valheim-chat

[wet night]

yeah, they are basicly the worst enemy on plains

[robust token]

and I only brought Atgeir, Draugr Fang and Frostener

[wet night]

the weapon that ended my issues with them completly was fire staff

[tacit crystal]

Fire arrows can be useful against them, they are weak against fire too.

Huntsman bow + fire arrows give you ability to snipe them one by one easily.

[robust token]

alright, let me give it a try

[opaque bobcat]

with how low profile they are, and how tall the grass can be it's a bit tough with those growths

[wet night]

that's why fire staff is the best

[opaque bobcat]

skill issue issue on my end i guess

[merry pebble]

If you hower over the "weak" text it will show you 😉

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but it seems UncleRanger isn't there yet.

[robust token]

I'm still between Plains and Yagluth

[wet night]

i think the wise thing is to just avoid those fuckers, mark tar on a map for the future and fight them only if you need more tar.

[robust token]

I just drained a tar pit xD

[wet night]

cool

[opaque bobcat]

gud stuf

[robust token]

I ran towards the pit and placed down a workbench to stop spawning, and then dug the trenches

I would like to get a Lox so im just chilling there while taming them

Also I invested into a Black Metal Atgeir, it is very good against fulings, as you can stagger them and deal more damage while they stagger

[tacit crystal]

Also the best melee option against Lox.

[robust token]

Good to know!

[opaque bobcat]

next valheim charachter i do. i'm gonna try to stick to spears and a big shield.

see how that goes

[lament dove]

wish you luck

[tiny tiger]

Aw man of course I get my first raid when I’m afk and trying to get these pigs to breed

The 2 star and a regular survived but it’s taking piss getting them back to their enclosure

[zealous thicket]

Spear lovers unite :spearemoji:

[tacit crystal]

Spear and buckler combo goes hard. 💪

[tiny tiger]

Good news I found the other 2 star they both survived

[wet night]

you dont need to find other 2 star animal

you breed 2 star with 1 or 0 star and just wait for new 2 star appear

[signal bloom]

700hrs in, never seen a 2 star boar yet.

[crystal hatch]

Guys, is dungeons respawn after sometimes without mods?

[nocturne wolf]

Yellow mushrooms and royal jelly respawn. In most dungeons the enemies won’t respawn, but they do in infested mines.

[crystal hatch]

got it thanks

[signal bloom]

This was a fun surprise my 1st go round haha

[wet night]

actually you probably killed few already, but you dont even know that

because you 1 shot them

[stone elk]

Any tips for beating ashlands boss with melee?

[twilit saddle]

use berserker axes lighting it does much damage

but you need be careful when using it

[stone elk]

yea thats what im using

[signal bloom]

Perhaps - but I usually check before attacking

Never seen a 2 star askvin either

[wet night]

well it also depends how you spend 700 hours

you could literally sit 700 hours building a shack in your starting biom

[tacit crystal]

Primal Axes hit hard too and can immobilize.

[shy marlin]

Anything but blood really tbh

Blood requires too much of an investment for only a fraction of return

[tacit crystal]

Blood looks cool tho. Especially the Bleeding Slayer.

[solemn bridge]

I'm thinking of doing an ashlands cosplay, and I have a friend who is willing to 3D print me a helmet. Does anyone have an STL file for it, or know where I can get one?

I don't 3D print and don't really know where to look

[rain tapir]

How long does it breed a boar

[tiny tiger]

As in how long does it take for 2 boars with food to breed?

[rain tapir]

i mean tame

[tiny tiger]

Taming takes 30 mins without interruption

[light moat]

30 minutes uninterrupted I think?

Beat me to it

[opal gyro]

who wanna play?

[wet night]

You probably

[shy marlin]

I agree it’s aesthetics are unmatched but mechanically?

[tacit crystal]

Secondary hit can deal lots of extra damage when on half HP for example.

[shy marlin]

Juice ain’t worth the squeeze

Playing with 3hp foods, purposely losing hp and spending time doing that just means you could’ve killed it faster with lightning or root

The dps of blood is very misleading

Because all of the calculations avoid the set up time and are just like “big number”

[rain flare]

Blood magic weapons are honestly just trolls

I like the swords cause they look cool but practically, I’ll just use another weapon

[wet night]

Its just another weapon that is bad by numbers but have high coolnes factor

[mild hemlock]

am I cooked? have to go through a plains to get to Moder

[wet night]

No, you are fine and its something normal in this game

[stone elk]

if you have good mountain gear, the plains are not a big deal

[mild hemlock]

time to farm i suppose

[signal bloom]

There is a means to significantly shorten the taming duration but I won't spoil it.

[wet night]

no problem, i can spoil it. You need to go and buy item from bog witch and create a mead that shortens taming duration

I guess that guy will no longer see the reason to play anymore after such spoiler

[signal bloom]

Yep 100% lol

[rain tapir]

lool ill just wait it out

and i finished a 2 star and a no star boar tamed and in the same pen

[tiny tiger]

Haha literally did exact same thing today

[rain tapir]

kk im done i have a 2 star piggy and a 2 star adult kill the no star and then breed the 2 2 star boars

issue is its on another island and i want to to bring it to my main base

[tiny tiger]

Yeah that may be difficult

You could try with harpoon and sailing across depending on the distance

[rain tapir]

its far

[tiny tiger]

May be better to just set up a farming area over there then

If you make it your main food place with crops and making food there you’ll have enough time in that area for them to populate

That’s my plan on my world anyway, it’s on the main spawn island for me but it’s like right in the middle of the continent and I cba trying to bring them over to my main base which isn’t too permanent anyway

[chrome badge]

Or at the very least, breed multiples of 2 star boars, so you aren't taking a big risk by bringing them by boat.

[wet night]

Its highly possible that your animals may be killed when your base is raided

So you could make additional mini base just for breeding/farming purposes and join it to your main base by teleports

[idle crane]

Having a farm on a diffrent island isent a bad idea. But with Raids events it's best to barn up your pigs and have a good wall defence. I like to make a vault for a couple pigs for that just incase emergency. You can make a ramp and boat your pigs over just go slow and keep away from bad guys they Will agro and jump ship.

[rain tapir]

I have a big pen for the boars on my base but i might have to rebuild it on the other island

[rare haven]

how hard is it to move my world on LAN to a dedicted server hoster

[chrome badge]

I believe you'll need to move the world save file from your Valheim single-player folder to the dedicated server's world directory, and that's it.

[rare haven]

could you/anyone reccomened a hosting site, I tried before but it was so unclear and hard to find where to put the file in.

[chrome badge]

I had great success using g-portal, but it was a long time ago and I'm unsure of how good the experience is now.

[wet night]

[hazy seal]

tbh i recall devs promising one update before deep north (aka 1.0 release) to be added, but they didn't say what they want to add

my theory is the ocean update, it's the most barren, the most empty and boring biome to be in, serving no other purpose than forcing you to use the boat to get from point A to B (you can fish, but so can you do this in any other biome and even if you want to fish here, you're likely just there for a bit and then never again)

[merry pebble]

I do not think they did really 🤔 or at least i have no recolection of it

[tiny tiger]

You know what would be cool, ocean dungeons that rise above the water during storms, giving you access into them and an incentive to explore the oceans when it’s raining

[hardy tree]

Hello vikings :D, brand new here, wondering if any insider intell on next steam sale. I'm 900 hours in and raring for another playthrough with my irl friends, and were waiting on the sale to dive in.

[tiny tiger]

I see people sometimes complain about the inconvenience of rainy days, so having something that can only be accessed during those would give you something available that is unique to the ocean biome and it being stormy

[hazy seal]

i doubt that would be remotely logical

[tiny tiger]

Like what? The undead draugr not dying because they angy?

[hazy seal]

the world on itself has logic, but how does a dungeone appear with no ground to support it where you're very likely to drown

[tiny tiger]

Like it rises out the ocean floor and the ocean floor around it rises with it

[hazy seal]

huh????

do you have any idea how oceans actually work?

[tiny tiger]

It just have to give the illusion of it and you won’t see this anyway as it’s all beneath the waves and it’s stormy

[hazy seal]

when a storm happens, nothing but the waves are rising

if anything if its stormy it should hide the dungeon even more

[exotic cradle]

If it's "another" doesn't it mean you have it

[tribal trench]

I have the blade!!!!

[hazy seal]

as the waves are burying it

[tiny tiger]

Imagine a reverse leviathan island that rises when it’s stormy rather than sinks when it’s been hit enough times

[merry pebble]

Valheim is usually on sale with the big steam sales 🙂

[merry pebble]

I assume its more for those friends to buy 😉

[exotic cradle]

Just skip beers next friday voila

[merry pebble]

But... Beer...

[exotic cradle]

but...............owning valheim permanently>peeing out the beer in 20 min

[tacit crystal]

Buy some bulk beer instead of anything too fancy? Bit cheaper.

[hardy tree]

Oh tyvm for the reply! I'm unfamiliar with when those occur so i will research it, appreciate you.

[hardy tree]

Yes but my irl friends also need it silly. How else will they explore valheim, a valkyrie picking them up?

Now I'm imagining a Valkyrie Uber service.

[exotic cradle]

Like this, silly

[quiet robin]

skip beers? What are you, some kind of heretic? 😛

[exotic cradle]

I'm just saying it's cheap enough as is >_>

[merry pebble]

True that 😄

[quiet robin]

well, if they can't afford beer AND the game, time to get a jay oh bee then.

(or they not old enough for the beer, in which case more parental begging and whining required. (or more chores)) 😄

[rain tapir]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/oa50s4/breeding_tower_build_video/ 4 years old is this still good?

