[slow leaf]

Almost just lost my 1 star in my taming pit by adding a second

[merry pebble]

That should not be the case, might be a bug or moded thing

[slow leaf]

No mods

[merry pebble]

Still should not be like that, tamed mobs do not attack the same species even when it isnt tamed. Might want to put message into one of the bugs channels.

[slow leaf]

2 asksvin in an 8m deep pit, one of them 1 star, one normal. Neither is tamed, started killing eachother

[merry pebble]

You sure they didnt want to attack you?

[vital umbra]

has there been atleast a year stated in which the deep north would be released in

[slow leaf]

Yes I was outside the pit and sneaking. One actually went de-aggro and the other asksvin got a major crit on him

[merry pebble]

Nope

[cobalt canyon]

nope

[vital umbra]

🫨

[shy marlin]

wouldn't expect deep north in 2025 if i were a betting man

[vital umbra]

i see

[merry pebble]

Weird, I would really try the bug channels if somebody doesent know what could cause it.

[lusty dirge]

With a recording, if you can get one

[slow leaf]

True, I don't record normally

[vital umbra]

has the dev team increased in size since launch

[slow leaf]

Yes

[merry pebble]

https://www.valheimgame.com/faq/ all the way to the bottom 🙂

[vital umbra]

🤔

okay den

[olive oxide]

RELEASE MEEEEE

Nah im somewhat used to it cause i mean

I’ve been playing for a while so i’d hope (i take breaks and then restart when i come back so i never make it far) i was used to it
But my friends been complaining about it so

i always stop at the swamp cause that shit makes me lowkey mad

[short raven]

After way too many hours.. sunny forest, dark forest, mountains and now the coming artic... WHY ARE THERE STILL NO BEARS!!!

[trail idol]

Any community servers I can join?

[pliant hatch]

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

[trail idol]

Lookong for a pve server to learn the game and have some. Company

Ok ty

#general message

[short raven]

Thanks for that! Appreciated.

[ashen geyser]

What is the Dvergr trophy ?is it like a piece of hair from their beard perhaps?

[gray sand]

It is a beard, yes.

[cobalt canyon]

"The fact that you would consider hanging this on your wall is frankly rather disturbing"

did I get it word for word?

ah not even close

[shy marlin]

tfw when bonemass actually took longer to kill than fader did on my no food run lol

[tepid prawn]

Fader kill with 0 eitr , impressive

[knotty veldt]

How liveable is the plains biome?

I just killed Moder and am now looking to move my base, But i can't decide whether to expand my current one, move it to plains (this is what I kinda wanna do), or take over a dragur village I

I need some advice with this one

[fair sand]

You could join mine if you want dm me

[ember panther]

Highly recommend it. You need to have a plains base for wheat and barley anyway. Stake out a good spot and spawn proof it. You'll be fine. Worst thing there really are lox

[knotty veldt]

and these stupid mosqitoes, im legit just sailing by this plains to scope how big it is out and had one of these mfs chase my boat down

[knotty veldt]

also what do I do to spawn proof an area

[ember panther]

Place campfires or workbenches. They prevent enemy spawn in an area

[gray sand]

Best place to live.

[knotty veldt]

sweet lol, its my fav biome based on looks

its so simply designed and I like simple

[nocturne wolf]

It is a nice biome but there are no neck ponds

[knotty veldt]

lmao

is that a bad thing?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes I love necks

[knotty veldt]

oh lol

I got another question, are lox fast?

like faster than running

[near furnace]

they have alot more stamina 🤔

[gray sand]

Enemies have stamina bars? 👀

[near furnace]

and you'll usually cry when they die

[near furnace]

the tamed lox has

[gray sand]

So we make them worse by taming them? 🤔

[near furnace]

it's one way to say it 😄

[shy marlin]

i mean enemies sorta kinda have a stam bar

they have attacks that have cd which is what stamina functionally is

[knotty veldt]

well I had 2 staring me down as I left the plains and they looked mean asf

[gray sand]

Sorta not.
Have, or have not.
There is no sorta.
😏

[near furnace]

I would probably not get into melee with 2 lox at the same time 😄

[shy marlin]

btw do you know the command for clear mountain weather? trynna get some clean lookin mountain shots but it's always a blizzard

[near furnace]

env clear?

or just type env and then press tab

[shy marlin]

ah i dumb, ty

[near furnace]

np

[nocturne wolf]

Each enemy attack has an individual cooldown, but stamina is shared between all player attacks

[knotty veldt]

I gotta stop sailing and texting

[shy marlin]

yea that's what it's kinda 🤔

[knotty veldt]

got myself into a bit of a pickle

[ember panther]

Lox bite does a ton of damage. And they are kinda fast. But you can outrun them

[near furnace]

usually you can jump of the boat and push it

[knotty veldt]

nah Im a master boater

[near furnace]

nice

I'm not

I pust that one

alot

[knotty veldt]

I manuvered my way out of it with the reverse

[vital umbra]

does combat difficulty in world settings affect number of starred mobs?

[shy marlin]

Yea

[vital umbra]

that sounds like something i want tbh

free build, portal items, 2x resources, minimum death penalty, minimum raids, yeah i'm something of a gamer 😎

why do tower shields knock things back so far

[nocturne wolf]

The block force stat is knockback dealt to enemies when blocking their melee attacks

And tower shields have it much higher than anything else

[vital umbra]

that was something i never paid attention to, 1000 hours without tower shields 🥴

also are the skills tab in-game ever going to be like....better?, to actually tell what they do without looking at the wiki lol.

[pseudo citrus]

can you place shields on the side of a longboat?

[nocturne wolf]

No

[pseudo citrus]

well damn

[vital umbra]

Are tower shields better for bosses

[nocturne wolf]

It would be very expensive and also kinda pointless

[pseudo citrus]

expensive for the devs you mean?

cosmetics aint pointless btw

[nocturne wolf]

No, to make all those shields just to leave them on your ship

[pseudo citrus]

takes nothing to make wooden shields either

[nocturne wolf]

They cost less stamina than rolling and jumping, so as long as you have enough health to not be staggered they can be useful. But they will slow you down making walking and sprinting less effective for dodging attacks at what would be an even lower stamina cost.

You will also be pushed back by high-knockback attacks which doesn’t happen when rolling

[vocal rivet]

Is it unclear what skills do?

[shy marlin]

I mean tbf yea there's a lot of things that the UI does not state what skills do

[nocturne wolf]

Some numbers on skills such as run and jump would be nice

[shy marlin]

i don't think it's an unpopular take that the UI is pretty unclear at times

[vocal rivet]

That's a much broader complaint than was being made. I agree, it definitely could do with more polish.

[vital umbra]

bow skill, "Damage with bows"

😩

where is the mention of the knockback, stamina usage, and draw time.

[tame merlin]

hi

[lunar sapphire]

Mobile Sailing - Casual drifting kills

[knotty veldt]

Kills me 😭

[slow leaf]

No, better off parrying

[gray sand]

Parrying bosses is a literal waste of stamina.

[slow leaf]

Hmm seems your right, don't know why I thought parrying took less stam than blocking

[gray sand]

Dodging > Blocking for bosses.
But if you are committed to blocking all their attacks, tower shields are good.

[slow leaf]

I don't usually do either anyway, easy to walk out of attacks

[shy marlin]

why dodge when s key do trick

[gray sand]

Because my controller doesn't have an S key 😏

[shy marlin]

uh skill issue

[gray sand]

You mean kill iue? (Given the key being abent) 😛

[balmy seal]

Well it can give you a couple of seconds to get a hit in

[gray sand]

So does blocking, and costs less.

Parrying bosses is a waste of stamina as they cannot be staggered.

[balmy seal]

Oh

[gray sand]

I didn't create a whole spreadsheet on blocking or anything 😏

[balmy seal]

I started using ooze bombs for the first time last night. They’re so effective at clearing out difficult areas. I’m surprised I hadn’t tried them before

[gray sand]

Although I do have plans for when 1.0 drops to change the parry column to block out the bosses and just say "Parrying Bosses is a Waste of Stamina" instead of providing the numbers.

[haughty leaf]

I just started playing.. up to the plains right now. The base I have I built a wall all the way around it. But since I started adding buildings some of them are close to the walls... So I just added a 2nd outside wall that's 10m out from the first wall. Now in the area between them if I plant crops with the crops take damage.. from like trolls ect?

[gray sand]

If trolls smash things and crops are around, yes.

[balmy seal]

Ditches are best for defence. Walls are breakable

[slender rover]

ditches if on high ground, ramparts (raised earth) if near sea level

[balmy seal]

I like an unimpeded view

[haughty leaf]

ya I tried one.. but the way my walls are I cant dig a ditch to make it nice and straight.. I know how to but it would not run along my walls

[slender rover]

Or you can do like me, mine approximately 3 million stone from the top of a mountain, and raise an entire island from the seabed as a base, lol

[balmy seal]

Count ourselves lucky there’s no lox invasions. Those things are ridiculously op and can obliterate anything

[haughty leaf]

I just break those tall giant stones on the plains for rocks

[slender rover]

That works if you can find a bunch in the same vicinity, but the plains mobs are a lot more irritating to fend off while mining.

