valheim-chat

[plush umbra]

im thinking of just using melee because magic is too glass cannon

[robust delta]

idk i had a better time as mage vs my melee buddies

[tacit crystal]

Do you utilise protection staff?

[robust delta]

being able to parry with blood shield with any attack goes rlly hard

[noble axle]

but is it actually a parry tho

[plush umbra]

i only have 12 blood magic so its not really useful
doesnt the parry still make your shield take the full damage?

[robust delta]

yea, tho you can utilize staggering something for either more dmg or to make space

[merry pebble]

You have to time it and enemy goes to stagger if they are not imune, seems like parry to me

[robust delta]

handy on the morgs i suppose

[merry pebble]

Levels are not really that needed

[robust delta]

pretty much. idk if it buffs up ur blocking skill, but u can parry any attack without needing to worry about ur stagger bar or hp ratio

[tacit crystal]

How about weapons, which staff do you use? Do you have backup melee weapon for dire situations?

[misty cloak]

OK grausten is niiiiice

[plush umbra]

the fire staff and demolisher

[paper roost]

if you mean for building, try to damage the wall like 30% or so, it cretes great cracs in it

[tacit crystal]

As mage it is important to keep some distance from enemies and throw those fire balls at them. Some mobility doesn't hurt either, so Ratatosk and Lightfoot meads are really useful for that.

[misty cloak]

Oooo, ill check it out

Dead Raiser goes a LONG way to helping you keep distance

[tacit crystal]

Having some skeletons with shield bubbles can help keeping enemies occupied at them so you can hurl those fire balls at the enemies.

[plush umbra]

dont they just die instantly

[tacit crystal]

You can cast shield bubble at them.

[misty cloak]

And they are NOT basic skellies

Even just getting your enemy to stand over there for a couple attacks and maybe getting a couple hundred damage, they've given you space

[tacit crystal]

They have more hp and damage than normal skeletons you have met earlier. The damage scales with the blood magic skill lvl.

[paper roost]

the skellies are a bit tricky, you need time to summon them, so dont do it if you are already swarm by enemies

[robust delta]

ice staff is pretty good for raw damage. it gets a lot better if you can stagger an enemy, though more for single target

also is nice for the fire slimes

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, summoning them beforehand not during fight.

[robust delta]

dead raiser is all fun and games till they wander in lava or water for some reason haha

[tacit crystal]

Some enemies in Ashlands also deal friendly fire, so you can also use that for your advance.

[paper roost]

you know that, but the new guy probably not 😉

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, that's why I clarified that.

[robust delta]

to help out with precasting dead raiser, and just recharging in general i suppose, you can either place a campfire and sit down to rest, or go to a place/home that has shelter so u can just walk in and get rested. ur eitr will recharge incredibly fast

[merry pebble]

The deadraiser if kinda.... meh, the best staves from mistlands are protection + embers, folowed by frost and then deadraiser

[misty cloak]

Eh, if you sprint a lot spelling will fall too far behind to help, BUT I'm also pretty solid at maintaining distance in chaos, so depending on your dodge skill, summoning in combat is fine

[robust delta]

yeah practicality of dead raiser gets better if you farm levels for blood magic cuz of protection staff, but otherwise ur best off goin ham

[misty cloak]

Honestly real, if you get lucky and get a melee and a ranged skelly though

Ranged skellies are nice

[merry pebble]

True true 🙂

[misty cloak]

What i REALLY want is the verger healing staff

[wintry valve]

Progressing in the ashland is annoying because I feel like its utterly random if you'll be able to actually go forward. For instance, whenever I try to chop down a tree, its likely that somehow the entire forces of mordor will show up to interrupt me. So yeah, I do get something like 10 ashwood but at the same time, I gotta fend monsters for five minutes. If I'm lucky, the fighting wont attract tyranids or something.

[tacit crystal]

That's quite natural: chopping wood produces noise and noise attracts enemy mobs nearby.

[wintry valve]

Im gon be honest with you, it doesnt happen as much in any other areas than the ashlands.

[misty cloak]

Tbf, ashlands are cranked up to 11

[paper roost]

its quite hard to follow your vocabulary, but if you mean morgen, he can help a lot with chopping

[wintry valve]

morgen?

[misty cloak]

Giant rolly polly bone spider

[wintry valve]

I mean why is he talking about those?

[ancient agate]

Chopping and Mining makes 100m (of noise)

[tacit crystal]

Morgen are rolling menaces for trees/buildings/boulders.

[wintry valve]

I know, but I'm generally more concerned about me when I'm seeing those.

[vocal rivet]

He's probably trying to work out what you meant by tyranids.

[wintry valve]

I was just trying to be funny with this. Tyranids are numerous nasty beasts.

[vocal rivet]

But not in this game.

[misty cloak]

Honestly, the thing with the ashlands is that they're just straight up much higher octane then the prior zones. They can definitely make you feel the skill gap, much like when you first experience swamps

[wintry valve]

I guess it didnt land. I was just saying that theres a lot of enemies in the ashlands, sometime to a ridiculous amounts.

[paper roost]

if you havent try first public test, you dont know what ridiculous amount means 😄

[wintry valve]

That it was worse before doesnt mean is good now

[misty cloak]

How bad was it? I need to knowewww

[wintry valve]

I know what "ridiculous" is. I play other games. Serious Sam for instance.

[paper roost]

than check some streamers from first days

[vocal rivet]

Yes, a very similar game.

[wintry valve]

Yeah I always whip out my minigun in the ashland

[robust delta]

that would be so awesome

[merry pebble]

A lot more mobs and they were atracted to you even by noise you didnt personally make 🙂 tho it was still entirely doable, i am quite sad they were nerfed

[robust delta]

frost staff appreciates the compliment

[merry pebble]

We have shotgun 😄 enough for me

[wintry valve]

I forget that the staves are basically guns in this game

[paper roost]

the first patch was ok, it was a bit too much, but later nerf was not necessary in my opinion as well

[misty cloak]

The thing with the ashlands is that you REALLY need to be on top of your game., for me a big part of the answer to that has been mods so that I can extend my interest in loot and go beyond the devs intentions. But for vanilla ashlands you need to squad up, or be ON TOP OF IT.

[vocal rivet]

I mean, it's completely do-able solo, like the rest of the game.

[misty cloak]

Oh 100% but you can't be a slouch. That's what I meant by on top of your game

[merry pebble]

Also was doable solo before nerf

[robust delta]

true ashlands don't mess around

[vocal rivet]

Oh, absolutely. Now it's still tough and you can't just charge in and expect to live.

What a weird response.

[paper roost]

its not tough anymore

[vocal rivet]

Oh, it is. Just not as tough as it was before.

[merry pebble]

Well i mean... Technically you can charge in and expect to live 😄 but your expectation will be quickly corrected

[wintry valve]

What I think yall missing is that when people complain about the ashland, they are saying they don't find it fun. Yes, it is doable solo. I did it solo. I didn't find it fun initially and it took a long time for me to start liking it occasionally. Its the same for the Mistlands. I hate that place even though now I am no longer scared of it.

[vocal rivet]

Of course you won't find it fun if your approach is completely wrong.

[wintry valve]

Perhaps these players that are complaining missed a detail, or werent used to certain gameplay elements. I don't know. Maybe its their fault. Maybe it wasnt clear enough that they could use these features, etc etc.

[paper roost]

what do you like complainboy? meadows?

[odd helm]

Easy now

[robust delta]

yes

[tacit crystal]

Nah, that's uncalled.

[wintry valve]

is being rude the default culture, here?

[vocal rivet]

No, fortunately not.

[misty cloak]

This is where a different discussion comes into play.

You sadly won't get much support up here for mentioning zones may have flaws lol

[vocal rivet]

Huh, of course you will. I don't think there's a perfect biome in the game.

[misty cloak]

Tbf, I do love the ashlands, it's exactly what I want out of a biome. I however HATE the mistlands with a passion because of the mists

[wintry valve]

Well im not the only one saying that. And as ive seen, there's many players pointing these flaws. The best yall could do is at least listen, because there might be some truth to it. Maybe the ashland is tuned the right way and the problem is elsewhere. I dont know.

[misty cloak]

Personally I enjoy the ashlands a lot, but sometimes I'll skip eikthyr for shits and giggles.

[wintry valve]

heh, its minor, but one of the thing that irked me when I started in the ashland is just how much the fire resistance potion was of little use.

I seriously expected it would help, with all the lava

[robust delta]

oh yeah i never thought about that

[wintry valve]

I guess lava isnt technically fire

[misty cloak]

Maybe it has an upgraded version?

[robust delta]

lava does true damage until u step out then it's fire dot leftover im pretty sure

[paper roost]

i hated ashland when it came out, not couse of the difficulty, but i just expected something else from mobs. now i just enjoy the view, the lava and buildings are beautiful and now you have actually time to enjoy it. there have been big progress on fps performance, even tho it still lags much more than other bioms.

[vocal rivet]

Which kinda makes sense thematically.

[robust delta]

angry forsaken fire

[wintry valve]

Now im wondering if standing next to a burning viking can provide a rest bonus

[robust delta]

rest asured, there is no rest asured

[merry pebble]

Well considering that said viking can be cold while on fire i would say no...

[vocal rivet]

OK, now that's funny.

[misty cloak]

I feel like I'm in a souls game now lol

[robust delta]

i do like that the charred warriors fake you out. that's the funniest shit to me

[wintry valve]

Oh, completely unrelated. I wish that the "wet" debuff was applied progressively rather than be slapped with 2 minutes drenching wet because you were exposed to the rain for a second.

I dunno, dead vikings tends to turn into tombstones
Hard to chew

[robust delta]

that sounds kinda nice. if u care 'nuff ya should slap it in the suggestions chat

[robust delta]

with the power of pressing e, you could conjure potential food from said tombstone though

[wintry valve]

Honestly I prefer to just say whatever's on my mind. This server is a bit too adversarial with whatever I wish.

