[halcyon depot]

I know most of you dont care but im so happy with my self 😛 came back with first load of silver ore ( died xy times while doing that) made Frostner and Draugr , defended my base from first Frost dragon atacks without dying. Any tips what upgrades should i go for with silver bars? Made butcher table and lvl 5 workbench upgrade since i got some obsidion.

[nocturne wolf]

The silver sword is expensive but very useful later in the game

[tacit crystal]

Butcher table is the only upgrade requiring silver, so armor upgrades if you like heavy armor. Fully upgraded Draugr Fang and Frostner are solid.

[halcyon depot]

was planing to do sword with next load of silver that i drag .. so i could lvl up skill a bit.

[tacit crystal]

Fang spear is very cheap in regard of silver.

[halcyon depot]

using iron armor atm and boy o boy what an improvment from Troll set

[mossy fiber]

How about leading new friends into the swamp, assuring them they are ready for any enemy within, only to discover there is a neighboring Plains, and a herd of Lox are on a rampage. Lox 2, friends 0

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings!

Top of the morgen

[livid mesa]

Hi there, just wanted to know, since my friends and I want to wait for the Deep North release to start playing again, is there like a very rough timeframe for when it may come out ? (according to the community, I'm sure the devs would have said something official otherwise)

[merry pebble]

Based on previous experience the absolute earliest it might come out would be very late 2025 or early 2026, but since it will also be 1.0 update we can expect it to take quite a bit longer 🙂

[wispy latch]

The spoilers for the deep north animal reminded me of a funny conflation that happened in finnish with walruses and elephants.

Since both animals were only known here through their teeth sometimes making it here, people thought they were the same animal

[livid mesa]

Thanks a lot !
Because I remember something like, servers from previous versions can be updated as long as you don't generate the biome in-game, but I also heard it's not reliable too ?

[merry pebble]

Any zones/chunks that were not generated before the updates should be able to get new content in them 🙂 so if you didnt explore Deep North you should be able to play at any older world you have

[livid mesa]

Thanks !! Might play sooner then hahaha

Can't wait, so many good memories in this game, and that was on Mistlands release

[hard flume]

Speaking of swamp, like I said we built 2 bases 1 in meadows and 1 near the ocean in black forest and gathered sh*t ton of black forest ores, what should be our next step? How to progress through swamp

We're progressing slowly we love to take our time, we built a factory of smelters bridges ports etc a player is basically only building most of the time

[strange arrow]

sounds like yr doing pretty fine, farming up the good swamp level foods, poison res pots, then focusing on new armor/weapons is the way

[reef brook]

i am kinda want to join in

[hard flume]

We are irl friends only sorry

[reef brook]

it is fine no worries. :3

[iron steeple]

Finding sunken crypts and mining iron ore should probably be your main focus when starting out in the swamp

[reef brook]

well, one thing will not hurt to look for as well is the npc that is the bog witch

it will give you some edge when it comes to food.

[proper sundial]

hey guys! fun question! TWICE in my life I got hit by my own troll staff meteor and I oneshot died BOTH times. However im 24/7 wearing the bubble. Is it possible that both those rear occasions happened on the few seconds window when my bubble was down and I was distracted or is there some sorta bug/interaction with the bubble and troll meteor?

[iron steeple]

Bog witch in the swamp?? Either way bog witch isn’t going to be your primary objective when starting out in the swamp, progressing into the Iron Age should be your main focus, everything else can be happened upon while searching for crypts

[proper sundial]

the meteor perhaps dealing instant fire damage right after or something?

[uneven belfry]

With that building - iron and mountain biome unlock a lot of cool building parts u will be back to building/re-buidling soon xd

[reef brook]

indeed, tiresome but honest work.

[uneven belfry]

Try coordinating fights with your friends and using different weapons for "main weapon"

• 1 atgier (polearm) player is always good to have

[proper sundial]

not that im annoyed this accident has serious consequences but it doesnt add up with how bubble should work imo

[uneven belfry]

Oh and try to AVOID the night time at swamps as much as possible (until you get better gear)

[reef brook]

if a lucky encounter only, make the bog witch a distant 2nd.

[uneven belfry]

Maybe even consider carrying 1 frost Res potion just in case night catches you of guard... (Behind cold AND wet, and sometimes not rested is just a death sentence)

[strange arrow]

bro already found out first hand the issue with starred mobs xD even starred leeches can be deadly as well, just run if trouble seems too much

and don't be afraid to pop Eikthyr power

[tiny tiger]

Triple threat cold wet and tired

Good thing a frost resistant lasts an entire night

[tardy hornet]

is asheland stil laggy as hell?

[tiny tiger]

Depends on your system and graphics settings

[merry pebble]

Depends on your setup really, for some it is, for some it isnt, tho for me it was never really laggy and i dont really have a top notch pc by any means

[tardy hornet]

High end computer stil had stutter

[merry pebble]

So stutters... Not laggy as hell...

[tiny tiger]

I still get dips at times but mostly stay at 60 on max graphics but tryna push 144 it’s a lot less stable for me

[tiny tiger]

What are your specs

[merry pebble]

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600, RAM - 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4, GPU - ATI Radeon RX 580 Series, Disc - Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB

Usually stable 60fps

On mid high settings

[tiny tiger]

CPU/gpu usage during gameplay? I usually get around 20% cpu and up to like 80-90+ gpu usage in the later heavy biomes

[merry pebble]

No idea really 🙂 never checked it

[mint bluff]

i just found a mistlands crypt i forget what theyre called, but its missing a wall in one of the rooms

as in i can jump out of the entire thing

is that common

[tiny tiger]

Do show #screenshots

[iron steeple]

That’s called a door

[tiny tiger]

Looks more like a hole to me

[mint bluff]

are there death barriers or something what would happen if i jumped out

[tiny tiger]

It’s definitely unintended lol

If you have feather cape go for it I’m pretty sure all dungeons spawn far above the map

[merry pebble]

Not really, but oyu can use it as trasportation method since you have feather cape 😄

[tiny tiger]

I recommend saving beforehand tho just in case lol

[mint bluff]

how far down is it

[merry pebble]

A LOT.

[mint bluff]

i just jumped out am i gonna fall for like 10 minutes

[tiny tiger]

Can’t be sure I’ve never had a hole in any of my dungeons

[merry pebble]

With feather cape... maybe...

[mint bluff]

oh god

[tiny tiger]

That’s like the perfect launch point tho lol for exploring just pick a direction and fall

[mint bluff]

yeah i could probably fly really far from here

[iron steeple]

Unequip the cape and fall until you get closer to the ground then re-equip the cape

[tiny tiger]

If you’re gonna do that tho I recommend being over water until you figure out the timing

Or having over 100 health

[iron steeple]

Just don’t leave it to the last moment and you’ll be fine

[merry pebble]

Keep in mind that it takes time to equip it 😉

So timing is important

[iron steeple]

That’s why I said don’t leave it till the last moment

[tiny tiger]

You could probably get some really cool shots for the action/scenic photo comp going on rn

[lusty dirge]

With that health pool it should be fine anyway

[merry pebble]

Ah, sory, i read it as "just leave it..." without the don´t xD sorry

[iron steeple]

No worries lol

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if the dudes still falling lol

[mint bluff]

sure am

[merry pebble]

"And legend has it he is falling to this day..." xD

[mint bluff]

the clouds just appeared

the tree too, and im higher up than it

[tiny tiger]

Oh wow

[merry pebble]

Yep, dungeons are really high 🙂

[iron steeple]

Did you unequip the cape?

[mint bluff]

for a few seconds yes

[tiny tiger]

Imagine just being in the mistlands tho and suddenly a 2 star seeker soldier falls out of the sky right on top of you

[mint bluff]

oh yeah that reminds me

the first time i played mistlands we found the queen dungeon, and she fell out of the sky and started fighting us before we could do anything

we only found her a couple minutes after entering the mistlands for the first time so its safe to say we werent prepared for that

[tiny tiger]

Did you end up defeating her? And how did her burrowing mechanic work in the overworld

[fossil vault]

how does one fight the queen before getting the sealbreaker

I think he fought a gjall or smth

[reef brook]

sealbreaker first before queen

[mint bluff]

im guessing she glitched and clipped out of the dungeon

[tiny tiger]

Maybe bugged spawn point or something

[rotund parrot]

I've seen the queen out of the dungeon once before, it was way back when mistlands launched

[merry pebble]

She was frequently bugging out of the dungeons some time back 🙂
Now it should be fixed

[mint bluff]

we just ran away until we were prepared enough to fight her, if i remember correctly she burrowed like normal, just from one place on the ground to another, and at one point she was fully submerged in water for a minute while we were fighting her

[tiny tiger]

I see, I was wondering how the logic worked around it but I guess she just picked a spot in a radius around her or something

I suffered a lot during my queen fight with her constantly running away to the bottom of the citadel

[mint bluff]

you could probably see how it works if you spawn one in using dev commands outside of the dungeon

[tiny tiger]

The only other boss that took me nearly as long was moder being around 20-30 mins

[mint bluff]

i used swords and had no poison resist on my first bonemass fight, that one took a long time to beat

[fossil vault]

Why do you hate yourself

[mint bluff]

how was i supposed to know he was a big poisonous slash resistant blob

[fossil vault]

The poison part if kinda easy to figure out since everything in the swamp deals poison but the slash resistance isn't really possible to know without reading the wiki

[reef brook]

some people does not want to spoil the encounter.

[tiny tiger]

I think the expectation is you carry poison resistance on you in the swamp but it’s still not exactly possibly to foretell beforehand you can only guess or assume

[azure ermine]

So I went on an exploratory to find a two star troll a little off... but that was not it.
Making the hole bigger didn't do it either... until I broke down the walls that I put on top and one after another out of the broken wall the greydwarfs appeared. Go figure!
Thanks again!

