valheim-chat

[nocturne wolf]

The devs haven't shown much, but we know there will be seals

[near furnace]

seems atleast 2 heavy weight community users don't want Valheim 2

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim 2 would mean Necks 2 but necks are already perfect so it's not possible

[near furnace]

True

no valheim 2

[merry pebble]

I do not believe they would not want that, more like disagreeing thats what will come next 🙂

[near furnace]

can't make perfection like valheim 1

[merry pebble]

You literally did tho xD

[near furnace]

valheim 1 = perfection
valheim 2= utterly bad no one wants

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim 2 it has horses and bears and armor slots!!

[near furnace]

eew

abort abort abort

[cerulean osprey]

Ok just watched a video where a tick was on a player and the tick went through a portal on the back of the player

[near furnace]

yes. they tend to do that

[nocturne wolf]

That's because the tick is attached to the player. The tick didn't directly use the portal.

[near furnace]

there is actually a movie called "the fly" where a main character makes a teleporter

but he once teleports with a living fly in the teleporter.............

it's a horrible horror movie with alot of goo and gruelsome stuff

but it's accurate

[cerulean osprey]

lol yeah never cared for the movie. Kinda showing our age now

[merry pebble]

Ooooh, i think i saw few references to that xD

[nocturne wolf]

Now I need to know how to bring a neck with me through a portal

[merry pebble]

Get him to bite you and stay there 😄

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-mosca-simpsons-gif-13300083

even simpsons made a reference 😉

[kind pendant]

Hey gjall

[ember kraken]

Now I'm getting horrible visions of squitos + vikings + portals.

[serene talon]

wait until they add a deathsquito raid

(no worries it will never happen)

[ember kraken]

Hah I'd be fine with that.

[shy marlin]

[fallen peak]

Is anyone available to help me get my stuff back

[tacit crystal]

I checked /stats from my bow challenge character. Over 19k arrows were shot in that run.

[sullen sorrel]

Hello everyone, in your opinion, what is the best website to host a dedicated server for Valheim? Do you know any good hosting providers?

Currently, I’m using Survival Servers. Maybe you know a better host?

and cheaper

[tacit crystal]

You might want to ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[sullen sorrel]

Thanks you !

[slender rover]

question - does the save function in the menu work to save the player character file when you are on a multiplayer server world hosted by someone else?

[wide kestrel]

I have noone else to share it with, so I will share it with you guts. I have a 2nd character that plays on default with all this "non-teleportation bs" so all achievements are far more rewarding. I just entered my first plain fuling camp and obviously - 2 star Berserker charged at me after a missed shot with a wave of fellas. With a 200 IQ move I ran into the mountains and "asked" drakes for help. I took out all ranged fulings and let drakes do the rest. So proud of this idea 😄

[glad schooner]

sweet, i did not know about the /stats thing

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it gives very large info about your character: deaths, kills, arrows shot, etc. and you can scroll that info with PgUp and PgDn buttons.

[upbeat crypt]

when looking for Hildir, when you see Draugr Villages, you'Re far enough from the center?

[tacit crystal]

I think so, don't remember in which distance the villages start to appear.

[merry pebble]

I do think so, but not 100% since i dont remember how far from spawn they actually generate

[tacit crystal]

Like a hive mind @merry pebble 👀

[vocal rivet]

Hm, didn't think they were distance specific.

[shy marlin]

My rule of thumb is once I see plains and a meadows next to that plains it's valid hildir territory

[vocal rivet]

Hm, my bad. 2000m apparently. Which seems a lot.

[merry pebble]

Where did you find it btw? I checked wiki but didnt notice it anywhere?

[vocal rivet]

https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/blob/main/src/data/location/Meadows/WoodVillage1.ts for reference.

It's not in the Wiki as yet.

[merry pebble]

Yeah the whole draugr village page could get a little tidy up

[vocal rivet]

Heh, you're not kidding. That's a task and a half.

There are screenshots with the HUD in 😕

[merry pebble]

Didnt even notice taht xD

[vocal rivet]

I tell a lie, it's ALL of them.

[merry pebble]

Oh crap you are right XD
Will take a look at it later today or tommorow 🙂

-# at least i cant mess it up much xD
-# also at least the info box picture isnt with HUD 😄

[tacit crystal]

Oh yeah, it's always satisfying when finding early turnip seeds, now had 2 flowers in same place. 👌

[plush umbra]

what’s up guys i’m looking for a server to join if you need help beating bosses i just want some folks to play with and i have decent gear

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[rain tapir]

Guys is there a seed for hard+ I’m doing a coop with my friends

And trynna look for iron and swamps and sunken crypt

[vocal rivet]

You can use any seed to play hard mode.

[merry pebble]

You can try looking in #1202740443352137838 if you see any that you like tho

[rain tapir]

We’re already on a new seed like entirely and just playing but finding swaps are hard

[merry pebble]

Then why are you asking for a seed?

[rain tapir]

Like meaning the map outline and all

Or is every seed different?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes.

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure what the point would be otherwise.

[merry pebble]

If you want to see what a world with your seed looks like you can look at https://valheim-map.world/

[rain tapir]

Okay but for a swap what’s gears should I have and weapons I should use and I wanna beat the abomination too

[merry pebble]

For abominations slash dmg weapons will be best, so sword or axe

and otherwise anything that you used to kill elder will do fine

[eager totem]

Anyone got a server I can join

[nocturne wolf]

You can find some in #1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

people not really that active ngl

[vocal rivet]

It's the middle of the night, that's probably why.

[pliant hatch]

Or it's day or evening and they got other things to do.
After all, not everyone has 24 hours a day the time to play Valheim.

[shy marlin]

North america doesn't exist ig

[lunar sapphire]

And I’m in the middle of a double digit long power outage with limited data reception 😂

Ex cyclone Alfred decided to finally make landfall

[vocal rivet]

At least it's a lot less powerful than it was.

[lunar sapphire]

For sure!

[vocal rivet]

You see that, right?

[lunar sapphire]

Yep

[vocal rivet]

Can't see what else it would have been about.

[sturdy fjord]

deleted that i like valheim no wonder the discord is dead

[light moat]

Servers dead fellas, pack your bags 😭🧳

[shy marlin]

o7 it's been real

[nova verge]

https://youtube.com/shorts/cg2D1SeHxeI?si=5FGe6TtrvITX0g2k wait, what? Did they actually added catapult?

[shy marlin]

yup in the ashlands update

[nova verge]

Yay

[pliant hatch]

It's dead?

You mean I've been talking to a corpse for over a year now?

No wonder I keep noticing that terrible smell!

[snow rose]

Anyone wanna show me how to proceed into the mountains?

Keep dying to the cold

[sturdy fjord]

The answer you seek lies in howling wind.

or maybe some kinda soda pop

[nocturne wolf]

You need to progress through swamps first

[latent owl]

is there arab here ?

[snow rose]

I did

Already killed the boss

[nocturne wolf]

You should be able to craft frost resistance mead then

[snow rose]

Oh ok idk it was mead I thought it was a special type of clothing

[nocturne wolf]

You can make clothing with mountains materials

[vocal rivet]

You might find some like-minded folk in #1024264966712340510

[opaque gull]

@wide crest look at dm

[glass parrot]

If I revert to a save before a raid happened will that raid happen again at the same time as before?

[vocal rivet]

It might, then again, it might not.

[glass parrot]

Okay, thanks. I had to do it to save my one of only 2 boars that I have tamed right now that got assassinated by a skeleton

[robust token]

Rip, mine was killed by Drakes

[glass parrot]

Anyone know why the Valheim Map of a Seed Viewer isn’t showing the map right of my world?

[pliant hatch]

Can be a version difference.

Safest way to deal with that is to upload the required files to it.
The button can be found next to the bar where you need to put the seed.
Information as which files and where to find them is also there.

[untold sorrel]

hey there, do we have any info if valheim will release this year in t1 or t2 ?

[pliant hatch]

No, we don't.

[untold sorrel]

alright cool thanks

[vocal rivet]

T1?

[untold sorrel]

first half of the year

or second

[vocal rivet]

Oh, I'd put money on that not happening. Second half is doubtful but possible, I guess.

[plain cargo]

hello everyone, there is someone who speaks Russian.I'm looking for a skem to play Walhem, I downloaded it the other day

[untold sorrel]

really ? i thought they were just busy with the last lets call it expansion, or area and then the game is finished

[pliant hatch]

You may try to find someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[pliant hatch]

Yes, they're working at the last biome and yes, once that's done the game is considered "finished" as it'll be 1.0

But since the devs haven't given any clue about when they consider it finished, we can speculate, but that won't help anyone much.

You may get some more info about what to expect from #news message but even that doesn't give us any clue about the "when".

[untold sorrel]

the devs wanna take their time and polish the game thats cool, just checking every few months if theres a update, thanks for the info

[tacit crystal]

Usually there is a monthly dev blog about the process at the end of month that appears in #news message which Thorin linked here too.

[untold sorrel]

yeah i saw thanks

[fallen peak]

Does anyone wanna help me flatten out this pathway?

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 is the best place to look for help in your world.

[fallen peak]

Ok Ty

[echo crest]

Im alwats happy when we get a new PTB to try out. I like to try out even smaller technical fixes, not the next big release like Deep North. In fact better this way, otherwise Deep North will surely have much more problems at inital PTB launch

Progress ir progress, smaller one too. Oh and the technical stuff is sometimes big progress. Ive done software development, and sometimes a lot of work and design goes to stuff that the user of the software doesnt really "see". In fact most of it...

I couldnt care if they released PTB every week or so or more to test just few technical things... but perhaps that is not always necessarily, depends on the project.

[vocal rivet]

Releasing every week would be fairly useless and just start an unnatural development process where they try and have something to 'show' at the end of that week.

[echo crest]

That kind of thing would really be for the benefit of the developers almost entirey. And for some enthusiastic. Many software projects, especially open source, have nightly builds. Many widely used software too. I probably wouldnt use those, but I usually use development versions.

[vocal rivet]

Well, I imagine that happens, if necessary behind the scenes anyway. There would be nothing for us to test. The system we currently have works absolutely fine and has done for 3 years.

