[void turtle]

Will it serve me well?

[heady parcel]

It is not an "I win" weapon by any means, but it has its strengths. It hits hard, has good stagger values, and spirit damage makes it strong even in Ashlands if I understand right

[leaden falcon]

I got a kid due next month and I want to introduce her to Valheim in 5 years.
I was thinking I wish there was a child avatar mod or something.

[heady parcel]

Boils down to your fighting style, more than anything. If you like to hit hard with a twohander and use movement, dodging and the odd parry to make up for not having a shield, then you'll probably like it.

Remember for some reason 2H weapons slow you down more than sword'n board (unless you go tower shield, nothing is slower than that..)

[void turtle]

I’ll have to learn to dodge

[gray sand]

What did you do for Eikthyr?

[void turtle]

The Joseph Joestar technique

[heady parcel]

So I'm gearing up for my first expedition to Ashlands, I'm planning to bring the demolisher, mistwalker & shield, and bow. If i understand right most mobs there are pierce resistant, so the Himminafl won't be of much use, no?

[chilly basalt]

HIII i am new in valheim and i need help but i spík spanish anyone speak spanish???

Many people. But if you're looking for a group, #1024264966712340510

Funny thing about that, me and my brother were nearing the Queen's lair in Mistlands - fairly long into the game - when we aggroed the guardians there which included a two-star seeker with a cohort of one-star buddies. And they homed in on my poor brother who sensibly popped Bonemass power right away, but as they started bullying him he quickly got in trouble and I yelled at him to "Dodge, goddammit dodge - don't just stand there and take it!" and then after he died he asked me "what do you mean dodge?!?"

He had made it to Mistlands without ever using dodge once. My brother, the master of I-block-with-my-face. Explains why all his skills were below 10 at that point, too..

[void turtle]

I’ve never used dodge because it always felt hard to use properly because of stamina

[heady parcel]

I use it mostly when I've aggroed more than I can handle at one time. Dodge away a couple of times and then run to create some distance and swap to a weapon better suited for multiple enemies.

I'm sure there are better strategies, I am a pretty mediocre fighter in this game

[pliant hatch]

I don't know where you are starting from, but pro tip:

Use the Karve or Longboat to sail as far down South as possible; then settle at a nearby island, get a portal there, go back to your base to get the crafting materials for the Drakar and build it there.
Saves you a very long and slow "ride" to the Ashlands.

[ornate matrix]

That's exactly what I did for my first time into the ashlands.

[heady parcel]

I did this yesterday. Started with the Drakkar but it being slower to manouver than a 300-meter oil tanker made me just beach it, break it down and go back home to get my karve instead. Sailed as far south as I could and found a nice Mistlands rock out in the Ocean where I built an FOB tower. Now I'm ready to set off again 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I didn't know rolling made me invincible until swamps

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping is better than rolling when possible, and it costs less stamina

[heady parcel]

That it had invincibility frames was something I learned on here, I just thought it was actual dodging - if you got out of the way of the enemy's attack, success, if not you got hit anyway. I had no idea it actually makes you invulnerable* for a couple of frames.

*) Invulnerable from regular attacks that is, AoE effects like Bonemass's vomit still applies, doesn't it?

[nocturne wolf]

Some attacks aren't dodgable but that doesn't include all aoes.

[heady parcel]

Ok. Makes sense that you can't "dodge" a poison cloud

[nocturne wolf]

But you can dodge Yagluth's AoE

The only melee attack that isn't dodgable is a Gjall's shake

[heady parcel]

That's like an actual death ray or missiles right? Makes sense too

I never got close enough to a gjall to know they had a melee attack

[nocturne wolf]

It's to stop you from standing on them, the knockback is very high (150)

[heady parcel]

Ah right, hop on top and nick away with a pickaxe while out of reach for its fireballs. Clever, I understand why that shake is there.

[gray cairn]

Why would you guys use the Karve instead of the longboat? I never got far enough to get the longboat, I was under the impression that it was a straight upgrade.

[heady parcel]

Anyway, is the Himminafle of any use in Ashlands, or should I just leave it home?

[heady parcel]

It is bigger and a little more awkward to steer, so I prefer the karve when exploring since it is much more agile.

When I need cargo space, I pick the longship, but otherwise it's the karve all the way.

[nocturne wolf]

I always use a longship when it's available

[void turtle]

Now that I’m out of the swamp, I might limit myself to only two handed weapons for the funsies

[heady parcel]

Also, losing a karve is not that big of a deal, while a longship requires ancient bark and iron nails

[void turtle]

I think if you’re solo, just Karve

[gray cairn]

Makes sense

I'm exited to get the longship, tho, it looks cool

[nocturne wolf]

The circle of fire that he leaves on the ground for a few seconds, very similar to bonemass' poison AoE, is dodgable.
If I had to guess, this one is dodgable because the separate AOE used for initial impact is also dodgable. So if it wasn't, you would still take some damage when dodging the initial AoE.

[heady parcel]

It is awesome, especially when sailing with a group of friends. I just wish we could fit shields along the sides

[pliant hatch]

Karve is a nice ship for exploration, a longship is a great ship for hauling larger amounts of goodies.
Drakar is a good ship to move animals.

[heady parcel]

Aright, enough procrastination - now it is time. Wish me luck! #screenshots message

[upbeat crypt]

are there any other quality 4 fish besides the perch?

[tacit crystal]

All fish have quality between 1-5. The most common is 1 and the rarest is 5.

The quality of them also increases their size.

[upbeat crypt]

I've never seen a 5 and I only have found a perch at 4. I do have 7 pikes at this point that are Q3, just unlucky I guess

nvm I also have a pike 4, thing would make ahab jelly

[heady parcel]

Gods below, forcing us to use the least agile ship in the game to navigate a rocky sea maze, I think Irongate hates us. It is epic a f, but gods I'm having to backpaddle a lot...

[light moat]

Oh really? My most recent Ashlands sailing experience was extremely easy- only had like a few pillars 😅
During the PTB, it was way rockier! But yeah, it’s an awesome experience though

[heady parcel]

Now I'm timed out on the screenshots channel, but I'd hesitate to say I have "a few" pillars 😂

[pliant hatch]

You don't have a fist full of pillars, but a few pillars more?

Clint would've been sooooo proud of you!

[vernal hinge]

What's your guy's favorite weapon type? I'm entering the Iron age and want to try something new. I used the Mace mainly up until now. Doesn't have to be the absolute best in the game but something that's at least pretty good

[upbeat crypt]

swooords, not words!

[heady parcel]

I'm a swords guy. Always going with swords unless the fight I'm up against forces me to something else

And there's not that many battles that can't be fought with a slightly unsuitable weapon, so...SWORDS!

[upbeat crypt]

no effect? I need a bigger sword

[heady parcel]

Dangit, now I am getting near the shore and night is falling. Suppose it is better to wait offshore until dawn?

[nocturne wolf]

Entering a new biome at night can't end well

[heady parcel]

Gonna do that anyway, don't want to be flattened by some two star monstrosity and be forced to do this gauntlet all over again..

[upbeat crypt]

pros of going in at night: it will be daytime for your corpse recovery

[heady parcel]

😂

[upbeat crypt]

can you catch a fish with raise ground

[heady parcel]

Is it too much to ask for boats to be material things for mob drops? Getting sad to see vulture pieces fall into the sea through the deck.

Spotted a spawner on the shore and could snipe it from where I'm floating, that felt good!

[gray cairn]

Good luck! 💪

[gray cairn]

I never fought bonemass and I'm doing an axe/atgeir playthrough.

Do I HAVE to use a mace against him or am I fine?

[tiny tiger]

It will take considerably longer

[livid zenith]

Axe deals half damage to him while mace deals 1.5x damage

[tiny tiger]

You may have to repair your weapon

However it’s a good opportunity to get a few weapon skill levels in

[gray cairn]

Mid-fight? Fuckin yikes.

[tiny tiger]

I usually fight moder with frostner even though it’s not optimal

[livid zenith]

You can place a portal on top of the skull and it will be safe from his attacks, will make mid fight repairing easier and faster

[gray cairn]

So you HAVE to use mace, or it's a nigh impossible fight? Even with a bow or smth? That's a bit of a shame, but it is what it is.

I don't use portals, I'd rather not have to repair mid-fight either, seems awkward and anti-climactic

[tiny tiger]

I’ve not done the exact calculations, I’ve fought him with a bow multiple times before to level up bow skill and I’m pretty sure i had to go repair the weapon but it’s been a good while

I recommend bringing a backup axe/atgeir

[gray cairn]

Sounds good. I'll look further into it when I'm ready to fight him, but I'm noting this down

Thanks for the help! 😁💪

[upbeat crypt]

oh my, I just found a land accessible fishing spot for giant herring.

[pliant hatch]

You don't have to use the mace, but if you don't fights with other weapons will last a lot longer.

So the choice is to use the mace or having to repair or swap weapons mid fight.

You can still abandon the mace after that fight, if you like.

[gray cairn]

"Have to"
I think what I was trying to ask is if wether the mace is the easy mode of the fight, or simply the only way to beat him for a casual player not trying to do any challenge run or wtv.

Idk if that makes sense?

Like ik it's his weakness, but I was wondering if it's reasonably doable with other weapons, that's all.

[heady parcel]

It is doable, you just need to put in more effort to stay alive while taking longer to kill him

[gray cairn]

Amazing, thank you! 🙂

[heady parcel]

Bonemass is spongy, but pretty straightforward. I have never failed so I might be biased due to overprepping and having it easier than most. However, he has two basic attacks one slow melee that can be blocked or dodged, and his poison puke that you can either endure (with poison resist meads and heals when health gets low anyway) or avoid by running away when he vomits. Then he spawns adds, but they are regular swamp mobs and you should easily do away with them.

