[plush umbra]

braziers are more efficient than campfires and hearths.
a 5/5 coal brazier lasts for the same amount of time as a 20/20 wood hearth

[glossy ingot]

i'd ideally like to refuel these things rarely or never

[merry pebble]

That is quite lucky 😄 they have 33% chance of being there

[plush umbra]

afaik 75% chance for a troll inside, 33% for outside

i rarely find trollless caves myself

[merry pebble]

Wiki has 33 and 33 🤔 will try to check Kirilloids code

[plush umbra]

it was once 75 and 33 which seems a lot more likely to me

[runic spoke]

75% seems to make more sense

[merry pebble]

From my experience they are also there more often than not...

[runic spoke]

dunno what the math but 15-20 times in a row at 33% feels almost dream levels of luck

what is it 0.75^15?

[glossy ingot]

any tips on farming fenris hair?

[runic spoke]

not a math guy but it seems to be 1/100 which is rare but not impossible xd

[merry pebble]

I can only find the chance for the one at the enterence which is indeed 33%, cant find the chance for the inside one

Oh, might have found it, need to verify it but it seems its indeed 75%

[light moat]

Make sure you look behind banners, also in the altar rooms make sure you destroy the curtains for extra hair

[runic spoke]

omg the elder is on my started island + I just saw the shop guy icon : o

he's by the coast, this is easily my largest spawn island ever xD

I wish cooked food weighed 20% less than uncooked food XD

[gray sand]

How much food are you possibly trying to carry?

[merry pebble]

It may be quite a lot if they are cooking in bulk 🙂

[shy marlin]

Bonemaw meat is pretty heavy right

[merry pebble]

True that

[nocturne wolf]

How does everyone feel about damage variance in Valheim? Any reason why it's good that we don't deal consistent damage with every hit?

[shy marlin]

I don't like it but it's not that huge of a deal

[merry pebble]

I provides some variety, keeps you on your toes so to say, will you kill the enemy on this hit or will he be left with bit of health? I dont mind it, cant say i like it but i really dont care if its this or fixed value.

[light moat]

I actually think it’s pretty important; like Asatru said it does indeed add variety, and it adds another angle into decision making. Yeah, when it works against you, it’s a bummer. But sometimes it works in your favor. I know RNG is not everyone’s favorite feature… but, it does add a lot to games in general 👀

It’s a pretty minor thing though in Valheim, so I would say I’m neutral on it 🤔

[gray sand]

I have yet to find a single context in which "random base damage just for the sake of it" is adding something beneficial to a game aside from "random for the sake of it"

Don't fucking do 10-14... just make it 12 🙄

[mossy hazel]

I agree, make it a single number and a crit that does 1.5x or 2x the damage, doesnt need to be more complicated than that

[shy marlin]

I think the worst part of valheim rng is the Ashlands gem procs.

I feel like it would be more fun to play with them if I knew exactly when I’d root something, or if a lightning proc were to happen

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt complain if you would have to "charge" the special for some fixed number of hits before it automaticaly uses itself, but i dont think its bad as it is 🙂

[light moat]

That’s a good point- the gem procs are wildly unpredictable. Charging up the effect would be interesting!

[regal spoke]

Chance leads to priority of raw damage for me. I prefer consistency.

[regal spoke]

This would make combat more tactical.

[sour furnace]

Y'all think that I would have fun in a two handed weapons only challenge? I've always played almost exclusively parry then 123 and repeat until the enemy dies, and I wanna spice stuff up

[merry pebble]

I am now doing atgeir playthrough after also basically only parrying 😄 its great fun can recommend

[sour furnace]

Do you stick with the previous biome's atgeir(ex iron atgeir until plains) or do you switch off on biomes that don't have one?

[merry pebble]

Stayed with iron one, works great even in plains on everything apart from starred berserks

[cosmic summit]

anyone have tips for finding haldor?

[merry pebble]

Sail around islands with black forest

And try looking around elder, there is no rule he has to be there but somewhat often he is quite close

[light moat]

Did you finish your magic playthrough? 👀

[merry pebble]

No no 😄 this will be my magic playthrough, in mistlands i will combine atgeirs and magic and in ashlands himminafl will be my backup melee weapon

[light moat]

Ahhh gotcha! So you’re using atgeirs up until magic basically?

[merry pebble]

Yep! 😄 And since they (unfortunately) cut off just as magic starts to get really serious it will work quite well imo

[native plover]

is there a bug where the extractors stop extracting even when the root is full?

juicy root

[north edge]

Is the deep north gonna be the final content update or will there be more

[native plover]

i sure hope theres continued optimization and filling out things like the ocean biome. snap points for ashlands materials are still abysmal. but yeah, thats the final biome

[merry pebble]

Pretty much final, after that mainly optimization

[north edge]

Yeah final biome but maybe some mini bosses or anything

[vocal rivet]

Deep North will release with 1.0

[north edge]

Damn

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[gray sand]

Optimization and bug fixing is confirmed.
Anything else is "tbd"

[merry pebble]

If any content shall come to earlier biomes like ocean then i would expect it before or with the deep north update

[north edge]

Damn I hope more comes out or maybe mod support for console

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't bet on either of those things.

[gray sand]

1. Games do have to be "done" at some point. Rather than have infinite updates "just because."

2. Mods 🤢

[north edge]

Can dream 🙏

Mods are awesome you can't lie

[gray sand]

LMFAO

[vocal rivet]

Mods are not awesome, no.

[north edge]

How whats so wrong with them

[gray sand]

I guarantee you it is extremely unlikely you've met someone who hates them more than I do.
And I am not lying about that.

[north edge]

Dang why

Is it like the principal or a real reason

[vocal rivet]

It's like saying 'I like your game except for this, this, this, this....'

[north edge]

So the principal

[gray sand]

Unrelated:

You say this like principles aren't "real" reasons???

[north edge]

I did word it wrong

I meant principles or cause you truly think their bad and don't add anything of value

[vocal rivet]

Honestly, if you want a different game, play a different game. Otherwise enjoy the one you've got.

[north edge]

I feel like you can like the whole of something but not like other things

[gray sand]

You define "whole" differently than the dictionary if that is the case.

[north edge]

Like nothing can be per5

[merry pebble]

If you like whole of something(this game presumably) why would you alter it using mods?

[vocal rivet]

Indeed, nothing can be per5.

[gray sand]

Perfection?
You mean Smiffe?

[north edge]

Cause updates stop no new content

More challenge qol

New things added

[vocal rivet]

We have dozens of gameplay options, and loads of content (with more to come). What more could you possibly need?

[gray sand]

Games do have to be "done" at some point. Rather than have infinite updates "just because."

[vocal rivet]

And there are also thousands of mods ANYWAY

[gray sand]

You know what ruins most games?
Continually adding shit just for the sake of it.

[shy marlin]

lookin at minecraft + terraria

[north edge]

I know but that's why I'm saying mods cause they add the things you want

[north edge]

2 games that get better with mods

[shy marlin]

dunno about better

[vocal rivet]

What are two games that get better with mods? We're talking about Valheim. Which already HAS mods.

[gray sand]

"better with mods" 😂

[north edge]

I know it has mods but not console supported

[vocal rivet]

Then play a real computer?

[gray sand]

Consoles are computers too 😭

[north edge]

Cant I'm broke tf

[vocal rivet]

Also, PC mods exists without being supported.

[severe totem]

i would like my console friends to play modded with me would be fun

[gray sand]

Unsupported.
As all mods shoulds be 😏

[north edge]

Idk it allows the community to give things the community wants

[severe totem]

without stressing devs

[native plover]

idk what this convo is about?

[north edge]

Yeah how do you even make mods supported

[vocal rivet]

Except that half the questions in the Discord end up being people having mods that conflict with other things.

[north edge]

If mods are trash or not

[native plover]

oh i thought you were talking about discord moderators lmao

[severe totem]

you can run so many things without running into problems

[north edge]

Oh nah mb

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I know it's possible. But then we don't see those people.

[severe totem]

lol no not moderators

[native plover]

i mean, mods are good if thats how you want to play, its a game, its a really low stakes thing to enjoy with or w/o a mod

[severe totem]

true

[native plover]

but making mods "supported" would basically be like co-opting devs to do additional work for free to integrate something they may have never wanted nor planned for

[north edge]

Couldn't they do it like ark

[native plover]

and its kind of an obscene idea to get mad at devs for saying no to an expected imposition of unpaid work

[vocal rivet]

I don't think anything should be done like Ark.

