[nocturne wolf]

Have you smelted flametal? You have all of the gemstones.

[cosmic kindle]

Yes

[nocturne wolf]

These are also available but don't need flametal
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Staff_of_Fracturing
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Staff_of_the_Wild

[tacit crystal]

You have to craft base flametal weapon to get new recipes for gem infused versions of that weapon.

[cosmic kindle]

I dont have celestial feathers

[cosmic kindle]

Gem infused?

[nocturne wolf]

You can craft gemstone weapons with a flametal melee weapon + gemstones, which have unique effects on hit 🎰

[tacit crystal]

You can use those gems to craft weapons with specific effect depending on the gem.

[cosmic kindle]

Oh

[cosmic kindle]

Are those the only 2 new staffs?

[nocturne wolf]

There are also these
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Dundr
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Trollstav

[cosmic kindle]

Yea its cause i have yet to collect celestial feathers

[tacit crystal]

Dundr requires celestial feathers too.

[cosmic kindle]

Which ones of those staffs are the best?

[nocturne wolf]

Kill a fallen valkyrie

[nocturne wolf]

Trollstav is very good, but be careful with it

[tacit crystal]

Trollstav and Staff of the Wild are both very strong.

[cosmic kindle]

Right now my weapons are protection staff ember staff and trollstav

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is fun weapon and very effective against Morgen. Lacks some AoE but knockback can keep enemies away from you.

[visual granite]

died in a dumbass way because i thought i could make it across a lava pool

and now my shits out in the middle of it 😭

[cosmic kindle]

Just made staff of the wild does it replace ember staff or should i still carry ember staff

[cosmic igloo]

yea basically replaces

[tacit crystal]

Fortunately there are basalt bombs.

[cosmic igloo]

but still keep fire staff for stuff like archers if u want

[visual granite]

nah im gonna ride a log out there

[pliant radish]

Why do I see people complain about how long devs take to release an update when the updates are actually coming relatively fast

[tacit crystal]

Impatience might be one reason.

[cosmic igloo]

prolly ppl just used to faster updates from other games

for example if you're a path of exile player and used to game update every 3-4 months

also valheim isnt a hugely complicated game like world of warcraft for example and ppl might not know about the dev team size

so ppl might just think whats the big deal

[plucky pasture]

I was just thinking about this. Mostly because I want to play, but I don't think I should until 1.0. I know it really won't be that far away all things considered, but I'm really in the mood.

[pliant hatch]

It's more likely that people think that "they made millions", thus are able to hire 100's of new devs and get everything done within a few months.

Without thinking that having a couple of millions is one thing, but spending it wisely and thinking of the future is a whole different level.

[visual granite]

this fucking dvergr rogue is a legend

and he burned to death like an idiot, rip a real one

[lunar sapphire]

Lit Dvergr!

[visual granite]

they should really try to avoid walking into the lava

[lunar sapphire]

This whole time my head was thinking of a mistlands Dvergr randomly catching on fire. Most likely to a Gjall/friendly fire from a fire mage

[visual granite]

haha

spontaneous dvergr combustion

[lunar sapphire]

[wintry valve]

i want the deep north update now =_=

I cant wait to be destroyed in new and novel ways

[lapis depot]

It'll still be mostly gravity that does it

Or some type of new, dangerous tree

[pliant hatch]

And Mariah Cary screams that all she wants for Christmass is you.

Yet like Mick Jagger already sang: 🎶 You can't always get what you want 🎶

[quick sundial]

Hi, don't speak here often and I'm sure I'm just waltzing in and being a bother but
Me and my friends beat Moder for the first time today and I'm quite proud of it.
(I will not speak about us going into the plains and instantly dying)

[wintry valve]

I bet you are hoarding all the update for yourself

[pliant hatch]

Nah. It doesn't fit with the game I'm currently playing.

[north pecan]

Does adjusting the resource rate alter how many elemental gems spawn in Ashlands Fortress Chests?

[ashen geyser]

Even if i try sometimes?

[pliant hatch]

I got no idea, but I did notice it did alter the amount of surtling cores I found in burial chambers.
So it wouldn't surprise me if it does change the amount of gems too.
The wiki may have more information on that, though.

[north pecan]

well the thing is the gems are found in chests and aren't "pickups" if that makes sense. I am gonna host a multiplayer run at somepoint and I know those will go by fast lol

[cosmic kindle]

How do yall deal with etri refinery damage i have mine in a stone box and ill come back to the walls and shit being broke

[pliant hatch]

Use mistland materials for walls and floors for an eitr refinery building.

[cosmic kindle]

Do they have more health

[pliant hatch]

They're more or less invulnerable to the damage refined Eitr does.

[wintry valve]

I pit my refinery on top of a tall tower

my friend just build an iron cage around it tho

magic radiation cannot go through spacious iron fences

[light moat]

Yep, iron or copper cage is probably your safest option

[abstract warren]

Something to listen to while playing 🎶

[light moat]

Been stumbling upon a lot of Mistlands that have no mist 🤔

[pliant hatch]

It looks like you got what a lot of players wish for.

And keep posting as a suggestion every once in a while......

[light moat]

Yeah, lucky me! Goes to show that it’s possible to find at least, it’s actually pretty cool looking 👀

#screenshots message

[regal spoke]

I've never seen the spires form like that. Did you happen to find that location in the dark purple area on the map

[light moat]

Yeah, it would seem that the darker areas on the map are mistalnds that often don’t have mist 🤔

[regal spoke]

Very cool

[light moat]

This triple spire formation is one of the ways the infested mines can appear

[regal spoke]

Sweet

[signal bloom]

does blood magic eitr and hp cost reduction from skill level not reflect in the tooltip of staffs? Mine doesn't seem to affect the tooltip, wondering if this is just me or some kinda bug?

[tacit crystal]

Afaik it doesn't show on tooltip.

[rotund dust]

Ain't played for a few months, but when did Eikthyr stop doing a lightning dot, if you got hit?

[vital umbra]

a what

oh

[nocturne wolf]

Lightning doesn’t deal damage over time. Only poison, spirit and fire damage do that.

[lyric ermine]

Hello everyone. I’ve just bought Valheim for my Mac air 8gb , the lag is insanely slow and unplayable. Is there anything I can do to improve play? Or do I give up and get a console/ more powerful laptop? Many thanks 🙏

Sorry for such a noob question

Just realised there’s a help chat… 👍

[dapper coral]

hi all i am looking for some server to join any sugestions

[pliant hatch]

I sugest you look in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[dapper coral]

i just saw thanx

[random smelt]

Hey guys

Is there a way my friends enter the server i created if i was offline ?

[pliant hatch]

If it's running on your PC....

No.

[random smelt]

do u think sharing it on google drive is good ?

[eager umbra]

You would need a dedicated server
Or you could share the world file each time you get off

[pliant hatch]

You mean your world files, so your friend can add them to his / her game, then play a bit, share them, you upload them and so on?

Dunno about that, but it's most likely possible.
Down side is that you're basically doing an exchange of a solo game.

The only way to make sure both can enter a MP game when one of them isn't there is either keeping your PC on and you being in online all the time - even if you're inactive - or use a dedicated server.

And for the latter you may want to have a look at https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[radiant wraith]

somebody wanna play?

[shy kettle]

#1024264966712340510

[radiant wraith]

thanks

[shy kettle]

no worries bro

[supple jasper]

I don't know if they've added more ashlands balancing, but it's finally not terrible; the transition from mistlands is still annoying but there seem to have been adjustments with regards to ashlands weapon damage and number of gems dropped

[vocal rivet]

Nope, hasn't changed, you're just learning.

[supple jasper]

dunno, I'm sitting at 10 gems of almost each color after 2 fortresses

was around 3 of each when I've last played

[vocal rivet]

Um, do you have increased drops on as that's impossible?

[supple jasper]

nope

it used to spawn 1-2 chests, now I'm seeing 3-4

[tiny tiger]

anyone know any wizard tech for better combat? like i know melee has that animation cancelling stuff

or just tips in general like which staffs do you find work best against which enemies

[vocal rivet]

No, there are two chests. Each having a chance of 0-1 gems of each kind. With default settings.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, not happening with default modifiers 😅

[plush umbra]

when will the next update come?

[vocal rivet]

When it's ready.

[bold lynx]

when will the next update come?

[vocal rivet]

Seriously?

Hm, what are the odds of you joining within 5 days of each other.

[azure yacht]

And asking the exact same question. As in, literally copy-pasted...

[shy marlin]

Unemployment final bosses

[tiny tiger]

i feel a little dumb rn but TIL you dont need to excavate the bottom of the stone pillars to break the entire thing, you can just mine it normal and it just leaves a dirt patch on the ground

the video where I saw a dude mine an entire silver vein by having the slightest bit of it protruding out the ground got me thinking about it and I feel like ive wasted so much time mining the ground below the pillars this entire time 🤦‍♂️

And now that I think about it it probably works the same with copper nodes, you mine out all the visible pieces and the rest of it should all break once there’s no more attachment points with the surface

[light moat]

It’s ok… I learn new stuff all the time and I have 900 hours lol

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it’s just so obvious when you think about it lol, I think the og way of mining silver by excavating it threw me off so I never bothered to even try just mining it normally

[sour furnace]

Wait..... There's no underground attachment points?

