignore it. its one message relax

[warm sandal]

i will just say if all the folks that ask questions would ask them in all the channels at once we would not get to talk other stuff.. there are channels for a reason and it would be basic curtesy in any channel not to post the same question in multiple channels. It is not a biggy if one person does it but if everyone does it is a pain... and that is why folks react so strongly

[ancient agate]

Is it possible the Day/Night Cycle changed while retrieving food for the spawn?

[pliant hatch]

Ignoring you?

Yup, i think that's the best possible reply you made thus far. 😄

[shut stone]

maybe, is that something that effects it?
ive dug a large pit for the asksvin hes chillin in it rn and hes got all 3 plant food things in it and hes not agro. ive been standing outside the pit for a good while now and nothings happend.

[ancient agate]

I haven't tried taming Askvin, but for starred Wolves, if the cycle changes before the taming begins, they are trying to retreat to despawn and can't be tamed

[shut stone]

he has been running into the wall , that might be the issue ngl.

[tiny tiger]

Progressing through the mistlands, working towards maxed carapace set and then magic set atm, mistlands tier shit I got himmin afl buckler and feather cape as well as some of the foods and major healing potions

[ancient agate]

Unfortunately, you might have to kill/release that spawn and capture a different one

[shut stone]

i will try that

[tiny tiger]

Rn I need to go get more iron as I literally have none for black forge upgrade, and need to set up a mushroom farm and outpost in the mistlands somewhere, I’ve found the queen vegvisir so I’m contemplating making my outpost on that island, it’s across from my plains base island

This playthrough I’m planning on actually killing the queen and progressing into the Ashland’s, however I want to make sure I’ve got good supply lines of the previous biomes loot first

[tall otter]

@ancient agate thanks for answering his question and not toxic

[tiny tiger]

Lingering potions are also something I want to get asap but sap is a pain and I’ve only gotten one dvergr extractor by luck of a gjall opening it up, I worry I’m gonna die and haven’t found too weak of a dvergr outpost yet

[ancient agate]

No thanks necessary. While I appreciate the comment, I don't think everyone reminding us about posting restrictions was doing so in an overly aggressive manner. We should respect the server rules so that we all have the same opportunity to post

[nocturne wolf]

You can break the crate and run

[gray sand]

No. We were 100% being aggressive fucks who hate all human beings.
Couldn't you tell from our overuse of swearing and not saying "thanks" in a polite manner?
50000% toxicity only in this channel at all times. 🙃

[tiny tiger]

That’s also an option but I don’t like to have enemies that are alive and plotting against me somewhere in the world lol

If I’m gonna make enemies I better make sure they’re dead before me

[nocturne wolf]

You could lure strong enemies toward them to weaken them first

[gray sand]

Build a cart. Break crate with cart. Say "oops" and walk out with no aggro.

[ancient agate]

Introspection is valuable, sarcasm also has its own value when used at the right time. I enjoyed this

[tiny tiger]

I know of all these options are available to me but it’s just not fun, I’d rather find a weaker settlement and work my way up to being able to kill the stronger settlements

[gray sand]

Ooze bombs.

[tiny tiger]

I like that idea

[gray sand]

Throw them inside and then close the door 😄

[pliant hatch]

YOu want them to go out with a "bang"?

[tiny tiger]

It’s like i also decided this run to not break and recycle cores with smelters/kilns and the black core stations, I think the intended way is to keep exploring until you have enough

And I’m certainly enjoying the mistlands more this time around

[gray sand]

Kilns? You mean Fire Arrows?

[tiny tiger]

charcoal kilns and smelters both need 5 cores

[gray sand]

Kilns are obsolete if you turn on the realistic "stuff burns" setting.

[tiny tiger]

So I start with charcoal kiln then keep exploring till I have the 5 for the smelter too

I had a playthrough with that enabled but this is a vanilla run

[gray sand]

Build a Wood Stack and shoot it with a Fire Arrow. Instant 50 Coal.

"stuff burns" is very vanilla given it makes you think realistically about fireplace areas. 🤷‍♂️

[craggy niche]

Angy wood builders on multiplayer

[tiny tiger]

By vanilla I mean default world settings

and no mods

[vocal rivet]

That's why it's an option.

[idle storm]

I'd suggest sailing around the coast, the dvergr harbors are usually only those little 1 story shacks with 2-3 dvergr inside.

[pliant hatch]

Took me a bit to figure that one out, but right now I got a wooden hut, with wooden floors and still two campfires in it. 🙂

[gray sand]

Multiplayer 😂

[cosmic igloo]

actually killing queen? u havent before?