[north edge]

Not getting mad hoping tho

Hey i like ark

[vocal rivet]

Explains a lot.

[north edge]

What's wrong with ark exactly

[vocal rivet]

So many great ideas with just awful execution.

[severe totem]

it has mods

[native plover]

i dont think itll happen - maybe something like skyrim (maybe im remembering that right?) where a texture/graphics pack ended up getting supported. i cant really see support for too many gameplay mods coming out, otherwise it would just be an update

[severe totem]

lmao

[north edge]

Yeah but they usually somehow polish there turds and mods help with that

[vocal rivet]

No, all you get by modding a bad game is just a slightly less bad game with higher overheads.

[north edge]

But it dose make it better like you said

[severe totem]

like that one person says bad is a perspective

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, if you ignore half of what I say we'll definitely agree.

[north edge]

Well my main point was that mods can make a game better

[severe totem]

extending gameplay if you love the game is never bad imo

[shy marlin]

if you have fun with mods play with mods if you don't then don't

[north edge]

And all I said was that I liked the game not that it was good so my whole point i feel is valid

[severe totem]

what that guy said

[merry pebble]

If the extension is at least on the level of the base game then maybe...

[north edge]

Wdym could you dumb it down for me

[merry pebble]

I am not sure that it could be written more simply...

[severe totem]

give him an example may help

[north edge]

I mean do you mean like primal nemesis for ark

Or rl craft for minecraft

[merry pebble]

I am currently not aware of any mods to any game that would be done to the same level of complexity and thoughtfulness as the base game itself

[north edge]

Ok so yeah like those

[severe totem]

Valheim plus is pretty dope

[merry pebble]

Oh hell no

[north edge]

But what about like just the qol mods

[merry pebble]

Go right ahead if you want them, i will not(cant) stop you

[severe totem]

Terraria calamity mod then

[north edge]

I see what you mean but I just don't agree

[vocal rivet]

Valheim Plus is a mess, even the original coder gave up and now it's just fan supported and has so many fingers in so many pies it's barely compatible with anything else.

[merry pebble]

Never played with it/not aware of it

[north edge]

But that's the fun part of discussions

[shy marlin]

Ah true, that is an actual mod that makes a game better

Good example.

[severe totem]

i recommend it its really good

[vocal rivet]

We HAVE a channel for discussing mods, it's #mods-discussion

[north edge]

I mean it started as a single question

So mb there very true

Let catch all of you later gotta go clean bye bye nice talking to all of you

[severe totem]

byeeee

[north edge]

Could I Friend you chromo

[severe totem]

yea

I just beat the game with my friends and we were wondering what could we do for replayability?

[tiny tiger]

Play the game in hardcore or immersive or hardcore immersive

[severe totem]

is that like you die gone for good?

[tiny tiger]

Hardcore is all your skills are reset to zero and all the items on you are destroyed upon death

Immersive is no maps and makes you have to interact with your world more

Also more raids more difficult enemies on hardcore

[severe totem]

oh is there one where i lose my character upon death like d4 hardcore?

[tiny tiger]

I’m guessing that’s like terraria hardcore or Minecraft hardcore but without mods no the character just gets reset back to how they was when you spawn in

[severe totem]

gotcha is that all tho just challenge run type things?

[tiny tiger]

You can do anything you come up with

You could keep the characters and do a new run where you speedrun the bosses on a fresh world

[severe totem]

gotcha

we may do that in the future but I think its dst time ty

[jolly imp]

Every time I take a creature something comes and kills them, I tamed a wolf six times and they all immediately died, and a wolf raid happened as soon as I tamed a lox, I managed to save the lox this time but jeez, is this an actual mechanic or am I so unlucky

[vocal rivet]

No raids happen on a chance basis (and only every 46 minutes), nothing to do with you taming anything.

[gray sand]

If you want them to live, I recommend turning raids off.

[jolly imp]

So I am just unlucky as hell lmao

[rain flare]

Try some of the excellent minecraft mods like better end and nether
Or even medieval minecraft 🤩
Very well done, but at that point it’s not really like playing minecraft anymore

[valid fossil]

Love Minecraft with mods. 😸

And playing a lot of it so I needed a break. Viking time 🎃

[mighty gate]

Can I ask a question

[valid fossil]

Sure 😸

[mighty gate]

Why aren't my lox not moving

It's been 30days and the refuse to move

[valid fossil]

Hmm. idk sorry I'm not more helpful than that but I don't know why they wouldn't move.

[mighty gate]

Even when I threw food they'll only eat it if it under them I tame theming it a bit not worth

[valid fossil]

Yeah I had that same problem with boars a while ago long while ago.

[rain flare]

Put a saddle on em

[rain flare]

You could try using a mod for making tamed mobs follow you if you don’t want to ride em

[mighty gate]

Can't Xbox

[rain flare]

Welp
Saddles it is then

[gray sand]

Harpoon.

[fair cairn]

harpoon is a tamers best freind

[pliant radish]

thank you sir I am now motivated to actually try and tame stuff, I forgot about that thing

[fair cairn]

i beleive you need freindly fire enabled inorder to harpoon tamed animals

@pliant radish

[pliant radish]

yeah

[vital umbra]

i can unfortunately no longer enjoy vanilla terraria

so bittersweet, i love calamity

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[vital umbra]

hi

[cosmic igloo]

play very hard combat setting and try speedrunning, like kill fader in fewest amount of days

[tacit crystal]

You could try deathless run: kill all bosses (and minibosses) without dying.

[pliant radish]

Or get realllyyyy into building

[vital umbra]

or fishing...

[tacit crystal]

Get all trophies, all fish (as high tier as possible), craft Fishing hat, tame all 2 star animal variants possible...

[regal spoke]

Nomad, no map, no bow..

[tiny tiger]

No map is honestly the most fun

You have to make your world feel lived in and leave markers such as roads, signs, campfires and learn to navigate without a map, get an idea of where you are in the world relative to the world around you.

No map no portals also makes you have to think outside the box, it makes more sense to have a bunch of settlements around your world rather than risking lugging everything to a main base with the potential to lose course during a storm etc

Bonfires are way more worth using for things such as lighthouses

[dim wave]

Does Valheim have performance mods? if so where can I find them?

[foggy glacier]

#mods-discussion is the place to ask

[dim wave]

I did

[merry pebble]

Then you just need to wait a bit 🙂

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/hugh-laurie-shrug-idk-gif-8385685

[sour furnace]

Did they patch the harpoon launch?

[near furnace]

what's the problem?

[upbeat oar]

Does no map with portals enabled make any sense?

[tiny tiger]

I mean yeah if you want to play without relying on boats as much

Last time I played no map with portals and it was fun

This time I’m trying no map no portals hardcore and it’s been a blast so far I’m pre elder

[dim wave]

Is there an explanation of graphical settings, like what each thing does?

[azure yacht]

Why wouldn't it?

[dim wave]

I messed with the graphic settings today and now not only i ruined my fps but the game looks weird

[tiny tiger]

Did you have it on default setting previously?

[upbeat oar]

This means anytime you loose a way, just make a portal and go back to your base?

[tiny tiger]

If you have taken the precautions to have a emergency portal back home sure, however metals you still need to carry by boat without the use of a map

[dim wave]

no

[tiny tiger]

Id hope the wiki provides a description for the graphics settings, have you had a look?

[dim wave]

I havent

Is wiki the official information source for Valheim?

or is it 3rd party?

[merry pebble]

Yes it is official

[tiny tiger]

Like dev supported official?

[merry pebble]

Yes

[dim wave]

Interesting

I come from Minecraft and fandom also has a Minecraft wiki but its not official, so mc literally made their own wiki, so I thought this was same deal

[merry pebble]

Nope, Fandom is the official wiki for Valheim 🙂

It even has a little tag that says so 😉

[dim wave]

Yeah but if its 3rd party i cant blatantly trust checkmarks

[near furnace]

IT'S OFFICIAL 😄

[sour furnace]

Oh, nothing, just wondering

[regal spoke]

I've spent many hours in no map no portal worlds. I honestly enjoy these runs the most. Making paths, cardinal nav markers, planning multiple steps ahead. Valheim under these conditions feels good to me. Id agree with multiple outposts or moving key assets forward biome to biome.

[regal spoke]

I bring the full smithy with me in every run. No map or otherwise. Especially useful in no map no portal runs. Far less backtracking and more forward progression.