[haughty leaf]

well thats true... those tar things and a 2 star little gobblin guy got me a few times last time I was out

[slender rover]

yeah, a portal on top of a high mountain makes stone harvesting much simpler

[slow leaf]

Anyone else find it odd that we never got steel in this game?

[vocal rivet]

No?

[tepid prawn]

We got 98-99.5% of the way there to steel....

[gray sand]

I'm pretty sure what they have labeled as "iron" is steel.

Because making weapons/armor out of pure Fe with zero C content would not bode well.

[vocal rivet]

I think they'd have called it steel if they meant steel.

[gray sand]

Eh

There is a lot of "we name things primarily so players are familiar with terms" that happens in gaming.

And Bronze -> Iron is a classic.

[vocal rivet]

But iron weapons existed...

[gray sand]

They were work-hardened, rather than quench-hardened, which made them about the same or only slightly better in terms of strength and hardness to earlier bronze swords.

Given the damage difference is only like +4... I sit corrected.

Iron is not better enough to be steel in Valheim 😄

Deep North Steel? 👀

[vocal rivet]

Would steel be stronger than black metal or flametal? We don't really know as they don't exist.

[slender rover]

I'd always assumed black metal was effectively cast iron, but in retrospect that doesn't make any sense from a weaponsmithing perspective

[gray sand]

Too green to be cast iron 😏

[slender rover]

That's the fuling blood mixed in 😄

[gray sand]

Green people drop green metal, yes.

[vocal rivet]

From...their butts?

[slender rover]

Must be sizeable pockets in those loincloths

[gray sand]

Size means nothing to the force.

They are a race of Yoda's.

[vocal rivet]

Yoda's what?

[gray sand]

Fuling 😏

[tepid prawn]

does it matter about iron or steel? it does not to me and iron sounds more viking-y to me personally, doesn't matter what was meant to be, technically bog iron is also different from other iron types chemically if someone wants to be nitpicky about it

[gray sand]

Wait... what if Yoda was Yagluth 👀

[vocal rivet]

Yoda's Fuling? That doesn't make sense.

[vocal rivet]

We live for nitpicky.

[tepid prawn]

true, some do (that sort of rhymes, wow)

[gleaming radish]

I think of black metal as carbon steel

[shy marlin]

It's a comparison, yoda sorta kinda looks like a fuling

[vocal rivet]

Yes, I got that bit.

[lunar sapphire]

[balmy seal]

It always cracks me up when berserkers pump their clubs into the air and yell. It looks like they’re celebrating something.

[tepid prawn]

"I'm so tough shoot me full of arrows please" I call it

[balmy seal]

giggle

[robust token]

That's the battlecry

[near furnace]

What is his spawn command?

It will tell you

[gray sand]

/spawn Yoda

[balmy seal]

Yoda broke bad

[idle atlas]

Anyone else struggling to the get the mod that lets you fly when building to work?

[lunar sapphire]

Best to use the #mods-issues channel for help with mods

[merry pebble]

Why would you use mod for that? You can fly in vanilla

[wooden tapir]

thats not a mod thats just dev commands

and it has to be on YOUR world

[fiery jacinth]

Yo, I'd like some opinions:
Lightning or Blood infusion for Slayer? I can't quite decide 🤔

[azure yacht]

Blood

[fiery jacinth]

any specific reasons why blood over lightning?

[gray sand]

Lightning unless you plan to be missing 40% of your health at all times.

Reason is higher damage.

[azure yacht]

Because lightning benefits more from attack speed and slayer doesn't have high attack speed.

Blood benefits for high dmg and slayer is one of the highest-dmg weapons in the biome

[fiery jacinth]

ah, so you'd run lightning on the axes instead, ye?

[gray sand]

I would run lightning on both.

The only time the blood enchantment really shines is if you are running either the vomiting sniper build or blood magic were you can use the bubble to protect yourself while keeping your health low.

[azure yacht]

They are the best weapons to have the lightning on

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[proven marsh]

When is lightning better than jade

[nocturne wolf]

When the enemy is already immobilised or you have a group of enemies close to each other

[proven marsh]

Ty

[balmy seal]

Bloody hell that miniature little punk ||Zil|| is tough

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I learned quickly that full on "I tank with mah face hawhaw" frontal assault was not the best strategy.

(it rarely is, I know, but still..)

Sometimes you just want to smash. But alas, best to not do it at the worst of times

[gray sand]

Always?

[nocturne wolf]

Jade can be very strong, immobilising an enemy allows you to kill them safely (and quickly) from behind if they don't have an attack that can trigger that far back, which in ashlands is only the valkyrie spin.

[gray sand]

Jade is strongest on bows in my opinion.

Rooting people from range and keeping them at range.

[balmy seal]

Good times

[echo wind]

Please becky

[tacit crystal]

My personal fav trio: Klossen, Thunder axes and Bleeding Slayer.

[gray sand]

My favorite trio is Smiffe, Subject, and Winter 😏

[nocturne wolf]

Neck, 1-star Neck and 2-star Neck

[snow flame]

is jade also good on CROSSbows? Or is it better to go for normal non elemental crossbow?

[gray sand]

Elemental beats non-elemental.

[nocturne wolf]

The only benefit of a flametal weapon when gemstones are available is durability

[gray sand]

But is 6 a.m. so I sleep now.

[balmy seal]

I keep hearing Wraiths hissing outside my base at night, but there's nothing there when I have a look.

I'm being terrorised

[lusty crescent]

Imagine that except it's those STUPID GOBLINS LAUGHING

That's what I got

[robust token]

Chains and Black Metal delivery

[slow leaf]

What's the best way to take out a charred fortress without damaging it so I can use it as a base?

[nimble moss]

shoot it with crossbows from height nearby, walk in afterwards - that's how I do it on speedruns - works well and would achieve your objective...

[slow leaf]

How about the central tower, can you get into then without destroying the tower and ending up with a weird floating tower

[nimble moss]

you can drop it from the top hole into the center bit if you want

[slow leaf]

I'm assuming you need to bring a portal with you then to get out?

[nimble moss]

you can dig your way out as well - then fill it in afterwards.

Or you can use wood on the inside to get back out the top

[vital kayak]

Can someone help me my boar is not taming it's been 3 irl days now

[slow leaf]

Yeah that sounds like a plan

[slow leaf]

Does it have a '!' over its head? Animals only tame when calm

[vital kayak]

Yes that's the problem it doesn't go away It's always frightened

[slow leaf]

Take away any fire neaby, boars are afraid of fire

[balmy seal]

Does the Bog Witch spawn at a similar distance from the world centre as the other traders do?

[vital kayak]

Wait does it get the frightened if any fire is nearby

[balmy seal]

Yes fire scares animals and prevents taming.

Once tamed they don't mind fire

[vital kayak]

Haha okay thanks 😄

What is the range of it?

[slow leaf]

10m

[azure plume]

Yeah somewhat, both worlds ive been on had the bogwitch spawn in a swamp about 2-3 islands away

can be more, but its generally the same

[sinful ivy]

has anyone ever had a sunken crypt with 0 rooms?

[nimble moss]

yeah - once

[sinful ivy]

first time seeing one like that

[nimble moss]

i've done hundreds of crypts - only seen it once - so its super rare

[olive oxide]

I’ve only done like one ever 😭

[fiery jacinth]

you know I've been wondering. Will they actually add some new weapon types to earlier biomes? I'm primarily asking because we got bolts for the crossbow all the way to the black forest when other bolts are vastly more available by the time you can make the arbalest

[sinful ivy]

bone weapons would be cool

[nocturne wolf]

We already have the club (upgraded) and stagbreaker made with bone fragments

[sinful ivy]

true but like a bone knife or sword could be very cool

[fiery jacinth]

[regal spoke]

Birch bark mead when

[nocturne wolf]

What would it do

[regal spoke]

Lightly based on its true uses. It could act as a minor mead. Perhaps towards defense (pain tolerance)? Nice early buff to compliment poison resist

[nocturne wolf]

A minor mead? So there would be a major or medium version available later?

[wispy latch]

Bone weapon but from petrified bone?

[regal spoke]

Mixed with other ingredients I could see it working

[fallen badger]

anyone starting a play through?

[quasi latch]

If you're looking for people to play with, try searching through #1024264966712340510

[vernal hinge]

I'm a little new, what should I do with these broken axes I have? Is there a way to repair them? If not is there a way to destroy them?

[olive oxide]

Go into your workbench and spam the hammer button

Repair shit for free in the workbench, anything that the workbench is high enough level for anyway

[vernal hinge]

Ohhhh ok, I'm setting palisades up around my base right now so I haven't finished setting up my workbench, I'll have to craft a new axe for now

[olive oxide]

Why are you building defenses before you
A: need it
B: finish a work bench hut

Nothing will attack you… for now…

I only throw defensive stuff on my newer bases, started base aint get shit

[quasi latch]

I build my defenses in the form of ||10x wood, 8x bronze, 2x leather scraps||

[quasi latch]

Maybe because it looks cool?