[merry pebble]

I do believe there was some changing to breed towers not that long ago so probably not

[quiet robin]

just use the one pen (large hole), dirt wall separating, then when tame, remove the middle wall. smiple.

breeding askvin now... deep hole, high walls. very very high walls. the little buggers love to do pyramids. Big pyramids. 😄

[hardy tree]

@merry pebble thank you so much likely it will go on sale in two days! And sorry to stir the cauldron, however some people farm carrots with their offspring, others are raiding fortresses for their living. Me I'm humble and just want to expose my greatest friends to the world of valheim, I've already put in 40$ over my 900 hours and cant wait to put in another sum pot.

[quiet robin]

900hrs? moar play, less talkietalk. 😛 I've got.... 2341 hrs. being retired has some benefits. 😄

[rain tapir]

i dont understand this

i just need a way to breed boar fasts so i can farm boar meat

[merry pebble]

Just make a big fenced area and drop food for them once in a while 🙂 works well enough

[quiet robin]

just a single pen will do for boars. no need to do anything fancy. 10x10 will do fine.

[rain tapir]

okie okie sounds good

[rain tapir]

10 by 10 is wild

[merry pebble]

That is quite small imo 🤔 thats 5 x 5 normal floors, not really that big so you will reach cap very quickly

[quiet robin]

I've done larger. the hmm.. how many can I breed... 🙂 just wait for the little piggies to escape.

[quiet robin]

10x10 floors. floors, walls, whatever.

[tepid prawn]

bigly pyramids! 🤣

[merry pebble]

Ah, thats 20m x 20m then 😄 the normal floors are 2x2

[rain tapir]

if anything should i make a 10 by 10 underground farm then?

use less materials and low maintience

[quiet robin]

askvin be strong! want escape. and acrobatic to boot. 😄

[merry pebble]

10floors by 10 floors? Sure, doesent need ot be underground really, a roof and walls will do if you dont want flying mobs to kill them

[quiet robin]

my bad, I didn't say meters. when I think 10x10 I'm thinking the blocks. (that's how I count off making building etc. easier on the old brain.

[tepid prawn]

I m sad that I prefer the colour of the 1 star over the 2 star haha

[quiet robin]

but they're, they're... green! (bonus points for getting the reference) 🙂

[tepid prawn]

hahaha

I just bought a new iphone case in "1 star Askvin" colour 🙂

[quiet robin]

(it's a star trek reference btw, but who's line?)

[tepid prawn]

I watched so much ST i don't remember who said it

[quiet robin]

Scotty when trying to out drink a Klingon (I think) pulled out a bottle, when asked what it was, "it's, it's.... green!" ) heh.

[tepid prawn]

yeah I thought it was from original enterprise

[quiet robin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQAG0JEb718

Data said to Scotty as well.

[wet night]

what do you mean by "wondering if any insider intell on next steam sale."?

[vocal rivet]

Pretty clear honestly. They want to know when the game will next be on sale.

[lament nest]

Hello. I was just wondering how often do fuling raids happen? I've defeated the correct elders and am in the plains and have raids turned up but I haven't experienced one yet.

[merry pebble]

It is random really 🙂 you might not even get any the whole playthroguh if you are lucky and/or are progressing quickly

[lament nest]

I see. I'm interested in experience one so I've literally stopped progressing XD Thanks for the feedback.

[wet night]

you think you gonna experience some kind of cool base / tower defence?

not in this game

[exotic cradle]

Why are you this way

[halcyon depot]

Hey! Can someone tell me .. when Dvegr guys get wiped out by seekers in their towers do they ever respawn?

[nocturne wolf]

Dvergr rogues may spawn randomly nearby but Dvergr don’t specifically respawn in these towers

At least the component crate is all yours now

[halcyon depot]

so i can basicly be squatter in dose towers 😛

ofcours after i destroy wards ... with cart :p

[median ivy]

Is there even a point to making a crossbow over a bow? I know they do more damage, but the fact it doesn't stay loaded when you put it back (or so I've heard) seems to be a downside for me. I don't know too much about the reload speed though.

[tacit crystal]

Low skill level in crossbows is better than low skill level in bows, comparing the damage per shot, the draw/reload speed and stamina usage.
The idea is keeping the crossbow at hands loaded with bolt ready to shoot. Realistically I wouldn't leave a loaded gun on my back without safety catch.

[median ivy]

Well, I'm sure crossbows normally have that even old versions
Thanks a lot. I'll prolly craft one later

[nimble moss]

Crossbow is higher alpha attack, great for first hit. Crossbow less stamina. And crossbow is “hitscan”, so great for sniping very long distances.

[tacit crystal]

Crossbows also have huge knockback when hitting mobs so you can keep one floating enemy in distance away from you as it doesn't get to move towards you.

[lament nest]

Not really. I just like seeing what's in the game in general.

[halcyon depot]

gjall went down 3 times fast with it .. it is irritating slow loading but pays out dmg wise... btw made him and used him first time today

[rain flare]

Same thing with magic - slow recharge, but everything gets better with skill level

High skill crossbows are BEASTS 🔥

[plush umbra]

Anyone else have stick drift only in this game?

Always drifts up (camera)

[hardy terrace]

is there any black mage enemy in valheim ? i swear i just saw one then disappeared

[slender bay]

Odin is watching...

[hardy terrace]

what does that mean ? o.O

[plush umbra]

i hope there a gold mineral on north

cause ive seen one in the beggining

[rain tapir]

hi guys im back

boar pen is amazing, not fully done yet but i cleard out the medows around the area deforested it and i have around 400 stones so i might make a big barrrier gate around the pen and make it a small little farm

how can i send images?

also i have like 600+ wood maybe even 1k

[slender bay]

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

[rain tapir]

what does mods do for yur game can i aply it to my own world? i playu on steam

is it possible to make a sandbox mod? for testing?

[light moat]

You’ve seen gold ore? 🤔

[vocal rivet]

Mods mostly ruin the game.

[rain tapir]

i mean like if i make a seed and just enable mods for like sandbox to test out not for my main character

[shy marlin]

All mods are trash never touch mods there are nothing good about mods grr i hate mods

[vocal rivet]

Probably. You could ask in #mods-discussion

Not sure why you'd need a mod for that though.

[rain tapir]

bet i just wanna try and see how to design different pens and gates and all

[vocal rivet]

You can do that in any world.

[rain tapir]

yeah but with mods to have unlimited like items and just see how much i need to have on me and to use

or how much to farm

rn i have 400+ stone and 1000+ wood

[vocal rivet]

Again, don't need mods for that. Either use creative mode or spawn stuff in.

[rain tapir]

whats creative mode?

and how do you spawn things in?

also whats eitr?

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers is worth a read.

[vocal rivet]

It's a material you find in Mistlands.

[rain tapir]

no where near close nvm them lool thanks

[rain tapir]

ahhhh im doing pretty decent with friends on a hard + server

[plush umbra]

the raven delivering u at start

[light moat]

Think you must’ve seen something else, there’s no gold ore in the game currently 👀

[plush umbra]

yah maybe lol cause the scales its yelllow and shiny

[heady parcel]

Dang it, got a "you got the chills" raid while working on my shroomfarm. I have built right next to a dvergr tower because the dvergr have been excellent at keeping the area clear of seekers, but they were sadly decimated by Geirhafa and her cronies. Gotta build some defences now...

[fringe laurel]

The fact that I know not a single thing you said makes me so excited for future biomes
I’m finishing swamps on play through 1 and have done really well to have near zero spoilers for the game.

[heady parcel]

That's lovely! Enjoy, going blind is always the way - although sometimes it hurts!

[snow rover]

Only good mod I've seen adds tuba music when you are overloaded

[exotic cradle]

Thread uses that!

[inland wraith]

how to get that maypole? I've never seen one

[heady parcel]

||There is one or two on each world, found in ruined Meadows villages. You can also craft it during the Midsommar event.||

[tacit crystal]

Not in all seeds though.

[inland wraith]

would it be displayed on the seed-map?

[tacit crystal]

Yes you can filter them in world generator site.

[inland wraith]

welp, so i dont got one xD

[tacit crystal]

Well, June/Midsommar isn't that far anymore. 👍

[heady parcel]

Oh I didn't know you could end up with none, I've had a few worlds with two and one on the rest.

The world spawned ones tend to be in locations you don't want to build anyways

[tacit crystal]

They are quite rare to be generated in certain seeds. I've seen maybe one seed with 3 possible maypole locations but most have had none.

[wet night]

ive got one in my starting biome in location good for making a base, but when i saw it for the first time i had no idea what it is so i thought: "meh, kind of ugly" and i created base elsewhere

[inland wraith]

thought i can sneak one myself from another world, walked all the way, repaired it with hammer, disassembled, gone xD

[heady parcel]

I'm having problems finding infested mines this time around. I really don't want to check a map but gods the terrain is such a nightmare before you have the fall cloak.

[earnest field]

Hi does anyone has issues with tamed lox ? Mine is 4 stars and is stuck/bugged. I cannot move properly when I ride it but when it's free it can easily rush ennemies.

[heady parcel]

4 stars?

[pliant hatch]

Since 4 stars aren't possible in Vanilla, I suggest you ask around over here in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966.

It's most likely a mod issue you're dealing with.

[opal prairie]

Noon gjall.

[heady parcel]

Noon!

