[wide wagon]

Even with max bow id need like 2 if hitting all shots

[plush umbra]

What bow r u using

[wide wagon]

Draugr fang

[plush umbra]

Well i did say before I've got 1 more with me so this is good to know

He's got same bow but not maxed yet

But if i can get in with my max silver sword the thing should perish

[wide wagon]

Omg she landed in a fightable spot for first time in 10 minutes

[plush umbra]

R u talking and fighting?

[wide wagon]

No I pause here and there

And hwen shes in the air or unreachable I just kinda chill

Shes at more than half health, my mace at less than half durability. Bow slightly more than half

[plush umbra]

When she's in the air roll around and shoot her with ur bow, keep stam meads on hand

Widle down her health or you'll never beat her

[nocturne wolf]

I make a terrain pillar to use as a shield from her flying projectile attack

[merry pebble]

you should be able to kill her with 145 obsidian arrows, that is only counting their own dmg, not adding the bow dmg

[plush umbra]

Lmao damn

[wide wagon]

Im trying bro

Ive shot like 150 arrows so far, shes at half health but thats mostly from my melee since I cant fucking hit her while shes flying.

[plush umbra]

Stam meads r gonna be ur best friend, eat health foods and drink stam meads, you'll be able to roll around and shoot her, if u got a scale shield I really have no doubt u should be able to take 2 or 3 hits blocking with it if u need to

A max one anyway

[wide wagon]

Right now shes standing on her spawn. i cant jump up cus her hitbox and its just elevated enough that the shitty vertical combat means I cant hit her

Im so pissed. Spend 90% of the time unable to damage her except with bow

[shy marlin]

Yea moder is probably my least favorite boss

[plush umbra]

^^

I mean as this guy said, and I ain't fought her yet but I'll believe it

And if u ever fought a group of drakes with a golem chasing u you should be used to rolling and dodging arial attacks

[plush umbra]

Thats where this comes in

And u gotta really pick n chose when to melee depending where she lands

[wide wagon]

i jsut got triepl shotted by her air attack

Got stuckm, 3 hits came in, Im dead. Fuck this bro

[plush umbra]

Drakes do the same thing tho 3 shots in 1

Just fall back and try again tmr

[wide wagon]

Yeah I know. She shoots many shots. If you take 3 youre dead no matter what armor

[plush umbra]

You're probly not rested anymore either

Get urself a scale sheild and 2 stacks of stam meads and 3 stacks of obsidian arrows before u fight her next

[wide wagon]

I had bow in hand. Couldnt block, couldnt move, just completely fucke

[plush umbra]

I hear ya, bro it took me 3 hours to beat bonemass on 1st try

It doesn't hurt to fall back and try again when ur more prepared

[wide wagon]

This is my second run. I found bonemass easy. I think last time the queen fight took me literally an hour, even though I was alive most of the time. Queen just had so much healht and magic does damage so slowl

Moder's at 1/3 health Im finishing htis

[plush umbra]

I'm on 1st ever world doing this, waiting for brother to get off work tnt and we will kill moder

[wide wagon]

Yeah this game is so much easier with friends

[plush umbra]

Bonemass was annoying cuz of the extra mobs

[wide wagon]

Ashlands for me my last save I just cheated. I dont think its possible for a non super talented player to survive the landing alone.

[merry pebble]

It certainly is 😄 even i survived the first landing (at least long enough to put down portal xD) and i really am at most average player

[wide wagon]

I dont even remember the last boss's name or the fight with it. The queen's fight was just so horrible and memorable though. Like I said 1 hour long, just running around, shooting, trying not to die. Even if I died more in the ashlands fight I cant imagine it was as painful

[nocturne wolf]

The queen is my least favourite boss

[wide wagon]

Idk about average player. I died first like 3 times without getting any portal down. Maybe it was bad luckj with the spanw,and obviously Im far below average.

[shy marlin]

say what queen is awesome

[nocturne wolf]

She’d be ok if she teleported less frequently

[wide wagon]

The queen teleports?!?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes she digs into the ground and emerges somewhere else

[wide wagon]

Oh shit thats right

[plush umbra]

Just keep that scale sheild on hand

What sword is after silver ???

[wide wagon]

Theres that one area in the queen fight area that I always ran around. I dont even know if anybody beats the queen without using that spot. But it was sooo sooo dull

[merry pebble]

Not everyone likes tower shields 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Black metal sword

[plush umbra]

Its just good to have on hand for bad scenarios, and okok is it a lot better ?

[wide wagon]

Its like Moder's pathfinding refuses to let her go onto traversable terrain

My bow is broken. Lets just hope she lands in a traversable spot soon

[nocturne wolf]

You can head back and quickly repair it if you have a portal nearby

[shy marlin]

in before "i'm on no boss portals"

[wide wagon]

Got her finally

[wide wagon]

Lol im on all portal items. Ive played normally before. Fucking painful

[nocturne wolf]

I forgot that even exists

[wide wagon]

Jesus christ that was painful

[merry pebble]

Tbh i have not seen many people using that setting 🤔 usually its either normal portals, portal everything or no portals.

[shy marlin]

yea

[wide wagon]

Cant wait to go to plains and die to mosquitos

(Jk, im probably better at the game now, we'll see)

[merry pebble]

-# Pssst, root harnesk 😉

[wide wagon]

I forgot that existed. I actually used that during the swamp so I could avoid dmaage from archers

[heady parcel]

I finally tamed a couple of wolfses, just because you're supposed to do that, and now I'm struggling to figure out what to do with a bunch of confused floofs scrambling around my base without purpose. What do people actually use them for?

[merry pebble]

Base protection actually xD

[wide wagon]

Meat? I dont think taming is super great

Same with boars. I never tamed them. Didnt see any point

[heady parcel]

I get stacks of wolf meat every time I venture into the mountains, it comes to me on legs..

[wide wagon]

Yeah thats why I dont get them

I guess maybe with lox its more sensible, cus they are tougher, more dangerous, rarer, and their meat is used in many high tier foods

[heady parcel]

For base protection I have actually observed a pattern - any nightspawned fulings running around the base will get drawn to the wolf pen and shamble around there trying to figure out how to get to the wolves. That's something I guess...

But the wolves' inability to defend themselves from a bunch of freaking bats disqualifies them from any higher purpose

[wide wagon]

Lol

Yeah they have so little health. Seems like using them for base defense would be more of a hassle than anything.

[plush umbra]

good nightt

[heady parcel]

I guess you need a crapton of them to make the damage output matter

[strong lichen]

you looked at the same list as me? what about bone bolts, dead raiser or spinesnap?

[heady parcel]

There's the odd thing that crops up needing bones, but yeah between Black Forest and Mistlands they aren't very useful...

[gloomy sedge]

lf a group/server to start a new play thru just beat ash boss recently and wou ld like to start over on a mostly vanilqa playthru

[heady parcel]

Head over to the #1024264966712340510 channel then 🙂

[glossy dune]

Hahaha gotta love frostner uppercut after parry, fuling went flying

[heady parcel]

Or bonking something like a Greyling with the Demolisher

[true steppe]

Yag is toast

[wary oak]

I'm so jealous of people that are creative with base designing

[deep ravine]

Samesies

[kind iron]

Big true. I always make practical builds with all stations in 1 room surrounded by storage of all materials.

I would love to build a blacksmith but it feels inefficient.

[hot herald]

Just keep practicing ❤️. Most of my early builds in other games were so terrible, over time I started experimenting with new ideas and looks. Now I have my own style of builds that feels right for me. It takes time, but most importantly practice

[hot herald]

I think it's always what you want it to be. You can make something only pretty, or only practical. The beauty is when you make it both

[wary oak]

I be spending 7 hours to get simple ideas, but when I watch these YouTubers they already figure out the base layout in 5 minutes..

And it turns to be 100 time beeter than mine

[hot herald]

Don't be deceived with youtube videos. Sometimes they'll spend a whole day thinking about it before building.

[near furnace]

and most of them have 1000's of hours just building 😄

[wary oak]

It still crazy to me how creative they are 😩

[near furnace]

just do it

as the advertistment says 😄

[wary oak]

I've spent like 60 hours designing my base but it doesn't looks anywhere good tbh

[near furnace]

there are alot of good tutorials

[hot herald]

Tons of good ones

[light moat]

Just takes practice!

[wide wagon]

So i fully mined out the bottom of one of the plains pillars and then it just didnt collapse

And idk how to make it

[haughty leaf]

I just started playing.. I am at the mountains now. I was just wondering about the world.. so far all the bio's have been close around my map. Is there any point traveling across the whole map? Does the swamp area have the same look and stuff no matter where on the map? Or do they add things or change the look for different areas of the map? Just wondering why I would want to travel all that way just to see the same thing as the swamp close to me.

[near furnace]

prettu much the same

[haughty leaf]

Oh 😦

[wide wagon]

Trust me, you'll still want to explore large parts of the map 😉

[azure yacht]

Which wouldn't be a good thing to do. Explore what you need, don't explore just because

[livid grail]

e

What?

[celest acorn]

that feeling when you demolish 3 trolls with a level 2 lightwood bow 30 flint arrows and a skill level 50 in bows

[haughty leaf]

Another thing.. I am beefing up my defense against raids. I see some videos with these amazing builds but they look just wide open with no defense at all. Do they just make a world to build on and don't clear bosses to deal with the higher raids? Or is there something else they are doing like turn raids off?

