[plush umbra]

same flavour of random

[tiny tiger]

I mean surely it breaks if I type 99 9’s in the URL

Doesn’t seem like there’s a limit

[plush umbra]

decided to check how a seed i found back in 2022 is doing today, still pretty packed

[tiny tiger]

That looks almost identical to the swamp on the impossible seed ‘Disenchantment’

[ember kraken]

Well there are patterns that repeat.

[tiny tiger]

So basically this is the supreme pattern for swamp gen

[plush umbra]

the funny thing is that the very next "super-swamp" seed i found had the same swamp shape on the same island shape, almost the same location. (the swamp layer is moved north slightly on the second seed)
both are repeating patterns indeed, but for them to line up like that is just funny to me

[tepid prawn]

Looks quite decent, but starter island is sooo big, not perfect to me but like 70% the way there

[ember kraken]

Someone made a "map" of all the landmass tiles and posted it long ago, you can probably find it and see if there's another swamp layout that might be bigger/better?

[echo crest]

Seed Ashlands has some interesting swamp locations

[tiny tiger]

The thing is that map won’t help without knowing how to influence the seed letters and numbers to make it align where swamp can generate

[tepid prawn]

I have now 4 tabs loading the maps mentioned ....

[echo crest]

Hey cant send images here

[plush moon]

Does Askvin Cloak count towards the 3 pieces needed for the set bonus?

[tiny tiger]

Nope

[plush umbra]

that person may be me
but biomes each use their own pattern independent of the island shapes, so knowing the shapes alone won't help you find biomes, and i don't think anyone's made maps of the biome patterns yet

[tepid prawn]

Winter has a higher discord rank

[echo crest]

Oh okay

[chrome badge]

The seed "Talongard" is actually really interesting, everything is really spaced out nicely. Some nice biome formations happening here.

[echo crest]

Anyway seed "Ashlands" has some nice crypts in upper right of the starting island

[plush moon]

So I have to do all the pieces of Askvin, good to know ty

[plush umbra]

(at least if it's this messy old one that i never got to updating.
there's a cleaner one out there but i keep forgetting where i saved it.
but yea, both maps are only relevant for the underlying shape of the islands. the only biomes that are dictated by that shape are mountains and oceans, which generate at the two extremes of terrain height. well, technically every biome is, since the rest can only generate between those extremes, and swamp is even more restricted upwards.)

[tiny tiger]

Does the map wrap round at some point? It’s hard to tell with so much noise lol

[plush umbra]

it doesn't.
it's a 42x42 kilometer square that your map is randomly placed inside of.
if you were to force the game to not generate the world's edge, you'd see an apparently infinite expanse of island shapes you could never get on a vanilla map, as Jere once demonstrated to me.
though as far as i know, there's nothing super interesting immediately beyond the border of the 42x42 km square

[tiny tiger]

With the map being a circle that means we will never see the islands right in the corners of this square right

[plush umbra]

point being that this pattern does not seem to be custom-made, the game seems to be procedurally generating island shapes on the spot, but with the same exact calculation each time, so the result is always the same, and the center of said result is just moved around by 21x21 km (the square area of a world), thus creating a 42x42 km area of shapes you can get

[plush umbra]

yepp

[tepid prawn]

for my liking, you either get good swamps or a good starter island with lots of burial chambers and other cool things, not both haha

mostly in terms of multiplayer consideration

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if there will be the potential for 1.0 or post 1.0 unlocking this limitaton

Or a world modifier or something to retain all the OG pre 1.0 seeds

[echo crest]

I wish the seed generator could be ordered to hide some bosses. I mean, i want to see eithkyr and elder, maybe bonemass, but not others...

[ember kraken]

Always amused that people are so obsessed about Iron, never really been very interested in Iron myself. That said, was talking with a couple of buddies from various discords to try to setup a dedicated together, so if that happens, I might get to experience first hand peoples hunger for Iron or not :p

[tepid prawn]

you could donate and ask to the creator

[tepid prawn]

pickaxe is relavent long time, same for axe (no silver tools etc, not bm pickaxe until mist wood, then people who build with stone, all the forge upgrades, chests with iron (some people avoid the bm ones...) havent even talked about armour and weapons yet, also mistlands weapons need it, silver sword needs iron.... on a server with 20 people....

[plush umbra]

i'm a builder and don't like to run out of materials while building...or calculate exactly how much i'm gonna need, so my goal is always to overcompensate by what feels like 5000%, which can be pretty painful for iron
and the more tedious a resource is to grind, the more i push myself to grind more of it just in case i get to spare future me from it by doing so

[tepid prawn]

if you don't have 20 Drakkar loads of iron are you even playing the game 🤣

[ember kraken]

The pickaxe is about the only thing I care about, preferably 2 more for a stone cutter. But then I'm good to go to mountain! ^_^

[tiny tiger]

Yeah when you wanna make big builds having easy access to iron helps, I’m currently constantly low on iron which is putting a big dent in my time trying to build a castle

[ember kraken]

I've had exactly 2 builds so far that needed iron pillars.

[plush umbra]

i guess that mindset also stems from a time when iron was the only max tier structural support material, now even copper can do the job

[tepid prawn]

I don't like the non iron chests for instance, also I need a few longboats I m a viking 1 or 2 is not enough, then I do build with stone

[tiny tiger]

Please clarify?

[plush umbra]

the dvergr metal wall has the same support tier as iron stuff

[tiny tiger]

No way

[ember kraken]

Haha, I tend to just stick to the karve, it works well enough for anyting save the longest of treks.

[tepid prawn]

and flametal beams are even better, and so easy to get! 🤣

[plush umbra]

it requires a black forge so it isn't available as early, but yea it's the same stability unless you're looking for something more horizontal, since there isn't a dvergr metal ceiling like there is for iron

[ember kraken]

But yeah, my building style doesn't really need much iron, so probably why I never really understood why people where so obsessed with it.

[echo crest]

Weapons need a lot of iron to upgrade fully

[tiny tiger]

And the black forge can be teleported pre stone portal too

[plush umbra]

my style's all over the place.
most of the time i do cozy tiny homes, but every now and then i make some absurdly huge plan that eats up a ton of resources.

[tepid prawn]

balconies with a stone floor and ground level stone floors if there is a basement underneath can only be very small if you do not use iron support

[tiny tiger]

What makes flametal beams better than iron or copper structural supports?

[plush umbra]

and that, yea
how much iron you need for progression strongly depends on what you make.
i'll admit, i make barely any iron equipment myself specifically because i wanna save iron, but new players wanna experiment, which often costs iron 😅

[tepid prawn]

afaik gives a little more stability then iron or copper in some directions

[tiny tiger]

Oo

When it comes to iron I try to only make the pickaxe and longships and make do with bronze until silver lol

[plush umbra]

same~

[echo crest]

Seed "Catsnose" looks to have plenty of iron if you travel a bit north and short boatride

[tepid prawn]

also depends how fast you want to play through, and how much you want to farm

[plush umbra]

now i wanna pet my cat
-# oh my god it's 8 am what am i doing

[tepid prawn]

why only 1 cat 😛

[plush umbra]

because the other cat does not like pets ;v;

or well, she purrs until she hisses...while still purring

[tepid prawn]

ah , I have 2 and someone on our server has 5!

[tiny tiger]

I usually ease off the gas when I get the feather cape, I think on my 1.0 fresh playthrough I will try to spend more time in each biome tho

[tepid prawn]

I sometimes set my own goals like a) craft 3 weapons each biome excluding bow b) build minimum 1 fully functional biome appropriate base in each biome

[tiny tiger]

Have you included ocean in that? Like a lighthouse or something

[plush umbra]

kinda difficult to build a lighthouse in the ocean biome

[tiny tiger]

Yeah I’m thinking a tiny ass island with just enough space for a lighthouse and nothing else, bonus is you get to pick the music depending on the actual biome you have there

[tepid prawn]

5 tiny islands surrounded 100% by ocean is my Mistlands base on the build server

[plush umbra]

fun fact though: i have seen at least one island with a shore that dropped into the ocean so steep that a black forest rock on the shore reached all the way into the actual ocean biome, so it is possible

[tepid prawn]

also 100% mistfree naturally

[ember kraken]

I gotta admit that I tend to play sort of to see how little I can/need to grind. So I tend to try to find ways to do as little as possible in each biome.

Mostly sabotaged by the time gated stuff, and spend that time usually building while crops grow or waiting for kilns/smelters etc.

[tepid prawn]

so more speedrun-like

[tiny tiger]

time gates are myths, there’s so many things you can be doing while that’s happening

[tepid prawn]

I've done that too, Elder in 1h after start and such

[ember kraken]

Not really speedrun, as I don't really care about the time. I just enjoy .... optimizing away grind :p

[echo crest]

Time gate?

[tiny tiger]

Crops growing, brewing meads etc

I’ve seen a few YouTubers where say they beat boneless and only then start brewing frost resistance and show a montage of them just waiting or something

When you can start brewing frost resistance basically as soon as youve stepped into the biome

[ember kraken]

Yeah

[tepid prawn]

or just campfire, stagbreaker and a few wolf pelts, no need for frost resi mead

or even lox cape is cheaper

[tiny tiger]

No mead playthrough

[ember kraken]

Been there done that.

[tepid prawn]

Ah the elusive sober playthrough

[tiny tiger]

Not if you go mage

[ember kraken]

I used to do "exiles" back on my old save. I'd pick a random island that had all 5 biomes meadows -> plains, and dump myself there with nothing, and build up from scratch again with whatever was on that island.

Did one long long island with no bees >_<

[tiny tiger]

Those magic mushshrooms there’s something about them

[plush umbra]

lox cape my beloved
i always just make the wolf armor chestpiece
if you use heavy armor, you're gonna make that chestpiece sooner or later anyway, so why bother making the wolf cape first - if you have the wolf armor chestpiece, the wolf cape offers nothing unique anymore.

[ember kraken]

Wolf cape is coolest cape ^_^

[plush umbra]

it looks like a wet towel

[tepid prawn]

depends on style though, I prefer wolf cape for wolf armour, but often run root nowadays and that clashes, need lox cape for that or deer before you get that

[ember kraken]

Hey, no dissing the lox cape, just because it... well does look like a wet carpet....

