valheim-chat

[shy marlin]

Which is completely fine, play how you want 👍

[meager fossil]

But I think you make a good point on troll needing to be nerfed. I mean it looks very light armor-ish. Its the whole sneak, light armor gimmick. It being that much better than bronze doesnt make much sense. It should just be "different"

[tacit crystal]

Bronze armor is clean looking armor I agree with that. But I personally find more uses for bronze in something else.

[meager fossil]

Theres also the point of people playing multiple times. Not wanting to replay all stages and try new content faster

[exotic swan]

I used to be a young naïve Viking and thought The Swamps was where boys turned to men, but then, I reached The Mistlands.

[agile peak]

Make troll armour green and boost the sneak bonus slightly and nerf the armour quite a bit, maybe give it a small bonus to bows and knives for an even harder armour nerf?

[nocturne wolf]

Why green? Like all armor, the visuals of troll armor are based on the materials used to craft it, and troll hide is blue.

[meager fossil]

@nocturne wolf In the process of making it, we dye the skin to match the surrounding areas, making it more stealthy.

[agile peak]

I know, it would just make sense that you're more sneaky, they could add a dye element, like add neck hide

[nocturne wolf]

NECK HIDE

[shy marlin]

say whatttt

[azure yacht]

They should just remove the sneak bonus, change it for something more powerful and maybe even give it weakness to pierce as compensation

It's bright blue, how could it help you sneak? The bonus should be strong enough to compensate the weakness to pierce

[meager fossil]

I like the sneak bonus. Its my go to set, if I die and have to go back to my dropped items.

[agile peak]

Some people like being sneaky and doing backstabbing or using bows

[meager fossil]

But what I WOULD like to see, is a change to attack animations for spear, so we use them LIKE SPEARS

[azure yacht]

You are using them as spears

[meager fossil]

Hell no

[agile peak]

Like stabbing stuff further away?

[nocturne wolf]

This is what polearms are for

[azure yacht]

The only thing that's wrong with spears is their reach and possibly knockback. Nothing else

[summer hinge]

atgier superiority

[meager fossil]

I fight in actual viking irl, and study reenactment and history. The way we use that spear is NOT how you use a spear

[azure yacht]

Great, now you have reasons to use bronze armor over troll set

[meager fossil]

So passive aggressive. Thats not very Keanu like

Did I misunderstand what was said?

[nocturne wolf]

Who's Keanu

[lusty dirge]

Sorry, deleted my message because I was too slow and the chat had moved on

[azure yacht]

Seriously, people will read whatever they want...

Ffs

[shy marlin]

🤔 if there's a consistent pattern maybe it's not the people reading your messages

[meager fossil]

Yeah because misunderstandings isnt common in human communication. jesus

Also, theres a reason why face to face communication is more effective

[azure yacht]

Thing is that I have noticed a pattern on the people that point those things out.

[meager fossil]

And because you see a pattern, instead of understanding those people you decide to be condescending towards them?

[shy marlin]

I wouldn't feed him

[meager fossil]

I need to resist the urge

[vocal rivet]

Who was being condescending?!

Thanks!

[meager fossil]

I love your name @south skiff

[vocal rivet]

O_O @ 'pronouns are stupid'.

[meager fossil]

Thats a very political statement, that I dont particular voice while engaging in communities. Not sure why you wanted to bring that in here, rather than getting me in trouble?

[vocal rivet]

It's in your publically available profile, I just happened to notice it.

[meager fossil]

Ill be happy to tell you WHY I have that stated on my profile, but this isnt the place

[shy marlin]

Rule 9 👍

[vocal rivet]

No, you're absolutely correct, it's not the place for it. It would definitely be a rule breach.

[shy marlin]

We must protect the integrity of the official valheim discord 🫡

[meager fossil]

@vocal rivet Btw Derek, love your photo. Its friendly

[vocal rivet]

Ok?

[meager fossil]

Just giving you a compliment

[vocal rivet]

Oh ,OK, thanks then.

[meager fossil]

I was trying to lighten the atmosphere 👍 np

[south skiff]

Valheim? More like Valheim. Am I right you guys?

[heady parcel]

True enough. Problem with the Bronze set as I see it is that it sits in a funny place progression wise. As the first heavy armour set it - naturally - doesn't have a lot of armour. Which, considering its significant resource cost, really makes it an inferior alternative to the Blue suit that is not far behind in armour but does not come with a movement penalty AND has the sneaky bonus on top. Plus once you move around the Black Forest a lot the mats for it come at your without you even trying... Whereas getting enough bronze for a fully upgraded bronze set takes dedication.

[vocal rivet]

Well, I'd never fully upgrade any set, so the bronze requirements is not that high.

[heady parcel]

Well, if it isn't upgraded the bronze set is even less attractive, then it literally has nothing on the blue suit. Now I've always made the bronze suit in the past because I like how it looks and I really don't like the colour of the troll suit - but weighing pros and cons it is hard to find any arguments speaking for the bronze suit, other than the fact it looks good..

[meager fossil]

For me its also about "realism" in the realm of a fantasy game. What I mean is, I would assume a full bronze armor set, would give a heck of a lot more defense than some hide. It at least LOOKS more protective. But thats very RPish

[heady parcel]

I'd say giving it e.g. reistance to blunt damage would give it a reason to exist. It would make it shine vs the blue guys in BF.

But afaik no heavy sets have a set bonus so far

[meager fossil]

What set bonus could heavy armor recive that would make sense? Less stagger maybe?

[shy marlin]

Bronze getting blunt resistance would be way too op

[tacit crystal]

Stagger limit increase could work with heavier armors.

[heady parcel]

Yeah. I'm not so sure blunt resist would be that OP. At that stage the only mob doing blunt damage is trolls - and they hit fricking hard anyway so it would be a godsend. Now some meta min-maxers would probably find a reason to use it later in the game due to that, but that's fine really. But a stagger limit buff would work too.,

[meager fossil]

Heres a gimmicky idea for a set bonus for heavy. Running into weaker enemies at full speed, staggers them 😂

[heady parcel]

Wasn't there a helmet in WoW with something like that, a charge with knockdown/stun?

[meager fossil]

Ive seen that effect in a few RP games Im sure

[heady parcel]

Anyway it seems devs consistently think heavy armours don't need set bonuses, so it's all hypothetical anyways

[meager fossil]

Well Im not sure they do either. You generally trade movement speed with more survivability

[tacit crystal]

More armor doesn't always equal as more survivalibity.

[shy marlin]

eg fenris

[meager fossil]

@tacit crystal How so?

[heady parcel]

Agreed. It's just the bronze one that is in a weird place by barely actually giving any more survivability despite having the movement penalty

[nocturne wolf]

More speed can help you survive as you get hit less. It also affects the stamina cost of jumps and rolls.

[heady parcel]

Being the first metal armour you can make, it is pretty underwhelming

[meager fossil]

Definately. dodging is another survivability

[tacit crystal]

More experienced players usually rely on movement over tanking hits, especially when/if playing higher difficulties.

[meager fossil]

Is tanking/blocking not viable on higher difficulties?

[merry pebble]

Not really, too much dmg

[meager fossil]

What are we refering to here? I wasnt really familiar with "higher difficulties"? Are we talking later biomes?

[tacit crystal]

As higher difficulties increase the damage output of enemies they deal more damage and stagger much more regularly, which means death more often.

[nocturne wolf]

There is a world modifier that changes combat difficulty

[tacit crystal]

The difficulty you can adjust from world modifiers.

[merry pebble]

Higher world modifier combat setting

[meager fossil]

aaah okay

[tacit crystal]

Higher armor is more valuable in normal difficulty than in hard or very hard.

[nocturne wolf]

It multiplies damage before armor is applied, and with the way armor works that makes it significantly less effective.

[meager fossil]

Yeah that makes sense. I only ever reached mistlands, and in there, getting hit by 1-2 star heavy enemies, you need maxed armor. Even then its painful. I can imagine that higher difficulties, armor becomes less important

I only play on normal difficulty too

What weapons excels in higher difficulties then? on normal I always default back to shield and 1 handed

[heady parcel]

Same here, not a fan of difficulty settings that change the actual mechanics of the game. I prefere when higher difficultys simply means more enemies, all the time. Rather than a regular mob suddenly wrecking you for no particular reason

[nocturne wolf]

The enemies aren't too much tankier so the same weapons are generally as effective

[meager fossil]

@nocturne wolf Yeah but shield is generally used for tanking builds arent they? With parry and crit attack follow up?

[shy marlin]

Can't really parry on the harder difficulties because it's just pure numbers changes

[meager fossil]

I assumed a dodge build on higher difficulties would rely on other weapons

[tacit crystal]

As enemies deal more damage parrying becomes much harder as you get staggered by trying from bigger mobs.

[meager fossil]

Yeah, so do people generally play 2 handed weapons?

[nocturne wolf]

I haven't played on any high difficulties myself, but high-stagger attacks such as mace and polearm secondary can still reliably stagger some enemies on those difficulties

[shy marlin]

yup, atgeir is probably the best melee weapon on very hard

[tacit crystal]

Atgeirs is king weapon type.

[meager fossil]

Even though it doesnt perform well on bosses?

[shy marlin]

Bosses are a small part of the game

[tacit crystal]

🦜 again.

[meager fossil]

Good point lol

[tacit crystal]

Earlier bosses don't resist pierce so against them they are good too.