Just don't start the fight when night is about to fall, or you'll have mobs coming in to join the fray from all around

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually cheesing the fight by standing on top of the skull or a nearby tomb and using the mace, sledge or Stagbreaker on him.

And it's one of those because I know he's weak to blunt, so those three will kill him the quickest.
I'm not in the mood to give myself all kind of rules to make a fight harder. I want that boss down, I want him down fast and I want him down without being killed by him or his adds myself.

[gray cairn]

I prep a lot as well, and I upgrade gear as much as possible, even though it's not necessary, I like to take my time.

Ik about nightfall and I had assumed he would have a poison attack, good to know!

Thanks again for the tips.

[heady parcel]

I have never tried fighting him with a bow, he resists piercing so it would probably take forever.

[gray cairn]

I enjoy the challenge of a boss, not an extreme challenge, either, but a reasonable one, and I dislike cheesing. Just my own playstyle, yours is perfectly cool, too! 🙂

[gray cairn]

No Atgeirs then. Or I'll save it for the adds

Gona AXE bonemass a question

[heady parcel]

Yay, got a bridgehead established in Ashlands - ||shield generator and portal up, now I just need to get some materials in to fortify it! Welcome committée wasn't too bothersome, found three spawning pillars I managed to take out from a distance. Since then only a few mobs at a time have come at me.||

Spoilerized that one, just realised, sorry

[gray cairn]

Derleth, do you speak french by chance?

[heady parcel]

Sadly no, it's on my list of "languages-I'd-like-to-know"

[gray cairn]

Okay, just because of the "comité" in there lmao

I thought

[pliant hatch]

I prefer cheesing after having played a game where the boss summoned minions, which were able to summon minions, which were able to summon minions.
At some point all I did was running around killing what I shouldn't kill because it distracted me from the boss itself.
At some point I learned about a cheese to kill that boss in about 10 seconds; which was long before he would summon his minions (which started at 25% HP loss on him, I think).
It was also the moment I decided that if I could make a fight shorter by cheesing it, I would do so. Simply because the idea of a boss fight becoming a "let's throw a 1,000 minions at the player to make the fight harder" isn't my idea of a boss fight.
I'm there to fight a boss, not the minions and if that means I need to use a method some call a cheesing or even a cheat, so be it.

[heady parcel]

Haha that's just the English spelling with an accent that shouldn't have been there

[gray cairn]

If you have any spare time, start learning right away! It can take years, you just gotta keep doing it until it's second nature, and you'll still be learning more when you're fluent. (I think we should take this to #general tho, this is a bit of a tangent, ahah)

[gray cairn]

Sounds fair enough to me, man

[heady parcel]

Also, there's a bit of a muddled line between "cheese" and "strategy". To me "cheese" is abusing mechanics to win a fight in obviously unintended ways. Bonking Bonemass out of reach might fall into that category, I don't know. But my very recent victory over the queen involved me running into cover behind some indestructible pillars to take out adds, then jump out and make quick guerilla attacks and then rush back to safety before she could wreck me. I don't think that's cheesing, but some might think it is.

To me that's just making use of the environment rather than blocking with my face..

[gray cairn]

As long as we have fun, it's a non competitive PvE game, I think all playstyles are valid, even straight up cheating. I remember having the most fun in GTA cheating the hell out of it.

[gray cairn]

Yeah, same

[heady parcel]

Aye, remember playing Carmageddon back in the 90's and without cheats it was absolutely dreadful, but with invulnerability on it was one of the most fun games I ever played..

[gray cairn]

My brother played that a bit, I remember him telling me about it

[pliant hatch]

One of the things I've been using is digging a big hole out under the Elder's altar.
When you get down the center, the heat of the fire will give you a small Rested Bonus. It isn't much as it's just the fire and the roof - so my guess it's just the 5 points - but it certainly helps with the stamina and health regen. And especially when you have to do that fight and a storm or rain starts.

I've seen people popping down campfires with the "no build cost" on when going to fight the Elder. Their reasoning: the Elder is vulnerable to fire, so if I make sure he's surrounded by fire, his movement may kill himself.

The idea behind it is good. But using a game modifier for that so you won't have to bring all that stone and wood with you, just to make the fight easier is something I consider close to cheating.
Because at that point you won't fight the boss, but let the game mechanics fight the boss.

Yet, I know there are players who think that what I prefer to do is similar. After all, I'm using the game's design to have fire being in a column or sphere and thus also being under a structure to my advantage.

The line between cheating and cheesing is very thin and what one considers as cheesing may be cheating to the other. And most likely always a thing that will be discussed.

Gods, cooked bonemaw meat being stronger than any of my elaborately cooked meals 😂

If you look at the model, it makes sense that serpent/bonemaw meat weighs that much

hmmm, seems frost arrows still kick ass here

Need to go get more drake glands then..

[pliant hatch]

Doubt that'll be a problem now you got up to Ashlands.

[livid zenith]

Frost arrows are the strongest arrow in the game

[heady parcel]

Just a little diversion. I'll find a silver vein and go to town, that usually makes them come to me instead of the other way around

  Plus 4 copper and 5 troll hides, as well as two skill points.
  Not bad when starting at fishing lvl 5, I think.

Hats off to you for fishing

Fishing hat off? 😉

The only reason I went fishing for them is because of the Troll potion as it will be useful when I'm going to continue my building again.

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[rotund bay]

I see

nvm then, it's looks (carapace) doesn't appeal to me

[gray sand]

Valid.

[rotund bay]

will invest on padded helm and pants
just going with full root for a while now because I was investing heavily on bows but going towards the mists while still using it makes me extremely vulnerable due to not being able to do my sneak shots that often

you can break the bed you used as a respawn point on that other island, die again, and respawn on the main island
sure it'll chunk your skills a bit but hopefully you get to building another boat to get to your belongings

Ayo, I just beat the elder and explored an entire swamp biome with no luck, it only had 1 crypt and I couldn't get in because it was underwater.

This common/normal?

[regal spoke]

Swamps with 1 crypt is common.

[cobalt lotus]

Does anyone know when it's worth waiting for an update?

[gray cairn]

Granted it was a small one and I had no expectations, but the crypt being underwater was a bit disappointing.

Are a lot of them inaccessible like that, or was that just a wierd occurence on my map?

[merry pebble]

If you mean Deep North and you are already itching to play then no, we will still have to wait quite some time for it

[cobalt lotus]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about, I just hope that the update will be ready in the summer.

[merry pebble]

Oh almost certainly no

[cobalt lotus]

It's a pity, but it's still worth hoping for

[pliant hatch]

If you had to open an iron gate / door, it's the crypts you need to look for to get iron.
There's always water in them and occasionally you may have to swim through a small hallway as well.
And that water is there because it's a sunken crypt.

If it didn't have an iron door / gate at the entrance it wasn't a sunken crypt.

[gray cairn]

No, no, I've been to the swamps in an earlier game, I know, it was a sunken crypt, but only the tip of it was out of water. I couldn't access the door at all.

I'm gonna assume this is a one off, and not normal in this case. Just bad luck from procedural generation.

It is on the edge of the biome, on the coast leading to the ocean, maybe thats a factor, oh well.

[merry pebble]

That is indeed quite rare 🙂 i enountered 1 or 2 in all my time playing

[pliant hatch]

Got a screenshot?

Because it could be that the PoI is placed in a wrong way. Which means it may be something the Devs may have to look at.

[gray cairn]

Then I am both quite lucky and unlucky 🤣

[gray cairn]

Ah, darn. I'm gonna head back there now and get a screenshot for yall, wish me luck.

[merry pebble]

Did it look something like this? 🙂 #screenshots message
(Just the crypt)

[gray cairn]

It stuck out a bit more than that, but yeah.

Okay, so, I'm an idiot

Or maybe not, anyways.

I thought it was a crypt, but it was a reading tablet thingy with torches. 😅

The torches were why I thought it was a crypt

Ah, that one would be easier to find submerged i think. 😄

[merry pebble]

Hit him and shoot him 🙂

[austere tangle]

Fire arrows works pretty well

Are you using the pillars for protection?

[heady parcel]

Keep in motion to avoid the roots, take cover behind pillar when he does his ranged attack, chop him with axe/sword, shoot with fire arrows

[shy marlin]

Run from his roots and then hide behind pillars shooting fire arrows

[heady parcel]

The roots are static, so when he spawns them just move away

[regal spoke]

Block or dodge the roots and clear if getting to be to many. Or avoid and kite out of vine reach

[nocturne wolf]

Bosses are friendly to all creatures except for tamed creatures.

What food and armor did you have?

[silent oriole]

clear the area of trash before you fight the boss.

[merry pebble]

You should have better food at that stage

And troll or bronze armor

[nocturne wolf]

Always get the best food and equipment a biome can give you before fighting its boss

[silent oriole]

if you need, build a fence around the stone arena.

[gray cairn]

Keep looting the black forest for white flowers, tbey'll give you carrot seeds, plant those, get carrots, and then better food items

Are there any Iron sources in Ashlands?

[narrow oriole]

Might be a dumb question but is it safe to backup a corrupt safe file

[silent oriole]

there won't be masses of dwarfs or skeletons to break through your walls and overrun you though. lmao
it takes time and then you maybe get 1

[gray cairn]

Yes, but it takes time. That time is super useful, its a few minutes of peace while you hack away at the boss.

[merry pebble]

Putrid holes, pots in there can sometimes drop it, why?

[gray cairn]

Yeah

[heady parcel]

I forgot to bring two iron for the damn stone bench

[merry pebble]

What do you need it for 🤔

[silent oriole]

i wonder how you get so many enemies there anyway. they barely spawn at day if you clearl the general area out

[gray cairn]

On that note, can you get more iron after the swamps, or is it a swampfarm until endgame?