[tiny tiger]

The simplest way I can think to explain this is, the copper and silver or the rock pillars in the plains connect to the ground via attachment points however attachments points can only be found on the surface of the terrain or on other static objects such as other ores rocks or trees, removing all the attachment points causes the entire thing to crumble and in the case of, for example silver, having the smallest piece visible to mine and mining it away removes the final attachment point causing the entire thing to crumble, and with stone pillars in the plains just removing all surrounding trees (and stumps) and then mining away at the base layer until it’s all disconnected causes the entire thing to crumble too

Another example is the giant remains in the mistlands, the brain matter isn’t connected to the black marble skull around it so if you remove all attachments points around such as terrain then start taking apart the brain inside then you save yourself time not having to line the entire thing, although I’m not sure where the exact piece is that connects the giant brain to the giant skull

[sour furnace]

That's fascinating. I'll make sure to get all the corners of the copper vein next time I mine

[prime fulcrum]

Some europeans here to start a new viking adventure on xbox ?

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510

[signal bloom]

so if I tamed an askvin from a spawn, will that spawn point spawn any more askvin or no?

[light moat]

They don’t a specific spawn, they can spawn pretty much anywhere in the Ashlands

[tacit crystal]

They spawn quite regularly but require being nearby lava areas, afaik. But they have no fixed spawn points.

[rotund dust]

Nah Eikthyr used to do damage over time when you got hit by his lightning skill....

[nocturne wolf]

When was this?

[rotund dust]

Like majority of the game, which makes me think Bog With update changed it?

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve been playing since mistlands

[cobalt canyon]

I know there's a lightning debuff but I don't think it's ever been damage dealing

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage#Lightning

[nocturne wolf]

The lightning effect just creates visuals and sound

[rotund dust]

Nah it 100% used to do damage to you

[merry pebble]

Not over time

[rotund dust]

Like a 1-2 tick, 3-4 times, cos i watched my son die to it on one of our first playthrus years ago

100% it did.

[merry pebble]

I dont remember it at all, while playing since march 2021

[cobalt canyon]

Definitely wasn't a BW change

[plush umbra]

that could easily have just been lag or some other source of damage, lightning was always a direct damage type

[rotund dust]

Regardless of what you are all claiming it was, I know for a fact it used to deal dot damage

[signal bloom]

is this really true? I've read online folks mark askvin spawns..but I thought they didn't have spawn points as well. Also ran across a whole continent of Ashland's for 2 in game days and saw zero of em where I know I've seen them before taming a few (wasn't sure if the tame ones block spawning)

[plush umbra]

fixed respawning enemy spawners are a myth that just refuses to die haha

[merry pebble]

The do not have spawn point, like exact point that they will always spawn in, but there are areas that may hav better spawn conditions for them than other ones 🙂

[plush umbra]

the only times the game uses actual invisible spawners is for points of interest like dungeons or ruins, and even then, almost all of them are one-time only, never respawning their enemy

[regal spoke]

Respawns are zone based right

[plush umbra]

every zone has its own cooldown for an attempt, yes

they attempt to spawn them somewhere around you

[tacit crystal]

Winter summed it up well. There are no fixed spawn points except in some POIs.

Seems like either they spawned somewhere you didn't see them or you were unlucky.

[regal spoke]

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

Then there's those other one shot spawns? Troll, morgen, etc.

I think I'm speaking of spawn points

[sharp bluff]

some mobs also happen to have semi fixed spawns, aka their spawn conditions line up with the terrain in such a way that they effectively have a spawn point

[vocal rivet]

Myth.

[sharp bluff]

like that fking 1-star troll next to my logging spot...

[merry pebble]

Yes, the trolls around and inside caves and morgens inside (not sure if there is a spawnpoint outside of morgen cave)

[tacit crystal]

Troll caves have possibly up to 2 spawn points for Trolls; one inside and other outside.

Putrid Holes and some ruins around the Ashlands area also have one time spawn points for Morgen, which are only way to spawn starred Morgen.

[tacit crystal]

There isn't outside spawn point at Putrid Holes.

[vocal rivet]

Eventually we'll have typed out that entire page.

[regal spoke]

Hehe

Thanks for the clarity

[steel fjord]

Lets make max carry weight 25KG and each piece of wood 3KG

A regular log the size of the one on screen is around 3KG. No one in the world is running and performing combat with 300KG on them. 25KG yes

This way, we will never get anything done

[signal bloom]

hmm so in order to find a 2 star askvin... I must put myself into a predicament where I'm least prepared for it 😅

[rotund dust]

Troll confirmed.

[steel fjord]

Vikings were like 5 foot 7

[hazy widget]

So I just died to the little flameballs that spews up of the ashlands lava.... twice.

And the third time when I was getting my stuff back, the basalt platform went away with no sound queue. Deleted my safe file and ragequit. I'll be back when deep north comes out.

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, realism in my video game where i am playing as a dead viking that can revive infinitely and is battling monsters made out of hatred for example. Not forgeting using their eyes to achieve near instantaneous travel...

[steel fjord]

Hardcore is the way to play. 1 life. Dying your way through the game on normal mode while modding and portalling is boring.

[vocal rivet]

Sounds like you're actually after a mod.

[wintry valve]

there are nonfixed spawn points? Thats weird. I swear I visit an island where two lava blobs constantly respawn in the same area.

I suppose the other monster spawns wherever they want.

[vocal rivet]

Oie. Yes.

[nocturne wolf]

How would these changes actually benefit the game?

[wintry valve]

I swear these two lava blobs are fixed, tho

[steel fjord]

They absolutely wouldnt, no one would play, i was just having fun with the comment. That would be terrible lol

[vocal rivet]

Where was the fun?

[steel fjord]

Your response.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, so you ARE just a troll. Got it.

[wintry valve]

gawd dayum man, he was just musing on game mechanics. No need to start name calling

[rotund dust]

Its easier to have him ignored. 🙂

[steel fjord]

^ exactly that. Its a chat, its fun to poke the mechanics of people performing combat with 450kg's on them. It wasnt that deep.

[inland wraith]

I found Hildir and she keeps asking me for help at "marked locations" but I cant see anything marked at all.
Any Idea what she means?

[signal bloom]

hey some of us use troll strength mead 800kg**

[wintry valve]

Its like when I noted that the viking is the lousiest smith ever. He needs something like 300 pounds of metal to make a 4 pounds sword

[vocal rivet]

Interact with her table.

[keen trench]

did you check hertable?

[inland wraith]

now, thanks, didnt knew it

[vocal rivet]

Catches a lot of people out.

[wintry valve]

I wish the drakkar had crossbow mounts or something

Or at least some way to hit the stuff biting it without damaging the ship.

[signal bloom]

build catapult, load onto boat, profit?

[wintry valve]

Yeeeah... not quite what I was thinking

[signal bloom]

https://youtu.be/kI8YP6cjL7g?si=x8LTjf-byQh64Onp

[hazy widget]

I'm pissed now. Not only for myself, but for other players too. I can only imagine playing hardcore, and then dying to a random fireball that emerges from the lava, knocking you out.....

[vocal rivet]

Just respawn and try again.

[hazy widget]

It's not about that.

Dying to 10 charred enemies overwhelming you is fine. But dying to something completely random with no sound queue or audible indicator that can just instantly end your run.... nah.

[vocal rivet]

It can't end your run, you can always respawn.

[hazy widget]

True hardcore = deleting your save file.

[wintry valve]

Well there is a sound cue, but I admit its subtle. I got hit by that same situation once. I also reacted poorly.

[vocal rivet]

Not a game mode in Valheim fortunately.

[hazy widget]

Well yes there is a sound queue. But it happens as it's emerging, and since it emerged from insice the basalt rock I was standing on.... yeah.... wtf do I do in that situation.

[wintry valve]

Its cue, btw

I think

[vocal rivet]

Also, they don't hit that hard. Keep your HP up.

[signal bloom]

is this normal or desync?

[wintry valve]

You use basalt bombs to get your stuff back

[hazy widget]

I know

I died to it. Then I got basalt bombs to get my stuff back. Then when I was looting my dead body, it happened again.

[wintry valve]

Oh you mean like... how to dodge the fireball

[hazy widget]

Not from the damage, but it knocked me over.

[signal bloom]

are fireballs supposed to go through the basalt platforms!?

[vocal rivet]

Build bigger platforms.

[vocal rivet]

Don't think so.

[wintry valve]

yeah, just gotta be careful. Perhaps throw more basalt bombs around?

[hazy widget]

If they spawn inside the rocks, they do, but otherwise no.

Most objects in valheim only have one-way walls. The same with the rocks on the mountain.

[signal bloom]

oh weird - so basically a combo of the wonky lava terrain + being able to spawn inside the platform

[wintry valve]

Also I dunno which armor you use, but the flametal armor is a tiny bit better at dealing with lava.

[hazy widget]

Unfortunately I was mining flametal, so I had Carapace+root husk.

[wintry valve]

Might give you an extra second to throw a basalt at your feet when you fall in lava

yeah

[signal bloom]

the lava is.. weird. I wish it would flow so you could make lava moats for Ashland's bases

[hazy widget]

And fyi the armor unfortunately doesn't matter, because it's the blunt damage that knocks you over, not the fire damage.

[wintry valve]

No I mean when you fall in lava, you die quickly. Flametal makes you die slightly less in it. So you can react.

[hazy widget]

Ooooh yeah true.

But I was mining for flametal to get the armor.

[wintry valve]

Yeah. Well, try again with them bombs. You got unlucky twice, is all.

inb4 it happens a third time

[hazy widget]

Nah I deleted my save file. I vowed that if I died over 10 times, I would do it.

[wintry valve]

oh huh... well... ok

[hazy widget]

I was on 7 deaths. Died twice to the lava fireballs, and the last time, the basalt platforms went away with no audio que.