[quiet python]

I'm getting back into the game. Is there a tactic to keep trolls from spawning or coming near an outpost/base? Maybe a way to slow or stop their spawn in an area?

[regal spoke]

Moats, earth walls, and player base structures

[merry pebble]

All of the above, but the best way to not worry about them (except for raids) is to not build so close to black forest 😄

[quiet python]

Copy that. Just trying to survive at an outpost and I've got tree luggin and stone throwin trolls on both sides of me.

[light moat]

For me, I just spawn proof a wide area and build stake walls around my entire base. You can stack stake walls to make them taller; I like to rotate them as I stack them on each other so you don’t see any flashing clipping textures.

[golden granite]

im playing on a dedicated server that im hosting. I just died twice trying to recvover my stuff from swamp. lost karve and longship. is there any way i can go back to a previous save?

[light moat]

Do you own the server?

[golden granite]

yes

[light moat]

You should be able to roll it back through the website you use. I don’t know a lot of the details, but if you want further help, there’s a lot of really helpful people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 🙂

[normal vine]

can dvergr mages spawn on their own near wisp lanterns or are they always in close proximity to an outpost?

[light moat]

They can spawn with the wisp lanterns

[normal vine]

not bad

[golden granite]

I just used the body recovery squad who sent like a pro dude with me to help recover

but now I wonder why I couldt figure out the data restoring thing. I just make copies of my entire save folders and send it to google drive

[still bloom]

hello im lookinf for a server

[gray sand]

[rancid nebula]

Sorry for the stupid question, but is there a button that lets me move all the items in my inventory to a chest? I know about the "Place Stacks" button, but that only moves like items.

[gray sand]

No, because we have the Place Stacks button.

[merry pebble]

You can take all out, but to put them in either use place stacks or hold Ctrl and click on stuff, thats plenty fast 🙂

[rancid nebula]

Yes I was looking for "hold Ctrl" Thank you! I knew there was something but I couldn't remember

[pliant radish]

I so desperately wish there was more to do with serpent scales

[gray sand]

Scales wishes there was more you could do with him too.

[shy marlin]

👀

[gray sand]

"Skill expression" 😛

[shy marlin]

Maybe the scales could be used in a boat for the deep north cold waters 😏

[merry pebble]

Serpents are weak to frost tho, not sure if their scales would be the best choice for cold environment 🤔

[thick hull]

i just finished my first circular building :3

[gray sand]

Used in a boat that people could outright ignore because Longship is king? 😏

[split shale]

next step: circular staircase

Cpu gonna hate you

[thick hull]

nah

[merry pebble]

You should progress a bit 😉

[gray sand]

This is a literal thing in the game.

Each piece is a quarter turn.

[split shale]

huh?

[merry pebble]

Later in game you will unlock dedicated spiral staircase 🙂

[split shale]

something so simple and yet so useful but you need to unlock black forge for it?

[gray sand]

Talking about black marble? Yes.

The greatest building material requires the greatest forge.

[split shale]

wooden spiral case without placing dozens of 1x1 of wood floors should have been more accessible

[gray sand]

No.

[merry pebble]

No, about Yggdrasil wood, but same thing applies 🙂

[gray sand]

Yggy woooood!

I would rather hunt hares than try to farm yggy wood 😭

[merry pebble]

Make a suggestion 🙂 #suggestions are always open

[gray sand]

It's always up high, and then you cut it and it falls all the way down.

[thorny ledge]

Can i build a castle on a mountain witouth getting the freeze debuff when inside?

[split shale]

so more jerks like you show up? nah

[gray sand]

Depends on your fire placement inside.
But every armor from Wolf onwards gives you frost resist.

[merry pebble]

Excuse me?

[gray sand]

Oh fun... we have a clowner...

[thorny ledge]

Thanks

[merry pebble]

Meh, was a while since the last one, i would be glad that it took a while for another to appear 🙂

[merry pebble]

Padded does not, Carapace does not, Eitr-weave does not, Flametal does not, Ask does not, Embla does not. The frost resistance is coming from mistlands and ashlands tier capes

[gray sand]

Capes. Bah.

Who doesn't wear capes?

-# Oh right... me. 😂

[shy marlin]

Wutttt

[light moat]

Yeaaah you big JERK! ||kidding lol but I have no idea why they got so upset with you||

[vocal rivet]

Wow, they didn't last long, did they?

[merry pebble]

Meh, beats me, if they react like this I dont want them as a friend anyway 😤

[light moat]

The funny part is, Asatru doesn’t really frequent the suggestions channel lol

[merry pebble]

I was there like 4 times total xD

and made like 1 or 2 suggestions 😄

[vocal rivet]

But were they jerky suggestions?

[merry pebble]

I dont believe so 🤔 tho what do i know 😄 i am apparently a jerk

-# my guess was actually correct, i made exactly 2 suggestions xD

[pliant radish]

I do love jerky

[cosmic igloo]

because all the smileys and message like this #valheim-chat message comes across as passive aggressive

prolly

[merry pebble]

Well, i am sorry they feel that way 😄

[gray sand]

Was this at me not wearing capes?

[shy marlin]

yes u madlad

[gray sand]

Have you seen how good Carapace looks with no cape?

[shy marlin]

don't think i've ever made carapace armor no

[gray sand]

One sec

[shy marlin]

I dig the vibe

[gray sand]

Short-sleeve armor 🥵

[shy marlin]

do u not miss the unique effects from the capes tho

[gray sand]

The broken af Feather Cape that thank Odin they finally nerfed? No.
The flaky, wind-dependent Ask Cape? No.
The covers-80%-of-face-because-who-needs-to-breathe Ash Cape? Not really.

Effects of Ash Cape? Awesome, lovely.
Looks of Ash Cape? Man... sure wish I could bring myself to use it because the effects are good...

[shy marlin]

still think feather cape needs more nerfs

[gray sand]

Just make it cost actual feathers to repair. Problem solved 😏

[light moat]

If you don’t add emojis, people feel offended. If you do, people still get offended. There’s no winning 🥲

[shy marlin]

Feathers are solved because of chickens

[gray sand]

Make it cost EITR to repair. 😈

[shy marlin]

Oof

[gray sand]

"EITR is solved by magical chickens."

They plop out refined eitr instead of eggs 😄

[shy marlin]

true magical chickens when irongate

[gray sand]

Someone probably has a mod for this.

[shy marlin]

you probably haven't seen it but a high quality mod is a mod called tuba walk

when you are encumbered tuba noises play.

[gray sand]

"high quality mod" is an oxymoron.

[dim wave]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-hagrid-gif-19106713

Just killed yagluth, how soon can i become a wizard

[sour furnace]

That's at 2/3 of the way through the next biome. If you have a portal set up and know what you're doing you can get wizarding after 4-5 hours. For me, that's approximately 7 trips from base to mistlands before I got all the materials to make my first magic thing

[dim wave]

Alrighty

I'll try to get it tmrw

Hopefully i won't get turned back in mistlands

[sour furnace]

It's like the point that you would get he porcupine in the plains

[dim wave]

Porcupine?

[sour furnace]

Ya, basically right before the boss, maybe before you have to do a bit of end-of-biome grinding

[dim wave]

What boss? I want to be a wizard, not slay bosses

[sour furnace]

Like progression-wise. You won't be able to skip right to the magic, it's at the end of the biome

[dim wave]

Why not

Making an order of execution rn

Will have to figure out how to locate dwergr structures

[remote leaf]

Just sail around and look for them, you'll see a bunch along coastlines

[wintry dagger]

What is the best weapon to use in the new biome?

[dim wave]

Do giant bridges count?

[remote leaf]

I assume you're looking for mines?

[dim wave]

I need to find an infested mine, for black cores, then locate dwergr structures for sap extractor and mine some black marble from giant remains

[light moat]

What weapon types have you been using? For me, I used Mistwalker- it was pretty reliable

[remote leaf]

Yeah. You will see dvergr structures all along the coast honestly. You can get the sap extractor and marble from those

[dim wave]

How common is sap extractor is it in every single structure orrr not?

[remote leaf]

Just keep an eye out for that distinctive look of the mines and you can locate them

I think so, they are in the small dock buildings as well as the larger forts

[dim wave]

I have accidentally found one small port with square crates guarded by a peacful dwergr but ppl said he would oneshot me if i touched them so i didn't

[remote leaf]

You have to break the crate inside the small building to get the sap extractor. The dwarves will attack you though. Unless you cheese it

[cosmic igloo]

melee: mistwalker
mage: staff of embers

[wintry dagger]

thanks

[acoustic temple]

in ashlands, if you open a castle, is there a possibilty of there NOT being a jade stone in a green tower?

when it is lit up with a green beam of light?