[regal spoke]

Most content creator builds are likely done in creative

[haughty leaf]

Oh ok.. there sure is alot to learn about this game. I was playing enshrouded and waiting for the next new stuff. And I know alot of people that play it came from this game.. so trying it out.. alot of fun so far

[shy marlin]

I dunno the best raid defense is the player character

[regal spoke]

So much of the fun for many of us is the learning process. Hope it brings you years of fun as well

[regal spoke]

Not wrong. I would like to get to a point where my tower defense skills prove to automate the raid defense lol

[hidden gorge]

quality takes time. you're comparing your two digit playtime to other people's four digit playtimes

[quiet rain]

what is the max fish size in the game now? i thought it went from 1-5, but uisng console commands the biggest i can spawn in is a 4, is there a command to get a 5?

[regal spoke]

Did you try a 6

[plush umbra]

I love serpent hunting for food before boss fights:)

Makes me happy

Also it's a long sail to moder

Gotta set this portal up, 300 obsidian arrows made, brewing up a couple stacks each of health and stam meads as well atm

JUST FOUND TRADER FAWK YESSSSS

[robust token]

Did April Fools update added the ability to place Stone?

Did they know with loot multiplier you can technically dupe stone?

[shy marlin]

dev commands --> spawn stone 10000000000000

omg i just duped stone

[plush umbra]

JUST FOUND HILDIR

Whats an iron pit?!

[regal spoke]

And melted your rig

[trim nacelle]

Fire pit

[rain flare]

Think camp fire but more permanent

[shy marlin]

iron pits would be cool if you could port them lol

[plush umbra]

Hell yeah

[plush umbra]

We turned on port all, got sick of sailing everywhere when we don't need serpents

Especially when ur sailing to the same place n back 10 times

[plush umbra]

About to fight the almighty moder

[proven basin]

Gah, base got troll'd again

Just want to vent that this game just hates you, can't wait for Ashlands when everything gets worse

[plush umbra]

Earth wall prevents that

Trolls walk up to my brother and I base take a couple arrows to the face and run off never to return

[proven basin]

I was just caught off guard that's all...

Then again, this was the second time I got troll'd

First time I was afk getting a swig of water
This time I thought I killed one troll, ground stopped shaking, I decided I was safe, then a log cleaved through my treasure room -_-

[unreal bear]

||there is always 2 trolls in the raid event. so if you kill one, another spawns to make sure there are 2. instead of killing them right away, and causing more new ones to spawn, I like to get their attention, lead them away from my base, and just parry or dodge and waste time until the event ends. and then kill the 2 trolls||

[proven basin]

Thanks, I'll need to take note

[gray sand]

Always 2 trolls there are.
No more, no less.
A master and an apprentice.

[proven basin]

Was discussing with my husband that after Bonemass is done, drakes will be a problem
He wants to kill the dragon, but then comes Goblin Berserkers

If trolls were bad...

[median rose]

Hi. Is there an online information table about weapon infusions(on the internet, online), like valheim wiki etc, cound not find it

[lunar sapphire]

Howdy Howdy, is this what you mean?

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Weapons#Elemental_magic

[median rose]

Cheers

[lunar sapphire]

[plush umbra]

moder killed!!!!!

to ez, 10 tears aquired

[stark rune]

hi im new in the game

is there anyone want to play

[indigo forum]

[stark rune]

my friend code 841501911

[plush umbra]

artisan table aquired

[tribal trench]

Nice

[plush umbra]

how does the wheel work
?

camt get into after placing

[tribal trench]

it loads from the side

the spinning wheel?

[plush umbra]

yes

[tribal trench]

yeah it loads from one side

[plush umbra]

left

so place right of table?

but we try that alrdy

[tribal trench]

rotate the thing if you need too

[plush umbra]

placed on left got it

ty

[tribal trench]

yup

Now you can make black metal missiles

I still use my fuling night spawn scrap for it.. =+) but not everyone uses ballista defenses

[plush umbra]

thats awsome!! yeah we been in the plains a tad, got some black metal in the blast furnace now

we will probly tackle plains this and next week

[tribal trench]

very cool! Plains is fun indeed

[plush umbra]

i hate the plains so far tbh

[tribal trench]

hmmm.. why is that?

[plush umbra]

mobs are more annoying than anything else

[muted halo]

hey guys

Can you display the whole roasted meadow boar on an item stand?

[nimble moss]

No

[wary oak]

wdym

[muted halo]

trying to display it on a table

[nocturne wolf]

Use the serving tray

[muted halo]

cant seem to attach it to an item stand

[muted halo]

thanks bro

[wary oak]

the boar trophy or what we talking about here

[muted halo]

feast material

[agile peak]

Is a grey dwarf farm worth it? I found 2 spawners pretty close and I'm fairly certain I can pick a spot between them and keep both of them spawning and just gank grey dwarves for an hour straight and grab the loot

[pliant hatch]

It's worth it. You get free stone, free wood and free eyes - most useful mats - from them, as well as the sacrificial item for the Elder.

[agile peak]

I already killed elder, but yes, the wood and stone is really handy

[tacit crystal]

Also eyes, for portals and for one mountain tier food.

[pliant hatch]

There's no rule that says you have to defeat a boss only once........

You must defeat it once to hang the trophy on the sacrificial stone.
But if you want to decorate your house with trophies.........

[agile peak]

I have lots of eyes, the frost glands are a bigger problem, but my Viking does like the cold treat, what he hates is that wolf skewers and the cold treat has 25 min duration and Onion soup only has 20

[nocturne wolf]

Turnip stew lasts 25 minutes and has more health regeneration than onion soup, some players prefer to use that even in mountains

[pliant hatch]

There's als feasts and the one most suitable for you is tied to swamp food.
It has a duration of 50 minutes, has evenly balanced health and stamina so it's a nice all round food.
And given it lasts twice as long as the other mountain foods, it's a good one to use.

[tacit crystal]

Like me.

[agile peak]

Good point actually

[nocturne wolf]

Sailor's bounty is better and available at the same point in progression

[pliant hatch]

Sailor's bounty does require hunting for serpents though.

[nocturne wolf]

Hunting for serpents isn't that bad

[tacit crystal]

And fishing.

[nocturne wolf]

Fishing is the part I don't like, but it's worth it

[agile peak]

I haven't made my abyssal harpoon yet even though I've had the materials for ages

[pliant hatch]

IN all fairness, but I find fishing easier as hunting for serpents.
In my current two games getting fish is no problem.
But I've been seeing 2 serpents in my travels in one game and 3 in the other game.
And since Serpent stew is having such a high HP value, I have been using that quite a lot in both games when entering a new biome and wanting that extra bit of HP before feeling comfortable.

[nocturne wolf]

In my singleplayer save I just reached mountains and I'm using serpent stew and sailor's bounty together for very high stats

[tacit crystal]

It's easy just kill the serpent with arrows and gather the floating meats if one doesn't care about getting scales or possible trophies.

Then again, I usually finish serpents with timing the last shot after jumping at it to get any possible trophies before they sink.

[heady parcel]

I've started trying this, ever since I discovered you need the trophy for fishing bait. So a while back I lured it close, shot it dead and jumped after - only to discover my inventory was full and I had let the foods drop off. Out of stamina, 25 health, ladder on the far side of the karve (because why the heck not?). So yeah, I drowned before making it back to the boat. One of the more shame-filled deaths of them all - and the stupid trophy sank anyway...

[wary oak]

fair but it still depressing how quick they build bases and still manage to make it look good

[true cosmos]

I started playing this game for the first time last night and I’m so trash at building lmao

[wary oak]

I'm starting to get good at it but still

[finite nimbus]

can someone help me get stuff back on mountain

[agile peak]

went to find the bog witch, forgot to bring food and now it's night, why am I like this?

[true cosmos]

ngl I was absolutely blasted so I don’t think I was good at much lmao

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, managing stamina is important.

[wary oak]

watch guides

I've got a good idea of building when I started recreating bases from yt

[true cosmos]

I will be dedicating today to that yes

[hollow crag]

I hate the Ashlands boat

Not only is it too large for most shore areas in the game, it's difficult to sail in the tight areas of Ashlands

The worst of all, there's this bug that's constantly flipping the boat over and destroys it

[light moat]

Never heard of that bug before 🤔

[hollow crag]

I have had it happened to me multiple times ever since Ashlands release a year ago

[wary oak]

I don't think ur supposed to use big boats 24/7

yk karve is cool too

[hollow crag]

#screenshots message @light moat

[hollow crag]

I was in the Ashlands

They will break if I use them

[wary oak]

Aww, I'm still in the swamp so idk

[light moat]

Oh wow, that’s crazy! What’s that orange flame looking thing?

[hollow crag]

Staff of embers?

[light moat]

No no, in the background. It looks like a flame spire.

[pliant hatch]

I think he means that spiral-like beam

[hollow crag]

It's just Ashlands weather

[light moat]

Oh nice, it looks cool like that

[hollow crag]

It's those flames that falls from the sky and destroy your wood build pieces

[pliant hatch]

How old is that world? And have you ever used mods on it?

[hollow crag]

No mods and it's a relatively new world

[hollow crag]

It happened to me way back when I first played Ashlands in another world as well

[pliant hatch]

Using Steam?

