valheim-chat

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, that seemed brutal.

[marsh barn]

sounds good, thanks 🙂

[paper roost]

for some reason any silver tier weapon is good in mushland

btw hi guys

[merry pebble]

Well, considering the type of enemies that are there it makes sense i believe 😄

[paper roost]

i know, but what i like the most is the stamina cost

[merry pebble]

True 😄 that is pretty great

[tacit crystal]

Secondary attack with the sword is quite nice with the high amount of spirit damage. 👍

[marsh barn]

how tf do i run out of feathers lol i cant make any more arrows

i guess i could make wood ones and shoot birds all day

[shy marlin]

Kill yag and there will be an easy way to get lots of feathers

[marsh barn]

well i need feathers to make arrows to go to the mountains and shoot drakes while i mine silver to make a sword to fight yagluth lmao

[shy marlin]

Wood arrows do fine in the mountains

[marsh barn]

yeah fair enough the drakes dont do much damage

[eternal blade]

I tend to get decent amount of feathers from woodcutting. Poor birds' nests...

[merry pebble]

You should also have quite a nice amount of arrows from swamp chests, and if you explore black forest crypts you will find more feathers too

[marsh barn]

hmmmm true i forgot about that

[frigid gust]

I prefer flint arrows to wood arrows if I've got the feathers. They do a fair bit more damage when needed.

I use obsidian mostly to make frost arrows

[merry pebble]

Obsidian arrows on their own are also great when you dont have too many freeze glans

[tepid prawn]

yeah and the glands are also great for eatin

[shy marlin]

never really have any problems with freeze glands tbh

dang drakes always fightin ya

[tepid prawn]

you must either be spending a lot of time in the mountains or not feel the need to make 2000 frost arrows and 2 boxes of Eyescream 🙂

[paper roost]

quite a paradox, i dont eat ice cream in RL, but in valheim i love it 😄

[shy marlin]

I actually do pretty much both

but yea i spend lots of time in the mountains cause of fenris armor

[wide wagon]

How do I stop dying to these sneaky ass golems when mining silver

[pliant hatch]

Let them meet your trusty Iron Mace.

If that doesn't work, mine a pit elsewhere and lure them in there.

[wide wagon]

I cant do enough damage and then 2 shot me 😦

Cus im terrible. Also when Im mining im in the hole and trapped

[tepid prawn]

if you trap the 1 or 2 local golems right near your mining ops in a hole, you wont get more spawning in the area

[wide wagon]

Is it time consuming to dig holes? Also that feels super cheesy, surely theres a more "intended" way of surviving or killing these stupid things

[ember kraken]

General good tip, before starting mining anything etc. Smack a random stone or chop on a tree 1-2 times just to make sound. Wait a little and see what comes.

[wide wagon]

Thats helpful

[ember kraken]

That works in all biomes, as mining and chopping are 2 of the things that makes the most sound.

[tepid prawn]

Also, good mountain tier food, Silver Shield Level 3 and Iron Mace Level 4, and delete them fast with parry combos (need some time to learn when and when not to parry etc.) but once you get it down they die fast and you get crystal for building and maybe just maybe a super rare and stunningly beautiful trophy

[pliant hatch]

Can also lure them towards drakes, then make sure they won't see you but only eachother, sneak around them and go back to your mining area.

[ember kraken]

But yeah, I tend to just find a silver vein, look around quickly, and then just grab my pickaxe and dig straigth down 8 meters.

From there I can expand out, and I'm deep enough that golems and wolves can't reach me. And if a drake can reach me I can shoot it back (and hide under the silver)

If you're going to fight it, the most common is parry it (Iron shield or buckler. with HHS food should do it on normal), and smack into it with the alt attack from Iron Mace.

If you struggle with the parrying (the timing is weird on the golems, so I know many find it hard), dodge instead toward it, and try to hit it with the iron mace alt attack if you can, normal whacks if not. Slower.

[small niche]

whats peoples take on mods? do you like mods or the full vanilla experience?

[light moat]

I prefer vanilla. But if someone enjoys mods, who am I to tell them they’re having fun the wrong way?

[azure yacht]

is it important?

[kind iron]

Some make nice QoL changes. But generally learning how the game works in vanilla is good.

[small niche]

yeah i get it. i'm playing with some mods now and i feel that it's too easy to progress. i should try it vanilla.

[kind iron]

I mean for simple things like a planting grid and tools under water. Nothing that changes difficulty.

[shy marlin]

I like creating nice environments and atmospheres and it kinda requires plant everything so

[wet coral]

val guys?

[tepid prawn]

Full Vanilla, only started using mods this year after playing for 4 whole years without them. I only use ones that do not change a lot, like the one giving me the current time, I like knowing how long until nightspawns appear and disappear for instance, I'm not good at seeing that by looking how dark it is in different biomes or building sundials.

[small niche]

i have the teleport everything mod and i may switch it out for advanced portals. seems too easy to put down a portal, mine the ore, and dip out. idk.. but i dont know how i feel about having to sail back to my base every so often to transfer the ore. idk...

[azure yacht]

teleport everything

Why?

[pliant hatch]

I'm still playing Vanilla, but have been using some of the world modifiers in one of my games.
Perhaps I may use mods at some point, but from what I've seen from a streamer who's using them a lot, it might make the game too easy to my liking.

[small niche]

yeah it does seem too easy, but it's my own fault. i think i'm going to start a new world with minimal mods.

[pliant hatch]

And perhaps you aren't aware of it, but with the world modifiers you can set portals to teleport everything too now.
No need to use a mod for that (anymore).

[small niche]

i play on a dedicated server that i host on my NAS. just in case my friend wants to play and i dont want to leave my pc on. i dont think i have the ability to use the world modifiers.

[tepid prawn]

You have that ability for sure, its not limited to anything, I run world modifiers on a dedicated server as well.

[wet coral]

stagbreaker better than spear? what wep i use im going 2 fight elder now

[shy marlin]

Depends on the situation when stagbreaker > spear or spear > stagbreaker, for elder go with the spear tho

[pliant hatch]

Something doing slash damage when you are going melee - which basically means an axe - or a bow with fire arrows

[mortal oriole]

Has anyone else played on Vanir's Playground modded server?
I have heard all good things about, and they are about to start a new season, and want to get in on it.
Season 4 launch!
Vanir Playground Season 4 Launch - Get Ready! April 4th. 3pm.

[amber geode]

They're different things entirely. Spear is a hand-to-hand combat weapon. Stagbreaker and the other two-handed hammers are crowd control. In the fight against the Elder, neither will be very good. However, the stagbreaker will be good for making some space against greydwarves and trolls that show up. You can whack the ground and then duck out of being surrounded. Against the Elder, who's a tree, slash is best. Fire arrows are good too.

[wet coral]

ok is axe good i like 2 parry

maybe atgeir

[languid bronze]

is there a time frame on deep north?

[mortal oriole]

Also carry lots of stone and wood so you can light campfires under the Elder.
Fire Arrows work well.
If you are running Epic Loot or another Magic Weapon Enchanting mod, you can use fire wands or staves, Rune Magic mod gives summonable Neck NPCs. Lost of fire arrows, a couple bows, and campfires are your basics.

[vocal rivet]

No, it'll be out when it's done.

[wet coral]

whats a beehive fo

[wary oak]

for honey

[tepid prawn]

I recommend not overloading a new player with info about very specific mod related things, thats confusing and not needed imo

[mortal oriole]

Thought police.

[vocal rivet]

Not sure that means what you think it does. He is right though. Mods shouldn't be the first go-to for new players.

[marsh barn]

will i have to start playing on a new world once the next biome comes out or will it be available in mine that already exists

[vocal rivet]

New content will spawn in unexplored areas as usual.

[marsh barn]

this is my first time playing before new content comes out lol

ty 🙂

[weak mulch]

Does anyone speak Spanish to play? I'm looking to start a new game and would like to progress at a slower pace. I've played several walkthroug, but never finished them. I hope playing with others will help me progress much further!

[mortal oriole]

I understand you, but keep in mind this game is very old, and many gamers like myself have played many previous games with mods. Mods just come naturally now for any new game, we expect them.

[vocal rivet]

That makes no sense. No matter what your opinion on mods we should always be recommending new players play vanilla for their first playthroughs.

[rapid marsh]

How can I find a group to start a new world with. Everyone from level one like back in the day. That was so much fun. Until someone joined and destroyed our whole town.

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 should have someone though there's always a risk of griefers.

[mortal oriole]

Why be so limited? Why limit yourself or someone else? Why assume they know nothing about mods?

[rapid marsh]

Thanks

[vocal rivet]

I'm not doing any of those things. But how can someone know what mods they might want without playing the game as intended first?

[alpine crow]

I got a queen bee but i did not unlock the hive, what to do?

[wary oak]

thats weird

[alpine crow]

indeed, this is my first playthrough

[woven quiver]

The music is so lovely

[serene talon]

did you build a workbench yet?

[plush umbra]

i found a new way to enjoy very hard mode again

bubble javelin storm ripper and dunr

i can parry once but the stagger time is like 1 sec and theres no other weapon than this 3 can do instant burst dmage

[nocturne wolf]

Against what enemies?

[midnight summit]

Big burst mode activated.

[plush umbra]

chrred warriors and morgen

thats is if u want to parry

[nocturne wolf]

You can use a lot of weapons after parrying charred warriors and morgen, press attack as soon as you parry, you don’t need to wait for the animation to end.

[plush umbra]

i mean the secondary they cant do it its like 2 sec

secondaryattk

[nocturne wolf]

You can

[plush umbra]

how?

[nocturne wolf]

By attacking instantly when the enemy is parried

[plush umbra]

no it doesnt reach

the stagger time in very hard mode is like 1 sec

[nocturne wolf]

Difficulty doesn’t change stagger time?

[plush umbra]

it chnges

[nocturne wolf]

Those enemies have low stagger times on normal difficulty too

[plush umbra]

try it

stagger them using bubble and try do the secondary attcjk it doesnt reach well on chrred warriors reach but u get hit as well so the answr is auto spi9n from javelin or dundr or crossbows they dont need animation

pop bubble reload parry then hit its fuhn

javelin doesnt need reload but low dmage compare to dundr and storm ripper

its too good

[mystic halo]

Hey there people how are you? im from argentina but i can speak a little english, i want to find someone to have fun on valheim

[plush umbra]

no they staggerd like 2 sec u can do secondary attack on knife swords greatswords axes

[midnight summit]

Im seeing that since higher difficulty effects enemy hp, and enemy hp% is what their stagger/parry bar is based off of, then it’s technically harder to parry/stagger enemies solely based on their hp pool being bigger, but it shouldn’t effect the time they’re actually stunned/staggered for. Interesting.

