valheim-chat

[torpid yarrow]

barely get time to play this week was nice got to play long sessions

[vocal cypress]

well i like rust

[torpid yarrow]

game isnt fps fyi

[vocal cypress]

ik

[torpid yarrow]

even ranged weapons you gotta use more to be more accurate

game def worth its price nonetheless

[near furnace]

I mean.. anything is possible 🤔
just like SamOne said. --> #suggestions and don't forget the 💡

[near furnace]

well. the big diffrence is that valheim is co-op with friends. not PvP.

[hazy seal]

just checked, i did put it there

hopefully before we get deep north this change happens ngl, elder power is so laughably bad compared to all the others

[near furnace]

well.. they aren't suppose to be super powers either

[hazy seal]

yeah, but it's more of "how useful is this power to me" and it's always the last

[near furnace]

well. I've seen 2 people with elder power with 2 handed axes basicly demolish a entire biome within the 5 minute limit 😄

and then they didn't need to cut wood for almost the entire playthrough 😄

[hazy seal]

true, but you get it in ashlands

pretty much endgame

at this point you should have tons of wood already

[glossy dune]

Hmm should I start another playthrough, number 12 to be exact. 1200 hours in, need more, maybe this time just swords and bow only hm

[azure yacht]

nope

[near furnace]

and mining is.. like... something you would do all through the game basicly 🤔

sounds like time for no-shirt run if you're at 1200 hours

[hazy seal]

fighting is also something you do all through the game basically

so is exploring

and who knew, we gets 2 very powerful powers for these occassions from boss 1 and 3

[near furnace]

eikthyr power is greatly balanced IMHO
bonemass however is madly overpowered 😄

[hazy seal]

turning elder power into pure resource gathering would make it useful all throughout the game though

would make it on par with the powers being temporary but always useful for a certain occassion

[near furnace]

I think I would rather have the mining power at moder 🤔

tho thematicly, a flying dragon and wind makes so much more sence 😄

[glossy dune]

Mining power asap, copper mining especially is tedious

Silver and iron is easy

[near furnace]

well. the thing is

[hazy seal]

you have it, but from queen

[near furnace]

you wouldn't apritiate the miningpower if you never struggleled 😄

[hazy seal]

so is hauling stuff around the world, it's still a struggle

[ember kraken]

Right, you guys reminded me that powers exist in the game, I keep forgetting them.

[hazy seal]

plus a power lasts 5 minutes and you cant use it for next 15

[near furnace]

I have my own ideas on re-balance boss powers

but I think everyone in the dev team and also almost every player got ideas on them 😅

[hazy seal]

yeah, elder power needs changes asap though

[ember kraken]

I think thematically they work as they are. I'd probably remove blunt resistance from BoneyM both from thematic and to give it some kind of weakness.

[hazy seal]

second in line is yagluth if deep north doesn't have enemies that constantly use magic

[glossy dune]

Ye Yagluth power is literally useless atm

[ember kraken]

But in the grand scheme of things, I just forget they are a thing, and usually forget to use them or even to swap them around at all.

[plush umbra]

all power useless except the decnet one bonemass

[nocturne wolf]

❔

[near furnace]

nothing needs to change asap 👀

[hazy seal]

fair

[plush umbra]

devs really neeeds to adress this mannnn

[hazy seal]

should have said "first in line" rather than asap

[glossy dune]

Eikthyr is the best power overall, in terms of usage, I think I used Bonemass like twice last playthrough

[near furnace]

no

there are alot worse offenders needed to be addressed

bonemass is way to strong later biomes

bonemass + blood shield = OP

you can basicly cake-walk

[plush umbra]

yah iekther is inda good

[tribal trench]

I used Yagluth power while fighting fader, it was very useful

[plush umbra]

all other kinda straight grabge lol

[nocturne wolf]

If Bonemass increased armor by a set amount it could still help a lot early on without being too strong later

[glossy dune]

Just use barley wine vs Fader @tribal trench 🙂

[plush umbra]

true

[tribal trench]

well we had that, but it was a 4 man fight we had lots of powers stacked

[plush umbra]

fight with thunder axes naked

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth won’t do anything against fader if you already have barley wine

[tribal trench]

bonemass out the gate because he dropped meteors right out the get

[plush umbra]

tasty mead is the anser

fader attacks easy to read

[tribal trench]

Honestly the games doesn't need tailor made for the individual, rather the individual need to adjust to the situation i think 🤔

if you want non vanilla there is options

[plush umbra]

nope im not using blood shield waste food slot instead stamina

the mobs cant literally hit u if u just walk forward

too ez

[ember kraken]

My only real complaint about the forsaken powers is honestly that I'm always pissed I can't get the Moder power earlier. I know it's perfectly thematic where you can get it. But by the time I find her, I've usually finished most of my sailing.

[glossy dune]

Berserker mead plus Bonemass plus Thundering Berserker axes = insane dmg burst

[tacit crystal]

Basically you can have a cake and eat it too with that combo.

[plush umbra]

thats why i install wind always at ur back mod

[nocturne wolf]

And for fader you don’t even need bonemass, just a root harnesk

[plush umbra]

nah berkser mead is bad only like 10 sec right?

[torpid yarrow]

is mage build gonna be ok in ashlands early on?

[tacit crystal]

20s. And bad? Whoah.

[plush umbra]

hmm idk i dont use it the attkc window u can free hit on fader is low

[glossy dune]

You can't go wrong with magic, too powerful

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a root harnesk you can tank his melee attacks for a while, they’re all 100% pierce damage

[tacit crystal]

Weaknesses are nullified by any resistance source, so Root harnesk combined with that is very good against Fader.

[torpid yarrow]

my ice staff is itching to send cold breezes

[plush umbra]

true combine bonemass is cheezy

all food stamina then spam tasty mead with lingering health and stamina i watched it on yt lol

this tower shileds man really need buff

[torpid yarrow]

towershields and spear are a vibe

[glossy dune]

True. I've been using Flametal Towershield lately with Klossen and it's pretty good for hordes of enemies

[plush umbra]

yeah in normal mode i guess

[torpid yarrow]

Call it Odin wall build

[hard gale]

I want Valheim 1.0 NOW 😤

[tacit crystal]

#fanart message

[plush umbra]

let the devs cook

[regal spoke]

Anyone else smell misthare supreme

[glossy dune]

I prefer seeker aspic @regal spoke

[regal spoke]

🤌

[tiny tiger]

Is lingering health better than major healing pot

[shy marlin]

depends?

[tacit crystal]

I prefer major for sudden situations.

[robust delta]

nah

[glossy dune]

Need more sap

[robust delta]

asap 🫡

[torpid yarrow]

do they stack?

[nocturne wolf]

Lingering meads don’t stack with minor/medium/major meads of the same type

[shy marlin]

Worth saying if they don't know but lingering stam and tasty stack

[plush umbra]

lingering for sustain

[tacit crystal]

Yeah Tasty doesn't count as it doesn't give you stamina directly, just increases the stamina regen and decrease hp regen for its duration.

Which is why it's one of the GOAT meads.

[hard gale]

ofc, but I must express my hype

[tiny walrus]

Does anyone know if the Berserkir axes are effective? I want to try a dual wield to fit my character cinderhoff but I don’t waste any flametal on a weapon that I might not be useful. Currently I have been playing with jotun bane and a carapace buckler since me and my gang just arrived in ashlands. (A year late)

[exotic cradle]

They are 1000% satisfying to play with

[tacit crystal]

They are.

[tiny walrus]

Alright, that’s good to hear. Do you think it’s worth sacrificing the block armor?

[opal prairie]

Very much so, certainly if you make some lightning ones and the vine ones are good as well.

[opal prairie]

It requires a different playstyle though, more rolling, more guerilla tactics, move in ,strike, move away.

[exotic cradle]

aaaaaaaand they chop trees

[tacit crystal]

You can parry most non starred mobs with them.

[tiny walrus]

Good to know

[regal spoke]

Two times as fast?

[tacit crystal]

They have the most chop power.

[shy marlin]

Real gamers use battle axes to chop trees

[regal spoke]

I thought it was Trolls

[shy marlin]

trolls are good too

[regal spoke]

Ah I see carry on

[merry pebble]

Ehm... Few Elders...

[regal spoke]

@keen trench #screenshots message nice shot. Happy Thor'sday indeed.

[nocturne wolf]

More jumping!!

[torpid yarrow]

sometimes i remember conan exiles when i play this

[regal spoke]

Then you remember why you're playing Valheim as the best survival game to exist?

[earnest sparrow]

someone wanna play whit me some valheim survival

[tacit crystal]

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

[earnest sparrow]

okay tysm

[plush umbra]

anyone wanna play valheim survival fresh with me?

[river elm]

I do wanna play valheim again, but is there any change to the copper deposit?

[pearl ice]

copper is the same as its always been

[river elm]

shame, do you or anyone know if it is gonna change?

[pearl ice]

why would it change ?

[river elm]

it is horrible to get

[nocturne wolf]

How?

[pearl ice]

copper is super easy , not sure what you mean

[river elm]

last time i played we got more stone than copper from one deposit...

[nocturne wolf]

You’re supposed to

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, copper is just right there... There are many far harder ores in the game.

[exotic swan]

I always recommend Vanilla settings because I think it's the best version of the game, however if the amount of resource drops is a major pain for you, there are now in game settings where you can increase the drop rates.

[torpid yarrow]

pick a good ore deposit place a workbench for repair jam some music then collapse the whole deposit

[pearl ice]

roughly 1 copper node should give out 120 copper ore - if you mine the whole deposit

i used to like mining out all around one , and under as much as possible

then try and get it to all break at once , as much as possible

Copper Rain

[river elm]

i used to do that, and it takes several in-game days

[regal spoke]

Definitely takes some work. But that's an exaggeration. Like SamOne said. Place a workbench. Plus a couple chests. Even some campfires to keep the dwarves off of you. A whole node can be deleted in a day.

