Wooden construction hammer

[foggy glacier]

pine log?

[lapis pagoda]

tf is dragon egg

[vocal rivet]

It's an egg for a dragon.

[lapis pagoda]

can i cook it?

[foggy glacier]

nope.

[vocal rivet]

No.

[foggy glacier]

Mark the location, you'll need it.

[lapis pagoda]

sad

[craggy niche]

You can smash it ||at an altar||

[lapis pagoda]

huh, i just threw it off the mountain

[foggy glacier]

lol

[noble axle]

yeah if ur overweight with the egg u can do that

[foggy glacier]

you're in the mountains and haven't figured out that there's a use for everything you can pick up?

[craggy niche]

Egg yeets surprisingly far for 200 kg

[pliant hatch]

Good thing for you it repawns over time.
You can use the one you threw down the mountain as decoration for you home.

[lapis pagoda]

tf is frost caves

[vocal rivet]

Why you throw ANY resource away without knowing what it's for?

[vocal rivet]

Caves that are frosty.

[lapis pagoda]

trve

[craggy niche]

Walking around Ashlands with fewer inventory slots than random things on the floor

[foggy glacier]

leave some meads at home. You don't need them all.

[vocal rivet]

There's plenty of inventory space for Ashlands.

[craggy niche]

No map, no portal. There is no home.

[lapis pagoda]

how big are silver veins btw?

[noble axle]

massive

[lapis pagoda]

you know what else is massive

[sour furnace]

Slightly smaller than copper

[noble axle]

😄

[lapis pagoda]

low taper fade

[sour furnace]

No don't do it

NOOOOO

[lapis pagoda]

tbh i fucking love mountains

i want base here

holy shit that silver vein is actually massive

btw how much eggs i need for morder?

or what the dragon bitch name was

[vocal rivet]

Her name is Moder.

And 3. Though it can be fun to find things out for yourself.

[lapis pagoda]

oh, i already found like three of them

nice

[noble axle]

ye same

[primal pebble]

I type "spawn skull1", i misplaced it a bit, i type "forcedelete skull1" and all the structures around it also get deleted and i need to rebuild them. anyone know how to only delte the skull?

[opaque chasm]

How many stake walls long and wide should I make a base to help contain everything I need, every time I think I’ve built a large enough base I get new tech and either have to renovate the whole base or move entirely. I’ve gotten the plains tech so I think I’m ready to build my final large base.

[gray sand]

There is no way to answer that.

You just have to start building and put the wall up when you're done.

[cosmic summit]

Is it a bad idea to build a portal hub far away from your main base?

[gray sand]

Your world.
You are the sole person who decides what is and is not bad.

[cosmic summit]

I have portals all around my base to get around quicker. The spot i want to build a hub is on top of a mountain on another continent

[nimble moss]

yeah - i noticed that too - kinda weird this close...

[cosmic summit]

I'm just wondering if being so far away would mess with load times

[pliant hatch]

If you're at plains, you will get two more work stations with their additional upgrades.
So you may have to take that into consideration.

You might use the size of the forge with its upgrades for the space needed for each of those two work stations to get somewhat of an impression.
There's also a new crafting machine that requires not that much space, but you still want it a bit out of the way as it destroys lots of items. Good thing the moment you are able to get that machine, you also will get a new building material.

As for other tech, having the windmill at a high point is useful. So you may consider to put it on a wall or a tower in your walls.

[nimble moss]

no negative other than the ability to teleport metal there (unless you know what you know)

[cosmic summit]

I already have a stone cutter and forge there. I'm not planning anything that would require more metal

[foggy glacier]

I always end up overbuilding the size of each of my bases. As I move forward, I clear out the old bases and put up portals. It's a bit of a daisy chain sometimes but it works for me.

[nimble moss]

from a performance point of view - no issue really.

Ultimately if you WANT to do it - do it. Its a game, have fun.

[lapis pagoda]

My whole fucking day i spent on Valheim, jeez, my brain hurts a little

[weak cypress]

So, gents. How much iron do you all think is enough?

[vocal rivet]

No such thing.

[gray sand]

You never stop needing iron.

[weak cypress]

Guess I never leave the swamp

Everything is crafted and fully upgraded (swamp tier). Was thinking of 2 or 3 full wood chests before moving on

[gray sand]

That is fine.

[pliant hatch]

Oh you will.

About 3 biomes later you got the chance to find lots of iron again.
And copper too.

[weak cypress]

I've been to the mistlands on an old world (with friends). Not as nice as raiding crypts, imo

For ore production, that is

[pliant hatch]

You'd be surprised about what you find when you destroy the bridges you occasionally find.
Most likely more iron as what you can think of when you mine the old armor and weapon pieces you find scattered in the Mistlands.

[regal spoke]

Evenn gjall

[noble axle]

evening 🙂

[weak cypress]

More that mistlands travel is a PITA imo, especially when lugging around a ton of stuff

[tepid prawn]

it used to be, now you just need 2 trollfish and a bit of coin and you can lug around heavy stuff

[regal spoke]

I want to say, stamina management is the hardest thing about Mistlands

[vocal rivet]

Stamina management is such a big feature of the game, most players should be prepared for that by that point.

[gray sand]

Don't lugg a ton of stuff then? 🤔

[regal spoke]

You're not wrong. It is engrained at this point. The verticality is what throws off previous understanding.

Sincerely -a 2h 1s player

I'm fine in the mist at this point. But it was a problem for me early on

[prisma nebula]

[misty cloak]

Tbf, I think that learning to handle the unique difficulties of a zone should start as problematic, but then get simpler as you get better gear and supplies. My main issue remains the oppressiveness of the mist

[weak cypress]

Too bad. I lug all the iron

[gray sand]

Self-inflicted issue.

[weak cypress]

Also, no portals. All resources go to the boat. Extra self-inflicted

[misty cloak]

I wish we could make backpacks to alleviate inventory space issues

[gray sand]

Plz for the love of Odin never. Thank you devs. ❤️

[vocal rivet]

What space issues?

[regal spoke]

More inventory space was already given no? Inventory management is another acquired skill lol

[misty cloak]

Loot farming game, i wanna farm loot, sue me lol

Granted, it's mostly annoying if you have to pass through black forest

[regal spoke]

I dig it. But they could give us an inventory system like fallout. We would still find ourselves over weight

[misty cloak]

Greydwarves drop like, 10 different things lol

[vocal rivet]

But when do you want all of them?

[regal spoke]

We can turn off auto pickup and be more choosey on what we grab

[neon sphinx]

press v, default keybind for it

[white jetty]

The yagluth marker in the plains is in the stonehenge structures, right? I found one. Is the marker hidden for this one?

[neon sphinx]

oh sorry i thought you were asking how, ignore

[regal spoke]

The Stonehenge structures are where* we can find the vegvisir for Yag. Not a guarantee but a place to look

[white jetty]

ah

well shit luck then

[regal spoke]

You may find Yag altar quite often by sailing

[white jetty]

wish me luck

[hot bolt]

Just started Ashland’s. Is it worth building a base there or just farm mats and leave?

Okay. Struggling to build anything with constant attacks

[noble axle]

I used one of those grausten stone buildings as a mini base when I first got to Ashlands

[regal spoke]

Is it building or too many neighbors lol

[gray sand]

Turn raids off.

[regal spoke]

The largeish church looking structures or is there others

[noble axle]

yea the ones near ash trees and stuff

[regal spoke]

Do you set a wide earth wall perimeter or nah

[noble axle]

I didn't

but u can if u need to

[regal spoke]

Blobs are a concern. I haven't begun to build in the Ash yet.

[noble axle]

if they concern u, build earth walls everywhere then and make sure nothing can spawn inside ur base

[cosmic summit]

I put down two eggs to hatch and only got one chick. wtf

[regal spoke]

Is your fire exposed? Could one of the chicks stepped in the fire?

[cosmic summit]

no. the coop is built against the outside of the chimney

unless it clipped through the wall when it spawned. would a dead chick drop anything? i dont have any chicken meat in my inventory

[trail pelican]

yeah maybe it did clip, i could see that

would it have been able to get far if that happeend, or be killed?

[latent chasm]

Maybe it got close to the wall and somehow burned, probably possible lol

[trail pelican]

apparently according to the wiki the babies can drop feathers and/or chicken meat

but it's not a guaranteed drop of either

it's only a 50% on feathers, higher of the 2

[cosmic summit]

it might have been killed by a boar or neck

i had feathers in my inventory already and im not sure how many. i could have picked up the chicks drop without noticing

im too broke for another egg. guess im sailing to a sealed tower

[keen trench]

that's financially terrible, chikens clip a lot, had a farm in a troll cave (useless) and found chicken meat and feathers outside

[trail pelican]

it really do be financially devastating to lose early chickens

[keen trench]

yup, also after Bog Witch no more stacks of unused coins to be found in treasure rooms

[noble axle]

I have piles of unused coins in treasure rooms

[keen trench]

ok.. *less stacks of unused coins..

i must have hollow hands, as usual

[tepid prawn]

You didnt make enough of the new meads and feasts then 🙂

[keen trench]

...and ivy and very nice barrel storage, and of course multiple serving trays and sycthes, one for each base/cultivated patch, yes i have hollow hands

[tepid prawn]

since Bog Witch everyone is poor, or you are doing shopping wrong haha

[keen trench]

both eheh

[chrome badge]

Damn, my game actually froze for the first time ever while I was 2 seconds from safety in the ashlands, and I unfroze to a death screen

😭

[gray sand]

Freezing.
In the Ashlands.