[shy marlin]

Stone portal = stone cutter = 2 iron

[merry pebble]

Swamps will stay most effective but there are other ways 🙂

[gray cairn]

Sweet, thank you!

[merry pebble]

Yes, but you can bring the iron from home if you have materials for stone portal 🙂

[shy marlin]

i always forget that the stone portal can connect to regular portals

just seems backward i feel like stone portal should only be able to connect to another stone portal

[heady parcel]

I want to build in stone, is all. Need some cover for the shield generator

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah then putrid holes, but you will have to be somewhat lucky 🙂

It has 3,85% of droping from the pots

[heady parcel]

Haven't found whatever it is that is needed for the stone portal yet.

[merry pebble]

You will eventually 😄

[heady parcel]

Stupid thing is I did bring mats for the stonecutter - but I used the stonecutter to build the FOB just outside Ashlands, and forgot it there.

Considering how it took me two days and one night to navigate the stone pillar labyrinth, I don't look forward to doing that again, so I'll try and find iron here..

Is ashwood fire proof?

[merry pebble]

I believe its suposed to, but last time i checked it was not

[void turtle]

Can I beat moder with level 2 armor?

[merry pebble]

Yep, every boss is balanced to be doable with lvl1 armor from its biome 🙂

[heady parcel]

Argh, is the windmill just not working off-screen sometimes a known issue?

Came back after a week or so and it had processed a single barley in that time, gah

[void turtle]

I’m planning to get a level 3 fang spear and level 2 draugr fang, and obsidian arrows will that work?

[merry pebble]

Yep, that is a pretty good gear for her 🙂

[void turtle]

Good

[silent oriole]

moder was more or less the worst boss for me so far

[merry pebble]

She is probably the most buggy boss sadly, but she is not really hard to beat 🙂

[void turtle]

How many obsidian arrows?

[merry pebble]

100+ i would say, 2 stacks should be enough even if you miss a lot and you will also be doing melee dmg

[regal spoke]

Bonemass taught us a lot about, the importance of stamina

[tiny mortar]

Hi everyone, I am currently working on my board game type of style thing, no coding or anything, just pure 3D models at the moment. I was wondering if I would have the permission from the devs to use the base player 3D model? If not that is completely fine and understandable. This game of mine will not be used for any monetization, and purely for private uses between me and my friends.

I dont want to directly ping the developers as I can imagine theyre busy, but if someone from the dev team comes across this message, a reply would be appreciated.

[royal seal]

so I have exactly five black cores. Should I prioritise an eitr refinery or a black forge?

[ashen geyser]

both

[royal seal]

I can only make one rn

[tiny mortar]

Eitr

Youll always beed eitr, best to get working on it asap

[ashen geyser]

forge make a weapon then deconstruct and make refinery

[gray sand]

You can swap between them.

Like we used to do with Smelters and Kilns before Kilns became obsolete.

[royal seal]

wait, huh? kilns are obsolete??

[gray sand]

Turn on realistic fire.
Build wood stack.
Shoot with fire arrow or just build next to existing fire.

[tiny mortar]

Kilns no, not really. But yes there are better ways of getting coal. F.e. a coal farm in the swamp

[gray sand]

Kilns, yes. Really. Read above.

[tiny mortar]

Still a good source, just not as good as everything else

[tiny mortar]

Wait, when was this added? Havent played in like a year lmao

[gray sand]

Ashlands.

[tiny mortar]

Ah. Haven't been there yet on my main save

[gray sand]

In the Ashlands wood burns. They added the option to make wood actually burn in fire like it should everywhere else.
You have to check the box.

And then you actually have to be realistic about where you put your fireplace inside your wooden house.

[royal seal]

ahh, gotcha. I thought the conversion rate was better or something.

[gray sand]

Side effect of this realism is Kilns now obsolete.

[gray sand]

That would be a nice way to balance it.
Instant fire way being 1:1 but Kiln slow, time-consuming way being 1:2.

But alas, it is not so 🤷‍♂️

[royal seal]

btw, how do chickens lay eggs? I bred my two chickens but found no egg, do certain conditions need to be met?

[merry pebble]

More like the fire method being 2:1

[merry pebble]

They need some space, like other animals

[royal seal]

isn't that for the breeding to happen in the first place?

like, shouldn't the egg be laid once I see pink hearts?

[merry pebble]

The pink hearts indicate love point being gained, after certain ammount is aquired attempt to lay egg will be made, if there is more hens than the limit the attempt will fail.

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

[royal seal]

I only have two hens. They do share the pen with a bunch of boars and wolves, but according to the wiki that shouldn't matter

[merry pebble]

Yep, but if they are too far from each other they will also not breed

[royal seal]

yeah, in that case I probably just left the area too soon then

[tiny mortar]

Man, the game is 20€

[velvet crescent]

i dont have money on steam rn

[tiny mortar]

So cheap, just go buy it yourself

[ashen geyser]

the harvester set doesn't affect the xp you get towards farming ,right?i know if you're higher level you get xp slower

[merry pebble]

At higher levels you simply need more xp for the next one, you gain still the same ammount no matter your skill lvl 🙂

[empty nest]

this map they put the elder 3 islands over past a swamp and the plains WTF!?

got jumped by a goblin miskoto and a bull lost port boat and everything

[merry pebble]

Nobody put anything anywhere, the map is proceduraly generated

[gray sand]

Random does tend to mean... random.

[unreal bloom]

i have never been in mistlands but are fights as intense as this there? or is this modded? https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/BsrdBa1Ec4

nvm i think we can just change hp dmg i. diff sliders or?

[merry pebble]

No this is not modded 🙂

Yes you can change the world modifiers

[shy marlin]

that's just poor handling of an infested mine

[vocal rivet]

Just go to a different one.

[shy marlin]

If you're nervous about the upcoming content, ooze bombs will be your best friend in infested mines

[empty nest]

how?

[vocal rivet]

Walking or sailing.

[gray sand]

Is running not an option? 😭

[shy marlin]

No run challenge run 😏

[merry pebble]

Go for it xD

[shy marlin]

Gotta finish no armor no pot run first

[empty nest]

but how do i find a different elder location?

[vocal rivet]

Find a new Vegvisr.

[ashen geyser]

do you upload or stream these runs or do them just for fun?

[shy marlin]

i upload em and i'm workin on finalizing a no food perma death run 🙂 don't really like talkin about it tho idk

[gray sand]

Scales | Streamer

😏

[shy marlin]

ah yes my 11 mbps download and 5mbps upload 😏

[gray sand]

2 upload speeds and no download?

[shy marlin]

listen it's finals week

[gray sand]

Imagine not being retired... 😏

[royal seal]

do you need to be within breeding range for an egg to hatch?

[gray cairn]

I GOT MY FIRST IRON, still 0 deaths so far 😎

[wooden tapir]

no, they will hatch and grow while you are away

[gray cairn]

Oh, no, I understand the "never enough iron" memes, now. Did a spreadsheet of how much I need and holy shit.

[tame merlin]

this guy bro

[wintry valve]

iron is also really useful to make huge buildings, so you might think you need a whole lot of iron

you actually need more. How much you need? All of it

[gray cairn]

Yeah, i know about the iron wood thingies that give better support, I counted for em.

[royal seal]

also cage walls/floors can be used to provide support

y'all, is there any reason not to hatch eggs? Egg-based foods seem kinda expensive for the stats they give tbh, especially compared to chicken.

[gray sand]

Doing spreadsheets? pssshhhhh.

Who would ever... 😏

[gray cairn]

Man, I'm torn.

Do I start a new main base on this new small island close with a swamp? Or do I only leave it as a camp to farm Iron, and build up/upgrade my first base?

On one hand, I'd love to make new bases, on the other, there'd be no more reasons for me to stay on that island once I've gotten all the iron from it. But there's around 8 crypts.

[wooden tapir]

stack carts on your boat for more storage space

[gray sand]

Stack boats on your boat for more cart space for more storage space.

[gray cairn]

I'm good on the moving ressources front, I'm just wondering if building a new base there is worth it. I think it'd be better to wait until plains

[wooden tapir]

also if you dont like a full cart on your boat, you can place an item in the cart, destroy it and put the box it drops in the boat, it has 4 slots

[gray cairn]

Or until I find another swamp, far away.

[wooden tapir]

its a preference thing, some people move their bases around each biome, but i personally only build a base if i intend on staying in an area long term

[gray cairn]

Yeah, I'd only be there for the iron. It's a small island, and not too far from my main base.

Prolly gonna be more of a hassle than anything.

[royal seal]

is there any difference between chestplates and helmets? Like, right now I'm on padded armour and wanna get carapace, is there a difference between getting helm and chestplate? Or, rather, as the helmet is cheaper, is there a reason not to get it first?

[shy marlin]

Helm has no movement penalty

[gray sand]

For now 😏

[shy marlin]

Irongate doesn't do balance

[gray sand]

Watch it not have a movement penalty, but a turning speed penalty to match how heavy things affect your ability to turn your head

[tepid prawn]

I'd argue for realism it should have movement penalty, but devs have stated very often that realism is not a great concern haha

But no one knows what will happen to things like this in 1.0 - I do expect we'll get a few things we did not see coming!

[shy marlin]

surely 1.0 fixes swords

surreeeeeeellyyy right

[royal seal]

yeah but all heavy armours have a -5% so it's not really a factor

[gray sand]

😭 😢 😿

[shy marlin]

[vocal rivet]

One goes on your head, one on your torso.

[sand lichen]

when does xbox get the new update ?

[vocal rivet]

When everyone else does.

Why would they get an update on a different day?

[gaunt wagon]

I would do a Iron Storage in the Crypts once you clear out the Undead and then gather enough of set iron and put them into the longboat. It's what I would do during my adventures.

[oak flume]

Is there any xbox public servers?*

[cyan briar]

I just spent 2 hours building a balcony without realizing that everything breaks when it's not under a roof

[gray sand]

Breaks?
Or just drops to 50% and stays there without ever breaking?