[fossil owl]

is the black metal axe good vs Yagluth?

as it does slash dmg

[nocturne wolf]

It won't be as good as a silver sword or black metal sword, but isn't the worst option

[fossil owl]

I see, anything will be better than bow xd

[tacit crystal]

Or any else pierce dealing weapon too. Frostner is also a good option.

[near furnace]

Yagluth is a skeleton and not a living creature

[pearl horizon]

Yeah, I mean, go figure 😂

[rancid echo]

Hello! Why do raspberries trigger the sword skill? What do they have to do with one another

[nocturne wolf]

What do you mean exactly? Picking raspberries is raising your sword skill?

[vocal rivet]

Well, that shouldn't happen.

[azure yacht]

No

[near furnace]

you use any mods?

[light moat]

Raspberry sword 🗡️ ||it’s delicious||

[final hinge]

I should have kept a tally of how many times I have seen Run Level 50 pop up during this run. It's both amusing and depressing every time I see it.

[regal spoke]

Evidence of skill die back. Sigh relatable

[mighty topaz]

do we know how close the big next update is?

[vocal rivet]

Nope.

[light moat]

It’s probably a decent ways away

[mighty topaz]

and if i do start my playthru soon and the update comes to be able to play the new content i would have to make a new world for the new biom and stuff right?

[vocal rivet]

You've never had to so far. Just leave the North a wide berth and you'll be fine.

[light moat]

As long as you don’t explore the Deep North biome, you should be good. However, it’s not a guarantee.

[azure yacht]

Yes

[mighty topaz]

but is it worth it to start my playthru soon then and do it again when the update is out or just wait for now?

[vocal rivet]

That's entirely up to you and how fast you play.

[azure yacht]

yes

[exotic cradle]

loads up ms paint

[mighty topaz]

considering i would coop with my gf and we get to play here and there id say slower with like idk 5 hours or so per weeek xd if so

[tacit crystal]

You can start now and start then again. Or if you start now, leave the furthest North area unexplored so the new content for DN is generated normally there when the 1.0 is there and continue your world.

[ashen bluff]

Which weapon type should I be focusing? I want to use a shield too

[tacit crystal]

Anything that fancies you, really. But I recommend trying out different damage types.

[nocturne wolf]

Maces are a good option because their secondary attack has damage, knockback and stagger multipliers making it useful for many situations

[rugged mica]

I put my uncooked lox pie in the oven, I stand and wait nearby till it's cooked. As soon as it's cooked I snatch it back out of the oven and... A slice has been stolen? What's living in my oven? What is carnovorous and fireproof? Whats everyones theories?

[nocturne wolf]

You just had to make sure it had been cooked properly 🍽️

[ashen bluff]

Maces you mean clubs?

[vocal rivet]

Pretty sure it's just an art choice.

[rugged mica]

Always get the literal answers from you Derek 🥲 Where's your sense of wonder and adventure?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, one-handed clubs. The first one doesn't have a secondary attack but the others do

[ashen bluff]

🤔 in case monster has resistances? I guess I'll do sword and club maybe

[opal prairie]

Surtling cores are used as part of the oven, I suspect that has something to do with it.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, different mobs can have weaknesses or resistances to certain damage types. It is indicated by the color of the damage number:
Yellow = mob is weak against that damage type,
White = not weak nor resistant (aka normal) and
Grey = mob is resistant.

[latent hinge]

Wraiths. I'm sure they can pass through solid matter and can't feel hot/cold

[tacit crystal]

Swords and clubs are solid. 👍

[radiant tree]

Tried starting naked in the plains. Discovered a fuling stone tower empty on an island with two fuling villages and a quarter dark forest. Created a new character. Portalled there with no resources. It’s been a real challenge!

[wet night]

they cant, they just fly

[chrome badge]

Odin gets a slice of every pie, it's the real reason he's lingering about.

[unique helm]

I wish there was an easy way to make smooth slopes

[final hinge]

You must master the hoe

[light moat]

Have you tried holding shift while you level with a hoe?

[ripe dock]

I wish they would fix fighting on inclines

[shy marlin]

Yea probably will never happen because the community is scared of being able to cheese combat (there’s already a million ways to cheese combat)

[unique helm]

Bonemass literally has a huge safespot right in the middle of his arena lmao

[shy marlin]

And one dev played a shit mod that “fixed” inclined combat and now thinks the fix would be the worst thing that ever happens to the game 😂 ( #general message )

Queen has a in game dev supported safe spot too

[latent hinge]

does that mod still work? i'd love to use it :3

[shy marlin]

Could ask in mods discussions

[ripe dock]

lol wut..the fighting on inclines thing is the only real gripe I have, but its funny that enemies can still hit you no matter what Y level they're on

[shy marlin]

And the current system with sloped combat also buffs ranged weapons more, as if they need to be stronger…

[chrome crown]

how do i get to a bossfight?

[unique helm]

Theres a stone at spawn that will ping the first boss fight on the map for you

[nocturne wolf]

They absolutely can't, or jumping wouldn't be effective

[shy marlin]

Just depends on the enemy

[final hinge]

The queen doesn't even need it a safe spot. She's the only boss that has failed to kill somebody on my current server. The fight was a cool spectacle, but very easy for a prepped squad.

I wonder what they could do to make bosses harder. Starred enemies in their own biomes are usually harder than the bosses of those biomes.

A two star berserker once took out three of us, where Zil & Chungus failed to kill us once.

[shy marlin]

Don’t think they really can make bosses harder without adding too much complexity. What makes valheim hard is not the bosses but the progression and unique encounters with the enemies as you progress idk, also keep in mind vast majorities of players struggle with yag, fader and queen

[final hinge]

So i guess they get lumped in with the queen.

[unique helm]

The bosses appear easy because we're experienced. When the game first came out, bonemass was a huge hurdle, or at least what I can remember. People use to build way up into the swamp trees and shoot him with like 200 arrows... Maybe the problem isnt the game, but us as players.

[light moat]

I’m at 900 hours and still struggle with Queen 😅

[latent hinge]

my wife and i have only killed bonemass twice. it was a huge struggle each time. multiple deaths ensued :3

[light moat]

Yag actually got the better of me on my recent multiplayer run

[unique helm]

I havent played unmodded in a while, usually Epic loot makes bosses a joke once you get some decent enchanted gear lol.

[final hinge]

Lol the first time we took on bonemass it took 3 in-game days to kill it. We had a runner bringing us food and meads multiple times. But none of us had maces back then.

This shut-out was our first time fighting the queen because my group fizzled out and lost interest right before the final fight when we played for mistlands update. So it was a little underwhelming.

But then going to the ashlands was like a drawn out reenactment of d-day. So like I said, ups and downs. Maybe we have to accidently summon two bosses like we did the first time we fought Yagluth.

And accidently forget to swap out our elder buffs.

[rain flare]

It took my 3 friends and I a good hour plus to kill Yagluth the first time 😂
The ACURSED INSECTS kept kicking us down till we nearly ran out of barley wine 😂

[final hinge]

Does anybody still have their Yagluth_Placeholders? Do they still exist in the game?

[ripe dock]

Deathsquito fam rise up

I remember the first time we sailed to plains, and watching my friend get one shot by a squito

[nocturne wolf]

His item drop? They were replaced with the new one.

[final hinge]

Ah. I noticed that the original flametal is still in the game files so I wondered if the Yagluth's blue cube still was.

[tacit crystal]

It was changed into the real drop, so it cannot be found with commands.

Same with the Queen drop after Ashlands was added.

[azure yacht]

But that's not true...

[latent hinge]

from my experience it is. its especially noticeable when a draugr get stuck on top of a muddy pile in a buried chamber. i cant hit him, but he can definitely hit me as i try (and often fail because of stamina) to jump on top of the muddy pile with him to be able to hit him

[chrome badge]

https://x.com/Lumahlin/status/1890326338008944728 There is a tweet from Lumah that suggests some improvements with combat on differing levels are coming, at the very least with swords.

[azure yacht]

Because the character's model is at the sufficient height for the attack to hit you.

In my experience, I have seen draugr miss their attacks on targets (such as a workbench) by inches just because they stand on uneven terrain (higher than where the workbench is on)

So no, it totally isn't true.

You can even supposedly dodge attacks from some enemies by just jumping because they cannot aim up or down, just like the character

[latent hinge]

Because the character's model is at the sufficient height for the attack to hit you.
then why cant i hit him? 😦

[azure yacht]

The main and most important difference is the player can learn how to use that to their advantage, but mobs can't.

And it's also very easy to even exploit those mechanics with some weapons with aoe such as a sledge to hit them regardless of height or even through unbreakable terrain

[azure yacht]

Misaligned aiming probably.

The crosshair isn't reliable either

[latent hinge]

...right..

guess my eyesight just magically goes out the window when a draugr is on a muddy pile, but 100% fine in every other instance

[tribal trench]

The Queen fight is quite challenging and 100% of the time it's gonna be a sloped fight running up a staircase... This will be where you reinvent your approach to these situations for sure..

the drauger... I understand but we always carry a bow do we not?

[vocal rivet]

It is? I've never fought the queen on the staircase.

[tribal trench]

well from my experiece I was all over the place yes

[latent hinge]

i'm a beginner, so my bows are weak lol

speaking of. i made my first obsidian arrows last night. real excited about that

[tribal trench]

work up that skill at home if necessary is my suggestion because the thing is very handy

[latent hinge]

i need to do that for a lot of skills :3

at home, i mean. i think i've earned level 6 in swimming 10 times now (from dying so much lmao)

[unique helm]

I remember watching someone that made a "home gym" to AFK some skills.