[raven heron]

god damn iron beams are OP

my 3 story house has blue stability 1 tile almost to the top of the roof

[nocturne wolf]

Iron beams give connected objects blue stability

[wooden tapir]

i might start turning 2x on just for iron farming tbh, the ammount of iron i need is just tedious

all the other resouces are not that bad to farm, but iron just so useful

[raven heron]

1.5x is enough to increase most drops by double

theres a mod that you can use to increase stack size too, i have the one that doubles all stacks, most things stack to 100 and ores to 60, saves hella time by reducing boat trips

[wooden tapir]

hmm interesting, ill prob do that then

[wide acorn]

anyone know what yagluth says when he crawls up from the ground?

[azure yacht]

viking

[wide acorn]

Oke

[blissful patio]

What’s the best way to kill Geirrhafa? I just entered the silver age

[median ivy]

Does leveling up skills use less stamina? Like pickaxe and weapon leveling?

[ember panther]

Lure him away to a spot you can just shoot him.

[tacit crystal]

Parry his melee attacks and dodge his magic attacks. He takes spirit damage so silver weapons do well against him.

Or snipe him afar with lots of arrows.

[meager fossil]

Is it likely we get Deep north within the next few months? Been thinking of playing again, but Id wait if the next biome is around the corner 🙂

[light moat]

I would say that it is unlikely 🤔

[merry pebble]

VERY unlikely 🙂

[river elm]

any ETA?

[meager fossil]

Thanks 🙂

[tacit crystal]

No, but we usually get some development news at the end of month about the process.

[river elm]

ty

[tacit crystal]

Follow https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 and you will get a notification when the next dev blog is there.

[light moat]

Oh shoot, already coming up towards the end of March! Time flies

Deep North ||im really curious as to what purpose(s) the seals will serve 🤔 ||

[chrome badge]

||Seals can't fly?|| 😦

[exotic swan]

Has there been any confirmation that 1.0 will release with steam achievements? IIRC there's no achievements atm

[merry pebble]

Yep, 1.0 will bring achievements 🙂

[light moat]

I hope they aren’t too defenseless 🍽️ 🦭

[tacit crystal]

Low key the most dangerous ones lol.

[light moat]

Even lord Reto knows to fear the strength of a seal

[merry pebble]

Plot twist: Last boss is just a 2star seal, thats how strong they are 😄

[light moat]

Seal! Use ice beam!

[regal spoke]

My mind went straight to Wonder Twins. "Form of an ice _"

[hazy seal]

tbh lore says that by killing the forsaken we bring valheim to balance, but killing bosses means creatures that normally dont spawn in a given biome start spawning at night

doesnt that mean we bring the world into imbalance?

[merry pebble]

I personally think that new enemies spawning at night are just because they started to notice us since we killed their leader. 🙂
For what we know they may die out eventually as we exit Valheim after we are done there. Also its more about the forsaken themselves, not their subjects.

[ember panther]

Another tameable for fur and seal meat ig

[nocturne wolf]

We’ve been sent to kill the forsaken because they aren’t dead yet. Odin doesn’t seem to care much about the world of valheim.

[ember panther]

What if Odin was Loki all along

[hazy seal]

wasn't valheim part of yggdrasil odin torn away and when the forsaken try to fix that, odin gets salty?

[merry pebble]

No.

[nocturne wolf]

Odin doesn’t want the forsaken to have access to Yggdrasil, which is why he sent them to Valheim and separated Valheim from Yggdrasil.

[hazy seal]

true

still think odin is the villain though

[merry pebble]

Forsaken=enemies of Odin. Valheim=prison for the Forsaken. Odin doesent want his enemies to do more bad stuff in the other worlds hence why them trying to reconnect Yggdrasil is a big no no

[nocturne wolf]

He sent me to the world of necks that is the kindest thing anyone could do

[vocal rivet]

The entire plot of the game can be covered in a single paragraph yet people seem to regularly completely miss the mark.

[merry pebble]

I am more annoyed about the constant "Your boss wants you to do stuff for what he says is good but he is actually evil." trope people think is cool. It has been overused nearly everywhere...

[light moat]

Couldn’t agree more, not every story has to be a big twist where the big good guy is actually the big bad guy

[merry pebble]

For once let the presumed good guy be actually the good guy for gods sake

[light moat]

And let the bad guys be bad guys 😅

[tacit crystal]

In vikings' perspective they are the good guys at least.

[merry pebble]

That is more than good enough 😄

[tacit crystal]

Agreed.

[ember panther]

It's like a reflection on life

[undone remnant]

Think this game will ever have public servers like other survival games?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[undone remnant]

Just miss being able to casually drop into a game etc.

[merry pebble]

That is not the type of game vlaheim is 🙂 it is suposed to be a singleplayer or co-op with few other friends

[runic rapids]

Does anyone have a good picture of the bonemaw serpent ? I've been trying to get one myself and haven't been successful it's for a tattoo idea like a full head and body idk how to explain it

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Bonemaw - has some.

[shy marlin]

Turn on debugmode, devcommands, and god mode, then bind "timescale 0" to a key of your choice, whenever something interesting happens, hit that key to freeze the scene, giving you all the time you need to disable the HUD and perfectly frame your picture

Allows you to get some crazy cool screenshots

[regal spoke]

You just gave me an idea for your next challenge. No HUD.

[shy marlin]

No

[nocturne wolf]

Doesn’t no hud mean no inventory?

[light moat]

Scales speedrun when 😭

[shy marlin]

Dont like the idea of speedrunning valheim

[hard gale]

I think u can still open menus

[nocturne wolf]

I know it hides the pause menu

[hard gale]

I know nothing

[shy marlin]

I am really excited to hopefully wrap up the no food thing and move on to no armor, think no armor is gonna be a lot of fun 🤙

[regal spoke]

The engineer take: efficient running?

[shy marlin]

Kinda what the no food thing has become, mapped up a spreedsheet of all the things I need and the numbers behind each metal etc

[regal spoke]

Dang it's getting serious. I respect it. You back up to Fader again on no food run?

[shy marlin]

No kidna mentally broke ( ) so i'm doin some v rising stuff and gonna come back fresh

[pseudo shale]

Does anyone know if parrying with a shield while having a bubble of protection on will the bubble take full damage or does the parry bonus of the shield negate the dmg taken to the bubble?

[regal spoke]

Fair. I can imagine it's exhausting

[shy marlin]

Bubble takes all the damage @pseudo shale

[pseudo shale]

thought so, seemed like my bubble kept breaking too soon

[shy marlin]

word, plus side of it is that you can literally parry anything in the game with bubble

[pseudo shale]

yeah stops being staggered i notice, its rly good it seems, tried out a battle mage build with staff of wild and protection, seems strong

[tacit crystal]

Bubble is indeed strong defensive mechanic.

Especially with higher blood magic skill lvl.

[shy marlin]

Isn't blood magic 0 like 200 shield and block magic 100 like 700? crazy

[wet night]

In this game every mage is battle magee

[pseudo shale]

also another question does refreshing the bubble overwrite the current bubble of whats left or does it only refresh the duration and then not refresh the amount absorbed

[shy marlin]

Only refreshes duration

[pseudo shale]

thought so aswell lol

[wet night]

Before reaching mistlands you fight with some kind of weapon, while during mistlands you just add bubble shield so from now you are a battle mage

[pseudo shale]

ty

well i was playing with full eitr regen gear but now i swapped to full flametal with a 1h sword n shield with the staffs i mentioned, feel immortal now

[wet night]

Because bubble literally makes you immortal, you can survive and parry infinite dmg strike

[regal spoke]

If I run protection and primal staff with eikthyr power in a group. I feel I'd be more of a support mage. Defense buff, stamina buff, and crowd control (more of a distraction honestly).

[pearl horizon]

The Acolyte really tried to have morally ambiguity with the Sith, of all people....

[hazy seal]

whats your fav spot in mistlands to set up camp?

personally either empty patch or the area before the queen if available

[chrome badge]

I enjoy building on the water on the outskirts like an oilrig

[light moat]

I found a nice ravine-ish that’s clear of most and surrounded by some hills. Huge flat area, two Yggdrasil roots for sap, it’s pretty cozy.

[vestal light]

Hello, I'm fairy new to Val, hoping to find someone to guide me in game, happy to join your server or mine. on PC

[quasi latch]

Interesting linked steam name

[light moat]

#1024264966712340510 check here, lots of folks looking for players

[quasi latch]

In all seriousness, #1024264966712340510 is the channel for finding servers or advertising your own, you'll likely have better luck there

[regal spoke]

I'm with Omni. Really enjoy the Myst islands. The spot you described sounds sweet too. How'd you fair for soil to plant in?

[shy marlin]

Misty lands best biome

[regal spoke]

No contest from me. I enjoy exploring for those fog free gems. To build of course

[vestal light]

ahhh yes cheers !

[snow rover]

A naturally flat area with minimum mist so I can farm shrooms

[regal spoke]

Scales your building skills rival your combat skills. Wonder if you'd have a go at a Mist build vid.

[shy marlin]

🤔 don't really have any ideas for a mist build

[regal spoke]

Fair enough. Creativity may come in clutch eventually. 😉

[light moat]

Oh really? Why do feel this way? 🤔

[light moat]

Pretty solid, good soil spots too! I’ll turn into a proper base soon, now that I have stone portals.

[shy marlin]

Some of the best designed mobs, exploration is cool, progression is fun (all be it a repeat of black forest) ,looks amazing and the boss is great

[light moat]

Least favorite? 👀

[shy marlin]

Ashlands 😬

[regal spoke]

Id be stoked to see what you come up with.

In your Myst travels. Have you ever come across little pools nestled in spires? Like finding a lake in the mountains.

[kind iron]

How dare you point that out. I almost spat out my food from laughing.

[light moat]

I wouldn’t say anything lake sized, but that sounds neat!