Devs have a sense of humor 😏

[noble axle]

[nocturne wolf]

If you go to deep north before killing all previous bosses, it should freeze your screen because it’s too cold

[chrome badge]

Lmaoo seriously made me crack up

[gray sand]

No no.
Ashlands has freezing issues.

Deep North needs to have CPU/GPU heat issues.

[tacit crystal]

Heh, I was just minding my business for mining tin in my new run, then aggroed a boar. Then I noticed it was 2 star one, which changed my plans quickly. Now it is taming.

Also noticed this run will be quicker in bronze age since I don't need that much bronze for weapons.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[tacit crystal]

Also, cool thing I noticed - you can switch arrows while drawing a bow. Quite useful when I want to switch between fire arrows agains skellies and greydwarves and wood/flint arrows against everything else.

[keen trench]

yup, eats up two equipment slots but it's very useful in some situations

[tacit crystal]

Doesn't matter that much since I'm currently playing a bow challenge run.

[forest salmon]

hey, everybody! is there a dedicated channel where you can look for a teammate?

[tacit crystal]

You could try posting to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

[forest salmon]

thanks

[primal pebble]

I type "spawn skull1", i misplaced it a bit, i type "forcedelete skull1" and all the structures around it also get deleted and i need to rebuild them. anyone know how to only delte the skull?

[nocturne wolf]

Put the radius first, then skull1
For example, forcedelete 5 skull1

[primal pebble]

tysm

[fading monolith]

hi

[lapis pagoda]

Day 69 of my valheim world

splendid

[shy marlin]

Nice

[radiant pulsar]

I so wish Grausten wasn't so easy to get broke by every damn creature that comes into contact with it 🙄

Or I wish I could ignore the litter lol

[summer hinge]

Next step is then day 42069. Which if you hit, I'll be proper impressed.

[vocal rivet]

I wonder what day Smiffe's pre EA world is on.

[fierce sky]

what should i do now that ive reached plains and got lox cape, full padded gear,black metal sword,black metal heavy shield, lots of food

[merry pebble]

Go kill plains boss 🙂

[vocal rivet]

I'd hazard a guess the same thing you've done for the last 5 biomes.

[tacit crystal]

Or find the altar if you haven't.

[vocal rivet]

Harder than the fight to be honest.

[merry pebble]

True that

[light moat]

@merry pebble How’s your playthrough going? We’ve been diving deeper into the Mistlands, had a little detour and discovered Hildir while raiding fuling camps. Mined a ton of black marble, about to get started on my new build!

[merry pebble]

Hopefully will finish the damned portal hub today. XD Then i have to go look for Yag myslef 😄

[late prism]

hello guys

hows everyones day going

[opal prairie]

Feels slower.

[late prism]

facts

[opal prairie]

My mind knows it is getting close to 8h at work but it certainly feels as double that.

[opal prairie]

Most days it isn't as bad but today was a pita.

[fair cairn]

IT work in my little city is absolutely atrocious
a tonne of work
little pay
overtime
but no overtime pay if you ahvent been doing IT for years

[limpid smelt]

as a new player to the mistlands....i really wish there was a way to upgrade my whisplight that i attach to me 👉 👈 🥺

something that increases the range of the clearing it provides or something lol*

[near furnace]

🤔

[near furnace]

sadly there is no such upgrades

[nocturne wolf]

You can use wisp torches to clear out more mist

[fair cairn]

i got raised with tv english from british and american shows, then went to school, my spelling of words is either British or American, sometimes with a hint of dyslexia mixed in

[nocturne wolf]

@limpid smelt ♻️ means it’s been asked before, don’t suggest it

[limpid smelt]

yeah i get that i just want to be able to run around more without panic for the noises in what i can't see lol 😅

but i guess that is the challenge eh?

[nocturne wolf]

That torch isn’t a build piece though

[near furnace]

did you ask for a carryable wisp light?

or just a range extension? 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker is close enough?

[merry pebble]

That is what mistlands was intended to do i believe 😄

[limpid smelt]

fair enough! i shall be brave. i am a viking after all 😉

[azure yacht]

You are meant to use the wisp torches as a way to create paths to wherever you need to go

I'm sure some people will argue that "but using them to clear ALL mist is so time-consuming and inefficient" but as I said, you're not supposed to.

[tacit crystal]

Nah, no Wisplight to helmet slot. That would lower defences quite much.

[nocturne wolf]

What would be the point of mist in mistlands if we could see everything there?

If the wisplight is on your head like a circlet you also won’t be able to see anything to your sides or back

[merry pebble]

The wisplight is great as is, and if you think it moves around too much and not in the direction you are going in then YOU are not going in defined direction but moving around, since wisplight rushes in front of you when you go somewhere...

[tacit crystal]

There is now Troll Endurance mead if carrying capacity is needed.

[fair cairn]

what abouta lantern fish style helmet

[merry pebble]

#valheim-help message

[tacit crystal]

You can carry more than one of that particular mead.

[warped grail]

does anyone know a dedicated discord server to find LFG for this game? I don't exactly see a channel set for it, unless I'm just blind.

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[warped grail]

i can't read ty

[limpid smelt]

i didn't mean to stir up trouble lol 😅 im not a very brave viking so the mists scare me lmao

[merry pebble]

Oh dont worry 😄 You didnt really

[inner copper]

How many of you play without Raids? I'm undecided on how much they add to the game... Anyone know if I can toggle those on/off in the same seed/game file?

[merry pebble]

Just before you start your world go into world modifiers and you can turn them off there if you want 🙂

[inner copper]

Dedicated server though - I run it on an Unraid server next to my desk

So I guess it's in a config file somewhere? Good to know I can toggle raids though. I assume that would mean I'd have to shut the server off and boot it back up again though

[merry pebble]

Ah, then guys in #dedicated-server might know 🤔 but it should be possible i think

[inner copper]

Thanks 🙂 Yeah, I'll figure the rest out. I just wanted to know if it was set at time of seed creation, or if it was toggleable. You answered that, so I appreciate it

[tiny tiger]

Yeah world modifiers are separate from world seed in this game, a server reset will be necessary

Having world modifiers that are tied to the seed like generating continents etc would be cool tho

[inner copper]

My only other thing to figure out is how to limit the damage from future updates. I can avoid the north until 1.0 drops, but I can't control other players. And if there's more mini-updates that add more content to existing biomes, it's frustrating to lose that in explored areas 😦

This is intended to be a long term seed, I want to go mapless, and dial up resource generation, so it's more of a passive creative mode. Not willing to wait til 1.0 though 😛

[tiny tiger]

It is possibly to regenerate chunks with commands although I’m not 100% on whether that’s part of the game or part of a mod there’s a guy called jpvalheim on YouTube that has many videos regarding server management in this game

[inner copper]

There is a mod for that, yeah. You reset zones with commands in the in-game terminal. Not sure how it works on the overworld, but I intend to use it to reset caves, etc

Not for myself, but so new players can explore near spawn without finding out I've consumed everything like a swarm of locusts 😛

[tiny tiger]

With how far away deep north is it is likely you may feel a reboot of the server would be best especially since from what I understand there is a chance they will also be touching up other aspects of the game pre 1.0 or as part of 1.0

[inner copper]

That's exactly what I'm wrestling with, yup

[tiny tiger]

Best to just enjoy the now and deal with the future of the game when it arrives, don’t worry too much lol

[inner copper]

Who are you, my therapist?! 😠 haha

(Yes, over-analyzing is what I do best 😉 )

[regal spoke]

I'm just gonna trust the update/s won't screw anything up. If they do. I enjoy starting over anyways.

For now, I'm following the advice to keep a wide birth of the DN. If we don't expose dn from the fog. We should be good

[merry pebble]

Should be pretty much the same as with ashlands 🙂

[regal spoke]

Exactly. I started fresh with Ashland's tbf.

[keen sequoia]

is there a point in having a regular forge in a crafting room when u have a black forge?

[noble axle]

less moving to craft stuff? idk up to u where u place forge but u also need room for upgrades

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need it to repair your pickaxe

[keen sequoia]

ah. thanks

[tiny tiger]

Pretty much all crafting stations remain relevant from when you get them

[keen sequoia]

was also messing around with hammer mode and nocost, realised nocost put every recipe in every bench so thought black forge and forge had the same recipes lull

[tiny tiger]

The only one I’d say maybe doesn’t is cooking station the sticks one (iron cooking station upgrade) and possibly artisan table (could use a few times and then basically never again)

[keen sequoia]

true. currently tryna design a crafting basement in this fortress thing im trying to build and im seeing how big the build gotta be to fit the crafting upgrades, i dont like hiding them away just to upgrade it looks better with them around

[tiny tiger]

Yeah the forge takes up a lot of space for sure there’s no wrong way to do it but I would recommend having your forges on the side closer to your smeltery

[keen sequoia]

smelters i think ill keep seperate but ill have material storage closer

[solar pasture]

an assault or attack to my base, it depends on the boss that I go to, because I explore plains and mistlans.

these places by chance, while looking for a swamp ._.