[near furnace]

doesn't work anymore

[unique helm]

sadge

[near furnace]

if you want to cheat. just cheat with the dev commands :/

standing AFK for hours with a book on your attack button is basicly the same thing

but uses more electricity keeping your computer running 😅

[nocturne wolf]

What weapon are you using? Every attack has a different hitbox, some reach higher and lower than others

[latent hinge]

mace mostly. that thing hits like a truck

[violet nimbus]

okay.... i got warned for helping someone optimize their pc... weird..

[latent hinge]

no good deed goes unpunished

[violet nimbus]

all i did was help them fix their Bottlenecks

[final hinge]

Every crossbowmen worth his salt knows to either aim low or high, never where the cross hair is actually pointing though

[vocal rivet]

I'm sure you weren't warned for helping people.

[violet nimbus]

we both got flagged for streaming non Valheim content... i guess Windows Desktop is not valheim content

[near furnace]

not sure this is valheim content 🤔

[unique helm]

I mean if your streaming in this server about non valheim stuff, would make sense.

[violet nimbus]

okay then why was the other one flagged?

[near furnace]

I don't usually call people out like this. but you're trying to shift blame

[nocturne wolf]

Draugr axe hitbox has 0 width and is 1.2m above their feet
Mace primary and secondary will reach from 0.5-1.1m above your feet

[near furnace]

you can perfectly screenshare privatly in a direct message

[azure yacht]

Glad that I'm getting sarcastic responses from just mentioning a game issue (misaligned crosshair)

I'm sure it was necessary

[violet nimbus]

hmm

[latent hinge]

sounded more like a fancy way of saying "skill issue"

[vocal rivet]

In what possible way?

[azure yacht]

I have the same question...

Seriously, how could mentioning that the crosshair being misaligned (aka game design issue) translates to "you have skill issue lol".

[violet nimbus]

i understand my own Warning, but seriously... why warn the guy i was trying to help?

[azure yacht]

See, this is why I don't try it. People will read and understand whatever they want, regardless of what you say...

Unbelievable

[latent hinge]

because you're saying my aim is off and i need to correct my own actions. but i know my actions are fine because they literally work in every other instance. i know how a crosshair works. and the subject we're talking about has been a known issue for years. whether you agree with it being an issue or not is irrelevant. it exists, and is a problem for some (including myself)

[violet nimbus]

he was just streaming his windows Desktop

[azure yacht]

...

I can't, ffs

[unique helm]

Desktop isnt valheim. I doubt they want IT help being streamed in the server...

[vocal rivet]

Probably best to continue this over @dusky pivot now.

[azure yacht]

I 👉👉👉LITERALLY SAID👈👈👈 it's a GAME issue...

Gods...

[near furnace]

besides the fact he didn't stream valheim content, he shared alot of private information by showing his desktop.. like first name, last name, folders, files, private information etc

[latent hinge]

you're not acknowledging the other part of the convo where i'm literally saying the aim is fine in 99% of situations... if it was a crosshair/aiming issue then it would be a problem 100% of the time, not just the 1% when the enemy is above you

[vocal rivet]

Oh boy.

[near furnace]

we have deliberatly choosen the crosshair to work like that

[latent hinge]

what?

[near furnace]

YES WE HAVE

[latent hinge]

i'm not the one complaining about the crosshair.. its fine

[near furnace]

OK 😄

[vocal rivet]

No-one else was.

[violet nimbus]

And you are not acknowledging the part when I said that the crosshair is NOT reliable (aka it doesn't work properly SOMETIMES)

But considering I'm already out of patience the next time I will probably get banned for the wording so I will just make it easier (for me) because I cannot stand deliberate illiteracy

[near furnace]

i'm saying its the slope thing (that everyone else says). this guy comes at me saying my aim is wrong because crosshair is bugged. weird

[robust token]

Are we talking about bow's crosshair?

[violet nimbus]

with ForceOpenGL

[near furnace]

no. Billy posted a good link to that issue

Draugrs on piles

which is a very anoying issue since we have re-done that like 100 times 😦

[azure yacht]

Clearly not the rational kind so I stopped trying

[near furnace]

so they shouldn't spawn ontop or inside objects

[robust token]

Yeah I know that thing, you just have to aim a bit right

[latent hinge]

that would be ideal :3 slimes, too

[violet nimbus]

so... anyone going to tell me what happened?

like... i'm getting this error with OpenGL

[chrome badge]

Smiffe just said no it isn't about the bow's crosshair 🤔

okie

[near furnace]

seems it doesn't work anymore. I added it but it went back to vulkan

I was late to the chat and all I see was "crosshair"

Carry weight is such a problem in this game.

[vocal rivet]

It is? Have you bought the belt?

[tacit crystal]

It's really not. Keep playing and you will eventually find means to increase it.

[unique helm]

Never feels like enough tbh

Everything weighs a ton

[vocal rivet]

It's more than enough.

[rain flare]

The game is supposed to be that way
It’s why you are encouraged to find…
Alternative means of carrying heavy stuff.

Animals you can tame that have 0 issues with carrying a FULL inventory of the heaviest items, carts, boats, etc.

The game is supposed to be hard, a challenge to conquer

If it was easy, then it would be as enjoyable to conquer

[unique helm]

I dont think carry weight is a fun and engaging means of increasing difficulty or challenge. Just forces the player to play longer.

[vocal rivet]

Again, it doesn't. Either you only carry what you actually need, or you use carts or tames.

[rain flare]

True, but there are always other games with different types of challenges

If you like to be challenged in real life reflexes or cleaver tactical strategies, then you want to look for another game.

If you like working on your planning skills and carefully preparing before you do something - or face rather awful consequences - then this game is for you 🥳

One of the more… recent examples of this was me being an absolute idiot in the last biome - I got cocky and was summarily executed by a swarm of mobs 😅

The sneak of shame to my tombstone was not pleasant

[unique helm]

I have nothing but my equipment in my inventory and weigh 258/300

How am I meant to carry anything I find along the way?

[rain flare]

What on earth are you carrying my man?
A whole armoury? 😂

[rain flare]

The cart is your best friend here

I use them extensively when I go raiding new biomes - it give you an entire second inventory to fill up

[unique helm]

A stack of surtling cores are 50. Thats insane

[rain flare]

And it has a better carry capacity than you do

[unique helm]

I tagged you in screenshots

[vocal rivet]

Why are you sharing modded screenshots?

[unique helm]

Is it not allowed?

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-screenshots

If those coins still have weight in that coin slot, they might be the problem. Otherwise, it would probably be a modded item.

[rain flare]

I see - the issue I think is you have some modded gear in there
It’s adding to your carry weight by a bit

Also, you don’t need all those tools

[unique helm]

They have no weight in coin pouch

[rain flare]

The hoe and cultivator belong at home - not in your hot bar as you are exploring new biomes

[unique helm]

My backpack with the portal supplies weighs 150 on its own...

[vocal rivet]

HOW?

[rain flare]

Aaaaha!
Too many portal materials mixed in

[unique helm]

Sutrling core stack 50 a little over half a stack of fine wood, 76

[rain flare]

Carry enough to make a portal - then setup a forward base somewhere secure

[nocturne wolf]

You only need 20 finewood, 10 eyes and 2 cores

[rain flare]

Yup - I did the same when I started
It’s just too many materials for making a starter base

Build one portal at home and carry enough with you to make one more wherever you are going

It’s part of that challenge I was taking about - you need to plan how much you really need to take with you, and be selective when making a new base or outpost

Nothing too dangerous straight away, just close enough to the new biome so you can portal other materials over

Metals are always the hard part - I normally take just enough to place the essential crafting stations and nothing else

[unique helm]

MY first elder pin is literally halfway between spawn and the edge of the world

[azure yacht]

That just means it IS 100% and you thing, not the game

[vocal rivet]

That's rough. Definitely worth looking for another.

[azure yacht]

If you only need 20 finewood, 10 eyes and 2 surtling cores to build a portal but YOU decide to bring a stack of every one of those items just becase then guess where the problem lies

[unique helm]

You need 30 fine wood to make a boat, and 80 bronze nails...

[azure yacht]

Yes? And once you build the boat you get rid of all that weight...

[unique helm]

So until then, I am not allowed to pick up anything?

[azure yacht]

Don't tell me you are bringing all that stuff while in-land...

[unique helm]

when exploring, it would be nice to be able to throw down a boat if you come to the end of the land.

[plush umbra]

Hello friends, can you tell us how to light a fire at home?

[wet night]

then you put your teleport and bring boat materials from your base

[azure yacht]

Or you could leave the boat wherever you landed on, explore, and once you're done you just come back

[wet night]

you create a firepit and thats it

[azure yacht]

I'm being proven correct more and more as time passes

#suggestion-discussion message

What's that?

Its tediousness and time consuming thats all. Its boring running back and forth all the time. I get that some people find that fun, but personally I don't.

You don't have to run anywhere.

[wet night]

there are ways to increase your weight capacity

[plush umbra]

Can you help me when you don't know how to make a buddy?

[wet night]

also at some point you should notice that its no longer worth to gather many items and you just leave them

[wet night]

you dont know how to build a firepit?

[plush umbra]

no ı dont now

[wet night]

you need to create a hammer

and use it from your inventory

[vocal rivet]

They have no need to make a firepit at this point. A campfire would be fine.

[unique helm]

Thats what they meant

[wet night]

i was thinking about that for 5 stone and 2 wood

[vocal rivet]

Those are two very different items.