[iron steeple]

Name checks out

[wild stirrup]

I'm curious, do u guys think valheim is a game meant to be played forever, or conpleted

completed

[swift coyote]

i want to come back to valheim, last time got put off by Mistlands and dying there all the time, have they made it easier since?

last time i tried with my friends was a year ago, and we struggled in Mistlands, so it was too frustrating to continue to play

[nocturne wolf]

You can use world modifiers to reduce combat difficulty or death penalty. Default difficulty hasn’t changed.

[swift coyote]

hm, could be an option

i wish they didn't mess with difficulty, because i would likely continue to play

[merry pebble]

Completed, and you can complete it how many times you want. But it will have its end.

[cosmic igloo]

completed. but u can keep playing for roleplaying purposes for example

its completed like minecraft is completed

[merry pebble]

¨But unlike minecraft it will not keep getting content updates after 1.0

[obtuse remnant]

relative to the various minimap zoom levels, which furthest zoom range includes the ~320-450 meter detection range of trader NPCs?

[merry pebble]

I think the first one, but i usually have it on second so i can see if the trader appeared

[mighty mason]

is there a way to time travel back in time for saves and use one 5 mins old? i just ruined a save by loosing 10h of work on a 30h world

[obtuse remnant]

happen to know the scale of each zoom?

[merry pebble]

There should be a manage saves button in the bottom of the main menu

[serene talon]

how exactly do you loose 10 hours of work

[merry pebble]

no unfortunately

[mighty mason]

by dying, im in the water i will drown i got 20 hp and there is leeches around me

first time in the swamp traveling took 40 mins on the better boat

[merry pebble]

Did you not make portal?

[mighty mason]

no

i took a break when my friend didnt wona continue like 3 months back it didnt occur to us unfortunatly

[regal spoke]

I like to think the community will breathe life into Valheim for years to come

[merry pebble]

That Is quite possible 🙂

[obtuse remnant]

i've never coded anything other than mathematics and im seriously thinking about diving into learning unity to toy with mods

[regal spoke]

Mods, RP, and other creativity.

I've got minimal experience with programming. Have also been tempted with making mods.

[obtuse remnant]

I like to think that the devs will do something with some older biomes based on what they've learned the past few years. Nothing drastic, just some nice additions

[merry pebble]

Before 1.0 maybe, but after it i highly doubt that

[regal spoke]

I'm honestly more intrigued by what they may do next

[keen dagger]

Hello, is there a good way to take pictures in valheim? Without UI, something like a Photomode?

[regal spoke]

You can hide hud

[nocturne wolf]

Ctrl + f3

[strange arrow]

i have Morrowind in my steam library lol, i expect Valheim will stay in it just as long

[keen dagger]

Yep that works, thanks

[regal spoke]

For sure. Valheim has years of life to give

[gray roost]

Anyone looking fora servber?

[hard flume]

We found a sunken crypt next to a draugr spawner which spawned 2* archer we died and saved and quit there, how strong should we? Our equipment

Like meads, equipment level, which arrows

[tribal trench]

Ahhhh yes the swamp. Might I suggest a club and a poison resistant mead

good times the swamp

like the never ending story my first time except my horse was not lost to the swamps..... my buddy was lol

[hard flume]

By club you mean mace?

[tribal trench]

a blunt weapon yeah

[hard flume]

How strong my gear should be

Like all level 4 copper right?

[iron steeple]

If yas have troll armour and at least 1 iron buckler and 1 stag breaker between yas then should be good. 1 stagger with the stag breaker and the other use the buckler to parry any hits it manages to get off.

[hard flume]

One guy is full troll set for sneak bow attacks and I am full copper with buckler

[tribal trench]

so your a tanky sword and board player

[hard flume]

Yes I love parrying in these kind of games lol

[iron steeple]

Use the stag breaker instead of bow, skele’s are weak to blunt damage

[clear comet]

you could ask for help, I think I can help getting your stuff back, if you're fine with it

[hard flume]

Tbf we haven't even crafted the stag breaker yet maybe we should and get to some trasures because I need that 150kg carrying capacity

[clear comet]

also troll armor is enough for the swamps, just make sure it's a lvl 4

[tribal trench]

Same... I am the tank build for my group a fellas I run with

[iron steeple]

Stag breaker is your best friend when facing skele’s

[hard flume]

Because of aoe?

[inland pewter]

Having a hard time in the Serves and LFG haveing people respond to me so just going to post in here. Anyone on a fresh vanilla server i can join

[hard flume]

I meant bow for outside mobs not the sunken crypts, he does like 120 with a sneak bow attack to a draugr

[iron steeple]

Won’t be lvl 4 when they first start the swamp.

[hard flume]

Uhh we are at like day 50, I'm sure if we ordered the chests we can find a lot of troll stuff

[clear comet]

Idk it took me 10+ hours before entering swamp

[hard flume]

We killed a couple of 1* trolls

[clear comet]

also lvl 3 troll armour is enough, four is better though

[iron steeple]

You won’t have the crafting bench upgraded enough for lvl 4

[clear comet]

oh wait yeah true

[hard flume]

We have our bows upgraded to lv 4 though

And tools ofc

[iron steeple]

Lvl 3 will suffice though just play it smart

[hard flume]

I can't play when a spawner spawns 2* draugr archer out of nowhere 😔

[iron steeple]

In the crypts I use the bronze mace, draugr have no weaknesses but the slimes are weak to blunt

[iron steeple]

Parry….

[tacit crystal]

Tough luck having 2 star archer spawning. During swamp you can get access to an armor piece that helps against archer attacks..

[hard flume]

Ooh I think I know what you're talking about, root set?

[clear comet]

honestly

it happens, a 2 star skeleton/draugr can absolutely wipe a party

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, chest piece more precisely.

[clear comet]

When my friend still plays this game I remember he got immediately one shotted by them

you can only survive if you go HHS I believe

[hard flume]

Okay now that I know the gear, the most hardship is always being wet in swamps, which foods should we craft before going in

[clear comet]

poison mead

[hard flume]

Uhh he 2 or 3 shotted both of us along with some other mobs

[clear comet]

he wore lvl 1 troll armour so

also just make sure you have blackforest cooked stuff, you should be set

[hard flume]

Yes we definitely need them our food sucks half of the time

[clear comet]

farming is your key

get that deer and boar stew first

[tacit crystal]

First time going in deer stew, minced meat sauce and carrot soup are the best options for HHS food setup and work fine until you get upgrades.
When you find turnip seeds you should grow them asap to get upgrade for your cauldron for better foods.

[clear comet]

you can also go deer stew + boar jerky + carrot soup for HMS

Which leaves some boar meat for your next upgrade (sausages)

a food so good you actually can still use it up to plains

[tacit crystal]

I'd rather use deer meat or queens jam than boar jerky thb, if I had no mats for minced meat sauce.

Mostly I use jerky foods while building unless I've found the bog witch.

[clear comet]

I found boar jerky to be really useful

since you get 2 for 1 meat, and during early game, food grind sucks

the problem is getting the honey bee first

some world doesn't give you honey bees in the starting islands

[hard flume]

Okay guys tysm

[strange arrow]

i disagree xD it's not that hard to find turnips (and you should do so anyway for the spice rack), and entrails are easy to get, that way you can get the combo i posted as reacts and have a much easier time off the bat

[hard flume]

Uhh where do we find those, what ingredients do I need for turnip stew sausages and carrot soup

[strange arrow]

small yellow flowers (similar in size to the carrot plants in bf) in and around the swamp, sometimes you can be lucky and find them at the edges, otherwise just pop Eikthyr and run around till you spot them, and entrails as i mentioned from draugr, other mats are stuff you'll have already

[hard flume]

Small yellow flowers are dandelions?

[strange arrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/ll98e7/turnip_flower_the_elusive_plant/

[hard flume]

OOH I think I've already found them

[strange arrow]

niice

same rotation as with carrot, plant 1 seed get 1 carrot/turnip, then replant 1 carrot/turnip to get a flower plant with 3 seeds

[hard flume]

I haven't done farming yet how does it work

[strange arrow]

you just keep replanting until you have a good sized field full, then start taking some of the finished article to make the food

each cycle you get x3 what you had before, so like for carrots, i would replant and then take 1/3 of the carrots to replant, 1/3 for carrot soup and 1/3 for boar food

[hard flume]

Also I didn't know you could do this, can ı send a picture here or?

Hello everyone, what has been added to the beta version of the game? The northern biome?

[strange arrow]

nothing yet since Ashlands (far South) (and an NPC in swamp)

[bold rover]

okay thank u

[strange arrow]

np, Deep North is in development atm, we don't have any fixed timeframe tho

[raven heron]

i cant figure out that one combo attack that phinqs posted on their youtube. it says attack, hold block, attack and hold secondary attack but it just does a normal secondary attack at the end for me

oh u have to hold both attack buttons

[regal spoke]

Tried to tap block then back to attack? It sounds like an animation flicker

[proper sundial]

guys whaaaat is going on? is the wiki just givin random ass numbers? made up statistics? Putrid holes supposedly have 25% of vegvis. has it been patched? Ive visited 14 or 15 holes and theres nothing

[merry pebble]

Wiki takes values from game code 🙂

[proper sundial]

its sooo frustrating and boring to chase the dam rng :((((((((((

[vocal rivet]

The game IS random. That's why.

[proper sundial]

is anyone else facing such outrageous rng?

[vocal rivet]

Everyone.

The game is the same for everyone.