[tepid prawn]

linen cape looks cool but .. its sad....

[echo crest]

It is useful to have the cape around at least, if you die while wearing the wolf armor at mountains and need to get it back, you can then wear cape from a chest without freezing

[plush umbra]

nothing to diss about the lox cape, it's perfection~
one of the first capes to understand that you need some width on your sillouette to actually look intimidating

[tepid prawn]

also just goes so well with root

[ember kraken]

Lox blankets are my favourites though, so every time I see the lox cape I can't stop thinking someone tripped in my carpets, and it got stuck to their helm, and they dragged it outside.

[tiny tiger]

Lox cape goes kinda hard with frostner and black metal shield

[plush umbra]

the only thing it doesn't go hard with, ironically, is the wolf armor chestpiece imo.
because the neck fluff on that armor is so weirdly high resolution and repetitive, it sticks out like a sore thumb when it clips with the lox cape's comparately very low-res neck fluff texture

so that's a case for the wolf cape that even my very anti-wolf-cape taste will agree with

[tiny tiger]

Devs are prob cooking up the perfect armor sets for deep north 👀

[ember kraken]

Wolfarmour v2 ! Slightly more blue.

[chrome badge]

Flametal Armor is a bit bland if not for the helmet

[tiny tiger]

It’s got interesting ideas for sure with the bones around your chest and upper back

I think it’s just too dark for my liking, the wolf armor with the shiny drake helmet is snazzy

[chrome badge]

I suppose, it just didn't give the same atmosphere I felt from other sets I guess

[tepid prawn]

I love it especially pants too

[ember kraken]

Hmm, I haven't crafted that yet... I went mage the one time I went through ashlands, as I was playing with buddy with bad internet, so since he always ran ahead, I got all the lag, so I gave up on parrying and dodging, and went mage instead.

[tiny tiger]

I like the mistlands mage armor with the red but not so much the Ashland’s mage armor

I find it interesting how on the wiki the eitr weave set is paired with the feather cape but the flametal armor isn’t paired with the ashen cape

[chrome badge]

That is odd

[finite compass]

guys why i cant raise ground in valheim

[tiny tiger]

Have you already raised it to its limit?

[chrome badge]

Is your tool broken? Do you have the stone necessary?

[finite compass]

what do you mean i raised it in the left but i cant in the right

[tiny tiger]

Show pics in #valheim-help

[finite compass]

my house is levitating 😭

[ember kraken]

That does indeed sound like you've reached the max height. You can only raise terrain +8m up from it's starting position.

[tacit crystal]

Gotta ask, have you ever found any seed that contains the 1# highest mountain on top of the map?

[strange arrow]

hm, well that goes back what i was saying originally then, best practice to remove anything unnecessary (nearby trees/rocks/bushes), picking apart a build can be real pain but you only "need" iron reinforcement around every 4m to keep it supported vertically, then it's a case of trimming down on decorations

[strange arrow]

the one Winter nicknamed Polaris?

[tacit crystal]

Oh she has named them? I stumbled upon the same picture on Reddit but with greater details of most mountains possibly found. This one: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1antqx9/valheim_master_map/

But yeah, the "Polaris" mountain.

[strange arrow]

yeh if you know how it looks you can pick it out on any generated seed (that contains it) afaik

[tacit crystal]

I know, but it never has appeared in my searches. "Thorn" and "Hook" are more common but I've never came across a seed with "Polaris".

[strange arrow]

weird, i never sought it specifically but it may just be rarer due to it's position on the super map

i'm psure Winter has showed pics of it before

[tacit crystal]

Yeah she has.

[strange arrow]

i think the 175 number is correct as well, and from what i've seen since the older generation yr guess about crypts being more condensed than before seems accurate, from memory we used to have to travel quite a bit further between each one than nowdays

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[covert viper]

how high can you build with stone

[echo crest]

Hey man dont get high or stoned.

[covert viper]

sigh

[ember kraken]

Don't really remember how high stone goes, haven't experimented with that in years. But pretty sure you can find a picture with all the different heights if you google something about it.

[strange arrow]

30m without iron support iirc

or that might be with iron support, someone had a graphic with all the max build heights

[tiny tiger]

I think it’s 24m without

6 of the 4m tall ones stacked on top of each other

[tribal trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1r5Ddr5inI

[tiny tiger]

Oh mb they’re 4 wide 2 tall lol

[tribal trench]

Thats a good one about stone

covers height i think

[tiny tiger]

Just checked vid and I’m wrong lol it’s 16m 8 x 2m stone blocks up

[tiny tiger]

16m

[covert viper]

how high is the longboat mast lol

[tiny tiger]

Gonna have to consult the wiki for that one

[strange arrow]

yup 16m without iron and 28m with (but i'm sure you can get to 30m) according to the wiki picture

[tribal trench]

are you making a bridge for your longship to sail under

[covert viper]

I want to

[tribal trench]

ahh then I suggest you try a moonbridge

[covert viper]

quickly Google moonbridge

[strange arrow]

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

[strange arrow]

that one i am sure of, 12m

[tribal trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdYQ41mD5HY&t=718s <----- This video is a good one that you can scale up in your world

[bleak heath]

guys

how am i supposed to find the leviathan ?

when i played 3 years maybe 2 i found some like in less then 1h

rn i been sailing for like 3 hours and no leviathan

[ember kraken]

Not really any tricks to it, pure rng.

[bleak heath]

is there a chance thta i dont get 1 spawning in my world ?

[ember kraken]

No they spawn,

[bleak heath]

oh dang dang it

[covert viper]

I just hope it can be high enough while still being wide

[strange arrow]

ye it's quite possible to be sailing a long time and not see any, then you might come across a bunch of them close to each other

[covert viper]

I saw 3 in one trip💀

[bleak heath]

god damn

[ember kraken]

I've had games where I found a levi within sight of the starting island, and I've had games I didn't find any (because I didn't need to sail constantly). It's just completely random where they get placed.

[tribal trench]

I will post a video of mine in self promotion so you can see it works

[bleak heath]

atleast i got to see the serpent before the kraken

[covert viper]

I didn't even know if was a leviathan my boyfriend was like ayo go get jt

[ember kraken]

If you're willing to cheat a bit, you can load your seed into the web-map, and make it show the levi's

[bleak heath]

lmao

[bleak heath]

i tried to look but i dont get a option to view levis

maybe im blind idk

[ember kraken]

I used to be able to before, but I haven't tested in a while.

[covert viper]

I got attacked by a serpent lmao so I fled and jf followed me until jt beach itself where I beat it to death with a wooden club😂

[bleak heath]

lmao ai thinking is next lvl

[covert viper]

real

[bleak heath]

yall (2hByxiEIXu) this is my seed if anyone could find me the leviathans i would really apreciate it cuz i just wanna advance xd

[ember kraken]

There's an option for the levis, but dang it's slow to load.

[bleak heath]

there is dang ig i am blind after all

[nimble moss]

You can search by location and just tell it to generate you maps in that part of the world. From memory though that mountain is offset that it cannot be near spawn, but it can be “north” of spawn.

[tiny tiger]

That mountain is the perfect launch point for when deep north is out tbh

[tacit crystal]

Yeah I figured it could be in northern part of the world. But how do you "tell" it to generate that part?

[nimble moss]

I’m on my phone. I’ll be back my PC in 20mins and I’ll post you where to click.

[bleak heath]

bruh i found only 1 kraken

after 3-4 hardcore hours of sailing

thats actually tuff

[strange arrow]

pretty unfortunate, but i have heard similar stories in the past

[tiny tiger]

Not sure how many spawn per world but there’s a chance for them to generate out of bounds off the edge of the map

[bleak heath]

it started sinking when i only mined 3 of the ores

[ember kraken]

I keep forgetting that levi's are a thing tbh, I never have a need for anything from them or serpents.

[bleak heath]

the knife is nice

[exotic cradle]

Knife is insane early game

[ember kraken]

It would be, if there was any point in bringing a knife to the swamp :p

[exotic cradle]

Not swamp but it can 1shot a troll

[bleak heath]

im on the elder so it still works

[echo crest]

A knife can oneshot a troll? What? The first knife?

[deft moat]

hi

[tacit crystal]

3rd one.

[strange arrow]

also if you don't have a harpoon and are into taming/breeding, invaluable

[ember kraken]

Yeah just don't have trouble with trolls at that point, and generally going into swamp, so tend to be bronze mace at that point.

And it's pretty rare that I start on an island that doesn't have enough BF, that I can't get ready for swamp.

[strange arrow]

some players dislike the method of moving tames around since the harpoon does a bit of damage to them but feeding them heals them back up

[echo crest]

Third one? Abyssal Razor? Hmm. ive never had that

[tacit crystal]

It's incredible if you stumble upon it early. Basically iron age tier weapon.

[ember kraken]

I remember first time I found it, on my way to BF, and went "this thing is awesome!". But then in later games I've just went "Meeh, no use."

[echo crest]

Yeah... so not that useful against trolls if its so difficult to get.

[bleak heath]

idk today is not a good day i cant sail cuz wind always against me for somea reason im in storm always

[echo crest]

Is 2nd knife or copper knife fully upgraded lot worse?

[tacit crystal]

It has its uses in swamps too.

[ember kraken]

fully upgraded copper knife should be same damage as level 1 chitin. They usually are.

[bleak heath]

i found that witch with the tshirt icon

and still no kraken thats crazy

[echo crest]

I've used bronze sword in swamps mostly. Although blunt weapon is also useful, and virtually mandatory at bonemass

[ember kraken]

I see nothing crazy in that.

[tacit crystal]

Fully upgraded copper knife has 15 pierce 15 slash vs fully upgraded abyssal razor 23 pierce 23 slash.

[bleak heath]

do yall got any site where i could see the krakens on my seed ?

i went to seed finder but i dont have a option for krakens

[ember kraken]

Just google valheim map

[echo crest]

Well, not that big of a difference? Maybe if not oneshot a troll, twoshot? 🙂 Havent tried really

[bleak heath]

i went on that one it doesnt have the leviathan option

[tacit crystal]

Look out "miscellaneous".

