@flat jay was streaming it just a couple hours ago but I missed it. Watching the vod. 👀

I think this game would be better with the addition of a double barreled shotgun

With the relevant sound effects

do we have evidence they copy valheim directly? Irongate could sue that game if they directly copy valheim.

#

If you start down the rabbit hole of "copied from another game" -- everyone can sue pretty much everyone. 😄

#

One of my favorite memes is:
Writes- "OMG YOU COPIED ME, PLAGERISM!"

Programmers- "Dude I borrowed your code."
"Lol, it isn't even my code."

#

Not just in IT 😄

#

I would say like half of "programming skill" is actually "knowing where to look up the stuff you don't know."

And this skill is more important than knowing everything/something for sure

From a small amount of gameplay I just looked at, it seems like a very different game ThinkingTroll

I'm honestly not bent out of shape over it or anything. It's obviously not a crime to make something similar to something else. That's nothing new. But I was a little taken aback by how jarringly similar some of it was, even down to the UI and the inventory.

Sausages are so good, oh my all-father.

#

Not too hard to produce much of it and very good.

rain flare
#

They are indeed

#

One of the best foods in the games honestly

My main character uses them as a regular for all base work or exploration since they are so cheap

#

You’ll love one of the other foods you get in the mistlands - it’s like sausages but for stamina 🤩

Is the Huntsman bow worth it?

wary bane
tiny tiger
#

It’s very good and has the lowest detection radius of any bow in the game

fervent robin
tiny tiger
#

Whether it’s worth it is up to you, if you have the iron to spare why not try it out?

fervent robin
#

I have fully upgraded Iron armor, sword and banded shield. I just got over 70 more iron after I've already used the iron I needed for crafting upgrades and everything I initally needed iron for. I'm just looking for things to use the iron on now to be honest.

wary bane
#

Maces are nice...

fervent robin
#

Never tried maces.

wary bane
#

You know enemies have resistances and weaknesses to different damage types? Maces dish out blunt damage, Swords deal slash (and a little pierce?) Bows deal pierce etc... maces are good for enemies with blunt weakness

nocturne wolf
fervent robin
#

I assume skeletons are weak to blunt?

wary bane
#

yes, very

fervent robin
#

I just went there earlier with skulls and skeleton remains, but I guess I have to burn something else.

wary bane
#

ah, wasn't sure if the m3 stab was pierce or slash, thanks

balmy seal
#

Upgraded maces are very good against Mr mass

nocturne wolf
tiny tiger
#

I mean it would make sense if secondary on atgeir did slash and on sword did pierce based on the animation, but from a game balancing perspective it would be kinda broken tbh

wary bane
#

i dont see how tbh, it would limit your moveset if you face a pierce resist/slash weak enemy

#

or vice versa

nocturne wolf
#

Only being able to use one attack effectively against an enemy would make combat less interesting

wary bane
#

i mean, thats assuming that enemy has a weakness/resistance

#

just feel it makes sense as it matches the animations better

#

You know what every enemy in the game is vulnerable too???

I really want a Loki Easter egg in the game

#

Odin and Thor are fun, but imagine a Loki prank just going off at random?

#

Like an item turning to coal, or moving to a different chest unexpectedly

nocturne wolf

#

wasnt Loki Sleipnir's... mother?

Then you look for it and hear a chuckle

tiny tiger
#

Loki Easter egg already exists, the wind changing direction against you whenever you decide to sail

The wind changing direction is just part of the game mechanics 🤭

I conclude that a loki easter egg may therefore contain a baby eight legged horse

played this game once when starfield released…bought xcloud abo to play via streaming but game was dogshit and instead i found valheim and played the whole month.