[next harness]

Deathsquito is no more a nightmare

Finally killed modder btw

[shy marlin]

Rip modders

[gray sand]

The kind of killing I can endorse 😏

[gray sand]

New Marvel fanfic: Gor the Mod Butcher.

[near furnace]

it only breaks if it doesn't have support 🤔
the weather damage from rain only leaves it at 50%

[cyan briar]

Which makes it ugly, which is objectively worse than it breaking 😔

[near furnace]

Then roofing is needed

[gray sand]

Beauty is in the eye of the mead holder.

I sometimes intentionally let rain damage happen before roofing so I can have different patterns and colors based on what I repair.

[keen trench]

uhyea, damaged wood color fits black forest ambience so well (and swamp ofc)

[heady parcel]

Is there any gear with fire resistance in Ashlands, or do I need to expand my brewery? Going through lots of barley wine, my stores are dwindling

[merry pebble]

No there isnt. There is gear with heat resistance but that works for other things, not fire dmg.

[gray sand]

What is doing fire damage to you in the Ashlands?

[heady parcel]

Right, thanks. Off to build a couple of fermenters then...

[gray sand]

Ok but... what is doing fire damage to you in the Ashlands?

Twitcher - no.
Marksman - no.
Warrior - no.
Morgen - no.
Asksvin - no.
Volture - no.
Valk - no.

[merry pebble]

Valk yes 😉

[gray sand]

It is exclusive to Warlocks and Lava Blobs.

Blobs can be entirely avoided due to their windup time.
So.. just Warlocks are burning through your meads?

[merry pebble]

Also not nice to spoil the enemies

[heady parcel]

Lava, fires - and I'm wearing the feather cape so not taking any risks to get that sweet weakness damage

Lava blobs have given me a few scares

[gray sand]

Hmmm. I have them as just Slash/Pierce and Blunt/Pierce 🤔

[merry pebble]

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

They literally spit fire projectiles 😄

[gray sand]

Ah, third attack isn't staggering damage which is why I don't have it.

[gray sand]

Biome is a year old for one, for 2 he stated he was burning through his stores from being there.

So in both cases - not spoils.

[merry pebble]

And from the past few days of messages its clear he just got in the ashlands 🙂

While it should not be surprising to come across spoilers here, I really think we should try to preserve the first-feel experience for others whenever we can.

[heady parcel]

Grateful for that, I don't mind small tidbits of info in here or I wouldn't have asked in the first place - but I'm avoiding the wiki for now!

[heady parcel]

Would you pros say swapping my upgraded carapace armour for the Ask set is a good idea for early Ashlands? It would cost me 24 armour, but I don't know how big of an impact that would have, while the set bonus looks really nice. Might be easier to just not get hit using that...

[merry pebble]

Mobility is very useful in ashlands, but if you want to switch then pick either pants, chest or both, you can keep helmet since those do not have movement penalty 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

With the helmet you don't get the set bonus though

[heady parcel]

I need all three to get the set bonus though? I'm fully used to using full heavy armour normally, so the only reason to swap for me would be to get the set bonus.

[merry pebble]

Ah, true

My brain mismatched how its effect works with fenris speed boost

[heady parcel]

What I'm wondering is if the loss of 24 armour would make me too squishy, considering my dodge skills are sub par

[nocturne wolf]

You could upgrade it before swapping to lose less armor

[merry pebble]

Just try and see 🙂 you can always fall back to heavy armour

[heady parcel]

I need to find forge upgrades before I can upgrade anything, so yeah - gonna have to try and see. Set bonus with Himminafl seems a good match 😄

[nocturne wolf]

There's one you can make pretty early in ashlands progression. Do you have flametal and ashwood?

[heady parcel]

No metal yet, don't even know where I mine it yet. I suppose in the lava, which scares me...

[merry pebble]

One question, did you find any dvergr camps yet?

[pliant hatch]

Can find it in the outposts too. Just look for those where the Dverger are been killed, destroy the ward and crates and enjoy the riches.

[heady parcel]

Only seen one dwarf, and I shot him (totally by accident, thought he was a charred with a funny hat) before I could ask him directions

Will just explore some more, there's a few ruins-looking things near where I landed, I'll head there first.

[gray sand]

Ask Armor + Ash Cape all day unless you're a mage.

[nocturne wolf]

No, feather cape

[heady parcel]

Don't have any cape recipes yet, so it's still the feather cape. Which is why I came to ask about fire resistance in the first place 😄

Instinct has had me popping barley wine back to back since I arrived, I'll try to not use it unless I really need to. But everything looks so fiery!

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need barley wine so much, but lightfoot mead will make dodging much easier

[cedar swan]

Does every moder have mistland around him?

[vocal rivet]

No. It depends entirely on world gen.

[heady parcel]

No, that is unusual from what I have seen.

[vocal rivet]

Surrounding the 4th biome boss with the 6th biome would be a bloody weird choice.

[cedar swan]

I have found 2 moders and both of them have mistland around them

[heady parcel]

That sounds like a brutal seed

[merry pebble]

Yeah, quite a bad luck

[cedar swan]

Damn

How can I find 3rd moders location

[heady parcel]

Are they completely surrounded? Normally you'd at least be able to approach the mountain from at least one direction that is not Mistlands.

[merry pebble]

Same as 1st and 2nd

[cedar swan]

Find the location register?

[merry pebble]

Yep, the stone with red circular symbol on it

[cedar swan]

As much I have observed they are quite literally surrounded

[heady parcel]

A vaegvisir away in the direction of the map opposite to the ones you have found already

[cedar swan]

The first one have a very narrow path through mistland

[heady parcel]

You could dash through there during day and bring mats for a portal with you, then you won't have to do it again if you collect eggs on that mountain.

[compact barn]

is there a way to configure the game so that pressing the same hotkey as my currently active weapon, does NOT holster said item? straight up malding at the unresponsive weaponswitch that leads to button mashing that leads to holstering weapon and blocking with fist and dying. its not even a skill issue, its just a really unecessary input delay/global cooldown on weapon swap

[heady parcel]

Not an issue I have ever come across, I didn't even know hitting the hotkey a second time would sheathe the weapon. I use R to do that normally. Taking sheathe away from the hotkey could not be very disrupting, considering that. Make a suggestion about that in the suggestions channel, if there isn't one already.

[compact barn]

its funny, i was expecting exactly this answer. its like an internet universal truth.
user1: requests solution for a problem
user2: i dont have that problem/also have that problem

thanks, thats great, but that does not help me

[heady parcel]

The problem solving would be posting a suggestion for the devs to solve the problem. As far as I know there is no way to do it currently.

[chrome badge]

I remember having that sheathing issue for a short time, but being in enough life and death scenarios have forced me to recalibrate that reflex.

[compact barn]

its really counter intuitive because you have to actually be slow/slow down enough to match the global cooldown lockout. pressing the key mid animation or something and the swap wont register

so if anything, it makes me a slower and worse player, by enforcing this weird global cooldown restriction

[chrome badge]

I somewhat agree, but you describing how it works means there is some intuition taking place.

[compact barn]

the point is that i am allowing extra time to get smacked in the head while waiting for global cooldown to reset so i can swap my weapon. then the result is, i am pressing too fast and that does not register my weapon swap, so i press again.. and again. and voila, fisticuffs vs Godking the Vikingslayer

[chrome badge]

From there it will just take some adjustments

[compact barn]

i think all of this is a terrible and clunky mechanic, in a game that otherwise feels very fluid and smooth

[chrome badge]

You can get used to it, it makes sense to have these delays with the amount of enemy weaknesses, it can quickly become meta to switch between weapons quickly

[compact barn]

you can get used to it

i have 650 hours /played

when will i get used to it?

[chrome badge]

Just showing my faith

[merry pebble]

It almost seems like you are not supposed to switch weapons while fighting, could make you quite vulnerable for a bit 😉

[compact barn]

most clueless take

you didnt even read the question

[azure yacht]

Yes, because it isn't a problem in the first place so idk what other answer you would expect

[compact barn]

easy block

[flat lagoon]

Hey guys. Does anyone happen to have a discord link to the Valheim Remastered guys discord? Just started their 80+ mod set and had a quick question. Thanks.

[chrome badge]

I don't believe links are allowed, but you could inquire in #mods-discussion

[flat lagoon]

Good call. Thanks.

[azure yacht]

Being blocked for the slightest of disagreements...

I would not bother, it already showed its true colors

People less than 13 years are not allowed here for a reason

[broken kraken]

How come trolls can break finewood trees but lox cannot?

[vocal rivet]

Seems a reasonable take to me.

[vocal rivet]

People can read a question and still disagree with it.

[azure yacht]

Don't bother

@vocal rivet that don't bother trying to reason with that one. You won't get anything useful from it

[regal spoke]

Sounds like you panic in combat? Pulling out construction hammer is a useful tech against weapon swap delay and animations. Yea it means cycling through more keys. Weapon swap on Xbox is even more fun than PC. Should try it some time

[compact barn]

guys if ur not gonna read what i wrote, dont ping with with stupid takes, im not interested

if u cant read what i write, then i wont read your response either

No sir. I was born free. Hence my inability to not cuss somebody out when they out of pocket. Freedom units freely delivered. No tariffs necessary

[cobalt canyon]

About your car's extended warranty - oh wait, wrong bit.

[gray cairn]

No, there isn't. You'll have to re-configure keys manually outside of the game. Easy to do with steam deck, would take a bit of tinkering, but you'll have to do some testing on your own side.

[pliant hatch]

And most likely have to do it again and again and again each time a new update drops.
And with "update" I'm not only talking about the DN, but also each and every bug solving patch.