[quasi latch]

Then tell the food it needs to do a better job at staying in your mouth. I refuse to take blame for this situation.

[regal spoke]

Not in size. Just expressive. Probably the size of a tetra pond I guess

I was digging in screenshots where I think I posted a shot of one I planted crops around. The shot was taken from a spire looking down.

[regal spoke]

@light moat search filter ftw #screenshots message

[chrome badge]

That makes me want to make a path outlined in magecap

[hallow knoll]

Does anyone know a valheim server that doesn't lag with 5-6 people? Been using valhost the past month and it's been pretty awful

[glossy dune]

Best looking shield in the game ? Which one is it

[regal spoke]

Please post if you do

[lunar sapphire]

Just a reminder we don't allow the discussion/advertisment of specific server hosting companies/websites. Best to discuss specifics in a dm

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much any server that's geographically near the players with good connection between each player.

[hallow knoll]

We're all near each other and valhost has been absolutely awful

so really looking for a specific recommendation

[regal spoke]

The whole stance taken towards this topic is very off-putting. Doesn't exactly cultivate community building. Been here for years and you leave me on timeout. It's your house. Thanks

[lunar sapphire]

The timeout is automatically given when certain words/phrases are mentioned

[vocal rivet]

In what way does that prevent community building?

[livid grail]

Hello!!

[torpid yarrow]

took my time to farm mats to upgrade my gear to tier 3 now i am ready to set sail to ashlands

[shy marlin]

good luck

[median ivy]

Worst biome? (subjectively)

[wooden tapir]

swamp

[median ivy]

Why is that

[glossy dune]

Always wet 🙂

[tepid prawn]

Swamp is second best biome fite me 😛

[median ivy]

I find it a fast pass. Just feels like you cheese through the biome once you get iron
I don't hate it for that

[median ivy]

Fire

[torpid yarrow]

meet me in valhalla

[tepid prawn]

Done, I’ll bring gear from the biome I like better than swamp!

And you also have to bring gear from your fav biome

[torpid yarrow]

so can i kill serpent and such with staffs or am gonna burn up my boat?

i know there is gonna be bonemaw never faced sea creatures with staffs

[tacit crystal]

Frost staff is effective against sea monsters.

[torpid yarrow]

time for voyage

[tacit crystal]

They are usually either weak against frost or in wet status (which makes them weak against frost and lightning).

[torpid yarrow]

Turn radius on this ship is ....

[tacit crystal]

It's slower to turn but slowing speed down while turning helps with maneuvering.

[torpid yarrow]

Ok ashlands cant be real so much chaos compared to other biomes

[median ivy]

Hell on earth

[torpid yarrow]

reached shore killed few bone boys and bird went back home build a storage hut with tp then setup shield gen

and game decides to send like 6 archers and stone pelters constantly stunning me

bone boys now look stronger when archers boys backing them

luckily Log rolled over giving me break

[median ivy]

Hell

[glossy dune]

Ashlands is a friendly biome

[median ivy]

I can't wait to reach Ashlands once ai kill the queen. I heard the food is nice

[torpid yarrow]

so going back to try the melee build mage aint cutting it for me this eitr regen is not enough

i mean i am fully decked as possible still not enough

Interesting no wonder this is late game

[opal prairie]

Morgen Gjall.

[torpid yarrow]

ooh wait undead staff could be used to take agro from me?

solo leveling build?

[opal prairie]

Yes, mobs attack the closest thing that they can attack.

[torpid yarrow]

what is staff of fracturing?

[nocturne wolf]

It creates a single projectile that creates 12 more projectiles. When upgraded it deals incredibly high fire damage. The damage numbers shown on the weapon are copied onto each smaller projectile, so you do up to 12x damage per hit.

[torpid yarrow]

holi

so just need to die to those lava jellies

[median ivy]

Is that staff that summons a lava troll at all worth it

[merry pebble]

Oh yes

[median ivy]

Can they spawn with some sort of weapon too? Like an ashlands log?

[merry pebble]

Yep, they spawn either empty handed or with a log, like the normal BF trolls 🙂

[median ivy]

Awesome. How do I get this staff?

Is it exclusive to Mistlands or Ashlands?

[merry pebble]

Ashlands

[rose magnet]

My whole entire seed just got destroyed by a bone mass I can't even do anything with it now

[median ivy]

How did Bonemass curse your seed alone?

[rose magnet]

My portal got destroyed 😭

[merry pebble]

You can just sail again and rebuild it in safer location

[rose magnet]

Acid rain lol

[merry pebble]

Which does nothing...

[rose magnet]

Somebody in my seed used it and we all died

[merry pebble]

Used what?

[rose magnet]

Poison potion without any of us using are
resistance poison potion

[torpid yarrow]

why does cooked vulture look yum

[kind iron]

Food should look yum

[torpid yarrow]

why egg expensive T_T

[tacit crystal]

Refuse buying egg, embrace taking egg from sealed towers.

[torpid yarrow]

cook with egg seems expensive each one is 1500

[robust token]

Not until you have a chicken coop

[merry pebble]

Thats why you can hatch them 😉

[clear comet]

If you're doing Ashland solo melee or battle mage build is best

Pure mage is too high risk

[torpid yarrow]

made glowstick sword which seems to stun and slow them

gonna be using protection from staff with eitr potions and mage pants for enough mana

[earnest sparrow]

some one wanna play whit me now i am bored

[pliant hatch]

You will most likely find someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[hard gale]

U guys think we'll need to start a new world for 1.0?

[merry pebble]

We didnt with any of the previous updates, so i dont think so. 🙂 Tho 1.0 might be different, we will have to wait and see.

[nocturne wolf]

Starting a new playthrough will likely be the best way to experience content being added to previous biomes

[merry pebble]

True that.

[hard gale]

Have they said anything about 1.0 adding stuff to the earlier biomes? I kinda assume it's just gonna be deep north n the game is done

[light moat]

In The Spill, they mentioned wanting to add some content to earlier biomes, but this isn’t a guarantee it seems. I don’t want to make assumptions, but I feel like there’s a possibility we’ll see some new stuff sprinkled here and there.

[tribal trench]

I just found a wraith trophy lol

wow that thing looks cool

[light moat]

Yeah it’s a pretty great trophy! A fan favorite for sure

[hard gale]

I hope they do a pass on the ocean n add content to it

once upon a time, they said there would be an ocean update. that never happened but maybe one day

[hazy seal]

bruh i got into a mine with 2 one starred seeker soldiers at the enterance

https://valheim.com/news/development-blog:-lighting-the-way

we’re hoping to make it a proper 1.0 package with new things to discover in early biomes as well.

[hard gale]

oh cool!

[robust token]

It's the moment of the vacation
When you see an old building and you go "I wonder if I can build this in Valheim"

[torpid yarrow]

does game give you in game hints about resources in ashlands?

[grave wagon]

I can't think of any instances where they hint at what is to come, other than The Queen boss drop.

I'm not sure any biome gives a hint about what is to come.

[robust token]

There is for Mistlands, where Hugin and Mugin will guide you on getting the materials

[regal spoke]

How many people would you wager actually find groups to play with? We see countless people come in looking to play. We then usher them to the appropriate channel. There's no room for organic friend/group finding here. I've argued it's also counter intuitive the way it's handled. People should be shown the lfg channel and or given a role choice the moment they drop in. I'll bet more than a few people that get pushed to the lfg section give up and walk away. This is how it can prevent community from growing. Breaking organic flow and adding complexity to matchmaking. Again not my house. Just my thoughts.

o7

[torpid yarrow]

like each boss give you key items like antler pick for mining/crypt key for iron/wishbone for silver something like that

[merry pebble]

Queens drop lets you ||actually get to|| ashlands 😄

[wispy latch]

Moder is quite direct in giving you access to two stations needed for food and gear

[torpid yarrow]

so there is no in game clue on how to mine next tier metal?

[wispy latch]

You will know it when you see it

[merry pebble]

No, like there isnt in plains or mistlands... And it isnt really necessary

[wispy latch]

If you entered ashlands in the far east or west you might be on an island without all the features of the area

[azure yacht]

Explore and discover

[wispy latch]

Our group entered on a far-eastern island, and it didn’t have some of the most important locations or enemies

[torpid yarrow]

i am just asking if there are in game hints if someone reached ashlands they would have curiosity to explore

[wispy latch]

The raven will appear to you when you find new things to ensure you won’t miss them

[torpid yarrow]

i docked at large land mass since you know high chance of basic resources maybe

and totally not cause it was the closest path

[wispy latch]

The important places are hard to miss, you should see them and the important enemies from a distance

[torpid yarrow]

i think i am missing some balanced meal recipes

[merry pebble]

No you dont 🙂

[robust token]

Me be eating Misty Lobster meat

[torpid yarrow]

need to buy stuff from broom lady

[robust token]

(I'm not being weird, it's seeker meat)

[torpid yarrow]

i mean it could be the game insinuating but large insect meat might be like shrimp

[robust token]

Maybe

But boy, the Mistlands really provided lots of good food sources

I just need a better food farm

[shy marlin]

Erm well ackshually 🤓 👆 ... ( )

[torpid yarrow]

same

[merry pebble]

Lets just add "in the intended way" after that 😉

[torpid yarrow]

wait so each feast it worth 10 units?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[torpid yarrow]

why dont i make feasts only and pop em on table they seem cheap except for spices but they are sold in X5s

so i been missing on a lotta foods

[merry pebble]

You absolutely can if you want balanced playstyle 🙂 tho some food combinations may get you better total stats

[light moat]

Feasts have a feature where they can’t be moved once placed- once they’ve been used that is.

[tacit crystal]

Some higher tier feasts (starting from Mistlands feast) grant you also some eitr too.

[torpid yarrow]

yes this mushroom galore is amazing

[robust token]

I think feasts are more for playing with friends

[merry pebble]

Not really, they are just great food option, co-op or not 🙂

[torpid yarrow]

i wonder if i can use vulture egg as egg

[merry pebble]

You mean to hatch?