[ember kraken]

https://valheim-map.world/ I found levis on that

[tacit crystal]

In regards of knifes, it is huge difference. Trolls are weak against pierce damage, unalerted attacks have 6x damage multiplier, and secondary attack has 3x damage multiplier.

[echo crest]

You gotta get very close to them then, without being detected, and thats difficult

[ember kraken]

I tend to just prefer flint spear and finewood bow against trolls, they die easily enough with that, that I've never felt a need to grab another weapon against them.

[tacit crystal]

It's not that difficult tbh.

[echo crest]

Okay. Never thought to try it...

[robust token]

What weapon can stun trolls again?

[tacit crystal]

Not even tried flint spear? Am blind, sorry.

[tacit crystal]

Bronze atgeir secondary attack has that ability to stagger easily.

[ember kraken]

Generally doing damage also does stagger damage. So almost anything with piercing damage in BF tier can stun a troll with a few hits.

[robust token]

Other types of Atgeir should also work, right?

[opal prairie]

I really like the abyssal razor against trolls.
Sneak close, lunge attack in the back, if they don't die right out, stabby stabby troll.
Arrow to the head, follow up arrows if they aren't dead and they get close, lunge attack and stabby stabby troll.
Coupled with a buckler.

[ember kraken]

I find the easiest to be finewood bow sneak attack to the head, and just keep shooting, it usually get staggered at 3rd hit or so. Depending on bow skill.

[tacit crystal]

Even easier since other atgeirs are stronger, bronze is the weakest.

[robust token]

Alright, nice

I'm between the Mountains and Moder rn, looking for a decent weapon for the area

(Been to the Mountains, haven't fought Moder)

[tacit crystal]

Fang spear, Frostner (well, not for golems or Moder but else).

[ember kraken]

I like Fang spear and Iron Mace for mountain.

[tacit crystal]

True, iron mace for golems is the best option.

[nimble moss]

You could start with "jk6gyBH0b2".

Then you click the drop down arrow next to Random - it should say 'pin map center' -> click edit. It brings up another screen - click "save and generate".

Now each time you click Random it will try to find another seed with that general map

[ember kraken]

Honestly the iron mace works great against wolves and anything else you can melee in mountain. So I tend to just use that. And sometimes craft something else for Moder.

[nimble moss]

the mountain seems forced to be right at the edge of Deep North

[tacit crystal]

Ah right, I know that "pin map center" option, I thought something else trick to get random seed for that location lol.

[robust token]

Not Pickaxes? >:)

[tacit crystal]

Thanks thought!

[nimble moss]

yeah - you pin it - then you generate random seeds for that location?

[tacit crystal]

Well, you can go on top of one and pick pick, but it's slower than using mace.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I've used that for some seeds for seeing different worlds.

[robust token]

It still works from the side, but yeah sure I can use my iron mace

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, seems like in that seed with the "Polaris" mountain is just in position where it gets cut with an ocean between the mountain and DN biomes.

But interestingly there is another mountain with a peak over 400 meters.

[nimble moss]

yes - there are 3x over 400m - Polaris, Hook and Thorn. If you google 'valheim map mountains' - someone has posted the master map with them

I'd post the pic here - but not able 🙂

[bleak heath]

guys do any of yall got a seed with a existing kraken location ?

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message 🙂

[nimble moss]

yeah - there's a "better" version - Ive posted it here now: #screenshots message

[tacit crystal]

I know those 3 yes, but if you look out the seed you shared you can find another mountain over 400m in -2280, 5390 (coordinates).

[tiny tiger]

Are the ones with daggers above 400m? What does it signify

[nimble moss]

arh yep - there are 3-4 others like that, yes

[nimble moss]

the top 3 biggest - named.

Then 3-4 others not named but 375m+ tall-ish. Can be over 400m depending on map RNG terrian

[tiny tiger]

I see, is there a reason for there being 2 heights one on blue brackets

[nimble moss]

I cant remember. I didnt make this image - was created 1-2 years ago by someone else - and I honestly cant recall who. Was actually a reddit post from memory

[strange arrow]

seems like the blue bracketed heights are all +30m, probably rng terrain range

[ember kraken]

2hByxiEIXu

1 in the sea directly west from spawn. And 3 next to each others right south o that past a small island.

[valid minnow]

is the only way to make a server that doesnt require host to be online a dedicated server?

[tiny tiger]

Yes

[valid minnow]

is it free or costs money

[tiny tiger]

Unless the host leaves his pc on or makes his pc the dedicated server

[valid minnow]

where do i purchase it?

[tiny tiger]

I got 3 months of hosting for like £30

There’s many options the one I had was Gportal, didn’t have any issues but at the same time I never had more than like 3 people on at one time

Not sure how it fares with larger player groups

[bleak heath]

oh damn thanks a lot now i can finally make the knife and harpoon!

[valid minnow]

what do slots mean?

[strange arrow]

depends on chunkmaster, and connection

[tiny tiger]

Player slots

How many players can be on at one time

[strange arrow]

limited to 10 players without mods

(servers may allow more but the game doesn't, as standard)

[echo crest]

Can you see from the unofficial seed generator if the seed has those tall mountains?

[tiny tiger]

If you know what it looks like on the map yeah, but it doesn’t explicitly mention them and their heights on it

[echo crest]

I suppose i dont know it :/

[tiny tiger]

You wanna look for landmasses on your world with distinct shapes and find them on the master map

[tacit crystal]

You can also enable Y axis for seeing heights.

[echo crest]

Thanks for the tips

What is the highest possible height for a mountain?

[tacit crystal]

I've stumbled upon a mountain with 470m (in my current world).

[echo crest]

Wow

[tacit crystal]

Had to build a mountain outpost with launch area there (with catapult lol).

[echo crest]

Are the tall mountains always far from spawn, or can they appear anywhere?

Seed Sweden has at least one mountain at least 453 m tall

[wet night]

i would like to actually see the list of things that are not available in certain distance from starting place

[tacit crystal]

That depends on the seed, I've seen one very tall around 2000ish meters from spawn.

[echo crest]

Wow thats tall

[near furnace]

there is a command called "pos" in the game that will give you, your position in X,Y,Z

[tacit crystal]

I mean, not 2000m tall mountain, to be precise.

[robust token]

I have a mountain across the map while my friend's mountain is next to spawn

:)

Anyways I asked for some spare silver

[tacit crystal]

Actually, around 1000 meters from spawn. The "Thorn" mountain (420ish meters tall).

[near furnace]

did you send a email btw? 😉

[echo crest]

Not yet :). Busy with other stuff at the moment.

Also some annoying renovation noise in my apartment...

[nimble moss]

they can be anywhere apart from literally the start itself

[echo crest]

Okay, good to know

[nimble moss]

i.e. you can generate a map where your spawn is like 400m off the Moder spawn on a tall mountain.

r8SH3iKIjz is the closest known Moder to spawn that I found - 372m

I used it for some WR stuff

Moder is closer than Eikthyr 😉

[ember kraken]

That's kind of nice, getting the only 2 bosses I really care about that close together.

[nimble moss]

Elder isnt too far. All three traders on the same landmass to the SE as well if you want it (with another Elder that way too)

[shy marlin]

👀 new blog post

[regal spoke]

In B4 When's the next blog post after this one coming out

[narrow arch]

||they are so fucking cuteee
No way i'm killing them ||

spoiler for the blog post

[hazy widget]

You know I've become too analytic, when the first thing I see in the new voyage video, is the armor Z-fighting at 0:16

[regal spoke]

You haven't seen it enough. I don't notice it much at all anymore.

[hazy widget]

Also, if those creatures in the video are accurate to scottish and nordic folklore, then they will NOT be harmless. Quite the contrary.

[exotic cradle]

I dont care they can murder me a thousand times

[hazy widget]

I wouldn't mind either. I'm still angry over dying to a fireball knocking me off my basalt platform in the ashlands (Yep that is a thing, and it's stupid).

[oak river]

But you'll be so warm after you make clothes of them

And I bet they'll make the best soup you've ever tasted

[hazy widget]

I wonder if the music in the Deep North will be dynamic (The deeper you go, the more sinister the music becomes)

[simple anchor]

Does anyone know if there are plans for equipment enchantment with RNG elements?

[hazy widget]

Oh god no.

That's Black Desert and Terraria all over again.

"Enhancement failed at 99% chance" "Enhancement failed because it did" "Enhancement failed, failed, failed, failed"

[merry pebble]

Not that we know of, and hope there isnt

[hazy widget]

I think a game, where you can die from a random fireball that emerges from the ashlands lava, doesn't need a random enchantment feature.

[grave nimbus]

ohhh my god the ||seals|| (dev blog spoiler for deep north)

i am dying they are so cute

[plain yarrow]

I have a feeling that seals are hidden something, maybe an insta kill attack xd?

[autumn flax]

I like the short mysterious episodes of the explorer landing in the deep north

[chrome badge]

If we can't tame them I will cry

[verbal terrace]

I'm so excited about deep north! 😱

[bright zenith]

Let us tame the seals 🙏

[toxic swift]

Aren’t they ever gonna change the P2P networking in Valheim? It’s makes multiplayer such a mess

[cosmic igloo]

damn cant wait to make cozy winter base

[bleak heath]

when is it comming out ?

didnt since 2 years maybe 3 ago

[merry pebble]

We do not know unfortunately, based on previous updates the earliest we might get it is late 2025/early 2026, however since Deep North will also include 1.0 release it will likely take a fair bit longer than that.

[bleak heath]

oh i mean its like not so far ig but 1.0 is gonna be cool i wonder what is gonna be added in the update mobswise armors stuff like that

[toxic hemlock]

Fun teaser… but dang it’s taking way to long

[nocturne wolf]

We got bog witch only a few months ago

[tiny tiger]

Ooooo

I kinda don’t wanna have to slaughter these baby seals tho

[nocturne wolf]

🍽️ 🦭

[tiny tiger]

I’m guessing they are the equivalent of the bonemaw serpent, guarding the coastlines

[nocturne wolf]

Seal-themed light armor would be nice though

[tiny tiger]

With rainproof qualities?