[plush umbra]

it affects

[midnight summit]

Can we send videos here? I’d like to see it.

If that’s the case the wiki should reflect that.

[plush umbra]

true lol

[tacit crown]

true lol

[plush umbra]

i just discoverd this last night

[nocturne wolf]

#memes-and-clips

[tacit crown]

Awww 🙏

[tacit crystal]

You might have better chances to find someone to play from posting or searching here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

i run 2 etr food 1 stamina then any armor lol

bubble is broken 😂

[nocturne wolf]

What is the javelin?

[plush umbra]

himminafl

[mystic halo]

Thanks! have fun!

[midnight summit]

Pointless preference thought? I’m trying to figure out if I should basically just use all swords if my end goal is to mainly use the two handers from mist/ashlands. or if I should switch around from blunt/slash/pierce until I get to that tier. I’ve never tried bone mass without using a mace, but I wonder if the exp from just only using sword would be worth it. I usually die maybe 4ish times a biome, but I’ve never made it to planes so I wonder if I’ll just lose all my exp anyways 🤡

[plush umbra]

just go mistlands afteru get bronze nails kill moder then straight mistlands

[plush umbra]

very easy death modifier i use it

3x loot and very hard

get balckforger get arbalest or just find deathsquito and cheese moder

[midnight summit]

That sounds spooky. The only cheesy skippy stuff I’ve used is baiting wolves into meadows early lol. I play on vanilla settings and I don’t think I want to mess with anything as far as that goes.

Interesting idea though!

[plush umbra]

i hope north will drop this year

im about to die😂

[midnight summit]

How long did it take ash to drop from when it was teased?

I could just google it..

“Approximately one and a half years of development” so maybe 🤔

[rain flare]

Sword is amazing
And it will hold up VERY well on later biomes.
Some of the best weapons in the game are swords

Sure you may lose some skill to deaths, but you will be able to use them better with some focus on developing that weapon’s skill rate than trying a little of everything

Sure, some mobs may be a little resistant to a particular weapon type, but with some practice and patience, you can overcome anything 🔥

[fair cairn]

or like just play how ever you want and then complain about skill levels not leveling up fast enough

[midnight summit]

That’s kinda what I wanted to hear, wanting to do multiple playthroughs like no map challenge and axe only and stuff in the future anyways. So this kinda gives me an excuse to just focus on swords this time around.

[rain flare]

They will level up faster if you use the weapon more often 😂

[rain flare]

I focused just on using sword the whole game and have mine around lvl 80 something now

Hit like a truck with my KROM

[fair cairn]

i used knives till mountains then switched to swords cause a viking in heavy armor with a knive and shield looks kinda pathetic

[midnight summit]

I was calculating damage from skill vs vulnerability damage and they seem comparable enough to like… not really worry too much about it.

[rain flare]

My new playthrough is using knives and light armor

[midnight summit]

Definitely wanna do that at some point. Knives bow and such.

[rain flare]

Was very satisfying leveling that skill up

You slowly start to do more and more damage until you are one-shotting enemies that you’d struggle with previously

RIP the greydwarf brutes that died by my hand 😂

[fair cairn]

i used light armor all the way to the mountains, then didnt wanna go into mountain caves with wood armor and switched to silver heavy armor and now im just a normal viking with a max level iron sword and iron mace and shield

[midnight summit]

Is there no light armor variant in mountains?

[fair cairn]

there is

[rain flare]

There is

It’s very good, but damned annoying to craft

[fair cairn]

but you need to go into caves with either heavy armor or very flammeble light armor

[rain flare]

Just go into the explains early and make firewine 😂

[midnight summit]

Ahhh cause wood

[rain flare]

Also, the mt light armor requires a VERY rare mob trophy to craft it

[fair cairn]

you could use troll armor i guess but you wont have much protection against wolves and well much of anything

[rain flare]

I’m gonna do it in troll leather

[midnight summit]

Boar head or something right? I never made it to moder but I’ve heard about that drop desire sensoring the hell out of people

[rain flare]

RIP one little fishy 😂

[rain flare]

Nope - no spoilers here 😂

And drakes trophy is for the heavy armor set

[midnight summit]

Ahhh

[rain flare]

When you get there and the mob in question starts trying to cook you in your armor then you’ll know you’ve found the right one 🤭

[midnight summit]

I shall remain surprised. I’ve managed avoiding ashlands and mistlands spoilers so far - aside from learning that great axes are… Mia

I hate what you’re saying

Why fire in ice place. Make it make sense.

[rain flare]

I have a clip of it happening to a poor soul actually

[plush umbra]

lol itried to avoid it before but i like to watch building tricks on yt and these yotuubers wear ashlands armor and wepons

[fair cairn]

i have memory of it happening to me actually

[rain flare]

Mt tier battleaxe is viable the entire game 🥳

I slaughtered entire villages of fulings, and raided the Ashlands with that beauty

[midnight summit]

Forreal??

[fair cairn]

the whole using a crystal heavy axe is just kinda weird for me (coming froma skyrim player that likes the glass armor)

[rain flare]

For real 🔥

[midnight summit]

I see where you’re coming from

[midnight summit]

This… is amazing news for axe fans around the world, in which I’m sure I’m one of the only ones who didn’t know lol.

[rain flare]

The axe is pretty.
If I had my way, I’d be in wolf armor and wearing a linen cape the whole game 😂

Actually I’d also add in a serpent scale shield and the mistlands 1 handed sword

They just look SO GOOD as a set 🔥

[wise latch]

Any reason to think deep north will release this year?

[midnight summit]

Not specifically as far as I know.

[robust token]

Time to invest into a crystal battleaxe then

[midnight summit]

That’s what I’m saying. Right after I… I mean I just put a portal down in the swamp in my current world so. Ways to go

[robust token]

I really like the 2 hand axes animation but there are none after black metal

[midnight summit]

I assume the crystal battleaxe holds up because spirit damage. Either way it’s nice to have a viable endgame big axe.

[robust token]

But reading it's stats, it's actually pretty good

The last chain hit deals 2x the damage

And secondary attack deals a bit of knockback incase you get cornered

[nocturne wolf]

The secondary attack also deals more stagger

[midnight summit]

I love the great axe poke secondary.

[fair apex]

Really? The entire month's blogpost is literally just a frozen greydwarf? I wouldn't even call that a teaser, more like a single crumb. C'mon...

[midnight summit]

While I’d like to see more, it does make me wonder about a frozen debuff, shatter potential, and using frozen enemy statues as supports for structures/decoration.

[fair apex]

I want Frozen North to finally add a real reason to build and fortify a base. Actual walls, defenses (new things, not just spikes and ballista). None of the previous biomes gave you a real reason to build other than for funsies and areas to farm.

[midnight summit]

Like a revamp on the raiding system? Or do you mean other than enemies?

[fair apex]

Something like a Fimbulwinter where waves of enemies come at you. So yes a sort of revamp to the raid system unique to Deep North.

[midnight summit]

Oooh. Having a wave defense mechanic could be cool. I see what you mean.

[fair apex]

This is their last chance to make a biome that really focuses on building a base, both for protection from the elements and to withstand enemy attacks.

Time to put all that stone, wood and other materials you've been gathering the whole game to use. Ship it all to the North and build with it.

Give us new defenses, a tower with a runecrystal on the top that auto-repairs structures around it. The works.

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[midnight summit]

Morgen

[lyric bloom]

I also hope they add quests too or even juman npcs/villages 😭 love the game but it would definitely spice it up more

Human*

[heady parcel]

It's never going to be an rpg, so don't hope for that. There might pop up another trader somewhere though with a "quest", like with Hildir. I liked those, new and different places to assault, with some mini-bosses, it was a nice touch.

[grizzled copper]

Well i just went to the mistlands for a first time and i have to say that is a mordor 😭😭😭

[heady parcel]

It is a lovely place, but the locals are unfriendly

[midnight summit]

I think adding points of interest to add more life/spice would be cool. But I don’t really want the world to have “rpg style quests” as much as I would like to see more hildur style quests. But it would be sad for them to add like, an npc that needs 10 copper bars or something.

Seems unnecessary. I used to wish the world felt more “alive” but thematically with the setting, it makes sense that it feels desolate and mostly uninhabited.

[heady parcel]

Yeah, it is an afterlife realm to be fair. Something I would have liked is a way to actually interact with the dvergr other than opting to attack them. It seems a little odd to me that the only way to acquire a certain item is to either kill the dvergr for it, or to cheeze it with methods. I'd like to simply offer them gold, gems, iron or whatever for it.

[opal prairie]

Gjall, tick and seeker trophies perhaps.

[warm girder]

I wan't to try to invade ashlands before defeating the Queen, for the challenge. My objective is to place a portal there but my main concern is regarding the cinder rains, as I won't be able to build the Shield generator, do you know any other way to protect it ?

[tacit crystal]

Cover it with non-flammable material like stone building pieces.

[warm girder]

Does regular stone works ?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, I can confirm it works. I've done it once.

[warm girder]

Ok! thanks a lot 🙂

[tacit crystal]

And once you can craft ||stone portals|| you don't need to cover them anymore.

[midnight summit]

Large natural slopes - like one of the very steep slopes that the player would slide down if not sprinting - the ones you can find in the meadows separated by a thin stream. Fairly large. If you decided to build a base glued to the side of the slope, since enemies would still spawn on the slope (because unlike a 90 degree wall they would still be able to navigate it) how would you recommend defending your base around swamp level. Going out to meet the raiders would be difficult on your stamina because of the slope, but wouldn’t really affect enemies, correct?

[obtuse remnant]

I try to avoid the teaser posts so as to not spoil anything but... Was there any comment about a potential release date of the next update?

[silk sandal]

Nope, and release dates usually won't be communicated because it violates Steam's Early Access Rules.

[obtuse remnant]

That must not be enforced much because I see many early access games detailing release dates for major updates. Is this different because DN is effectively 1.0 release?