[robust token]

I wonder if I can use Modor's Egg as egg

[torpid yarrow]

wait ...

egg is egg but nope

[robust token]

Yes but actually not

I wonder how many feasts I can cook with a 200 kg egg

200 kilogrammes of protein right there

[torpid yarrow]

maybe superfood omelette

been hitting this black rock for a while shows dmg but wont crack

[merry pebble]

Eggactly none 😄

[robust token]

How do gjall deal with boss summons' materials on late game tho?

Donate it to Thor? Or kill them for funzies?

[merry pebble]

Leave them in chest in case i want to kill them again 🙂

[robust token]

Alright

Hmm

I am thinking about making animal farms, but dislike raids will come and kill them.
What would be the best way to stop raids?

[merry pebble]

World modifiers 🙂

[robust token]

Other than.. that

[merry pebble]

Spam campfires everywhere

[robust token]

I seen like clever raid requirements placement, and base defense designs

[torpid yarrow]

found askvin looks cute also dmgs enemies

[merry pebble]

If you just place campfires in large enough area no enemies will spawn around, at all, including raids

[robust token]

Hmm

Or I just really need to deal with Modor first.. cause only drakes can reach that high

I skipped her in my single player world

[shy marlin]

you skipped moder?

[torpid yarrow]

wait you can skip bosses?

using lava jelly to farm mats and enemies XD

i never needed anything more than shield

[azure yacht]

Yes

[heady parcel]

Moder is pretty unskippable since her tears are used for equipment progression. Some of the others can be skipped through tricks or inconvenience, but I've never bothered since...it's fun to bonk them.

[merry pebble]

Well you technically can skip any boss, but Moder is a bit of a special case because if you skip her you will lock a LOT of stuff later in game for yourself

[wispy latch]

Your animals are safe so lomg as you build strong stone houses aroumd them or keep your stables far from you base

Yeah can’t really skip moder and get to ashlands

[merry pebble]

Well you can... But not in the intended way and it is much harder 🙂

[torpid yarrow]

enemies encountered
Asksvin,vulture,supervulture,lava jelly,skelly boys,morgen,npcs

[merry pebble]

What types of skelly boys? 🙂

[torpid yarrow]

greatsword swingers,archer nemeis,grunt stone pelters

they really do gang up if given chance

[merry pebble]

So there is 1 more type of enemy you havent seen yet 😉

[torpid yarrow]

ooh

flametal baby

[tacit crystal]

Supervulture = ||Fallen valkyrie||?

[torpid yarrow]

got cel feathers

could be valkyrie

[merry pebble]

Yep, thats the one

[torpid yarrow]

now i got 3 sets options flametal,embla,asksvin

still need to mine flametal tho couldnt find deposits

unlocked catapult stuff and smoke,basult bombs

tmi my bad

deposit sinking

[robust token]

Congrats on your Ashland trip so far

[torpid yarrow]

found a castle got ass kicked

other flametal pillars are in lava cant seem to build towards them T_T

[nocturne wolf]

You can use basalt bombs to create temporary platforms

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes they can be found near the edge too.

[nocturne wolf]

Lightfoot mead and feather cape will let you jump further so you can use the bombs more efficiently, so don’t forget those

[torpid yarrow]

if i make into castle and clear can/shall i takeover?

[tacit crystal]

Clear it inside and you might do anything you want with it.

[heady parcel]

Gods below, I'm having bad luck with the Sealbreaker fragments this time. Ransacked over 10 mines by now, got everything Eitr related maxed out - but only 7 fragments. But not found any sign of a vaegvisir either so doesn't really matter. Just need to keep exploring...

[ember panther]

Least you're getting cores i take it? I got like 16 fragments and only 6 cores so far...

[heady parcel]

Oh Valheim RNG, how wildly differently it can swing!

Yeah I have both my main base and the secondary with both the black forge and eitr table upgraded (as far as can be pre-Ash)

And cores to spare

But the damn fragments are more rare than rocking horse poo

[ember panther]

Depends where ya go i guess or just the rng seed. Mines have been full of fragments for me but so few cores. I only got a forge and I'm considering breaking it to start a refinery

[heady parcel]

yeah I started that way, first 5-6 mines only gave exactly five cores, so I made a refinery, refined all the stuff, tore it down and made a forge, crafted everything, tore it down and made a table, and then back... gah. Then the next few mines I found had cores everywhere

Two-star ticks, nightmare fuel. How I hate them

[ember panther]

I needed to make the forge for the arbalest so I could deal with gjalls. I never used a bow this playthrough til I got this

[heady parcel]

I've never used the arbalest. I understand it hits hard a f but is slow?

Got my bow skill at 100 so I don't think I'll bother hehe

[snow flame]

not just that but loading the bolts will reset when you run or jump

[ember panther]

Slow to load but it fires like a gun for huge damage. Especially if you get the sneak attack on their soft underbelly

[heady parcel]

Lies, bow skill is 82. I died a few times. Swords is back up at 100 tho

[grave wagon]

I never used it until recently but I really enjoyed it. You can snipe heavy health enemies from a great distance and it has a knockback feature.

[heady parcel]

Haha I have 100 Run on this guy again

Perma Eik ftw 😄

Another mine found and cleared - 7 cores, 0 fragments...

[snow flame]

when im walking around in the swamp, theres no mobs aside from leech.

BUT the moment i fight an abomination, suddenly theres 3 skeletons and 2 blobs. WTF

[heady parcel]

That's how they roll. Opportunists! "Oh, now he's busy fighting old Willow, get 'im!!!"

[tacit crystal]

They just want to join the fun.

[frigid gust]

They hear those battles from so far away and just come running. Especially the blobs and skellies, Draugr are deaf and blind.

[snow flame]

gotta say, i really like abomination

[heady parcel]

Yeah awesome mob

[snow flame]

too bad i almost cant parry him because of hard dificulty being shit

idk why a difficulty mode made a core mechanic of the game almost useless

[heady parcel]

Because it was an afterthought and has not been balanced properly, it was just added because some folks were howling for hard modes

[snow flame]

also abyssal razor is goated, got it in bronze age and im in mountain stage and its still carrying

[tacit crystal]

I love handling the Abomination with battleaxe. Even in hard difficulty I was able to get it constantly staggered when keeping hitting it.

[azure yacht]

Use other strategies then

[frigid gust]

Mathematically and programmatically doing anything else would be Very Hard(tm), at least right now. They might be able to adjust it with some specific work in the future, but it's not a high priority.

[azure yacht]

What's the point of trying to play differently if you're just gonna try to use the exact same gameplay you've used so far?

[snow flame]

i do and its just dodgerolling everything, dont start with the "just x", doesnt make the difficulty mode bad or mediocre at best

[azure yacht]

Good, that means you can now save on crafting and using certain shields because you know they're not worth it

[snow flame]

still enjoying the game at hard but im just criticizing the difficulty mode

[snow flame]

nah bucklers are still worth it, like is said theyre just "almost" useless, i can still easily parry fodders

i can parry 1 of abomination's attack and its the part where it slams it's "body"

[heady parcel]

I'd actually expect a higher difficulty to simply throw more and maybe tougher enemies at me, not simply erasing a core part of the regular experience. To me it doesn't matter, I'm old and slow so the regular difficulty is about as much as I can handle...

[snow flame]

almost erasing but totally agree with you

i hope in the full release of this game, the higher difficulties get more balanced. If not, atleast make parrying the same as normal lol

[heady parcel]

My fave comparison would be good old Doom - not later remakes, but the actuall 90's game. Higher difficulties just meant more shit coming at you, meaning you'd actually have to manage ammo and use a bit of strategy. Your guns still were just as effective, the mobs were the same - there was just a HECK of a lot more of them, everywhere.

[snow flame]

hmm

doom eternal is not a good comparison as well?

[heady parcel]

Haven't played it much - my experience with Doom is mainly from when the game was new...

[snow flame]

alright before i say it, is the "ultra nightmare" an old thing or did it only come in eternal?

[heady parcel]

Doom Eternal I've played a bit on my Playstation, but me being an utter gamepad umptard means I die constantly at lower difficulties anyway

Doom first released with "Ultra Violence" as the highest difficulty. Then "Nightmare" was added later on

[snow flame]

ill just say it, doom eternal has good "higher difficulties". Take the difficulty sliders only for example, it only increases the damage you take from enemies, no "higher hp", its basically much less obnoxious than higher difficulties in like terraria past expert mode because in that game, its higher hp and higher damage

and thats just the difficulty slider, doom E has more than that like mastery levels

[heady parcel]

Yeah some games think "higher difficulty" equals making every mob a damage sponge. It sucks.

[snow flame]

im not gonna count ultra nightmare because it seems like a "character setting" rather than a difficulty slider, since it has the same enemy buffs as regular nightmare

[snow flame]

most games do higher difficulties this way: 1. enemies deal higher damage, and 2. enemies have higher hp.

if a game only does 1 of those, its already good for me, which is how eternal handled the higher difficulty sliders since its just 1 out of the 2 enemy buffs.

valheim doesnt just do 2 out of 2, but also almost erases a core mechanic of the game, which is 💀

[heady parcel]

Yeah. Well I have long since become too damn old to mess with higher difficulties anyway. Mistlands at night is about the worst I can handle. I truly dread moving on to Ashlands haha

[snow flame]

ashlands with parrying becoming almost useless is just damn

also i regret hunting for lord reto since the flame sword isnt worth it, atleast not rn.

that was like almost 2 hours trying to get all of the mysterious locations, and a few minutes trying to fight lord reto. He's not hard thankfully, just hella spongy

[heady parcel]

OH FECK

[tacit crystal]

There is hoping it will get some special effect when 1.0 is here.

[snow flame]

i also hope they fix the janky terrain with combat

[nocturne wolf]

The terrain isn't janky with combat??

