valheim-chat

[rough holly]

Real talk but like… why do people love the plains and hate the mistlands, I’m on my 1st playthrough and I straight up hated the plains, boring, very little content and gear, a “dungeon” that was just ass, no mining whatsoever, everyone’s like ITS THE BEST BIOME, meanwhile mistlands which I just got to adds like 10+ new weapons, quality over quantity enemies, amazing dungeons, friendly npcs, great music and atmosphere, a whole shot ton of food, and all people have to say is “bad terrain, mist annoying” I’ll take the mist over fighting 20 fuling with mountain gear

[wispy path]

Plains is weird to me, because by the time I find / get to moder, I've gone through enough plains that i basically don't ever need to go back.

plains is easy to me - you can parry a squito with an iron buckler, and the iron mace works great against the little fulings, and the tar mobs take care of quite a bit for you.

[rough holly]

Didn’t have that experience but totally, the Moder fight was surrounded by plains so theoretically I could’ve just messed around there. And yeah I only ever return to like deal with my crops, other than that you just never need to unless you’re using an obsessive amount of tar

But just having way more fun with the mistlands. I’d rather fight a pack of like 3 seekers than go anywhere near fuling as they just throw spears, cackle, and run away

[tiny tiger]

Frostner is great against the Fulings and the tars and the deathsquitos and atgeirs and bows work well against lox, plains is like the endgame equivalent to the meadows and acts as a perfect launchpad to the endgame content, it’s fairly peaceful, beautiful terrain and loads of new base building unlocks make it the perfect spot to base

[wispy path]

i usually go frostner, i skipped it this last time because the porky is just really, really strong

i spent all my silver on the sword for fighting yag

[tiny tiger]

Easy access to finewood, tar, stone and you’ve got yourself the recipe for a huge base

I just used frostner on yag ive still never tried porcupine I don’t think lol

[wispy path]

it's a cool weapon, but i do like the frost / slow on enemies

[tiny tiger]

Lox pie is also an easy 75hp food to craft that is as plentiful as sausages in swamp

[wispy path]

yah, not even really worth taming lox anymore, as they're just everywhere and respawn so fast

[tiny tiger]

I tamed them once on my first playthrough and then never used them again after riding him once across a river and then just let him free roam

If they could transport carts with ease I would be more inclined to use them

[azure yacht]

Plains is:

The best place to build a base

One of the strongest metals is very easily available and renewable there

One of the strongest enemies can be tamed there

The food you get from it is easy to gather and cook

Also...

Dvergr = friendly NPCs?

lol

[tiny tiger]

Mistlands also has gjall raids

and you can’t see shit most of the time while plains is only 40% of the time

[wispy path]

#screenshots message i'd rather live here than in plains

[tiny tiger]

Like mistlands you only want a cozy little outpost with a lot of roots close by and mushroom farming

Enjoy the pleasures of having that gjall on the left wreck your base

[wispy path]

with arbalest, they're easy

[rough holly]

Counterpoint

Deathsquitos are so gosh darn annoying omg, idc if they’re easy to take care of, each time they give me a heart attack

I never feel at ease in the plains so don’t really want to make a base there, with the mistlands you can keep a lot of the natural generating enemies away from you just cause they spawn on the other side of a rock

I just don’t like the plains music, it sounds like it’s try to hard to make you feel calm

While yes mistlands mist be annoying, I’ll just find an area without mist and those spots are gorgeous

Mistlands food isn’t that hard to get and also why would I need easy access to plains food when I can just set up my mistlands farms and be done until ashlands

I’m not taming lox just for it to be murdered by mosquitoes

[tiny tiger]

When you make a base with huge walls deathsquitos and other naturally generating enemies will not see you so they won’t annoy you

Mistlands hares are a pain in the ass to hunt

[wispy path]

well, plains just isn't very good looking to build in for me, i'd rather build in meadows or mistlands. but you can solve any issue you have with campfires for spawning

[rough holly]

They just been running into me ngl

[rough holly]

True

[tiny tiger]

I’m currently running lox pie meat platter and blood pudding, hare meat is the only one I’m constantly low on

[wispy path]

well, i also notice a lot of people try and sword hares instead of shooting them with magic/bow 😄

[tiny tiger]

I’m using crossbow and it’s still a pain lol, I think the what strategy is finding unmisted coastland and crossbowing them tbh

[rough holly]

I just wait for the to run into a pit/ find an area where there ai bugs and just farm there

Easier than fighting 2000 pounds of lox muscle

[wispy path]

that picture i linked was from when mistlands first came out. i've never found another area like that that didn't have mist 😦

[tiny tiger]

The wisplight is the perfect radius to have hares detect you and crouching is useless when you can’t climb up small hills crouched

Lox is literally parry heavy light parry heavy light with the frostner

[rough holly]

Oh yeah the “tall wall point” I’m not building walls as a Viking… we’re raiders, ain’t got no time for “walls”

[tiny tiger]

And you can snipe it with the arbest from a far first for sneak damage

[rough holly]

Well this was enlightening, all i got to say is
Mistlands>plains

[idle storm]

I found a whole bunch during my latest game so they still exist

[marble sparrow]

hey guys im new to this game like i bought it last week. are there any servers that would be good to play on?

[wispy path]

yah, that one was right along the ocean, with a tower already built, plus a bunch of the roots around too 😦

[wispy path]

you can search and read around in #1024264966712340510 to try and find one that fits you

[marble sparrow]

aight cool. thanks!

[odd marsh]

O my god it just dawned on me, full immersion is basically playing minecraft

[wispy path]

yah, but with no mending, a weight restriction, and less inventory space 😄

[vocal rivet]

But much better graphics, story and, well, immersion.

[odd marsh]

Im gonna be lost in a few hours i could already feel it

[wispy path]

just gotta learn how to use the tree as a guide, it makes an arrow >---- that points east

[odd marsh]

Ahhh so thats where it is pointing

Cool thaankss ill remember that

[near furnace]

Vulkan can give you more FPS if you have a newer model GPU (1060 or better) or AMD 5000 series or better.
Tho some people have problems with AMD and V-sync (you can use the ingame FPS limiter instead if you want to limit your GPU usage)

Give it a try and see if it works.
you can press F2 ingame to open up the statistics window to see your FPS ingame

[dusky vortex]

👉 👈 Anyone playing in a late stage (Mistland/Ashland) world where they might let me hop on and repair my equipment? :X

[versed parcel]

started ashlands with my friends yesterday
made it ashore and it was hell on earth dude
the entire biome just knew we were coming

in the first 3-5 minutes we got to meet like 80% of the enemy types 😭

[tiny tiger]

Are jotunn puffs to mage caps ratio like 1:2 or 1:3 coz i swear I can find the blue ones everywhere but the yellow ones are so much rarer to comeby

[fiery jacinth]

yo question. y'all think it's worth it to build a little barn in your meadows biome?

for wolves and boars. I'm expanding my base a wee bit and I've got space for one more building before I'm walling it all in

[merry pebble]

If you want to breed them then i dont see why not 🙂

[fiery jacinth]

oh ye that's the idea. But I'm wondering if it's worth if at all. I've killed bone-mass already for example

also it's kinda a shame that it's so hard to bring tamed lox back home

...not to mention the structure damage they would cause in your base if you brought them home and got invaded...

They're so big and fuzzy tho! Big fren!

[abstract juniper]

hello

[pliant hatch]

For boars it's certainly a good idea, as there are two air-raids that can kill them.
Another option is to have a breeding pair (a bit) away from your main base, so in case something happens to your boars, you can always replace them.

For wolves it depends at how many you got.
While the air-raids do attack them, the wolves won't be one-shotted, so their chances to survive are better. Still, if you aren't able to deal with those air-raids - which shouldn't happen as you will face the same monsters in the biome they're from - having them in a covered area might be better.

[verbal mist]

Are there any mods to get rid of bosses? They are annoying af

Love the game but we want to completely remove them from the game. Are there any mods around that work well doing this? So the progression is still fun.

[mellow lava]

Never seen mods to remove bosses before. Most of them are easy up until queen or moder

[pliant hatch]

You could ask here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

Or you could simply activate dev-commands and when you're up to fight the boss, summon it and press "K"

That'll kill all living creatures - including pets - in an area around you.

[verbal mist]

Really?

[mellow lava]

I'm curious though. What annoys you about bosses?

[vocal rivet]

Or just don't summon them.

[verbal mist]

There’s a way to completely kill it with no fight?

[mellow lava]

You can't progress without most boss kills

[verbal mist]

They drop items you need

[vocal rivet]

And it's how you complete the game.

[mellow lava]

Ballsm, what do you find annoying about the bosses?

[gray sand]

How do all the "no boss run" people do it if you can't progress?

[vocal rivet]

Cheese.

[gray sand]

😏

[verbal mist]

We just don’t enjoy them

[gray sand]

The only drop you "need" is Moder's tears.

[pliant hatch]

You can. Only one, perhaps two are really needed, the rest can be avoided by using some glitches and cheesing.

[mellow lava]

True I guess, but cheese is cheese

[verbal mist]

Bad design imo. We spent 2h last night fighting and dying to mobs around the boss rather then fighting the boss itself lol

[vocal rivet]

Bad design?

[pliant hatch]

Which boss, Ballsm?

[mellow lava]

Only boss you can progress past without cheese would be bonemass

[verbal mist]

On top of that it destroyed our big base….lol

[vocal rivet]

What was your base anywhere near the altar?

[gray sand]

So you made a bad call on location and now one of the primary features of the game should be removed?

[verbal mist]

Ya that’s my point. I don’t want to cheese just kill the skip the fight lol

[vocal rivet]

Just don't start it.

[verbal mist]

We just don’t like the design of them. They shouldn’t be in the world imo. They should have their own separate location

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[verbal mist]

Just annoying

[mellow lava]

What boss is it

[verbal mist]

Bone guy

[pliant hatch]

They have a seperate location.

[mellow lava]

Yagluth?

[gray sand]

The zero-damage fight is the most annoying boss to you?

[verbal mist]

Bonemaas was the same thing. We just cheesed him

[pliant hatch]

Ah, why do I have that sudden feeling someone went in a bit unprepared....... 🤔

[gray sand]

Because everything thinks food doesn't matter?

[mellow lava]

Did you even upgrade equipment. Use healing meads , spend time getting good food? Get padded armor

[verbal mist]

No it’s the death bugs and lox around him

[warm sandal]

I wonder why one would builld a big base so close to a boss arena that it would get destroyed in that fight... i mean that world ist HUGE... there is so much space

[verbal mist]

Yup have all that

[pliant hatch]

Food, potions, weaponry.....

