[eternal yacht]

Sorry to ask soo much here. How do I remove the meat from fire ??

[exotic cradle]

Click E

[eternal yacht]

Steam deck 😭

[exotic cradle]

Wait for it to bake then the same interaction as when you placed it

It will start steaming when it's cooked and change appearance

[eternal yacht]

I heard the first sizzled

[exotic cradle]

Just whatever your interract default button is

[eternal yacht]

It keeps adding more stuff what the heck lol I’m trying to end it

[exotic cradle]

lol put the meat from your inventory into a chest

[late halo]

I also find it easier to aim when you scroll into first person

[eternal yacht]

You can go first person?!?!

[late halo]

I mean sort of if you scroll in with the wheelie on your mouse it'll zoom in the View

I don't like to stay in that mode unless I'm shooting with my bow because I like to see things coming up behind me. If I don't hear them first

[marsh basin]

might have missed but do building still take water dmg even when roof is done ?

[merry pebble]

If there is a gap in the roof or if you are very close to the water level 🤔

[marsh basin]

okay

[eternal yacht]

Omg

Guys…homies…

[merry pebble]

?

[eternal yacht]

Ohh shoot my bad! I beat my first boss 😭

[merry pebble]

Aaah, congrats then! 😄

[eternal yacht]

Eating meat and stufff made me buff a little 🤔 that’s good right ?

[merry pebble]

Food is one of the most important, if not THE most important stat in the game 🙂

[eternal yacht]

Ohhh 😮 so if I go back and get revenge on skull I’ll survive longer ??

Skeleton

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, each food item increases your total health and stamina 🙂 you should always have 3 foods eaten

[eternal yacht]

So meat 3x enough or is there a combination that works better

[merry pebble]

Foods with red fork increase health a lot and yellow fork increases stamina a lot, white fork both the same ammount. for beginners its usually best to have 2 red and 1 yellow food 🙂

Or 2 yellow and one red if you are confident in not getting hit much 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Never eat three foods with the same main stat

[tacit crystal]

3 hp foods sounds good but in practice it isn't as you don't have enough stamina for actions then.

[merry pebble]

Its fine if you just do some work in your base, but generally yeah, 3 of the same food is almost always a bad idea 🙂

[eternal yacht]

Man all this work to get a darn pickax but well worth it

[shy marlin]

3 stam is insane if you’re good enough and 3 eitr is pretty good most of the time

[tacit crystal]

Now you get into some work with that pickaxe.

[tacit crystal]

One could say: scale issue. 😏

[merry pebble]

I still think 2 eitr and 1 stam is better 🤔 with 3 eitr you have really low stamina

[shy marlin]

I agree EES is better but EEE is still decent

EEE shines in dungeons

[tacit crystal]

I prefer EEF if I mage.

[merry pebble]

True, there you dont have to use a ton of stamina 🙂

[shy marlin]

Yup EEF also really good (assuming mistlands/ash feast)

[merry pebble]

Yeah that also works great 😄

[tacit crystal]

I was constantly up with FFS setup with my bow character, took some time to adjust into the Ashlands with more dodgey playstyle.

[merry pebble]

Wouldnt HSS give you more total stats in roughly the same spread as FFS? 🤔

[paper finch]

Do you think it's okay if I give myself grausten in survival to build even thought I'm only in the mountains ?

[tacit crystal]

I wanted to save extra inventory slot.

And some extra hp for hairy situations.

[merry pebble]

Ah, actually nice strategy 😄

[merry pebble]

Why not, depends how you see it since Its your game 😄

[paper finch]

Don't you think it's cheating ?

[exotic cradle]

I mean it's only visual

(and yes it is)

[vocal rivet]

I've also never ever run out of grausten.

[exotic cradle]

Literally the least relatable words

[merry pebble]

Any use of commands Is technically cheating 🙂 but again, its your game, if you want to build with stuff you like go for it, no one will stop you. What we think Its irelevant really.

[merry pebble]

Not all of us build as much as you do 😉 😁

[exotic cradle]

their mistake

[paper finch]

I'm gonna do it

Thanks a lot !

[tacit crystal]

I disagree a bit, it's easy to run out of it quickly when building but it is as fast to get more of it.

[eternal yacht]

I eat substance . Now I’m mega BUFF

[wet night]

is there a mod for this game that allows to have clear sky day vision for a longer than 3 fuckin seconds?

[tiny tiger]

Can we just take a minute to gush about this game lol, I’m on like day 370 just free roaming and found this dope ass continent for a farm, I could probably spend decades playing this game

[tiny tiger]

There’s a command called clearenv or envclear that does this, then resetenv I believe when you want it to no longer be so boring

[merry pebble]

For mods ----> #mods-discussion or you can look up the weather forecast here ----> http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather 😄

[regal spoke]

ToD .5 will make it noon all day

[wet night]

i want to create a road from point A to B, but sadly even if day is 21 minutes and night is 9 then actual amount of time when i can really see what im doing is like 10% of my game time

[merry pebble]

Forever 😄 tho the time will still pass and night will fall, it will just always look like its noon

[regal spoke]

True

[wet night]

thanks i try those

[tiny tiger]

Oo I’m currently doing the same thing actually, a road cutting through the middle of a black forest

Not sure what point of progression you are at but I just have a portal on me to tp back to base whenever I need to sleep and it’s too dark

[wet night]

yeah, when i came with 18 slots of iron and silver to my main island where my home is on the middle then i was forced to struggle with card through the forrest

So i figured out i will create a road for myself, for now and for the future

and while doing it, it became my new project, im trying to make it like perfect

it now consumed more of my time than 20 card routes

[tiny tiger]

Have you considered having a forge at the coast?

[wet night]

but yea, its needs to be bright for me to actually see the road and sadly there is constantly some rain / night and shit

[wet night]

no, it doesnt do anything

you would need to have like 10-20 buildings on the coast which then becomes a new base

but ive created some kind of a port at the end of my road

[tiny tiger]

I mean like just a building and area only dedicated to smelting and forging, with a portal to tp in any non metals needed to craft the items you need

[wet night]

i know what you mean and it doesnt make sense for me. I have my buildings in my base

[tiny tiger]

Fair enough

I recommend bonfires by the road for better visibility

[regal spoke]

I move my forge setup to the nodes. Less transport and more time efficient. But that's my play style

[wet night]

really? fire gives light? never thougt of that, thanks dude

[tiny tiger]

and they stay lit when it rains

[wet night]

i dont really wanna talk with you anymore

[tiny tiger]

Best of luck with your road

[lime cobalt]

Anyone have good recommendations for a good single player modpack? I've been looking at Thunderstore but the modpacks all seem to be for joining a server.

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-discussion will have better answers

[lime cobalt]

Thank you and my apologies.

[hollow matrix]

Built my first house its a shack its horrible! I suck at building ( will use the plan build mod lol). Anyways. There's no land travel here like horses unless you use a mod. I'm currently in the meadows. How many bases do you guys at end game end up with? minus outpost for resources... Walking/running back to your base thats mainland would seem to be a pain? I'm hoping maybe setting near the water and that boating will lead to connecting biomes to set up outpost?

[merry pebble]

Wait until the second biome 😉

[vocal rivet]

You'll get used to them.

[vital umbra]

What a rude display.

[tiny tiger]

It’s all good you never know what someone else is going through to be acting the way they are, best thing you can do is not take it personally 🤷‍♂️

[exotic cradle]

That kid is just too edgy sometimes dw ^_^

[vital umbra]

It would appear so......

excuses can only be taken so far

[heady elm]

Hi everyone, so on my magic barrier (staff of protection) before I was level 20 elemental magic it would absorb 265 damage. Now I'm level 37 and it absorbs only 255? is this a bug, or will you be able to take less and less damage with the staff of protection the higher your elemental level? This would be unlogical. you'd expect it the other way around

[merry pebble]

Staff of protection falls under blood magic 🙂

[heady elm]

Really?

[near furnace]

yup

[merry pebble]

Yep, it takes your hp when you use it

[heady elm]

Ahhh damn alright

I knew that, didn't link the 2 together

Well thanks!

[worldly fulcrum]

Gentlemen, behold em2dD3NGcc

[echo wind]

setenv Clear 😄

[eternal yacht]

man...the phsyics in this game is crazy..here minding mown business trying to build flint ax only to find out the treess can fall on me kill me fall on other trees abd break em into resource too...like helooo??..excusee me homie??

[regal spoke]

Creating chain reactions with this knowledge 😉

[astral geyser]

i have made a modpack if you are interested

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[tribal trench]

I hate golems -_- There is one guarding my silver vein

[tiny tiger]

You should try distract him with a drake, they can get into a never ending battle sometimes lol

[queen kelp]

is there a mod that makes the world generate with each biome as its own seperate continent?

also is there a mod that fixes the increased damage taken from higher difficulties to apply after armor rather than before

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[tribal trench]

The Golem won

got em with a cross

[tiny tiger]

GG

[tribal trench]

that drake went down fast

[tiny tiger]

Must have been a noob

[tribal trench]

on the brighter side I finally found onion seed on this playthrough =+)

[strange arrow]

nice bridge 🙂

[tribal trench]

thank you

Your mage tower is quite tall

[strange arrow]

thanks lol, the last one was the exact same height but made from the marble, the grausten tiles give it a more clean look imo and the new Ashwood panels break up the blandness a bit more

[tribal trench]

impressive

[strange arrow]

it'd be nicer not to have to use a tree to achieve the height as it makes most of the interior unusable but portals are a thing so at least i can whizz to the top for the views xD

[tribal trench]

understandable

I was like man that tower is like twice the height of mine

[strange arrow]

probably not that often that folk can see snow frosted pieces in the meadows xD

next job is to make it look a bit homely for it's wizard visitors

[leaden falcon]

I feel like I should see about some kind of class for learning how to build more creativtly in Valheim.