[snow flame]

we should at least be able to aim our slashes downwards and upwards

[nocturne wolf]

Just move

[heady parcel]

Two star soljer. Speaking of sponges 😄

[undone remnant]

Is there a setting to make the mob AI abit more intelligent? :> Sometimes mobs run to me then they just stand or dose off again after attacking me

[snow flame]

i mean combat IS janky with terrain, most of the time if something is slightly below or above you, youre gonna have trouble hitting it unless you lure them to even ground. I dont understand why they wouldnt find a workaround for this before release

[nocturne wolf]

Some creatures intentionally try to run around between attacks, including greydwarves, boars and necks, and some enemies later.

[undone remnant]

We had an invasion and they got into our house. They just wandered aimlessly around in there without attacking

[nocturne wolf]

You don't have to be on even ground. Some attack hitboxes are higher and lower than others.

[nocturne wolf]

Did you have torches around? Greydwarves are scared of fire and won't attack if near it.

[snow flame]

yea thats why i said most of the time, but sometimes we have to lure them to even ground especially when using spears

[nocturne wolf]

Spear primary is good for hitting enemies that are higher than you, and the secondary is a projectile so it's good for any angle, more than almost all melee attacks could be.

And remember that this applies to enemy attacks too, jumping is an incredibly effective way to dodge most attacks.

[heady parcel]

Problem with spear secondary is that if you still have baddies around you and can't reach to pick it up again, you are fooked

[ember kraken]

Having played so much spear, I'm just used to it at this point, always position yourself under the opponent. It's still one of my favourite weapons in mountains because of that, just position yourself on the slop under the wolf and gib the thing.

[heady parcel]

Spear is awesome in the stone age when the alternatives are wooden clubs and flint axe, and for hunting deer before you have a bow.

[ember kraken]

Still my favourite weapon in meadows/BF

[nocturne wolf]

Spears were my main weapon in my first singleplayer playthrough and I enjoyed using them a lot, but I do prefer other weapons so I don't use them often

[heady parcel]

I'm just sad that the spear primary doesn't have a combo, it's just the simpleton stabby-stabby, which is also incredibly bad at hitting low enemies, like necks or anything just slightly below you on a slope

[ember kraken]

I joke that the reason spear has a bad rep is because everyone makes their first flint spear, and instantly tries it out against a pack of necks in meadows, and get their arses kicked, blame the weapon and never touch it again :p

[nocturne wolf]

Try it out against the necks?

[rain tapir]

guys im a bit worried i have goblin raids on me rn i have a frostner and black metal sword and platted set aswell should i be fine

[nocturne wolf]

If you can kill moder to unlock fuling raids that will also mean you are well-equipped for those fuling raids.

[rain tapir]

k bet its just shamans and bersekers which are annoying

[snow flame]

better start making a moat or erect wall maria for your base brother

[nocturne wolf]

Or just kill everything before they kill you

[rotund bay]

violence is always an answer

[heady parcel]

Zerkers are like trolls on speed, very much SMASH! and they do a lot of damage, but they are easy to avoid. Shamans are a lot more annoying, always prioritise those buggers

[halcyon thistle]

just found a crypt with a single room, with 3 blocked paths

[heady parcel]

It happens. Feels bad.

[halcyon thistle]

I love it

[magic thistle]

is there a way to turn off smoke from campfires when cooking or just in general?

[nocturne wolf]

No, campfires always create smoke when active

[magic thistle]

alright thanks

[heady parcel]

This is because the smoke is an actual mechanic - you can build your camp/hut/castle so that the smoke is not a problem.

[magic thistle]

yea kinda like some ventilation system, I wouldn't really know how to do that tbh

[heady parcel]

Just make sure there is somewhere for the smoke to goe - and meanwhile protect the fire from the weather

Bloody murder the starred seekers hit hard

I went from full health and confident to full panic in two mistimed parries

No longer 100 in swords and running, alas

[snow flame]

yep

better give them backshots to deal more damage

also mistlands give me deep rock galactic vibes

[heady parcel]

Ooooh jackpot vaegvisir AND the last two fragments in the same mine. It was worth the death!

[rain tapir]

cant build a boat cause my base is still expanding just haas a main home a boar hut and a dock which is progressing rn

[ember panther]

I've found a great spot for a mist base where a small patch of plains and black forest meets a mistlands dverger dock that goes right the the middle of this little island of mostly mistlands. Been mining down the rock spires and lighting everything up with wisp torches

[heady parcel]

Bloody murder Queen is right at the edge of the map

[heady parcel]

My best mistlands "base" ever was on my original world from when the game was first released. That seed no longer looks anywhere near like the original world does, so it is one of a kind. Anyway I found this tiny strip of Mistlands jammed between Plains and Mountain - so small that the only Mistlands mob that spawns is hares - but enough land to build a decent shroom farm. The 'squitos from the plains kept farming hares for me. It was beautiful!

[ember panther]

Damn that's a great way to farm hares. This base seems to have a lot of hares around too, I just use em as target practice with my arbalest.

In my first world seed I got a mistlands base in the old render with all the webs n stuff around. Got a portal up in a tree with stairs leading down. No mist so it's perfectly clear but nothing else spawns there other than mobs

[hazy seal]

did you know you can summon a boat you can't construct normally? to spawn it you type

spawn trailership

and basically it summons a ship, although missing features, it looks like a boat with cargo which hints it's either for raiding dvergr boats or we'd have had a wandering trader of sorts

[ember kraken]

I think it was my first mistlands, had a mountain next to a plains. And plenty of hares spawned on that mountain and ran out into plains and got killed by lox/gobs/squitos. I didn't even realise how annoying hares are to hunt until my next game.... I had so much of them for free.

I've also had success with finding places they spawn often and just put up those wooden stakes that does damage, randomly around and let them run into them.

[hazy seal]

unsure if it's scrapped idea or just not added in officially yet

[merry pebble]

Yep, it has been in the files for a long time 🙂 probably an idea devs didnt go through with

[hazy seal]

hope they add in a wandering trader you can meet randomly with the same rarity as leviathan, with selling you random limited items (always ones you use to craft something) basing on your progression

[merry pebble]

You can put that in #suggestions 😄

[steel copper]

Hey

[wide acorn]

Yall think its a good idea to get frostner before bonemass?

[nocturne wolf]

I've never done it, an iron mace is good enough and very useful against stone golems too (which frostner isn't)

[wide acorn]

You've got a point there thats tru

[tacit crystal]

Frostner melts Bonemass, but it's not needed as Iron mace is good.

[ember kraken]

Iron mace is plenty good enough. I wouldn't bother getting frostner first unless you just really enjoy the challenge\sequence break for its own sake to bypass.

[snow flame]

damn i didnt know people actually built portal hubs. Ngl i just set up 2 portals in my main base, 1 is unnamed and serves as my getaway or fast travel portal, and the 2nd is named to whatever named portal i left in various places and i just have signs listing all of the named portals all over the world so i just type the certain names into the 2nd portal so i can go to various points of interests.

[ancient fulcrum]

So I've been roaming the ashlands on my old world save (older than ashlands update) and after some 70 days of getting massacred and surviving I still couldn't get a 2-star asksvin, I hop on a friend's world and i encounter 2 the first night, wtf

[tacit crystal]

RNG. Basically mobs have 1% chance to spawn with 2 stars (10% per star).

[hollow topaz]

why arent there any mistlands runestones

[wispy latch]

One of the only reasons to ise signs is to list the names of portals

[nocturne wolf]

There are but they’re incredibly rare. I’ve never found one in-game.

[hollow topaz]

seriosuyly they exist?

[nocturne wolf]

The wiki has texts for them and the map generator website shows them too

[hollow topaz]

damn okay

there could be so much lore in the mistlands

[vocal rivet]

There is.

[tacit crystal]

My favorite of those runestones is the one where Ulf warns not taking hats off from dvergr since they have no humor.

[silver wharf]

I like the one that says to build a roof, then 4 walls to hold it up

[tacit crystal]

Or the one where Ulf tried magic and set his beard on fire.

[ancient fulcrum]

Thanks, at this point I don't even mind trading an egg with my luck shit feels impossible lol

[delicate carbon]

is the Open world RPG valheim a thing still? I remember watching that last year and I couldnt wait but then I forgot about it

[vocal rivet]

Who knows? Is it in #1024264966712340510 ? Or maybe as its modded #mods-discussion

[grand wolf]

I just came here to say I just fought Bonemass by myself and won and I'm so excited!! I was really really nervous!! So thanks to everyone who helped give advice to prep me for the fight!

[pliant hatch]

Glad you managed to achieve that.

I'm also glad to see you haven't given up after having that problem with the raft a while ago. Seeing you managed to get to Bonemass after that is a good thing.

[grand wolf]

Oh! Yeah, you remember my raft debacle with that sea serpent 😂
Thank you, Thorin!! I was feeling pretty low at that point and thinking I wasn't going to be able to continue.. but here I am, headed to the mountains next! ❤️
I literally couldn't have done it without about a dozen people giving me advice 😊

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, I remember it. I was one of those who helped you through it at the time.

I thought you could do it, but you just needed someone to give yourself the confidence you lost because of that event.
Which I'm glad you defeated boneblob, as it showed I was right about that feeling.
I won't tell you what's ahead, because you know that already. But I can tell you this: You will get to Ashland and you will be able to defeat Fader. Because you've already defeated the worst enemy this game has: desperation (and that's not Stephen King's book I'm talking about 😉 )

Besides, crossing the Ocean in a Raft in a Storm is one of the most craziest things to do in this game. If you survive that, you will survive all. 😄

[grand wolf]

And yeah I definitely remember you, I just didn't think you'd remember me. 😅 I appreciate your help that night and moreso your kind words ❤️ I sure think my friend would be proud of me tonight, don't you? 😊

[pliant hatch]

I'm certain he would.

