lol, the bosses are fun though.

[gray sand]

someone can ignore everything and just kill mobs? lol

[gray sand]

Danger link is dangerous.

[digital iron]

id say worse than that, he plays cs 1.6 occasionally to this day lol

[gray sand]

That tracks.

Let me guess, he's into Rivals too?

[digital iron]

nah not rivals or atleast i haven't catched him yet playing rivals lol

[gray sand]

catched 😭

[flat lily]

You just explained everything there lol

[digital iron]

my bad, caught :d

[gray sand]

Word usage is why he doesn't want to play Valheim with you 😏

[digital iron]

lol could be yea ;dd

[keen trench]

🐱 ched, irregular form just for felines hunting

[digital iron]

what potions do you guys use mostly? i always have ratatosk and troll endurance with me all the time

oh and medium healing mead as well

[balmy seal]

Ok, how am I meant to move boars to a new base? Or is it not possible

[flat lily]

Ratatosk, lingering stam, lingering eitr, and major healing are mine.

[keen trench]

depends a lot on the biome ofc, but ratatosk is almost always there, also barley wine since i craft feather cape for obvious reasons

[flat lily]

Either some harpoon messing around or you use the teleport everything mod.

[pliant hatch]

You can use different ways.

1. create a pathing with the round pole fences (or 1m high walls) and push them through that.
2. you can use the abysmal harpoon to drag them.
3. On a boat, but that last will be tricky if you have to sail a lot.

[balmy seal]

I tried harpooning them but it doesn't appear to work

[keen trench]

you have to turn on friendly fire for that

[flat lily]

Though if I'm feeling like using mostly melee, I use the berserker sometimes.

[balmy seal]

Ah I see

[digital iron]

how relevant is barley vine in other biomes except ashalnds? i don't think its super necessary

[flat lily]

I mean I hardly even use it in the ashlands tbh.

[keen trench]

uhm, feather cape gets you "very weak" to fire, even a standard torch wielding fuling can become a itch, and they become common night spawns after Yag, also in mistlands 100% needed because of Gjalls

[flat lily]

Oh yeah, hate those fat flying shits.

[keen trench]

oh ofc also lightfoot in mistlands, can be done without but saves me a lot of frustration

[flat lily]

I bet

[azure yacht]

for what?

[tiny tiger]

The map table bringing up the map and retaining its current functionality, making it an optional feature for no map runs to be able to come back to base and charter what you’ve explored

Provides a nice medium between not wanting to have a map available at all times and over relying on it and not having a map at all

[pliant hatch]

Frankly speaking, the cartographer's table does have a function in solo play. One that's most likely overlooked, but it's actually useful.

You can use it to register all discoveries made with one character on it, then use it later with another character to reveal all those discoveries.
It would make exploration with a 2nd / 3rd or whatever character you play on that world easier.
Yes, it most like will also remove some of the exploration fun, but it's still something the table can be used for.

[tiny tiger]

I wonder how common that is to continue playing on the same world with another character because that’s the first time I’m hearing of the concept lol, I’ve had several worlds per character but never several characters per world

[regal spoke]

Another option to avoid mods for no-map. Just use printseeds (if seed is unknown). Then view the seed in the map site. So now you're viewing the world externally. But you still have to be good at navigating.

[pliant hatch]

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

[regal spoke]

I'm not inclined to this way. I've brought a second character on one server ever. Started as a mule for a situation and turned into an alt to play with different weapons.

[azure yacht]

Having a map in a NO map playthrough is the complete opposite of what no map is

[tiny tiger]

Don’t worry I thought of that too thankfully, players who want to continue that experience can continue not using the map table

[azure yacht]

Feels like the screenshot channel should have its own separate discussion channel

it's strictly forbidden to "discuss" there but where else can questions about the screenshot in question be had? General is general and this one it about the overall game

[regal spoke]

So, this isn't the place for the question to begin with?

[steel copper]

The cooking craft stations have an upgrade tab is this because all of them do and just left over or will they ever by used for anything?

[pliant hatch]

It's a left over from using the same lay-out as the other crafting stations.

[light moat]

#building-screenshots message @harsh echo mad jealous of that island. Build looks crazy good too!

[harsh echo]

cheers, im happy to share the seed if you like

[light moat]

I appreciate it! But I’m looking for a similar island on my existing world
Thanks though!

[steel copper]

I mined about 500 flametal but now when I mine it the flametal the rock formations don't sink is that bug?

[nocturne wolf]

The chance for them to sink is very low

[merry pebble]

It is 1% per hit currently

[steel copper]

they used to sink every time when Ashlands came out but I was still able to mine tons anyway it never affected me

[merry pebble]

I think they could increase it to 2-5% to still keep the chances somewhat low but for the mechanic to be actually encountered quite often

[steel copper]

I got like 45-60 per fision

now it seems too easy

[light moat]

Getting flametal is extremely easy either way- either through looting or mining 🤔

[gray sand]

Valheim? Nerfing interesting things to make the game way easier without cause? No... that never happens...

Certainly not every single content update after casuals complain incessently...
😏

[steel copper]

one is easier than the other. Having it sink in the middle of a lake of lava is dangerous, now that danger has gone

[light moat]

Oh I don’t disagree- I’m all for increasing the chance of the pillars sinking.

[gray sand]

If removing sinking, create chance for lava flare up when striking. 🤔

[merry pebble]

We have that basically with the lava balls flying up, its just not tied to mining 🤷‍♂️

[tacit crystal]

Chances are low, but never zero.

Meanwhile me, who was going to mine 3 flametal pillars in same area and 2 of them were immediately triggered the sinking. 🥲

[merry pebble]

Yeah, RNG be doing stuff 😄 but i really think it could be increased slightly

[gray cairn]

Is rocky the pet rock an actual item, or simply an april fools joke? I'd love to have one in my builds

[nocturne wolf]

It's real

[light moat]

I will say, I can see and understand that perspective of not wanting an integral material being linked to RNG. I’m cool with RNG, but I know of some others (🟩 🐩 ) that have issues with it. And in this case, I can see why the flametal casino could be annoying 🤔

[gray cairn]

Amazing, I'm only at black forest so idk how to make/find it, but I'm hyped.

[heady parcel]

I haven't really grasped how those are found, do they spawn randomly anywhere stones can spawn, or in set locations per seed? And how many locations are there in that case? Can't say I've looked hard - but I've run around a lot and kept an eye out and found diddley squat..

[gray cairn]

They're supposed to just spawn like that on the ground or smth?

[nocturne wolf]

They spawn past 1000m from world centre in meadows, black forest, swamps and mountains between 5 and 20m altitude. There is no set amount that spawn.

[heady parcel]

I've probably run past a few of them then...

[gray cairn]

Time to pick up every single lone rock out there lmao

[quasi latch]

They're different from the other stones, though

[royal seal]

for breeding: Do you only need to be close till the pink hearts show or till the baby is born?

also the breeding limit, is it based on all tamed livestock or just ones of the same species?

[gray sand]

Limit is based on space available.
Animals of all kinds take up sapce.

[royal seal]

ahhh, gotcha. I thought it was based on how many animals are nearby. Time to expand my wolf-boar pen, then.

[gray sand]

The factory must grow.
-# Wait, wrong game 😏

[heady parcel]

Angry lox chasing down a deer and demolishing it, lox sure do have a temper problem. Angry beasts...

[errant crag]

Aarghh! I did not expect that growls while looking innoncent with big eyes

[stable crest]

Any ETA on the deep north?

[heady parcel]

Mob appreciation statement - Ghosts are awesome. I never realised just how cool their visuals were until I got the wraith/ghost raid recently - inside the burial chambers you can't really see much more than a purple haze that does heavy damage to you. But outside you can see them, and they look truly otherwordly and totally evil, great design in all its simplicity.

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

So your guess will be as good as that of the rest of us.

[gray sand]

I mean... I think my guess is spot-on 😏

[heady parcel]

If I find a speck of map that is totally broken - missing textures etc - is that of interest in a bug report, with seed etc? I just came across a bit where a pretty substantial chunk of the the map is just missing - looks like an abyss into the innards of the world. I'm NOT trying to walk there...

[nocturne wolf]

Could you show us in #screenshots?

[heady parcel]

Sec

[heady parcel]

#screenshots message

First time I've come across something like this in a half dozen worlds and just short of 2k hours of gameplay, I'd say it is not very common...

[cloud wave]

hi

[pliant hatch]

Have you restarted Valheim and / or your PC after finding that "gap"?

[heady parcel]

Not yet no, I am examining it right now. Seems the missing piece is perfectly square. Apart from trees there is no ground debris anywhere near here (like rocks, branches, undergrowth) so the entire area looks a little off.

[nocturne wolf]

Seems like an entire zone didn't generate for whatever reason
Can you give the seed and show where you are on the map?

[pliant hatch]

If it's perfectly square, it most likely means there's a mapgrid missing.

You could restart all to see if it's still missing after that.
If it is; you could contact the Devs through https://valheim.com/support

[heady parcel]

Is there a way to get my map coord?

[nocturne wolf]

If you're ok with using devcommands, use the pos command

[heady parcel]

Aright, perfect, gimme a sec

[unreal moth]

hello, me and my friends just finished killing fader. anyone got a guess when the next update is gonna release?

[pliant hatch]

Well..........

#valheim-chat message

[heady parcel]

Seed is pgJ5jWuU8W and position is -2174, 32, -3294

[unreal moth]

dang. gonna wait a long time then

[heady parcel]

Phew - after restart the ground is back! Just a temporary hickup

[tacit crystal]

It will be worth the wait.

[pliant hatch]

Just as long as the rest of us.

[unreal moth]

Yeah. i just hope The deep north is not as hard as the Ashlands.

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn't it be?

[stable crest]

I can’t wait for it to come out, I m playing 7 days to die til then

[tacit crystal]

It has been said it will be hard but not as tedious as Ashlands.

[merry pebble]

It will most likely be as hard or harder 🙂 just quite likely in different way

[tacit crystal]

There will be moments of peace too.

[unreal moth]

im so done with lava pools

[unreal moth]

https://tenor.com/view/polvoron-gato-war-flashbacks-recuerdos-de-guerra-traumatizado-gif-17714149605432288357

[tacit crystal]

We don't know about what hazards there will be. Might be the cold environment, according to the last dev blog post.

[nocturne wolf]

We still haven't seen what those seals are capable of

[merry pebble]

Well, bouncing adorably, duh xD

[unreal moth]

Thanks for the input everyone. see you all on the next update. 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Let's hope it doesn't stand for Sea Air Land or have any other special forces abilities. Otherwise we get the "OMG! The Seals are too hard! Need a nerf!" yells within 20 seconds the first players entered the Deep North.