They are supposed to play an audio que, but they didn't.

[signal bloom]

I play Valheim to have fun so... not like anyone's ever going to care or appreciate some artificial difficulty restraints I've put on myself or challenges I've completed 🤷

[wintry valve]

I dont think its the right game to do these kind of challenges. This game can quickly turn sour and kill you over something you barely have control over. Then again yiu do what you want.

[hazy widget]

That's true. It happened to me during the trials of tyr thingy.

I was in first place, being in the swamp before everyone else, and I wasn't looking, and I died to a 2-starred draugr because I sunk into the little divot near a sunken crypt, and couldn't get out.

[wintry valve]

Oh man that happened to me too, but with a draugr elite. I died slowly in a watery ditch while I couldnt do anything

[sharp bluff]

one of the classic swamp deaths
doesnt quite beat the annoyance of getting sniped by a 2 star archer

[wintry valve]

At least you can block these

If you see them, that is

[sharp bluff]

thats the annoying part: snipe by a sneaky boy

[wintry valve]

I dont recall them parading in neon suits, unlike charred.

When I see a skeleton with a big sword glowing in orange, im like... oh boy

not geared for this! I only have the best gear!

[signal bloom]

those 1 star twitchers ruin my day constantly.. I swear they can't miss with their thrown BS

and they just keep chipping away or breaking my bubble when I'm getting zerged lol

[wintry valve]

oh they absolutely miss

[sharp bluff]

may i introduce you to our lord and saviour himmelafin?

[wintry valve]

The best way to deal with them, I feel, if to engage them in melee. Ranged attacks prompts them to flee.

[uneven belfry]

You are walking into those then xd

[sharp bluff]

hard melee skill checks tend to kill most annoying mobs quickly enough^^

[uneven belfry]

They miss on their own if you stay still almost as much as they hit xd

[cosmic igloo]

MORGEN IS THE BEST MOB IN THE GAME

[signal bloom]

the regular ones sure, but the 1 stars have some ridiculous tracking I swear

[uneven belfry]

Because it's "gutten"? He... Hehe... Hehehe... Xd

[wintry valve]

Once, I was fighting a 1 star charred archer. They were prepping a multishot thing. So I started running toward them.
I died instantly. I didnt know the multishot could have all the arrows hit at once.

[signal bloom]

yes!

[uneven belfry]

I'm sorry

[wintry valve]

Morgen is good to train block :V

one star morgen is not good to train block

[signal bloom]

wow this is brilliant

[uneven belfry]

It's 100% the same, they just have different base stats... Their accuracy and pathing remains

[cosmic igloo]

1. MORGEN 2. FULING BERSERKER 3. CHARRED WARRIOR

[lament hemlock]

real

[wintry valve]

I have a feeling that this guy here is being sarcastic with his favourite mob list.

[uneven belfry]

No it's not xd
If you wanna exp blocking, go into the burial chambers in black forest and find a skeleton spawner there

[wintry valve]

The reason I say they are good for blocking is just because I always block their attacks a lot. I dont do that as much with any other monster.

[sour furnace]

😭 i was mining copper with a troll and a greydwarf threw a rock at me, and instead of dodging the troll i parried the rock, and i survived with 2 hp and 0 stamina, and i was knocked into the ocean, which killed me faster than lava😭

#screenshots message

[wintry valve]

under the seaaaa

[sour furnace]

under the pudleeeee

[brisk hinge]

Is there a bug with shield generators? I'm consistently finding the same one at 0/10 and nothing has been hitting it

It's overlapped with 2 others and they stay at 10/10 as expected

[burnt glen]

Seekers >

[dusty folio]

The irony of the name 🤣

[fossil kindle]

I can’t wait to play valheim for the rest of the day

[uneven belfry]

yeah that require some practice and good perception of your surrondings, still worth it imo

[sour furnace]

aye, t'was my only death for 90 copper

[tacit crystal]

Gjall >

[nocturne wolf]

I think that in most ways morgens are very good enemies, but I don’t like how their limbs have collision.

Sometimes I get stuck on them which stops me from dodging an attack

[cosmic igloo]

nah L bugs

wow they are flying WOW omg

[cosmic igloo]

in terms of aesthetic yes

[drowsy pier]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had some good suggestions on mods to install? I was looking for some that wouldn’t be considered “cheat” mods and more so mods that enhance quality of life. I saw stuff like the dedicated armor slots but I’m not sure if that’s still up to date/working for the newest patch or not

[cosmic igloo]

but BIG bozo in terms of gameplay

[keen maple]

i just started what should i do after defeating the second boss the big tree guy?

[nocturne wolf]

What did he drop?

[keen maple]

nothing exept for the trophy

[burnt glen]

Skeletons are an auto L

[nocturne wolf]

He’s supposed to drop something more useful, look around where you killed him

[keen maple]

i killed him around 4 hours ago

[cosmic igloo]

nah charred warrior moveset has more IQ than all of mobs in mistlands

[keen maple]

what should he have dropped?

[nocturne wolf]

A key which tells you where to go next

[keen maple]

and a swamp key sorry

[cosmic igloo]

ya look for swamp biome

[nocturne wolf]

More iq because all you get is a sound to tell what attack he’s using

[cosmic igloo]

charred warrior > queen

there i said it

[nocturne wolf]

At least we can agree on that

[burnt glen]

A thrust and a swipe is the most basic shit for a warrior

[cosmic igloo]

feints

[burnt glen]

Meh, wow for the first time, then it’s whatever

[cosmic igloo]

nah it makes a world of difference

[sour furnace]

am i the only one that's really confused by the thrustswipe? they stab me for 0 damage, then do damage, then swipe outwards!

[brisk hinge]

It's a feint

[rancid echo]

Hello! What is the max number of mushroom in a patch of them? What about berries?

And what are the chances for each individual mushroom to spawn? I can't find any of this info in Unity

[nocturne wolf]

I'm testing now, and the hit seems well timed with the animation to me

[merry pebble]

I dont really know, i have seen anywhere between 1 and probably 7-9 for both 🤔 tho sometimes it may happen that there are patches of them so close you cant really tell where one ends and the second starts

[sour furnace]

well yea, it does the damge as soon as he starts yanking his sword out, not after he yanked it out

[nocturne wolf]

Just to be sure this is the same attack we're talking about, it's the thrust feint?

[merry pebble]

Ah, found it i think, mushrooms seem to have groups from 3 to 6, but i dont see berries
Edit: found that too, raspberries 3 to 8 and blueberries 1 to 8

[sour furnace]

aye, he thrusts, then yanks the sword to the right

the damage is taken right before the yank

[cosmic igloo]

here @burnt glen prime example of why charred warrior is GOATED

[sour furnace]

tbh, the timing isn't hard to get, but the lack of a realistic visual cue sucks

at least it's not a stone golem

[nocturne wolf]

The worst part of stone golems is the size of their attack hitboxes

I'm testing now and it looks like everything can block 180 degrees, not just tower shields

[near furnace]

Hm.. should be a diffrence

what shield your testing?

[nocturne wolf]

I'm testing all kinds of shields and weapons. And looking through the game files, I can't find anything to do with the held item where it checks the angles.

[near furnace]

Hm.. hidden stats? 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

None that I could find

[rancid echo]

Thank you very much! Where did you find it? I found some references to this in the ZoneManager in the vegetation group size

[merry pebble]

I used Kirilloids code dump, berries here https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/blob/89cd3891fe3e4cf150be071545694c56abd456bf/src/data/pickable.ts#L31 and mushrooms here https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/blob/main/src/data/resources.ts#L54 🙂

[sour furnace]

how skippable is the swamp?

(i'm doing a max raid rate run)

[merry pebble]

Do you mean the whole swamp or boss?

[sour furnace]

whole swamp

i hate that place

[merry pebble]

Then it really is not skipable
if you want late game gear that is

[cobalt canyon]

Oof…technically doable?

[sour furnace]

hmm, isn't it just longboat and wishbone?

[steel moat]

And iron

[cobalt canyon]

And iron

[merry pebble]

And then iron is used in better smelter

[cobalt canyon]

…

[tacit crystal]

LOTS of iron.

[cobalt canyon]

You’re talking about going up mountains with campfires alone until you get either a coat or cape

Not a pleasant time

[steel moat]

But the forge and cooking pot upgrades will hold you back late game w/out iron

[sour furnace]

oh darn, so the plan is to put down a portal and kill 2-3 leeches and make a frost resist potion?

yea, i was just hoping to get fenris before bonemass

[cobalt canyon]

No turnips means cauldron is set back

[merry pebble]

Well, that is easy, boss is entirely skippable, but the biome as a whole is really not

[sour furnace]

[steel moat]

I think the boss power alone would be reason to just rush thru swamp and get it over with, but I don’t blame you for wanting to skip it.

Then again, if you can easily kill moder, you could just come back later

[cobalt canyon]

If you lock yourself out of swamp ingredients & don’t have the cauldron level for mountain food…you’re going after Moder with, at best, cooked wolf meat and Black Forest food

Serpent meat’s out, needs iron rack

[steel moat]

And a dream

[cobalt canyon]

Fish is out, Iron for prep table

[merry pebble]

Yeah, by skipping swamp you are locking yourself out of probably the most important metal in the game

[steel moat]

Honestly swampless should be it’s own challenge run

[wet night]

are other trophies from bosses talk sometimes when put on shelf or only deer boss is doing it?

[merry pebble]

All bosses do, and so do fish

[cosmic igloo]

@wet night hey wyd in ur current playthrough?

[steel moat]

I mean I would torment the guy who cut my head off and hung it on his wall too every morning.

