Just manage stamina, is all I want to say about that

[pliant hatch]

You Tube channels have three problems:

1. They spoil a lot about what to get in which biome;
2. They don't show that the one recording most likely has a lot more experiences as those who see the game for the first time; thus making everything looking easier as it actually is;
3. It doesn't show if mods and world modifiers are on; thus giving the impression the game is a lot easier as it is.

If you truly want to know about the game, don't watch YouTube playthroughs, but play the game on a normal setting first.

[quick cradle]

Exactly when i watch yt i get lost alot and i dont know whats real and whats not

Im just there to get smoke by those creepy pasta green eye mobs in swamp

[ember panther]

I saw some YouTube video of someone trying to survive and beat a mistlands only run...

sees mods are on.
closes video

[quick cradle]

Bro they got sniper one tapping me

Anyone mind to play with me ? At this point ?😅

[heady parcel]

1 - dont go in the swamp at night if you aren't prepared for it. 2 - what foods are you using? If you're getting onetapped you might be on too weak foods

[quick cradle]

I have honey and meat

[sharp bluff]

yeah, those are way too weak

[pliant hatch]

So what you need to do is use the way they fight you to fight them.

Get a bow, get the best possible arrows without using metal (so most likely flint or flame), when approaching the swamp, crouch and sneak to the border. When seeing a monster, shoot it, while still being crouched.

Even with a low bow skill you will be able to kill it with a single shot, as sneaking adds a damage modifier to the use of bows and knifes.

Also works on everything in the Black Forest and is in particular useful when you hit a troll at its head. (dmg reduction can be up to 30-ish % with that first shot.

[heady parcel]

Just cooked meat? Go make a cauldron and cook proper foods

[quick cradle]

A friend of mine said if you increase the skill for the stuff it can demolish them and gives you alot more damage , is it right ?

[quick cradle]

Yea man no one there to play i get bored after getting my azz clapped by hords

[pliant hatch]

It's a very good idea to check what's under the hammer and crafting stations each and every time you pick up a new item.
Everything can be picked up in one way or another and everything you pick up will be used at some point. Either for crafting, cooking or construction.

[sharp bluff]

skill levels matters quite a bit
especially 1-10

[pliant hatch]

So as soon as you see the text pop up that tells you what something is, you will be certain it's going to used at some point.

[quick cradle]

Cuz i saw a vid a guy sneak attacked a troll with max skill and max lvl bronze knife and troll got clapped by one attack

[azure yacht]

Lower the difficulty

[quick cradle]

Man you guys are good thought i might get trolled when i ask these stuff but ya all are actually helping me😅

[heady parcel]

If you're just using cooked meat and honey you should be nowhere near a swamp. You need to make a cauldron to use ingredients to cook foods that are FAR better. In the black forest you should have found carrot seeds - plant carrots. In the swamp you might have found turnip seeds, they're the next step.

[pliant hatch]

So take it more slow.

This isn't a speed run game and this isn't an RPG where you can rush through certain parts of the main quest since the monsters level with you.

In this game the monsters level with the biome, meaning you need to adapt to them.

[meager fossil]

Trust me, Thorin knows what he is talking about. He's a dwarf

[pliant hatch]

Also means that the monsters get (a lot) easier the moment you're several biomes later in the game.
Swamp may be hard now, but it's almost a breeze after you defeated Yagluth.
At that point the Greydwarfs aren't enemies, but objects you can use for the "How far can I let them fly when I hit them" game.

[meager fossil]

I use Greydwarfs for unarmed dummies

[quick cradle]

Would you play with me 🗿

[quick cradle]

Bro that gray dwarf i call em ryan gosling 😂 he heals them

[heady parcel]

The one who vomits green stuff? Yeah, he does that!

[quick cradle]

I name the mobs on my own its way more fun 😂😂😂

[meager fossil]

The green one? Man, the shaman is an a-hole in the start of the game. First raid with greydwarves and heavies, and this shaman hiding in the middle healing them all

[pliant hatch]

Which is also the one who has to be taken out first. Brutes after, starred Greydwarfs next. Normal ones last.

[quick cradle]

Bro poison me and i have to run like a baby

[meager fossil]

Definately. But it can be a challenge with the beginner tools at our desposal. That or Im just not good 😄

[quick cradle]

And i hate them throwing rocks at me

[pliant hatch]

Rocks can be blocked with your shield. And it may even stagger them.

Giving you the chance to bring them in the permanent stagger stage. 💀

[heady parcel]

Man I got careless once and forgot starred brutes are actually dangerous if you are low on foods. Got humbled... (this being long after bronze age)

[quick cradle]

First time i saw a goblin i was like yoooo look at this funny little goblin he was laughing and running i thought he scared , little did i know this mf turned around and one tapped the shxt out of me

[meager fossil]

Regarding rocks, theres nothing more rage inducing in the game than dying to a rock you dont see coming, while avoiding death by the skin of your teeth from other mobs

Actually mosquitos coming out of nowhere to finish you is a close 2nd

[quick cradle]

How about i was running screaming from a mosquito bro acted like i unalived his whole family

[meager fossil]

No that was me. I just told him it was you

[quick cradle]

All i know is i get rage in this game cuz you die suddenly and you are like whyyyyy

[meager fossil]

But let the rage be your motivator!! Let it DRIVE you to success!

Im currently raging at ALL OF Mistlands. And its driving me forward

Im drooling, but Im getting there

[quick cradle]

I got there once as im a dum explorer with my troll armor and i got smoked inside this mist and i dint even know what killed me😂😂😂

[heady parcel]

Yeah - all I can say is - food. Food is pretty much THE progression in Valheim. You can often get by using obsolete gear, but on too weak foods you are a sitting duck.

[meager fossil]

I find stamina management more important than anything else. Even food

[heady parcel]

You need food to have any stamina 😄

[pliant hatch]

How about getting attacked by Growth from 4 different directions, while you just avoided the spit of the 5th and killed that one?
I saw my HP going down so fast, I don't even know if it was their poison or the first hit of their attacks that killed me.

[meager fossil]

Definately. Not saying you are wrong there 🤣

[quick cradle]

I got killed by my own trap i didnt know where i put in darkness

[heady parcel]

Ouch!

[meager fossil]

Those are my least favorite enemy in the entire game. They are fast, they jump over pallisade, they come in groups, they push you back AND slows you, AND poisons you. Its like the developers wanted to make a mass of imbalance to play with us

[wary oak]

damn I didn't expect bonemass fight to be that easy

[quick cradle]

I died cuz of freeezing 😂 how embarrassing can that be ?

[meager fossil]

That's what you get for being a massively awesome viking

[pliant hatch]

Oh, that's one I don't have on my "list of silly deaths" yet.

I do have the "death by chopped tree", "Death by own camp fire", "Death by Greydwarf Rock" and "Death by falling while building" on that list, though.

[meager fossil]

Death by campfire is one I havent tried. But I did die while building. My last longhouse was VERY tall and long. While roofing I fell down and broke my legs and died

[heady parcel]

I have a confession to make - I never died to a falling tree in Valheim. I feel like I have missed some important initiation...

[meager fossil]

I dont believe you

[quick cradle]

Glad im the first one

[quick cradle]

The first time I chopped the tree i was like ok where is the wood and then i got slamed by a falling tree … didnt know a 2gb game have physics 🗿😂

[heady parcel]

Just a side effect of my tree-hugging sensibilities, I tend to farm wood from the half grown saplings more than fully grown trees. No need to cut up logs, no danger of dying from falling timber - and much clearer visibility in the landscape...

[quick cradle]

I thought the game be like mine raft you get the wood didnt know making a house is also complicated

[pliant hatch]

I'm still wondering if I should do a challenge in which I'm only allowed to pick up wood from branches and the fallen (rotting?) logs and tree stumps.
It certainly will limit my expansion a bit.

[quick cradle]

Alot

Use troll to get wood then

[meager fossil]

Noooo! Another Mistland biome, that turns out to be more mountain and plains...

[quick cradle]

I gound mini mistland in water

[pliant hatch]

I doubt it's a lot.
There's plenty of the fallen / rotting trees in the Meadows and Black Forrest.
I don't build large with wood early in the game.
So it will only limit my coal making a bit; but with having at least two portals in the Black Forest I may be able to find lots of wood eventually.
And with a log-troll, access to Corewood will be there as well; just somewhat harder to get that.

[heady parcel]

You'll certainly need to restrain yourself while building though

[heady parcel]

It's a bit hard with Mistlands - you need them to be big so they have mines, but you also want to be able to get out before it gets dark...

[meager fossil]

Darkness isnt an issue. I always setup a primary portal where my boat is, and another to bring with me. I place that other one down before going into a mine, etc. Could also be to get back at dark

[heady parcel]

yeah I recently started doing it like that. A long time I did it the hard way though, and hunkered down with dvergr to wait the night out...

[meager fossil]

I just wish Mistlands would be generally bigger, and more likely to have mines. They are annoying enough to navigate, but finding several biomes only to see its mostly plains or mountains and no mines, can be incredibly annoying

[pliant hatch]

There are larger Mistlands islands, but you often find them more to the Eastern or Western edge of the map.

[heady parcel]

You might have an unlucky seed, but my experience is that Mistlands has the most landmass of any biome. Really, I have come across some stupidly large Mistlands continents with just a few little pockets of other biomes. I think you're just getting unlucky with your exploration. Remember - mistlands goes the whole cirkle around the centre of the world, at a certain distance, so you will find bigger landmasses.

And when an entire island - or continent - is Mistlands, it becomes annoying to traverse. I prefer having a pocket of Forest or Plains to make landfall on, set up a base camp and explore from.

[ember panther]

Its almost all mistlands the closer you get to the edge of the world

[heady parcel]

Yeah, especially east and west where the Ashlands or Deep North won't reach.

[meager fossil]

Oh Ill remember that, thanks!

[pliant hatch]

In worst case you can always look up your seed at the Valheim Map Generator, but with having all annotations turned off.
That way you will know what the world will look like, but you won't be able to see where bosses, traders, vegvisirs and the like are located.

[meager fossil]

I honestly did consider that. Mostly because I genuinely dislike Mistland. But at the same time, theres always a sense of accomplishment when I DO find those cores and start upgrading. Finding a mine is super satisfying

[pliant hatch]

Hence why I suggested to keep those options off.