[wraith lark]

um what do i do if there a group of sekly at the entrains of a cave

[vital umbra]

sekly

may i ask what the hell is even that

[wraith lark]

skeleton

[cosmic igloo]

either rush into the dungeon or kill them. use trees to avoid archers if u need

clubs work good vs skeletons

[wraith lark]

first time in a cave so, bty there in the cave blocking

[cosmic igloo]

bty there in the cave blocking? what u mean

[amber plinth]

go out there and bone those skellingtons

[wraith lark]

oh i cant send a vid but i kill one but need to heal

[amber plinth]

are you eating 3 types of food?

[wraith lark]

omg 1 hp and yes

[amber plinth]

are you using a club

[wraith lark]

yes

[amber plinth]

are you playing on hardest difficulty

[gray sand]

Are you intentionally being hit by damage that you could otherwise block or dodge?

[wraith lark]

first world and i think normal

[amber plinth]

skeletons telegraph their moves, if you're struggling with them you might need to lower the difficulty

[wraith lark]

if i can i will sent a vid but this chat wont let me send

[amber plinth]

at least until you become confident 🙂

[gray sand]

Out of curiosity, what are your 3 foods?

[amber plinth]

raspberries, honey and blueberry

[gray sand]

Problem A located.

[amber plinth]

honey is a king food for kings

[wraith lark]

all meat

[gray sand]

Don't run all meat either.

[amber plinth]

i eat all meat what's wrong with all meat

i have a neck meat, a dear and a boar meet

[nocturne wolf]

You need stamina for things too, it’s best to have at least one stamina and one health food

[amber plinth]

what kind of stam foods can i build in meadows pre-copper

[gray sand]

HHS is the recommendation for the general populace.

[nocturne wolf]

Honey, raspberries, yellow mushrooms (not meadows but it is pre copper)…

[plush umbra]

ayyyy, another honey eater~

[gray sand]

WINTERRRR

[amber plinth]

if you're not eating honey you're not earning money

[tacit crystal]

If you have low stamina you end up in situations when you don't have enough stamina for dodging/blocking/parrying, which ends up failing at them and dying because getting staggered.

[gray sand]

CHECK YOUR MESSAGES 😭

[plush umbra]

hmm?

[nocturne wolf]

So why are you eating three meats? Go eat some honey!

[amber plinth]

are those really superior to meats?

[plush umbra]

oh gosh yea sorry, been a busy few days and i'm bad at checking dms ´v`"

[amber plinth]

i ate all my honey and bees are rare

can't find no bees, no honey to spare

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[amber plinth]

are you suggesting the carnivore diet is sub-optimal?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[nocturne wolf]

Meats and plants together are best

I usually use two stamina and one health, but because of the new feasts I’ve been trying a balance of both

[tacit crystal]

Been another honey eater during my bow only challenge I started few days ago lol.

[plush umbra]

yea i keep that on my diet til mistlands haha

[amber plinth]

that's brave - ohohooooooo... feasts?

[plush umbra]

free food with not-awful stats, better than putting work into something that's only slightly better

[nocturne wolf]

The bog witch sells ingredients that can be used to craft feasts - long lasting food with an equal amount of health and stamina

[amber plinth]

is she hot though

[nocturne wolf]

Standing next to a cauldron all day probably gets quite warm

[amber plinth]

cookin up some love in the forest

[tacit crystal]

Well, you know what works the best for you. 😄

[nocturne wolf]

She sells potions for that

[amber plinth]

she does look good tbf

or maybe it's because i'm lost in the afterworld

and they made a board game of valheim

[wraith lark]

what the purple mist in the caves

[amber plinth]

purple mist

[wraith lark]

yes

is that like a swawner

[amber plinth]

i don't think so there's just ghost

you have ghost and sir skellington in those places

[wraith lark]

so this is a higher dunge (behind a door so)

[amber plinth]

i don't know

[merry pebble]

You are in the dungeon with skeletons in black forest right?

[wraith lark]

yes

#memes-and-clips message

[merry pebble]

Then unless there are only 1 star skeletons it is not the "higher" dungeon 🙂
Ah, that is a spawner for skeletons 😄 just go and destroy it

[sharp bluff]

the higher dungeon also has a LOT of fire

[wraith lark]

yay i clear the dungeon

[merry pebble]

and torches at the enterence 🙂

[random smelt]

Guys if i die , saves the game and log out , will my stuff stay where i died ? So i can get them another time ?

[sharp bluff]

ye

[nocturne wolf]

If the game has saved you’re safe to leave, but if you quit immediately after dying it might not save, so don’t do that.

[random smelt]

Ohh ok , thx bro

[fair cairn]

id rather get my stuff back before i save and quit, i dont trust my stuff would still be there upon rejoining

[random smelt]

Dude a skeleton killed me in a cave and i cant get it back , lol

[nocturne wolf]

You can roll to negate damage from almost all attacks

[wraith lark]

that happen to me 20 min ago just wait for them to go back to there points

[fair cairn]

was it a green glowy skeleton?

[random smelt]

Noo the regular one

[random smelt]

Alright 👍🏽

[fair cairn]

in that case you could make wood weapons rather easily and carefully take him out with rolling

also skeletons dont like blunt weapons

[random smelt]

Yeah , it was a narrow path i couldn't move that much

[tepid mauve]

Hi if someone have problem to join private server, like me?

or this is only my problem maybe with Internet, dont know.

[cobalt canyon]

*By default, keybind settings do exist

[cosmic igloo]

thank god finally found turnip seeds

thats always such a timesink for me

[cobalt canyon]

And with them, the key to ultimate power

[cosmic igloo]

tfw you have to farm more finewood. is there a worse feeling?

[vocal rivet]

Iron. Always iron.

[fair cairn]

firewood is pretty easy though at some stage you start farming coal instead of wood
but iron is always a thing thats not nearly as easy as wood or coal

[tacit crystal]

It's much easier if you plant all those acorns and birch tree seeds gathered during the journey and chop them all at once when they grow.

[light moat]

I only recently learned that on average, oak trees drop enough acorns to farm them 🤔

[noble axle]

It's easier if u just get a bunch of Elders in a forest to chop down all the trees for you 😄

[tacit crystal]

Speaking of Elder, he is now defeated in my bow run world. Honestly I think he is much easier with melee than ranged. 😅

[regal spoke]

Improved draw speed from leveled bow skill would help a lot Id guess

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, 43 bow skill lvl currently. And fire arrows did quick work on him.

Now onto searching swamps. I have 2 star boars tamed and bred plus nice amount of carrots harvested already.

[cosmic igloo]

oh shit ive never heard of using elder to chop trees

[tacit crystal]

His ranged attacks have quite a lot of pickaxe/chop power.

You could make him mine copper for you even.

[amber plinth]

just gotta commune with the trees to get to the entwives

[gray sand]

Copper mining 💛

[cosmic igloo]

i just assume you use his stomp, no?

[tacit crystal]

When he shoots sprouts out of his hands, that I meant.

[cosmic igloo]

yea i know but idk if thats worth using

[cobalt canyon]

also a fair block trainer

[cosmic igloo]

yea good dummy overall, i use him to train weaps for ashlands

[tacit crystal]

You know what are good dummies? Bunch of tamed 2 star asksvins.

[cosmic igloo]

never tamed anything

[tacit crystal]

They have 2400 hp, which is quite many hits with low tier weapons.

[limpid vigil]

So why is crystal glass only able to be stacked sometimes

but other times not?

[cobalt canyon]

Can't be stacked on itself I believe, but it can be attached to other build pieces that aren't crystal to support it

[tacit crystal]

Bingo! 2 turnip seed flowers right away in first swamp. 👏

[cosmic igloo]

gz

[cobalt canyon]

Everyone is all about the turnips today

[cosmic igloo]

bingo, went afk and came back to ground is shaking

[cobalt canyon]

Free armor

[cosmic igloo]

free base reset

[tacit crystal]

New run, so yeah.

[regal spoke]

You grinded your level a bit. Camping in the swamp or neighboring biome?

[lofty valley]

whoever made yagluths boss music deserves a raise holy shit this is my first time hearing it!

[tacit crystal]

Well, this is my bow only challenge run. So I only use bow and arrows as my weapon.

[plush umbra]

whose trying to get a group and run it

[tacit crystal]

Wait until the next 2 bosses themes!

[lofty valley]

bro yagluth went hard

[tacit crystal]

I know. The next two also go hard.