[echo crest]

Of course in that case people cant complain at all if they use such a builds. Like stable normal version is available, then little more fresh with functionality, then beta versions, then nightly builds. Depends on project if its worthwhile.

Not sure if many games do that :). Many software do that. Usually bigger software and ofthen they are open source.

Man i am getting tired havent really slept in two days too much

Interesting topic but im too tired to write any more... gotta sleep soon :/.

Agile projects often tend to write stuff first then iterate it to improve it. but im too tired for this. Hey maybe i should go back to IT field again... to software development. I loved it years ago.

Maybe i dream about it when i fall asleep and get inspired that way

[median ivy]

What's ya'lls preferred way to hunt Hares? I can't stand using a bow on them since they're so quick.

[hidden gorge]

fireballs

wooden spikes

ategir

[robust token]

Are ... What are those armors called again, those made with spools

Are they worth it for mistlands?

[hidden gorge]

padded? sure

[robust token]

Okie, back to swamp it is

[median ivy]

how would you get wooden spikes to work on the hares, they run in random directions for me

must i put down bait and surround the aforementioned bait with spikes?

[hidden gorge]

hares don't jump, mistland is filled with valleys -- place them literally almost anywhere and they will collect loot

you can narrow a choke with walls, and put spikes on the sides -- they likely will not run straight through the middle, so you can even leave that open for yourself

[robust token]

Can't you sneak up on them? Or their hearing is "lore accurate"?

As, they are bigger rabbits

[hidden gorge]

you can, which is why I mentioned ategir -- cause it has a large aoe that makes hitting them in melee easier

[robust token]

I see

[hidden gorge]

wooden spikes are nice cause they're passive, but tbh nothing beats the fireball

[robust token]

Hmm good to know

[median ivy]

i heard you can do full fenris armour set with the claws too since i'm guessing you can attack whilst running, could be wrong. but cause those hares are so fast, why not be faster?

but so far, i can't wait to be able to make other sets of food. having to gather like 20 hare meat isn't fun. i just recently was able to create salad, lovin the energy.

[robust token]

Maybe frost arrows? Since frost does something like stagger

[plush umbra]

they won't survive the first shot regardless of arrow type with their 10 lil HP. managing to hit a small, fast-moving target with an arrow in the first place is the real struggle 😅

[hidden gorge]

yeah if you're gonna use arrows, might as well make the cheap basic wooden ones

[robust token]

Oh they only have 10 HP?

[plush umbra]

yepp

[robust token]

Probably hunt them like deers

[chrome badge]

Once I cleared a large section of my Mistlands of mist using wisp torches, hunting hares became so so much easier, would recommend 👍

[shy marlin]

Run jump sledge is pretty effective at getting hares

Nothing beats embers tho

[mild garnet]

After beating the game with some friends decided to play solo on hard. This game rivals some of the larger names in the sandbox genre. Just spent maybe 2hours renovating a structure for a new base.

[tiny tiger]

Honestly I find the only lacking department in comparison to other sandbox games is short and medium length content online, or atleast YouTube is doing a terrible job showing me these videos exist, there’s millions of streams but I don’t really wanna watch a guy sit in a base for 15 mins because they haven’t organised their chests and can’t find that one item they need to craft something

There’s some very high quality 100 days content tho for sure

[wooden tapir]

true, ive watched almost every 100 days ive found. rly nice to watch and fall asleep too

[tacit crystal]

At the beginning ooze bombs are very useful. Later Ember staff.

[wide acorn]

Anyone know what the lore behind trolls is? cus on the trophy description it says "The leathery skin bears the faded tracery of ancient symbols." I find that pretty intresting as the other trophies but the boss ones are not that into depth

[merry pebble]

We have one runestone on them, but its basically saying that on Midgard they are no more/they werent seen in a long long time and in Valheim they thrive

[hybrid orbit]

Guys i think we got a problem... we got no reverse Grausten arch

or is it on mods?

[wide acorn]

I wonder why Odin wanted to create trolls xD

[merry pebble]

But he didnt create them...

[wide acorn]

But who created them?

[tacit crystal]

What came first, an egg or a troll?

[wide acorn]

egg

[merry pebble]

We dont know

[strange roost]

I'm trying out a blood slayer build with eiter. My food is mistlands feast, Ashlands feast, and health food. I'm running the flame mental armor currently. What would the best armor be for this set up?

[nocturne wolf]

If you are using eitr, use magic armor. The staff of protection is all you need to keep yourself alive.

[strange roost]

Yeah I was thinking that too but with only 65 eitr I would be primarily using the slayer and just the bubble or roots

So I haven't had regen issues

[tacit crystal]

It seems fine, if you only use the bubble. It benefits the bloodstone weapons for a while after casting the bubble.

[strange roost]

Thanks for the input

[tacit crystal]

I have had similar setup for foods and shield staff but I use flametal helmet, root harnesk and ask trousers for more movement speed and protection against most piercing damage.

[strange roost]

I might have to do that

[tacit crystal]

It's quite funny how swamp tier equipment can still be good at the end game. And it looks cool too.

But mountain tier weapons can also be good in Ashlands due to most silver weapons having extra spirit damage.

[strange roost]

Honestly. It makes mistlands so much easier. I also have been loving the new potions. The extra speed one being used always

[tacit crystal]

Ratatosk + Lightfoot for extra movement is very good indeed. 👌

[halcyon depot]

hey! managed to get the Hildirs chest to her and now she wants to trade with me ... is there anything usefull from her to get and if I find more boxes should i get them to her so her inventory exapands like new items and stuff? As it seems its all cosmetics for now...

[sacred tendon]

she only sells cosmetics if i remember correctly

it'll just give you more tunic and hat options

[nocturne wolf]

She can sell a clothing set that improves farming skill

[sacred tendon]

is that one unlocked through the thungr and zil chest? 🥲

[nocturne wolf]

I think it's Brenna

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, brass chest from Brenna.

Farming set is pretty good for farming. 👌

[sacred tendon]

ooh okok ty!

[tacit crystal]

@nocturne wolf you've ascended into yellow colored name (don't remember the role name in English lol) and changed your pfp.

Pretty cool that rotating Neck.

[merry pebble]

Yellow means server booster 😄

[tacit crystal]

Ah, booster it was! I have settings in my native so I forgot.

I mean I know the purpose of role but forgot the name in English.

[halcyon depot]

thats the one i delivered to her...

[tacit crystal]

That one unlocks fireworks and the most costly sets of clothes.

[halcyon depot]

so ... are other traders work like that .. doing something for them expands inventory or something ... cos i think i so last night on some video that he bought misterious egg and got chickens from Haldor if im not mistaking

[raven heron]

they let you get lots of useful items

[sacred tendon]

Haldor's is based on your progression, I believe you get the chicken eggs after you beat the Plains boss :)

[ember kraken]

Yeah. Haldror is (now) based on bosses killed.

[merry pebble]

Same with the Bog Witch

[halcyon depot]

he's next on my list soon as i find last totem ...

[sacred tendon]

Good luck!

[robust token]

Thankfully you only need to fight half of it

-# sorry bad joke

[nocturne wolf]

(now)? Hasn't he always had some items that require bosses? In the current version the thunder stone and ymir flesh require the elder to be killed, but this may have changed before I started playing.

[tacit crystal]

Imagine if you had to fight him as a whole person! Now he is only a half of a man he was...

[ember kraken]

In the past, before he got eggs, he just sold everything intially, aka ymir

[nocturne wolf]

He'd be crawling to reach you anyway because he is probably very tall

[robust token]

Thanks Odin on taking his other half

[merry pebble]

We have to also thank fulings for that one 😄 Odin tore him apart but they took the legs and made totems out of them

[robust token]

Oh, that's why you need those totems to summon it

[plush umbra]

Just got the game can someone drop me hoe later tonight (Xbox)?

[merry pebble]

Why dont you make it?

[plush umbra]

I can’t craft one I’m not sure what to do to unlock more things

[merry pebble]

Pick up stuff 🙂 wood, stone, berries, mushrooms...

[azure yacht]

Then I suggest just playing the game until you learn how

[plush umbra]

I made a bench bed the basics but I can’t find a plateau I found a premade bunk I “took over” but it’s at a mountain and my cloud is proving worthless

[ember kraken]

Try making a roof over the workbench

[wanton obsidian]

I have a question, did they ever fix the massive issue where the game becomes so laggy that it becomes unplayable?

I'm someone who likes to keep expanding the first home throughout the playtime. Means that at some point my home area becomes extremely laggy (under 20 fps). And it can't be my PC.

[ember kraken]

They've made performanec improvements. Including last patch. But still if you keep building, terraforming, adding more lights/fires etc, performance will drop on any computer/console. No matter what.

[halcyon depot]

i think you cant take another bed if you allrdy got your spawn point set on your main one

at least it wasnt giving it to me

[merry pebble]

When did you last play?

[wanton obsidian]

around half a year ago

[merry pebble]

You can, it will just switch your spawn point to the last one you set

[merry pebble]

Then yes, performance improovements have been made, but if you make bases that have tens of thousands of instnaces you will still lag no matter what 🙂

[halcyon depot]

hmm then i was doing something wrong since it was in fixed up house (i repaired it ) but it wasnt giving me option to claim it

[merry pebble]

Oh you cant claim the generated beds, you have to make them yourself

[ember kraken]

If it was a pre placed bed, it doesn't work.

Gotta make your own bed (like your parents always told you!)

[wanton obsidian]

now that's quite a bummer

[merry pebble]

Not limiting how much you can build is a bummer? Would you be rather if the instances would have been capped at 15K or somewhere so majority of players couldnt get much lower than 30 fps?

[halcyon depot]

ok Yagluth has been delt with ... 🙂 fire ress my ass that potion 🙂

Frostner over Porkupine is it worth it ?

for Mistland

[nocturne wolf]

The frostner's frost damage will allow it to deal high damage to seekers but the porcupine will be better for dvergr, ticks and seeker soldiers and it has much higher stagger on the secondary attack. Bring both if you can

[halcyon depot]

ty

[tacit crystal]

In short: both are good.