Although it will be very tempting to turn the vegvisir location on after exploring the 25th mine and still haven't found any.

And yes, I have been in that situation.

[meager fossil]

Luckily my first mine had vegvisir 😄 but only 2 cores

Now Im heading to the queens location biome, hoping to find more cores there

[gloomy hearth]

base burnt down yet again 🥲

ill never get to bronze age at this rate

[pliant hatch]

You're running the game with the Fire Hazard Modifier on?

[gloomy hearth]

idk what that setting is but im on a friend's server

hunting down all the surtling cores is probably the most annoying part of getting bronze

[pliant hatch]

That modifier means that anything that's too close to a fire can be set ablaze and burn things down.

It's very useful when using the fire arrows or a torch in fighting, but it's a big pain in the butt when you build something too close to a fire.

For campfires, smelters and kilns you need to create a 6x6 meter area without any wooden floors around it to make sure it won't catch fire. Also meaning the wooden walls need to be at least 6 meters away from the center of the fire and roofs need to be quite high above it.

For surtling cores, build a charcoal burner, craft a chest full of charcoal - while mining for copper for instance - break down the charcoal burner, build a smelter, smelt the copper and tin until you're out of coal.
And in between hunt for more cores.
You basically need 10 to craft copper and tin.
You will need a lot more when using portals, but once you get to the swamp and find the surtling spawn you will have more cores available to you as you will ever need.

[gloomy hearth]

my problem is getting hit by meteorites all the time that burn down my house XD

[pliant hatch]

Meteorites?
I didn't know those were in the game, other as a "weapon" from Yagluth.

Or like "ashrain" in Ashlands.

[vocal rivet]

Sounds like mods.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too

[gloomy hearth]

Im starting to regret building my base so close to the black forest as im getting constant raids and my flint spear isnt really doing enough damage to kill trolls and brutes consistantely

its day 19 and i really wanna get to bronze soon

[pliant hatch]

Build the upgrades to your workbench and upgrade your spear.

[vocal rivet]

You've killed Eikthyr, right?

[gloomy hearth]

yes that one is dead

havent killed anything else though

its like the fifth time i have to rebuild my house so ive been spending a lot of time chopping beech with my flint axe

[regal spoke]

Level 2-3 Flint spear staggers the mess out of dwarves. Throw it at them at melee range, pickup, stab, stab lol

[low dirge]

charcoal kiln should produce charcoal

[merry pebble]

Carbon is carbon 😄

[low dirge]

carbon kiln would produce carbon
pink is pink
maroon is maroon

[light moat]

Doesn’t the kiln produce charcoal? 👀

[pliant hatch]

It does, but it isn't about what it produces, but about what it should've been called.

In other words: nitpicking at translations.

[light moat]

Ahhh it creates coal, got it! Forgot the name for a moment

[low dirge]

diamonds are also carbon

[pliant hatch]

In some languages "coal" could be charcoal or the one you mine from under ground. But at the same time, "charcoal" and "stone coal" are also used.

[pliant hatch]

So is tar.

[vocal rivet]

I... don't think this is that important.

[low dirge]

any language could pop out oiuyt from the oiuyt kiln

please charcoal from the charcoal kiln

[vocal rivet]

Even among the other minor quibbles with the game (as opposed to the bigger issues), this is fairly insignificant.

[low dirge]

it is easy to fix 💖

[vocal rivet]

It's utterly unecessary to fix.

[pliant hatch]

I don't think they even used the mined coal in the Viking age. And when it was, it was most likely hard to come by, the charcoal was the most used one and very likely to named "coal" in a general way of speaking.

So frankly speaking I don't see the need for the change, as we all should know what's meant.

[low dirge]

so this is the..... never mention any improvements channel

gotcha

[vocal rivet]

No, actual improvements are completely fine.

All this would achieve is two different resources that do exactly the same thing just one is called coal and the other is called charcoal. Some improvement.

[low dirge]

don't fix your own typo, put it back, it was actually finer before

charcoal burners are legitimately cool, and so are coal miners, and it's just two different things, it's flavor, don't jump on me for stating the obvious and also saying please

[vocal rivet]

It wasn't a typo, I just didn't like using effectively the same word twice in the same sentence.

No-one has jumped on you. All I've said so far is that I just don't see the benefit of putting in the effort.

[pliant hatch]

Well, if you insist in it having changed; post it in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612

Perhaps the devs may take a look at it, take it into consideration and perhaps, maybe, probably change it if they think it's a useful change.

[gray sand]

dony eber fiz tylo's
alwaus soell thinfs wronh.

[vocal rivet]

That's terrifying

[pliant hatch]

It's English only in this channel. 👼

[gray sand]

Yes, but I am not allowed to fix it. 😏

Only other people are allowed to fix typos.

[signal bloom]

Ye olde english or english?

[kind iron]

New English preferred. I bet the people that spoke old english never thought it was old. So our current english isn't enough. We need to get ahead of the game with a newer one.

[shy marlin]

i love this discord

[celest acorn]

I want to know everyone’s opinion on this, what is the best valheim boss theme

[lunar sapphire]

Maven from Path of exile um, I think the Fader boss music but it's been a while since I've heard it

[echo wind]

Yes, but the tar is stuck in the tar

[plush umbra]

guys deep north is not out yet right

[azure yacht]

#valheim-patchnotes

[vocal rivet]

Please don't.

[echo wind]

I mean there's a fairly large spoiler tag? 🤷

[vocal rivet]

I fail to see how that's relevant. Just don't state things that aren't true.

[shy marlin]

yes the integrity must be maintained

[vocal rivet]

Well, yes. This is the official server. Misinformation should be avoided.

[shy marlin]

yes glad we are on the same page

[vocal rivet]

It was bound to happen eventually.

[fluid valley]

Any good mods for the combat difficulty slider

I genuinely feel the devs messed up badly with it because normal difficulty is extremely easy and unenjoyable but on hard difficulty I get 1 shot by everything lol like what???? I have 80 block with a black metsl tower shield and fully upgraded padded armor and almost 200 hp ????????

But if I fight the same thing on normal I lose like 50 hp when it hits me??????????? Like what the hell

[nimble moss]

#mods-discussion

[paper roost]

hard difficulty is not for blocking style, either you parry, or dont get hit

[gray sand]

Very Hard is not for either things 😄
You dodge roll or walk out only, because you aren't parrying or blocking anything unless you're going to previous biomes with gear from much later in the progression. 😄

[paper roost]

not really, but its way more complicated, thats why i always say the hard is best balanced

[gray sand]

Not really? 🤔

Ok on review, VH you can parry most things in Meadows and BF.
Swamp/Mountain/Plains are the roughest in terms of you being able to parry only like 1 enemy in the biome.
Mistlands you get a bit of a bump as Carapace Buckler is the best shield in the game even now.
And then it levels back down to "really, don't even try" when you go to Ashlands.

[paper roost]

thats why i didnt wanna go deeper in that, but with proper gear you can parry most of the no star enemies in each biome, some even star enemies

[gray sand]

I will disagree with your assertion of "most of", but /shrug it isn't worth debating tbh.

You know for a fact Scales isn't parrying jack shit on his current no-food run 😏

[paper roost]

well you cant parry with no food, also scales has mostly different style than parry enemies

[gray sand]

Scales has Scale Issues 😏

[paper roost]

thats what we can agree on 😄

[gray sand]

I can't parry much either on this vegetarian run I am doing 😭

It's basically just pure stamina foods always until you either switch to being a mage or keep going with SSS food always.

[paper roost]

yeah, i can imagine thats rough

normal combat settings?

[gray sand]

I do VH with raids disabled.

So your base is a safe haven, but if you venture forth you have to be ready for the pain.

I hope that one day they separate the "combat difficulty" slider into 2 separate sliders of "enemy damage" and "enemy star chance".
Because I would prefer to run normal damage settings with a much higher starred chance, but that is just me.

[paper roost]

hmm, thats interesting idea, i havent thought about that

[faint merlin]

Quick question are the developers going to add achievements soon I noticed on steam it doesn't

Even though it's early access

I know some EA games have achievements

[nocturne wolf]

They have said achievements are coming with 1.0

[faint merlin]

Ohh okay where can I go to read the roadmap of this game? I tried finding it on this server

[nocturne wolf]

There is no roadmap, but 1.0 will be the next update

[faint merlin]

Noted thank you I thought there was one

[nocturne wolf]

There was, a long time ago

[faint merlin]

Ohh 😮 I'm assuming as time went on they changed a lot of stuff in the meantime. I'm new to the game. So it's been a while since I played the game. I played it when it first came out on Xbox Gamepass a few years ago

[meager fossil]

When you look for 2 hours for a mine in mistlands, finally finding a building with bugs... then its one without a mine...

🤬

[near furnace]

yes. at 1.0

[gray sand]

If you know the console commands you can manipulate each individually. So the functionality for them separately already exists, they are just combined into 1 slider right now. And I hope they split it into 2 at some point.

[gray sand]

Just need Smiffe to pass it along 😏

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I am not a fan of messing with base game mechanics like damage and movement to increase challenge, I'd rather have just more mobs with higher chance of them being starred. Less frustrating, and does not force you into using certain strategies since e.g. blocking is just no longer viable.

That said, the one two-star seeker I have met this current run was like a damn boss fight. I'd not survive two of them at once...

[gray sand]

Not 2 at once.
Just a 2-star Seeker and a 2-star Soldier 😏

And when you kill the Seeker a 2-star Gjall shows up 😏

[heady parcel]

It had a one-star buddy, which I focused down while just trying to stay the heck away from that red bugger

[gray sand]

The starred Seekers look cool as fuck, you have to give them that.

[heady parcel]

I've killed two two-star soldiers, thankfully I met both in places where I could get on top of something..

[nocturne wolf]

Even with two stars, in most cases you can just jump over seekers for a free hit or two

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I'm way to clumsy on the controls for such antics. One fumbled move and I'm dead..

[gray sand]

Just use Himmminimiminmminimn Afl and stun-lock them with lightning damage 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

Is that a super long himminafl

[gray sand]

I never know how many m's and n's that name has so I type it that way 😄

[heady parcel]

The Himminafl is great, but I've had bad experiences with it missing due to terrain putting the seekers just high enough to be out of reach - but of course they can hit me. In those situations it's good to have a shield so you can turtle until you find even ground

[nocturne wolf]

Both the primary and secondary attacks reach between 0.7 and 1.3m above your feet

[gray sand]

Just drop EITR balls everywhere and wait for their spark damage to kill everything 😏

[heady parcel]

Aye, but Mistlands is full of potholes that seem to be just exactly 1.4 meters in that case haha

[gray sand]

If you have not killed Queen purely with EITR, you owe it to yourself. Is quite funny.

