[tepid prawn]

how its meant to be

[wary bane]

game does feel more epic with others no doubt, that feeling of landing on an unexplored hostile new landmass for the first time with a longboat full of filthy vikings is awesome

[plush umbra]

its even better when ur all experiencing it for 1st time at same time

[wary bane]

well i wish you both well in your adventures and in your quest to locate and conquer the plains boss

[plush umbra]

tytyty

[lunar sapphire]

If your portal system when documented doesn't look like an expansive family tree are you even exploring

[plush umbra]

hahahaha

rn we have a wall for most but we still got our 2 universals

[near furnace]

no portal, no map run 😉

[lunar sapphire]

If your world doesn't have mob trophies guiding the way are you even exploring?

[heady parcel]

Biggest (almost the only, but it IS a biggie) drawback with playing with several others is the same as with tabletop roleplaying - you will struggle if not everyone are on the same schedule. I've had an amazing time when playing with a bunch of others, but it fizzled out every time because there was always one or two who couldn't join because life/work/significant-other/kids/whatever got in the way. That's just how it is - real life kinda has to go first - but it means solo worlds is the reliable backup that ends up being what I play 9 times out of 10.

[tepid prawn]

I'll make it work, trying to mostly find people who play all mostly in the same timezone and work together with catching up in a slow speed, a boss every 2 weeks, works well so far.

[heady parcel]

Yeah when it works it is great. Valheim is that rare gem of a game that I enjoy equally much solo or with friends.

[tepid prawn]

RL goes first yes, but with some compromises you can make it work really well.

[near furnace]

depends on what rules the people setup for themselves 🤔

dedicated worlds helps most, but then you need to make sure everyone is on the same page and no one out-paces 😄

[tepid prawn]

oh the rules, mine are always adapting for my servers, its not easy, its doable but its work

Yeah mine are 2 dedicated servers, and we have rules that are mostly forged to make it as fun as possible and have people not "run away" with the progression too much, somewhat is allowed but it needs to be reigned in a bit too

especially what bosses and dungeons people can do

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I host a dedicated server for myself, my brother and a few others. The others are on such different schedules that we've barely seen them in months, so we stay mostly to ourselves

[tepid prawn]

we have anything from 1-10 players on, busy times its often 6-8, but its often more than 2 so that makes me happy

[heady parcel]

One guy is just barely out of the stone age while the rest of us are dancing around the Misty queen. He's been bonked by nightspawned fulings a bezillion times, but he's happy anyways building away on his base...

[tepid prawn]

I get around that a bit by having a build server and a progression server, but yeah some people like to play at different speeds

[heady parcel]

At least I could put it on personal raid settings so he doesn't get the tougher raids...

[near furnace]

try it

[heady parcel]

Personal raids? Yeah we did, good modifier that.

Hehe he built his base on an island in the inlet to a big inland "lake" - so big that there is a bit of ocean in the middle. So now he has a storm-spawned serpent terrorising him as well, sunk his raft and killed him twice. I've offered to come hunt it down for him but he wants to take vengeance on his own 🙂

[meager fossil]

Clearing a tar pit in the night with fog is probably the worst experience Ive had yet in Valheim

[heady parcel]

Ugh, there's a time and place for everything. Sounds like you could have waited with that tar...

[meager fossil]

No!! That tar was mine!

[heady parcel]

Fair enough

I guess the growths objected. And then the roaming bands of night-spawned fulings 😄

[meager fossil]

Best part is I dont even have a plan with the tar, it will most likely just sit somewhere 🤣

[heady parcel]

Yeah I tend to collect way more of it than I really need

[meager fossil]

But hey better to have it and not need it; than not have it, and need it

[heady parcel]

Truth!

[plush umbra]

I love the woods u can make with it

[meager fossil]

Yeah its gorgeous. Ill most likely try to use it somehow in my buildings 😄

[plush umbra]

Yeah we just updated the castle a bit earlier

[devout basin]

Someone down to play??

i dont have a ready-to-play world btw so either we can start a new world or there could be an all ready one

[coarse ether]

yo gewazuzi ill play with u

only got past teh first boss tho @devout basin

[pulsar bolt]

will the game exit early access with the deep north update?

[heady parcel]

Yes

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, deep north is coming with 1.0

[pulsar bolt]

Is there any release date or estimations?

[nocturne wolf]

The developers haven't said anything, but it is unlikely to release this year

[pulsar bolt]

So most likely 2026 then

[near furnace]

yes

[lusty crescent]

Lol

[tribal trench]

Just when you think your mistlands base is spawn proof.... Here comes a damn Gjall with stars in his eyes >.>

These things spawn no matter what I swear

[misty sun]

Hit Box.. Hero~

[regal spoke]

If your grid has any kind of gaps spawns will occur. Double check your anti spawn has overlap and extend the perimeter to compensate for noise trigger (the noise you make). I can stand for days afk on my mist island with no spawns or raids.

[void dagger]

I want a update 😦

[merry pebble]

We had one 7 days ago 😄

[regal spoke]

Well I had a nice weekend but I'm back at work now. That's my update so far. Have a good day.

[void dagger]

I mean like a good big ol one

[void dagger]

Good for u.

[merry pebble]

Update is an update 😄

[regal spoke]

No u

[meager fossil]

Is the crystal battleaxe any good? Deciding on a weapon to use against Yagluth that I havent used before

[shy marlin]

It's a good wood chopper

But sadly battleaxes in combat are pretty mediocre

[meager fossil]

Thats a shame. I was quite interested in trying battleaxe next

[shy marlin]

If you wanna try it out try it out

[meager fossil]

I just watched a video of it, and it looks bad

[nocturne wolf]

It’s not bad but there are better options available

[meager fossil]

how does it compare to Atgeir?

[shy marlin]

uh thats like comparing apples to oranges

but atgeir is better if you really want an answer

[quick cradle]

uh anyone wants to play

[meager fossil]

Does the secondary on the battleaxe stun as effectively as Atgeirs secondary?

If so, then I would think battleaxe could be fine

[shy marlin]

nah it's not as good as the atgeirs secondary

atgeir is a full 360 and has 6x stagger while the battle axe secondary is a poke and i think it's either 3x or 4x stagger

[meager fossil]

Seems like wasted potential

Its a battleaxe. Should be high risk high reward.

[shy marlin]

Well its super close to being a good option

Moving it down to -10% movement speed, making the first attack in the chain be faster and it's a solid weapon

[meager fossil]

What would you say battleaxe needs, to be an easier choice over something else?

Ah

[shy marlin]

Like I think it takes a full second a half for the first hit to go off on the battleaxe

[plush umbra]

sjield and sword or one handed blunt better

[shy marlin]

Which is just crazy slow

[plush umbra]

or atgier all the way

[meager fossil]

Thats what I always use. I want to try something new. So right now Im using Atgeir. But Yagluth is resistant to pierce

I wonder if theres a chance the devs will buff the Battleaxe.

[plush umbra]

if u want something new get mods

[meager fossil]

Why? Theres plenty of weapons I havent used in Vanilla yet

[plush umbra]

oh just grind then u will find new

[quick cradle]

does slimy black things that drop tar . there spawner is infinte ? like as long as we are there they will spawn ?

[nocturne wolf]

They respawn after some time but it’s a very slow way to obtain tar, exploring for new tar pits is much better.

[quick cradle]

yea i just found a slimy lake is it that ?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, you can use a pickaxe to drain the liquid tar and collect the tar items.

[quick cradle]

also how you chop down the trees in swamp

[nocturne wolf]

The larger trees aren’t breakable but for the smaller ones you need a bronze axe or better

[quick cradle]

cuz there are some green stuff on top of it

[nocturne wolf]

Build a ladder to get up, and break those with an axe or pickaxe

[quick cradle]

dang

thanks tho ❤️

[compact barn]

hey, im trying to setup some mods on my private server, using thunderstore modmanager, and / or manual but i cannot get it to work. anyone have experience with thunderstore or know if htey have a support discord?

[lunar sapphire]

Just a reminder to keep modded-valheim discussion in the appropriate #mods-discussion / #mods-issues channel please.

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe secondary has 6x 4x stagger multiplier, but deals half damage and is fast.
Primary hits have 1,5x stagger multiplier.

Just to clarify, as one battleaxe enjoyer.

[terse raft]

my friend found the special rock, i thought it was fake

[celest acorn]

Urm, achtuly, his name is rocky ☝️🤓

[shy marlin]

Wiki says 4x

Last time I tested was in mistlands update and it was most def 4x back then

[tacit crystal]

Oh, I was confidently wrong this time. Hadn't checked it from wiki for a long time.

[nocturne wolf]

4x on both battleaxes, I just checked in-game now

[wintry valve]

for yagluth, I used swords and bows, with frozen arrows

[light moat]

Battleaxes are really fun weapons to use

[meager fossil]

Im not sure why battleaxe has x4 instead of x6. In what department does it require that to balance it out?

Does it do more damage per hit than Atgeir?

[light moat]

I would guess because it’s a really fast attack, maybe?

[meager fossil]

Sure but Atgeir is a huge aoe. Wouldnt that warrent more balance than it just being fast?