[tiny tiger]

My last run where I reached mistlands I got demotivated as I found it miserable and didn’t use potions enough, I had found the queen and had like 5/9 fragments

I believe my main skills were in the 30-40s so far this run I reached mistlands in the 60s

[cosmic igloo]

ah ya i hated mistlands on my firs ttime as well

its just tough to find stuff and add on top of that all the climbing

[gray sand]

Mine all the rocks out. Climbing eliminated (after 100+ hours maybe.. 😛 )

[cosmic igloo]

btw i think u can cheese urself into queen room by using portals, i think i saw a vid on that before. kinda like with chairing urself into crypt

[tiny tiger]

I died not long ago to the hildir raid so rn my skills are 66 run, 61 club, 53 jump, 25 block

How is your playthrough going? @cosmic igloo

[cosmic igloo]

just slowly setting up base in black forest, planning to use a lot of sword this playthrough but other than that im guessing its gonna be identical to all other runs

[tiny tiger]

Identical how

[cosmic igloo]

btw i havent done any hildir quests ever solo i think. like 6 playthroughs in and 0

[tiny tiger]

Well that’s already a change of pace if you decide to do that

[cosmic igloo]

mainly just speedrunny to finish all content

[tiny tiger]

Do you enjoy building?

[cosmic igloo]

yea kinda

also im not sure how to find hildir quest bosses

[tiny tiger]

At her location she has a map that you press a button on to reveal the dungeon locations on your map

[cosmic igloo]

oh alright

ya can def do that then

[tiny tiger]

swords are fun I rarely use them but I like their speed

[cosmic igloo]

i wanna try it out because scales said its rly good

but im just confused as to when im gonna use swords, because from my pov atgeir just outperforms pretty much all melee for a huge portion of the game

[tiny tiger]

Why not restrict yourself to only swords

[cosmic igloo]

ahh i usually dont like that kind of restricting stuff, i like meta

[tiny tiger]

I see

[cosmic igloo]

like purposefully making myself weaker

[tiny tiger]

I’m thinking Less weaker and more just different, all the damage and weapon types have their place in the game

[craggy niche]

Swords when you need a shield for parry (harder difficulties) or when running mixed light/heavy armor

[cosmic igloo]

prob is i cant parry on vh

[craggy niche]

Even maxed out with shields + 2x hp food?

[tiny tiger]

It’s good to approach fuling villages and go in blazing with the atgeir, but having to figure out ways to approach with just swords or hammers + bow is nice for switching it up

ah you are playing vh, well that changes everything

[cosmic igloo]

and yea i know the "different" thing but with atgeir i can just jump into a pack of mobs and stunlock kill everything by just spinning.. its not just different, its also just better

maybe if i lvl sword rly early by spamming elder, it can feel good in like plains?

because in mountains hell no im not letting wolves get near me

i know im gonna be farming once i get mistwalker

[craggy niche]

Sword, I wouldn't take to mountains early in progression

Nothing in the kit to escape or kill-before-clapped

I've only managed VH with dagger, atgeir or a meme battleaxe

[gray sand]

VH is the "no parry" playthrough.
Like even with rank 3 Iron Buckler, you don't have enough HP to parry Mountains stuff until you have Plains food.

[cosmic igloo]

never tried dagger or battleaxer

[craggy niche]

Serp stew nom nom

[gray sand]

Cool. Now you can parry 1 wolf 1 time.
Anything else and you're getting staggered 😄

[craggy niche]

I thought all VH players were sweaty. May just be me.

[craggy niche]

Dagger can kill single target before they can first attack (if you can land it in the vertical height diffs)

Battle axe is just a slower atgeir that doubles for chopping trees

Instead of stun/stagger, you get knockback (probably not ideal)

[nocturne wolf]

Battleaxe primary has 1.5x stagger and the secondary has more

Although polearm secondary has much higher stagger than either attack

[shy marlin]

and is a full circle

[craggy niche]

I haven't been able to stagger with battleaxe as reliably as atgeir (may be skill issue)

By reliably, I mean stagger without getting hit in exchange

[shy marlin]

yes BA's are very slow which causes that

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacking will help a lot with that

[craggy niche]

Does jump add anything like stagger?