[heady parcel]

I haven't killed the Queen, period. Still stocking up on bile bombs. Gonna nuke her silly!

[nocturne wolf]

Bring tonic of ratatosk and lightfoot mead, you need to move a lot

[gray sand]

?

When I kill her normally I don't move that much tbh.

[meager fossil]

Queen is next on my list. Still looking for the best weapon to do the deed. Any tips? Ive mainly used Atgeir thus far

[tacit crystal]

Ol' good Krom.

[heady parcel]

I'm so scared of that bug I keep coming up with excuses to postpone the fight

[nocturne wolf]

||But when she teleports you need to catch up||

[gray sand]

Himmin is great.
Just bring 2 of them or build a repair station outside (you can leave, fix things, and go back in without her healing more than just a couple hp)

You will want an assload of Tasty Mead though.

[gray sand]

No? I just wait for her to slide back down to me 😄

I ain't walk up the damn stairs. 😂

[nocturne wolf]

But that's slow

[meager fossil]

How IS Krom? Is it as clunky as battleaxe? Ive been interested in it.

[gray sand]

Krom is amazing.

[heady parcel]

I found it fun but very situational

[gray sand]

Krom is nothing like the battleaxe at all.

[tacit crystal]

It's faster than battleaxe but has MTP.

[nocturne wolf]

It only has -5% movespeed so you move much faster, even faster than 1h sword + shield

[meager fossil]

Oh? I might try it out. Queen is pierce resistant, so I wasnt sure about Himmin

[heady parcel]

In the swamp it nearly got me killed when testing, so I suspect it takes some practice to use it effectively

[tacit crystal]

The secondary attack has similar timing as 1h swords and deals great damage.

[meager fossil]

Nice 🔥

[gray sand]

Which makes no sense and I hope they revert that change.
Because the 2-handed weapons should not have the MTP, and the 1-handed SHOULD have it, but currently doesn't for Odin knows whatever the fuck reason....

[heady parcel]

What is MTP?

[nocturne wolf]

I think both swords shouldn't have it

[tacit crystal]

Multi target penalty.

[nocturne wolf]

You deal less damage when hitting multiple targets in one attack

[gray sand]

1-handed 100% should have it.
2-handed should not.

[heady parcel]

Aaaah that is very strange, I assumed it didn't since the one-handed sword doesn't

[shy marlin]

Why parry when atgeir do trick

[heady parcel]

Weird choice

[tacit crystal]

Something changed after Mistlands patch, before it 1 handed swords had MTP.

[gray sand]

No food, no armor, no weapon run next 😏

[gray sand]

Yes, which is what they need to revert to/fix.
Because it is stupid atm.

[nocturne wolf]

Pickaxe run when

[shy marlin]

the last dance happens today

#thisistherun

[tacit crystal]

At least Smiffe is aware of that, as it has been brought up for him one time.

[tacit crystal]

Good luck.

[gray sand]

Idk how they coded it in, but if it were me, fixing it would take all of 2 minutes because it would just be switching the bHasMTP value from true to false on Krom and Slayer + variants and bHasMTP from false to true on all one-handed swords.
🤷‍♂️
But if they typed the code differently it could take longer to address 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

It's just a single value on the attack to change

[gray sand]

-# So it is so easy that Smiffe could fix it? 😏

[tacit crystal]

Might not be the most important fix to do but might be addressed when 1.0 is here I suppose.

[heady parcel]

Yeah logically it would be part of the general balancing tweaks with 1.0

[compact barn]

can someone please explain why this happens, and how to avoid it? when i connect with my client tothe dedicated server i am hosting locally, i am getting a massive lag spike, and everyone else on the server gets disconnected. this ONLY happens when i initially connect to my server (my self)

[wary bane]

I really hope that the upcoming Achievements are not feat or progress related but actually all death related. ie: Was killed by falling tree, was killed by Deathsquito whilst at sea, was killed by boar after forgetting to eat, smoked yourself to death, died by accidently setting yourself on fire etc etc..

[nocturne wolf]

Death by bukeperries

[tepid prawn]

I once killed a 2 star seeker with Krom, it was tricky, I did eat food but was naked and that was the only weapon I had left, it was a glorius advantage, this made me like the weapon quite a bit from then on haha

[faint ruin]

Hello chat

[meager fossil]

Good evening!

[faint ruin]

:3

[eternal blade]

with MTP, nobody would make swords. Axes can do the job just as well, and you need to make most of them anyway....

[meager fossil]

The speed and movesset from Swords are magnitudes better for combat than axe is.

[gray sand]

That's just false.

[gloomy hearth]

my house burned down again 🥹

[gray sand]

Better is subjective.
The two weapons are different and cater to different playstyles/people.
If MTP was reverted neither would be objectively better/worse. It would purely be a matter of player preference.

Sincerely, someone who prefers axes over swords.

[eternal blade]

I wouldn't call it magnitudes. They're slightly faster to actually connect, but that's all.

[gray sand]

Higher attspd with slightly less damage averaging out to equal DPS.
As they should be. So it becomes a matter of choice.

[eternal blade]

I dunno how about you, but for me, one-handers are still only secondary weapon, my primary is atgeir

[meager fossil]

I dont understand why. Axe has always FELT more like a tool than an actual weapon

[gray sand]

Feel has a lot to do with preference in this game.
So that is extremely valid in terms of which weapon you, personally, prefer.

[eternal blade]

basically my progression is flint axe-bronze axe-atgeirs. I use bronze axe for abominations, iron mace for bonemass and golems, and atgeir or ranged option handle the rest

[meager fossil]

Fair enough

[gray sand]

Which means them fixing the MTP error will have no effect on your progression 😏😉

[shy marlin]

Krom enjoyers are the most based people around i swear

[eternal blade]

not for me, but other people use swords...but if there was MTP, swords would be pretty much equal to axes, but since you make axes anyway for woodcutting, there would be less incentive to use resources on swords

[gray sand]

Tons of incentive between "I like swords bruh" and the alt attack for swords.

[eternal blade]

I didn't use it enough to get used to it. Actually I'd like to try it out again in my next playthrough

[gray sand]

I've never seen you swear tbh 🤔

[shy marlin]

i don't in this discord but everywhere else

[gray sand]

Using lowercase i's is offensive enough tbf. Best that you're not pushing it with other words. 😏

[shy marlin]

idk i like lowercase i

[gray sand]

😭

[shy marlin]

and now i 'm just going to do it to spite you

[heady parcel]

I only make axes to chop trees, and occasionally kill mobs that bother me while I'm chopping trees. I use swords for fighting, always.

[gray sand]

Scales | Spite Expressionist

[meager fossil]

Same. It never felt like a weapon to me. I always kinda wanted them to keep a woodcutting hatchet, and then making an axe, specificly for combat

[eternal blade]

there are battleaxes, but...those are meh

[shy marlin]

Battleaxes are so close to being good

[eternal blade]

they're more finnicky than anything. You can do secondary into primary combo, but that doesn't stagger big enemies while battleaxes should be their bane IMO

[shy marlin]

Yea agreed

[gray sand]

Shave like 0.2s off the primary windup and they are awesome imo.

[eternal blade]

and there are only two battleaxes in the game. They're okay until plains, but in mistlands the damage is just insufficient

[shy marlin]

All the battleaxes really need is the secondary to do 6x stagger like the atgeir does, -10% movement speed (increase atgeir to -10% too) and yea like sev said shave some time off of the first auto chain

[gray sand]

Take the 0.2s off and Crystal would be one of the better entry-to-Ashlands weapons tbh.

[shy marlin]

Hard to beat some other options but yea it'd be aight

[gray sand]

No MTP and spirit damage for everyone 😁

[shy marlin]

silver sword

[gray sand]

Swords need to be reverted, as stated.

[shy marlin]

yea i am just on my game today (focus on the i)

[gray sand]

Pain.

[eternal blade]

yep. The damage of silver sword is pretty much equal to crystal battleaxe in ashlands, but it's just much faster

[shy marlin]

it's pretty much equal to mistwalker dmg and uses less stamina 😆

[gray sand]

Go look at #memes-and-clips @shy marlin 😛

[shy marlin]

🫡

[wintry hollow]

Yo can someone help me i got a question about the greydwarf farm

[gray sand]

Searching keyword "help"

Oh look: #valheim-help 👀

[royal seal]

do I want fire, obsidian, or needle arrows for Moder? with Draugr Fang

[shy marlin]

Needle if you can

[gray sand]

Obs are completely fine.
Needle would be an upgrade.

But tbh, you will do the most damage in melee when she lands.

[royal seal]

yeah I have a lot of needles lmao. What about melee? I currently have level 3 silver sword and silver shield. Should that be functional?

[gray sand]

Most people kill her with the Iron Mace from previous biome, so what you have is more than functional.

[royal seal]

sweet. I assume I shouldn't raise ground to make pillars for cover or something like that and just fight her like normal

[gray sand]

To quote Obi-wan:

You must do what you feel is right, of course.

[royal seal]

:')

[gray sand]

Flattening ground so she has a larger area to land more often is advised.

Which can involve raising.

[royal seal]

welp, here's to hoping she's easier than the Elder. Bonemass was easier than the Elder, hoping Moder's the same.
And yah, her summoning spot is actually in a surprisingly even area.

[gray sand]

What was hard about Elder?

(And Bonemass is the easiest fight in the game)

[royal seal]

the roots he summoned, kept getting caught in them + the trees and rocks.

[royal seal]

I assume we're not counting basically-tutorial Eikthyr?

[gray sand]

No trees inside the stone alter 😉

[gray sand]

I am counting Eikthyr.
Bonemass is the easiest fight in the game.

[royal seal]

also the fact that a troll appeared while I was fighting the Elder lol

[vivid locust]

hello

[royal seal]

ok so the plan is to flatten the ground and clear out any golems in the area before the fight so I don't get turned into a skewer or a pancake.

[gray sand]

Use benches to spawnproof. That is part of boss-prep.

[royal seal]

does that include summoned minions? Or does she not summon?