[noble axle]

the next biome is just mid imo, however the one after that, omg! 😄

[spice tundra]

best weapon to use with tower shield in swamp? going for a heavy type build

[light moat]

Iron Mace 💪

[nocturne wolf]

Maces work well with tower shields because of the secondary attack’s high stagger

But please just don’t use a tower shield

[shy marlin]

drop the tower shield and go iron buckler lol

[spice tundra]

i want to try it out its my third playthrough

[tacit crystal]

Alongside with either axe or sword 💪 ||preferably a battleaxe ||

[spice tundra]

always went with sword and buckler just for parry

[sly quail]

sword is meta

[spice tundra]

dyrnwyn is my favorite

[shy marlin]

are we arriving at the weekly swords vs mace debate

[spice tundra]

is the tower shield really that bad?

[noble axle]

yes

[spice tundra]

why

[nocturne wolf]

I think it’s mainly because of the movement speed
I can live without parrying but not if I can’t move

[noble axle]

can't parry, very slow to walk around with

[spice tundra]

what about serpent scale shield?

[noble axle]

very good shield

[nocturne wolf]

Movespeed penalty also increases jump and roll costs

[shy marlin]

only tower shield that's kinda sorta worth the bother but not really is serpent shield

[noble axle]

I'd still rather use a buckler imo

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent scale shield vs Fader

[shy marlin]

While root harnesk and serpent shield resistances do stack root harnesk is more than enough pierce resist

[spice tundra]

im just going to use a banded shield im tired of using bucklers

[nocturne wolf]

You can’t take 0 damage with just the harnesk though

[nocturne wolf]

I always use banded shield, it looks so much nicer

[shy marlin]

Fader cannot outpace passive hp ticks in melee with the root harnesk and flametal armor + bonemass with 2hp1stam food lol

don't need serpent shield for anything

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass will only help against meteors if you already have the harnesk

[shy marlin]

Meteors are not melee attacks

[noble axle]

you can just outrun the meteors it is not hard

bonemass would prob help against the spike attack, which you can just outwalk 🤨

[shy marlin]

i think the spike attack is fire + chop + pickaxe tho

[nocturne wolf]

All of his physical damage except the meteors is pierce

[shy marlin]

1.0 should really nerf root harnesk ugh

[noble axle]

no it shouldn't

[shy marlin]

scared of actually having to worry about ranged attacks?

[noble axle]

yes 😨

[nocturne wolf]

Just make the ranged attackers worry about you instead

[noble axle]

all armor should be viable even in the last biome tbh

[nocturne wolf]

It is viable if you don’t get hit

[noble axle]

even if you do get hit

[shy marlin]

nah lol

[noble axle]

except rag and leather

[shy marlin]

it's vertical progression some stuff just gets lost, that's how it works

[noble axle]

well fenris should still be viable in DN, even if u do get hit

[shy marlin]

do you want the game to be super easy or

the whole point of fenris is move fast don't get hit

[nocturne wolf]

Use the staff of protection

[shy marlin]

Movement speed is armor, use it as such

[thorny raft]

Was There A Hotfix On Steam Recently Or Something?

[near furnace]

no

but steam "bumps" games sometimes with like 2-3-4-6Kb updates

[thorny raft]

Yeah The Server We Have Is Out Of Date Suddenly So I Figured There Was Something That Happened

[proper sundial]

nah root armor needs no nerf. just wear something else. I dont understand why anyone besides speedrunners would choose to wear it and not switch to more stylish options.

[shy marlin]

who's gonna tell him

[proper sundial]

I finished game in fenrir armor and melee guys hit WAY harder than any archers

[thorny raft]

Well Now U Got The Deep North To Look Forward To, lol.

[craggy niche]

2* ticks go brrr

[proper sundial]

I bet yall can survive deep N to owithout root

[thorny raft]

Probably Need The Wolf Cape Again Or Somethin New Maybe

[proper sundial]

literally block with your unarmed and ticks go bounce

[gray sand]

I can survive the game without pressing K.
Doesn't mean I am going to stop doing it. 😛

[proper sundial]

if you think root is op just dont use it is my point. no build omde is also op. your opton is not to use it lmao

[craggy niche]

I'm sure that you can block all day like having a root harnessk equipped

[weak cypress]

Honestly, the style fits the swamp

[proper sundial]

it does! and I like how it looks. I just expect players to not match it with fenris, ashland armor etc. pierce resist is not that game changing

[weak cypress]

Looks especially good paired with a basic deer cape. That said, wolf cape and feather cape don't go with it (prompting different armor come mountains)

[cosmic igloo]

preach. mods can u pin this pls

[regal spoke]

I like how feather cape looks with fenris armor

[craggy niche]

The issue is that root harnessk (and Fenris to an extent) are the only armors that scale with content.

Compare with generic +2 armor upgrades that require grinding at each biome.

In contrast, root harnessk offers -50% damage reduction in an entire physical damage class.

Anyone that understands an ounce of theorycraft or plays ARPG knows this is extremely desirable.

[shy marlin]

Ask armor (set bonus) will also scale with content but yea

[craggy niche]

Almost endgame at that point (currently endgame)

[shy marlin]

yea

but an effect like that in theory also scales with further content

just being pedantic idk

[regal spoke]

It's the buffs for me. Same reason I rock Ask armor and ashen cape. Despite not being peak drip

[craggy niche]

Harnessk is kind of god tier coming in at swamp biome

[regal spoke]

Absolutely

[proper sundial]

this is a non-issue and needs no nerf. What relevant damage in lategame is pierce? most stuff elemental and slash.

[shy marlin]

oh boy

[proper sundial]

if you finished game in root harnesk, good for you and im proud for you but if think you couldnt do it without root then thats a skill issue

[shy marlin]

Almost everything in ashlands does pierce, lots of things in mistlands do pierce, plains stuff does pierce

[regal spoke]

Seekers

[proper sundial]

at best some late game armors need buff

[regal spoke]

Queen does pierce

[craggy niche]

We don't need harnessk to beat the game currently. The problem is that trivializes otherwise hard content in each biome while other options do not.

[proper sundial]

yes then maybe give other amor better effects?

[regal spoke]

Makes mountain, plains, and mist that much easier

[shy marlin]

so you want the game to be trivialized?

[craggy niche]

Yes, we can nerf harnessk or buff other options for a sense of balance

[proper sundial]

so its more desireable to tree cosplayers like you

[regal spoke]

No it's the buffs bro

[regal spoke]

I'll always argue for buffs before nerfs

[proper sundial]

turn the combat to "peacefull" and go "no building costs" then your game is tirvialised. if you are not speedrunning then just choose to not equip this bush in lategame lmao. its not mandatory, its not substantial

[weak cypress]

Could also just buff the monsters that deal piercing after swamp

[proper sundial]

my fav biome is mist, i spend the most time there AND nothing in ashlands does scary pierce damage. My root stayed in the swamp

[craggy niche]

It doesn't work that way with multiplayer servers

People play different styles and we only get one set of options. If you play multiplayer, the trend is almost always equip root harnessk

[shy marlin]

better yet just type devcommands and god mode

[regal spoke]

Rivers of salt will flow. But you ain't wrong

[shy marlin]

What a line of thinking lol

[proper sundial]

i think this has opposite effect doesnt it? then root actually becomes mandatory

[shy marlin]

"just don't use the tools available to you in a game that's all about using the right tools for the right job"

[proper sundial]

skill issue

[shy marlin]

Brother

[regal spoke]

Going the route of dev commands is unproductive to the convo if keeping a buck

[proper sundial]

finished game in fenris. ashlands archers did chip damage compared to other mobs

[shy marlin]

And I've almost done the entire game hitless on very hard what's your point

[craggy niche]

Meanwhile, me taking shots from teleporting enemies and lagging arrows in multiplayer...

[proper sundial]

my point is dont wear root if you dont like it. its not mandatory

[craggy niche]

I agree with that, but I still don't think that makes it balanced

[shy marlin]

Nothing is mandatory in this game but there's still objectively good options that make the game easier, and in terms of balance when there's a dominant item that rules out all other items it should be nerfed

[regal spoke]

Need a better server or connection Toast. Some optimization would help ngl

[shy marlin]

If you cannot comprehend what makes root harnesk insane then idk

[proper sundial]

hitless very hard is the same as hitless very easy? a hit is a hit

[shy marlin]

not at all

Very hard has more starred enemies, faster enemies, you do less damage (which is very relevant)

[craggy niche]

Some servers/groups play better than others, but I accept the fact that I will take hits in multiplayer in general. Expecting anything else is likely unnecessary deaths.

[proper sundial]

who the f cares about root harnesk. i bet most people play other amros because of style and imemrsion

[regal spoke]

Nah it's not the pieces fault the next three biomes are pierce dominant

[proper sundial]

mountain too? or you mean mist and plains?

i do admit the spear fuhlings especially starred ones are a bit scary

[regal spoke]

And take more damage iirc

[craggy niche]

And enemies are more thicc

Tamed lox won't fit through normal doors anymore

[shy marlin]

size doesn't really matter tbh 😉

[proper sundial]

there are peopel who play shields, there are people who want their charakter to look cool. I bet my left buttcheek most peopel dont give a shit about root harnesk

its not like this game has pvp meta where people are abusing root harnesk build 😄 this is a non issue

[regal spoke]

I fact checked myself. I thought wolves fenris and ulv surely did pierce with their bites. Nope all slash damage. Golem does pierce. Still two biomes after mountain

[gray sand]

Drill Golem* does pierce.