Maybe Im being too hard on it 😅

[azure yacht]

Many enemies resist pierce

Almost none resist slash

[odd crest]

Man, I did not expect my magic to be so weak in the Ashlands, that kinda sucks

I thought ice would do much more dmg against the enemies there everything considered

[azure yacht]

They can already be slowed by it. That alone is op even if they're not weak

And it is a good thing that most are not weak to frost, otherwise it'd be somewhat pointless to use any of the other weapons when frost staff (weapon from one biome earlier) and frostner (weapon from THREE biomes earlier) would destroy everything

[ember panther]

I wish the crossbow had a secondary stagger hit like the dberger rogues

[regal spoke]

Imagine frost being optimal in the Ashland's. I would expect it to fall off in deep north. But I expect it to be good in the fire biome.

[meager fossil]

Whew! Finally got a stone golem trophy!

[wise storm]

should i get this game if none of my friends play it?

[earnest iris]

yeah, i play it alone all the time

[light moat]

If you’re into survival games, it’s a really good game

[pliant hatch]

If you like this kind of games, sure, why not?

Perhaps you're able to show your friends what they miss and they might get it eventually too.

[odd crest]

It's a lot of work by yourself

[viscid agate]

Yes play it, but if I will say playing with friends is a huge game changer

[muted osprey]

some bosses will be harder but it's perfectly doable

hell I think some are actually easier because they always target you and you won't be clipped by attacks aimed at others

[vocal rivet]

It's much better solo.

[merry pebble]

That is very subjective 🙂 some may prefer playing with others and some playing alone.

[viscid agate]

Hard disagree, I think any game is better with friends

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.

It's pretty annyoing to play Free Cell with friends.

[little shore]

I have never played this game with dedicated people in this game since release

[ember panther]

Depends who you play with. Ideally I'd like to play with people who just make their own stuff and keep their own chests cause I keep my stuff in chaotically ordered disorder

But doing bosses n exploring things with friends is much better

[unique helm]

I wish mining the ground in this game wasnt so rage inducing. I want smooth walls.

[merry pebble]

If you stick to the four world directions you can 🙂

[unique helm]

Or just make the system you implement throughly fleshed out instead of half baked.

[merry pebble]

Oh my, i feel the discussion coming... Sure sure, if you feel that way...

[nocturne wolf]

The system isn’t half baked if you use it how you are intended to. If you’re making a wall, use build pieces.

[unique helm]

Sure, let me just run from spawn into the swamp and grab the iron I need for a stoneworker and start building witht sttone

[merry pebble]

Why would you need that for walls?

[unique helm]

To make smoth stone walls?

[merry pebble]

If you want smooth stone walls you will have to wait quite a bit longer than swamps xD

[unique helm]

Im using wood walls, but to make the walls smooth enough that they dont poke through I either have to shrink the dimension of my basement by 4 meters or accept giant gaps around the base of my house.

[merry pebble]

Go the other way, instead of making the basement smaller make the above-ground building bigger 🙂

[unique helm]

Same effect eitther way

[merry pebble]

What?

How?

[unique helm]

Either I make the above ground bigger than I want or make the below ground smaller than I want.

Eithter way I should have a method to smooth out the walls without the RNG of jagged walls.

[merry pebble]

There is literally no rng to that 😄

It is a grid system

[unique helm]

So the only acceptable orientation is cardinal?

[merry pebble]

If you want smooth walls, pretty much, tho i think you can somehow get it even on 2 of the diagonals 🤔

[unique helm]

Then thats a dumb system

[carmine finch]

Is it just me, or has there been a change made to how closely you build chests together? I could swear there used be some overlap available when building chests and now it appears to be gone?

[merry pebble]

There should still be the overlap 🤔

[vocal rivet]

In what way?

[carmine finch]

I can build two chests touching, but not with any degree of actual overlap between the two. Building end to end I swear I used to be able to overlap the "legs" so that the two lids touched each other.

[unique helm]

Creating a mechanic in a game where you can dig, but make it so you cant make smooth walls unless you are perfectly aligned with the word grid in cardinal directitonss.

[vocal rivet]

Makes life simpler, no?

[unique helm]

For lazy devs maybe

[merry pebble]

Just tested, you can overlap normal chests by about one fifth, reinforced by about one sixth or seventh and blackmetal ones just until the top most part is touching the other blackmetal chest (tho i am testing them that they are pararel to each other, touching on the long side)

[merry pebble]

Make a better system and make it compatible with valheim 😄 maybe they will use it

[carmine finch]

I'm talking about the short edge. I swear you used to be able to overlap the legs and have the tops touching in that orientation and it seems to changed in either 0.220.4 or 0.220.5 and I don't see any documentation about changes in the patch notes

[merry pebble]

🤔 not sure, i usually stack them touching the long way, since that is the most space efficient way

[carmine finch]

I like to build them into my floor so being able to stack build them touching both ways to cover a portion of my floor is actually very nice.

0.220.3 has some patches about collision fixes, wonder if chests got messed with as well and got missed in the notes.

[azure yacht]

It... already is....

As I said

[carmine finch]

the staff of the wilds is my favorite staff. The vines can do the stun effect and beat anything that comes in range. The only mob I have issues with are archers since they don't like to move around much. I just toss embers at them.

[meager fossil]

I tried magic in my last playthrough. I wasnt skilled enough to avoid getting hit, so I died too easily. Other than that, magic feels very nice

[ember panther]

Just use bubble

[meager fossil]

Oh? I wasnt aware of that. I might try magic again eventually 😄

[ember panther]

Blood staff is OP. I always use it, even if I'm not going full mage build

[merry pebble]

The bubble shield acts as temporary HP basically 🙂 it absorbs a certain amount of dmg and it is guaranteed to block at least one attack no matter how strong

[ember panther]

Putting bubble on a tamed lox is funny. It's so big

[meager fossil]

Thanks for the tip 😁

[nocturne wolf]

Some bosses have even bigger shields if a fuling shaman protects them 🫧

[regal spoke]

Being dedicated bubble boi is hard on the health pool

[nocturne wolf]

The health pool that you don’t need with a staff of protection?

[ember panther]

When I'm exploring earlier biomes I just play bubble boy and have my crew of skellets do the work

[upbeat crypt]

is there another bow in Mistlands?

[ember panther]

Yes, but imo, dragr bow is better

[merry pebble]

Why? 🤔

[ember panther]

Poison works against more mobs and has less draw stamina per second

[merry pebble]

True, but the total dmg Is better at level 2 for spinesnap (not counting spirit for this since you are correct it doesent affect many mobs). The point for stamina is valid but the spirit can be overlooked only until you get to ashlands since almost everything there takes it 🙂 At that point spinesnap is just as good as ashfang basically but that has the gem variants

[ember panther]

Yeah it's good in ashlands, I actually used it there. But while I was on mistlands I really missed the poison dot when taking down gjalls

[merry pebble]

After you upgrade to lvl 2 with spinesnap the only benefit is the stamina really 🙂

[ember panther]

I'm more of a xbow enjoyer now

Hitting a troll in the face for 1k damage is too good

[merry pebble]

I must agree 😄 tho i am not really big fan of the crossbows

[meager fossil]

Oh my god, the crystal battleaxe is SLOW

That CANT be anywhere near in dps from 1 handed silver weapons

[merry pebble]

Battleaxes are incredibly cool, but their usefulness as weapons is somewhat lacking sadly

[meager fossil]

What a wasted opportunity.. I hope they buff them at one point

SMIFFE! Buff them!!

You're a dev, so naturally you work on every department and can do everything

[azure yacht]

no

[merry pebble]

And fix the broken terrain since that one guy complained about it!!! Plus complete the deep north!!! Its taking sooooooooo loooooong already why are you not hiring new 50 devs?!
-# ||Joking obviously xD||

[meager fossil]

Also WHERE is valheim 2????

SMIFFE!!!

[vocal rivet]

You say obviously, I do worry about others.

[merry pebble]

We are just joking here 😄 i think its pretty clear but i always add something like this just to be safe

[azure yacht]

If I hadn't seen you here for a long time I would think you're new considering that seemingly excess of optimism on human intelligence...

[merry pebble]

Meh, i try to stay at least a little bit positive. Someone has to in current day and age 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Positive? In this server??? ||||

[merry pebble]

Weird i know xD

[exotic cradle]

the only negative people are in suggestion discussion everywhere else is chill

[merry pebble]

Heh, i dont go there too often on purpose 😄

[ember panther]

I hope deep north brings back the battle axe. A two sided one would be sweet

[dull copper]

does anyone know an hd mod for the latest version of valheim?

[regal spoke]

What? It takes from your health though

[ember panther]

Check mods section

[plush umbra]

purpose of hot tub??

[tacit crystal]

Also a new after mountain and before DN would be great.

[dull copper]

are you reffering to #mods-discussion ?

[ember panther]

+2 comfort when it's heated

[plush umbra]

gotcha lol

rn most our castle is between comfort 8-11

[ember panther]

You could definitely get that higher. Armor stands, rugs, thrones and fancy bed all provide extra comfort

[plush umbra]

oh we got al that..

even chairs stools n sitting logs

tables 4 dif kind of rugs

on my personal world my comfort is 13 for a 20 min rest buff, i think its cuz stuff is closer together on that base maybe

[meager fossil]

Hey better positive than pessimistic and jaded 👍 Its a pretty miserable existance. Also changes people.