[misty cloak]

Don't the devs kindof avoid that chat after a bunch of people got WAY too forceful with it?

[robust delta]

forceful? im not sure what that means

[vocal rivet]

Smiffe has mostly noped out of responding, but still reads it.

[misty cloak]

Join us on the dark side, mod the game lol

[vocal rivet]

Pfft.

[misty cloak]

This saddens me

[wintry valve]

eh... I dont like modding games.

And I mean, the rain annoys me but its not enough for me to go ahead and mod it out or something.

[misty cloak]

For me it's an important part of extending the longevity of the games I love. And typically you find mods to add things, like cloaks with the waterproof modifier, backpacks, or more loot

[robust delta]

i don't really care much for it, tho i don't do it on first playthrough. if something sounds interesting then i'll probably check it out (like lethal company, tho i like both versions)
praise vanilla valheim for world settings

[misty cloak]

Or craft from chest!

[robust delta]

really has been a nice time farming stuff with x2 resource, though it still feels strange getting used to plucking a mushroom and 2 pop out (brother in arms they rise they die together, in my belly 🫡)

[misty cloak]

all time favorite lol

[wintry valve]

I think the reason I dont like to mod games is because I like to talk about them with the same context in mind. I don't know if that makes sense.

[vocal rivet]

Eh, that's vanilla though, not modded.

[robust delta]

yeah that makes sense

[wintry valve]

I make an exception for Morrowind though. This game is a mess and anyone playing it should absolutely get the unofficial patch.

[misty cloak]

Valid, I always recommend an initial playthrough in vanilla so you can see the experience the devs intended, and then after that I add things to my liking

[robust delta]

yeah that was mostly just me talking about a different thing suddenly, and vanilla valheim is mostly wanted here too. haven't checked out valheim mods but eventually i'll prolly will

[paper roost]

you still dont know the game properly, unless you try multiple weapons, combat styles etc 😉

[vocal rivet]

90% of the things that were modded back in the early days of the game have either been fixed or added to the game. Frankly a lot of what is in mods now just stops the game being the game.

[robust delta]

that's awesome

[misty cloak]

I am a gear slut lol. I tend to sample the whole platter

[wintry valve]

"I enjoy all the meats of our cultural stew!"

[robust delta]

oh yea world settings used to be modded stuff some time ago right? i came around when ashlands was releasing in like a week

[wintry valve]

I dont think I ever used polearms

[misty cloak]

Craft from chest, more creatures, more gear, more..... well almost anything

[craggy niche]

Crafting from chest is usually a bad mechanic in multiplayer

[vocal rivet]

None of which the game needs in the slightest.

[wintry valve]

Why?

Oh wait no, nvm, I can see why.

[misty cloak]

That's where we disagree.

[vocal rivet]

It's very easy to use up resources.

[robust delta]

in moderation it's kinda okay. necesse is nice quality of life for it, though it's a game similar to terraria

[vocal rivet]

Only there?

[robust delta]

just don't over use stuff for yourself and think of others/replenish what u took

[craggy niche]

Lag from synchronizing multiple chests on interaction. See any game that mods it in and where crafting from chests is banned on multiplayer, e.g. Terraria or Conan

Same with valheim

[misty cloak]

Oh probably in a lot of places, I probably put you right behind sev in people I dislike here, but id rather not antagonize others for no reason

[craggy niche]

Imagine a server where every time a player touches a chest or bench, it opens the whole storage room to full sync

[vocal rivet]

Gosh, you wouldn't even make my top 10.

[robust delta]

you two need a room 😂

[misty cloak]

I mean, you've spent A LOT more time in this server then I have? And I try not to be snide

[craggy niche]

Valheim multiplayer couldn't handle bronze age storage with crafting from chests mods

[vocal rivet]

I've been here since 2021 if that's what you mean, yeah.

[gray sand]

What did I ever do to you?

[misty cloak]

Definitely, I don't even know how low you'd place on the full list

[robust delta]

when you say crafting from chests(:? ;? i dunno which punctuation fits there) do you mean like you're at a crafting bench and you can pull resources from nearby chests, or you can open a chest and have a crafting menu like as if you were in a workbench?

[vocal rivet]

Full list of what?

[gray sand]

:

[paper roost]

he is enjoying to be hated 😄

[robust delta]

)
we now make a smiley face
:)

[wintry valve]

What if you could link a chest to a crafting station?

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely.

[craggy niche]

Both. They cause the same problem of expanding and synchronizing inventories between multiple players.

[gray sand]

I was answering which punctuation 😭

[misty cloak]

We disagree a lot, you come off like youre looking down your nose at people a lot, and on a certain level youve reached the "i enjoy disliking you" plateau, where it's almost more friendly hate lol

[robust delta]

too bad you fell for my trap 😏
thx for the clarification tho

[gray sand]

The only context in which I look down my nose at people is when they are shorter than I am.

[misty cloak]

People i dislike, although calling it a list is a bit misleading since I don't track them for the most part I just ignore those people

[robust delta]

i will throw out there that lack of tone really throws stuff off. i dunno if it'd change much or everything, but irl probably would have different effects

[craggy niche]

Could work better, but it would start to play like Factorio/Satisfactory with virtual belts (both games are optimized for this problem though)

[noble axle]

theres many people in here who just like to argue with players and disagree with just about everything

[paper roost]

well, back to my flesh rippers ashland, have fun guys

[misty cloak]

I'd kill for this. Soulmask has probably my favorite inventory management system

[wintry valve]

Well I was more thinking like a new chest type called "craftsman chest" or something and a given crafting station can link itself to one of them.

[misty cloak]

Decent chance, there's also just that everyone speaks differently. It's why I try not to treat people I dislike differently

[craggy niche]

Yeah, the concept is perfomant with limits. If we could spam the chest as in valheim, it could still cause problems. Factory games solve the problem by carefully limiting how many links/storage units can exist in a given area (i.e. cannot clip chests to cram more).

[robust delta]

good lad

[gray sand]

Satisfactory has no such limits on how many of anything you can build in any area 😂

[craggy niche]

Factorio is the better example I think (for performance)

[misty cloak]

Honestly I think my biggest ask of the game would be for progression to make old chores easier, more things like the scythe.

My favorite example of this being dragon quest builders 2

But, I'm not big on mass grinds

[gray sand]

Grinds? In a game founded on grinding?

Say it ain't so...

[misty cloak]

Ikik. But I'd rather old grinds get simpler so I can focus on new things lol. It's why I eventually lose interest in a lot of games like satisfactory. The grind IS the game

[gray sand]

Suppressing the absolute hatred mentioning that game bubbles up in me 😁

[misty cloak]

The scythe is probably my favorite single addition to the game because of this

[wintry valve]

I wish we could use the galdr table to create certain types of seeds like ashtree seeds, or blueberry bush seeds

[gray sand]

I wish the Mistlands didn't have copper and iron in it.

[wintry valve]

Why?

[misty cloak]

NO, we use the fire staff to light beech trees on fire turning them into ash wood trees!

[gray sand]

Reasons to return to previous biomes = good.
Hence why plantable bushes = bad.

[ancient agate]

I disagree with this😉

[misty cloak]

Ah, but copper mining is just..... objectively the worst mining

[gray sand]

That is false.

[wintry valve]

I get what you mean. I do wish there were more reasons to go in them biomes, but as of now, we arent getting them and getting these ressources becomes a chore more than anything past a certain point.

[misty cloak]

What's worse then copper?

[gray sand]

All mining is good. 👍

[craggy niche]

How to connect the carrot farm to boar farm to the wolf farm so that feeding boar with carrots will drop meat for wolves?

[robust delta]

i guess wishbone trying to mine a iron scrap pile would be worse than copper
cuz ur always wet, and nighttime would be scary
don't know why you'd be doing that but technically would be there ig

[wintry valve]

But its also how we can make ceramic ships, build with marble, invoke fire and lightning. But somehow planting a berry bush is something we cannot figure out.

[gray sand]

"A game founded and designed on grinding becomes a chore."

?

[misty cloak]

Naw, copper is the exception, low drop rate, low density, no tricks. It's just pure mind numbingly grind

[noble axle]

wishbone is not bad but trying to find Iron without going into a crypt or wishbone is probably the hardest thing to do in the game mining wise

[wintry valve]

Hell, they could make it that them bushes can only grow in their respective biomes.

[gray sand]

Grind? In a game founded on grinding?

Say it ain't so...

[ancient agate]

I find Iron Mining to be worse, it makes me feel like there are no more Iron Nodes in the terrain and that it was all consumed by some (now dead) faction a long time ago

[gray sand]

Carrot output needs a VOP junction to also send seeds to the Chicken farm at intervals.

[ancient agate]

Copper and Silver are my favorite ores to mine, because it feels like finding something valuable in the terrain where other denizens haven't searched yet

[craggy niche]

Thanks for the extension to chickens

Now to figure out how to load balance in valheim

[gray sand]

Copper and Silver are also dual-resource mining. Can't complain about that because 2 things for the price of one.

[robust delta]

silver is funny when u unearth all of it and breaking off some chunks makes the rest crumble down

[ancient agate]

I religiously pop the Silver Ys

[gray sand]

Manifold better.

[ancient agate]

Some call it overkill, but I call it satisfying

[robust delta]

that's what im sayin

[craggy niche]

Can you build one in valheim? (Serious question)

[misty cloak]

Honestly if I could pop copper like I can silver i think I'd be happy

[wintry valve]

What I like to do to get grausten is that I lure lava blobs to rocks and then facehug them to detonate them. Somehow it blows up a ton of underground grausten too. However there was one time where... I dont know what happened, it blew up the entire mountain, but also the entire undergroudn section of it. There was grausten everywhere.