[verbal mist]

Is this a thing? We can just kill it this way?

[mellow lava]

The deathsquitos are easy to kill, yagluth you can just drag around a corner and poke him to death with melee

I think you're just suffering from a skill issue especially when you're playing in a group

[pliant hatch]

You can kill bosses with Dev-commands, yes

[mellow lava]

Itl kill everything though

Within the area ofc

[warm sandal]

I never had a problem fighting yag in fenris armor and clearing that areao out first delete all the lox and fuling and squitos around there and then go in and fight... and also ... my main base would ALWAYS be far enough to not be involved in a boss fight.. sorry ... no commiseration from me... it is just stupid to build next to the arena and then summon the boss on top

[verbal mist]

Ok great, don’t want to start any negativity: just don’t enjoy the bosses in this game lol

[vocal rivet]

Other games are available.

[warm sandal]

the bosses are the main thing in the story... just saying...if you do n ot like - go play something else instead?

[verbal mist]

Dude we like the game just not the bosses relax

[gray sand]

It very much reads like a past conversation:

"I don't like Valheim."

So play something else?
"No see, I love Valheim, except for the fact I don't like Valheim."
Maybe this isn't your game and you'd enjoy something else more?
"No see, I love Valheim. That's why I'm wondering how to change it into not-Valheim because of how much I don't like Valheim."
Well ok then...

[vocal rivet]

The bosses ARE the game.

[verbal mist]

The building the fun, the biomes are fun. The bosses are badly designed imo. That is all 😊

[mellow lava]

I don't mean to like. Spoil anything. But if you think plains and yagluth are hard. You'll have a really bad time even fighting regular mobs in ashland

[gray sand]

-# Glad to see other people were reminded of the same concept 😄

[warm sandal]

if you like the building - go play grounded...it has a similar building system ... maybe you like that more... no bosses too 😄

[verbal mist]

No we’re geared well, just want his items

[warm sandal]

well that is untrue..there are bosses but you do not have to do them

[vocal rivet]

They're not badly designed though. You just built a base on him

[gray sand]

If they think bosses are annoying, wait till they find out about Mist 😛

[mellow lava]

You're not going to do well in higher tier biomes if you struggle to defeat a plains boss

[mellow lava]

Yeah no. The yagluth fight is easier than the flametal farm that's for sure

[gray sand]

1 gjall or soldier encounter is going to turn into "is the a mod that removes Valheim from Valheim?"

[mellow lava]

Accidentally sails into the steaming water, gear is lost forever

[verbal mist]

Sorry to upset anyone. We have 500h+ in the game and beat all the bosses. We’re just realizing now that we don’t like the bosses. That is all love the game though.

[gray sand]

"No see, I love Valheim. That's why I'm wondering how to change it into not-Valheim because of how much I don't like Valheim."

[verbal mist]

Rather then cheese bosses I just want them gone lol

[vocal rivet]

You don't though. You've made that quite clear.

[warm sandal]

me gonna go record some more... enough amusement for today 😄 Cassandra has to prepare to go fight yagluth over on the next island 😄

[mellow lava]

Just cheat the boss drops into Ur inventory then at that point. No mods needed just do a creative mode run

-devcommands , additem

[vocal rivet]

At which point, why play the game at all?

[mellow lava]

Maybe he's one of the dudes who prefers to just build and make a cool base

[gray sand]

Cassandra? The Seeker from the Chantry? 👀

[mellow lava]

Each into their own

[warm sandal]

my Character for my YouTube series i am recording (one of them from one of those) I like to give them fancy names 😄

[verbal mist]

Exactly we love the rest the game. The boss fights for us just arnt fun. Thats about all it is

[gray sand]

I would fancy-name someone Thorin Mapleshield.

Or Yewshield 😉

[warm sandal]

weeeellll that name is a bit to similar to one already taken 😄

[gray sand]

So? If Palworld can pull off "a bit similar" and not have to pay out, I believe in you 😛

[pliant hatch]

That won't happen. But as said, you can make things easier by using some (cheesy) tactics or using dev-commands.
With a group I would advise to the former.
At least that way you will know what the fight is like and you will also know something about how hard the next biome will be.

And fwiw, "cheesing" is valid tactic in this game.
And in a group it's actually easier if you set up a good guideline about how to deal with a boss, instead of just summoning the boss and rush in yelling: "Gung-Ho", "Geromino" or "Leroy Jenkins".

Like, Yagluth is very slow and weak to attacks from behind.

So let one person summon him and the rest waits outside the "fingers".
The moment he shows up, one person triggers the boss and go hiding behind a finger, while the other one runs up to his back and hits him.
Yagluth will most likely turn around, thus exposing his rear, giving another person the chance to get behind him and hit him there.

Do that often enough and he'll go down a lot faster as you think.

[mellow lava]

Usually. Even in a duo. Yagluth is just as easy as dragging him around a pillar , hitting him w melee and when the agro switches, just repeat the process

[gray sand]

What's all this dragging?

[mellow lava]

Just make him follow you around the fingers

Around in circles

[gray sand]

You can literally facetank him with Fire Resist.
Just walk around during meteor and you avoid everything, then resume facetanking.

[mellow lava]

Yeah if you want to avoid taking damage. And if you don't have good gear you can just circle a pillar

[sour furnace]

I fought yagluth for the first time yesterday, my only death was from him pushing me into a wall and raining the nine circles of hell upon me. So avoid that and keep a portal a 1-2 minute walk away

[warm sandal]

getting pushed up against a wall is not adviced to be doing in any fight though 😄 i did die to two seekers pushing me into a corner and i could not muster the stam to jump over them... those buggers hit hard man 😄

[mellow lava]

I had a morgen push me into a corner I couldn't escape from before

Good times

[wispy path]

Using bonemass on the queen, it's easier to get pushed into a wall so you can keep slashing away without the knockback she does.

[hidden brook]

just saying the abomination sounds bass is immaculate

it sounds amazing

[white mural]

so im big on magic in games, (especially the more evil aligned ones) will there be more magic items in the future in the game?

[nocturne wolf]

There probably won’t be any new items in existing biomes, but the next biome will have some

[rapid marsh]

why should i forge a sword if the axe seems better?

[azure yacht]

Swords have better range, attack speed and wider attack arc

[thorny token]

mace and shield on top

[silk arrow]

Bro, my server got all messed up, and had registered a portal in a spot where it no longer was, so when I went through on the correct end, it dropped me in the middle of nowhere where the portal used to be. What gives? Now I'm stuck on an island with nothing.

[tacit crystal]

Axe is a bit slower but has a bit more damage per hit, plus it is used as a tool also, so it saves a weapon slot from another slash weapon. But 1h sword is a bit faster, has no multi target penalty and has wider arc and a bit better range.

[rapid marsh]

thanks, that was a very good answer

[tacit crystal]

Both swords and axes have 2h variants too, but 2h axe is obtainable much earlier (3rd biome) than 2h sword (6th biome). Axes have dual wielded version too in 7th biome.

[vital umbra]

aww man did i miss some bickering

[gray sand]

Don't. Axe stronk.

And 1h swords not having mtp needs to get fixed.

[plush umbra]

-# the extra per-hit damage axes have isn't enough to make up for the slower attack speed in terms of dps, a gap that only grows as you progress through tiers because the difference seems to have been decided additively rather than multiplicatively, and due to that small damage difference, the breaking points are unlikely to differ between the two weapons, making axes always slightly worse as a weapon, but they are of course very usable, and doubling as a tool is a big bonus.

[gray sand]

-# balance pass for 1.0 plz...

[plush umbra]

justice for jotun bane

[ancient agate]

Dagger tribe over here. But I haven't ever played through the Mistlands so I don't know what it's going to feel like when using the dagger means going without the shield

[plush umbra]

(i'm gonna be busy for a while now)

[tacit crystal]

It currently feels more like Jotun Pain

[gray sand]

That would require poison to be reworked 😁

[plush umbra]

or simply slapping a huge amount of poison damage on the axe

[gray sand]

I was thinking the other day.

[plush umbra]

so that it's only slightly (as opposed to significantly) worse than mistwalker at continued slashing, but if your hits are interrupted and you can't continue to attack for a while, your poison still does a good bit of extra damage at the end, making it better than mistwalker in that specific situation

[gray sand]

You could have poison do a secondary effect of "poisoned enemies take more phys damage" so the non-stacking DoT gives potentially equal dps to stuff like fire and spirit.

[tacit crystal]

And I still think it would look much cooler as battleaxe

[sterile frost]

do 2 star lox's exist?

[gray sand]

Lox don't have star ratings.

[rapid marsh]

can i turn off the hud?

[vital umbra]

because of if you like swords more

i love spears, they're still so ass so much of the time, i still craft and fully upgrade them.

[merry pebble]

Ctrl+F3

[tacit crystal]

Love and hate relationship with spears it seems. They are so good but damn they need more range and the downward stab is a bit wack.

[pastel kestrel]

Is it pronounced jotun or yotun, cause I’ve heard it pronounced either way

[plush umbra]

probably yotun, considering the english j sound is kind of just english being...english

[pastel kestrel]

Yeah ok

[plush umbra]

i know the german j is pronounced the same as the english y

can't vouch for scandinavian languages but i'd imagine they're closer to that than english

[pastel kestrel]

Yeah English is my first language, but for some reason I have a predisposition to pronounce j sounds as y sounds

[sand marlin]

had a dedicated server with g-portal, credit ran out and lost all progress, lost a year worth of building over a city i and friends build: Kattegat (4 square kilometers).

first time i enter creative building without having to farm for it, starting to build Casterly Rock from game of thrones and spawning everything back i lost with devcommands.

moral of the story, even if your server ends up crashing or corrupeted, treat it as a budist sand painting, you can always start over with the right idea.

[pliant hatch]

Pfff, the joy of having firehazzard on: Running into a rancid remains on hard and shooting firearrows at him to dwindle his health.
Works better than facing him one-on-one. 🙂

[vital umbra]

i thought we never even got to see what casterly rock looked like, not from what i remember or know so far.

[sand marlin]

there are discriptions, one from george rr martin and one from the show, there is a moment in season 7 were you see it.