Depends on what you value
Huntsman is good for stealth
The next bow hits harder and does passive poison damage on hit

nocturne wolf
#

I always skip draugr fang

nocturne wolf
rain flare
#

I’m using huntsman for my stealthy bow and knife playthrough

#

But my main character used draugr fang till I got an arbalest

nocturne wolf
#

I prefer the huntsman bow for drawing aggro in fuling camps and there's nothing else in plains I use a bow for

azure yacht
#

It's due to the fact that there's a much better one in mountains and no bow in plains and is crafted with a much easier metal that makes it worth skipping.

And literally all of those options are very cheap to craft and even upgrade, so the existence of a better option is more irrelevant

#

20 iron can be used for literally anything else, like the iron mace which is a must-have

rain flare
#

Soooooo preference/playstyle choices 😂

#

I’d say that the only thing I am dead set on making with iron are crafting station upgrades, big boat, and iron pick

#

Anything else is kinda optional for me

nocturne wolf
#

Whatever my character's main weapon is, I always make an iron mace for Bonemass and stone golems.

rain flare
#

If I REALLY feel like a blunt weapon is necessary, I’ll make stag breaker for big ol blobbo 🤣

wary bane
#

regardless of how i spec my char on any playthrough i usually always end up with Abyssal razor

#

some stuff is just too good to pass up

Abyssal razor is fun 🥰

My favourite thing is that you can jump, then while in the air, jump attack again to extend the distance of your jump

I’ve killed a troll that way

dude i somehow have to get my iron back to my base tho i have no clue how far im gonna have to walk to get there 😭

its only 14 iron too so it feels not worth it

at this point im just thinking of briefly enabling portal items

Is the boat not an option?

cunning quartz
#

well not entirely

#

somehow my boat got destroyed, i got zero clues where it is, how it got destroyed

#

like do boats suddenly get destroyed or?

rain flare
wary bane
#

Did you park it in the swamp? There are aquatic enemies in the swamp that love chomping boats almost as much as they love eating vikings

rain flare
#

Trolls also hate boats

if you were carrying cargo then there should be little crates floating near where your boat was, the nails however may be lost for good

could be necks ig, didnt realise they fucked up my boat tho :l

cunning quartz
#

also youre saying that if you leave it near a swamp, it gets chomped but how are you supposed to carry stuff out the swamp with a boat then

rain flare
wary bane
#

park nearby, hoof it, hoe & cart

# rain flare Welcome brother! Grab some mead, pull up a chair, tell us tales of your adventur...

the first world i played via xcloud i found a base spot that had 3 big stones near the shore which i used to integrate into my viking 🛖.

atm i’m searching around the coast from starting zone to find something equally worthy to start building my base around.

geforce now is much superior btw then xcloud xbox stream! xcloud had cost me 20 euro a month compared to geforce now which is free to use except for the requirement to relog every hour BUT it runs better and looks better 🙂

hourly relog sounds like a bit of a pita tbf but if its free then cant complain i guess

Hey all, what's your favourite method for unstucking your boat from a sandbar or undersea rock?

#

Do you get out and mine the object it's stuck on, try and push it off, or just paddle endlessly

#

Sometimes I wish there was a magic wind staff that could do heavy knockback without doing damage to help get my ship unstuck >_>

wary bane
#

I swear a lot. Then usually get out.. fight the mobs that come running, push the boat, then swear some more

Bonemass destroyed me TrophySkeleton

Use mace or iron sledge

oak river

He takes like .25 of the damage otherwise

#

Do I have to break his guard or something to stagger him?

wary bane
#

frost arrows if you have patience

oak river
#

Can't stagger him

#

Just dodge roll

fervent robin
#

Mace it is then.

still crow
#

You can cheese by standing on top of the skull and just wail on him with the iron sledge

fervent robin
#

As long as I have the weapon I need I can certainly just destroy him normally.

wary bane
#

he telegraphs his moves so you can dodgeroll avoid, with poison resist you can stay in his face for most of the fight and keep slapping that jelly

fervent robin
#

Alright, poison resistance mead and mace.

you killed any A-boms?