[gray sand]

She has no adds.

[wide zenith]

Why i can't connect to my friend, and vice versa

[shy marlin]

Moder should totally spawn drakes imo

[gray sand]

Scales plz...

You would have Moder spawn in multiple Eikthyrs if you could.

And you would have Yagluth Meteors crash down, do their normal damage, but also spawn a Growth.

[shy marlin]

Sounds like a good addition to very hard

🙏 make it more than number changes

[meager fossil]

Is a thrust with Krom considered pierce? Or still slash?

[royal seal]

is Porcupine good btw?

[shy marlin]

still slash

[meager fossil]

I always liked it

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[meager fossil]

For Plains, its pretty good

[royal seal]

let me rephrase: Is it worth making or am I better off just sticking to swords? also for Yagluth

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective to the individual 😂

[meager fossil]

You can use Porcupine for Yagluth, it has Blunt too

[gray sand]

What any of us individually or collectively find worth/not worth has no bearing on your playthrough and your personal preferences.

[meager fossil]

Also, lox are slash resistant, so its good for plains enemies in general

[gray sand]

BiS weapon for Yag is Silver Sword.

[meager fossil]

What I tend to do, is make Porcupine for plains farming etc, and silver sword for Yagluth

[heady parcel]

For Yag, the silver sword is king. And I prefer the black metal sword to porky, but it is a matter of taste.

[gray sand]

Pulled pork tastes amazing though.

[meager fossil]

Pulled pork burger with Coleslaw and BBQ dressing

[heady parcel]

Damn right

[gray sand]

Hold the slaw plz.

[meager fossil]

In my hands?

[royal seal]

ahhh I see. I just wanna try and discern whether it's a worthy investment or not, is all. Needles aren't the most farmable of resources so I don't wanna "waste" them.

[gray sand]

Just the burger with Tasty Mead.
You can keep the slaw to yourself.

[royal seal]

though I guess I can always just experiment with different things and see what I like.

[gray sand]

It is worth if you are going to have a display room eventually where you need 1 of everything anyway 😉

[royal seal]

that's true, very good point

[gray sand]

This is the way.

[meager fossil]

If you stick to lox pies for a while (which I personally do), you'll get PLENTY of needles. From mosquitos AND chests in camps. It will make Lox easier to farm, which is great longterm. But Silversword can do the job in plains well, except for Lox

[royal seal]

is it better than Frostner, damage-wise? (I ask, not having found Haldor yet)

[gray sand]

Is a good weapon better than a horrible weapon? Yes.

[meager fossil]

Frostner is crap in my opinion (in plains)

[shy marlin]

Frostner is a solid 3.6, not great not terrible

[royal seal]

what. why does every youtube video praise Frostner so much but everyone here hates it 😭

[gray sand]

Imagine going to YT influencers for information 😏

[shy marlin]

yea those guys are dumb

[royal seal]

tbf they were mainly saying frostner for Bonemass and Ashlands i think

[ember panther]

Frostner is good in the swamps lol

I mean you'll always need iron anyway

[gray sand]

Which is proof they are dumb.

They are recommending a post-Bonemass weapon for Bonemass...

[shy marlin]

A weapon that is a biome above a biome is good in a lower tier biome whattttttttt

[gray sand]

Berserkir Axes are great against Eikthyr.

[shy marlin]

not as good as slayer (slayer one shots)

[meager fossil]

Krom is also great against Greydwarves

[royal seal]

I guess you're technically not supposed to have silver pre-BM, that makes sense.

[gray sand]

-# Time to start a fight:

Reddit has more reliable info than YouTube.

[meager fossil]

But in conclussion, you can stick to Silversword. You'll just struggle a bit more with Lox

[shy marlin]

how about use neither for info

[gray sand]

Use the WWSD method?

-# What Would Smiffe Do?

[shy marlin]

forget WWSD

[gray sand]

BLASPHEMY

[shy marlin]

WWRD (what would rocky do)

[gray sand]

Rocky does what Smiffe does. 😉

Need a new weapon that is just Wooden Club with Rocky on the end of it.

[shy marlin]

i'd do a wooden club with rocky only run then

[gray sand]

And speed up the attack animation so it matches We Will Rock You.

[royal seal]

is there a way to more reliably get mushrooms btw?

[gray sand]

Mark them on map only if the cluster has 5 or more.
Return every 4? days.

[royal seal]

ah, crap. that's mildly inconvenient, I need my wolf skewers 😭

[shy marlin]

^ i also like to use a hoe and make the surrounding grass dirt for increased visibility on the foraging runs even tho they're marked

[gray sand]

For now. Plains food will completely replace them.

[royal seal]

yeah. I have some plains food. I might just go eyescream, cooked lox, and sausage at this point tbh

but I don't have pies or flour yet.

[gray sand]

but I don't have pies or flour yet.
You're not all-powerful, Anakin.
Well I should be.
Some day I will be.
I will be, the most powerful Viking ever. I promise you.
I will even learn to stop dying on Very Hard.

What's wrong Anakin?

I... I killed them.
I killed them all.
They're dead, every single one of them.
And not just the Brutes...
But the shamans, and the greylings too.
They're like animals and I slaughtered them like animals.
I hate them.

🚪 🚶

[shy marlin]

👉 🚪

[gray sand]

I'M ALREADY LEAVING SCALES.

[shy marlin]

👉 🚪

[gray sand]

I will turn that into a meme and post to reddit to farm karma points though 😂

[shy marlin]

Lost me at reddit

[royal seal]

"Yagluth. Somehow, he returned."

[gray sand]

Yesssssss!

A jedi uses the EITR for knowledge and defense, never for attack 😏

[cunning quartz]

do i best build my starter house near ocean?

[tacit crystal]

Bit late, but Porcupine is good all around weapon against all mobs in Plains: full damage against fulings, pierce dealing normal damage against Lox and blunt dealing better damage against Growths.

[royal seal]

I built mine in the meadows and just plop down a bench to build ships when I need. However, if you wanna make docks that actually look good, a house by the ocean isn't bad. I'd just suggest keeping it close to a black forest as well if you can.

[cunning quartz]

i had a house i was building near what i thought was an ocean but it turned out to be a lake

im very close to a black forest tho

so i dont know if i should stay near the lake or not

tho i also have an ocean close to a black forest, so maybe relocate here>

[royal seal]

could be good. I'd suggest either being near an ocean or a mountain

btw, my wolf keeps healing 0 hp. Why is he not healing?

[gray sand]

Because he keeps taking the emotional damage from knowing cats are better 😏

[royal seal]

real.
Do resistances of the same type stack? If I drink a frost resistance mead and have wolf armour, will that do anything?

[heady parcel]

Check if there's a narrow part between the lake and the ocean, you could be able to dredge a canal

[gray sand]

No, only the highest one applies.

[royal seal]

ah, thought so. ok now we wait for my healing mead to brew then Moder dies. Or I die 20 times.

[heady parcel]

But, more importantly - mead resistance cancel vulnerabilities from other things.

or rather, any resistance does

[gray sand]

Could try not dying 😉

[shy marlin]

^

[royal seal]

Do or do not, there is no try.

[cunning quartz]

its not close enough i think

[royal seal]

oh yeah, do you need to be close for birth when breeding or just pregnancy?

[heady parcel]

Well, depends on how much you're prepared to dig - as long as the terrain doesn't get too high you can dig some seriously long canals. But it takes a lot of time and if the terrain is too hight it won't work, so you're probably better off relocating - or making a scond base. That's what I usually do when I find a better spot - build a new place. Then eventually build roads between them...

[pallid scaffold]

No HD textures packs available anymore? All of Willybachs stuff is hidden on nexus

[cunning quartz]

yeah gonna make a second base, i only had done the frames of the building and the roof tbh so its not a big deal

[heady parcel]

Ask in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion I guess, more likely to get a response there. Other than folks like me pointing you there...

[pallid scaffold]

Oop sorry I guess I didn't scroll the sidebar :S

[royal seal]

ok so i hid my Moder portal behind a large rock in a bit I carved in the mountainside, to make sure she doesn't destroy it in case I need to teleport in/out. Planted workbenches around and at the nearby drake nest, and praying no distant fenring or golem hears us. Now we wait for the meads to brew

[heady parcel]

Just don't fight her at night and you'll be alright. And check the surroundings for golems first too, you don't want one of those stomping in and getting involved

[cunning quartz]

i swear deer are hard to hit

like they constantly notice you >:(

[vivid locust]

Are runestones a crafting item?

[exotic cradle]

You can't craft a runestone, no

[vivid locust]

Thank you

[exotic cradle]

Sneak

[cobalt canyon]

mind the wind directions

[heady parcel]

Also, sneaking is actually just that - sneaking - it reduces the noise you make, it does not make you invisible. So stay out of the mob's line of sight while sneaking.

[heady parcel]

As far as I know, the mob smelling you thing is an internet myth, but if anyone knows better feel free to correct me.

The trolls really do stand there sniffing when you're sneaking around though...

[cobalt canyon]

huh. Wiki says nothing about it so maybe not

[heady parcel]

Ooooh, I never realised Bonesnap had a bit of spirit damage on it

[vivid locust]

Can you transport wolf true the portals

[cobalt canyon]

nope

[gray sand]

False.

[cobalt canyon]

unless you mod it

[exotic cradle]

Dont mod ew

[cobalt canyon]

you don't want to put wolves through portals? :(

[heady parcel]

Heh, what a waste - a crypt with three vaevisirs in it

[exotic cradle]

I dont want to ruin a perfectly good game

[cobalt canyon]

Mod carefully and to your liking

[vivid locust]

So can you put them on the ships then?

[cobalt canyon]

no ruining gonna happen

[gray sand]

Yes.

[exotic cradle]

Yes

[vivid locust]

I see thank you

That will be a journey

[exotic cradle]

But fun!

[cobalt canyon]

maybe be careful with it though - I've heard tell of wolves flying off the ship

[royal seal]

use range. Spears and bows, and sneak. Otherwise, you'll have to get lucky and have one just run into you.

[heady parcel]

I could rant a while about the pros and cons about modding a game, especially one still in development, but that's for another channel. Wink-wink..

[heady parcel]

Wolves swim well though, you just need to slow down so they can keep up

[cunning quartz]

im doing that but they notice me before i notice them lmao xD

[vivid locust]

Can you put Lox on ships as well ?