[quaint pilot]

Chillin in Meadow's Glade if anyone wanna come by and chat

[regal spoke]

Tons of creative builders on YouTube to study

[kind pelican]

has anyone used smoke bombs to great effect?
does it kill aggro if you stand in it?

[heady elm]

Is it possible to spawn/place enemy spawns? Like a greydwarf spawn or draugr spawn

[heady elm]

I placed the spawners but they are not spawning the enemies

[plush umbra]

if you mean the invisible ones, they're affected by player base coverage, and since invisible spawners are only used for points of interest, most of them are one time only, never respawning their enemy. (most of the respawning ones have "_respawn" in their ID)

[tacit crystal]

Currently it only extinguish fires but not remove aggro (afaik it was suggested idea but not implemended as feature).

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[valid minnow]

will valheim run better for everyone if the server host has more ram and better wifi speed?

[opal prairie]

It certainly can't hurt but if I'm not mistaken it runs at the speed of the first person who gets to a zone.
@near furnace Am I mistaken?

[near furnace]

mew?

[merry pebble]

#valheim-help message there was convo about this yesterday 🙂

[near furnace]

don't use WIFI

[valid minnow]

what

[near furnace]

that's a great start

[valid minnow]

oh

[near furnace]

yeah. it still works like that

[valid minnow]

so if the person with the better pc gets to the zone first

[near furnace]

usually yes

[valid minnow]

it will be better for everyone?

[near furnace]

but it's not always about the best PC.

connection quality is a BIG thing

[valid minnow]

wifi speed?

[merry pebble]

Person with better connection more than PC 🙂

[near furnace]

no

[merry pebble]

WiFi Is almost always worse than cable

[valid minnow]

cable as in ethernet?

[near furnace]

unless your dog took a descent bite on your Ethernet cable, wifi is 100% worse 100% of the time

[valid minnow]

so if the host has better connection

[near furnace]

Wifi means wireless internet

[valid minnow]

the game will run better for everyone else?

[near furnace]

you want low latency and low packageloss

[valid minnow]

oh i didnt know that
i thought it was for both

[near furnace]

also. it depends on who has the best connection to the other players in the same area ingame

[valid minnow]

also what is dedicated server?
should me and my friends use that if there are 5 of us from different regions?

[near furnace]

dedicated server = stand alone host

you can just host in your own client aswell

it pretty much does the same as the dedicated server

[valid minnow]

is that the default one or i have to do something

[near furnace]

no

if you start valheim then click "start server" you're using the normal game client

the dedicated server is another program

[valid minnow]

yeah i think thats what we ddid

[near furnace]

Dedicated server makes iy so you don't need to keep the client running to make your friends able to play on your world

[valid minnow]

i see
and does it help with performance too?

[near furnace]

no

[valid minnow]

damn

[near furnace]

it's about the same I would say

[rain fable]

Having a dedicated server essentially just means people can join your game even if you aren't on it.

[valid minnow]

so the only difference is that you can play without the host in dedicated server

[near furnace]

no no no

they are 2 diffrent things

it's what Squid says

[valid minnow]

i mean we want to play together
so what is the best method so that we can get best performance with less ping

[near furnace]

it's another program you can start a valheim server without having to run the client

[rain fable]

Thats just based on your ISP(Internet service provider) and your specific Internet speeds

[near furnace]

best performance would be to use a Ethernet cable to your modem / router

[strange arrow]

also making sure yr machine isn't running background programs, is up to date and such

[rain fable]

https://youtu.be/upEhacdqMLw?si=iL-a0M4fceD5kcan

This video has a pretty solid explanation on how to use the dedicated server tool through steam

[valid minnow]

ok thanks guys

[rain fable]

Also remember that running this consistently in the background will take up your RAM. Probably won't be super consequential but just something to consider

[strange arrow]

Valheim likes the full buffet of pc resources lol

[merry pebble]

But CPU is the tastiest 😄

[strange arrow]

i was gonna make a joke about feasts vs running around on honey xD

[opal prairie]

That is the main course. GPU is starter and RAM dessert.

[vocal rivet]

Your RAM won't enjoy all that sand.

[opal prairie]

Neither would the GPU nor the CPU that are located close by, let's not start about the fans and the power supply.

[strange arrow]

oh my now i have images of pc units racing through the desert

[robust token]

So.. Drake can raid even I haven't defeat Moder?

[exotic cradle]

Moder disables drake raids, Bonemass enables them

[robust token]

Ohh that's why, I just defeated Bonemass yesterday

[exotic cradle]

Yep!

Like a "welcome to the mountain" sort of thing.

[robust token]

So what raid will I encounter before Moder?

[robust token]

A "not so warmth welcome" I see

[rain flare]

The definition of a frosty reception 🤭

[robust token]

I guess it's there to remind me I have another boss to kill

But honestly, I can't wait to get the artisan table

[mighty monolith]

Its so good

lets you smelt black metal and get a whole new tier weapons and tools

[keen trench]

||not to mention new food processing and crafting ||

[exotic cradle]

damn why don't we just tell them EVERYTHING smh

[keen trench]

uhm ok, was rather vague tho

[pliant hatch]

WE don't have to. All answers are already found at the wiki that most people won't be able to find because googling is harder to do yourself as by someone else.....

[exotic cradle]

Wasn't my point

[pliant hatch]

Your point was that we shouldn't put up "spoilers" here.
But those things can't be considered spoilers if it's already in the wiki, isn't it?

[merry pebble]

Not really, you have to actively go to wiki and search for stuff to get spoilers, if you just ask a question here and whole load of vaguely connected spoilers roll out its entirely different situation 🙂 (and yes in this case it was not a lot but its in general bad practice)

[robust token]

It's alright, I have watched enough guides on YouTube

I really want to unlock those build materials from Ashlands, but that's a long journey lol

[opal prairie]

So if the answer can be found somewhere else it isn't a spoiler anymore?
Seems strange to me, if I haven't seen a movie or played a game I don't go looking for stuff about the movie if I don't want to know.

[robust token]

Plus Ashland is on the Steam page (the animated trailer) when I bought the game

[exotic cradle]

Just seemed like to much info for me when someone asked about something specific and the replies are " Ah yes you also get THIS miriad of things once you do that".. why not let the person see for themselves? Not this specific example but it happens here often enough

[mighty monolith]

yeah youre right, i just seem to have a probolem with bread, and i just cnat craft it, when i look in cauldron and workbench it is not there, i have high level caldron and workbench, windmill and stone oven, any help?

[north sierra]

Please, can someone tell me how the graphics are implemented in the game? I'm filling textures into Unity low res, making the same low res normal map, but I still can't achieve the desired effect. Let's say we take a bonfire. The pixels of the earth change color depending on the lighting. It feels like the light is falling on each pixel, rather than on the entire surface. How is this done?

[pliant hatch]

I understand your frustration about it, as I have the same feeing when I give a vague answer and someone simply replies 30 seconds later with all the details written out.

[exotic cradle]

You need a new table 🙂 you'd have probably unlocked it by now if you're in the bread phase

[mighty monolith]

whats it called

[exotic cradle]

Preparation table, in Crafting menu

[robust token]

looks like somebody skipped something from iron age

[mighty monolith]

ohh thanks alot, i had this for a bery long time, i just didnt know i needed to look in there... thought it only was for fish 🙄

[keen trench]

also a latests content addition, so maybe missed it from news

[exotic cradle]

It's for things that need "preparing" like baking etc 🙂

[mighty monolith]

wdym haha i had full iron armour and now i have full balck metal withpaddded armor

[robust token]

I just fully got my swamp parts done too, aka the iron age

[pliant hatch]

That table unlocks when you get iron

[robust token]

Made a surtling farm for coal too :)

[exotic cradle]

Yeah but it also only just got added, depending when they last played

[mighty monolith]

how ? sound nice, i hate kilns

[robust token]

Dip them in water

[pliant hatch]

True. But as (s)he said: "I thought it only was for fish".

So someone simply didn't check the table after having it checked one time.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, that confusion has been even here many times since they were added.

[mighty monolith]

oh and then just afk next to? like mine around the flame?

[robust token]

Yeah

[merry pebble]

You find few geysirs and dig around them so they dont have any dry land close, that way when surtlings spawn they will get killed almost instantly 🙂

[olive stag]

me and my friend finally got a forge working, made some tin, copper and bronze and some nails to get a bunch of the recipes

[mighty monolith]

gotchuu thanks yall

[pliant hatch]

Just make sure you don't place any spawn preventing structures near that geyser. Otherwise the surtlings won't spawn

So if you want to have a portal for quick access near it, make sure it's minimal 20 meters away from the geyser.

"Easiest way" to measure that, place a workbench at the edge of the geyser, place a 2nd workbench just outside the circle of the first one. Place the portal behind the 2nd workbench (seen from the geyser) and demolish both workbenches after that.
The distance between your portal and the geyser should be 22 meters or more after that.

[mighty monolith]

excellent, ill go make it now 😁

[olive stag]

what do we need to try doing other than fight the elder?