[regal spoke]

I see. Just going off wiki. That makes sense

[gray sand]

Would be weird for giant club hands to do pierce 😄

[regal spoke]

How are boss fights or Ashland's in group fights

[proper sundial]

I agree that root is good. kinda cool that you can use it late game if you want but I will not agree that its op. It has its uses and it has its weaknesses. My party of 6 finished game while in new armor every biome. we had fun and ddint need to worry about pierce

[regal spoke]

Troll armor up to Mistlands is even viable

[craggy niche]

Ashlands in general is the worst offender for lag/desync. I subscribe to the policy of avoiding fights unless necessary (otherwise someone may need an escort to their grave).

[regal spoke]

I've been on servers like that

[proper sundial]

oh! can I answer! It was very cool utnil he did the first aoe attack. then it becoame sad:( this guys attacks need to be mroe enviroment friendly

[craggy niche]

We play nomap/noportals/hard, so less forgiving usually

There is another questionable balance issue with specific magical items, but that is a problem for another day

[proper sundial]

and whats the deal with bow giving 1,5 xp per shot while crossbow gives 1xp?? this thing shoots 8 times slower

i wish the leveling system was more balanced and reflected how much time you spend on the task/weapon

[regal spoke]

I been through the struggle. Hopefully it can better.

[craggy niche]

Fishing levels: am I a joke to you?

[regal spoke]

Enjoying no map? Been a while for me. Love it

[shy marlin]

Blood magic levels

[proper sundial]

our only cook who made food for 6 people had lwoer cooking skill than my swimming skill

[craggy niche]

I've been playing no map (modded before settings) for two years now, so I prefer it at this point. The minimap became extremely distracting.

New problems with Mistlands/Ashlands: the weather system is nonconducive to navigation. For example, Mistlands is almost always impossible to see skybox or Yggdrasil for orientation.

If playing single player on no map, need to play extra safe in Mistlands. If playing single player on no portals, need to play extra safe in Ashlands. Obvious reasons.

[regal spoke]

I got in the habit even in black forest of setting up nautilus stars/compass.

[vale holly]

maybe because it actually takes skill to aim the bow

[craggy niche]

Stars are hard for me to navigate with. I am not great at estimating their relative rotation to time.

[regal spoke]

The 🌚🌝 are equally useful as the world tree. Stars don't stand out enough

But having something built on the ground that maintains cardinal direction is huge

[craggy niche]

I believe the sun follows a 1-day cycle and the stars follow a 4-day cycle, so I need to track my days

[regal spoke]

I know sun rises and sets just south of tree. Moon is north of tree.

[craggy niche]

For stars, pick a constellation. Remember where it is in the sky. Wait 4 days. It should be back.

[regal spoke]

Oh that's cool

I didn't know they tracked

[craggy niche]

Blew my mind the first time I realized it. Took some screenshots over time to figure it out.

[regal spoke]

Brilliant

[proper sundial]

I dont think people miss with bow 50% more and that still wont account for the attack speed difference

[craggy niche]

The other issue with no map in new content is that Yggdrasil looks distorted at the poles (Ashlands and Deep North). Some people have issues navigating with it

It's similar to the issue of an IRL world map projections showing smol Antarctica (which is huge).

[regal spoke]

Have to learn to draw from what little can be made of the north and south facing branches. Hard at different angles.

[proper sundial]

how do you guys remember anything? do you draw a map irl?

[regal spoke]

Once in the Ashland's and Mist those references are typically gone anyway

Distance from tree or sun and moon

Some do draw their own maps

[sour furnace]

what workbench level do you need to make fenris armor?

[craggy niche]

Hammer compass for precision (and finding bosses)

[proper sundial]

what is a hammer compass

[regal spoke]

Good call out

[gray sand]

It's a hammer that only works on nails oriented to true north.

[regal spoke]

Using a build piece to maintain a cardinal direction. Then use it to gauge against relative position to the tree or other landmark

[proper sundial]

whats your fav piece? the cooking rack?

[craggy niche]

Buildings have a default orientation per session (login). For example, all boats face north. If you never rotate the buildings, you can determine north.

My personal tip is to use campfire. The two sticks in the middle of a campfire look like an arrow that defaults to point south.

[regal spoke]

45° wall piece

Any piece that has an end thats different enough works. Even the workbench has ends that looks a little different. Point towards a cardinal direction or the direction a vegvisir points you towards a boss

[craggy niche]

Dragon or raven head is a good substitute for the 45 wall piece too

[regal spoke]

I'll build a compass using this technique. Then place my vegvisir piece in the compass to make out what direction I'll be heading and keep track of my distance tree as I travel

[ancient agate]

Maybe it is intentionally obfuscated so as not to ruin it, but what ground structures maintain Cardinal Directions?

[craggy niche]

All

[regal spoke]

Dig into the ground. When your square with cardinal the lines in the ground will be* crisp

[proper sundial]

what if you get lost? is it possible to find spawn or time for new game?

[craggy niche]

Relog session to reset build rotations

[pulsar lotus]

im thinking of getting the game while it is 50% off, with the deep north being the 1.0 update, is it likely that the game leaves early access q2-q3 of this year?

[regal spoke]

Go to spawn and look up at tree. You'll know where to try and get to from there

[craggy niche]

Or do this

[gray sand]

No.

[shy marlin]

I wouldn't expect 1.0/deep north to come out in q2/q3 but that's purely speculation, no one knows

[craggy niche]

Alternatively, several POIs have fixed rotations IIRC

[regal spoke]

Moon and sun have consistent arc for sure

[craggy niche]

For example, towers almost always face north or south (entrance door)

[regal spoke]

The boat one is awesome for sure

[pulsar lotus]

is the 1.0 update supposed to be significantly larger than other biome additions?

[gray sand]

How could we possibly know that?

[regal spoke]

We are in sneak peak phase together Taacoo

[proper sundial]

i mean... probably not SIGNIFICANTLY larger innit? shoulda be a biome like ashlands or mists is what they seem to reflect

[regal spoke]

Good guess anyways right. I'm still blown away by how much the game offers for such a small space consumption

Other games would take 100gb or something

[regal spoke]

Id wager, you know Elder stone at spawn is north and the seal serves as a compass?

[craggy niche]

I look at the weird compass at the floor in the spawn area

Elder stone is probably easier to identify

Still, I don't stay long enough for it to matter

[regal spoke]

For sure. I get north from elder. Look at tree. Get to elder. Onward and outward lol

[craggy niche]

More advanced navigation while sailing through fog/storm: wind is locked to N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. If you track the wind changes over time, you should always know your direction even in fog/storm.

(I always get distracted by serpents to remember this)

[regal spoke]

😂

So wind stays in that sequence?

[craggy niche]

No, the wind locks to those angles like build pieces

The sequence is smooth though. For example, if it starts East, then it may shift SE or NE for half a day.

The wind rarely flip flops from E to W or N to S

You can verify by checking the weather report tool and watching the direction over a few days

[regal spoke]

The tool is a site or mod. I will pay more attention to wind. Doing so in map runs will make it even quicker to pickup on patterns

[craggy niche]

Example day one from the weather tool:

SW West NW SW SW / North North North NW West / NE NE NE NE East East

The smoothness in orientation is observable

[regal spoke]

Very cool. I need to get back into no map. Absolutely my favorite way to play.

I found the tool. This community is awesome

[craggy niche]

Oh I thought everyone knew about the site

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[regal spoke]

This user and bomber are legends to me

[restive jacinth]

In case someone is interested in a world that is ready to move in for a Black Forest level player, I shared a world: https://github.com/rtaylor777/Valheim-map
I built this while I was in the process of changing seeds after reaching the Black Forest level myself.

[sudden shore]

is there a sumary of whats new?

last timei played i just got magic and black metal and stuff

the firelands were still un developed

[sudden shore]

#1024264966712340510

[gray sand]

Game doesn't stop till you acquire Fishing Hat 😏

[noble axle]

^ you need to go to Deep North for that 😄

[limpid vigil]

Im bad with timezones when is Valcon or whatever it was named

The convention

[vocal rivet]

Who knows, ask them.

[thick token]

If Deep North is the end of the story and the general flow of the game, how will the game continue to be updated? In the stream, the devs say that something might be added from time to time.

[vocal rivet]

It won't.

[azure yacht]

Yes, bugfixing

[chrome badge]

Valcon is <t:1738425600:R>

[sinful fulcrum]

Just like boar runestones are there askvin ones?

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think so

[fossil vault]

Best wpn/wpns for Yag?

[merry pebble]

Silver sword, black metal sword and frostner

[hardy blaze]

rancid remains trophy rare?

[merry pebble]

It is, yeah

[hardy blaze]

LES GO

[pliant hatch]

Shame you don't have 3 arms or you could use them all together. 😄

[merry pebble]

Yeah, but then he would really stand no chance xD

[pliant hatch]

At least it would give a valid reason to yell: "Time to butcher the bone king! Chop chop!"