[nocturne wolf]

It could do anything as long as it looks cute enough

[hollow kestrel]

THE- THE SEALS

[coarse otter]

ngl

on one hand Im excited for the deep north

on the other hand, I dont want valheims development to stop

[hollow kestrel]

With all the love devs seem to put into the game it feels like it will be like terraria in that regard, which I hope is the case.

[merry pebble]

Like terraria?

[hollow kestrel]

It just keeps getting updates

[merry pebble]

Oh, then sadly that will not be the case, no more content updates after 1.0, only optimizations and bug fixes. 😅

[tiny tiger]

No confirmed or announced content after 1.0 you never know

[tiny tiger]

And the devs keep saying it’s the final update lol

[merry pebble]

#valheim-public-test message

[tiny tiger]

Wasn’t it also stated in the past there would be no portals for metal, you never know plans may change

I wanna be clear I’m not saying expect content post 1.0 but appreciate it if it happens

[ancient agate]

Started a new seed with some friends and I am super excited, hopefully we get to play everything through Ashlands while 1.0 is on the way.

Has anyone started some seeds with players of mixed experience levels with the game and have some tips on what went well or poorly?

[tiny tiger]

Take it slow, and take it at the slowest players pace rather than having them play catch up, I made the mistake with my best friend of having him join me on my world where I was mid blackforest -> swamp for his first time and he ended up not really enjoying it too much

[azure yacht]

There's a difference between one single tweak/change and keep on making 100 features per update post-release

I really hope valheim is put to rest after release. Let them work on new stuff, leave 1.0 to modders

The trend of milking the same game for +10 years when it should've been done already needs to die

[regal spoke]

Speaking of new stuff. Has IG made any comment on that potential

[ancient agate]

Lol, that does seem like a steep increase in danger for someone's first experience

[tiny tiger]

What I’m getting at with that is plans may change, I wouldn’t imagine them releasing a whole new biome but more like an enemy or structure or something

[balmy willow]

not gonna lie chat, I'm really hyped for valheim even though i haven't beaten it

I've done three separate playthroughs up to mistlands post-ashlands, cos i play solo and that d-day-ass biome scares me

[tiny tiger]

Are you staying away from Ashland’s until 1.0 or?

[regal spoke]

I think the hype of how scary Ashland's alone is, scaring people from stepping foot on it

[maiden terrace]

kinda in the same situation, friend got bored though so i have to wait for him to come back to the game lol

we are actually taking forever though, currently in plains 65 hours in the game

[regal spoke]

Multiple servers I'm in has declined more since progressing to Ashland's.

[vocal rivet]

What's the rush?

[tribal trench]

The Fader fight was the most bad ass fight ever

[maiden terrace]

not really in a rush, we are doing a "blind" run where we have consumed no content of the game so everything is a surpise, which is nice. But its a bit slower than what im used to

[stuck dagger]

Should be added as a very endgame option imo

Like last biome

[maiden terrace]

no metals being allowed trhough portals is actually mad it feels like the game takes for ever, i mudded it bc i couldnt stand it

[valid minnow]

can i make a pre existing server into a dedicated server?

or dedicated server will make a new world

[tribal trench]

I wanna know who is going to get the "Favor of Freya!" best of luck to you who enter!

[stuck dagger]

It makes sense early game because it means you get to actually explore the ocean, and not just magic teleport everywhere at will

[tiny tiger]

lmfao dvergr comes by me in the ashlands 'huh a living person' then hes like take care and runs and dies in the lava after helping me take out a few marksmen

[stuck dagger]

But late game when you just want a couple stacks of iron to build and you've already explored/beaten everything its just needlessly inconvenient

[hidden gorge]

are you not aware? how far have you gotten in the game?

[stuck dagger]

Not far enough lol, is it a thing eventually then?

[hidden gorge]

||yes||

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings!

[tiny tiger]

Yo

[balmy willow]

until i can convince my friends to get the game, but I'll probably cave in and attempt it before that

[balmy willow]

same, my buddy quit before yagluth to play monster hunter lmao

[hidden gorge]

is it really a "blind" run if you've modded the game?

[balmy willow]

i treat valheim as a super immersive game best played with friends over long breaks, but most of my buddies who I'm trying to convince to get this game don't seem to take it as seriously as i do 💀

[maiden terrace]

so hear me out ahahha, he has played up to the elder before and we decided to add portals to allow metals since he remembers it being a pain. Plus its "blind" because we dont know anything about gear progression and what the bosses look like, plus we agreed not to google stuff about it.

for a person thats used to min maxing games thats pretty much a blind run for my standards(obv maybe not in reality though if you get technical about it idk)

[kind pendant]

The new video was amazing! I loved how the mobs looked, and very unique biome

[warped meteor]

how much longer till we think the game fully releases

[merry pebble]

We do not know unfortunately, based on previous updates the earliest we might get it is late 2025/early 2026, however since Deep North will also include 1.0 release it will likely take a fair bit longer than that. 🙂

[warped meteor]

thank you for this knowledge, it brings a tear of joy to my eye

[merry pebble]

There Is very little knowledge in that answer, at best educated guesses, which are still only that, guesses. 😅

[warped meteor]

better than nothing for me 😪

[maiden terrace]

Really wondering what the price on 1.0 is going to be

[merry pebble]

Heh, doesent matter, i already have it 😄

[shy marlin]

I wouldn't be suprised if they keep it at 20 for 1.0 but idk

Tbf valheim could easily sell their game as 60 usd and no one would bat an eye

[warped meteor]

true

[hidden gorge]

he remembers it being a pain
this just undermines your initial statements even more.

if you were to mod the game near the start as soon as you discover portals -- its questionable that it can be considered a "run" since the parameters aren't the same the whole way through, but if you have played prior, it's no longer even blind

[wintry valve]

for those scared of the ashlands, remember that the bonemass forsaken power exists

[covert viper]

is there a way to tell yhe game to automatically execute certain commands at a certain time interval?

[merry pebble]

I dont think so 🤔

[vocal rivet]

There are probably mods that will play the game for you.

[chrome badge]

You can bind commands to keys, couple that with a 3rd party program perhaps and maybe?

[tacit crystal]

What tier would you put Stagbreaker, meadows or black forest tier weapon?

[hoary frigate]

Where do we go to find a server to play with others trying to find some people to play with in the evening.

[tacit crystal]

You could search from here. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[hoary frigate]

Ty

[heady elm]

Funny how some people ask or want stuff, that is in the game they just havent found it yet 😛

[tiny tiger]

Black Forest

[merry pebble]

You need material from black forest, so technically there, but its core wood, which is really easy to get even at absolute start of the game so its somewhat arbitrary clasification 🙂

[tiny tiger]

It excels in burial chambers and core wood is a lot more plentiful in the Black Forest, there’s just not enough corewood in meadows

[merry pebble]

Still correct non the less ofc 😄

Oh true, you CAN get core wood in meadows 🤔 , but with its main source still being BF it would still fall there imo

[tacit crystal]

You can get corewood from certain POIs in meadows.

I'm just furnishing my outposts with proper tier equipment on stands so that's why I was wondering.

Black forest has all the bronze (and one copper) weapons tho.

[tiny tiger]

I’m guessing you are putting abyssal razor in the swamp base…? Or Black Forest

[merry pebble]

While you can get it without going to black forest i dont think itis the intended way to get it 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Razor is technically iron tier so I put it in swamp outpost.

[merry pebble]

Swamp, has comparable dmg to swamp tier weapons

[ancient agate]

Which light sources don't use fuel, just wisp torches? Do the Dverger Lanterns burn resin or something?

[merry pebble]

They also dont need any 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Dvergr lanterns don't need.

[tiny tiger]

It doesn’t mention it on the wiki but pretty sure they don’t need any fuel

Also I only just found out you can craft the actual lantern part I thought you had to steal them lol

Is ashwood renewable? Like if I try plant a regular tree in Ashland’s will it grow into a scorched tree

[merry pebble]

It is mentioned now 🙂 (for the actual buildable structures)

[merry pebble]

No it is not afaik

[tacit crystal]

Nope, but there are lots of them.

[grand wolf]

Can I ask, probably a weird, question?

[tiny tiger]

Shoot

[merry pebble]

You can cetrtainly try 🙂

[grand wolf]

😄

Well, I'm pretty weird so it comes naturally 😅
Here we go!

After I was asking questions the other day did some of you, or a bunch of you, go to my Twitch channel and watch my stream, with my friend, from the other day? Because that stream in particular has a ton of views. To put it into perspective my videos usually have views in the teens to 20's with my highest view count being 41.. and my stream with that friend is currently sitting at 81 views.

So, if any of you did go and watch I just wanted to say thanks 😊

[tiny tiger]

I didn’t I don’t really watch streams

[strange arrow]

i'd love to see that though xD

[tiny tiger]

Behold #suggestions message

[grand wolf]

I was just trying to figure out why there was the massive jump in views and just wanted to thank people if they did check it out 😊 I appreciate any number of views I get

[merry pebble]

It might be possible, but unless the topic of helping was stream related or if that many people were trying to help you i dont think its very likely 🙂

[grand wolf]

Yeah.. 🤷‍♀️ Well, in any case.. I appreciated the extra views 😊

[covert viper]

how do you build wirh stone? if I just put stone on a pillar and add a floor it's already red? what am I missing

[merry pebble]

To build with stone its best to use iron supports that you can hide into walls 🙂

[covert viper]

so i can't build elevated stone until I have much iron?

[merry pebble]

Pretty much

[rich aspen]

you can build verticle for days on top of other stone from ground. stone floors or something with nothing underneath needs supports

[merry pebble]

Yeah, stone has pretty realistic physics in this regard 🙂

[civic flume]

For what people need tetra fish?

[merry pebble]

Special hat 🙂

Or just collecting

[rich aspen]

i just got my special hat this week

[merry pebble]

Nice! 😄

[rich aspen]

ruined alittle deep north but so be it...