[meager fossil]

Dont judge me, Im tired, and my brain doesnt work because of long time stress

[shy marlin]

Bosses on very hard you just use the same weapons you would normally use on normal

[tacit crystal]

We are not judging. 👍 At least doesn't seem like to me.

[shy marlin]

yea no one is judging lol

[meager fossil]

Ah, I wasnt sure what you meant with the parrot 😂 I thought you meant I was being silly or something

[shy marlin]

The two of us just have very similar minds

[tacit crystal]

I meant when Scales and I repeated the same thing at the same time, which happened earlier today too. 😅

[meager fossil]

Fair 😂

I think Ill give Atgeir a chance. I always use shield and mace. Its about time I evolved a bit

[shy marlin]

Expanding your arsenal is always a good thing to do

[meager fossil]

Yeah but my only worry has always been dilluting my weapon progressions

[shy marlin]

Like skill levels?

[meager fossil]

So if I main atgeir and I reach mass, my mace wont be super effectiv

[shy marlin]

Your mace will be still super effective against bonemass just not as much

[tacit crystal]

Even with low skill lvl maces are the best option.

[meager fossil]

Maybe I overestimated how much those levels actually helped?

[tacit crystal]

They are nice, but not necessary to be effective.

[shy marlin]

There's some things where skill levels are really really nice to have, like bow level and blood magic, but for in general it doesn't matter

[meager fossil]

and swimming 😄

[tacit crystal]

Yeah bow and blood magic are good exceptions where skill lvl matters more.

And jumping basically doubles the jump height when it's lvl 100.

[meager fossil]

jesus

Time to exercise those thighs

Alright thanks for teaching me some things here

Sidenote: I still think my character looks like an ashamed toddler who sh*t his pants, when he is overencumbered

[shy marlin]

Still think tuba music should play while being encumbered

[tacit crystal]

What kind of tuba music we're talking about?

[shy marlin]

good question

[meager fossil]

Thats the goodest question asked today

[tacit crystal]

I have an idea: https://youtu.be/GSgYTV-Tks0?si=MH93XI056tHeFafM&t=35 (starting from 0:35)

[meager fossil]

Heres a better option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0&ab_channel=Duran

ayo

mods ban this guy 🤣 (it's a joke its a joke)

[meager fossil]

[shy marlin]

dang it's been a long time since someone has gotten me

[tacit crystal]

Huh, it doesn't look like THE url..

Got me too.

[meager fossil]

With a victory like that, Im BOUND to reach Valhalla or Folkvangr

[shy marlin]

Brother i warned you 🤣

[meager fossil]

Or get slapped by a mod for posting off topic link here

[tacit crystal]

Not until you've proven Odin, which is possible when Deep North.

[nocturne wolf]

I didn't click on the link until I saw what you said then I was curious

[tacit crystal]

Tbh I clicked it before you wrote anything. 😅

Observed the defeat in silence.

[meager fossil]

Im bedbound now. Have a wonderful evening, it was fun 👋

[median ivy]

Is there not a way to just make a Dverger lantern "hang" normally. I don't want it to hang off a wall or look like a lamp post. I just want it to hang from the ceiling

[opal wyvern]

Is there ANY way to light houses better on console? Performance mode feels like I’m on a cave, and quality is awful fps. Balanced is unavailable for MOST people because consoles don’t have display port so a lot of monitors can’t do 120.

[fallow pasture]

Good evening everyone, I'm playing solo and such, and I've literally been going to every possible night of the game for almost a month in search of a 2-star Asksvin and I've NEVER found one. If anyone has one, could you give me a 2-star Asksvin egg if possible? It would help a lot, and I can still trade it for some other item or resource within my reach.

[ocean garnet]

returning after some time off and recently updating to windows 11. does the game generally run better in vulkan or directx in win11?

[strong pendant]

hellooo

Looking for anyone to enjoy my dedicated server with. I am mostly the only one to frequent it atm

[buoyant panther]

[magic thistle]

is there a way to turn my valhiem world into a server?

[livid grail]

@wooden niche

I'ma get off for the night but we can talk more tmr if you want.

[trim nacelle]

I think I have one in a chest in one of my worlds. I can check if you still need one.

[dire pumice]

howdy

[plush umbra]

fastest way to level up skills?

[lunar sapphire]

Not dying

[plush umbra]

fair enough

[lunar sapphire]

I'm not saying that you are but that's one method 😄

[plush umbra]

you think its a worthy trade off to put combat difficulty on hard but deaths on easy so you dont lose as much skills?

idk how all this works still im still new

probably will just keep normal

[merry pebble]

Dont worry about skills much, they are not really needed for anything 🙂 one of the more inconsequential parts of the game

[white cape]

has anyone ever beaten the game on hardcore mode? lol

[tacit crystal]

Define hardcore: some think it's only the higher difficulty preset, some think about permadeath run.

[white cape]

Well I'd be impressed with either tbh. Just wondered if the permadeath, no maps/portals, very hard combat etc would even be possible

[tacit crystal]

Not yet fared to very hard, but I have hard preset world where I'm attempting permadeath, Yagluth is next in that world.

I've done regular permadeath on normal without magic, then bows only challenge permadeath. I have also 2h weapons only perma going on.

Haven't attempted no map/no portals tho.

[heady parcel]

Planning a no-portals world next time around. Not really interested in the higher combat difficulties though, they just seem to shrink the game in a way. No-map could be fun, mapping manually and raising beacons and markers around the world as I explore. Must take a brutal amount of time though?

[rain flare]

Yes - it’s why I don’t do that 😂
The only modifier I like is more raids cause more raids = more resources and excitement

[snow flame]

Same, no map just seems to be a more tedious task rather than actual difficulty

[heady parcel]

Not so much about difficulty really, just another way to approach exploration, if you enjoy that kinda thing. It's cool that the option is there

[chrome badge]

#1024264966712340510 this channel is better suited to this post.

[ember kraken]

I'd agree with the statement it depends on if you just mean the combat modifier or all the rest.

Before we had world modifiers I played through the game we had up until then (beating the 5th boss in plains), using the CLLC mod to let enemies spawn with as high as 5 stars, much more frequently, and with special abilities. And on par that would probably be even a bit harder than the hardest difficulty slider by itself.

I found it incredibly tedious tbh, because it flat out made shields useless (due to the damage scaling system it works on), and I was basically stuck using and abusing pathfinding and terrain for everything. 5 star lox could take around 30+ minutes to kill just because it's a titanic hitpoint sponge. I had to build workbenches to repair my bow and make more arrows etc.

[winter prawn]

thank you

[rain flare]

I don't have time for that sort of nonsense

I want to play to enjoy the game - that sort of thing would just upset me on so many levels 😆

[ember kraken]

So yeah I got through it, don't remember how, but I'm pretty certain the 5th boss was a mix of terraforming pillars to hide between, an inventory full of ice arrows, aoe damage through walls with iron sledge, and just constantly running back and forth to a safe terraformed spot with repairs, fire to get back rested bonus etc.

[rain flare]

I'm honestly just impressed that you had the fortitude to do that 🔥

[ember kraken]

I remember finding a BoneyM altar and spawning him, and he spawned with the Regeneration ability. And I just flat out gave up, packed up my entire swamp, stuffed it on a longhip and sailed to find another swamp with another BoneyM altar to spawn him again.

But yeah, I've tried a little bit of "hard" on the world modifiers, but mostly stick to normal. Just because that's where I feel the combat works the best. I find it more fun to limit myself in gear upgrades, than to up the difficulty sliders.

[fallow pasture]

Hey, thanks man, but I already received it last night, I really appreciate it.

[rain flare]

Yeah
I'm playing modded with some magic, but I'm only using troll hide, flint and finewood bow
It's a nice challenge but I always have a pinch of magic to get myself out of trouble ❤️
Just as a nice change of pace

[ember kraken]

I do enjoy sequence breaking (and been doing that by accident since my first game anyways). So I often get my challenge that way.

But yeah, the more I played with CLLC and again later with testing the difficulty sliders, the more I feel that it forces me into specific patterns. Basically 2handed weapons because shields become more useless the more damage the enemies does. Pathfinding and Terraforming becomes better and better since you're just worse off in terms of stamina\health compared to enemies, and bows and stagbreaker just becomes better and better because you want to hit without getting hit back, and dodge is the only way to survive.

[rain flare]

Nothing like walking into the wrong biome by mistake and getting smothered in enemies 😆

[ember kraken]

I did most of this before mistlands released, so haven't really tried much difficulty stuff in mistlands. I find it annoying enough as it is anyways :)

[paper roost]

i found the hard combat best balanced, normal is too easy, very hard too punishing

[ember kraken]

One advantage with Hard was that squitos actually hurt again. Had forgotten that they could do damage.

[rain flare]

LoL

Queue me sneaking into the plains for tar

[ember kraken]

Back when I played most actively, I just got so bored with squitos, that I just dodged their attack and hit them with my fist. Think I killed them in 3-4 punches? Been a while, forgot.

[rain flare]

Man playing an epic game of swat the mosquito 🤣

[ember kraken]

Out of practice now so don't dodge them as well, so just squat them out of the air with a random weapon when they approach. Usually doesn't care if we trade hits, because they do so low damage anyways.

[rain flare]

Normally this is me cause I couldn't be bothered to try and kill them bar-handed 🤭

[ember kraken]

Can recommend (as always) the Stagbreaker. Learn the timing, and just smack them out of the air with the aoe before they get near enough to hit you. They have so low health that the stagbreaker is overkill.