[proper sundial]

took me 18 25% chance caves to get veg anf the other day I killed 70 something morgens to get a 10% trophy

[vocal rivet]

And?

[proper sundial]

aight cool. thanks yall

[merry pebble]

That is RNG at work tho 🙂

[gilded sinew]

Hello everyone! I create informative videos about Valheim. Can you support me? I want to be successful. You can find the link to my channel on my profile.

[vocal rivet]

#self-promotion would be a good place for those.

[gilded sinew]

Thank u ❤️

Hello again. I just looked around a bit and noticed that there isn't a Discord server representing our country. Can we create a Discord server specifically for our language? Do we need any permission for that?

[merry pebble]

Wdym?

[gilded sinew]

For example, if we create a Discord server called 'Valheim Türkiye' and build a community with people from our country, would that be a problem?"

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt think so, you are basically free to do anything you want on your discord server, as long as you follow discord TOS. If you want a Valheim focused server i don't think there will be any problem with that. You shouldnt call yourself "official turkish Valheim server" or something like that probably but thats the only thing that could be problematic imo.

[gilded sinew]

I see, thank you.

[strange arrow]

3 weeks of spending every night in the mountains in game to find a 2 star wolf agrees

[merry pebble]

Oooof, yeah that 1% can be harsh

[proper sundial]

ha I feel you! I hope you mean 3 weeks in-game not irl 😄 I spent 18 nights to find 2 star so im quite close to you

SORRY! for me it was 14 nights*

[strange arrow]

wasn't the only time as well xD on one server i'd flattened half the mountain out before getting one xD

it was a lot easier to clear the other spawns of golems,drakes, fenrings and wolves though, made fighting them much more comfortable

[proper sundial]

i trust your method but Id rather fight a fenring than flatten a mountain lmao

youre a terraforming menace

[strange arrow]

it looked like a nice tiered garden by the end, it started out as just a way to assist us with the wolf pit which we'd placed next to an abandoned tower

[regal spoke]

Trophy's and Onion seed enter chat

[strange arrow]

cultist and seeker soldier are pretty close

[merry pebble]

Onion seeds Turnip 😄

[pliant hatch]

No, it's a 25% CHANCE to find a Vegvisir.

Just like when you buy a lottery ticket, you have a chance win the jackpot.

It's not guaranteed that in 25% of the Putrid Holes a Vegvisir is present.

It's a whole different thing.

[regal spoke]

Golem trophy are rough too. Turnip is a problem for sure.

I found Fader off the coast. I wonder if exploration is better like for Yag

[merry pebble]

Well, in high enough numbers it should mean it, but on this relatively small scale of tens and hundreds it really doesent have to 😄

[vocal rivet]

No, even with a million holes, it's still 25%.

[merry pebble]

Yes, i meant that while its is 25% chance per hole, with high enough number of holes roughly 25% of them should have them 🙂

[serene talon]

you will find father eventually, fortresses have vegvisirs often and there are 5 locations, combined with how small ashlands are its easy

actually first time i sailed to ashlands fader was on the first coast i saw

[strange arrow]

same, but just a bit inland, stumbled across it right away

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands is fairly large area, but it's all in the same place which makes the pace of progression a bit faster than all previous biomes.

[serene talon]

ye

[unreal veldt]

im almost at my 1000 hours mark of play time on valheim

994.4 Hours/1000 Hours

Valheim is number 1 on my most played list on steam

[tiny tiger]

What’s your review on the game? Favourite and least favourite aspects?

[unreal veldt]

Favorite thing is the building
least favorite is the Swamp

the swamp is intimidating when you first lay eyes on it

[tiny tiger]

Very punishing to new players for sure, it’s probably my favourite biome to come back to late game tho just to curb stomp all the enemies and get some ez iron

[unreal veldt]

i also love the valheim modding community

they carry the game while the devs are working hard on the upcoming patches

[vocal rivet]

The game, fortunately, doesn't need carrying.

[unreal veldt]

theres already mods for the deep north such as DeepNorth Monstrum and Ice and Fire Mod found on the Thunderstore thatll satisfy me until the Official deep north comes out

[vocal rivet]

OK? Good for you, but the game certainly doesn't need it.

[tiny tiger]

I’ve barely scratched the surface of mods yet, I don’t think I plan to until I get bored of vanilla but that isn’t happening anytime soon

The seasons mod particularly I want to try at some point

[unreal veldt]

they should totally add a seasonal feature into the game

[strange arrow]

heh, a lot of mods just exist coz folk disagree with the dev's take on storage/inventory

[unreal veldt]

i want to see snow in the meadows

this could also make frost resistance meads more useful other than the mountains

[paper marsh]

I'm personally not a fan of the resistance meads, I usually play without them.

I feel like they trivalize a lot of hazards without really sacrificing much for it, doesn't feel right

[unreal veldt]

theres some mods that expand on the options to craft with materials such as Troll hide

[merry pebble]

#mods-discussion 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Mods don't carry a game.

They alter the game to please that part of the community that doesn't like the vanilla experience because of it being "too grindy", "too slow", "too woke", "not woke enough", "needing more QoL", but often simply means (to me anyway) "I'm too lazy to spend 2 seconds to do something, so I automate it."

[cosmic igloo]

"too woke" ??? lol

mods can just also give replayability, they are great and can absolutely carry a game

[strange arrow]

rule 9 🚨

[tiny tiger]

And there’s nothing wrong with that, not everyone has the time to spend countless hours on doing an aspect of the game they don’t enjoy in the first place

[pliant hatch]

I don't care if people use mods or not. But to claim that the mods carry the game........ Not true.

[cosmic igloo]

take skyrim for example. some mods give entire reasons for ppl to do playthroughs there, STILL. 100% carry

[tiny tiger]

I mean it’s an opinion there’s no truth or false to it

Or atleast it’s true for them false for you

[merry pebble]

Yes, after the game has actually been out for many years, and there is still massive player base that enjoys the vanilla

[strange arrow]

i like the ones that add build pieces, but i won't be looking at them until way past 1.0

[unreal veldt]

not all of the mods are QOL theres extensive amount of them that expand the building peices

[strange arrow]

massively popular games attract massive amounts of personalization, there's nothing wrong with that but it also doesn't mean the game doesn't stand up on it's own

[unreal veldt]

in my current playthrough i have 4 bases

1 Near Eikthyr My Starter
1 Near Elder
1 Near Bonemass
1 Near Yagluth My Current one
Im at Ashlands now

[strange arrow]

didn't fancy a Mistlands base? or just have a mushroom farm?

[unreal veldt]

I Actually have a smaller shelter base at mistlands

[signal bloom]

my main base is in mistlands and I'll never look back

it is an impenetrable fortress immune to every raid

[tiny tiger]

You got pics?

[unreal veldt]

My main base is in a perfect spot With Swamp, Mountains, Meadows, Black forest (With Trader) Plains nearby my base is on the Meadows/Plains border so i can Grow flax and barley

crossroads base 🤌

[tiny tiger]

Oh wow that is very nice indeed I like the integration of Yggdrasil shoots

[strange arrow]

nice indeed

[signal bloom]

the main support is the yggdrasil shoots lol

[unreal veldt]

My Main base only has 1 Portal and ive written down all my other portals tags around my world

[signal bloom]

zero iron beams

[strange arrow]

not a fan of iron runs? xD

[unreal veldt]

My main base also has a basement with 300+ Chests

[tiny tiger]

Like the basic wooden ones or?

[signal bloom]

nope!! can't stand it haha

[unreal veldt]

Basic wooden ones and some iron chests

[signal bloom]

here's some of the interior prior to Ashland's: #building-screenshots message

[strange arrow]

who grew that fudging tree through my tower?

i have one of those too xD

[unreal veldt]

My friend forbids Portals in his Server cause he says it takes away the Challenge and Adventure of the Ocean biome i kinda agree with him

[signal bloom]

the things you can accomplish with tree support + 6x2 stone walls is WILD

[cosmic igloo]

damn thats amazing

is it laggy?

[signal bloom]

nope - zero lag

[tiny tiger]

Not sure what kind of ocean biomes he has but mine are full of inconvenient wind and the struggle of finding serpents when I try to seek them out lol

[cosmic igloo]

would be cool if irongate hired some builders like u, to make bases like this for dvergs or whatever

[signal bloom]

one of the main reasons it became my main base idk if it's cause mistlands has limited trees or because it's so high up or what but there's like a fraction of the instances compared to my original meadows base

[tiny tiger]

It’s all them damn trees rocks and greylings eating up the instance count

[signal bloom]

I'm still learning my buildings are nothing compared to some of the stuff I see on here. I'm horrible at interior decorating / design lol

[strange arrow]

also having lots of iron beams whacks up the instances, so many snap points 😩

[regal spoke]

Father has a structure that stands out from a distance. Probably more work getting summoning mats

[merry pebble]

Tho, if you are getting the summoning materials first you will also likely find the vegvisir 🙂

[regal spoke]

Probably spot on.