The root harnesk chest that you craft w those drops is hands down one of the best chest pieces in the whole game.

you should be able to craft armour from the abom drop that has innate poison resist (not quite as effective as the mead)

#

This may be an unpopular opinion, but for as awesome as Ashlands is, I feel like enemy spawns is a little overtuned (not talking about fortresses, just in general). I hope the next biome will be slightly more relaxed in that regard. Although I do appreciate being able to gather more materials due to this.

#

Maybe these are one-time spawns I'm running into, as I'm still exploring new territory. But Soooo many enemies constantly everywhere.

Tbh it was pretty fun solo 😄 tho a bit chaotic

It feels tuned for groups at times for sure. My first fortress, I used the ballista and boy did I have no clue what I was in for. But that was freaking awesome.

And no, it's not tuned for groups. The game already scales.

merry pebble

Not saying it was, just feels that way sometimes. I do appreciate the challenge though.

Yep, the birds warn you to prepare for war 😄

Don't engage with everything at once. That WILL make things harder.

I dont use sneak much, I'm sure it would help with that

Unless you enjoy the chaos and fighting ofcourse 😄

I try to avoid death walks if possible. Dont mind the occasional tough battle though haha

My only real gripe is lack of correct gems in fortresses. My ratio is 16:1:1 at the moment.

Hey, here is a weird issue I have been having recently... sometimes when I sleep, I get my full rested bonus (currently 22 minutes for level 15 rested), but other times I end up with only 8 minutes. My base is in the air, close enough to an outside fire on the ground, that I can sleep. Seems weird that it sometimes gives full buff and sometimes only 8 minutes when I sleep...

#

I'm guessing I need to be closer to fire?

merry pebble
elder stone
#

So start sleep after I see rested 15? I might be going to sleep prior to that occurring? That would make sense...... didn't think of that

merry pebble
#

No no, after you wake up wait a tiny bit before going to anywhere, stay a few seconds in the area that give you 15 comfort

elder stone
#

Oh, well I do do that when the full sleep doesn't accomplish it for me. I guess I was always under the impression sleeping automatically gives you whatever the rested bonus is for the comfort level at your bed area. So you actually have to be in that area for however many seconds it takes, even when sleeping?

#

In other words, thought sleeping auto triggered it.

merry pebble
#

That should be correct, i am not sure why it sometimes works and sometimes it does not for you 🤔

elder stone
#

Well I still find it weird that it gives 8 minutes sometimes. Would think it would be all or nothing.

#

Must be getting 3 comfort level or whatever it is for 8 minutes

#

But it is 15 everywhere in the room my bed is in

Tower shield blocks more if you simply turtle, but slow you down a lot when you have them out. With regular shields you can parry, not just block passively - which can stagger enemies.

Which is a lot of words to say the tower shield is noob-friendly. It feels easier to use at first, while one will quickly learn to appreciate the regular shields.

Stamina and stagger are life

vernal hinge
#

Gotcha, I think I'll go with the normal shield then. Parrying isn't all too hard yet, I've played a few other games with the same mechanic and the technique sort of translates

I imagine enemies get more difficult to parry as you progress though

Skelly was really more dangerous - but I knew how to handle them, the ghost was new and scary...

regal spoke
#

And early on they hit pretty hard too

eternal blade
#

I wonder why people keep recommending club for the burial chambers. Sure, enemies there are weak to blunt...but odds are you have level 3 flint axe at that point, but only level 1 club, because upgrading it costs bone fragments which you won't have in abundance before doing a few chambers. And club needs to be level 3 in order to beat level 3 flint axe in damage, considering the weakness. And most likely the player will have much better axe skill at that point, making it equal even at level 3...

nocturne wolf

I normally use an axe for them

Still at the beginning parts. I haven't even beat the first boss. I'm trying to get good armor and weapons but i assume I have to beat the first boss to unlock forge is what I found found online through a wiki

nocturne wolf
#

For the first boss you should have a level 2-3 shield and flint weapon, and a full set of level 1 leather armor. You don’t need anything from any other biomes, which includes the forge.