[merry pebble]

That will happen regardless i fear... There will always be those kinds of people.

[heady parcel]

I will never forget the first time I walked a little too far in my very first world, looking for a swamp I found one - but just nearby there was this little village with bonfires. So I walked a little closer to see what it was, some green guy came at me and I killed him - then his big brother came and I tried blocking with my wooden shield. Er, oops

[pliant hatch]

Lucky you.

Most who ventured into the Plains for the first time heard: "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt" and saw the black screen with "You died" appear.

[ember panther]

I feel that's a right of passage. The plains looks so welcoming. I saw one of them giant rocks across a river and began to swim over cause it looked cool. Then a deathsquito killed me in the water. I had to make a bridge to get my stuff back after MANY deaths

[heady parcel]

Yeah. This wasn't even a plains, it was just a tiny little pocket of plains jammed between the first swamp I found and meadows. It contained a fuling village and nothing more - but that was quite enough for me to avoid that part of the world for weeks after that incident...

Didn't meet my first deathsquito until much later

But that of course ended up leading to the need to craft a new boat to get my stuff back..

[heady parcel]

The way those things actively camp your grave is downright evil..

[pliant hatch]

Well, if it comforts you (a bit), I started playing around the time H&H was released. Had done some reading, so I knew what to expect.

Was exploring the BF not long after defeating Eithyr in my first game, got close to the plains and immediately was like: "Nope, nope, NOPE!".
So left and was attacked by a Greydwarf, then a second and a third and the rest of that darn nest I hadn't spotted before.
Tried to run away, got stuck between two rocks, tried to block the Greydwarf that attacked me, heard the buzzing and ended up death before I even could check where the bugger came from.

[vocal rivet]

Wait...sea, air, land. Oh God.

[heady parcel]

In the teaser they looked like seals with reindeer antlers, so maybe they kinda fill both ecological niches - sea mammals and brainless herds wandering the mountains and forest slopes of the Deep North.

I'm willing to bet that if any they will be the animal you can tame there

[tacit crystal]

More like ram horns IMO.

[heady parcel]

Were they curved? My chicken memory at play then..

[vocal rivet]

That's certainly what they want you to think.

[heady parcel]

Yeah to be fair it is way to early to even try and speculate

I mean, if they want to take anything from the actual real world to DN there is really not that much to pick from. Polar bears, walrus, penguins, reindeer, orcas, and maybe arctic fox filling the niche of the misthare...

The horned seals will probably be the only thing even remotely resembling any real life wildlife

[pliant hatch]

I don't think Penguins will be added no matter how cold the DN will be. They're original from the South Pole, so I'm quite certain the Vikings never saw them.

[nocturne wolf]

All the penguins had to evolve into voltures after the waters in ashlands became too hot

[heady parcel]

Agreed, only mentioned them since they're well known (ant)arctic animals. I'd be very surprised if anything penguin-like appeared in the Deep North.

[quasi latch]

painguins - like deathsquitos, but penguins

[heady parcel]

Oh gods don't give them ideas lol

[quasi latch]

invisible assassins that only give sound cues, because we didn't get enough of that with ghosts

[heady parcel]

Flying up from the sea to skewer you in your boat

[nocturne wolf]

They'd slide toward you at high speeds

[quasi latch]

"You are being hunted" event to go with it

immunity to melee attacks so that you have to shoot them while they zoomin

[nocturne wolf]

Melee should always be an option

[quasi latch]

basically kovaaks with projectile physics

[pliant hatch]

And the only ones vulnerable to frost arrows......

[regal spoke]

As long as they set on fire when I lung shot em with a fire arrow

[heady parcel]

I've spent the better part of the last two hours sailing around to explore, and I swear the wind has moved with me to be exactly opposite to my heading the entire time. I know wind direction is on a set time table - but it is bloody eerie how that time table always seems to work against me... Aargh!

[regal spoke]

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[heady parcel]

And nah, moder's power - if I ever remembered to go take it before exploreing I would forget taking something useful before the next boss fight, so better to paddle along when I need to...

[regal spoke]

That only gets you through a few minutes of wind shenanigans

[pliant hatch]

IMHO Moder's power is only good in a co-op game with at least 4 people.
Because that way you can use it almost "all the time", given the duration of 5 minutes and the 20 minute cooldown.

[heady parcel]

I never even tried it - had no idea it was time limited. So now I definitely will never bother haha

[nocturne wolf]

All forsaken powers have the same duration and cooldown

[merry pebble]

Usually Moders power is useful when the wind suddenly turns against you while at sea, the 5 minutes is also usually enough for the wind to switch directions again and if it doesent before you run out of the effect then you usually dont have to wait much longer 🙂

[heady parcel]

Problem is really not the duration, it is its very niche use paired with the hassle with returning to the stones to get another power after the trip. Less hassle to just paddle when you have the wind against you. Normally that doesn't really have much of an impact, except in cases as my last two hours of sailing where the wind direction schedule happened to coincide - in a negative way - with my course.

It could very well be a permanent state as long as you have the power chosen, and it wouldn't be unbalanced imo. You still need to forsake Bonemass or some other actually useful power to have it.

[merry pebble]

The "hassle of returning to the stones" should entail 1 or 2 jumps through the portal really 😅

[heady parcel]

Not everyone bring a pocket portal along wherever they go 😄

And there's the no-portal thingy

[vernal hinge]

You can’t cultivate Berries or Mushrooms right? Just want to make sure because I saw a Reddit post 4 years ago that speculated they were gonna add it

[merry pebble]

True, but that is not the default setting most people are using 🙂

[merry pebble]

Nope, you cant

[heady parcel]

Nope, just the Mistlands mushrooms

[nocturne wolf]

You can cultivate vineberries, magecaps and jotun puffs but no other berries or mushrooms

[vernal hinge]

That’s a shame, I need mad blubes for the meals I’m trying to make

[heady parcel]

Just make a run through whatever black forest, it is impossible to not come across enough blueberries for a stack or two

[pliant hatch]

Mark the locations on the map, so you know where to go looking for them.

[heady parcel]

If you mark blueberry clusters on your map you can plan the most efficient runs as well

[vernal hinge]

I’m gonna go set up a portal at the elder because I just found him, I’ll grab some on the way

I also need Boar meat, but I can’t bring myself to kill the ones I bred, it’s too heartbreaking

[pliant hatch]

If that Elder altar is high enough above the water, mine out the area under it.
It'll make for a great portal hub, but it's also a good spot to return to the BF to grab resource later.

[vernal hinge]

Yeah I was planning on it, saw it in one the videos I watched. On a side note, how many fire arrows would you bring? I have 200 is that overkill?

[heady parcel]

My trick is to name the ones that are "mine" and let them breed offspring that are just "boar" or "hen" or whatever. No emotion attached, much easier to cull them when needed.

[celest acorn]

Gonna start a valheim d&d campaign:D

[heady parcel]

The named ones live on, oblivious to me making their little ones into feasts...

[vernal hinge]

You’re evil 😭

[heady parcel]

Cool! I am of the opinion that a powerful DnD construction tool like the one in Neverwinter Nights, paired with the game engine of Valheim, would be the ultimate online tool to really muddle the border between tabletop and pc rpgs

[pliant hatch]

That's what I always do.
Have a pair of boars, feed them, let them have piglets, kill of the unnamed off spring.
Works like a charm.

[heady parcel]

2* soljers, the damage sponges of the universe. Gods below.

[bitter canyon]

any tips on a first time boar breeding and how to

[heady parcel]

Just make a pen from where they can't escape. Not too big - or they won't interact - but not too small or the space won't be enough for them to breed.

Eventually, try and get a roof over the animal pen, so certain flying threats can't get to them

Automated breeders etc is overkill and really not necessary, any time invested into constructing them will never be paid back

[rotund parrot]

Just be aware that there's a limit on how many you can have until they stop breeding. There's no need to feed them constantly, you can give a couple of them 2 meals and that will be enough to make enough babies to reach the limit. Then once they are grown up you can harvest all of them but 2 and repeat the process.

[sage condor]

Hey are there any updated Roleplay Servers on Val?

[vocal rivet]

Probably. Try #1024264966712340510

[sage condor]

i did and most of their discord links are expired

[vocal rivet]

Have you messaged any of them?

[plush umbra]

do training dummys have weaknesses and/or resistances?

[sage condor]

nah i did not

[vocal rivet]

They don't exist.

[merry pebble]

You may want to try that 😉

[plush umbra]

yes they do

[plush umbra]

if u use commands

[vocal rivet]

Well, if you're spawning in removed content that's on you.

[merry pebble]

Yeah the old draugr model, i dont know if it has any weaknesses or resistances but i wouldnt think so

You can try in game if any type of dmg shows yellow or grey numbers

[azure yacht]

I'm sure that is very easily tested by just using every type of dmg

[weak basin]

if anyone wants to help. #valheim-help message (idk)

[vocal rivet]

You're being helped in that channel. You don't need to spam every other channel.

could add a little nod to valheim somehow

[gray cairn]

Re-visiting my worlds that I havev't touched in years is really emotional.

Are you guys able to delete worlds completely after a playthrough? I just can't bring myself to do it, too many memories.

[unkempt rampart]

Any swedes here?

[azure yacht]

the developers

[shy marlin]

🫡 died to moder on my no armor no pot run

(all bosses are on vh difficulty so basically it's do bosses no hit)

made it pretty far first attempt for just winging it mostly i'm impressed

[pliant hatch]

Well, I think I had a spot of luck.

Just left a tower I use as portal base to explore a mountain range, as I need a load of Wolf Fur to craft the last tier of my Fenris Armor.
About 50 or so meters out, I got the "You are being hunted" event.
So I ran back, entered the ladder and it's just shooting chickens in a barn right now. 😄

I think after this event I may have more than enough wolf fur for the armor upgrade and even to craft the Wolf armor for my "armory" later. 🙂

Total "harvest": 26 meat, 33 wolf pelts and 12 fangs. With a cost of 20-ish Obsidian arrows. Not bad for 2 minutes of "work". 😄

[knotty veldt]

how does getting to moder work with no pot? you need frost resist don't you?

[shy marlin]

bonfires

mountains is very unfun that's the thing i learned

[knotty veldt]

Damm you're over here doing this and I'm struggling to survive mistlands normally 😭😭

[shy marlin]

mistlands is a rough one vast majority sturggle with it you're in good hands

[calm schooner]

anyone know when deep north is coming out? I think that is the last biome we need.

[pliant hatch]

No-one knows.