[exotic cradle]

yes

[vivid locust]

Oh boy

[royal seal]

you're getting too close, probably. Also make sure you sneak.

[cobalt canyon]

Hey @exotic cradle you got any idea on this?

[exotic cradle]

Myth

[pliant hatch]

Yes, but if they jump off, slow down and they may swim behind you.

[heady parcel]

The way trolls stand sniffing when they're not alerted had me believing it for a long time

[exotic cradle]

just an idle animation

[vivid locust]

Oh thank you for the tip

[weary egret]

if i destroy the roof above my bed, will it still function as a spawn point?

[gray sand]

If you have activated it as the spawn point before destruction, yes.

[weary egret]

ok cool, gonna demolish my old base

[royal seal]

is Bonemass's power better or Eikthyr's when fighting Moder?

[gray sand]

Better is subjective.

[shy marlin]

probably go for eik imo

[nocturne wolf]

[heady parcel]

Bonemass only reduces physical damage, so for Moder I'd go with Eik

And try to avoid getting bit

[heady parcel]

Urm, the body pile I was happily farming draugr from has stopped producing more cannon fodder. Did I wear it out? Or can the be blocked by something?

(last one was a two-star elite, maybe he drained it...)

[exotic cradle]

Built anything?\

[heady parcel]

No I'm in a crypt, but I went into the next room and started hacking on a mud pile and that kicked it back into working order

[royal seal]

Moder got stuck behind a rock.

my bow will break before I run out of arrows

[gray sand]

[cobalt canyon]

Settled my current base (while going through swamp) thinking it'd go through the end of Plains - turned out there was a let's call "fair size" mistlands right past the plains - and at the southernmost point I can see where the water transitions to Ashlands

[royal seal]

I dug a little alcove to put my portal in and Moder followed me into it and got stuck. She flew out of it and instead of following me down to her altar, she just... flew back into it. She won't leave. I can't get my portal materials and my bow is about to break.

[heady parcel]

Go in and spank her? Shield up, get a few swings in, go out and regenerate. Rince and repeat

Or make a small repair shack, unless it's the huntsman's bow?

[royal seal]

okay, she got out. I repositioned my portal. She then proceeded to just... stand behind a log... then flew back behind the rock. And it's Draugr Fang so I need a forge lol

[near furnace]

I usually bring 2 bows to fight moder 🤔

[royal seal]

I'm literally standing in the middle of an open area and she just... she just keeps getting her ass stuck

[near furnace]

yeah. her pathfinding can be very dumb sometimes because the area are so littered with stuff

[heady parcel]

I usually do most of my damage to her in melee actually, I suck too much at shooting, I miss half my arrows when sheh's flying around

[cobalt canyon]

I like spears & melee better

[heady parcel]

Tell her to just stay airborne

😅

But it truly depends a lot on how her area has generated, in all my worlds I have never had her get stuck more than a few seconds

[near furnace]

you can always pickaxe, woodcut and smooth the place with the hoe

[cobalt canyon]

sometimes

[royal seal]

I tried. I literally stood in the middle of a giant open area but she just

she landed on top of me. I guess that was too close? She just stood there and took it 😭

[near furnace]

😄

[cobalt canyon]

If you are going ranged it's also not terribly hard to get needle arrows beforehand

[royal seal]

I had a stack of 100 needle arrows + like 40 pure needles 😭

I used up all the poison arrows I found throughout the sunken crypts then most of the needle arrows

[teal holly]

Hi, Valheim have crossplay???

[merry pebble]

Yes it has 🙂

[teal holly]

Thankksss, niiice

[proper kindle]

Got overconfident, then got quickly dismantled by a 2 star skeleton archer and lost all my stuff on the wrong side of the ocean. Fun! I shall return.

[cunning quartz]

hurray, i killed the big deer thing xD

[arctic garnet]

There is no polearm for the Ashlands? This makes me sad.

[gray sand]

There is no battleaxe since Mountain still?

[arctic garnet]

😔

For being a viking game, I feel we are missing a dane axe. That's... basically a battle axe that isn't comically oversized.

[shy marlin]

@light moat @tacit crystal It's done, I did it.

[gray sand]

Wow. I guess I am not on the friends list 😭

[shy marlin]

@gray sand I did it

[gray sand]

Pity Ping 😭

[tacit crystal]

Congrats, to the absolute legend.
We see video footage in YT soon?

[shy marlin]

I don't even wanna know how much editing it's gonna be

[tacit crystal]

How long it took?

[shy marlin]

overall?

[tacit crystal]

The Fader fight I meant.

[shy marlin]

oh like 10 min

[gray sand]

So still faster than most people do Queen? 😏

[tacit crystal]

Ah you thought I asked about the whole run?

[shy marlin]

which is a little disappointing, on some practice runs i was getting 5-6 min no food faders going on

[gray sand]

Whole run was less than 90 minutes guaranteed 😁

[arctic garnet]

I have question. The +10% pierce it says for the 3 piece armor of Ask, is that +10% outgoing pierce damage? Or +10% resistance to pierce?

[gray sand]

If it doesn't have the word "Resist" in the description, it is not talking about Resist.

[tacit crystal]

+10% pierce to damage for your pierce weapons: bows, crossbows, spears, atgeirs, knives.

[polar kelp]

lol Rocky's in Black Mirror :D

[arctic garnet]

Thank

[slow leaf]

Finally got into the Ashlands... this is what people are complaining about? It's so tame.

[light moat]

Wow that’s freaking crazy! Huge W! Congrats 🎉 🎉

[shy marlin]

not ashamed i got him down and i cried for like 5 min

gonna send him off the edge of the world and give him a proper goodbye 🫡

If my math is mathin this run has been 742 hours in the making

yea more or less, started at 2500 and now i'm at 3300

[gray sand]

So like 90 minutes? Called it.

[shy marlin]

Yea pretty close

[gray sand]

Time is relative after all 😉

[sleek beacon]

yo, im new to the server, where can i join lfg servers or let people join my own on steam?

[shy marlin]

#1024264966712340510

[slow leaf]

What'd you do?

[shy marlin]

Permadeath no food

[pliant hatch]

Damn, that's bloody impressive.

[shy marlin]

Plus no boss portals, all bosses on vh (rest of the playthrough is on normal but it really doesn't matter because everything pretty much starting from mountains one shots you), raids on more and a general honor clause of it feels like cheating it is

and also because you don't have food means you really can't parry, and you don't passively regain hp, which means that all damage is essentially permament until you use an hp food, which also means that until you get your first bits of bronze, you only have 25 hp

There's a few other dilemas too like upgrading your weapons isn't always the best play because they take more stamina and you only have 50 stamina

It was an interesting challenge and that refreshed some difficulty into the game but i've never ever ever ever doing that again

[halcyon grove]

hello chat

[frail stag]

what does disingenious mean

[white charm]

disingenuous is insincere, not honest

[knotty veldt]

Is the mountains usually a pretty fast biome to progress through?

cause I lowk feel I'm missing something

[shy marlin]

nah its pretty short

Silver is nice and fast and frost caves are pretty optional

[knotty veldt]

it seems like all I have to do rn is make a better set of armor and I should be ready to fight Moder?

and maybe the dragur fang but idk if I need that

[shy marlin]

Draugr fang is a good investment i'd go for it

[knotty veldt]

Also

how TF am I supposed to get THESE DRAGON EGGS TO THE SPAWN

they weigh 200 pounds

and idek how many I need

[wooden tapir]

one at a time

just a general piece of advice tho, most of the time the mountain that has the altar has 3 or more nests on it

[gleaming radish]

She val my heim till i hugin

[slim remnant]

🔥🔥

[wintry valve]

I wish we could build tunnels in this game, but how it work would be hella difficult to implement, I suppose

[vital umbra]

now starting myyyyyy......i think seventh playthrough

[cobalt canyon]

day ~70, well into Mistlands

fair pace I think

[slow leaf]

Is the ashlands food supposed to unlock without upgrading the cauldron again? Why is there even a cauldron upgrade for ashlands then?

[shy marlin]

It's a side effect of bog witch introducing the prep table that doesn't require the cauldron to also be upgraded to get the new food

Hopefully they make it so you can't get ashlands food until you've gotten to the appropriate cauldron table but yea

[slow leaf]

Yeah I just looked I guess some stuff is locked but I can make the best foods right away pretty much? No wonder Ashlands feels so easy

[shy marlin]

😅 yea hopefully they revisit the prep table

one of the many things 1.0 should do

[cobalt canyon]

those 2 star dverger healers man

Tough to chew through that health pool before they get their move off

[buoyant panther]

I wish you could have them follow you through the game.

[wintry valve]

have you met a two star askvin yet?

[vital umbra]

i have decided to attempt a chill ass run

minimum death penalty, 2x resources, build cost off, portal everything.

and i am excited ☕....how old i am

[gray sand]

Why need x2 resources if build cost is off?

[vital umbra]

crafting

hi sev

i might turn combat difficulty up, if i interpreted it right, it can spawn more starred enemies?

[knotty veldt]

Aw man I cant post screenshots

[vital umbra]

not here atleast

[gray sand]

If only... #screenshots 😏

[knotty veldt]

I think you're gaslighting

[gray sand]

You are free to think whatever you feel like 🤷‍♂️

[knotty veldt]

lmao

[vital umbra]

fascinating

[vital umbra]

all of it turns to completely normal as soon as deep north drops.

[vital umbra]

oh, in free build mode wood stacks are useless, that actually hurts my soul i think.

[tacit crystal]

Usually the mountain with Moder altar has also enough drake nests for getting the eggs for the altar.

[gleaming vault]

Do candles still burn out or can I use them as decoration finally?

[vital umbra]

is there like some kinda photo mode

[tacit crystal]

Afaik they do burn out still and need to be rebuilt. Haven't seen any changes in that regard.

[exotic cradle]

If you don't mind a lazy devcommand, setfuel "unmelts" them but they still need to be lit

[digital iron]

i may not be the first one to discover this, but apparently if you have 2x resources set on world modifiers and place decorative stone using hoe and pick it up, you can get infinite amount of stone

[pliant hatch]

Already works with 1,5 resources.
And yes, it's known.

[woeful shale]

I'm looking for a friend to play together 😄

[halcyon grove]

omg am I really getting back into valheim after 1800 hours, hosting many servers include modded, and then taking the last 6 months off? why yes, yes I am! lol

I have no idea what is even popular for mods nowadays im so out of date. Guess I should join a larger established server and do a playthrough first on the new content!