[ancient agate]

It's way less common, but you CAN

[gray sand]

Why is only the one i lowercased 😭😭😭

[ancient agate]

I try every time

[misty cloak]

Idk lol

[gray sand]

Nope.

[tacit crystal]

Same works with the ruins found all over in Ashlands. Lava blob explodes the foundations underground.

[wintry valve]

Yeah but in this case, the destruction was huuuuuuge

[gray sand]

Grausten is just taking battering ram to one of the buildings and demolishing the bottom floor. Rest pops on its own.

[ancient agate]

I need to see this and I haven't even gotten to the biome yet, list of Valheim goals increased by 1

[wintry valve]

grausten popped up in an area about as big as an ashland fortress

[wintry valve]

Honestly I wouldnt even know how to recreate that.

[tacit crystal]

Also, Trollstav does it too (explodes things underground).

[ancient agate]

If I ever succeed, I will tell you

[ancient agate]

When I first saw this used on Stone pillars in the Plains, I literally had to back the video up. I'm glad the 'summon' is not allied because that might temper this item's use (slightly) and prevent all pickaxes from going dull

[craggy niche]

I found Mistlands more abundant for stone mining. I think Plains pillars have been a little too popular for a while.

[tacit crystal]

You should try it with copper nodes, lol.

[craggy niche]

Although Yagluth stone pillars are always amazing for stone yields

[ancient agate]

I didn't know those were breakable

[craggy niche]

Yagluth blows them up frequently

[merry pebble]

They no longer are 🙂

[gray sand]

Skip Yag, proceed directly to Mistlands 😏

[ancient agate]

I have been waiting on my buddy before fighting him

[craggy niche]

Wait what? The stone pillars that look like fingers?

[merry pebble]

yep

[tacit crystal]

Since when?

[craggy niche]

I just blew them up two weeks ago

[merry pebble]

They now have a layer that will not break 🙂

[craggy niche]

Do they have a terrain interior like Mistlands rocks?

[merry pebble]

I think one of them can be broken completly, bbut 4 of them cant

[craggy niche]

Mistlands rocks have awkward raised ground, so they form like a tooth

[merry pebble]

I think it was before ashlands 🤔 not totaly sure but i also didnt believe it until i tested it

[merry pebble]

Its not like that, they have breakable interior and unbreakable shell basically 🙂

[tacit crystal]

If that's true, I've been quite unaware of that.

[craggy niche]

Having trouble imaging that

[merry pebble]

Will go test it once more just to be sure but i think i remember this one correctly

[craggy niche]

Should probably test it or watch someone

[merry pebble]

I can go into vc and stream it if you want

[tacit crystal]

Gotta test it for sure.

[craggy niche]

How to break the interior of something with unbreakable exterior?

I'd be interested in seeing it

[gray sand]

Insult their mother.

[merry pebble]

In Hugins hints if you want 🙂

[craggy niche]

Thanks. In meetings atm, so I can't be on voice, but I can watch

Weird. What about pickaxe?

Awesome, thanks for the stream

Explains why I exited the fight with a few stacks of stone too

Now I wonder if I can have Yagluth as a guard doggo for base with a shield generator (base built on top of stone fingers)

[merry pebble]

Eeeeh, no? Meteors, you would not be able to refill the generator fast enough

[gray sand]

RELEASE THE METEOR!

[craggy niche]

Many shield generators

[merry pebble]

And where will you get that many bones in a steady suply?

[craggy niche]

Walking through ashlands

[gray sand]

Ashlands throws heaps of bones at you.

[tiny tiger]

Hell you’ll have stacks of bones from chambers and swamps

[craggy niche]

I kind of wish we had charred bone stacks though

[merry pebble]

That implies leaving the base and shield generators unattended 🙂

[craggy niche]

Does yag drop meteors while away?

I thought shield generator doesn't take damage unless loaded in

Otherwise several bases in multiplayer would be destroyed while players offline just by sleeping

[merry pebble]

Well he might get in few hits when going away or comming in 🙂

[craggy niche]

True, I guess needs testing if sustainable and how many shield generators would be needed

Or better if teleporting in can avoid alerting yag

[merry pebble]

Also, bosses dont attack anything but the player faction, so "guard dog" will not do much guarding

[craggy niche]

Will the fire aoe damage not kill enemies from other biomes?

[merry pebble]

I dont think he has friendly fire

[craggy niche]

Eg night seekers

[tiny tiger]

I’ve heard of playing enslaving the god of deers to maximise windmill production but yagluth??

[noble axle]

Fader's attacks can kill the enemies, why can't Yags 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Friendly fire wasn't introduced until ashlands

[buoyant panther]

Mythology wise, I believe ||the charred ones and beasts of the land were mostly the target of Fader's ire and malice, so are not allied with him||. Whereas in the plains, ||Fulings and the plains creatures were faithful to Yagluth until the end. Yagluth's beef is with Odin (and you)||

[merry pebble]

But it used to be even in earlier biomes iirc

[nocturne wolf]

Any examples?

[gray sand]

Fire that turns Wood Piles into Coal instantly, we call that friendly fire! 🙂

[merry pebble]

I believe draugr archers could kill other draugr at one point, but that would be years ago

[gray sand]

I have iron now!!!

Had to convert to being an archer to get it, but we got it done. 😄

[tiny tiger]

There’s a certain irony in the fact that I’m looking for nearby chatter and can’t find any

[tacit crystal]

I remember when I was quite new to the game and somehow expected those Trolls with a log to deal friendly damage to those nasty Greydwarves that chased me at the same time and boy how I was wrong.

[primal pebble]

will boars spawn on land that i cultivated/ pathened but havent build any structures

[merry pebble]

Yep, if there is no player base structure around

[limpid vigil]

Fun game, I got disconnected and now I got no iron items anymore

instead I got a duplicated bow 🙂

and my Iron Key haha fun game

[merry pebble]

You could try to load backups

[limpid vigil]

Not my server sadly, my friend's internet crashed and we both got screwed

[tacit crystal]

Well, maybe your friend could try load backups then. Does your friend have stable connection (wired cable)?

[light moat]

Spawn in items maybe? 🤔

[snow flicker]

sylvester stallone looks like an asksvin when you look him up and look at the first photo lol

[cosmic igloo]

lol true

[little quiver]

Hey y’all I have been out of the loop for a minute, any news on the next biome release or any updates that are coming out next?

[tacit crystal]

No news yet.

[merry pebble]

There will be one more biome (Deep North) added that is currently in development, and simultaneously with the Deep North will be the 1.0/full release update 🙂 but as Joelkkii said we have no news about when that might be

[azure yacht]

#news

[little quiver]

Sweet looking forward to, is there any expectation of adding any more minor dlc such as the bog witch for example. Or any upcoming updates of adding more to the sea?

[merry pebble]

Also no news/info unfortunately

[azure yacht]

There are.

But they're irrelevant

[little quiver]

Ah I thought there was some talk about it a while ago hopefully there is hoping to start a new world once the new biome comes out feels like I haven’t played the game in forever

[light moat]

I don’t remember the details, but we did get some dev talk on The Spill, it’s worth the watch (the Valheim parts) if you haven’t seen it already.

#news message <— The Spill

[misty cloak]

Yo, am I missing something, or is the fracture staff just bad?

[tacit crystal]

Btw they are not DLCs.

[nocturne wolf]

If you're using it against ashlands enemies, the problem there is the damage type. It deals a TON of fire damage so hopefully it's useful in deep north.

At level 3 every shot has a total of 432 base damage

[misty cloak]

Oooo, ok, so it's just didn't have a good show for me

[gray sand]

The tooltip on the weapon makes no sense.

[merry pebble]

Does it need to make sense?

Some of the tool tips are literally jokes 🙂

[gray sand]

Tooltips should all make sense.

[velvet briar]

hello everyone 🙂

[quick horizon]

Hey

I didn't think I would find players for my server here so quickly 😄

[gray sand]

Share your tips and tricks when all the people who say #1024264966712340510 doesn't work show up later 😉😁

[quick horizon]

It will probably work even better if you help me 😎

[gray sand]

My tips: play solo. Problem solved.

[quick horizon]

Vikings are like monkeys... only together are they real strength! 🙂

[gray sand]

Lies. Falsehoods. Deceit.

[quick horizon]

It's a pity that the troll who was shot by our players does not share your opinion.

[gray sand]

Trolls are helpful creatures. Why would you kill? 😭😭

[quick horizon]

that was a very sad troll

[tacit crystal]

Wiki doesn't tell, so does anyone know the stagger multiplier of Flesh rippers' secondary (kick) attack?

[quick horizon]

Treat it as an act of mercy on Our part. ps thanks to his skin our characters feel warm in their bottoms

[tacit crystal]

Testing them in Ashlands and work surprisingly well, can stagger warrior with a kick, so I wonder what's the stagger multiplier of it.

[gray sand]

The parry multiplier is x6. So I'd imagine the kick one is pretty high as well.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I know that. But the stagger multiplier of the kick is still a mystery to me.

[marble sable]

How do you guys fortify bases that are on cliffs downhill?

Cause walls are tough to make at that angle and they look bad

[regal spoke]

Try to create sheer faces mobs can't climb. Or a perimeter trench/moat that works with the hill.

[gray sand]

I turn raids off 😉

[regal spoke]

Scale issue pfft

[nocturne wolf]

I’m pretty sure it’s 3x

I’ll check now

[gray sand]

Not really.
I can deal with raids. I just choose not to.

[tacit crystal]

Do you have any source to that?

[regal spoke]

Winters doc is no longer in the pins here. Rip

I was looking into it Joelkkii. Still digging.

@tacit crystal found something you may have seen idk. It's on Reddit in r/Valheim. "Google Spreadsheet Weapon Damage Calculator and More"

Nice doc

[gray sand]

Just ask Smiffe to ask the programmers 😏

[regal spoke]

There's that

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve just checked this by reading variables in-game with UnityExplorer
It’s actually 6x

[cosmic summit]

Once y9u get the joten slayer axe is there any point to using the elders power? I down trees in 2 hits with or without the power running

[gray sand]

You're dropping oak trees in 2 hits?