[ashen geyser]

have you tried the ooze bombs on that event? its crazy op

[charred thistle]

Looking for someone to teach me.
I'm looking for someone who has an intricate knowledge of how to:

1. create a modpack on thunderstore/r2modman
2. install modpack onto a Gportal server
3. Install servercharacters and azuanticheat on same gportal server

This person would need to have the patience to teach a crotchety old man who had to take 077 algebra 4 times in college (its not even college level algebra).

Friend me and we can talk!

[pliant hatch]

I didn't bring those with me. I was hunting for lone wolves, not expecting the event to trigger.
I could've portaled back, get them and use them, but with the bow was just as much fun.

Standing on a ladder, shooting everything that entered through the door. Which meant two shots for each wolf. Worked quite well.

[pliant hatch]

You may consider to post that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

It's likely someone in there has more knowledge and can / is willing to help you.

[charred thistle]

thanks!

[royal seal]

man, I really hope they add a transmog/cosmetic armour feature :<

[light moat]

Hmm might make for an interesting reward for completing all of Hildirs quests perhaps? 🤔

[royal seal]

I could see it, through something you build like the hair station thing? Though I also wouldn't say no to it being available early

[azure yacht]

no

[light moat]

Lots of people asking about the Deep North recently, wonder if there has been a surge in Valheim?

[vocal rivet]

A surge?

[tepid prawn]

Player increase they mean I believe

[shy marlin]

People just growing anxious, ashlands ptb is about to hit 1 yr of age

[wooden tapir]

1yr inbetween major updates is pretty normal imo

[quasi latch]

Pet rock announcement → people play Valheim → people wonder if Valheim will get another update

[wooden tapir]

idk why people are anxious

[shy marlin]

yea fo sho

[unkempt rampart]

How is it going for everyone?

[gray sand]

I mean, that's how long it is between people updates irl 😏

[slow leaf]

Wait can you actually parry ashlands mobs with the dual axes?

[unkempt rampart]

How much skills do you lose per death?

[shy marlin]

ye

[slow leaf]

All of them? These things can't parry anything starred I assume

[regal spoke]

5% of all skills by default

[shy marlin]

well yea ofc

but can parry a lot of the things you want to parry with

dunno really why you would want to parry with axes tho can stagger lock just by attacking pretty easily

[sand vault]

Hey Im brand new to this game and I saw there is fishing in it. Anyone have an extra fishing rod I could have? Just wanna be a fisherman.

[slow leaf]

Not saying I do, I was just surprised. And wondering how the f*** people complain that Ashlands is too hard

[supple nova]

new to the server, not quite sure how to navigate the LFG SChannel, looking to play a little modded with some people

[shy marlin]

Word. I think ashlands catches people off guard and rather than improve and learn how to navigate the biome they just complain and give up

When you realize mastering ashlands is just getting good at killing stuff fast it's really really simple

[slow leaf]

Honestly its so boring

I should just go kill fader and be done with it

[shy marlin]

yea 🙃 that's my general consensus with ashlands too

[slow leaf]

Hopefully Deep North will actually be interesting

[shy marlin]

Their vision for it seems cool so far. Hope they can do it right and make it be the best biome yet

Final biome has got to be the best imo

[slow leaf]

Definitely lookong forward to building there at least, although with the sea level mountains biomes near ashlands there's really no difference

[tepid prawn]

I m building a base there rn, the water is red just 1-2m from shore haha

[gray sand]

Can parry everything that is not two starred.

[rotund bay]

I found hildir and the bogwitch, but not haldor
man

[shy marlin]

bog witch best trader

[tepid prawn]

I thought you're not meant to have a favourite "child" 😛

[shy marlin]

bog witch is my queen

I'd do anything for her

[tepid prawn]

She is amazeballs sure, Haldor has the belt and barrel hoops and fishing stuff which is super OP, Hildir needs to step up a bit I think.

Hey guys - check this

eh? eh?

[shy marlin]

hildir = scam and that's just true and real 😏

imagine making us sail for the iron pits

[tepid prawn]

The farm clothes are pretty good though, the rest could improve

[shy marlin]

yea, farm clothes are a one and done kinda thing tho

[tepid prawn]

and the barber kit unlocks hairstyles you can not choose at beginning of game afaik

[shy marlin]

never see hairstyles with most helmets 🤙

[cobalt canyon]

I....always leave my characters default so I guess I never thought of that

[tepid prawn]

sad but true, could get away without one though until equipping it sometimes in swamp for poison resistance, and then when you get full fenris o when you need more armour in mist or ashlands

[rotund bay]

while tru, love me feasts
I needa dem belt and barrel hoops from haldor 😔

[tepid prawn]

the new meads > feasts imo, feasts are good, the new meads are making my viking unable to be sober anytime at all

[rotund bay]

extra hard to transport dragon eggs without the belt

[rotund bay]

that's true, I have been chugging ratatosks for a while now and my fermentors have been working overtime because of it

[shy marlin]

berserker potion, speed potion, and jump potion and insanely strong

honestly deserve a nerf imo

[tepid prawn]

and lightfood, and troll mead from very early on, then have some anti-sting for naked plains corpse run when you fought fulings and 4 of them were starred when bm was on cd

[tepid prawn]

don't touch popeyes spinach...

[cobalt canyon]

never after the feather cape

[tepid prawn]

having enough zerker mead does require a bit of farming, also only works while bm is active

[rotund bay]

any method for fishing without fishing rods? haven't found haldor yet and I kinda want the anti mosquito mead

[cobalt canyon]

hoe. Kind of. Usually it just falls underground.

[rotund bay]

damn

[tepid prawn]

yes, you can build traps but its not super efficient and can be very tricky, sometimes fish jump on land or boat too near shore on very low lying land, in storms escpecially

[shy marlin]

eh does not only work while bonemass is up

you're dodge roll stamina cost is also reduced with berserker mead

it's not a purely offensive mead it's also a defensive one

[tepid prawn]

without bm that negative effect kills me too oftn, you forget we're not all as "scaled" as you!

[shy marlin]

while it's nice to have bm up it's not necessary for the potion to be effective 🙂

[tepid prawn]

fair, but if you use it that often you'll need to farm even more stuff including coin

[cobalt canyon]

[rotund bay]

bog witch got the coins flowin

[tepid prawn]

I m a bit short on coin because of her

buying all the mead ingredients all the time

burial. crypt, caves and fuling villages are limited

[rotund bay]

I'm trying to be free of my spear addiction on this run and try a different approach with sneak knife and bow with a mace on the side
so far it's been hard to resist the temptation of crafting a spear lol

[woven nebula]

do i need flint to make pickaxes

or kill the first boss

[tepid prawn]

I'm bad at throwing them...

[woven nebula]

me and my friend just started and cant figure it out 😭

[tepid prawn]

no flint, you need to kill first boss to make pickaxe

[woven nebula]

👍

[tepid prawn]

first boss is often called tuturial boss, he is easy to defeat

[rotund bay]

I kinda wish the spear skill also improved the throwing speed and reduce spear drop so it flies farther

[woven nebula]

should we make sheilds and are sheilds needed

[tepid prawn]

shields are good especially bucklers but no need for first boss

[rotund bay]

btw, is there anything we ca use the thunderstone other than the obliterator?

[tepid prawn]

any weapon will do, most fun imo is flint spear though (ranged and melee both), also maybe the crude bow is also good for it, flint knife also great to beat him with, but even wooden club works

[tepid prawn]

no

[woven nebula]

thank you
any way i can prevent campfires from going out during thunderstorms?
i keep it under a roof but it still goes out

[rotund bay]

if you have a friend, yeah one can tank and one can dps since it's the first time you're fighting a boss
taking a safe approach is good

[woven nebula]

okay

[tepid prawn]

you have to make a bit of a chimney sorta, also if they wind blows too strong from a side, it will go out, just needs a bit more wind protection

[woven nebula]

👍 after i kill the first boss will i be able to make stone walls? and are there windows/glass

[rotund bay]

would've been nice to have a boss themed weapon using eikthyr parts and the thunderstone
a missed opportunity, but maybe iron gate has other plans for it

[tepid prawn]

spoilery a bit but stone walls usually after 2nd boss, and glass windows in the 4th biome

[woven nebula]

thank you ❤️

[rotund bay]

and stone cutter legit only need to be roofed to make a grinding wheel, then its deconstructed, kinda sad

[tepid prawn]

||You can also get the stuff to build with stone before killing the 2nd boss, you have to be very careful and go out at night into the third biome, to get 2 iron to unlock stone building, they drop from a monster that is out at night, and the night is more dangerous especially in third biome, you will probably die a bit||

[woven nebula]

since i want to stay spoiler free i wont click this
but thanks

[tepid prawn]

oki

also you can theorhetically get the stuff for windows as soon as you load into the game, its not gated behind bosses but you'd have to be an absolut combat and skill god to pull it off that early

and for non spoilery stone building, there is a way to do it before killing 2nd boss, but its unlikely you stumble upon that with normal gameplay as a new player without knowing all the details

[rain flare]

I love them - but I am equally bad 😂
If I don’t under/over cook the throw distance wise, I sometimes just miss the thing entirely! 🤣😂🤭

Why am I so bad at this?!?
Just throw it straight damn it!!! 🤭🤭🤭

[rain flare]

Weeeeell, I’m not that good and I cooked it in troll gear

Pretty sure you can manage it with a little bit of an upgrade

Just….
Don’t try to do mountains in rags
That is suicide 😂

[undone steeple]

I spent an hour naked in the mountains attempting to get my stuff back yesterday 😂 no frost resist, no food, just me running up a mountain. Did actually make it eventually with corpse run and a small amount of food but that was a journey 😂

[hot herald]

oh my

[echo wind]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-star-trek-gif-19129737

[heady parcel]

The feasts are awesome as decorations - they look so good - and their long duration make the higher tier ones into great food alternatives as well. I use the mid-tier ones as base-loitering foods.

[rapid basalt]

hi peeps, i was playing with my bro and the game lagged out, i died from a melee mob that hit me from 10 meters away and i died, i log back in the server theres no tomb, how do i get my items back

[heady parcel]

Sounds like the server was probably in the process of saving when that happened, and latency caused your grave to not get saved. Your stuff is most likely gone forever. In this situation I would hop on a single player world and use devcommands to spawn new items to compensate.

[rapid basalt]

thats dumb

[heady parcel]

I've never had it happen myself, but it can happen on shaky connections.

[exotic cradle]

we endorse cheating in this case, just spawn the gear back in or something because it wasn't your fault 🥲

[heady parcel]

Yeah desync deaths in any game will rub me the wrong way bigtime, it is so frustrating

[rapid basalt]

anyway to reload the character or world before though

[nocturne wolf]

You can load an automatic backup with the manage saves button

[heady parcel]

Yeah, you could roll back to the latest backup

[rapid basalt]

o.o i found the backup saves

aight got my stuff back no cheats

[summer oar]

is there any way to see which building i have already built and how many of them ? buildings like workbenches, smetlers, etc ? sometimes i cant remember which things i have built, which not, unless i visually inspect all my buildings

[azure yacht]

no

[vocal rivet]

None of those are buildings anyway.