[rain flare]

Mmmmm
Try it with knife for extra reflex challenge 😆

[ember kraken]

Tried it, can't say I had much success with that.... possibly one of the most annoying weapons in that regard.

[heady parcel]

Circumnavigated a largish island/continent and timed it so perfectly that I was paddling against the wind the entire time. Turn around and go the other way around? Use Moder? Naaah...

[undone remnant]

Will sailing look different in real boats? My raft is like a sub marinie under water most of the time 😄

[snow flame]

sequence breaking like getting finewood bow pre eikthyr, and frostner pre bonemass is some funny shit

[snow flame]

yes but not only that, they will be much faster and it'll have storage slots, and they're more durable

[undone remnant]

Good ❤️ Was afraid it was a design flaw 😄

[ashen geyser]

Whats the chance for bonus yield on 100 farming? I know that by the time you get 100 farming you finish the game(or not) ,but im just curious if anyone knows.

[light moat]

25% chance I believe, but it takes a loooong time to get to 100 farming 👀

[ivory goblet]

Does stars on boars impact how long it takes for them to de-agro or the range they have to be agro'd?

[shy marlin]

I wanna say no? but honestly not sure

[light moat]

Nope, only stats really

[ivory goblet]

They still won't de-agro even when I am not near them

[merry pebble]

Are there any torches or fires nearby?

Yeah a bunch of torches

Take them away 🙂 they are scared of fire

ya valheim official discord just built different fr

[ashen geyser]

|| could you craft before the bog witch update(food preparation table) the uncooked misthare supreme and uncooked meat platter without the mortar and pestle? i cant remember||

[heady parcel]

Thing is, there's a steady stream of folks who drop in and aren't willing to commit a few minutes to read the discord rules or scan the available channels to see if there's a specific channel for their wants, instead they start asking in the chat channel right away. After having seen that a bezillion times, some people grow tired of it and will simply stop responding politely, out of sheer exhaustion. To answer your original question - do check the #1024264966712340510 , looking for ppl to play with is the reason it exists.

[chilly thunder]

hi just quick question because i have an itch to play, what is roughly the eta on the ice biome, is it like a matter of months or at least a year in the future?

[merry pebble]

We have no idea really, i personally wouldnt expect anything this year tho

[heady parcel]

Nobody knows for sure, but I would not expect it before the end of this year at the earliest

[chilly thunder]

so might as well just play now no reason to wait

just dont wanna be super burned out with it releasing just as im finishing

[heady parcel]

There is plenty to do as is, no reason to wait really. You can pause when you reach current end game, or just build/explore/make new worlds or - gasp - play other things while waiting. Me, I took a break before Ashlands, and now that I'm back I haven't even gone for Ashlands yet. Don't have time, so much else to do haha

[heady parcel]

No, had to have upgraded cauldron

[ashen geyser]

you make them at the food preparation table which is level 1 without the cauldron improvement and i think it shouldnt be like this ,maybe im wrong.the cauldron improvement gives you || mushroom omllete and salad||

[meager fossil]

@tacit crystal Vanilla is hella expensive

I hear its the most expensive spice at the moment

[still barn]

does anyonw know when the next big patch is gonna drop? i dont wanna start a new modded run with friends just before big changes come

[azure yacht]

no

[ashen geyser]

we don't know

[vocal rivet]

I think saffron will always beat it.

[still barn]

rgr, i didnt know if there was a roadmap or a eta type thing

[azure yacht]

there isn't

[still barn]

thanks

[meager fossil]

@vocal rivet Thats what I thought. But when I was working in a restaurant, the head server told me that Vanilla has gotten more expensive than saffron. I think the explanation was failed crops. Like how coffee and chocolate is now quite expensive.

But I could be wrong

[prisma spoke]

Update: did successfully convince Mr. Messewix to also grab the game to play with me and we are having a great time ☺️

[meager fossil]

Fair enough! Hope you guys have a great time!

He constantly wants a game to play together and has vetoed everything else I've ever suggested 😂 so I am glad I've found a winner

[candid loom]

me my girl and kids all play this its fun in a group

[gaunt venture]

im new to this game. is it possible to find items like good weapons and armor in chests you find?

[vocal rivet]

No. You have to craft that.

[gaunt venture]

o dam

[meager fossil]

Looting is still worth it. Valuables can be used for certain.... transactions 😎

The overall gear progression feels nice, despite there being no direct gear drops

[tacit crystal]

You basically collect materials and get new recipes for craftable items you have gathered correct materials to.

[undone remnant]

Is there a way to tie boats to the dock? Or are they just floating next to it?

[tacit crystal]

Boats stay still, there is no tie or anchor.

[undone remnant]

Say that to my boat. Its backing slowly out of the dock :<

[tacit crystal]

If it's too close to the beach it might get pushed back. You could make some blockade for your dock to prevent it moving if it does that.

[undone remnant]

Ahh I need to beach it. Though it could be docked at a dock

[tacit crystal]

What I meant was that it might get pushed back when waves make it go up and down and touch the ground underwater which results to it getting pushed back.

[undone remnant]

So we risk the waves stealing our boat when we are out and about? 😮

[nocturne wolf]

Boats don’t move if you’re too far away

[undone remnant]

Wish there was a park/hoister function :<

[nocturne wolf]

Just jump out

[wispy latch]

Boats can't move unless someone is in it

[undone remnant]

We came back to a missing raft on day 10. Not sure how that happened then

[wispy latch]

broken, and the components have despawned

[tacit crystal]

Mobs might attack your boats if left unattended.

[undone remnant]

I meant. We logged off for the night and when we came back next day (real life day) it was gone

[frigid gust]

Enemies can destroy boats if they see them at the shoreline, and after three in-game days the materials will disappear. And some of them sink outright. Other than that, disappearing things like boats is usually a sign that the server may have crashed and not saved state.

[merry pebble]

2 in-game days 😉

[severe kettle]

hello..
when update deap north? . how long , am wait this)
anyone know?

[merry pebble]

Hoooly, so many people in few minutes...
No eta, will be done when it is done

[shy marlin]

lmao

[nocturne wolf]

When it’s ready!

[azure yacht]

in five seconds

[severe kettle]

ahahah

[azure yacht]

It's been in every media about valheim surprised you haven't known

[merry pebble]

Cmon now Rianu... 😏

[raven heron]

lol why can a 1star berserker full hp stack 200hp through padded armor while blocking

this game is so brutal man

[tiny tiger]

Not a fan of it so far just feels like release Ashland’s but harder the seals keep killing me as soon as I land

The horses that you can teleport through portals with a cart attached to them are useful tho

[nocturne wolf]

Just keep them away from the bears

[median ivy]

Steroid infused guy with gigantic club

[merry pebble]

He shouldnt do 200 dmg even with no armor, atre you playing on higher difficulty?

[raven heron]

figured out the dodge cycle, either 1 or 2 attacks between hte attacks and run if he does the triple

[raven heron]

i think the server might be on a higher difficulty yeah

[merry pebble]

Ah, then there you go 😄

[nocturne wolf]

If he does the triple attack, run around instead of away. That way you stay close.

[raven heron]

true

[nocturne wolf]

Just be careful with the way he moves. His speed changes throughout the animation and you could get stuck against him if you aren’t careful.

[raven heron]

yeah i know it pretty well

i noticed that tar pits are great for reducing enemy hp lol

[merry pebble]

And luring enemies to attack each other is even more effective than on normal difficulty 🙂 since while their dmg is increased their hp isnt, the player dmg is lowered instead to effectively give enemies more hp while figting players.

[wet coral]

is there like classes in this game?

[merry pebble]

Not really, but you can choose your own playstyle

[quasi latch]

There aren't classes, but you can switch combat and stat styles with food, armor, and weapon choices

Very open-world

[trim nacelle]

In the beginning you are limited to what you have on hand, but as you progress, you gain access to more possibilities to set up different builds like melee, ranged, stealth, and mage.

[raven heron]

why the hell are fires going out in middle of plains its not even raining

im guessing its the wind cus its fine when i make a house

[trim nacelle]

I have never noticed that. I’ll keep an eye out for it

[merry pebble]

Wind doesent matter, only rain, maybe you have roof too close above them?

[raven heron]

then my only guess is there was invisible tar on the ground

[ancient agate]

I've made a couple wolf and boar breeders, but I started on a new seed and I want to try some new designs. Does anyone have tips for what build pieces are large enough for 2-star wolves to stand on and feed, but let the cubs fall through

[unreal pike]

did they remove the sound when you got an extra drop from farming?!

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think so

[unreal pike]

for some reason i aint getting the sound

i need that sound, its the most satisfying thing ever added

[fluid karma]

what weapon to get with silver? the frostner?

[dire pumice]

oh yeah, that happens to me sometimes too. I wonder what causes that to happen

[pliant hatch]

If you prefer to use maces, yes.
If you prefer to use swords, the silver sword may be a better choice.

[median ivy]

I'd go with frostner since its probably one of the only weapons to have 3 different damage types

Silver sword is pretty good too, saved my life a couple of times before

[nocturne wolf]

The silver sword is best for the fifth boss and also useful in ashlands, but you can also make both

[median ivy]

Wait, how is it good in the ashlands
I thought frostner was good because frost hurts undead

[nocturne wolf]

Spirit damage is what is effective against undead, and the sword has more spirit than frostner

Silver sword does more damage than mistwalker against charred, for less stamina too

[median ivy]

Interesting. Might remake a silver sword now because of that

[fluid karma]

ive never tried a sword so i cant compare really. Just been using maces

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner is a good weapon so you should definitely make one, but now is a good time to get started with swords too

[tacit crystal]

And Silver sword is one of the most clean looking swords in game.