[vernal hinge]

Noted... tearing it down now. I like how this game gives you all the materials you used back

[olive oxide]

I just use a bronze axe like a real man

[olive oxide]

I mean if you’re almost done don’t, just kinda confused why you haven’t made a bench first

[quasi latch]

lol

[olive oxide]

The very minimum to basically live in the game is a workbench

[quasi latch]

It's nearly impossible to make a fatal mistake in Meadows, though. Anything that comes after you can be killed with your bare hands

[olive oxide]

The only thing that can kill you in the meadows is like
The boss
And raid creatures

[pliant hatch]

Just for the record, anyone can play this game the way (s)he likes.

There's is no rule stating that a player can't build defenses before they got a house or even a rudimental shelter build.
There's also no rule stating that a player has to fight monsters in the meadows.

[olive oxide]

Folding to anything else gotta be embarrassing 🙏

[olive oxide]

I never said he couldn’t, why you acting like i did tf

[vernal hinge]

This game has such a gritty vibe compared to other survival games I've played

[olive oxide]

You played conan?

[vernal hinge]

So I thought there would be tougher monsters even in the starting area 😅

[pliant hatch]

Therefore, if someone wants to build a palisade wall to block off what will become their main base, there's also no reason to tell that person to act like a "real man".

[olive oxide]

What

Dude it’s not that serious

[vernal hinge]

Most similar game I've played is probably Grounded, and that's gotta be my favorite game OAT.

[olive oxide]

Grounded is so fucking good dude

[pliant hatch]

#valheim-chat message

You are questioning why someone builds defenses.
That's nearly the same thing.

If players think they need it, so be it. It's there choice.

What I find more funny, is that you immediately felt attacked; while I didn't quote or link to your message, just mentioned something that's a general opinion.
Makes me wonder what I have to think of that. 🤔

[vernal hinge]

I think you're reading too much into it my friend

[olive oxide]

And you got pissed and felt attacked when i just told him to build a workbench to repair the axe 😭

It cannot be this serious man

[vocal rivet]

When did THAT happen?

[olive oxide]

Groundeds scaling through the areas is so good tbh, i love just trying to find all the stuff

Also going back and beefing with enemies out of your own level of gear

Black widow vs pebble weapons ❤️

Out of survival games ive played
Conans good but gets repetitive once you finish all the dungeons
Ark is good but the mid game gotta be considered torture throughout half the world
Valheim is pretty good but ive never gotten far into it, friends get bored and i dont enjoy solo as much
Project zomboid is peak gameplay
Grounded goes hard but i never did beat it :(
Abiotic factor is so fucking good, bit jank but super fun
Minecraft is Minecraft

[vernal hinge]

I have like 300 hours in Grounded and never beat it

[vocal rivet]

checks to confirm the sign on the door still reads #valheim-chat

[olive oxide]

🤓☝️

I still have valheim in there so it counts

[pliant hatch]

<- Lifts DereK up so he can see and read the sign better

[elder stone]

What is the easiest/quickest food to farm at end game that still is high tier. I play a melee style, so usually go 3 health buffs, but would also do 2 health/1 stam. Right now I feel like farming asksvins is the way to go for multiple good options with their meat. I feel like they are NOT super efficient for finding many quickly though... Am I missing any obvious quick to farm foods that would be better? Maybe seeker meat recipes would be quicker farms? Or even a step down to lox meat, since that is SO quick to farm.

I never tame stuff, maybe that is something that would help me...

[merry pebble]

Scorching medley, Spicy marmalade, Piquant pie, Fiery svinstew i would say, all need only 1 ingredient that can not be farmed.

[elder stone]

Is there an optimal way to farm asksvins? Or just gotta wander around ashlands and find them? (They seem to spawn in same areas but I'm not sure on that yet)

[merry pebble]

They typically spawn a bit more inland

After you get first few tamed and you get eggs you can trasport and farm them anywhere

[elder stone]

Thanks for the info. I need to start taming stuff, so I'll try that out.

[olive oxide]

Can you tame like any animals or what

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

Can tame boar, wolf, lox and aksvin.

And you can breed chicken if you're able to get the eggs.

[olive oxide]

Gotta figure out how that shit works then ig

I haven’t really gotten far into this save this go around

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming

[ember panther]

I keep forgetting to get my eggs!!! They give some good foods right? I haven't had chickens in a long time. Forget what they do

[pliant hatch]

Chickens give meat - when butchered - eggs and feathers.
The meat is used for the Honey Glazed Chicken; which is a nice Mistlands food.

[ember panther]

Oh I thought there might be more since the bogwitch update. Nothing else then?

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂 the feasts dont use any of the chicken drops

[tacit crystal]

Like Thorin said, Honey glazed chicken as HP food and also Mushroom omelette as stamina food.

[slow leaf]

Honestly not sure there's any reason to upgrade to Ashlands weapons (aside from the bow) when Mistwalkers cold effect is so wildly overpowered there.

[slow leaf]

Pretty easy. Trap animal, give food, wait 30 minutes.

[pliant hatch]

Or 15 if you got a certain potion........

[ember panther]

Is it possible to transport lox across continents somehow?

[azure yacht]

ship

[pliant hatch]

They can swim over small straights as well if you ride them.

[velvet drift]

jade berserker axes. I feel like not many people know that when you stun a mob with a jade weapon they cant turn so you can run behind them and kill them works especially great againts morgen and other high hp mobs

[nocturne wolf]

Jade weapons are good but not the berserkir axes

I'd only use them on an enemy already immobilised by another jade weapon, or something weak enough to parry or stagger with the axes

[velvet drift]

It's pretty good for example you stun a morgen with a bow, jade axes or smth else then run behind him and you keep on reapplying the stun until he dies

[tame sonnet]

hey, i looked for my seed on the seed generator website & it clearly doesn’t match the seed i’m currently in, any tips?

i need it to find yagluth spawn as i’ve searched all over with no success

[pliant hatch]

Did you type in the seed or did you upload your world?

If the world is created before the Bog Witch update, it may have differences in the placements of the boss / trader locations.

But if you upload your current world - using the blue button with the flat bracket and up pointing arrow (location of the files is in the description) - the locations will be a lot more accurate.

[tame sonnet]

it’s an xbox world

[tame sonnet]

i’m not sure if i can upload an xbox world

[fervent robin]

Is it worth trying to fish on the coastline or do I have to sail to the ocean and just stand in my ship?

[nocturne wolf]

The fish on the coast are good enough, and in meadows none of them need any special type of bait

[pliant hatch]

Neither am I. Are you able to navigate to the folder where the saves are kept in?

[fervent robin]

Got it.

[pliant hatch]

The only reason to go further out is because of the fish hat.
And perhaps because you find a good fish for food in the Mistlands.
But in general it's what Blobicycake said; along the coast line is good enough.

[fervent robin]

Alright, I only recently bought fish bait, so I'm still figuring it out for the first time.

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-troll-dance-gif-10621760382477937142

GIF fail.

[tacit crystal]

I respectfully disagree with that. Jade axes are amazing.

[pliant hatch]

2 most important things I learned:

1. Stop your boat by jumping off, then climbing on again. Letting go of the rudder will keep you moving away from the fish;
2. Don't cast your line out too far. 3-4 meters is far enough when you start.

And some things that may be useful:
Eat 3 stamina foods and bring tasty mead and / or (and preferred) stamina mead with you.
It helps.

[tacit crystal]

No gif perms for us regular folks.

[fervent robin]

Nice, thanks for the information man.

[nocturne wolf]

They are, but not in enough situations to overall be a good weapon. Against a starred charred warrior all you can do safely is a single primary attack at a time because of the long recovery until you get lucky enough to immobilise the enemy.
While for example, with a mistwalker, you will consistently do well against just about anything in ashlands

[ember panther]

I like lightning axes

Any characters that may be an L or an I or a 1?

[tame sonnet]

yes, i tried switching out the i’s with other letters, but to no avail. could anyone here try? maybe it doesnt work on mobile

seed: 88midRDeXJ

[tacit crystal]

I find them useful in various situations.
My tactic sometimes is swinging first 2 hits on air and connect with the 3rd and 4th double hits at the enemy, which is mostly enough to stagger even 1 star charred warrior.

And the ability to root even bosses is really useful.

[nocturne wolf]

I'd rather get the initial rooting with a weapon that doesn't leave me stuck to the floor, like a klossen, and then switch to the axes. They are good in combinations but alone they just don't feel both safe and effective against some of the stronger enemies.

This is for all berserkir axes, not just the jade axes.

[fervent robin]

I caught my first fish let's go!

It only took me after I got full iron to fish.

[tacit crystal]

Understandable, I like combo of Klossen and axes too, but I also like to keep hitting with axes sometimes.

[white spade]

Greeting all you honorable fallen and einherjar.

[vocal rivet]

But only with their consent.

[lusty dirge]

You cannot access the world file on the xbox or in the cloud. But if you have a windows pc you can launch the game from there and synchronize the save files to the PC where you can access them

[slow leaf]

Ah, that's a good point, pretty much why the frost is so overpowered as well, slows down their turns and they just... don't hit you. Still the issue of 25% vs 100% chsnce, though.