[heady parcel]

Argh, I'm in a crypt where a mud pile has spawned in a depression where you have to swim. So it's taunting me, I can't mine it. Aaaargh!

[halcyon grove]

womp womp

[hearty reef]

lmao so that's why the game has had those graphical artifacts and looked blurry for years

it's because Valheim uses TAA

It feels so much better with FXAA on instead

I guess Swedes love their TAA

[meager fossil]

I got to try Krom a little in Mistlands.. And my opinion on it, is somewhat mixed. The attack animations are incredibly satisfying. But the stagger potential of its secondary on 1 star seekers, left something to be desired 😄

[pliant hatch]

I dunno if it's really bad RNG or if it has to be like that, but up to now I've only encountered one star Ulv and Bats in a Howling Cavern. And boy, do they hit hard!

[wary bane]

The Hildr dungeons are populated by starred enemies only so yeah it do be like that.

[shy marlin]

Starred bats are crazy ngl

[pliant hatch]

Starred bats are just as annoying as the normal ones. I had more problems with the Ulv.

And switching to the right weapons. 😊

So no permadeath runs for me until I can do that blindfolded.

[slow leaf]

I wish, got the taming pit all ready for him

[mortal oriole]

I wonder if Valheim will ever incorporate these great mods that exist into the actual game.
My favorite...https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/DualWield/

[slow leaf]

No, they won't.

No need to wonder.

[near furnace]

no we won't

[exotic cradle]

if you wanna ruin your game with mods that's on you don't inflict it on us

[fervent robin]

So I just died and I'm in a bad situation to get my body back. Is there some kind of "body recovery team" or is that just something I've heard?

[near furnace]

there are in the #1024264966712340510 🤔

or make a post of your own looking for help

[fervent robin]

Do I have to give them coins or something?

[near furnace]

doubt that

it wouldn't be ethical to demand money for it

[meager fossil]

My god, I just tried the demolisher. I swear that initial hit made my fun zone tickle

[near furnace]

and I would kick them from the server if they demanded IRL stuff 🤔

[fervent robin]

Oh yeah that would be wild. But I was thinking in-game coins.

[meager fossil]

Smiffe, I demand you have a good day

[fervent robin]

Which admittently sounds like an awesome way to get coins.

[near furnace]

do I got both a danish and a norwegian in chat? 🤔

[fervent robin]

I'm Norwegian.

[near furnace]

Nordic gang is assambling

[fervent robin]

Are you nordic?

[near furnace]

ofc

valheim developers are all swedes

[pliant hatch]

Pffff. With all due respect, but there are so many options in the game to get coins, at some point you don't even know what to do with them.
So asking for them as a "reward" for helping another player getting their body and gear back is kinda pointless.

[fervent robin]

Oh yeah that's true. I'm so jealous of Sweden's gaming industry, they've made so many great games.

[near furnace]

😄

[fervent robin]

[near furnace]

but their must be some cool norwegian games aswell 🤔

[exotic cradle]

Don't listen to Thorin he clearly doesn't decorate

[fervent robin]

I've heard good things about Owlboy, but I've never played it.

[meager fossil]

Im danish 😄

[fervent robin]

I can certainly tell.

Based on the profile picture, of course.

[near furnace]

but he is a norwegian king

[fervent robin]

True

[exotic cradle]

#general <-

i'm kidding don't yeet me plz

[fervent robin]

[meager fossil]

My GOD, Demolisher is my new favorite Mistland weapon

[fervent robin]

Is mistlands a lot harder than plains?

[meager fossil]

I just got chased on low stam by 6 seekers, including a 1 star. Using my Krom. I had to run and pray not to die. Then I remembered I had Demolisher 😂

[meager fossil]

Yes, Mistlands is a pain in the ass

Its gorgeous, but in my opinion, needs some tuning. But hey, Im 1 person 😄

[fervent robin]

😭

[exotic cradle]

unnerf mistlands plz

[fervent robin]

What can possibly be worse than the MOSQUITOS??? (I met the mosquitos recently and I spent hours upon hours trying to recover my body from those filthy insects)

[near furnace]

one pokey flying thingy

[fervent robin]

I felt pretty cool with full Bronze armor and stuff, and then I just instantly got popped like a balloon.

[meager fossil]

I never thought Mistland to be too "hard". Just chore-ish. Like going for ages to locate a mine, only to find a mineless outpost with bugs. Having to go through 20 to get enough for the queen. I love the idea of mistland, and the look. The place is gorgeous. But because of the mist, progress is naturally slowed down. I personally believe progressing should be a bit more consistant.

My favorite part of the Mistland, are the Gjall. My god, whoever made the sound design... gold medal

[exotic cradle]

go away stop reading here

[fervent robin]

[exotic cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwwLCM7Kzyc

[meager fossil]

Thanks!

[exotic cradle]

Wish IG made more videos like that, would love to hear the Queen sounds ❤️

[meager fossil]

Thanks, now all I can hear is a seal grunting when I meet one

No but in all seriousness, that was facinating. What a fantastic job he did

Im just about to head into Queens lair for the first time ever

[exotic cradle]

Oh my god I envy you, she has my favorite sounds in the game honestly

[meager fossil]

I look forward to it!

[tacit crystal]

Unnerfing Mistlands would mean changing Seeker AI back to being more aggressive and not circle around between attacks. Which would be great.

[shy marlin]

Yea if there's any mob that shouldn't do the circle behavior i feel like it's the seekers

and if there's any mob that should do the circle behavior it's 100% the fulings

[digital iron]

today marks my 700 hours of playtime of this game, bought it back in 2021

and yet still there are things left that i haven't done yet or tried out, like i have never tamed lox or rode one

[meager fossil]

I dont really mind if they reverse that. The combat aspect of mistlands was never an issue for me. Its the inconsistant progression

I LOVE Ratatosk mead.... holy heck

[snow flame]

mistlands is only a problem because of Gjalls, thats it... at least for me.

god i hate gjalls mainly because it has way too much hp even if i can hit the weakspot consistently

[slim remnant]

average bronze armor experience

[heady parcel]

Bronze armour looks cool as heck and is decent against greys and average swamp inhabitants, but anything hard hitting and you'll go squish. It has very underwhelming armour compared to the troll suit which it logically should out-armour by a lot, especially considering the hefty material cost to craft and upgrade it. As much as I like heavy armours, the last couple of times I have skipped it. The troll armour is just all-around better, a few measly points of armour behind - but none of the movement penalty.

I just wish I could dye it, the blue is...not my colour.

[light moat]

Hoping we see some armor customization options in 1.0 🙂

[heady parcel]

Amen to that

[shy marlin]

yes plz

[meager fossil]

What could that be specificly?

[heady parcel]

A simple dyeing system would be enough to me, like with the linen cloak and shields - when you craft it you choose what style to craft it in.

I could make a black troll suit and pretend it's Fenris, or a green one and run around the forest with a bow cosplaying Robin Hood. It's just cosmetics so it's not the biggest deal if they don't do it, but it would be nice.

[nocturne wolf]

If we can colour other capes that would be a good excuse to make the linen cape actually do something

[heady parcel]

Only reason I have ever crafted that is to make something to match armour suits on stands...

[meager fossil]

Ill rarely say no to more customization in these kinds of games

[heady parcel]

I don't think Valheims needs full on "transmog" as in various MMO:s, but simple dyeing would be nice.

[meager fossil]

Agreed

Oh btw! Im about to head into Queens lair for the first time. Going in melee. Lvl 2 krom, lvl 2 demolisher, major healing potions, poison mead, and lots of tasty meads, and 18 bile bombs. Any tips for the fight?

[cobalt canyon]

😬

[heady parcel]

Umm.... good luck? I haven't dared yet, so I know nothing

[nocturne wolf]

Can you also bring tonic of ratatosk or lightfoot mead? Extra movement is very helpful.

[meager fossil]

Oh yeah I forgot, I also have ratatosk with me. Feather cape and light

[merry pebble]

As Blob said 😄 and you might want more bombs, both types are usefull but bile are better ofcourse

[cobalt canyon]

no magic?

[meager fossil]

No, no magic. I wanted to try pure melee

[shy marlin]

Bring root harnesk

[meager fossil]

I got maxed out Chitin armor

Carapace*

Is it a bad idea to do this fight melee?

[shy marlin]

no not really

[nocturne wolf]

No, the only time she’s killed me was when I used magic
Although that’s just my fault because I had barely used magic before and didn’t really know what I was doing

[heady parcel]

From what I understand - a bit harder, but not undoable

[shy marlin]

but trust me, you're gonna want the root harnesk over the carapace chest

[meager fossil]

Damn it.

[shy marlin]

What forsaken power are you bringing in?

[meager fossil]

Mass

[merry pebble]

Meh, carapace is totally fine 😄 but root might be better

[shy marlin]

It's objectively better

[nocturne wolf]

If you have root harnesk you can swap that for Eikthyr

[merry pebble]

Never tried it for her so was not sure 😄

[meager fossil]

Ill try with carapace. I cant be bothered trying to farm to root..

Is the fight a kite fight? Avoid attack, run in and normal attack then run away?

[nocturne wolf]

You’re mostly running toward rather than away because she can teleport

[heady parcel]

Aaargh that damned scrap pile that has spawned where I can only swim, it haunts me

[meager fossil]

Thats pretty cool lmfao

[shy marlin]

Just charge in, you have all the tools you need to succeed

Keep in mind you can leave the area (Assuming you don't have no boss portals on) at any time

[meager fossil]

Oh last question... the bile bombs, what scenario are those used for?

[shy marlin]

You'll quickly find out

[meager fossil]

Ive never used one so I dont know what they do. Ive just been told to bring them

[shy marlin]

But bile and ooze bombs are very effective at killing low hp creatures

[meager fossil]

Oh, but for that I have demolisher

Unless seeker also dies from them?

[shy marlin]

Bombs have the option of being ranged which the demolisher doesn't, and they use less stamina

[heady parcel]

I think my character got a concussion first time I swung that

[meager fossil]

Man, I let out a huge "what the fuck" first time I tried the demolisher 😂 startled my gf next to me

Its an absolute beast and I love it

ANYWAYS! Enough yapping. Time to fight this disgusting thing. If I die, I blame Blobicycake

[nocturne wolf]

Why me?