[pliant hatch]

w00t! And he dropped a trophy. Mesa so happy. 🙂

[idle storm]

wait until you get a staff of embers 😁
Setting the ground on fire and kiting seekers into the inferno is actually a viable tactic with fire hazards on

[pliant hatch]

I'm not that far in the game, but I'll keep it in mind, Zock

Valheim humor:

You kill 5 skellies - on hard - of which one is a 1 star archer. And just when you've done that a text pops up on your screen, saying: "You are not rested anymore."

Yeah d'uh. Swinging that club is hard work.

G'dang! Those 2 star skellies hit hard

[spring lark]

istg Gjall need to be freaking nerfed... their fire tick damage is stupid

[cosmic igloo]

ya luckily their projectile isnt that bad to dodge and its just 2x at a time

[spring lark]

True but the splash area for it is freaking huge... Even with a level 3 protection staff bubble on me that crap shatters my shield like its made of sugar glass

[cosmic igloo]

for sure

[idle storm]

Are you wearing the feather cape or root harnesk without barley wine? Because as long as you have fire resist the damage is pretty survivable and one or two fireballs can be tanked even with SEE food.

[tacit crystal]

I go in Ashlands wearing Root Harnesk and without fire barley. I've managed to dodge those few fire dealing attacks there are.

[idle storm]

well yeah, pretty much nothing in Ashlands actually deals fire damage. Or if it does it's easy to dodge (you basically have to try to get hit by Valk flames lol).
Also we were talking about Gjall.

[tacit crystal]

True, mb.

I usually use Protection bubble.

[idle storm]

I've gotten pretty lax about refreshing that because i don't get hit much anymore.
Yes, i expect that to bite me in the ass in the future 😂

[sterile frost]

how can i make goblins look trash? i feel like i'm not doing notable damage. I've got a tier 4 ice hammer

[nocturne wolf]

Any mountains weapon should be good enough, but if you get some flax you can upgrade to a plains weapon

[shy marlin]

Iron atgeir and you're chillin

[pliant hatch]

You can use a bow to attack them from a distance and do some damage to them. With a good - silver - shield and Mountain tier armor you should have some decent defense as well.

[merry pebble]

And with black metal atgeir even more chill 😄

[rapid marsh]

guys is one scrap iron= one iron bar?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂 (if you are not talking about weight)

[rapid marsh]

nono just smelting

[merry pebble]

Then yes

[vital umbra]

atgeirs are probably myyy least favorite weapon type tbh

[nocturne wolf]

Have you tried using a bronze atgeir against a troll?

[light moat]

I’ve actually yet to use atgeirs, they just haven’t appealed to me as much as the other weapons. I’ll try them out someday though.

[merry pebble]

Currently doing my first full playthrough with them 😄 they are fun indeed

[light moat]

Oh nice! Is this the same playthrough you got lucky finding cultist trophies? Lol

[merry pebble]

Indeed it is XD (i didnt play for a little while now, i have to resume today :D)

It might have actually been beneficial that i had a break since i got a bit addicted to fenris set + ratatosk tonic 😂 this way i had time to forget how fun it is

[steady bough]

Tfw I only discovered troll Tonic at mistlands tier

[light moat]

I’ve been playing off and on, me and my buddy are in the mountains right now! Finally got my cultist trophy, going to sail back some silver when my friend gets a chance to play again. Going for the Crystal battleaxe, currently have the flesh rippers as a secondary weapon 😁

[merry pebble]

I might go for flesh rippers as a mountain weapon actually 🤔 as a stepping stone between iron and bm atgeirs

[light moat]

They’re a lot more fun than I thought!

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think I’ve ever crafted a silver knife, so I’ll make that when I’m in mountains

[merry pebble]

Oooh i did a knife playthrough up to plains quite some time ago, it was also lot of fun 😄

[sour furnace]

oh boy, i got carapace armor, and i wanted to test it out, so i decided to try and destroy a dvergr outpost without cheesing. i got absolutley MOPPED they ate me for breakfast, lunck, and dinner, they eradicated me from existance and now im sad

[merry pebble]

They may be little but Dvergr pack hell of a punch 😁

[sour furnace]

i was thinking 'oh but i got the mistlands gear, i even pre-popped bonemass and a healing mead, so i should win' (i got one kill)

[golden granite]

What common rules should you have when getting a bunch of people together to play this game? The main one I can think of is no starting boss battles on their own. But anything else that really breaks the fun for others?

[vital umbra]

bleh

[sterile frost]

i had 4 leviathans side by side which was absolutely nuts. Touching shoulders pretty much

[merry pebble]

Thats so lucky 😄

[ancient agate]

I don't see anything on the wiki that suggests otherwise, so it seems like Fish spawns would be blocked by any overlapping area of player base

[merry pebble]

I am not sure why it would be any other way 🤔 while they are basically moving items they still have to spawn so it makes sense the stuff preventing spawning of any other mob would prevent them too

[ancient agate]

So if I decide to block some spawns in an attempt to fish with fewer interruptions, the spawn prevention area must not hit the water, or it's pointless

[merry pebble]

The best way to get more fish is to move around coastlines and not wait in one place imo

[ancient agate]

I've also found that to be the case, but I was just thinking about building some Fishing Weirs along a coast and basically meander down that coast fishing and grabbing fish that get trapped in the weir

[tardy gulch]

Add this griefer to your ban list 76561198851548120 jump on my server and set 20 star wolf spawners all over the map. Had to roll it back to fix it.

[ancient agate]

Wow, is that a vanilla server?

[plush umbra]

do you have to generate new world to play the new update bog witch?

[shrewd shard]

Planning on buying the game because of sale but I’m indecisive 🥲

[plush umbra]

great game. go buy

[shrewd shard]

But me want friends to play game with :c

[plush umbra]

im playing this solo, and its still fun.

[shrewd shard]

Eh yk what ima buy it 🫡

[merry pebble]

Nope, she will appear in a swamp that has not been discovered yet 😄

[ancient agate]

Is there a way to see things like altitude on the Valheim world generator?

[merry pebble]

You click the gear icon on top left and select "Enable Y Coordinate (Height)" then go down, press "save and close" and it will be the middle number next to your cursor 🙂

[ancient agate]

Thanks!

[merry pebble]

[clever glade]

yoo new here, how do i join someones server i want to play with somebody

[merry pebble]

Look into #1024264966712340510 🙂 the owner needs to give you an ip/invite code and password

[clever glade]

ohh cool, do all servers use moods i dont have

[merry pebble]

No, not all servers use mods

[clever glade]

anyone want to invite me to server, no mods 🙂

[merry pebble]

You can also make post in #1024264966712340510 😉

[north edge]

Is there any talk of allowing mods on xbox

[snow flicker]

If I set tamed pigs free (about 20) do they stay in a general area or do they just wonder off slowly indefinitely?

[merry pebble]

Maybe in #mods-discussion ? Not really sure.

[ancient agate]

Mostly the first thing, but people say the wander area is pretty far and obviously they will run after non allies

[merry pebble]

They will slowly spread out, especially if they see an enemy

[snow flicker]

thank you

[snow flicker]

Was just wondering because I want an infinite army of 2* boars surrounding my base forever

[vocal rivet]

Why boars?

[merry pebble]

Wait a bit and another tame will be much more suitable 😉

[snow flicker]

Thank you

[snow flicker]

funny

[vocal rivet]

Oh, fair enough. They're not really great for defense but if it's just for the lols then go for it.

[snow flicker]

I would do lox, but. my base is basically in the meadows and I only get around 5 lox at a time. they will 100% get slain by a fuling raid

[gray sand]

500 boar vs a 2 star troll

[merry pebble]

Lox are not great at base deffence since they do AOE dmg, wolves on the other hand... 😄

[snow flicker]

yeah, but I dont want wolves unless I can get a 1 or 2 *

[merry pebble]

Same, i often stay in mountains for many nights just to get them if i want to breed them

[snow flicker]

mhm

Am I able to get wolves to sit on the boat at all? no mountain in my general area

[merry pebble]

Oh yeah, they might take some dmg while sailing with them so only transport adults and keep few in the area from which you take them, just to be sure you can always breed more in case the ones you are transporting die

[snow flicker]

ah Okay

You think my best bet would be thes closest mountain near me (very likely smaller), or the largest and just risk the wolves dying for traveling a further distance?

[merry pebble]

If wolves actually spawn on the one close to you then i would try it there first

[storm mica]

Anybody looking to play I've played solo for a bit and I have old experience 24 male

[vital umbra]

never seen the age and sex in a looking to play message before, this isn't dating my guy 🤭

#1024264966712340510

[snow flicker]

was thinking the same 😭

So whats overall better for the plains, frostner or porcupine?

[fair cairn]

its already a great game even with out the sale

[shrewd shard]

Yeah

[merry dock]

IMO porcupine better for general plains play (slightly better dps, substantially better against lox) but frostner far better for yag

[snow flicker]

alright

still considering either silver sword or frostner for yagluth lol

[wispy path]

i like silver sword for killing yag, but frostner is great for entering the mistlands with

[tacit crystal]

Porcupine better for damage and against Loxen, Frostner better for crowd control for it's slow effect and against Yagluth.

[snow flicker]

so I should use frostner for village threat control, and porcupine for mostly casual/general plains gameplay?

[tacit crystal]

For example, if you want to keep using 1h clubs as your main weapon.

[snow flicker]

clubs is currently my main weapons yes. But i usually bandwagon over to the next best item mace or not

[tacit crystal]

Both are good during Plains. Frostner however, keeps being useful even during the next biomes after Plains too.

[snow flicker]

yeah ill keep that noted and keep it on me

I fought a soldier seeker after killing moder with frostner because the bonemass ability is really great for the mistlands lol, and I just got curious.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, Seekers are one reason why Frostner is useful there. They resist all physical damage types but take normal damage from elemental damage types, so Frostner deals bit more damage against them per hit than blackmetal weapons.
Although Soldiers have a weak point that is weak against all damage types.

[snow flicker]

ill keep that in note

I have never been very deep in the mistlands because ive just never progressed that far, but Im always way too curious lol. Ill catch myself wondering in the mist way underpowered

[tacit crystal]

Let's say that Yagluth's drops help you explore Mistlands easier.

[snow flicker]

ive heard

friend accidentally spoiled it too me pretty sure

But I hope his drop isnt too useful. I like traversing the unknown mist

makes it exciting

[ancient agate]

Thanks again, this is game changing for my seed shopping.

It seems like altitude 30 is approximately sea level based on just inspecting the borders of the 'Shallows' areas on the world generator.