[tepid prawn]

I said that somewhere yesterday, if you want a balcony or a first floor / ceiling or a ground floor with a basement underneath it made from stone, it has to be connected to stone supports underneath and can only be very small UNLESS you reinforce with iron wood or some other options available later

[merry pebble]

If its only a little bit you should be fine 🙂

[echo crest]

Really? Interesting. From where?

[shy marlin]

The abandoned campfire rest stops or w/e

[tacit crystal]

Like Scales said, those that look like where you would fry sausages.

[covert viper]

what do I need to survive the swamp

[exotic cradle]

Poison resist, good food, nice mace

[pliant hatch]

And patience.
Swamp is the first "hard" biome, so don't rush.

[strange arrow]

[tacit crystal]

Hoeing helps too.

[light moat]

Swamp can be extremely dangerous at night, plan ahead to avoid it for now

[strange arrow]

as Sam mentioned the food is utmost importance, 3 decent foods that you have a good supply of will mean less troublesome situations and an easier time of it overall

also knowing when yr biting off more than you can chew, for example you enter a crypt and get starred draugr or elites off the bat, don't spend hours trying to beat them when it would save time and frustration by just moving to another crypt with less difficulty

portals can also big a part of success there, have one in a neighboring biome like meadows or bf as backup in case the one yr using gets broken

tip for dealing with spawners, if you can and there's no starred mobs around already go for the draugr spawners first and then the skeleton ones once they are destroyed, less spawns means less to kill you

[pliant hatch]

The thing about "good food" is that there's a lot of a difference between "good food" when you enter the swamp and "good food" when you leave the swamp.

When you enter the swamp, "good food" most likely means Carrot Soup, Minced Meat Sauce, Deer Stew and / or Queens Jam.

When you leave the swamp, "Good food" most likely means Sausages, Turnip Stew and Black Pudding.

And it all depend at how fast you're able to find turnips.

[strange arrow]

scouting turnips before you even enter a swamp proper and getting them on the go can make a huge difference

[ashen geyser]

is fishing mechanic just holding right click and having tons of stamina or do fish struggle and you have to let go when they do and reel again after?

[strange arrow]

if yr closer to the fish them struggling is less of a problem (and the stam drain), so get right up to them wherever possible, but the larger the fish the more they struggle ye

[visual granite]

good ways to get feathers, other than just exploding any bird i see?

[strange arrow]

bf chests in the overworld usually have a bunch

later on chickens are also a good source

[visual granite]

oo chickens i forgor

i wonder if an automatic chicken farm is possible, like making a platform that eggs can fall through but chickens wont

[tacit crystal]

It's possible.

[visual granite]

:)

am i on the right track for it?

[echo crest]

After 1.0, some bugfixes and tweaks are almost certain, and then.... they can release DLCs... 🙂

Game kinda has different feel to it if there are no portals... i mean, with portals you just hop to safety all the time. No need to really survive out there and make several bases, some temporary, some bigger almost like towns. Hmm. I might try that setting soon, no portals...

[strange arrow]

psure the dev's have stated there won't be any DLC's, once the project is finished that relies on them having to stay around and create more content which they've said isn't something they want to do, they want a definitive end point and then we assume they want to move on to other projects

[echo crest]

Oh... okay.

[visual granite]

its for the better.

bad things happen when devs make content for a game they dont enjoy making content for (anymore)

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, just adding for the sake of it isn't the way.

[echo crest]

Well... hmm. Once they hit 1.0, they could kinda look the game as a whole, and figure out if they want to add some stuff still. Its not necessarily situation they dont enjoy... many games are like that. Terraria had its final version years and years ago, journeys end... and they changed their mind and still develop. But I guess we will see.

[visual granite]

i quite like the sort of "micro-modding" that fabric/quilt (minecraft modding) has going, where most things are broken up into small modular mods for easy customization

leads to less "i like this mod except for this one thing"

[strange arrow]

kinda sad in one way but if they have another project they are itching to get on to it could be even better, Valheim had such humble beginnings and the work they've done with it has been so good, imagine what they could produce in future

[visual granite]

valheim 2

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim 2 would mean Necks 2 👀 How could they improve perfection?

[visual granite]

longer neck

[covert viper]

make them 5 times bigger lol

[visual granite]

2 heads for twice the neck

[covert viper]

that would sure be... interesting

[visual granite]

alternatively: the tail

[covert viper]

or maybe they'll just become giraffes lmao

[strange arrow]

comedy big head game

[nocturne wolf]

5x as much adorable lizard per neck, that works!

[visual granite]

i love that the meat you get is the tail not the neck

[nocturne wolf]

The trophy is the neck neck

[rotund parrot]

Make them red

[visual granite]

thats the neck head

[strange arrow]

Valheim 2: tail necks instead of neck tails

[visual granite]

tameable neck

[covert viper]

lmao

get this creature neck surgery right away!

[vocal rivet]

I'd put money on their next project not being Valheim 2.

[covert viper]

whys that

[nocturne wolf]

Why stop developing valheim if they’re just going to do more immediately after?

[azure yacht]

No

After 1.0 they should leave it alone

No dlcs, no further new content. Let it rest

[strange arrow]

next game will be a mobile game full of micro transactions

[vocal rivet]

Why? Because some of the devs have been working on this game for a long, long time. The last thing they'd want to do is more of the same.

[azure yacht]

Whatever "feels" missing modders can add it, the lack of big updates would mean less chance of mods breaking. The perfect chance for the mod community to flourish

[strange arrow]

i wonder if they will even stay in the realm of survival games

[vocal rivet]

My bigger question is whether they'd do EA again.

[azure yacht]

I'm sure some can argue that "it's so they can get free advertisements from name alone as the new project is related to valheim"

My counter argument: Put "from the creators of valheim" in the announcement. Done, that would take care of +80% of the marketing

[strange arrow]

well they can't say EA hasn't paid off, even if it has taken a long time

[azure yacht]

That's a better question.

They could explore other genres entirely, like full RPG

[strange arrow]

imagine a Valheim team zombie game

[visual granite]

there are seekers outside my base

insert black and white robert downey jr

Hi all. I have difficulty seeing, so any fog, smoke, mist, or such really makes it a problem. Anyone know of a setting or mod to help with seeing in the Ashlands?

[pliant hatch]

You can ask around in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 for that. They might have some suggestions over there.

[jovial prawn]

Ok thank you, will do.

[echo crest]

When I had cataract, I turned off Bloom at least, and some other settings... hmm now I wonder what those were. Since i had surgery on August and dont remember well what i did.

anyone wanna run a fresh start with me trying to get like maybe 5 guys dm me

[wooden hemlock]

I wondering for the Favour of Freya competition can we do minor edits to our Screenshots like contrast, lighting, highlights and the such for basic editing? Or does it have to be whatever was taken direct from the screenshot file?

Can we use the Nvidia adjustments to take Screenshots? 😉

[chrome badge]

I've recently been getting nothing but base defense videos for valheim on tiktok, all of them are just "raise ground, use backwards stairs & disconnected log bridges." Going so far to negate any enemies at all, you might as well just disable raids right? I don't see why people advise other players to make some gross terrain wall with other terrible looking ways to break enemy pathing. 👀

[storm tendon]

right

[chrome badge]

Yay I'm not crazy

[storm tendon]

Yea. I understand. It reminds like like in Sons of the forest with no build damage on. But I guess to each their own.

[steel tree]

I like the ballista's that cover a single defendable spot

[chrome badge]

Yeah, they can work if your base has good funneling for enemies to one gate, but apparently they don't exist to countless content creators, and it's just a competition to see who can cheese enemies more.

[regal spoke]

My pro strats for base defense: dug in or on an island. Full afk safety. No walls, trenches, backwards stairs, or cattle guard

[regal spoke]

From my experience they're a bit unreliable

[rain flare]

They work best as boosts to your own combat
Park them near an area with a type of enemy mob and let them shoot the enemy while you draw aggro

[regal spoke]

Absolutely agree. Just wasn't stoked on target acquisition and accuracy. It took a lot of fine tuning and learning to setup an array capable of dealing with Gjall.

[tiny tiger]

Damn fr? I thought gjall would be their best matchup with how slow they are

[rain flare]

Naaaah
It takes 3-4 bolts to kill one

And the gjall practically one-shot the ballista

[regal spoke]

It was a complication of vertical difficulty for the ballista. They faired more productive when able to shoot downward

[clear comet]

Ballista has a better downward angle than upwards I believe

[regal spoke]

Indeed. Blind spot on their rear. Have to put two back to back for good coverage.

[ember kraken]

Being someone that enjoys the terraforming aspect, and typically ends up just getting annoyed at dealing wit wndering greylings inside my base.... I've all too often just dug myself into an impenetrable cave somewhere, so the enemies can't get to me at all.

At which point, I sigh, log out, disable raids, and log back in.

I've tried several times to avoid this, but in the end... I end up doing the same just because I keep getting annoyed by having enemies walking in to places, and it's frustrating to chase them out of your building while simultanously damaging said building. (Oh yeah pro tip, don't use the demolisher for that!).

The best compromise I've managed to make for myself, is to force myself to make an opening with sloped entry so enemies can walk in. And put a gate there.

So that when a raid happens, I run to the gate to fight of the barbarians at the gate.

[regal spoke]

We should team up. Our underground systems would be god tier.

This line of dialogue on defense has me wanting to come up with "the perfect murder tunnel"

[ember kraken]

I just found back that old underground base thing I made and talked about the other day, and on the entry I had put a sign that said "Khazad-dum" Uhm yeah, that should say just about everything about my favoured building style in this game >_<

[regal spoke]

Side thought: do you ever get triggered when, a node within a rock blows out to open sky? Misleading little fisures

[ember kraken]

If I repeated my words and thoughts every time that happened, I'd be kicked out of the discord >_< Stupid rocks!

[regal spoke]

Same. Absolutely spot ruined sometimes. Sometimes I'll w

I'll work with the blowout and accept it as an exhaust opening

[ember kraken]

At this point I'm just assuming one is going to blow out, and it's just a part of the creative aspect to figure out how to incorporate it into the structure somehow -_-'

[regal spoke]

I try to do the same.

Had an 8 portal hub I was trying to build under a massive couple rocks on a mountain. Was going great and then the blowouts came.