[shy marlin]

no

[nocturne wolf]

If you're above the enemy they won't start their attack animation

[craggy niche]

I thought I was missing out an entire line of attacks lol

[nocturne wolf]

Jump attacking also allows you to keep full horizontal movement and allows you to dodge while executing an attack, so it's useful for other situations too

[craggy niche]

I jump on deathsquitos and found out the hard way they can bite you while you ride them to the sky

I guess it depends on the enemy

[cosmic summit]

Is there a channel to request specific seeds? I'm looking for one with the vendors close to each other

[tiny tiger]

#1202740443352137838

[regal spoke]

This has to have been in the game since jump? But we are just now teching this out. I know we spoke on this just days ago.

[shy marlin]

not a new concept at all

[craggy niche]

As novel as running mid-air

[regal spoke]

Scales I'm sure you aren't wrong. I've never seen anyone employ this strat.

[craggy niche]

Wait, why is dodge roll special during a jump?

Or is it just evading an attack by jumping over the attack animation?

[regal spoke]

The jump is evasion

[gray sand]

Just jump.
Enemies can't aim up any more than you can.

[craggy niche]

Jumping short enemies has been a tactic in several games since Mario in that case

[regal spoke]

Sure. But in this case the jump is evading the hit box of an attack

[craggy niche]

I see multiplayer players jump panic all the time running through black forest to accidentally evade horizontal swings

Or jump on top of trolls for a free ride

[regal spoke]

Heh can overhead attacks be evaded with the same timing as a pary

Using jump ofc

[craggy niche]

Builders are usually better jumpers in my worlds (imagine reaching all the roofs), so they do it best imho

[regal spoke]

Seems like tactical soup for hard settings where blocking isn't an option as much

[shy marlin]

Friendly reminder the s key is often better than jumping to avoid attacks

[craggy niche]

Carefully take one piece of fenris gear to walk out of range of almost all attacks

[regal spoke]

Back step yea!? Id agree. I like to bait attacks and oke doke with dash or back step. If only dash had even a smidge of i-frames

[craggy niche]

Kinda wish we had actual backpedal without block instead of full turn to move walk backwards

Vikings need to pivot at the hips

[regal spoke]

I stay "unlocked". Can "lean" in to a mobs space and provoke an attack. Then simply drag back well in a safe position. Almost feels a little cheesy how easy it is.

[nocturne wolf]

Some attacks are even possible to avoid by pressing c to walk slowly and using s, such as a volture

[nocturne wolf]

It would depend on the attack, they all have different hitbox sizes

[regal spoke]

Troll and Golem came to mind in the moment

[nocturne wolf]

All of the golem hitboxes are huge because of their stretchy arms

The spike hand variant’s sweep attack is the only one with a horizontal hitbox, which reaches 2.87m up and 9.08m forwards and covers a 104° angle

[craggy niche]

I use a controller/gamepad like darksouls, so it's just a slight stick tilt

[nocturne wolf]

Me too

Hello, how are you, I need urgent help, we are about to stop playing with my friends because the server that I host on my PC lags a lot, but it lags every once in a while, let's say that my friends have a constant ping of 40 and suddenly It raises them to 46,000 and removes them from the game, is there a solution? Has it happened to anyone else?

[gray sand]

#dedicated-server

[hasty crater]

Would you guys say fishing is worth it?

Or just useful in general

[gray sand]

At certain stages, yes.

[wispy path]

fishing is good in mistlands, otherwise, not a necessary activity unless you enjoy it

[gray sand]

Plains too. Fish Wraps go hard.

[wispy path]

problem with fishing, is that it's much easier to cheese by just walking backwards to get the fish, instead of leveling up the skill

yah, fish wraps are good, i forget that, because usually go 2 stam and 1hp lox pie and don't fish

[gray sand]

Plains- Fish Wraps
Mistlands- Fish'n'Bread
All other stages- Trollfish for mead.

Otherwise it is sort of just a fun pass time when waiting for stuff to grow or smelt.

[wispy path]

i think i'd enjoy fishing more, if the skill improved faster

you can slice mobs with a sword and be level 10 in just a few minutes, but fishing takes like an hour+ to get there

[gray sand]

Sort of like the timesink that is fishing irl 😏😉

#1024264966712340510

[topaz warren]

I just can't live with the inconsistency of stamina draining crazy fast while reeling, but it slows down while walking with the still fish hooked, as if walking was the intended mechanics and actually fishing was the cheese they wanted to nerf.

I don't get it. Either make stamina drain whatever you do while a fish is hooked, or do without the whole stamina thing.