[merry pebble]

seems like between 20 and 30, yeah 🙂

[fair cairn]

isnt the silver sword the best weapon against yag?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, but there I was comparing Porcupine and Frostner.

[maiden ridge]

ok guys ill try to play full vanilla and see how it goes

i only made it past Eikhtyr full vanilla before

[bronze laurel]

can i join you ?

[maiden ridge]

yes

whats your steam and region?

[bronze laurel]

ill pm you

[versed parcel]

Wonder if there'll be a trader npc in each biome eventually
not sure if they have that planned for 1.0 but it could be neat

I'm just not entirely sure what other stuff something like a plains, mistlands trader could sell

[minor ingot]

self host or server? im down to join too but i grind a lot ._.

[maiden ridge]

self host

dm me steamid

[minor ingot]

im alright. unless you will be hosting dedicated server. gotta grind with others are offline xD thx ❤️

[tiny tiger]

Paintingsssss

Home decor trader

[versed parcel]

oh true

could be like a builder's workshop guy surrounded by a birch forest in the plains

[tiny tiger]

I think plains would be perfect for a home decor trader tbh considering how much of the biomes resources are used in upgrading your base

[versed parcel]

maybe he'd sell something that would let you make blackmetal nails
blackmetal is pretty abundant so using it for furniture wouldn't be too crazy

or I dunno
blackmetals screws I guess
whole other thing

[tiny tiger]

Maybe something like a functional gate bridge which you can raise and lower

[versed parcel]

that would be sick

[tiny tiger]

hopefully it would be big enough to fit a lox through

[versed parcel]

could be several sizes

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings!

[cosmic igloo]

hi :)

[versed solar]

when i pick up pie from oven does it take my cooking skill in account or the foraging skill

[teal matrix]

That seems self explanatory

[versed solar]

no because we are "picking up" from the oven and my cooking skill is almost 0

[tiny tiger]

Cooking skill, you have a chance to get bonus pies

[versed solar]

so dont get it how i got 2 pies from a single pick up

i had like 2 cooking skill at that point

[tiny tiger]

It’s a very low chance

[teal matrix]

There's still a chance of bonus regardless of skill level

[versed solar]

ok

[teal matrix]

Foraging from the oven, smh

[versed solar]

yea it is possible cos we are "picking it up from the oven" its the same type of action command as foraging when we "pick up" berries, if you know a bit of programming you will understand what im talking about , many games have this kinda issues when they are in early access so just wanted to make sure no biggie

[woven shuttle]

Hello people

[tiny tiger]

Good afternoon

[tiny tiger]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cooking_(Skill) here’s the wiki page for it that goes more in depth on what affects the cooking skill

[woven shuttle]

Dudes is it usual to mostly play this singleplayer

Or am i missing out by not going multiplayer

[pliant hatch]

You can do both.

Playing it alone will let you experience the game as it's meant to be.

Playing it with friends in co-op will let you experience the game how it can be.
Some tasks will be easier to be done, but monsters will have more HP, so killing them will be somewhat harder.

[cosmic igloo]

yea single/multi works equally good imo

[gray sand]

It is a singleplayer game. Fully.

It happens to have co-op.

Source: the devs themselves.

[sour furnace]

I'm not really sure why people like two-handers. like, i get it, they look awesome, and they're so cool, but they're worse in every physical category. they don't even have a higher dps why would you use them? (i actually want to know I'm getting bored of my shields)

[gray sand]

They used to have full cleave. No multi-target penalty. (Swords)

Currently buggered.

Atgeirs are fucking awesome though.
And Hammers is just the best crowd control in the game.

[sour furnace]

so all that just for full cleave?

[gray sand]

If you don't understand how powerful full cleave is, I can't help you.

[sour furnace]

IMO the best crowd control is sprinting😆

[shy marlin]

Sprinting isn't really a crowd control

[gray sand]

That isn't crowd control. That's you sprinting.

[sour furnace]

fair

[shy marlin]

Sprinting, walking, dodging, and blocking are all defensive capabilities that are reactive, crowd control is more of a proactive move

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping too

[craggy niche]

Swimming too. Cross river and shoot at wading enemies.

[sour furnace]

'if i were a _viking i wouldn't touch water with a 39 and a half-foot pole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[craggy niche]

There are only four types of enemies that can catch a swimming viking:

• serpents (duh)
• leeches
• any blob
• loxes

[vocal rivet]

Any flying mob.

[ancient agate]

I feel like some ranged enemies should get honorable mention on this list. Like spear throwing fulings

[sour furnace]

the cursed greydwarf

[ancient agate]

If Drake were ever near water, that would be a bummer. Wet and getting hit by frost projectiles with knockback

[craggy niche]

For aggro flying mobs near water/ocean, guess I'll just die (every boat cruising by a foggy plains)

[fallen zephyr]

Don't forget that skeletons, draugr, and ticks (at least) can cane across the bottom of the water like it doesn't exist.

[craggy niche]

If they were out of range when they start swimming, they should stay out of range. If you start swimming while in range, this is not a defensive move.

[sour furnace]

lox. WHY DO LOX SWIM!!!!!!!

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn't they?

[pliant hatch]

Because they like to keep the Fuling flees out of ther fur?

[craggy niche]

Aren't they reptilian? Partially?

[plush umbra]

think that's never been confirmed but i like to believe they're something close to reptilian.

[fallen zephyr]

Not sure how their Class would lend much evidence to their swimming ability (or lack thereof).

[vocal rivet]

Lizard + Ox is fairly conclusive.

[craggy niche]

Trying to generalize:

• All blobs swim.
• All reptiles swim, e.g. neck (or just fly).

[fallen zephyr]

Taxonomic class has close to zero value when determining the abilities of individual species.

[vocal rivet]

Necks don't fly.

[craggy niche]

(In terms of valheim taxonomy).

I mean drakes fly (if we consider them reptilian at all)

[plush umbra]

i would say "they don't lay eggs" but they were made breedable before the first certainly egg-laying animal was added so maybe they just didn't consider an egg-laying mechanic worth implementing just for lox until chickens would've made it really awkward to birth chicks directly

[craggy niche]

How do necks breed?

[fallen zephyr]

via hickeys.

[vocal rivet]

They don't, not ingame at least.

[nocturne wolf]

They can't because we can't tame them

[craggy niche]

Or do they just regrow after being sliced up?

[nocturne wolf]

Asksvins lay eggs so necks would probably do that too

[plush umbra]

necks grow off of a torso like a fruit

[fallen zephyr]

So... necks breed through decapitation?

[plush umbra]

exactly
that sentence gets more stupid each time i read it

[craggy niche]

So decapitated neck = 2 necks = 1 regrown torso + 1 regrown head?

Or does the population remain stable by only regrowing from the torso?

Since vikings only collect the heads and tails for some reason

[odd helm]

Imagine that your chest of neck tails eventually just regrow into a swarm of necks

[fallen zephyr]

Greydwarves - They're mammalian, but I expect that they have some kind of sequential hermaphrodeity. Greylings are juveniles.
Trolls - Mammals... death by snu snu.
Skeletons - Necromancy
Wolves - no explanation needed.
Drakes - Best I can figure drakes are bred in a similar manner to the Surinam toad. The eggs are not theirs; Moder drops eggs on the occasions she trounces vikings that spawn her and tries to breed dragons, then pops drakes off her back as 'nest defence'.
Golems - Moder magic maybe?
Draugr - Mammals (don't get involved, trust me).
All blobs - Whatever the equivalent of full-entity mitosis is.
Leeches - no explanation needed
Fulings - Mammals
Lox - Mammals
Seekers - Obviously insects
Gjall - I feel like they're probably broadcast spawners.

[odd helm]

Aren't greydwarves just reanimated wood and stones

[plush umbra]

they are

[odd helm]

Would be equally as necromantic as skeletons and draugr

[plush umbra]

-# reanimated implies they were once animate

[fallen zephyr]

Cool cool. Elder magic for them then

[odd helm]

-# animate wood and stones then~

[craggy niche]

What are leviathans in that taxonomy?

[odd helm]

And I kinda figured drakes work like bees - you have the drakes themselves as drones and the queen bee being Moder that actually does all the egg laying

[fallen zephyr]

Well, that would explain the Greydwarves tradition of celebrating Helen's birthday.

[plush umbra]

it's implied by runestones that the forsaken are canonically present somewhere in valheim without being summoned first, though not exactly confirmed i think

[fallen zephyr]

I mean, the obvious is turtles (so reptiles), but their size might indicate some convergent evolution and they're actually cetaceans.

[plush umbra]

ulf has two runestones in the mountains about hiding from moder flying overhead

[fallen zephyr]

Why is nobody concerned about Gjall being broadcast spawners?!

[plush umbra]

i haven't even had breakfast yet my brain's at 2%

[odd helm]

-# what does broadcast spawner mean again

[craggy niche]

Confirmed that moder poops.

[gray sand]

-# Something that creates radio stations.

[plush umbra]

some forsaken are definitely more magical than others, moder seems to be almost a normal animal

[fallen zephyr]

Less mutated at least, for sure.

That might be why she's called Moder...

She's more average.

[odd helm]

https://tenor.com/view/death-stare-sesame-street-confused-bert-angry-gif-17936179

[fallen zephyr]

Think female fish laying eggs over a broad area and then all the male fish coming in all over the place.

[serene talon]

i like how epic drakes are depicted in the texts, and then you see the flying pool noodles

[plush umbra]

that doesn't seem too concerning considering their already strange appearance

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, drakes are pretty pathetic really. It's like one of the graphic designers just locked the aspect ratio and dragged the bat image to be larger.

[plush umbra]

granted, the only female we see is moder

[fallen zephyr]

Does Yagluth have a sex if they don't have a bottom half?

[plush umbra]

texts always refer to yaggy with he/him and i'd imagine that doesn't come from nowhere

[odd helm]

Yagluth was king of the fulings, became undead, no?

[serene talon]

wich doesn't make it that much better, she looks cool but probably had too much of the funny juice from odins mead cellar

[craggy niche]

Clearly cannot poop.

[plush umbra]

least powerful forsaken

[serene talon]

one further reason to add my suggestion where you fight his lower half as a miniboss

[fallen zephyr]

This is my favourite response, because it was the only one that didn't imply an "umm, ackually..."

[odd helm]

Yagluth's legs as a vanity item like moon lord

[gray sand]

Yagluth's Legs is the Deep North boss.