And honestly its refreshing to see people have fun in here 🙂

[little shore]

I love building roads and bridges across big islands to different bioms, then having villages and camps along the road

[upbeat crypt]

You can tell this is a video game question without any context

[plush umbra]

lmfaooooooooo

[true cosmos]

silly question but I don’t know that much about the game yet…are there eventually modes of transport 👀

like horse drawn carts or something

[little shore]

Just boats and lox's

[mental wren]

Ye, you're gonna have to pull your cart by yourself sadly...

[merry pebble]

Boats and 2 types of mounts 🙂

[true cosmos]

slay

[vocal rivet]

And another.

[nocturne wolf]

It takes a percentage of your current health so it can’t kill you

[meager fossil]

Carts are great, but hills or even the slightest of slope can render them useless 😄

[vocal rivet]

Not true, just take a pickaxe / hoe with you and you can make paths quite easily.

[ember panther]

Trebuchet?

[vocal rivet]

Huh? No.

[wooden tapir]

askvin

[vocal rivet]

See, I avoided saying it, in case they hadn't encountered it yet.

[wooden tapir]

well even if they havent seen it yet, they wont know what it is

[ember panther]

And I said trebuchet to avoid the other other option

[meager fossil]

The stone golem Trophy is gorgeous. Surprisingly big too. Not at all what I had expected

Where the hell is that giant crystal located on their body?!

[ember panther]

Although rat mead with fenris and high run stat makes you go pretty darn fast

[little shore]

Taking your clothes off makes you run faster too

[merry pebble]

Depends which clothes 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Well, depends on if your armour actually applied any kind of movement debuff.

[little shore]

That👆

[merry pebble]

Add Asksvin cape too 😄

[meager fossil]

Wow I just discovered the scythe... thats top tier QoL

[plush umbra]

Can u still beat yagluth by digging a whole with wooden floor on top have him crawl over it and wack him from below

[regal spoke]

Yea I finally took the time to look it up. 40% of current health

Plus the eitr cost

[ember panther]

The pacifist route? I think that's a strat for beating enemies with fire

[plush umbra]

Oh u can do that too, he will take dmg from bonefires and u just keep adding wood lol

[meager fossil]

😂

[plush umbra]

Just takes longer tho cuz he's kinda a fire mob

[meager fossil]

You dont want to finish the job too quickly. Rejoice in the slow agony of your enemy

SAVOUR the moment

[plush umbra]

Tbh i just don't wanna fight him above ground 🤣🤣

But if i can do 1 them 2 things still than that's what happening

Can damn near skip the entire plains biome once u get the max gear and do that

[meager fossil]

Im tempted to try the bonfire thing. Just because it sounds funny

[plush umbra]

Ofc u still need a farm base there but other than that

[plush umbra]

Lmfaoooo yeah

[merry pebble]

For maximum enjoyment use crude bow and wood arrows 😄

[plush umbra]

If u do check out the 7 ways to kill yagluth video on yt you'll see both i spoke of

Plus u gotta do it right or it no work

[meager fossil]

I sent you a video. Watch it if you feel like it. Its a reference to that character 😄

[meager fossil]

Alright, ill check it out. Thanks for the tip!

[plush umbra]

Ofc

[ember panther]

I fought yagluth with eikthyr, fenris armor and claws. Just ran around him and hit him when I could. The fire resist and movespeed from fenris was very helpful but I'm sure there are better ways. I just really wanted to punch him

[plush umbra]

Lmao

[meager fossil]

I love claw weapons. Im tempted to try them

Are there mistlands and/or ashlands variants?

[ember panther]

They're fun. If you like knives. No movespeed restrictions

[shy marlin]

Nope

[meager fossil]

Ah darn

[shy marlin]

Cause irongate thinks it’s cool to introduce a new weapon and then abandon it 😎

#gamedesign

[plush umbra]

I need the next varient of ancient bark spear

[nocturne wolf]

Flesh rippers backstab secondary is the highest possible stagger in one hit so it can do something better than any of the later weapons

[meager fossil]

#1202313396356128808weaponabandonmentscandal2025

I want the next weapon to be a cup of boiling tar that you can throw in the enemys face

[merry pebble]

Fang spear, mountains, go.

[plush umbra]

No way that things better

Definitely looks worse

[livid zenith]

It does more damage

[plush umbra]

Lameee

[merry pebble]

No that is just how progression works

[plush umbra]

Ancient bark spear is now displayed on my wall

[vocal rivet]

Please tell me your server boost is new and I haven't just been missing it for days?

[merry pebble]

It is new 😄

[vocal rivet]

Phew.

[tacit crystal]

You know wolf tooth is stronger than literal iron right?

[plush umbra]

Its new, I didn't wanna boost it before deciding if I was sticking around but I really have fallen in love with the game so

[plush umbra]

That i didn't actually

[tacit crystal]

I was bit joking since I think ancient bark spear looks much cooler but fang spear indeed is better in damage (mountain tier).

[plush umbra]

It looks way cooler

[tacit crystal]

I agree with that.

[plush umbra]

Yo i just watched a video about all the updates games had up to now and a look into deep north, and I personally think they gonna bring yetis into the game

[tacit crystal]

We don't know that for sure, they have stated they want to add some more unique enemies than some what we would think of.

[plush umbra]

Well frozen graydwarfs not gon cut it

[nocturne wolf]

We still haven't seen how seals react to being attacked

[plush umbra]

Hahahaa

[tacit crystal]

Low key end up being the most dangerous mobs lol.

[merry pebble]

||-# they are the real bosses of the Deep Noth xD||

[plush umbra]

Is this for sure final biome?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[ember panther]

What if those are just baby seals? We haven't seen the mother

[plush umbra]

Than boss is loki

[merry pebble]

Very unlikely

[plush umbra]

Or thors sister i forget her name

Or a yeti style monster

Seals will prolly make good stam foods

[regal spoke]

Wouldn't it be more cannon for final boss to be another forsaken

[vocal rivet]

It's not going to be any of the Norse pantheon, including Odin.

It'll be canon for it to be exactly the same as every other biome in the game, yes.

[plush umbra]

A forseaken yeti

[nocturne wolf]

An angry rocky

[plush umbra]

That'd be a big rocky

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn't have to be big

[plush umbra]

They said this is gonna be the biggest boss or some like that

[ember panther]

A live Jotun

[plush umbra]

So that'd be a huge rocky and I'm all for it

[meager fossil]

Spirit of Ymir

[merry pebble]

Afaik Thor doesent have a sister

[vocal rivet]

He doesn't, no.

[shy marlin]

plz no

[merry pebble]

If you dont mean in that crapshow of norse mythology marvel came up with

[shy marlin]

I don't wanna kill rocky

[merry lava]

i crafted nidhogg,should i upgrade it to lvl 3 first then make elemental version out of it or

[merry pebble]

If you upgrade it with gems it will always go back to lvl1

[vocal rivet]

It's an adaptation of the mythology, same as Valheim is.

[nocturne wolf]

Like you haven’t suggested worse

#valheim-chat message

[merry lava]

can i somehow level up elemental version

[merry pebble]

However one of them is keeping quite a bit closer to the original 😄

[shy marlin]

CAUGHT

[merry pebble]

Yep

[merry lava]

noice

[ember panther]

Wait isn't there some lore about the stones and in the ashlands about some boy found in the snow?

[shy marlin]

yea there's also a dream about it

[nocturne wolf]

I hope that isn't the boss because if it is they've made it too obvious

[merry pebble]

And i think there is at least 2 runestones mentioning him

[merry pebble]

I do hope there will be a bit more lore about him, but it doesent have to be a boss

[ember panther]

Whats wrong with that? I like foreshadowing. I hope it leads to SOMETHING

[merry pebble]

Hence why i hope in more lore 😄

[azure yacht]

There's a lore gap between plains and ashlands. All lore about mistlands is about mistlands while ashlands adds more story with previous bosses, like fader's relation with yagluth and moder

Seems like mistlands is its own thing

[tepid prawn]

The boss will be a Voltron formed from the body of a 1000 🦭

[regal spoke]

Never forget Voltron

[ember kraken]

When you said Voltron, I imagined one built out of all the previous bosses.

[bitter sedge]

Hi all. iv spent 4hours looking for the rock...any suggestions to find it

[merry pebble]

Beyond 1000m from spawn, look around meadows and black forest, make sure you were previously never near the area you are exploring

[tepid prawn]

Yes, its rare. Keep looking, be patient 🙂 (Rock is found at an elevation of I think its 5-20m above sea, in Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp and Mountain, but the last 2 you'll struggle to find those elevations a lot, so look Meadows and Black Forest. Also the area needs to be unexplored, not just black on your map but also reasonably far from anything explored because it generates terrain in the black area a little bit as well. You also need to be 1000m away from spawn, Haldor starts spawning from 1500m out. Hope this helps

[bitter sedge]

Thanks guys.