[hollow crag]

Except the boat flipped entirely back then

[hollow crag]

Yes

[pliant hatch]

Ever tried to verify your files?

[hollow crag]

I doubt that's the problem

[hollow crag]

I'm not the first one or the only one with this issue btw #screenshots message

This was a bug existed ever since Ashlands came out and they never fixed

[pliant hatch]

It could be if you're one of the few players where it happens.

I never had that problem happen to me with any of my ships in the multiple games I played.

Perhaps that makes me lucky, but then, if you don't give a possible solution a try you will never know whether or not it's fixed or not.

[hollow crag]

Either way, I only lost like 30 of those plates that costs me 30 black marbles which I have a lot of

I managed to swim to the boat and grab my other mats, although dying a few time in the process

[ember kraken]

Haven't had that happening to me. The only ship that I've ever had flip on me was a Karve in full storm. But I don't generally sail very much, and haven't been to ashlands more than twice so far, and just got there with ship, planted a portal and waste the ship, so it didn't have much time to do such things.

[hollow crag]

I am playing on a world with no map rn and trying to find the fire sword and had to basically sail around to the island that contains one of the pieces

[ember kraken]

Yeah I can see that. As said I just haven't used that ship much at all, so I might not have given it enough time to happen. Don't know.

[hollow crag]

The ship is difficult enough to sail on its own

[ember kraken]

It is, I still prefer the Karve when sailing :)

[hollow crag]

The tight water spaces make it that you have to reverse your boat almost every time you hit something

[hollow crag]

I usually like smaller boats too unless I am carrying a lot of mats

[pliant hatch]

As Chris Martin sang: "🎶 No-one said it was easy 🎶"

[true cosmos]

me, still running around carrying a torch at night, seeing discussion of boats:

[pliant hatch]

Shouldn't you have a club by now?

[wary oak]

Lmaoo go get some bronze or something

[ember kraken]

Hey, the Torch makes for a pretty good weapon early on :) Don't sleep on it, just remember to bring some materials to make lots of them.

[merry pebble]

And it is quite cheap too 😄

[ember kraken]

I do wish it counted as a fire though, so it would frighten greydwarves, and give heat while running over mountain or nights.

[true cosmos]

I have a hammer/club/torch/axe/workbench/chopping block/campfire/cooking things

that's literally it tho LMAO

[ember kraken]

"You have acquired Kitchen Sink"

[nocturne wolf]

Torches are great because they keep necks away so you don't have to kill them ❤️

[true cosmos]

no idea how to do thsi yet lmao

[wary oak]

EU?

[true cosmos]

NA lol

[pliant hatch]

You will learn over time.

Every time you gather something, you will get a shitload of recipes, check you hammer and crafting station(s) to see what it has unlocked.
After that, just pick what you think may work best for you and use that.

At some point you will have to destroy the first boss and at that point you need to move into the next biome. Things will become a bit more dangerous at that point - as it will each time you enter a new biome - but if you take things with lots of patience, you will get there.

[merry pebble]

You will find out as you progress 🙂 until then i would keep out of this server unless you are really stuck because you will inevitably encounter spoilers here.

[true cosmos]

spoilers don't bother me hahah

yeah I've already picked up plenty by simply just playing, I made a really crummy makeshift house as practice hehe

[wary oak]

don't watch yt or ask anyone here about the game honestly

So many things were spoiled for me

[regal spoke]

We brought up the relevance for a spoiler free channel for this reason.

[wary oak]

|| I didn't even know ashlands biome was a thing up till recently 😔 ||

[pliant hatch]

Easiest way to practice that: find yourself an old house and repair it. Add the missing pieces so you know how things work.
Then go outside and build a bigger version of it. Keep an eye at the colors of the build pieces, as they will give you a clue about how much you will be able to add to it.
Eventually you get stronger build pieces, making it easier to build bigger and more sturdy houses.

[wary oak]

Or js speedrun the game and build metal house 🙏🏻

[true cosmos]

for sure, I found a cute little one I plan on overtaking. I'm stockpiling resources rn, trying to get more leather scraps hehe

[pliant hatch]

<-- thinks something, but decides to keep his clap shut to avoid being banned.

[wary oak]

Or js build a karve and go to the ashlands n live there idk

[pliant hatch]

Piece of advise, try to find a house close to the shoreline.
It makes things easier later in the game when you need to sail to transport certain items and there's a very useful material to be found there (flint).
But eventually upgrading the small houses you find won't be enough, so always keep in mind that you will need more room.
One reason: you will have multiple crafting stations with their upgrades taking up lots of room.

[true cosmos]

very helpful thank you! I tend to gravitate toward water areas to begin with because I love the ocean in actuality so regardless I think I would end up with something on the water haha

[wary oak]

Just don't try jumping while the boat is sailing 😭

[pliant hatch]

I'm afraid that isn't possible, but you could find yourself a small island and turn that in a base.
With some luck you will even manage to avoid most monsters in the special events when doing that.

[true cosmos]

is it generally advised to usually sleep the night away?

[wary oak]

No

[true cosmos]

I don't' mean on the water but near the water fyi

[pliant hatch]

The night is one of the more dangerous times, so sleeping it away is useful.

[wary oak]

sleep is optional

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, you won't be cold and less enemies will spawn. It also skips time for crops, fermenting, smelting and other things.

[wary oak]

I always play through the night unless I have a reason to sleep

like sleeping so I can mine bronze in peace

[near furnace]

there is 1 good reason to sleep

[wary oak]

Or avoiding wraiths

[near furnace]

the game saves while you're sleeping 😄

[pliant hatch]

Oh, so that's why you got killed 1,000 times in the swamp?

[wary oak]

I'm playing on hardcore difficulty leave me alone 😭 🙏🏻 ofc I'll die

First playthrough too and playing at it

[true cosmos]

thank you! v helpful. I would rather sleep a lil now while I'm stille learning and making things

[pliant hatch]

If you play on hardcore difficulty, going on an adventure at night is even more dumb silly as it is in a casual playthrough. Especially on a first playthrough.

But if you think you know best, go ahead.

Just don't give wrong information to other new players like you just did a few times in the past 20 or so minutes.

[wary oak]

grandpa its not my problem that you can't read between the lines

You're the only one complaining they know it's a joke

Find a pill that says chill on it and take it

[pliant hatch]

Ah, we're heading into insults now.
That actually says a lot more about you as it does about me.
Fortuately there's also an option for me to deal with blue skinned kiddies like you. 😄

And that's blocked person #3. 😄

[wary oak]

Since you're in meadows and soon in the black forest phase, there's few scenarios where it's best to sleep

1- if you're going to mine Bronze, tin in the black forest, only do it in the morning
2. Skipping crops, smelting, tame process
3. or just trying to play safe

[wary oak]

It's not an insult If it's true, you've been like this since yesterday unable to tell the difference between a joke and not

and I don't blame you since ur 40+ year old in a gaming discord server texting 24/7 with young adults

[near furnace]

be kind to us 40+ year olds

[wary oak]

Some of y'all are cool and some of y'all idk what to say

[light moat]

Blue skin? 🤔

[wary oak]

but this one is definitely not one of them @pliant hatch

[merry pebble]

The black forest dweller kind 🙂

[wary oak]

been pissing me off for no reason

[light moat]

Ahhh got it! Went right over me lol ✈️

[shy marlin]

Reminder: What would rocky do

[near furnace]

and here I even used google

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps we should get a rocking chair in this game.
Giving a bit more comfort as the throne.
Would be the perfect piece of furniture for grandpa (and grandma) kind of persons like us. 😄

[near furnace]

"The Fugates, commonly known as the "Blue Fugates" or the "Blue People of Kentucky", are an ancestral family living in the hills of Kentucky starting in the 19th century, where they are known for having a genetic trait that led to the blood disorder methemoglobinemia, causing the skin to be blue."

[pliant hatch]

I meant the ones living in the Black Forest, Smiffe. 😉

[near furnace]

but but

I identify as a forrest living child 🤔

[regal spoke]

Also happens from ingesting a type of silver over a duration

[near furnace]

atleast when I grew up in the outback of sweden 😅

[pliant hatch]

Ah, but you don't / didn't live in the Schwarzwald, don't you?

[near furnace]

Schwarzwald is a cake

[pliant hatch]

It's also a region in Germany.

Not sure if any Viking has been there in the past, unless he turned upstream instead of downstream after raiding Dorestad, but the BF in the game gives me the impression it's similar to the German one.

[near furnace]

most forrests in northern Europe looks the same

very uneven ground, some big rocks due to ice-age moving them around, hills and some "streams" looking stuff since melting ice-age did that to the terrain

see?

[pliant hatch]

Looks like a giant barnicle.

You sure that isn't on the back of a Leviathan?

[regal spoke]

The ground is shaking

[pliant hatch]

Or he had mined copper and threw away all the stones he had gathered. 😄

[zealous thicket]

The black forest after log troll and I go out mining

[near furnace]

probably some kind of aftermath of copper mining yea

[regal spoke]

Could have been someone searching for Rocky honestly lol

[merry pebble]

I bet at least one of those Is Rocky hiding

[meager fossil]

I met my first ever 2 star berserker today. I thought I could stun him with my secondary Atgeir attack. Safe to say, im still finding bits and pieces of my face in the area

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, I noticed that Bam-bam hits pretty hard, even without stars. With those, it must be even much worse.