[summer oar]

what are they called, structures ?

[azure yacht]

build pieces, work stations

[frosty cypress]

someone have a good seed suggestion that has all the stuffs?

[final bloom]

Is the Pet rock still available? Or it was just a joke?

[nocturne wolf]

It is real
And still available

[final bloom]

Gotta open my world to get one for my bedroom

[celest acorn]

@near furnace , if the roots in the Mistlands give you sap, then do the branches of the giant tree in the sky do the same?!?!?!

[nocturne wolf]

The tree in the sky has no collision and doesn't do anything, it's just decoration

[celest acorn]

No, if we could

*could get there and walk on it

[shy marlin]

Prolly

[merry pebble]

Then most likely yes, they came from it.

[celest acorn]

Also, would the sap be weaker or stronger

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️

[near furnace]

how should I know?

[celest acorn]

Just make up the answer

[shy marlin]

Smiffe | Yggdrasil Expert

[pliant hatch]

Could be worse.

Imagine "Yggdrasil | Smiffe Expert"
That might be terrifying.

[vocal rivet]

You could do the same. It would be just as meaningful.

[regal spoke]

Can't interact with Yggdrasil so the answers no

[vocal rivet]

They're asking hypothetically if it was possible to reach it and interact with it.

[vale holly]

Lmao ppl.stilk asking if you can interact with the tree LMAO LMAO

[regal spoke]

Oh well then by all means. World tree is getting tapped like mana at an FNM

[celest acorn]

Fair

[azure yacht]

All the seeds have "all the stuff"

[vocal rivet]

Technically some might not have the Maypole.

[frosty cypress]

i found one thx . just had to scroll seed feed for a while

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion might know.

[frosty cypress]

k thx

[gritty seal]

Hi all

[mighty jasper]

hey guys is there any community server?

[merry pebble]

Look in #1024264966712340510 😄

[near furnace]

@alpine helm english only server

[elder glen]

is it bad that I skipped fishing

[near furnace]

nope

you can do whatever you like

[elder glen]

woo

[plush umbra]

Im about to enter the swamp for the first time, should i make a temporary base there since it seems dangerous & is fairly far away from my base?

[tacit crystal]

Either make a small outpost outside the swamp to neighboring biome or place it on top of a sunken crypt.

[plush umbra]

oh you cant build inside the swamp?

[mystic ravine]

you can

[sleek siren]

Is there a way to turn off stamina when building?

[plush umbra]

then why should i build outside of it?

[elder stone]

Probably for safety reasons

[mystic ravine]

this

if you are just getting into the swamp i wouldnt recommnded it

[heady parcel]

Yeah, nights in the swamp can be deadly when you've just entered the biome, and building is awkward due to the constant rain and darkness. However once you are confident inside the swamp, a nice little treehouse outpost is nice to have!

[plush umbra]

I havent went in yet 😭 we got caught up building a new house for storage & cooking with the cauldron

[azure yacht]

only for everything

[upbeat crypt]

Can you parry Fuling Berskerer * with a BM shield ?

without getting staggered that is

[gray sand]

Depends on your food.

[cobalt canyon]

And shield level. And block skill.

And armor maybe?

[gray sand]

Primarily depends on your food.
No it does not factor your armor.

[azure yacht]

If the shield it's crafted at the same tier you find the enemy at you can assume yes

[upbeat crypt]

so must use 3x red food? because Stew + LMP + Bread I always got staggered myself

[gray sand]

Never use HHH.

What is "LMP"?

[upbeat crypt]

lox meat pi

[gray sand]

Plains-tier HHS is Lox Pie, Fish Wrap, and Blood Pudding.
Puts you at 195 Max HP and you need only 177 for the parry with zero skill.

Any skill above that just reduces the Max HP needed (down to 118 at 100 skill)

[upbeat crypt]

I'm at 200 hp

[cobalt canyon]

π

[upbeat crypt]

and I get staggered on parry with 37 block skill

[cobalt canyon]

Combat settings modified at all?

[gray sand]

Numbers are in #valheim-help

[upbeat crypt]

no modded ocombat

[gray sand]

Probably a timing thing then. Because 200 HP is more than enough to parry a 1 star.

[upbeat crypt]

I didnt take damage so I say my timing was good

because when my timing was off, it was a somewhat noticable 100 dmg

[gray sand]

No, lol.

<Mad Max "That's Bait" gif here>

[azure yacht]

Wrong channel?

[merry pebble]

#general message

[heady parcel]

Which weapon would be best to bring for area of effect damage in the Queen's lair? Not using magic, so my options are the Demolisher or the Himminafl. Will be bringing lots of bombs too.

[merry pebble]

All of those 😄

[heady parcel]

Gotcha!

[merry pebble]

Basically bombs + whichever weapon you are comfortable with

[heady parcel]

Well I prefer swords but Krom is sadly not that great vs crowds

[merry pebble]

Yeah, it has the multi target penalty

[heady parcel]

I'll bring them all and see what happens..

[merry pebble]

Slaughter 😄 one way or the other... xD

[ember panther]

I made krom n barely used it. Looks nice on display tho

[heady parcel]

Aw crap I forgot to make lingering stamina meads, attempt postponed for now. Gaah!

[merry pebble]

I never used those for her, but its better to be overprepared than underprepared 😄

[gleaming bridge]

uhh very random question but does stone work the same as a wood pole if wood is on top of the said stone

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I need everything I can get. I'm a very mediocre fighter and I will not watch any videos before having tried at least once first.

[gleaming bridge]

i meant to ask does it offer balance as the wood pole does

[pliant hatch]

If you mean the structural integrity..... Yes it does.
Stone can support more than wood, so using stone as a foundation or the walls of the ground floor, then wood above that for a second floor works well.
For larger buildings it's advised to use some stone pillars with log poles on top of them to support your roof.

Once you get into the swamp you get a new kind of pole which is strong enough to support stone; making even higher buildings possible.

[gleaming bridge]

thank you very much for this

and yeah i know the iron poles are very good but i just cannot be fucked rn for the swamp again :( my time so limited to play already

but i just tried it out and u are right, the integrity is now blue (the wood abvoe the stone) instead of previous green held by the wooden poles

[pliant hatch]

Well, the good new is that base building can be done slowly. As well as this game in total.
So no worries about that.

Also, later you will get Black Marble which has other benefits. And in the last (for now anyway) biome we get Grausten which opens up other posibilities again.

[gleaming bridge]

oh awesome i didnt know about that

the last time i played, plains as the final biome. so i hav e so much more to explore. i think ill be done with the game by the end of the year LOL (accounting path of exile new launch wehre i need to go crazy)

i absolutely love games like this where you are rewarded for time investement

[heady parcel]

Oh, can I damage myself with bombs by the way? Since I'll be rocking both the root harnesk and the feather cape I'd need some barley wine in that case..

[merry pebble]

Nope

[heady parcel]

Sweet!

[slow leaf]

Having the black forge require cores to build is frustrating when trying to build multiple bases. Seems like a bit of a design flaw/overlook.

[merry pebble]

You are not really supposed to have that many bases that it should be a problem i feel xD

[gray sand]

Seems like a bit of a design flaw/overlook.

How so?

[light moat]

I see where you’re coming from- I don’t think it’s a flaw or anything- but yeah they’re pretty costly work stations

[heady parcel]

Luxury costs, having more than one black forge is not necessary - and thus, it is a luxury. So it costs! 😄

[exotic cradle]

Just...teleport the cores bois

[slow leaf]

Because cores are reasonably hard to come by. Not hard to get to but just in terms of rarity/scarcity. And if they're going to make the black forge the 'new forge' for crafting and repairing (and building) you're going to need a fair amount of them

[gray sand]

So like.. 10?

[merry pebble]

You really only need one... any more is a luxury as Derleth said

[slow leaf]

10 black forges? Sure, that's 50 cores already.

[heady parcel]

(That said, I've got two sets of all the Mistlands work stations, in my old main base and in my Wizard's Tower, just because I want to, not because I need to..)

[gray sand]

No, like 10 cores total.

[slow leaf]

Is enough for... 2 black forges...?

[merry pebble]

Again, you only need one...

[slow leaf]

Not if you want to build with black forge pieces...

[exotic cradle]

Move it around ^^

[merry pebble]

Yes, you only need one even if you want to do that

[gray sand]

Ok so 15 cores total? 1 extra forge to move around.

[slow leaf]

Well I currently have at least 8 black forges, so... no

[merry pebble]

That is 7 more than necessary 🙂

[gray sand]

Genuine curiosity: Why?

[light moat]

Likely for building/repairs 🤔

[slow leaf]

There's one at multiple bases for repairing, a couple buried inside my main base for building with

[exotic cradle]

I never have this problem even with normal workbenches

[light moat]

Really all you need for any mistalnds+ gear is a grand total of 5 black cores 🤓

[heady parcel]

Still perfectly viable to move the forge around, hell I do that with the regular forge for iron stuff, cba having forges standing around everywhere

[slow leaf]

You can say the black forge is a 'luxury'... except it's not, you need it to repair and craft. It's no different than the normal forge once you get it.

[exotic cradle]

But...move it D:

[gray sand]

So... just need 2? If it is no different.

[heady parcel]

But still...you only need one. The rest is just for convenience

[gray sand]

I get that you like having multiple bases and such, but in terms of you calling it a "design flaw" -> Our character is just passing through, we are not meant to nor interesting in staying in Valheim. The point is get in, killed the Forsaken, get out as we get promoted to Valhalla.

[slow leaf]

...The game itself literally encourages you to build multiple bases.

[gray sand]

When?

[slow leaf]

The entire game.

[pliant hatch]

I've never felt it to be like that.
But I guess each to their own.

[gray sand]

Been playing for years, have never been encouraged by the game do to this.

And I have read everything all lore stones and both birds have said.
Never been encouraged by the game to do this.

[light moat]

I see where you’re coming from Altephor, I just don’t agree that it’s a design flaw/oversight 🤔

[heady parcel]

Considering the resource cost of building and upgrading a base, I'd say the opposite - the way things work kind of nudges us towards having one main base and perhaps minor outposts for travel and transports. Building more than one fully decked out base is not what your average player does.

[gray sand]

This is me. I get the urge to make bases and make them pretty. I agree with it.
My issue is with calling it a design flaw.

[light moat]

But I mean, I feel the game kinda encourages having multiple bases, right? That’s why crops grow in different biomes? 🤔 sure, you can call them mini bases or outposts, but they’re still bases right?