[regal spoke]

I found both of mine around the 20m mark but closer to water. I did look along mountain bf borders.

[ember panther]

Does the rock look different or have a different text or color? Or is it just a chance when pulling up stones

[tepid prawn]

Looks a bit different

[merry pebble]

Yes, bigger, smoother, says "Rock" not "Stone", lighter collor

[regal spoke]

Rock a white vs stone

In the sun it truly stands out.

[ember panther]

Oo okay that helps a bit. And does anyone know if it's a permanent addition or just a temp event like the Christmas tree?

[tepid prawn]

I'd speculate it might be permanent, its still in the game now but no one has confirmed it afaik? I might be wrong on that, but you can still get it now

It'll probably stay

[nocturne wolf]

It isn't currently tied to any seasons so the plan for now would be to keep it permanently.

[ember panther]

Hopefully. I don't wanna stress out looking for it in unexplored black forests quite yet...

[nocturne wolf]

But that could change if the developers want it to, of course

[ember panther]

I must've picked up like 1000 stones already

[tepid prawn]

I "cheated", I just took my character that I was currently playing, made a brand new map just to look for it, only went to Meadows, was successful eventually.

So I didn't have the problem of going to explored meadows

[ember panther]

Why didn't I think of that 😐

[heady parcel]

Gods below. I decided to prolong my procratrination from assaulting the queen by building a road from my coastal base to my tower. It is quite a distance, crosses two rivers, one of which flows through a steep gorge deeper than your average pine tree. Dumbest building project I have put myself on so far, but gosh it is fun. Except for getting raids while building - ¤#&¤#& off you sorry bunch, I don't have time for you!

[plush umbra]

Just found thst there's a runestone that says there r 7 forsaken to the valheim, including Ashlands thats 7, so deep north boss can't be a foresaken

Winter child final boss? Just a thought

[wooden tapir]

maybe its odin himself

in a giant god of war esq fight

[nocturne wolf]

If it’s not a forsaken it’s not our problem

[vocal rivet]

And we had 5 when early access happened. It's just out of date.

We are NOT fighting Odin, that just makes no sense.

[merry pebble]

Also it says "...I will add to this stone when I have seen more."

[plush umbra]

We'll see

[vocal rivet]

We'll definitely see the final Forsaken, yes.

[plush umbra]

Winter child only rzn fader became one to begin with so it would make sense to see the child as a form of boss in deep north

[nocturne wolf]

Where does the game mention this? I thought Fader was in Valheim because he was already forsaken, like all of the others

[ember panther]

Fader is such a cool boss

[tepid prawn]

But not even he can defeat root chest xD

[vocal rivet]

I tell you what, I'm not looking forward to getting all the new stuff in the Wiki when 1.0 drops. At least when there's a PTB we can get a little ahead.

[tepid prawn]

You better ask devs to give you a warning so you can book some time off your day job to do wiki haha

[vocal rivet]

I don't think we're QUITE special enough to get different treatment.

[nocturne wolf]

Or 1.0 could go through public testing like every other update has

[vocal rivet]

Except we know it isn't.

[tepid prawn]

Yeah I know I don't think anyone will know until it drops

[nocturne wolf]

We do?

[tepid prawn]

yeah was confirmed I believe

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, Smiffe has confirmed it.

[tepid prawn]

Let me look if there is any job openings at IG so I can work there, is the only way to know about DN early 😛

[shy marlin]

Not questioning but I just wanna see it myself. Source?

[tepid prawn]

I'm terrible at searching discord but I remember Smiffe saying no PTB

[errant phoenix]

is there a way to take screenshots without showing my character and hud?

[shy marlin]

Yea I looked and couldn't find anything

[vocal rivet]

Ctrl-F3

[tepid prawn]

What I'm thinking is they will release 1.0 patch after lots of internal testing and then stand ready when it releases to quickly tune and fix something when bugs are found

[merry pebble]

Ctrl+F3 for the HUD and command freefly for disembodied camera 🙂

[vocal rivet]

That's pretty much what'll happen, yeah.

[shy marlin]

Still lookin for that source

[vocal rivet]

Smiffe.

[shy marlin]

Yes, but where

[nocturne wolf]

I've tried searching and can't find it

[near furnace]

mew?

what did I do?

[nocturne wolf]

Confirm that deep north won't have public testing, apparently

[near furnace]

oh cool

[shy marlin]

yea just lookin for a source on that

soooo

does 1.0 have a ptb or?

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-snape-harrypotter-alan-rickman-idk-gif-4982423

we shall see when we get closer

[shy marlin]

Ok so you never confirmed it then, got it

[vocal rivet]

You need to stop saying things then going back on them.

[wooden tapir]

i like being kept in the dark

makes the realse more fun

[merry pebble]

You will not have enough vitamin D 🤔

[ember panther]

Will 1.0 still be compatible with old world saves?

[heady parcel]

It will come when it comes, and I won't be ready for it, so anything goes really. Lots to do in the meantime...

[merry pebble]

So far all updates were

[vocal rivet]

As every other update has been, yes.

[nocturne wolf]

Every other update has been, so it almost definitely will be

[wooden tapir]

same

[oak river]

i really hope 1.0 comes with another armor set in the plains

[ember panther]

Sweet. I got an old world save of pre mistlands, ashlands n deep north just for messing around with in hammer mode. Spent a long time on it so don't wanna lose everything

[vocal rivet]

I don't imagine it would. But there'll probably be a couple in Deep North.

[oak river]

i think they said that 1.0 would have changes around the whole game, not just adding the deep north. i dont remember where though maybe in the interview

[vocal rivet]

Changes != entirely new content.

[ember panther]

I think we'll finally get steam achievements with 1.0

[oak river]

we will

[heady parcel]

It will be the final polish, so expect balance tweaks and suchlike, but I would not hold my breath for a wealth of new stuff in existing zones, way to just be disappointed

[vocal rivet]

That's been confirmed, yes.

[ember panther]

Tame a lox. Find a may pole... beat a serpent with your fists

[oak river]

i want a second plains tier armor, a crossbow in an earlier biome, and armor to put on your loxes to prevent deathsquitos from killing them in a few hits. those are the biggest things i'd want besides the deep north for 1.0

[nocturne wolf]

Find a maypole would be a terrible achievement unless they become more common

[oak river]

find rocky needs to be an achievement

[merry pebble]

A hidden one if possible 😄

[nocturne wolf]

You aren’t achieving anything though you’re just getting lucky

[vocal rivet]

Achievements have to be based on actually achieving something.

[oak river]

thing with hidden achievements is that you can just look at global achievements and see them anyways

[ember panther]

I got pretty lucky then. I found one while lost af n built a base around it. Lost paradise

[near furnace]

yes

[nocturne wolf]

Many seeds don’t even have one maypole

[merry pebble]

If they would be guaranteed at least 1 per world it would be feasible i think 🙂

[oak river]

thats a lot of achievements in many games

[near furnace]

cheating will very much likly invalid any kind of achivements from being possible

[shy marlin]

lets go

petition to have an achievement to beat the game without food

[oak river]

catching a frozen tetra or whatever should be an achievement

fishing hat achievement

[merry pebble]

Hey!! You just want your own personal achievement dont you xD

[vocal rivet]

Lol. Absolutely.

[shy marlin]

Guilty

[ember panther]

Achievement for using cheats. Imacheater

[merry pebble]

Oh, kind of "negative" achievement?

[nocturne wolf]

Hitting a greyling with at least 200 knockback

[vocal rivet]

How is that an achievement?

[ember panther]

Badge of shame

[near furnace]

😄

oh lord. that's the 2nd cheatcode we ever used

[ember kraken]

Oh yes, so I can activate a cheatcode mode, and just never get achivements. Nice, I like it.

[steep turret]

hey guys. my friends tried playing a private server of valhiem and ran into critical network issues with lag and latency years ago. is that still a thing?

[vocal rivet]

If you're too far part apart it absolutely will be.

[steep turret]

darn so it never got fixed, ok thanks

[vocal rivet]

It was never broken, so no.

[snow rover]

Speed of light fixed in the next patch I'm sure 😀

[marsh barn]

whats a good weapon to use against seekers?

[shy marlin]

magic or no magic?

if magic prolly just use embers, non magic frost arrows + bow, himmin afl and mistwalker

[marsh barn]

no magic yet

we're just starting off in mistlands so i dont have any of that stuff lmao

[shy marlin]

Blackmetal atgeir or frostner then

[tacit crystal]

Frostner deals frost damage that they don't resist like physical damage types plus it slows and knockbacks them, which is useful.
Draugr Fang/Huntsman bow with Frost arrows is also good to have.

[plush umbra]

huntsman for stealth otherwise drauger

[errant phoenix]

is it even worth crafting copper armor? can i take on the swamp using troll armor only?

[plush umbra]

no and yes

u can use max troll until u get wolf or fenrir

[errant phoenix]

wdym no and yes

[plush umbra]

u asked 2 questions

i gave ya 2 answers

[shy marlin]

absolutely not worth to craft bronze armor

[errant phoenix]

ahh okay

[wary bane]

The Queen is no more... phew

[wispy hearth]

Wooo just beat final boss of the game.