[ember kraken]

Been trying to not build so much caves last couple of times..... but now I'm starting to miss it again >_<

[regal spoke]

Try to work with it but sometimes I'll move on and try again elsewhere. Depends how much I like the overall locations

[ember kraken]

Btw, my Valheim theme song: Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy Hole

[regal spoke]

I can't. I do cave builds every run. Even if it's just a single bedroom safe spot. I like an afk hole on servers

Alice in Chains - Down in a hole

[ember kraken]

Ah for me that's Elder's altar. Or as it has become known among my buddies "The bat-cave"

[regal spoke]

Heck yes. The bat cave is perfect

I setup smelters and kilns in the V corners

[ember kraken]

I nearly cry if I find an elder spawn next to water.....

[regal spoke]

Those are terrible

Well if the terrain is near sea level at least

[ember kraken]

(Oh been a while since I listened to Alice in Chains)

Nutshell hits me in the feels. Every single listen

The entry of Troll caves are such a sweet take off point for little cabins. Found a sweet one on a high hill with a great view of the ocean recently

[ember kraken]

Tried a mod that let me build in places that you're not supposed to. And I quickly found it let me build inside caves...... I had to disable that....

While it was fun trying to make a troll cave actually look cozy and light.... I just stopped building anywhere else.

[regal spoke]

Yea I could see the allure for sure. My other love is Mistlands islands. However, I've got a goal to turn one of the triple spire formation into a mage academy. Each spire having dedicated structure

[magic cradle]

Does anyone have any idea what the deep norths boss could be?

[regal spoke]

Ymir

What's the term... The Jotun

[nocturne wolf]

Two bosses simultaneously 🤞

[ember kraken]

Smiffe

[regal spoke]

The real end game boss is the dev team?

[nocturne wolf]

No Smiffe is there if you go to deep north too early

[regal spoke]

Lol that's awesome

[merry pebble]

And he has his hammer to make it extra difficult 😄

[eager umbra]

What is actually there right now?
Just normal biomes or empty islands?

[nocturne wolf]

Mostly empty islands but they have some unique objects such as fish, mineable ice, and physics ice platforms in the water

I meant too early as too early in progression (haven’t killed fader), not before the update

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[balmy willow]

i think the coolest option would be a jotun, but there's mention of a shapeshifting 'son' in moder and fader's runestones

winter child or something, i forgot what it was called

[smoky saddle]

Wish i'd crafted a black metal sword earlier. Frostner is great, but being able to kill fulings in 2 swings is a lot better

[tiny tiger]

Frostner heavy swing kills them in one hit

Not sure if without parry I think depends on your skill but with a parry for sure

[smoky saddle]

Yeah, if you can land the heavy hit that is. Can definitely do it with a parry but fulings move around a lot and theyre almost never by themselves

[tiny tiger]

Thats also valid, black metal sword also had no multi hit penalty

[azure yacht]

That's not remotely true. It 100% depends on the skill level

And if they're wet or not

[stuck dragon]

anyone from finland?

[echo crest]

Me

[wispy latch]

👋

[compact granite]

Have you fixed the issue ?

[plush moon]

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT CAN ONLY BE BUILT ON FOUNDATION LEVEL, LIKE HEARTHS OR OVENS?

sry caps, IK those two need to be built on foundation material, but anything else?

[tacit crystal]

Afaik all other thrones except Raven throne.

[eager umbra]

Pretty sure we have a marmor throne in our bedroom which is on the second floor
But its on stonetiles which often counts as foundation

[strange arrow]

stone/marble/grausten/iron cage floor also works

[merry pebble]

I think they counted stone as a foundation material 🙂

[keen trench]

indeed, stone works as "ground" for additional wooden structures you build on it (< = 16 m height), right?

[strange arrow]

just re-reading the og question, anything heavier than a wooden object needs stronger material than wood to be placed on

stone portal is another example

[uneven belfry]

Foundation as in hard ground - no
But hearths ovens (most) thirnes etc can be also build on higher floors - you just need to give it better support (try experimenting with stone/grausten/marble structures and using iron-wood beams for support)

[magic cradle]

Is modern and fader supposed to be mother and father?

Iv never made it past mistlands so I'm unaware of everything ashlands

[vocal rivet]

That's what those words mean, yes.

[magic cradle]

Ahhh cool

Imagine our last boss is loki

And it's been Loki the whole time but just shapeshiffted

[vocal rivet]

That would make zero sense.

[magic cradle]

I mean. If Odin is testing us. And Loki is notoriously a trickster and jokester. I would go as far to assume he'd mess with his father's plans and try and do something of his own. Idk ik it makes no sense but I just considerd. That Loki is in fact a frost giant so it would be to far

[vocal rivet]

Odin isn't testing us. We've been tasked to kill the Forsaken and prevent them from rejoining Valheim to Yggdrasil.

[magic cradle]

I thought this was all a test to do so? I must have interpreted the beginning message wrong

[vocal rivet]

I think so, yes.

[magic cradle]

From my understanding Odin has sent his Valkyries out to test the mightiest of warriors. And who ever shall be triumphant in the trials shall be his chosen warrior? That's how I interpreted it atleast

Not calling the bosses the Valkyrie

[nocturne wolf]

Nobody is being tested. We are working for him

[vocal rivet]

It doesn't really need interpretation. It's quite clear cut.

[young bluff]

Hello, when I open Valheim Network Tab in game after character selection, my DNS Client start using 100% CPU.
Is it common issue?

[vocal rivet]

I understand maybe 3 of those words.

[strange arrow]

i hope payment for services rendered constitutes more than just a warm fuzzy feeling xD

[merry pebble]

"...he looked to Midgard and sent his Valkyries to scour the battlefields for the greatest of their warriors." Nobody is testing if you are the greatest warrior 🙂 you were picked so you are

[vocal rivet]

Payment is ascension to Valhalla.

[hidden gorge]

I don't think its common for most people to have some unspecified "DNS Client" they're worried about but ascribing the issue to a game

[strange arrow]

but everyone else who got into Valhalla got there free of charge

[magic cradle]

No that's correct. I just must have understood it wrong.

[vocal rivet]

No-one said Odin was fair.

[merry pebble]

They were not the greatest so no shot at forsaken 😄 we were too great so we have it the long way around

[magic cradle]

I thought that meant he was selecting you for a trial and this was all to see if your worthy enough. But the more I go back and actually read it without it moving. It makes more sense

[strange arrow]

sounds backwards to me xD

[magic cradle]

Just sounds li k death but with extra steps

[keen trench]

yeh, that's normal, also lots of youtubers that snatch personal interpretations in between citing the in-game lore could create confusion

[merry pebble]

Would you assign a hard task to someone who you knew couldnt do it? No, you would pick the best people you can. That they get the same reward is just unfair but who are we to tell gods they have to be fair. 😄

[strange arrow]

we are just mugs, apparently xD

[magic cradle]

I'd pick someone who didn't die then

Dying seems like your failed at your task

[keen trench]

sounds like the old, you indeed are my best employe, so stay couple hours overtime...

[strange arrow]

exploitation 101

[keen trench]

probably "dying" is the only way for a human to be in any place other than Midgard

[young bluff]

DNS Client is Windows build in service host, that's basically allow u to use ur internet. And I'm 100% that's game/BepInEx issue, it's happening every time when I open network tab in game

[strange arrow]

should have just killed the Valkyrie trying to pick us up and rested in peace xD

[magic cradle]

Damn straight I didn't choose this life

[vocal rivet]

Oh, so mods. There's your problem.

[magic cradle]

Yep. If ur having bepinex issues it's a mod problem

[vocal rivet]

I'm glad you felt the need to say the same as me.

[magic cradle]

Awwe damn now gif perms

No*

[vocal rivet]

Thankfully, no.

[magic cradle]

Lol all it said was sometimes you just gotta roll the dice xD

[fiery jacinth]

Yo, fellow vikings

I have a little question. Is the Drakkar as fast as longships or slower?

[magic cradle]

Buenos dias

Idk what that is sorry

[amber geode]

Slower.

[fiery jacinth]

Yeah I figured as much. Kinda sad tbh, because I like the ship. It's just a chore to get around with

[merry pebble]

The "Thankfully, no." was meant more against the general use of them here for reasons of spam, not against your gif in particular i believe 😄

[strange arrow]

no-one but they also shouldn't be surprised to find a knife in the back if they can't properly compensate

[merry pebble]

Welp, if you are able to do that i see no reason why not do it 😄 it might lead to some consequences tho xD

[strange arrow]

yes, godly powers i can use fairly xD

[storm umbra]

Anyone from the U.S that wants to start a fresh world with me and fresh char i havent played the mistlands or ashlands content yet and wanted to do a playthrough with someone no spoilers

[vocal rivet]

There's no DLC for Valheim. But #1024264966712340510 is the place to go.

[storm umbra]

sounds good i apologize for that

[merry pebble]

Well... there is one, but it certainly isnt ashlands 😄

or mistlands

[vocal rivet]

Not really the same thing and just confuses the issue.

[storm umbra]

i never said dlc

i just said i havent played mistlands or ashlands yet so didnt want spoilers lmao

[merry pebble]

"...i havent played the mistlands or ashlands DLC..." Hmm?

[storm umbra]

oh shit i didnt mean to put dlc

my brain isnt awake yet thats on me

[merry pebble]

Well no worries 😄 you got the channel you were looking for and no harm done.

[storm umbra]

that's if anyone sees my post that thing is so flooded with other posts

[merry pebble]

You can put a dot or something in the post once in a while so it remains near the top 🙂 (meaning like once every few days btw, not like every hour or something 😄 )

[young bluff]

Problem is I have 0 mods. BepInEx with 0 plugins

[vocal rivet]

Why do you even have BepinEx if you're not using mods? Get rid of that nonsense.

[young bluff]

I wanted to use some, rn is just checking why I have this problem

[buoyant panther]

Do you have a lot of saved favorite servers? Valheim uses DNS to resolve some Valve and Microsoft servers at first, but it should be a short burst unless you have a bunch of domain-based recent or favorite servers.