[meager fossil]

Not sure

[heady parcel]

It's just your fault, don't worry about it!

[shy marlin]

why not

[smoky widget]

Whats the best way to use magic in vanilla valheim? I've heard people say it's underwhelming and after playing around with it a bit i have to agree. Am i missing something? Is magic meant to be more of a complementary thing to a sword & shield?

[cobalt canyon]

which things are you using?

[cinder sun]

what is the best way to grind bow levels? spam click as fast as you can or fully charge shots? (do you get more xp with more damage or is just hitting enough)

[nocturne wolf]

You always gain the same xp per hit so low charge is better

[cinder sun]

you get the same amount of xp on low charge vs high charge?

[heady parcel]

#screenshots message This here crypt is blocked. I can't get close enough to press E to enter, so is this crypt borked or is there some other trick? I've tried rolling, but nah.

[cobalt canyon]

bring multiple bows, crude/finewood, all wood arrows, plink bonemass a bunch

[meager fossil]

Wow, this fight is bullshit lol

I hate add heavy boss fights with a passion. Im not fighting the queen, Im fighting adds

[merry pebble]

Thats what the bombs are for pretty much 😄 + you have demolisher

[meager fossil]

That doesnt help much with 4 seekers around and the queen taking half my health without my sacrifice buff

[shy marlin]

[meager fossil]

I hate when adds takes the focus away from the boss in any game.

[smoky widget]

I have been using the full Embla set, fully upgraded, all the different staffs & eitr potion, basically kitted for a full magic build. Yet i still find it underwhelming & not sustainable to run full time

[heady parcel]

I agree, boss fights are more interesting when you are actually focused on the boss instead of constantly having to manage waves of adds. But if there is one boss that makes sense having them I think it's the queen of the bugs.

[meager fossil]

Yeah I highly dislike this boss fight...

I dont want to sound dramatic, but thats the kind of boss fight that makes me dislike playing. Especially after having endured Mistlands for so long

[heady parcel]

Still - seekers are pretty hard-hitting, nasty mobs as they are, especially in groups of three or more. Add to that a giant, hard-hitting bug queen on top of that - there's a reason I'm procrastrinating that fight like crazy. In the end I'll probably just cheeze it with eitr like somebody did...

[meager fossil]

I might just take a break from the game. Mistlands already exhausted me. But this fight was a massive disappointment.

When I return Ill most likely find a way to cheat the fight

[shy marlin]

There's a pretty easy queen cheese strat

[heady parcel]

I really feel motivated for my own attempt right now 😄

[cobalt canyon]

I'm bout to sail to her on my world

[meager fossil]

Maybe so, but honestly, if people are enticed to find ways to cheese a fight, then the boss fights design is flawed

[shy marlin]

Gonna be real, people cheese her because they're speedrunning or they're bad at the game, it doesn't speak to the design of the fight at all

[cobalt canyon]

So....I did ask "no magic"....maybe give it another look?

[meager fossil]

All it needs is to tone down the add spawn drasticly. Adds should never be the high point

[meager fossil]

Im heavily invested into my build. Having to now build magic up from the bottom for a boss is silly. I dont have the motivation for that

[cobalt canyon]

You don't need much

[heady parcel]

I think the general consensus is that the Queen fight is overtuned. Not everyone will agree and I can't give an opionion on it yet, too scared. I'm a pretty mediocre player in anything requiring quick reactions and finger acrobatics, so I know I will struggle.

[cobalt canyon]

Bubble staff is good though

[shy marlin]

hate to say it but it's a brutal survival game the later biomes shouldn't be a walk in the park

[merry pebble]

You really dont need to 😄

[meager fossil]

You can have a boss fight like queen be hard without drowning you in adds. Its bad boss design

[shy marlin]

That's just not true, you're just not good at handling adds i'm sorry but that's the facts

[heady parcel]

Not disagreeing - what I like about Valheim though is that it is not punishing me for pausing at this point and just going about doing stuff until I gather enough courage

[meager fossil]

Thats absolutely true. Its just my opinion based on my skills and what I enjoy

[shy marlin]

i've beaten the queen with no rested, armor, food, potions and much more and managed the adds perfectly fine

[shy marlin]

Then change the difficulty settings rather than say that it's bad design 🙂

[meager fossil]

Lol no. Everything else up to this point has been fine difficulty wise. Hell the boss itself has some cool mechanics. I just find it overtuned in terms of add spawn

Its not "wrong" to think something is bad design, and acknowledge you dont enjoy it

[heady parcel]

Considering you're the one surviving in Ashlands on a no-food run, I'd say you are way beyond the skill level of the average player though 😉

[shy marlin]

im aware but that's not my point at all

[meager fossil]

I think the main reason Im a bit annoyed, is that I actually enjoyed the first 5 minutes of the fight. Her attacks was cool, she hit hard and the occasional adds wasnt an issue. It felt like a balanced, difficult fight.

[shy marlin]

Part of the queen fight is learning how to handle the adds well during the queen fight, the adds are a part of her mechanics

Once you learn how to take everything down fast while fighting the queen it makes for an amazing fight

[meager fossil]

Without wanting to sound toxic, you did use your ability to do the fight without rested, food etc, as a reason to why it wasnt bad design.

[heady parcel]

Anyway, I'll give her a shot, eventually. I'd like to go in not knowing anything, but feels like it's too late at this point. I'll give it a go doing it "right" and once I get too frustrated just cheeze it.

[meager fossil]

Look I acknowledge that Im 1 person, with what might just be an unpopular opinion. But i cant change the fact I did not like the fight.

Ive always disliked add heavy boss fights, as in my opinion, the boss should be the focus.

[shy marlin]

I mean you came accross a roadblock and rather than try to overcome and critically think your way through you just slapped "Bad design" on it

[meager fossil]

Yeah, because I find the roadblock bullshit lol. Ive beaten Dark souls 3 and Elden Ring numerous times, as well as other hard games. Its not about roadblocks for me.,

[gray sand]

You can have a boss fight like queen be hard without drowning you in adds.

Translation:
You can have an adds-based boss be hard without adds.

🤔 Sentence makes no logical sense.

[meager fossil]

I might have just phrased myself poorly there

What I mean is, I dislike any boss fights that rely on adds

[finite nimbus]

deep north this year?

[gray sand]

Ok. I can understand you not liking adds-based bosses.

But that is preference. That does not make them bad design.

[merry pebble]

We really dont know 😄

[meager fossil]

Thats objectively true

But its bad boss design in my subjective opinion

[finite nimbus]

i need at least 10 more biomes right now

[gray sand]

You will not get what you need.

[meager fossil]

Yeah isnt Deep North the last biome?

[cobalt canyon]

.....||mods?||

[merry pebble]

Yes, that was Sevs point 😄

[meager fossil]

I dont think they said anything about adding more after

[gray sand]

🤢

[merry pebble]

Nobody needs those 😄

[shy marlin]

.

[gray sand]

We did discover the only one I would consider yesterday.

[cobalt canyon]

the modded "finished Ashlands" before the actual thing released looked pretty cool

[gray sand]

I was already bringing it up.

[gray sand]

Cool. Then they are good enough to go make their own games.

Oh wait.. 😏

[cobalt canyon]

That would mean you would need to pay them for it

[merry pebble]

Why not? Good work deserves pay, we usually pay for games 😄

[meager fossil]

You really dont like mods do you? lol

[gray sand]

When they invent a word stronger than "loathe" I will be able to properly express my feelings. 😁

[meager fossil]

😂

Why do you dislike them so much?

[cobalt canyon]

ok but why?

[gray sand]

I have been banned from discords for explaining it, given how deep seated and apparently controversial my views are.

So, I will not get into it. Just accept that I dislike them in the same vein you dislike adds bosses.

[meager fossil]

Fair

We all have our peeves

[gray sand]

Facts.

Fuck Greylings...

[meager fossil]

And their mothers

[olive oxide]

Thats real as hell though

[nocturne wolf]

Greylings are great. What else do I hit with my high-knockback weapons?

[gray sand]

I'm fine with Greydwarves. And Brutes. And Shamans.

It's just the little 🤬ing mother🤬ers that are annoying 🤬s ...

[meager fossil]

😂

[olive oxide]

Friend keeps bothering me about it and i dont know the answer cause me stupid
Is there a way to change the dodge keybind

[meager fossil]

Thats how i feel about the mosquitos and drakes

[shy marlin]

nope you will have a 2 button dodge roll and you WILL enjoy it

-valheim devs

[gray sand]

Squitos are simple.
Just front-kick them and they die. 😏

[meager fossil]

I can say the same about greylings 😂

[gray sand]

I genuinely don't see the issue with it. 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

It's a bit boomer to have a 2 button dodge roll in the year 2025 ngl that's all

[gray sand]

Squitos don't infinitely spawn and wander around my base destroying things.

[meager fossil]

Dont you have a barricade or something?

[nocturne wolf]

I've never had a problem with it either, it uses a combination of keys my fingers are already on so I don't have to move them anywhere to roll. Plus, jumping is just one key

[gray sand]

I have played multiple 2024 games this year that have two-button dodges 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

I don't have a problem with it either it's just a bit meh

[gray sand]

No. I just move to Plains where greylings don't exist 😁

[heady parcel]

I dislike how mods have become - in any game - the default thing for many players. They get a new game, open it up - and before even playing they hop on forums or reddit or discords and ask what the best mods are. Like, try the game as is first, you might like it just the way it is? Then they play a game heavily modded, and stuff everywhere is broken - and then suddenly it's the game's devs fault that this person can't get the game to work. Not that they added 75 mods without even reading the instructions. And it is somehow even worse with server owners who can't even bother to learn how things work before they start adding mods, then it is somehow the modder's fault when they can't get 5 incompatible mods to run together. But all this has little to do with Valheim, so I'll shut up now.

[gray sand]

You make good points. No need to shut up.

[nocturne wolf]

What annoys me about mods here is nobody understands that updates WILL break mods

[shy marlin]

Dunno I'm a certified variety gamer and valheim so far has been the only 2 button dodge roll game i've ever played, what games had a 2 dodge roll button that you played?

[finite nimbus]

mods are great like auto stash items into chests with a hotkey or crafting without needing to pull out the items from the chests

[gray sand]

Avowed has it.