[unique helm]

Yeah, and they wont see a firepit in their build menu if they havent even made a hammer yet

[plush umbra]

Isn't there a video bro, I have a hammer, I can't set fire to the house anyway

[unique helm]

You cant make a fire on a wooden floor, has to be on the ground

[wet night]

there is plenty of videos on youtube

you can sharescreen your game on voice chat eventually

and i will tell you what is going on

[plush umbra]

I couldn't find the video. If you have it, can you send it to me?

[wet night]

no i cant

[azure yacht]

True, they should implement a way of instant travel between locations, something like portals

[vocal rivet]

Why do you need a video to build one of the first items in the game?

[unique helm]

Hold hammer, right click, misc tab, campfire...

[wet night]

because he is trolling

[vocal rivet]

Huh? I don't think they're the one trolling.

Figured that out from this

[heady parcel]

VICTORY! After nearly 2k hours I finally got my first serpent trophy by harpooning one and drag it to shallow water, I've always managed to botch it before. Whoop!

From one thing to another - night-spawned fulings in the Black Forest at night are the sneakiest bunch of assassins I've ever come across. Suddenly they're just there hacking at me, nearly scared me out of my chair

[abstract warren]

Does the trophy sink otherwise?

[abstract warren]

Fulings can spawn in the black forest..?

[nocturne wolf]

When yagluth has been killed they will spawn in black forest at night

[abstract warren]

Oh cool

[merry pebble]

Yep

[abstract warren]

Cool

Makes for a nice challenge

[paper spire]

I live on the plains, almost on the border with the forest and have never noticed. They can just run far into the woods hunting deer and gradwarves.

clean your PC carefully, use the FPS limiter ingame and/or do what Rianu said

a healthy graphics card doesn't make that kind of noice levels

2 diff elder locaters pointing to the same spawn halfway across the world... smh

[floral moon]

if i have workbench anywhere in world, the areas around it would never despawn right?

yess like my chests

[plush umbra]

they never despawn even without a workbench, the game never resets areas

[floral moon]

ohhh thank u for info!

[signal slate]

Thank you... silly me.

Was in Xbox

[sullen trout]

Hello guys, If I fish a school of fish does it respawn at the same location?

[regal spoke]

Fish like anything else are random I believe?

[wooden tapir]

no there are fish spawn locations, they usually respawn in same small pools. at least it seems that way from my experiences

not 100% sure but ive spent probably 50 hours fishing and most of the time they were spawning in same small areas

[regal spoke]

Cool. I don't fish much to be fair

[heady parcel]

Wait, am I reading this right - that if I smack down a workbench to spawn-proof an area, and it gets demolished by a mob - that particular area would still be spawn proofed even though the workbench is no longer there? If that is what you meant, that must be unintended, no?

[nimble moss]

huh? this is not correct - items despawn after 2 in game days if not protected by player object in area like workbench, campfire etc.

In fact - its even worse than this - if you have items on the ground for 2+ days protected by a workbench, and the workbench dies (or your destroy it), the items will disappear almost instantly because they are now 2+ days old without protection

[nimble moss]

the original comment to yours is not correct.

[heady parcel]

Gotcha, I'll go back to sleep then!

[plush umbra]

items, yes, but this was about chests

[nimble moss]

it read like it was responding to this? all good then

[plush umbra]

no, if the workbench breaks, things won't be spawnproofed anymore, i wrote that at like 2 am

[plush umbra]

items around a workbench don't despawn, yea?

[heady parcel]

Aaah right, yeah chests are structures. But mobs target them so they tend to get smacked to smithereens if out in the open.

[nimble moss]

yes, but then you wrote "they never despawn even without a workbench, the game never resets areas"

[plush umbra]

yes, i should've clarified that even a workbench alone shouldn't be relied on

[nimble moss]

hence the confusion - maybe two different conversations - all good

[plush umbra]

yea i meant to their chest-specific response, but i should've been clearer in general

even a chest is eventually gonna be attacked by a monster if it's not hidden and then the stuff inside despawns anyway

[rain flare]

Rule of thumb for ingame and real life:
Don’t leave things lying around where sticky fingered thieves can get at them 😂

[vocal rivet]

No, fish spawn randomly like everything else.

[robust token]

man, what are the chances

found Yagluth's place without the veg

[plush umbra]

a common experience since his vegvisirs are so rare 😅

[robust token]

lol

[exotic cradle]

one: tiny stone
other: big stone

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[rain flare]

Vegvisir is rare, Yagluth altar is ENORMOUS 😂

[lusty dirge]

In my latest playthrough, the Yagluth Vegvisir was on the very first tiny patch of plains I discovered while searching for a swamp. I think never bevor have I found the vegvisir bevor the altar.

[rain flare]

I always find that stupid alter without the vegvisir
Sometimes you even find a vegvisir…
Next to the altar 😂

[robust token]

I got lucky, I was just sailing by and saw the finger stones

now for the hard part, killing it

[opal prairie]

I've had that happen as well, looking all over the plains, slaying countless of fulings and not finding a vegvisir.
Seeing the altar in the distance and while going towards it, spotting a structure that could have a vegvisir so I checked it out and lo and behold, a vegvisir while looking at the altar.

[tribal trench]

whats this... a Dvergr Trophy?? HA I just got some Dvergr wiskers lol

[surreal rain]

Is there a reason that the workbenches have such a small range?

[robust token]

Gjall got any tips for a windmill setup? The wiki said it's better to build it in the Plains, since it's more windy there, but Plains is pretty dangerous imo. :/

[surreal rain]

Built mine in the meadows, they're working fine, we are on the coast though.

[wispy latch]

Raise ground and build the windmill on top of steep hills

I use the same method with the fields so they are safe from Fulings and Lox

[azure yacht]

They don't.

20m is neither good, nor terrible. It's enough

[latent hinge]

doesnt the range get bigger the more you level it up? or maybe thats one of my many mods doing that.

[light moat]

Yep, the workbench radius improves pretty well with its upgrades.

And they’re all pretty inexpensive too

[surreal rain]

I don't find it anywhere near enough. I would like a workbench to cover my base, it doesn't go anywhere near. But that's by the by, there's not really a reason then. That's fine, just wondered.

[light moat]

What do you mean by cover your base? Like for building purposes?

[surreal rain]

Pretty much

[light moat]

Or for spawnproofing?
Ah, gotcha. Do you have it maxed out using improvements?

[surreal rain]

No, not bothered about spawn proofing anywhere near as much. I get stuck into my building and hate having to move the bench around (stone, basic one, etc)

[wet night]

no, you can easly be 100% safe in plains. You can simply dig a trench around with some walls and even some roofs for yourself to never meet any mosqitos

that way you will literally never even meet any opponent while doing your farming

[latent hinge]

sorry for the delay, i got a 10 minute timeout for linking to the official valheim wiki :3

what i was trying to say was, according to the wiki, i was right above. the workbench gains 4 meters at each level. a max of 36 meters at level 5.

[light moat]

Ahh I see. Could always put a second workbench with more improvements to cover more area- your base must be pretty large I imagine

[surreal rain]

I wouldn't consider it large, I could easily expand. Valheim is a very pretty game to build in, but the workbenches are a tad irritating for building

[latent hinge]

i remember when i started out i overlapped like 4-5 workbenches to cover a large area lol - now i just stick inside the one but make multiple bases all over the world

[surreal rain]

But its got such good building, I seriously couldn't see myself doing that. I have five basic workbenches buried around my base right now, its not enough

[light moat]

When starting a project, I like to lay out around 3 or so staging areas to encompass an area- usually just a small area with a workbench and a stonecutter. Towards the tail end of the project, I’ll bring in the forges that are necessary. It makes me feel like I’m doing an actual construction project

[surreal rain]

I like that!

[azure yacht]

Then build the workbench upgrades

[exotic cradle]

bury them underground

[surreal rain]

I have. I just wondered if there was a reason for such a limitation, it doesn't appear there is, that's fine.

[azure yacht]

Can't see the point of having it increased if it's fine as it is, and you can increase it further with upgrades.

The radius also works as a spawn prevention radius. If it was bigger you could very easily spawn proof your base with little planning on where to place the benches

[surreal rain]

I can see the point, because I don't think its fine as is, but then we probably build differently, which is great frankly because if everyone built the same in this game, I'd never have any build videos to watch for inspiration.

[robust token]

Other than most build videos are done in "Creative Mode" xD
But yeah, I usually place Workbench around the place that I want to build, Stonecutter and Forge might be a bit tricky as it takes Iron or Bronze.

[surreal rain]

I'll just have to stick with moving them around for now; maybe they will change that in the future.

[robust token]

I made another greydwarf farm today and I wanted to use some iron bars in the build, I had to rip out my existing forge for a moment lol

[robust token]

Maybe, maybe not. Since their radius correspond to their spawn proof radius.

[surreal rain]

Good point

[robust token]

It's a way for the devs to balance them that way, although I do agree it's annoying to build when getting out of the radius of the workstations

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-what-it-is-it-is-eet-eet-iz-iz-gif-17896182

It is what it is

[surreal rain]

its still in development, time for lots of things to roll in yet.

it won't put me off the game

[azure yacht]

Even if they increased it, others will come and still say it's not enough and that they should increase it. So they should increase the radius every times some asks?

A line was drawn, and we got upgrades increasing the radius as a middle ground

Meaning that the solution is already there

[surreal rain]

No, and I never said that they should, nor have I asked. I don't consider it big enough, I raised the query, I got some interesting answers, I particularly liked @light moat 's construction project solution.

I googled it, the radius increase isn't very much, I hope they increase it in the future. Since the game is in preview, its a possibility I will look out for. I'm sure there's plenty of things other people would like see that they'll look out for too.