[median ivy]

A full white sword does in fact look clean

[fluid karma]

is sword better against those golems

[glossy dune]

Silver sword is looking amazing and is great in Ashlands also, expensive to make though

[tacit crystal]

Iron mace is the best option since Golems don't resist blunt.

And they also are immune against frost.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, the most expensive 1 handed weapon in terms of metals.

But silver is easy to gather.

[tepid prawn]

Also so fun to mine tbh, I also do like how we mine Flametal, and it fits being hard and all because 7th biome, but silver is just so damn good feeling to mine, when it pops, and you only have to fight wolves / fenring at night and then golems and drakes

and you can "throw" a cart full of silver down the mountain near a shore so its close to your longship to haul it off

[glossy dune]

My next playthrough will be bows, swords and atgeirs only, silver sword with silver shield is really good looking combo

[shy marlin]

Sounds like a fun playthrough

The true trifecta, atgeir bow and sword 🤙 love to see it

[merry pebble]

@unreal pike @dire pumice The sound Is still there but berries do not produce it due to a bug 🙂 Is it possible that you noticed it while picking those?

[kind iron]

No Armor?!

[median ivy]

No Food?!

[quasi latch]

No wood?

No mouse, keyboard, or controller?

[magic thistle]

if my friends leaves the game on the boat and I move with it, he should stay on it when I log back in right?

[dire pumice]

yeah, its definitely not happening often with the berries

[vocal rivet]

He'll log back in where he was, I think.

[quasi latch]

Nope

[magic thistle]

ok thanks

[quasi latch]

I've heard a lot of stories of people getting stranded out at sea because of that

[kind iron]

If it were the other way around it'd be too exploitable sadly

[quasi latch]

And much less funny

[fathom gulch]

Is there anything new with this game lately? I haven’t played in years

[slim remnant]

whats the last update you remember?

[tepid prawn]

did you play Hearth & Home, Mistlands, Ashlands, Bog Witch update? You might have a lot to catch up on

[fathom gulch]

I’m pretty sure the last time played was before any of the updates lol

[main ridge]

Hey, i have a question. If i came back to my old save from a year ago, do i have all the new stuff from previous updates? I mean the new biomes etc

[slim remnant]

well then you've got hearth and home, frost caves, mistlands, hildirs request, ashlands, bog witch

and probably a few other small updates I'm missing

[heady parcel]

Hah, a little like me before. I bought it on release, played it a little bit but got sucked back into my then gaming addiction (fricking WoW) and never picked it up again, despite really liking it. Then I came back during Mistlands and there was just SO MUCH game to explore. And now there's even more - so enjoy!

[near furnace]

yes

in any unexplored areas, the new content will generate

[whole cairn]

Is their a mod that allows me to increase my skill lvl by using potion or food?

[heady parcel]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[glossy dune]

I meant weapons, no magic, of course any armor and food. Playthroughs with magic especially make it much much easier

[azure yacht]

In years? Nope, literally nothing has been added, it's completely abandoned even

[merry pebble]

Cmon Rianu... I know it may be obvious but there is no need for this 🙂

[rain flare]

I’m doing the same sort of thing but I’m sticking with troll armor, knife, and ice staff (playing modded so I took some liberties in my new playthrough 😂)

[heady parcel]

The irony when Mistlands is less misty than Plains half the time

[glossy dune]

Mistlands are beautiful without the mist xD

[heady parcel]

Oh yes, love (and hate) the terrain there

[shy marlin]

Patterns. 😉

[heady parcel]

I'd love to be able to remove the mist once the Queen is offed

[glossy dune]

Once you get feathercape and that mead for jumping, its a game changer

[heady parcel]

Oh yes

Without the cape, every step you take is a gamble haha

[nocturne wolf]

You can dodge everything

[glossy dune]

also insane how mobile you are in the mountains with that @heady parcel

[robust token]

Does it?

[heady parcel]

Sadly, no

[robust token]

Aw

[shy marlin]

Can’t dodge roll one of gierhaffas attacks 🤓 👆

[robust token]

Hmm.. the Wisp Light can't be upgraded, right?

[rain flare]

I know this is a controversial take, but I prefer the mist gameplay wise

I played mistlands right out the gate on a patch of land that had NO most due to generation things on already loaded chunks

It was not fun having seekers spot and chase you from across the map and having no easy way to evade gjall

[heady parcel]

I don't mind it, I'd just like to see more of the gorgeous Mistlands once I am past it progression-wise

[rain flare]

I can get that ❤️

[robust token]

Nothing more scary to hear the Gjall in the Mistland

[heady parcel]

Yeah. Hearing those honks getting closer and closer when all you can see is mist... <shudders>

[nocturne wolf]

Can't roll through Fader's wall of fire AOEs, Charred Warlock AOEs, Dvergr ice nova, fireball or fire clusterbomb AOEs, Gjall shakes or Bonemass AOEs either

[heady parcel]

Terrain generation/rendering magic - just saw a pretty substantial mistlands cliff just sink into the sea and disappear

[rain flare]

Especially when they just appear on top of you 😂

[robust token]

Hopefully this level 2 Arbalest is a good investment

It can one shot most enemies

most enemies below Plains

[nocturne wolf]

With a higher skill level and a backstab it can do a lot more damage

[robust token]

Good to know, I did realize it can one shot Fulings if they weren't notice

[glossy dune]

Gjall giving a lot of War of the worlds vibes, cant see it and hearing those loud noises

[rain flare]

Like all things in Valheim, decent skill makes using the thing easier

I am still eagerly awaiting the day I make a feast and get 2 instead of one 😂

I especially want the boar feast cause it would be like I’m such a good cook that I magically produced an whole extra boar out of thing air 😂

[terse raft]

morning lads, been replaying Valheim for a while with my Bestfriend, we having a blast

[rain flare]

Glad to hear it! 🔥

[lusty onyx]

Soo has it become a thing where no one gets to ashlands??

4th community server where no one goes all the way to ashlands...

[terse raft]

we lost made it

but the boat broke and we died

😂

[lusty onyx]

It's easy to get to ashlands but bruh.... Im so tired of no one making it to the ashlands boss

[unkempt oar]

So I have a question, With the mod "Plant anything" the ability to scale Trees is an option, However what I am looking for is a Mod that give me the power to adjust the scale of the trees in the world when they are generated and get the feel of the forest more after my liking. Is there any mods like this ?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[robust token]

#mo- nvm

[unkempt oar]

Ty That channel was hidden for me

[shy marlin]

Two uncs in valheim chat love to see it

[terse raft]

i never beated Plains bosses yet

i kept content for later has updates are still dropping

[lusty onyx]

How long have you been playing?

[terse raft]

since the game came out

[merry pebble]

Be carefull so you don't get the name too😂

[lusty onyx]

That's wild to me

[robust token]

Is "Unc-Asatru" a viking-ful name?

[terse raft]

it is, but restarting games with so many different people..

and groups disbanding before mist land..

[tacit crystal]

Nah, he got Smiffed.

[merry pebble]

Nah, just Smiffe having fun 😄

[robust token]

We got three Unc now

[lusty onyx]

I've been to ashlands 4 times and it's always just me and my bestfriend

[lusty onyx]

That's wild

[robust token]

Who is Smiff

[tacit crystal]

Smiffe is one of the devs.

[merry pebble]

Look top right 😄

[robust token]

Guessed it

[terse raft]

i had a friend i played with and had so much fun, but he totally stopped playing because of one his G/F , etc. Now we don't talk to each other anymore. 🤣

[lusty onyx]

I've been playing since it came on Xbox and I've been to the Plains boss 14 times

[robust token]

Ah, I see. On mobile now but yeah, I see

[terse raft]

yeah i don't play that much, i mean i got 400hours.

[lusty onyx]

I have 600 at most tbh

[terse raft]

I got my solo game where im at Moder soon.

and the game with my best friend who is discovering the game, so we are taking it slow

[robust token]

I don't play much and 400 hours doesn't mix well

[lusty onyx]

Nice bruh

[rain flare]

We should really have a 100 player public server for people to mess with

[robust token]

I only have 100 hours but I already in Mistland

[lusty onyx]

Xbox players would crash and someone would fuck it over

[terse raft]

sadly, playing with others. that want to rush the game isn't for me. and if they play while im not playing they go too fast and do all the content

so im very happy taking it slow on 2 games like that

i made two portal places in our games over the weekend, ive showed my game one in #screenshots

[lusty onyx]

I take it slow when there's new content

[rain flare]

Same - I like just playing and spending time together with friends

[lusty onyx]

But I just wanna be at the ashlands boss with an actual group of people that I built a server with

[rain flare]

First time playing a friend and I spent ages just getting to mountains…
And we had one right next to our main base 🤣

[lusty onyx]

See that is me and my friend spending time together

[robust token]

I'm probably gonna work on another base in the Black Forest to add some challenge to my gameplay

Or one in Mist

Big Base = Long Grind

[rain flare]

Feel that man
Second go round I played with a friend RIGHT until we hit the Ashlands boss

Then we stopped playing cause he got busy and didn’t want to tango with Le drango 😂

[terse raft]

we got killed so much just fighting wolves with my friend. and our armors are upgraded its funny

[lusty onyx]

Right!! See why is this so fucking common it shouldn't be a common thing

If you can stay on the same game constantly like cod for years and never change why is val so different

[torpid yarrow]

i can see few ways to cheese final boss doind it the hard way seems time waste rather than Fun since i know there is efficient way

[rain flare]

I died so much to that!
Mostly cause I was in bronze standing by a campfire trying to tame them 😂

[lusty onyx]

I'm totally ok with cheesing bosses shit elder is easies to cheese

[rain flare]

Becons in campfire…

[torpid yarrow]

only thing i can get out of killing final boss is placeholder right?