[halcyon depot]

But tbh i know the game is EA but wouldnt it be etter or easyer for newcomers like me if there was some kind of storyline quest ... yes i know the point of the game is survival and exploration but if i wasnt watching gameplay on youtube i would have been clueless. Even now i dont know much more but still 😄

[merry pebble]

You are supposed to get more and more experienced by dying and trying again 🙂

[vocal rivet]

The story is pretty basic and linear so easy to follow. And Hugin fills in all the gaps.

[halcyon depot]

hmm but for example i killed Yagluth got his trophy and some kind of wisp thing ... Hugin's brother came and told me after the kill that Odin is watching me and thats it ... how the hell should i know what that wisp thing is doing. Dont get me wrong im not and dont try to argue just talking ... waiting for my pies to be done 😄

[merry pebble]

Make the thing with Yag drop, get the thing it lures, make what was unlocked, read what its description is 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Same as every other biome.

[azure yacht]

By this stage of the game this should be obvious

[azure ermine]

Question for the Devs: I've noticed on more than one occasion in the many hours of play in the game that not all textures are the same, some are way more detailed while others are just downright heavily pixellated. Will there be a full sweep over all the games content to unify the same quality of visial textures?

[pliant hatch]

Standard procedure when you get a new material:

Check your hammer, crafting stations and cooking stations if something new pops up.

[merry pebble]

Now now, some progression hints could be a bit clearer indeed. 😄

[halcyon depot]

just a tiny bit ... atm looking for that wisp light 😄

[azure yacht]

Like which ones?

[merry pebble]

I know about the forge hammer for example, i would also like if that was a bit reworked before 1.0 🙂

[azure ermine]

For instance the difference between the character (male and female) and the weapons they use, bows in particular where I notice a difference. Or in comparison with boars and hares. The chracters feel rather pixel heavy while the boars and hares have more shape and detail.

[swift frost]

So first time fighting the queen, searching and preparing now.
I was thinking to build a castle with turrets (10+) and just absolutely roast with dps
Im bout to get wrekt right?😆
Thoughts?

[azure yacht]

Models that were done in earliest stages

vs

Models that were done years after release

[shy marlin]

Wouldn't bother

[azure ermine]

Do note that I haven't been measuring the pixellation by the size of the pixels, but indeed the feel of it throughout the game. And yes I am aware that there are differences between earlier released content and later stages. Hence my question if there will be a moment where the complete game is looked at and visually reworked, a normalisation if you will.

[halcyon depot]

and is it so hard to make craftable items in alphabetical order 🙂 or put a little star next to new items untill you hover over it. i just resently found out i could have ooze bombs long time ago 😄

[merry pebble]

Tbh having some indication of the new items the first time you visit a crafting station after unlocking them would be pretty good suggestion 🙂 you could put it in #suggestions

[halcyon depot]

when you discover something new if its just 1 item its ok and more less easy but if you got a lot ... only Odin can help you

[robust token]

There are probably mods to do the sorting

[azure yacht]

We have no way to know

[swift frost]

Where's BaldrO

[fiery jacinth]

In hindsight, now that I'm playing through them again

I actually enjoy the Mistlands a lot, both visually and thematically

it's just a shame the torches don't reach that far

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands is still my favorite biome.

[fiery jacinth]

Yee, the biome is just beautiful and I actually do enjoy the mist mechanic

the only thing I would personally adjust would be to work a little bit on the Wisp itself. Because if you run forward, it's very easy to not see where you're going

[nocturne wolf]

The wisp tries to move ahead of you

[fiery jacinth]

ye I know. just if you run fast enough, the wisp doesn't always manage to catch up

[wanton obsidian]

Yes it is a bummer.

Limit it on hardware and not artificially.

[merry pebble]

It is limited by hardware tho 😄 when you start getting only slideshows of your base you found limit of your hardware

Its basically the only limit you have in building

[vocal rivet]

There's not an artificial limit.

[wanton obsidian]

It isn't, it is an artificial limit, because my hardware is not getting to its limit.

GPU is sitting at around 60%

[vocal rivet]

No it isn't. The game will work as hard as you make it until it grinds to a halt.

[wanton obsidian]

and cpu at around 4

what ive read is that it could also be a hardcoded limit on the side of the unity engine.

[vocal rivet]

No limit. You can build as big as you want.

[wanton obsidian]

A limit as in where the engine is becoming the bottleneck.

Cause it cannot be my hardware, that i can ensure you

[vocal rivet]

Ok.

[wanton obsidian]

I have a 9 9750x3d, 64gigs 6000mhz RAM, pcie5 m.2 ssd and a 4090.

If I see a game like valheim struggling to hit more than 20fps after building a bunch of stuff, then I am quite certain that the engine is infact at its limit

[merry pebble]

With how many thousands instnaces? 🙂

[fiery jacinth]

ngl I love mage gameplay in this game but does anyone else feel that the staff of protection might be slightly overtuned?

[vocal rivet]

You are not alone.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, it shines even brighter in group gameplay too. I do feel like it's a decent answer to how some people feel Very Hard difficulty doesn't offer enough protection from armor/block/parry stats though. In those cases it's in a good state imo.

[regal spoke]

I wonder how many prefer very hard? I think hard is the sweet spot.

[merry pebble]

I prefer normal 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I've never played above normal

[cosmic igloo]

prolly not a lot

[median ivy]

How

[fiery jacinth]

because the shield is extremely strong. It's very easy to not die as a mage because you can keep kiting and if something does hit you, the shield is there to protect you

[cosmic igloo]

staff of prot one of the most OP weaps in thee game

[shy marlin]

very very few

[sharp bluff]

scratch the "one of" tbh

[swift frost]

yall i had to share this amazing fail
https://youtu.be/TNVNPx7GsS0?si=y8dcT8D-qdWtYaeI

[cosmic igloo]

imo vine staff most op

[sharp bluff]

also quite a monster that one

[signal bloom]

Wow i just realized the ash staves essentially use powers from elder and yagluth (vines + meteors)

[merry pebble]

Eh... The metor one doesent fit that well tbh 😄

[fiery jacinth]

vine staff is pretty strong, ye

I lowkey wish we wouldn't have to wait til mistlands to use magic, even if it makes sense lorewise I suppose

[tacit crystal]

I think it might be lorewise difficult to adapt magic in earlier biomes. And it would need lots of balancing during the first 5 biomes because it is strong playstyle even with zero skill levels.

Or, maybe not lorewise but still, would require lots of balancing.

[fiery jacinth]

oh ye for sure. but I do think some weapons could already be crafted earlier

like greatswords and fist weapons

we'll see what they'll do tho. afaik they wanted to launch another update before deep north, is that right?

[merry pebble]

I am kinda fine with fist weapons starting in mountains, but there could be more of them 🙂

[fiery jacinth]

Yee, that too. There's also no greataxes past mountains anymore

[smoky quarry]

I love the optimizations in game. Everything works much better vs 1y ago. My pre-Fields world works great still.

The lighting fx much better now in town all stable fps. Wp

[rain flare]

Crystal battleaxe is completely viable even in Ashlands
Crystal axe = best axe!
(It just can’t cut wood from Yggdrasil, but never mind! 😂🤭)

[sharp bluff]

ashlands not having an atgeir kinda sucks
mountains also feels bad but meh

[merry pebble]

Why? The iron atgeir rocks in plains still, you can stagger anything non star in one hit there

[earnest field]

Hi do you guys had any pb with riding and moving with a tamed lox ? I tamed a 4 star lox but i can barely walk with him...

[sharp bluff]

yeah, it works which is why its meh
not having an ashlands one will suck while progressing trough the north tho

[merry pebble]

Why would it? Atgeirs hold their own even 2 biomes after you get certain one, as i just said

Not to mention that himminafl has lightning dmg that also counts towards stagger

[sharp bluff]

non-stars are lowkey never the issue

[merry pebble]

Not with atgeirs, since it doesent really matter if you get swarmed 🙂

[sharp bluff]

even with other weapons tbh

its the starred ones which prevent you from thinning the herd

[merry pebble]

But atgeirs make it extra easy 🙂

[sharp bluff]

true, thats why i love them^^

[merry pebble]

The starred enemies i was talking about earlier were berserkers 🙂 normal starred fulings were staggered in 1 hit too, so if you will be carefull about brute and troll lvl enemies you should be fine 😄

[sharp bluff]

again, in the plains that was the case
it may very well not be the case in the north

each biome has higher tresholds relative to old gear than the one before it

[merry pebble]

True true

[earnest patrol]

Im lookingi for a squad

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[halcyon depot]

how about no mist in mistlands or a bit less of it 😛

[vocal rivet]

So just.. lands?

[halcyon depot]

exactly 😛 with mist from time to time

[vocal rivet]

There are mods available for people who don't want to play the game.

[halcyon depot]

nah its not that but i feel like mist boss by it self 🙂

[smoky quarry]

You dont need to see when you can hear everything

[rare haven]

what is the difference between the harverster dress and tunic?

is there any stat difference or is it purely aesthetic?

[tacit crystal]

No difference in stats.

[merry pebble]

None really, just esthetic

[rare haven]

ok ty guys

[median ivy]

Having a hard time making my own raised platform -- ground doesn't flatten completely and I know about the whole "using the flatten tool will flatten anything equivalent to what's under your character's feet". When I use it, it doesn't raise or erode, it just stays there.

[merry pebble]

You might have reached the limit, you can only move the ground 8m up or down from its original level

[median ivy]

I wish I could send an image but the ground I'm trying to raise is higher than the one I'm trying to do. The ground is steeper

[mild garnet]

Is there a way to make the game brighter?

[merry pebble]

We can go to #valheim-help where you can post pictures or you can post it to #screenshots 🙂

[mild garnet]

Cause recently whenever it becomes night everything becomes black. Like I cannot see trees or anything on the ground and end up dying because Im stuck on something I can't see.

[nocturne wolf]

There is no in game brightness setting. All you can do right now is use a torch/other light source or sleep

[mild garnet]

Great...