[nocturne wolf]

I think the light is emitted by the bell container. It does not indicate which gemstones are available.

[merry pebble]

Yep, the light is always green 🙂

[acoustic temple]

noooooooooooooooo

we worked hard for that one 😢

[nocturne wolf]

You must've got some other material you wanted though

• it was fun, right?

[acoustic temple]

it was DEATH

stupid 1* Morgen + a SECONDARY Morgen + the usual suspects

[acoustic temple]

It was fun, regardless.

[nocturne wolf]

Morgen swipes only reach 2.4m above ground, jumping is very effective against them

They can't turn during their attack so by moving to the side you avoid a possible second swipe

[acoustic temple]

hard to jump when running for your life

[nocturne wolf]

Try jumping for your life then

[acoustic temple]

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?!

n00b

[shy marlin]

using d or a to just walk outta their swipes

[acoustic temple]

Trollstav helps

[nocturne wolf]

I've also tried this, it's amazing how small the hitbox is for an enemy of that size

[shy marlin]

yep

[nocturne wolf]

Also if you time it right and there's nothing to get stuck against, you can jump into a morgen when it bites to launch yourself without getting hit

[sinful fulcrum]

Just do what I do

Top melee gear, mistwalker ready, fire potion, bone mass ready, play free bird, use bone mass buff then you will have the most efficient 5 minutes of your life

That’s how I clean Ashland fortresses

[gray sand]

Just do what I do.

Press K.

[nocturne wolf]

No lightfoot?

[gray sand]

Lightfoot overrated 😴

[sinful fulcrum]

Sorry that was my setup pre bog witch lol

[gray sand]

Pre-witch: Press K.
Post-witch: Press K.
😏

[silver saffron]

how to spawn wood?

[gray sand]

spawn wood <amount>

[nocturne wolf]

Enable the developer console
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console
Press f5, use the command devcommands then use spawn

[merry pebble]

Press F5, type devcommands then type spawn wood 100 (or any other ammount)

[silver saffron]

damn

[gray sand]

Or just be a "bro" and chop trees down like a real "bro" would "broing" do "bro".

[silver saffron]

thanks guys

what about corewood

[merry pebble]

the same exept different ID, you can look at wiki for IDs 🙂

[gray sand]

Tell your normal wood to do crunches and planks.

[silver saffron]

well I write in core wood

but it doesnt give me

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Core_wood its RoundLog for core wood 🙂

[silver saffron]

ah

[gray sand]

you can look at wiki for IDs

[silver saffron]

lol my bad

[long mauve]

I have like 22 finewood, a lot of core wood and deer hide, why cannot I craft the finewood bow?

[tacit crystal]

Workbench upgrades?

[nocturne wolf]

Finewood bow is made at a level 1 workbench

[merry pebble]

It requires lvl1

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, that should be all they need.

[merry pebble]

Try to drop all things and pick them up again?

[tacit crystal]

Ah true, thanks for noticing and correcting my failing memory. 😅

[merry pebble]

I quickly checked on wiki xD no worries

[long mauve]

u need to upgrade the workbench?

[merry pebble]

No no

[vocal rivet]

Not for the bow, but other items, yes.

[long mauve]

sure I try

[tacit crystal]

For other things but not for the bow

[long mauve]

doesnt seem to work unfortunately

[merry pebble]

Weird, are you sure you didnt just miss it in the menu?

[long mauve]

weird I even got trollskin and I dont got new recipes

I sent u a dm

[merry pebble]

Maybe try to relog or restart the whole game

[long mauve]

I just did that and no change 😕

[merry pebble]

You dont have core wood 😄 you have normal wood and fine wood

[long mauve]

ohhh

[merry pebble]

There we have the problem xD

[long mauve]

thought normal wood was core wood

[nocturne wolf]

You get core wood from pine trees

[merry pebble]

😄 you need to go to black forest and find pine

[vocal rivet]

Wood is normal wood.

[long mauve]

hmm alrightty

[wary shore]

Are fire arrows the best arrows for Moder?

[merry pebble]

No, even with her weakness to fire obsidian arrows are better

However i usually take all lower tier arrows i have and spend them first

[wary shore]

okay, thanks

that would actually explain a lot, I made like 300 firearrows for my first fight with moder and i had to repair my bow like 20 times (because she'd always land in inaccessible places too)

[remote gull]

I know this might be random but, why did the fish I mounted on my wall just talk

It said it wants back in the river but ngl I'm nervous

[near furnace]

😉

https://tenor.com/view/funny-fish-talking-gif-16269671302634281143

[tacit crystal]

They keep you company.

[pliant hatch]

It's one of the "secrets" of this game that really give it its ambiance.

There's more things that do that, although for some you will have to do the boss fights twice.
But personally I think it's worth it.

[lunar sapphire]

Where I catch a trollfish

[near furnace]

in trollland

[rotund bay]

the fishies know the amount of times you died from a deathsquito

[lunar sapphire]

-# The river with incredibly steep and slippery banks preventing the valheim player from jumping out. Oof sounds playing every few seconds as the character begins drowning from no stamina.

[near furnace]

when you do this to the text. I don't get pinged 🤔

[lunar sapphire]

pretty sure that's cos I actively disabled the reply ping

[vocal rivet]

That seems like a vulnerability.

[remote gull]

Okay this calms me down. I just sat down in my humble abode after getting jumped by trolls and then I hear that thing talk lol

[lunar sapphire]

-# testing

[near furnace]

oh?

[vocal rivet]

Hm, maybe not.

[naive python]

any good modpacks for valheim?

free ones

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-discussion will get better answers

[near furnace]

all modpacks are free

or else they break the EULA

[naive python]

yeye

[near furnace]

but yea --> #mods-discussion knows

[naive python]

lemme send u the link

[vocal rivet]

"good" is a bit of a stretch for mods.

[gray sand]

No.

[near furnace]

if you find anyone breaking that rule. email to [e-mail]

[willow aspen]

sure sure there is totaly no payd mods sure buddy

[vocal rivet]

No, because 'payd' isn't a word.

[gray sand]

If someone is charging for mods of Valheim, report the fuck out of them to the address Smiffe just linked because it isn't allowed.

[near furnace]

payd = paid

[vocal rivet]

I know that.

[gray sand]

payed = ?

[naive python]

https://marlthon.com/donate-page this site asks to pay 10 dollars each to gain access to key something like that

srr for the link but ye

[gray sand]

Send link to the email Smiffe posted.

[near furnace]

np

Marlthon have the thing "pay 10 dollars, or wait in line

[willow aspen]

and those mods are included in multiple of modpacks i saw

[naive python]

but it says u need to be donor

for multiplayer

[light moat]

That raccoon in the LandAnimals mod looks like something out of a nightmare 😂

[vocal rivet]

Either way, it definitely breaches the terms and needs taking down.

[willow aspen]

and thats how they go around the system that you cannot play online

[naive python]

This MOD is free to play alone or offline, to play with friends or on a dedicated server you need to register and be a donor.
You are free to download and test this mod or play it offline.

[merry pebble]

Heh, i cant even load the site, seems my PC knows what best for me xD

[lunar sapphire]

Send money to smiffe. Got it

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-no-gif-8971642892483725157

[naive python]

its kinda unfair u need to pay 80 dollars for 8 mods

[vocal rivet]

Of course it is. But you don't NEED those mods so it's all good.

[lunar sapphire]

It’s kinda unfair they make you pay

[near furnace]

the modders got ways to lock out other modders from their modpacks

[naive python]

half of the modpacks got the mod

[merry pebble]

Simple solution, dont use mods 😄

[tacit crystal]

160 dollars if you want to use them for the whole year (6 months per donation). 🧐

[pliant hatch]

80 bucks for mods and then waiting until "the devs broke the mods"?

No thx.

[willow aspen]

that seems like a subscribtion

[azure yacht]

Simpler solution: Don't use those mods

[lunar sapphire]

Playing mods for free when they might break? No thx

[pliant hatch]

I got more bang for my bucks with my new monitor.

[willow aspen]

yeah when most of the mods use the payd mods

[gray sand]

Best solution.

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[willow aspen]

and there is a lot of content of content on those payd mods

[azure yacht]

There are hundreds or thousands of mods, how could less than 10 paid ones affect you at all?