[heady parcel]

Nah, see the above follow up. Got no issue with joke names on your average server, but on rp servers there are indeed naming conventions.

[gray cairn]

Yeah, I 100% agree, I was just pulling your leg a little, no offense intended. 🙂

[regal spoke]

On the topic. I don't often see viking names in game on servers.

[gray cairn]

That's true. Your average joe(me) doesn't know many names beyond Ragnar tho.

[heady parcel]

My main viking is named Grjótharður 😄

[gray cairn]

Idk what that word sounds like, but I already know it sounds badass

[heady parcel]

Just knock just about anything into google translate to Icelandic - got your Viking name!

[regal spoke]

Tbf I don't use proper viking names either lol

[regal spoke]

Wonder what coxwab would be in Icelandic lol

[heady parcel]

Hanaþurrkur

(according to google, I take no responsibility for accuracy...)

[regal spoke]

Thanks for that.

[heady parcel]

I have no idea how to pronounce that letter in the middle. Dangit, in school we did train some Danish and Norwegian, but Icelandic is too remote I guess, it might as well be greek it's so far removed.

[cobalt canyon]

I didn't intend for it but I think "Gruictor" sounds plausibly Viking - do y'all think?

[vocal rivet]

There are a few but not many.

[silent oriole]

guys, what am i doing wrong that i have huge food problems?
i have a field with iirc 400 barley, i have a field with 300 onions, the yotun bubbly things, etc. but i always struggle to have enough in mistlands

[dry plank]

oh alright thanks

[heady parcel]

What is your playstyle - tanky (HHS), mobility (HSS) or mage (HEE)? No matter what style you should not have any food problems really, unless you haven't fully upgraded your cauldron and built the food preparation table. Might need to spend more time hunting hares - and don't forget to raise chickens.

[silent oriole]

i am in mistlands. i... use the carapace armor

since fenris is too squishy.
my food that i usually do rn is onyo soup, seeker roast and bread.
i am trying to change the soup to salads

[merry pebble]

Mage should really use SEE, the bubble staff takes care of health

[heady parcel]

Playing melee I spent most of my time in Mistlands on Lox pie, serpent stew and salad. Once I had enough hare and seeker meat I swapped the serpent stew for meat platter, and later the pie for honey glazed chicken.

[merry pebble]

And even as a tank you can use HSS with great success 😄

[heady parcel]

I prefer surviving the odd hit, never had problems managing stamina. And if the dung hits the windmill there is always meads...

[warm sandal]

I play a mix of anything normally and before i get some magic i go HHS and after I go HSE and I never had a probleme surviving and killing what needs to be dead. It all comes down to playstyle not only food you eat. But I agree... see that you get the best bang for your food that you can possibly have and do not run around the mistland on wolfskewer and carrotsoup or somesuch

[heady parcel]

Yeah, cooked meat is a waste of materials really, go with lox pie or meat platter instead of cooked seeker meat. And if you haven't started raising chickens you should do that!

[warm sandal]

also i go HHS with the fenris on in the plains with no problems what so ever on normal difficulty... a little less os on hard difficulty... had to get me ratatosk and padded helmet as I only had wolfsskewer in the beginning and sausage and eyescreme...soo there is that it also depends on what difficulty you play

[gray cairn]

Testing

Sick. I was timed out for some reason. Idk what I did or said. Wierd.

[merry pebble]

DM @dusky pivot and ask 🙂 it often is accidental misspelling of some word which makes it into either bad word, word from other language or stuff like that which then triggers automod

[warm sandal]

the bar i hate being small most is the stamina bar so there is always the highest stamina food I can afford in the mix... Actually I usually never make meatplatter - that stuff is expensive as hell misthare supreme is much better and not as expenisve

[gray cairn]

I already did, yeah. Good to know! 🙂

[silent oriole]

well, seeker meat is easy to get. kill seekers, fry them. the lox paste requires multiple ingredients, etc.
yesterday i finally unlocked the feasts, i wonder if 1 feast + salad + bread would be good. but then i obviously need to step up the barley

[warm sandal]

I live on honeyglazed chicken, misthare supreme and salad or omlett in the Mistlands... just saying

bread is plains tier ...salad is mistlands tier

[silent oriole]

hares are a pain in the ass to sufficiently hunt. but i guess i just didn't spam the entire mistlands part i am currently in with fog torches

[warm sandal]

tame some lox at the border to the mistlands and breed them... got 10 stacks of hare meat that I just picked up of the ground next to my base 😄

[merry pebble]

For hares the staff of embers is awesome 🙂

[warm sandal]

let the lox, squitos and fuling do the hunting and never go hungry

[regal spoke]

The filter is rough. Been timed out three times. Two were for saying the other form of rooster. One was for Imp-ear-yum. Yet I got away with legit cuss words this morning. Man I can't call it.

[gray cairn]

Wierd. I'll be careful. Why would euh.. that I word be on the filter?

[regal spoke]

They are a server company who was advertising here in the wrong ways. So Smiffe put em on filter lol

[gray cairn]

I think I swore once or twice at least so far, I'm a real potty mouth irl so I'll watch out.

[vocal rivet]

Neither of those are unreasonable.

[gray cairn]

That's actually a good idea

Watch out for animal names such as the bird, the dog, the donkey and the rooster.

[warm sandal]

wish i could find a way to filter them peddlers better in my twitch stream... so annoying 😄

[regal spoke]

They're actually good dudes. Retired military. They run a nice operation. But yea they ruffled smiffes feathers.

Not my filter sir. I'm just pointing out it's a little dumb

[pliant hatch]

Count as in the one where Sesamestreet went wrong....

[vocal rivet]

Except it isn't. A bit trigger happy maybe.

[regal spoke]

Sometimes it's good to count the C's in the room on entry

[gray cairn]

Dog one is fine, then. And Richard.

[regal spoke]

Aye everyone loves Richard

[gray cairn]

THATS MY FAVOURITE WORD 😭

[vocal rivet]

Spot the Australian.

[gray cairn]

Canadian

[vocal rivet]

Close enough.

[regal spoke]

We use C word as disrespect in the states. Meanwhile Ausis use it like we use bro lol

[gray cairn]

Sure 🤣

[gray cairn]

We use it as an insult, too, here.

[vocal rivet]

Used to be ours, not so fussed anymore, kinda speaks English. Interchangeable really.

[regal spoke]

Test: wanker

[gray cairn]

Teeth

[regal spoke]

Yep see. That's close to the level of insult the C word holds

[warm sandal]

Okay...since the niveau here just dropped below the carpet Imma gonna go do some japanese learning now...ttyl 😄

[gray cairn]

Con

[gray cairn]

Works in french!

[merry pebble]

Guys... I am waiting when the chat gets purged, either because of the content or because this is valheim chat xD

[gray cairn]

Damn, you're right, thought this was general, my bad

I'm moving along.

[regal spoke]

Hopefully the filter gets improved from our delinquency

Sorry for being off topic. Hope you amazing Vikings have a lovely day

[vocal rivet]

Not even close.

[vocal rivet]

Smiffe will be by soon enough. He gets pinged for all of those words even if they're not automodded.

[wild lion]

Are the wiki entries for the Slayer red/blue/green upgrades scuffed? The data on the right hand table is different from the table at the bottom (showing upgrades). What are the actual real numbers?

[silent oriole]

i have yet to really tame anything efficient. i have 1 2 star boar in a pen

but outside of that nothing. i looked a lot for a starred lox but learned they cant have any

[warm sandal]

I never tame boars it is boaaaaring... but i do tame lox - but I make sure i build a base at the border to the mistlands and tame them there...they are useful watchdogs and skilled fuling and hare killers 😄

[vocal rivet]

Which table?

[azure yacht]

and what's different?

[silent oriole]

i assume it will be easier to snipe hares if you clear out a big area of mist...

[azure yacht]

I see now

It's only for green and blue slayer. And the red one is correct but the upgrade table from below is not side to side with the info card of the article

[vocal rivet]

I've read this three times and I'm still lost. What do you mean not side to side?

[silent oriole]

i assume he means the ashlands imbued weapons? lightning, ... poison? and blood?

[vocal rivet]

Well, yes.

I can tell becuase that's what they said. But it wasn't what i asked.

[merry pebble]

I cannot see any differences

Tho the Scourging Slayer tables seem to be a bit broken, but that is the only one

[silent oriole]

also is there any real reason to get the mistlands axe? or do i skip it and just use blackmetal one?

it looks weaker damage wise.

[gray cairn]

Sounds exhausting. Sorry, smiffe.

[merry pebble]

It has better total base dmg and even cuts faster, but you dont need it for cutting new trees or anything

[wild lion]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Scourging_Slayer
On the right hand side it says Primary attack says 135 slash and 10 lightning. Under that (the upgrade table) shows 170 slash 10 lightning.

[vocal rivet]

Gotcha.

[wild lion]

Is it supposed to be 135+10? Or is it actually 170+10?

[merry pebble]

170+10

[wild lion]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Primal_Slayer This one is messed up as well (in the opposite way though - the upgrade table says 135+10).

[merry pebble]

Where? that one is fine

[wild lion]

Someone already fixed it. I just refreshed and it is good now.

You guys are fast! Thanks

[merry pebble]

When we have info 😄 if you find anything else dont hesitate and tell us

[vocal rivet]

We started working on it as soon as it was originally raised.

[wild lion]

Love it!

So now that I have confirmed they are all 170 damage (plus their effects), is there one people generally prefer or is it more preference/matchup dependent? In other words, which one should I focus on first?

[merry pebble]

Depends on your playstyle, but usually iolite or jade version is preffered 🙂 for bloodstone version to work properly and for you to use its effect effetively, you have to use quite specific playstyle

[silent oriole]

so how would one approach a hare farm? i make a pen and then.... harpoon hares into it?

[vocal rivet]

Why would you want one?

[silent oriole]

meat farm?