How do you even unlock the leather armor? What crafting stations do I need to get that part

You need to build an improvement next to your workbench to upgrade it. These are build pieces marked with a star on the build menu, in the crafting tab.

Okay noted

lunar sapphire
#

Valheim is a game where picking up everything you come across is vital for unlocking crafting recipes. If you're missing a recipe it'll be because you haven't picked up the remaining item or are at the wrong crafting station. Even not having upgrade parts next to stations will hide content

Will look into that and yeah that's what I noticed

I searched up "valheim AFK blood magic farm" and a really good Reddit post popped up. It appeared to utilize ||summoned skeletons shooting downwards at draugr summoned by a body pile that someone dug down into a pit and built a structure around||.

i'm probably just gonna set up a graydwarf farm and then slightly modify it to house two archer skellys. i tried a crypt with a body pile but they got bored and ended up killing the pile

I haven't used blood magic much but afk farms in Valheim have always been a bit tricky to navigate compared to games such as Terraria or Minecraft.
I've seen people both here and on youtube raise walls around a greydwarf farm and dig a pit, or make a stone wall around a surtling spawner with water immediately around the spawner so they die instantly.

Even then afk farming - outside of greydwarves - is a slow process as some spawners are specifically designed to only spawn mobs every 5 minutes or so.

#

Some people even use wolves, lox, or asksvins to auto farm greydwarves and I've done a bit of that myself

vocal rivet
marsh barn
#

yeah its definitely a slow process but i figure if i'm afk eating dinner or something i could keep it running and just get a bit more xp. trying to get myself ready to fight the queen, my two friends are lagging behind in progress so i wanna get as strong as i can so i can do some carrying

I like to use braziers primarily though. A greydwarf farm I made I noticed the greydwarves kept running towards a particular corner so that's where I placed the braziers

either way, it's over and done with, and i've gotten some actual helpful replies so all is well

lunar sapphire
#

Only thing I'll say to the situation earlier is if we can remember to actually read the questions being asked and keep in mind that Valheim is a sandbox game. People are always going to play differently to you so there's no need to provide your opinion on why X method of playing is a waste of time or such.

If you can't answer the question I'm sure somebody else can so just don't reply if you have nothing to contribute rcd

#

"How do I afk farm?"
"Why are you even bothering, what a waste of time!" - as an example. Not a necessary reply

shy marlin
#

decommands raiseskill blood magic 100 is a completely valid answer idk

lunar sapphire
#

Not really

shy marlin
#

it 100% is

lunar sapphire
#

If the person is doing a vanilla/no devcommands run it's not

shy marlin
#

Never once stated in the question

#

therefore it's a valid response

exotic cradle
#

"designs and ideas"

shy marlin
#

devcommands are an ingame design and an idea

#

just the same as spawning in rocks for a design in building

nocturne wolf
shy marlin
#

you can set a program and have it do 1/100ths at a time ez

lunar sapphire
#

Not that I'm trying to argue here, "most efficient/best for fully afk' is implying they're looking for in game mob farms to raise blood magic skills.
Devcommands wouldn't meet that critieria as it would completely negate the purpose for "afk skill farming"

shy marlin
#

dunno afk farming entails, zero work while getting increased skills, raising skills has the exact same outcome

lunar sapphire
#

It takes time to get the resources for making the farming structures/stone for raising the walls around a spawner.
Dig out a spot for greydwarves to fall and then use blood magic on safely.

shy marlin
#

Nah no shot, it takes literal 10 wood and 10 stone to set up an afk farm

lunar sapphire
#

If you're designing your own farm there's also a lot of trial and error to learn the best spawning mechanics and where to stand to safely use magic

shy marlin
#

minecraft farms have far more complexity and intellect behind them then valheim farms, that's the distinguishing factor

valheim farm = place down workbench raise wall summon skeletons

idk, based on the conversations we had, there was a significant amount of intellect behind this one

shy marlin
#

gonna agree to disagree on that one

lunar sapphire
#

Have you made afk farms per chance?

shy marlin
#

yea i've done it before multiple times actually

#

but it was for my brother because he wanted it

lunar sapphire
#

Idk to what extent you've made yours but there is a lot to them - especially so as Valheim's spawning mechanics work differently

as I've addressed above

You specifically have to enable the console and type in comands to achieve them, they are not 'in-game' in any way imaginable.