[vocal rivet]

Most of the mods use the mods? What are you on about?

[lunar sapphire]

Mods are not that good during early access titles
-# (edited)

[azure yacht]

There must be 100 others that do essentially the same thing

[willow aspen]

they use the payd mod to play online they add 8+ bosses and more stuf

[gray sand]

Mods are not that good during early access titles

FTFY 💛

[vocal rivet]

That doesn't remotely answer my question.

[azure yacht]

#valheim-chat message

[lunar sapphire]

Wait why are we discussing mods in the valheim chat channel and not the #mods-discussion channel

[willow aspen]

im saying that a lot of modpacks use payd mods to play online

[vocal rivet]

No, no they don't.

[lunar sapphire]

Sneaky greydwarves the lot of you

[shy marlin]

i blame smiffe

[gray sand]

Blame Smiffe.

[willow aspen]

yes i can proof it

[azure yacht]

Then don't use modpacks in the first place...

[vocal rivet]

Go on then. Actually report them like you were told to.

[lunar sapphire]

@near furnace I’ve scheduled you in for a meeting on Monday at 1:15pm.

We’ll be discussing behavioural matters

[merry pebble]

Only few of us that are currently present have that role 😉

[lunar sapphire]

Mass pings all of them on accident again

[shy marlin]

Cause yall had the guts to stay in the discord when it got hacked lol

[vocal rivet]

It wasn't dangerous unless you clicked the link.

[lunar sapphire]

I ain’t playing with my join discord date

[gray sand]

My account got hackered so I lost it as I had to remake new account 😦

[merry pebble]

Well i believe that as far as i dont click on stuff nothing happens to me 😄

[lunar sapphire]

Wasn’t dangerous if you were sleeping 😂

[vocal rivet]

I was not, not for all of it, no.

Wait, you mean you.

[lunar sapphire]

Yeah soz

Everything went down in the early hours of the morning Feb 2nd 2024

[vocal rivet]

It was a rough couple of days (my post count will never recover) but we got through it.

[lunar sapphire]

By 5-6 am it was pretty much resolved - or somewhat

[lunar sapphire]

You’ve reached your posting quota for the year. Take a holiday

[vocal rivet]

It's only the 11th January!

[lunar sapphire]

🤷 message came from corporate
Not Irongate

[vocal rivet]

I'm not the one who hit 1000 posts in less than 2 weeks.

[lunar sapphire]

Whomst Is that?

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure I should say as I guess it counts as bullying.

[lunar sapphire]

Fair fair

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps you should start asking 22 questions in 24 hours in the Help channel too, to get that? 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Anyone with a lot of messages in the public test channel would've been less affected

[merry pebble]

Didnt the hack happen in late january?

[lunar sapphire]

Anywho. I’ll send you to Japan for your holiday so you can go and get pokemon games for me 👍

Deal?

[vocal rivet]

February 2nd is very late January.

[shy marlin]

Jan 29

[gray sand]

Feb 30

[merry pebble]

Hmm, so late some may call it early February 😄

[vocal rivet]

Well, Subject might, being quite a few hours ahead.

[merry pebble]

True, but it wouldnt be more than 24 hours, and first message in general is from 31st January

[lunar sapphire]

11th Jan 10:21 am currently

[merry pebble]

9 hours ahead of me then 🙂

[lunar sapphire]

Your future involves talking about paid mods in the valheim chat channel

[vocal rivet]

Hm, 10 for me.

[pliant hatch]

Well, this is new to me: A sunken crypt where the chambers are connected in such a way, you end up at the entrance again.

I knew those existed for the Burial Chambers, but never saw them in a sunken crypt before.

[topaz scarab]

Hello I am looking for people to play valheim with.

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 has you covered.

[sour furnace]

what do yall think the best gemstone for the nidhogg is? i'm using the ask set rn

[gray sand]

Lightning.

If Spears stacked like Arrows so we could carry a bunch for throwing 😭

[wary shore]

because valheim is purgatory, fish do not die merely by being taken out of the sea. By mounting it on the wall you've put it into a purgatory of its own

[remote gull]

With these hands I've wrought so much torment..

[mossy glacier]

Hello Guys, How do I pickup flametal ores when riding Asksvin?

[regal spoke]

100lbs of spear

[gray sand]

Weight management would be a thing, yes.

But having them stacked so you could throw them back-to-back would also be nice.

[shy marlin]

Atgeir stagger into spear throw is a real nice combo

[regal spoke]

Damage would be less though right?

[gray sand]

No?

Spear throw is spear throw.

[gray sand]

Spear throw stagger into pick-up-and-stab though

[regal spoke]

But a stack of 100 spears at current seems pretty op

[shy marlin]

if you can craft 100 spears u should win

[gray sand]

How much does spear weigh?

[regal spoke]

Idk couple pounds right

[gray sand]

Yeah, should probs weigh 4kg to balance if stackable.

[regal spoke]

Scales I've thought about that atgeir combo. Bet that's fun

[shy marlin]

it's cool

atgeir stagger into x weapon is always fun

my fav is atgeir special into 2h sword special

insane single target damage

[regal spoke]

So just weight as an offset for the convenience of being a walking turret

The cleave is real huh

[gray sand]

Weight as the offset means if you want to be a turret you can't carry anything else.

[regal spoke]

Hah alright. I like broken things. Why not. How many spears to kill Queen or Fader you think

[shy marlin]

Queen = 12500 hp Fader = 25000

also have to account for their insane passive hp regen

[regal spoke]

Gonna need a shoulder replacement after

[remote gull]

so i just got iron and thinking of what weapons to get first. in a tossup. how well does the battleaxe work?

[shy marlin]

battleaxes are like a solid b tier but if you like the fantasy of em they certainly work

If this is your first playthrough I'd highly recommend the iron mace

[noble axle]

It's a good weapon a bit slow though so your gonna need to either parry stun your enemies or just don't get hit when your swinging

[light moat]

Battleaxe pairs really well with the mead of ratatoskr, if you’ve acquired them

[balmy willow]

slow and heavy, but very quick alternate attack that's great for staggering quick enemies

[noble axle]

If you haven't beaten Bonemass, Iron Mace is good versus him, however if you can venture out to the mountains with a Stagbreaker you can find Silver by climbing up the mountains, hitting the ground with Stagbreaker until you see 'Too Hard' then mine it with your Iron Pickaxe in order to make yourself a Frostner which is very good against Bonemass (and a very good weapon that you can honestly use throughout the rest of the game, except on a few enemies which it's not that good against), but it's not that easy to obtain since you need to get Silver, Freeze glands (kill Drakes for them), Ymir Flesh (purchase from Haldor), and Ancient Bark. Or just make an Iron mace instead 🤷. If you can make Poison resistance meads or the Root Mask and get a Frostner the Swamp will be very easy to progress through imo.

@shy marlin I saw your videos the other day and wow you are insane at the game 🙂

[glass scarab]

I wonder if it's something they've changed? Because I've never had internal loops in crypts before either, and now 2 crypts in my latest game have loops

[pliant radish]

I like how the serpent feast is easier to make than the other ones before it

[gray sand]

Scales has videos? 👀

[shy marlin]

don't watch they're shit

[gray sand]

Noted 👍

[nimble moss]

Does anyone here maintain the wiki? To fix an issue with the info on one of the pages?

[gray sand]

@vocal rivet

[nimble moss]

The Yule tree page says it’s available all Dec and Jan. it’s wrong, it ends on 6 (or 7th?) of Jan.

[remote gull]

reading up on y'all's responses, much appreciated. Last weapon I used was the Bronze Atgeir and it's served me well, but wanted to check out my other options. The Bronze Mace has also done me well so I might aswell use the Iron one

[shy marlin]

Honestly the only thing to avoid in the iron age is the iron axe

[gray sand]

You shut your scaly mouth you!

[gray sand]

Iron Mace is the best iron weapon vs. the Swamp Boss.

Iron Axe my second beloved.

[shy marlin]

yes boss

🤐

[remote gull]

taking these back to my den for consideration

[gray sand]

It's in the Valheim Commandments.

1. Thou shalt have no other CM's before Smiffe.
2. Thou shalt not blame thine gear when thy food is the problem.
3. Thou shalt not besmirch the good names of Iron Axe and Bronze Pick.

[shy marlin]

huge supporter of bronze pick actually

largely because bronze pick usually has enough durability to get through an entire swamp crypt without breaking while the antler pick does break

[gray sand]

At a minimum, it has enough durability to last your entire Rested Buff.