[merry pebble]

Not if you are Bonemass 😉

[steel moat]

Even worse, you just rip his face off

[merry pebble]

Bonemass actually thanks you for killing them 😉

[steel moat]

He just likes you cuz you almost always run his power

[merry pebble]

Unless you forget about it like i do xD

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr >

[steel moat]

Hey man I just run it, that doesn’t mean I remember to use it

[steel moat]

Eikthyr + fenris + asksvin cape >

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr + ask armor + feather cape + lightfoot mead. Max jump height, floaty jumps, and they cost 0 stamina

[merry pebble]

Eikthyr + fenris + asksvin cape/feather cape + ratatosk + lightfoot >

[steel moat]

Eikthyr + fenris + asksvin + lightfoot + horn of celebration + party of 4 😎

[wet night]

struggling with fuckin oak seed, which trolls me with not enough space to grow

can i somehow remove small tree and save an oak seed after planting it?

[wet night]

ok, because the elder wasnt speaking to me at all, even at the altar

[uneven belfry]

Yes you can destroy the other small tree with any weapon - I'd suggest regular 1handed axe MMB as it's precise and let's you hit only the target you need to

[wet night]

i clicked it with pickaxe and it just died without giving seed back

so guess its any weapon except pickaxe

[merry pebble]

It never gives back the seed

It was suggestion to give more space to the oak

[uneven belfry]

yes i meant it in a way to destroy everything around your oak to give it more space xd... maybe should have made it a bit clearer
(I did assume that by destroying a small tree to "save " the oak u had a similar thought process)

[nimble moss]

Why horn of celebration?

[dire locust]

shouldn't a level 5 cauldron be able to make dough for bread? not sure if I have a bug or not

[merry pebble]

Make food preparation table 😉

[sour furnace]

i got 14 surtling cores from just 2 rooms in a skele chamber

default drop multiplier

[rose ridge]

any updates on the deep north update?

[tranquil pike]

another update coming?

[sour furnace]

yes! in just a year or two! at least!

[merry pebble]

Nope.

[radiant pulsar]

Are global keys stored when you log out or are they reset upon world reload? E.g. setkey DungeonBuild

[merry pebble]

I know the staminarate key is stored 🤔

[radiant pulsar]

Thanks

[cosmic summit]

I love the sound of snow crunching underfoot on the mountains. Cannot wait for deep north update

[azure yacht]

no

[radiant pulsar]

Dont fancy dungeon builds Rianu? Or if not building per se allowing more structures perhaps?

I mean we can already breed chicken in caves anyway.....

[vocal rivet]

We don't need to be able to build in dungeons.

[radiant pulsar]

No thats true - I am really divided on it. Part of me wants to breathe life into them but part of me says you wouldn't want to build your house in enemy territory

[vocal rivet]

Not only that it just makes it too easy.

[radiant pulsar]

Hang on I thought nothing respawns in them once all spawners are destroyed?

[vocal rivet]

Exactly.

[radiant pulsar]

So whats to be too easy?

[vocal rivet]

You'd just be creating a completely impregnable base.

[radiant pulsar]

Ahhhh fair point

VERY fair point lol

[merry pebble]

Not like you cant basically do that to a normal base, but it takes bit more effort 🙂

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah I guess building in a dungeon involves less terraforming

[shy marlin]

Building under the elder then sealing it off is basically a dungeon

Takes maybe 15 minutes to setup

[radiant pulsar]

Or a Charred Fortress is pretty safe

[merry pebble]

Oh teraforming is not even needed 🙂 enough campfires and you are playing in peacefull mode basically

[radiant pulsar]

Another fair point

[shy marlin]

yea spawn suppression is giga easy too

[radiant pulsar]

Thats why my suggestion of building in dungeons would essentially be late game when things ARE easy lol

But I am really divided though - I cant make my mind up as Ive always done all vanilla/normal

[shy marlin]

Yea I don't see the harm in building in dungeons if it's in the late game

Reality is if you want an impentrenable base you can already make one so what's the harm

All it does is open up options and variety and new building styles 🙂

[radiant pulsar]

God I like all the points - even people that disagree lol

[merry pebble]

I would say, is there any need for it?

[shy marlin]

No need, but it's always cool to have more options and ways to play the game

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt mind, but also, really not necessary imo 🙂

[radiant pulsar]

Thats like saying is there any need to play Valheim - probably not yet we still love it 😉

Btw I ran into a Putrid Hole from Fader and his fire green acid AoE thing carried on into the Hole and I died in the hole. So dungeons are NOT safe lol

[chrome badge]

I don't think anyone argued that damage isn't possible in a dungeon 😛

[radiant pulsar]

Ahhhh I didnt know that thank you

I meant damage from one dimension to another - I didnt think it transferred

[merry pebble]

If its an effect applied to you it doesent matter if you teleport 🙂

[chrome badge]

You're still in the same instance, you're just moved underground and given time to load things in properly.

[merry pebble]

Also, dungeons are just rooms high in the sky

[radiant pulsar]

I mean I wasnt on fire in Ashlands but in the hole there was fire then I caught fire

[chrome badge]

Oh are they in the sky?

[shy marlin]

not underground but super high up in the sky but yea

[chrome badge]

I didn't know that, I now know how fruitless trying to get comfort levels up with structures outside a cave truly was 😂

[radiant pulsar]

Cool thanks for explaining

[hybrid isle]

So i stumbled upon a draugr village and within the village, i found a draugr elite that i cannot kill. It appears he spawned without a weapon, he doesnt attack me and I do 0 damage to him lmfao

[wooden tapir]

thistle respawn in the BF like berries do right? i cant remember

[shy marlin]

yup

[azure yacht]

You already can

[wooden tapir]

is it rare to find 2 drauger village pretty close to eachother?

they arent that common to begin with

like i can zoom my map all the way in and both are on the map

[tiny tiger]

Can you see them both from character pov?

[wooden tapir]

if i stand between them i might be able to, ill have to try it

[tiny tiger]

Decent spot for a tower build ?

[wooden tapir]

yea i think so

also 7 mountains on spawn island

@tiny tiger XDBieBEAGa

[dapper rain]

i think i solved the riddle of the winter child

[kind pendant]

That is odd

[dapper rain]

i'll give 1 hint: look to norse myths to find characters that are comparably exotic

[wet sinew]

I met a guy online and he said he has just killed the Queen with a black metal axe,
it actually does 2pts more damage than a black metal sword but you have to get up close and dirty....
has anyone else killed the Queen

[shy marlin]

nah no one else in the history of valheim has killed the queen

gratz to your friend for getting worlds first queen kill!

[gleaming musk]

She's the queen for a reason

[wet sinew]

Ah I thought so

[gleaming musk]

It took me a really long time and being 3 players

[wet sinew]

He was solo

[chrome badge]

The Queen is easy enough when you get her timing down, the Mistwalker and Himminafl make short work of the whole boss fight.

[gleaming musk]

The minion spawns were really annoying for me

[wet sinew]

Thanks Omni that's good info

[chrome badge]

The Himminafl has chain lightening as well as an AoE secondary swing

[shy marlin]

himmin does not have chain lightning

[chrome badge]

Ah, probably just felt that way because I hit multiple targets

[wet sinew]

yeah the Himminafl is my weapon of choice

[wet sinew]

Not chain lightning just lightning 40 damage

[chrome badge]

They know they corrected me 😂

[wet sinew]

ha ha ha 😎

[chrome badge]

There are many ways to defeat the Queen, but it can be as simple as focusing adds when necessary, and rolling through her attacks at the proper times 👍

[wet sinew]

Yeah well I'm just getting ready for the boss fight, I'm still not sure if I go for magic or blunt/slash

[shy marlin]

Queen is def easier on mage tbh

just run around at the top of the citadel and hit her with fireballs at range it's that simple

[wet sinew]

With magic did you have good skills? mine are < 20 atm

[shy marlin]

doesn't matter

[chrome badge]

Skills won't often make the difference you think they do, you can operate perfectly well with 0 skill levels

[wet sinew]

okay good to know tnks

[shy marlin]

yea, skills are just a "nice to have"

[nimble moss]

I’ve seen very very rare instances of a goblin in the plains with this same issue; no weapon and not kill able, but didn’t attack me either.

No mods etc.

So yeah; I believe this although I’ve never seen it on an Elite before.

[wintry valve]

I mean there is a difference between a skill level of 0 and 100

especially for bows

[chrome badge]

I don't know where anyone said they won't make a difference.

[wintry valve]

I guess you didnt. You just said something "adjacent" to that.

Sorry, I just misunderstood

[chrome badge]

All good

[wintry valve]

is it me or the himminifitafi or whatever its called isnt all that great?

People told me to try it in the ashland and I struggle at killing stuff with it

[hybrid isle]

Yeah, i dont know what the cause of this is, ive never used mods and i too have never seen this happen. He is now my follower, my invincible pet zombie. I put him in a little hut and i named him Crug

[chrome badge]

I switched to the Crystal Battleaxe because I felt the same, and the Crystal Battleaxe is amazing at pushing crowds back while doing spirit damage.

[wintry valve]

right, after I said that, I did a spinning move and I was like "oh... thats why they told me to use this"

[prime fulcrum]

i was watching some larva and i noticed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Q9O6EcFrg

2:34 isn't that the sound of copper getting mined or something i heard from valheim

oh wait it's the sound from when breaking a smelter or kiln?

[uneven belfry]

Polearms loose a lot of DPS in Ashlands but the spin-to-win part remains

[gray sand]

As opposed to tightening DPS?