[slow leaf]

True, which I tried out for the first time last night. I left it out though since most people don't have it when they attempt their first tamings.

[pliant hatch]

I've seen people here taming their first boars well into swamps or mountains. So it's always worth to mention it, just not where to get it. 😉

[heady parcel]

You really only need to tame boars while minced meat sauce, sausages and turnip stew is on the menu. Once you're past that you barely ever need them again. So this run, once I had my farm with two-stars up - I have only come back there to feed them an cull their offspring once. Poor guys must be hungry as fudge.

Sausages are however ideal base loitering food, so if you build or just chill a lot, keeping pigs does stay relevant.

[pliant hatch]

As a matter of fact, there's also the food you need for wolves.
While the mince meat sauce, sausages and turnip stew can be done with meat from hunted boars, some players tamed the boars later in the game to feed the wolves they have tamed too. Or to replace the ones they lost from the Badt event.
While others have skipped the tamed boars altogether and only relied on what they were able to get from the hunt.

Which also means that while the potion only becomes more relevant when trying to tame wolves, Lox or Aksvin, it's still useful to tame boars too once you've entered swamp or after swamp.

[regal spoke]

Bombs make boar farms relevant into endgame. Unless you're getting enough bats in your life

[heady parcel]

ugh, I'm out of wolf skewers. Need to pick mushrooms....where do I upvote suggestions to be able to plant them? 😉

[pliant hatch]

Just set your vegetation to minimum and you will find plenty.
And mark them on your map after you've found them for faster access to them

[regal spoke]

NGL a little herb garden would be kinda sweet.

[cobalt canyon]

mods

[heady parcel]

Oh I've done all that, just need to go through the motions. Having a shroom farm would be convenient. Like, I can grow the mistlands shrooms, so why not the red ones...? Well I know why - because the Gods say so - but still, it would be hella convenient...

[cobalt canyon]

Plant everything mod does the ‘shrooms -yellow and red, berries, and I think thistles

Also the Farm grid, spaces the crops out perfectly

[heady parcel]

Nah I'm not gonna go down the mods road just for that, it's not that big of a deal. I like running around bullying greys, so making a few rounds to pick shrooms is a nice little break from more "serious" stuff.

So yeah, after I typed that I've collected 67 mushrooms, just in the vicinity of my base. 12 minutes. Planting shrooms would be a convenience thing, not really QoL.

[ember panther]

Just make a farm close to their natural spawns. I did that for cloudberries

[heady parcel]

Yeah one of my outposts is on the meadows/mountains border with black forest close both to the north and south. Plenty of shroom spawns, I just need to run one lap around the vicinity to get a full stack.

[ember panther]

Idk if it's intentional but the altar has lots of mushrooms and redberries nearby

[heady parcel]

And if I really focus and do the long roundabout, about half an hour, that would probably be three stacks or so. It's really the same with everything, if you want someting you need to put in a bit of time. "Cost" in the context of this game is really translated to how much of my time I need/want to spend to get something.

[heady parcel]

I think that's intentional so freshies can get a little cushion so they don't get bullied to death by a grey first thing that happens.

[vocal rivet]

Very much intentional.

[heady parcel]

Right - testing notes: Khrom sucks against lox!

[gray sand]

Sucks? Or just takes longer?

[nocturne wolf]

Lox are resistant to slash so both

[gray sand]

They are weak to Pierce, so any non-pierce weapon is going to take longer.

++Slash resistant, yes.

Krom still good 😭

[nocturne wolf]

Neutral to pierce, not weak, unless the wiki is wrong

[slim remnant]

pretty sure its neutral

[heady parcel]

I'm comparing it to my other 2H weapon. Secondary cannot stagger them, which means its damage is doesn't really matter. It can bully a lot of other mobs, but I nearly died to a couple of lox since I wasn't really prepared to them just soaking the special.

[gray sand]

Will have to test, could have sworn number was yellow last time.
🤷‍♂️

[gray sand]

Just parry? Staggered. Boom.

[heady parcel]

Sure - but with an atgeir you just need the spinny-spinny move. So, against lox specifically, Khrom sucks

[gray sand]

Krom still good 😭

[heady parcel]

It is, but it is not ideal for lox 🙂

[slim remnant]

i love atgeirs

[gray sand]

I wonder if, in 1.0, they make the stabby-stab of the Sword alternate do Pierce damage.

And the spinny-slash of the Atgeir alternate do Slash.

[heady parcel]

I love the animations of Krom though, I just wish it would actually kick as much behind as it looks like it is doing.

[nocturne wolf]

It does, but not against resistant enemies

[tacit crystal]

It needs MTP removed tbh.

[heady parcel]

Agreed

[gray sand]

If that isn't fixed in 1.0 I will be severely disappointed.

[nocturne wolf]

Just tested, they are neutral to pierce

[tacit crystal]

If it wasn't, would you consider a mod for a fix Sev?

[gray sand]

That would meet the criteria of "fixing a developer mistake" so, possible.

[gray sand]

Fair.

[vocal rivet]

Is it a mistake or just not doing what you want?

[gray sand]

1-handed not having MTP when it should and 2-handed having MTP when it should not is a mistake.

And we can agree to disagree right now instead of doing the "yes huh" "nu uh" dance for a couple minutes.

[heady parcel]

Well, if it is intentional we could say they made a mistake with the decision 😉

[vocal rivet]

That's not really how arguments/discussions work but I don't really have the energy.

[heady parcel]

If it's just a bug it will be fixed eventually

[gray sand]

Given it was the way it should be, and then a patch randomly switched it - highly likely it is a bug.

[tacit crystal]

I doubt it is intentional, according to how Smiffe reacted to it once, but not in top priority of all fixes.

[heady parcel]

Aright so my Queen really wanted to be left alone, quite a journey to get to her... #screenshots message

[gray sand]

Which is why I am fine waiting till the 1.0 balance patch. Because it makes sense it is not priority right now.

But if not fixed in the 1.0 patch...

[hot herald]

What's Mtp

[gray sand]

Multi-Target Penalty

[hot herald]

Cheers

[gray sand]

Magic The Pathering

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, anyhow, Krom/Slayer is great single target damage dealer with its huge secondary attacks.

But hopefully it gets MTP removed.

[gray sand]

Monster Thunter Porld

[hot herald]

Don't call me out. That's exactly what I though

[gray sand]

😛

[hot herald]

😭

[shy marlin]

surely 1.0 addresses some balance issues right 🤙 surely right

[gray sand]

Increase burn damage from Ashlands water by 4000% 😏

[shy marlin]

New method dropped don't even need a boat anymore

[nocturne wolf]

Player damage modifiers 🤞
And necks being far too aggressive I still can't pet them

[gray sand]

1.1 patch: After analyzing every way Scales broke the game, removing the methods used. 😛

[shy marlin]

gg 🫡

[gray sand]

Or just, if you enter a biome before killing the previous boss, Thor drops down and punts you back to spawn saying "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Smiffe appears with the cheat sledge

[shy marlin]

Funny meme but in my no food run i had to make a rule that stopped me from entering later biomes earlier then intended

[gray sand]

😄

[shy marlin]

Cause the no food run would be a hell of a lot easier if i had bersirkir axes for the queen and all the other bosses

[gray sand]

Root working on bosses still boggles my mind.

[shy marlin]

Yea same

[heady parcel]

While the animation is cool - the huge damage dealer with a twohander actually being a stab is a bit odd. With regular swords it makes sense, that's how long swords and many other kinds of battle swords were actually used through history. But twohanders were mostly used for swinging around to make use of the added cutting impact, to get through armour. You'll see fencing manuals displaying stabs, but if you look at historical records for "zweihanders" used in battle it was all about swinging around for crowd control and chopping off legs, heads or whatever got in the way.

But then again - Valheim is not Kingdom Come, so whatever 😄

[tepid prawn]

This is soooo much fun to be honest....

[gray sand]

You and I spell "bullshit" every differently.

[shy marlin]

pretty fun to just drink a berserker potion and go ham on a boss while it does nothing 😎

[tepid prawn]

You mean pop bonemass and drink 15 berserkir potions consecutively 🙂

[shy marlin]

Uh try 3 but yea

which is a total of 10 red mushrooms which sure is difficult to get

[tepid prawn]

thats how many you need for full duration, but yeah things can't survive that super long

[unreal patrol]

jemand deutsch?

[tacit crystal]

English only.

[unreal patrol]

K

[marsh barn]

hey can someone help me understand what makes the carapce buckler better than the black iron shield? is it just the parry bonus? everything else seems to be identical from the durability to the block armor at max level

[tacit crystal]

Buckler has higher parry multiplier.

[marsh barn]

yeah i noticed that, wasn't sure if that was the only benefit. seems like it is

[quasi latch]

Heck, even ||flametal shield|| has worse stats than carapace buckler for parrying

[marsh barn]

wild

[shy marlin]

[tacit crystal]

Carapace buckler has the highest amount of block when parrying of all shields. There is also Carapace shield for regular blocking too.