[violet pecan]

is it someone that has a dedicated server for people to join?🇸🇪

[gray sand]

You can teleport all of those things.
So it's more "outpost" meaning it does not need any advanced construction.

[light moat]

Well put! Like this version 😁

[slow leaf]

Except a black forge is not 'advanced construction' when you need it for basic repairs of your armor and weapons/tools

[light moat]

Just depends on the players definition of ‘advanced’ I suppose 🤔
For some stone is advanced I imagine. For others, it may be pretty basic.

[heady parcel]

In a no-portals setup I would agree with that, when you need to sail across half the world to get back to main base, setting up repair stations in outposts makes a whole lot more sense. In the regular game, most players simply do that in their main base. Strictly no need to have multiple repair bases.

[pliant hatch]

But that's something one or two portals can solve.

One is a pocket portal to either your base or a portal hub. The other is from the portal hub to your base.

Drop the workbench, drop the portal, enter the base, repair, return to your last spot, demolish the portal and continue exploring or mining or whatever you were doing.

[gray sand]

Why are you repairing things at an outpost where the entire purpose is portal in, harvest, portal back out?

[marsh barn]

between the ||frost and fire staff|| which is more useful against the queen? i know she's neutral to both damage types but does one have an advantage over the other?

[unreal bear]

||ember|| has good aoe for groups. ||frost|| is good for slowing things down a little. I'll sometimes take both with me

[slow leaf]

And yet probably thousands of players do

[marsh barn]

makes sense. im playing with a few friends so we can take different ones. possibly dumb follow up question, does one's effect cancel out the other?

[unreal bear]

no

[marsh barn]

good, thanks

[gray sand]

Take both. Use fire vs. adds and frost vs. her.

Big ball of AoE good vs. multiple.
Rapid-fire pew-pew good vs. her.

[gleaming bridge]

do smelters emit smoke like campfires do

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[shy marlin]

Imagine if berserker mead worked with eitr reduction 💀

[slow leaf]

Yes they need room for ventilation or they'll go out

[gray sand]

Nah, just new mead that is Berserkir for mages.

[shy marlin]

lets not 😭

[gray sand]

Lets. More meads = better.

[shy marlin]

more balanced meads = better

[gray sand]

Ok but

[shy marlin]

😏

[gray sand]

We don't have a Major Stamina, Medium Eitr, or Major Eitr mead.
So we are missing balance in that regard 😦

[shy marlin]

eh nah mage already op enough

[gray sand]

OR, instead of Mage verson of Berserkir, just give the Mage version of Tasty.

[slow leaf]

Haven't needed any of the meads other than standard healing and stam

Wish they would make a big stamina mead like the big health one

[gray sand]

You mean Tasty?

[slow leaf]

No, I mean the stam and healing meads

[shy marlin]

yea that's called tasty and berserker mead

[gray sand]

So you mean Tasty.

[slow leaf]

Nope, definitely don't but you can repeat it all you like

[gray sand]

Tasty is so ridiculously powerful in terms of stamina regen that the HP version of it is forced to have a 2 minute cooldown -- aka Major Healing.

Because if you took the regen of tasty and the fact it has no cooldown, then put that into HP (which Major Healing does) and did not restrict it, you would never die.

Wish they would make a big stamina mead like the big health one

So yes, you mean Tasty. Because that is exactly what Tasty is 😄

[slow leaf]

Cool, if you want to do absolutely nothing while your stam regens I guess

[gray sand]

Scale issue 🤷‍♂️

[slow leaf]

But I'd rather have a major stamina mead

[shy marlin]

It takes like 2 seconds

Tasty and lingering stam gives you like 100 stam in 2 seconds idk

[gray sand]

If you would rather have the worse stamina mean, go for it.
It's a game, play how you want.

[slow leaf]

Oh sorry I thought I can't play how I want, I'm supposed to only play it your way

[gray sand]

No one has ever said or even implied that 😄

Also that makes no sense because I don't even have one way that I play 😂

[shy marlin]

😔 i only play one way nowadays

[gray sand]

Naked and hungry?

[shy marlin]

have to do obscure valheim challenges to break it up

[gray sand]

Use different weapons. Try old weapons you hated.

I was an axe man for the longest but recently fell in love with spears.

Bonemass resistance be damned I killed him with 3 ancient bark spears.

[shy marlin]

I've used (and mastered) everything but knives and i absolutely despise them with all my being

[gray sand]

(And gained 26 skill in 1 fight 😂)

[gray sand]

Fair. They are the one weapon I won't touch either.

[shy marlin]

i did a OF (only fists) run when frost caves came out that was fun

[gray sand]

I hope DN gives us the final version of the wolverine claws.

[shy marlin]

Eh hope it's more than just deep north

I think bronze, mountains, plains, ashlands deepnorth fists would be nice

[gray sand]

That would be game balance 😏

[shy marlin]

oh yea we don't do that here

[gray sand]

I think you could have something in bronze but skip it in Swamp tbh.

Do it like every other biome.
Bronze knuckles. Claw things in Mountain, then Seeker claw things.

[shy marlin]

which is what i suggested 🙂

[gray sand]

No, you said Plains and Ash.
I said Mistlands.

[shy marlin]

Most weapons follow having 2 gaps so far

That's just true

[gray sand]

Fair. Tbh the sole balance weapon thing I am tracking for 1.0 is the sword MTP bullshit.

[shy marlin]

🙂 Watch them not do it

[gray sand]

I will genuinely rage.

[shy marlin]

I will call the authorities.

[nocturne wolf]

If deep north fists do 80 more damage than flesh rippers (most weapon types scale with 20 more damage for each biome), at level 4 they would be able to deal up to 5,472 stagger on a backstab secondary against something neutral to their damage types.

[shy marlin]

Sounds like a balancing problem to fix 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

How

[shy marlin]

fix the multipliers lol

[nocturne wolf]

It’s only for a backstab anyway, so after that first hit it stops being op

[grave brook]

hey new here seeing if anyone was interested in joining me and my friend on our on didicated server, chill, 18+, must have a mic dm me lmk

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[gleaming bridge]

so for me to utilize stone as roof i must craft he iron beams right?

[gray sand]

For the most part, yes.

[mighty pond]

@iron estuary what's the friend request for? Are you real or a bot lol

[tepid prawn]

No, if some of the wall is grounded and especially for smallish cellars with a stone roof you can get away without iron wood, like 3 or 4 stone blocks wide roof I've done before, if medium to big and less ground support you will need lots of iron wood yes

[elder stone]

My roof is almost too big... iron beams are starting to fail

[tepid prawn]

Biome 7 beams are a little bit stronger but not much afaik

[elder stone]

36x36 stone base, and the roof covers the entire thing starting around the perimeter at 16 meters high.

[gray sand]

I believe they are just equal, but they are lava-proof.

[nimble moss]

Logout/ login and you reset the backstab bonus; so you can chain it and kill things quicker if you want

[hard sluice]

Hi. I'm new here. I bought Valheim in march, and already played 383 hours...
I thought i'd join the community.

I got to the mistland, getting close to the Queen, but i wanted to make the fun last longer so i started again on hard mode.
It's been chalenging..! but very fun

[gray sand]

Fun do be the goal of gaming.

[wooden tapir]

there is a certain someone here that does a lot of self imposed challenge runs. if you ever get bored you could consult with them @shy marlin

[hard sluice]

I'm almost hoping to get bored at this point, i play way too much xD

[wooden tapir]

you could also take on the challenge of the builders, lots of crazy builds in #building-screenshots

my mind gets blown every day with what you can do with the building in this game

[gray sand]

Imagine getting bored in a nearly perfect game...

[cobalt canyon]

just because Sev is here

decent mod community around here, ye might take a look at that

[gray sand]

🤮

[hard sluice]

I'm still very happy with the vanilla version, just trying to move forward.

[wooden tapir]

yea i dont get bored often, always mental plans getting made while doing the normal stuff

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[wooden tapir]

one of my self imposed challenges is catching every fish at every tier (1-5) and making every weapon and set of armor all max upgraded

the fishing one gonna be a pain

also, i want to do a full run of the game deathless, but i am not quite skilled enough for that

[gray sand]

Armory Room is a must.

[hard sluice]

I started fishing today for the 1st time, actually. I'm only in the plain biome on hard mode, so the fish wraps are very useful

[wooden tapir]

i usually have some unfortunate deaths due to impatience or forgetting attack patterns

[hard sluice]

I maxed all the armor sets so far, except bronze..

[gray sand]

Deaths? #ScaleIssue 😏

[wooden tapir]

like i recently died to a wolf, having forgot the timing on their attacks

even though i have probably killed a few thousand wolfs

[gray sand]

Years later and my #1 cause of death is still "killed by tree" 😭😭

[wooden tapir]

most of the time when i die its due to impatience

and overestimating my abilities

[hard sluice]

I died today farming in the plain biome, i didnt notice my food buff ran out and a deathsquito surprised me :_(

[scenic rover]

Does anyone have a spare iron set of armor I died and my game bugged it out of existence

[wooden tapir]

this current world im making is a forever world that ill always be able to come back to, and then ill start on my deathless run

[gray sand]

Just spawn it yourself at that point.

[scenic rover]

On Xbox?

[wooden tapir]

yea you can still use devcommands on xbox im pretty sure

not sure how to get there tho

[scenic rover]

Do you know how to spawn an item ?

I found the command to access it but don’t know the commands

[hard sluice]

(I had my corpse/grave disapear once after i raged alt+f4 at death.) i found out about backups that day

[wooden tapir]

pretty sure its like " spawn armorchest_iron"

can look it up online

[cobalt canyon]

"spawn ItemID quantity quality"

ItemID is....sometimes sensible, the name of the thing

[hard sluice]

ArmorIronChest
ArmorIronLegs
HelmetIron
(i just looked it up)

[shy marlin]

REMINDER: Food is for chumps. That is all.

[cobalt canyon]

and sensible people

[cobalt canyon]

Wonder how close trees and fall damage are

in terms of player deaths

[hard sluice]

i never died from falling trees.. yet
I fell some trees irl, and i learned to get far away from them when they fall. i think it carried on in-game for me

[wooden tapir]

most of the time its from a tree thats suspended in the sky from another tree

[livid zenith]

Ambush tree

[woven nebula]

does upgrading equip matter?

[wooden tapir]

it doesnt "matter" per se, but you do get stuff for upgrading like durability and dmg

or armor

[quasi latch]

If you want your equipment to be better, by all means do it. Just keep in mind that every upgrade means more time spent mining and stuff if that's a concern.

[woven nebula]

👍

[quasi latch]

Most upgrades will increase durability and attack damage.