[shy marlin]

counterpoint: fuling totems and yag vegvisir 😏

[merry pebble]

Well, there its the problem of too little chanche for vegvisir on top of too little locations that actually can have it 😄

[shy marlin]

just thought i'd take another shot at the dead horse

[merry pebble]

Poor guy that one, and isnt even in game 😄

[near furnace]

or dodgeroll and win

[hasty citrus]

Valheim sucks bro. I can’t find anything better

It’s like your first meal being a rich feast

[strange arrow]

we even have those in game too xD

[nimble moss]

Just wait till it’s raining at night and head out then; that’ll maximise the chance…

[proper sundial]

yuh.. its just when you go 4x over the average it starts to feel a little sus

[true mortar]

Is fighting bonemass within 4hrs for the 1st time ever fast? (New char and world)

(single player)

[shy marlin]

1st time ever as in very first valheim playthrough? or

[true mortar]

First time getting up to bonemass

[shy marlin]

then no

[true mortar]

Ok

[shy marlin]

in terms of speedrunning that is, for the avg player prolly is fast

[true mortar]

I've only played 2 worlds (and characters) so far and this is the 2nd one (the other is a world me and my gf play on together and we have only just beaten the elder)

[proper sundial]

you mean you found bonemass, declared war on it and came back after 4 hours to smack them? Or did your fight last 4 hours? 😄

[true mortar]

Neither

I've only been in the world 4hrs

[proper sundial]

oh I see. nice!

[nimble moss]

It doesn’t matter; play at YOUR speed. If you are having fun; that’s all that matters.

Some people kill the first boss in the first 5-10mins. Some people kill the first boss after a month while building their nice Meadows home.

Some people skip the first boss and kill Fader.

Whatever. Enjoy it. Have a good time. If you want to compare times, get into speed running; otherwise go at your pace 🙂

[azure yacht]

Does it matter if it is?

[true mortar]

I was just curious

[true mortar]

Ive always been into speed running with whatever game I play so I probably will get into it for Valheim

[nimble moss]

Speed runners do it in 5-15mins generally. Most people do it hours to days. It honestly varies.

[nimble moss]

Awesome! We got a Valheim Speedrunnjng Discord if you want to come over.

[true mortar]

For bonemass or eyktheir

[true mortar]

Ok, could you DM me an invite?

[nimble moss]

Eikithyr. Bonemass is usually 30-60mins, but I personally leave him till the end to avoid wolf raids.

[true mortar]

Ok

I did Eikithyr at the start of day 2

So a little slow lol

[near furnace]

@nimble moss ......

[wind lark]

difference between fenris and carapace armor vs a gjall is abyssal...
I have max lv carapace and just 1 gjall shot MELTS me
I could tank gjall projectiles in fenris all day

[near furnace]

Raven said DM 😛

[nimble moss]

I tried to post the Valheim Speedrunning Discord.

But yep, I’ve DM’d now.

[near furnace]

any discord link get's wrist slapped 😛

[nimble moss]

Not at all. If you’re grabbing stuff, I often kill first boss at start of Day 2, that’s about 22mins in, and if your stocked up; I find it works well.

[nimble moss]

Yeah, just discovered 🙂

[true mortar]

Ok, I was stacking up (I had the two deer trophies within like 5 mins)

[nimble moss]

There are bunch of videos, records, streams etc; so watch what some of the other speedrunners do, combine it with your style and maybe some of your own tricks, and have fun!!

[true mortar]

I will, thx a lot

[exotic swan]

QQ, I loaded into a world with a Maypole, I CANNOT move this right? It needs to not be touched at all to retain it's comfort bonus?

[shy marlin]

correct

[pliant ingot]

anyone got hella knowlage about valheim and can help me in valheim help?

[signal bloom]

base goes where maypole is not other way around 😂

[shy marlin]

unless it's the summer time then you can build it wherever 😏

[exotic swan]

yeah for sure, my follow up question is looking to figure how to neatly build around it since it's stuck in the floor haha

[signal bloom]

oof not sure never got lucky enough to find one in my world

[nimble moss]

If you temp change your computer clock, you can build one “there” but slightly in a better position if you want. It’s your game; play it how you like!

[nimble moss]

Yeah, they are super rare. Some worlds don’t even have one. Most have only 1-3.

[near furnace]

there use to be worlds with 5+ maypoles naturally

[stuck dagger]

Using console cheats you can move it

Or at least remove and replace it wherever you wany

[exotic swan]

hmm yeah I'm kinda on the fence of how much I wanna play vanilla versus mods/console, I'm already allowing everything through portal but maybe moving the maypole ain't that big of a deal

it's really just +1 comfort at the end of the day

[stuck dagger]

If it was me I wouldnt mind. The maypole is there and as long as you arent moving it miles away you arent really gaining anything except aesthetics

If you want to do it then activate devcommands (Google can tell you how) and use 'debugmode' then press B while holding a hammer to remove build cost, you should then see all the recipes appear including a maypole, place it wherever you like, turn off debugmode and reload the game for your recipes to go back to normal

[nimble moss]

The maypole won’t be a mod. Just a dev command. Just do it; have fun, enjoy the view of it and build something cool around it.

[nimble moss]

Oh wow. Still now, or just old algorithm?

Either way, rare to find (unless using map viewer)

[stuck dagger]

I'm playing a world currently that has 2, and I've only explored about a quarter

[exotic swan]

Appreciate the advice y'all, I think I'll end up moving this maypole just a bit 🙂

[sly fractal]

HEY GUYS, whats up - im just about to cop the game, i figured i'd love to play with a group of friends or maybe a duo just to grind out this game and have alot of fun. Would love for anyone to join up with me, im from the UK

[vocal rivet]

You might be able to find a server in #1024264966712340510

[sly fractal]

Sweet1 - just posted therea

[narrow flame]

Hey anybody down to start a new world and use discord chat?

[stuck dagger]

#1024264966712340510

[sullen trout]

Hello guys, is there a build that turns you into a rapid firing Legolas?

[ember kraken]

Mostly just training up the bow skill ? And learn to release at the right time to speed up the next shot.

[sullen trout]

That's nice, does it reduce draw time?

[ember kraken]

Yes, quite a lot. It's probably the strongest skill in the game in terms of effect for leveling it up.

[sullen trout]

wow that's solid

Also can I upgrade my tree chopping axe preferably something like Iron axe to fight mobs? Or do I need to make a sword or another weapon?

[ember kraken]

You can use axe as a weapon, it usually isn't the very best, but it's decent enough in most cases.

[sullen trout]

Alright, thanks!

[ember kraken]

If you want a minimum amount of weapons type of approach: Bow, Axe, Mace.

Gives you 1 of each damage type, so you can get around weaknesses or resistances.

[sullen trout]

That's neat! I really need my inventory space so thanks!

[ember kraken]

Just remember to make room for a shield :p

Another thing I learned was to make a couple of those item stands you can place on a wall. Put a bunch of them next to each others on a wall near your door. So when going about the house farming etc, you can place a couple of your weapons or shield etc on a couple of empty ones. And then pickup cultivator, hoe, etc.

And when done farming, swap them back. You generally don't need hoe+cultivator when out fighting.

[stuck dagger]

Are you saying that you arent good enough to beat all the bosses using a hoe?

Sounds like a skill issue mate

[ember kraken]

Tbh, personally I always bring the hoe, and I do use it to beat most of the bosses :p I think it's OP as heck.

[stuck dagger]

Wait that's an actual strategy?

That's made my day XD

[sullen trout]

right now Im using a chest to place my tools there but yeah item stands sound nicer.

btw what are the enemy types I should be using Poison arrows on.

[ember kraken]

As with all damage types, just try it on enemies and watch the number colours.

yellow = weak
white = normal
grey = resist

[sullen trout]

Alright, thanks

[ember kraken]

Do keep in mind general number creep. Sometimes even if something is weak to fire, the fire arrows are probably so weak that other arrows does more damage, just from having higher numbers

[sullen trout]

hmm, true

[ember kraken]

But obviously poison arrows isn't going to do anything against a Blob etc.

[sullen trout]

it doesn't do anything against zombies either(I forgot their name)

[wintry valve]

the drugged

[vocal rivet]

Um, draugr.

[ember kraken]

Example: I beat the plains boss using: Hammer + Hoe + Stagbreaker. Placed a workbench, used a ton of stone to raise terrain around the entire area. Spawn the boss, and he gets stuck in one of my terraformed "cages". And I just stand behind a safe wall of earth and AOE him slowly to death with stagbreaker.

It's dumb, it's slow, but it works.

I consider: Hammer, Hoe, Pickaxe and Stagbreaker to be the strongest weapons in the game :p

[stuck dagger]

Ohhhhh that's kinda cool then

[wintry valve]

One of the best way to get the correct information is to give the wrong answer to a question.

[sullen trout]

that's actually funny lol

[stuck dagger]

I'm relatively new to the game, played up until I was about to fight moder with my gf until she lost interest in the game, so I made a new game and I'm already at bonemass in less than a 3rd of the time

[wintry valve]

Somehow it incentivize people into answering.

[sullen trout]

true lol

[wintry valve]

this being said, I was doing a joke, not trolling people into answering

[sullen trout]

what was the last straw. I'm just curious lol.

[stuck dagger]

Oh she doesn't dislike it, she just became more obsessed with another game and got a little bored of the occasional resource gathering

[sullen trout]

all good I like a good laugh lol

[sullen trout]

ironically my favorite parts about valheim is resource gathering, farming and cooking. Boss fights and mobs are a nice to have for me. lol

[stuck dagger]

I fucking love resource gathering too, I love to just turn my brain off and watch the funny numbers go up

[tiny tiger]

Plains stone pillars go boom

[stuck dagger]

Already on this world, bearing in mind I rushed to bonemass, I have about a dozen stacks of wood and rock sitting outside my shitty little hut I'm living in until (tomorrow) i make the stonecutter and a nice house

[tiny tiger]

I find cutting through black forests really satisfying

[stuck dagger]

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing your inventory full of useful valuable stuff

[sullen trout]

Good luck!