[silk sandal]

They pretty much don't really enforce them. It also says that you're pretty much disallowed to publish a roadmap. Still, many EA games do it.

Everything discussed falls under "Do not make specific promises about future events." https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/earlyaccess

[opal prairie]

No release dates have really been posted long in advance.

[robust token]

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

[azure yacht]

Those ea devs do it when they're absolutely sure the update in question WILL be released at that date, this is about making promises about an update IG is not sure when it will be out

They can't state a date for something early in development, as no one can predict the future and know for sure the date of release

Customers should be buying your game** based on its current state**, not on promises of a future that may or may not be realized.

This should be a pinned message in every ea game server

[silk sandal]

If Valve would enforce these rules, yes. 😄

But yeah, the customer side generally needs to get more info on what EA is and what they're buying and spending money on. That little disclaimer with a few FAQs (which don't even touch on the discussed topic) on the store page isn't enough. In any case, that's more #general now than anything else. 😄

[opal prairie]

EA Its all in the game!

[meager fossil]

EE, EEEEEE

[gusty aspen]

Hi. I'm trying to start a Valheim roleplay-centered server. Whoever's interested can PM me. Thx!!!111

[heady parcel]

Make a post in #1024264966712340510 instead, this is the chat channel

[gusty aspen]

Alright OG

[narrow oriole]

I have a question I have seen some people say that the deep north might not release this years is this just a speculation or has this somehow been confirmed

[ember kraken]

tldr: nobody knows. Smiffe said it was not going to release anytime soon.

[azure yacht]

I do wonder if people truly believe that this discord's members will ever have exclusive, VIP info that wouldn't be found literally anywhere else

[mossy zenith]

is there a way to move the chest UI a bit down ? have a mod that gives more space and its covering my inventory

[snow flame]

i went from 20 hrs to 280 hrs in this game. Valheim is the goat

[cosmic rune]

Is there any information about when Deep North will be released?

[snow flame]

lol next winter is wild

[azure yacht]

and more importantly: Wrong

[snow flame]

fr

[opal prairie]

It might be right, it might not be, no one knows.

[azure yacht]

Until stated otherwise, assume that yes, it is wrong

[opal prairie]

Where do you get that information?
The game is supposed to be released when it is done not sooner or later.
When that will be no one knows.

[opal prairie]

That is the best way to look at it but it might be right ;p

[north rover]

Do you know when the new biome is coming out???

[azure yacht]

Yes, the info is right here #news

[opal prairie]

The facepalm from rianu is fitting.
It lines up but doesn't mean squat and AI only works with what we feed it at the moment.
So as long as there is no word from the developer don't go spreading that info, it might come true but no one knows for sure.

[opal prairie]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s88r_q7oufE

You can keep to your prediction all you want, just don't go spreading that, else people will start believing that and if it comes sooner or later people will complain.

[vivid turret]

Lmao i got a surtling geyser spawn right in the water.

Afk surtling farm.

Geysers have always seemed a little strange to me lol that’s pretty nice though!

So true

[snow flame]

i just got 3 surtling geysers next to each other 😎 #screenshots

Ooh, you might want to put that in #1202740443352137838

[snow flame]

let me check my seed

[snow flame]

bruh i cant post images there?

[quasi latch]

what the heck

[snow flame]

oh nvm i didnt see that the image i uploaded is at the top right corner

[near furnace]

AI can never predict when we will release the big Deep north update. That was just confirmed by that statement 😅

[thorny sonnet]

he is saying that because its the truth and they dont want people to know it

AI knows everything

[glacial idol]

could someone please answer quick. Should i make an iron axe or a bow with my last irons? I have the finewood bow lvl 2 right now and the bronze axe lvl1

[tacit crystal]

You will do fine with bronze axe for woodcutting unless you plan to use it as your weapon.

[glacial idol]

so i could manage with a bronze axe until black metal?

[tacit crystal]

Correct, only after plains you need stronger axe which would be black metal.

[glacial idol]

thank you

[meager fossil]

I love building, so I always make the iron axe too 😄

But yeah its not necessary. Just more comfortable

[ember kraken]

Bronze Axe and Finewood Bow works just fine for a while. I wouldn't bother with spending iron for upgrading those myself. But I know some really like the iron bow. Personally I just wait for the mountain one.

[meager fossil]

I dont upgrade bow until Draugr. I dont really use bow in the swamp. But for tools and such, I generally go iron. I dont have the need to play efficient at all time

But nothing wrong with thsose who plays efficiently

[nocturne wolf]

I usually get the huntsman bow and skip draugr fang

[meager fossil]

You use melee for Moder?

[nocturne wolf]

When she's on land, yes

[meager fossil]

What weapon?

[nocturne wolf]

And when she isn't, I'm still using mountains-tier arrows

[ember kraken]

Haha I'm just lazy, so I tend to minimize what I need. Bronze axe will last me until plains, and even then it tends to be one of the last things I upgrade there.

I tend to rush for finewood bow, and just keep it until I get the mountain one. Not like silver is hard to get or used for much else.

[meager fossil]

I tend to use draugr bow with poison arrows for moder. Still takes a long time though

Fire arrows*

[nocturne wolf]

Obsidian arrows are better, even with the fire weakness

[meager fossil]

Ill keep that in mind

I hate fighting Moder lol. The terrain and constant wolf attack makes me insane

Not even the wolves, but the drakes...

[nocturne wolf]

I make the huntsman bow because my bow skill is usually very low, so I need as much base damage as possible to kill drakes quickly enough, and I then keep it because the lower sound radius is incredibly useful in plains for fuling camps.

[ember kraken]

It's a bit of a wash, but poison arrows do more damge per say, but you can't stack poison, so it's best if you swap to that inbetween other arrows.

Fire does stack so it's not as bad as it seems like on numbers.

But generally pure obsidian does more damage in general.

If you want to be optimal, then a bunch fo arrow swapping.... which I'm too lazy for, so I'll just do obsidian or whatever I got.

[nocturne wolf]

Fire does stack but that doesn't generate any extra damage, the total damage per arrow is always the same.

[meager fossil]

Whats considered "very low" level for bow?

Im sitting at lvl 20 bow right after Mass

[nocturne wolf]

I would only prefer to use a bow for serpents before I reach mountains, I use melee wherever possible

[meager fossil]

Fair. I did some fire arrow usage for Trolls at the beginning, but otherwise I hunt quite a lot with bows

[ember kraken]

I don't really have a perspective on what's high or low any longer. It really just depends on how much you've played your character.

[meager fossil]

I guess what I wondered was, is level 20 bow worth using Draugr for Moder over Huntsman? I dont remember the flat pierce on both

[ember kraken]

I'd go with draugr for the higher damage myself, but eh, it's a long slog of a fight no matter what, so I don't think it matters all that much

[nocturne wolf]

Draugr fang has 5 more base pierce

Obsidian arrows have 10 more pierce than ironhead arrows, so upgrading arrows is more important

[meager fossil]

Its a slog of a fight because of the 200 Drakes that spawns over the duration of the fight. I hate add focused boss fights

[ember kraken]

And I don't remember for Draugr since it has split damage types. But generally a maxed weapon from the previous biome is the same damage as a level 1 weapon in new biome. Same with armour. (different durabilities though)

[nocturne wolf]

Maxed weapons have less base damage than level 1 at the next biome tier

[ember kraken]

Hmm, pretty sure a level 4 bronze axe is just better durability than level 1 iron axe.

[nocturne wolf]

Level 1 iron axe has more chop and slash damage

[ember kraken]

Hmm slight difference, 1 chop damage and 5 slash damage. But a good chunk more dura.

Ok sword and mace has 2 more damage on level 1 iron. I stand corrected, but it's still small enough to really not matter much :)

[midnight summit]

Me just beating the elder, building a base on the side of a very tall mountain, still technically in the black forest. I hear shrieking up above me, far far away a small winged creature is popping in and out of my Render distance.

Sitting here in bronze armor building, sounds like a whole lot of none of my business up there

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, you're in the Mountains, a whole biome ahead.

[meager fossil]

Yeah thats a Drake. Look forward to deal with those ALL, THE, TIME!

[midnight summit]

I seem to be.... Fine? Made some fire arrows just to be safe. But it's been a few days. I'll name him, feed him and then visit him once I'm equipped. It's just funny hearing the shrieking, looking up and being like... "I'm minding my own business, everything is fine" lol

[meager fossil]

Its ulcer inducing

[midnight summit]

Yeah, Mountains is the farthest I've gotten, but that was before the cave update. I remember very much loathing them lol.

Maybe if he recognizes we can be chill he'll just be a homie and drop a trophy

[meager fossil]

I love the looks of the mountain. But the Moder fight was hands down my least enjoyable experience. Last time I played, I managed to reach Mistlands though. Didnt get to the boss before I burnt out

[midnight summit]

I really want to find a mountain cliff bordering a meadow. I want to make mountains my main base after I tackle plains, but no growing veggies makes me sad

We'll see if I can keep the fire going lol

[meager fossil]

I normally make my "primary" base in the plains. I find it easier to find flat lands, and form the terrain to my liking. Meadows is the most beautiful, but man, too many hills

[midnight summit]

Yeah, I feel like a large chunk of time can easily be spent terraforming if you're not careful.

[meager fossil]

@languid echo How dare you clown emote me. Dont you know that kind of thing hurts my feelings?!

[vocal rivet]

Does seem a weird thing to do having not even been involved in the conversation.

[near furnace]

🤷

today seems to be a wierd day

[vocal rivet]

Yup.

[near furnace]

trolls and other wierd things..

[meager fossil]

I mean, Im a clown quite often

Also hello Smiffe, nice seeing you here still. You doing well?

[near furnace]

I'm still alive this friday night

[meager fossil]

I am happy you are alive this friday night

Valheim actually helped me push myself into viking culture, and Im now a full fledged reecnactor and viking warrior!

Im part of a group and all

[heady parcel]

Is it just me or does Cooking grow strangely slowly compared to the other new skills?

Not that it matters much, but it is lagging behind both farming (by A LOT) and crafting, despite me not really crafting much except arrows at this point. I've been cooking a crapload though.

[merry pebble]

For me crafting grew the slowest 🤔 never had problem with the cooking

[delicate monolith]

hi im new, someone wanna play valheim with me

bought it yesterday

[merry pebble]

Be sure to look at #1024264966712340510 😄

But you can also play solo, it is mainly meant to be played that way anyway

[heady parcel]

Honestly the best way to learn the basics of the game, easy to miss stuff if playing with others who have already progressed a bit or just know everything already

[half ice]

whern test of deep north?