Which is really what you need, because you should be going back when that runs out.

[shy marlin]

tru dat

[snow flicker]

i feel like the sealed tower miniboss needs buffed lol

[nimble moss]

or just make a fire and have permanent buff inside 🙂

[gray sand]

You can't build inside of crypts.

[shy marlin]

you can build campfires

[nimble moss]

build bonfire outside. Go inside. Keep fire buff. Bug or intended - dont know.

[gray sand]

That's a bug that needs to be fixed.

[shy marlin]

Put next to the list of bugs that need to be fixed 😔

[nimble moss]

I see it as the Lore that we are heating the chamber

[gray sand]

I don't use bugs/exploits 🤷‍♂️

[nimble moss]

Then just build campfire inside - same thing... no need to leave for rested - keep going

main reason to leave is Iron and weight...

especially if no strength belt... its painful then - lol

[gray sand]

You shouldn't be able to build inside at all.

And iron is never a reason that I leave 😄

All iron stays in-crypt until I have mined all crypts in a given swamp.

[nimble moss]

campfires have always been allowed inside crypts.... since the day valheim came out. Not much else can be built inside.

[gray sand]

Can you build them in Infested Mines?

[shy marlin]

yes

[gray sand]

Bonkers.

[shy marlin]

gonna add that to your valheim commandments?

[gray sand]

Nope.

I just have a well-oiled system for swamp mining, so 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

I am guilty of getting lost easily in dungeons 😔

[sour furnace]

I was gonna react with a sunken crypt, but the reaction doesn't exist. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[remote gull]

update: iron mace and armor runs fades. i like this

[vocal rivet]

Hm?

[gray sand]

Read above and below it. Wiki stuff.

[vocal rivet]

Ooh. Hard to see when it's blocked. Sorted.

[nimble moss]

lol - you blocked me because I showed you a specific fact in Valheim the other day? fun times...

[light snow]

classic derek

[gray sand]

I have only 1 person blocked.
And that's because they actively support and advocate in favor of pirating games.

[near furnace]

What do you mean?

[thorn rampart]

Jajajaja nothing, a joke

[rotund bay]

leave my campfire and log benches alone 😔
those are the only things that keep me having rested buffs while taking on frost caves, well any dungeon actually

[rotund bay]

campfires, cooking stations, log benches and wisp torches are the ones you can build inside

oh and resource piles too iirc

[gray sand]

Ew.

[buoyant panther]

Any of you play Valheim on Steam Deck? If so, how's the control?

[tacit crystal]

And signs.

[nocturne wolf]

Aside from a bug that cancels all movement inputs while secondary attack is held on a controller, it's all good

[raven salmon]

Does the Wolf Fur Cape give full Frost Resist, just like the Resistance Mead?

[serene talon]

yes

[merry pebble]

Yep, 50% dmg reduction

[raven salmon]

Sorry, i meant the Freezing Effect. Not sure if that's the same as Frost

[azure yacht]

Still yes

[raven salmon]

Thanks!

[half widget]

any1 wanna play?

I am on VC

[pliant hatch]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.

[half widget]

Thank u

[rotund bay]

in terms of style, I kinda like lox cape i instead of wolf cape
and I still do even when feather cape is there

[smoky knot]

hmm

Any ideas why spears arent showing as an option to craft at the workbench on my new save?

[merry pebble]

Do you have materials for it?

[smoky knot]

nvm im dumb

[tiny tiger]

Were you missing leather

[smoky knot]

the leather scraps hadnt found any yet

thought it wasnt showing the items from mod conflicts possibly

[noble axle]

yea I love how the lox cape looks

[smoky knot]

troll hide drip is superior drip

[tiny tiger]

Wolf cape goes hard with fenris

[tacit crystal]

Same. It makes shoulders look wider.

[tardy hornet]

Anyone else lagging a lot in ashland?

[frail plume]

started a no map run, anyone got tips for finding later bosses

anyone know if the cartography table works as a map

[cosmic igloo]

ya its known for having lots of stuttering

[tardy hornet]

Its really harsh region and i like that a lot but dying because of stuttering is big annoying

[cosmic igloo]

ya im not sure what causes it exactly, maybe the game has a lot of loaded stuff after you've played for a while so you gotta restart

[merry pebble]

I believe its just many things in one area yeah, but i believe devs are going to keep optimizing and it will get better with time 🙂

[empty bison]

I am thinking about starting game again, last time I ended at plains, but not sure how I can handle iron grind again haha

[tardy hornet]

failed that they released it like this

[cosmic igloo]

you can up resource gain rate, helps a lot

i dont think u lose much gameplay experience if u do 1 crypt instead of 2

[empty bison]

I think co op play would help with that, have buddy who plays whole day, but unfornatelly he is addicted to world of warcraft and refuse to play anything else haha. I even offered to buy him Valheim

[dim wave]

i hate mistalnds, how do i kill a seeker

[paper roost]

try to use the yggrassil tree as navigation, probably most dificult to find is the queen

[dim wave]

i had 180healtyh and fenris armour and the dude oneshot me

I killed 1 gjall with bow

also whats dwergr roughue

[near furnace]

have you killed yagluth?

fenris amor is a weak armor from mountains

[paper roost]

i wouldnt call it weak, you just cant get hit by almost anything in mist 🙂

[dim wave]

yes

[near furnace]

it's quick but not armored

[paper roost]

speed is also a way of protection

[dim wave]

I had two seekers, one lvl 2 at once run after me

[near furnace]

level 2's would rip anything apart

[cosmic igloo]

yea its tough when some1 is already addicted to a game, kinda gotta let them burn out on it first

[near furnace]

specially the poke attack

[dim wave]

but they cought me in water

So what do yall reccomend?

[cosmic igloo]

atgeir works very good against seeker. just keep spinning on it

[dim wave]

yeah i tried i got onetapped

[near furnace]

atleast the armor from plains

[cosmic igloo]

and because theres lots of water pools in mistlands, frostner works good too with the frost dmg

[dim wave]

which exactrly, the padded armour?

[near furnace]

yes

there is only one armor in plains

[dim wave]

also is there no better way to see through the mist other than the wisplight?

[near furnace]

not really

you can place down wisp torches

or the flying little helper

but a thing not so many know about

if you can't see enemies, they can't see you either

[rocky leaf]

Hi! I'm new here

[dim wave]

do mistlands have an armour?

[near furnace]

yes

[rocky leaf]

There is a mage armour I think

[near furnace]

Carapace

and mage armor

[paper roost]

not all the area in the mistland is misty, more helpful than wisp notlight is scroll as close to you as you can, that way you see at least something around you

[rocky leaf]

Does Moder have more HP than Bonemass?

[dim wave]

I ran away from the lvl 2 seeker killed lvl 1

[dim wave]

probably but u can check wiki

[near furnace]

yes. all bosses in order have more health than the previous one have.

[dim wave]

Bonemass has 5k. hp and moder has 7.5k. hp

[rigid parcel]

You shouldn't get stunned on a perfect parry. Fight me.

[dim wave]

I accidentally swam to ashlands

My karve started making bad noises

[rocky leaf]

Not even longboat? :')

[dim wave]

I was runniny from a seeker that swam far from mistlands

[inland star]

Hi guys anyone on xbox looking for a dedicated vanilla server long term with super slow progression
I'm looking for a group
Bored playing alone

[cold viper]

is it cross play?

[azure yacht]

Like you could have for the mistlands armor question

[nimble moss]

Mistland creatures can see through the mist though, so this isn’t entirely accurate. God knows they love to pounce at us out of the mist…

[regal spoke]

Jump scares abound

[azure yacht]

It is

And no, they can't

[nimble moss]

In what way? I’ve been flown at by seekers out of the mist?

Isn’t it a LoS check with collision? How is mist factored in?

[azure yacht]

Noise

[dim wave]

i just got jumped by 4 seekers so this is 100% wrong

[nimble moss]

So if I’m standing perfectly still, they won’t see me?

How much sight is needed, one pixel?

I’ll do some experimenting with it then; it’s not how I understood the mechanic to actually work. But maybe it’s different to what I thought. /shrug

[sour furnace]

Is there a boss that you can't cheese in this game?

[near furnace]

no they can't

they can hear you, but they cannot see you

[thick hull]

so if im running they can hear me?

[near furnace]

yes

the less noice you make, the better

sneaking is a thing for a reason 😄

[thick hull]

so its running,walking,sneaking?