[robust token]

Upgrade on most parts increases durability, and certain item increases their stats.
Armor > Increases armor
Shield > Block Force
Weapons > Damage

[tepid prawn]

the first upgrade from 1 to 2 is usually dirt cheap, the next one is not too bad, max level for armours is a tad more expensive (armour at max level is usually very similar to the new armour at base level, so if you upgrade a heavy armour to 3, and then make the new heavy armour at level 1 the new one will have more armour value, if it was 4 and 1 it would be the same)

shields only go to 3, usually worth it if you are using shields

[lyric olive]

3 years later still be waiting for the deep north update.

[restive kraken]

Hej wiadomo coś czy valhelmi wyjdzie na ps5 ?

[gray sand]

English server.

[merry pebble]

No we dont know if it ever comes to ps5 also yeah english only 🙂

[gray sand]

Well, one would assume Sony would have to make them a good offer.

[tacit crystal]

Still worth the wait.

[lyric olive]

I hope so. Ashlands was quite good, just a little overturned on enemy spawns.

[gray sand]

You mean perfect and then overnerfed to shit because people didn't understand what a war biome was meant to be?

[tacit crystal]

The spawns have been tweaked few times. I think it's good now.

[safe flower]

I’m hoping deep north for the end of year

[unreal bloom]

got destroyed around 5 times now by a 2star elite draug 😦 why are there so many running around in my first swamp biome xD

[tepid prawn]

draugr elite 2 star, thats unlucky they are tough, its okay to drop corpses and abuse "corpse run" buff for those hahaha

[gray sand]

Draugr Elite 2 Star?
That's lucky af because highest chance to drop the trophy you need for Sledge!

[tepid prawn]

Dis is true

[harsh furnace]

What yall think of the new sneak peek video about deep north?

[azure yacht]

But DN entered development just a few months ago

[nimble moss]

no - star'd mobs have no extra chance to drop trophies. Its something that has been suggested a few times - but at the moment its static

[heady parcel]

Umm, three years ago Mistlands was more than six months away...

[light palm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smiling-cat-grey-cat-cute-cat-gif-2949633679466643461

epic embed fail

[merry pebble]

All variants have the same chance tho, bu that also means each one has the "highest" chance so technically correct 😄

[lyric olive]

Yeah it's not as extreme now.

[lyric olive]

That's very optimistic

[balmy willow]

i'm so hyped for more of deep north

[plush umbra]

Is there no content in the deep north?

[unreal bloom]

can i like just dress naked and kite him with fire arrows or will is still get caught and run out of stamina like with my bronze armor? i just can parry him once, the second time he will just stagger me and do dmg tru parry? leaving me with mod stamina to counter attack and at that point i can also no rly run away anymore without the use of elk blessing or stamina potions.

[flat lily]

Deep north isn't out yet.

[tepid prawn]

Yeah you can kite him for sure

[plush umbra]

Oh 😭 me and my friend has been going northward this entire time when exploring

[tepid prawn]

Or jump on somewhere where he csnt get up

[unreal bloom]

well well going to try it then now, just hope i don’t get disturbed by draug archers on top of it xD because they will surely 1 hit me now xD

[flat lily]

Lol yeah, sadly not out yet.

[unreal bloom]

ah yes silly me i completely forgot that…

[plush umbra]

Should I head downwards instead then?

[tepid prawn]

Yes or directly West or east

[flat lily]

Well going too far south leads to the Ashlands. And unless you've progressed through every other biome you probably don't want to go al the way south. Plus you need to kill the Mistlands boss first before you can really get there.

[tepid prawn]

If you’re too far south you will get visual and audible warning haha

[flat lily]

I've died more in the ashlands than most of the rest of the game.😆

[flat lily]

Oh yeah. Or you can be like me the first time and ignore that warning and die.😂

[tepid prawn]

Haha the boat croaking noise is unnerving though

[flat lily]

Yeah, but my brain went, "It can't be doing too much damage right?" I was mistaken.

[plush umbra]

We've only done 2 bosses so far 😭 we were gonna do swamp last night too but my friend and I got caught up building

[tepid prawn]

Just find a nice swamp and build a treehouse on the indestructible trees

[flat lily]

I feel that, I spent like 3 days just building a base one time.

[plush umbra]

We're gonna do that, the house we're making right now is for cooking with the cauldron, storage & farming right now. We wanted to get all that stuff set up before heading off that way when we got back all the crops have grown

[flat lily]

Just so you know once you get to the plains each biome from there on has crops you can only grow in that biome.

[tepid prawn]

this is wrong info mate, 7th biome crops grow in lots of other biomes

[flat lily]

Oh the ashlands stuff does?

[tepid prawn]

the only one that doesnt grow in plains are the 2 mist crops

[tepid prawn]

yes

[flat lily]

Ah, good to know.

[tepid prawn]

in grows in meadows too etc 🙂

4 crops don't grow in meadows, all others do, and 2 don't grow in plains, all others do

[plush umbra]

Oh, yeah. Do you ever get access to building stuff with stone? We wanna make a castle later on but it's kind of hard using wood 😭

[tepid prawn]

you killed 2nd boss, you can build with stone now

[flat lily]

Yeah you do.

[plush umbra]

Oh, fr?

[tepid prawn]

have to find a swamp dungeon and open it

[flat lily]

Just need to make a stone cutter.

[plush umbra]

Using the swamp key I guess?

[tepid prawn]

yep

[plush umbra]

Do you only really need 1 swamp key or do you need a lot of them?

[flat lily]

Just one

[plush umbra]

The elder was not a fun fight imo was just boring

[tepid prawn]

just one it does not get consumed

[pliant hatch]

It's a master key, so just one

[tepid prawn]

I call him tutorial boss #2

Swamp boss is a real one

[flat lily]

Every boss after the elder is pretty good imo.

[plush umbra]

I'm excited for the swamp, it looked pretty dangerous compared to the biomes we've been in

[tepid prawn]

big step up from forest and meadows

Swamp is one of my current most favourite 2 biomes

[flat lily]

Yeah, swamp hurts but makes things a lot more interesting.

[plush umbra]

The only thing that's really been killing us is that there was a snow biome in the middle of our black forest that kept having trolls come down

[tepid prawn]

Mountain is 4th biome, the one after the swamp, trolls live in the forest though

[flat lily]

Trolls are from the black forest.

[plush umbra]

They are? They kept coming from where the snow was

[tepid prawn]

must be from a biome border

trolls are much easier than things in the swamp

[flat lily]

After you get gear from the swamp trolls are pretty easy.

[tepid prawn]

Swamp is hella fun and challenging

[plush umbra]

You get access to iron, right?

[tepid prawn]

yes

[flat lily]

Yep, you get it in the crypt dungeons.

[plush umbra]

Is it transportable by portals

[flat lily]

Depends on your world settings.

[plush umbra]

I have them on default

[flat lily]

Then no.

[plush umbra]

Ok yeah I'm definitely setting up a small base in the swamp then 😭 I'm not going all that way back with a tiny bit of iron

[tepid prawn]

there is a few things including metal that cannot be teleported in early game until much much later in the game

[flat lily]

If you set a portal by the dungeon you're at and use a cart to take iron to a boat it's not too bad.

[tepid prawn]

||its unlocked in 7th biome to transport those||

[plush umbra]

I hope there's something of danger in the ocean, because so far I haven't encountered anything 😭 it makes the sailing so boring not really being in any danger

[plush umbra]

Will do this, ty

[tepid prawn]

bit spoilery if we tell you, but there is some things in there, one not dangerous and the other can be a danger

[wary bane]

sail at night or during storms.

[plush umbra]

That's what we've been doing 😭 we somehow managed to get out in the ocean during night every time

[tepid prawn]

also sailing is quite relaxing (when you're not in danger) I find

[flat lily]

A little later in the game you get something that make sailing go a bit faster which is nice.

[wary bane]

not when you have a hold full of iron being transported back to base and it is dark, stormy and you hear a noise it isn't

[plush umbra]

It's nice, it's just really slow for now even when the wind is in the perfect position. I don't mind it, it just becomes like a 10 minute period of doing nothing. I don't love it or hate it

[tepid prawn]

I m not scared of those...

[flat lily]

The next ship you can make after the Karve is a nice upgrade too. Just need to get some iron first.

[tepid prawn]

its also a good and fast way to transport a lot of non teleportable stuff

I always build on the coast or close to it

[flat lily]

Same

[late stratus]

Can I use the download and pase in build mods from https://www.valheimians.com/ on pc then my xbox friend join the server with the build in it? or do they also need client side mods which don't allow it to run on xbox,or are they all server side and it will work ok?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[flat lily]

Yeah I'd ask there. I need a PC better than my laptop to be able to mess around with mods for Valheim.😆

[wary bane]

AFAIK as long as the modded builds are using in-game assets you can activate the mod, do whatever you wanna do, deactivate the mod and the builds will stay where you put them. Your xbox friends should be able to join and view/use/deconstruct etc no issues.

[brave cairn]

Glad to be back in the V Heim community! Skald! Time to live and breathe as a norse men!

[wheat hazel]

i just thought of something.. is it possible to rebuild Skyrim in Valheim

[vocal rivet]

What, the entire game? Seems unlikely.

[pliant hatch]

The world or the buildings you get in that game?

Because I think the biggest problem will be dealing with the waterlevels in the world and the fact that round towers are pretty hard to do when you want the Skyrim player houses. Also, the layout between the log poles in Skyrim and in Valheim might be off

[wheat hazel]

I think someone actually made a Tamriel seed using some mod, like I see it on Reddit

[regal spoke]

Need 60° roof tiles to pull off more gothic vibes like whiterun

[pliant hatch]

Does anyone else have the feeling that the wind drift of boats is in the opposite direction of what it should be?

Like when the wind comes from the left side, the boat moves to the left and thus towards the wind instead of away from it as it should, since the wind will push the boat to a side if the wind is from the other side.

[earnest pivot]

I hadn't ever seen the last boss until today's blogpost. A bit sad now I've been holding off on activating that fight until the rest of the friendgroup caught up.
I shouldn't have read it.

[flat lily]

Final boss isn't in today's blog post.

[shy marlin]

That's the mini boss you haven't been spoiled by the true boss 🙂

[azure yacht]

what?

[pliant hatch]

Check what Scales said.

[azure yacht]

So reto? Saying "the last boss" made it seem as if it was about DN's boss

[flat lily]

Current final boss is technically correct, but until deep north the final boss at the moment is in the ashlands. But yeah Reto is a mini boss, not the main boss for the ashlands.

[sand finch]

thinking of building on an island for my new world. To anyone who has done it before, will i have any regrets/reasons not to. Is island life alot more tedious than i think its going to be

[pliant hatch]

Just getting the wrong interpretation about the image in that video. Because it does show as being in Ashlands and it does show as a boss fight.
That's all.