[vocal rivet]

But you'd have to keep getting more hares.

Why not just kill them where they are?

[silent oriole]

i assumed that 2 hares would, through breeding lead to infinite hares
like 2 make 3, then 4, then 4 make 6, 6 make 9, etc 😂

[merry pebble]

¨We cant tame hares

[vocal rivet]

You can't tame hares, let alone breed them.

[silent oriole]

wait really? i vividly remember watching a video about hare farms... welp, then that idea dies

[sharp bluff]

well, you can "farm" them by placing stakes

little shits are all over the mistlands and die easily

[pliant hatch]

My guess is that player used a mod.
I believe there's a mod out that lets you tame all animals..

I also believe that a player should mention that (s)he's using mods when making videos to avoid confusion like this. Unfortunally, not all that record Valheim do that.

[silent oriole]

i would not have issues arbalest sniping them, if i would see a damn thing in the mists. ree

[heady parcel]

Haha I think the opposite, seeker meat and lox meat I have coffers overflowing with, so with only a misthare steak added to it I consider it the cheapest of the bunch. Relatively that is... But seeker and lox meat is impossible to not have tons of just by moving around in either biome, the one thing that is annoying to hunt is the cursed hares. I tend to scavenge frontier zones with plains, where the hares are routinely killed by deathsqitos..

[heady parcel]

Well, you're already making bread - which is honestly a bit of a waste of barley flour. The flour is better utilised with either the lox pie (cloud berries grow in dense clusters, five to ten minutes of picking will easily get you a couple of stacks - enough for both salad and pies) or the blood pudding which is a better stamina food than bread. The ingredients for that you should have tons of after having been to the swamp. Something I do like about the bread though is that it stacks to 20. When exploring I often use wolf skewer, sausage and bread just to not have to go back home for food so often.

[tacit crystal]

Putting some wisp torches in area can help seeing them, they don't prevent mob spawning either.

[silent oriole]

yeah, i may reconsider bread to lox pies, and when i make lox pies, also just put some inot the feast. to be on feast - pie - salad

[merry pebble]

Then buy it...

[velvet crescent]

dh money sadly

[vocal rivet]

Then you'll just have to save.

[velvet crescent]

I dont have it sadly

[heady parcel]

It's like three packs of cigarettes or pints of lager, a pretty negligible price tbh.

[velvet crescent]

like i got no perm to buy it but i really wanna play it

like you all got alts?

[vocal rivet]

Ask mommy or daddy to buy it for you.

[fervent robin]

Do you guys think I can handle Yagluth with my silver equipment?

[heady parcel]

Silver sword is pretty much the best weapon to use against him, so yeah.

[merry pebble]

Silver sword or frostner are 2 of the best choices of weapons for him, if you can i would make padded armor if you have wolf now

[fervent robin]

Oh nice

[heady parcel]

Yag is however a step up in boss difficulty, it's actually the only boss I've died to so far

[fervent robin]

I need yggdrassil for the black forge, but I can't chop yggdrassil without black metal axe

[merry pebble]

He can be pretty intense for the first time, for sure 🙂

[merry pebble]

Go make it then 😄

[fervent robin]

But I need black forge for the black metal axe, right?

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂

[fervent robin]

Oh

[merry pebble]

just forge lvl 4 or above

[fervent robin]

How do I smelt my black metal scrap?

[heady parcel]

Did you kill Moder? She drops what you need

[vocal rivet]

It's literally Plains level.

[fervent robin]

[fervent robin]

No I haven't even found Moder. Just Yugluth or whatever the name is and the Queen.

[merry pebble]

You prgress to next biome before killing bosses?

[vocal rivet]

Why are you playing backwards?

[heady parcel]

Well, then I would explore more mountains to locate Moder, her drops unlock the plains gear.

Generally, rushing only makes things very complicated and unfun, wait a bit with Mistlands and go find Moder so you can do Plains properly.

[ember panther]

Moder can be hard to find. I did the same my first playthrough but finding the queen already like that is crazy

[fervent robin]

I didn't even know I skipped a boss because I haven't found that boss.

[merry pebble]

But... Each biome has a boss...

[fervent robin]

I thought Yugluth was either the frost mountain boss or plains boss.

But I have yet to come to his location, I just see him on the map.

I do have five black cores, though, so I can get the black forge the second I get more yggdrassil.

[heady parcel]

Aright, you should definitely do a bit more adventuring in the mountains. The vaegvisirs are often in ruined towers or frost caves.

[fervent robin]

Alright

I summon Moder with the dragon eggs, right?

[heady parcel]

Yeah

[fervent robin]

Nice, then I'll find him in no time now that I know he exists.

[heady parcel]

Her, by the way, Moder is the mother of drakes 😄

[fervent robin]

The drakes are super easy, so as long as I bring a bunch of arrows, I'll probably destroy her 🇧🇻

But maybe I can take Yugluth first?

Because I already know his location.

[merry pebble]

Dont

[fervent robin]

It's tempting now that he's right there

[nocturne wolf]

Defeating Yagluth first will enable multiple raids that you probably aren't strong enough for

[fervent robin]

Oh wow.

I don't even know how that works, so yeah, I guess I'll have to take Moder first.

[vocal rivet]

It has done that for every other boss you've defeated.

[fervent robin]

Oh that! I call them sieges. Raids sounded like a new thing.

You know when lots of monsters attack your home.

[vocal rivet]

The only seiges in the game are done by the player.

[fervent robin]

The monster raid attacks ends in a certain amount of time, right? Regardless of how many I kill?

[merry pebble]

Correct 🙂

[fervent robin]

Then I feel pretty confident because of my big stone walls.

[ember panther]

My free range wolf horde has been taking care of raids no problem. Even up to seekers

[elder stone]

Fader was a lot easier than I anticipated. It pays to be prepared.

[regal spoke]

Grayling be sieging my front door all the time. Granted I leave it open.

[vocal rivet]

I mean, they don't but OK.

[regal spoke]

Your a tough one to take the piss with. Ok at the least uninvited lol

[vocal rivet]

Oh, no, make a joke and I'll be right there with you.

[regal spoke]

Fair. Poor crack at something funny

[void turtle]

Moder dead

[celest acorn]

Why is the test cape from the console commands so silly tho??

[merry pebble]

Because it was used for some kind of tests 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Next you'll be wondering why we have a corgi statue.

[merry pebble]

We have a corgi statue?! 👀

[vocal rivet]

Yup.

[merry pebble]

That one i never found tho i found the halo glider

[vocal rivet]

Careful spawning it. Legend has it that it can't be removed.

[merry pebble]

Legend might be correct, never tried removing it. But since i use commands in this fashion only on test worlds it never was a problem 😄

[upbeat swan]

right, ive killed 3 of the bosses now and i managed to get silver! where would be the best biome to build my 'main' outpost ? this will be built into a town/village adventually 🙂

[gray sand]

Best is subjective.

There are people who have built in every single biome.
So there is no wrong answer to "where main base" --> Build where you, personally, feel like building.

[upbeat swan]

is there any advantages/dissadvantages?

[gray sand]

Everywhere.

[quasi latch]

If you want to do any metal processing at your base, it would be a good idea to be coastal so that you can ship ore easily, for example

[gray sand]

*Provided you don't portal metal.

[upbeat swan]

so as i am new and this is my first ever survival game rather than get mega confused i have a couple mods, mainly graphical however i have 'no max weight' and increesed inv slots, untill i get a rough understanding of the game / mobs/ items etc then i will make a whole new vanilla world!

currently iron/silver stage 3 bosses killed and 30 hours played ...

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[quasi latch]

Apart from the mods you listed, do you have any others that affect gameplay meaningfully?

[upbeat swan]

nope 🙂

[empty nest]

no max weight is a big cheat lol

[upbeat swan]

yeah i get that 100% but im very slow learning haha

[gray sand]

Inventory management is a key part of the game (and is a lot simpler than people make it out to be).
So the whole "Until I get an understanding" --> You will never get this understanding for as long as you're ignoring a key aspect of gameplay.

[upbeat swan]

kinda agree! you may have convinced me to just start over! ive got a basic understanding of gameplay now, i hope hah

[quasi latch]

Well, since you can carry basically anything without penalty, you probably won't need a coastal base for metal processing since you can just carry stuff. Mountains could house the base, but it will be cold and that's probably not ideal. Swamp is overall a very hostile biome for the player, but I've heard that some people have made cool little outposts in the indestructible trees. That leaves forest and meadows, unless you want to wait for one of the later biomes.

[quasi latch]

You're about to hit parts of the progression where one of the main challenges will be item weight

[upbeat swan]

wanna slightly give me a hint so i wont be puzzled when i hit it in my fresh world?

[manic copper]

Anyone on a dedicated server they want people to join? Just looking around for people to play with

[quasi latch]

We can't force how you like to play the game, but be warned that eliminating carrying capacity will build some very bad habits.

[quasi latch]

Like, needing to transport multiple items 100% necessary for progression that weigh 2/3 of your default carrying capacity apiece.

[gray sand]

Tips on inventory management:
Treat it like your IRL day, take what you need for the day.

Scout areas with nothing but your weapon and hammer.
When you need wood, take your axe (unless that is your weapon in which case you always have it).
When you need ore, take your pickaxe.
Otherwise, you can leave both at home.
Food? Early on take 3 of each so by the end of your day you're out and you gain the 3 slots back. When you get longer-lasting foods take only 2 and then down to where you take none because you just eat when you wake up and then the 30 minute timer on your screen tells you when to be home.

[gray sand]

Boat.

[quasi latch]

and/or cart

Heck, mining for ore is going to be a little more complicated than you realize when you turn carrying capacity and inv slots back to default.

[upbeat swan]

not considered 'cheating' for texture packs right? something a little more 'hd'

[gray sand]

It's a single-player game.
No one cares if you cheat.