[shy marlin]

you can cheese all bosses in the game

[near furnace]

try it out. 😄

[merry pebble]

Sprinting, running, walking, sneaking 🙂

[nimble moss]

What counts as “sight” though? Mist is a linear gradual of sight. I.e. I can make out figures sometimes, and other times is totally blocked.

So if they can see even a pixel, is that “sight”?

[near furnace]

they need more than pixels

and almost all creatures see with there actual eyes

[nimble moss]

Los is usually a camera line trace from A to B (using eyes). So that is a single line?

[near furnace]

cones

[nimble moss]

So how does mist factor that though? If I am in the cone, and they see one pixel, they “see” me right?

Or is it some percentage of cone coverage?

I’ll have to go dig and see what I can find… I’m kinda interested now..

[near furnace]

please dig

but for example. sneaking is the best way

a monster will check if they can see you as a player on set distance interwalls aswell

so the further away you actually are from then, the fewer times they will activly search for you (saves alot of performance)

[thick hull]

is that why sometimes they just walk over to my location but dont actually see me fully?

[near furnace]

this is why you sometimes you can super-sprint into a deer if you're fast enough and punch them in the face without them noticing you

[nimble moss]

That’s probably noise, which attracts mobs to the source of noise.

[near furnace]

if monsters get the yellow (?) above their head, they will go investigate the sound

boars will activly try to get away from the sound source tho

but most hostile mobs will search for you

[thick hull]

thanks. hopefully i can avoid the mistlands mystical creatures now

[near furnace]

sneaking is really good to avoid fighting

[sour furnace]

it's really funny to me, because somtimes i'm running around in the meadows and i literally trip over deer and they still dont see me (like i physically touch them) and somtimes a skeleton archer hits a 360 noscope from the nearest mountain

[smoky knot]

is there a key that disables auto pickup of items?

[dim wave]

V

[smoky knot]

oh duh i knew that

[radiant pulsar]

Is it possible to disable a Lava Blob from exploding? I've disabled their explosion with the last ranged shot/melee strike but I fail more than I succeed (its approx 20:80 ratio lol). Is there a knack to it or is it a %age chance to disable the explosion?

[gray sand]

I suppose if you kill them they don't explode.
But you just let them land next to you and when you see them start their long animation you simply roll away.

And they kill themselves.

[shy marlin]

I always try to kill them before they explode, because usually the explosion brings some unwanted noise.

[gray sand]

Be honest.
||You try to kill them first because "skill expression"|| 😏

[shy marlin]

lmao

[gray sand]

Tell me I'm wrong, go on. 🙃😁

[shy marlin]

insert the walter white "ha, you got me" gif

[shy marlin]

Odd question, can beehives produce honey in the mountians?

[gray sand]

Winter will know.

[shy marlin]

i'll probably just find out myself in a few minutes

[foggy glacier]

I never knew you could kill them before they explode.

[radiant pulsar]

This is it though - even killing from range, they still explode leaving a crater

[shy marlin]

All blobs have "faces", you can just rotate around their "face" and gg

[radiant pulsar]

I ran round the back and it winked at me and was like "bruh" 😉

BOOM!!

[radiant pulsar]

It really seems random to stop the explosion

Maybe sneak attack?

[foggy glacier]

I can sneak attack one-shot them with my bow and they still explode.

[radiant pulsar]

Thank you - Im glad its not just me then

[nocturne wolf]

It seems weird how their attack isn't allowed at a 360 degree angle (it's 5 degrees). Other attacks such as an abomination's stump attack have 360 degree activation.

[radiant pulsar]

Good point

[nocturne wolf]

5 is far too small

[radiant pulsar]

Maybe if they are jumping AWAY from you and you shot them youd be shooting them in the back? (if they didn't rotate mid air lol). This may stop the explosion perhaps?

[shy marlin]

It's more about proactively killing them in a position where they don't make noise around you

[radiant pulsar]

Wiki says they need line of sight to explode

[nocturne wolf]

Don't they always create an explosion when they die?

[radiant pulsar]

I have had it when they dont but I dont know how I achieved it - its a rare event

Hence my Q's

[tacit crystal]

That's my impression too. Shooting afar with backstab bonus causes them to explode as their hp drops to 0.

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah thats what Im getting generally - I think I'll record it next time I manage to kill one without an explosion

[pulsar mortar]

Do we have a channel for translation suggestions?

[hollow obsidian]

hey, I am playing with some friends on a server, and I wanted to know if there were any mods that improve boat costumization at least in the sail color and the like (similar to how you can have different shield styles). Are there any?

[tacit crystal]

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

[pliant hatch]

Well, I just found out that I haven't played real Valheim unless you have killed a Greyling with a fallen tree.

[faint jackal]

Yo how do you unlock the wisp torch recipe? I have both wisp and Yggdrasil wood in my inventory but I don't have the recipe unlocked.

[hollow obsidian]

thanks, I looked at the channel list and only saw the mod help channel

[tacit crystal]

It's buildable by hammer. Look at furniture section.

[plush umbra]

hey everyone, I am starting valheim seriously again and would like to know if there are any recommended dedicated servers? I like singleplayer, but it gets lonely sometimes and i get burnt out

[buoyant panther]

#1024264966712340510 is a good place to find players or servers to play on

[faint jackal]

ty

[graceful vapor]

are planted vineberries bugged?

[sour furnace]

they're very fiddly

[graceful vapor]

i swear they give a lot of fruit when u initally plant them

[tacit crystal]

They are somewhat, yes. During PTB they broke a bit after some patch.

[shy marlin]

@tacit crystal saw your thing in memes and clips, you prolly already know this but you can do the same for the sealed tower 👍

[smoky knot]

Whats the highest population a server can have? and whats the realistic maximum before complete chaos occurs?>

[tacit crystal]

I would have suspected that probably, according to my revelations in Infested mines. But good to know for sure. 👍
Long time since I've cleared Sealed tower.

[tacit crystal]

10 is maximum.

[graceful vapor]

not gonna lie i am considering spawning in some vineberries... maybe putting portals in ruined bldns is enough tho

[smoky knot]

dang i was picturing a server with 100+ people

would be complete chaos on the starter island

lol I have 2 abyssal islands spawned next to eachother, clipping into eachother

[tacit crystal]

If you have found those ruined citadels with vines you surely want to put a portal there and collect berries from time to time.

That is the best way currently.

[pliant hatch]

If you're able to use that command, you might as well spawn the lost items in.

And afaik the Dvergr don't loot bodies or tombstones.

[nimble moss]

I’m sure I saw a comment on here it’s a known bug their progress resets on logout or something

[shy marlin]

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128/1320795423027494943

There's the proof 👍

[azure yacht]

That's the reason it's not 100

[gray sand]

Heh. Imagine if enemies looted your tombstone if you didn't get back to it fast enough 😂

[silver grove]

👍

Hello, greetings from Czech Republic😀

I am a young grandfather of 65 years old and I have been playing Valheim since 2102 and have logged 4100 hours so far.

😆

[azure yacht]

That's called time travel

[sweet relic]

What are a few easy to use mods for few casual players that bring big QoL features

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

Not that the game really needs any.

[sour furnace]

i fought yagluth for my second ever time with nidhogg the primal. it was so funny

[dire plover]

hello, is there an open server that i can join?

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 has plenty of servers that you might be able to join.

[dire plover]

thank you, derek!

[wintry valve]

I wonder how ashland spawn work

Because I swear, I clear an area and I just have to turn around and it fills again. Instantly.

[vocal rivet]

Same as every other biome.

[acoustic temple]

k?

[gray sand]

When you're in dev mode K is "killall nearby enemies and and enemy spawners" (both the normal spawners you're thinking of and the invisible world-places spawners as well)

[acoustic temple]

geez

[gray sand]

Not to be used lightly 😄

[acoustic temple]

overkill much 😄

[vital umbra]

what best enchantment for ashland bow @gray sand

[gray sand]

Green or Red.

Green for "in general" I would say.

[vital umbra]

how bout splitnir

[gray sand]

Which one is that?

[vital umbra]

spear

[arctic badge]

flametal one right?

its also upgradable if im correct. poison, lightning, and that blood stone affect

[gray sand]

Lightning.

[wintry valve]

no way, other biomes dont have entire armies spawn immediately in areas I just cleared

[gray sand]

I do wish Fuling Villages repopulated after like an in-game week tbh.

[vocal rivet]

The mechanics are exactly the same, they'd have to be.