[heady parcel]

No info yet. When it is ready...

[half ice]

ty

[snow flame]

deep north galactic

[meager fossil]

WE'RE RICH!

[pliant hatch]

It feels that way because you spend a lot less time cooking as you're doing other things.
Reason for that, most players usually create a stack of 10 food, times 3 for the three foods, and that's it.
Since one food lasts 20 minute minimum, you can do a lot of wood cutting, mining, fighting or even crafting in that time.

So timewise, cooking is used less and thus levels up slower as well.

Also: crafting doesn't just apply at the time you spend at a crafting station like the workbench or a forge; it's also applies to all the building you do. And since most players build a lot, crafting is one of the "sub-skills" that seems to go up quite fast.

[cloud ivy]

I’m sure this has probably been talked about before but do any of you think Valheim will ever come to PlayStation?

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt give it many hopes personally and almost surely not until it leaves early access

[pliant hatch]

Certainly not as long as it's in EA due to some policies of Sony.

After the 1.0 release......

We don't know.

[cloud ivy]

I really hope it does. My PC has started giving issues and I don’t have an Xbox 😭

[heady parcel]

Thing is most of my building was done before the Bog Witch update, or I would probably have maxed it out. I really haven't built much since I came back. I have, however done a lot of farming and cooking - and the farming has soared ahead almost twice as far as the cooking skill, although I have objectively cooked more than I have farmed. I do more cooking than I strictly need to - I used to cook for a small group of friends and I've stuck to the patterns even solo, so I keep at least one chest full of health foods and one with stamina foods, once they slip below 2/3 I restock. Plus I've decorated my outposts with these delicious looking feasts... Er, make that two chests of health foods, counting the "base loitering" chest with cooked seeker meat and other cheap stuff.

[heady parcel]

Granted, I've been crafting wagonloads of needle and frost arrows, feels like I burn through stacks every outing..

[wet coral]

what armor should i get for swamp? rn i got upgraded troll armor

[merry pebble]

That is more than enough 🙂

make lvl3 if possible

[nocturne wolf]

Troll is good, bronze slows you down for a very small defense increase (not worth it)

[wet coral]

idk im still dying to the blobs, the poison drainsmy hp

[merry pebble]

Have you made poison resist mead? 😄

[wet coral]

no

[heady parcel]

There are two new with swamp materials, and it all depends on how you like to play. Iron armour gives you a little more tanking capacity - but slows you down. The root helmet gives poison resist which is very handy in the swamp, and the chest has a special place in the heart of most valheim players...

[merry pebble]

Then that should be the next thing 🙂

[wet coral]

ok thanks

[merry pebble]

Make a lot, it will come in handy 😄

[heady parcel]

A sneaky gjall, that was a first. None of the honking, suddenly I was bombed senseless out of nowhere. Bastich!

[dusk bloom]

sorry new player im a bit confused. i tamed two lox's in the plains..but they killed two fuelings no they not kill other lox's? cus i had a couple of lox's chasing me and my tamed ones just stood there.

[heady parcel]

Tamed creatures will not fight their own

Wild lox will not attack your tamed ones either, so it swings both ways

[dusk bloom]

ohh okay cool

[wet coral]

will my world just run out of blueberries

and thistle

[nocturne wolf]

They respawn in the same place, mark them on the map when you pick them

If the bushes get broken blueberries won't respawn, but thistles cannot be destroyed

[wet coral]

oh ok thanks

[raven heron]

how am i meant to kill queen if my sword doesnt even survive half the fight? lmao

[wooden tapir]

bring a spare (:

[plush umbra]

DMs open for fun

[vernal aspen]

I hate to ask this but is there like a FAQ or a time table of certain updates of valheim like how some games say “q1 X update, Q3 Y update”

[ember kraken]

Bring a spare, bring multiple weapons, or run out of the fight and repair.

[ember kraken]

Nope. The official timeline for everything is "when it's done".

[vernal aspen]

Hey thank you man that all I need to know LOL

[nocturne wolf]

Or when it's ready!

[merry pebble]

What sword do you have? 🙂

[raven heron]

mistwalker level 3

[merry pebble]

That should be quite enough 🤔 are you perhaps playing on harder difficulty?

[raven heron]

im just having to run away a lot so she heals a big % of her hp back

server should be back to normal, but its not impossible that its still on hard

[ember kraken]

You can setup repair stations right outside the entrance, so you don't need long breaks.

[merry pebble]

Just portaling home and back for repairs should not take more than minute really 🙂

[hot herald]

howdie

[merry pebble]

That could be it, the first time i fought her i also had mistwalker and was able to kill her in one durability even when dying like 3-4 times, but hard difficulty could make it quite a bit longer fight

[ember kraken]

Can also be other things:

• how much durability you spend on fighting the adds
• sword skill level

My first time fighting queen, I used frostner on both the boss and the adds, so it wore out and I had to repair it.

Later on I brought Demolisher for the adds, and didn't use the main weapon (forgot what it was atm) and didn't need to repair.

[raven heron]

is queen literally meant to be a 1 hour boss fight

i dont have the materials to craft enoguh ooze and bile bombs to deal with the ads either

[hot herald]

I had a lot of luck against her using the fire ball staff

she's' very weak to fire it seems

If you'd like help Id be more then happy to join ❤️ I just beat her and finally found the next biome. So not too far ahead

[merry pebble]

Nope, she is neutral to fire 🙂 magic is just really easy to use, some would say even OP

[raven heron]

i died AGAIN

at least i got her down to half hp i guess.... if thats anything to be happy about

[hot herald]

I didnt know that ❤️ I've been having a blast with magic, kinda in my own lil tunnel

[wooden tapir]

0 death playthrough take 2!

[wet coral]

do carrot seeds regrow in the same spot?

[ember kraken]

They don't regrow in the wild.

Use the hoe to plan a carrot back into the ground to get more seeds.

[merry field]

Cultivator*

[pliant hatch]

They do regrow in the wild.

They don't regrow at your own farm plot, however.

[ember kraken]

Huh, interesting, I've never seen that. When found first seed, and kept walking past same spot regularly, haven't seen it grow back.

[pliant hatch]

Seed carrots and seed turnips regrow in the wilds. Just like thistle, Berries (both) and the Mushrooms.

The only things that don't regrow are the Flax and Barley in the Plains and cut down trees / bushes / Yggdrasil shoots.

[merry pebble]

berries (all)*
||sorry feel a bit nitpicky today :D||

[merry pebble]

Doesent seem like they do 🤔 i have now been waiting for number of minutes with timescale all the way up and using timeskip, i have found carrot seeds in wild and blueberries right next to it and the blueberry bush has grew new berries like 6 or 7 times and still no carrot regrowing

[raven heron]

shes dead... legit took 1 full hour, 2 sword repairs and 3 deaths

[pliant hatch]

If that's true, then it's a bug.

I've always had carrot and turnip seed plants regrowing.

[merry pebble]

It was naturally generated, but i will try fresh world just in case

[near furnace]

?

don't think I ever seen seeds regrowing in the wild 🤔

[merry pebble]

Yeah, same, but i will give it a try in fresh world just in case i simply missed it 🙂

[near furnace]

I can probably with some confidence say. it's a one time spawn

[merry pebble]

Might be bug on your end then Thorin 🤔

[near furnace]

I blame Thorin

[pliant hatch]

Well, it's certainly bugging me now

[near furnace]

just stand next to where they are, pick them. skiptime 90000

if they don't respawn. they won't

[pliant hatch]

Guess I need to send a char into the BF, look for seeds, pick them up, mark it and see if they are respawning or not.

[merry pebble]

Doing right now 🙂 with timescale active just in case

[shy marlin]

Seeds are one time

[robust token]

Only berries from berry bush regrow, right?

[light moat]

Correct, berries will respawn on berry bushes. It’s a good idea to mark bushes on your map so you can find/collect them easier

[robust token]

Yeah.. I did that.. just I also marked mushroom and thristles

💀

Mushrooms are a pain to find, is there a mod to make them glow?

[wary oak]

naah, just mark them

[shy marlin]

lower settings

vegetation quality

[robust token]

I did

[shy marlin]

idk they're very clear on low vegeation idk what to say then

[merry pebble]

Don't look for them at night, that makes it quite a bit harder 😄

[shy marlin]

Best part of the no food run is converting all meats into coal save so much wood

[wary oak]

The moment I decided to transfer my copper suddenly there's a million shaman trying to fight me

[wooden tapir]

i only ever get raided when im trying to build

[jade current]

Yo how do I get the frost resist mead

I have 2 upgrades on the cauldron and all ingredients but I ain’t got the recipe

[ember kraken]

Did you try the other pot you can put over fire to make meads in? (Don't remember name)

[wooden tapir]

you need a mead ketil now

[marsh barn]

urgent question, how do i stop a caged lox from rampaging and breaking containment

[ember kraken]

Generally you don't. If it's first enraged there's very little you can do other than get out of the way until it calms down again.

[marsh barn]

it has escaped lol

[ember kraken]

Yeah, that tends to happen.

[marsh barn]

im gonna kill it i guess and then just rebuild the cage, make it stronger for when i bring a new one

[ember kraken]

I think the most common way to tame lox, is to just tame them where they are. And then craft the saddle to ride them home.

[marsh barn]

might be my best bet

[ember kraken]

They're generally a pain to keep contained. (Unless you want to abuse earthwalls)

[marsh barn]

will they eat the food and become tame even if im not too closeby?

[ember kraken]

Nope you need to be near enough, but not close enough that they sense you.

People often just use cloudberries they find dropping them nearby lox ner their bases in plains when going in and out.

[marsh barn]

ah okay. maybe i will build a stone cage nearby my base, my friend built it inside our walled encampment

[ember kraken]

They'll destroy stone as well, just takes a little bit longer. The point is that you don't want them to see/sense you so they get angry, or they'll just go wreck anything they can find.

[marsh barn]

yeah thats what he destroyed lol

gonna build a multi-layered stone enclosure

[indigo pagoda]

Omg Silver vein 😫😵

So big 😏😏

[mortal raven]

will there ever be dried up gjallings and happy gjalls????