[merry pebble]

Start farming 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Get yourself a Karve (or two), start farming, start taming boars and get bronze based weaponry.

[olive stag]

what will boars give?

[strange arrow]

good time to go mining leviathan if you can find them and hunting serpent if you have a finewood bow

[exotic cradle]

is this what you mean by vague reply 😛

[merry pebble]

Meat and leather scraps

[olive stag]

yeah but tamed ones?

[merry pebble]

Same

[olive stag]

wait so why do we need to tame boars

[merry pebble]

To have steady supply 🙂 also you can tame and breed starred ones and those give more stuff

[olive stag]

ok

can the karves outrun a serpent?

[merry pebble]

I think so 🤔 and full speed certainly gives you enough time to kill it with bow 😦

[olive stag]

ok

[pliant hatch]

And a general tip: check all your crafting stations each and every time you pick up something new and that long list of recipes scrolls on the left side of your screen.
A lot can be missed when you unlock a lot of items, so it's always a good idea to check the hammer, forges, workbenches, cauldron, food prep table and so on.

Also, if you haven't find the 3rd merchant, better start looking for her, as she's got some items that will be helpful over time and can be crafted in the food prep table.

[opal prairie]

Depends on the wind.

[olive stag]

i’m planning to kill moder with my friends after we kill the elder to get access to magic, any tips?

[pliant hatch]

WEll, I could've said which weapons to craft, to what level, which upgrades to which crafting stations to be done, which items to get for more comfort and so on.
So yes, it's still pretty vague.

[mighty monolith]

the bog witch? i aldready bought some of every single item from her

[exotic cradle]

And the third merchant mention? I mean....... cmmon man 🙂

[pliant hatch]

I'm afraid Moder won't give you access to magic. You will need to defeat another boss after her for that first.

[keen trench]

full sails outruns them, half is good for luring them ashore (they'll still be able to give your boat couple bites but unlikely destroy it) ofc you'll need wind on your side

[olive stag]

i’ve heard that her tears are the item you need to craft magic based items

[strange arrow]

the reason i mentioned mining leviathan is that that will give you access to the harpoon, which is invaluable if you want to move boars around easily

[olive stag]

the crafting table for magic stuff

[strange arrow]

works on other tames as well but wolves don't need it as they follow on command

[olive stag]

ok

[pliant hatch]

Her tears give access to an item that let you eventually craft the workstation to craft magic items. That's true. But some of the requirements for that workstation are found in the area you unlock after the 5th boss.
So Moder doesn't give you access to magic.

[pliant hatch]

Well, she is the 3rd merchant.
Haldor is the first, Hildir is the second. And this particular lady is added as third.

[olive stag]

ah, what area is it i’m assuming it’s the mistlands

[pliant hatch]

It is. But you need to go through the plains first.

[strange arrow]

if Moder is the intro, Mistlands opens the floodgates

[olive stag]

why is magic such an endgame item 😭😭😭😭😭

[tepid prawn]

Moder unlocks soooo many things though

[merry pebble]

Because its incredibly strong 🙂

[tepid prawn]

you will have Magic for 3 whole biomes, Mistlands, Ashlands and Deep North when it comes out, once the game gets to 1.0 and leaving early access, and you will not have it for the first 5, so not too bad

[olive stag]

makes sense considering one of the items of a meteor you can summon

[tepid prawn]

yeah Ash magic is a lot stonger than mistlands one

[strange arrow]

Ember staff:

[cosmic igloo]

ikr.. wish we had at least some wands or something, so we can lvl ele skill throughout the game

[merry pebble]

Why? It levels up enough with normal playing even now. And its not even needed.

[cosmic igloo]

because i want to play magic

[strange arrow]

familiarity is the argument, and it's fair

a weak option could be added

[cosmic igloo]

just balance it so its as good as melee

[strange arrow]

the other side however, is that weapon skills should be first and foremost, which is also fair

[cosmic igloo]

wym?

[strange arrow]

they want us to be able to defend ourselves adequately before giving us magic

[cosmic igloo]

i can defend myself adequately with magic

[strange arrow]

we don't get a crossbow until later either

[cosmic igloo]

i get saving xbow until later, we have a substitute for it earlier (bow), but for magic we dont have a substitute

[strange arrow]

Frostner is available pretty early and magic enhanced armor

[cosmic igloo]

thats not magic bro

[keen trench]

personally i really like the magic thing as is, ||first 3rd of the game: raw survival, sticks and stones and some hard earned simple metal, midgame: first magic-ish features: some weapon enchantment, spirit damage vs undead, "magic" potions, endgame: proper said rpg lorey magic|| i really like this

[plush umbra]

i tried 1.5x loot and it feels like it doesnt work on iron when i dig it

[strange arrow]

that's all we had back when xD

[plush umbra]

i feel like i get thesame as normal

[cosmic igloo]

yea i get why magic is later on, and it makes sense. but i just like magic and wanna play magic, thats kinda the extent of my argument

[strange arrow]

some fair reasons for/against

i wouldn't object to the swamp lady selling us a weak zappy wand, for example

[cosmic igloo]

yea

some voodoo stuff

[keen trench]

yup i get it and i like magic as well, sometimes thought "just if i could get something magic earlier" too, just find that kind of progression so good i prefer it like that, very personal opinion and matter of own taste ofc

[cosmic igloo]

i think some dude made the argument that skele summon skull should be moved to swamp for that reason. i like that

[keen trench]

uhmm this is another story, tempting 😁

[tiny tiger]

I think having weapons locked to the endgame leads to you looking forward to the endgame if you are a returning player and a surprise for new players, with the greatsword, crossbow and magic being all locked to post plains

[plush umbra]

do u guys even use the loot modifier?

[cosmic igloo]

yep but problem is magic is such a different way of playing the game. so it feels a bit like "ok lets just suffer for some biomes until i can finally play the game in mistlands"

[tiny tiger]

Personally I don’t, I find it more tedious to manage and I find the intended resource rate good enough for single player

[cosmic igloo]

yep i use 1.5x resource rate

[tiny tiger]

For coop I think at least 1.5x is necessary tho

[cosmic igloo]

or sometimes even more, i think in my current is 2x

[keen trench]

or maybe just some passive/mob debuffing stuff, a bit like Diablo 2's necro curses skill tree (just flying with imagination here, no proper "suggestion")

[plush umbra]

do u play solo?

[cosmic igloo]

ya

[tiny tiger]

Adding magic to early game brings unnecessary complexity for new players, there’s already so many things introduced that it could end up being overwhelming

[cosmic igloo]

not familiar w d2 necro curses

[tiny tiger]

Look at how many new players overlook the importance of food for example

[cosmic igloo]

yep i can see that

i even struggled with how to build stuff

[strange arrow]

they would also have to rework eitr for anything substantial, which is why a weak wand that doesn't need the eitr food would seem to work well

[keen trench]

oh ok, it would be like timed area-effect debuffs for enemies, like slowering them, making 'em deal less damage, taking some damage from own attacs and so on

"confuse" them and make them fight on your side for awile, eheh, nice stuff, but i'll stop here

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if we will get spirit damage dealing magic weapons in the deep north

We’ve got all the other elements so far

[strange arrow]

everyone was hoping for a troll tamer in Ashlands lol

[keen trench]

eheh, well they vaguely kinda got it

[cosmic igloo]

feels weird to tame a troll, because they are humanoids just like us. just dumber

[cosmic igloo]

yea i hope they cook up some nice magic stuff

and tbh balance some stuff like vine staff so it doesnt feel like im wasting eitr by using stuff like ember or skele skull

[opal prairie]

It feels weird taming boars, they are omnivores just like us, just with more fur.

[cosmic igloo]

lmao

[keen trench]

eheh, not just omnivore very similar digestive structure, and behavior if untamed 😆

[plush umbra]

vines taff too OP i dont even use spawns on fighintg the ashlands boss it slaps too much

but its my fav of all

[heady elm]

Is it possible to spawn/place enemy spawns? Like a greydwarf spawn or draugr spawn
I placed the spawners but they are not spawning the enemies.

I did spawn spawner_greydwarfnest and it spawned a nest but its no enemies coming from it

[opal prairie]

Are there any player base structures nearby that might suppress the spawning.
I have no idea how the spawners work if you spawn them in yourself.

[exotic cradle]

Is it in a closed area? Graydwarf spawners need an open sky, for example

[inland wraith]

what type of weaps do you guys use for mistlands?
seekers giving me a hard time at night xO

[nocturne wolf]

You should sleep at night, enemies will spawn more frequently and are likely to have more stars

[regal spoke]

*seekers are resistant to all physical damage types. Use a weapon you have highest skill in. Attack their rear ends. It's their weak point

[nocturne wolf]

That's only a weak point on a soldier but jumping over a regular seeker to attack from behind is a great way to deal damage safely

[regal spoke]

Fr? I thought it was all seekers. Not the new thing I hoped to learn today. Blob always on point.

[tacit crystal]

Like said above, any weapon you have high skill is effective, but those weapons that deal other than any physical damage type are more effective, like ||Frostner|| or ||Frost arrows with Draugr Fang||.
Blackmetal atgeir still is good for staggering seekers.

[azure yacht]

Idk how you keep assuming everyone has enough jump skill for this to consistently work...

[nocturne wolf]

Regular seekers have very low attack hitboxes and collision, any player should naturally have that much jump skill by the time they reach mistlands

[tacit crystal]

Maybe he encourages jumping so they get more xp for jumping skill.