Regardless of whether devcommands are actually "in game," it might be best to settle the discussion by saying that their inclusion in one's playstyle should solely be up to the players since they are significantly more metagame than any other game mechanic in Valheim.

For what it’s worth, I decided to create two main saves: One for all my big ambitious builds in “Hammer Mode” where I spam the devcommands, and then my “Strugglebus” save where I play the game as it was intended to be played by the developers. I like this setup because it allows me to shift gears between playstyles and just do some chill building after a stressful grind.

Technically most of them, the only one that will completely block some crafting advancement is Moder. The others can be skipped with various amounts of inconvenience attached.

Well, skipping a boss will eventually slow down your progress anyhow, so I dunno how much it speeds your run up. But it's anyone's game - there's no wrong way of playing Valheim. Wanna skip the smelly swamp, skip it - and find ways around iron shortage.

Sry IronGates but the Ashland rn is just so bad. I love the game have over 600 hours in it and nothing is a bad as the ashland u just can not movew forward. U kill an enemy and 10 new spawn. Its laggy when ur playing with friends, audio bugs and visuale bugs. The fotresses are made with 0 love unlike the Mistland dungeons, they are so much fun and wild but the fotresses all same and not a unique experience. The lord Retro is also a scam. Make him a huge Fotress with traps and that kind and not just a reused Morgan cave. I really like your game but the Ashlands feel just made without much love. Sry for critism but compared to the rest of the game it just dont feel the same. Still appreciate ur work and the best survial game of all time for me. Fingers crossed just that the Deep North will be way better ❤️

is there a real reason why the battleaxes dont get their full movesets unless the user is in combat`?

tacit crystal
#

Too slow for your liking? Or something else?

real summit
# tacit crystal What do you mean by that?

when im not in combat the axes only do the slow horizontal swing, reset animation, slow swing again from the same direction. Makes cutting down trees or using it for other stuff than combat kinda annoying. Normally the axe does the slow swing, followup swing from the other direction and a top-bottom swing.

#

look silly

tacit crystal
#

Axes tend to reset their moveset when cutting trees.

real summit
#

but the two-hand battleaxes have an entire other moveset that it could utilize

tacit crystal
#

You could use faster secondary attack on single trees and primary attack for multiple trees since primary attacks have no multi target penalty so you deal same damage to multiple trees.

shy marlin
#

One of my fav combos is if your wood cutting skill is high enough and you initially chop the tree, you can do the axe secondary attack and make it so the tree splits apart in two as it's falling down, which often results in the 2 tree logs hitting each other in air and making the chopping process even easier

Do we know if weapon/upgrade balance will be something adjusted in 1.0?

gray sand
#

Yes they have mentioned 1.0 will have a balance pass involved.

Not sure what specifically you mean about upgrades needing balance though?

atomic frigate
#

because you can upgrade them but you cant max them without going into the ashlands, where they become redundant

gray sand
#

I highly doubt they are going to add every weapon to every biome, for one.

this goes for every single weapon in the game with few exceptions. I love how certain weapons gain spirit damage on upgrades and id love to see more of that

gray sand
#

Describe with math how making it "better enough to overcome pierce resistance" does not make it "brokenly overpowered as fuck vs. all non-resistant enemies", please.

atomic frigate
#

And two of the ashlands weapons deal pierce dmg, which also objectively sucks in that biome

gray sand
#

No, lol.