[plush umbra]

nicee

[wispy hearth]

Now I just need to find damn Rocky. Any tips?

[plush umbra]

its all they talk about in #general just ask

[wooden tapir]

get lucky

[azure yacht]

no

yes

[little shore]

I'm guessing if you used devcommand you would have to make a new character and world

[zealous bridge]

Stick with meadows and Black Forest. Look in unexplored areas of the map, don’t look where u already uncovered..if too impatient spawn with dev commands like me 😄

[oak river]

i use troll hide into the mountains normally

[tepid prawn]

I much prefer root for swamp and mtn

then go fenris

[little shore]

For the achievements I meant too mention

[plush umbra]

root for mtn?????

[wooden tapir]

i used root harnesk almost entire game tbh

[plush umbra]

im prolly doin same with fenrir

[tepid prawn]

Yeah for mountain progression until you get fenris but keep the chest for when needed

[plush umbra]

gotcha

[tepid prawn]

I did fenris in mist but not ashlands was not working there for me

[plush umbra]

interesting

my goal for ash is lightning bow and axes with idk what sword n shield combo yet

ill prolly make a lightning mace too but im farrr from that part of game yet

[wooden tapir]

bows are so op once you level up skill

my last playthrough after i beat the game, i just leveled everything to 100 to test stuff out

bows are crazy with insta arrows

[plush umbra]

yep lol

u need lightning in the ash tho for the swarms of mobs

[wooden tapir]

i went with the snare one

if anything got too close id break out the axes

[plush umbra]

nice

we just tryna find yagluth loc rn lol

alrdy have a mistlands marked

[wooden tapir]

ive never had to look for yagluth vegivisir

always found the arena

[plush umbra]

we might search it

alrdy have everything plains offers in 2 days irl

not 48 hours but 2 sessions 1 a day maybe 5-7 hour sessions

[wooden tapir]

i need to play

havent been on in a few days

[plush umbra]

full chest of blackmetal, farm set up, mini bsse, loxes breading, tar, uhhh yeah

n true, i been off work with snow

[wooden tapir]

i went crazy with my plains farm tbh

[plush umbra]

we not going to hard with it

[wooden tapir]

i need to grind, i wanna get back to ML

first 3 biomes are boring for me now, played them so many times

[plush umbra]

i think when u outgrow the mobs in plains its bassicaly meadows 2.0

[wooden tapir]

yea, the tar guys kinda annoyign but everything else is cake

[plush umbra]

right

[tepid prawn]

I sometimes start a new map and if I want to rush, can knock over the first 3 in about 2h or less 🙂

[wispy hearth]

Only rocky is real in this patch, other are fake/fools?

like deer raiser, shotgun, etc?

[wooden tapir]

correct

[wooden tapir]

yea i kinda just been chilling tbh, taking it slow focusing on other things

i spent 5 hours looking for a rock LMAO

[tepid prawn]

Me too, we kill a boss every 2 weeks now on server, is a good timing for me

[wooden tapir]

yea i actually built a decently sized starter this time

a nice longhouse that will prob hold me until way later

not just a 4x4 box

[plush umbra]

We might have to make the castle bigger when we unlock marble, and it's alrdy huge

[wooden tapir]

i made a mega base with marble last time. I farmed 3 BM chests of marble. Realized that was not going to be nearly enough

alyways think you farmed enough, until you get to the building

[tepid prawn]

Biggest I did was somewhere between 22-24 bm chests of stone I think

[plush umbra]

damnnn

[plush umbra]

frrr lol

[chrome badge]

You got quite mad at me before when I said you shouldn't be telling people it will have a PTB, and now I read you're telling people there won't be a PTB. Smiffe has intentionally given nothing definitive on this topic Derek c'mon, pick a lane brother.

[lunar sapphire]

Previous experiences aren't confirming future plans

other updates have gone through PTB, so we can assume deep north will.
I can't confirm that ofc, nor can anyone but the devs

[shy marlin]

confusion just sparks when smiffe hints at there not being a ptb and then later is like yea we'll see lol

[lunar sapphire]

Smiffe is just confusing overall

❤️

[shy marlin]

Word

[lunar sapphire]

-# That's why he speaks in gifs

[chrome badge]

It wouldn't make much sense from a marketing perspective, it'd be like an early showing of a movie before official release, but no one has NDAs to sign, so the movie is spoiled in the reviews. This would cause unintended information to leak in reviews and footage to go up everywhere, hurting overall sales and hype surrouding a full release.

Personally I would cherry pick the most helpful members of the PTB for the private test.

[lunar sapphire]

How would the developers polish Deep north without the mass public plaything through it?

[shy marlin]

No amount of internal players can compare to the massive amount of players that play the ptb

[lunar sapphire]

It's like when you're so invested in an assignement/project and someone comes along and says "that's wrong". You may not have seen the problem otherwise

[chrome badge]

That can still happen with full release, you could have 1000 testers and full release will still surface some bugs.

[lunar sapphire]

Wouldn't it make sense to test the deep north prior to it officially going live and reaching 1.0?
A buggy 1.0 release would be 👀

not good

[chrome badge]

I never said don't test it did I?

[lunar sapphire]

"It wouldn't make much sense from a marketing perspective, it'd be like an early showing of a movie before official release, but no one has NDAs to sign, so the movie is spoiled in the reviews."
Answering that mainly

[chrome badge]

Cherry pick helpful PTB members, allow for a longer testing period, lay out some guidelines and privacy policies.

[rain inlet]

any servers i can join guys im new

[chrome badge]

In regards to the PTB-- not testing itself.

[lunar sapphire]

I'm sure there'll be the server for you in the #1024264966712340510 channel

I mean sure, PTB does unfortunately have lots of players outside of this discord testing things but again - more numbers = the opportunity for more changes/fixes to an update.

I don't think devs can ever fully play as a player.

[chrome badge]

It also would drop the levels of hype significantly because of spoilers and if there is a marketing push for Valheim's 1.0 release, it could be taken less seriously if footage of everything being advertised surfaced a month before on all news outlets.

[lunar sapphire]

Atleast here on this discord we usually have a couple or weeks or so of update spoilers being directed to 1 channel. To prevent spoilers

anything else shared outside of this discord we obviously can't control 😄 - so stay off youtube and reddit prior to offical biome updates when it's in testing

[chrome badge]

Right, but this would be most concerning to people who haven't purchased the game yet, the marketing push isn't for players who have the game but are trying to avoid apoilers.

[lunar sapphire]

I've not played Smallland but I've avoided any of the content updates so I can still have a blind playthrough

[chrome badge]

The money made on the back of the new content will probably take precedent to the publishing company.

Myself and the team at Midgar released 2 moderately successful pc/console games and this is how it was for us, and it worked very well I must say.

[lunar sapphire]

what, essentially having a closed testing group until release?

[chrome badge]

Public testing until the last 2 major patches, then accumulate the most helpful players into a large private testing group with goals set and longer testing timeframes.

We also rewarded every one of them with custom items in the game as a thank you.

[lunar sapphire]

Testing works differently for every company. What works well for some doesn't work well for others

[lunar sapphire]

This was done for the beta testers of Valheim, myself included

[plush umbra]

the edge of eternity was underwhelming to say the least...

[chrome badge]

Oh most definitely, I just see a lot of parallels here, we even used discord with a PTB code on steam 😅

[chrome badge]

It's not a game for everyone we knew that going into it haha

[plush umbra]

fair

[lunar sapphire]

to be fair, in the game testing world unfortunately a lot of people will use testing phases as a way to secure a free experience into a new game and not actually help share feedback or bugs.

So either testing method will always have it's flaws

[plush umbra]

i beta tested a mobile game for 3 years for them to turn it to absoulte trash after global release

[lunar sapphire]

💀

[chrome badge]

Most definitely, and in our case we had a publisher pushing full release to be as unknown as possible for the biggest profit possible.

[vocal rivet]

That's true for at least 90% of the folk in our PTB channel.

[lunar sapphire]

"in the game testing world, unfortunately a lot of people"

[chrome badge]

~~"in the game testing world, unfortunately a lot of ~~people"

[plush umbra]

ive beta tested 5 games, im not counting this one as ive just started n its been out for years

[chrome badge]

😂

[lunar sapphire]

I also understand that there's many reasons as to why this happens (being a testing lurker)

[chrome badge]

I always test on a backup, but it's rare I come across anything that hasn't already been discussed because I'm still taking time to do the slow things haha

That can surface issues all the same so I'm not too concerned.

[plush umbra]

after u test enough games you realize once they get their money they stop listening to players n just do what they want

[lunar sapphire]

That's not always true

[vocal rivet]

Thankfully IG don't do that.

[plush umbra]

ive seen games delete suggestions channels in their discords

and i cant speak for IG never tested for em

so far they seem cool or the ones in here but i thought that about many before so

[chrome badge]

Suggestions can get out of hand, I've seen death threats happen when a suggestion gets a lot of support but isn't implemented.

People get a little carried away sometimes.

[plush umbra]

yea but theres bots who can auto delete and remove the comments and ppl from the server

using key words n such

but yeah idk just in my years of experience its never been good being a tester and falling in love with the game

[chrome badge]

Oh nono in that case it was mailed directly to the developer, the person had figured out where they lived.