[pliant hatch]

Island bases have their pros and cons.
I like using them at all times, so my opinion may be a bit biased.

Pros:

• Easy to spawn proof;
• No moat needed
• Easy to defend when a raid comes (up to the point where they don't even reach you, unless it's an airborne raid)
• Gives great opportunities to build docks, bridges and the like.

Cons:

• Always need to sail / portal to enter / leave,
• Due to the above, bringing some resources will be a bit more tedious. Think about all non-portable items;
• You will most likely have to raise a lot of land to get the right building height
• You still may want to have some walls around your outer perimeter

[unreal bloom]

already trying to make my heart fire chimney for 1 hour xD

[sand finch]

Ty, will have to sail with metal anyways and likely modor eggs too, so shouldnt be an issue. And will have portals for each biome or point of interest.

Also will add a pro with extrmely low instance count for big builds

Extra question for you: do you find yourself visiting the other biomes in your downtime less because of having to portal or do you explore around the same amount?

[pliant hatch]

Oh I still explore.
Need to find the spots for Hildir's Quest after all.
Not to mention the items needed to summon bosses, new swamps once my iron runs out and so on.

For me portals are only set for locations I need to visit often. Like the three traders, my farm in the plains and mistlands, my coal farm and the spawn point.

For all the other places I usually use a temporary (unnamed) portal.

[earnest pivot]

Woohoo! Thats great news

[earnest pivot]

Thanks for the reassurance. It was just a big dude I aint seent yet

[pliant hatch]

Doing Brenna's (Smoldering) tomb in Fenris Armor with Silver shield and Frostner.

Feels like it has "Easy" written in a 36 point headliner all over it. 😄

And that's on "Hard" difficulty.

[urban ivy]

I just saw that rock plushie - i love himb

[iron onyx]

I hope the devs ignore the steam discussions because people there are insuferable at evry blogpost the devs post

[pliant hatch]

Oh, we got drama over there?

Means I need to buy popcorn when going for groceries so I can enjoy it. 😄

[azure yacht]

If you go there with the expectations of having a good laugh at the kind of shit people say then you will be entertained.

If you go with the perspective of thinking you might get anything fruitful then that's when you will certainly feel annoyed, frustrated, and lose hope on humanity

You also need to be careful, they are "the vast majority of the player base" after all

||>total number of comments: less than 300

wheeze||

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually reading the first 10-15 posts, then back out because it's just repeating the same things over and over again.
But it keeps me entertained for sure.

Wha......

I just saw a Lox hit a Greyling and that thing flew at least 25 meters away.

I'm never going to break the "how far can you let a Greyling fly" record when using a mace, if a Lox does it that easily.

😢

[stone mesa]

yo @irongate CEO you should hire more game developers

[pliant hatch]

<-- Resets the "You made millions, you should hire more developers" timer.

And it was such a peaceful 8 days since I saw that message for the last time.
Oh well, one can always hope that the 9 day record will be broken one day.

[stone mesa]

i personally hope their company dissolutes and instead of adding dreams maybe they should fix gameplay issues and steam cloud across devices

[near furnace]

?

let us buy steam so we can "fix" their cloud issues

[pliant hatch]

You mean they should hire 30 more devs, release the game within 2 months and spend the rest of 2025 ànd 2026 dealing with all the bugs that fast release and different views has caused?
While also dealing with the amount of manure that's thrown at them for releasing "a buggy and unfinished game"?

[stone mesa]

ah well if steam is unresponsive to developers and overall a bad business partner when it comes to servers maybe have a talk with your team and see if you cant maybe develop your own launcher and server host

i don't mean to offend, i'm simply just a random player of this game

[near furnace]

some people will never understand the math behind "more employees, more meetings"

[stone mesa]

i'd love to solve the playerbase's problem for us

[rigid copper]

The more people the more pointless meetings

[stone mesa]

i'd gladly join your team and set up a server on your little loftroom

[near furnace]

exactly. so less get's done

[stone mesa]

why do you need more meetings just have administration

[near furnace]

so we should just hire 20 administrators?

[shy marlin]

[near furnace]

how would that help?

🤔

[rigid copper]

Not to mention the more people the more channels that need to be passed between "departments"

[stone mesa]

teamwork between people and a collective goal shouldn't be this hard through a business model such as game development

[rigid copper]

Company wide game of telephone,

[near furnace]

so having 5 people between 1 programmer and 1 designer is good? 😄

[rigid copper]

Communication slows and bureaucracy slows down the process

[stone mesa]

what's preventing you from marketing a try and hire for 1 or 2 new developers

[near furnace]

no no. just hire 20 admins. will solve everything

[near furnace]

ok now I will stop being stupid

[rigid copper]

xD Smiffe

[stone mesa]

i'm genuinely curious is there not a single game dev out there enthusiastic about such a nice template?

[near furnace]

Valheim hire history

2018 = 1 dev
2019 = 3 devs
2020 = 5 devs
2021 = 7 devs
2022 = 11 devs
2023 = 12 devs
2024 = 13 devs
2025 = 16 developers

have the rate of development gone up?

[rigid copper]

There is a reason I will never be the head of a department Shutters at the thought of paperwork

Smiffe will there be more content after Far north, "small updates" or will the game be done after all the bug fixes

[stone mesa]

definetly seems like it 16 developers is a big team but how come every single thing is a withstanding issue

[rigid copper]

Genuinely curious

[stone mesa]

anything at all you name it about the game, completely random

[near furnace]

um. we shall see what we will do after 1.0
bugfixes and such of course

but not adding more biomes etc

[stone mesa]

and a developer will be hard npc coded to tell you it's not that shrimple

[near furnace]

the game will be start -> finish

[pliant hatch]

Anything?

OK, the game's back ground story.

What's wrong with that?

[rigid copper]

Will 1.0 be deep north release or will 1.0 be after bug fixes

[stone mesa]

so random, focus on making the crouched player hurtbox lower so physics are a thing in the game

[near furnace]

1.0 will be deep north

[stone mesa]

its like the storyline of how the game is being made is randomized and somebody just comes in and says hey add this randomoid function or thing it will be great and only takes like 3 minutes to code and implement

[nocturne wolf]

There are definitely more important things to do than making the player’s hitbox shorter, there are very few situations where that would even be noticeable

[stone mesa]

ceo says "wow that's great buddy get the team on that immediately"

[vocal rivet]

3 minutes. LMFAO. Not a clue, eh?

[ember panther]

Im surprised how often we are getting blog posts. LOVE IT

[wide hollow]

Some swedish guys here

[pliant hatch]

And that's exactly what happens when the team becomes even bigger.

[stone mesa]

i'm overexaggerating, for the sake of argument, attention and to show my frustration as calmly as possible

[shy marlin]

Dunno it’s been the standard for years now that it’s once a month (not hating on it tho I love it)

[vocal rivet]

You can't over-exaggerate...

[near furnace]

next on the list of accusations "asset flip" 🤔

[pliant hatch]

Or "pony". 😉

[near furnace]

could be pony 🤔

[near furnace]

what is there to be frustrated about?

[stone mesa]

i'm not sure sherlock

maybe you can do some deductions

[near furnace]

Early Access games takes time to develop?

[stone mesa]

a crouched hurtbox literally takes 3 minutes to implement

besides, the suggestions channel is for show in here

it's just randomized and useless, missing enthusiasm

[pliant hatch]

If you think so, go ahead and make a mod for it.
Release it as a QoL mod and everybody's happy.

[near furnace]

let me just redo every single enemy attack in the game so they can hit you while crouching

[stone mesa]

look at downvoted suggestions and search them up in r2modman, you'll find the randomized enthusiast-made things pretty popular

[near furnace]

or we will have the "crouching oddjob nintendo 64 issue"

[stone mesa]

who cares about enemy attack start out with object collision

don't start at the hardest part??

[near furnace]

sure. throw the entire games balance out

[stone mesa]

with what

[broken widget]

Is it confirmed that no new biomes will be added after 1.0?

[nocturne wolf]

In what situations would a lowered hitbox actually be useful? I've never felt like I need it.

[near furnace]

enemy can not hit you

[nocturne wolf]

We already have jumping for that

[tiny tiger]

It doesn’t need to be for enemies but there’s some spots we should be able to crouch under and can’t

[ember panther]

You shouldn't be getting hit while crouched anyway. You sneak. Like a snek

[stone mesa]

yo i'm gonna crease and turn into a 1x1millimeter piece of paper if you include enemies in the equation one more time

[shy marlin]

Yea 1.0 is the end of new content

[burnt glen]

All the biomes that are in the game is all there will be.

[broken widget]

Oh that’s a bit sad

[ember panther]

To get through tight spaces rolling sometimes works... or a pickaxe

[pliant hatch]

You mean like Golem.

Snek's don't sneak. They slither.

[shy marlin]

It’s bittersweet

I’m sure the modding community will continue on tho

[stone mesa]

this is an amazing display of idiocy im really amused but try not to look for the worst possible solutions and start thinking innovatively

[broken widget]

Any mod recommendations? We are just starting a fresh server. With some friends that are totally new to valheim but want to play it after the rs release

[shy marlin]

Take a gander at #mods-discussion . First play through should be entirely vanilla tho imo

[ember panther]

I like the no map mode with cartography table map mod

[stone mesa]

yea and rolling has iframes like it's dark souls, what balance is there meant to be? what's even the plan with anything in this game? are dreams a nice and great priority to randomly and randomizedly and whatever else your mind can conjure as synonym for you to understand how truly random and unenthusiastic it is

[broken widget]

I agree but epic loot is one that makes it so much more fun imo, I already added endurance so it’s a skill. And a mod that allows u to craft from chests

[broken widget]

The no map mod is a bit harder for the newer players I think

I want to keep it as vanilla as possible but I just love epic loot, it makes killing enemies more exciting

[pliant hatch]

If it's a first time playthrough, using no mods at all might be a better idea.

There are multiple mods out there that make the game too easy, thus giving the players a whole wrong impression about how the vanilla experience is.

[burnt glen]

This may be a weird question but is there a place where I can get world and character files for right after mistlands? I wanna do ashlands again but don't wanna start over.

[ember panther]

Maybe, but it's very immersive and it's exciting to "unlock" the map with cartography table. We really enjoyed it but like scales said, I think vanilla is best for first playthroughs. You can use the in-game modifiers to make it slightly less challenging with deaths. Wouldn't change much else

[broken widget]

I realise that, but I did a lot of runs before and idk if I can personally handle another vanilla

[ember panther]

Then it's up to you really, if your friends who are new to valheim should play the base game or install mods for their first playthrough

[pliant hatch]

That's why I used the word "might".