[stuck dagger]

They're great for resource gathering too, so much forage

[wintry valve]

Ah yeah, I love walking throught he ashland for 2 minutes and I cant pick up anything because im full of grausten

[tiny tiger]

I like to do it in stages so I’ll start with just cutting the actual trees into logs then I go through for the stumps and logs placing wood piles as I go and then clear the rocks

[stuck dagger]

Thanks, I think I'm pretty good at building but nothing special, I'll probably go for a more traditional style viking house

Then I'll build a workshop, farm, animal pen etc separate, having it all in one house just feels cramped

A large central house I like, but a few smaller specialised buildings around it really sells it imo

[sullen trout]

Oh wow now that I think about it, I didn't think of it that way. That's something I also should start doing.

[wintry valve]

How many people asked today about the upcoming update?

[stuck dagger]

On the first world I initially tried to have everything in one giant longhouse but I realised that
A: stacks of chests don't look good usually
B: the longhouse really would have to be gigantic to fit everything

[tiny tiger]

If I search in chat when deep north from today none apparently

[stuck dagger]

I like to have a building that's purely for comfort/aesthetics in almost all survival games I play, then all the practical stuff can go elsewhere, I don't want to be looking at 1000 chests and a stonecutter from my bed lol

[ember kraken]

I have container syndrome, I like to pack everything as tightly together as I can :p

[stuck dagger]

I'm really rambling now but what I'd like to do one day is make the ravensthorpe longhouse from AC Valhalla

I tried recently in creative just out of curiosity but ran into issues with support despite using iron beams

[sullen trout]

so far I've been doing that lol

[stuck dagger]

I'm sure a better more patient builder probably could though, it's an incredible example of viking architecture

[stuck dagger]

I'm doing it currently purely because I know it's effective, but I can never put up with it for long XD

[tiny tiger]

I just got a wall full of black metal chests behind all my crafting stations tbh it doesn’t look nice but it does the job

[stuck dagger]

I like to build little storage outposts near their relevant workstations

[tiny tiger]

It’s got the aesthetic of a garage where you are working on a car or something with tools everywhere

[stuck dagger]

E.g. there'll be a fancy hut with about 20 chests full of materials next to the workshop

Similar hut next to the foodstations

Etc etc, takes up more room but I like it

[sullen trout]

oh btw guys, when a raid ends a special message is supposed to appear something like "The forest calms for now" It doesn't appear in my game. It shows the message when the raid begins but it doesn't show the message which ends the raid. idk why

[wintry valve]

I would maybe consider verifying the game's cache

[sullen trout]

alright I'll check it. thanks

[echo crest]

This happens in almost anything in life...

[cerulean osprey]

Hey all question here. I heard that there is an enemy that can destroy dirt walls. I play on a unmodified server on hard mode. Can’t find it on valheim wiki

Who is it

[ember kraken]

Afaik, none.

[cerulean osprey]

Thanks

Means that we can build our dirt walls

[ember kraken]

I honestly think some enemies should be able to, as it is, dirt walls are absolutely insane, and completely breaks the AI.

[buoyant panther]

I think a few enemies can via "pickaxe damage". But they'll not really target it except incidentally.

[ember kraken]

Nope, pickaxe damage just damages stone, and sometimes metals.

[buoyant panther]

Hm, alright, thanks, good to know.

[humble pewter]

The lava blobs from ashlands do destroy earth walls if they explode in close proximity.

[ember kraken]

Oh cool!

[cedar swan]

What's the best iron weapon?

[nocturne wolf]

The mace is best for skeletons, blobs, bonemass and an enemy in the next biome

[cedar swan]

Is the battle ace good?

Axe*

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but if you want to save iron, you only need the mace. Bonemass is resistant to the battleaxe’s slash damage

[gilded sinew]

Hey everyone. Is there a way to copy my friend's server, which was set up via Steam, to Xbox somehow? I want to host and run my friend's server on my own PC because hosting it on his end causes some lag while he's recording YouTube videos.

[exotic cradle]

#valheim-help might be of better use, we just discuss weapons here

[gilded sinew]

Sorry, I'm new to Discord. My apologies.

[exotic cradle]

It was a joke 😄 but they might help you more with technical issues

[near furnace]

#dedicated-server chat also can help

[azure yacht]

Lava blob

[near furnace]

and it should be possible with just transfearing files

[tacit crystal]

It is, but might take some time to get to using it.

You could save iron and craft the next one.

[flat fable]

Hey guys

[azure crag]

hai

[exotic swan]

Does anyone else here love Valheim?

[merry pebble]

On official valheim discord? Nah, no one 😄

[cosmic igloo]

YES LOVE IT :)

[exotic swan]

Looks like I'm in the right place

[merry pebble]

If you love valheim then indeed you are 😄

[tribal trench]

YES! very good one

[serene talon]

YES but it takes soooo much time

[vernal pebble]

I haven't played in like a year, can someone remind me what are the max levels now for stations

[tacit crystal]

5 for workbench, 7 for forge, ||5|| for ||black forge||, ||4|| for ||Galdr table|| and ||2|| for artisan table.

[exotic swan]

Haha you're right, but I think that's a good thing, otherwise you would just breeze through the game!

[serene talon]

wow i really appreciate your dedication to being spoiler free!

[signal bloom]

does scythe not cut.. mistlands crops??

[nocturne wolf]

It can’t harvest some crops for whatever reason

[charred rune]

Those are mushrooms, not crops. Guess the developers made that distinction on purpose

[tacit crystal]

I put spoiler alert just in case since they stated playing 1 year ago when Ashlands wasn't there yet.

[nocturne wolf]

They are farmed objects that function exactly the same as those from previous biomes

[serene talon]

wait, didnt they say it was a bug or do i remember incorrectly

[signal bloom]

idk

[vernal pebble]

What about the cooking ones I've seen that they work differently now

[tacit crystal]

Right, cauldron has max of ||6|| and the new mead ketill and preparation table have no upgrades.

[vernal pebble]

Ok ty

I played ashlands but stopped after because its too much lag

[tiny tiger]

💨

[signal bloom]

I believe there was a lot of optimizations they added regarding Ashland's lag

[shy marlin]

it's still pretty bad tbh

[merry pebble]

Well Its lot going on in there after all 😄 and with time it will get better

[fallen peak]

Would anyone be able to help me flatten out the land inside my fencing

[scenic igloo]

im looking into modded valheim, any ideas

[fallen peak]

Anyone

[exotic cradle]

#mods-discussion

[exotic cradle]

Pickaxe, hoe, hold shift when flattening land for better accuracy

[fallen peak]

I’m on steamdeck lol

[exotic cradle]

There should still be buttons for it

[fallen peak]

It’s just been a struggle lol

[exotic cradle]

I can come help, DM me

[fallen peak]

Ok

[signal bloom]

I feel this lol. took me weeks to get a comfortable steaminput setup

[hazy bolt]

lol valheim crashed and I was sent back to the shrines with no way of getting back to ashlands. yayyy!!!

[wheat tulip]

hello all. Looking for people who like to play on a stady basis. In about 3 month I will get back my old world and I would realy appreciate help in it. My girlfriend and I achieved allot with a friend and now with the new updates we are not albe to finish it.

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[wheat tulip]

Are there people who would go on that journy with us?

would like to do that but not while I have to scroll down on 400+ posts

[warped remnant]

what are this lines in plains i am pretty sure there weren't before there

[wheat tulip]

and not able to skip it

[regal spoke]

Seems like you're hosting. Perhaps making your own post in the suggested section would serve you well

[merry pebble]

You can also make your own there where people would find you 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Small visual bug in terrain but nothing more afaik.

[merry pebble]

Known bug, quite old already actually

[wheat tulip]

and I cant even post a text in there

[tacit crystal]

I believe since Mistlands patch.

[warped remnant]

well i didn't play the game for a long time maybe i fogor

[regal spoke]

Are we talking the rifts in the terra?

[merry pebble]

The brown lines on the ground, most noticable in plains

[regal spoke]

Hearth and home that one no?

[tacit crystal]

In newer worlds I've played I've noticed them only in Plains.

[warped remnant]

just looks a bit funny some of them cross each other like there is a treasure underneath it

[regal spoke]

They exist in BF too? Sure I seen the same

[near furnace]

it's chunk edges

only cosmetical

[regal spoke]

Ofc

Haven't bothered. Could we simply hoe/cultivate the blemish out? Or are those spots bugged

[tacit crystal]

Probably could be cultivated with grass but I haven't bothered too, honestly.

[warped remnant]

the lines are there because the devs are trolling us

[merry pebble]

Not that old i believe

[regal spoke]

Your presence brought a great disturbance in the realm. Evident by the rifts in the land.

[plush umbra]

the dirt lines at chunk edges were introduced in the ashlands update.
the uncultivateable rock lines around previously terraformed areas were introduced in the mistlands update.

[tiny tiger]

Dirt lines in plains have been around since atleast mistlands

[plush umbra]

the latter's been patched, the former is still an eyesore on both new and old worlds

[tiny tiger]

Fortunately you can fix it with a cultivator if you desire I tested this recently

[plush umbra]

well, we can test that~

[tiny tiger]

I started really playing the game around mistlands before that my pc wasn’t strong enough and sur enough my first time in plains they were there and an eyesore

[tacit crystal]

If I recall correctly some older worlds also got similar lines of stone patch after Mistlands patch, at least in my older worlds that happened.

[tiny tiger]

Bought the game on ea release couldn’t play properly until mistlands 😢

[plush umbra]

how quickly did you get to plains?

because note that these lines even apply retroactively not just to old worlds but even already generated chunks

[tiny tiger]

I don’t remember to be honest but the latest update was mistlands and I had made a fresh world

[regal spoke]

I read that there is a "pulling down" as a world generates. Is this part of the ripping as well as mountains touching ocean?