[nocturne wolf]

Their pincers reach 2m up and all others are 1.7

[exotic cradle]

offtopic but i like the fact that you said "fr"

[regal spoke]

Old guy with kids knows current stuffs and things

[vocal rivet]

What does France have to do with anything?

[regal spoke]

Hehe

[tacit crystal]

Hon hon le baguette

[strange arrow]

yes

[regal spoke]

Ehmm how you say We? Wii no wait

[regal spoke]

I'm probably the odd one out. I don't use Frostner much. Is there any attack/swing speed improvement with increase of skill. The slow is incredible. But the swing speed just hurts.

[tacit crystal]

Skill level doesn't increase attack speed. But Frostner is as fast as swords are (maces and swords have same attack pattern, speed and animation for primary attacks).

[strange arrow]

i think it's more useful if there's more than 1 seeker chasing, but less in a 1v1

[merry pebble]

There isnt, but the swing speed is the exact same as swords for example

[regal spoke]

Thanks gjall. This explains why I'm a spear main

[tacit crystal]

It's good even 1v1. Knockback and slow gives safety especially if you encounter 2 star Seeker.

[regal spoke]

Here's hoping for frost spear in the future lol

[strange arrow]

depending on resistances for DN it may be worthless xD

[regal spoke]

Fair point. Would make sense too

[tacit crystal]

Well, that would be the reason to put Frostner on it's pedestal after serving loyally during 3 biomes after mountains. 🫡

[regal spoke]

Sounds like a good idea for a decorative shrine revolved around Frostner. Probably been done

[strange arrow]

trying to remember exactly why i prefer sword, had trouble hitting the third hit with Frostner compared to it somehow but i forget why

might be the slow effect

[regal spoke]

Is the range of sword not even a little bit more than frostner

[nocturne wolf]

By 0.2m

[regal spoke]

Not much at all. But enough I guess

[wintry valve]

its about 0.3 dishwasher, for the americans :V

[strange arrow]

the only time i ever got frustrated with sword is in the narrow corridors/corners like in frost caves, otherwise it's golden

[nocturne wolf]

Swords are best in narrow places because no multi-target penalty

[merry pebble]

Knockback

[strange arrow]

couldn't land some hits regardless

[regal spoke]

Is there wall collision for the sword in narrow areas

[strange arrow]

although MMB attack pretty much solves it

[strange arrow]

if memory serves it was a diagonal type of issue, i could see the mob around a corner, and the attack animation seemed to show the sword contacting the mob, but no damage until it fully exited the corridor into the one i was stood in

[sinful creek]

Any server recommendations for new players that haven't played in a couple years ?

[regal spoke]

Take a look in #1024264966712340510 use the filter to your liking

[sinful creek]

Ty my friend

[regal spoke]

My pleasure

[regal spoke]

That's kinda interesting

[dusk violet]

you know what i hate about this game?

[sinful creek]

Nothing?

[signal falcon]

Is valheim a good game like if I just want creative mode building like Minecraft

[eternal yacht]

Question…will this game more updates? Or is it finished?

[exotic cradle]

Yes.

[dusk violet]

Just one thing, if you have it on Steam, but I forget everytime that i have it.

[exotic cradle]

Not finished yet, still in Eary Access

[eternal yacht]

Ohhhh it’s in EA ??

[dusk violet]

Its actully a super good game, i forget about it in my steam libary.

[exotic cradle]

Yes but it feels pretty complete, it's completely worth the money and you get hundreds of hours of gameplay ^^

[signal falcon]

Do many people play creative only?

[eternal yacht]

Oh no I’m already playing it—I’ve been asking a lot of questions about this past week

[exotic cradle]

I'd recommend finishing the game the normal way, after that creative becomes like your retirement ^^

[exotic cradle]

Yesh I know! I just mean even after you "finish" it you can still keep playing ^^

[glossy dune]

guys, if you play solo, there is just too many things to do arent there, building, exploring, hunting, farming, mining, smelting, sailing, choppin wood, crafting, not to mention fighting bosses, I`m about to do a D-Day in Ashlands but for the first time solo, wish me luck xD

[signal falcon]

I just wanna build I don’t care about anything else

[exotic cradle]

Then yes, it's an amazing building sandbox game if you want it to be, building is all I do basically

[strange arrow]

feasible for sure

[eternal yacht]

Cool so uh I have to look up stuff on what I need to do next—instead I got distracted and I’m trying build my house but end up finding a guid for simple build. If anything that probably needs work is when you’re snapping things into place especially when your at a certain hight

[strange arrow]

Q and E might help solve that, you can get to snap points that would otherwise be extremely difficult/impossible

[eternal yacht]

At what point do I unlock fishing ?

[eternal yacht]

I’m on steam deck 😅

[nocturne wolf]

Look at the controls on the pause menu, like you had to last time you asked about controls

It should also show in the corner of your screen when holding a hammer

[plush umbra]

when will the next update come?

[nocturne wolf]

The developers haven't given any information yet

[strange arrow]

couple of ways, you can find the trader and buy a rod or be lucky in frost caves and find a rare spawn room containing one

[regal spoke]

Are you working with mods yet or strictly vanilla still. Forgive me if I asked before

[eternal yacht]

Hey so I think there might be some disconnects on how im explaining things —have you played on steam deck for this game ?

[nocturne wolf]

I have played with steam deck but I use a different control layout to you

[exotic cradle]

I'll probably never mod

[eternal yacht]

Right …

[regal spoke]

I'm still vanilla myself. I've told myself "perhaps after I beat the completed game. Then I'll try some qol and builder related stuffs"

[exotic cradle]

I hate the word "QoL" its so subjective 🥲

[nocturne wolf]

Alternative placement is for disabling snapping. LT + Right/left stick press looks like it should work

[strange arrow]

ah, nice

[regal spoke]

I guess that's fair. Qol for me is probably convenience

[eternal yacht]

Yeah ok so the hight is the issue trying to get to a hight to snap a piece on but I think I just need to create a ladder to place piece in

[exotic cradle]

See bottom right, says cycle snapping

[eternal yacht]

Yeah

Oh wait I keep hitting the RB button hmm 🤔

[raven heron]

i just got down into the cave and theres 4 tetra chilling on the ground next to a pool of water

is that normal lol

[strange arrow]

for a rare tetra pond yes

they are quite frisky and often jump out of those pools xD

and the smaller they are, the more lively (all fish)

[regal spoke]

Do tier 5 tetra exist?

[strange arrow]

supposedly, i've only seen 1-3 though and i spent hours catching and waiting

[keen trench]

afaik all fish can be lefel 1 to 5

but > 3 is damn rare, found a 4 Pike and a 5 Puffer ever, everything else below 4

[strange arrow]

yeh the pool only spawns 3, and it takes a day or so for the respawn

even skipping the interim time didn't yield a 4-5

[regal spoke]

Perhaps my Valheim retirement will consist of more fishing. Finally earn that one special piece

[keen trench]

oh, never found a Tetra over even 2 (discovered just 2 lakes in all seeds but emptied them few times)

[strange arrow]

lvl 5 coral cod is the only 5 i've caught, but other players have been much more fortunate, with almost all types in lvl 5

[nocturne wolf]

🎣 🎰

[regal spoke]

Do we think/know if rng is account or character based? Or it's just rng in general

[vocal rivet]

World based I'd imagine.

[nocturne wolf]

It shouldn't be based on anything or it isn't random

[regal spoke]

I've played other games where account based rng felt very real. But I'd agree it shouldn't be

[nocturne wolf]

What is that? Players can do things to get lucky?

[regal spoke]

Yea you make multiple accounts to find one with better luck

[strange arrow]

or they randomly rolled a particularly lucky account

[nocturne wolf]

What is the benefit to a system like that

[regal spoke]

Usually mtx hungry one's

I find it common in mobile games

[strange arrow]

usually that's just initial though, and it balances out later anyway

[regal spoke]

Seems to be true

[keen trench]

uh coral cod must be huge, only one i got 5 is puffer, wich maybe has the smallest model

[regal spoke]

I want a Mississippi catfish sized level 5 fish for a wall mount. What would come close?

[strange arrow]

#valheim-public-test message

[signal falcon]

Are there any creative mode servers

[regal spoke]

Afaik that would require a modded server? Typically only admin has creative power? Someone correct me I'm sure

[vocal rivet]

No, you're correct. Still, there might be some in #1024264966712340510

[regal spoke]

Dude that's a monster. What fish is that?

Thanks DereK 🫡

[strange arrow]

Coral Cod

iirc i'm one of only a very small handful to have caught one

[regal spoke]

Very cool. From a boat or stationary? Bet that was a fight

[keen trench]

yeh it's also one of the high stam consuming ones iirc

[strange arrow]

it's an Ocean fish, so boat ye

[regal spoke]

What's the trick with boat fishing? Latch it and turn into it to conserve stam?

[strange arrow]

i just stopped the boat right on top of it, other than that can't remember much specific

[regal spoke]

Nice. Do the higher tier fish produce more meat or no

[strange arrow]

i think yes

[keen trench]

on boat you can have a very short line leght while sitted steering, and they'll hook automatically if you're movig, so you can play a bit with stopping/backrowing to save some stam.. ..still lvl5 cod would be the hell of a fight

[strange arrow]

might have been lucky and it was very close to the surface, i don't remember a huge ordeal to land it xD

[keen trench]

let alone boss fighting, that's for kids, we're talking serious challenges here 😆

[exotic cradle]

beams?