[plush umbra]

this ones been out for years so ill never say im a tester for this one so ill never comment in suggestions or about the dev team here

[plush umbra]

thats police situation than

[chrome badge]

Definitely, but suggestions were turned off from then on to avoid any further incidents.

[plush umbra]

ever heard of scopley??

[chrome badge]

Can't say I have.

[plush umbra]

horrid gaming develeping company

[lunar sapphire]

Great to see passion regarding gaming companies and their testing practices but let's keep this channel Valheim related ❤️

#general if you want to continue there

[chrome badge]

Oh yeah strayed a bit haha, I've got to get back to work anyways, thanks for the chat! (I'll look into scopley when I have another free moment)

👋

[lunar sapphire]

oh, I was avoiding that conversation but it's been mentioned

[languid blaze]

without spoils, what are the best damage types for the ashland?

[tacit crystal]

Anything can work there, what are you currently using?

[languid blaze]

I'm using himminafl and frostner, though after one peek into the ashlands I thought maybe silver sword would go crazy in there

[tacit crystal]

Those 3 are good. Extra spirit damage from silver weapons sure comes in handy there.

[near furnace]

oh lord. what happend here last night?

[robust token]

Idk if anyone check #screenshots often but here's an update about my Plains base.

I didn't realize the "world grid" was wrong while building the dock, and found out terrain walls are actually pretty neat

It protects from Fulings pretty well, but not tall enough to block from big enemies like Lox or Troll. and Deathquetos tend to fly in and attack the Loxes, I guess time to spend more time into the Mistland and try to make myself some Balista to protect them

[dreamy kiln]

U summoned the lord? 😎

[near furnace]

lord go sleep 😄

[dreamy kiln]

🤔 🤷‍♂️ 👍 🫡 😄

[exotic cradle]

It should go in #mods-screenshots , you're using modded content and that channel is for only vanilla ^^

[robust token]

Most things are vanilla, just some QoL mods :/

[exotic cradle]

Mods are mods

[robust token]

Fine

I guess I will just post somewhere else since nobody appreciate the effort 😔

[exotic cradle]

Visible mods is a problem, you could just hide UI and repost ^^

[robust token]

^^^^^^^^^

[lunar sapphire]

We are always visible

[exotic cradle]

Back to your beehive

[lunar sapphire]

awe

[exotic cradle]

(throwback to general dw xoxo)

[lunar sapphire]

[robust token]

It'd be annoying when somebody decided to not comment anything about your work but told you it shouldn't be there.

Like, live a little

[exotic cradle]

Ok, good job on the grid?

[robust token]

There's no grid but I thank you for your effort on trying.

It's also my bad, I didn't read the description of #screenshots and didn't know just some time huds would count as modded

[exotic cradle]

It's also not a discussion channel either

[robust token]

Slightly inconvenient imo, like why posting images aren't allowed here

[lunar sapphire]

In this channel specifically?

[robust token]

There's probably a conversation about this before

[robust token]

Yeah, I treat this as a general Valheim discussion place, other mods, of course

[lunar sapphire]

Irongate don't officially support mods. If you wish to modify Valheim there are dedicated channels for talking about said mods but you're modifying Valheim at your own risk

I will say that any modded screenshots of Valheim do need to be posted in the #mods-screenshots channel 👍

[gray sand]

Subject 💛

[robust token]

Thanks for letting me know on this part, it cleared my mind of why someone is so against modded

[lunar sapphire]

Yeah, almost daily we have people asking questions about mods. People are just used to the fact we don't allow discussion outside the mod-channels

[exotic cradle]

No one was being against it, just that channel is used for all Valheim screenshots. If a new player sees something modded it can get confusing, it happens often.

[keen trench]

is this matter of "being against modded"? i don't see nothing like it

[gray sand]

If you need someone to be "against modded" I am available.
But this is a happy channel so I suggest we keep things upbeat 🤷‍♂️

[tacit crystal]

Sev ready to go to war.

[gray sand]

My wrath against mods is currently restrained, but always available to be unleashed 😏

[heady parcel]

Valheim is the one game I play where I genuinely don't feel the need for any mods whatsoever. Eventually, once it is out of EA and the smoke has settled, I'll look into increasing render distance a bit. It is a bit annoying when your huge tower is not visible from a distance and then pops up out of nowhere once you get close. Apart from that, we happy..

[lunar sapphire]

I've voiced my opinions on modding EA games on another discord but alas, I'll also refrain

[gray sand]

EA sports, it's in the game.

[heady parcel]

I can hear the NHL95 melody in my head reading that

[exotic cradle]

The ONLY mod I ever considered to glance at was the seasonality thingy, but then I watched someone play with it and I got over it in about 6 minutes

[keen trench]

nono keep it there ahahah, this was just about server different channels rules, i had some hard time orientating myself, it's common and forgiven

im "wrong channel" usually means "hey bud move/edit the thing or it could be deleted" not "how dare you, you demon modder"

[gray sand]

See, I condense that to "Mods 🤢 " 😛

But I have not used said phrase in many moons.

[keen trench]

ahah, it's ok rules applies to what is written, thought is free as air 🤣

[gray sand]

Too many people don't understand that you can have thoughts and keep them to yourself 😂

[robust token]

I guess now it's too late to rephrase, ||I meant to say "not prefer modded" not "against modded"||

[gray sand]

HOW DARE YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE!

😏

[robust token]

I was busy okay :(

Anyways I'd say Valheim is pretty much playable without mods, I started trying some of them out recently

[gray sand]

Is game.
Is meant to be enjoyed.
How you enjoy is entirely up to you, and anyone saying differently is a dick.

[robust token]

Also not knowing newcomers get confused by modded games daily here

[gray sand]

Oh they see stuff and then wonder how they can do it, and if modded that would obviously need to be clarified up front to avoid them trying to accomplish the impossible in the vanilla game.
Hence, it goes in specific channel that auto-clarifies it.

[wispy hearth]

I started Valheim without any mods until mountain/plain biome when I got annoyed by planting seed one by one. Then I started adding mods like mass farm, etc. For me personally it's more of qol purposes.

[robust token]

Same here, my first mod is that too

[ember kraken]

MassFarming is love, without it I starve.

[errant phoenix]

whats the best bronze weapon to use?

to use in swamps

[heady parcel]

Objectively, probably the mace. But I'd say whatever feels fun. I tend to go with the sword because swords are cool. Skellies and blobs are sensitive to blunt though.

But you will want the iron mace and high clubs skill for the boss later on

[errant phoenix]

i liked the mace buckler combo anyways so thats pretty nice

[royal seal]

i just found two rocks right beside each other

[meager fossil]

The swamp is really against me right now. 3 biomes visited, no crypts

[heady parcel]

Ugh yeah, when all you find is the narrow strips of swamp hugging a coastline it is frustrating. There needs to be a certain width to the swamp for crypts to appear.

[meager fossil]

Yep, and iron is such an important material. Im soon at Mistlands, which has its own iron source too. But I hate navigating mistlands. So I prefer getting my iron from Swamps 🙂

[summer hinge]

Have you at least managed to avoid finding single tree swamps?

Meaning a swamp so small that it only fits a single swamp tree

[meager fossil]

Im not sure. Ive run into tiny patches of "swamp" in the ocean. There might have been one with a single tree 😂

[heady parcel]

I've got a beatiful one like that on one of my worlds, in the middle of an ocean, just a single petrified tree sticking up out of the water. Keep meaning to come back there and build something there

[summer hinge]

I had one world where I found at least 4 of them.

[summer hinge]

that's actually really neat. All the ones I've found have been on the edge of Black Forest

[meager fossil]

Yeah that could be turned into a rather interesting tree house in the middle of the ocean

[heady parcel]

Yeah that's the plan 😄

[meager fossil]

Make sure to throw us a picture when it happens 😎

[heady parcel]

By the way, isn't the hot tub just a tad TOO hot? Looks like I'm prepairing to boil seekers and pretend they're large lobsters

[royal seal]

I've only found two swamps so far. Each had two crypts. None of the four crypts had a Bonemass vegivisir. I hate it here

Also do muddy scrap piles only spawn in crypts? Some youtube videos said they also spawn underground in the swamp but Stagbreaker hasn't been helpful.

[merry pebble]

Yes they do also spawn outside in swamps 🙂 stagbreaker can help in locating them but its much harder than locating silver

[royal seal]

are they less common? I really need the iron to make a mace so I can fight BM and golems :') I made the mistake of making a banded instead of silver shield and wasted 8 ingots

[heady parcel]

They do appear in the swamps too, but I've never used the bonk search there, better to use the actual wishbone once you get it.

[royal seal]

ig I need to just find more swamps then

[royal seal]

...how do i fight 3 ulvs in a narrow hallway?