[meager fossil]

Its definately a mistake I only do once 😂

[nocturne wolf]

I find that flesh rippers work well for starred berserkers, because you can deal high damage in a very short time with the two-hit combo

[pliant hatch]

I hope you didn't play a perma-death game.

[meager fossil]

Oh hell no. Im not a fan of hardcore game modes. Its not for me

[meager fossil]

Flesh rippers? I might look into their weapontype in another playthrough. I ALWAYS go shield and mace or sword. This time, Im finally trying Atgeir

[nocturne wolf]

It's not much of a weapon type, right now we only have bare fists and flesh rippers for fist weapons.

[meager fossil]

Ah fair enough

I use fists on Meadow enemies lmfao

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm, that kinda souds like me.
Mace + shield and a bow. Occasionally a sword to replace the mace if it works better.

And then I decide to play a game at "hard" settings and immediately decide to use a Spear to see how it goes.....

The Irony, I think my spear skill on that character is higher as the mace and sword skills I had on other characters. 🤣

[meager fossil]

I never play on hard. But I also thought that after 600-700 hours, using the same weapon loadout over and over was a wasted opportunity

PLUS! People say Atgeir is great for harder difficulty, as you learn to avoid attacks rather than tank them!

[pliant hatch]

I think the Atgeir will be one of the few weapons I most likely won't use.
Simply because I have problems getting that secondary attack going.
I already got a problem with that with the normal weapons and for the Atgeir it's kinda mandatory to use it.

[nocturne wolf]

Atgeir and mace secondary have high stagger which is useful in higher difficulties where parrying is less reliable

[meager fossil]

Yeah its not reliable, but you learn udner what circumstances it starts being hard to use. But yeah its a risky weapon

[foggy valley]

Is there anyone new to valheim that wants to do a vanilla playthrough?

[meager fossil]

Atgeirs secondary is fantastic for stagger. But a 2 star berserker doesnt give a f**k 🤣

[chrome badge]

Atgeir has many applications, but it's also going to force a combat style you might not be adjusted to. It's understandable why some sidestep it.

[meager fossil]

Its definately not my favorite thus far. But I have to try something new and fresh

Most its shortcomings can be dealt with, with positioning

[regal spoke]

There's a few people looking to do a vanilla play through in #1024264966712340510

[foggy valley]

Thanks just found that appreciate the help

[regal spoke]

You're welcome. Hope you find a fun group

[true cosmos]

I just sunk like 2 straight hours into this game and didn't realize it had been 2 hours omg

[regal spoke]

One of us lol

[wary oak]

wlcc to valheim

[true steppe]

I recommend not fighting a 2 star berserker

Build an earth column and snipe him down instead

Trying to decide whether to expand my base or build a new one in the mistlands hmm

[quiet tulip]

If you're still looking I'll join you

[regal spoke]

New in the Mist

[upbeat crypt]

if you use the scythe, are you limited to just 1 farming proc per attack?

[merry pebble]

Nope, you can get multiple

[true cosmos]

not me excited to get home from my responsibilities to boot up this damn game again smh

gonna keep building my third shelter ☠️☠️

[trim nacelle]

It is a great game that can distract from many things lol

[agile temple]

ALRIGHT so me and my friend solved the bonemass problem

I built a skybridge up to the trees and we moved our portal up there for the time being

(We still have the stairs leading down but the first few are destroyed so the monsters can't come up)

Our problem now is finding a way to deal damage faster than the bonemass heals.

The strongest we have are frost arrows but they're annoying to grind for :/

[quiet tulip]

Blunt weapons are the best against bone mass

[agile temple]

Yeah but we're like 20m in the sky

[quiet tulip]

If you can forge frostner that kills him quickly

[agile temple]

We have accepted that we simply do not have enough skill to beat this boss the right way so we just gotta rain down hell

[agile temple]

No idea what that is sorry

[light moat]

Have you crafted poison resist mead?

[agile temple]

yes

we usually get bummed by the huge amount of enemies, also we barely do any damage to the boss even with the mace and it only has to hit us a couple times to kill us

and then we have to get more mead and lox meat and start over 😔

I'd rather just farm frost arrows once and get it over and done with

[quiet tulip]

Farm silver in the mountains so you can craft frostner and just whack him down

[light moat]

Have you considered dropping the difficulty from normal to easy?

[azure yacht]

And what do you need to find silver...?

[hybrid bridge]

farming a Wraith trophy is a giant pain in my ass

[quiet tulip]

Iron pickaxe and a wolf/lox cape and some luck. I just whack away at the mountains until I find a silver vein. Beating bonemass gives you the wishbone to detect silver but before that it's RNG

Plus hacking away at the mountains is fun

[regal spoke]

It's not even personal. Skill levels, gear check, and proper diet

[trim nacelle]

You need silver to make those capes

[hybrid bridge]

you can also use frost resistance mead, which is quite easy to make

[nocturne wolf]

If you want to cheese it, you can use a sledgehammer to find damage numbers underground

[quiet tulip]

I havent played in a long time but that's all I remember. Am looking to start up again brand new

[agile temple]

can't find turnips so we're really squishy

lox meat is by far our strongest food

[quick cradle]

if we put core wood in furnace will we get more coal ?

[quiet tulip]

I think it's always 1:1

[hybrid bridge]

food is easily one of the most important things to get in valheim, when you're going on tough adventures

[nocturne wolf]

No, all wood is the same. But pine trees drop more total wood

[azure yacht]

some luck

Optimism won't do anything to help you against RNG. And you are assuming a new player would or should attempt any of that

[quick cradle]

thanks

do we get those cores in troll cave?

[tacit crystal]

Furnace treats all wood equally, everything turns the same. 🫶

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

[agile temple]

yes but... no turnip

[quick cradle]

will dungeons reset after we raid them ? i mean those bruail chambers in black forest

[shy marlin]

Finding silver early in the mountains isn't really rng dependent, if you've played the game for long enough you can easily recognize where silver spawns in the mountains

If you think it's rng dependent that's just a major skill issue ngl

[tacit crystal]

Only yellow mushrooms grow back, but no enemies respawn.

Only exception of dungeon that respawns enemy mobs is ||Infested mine|| in ||Mistlands||.

[quiet tulip]

How many biomes are there now

[merry pebble]

8 and one placeholder

[shy marlin]

There's 7 completed and then there's the ocean which really isn't a biome imo

[quiet tulip]

Dang thats a lot

I stopped playing after the mountains

[tacit crystal]

But you get the "AAAAAAaaaa" when you go into ocean the first time so that counts.

[regal spoke]

Archipelago are where it's at

[shy marlin]

Ocean does have the best music

[tacit crystal]

Yes, silence.

[merry pebble]

Eh? It has its own track

[tacit crystal]

Unless sailing, then you get the epic music.

But when you are still there is no music.

🤓 👆

[quiet tulip]

Are there any brand new servers anyone hosting

[tacit crystal]

Sorry Asatru, had to.

[tacit crystal]

You could search from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

[wary oak]

it be like that

Guys how do u deal with bonemass?

weapon wise

[merry pebble]

Iron mace

[wary oak]

thats like the best weapon?

[regal spoke]

Sledgehammer do blunt as well and provide necessary AOE+knock back on groups

[wary oak]

I've never used it

[regal spoke]

This is where many get overwhelmed. Dealing with adds

[wary oak]

adds?

[regal spoke]

Enemy

[tacit crystal]

Mobs that he spawns.

[shy marlin]

Still wish moder summoned drakes ngl

[wary oak]

HE SPAWNS?

I already lose 1v1 fights to draugers wdym he spawns 🙏🏻 😭

[tacit crystal]

One of his attacks is spawning some mobs, but they are not too hard, just some of those you find regularly in swamps.

[wary oak]

I play on hardcore 😢

[tacit crystal]

Now that would be cool.

[wary oak]

ill try the fight to see what he's all about first

[regal spoke]

What if crystal attack could summon golem

[shy marlin]

Perhaps something very hard/hard should add

[tacit crystal]

Ah yeah, if we ever get similarly implemented world modifiers as one certain game you've mentioned.

[shy marlin]

Speaking of which i'm so excited for april 28th

unlucky have college finals the week after

[true tartan]

about to do what I personally consider an interesting thing

made a new character and a new world, in which I'm starting out with a cultivator, some vineberry seeds, and a Dead Raiser, but nothing else

gonna see how well necromancy can carry me

gonna bump combat difficulty up to very hard though, to make it a bit more of a challenge

[shy marlin]

are you bringing over eitr food or

[true tartan]

tbh I've never used the Dead Raiser before and only just now learned that it costs 100 Eitr to use at 0 skill

[trim nacelle]

I was trying to figure out what the vineberries would accomplish

[true tartan]

I guess I could spawn in a ton of stuffed mushrooms for myself - the health and stamina they provide is still meadows level

the mushrooms in combination with the vineberries will do the trick

[trim nacelle]

I mean, sure have fun with that, but I don’t know where your challenge would be if you are using devcommands. Maybe just use plant everything mod a farm the stuff maybe?

[true tartan]

the challenge is intended to be going through the game relying only on the summons to deal with hostile mobs

[open heath]

what's your plan for when the staff breaks?