[smoky saddle]

Hello👋

[lean minnow]

So I have not been looking at anything Valheim for half a year - What was the hope for Deep north release? Was it next year? 😮

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing has been announced yet

[lean minnow]

Oh alrighty, thank you Blobicycake. 😄 I was just curious, so excited!

[fair turtle]

A boar will swim for 30 minutes across the sea to hurt me while floating on a raft

hello, is there a way to turn my local private server to a hosted 24/7 open server ? and how

[azure yacht]

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

[wet night]

wiki says that there could be 2 wraiths max randomly spawning at night in swamp

and i just killed third in the same night. No wraith spawner near

[nocturne wolf]

Three can spawn in one night, the limit is for how many are active at the same time

[fading field]

anyone playing immersive mode? got any tips on base location and such?

[merry pebble]

And its 2 per zone i am pretty sure

[wet night]

i fought 3 in same zone

[merry pebble]

Are you sure? The borders are non visible, + there can be wraiths spawned in one time poi spawn points which are not bound by the limit.

[wet night]

ok then, if borders are not visible and 2 separate swamp zones can just exist close together without being divided by other type of zone then yes, it is possible that i just got third wraith from different zone

[merry pebble]

Zones are only 64m x 64m, so in most cases biomes are made up of many zones 🙂

[keen trench]

wiki says wraith respawn time is 3m20s, way less than 9, so it could also be a respawn in the same zone before dawn right?

[merry pebble]

Indeed, also that is what Blob said 🙂

[keen trench]

ups right, didn't see 🤦‍♂️ 😁

[lunar sapphire]

Just a reminder that asking for people to buy you the game / provide additional funds so you can buy the game is against this server's rules.

[wet night]

so i can't ask people to buy me the game, even if it doesnt make any difference for developers who are just getting their money?

[lunar sapphire]

12. Do not beg for free keys in the channels, nor in direct messages. (For press/influencer keys, email [e-mail])

[wet night]

what if i switch my pronounces to buyme/thegame?

[keen trench]

[wet night]

god damn, oak tree trolls me again. When i finally managed to plant it correctly and then waited million days for it to grow

branches are in wrong directions!

I assume there is no way to predict the branches in a moment of planting

[keen trench]

yup, that's a challenging tree to manage, i'm not sure if there is a way, i would say yes since the tree model is fixed and you can rotate the sapling befor planting.. still i gave up about that and sacrificed a couple square meters of cultivation for looks

[wet night]

yeah, i also saw that i can rotate small tree when planting but its impossible to see anything from that

[keen trench]

sapling model actually has a little longer branch one one side, wich could match the adult tree model direction, very unsure about this and could take some time-consuming testing

[wet night]

is it possible to plant 2 oak trees close together?

[keen trench]

it's the tree that requires the most space, must be at least 6m (3 wood beams) apart, and same distance far from anything (other plants, bushes, rocks, structures etc.) will look quite close to each other tho when they grow

[lapis basin]

Is there a group by chance looking for some new members? I plan on Xbox and been playing solo for so long wondering if there's anyone out there it wouldn't mind running together

Im playing on a series s. It worked pretty well until Mistlands (6th biome). At that point performance suffered heavily. I moved my world to a dedicated server and I have not had performance issues since.

[tacit crystal]

In case you want it (while Blackmetal axe would suffice too), it requires 10 refined eitr, 15 iron, 1 bilebag and 5 yggdrasil wood.

[dapper rain]

does the name 'valheim' have something to do with 'valhalla'?

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[dapper rain]

like, is odin upgrading from some longhouses in asgard to an entire realm in secret?

[gray sand]

Have you played the game?

[dapper rain]

yes. odin spys on post-mortals struggling at length to solve problems he could remedy in minutes

[gray sand]

No.

[merry pebble]

Have read the text you get when entering a world with new character?

[dapper rain]

yes, i know what the game text says. or rather, what odin is basically telling you

what odin is saying stands in contrast with what odin is doing, however

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[merry pebble]

Then you know why we are in Valheim and what it is.

[dapper rain]

the part that confuses me is the text suggesting yggdrasil itself is in danger

that should be prompting response from the gods most expressly

[gray sand]

It isn't suggesting.
It is stating.

The response is sending us.

[lofty valley]

Yoav bar in discord channel Eikthyrs altar is saying the N word quietly

[gray sand]

Send a message to @dusky pivot

[merry pebble]

Well, the other 9 worlds not the tree itself really.

[gray sand]

Tree itself.

[merry pebble]

And which part would that be?

[gray sand]

It talks about strain/cracking of the tree itself, no?

[dapper rain]

ya well, 300+ hours later, assuming we're still playing the game, we crawl through stone age to jotunn-brain age to get arsed enogh to murder god-level beasties on dude's behalf. sounds like a plan

[merry pebble]

Not the starting text, no.

[dapper rain]

300 in-game hours, which seem implied to be considerably more in-world duration

[gray sand]

It is the plan.
And unless you suck at killing bosses, the plan works.

[dapper rain]

i guess so. screw those other realms

[gray sand]

?

[dapper rain]

who needs to hurry. or have assurance of success.

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

Imagine thinking time passes the same in all realms to the point the concept of "hurry" is applied.

[dapper rain]

theyre literally falling apart. hurry is sorta implied

[cosmic igloo]

lmfao what

[dapper rain]

lore conclusion: odin is actually staging all the story events, and valheim is just a purgatory before admittance to valhalla

[merry pebble]

And you read that.... where exactly?

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️ I'm done trying. Losing too many braincells lowering myself to this conversation.

[cosmic igloo]

quietly ahahah is he just muttering it to himself randomly?

[dapper rain]

well i guess the realms would survive if yggdrasil doesnt?

worked for valheim itself

[merry pebble]

Since Yggdrasil isnt dying why would the worlds die?

[dapper rain]

you contradict what you yourself said not too long ago

[merry pebble]

Please show me where 🙂

[dapper rain]

ok well, this message addressing what you said

[merry pebble]

Not my message 😉

[gray sand]

Please do not ping me. I am out of this conversation.

[dapper rain]

you didnt refute it

[merry pebble]

If you would read the next 2 or 3 mesaages after that please...

[dapper rain]

i see no refute

unless i specifically knew better, i'd assume anything going particularly wrong with the world tree should just be taken seriously as such, regardless

[merry pebble]

Btw Sev, found what you were refering to with the branches of Yggdrasil cracking and stuff, its a runestone from black forest. They are straining since the Forsaken are calling them to reach to Valheim once again. 🙂 But no indication of the whole tree being in danger, only the worlds that experience it as "...quakings of the earth, great storms and holy fires."
(And sorry for bringing you back in once more 😅 )

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message

[dapper rain]

since when is visible cracking on the branches/roots of any tree considered a good thing

if its affecting all the worlds, its not just some dumb branch snap

[merry pebble]

And since when are we talking about the visuals of them

[dapper rain]

either odin doesnt care about the danger, is aware that its not really a danger, or else simply assumes its inevitable

the latter possibility makes for an interesting allusion

it would also answer for why the gods themselves arent bothering to deal with the forsaken

[merry pebble]

And we are back at this again... Odin is sending us to stop the Forsaken which are causing the world tree to spread its branches to Valheim, thus making them crack and being strained.

[dapper rain]

and again, odin's plan assumes a lone human is a good and timely substitute for necessitated divine intervention

the only exception to this rule i can think of is if its implied that many humans are all working in parallel - knowlingly, cooperatively, or otherwise - to try to deal with forsakens

they still taking their sweet time, though

anyway, if valheim is just valhalla 2.0, then odin is running the draft in overdrive. there's probably only 1 reason for that

[keen trench]

lore reference to a "lone human" nowhere to be found,
"best of their warriors >> they will be born again" in plain sight, at start..
many references to other humans that were there before and even settled and built villages scattered all around in runestones..

Concerning Yggdrasyl healt, it seems pretty in shape since not just it's fine but also rumbling with vital force to reconnect to a world cut off "ages" before.

Really struggling to find what could be unclear about this..

[gray sand]

but also rumbling with vital force to reconnect to a world

This is what we are there to stop.

[light moat]

Why does everyone think Odin is up to no good? 😅

[dapper rain]

because he's a creepy spoi and probably because of god of war

[light moat]

How is he creepy? 🤔

[late tinsel]

I just got 5 stacks of iron, what should I make first?

[merry pebble]

Nails 🙂

[late tinsel]

what next

[merry pebble]

Probably upgrades and then pick

[shy marlin]

Stonecutter if you're a builder

Also gets you an upgrade yea

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah, and in that you can get another upgrade 😄

[late tinsel]

I live in a 3x5 shack

[merry pebble]

-# beat me to it xD

[gray sand]

First 10 iron goes to Nails.

[shy marlin]

Stonecutter also allows you to get more comfort

[late tinsel]

done

[gray sand]

Forge Upgrades.

That'll run you like 90.

[dapper rain]

best use of iron is to upgrade your weapon and forget to be in the upgrade tab

[late tinsel]

I only have like 95

guess I'll go back to swamps

[merry pebble]

Well... forge upgrades use 35 iron 😄

[gray sand]

5 stacks is 150.
150 - 10 = 140
How have only 95?

[late tinsel]

wait huh, oh

they're 30, I thought they were 20

[shy marlin]

there's a 20 and there's a 15

[gray sand]

<Shrek "you thought wrong" gif here>

[gray sand]

Anvil isn't 30? Huh, weird.