So nighttime in the wilderness is just unplayable then?

[nocturne wolf]

No, as I just said you can use a light

[mild garnet]

As I just said the wilderness.

[nocturne wolf]

You can hold a torch or equip certain items

[mild garnet]

Not near a crafting table and dealing with enemies.

[nocturne wolf]

You can craft a torch anywhere

[mild garnet]

Dealing with enemies... I can't hold a torch and a bow.

[nocturne wolf]

At night you are cold and enemy spawns are more powerful and frequent. You should be sleeping every day

[cosmic igloo]

def something wrong. shouldnt be that dark

[mild garnet]

Exactly

Like theirs dark and then theirs the entire ground literally being black.

Any bush, stump, fallen log. All of it is one color durring the night.

[signal bloom]

I second this sentiment haha

Then when you get to ashlands it's like: https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-advanced-darkness-darkness-gif-23690793

[mild garnet]

YES

In other areas if your in a clearing you can kinda see

[vocal rivet]

Everything is on fire. Ashlands, if anything, is too bright.

[mild garnet]

But in the ashlands nighttime is just lava and black.

[mild garnet]

Not for me. Its pitch black durring the night. All I cann see is kava and black. No shapes. No outlines of rocks or anything. Just lava and black.

Yes yes, sleep. But it shouldn't be this dark.

[vocal rivet]

Are you using mods?

[signal bloom]

Tbh i kinda like it since it adds to the variety

[mild garnet]

Nope

[signal bloom]

Some nights are clear.. sometimes its just completely pitch black

[mild garnet]

Not for me. I just ran through a black forest virtualy blind.

It becomes literally unplayable.

[signal bloom]

Is that every night or just most?

[mild garnet]

Most. Some nights if the moons out just right I can see.... then I enter a swamp where it rains and clouds cover the moon.

Water is my only help in the swamp bc its reflective texture stands out.

[signal bloom]

For swamp headlamp is a must at night for me, complete game changer honestly

[nocturne wolf]

Once you have reached mistlands a wisplight can help

[mild garnet]

Yeah I may just start carying that around.

[signal bloom]

For obvious reasons i cant really headlamp ashlands so i usually just mistlight it and im good. I dont venture into unknown territory in ashlands at night though

[mild garnet]

I know.

[mild garnet]

Though I already only have like 10 free inventory slots

They need to add a backpack or something. There just aren't enough slots imo.

Or maybe armor slots or something.

[ember kraken]

Some biomes are just darker than others. I find BF and Swamp very dark at night. Somewhat dependent upon where you are. They didn't name it Black Forest for nothing -_-'

[mild garnet]

It is literally a black forest tho.

[ember kraken]

I haven't felt that I've been completely blind though.

[mild garnet]

I have... I can see the top of the trees if I look up. Next night Ill take a screenshot.

[ember kraken]

That said, I don't remember nights in mistlands or ashlands right now. So I don't remember how nights felt there to me.

But Meadows, Mountain and Plains generally been pretty visible at night for me at least.

[signal bloom]

Take the dive, trust me. It reduces a lot of headache and doesnt feel OP.

[ember kraken]

But yeah, I'm addicted to the Dwarf LED light, and always like to carry the wisp with me.

[mild garnet]

Why do Abominations just sometimes decide to start walking away?

[ember kraken]

Most of the times they do that to me, I think they struggle to find a proper path to get to me.

[mild garnet]

Its just like "You're too Squirly ima head out"

[ember kraken]

I certainly notice they do that more often if I jump on top of something they can't reach, and try to shoot or aoe them. They often walk away and go lie down in the water (as if to say screw you fire arrows!)

[merry pebble]

More "Cant be bothered to go through all that stuff thats in the way"

[mild garnet]

Oh yeah they love just walking into the ocean for some reason

[signal bloom]

I like when the ||ash warriors|| give up reminds me of that spongebob meme of him getting outta the seat for some reason

[mild garnet]

Oh yeah. Though I think thats because they spawn durring nightime so when it hits day they walk away I think.

[signal bloom]

I Like to think its cause they're scared and just saw me lay the smack down on their friends 🤣

[mild garnet]

Whats with the reactions to this?

[signal bloom]

A rebuttal to 1st reaction in reaction form

😉

[mild garnet]

Do people really hate Valheim mods?

[signal bloom]

Not really, a lot of people love them. Play the game that makes it the most fun

[merry pebble]

They are simply unnecessary 🙂

And yes it is a wrong channel 😉

[mild garnet]

Not really... if its part of discussion its not wrong channel.

[signal bloom]

Okay show me where is says do not dicusss mods then, I'll wait.

[mild garnet]

Thats just wrong.

Games are meant for enjoyment if modifying a game makes it more enjoyable it is not unnecessary

[nocturne wolf]

They are unnecessary, you don't need mods

[merry pebble]

Fricking hell, Smiffe should have really put "Not for mods" in all non mod channels.. And i wanted to believe people are not stupid...

[mild garnet]

... you don't need games...

Games are a want not a need

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, games are unnecessary too, that doesn't mean there's a problem with them

[mild garnet]

Exactly.

[signal slate]

@nocturne wolfWhen the devs make a change to the game, is that unnessescary too?

[mild garnet]

Do yall not know how conversations work? Like if its part of the convo and not going too in depth its not the wrong channel.

Like if Im talking about how dark my game is and the convo moves to how glare causes it thats now a convo that has nothing to do with valheim... but its not in the wrong channel...

[mild garnet]

So mods then aren't a problem.

[merry pebble]

Who said they are?

[mild garnet]

This makes it seem as if they are a negative.

[signal bloom]

I'm stupid for not abiding by a rule in your head? Okay.

If mods cannot be discussed in any other channel the sensible thing would be to put it in #rules-and-info or #faq

[merry pebble]

It really doesent, they are not needed, i didnt say they are bad (tho that is debatable with all the issues they are causing...)

[signal bloom]

Also you're in violation of rule #1 based on your behavior.

[mild garnet]

where can I put screenshots?

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots

[merry pebble]

Vanilla #screenshots moded #mods-screenshots

[mild garnet]

Theres that

A bit of glare from the window makes it even darker

[merry pebble]

Doesent seem particilarly dark 🤔

[mild garnet]

The ground is. Can't see any of the logs or bushes.

Try running away from a troll in that and get stuck on something I can't see.

[mild garnet]

It is.

[merry pebble]

Maybe its just the glare from sun? The screenshot really looks fine

[mild garnet]

Even on my phone you can't see the rock and bush in front of me...

[signal bloom]

Perhaps this is why its called the black forest 😛

[mild garnet]

Can you see the rock and bush on the left in front of me?

[merry pebble]

Not really, quite pixelated, but i can see the one behind totaly fine

[ember kraken]

That feels about normal for BF at night.

[mild garnet]

Yes it is normal. But it shouldn't be.

Ive died countless times to a bush or rock that I just can't see.

[vocal rivet]

He really, really should. The rest should not come as a surprise though.

[ember kraken]

I can make out enough to see most rocks and bushes in that. I still get caught up in some, but I can navigate it.

[mild garnet]

Or the stumps. Those are the worst as you get caught on it and can't move.

As the stumps have roots to the sides.

[near furnace]

🤔

[mild garnet]

But usually can't tell if its a stump rock or bush.

[vocal rivet]

Rocks are hard with sharp edges and bushes are more round and spiky.

[mild garnet]

Yes... because I can feel my charicters skin....

[ember kraken]

But yeah, BF is hard to navigate at night, so I tend to avoid it. Carry a portal home, have the LED, or worst case hack up a tree or two, make a torch, and use it to run home.

[mild garnet]

My home is the blackforest...

[tacit crystal]

I have had no problems with night time darkness ever, although it is not the best time to search for mushrooms or berry bushes.

[mild garnet]

More of me trying to come home from trying to find turnips or finishing off an Abomination.

[mild garnet]

I've always had trouble with it. I think valheim is just a bit too dark.

[signal bloom]

What compelled you to make black forest your home?

[ember kraken]

Well the game ways to solve it is the LED light and torches at that point in the game. I see in the screen shot you already found Haldor, so either option can work for you.

[mild garnet]

Found a nice structure on the outskirts of a good swamp.

[red quest]

sup guys im kinda new to the game and im looking for someone who has the patience to play through the game with me

[signal bloom]

Ooh nice!!

[mild garnet]

One of my first genuinely good builds imo.

[ember kraken]

BF can be a really nice spot to build if you found a swamp you like. No need to sail in any metal etc.

And with Haldor right next o you as well, it's a very nice spot.

[mild garnet]

Exactly.

Haldor was a pain to find but this place has three metal types and until plains can grow all my food.

[signal bloom]

BF is beautiful but i could never deal with the barrage of nonstop grey dwarves or the rogue troll wrecking my stuff haha

[mild garnet]

Yeah... greydwarves are np but fighting one troll and then the ground starts shaking is not a fun time.

[ember kraken]

I do tend to terraform more in BF than in Meadows, to get rid of all the pests.

[mild garnet]

The first troll I was using to clear out a copper vein and large stone.

This isn't my permanent residence, probably just until post Moder.

[ember kraken]

I usually start by fiding a copper node, dig around and under it, collapse it, and just start building a temp base at the bottom, since it will generally be safe from the enemies anyways. Once I find another good base location, I leave a portal there and just use it as a practical farm, and/or metal smelting spot.

[mild garnet]

#building-screenshots

[signal bloom]

Sick!

[halcyon depot]

sooo i lost all my armor and weapons in dwegr tower .... cant avoid them to pick it up , yes i acidently atacked them ... 😄 any way to get it back exept making all armor and wep again ?

[nocturne wolf]

You could lure a gjall or seeker soldier over as a distraction

[halcyon depot]

tried with the seeker he gets nuked asap

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have some old equipment you could use? Make sure you have fire and frost resistance if possible
Root harnesk will help for crossbow bolts

[halcyon depot]

2 mages and 1 with xbow on entrance agresive AF 😄

ye thats the last armor set that i didnt lost ... will try once more leeeroooy

[undone remnant]

So if I start my own world and decide I want to play with someone. I can migrate my stuff via my inventory onto the new world yeah?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, characters and worlds are saved separately so you can bring anything

[undone remnant]

Great! Do I lose inventory contents on death?