[fallen zephyr]

The soundtrack could be ZZ Top - Legs

[plush umbra]

oh gosh imagine how silly that'd look

[serene talon]

plot twist: yagluth never skipped leg day, and thus his legs are incredibly strong

[plush umbra]

upgrading from dropping into valheim with a rag tunic and no pants to dropping in with a rag tunic and no flesh on your legs

[craggy niche]

So is Bonemass a blob or also another entity missing lower extremities?

[fallen zephyr]

imagine the savings you could make on crafting materials if you didn't need pants!

[serene talon]

maybe there are legs under there somewhere

[plush umbra]

there are probably many legs somewhere in there

[odd helm]

Bonemass is an amalgam of so many corpses, so yeah~

[serene talon]

beaten me to it by 5 seconds

[fallen zephyr]

Bonemass is a fun anomoly. He has all the bones, including those required for legs, but chose to just envelope them into his blobic structure.

[gray sand]

You could say Bonemass is a... meeting of the minds.

😏

[odd helm]

-# I don't think there's a lot of brain matter left there tbh

-# just bone and goop

[plush umbra]

-# but clearly some sapience remains judging by the trophy dialogue

[gray sand]

-# So it's like Congress? Many brains meet and somehow lose all sense of brain?

[fallen zephyr]

I read that Bonemass is a satirical personification of the average supporter of a sports team.

[ancient agate]

I think of them as Lizard Ox - Lox

[plush umbra]

same

[craggy niche]

Is the sentient component the bone or the goop?

[odd helm]

-# that seemed more like possession by the myriad souls that bonemass was

[serene talon]

we thought legs were the best method to walk, but a giant blob can truly corss everything

[plush umbra]

-# who's to say they're not actively there, just held against their will?

[fallen zephyr]

What makes you think Bonemass is sentient?

[craggy niche]

In other words, is Bonemass still Bonemass without bone or without goop?

Like a pull of bones or just a pile of goop. Is it still Bonemass?

[serene talon]

i mean he talks to you

[odd helm]

-# well yeah it's against their will~ and us killing it seemed to have released at least most of them

[fallen zephyr]

So does Siri.

[pliant hatch]

If you wait a while with a Bonemass trophy in your house, you may get a message telling you that you released "us" and "they" are thankful for it.

I'd say that means they're pretty much aware.

[craggy niche]

Chinese room argument. Well played.

[plush umbra]

yea that's what i was referring to

[odd helm]

It's more of a 'we're finally free, we're thanking you before departing forever' kinda situation, ignoring the part that the trophy will repeat the dialogue on occasion

Gameplay and story segregation

[plush umbra]

same way as it probably isn't canon that we can repeat forsaken fights

gameplay concession in case you want extra trophies or lost the item

[craggy niche]

They speak to us after decapitation the same way that dead people involuntarily contract muscles to poop?

[fallen zephyr]

Generally, if all the Valheim bosses are sentient, that's a pretty terrible existence. They sit in some kind of ethereal waiting room until some putz drops the right number of the correct item into a bubbling bowl, or a carved stone thing, only for them to appear and fight for their life until they get beaten to the point of having to return to their purgatorial prison.

[odd helm]

-# what is it with y'all and poop today

[plush umbra]

i mean it's implied they're all wandering around valheim or doing something to achieve their goal

but also yea, valheim is meant to be a prison for them, punishment

[gray sand]

Summoning the world tree from their summoning circles until you disrupt them.

[fallen zephyr]

How old do you reckon the magazines are in that waiting room?

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps curious about it. I guess they've never replaced a diaper before. Or cleansed a baby butt after the kiddo filled up a diaper a bit too much.....

[plush umbra]

probably all about how the last veins of iron have been mined

[serene talon]

"Giant found dead in the middle of Ginnuganap!" probably

[plush umbra]

maybe they steal some more up to date magazines from the dvergr

[craggy niche]

-# Just a bodily function that vikings do not have, but other creatures do

[serene talon]

"Somehow, Balrog returned... as an insect?!"

[fallen zephyr]

"Morgen destroys another Dvergr settlement as defenders inexplicably sprint head-long into lava pit!".

[plush umbra]

oh i can picture it so clearly

[fallen zephyr]

"Dvergr first home owners perplexed at the cost of building with Ashwood"

"Seven Dvergr children dead as Viking stranger runs behind school picnic while being pursued by Asksvin"

[serene talon]

so true, especially since you are being swarmed by skeletons and its a finite ressource

"Northern Lights spotted in the Ashlands after ominous bell sounds"

[fallen zephyr]

"Viking stranger survives insurmountable odds from charred monsters when inadvertently drawing the ire of nearby Valkyrie"

[odd helm]

Northern lights in the south edge? That's concerning~

[serene talon]

suprisingly they are green

and there even is a meteorite falling down

[plush umbra]

i've not been in ashlands since any of the balancing changes so i don't know how true that still is but gosh yea, i think in all my time there i had maybe three combat encounters that didn't involve a valkyrie

[fallen zephyr]

If this is true, that means the next expansion is the 'Deep South', and that feels like a very different beast.

[serene talon]

or its the dvergr misinterpreting the ashlands bossfight

[fallen zephyr]

I mean, if anyone pulls aggro from a Valkyrie and they're not using that spinning attack to damage other mobs, they're missing out.

[glacial temple]

if boar get inrepted in taming, does 30 min timer reset?

[light moat]

Nope, just pauses

Just wait for it to calm down, and it should resume eating/taming

[vocal rivet]

It will use more food though.

[glacial temple]

understood

[fallen zephyr]

You go, boi! Carb loading!

[glacial temple]

what other items can be used in boar time except mushrooms?

[pliant hatch]

Carrots and berries

[plush umbra]

i just wished there was more variety, there's no "this fight is charred and a morgen, and this one is charred and asksvin, and every now and then you get charred and a valkyrie", it felt like every fight was just "this fight is charred, asksvin, voltures, a valkyrie and 1-2 morgen"
it's funny, it's the biome with the largest enemy variety, and yet it feels the smallest to me because you're always fighting almost all of them at once

[gray sand]

Turnips

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, Ashlands is boring to play and feels rushed to release. Grausten is a fun material to work with, but interchangeable pieces are poor, and WTF are those 'roof corners'?

[tacit crystal]

Poop jokes are still funny despite being an adult.

[craggy niche]

There are also the unexplained outhouses since EA release.

Every POI has lore about it including the trees/greydwarves, boars, draugr villages, and skeletons in the caves. But the outhouses? Vikings don't poop, but someone is clearly using these structures. Discovering that Moder could poop is relevant, but Moder would not be using outhouses.

-# Equips tin foil hat

[serene talon]

why would moder not use outhouses

its more civilised

[sour furnace]

eikthyr: a magical stag that can bring down mountains with antlers sharp as steel, and and who's great thunderous running is heard across the land, ruler over all the creatures of the meadows. Moder: has a lot of babies

[serene talon]

eikthyr: dead in 5 seconds
moder: at least 13 minute fight where you miss all the time

[hearty niche]

Valheim has me thinkin that Vikings were naturally buoyant.

[glacial temple]

where do i offer eikthyr trophy

[hearty niche]

Are you asking what to do with the Eikthyr trophy ?

[glacial temple]

yeah

i got it

so is the buff permanent?

[hearty niche]

Nope, 5 minutes. Look in the upper right and you'll see a little timer

[tacit crystal]

It's usable for 5 mins when activate and has cooldown of 20 mins.

[hearty niche]

There are 2 timers - the one in the upper right says how much time remains for the buff, the one in the lower left is the amount of time until you can use it again.

[glacial temple]

so i have to kill the boss again to get it just for 5 mins?

[hearty niche]

No - you have the power now and can use it whenever you want.

[vocal rivet]

Unless its on cool down.

[glacial temple]

oh

[pliant hatch]

On top of that, you will be able to switch out the Eikthyr buff for another one later, depending at which boss you have killed.

Personally I think keeping the Eikthyr bonus until after you defeated the third boss, then switch for his buff is the best thing to do.
The 2nd boss' buff is a bit useless, unless you intend to create a large load of charcoal. Or build a lot with wood.

[ancient agate]

This sounds very frightening

[glacial temple]

how do i make my pet boar follow me

[ancient agate]

You cannot, but you can push them or set up fences and scare them with a torch

[pliant hatch]

Or use an abysmal harpoon and drag them.

[ancient agate]

For 2 stars, you can use the abyssal harpoon to drag them

Boars might die to too many harpoon hits

Watch the hp

So, on the Valheim World Generator there are a lot of "Shallows", but that's not a Biome. Do y'all find that it's usually just the closest land Biome there or is is a split between that and Ocean

[glacial temple]

i had 1 star boar, i was building near the place i kept, by mistakenly destroyed fence and they ran off

[pliant hatch]

Was that boar tamed by you in the wild lands?

If so, you may find it close to where you tamed it the first time.
Unless it's killed, which is also likely.

[glacial temple]

boar was tamed near my house (fencing boundary)

[pliant hatch]

In that case it may not have gone too far away.

[sterile frost]

whats a good armor for the mistlands? i feel like im getting bodied

[sour furnace]

i used root harnesk and padded, then switched over to fenris helmet and greaves slowly as i got comfortable

[shy marlin]

Just make sure to carry some barley wine if you're runnin root harnesk and not very comfortable with gjalls

[vivid shale]

just fully maxed out padded

[pliant hatch]

Valheim exploration:

You sail to check out several islands to become a permanent base, you return with 120 tin ore.

[rapid lance]

Everytime we say "We should make a base here to make less trips" then we're like "ugh do we haaavee tooooo?"

[fair cairn]

for me its like, ooh free tin!

[craggy niche]

Boat is the base.

[pliant hatch]

That won't work for me, as I'm going to work with a main base and a portal hub under the Elder altar.

[vocal rivet]

Portal hubs AKA lag factories.

[pliant hatch]

You got a better solution?

[vocal rivet]

4 hubs. Just rename as needed.

[pliant hatch]

4 portal hubs?
And that won't generate lag?

[vocal rivet]

4 portals...

[pliant hatch]

Leading where?

[fiery jacinth]

Places

tbh most efficient it'd be to just have one portal that you keep renaming if you are concerned about lag

[warm sandal]

I usually have one portal per biome to be renamed, a boat and pocketportal and en exit portal if i get stuck somewhere with a unconnected portal 😄

never had to much lag with those..they are spread out in little houses and do not activate all at once by me running by 😄

[wintry valve]

does vram affects draw distance in this game?