[grand wolf]

Thank you @pliant hatch 😊😊😊

[limpid cobalt]

Hi there! New to the server. Been trying to get back into the game, and I thought it might be fun to play with someone on a new world. Is there anyone new to the game who'd like to team up with me? I've got about 400 hours in game, gotten up to the Mistlands so far.

Ping me if you'd be interested in playing!

[pliant hatch]

You might want to post that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 as you got more success into finding someone over there, as you will have over here.

[torpid yarrow]

what kind of investor are you do you invest in armor first or weapon first or use previous tier gear till you have enough for a whole upgrade set?

[warm sandal]

I use previous tier gear a long time (I mean a very long time) because i suffer from indecision. Usually I go for the spear first if there is any and the buckler (or the like) if i overcome the indecisiveness 😄 But me running around in Mistland in Plains gear for a way to long time is no uncommon sight. Defeats me why I do not do that at once once I can because I will do it anyways.

Mostly i compare the stats of the items and then find that 2 more ist not that cool, I can just as well manage with what I have 😄

[tacit crystal]

That depends, in earlier game I usually upgrade some armor and 1 new weapon first, in Ashlands I usually go for new weapons and Ashen cape first.

[hot abyss]

🫡

[agile peak]

Axe or sword in the mountains?

[nocturne wolf]

The battleaxe can work well for hitting multiple wolves at once and staggering them in one hit, but normal axes are terrible weapons.

[pliant hatch]

The one you like best. Although the iron mace is very useful over there too.

[robust token]

Bow, poison/pierce arrows, mace/sword and shield is my go for mountains

As there are Drakes, Wolves, Golem and Fu- Funling(?)

Fenrings*, ||they spawn at night||

I recommend go there with swamp tier gears

[agile peak]

Alright, thanks, I have done mountains once before and thought the mace did ok, I've never used the sword in valheim

[tacit crystal]

Sword is quite good all around weapon with similar primary attack animations as maces but different secondary with 3x damage multiplier. And unlike other 1h weapons its primary attacks have no multi target penalty.
Iron mace is the best 1h weapon against Stone golems in mountains as they resist pierce and slash but no blunt.

[cinder jasper]

It's been a while since I've been following the news. But is there any prediction for the release of the next major update?

[shy marlin]

No timeline has been given no

[merry pebble]

No unfortunately

[cinder jasper]

Ok. Thanks.

[shy marlin]

I wouldn't expect anything in 2025 tho

[tacit crystal]

Like others said, no expected timeline, but if you follow https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 there usually appear new dev blog at the end of month with some news about the process.

Oh, and also new teaser of the voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth.

[warped nest]

how fast can you unlock magic?

[merry pebble]

You get access to it in mistlands

[warped nest]

how far is that into the game i just started last night

[merry pebble]

6th biome 🙂

[warped nest]

so iv got a while before i get there lol

[merry pebble]

Yep, but once you get to it its very nice 😄

[warped nest]

right it looks good from what iv seen

[torpid yarrow]

roasted crust/piquant pies/ fiery stinew

is that best melee food combo?

[merry pebble]

For HHS yes

[torpid yarrow]

found some gems didnt unlock recipes or i missed?

[merry pebble]

Which ones did you get?

[meager fossil]

Damn, Im a bit sad that spear attacks are still these awkward overheads. They arent using the length of the spear at all

Even using 1 handed spears with shields, these "pickaxe" attacks arent THAT common

Ive never once, fighting viking style irl, seen anyone hold a spear backwards

[torpid yarrow]

jade lolite

[merry pebble]

Most likely because it would be too similar to atgeir, and not using the full lenght makes sense since you are using only one hand to actually control it, you need around half of the spear as a counterweight 🙂

[meager fossil]

I can see how you'd think that Asatru, but thats not realistic

[merry pebble]

The third one will unlock some recipe, and other than that you need the flametal weapons to get more recipes with gems

[meager fossil]

When we fight using 1 handed spear and shield, we rarely use overhead attacks. Even if we do, its not while holding the spear backwards

https://www.facebook.com/100001700481581/videos/pcb.3954270664843595/1754788638786241

[merry pebble]

I am not talking about the animation really 😉 , personally i am not the biggest fan but since i am not using spear really it doesent bother me

[meager fossil]

Take a look at this link

The spear attacks in Valheim are awkward and makes no sense

[nocturne wolf]

The spear attacks are great. Primary is good for hitting enemies higher on a slope and it’s also pretty fast, and the secondary can be useful for enemies just out of reach

[meager fossil]

Im not saying its not useful, gameplay wise

[merry pebble]

I think the issue is more about the realism than anything else 🙂

[meager fossil]

Yeah partly

Realism but also the fact that it doesnt use its length. Thats the whole "point" of a spear. pun intended

[torpid yarrow]

even in irl Spear good weapon choice light and good reach

[nocturne wolf]

If it had more length some other part of the attack should be made weaker

[meager fossil]

An overhead thrust makes sense if you need to overreach a shield or other defenses. But otherwise, a spears role, is to use its length to its advantage. It doesnt do that in Valheim

@nocturne wolf Thats a valid point, but could be a balance issue. It could be compensated

[nocturne wolf]

That’s what polearms are for, if you want a long melee hitbox

[median ivy]

I just mined 114 iron, is that enough for the entire game?

[merry pebble]

We have an atgeir for that, if also spear would do it it would be way too similar gameplay-wise

[merry pebble]

No sadly 😄

[median ivy]

Aw shucks. I just mined an additional 500, is that enough maybe?

Well with my total 614 iron I just made a helmet. I need more iron now. Lol

[meager fossil]

I mean, I can see your point when it comes to roles. But I dont think have variations for each gameplay style is an issue. It could be balanced.

[merry pebble]

That might 🙂

[median ivy]

Nah but for real though will I ever need silver again? Mid-mistlands

[merry pebble]

However, rule of the thumb is: "There is NEVER enough iron." 😄

[meager fossil]

To me personally, its like having a pistol and an SMG in the same game, but you only use the pistol for melee

😂

[merry pebble]

Just a tiny bit 🙂 and bit more than a stack if you want a certain weapon

[median ivy]

I already made frostner. What else could I need it for

Oh it an Ashlands weapon?

[meager fossil]

Arent there decorations and defenses that use iron?

[merry pebble]

No no, mistlands atgeir 🙂

[merry pebble]

Yep, but they are not necessary

[meager fossil]

Building a proper longhouse and surrounding for all fathers return is ALWAYS necessary

[merry pebble]

But there is no need for iron in that 😉

[meager fossil]

😭

[median ivy]

Which one is that, again?

Is it even worth making, cause I have mistwalker

[merry pebble]

Himminafl

Mistwalker is absolutely great 🙂 even for ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Have you crafted new cauldron upgrade to unlock some new foods?

[median ivy]

I mean is the Himminafl worth making over mistwalker? I only see mistwalker's benefit is probably the passive of working like a mini-wisp

[tacit crystal]

Both are good, partial elemental damage.

[merry pebble]

Not really, one is not clearly better than the other, if you are used to swords then stick with them 🙂

[median ivy]

The atgeir does spirit, right

[merry pebble]

No, it does lightning, mistwalker does frost and spirit

[tacit crystal]

Lightning and pierce.

Mistwalker is like Frostner in terms of damage types but slash instead of blunt.

[median ivy]

I'm not sure of any creatures weak to lightning except them stepping in water

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands has an enemy that is weak to lightning

[median ivy]

Is it only just one creature or a specific group

[merry pebble]

And enemies are rarely resistant or immune to it 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

One creature, but it’s one of the rarer, stronger enemies

[median ivy]

Well I don't see a point in making it unless something's weak to it, or if it does something better than my other weapon (e.g stuns enemies with the secondary)

[median ivy]

Who would that be?

[merry pebble]

Nobody is saying you have to make it 😄 you will be perfectly fine using mistwalker

[median ivy]

I didn't say that lol.. I just wanted to know if I ever needed silver again since I'm midway into the mistlands

[tacit crystal]

It's really good if you like atgeirs, the secondary attack has some highest amount of stagger it cause on hit.

Atgeirs are one of the best weapon class for crowd control.

[median ivy]

Interesting.. I could make it now

[merry pebble]

I would personally say the best for most of the game 🙂

[median ivy]

Thanks for that tip. I did not know that
Is that why people consider black metal atgeir good for it?

[tacit crystal]

Atgeirs are really good through entire game, especially in bronze and black metal age.

[torpid yarrow]

i jumped inside castle cleared it somehow andthis chest has 3 stacks of flametal ore and coins sitting there

[shy marlin]

yup

Now you know to not even bother with mining flametal

[torpid yarrow]

cant open this door am i missing key?

[light snow]

Just dig under

[tacit crystal]

That is one of those Ashlands moments.

[torpid yarrow]

hmm

[tacit crystal]

There is one tool for destroying doors.

[torpid yarrow]

brain barf moment

[merry pebble]

Either dig or make ||battering ram|| if you have flametal 😄

[median ivy]

One last question; Eitr armour or no? I've generally not seen any upside to it besides a bit faster eitr regeneration. I've tried 1 mage food, 1 stam and 1 health food and my eitr pool seems fine

[shy marlin]

If you're going for the mage playstyle 100% use the eitr armor

[merry pebble]

I used 2 eitr and 1 stam food when playing mage, with the eitr-weave set, you dont really need any health food since oyu have the shield staff 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Depends on your playstyle, if you go more offensive with staves you could use 2 eitr foods and 1 stamina for movement. Shield staff makes you not needing that much HP anyway.

[median ivy]

What does that shield staff do

[torpid yarrow]

whole thing seems sorrounded by unbreakable material

[tacit crystal]

You could read the description of the staff.

[merry pebble]

Makes a shield around you, absorbing certain ammount of dmg

[tacit crystal]

Basically shield that absorbs damage and breaks after limit.