[tiny tiger]

I never reached plains before that because I was playing at 15fps in the Black Forest

[plush umbra]

currently running the most recent version before the ashlands update, entered an existing world - no dirt lines
gonna see for a fresh world now

[tiny tiger]

you got access to official mistlands release patch?

[warped remnant]

i still didn't find yoghurt or how ever his name was

[tiny tiger]

it’s yoghurt with a capital Y

[warped remnant]

yes

[plush umbra]

the default_preal beta accessible through steam.
which is the official last patch before ashlands went live.
the mistlands update itself wasn't archived, only the last version before it, same as the ashlands update

[tiny tiger]

It’s the boss after Modem

[warped remnant]

yes

[plush umbra]

fresh world, also no dirt lines

[tiny tiger]

In the plains?

[plush umbra]

yepp

[tiny tiger]

no way did they fix it just to break it again lol

[plush umbra]

though when the bug was first introduced, it was very common in all biomes

maybe you're confusing it with some other issue

rocks try to create a sphere of dirt coverage underneath them, which for the ones buried in plains sometimes results in these dirt splorts next to them

[tiny tiger]

Yeah no it’s distinct X shapes

Perfectly in line with when you mine

[plush umbra]

does any record of it remain? like a screenshot?

those should be dated

[regal spoke]

I've seen rips in the terra. They look like the clean edges of a trench wall.

[plush umbra]

that's normal, chunk edges do that

[tiny tiger]

Unfortunately I don’t believe I ever took screenshots of it but I’ll have a look and see if I have any plains screenshots where it’s visible tomorrow, getting ready for work early morning rn

[regal spoke]

Can they be landscaped

[plush umbra]

yes

[regal spoke]

Sweet

[plush umbra]

but strangely, they even paint over already landscaped areas, so they can ruin existing paths

-# which i would have definitely noticed if it happened before the ashlands update

[tiny tiger]

The X’s are usually most visible where the terrain bulges out like the top of a hill

[plush umbra]

oh trust me, i'm lookin all over, they're nowhere

[tiny tiger]

Interesting

[regal spoke]

Perhaps more likely near multi biome

[tiny tiger]

Hard to tell what factors cause it, the game is just failing to place grass at chunk borders in certain places for some unbeknownst reason

[regal spoke]

For sure. If I find an X I'll make it a feature of the build lol

[plush umbra]

which is strange because grass is the "default" state of terrain - dirt is kind of a feature so to say, so it's adding something

[tiny tiger]

in Black Forest and mountain you can find areas along chunk borders where the pattern suddenly switches up too but it’s a lot less visible then the chunk borders in the plains where it leaves dirt

[plush umbra]

the chunk borders are normal and were always a thing, i'm seeing lots of them here but none of them are lined with dirt

[tiny tiger]

Well ima head off but I’ll have a look in morning and post screenshots if I have any

[regal spoke]

I usually see the rips clean edges with grass neatly in place

[plush umbra]

like this i presume

[regal spoke]

Two chunks with a split sometimes it's 4 corners

I've seen an X once since Ashland's

[plush umbra]

only once?

[tacit crystal]

Those I've also seen many times, but haven't been bothered with them.

[regal spoke]

Yea. It was in the plains. Im hopping across multiple servers

[plush umbra]

yea chunk borders like that are normal and common, i'm only surprised you've only run into or noticed one spot where 4 chunks meet

[regal spoke]

Oh fair. Kinda hoping to see more. I see fun stuff on the ocean when servers are desync lol

[wispy latch]

I should post some of the funky generations my old world got to the mistlands and some mountains

One of the great ones was a long spike of ground that has a silver vein at the top

[regal spoke]

Like whole chunks of water operating out of time with one another. It's a trip

[regal spoke]

Do these kinds of pictures belong in meme or screenshots lol

[wispy latch]

There is also the fuling village where the houses are all in deep holes

[regal spoke]

Cool

[junior thicket]

Can you give some tips for building the roof of my house

[strange arrow]

#valheim-public-test message

[plush umbra]

may? wasn't that after ashlands?

[strange arrow]

in my world it was yes, but i wasn't the one claiming to have seen it before that 🙂

i added the link for folk who just didn't know what we were discussing/thought it was something else

[plush umbra]

ah, well, yea. as far as i know they appeared with ashlands build 1.
i trust my eye for details so i strongly doubt that i would have missed something so obvious pre ashlands, especially considering it also affects existing worlds, but i remembered earlier that i was almost completely inactive on valheim between october 2023 (double-checked via steam year review) and ashlands testing, so if there really was a version with dirt lines somewhere before ashlands, it might not have been a failing of my perception since i just didn't play at the time
though again, the most recent pre-al build has no dirt lines so i'm a little sceptical any pre-al build did

[strange arrow]

i can't find any evidence of it between Mistlands and Ashlands but i didn't do much Plains recon at that time either, can't say for sure either way, but i usually do notice anything out of the ordinary and especially with Ashlands all the funky terrain changes which were quite funny and weird

[late prism]

when is the new update coming?

[nocturne wolf]

💥

[late prism]

yooo lets go cant wait!

[cosmic igloo]

same. already got all my valheim crash out food bought and all my friends coming over

gonna be legen.. wait for it.. dary

[slim dagger]

Theoretically if I were to cover an entire swamp besides the shore in workbenches would only leeches be able to spawn? and then it could amplify spawn rates right?

[near furnace]

no. the update isn't comming tomorrow

[merry pebble]

Not really, each type of mob has its own cap, leaches have theirs, draugr theirs and so on. 🙂

[broken light]

Whats the update?

[merry pebble]

Which one?

[broken light]

Thats coming

[merry pebble]

Again, which one 😄

[near furnace]

the one in PTB or some other update?

[broken light]

O i dont know

[near furnace]

then I'll answer both.
The PTB one will be out when we (irongate studios) decided it works good enough with no issues
deep north content update will come when we are done with it. (and it won't be anytime soon)

and no. joking about when an update is comming is very very not fun, or a "prank"
Why not you may ask?

Well...

News papers, news agencies, content creators etc etc will go into overdrive to produce content and try to be first with the news to gain clicks and traction to their information platforms or sites.

So if the information is wrong. alot of people will burn out or become labeled as untrustworthy to the players / readers if they tell people something that isn't true.

yes, it's their own fault for listning to rumors, but todays society demands super-quick information. be first or be last mostly.
so DON'T joke about the dates.

[slim dagger]

what is the PTB update?

[near furnace]

PTB means Public Test Branch

basicly we allow some things to be tested publicly for people who joins

you can join in the id:customize

how to join is in the pinned comments

[signal bloom]

what is the absolute fastest way to kill a Valkyrie solo?

[uneven belfry]

Hmmm I think my fastest one was with blue slayer

You can parry her and counter for double DMG

And the MMB deals big dmg

[signal bloom]

dang that's what I use but I keep whiffing after parries

[signal bloom]

MMB?

[uneven belfry]

Yeah that's very terrain dependent

[uneven belfry]

Middle mouse button - special attack

[signal bloom]

ooh middle mouse

[tacit crystal]

Start with crossbow, continue with spear hits and throws.

[rotund parrot]

I just use the bow, with a high bow skill, a sneak attack from the first hit and 5-6 more arrows as it is coming to you it should go down before she gets to launch an attack

[pliant hatch]

Make sure devcommands and debugmode are enabled before hand and when encountering one of the Valkyries, press [K].

Kills it and everything in an area around you within a nano-second.

[rotund parrot]

I just recalled why I stopped coming here

[exotic cradle]

Absolutely horrid advice wtf

[pliant hatch]

It was for the fastest way. Not "the fastest way with weapons."

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, technically correct.

[nocturne wolf]

Smiffehammer!!

[exotic cradle]

Ok next time EVERYONE PLEASE ELABORATE if you mean with weapons or with cheats

[pliant hatch]

The only reason I put it up is because there are as many "fast ways" as there are weapons in this game.
What may be a fast way to kill a Valk for one person, may be something someone else absolutely loathes to use.

Something you just have proven yourself by your reaction.

[vocal rivet]

Chances are, though, when people ask they mean in vanilla without dev commands.

[signal bloom]

hey I'm just glad I learned there's a hotkey for kill all 😂

[exotic cradle]

great...! super duper happy 4 u xoxo

[pliant hatch]

Which includes your tames.

[pliant hatch]

I never said it should be used.
I just pointed out it's the fastest way to kill a Valk.

[signal bloom]

think imma try this out I gotta work on my spear skill

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, don't sleep on Splitnir, especially in Iolite version. Very useful against enemies that are not charred.

[signal bloom]

I was thinking of making splitnir into green version since it's attack speed is so fast

[tacit crystal]

Primary hits with spears level up faster than other weapons too.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, Jade weapons are all good! Probably my favorite versions in general.

[untold sorrel]

Hi, i dont mean to be a Irritation but i was wondering if we have a ETA on the full release of the game by any chance, i really want to play it again and start anew (played during the mistlands update) but i wouldnt want to go through everything if the game were to be one or 2 months away from launch

[signal bloom]

I mainly asked because I just found out today dundr chunks mogren health insanely fast (faster than what I could've ever imagine) realized I was missing out on not using it for so long

[tacit crystal]

Currently they are working on Deep North and 1.0 but there is no current date when it will be released.

[pliant hatch]

No-one but the devs know when it's going to be released. And so far they haven't told us.

So if you want to do a playthrough up to Ashlands, you can easily do that.

[chrome badge]

If things continue as they always have, it shouldn't have a large impact on a playthrough starting now, just be sure not to visit the snowy biome on the very north of your map, and you should be in the clear!