[cosmic summit]

Birch. I've never seen enough oak together that elders power would be useful

[nocturne wolf]

This is enough to consistently stagger a charred warrior with high skill

[gray sand]

When you plant them yourself.

[cosmic summit]

They don't drop seeds often enough for me to build up a forest

[gray sand]

Bad luck 😦

[tacit crystal]

Thanks @nocturne wolf and @regal spoke! Yeah I was quite consistently staggering them warriors so I suspected it being high.

[regal spoke]

That's how spears feel against many mobs. Not so much against charred.

Thanks @nocturne wolf for the Intel. Very cool

[cosmic summit]

I'll keep trying. Right now I have three oaks and last time I cut them down I got three seeds. I'd love to have an entire forest of oaks eventually

[regal spoke]

Perhaps skill level helps with seed drops idk? Rng is a thing

[gray sand]

Wouldn't be surprised if that was added with the new system.

[merry pebble]

Nope, level doesent have anything to do with drops for woodcutting

[regal spoke]

Thanks for the correction. So strictly luck on how many and how often seeds drop?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[regal spoke]

Sweet o7

[nocturne wolf]

Flesh rippers have 6x backstab so that means a backstab secondary is 36x stagger

[misty cloak]

This is why I'm dooooomed

[regal spoke]

Why doomed o.O

[misty cloak]

Rngesus HATES me. I got through like, 20 oaks for 3 seeds

[regal spoke]

Wow if accurate that's some tough luck.

[misty cloak]

I can't maintain a farm of them because of it

At one point I had 11 at my farm and not 1 dropped a seed

[regal spoke]

It'll feel amazing when you finally hit that multi drop though. Improve your axe and skill. Less swings for more efficient slot machine 🎰 pulls lol

[misty cloak]

Oh dude, it did. I got a six drop, a 3, and about 4 1 drops. But I can't get consistent drops

To give you an idea of my luck. I once had a guy roll toughness in a tabletop game (5 or 6 on a six sided, the model lives) 11 times in a row. It was enraging

[regal spoke]

Consistency and RnGesus are never exclusive

[misty cloak]

True, rngesus consistently hates me lol

[trail pelican]

that would be cool if it WERE a thing, and/or alternatively Elder power buffing seed rate drop

[misty cloak]

YO, that would be an awesome buff to his power so it didn't just get forgotten

[regal spoke]

If I can knock more trees in a given period of time. I increase my odds of* better drops. Or no? Is that not how farming works

[misty cloak]

You're thinking of cumulative weighting

Seed drop rate is a fixed rate

[regal spoke]

The elder buff is a sweet idea. Correlation to its current

[misty cloak]

Yo, is there a way to bridge lava rivers? I thought grousten might be safe from melting, but I was wrong

[tacit crystal]

The damage for the 2nd hit of the 2 hit combo deals quite hefty amount of damage due to that backstab multiplier.

[regal spoke]

No seeds drop right. But the quantity is random. That's what we are trying to fix or increase rate of...drop odds

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal beams and pillars don’t take damage in lava

[near furnace]

if someone uses the snap-points correctly, you can build stable pillars straight down into the lava 👀

[misty cloak]

Oooo, gotcha, I JUST found my squads first fortress. On break now because of aforementioned attempts at crossing lava

[nocturne wolf]

You can use basalt bombs if you only need something temporary

[misty cloak]

Finally got our stuff and managed to solo run back, while being chased by 2 valkyries, a 1 star asksvin, a morgen, and gods know how much else lol

[misty cloak]

I like this idea, shouldn't be all that different from building a pier, except on fire lol

[tacit crystal]

Well, at least you got your stuff back.

[misty cloak]

REAL. Granted, I lost patience and am now playing on keep my equipped stuff mode, 4th playthrough it finally lost it's allure lol.

But hot damn was that a tight run

Had to build a tower to fly over the lava river, to land on a platform i placed, so i could grab our stuff out of the river just for the start

And by fly I mean featherfall

[light moat]

This is extremely useful to know 👀

[tacit crystal]

During PTB I had another fully upgraded protection staff in my base in case of corpse runs. So what I did was eating 1 eitr food to cast protection bubble, then eat pukeberry to puke it out, waited for the debuff to wear off then ate proper foods, waited for some hp regen and went to my corpse.

[trail pelican]

I will probably literally steal this

I THINK I read somewhere--don't quote me--you can build above the lava with regular buildpieces too (i.e. ones that would break due to the heat damage) if its high enough, i.e. it won't take heat damage, so presumably you could set some pillars down, then build a whole base above hte lava

[light moat]

I think this is the biggest brain Strat I’ve ever seen here

[misty cloak]

Yea, if I had one complaint about the lava it's that you can dip your toe in and just barely take damage. This led to me thinking that was how ALL lava worked

Very rough lesson lol

[nocturne wolf]

In older versions, all lava did the same very high damage

[tacit crystal]

Well, during PTB it literally could kill in matter of seconds if you dipped your toes slightly in lava.

[misty cloak]

Bring this back lol

[tacit crystal]

It was balanced to deal more damage when deeper.

[misty cloak]

Let me learn my lesson on tiny lava lol

WAY easier to get my stuff back then on a failed river crossing pre flametal

[sour furnace]

What's the intended way to seige fuling camps? Surely sniping them from a rock god spot isn't intended.

[misty cloak]

Rock god, baiting them in small groups, build a siege camp, being really good at melee, etc

[vocal rivet]

Why not?

[tacit crystal]

Any way that get them all dead.

[nocturne wolf]

I use a bow to bring small groups out for melee combat

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir is strong contestant as good AoE melee weapon.

[misty cloak]

Dig a hole and slow harpoon drag all of them into it so you can kill them with a couple bile bombs

All sorts of fun shenanigans

[tacit crystal]

Force them to swim over river/water so you deal more damage with Frostner.

Snipe with Huntsman bow as it has the smallest alert radius of all bows.

Literally, anything is possible.

[trail pelican]

later, artillery bombardment from a boat or by troll is probably the most entertaining method

[misty cloak]

You could bugs bunny them, make a bridge over a deadly pit to deconstruct mid crossing

Fill the pit with campfires and pufferfish

[trail pelican]

refined eitr alternative good choice

[misty cloak]

Wouldn't they break that? Or am I missing something

[tacit crystal]

Not refinery, the green balls.

[trail pelican]

I mean the little balls of refined eitr you get, the product of refining the tissue and sap--if you just drop it in the pit, it'll kill the fulings with the "radiation" it randomly spits off

[sour furnace]

well, those are some nice ideas. I was just thinking about the ashlands fortresses and how the intended method was probably to shoot catapults into the walls untill you kill most of the enemies then use a battering ram, (or just a hoe/ladder/trollstav). I was wondering if there was something like that for the fulings

[misty cloak]

THEY HURT THINGS?

[tacit crystal]

They also shoot projectiles like the refinery.

[misty cloak]

How have I never noticed this

[sour furnace]

They shoot out little balls of poison and lightning

[trail pelican]

drop enough individual instances of reifned eitr, and the average damage can get quite high

[misty cloak]

That's hilarious

[trail pelican]

be mindful, it WILL kill you TOO

[noble axle]

rn I am doing Fists only Very Hard and its pretty fun but also not rlly 😅

[nimble moss]

36x of what? Kick Dmg?

[ancient agate]

Or were you always an archer underneath it all?

[tacit crystal]

6x backstab multiplier and 6x stagger multiplier of secondary kick equals 36x stagger multiplier.

[tiny tiger]

Beat fader day 303

[pliant hatch]

I don't think I'll manage to do that considering I haven't even finished building my base at day 440 + 😄

[tiny tiger]

Not really sure what I think of it, I had my friend watching and he found it kinda underwhelming, berserker axes absolutely pulverised the boss in like 6 minutes

[cosmic igloo]

jesus u must be quite bored to do that lmfao

[tiny tiger]

I will say my favourite boss fight has been Queen so far

[cosmic igloo]

gl tho

[cosmic igloo]

have u fought fader?

[tiny tiger]

my base is still not close to being finished either lol but at this point I’m thinking I wanna take everything I’ve learned with building and start a new base on the east side of the world which I’ve not even explrowd

[tacit crystal]

#valheim-chat message

[cosmic igloo]

ah

[tiny tiger]

Yeah fought him today

[nimble moss]

But staggered enemies only take 2x dmg ever?

Or you mean how much stagger is applied? The wiki says stagger is based upon physical damage…?

Edit: oh right, I understand more now.

[cosmic igloo]

gj. hes my fav

[shy marlin]

queen - best boss imo

[tiny tiger]

I was kind of expecting him to put up more of a fight if I’m being honest

Queen fight was a solid fight that took over an in game day

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, the amount of stagger, not the damage you deal against staggered enemies.

[cosmic igloo]

ah rly, was opposite for me

what did u fight fader and queen with?

[tacit crystal]

Both Queen and Fader are really nice bosses to fight.

[tiny tiger]

Frostner and himminafl vs queen, thundering berserkir axes vs fader

[cosmic igloo]

ya queen boss room is goated

[tiny tiger]

I think the problem is just how strong these axes are lol

300+ dps

[cosmic igloo]

true, did the axes break any?

[shy marlin]

Hope 1.0 removes the queen safe room

[tiny tiger]

The axes broke once

At like 20% health remaining or something like that

[cosmic igloo]

yea was same for me when i did fader first

[tiny tiger]

Maybe 30%

[gray sand]

Safe room? You mean your ability to just walk out the door and she can't follow you? 😁

[noble axle]

personally I hated the queen fight both times I did it, and loved fighting Fader 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

same

[noble axle]

yea lol

[shy marlin]

that too, however no boss portals fixes that issue

[tacit crystal]

I usually like to use Primal axes for boss fights. You can immobilize them too, which is useful.