[nocturne wolf]

Your items are dropped in a grave and can be retrieved at any time. Graves cannot despawn or be destroyed, unless a saving error happens which can occur if you leave the game immediately after dying.

[undone remnant]

Gotcha. Time to dive in then ❤️ Thanks for the answers.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, so don't Alt + F4 quickly if you die.

[glossy ingot]

We need a boss rush mode. I wanna fight eiktyr with endgame power levels

[merry pebble]

You can actually make Eikthyr (and i assume other bosses also, tested just him now) stronger by spawning him with extra levels using commands 🙂
At lvl 10 (thats as high as you can make any creature) he would have dmg roughly around mistlands/ashlands lvl creatures

[foggy crest]

When playing Hardcore, do most players go Magic for Mistlands/Ashlands, or do they stick with Bow/Ranged/Armor?

[halcyon depot]

Just a note that i managed to get all the armor and wep back 😄 it was a pain and lots more deaths but made it ... my question is are all the dvegr now be hostile to me ?

[tacit crystal]

Depends how you define hardcore, do you mean hard difficulty with hardcore death settings or playing permadeath run?

[foggy crest]

Yah sorry Permadeath run.

[tacit crystal]

Only the ones in that area.

[foggy crest]

I ask because I find Mage the most "fun" but man, it's squishy as hell when a bad aggro takes place and your shield gets knocked down heh.

[halcyon depot]

area you mean like from that tower? I mean i left no survivers 🙂

[shy marlin]

Squishy? Staff of protection would like to have a word with you

[tacit crystal]

Magic would be the easiest way in my experience.. Having stamina bar solely for movement and eitr for dealing damage is quite good.

Ranged and melee need more stamina for all actions.

[foggy crest]

Do you find Skeletons useful in Ashlands?

[tacit crystal]

Maybe for distractions, but I usually don't bother.

[merry pebble]

Certain staff you get in ashlands is even better for big distractions 😄

[foggy crest]

OK yah that's how I've been playing. Was just curious.

[shy marlin]

Skelets don't shine in the ashlands because they die to random bits of lava tbh

I usually just summon them whenever i'm doing a fortress tho

[tacit crystal]

I prefer more melee playstyle personally. I'm currently doing "2h weapons only" perma run.

[foggy crest]

Do you use Bow or Crossbow as mage, or just 100% mage and Staff of Wild, etc.?

[tacit crystal]

If I play mage I may sometimes have crossbow just in case but frost staff, staff of wild and fracturing staff are most commonly used plus protection staff and trollstav.

[foggy crest]

So I've never used fracturing - people say it's useless -- and my understanding is Trollstav is just for fortresses and Fader, yes?

[tacit crystal]

Don't listen to those who say it's useless. It may be inferior for AoE compared to Ember staff but single target dps is huge when all clusters hit the target. Fire damage ramps quickly when multiple shots are shot.
Trollstav is useful in many situations, especially as that larger distraction.

[shy marlin]

Pop trollstav whenever there's a lot of action going on, fracturing shines against larger enemies and when there's flat terrain too, fracturing really doesn't shine anywhere atm but it might be good in the deep north

[foggy crest]

But isn't Frost better for single target DPS?

[nocturne wolf]

Staff of fracturing becomes significantly stronger with upgrades, with each level increasing the total base fire damage by 72

[signal bloom]

Time for me to break out my fracturing staff now 🤣

[tacit crystal]

The fire damage is huge and stacks with every hit.

[signal bloom]

1st spears, now fracturing staff 💯

[foggy crest]

kk I'll definitely try it out. When you use Fracturing do you drop Frost?

[shy marlin]

When you want to use fracturing you just use wilds simple as

There's no scenario when it's better

[signal bloom]

What about when all vines are up?

[tacit crystal]

I like using frost too, I usually carry both. Raise few roots and slow enemies with frost staff so the enemies don't run off from the roots.

I could imagine fracturing staff being useful in DN especially when it can be upgraded to quality 4.

[nocturne wolf]

Quality 4 and hopefully less fire resistance on the enemies

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but even when almost all enemies in Ashlands are at least resistant (all charred very resistant) against fire the fire damage is still huge especially against those larger enemies.

[exotic swan]

Damn how is it Sunday evening already?

[merry pebble]

Well for me its monday early morning xD

[exotic swan]

Australia?

[merry pebble]

Europe xD

[exotic swan]

ahhh early, early morning got it, anything I should know about the future?

[nocturne wolf]

very early morning

[merry pebble]

It is dark 😦 ||(literally dark outside :D)||

[merry pebble]

1:39 early 😄

[nocturne wolf]

It’s even earlier here

[light moat]

Sunday evening for me! Our time actually sprung forward an hour, so my ‘day’ is 23 hours long today

[shy marlin]

Spring forward always messes me up I hate it so much

[light moat]

It’s the worst.

RIP 1 hour of sleep 😭

[merry pebble]

We will have that at last sunday of March 😦 some magic happens and after 1:59am its gonna be 3:00 am

[kind iron]

A fish that I left on the ground just tackled me when it started raining, never had this before.

Is it some kind of interaction that because it's wet, it tried to swim?

[nimble moss]

If a wave came up from underground, it might have thought it was back in the ocean.

[kind iron]

I am very very inland on a big hill. Never seen a wave that high

[north pecan]

Is content on the scale of a new biome remotely possible post-deep north? Or is the sentiment more so to wrap the game up and move on.

[shy marlin]

Wrap up the game

Post 1.0 looks to be bug fixes

Jsmars has talked about mod support too but it’s only been talks of it nothing official

[tribal trench]

Another night in my "quest for fire" and every Putrid Hole has had nothing in it so far but a morgen ><

[obtuse remnant]

what sort of new ores or materials are you hoping for in the deep north? in addition to whatever the main biome weapon/armor materials are, i'd like to see a rare precious metal added which has more cosmetic or hearth and home-like uses

[shadow wind]

So nice that the first Moder we found is completely surrounded by mistland :sadkitty:

[glossy dune]

Challenge accepted @shadow wind

[tacit crystal]

Doable, one of my latest maps had Moder altar in a mountain surrounded by Mistlands.

[shadow wind]

It was doable, just a huge pain

didn't help that all the entrances to the mountain we could find were almost sheer cliffs

[inland wraith]

is the mage armor worth it? feather cloak is fancy, but the weakness against fire is a big nono to me, even is mistlands

[tacit crystal]

You can counter the weakness to fire with either fire barley wine (resistance overrides weakness) or using staff of protection which blocks all damage until the limit where it breaks. And with that staff mage armor is worth it since you need more eitr regen to use your staves more efficiently.

[nocturne wolf]

Feather cape isn’t part of the mage armor and works well with any playstyle

Feather cape + lightfoot mead allow you to easily dodge almost everything, it is worth it

[split citrus]

what is the best way to get to ashlands early?

[inland wraith]

omg didnt know that, thought weakness + ress = +-0, maybe still negative.
well, that's good to know

[nocturne wolf]

You keep the resistance of the barley wine so you take reduced fire damage

[inland wraith]

very good 🙂
got visited by some gjall y-day and man, one hit and i got fried from all sides xD

[tacit crystal]

When you have 2 same type of modifiers (weakness to fire and resistance to fire for example) the better one stays in play (the resistance). You could equip Fenris set and feather cape and have fire resistance from the set.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[nimble moss]

Before killing Queen? Just sail there

[robust token]

After getting the materials for the boat is probably the way

[opaque bobcat]

I'm curious though, what if you found a stretch of the Ashland seas that was thin enough?

Like how long does it take for the boat to fall apart from the high temp boiling waters?

Has anyone even tried?

[robust token]

Not sure, I've never been to Ashland

[nocturne wolf]

I've seen people reach the rocks with a longship and build bridges to jump across

[opaque bobcat]

It's a whole different kind of suck compared to the mist lands

[heady parcel]

Returned after a longish break for other things, hopped on my latest world and started running around the plains. Turns out my risk evaluation skills had been somewhat diminished during my break - aggroed a full camp of fulings while on crap foods and unrested. Bonemass power and a very drawn out session of kite-spank-dodge-kite-repeat saved the day, but whooh what a rush. Valheim, you know how to make my pulse go up! ❤️

[fossil vault]

fyi you can just outrun them

[rain flare]

This is the safe way

[rain flare]

This is the I got skillz way 😎

[shy marlin]

it's rlly not hard

[rain flare]

If I tried that second one, I’d be a body at the bottom of the sea 😂

[rain flare]

You can’t talk dude 🤣🤣🤣

[shy marlin]

it's literally spamming click there's nothing hard about it

[rain flare]

You are too skilled 🤭

I’m talking about the parkour requirements 😂
And the not falling in water.
Me not so good at that 🙈

[heady parcel]

That's kinda part of kiting, staying on the move to keep them at a distance while whittling away at them when possible, to grind them down. Stamina was low and since I was wet and unrested there it was hard to gain enough distance to leave them behind. And I kept aggroing deathsquitos who wanted in on the fun, and turning my back to them on low health was not something I wanted to do. Managed to avoid the local lox though, might have been too much with those on top...

[fossil vault]

Kiting the fulings into a lox/tar pit works really well btw

[tiny tiger]

Frostner is perfect for Fulings the knockback means you barely get hit and can take on large groups at a time

[light moat]

Frostner is just a perfect weapon 🤌

[north pecan]

It’s great even in ashlands

[obtuse remnant]

The Fenring howl as heard from the Mistlands is unnerving

[regal spoke]

More or less than first hearing the Gjall horn

[obtuse remnant]

Less but not significantly so

[regal spoke]

Fair

[limber kernel]

Sup

[limber kernel]

It’s just a nuke horn

[upbeat crypt]

haha my item mounted pike just told a joke

[zealous thicket]

He just wants to be returned to the water and not cooked into a wrap 😭

[wispy scaffold]

Hey is there a reference doc siomehwere with all object names?
Im using infinity hammer and try to guess the names of the pillars in plains, the straight ones and yagluth. Som ekind of reference would be ace!