[untold sorrel]

alright cool, just scared im gonna reach ashlands somewhere within the next month and then be like, oh the game released guess i lost all my progress and gotta start again 🙂

[untold sorrel]

aren all save files going to be obsolute ?

and we have to start anew

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t have to start again but it will be the best way of experiencing the new content being brought to existing biomes

[tacit crystal]

You can continue your older world even when new biomes or content are released.

[pliant hatch]

You won't have to fear that there will be a "wipe" as that's not going to happen. Ever.

[chrome badge]

So far that hasn't been the case, I play on a world created when EA first dropped, and it has updated alongside everything they've added, I just withheld uncovering a lot of my world.

[untold sorrel]

ahh alright cool thanks, appreciate you guys helping me out

[tacit crystal]

Some may see it underwhelming, but it is really useful tool for mage arsenal. The knockback of it against smaller mobs adds survivalibity and it really annihilates Morgen.

And, it shoots logs really far: #memes-and-clips message

[strange arrow]

gotta work on that K trigger xD

bro is weak is on his K game smh skill issue git gud scrub

[near furnace]

K doesn't kill friendly animals anymore tho

[uneven belfry]

Just bind it to your gaming mice extra buttons for best efficiency

Does anyone wanna join my server? It’s not dedicated but I might in the future

Anyone

[potent zephyr]

is there a way to chain commands in console

[glass eagle]

I swear if valheim ever gets workshop support I will personally kiss the developers, platonically ofc

[potent zephyr]

etc i wanna run

addstatus GP_TheElder
addstatus meadStrength
addstatus rested
addstatus tasty

and if I could have that on ctrl+v in one line that would be perfect

[azure yacht]

Can't see the purpose of it.

[azure yacht]

no

Just press "up" key to select last command and replace last part

[potent zephyr]

thats what ive been doing so far

[fallen peak]

No one wants to join?

[chrome badge]

You could always try binding all those commands to one button

[glass eagle]

Mods?

[azure yacht]

For steam only

[glass eagle]

Still

Can't really mod console (from my knowledge)

[fallen peak]

Well if anyone wants to play on my server feel free to dm me

[chrome badge]

Fair point, but it's also fair that development for one platform alone wouldn't be worth the effort.

[azure yacht]

Certainly not from workshop

And it is: Mod.io

[glad idol]

Anyone able to join and help me get my stuff back?

[potent zephyr]

how can I do that?

Btw im on geforce now so i cant edit game files

Hit this group up
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[chrome badge]

there's a bind command in the console you can use to assign a key to each of those addstatus commands.

[potent zephyr]

ahhhh okay thank you i'll try this tomorrow

[nimble moss]

wait - what? really?

[chrome badge]

Yeah, in theory you could bind multiple commands to 1 key/button, though I've never tried it

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

[harsh rain]

unfortunately no response

[tacit crystal]

Gotta be patient. It's Monday and during this time most of EU is at work and US is still mostly sleeping.

[harsh rain]

guess im doing solo for now

[exotic cradle]

solo is better

[tacit crystal]

Nothing wrong with solo, it's fun that way but I understand "the more the merrier" aspect.

I think both are fun. Coop is especially fun with close friends.

[exotic cradle]

but the problem remains, obtain friends

[robust token]

Go to #1024264966712340510 and let people know you play solo and would like to have friends to play with, or chill in VC whenever you play.

[opal prairie]

Coop is fun If the friends stay close when going into dangerous situations instead of playing with close friends who are far away.

[robust token]

That's my go-to whenever I feel lonely

[tacit crystal]

In our group we usually had some individual tasks, like one of us liked farming a lot, one was more of a builder (me), one hunted/foraged etc. but then things we did together like exploration, boss fights, raiding dungeons/Fuling villages.

Probably have to lure our group back once Deep North is there. 🥲

[ember kraken]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of different preferences. I've played with people that:

• Refused to play unless we where basically within line of sight at all times, do everything together.
• Do combat and exploration together, build and farm separately
• Impossible to keep up with as they run around and do everything solo

Got to say I've gotten annoyed with all of them at various times. So I don't think there's a "best way".

i want to play a fresh start and re-explore valheim

[halcyon depot]

Friends are overrated :p

Anyway just got "There is a smell of sulfur in the air" and cleared it but the question is is this normal since i havent yet kill Modor( progress wise)

[shy marlin]

Have you killed bonemass

[halcyon depot]

I was thinking you get only attacks from biomes that you found... ye i killed Bonemass

Oh right they are from swamp ...

silly me

[shy marlin]

Yup there ya go 😂

[opal prairie]

If you killed bonemass and something in your world killed a surtling that raid can happen.

[halcyon depot]

ye i was conecting them to Ashlands ..

[opal prairie]

They were the only inhabitants for a while.

[keen trench]

true, Bonemass unlocks that, but if you're not playing ptb watch out, there's a bug that triggers mob-related raids even if boss progression condition isn't met (i mean beware in case you visit other pre-Elder or pre-Bonemass worlds)

[rain flare]

Objective:
Aquire friends
Difficulty level:
Impossible
😂

[nocturne wolf]

The solution is simple, build your base near a neck pond

[fiery jacinth]

hello, fellow vikings

[halcyon depot]

sorry ... PTB ? Im playing base game .. no mods ... first playtrough .. need to get a hold on all the abbreviations 🙂

[keen trench]

right sry, so first, if you play "classic-default" yes, you have to beware of that bug

that bug has been fixed, but in a patch that hasn't been published yet, p.t.b. is "public test branch", where newest patches are open to test for players before they are fine-tuned and officially implemented

[halcyon depot]

Oh cool so same as PTR .. i get it ..thnx for clearing up

[sour temple]

no one is recruiting

[merry pebble]

I see at least 7 posts that do and are less than 24 Hours old 🤔

[raven heron]

Im so motivated to build a mountaintop castle in my world rn. Found a perfect plateau on the mountain in my world and it needs a castle.

[tiny tiger]

I hope you have no build cost on or already have black metal chests worth of stone ready because it’s a huge undertaking lol

I’ve taken a backseat to working on my castle while I get more portals to various plains for rocks

[regal spoke]

Thousand's of stone

[raven heron]

Just need a portal and a plains worthy of sacrifice lol

I built a couple mid sized stone bases before im sure i can handle one huge castle lol

Need to look up some vids for inspiration and actually plan it out

[tiny tiger]

I think one of the biggest lies I see online for this game is that skeletons can’t reach you from the entrance of a burial chamber, but every time without fail on my worlds they go to the left side and just run up

[merry pebble]

Well it used to be that way 🙂 it was fixed after a pretty long while when it indeed worked like that.

[rain flare]

LoL Blobi 🤭

[tiny tiger]

I see comments even now propagating online, watching this dude play and a comment from 4 months ago mentions it

Did they fix it before or after mistlands ?

[twilit saddle]

how want's play valheim with me

[merry pebble]

I think after? But quite possibly before ashlands. Not quite sure tho.

[merry pebble]

You can find plenty of people looking to play with others in #1024264966712340510 😄

Do you have any tags at the top selected? And do you have them by activity and not date?

[twilit saddle]

[elder hearth]

Is the Switch 2 spec (to be confirmed) able to run Valheim?

[twilit saddle]

everybody is quiet

no one is in the group invite's

[merry pebble]

You will have to wait a bit 😄 not everyone is in the same timezone or online at the same time.

[twilit saddle]

true

but same time i cant wait forever o think faster is to try greate my own one

[merry pebble]

Sure, go for it 😄

[fleet nova]

Hey there. does anyone know of any good modpacks that work well with multiplayer 4-5 people?

[gray roost]

Is it possible for me to buy a dedicated server and transfer over all our world progress to the dedicated server?

Got a server of over a 100 people playing valheim in my discord, and people are rotating in and out but they have to wait for me to be on rn

[merry pebble]

Try #mods-discussion 😄 folks there will most likely know

[hidden gorge]

#dedicated-server

[strange arrow]

can't give a definite answer but can give a quick one, i think it's possible by transferring the world files (.db and .fwl)

make sure to backup first though in any case

[gray roost]

Do I do that in my files on my pc or is this a game file management?

I’m new to PC from console just got a set up so I’m learning how to use windows and edit/mod games

[strange arrow]

assuming yr worlds are stored locally and not in the cloud, it's just a case of navigating to the world files folder

typically C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds

[balmy willow]

hey chat, how do i convince my friend who only plays roblox games to buy this game?

[strange arrow]

otherwise if they are cloud saves you'll have to go in game to manage saves, then move them to local and back to create those files

[twilit saddle]

say him something that roblox player understand's

[twilit saddle]

do you know how to build in roblox? because if you know you can build valheim in roblox and show him what it is like

[balmy willow]

I've tried comparing it to one of his roblox games, but he still won't get it

not even the building lmao

[twilit saddle]

best way is build something about valheim in roblox liek troll or oen of the bosses

[balmy willow]

I'll give it a shot, thx

[twilit saddle]

ok

[exotic cradle]

Wait for him to grow up a bit

[regal spoke]

That may be the accurate truth

[rugged bridge]

Convert him into a minecraft kid then tell him valheim is a modernized version of it (including the tendency to make your blood boil upon death)

[split citrus]

what can i do to prevent cold damage at mountain

[pliant radish]

Heat or frost meads

Or new capes

[split citrus]

does only the cape help?

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need a cape made with materials from mountains or later biomes

[split citrus]

i havethe troll hood, tunic, and trousers and they doesnt help

[nocturne wolf]

Have you been to swamps? Swamps are the third biome, mountains come after.

[split citrus]

yes

why?