[keen trench]

ahah not that serious

[regal spoke]

Let's face it stability and roofs are the real endgame

[keen trench]

anyway , yes to beams

[strange arrow]

roof boss OP

before the feather cape 1 wrong step and dead xD

[regal spoke]

Especially ones with curvature

Who doesn't build at 25hp

[exotic cradle]

most deaths in my world are from my bedroom balcony

[vocal rivet]

How very dramatic.

[exotic cradle]

(lazy)

[regal spoke]

Very picturesque ending one may say

[strange arrow]

Rapunzel forgot to lower her hair smh

[exotic cradle]

how is she supposed to climb down her own hair

[uneven belfry]

I usually spam the cloudberries while building - for stamina, and they are "cheap"

[vocal rivet]

She wasn't. She was imprisoned.

[uneven belfry]

• sometimes using a sausage when building on heights

[regal spoke]

🍯 ftw

[uneven belfry]

Tie it to a table and go for a neck breaking Bungee jump?

[regal spoke]

Stevie Ray Vaughan style. Living life by the drop

[strange arrow]

originally it was so the prince could climb it, but she used it to escape after the queen cut it off i think

[exotic cradle]

guys do you really think i havent seen rapunzel smh

[signal falcon]

How do I enable creative mode

[strange arrow]

i've done enough brain dredging today xD

[uneven belfry]

On pc?

[signal falcon]

Yes

[uneven belfry]

Go into the steam -> that gear icon (under valheim obv) -> properties -> there is the bracket there type "-console" -> launch the game -> open console command with F5 and type "devcommads"

• now you have cheats on
  -> type "debugmode" (in the same f5 console bracket) -> now you can toggle flight with "Z" and no-build cost with "B"

[exotic cradle]

or use Hammermode/Buildmode world modifier before entering the server

[uneven belfry]

Yes, but that doesn't grant the "flight" ability - the only way I know of is to open console command to get it 🤔

[exotic cradle]

Yeah but creative doesnt necesarily mean fly 😄 so idk

[uneven belfry]

Yeah idk if he wants to fly either, but I'm just spilling out the options 🤷

[signal falcon]

thx is there a way to unlock the entire map btw

[uneven belfry]

"showmap" or sth like that (after the "devcommads" part - it will reveal the whole map for you and I'm not sure if you can revert that)

[nocturne pasture]

Are Ladders planned?

[uneven belfry]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console
You have a list of all the commands there ⬆️

[uneven belfry]

Wydm?

[signal falcon]

thx boss man

[nocturne pasture]

Ladder

I need a Ladder

[vocal rivet]

You don't. Stairs work.

[nocturne pasture]

For you maybe

[signal falcon]

it dont work

@uneven belfry how do i unlock all recipes?

guys are there anything other than stone and wood walls?

[vocal rivet]

There will be.

[uneven belfry]

Hope it doesn't work? Did u try for spelling errors (there is no space in "-console" <- common issue I think 🤔)

[uneven belfry]

That I don't know 🤷

[signal falcon]

btw how do i make windows

[uneven belfry]

Maybe there is a command for that... Check there

[uneven belfry]

However u want, Ur imagination is the limit

[strange arrow]

make a hole, use shutters, use crystal wall pieces

[uneven belfry]

Few examples

• Just a hole in the wall
• a hole I the wall with some extra decorative pieces made of angled wood bars etc
• a hole in the (stone) wall with metal bars, crystal ("glass-like" wall) etc
• a 2x2 hole in a stone wall with the stone arches in there
• with more biome progression u will unlock more pieces that could work there

A tip for the crystal wall - it needs to be placed on something else than crystal - to build vertical window you need to snap it on the side of your wall

[strange arrow]

can also use the standard wood door as a window, although it doesn't look great

[tough zinc]

game crashed and lost whole inventory and also my boat. Way to get them back??

[strange arrow]

spawn them back with commands

[zealous thicket]

I had to rollback my character save once because I died just before the game crashed and rolled back (no tombstone but character had no items). You may be able to get your loadout back if you have a recent character save. I think it was under "manage saves" at the main menu

[raven heron]

can i reduce the spawn rates of stone golems

i've legit had 5 spawns in 30 minutes its so annoying

[azure yacht]

nope

[regal spoke]

Eliminate (workbench or similar) or lock (trap them in a pit) not reduce

[turbid shale]

200 hours into this game and I still haven't progressed passed the Mountains lol

[exotic cradle]

by choice or?

[regal spoke]

I sunk so many hours before clearing Yag or Queen

[umbral lance]

I think I just had the world record for shortest valheim run

[glad jungle]

): yeah

[vocal rivet]

That's not particularly slow.

[umbral lance]

managed to make a crude bow before the server seems to have shut down

[glad jungle]

yeah. i had no idea what was going on than it was all gone

[umbral lance]

the server host was inviting people in the lfg channel, there were like 6-7 people who joined then they deleted their post, the server, and the discord

[misty aurora]

did u get kicked too randomly

[glad jungle]

yes the whole server is gone

[umbral lance]

I guess it was a fun ~15 minutes

[glad jungle]

i picked a berry bush farthest ive ever gotten in the game

[umbral lance]

I guess you made it the whole playthrough without dying then, grats

[glad jungle]

WOOOOO

[turbid shale]

sorta, would probably be farther if I wasn't doing the grinding for 3 other players

[merry pebble]

@glad jungle @umbral lance you can always make your own server if you want to play together 🙂

[wet night]

correct me if im wrong, but isnt bonemass power totally unballanced compared to other ones making them inferior?

from a moment ive obtained that power i basicly stoped dying. As long as i have that ability ready to use i literally fear nothing and when danger aproaches i just use it and im basicly almost immortal (i guess i would die if i just stay afk for 20 seconds)

[merry pebble]

It is indeed incredibly op 😄
I 100% expect it to get rebalanced 🙂

[eternal yacht]

Since this game is in EA you think they might add gliding and scaling mountains in this game ??👀👀

[mortal fog]

Hi does anyone have a server up where i can repair my tools?

[wet night]

i feel like i should ban this power from my gameplay to make it ballanced again

[merry pebble]

Heh, just you wait 😄

[wet night]

what tools?

[mortal fog]

the thing is my friend's pc had the server and he forgot to back it up. now im stuck with my tools half broken and i dont want to start a new world for this

my armour and tools

[wet night]

im asking about tier of those items

[eternal yacht]

Asatru….what do you now that I don’t cuh! Spill the beans homies —SPLILL IT 😂

[mortal fog]

tier 4-5

[merry pebble]

If you want spoilers... Then i can 😄

[eternal yacht]

👀👀👀👀

[mortal fog]

i have a mistwalker sword

[merry pebble]

Why not? You can make a new world where you will quickly repair the tools using commands 🙂

[wet night]

i dont have black forge yet, sorry

[mortal fog]

is it a creative mode kinda thing?

[merry pebble]

Console commands to enable building anything, so kinda.

[eternal yacht]

I’m glad this game runs well on steam deck it’s my only go to place for PC games

[wet night]

why arent devs doing anything with bonemass power?

i assume its broken from the beggining of the game

[merry pebble]

They most likely will.

And its not that big of a deal, if you feel its broken, dont play with it. 🙂

[wet night]

self imposed rules tend to break my game immersion

[sharp bluff]

the power is fine for single player
it gets problematic in multi tho

[wet night]

how is it fine for single player when its still makes other powers inferior

its no longer a matter of complaining for me now, im just curious because i think its weird that something may be that broken for so long and nothing has been done with it

[sharp bluff]

one combat power will always be the numerically best
and as utility you will be using the others quite a bit, especially Moder

the problematic part is that 4 players can keep it up indefinitely and most scary dmg in the game tends to be physical

[ember kraken]

Struggle to remember any (significant) damage that isn't physical, Plains boss ?

[wet night]

yes, exactly thats why there is a problem. Power like that simply shoudnt exist and instead become another utility option. That would leave the player with options that work only in specific conditions, like i need magic resistance against this particular enemy or i want to play as mage so i will just keep using regeneration.

I understand the argument of 1 power is always going to be on top, but all other combat powers are similar in strength and usability being situational

[sharp bluff]

starred dvergr mages can strg alt dlt you xd

[wet night]

Its not like there is other combat power that is very close to bonemass power and would become the new most OP one after bonemass is gone

[ember kraken]

Right forgot about the dwarf mages.

[azure yacht]

no

[ember kraken]

Well, I don't like the powers balance from a design perspective. But honestly it doesn't really matter enough that it needs to be changed. Most players are able to adjust and self limit. And most will likely enjoy having an option to deal with things they might otherwise struggle with.

[sharp bluff]

even if you don't self limit: you only have 25% uptime
thats 15 mins in which a random starred mob can completely bone you

[ember kraken]

In theory they could split the different resistance types out among different powers, so Bonemass gave resistance to piercing, but not slashing and blunt. And then give those two to other powers. It would just make people swap powers a bit more, get annoyed at it, and use powers less. Because it's cumbersome to constantly go back to start and swap them out.