[rain flare]

Bring me their heads!!!

I need them for decoration… 🤭

[wary oak]

does their head glow or sum

[rain flare]

The eyes have a lovely green glow

[mortal raven]

I have shaman trophies :> I don't need em

[wary oak]

ive killed like 11 but no trophies so far :/

[kind iron]

Almost got killed by a broom O_O that was an experience

[mortal raven]

how does one achieve this

is the broom agro?!

[wary oak]

playing the black forest during night is so frustrating holy

can't stay 1 second without a troll or 500 monster spawn out of nowhere

[dusk bloom]

yall im new and confused. my black forge says it can level my mist sword but..it requires level 3 black forge lol...i dont have anything past forge cooler? what am i missing

[kind iron]

Sometimes it will show planned upgrade levels but they won't be available yet. I am not sure about that specific weapon though.

[robust token]

I need to kill Modor twice for her head :P

[kind iron]

terrible power, don't even bother mounting it

[robust token]

Her head is pretty big, and after watching the animated trailer, Hearth and Home, I think it would be a great deco

[robust token]

Useful in their ways, imo using it with friends while exploring is good. You can have others bringing Bonemass or Eithytr

[sharp bluff]

best power in the game when not fighting xd

[lost falcon]

Anyone want to play?

[wooden tapir]

moder is probably the 2nd most used power in the game

[dusk bloom]

i was seeing on reddit that the black forge is supposed to get an update to be able to upgrade to level 3...but that was TWO years ago lol...

so figured id ask otherwise my weapons arent gonna be able to be leveled. edit to add --- looks like im just missing a mechanical spring and it can upgrade!

[rain flare]

Shame on you - Leave Kevastar alone!

[robust token]

Level 2 is all you need :)
Jk
The more level the more POWAAA

[rose temple]

what's the deal with moonin

and why did Hugin become so aggressive

[kind iron]

I didn't expect it to attack since it was a friendly tbh.

[rain flare]

Pretty sure we had similar reactions from people who accidentally/intentionally provoked a Dverger 🤭

[nocturne wolf]

Kvastur and Dvergr will anger each other if they're nearby and you damage one

[midnight summit]

Didn’t have any raids after ~ 3 sessions of playing on a new world, kinda forgot they existed. Got lax and started working on a build for fun after beating the elder, walking around without a care in the world.

A foul smell from the swamp

[rain flare]

LoL

[glacial idol]

[median stream]

I am going to say that stonecutting and shingles being pushed to post-elder and post-moder is really infuriating for somebody who plays the game (in large) to build

I’m not sure if this sentiment is shared amongst other people

[pliant hatch]

How so?

No-body says that you need to build your entire base in one go.
It's not that much of a problem to replace building pieces once you got new material.

And it's a lot easier to start only building large once you have stone in the first place.

[median stream]

Stonepieces are (usually) used as a foundation, or I would assume so since it seems to be the case for many builds I see, and replacing foundation can be tricky and annoying. Furthermore, while I agree it’s not “impossible” per se to replace preexisting structures, it feels like unneeded work

[rain flare]

True, but realistically humans were building with wood before we used stone - so progression wise it makes sense

[median stream]

Also, I think your point is a lot more solid if we were talking about something like black marble, or gausten, because both of those are “niche” or at the very least reasonable “variants” of stone, which is used everyyywhere in building.

[pliant hatch]

It's just a matter of planning.

When you know you want to use stone as foundation, you dont build the entire building, but only one that's large enough to hold a bed and a campfire. Workbench and forge can be put elsewhere under a roof.

Then after you get stone you can start building your main building, using stone as a foundation and build your way up from there.

[median stream]

It just feels kind of awful thinking to yourself “Hmm. I can’t wait to build this” and then have to not use such a vital piece of building

[rain flare]

The game has a progression system - if you don't like it then you can turn it off and just build in hammer mode

[median stream]

I agree that this works, in a vacuum, because it doesn’t consider new players. When a friend and I started playing the game we didn’t use the wiki at all, and so we had no idea when, no if we could even build with stone at all. And we didn’t know if we had to delay our creativity until multiple dozens of hours into gameplay because stone was unlocked later.

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose you feel the same about Iron weapons and magic?

[median stream]

The reason I mention this is because the aforementioned friend and I are going to be playing with 2-3 new friends. Since we have so many new people, we won’t be able to progress to the elder and get iron fast because we don’t want to rush our other friends and actually let them enjoy the game. It makes it so that we have to build with nothing but wood, finewood, and corewood for possibly hours of gameplay. It just doesn’t make much sense to me that building with stone is placed so far in progression. With shingles, I can understand that they’re at least a bit more of a luxury.

[median stream]

Well, no, since those need to be balanced. Building with stone doesn’t really, and saying “building durability” is not a compelling argument since you can make indestructible walls for cheaper with a hoe

[median stream]

why am I not allowed to enjoy the game’s survival aspects while simultaneously enjoying it’s sandbox elements as well? Both can exist, and should, without restricting the other so much that it feels exclusively like the other.

[pliant hatch]

Because it's part of the progression, as it was already mentioned

[rain flare]

Understandable.
However, now that you know how the game works, you can brute force the mechanics of the game and work around it with skill
The game does have an open platform allowing you to brave more dangerous biomes without fully gearing up

I'm currently doing that in my new playthrough cause I also want iron

[median stream]

I understand that it might be like “immersion” to an extent, but I don’t see any reasonable argument against why stonecutters can’t be crafted in at least the black forest. Considering you see more stone structures there than you do in the swamp in any case.

[rain flare]

I might even try and sneak into the mistlands in my troll armor - but I suspect I am going to die horribly 😆

[median stream]

I’ve done that with tar pits so many times. So many deaths lol

anything for those stupid shingle rooves

[swift girder]

what should I do if he doesn't connect a friend to the server?

[rain flare]

Same!
I snuck into the plains last week with the same results 🙈

But I did get the tar 🥳
Worth every death

[median stream]

Ppfftt I was considering playing more passively as a “farmer” with my friends until I realized the scythe needs silver. I’m going to be smashing my head against the mountain side with a stagbreaker trying to steal 4 silver ingots before I get beat up by a gang of wolves

actually 6* silver bruh

can you still do the glitch to enter crypts with a finewood chair?

[tiny tiger]

yes

[midnight summit]

Late, but I get where you’re coming from @median stream, I was literally in the middle of my build when I realized I need the stonecutter to put my kiln and smelter set up how I want it. It would be nice to have the stonecutter earlier, but I also understand the other side. As someone who’s never made it to the planes, I’ve never experienced real roofs. But that also provides a lot of motivation for me to get there. So in my case it’s a motivator, even if there’s a slight frustration.

[rain flare]

Me panicing cause I cant find my boat in the swamp...

Curse my abismal cartography skills! 😆

[midnight summit]

My brain prioritizes remembering to pin the 80th copper vein over the new teleporter I placed. Every. Time.

[wary oak]

anyone down to help with a burial chamber?

I have 3 archers camping behind a door in hard difficulty lmao

[midnight summit]

If I was home I would be there, sorry. Don’t have the deer trophies to whip up a quick stag breaker?

[autumn flax]

I understand the logic of brittle skeletons being vulnerable to blunt damage. But why are squishy slimes and Bonemass vulnerable? If anything, the slice of a sword should be best

[wary oak]

you didn't lie

[autumn flax]

I'm trying to come up with explanations/solutions for blunt damage until the thought is refined enough for a specific post in #suggestions in order to farm a little confidence, be forgotten and never mentioned again by anyone

[autumn flax]

Everyone is essentially forced to go for a mace, I would like some more variety

[median stream]

cutting jello in real life is a pain. On the other hand jello tends to fucking explode at the slightest blunt force

have you ever dropped jello from the counter?

[autumn flax]

Let me google what that is, I mostly eat solid food

[median stream]

its the most slime substance I can think of

[autumn flax]

Can you light jello on fire?

[median stream]

Idk I’ve never tried

[autumn flax]

Or freeze it and THEN shatter it

[median stream]

In general back and forth motions cannot cut elastic materials well. It’s why castsaws do not cut the skin. Swords don’t work against them for that reason

but you can always hit something hard enough to cause it to explode :D

[rain flare]

lvl 48 run skill after spending the last 30 minutes emptying crypts of their iron...

And I'm only half done

[obtuse remnant]

You're never done with iron

[midnight summit]

One of the things in this game i personally love is backtracking through biomes I’ve beat the boss of, obtained the next tier of gear/food and seeing the enemies that used to give me trouble get obliterated. Like walking around the Black Forest in upgraded swamp tier stuff and hanging with greydwarves/parrying trolls. Is that a trend for all biomes, say, mistlands gear in the planes for example? Or is the gap between gear less noticeable as you advance.

[kind iron]

You can parry trolls with black forest gear tho

[midnight summit]

Sorry, I should have clarified, parrying a troll with an upgraded battleaxe, killing him in like 4 hits and yelling “Timbuuur” like a lumberjack cutting down a strange blue tree.

[normal vine]

do you guys know if there's a flower-like crown in the game that you can get?

[rain flare]

Only available in summer

[normal vine]

i've seen some youtubers have them on their character

[normal vine]

interesting

[rain flare]

Same as the Yule tree

Squse me, same as the yule pole - also only craftable in summer

[midnight summit]

June to October it’s craftable

[normal vine]

not le bad

[midnight summit]

Make a bunch, keep them on a character and then then you have backups!

Are they tradable? I’d assume I’m not the only person who thought of this. If I had ever caught the window to make one I’d let you have one. You might be able to find someone who can give you one if it’s super important (which fashion is)

[vocal rivet]

If you're going to do that, just spawn them in.

[midnight summit]

Oh duh 🤡

[tacit sequoia]

is there any news to when the next updates comes out (just like a general time like summer or winter this yr or next yr)

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

Only the devs might know and they won't tell.

[tacit crystal]

So far we have gotten updates in form of monthly blog posts during the end of month period. They will announce in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 once they have more info about the update to share.