[opaque bobcat]

I feel like people who need more than five workbenches just haven't built their house high enough.

[surreal rain]

You could have point there lol.

I admit I like to spread outwards rather than upwards. I'll consider a project taking that in.

[opaque bobcat]

To each their own, I like my towers

hi

[frank berry]

this game can be so brutal at times.. spent 30/40 mins this morning find and taming 4/5 boar only to have a skeleton raid kill them in 2 mins 🫠

[light moat]

That reminds of the time I was building boar barn- its main feature was utilizing 6 raspberry bushes for an easy feeding option! However, during construction I was raided by trolls and in one swipe, all 6 bushes were destroyed

[pearl horizon]

Tragic

[frank berry]

Boars can eat directly from a bush? That would make taming a bit easier

[tacit crystal]

No they cannot.

[light moat]

Like Joel said, they can’t, but being able to interact with a bush and just leave the berries for them allows for easier feeding. Not a huge boon or anything, but it’s pretty fancy!

[halcyon depot]

i mean really guys noone told me the magic is a game changer 🙂

dose pesky bugs are walk in a park

and no more need to farm bombs

[light moat]

I’m trying out magic on my current playthroughs, it’s been pretty fun!

[latent hinge]

is that a mod?

[halcyon depot]

any tips for magic ?

[light moat]

Felt a little weak at first? But with just few levels in, I started to see some good damage

[light moat]

Nope, it’s vanilla. I won’t spoil it for you though 👀

||My advice, learn how to use the staff of protection effectively, and make sure you upgrade it!|| magic spoiler stuff

[halcyon depot]

oh ye i went full eitr regen and upgraded the protection and ember staff first

is there another was to lvl up blood magic exept casting protection on your self .. i mean blood maigc skil is like 3... and elemental is allrdy on 20+

way not was .... typo

[light moat]

Nice! I’m far from an expert with Eitr myself, so I probably don’t have any good tips 😅 I just keep the 4 Eitr (Mistlands currently) on me at all time for a wide range of options. 2 Eitr food and 1 stam is what I use now.

Just letting ||skeletons March around with you through some early biomes and let them kill things|| has been my method. Usually while I’m out collecting wood or berries or something.

Elemental will likely just be higher in most cases.

[halcyon depot]

efectivly how ? i ussually use it 20-30 sec before it ends and/or if i get hit and have to kite them so i can renew it and get rdy to pew pew with ember

[light moat]

In my case, just remembering to have it up LOL that been the biggest cause of death for me. Jumping backwards then casting it is useful.

[halcyon depot]

yea right not even using dose skelletons ... im on Mistlands also

and food wise im using 1 hp 1 eitr 1 stam if im roaming around and 1 hp 2 eitr if im fighting

[final hinge]

Haven't been able to get into magic. Tried it a few times but it's not for me as a main playstyle. I like to hit things with pointy sticks.

[halcyon depot]

on my first playthrough and i really do like it

going to try that skeletons

[tacit crystal]

Utilise your movement while casting with them staves. One biggest benefit for being mage is that you have 2 different resource bars (stamina & eitr) which other you use solely for movement/evading enemy attacks and other for dealing damage.
Cast protection staff beforehand, upgrading the staff increases the timer of the shield. Jump casting again when shield goes off is helpful. Having jump and run potions help also a lot.

[halcyon depot]

im using lingering mead 90% of the time and have to try that jumping thing since feather cloak debufs me with -20 % .. oh ye and fire ress if Gjall is in questiong

[tacit crystal]

You mean feather cape granting you -20% less jump stamina cost? Jump potion also gives same stat which stacks, and also some jump height.

[terse wagon]

Good morning fellow vikings

[tacit crystal]

Fire damage can be countered with fire barley wine or with shield staff.

[halcyon depot]

ye im using barly vine and was reading wrong feather stamina thing .. i was thinking my stamina consumption is increased... good good i get it now...

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, jump potion grants -30% to jump stamina cost, with cape's -20% total jump cost would be 5 stamina instead of basic 10.

Math is mathing.

[halcyon depot]

ye i read it wrong on the cape ... english is not my native language so think that helped a bit to missunderstand

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry, I'm not native speaker either. 👍

[fleet needle]

This little guy needs adding to the head of the fuling gang stripe off of gremlins movie 🙂

[vocal rivet]

I can see the resemblance but he probably needs to remain in his own universe.

[ashen bluff]

If I'm running away and tried to go sneaky, do the monster stop seeing me/chasing me?

[nocturne wolf]

Sneaking doesn’t help to stop enemies that have already seen you

[opaque bobcat]

Eventually, if you get out their range of vision

[ashen bluff]

Thanks, that is a bummer, I thought we could go Skyrim mode and just hit and run

[opaque bobcat]

I mean you can

It's just not as smooth as Skyrim

[nocturne wolf]

Killing the enemy is the best way to stop aggro

[opaque bobcat]

Had to do that when I was killing lox with a finewood bow and fire arrows.

[shy marlin]

Offense is the best defense ahhh situation

[regal spoke]

Fr

[wheat umbra]

is it possible to solo the game?

i played with people before but i wanna know if going solo is possible

[nocturne wolf]

The game is primarily balanced around solo play

[regal spoke]

Arguably performs better solo as well

[signal bloom]

Ashlands: hold my beer 🤣

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands too

[signal bloom]

Im joking cause a lot of posts online are people raging how ashlands is impossible solo

[wet night]

They are just bad players then

[wispy latch]

Ashlands is quite the ordeal without friends

[tacit crystal]

Well, unprepareness catches most of the players no matter which biome.

[fossil dome]

I haven't been to Ashlands yet, I'm scared lol

[azure yacht]

That's just reaffirming the statement with different wording

[vocal rivet]

Not really a helpful attitude.

[latent hinge]

i went there once by accident. didnt even make it to land and i died, lost all my items, and even my boat

[azure yacht]

But not a lie

And those players are also the kind to refuse solutions and would rather complain about it (such as refusing world modifiers)

[fossil dome]

It looks very cool from I've seen but I think I'm happy just observing from a safe distance for now

[tacit crystal]

Psst, world modifiers whaaaaat are those? 👀

[worldly horizon]

is there any public server where everyone can join without password in this game ?

[azure yacht]

No

[worldly horizon]

where everyone is playing then?

[light moat]

Just single player, or servers with friends

[worldly horizon]

thats a bit booring tho

[light moat]

You can find groups to play with in #1024264966712340510 though, if you’re looking to find others 🙂

[worldly horizon]

is there any big servers around with lots of people ?

[azure yacht]

[signal bloom]

I'll tell ya, nothing is as difficult as going from black forest to swamp

Ashlands seemed like a breeze in comparison.

I straight up almost quit the game when I got to the swamp, I wouldn't even play unless I had a friend online.

[wispy latch]

I can’t even imagine the game without the two friends I played with

Every new area we explored together, and when one of us had a broken computer for a while, we put Valheim on hold until he got it fixed

[regal spoke]

Recently started a no-map playthrough with players from here. One of the most productive runs I've seen so far. Couple days in Elder and Trader located. Beautiful thing

[vocal rivet]

It's a solo player game with optional coop to 10 players. There ARE modded servers with more but we wouldn't recommend them. It's not what Valheim is really about.

[buoyant panther]

I've been preparing game food, boat kits, portal kits for months while I wait for my friend to hop back on so we can explore the b||og witch stuff||. 🙂

[regal spoke]

When the adventure becomes a well oiled machine. That'll be some good times

[inland wraith]

Whats your take on "Staff of Fracturing"?
the stats look aweful compared to Embers´and Frost
Wondering what the point of this staff actually is

[steady bough]

Is that the one that splits off into smaller projectiles? if the dmg is per one of those it could have higher dmg, cant quite remember if it does tho

[tacit crystal]

Compared to Ember staff: inferior AoE, but higher stacking fire damage for single targets.

It might be one of my favorite staves even.

[chrome badge]

Staff of Fracturing also has a unique way of using Eitr that allows for some regen cheese that feels nice.

[buoyant panther]

It's also cheap to build and upgrade if you need to make a new one.

[inland wraith]

so overall worth a try? mats are cheap anyway

[chrome badge]

Definitely worth a try

[rancid echo]

No, picking raspberries makes the swords skill appear in the skills tab

[inland wraith]

Thank you guys ❤️

[foggy crest]

Are there any mods that adjust the game to make endgame more enjoyable? I tried WackyEpicMMOSystem but it doesn't really matter what the level difference is between the character and monsters.

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might be able to help you 🙂

[foggy crest]

Very weird - that channel doesn't show in my channel list! I'll go there. Thanks a ton!

[merry pebble]

Try to enable all channels at the top of the list 🙂

[potent hedge]

What foods would yall recommend I have before finishing mountains and starting plains? As of now I have sausages, wolf jerky, and onion soup

[merry pebble]

Wolf skewers, onion soup and eyescreem/wolf jerky/sausages

[nocturne wolf]

Swap wolf jerky for sausages or a feast

[potent hedge]

Ah alright, I haven't managed to find the merchant for feasts but I hope to soon since the feasts seem really good

[merry pebble]

They are balanced food just like wolf jerky for example 🙂 but with way more stats

[potent hedge]

Right

[regal spoke]

I'm going with skewers, onion soup, and sausages. 2h 1s life

[merry pebble]

I like 2stam 1 hp 🙂

[regal spoke]

Many do I know

[potent hedge]

Is it worth it to get 2 star wolves?