[shy marlin]

I had to check too when i saw asatru said the number was 35, didn't believe it

[merry pebble]

Even if it was then it would be 45 😄

[gray sand]

45 is "like 90" 😏

[shy marlin]

It's just 45*2 😏

[merry pebble]

I am sad, but on the other hand i also like to check everything myself so i understand 😄

[late tinsel]

what are minimum requirements for bonemass

[shy marlin]

Not because i don't trust you but it was more of like wait it's that low?

[gray sand]

Dodging.
He's a very-telegraphed, zero-damage fight.

[merry pebble]

10 whithered bones 😄

[shy marlin]

If you want maximum success rate with the minimal amount of resources it's probably iron mace and poison resist

[gray sand]

Iron Mace and food.
You shouldn't need resist at all.

[shy marlin]

I agree but new players seem to struggle with the poison part of bonemass

[merry pebble]

Also its very cheap 🙂

[gray sand]

He doesn't have a poison part unless you have a reaction time that is slower than a full second 😄

[late tinsel]

[shy marlin]

Tough

[gray sand]

And since average humans have a react time of 0.3s...

[late tinsel]

that's rough buddy

[shy marlin]

have you ever been in traffic

[gray sand]

Given my job is driving... 😏

[shy marlin]

😏 well then you should know that dudes be sitting at green lights for full seconds

[late tinsel]

they're distracted

the other day someone was sitting at the green for like 6 seconds

[shy marlin]

people are also distracted while fighting bonemass

[late tinsel]

troll armor, bronze helmet, iron mace

[merry pebble]

Can 100% be done 🙂

[gray sand]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[late tinsel]

deer meet stew, carrot soup, and minced meat sauce

[nocturne wolf]

Have you got turnips yet?

[gray sand]

Previous biome food.

[late tinsel]

I looked, couldn't find any

[nocturne wolf]

Without turnips, you can’t make good food in future biomes because it makes a cauldron improvement

[late tinsel]

I'll look again

[late tinsel]

went around the entire swamp didn't find a single one

[nocturne wolf]

Find another entire swamp then. These turnips are very important

[tepid prawn]

they are a bit hard to see as well

[pliant hatch]

If the Sadistic Number Generator is working against you, you will spend many hours to find one turnip plant, giving you 3 seeds.
Since you will need more, you will have to plant them, then harvest, plant them to get seeds - which will give you 9 of those - plant them again to get turnips and after doing that again, having you ending up with 81 turnips, you will run into 4-5 plants within the hour.

Not trying to be pessimistic here, but very realistic.

Unfortunately.

[wintry valve]

the moment you have 18 of them, you could start using some

you dont need so many all at once

this aint stardew valley

[merry pebble]

I like to make around stack before actually using them 🙂 but that may be since i like to make food in large batches

[opaque bobcat]

rue and real

[merry pebble]

And often i will wait till i have more than a hundred

[opaque bobcat]

nothing irks me then running out of 1 of the 3 foods because i didnt take a whole stack for all 3

[wintry valve]

im the same, honestly

[pliant hatch]

I usually start growing when I have 3 or more seeds.
As soon as I have 3 veggies, plant them so I get 9 seeds. Plant those again to get 9 veggies, replant to get 27. By then I'm making my first 2-3 batches of food and plant the rest for seeds / veggies. Or if I still got a load of my previous foods, plant the 27 again to get 81 seeds, plant 41 of those and use the other 40 to make 10 of both foods if its carrots or turnips.

Once I got that, I usually plant in a 50/50 setting, store about 100 seeds in a chest in case of emergency and plant 20 veggies for seeds as backup.
So eventually my field has 20 seed carrots, 20 seed turnip and 20 seed onions growing.

[lucid jay]

I'm in a fight with bonemass but died and lost all my stuff. Can someone help me get it back and fight him?

[pliant hatch]

These guys and galls can: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[dapper rain]

so if odin isnt dealing with forsakens personally to save yggdrasil in a timely manner, he must be using human warriors to do it so they can become a fighting force

smells like ragnarok

here's a wild theory: what if norse myth is cyclic, and ragnaroks happen repeatedly?

players resurrect as much as they want in valheim, but they always possess the telltale glowey eyes of undeadness

[wintry valve]

im pretty sure ragnarok is meant to be a new cycle of the world

[dapper rain]

it looks like practically all of the denizens of valheim have the same glowy eyes, including odin

[wintry valve]

as in, its how them norse imagined it. The worlds are cleansed away of everything and life begins anew.

[dapper rain]

though it seems suggested to be repeatable

if thats the case, valheim could very well be valhalla 2.0

[rotund bay]

we make a great hall
we feast and fight to our hearts are content

[chrome badge]

Yggdrasil isn't in danger, Valheim was severed from it ages ago, Odin just doesn't want his Prison to become a haven for those he banished, so he sent us to break apart the growing forces and diminish any strength they've acquired. 👍

[dapper rain]

theres a mention that whatever force is trying to reconnect yggdrasil to valheim is causing the tree to be damaged, which in turn is hurting other realms

[chrome badge]

Hmm, I've never come across anything like that

[dapper rain]

Look to the sky where mighty Yggdrasil reaches out, called by the Forsaken Ones to join itself once more with this wayward world. It is a glorious sight but a dreadful one. For as the great tree bends out across the void, its branches strain and crack, felt in the remaining nine worlds as quakings of the earth, great storms and holy fires. The Forsaken must be slain and balance restored.

[gray sand]

Why is this conversation still going.... 😦

[dapper rain]

just to annoy you

[gray sand]

Noted. Blocked.

[chrome badge]

People can't chat in a chat channel?

[gray sand]

Crap... now I have 2 people blocked here 😦

[dapper rain]

i guess its possible yggdrasil wouldnt be destroyed, but if there was any event that could kickstart a ragnarok, this sure sounds like it

[chrome badge]

Oh no, blocked by someone with a hair trigger, whatever shall I do 🤣

[gray sand]

I did not block you Omni.

[chrome badge]

I honestly don't know if I've ever come across this Runestone, thanks for pointing this out. The world I play in was made when the game originally came out so I've done very little to generate more Black Forest biomes.

[chrome badge]

Ah, welp

[dapper rain]

im not even sure what else is supposed to happen if valheim does rejoin yggdrasil. most races are so dead or diminished they dont seem like theyre capable of being invading forces

with the exclusive exception of the bugs, if only they ever left their biome

[chrome badge]

It sounds like it's being actively stopped by Odin, but he is probably tired of breaking away at Yggdrasil and wants to stop the problem at the source.

I would imagine it's not dire in any case, or he would just personally see to the problem.

[dapper rain]

theres lore mentions of the gods (including loki with his fire) basically committing genocide on valheim in ages past to strike down races that try to build up

they obviously dont seem too bothered with pest control

[chrome badge]

Yeah, the Ashlands lore is so metal 🤘

[dapper rain]

actually i think ashlands was sorta an exception

|| fader sorta did that work himself ||

[tepid prawn]

who knows who is behind all this, could be Loki for all we know

[dapper rain]

apparently its the || winter child ||, if the yggdrasil problem isnt solved after defeating fader

[chrome badge]

I suppose but the Valkyrie, Hugin & Mugin are indicative to a degree.

[tepid prawn]

||the winter child could be loki or some other god in some form, and yeah I think personally winter child is behind a lot of what has been going on all across the Valheim discworld||

[dapper rain]

a lore stone indicated that || fader went mad and basically started becoming destructive just by being within proximity to the winter child ||

[tepid prawn]

and I strongly believe we will find out anything about this in the Deep North update, we will probably go AHHHH

[dapper rain]

i think i already know who the winter child is

[tepid prawn]

devs have said there will be an "end", a "conclusion" of sorts to the game once we are in 1.0

[tepid prawn]

we can all speculate, can be fun

I mean we have a Queen, a King (sort of 2 kings actually), a Father and a Mother, so of course we do need a child haha

[chrome badge]

Winter child itself does seem to hint at being Loki, as he is a Frost Giant and taken in as a child

[tepid prawn]

||vinterbarn could be the boss or something else in DN, thats winter child in swedish according to google translate haha||

also speculation is best for ptb chat imo, as it can be less spoilery there

[dapper rain]

i have a hunch valheim is attempting to implement norse mythology before christian censorship had its way with it. loki in that version was actually a fire wielder

ptb chat?

[tepid prawn]

the chat for public testers of new content

[chrome badge]

Not everyone has that role so I'm sure it's fine

[tepid prawn]

#valheim-public-test If you don't see it you don't have read all of the discord on how to become a tester

[chrome badge]

I was massively spoiled by what comes in with the Ashlands just by glancing at this chat a couple months ago

[dapper rain]

do they discuss lore there? seems more relegated to game dev stuff

[chrome badge]

People just said oh well and moved on lol

[tepid prawn]

we do, when there is no new content for testing, then it changes

[dapper rain]

anyway loki in original norse myth (i guess religion at that point) was apparently fire-affinity, maybe in the same vein as surtr?

i wish someone could verify that

[tepid prawn]

I do not know a lot about all that stuff, but other people on my server do haha

[dapper rain]

valheim mentions loki using fire magic, so i guess what we presume to know of popularized norse myth might be inapplicable to valheim

[chrome badge]

If what I'm sourcing is correct, originally Loki was depicted as the God of Fire and Mischief

[tepid prawn]

also I'm rewatching Vikings on Netflix and so many things look like Valheim like the coal hanging braziers and things, so fun haha

[chrome badge]

Vikings is so incredible, even Vikings Valhalla is pretty good

[dapper rain]

is it possible to be both a frost giant and a fire god? what the hell even is loki

[chrome badge]

I suppose there are some nuances to being taken in by Odin, because there are many gifts bestowed by Odin in the form of abilities

[tepid prawn]

Is it possible to be a fearless fallen valkyrie with razorsharp melee attacks and strong magic at the same time? 😛

[dapper rain]

also apparently producing apocalyptic offspring being among them

[hidden gorge]

neither are real, so its up to whatever you can imagine

[tepid prawn]

Thats only true because Odin is the only politician to be true to his word, he said he would end frost giants and he did! /insertthatmeme

[chrome badge]

I believe the question was pertaining to the original stories/myths, not so much how we interpret them

[chrome badge]

I need to ask as well, Ragnar or Bjorn

[tepid prawn]

in terms of fave char?