[heady parcel]

There's still a gap, roaming around the plains (in Mistlands gear) is rarely threatening- but there are enemies that hit pretty hard, so you'll need stay alert or you'll easily get yourself in trouble. Letting the rested buff drop off is never a good idea, the best gear won't help you much if surrounded by enemies while out of stamina

[craggy valley]

Hi. Kinda new to the game. I just unlocked the cauldron and have a question. Why would i ever make boar jerky? cooking the meet and eating the honey is almost double the stat gain instead of cooking

[nocturne wolf]

The ingredients have more stat gain but across two food slots. Jerky has a long duration and the equal amount of health and stamina allows more options for your health-stamina ratio

[craggy valley]

i just crafted my first bronze nails that shuold give me 20 each but i got 81??? what

this just annoying. is there something that takes exactly 1 nail?

[foggy ocean]

reminds me of losing carts while getting wood

ive searched like 30 minutes + in some cases trying to find my cart bro, pisses me off

[robust mantle]

what love potion do and why

[nocturne wolf]

It increases troll spawn rate, minimum stars, and chance for a second star. It also makes trolls aggro instantly when close enough.
Trolls cannot spawn with stars if they are too close to the world centre, unless spawned in a troll raid.

Why? I think it’s either a joke item, or testing for mechanics that may be reused in deep north.

[dim adder]

item stands 🙂

[pearl thorn]

hello, i have a little question

How can i tame a wolf ?

[rain flare]

What I did is build a small cabin on stilts over a pit in the mountains

I would lure the wolves into the pit then sit in my cabin and throw food in for them

That way I am nearby so they can tame and also allows me to stay away from the wolves so they don’t aggro

[dim adder]

yeah carve out a pit in the side of a mountain and lure them into it is the standard method

a fire and some shelter is nice too since you will be there a while

[pearl thorn]

oh okayy i'm gonna do this right now thank uuuuu

[dim adder]

i also recommend breeding them there and keeping 2 in that pit for safe keeping, in case something happens to the other ones you take out

[raven heron]

wait.. every single one of fader's attacks are pierce??

[rare path]

how tf do parry bonuses and block strenght work why did my shield become useless after changing from fenris set to padded

[nocturne wolf]

Your armor has minimal effect on blocking, only affecting the damage taken after blocking. Do you have less health now?

[crystal gust]

When will the new region arrive?

[nocturne wolf]

Parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying. Block armor reduces damage the same way normal armor does, applied before damage modifiers and armor.

[nocturne wolf]

It arrives when it’s ready. Probably not until next year.

[shy marlin]

Well all of the melee ones yea

[raven heron]

so root harnesk and fire resist pot

[shy marlin]

yep

as long as you don't get hit by any of the ranged attacks, fader can literally not outpace your passive hp regen if you have the root harnesk and some flametal armor lol

but we'll still see people that deny how good the root harnesk is 🙃

[raven heron]

i mean damage goes from 200 to 100 so thats pretty damn good

[nocturne wolf]

If you use root harnesk or bonemass power and block him with a serpent scale shield, it is possible to take an amount of damage small enough for no damage number to appear.

[shy marlin]

Lost me at tower shields

[mortal raven]

ooooh i didnt know it was resistant against pierce

thats awesome

[median stream]

serpent shield is the only tower shield i support use of

[mortal raven]

-15 percent movement speed...

well sorry unless youre in Ashlands its the best option🙏

[rain flare]

I use all the tower shields

[shy marlin]

bros playin on hard mode

[wary shore]

i could see using towershields if you're in a server too laggy to parry, but parrying is too overpowered. and it's fun. I definitely think they should buff tower shields. They should all give some kinda resistance like the serpentscale shield and slow you down a little less.

or maybe they should allow you to parry but you only do 50% more damage

[nocturne wolf]

Resistances might be too powerful, they just need more block armor

You can already take 0 damage from the final boss, if we get shield resistances for other damage types you’d be able to do that against anything

[rain flare]

You really don't need to buff tower shields

They are there for people who don't want to parry
And you are forgetting about the knockback element

Nothing works better at giving you space to fight than a good tower shield on high block skill

Parry is great for single targets as it is difficult to time things properly when 4-5 enemies are trying to hit you

They each have their roles and uses

Aaaand I just hit run 50

[shy marlin]

that feeling when atgeirs do knockback better than towershields

[rain flare]

Crowd control 👍

[nocturne wolf]

If the tower shield wasn’t slowing you down you could just use the s key to create enough distance

[rain flare]

And you still do a really good amount of knockback - I use atgirs when I don't have something to put my back against

[midnight summit]

I like tower shields, but I don't really use them. At one point I wanna do a tower shield and spear run and see how that goes.

[nocturne wolf]

Maces are probably one of the better weapons to use with a tower shield because of the high stagger on the secondary attack

[sharp bluff]

maces also happen to obliterate certain enemy types

[rain flare]

I would rather use a spear if viable (spears are useless against stone golems for example) as i can hit faster, level up the skill faster, and once you perfect the spear throw as your enemies are closing, you can do immense damage from relative safety

[sharp bluff]

atgeir > spear

[rain flare]

Atigier = no shield

[sharp bluff]

ye, but they can block and parry on their own kek

[shy marlin]

don't need a shield if everything is just staggered

[rain flare]

We are talking about a viable weapon to use with a tower shield

[shy marlin]

also atgeir can actually parry pretty well

[midnight summit]

Usually how I play lol

[sharp bluff]

if you want to troll yourself by using a tower shield then a mace goes a long way. ye

[hot herald]

I've been an avid bow man for the longest time

I just can't man, they're so good.

[rain flare]

You really don't need to use the "meta" strat to just enjoy playing the game man.

[sharp bluff]

bows are great if something is too far away to stab it

[rain flare]

Parry is always going to be better than tower shields because it takes skill to do properly

but if you mess up, you die

[sharp bluff]

it isnt about "meta", its about crippling self slows

[hot herald]

Even close range, I'm just a speed demon with the fenris set

[rain flare]

especially on hard mode which is where I know alot of this thought process is coming from

[hot herald]

High risk high reward

[rain flare]

You have meads and other mechanics to work around it
Not everyone wants to play with high risk high reward gameplay

[shy marlin]

I mean hardmode just favors atgeirs even more lol

[sharp bluff]

ironically tower shield become better in hard mode due to parry tresholds

[nocturne wolf]

How?

[hot herald]

That's why I blow wjth bows. I could play upclose and go for high risk parries... buuuuut.

[midnight summit]

I'm more focused on vibes over efficiency. Like knife&bow combo. Be all roguey.

[hot herald]

Love me some knife bow

[midnight summit]

Haven't made it to mistlands yet, but eventually I'm going to do a knifebow only run and I'm excited for the knife there

[hot herald]

I feel like a rogue dude. I even keep a crossbow just for that high burst then repositioning

[shy marlin]

Crossbow enjoyers

[hot herald]

I've been leaning towards spellcasting a bit, just to get a taste of it, yknow? I think it's cool to keep multiple sets: 1. For group play, different roles. 2. For different vibes
Maybe one day I wanna be Gandalf the dangling.

[shy marlin]

Mage is really strong, worth giving it a shot

[hot herald]

Also spellcasting is just good for body recovery squads

I've actually been looking for others as a sort of tour guide, lol. I've played with one dude who wanted me to jsut run around with him. Not get too involved, but as a bodyguard so he could feel more comfortable branching out into the wild

[tacit crystal]

Tower shield + knife enjoyers.

[sharp bluff]

simply less risky since stagger tresholds and frens change

but its still worse than ya know, parrying xd

[rain flare]

Well, that is the point

[plucky void]

hey, is it normal that my ||flametal is'nt sinking when i mine it?|| I can literally mine it all

[nocturne wolf]

The chance for flametal to sink was reduced, now it's 1% per hit. You're getting lucky.

[hot herald]

Ye

[plucky void]

damn, ok cause its been two that i got the entirety

[sharp bluff]

point being that the gap between the two is smaller in hard

[wooden tapir]

@languid echo i would be willing to donate a couple 2 star ask eggs for your fader testing

if you are still doing that

[wooden tapir]

man i forgot how crazy the early game wood grind is. i miss my wood farm ):

[midnight summit]

I'm doing the same

[wooden tapir]

everytime i farm like 3-400 wood and go " that should last a little bit"

[dreamy kiln]

it wont 🙂

[merry pebble]

It never does 😄

[wooden tapir]

woodcutting is my highest skill xdd

[sharp bluff]

even worse with stone
got two iron chests full, start building, and mid build i have to go farm stone xd

[wooden tapir]

lmao! i did the same with black marble. i think i used over 6 blackmetal chests full on a build. LOTS of hunting for the giants

anyone who builds massive bases with black marble, and actually goes out and farms it, huge respect. that is a real grind

[sharp bluff]

imo it looks ugly so im spared that f ate

[obtuse remnant]

Additive per hit?

[nocturne wolf]

No, 1% for every hit

[ornate matrix]

I just found out that bosses actually despawn.

[nocturne wolf]

They're not supposed to. What did you do?

[raven heron]

am i going insane or did the game bug, i just had 2 seekers and 3 fulings spawn at my base in the black forest

[nocturne wolf]

Was it at night?

[raven heron]

yeah

[nocturne wolf]

Killing bosses allows stronger enemies to spawn in earlier biomes, but only at night and they despawn at day.

[raven heron]

but 3 fulings and 2 seeker?? at the same time???

i thought i was safe in black forest lmao

[nocturne wolf]

You are, if you sleep

[ornate matrix]

I lost against moder so I brought her somewhere else in order to improve my arena and when I wanted to fight her again 20 in game days later she wasn't there anymore so I had to summon her again.

[dreamy kiln]

one does not command moder around 🙂

[summer hinge]

A wild rsm appears!

[near furnace]

And then he choclates himself away 😱

[dreamy kiln]

👀

[plush umbra]

guys are there any popular public servers to join fresh?

[tacit crystal]

There you might have better luck https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
There is no public servers running by developers, most servers are running by individual people.

[plush umbra]

thats a shame, if it was done like rust the game would be even more popular

thanks though

[tacit crystal]

Devs have designed the game being either solo or coop experience with close friends. So be wary when looking for people to play with.

[azure yacht]

How?

Not everyone likes PvP survival craft games, and I'm sure most people who come here play precisely because it's not pvp-focused

[tacit crystal]

Should be possible run with mac and windows, not 100% sure about mods tho, so better ask from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 if people there have experience of that.

[torpid pilot]

Is there any way to prevent items drop upon death ?