#

Scale issue. Massively.

shy marlin
#

I think it's a valid criticism that the ashlands gems could use some love NeckSmile

gray sand
#

Will there be a balance pass? Yes.
Will you get what you specifically want? No 😂 Not even close.

How to get what you want: Mod.

"Hur dur I run 3 hp food to purposefully put myself at low hp and have very low stamina which cripples myself even more to only do marginally better dmg than lightning dmg builds"

is it just me or do copper deposits and other resource nodes only have a partial chance to drop their main resource?

#

I just mined like 20 sections and unless they fell into a wormhole I only picked up 4

#

I'm sorry but the strat just doesn't work

#

It's just not good in comparison to literally anything else

gray sand
#

The strat you described? Yes. That's why I said "not how to run it."

shy marlin
#

That's literally the best way to run it

gray sand
#

🙄

atomic frigate
#

also spears need soo much love

shy marlin
#

If you're thinking hur dur snipe with blood from rage lightning does that just fine and does it even better tbh

gray sand
#

My favorite weapon in the game needs love?

atomic frigate
#

favorite =/= objectiveness

gray sand
#

High damage with the fastest attack speed in the game?

atomic frigate
#

the wolf fang is a lovely weapon and i make it every time, that doesnt mean that spears are actually good

atomic frigate
#

imagine the poor little viking who made the bronze spear and the flint spear on his first playthrough just to make the iron spear in the mountains and miss every single attack because of terrain

pierce dmg is goated idk its probably the strongest weapon type dmg

#

simply cause op weapons do pierce lol

atomic frigate
# regal spoke How

Golems, the entirety of the ashlands, seekers, the queen, bonemass, blobs, abominations

#

blunt is the same way but its still good because of knockback and generally unique weapons

The weapon with the best AoE in the game is a stab weapon 😄

Atgeirs have AoE with absurdly high stagger levels 😄

regal spoke
#

Depends if sword doesn't have multi target penalty

gray sand
#

Is legit the king of weapons until you reach Ashlands where it finally falls off.

atomic frigate
#

yes, but theres only 5 of them in the game compared to the spear at every level except silver

#

oh wait im crazy, i retract my statement

shy marlin
#

fang spear is so cheap yea it's actually crazy

atomic frigate
#

acting like i didnt just use the fang spear in my current playthrough

#

except for black metal is what i meant to say

regal spoke
#

Ancient Bark spear is best spear. I don't typically upgrade again until Mist

shy marlin
#

skip fang spear? with how cheap it is?

gray sand
#

Ye.

regal spoke
#

Yea Scales mostly on looks if I'm honest

shy marlin
#

word

regal spoke
#

Plus the upgrade doesn't have that big of an impact. As the swamp spear holds up well enough. Despite being inefficient

gray sand
#

Fang Spear being the only silver weapon with no spirit damage 😭

regal spoke
#

Oh that would sway my perspective

shy marlin
#

my thought process is silver is just so easy to get and fang spear is already super cheap why not just get it but idk

gray sand
#

If Fang Spear did spirit damage, Silver Sword would have competition for "BiS vs. Yag"

shy marlin
#

nah no way what's the math on that

#

how much spirit would it have to do

gray sand
#

Highest attack speed meaning fastest stacking of the spirit DoT.

regal spoke
#

Your not wrong on the decision for fang spear in general though

#

Can secondary on spear potentially edge out sword as well

shy marlin
regal spoke
#

Fair point

I had someone try to explain what an avocado number was to me once and it still doesn't make sense.

shy marlin
#

you know how 1km is 1000m

#

or a dozen of eggs is 12 eggs

gray sand
shy marlin
#

"avocado" number is 1 mol is this amount of atoms that's all it is

gray sand
regal spoke
#

No. But silver sword is all metal. Fang spear is stick and fang. Don't even know where the silver goes

gray sand
#

(Yes I am aware of who discovered the number and his actual name, I just don't get why it was a "significant discovery")