[tacit crystal]

Given how rarely they are found, their trophies are also rare.

[sinful fulcrum]

Silver dagger

If you hit the sneak attack the spirit DOT deletes his life

Assuming you hit the sneak attack

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll be dealing up to 216 spirit damage depending on your skill if you do a secondary backstab

Most of the damage is from the instant pierce/slash

[sinful fulcrum]

You forget that if you keep hitting him

You will keep the spirit damage

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t keep anything, it just adds the unticked damage to the new damage

The total damage is the same as it would be if you let the spirit run out first

[sinful fulcrum]

Hmmm

I am 92.5% it worked different

I saw a video of a guy deleting Yag with the dagger

[fossil vault]

In that order or no?

[merry pebble]

Pretty much, BM sword and Frostner is basically tie, but silver sword is the best 🙂

[fossil vault]

Aight , ty

So happy that i dont have to grind BM (i have a lot of silver that i didnt have a use for

[merry pebble]

For mistlands tho it would be best to have either Frostner or BM sword 🙂

[pliant hatch]

I think BM is the only metal you don't need to grind for, as it's basically delivered to you and can be picked up right at your feet.

[tacit crystal]

Few village raids and you have plentiful of black metal.

[torn ravine]

yoh

[sharp bluff]

frostner is difficult to evaluate
its dmg isnt THE highest but the cc is invaluable

[merry pebble]

I said it more because both are way more viable there than silver sword 🙂

[elder briar]

Parry master has joined the chat

[empty blaze]

Hmm deep north looks nice

roughly how many months will it take for the deep north update to be released?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s unlikely we’ll get anything before 2026

[merry pebble]

We dont know, but if we assume it will take at least as long as ashlands then it might come out around the end of the year, but I personally would not bet on it since it will also be the 1.0 update with many more tweeks and stuff in it

[empty blaze]

I understand thx

[vocal rivet]

It is?

[nocturne wolf]

I know as much as you do, it’s just a guess

[elder briar]

I love parrying in valheim its so satisfying

[cosmic igloo]

true

[fair cairn]

especially parrying arrows or or flying projectiles and stunning the mob the threw it

[tiny tiger]

I always find that so goofy looking, can you parry drakes doing that?

[sour furnace]

Umm.... Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but bm sword at 46 swords skill had like half the dps of the frostner at clubs 37

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but they’re immune to staggering
And what’s goofy about it?

[merry pebble]

Both do 113 dmg to him at lvl4 🤷‍♂️

[sour furnace]

You can upgrade bm sword to lvl 4?

During plains

[merry pebble]

Yep

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, the final forge upgrade is in swamps so everything past that can go to level 4

[tiny tiger]

The how it looks part, a greydwarf throws a rock at you and you parry it and suddenly they have the same animation as if they were knocked by a shield?

[nocturne wolf]

You parry the attack and it staggers them

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I get that and it looks goofy

[regal spoke]

Perhaps to "parry" a projectile is the goofy part. Parry typically is meant for melee combat. So it's the idea the brain laughs at 😆

[fossil oar]

Iirc they removed parrying projectiles for like one patch and people got upset so they put it back

[regal spoke]

If true I missed that lil phase and glad for it

[limpid vigil]

on what platform now agaiN?

[regal spoke]

YouTube and Twitch

They released a vid a little bit ago on their YT channel.

[merry pebble]

The idea of parrying projectile is not really that funny, that can be done, but the stagger that follows kinda makes no sense 🙂 but it is great mechanic in game since the enemy is stunned by your ability to parry his shot

[regal spoke]

Well put. Fair play

[limpid vigil]

Are Iron Gate all swedish?

[merry pebble]

I believe so, yes

[rugged ingot]

hey, valheim's website is not translating everything in portugese when choosing the portugal flag

[tacit crystal]

Good first haul from sunken crypt, enough to craft and upgrade helmet and huntsman bow to quality 3 and still more left and I was lucky to find 3 abominations already, so now I have root harnesk at quality 2. 👍

And Bonemass altar revealed in same swamp I am in.

[sinful fulcrum]

Smiffe said it is basically the enemy like: oh wow he parried my arrow I am shocked

[merry pebble]

Indeed 😄

[sinful fulcrum]

Imagine someone parries your bullet, you are likely to look shocked before shooting another bullet

[gray sand]

It is dumb.
But they admitted that in the patch notes when they changed it back.

[tacit crystal]

The best parrying IMO is spear fuling when you parry it and throw a spear back at it, I call it "No U" throw.

[sour furnace]

Knock em over with your sheer coolness factor

[echo wind]

I got a message in the left top saying the world is saved. Do I still need to battle Eikthyr?

[regal spoke]

Nope you done well. Go home 😹

[steel copper]

would be cool if they added a missile reversal mechanic so you catch the arrow and fire it back like AC Valhalla, although equally as ridiculous

[rare urchin]

are there any valheim servers i could join?

[opaque bobcat]

oh man

the mistlands is hard

[late prism]

wsg people

[opaque bobcat]

trying to make a farm in the mistlands, but i think if i till the ground or put a fence piece in those seekers come snooping in my buisness

they hit soo damn hard, i don't think this fenrir armour is cutting it, and the fights in the mistlands are too spread apart for bonemass power to be viable

[chrome badge]

They most definitely will, search out a spot that has no enemies majority of the time, and place fires/workbenches to block spawns surrounding it for protection.

[opaque bobcat]

block spawns?

[chrome badge]

Yeah, you can secure areas with certain build pieces, enemies can still walk into those areas, but they won't be able to spawn in near them.

[opaque bobcat]

i don't want to cheese the game by spamming workbenches around a small plot of farm

can't i just do one?

[late prism]

i think it can be anything like campfires and that

[merry pebble]

Campfires are better since mobs don't attack them

[chrome badge]

It's only cheesy if you don't use any logic for spamming the objects imo, if you utilize them for upkeeping walls, and create a perimeter even further than that to make watchtowers, you can utilize the watchtowers as well. Like this: #building-ideas message

[noble axle]

dodge, parry, they are pretty easy to kill once you learn their animations and distance for weapon heavy attacks, also if there's multiple seekers use an Atgeir to stun them all

[opaque bobcat]

so when do you dodge? is it before their windup on the attack or on the swing? because dodging is not a reliable tactic for me

im good at parrying, considering this axe makes me 20 percent slower

which ones can i parry?

[noble axle]

as they're winding up try to time it when they're attacking idk if this makes sense, also the axe makes u rlly slow lol

[nocturne wolf]

If you’re rolling, the iframes start as soon as you start the animation

[opaque bobcat]

but it hits hard enough to stun them

[noble axle]

u can parry everything there depending on block skill, food, and shield

[nocturne wolf]

Seeker attacks all have pretty short hitboxes so jumping works well too

[opaque bobcat]

no other weapon has the poke stun alternate attack like the battleaxe does

[nocturne wolf]

Polearm, mace and fist weapons all have high stagger secondary attacks

[noble axle]

Atgeir can stun anything except bosses and has a poke attack

[opaque bobcat]

which one pokes tho? i need reach

[noble axle]

Using it's heavy attack it does a spin move which can stun mobs

[nocturne wolf]

Polearm probably have the best reach of those

[opaque bobcat]

because rn wolffang isn't cutting it compared to my silver batlleaxe

[noble axle]

For regular melee against them I used a silver sword in my last run

[opaque bobcat]

i thought about using a sword, but i havent used a single sword so far, and stuck with axes. my skill in swords is zilch

[noble axle]

Until I got krom

[chrome badge]

Polearm is choice, and comes in super handy when progressing to the boss

[noble axle]

That doesn't matter too much u can still do good with lvl 0 in swords

[opaque bobcat]

but what about the extra damage you get from being higher skilled in swords?

[tacit crystal]

Mace is also good option as the knockback helps keeping enemies away from you. Frostner especially combined with slow effect of frost damage is really good in Mistlands.

[opaque bobcat]

the damage, man

[noble axle]

It only helps with max dmg (yellow number range) also r u wearing Root harnesk

[merry pebble]

Its good, but not at all necessary

[chrome badge]

The difference in damage isn't worth not utilizing different weapons

[tacit crystal]

The skill increases quite fast when you start to use that weapon type.

[opaque bobcat]

was, but am now on fenrir. the movement speed helps offset the axe movement speed debuff

[noble axle]

Yea use 2 pieces of fenris with root that's the best combo imo

[opaque bobcat]

and ratatosk makes it negligible

[noble axle]

Alot of enemies in mistlands do pierce dmg

[tacit crystal]

Have you found Bog witch? She sells ingredients that can be used for mead that increases movement speed.

[opaque bobcat]

i died twice with that mindset from this big fucking blimp enemy

[cobalt canyon]

📯

[tacit crystal]

Fire barley wine.

[opaque bobcat]

whatever it is, didnt see it's name, but an outline

[noble axle]

Just avoid it's fire attacks and if u can't, use fire wine

[opaque bobcat]

with what? i dont even know how to make that stuff? let alone it even existed

[noble axle]

how did u beat yagluth 🤔

[opaque bobcat]

the fenrir armour

it has fire resistance on it with the whole set

and a friend

oh with cloud berries

[tacit crystal]

Cloudberries and barley for fire barley wine, which makes you resistant to fire.