[pseudo osprey]

Any word on them putting it on PS5 or not id definitely want to get it on PS5 as well

[shy marlin]

i wouldn't hold out for valheim coming to ps5

[pseudo osprey]

Just sucks ass 😂 they put it on Mac why not go all the way have it on everything

[wintry valve]

I wish this game allowed us to carry fewer arrows but allowed us to recover them. I couldnt well explain why I wish we had that.

[pseudo osprey]

Have like a small hunters quiver that holds like 10 but pick them up type thing

[wintry valve]

Its just that I find that carrying something like 300 arrows is silly. But then again we routinely carry the entire content of several trees and/or gigantic stones.

[pseudo osprey]

I do enjoy dropping trees on myself 😂

[wintry valve]

[normal galleon]

Random thing i just found out hahaha
So apparently, the hot tub can burn you to death if it's in the ashlands!

[tiny tiger]

You don’t think there’s a chance at ps5 at 1.0? Sony doesn’t like early access games for the most part but I think they’d have a good chance at getting it on the ps5 with how good the game is, or do they have an exclusive console deal with Xbox?

[gray sand]

If recall it's more about how they would have to make it for PS5 and that's a certain amount of effort.

Whereas Microsoft kind of wants everything to work on both PC and Xbox so that is less effort.

[tiny tiger]

That wasn’t the case for Mac tho? Idk how Mac works

Arguably there’s a larger potential player base from ps5 than there is for from mac too

[gray sand]

Could be they have a couple devs who really know how Mac works so it wasn't as much effort 🤷‍♂️
Kind of like how Satis added Lumen support because one guy on their team did it all in his free time.

[tiny tiger]

Maybe so

[gray sand]

Only Smiffe knows 🤷‍♂️

Answers obtainable by subscribing to his OnlySmiffes.

[tiny tiger]

It’d be nice to have a chill couch version of this game and I’m not interested in an Xbox this gen so I guess I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed and wait

[gray sand]

Fair.

I'm not interested in a PS of any gen and never will be 😂

[tiny tiger]

Do you know if it’s possible to share save files between the Xbox and pc versions? So you can hop on Xbox on ur guy and world for example to build then when going out to explore and fight switch to on pc?

[gray sand]

No idea.
Wouldn't be surprised either way though.

[vocal rivet]

I imagine they would.

[thorny token]

does any1 know how to unlock the stone bricks to build?

[gray sand]

You need iron from the Swamp.

i just killed the 2nd boss

[gray sand]

[gray sand]

You still need iron from the Swamp.

[thorny token]

yea ill get there at one point, do u know the best way to find a swamp?

[gray sand]

⛵

[thorny token]

i guess

thx for the advice

[gray sand]

👍

[tacit crystal]

Look at lands that are partially under water and has those high dead looking trees.

[thorny token]

will do thanks

[pseudo osprey]

Dude I got fingers crossed for it aye

Id settle for them outright saying no we are not going too quit asking 😂

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[plush umbra]

Told my one friend if it ever comes out on PS5 I’m gifting to him immediately

[pseudo osprey]

Id do the same brother

[fiery jacinth]

there is something so insanely therapeutic and cathartic about chopping down trees and collecting wood in this game, I can't describe it

[azure yacht]

You get exp from sneak attacks, right? I don't remember ever leveling up from doing it

[golden granite]

Agreed lol. When I used to play, I loved stacking huge ass piles of wood. Ofc, the stump clearing and seeding part wasn't as fun to me lol

[pliant hatch]

afaik you get the same XP as a "normal" attack, but the damage output is increased a lot.

[tiny tiger]

The sfx of the axe hitting the tree, the log crashing down, heavy downward swing to instabreak the fallen log… I love it

[fiery jacinth]

Don't forget tree's doing the domino thing of knocking down other trees, which in turn break other logs and topple more trees

[tiny tiger]

Hell yeah

[fiery jacinth]

I can't believe a game actually managed to make farming resources like that genuinely fun and satisfying, it's so good

[tiny tiger]

I need to go on a mass deforestation expedition soon tbh

And stone mining

[fiery jacinth]

well to be fair, if you wanna make pretty builds you gotta farm loads of those materials because building something nice costs you a thousand wood and stone and your firstborn child

so gotta make make the farming fun at least but it god damn it, it feels so satisfying

[azure yacht]

I'm aware of the increased dmg but I swear having read somewhere that it gives extra sneak exp

[tiny tiger]

I find mining for stone in the mountains and plains is the best as you also get crystal for windows and bmetal and finewood too

[fiery jacinth]