[noble axle]

fader actually feels like a proper boss fight, having to shoot the guys he spawns with bows, the meteors, the atmosphere, etc etc while the queen is just kill seekers and seeker broods with bombs and for queen just dodge, swing, dodge swing, repeat

[tiny tiger]

I will say tho the fire did get me at one point, I underestimated just how much it could stack and was getting 30 damage a tick

[cosmic igloo]

💯 💯 💯 💯

[tiny tiger]

see the thing is I just locked onto fader the entire time and either his spikes or lightning killed the spawns

[gray sand]

Bosses not being CC immune hurts my soul.

[tiny tiger]

Queens boss room really makes her fight stand out because she has the toolkit to utilise it, spawning backups and burrowing away from the player

[shy marlin]

If u could cc bosses they'd be so easy lol

[gray sand]

You can root them.

Which means yes, you can CC them.

[shy marlin]

i mean i guess

[tacit crystal]

Yeah root is what I meant with immobilize.

[shy marlin]

when i think of cc i think more of being stunned but i guess root does count

[gray sand]

There are many forms of CC my fren.

[shy marlin]

root is more of a soft cc

[gray sand]

Soft CC is still CC.

[shy marlin]

yes

hard cc and soft cc are very different tho, example fader can still do many attacks while rooted

[gray sand]

Bosses should be fully immune to all CC imo 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

agreed

[winged dune]

Never cheated more in a game but valheim

[gray sand]

Age of Empires.

Cheated the hell out of that game 😄

[light moat]

CC? 🤔

[gray sand]

Crowd Control.

Term from MMOs, MOBAs, and pretty much any PvP title that has abilities.

Generally separated into Hard CC and Soft CC.
Where the defining line is "Hard CC denies two or more actions."
But not every game follows said definition.

[sinful fulcrum]

If I switch difficulty to get a 2 star tameable monster, when I go back to server settings and switch back to normal, will the tameable monster change ?

[gray sand]

No?

[sinful fulcrum]

just asking

[calm schooner]

we just missing the ocean and deep north updates? been awhile.

[gray sand]

Mainly the Deep North one.
Unsure what the scope of the ocean one even is, so not sure if it will be the same size as Ashlands/Deep North updates.

But yes.

[ancient agate]

Which difficulty slider increases starred monster chance? I thought they were just multipliers to damage of all monsters

[gray sand]

Difficuly slider does both.

[crisp rune]

Hey guys, how is the game playing alone? Thinking about buying the game but seen quite a few different places online say the game isn't very/as enjoyable solo

[sinful fulcrum]

nahhh man I want my askvin tier 2 and the first things I get are 2 star charred ☠️

[gray sand]

It changes damage numbers and increases starred chance.

And I very much hope they separate them into 2 slides so you can play on normal with more stars if you want to.

[gray sand]

Solo is the only way I have played this game for all the years it has been out.

[tacit crystal]

It's fun both ways: solo and coop with friends.

[crisp rune]

okay thanks both, I think i'll buy it as its on sale rn then give it a go once I'm over my stardew addiction phase I'm currently in haha

[gray sand]

I always forget how expensive this game is.

[lone cloak]

is anyone down to play some vallyhiem im still fairly new ?

[crisp rune]

50% off on steam rn, so may as well pull the trigger and give it a go when i have the time to fully invest into it

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

@lone cloak ☝️

[ornate stratus]

does anyone want to start a new server with me

[pliant hatch]

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

[ornate stratus]

oh thank you

[pliant hatch]

yw

[ancient agate]

My favorite is baiting them towards a tar pit, but sniping is second best by far

Do tamed animals attack neutral creatures normally? Like do wolves attack Dverger?

[pliant hatch]

Nope. They will only attack creatures that are hostile to the "player faction".

[sweet moon]

if anyone finds basic tasks neat to watch, I can stream my game of Val for yall to watch me build a road

[pliant hatch]

Is it me, or do 1 star Draugr archers look a lot like a woman?

[tepid prawn]

Ocean has not been confirmed to get a boss or a full biome update, also don't forget Ashlands patch updated the ocean near the Ashlands with a new monster and looks different and has other changes to normal ocean

[nimble moss]

@vocal rivet

Ok - did the science and checked some data:

Fermenter - 40 mins (not "2 in game days" that wiki says - that is wrong)
Honey - 20mins (wiki is correct)

Both ARE sped up by sleeping - which takes away the remainder of time during the night - i.e. if you slept at 4pm, you wake up at 6am, removing some time.

The wiki is also wrong for "Sleeping" - it says you can only sleep at night. It should say "afternoon" or "night". Edit: actually sleeping is referred to on two different wiki pages. The Environment page is correct, it is just the sleeping page that is wrong.

[weak cypress]

Honestly, wish they would add an ocean-based raid or two. Something on a boat to try to sink or kill you would be fun

[pearl drift]

~The Kraken raises and the winds stop

[weak cypress]

Still pretty easy, imo. Easy on solo, and even easier on multiplayer (unless you're on a raft)

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[vocal rivet]

At least people will stop asking now.

[tiny tiger]

Oo deep north already looking like the opposite of Ashland’s, you aren’t being swarmed with enemies upon landing

[tacit crystal]

Do they tho?

[royal bane]

Man, wild that valheim is almost done
Will be neat to see what the devs have planned next once they finally wrap up with valheim

I just hope they keep the lowpoly aesthetic, what ever they may do next

[wicked snow]

Kind of hard to believe, the game will be finished with the last expansion probably by the end of this year

[tiny tiger]

I mean it’s like old timers at a bar seeing new people coming in asking the same questions it’s a different guy each time but online since it’s just text on a screen people clump them all up into one category

There will always be people like that and not everyone checks every channel upon entry to a server

[rotund bay]

hoping we get balance patches together with 1.0 or right after

[vocal rivet]

Of course we will.

[nimble moss]

Valheim devs speed running their own game; she didn’t even land in a Drakker, just a longboat…

[tiny tiger]

they did mention dungeons in the recent blogpost too I wonder if that’s implying multiple types of dungeons or just one type of dungeon and there being multiple of them

[verbal pier]

Hopefully they do something about Ashlands too.

Will next game update be "1.0" including deep north or will there first be a separate deep north.

[gray sand]

Do what about the Ashlands?

[tiny tiger]

Do what about Ashland’s in particular? What do you think is needed to change

[gray sand]

They already nerfed it into being very easy.

[verbal pier]

Everything....

Its not just the difficulty level.

[tiny tiger]

‘Very easy’ lmao it’s the most challenging biome in the game

[royal bane]

I imagine there could still be maybe a small handful of post 1.0 updates for any smaller extra bonus content
Maybe possibly even some rebalancing and adjustments to the early game depending on how much they feel the later biomes have drifted from the original mechanics

[gray sand]

It's the most populated, that doesn't necessarily mean challenging.

[tiny tiger]

The devs have already stated they aren’t planning on redoing large parts of the game, Ashland’s is most likely not going to be changing much further from what it is now

it can be both?

[tepid prawn]

Ashlands is fire! don't need change

[gray sand]

Just needs optimization given the sheer number of objects causing lag.

[verbal pier]

This is indeed the biggest problem. Its a long hack'n'slash fest. No calm periods.

[tiny tiger]

If you clear the spawners it’s not that bad, I have a huge radius around my base of operations and don’t get too many spawns

People wanted a conquer kinda thing where you conquer the biome and spawns drop and it’s like that in the game already when you get rid of the spawners it’s a lot more manageable

[gray sand]

Wanting a less populated Ashlands is like wanting a less misty Mistlands.

[crisp chasm]

Pun intended?!

[tepid prawn]

yes ofc!

[crisp chasm]

yeahhhhhhh

[tiny tiger]

I don’t think the biome would feel right without the hordes of enemies

[royal bane]

Yeah I don't expect much to change if they do do a passthrough on earlier content.
Honestly I think the most major difference was the introduction of magic based items, and considering the way skills work that's a steep loss of passive progression by that point in game if you want to switch to the magic based gear

[tiny tiger]

The thing is magic starts pretty strong to begin with and the skills just further increase its power

With melee your biggest bump in damage for most of the game is the weapon progression

[severe relic]

Will they finally be adding a glock with the deep north update?

[cosmic igloo]

did u agree w this? #suggestions message

ashlands is cool and its a big fighting pit yea thats cool but imo it feels like the zone gets robbed of it's story a bit when they just spawn enemy units everywhere

like imagine in plains if u would just find tar blobs anywhere, instead of @ tar pits

[tiny tiger]

I didn’t vote either way I like the idea but thing it should be at least twitchers roaming the biome and charred units being concentrated in the village like areas and around the fortresses yeah

[cosmic igloo]

ok agree

and yea i didnt mean the charred warriors ONLY exist inside forts, thats why i said surrounding areas, maybe there can be small encampment ruins and some soldiers there

like u know theres random ruins everywhere

so ppl say "no more changes to ashlands pls" but thats a change id like to see personally

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I’ve decided to 👍 in that case and I
Hope something like that is done for deep north, having sub biome dependent spawns is more interesting than every mob everywhere like you mention in the suggestion

[scenic sequoia]

How do i get alot of rocks me and my friend and planning to build a castle

[thorny raft]

Mine?

[gray sand]

Mine copper.

[thorny raft]

U could just dig trenches tbh.

[gray sand]

Mining copper is better.

[thorny raft]

Mining silver helps too

[scenic sequoia]

Thx

[thorny raft]

Depends how far u are

[agile bobcat]

mine big and high rocks in plains, remove bottom of them and they will pop

or big stones around in nature - vein mod is helping here a lot

[gray sand]

Mine copper.