[lunar sapphire]

Seems you didn't make it to a swamp

[royal seal]

decided to tackle a mountain cave first 🙃

[heady parcel]

Shoot them before they pounce. If they're already awake, dodge their lunge and swing, they are squishy but hit hard

[lunar sapphire]

I'd also probably recommend Aoe attacks such as an atgeir as well

ideally weapons which help with groups of mobs

[royal seal]

yeah, I managed to kill one then broke a wall and found three 1-star ulves behind it and now idk what to do. I ran away but this means they're just at the mouth of the cave 🙃

I do have a bronze atgeir but I'm mainly using my iron axe rn

[heady parcel]

One-star ulvs? That would mean you're in a cave you should probably leave for later, or you're playing modded?

[royal seal]

I'm not playing modded, and yeah I think it's one of Hildir's caves

[blazing parrot]

Does anybody here still play in the same save after beating fader?

[vocal rivet]

I imagine many of us.

[blazing parrot]

Is there any particular reason why? I'm getting closer to fader, and ever since i started this new save i wanted to make it a bit longer lasting and continue on after fader, but i started to second guess myself

[heady parcel]

To me the bosses are secondary anyway, I'm all about exploring and building. I haven't even beaten queen yet. I'm a bit scared because I hear so much about how hard she is - and I have so much else to do that it is not very hard to keep pushing it forward for later...

[merry pebble]

Not really hard, but a long fight 🙂

[tribal trench]

The Queen Wants it All

[zealous thicket]

Post fader I have been collecting things to make a 'museum' of my adventure with friends. Boss heads, weapons, armor sets. Going to anything we missed like ||Hildurs Quests and the mysterious locations|| and trying out weapons that weren't part of my build. There is still lots to enjoy

[blazing parrot]

It is pretty hard for me without bonemass

[blazing parrot]

True... I'm currently playing co-op with my friend that's only online once in a moonlight because of one thing and another, and i was worried that it might feel pointless once that big part of your gameplay is just gone. Maybe i'd make it an sp save of my own purely for the builds and the rest of adventures..

[copper leaf]

Hi Guys will rocky spawn in a pre mistlands seed

[merry pebble]

If you have undiscovered meadows or black forest he will 🙂

[agile peak]

What kind of resource settings do people use when playing 2 people? 1.5x?

[heady parcel]

Vanilla all the way

[marsh barn]

Anybody have tips on how to best find infested mines in the mistlands? We havent been able to find any so far and its getting annoying lol

[agile peak]

Doesn't that get tedious? Everything feels twice as expensive with 2 players

[marsh barn]

It can be a bit annoying but my group of 3 also plays with full vanilla settings. It just makes things more satisfying once we have enough to craft what we want

[heady parcel]

Kind of the other way around, two people collecting stuff but if you build together you won't go through as much mats as if building separate bases

[agile peak]

Makes sense, thanks

[heady parcel]

There's no magic trick to it, you just need to explore carefully so you don't miss them. They're usually either a stairway to a an entrance into a cliffside, or an abandoned (no lanterns) dvergr building with a small horde of seekers around it.

[meager fossil]

First crypt I find, has 1 mass with iron, and NOTHING else. What the hell 🤣

3 iron!

[heady parcel]

It happens, I've had crypts with three dead ends just inside the entrance

[meager fossil]

That blows lmfao

[heady parcel]

When you really need iron that is not what you want to see... Or a crypt where the entrance is completely blocked by a petrified tree

[meager fossil]

True 😂

First ever crypt I found in this playthrough had enough for 5 trips or something. It was ridiculous. Every chest had 20+ iron, PLUS the mass in the doors

[agile peak]

I found the mother of all crypts the other day, almost 4 stacks or iron

[raw folio]

25% of starter landmass was swamp with 0 crypts 😂

That first journey across the sea on a raft absolutely wrecked my nerves 😅

[tacit crystal]

Exploring and finding infested mines, collecting all trophies, catching highest possible tiered fish, looking for fighting etc.

[void turtle]

Should I get root armor or iron armor?

[signal bloom]

Root

[merry pebble]

Really depends on you 🙂

[void turtle]

I want root armor to not waste iron and for fashion, but I don’t know how it’ll hold up against bonemass

[merry pebble]

If you can dodge you will be fine 🙂

[void turtle]

Root armor it is

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message @rain flare Nah, it just one of the things he sometimes says 😄

[void turtle]

The only issue is having to find 30 abominations to upgrade it

[merry pebble]

You could make iron helmet and 2 root pieces, that way you will not get the movement debuff from heavy armor, you will have a bit more armor, will have to find less Aboms and its not that much iron 🙂

[void turtle]

I might do that, although I already made the helmet, makes the swamp much less painful

[merry pebble]

The potions are quite cheap and give better resistance, so when i make anything root it is the harnesk 🙂

[void turtle]

I also keep having a problem where the abominations randomly run and then I have to lead them back to the geyser

[zealous thicket]

Abominations love to go deep diving in the ocean, they loveee running

[void turtle]

It also doesn’t help that the one I’m trying to kill is surrounded by four skeletons, a draugr archer, and surtlings, while I have like 30 health

[rain flare]

Most mobs do that if they think they can't hit you

aboms just seem...
Particularly bad at hitting you so they run more

[near furnace]

and abom is big, in a place filled with roots and trees 😄

same issues most normal mobs had in the old mistlands 😓

[azure yacht]

Upgrading is optional. So not really an issue

Everything is balanced around level 1 gear

[void turtle]

So it’ll be easier with upgrades

[near furnace]

correct

[fiery jacinth]

Man, I feel stupid. It's only today that I considered checking below ground for the rest of the copper veins as well instead of just mining the surface area...

[rain flare]

It happens to everyone at least once 😉

[wary oak]

tbh there's no need to bother mining the underground copper

there's like a billion copper everywhere that you'll never have to do that

[fiery jacinth]

Yes but
There's left over copper
that I didn't mine.

gives me conniptions

[wary oak]

idkk, last time I've dig underground took me like 2 hours

[fiery jacinth]

I mean, fair. but this spot is way closer to my ship and close to the shore!

[karmic token]

hello

please where can i find valheim mod for not dropping item in inventory

please help me

tq

[exotic cradle]

uhh #mods-discussion ? Even though I'm not sure what you're asking for D:

[karmic token]

okok sorry and thanks

[shell grotto]

Me and my friend playing Valheim with mods and when i dropped raw copper ore and then they disappeared!

sometimes coals disappear when we smelt wood to coal

why it happening

and when my friend put raw copper ore to chest and they disappear

[indigo pagoda]

Multiplayer with mods? That's always gonna happen bro. Stuff is always gonna despawn with mods or due to server lag. It could also be in your mods, maybe you have like an automatic sort mod where whenever you drop stuff it automatically sorts it out. Idk man

[shell grotto]

that still sucks

[merry pebble]

Mods often do sadly 🙂

[wary oak]

wdym?

[ivory sentinel]

Do you mean not dropping items upon death? If so, that is a world modifier that you can change without a mod.

[little sand]

I am sooooo confused right now. I purchased a xbox dedicated server. I am so confused on how setting it up 🫤🫤.

Like I'm having to use gportal app on Xbox

[heady parcel]

Check the dedicated server channel, maybe someone there knows how to help #dedicated-server

[karmic token]

all item

[wary oak]

you'll need a mod then

[karmic token]

so where can i find these mod

[wary oak]

g o o g l e

[merry pebble]

Ask in #mods-discussion 🙂

[karmic token]

okok sorry

[merry pebble]

No worries 😄

[karmic token]

i already google before i join this dc...

[wary oak]

What did u google?

[karmic token]

i google this mod

[wary oak]

ah apparently there's not any

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message @summer breach Would you mind sharing seed? 👀

[summer breach]

rQCSVNMWM6

[wary bane]

Ouch.. Just landed in Ashlands.

managed to get a portal and bench up..

then I Immediately get "They were Bros man!"

oof

[void turtle]

For some reason, I go back to my ship from the swamp, and the boat is destroyed, materials gone, it was nowhere near the land, why?

[heady parcel]

Mobs that notice it will destroy it. It is safest to dismantle (controlled destruction) and store the ship if you will be active in the same area you parked your ship. As long as you are near enough for mobs to roam around near the ship, they can aggro on it.

[summer breach]

@merry pebble Why is it not replicable? I thought all worlds with the same seed are the same?

[void turtle]

Now I have to kill deer and make another boat and sail all the way back

[merry pebble]

If you look at the screenshot i posted i am at the same fortress as you 🙂 When did you make that world? If it is older and you explored it somewhat there might be POIs moved around.

[summer breach]

I started that word around September last year and used the explore map command

I only found the fortress today

[merry pebble]

The exploremap command doesent matter 🙂 it only shows the map and doesent generate terrain. Did you come to ashlands before bog witch update for example?

[summer breach]

I probably had come to that ashlands before the bogwitch update but I'm not sure since the original character for that world was deleted.

[merry pebble]

Then that quite possibly caused the situation 🙂

[summer breach]

thats fine its still a cool find

[merry pebble]

Indeed it is 😄 never saw this generation before

[summer breach]

although the altar was clipped into oblivion so you cant even spawn the boss

unless you like demolishing fortresses

[merry pebble]

Dont worry 😄 there are 4 other Fader altars

[summer breach]

sadly it was not a survival find as it would be fun to set up base there with friends

[sinful lagoon]

we have a media share area in this discord?