[marsh barn]

yeah im not a huge fan of regular blocking tbh, unless im fighting a boss

[shy marlin]

shouldn't be regular blocking bosses but i see what you're saying

[hot herald]

Played with a dude who had that

[marsh barn]

my black metal tower shield could eat yagluths beam without breaking lol

[hot herald]

Felt cheesey. Fam hit the floor and did like 10k damage

[marsh barn]

i just face tanked him while my friends shot him with arrows

[hot herald]

Left shortly

[nocturne wolf]

Recreating that scene from the mistlands trailer?

[marsh barn]

honestly never seen the trailer lmao

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, probably because it's the Cheat hammer.

[marsh barn]

does the ||mistwalker sword|| stack with ||bound wisp||?

[nocturne wolf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyHAvmBKK50

[hot herald]

Sorta

[tacit crystal]

No, afaik.

[shy marlin]

oh that's an interesting question i think the answer is no though

[hot herald]

The sword makes a bubble of clear around you while the wisp moved and clears

[marsh barn]

oh true

[hot herald]

So yes, kind of

[marsh barn]

so i guess using both still does have a benefit, just not in the exact way i was thinking

[shy marlin]

Yea that's just what i was about to say, it does but it also doesn't

[nocturne wolf]

They're both active separately but not stacking in some way

[marsh barn]

i know sword gives 5m and bound gives 10m so i was thinking it would just stack to 15m but i think the other way is actually better

[shy marlin]

yea doesn't add the radii together, basically you have two different spheres of wisp clearing

[marsh barn]

huh, i dont think ive ever seen radius pluralized before

[slim remnant]

that was my same thought lol

[shy marlin]

[gray sand]

Scales | Nerd

[light moat]

GOTTEM!

[gray sand]

-# From the man who made the mathed-as-fuck Blocking Spreadsheet. 😄

[shy marlin]

There’s no way radii is nerd behavior

[vocal rivet]

No, that's just knowing basic grammar.

[gray sand]

Spheres and radii? That's some geometry nerd shit. 😏

[fiery jacinth]

I got a small question. More people than expected joined our multiplayer session and they wanna start from scratch somewhere away from us. is it possible to not have them run into charred enemies and seekers during the night?

[heady parcel]

No, if they really wanna start from scratch they need to start their own world

[fiery jacinth]

that's fair

[heady parcel]

( Or find another that is fresh)

[regal spoke]

Spawn killed and farmed by ticks as a persons first experience in a seed is interesting 😜

[grave nexus]

Is there a lightning hammer in the game??? (not Mjolnir, sorry for mistakes i use google translator)

[slim remnant]

theres a lightning mace, but no lightning hammer im pretty sure

[heady parcel]

No. Not a hammer but there is something else. And there is a hammer that is very good but does NOT spit lightning.

[grave nexus]

What is this hammer? An icebreaker?

[heady parcel]

A hammer that is very powerful in a certain way that makes it very useful for a long time. If you want more spoilers you need to google or watch youtube...

[shy marlin]

∫₀²π ∫₀π ∫₀¹ ρ²sin(φ) dρ dφ dθ, now this is nerd behavior

[marsh barn]

am i missing something about building on top of sealed towers? i thought you could but it doesn't seem to let me...

[shy marlin]

Pretty sure you can only build off the sides of the sealed tower 🤔

[marsh barn]

weird because the wiki talks about how a good strat for clearing them is to build your portal on top and then work your way down.. i know you can't build IN the tower

[nocturne wolf]

Build it off the side, near the top?

[shy marlin]

Wiki probably means get to the top and build a portal off the side at the top yea

[gray sand]

Is this why we have so many pies but no cakes in Valheim?

AT Smiffe -> WHY DO WE HAVE NO CAKES IN VALHEIM? 😭😭

[marsh barn]

damn that's unfortunate. i was hoping i could build from the top, oh well i'll have to mess around with it then to get something i like. thanks 🙂

[shy marlin]

Cake is a lie

[gray sand]

No it isn't. I've seen it. You just have to beat all the puzzles.

[near furnace]

*The

[nocturne wolf]

No. All cake is a lie.

[marsh barn]

do hearths need to be placed on the ground or can they go on stone flooring

[still crow]

On a foundation piece, so ground or stone flooring. It won't go on wood unless if there is stone below that wooden floor piece.

[marsh barn]

hmm this will be challenging then lmao i am trying to place it in a balcony tower

[still crow]

I recommend a bunch of iron. You can put it on the iron floors iirc, if you need to.

[marsh barn]

the wood iron beams you mean?

[still crow]

No the iron cage floors. I'm sure the wood iron beams would work, but I've only used cage floors.

[marsh barn]

ohhh

hmm ok now ill have to figure out how to get copper here since i can't teleport.....

[still crow]

Wya?

[marsh barn]

i'm just in the plains, i'm building a balcony off the sealed tower. just not sure where the nearest black forest is

i need to craft a forge for the beams or the cage floor

[still crow]

Got it

[marsh barn]

if only the window bars and stuff in the sealed tower could drop copper bars, sadly only iron

[trail lotus]

Its not like Copper is hard to find😉

[marsh barn]

yeah thankfully the island i'm on right now only has two biomes. plains and thankfully the dark forest

shit i lied it's meadows

[trail lotus]

I dont know if you Play valheim for long but be sur to dig under Copper node on the surface

[marsh barn]

oh yeah i know, i only need a small bit though. just enough to make a forge

[trail lotus]

👍

[marsh barn]

i can't believe i just fkn died to a fuling

[shy marlin]

🤙

[marsh barn]

feather cape and root harnesk vs fuling torch = sad

[trail lotus]

U can use the game mecanic to chees IT but its up to you

[marsh barn]

i have fire meads but forgot to take one

and i now need to climb my way down from the sealed tower lmao i love this game.

spare feather cape is next on the to do list 😄

[marsh barn]

btw what method were you referring to?

[tall cairn]

does anyone have an extra christmas tree or i think its called maple thing

[cobalt canyon]

Yule

And I'm pretty sure you don't have "extras" I think it's just made off of basic materials around the holidays

-might be able to devcommand it in?

[tall cairn]

me?

oh okey

just gotta wait then

thank you

and ill try that

[knotty veldt]

Omg I just got nuked by a fuling with a magic staff

[tepid prawn]

Fuling Shaman

[knotty veldt]

I figured that much lmao, it just scared me

hes dead now I one shot him with the extra stealth damage

[tepid prawn]

I love to snipe them with Huntsmen bow

[olive oxide]

Wait what…

[knotty veldt]

Dragur>>>

[slim remnant]

for picking off fulings in a village the huntsman bow is better actually, because goblins that are 4 or more meters away cannot hear the arrow hitting anything, while the other bows are louder, enemies can hear the arrow hitting from iirc 10 meters away

[knotty veldt]

thats cool and all but the dragur has drip

[slim remnant]

drip doesnt matter if ur dead

[tepid prawn]

you can’t snipe with Draugr fang

The huntsmen has lowest aggro range of any bow in the game

[knotty veldt]

been doing it just fine 🤷‍♂️

[sinful lagoon]

I used to snipe with the fang and it pretty much one shots them all even if they come after you, just switch to melee if they do reach you :3
But the huntsmen is good too haha

[tepid prawn]

You often pull nearby mobs as well with it, huntsmen you can just shoot one dead and not aggro others, can even get relatively close to each other lox just 1 one 1 and the others will stay there or snipe single targets from a fuling village. By snipe I mean not getting aggro, one at a time, if you want to do that with Fang they need to be 8m apart…

[rain flare]

Or you need to be good at running 😂

[tepid prawn]

If something does not die from 1 shot, then you do second shot with fang as they are running to you

[tepid prawn]

There is a mead for that

And eik power too

[slim remnant]

that mead started my alcohol problem

[tepid prawn]

Was more the troll one for me, but rata yes for sure

[slim remnant]

yeah troll endurance is rly good, i just hate fishing

[tepid prawn]

Bunny mead also great

[slim remnant]

i havent quite gotten a chance to use it a whole lot

i havent been playing on worlds that i've been to the mistlands on before in a while, just beat yag in my current world so ive got some brewing, so ill get to try it out soon

[rain flare]

Tasty mead is an underrated
I abuse it so much early game 😂

Fighting something and running low on stamina? Meeeeead

Running home and low on stamina?
More Meeeeeeeeeead 🤣

[tepid prawn]

Too expensive for me I never have enough berries except for clouds

[rain flare]

Huh.
I always have enough early cause I hoard every blue and raspberry I come across

[quaint quest]

would yall say its scummy to have it enabled to u can take ores through portals?