[shy marlin]

Word maybe i'm just biased and haven't found any other games that have a 2 button dodge roll 😂

[gray sand]

Scale issue 😏

[heady parcel]

Hehe killing mobs with the pickaxe is strangely satisfying

[nocturne wolf]

I can't think of any other games with a two-button dodge either

[gray sand]

If it was random 2 buttons I would call bullshit.

But it being block->dodge, makes perfect sense.

[nocturne wolf]

What if it's two randomised buttons every time you roll

[gray sand]

That would be aids.

[heady parcel]

DayZ doesn't have a dodge roll, but to sidestep in melee you need to have raised arms (hold RMB) and tap Q or E to sidestep. Vastly different game, but still

[shy marlin]

yea i don't have a huge issue with the block dodge thing (it effectively makes it a 1 button dodge roll if i'm being honest) but a more valid criticism is that rn it's impossible to change certain keybinds in valheim

[gray sand]

Early access 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

Still no bind for neck petting

[gray sand]

Can you change the jump button?

[shy marlin]

not sure

I wanna be able to change the hotbar tho that's my big thing

[gray sand]

Have you played it with controller?

[nocturne wolf]

Most of my playtime is with a controller, I think the 'console' layout is perfect

[gray sand]

I tried it for this run.
Building is absolute cheeks compared to mouse/keyboard, but the rest of the game feels really good.

Hotbar is very different though, so "being able to change" it may not be done if they are trying to keep parity between the 2 input methods.

[shy marlin]

V rising has the ability to change the hotbar on both pc and ps5

[azure yacht]

There isn't any general consensus.

That fight is perfectly fine

[gray sand]

PS5? I'd rather mod. 😏

[azure yacht]

That's the biome you find magic in, it's not any different from doing the same for any other playstyle at the very beginning

[vocal rivet]

Can't recall ever hearing that.

[heady parcel]

Of course you are right - let me rephrase: I have heard this said by many others, while many others think it is just fine. What is obvious is that the fight is very difficult, and more so for some players who, for whatever reason, have a hard time dealing with its specific mechanics. That leads to frustration. Now, personally I will be trying it right until I get too frustrated, then I'll try lowering difficulty, and if that fails I'll just cheeze the bejeezus out of it with eitr.

[gray sand]

Have to be in voice channels if you want to hear 😏😉😉

[vocal rivet]

The game is supposed to be difficult. Just checking you knew that.

[shy marlin]

I think it is pretty common for most people to consider the queen to be the hardest boss tho

But overtuned? Nah

[gray sand]

Just drop your EITR balls and let them kill her.
Simple.

[heady parcel]

I'm still about 40 bile bombs short of my target number before I go there

[gray sand]

400 EITR spend time dropping them individually (wish we had a button for that).
Spread them out across the floor so she can't avoid the damage.

[heady parcel]

Hahha yeahg if all else fails I'll do just that

[gray sand]

I haven't killed Fader with that method yet, but it is on my list to try.

[heady parcel]

Got a good few stacks of eitr lying around still after crafting everything

[shy marlin]

Fader is really easy to cheese

All you need is a morgen cave nearby and 6 wood and it’s legit gg

[gray sand]

Best I can do is 4. 😏

[teal sparrow]

Do you think Golems were original alternative source of Silver, because they got silver veins visual in them?

[gray sand]

Possible.

[grizzled dove]

Does anybody in here know if it's possible to create a completely customized seed, I found one with a really great valley in it. That's surrounded by mountains but it doesn't have really big land masses and I'm trying to do this massive community project, we're being sponsored and everything. Sure that I have a good seed, because we've already started, but I plan on getting the infinity Hammer to move it all over to this new seed if it's possible. If not, I guess I'll have to deal with the one that we have, but I would prefer to be able to have a fully customized one so that I can build it around the lore that we're creating for this world.

[heady parcel]

Is it possible for crypts to generate with entirely inaccessible rooms? I can hear mobs still active in here, but after going through the whole place three times there is no room I haven't checked

[shy marlin]

You’re likely hearing a nearby dungeon

[gray sand]

Yes. Also crypts are next to other crypts. So you can hear things from them.

[merry pebble]

Seeds are pretty much random

[heady parcel]

Aaah cool, didn't know that. Yeah there's another one not that far away.

[gray sand]

On ground distance is irrelevant as they are all spawned in a giant cluster about 3km up in the sky.

[grizzled dove]

Damnit and there's no program to make a custom seed??

[gray sand]

Imagine wanting non-random in a game based on random...

[nocturne wolf]

What do you mean exactly by a custom seed?

[shy marlin]

You can make custom maps with mods. how? I’m not sure but I’ve seen people do it, could ask in #mods-discussion

[grizzled dove]

It's for a community project

[grizzled dove]

Sweet ok

[heady parcel]

Body piles in these crypts are pretty poor at producing draugr

Is there a set amount they can spawn over time? I imagined there would be a top number of active mobs, and if you kill them off another spawns. And sometimes they behave like that - but now. Stood here looking at it for a few minutes after killing the last one, and nothing

[rotund parrot]

Spawners in crypts and burial chambers seem to act different but the ones on the map seem to spawn 2 maximum if they stay nearby but they can spawn more if they move away

[gray sand]

Best place to farm draugr is in their villages tbh.

[heady parcel]

Yeah. It spat out five more after about five minutes, then took a break again. Got bored and destroyed it..

[olive oxide]

Are the silly rocks still in the game

[merry pebble]

Rocky is with us indeed 😄

[regal spoke]

#WWRD

[olive oxide]

How do i find one :(

I picked up a "rock" and just got a normal stone

[merry pebble]

Picked up as in pressing E on it and was it saying "Rock" when howering over it? And did it look bigger and smoother than normal rock?

[olive oxide]

Ccouldnt tell

[merry pebble]

It would be noticable so probably not 😄 have a look in unexplored areas of meadows and black forest beyond 1000m from centre and look for bigger, lighter in colour and smoother stone that says "Rock" when howering over it with cursor 😄

Two-star archer casually strolling around the swamp in daylight. Thought they only spawned at night? Or is that elites?

[merry pebble]

At random in swamps only at night, in the pit with stairs anytime and from body piles anytime (elites) archers doesent matter

[nocturne wolf]

Draugr elites only spawn at night. Most enemies with stars aren't affected by the time of day.

[olive oxide]

Nighttime so i couldnt tell, but it did say rock so :(

to me, valhiem doesnt feel fun without cheating
Dunno why, but when you have people to play with and everyone has lives (and cant play video games all day), dying in the middle of nowhere even while prepared. something WILL always go wrong, and it just eats limited time and makes no one want to play anymore, Before anyone just starts arguing, I know portals do exist, we use them. The problem is that getting somewhere that takes almost an hour to sail to and finally making it there, then because everyone was doing other things to pass time, no one was prepared to get deleted off rip. We died before anyone could put a portal down, and even if we did, it would have been instantly destroyed by whatever killed the person who placed it.
yeah, we could get mods
yeah, we could just stop playing
no one wants to mod the game
But the game is fun and addicting sometimes, it just gets absolutely ruined by stupid nonsense every couple of minutes
I never lose hope, but my friends alyways do
it just sucks

[merry pebble]

1. Might not be the right type of game for you
2. Might not be the right type of friends to play Valheim with

[slow leaf]

"Even while prepared"... doesn't place a safe portal...

[spare patio]

cant place a safe portal when getting to shore

its not possible when everything starts murdering you😭

[slow leaf]

That's why you don't sail directly into a hostile area that you cant handle

[spare patio]

we didnt really know....

[slow leaf]

Part of that being prepared thing

You don't know which biomes you can handle?

[spare patio]

we were on our way to moder and there was plains biome around the mountain where the boss arena was

[spare patio]

we did

[merry pebble]

Then... Why?

[slow leaf]

So when you saw Plains you just said oh well

[spare patio]

couldnt tell it was plains cuz it was night when we got to shore

it kinda looks like a meadow from far away

[slow leaf]

The minimap tells you what biome you're in...

[spare patio]

that was realized too late

[slow leaf]

So the really prepared team doesn't seem very prepared

[spare patio]

again Im not here to argue, I just wanted to get my point our there

[spare patio]

prepared is as prepared as we knew how to get

not gonna blame anyone else

[slow leaf]

If you were prepared for Moder then you can handle the Plains, that is afterall where you're going once shes dead

[spare patio]

again

if it didnt take almost an hour to get to the island

people wouldnt have gone to do somthing else to wait

and once we got there they would have been ready to take on said threats

[gray sand]

What stage of the game are you at if I may ask?

[spare patio]

1. no one had eaten food before we got to shore
2. no one expected to be jumped
3. our sailor didnt even tell us anything

[spare patio]

pre-moder

[gray sand]

Ok that explains the long sail times, just checking.

Also not eating food is like... the cardinal sin (unless you are Scales).

[spare patio]

I already figured out a solution to our problem,but it wasnt until after all my friends already rage quit

[spare patio]

when it takes almost an hour to get somewhere, the food buff runs out

it was a mix of a bunch of factors

thats why all my friends just enjoy cheating

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message Hence my second point, they should know by now that dying is very natural way of learning things in Valhiem 🙂

[spare patio]

we've played harder games, this one seems like some things just arent my fault

[spare patio]

oh, I was prepared to die

clearly no one else was

[merry pebble]

Oh i am talking about them 😄 you seem like a pretty reasonable person

[spare patio]

^

[gray sand]

Yeah I was trying to avoid poking at that 😄

[spare patio]

I've also done most of the stuff in our world so my friends basically rely on me to do everything

im starting to feel like I just need better people to play with....

[gray sand]

-# Would recommend getting better friends, but that is just my personal opinion on what I have read.

[merry pebble]

Again my second point 😄 sadly it is like that sometimes

[spare patio]

but I also bought them the game because they all wanted it.......

[gray sand]

That reinforces my recommendation 😄

[spare patio]

even then I still resort to cheating sometimes

[cobalt canyon]

How big's the group?

[spare patio]

4 people

time constraint is a problem, even for me

[cobalt canyon]

Feel like 4 people should be able to manage a single portal

[slow leaf]

Asksvin attack eachother? Wtf

[cobalt canyon]

Not directly I don't think

[merry pebble]

Lots of enemies have enabled friendly fire in ashlands, yes

[cobalt canyon]

Just a lil collateral damage

[slow leaf]

Nope they definitely aggro eachother