[wooden tapir]

depends what you want them for

[potent hedge]

Just for wolf jerky/anything wolf meat related

[merry pebble]

Its not necessary 🙂 but that way you dont have to worry about getting wolf meat and pelts + they are nice base defence system

[wooden tapir]

id say yes if you can find one early, i personally spent like 25 nights looking for one

by the time i found one i had like 7 stacks of wolf meat so i didnt really need them

[potent hedge]

I just don't have a mountain biome on my starting island that I've seen and so wherever I tame the wolves I'll have to sail them back

[wooden tapir]

it also makes it easier if you are familiar with spawn mechanics

[potent hedge]

Right, I'm already up to like 6 or so stacks from getting silver

[weak cypress]

Man, pufferfish jumping into a boat are a danger I never thought I'd see

#general message

Yes. They can raid proof

[median ivy]

Is there any benefits or disadvantages to living underground? It sounds like a pretty odd question, but I'm asking because I wanted to make a basement. Maybe I could make a wine cellar or perhaps it can help me with raid preventions and so on. I was thinking of making it so I can have a "strip mine" area too

[regal spoke]

With the right size rock you can make a nice cave. Then cover it up with dirt and use a portal to get in and out. Raid proof.

[median ivy]

Good. I was hoping the creature AI wasn't like 7 days to die and the enemies just do anything in their power to kill you.

[regal spoke]

They work on line of sight and sound. Buried in solves the sight issue.

[azure yacht]

If you don't want raids just disable them

[tepid prawn]

Some people want raids at some bases but not at others, that’s how it is for me. Needs creative use of game mechanics for that

[median ivy]

It's not what I was asking but thank you

[azure yacht]

it can help me with raid preventions

[vocal rivet]

It's also more possible than living underground.

[pliant hatch]

One of the areas suitable for that may be the altar of The Elder.
You can clear out quite a large area, the altar and the stone "floor" around it are "monster proof" and you can build around it as much as you like.
Unfortunately not over it.

[median ivy]

sounds like a pretty odd question
and the question barely focused on the raid stuff lol

[median ivy]

Thanks. I could utilize this. I didn't even think of this.

[tacit crystal]

I've started to use underground area of Elder altar as portal hub in my latest runs. It's quite useful.

[median ivy]

Oh does the brazier count as a fire buff too?

[pliant hatch]

Yup.

So with the right items you can get quite a nice rested bonus.

Also, each side can hold 5 portals, put the one leading to your main base in the center and you got 21 portals available for exploration.

And if you happen to find the other Elder Altars and are able to turn them into hubs too, you even got more options. 🙂

[slender rover]

hey, has anyone managed to get a wolf breeder working recently?

[pliant hatch]

I've never had any problems breeding wolves. Just drop a bunch of meat at the ground, make sure at least two wolves are nearby and cuss a lot because of all the howling pups popping up.

[slender rover]

Only issue is the population eventually saturates

[signal bloom]

If the demolisher is used on the center of a fortress to cheese the loot through the wall, is there a chance it could destroy any of the loot in the process?

[exotic cradle]

It destroys the door only

Well, half the wall too, but not the loot

[signal bloom]

Demolisher the hammer weapon, not the siege engine

[exotic cradle]

Oh I'm tired asf sry

If you wanna cheese it just dig at a corner and go under ez

[magic thistle]

hey guys quick question, does it matter if I use thunderstore or nexus for mods? and does one have mods the other doesnt?

[pliant hatch]

You'd better ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966>
There's a lot more knowledge about mods in there, as there is in this channel.

[signal bloom]

No, unless #2 is a yes, which it sometimes is

[true sonnet]

Hey

What type of microwave do you have

[magic thistle]

sorry about that

[pliant hatch]

Sorry for what?
Asking here?

No need to be sorry for that. That particular channel is pretty far down the list and you're not the first - nor the last - that hasn't seen it until being pointed to.
So as far as I'm concerned, all's good. 🙂

[rain tapir]

Hello I’m back what’s better than the serpent shield

[true sonnet]

Hey

What type of microwave do you use?

[light moat]

Like in general? Serpent shield is swamp tier, if that tells you anything 👍

[pliant hatch]

I haven't used tower shields in a long time. (Like not since my first playthrough 2 years or so ago), but I think there's a Carapace shield. Considering that's Mistlands tier, it certainly would be better.

[rain tapir]

im in the mountains rn

[light moat]

Oh nice, there’s not a great shield for that tier. So you may opt to settle for a standard shield.

[rain tapir]

such as?

bronze buckler?

[light moat]

There should be a silver shield available

[pliant hatch]

Bronze Buckler would even be a bigger step back, compared to Serpent Shield.
Iron shield would be better, but as mentioned, Silver Shield is the best shield option for mountains.

[exotic pumice]

I just went to the biggest Infested Mine I've ever seen. There is a staircase that leads to a room with a big spiral staircase downwards opening up to a double spiral staircase room.
on that bottom floor, there was ANOTHER spiral staircase downwards😲 I didn't know a spiral staircase room could lead even lower, that's so cool!

but even the largest dungeon I've ever seen doesn't have the Queen Vegvisir🥴

[buoyant panther]

And they call it a mine. A mine!

[median ivy]

What is the most stamina one can achieve and what foods. Currently in mistlands right now

[nimble moss]

This Google doc is done by one of the community members. Has all food options per biome etc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_obmQ_F5u5p-2K0NvFNzL2aHWLauisve63lvOsoD54/edit#gid=0

[median ivy]

Thanks

[chrome badge]

Salad 80 Stamina
Mushroom omelette 85 Stamina
Fish 'n' bread 90 Stamina
+255 Stamina in total with Mistlands level food(though I would not recommend using 3 stam foods)

[median ivy]

Using it to build a house for now, not the mistlands. I just meant that's where I'm currently at in terms of the progression line

[chrome badge]

Valheim can be rage inducing omg, I'd been leading a 2 star boar back to my base for about 15 minutes(the first 2 star I'd ever found on my main island), after defeating 4 seeker spawns and 2 different groups of fulings, a 5th seeker flys in and 1 shots it a few feet from my bridge.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[tiny tiger]

So close yet so far

[merry pebble]

You could've make a quick pen, portal home, sleep, portal back and continue 🤔

[chrome badge]

You assume I was prepared to find a 2 star boar

[merry pebble]

Well all you need Is few pieces of wood and portal mats that you should have basically always with you 😄

[chrome badge]

I would also need food to keep it from despawning, and a portal premade at my base

[merry pebble]

Well it would not despawn, it Is not limited night spawn, and you don't keep a "oh fuck" unnamed portal at your base?

[tiny tiger]

What about your emergency pocket catapult to launch the boar back to base

[chrome badge]

My explorer portal is setup where I've been exploring and is in use, I was just setting up a dock on the southern side of my island

That 2 star boar was fighting seekers and fulings without taking any hits though it was impressive, but one very determined seeker flew out of the trees and ninja'd the boar with one foul swoop 😅

[plush umbra]

I’m an OG player in this game, I’ve played it since release, but I stopped for a few years.
recently got back into it

And wow, the Mistlands biome is just tragic, like it sucks big time

Feels like entering a different game

[nocturne wolf]

What is wrong with it?

[plush umbra]

The devs need to decide

Either make the terrain most difficult, or the sight.
Both just turns the whole experience into a mess

[plush umbra]

Like I’ve never played with the settings that allow u to teleport metals etc

But I turned em on because I literally gave up in mistlands

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[tribal trench]

Mistlands was and still is a blast for me

[vocal rivet]

Imagine hating the best biome.

[tribal trench]

it's rough at first

[plush umbra]

I guess we agree to disagree folks 😂

[tribal trench]

but it gets better... try clearing a spot or even taking over a Dverger tower

[plush umbra]

Yeah I tried teaming up with the dwarfs. Every time I find a dwarf camp, it always get annihilated by the spiders

[vocal rivet]

There are no spiders in Valheim.

[near furnace]

My favourite biome is still medows 🤔

[tribal trench]

There are many places to build in to "start" a place with some safety untill you get work benches down and clear the mist with some wisp torches

[plush umbra]

Alright, I’ll take ur advice!

[tribal trench]

personally I took a dock that i found along the coast

[near furnace]

you know about the cape, right? @plush umbra

[tribal trench]

I remember my first go at the place..... Gjall almost sunk my boat lol

[opal prairie]

I only build a small outpost in the mistlands to farm shrooms but I spawn proof it to the gills.

[tribal trench]

If you place work benches down in the mistlands does it keep the hares from respawning?

I found the perfect place to farm rabbit meat

err umm hare meat

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it stops everything

[tribal trench]

ok thank you

[sand meteor]

is there a new way to make potions besides the cauldron now?

[wooden tapir]

there is a mead kettle now

[sand meteor]

[rain flare]

Mistlands = best lands

[tribal trench]

well now... I have both seekers and charred here in the meadows at night

[lunar sapphire]

Good luck brave soldier!

[tribal trench]

hehe

[clear comet]

late game valheim played differently that it's practically almost a new game

[plush umbra]

100%

[clear comet]

I would say early game (tutorial) is stone - bronze, midgame is iron - silver - black metal, and late game is mistland + ashland

mid game valheim plays similar like minecraft in a way that's it's....not very confusing to progress

Like it's relatively simple

Late game though? There's a massive difficulty spike that casual players might find hard to experience/swallow

[heady parcel]

Gods below - two star Soldier, what an absolute damage sponge!

[heady parcel]

I rarely build anything major in Mistlands. I establish a shroom and sap farm that I keep unraidable, then I bring a portal along as I explore and pop back to base overnight, to empty bags and so on. Usually at mine entrances whenever I find one, I just fortify the fudge out of the entrance and then go back and forth as much as is needed. Makes dying down in a mine less of a hassle, corpse runs through Mistlands is probably my least favourite thing in the entire game...