[sharp bluff]

pair one physical with one elemental and then spread it over 3 bosses

[tribal trench]

Bonemass hmmm..... Yeah Swamp is a good time! I like to take my time in there like Luke Skywalker on Dagooba

[sharp bluff]

Bonemass: Pierce + Frost
Yag: Slash + Fire
Elder: Blunt + Poison
Lightning becomes "true" dmg

it would also buff elder to be useful in the swamp xd

[ember kraken]

Personally, I'm starting to wish I could just tack all the powers on top of each others. So if I beat Eikthyr and Elder, I can activate my power and get both effects at the same time.

Most of the powers doesn't really do much at the same time anyways. If I need the moder power I don't need the rest at the same time, same with most of the others (mainly BoneyM+Eikthyr that are useful together).

So in single player, it wouldn't be much power creep to be able to activate all at the same time.

[stuck dagger]

go to launch options in steam, type '-console'
enter game, f5, enter devcommands

congrats you have access to the console commands, google whatever it is you want to do

[ember kraken]

Pretty sure you can just use world modifier to turn on "nocost" now ?

[stuck dagger]

ah can you? nice

[merry pebble]

You can but that will only let you build for free the stuff you already unlocked 🙂

[ember kraken]

Ok gotcha. Never tried it, so wasn't sure of the details.

[merry pebble]

No worries 😄

[wet night]

nope, another wrong argument. When 5 minut of power end you just go to your base when you are in dangerous enviroment, wait 15 minutes and then continue

You can be protected in 100% of time, not 25%

[merry pebble]

Yes beacause that doesent break your immersion does it...

[strange arrow]

just use Eikthyr all the way. job done xD

[tribal trench]

I just love these Drauger villages they scatter all over! I found 3 in close proximity of eachother... It's a super village of undead lol

[ember kraken]

I mean the game allows you to do a lot of things to break combat. Terraforming for example is much stronger than any of the forsaken powers. So you can be pretty much 100% safe most of the time and kill anything with a bow etc.

[wet night]

every time i see emote under messages devoid of any substance that answer to my message i imagine something like this:https://i.imgflip.com/9llzm6.jpg

[azure yacht]

Which means you need to reach your base while the power is on cooldown in the first place

So it's definitely not "100% of the time"

[strange arrow]

who made them the arbiter of substance? i didn't use anything but Eikthyr until Mistlands dropped and it worked fine for me

[azure yacht]

You make it sound like you are assuming that the second the power wears off you instantly and suddenly teleport to your base and be safe until it refreshes

[wet night]

Well, i hope devs will someday change that power. There is no reason to make any discussion with people that are unable to operate on actual facts

have a good day

[azure yacht]

I don't understand why they would change that doesn't need changing

[ember kraken]

I'm not a fan of the boneym power, but it honestly isn't a problem either. Pickaxe+Hoe are much more game breaking in general, and I don't see them getting removed.

[exotic cradle]

If you play like a 🐱 and sit in your base unless you have bonemass on cd it's not a dev problem

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt be surprised to see it changing before/with 1.0 🙂 it is quite op after all. I just dont see it being that much of a problem to complain about devs not changing it until now.

[regal spoke]

Come again

[azure yacht]

Half of that "issue" would be solved if powers stopped being shared among players

[ember kraken]

I also find the forsaken power system largely too annoying to really deal with much. So I tend to pick one, Eikthyr early game, then BoneyM later, and just stick to it. Because changing powers tends to be more annoying than it's worth.

[azure yacht]

Imagine one player activates bm, one yagluth, and another eikthyr.

Now you have a trio of demi gods that can withstand everything in the game

[merry pebble]

Its 1 or 2 teleportations 🤔

[azure yacht]

That just made me realize that maybe yagluth was more intended as a MP power specifically

[ember kraken]

Yeah, and watch the animation, and go back to where you was, use the power, and it's off on cooldown etc. Most of the time it's easier to just not bother and keep doing what I was doing and finish it faster. The powers generally doesn't feel worth the small hassle of moving around to swap them.

[merry pebble]

Moder power is entirely worth it for me 🙂

[leaden charm]

yeah uhh i think this is teh end for me just had the cloud override my saves 40 fucking hours of painfull building lost

[ember kraken]

Moder power I can definitively see. It's one of the few things I usually do try to use. But I'll admit most of the time I forget about it until I'm out on the water already....

[regal spoke]

I still need understanding. How is pick and hoe game breaking

[merry pebble]

Indestructible walls
(well, nearly indestructable)

[ember kraken]

Oh sorry forgot to answer. Well he was saying that the BoneyM breaks combat, by giving resistance to all physical damage.

I find that you can be even safer just terraforming a pillar up and stand on top and shoot at enemies, etc.

[regal spoke]

Ok fair point

[ember kraken]

The AI, except for a few flying enemies, can't handle terraforming. Either pits, moats, walls, plateaus, or just pillars. And you can use that to cheese just about anything in the game.

I've beaten plains boss with: Hoe + stagbreaker for ex

[regal spoke]

The ability to break pathing is pretty easy

Like the cattle guard crossing idea

[strange arrow]

now we have other world modifiers/modes, they could actually remove/restrict that in default survival

[regal spoke]

Build hammer op

[strange arrow]

and let the trolls rip xD

[ember kraken]

But yeah, for ex when I tried that mod that made enemies spawn as high as 5 stars etc. What I considered my most important weapons: Pick, Hoe, Sledge and Bow. Was usually not worth the effort to engage with anything else.

[regal spoke]

How would you propose restrictions without taking away too much.

Sledging 5* mobs sounds like it would take a while

[strange arrow]

or just give trolls the ability to smash through earth walls maybe

[ember kraken]

You could take away the raise earth option from hoe. And I guess limit the depth you can pickaxe to 2 meter (that makes it hard to get straight enough edges that monsters doesn't slide down, as well as many will still be able to reach).

[strange arrow]

restricting pick might make it impossible to mine silver, most of a copper vein etc

[regal spoke]

Also takes away a lot of build freedom

[ember kraken]

Yup, but at 2m you'd still be able to get some. Though it would be harder, so you'd have to go and find more to mine.

Oh absolutely, but as said for an optional modifier in world modifiers, I could see it. I know some people doesn't like the terraforming anyways (I've played with one of those)

[regal spoke]

Yea I dig it. I've played on a lot of servers the past couple years. Many different play styles and perspectives. Cool to experience

[ember kraken]

Personally, I'm big on terraforming >_< I love making caves and plateaus... so yeah didn't mesh too well with my buddy, and we ended up preferring having separate bases :p

[regal spoke]

Same. I don't do a lot of moats. But if I couldn't build my Hobbit holes under rocks I'd be less myself lol

[ember kraken]

I have an unhealthy obsession with Elder-altars >_<

[regal spoke]

Such an incredible amount of space under there. Another is how deep we can make the Ash forts

Managed a two story build inside.

[jaunty crater]

Trolls need to be able to climb

[ember kraken]

One of my favourites was finding a small mountain top with a lot of rock formations on the top. So I dug under and caves out most of them, and had like 4-5 or so rock formations on top forming a roof. And built a small dwarf outpost inside. Was fun having to adapt to all the ups and downs in the terrain, to make a lot of small half floors to adapt to rooms etc.

[strange arrow]

ever checked around under ||where you find The Queen entrance? 😉 ||

[ember kraken]

Yup, love the fortress feel of it. Always repair it up.

[strange arrow]

details like that are what make the game special imo

my group stumbled on it by accident after maybe 3 or 4 trips in and around it

one of them went "hey what's this panel here", and we all gasped when we saw

[regal spoke]

I had no idea how big it is under there.

[strange arrow]

we just had a portal stuck outside before that xD

[regal spoke]

I did a fun lil build on a server recently. 6*6 footprint. Real simple amenities on the entry level. In front of the workbench I made a false floor with a staircase to a hidden bedroom with storage and portal to my hub. The false floor is disguised by three deer hide rugs.

[ember kraken]

Fired up my OLD save again the other day, and just walked around looking at my various builds. Always fun to see all the weird stuff. Still enjoy that weird tower thing I made, with portals through every floor, as it turned into my portal hub. Tried to make it to have a high position to watch into a nearby mountain, but then realised that you can't really see far anyways....

[regal spoke]

Looking back at early work is fun. Definitely come a long way. I'm still pretty average as a builder compared to the amazing work I've seen others do. Doesn't end either. People's creativity never ceases

[ember kraken]

Had a base that I terraformed so much to make into a giant dwarf fortress, that it ended up fps drops so much I couldn't use it. -_- so much work for nothing.

[regal spoke]

I can relate to that for sure.

[strange arrow]

one day when the tech gets better, it might be possible to have such things as lighthouses that you can see from a reasonable distance xD

[regal spoke]

Does changing any settings give improvement

[strange arrow]

not enough, they are just nice to make and look at from close by rn

yr practically ashore by the time it loads in xD

[regal spoke]

Playing from pre optimization. I build rather paranoid. Refusing to go beyond instance threshold

I like to be 10k or less. Limits how wild the build can be

[ember kraken]

I usually don't build too large, so haven't ran into it much. But that one build was rather gigantic. Was basically building enough space to make an entire 2 floor dwarf village.

[regal spoke]

Looking at Ninebyte I wonder what his box is to make such grand builds and still manage videos through them lol

[regal spoke]

You reckon 35k plus in that area?

[ember kraken]

Uhm, don't remember, I'd have to remember where I misplaced that build and find it again.....

I did a run once where I emptied out all the storage on all my bases in my old world, and disabled most/all workstations besides workbench and removed the upgrades. And then reset my map, and started re-exploring the whole world from scratch again. Was fun, but it also means I haven't found all my old bases back yet.