[tepid prawn]

I use them for deer stew, jam, rata, later muckshake

[rain flare]

It is a valid option for how to play the game

[tepid prawn]

It’s not scummy, do what is fun to you. It just cheapens it when you unlock „teleport all“ in lategame biome without the world modifier (spoilers to tell you more)

[rain flare]

But it does alter a very specific game mechanic that is removed later on

[slim remnant]

i skip jam and muckshake cuz i make way too much ratatosk 😂

[tepid prawn]

Also sailing is hella fun and you get some resources that you will get a lot less of if you’re sailing less

[quaint quest]

oh it gets removed later on. I didnt know that

[quaint quest]

true

[tepid prawn]

Quite late though

[quaint quest]

ok

[tepid prawn]

In the end it’s up to you, you should know best how to set world modifiers for maximum fun for you

Like some people like hard or very hard combat, I like normal haha

[quaint quest]

ok thx for the help

[indigo pagoda]

Damn I cannot believe the game is still in early access, it's so good

[rain flare]

Weeeeell that is why it’s in early access 😂
The dev’s are taking their time to make it good 🥰

[balmy seal]

Did Moder get a buff sometime in the last couple years? I don't remember her being this difficult.

[azure yacht]

No

[rain flare]

She’s always been difficult 😂

[balmy seal]

Yes I know, but I've soloed her in the past, yet this time it feels as though she hits a lot harder.

[rain flare]

It’s vengeance for all those solos previously 🤭😂

I solo’d her with a bow a little while ago
She still hits like a truck at 180 mph 😂

[balmy seal]

I see

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[orchid forge]

I don't know why I never noticed this but "Haldor" is just two vowels away from "Hildir" 🤔

[azure yacht]

Next merchant should be another sibling of theirs and be named heldur or hulder

[opal prairie]

Or is it Hildir being two vowels away from Haldor?

[opal prairie]

Let's make it Holdor, somewhere in the inventory of the merchant is a door to be bought.

[azure yacht]

"This door was held by Holdor at some point in the past"

[balmy seal]

I wonder if they poop blu tack

[orchid forge]

(stares in Andorian)

[tacit crystal]

I name my portals that lead to them as "Hodor" and "Hidir".

I cant see nothing on Mistlands 🫠 -100 of gameplay to Valheim 😔

I use wisp but its no enough

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wisp_torch

[rain flare]

You aren’t supposed to see anything
You must learn to navigate with your ears, and your internal compass

[warped notch]

Hello, when I press the E key while playing the game, my character dances. How can I turn this off?

[opal prairie]

Sometimes climbing a jagged mountain to see where to keep heading for more jagged mountains.

[nocturne wolf]

Use the command resetbinds

[warped notch]

how ?

[nocturne wolf]

Some commands need the command console open but I'm pretty sure you can use this one from chat (/resetbinds)

Otherwise look here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console

[warped notch]

thank you it's fixed 🙂

[teal holly]

Thanks but use three/ four and nothing 😂😂 maybe use soo many torchs

[teal holly]

Yes i think so 🥺🥺, but adding more radio to the linked wisp would be great.

[cunning quartz]

i can not get over the fact that i was fighting the elder and a troll came by to say hello, made me get killed 7 times and i then ragequit

like why

i dont know if the elder is still there if i logged

[robust token]

It should be still there

[azure yacht]

You're not supposed to clear the entire biome, you use it to set up paths to wherever you need to go.

There is absolutely 0 need to clear the entire mist

[cunning quartz]

defeated The Elder

i have to say its my least favorite boss

[balmy seal]

How many have you done so far?

[cunning quartz]

ive only killed upto Moder in my old playthrough but The Elder is really annoying

[rain flare]

Is it the swarms of his underlings that constantly interfere, or his overgrown fingernails? 😂

[cunning quartz]

trolls

trolls and dwarflings, i hate them, i hate them all, i slaughtered them like animals

more like the troll slaughtered me but yeah xD

[rain flare]

Weeeell, Bonemass, moder, and Yagluth aren’t much better if you think about it 🤭

It’s rng if you get some…
Over enthusiastic fans that jump the fence and wanna play with you 😂

[cunning quartz]

o yeah i know, bonemass and moder are horrible aswell but i thought i was so prepared and everything went well..... until the troll showed up

[rain flare]

My friends and I fought moder with several wolves, 2 golems, endless drakes and a few fenrings cause it went on into the night 😂

[cunning quartz]

oh gosh xD

[rain flare]

It was soooo bad! 😂
So much fun but so bad…

Worst part was the terrain
She spawned on the side of a mountain, so there was a ledge we could walk on but a long drop on the side and… “friends” on the other 😅

[opal prairie]

That must have been some wild party, lots of mead and meat were involved.

[rain flare]

Yuuup 😂

[cunning quartz]

my base is too close to the black forest and i feel like i have to relocate bc sometimes when i cut wood a troll shows up

[rain flare]

The joys of living anywhere other than the meadows

My ||mistlands|| base has had a ||gjall|| show up directly outside my bedroom 🤣🤣😭

[vernal mauve]

is it still possible to find the silly rock ingame?

[honest canopy]

isnt it permanent?

[vernal mauve]

rock

[restive violet]

[honest canopy]

[rain flare]

It is

[regal spoke]

Yes it's still in game. Go 1000m away from spawn, 5-20m above sea level. Must be unexplored land. Meadows, Black forest, Mountain, and Swamp iirc.

[vernal mauve]

rock!

[shy marlin]

rocky hahahahaha

[nocturne wolf]

[fleet bridge]

Is the rock permanent?

[dapper rain]

if the rock were made of mineral wool, it could be both plush AND actual rock!

-# and respiratory hazard

[regal spoke]

Mineral wool is also known as rock wool. New fabric in game confirmed?

[hardy blaze]

wait so it was real not a april fools😭 ?

[vocal rivet]

Of course.

[gleaming snow]

honestly I think the rock was a good addition to the game. something light hearted thats easy to add, gives enjoyment to players and adds to base decoration. not everything has to have some kinda purpose

I enjoy checking my rock to see which mood its in.

side note: kinda cool to see the valheim team doing a makeship plush of the rock. would be cool to see them do makeship plushes for other stuff from the game too, like the troll or moder

[fleet bridge]

Im not sayinf I dont like it, I havent played and I’m wondering if it will be removed any time or not

I like the rock 😭 I just didnt want to miss out on getting it before it gets removed if they remove it yk lol

[gleaming snow]

definitely wont be removed anytime soon. at first i thought it was like the seasonal items but it seems to be here to stay year round

[velvet drift]

where can i find the rock?

[nocturne wolf]

Past 1000m from world centre, in meadows, black forest, swamps and mountains between 5 and 20m altitude

[velvet drift]

thanks ill go look for it now

[velvet drift]

so not to far away from water

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but not too close either

[velvet drift]

yeye

[rain flare]

Past the border, past the swamp, give the plains a good ol’ romp!

Look here 👈
Look over there 👉
Look a little everywhere!

[velvet drift]

👍

[nocturne wolf]

No not the plains

[rain flare]

Look in a hole, you found a troll

Look over here - you found a deer

Looked over there - you found a hare 🐰

[velvet drift]

btw is it rare?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes very rare

[rain flare]

I think you should poke it if you would but dare 😂🤭

[velvet drift]

is there a way to keep track of my altitude

[rain flare]

[rain flare]

Not really, no

[tiny tiger]

Obsidian starts spawning from 100*m onwards

[nocturne wolf]

Use the pos command and subtract 30 from the y value

[velvet drift]

just /pos?

[nocturne wolf]

I've never used it, I don't know if it can be used in chat, I'll test now Use it in the command console with devcommands enabled. So don't do this if you want to use this save after 1.0 and haven't used devcommands already.

[velvet drift]

found him

[rain flare]

1.0 version of the game will break saves that used dev commands? 🤔

[velvet drift]

thanks for the help ya'll

[nocturne wolf]

It will likely disable achievements

[rain flare]

Huh.
No matter then 😂

[velvet drift]

since i play on 1.5x resources i got 2 🙂

what should i name them?

[rain flare]

Rocky and Pebbles

[velvet drift]

i cant post a pic here sad

[vocal rivet]

Correct. #screenshots would work.

[velvet drift]

look there rlq

[vocal rivet]

Cute.

[velvet drift]

are the other april fools things in the game too?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it was only the rock

[rain flare]

What do you call a group of rocks?
A stack
What do you call a stack in motion?
A slide 🤭

Iron Gate after inventing rocks:

[elder stone]

Need 120 eitr to use trollstav at level 0 skill right?

[wispy hearth]

Man... 2026 is way too long time away.

[velvet drift]

the stats that are displayed on a weapon show them as they are at lvl 0

[rain flare]

Question, do your summoned skeletons hitting things count for raising your skill level?

[vocal rivet]

Why, what happens in 2026?

[vernal hinge]

What kind of gear would y'all recommend before I take on one of those blue trolls in the Black Forest? I have a flint spear and leather armor right now... Is that enough?

[rain flare]

Basically anything that does pierce damage - spears, arrows etc

Your armor choice is not optimal - one good hit from that thing will probably kill you

you need bronze armor for better odds

[nocturne wolf]

Or troll armor because the defence difference between them is tiny

[rain flare]

He has to kill the troll to make the troll armor my guy 😆

One step at a time OK?

[vocal rivet]

I was about to say.