I just naturally get stone by clearing the area around my base so far ngl. I only really wanted to get to the swamp so I could get iron rn

just so I have access to iron tools to make farming stone and wood easier, but also to make stone structures

Plains is just my next goal simply because I wanna make my home cozier. Who care about valhalla? All I need it a cozy lil home, a feast on the table and I'm happy. This is valhalla already, man

[tiny tiger]

The size of my base I’m planning means I gotta go further out as I have nowhere near enough stone here however conveniently I based at the base of a mountain next to a lake that goes to the ocean so I don’t have to go too far for stone

[fiery jacinth]

This game is so incredibly cozy and peaceful if you really put your heart into it, it's beautiful. Not to mention just how gorgeous the whole weather system is. I have never seen a game do weather as good as this game

[tiny tiger]

Mistlands weather is snazzy for sure especially the first time you experience it

[fiery jacinth]

the magicked lightning freaked me out a buncha times

I would really love to build a home, or a wizard tower in the mistlands but there's something that just makes it annoying for me to think about. that being gjall attacks

they tank a lot of damage and can really do a good chunk of structural damage as well

[tiny tiger]

If you make the wizard tower on the tallest peak you can find and surround it in the missile towers would that be fine?

[fiery jacinth]

surround it in the missile towers?

[tiny tiger]

Yeah the crossbow looking things I forgot the exact name

[fiery jacinth]

Oh, you mean the ballistas? I'm not sure how they hold their ground against gjalls

not to mention they attack you as well, lul

[tiny tiger]

Yeah you’d need a good few

yeah that’s why I’m thinking having the tower on the peak and the ballistae surrounding it below

a staircase going up and having the ballistae positioned to not be able to shoot you climbing up

[fiery jacinth]

still ngl I hope we're getting something like cosmetic slots for our armor or something like a transmog system at some point

I'm digging the mage armor from the mistlands way more than that from the ashlands

[tiny tiger]

Fr and with the feather cape the black and red goes hard

[fiery jacinth]

Exaaaactly

but I'm certain we have a lot coming with the Deep North update, so I'm looking forward to that

Got my "The Bees are happy" mug at the ready for the release

[vast swift]

Is there any official Valheim wiki? Or anything better than Fandom?

[warm sandal]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki <-- this is the Wiki

reads "Welcome to the official Valheim Wiki" 😄

[vast swift]

Ok thanks

[warm sandal]

there ain't any better than this... the folks contriibuting to it do a good job, and it is approved by the DEVs 😄

[vast swift]

Sounds good. Fandom has a reputation for competing with official wikis with sometimes inferior information, so it's usually worth checking which way to go.

[vocal rivet]

Official means Official.

[merry pebble]

Welp, for valheim it is the official one and has the most accurate and up to date info 🙂

[vast swift]

Yes, I understood it is the official one, I was merely explaining the reason of my question.

[warm sandal]

and I am refering to it often because i am a forgetful gamer, and need to read up a gazillion times on the same information untli it sticks...grateful it is there 😄

[pliant hatch]

1st question: What happened?
2nd question: did you play with mods?
3rd question: you are aware there are options to restore both your world and your character?

[azure yacht]

It's the only one we have so we make sure it has updated info.

And whatever misinformation we see we either revert it or remove it with extreme prejudice

[pseudo delta]

found out how to restore back up from cloud, thank god, I had had a catastrophic hard drive issue, at least its fixed

[light moat]

So the game didn’t screw you over, the hard drive did 😅

[azure yacht]

Why is that related to the game?

[lyric grove]

I arrived

[pseudo delta]

no it was the game i reinstalled and loaded it up and the world was gone, now it is back

for the draugr enemys in the swamp, do you guys think atgeir and a bronze shield is enough?

[merry pebble]

Yes, you cant use atgeir and shield at the same time tho

[thorny token]

yeah thats currently what im struggling with lol, any suggestions on what else to get

[merry pebble]

Mace/sword and shield is good, atgeir on it own is also good

[thorny token]

ill work my way through to get the mace and max it

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, blunt weapons up to downing Bonemass is a pretty good plan.

[thorny token]

ty

[trail pelican]

with atgeir your secondary is your "shield"--use it to stun enemies giving you breathing room and break up mobs that attempt to swarm you

you can of course 'block' with it like you can with anything, and the additional armor blocking vs not will reduce damage, but not as effectively as a shield

[thorny token]

i tried it with the atgeir but it has to be a perfect parry otherwise ill just lose stamina and die

[merry pebble]

Not parrying with it, the secondary attack has huge stagger dmg that is more than good enough substitution for shield 🙂

[thorny token]

oh i havent tried that yet, thanks

[tacit crystal]

Like some say: spin for win!