[regal spoke]

Sounds fun

[near furnace]

pre optimizaition?

[ember kraken]

Kind of wish the game had an option like that, take an old world, and sort of "restart it", empty out most/all items, break down certain buildings like workbench upgrades, and go adding wear and tear in the same way it does to POI's etc. Would be a fun way to re-experience the world.

[regal spoke]

Yea the optimization patch where terraforming instance could be fixed with a console command on old saves

[near furnace]

just use genloc command?

[ember kraken]

I'm guessing he means before the big update that changed teh terraforming and how instances was calculated.

[near furnace]

or are you running even older than that version? like pre-H&H? 😮

[ember kraken]

He's just saying that having played from before that, he got used to be careful about the instances.

[regal spoke]

Yea these would be legacy at this point

Only one of those saves remain for me

[ember kraken]

Another fun thing with my old world, was that I found 3 or so spots of mistlands before it released, so got some of the different old style mistlands. Both the spider web kind, and some of the just flat empty kind.

[near furnace]

those are hard for enemies to navigate in

[ember kraken]

I had also found ashlands before it released, so made a base nearby and mined some "old flametal", and then ashlands update dropped and it completely warped the terrain, so now it looks like some kind of final fantasy post appocalypse floating islands wreck areas. And my base got stuck hanging in teh air and collapsed.

[regal spoke]

I wish I had just one of those saves with pre update Mistlands

[ember kraken]

So I decided to do the same for deep north, and made a small cave base right next to it before ashlands update. And that too got completely nuked, I have an entire BF under water.

It's really fun to go look at it.

[near furnace]

deep north just is.. green and connected landmass

kinda boring to be honest. as planned

[raven basin]

Need help my friend bought me valheim online but when i try to redeem the game it doesnt allow me I changed region on my Xbox it still not working #help

[ember kraken]

"Brave viking, do you dare go into the hardest biome of all, the dreaded Deep North! Where you will be challenged with the greatest challenge of all.... boredom!"

[regal spoke]

I had a save pre h&h where I found mountain that touched water. Pretty rare. I like these lil biome qwerks we can find.

[near furnace]

I don't know 100% but.
Mistlands was a mockup of what it might could have looked like. ashlands and deep north was completly empty since both wasn't even thought about yet. just generated as a landmass

[regal spoke]

I think that's cool stuff. I stayed off of deep north and south back then. But old Mistlands was pretty cool for being mostly empty

[subtle perch]

how farming works?

the skill i mean

[ember kraken]

Yeah, the "first" mistlands was really interesting, then you guys udpated it and it was just empty and cold. Ashlands was just empty red land with flametal nodes and surtlings. Deep north was just empty mountains in water with some floating ice.

[merry pebble]

[ember kraken]

Huh, didn't even realise there was a scythe ... haven't caught up with the recent changes. Just started re-playing again.

[merry pebble]

It came with the Bog Witch update 🙂

[ember kraken]

Yeah I haven't played since that update, so I have to play again and see what else is new.

[merry pebble]

You have quite a few things to look forward to then 😄 enjoy

[heady elm]

Well, yes. Kinda wanted to make a spawn/farm area for my blood magic

[heady elm]

It does have an open sky though, maybe not enough space around it

[opal prairie]

Then that might stop it from working any player base item has a radius of 20 or more for some that repress spawns.

[heady elm]

Ahh, alright thanks

[ember kraken]

Looks to be mostly 6000 instances. Think I was mostly struggling with fps drops (but done some upgrades to pc since then so seems to run better now)

[regal spoke]

Nice. That's what playing on original Xbox one felt like

[ember kraken]

Man, this base actually runs pretty nice now, I can actually use it again !

[smoky saddle]

That one moment when youre low on stamina, low on health and two deathsquitos fly at you from in front and behind at the exact same time.

Coordinated little mfs

[tiny tiger]

First thing I plan to do when deep north drops is launch myself by catapult and hopefully land next to a new structure or dungeon depending on what you guys have planned

[glad sundial]

Valheim makes rl seem like a video game.

[cosmic igloo]

yo this is actually a really good idea. or actually maybe not, kinda spoily

[vernal rain]

Does altering the terrain affect FPS? I know early on in the game it did, but is this still the case?

[merry pebble]

I believe it still does, but not nearly as much as it used to 🙂

[vernal rain]

I abandoned a huge build I was working on because my FPS would drop to 15 -- and I have a i9 with a 4090 and with 128 Gb of RAM

I started over on a new map and I'm avoiding altering the terrain, I hope it helps

[strange arrow]

the terrain modifications are pretty negligible now, but high instance count/dense builds would even affect a NASA pc

[vocal rivet]

That's a flex. Altering the terrain should have zero effect on that beast.

[merry pebble]

Alter as much as you want 😄 with how much the performence improved and your pc you will have no problem

[vernal rain]

That's what I thought too -- my instance count was very high, but its just so disheartening for the FPS to drop when you're building something so awesome...lol

[strange arrow]

indeed

[vernal rain]

I think my instance count in the areas that dropped to 15 FPS was like 90,000

[merry pebble]

Thats the price we pay for having no limit on the instance count 🙂

[strange arrow]

wow lol

[merry pebble]

That is still incredible performance xD

[regal spoke]

My box woulda melted

[vernal rain]

I need to go back and look, I think it was 90k

[merry pebble]

Most people will have less than 10fps at around 40k-60k xD

[vernal rain]

the build was a huge castle complex, had tons of iron inside the walls -- most of the instances are iron

Does spawning in large pillar rocks, etc affect FPS?

[regal spoke]

Trees make up a moderate amount of instances. I've cleared massive spaces of trees just to reduce the weight on an area.

[vernal rain]

This is interesting, never thought about that

[merry pebble]

Not that much i think 🤔 never tried myself tho, but yes, they do have instances, everything does

[strange arrow]

every object, even the smallest stump/bush/rock

[vernal rain]

what about objects inside chests?

[strange arrow]

if it's rendered it's an instance

[merry pebble]

Those do not i think

[vernal rain]

I had an almost complete storage room with organized chest filled with items

[strange arrow]

just the chest itself

[vernal rain]

ok

[near furnace]

try the command "optterrain"

[near furnace]

they actually do to some very very little degree actually

and teleporters in groups

[strange arrow]

i'd go through the build and remove all but the most needed iron supports, that should save a bunch

[near furnace]

nah. if it's ooold as he says. optterrain command will do wonders

[merry pebble]

Oh, portals are quite heavy on instances if activated no?

[near furnace]

not heavy

[strange arrow]

90k tho xD

[near furnace]

but more than just the instances as a build piece

[exotic cradle]

did for me years ago

[vernal rain]

I should show it to you some time -- I've tried it before and floors start falling out 🤣

[near furnace]

had worse 😄

[regal spoke]

Ninebyte has a very insightful video on instances

[strange arrow]

i bow to Smiffe superior knowledge but every little helps at that extreme

[near furnace]

you add to your own knowledge database 😉

[vernal rain]

I'm leaving work right now to go home and try optterrain -- I'll report back later tonight 😄

[near furnace]

optterrain only works in areas, so fly around (or run) and just spam the command over and over in places you modified terrain

terrain modifications use to be instances 👀

[regal spoke]

What's the radius of effect from our position

[near furnace]

not sure 🤔

150? 300? loaded in area?

I just spam until the command says "cannot optterrain anymore" 😄

[regal spoke]

Hehe

[vernal rain]

from a reddit, I think its 150m

[regal spoke]

That's pretty significant

[strange arrow]

also i missed the part where it was mentioned it was that old of a world/build

[regal spoke]

https://youtu.be/s_dAVrPiW5o?si=8_jvayCjFuOtgScQ

Must be a legacy save then yea?

[strange arrow]

wasn't optterrain phased out around H+H?

or the need for it at least

[regal spoke]

Pretty sure

[merry pebble]

It still can be used for older saves

[strange arrow]

that's going back a looong way

[exotic cradle]

it helped my old save a bunch back then

[regal spoke]

Same

They have small collision and move fast so they’d be great distractions in a fight

[regal spoke]

Armored Neck. Now that's a vision perfection

I'm picturing Neck with lil hoods on lolol

I can make this happen

[pliant hatch]

I'm wondering, if it almost got beheaded in a fight, will that neck become nearly headless Neck?

[light moat]

Armored necks when? 🤔
Neck with troll armor

[regal spoke]

My head went to Neck with wolf cape. But the hood up or something like that

Bookberries? What biome are those in, as I've never heard of those.

[vocal rivet]

I presume they mean bukeberries.

[pliant hatch]

bukeperries. Ah, that might make sense.

Although personally I don't like using them.

[vernal rain]

I was wrong

instances is around 55k

optterrain doesn't help, I guess my map isn't old enough

[shy marlin]

55k instances is a lot lol

[plush umbra]

how do u guys fight ticks if its alreadly latch on u? cause when i use demolisher it already stagger me and i cant hit it with melee

[pliant hatch]

Dodge roll

[plush umbra]

for real

but its already sucking u tho

[pliant hatch]

Best way to fight them is to make sure they don't even get on you.
Which is easier said as done when you're outside.
In an infested mine, however, using the demolisher, stagbreaker or sledge near the wooden walls / doors will kill them before the wall breaks.
And if not, an atgeir will cut them up pretty fast.

But if they're on you, rolling does the trick. Even while they drain your health.