Only other vanilla Valheim issues I could imagine there is if one of your recents or favorites has a CNAME loop, an issue in your HOSTS or LMHOSTS syntax, you have an Internet security suite running, malware, or there's a bug in your OS.

[young bluff]

Nope, I have only one. I'll try to remove it, maybe it'll fix it. Rn I found a solution to use FastLink(mod that's allow to join servers via one button)

[vocal rivet]

Sure adding mods will SOLVE problems.

[buoyant panther]

Alright. Running a VPN client of some sort? If you're curious about the requests being made, you could run Wireshark and filter for DNS during that time or see if your router has a DNS-watching/web history QoS mode.

Also, parental control suites could be a culprit.

[young bluff]

Sadly, I can't remove recent servers, but even with 0 favorite servers I have this problem.
I'm launching game without mods, just from steam and still has this issue

[merry pebble]

Clean reinstal and verifying files are also good places to start from 🙂

[young bluff]

Already did that

I’m running VPN client with Split Tunnelling mode

Maybe that’s the issue, I’ll try disable it

[buoyant panther]

I'm betting it is partly to blame. You mentioned you're using Windows, which does multi-homed name resolution by default. It will blast your DNS requests across every interface it knows, and that gets a little weird with split-tunnelling—really VPN in general.

[young bluff]

Yeap, just tested that’s a VPN issue. Without it all runs smoothly, but when I restarted game with it - DNS just start using 100% CPU even after game closed

[young bluff]

Thank u, for ur time and help

[buoyant panther]

Sure thing. If you really want to use Valheim with the VPN, I recommend looking up how to disable multi-homed name resolution for your OS version. It may help in this particular case, but no guarantee until you try it.

[covert viper]

why are the fucking carts so terrible

one ridiculous wave and it's magically upside down

[merry pebble]

Why are you going into water with them?

[covert viper]

I'm not

there was a wave of about 5 meters tall

[merry pebble]

Ah, so storm 😄

[covert viper]

now it's fucking flipped and impossible to unflip

[merry pebble]

Destroy and rebuild 😄

[covert viper]

who fucking designs this shit

[exotic cradle]

Chill brotha it's just gravity

[light moat]

It’s a storm, there’s gonna be a little damage 👀

[covert viper]

no it's not

[merry pebble]

Well... it isnt flying is it...

[strange arrow]

brOdin the ungrateful

[exotic cradle]

Ok it's not, just skill issue then

[pallid lily]

Did they update troll caves? I found one in a meadows

[paper marsh]

Nah, probably just a tiny patch of black forest in the middle of the meadows

[light moat]

Holy ||moly|| it’s snail! 🐌

[pallid lily]

Oh you're right, It's genuinely 1 pixel of black forest on my map

[paper marsh]

Holy ||moly|| it's Dogg! 🐶

[exotic cradle]

Blast from the past!

[paper marsh]

🤭

[serene talon]

hopefully it's not the immortal snail...

[paper marsh]

Who slowly inches towards you

[cerulean imp]

You know if I win that best scenery picture thing I think I'll just go by kinghazard

Because all my characters are named after genitals

Kock, Vgina, and Testikal

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't share that, honestly.

[cerulean imp]

Yeah that's why I'd rather go by my gamertag

[exotic cradle]

Ah, to be 12

[cerulean imp]

I'm 18, but I play games that let me use dumb names, it's like a trademark i guess

Imagine I raid your base tear it down and you have to tell your friends kock destroyed everything

[serene talon]

but what would make the best picture

[cosmic igloo]

king shit

[exotic cradle]

Honey please my face can only cringe so much

[serene talon]

yeah no i would just kill you, no tearing down me hut

[cerulean imp]

Three guys with trollstavs

[cerulean imp]

Yes king shit will sit on his porcelain throne

[vocal rivet]

Ah, 18 but acting 12. Got it.

[cosmic igloo]

dont let the haters get to u. ur genital names are glorious

[merry pebble]

Birds of a feather flock together...

[exotic cradle]

Same class at school probably

[plush umbra]

[merry pebble]

Heyoo Winter 👋 😄

[plush umbra]

hiya~

[cerulean imp]

Nah a Bunch of people probably over the age of 20, picking on an 18 year old is FAR more cringe than anything I've done today

[serene talon]

staff of frost

[cerulean imp]

Shield staff

[serene talon]

i was at some skilift and there was a huge raven mounted on top of it

[serene talon]

you cant shield the trolls

[cerulean imp]

Bro forgot to turn off raven hints

[plush umbra]

oh i wish i could've seen that

[serene talon]

it tried to warn me before i got injuired that same day

[serene talon]

i have picture somewhere i think, i can also find it online wait

[cosmic igloo]

👑

[serene talon]

no matter if we use genital or normal names for our characters and pets, we can agree THE NAMESPACE IS STILL TOO SMALL, how am i supposed to name him Meowstructor the meowing Meow of Meowsburg !?!?

[vocal rivet]

No-one picked on you. But yes, most people, in general, are over 20.

[cerulean imp]

Trying to make me look stupid isn't any better

[merry pebble]

I dont believe anybody tried

[cerulean imp]

Earlier in chat someone said "my face can only cringe so much" in response to something I said

[vocal rivet]

Oh, that wasn't trying to make you look stupid.

[vivid kiln]

Hey all. Back on the game after some time off, just started a new character, anyone have any open servers?

[buoyant panther]

Welcome back! Give #1024264966712340510 a look.

[vivid kiln]

Will do, thanks!

[cerulean imp]

Idk just seemed like they were saying I was cringe, but I honestly don't care, I can do what I want to name my characters dumb stuff none of it changes fact, even if everyone here wants to belive I'm immature or a kid I'm just having fun so I really could care less

[vocal rivet]

Oh, naming your characters after genitals is definitely cringe. But it doesn't make you stupid.

[buoyant panther]

When I started the game, didn't think I'd get into it and went with something lazy. Ended up getting hooked. Went through the trouble of renaming my main char recently.

[signal bloom]

so last night I performed what I thought was an impossible feat in the ashlands

[exotic cradle]

Do tell!

[signal bloom]

A friend an I took only 2 Askvins DEEP into unexplored Ashland's territory with no portal back and returned WITH THE SAME ASKVINS after 7 days and nights with limited supplies

[exotic cradle]

Goddamn, that's indeed impressive

[cosmic igloo]

are you really 18? because thats a pretty damn mature attitude to have

[cerulean imp]

I mean I turn 19 In a few months

[vivid kiln]

Hey how you doin

[exotic cradle]

hi?

[cerulean imp]

Yeah me and my friend did basically the same ,but we managed it in a day or two, and that was in the first month of the release of Ashlands, so it was a truly painful experience, plus they were both starred variants I believe

[signal bloom]

yeah we both had a 1 star

[vivid kiln]

lol sorry, I’m drinking, I’ll see myself out

[signal bloom]

we even raided fortress though I died 😅

[plush mason]

bro tryna flirt in a valheim discord

[cerulean imp]

Is that your first play through ?

[vivid kiln]

Not exactly

[cerulean imp]

I remember having to reload the world like 5x because they would keep dyingv🤣

[signal bloom]

yeah but not our first fortress.

[cerulean imp]

Yeah sometimes they just all pile up on top of you and within 2 seconds your health dissappears and you body flops to the ground like a wet noodle

[signal bloom]

yeah I've never returned with an askvin Alive before lol

my fave is the warlock fire that somehow ticks for like 80pts of damage over 2s

[iron steeple]

For people who use moats and earthen walls for base defence, what kind of entrance’s do you use so you can enter the base with carts and such?

[cerulean imp]

If you think keeping the adults alive is hard don't even try to hatch the babies because they are suicidal maniacs

[exotic cradle]

Double gate can let a cart pass easily, you can cover it with a small roof too so it doesn't decay

[signal bloom]

spaces walls perpendicular to the path across the gap

cart can cross the tops of the walls, enemies cannot

[signal bloom]

lol yeah I found that out

[iron steeple]

Won’t that allow trolls and things to cross? I tried the wooden beam bridge but enemies just ran right across it

[signal bloom]

it shouldn't perhaps they were too close? never had anything cross mine

if you're really worried you can use large wooden gates instead spaced, then you can open the gap so 100% things cannot cross

[exotic cradle]

If you REALLY wanna be extra, you can make a sort of "drawbridge" using gates then keep opening/closing them to allow ships/carts to pass

[signal bloom]

I use the gate on my main base with moats for aesthetic, that way I can open the drawbridge to my base sort of

[iron steeple]

Could you maybe show me a pic of yours so I can get an idea of how it’s built? I’ve looked on yt but there’s not a lot of detail about base defence entrances in the videos I’ve seen

Would a stone and iron bridge/gate hold up to a troll raid?

[iron steeple]

What? How do you make a draw bridge?😂

[signal bloom]

yeah once I get to my PC I'll share

[iron steeple]

Ahhhh so the gates opening and closing are the drawbridge? Just seen that bit

[exotic cradle]

#screenshots message

[iron steeple]

Cool ty, sorry for being a bother

[iron steeple]

That’s helpful thanks. 🙏🏻

[ancient agate]

For Yag fights, do people bury some Bonfires to make that go faster since he drags himself around the whole time?

[merry pebble]

Not worth the time imo

[iron steeple]

Does bow accuracy increase with your skill level? Even at bow lvl 30 the inconsistency of the arrow path is pretty obnoxious

[merry pebble]

Nope, only the bow you are using is affecting accuracy.

[iron steeple]

So it does get more consistent with higher tier bows?

[merry pebble]

Yep

The skill affects the stamina cost and reduces draw time tho 🙂 so it is still very usefull

[iron steeple]

Well at least it gets better, even the fine wood bow is annoyingly inconsistent.

[merry pebble]

Waaaaaaaay better compared to the crude one tho 😄

[iron steeple]

I knew this info already but thanks anyway.😂

[iron steeple]

Meh, there’s not a huge difference in stray arrows between the two from what I’ve seen. Especially at long range.

[iron steeple]

What about bow lvl? Does that have any effect?

[merry pebble]

Like 1-4? No it does not.