[craggy niche]

No portals + immersive for most of my runs, so boat house it is

[cosmic igloo]

lmao asksvin cloak + eikthyr = regen stamina while running

thats crazy actually

[sour furnace]

really?

[nocturne wolf]

With Eikthyr, Lightfoot mead and feather cape you can do the same with jumping

[sour furnace]

how abt. death run?

[gray sand]

Jumping? You mean Catapulting Self?

[tiny tiger]

Brother I already disclaimed this like a few weeks ago with a source from the devs themselves…

[gray sand]

We still aren't related.

[tiny tiger]

You aren’t human?

If you are then we’re related enough

[gray sand]

No.

[tiny tiger]

I just don’t understand why you are so hellbent on the this is a singeplayer game with a side of multiplayer narrative

[gray sand]

Because it is reality.

[tiny tiger]

There’s literally a GDC talk where they state different

[cosmic igloo]

yo igod i did all hildir bosses

[tiny tiger]

Let’s go

[cosmic igloo]

based af. i wish there was like 20+ of those

[tiny tiger]

More unique dungeons would be dope which one did you like the most

[cosmic igloo]

the sealed tower fight was great

i like that it was in a tight space as well

[pliant hatch]

Now it's time to face the one in Ashlands......

[tiny tiger]

I’m not even sure I did the fight right because I was maxed plains gear and just parry stunlocked the boss with bonemass on so 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic igloo]

did that one already by accident

[cosmic igloo]

ah yea im just playing on vh

[tiny tiger]

Ima need to try vh soon

[cosmic igloo]

its great but i miss parrying

[tiny tiger]

Gimme like another 100 hours and I’ll maybe have beaten fader lol (on my current playthrough)

[cosmic igloo]

ya fader is a nice fight

can be aids if u wanna melee tho, like he gets stuck in a loop casting spells so u cant rly get close to hit him

[tiny tiger]

Im most excited for 3 things in particular with Ashland’s, that being the lightning axes, flaming sword and catapults

[cosmic igloo]

this vid is good tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D50aylOaGw, from scales

[light moat]

Finally maxed out my run skill, first time getting a skill to 100 lol

[tiny tiger]

Nice dude, how far in the game are you on that character?

I believe I just hit 70 last time I played and I’d say maybe 1/3 of the way through mistlands

[light moat]

Like day 680 or so? Just running around filling out some map at this point lol

[cosmic igloo]

holy moly 680

im day 294 on my main world where i just mess around even tho i completed game

u had that world before mistlands?

[tiny tiger]

I think I’m on like day 205 lol

What day did you beat Ashland’s ??

[cosmic igloo]

its usually like day 150 i think

around there

[tiny tiger]

Makes me wonder what wr speedrun is tbh

[light moat]

Haha yeah I play a lot- this was a pre mistlands world yeah. Think queen was beat by day 350?

[tiny tiger]

Day 680 is crazy tho, that’s like what 226 hours not accounting for skipping night?

[light moat]

I’ve seen some players with over 1000 👀

[tiny tiger]

Your world must look insane

[pliant hatch]

Keep in mind that building a lot does take up quite some time.

[light moat]

I’ll post some pictures and stuff of it later when I get on, but it’s nothing spectacular lol

[tiny tiger]

Oh god my plains base has been a WIP for over atleast 80 ingame days now I’ve just been delaying the resource grind while grinding out mistlands

I think today is the day I go equip that useless elder ability

[cosmic igloo]

wr is like day 35

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EThcL1g1jRM&ab_channel=ThreadMenace

[tiny tiger]

So like an average of 5 days per boss

[untold knoll]

did you guys see the new game created by runescape game dev. jagex, its runescape but valhiem. its very strange. its still in early development but i watched my friend play who knows nothing about valhiem but everything about runescape and was able to help out with my valhiem knowledge cx

[warm sandal]

Thread usually has eik down on day one 😄 and elder day 2 to 4 tops... that guy is fast... 😄

[shy marlin]

semi outdated but it's a good start for his patterns 👍 , i have more accurate flowcharts floating around somewhere

[tiny tiger]

Do you have any images or link?

[light moat]

I’m curious too, but we should probably have the conversation in General chat 🤓🚨

[untold knoll]

I dont but I ll see if I can record my friends playing. i ll post in gen when i get more info

[radiant pulsar]

Anyone have any experience getting into centre tower of Fortress? Battering Ram v Digging under a corner. Also with Ram, which wall to destroy - spiked door or one of the other 3 walls? Thanks

[static ruin]

Aren't people who are playing it under an NDA right now? You may not want to admit this in a public Discord.

You won't get in trouble for recording, but they may.

[woeful prawn]

Anyone got a ETA on the new biome update?

[vocal rivet]

Deep North won't be until very late next year at the absolute earliest.

[woeful prawn]

😢

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[woeful prawn]

Bruh me and the homies wana explore something new 😢

[vocal rivet]

Ok?

[static ruin]

outside has some great biomes you should check out

[woeful prawn]

I live in a warzone.....

If i go outside i bet i will get hit by a fpv drone

Or artillery

[static ruin]

im gonna be honest

i dont think being inside is gonna stop you from being hit by artillery

[woeful prawn]

I dont get targeted atleast

Russians are crazy people

[vocal rivet]

🟦🟨

[static ruin]

i have friends in both ukraine and russia, im thankful theyre all ok

i stand by my mediocre joke, though, outside got hella biomes

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, but they're only got Ashlands.

[woeful prawn]

Thats crazy

[untold knoll]

i havent signed any nda

but true i dont want to throw a friend under the bus

[woven shuttle]

Dudes is there a plan on full release? Not complaining BTW. I dig playing the game while theyre adding stuff to it all the time

[vocal rivet]

Of course there's a plan.

[rapid marsh]

what's the max pop in a server in valheim?

[light moat]

10 in vanilla

[odd helm]

That's a question for #mods-discussion, our main channels are strictly vanilla

[brave jolt]

does anyone have the pattern to the crochet lox?

https://bsky.app/profile/darthredsky.bsky.social/post/3ldmnuma7o22j

[crude pine]

anyone know any mods that add more character customization specifically the hair

[teal matrix]

Try #mods-discussion

[obtuse wigeon]

Just wanted to say officially I'm a massive fan, ( I've clocked over 2000 hours ) I have loved the whole process, even though I have rage quitted the Ashlands on two occasions I eventually beat Fader I have a video posted on my steam if anyone is interested lol. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links here so DM me. Love all the work you guys (devs ands testers) are doing. Thank you so much for making this game!

[cosmic summit]

is leather armor worth it to make or should i just run around naked until i can get troll armor?

[vital umbra]

well....do you want to run around looking naked...

i know i never usually do

[storm mica]

sound like a party

[cosmic summit]

im just wondering if the armor it give is enough to make any difference

[vital umbra]

from nothing to something is a difference

truthfully every single armor set makes a difference compared to the one prior (in your case prior meaning nudity) no matter how much people gripe about the upgrades not being worth a small upgrade to armor overall...

[storm mica]

@cosmic summit it give you the armor rating before you craft it and if I'm not wrong I thing it's a % system

[sour furnace]

It's a very weird system, but if something does 100 DMG and you have 50 armor you take 50 DMG but if something does 100 damage and you have..... 75..... armor then you take like 28 damage. basically, if you have comparatively low armor, it's base damage minus armor, but every armor point more than half of attack base damage is worth less and less.

Quoting the fandom: If armor is less than half of raw damage, health lost = damage - armor. But if armor is more than half of the damage, health lost = (Damage/(Armor*4))*Damage.https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[wet locust]

Bro I’ve looked everywhere for turnip seeds in the damn swamp WHERE ARE THEY HELP.

[storm mica]

anybody looking to start a world at a weird time like this? I've got hella beer

[wispy path]

they're easy to miss, especially at night

[wet locust]

Especially when I’m being chased by 6 draugr, 2 elites, and 3 leaches

[wispy path]

welp, there's a reason most people seem to quit at the swamps 😄

[lost sentinel]

nothing really gives me the adventure feeling like sailing in a storm while listening to outer wilds "the river"

[storm mica]

My favorite part is dying at sea actually

[wet locust]

I laughed when I saw your pfp because that cat is making the exact face I thought in my mind when reading that text 😂

[storm mica]

it be how the beer got me lookin

[wet locust]

🍻

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[glacial temple]

How do I find troll more easily, I only could found him once in Black forest

[tacit crystal]

Troll caves for example, found around Black Forest.

[idle storm]

troll caves. Go mining for copper at night. Or if you're in the swamp the love potion from the bog witch.

[glacial temple]

I couldn't find any ores in Black forest

[tiny tiger]

is there some kind of trick to the love potions? I used one while running through the bf and only 1, 1 star troll spawned in the entire 5 min period

just keep looking, tin is found along water in the black forest and copper has a chance to generate anywhere

[fossil oar]

Copper looks like giant green rocks, you've definitely seen them theyre impossible to miss. It will also say "copper deposit" when you look at them

Tin is shiny and only spawns near water, so run along the coastline and you'll find it

Neither of them are rare at all

[glacial temple]

What Armor level is recommended to explore black forest? I get crowded and eventually have to run away from that place, I'm at Armor 10

[opal prairie]

Copper ore might at first look like a gaint stone and you might have missed it because of that.
Also most of the copper is found underground, mine the earth with the antler pickaxe since you can fix it on a workbench when it breaks and use better pickaxes on the copper.

[opal prairie]

It should be doable in the gear you used to beat eikthyr with.

[fossil oar]

Eh, my perception of armor is pretty skewed since i use light armor from like 3 biomes behind.
If you can get a full troll hide set thats plenty imo

[lost sentinel]

wtf is a love potion what update did i not play

[opal prairie]

Bog witch, sells ingredients to make new meads.

Found in the swamp.

[lost sentinel]

guess it’s time to boot up my save and find some new swamps

[opal prairie]

Start fresh, so all swamps are new?

[lost sentinel]

don’t have the patience

not time for another major playthrough quite yet

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[opal prairie]

I can get that sentiment.

[tiny tiger]

I’ve not found a use for the love potion yet, seems to give 1 troll every use so it’s not a good money making method

maybe the joke is that love potions are a waste of money

[noble cloud]

Are there any French players?

[vocal rivet]

I'd imagine so. Take a look in #1024264966712340510

[long ice]

Good morning! Does the number of players in the world influence the difficulty?

[vocal rivet]

To a degree, yes.