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs#Other

[wispy scaffold]

My MAN!!!!!! thank you

[pearl horizon]

Do you guys think the game looks good with or without depth of field?

[nocturne wolf]

I prefer to have depth of field off

[chrome badge]

I think depth of field is handy for lower specs, and keeps focus off of things popping into existence within nearby view.

[azure yacht]

Check both options and see for yourself

[chrome badge]

But other than that, without is pretty nice imo

[pearl horizon]

I thought this was one of those games that actually looked good with depth of field on. Not that it didn’t look great without it

[nocturne wolf]

It can look nice for screenshots, but in gameplay I find the distant objects blurring to be a bit distracting or annoying sometimes, depending on the situation

[azure yacht]

I don't understand the point of knowing what others think about it

[chrome badge]

Oh sure it looks good, it's just preferable to have that additional awareness for things further away for myself personally.

[pearl horizon]

Just curiosity mostly

[chrome badge]

Also, Ashlands mobs have very far detection distance, further than DoF can even see, so you might be blindsided by some mobs out there.

[pearl horizon]

That’s… understandable

[heady parcel]

HAH, spear fuling nailed a two star hare I was chasing, thanks green guy!

[fallen peak]

Would anyone be able to help me with this pathway really quick?

Anyone on

Can you not type the same thing in multiple channels?

[fallen peak]

Sorry just trying to find someone to help lol

This server doesn’t seem very active sometimes

[merry pebble]

Not everyone can be online all the time 🙂 or they simply dont want to engage in conversation

Spamming every channel won't change that.

It was two channels and they said they are sorry 🙂

Yeah, but it's far from the first time.

[fallen peak]

If you guys wanna come check out my server you can

[merry pebble]

No thank you, gonna go to sleep soon 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Feel free to post it in #1024264966712340510

[fallen peak]

Ok

[tiny tiger]

I find with dof off and max render distance you can see enemies pop into view sometimes and it’s kinda jarring sometimes although idk if dof on would solve I turned that and motion blur off automatically before even getting into my first playthrough

[chrome badge]

Nothing would solve that, it's how render distance functions, it just keep focus off of them a little easier if your distance isn't set to far.

[obtuse gazelle]

So, is fishing obsolete in/after Ashlands? All of the top tier food doesn’t require it

[vocal rivet]

Well, there's nothing AFTER Ashlands yet, so technically everything is obselete.

[nocturne wolf]

You need to fish in ashlands and deep north to make the hat

[obtuse gazelle]

Already have it, it just felt cool that you had to fish in Mistlands for best stamina food per that biome, no such crafts with Magma fish yet by the looks of it

[pliant radish]

Fishing feels very underutilized as a feature on the devs part

But maybe I'm just used to the hilariously in depth fishing systems in other games like terraria

[nocturne wolf]

Terraria’s fishing is literally a slot machine

[tacit crystal]

Fishing in Valheim feels like a trophy hunting for me, trying to get the bigger fish to show off on wall.

Although after Bog Witch update we got 4 new recipes that require you to fish.

[light moat]

You don’t want to put too much dependence on fishing though, some don’t enjoy it as much as others. Wouldn’t mind a little more for fishing though.

[misty sun]

infinite iron ore from fishing, catch de fish, throw them back in the water, catch de fish again.

[light moat]

Really hope we get a good unique dish using salmon though, would be great!

[tacit crystal]

Surely the DN has those peaceful moments to fish some salmon, right?

[tiny tiger]

I mean the seal dev update implies the shores are calm

[nocturne wolf]

What if the shores are calm but salmon are not

[tiny tiger]

Bring your frostner to chill them out

[tacit crystal]

Unless the seals are actually ferocious and deadly.

After all, it's our survival or theirs.

[pliant hatch]

Killer Salmon?

Aren't those called Piranha?

[tiny tiger]

There’s no way the seals are deadly look at them lol

they are fat and cute they could only kill with looks

[tacit crystal]

That remains to be seen. 👀

[tiny tiger]

You don’t even need to run away from them you can just walk

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe the horns could be used for a low damage but very high knockback and stagger attack to protect themselves if you damage them?

[pearl horizon]

Sometimes people are too online….

[vocal rivet]

That's also true, though not sure how it's relevant here.

[tepid prawn]

Have you met seals irl? I did just a few weeks ago 🙂

[tribal trench]

@dense idol is that a flag top view ?? Thats sick, very nice

[dense idol]

thanks 🙂 I just plant in rows to help planting, patterns are cool

[small badge]

is there an easier way to find a bog witch? or do I just have to run around in swamps until I find one

[nimble moss]

basically - just keep moving around

[gray sand]

In-game? No.
Out-of-game? Map website.

[flat knot]

yo

just downloaded the game last week

[rain flare]

Yo yo yo yo!
Welcome! 🤩🥳

[alpine ermine]

that sad, i have good suggestion but it involves more explaining, so i cant post it. 😦 .

[gray sand]

STRANGER DANGER

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[alpine ermine]

i always have the correct point of views! ; )

[shy marlin]

Only siths deal in absolutes

[alpine ermine]

😮 lol i readed it first "shit" XD

[gray sand]

Was literally my declared religion during all my years of service 😁

[small badge]

wait, is the map always the same no matter which world you're on?

[gray sand]

No. But the map website will generate your world when you type in the seed.

[small badge]

oooh

prob won't do that unless I feel stuck, good to know that it exists though

[gray sand]

You lost me at "i"

[alpine ermine]

can i send you my suggestion? and help me how can i frame it so i could post it?

[rain tapir]

Guys I captured a wolf but idk if it’s tammed or not

It’s hp bar is green now

[gray sand]

Green is good.

[rain tapir]

How many meats did I need Ithink I over did it

[gray sand]

Also respect on your pfp choice.

[rain tapir]

Thanks lool alsooo how do I get the second one? Can I tame it inside the same pen?

Or remove it first and then tame?

[alpine ermine]

you can have many and also they can multiply

[gray sand]

Would remove first then tame new one.
Once you have 2 you can just breed them infinitely.

[shy marlin]

Ignore the implications of that

[rain tapir]

How many will be available at one time ones tamed?

Like breed

[alpine ermine]

endless till your FPS collaps

[rain tapir]

What’s their weakness? I about to go fight the bonemass

Soon

[alpine ermine]

the dogs? i dont think they are good against him cause his poison, nut sure tho, if oyu have 2 star wolves maybe they can kill it quikly, but idk honestly for sure

[rain tapir]

I’m playing on hard+ btw

But in general what’s the wolf’s weakness?

[alpine ermine]

prolly fire since its an ice biome creature is would assume

[plush umbra]

they're not weak to anything, but are neutral (x1) to most damage types, including all 3 physical damage types.

they're even neutral to frost damage

they have no resistances and only 1 relevant immunity - spirit

[rain tapir]

Ahhh also I have a 2 star boar rn and I have no luck finding a second one will I be able to breed it with any other boar and try a new have a chance to get 2 stars?

[plush umbra]

yes, the baby inherits the level of whichever parent birthed it, which is random, so it's effectively a 50/50 chance

just gotta kill the starless piggies til they're all 2 star~

[rain tapir]

So a 2 star and a normal no star is fine too

[plush umbra]

yes

[rain tapir]

Okie okie bet

[flat knot]

anyone wanna play with me ?

[median ivy]

Is there any way to prevent chickens from dying? I don't want to have to set the black forest ablaze because greylings killed them..

[nocturne wolf]

Keep them inside

[median ivy]

I guess that's a good tip. I thought of making them free range.
What about protection from AoE? I planned to make their coop in the plains and I know Lox might do their stomp.

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have an outer wall around your base?

[median ivy]

No.

[tacit crystal]

If you create walls or dig a moat (even better have both) around your base the enemies cannot just enter and destroy your hens.

[median ivy]

I heard bats can be a nuisance to them. Do I just hope for the best that they don't kill them or do I just have to use those turrets on them

[rain flare]

Put your chickens in a chicken coop

Don’t just let them wander around or they WILL die
Same for your boars if you have any

[tacit crystal]

Having them inside is safer for them against bats.

[median ivy]

Thanks for the tips. Last question is can they breed? Don't feel like wasting 1500 gold every time I want to make honey glazed chicken

[nocturne wolf]

Feed them seeds

[tacit crystal]

They lay eggs as long as there are 2 of them, they are happy (aka fed) and not alerted.

[median ivy]

Ok. Do they eat only seeds?

[nocturne wolf]

They eat barley but not flax

[merry pebble]

And dandelions

[tacit crystal]

All those are correct. Also tree seeds count.

Except cones.

[median ivy]

Ok good. Guess I'll be feeding them dandelions and seeds. Thank you all so much for the help.

[rain flare]

Also, keep in mind mobs have a max spawn limit depending on how many are in an area

Don’t remember the exact spacing for chickens - just don’t be surprised if they stop laying eggs at some point when they reach critical mass

[median ivy]

I plan to leave at least 3 alive

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[median ivy]

Hate those guys so much

Despite being a 1 only can spawn creature, they seem to be everywhere

[rain tapir]

Anyone wanna link me to a cheap easy to build breeding for boars and wolf?

[abstract warren]

Just set up some roundpole fences

[rain tapir]

I mean like afk farm

Cause I need a load of boar meat since my server with friends has 6 people

[abstract warren]

Here you go. First result after a quick YouTube search
https://youtu.be/1EEFQYD4fM8

[rain tapir]

I saw that but he’s using iron fences for the drop

[abstract warren]

You haven't reached the swamp yet?