[nocturne wolf]

If deep north gets a fist weapon, its secondary backstab should be the highest stagger possible in one hit

[tepid prawn]

I hope every weapon type gets a final version

[vocal rivet]

It would be rude not to.

[tepid prawn]

agree, it was said at some time 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, if the stagger multiplier stays the same.

[nocturne wolf]

I believe flesh ripper secondary backstab is already the highest possible, with up to 2592 stagger at level 4

So imagine what something four biomes later could do

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, could that amount stagger a 2 star Morgen even?

Wasn't the stagger limit 40% of max health?

[nocturne wolf]

They're slash resistant so probably not
Morgen limit is 30%, player is 40%

[tacit crystal]

Ah right, forgot that part lol.

[nocturne wolf]

I think if you hold secondary attack and start with a backstab it may be possible to stunlock a 2-star fuling berserker but I need to test that

[tacit crystal]

Hmm probably.

[nocturne wolf]

It can stunlock him but you need luck with damage variance and the attacks he uses.

[tacit crystal]

Well, 2 star Berserker is not usually something many would approach with melee weapons at that state of progression.

[nocturne wolf]

I haven't actually used flesh rippers before but in testing now they seem better than other melee weapons I've tried against two-star fuling berserkers because of the short attack time and damage bonus on the second attack instead of the third

So maybe I'll be approaching them more often if I can get my hands on these on a normal character

[nimble moss]

i mucked around with it a bit today after seeing the 6x multiplier - part of the issue is the kick 'pushes' them back so much you lose attack time.

And the kick is a short range, and has other issues - that I found its good in theory, but the later mobs were "meh" for it

if you get them back to a wall - its ... ok/good. But it was just too situational for me to consider it OP

[tacit crystal]

Yeah they have quite fast attacks and every other hit dealing double damage is useful. They fare quite well in Ashlands too, surprisingly, as I stated how they can easily stagger warriors with the kick. Although parrying with them is not that viable.

[tacit crystal]

You can keep moving forward with WASD while keeping hitting, even sprint at the same time.

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe they'd go well with a staff of protection. The stamina cost is low so using eitr food won't be an issue

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, mages best melee friend?

[nocturne wolf]

80 knockback on the secondary is less than the primary of some weapons

[azure crag]

Which one is better blood magic or elemental magic in mistland periode?

[nocturne wolf]

Elemental damage kills enemies much better than skeletons but doing anything as a mage without staff of protection won't end well, so the only right answer is both

[azure crag]

Hummm. should i stick to sword or change to mage?

[nocturne wolf]

Using a combination of melee and magic can work well too. How would you prefer to fight enemies?

[azure crag]

I hate the seeker tbh

[nocturne wolf]

All seeker attack hitboxes don't reach very far up, and the seekers themselves are quite short. Jumping is incredibly effective against them.
Although mistlands doesn't always give much space for movement

[azure crag]

Idk that, but when seeker attack it give big knockback

[nocturne wolf]

The attacks using both claws at the same time have high knockback, but the others are actually quite low

[azure crag]

Deathcount in mistland>Meadows-Plains because of constant falling and high knockback from seeker

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe you need a feather cape then

[azure crag]

Another farming again

It's quiet depressing tbh constantly died because you need 15 black cores to craft 3 building when your equiptment still Plains haha

Btw thanks for advice

[pliant hatch]

Why don't you craft what you need with one station, demolish the station, build the next one and craft the required items again. Destroy it, build station #3, craft what you need and then go hunting for more cores?

You may be better prepared that way and the other cores will be easier to aquire too.

[fiery jacinth]

Deep North looking like a winter wonderland so far, at least from this little peek.

i'm going to cheat in christmas trees and wreaths anyways and build a cabin

[lapis pagoda]

Hey lads, i got an problem. how do i keep my self playing this game? Seriously, i had so much fun playing it, until damn swamp boss. I lost all fun fighting him (i didnt defeat him yet) and other stuff, i dont know what to do, also i had some mod problems which i solved but because of it i had to cut off over 3 hours of progress (I was just mostly walking around so nothing lost there)

[nocturne wolf]

What did you use against him? An iron mace works well

[lapis pagoda]

Yeah i have iron mace, but its just so fucking fun ruining experience to fight him

[nocturne wolf]

How so?

[lapis pagoda]

Well, other fucking enemies spawning around

[tiny tiger]

Did you clear the surrounding area of spawners

[nocturne wolf]

What armor, food and mead did you bring?

[lapis pagoda]

That one mead against poison
Iron armour
Well, the ones for both stamina and health

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent meat and stew are both good health food options, significantly stronger than anything else you can obtain at this stage

[cosmic igloo]

in case you didnt know, you dont need to kill bonemass. you can progress in another way

[lapis pagoda]

yeah no shit, but i aint fighting that damn serpent

[lapis pagoda]

huh, fym

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents are balanced to be fought with black forest equipment

[glossy dune]

Iron mace, poison resistance potions and ideally root armor and ure good to go

[cosmic igloo]

so bonemass drops an item thats like a scanner to find ore in the ground, but u can use the deer 2h hammer and smash into the ground and it will say basically if theres an ore there. i dont even think i killed bonemass in my latest playthrough xD

[lapis pagoda]

deer 2h hammer?

[tiny tiger]

Yes

[cosmic igloo]

stagbreaker i think its called

and there's certain spots where those ores are more likely to spawn (i think) so its not as tough to find as u might think

[lapis pagoda]

stagbreaker can do that???

[cosmic igloo]

ya it says "too hard to break" or something when theres an ore underneath u

[lapis pagoda]

I mean, its still be hard to find ore

[cosmic igloo]

not as much as u'd think. its very viable

[tiny tiger]

Although I’m not sure it’s the best idea to send the lad on a mission to the mountains when he is being overwhelmed by bonemass and the surrounding swamp enemies

it can be difficult to get your items back from the mountain without adequate preparation

[cosmic igloo]

yea sure but im just saying if he doesnt wanna mess w bonemass then ya there u go

actually i dont remember a playthrough where i even killed bonemass before mountains, now that i think about it

[lapis pagoda]

You know, this game is an open world after all, so I will do what i want tbh

[cosmic igloo]

ya

this game allows u to progress in many ways kinda

[tiny tiger]

Getting the frostner can be a lot of help against bonemass you just gotta be extra careful up there

[lapis pagoda]

Fun is my first priority

[tiny tiger]

If you are gonna go up to the mountains make sure to stock up on frost resistance and leave frost resistance potions at home just in case

[lapis pagoda]

dont worry i know

[tiny tiger]

Does not killing bonemass prevent wolf raids?

[cosmic igloo]

so to find ore on mountain, just seek high spots. i think theres where i usually find ore

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass must be killed for wolf raids

[tiny tiger]

ooo ima need to try this on my next playthrough then lol

[cosmic igloo]

idk

[tiny tiger]

when we are both talking about wolf raids we do mean the you are being hunted one right?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, what else would a wolf raid be?

[vocal rivet]

That's the only wolf raid.

[tiny tiger]

I’m not sure if there’s any more and I know that one can happen anywhere in mountains or plains so it’s not like the typical raid

I’m getting flashbacks to my first hunt where I was in the middle of plains on a rock surrounded by lox and wolves and it was a nightmare

[cosmic igloo]

at least lox will fight wolves

[tiny tiger]

The wolves ended up overwhelming the loxes and killing me if I recall correctly

[glossy dune]

Iron Mace / Stagbreaker combo is BiS vs Bonemass

long fight but doable xD

[lapis pagoda]

I cooked over 100 sausages, damn

[foggy glacier]

Keep 10 wood and 24 stone on hand always when exploring. As soon as you see the raid notification, drop a workbench and raise the terrain under you for safety

[vocal rivet]

You can never have too many sausages.

[cosmic igloo]

careful about that, u switch to new food pretty fast

[frigid gust]

Sausages have enough health that they're decent "bulk" food IMO, stuff you eat to keep healing and have some stats that doesn't take more difficult to acquire resources. Eat it while building or farming, not adventuring 😉

[lapis pagoda]

eh, i just have shit ton of materials for them, i kinda dont care

[tiny tiger]

I mean what else are you gonna use those resources on too

[robust delta]

more sausages

[cosmic igloo]

i just remembered sausages are made with draugr entrails wtf ew

[robust delta]

look on the bright side. the draugers fermented the entrails already for us

[tacit crystal]

Entrails can be found in later biomes too, btw.

[robust delta]

everyone loves draugers

[nocturne wolf]

They kill too many necks

[lapis pagoda]

its still meat

I fw muckshake heavy

[opaque chasm]

Beat Modor for the first time, no deaths. Piss off you bad dragon!

[vocal rivet]

She's only defending her children. You meany.

[opal prairie]

She's trying to roast you to feed to her children that you just brought back to her.
She should be thanking you instead.

[opaque chasm]

Don’t care this was personal. Her little drakes kept harassing me while I was building my mountain fortress.

But she was definitely easier than the bone mass fight.

[stuck dome]

bonemass fight has always been kind of a joke though

use a hoe to build a big ass platform
smash ground with stagbreaker
rinse and repeat

[merry pebble]

Of course if you are cheezing it it is a joke...

[stuck dome]

the method came from the game
it's not my problem

[merry pebble]

Indeed, but before telling other people that the fight is easy just because you are abusing the game mechanics you should at least know if they want to do it/did it that way. 🙂

[stuck dome]

any method that gets it done is the right way

[merry pebble]

I am not saying its the wrong way 😉

[stuck dome]

cheating is the gift man gives himself

i mean you could just solve my method by making it so you can't change the terrain around the bossfight like they do with the standing stones

[merry pebble]

Why?

[opal prairie]

If he is found out, the woman will leave with 50% of everything he owns.

[stuck dome]

if

[stuck dome]

if it's cheese and it wasn't intended there would be something put in place to stop it

[merry pebble]

Why when most people will not do it?