[thorny token]

[wind lark]

how does the average player engages in Valheim?
solo player or group of friends?
I'm curious, cause I struggle to have my best friend stick with me in the game, so I'll probably end up doing a run just by myself...

(which is fine, I'm just curious about how other players engages with the game)

[cosmic igloo]

solo prolly

[merry pebble]

Its primarly a single player game so no problem with that 🙂

[lean mountain]

having frostner in sheath to be ready to fight ❌
having frostner in sheath bc the frost particules in your back effect is realy cool ✅

[merry pebble]

Just wait till mistlands and ashlands for cool particle effects XD

[lean mountain]

I will wait, because I'm not scuicidal to go there in Mountains gear x)

[craggy niche]

Mountain gear is viable in mistlands. The weapons will kill very slowly though.

she does not like to be eaten though

[fallen zephyr]

Does she make sparsely iced footcookies? Or, does she make cookies that look like bare feet?

Sorry, this is not Valheim chat... I'll remain ignorant.

[warm sandal]

you can go look her up on the youtubes 😄 and watch some valheim gameplay

[fallen zephyr]

I can, but I have a feeling I'm going to remain ignorant. 😛

[vocal rivet]

You're doing it wrong...

[fair cairn]

skill issue?

[fallen zephyr]

TIL @vocal rivet is a cunning linguist.

[light moat]

LOL took me too long to get that 😂

[tiny tiger]

I play mostly solo, trying to get my friends into the game has been a struggle and having a dedicated server and inviting people to play is too much of a chore and hard for me and others to stick to

[wind lark]

agreed.. it's such a waste tho

[tiny tiger]

What’s a waste?

I find for some reason my friends never want to engage with the building aspect of the game, one of my friends found the support system frustrating and unintuitive and another didn’t want to interact with it at all and left me to do all the building

And building is essential imo, base progression is just as important as exploration and equipment progression

[warm sandal]

some of my friends did quit after dying to draugr because of carelessness and needing to be rescued a few times by little old me... seems to have been hard on their psyche to not to be able to tank all the hits they thought they could tank in they shiny armor, and me running around in light armor killing the foe for them to get their gear back. So now i do play mostly alone (apart for with the son once in a while)

[wind lark]

its a waste, I wish I could play with my best friends and enjoy the game but they want the dopamine, the rush, the numbers, idk

[light moat]

My friends are just phasing out of survival games unfortunately. They all want fast-paced competitive games… I’m bummed out lol

[light moat]

THIS exactly 🥲

[tiny tiger]

Yeah when playing with new players I like to handicap myself a little so it’s more fun for them, like I can solo a troll on my own with just a knife but seeing your friend do that when you are new to the game is I guess discouraging ?

[fallen zephyr]

I feel you; sometimes your friends just don't enjoy the same gaming experience that you do. The reality is that we all probably have to play with 12-15 people to find 2-3 that we want to play with in the longer term. Whether the effort is worth is to you is the actual question.

[warm sandal]

It is no problem really as i do enjoy playing the game alone and have been enjoying it always.. i like to try out new things and get better at old things, so let them others play their games and I go play Valheim 😄

[fallen zephyr]

I feel you here too. Building a new base (regardless of objective value) is my meditation.

[tiny tiger]

Each new playthrough I start to build more and more

My next playthrough I’m planning on having a lot more coastal bases scattered throughout the world to be able to smelt and use metal wherever and then have like a warehouse somewhere to tp to to transfer mats that go through portals

[fallen zephyr]

Coastal is great. I love having a quay attached to my base

[fallen zephyr]

Coastal bases make stilts more important, but totally worth it. 🙂

Maybe we'll see Tsunamis in the next update, but I feel like corewood has our back.

[ancient agate]

I know regular fishing bait isn't too pricey from the vendors, but which trophies do people find are the biggest hassle to obtain for the different baits?

[fallen zephyr]

Serpent trophy probably.

They sink, so if you're not managing that, they're a bit of a nightmare.

[light moat]

Serpent for sure

[keen breach]

is Karve boat faster than raft ?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Boats#Comparison

[light moat]

Yep, much faster

[fair cairn]

and it has its own storage chest

[warm depot]

playing immersive mode is too scary, wdym I dont have a map

[pliant hatch]

Spending one hour in a Frost Cave and leaving it with a near-death-experience, 5 Ulv trophies, a Cultist trophy and 31 Fenris hair.
Which, combined with the Troll and Wolf trophy from a bit earlier makes it a very nice game session. 🙂

[viral prairie]

You will find someone to engage in the game with. Just give it time. It’s well worth the wait, you could find some on here probably. Ik it’s not a IRL homie but I’ve found a few community’s

[tacit crystal]

That in your Hard world?