[plush umbra]

(rolling shakes them off)

[plush umbra]

i see tnx

I hate that I stupidly read this thread and I hate that it upset me. https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/cHCjsA6lRY

[hidden gorge]

To be clear, this is by no means a critique of the content on the Fandom wiki or the amazing people who keep it up to date. What I am fed up with is the fact that the website is barely usable with all the ads and javascript that cause Chrome to hang.

I mean... I haven't tried browsing the web without adblock or noscript for a long while, I suspect its not related to the content itself so much as the site + infrastructure

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, I know, and I partially agree, the experience isn't wonderful without an account / ad block, but it's hard to not take it personally all the same.

Especially some of the other comments.

Meh, we'll get one content patch in and it'll end up woefully out of date.

[sour furnace]

If I don't have very many poison resists (4), and am playing on max raid rate, assuming I advanced to and mostly* through the iron age already, is it better for me to wait to fight bonemass so I have no wolf or drake raids, or get bonemass anyways? (Temporary base so wooden)

[regal spoke]

I'll go ahead and say it. I appreciate the entire community that's enriched us beyond the game. Much love

[zealous bobcat]

I havent played since ashlands dropped and my fps was getting worse the more i grew my base, has that been improved at all? I thought i saw some patch note lines on it somewhere..

Like better performance in high instances or something

[vocal rivet]

Performance is much better than the when the biome was first released and there's another patch in the works right now.

Though obviously if you're still pushing 10-12k+ instances in a base you're going to start having FPS drops.

[regal spoke]

Is there a fix or is it just the way it is? The game runs beautifully most of the time. We've improved a bunch as is.

[tepid prawn]

I also have no idea how it is without good adblocking and noscript, I never have seen an ad on there 🙂

[olive stag]

me and the bukeperries squad pulling up to raid a troll cave

[west egret]

is there any plans to add npc areas and followers and stuff?

[vocal rivet]

No. Valheim isn't a MMO.

[west egret]

you dont have to be a mmo to have npc to help you and other viking to fight?

[vocal rivet]

It certainly doesn't fit Valheim.

[west egret]

im not seeing how not if you have friends cool but having npc in place of no friends is the same your killing all the stuff that was banished here and your telling me your the only viking or nord to be sent here but a butt ton of monsters got sent? hate the idea but dont say it dont fit the theme?

[tepid prawn]

We already have friends, Boar, Wolves, Dvergr & the other tames, Haldor Hildir BogWitch!

[vocal rivet]

A butt ton of monsters? Only the Forsaken

[ember kraken]

The closest we get is some tameable creatures can help out in combat.

Haven't seen any sign of the devs wanting to add npcs past a few traders and some neutrals in later biomes. And it would likely be quite a bit of work adding useful npc's than what we got (whole new AI so they can actually not die to everything, likely equipable, using food bonuses etc). So not something I imagine they'd want to start on.

[tepid prawn]

Its imho not really needed, game is perfectly soloable, and it would distract from the added fun of actual human players, one of the main reasons I'm running Valheim servers

[west egret]

yes monster every type of enemy is also a type of monster geesh

[ember kraken]

That said, there's probably some mods that can add various npc's. I haven't really looked into that in a while, so not sure what's available atm.

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, who were already there...

[chrome badge]

There's a balance in place when you are playing with friends that increases boss's health, this would need to be applied should you have NPC Vikings helping you out, effectively negating a lot of their purpose.

[tepid prawn]

If you ever felt like you needed more NPC friends you clearly have never had a 200 head strong 2 star wolf army to help you fight Yagluth!

[vocal rivet]

Did... did they leave?

[steady bough]

Just you being you. Thats the 3rd person ive witnessed leave after conversing with you. that is impressive

[tepid prawn]

Back to chatting about Valheim only now please 😛 I'm very happy with fixes and optimizations on PTB right now, having some of that done before other patches is always great.

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much straight on till Deep North now.

[robust token]

I have mastered dodging with 250ms ping

Just wacked a stone golem with pickaxe while dodging most of its' attacks, satisfaction

[tepid prawn]

I did that when I played an MMO on EU servers from Australia

[robust token]

For a second I thought I'm playing dark souls

[tepid prawn]

Probably, because we already had an inbetween patch, but who is to say there is not another smaller one before DN, I still think DN is further away then people think, but maybe I'm wrong on that, we shall know sometime in the future.

There wasn't any hints of any other patches from anywhere, all were saying just full Steam ahead on DN, but DN is also 1.0 and will bring some extras because of that, they may decide to bring something out before the main patch? But yeah pure speculation and I have stated my opinion plenty of times before --- its all "LET THEM COOK" they know what they're doing!

[echo crest]

I like stuff on PTB even before Deep North. Like what they have in there right now. Very good to have technical improvements, optimizations and bug fixes, and i wouldnt mind even small tweaks and improvements to content before Deep North. Less stuff to finetune when Deep North lands.

[tepid prawn]

Looking at maps, has someone noticed that some maps have quite a different amount of crypts or am I not looking properly with my old man eyesight? some maps seem to have decent swamps with 8-10 or much more crypts only like 3-4 of them, some others have 10 of these bigger swamps

[tiny tiger]

Not sure if this is a theme for all worlds but I’m noticing swamps near plains consistently having less crypts than say a swamp island all on its own

[echo crest]

I usually take a look of a seed with the online seed generator, to see if it has plenty of swamp crypts. Of course without spoiling too much...

[vocal rivet]

Pure chance, as usual.

[tiny tiger]

#screenshots message this swamp is absolutely stacked

[plush umbra]

the game tries to fill the map with a certain amount of each point of interest.
iirc, post-mistlands update, the count for crypts should be...175? (it was 400 before iirc, lowered since because swamp coverage was severely reduced)
the game (as far as i know) doesn't go out of its way make sure that each biome gets a certain amount of land covered since the rules that are already in place don't allow for cases extreme enough to be worth preventing.
i could imagine that some worlds just get slightly less swamp land than would be convenient for the 175 crypts to spread comfortably so they get squeezed together more than we're used to, but that's just a guess.

[tiny tiger]

Do we know the requirements the game uses when deciding where a swamp is placed? I’ve just tried generating multiple random seeds and I’m consistently seeing less crypts around swamps directly next to plains

[plush umbra]

hmmm, can't think of a possible connection there personally

[echo crest]

I use words that have meaning to me, so that they are easier to remember

[chrome badge]

I can't say the same, I randomly generated a few seeds, most of the crypts were on islands next to plains.

[echo crest]

seed 2024 has some nice crypts relatively close without plains etc

[plush umbra]

gosh i always pick specific words too, but then i happened to find my dream seed while doing a worldgen experiment so i ended up with heckin kMTq28lMJ8, of which i can still only consistently remember the first 4 characters

[tiny tiger]

I think the connection I’m making is the coastline tbh, swamps directly next to plains tend to be coastline swamps and the swamp visualisation on the map is deceptively larger than the actual swamp, so there’s less space for the chance for a crypt to generate

[echo crest]

Seed Sweden looks interesting too

[chrome badge]

My favorite seed is "JimDwight", but I recently started a playthrough on the seed "Starheim" and the placements and land sizes are so choice. 👌

[tiny tiger]

Y’all take a look at the seed ‘Disenchant’ real quick, got a fat swamp and huge continents

[chrome badge]

The Bonemass & Moder being so close makes me wonder if they'd fight eachother.

[ember kraken]

Sadly nope :(

[chrome badge]

B'aww

[ember kraken]

All the bosses are a own faction that only fights the player faction.

[tiny tiger]

Wait where are you seeing that

[chrome badge]

It's directly north.

[echo crest]

I like to have the early stuff like elder and eikthyr available, then some swamps, but dont mind if i have to travel a bit for moder and others. Even by boat

[tiny tiger]

They’re separated by ocean for me on ‘Disenchant’

Personally I like lots of tiny islands. Haven't found many yet :(

Oh im dumb https://valheim-map.world/?seed=Disenchantment&offset=-1118%2C3275&zoom=0.600&view=0&ver=0.219.13

I’m viewing on mobile and it looked like it sliced the name up to just Disenchant in the text box

Seed is actually ‘Disenchantment’ 🤦‍♂️

Looks amazing tho I wanna check it out in game

That swamp really is impressive.

that's funny, the site's own text box won't let me type more characters than "Disenchant", but i can edit the URL to spell "Disenchantment" (same as clicking that link) and it actually generates a seed

makes me wanna check if there actually is a 10 character limit in-game

[tiny tiger]

So this seed is impossible?

[chrome badge]

Yeah iirc there's a character limit

[tiny tiger]

Aw man

[plush umbra]

there definitely is, i just wanna check if it's 10~

[ember kraken]

Dang, I kinda liked that one

[plush umbra]

yepp, Disenchantment is impossible

did the mobile site let you type that into the box? that might be a bug worth reporting

[tiny tiger]

I guess stacked swamps are entirely theoretical 😢

Damn, that surely would've been handy for those running low on crypts in their worlds.

Desktop site on mobile doesn’t open up keyboard when I tap the text box lol

[plush umbra]

pretty sure i've seen some beefy swamps post-mistlands, but i'm not certain

[ember kraken]

Liked it more for the mid sized islands around the start, and even nearby mountains tall enough for silver.

[tiny tiger]

Now I wanna see what other impossible seeds I could generate tbh, what’s the character limit for the map gen lol

[plush umbra]

10

but impossible seeds shouldn't be any different from possible ones