It means it is a suggestion, which means you can take it in consideration and do something with it. Or not, but the choice is eventually yours.

[broken widget]

Yes, thanks for that! I did my first runs without mods, just the last one was with some and it was more enjoyable for me. Especially if its qol mods

[tiny tiger]

Unless you retained a world and character save from pre Ashland’s I don’t believe you can

I imagine you’ve had quite a few saves since Ashland’s and your mistlands auto saves have been overwritten by now

[burnt glen]

Yeah

[stone mesa]

there's probably a mod for custom save data for characters and worlds simultaneously

[tiny tiger]

a solution character wise would be creating one and using commands to set skill levels and loot etc but for a world that’s been lived in up to mistlands that’s a whole other issue

[burnt glen]

Yeah exactly, I mean I could even just use my character as the skills are not that high.

[tiny tiger]

I feel like your best bet would be to wait for deep north ptb before starting a new character and world

And just keep playing on ur current until then

[pliant hatch]

It's very likely we don't get a Deep North PTB to avoid spoilers being posted all over the place.

[tiny tiger]

They could always the story and boss spoilers from ptb

[burnt glen]

I don't intend to start a new world even when DN drops, and I haven't played Valheim in a while, just wanted to do ashlands again is all.

[vocal rivet]

You're right, but not in the way you think.

[burnt glen]

Gonna check out some build worlds people have released and make it work.

[tiny tiger]

Good luck

[pliant hatch]

I may assume you have seen what happened when Mistlands and Ashlands released in PTB?

The very first spoiler videos and even live streams on You Tube hit within 5 minutes after the release.

Deep North is the 1.0 release, so doing a public test will spoil a lot for a lot of potential customers.

[stone mesa]

🤤

[vocal rivet]

Yep, kinda proves that one.

I imagine they won’t be doing major pushes commercially until full release and would argue a ptb to have more feedback and bugs reported would be worth the sacrifice of potential customers seeing an early access product

They decided to go with the early access model so why would they exclude full release beta from public beta build

[pliant hatch]

From what I understood, all testing is done internally.
With 16 devs that shouldn't be much of a problem.
But a PTB with hundreds and most likely thousands of players?
I doubt it, because things can't be controlled anymore.

The only solution to that would be to give a limited amount of members here access to a test and make them sign a NDA.

That way, when something is leaked the number of potential subjects is not that large; making it easier to find out who leaked.

[pliant hatch]

Because as I said earlier, they don't want to spoil it for potential buyers.
Of which they expect to be a lot more the moment the game releases in 1.0.

When a new biome releases, is it always recommended to start a new world? I haven't explored at all the northern 3rd of my map, and have lots of unexplored space elsewhere too. I'm wondering if I should be pretty set to stick with my current save when Deep North goes live and won't risk really missing out on anything...

[vocal rivet]

Not just potential suppliers the entire player base.

[merry pebble]

Not needed if you did not explore the areas affected by the update 🙂

[pliant hatch]

As long as you haven't explored the area the new biome is going to be in, your old worlds are good.
So no need to start over on a new one.

[elder stone]

Nice, yea I'm definitely not touching the upper areas of the world. And I won't explore much else of the rest of my map either just in case...

[pliant hatch]

Well, I was about to say "All biomes up to plains are safe for sure", but then I remembered the "Bog Witch" update.

So in a way you're right.

[merry pebble]

Yep it should not be much of a problem 🙂 tho for Deep North starting a new playthrough might be a good idea since it will most likely affect even earlier biomes

[elder stone]

Yep, we will just have to wait and see I guess

[rigid copper]

My world is 1 Month younger then when the game released on steam (No mistlands or hildir before then) I've had no problems except removed land and floating trees around the ashlands

[merry pebble]

When the game released on steam there also was no Hildir or mistlands 😄 (now i see you said younger, not older... my bad xD)

[elder stone]

Not bad!!

[rigid copper]

I was about to correct myself lmao,

I thought i mistyped xD

[merry pebble]

No you didnt misstype, i missread 😄

[jolly bison]

giving Valheim another try with my friend now that I got a 100% on grounded

[merry pebble]

Welcome back 😄

[rigid copper]

But in essence there is no need to restart the world, although you can recreate the same world with the updated terrain with the same seed

*** Your characters location is saved on the character file and tied to the seed, not the specific world***

Wherever you log out on the old world you will log in at the exact SAME location in the newly generated world

It baffled me when it happened

[vocal rivet]

Why would that not make sense?

[rigid copper]

I expected the log out location would be tied to the world not the character profile

[vocal rivet]

Oh, weird.

[rigid copper]

Instead it doesn't matter if its the old world or the new one you still spawn back in at the same location

Where you logged out in the old world

[vocal rivet]

All other character info is in the character file, why not coordinates too?

[merry pebble]

So if you make a new world with the same seed you will spawn at the location you logged off at in the old world?

[rigid copper]

Yep

[merry pebble]

That is interesting indeed, never encountered this since when i make a new wourld i also use a new seed

[rigid copper]

Try it out, the terrain slightly changes but idk if logging out on a hill might make you fall from the sky or get you stuck in a mountain

Idk if it changes your Y value but your cords are the same

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt think so, the game always slaps you to the ground height at the x/y coordinates you logged off

[rigid copper]

That's good at least

[burnt glen]

thanks for trying to help earlier btw, I appreciate it. I did find one that im playing in rn

[tiny tiger]

No problem, glad you found a solution

[royal seal]

is there some sort of online tool where I can input my seed and have it show me all the possible Haldor locations?

[merry pebble]

https://valheim-map.world/ 🙂

[royal seal]

ty. I'm sick of this bastard evading my every attempt.

[devout widget]

Mine was created 30 March 2021. Only world I've played. Also no real problems.

[void turtle]

Finally got full root armor

And the pathfinding on abominations is ridiculous

[merry pebble]

Frostner or black metal sword will do well 🙂

[kindred copper]

does anyone know of a good mod to control tamed creatures like boars? i hate when they escape and i have to capture them all again

i had one a while back. but im trying to make a new modpack before i get back into the game

[vocal rivet]

You want people's best suggestion? It's going to be that.

[merry pebble]

That is because it really is one of the best weapons for getting into mistlands 😅 if it doesent work well in your opinion then most, if not all, other stuff will not work well either

And just out of curiosity, what doesent work for you with frostner?

Then you are in for world of hurt until you get mistlands weapons i am afraid

[quasi latch]

What are you using it on?

[vocal rivet]

What did it fall off?

Oh no, it's gotten better as time has gone on.

Of course it does.

[quasi latch]

Is your club skill low?

[merry pebble]

For those frostner does more dmg than any plains weapon, and that is 75,5 dmg. Porcupine does 56,5 dmg, BM Atgeir 61,5 dmg, BM Knife 37 dmg, BM Sword 56,5 dmg and BM Axe 57,5 dmg

[pliant hatch]

You may find some info in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

Alternatively, you can use the round pole fences to guide the boars to where you want them to be.
You can do that by either using the Abysmal harpoon (and friendly fire on) and drag them, then when the stamina runs out, go back asap and build a fence behind them. Rinse and repeat to get them where you want them.
Or you can push them, and occasionally close the fence behind yourself to stop them from going away.

As for the running off; that happens when they're scared. So make sure they aren't startled by any camp fire and / or torch.

And finally, to prevent them from running off when they're tamed: wait until you got piglets of the same tier, then kill the parents.
The tamed ones will always attempt to run back to the spot they spawned. The piglets won't because they are already tame.
Makes keeping them in one place a lot easier.

[quasi latch]

Isn't frostner effectively 57.5 against seekers since they ||resist blunt and are immune to spirit||?

Or is that with skills taken into account or something?

[merry pebble]

Basic blunt and frost is 35 and 58 respectively, they resist blunt so half that is 17,5 and they take full frost, so 58, together 75,5 🙂

[regal spoke]

🗒️

[quasi latch]

Oh, so a lvl 4 frostner

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, you should have that by end of plains if you decide to use it 😄

Also all the other dmg is for lvl4 weapons

[rotund bay]

seekers are resistant to physical attacks, so frostner being part elemental is what gives it the edge against them, plus the frost effect lets you have leeway and survivability
so if your thinking its weak then most of the weapons other than frostner is worse against them until you get mistland tier gear

[merry pebble]

Did you raise the difficulty?

[livid zenith]

What’s your clubs skill?

[merry pebble]

The dmg i calculated is at skill lvl0

That is strange, even lvl1 frostner should not do dmg that low

[livid zenith]

Frostner deals 35 damage at lvl 80 and above

The orange number displayed on weapons is damage at skill level 100

Also I think with multiple damage types weapons the number displayed is only for one of the damage types but that I’m not sure about

[quasi latch]

Average damage per hit, according to the wiki, scales linearly from 40% of listed at lvl 0 to 85% of listed at lvl 75

So at club level 27, should be averaging 56.2% of listed

[merry pebble]

Ah true, but even at skill lvl0 and lvl1 frostner you can get between 19 and 41 dmg

[quasi latch]

Which would be 2 3-hit combos

[merry pebble]

at skill 27 and lvl4 it would be between 38 and 66

normal hits do anywhere from ~30 to ~50 dmg, i am just now testing it in game

If you get consistently around 30 or lower you have to be hitting something together with the seeker

[livid zenith]

That would happen if you hit multiple walls alongside the seeker

Lure the seeker to a more open spot

[quasi latch]

Or perhaps use an atgeir's poke attack if, for some reason, this isn't possible so that you don't hit walls

[merry pebble]

Or a sword, that doesent have multitarget penalty...

[quasi latch]

That being said, it is advised to not hit bad guys near trees and stuff so that one can use a frostner for optimal damage.

[plush umbra]

how many silvers veins usually spawn per biome?

suck young burnt aristocrats under?

[quasi latch]

The world generator attempts 50 times to find a suitable position for a single vein on every zone. The spawn position must have the following conditions:

Mountain biome
At least 120 meter altitude
Up to 30 degree terrain angle
10 random points within nine meters have up to a three-meter altitude difference
If successful, the vein is placed four meters under the ground.
Source: Valheim wiki, "Silver Vein"

This, of course varies from seed to seed. There is a world generation tool online that marks the locations of points of interest, including silver veins.

[plush umbra]

How do you find your world seed?

[regal spoke]

Printseeds in game. Or it should say next to world name before launch

[quasi latch]

You defeated bonemass already, right?

[pliant hatch]

It does show lots of resources, but silver veins aren't among them.

[quasi latch]

my bad, maybe I was thinking of iron (specifically crypts)

[plush umbra]

what about servers?

[regal spoke]

Printseeds

[plush umbra]

where is that

[regal spoke]

You bring up console and enter that command