[wooden tapir]

yes, in the world settings before you load up the world

[torpid pilot]

I did that, put the death penalty to casual but my items still dropped upon death

[merry pebble]

It only keeps the equiped items, there is no way to keep all

[torpid pilot]

Ah I see , better than nth I guess. Thanks

[wooden tapir]

im assuming you made sure to tick the "start server" option and gave him the join code

[crisp quiver]

what gives you the most coal from the obliterator

[sharp bluff]

technically trophies

but like, just make a flame pillar farm?

[crisp quiver]

the most ive gotten to is like the very beginning of mistlands so idk what that is

[merry pebble]

The geysirs in swamps = flame pillars 😉

[errant girder]

flame pillar in swamp spawns Surtlings. dig down to water around the pillar and Surtlings go poof . leaving coal behind

[dusk bloom]

hey sorry im new--does killing the boss clear the mist in mistlands? 🙂 or is there a way too? ive got the firefly that follows you but just curious. if not its okay. the only information i see is from like..2 years ago lol

[crisp quiver]

OH surtling spawner

ik what that is

[sharp bluff]

dont put your workbench and portal too close

[merry pebble]

No unfortunately, but you can use the wisp torches 🙂
||But if you REALLY want it gone forever in its entirety you will have to use devcommands||

[errant girder]

Lots, and LOTS of wisp torches lol

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄 so many nice blue lights 😄

[errant girder]

if you cover enough area, including higher places. the mist "can" leave the map, not just the ground in front of you. Not sure if time/effort/materials invested is worth it tho

[merry pebble]

Oh it almost certainly isnt 😄

[errant girder]

LOL! but fun as a "once off"

[alpine crow]

Does dungeons reset? skeleton and rewards

[merry pebble]

Nope, only stuff like yellow mushrooms respawn 🙂

[sharp bluff]

useful towards the lategame but kinda useless for now

[rare path]

can u plant and grow toadstool urself

[merry pebble]

Nope

You have to buy it

[alpine crow]

not even skeleton?

[merry pebble]

Nope, but in some later dungeons even enemies may respawn 🙂

[merry pebble]

You were in the correct channel before... #mods-screenshots , #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[quasi latch]

Skeletons spawn naturally in certain ways. For more information, consult the Valheim wiki.

[alpine crow]

is there a way to kinda dismantale armor? by mistake I crafted the wrong thing

[merry pebble]

No unfortunately

[alpine crow]

alright, thank you for the help

[glossy niche]

Thanks, I missed the mods-issues channel somehow. I'll forward my message there.

[alpine crow]

is there a way to remove the blurry/fog thing in the game or is it part of it?

cant see a thing because of it from far

[merry pebble]

Do you mean the white fog?

[alpine crow]

the casual one yes, I am still in Meadows-Black foresst

[merry pebble]

Then also no i am afraid, tho you can look up on what days the weather will be like that 🙂 Kirilloid made a webside for it http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1

[elder glen]

is silver shield a better idea or there is better

[merry pebble]

For modded stuff #mods-discussion might be able to help 🙂

[merry pebble]

Compared to...?

[elder glen]

no like same with iron there is 2 perry iron sheilds but the one that cost 10 is better

[nocturne wolf]

Silver shield is the only mountains-tier shield and is better than iron buckler and banded shield

[elder glen]

tytyyy I was afraid there will be a silver buckler

[merry pebble]

You should be able to host from your device

[deft blaze]

Does anyone know what graphics technology causes things to fade into the scene, like when you change the text on a sign?

[merry pebble]

It should be as simple as selecting the start server option in the world menu, then you select a password and you are good to go

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have any other examples for this? Nothing is fading when I change the text on a sign.

[merry pebble]

Pretty much

[glass parrot]

Am I able to fit both a mead kettle and cauldron on the same campfire?

[elder glen]

iron pit is what for

[merry pebble]

I dont think so, but you can just make 2 🙂

[deft blaze]

Looks like it's Antialiasing. It didn't happen on my 1080ti, but it does on my 4070 super, on many games. It's probably some new type that the card uses by default
It's pretty subtle, about 1/5 of a second for the image to even out and look normal. The first frame is jagged and distorted, then it clears up over the following frames. It's like some AI refinement or something, I absolutely hate it and would rather take an FPS hit
Here's an example, frame 1 and 6 compared: https://imgur.com/a/8WIhjRf

Answer: Valheim uses Temporal Anti-Aliasing - TAA is a rendering technique that uses information from past frames to smooth edges and reduce aliasing artifacts, particularly in motion, by accumulating samples over time
I turned off AA in Valheim, then forced FXAA 8x to override the application in the Nvidia control panel. It's no longer blurry and looking great.

[kind iron]

You can, I have before. But it was realllly tight.

[glass parrot]

Alright thanks

[glass parrot]

Thank you

[tacit crystal]

It's possible.

[heady parcel]

The distance you can glide with the feather cape if jumping off a really high mountain is bloody awesome

[glass parrot]

Yup I got it to work!

[wary oak]

is making bronze armour worth it?

Cuz lowkey I'm regretting wasting 50 bronze after finding out how slow it is

[sharp bluff]

troll is generally considered the superior option

due to putting less strain on your metall supply

[wary oak]

ufffff

[heady parcel]

As someone who prefers to use heavy armour throughout the entire game, I have decided against crafting it the last few times. The troll suit offers almost as much armour while letting you keep your mobility - and the mats come at you on two legs.

[sharp bluff]

same with the next biome too btw
the light armour is the better of the two, and this time by quite a bit

[wary oak]

the dripp tho

[sharp bluff]

turns out innate resistances are absolutely borked

[wary oak]

sadly i've already crafted it and upgraded it to level 2

[heady parcel]

Indeed - as @wary oak says - the bronze armour looks hella good!

[wary oak]

but then I found out about the movement penalty

[wary oak]

ye looks like ur about to whoop some ass in the forest

[sharp bluff]

heavy armor becomes BiS from silver and onwward

if you dont want to use spells that is...

[heady parcel]

If you already have it crafted, stick with it and upgrade it I'd say. With a good shield it does make you a wee bit more tanky than in with the blue suit. And I personally loathe the blue tint of the troll suit. If I could dye it I'd use it more...

[wary oak]

ive got the bone shield, I uses 2 shields akshually

the rounded one for 1v2, the big bone for raids or multiple enemies fights

[sharp bluff]

parrying is a key skill, you will want to learn it eventually
its a massive dps boost for bursting down single enemies

[wary oak]

I play on high difficulty so bone shield is a MUST in the burial chamber and raids

[heady parcel]

Tower shields are good for tanking, but you can't parry with them. I prefer the round shield, good balance.

[sharp bluff]

ah, that changes things

[heady parcel]

Aah, higher difficulties are beyond my knowledge. I see no reason to go there, they just narrow down your options with mathematics, it's not really more "difficult" - it just forces some strategies on you.

[wary oak]

ye, i'm new tho, the difficulty makes the gameplay so much fun

[wary oak]

tbh thats like the whole point for me, I gotta STRUGGLE otherwise the game is boring

[sharp bluff]

the swamp will kill you, a lot

[wary oak]

Burial chamber already did that 😭 there's ONE I couldn't finish, there's 2 skeleton archers + 1 two stars archer all behind one single door..

[sharp bluff]

starred archers in the next biome can oneshot you xd

[heady parcel]

Normal difficulty will let you struggle bigtime if you don't go the cookie-cutter route, I have never ever found it too easy tbh. Valheim is perfectly balanced as is, the increased difficulties skews the balance imo.

[snow rover]

Root harness has lasting appeal

[sharp bluff]

because innate resistances are borked

[wary oak]

wdymm cookie-cutter route

[heady parcel]

Min-maxing instead of using what you like or think is fun - researching numbers to optimise the very best gear combo for any situation.

[sharp bluff]

there are certain setups which can trivialize certain situations
root armour for example is just hillariously anti swamp
and atgeir, even an unupgraded bronze one, can stunlock trolls from full to zero

[wary oak]

Do you know what this game really need tho?

MORE MUSIC SOUNDS, cuz it's getting boring hearing the same thing in my meadows base for 50 hours

[heady parcel]

The reason I don't like higher difficulties is that they force you to do the min-maxing or you just die

[nocturne wolf]

This game really needs neck summons

[wary oak]

Ayy elden valheim ring

[sharp bluff]

you also really need to know your parry options

[torpid pilot]

What health potions are available before the elder boss?

[shy marlin]

Minor hp

[heady parcel]

The minor should be unlocked by then, no?

[torpid pilot]

Ok thx gonna check it out , I’m getting cooked left and right

[heady parcel]

raspberries, honey and one of those yellow flowers (forget the name)

[torpid pilot]

Haven’t seem to encounter honey

[heady parcel]

Old, abandoned buildings in Meadows can have beehives - if you destroy one they should drop a queen bee which unlocks what you need

[torpid pilot]

Alright will run around then , thanks

[heady parcel]

You'll hear the buzzing when you get near

[wary oak]

Look for bees nest, usually you'll hear buzzing around em

[oak river]

building log cabins takes so much wood

anybody got a mix between corewood walls and normal wood walls that looks nice?

i was thinking 2 layers of corewood and then normal walls above that

[ember kraken]

I like 2 core logs, the wood cross section, and then 2 core logs

[oak river]

that looks sick

ty for the suggestion

i think ill do that for the bottom floor and then 2core logs followed by normal wood logs for the top floor

[magic thistle]

how many abominations can I find in the swamp? if its only 1 do they respawn?

[wide oxide]

still new to this game. does anyone know if trolls will raid my base in the meadows?

[wary oak]

YES LOL

[wide oxide]

oh no that scares me haha

any advice on how to mitigate them destroying everything?

[wary oak]

there's a way to cheese them but idk if you want me to expose the secret

[wide oxide]

im definitely open to the knowledge lol

[wary oak]

The way you deal with raids in this game is 2, you either fight it out or make trenches around your base

However, IF you want to fight a troll, the best way is to grab a bow + fire arrows

[wide oxide]

ok awesome, just made my first set of fire arrows actually! then a 2 star troll mollywhopped me

[wary oak]

Get close to them in a distance to initiate their attack animation > sprint to get out of their attack then hold your bow and shoot

[wide oxide]

awesome thanks so much for the tips i really appreciate it

[wary oak]

no worries man

Make sure to upgrade your bow, unless you can get the bronze age one

[wide oxide]

just got bronze recently havent even seen a bow, does it unlock later?