[terse raft]

i really came here to chat about stories and share some screenshots about the game, its still such a beautiful game and i love building (playing with default settings.)

[lusty onyx]

The deer boss is littler just torches and a shield

[shy marlin]

And the forsaken power yea @torpid yarrow

[lusty onyx]

For now

[rain flare]

The Elder getting cold feet on his first date and asking vikings for help…

[lusty onyx]

But the deep North is coming... Why is no one hyped for that.

[rain flare]

What we came up with 🔥 🔥

[terse raft]

i mostly never tamed animals, mostly friend did it sometimes..

i like hunting so i see no points in taming them xD

[torpid yarrow]

ill prolly start new save for that didnt know they have in game stone portal that is unlockable for travelling everything would have not changed seting if i knew that

[vocal rivet]

The hype is crazy right now.

[wide wagon]

Is there a good way to get lots of blueberries? I walk around the black forest but htere just arent that many bushes that I see

[torpid yarrow]

i saw someone mention they even have settings where they can transfer metals related to the boss tier after defeating them

[lusty onyx]

No it's not...

[rain flare]

Infinite carry capacity lox says otherwise

[terse raft]

Lox are big and strong

i would start with boars

[vocal rivet]

Respectfully I beg to differ.

[rain flare]

Is rng dependant
Some forests have tons of bushes

Others don’t

[torpid yarrow]

i think they going by i dont see it so there isnt.

[vocal rivet]

Always a compelling argument.

[terse raft]

just like some blackforest have no crypt, or swamp without dungeon to mine iron

[torpid yarrow]

i wonder if maxed out skill adds dmg or reduces stamina per swing or somehing

[nocturne wolf]

Weapon skills increase damage and reduce stamina

[vocal rivet]

Depends on the skill. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Skills

[torpid yarrow]

so it will be handy to chop 1mil trees before reaching black forest

or do type of tree(lvl) matter for leveling up?

[shy marlin]

doesn't matter what tree

[rain flare]

Leveling is based on how many times you hit something or perform an action

Hitting a log 100 times is the same skill level as hitting Yggdrasil branches

[heady parcel]

Same as fighing reall, afaik hitting greylings and necks 100 times equals beating ashlands mobs

[terse raft]

yes

and dying removes some 🥲

[lunar sapphire]

temporarily misplaces them

[wispy latch]

And using a flint axe to chop down trees instead of a blackmetal axe means more hits per tree, so more xp per tree.

[nocturne wolf]

A stone axe would be even better

[nocturne wolf]

Why would you be hitting necks

[lunar sapphire]

Stonxe

[wispy latch]

Stonkx

Maybe higher tier axes could get a modifier to woodcutting xp they grant…?

[tacit crystal]

Stonks.

[torpid yarrow]

in next playthrough i would prefer to build as if i live there and not as if its an outpost

[heady parcel]

Mince Meat Sauce, yummy! Plus those dumb lizards have a severe attitude problem paired with delusions of grandeur. It is hard to avoid having to hit them quite often if you have a meadows base.. 😅

[terse raft]

totally that

[light moat]

If you’re leveling up woodcutting, don’t use the woodcutting power 👀

[rain flare]

The best way to level up anything is to hit the object in question with the weakest option in your arsenal

Leveling trees?
Use a stone axe

Killing mobs with a knife?
Use flint

You gain xp based on how many times you do a thing
Or in this case hit an object

Fastest way I levelled my blocking skill was a good old tower shield with skeleton raids 😂

[terse raft]

my shield skill is always low has i don't use it a lot

[rapid bison]

I tend to parry with bucklers more than persistent blocking, though harder to do online.

[nocturne wolf]

I dodge more than I block

[rapid bison]

Same, even around trolls when I have an upgraded bronze shield.

[chilly forge]

Anyone done a hardcore playthrough up to Ashlands? Looking for advice

[exotic swan]

I'd recommend checking out the Paak_hc on twitch, I don't think he's made it to the Ashlands yet, but has made it to the Mistlands quite a few times with no deaths

[chilly forge]

Alright I'll have a look, so far I've managed to make it to the swamp.

[unreal bear]

you also unlock a new really good feast spice recipe from the bogwitch.

[heady parcel]

Cheezus, is the queen site always defended by a group of starred seekers? I can't remember getting this tough a fight last time I approached. Barely survived even with bonemass

Aaah right now I remember, last time it was in an area without mist, I could rain arrows down on them from across a bay, they never even reached me

[unreal bear]

yeah I remember often seeing either a starred seeker or seeker soldier or group of seekers, yeah there's usually small group guarding and 1 usually has a star

[heady parcel]

Was one two-star and two one-star, and I aggroed them all at the same time. Haven't had this tough a fight since forever

[unreal bear]

haha yeah the 2-starred seekers hit very hard. usually combination of good foods, bonemass, and some potions and you can get the job done

[heady parcel]

Yeah I expected trouble so I came prepared

But I didn't expect THAT much trouble, phew

[torpid yarrow]

players usually sleep on throwables

[heady parcel]

Grenades? To me they're mostly useless except for base defence, when a bunch of mobs shuffle about the same place. Won't give them an inventory slot normally

To do real damage the target needs to be more or less stationary

[unreal bear]

i admittedly never use throwables. a friend was talking about the struggle to farm rabbit meat. I mentioned that I usually use the staff of embers. he's not using eitr food, so he mentioned that he uses ooze bombs and that they work incredibly good. I had never even considered it

[heady parcel]

Ooh that's an idea, gonna try that out

Otherwise I leave most hare hunting to 'squitos. Got a long stretch of mistlands vs plains border where my shroom farm is, walking up and down the frontier can give 10 hare meat on a good day, without needing to kill them myself 😄

I suppose bombs could be really useful vs soldiers once you've cheezed them so they're just standing there looking at you hungrily

By the way, I adore how cooked seeker meat looks like giant calamare

[tacit crystal]

All foods look delicious, even that.

[vocal rivet]

Heh, Reddit post complaining that the raspberries are clearly strawberries and wondering when it'll be fixed.

[tacit crystal]

Redditors haven't touched even grass for long time, even less possibly the real raspberry bushes, can you blame them. 🤷‍♂️

And here in Nordics raspberries can be quite large.

[heady parcel]

Haha dang, got the "They were bros, man" event but the boss ran off chasing greys and disappeared in the woods

So now I have a boss on the loose in the forest

[vocal rivet]

Wait till they realise that cloudberries are real.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, and they grow in more swampy areas.

[zealous thicket]

Huh I thought they always looked like they had the 'druplets' (not sure if correct term) that look like a bunch of little balls which would be a razz thing. Strawberries always seem to be more dimpled and pitted

[heady parcel]

Hmm, seems the boss despawned. I didn't think they'd do that. I've found Brenna running around the woods days after her raid ended

[undone remnant]

Is Iron Armor minimum for entering Mountain? Biome wise it goes Meadows -> Black F -> Mountains right?

[wooden tapir]

yes but its open world, you can go to any biome you want whenever you want, you just probably wont have a good time

[light moat]

Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to have at least iron or root armor, yeah. Some people manage to get by using other (or no) armor though.

[undone remnant]

Cause we are on Bronze gear now.

[terse raft]

Wolves hit very fast. without any good armor your in trouble

[undone remnant]

Feels like weve been in Meadows/Black forest for a long time :d

[wooden tapir]

thats usually the longest part of the game

[light moat]

Have you defeated the boss of the Black Forest? What is your current goal?

[terse raft]

i take a lot of time in Swamp

[wooden tapir]

you dont have any skill lvls, or any good harvesting equipment, so it takes a lot longer to get everything

[undone remnant]

We got a map note for "The Elder"

After doing a bunch of dungeons in Black Forest. But it looks to be far south.

[light moat]

Nice, might be a good idea to start planning an adventure towards that then. Remember to bring a portal!

[undone remnant]

Is Elder a Black Forest boss? Its across the water far from the forest?

[wooden tapir]

there are a lot of other "black forrests" in your world

[light moat]

Have you made bronze nails yet, by the way?

[undone remnant]

Ahh

Yeah we build our first ship last night. (bronze nail question)

[wooden tapir]

sailing is a lot of fun, but it might take you a few to figure it out. its not really like sailing in any other games ive played

[undone remnant]

I find it rather intuitive as I spend most of my life on a boat :< (wind diretion etc). I see we need Fishing to get iron.

[light moat]

Fishing isn’t a requirement to get iron, it’s just one way to acquire. It definitely won’t be your big source of it.

You’ll find a clue of what to do next upon defeating the boss 🙂

[undone remnant]

Wiki said other way was to spawn it in via "commands"

[light moat]

Commands are pretty much just tools for technical stuff, not intended gameplay.

[latent wraith]

throws a snowball from the Deep North at some random person in chat.

[light moat]

Gets hit by a snowball randomly while exploring

Black Forest checklist
-Good carrot farm going
-Fermenter built
-Forge + upgrades
-Cauldron, good supply of food
-Black Forest tiered gear
-Smelter + kiln
-Bronze nails crafted, build a karve
@undone remnant this might be handy!