[true tartan]

good question

[trim nacelle]

I get that part. I was referring to the Eitr requirements and as Josh just asked repairing. I don’t think any of us are trying to rain on your parade, just looking at the logistics of it all.

[true tartan]

i didn't think of that

[mortal raven]

can anyone trade bees with me :>

you give bees I give whatever items I have

[trim nacelle]

Only the knees

[mortal raven]

please please please

[open heath]

the base staff has 200 durability, the fully upgraded has 350 if you loaded that it'd last a bit longer

[true tartan]

yeah, i went ahead and made it fully upgraded

since that doesn't have any effect on the quality of the summons, afaik

hardest part here is going to be hunting deer via skeletons, i think

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Commands

[true tartan]

I think imma just hope the summoned skeletons do a good enough job that I don't need to summon them often

[plush umbra]

Defeated moder last night, ngl she was easiest boss brother and I fought so far, artisan table blast furnace spinning wheel and wind mill all acquired:)

[plush umbra]

Summons????

[tacit crystal]

Something to look forward to in later biomes.

[plush umbra]

Dang, about to tackle plains this week

Only thing needed from mountains now is silver for frostneir upgrade and a golem trophy for our wall

[true tartan]

Dead Raiser can summon tamed skeletons

[plush umbra]

It looked like a bag, is it used to craft a staff than?

[nocturne wolf]

Still waiting for summoned necks

[plush umbra]

Also guessing this is mistlands grade

[true tartan]

yeah, it's Mistlands tier

requires 100 Eitr and 25% of your current HP (not max HP) to summon a single skeleton that has an 80% chance of holding a bronze sword and a 20% chance of holding the basic bow

[plush umbra]

So a mistlands teir weapon that defeats BF teir mobs...

[true tartan]

the skeletons follow you around and their damage scales with your Blood Magic skill

they deal 3 times as much damage when the skill is maxed out

[plush umbra]

I see

[merry pebble]

Do not assume when you didnt try yet 😉

[true tartan]

you can have up to 4 of them if the Dead Raiser is fully upgraded

[true cosmos]

this is basically like viking sims for me lmao

[true tartan]

also, they undoubtedly have far more health than normal skeletons

[plush umbra]

Okok, seems interesting at least

[true tartan]

the only thing is that they can't be healed by any means that I'm aware of

gotta just summon a new one when the old one dies or just gets too low to be worth bringing with you

you only have to have the 100 Eitr at the moment you summon them, and you don't need any at all after that

so it's best to summon them before getting into any combat situation

[plush umbra]

Hm, well it seems cool, I could see it being useful when needing to escape a bad situation

[true tartan]

honestly, the most annoying thing about them is that you can't tell them to stay in a certain spot like you can with wolves

they follow you everywhere, no exceptions

[plush umbra]

Oh damn, even if they fighting they'll stop to follow u?

[true tartan]

in my experience, yes

[plush umbra]

Oh wow ok

[mortal raven]

oh yea sure man https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/784C-923B-A4A1-C825 at this point just refund your game ^^

[true tartan]

it makes it basically impossible to tame any other mobs with them present (no boar or wolf farms for me), and stealth is almost pointless to even attempt, but the ranged skeletts are actually decent at killing deer before they escape

[plush umbra]

Sheesh, by the sounds of it i doubt I'll be using that a lot this run lol

[true tartan]

it's decent enough imo, if you do a bit of stealth on the initial approac so that you don't spook the deer, the skelett archer can fairly reliably kill it

the taming issue is a real problem though

[tacit crystal]

He meant that you could use console commands to spawn more queen bees if you struggle finding them, so no need to trade with other people.

Another solution would be using https://valheim-map.world/ to look out of your seed and search solely for locations of bees.

[mortal raven]

well cmon

theres no fun in that

[plush umbra]

I like that 2nd solution, mc has same thing it can really help, especially if ur an older player with a much older world and new updates hit

[mortal raven]

its obvious i can use cmds and stuff

either way thanks for the reminder, not trying to be a jerk

[tacit crystal]

Valheim is different game compared to those MMORPG games where people trade with each other, Valheim is meant to be survival experience either solo or coop with close friends. So having any kind of trading system with other people would be pointless tbh.

[mortal raven]

well I like talking to people and I also get base tours

[tacit crystal]

Sure, there is nothing wrong with that.

[plush umbra]

Some ppl spend hours on their bases or full sessions and make some really cool ones

I like to think my brother and I base is one the good ones, spent a few sessions on just the base alone

[mortal raven]

so true. someone showed me their mistlands base they built in 2021 or 22 in the placeholder biome. looked really fun

[plush umbra]

Oh yeaaaaa

[mortal raven]

and I started playing after the Mistlands were added ^^

[plush umbra]

I'm on my 1st run thru

Just beat moder last night and got frostnier

[meager fossil]

I just discovered the hottub. It made me happy 😂

[mortal raven]

so real

hot tubs are so cozy

[meager fossil]

Its time to make another building in my base. The bath house!

[mortal raven]

my first one ever I plunked down in the mountains

[meager fossil]

I mean, what better place to have a nice place to warm up 😄

[mortal raven]

yup! looked really fun when snowstorms hit

reaaal cozy

[heady parcel]

Speaking of mountain bases. Has anyone seen Chiselchip's "Mountain Tavern" build?

[meager fossil]

Wait til deep north hits. No better time to for coziness

I do find it a bit funny. One thing Id LOVE for Valheim, is being able to get the merchants into my base. You know, as an optional thing. But people chant "we arent meant to stay in valheim" etc etc. Then we get things like a damn hottub

Arent we getting a bit COMFORTABLE for a place we arent meant to stay in? What about building taverns?! Why can we build that?!

I want Haldor in my base!

[merry pebble]

Make a base around his shop 🙂

[heady parcel]

Aye, go talk to him about it. I'm sure he feels perfectly fine where he is tho... 😄

[meager fossil]

That wouldnt work with the way I build my bases 😄 @heady parcel You have no idea how fantastic my base is!

[upbeat crypt]

I just came across a deer swimming through the ocean- and it was being chased by a leech

[heady parcel]

Haldor strikes me as the kind of dorf that prefers a campfire and the company of his smelly loxes to more comfy environs

[merry pebble]

Where are the days you had to lit the campfire for him xD

[meager fossil]

@heady parcel Eh maybe. But for a pure gameplay perspective, it would "make sense" to have a temporary partnership with him while you are in valheim. I mean, it can be thought up easily.

But Im 99% sure it will never happen

[heady parcel]

Nah, I don't think that kinda convenience is something that will ever be considered

[meager fossil]

For me its more about getting some life into our base. Immersion

[heady parcel]

Suicidal chickens do that for me! And I'm considering bringing the wolves inside, since they can't even defend themselves from a bunch of bats

[meager fossil]

Im definately getting wolves too 😄 But for me its not quite the same

It might have to do with my building philosophy. I generally build my bases in these games, in a way where Id be happy to live if I was in that world

Thats why cozyness and immersion is important to me

[heady parcel]

Hah I get that, but I'd never want a mumbling dorf hanging around camp. My brother causing disorder in the chests is quite enough for me 😄

[meager fossil]

But heres the charm! It can be optional!!

Still I think its an unpopular opinion, and would probably take a lot of dev time, thats needed elsewhere 😂

[true tartan]

something I would love to do at some point is make a base inside an occupied dwarf fortress

[merry pebble]

You certainly can do that 🙂 just be careful not to punch them

[true tartan]

want me some roommates who know how to fight

[meager fossil]

Hey an even better idea! Imagine if we could "recruit" those dwarves for protection?

Im full of wonderful ideas right now.

[true tartan]

hire some dwarves to just stand around your base in the meadows and shoot anything that shouldn't be there

[merry pebble]

Viking is responsible for his own protection 😄 he will be not hiring mercenaries 😄

[heady parcel]

Be careful what you wish for. The mages are pretty trigger happy and don't care much about collateral. I've seen a two star dorf mage completely annihilate the tower around him while consistently missing the Gjall he was trying to kill. Looked hilarious...

[meager fossil]

Hey Vikings worked in groups!! Ever heard of a 1 man shieldwall?!

[merry pebble]

With other vikings 😉

[meager fossil]

Dwarves is the next best thing 🤣

[true tartan]

so what you're saying is I need to lure out the fire mage and get him "accidentally" eaten by bugs?

[heady parcel]

I'd say that would, long term, be better for the base's structural integrity

[true tartan]

the only mage that needs to be in the base is the one that heals his buddies

2-3 support mages, and a handful of rogues

[meager fossil]

I hate mosquitos. Dying to them because Im fighting something else, makes me actually angry LOL

[true tartan]

wear the root chest armor

reduces pierce damage by half

[meager fossil]

Im full plains armor atm. I died because I was fighting like 10 plains enemies, with several star, in the rain with reduced stam regen 😂

[heady parcel]

One of my most nervous fights recently was after aggroing half a fuling camp (got reckless) and then aggroing a flock of lox AND three squitos while trying to kite the fulings around. Somehow survived (hail Bonemass!) but those squitos swooping in like opportunistic stuka bombers...GRRRR!