Shouldn't take too long

Especially with 5 people

[rain tapir]

We’re at the swamp but iron is used for so much equipment we’re still building them

[rain flare]

Enjoy - it takes a while to gear up
I’d recommend not wasting too much material upgrading your gear - it’s expensive enough just forging it

[rain tapir]

I got myself a frostclub built with silver 🙂 and I might skip from troll armour I have right now straight to a wolf armour after we beat the bonemass

[rain flare]

Sounds great!
Frostner is amazing in the swamp

[rain tapir]

I’m gonna farm some boar meat and harvest my veggies for my friends while they do all the dirty work until they need me for the boss

Or I can try and take a second wolf and make a small little army for the swamp until we get to bonemass spawn

And just use a 6 player with. Wolf army against the bonemass

[mint blade]

does anyone have a good modpack me and someone can play becausae we got bored after we finished the ashlands and want some new content and new creatures and stuff like that. I dont want a deep north mod but i want some changes to the existing biomes and new weapons and all that. i tried modding but its difficult and i cant find out what mods work and whats compatible with what

[violet nimbus]

hey anyone on?

new player here looking to start... but have no idea what to do

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll get better answers in #mods-discussion

[mint blade]

ok thanks

[violet nimbus]

buddy of mine bought me the game a couple of months ago, but i haven't touched it since then

so yeah a bit rusty, with absolutely no idea what i am doing

[mint blade]

make a new world and character

and play the game, figure everything out for yourself, that’s what makes the game so good. i don’t wanna spoil it for u

[mossy fiber]

Yes. Everyone should do this. Everyone wants to be guided and shown the best things immediately. Just figure it out. You're depriving yourself of the experience

[exotic cradle]

Read and listen to the birb

[regal spoke]

🐦‍⬛

[final hinge]

I'm not surprised there are some ashlands d-day memes already in existance.

That is crazy.

[rain flare]

What’s crazy?

[pliant hatch]

"Already"?

It was called a D-Day Normandy landing a few hours after it dropped in the PTB.
So when those memes starting to pop up now, they're bloody late with it.

[final hinge]

I'm very late to getting around to playing ashlands.

[shy marlin]

And the d day experience doesn't exist anymore

[rain flare]

It took me 2 hours to clear a beachhead

[final hinge]

And I heard it used to be harder?

[shy marlin]

Way harder but as per usual stuff gets nerfed because people refuse to adapt

[rain flare]

There was a bug that alerted everything within a 7 mile radius and they ALL CAME OVER FOR TEA

Was horrible 😂

Hence 2 hours later I finally had a space to call home

[final hinge]

It took us about 3 hours, and then an additional 3 hours to round up everyone's gear. Our group got split up during the approach and one of our Drakkars beached on a tiny island instead of the mainland.

Kinda frustrating, but one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had in a game.

The frustration was mostly from enemy/player scaling and horrible server lag spikes.

[rain flare]

Oh my word my guy 😂

That is actually so funny 🤭

[rain flare]

I can imagine this was amazing!

Real life D-day experience right there

[final hinge]

It is crazy how when when 7 of us are together, I can barely even see a charred warrior's heath bar move when I attack, but when I'm alone I can kill it in 4 hits.

[rain flare]

Well, they gotta up the challenge somehow without spawning in 500 mobs

[final hinge]

Dude I died like 15 seconds after jumping off the boat, we had to make 2 additional return voyages.

[pliant hatch]

Which one? Gold, Juno, Sword and Utah landings went pretty smooth. So it must be Omaha landing.

Personally I think it's more like a landing at Tarawa instead one of Normandy.

[rain flare]

I kinda expected to get my ass kicked as I was playing a super squishy mage build - so I opted to sit on a pillar while I cleared the surrounding area

After endless waves of the dead just kept coming I managed to secure a spot by building a bunch of campfires to stop the incessant mob spam

Didn’t die once in all of those 2 hours, but had a few close calls with a bloody morgen 😂

[final hinge]

I'm convinced they have something in place where when you cross the threshold between the sea and shore it will always spawn a wave of enemies.

I was mining some grausten on the shore and I'd have moments of peace but any time I went back and forth there would suddenly be 5-10 enemies spawned again.

[rain flare]

Also………..
Why are you mining Grausten? 😂

Trust me man, you do NOT need to mine that stuff 🤭

[tribal trench]

The crash landing we had in the Ashlands on my game for the first time was just, amazing... I think that experiece for players is such a rush it makes everything worth it.

[final hinge]

I wanted to experiment building with it and didn't want to go too far without any of the other guys. So I just built a building where we landed.

[rain flare]

I am really looking forward to doing that again with some friends

[final hinge]

Our initial portal hut was built on top of a grausten rock. But a Morgan came by and turned into swiss cheese.

[rain flare]

100s
I ask cause there is normally so much of the stuff lying around you end up with like 500 piles of it

[rain flare]

Yeah - case in point for why I never gather the stuff 😂

[final hinge]

The building I built took about 1750 of it.

[rain flare]

Niiiiiiiiiice!

[final hinge]

But all gathered from within like eyesight of where we landed.

[plush umbra]

I don’t mean to interrupt, but I hate how I have a little under a hundred hours clocked into valheim and have no idea what yall are talking about lol

Then again I’ve been playing solo so progress has been so slow

[final hinge]

I have over 1000 hours and I'm experiencing a lot of this for the first time.

[rain flare]

Dear battle brother/sister, don’t rush the glorious experience of Valheim

The sweet sweet fruits of your patience will be well rewarded
🔥❤️‍🔥 🔥

[plush umbra]

It’s been so fun so far and I’m excited to get into the actual meat of the game, I think the farthest I’ve gotten thus far has been the swamp biome

[rain flare]

I’m actually restarting with a new character - playing from scratch will be fun

[plush umbra]

Oooo nice, it’s always so satisfying to rebuild, I have one world I’ve been working on for a while now and I’m determined to drag my friends into it

[rustic zephyr]

heyooo

[near jay]

hello guys i need some mode for teleport matrials in valhiem

[rustic zephyr]

I’m new to the game, but i’d rather start with a duo than solo if you’re interested, 18+?

[tribal trench]

There we were... sailing hard south with a stiff wind. All of a sudden the coast of jagged peaks appears and we were commited at that point. There was a massive Bonemaw that spawned and started shooting fire balls at us, vultures come out from between the rocks, and there was only one gap in the rocks exposing the beach. At this point we landed and were literally straight SWARMED by everything within sight...This included a Fallen Valkyrie in which... 2 of the crew perished lol.

[rain flare]

Odin’s beard that is EPIC! 🤩

[tribal trench]

Those moments make me play Valheim over and over and thats the magic in this game for me

[rain flare]

SKOL!
To moments long lost and savoured well with friends!

[final hinge]

Me and my friends do a new playthrough every time there is a major update, so this is our third. I'm always torn, because I always build really cool bases. But it's hard to get into the game again without all the context and buildup from a fresh start.

So I just have to keep building cool new bases.

[tribal trench]

Interesting

[rain flare]

I getcha
It builds investment when you do that

[final hinge]

It's also hard for me to build for just myself. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the bases actually getting used by friends. Or the way they decorate the barracks.

[rain flare]

I’m just so bloody nostalgic 😂
I can’t leave my beloved world

[rain flare]

I literally can’t do that outside of creative
There just isn’t a motivator for building nicely without others benefiting from it

[final hinge]

It can't really get behind creative building either. Sure it takes like a week to build a proper base but gathering the tens of thousands of stone required makes it more rewarding.

[rain flare]

Understandable.

This is my current main base

#building-screenshots message

[tribal trench]

what about the gjalls?

[rain flare]

You have no idea how many crafting table I had to place to stop those from spawning 😂😂😂

Also, gjalls only spawn in one per main region
So if one has spawned in, then you can just let it chill there

[rain flare]

Literally my WORST memory of this base is spawning in one day with a gjall in my face as I came out of my bedroom 😂

[tribal trench]

LMFAO

I bet that was a good time lol

[rain flare]

Yes.
Yes it was.
The aftermath….?
Not that much 😂

[tribal trench]

My main base is in the Black Forest biome at the edge and is more like a little village now

[rain flare]

@nocturne wolf, can we get an “Oh, hello there?” With a gjall blasting your face? 😂
That would really sell home how that experience went 🙈

[final hinge]

Impressive. I haven't built in mistlands. I usually build a starter base in the meadows. And then a big base in the planes that usually ends up being the "main" one.

But this time I built a smaller outpost base using a lot of black marble for the ashlands departure. And now if made that one outposr in the ashlands with grausten.

That black marble place is totally obsolete because of the ashlands portals though lol. I thought we were going to have to ship flametal out of the ashlands.

[rain flare]

Would love to see that! 🥰

[hollow crag]

Could just place camp fires or torches

[rain flare]

I could.
But I HATE placing campfires all over that place 😂
Unless I’m in the Ashlands. Then I don’t care

[hollow crag]

Fair enough

[rain flare]

When building, I like to hide my workstations in little huts to make it look pretty

[hollow crag]

I usually hide them inside walls or on roofs

I mean the work station upgrades

I once had a forge under a wooden bed it was hilarious

[final hinge]

#mods-screenshots message

I think I'm linking the message properly. We use a few inventory mods and stuff so I put it in the mods channel.

[median ivy]

Misthare supreme vs honey glazed chicken?

[final hinge]

There's a been a few editions but that's the big planes base from this playthrough.

I haven't really taken screenshots of any of the other bases.

[tacit crystal]

Honey glazed chicken is easier obtainable IMO. Misthare requires hunting which is harder at first until you get AoE options to hunt them.

[median ivy]

I have a fire ember staff right now. Is it even worth it to make the honey glazed chicken right now? Misthare hunting has never been easier so far since I've gotten the ember staff.

[hardy terrace]

hello, im new to valheim and made a second base on black forest , how can i stop monsters from going to my base?

[median ivy]

Usually fire wards off the Greydwarfs. As for trolls and other stuff, make a moat for that

[hardy terrace]

so i need fireplace all over the place? or would the standing wood torch do also ?

[median ivy]

I've done standing torches and they seem to get scared of them so I guess both works

[hardy terrace]

thanksss ill build a ton of them

[tacit crystal]

That depends which you prioritise more: 5 more HP or 5 minutes longer duration.