[opaque bobcat]

forgot to grab em while in base

[cobalt canyon]

(Or you just jump in the water)

[tacit crystal]

Resistance overrides weakness.

[paper roost]

hi guys

[opaque bobcat]

which was conveintly what i did a couple of times. yagluth was actually really close to the shore

[tacit crystal]

Just become wet. ||😏||

[paper roost]

@opaque bobcat i agree and disagree with some of the opinions on what is better for you in the mist. the harnesk along with 2 pieces is good idea with using fire resist when you face jelly. i disagree you cant use battleaxe, its still very good there if you have high skills. with secondary attack you can stagger most of enemies and than smash with combo, so no need to roll that much at all. Although you gonna have quite hard times with that thing to kill the boss, so its up to you, what you decide

[tacit crystal]

I agree with battleaxe, I've also played with it around Mistlands and it works good as it staggers those seekers quite easily.

[opaque bobcat]

idk i can go back to anything one handed. the pain of equipping your shield and weapon from your bow is slow in the heat of battle

i could make a black metal atgeir

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need to equip them both at the same time. Many one-handed weapons work well without a shield in most situations

[opaque bobcat]

oh wait

can i knock down those yggdrasil shoots with the atgeir?

[paper roost]

any blackmetal weapon, even knife 🙂

[merry pebble]

Not the big ones tho

[opaque bobcat]

i guess thats was another reason of why i liked the silver battleaxe was that i could use it to chop down trees too

[opaque bobcat]

thanks

[hardy blaze]

no way.... i just lost all my gear far away and i didnt get a portal

[opaque bobcat]

thats a log off for me right there lol

[hardy blaze]

is there anyway to like fly even if its cheating idc if it is

[light moat]

You can enable dev commands and fly over there

[hardy blaze]

HOW

[light moat]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console I think it only works on PC 🤔

That’s link on how to do it, haven’t done it myself personally

Looks like I was wrong, guess it does work on Xbox

[hardy blaze]

THANK YOU

[regal spoke]

Lt lb menu

[gray sand]

Resistance is futile.

[paper marsh]

Guys I'm getting the itch to play valheim again

[amber plinth]

jump on in, the water is fine

[paper roost]

hi, whats holding you back?

[paper marsh]

Last time I jumped in water in valheim it killed me :(

[light moat]

Oh wow, it’s been awhile! Come on back 🙂

[paper marsh]

Got a bit burnt out and also busy with work

[light moat]

I was just talking about you the other day lol.

[paper roost]

happens to all of us unfortunately

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, avoid spicy water. 🔥

[hardy blaze]

I DID IT! I KILLED BONE MASS

[amber plinth]

oh that's easy you just have to unmass his bones

[hardy blaze]

he was spamming summons

[paper marsh]

Nice! Put his head on a hook and you'll get what I think is the most popular boss power in the game 😄

[amber plinth]

moss

most popular boss power is from elder

almost 200,000 were polled

[lapis pagoda]

I fw bonemass boss power heavy

shit saved me over 10 times now

[amber plinth]

i'm too much like the bonemass irl to even contemplate using the power

[lapis pagoda]

Im built like bonemass too tbh

my eyes are two skulls

My most favourite boss design so far is Bonemass, seriously, he looks deadass cool

elder is just a tree, the deer one (forgot the name) is just a deer

Wish we could make tunnels, like just imagine some tunnel system that connects various small bases on big island

[noble axle]

I like Eikthyr power and || Fader power || sometimes || Queen for mining ||

[amber plinth]

the tree is my favourite because he doesn't look like a typical tree

he's an evil spooky tree

[lapis pagoda]

hold on, aint elder is like an part of the big ass tree?

[amber plinth]

ya he's just a big ass tree

[lapis pagoda]

nah i mean that one in the sky

[amber plinth]

nah that's ygdrassil

[lapis pagoda]

Thats what im sayin, isnt Elder suppose to be an part of ygdrassil?

[tacit crystal]

That would be cool, but game engine doesn't allow that kind of terrain shaping. But digging under a huge boulder and you can kinda have tunnels.

[amber plinth]

no elder cant be a direct part of it

[vocal rivet]

No...

[lapis pagoda]

God bless Valheim modders, we need working tunnels 🙏🙏🙏

[vocal rivet]

Nah.

[amber plinth]

tunnels break the game

[lapis pagoda]

:(

[amber plinth]

dig under elder's platform to cheese him and you'll see what i mean

[tacit crystal]

Greydwarves are kinda like souls of murderers and thieves etc. that raised from moss.

[lapis pagoda]

i HATE discord 😦 emoji, and I HATE 🙂 emoji too. I WANT TO SEND :) AND :( NOT 🙂 AND 😦

[vocal rivet]

Ok?

[lapis pagoda]

You just ruined my mood

[amber plinth]

i hate discord too, sorry to spoil your mood

didn't mean ta...

[nocturne wolf]

Instead of 😦 and 🙂, use and

[vocal rivet]

You don't have to be on it.

[hardy blaze]

you can change in setting that it uses :) and not emojis

[lapis pagoda]

HUH

Explain, now, i need to know how to do it

[hardy blaze]

user setting

[vocal rivet]

You could be more polite.

[lapis pagoda]

nah

[hardy blaze]

chat and then find automatically convert emoticons to emojis or smth like that

[lapis pagoda]

im using browser discord though... I dont have user settings or something

[hardy blaze]

me too

[shy mantle]

Scythe doesn't work with magecaps/jotun puffs?

[lapis pagoda]

:)

[misty cloak]

ok, mining flametal is a pain in the ass, but thematically i think its awesome

[hardy blaze]

wait dm so i can send pics

[lapis pagoda]

YEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH :) :) :) :) :)

[keen trench]

nops, known issue

[hardy blaze]

oh nvm you got it

[lapis pagoda]

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE :) :) :) :) :D :D :D :D

i've been on discord since damn 2017, and finally FINALLY

[shy mantle]

Amazing thanks

Also, will chickens lay eggs if there is no fire around? I want to farm eggs without them accidentally hatching

[keen trench]

i mean it was not intended and most probably will be fixed

[tacit crystal]

Unnecessary.

[keen trench]

sure, they just need to be fed, if no fire buff is around they'll never hatch

i think there's also a 10 limit, if you have 2 chickens then they'll lay 8 eggs then stop, even if fed

3 chickens, 7 eggs... you get the idea, but not 100% sure about numbers

[shy mantle]

I see, thanks a lot. I had some interesting scenarios with 15+ chickens in each of my coupes

[noble axle]

use queen power, u can 1-2 shot flametal with a t4 black metal pickaxe

[keen trench]

yes the laying thing works with distance also, but i dont know the maths there, hatching is unlimited if you drop 50 separate eggs near a fire they'll all hatch

[lapis pagoda]

Is having an base in Mountains is an good idea?

[fair cairn]

i wouldnt say yes
unless you are playing with no portal restrictions on ores and metals or are using stone portals or you dont mind needing a portal everytime to get to the boat

[lapis pagoda]

wait, stone portal, huh?

holy shit, i didnt knew about it

[merry pebble]

You get it in ashlands

[lapis pagoda]

well yeah, i play with no restriction portals, so i guess I will build my self an nice looking house on the top of an mountain. I found an big ass mountain biome on one of the islands

[fair cairn]

i personally prefer being close to a big river or ocean for a base

[gray sand]

🏔️

[lapis pagoda]

to be honest, i love building houses, i just want to build houses whenever i can, or atleast have an base in every biome possible, i wonder how i will build an house in ashlands...

[mint plank]

Hiya, Im just looking to join some people and build cool stuff/have fun.

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[mint plank]

oh i see lol

[keen trench]

i understand, i never needed a proper base on the mountains but i did a couple for that reason, mountains at dawn are awesome

[tacit crystal]

Yess found the Bog witch in my bow challenge world! I was already crawing for Ratatosk tonic.

[lapis pagoda]

I remember how i found bog witch before haldor and hildir

[gray sand]

All 3 of my shops are in the same general area 😄

[noble axle]

Me and my friends made a small base on the mountains because there was tons and tons of silver on that mountain & a few caves 🤷 so it depends on what u need

I'd say making a small base is definently worth it but dont make it ur main base

[tacit crystal]

I found Haldor in starting island, still Hildir to be found here.

[gray sand]

Mountain bases my beloved.

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message Do you have different worlds with same seed?

[gray sand]

Yes and no?
When I start a new run I completely wipe everything.
Character, world files, etc.
It's a completely fresh start. This is my second run on this world seed ever.

[cosmic igloo]

dude im looking at what you can craft with silver. im just thinking wtf i can skip all of this except for cauldron upgrade

[gray sand]

True.

[light moat]

Pretty much 👀

[tacit crystal]

Wipe everything meaning you have only one world and one character existing at once?

[gray sand]

I only bother with Silver Sword if I get very lucky RNG with silver veins.