[median ivy]

Doesn't tell me the full thing though.. I was asking if it summons a shield in front of me, or if I get it and its a one time use though (like if I took 1 hit it'd disappear)
Thanks though.. I'll look into probably making it
I could probably mix and match the armour, probably an eitr weave legging would be fine

[median ivy]

Is one able to increase how much damage it can take before breaking or is it always a set amount

[shy marlin]

Have to raise your blood magic skill

[tacit crystal]

Blood magic skill increases it.

🦜ing here.

[shy marlin]

[median ivy]

Lol

[shy marlin]

Just two knowledgeable vikings out here 🤙

[tacit crystal]

You can increase the duration of the shield by increasing the quality of the staff. @median ivy

[median ivy]

Thanks

[torpid yarrow]

i managed to jump through opening on roof now i am stuck inside

[tacit crystal]

Oops. Now there is only way up or down. Up with stairs, down by digging.

[merry pebble]

You can dig through the corners 🙂

[meager fossil]

Quick question, do we have 2 handed spears in the game?

I know we have 2 handed weapons like Atgeir

[keen trench]

nope, all spears are 1h and throwable afaik

[meager fossil]

👍

[torpid yarrow]

bruuu pickaxe almost broken from digging

[meager fossil]

is there any guarantee that Valheim will come to PS5 when the game reach 1.0?

[agile peak]

how do I get console to work now?

[meager fossil]

You tried F5?

[agile peak]

yeah, doesn't do anything since last update

[meager fossil]

You have -console in the launch options?

[agile peak]

yep

[meager fossil]

The last update didnt remove it for you?

Just brainstorming

[agile peak]

weird

[meager fossil]

Was it still there?

I just added -console to mine, and it works

Maybe you have to retype it?

[merry pebble]

Nope, no mentions from devs or anything really

[keen trench]

nope, no guarantee at all, i play on pc, still checking news for a friend who likes the game but only has ps, long story short: it's unlikely

[merry pebble]

Are you using mods?

[agile peak]

no, never tried mods

[agile peak]

just did

[merry pebble]

hmm, no idea then

[agile peak]

dang

[merry pebble]

It really should be as easy as typing "-console" into properties - launch options in steam and then pressing F5 in game

[tacit crystal]

Maybe asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 might help if adding -console in properties doesn't work.

[agile peak]

yea, thanks 🙂

[keen trench]

i know it's quite an unpopular weapon, but recently i tried to craft crossbow for the first time and loving it, had to rework a lot attack/move timing and strategies, but once learned lots of fun, and never had such an easy time with ||Gjalls (crossbow for Gjall + demolisher for ticks)...|| i know i'll soon dismiss it due to ||the huge pierce resistances to come...|| still very fun
-# ||fenris hood+legs, root harnesk, feather cape; HSS food; fire res. + ratatosk + lightfoot = feeling safe all around Mistlands||

[tacit crystal]

I like them too, very good for initiating the backstab bonus on targets with that huge damage. 👍

[keen trench]

yup right, not fast enough to screenshot it but i remember a succesful backstab on ||Gjall's weakspot: reported 727,something damage||

[tacit crystal]

You can also manage to ||oneshot Asksvins that have 800 HP||.

[keen trench]

uuh right, was worried about other mob's res but i'll definitely try to make it viable also in next biome

[torpid yarrow]

made asksvin armor and cape and berserk axes with green gem for rooted buff

[tacit crystal]

These resist pierce in Ashlands: ||all charred and Morgen||.

[tacit crystal]

Good choice for axes. 👍

[median ivy]

Close to best armour choice(s) for The Queen? (I don't care for Magic at the moment)

[torpid yarrow]

i mean if i go for swift armor i should pick weapon with hit and go right

[merry pebble]

Well, carapace.

[median ivy]

I was told that the root chestplate helps because of pierce but I don't know anybody that does pierce except Dverger

[nocturne wolf]

Most seeker attacks are pierce, and ticks deal pierce too

[keen trench]

well encouraging news then, i'm also well fascinated by ||blood magic mechanics|| and dreaming about ||self draining health spamming shield bubbles and then shoot super-deadly darts||, i'll see, not feeling to unlock the biome for now, maybe i'll manage to wait for 1.0 for that (still lots to do in meantime)😁

[tacit crystal]

Ah, you haven't been there yet Vincy?

[keen trench]

well, dunno for queen fight, but with "tanky" setup i still stick to root harnesk due to actually huge pierce damaging mobs in Mistlands ||(seekers? ticks? not all but part of seeker soldier's attacks?)||

[tacit crystal]

Afaik one attack of the Queen deals pierce.

[tacit crystal]

Soldiers don't deal pierce.

[median ivy]

Offtopic but nice profile, I haven't seen that jazz music stops meme in so long

[keen trench]

yup, i always kept myself two biomes behind last updates, then i couldnt resist and beat Yag before 1.0... don't think i'll do the queen anytime soon, looots of stuff/projects to complete before that eheh

[keen trench]

yup right, misremembered

[tacit crystal]

Heh, thanks. I had that pfp on my Steam account for a while but I changed it there, then decided I add the Jazz one here in Discord.

[median ivy]

Yagluth was the worst boss for me it made me take a year long break

[tacit crystal]

Nice, so you have very many infested mines to explore in the mean time.

[prisma spoke]

Made it to day four and have only died once 🎉 (I suck at this genre, having a great time, glad I picked this game up yesterday 🙂 )

[quasi latch]

Ey nice! What did you die to?

[prisma spoke]

a skeleton guy?

[quasi latch]

Oh yep, those things surprised me the first time around lol

They're pretty easy with a shield and/or dodges

[prisma spoke]

I also am having a heck of a time killing deer, bows are not my friend 😂 but all in good fun

[quasi latch]

Sneaking up + thrown spear also works wonders

[keen trench]

uhm actually i managed to do enough mines to max (well level 3 ofc) all equipment, made boss key and uncovered two boss locations (one for personal trophy! eheh), but, for instance, never tamed a wolf, then discovering new armor/weapon mixes and fun playstyles like once a week, and have big (maybe partly unrealistic) building projects/ideas 😁

[heady parcel]

Whoop, found the last sealbreaker fragments and the Queen's location in the same mine. Finally, it just tool 15 mines total.. 😄 Now of course she's right at the edge of the world, will be an epic journey to get there.

[tacit crystal]

Just more mines. They're fun.

[heady parcel]

The mines are fun, finding them can be a chore at times

[tacit crystal]

The first bow is terribly inaccurate. You could try spear throwing which is much more accurate when you learn the arc on it.

[heady parcel]

Although traversing Mistlands terrain does become MUCH less annoying with the cloak and jump mead

[keen trench]

yeh, i tried my first one relying only on ||demolisher (never crafted before, like the crossbow)||, cleared in less than 10 mins and nothing could even touch me (but it was a lucky mine with ||no soldiers||)

[versed lotus]

Do mobs in the ashlands spawn to certain player actions? A friend of mine is convinced that when we make noise (mining, chopping, plain ol combat) it causes the game to trigger more spawns nearby

[prisma spoke]

But I'm having a lot of fun and looking forward to building 😅 I DO love building in these games

[heady parcel]

Making noise attracts mobs, and I believe Ashlands mobs do have better hearing and will get drawn in from larger areas than other mobs

[merry pebble]

All mobs have the same hearing (basically 0), the noise you make have to reach their position for them to be alerted 🙂

[heady parcel]

Guess it's just that in Ashlands there are more mobs then 😄

[tacit crystal]

They spawn in larger numbers than in previous biomes.

[meager fossil]

@tacit crystal The first bow is alright, you just need to aim high at the start

The arrow falloff is just steep

[keen trench]

yup that's probably the reason, also we tend to forget that the same "they're coming from nowhere" feeling hits also in super early game as soon as you venture in bf

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but even if it's aimed higher it can go wrong way, which is why I prefer Flint spear instead.

[heady parcel]

Indeed. First time I tried mining a copper node at night I wondered what the flying fudge was going on

[keen trench]

eheh yup good times those 😁 ofc it didn't change, just those mobs are no threat anymore

[heady parcel]

Unless you really mess up. Not long ago I was oneshotted by a two star brute. I'd forgotten to refresh my foods...

[keen trench]

ugh yeah happens, at least no more neglecting-food + building-high related deaths anymore ||(thanks to feather cape ofc)||

[heady parcel]

Yeah except for that brute incident all my last 5-6 deaths have been jumping off my tower before checking food

Now thank heavens I have the feather cape

[mossy fiber]

Cause spawning, no. Do they follow the noise and investigate? Yes

[mossy fiber]

How bout the times you forget you DON'T have the cape on and jump off a high point like you do? Lol many embarrassing deaths

[torpid yarrow]

isnt max hp loss from fall dmg 100?

[merry pebble]

Correct, but not always you have 100 health, if you were just fighting something, or just running around the base with some cheap food, or if you fall multiple times in a row while building stuff 🙂

[heady parcel]

Or you've just been doing inventory tetris in your stores, cooking etc, and need to pop downstairs for whatever reason and...ohyeah, food dropped off. "Oops".

[keen trench]

yup, also mountains can kill you because of repeated "hits" during the same "fall", based on true story

[torpid yarrow]

never fell to death

[heady parcel]

Aye, last death on my tower I had almost 200 health, but I bounced off a balcony halfway down. So yeah..

[merry pebble]

You are quite lucky then 😄

[keen trench]

super true, happened many times with "secondary" characters

[heady parcel]

But, once I get the cape - it never comes off unless I die for some other reason

[torpid yarrow]

now rocking ||askvin cape from feather|| may be i will

[quasi latch]

yall seem to like falling instead of taking the stairs way too much

[heady parcel]

But...but... taking the stairs is so sloooow! 😄

[torpid yarrow]

They got da Parkooor spirit

[quasi latch]

Like, I don't wake up in the morning and think, hey, lemme jump over this fucking banister instead of taking the stairs

[heady parcel]

This is my tower in question. Jumping down really does save a lot of time... #screenshots message

[quasi latch]

This game still doesn't have ladders, right?