[normal vapor]

So I was trying to find information about HUDcompass mod not working correctly (resolved) but in doing that I saw mentions about a mod for making pins while out adventuring and using NOMAP mode... does anyone have recommendations for a good mod to do such a thing

[median ivy]

Is 5 hp that drastic of a change, cause if not then I'll go with the chicken

I mean, I'd guess 5 more minutes matters more than 5hp

[rain flare]

Ooooooh I Like this man! 🤩

@tribal trench I love that Ashlands build man! The internal decor and externals is quite pretty 🥰

[tribal trench]

Thank you!

Asksvin are so good at climbing I had to put them in cages 😢

[final hinge]

Thanks. It's not really a viking build, my inspiration was an 11th century Norman castle.

[rain flare]

My Loxen are not far behind 🤭

[tiny tiger]

What food are you comparing the honey glazed chicken to? I could do some calculations and see how much of a difference it is at different amounts of time remaining

[rain flare]

I’d take the chicken for sustainability but misthare doesn’t require you to build a chicken farm to use it

[tiny tiger]

Ah I didn’t see that lol I’ll check now

Honey Glazed Chicken vs Misthare Supreme

80 at 30 min VS 85 at 25 min
75.7 at 25 min VS 79.5 at 20 min
70.8 at 20 min VS 72.9 at 15 min
65 at 15 min VS 64.6 at 10 min
57.5 at 10 min VS 52.4 at 5 min

So based on this my conclusion is longer duration is better overall for general exploring but higher stats at the cost of shorter duration is better when used just before say going into a dungeon or bossfight where every HP and Stamina point may matter

[final hinge]

I just prefer all my food timers to line up regardless of what I'm doing.

[tiny tiger]

Eh im in endgame so I just run FFS now

[final hinge]

What do people usually do food-wise? I've always been 2 health and 1 stamina.

[tiny tiger]

For majority of my game ive been HHS but I used HSS when mapping out islands and gathering intel

The extra stamina really makes a difference and allows you to level up run skill faster so it just compounds overtime to more efficient stamina usage

[radiant gorge]

If I'm going to fight I use HHS but I use SSH or HS and a neutral most of the time since I don't like going slow

[wet night]

That's sentence from valheim wiki:
When relying on any frost resist cape, bringing Frost resistance mead helps in case of getting wet, as the wet effect will disable the cape's frost resist effect.

It's wrong right? frost resist effect is not going to be disabled by wet status

[blissful summit]

unless i'm doing something specific, i just eat three feasts for this reason

[radiant gorge]

haven't checked

[merry pebble]

I do think it should not work like that, will check, btw which page is it?

[wet night]

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

[azure yacht]

I'm seeing tons of misinformation in that article...

[wet night]

don't you check who writes those?

[azure yacht]

Yes, but we're not farseer and it's impossible to know what is written in the almost 1000 articles in the wiki unless they're reported

[merry pebble]

There is more than a thousand of pages and we only have few people, its really not feasible to check everything 😅

[wet night]

sure, i was just thinking there is some kind of filter, like i can write an article but those few trusted people decide if it goes public

but if it goes public automaticly without any filter then yes, you can't catch everything

[merry pebble]

Yeah its wrong

[vocal rivet]

That's not how Wikis work.

[tiny tiger]

Let’s go I just found a 2 star boar on spawn island

[cosmic igloo]

u doing the reverse run?

[tiny tiger]

Yepppp

[rain flare]

It really depends on your equipment
Players who like doing archery or rogue like do Stamina Stamina health

I like Magic magic magic or magic magic stamina

[tiny tiger]

Working on getting max bronze armor and then hopefully finding the swamps for some iron from oozers

[cosmic igloo]

fun?

i guess too early to tell

[tiny tiger]

It’s been a blast I like how it’s a puzzle to solve for how I’m meant to progress

[cosmic igloo]

ya thats always fun

[plush umbra]

This is late as hell because I got called to cook but I'd love to! I can send you a dm with my steam friend code :)

[opaque bobcat]

Health and 2 stamina foods before mist lands, then it's eityr and 2 health foods.

The remaining stamina the comes from the high-grade eityr food and health food gives enough stamina to not need it

[merry pebble]

Once you have staff of protection you really dont need even one health food

[wet night]

but it gives you 0 armor and no resist health

it disapears instantly

or do i just dont understand it

[merry pebble]

No it really dosent if you are carefull and dont get swarmed

[nocturne wolf]

The staff of protection can survive an infinitely strong hit when it breaks

[opaque bobcat]

But it lasts less longer than a health food does

[nocturne wolf]

You can recast the shield as often as you need

[merry pebble]

True that, but you can refresh it anytime irt runs out 🙂

[wet night]

so like when it has 10 hp remaining and im being hit by 1000 dmg then it covers for entire 1000 and none of it is taken from my HP?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, you take zero damage when it breaks

This also means you can parry any blockable attack no matter how strong it is

[merry pebble]

Now do you see why i said you basically dont need any hp food? 😄

[wet night]

yeah... its pretty good it seems

[opaque bobcat]

An extra wand that I have to keep on my person just to keep me alive?

Plus there's no way to tell when it breaks, other than the time duration

[wet night]

and it becomes even better if i would play on hard / hardcore where enemies literally oneshot you anyway no matter the armor

[merry pebble]

I extra staff that will enable me to do around 2 times more dmg because i eat 2 eitr foods? yes please 😄

[wet night]

it would be nice to have an actual number of HP remaning on already existing shield

maybe there is a mod for that already created

[merry pebble]

It would be cool to have some indication, maybe the colour/opacity of the bubble could change according of its remaining hp 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

A number could be shown on the status effect list

[merry pebble]

I would preffer a bit more subtle tell actually

[nocturne wolf]

So the player has to guess how much is remaining? Why not both?

[opaque bobcat]

It's also another skill I have to train, because for some reason the shield is blood magic

[merry pebble]

So that your knowledge and experience as a player actually means something 🙂

[merry pebble]

Does it relly on elements? No. So why would it be elswhere?

[wet night]

more skills to learn are fine to me, but they should contain more weapons. Fists having only 1 weapon, and magic skills that cover only few staffs each is a little bit not enough

[opaque bobcat]

I don't know man

All I know is I don't want to have to train another skill just so way I can have a decent bubble shield

I'll stick with my dunder wand and be good with it

[merry pebble]

You absolutely dont need to train the skills for their associated weapons to be decent 🙂

[wet night]

game seems to be balanced into forcing you to use that bubble, specially on harder difficulties

[opaque bobcat]

Yes you do

[merry pebble]

Well the game is balanced around normal difficulty 😅

[merry pebble]

You can go through the whole game no problem with skills at 0 😉

[opaque bobcat]

Ok

[wet night]

but this kind of gameplay (low health) requires literally spamming the shield, you, cant move without it and when you forget - you just die instantly. Maybe i could create some kind of macro for myself. 1 button to wear staff -> cast it -> wear previous weapon again

[merry pebble]

Dont get me wrong, skills certainly help quite a bit 🙂 but they are one of the less important things

[opaque bobcat]

You legit lose skill levels if you die, that sounds pretty important to me

[merry pebble]

Yes, and? You can loose a torch when you die, does it make it very important to the progression of the game?

[tiny tiger]

Saying skills aren’t important is a little disingenuous, the difference between 0-100 is pretty substantial

running at level 100 is 25% faster and 50% less stamina drain or something like that that makes a big difference

jump skill being like double the height at lvl 100

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, but they are way less important than gear or food for example 🙂 You can survive ashlands with 0 skills and proper gear + food no problem, however try it with a club, rug tunic and 100 skills

[tiny tiger]

id agree weapon skills (excluding bow skill) aren’t nearly as impactful but run and jump are pretty important and you wanna be levelling those up as much as possible

[wet night]

he said "one of less important", not "arent important"

[tiny tiger]

Ah I see that now

[wet night]

if something is on a bottom of importance compared to other variables then it doesnt mean its "not important"

[tiny tiger]

I think the experience loss is definitely more of a mental hit than an actual one but it does suck a lot to get stuck in a spiral of dying over and over and losing skills that you spent hours getting

[wet night]

while turning it OFF in server settings to stop losing skills feels like weak move, ego suffers

[merry pebble]

Which i think is a good thing, you get a mental hit that should make you a bit more careful next time 🙂

[wet night]

the issue with that mental hit is that it may prevent player from trying more fun and risky builds, so instead he choosed more boring but safe aproach

[merry pebble]

Thats where experience comes in 🙂 the more skilled you are the more crazy stuff you can try

[wet night]

that feeling of being stuck with highest armor gear available when you want to play a bit as light armor stamina asasin

but i guess the red buble staff comes here

using that staff actually makes armor and resistances less efficent

which help with transition from high armor into light gear

im actually thinking about playing with increased difficulty, but without skill lose

that way fight would feel more like dark souls

[merry pebble]

Go for it 🙂 it is your game, you can do whatever you want

[wet night]

no, i will not. I would go for a new server with those settings, but only with actual friends that i would play together

And because i dont have them then i will most likely just stop playing now and come back when deep north comes just to see the changes

Can a level 4 Iron Mace one shot a Growth?

[tacit crystal]

With secondary attack should be able to, I think.

[robust token]

I'm browsing the wiki as it is weak to blunt, but not sure how does the damage multiplier works

[wet night]

its 150%

mace deals 110 dmg max and it have 100 hp

with primary attack

[robust token]

ah, so I can indeed one shot it with primary attack

[wet night]

no you dont

[tacit crystal]

Skill level lessens the total damage of your primary hits.

[robust token]

huh?

[wet night]

you dont deal 110 dmg

even on 100 skill you will have a chance to deal less than 100 dmg

ive edited my previous reponse, sorry

[robust token]

so 73 blunt, with 1.5 damage modifier, I deals 109 damage on Growth

doesn't they have only 100 hp?

or Im getting this wrong

[nocturne wolf]

You can see the minimum and maximum random damage as the yellow numbers when hovering over the weapon

[tacit crystal]

Yes, but your skill level determines how much damage you deal with your weapon.

[robust token]

I have lvl 50 on clubs

[tacit crystal]

Secondary attack have 2,5x damage multiplier, which will indeed oneshot growth.

[wet night]

so most of your primary attacks are not going to one-shot growth

[robust token]

ok

Just wondering because I ran into 8 Growth and I almost died xD