[quasi latch]

That's not cheating at all, that's just making the game more pretty

[gray sand]

That is subjective AF.

[gray sand]

Depends on their world modifiers.
Ore portaling is completely valid.

[quasi latch]

Yeah, I personally wouldn't go for it either

[gray sand]

Yet you are the one who declared it "prettier"

[quasi latch]

I personally also like the challenge of not being able to portal ore, but that's just me

[gray sand]

I don't think it should be able to be portalled at all.
But then they added the 🤬 ing Stone Portal because screw years of them saying that certain things shouldn't be portalled.... they contradicted their own design 🤷‍♂️

[quasi latch]

Prettier for Beyond specifically, I guess I should clarify.

[gray sand]

What is "Beyond"?

[quasi latch]

BeyondAgameR

[upbeat swan]

me?

[vocal rivet]

Not this again. Things still can't be portalled until you reach the penultimate bio,e.

[upbeat swan]

fook it im going compleatly vanilla! no mods not even graphics! wish me luck!

[gray sand]

Welcome to the family 💛

[upbeat swan]

❤️

tbh i need a game i can play for 1000's hours and still feel i can progress hopefully now i will 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Best way to play the game.

[upbeat swan]

and ill bump it up to 'normal' dificulty rather than the easy i had before haha

[gray sand]

Extremely Hard.
Feel the pain 😏

[upbeat swan]

i still die on easy ...

one step at a time haha

[void turtle]

What should I be doing in the plains first?

[merry pebble]

Exploring 😉

[pliant hatch]

Find barley and flax

And the second thing you should do in plains, is running for your life when you hear "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt" 😄

[merry pebble]

Doesen matter what you are doing, just smash Shift + W and hold it 😄

[quasi latch]

"It only has 10 HP, surely they can't be THAT bad!"

[lusty dirge]

Running is not necessarily the best strategy though

[gray sand]

Running?
You mean timing your front kicks like a boss? 😏

[merry pebble]

For someone who desent have prior experience with them, probably is 😄

Or holding block

[lusty dirge]

Aren't they faster than the player? (unless maybe with the fenris set)

[merry pebble]

They are, but if you are running directly from them then they will attack but it will not land 🙂

[lusty dirge]

Yeah, but at some point you will run out of stamina

[merry pebble]

Indeed, but the initial running away may give you a little bit of a breather so you can figure something out 😄

[gray sand]

Just slow down so they can get close to you and start sprinting when they slow down and they miss every time.

[merry pebble]

Also an option 🙂

[gray sand]

Or just frontkick them and they die.

[pliant hatch]

It's likely the first encounter will happen while moving into the Plains from another biome.
When that happens, going back as if death was on your tail may help you, as you got other creatures to distract "death".

[lusty dirge]

Blocking works well too. Most important thing is to constantly watch out for them. They are really dangerous if they catch you by surprise

And running entails the risk of attracting more

[void turtle]

I worry that I’ll have to make a farm for that

[merry pebble]

You will 🙂

[void turtle]

Good thing theres a fuling camp attached to my swamp

[craggy epoch]

hi~

quick question! are there any fist weapons earlier than mountain?

[void turtle]

Why the wavy line?

[craggy epoch]

coz it's more aesthetic than spamming i in hiiiiiii

[merry pebble]

To read it with a bit longer "i" i believe 🙂

[void turtle]

A sexy hi

[craggy epoch]

exactly? i think?

[merry pebble]

Pretty much xD tho i've never seen it described like that

[craggy epoch]

anyway, back to question. i like playing brawlers but having to wait till mountain for fist weapons is kinda... meh. so i'd like to know if there are any earlier ones (except the cup)

[vocal rivet]

You could just do away with the spamming completely.

[void turtle]

Fucking about with Character ai taught me to believe that the wavy line means horny

[craggy epoch]

please, no ai

[vocal rivet]

And THAT is not a topic for this server.

[merry pebble]

Nope, the flesh rippers are currently the only fist weapon 🙂

[void turtle]

Noted

[craggy epoch]

so... i have to wait a long time to get them, and some time after getting them, they're gonna be too weak for the content?

[merry pebble]

Pretty much, that is how progression works

[craggy epoch]

they're perfectly in the middle ;-;

[nocturne wolf]

Their backstab secondary deals more stagger than anything else (I think), up to 2,592 at level 4

[craggy epoch]

also not only fist weapon, there is that cup you can use but it's super weak

[vocal rivet]

A cup is not a weapon.

[craggy epoch]

tankard is not a weapon?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it lets you drink mead slowly

[vocal rivet]

It's also not a cup...

[void turtle]

A man’s cup

[craggy epoch]

chad cup

[merry pebble]

That is a different kind of vessel 😉

[void turtle]

My strategy with fuling camps is run in, grab flax, skedaddle

How do you even do them normally?

[shy marlin]

Surgically

[nocturne wolf]

I use a bow to get the attention of a small group, then use a melee weapon to kill them.

[void turtle]

They all just swarm me, and I’ve just entered the plains

[shy marlin]

you need to get familiar with how much noise you are making

[nocturne wolf]

That’s what the bow is for. They can’t all swarm you if they haven’t all seen you.

[void turtle]

Should I get the black metal atgeir or level up my Frostner?

[unkempt rampart]

What is the mexium level of the workbench?

[shy marlin]

5

[heady parcel]

Also there is one bow that is a little less noisy than the others, making it the top choice to pick gobbos out in their villages without attracting too much attention

[gray sand]

"Top choice"? 🤔

[merry pebble]

For shootting them without rest aggroing 🙂

[shy marlin]

huntsman bow kinda goated for fuling villages ngl yea

[gray sand]

That can also just be a matter of distance.
If you're truly sniping from downtown they can't aggro to you because you're out of their detection radius bubble.

[tepid prawn]

it is the goat for sniping, I even get seekers with it, use first shot or shots with huntsmen to get those to come closer, and when they have left their friends behind you change to a higher dps bow (works well with fuling villages and also in mistlands, also with lox etc)

[gray sand]

Does the Huntsman have the ability to one-shot the Fulings?

[shy marlin]

yes

[gray sand]

Interesting.

[tepid prawn]

Also it looks beautiful

[shy marlin]

it's also the first bow to shoot straight

[gray sand]

Beauty is in the eye of the mead-holder.

[merry pebble]

And after enough mead lots of stuff looks beautifull 😄

[gray sand]

Crude Bow not accurate enough for you?
Scale issue 😏

[tepid prawn]

Its conventially beautiful 😛

[shy marlin]

that moment when spears are a better ranged weapon than the crude bow 😏

[tepid prawn]

It took me seriously long to git gud with that bow

[gray sand]

Deep North needs magic spear with auto-return enchantment 🙏

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing to do with scale, it’s rng

[tepid prawn]

I do have a scale issue using spears

[gray sand]

Fine, if we are doing ♻️
Deep North needs to actually balance swords by reverting the MTP.

[void turtle]

I need to know, should I get a black metal atgeir or max out my Frostner?

[tepid prawn]

I love the MTP being missing 🙂

[shy marlin]

Whichever weapon you like more

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and our opinions on the matter are meaningless.

[shy marlin]

me personally i'd go for blackmetal atgeir

[merry pebble]

As Scales said, depends on your prefference, both are great 🙂

[tepid prawn]

also I NEED to have 1 of each WEAPON in DN, gimme gimme gimme

[nocturne wolf]

So you can get hit by those seekers

[heady parcel]

So do I - but it sorely needs to go missing from the Krom as well!

[tepid prawn]

both of course!

[gray sand]

It should be missing from Krom and Slayer, it should be present on all other swords.

[shy marlin]

mods this guy right here 🚓

[heady parcel]

And if I have to choose, the Krom having no mtp would make more sense than the 1h sword

[nocturne wolf]

I think all swords shouldn’t have it

[void turtle]

Atgeir it is, then I’ll switch to himminafl or krom, then the flametal sword

[gray sand]

Cuz that's game balance right there... Make swords the uncontested best melee weapon....

[shy marlin]

uh atgeir?

[tepid prawn]

fair, Krom is still great, I always tell this story where I killed a 2 star seeker with a level 1 krom, naked! (all my armours where in that mine)

[gray sand]

uh Berserkir Axes?

[heady parcel]

It is not completely illogical with all swords - I'd settle for a lesser mtp on the onehanders 😄

[shy marlin]

kinda garbo ngl that's my hot take

[gray sand]

You shut your naked, hungry, no-mead mouth.

[tepid prawn]

Primal Axes is one of my fav weapons

[gray sand]

Putting Green on a melee weapon 😭

[nocturne wolf]

This needs to include the fishing rod. It does damage but there’s no upgrades throughout the game. Why did this weapon class go abandoned

[tepid prawn]

yes and then Fader is rooted!

[gray sand]

Bosses not having CC immunity 😭

[shy marlin]

bosses shouldn't be able to be rooted

[void turtle]

Atgeir is awesome and the only reason I didn’t use it was so I’d have good mace skill for bonemass, if I ever play valheim multiplayer I’m maining atgeir

I hope the deep north has an atgeir

[gray sand]

Just use the Atgeir on Bonemass?

[merry pebble]

Or have substantialy lower chance to get rooted

[shy marlin]

yea like 0.00000001% chance 😏

[gray sand]

Or have CC immunity like they do in every game ever made?

[void turtle]

Bonemass is weak to blunt, and I was very scared of losing

[heady parcel]

Goodness, met my first ||morgen|| and got absurdly lucky. A starred dvergr rogue kept it busy so I could pepper it with arrows from safety

[merry pebble]

Maybe a little too substantial difference xD

[void turtle]

I can’t wait to fight one of them

[nocturne wolf]

It could be a weaker effect, reducing move/turnspeed instead of preventing all movement

[gray sand]

He is zero-damage fight?
And you would have gained at least 5 more levels in atgeir 😭

[void turtle]

Wdym zero damage?