[iron steeple]

Rip

Thanks for the info, appreciated

[cosmic igloo]

u never know where u might meet ur future wife/husband lol, dont knock it

[cosmic igloo]

u can dig urself under the altar and hit the part of his body thats dragging lmao

[plush mason]

🤣

[signal bloom]

test

oh wow theres a 25m timer on #screenshots ..

lol was trying to show nox the alternate drawbridge

[exotic cradle]

Yes it's also very heavily modded and should have gone in #mods-screenshots ^^

[signal bloom]

weird I don't even see that channel lol

oh it's waaaay at the bottom last channel I see

[vocal rivet]

Yep, where mods belong.

[iron steeple]

‘Twas a pretty tame effort ngl😂

[iron steeple]

You can just dm it to me if you like.

[signal bloom]

#building-screenshots should be better lol

[vocal rivet]

^^

[signal bloom]

heavily modded??

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[signal bloom]

I'm using 1 UI mod... and 1 inventory slot mod

[exotic cradle]

Of course 🥲

[vocal rivet]

waits for the next edit

[signal bloom]

folks post modded stuff all the time of modded builds in #building-screenshots do they not?

[vocal rivet]

Not that I'm aware of, no. And just because other people manage to get away with it doesn't mean you should?

[exotic cradle]

Even when they do they get redirected usually

Posting modded screenshots can confuse new players and they'll expect things that aren't ingame

[signal bloom]

Well they do. and it does not but the intent is not to show my mods lol

[robust delta]

meh

i get where u come from inferno tho tbh i would prolly be puzzled on which boss would give me slots for food like how some ss's are. i don't really care now, but even if small i can understand the reason for it being put there with any visible modification

alternatively though, you could turn off your ui and it would hide the stuff, making it good 'nuff for regular screenshots i feel
i dunno if the specs info n' all that on top of the screen is modded or not

[signal bloom]

I was on steamdeck so.. no access to function buttons 😭

I cropped out the mods though 😁

[robust delta]

i dunno much of steamdeck
that's like nintendo switch or smth but steam branded right?

[fast nexus]

when is deep north estimated release date?

[signal bloom]

discord on steamdeck is... difficult..

[signal bloom]

yeah it's a handheld it's awesome

[robust delta]

we dunno atm. far as the schedule goes it's released when it's done

[robust delta]

i heard u gotta jump through a lot of hoops to get some games working, but valheim on the go sounds nice
as odin intended 💪

[fast nexus]

damn who would have guessed its gonna release when its done

[robust delta]

hey man i'm just passin' what we know 😂

[vocal rivet]

It's the best answer we have right now.

[signal bloom]

next edit delivered cropped 🤣

[vocal rivet]

I was referring to your continuing list of the ONE mod you were using 😉

[signal bloom]

hehe

honestly I hope in 1.0 they introduce ability to bind more / additional keys.

[robust delta]

oh yeah that's right

[robust delta]

whatcha mean by function buttons?

[vocal rivet]

F1-F12 etc.

[signal bloom]

isn't it like Ctrl +F3 or something to hide screen?

[robust delta]

oh damn i didn't know steamdeck had a keyboard

[nocturne wolf]

There is a way to do it with controller but I forgot it

[robust delta]

unless it lacks function keys cuz it has no keyboard LOL

[signal bloom]

steamOS keyboard has no function f1-f12 keys lol and ALSO no Ctrl key crazily enough. It's only a virtual keyboard on the screen

[robust delta]

oof

[nocturne wolf]

You can bind buttons to these with steam input though

[signal bloom]

yup I don't have them bound since valheim behaves a bit.. oddly with steaminput

valheim will still register any controller input AS that controllers input (even if it's bound to a different keystroke in steam input)

had a heck of a time with this trying to setup a custom steaminput scheme for myself

[azure yacht]

It's the only answer you will get

[sour furnace]

Lol, my inventory management has went too far. I was organizing my inventory before bonemass and i double checked that I'm only bringing the pure essentials to maximize inventory space. To this end, I threw away my arrows, all my potions, my stagbraker, my axe, my 3 antler picks, my lvl 1 troll cape, and even my food. I would've accidentally fought bonemass with a iron poleaxe, an empty bow, and my armor with nothing else had I not forgotten to bring the withered bones 😂

[signal bloom]

just wait until you get to Ashlands.. inventory management becomes.. ridiculous

[pliant hatch]

Not if you use your soft tissue.

[sour furnace]

I have, and tbh, I play on 1.5X resource rates so I can afford to disable auto pickup and actually play the game.

[magic cradle]

Never been to Ashland I can't beat the queen

Yagluth took me a long time as well. So idk if I'll ever make it to the deep north lol

[sour furnace]

I only fought her once, so I'm not the best advice, but the way I did it is I spammed bonemass and fire bombs/ooze bombs until I lose bonemass/ rested, then I recovered how in the little safe starter zone and waited for healing mead timers to reset. The big thing with her is to kill the spawns as fast as possible, preferably while they are still in the clump they spawned in, and dodge roll as much as possible (or use magic)

I used carapace armor and feather cape, and mistwalker

[magic cradle]

I restarted recently with a few mods to make qol a bit better. But I'm hoping I can make it all the way to ashlands and have a Decent base setup in a plains biome before deep north releases

[vocal rivet]

You'll have plenty of time.

[magic cradle]

Don't get much time to play each day being a new father but I do what I can

My buddy's refuse to return to the game until it's 1.0 lol

[vocal rivet]

That's fair enough. Lot's of people are waiting.

[magic cradle]

Yeah I can understand their point of view.

[pliant hatch]

As long as you don't get to the northern part of the map, you don't have to worry about reaching ashlands before or after 1.0 release in the first place.

Simply because you won't explore anything in the DN, thus nothing is affected by terrain generation limits when you do get there.

So you can safely reach ashlands after the 1.0 release and still enjoy the full DN experience without a problem.

[little sand]

So I just killed my first modder and it never gave me his Eye? Did I mess something up

[vocal rivet]

You shouldn't kill modders. They work hard to make their mods.

[pliant hatch]

Said by the one who doesn't like mods. I'm certain that really means something. 😄

[vocal rivet]

I don't like mods, doesn' t mean I wish death on their authors!

[little sand]

This doesn't help me answering my question on the moder

[pliant hatch]

She drops tears. Check all your crafting stations and hammer if it has unlocked something.

It's basically something you should get used to do the moment you pick something up for the first time.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you mean Moder. Why were you talking about someone's eye then? Moder drops her tears. It's possible it's gotten lost in the terrain.

[little sand]

I have the trophy and tears but nothing new unlocked

[pliant hatch]

Trophy and tears are all you get from Kiling Moder.

And it should unlock something when you equip the building menu of your hammer.

[near furnace]

only greydwarfs drops eyes

[pliant hatch]

I think Odin dropped an eye once. Or it was dropped by someone else at some point.....

[vocal rivet]

Hm, the artisan table only needs tears and normal wood so I'm not sure what could be missing.

[near furnace]

if you kill moder in flight...

you need to go find those blue orbs (tears)

[vocal rivet]

They have the tears though, so it's not that.

[near furnace]

a forge?

[pliant hatch]

It's most likely not having seen the artisan table being unlocked in the building menu.

try dropping them and picking them up again

@little sand - you sure you got https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_tear? Drop them and pick them up again.

Then check your build menu - you'll see an Artisan table. It kinda looks like a workbench if your not paying attention - so check each item in the structure build menu - it'll be there.

how do i get my stuff back if theres 2 gjails and about 600 ticks camping my grave

[pliant hatch]

Have you unlocked magic and if you did, are you able to craft another fire staff?
As that may be your best bet while using Plains level armor.

If you can't create another fire staff, use some sort of AoE weapon like the atgeir or a 2-handed hammer to deal with the ticks.

The Gjall can be destroyed with both the staff or a good bow.

But for both monster types it's best to kite them away from your grave, so you're able to get to that the moment you are able to dash to it.

great name btw

[iron steeple]

Didn’t he split it and give half each to hugin an munin so they could be his eyes in Midgard or am I completely misremembering it?

[frigid matrix]

Is it safe to assume it'll take atleast a year for the next biome?

[robust delta]

uhh no idea

i don't think they rlly hadda predictable update schedule like some games (vermintide when releasing the dlc careers, except the last one that was like 3 years instead of 6 months)

[frigid matrix]

I see

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely.

[serene talon]

OMG DR HOUSE

i just watched that, opened this channel and got jumpscared

[empty blaze]

guys why this game don't have a achievements

[keen trench]

mostly because it isn't finished yet 😁 we'll have to wait 1.0 for that (no date planned for 1.0 yet if you're about to ask 😉 )

[azure yacht]

No

[strange arrow]

bcoz it isn't finished yet, hard to add cheevo's for content that isn't yet available lol

[empty blaze]

thx

🍻

[azure yacht]

Because it's still in ea

[exotic cradle]

ok my turn
it's not finished yet

[strange arrow]

kinda also speaks that there will be one or more for each biome

[empty blaze]

I guess

this game not finished yet

🤔

[strange arrow]

to my mind if they were all gonna be generic or non-biome specific then they could have released them by now

aside from maybe "finish the game"

[tiny tiger]

It’s better releasing them at 1.0 than sporadically imo, gives more incentive to play when 1.0 releases if they released them overtime most of us would have most of the achievements by now

[serene talon]

or maybe steam doesnt allow achievements on early access titles?

[tiny tiger]

Could also be a possibility, did ark have achievements in ea?

[strange arrow]

Enshrouded has them

[nimble moss]

it does - but that wasnt the reason

the dev's have said 1.0 for achievements - not before

[serene talon]

oh right phasmophobia has achievements too and its ea

[serene talon]

then they just decided to do it with 1.0

Satisfactory - also published by coffee stain - only added achievements with 1.0 aswell

[strange arrow]

no early access to cheevo's in Valheim xD

[empty blaze]

i turn on the fire hazard

Let's see what will happen 😁

[tiny tiger]

You’re gonna burn your house down

[hard flume]

Play chill with your friends for 50 game days, go to swamp for the first time, find a draugr spawner, spawner spawns 2* draugr archer, die

[uneven belfry]

Happened to all of us xd.