[undone remnant]

Is black forest tiered gear Troll/Bronze armour?

[latent wraith]

Yeah,

[heady parcel]

Why is the salad prepared at the cauldron and not at the food preparation table? Logically it would be at the table, so just an oversight from when the table was added, or a "fudge it" to keep some things with the cauldron?

[undone remnant]

Can you capside the boat by turning too fast?

[light moat]

Extremely unlikely, but It’s possible

[latent wraith]

I think it's technically possible to capsize but it's extremely hard to do.

[terse raft]

capside ?

[latent wraith]

I guess the way to do it would be to cross a wavecrest at high speed and then turning on the way down.

[undone remnant]

So how realistic is the wind in this game? Is going 1/3 speed ahead better when the wind is cominig directly at us? Or will 2/3 still be faster?

[heady parcel]

I think you need to time a very bad turn with a very big wave for it to happen

[merry pebble]

Capsize, turn upside down

[terse raft]

woah, never seen that

[merry pebble]

Yeah, it really really hard to achieve that 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

When the wind is coming directly at you, you cannot use your sail and must use the minimum speed

[undone remnant]

Yeah. Thought so. But it felt like 2/3 still was abit faster. Might just be my brain

[heady parcel]

More likely to have the boat fall apart from wave damage before you manage to capsize it

[terse raft]

i do think sailling is too much a walk in the park, but i guess new things could appear eventually.

[latent wraith]

When sailing you have the compass where the wind is shown, if it's straight in your face the wind indicator will be grey and then it's best to have the sails down, if it's white it's good to have the sail fully down.

[light moat]

Like actually sailing the boat? Or the whole sailing experience?

[heady parcel]

Generally, paddling is better than cruising at an angle, which is convenient but a little sad

(if you need to go up against the wind)

[terse raft]

just having sea serpent attacking you

which are easy to get away even without wind power

[gusty anvil]

new player here, anyone wanna play rn?

[undone remnant]

Is there a max to the Karve storage?

[heady parcel]

Four slots

[undone remnant]

But in terms of weight?

[heady parcel]

No

[heady parcel]

Ask in #1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

Ships are not affected by weight of things that are in their storage 🙂

[tardy hornet]

Is ashelands not as laggy as before or still kinda laggy?

[chrome badge]

Depends how you are playing Ashlands & you're system tbh

If you just let a Morgen destroy everything and leave all the objects on the ground, you're probably going to encounter lag

[wide wagon]

A body pile inside a village spawned a 2 star draugr elite

And I only have the troll armor

[heady parcel]

Don't get hit. Kite it away from the others, isolate it, wear it down

[tacit crystal]

It can happen sometimes.

[nocturne wolf]

Draugr elite attack hitbox only reaches 1.2m up, easy jump

[wide wagon]

Hes locked inside the building where he spawned, but keeps attacking the walls

Yeah they are blocked by the 2 high walls, other guys can run through the cracks

Which means they cant chase me, but on the flip side I cant easily go for melee without breaking the walls

[nocturne wolf]

Place a workbench and use your hammer to destroy the walls

[undone remnant]

Are there seamonsters?

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents can spawn during rain or night

[undone remnant]

so day = safe travels?

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents spawned by the rain can’t despawn so they may be found later during clear days

But they are balanced to be killed with black forest equipment

[undone remnant]

What shields will block trolls somewhat effectively? If any?

[merry pebble]

Bronze buckler, you have to parry

[undone remnant]

so skull shield no?

[nocturne wolf]

That should be good enough too

[undone remnant]

Maybe my blocking is too low then

[nocturne wolf]

It could be your health

[undone remnant]

Prob. Only at 65-75hp ish

[nocturne wolf]

Another option for stopping a troll from hitting you is by staggering it first with bronze atgeir's secondary attack

[terse raft]

build the stronger bigger plank shield

there's one in wood early own, you run slower but blocking power is better

[undone remnant]

I have a Bone Tower Shield atm

[tacit crystal]

Tower shields have higher block armor than round shields but you cannot parry enemies with tower shields.

[terse raft]

what

[regal sentinel]

Hey guys... I'm trying to do a little doublejump mod... but i always get the error. “IsOnGround” is not found...
can someone help here?

[nocturne wolf]

The parrying armor of a buckler/round shield will be higher than the same tier's tower shield's block armor, which means they have the least amount of attacks they can successfully block.

[undone remnant]

When I hold mouse2 button is that Parry or Block?

[tacit crystal]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might help.

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying is performed by blocking an attack less than 0.25 seconds after pressing the block button and not holding a tower shield

[tacit crystal]

Block is when you hold your shield, but parrying needs timing just before the hit connects.

[vital lion]

Anyone wanna Join me?

[undone remnant]

Got it

[tacit crystal]

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

[undone remnant]

#1024264966712340510

[vital lion]

I dont know how to navigate that shiiii T_T....Sorry

[undone remnant]

So why would I ever use a Tower shield? Are there any niche uses for t hem if they cant parry?

[undone remnant]

You'll learn ❤️

[nocturne wolf]

They have high block force, knockback dealt when blocking (which in most cases isn't particularly useful)

[vital lion]

I hope so

Im new though...Any tips on the swamp biome?

[nocturne wolf]

They also cost the least stamina to block with

[tacit crystal]

They are useful when playing the first time when parrying is not so sure yet.

[tacit crystal]

Poison res, good armor and don't go during night.

[nocturne wolf]

Generally they aren't worth it, but hopefully they can get some kind of buff with 1.0

[vital lion]

Is copper Armor good enough?

[tacit crystal]

Either troll or bronze armor is enough.

[vital lion]

Aight thanks...Any weapons i should use?

[tacit crystal]

What are you using rn?

[nocturne wolf]

Slash damage is good for abominations, and blunt for blobs and skeletons

But blobs and skeletons have low health so other damage types still work well

[terse raft]

never knew you couldn't parry with bigger sheild, ill have to test that

[vital lion]

A spear thingy and an axe and a bow and a towering shield

[terse raft]

you can do that even with a weapon, the parry

[latent wraith]

Tip: There are dangerous things in the Mistlands.

[light moat]

You definitely cannot, it’s unique to tower shields.

[nocturne wolf]

If you look on the information when hovering the mouse over them, they show no parry bonus

[terse raft]

weird i never notice when ive used it

[vital lion]

U cant parry with a tower Shield?

[latent wraith]

Nope.

[vital lion]

I wonderd why my shield wouldnt parry...I thought i was doing it wrong T_T

[tacit crystal]

I'd advice trying a blunt weapon, either fully upgraded wooden club or bronze mace (quality 1-2 is enough IMO). Otherwise seems good.

[undone remnant]

Is Swamp before Monutain?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, mountains is the fourth biome and swamp is third

[undone remnant]

Hmm. Havent found swamp yet.

[vital lion]

So thats why i got destroyed on the mountain T_T

[nocturne wolf]

Mountains generate closer to the centre than swamps

[tacit crystal]

Parry differs from regular block with a loud klang noise and enemy getting staggered.

[light moat]

It’s more of a ching! 🤔

[tacit crystal]

It might be translational thing. But loud noise nonetheless.

[light moat]

I’m just being a goober, don’t mind me

[wintry valve]

about blocking: you can block or parry with weapons too. Shields are better at it of course

[nocturne wolf]

Knives, bows and ||crossbows|| don't have increasing block armor throughout progression, so they aren't any good for blocking past the start of the game.
-# || I would love to be able to parry enemies with a crossbow then shoot them in the face ||

[tacit crystal]

But you can, by ||using staff of protection and parrying while having the shield bubble||.

[nocturne wolf]

||Why not use dundr if that's the case?||

[undone remnant]

So Bronze armour is still an-upgrade from Troll eventhough they both are "black forest tier"?

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze armor has 6 more defense but -10% movespeed, I don't think it's worth it. It's not an upgrade, just an alternative choice.

Comparing both sets at level 3, 6 defense isn't much

[undone remnant]

Im personally gonna build a tank archetype.

Girlfriend is going bows. Would troll a armour be better for her then?

And I stay Bronze for tankyness.

[nocturne wolf]

With later heavy armor you're more tanky, but the difference is just too small in this biome. I'd reccomend using the troll armor anyway.

[tacit crystal]

||I currently go with HFF combo with enough eitr to cast the bubble and using crossbow to raise the level||.

[rain flare]

Big shield = more block power (you can block more damaging hits) but you can’t parry

Parry increases your block power even higher than a tower shield, but comes at the cost of you needing to time it

Mistime it and you are gonna get REALLY hurt 😂

[undone remnant]

So carry two shields would be okay I guess

[terse raft]

i always get hurt

i prefer just killing first ask question later

[nocturne wolf]

If you're using a tower shield and your main weapon isn't a knife, you can just unequip your shield and use your weapon to parry most enemies

[undone remnant]

Can you throw spears? Or is it a weapon just like a sword/mace?

[nocturne wolf]

The spear's secondary attack is a throw, and the primary attack is melee

[undone remnant]

Do you have to run and pick it up all the time then?

[nocturne wolf]

Only if you miss. If you throw it at an enemy right in front of you, you can immediately pick it up, effectively using it as a slightly stronger melee hit.

[terse raft]

there's a third attack with mouse wheel button i think, always forget about that

and some weapon doesn't hit well down like spears. i have to keep axe with me

[nocturne wolf]

No weapon has three attacks. The mouse wheel is the default bind for secondary attack.