[opal prairie]

It's one of the few ways to get some cheese in Valheim, let us keep it.

[merry pebble]

and its a singleplayer game, if you want to cheat/cheeze something no one is stoping you

[stuck dome]

don't mind me just using trolls to mine and break stuff ages before i've actually gotten any bronze

plenty of cheese everywhere

[opal prairie]

Yeah there is quite some cheese to go around.

[stuck dome]

infinite surtling cores and coal
use a hoe for precisely 3 seconds

[opal prairie]

I set up a portal chain to 14 of such geysers.

[stuck dome]

i'm not that motivated

dig hole and leave

[opal prairie]

Dig hole, put two portals down and leave trough one of them.

[cosmic igloo]

gigachad

[azure crag]

Yeah you're right, i'm lame because to mad because get constanly killed lol.

[vocal rivet]

Pretty sure that's not what they said.

[lapis pagoda]

I've found an damn jack of all trades big ass continent, it has plains, meadows, black forest, swamp and mountains, mountains have the most territory though

Hold on since when Muddy scrap piles spawn outside the sunken crypts?

[nocturne wolf]

They spawn underground in swamps and can be found by a wishbone

[opal prairie]

Since long before you discovered it. Either you randomly smack the ground to find them or use the wishbone.

[lapis pagoda]

yeah i know, but its my first time seeing them not underground

and WITHOUT wishbone, its just sticks out the earth

[merry pebble]

Sometimes they generate like that 🙂

[opal prairie]

That rarely happens but it can happen, like silver sticking out of the mountain.

[lapis pagoda]

Is it safe to build an house in black forest that is next to a mountains?

That black forest is quite peaceful, only one troll cave that is far from point where i want to build my house

[torn river]

I'd be more worried about the mountain. How close to that biome are you?

[opal prairie]

Certainly and you can easily build either a moat, earthen wall or both and spawn proof your camp to keep it safe.

[lapis pagoda]

I mean pretty far, you have to run there, im not building it too close

Its more closer to the shore

[chrome badge]

The way that teaser was worded makes me wonder if we get a final biome boss, as well as an endgame boss.

[lapis pagoda]

Final boss of Valheim will be Odin and we clap his booty cheeks

[chrome badge]

If we can beat Odin, he is just letting us win 😆

[lapis pagoda]

Freaky Odin

[nocturne wolf]

We’re working for Odin, not against him

[merry pebble]

Nah, the trope of "The one who sent you on a quest is actually the bad guy" it too overused and stupid, i really hope it will not be that way

[chrome badge]

Yeah I wouldn't enjoy that for many reasons

[opaque chasm]

What’s good time to beat Modor? I did it on day 146.

At this rate I’ll beat the game on day 292.

[cosmic summit]

I chop 3 oaks and get no acorns... 4th oak drops 4 acorns, odins beard! this game is stressin me out

[tacit crystal]

At any time you feel you're ready and prepared.

[chrome badge]

That's a relative question tbh, I would say day 300 for Moder is as good as 146.

[opaque chasm]

I feel that.

How often do you guys see Odin? I feel like he’s everywhere. I’ve seen him while sailing past swamps, I’ve seen him while chopping trees, I was once walking back to base and he spawns right in front of me. He even joined me while fishing.

[light moat]

Some sessions I see him like 5 times, then I won’t see him for another month haha

[glad schooner]

On our most recent 3 person server with veterans we got moder by day 90, but it was a struggle

Probably could have done day 80 but we failed hard the first time and had to prepare better

[opaque chasm]

Dang that’s fast. By day 100 I was fighting bonemass.

Gotta say first play through is super fun

[glad schooner]

Yeah most of the bosses were fought with 1 tier appropriate weapon and armor piece each. But this is the same group that decided to kill eikthyr with fists only, elder with torches only, bonemass with wooden clubs and moder with crude bows on one of our playthroughs

[rich ice]

I feel like those had to be some hilarious fights.

[glad schooner]

Elder was the most fun, moder was very tough. Had to rotate people back to base to keep making more arrows lol

[opaque chasm]

What arrows did you use?

[shy mantle]

boy do I love dying and losing the past 12 hours worth of skills

[merry pebble]

Dont die 😉

[shy mantle]

Man growths are insane tho. Once they stick you, you're basically dead

[merry pebble]

Try just walking to the side when they start shooting 🙂 and key is not to agrro too many of them at once

[opaque chasm]

Growths are the tar guys right?

[shy mantle]

Okay thanks, I'll keep that in mind

[hearty niche]

I don't usually gripe about news releases but that video was entirely too short! More adventures of Hervor please!

[shy mantle]

Can I place torches inside my lox enclosure, or does that scare them

[merry pebble]

If they are tamed it will be ok 🙂

[still crow]

Only when they're tamed

[shy mantle]

Okay thank

[opaque chasm]

So I gotta tame boars then I can bring them close to fire is what im getting

No wonder my boars weren’t taking.

[shy mantle]

They are frightened when near the fire

[nova garnet]

Whenever you want. I'm on day 180 because I took forever to find a main base and build it up. Plus I did 'side quests' and tamed two star boars, wolves, and grabbed some loxes. I even have barley and flax, but I JUST killed bonemass last night. You play how you like mate! Enjoy the game!

[nova garnet]

Frost arrows work well on them if that helps.

[nova garnet]

Yep. Boars are like greydorks. Afraid of fire.

[shy mantle]

Would lighting up my lox enclosure stop fulings spawning inside it? I currently have two lox inside, but fulings keep spawning inside everytime I portal over

[trail pelican]

it's not light based

[merry pebble]

They are probably the best arrows in game 🙂 but obsidian and needle work well too

[trail pelican]

it's being within the radius of the right objects that block spawning

so cover the area in campfires or workbenches

[foggy glacier]

You need to add base items to stop spawns

[nova garnet]

Also try finding an advantage point (like a big rock if there is one) best to deal with from a distance. Plus you can see them coming and go the opposite way if they aren't all dead by then.

[shy mantle]

Okay thanks

[trail pelican]

you can cover a campfire with a 45 degree roof so that the initial fire it starts with is smothered out, and the timer will still run 'burning' the wood fuel without the fire (and then once it hits zero you can remove the roof)--to stop lox from setting themselves on fire than in panic trampling everything including to the campfires

you can just use workbenches but IMO they're more visually 'cluttering', they're more expensive materials wise, and enemies automatically hostile to campfires the way they are to workbenches or most of the other spawn blocking objects

[nova garnet]

Try putting a ward down. Will despawn things and if they lox aren't tamed might take a while to destroy at least. But if they are in an enclosure do the ward on the wall.l, as wards float.

[torpid coral]

https://youtu.be/SnJevqpctoU?si=TapbHgwnBmyDNXhm

[tacit crystal]

Hmmm. I might start another deathless run, but this time bows only. So no melee except axe and pick for grinding and no magic.

[sly quail]

deep north looks insane from that trailer

[nova garnet]

Looks very pretty. I like the new real pine trees that bend cause of the snow.

[tacit crystal]

I like the vibes of it too.

[lapis pagoda]

Yall, imagine an solid land world. Like no ocean, only some rivers, just imagine whole ass world like this

[limpid vigil]

Wonder if the Bog Witch is a greydwarf or not

[merry pebble]

I believe she is, wiki says so too, but there was a debate on that some time ago

[lapis pagoda]

greydwarf that locked in

[gray sand]

She's a 3 star shaman 😉😏

[light moat]

Wonder what sins the bog witch committed to become a greydwarf 👀

[tacit crystal]

Witchcraft?

[tiny tiger]

Alchemical warfare

[light moat]

Loitering

[gray sand]

Definitely loitering.

[tacit crystal]

Trespassing?

[gray sand]

That's what the broom got caught for.

[light moat]

Broom has an assault charge 😭

[amber plinth]

hi

[merry pebble]

No it does not, all it did was defend itself 😄

[amber plinth]

this game is amazing, i used to play it with some friends, but they moved on, and so here i am

[gray sand]

Solo is better anyways.

[amber plinth]

i hope you are all having a good day

[amber plinth]

i certainly need to adopt that perspective 🙂

oh wow look at all the changes :3

[gray sand]

WhEn uPdAtE?

[amber plinth]

the soundtrack is amazing

[light moat]

Having a good day, glad to have you on the server

[paper roost]

evening guys

[amber plinth]

i'm glad to hear that 🦮

but there can never be too much dogg :

[lapis pagoda]

so, there is an drake helmet, does that mean when we wear it we become freaky like him?

[proper sundial]

can we have a hotfix patch for sound please ? xd ashlands music is brain scrambly

[amber plinth]

this game is scary alone

[merry pebble]

You wear it when you want to upgrade from the iron one 😉

[amber plinth]

i love that the deer sound is the same

[golden granite]

Honk honk

Mfers always running around anxiously

[golden granite]

Sadge. Such is the valheim life. I still have a friend I play with but it was very fun with another guy who moved on to marvel rivals...rip

[amber plinth]

if they don't play valheim with you

are they really even a friend?

[golden granite]

🥹

[amber plinth]

so what are greydwars

i was always under the impression they are tree spirits, or

[proper sundial]

asholes. worst mkobs in the game. why`?

I despise greydwarves more than any other mob in the game

[nocturne wolf]

Those are stone golems

[merry pebble]

Runestones that you can find in BF have lore for them 🙂 you can see all runestones here if you want https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Runestone

[amber plinth]

what were those mosquitos

[proper sundial]

sorta agree. they are strong contender on my nr 2 spot 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Only because of their attack hitboxes though

[merry pebble]

Annoying little buggers when you find them the first time 😄

[merry pebble]

Let me guess, cant jump over them xD

[proper sundial]

how about when theres a 50-50 chance they get out of parry stun in 0,1 seconds? 😄

[amber plinth]

i'm feeling cold

[stone whale]

do yall have any good mod apps for valheim?