Floki 4eva 😛

[chrome badge]

Ah you're one of those! I like Floki people 🙂

[hidden gorge]

yes is too dull an answer. they are not real, so whether they are possible or not is a matter of imagination -- if you (or any storyteller) can imagine it, then it is possible

[tepid prawn]

I am indeed 🙂

[dapper rain]

i think loose interpretations of norse myth might have become a bit saturated since marvel

[chrome badge]

Big agree

[tepid prawn]

also in terms of lore and whatever will happen in DN --- LET THEM COOK

[dapper rain]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ad0i2z/how_much_do_we_actually_know_about_the_ancient/

[chrome badge]

Whatever happens, we can be sure about one thing, it'll be cold 😎

[dapper rain]

in theory. we already have a cold biome. seems redundant to have another

[hidden gorge]

in theory, we already have a biome with trees, seems redundant to have another

oh wait....

[chrome badge]

I mean, if we're absolutely fine running about naked in the Deep North, that'll be really strange

[dapper rain]

whats your point?

[hidden gorge]

that line of reasoning is a bit silly, no?

[steel tree]

I'm imagining the deep north will be so cold it will make the mountains seem like cozy meadows in comparison

[dapper rain]

if trees and cold were the only points to note

[hidden gorge]

yeah I'm curious what the weather will be -- there's a couple things that grant the player electric resistance, but nothing yet that does electric damage? perhaps there'll be roving lightning storms or something?

[dapper rain]

that would also be a good way to punish everyone who committed all their special ashlands weapons to be lightning element only

imagine a biome full of lightning resistant mobs

[chrome badge]

Freezing could be an interesting evolution of the cold, taking damage overtime was a little underwhelming with the cold status.

[dapper rain]

i'm just assuming everyone else also ends up using the || lightning gems for their weapons, since its the only thing thats consistently damaging against ashlands mobs ||

[chrome badge]

It's a totally fair assumption, I just hope certain damage types get some sort of attention with the new weaponry/ammunitions

Mainly fire

Explosive crossbow bolts would be awesome, and it'd be neat if we had to explode ice barriers to enter DN's dungeons

[visual granite]

does the fire rain in ashlands deplete shield generators?

[visual granite]

i was just thinking about that the other day, thought "surely someone suggested this already"

[chrome badge]

I hope it happens, we have the means for explosive weaponry now technically

[visual granite]

and theres already explosive projectiles for another weapon

[radiant rock]

so what are the next steps after defeating fire head yalgruth. i got wisps but not sure what to do from there

do i just head to the mistlands

[maiden seal]

Go to the mistlands and look for dverger towers on the coast once you find one set up a portal outside and lure enemies to get them killed or kill the dvergers themselves they have a item you need to progress

[tacit crystal]

Go in and search anything you find. You will eventually find everything you need to process.

good morning guys i want to find someone who wants to play valheim with me i beat the game 7 time and my uncle doesnt want to play anymore till north update so if someone is new or doenst have friends to play with like me text me

yup sorry, halfway coffee 😬 ... the uneven stones thing always bugged me a bit, didn't notice they fixed it, and i actually got a post Ashlands world, did't play much on it 🤦‍♂️ 😁

maybe i delete it to declutter screenshot channel?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[smoky saddle]

Anything I need to know before heading into the plains? Working towards getting max wolf gear and we have got plenty of silver to smelt to max it

[nocturne wolf]

The enemies in tar pits are dangerous, but they will attack other enemies in the plains.

[smoky saddle]

Thanks. I shall offer fulings and likewise as sacrifices to the tar pits

[worn bolt]

and maybe get a frostner too if ya dont have one yet, its great for keeping those little hehehaheheha's at bay

[smoky saddle]

Frostner is awesome

[uneven belfry]

iron agier is another great choice

[nocturne wolf]

Flesh rippers are great for fuling berserkers

[uneven belfry]

spin-to-win allows you to stagger everthing in plains (not always with 1 spin sometimes it requires 2 depending on the HP pool of the mob and your skill lvl)

[uneven belfry]

only downside is that it struggles with the tar blobs in the tar pits - but thats where the frostner shines

[nocturne wolf]

That is where the fuling camp shines*

[merry pebble]

Everything on 1 hit except starred mobs 😄

[uneven belfry]

yeah i just wanted to warn him to take in account the HP of those big mobs not to be upset after not staggering in 1 spin - and then blaming that on us claiming it would "always" work

[eager umbra]

In my personall experience going close up with the frostner is not that easy
I prefer oneshoting them with fire magic

[nocturne wolf]

The fire magic you don't have until after plains?

[uneven belfry]

1. Skill issue - just circle around them, and walk up right after they spit
2. The guy asked about entering the plains for the first time, he doesn't have magic unlocked yet

[eager umbra]

Ups mb i didnt see the initial Question
-# and skillissue is probably true 😂

[cosmic igloo]

u can also kite tars to nearest fuling camp or loxes

[knotty ocean]

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind

[uneven belfry]

And the "circle around" works even with just walking - you don't have to sprint

• disclaimer I never wear full heavy set so maybe with enough -% movement speed you can't... But I did that with crystal battleaxe too so the wolf set+frostner (-15% movement should still work)

[smoky saddle]

Are tar blobs the plains equivalent of the gooey bois in swamps? As in, they do poison damage?

[uneven belfry]

They do poison dmg, and some physical, and they cover the target in tar and their attack animation is different - they spit tar at range

[smoky saddle]

Ah ok

[uneven belfry]

Try getting poison resist mead and allowing ONE to hit you just to try how it feels
If you try that with multiple at once you will most likely die, but you can try messing around with one just for Ur own science purposes

[smoky saddle]

Yeah I was debating using one of them along with the root mask. That combo did really well against bonemass' poison attacks

[uneven belfry]

And my best way of getting out alive if you get hit by that spit is just dodgerolling away (requires having a stamina mead ready)

As the "tarred" effect slows you down enough for the blobs to chase you down and recharge their attack. But the dodgeroll animation still moves you the same distance - allows you to get far enough away if you have enough stamina to roll multiple times in qucik succession

[smoky saddle]

Ill keep that in mind 👍

[uneven belfry]

I did that at first too

• but after some practice the posion resist will be obsolete as you will just learn how to not get hit by them at all

[uneven belfry]

• they deal both physical and posion, so a padded helmet will probably give you better protection than root mask (posion is reduced by armor value too)

[worn bolt]

i remember almost dying on my first Yagluth fight because of these little minigun blobs, they hit like a truck

[smoky saddle]

Ive got plans to head to moder first but ill need to head through plains to get there

[opal prairie]

A bow works wonders against the blobs, snipe one from far away, the rest will aggro and you can dodge roll when they shoot at you and plink an arrow in them while they recharge.

[opal prairie]

Can't post poems in fanart so I'll post it here:

Bees
In a meadow fresh with morning dew.
Happy bees hum a song so true.
Golden sun on petals bright.
Guides their dance from dawn to night.

Buzzing softly, swift they glide.
Nature's painters, side by side.
Crafting honey, sweet and new.
A liquid gold in sunlight's hue.

Joyful workers, hearts so free.
Building dreams in hive and tree.
Behold their harmony in every flight.
Bees bring sweetness, pure delight.

[rotund bay]

Is there a mod for character inventory increase? I'm on Xbox

[trail pelican]

i don't know if console can get mods or if they're different, but on PC definitely seen mods that do that

[little sand]

Well I'm on a valheim.thunderstorm.io website and xbox gamepass is one of the options

[opal prairie]

#mods-discussion is probably the best place to ask such things.
You'll have a quicker and generally a more accurate answer.

[jolly bison]

hello, i saw this trader with a cloth icon and went to them
is there something i can give them for a quest or stuff because they said "if u can get some things for me i will help you"

[light moat]

There should be a map on a table, interaction with that 😁

[jolly bison]

ahh okie

[light moat]

And don’t forget to put a portal by her

[jolly bison]

gotcha

thank you

so i go to those places and get stuff for her and come back to her?

[light moat]

You’re welcome! Yep, take care though- it’s a challenge

[wet night]

how to create that cracking fire sound? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjXCrdNH5h8&t=15s

my firepit doesn't make it

[jolly bison]

that does this "Rune" do? also im in bronze age so i assume its too mcuh for me?

[light moat]

Rune? Yeah, if you’re in Bronze Age, I would recommend starting with the smoldering tomb. The others will be too difficult.

[jolly bison]

It says "Rune" on a stone, cant interact or anything

[nocturne wolf]

You can't do anything with that

[light moat]

Oh, yeah it’s just for looks

[nocturne wolf]

Howling caverns generate in mountains and sealed towers generate in plains, so only go to those places once you have equipment from those biomes

[jolly bison]

i see

i cant send images here but i discovered the place for elder and it was so far away so i had to sail to it

i came accross swamp and plains along the way, but seemed too scary

[light moat]

Yeah, they’re normally pretty far out. You can send images in screenshots or Valheim Help.