[undone remnant]

So Spear+Shield could also be a tanky setup but just with range ability. But if I hit the enemy I have to get in melee range and pick it up (instant pickup, but still getting in close?)=

[rain flare]

I love using spears with my big shield for this very reason

[nocturne wolf]

Won't the slow speed be a problem trying to pick it back up?

[rain flare]

Also, when you throw your spear, it normally does enough damage to stun most targets

Throw it at something directly on front of you and then pick it up to punish then severely while they are staggered

[undone remnant]

Is it a waste of Bronze to lvl 2/3 Swords/Spears etc?

[rain flare]

Only if your enemy is too far away - when they are closer you can literally walk up to them and stab then 2-3 times while stunned

[rain flare]

Nah - there is a ton of bronze in the game

[nocturne wolf]

I usually upgrade everything to level 3, level 4 is where it gets too expensive

[rain flare]

It’s just stupid expensive 😅

Especially for bronze

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, quality 2 or 3 is good enough to most equipment in early game.

[undone remnant]

So how far out do we need to venture to get to the moisty swamps?

[kind iron]

I'm currently doing a playthrough where I create and fully upgrade every item, mostly before moving onto the next biome. It's a grind, but fun. Pretty much untouchable.

[nocturne wolf]

Usually not much further than the Elder's spawn. Look out for large, dead trees.

Also if you see any plains biomes, stay away

[undone remnant]

Gotcha. Also say you have your hammer out and are building stuff. Is there a hotkey to swap to repair? Or do we need to right click and then manually click on the hammer from the build menu?

[nocturne wolf]

You can only begin repairing with the build menu

[latent wraith]

Swamps start appearing 2km from the centre of the world. Black forests start at 500m for comparison.

[meager fossil]

I just learned about the mead Ketill

But if that makes mead bases, but does the fermenter do now?

[nocturne wolf]

The fermenter has never made mead bases. It's used to turn mead bases into mead.

[meager fossil]

Oh right, I forgot

Thanks for clarifying

[terse raft]

always wondered that

interesting to know it works that way

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes finding swamps require sailing, but they are easily spotted by low terrain on water level and high dead looking trees.

[azure verge]

Having ventured into a misty biome for the first time, I am having the usual mix of joy and suffering. I know this is a frequently vented issue but I just need to say I am having a really hard time finding ||mines. 2 so far in a large mainland mistland bordering plains and mountain, and found 5 cores which I gather is pretty good luck. but just can't find any more mines. Any tips? I've heard to look for Lion King-eque Pride Rocks sticking up 😄 and clusters of Seekers, or Dverger structures with a goopy basement.||

There is more of the biome across the sea so I suppose I will just bring portal mats and keep on exploring! o7

[signal bloom]

Don't waste too much time on small mistlands areas. Find The REALLY big land masses of mistlands and scope those out in detail

I struggled with this for so long and wasted so much time combing through small land masses of mist, that I caved and used a map gen to see what I was doing wrong.

What I was doing wrong is most mistlands dont have anything unless theyre huge swathes of mistland territory - so i was looking in the wrong spots.

[halcyon blade]

I just learned you can get a sneak attack off on a boss. Took out half of eikthyr's health in one hit with a knife power attack right as it spawned in.

[glossy dune]

Tiny little difference in mining between antler pickaxe and blackmetal one lvl 4 🙂

[undone remnant]

Can you just outstay the night in the boat?

[nocturne wolf]

64 pickaxe damage is a lot more than 18

[vocal rivet]

Hm? You can stay in a boat as long as you want.

[undone remnant]

I meant to avoid raids/mobs at night

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents could find you but nothing else

[undone remnant]

Even close to shore?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it has to be an ocean biome

[undone remnant]

Im exploring the map. Wanted to just stay close to shore during night time and then far from land at day.

Would love a dock feature :< We build this nice dock but it seems pointless since beaching the ship is easier/faster.

[nocturne wolf]

Just jump out of the ship when it’s in the right place

[undone remnant]

Still abit clunky.

Just a small QoL.

[vocal rivet]

No more clunky than trying to navigate into a pointless dock.

[undone remnant]

It wouldn't be clunky if there was a system/mechanic in place for docking at ports/docks.

[vocal rivet]

And then it all goes in a box anyway. Just seems a lot of work.

[azure verge]

thank you!

[woven topaz]

need balance to damage this fuckin askvin it is so annoying and pressure to me to uninstall valheim xd

[nocturne wolf]

You can turn down combat difficulty to receive less damage from enemies

[undone remnant]

Is the Earth flkat? :d What happens when you get to the edge?

[nocturne wolf]

You fall off, die, and cannot retrieve your grave

[tacit crystal]

There would be one way to find out. But to save you from that: ||you drop out from the edge and die||.

[vocal rivet]

We're not on Earth though.

Why did that reply?

[undone remnant]

Is there a warning or is it just insta once you reach it?

[tacit crystal]

There are strong currents that will lead you down and you die during the fall.

[wooden tapir]

you can see the edge, but no actual like warning. if you get to the edge its just over

[undone remnant]

Is it at the actual edge of the big circle map?

[wooden tapir]

yes

[undone remnant]

Found Swamps and Plains now

[wooden tapir]

if you would like to avoid suffering, dont go plains

[undone remnant]

Im just mapping out the world by boat

for later while my GF sleeps :d

[marsh barn]

hey so my server that i host for friends, it seems like our seed is kinda bad in terms of terrain generation. we're considering starting in a new world with a new seed but is there any way to tell if a seed will be alright without actually mapping the entire world?

[wooden tapir]

there is a website that will show you your seed, it shouldnt ruin gameplay if you are the only one to look at it

and dont abuse some of the tools it has

[marsh barn]

yeah i know about that, i suppose i could use it sparingly and try to not memorize the locations of stuff lol

if we do swap i will probably use that mapping tool to find the spawns of the first few bosses, our plan is to just keep our characters and take our useful stuff to our new world

[wooden tapir]

just make it not show anything, its highly unlikely that you can memorized the enitre map

[marsh barn]

good idea. is there a way for me to find the boss altar locations of only some bosses and not all? lol

[wooden tapir]

yea, that website has individual boss locations

[marsh barn]

awesome

our current map just feels reaaaally annoying to get around. one large mostly enclosed ocean surrounded only by the first few biomes, hard to sail anywhere without getting out of the big bay first. and lots of tiny little islands barely big enough to hold one single house

[wooden tapir]

can i get your seed?

[marsh barn]

yes give me a few min cuz im dealing with a bat invasion lmao

[wooden tapir]

"the cauldron stirs"

[undone remnant]

That calls for a Michael Scott quote :d

[marsh barn]

yep

[undone remnant]

Should we worry about our seed on first playthrough? 😮

[marsh barn]

i HATE the damn bats. didnt even know that event was a thing

[exotic swan]

depends on how much immersion you want, some people will scout out a seed to get an easier run, but for first playthrough it might be better to just not know

[undone remnant]

Feels like we just wanna stay in our world forever. Unless something is directly broken.

[wooden tapir]

its a lot more fun going in blind, i usually ruin it if i look up seed

[marsh barn]

yeah the only reason im considering it is because my world just seems really janky

and i only know that because i have some previous experience in the game

hey dale how do i actually find the seed? it's a remote hosted server that's always online, not a regular game world hosted from my pc

maybe thru the server management panel on the site? ill check there

[undone remnant]

Does trees grow out again if you leave the stump?

[wooden tapir]

that im not sure tbh

[exotic swan]

do you have a cultivator yet?

[vocal rivet]

No, only trees you plant will grow.

[wooden tapir]

no, its actually better to remove the stumps as they take instance space in the area

[undone remnant]

Gotcha

[marsh barn]

a good tip for cutting stumps, use the special attack on your axe for the vertical swing, sometimes you can miss the stumps with the horizontal swing

[wooden tapir]

most people dont remove the stumps tho, its kinda tedious early game

[marsh barn]

agreed

[wooden tapir]

i do it just because i hate looking at them

but when i play with friends they usually leave them, and ill go clear them after

[undone remnant]

lol. I just realized I could use alternate attack chop harder 🤣

[marsh barn]

yep!

[tacit crystal]

Stumps are also removable with pickaxe. Before Mistlands patch 1 handed axes didn't have secondary attack.

[marsh barn]

hey dale i found the seed lol you want me to just post it here or dm

[undone remnant]

What does upgrading the hammer do? Cost less to build stuff or?

[tepid prawn]

I wouldn't mind having a look too, but most seeds are actually quite good and workable without much trouble, you shouldn't need to restart because of what you said

[marsh barn]

yeah no worries ill post it here: ZuQ5Rlqjtq

[tepid prawn]

more durability, hammer needs repairing less often

[marsh barn]

i havent looked at the full map, not sure if i want to yet

[tepid prawn]

I'll look and give you non spoilery general advice if you want

[marsh barn]

yeah that works for me

[vocal rivet]

Ooh, that's a lovely seed.

[sage turtle]

looking to join a server im new

[marsh barn]

lol derek i cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not

[tepid prawn]

#1024264966712340510 is a good place to look for that

[vocal rivet]

I can assure you that I'm not being sarcastic. I've just looked it up.

[tepid prawn]

he is not, its actually great for bosses

[marsh barn]

yeah we haven't had too much issue finding bosses, but you see the big mostly enclosed ocean i mentioned right?

[sage turtle]

seems inactive

[vocal rivet]

It's got many posts a day in it.

[undone remnant]

Its not.