[wary oak]

its called finewood bow

it doesn't need bronze but it needs a bronze axe to farm that type of wood in the black forest

[wide oxide]

ahhh ok awesome ill look for it thanks!

[echo crest]

Tip: if you find a shipwreck, you can get fine wood without a bronze axe, meaning you can craft finewood bow earlier that way

Since if you smash the shipwreck to pieces, it drops fine wood

[shy marlin]

I mean there's a bunch of different ways to get early fine wood but yea that's always a nice one to find

[echo crest]

You need about 30 fine wood to craft and upgrade fine bow. core wood too, but you dont need bronze axe for pine trees which drop core wood.

[wispy path]

I think shroud said it better than I could: https://www.twitch.tv/shroud/clip/CrackyLaconicNeanderthalRedCoat-8PTXJYmpzABIvDQS

it's been funny watching him play valheim again 😄 he's getting his ass kicked

[shy marlin]

yea, hope 1.0 addresses and touches up on multiplayer, it can def be improved upon

[wintry hollow]

yo guys

does anyone have knowledge at building base?

[wary oak]

ask and if anyone does they'll help

[wintry hollow]

I need help im confused af

[wary oak]

Okay then ask bro 😭

you're asking fro help but nobody knows the question

[wintry hollow]

Yea its about the stability my base keeps losing health someone told me i need stonecutter so i made it but idk how to build to make it more stable

I dont know how to build these pillars all the way up to the roof to make it more stable

And also do i need to break all the wood walls to put the stone walls there or can i put the stone walls at the wall without breaking the wood wall

[mint ore]

Is the base of your building made of stone?

[wintry hollow]

no

all made of wood

[wooden tapir]

this would prob require someone to come to your world and check it out. it would be easier

stability in building is a lot of trial and error

[wintry hollow]

Thats what im waiting for..

no one is online at this time i texted 3 people 😭

[wooden tapir]

i can check it out

dm me your steam fc

[wintry hollow]

alright text me in private

[deft blaze]

Parts lose health when they're not covered by a roof and it rains. They only get damaged to 50% so you can just let them stay that way if you want. They will be easier for enemies to break of course.
The support beams allow you to build further out/up, and should be put in a straight line. Put one in the ground, set your snap option to 'bottom' then aim at the top of it - the next one will go right on top. Do it a few times.

[wary oak]

WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL COPPER MINER?

i've been digging for 3 hours trying to make this whole thing fall apart idk

[shy marlin]

honestly wouldn't even bother with collapsing copper

It's much more precise than silver

[wary oak]

its for shit and giggles

[vocal rivet]

How many times have you giggled in those three hours?

[wary oak]

0

[vocal rivet]

Going well then.

[wary oak]

if there's anything I need atm

either a 2 star troll or a giant exacavator to help with this

[wary oak]

after 3 hours of digging, I can finally say it wasn't worth it fellas

[shy marlin]

ty for ur research soldier

you can rest now you've earned it

[wary oak]

No master I still have to drag the cart over 300 miles cuz I left 633 stone behind

was a fun experiment but I'm definitely not doing thiss again lmao

[deep ravine]

I kinda like mining copper because the nodes are so big.

[remote obsidian]

Odin please drop a performance enhancement with the for north please please please 🙏

[agile peak]

Just entered the mountains for the first time in my latest playthrough, I was pretty under prepared. My haldir portal is literally 2 minutes from a mountain biome. Anyway, in those 2 minutes I managed to attract the attention of a troll, a grey dwarf brute, both a 1 and 2 star grey dwarf and a bunch of regular grey dwarves. I entered the mountains with an army. 2 wolves and a drake later and I was alone

[deft blaze]

My friend tried it 4 times during our world so far, and it worked the 4th time

[heady parcel]

I've run the game just fine on a veritable potato machine, if you're having performance problems maybe they can be fixed by tweaking settings your side? Oh yeah, one typical performance hog not everyone are aware of is tree stumps and loose items lying around, that can impact performance if you let such things accumulate too much.

Always clear the stumps - they give some wood too so leaving them is not just ugly, it is a waste of resources 😄

[remote obsidian]

it is absolutely hundred percent mine and my friends giant bases but with the graphics valheim has its crazy that we still dont even reach 40 fps

[heady parcel]

Ah right, gotcha. I still haven't managed to build big enough to impact performance, but I'm working on it...

[remote obsidian]

Good luck its a grind and make sure you and maybe your friend have your bases a little bit away from eachother

especially your farms

[mild hemlock]

Valheim

[midnight summit]

Valheiiiim

[near furnace]

Valheimür!

[agile peak]

that moment when you get to the swamp, get killed by a 2 star Draugr, corpse run back, get your stuff, kill draugr, run to crypt to realise you forgot pickaxes

[midnight summit]

Especially when you already had poison resistant ticking. Feel that.

[agile peak]

I had just used the potion

I don't like the swamps

is the fishing pole actually worth it?

[tacit crystal]

It's the only tool for fishing, so for that purpose it is worth it.

[agile peak]

ok, is fishing worth it then? I know you can get trollfish for strength potions, but is there any superior fish food?

[tacit crystal]

Currently one specific fish food in 6th biome (||Mistlands||) which has the highest stamina of the 6th biome foods. But also some other fish are required for some mead recipes (||Perch|| and ||Grouper||).

Cooked fish is required also for few food recipes, like ||Seafarers feast|| and ||Fish wraps||.

[agile peak]

I'll try fishing, thanks!

[tacit crystal]

You need different baits for specific fish. You can craft other baits on Preparation table once you have bought regular fishing bait from Haldor.

The different baits require certain trophies.

[narrow oriole]

I might just be schizophrenic but I've had a piece of tin respawn for like 4 times already, I thought ores didn't respawn or did they change this ?

sounds like a typical valheim moment

just like running halfway to a mining site or a crypt. and you forget halfway to get rested buff

[agile peak]

yeah, that too

I was also planning on doing 1 more crypt and found the absolute mother of all crypts, there's gottta be like 3-4 stacks of iron in it

[wary oak]

schizophrenia

[near furnace]

it shouldn't respawn 🤔

[azure yacht]

You are

[near furnace]

only flint

[narrow oriole]

Ight guys ig I'll get it checked out 😀

[near furnace]

could be someone running a client side mod tho

never rule that out 😄

or server mod where resources respawns

[median stream]

do the developers plan on patching out glitches like the finewood chair glitch to bypass the swamp key?

or is it like a hollowknight thing where they'll intentionally keep unintentional progression skips

[near furnace]

no

there are so many of those around that would be a pain to fix

if the players would be pushed back from the wall, they could instead get stuck inside furniture

and then the sollution would be that not allow players to build to close to certain objects

which would also produce issues itself

and what problem does it make in a single player game with co-op ?
nothing exept you cheat yourself

[raw estuary]

Could you guys look at my post in #valheim-help

if you have time

[agile peak]

16 scrap iron in a chest, pretty sure that's the most I've ever seen

[midnight summit]

As someone whose in swamp on my current playthrough, it feels so nice hitting 10+ in chests.

[wary oak]

y'all iron addictive

[midnight summit]

I thought that was a requirement.

[glossy dune]

How much iron is enough including using it for heavy builds?

[median stream]

never

[midnight summit]

Generally you'll be back tracking for iron a ton. I would say, best to keep track of it and write it down for future reference. Depending on how much you like to build it can definitely vary.

[upbeat crypt]

fastest way to acquire 2000 stones?

[tacit crystal]

Stone pillars in Plains probably, depending on what is your current progression.

[upbeat crypt]

that is a great idea thanks

[tacit crystal]

Take portal mats with you so you can always store the collected stones at your base.

[upbeat crypt]

lol my computer froze for an entire second

around 400 stones in 2 minutes of picking

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it does that for a moment when you break the whole stone. It's funny, tbh.

[mild hemlock]

Is it worth converting an Ashland’s fortress into a base? Ive done all the ground work and put some black marble flooring down. Might break the front gate and put flametal doors in.

[tacit crystal]

It's nice for sure. Having an outpost and safe place is good.

[nova verge]

What is Valheim for U guys?

[azure yacht]

A Viking game

[wispy latch]

Viking game with friends

[brave spoke]

same

why do f5 comand not working

[vapid jacinth]

Any servers for newbies? Or anyone fairly new looking to start a new world together?

[tacit crystal]

Have you enabled them by writing -console in small text box in properties on Steam? If yes, then did you write devcommands to enable commands ingame?

[tacit crystal]

You might find someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[brave spoke]

yes i have done both

[vapid jacinth]

Thank you 🙏

[tacit crystal]

Pressing F5 doesn't open the command log?

[brave spoke]

no

[tacit crystal]

Have you switched buttons accidentally?

[brave spoke]

no how do i do that

[gilded nebula]

Mental agony and despair

[light moat]

An addiction

[mild current]

Hola

[tacit crystal]

Try closing the game, retype -console again and reopen the game.

[raven heron]

idk if im blind, does krom use just normal sword skill? no two handed version?

[merry pebble]

Yes, it is a sword 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Correct, swords skill. Same as all axes use axes skill.

[raven heron]

daaamn then it will be pretty good, been using swords the whole playthrough

[wary oak]

why everyone got a flower on thier names wth

[merry pebble]

Last spring certain space cat decided we will become a spring cult 🙂

[wary oak]

I should've made a winter cult

[merry pebble]

You cant change peoples names tho 😄

[light moat]

☀️ Summer cult ☀️

[merry pebble]

Nah, summer bad 😦

Too hot

[wary oak]

well u got both emojis so y'all like a merged cult or smth

[merry pebble]

Oh no, the fire is from when ashlands came out 😄

[tacit crystal]

And possible broom from last October when Bog Witch patch was added.

[echo crest]

What? There is such a glitch? Interesting

[near furnace]

yes

place a chair next to a wall or something you want to glitch into

sit down on it

stand up. your ghost walking through objects

congratulations, you just cheated in a singleplayer game

😄

[merry pebble]

It works with sitting logs too, but i dont really think it needs fixing. New players will most likely not stumble upon it on their own and if they want to use exploits then why the hell not 🙂

[near furnace]

🤔

☀️

🌞

@light moat solved it

[echo crest]

Naah I wont do that, but good to know anyway 🙂

[light moat]

Praise the sun!

[near furnace]

you can do the same into trees 😄

or walls