[wintry valve]

Yeah well the result is remarkably different

Today I was talking on a small island in a given direction. I turned around to see behind myself and there were like 8 charred just standing around the path if took.

Its super weird because they act like they were always there.

[acoustic temple]

there are WAY more spawns, more often; was there this morning and it's hell

but, that's the biome; challenging, stressful, lots of death

[wintry valve]

Oh, Im just running around to raise archery. I just find it weird how it all spawns.

Another thing I find weird is when the charred warriors just decides to walk away when I am shooting at them

[vocal rivet]

Pfft, you guys should have tried it pre nerf.

[wintry valve]

nah

[vital umbra]

when was the nerf exactly

i think i did the ptb

why catapult keep saying not in the right position

[pliant radish]

have you tried asking it nicely

[tiny tiger]

What about artisan table black metal fuling totem craft that you can leave at fuling villages for them to have a respawn function otherwise they stay dead to the world?

[pliant radish]

that makes no sense

[tiny tiger]

Me?

The ability to craft a fuling totem made out of black metal that you can then leave in the initial fuling totem pole you loot from fuling villages to have them continuously respawn enemies after your first initial conquest

[pliant radish]

how would it respawn enemies

is there a lore reason for that happening? I feel like the lore is important enough that we can't just make stuff happen for no reason

[gray sand]

Or just have the location marked for targeted Fuling Raids at intervals, so if you want to stay, they will keep trying to take it back.

And if the raid procs and no one is there, they just re-occupy the space.

[shy mantle]

Guys will there be ashlands variants of weapons that currently don't have one, like polearms and knives?

[gray sand]

No.

[shy mantle]

How come?

[gray sand]

No need.

[shy mantle]

I mean, once you hit the ashlands, your weapon choices are kinda reduced

[noble axle]

There should be to offer players more variety in play style

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[silver grove]

they should move on finishing those two bosses, Ashlend took too long and was too much to play, from 2021 we already know there should be 9 bosses🙂

we also played it with 90 mods and the bears were great👍 😀

[gray sand]

Ashlands: Axe, Sword, 2H Sword, Spear, Mace, Bow, Crossbow = 7 weapons

Mistlands: Axe, Sword, 2H Sword, Spear, Hammer, Atgeir, Bow, Crossbow = 8 weapons

Plains: Axe, Sword, Mace, Atgeir, Knife, Bow = 6 weapons

Mountain: Battleaxe, Sword, Mace, Spear, Knife, Bow, Fists = 7 weapons

Swamp: Axe, Battleaxe, Sword, Mace, Spear, Hammer, Atgeir, Bow = 8 weapons

The average per biome is 7, Ashlands gives you 7+Enchantments.

[silver grove]

Now write it in Czech so I can understand it.🔥

[shy mantle]

Fair point when you put it like that

[chrome badge]

It's crazy how good Axes are tbh

[rocky leaf]

They cost soo much stamina though...

[shy mantle]

yea my last playthrough didn't touch axes until I hit ashlands and used the dualies

[chrome badge]

I've never had stam issues with axes 🤨

[rocky leaf]

I use the Crystal Battleaxe rn and it hits reeally hard but costs lots of stamina

[chrome badge]

Ah, I mean the 1H Axes, but yeah that battleaxe is strong and really quick knockback secondary

[rocky leaf]

I'm kinda stuck rn because my team just left and doesn't want to fight anymore but Moder is summoned and... what do I do now

[chrome badge]

Solo Moder and become a god in their eyes

[rocky leaf]

I'm good, but not that good ;-;

I need those two to just distract the boss while I whale on it

[chrome badge]

If there's a nearby plains, you could tame up some lox to fight with

[rocky leaf]

There are plains nearby, but she's on top of the mountain, I can't get the Loxis up there

[chrome badge]

Damn, I'm sure there's a strategy you could use, there's many ways to solo Moder

[rocky leaf]

Guess I'll have to try again... do you think potions help?

[chrome badge]

Oh massively haha

[rocky leaf]

For real? I never used them, except for poison and frost potions

[chrome badge]

Yeah, health potions are great for bosses. If I remember correctly I solo'd Moder using nothing by my Axe some potions and a poison bow with poison arrows.

[gray sand]

Have you heard of our lord and saviour, Tasty Mead?

[rocky leaf]

That one gives increased stam regeneration but decreased health regeneration, right?

[gray sand]

Infinite stamina because no cooldown.

Stacks with Lingering Stamina mead.
Healing debuff does not effect Healing Mead.

[rocky leaf]

So... I should make this?

[gray sand]

Yes.

Barrels of it.

[chrome badge]

Damn I didn't even know that 😮

800 hours deep too 💀

[gray sand]

Tasty is the uncontested best mead in the game.

[sharp bluff]

your natural regen is higher than potions over the length of a fight but stamina is your most important resource

[pliant radish]

holy crap I'm going to spam so many arrows thanks

[gray sand]

Don't shoot while the mead is running or it won't actually regen anything.

[pliant radish]

yeah yeah

[rocky leaf]

I put my current setup in the valheim-help channel, do you think that's good or can I improve something?

[potent bramble]

Why don't the developers add a steam workshop for Valheim so that the community can create mods and easily download them via steam?

[sharp bluff]

nexus is easy enough already

[gray sand]

And just "screw you" to everyone who doesn't own it on steam?

Also: Time, effort, money that are all currently being focused on making the game.

[sharp bluff]

steam modding capabilities dont prevent other modding

[azure yacht]

Because there are 1000 other things that are much more important first

[potent bramble]

Thanks

[steady bough]

Yes

[merry pebble]

April 24/26

[fading blaze]

Was just thinking about something randomly but does anyone know if the ocean has a bottom to it? i was thinking of building an island for a castle/fort base but didnt know if it was possible to raise the ground in the middle of the ocean?

[gray sand]

Yes it has a bottom.

[fading blaze]

interesting

[azure yacht]

You can't

[fading blaze]

😮

[sharp bluff]

the way terrain and water work in this game is performance friendly but has some hard limitations

[gray sand]

This game is performance friendly? 👀

[sharp bluff]

relative to what it is doing? yes

some tasks are just inherently more resource intensive

simulating a chess game is easy
simulating all possible chess games isn't too bad either
simulating a super nova on a particle basis will fry even the university mainframes with their ~16k cores

and no amount of optimization will fix that without massive drops in precision

similarly valheim is pretty good on the optimization side but what it is doing is simply demanding

[regal spoke]

Morning o7

[lethal widget]

I hit a silver vein in just the right way that ALL of it broke under the ground and ended up as sweet ore for my inventory.

It felt like a super crit I loved that feeling so much.

[shy marlin]

[serene talon]

how

[wintry dagger]

Is it better to explore Ashland at night or during the day?

[shy marlin]

During the day

[wintry dagger]

I already have good armor, and it's impossible to explore this new biome

[shy marlin]

If it's too hard you can always lower the difficulty

[wintry dagger]

Is there any item I can use to kill mobs more easily?

[foggy glacier]

the spinesnap with frost arrows. Find one of the ruined structures and climb high enough, then start shooting.

[lethal widget]

I think almost all the biomes in the game are made for suffering until you get enough material for it to be more bearable.

[teal matrix]

Exploring anywhere is generally safer during the day

[cosmic igloo]

staff of embers + staff of protection. mage is easier, just kite and shoot fireballs. very safe

[smoky knot]

am I seeing shit or is there a guy standing and holding a pitchfork or spear that poofs when you look at him?

[void sorrel]

That is Odin

[tacit crystal]

What gear exactly?

[smoky knot]

I get having an all seeing eye but how about not giving us heart attacks

running thru thick brush in the dark and theres a dude standing there and poofs

[regal spoke]

Dad always shows up when I'm building. Pretty sure he likes my work

[rotund bay]

I do wish they'd change how spears are held and used in the game
I wanna poke it like a spear, not a javelin
why must it be used to do an over head attack

sure there's the atgeir but I like the look of my spears
atleas I can throw em

[noble axle]

that's a 1 handed spear and apparently how they used to use irl I guess

not a 2 handed longer one which u hold with 2 hands

[paper roost]

the holding of the spear is fine, it was used both ways in the history. what i see wrong about it, that its hitting multiple enemies, thats definitely something that such weapon with tip shouldnt do

[wintry valve]

to be fair, they are also using two handed hammers, and swords wrong

[regal spoke]

Anyone play For Honor. Just a little diversity in the attack animation for spear would be sweet.