[true tartan]

the root chest is still arguably a better idea, given that both the bugs and the spear fulings do exclusively piercing damage

unless we're talking upgraded plains armor

[meager fossil]

Its almost fully upgraded 😄

[true tartan]

eh, the deathsquitos are still super annoying tho

i almost wish there was some kinda thorns effect you could get

where if an enemy damages you, a percentage is dealt back to them

[sharp bluff]

even then root probably wins as long its only chestplate vs chestplate...

[true tartan]

introduce the deathsquitos to the concept of karma

[heady parcel]

I've never worn the root chest. I craft it to complete the set - but then I end up wearing proper armor all the same. Don't like depending on a situational resist, and everything else hits harder as a consequence.

[true tartan]

yeah, losing out on like, maybe 10 total points of armor in exchange for reducing all damage from one extremely common damage type is pretty good

[sharp bluff]

especially since %damage reduction applis before the flat reduction of armour
its why bonemass is so damn overpowered
its not 50% damage reduction reality, its more like 70 or 80

[true tartan]

personally, when I go to the swamp, my first priority tends to be the root mask (less need for potions)

[sharp bluff]

agreed

[true tartan]

but the chestpiece is incredibly good after that

[merry pebble]

Tbh it could be balanced by just switching the order it is applied 🤔

[true tartan]

the root legs do literally nothing beyond finishing the set iirc

[sharp bluff]

the set bonus is powerful tho

[true tartan]

only if you're focused on archery

[sharp bluff]

yeah, but its only that particular set bonus thats this stupid
the rest works as intended

[true tartan]

if you prefer melee combat, the set bonus is kinda pointless

[merry pebble]

I meant more the bonemass power 😄

[sharp bluff]

solo it only has 25% uptime so its somewhat balanced relative to the fights you pick

[true tartan]

25% uptime is more than enough if you're even remotely careful about picking fights

the only time I can think where it wouldn't be enough is in dungeons

[sharp bluff]

it is, but you have to be quite careful when it is on cd

no more panic button xd

[true tartan]

if you think of it as a panic button then you've got other problems imo

[sharp bluff]

its better for a controlled fight, yes

[upbeat crypt]

is tar, as in the status effect, flammable?

[true tartan]

you mean, do tarred entities take more damage from fire?

[merry pebble]

Yes, when you are tarred you are very weak to fire dmg

[true tartan]

does that override the normal resistance rules?

[merry pebble]

If you have fire wine active you should still be resistant

[true tartan]

afaik the game normally only cares what your highest level of resistance is, regardless of any weakness

[meager fossil]

So a fuling shoving a torch up your backside is bad when bathing in a tar pit?

[merry pebble]

Yes

[true tartan]

unless you drank the fire resistance wine

[upbeat crypt]

does this also apply to fulings I drew through tar?

[merry pebble]

Not sure but i would think so, yes

[true tartan]

if the enemy does not already have a built in resistance, being tarred should make them weak to fire

but who knows if the player rules there always apply to enemies

the only one I know for sure that does is frost weakness from being wet

[merry pebble]

tbh i am not sure how it works with innate resistnaces

[near furnace]

you cannot combine resistances

[true tartan]

if only it were possible to lure an Ashlands enemy (or just a surtling, i guess) into a tar pit

[ashen geyser]

wait really? i did that 30min ago and thought i was being smart, damn. You mean frost +fire?

[true tartan]

what's meant is, you can't stack resistances to the same damage - the highest level of resistance is the only one that is accounted for

[near furnace]

I ment 2 small resistances of the same type

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, but i meant more like if enemy is naturally resistant to fire and you make him tarred which should make him very weak to fire what would happen, i assume the resistance takes precedence even if it is not active status effect right?

[near furnace]

to get a bigger

[ashen geyser]

oo so waht i said its possible?

[true tartan]

you can get resistances to multiple damage types at the same time, yes

[ashen geyser]

oki good to know

[true tartan]

the Yagluth power gives resistance to Fire, Frost, and Lightning, iirc

[lusty dirge]

With the one exception being the serpent scale shield, it's piece resistance stacks

[true tartan]

that's because blocking reduces damage before armor is accounted for

[near furnace]

yeah. just drink all meads to be omni-resistant 😄

[true tartan]

literally the only thing the Yagluth power gives that mead can't is the lightning resist

and lightning is the rarest damage type in the game, I'm pretty sure

[near furnace]

indeed

I can only think of 2 sources of lightning attacks vs player 🤔

[pallid dirge]

i always read proustite as prostitute

[near furnace]

Eikthyr and Yagluth

[true tartan]

in other words, don't even bother with the Yagluth power, and the Bonemass power is the GOAT

[near furnace]

Yagluth beam is 50% lightning

[merry pebble]

If you mean dealt by anything then i believe so yes, but if you mean dmg type that is dealt by enemies then spirit is rarer i think 🙂

[pallid dirge]

bonemass goes hard

[ashen geyser]

unless you're fighting mages

[true tartan]

okay, fair, spirit is a rare enough damage type just in general that I forgot it exists at all

[true tartan]

even against mages you're better off with a potion that wasting your time carrying the extremely situational Yagluth power

[pallid dirge]

eikthyr buff ftw

[merry pebble]

I mean weapons you can get deal it, and somewhat decent number of them, but i cant think of any enemy that does spirit 😄

[ashen geyser]

does the potion+yag power stack?

[true tartan]

no

[near furnace]

the same resistance never stack

[true tartan]

that was already stated not even five minutes ago

[near furnace]

😄

[true tartan]

okay, my bad, it was actually 6 minutes ago

[merry pebble]

With singular exception that is scale shield, and that is because blocking is calculated before armor is iirc 🙂 (which has also been stated before 😄 )

[pallid dirge]

guys im sad because i think my cat would really like valheim and shell never get to play it 😭

[analog pecan]

damn

[true tartan]

tell you what, I'll trade your cat the ability to play specifically Valheim in exchange for being allowed to sit around all day with no responsibilities or worries outside of food, water, and comfort

[meager fossil]

When did they introduce the extra yield from farming?

[merry pebble]

Bog witch iirc

[true tartan]

probably the update when Farming became a skill

[meager fossil]

Ah okay, so between my current and last playthrough

[true steppe]

One time Thor got me when I was sailing

[meager fossil]

Im loving that bonus yield. Fantastic QoL

[true steppe]

Was terrified

[true tartan]

...literally how

[true steppe]

Bro shows up raining bolts in the sky like fucking electric Santa Claus

Some of them bolts got me

I lived

[true tartan]

...I was under the impression those bolts never hit the ground

[meager fossil]

Wait we can get hit by lightning?

[true tartan]

so unless your boat was a mile in the air...

[true steppe]

They can hit my damn boat

[merry pebble]

No you cannot if it isnt from Obliterator, Eik or Yag

[true steppe]

I guess he was doing a low pass

[true tartan]

yeah, no, the literal only way Thor's lightning can hit you is with the Obliterator in your base

[meager fossil]

My guess is you sailed into a hidden groundspot when the lightning was showing

Sometimes you have 1 pixel of meadow in the middle of the ocean, tall enough to dmg your ship

[merry pebble]

It was most likely boat smashing into wave or high sea ground

[true steppe]

No this was lightning on my character multiple times

[meager fossil]

Can waves damage our ships though? I dont think Ive ever seen that

[true tartan]

...have you never sailed a Karve in a storm?

[merry pebble]

Yes, if you go at the right angle into them

[true tartan]

Karves get messed up bad by the waves during a storm

[meager fossil]

Plenty of times, I dont think Ive ever had it take damage from the waves

[merry pebble]

Or into high one in storm, yeah

[meager fossil]

Maybe I just didnt pay attention to it

[true tartan]

easy to miss the sound of the boards breaking when there's all the noise of the storm (and sometimes serpents)

[meager fossil]

Very true 😄

[true tartan]

personally, I tend to avoid the high seas with a Karve if I've got any choice in the matter

Chitin isn't worth it unless you just really want a harpoon

(but for moving tamed boars, I can understand that)

[meager fossil]

Same. With Karve I follow the shores. Also because Serpents are scary as heck at that time in the game

[merry pebble]

If you have finewood bow and flint arrows you are plenty prepared for them 😄

[nocturne wolf]

They’re balanced for black forest equipment, they’re basically swimming trolls

[meager fossil]

Knowing me, I go out into the sea with a half broken ship already 😄

Well, it seems I overestimated them haha

[merry pebble]

Yeah i always check that xD and more often than not i actually make the ship when i need to sail and then pack it up 😄 so i always have full hp ship

[meager fossil]

I do that too, but mainly if I have to bring it through a portal 🙂

[plush umbra]

we carry a forge on ship, and always repair with hammer before leaving

assuming u have iron ship or better and have the storage

[merry pebble]

All ships are placed and repaired using workbench...

[plush umbra]

u just need a hammer

[merry pebble]

And be in radius of a workbench...

[torpid yarrow]

i like how repairs are free

[plush umbra]

and on base u should be and u have wood if ur carrying a forge to make one

so whats ur issue
?

[merry pebble]

That you dont need the forge

[plush umbra]

until u do

repair tools while sailing

[merry pebble]

Yeah, tho the trade-off is that you need a lot of materials to make an item to begin with 🙂

[merry pebble]

Portal is much easier to take with you

[torpid yarrow]

carry both mats workbench mats are req for ship repairs

[plush umbra]

just keep a stack of wood for ur forge workbemch comes with it

[merry pebble]

Just carry 10 wood, 20 finewood, 2 surtling cores and 10 gd eyes. That way you can repair ship and go home whenever you need to 🙂

[plush umbra]

we make portal huts evreywhere we land if we ever wanan go back anyway soo no need??