[merry pebble]

That depends on which attack they do 🙂 for each variant of golem one of them is the long stun

[merry pebble]

Try asking in #mods-discussion 😄 folks there will surely know

[stone whale]

TYYY

[merry pebble]

Make fire 😄

[amber plinth]

i think vanilla has to be best, there's something beautiful about just experiencing the vibe

[proper sundial]

ha didnt know! I just figured they decide to not always take stun seriously and snatch 90% my hp instead

[nocturne wolf]

That’s not the issue, they’re just basically impossible to dodge without rolling

[amber plinth]

this was a good download i feel so much better than when i was playing civ 6

[stone whale]

i have tried that 15 times beat the game and got bored

[amber plinth]

gotta take some time off

goodness me, fifteen times that's insane

[merry pebble]

15 playthroughs will happen sooner than you would think xD

[amber plinth]

i doubt it, i work 6 days a week and study degree

i also like to build bases at the cost of progression so i'll probably build somewehere nice with a moat and stuff

and i want a pet serpent too

[lapis pagoda]

You want too much gng

[merry pebble]

If i may i would recommend looking at world modifiers 🙂 they can greatly help with gathering resources for example

[amber plinth]

wow thank you! raising the resource rate will probably make the grind go a bit quicker

i'll make the combat a bit harder to compensate

[fading dew]

how often do blog posts happen

[nocturne wolf]

Development blogs are usually released once every month

[gray sand]

🎶 Every single night
🎶 And every single day

[merry pebble]

Customize it any way you want 😄

[cosmic summit]

Can chickens walk through a shutter door?

[merry pebble]

Not unless its open

[gray sand]

What is a shutter door?

[cosmic summit]

But they fit through shutters when they're open?

[gray sand]

This game has shutters?

[merry pebble]

Didnt try it personally, but i think they could

[merry pebble]

Yes, wood shutters

[fading dew]

next episode better have more stuff in it then cuz im not tryna wait a month for another 30 seconds of ocean

[cosmic summit]

They're 4 wood, 2 bronze nails

[nocturne wolf]

Development takes time

[merry pebble]

We could also get no dev blogs 😉

[gray sand]

You mean Bronze Windows?

[amber plinth]

ocean is god tier

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wood_structures bottom of the page 😉

[gray sand]

Bronze Windows.

[merry pebble]

No thing named like that in Valheim 🙂

[paper roost]

cant be a window, since its shutter 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

You can use it to shut a window

[merry pebble]

Indeed 😄 thus making it shutter, not the window itself

[tacit crystal]

Nice, found maypole in my new world. I started my bow only challenge.

[regal spoke]

Well if it's open you can shut'er 😂

[gray sand]

🖐️ 🦵

[glad schooner]

Wooden lol

[amber plinth]

hope i don't see anything blue for a while

[merry pebble]

You dont like blueberries? 😭
||(btw for trolls the atgeir works wonders 😉 )||

[gray sand]

New activity while waiting for 1k ore to smelt: Jumping in place 😄

[amber plinth]

i can kill em they just scare me

[lapis pagoda]

tbh, we need windows in valheim, like actual glass

[gray sand]

Crystal.

[lapis pagoda]

Just imagine if we could just use shovel to get sand, and then we just smelt it

[lapis pagoda]

oh

i deadass never knew this existed

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Crystal_wall_1x1

[lapis pagoda]

yeah i just googled it

[fading dew]

yeah but the pictures in the dev blog honestly gave us more info than the video did

[paper roost]

but the video and story gave us the vibes

[fading dew]

fair enough

i do wonder what the dungeons are gonna be

i think it'd be really cool if they made more open dungeons for deep north since most of them have been relatively cramped

except for infested citadel and some frost caves

[nocturne wolf]

We didn't have any jump height buffs when the previous dungeons were designed so this one should hopefully give us more room for that reason

[paper roost]

my most favorite dungeons are frost caves-feel like each of them is original and kind of unpredictable

[golden granite]

The only thing stopping me from doing multiple play throughs is the swamp biome. FK that place

[nocturne wolf]

What's wrong with swamps

[misty cloak]

best ways to get flametal?

[gray sand]

[nocturne wolf]

A trollstav or catapult + explosive ammo can also work well

[misty cloak]

first real difficulty hike of the game lol

[nocturne wolf]

So after already playing through the game, why would it still be a problem?

[misty cloak]

gotcha, so the lava river towers 😭

[gray sand]

2 star skeleton inside confined burial mounds isn't a difficulty spike?

Ghosts, who have no attack animation, not a difficulty spike?

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls, stronger than the boss you just killed

[misty cloak]

i mean, i dont think ive ever been killed by a ghost, and compared to the swamp, no lol

very visible, very straightforward

swamps require the right gear, and the right tactics at first, also, the constant wet debuff

[nocturne wolf]

Wet isn't much of an issue if you're also rested

[gray sand]

I found the swamp to be very straightforward 🤷‍♂️

[misty cloak]

all this being said, i dont mind the swamps, my hate is still for the mists

[misty cloak]

-25%health regen and 15% stamina regen is a pretty substantial deal for most people, and the swamps have higher enemy density/quality

[ancient agate]

I do hate the wet, even if it was like 5 or 6 days of rain and 1-2 that weren't, I wish there was at least variety of weather there

[misty cloak]

Or a waterproof cloak that would make it so the rain wasn't an issue, but wading still was

[wintry valve]

I actually like the swamp

I dont know why. I like the vibe.

Also the enemies arent tricky. They moslty go straight toward you if they can.

[paper roost]

same

[tacit crystal]

Swamp is one of my favorites too.

[light moat]

Swamp is cool! But I think there’s a good case to be made that the difficulty spike from BF to Swamp is pretty… spikey 👀 I think that’s a good thing though. Sets the tone for the game and makes the player really learn how to prepare and why it’s important.

[warm sandal]

my my i have been working and then working some more and come back to +300 new messages 😄 how is a gal to keep up with that pace LOL

I like swamp combat but swamp environment is depressing 😄

[craggy niche]

I found that players that don't enjoy swamps or mountains also don't build bonfires

[warm sandal]

hm...that would be very neglecent to not do that... a bonfire is a vikings good friend 😄 I carry one through all swamp and mountain 😄

[craggy niche]

Or generally don't use the basic fire/resting mechanic

[warm sandal]

so very convenient when you dig at iron in a crypt and get rested from your bonfire outside...you can see when it goes back to resting that no enemy is near anymore 😄

also squitos are stupid they fly at you right through a bonfire ...RIP

and even in the swamp in my nomap run i can see the smoke of the fires that i have placed where i need to find my way..so i do carry some wood and stones to make visible waymarkers in the swamp (bonfires are a little expensive to use them all over the place to set the swamp ablaze)

[tiny tiger]

You know what you got a point coz swamp is one of my less enjoyed biomes and I pretty much only place like one bonfire a world lol

It’s not even a bad biome per say I just like to get the first three biomes over and done with as quickly as possible

Going back to the swamps post mountains gear is an enjoyable experience tho

[warm sandal]

LOL i usually rush only meadows and forest to get to the swamp and with that to iron 😄

[craggy niche]

Smoke particles also visible through mist/fog. Looks like bubbles. Great for signaling in no map.

[warm sandal]

yeah... using fires to mark the way is more helpful than signs and posts... you can see them further (withs swamp being so dark and dreary i could not even see my wooden posts and arrows until i stood r ight next to them)

also i love throwing surtling cores into bonfires... fireworks... very pretty (no need to signal - i play solo- just for the fun of pretty)

[tiny tiger]

Does it fill the bonfire as well like wood or just for firework effect?

[warm sandal]

just the fireworks effect.

if you got a surplus like me (2 wooden boxes full) it makes a very nice way of loosing some

[tiny tiger]

Nice way to celebrate a boss fight tbh

[craggy niche]

Nice way to fight a boss too

[warm sandal]

or a tricky situation survived...just for the celebration of being alive still 😄

[spare patio]

Valhiem: Nuke update

[warm sandal]

i use bonfires to fight moder...have er crawl over one then hit her in the face with a spear while she is burning 😄

i just wish dem DEVs would add a bit of variation to the fireworks... could be rng blue green red purple or somthing... 😄

[craggy niche]

New starting area: awaken in an underground vault dungeon that exits straight into post-ashlands wastes.

[warm sandal]

why do i think of fallout all of the sudden? 😄

[paper roost]

there are more types of fireworks

[warm sandal]

yeah... but the surtling coree in bonfire gives only one color everytime you do it... 😄

[cosmic summit]

I love the personnel chest, it's so compact and convenient. I've been putting one in every room/building and stocking it with resin to relight my sconces

[warm sandal]

mine hold the neclaces and left over boss items : D

christmas parcels make for nice "put some seldom found things in" too 😄

[craggy niche]

I'm surprised that treasure chests and piles of gold don't add to comfort

[tiny tiger]

Being rich makes people paranoid anxious that they will lose it

[warm sandal]

because it is not comfy to sit on a pile of gold i think 😄 more comfy sit on a throne 😄

[tiny tiger]

I can test that theory for you if you want I’ll just need the gold delivered

[warm sandal]

being rich in valheim means i can go on shopping sprees with the traders and that makes me happy 😄

[tiny tiger]

The once in a lifetime fire pit purchase where you buy enough to never have to sail back

[warm sandal]

lol.. i play with open portals mostly so i can go buy stuff as much as I want 😄

[craggy niche]

That hits hard with the no portal life

[misty cloak]

`6 fuling villages with no totems, urg

[tiny tiger]

Hella blackmetal and gold at least

[warm sandal]

I feel you in my current run with cassandra i only obtained 7 totems in total that is about 10 less than i would want... I like to put them Teddybears up around the base..they glow pink 😄

[craggy niche]

Are the totems intended to represent Yagluth? ...as a teddy bear?