[near furnace]

Game pretty much stops holding your hand around you enter the swamps

[heady parcel]

Oh yes my first contact with the swamp was a very sobering experience. I went in feeling "yah I got this down" and a half hour and three corpse runs later I was a tad less cocky

[azure yacht]

If players didn't get the hint that the game becomes more difficult as they progress and are surprised that the last biomes are actually difficult...

Then idk what to tell them

[heady parcel]

That's how most games progress, so it should be no surprise to anyone really

[opal prairie]

Unless they made the jump from hello kitty to Valheim with nothing in between.

[final hinge]

I really like the progression in this game. That first experience in a new biome is always so daunting no matter how much time you have logged. I didn't think they could one up themselves on the initial delve into the mistlands but the ashlands did absolutly do that.

I'm torn on how long it should last though. It's nice to master a new biome but me and two of the other methodical and skilled guys on our server took on our first fortress last night and it was almost underwhelmingly easy to conquer it.

[heady parcel]

I nearly always play solo, so when the difficulty is ramped up there is less room for mistakes, and when you do mess up - and I nearly always do, sooner or later - you get punished without remorse. Love that, it's how it should be.

[near furnace]

Hugin basicly just leaves you in the swamps 😄

[opal prairie]

I would love for Hugin to stay and make sarcastic comments, which might hold a clue about what your should be doing or are doing wrong.

[exotic cradle]

i want hugin to laugh at me when i die out my balcony

(which I totally almost didn't do 3 min ago)

[heady parcel]

My last two deaths have been jumping off my tower to get down faster than walking - and forgetting to check health level first

[zealous thicket]

Sometimes I jump from our tower and oh thats the wrong cape

[heady parcel]

I've had bad luck with mines, don't have the cloak yet

[opal prairie]

Are you my long lost twin?

[heady parcel]

Once I have that cloak it never comes off!

[exotic cradle]

once again proving feather cape was a mistake

[zealous thicket]

Our tombstones sit next to each other 💜

[opal prairie]

"Here lie some persons that couldn't be bothered to take the stairs nor check their cape.

[heady parcel]

Gods, last time I had enough health but hit a balcony half way down, bounced off and died at the base instead.

[opal prairie]

I wouldn't mind if they change it to only work in mistlands and ashlands, it needs either a magically saturated mist or hot air to help you float down and jump higher.

[final hinge]

At least you can only take a maximum of 100 fall damage (i think)

Or I'd have way more oops wrong cape deaths

[light moat]

I wouldn’t mind if they added some cool effects to other capes to contend with the feather cape 🤔
oops, sorry didn’t mean to ping you in the reply

[opal prairie]

That would be cool yeah.
Pinging you in the reply is fully intended.

[nocturne wolf]

Those other capes would need a lot more to even come close

[light moat]

That’s true… sigh i do think feather cape needs some more nerfing tbh

But I know there would be uproar

I will say, the fire weakness has caught me off guard more times that I would like to admit… but yeah, barley wine negates that entirely.

[nocturne wolf]

How could it be nerfed even further?

[exotic cradle]

remove it

[opal prairie]

Tied to specific biomes and maybe even have them work less depending on where you are in that biome, for mistlands for example, loads of mist and high up works like now, lower to the ground, less mist works x% less.

[nocturne wolf]

In mistlands most attacks already have short hitboxes so you think it should be more powerful in the biome where it’s less useful?

It was originally given jump boost for ashlands, and that was only removed so it could be put on a mead

[light moat]

I don’t think I would tie its use to a specific biome 🤔

I’d tweak its effectiveness, make it start to cease functioning after a set amount of time while falling. So for example, after 3 seconds of falling, you start to fall like normal.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just a wet blanket that hates fun

[nocturne wolf]

But the catapults

[light moat]

Have another means of attaining fall damage immunity perhaps? 🤔 ||celestial feather cape|| <kidding on this btw

[opal prairie]

A wet blanket might mean there was some real fun before it got wet though and it might have continued even after it got wet.

[zealous thicket]

Why do we need to nerf the feather cape because I like jumping off a tower I built 😭

[opal prairie]

Either nerf it or buff the rest, the feather cape is by far the best cape in my opinion once I get it I hardly ever wear another cape. It is laos the first thing I make in the mistlands before anything else I'll hunt everything I need for that cape. It is such a game changer.

[vocal rivet]

It's a cape from in what is currently the second to last biome, it SHOULD be strong.

[zealous thicket]

Everyone in my playthrough stopped using it once we got to the ashlands. It mostly is relegated to a goofing or building cape now

Nerf goofing or give it a skill to level 🤠

[near furnace]

Berserkir axes + Feather cape is my favorite way to travel in Mistlands now.

[noble torrent]

Is there a reason why there isnt a creative mode in Valheim?

[exotic cradle]

What do you mean by creative mode? There's already a hammer mode

[nocturne wolf]

There is already a world modifier preset for hammer mode and devcommands you can use to unlock all build pieces, fly and turn invincible

[noble torrent]

Basically what @nocturne wolf said up here but without needing to access devcommands

[exotic cradle]

There's a world modifier

[noble torrent]

Like the same that exists in Minecraft

not everyone plays minecraft I have no idea what it might be 🥲
but you can do it without devcommands

[noble torrent]

Basically the creative mode in Minecraft gives you instant access to all itens, resources, etc; makes you invincible, sort of invisible to creatures, etc;

[near furnace]

we know

valheim is in early access and a fully creative mode is not in any kind of priority

[opal prairie]

You'll need to play with the world modifiers.
Turn on free building, turn on passive creatures, any other things you would like or don't like.
For flying you will need the devcommands, same for invincible mode.

[noble torrent]

I haven't played in a while, but the hammer mode just gives you the ability to build everything, but you still have to mine the resources, etc?

[near furnace]

no ^

[noble torrent]

To like know the recipes

[near furnace]

there is no-cost option, all recepie unlock option, no stamina use option

just use those

[rain flare]

This is the cutest cat gif

[noble torrent]

Hmmm nice, thanks for the advices

[rain flare]

But please don’t 😂
I love that cape for the visuals at the very least 🤭

[clever lodge]

So, kind of a silly question, but what is everyone's thoughts on gifting Ashvine/Vineberry seeds to new players?

My initial thought is it wouldn't be too gamebreaking, 30/30 health and stamina is good but not crazy. And the recipes using it aren't unlocked until Mistlands and Ashlands anyway by other things.

[near furnace]

there is other matching things ealier tho 🤔

[clever lodge]

There are. Raw vineberries would fall off around swamps as viable food.

[near furnace]

but

their is no reason to have them in the swamps

not all things needs to be min/max

[clever lodge]

It's not really a min/max thing and more of a "I like giving new players gifts but also don't want to completely upend the balance."

[near furnace]

no

that's what we would call "bloat"

giving the player to many items to do is just bad IMHO

sure, people who have played since 2021 will like it

but new players playing for the first time don't need 20 diffrent food items to choose from

to much options is BAD

[tacit crystal]

Why mess up the natural progression of the game?

[near furnace]

and that

adding something should also remove something

and also something to thing about

why trying to solve a problem that isn't there in the first place?

[clever lodge]

It's not about solving problems. It's about wanting to give gifts. Food is normally my go to because it gives benefits but is inherently temporary. But I know it's super common to do stuff like give stacks of Troll hide. Or coins.

[signal bloom]

Is it normal to get zero flametal from a fortress after opening all its chests?

[tacit crystal]

Completely normal.

The same as not getting any gems too.

[signal bloom]

Dang i never had this happen until last night 😦

[azure yacht]

Then what would be the point of gifting them then?

[signal bloom]

Guess I didnt pray hard enough to RNGesus

[tacit crystal]

I have had more times fortress without Flametal than without any gems tho.

[azure yacht]

Vineberries are good enough where they are. Also, they provide an infinite food supply by just planting once. That alone is somewhat balance-breaking

[signal bloom]

Opposite for me lol

I'll take the gems anyday

[shy marlin]

Vineberries would be cool but there hasn’t been a single moment in the history of valheim where they haven’t been bugged

[signal bloom]

Vineberries bugged?

[tacit crystal]

I remember them berries being quite plentiful from self grown vines. During PTB it got buffed and it's more viable to pick them from ruined citadels with vines than from self grown.

[shy marlin]

Pretty much this is the thread that explains the history of em #valheim-public-test message

[light snow]

Yea its been a year almost and that hasnt been patched yet 🤣
I just leave a portal at random cathedral for vineberries. Growing them is purely cosmetic

[tacit crystal]

I mean, if you have lots of them vines you might eventually get some berries but they vanish if you logout.

[light snow]

It can join the list of annoying bugs weve been waiting years to be fixed

[tacit crystal]

Not that it matters tho, I have almost 2 full black metal chests with vineberries in my main world. I'm not running out for a while.

[shy marlin]

Yea put it right next to the stagger bug 🤣

Surely 1.0 will address these things 😏 🤙

[azure yacht]

I am already losing any hope that this game will be "fully" finished when DN is released.

It seems like many glitches and bugs that are there will remain there

They could've spent more time trying to fix them at the moment rather than "we'll get on it later" as they seem to think

[light snow]

Facts

[exotic cradle]

Like?

[azure yacht]

I really want to wtf they keep meaning by "we don't have enough time" every time those kind of complains happen. Who are threatening them to release stuff asap instead of taking them more time?