[merry pebble]

In that case there is 0 reason to carry forge mats 🙂

[plush umbra]

yes there is cuz if ur exploring new area u can just set one down for time being for repairs smh

[merry pebble]

Until that isnt enough xD

[torpid yarrow]

i have 2 portals at base 1 named Home other empty i use home for resting and restock while empty one i input name of other portal i want to visit so Home is perm named other is a transport portal.

[plush umbra]

one day youll have dozens of them so

and i do mean dozens

[torpid yarrow]

i transitioned from portal hub to this

[merry pebble]

I usually have a portal hub with named portals an one unnamed "oh shit" portal that i explore with

[torpid yarrow]

really minimalistic and reduces amount of two way portals required

[plush umbra]

yeah but portals look cool

and when u have a castle u can have a wall of em

n even if u only have 1 home portal eventually youll have dozens around ur world

[torpid yarrow]

yea those portals have names and marked on map so i can imput them in empty portal to reach when required

[agile temple]

Ok so the fortnite skybridge worked and bonemass is dead

[merry pebble]

Makes sense, saves half the materials 🙂

[agile temple]

I made 200 frost arrows and we bullied it to death without resistance

[plush umbra]

my map has near a hundred markers now

[torpid yarrow]

so you went into mountains before beating bonemass?

[plush umbra]

found haldor and hildir 30 mins apart yesterday b4 beating down moder

[agile temple]

we had already long since done that

since frost res is so cheap, and drakes are so weak

not that it mattered cause a golem was fucking the drakes up for me

[plush umbra]

he asks cuz it goes meadows BF swamp than mountains

[agile temple]

where plains

[plush umbra]

after mountains

than its mist than ash than the deep north

[torpid yarrow]

if you get higher tier items you could bully bosses thats a given

[agile temple]

we could've used any other arrows since it couldn't damage us, but we tested frost and they were best

[plush umbra]

we bullied moder with just my brother and i, a max silver sword, 2 max drauger bows and 200 obsidian arrows

took 20 mins

easiest boss we fought in our opinion

oh and u cant forget the careless whisper playing in the headset the whole fight

[merry pebble]

Heh, taking ashlands weapons to Eik xD

[plush umbra]

There's a video that shows if u get a sneak attack on eikthyr with blackmetal knife max u can 1 shot it.

[torpid yarrow]

someone was suggesting getting that weapon you get by hunting hares

[plush umbra]

Ofc u can't sneak attack on a boss without going ghost but

[upper linden]

hello guys

Is there a beta version of Deep North that we can try out?

[merry pebble]

Nope ,and wont be for quite some time still

[upper linden]

I tried the beta version released on March 17, but I couldn't see anything related to the deep north in the game.

[merry pebble]

Oh you mean ||Krom||? Yeah it is awesome 😄

[upper linden]

Okey Thank U ^^

[upper linden]

Is there a release date yet? I can't wait to try it out.

[merry pebble]

No date or official estimate yet, but to quote devs "Deep north isn't comming anytime soon."
We can make our own guesses but they would be mostly meaningless 🙂

[merry pebble]

You can if you time it right 😉 but there is extremely short window for it right after you summon them.

[plush umbra]

Than there ya go blackmetal knife and u can 1 shot eik

[merry pebble]

Pretty sure you can with earlier knives too 🙂

[plush umbra]

Nah, guy in the video tested basically every weapon in game past plains/mist

He wanted to know what one was strongest

[merry pebble]

Then it was not backstab, those are indicated by making the same sound as hitting the enemy when he is staggered

[nocturne wolf]

It's a different sound

[plush umbra]

^

[merry pebble]

Oh, wait, yeah it is

[plush umbra]

Is 2 and half iron chests of gold coins good or am I failing at life

I feel as a viking I'm failing

[nocturne wolf]

Gold doesn't really matter but that is a LOT of it

[heady parcel]

There's not a whole lot to spend gold on in the end. One potential "gold sink" item traders could offer would be a "cornerstone" item, that could be used as a stone build piece but would act as solid ground for build integrity calculations. In effect making pinetree towers unnecessary. While I love my pinetree tower I eventually grew tired of seeing the tree poke out of the tower in windy weather - so I magicked in a rock where the treetop was and then cut it down. I built the tower right at first so I don't feel like I cheated at all. But holy high heck the amount of indoor space it freed up with the tree crown gone...

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message @plush umbra Because even with ghost mode enabled you still need to hit the timing, i couldnt be bothered so i simply choose enemy with close enough higher hp

[plush umbra]

Pine tree tower?

[heady parcel]

I built a very tall tower using a pine tree as support

[plush umbra]

Interesting

Also traders sell a lot of different seeds and not to mention eggs tho I ain't seen em yet.

[heady parcel]

Trees count as solid ground when building, so by having your support beams extend from the trunk, you can build MUCH higher than otherwise possible.

[plush umbra]

What about stone

[heady parcel]

Any terrain counts as full support.

[plush umbra]

Ok

[heady parcel]

When crafting bronze - does making the 5x stack give 5x the skill xp, or just one "tick"?

[light moat]

Just one, unfortunately

[heady parcel]

Dang it...

[true cosmos]

I found the location of the first boss yet I still can’t find enough boars to gimme those sweet leather scraps LMAO

[plush umbra]

just pick berries theyll show up

[heady parcel]

Pickaxes 92 heh

[vale eagle]

yall i got serpent shield 😁

[plush umbra]

Very nice and very useful

[slow leaf]

Wait the Ashwood bed gives less comfort than the dragon bed? Wtf

[shy marlin]

yup

Certainly a moment in game design of all time

[echo karma]

Posted in the servers-and-lfg I do apologize I'm just really wanting to get back in the game and haven't found a decent server in a few years. I am sorry for posting this here. Just miss playing with a great community.

[wooden tapir]

you will find one eventually! i believe

[echo karma]

Man I hope so, Valheim is so much better imo with a community. Actually makes me sad that the server I was on the server owner just stopped playing and everyone lost everything. I miss the adventure, I miss the community.

[hot herald]

I like the cookn powders, so I'm usually broke

[tepid prawn]

I'll have a look if I can find your post there, when did you post it

[plush umbra]

2 loxes acquired

Why did 1 goblin camp we fought had 1 berserker 2 mages and another we fought had 2 beserkers n 2 mages

Also 2nd one had way more fulings

Blackmetal sword acquired

[wooden tapir]

starred berserkers are fun (:

[plush umbra]

Lol

[marsh barn]

My friends and i just got to the mistlands, and the gjall are really giving us a headache. What would you all suggest to deal with them early on? Please feel free to ping me with any responses since im not actively checking discord atm 🙂

[slim remnant]

shoot the egg sacs on the bottom, thats its weak spot. the fireball spit is pretty easy to evade if you're not super close and the ticks are easy to kill, aoe weapons are good against them, or anything else really

[wooden tapir]

fire resistance meads

[plush umbra]

Lox saddle worth it?

Alrdy got lox tamed

[shy marlin]

eh not really riding is really meh

if you wanna try it out and experience go for it ig

[frail hazel]

I use it just to relocate them as needed, they tend to roam around a bit

[digital wave]

[ember panther]

is the pet rock still around?

[plush umbra]

Got both frostneir and porcupine maxed out, neither is better than the other depending who u fighting, also blackmetal sword almost max as well but does no spirit dmg is it still worth carrying my max silver sword or no

Also got max scale sheild and max drauger fang bow, is it time to retire silver sword ?

[plush umbra]

Also yea

[ember panther]

silver sword has some niche uses for the spirit damage, hold onto it but black metal sword will do more to things that don't take spirit

[plush umbra]

Should I still keep silver one on me or just keep at base

[ember panther]

depends where you're going, but i'd leave it on display for now

[plush umbra]

Fair

[tepid prawn]

Depends on who you fighting, always.

[plush umbra]

Plains mobs

[tepid prawn]

Yeah then leave it at home UNTIL you fight plains boss, use it for that

[plush umbra]

Okok

[tepid prawn]

Its BiS for that

[plush umbra]

Bis?

[tepid prawn]

Best in Slot, basically best weapon for this boss thta is available at that progression level

[plush umbra]

Okokok

We bullied tf out of moder ngl

1 silver sword 2 drauger bows all max ofc and 200 obsidian arrows

Took 20 mins to beat her

[tepid prawn]

Moder can be funny, she is sometimes flying a bit erratically and also depends how often she lands on how the fight goes

[plush umbra]

Yeah I've been told many things, we just made an earth pillar, a longer one we could run around while she flew, it was to ez

[tepid prawn]

yeah this game MASSIVELY rewards people who overprepare

[plush umbra]

Hahahaha that we did apparently

We both had a stack of stam and health meads, went thru maybe half em

Only needed 3 of my health meads

[tepid prawn]

Some people get all the way to plains before they even make a mead, they have a bit of a harder time sometimes haha

everyone plays differently, its great that the game allows it

[plush umbra]

Yeah we've been walking thru ts on our 1st actual play thru

Hi, I was thinking about picking up this game. Is it still well populated? And how fun is?

[fossil owl]

It's meh, better get a wife instead.