[nocturne wolf]

If you're ready to fight the elder you'll be strong enough for swamps (if you also have poison resistance mead), but you should avoid plains

[jolly bison]

i dont think im ready at all, i finally maxed out my bronze armour and i have some tools

[nocturne wolf]

Swamps are the biome after black forest, so there is no progression between killing the elder and getting started in swamps.

[light moat]

How’s your diet? Make sure you’re making mead as well

[jolly bison]

i now have cooked boar cooked deer and cooked neck tail but i make boar stew instead

[light moat]

Hmmm yeah, you’re going to want to make some better food 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

You should only be using food made at a cauldron, and it's generally a bad idea to use three foods with the same main stat

[light moat]

Make sure you have a good carrot farm too

[jolly bison]

thanks ^^

[hidden gorge]

"only" is too strong a word. cauldron food is "generally" better than campfire food, but not always, and also, oven food is generally superior than cauldron food.

also, triple stat foods are fantastic when you are doing things that heavily require that one stat. Health is prolly the least useful of the three, but tripling up on stamina or magic can be really, really good

[tiny tiger]

I think he was just tryna simplify for a player that is at Black Forest - swamp stage of the game, pretty much every cauldron food is better than campfire food at that stage of the game

[signal bloom]

so I found a good spot to look for 2 star Askvins I think, usually has 3-4 in a small area that spawn normally however....

everytime I go at night there's at least a mogren or Valkyrie that show up and sometimes both and it ends up taking the whole night cycle to down em

[light moat]

Yeah, it can be tricky to capture the elusive 2-star Asksvin! I remember dealing with a lot of those big monsters when I got mine.

Best thing you can do is kinda find that rythym that works for you to take them down as quickly as possible

[signal bloom]

yeah I'm starting to get the rhythm but they have so much HP. Haven't found a good way to deal damage to valk it's just a tad too high off the ground to consistently hit with my 2H

even after a parry I usually wiff at air for the follow up swings

I've seen my friend shred them with dundr, alas we need to raid more cause we got no more lightning gems lol

[light moat]

Yeah, totally get it. I think what I did was initiate the fight with a lightning bow dealing the crit damage. When she does her claw attack, parrry and get in hits with my Dyrnwyn. When she flew back up, just pelted her with arrows. Repeat until dead.

Oh man, yeah whiffing those attacks is really annoying, totally get it 😂

[signal bloom]

ooh I need to get that weapon still!!

[light moat]

It’s really cool looking! It’s not especially powerful or anything, but it’s reliable.

Think it might be tied with my favorite weapon in the game 🤔

[signal bloom]

ooh what's that?

[light moat]

Frostner, might still be my number 1. lol

[signal bloom]

that things so amazing lol

[light moat]

I really value weapons that are unique, look great, and have an interesting means of obtaining them.

I think if Dyrnwyn had just a little more unique effects, it would be my #1

#building-screenshots message @young osprey this is crazy cool! I’ll have to watch the video later, but the screenshots are fantastic? Any other mods besides plant everything?

Or actually, guess you can plant those bushes using dev commands 🤔

[tacit crystal]

I have 3 runs where I've gotten 2 star Asksvin captured and tamed. First time (during PTB) it took around 15ish nights to encounter one. Second time one appeared after 2nd night and third time (last week) it appeared randomly near a fortress I had just cleared without trying to look out for one and I acted fast to dig a pit and lure it there and it started taming process just before the night ended.

[fair turtle]

Why is the wind always going the opposite direction I am sailing???

[light moat]

My first encounter was like my 2nd or 3rd night in the PTB Ashlands, I didn’t even know they could be tamed at the time haha
Second encounter, randomly stumbled upon while in was getting started on a taming pit, and I panicked and died lol.
Third time was the charm! Took like 7 nights after the unfortunate 2nd encounter.

[wet night]

how to create that cracking fire sound? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjXCrdNH5h8&t=15s
my firepit doesn't make it

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, panic can make things different lol. They hit hard, first time it almost killed me but used the Bonemass power after taking 1 or 2 hits.

[wet night]

if you are making a circle around an island then naturally at some moment wind is going to be against you. In other scenarios its easy to forget about times when wind was good and focus only on times where it was against you, thats how human brain works - easly remembers bad things

[fair turtle]

Not lately

I go back and forth between my homeland and another island to farm tin and copper

Wind has gone against me both on the way their and back

[wintry valve]

nah, game is clearly conspiring

Im thinking of them forsaken powers, and im wondering. When would one use yagluth's power?

[tiny tiger]

Perfect for getting some dvergr extractors other than that not much else lol

Particularly useful against the starred mages

Basically everything else though bonemass is clearly the superior resistance power

[wintry valve]

maybe against fader? I feel like bonemass is still better then

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if deep north will bring the introduction of primarily elemental mobs to give it some more use, yeah fader you’re still better off with bonemass and a fire resistance potion + root harnesk for pierce resist

[wintry valve]

would the scale shield be a good substitute for pierce resist?

[tiny tiger]

You can almost kill him in a single bonemass power cycle, probably could with berserker mead and some luck with his attacks

I’ve not tried the scale shield but I imagine it would still work well since you don’t miss out on not being able to parry

[raven heron]

are tower shields useful at all

[tiny tiger]

More so in co op play and against bosses where parrying isn’t really useful

[wintry valve]

I wish parrying would slow bosses a bit

[nocturne wolf]

Scale shield stacks with other sources of pierce reistance because it's applied before blocking instead of after

[tiny tiger]

I guess tower shields could also have a use case for trapping enemies in holes such as wolves to tame them

[raven heron]

didnt know it had pierce resist

[tiny tiger]

Only scale shield does (out of the shields)

[wintry valve]

tower shields, out of bosses, are useful against many enemies. It is difficult to parry a lot of enemies at once so blocking can become an attractive option. It also manages your stamina better.

[nocturne wolf]

Holding the S key is even better for stamina

[tiny tiger]

I’d say the best weapon for tower shields is the spear too

[wintry valve]

I think them tower shields also pushes enemies more when you block but im not sure.

[nocturne wolf]

Mace works well because of the high stagger on the secondary attack

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it does

[wintry valve]

I wish we could block and poke like in elden ring, with spears.

[nocturne wolf]

They have much higher block force, which is knockback applied when blocking

[wintry valve]

also good news: I just reached level 74 in axes

[tiny tiger]

Oh damn

[wintry valve]

I now possesses fathomable power

[tiny tiger]

Berserker axes go brrrr

[jolly bison]

is it a good idea going to the swamps or plains with full bronze armour and tools

[wintry valve]

swamps

plains is a bit later

[nocturne wolf]

You won't have anything stronger before going into swamps

[jolly bison]

i havent beat the elder yet, i had to travel a really long distance by sail to reach the area, is that common?

[nocturne wolf]

I've had to do it a few times

[jolly bison]

im starting to see 2 star monsters

[nocturne wolf]

More loot

[wintry valve]

You are supposed to kill the elder before going into the swamps

theres a way to circumvent that but, eh

and yes, you have to travel a lot in this game. Its part of its charm.

protip: learn to use portals

[jolly bison]

a fuling mob it hits so hard

[jolly bison]

yes im abusing it, parking my boat near land and portaling home so i could sleep in the night

[nocturne wolf]

You should be keeping away from the plains

[jolly bison]

idk how im supposed to go to the elder spawning area without going through the plains TwT

[wintry valve]

go around it?

[jolly bison]

i have a level 3 bronze armour and still it almost 3 shots me

[nocturne wolf]

That's because plains is the fifth biome and you have equipment from the second

[jolly bison]

that could work, have to pathfind

[jolly bison]

meadows -> black forest -> swamp -> x -> plains?

[nocturne wolf]

Meadows > Black Forest > Swamp > Mountains > Plains

[wintry valve]

to be fair, I was killing fulings with the finewood bow so its totally feasible. Its just useless because anything you get in the plains is basically unusable until you have later materials

Also its risky

[jolly bison]

the deathsquito doesnt stop following wow

[nocturne wolf]

It has 10 health, so hit it first. Bows, spears and polearms make this very easy

[jolly bison]

ah i see, also whats this huge monolith type structure in the plains

[nocturne wolf]

That's just a mineable stone

[jolly bison]

i see, its like the size of a tall tower

[nocturne wolf]

It could be a sealed tower. Is it made of bricks or just a natural stone?

[jolly bison]

it looks like a stone

[plush umbra]

What is the best way to find boars

im new and trying to make a bow

[jolly bison]

they spawn in chunks and im pretty sure its a spawning chunk

[plush umbra]

k

[nocturne wolf]

You can tame and breed them by trapping them somewhere with berries or mushrooms

[plush umbra]

ok

[wintry valve]

protip for new players: bows are awesome. Make an early bow, load yourself with wood arrows, and use them all the time, on everything. Raise that bow skill

The bow skill is probably the one that does the most of all weapon skills. The difference at high skill levels is insane.

[jolly bison]

i just kited a fuling and killed it and got black metal scraps

looks like i cant teleport home with it, unfair

[light moat]

Haha yeah, probably your best bet is to load it up on your boat. Or just chunk it 👀

[kind pendant]

What’s up gjall

[jolly bison]

is it even useful currently? it doesnt seem like a hard to obtain resource

[light moat]

No, not at all (context: during Black Forest tier). It’s so easy to get too, that’s why I never mind throwing it away if it’s just an inconvenience

[jolly bison]

i stole some cloudberries though

[light moat]

Ayyy there you go!