[nocturne wolf]

It's hard to avoid trolls before getting any bronze though

[vernal hinge]

Yeah I just got oneshot 😅

I feel like I'd prefer to use a bow against them, when do I get an actual good one? Because I've heard the crude bow is kind of crappy

[rain flare]

You need bronze

Find some tin and copper and smelt em together 🥳

[vernal hinge]

Cool beans

[nocturne wolf]

Rolling allows you to go through almost all attacks without taking any damage

[real summit]

is pet rock still in the game?

[rain flare]

yes

[real summit]

:D

[vocal rivet]

I wonder how long it'll be before people stop asking..

[rain flare]

A while - I think that is kinda the idea 😆

[real summit]

Does it spawn in old worlds though?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, in unexplored areas only

[real summit]

thx

[wary bane]

cant decide on what my 1st Ashlands tier weapon should be

currently using Krom, Arbalast and Mistwalker but also have high(ish) bow and mace skill

but Beserkir axes look cool af

[cobalt canyon]

Whatever you do don't upgrade it straight away

[wary bane]

Okay, thanks. I assume there's a good reason but I'll ask no more 👍

[elder stone]

Wish I knew this lol. But didn't lose out on too much thankfully.

[sinful lagoon]

without spoilers if it is one
would this be just because you don't want to waste resources on the wrong weapon, or?

[ember panther]

Pretty much

[sinful lagoon]

appreciate :D

[rain flare]

Let's just say that there are...
Magical upgrades that you can give to your weapons

[velvet drift]

An easy safe way to kill them is to use a flint spear and after he attacks hit him twice and then wait for his next attack and dodge it

[rain flare]

But you reset their level if you do - so you want to leave your weapons at lvl 1 until you figure out what kind of upgrades you want

Or alternatively, you can always have a maxed out non-magical weapon for the pure damage

Magical weapons only get to lvl 2 at the moment

[sinful lagoon]

I assume like ||an enchanting table type deal?
can you change the enhancements after?||

[nocturne wolf]

You can craft flametal weapons into new weapons with unique properties

[rain flare]

Pretty much, yeah! 🥳
But no, you can't change the ||enchantements|| after

[sinful lagoon]

I've done my best to avoid as much spoilers as i can for ashlands
but would like to know things i don't want to mess up haha, so i appreciate

[rain flare]

Well, that about all we can tell you without spoiling anything ❤️

Now run along and have some fun! 🤩

[celest acorn]

Oh god, not another plushie

Please spare my wallet

[rain flare]

Wat do you mean???
More plushies please! 😆

[sinful lagoon]

running it as a solo adventure and editing the whole thing, it's a ton of fun running it again
can't wait to be fully excited and terrified of ashlands tbh

[celest acorn]

But i have no money for plushie :(

I want him tho

[rain flare]

It took me 2 hours just to make a safe spot to land in the ashlands

let alone exploring anything 😆

It was great!

[exotic pecan]

just started playing immersive. i cant wait to find one of those, havent gone further than the swamps yet

[ember panther]

Immersive is really fun but i got lost too much once i started sailing. I ended up using a mod so cartography table at least shows the map

[sinful lagoon]

i think if i were to do that i'd have to build a lighthouse at home

[regal spoke]

Another idea for immersive. View the map externally. But there's plenty nav tricks to maintain direction

[ember panther]

On the ground yeah, but getting caught in a foggy storm at night where you end up thrown way off course happened to me a few times. When I finally viewed the cartography map seeing my paths made absolutely no sense

[celest acorn]

Time to do an entire day worth of chores to get the plush

@near furnace, sorry to tag you, but how much does the plush cost?

[exotic pecan]

doing that too

[exotic pecan]

im making singnage everywhere paths too, with speedy paths

[exotic pecan]

just like being lost at sea for real lol

i havent dared venture at sea yet. heck im still trying to find the first boss lol

[cobalt canyon]

"find...."

Ey so...when you was back at those starting stones?

oh no map?

[exotic pecan]

ye

[near furnace]

no clue atm

[ember panther]

Yeah that took us a while, ended up finding the first 2 bosses and even haldor without ever seeing a map. Found moder before bonemass too

[celest acorn]

Okeh

Sorgy for summoning you

[near furnace]

np

I allow it

[celest acorn]

:D

[near furnace]

but here is a teaser

[celest acorn]

Also, thx for helping make such an amazing game, you are truly one of odin’s finest warriors

[ember panther]

Is that a new deep north cooking station?

[celest acorn]

💀

[near furnace]

slowly but steadily

[cobalt canyon]

That a coffee pot?

That better be a coffee pot

[celest acorn]

No, that’s something that will steal 60+ dollars straight from my bank account

[exotic pecan]

us? I'm playing solo right now, my valheim group fell appart

[regal spoke]

Player made landmarks (bonfire and oak tree), world tree, use a build piece to maintain direction.

[celest acorn]

It’s a rocky plush

[exotic pecan]

yep. i love it

[cobalt canyon]

Use...placed food to make a map?

Can that work if you're insane?

[exotic pecan]

im eventually just going to landmark the whole place

[regal spoke]

Could terraform a rough map using the hoe. But honestly using a build piece set to a cardinal direction is huge. Make compasses when you get to new continents

[exotic pecan]

skyrim style, with signs that point to a destination and the time required to travel there, im also going in no portals

[regal spoke]

Good strat that

[ember panther]

Yea same with me, we played up to the 2nd boss then it kinda fell apart, so I started using the cartography mod to enjoy my playthrough more

[exotic pecan]

ohh a cardinal pointer at base coulde be great,

[regal spoke]

Compasses are my fav

[ember panther]

I used the altar

[regal spoke]

What altar

[ember panther]

The starting altar you spawn in, it faces north, pre sure all of em do

[regal spoke]

Elder stone at spawn is roughly north

[exotic pecan]

yeah, i dont even have the cartography table yet, so far, ive made arrows pointing back to base whenever i left to explore, then made paths following the least steep path and used stairs to scale rocky obstacles

i'll use the sun

[regal spoke]

Signs and paths are super helpful

[exotic pecan]

rises east

i wanna make an immersive place, not just a big base

[regal spoke]

Sun and moon rise in perspective to the world tree.

[ember panther]

Yeah signs and paths are a fun aspect to the whole immersive building experience. Did a tonne on the starting continent and a bit on a few other coastlines

[exotic pecan]

i fence off future building spaces for when i get a pick

[exotic pecan]

oh well, i guess my cardinal directions are going to be based on the tree then

lore wise it fits if you ask me

[regal spoke]

East part of the tree always looks like it's touching horizon where west end has an end to it

[exotic pecan]

oh sweet

[regal spoke]

The perspective I was speaking of is where moon rises south of tree a little and sun rises just north

But in low visibility you'll need your build piece and internal direction to stay your course

[exotic pecan]

like star navigation, i love it

[regal spoke]

Oh stars do have patterns you can follow. I've yet to master this

[exotic pecan]

ohoohoh, look at me make a star map when i figure it out

[ember panther]

You may already know this but the vegvisir will point your camera perspective in the direction of the boss

Really helps for finding them

[exotic pecan]

the what now?

[ember panther]

The red boss stones that add the location to your map

[exotic pecan]

ohh, thats really helpful actually

I've found a single dark forest so far in the immersive playthrough, with no dungeons in it its so small (that or i didnt look well enough), so I was just prepping for an expedition lol

but i did find 2 vegvisir

[regal spoke]

Following the directions of the vegvisir is next to the hardest part of no-map. Finding traders is easily hardest

[exotic pecan]

im not even worried about the traders, ill stumble upon them eventually. hopefully

[ember panther]

I was super lucky with my trader find. I ran into a 2 star troll and was running for my life and saw the bubble. Hid in there til it went away

[exotic pecan]

great, troll got trolled

[viral lintel]

Take head ladies. I wouldn't suggest any females go to TheCosmos, Cosheim. I have never felt compelled to say something like this but what happend to me BY COSMOS after PAYING for a patreon NOT getting what I paid for and being treated the way I was. Was unacceptable. Females BEWARE. Just avoid. I'm sorry.

[shy marlin]

Word. Noted.

[wintry valve]

That was weird

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-wth-wtf-really-meme-gif-17151805

[regal spoke]

What's the confusion. A gal gave a heads up about something

[gray sand]

I got lost at "take head" given how many meanings that has compared to "take heed."

[pliant hatch]

Not to mention, the message was posted and the user left again.
So does that mean it wasn't meant to be here in the first place, was it a trolling message, was it a shaming message?
We will never know, as the user have left.

[exotic pecan]

I kinda want to check it out now? Yk, see what so bad about it.

Not a "female" tho so idk

[azure yacht]

There's a reason why witch-hunting is forbidden by discord rules, anyone can just throw accusations without giving any proof, how do we know if it's true or not?

[supple bramble]

Got a question

[gray forge]

Hello

[supple bramble]

Noticed there's a port of Valheim on ios, will there ever be a port for android too?? I mean, ios isn't exactly first when it comes to gaming on a mobile phone

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim is not available on ios

Where did you find this

[merry pebble]

You sure? Dont you mean Mac?