[vocal rivet]

Well populated? It's a solo game...

[plush umbra]

I have a wife this is for down time. Is there achievements? Can you find people to play with?

[azure yacht]

First doesn't matter.

You could judge that yourself

[azure yacht]

No

Yes

[vocal rivet]

What sort of weird answer is that?

[gleaming snow]

random question but where is fishing bait made after the bog witch update? ik it changed a lot with the cooking station

[vocal rivet]

The food prep table

[gleaming snow]

yooo thanks I didnt know that was a thing. I knew about the new mead pot but didnt realise there was a 2nd new crafting station too

just gotta get me some iron then I can start fishing for more than pike and perch

[robust token]

Good'day gjall

Any tips for building a base in Plains?

[tepid prawn]

Plains is very popular, I like to build with ocean access, and if you have another biome border nearby it can make things easier too. You can also build quite big because plains has lots of flat area, also great for having a farm there. Also in general you get better the more you build 🙂

[heady parcel]

One thing to think about is roaming lox, they can be quite destructive if angered by night skellies or other mobs, so a moat or something to keep them away from structures is recommended. Goes for invasions too of course, but I've found lox to be bigger problems in plains tbh, they're so big that they can sometimes get by obstacles other mobs can't, seemingly by simply shoving each other when killing other mobs..

[robust token]

The main reason for me to build there is because I've been considering a second base, and unhappy about my first one, although it has been upgraded nicely but slowly running out of space since I gained access to Mistlands and the stuff.

The Plains also have a HUGE Swamp nearby with countless (I haven't fully explore them) Crypts, and with sea access as I despread of getting a better dock for hunting Sea Serpents during thunderstorm.

[balmy seal]

Avoid being killed

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message @rigid copper because you just went through portal from mountains most likely, the particles stay for a few seconds after

[heady parcel]

Sounds good. There are as many ways to approach it as there are players really, so hard to give any advice other than to think of how you want it to look, plan layout ahead and do a bit of terraforming to secure it before you start building. Also - youtube has an absolute treasure trove of people posting time-skip build videos of awesome builds. I'm quite fond of "Chiselchip" myself, he has a nice aesthetic style while not ignoring practicality.

[rigid copper]

I walked through a portal to the mountains then it started to snow crossed a plains black forest mist lands and then reached a plains coast in that order then it finally stopped shortly after the screenshot

It was snowing for a solid 3 minutes, 2 and a half minutes I wasn't even in the mountains nor did I take a portal

[heady parcel]

Some inspiration: #building-tips message

[opal prairie]

Morgen Gjall.

[dreamy ore]

Planning to buy the game, is it still worth it?

[merry pebble]

Oh very much so

[twin raft]

yes

[tacit crystal]

Ask past me after 100ish hours: yes.
Ask current me after over 2,7k hours: YES.

[twin raft]

Honestly this game is a game that just gets better with time, Im pretty excited for 1.0 release gonna be lots of content

@dreamy ore For sure play with people if you can though, makes the game so much better

[dreamy ore]

Thank you everyone!

[plush umbra]

upgraded base hella thanks to tar today

made some ovens today too, tamed 1st lox couple, set up plains base thts almost done

[wary bane]

Tar looks so much better than thatch, but can be a bit more difficult to get the tar roof tiles to mesh in nicely and still look good

[plush umbra]

oh we nailed it lol

if iknew how to acess the ss i took on my pc id share but im new to ts and cant ever find em

[wary bane]

honestly. i dont even bother using screenshots, i just use the snipping tool

windows key+shift+s

[plush umbra]

ima have buddy walk me thru it this week so i can share our base n progress for 1st time playthru i think its impressive tbh, and ahh i see ill try that

YOOOO

thanks thats a gamechanger, next time brother and i on ill share our base

i cant get on w/out him so

[wary bane]

screenshots will either be in your steam folder (if you use f12) - you can access these via steam (showin folder) or will be in a dedicated "Screenshots" folder on your C drive if you use PrntScrn

[plush umbra]

ive looked both never seen em sadly

[near furnace]

F11 saves screenshots in the games folder also

[plush umbra]

ngl we will probly figth plains boss by friday

[wary bane]

Noice

[plush umbra]

ty

[plush umbra]

bullied moder last night

[wary bane]

I'm just gathering the unlock requirements for the Mistlands boss atm, need to find more dungeons hidden in the mist

So many cool new toys after Moder

[plush umbra]

r there plains dungeons??

[wary bane]

no

[plush umbra]

nicee

[wary bane]

Good luck fighting Plains boss, have you found the alter yet?

[plush umbra]

nope hahaha

[wary bane]

ahh good luck, that took me 3-4 days (irl) and was probably what took the longest for my Plains section of the game

[plush umbra]

we been killing goblin camps draining tar pits breading lox farming barley flax etc

building whole new base in plains to probly mainly storage but we will make it look good

farming/storage base

[wary bane]

Yeah i built my 2nd Big base when i got to plains

if you can find one that has a Mistlands border too it can be good

[plush umbra]

we will build next one in deep north when it comes

and we chose swamp border

[wary bane]

hey, you have ML and AL to worry about before DN

[plush umbra]

ik, but i also know i dont want bases there

[wary bane]

yeah i've been using the prebuilt structures in ML for little temporary refuges

[plush umbra]

we do lots of portal huts for travel

[wary bane]

No one tells you this when you buy the game but this game is actually an inventory/portal management game

my portal hub is so damn complicated now ahah

[plush umbra]

we can travel an island across the world on map n have n exi within a minute to 5 from us at all times

[plush umbra]

when u simplify it it complicates it

[wary bane]

aint that the truth

[plush umbra]

u can set map markers on each portal base with portal name and have 2 portals in base and 1 u jusst change to whatever portal names u want to go

[wary bane]

I still dont have the balls (or time) to play a nomap/noprtal game

[plush umbra]

yeah im g on that

[wary bane]

gets insanely complicated if using this method when playing with others

[plush umbra]

not if its just u and 1 other

then u can have 2 portals at each portal hut as well just incase as well

2 at home and 2 in evry portal hut

[wary bane]

i think my problem is that I use waaaay too many "temporary" portals. End up with a gazillion portals called xplore or xit or just x if i'm being chased by something

[plush umbra]

ah ye we make sure not to do that

n we lable anything we build or new or important place on map

[wary bane]

has to be said, this game rewards organisation and prep like no other

[merry lava]

@icy seal ajde k meni

[plush umbra]

lmaooooo, sum1 told me earlier game rewards those who go in over prepared after i said it took 20 mins to take down moder with 1 max silver sword 2 max drauger bows and 200 obsid arrows

[wary bane]

well they werent wrong, even better if you have a protected workbench nearby to repair your bow in case it breakws

[plush umbra]

wasnt evn close lol

thats 200 arrows between the 2 of u

us* including misses

[wary bane]

i think i was still using the huntsmen bow and iron mace when i took her down

[plush umbra]

wow

[merry lava]

any thoughts on asksvin armor

[plush umbra]

i used like 3 health meads and 5 stam meads

[wary bane]

solo though so she didnt have the extra hp from multiplayer

[plush umbra]

idk i not that far

[merry lava]

cool

[plush umbra]

wait thats a thing?? okok

[wary bane]

yeah its a % increase for each plaer (i forget the actual number)

[plush umbra]

okok

[near furnace]

+40%

[wary bane]

does it inc dmg output too?

[near furnace]

yes

[plush umbra]

wow

[near furnace]

damage and defence

[plush umbra]

double wow

[near furnace]

monsters don't gain "more" HP like they use to back before we re-did the system

(where you could abuse it and spawn a boss with 1 player, then the rest would join and the HP didn't go up to balance)

[wary bane]

its % based now?

[near furnace]

players in the area

[wary bane]

i see i see, nice

[near furnace]

it's suppose to give the players a challenge, so they don't steamroll the entire game just by being, more players

[plush umbra]

ngl with no mods on we kinda r

with just 2 of us

[wary bane]

honestly i find playing with more players a little more difficult than solo as you need so many more resources and end up being waaay more reckless

[plush umbra]

but u have more hands to get said rss

[near furnace]

yeah. hence we have the modifiers to counter that if you want to

[plush umbra]

or u can do multiple tasks at once

[plush umbra]

or this

[near furnace]

tho remember. 5 people mining 1 copper node takes minutes. compared to like 30-60 minutes if you're solo 😄

or more tasks completed per minute spent

[plush umbra]

u means seconds

[wary bane]

many hands, light work etc

[near furnace]

indeed

[tepid prawn]

its easier and also harder with 2 players or more, depending on what you do. If you die and run out of extra gear, and have a friend, they can help you in their armour and by not being naked and afraid, but yeah you need to feed and gear 2 or more players then etc

[wary bane]

I will say, the harpoon in multiplayer is amazing...

[plush umbra]

more players means u work as a team to acomplish goals, if ppl get greedy or lazy and work and chores not being done even 1 person not pulling they weight can doom u all

[tepid prawn]

I personally am mostly finished with solo now though, played a lot solo and now I just prefer having others around, thats why I run servers

[plush umbra]

this is survival 101

just dont play with jackoffs

[wary bane]

thats kinda the golden rule to any game

[plush umbra]

if me or my brothr dies in a bad spot theyre escorted back to their body

thers no oops u lost ur stuff heres old gear