Otherwise my weapon progression remains as it always was.
Wooden Club -> Iron Mace -> Blackmetal Weapon of Chocie.

[gray sand]

Correct.

[cosmic igloo]

so mountains is just find moder and bonfire her? what a joke biome @tiny tiger

or am i forgetting about smth

i dont need fenris tbh

[gray sand]

If you don't need Fenris and don't care about Crystals then yes.
But given you can skip blackmetal farming just as easily... 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic igloo]

oh right and onion seeds

[misty cloak]

oh no, its the whole, OOPS, I accidentally mined my platform and im dead, thing lol

[misty cloak]

i mean, with tactics like that you need , enough bronze for a boat, and then you can go till you kill moder, go get some marble and the mats for a sealbreaker, kill the queen and go to the ashlands

so you dont have to kill half the bosses in the game

[cosmic igloo]

you can even tp glitch into queen chamber

like w crypt chair glitch

[noble axle]

portals r easier

[merry pebble]

You dont need to kill any exept Moder 🙂

[cosmic igloo]

ya tp = teleport = portal

[misty cloak]

see, but viewing a game as the minimum possible amount of gameplay via exploits its kindof a shitty way to critique it

[cosmic igloo]

aight sry dont wanna have this type of argument

[misty cloak]

arent they patching the spires to be benchproof?

[noble axle]

lets hope not

[misty cloak]

if it helps, i ALSO wish we could do more with silver, its my favorite thing to mine

[merry pebble]

We have no info about that, i know Smiffe wouldnt mind or even welcome it but nobody said what and if they will do something

[cosmic igloo]

same

[misty cloak]

gotcha, i just read to far into that then

[cosmic igloo]

just sailing around, i just remembered that i was rly dissapointed that u couldnt climb the yggdrassil roots in the sky

thats the first thing i wanted to do when i opened this game and saw it

[misty cloak]

i think that one was universal lol

[lapis pagoda]

yeah, first time booting up valheim back in 2022, i felt the same, dissapointment. I wanted to walk that big ass tree

[noble axle]

yea it reminds me of Palworld, because they have a world tree as well and I wanted to get to it, only to be blocked by a barrier in the ocean 😦

[cosmic igloo]

:/

[lapis pagoda]

Is it safe to build an base around frost caves entry?

[merry pebble]

Just as safe as anywhere else in mountains 🙂

[hardy blaze]

Yall how easily do portals break in each biome

[tall ginkgo]

Yo who has good valheim server?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[tall ginkgo]

its literally all na server

[merry pebble]

Then filter it 😉

[tall ginkgo]

still doesnt 💀

[paper marsh]

In that case there’s probably a lot of good NA servers

Can always start your own tho

[tall ginkgo]

ill lag thats the problem

Man playing solo is sad af thats why

[paper marsh]

I'm sure someone would join if you give like a couple weeks notice on a server you're starting up

[noble axle]

just make a little box around it or hide it somewhere safe 🤷 shouldn't break at all then

haha.. box 😉

[inner smelt]

How do you find servers?

[paper marsh]

You can find servers other people have made in #1024264966712340510 , or you can make your own. Making your own costs money though because you need to pay for a website to host the server (look it up on google if interested)

[hardy blaze]

Ok its just that i stopped play before mistlands btw cuz elder Broke My portals and then a shaman healed IT to Max hp

[noble axle]

😦

[paper marsh]

Might not be a shaman, bosses (and all other monsters) heal on their own. Just slowly

[hardy blaze]

Nope i saw IT after i died The shaman threw its powder nd then IT healed ALOT at a Time (Bug maybe) like ⅒ a tick

Literally Max hp before i respawned

[paper marsh]

That's rough

[hardy blaze]

Also IT was THIS CLOSE to dying I EVEN HAD FIRE ON IT but nooo The shaman comes throwing its poison powder all ovet The Place

[amber plinth]

you have to clear your surroundings if you want to be left safe

[craggy cliff]

@near furnace Is Valheim gonna get the DLSS/framegen features at some point? As far as I know its supported in Unity >2021, Don't remember what version of unity Valheim's on :3

[noble axle]

we don't need that for this type of graphics

[craggy cliff]

What do you mean by "this type" of graphics. Graphics are graphics. Large builds etc take a huge toll on graphics and try running on a huge monitor, let me know how that goes

[noble axle]

the only thing that takes up alot of fps is making gigantic structures which are insanely detailed, nothing else in the game is anywhere near detailed as a player made structure using thousands of building materials

also tons of games do not have dlss/frame gen and they have these types of structures as well

and you do not need to make a gigantic castle to play the game

[craggy cliff]

That's just one case of loosing a lot of frames. Im in the meadows, no huge buildings etc and Im at 60-100 frames tops. Running a 3080ti

given, Im at native rendering with everything on max, but on a huge ass monitor

[noble axle]

what resolution

[craggy cliff]

5120x1440, basically, nearly 4k

[noble axle]

yea... no wonder

[craggy cliff]

hence, the reason why Im asking

[fossil fossil]

do all players have different map?

[noble axle]

yes

[fossil fossil]

thanks man

[vocal rivet]

Not true, too many dynamic light sources will also cause FPS drops.

[fossil fossil]

was on 40 fps when I had everything on very high, put the light sources / shadow to med I got 150+ fps instantly rest is still very high

[lapis pagoda]

Stone Golems keep spawning and spawning as i build my base in mountains, heck should i do?

[merry pebble]

Hole and golem in it 🙂

[buoyant panther]

Yep, put your golem in a hole.

[misty cloak]

make the hole a moat, have moat golems to defendt you from raids lol

[lapis pagoda]

No, i killed him already

[misty cloak]

hell be back

[lapis pagoda]

its like, third already, how do i prevent them from spawning

[misty cloak]

litter the land with workbenches

[merry pebble]

Keep one in a hole, 1 is a cap for a zone so no more will spawn

[echo wind]

Chat be like "Golem? Hole 'em!"

[merry pebble]

That, workbenches/campfires everywhere, or just dont care and kill on sight

[tacit crystal]

Huh, got to craft the fenris coat and leggings after hauling 4 frost caves, I even got a cultist trophy. Over 120 hair but low on wolf pelts. This challenge run has been going quite well.

[shy marlin]

No better feeling than getting that trophy early

[nocturne wolf]

120 hair from 4 caves??

[tacit crystal]

Yes.

[nocturne wolf]

Are you playing with increased resources?

[tacit crystal]

Quite large mountain was near the swamps I was delving in.

[tacit crystal]

No, normal settings.

[nocturne wolf]

The most I remember getting from one cave is 14

[tacit crystal]

Don't remember when I had gotten this many hair. I have almost for fully upgraded set.

[fossil fossil]

what is that on #screenshots am i supposed to beat it?

[tacit crystal]

Seems like greydwarf nest/spawner. You could hide your UI with ctrl + F3 next time.

[shy marlin]

Yea so that's a black forest tier thing, just so happened to spawn in the meadows, occasionally happens due to some world shenanigans, you can shoot it from afar. It's relatively dangerous for your level

[fossil fossil]

thought im supposed to beat it to finally get some sword jesus. Are all gears here hand crafted? or is it skyrim-liked drops

[nocturne wolf]

If you don't get unlucky and have a 2-star enemy spawn you should be ok

[nocturne wolf]

All equipment is crafted

[fossil fossil]

amen mommy

so there is no dungeons with like chests and gears on it?

nvm dont answer the question very dumb

[weak cypress]

Welp, anyone here have stone gathering tips?

[tacit crystal]

Mining copper/silver also grant stone. High stone pillars in plains. Greydwarf spawner farm.

[weak cypress]

I was thinking copper (or even the big rocks in the forest). Not at mountains yet in this run, and I refuse to hop between worlds on it. No portals, and I'd consider world hopping to be against that vibe. Might have to set up a greydwarf killer (despite having a metric fuckload of stone already)

[hearty niche]

The rocks in Black Forest that look like copper nodes but lack the gleam/sparkle have decent amounts of stone. I usually just go for the copper ones cuz I need copper anyway?

If there was a single mod I'd use in the game, it would be one allowing resource-specific tweaking of drop rates. 1.5x for stone doesn't sound like a lot but it's significant.

[weak cypress]

I just use too much stone. Surrounding the whole camp I've set up with an 8m (or higher) wall takes a lot of stone

[sinful fulcrum]

in my runs I always get the trophy first or second cave

best feeling ever

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, now zooming with fenris set plus Ratatosk tonic.

[north pecan]

Whoever the sound engineers are on the team killed it with mistlands lightning. Sounds so cool

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, them storms are very beautiful.

[vocal haven]

I'm trying to spawn in some items I lost after a mod update went wrong. I have run devcommands, and when attempting to run spawn ArmorWolfChest 1 I only see 'spawn' is not valid in the current context. Any ideas why this happens? This is on a dedicated server and I am registered as the admin.

[light moat]

Have you tried a different world? Maybe you can go to a private solo world, summon the item, then go back to the server?

[vocal haven]

yeah that works, but I was hoping to learn why it doesn't work on my server

[light moat]

Oh gotcha, could try to see if anyone knows in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 maybe? 🤔