[pliant hatch]

Nope, in a "normal" world I'm playing once in a while.

The Hard World char is still in the Black Forest.

Come to think of it, the Hard world character would most likely have died. I went into that cave with the Ocean Feast, Serpent Stew and Serpent meat as food.
After I could escape the fight with 4 Ulv's I had 24 HP left. But three of them were down and the 4th had left. I doubt I'd be able to do that in Hard. At least, not right away.

I hate death skill loops. Thought i got blood magic to 30? Nvm i died due to... catapulting without a feather cape. Back to 25. I dont remember once dying in the actual ashlands in the last 2 days, but then my stupidity gets me killed and stuck in a skill loop

Imo skill gain gets super slow way too fast

Imma install a no skill loss mod, runestones arent mentioning any memory loss on the respawned lore vikings, so why do i have dementia outside of gameplay punishment

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion 👍

[leaden elbow]

Its not that deep bro

[sour furnace]

I play on 'easy' death punishment, which means that I don't lose any skill numbers, just the progress to the next skill

[leaden elbow]

Im on casual, i lose a level. Casual is lower than easy, so seriously? Is easy... easier than the one under?

Skills that are slow to level like blood magic are such a pain to lose

[sour furnace]

Casual is the one where you keep equiped items, yes?

[leaden elbow]

Yeah.

[sour furnace]

Casual and easy have the same skill drain

[leaden elbow]

I just made it the lowest after being stuck in an average player level of 15-18 a while back

[sour furnace]

Oof

[leaden elbow]

Then no, you seem to be incorrect. I had run 100, now i have 98.

And im stuck between 99 and 98. So fucking slow.

[cosmic summit]

Is there a way to make a boar farm that doesn't look silly, but the boars actually reproduce?

[leaden elbow]

Losing progress only would be awesome though. The fairest.

[leaden elbow]

Make an actual farm, g. Like a legit googled "viking animal farm" or something

Efficient video game farms always look silly

[merry pebble]

Make a circle out of fences, there you go 😄

[sour furnace]

Oh nevermind it's 1%

[leaden elbow]

Mhm :/

[cosmic summit]

The ones I've made i get 3-4 boars max. Do I just need to make a massive penned in area and throw carrots everywhere?

[sour furnace]

Yeah, I guess I never noticed because my highest skill is like 55

[leaden elbow]

Just enough to get me stuck due to my stupidity haha. Yall ever launched yourselves off mountains to explore new areas?

[cosmic summit]

I could probably grow carrots in the pen and just pull some out of the ground to feed them

[gray sand]

Doesn't even need to be massive.

[leaden elbow]

Blood magic is 25-30, still loses a level...

To what end?

[vocal rivet]

It absolutely did, and it's not like they're new to the server. Besides, no matter who started it, that's not an appropriate thing to call someone.

How does this gate method differ from one continuous area where you just kill all but 2 of them? @cosmic summit

they ended the message on "goodnight"

To make moar boar

Lotta people die to bugs

[near furnace]

oh yeah. it's a whole Lore aspect by itself

For all the skippers, there will probably be an achievement for "Kill the last boss first."

[shy marlin]

😔 hopefully we can do that, getting into the deep north without killing any bosses is a big if

[gray sand]

Not going to happen, but what would be dope is if Eikthyr got more powerful and more attacks for every boss you killed before him. Making him a secret "final boss."

Achievement: Drown with serpent meat in your inventory

[nocturne wolf]

Bring a neck to a wild asksvin
‘Family reuinion’

[merry pebble]

Tbh, some sort of peaceful animal interactions would be nice to see 😄 maybe some little animation that could happen at random between animals of the same species or when something like neck and asksvin meet

[ancient agate]

Some of these are nice, but I remember when I learned that tamed wolves don't fight wild wolves

[pliant hatch]

(Hidden) Achievement: Kill 10,000 Greydwarves.
Title: Are you done yet?

Now I'm thinking about a "Are we there yet?" achievement.

But not certain if it should be connected to a biome or a time frame.

[wispy path]

please also make the achievement sound as annoying as possible like other games too

[near furnace]

as anoying?