[split citrus]

how do i get materials from mountain when i keep on getting killed my cold

[nocturne wolf]

You can make frost resistance mead

[wary bane]

frost res mead can be made with swamp materials, you can also spam campfires everywhere

[regal spoke]

C.A.M.P.F.I.R.E 🎶

[split citrus]

does shelter protect agains cold?

[merry pebble]

Only if there is fire i think, but you can try it, btw, why dont you make the mead?

[light moat]

Got a 2 star wolf on my first night, got it all the way back to base and in the wolf ranch

[pliant hatch]

Don't feed it too much feed or you will end up as TooMuchWolff

[regal spoke]

Sounds like a hairy situation

[jolly bison]

hello chat, been a minute
but what do I offer bonemass again?

[pliant hatch]

Bones. 10 Withered to be precise

[jolly bison]

I'm guessing I need tons of poison res pots as well?

[jolly bison]

10?! that's a lot. I've only found a couple

wait do I need to be full iron to fight this thing

[pliant hatch]

You got more than enough of those when you have looted a few sunken crypts.
And you will have to loot a few sunken crypts, because Iron is basically the main metal for the rest of the game.

[jolly bison]

rest of the game? oh

i thought blackmetal or something

[vocal rivet]

Black metal is used surprisingly little

[tacit crystal]

Depending how much you are into building too.

[pliant hatch]

I dunno about "tons", but a stack of 10 will be more than enough.
Can use the Root Harnask for some protection - doesn't stack with the pots - against poison when the pot timer runs out.
The other poison dealing monsters can be dealt with quite easily.
Leeches are easily killed with ranged weapons or slamming a 2 handed hammer on the shore.
Blobs are splattered all over the place when you use a 2-handed weapon or even a bronze mace.

In general, get an iron pickaxe, an iron version of your favorite weapon, an iron mace - also useful in the next biome - and an iron buckler or shield.
For armor the Root Armor will do well enough, even lvl 4 troll armor is good, but you will need to time your defences well.

You can cheese Bonemass while standing on a crypt or an indestructable tree and hit him from there.
You can also cheese the fight by using the hoe and level most of the watered area high enough so you can move over dry land.

[ancient agate]

Do any of the resources pinned here have the radius of spawn prevention listed with the items that prevent spawns? I know that the vast majority are 20m, but I am curious about the rest. I know I've seen a YouTube short from EmmaTpotato about test results for spawn prevention distances, but I find lists more handy and was curious if anyone here had similar testing results

[regal spoke]

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

[ancient agate]

Thanks

[jolly bison]

thanks a lot, saved this
also what does "you are being hunted" mean?

i might die, im sneaking through plains to get to my boat

that was close my boat almost broke and im seeing a lot of fog for some reason

[pliant hatch]

"You are being hunted" is an event you get after killing Bonemass and usually is exactly what it says. It may also give you pelts, meat and trophies of the things that hunt you.

[nimble moss]

Pro tip; use it to your advantage. Place a campfire on the left side, and they run over it, causing them to take fire Dmg.

You then walk off the ledge onto the main area, so they turn around and run back.

You then jump back onto ledge.

Repeat until mobs dead.

[pliant hatch]

It used to be like that, but it got changed because players could cheese the skellies by luring them to the entrance and kill them with 2-handed hammers or a bow, without getting hit themselves.

[tacit crystal]

Hmm. Gonna think of some other challenge for new run maybe. 2 handed weapons only, no bows?

2 handed would include atgeirs, sledges, battleaxes and 2 handed swords.

[ember kraken]

I thought you said to challenge yourself :p 2handers is my first pick for harder difficulties. (With bow though)

[tacit crystal]

Maybe only limiting spears for ranged attacks but no bows otherwise.

Or using harpoon to bring things closer.

[jolly bison]

it literally takes me 20 mins to get back home via sailing XD

went through some foggy place, saw a literal gaint balloon thing flying and legged it the other way

[vocal rivet]

Sounds like you found Mistlands.

[jolly bison]

Yep, I was just trying to find my way to one of the quest locations

[vocal rivet]

Didn't you just do Bonemass?

[jolly bison]

yes, a little while ago but they're really close so I thought I could take care of it on the way home

[vocal rivet]

That's 3 biomes ahead of where you are currently.

[jolly bison]

Jeez okay, no idea why the cloth vendor's quest is that far away

[vocal rivet]

Well, she has 3 quests in 3 different biomes that you are intended to get as you go along.

[jolly bison]

smouldering tombs is what I was aiming at

[tacit crystal]

They sometimes can be found that far away, depending on the seed. The furthest Smouldering tomb I've seen in my world was near Ashlands border.

[grand wolf]

My friend and I called those things "poofy boys" 😄

[jolly bison]

Wow, giving a beginner a seed like this is unfair

[vocal rivet]

That's why you get more than one of everything.

[jolly bison]

I'll farm swamp till I'm fully ironed up but do I go to mountains now?

[light moat]

Yep!

[jolly bison]

Does iron armour save me from freezing? also the last time I was up on the mountains I didn't get ambushed by any enemies like in plains, I was expecting things like yetis but nothing

is it actually peaceful up there

[pliant hatch]

Iron armor doesn't. But there are some pieces using wolf fur that do.

[light moat]

Check out your mead kettil for some useful tools for the mountains 🏔️

[jolly bison]

gotcha

[tacit crystal]

Some craftable stuff in mountains will help against cold.

[novel turtle]

That fact that I can't shoot a bow and ride a askvin at the same time sucks

[rancid echo]

Hello! Why does the black forrest appear darker and lighter on some areas on the mini map? And in the world viewer as well? Is it like the meadow forest where it's actually 2 biomes in one?

It's pretty consistent and there looks to be some noise patters, but I don't see any difference in the biome itself

[nocturne wolf]

Meadows forest is not two biomes in one??
The different colours of biomes on the map are just there to make the map look more detailed.

[rancid echo]

Thank you!

[pliant hatch]

Mate, I dunno what your problem is, but you may want to stop tagging members here.

[exotic cradle]

Already did report.
Although I had hoped to solve things peacefully first.

But one can always hope, as there's always hope. (as some pointy ear pointed out at some point) [Hmmm I wonder how that sounds when trying to say that very fast]

[nocturne wolf]

"Peace was never an option."

[wet night]

do i get experience for each enemy that has been hit or by every attack that i make no matter at how many targets it land?

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, I'm not a masochist.

[shy marlin]

cmon it's fun

you literally cannot gain hp until you get some bronze

[tacit crystal]

Hmmm. I'm usually up to deathless challenges like my previous ones. No food would conflict that too much. 👀

[shy marlin]

Word

[nocturne wolf]

How about purposely missing one (or more?) cauldron upgrade so you have to use low-tier food?

[shy marlin]

problem with that is that you can easily skip that with the food prep station

but you could just ban food prep station too ig

[nocturne wolf]

Or use the tier the food needed before being moved

[shy marlin]

Is no armor (no staff of prot too) too masochistic for your taste?

[tacit crystal]

I have definitely been comfortable without protection staff (I used no magic in my previous runs), but armor? Hmm, don't know.

Maybe light armor only?

[shy marlin]

root harnesk 🤷‍♂️

[tacit crystal]

Or armor that don't decrease movement speed.

[regal spoke]

Troll armor ftw

[tacit crystal]

But no helmet decrease movement speed tho.

[foggy belfry]

what about actively picking ineffective armor for that specific biome?

like if you're in the mountains you can't have anything that provides warmth

[inland wraith]

gotr a workbench 5, dv_extractor and mats, but cant craft sap extractor.
what am i missing

[foggy belfry]

or in the ashlands you gotta be as flammable as possible

[tacit crystal]

Hammer.

[nocturne wolf]

Using the setkey command to disable skill gain a level 0 challenge would be possible

[inland wraith]

yikes, haha. Thank you

[foggy belfry]

no boats?

[nimble moss]

My speed runs involve having no cauldron and no food prep.

Only think is iron cooking stand.

I go from Deer Meat to Vulture meat 🙂

[shy marlin]

surely you can snag hare meat

[nimble moss]

Not when you skip and go to Ashlands first 🙂

[shy marlin]

true dat

[nimble moss]

But I do try to snipe a few rabbits when possible. Main issue is fine bow has 1 degree variance, so hitting rabbits is a bit of luck (and my poor skill, but I choose to ignore that)

[nocturne wolf]

🎰

[nimble moss]

Or when I do finally hit them, apparently it’s over a water well hole that their items slip away forever…

On one of my recent runs I ended up throwing ooze bombs around in the mist to get a few, since I got angry at myself for missing so many…

[tacit crystal]

So feather cape.

[foggy belfry]

Yeag and some useless armor that makes it worse to be there

No set bonus, random parts etc

Or spin a wheel to choose the next biome to go through

Anything with randomization tbh

[tacit crystal]

So basically: 🎰

[rotund parrot]

no map no portal is something worth a try

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, maybe some time, but probably not yet.

[shy marlin]

no map no portal isn't a challenge it's just a time lengthener

[inland wraith]

ngl, without portals i wouldnt spend as much time on my base as i do now

[light moat]

I feel like no map requires some skill 🤔

But yeah, no portal mode is definitely a time lengthener

[shy marlin]

idk was really easy for me but i grew up a boy scout so a bunch of it was just intuitive

[tacit crystal]

No map would be torturous since I couldn't get to mark all the berry bushes I find. 🥲

[inland wraith]

Maybe, but I feel it's more like "the old times" when we didn't have any devices that guide us, but remembered every corner and bus schedule. At some point it's just normal to know your environment

[light moat]

Oh for sure, it’s definitely a hyper immersive way to play I think.

[light moat]

Speaking of berry bushes, @shy marlin I ended up planting that raspberry bush, we’ll see how it goes