[tacit crystal]

Derek doesn't really fool people.

[vocal rivet]

There's no enclosed Ocean. It's quite a long island, but also fairly thin.

[tepid prawn]

I see the ocean, for sailing from spawn island you could have a port west and one east of spawn for that, also there is one spot where I could see a canal being a good idea

[marsh barn]

yeah the ocean west of spawn is what i was referring to. maybe we haven't explored enough then

[undone remnant]

This game isn't like RUST etc. Where you can just join public servers. Takes abit of work to find people to play with.

[marsh barn]

the main part that we describe as enclosed is that northern bit of the sea west of spawn

[tepid prawn]

there is a spot there where you can go further west if you build a canal

[marsh barn]

but i could see a canal being built there

canal basically straight west of the actual spawn point right?

[vocal rivet]

I'm wondering now what your map looks like to be leading you that way.

[tepid prawn]

pretty much

very slightly south

[marsh barn]

hmm id post a screenshot if i could

[vocal rivet]

#screenshots

[marsh barn]

perfect

just posted it with all the toggles turned off

[undone remnant]

Our seed has a huge ocean in the middle

[marsh barn]

so all in all you guys dont think it's a bad seed?

[vocal rivet]

No, it's a fantastic seed.

[marsh barn]

well im sure my friends will be a bit skeptical but i appreciate the help from you all. i did post that screenshot too if yo uwanna see what lead us to the conclusions we came to

[tepid prawn]

don't change, its not bad at all, unless you WANT to do lots of sailing to bosses, because the bosses are in great locations here

[marsh barn]

ironically a lot of sailing is what we're trying to avoid

[tepid prawn]

yeah quite a few people feel like that

[undone remnant]

🚣‍♂️

[marsh barn]

so from my screenshot, you can see our current base location. what direction should we head for after beating the plains boss?

since that's our next one

[tepid prawn]

Keep the seed, if I tell you more it will go a bit spoilery

[marsh barn]

fair enough. again i appreciate it

i think one of my friends stole my cultivator, damn it all

[tepid prawn]

so you looking for the mistlands boss?

[marsh barn]

i suppose so yeah

we haven't gone searching yet, we've only just found the plains altar we plan on using

came across it by pure chance too, didnt even find the stone to mark the location

[tepid prawn]

you already been close to one of her locations, you set foot on it already haha

[marsh barn]

really? that's pretty interesting lol

[tepid prawn]

but just find some mistlands near your base and the vegvisir will give you closest location

not gonna spoiler exactly where, just explore and see what you find even if you could theorhetically walk there already haha, there is 2 of mist boss locations not too far from base, some of the others are hella far away

[wooden tapir]

dm me seed

oh nvm u posted it here

[marsh barn]

lol yeah

[wooden tapir]

its good, like if your complaint it getting out of the ocean pit, just destroy your boat and walk across the small slivers of land and rebuild it on other side of island

[marsh barn]

yeah thats a good point too

[wooden tapir]

depending on where u want to sail

but you can realistically walk anywhere you want on this seed

[tepid prawn]

also you can teleport a boat after taking the axe to it, and once you do some mistlands progression you have an even faster way to disassemble the boat

[terse raft]

1/3 egg on the altar..

[glossy dune]

Love big mistlands biome with like 4 - 5 infested mines, dvergr mines and tons of roots

[shy marlin]

Starting the no food permadeath run again 🙏 this is the run I believe

[exotic swan]

have you made it past the Meadows yet?

[shy marlin]

I've been to Fader, twice

[frozen fable]

that is nuts

[shy marlin]

yea

Ashlands is basically no hit, and you don't have food lol, it's pretty rough

[glossy dune]

No food challenge must be aids, no hp or stam

[shy marlin]

No passive hp regen either

[glossy dune]

Why do you that to yourself haha

[shy marlin]

All dmg is permanent until you use a hp mead, which means that meadows up to first few bits of bronze you only have 25 hp to work with lol

[shy marlin]

I hate myself 👍

[exotic swan]

and I thought Paak was crazy for his hard mode, perma death runs

[frozen fable]

has anyone ever completed no map, no portal

[shy marlin]

plenty

[exotic swan]

im sure people have

[tepid prawn]

madlad

I can not imagine Ashlands no hit - I hope you are younger than me and / or have faster reflexes hahaha.

[shy marlin]

Yea i'm a zoomer 😎 🤙

tbh tho not much of it is reaction time it's taking things slow and being cautious about how much noise you are making and being aware of your surroundings

obv yea there's just some times where you have to react fast but majority of the time you just have to be calculated and precise in everything you do

[tepid prawn]

I'm always slow and cautions in Ashlands, except for when I died and trying to race back to corpse for the first 4 times, if its the 5th time I will then take it slow too haha

[shy marlin]

[nimble moss]

Good luck dude

[nimble moss]

Yeah, “death loops” are the worse. Happens on some of my speed runs; all going well, die once, then die 7 more times in a short period trying to restabilise (or I go on tilt). Ha

[plush umbra]

hi, looking for someone geared up who can help me recover my stuff and re-setup a portal in the mistlands, area surrounded by seekers and a gjall... unfortunately this is were i've setup 3 sap extractors... 😦

[wary oak]

hey

new player here, is the world modifiers can be modified after making the server?

[chrome badge]

Yes they can 👍

If you have any more questions #valheim-help is best to use.

[trim nacelle]

Did you get any takers on the body recovery?

[pliant hatch]

These guys are always prepared to do that:

#1033392094817046630 message

[wary oak]

is it okay to learn about the valheim lore using chatgpt?

or is it inaccurate

[vocal rivet]

Everything in ChatGPT is going to be inaccurate. Just use the Wiki.

But you've just started, so why are you looking it up?

[pliant hatch]

The wiki and asking here is a lot more accurate as using ChatGTP.

[wary oak]

To find what the game story is about

[vocal rivet]

I'd definitely play the game to find out.

Although the opening cutscene tells you 90% of the main lore.

[robust token]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202323331148161115/1348303022945734706/morgen-gjall.gif

Oh yeah, no embeds here xD

[pliant hatch]

But in case you missed the opening cutscene:

You're a (former) Viking which is given a 2nd chance by Odin to redeem yourself and earn entrance to Valhala.
And to do that you need to kill the bosses which once has been thrown into Valheim by Odin in different biomes.

And to do that, you will have to build a base, craft weapons, armor and tools and gather the resources.

[wary oak]

ic, so basically an afterlife test

[pliant hatch]

If you want to please - and upset - people here, use an old Pink Floyed song line:

Good Morning, wurm your Honour

I notice someone hasn't listened to The Wall by Pink Floyd.
Damn, now I feel old. 😿

[hybrid orbit]

Yo

Whats with the bots on discord bro? they evolving

So recently i have lost my house and job bla bla bla look into my art bla bla bla

like bro WTF

[pliant hatch]

As long as you don't ignore them, they will pop up.
Report them to ModMail if they're bothering you here, put them on ignore / report them to Discord or let the Moderators deal with them.

[wary oak]

why there's a big monster chasing me already lmaoo

I just wanted to explore the forest 💔

[pliant hatch]

Lemme guess,.......

Big, blue and wearing something that looks like a grass skirt?
Most likely holding a log or throwing stones at you?

[hybrid orbit]

Smells to fresh meat

[wary oak]

greydwaff brute its called

[vocal rivet]

Oh, a Greydwarf Brute? Yeah, there's bigger in there.

[pliant hatch]

Oh, that's not big. Just larger.

But it also means you are out of the area you should be in until you've defeated the first boss.

Stay in the Meadows for now, get used to the game and once you're ready defeat the first boss.

And read the advice of the Big Raven!

[wary oak]

where should I build my base like generally?

[vocal rivet]

For now, the Meadows is fine. If you can find a coastline that'll be best.

For a first timer, find an old house near the coast if you can. Repair it and live in there for a while.

Later when you got the ability to sail, find yourself a small Meadows or Black Forest island and settle down over there. It'll keep you a bit more safe in the future.

[wary oak]

is there a way to connect the 2 wood gates so they open simutaneously?

[pliant hatch]

Nope

Everytime I lit the firecamp inside my house, it takes 5 seconds and a fire catch on, why is that?

[wary oak]

mhm but I think there must be another reason for that

[azure yacht]

there isn't

[wary oak]

turned out there's a reason

I had to keep 2m wood-distance around the campfire

[azure yacht]

Yes... because the modifier was on...

[tepid prawn]

That means you turned on "fire spread" or whatever its called in world modifier, which is not a standard setting its a bit more advanced

[buoyant panther]

It can also appear to happen if the fire is choking itself on its own smoke or a nearby fire is smoking it out

Will deep north work on existing saves

Of course

probably similar to ashlands, the unexplored parts will get updated und structures too close may get eaten by the ocean due to landmasses too close maybe beeing removed, who knows tho

[tacit crystal]

But the ocean gap between DN and other biomes appeared in Ashlands patch.

[worn bolt]

i didnt explore to that part yet so i didnt know that, but that does sound like useful info

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I'd say it would be relatively safe to build near the ocean gap, but the terrain inside the DN area will most likely change.

[worn bolt]

i personally wouldnt recommend going there before release anyway, at least for permanent worlds

i did see a fair share of streamers getting their first ashlands experience missing that warzone landing, due to having explored the ocean part and some land beforehand

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, refraining going any deeper in DN would be wise if one wants to continue in their world.

[worn bolt]

real quick tho, wasnt there a fish type close to DN tho?