[tacit crystal]

Does it count as kill if they die to fire damage in Greydwarf spawner farm?

[pliant hatch]

I think it would be better if the player killed them manually.

[wispy path]

it's a joke, as i hope yours was, because the constant achievement notifications are obnoxious

[tacit crystal]

Welp, one way to level up crossbow skill.

[wispy path]

kinda like "skill leveled" notifications, that you can't read because you picked up something at the same time 😄

[gray sand]

Farming 's is how I level crossbows 😄

[pliant hatch]

For those of us who know how nice it is that they drop building materials it would be a nice achievement.
But for all of those players who're complaining about all those Greydwarves destroying everything they build......
Probably not so nice.

[wispy path]

poor greydwarfs 😦 they're just protecting nature while we deforest

[pliant hatch]

Well, they become nice fertilizer once I'm replanting the trees I've been cutting down earlier.
So they shouldn't complain that much.

[wispy path]

who's the monster here?

[pliant hatch]

Points into a random direction

Eh?

Him?

[merry pebble]

Still them as they are born from souls of murderers and great sinners 😄

[wispy path]

no mercy, no forgiveness eh?

[merry pebble]

Indeed, dont let pitty stay your hand 😌

[pliant hatch]

You mean that using their resources after they're killed is a good way to make themselves useful for a change?

[tacit crystal]

I created a "hunting tower" near a greydwarf spawner (the spawner has moat and some wall around and fire near) where I hunt some greydwarves for crossbow xp.

Greydwarves deserve it.

[ancient agate]

I like the idea of a "hunting tower" for many biomes.

[tacit crystal]

Hunting towers for each biome that would work as smaller portal hubs at the same time.

[snow flicker]

if my observations are right, does storms make the windmill produce product faster?

[shy marlin]

wind speed does affect how fast the windmills process barley

so during a storm (where the wind is faster than average) your barley will process faster

[plush umbra]

does anyone want to play with me 15+

[sweet relic]

Hello, its been a while since ive played if im trying to get to a specific location at the drop of a server are there sleeping bags i can place kind of like rust?

if not do i have any respawn options while im trying to traverse across the entire map from level 1

[pastel kestrel]

Nah mate you just walk

If over water, you use the boats

Or portals

Almost forgot about them

[wispy path]

just build a little 1x2 hut and put a bed in there

[nimble moss]

Unless in Plains, where I believe the windmill is at max speed at all times

[snow flicker]

Oh seriously?

[plush umbra]

it scales with wind, storms boost wind, and plains are just generally very windy

[glass torrent]

i miss obj man

[plush umbra]

probably an effect of the clear plains weather ("Heath clear") much like storms, since they're iirc not nearly as windy when they're misty or have light rain

[nimble moss]

Looks like the wiki changed slightly. It used say they were always max, but yeah, now says they are higher in plains.

[wintry valve]

If the deep north has a new greatsword, I hope its going to be a thin one. I dont like the fat two hander the ashland gave us.

[glass torrent]

anyone wanna play jus vanilla playthrough

[tiny tiger]

You know what I just realised this game is missing

We have no way to decorate our homes with paintings

[lavish nexus]

Should I get a tattoo of something in game?

[tiny tiger]

Frostner and yes

[pastel kestrel]

Stagbreaker

[lavish nexus]

I was personally thinking a portal

I just like the look of it

[shy marlin]

flip a coin, heads = tattoo, tails = no tattoo, you'll know what you truly want when the coin is in the air

[lavish nexus]

Well actually I'm totally indifferent to it
Im fine with or without one, just curious to see what everyone has to day about it

[shy marlin]

i'd only get a tattoo if it means a lot to me personally but if you think it's cool go for it idk

[tiny tiger]

i been wondering why the chickens aint give me no eggs but i realise now i forgot tof eed them

[plush umbra]

Hey quick question can anyone explain what vulkan is

[steady bough]

But hard for a tldr. Best googling or watching vid on it. It's basically a different way of the game to render and communicate with your gpu (I think)

Not had much luck with vulkan on valheim tho

[wispy path]

what issues did you have with vulkan?

[teal stag]

another graphics API game can use

think about it like a protocol by which your GPU and CPU communicate

If you can't decide which one to use i would suggest starting both and just compare how they "feel"

My AMD gpu had stutters on vulkan with vsync turned on

On Nvidia it's almost identical for me, you have to test it with your drivers and hardware yourself if you're into that stuff

[steady bough]

Wouldnt boot

[teal stag]

use default api then

you're not missing out on something