[plush umbra]

enemies gain 4% more damage and 30% effective health for every player within 100 meters of that enemy

up to 5 players

[long ice]

Thank you very much, I've had this question for a long time

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the birds. They are reliable source of information. 🙂

[vocal rivet]

I don't think either of them mention that.

[tiny tiger]

Finally crafted the seal-breaker, after work I’ll be heading over to the queens fortress and making my final preparations, can’t wait to try her for the first time

[pliant hatch]

You can enter it, but don't go to the upper floor, as she's already spawned.
The only boss you don't have to summon

[tiny tiger]

Going with a melee set up, frostner and himmin afl, lvl 3 carapace, lvl 4 root harnesk, major healing pots, lingering stamina, ratatosk and contemplating crafting up some berserker meads and obviously taking bonemass ability

[idle storm]

himminafl can be difficult to use since a lot of the arena is stairs
also i'd suggest packing some bile bombs if you have spare bile bags, they're very useful for dealing with the adds.

[tiny tiger]

That’s a good idea I’ve still not tried them so I just have all the bile bags I’ve collected so far sitting in a chest

[tacit crystal]

Himminafl is good for adds at least.

Demolisher is also solid.

[tiny tiger]

Demolisher goes off club ability?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, 2h hammers use Clubs skill

[tiny tiger]

hmm might consider crafting one up but I believe it takes iron right?

[tacit crystal]

You probably have higher clubs skill lvl as you carry Frostner I bet.

[tacit crystal]

Yes.

[idle storm]

yeah, quite a lot of it too

[tiny tiger]

I currently have about a farts worth of iron in my chest so I’ll skip it this time

[tacit crystal]

But your setup seems good enough. Bilebombs, as mentioned, are good to carry too.

[tiny tiger]

I’ve got clubs at 62 and atgeir at 41

[tacit crystal]

I suggest carrying some Tasty meads for quick stamina regen boost.

[tiny tiger]

That’s a good idea

[idle storm]

also poison resist mead

some of her attacks do poison

[tiny tiger]

I’m thinking then I get to the top where it’s flat and go all out then jump down and use tasty meads while I’m untouchable in the air

[idle storm]

pretty much the way to go for melee. The option to just jump off when you need a breather is invaluable.

[stray oyster]

hi who wants to start a new world with me

[pliant hatch]

You may find someone if you ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[stray oyster]

thankyou!

[pliant hatch]

yw

[spark summit]

do dvergr forget that you stole from them, at some point ?

[nocturne wolf]

If they're angry, they'll stay that way until you kill them

[spark summit]

ok thanks

do they notice a theft while they are fighting 15m away ?...

[opal prairie]

Probably.
A few ways to deal with dvergr, without making them angry:

• Ram a cart repeatedly into stuff till it breaks, and pick up what was dropped.
• Scatter refined eitr arround and it will also damage stuff and maybe even kill some dvergr for you.
• Get a pufferfish and toss it against dvergr, the dvergr will die eventually.
• Kite a gjall, soldier or seekers to them and let them battle it out, also doable with lox if close to the plains.

[spark summit]

nice thanks

[glacial temple]

I asked wrong question 😅, is there anything better than knife for caves/mobs in black forest, I feel my attacks are bit weak

[pliant hatch]

Club / mace will work well against skellies for sure. I think axes / swords / knifes should work better against Greydwarves (personal opinion), but not everyone agrees with that.

[idle storm]

club for skellies, spear or bow for everything else

[opal prairie]

You can't go wrong with the finewood bow, clubs are fine as well.
If you make a karve and venture out to sea with a pickaxe you can find sea creatures that have barnacles and you can make a really great knife.
Also good to have is the buckler and learning how to parry, with the right combination of foods you can basically stagger any mob in the black forest and tear into them with the knife.

[idle storm]

if you're having trouble with getting surrounded try the atgeir, it's basically a "get out of melee free" card

[tacit crystal]

Spear is excellent choice for melee against Trolls and Greydwarves.

[regal spoke]

Spear is great through much of the game. I don't replace mine until Mistlands.

[trail pelican]

i replace mine every couple of secondary attacks

[regal spoke]

Lol I've lost a few yeeting in the mountains

[rancid moth]

Algume BR?

[gray sand]

English server.

[gray sand]

I'm weird because I almost never throw mine 😄

[fiery jacinth]

Any battleaxe enjoyers in chat?

[trail pelican]

battleaxe is good

not enough of them rn

[gray sand]

Wish the first attack was like... 0.2s faster but yeah.

[regal spoke]

I throw mine typically at melee range. Less chance to lose it. However, throwing in player groups is a fun experience. "Here bud have a spear"

[pliant hatch]

Playing "fetch" with friends instead of a dog / wolf.

Well, that's a way to play the game, I s'pose.

[vocal rivet]

Don't knock people actually playing the game.

[old flint]

first night in new save: 13 greydwarf train chasin me

[lean mountain]

the stat diff between biomes is ridiculous
I went back to swamp for bloodbags with a blackmetal tower shield
I'm immortal
I just lift the shield and I'm immortal
2 star draugr? no problem, 1 star elite? no problem
abomination? melted with a black metal knife while it was still standing up

[gray sand]

"player groups" and "a fun experience"

🤢

[pliant hatch]

You bring gear from two biomes higher to an area and are surprised it's so much better?
Never paid attention to what the monsters from a higher biome did in the lower biomes?

[odd marsh]

welllll blackmetal stuff is from a higher tier biome soo yea sounds about right destroying everything at the swamp

[oblique epoch]

Fact check:
The latest dev blog contains LIES

[pliant hatch]

Really?
Explain?

[oblique epoch]

We have only had about 3 days of snow in skövde this winter

in the blog they claim "its getting cold and snowy here in our northern part of the world"

that referring to skövde, the resident city of the studio

the lie is the "snowy" part

do better irongate tsk tsk

[vocal rivet]

Does this relate to the game at all?

[pliant hatch]

And what if the day that blog is posted - which is actually shown - it was getting cold and snowy?
That means it wasn't a lie at the time, but that the future only caught up with what was written at the time.

[oblique epoch]

Let me fact check that for a sec

[tacit crystal]

Well we have had much snow so that part is true to me.

[oblique epoch]

blog came out on December 18th, the last snow from what I remember melted 1-2 weeks prior

[vocal rivet]

Also, 'our Northern part of the world' doesn't just mean the town their office is in.

Also also, holy shit have we got better things to be talking about?

[tacit crystal]

Lapland is always snowy at least.

[oblique epoch]

I think you are taking this too seriously

[pliant hatch]

Also, if the line is based upon the weather reports, keep in mind they're not predictions, but expectations.

And - as a saying goes - "nothing is as unpredictable as the weather".

[vocal rivet]

You're the one that just fact checked the weather from 3 weeks ago 😕

[oblique epoch]

It's all in my memory lol

anyway I just thought it was funny since this christmas season has been pretty warm and non snowy

[pliant hatch]

You are aware that calling a studio "liars" based upon a line in their blog which may be based upon weather expectations can be considered as slander?
Some studios may consider going to court over that, as you harmed their reputation.

[lean mountain]

-_-
nice, thanks
I just find the difference absurd
Yes of course it's from a higher biome, gee, thanks, I didn't noticed
It's just ridiculous how op you become and how irrelevant anything belows that level becomes, same way up

[oblique epoch]

is bro for real 😮

Not to mention you're being ridiculous but you don't just sue someone in sweden, that's super rare

[vocal rivet]

Like every other progression based game? If that didn't happen, I'd be concerned

[cosmic igloo]

lmao they're not gonna sue some random discord user like that

[regal spoke]

I know some people have a lot of PTSD from multiplayer experiences. I've had mostly positive from playing Valheim with others.

[gray sand]

I SEE THROUGH THE LIES OF THE JEDI!!

[regal spoke]

Perhaps. But I'm genuinely having fun in most servers I've jumped in. Almost all from lfg posts here or on Reddit

[tacit crystal]

It's fun with close friends. We've had many hilarious moments together, especially when we were quite new to the game back then lol.

[odd marsh]

idk how but i still managed to get lost in an island LOL

[molten wraith]

using the valheim-map.world can you see ore locations?

[pliant hatch]

Nope

[merry pebble]

You can for ashlands and you can see swamp crypts for iron, but other than that nope

[sour furnace]

am i ready to fight the queen? i have lvl 3 full carapace set, mist hare supreme, honey glazed chicken, mushroom omlette, lvl 3 mistwalker and carapace buckler, feather cape, and 100 bombs. anything else that i should get before i fight her?

vaugeish spoilers

[merry pebble]

Stam and health meads cant hurt, as well as ratatosk tonic 😄

[sour furnace]

oh yeah, i forgot abt the poison meads too

[tacit crystal]

One AoE weapon can be helpful too, like Demolisher or Himminafl, but bombs are good too.

[astral trellis]

JD

[tender topaz]

Are there any chances on the animations changing a bit for the weapon attacks because i despise the fact that I cant hit certain creatures sometime due to a height difference

[rapid marsh]

thank you, just saw the answer now!

[sour furnace]

do crops refresh if you're not around? i keep seeing them grow up right as i portal in

[regal spoke]

That's probably render(?) you're experiencing. Crops will grow while you're away as far as I can tell

[merry pebble]

Yep, their grow timer continues going and they just update their looks when you load the area 🙂

[regal spoke]

So is that render or do we call it something else. Just for accuracy

[merry pebble]

I am not really sure about the correct term

[astral trellis]

someone has a server i can join?

[toxic hinge]

Am usually pretty tolerant tbh. I think its because am just gettin old. When you've co-oped in games online sinced 1997? My patience is getting thinner.

[stray merlin]

my bad i was a little rushed

[pliant hatch]

@toxic hinge I doubt it's that. It's more likely because at your age you're used to "work" for your items, while today it's more like: "I want it all and I want it now!".

So while you're used to play easy, check everything and make sure you're well prepared, younger generations like to rush in half prepared and then complain about things being "poorly balanced".

Been there, done that, still haven't got the T-shirt.

[near furnace]

🤔

[near furnace]

I know the feeling.
I rather play multiplayer alone, and then meet up with people ingame to do things together 😄

[finite crown]

I have a question, how does valheim handle many structures nowdays? when i played it last time it was getting laggy only after having a couple of medium size buildings. And my computer is very highend

[nocturne wolf]

When did you last play? The Hildir’s Request update improved the performance of large structures.

[finite crown]

I quit like 1 month after that update got released.

[nocturne wolf]

It might be a little better now but I’m not sure because I don’t build much

[vocal rivet]

"A couple of medium size buildings" is quite subjective.