[merry pebble]

If it is valheim related then we have #fanart #screenshots #memes-and-clips or #self-promotion 🙂

Also #viking-metal 😄

[summer breach]

That reminds me of the time when me and my brother were trying to raid our first fortress in public test ashlands and we were getting screwed until we got raided by thungr and zil which saved us since the charred warriors and fuling killed each other

[sinful lagoon]

huge help, thank you!

[hybrid jolt]

I want to ask is valhiem a good game?

[merry pebble]

Considering the place where are you asking what answer do you expect? 😄

[hybrid jolt]

Truth about people who are playing

[merry pebble]

Imho it is one of, if not THE, best game i ever played 😄

[hybrid jolt]

What is this game?
Meaning which type of game is this?
Is their a end ?

[merry pebble]

A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!
No end so far but there will be once we exit early access 🙂

[regal spoke]

Doesn't have to end either but yes all that ^

[hybrid jolt]

From 3 years its in early access?

[merry pebble]

4, and yes 🙂

It is on the steam page...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/892970/Valheim/

Ah a troll 😄 good to know

Lets not feed it even a little guys

[zealous thicket]

And here I was writing a legit review

[regal spoke]

This small dev team have done and will continue to do an incredible

[zealous thicket]

[regal spoke]

Oh go back to the broken overpriced triple A garbage youve been playing.

[merry pebble]

Cmon... What did i say about feeding our blue friends...

[regal spoke]

Sometimes you gotta keep it a buck for these little bums

[lusty dirge]

Also, the game may not be finished, but quality-wise it's way ahead of many titles that are fully released

[summer hinge]

Looks like the troll left on their own accord.

||good riddance, I might add||

I was actually hoping to dish out at least a mute today tho.

Oh well

[lusty crescent]

No modstats for you today lol
Quiet times are the best times though

I really expect the server to blow up on 1.0 release day, the same day I lock back in on this game

[royal seal]

FINALLY. A sunken crypt has been found. Four rooms in and I already have four stacks of iron. It's crazy how much of a difference there is between an iron and antler pickaxe, too.

Another crypt, another no bonemass vegvisir 🥲

IT WAS ONE CRYPT AWAY.

[glad schooner]

my current seed has about 20 sunken crypts in a very tight grouping, im in heaven

[royal seal]

I keep only finding two per swamp :')
The sixth one had the vegvisir. I found Moder and Yagluth before Bonemass 🙃

[glad schooner]

hmm moder could be doable, or maybe an early wolf farm?

[royal seal]

oh yeah, I was thinking of doing some wolf taming. Can you command wolves to follow or are they like boars?

[glad schooner]

they will follow you, and they do a pretty decent job of it

[royal seal]

might do that, then. May as well make my iron mace now to kill some golems; gonna go back to base after draining this blessed crypt dry. Are crystal battleaxes good btw?

[glad schooner]

im using one for the first time on this run and i love it

if you invested heavily in a shield you might go a different way though. also if you have the stone id recommend making the initial wolf training pen out of stone

[royal seal]

oh yeah, every time I've seen someone talk about taming, they always had wolves in stone and lox in black marble.

I only ask because my axe skill is at like 33 and I don't know if it's worth making a crystal battleaxe or if I should just alternate between mace and my iron axe

[glad schooner]

if you havent tried a battle axe yet or you're good on the resources i say go for it. its better combat wise for sure

#screenshots message about to start a fight between this tar pit and this fuling village i found while passing through to get to moder

tar pit crew got wrecked

[near furnace]

go on 🤔

[ember panther]

I need to find where I left my crystal battle axe. Pretty sure I left it in some temporary base I made after it broke and I couldn't repair it then forgot to go back. Now I've no idea where that is

[royal seal]

Oh lmao. I had one spawn right beside the village, basically cleared out half the village for me lol

it's right beside a swamp that's nestled right between those plains and a black forest, so at some point I had a lox, a troll, and a bunch of undead/surtlings just duking it out while I desperately tried to regain stamina

[glad schooner]

ahh those are the best valheim moments

[royal seal]

sad I couldn't get an abomination to join in though

I do use the lox at the edge of that swamp to farm abominations when I don't feel like running all the way to the nearest crypt though

[glad schooner]

gotta get those abomination trophies and hang a bunch on your outside walls for decorations!

[royal seal]

I have one on top of my wardrobe :D
And a dragon egg as a bedside lamp.

[gleaming radish]

does anyone know why development in valheim takes so long?

[plush umbra]

wdym

[gleaming radish]

deep north update

[plush umbra]

cuz they want it to be good and not rush an update just to plz temporary players when they can make it the best update yet considering its final biome for the game

[gleaming radish]

yeah but the time theyre taking is still extreme

[lunar sapphire]

The development doesn't happen in Valheim

[plush umbra]

not really

[lunar sapphire]

that'd be hard to do with all the locals and such

[gleaming radish]

trolls have too big hands

[lunar sapphire]

Nah, they're used for logging/mining

[gleaming radish]

is there even a release date/time for deep north

[lunar sapphire]

Not at this time traveller. In due time though, in due time

You can find that answer here #news

[royal seal]

because programming is a delicate process.

[gray sand]

It doesn't?

[vocal rivet]

Well, that went thankfully nowhere.

[near furnace]

small team and we don't want to release something we aren't proud of

[gleaming radish]

thats a good reason thank you

[cyan wind]

New merch drop anytime soon?

[near furnace]

new merch?

what kind would you like as new? 🤔

[light moat]

Official Valheim coloring book

[gleaming radish]

id buy that

[nocturne wolf]

Anything with Rocky or a Neck and I will buy it immediately

[gleaming radish]

theres a neck plush

[nocturne wolf]

I have it already

[light moat]

Rocky merch already exists, go outside

[gleaming radish]

can you guys make a boar mousepad

[near furnace]

all these are "new" ish 🤔

[near furnace]

it was a april fools things tho 😄

you really want it as a plushie now?

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve got the lox here too

[cyan wind]

100%

Maybe a 1000% lol

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.shop/en-euro/pages/contact-us

There

[near furnace]

so 1000% percent wanting a rocky plushie! 😄

buying 10 ? 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Only 10?

[near furnace]

so there is a market for 11 rocky plushies 😄

[cyan wind]

😂

[near furnace]

good package deal on the shipping tho 👍

[ember panther]

Don't do a rocky pushie. Do an actual rock

[near furnace]

🤔

that would be fun

[vocal rivet]

A paperweight?

[cyan wind]

Mystery boxes with diff expressions…

[near furnace]

with googely eyes?

https://tenor.com/view/rock-everythingeverywhereallatonce-gif-25516405

Tbh why not 😄

[ember panther]

Yes!!!

[vocal rivet]

Mystery boxes are evil.

[exotic pumice]

I wanted to take a moment to say I LOVE the Shield Generators! What a brilliant addition to the game. Thank you devs so much, I can't describe my joy of taking a portal on a rainy day and being completely dry

[cyan wind]

Fair

[near furnace]

just buy them all

and build a huge pile of them

[nocturne wolf]

Buy them all and you still won’t get the one you want

[near furnace]

just buy more 😄

Thank you I hadn't seen that!!

[inner viper]

how do i find the rock to make my rock pet?

[grizzled dove]

Lots and lots of patience it's easier on new worlds I've heard.

[tame merlin]

i dont think you can make the rock? but maybe on the hoe or cultivator

yea its on the hoe? i think

[grizzled dove]

You can spawn it in

[tame merlin]

yea but thats dev commands

[grizzled dove]

Also it's the hammer

[tame merlin]

where

[inner viper]

no that just makes a stone, i have to find a specific stone on the ground that is bigger and is actually named "rock" then with that I craft my rock pet with the rock and coal

[tame merlin]

ohhh then idk

[grizzled dove]

Apparently it only spawns in areas you have not explored

[inner viper]

dang, ok thanks

[grizzled dove]

So a new world apparently is easiest

[marsh barn]

does hp regen faster while resting?

oh yeah nvm it does by a lot

[ember panther]

Stamina too. If in mining I try n make a rest shelter to regenerate faster

[regal spoke]

Rested can be achieved next to campfire under open sky (when not raining). Sit by the fire

[tame merlin]

for modding i was wondering what are some go to client side mods because im playing on a valheim server. Just wondering

[robust token]

I also wonder about that, let's ask in #mods-discussion tho, as players there might be more experienced into modding.

[tame merlin]

OOOOOOO okay i didnt see that!!! tysm

[bold crag]

anyone tryna come help a new player out on a fresh world you can bring your char with whatever you want, i just wanna progress,

[tame merlin]

i would say play the game by yourself but however you wanna play it is how you wanna play it

[bold crag]

playing with people is always more fun is it not?

[robust token]

I have some early game stuff if you want me to dump at your place xD

[bold crag]

i dont even have a world of my own ive only ever joined people so im trying to get some people to come play and help me start my 1st world

[robust token]

ah I see

[bold crag]

i mean i have like bronze tools and thats as far as ive mad it with others

[tame merlin]

i would say yes playing with other people but it would be better if you both are at the same level

[robust token]

I just want to do that because I'm on Mistlands tier stuff lol

Like defeating a Troll just takes 3 hits if done right