[heady parcel]

Just the skippy jumpy "ladder"

[keen trench]

uh nice one! pine tree foundation huh?

[heady parcel]

yeah

Built entirely without resorting to dev commands - and I actually did not fall once during building. All my deaths have come after I moved in

[median ivy]

Can you pop ancient armour and swords? I need an absurd amount of iron for my build but going to the swamps and jumping back is really grueling

[keen trench]

yup fine build, eheh, ofc incidents happen when feeling confident and lower attention 😁

[light moat]

#screenshots message gonna steal this build 👀

[heady parcel]

Yeah they can be "popped" but if you really need A LOT of iron I'd argue that raiding 3-4 crypts and sailing it back would be more time efficient. The armours seem to give more than half copper, and it's not that much to begin with.

Plus mining shit in Mistlands keeps attracting leggy things with an attitude, not to mention the honkers

[heady parcel]

I stole it myself. Saw it in a youtube video and reverse-engineered it. Hardest part was getting the right kind of pine to grow

I'll try to swap materials once I get to Ashlands, I want to build that in stone!

[paper roost]

you dont have to mine, just deconstruct 🙂

[heady parcel]

That also makes a lot of noise haha

[paper roost]

it does, but less than mining

[merry pebble]

It actually does more 🙂 it makes 50 noise and pickaxe hitting stuff makes 40. But it is much faster to deconstruct things so you might actually attract less creatures.

[paper roost]

oh, really? i thought its vice versa

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_senses#Noise i am looking here 🙂

[paper roost]

i see chopping or mining deals 100 noise

[shy marlin]

yea

building noise is also up there i think

[merry pebble]

Oh, true, i was looking to the table bellow, that must be for when it Is used as a weapon, my bad 😅

[light moat]

#building-screenshots message
stealing this too, dang black marble looks great in the Ashlands! Very nice colors

[keen trench]

riiight, ❤️ huntsman bow

[median ivy]

The...what?

[paper roost]

no worries mate 🙂

[shy marlin]

is black marble immune to the lava dmg?

[heady parcel]

The Honk of Doom

[shy marlin]

Build looks great just wondering about that lol

[keen trench]

nice! ac / ventilation pipes maybe a bit off topic, still impressive

[languid vessel]

What is the "Honk of Doom?

[heady parcel]

Loud thing from above

[light moat]

I like to think the pipes are fueling some sort of mega smelter inside the building 👀

[languid vessel]

You mean the Gjall?

The giant tick blimp things that sound like a Horncall?

[merry pebble]

Do you mean by the lava boulders that sometimes fly out of it?

[shy marlin]

no like, can blackmarble be placed on the lava pools and not be destroyed idk how to phrase it

like i know that flametal pillars can be placed in the lava areas and not be destroyed by the lava

[merry pebble]

Should be simple enough test, give me a minute 😄

[paper roost]

thats a good question

[languid viper]

anyone wanna play ?

[quasi latch]

#1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

Nope it is not immune, it gets destroyed 🙂

[shy marlin]

Word

[merry pebble]

Bird?

[light moat]

Dumb question… but shield generator doesn’t protect it?
Haven’t really tried building in the Ashlands much.

[shy marlin]

Shield generator protects from the fire rain but it doesn't protect from an object being placed on lava

[merry pebble]

That only protects from weather and projectiles 🙂

[light moat]

I figured, makes sense! 👍

[arctic garnet]

Is it just me or do the iron torches light up a lot more area than the hanging lanterns?

[heady parcel]

If you mean the dvergr lanterns then yeah. It's the tradeoff - you don't have to add fuel, but they illuminate less

If you mean the hanging brazier fueled by coal I don't think there's a difference

It counts as a fireplace, so maybe a bit less?

[arctic garnet]

Hanging brazier illuminates pretty solidly I think, but yeah I mean iron torch vs. hanging lantern.

[shy marlin]

Man berserker potions are so op lol

[heady parcel]

Chickens don't eat flax, right?

[paper roost]

you become alcoholic 😁

[shy marlin]

fr drinkin every 20 seconds pretty hardcore if you ask me

[nocturne wolf]

Drinking every mead should give the feeling sick debuff

[light moat]

Nah, we’re not light weights

[nocturne wolf]

Drinking every mead includes drinking lightfoot mead

[tacit crystal]

Our vikings are already dead, so they don't suffer from hungover.

[obtuse remnant]

is there a lore reason why some monsters instantly drop loot on death and others have a delayed drop?

[shy marlin]

There should be an achievement for having every potion effect on ya

[vocal rivet]

Lore reason? I don't think so.

[merry pebble]

"How did we get here?"

[nocturne wolf]

I think it's suggesting that your weapon physically destroyed the enemy rather than just killing it, such as with blobs and skeletons

[heady parcel]

...or they just didn't want to bother with ragdoll death physics for certain creature models. As much as I would have loved seeing a seeker soldier tumble down a cliffside, I understand why they don't.

With skellies it makes a lot of sense, and is very satisfying as well to send bone splinters in all directions

[tiny tiger]

When you bash a necks head in and it does the 0.1 second t pose upon death

I always assumed the delay is meant to announce significance

[shy marlin]

???????

[tiny tiger]

Enemies more likely to have a longer death delay are usually those who drop something of good use such as trolls with their troll hide, abominations with root and guck or soldiers with mandibles

Although the more I think about it the more this analogy breaks down the further you progress into the game, I believe valkyries and morgen just poof almost instantly ?

[shy marlin]

It's consistently inconsistent

Like Fader has a full on ragdoll, queen doesn't etc

Although i think most enemies just poof yea

[mint aspen]

Abominations and trolls seem to take the longest

[tiny tiger]

Maybe there’s something that ties it all together maybe the devs just winged it and made it up as they went along lol

[shy marlin]

think it's the last option lol

[nocturne wolf]

Generally bigger creature = longer ragdoll. If I remember right lox last a while too

[tiny tiger]

tameables last a decent amount too and deer

[mint aspen]

I cant get over just how far you can yeet greylings with the crossbow. Especially if you're on a slope.

[heady parcel]

I suspect it is simply an evaluation of "time to program the death ragdoll tumbling" vs how cool it would be

[nocturne wolf]

-# Deer aren't tameable

[merry pebble]

You know those arent tameable right? 😄

[tiny tiger]

Mb guys lol

[shy marlin]

how dare you

smh get a load of this iGod guy

[nocturne wolf]

How long is the t pose for bashing an iGod's head in?

[tiny tiger]

I disappear into a plume of smoke immediately

[merry pebble]

Do you drop a trophy tho?

[tiny tiger]

No I’m the equivalent of a greyling

[merry pebble]

Shame 😄

[nocturne wolf]

You drop the trophies of the necks you kill

[agile peak]

Anyone ever made a troll fight an abomination and how did it go?

[merry pebble]

Abom win

[tiny tiger]

Pretty entertaining fight

Usually easier to get a troll into the swamps than an abomination into a Black Forest tho

[heady parcel]

I lured a two star seeker into a fuling village earlier tonight, holy high hells that bug went on a rampage

[shy marlin]

I've had a two star seeker soldier clear out a fuling camp for me

[heady parcel]

Those things are horribly tanky

[shy marlin]

Was a relatively small fuling camp but was still very entertaining, the 2x slam attack staggered then killed a berserker

[agile peak]

I still haven't made it past early mountains in valheim, but I did once manage to lure a lox into a swamp to fight a bunch of draugr

[heady parcel]

Lox vs tar blobs is something spectacular

[tiny tiger]

Early mountains is the best tbh

You’re out of the dreaded swamps finally and not far from having permanent immunity to cold

[agile peak]

I did wonder if I could somehow trap some wolves in a pit and tame them before actually going into the swamp

[merry pebble]

For sure you can 🙂

[tiny tiger]

It’s certainly possible ive never tried myself

[merry pebble]

But it is hard

[tiny tiger]

Wouldn’t say it’s worth it for anything less than a 1 star tho

[heady parcel]

I ran a server where there was a huge mountain close to spawn, freshies kept getting murdered by wolves and fenrings coming down from the mountains at night

So in theory I guess you could get pet wolves aready at the stone age 😄

[agile peak]

I'm not bothering with bronze armour, only weapons and troll armour

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor only has 6 less defense but doesn't slow you down. It's better

[tiny tiger]

Going from troll straight to iron? Or skipping iron too

[shy marlin]

Bronze armor is the biggest noob trap it's pretty funny

[agile peak]

I'll try to skip iron and just upgrade troll fully, maybe get iron helm

[heady parcel]

yeah even I (heavy armour lover) have started skipping bronze, troll is perfectly fine and you keep your movement

Iron armor is imo the best looking heavy set

[agile peak]

I got frost resistance potions the second I entered swamp, so could skip it

[quasi latch]

Thanks for letting me know, as one of said noobs

[vocal rivet]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with bronze if that suits your playstyle.

[meager fossil]

How do you guys feel about using Atgeir as a main weapon? I read that it lacks behind at bosses and general mistland

[shy marlin]

Anybody else love getting 6 more armor and getting a -10% movement penalty 😎 sure seems good to me

[shy marlin]

Atgeirs are really strong, himmin afl is great, bosses yea it's not the best

[tacit crystal]

I fell on noob trap when I played the first time.

[shy marlin]

So did I

[meager fossil]

I always go full bronze. I dont care lol. I like how it looks, and i like steady progression

I could skip, but why would I. The game is fun in all stages for me.

[shy marlin]

I mean yea play how you want but mechanically bronze armor is very sus

[exotic swan]

I love the Atgeir, especially in the plains when a bunch of fulings gang up on you

[meager fossil]

@shy marlin Why do you think its sus? Its just more armor.

[nocturne wolf]

6 more armor is not worth it for -10% movespeed

[shy marlin]

^

Troll armor should get nerfed so that the gap is a bit bigger between the two, and a light armor is actually a light armor set