[near furnace]

same as before

we have improved alot with it

but since we don't have a cap, you can still build until you hit 1 FPS 😄

[finite crown]

Haha alright, can it be improved further? i'm assuming its not a priority for the developers

[near furnace]

<-- developer

[finite crown]

Was just speaking from experience with other game developers hehe

[near furnace]

😄

I spent like 2 weeks with one of our programmers. just breaking fixing, breaking, fixing things until it became better without breaking stuff 🫡

so 2024 version can handle more build pieces than 2021 version could

or it uses less of your CPU power than it use to

[finite crown]

Yeah, i assume its not an easy issue to fix, i've been asking ( Rust ) developers for years to try and improve with no success

[near furnace]

it's easier to help you fix your PC's performance 😄

so many people run there PC's stock

[finite crown]

Yeah, not gonna overclock.. I'm currently using rtx 3080 and i5-12600K

[near furnace]

RAM?

[finite crown]

32 GB

[near furnace]

speed?

ctrl+alt+del -> activity handler program -> performance tab -> memory

to see speed

alot of people never enabled XMP / EXPO

[finite crown]

Kingston Fury 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL

[near furnace]

do they run at 3200 tho?

or 2133?

[finite crown]

i sent you a screenshot in dms

"I've been asking devs to improve things for years."

How do you suggest we improve it?

"BY IMRPOVING IT OF COURSE"

Ok but how?

"Just make it better, duh."

[tiny tiger]

Bruh every time I approach the queen my laptop crashes on me

Well I’m outta time today I’ll have to fight her tomorrow

[topaz warren]

I, for one, I'm still surprised how good the game runs. I have a 2.7 GHz i7, a GTX 950M, and 16 GB of RAM, on friggin' Linux, and I can still run the game at a decent framerate, no stuttering, at medium-high graphic options. No performance mods, no exotic launch commands. All I had to do was compare the native version with the OpenGL version to see which one performed better.

I don't have many comparisons because I don't play many games, but it still feels like Valheim offers the most while not stressing out the whole system like other games do. I'm impressed.

[shy marlin]

is there a way to make wolves sit so i can better transport them via boat?

[vocal rivet]

You can make them stay by clicking on them, but they will still aggro if you go too near mobs and yeet themselves off the boat.

[snow flicker]

ah okay

i just noticed that making them stay everywhere else makes them still walk around

didnt want them to just walk off the boat

I brought 3 of my like 10 wolves to a skeleton surprise raid, they all died :(.
I now know that I would like a 1* wolf and 2* if possible

[lavish cargo]

How do yall dodge the father stone AOE?

I've never enjoyed valheim combat enough to get good at it, but I've heared people say its possible to learn the patterns and dodge everything, similar to other games I enjoy much more.

I'm working on stuff, so ping on reply.

[unreal veldt]

is it bad that in my friends server we are at day 1167 and we still havent fought bonemass and we have 4 bonemass locations

[steady bough]

what the hell have yall been doin

[unreal veldt]

farming, exploring, mining

[steady bough]

valid I suppose

[unreal veldt]

and im the only one that knows how to beat bonemass and my friends dont want me to spoil it

[tiny tiger]

Is it a server where the days keep passing even when everyone is offline or something?

[supple holly]

If no one is online, the time stands still

[supple holly]

Depends.. Are you enjoying the game, then not.. If getting bored with it, then defeat him and get all new possibilities to progress further in the game

[ancient agate]

I relate to this, had a 2 person server almost that many days in when we killed Bonemass and Moder

[supple holly]

I just defeated the queen.. Reading the stories about Ashlands and no way I am going there yet

[unreal veldt]

My Friend who is the owner of the server just grew like 850 something Onions tonight

While i was Adventuring Around the map

I recently just found Yagluths location and Bog Witch location in the same day

Yagluths location is pretty elusive if you dont look at the valheim map seed generator site

[fair cairn]

not really

you are very likely to find his spawn before finding the thing telling you where the spawn is

[unreal veldt]

The Yagluth i found is Near Mistlands

Which is quite far from Spawn island

My friends server spawn island just has Meadows, Blackforest, 2 Mountain biomes, Haldor and thats it

Its Small

We Have like 5 Bases on the Island

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands was more brutal before, it has been balanced afterwards and is in better state now, but it can still be brutal if not prepared. Munin warns you about warfare so that's what will be expected.

So, take your time and prepare your best foods, meads, upgrade your gear, gather some materials for necessary structures etc. When you get close to the border of Ashlands, place a portal leading to base in nearby island for backup before entering in case things go south. When you get inland try secure a safe spot quickly before trying to get deeper.

Good fortune!

[unreal veldt]

My friends forbid portals

[lost sentinel]

glad to hear i survived brutal ashlands

[unreal veldt]

My Friend has a Reasonable excuse to forbid portals he says it takes the fun out of Adventuring the Oceans

[lost sentinel]

i like oceans but i wouldn’t completely forbid portals i don’t really wanna sail every time i want to check farms

[unreal veldt]

One thing my friend doesnt know is that Barley and Flax can only be farmed in the Plains

[tacit crystal]

That's quite admirable. I haven't tried and probably wouldn't without portals tbh. But no portals is easy to set up from world modifiers.

[unreal veldt]

Most of the time Haldor aint on the Starter island on my singleplayer worlds so i have to use portals

On my friends server world Haldor is on the starter island

[tacit crystal]

I mean, you can change world modifiers in each individual world and your friend can too (for no portals setting for example). So changing world modifiers in one world won't affect to other worlds, just to clarify.

[supple holly]

I'll take it slow for sure... Will go for Hildirs quest first I think..

[mossy glacier]

Hey Guys! I'm new here...

May I know what is the best attack build(I'm at Mistland level now.)

Are magic weapons good than physical ones?

[tacit crystal]

That's your call. Hildir's quest dungeons can be fun sidetrack after Queen. Completing them will grant more merchandise from Hildir.

[tacit crystal]

What weapons do you like using?

[mossy glacier]

I like Clubs.. Frostner! But just now unlocked Magic weapons & tring fire one!

[tacit crystal]

Frostner is very good in Mistlands, thanks to the frost damage which Seekers don't resist, plus slowing effect.
Do you like other weapons? All weapon types can be viable in Mistlands, it depends on the user.

[cosmic igloo]

on normal difficulty, id say magic is about the same as melee

[tacit crystal]

Magic is good in Mistlands too, both Ember and Frost staves deal good damage.

[cosmic igloo]

if mobs have been in water, they are weak to frost dmg from ur frost staff

[tacit crystal]

Magic unlocks a new playstyle which some people find easier than melee.

[cosmic igloo]

frostner is great and still great in last biome if u have enough club skill

otherwise, a similar weapon id recommend is mistwalker (sword)

no knockback on that tho

[mossy glacier]

Ok I thought there may be some OP builds (combination of armor+weapon+meads+food) like other games have...

[cosmic igloo]

there are

but i guess its not as well defined (at least on normal difficulty)

[tacit crystal]

Some players like light armor (like Fenris) for more speed and they rely more on their stamina and not getting hit, some players like using heavy armor and more HP to tank better. Then some people like the mage playstyle. All playstyles are viable in this game.

[cosmic igloo]

OP melee weapons: frostner, himminafl, mistwalker, lightning dual axes, demolisher (for specific situations), lightning slayer, bow + high bow skill
OP mage weapons: protection staff, staff of the wild, staff of embers, trollstav

[mossy glacier]

ok thanks.. I like Fenris set.. But I use Root Harnesk to avoid piercing damage(specially to handle Ticks & Deathsquito).

[cosmic igloo]

yea good picks

[tacit crystal]

Root Harnesk is very useful armor piece.

Root Harnesk, Fenris legs and Carapace helmet in Mistlands is good mix of movement speed and bit tankiness against pierce.

[cosmic igloo]

also i recommend even if ur gonna play melee, keep some eitr for protection bubble since its just free budget godmode

[mossy glacier]

thanks @cosmic igloo & @tacit crystal

[cosmic igloo]

np

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, to mention: if you keep meleeing, don't sleep on Himminafl! Its secondary attack is very good for handling groups of enemies even during the next biome.

[paper roost]

on normal difficulty any type of weapon you are good at using is good enough, especially with high skill lvl.

[cosmic igloo]

yea but u can still distinguish between those. like staff of the wild, staff of embers, himminafl u can kill stuff and not even put urself in danger

but ya u can beat the game with anything basically

so in that way the game is balanced

[reef pewter]

trying to spear the swamp blob to death sure does take forever though

[cosmic igloo]

yep

[tacit crystal]

Gotta take note on enemy resistances and weaknesses to deal with them more efficiently.

[cosmic igloo]

but we're also saying that all weapons in the same tier is kinda "same"ish

[tacit crystal]

Carrying different weapon types is generally a good idea.

Club, axe and bow are the "minimum" for those who want to minimize the amount of weapons and cover all physical damage types. But every people enjoy different things.

[gray sand]

Since when? 👀

[raven salmon]

Hi guys, newbie here. I'm trying to undermine a massive Copper Deposit, but i can't get any deeper under it. Any tips?

[gray sand]

There is a limit to how deep you can mine. You can't undermine every deposit.

[tacit crystal]

Since always? 🤔

[gray sand]

No?
Have been recommending against carrying multiple weapons for years and others have also done the same.

Gets brought up almost every "inventory sucks" discussion.

[tacit crystal]

Of course one can carry only one weapon, but then they can have hard time dealing with mobs that resist the damage type they deal with the weapon they chose.

[gray sand]

Clarifying: my issue lies with your use of the word "generally" in the initially quoted statement.

[reef pewter]

personally, i spear until i hit the swamp, then it's mace to frostner, but i think on my next playthrough i might switch to a sword

[tacit crystal]

Not native speaker so don't see issue with the word.

[gray sand]

It switches the meaning from how it can be a good idea to it being a good idea in most cases.

I agree it can be good to do in certain contexts.
I do not agree it is generally a good idea.

[tacit crystal]

Okay, that was in context of my following sentence where I stated the minimalistic way to cover all damage types. That's what I meant.

[paper roost]

you forgot about one thing- if you use only one, or at most 2 weapons, your skills are way higher, so at the end its no difference, if you switch the weapon, or not

[tacit crystal]

True, skills play some part of the damage. But even with higher skills if mob resist the damage you deal it can still be ineffective and slow. Take something like clubs or spears against Abomination for example.

[reef pewter]

Anyone play on the steam deck?