[tepid prawn]

they are resistant to pierce though haha I would recommend a different weapon or use elemental arrows if you need to

[void turtle]

He was a lot easier than I expected

[heady parcel]

Came home from an excursion and it was walking around the perimiter of my outpost, then suddenly it rushed off in the opposite direction and started fighting, so all I had to do was pumping arrows at it. (Frost arrows yeah)

[gray sand]

Raised Hand = Swipe. Roll into him.
Both Hands on Belly = Poison Vomit, either backroll twice or turn around and sprint for 2s.
Hand in Armpit = Adds spawn, turn around, run in direction he is face. One shot when they land with Iron Mace or Sledge.

He is a literal zero-damage fight.

[shy marlin]

All bosses are a zero damage fight 😏

[gray sand]

He is the easiest to take no damage in imo.

[merry pebble]

Oh you shu-
-# but you are correct xD

[heady parcel]

Dunno, Yag is pretty hard to get near without taking damage. Taking it out with just arrows must take an eternity

[gray sand]

Sometimes Eikthyr's antlers twitch for a frame or 2 and you take the occasional mis-timed hit.

[tepid prawn]

I'd say Eik and Elder are exactly the same or even easier to 0 dmg them

[shy marlin]

Elder gotta be easier

[gray sand]

Bonemass is just pathetically easy to read.

[gray sand]

Occasional bad root spawn will hit sometimes.

[shy marlin]

so u just run

[tepid prawn]

Elder in melee range is 2nd tutorial boss

[void turtle]

I just looked at Yagluth’s weaknesses and now I’m even more unsure of what to get

[tepid prawn]

Silver sword is freaking amazing for him

[gray sand]

I know this.
I am rating Bonemass the easiest because he has no "occasionally" hiccups like the other 2 listed ones do.

[void turtle]

What about Frostner?

[merry pebble]

The best 😉

[gray sand]

Sword better.

[nocturne wolf]

Use frostner or silver sword

[heady parcel]

Haha spinesnap's durability at 75% after that morgen

[merry pebble]

2nd best 😄

[void turtle]

Fuck it, I’m getting both weapons I want

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker is good for morgens

[tepid prawn]

yeah frostner works well too, and yeah sword is goat for it

[gray sand]

Frostner 🤢

[heady parcel]

It looked scary, I didn't want to go close...

[tepid prawn]

I haven't made Frostner for like 10+ play throughs now haha

[merry pebble]

It is a good weapon 😄 that we dont use it since knockback sucks is irrelevant

[nocturne wolf]

Their melee attacks aren’t too bad. When they swipe, jump to the side and get a few free hits.

[gray sand]

The reasons we don't use it are what makes it not a good weapon. @merry pebble

[tepid prawn]

yeah that knockback is great if you want to use it, but not being able to turn if off is meh

[gray sand]

megapunt should be only on the secondary attack.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I hate that you can never land a full combo because the mobs go flying

[tepid prawn]

thats my main reason not to use it

[merry pebble]

For us 😉

[gray sand]

That's why I can accurately say "I would mod before I would use Frostner" 😏
Because that is probably the only mod I would consider.

[heady parcel]

Gods, I'm burning through arrows fast here. Always been mostly melee focused, but these mobs scare me, taking them out from afar if I can. Got into a melee tussle with a one star warrior and thought I'd stagger him with my combo after parrying. Nope, it hurt. Bit of a scare there.

Using mistwalker, still haven't found any metal. 😦

[gray sand]

Using arrows against targets that almost all have Pierce Resist is part of why you're burning through them. 😬

[nocturne wolf]

Actually using your melee weapons is the fastest way to make them not scare you any more

[silent oriole]

so we have the scythe now to harvest much faster. is there also anything to plant faster, or the plow the only thing?

[gray sand]

We have a plow?

[merry pebble]

You mean cultivator?

[gray sand]

Danger link is dangerous.

[merry pebble]

Yep, cultivator

[wintry valve]

Sometime I wish we had a better cultivator tool that only planted something if the seed had room to grow

[silent oriole]

ye, cultivator. my game isn't english. so well, planting 450 onions 1 by 1 is annoying

[vocal rivet]

Then plant fewer. You don't need 450

[gray sand]

Making too much sense Derek.

[merry pebble]

Thats why you usually dont need to plant that much 😄 and if you do you have a lots of time before you need to plant them again

[vocal rivet]

My one flaw.

[merry pebble]

A good one to have tho 😄

[gray sand]

Depends on whom you ask 😉 Other people who are no longer allowed to speak seem to think you have many 😂

[silent oriole]

i do need that many 🤷🏻‍♂️

[gray sand]

You're confusing "need" with "want."

[gray cairn]

Is there another hoe besides the stone one?

[gray sand]

No.

[still crow]

Uh, I need massive gardens everywhere.

[gray sand]

You are also confusing terms.

[gray cairn]

Oh well

[still crow]

Gotta counteract the depression haha

[silent oriole]

no, the onion consumption is that high

[gray sand]

Unless you're eating-barfing-eating continuously on a loop, there is no way you need 450 onions every 3 days.

[azure yacht]

Then you can't really complain. it's your choice to do it

[gray sand]

Raise Ground is how you counteract depressions 😏

[gray cairn]

I feel ya. Keep trying, you'll get it! 💪

Patience is key with every build

[silent oriole]

i mean i like the philosophical conversation about my ingame needs, but the question remained unanswered. seems there is no better cultivator.

[gray cairn]

No, I don't think there is.

[azure yacht]

There isn't. And probably there will not be, as there is no need for one

[royal seal]

is there a way to reduce the smoke puffs that happen when I place or break objects? Normally it's fine but not being able to see where exactly I'm planting my onions is slowing an already tedious process down a LOT

[gleaming bridge]

will the bog witch icon pop up on my minimap like traders do? i know for the other traders i was a bit further away from them unexplored and they are marked on the map, is it same for the bog witch?

[royal seal]

Yes, same distance

[gleaming bridge]

thank you

[merry pebble]

TIL that bees have a phrase "The bees don't like this biome".

[gray sand]

Ashlands or Swamp?

[merry pebble]

Ocean 😉

[gray sand]

[silent oriole]

makes them salty

[shy marlin]

wait how do you place a beehive in the ocean 🤔

[merry pebble]

I was messing with locations, and found ||DevGarden|| 😄

Also, consequently, found a way to make insanely large flat areas 😄

[silent oriole]

pillars

[static dune]

I can't log into my friends' servers anymore always gives connection failure Does anyone know how to solve ?

[light moat]

Ocean pillars? 🤔

[nimble moss]

probably VPN issues or disable crossplay

[nimble moss]

Mistlands + Mountains + Deep North too

[tepid prawn]

oh mistlands too thats sad

[gleaming bridge]

what would be the best weapon against loxes?

i am just about to enter plains

[nimble moss]

Bow 🙂

[royal seal]

is there a way to use both magic and weaponry? Or, rather, is magic still good without the eitr robes?

[royal seal]

Draugr Fang if you have it, ideally with needle arrows (which you'll get pretty quickly once you start killing mosquitos). Get Porcupine when you can though, it's the best weapon against loxen

[gleaming bridge]

noted

[timid cloak]

Yo anyone wanna play? Im newish i played on console awhile ago

[tepid prawn]

This is a question for me, love it! In the 7th biome it is currently my favourite playstyle but works well in the Mistlands as well, I generally use 1 Stamina 1 Health and 1 Eitr food, Heavy Armour no mage robes, and the weapons can make several ones work, what biome you in still Mistlands?

You can also take feasts instead of some of the food but I currently run HSE food for it, especially when I haven't unlocked the last 2 feasts yet.

[tepid prawn]

#1024264966712340510 is best place to look, can make a post or look for a server in or near your location and timezone where you are

[mortal oriole]

Are you using the Plant Everything Mod? That will let you plant larger grids of items once configured

[royal seal]

yup, early-ish Mistlands. I have a level 3 Galdr and level 1 Black Forge, a Mistwalker sword, Spinesnap, feather cape, and carapace shield and helm if that offers any insight.

bruh I just got the scariest experience of my life. I'm building my Galdr magic workshop and listening to music when a fucking greydwarf brute just walks through me from behind and right into my face.

[mortal oriole]

Your base...needs work.

[royal seal]

I- it's safe I swear 😭

[mortal oriole]

Hehe. I am trying to build a secure base in the mistlands, but it is triggering Gjall raids. I need the shield generator, many ballistas. Walls don't stop seekers and ticks, they just pile over.

[royal seal]

I just don't like how trenches and big all-encompassing walls look. To be clear this is my by-the-altar Meadows base

I plan on making a small-ish Mistlands farm by the same spot where I farm sap and call it a day; I already have a Plains base I put more effort into than I'd like to admit that functions as my farm for everything else and is guarded by a pretty big herd of loxen.

[mortal oriole]

Reply, sounds great!

[royal seal]

it does help a lot that I turned the portal slider all the way down so I don't need to have multiple bases for different metals, etc. of course

[frank elbow]

yo anyone down to play i havent played much before but i get the jist

[mortal oriole]

We are on a modded server if you want to try that.

[tepid prawn]

You can use mistwalker and carapace shield and also armour, keep bow too, and also use staff of protection and staff of embers, is what I would do with the aforementioned food combo to try out being a heavily armoured combat mage

[frank elbow]

no thanks for the offer tho

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[royal seal]

I might give that a try once I find more soft tissue, then. I should also mention that I also wear Fenris pants to mitigate the speed loss from the chestplate and the lack of strong pants has been making my life mildly inconvenient.

[mortal oriole]

I was told to wear the Root Harnesk Chest piece in the Mistlands, it has Pierce resistance that is needed for Seekers