[supple bramble]

Oh, darn it! That's Mac os store...

😭

[merry pebble]

Ah, there we go 😄

[supple bramble]

Anyways, will there ever be a mobile port? Am curious

[merry pebble]

No info on that and i doubt it, would have to be a pretty beefy phone to work

[gray forge]

I wish you use another game engine rather than unity

[azure yacht]

It barely runs on pc

[azure yacht]

It works for them, that's enough

[nocturne wolf]

It's a bit late for that

[gray forge]

It doesn’t work for me

It is poorly optimized

[azure yacht]

As I said, it works for them, that's enough

Between you who only plays the game and them who are the ones making it. Guess which one needs more effort (||spoiler: it's not you||)

[gray forge]

A game should serve the players, not the developers

[supple bramble]

With a little optimization everything is possible, and I feel like this exact game would work on mobile quite well, the same way lol, diablo or ever runescape did, although those are different genre

[pliant hatch]

And also a lot older, using different game engines.

[azure yacht]

True, it should absolutely break for the developers... which means it would also break for the players.

There, no one wins now

[near furnace]

🤔

[azure yacht]

With a little optimization

Easiest part of game development clearly.

And they haven't even finished the main port as to even think porting it to... phone, of all things

[near furnace]

what is said persons computer hardware if the game doesn't work for them?

[regal spoke]

Early 2k office tower

[near furnace]

year 2000?

like pentium 90?

[supple bramble]

Guess you're right, no port for a while that means if ever

[near furnace]

your phone cannot handle valheim

[supple bramble]

At state in which the game is rn, sure it can't

[near furnace]

erm no

[gray forge]

No, They could have done a better job with another game engine

[near furnace]

processor is to weak and valheim doesn't cannot remove enough things for it to be remotly playable on a phone

[merry pebble]

Yes, because that is so easy to switch to different one after years of development...

[near furnace]

which one?

[gray forge]

I'm not saying they should change it now, I'm saying they should have used a different engine in the first place

[merry pebble]

Because you would like it better...

[slow leaf]

Well they have 10+ million players, seems to be serving just fine

[near furnace]

over 14,500,000 users

[gray forge]

Anything but unity I guess

[near furnace]

I don't think you're serious when you say that

gadot engine? unreal?

[gray forge]

What’s the problem with these

[pliant hatch]

<-- checks if he somehow hasn't accidentally travelled back in time

I really got some deja-vû vibes right now.

[near furnace]

unreals pricing is the main issue. and the other issues compared to unity

[pliant hatch]

And I'm not talking about the CSN album.

[merry pebble]

Lots of convos start to feel that way when you have been here long enough 😄

[near furnace]

and Gadot engine didn't exist when valheim started to develop

[slow leaf]

Yeah Smiffe why didnt you use CryEngine so we could all ask, 'Yeah, but can it run Valheim?' Think of the meme potential

[gray sand]

😂

[near furnace]

cost

[gray forge]

Not gadot, it is godot

Ok fair enough

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose 16 months mean "long enough".

[merry pebble]

Oh for sure 😄

[gray sand]

Smiffe Engine when?

[merry pebble]

sometimes 1 week or even day would be "long enough" xD

[near furnace]

unity game engine is superb when it comes to ability to be programmed

[nocturne wolf]

It did, it just wasn't as well-known
I'm pretty sure it's older than me... (Yes, it was started in 2001, although not public until 2014)

[near furnace]

which makes it wild to me why a user with a linux profile would want another egine over such a thing 🤔

[slow leaf]

Maybe he wanted you to develop your own proprietary engine so we could get a finished game in 2035 🤷

[gray sand]

I mean, they also think games should "serve the players."

Opinion:

Games should just be what they are. If it doesn't gel with you, personally, move on to one of the other million+ options instead of trying to force it to change to your liking.
Advent of the wave of mediocre titles was largely due to trying to fit the games to the players instead of just making the game the way you thought it should be made and accepting it wasn't going to be for everyone.

[gray sand]

SmiffeEngine would obviously be too powerful for modern hardware. World is not ready for it yet.

[near furnace]

god no

it would suck

[gray sand]

Yes, because hardware couldn't make it work. Hence the suckage. 😛

[slow leaf]

Well then he would come complain that it was TOO optimized

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xCHCGoRL9M

C# is a big thing for us

[spare patio]

atleast neither engine is as bad as RE engine

[gray sand]

Please tell me the conclusion of that video is "it depends on what you're making"?

[spare patio]

(im talking about specifically the MHWILDS branch)

[spare patio]

"focus on shit performance"

(ahem, UE5)

[gray sand]

Well ok then...

[spare patio]

most people who make games in UE5 forget about optimization

its like last priority to most of them

[gray sand]

Good on them for being balanced about it 💛
As someone who loves using Unreal, even I will admit there are things Unity handles differently that can be better for certain projects.

[merry pebble]

Well that would not be the engines fault now, would it 😄

[spare patio]

I understand its kinda hard but I've seen developers do an absolutely amazing job

[gray sand]

-# See how I am giving both their due instead of just saying one engine is shit?

[gray sand]

Smiffe Engine
Pros

• Made by Smiffe
• Makes bees happy
• Comes with complimentary rock
  Cons
• Not a real engine
• Steepest learning curve
• Not optimizable
• Not customizable

[quasi latch]

You forgot the pet rocks

[gray sand]

Fixed.

[quasi latch]

Acceptable.

[gray sand]

PirateSoftware had a great breakdown of coding languages:

They are all shit. 😄 Sometimes we write stuff and it works, and we have no idea why. Other times we write stuff and it doesn't work, and we also have no idea why. There is no good coding language. We just do the best we can with what we have.

[quasi latch]

I'd amend this to say that they're all good, all things considered, just not for every single one of their applications

[gray sand]

Fair. Same sentiment as engines. "It depends on what you're using it for." as each language/engine is designed for different things.

[quasi latch]

Is writing bitwise functions in Kotlin fun? All they have is inline methods with no precedence for bitwise operators, so no. Is it used for database backends anyways? Almost certainly.

Does that make Kotlin a bad language? In some respects yes, but overall it's pretty good.

[gray sand]

I'm waiting for C- tbh 😏

[near furnace]

B-tbh?

[quasi latch]

There's nothing to subtract from B, it barely even worked

(compared to C, anyways)

[gray sand]

Is that why we don't have B batteries? 😏

-# Joke, I do actually know why so you don't have to explain...

[errant crag]

I-i... i dont know! looks at you with big eyes

[near furnace]

no no. D batteries

[regal spoke]

But we have D batteries

[gray sand]

Yeah.

We used to have B batteries but they got phased out.

[near furnace]

I know we have D-battries

hence I said so

[gray sand]

"Battries"
Smiffe with the Bri'ish pronunciation here.

[regal spoke]

Batteries already has a b in it

[pliant hatch]

True. So we can name the B-atteries.

[near furnace]

we are tought brittish english in School 🤔

[regal spoke]

British have great accents. American English ftw ;p

[nocturne wolf]

Better english

[near furnace]

armoured tanks vs Armored tank

Armour ❤️

[gray sand]

At least they pronounce aluminium properly 😭

[regal spoke]

No not again

[near furnace]

Aluminium 🤔

[gray sand]

Yeah I live in the country of "aluminum" 😭

[regal spoke]

Alu-mini-um

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/waddle-dee-pat-kirby-headpats-cheer-up-gif-18377023

[regal spoke]

Not a big um just a mini one lol

[gray sand]

And we are so lazy we changed the periodic table to officially say aluminum rather than learn to say it correctly 😦

[near furnace]

I would like to correctly spell Armour in valheim 🤔

[regal spoke]

Even aluminum was assimilated

[gray sand]

I will give you armour (as it is correct) if you give me defense (as it is not a short wall for your yard). 💛

[vocal rivet]

I would love you too.

[merry pebble]

Montilyet actually changed some of the strings that used armor to armour around a year ago 😄 there are still remaining few tho

[regal spoke]

Do you think we will ever get to change the colours of our armour's

[vocal rivet]

Defense AND defence are both correct depending on context.

[gray sand]

LIES. DECEIT. HERESY.

[vocal rivet]

Um, yes.

[gray sand]

Post 1.0, yeah. Possible.

[near furnace]

if you (and friends) just report all of them in the website language complainment thingy. she will fix all of them

[regal spoke]

Transmog would be pretty sweet

[gray sand]

Or just use the upgrade suggestion I had /shrug

[merry pebble]

Shall do 😄 actually doing stuff there right now xD

Edit: Done!

[gray sand]

Montilyet is the best!

Back to Satisfactory for a bit. 👋 have a great day all.

[regal spoke]

You too

[orchid forge]

So can we discuss something that made an appearance on Steam this morning or no? I can understand if the mods would prefer not to go there.

[merry pebble]

What made an appearance?

[gray sand]

👀

[north pendant]

will there be one day we can just install mod from steam workshop

[orchid forge]

Runescape: Dragonwilds

Some of it is very Valheimesque. But it can be argued that it is very much its own game.

[light moat]

Oh sweet, I’ll have to check that out, sounds cool!
