[gray sand]

And what if someone else told you to not wear armor at all in the Mistlands?

[royal seal]

I can see that actually, but the 32 armour that my padded cuirass gives me, and whatever the carapace breastplate will when I get it, is more useful to me than resistance

besides, it makes for a really good scarecrow :p

[nimble moss]

The root harness reduces more damage than the +20 armor on the vast majority of attacks - especially when you factor in Ticks etc as well.

[gray sand]

It reduces more damage only vs. Pierce *

[nimble moss]

which is the vast majortiy of damage you will receive

so mathematically it will statistically reduce more damage overall than the +20 armor

[gray sand]

5/16 attacks == vast majority

👍

[nimble moss]

you need to weight that number by what you'll actually encounter, with seekers + ticks been the vast amount

Gjalls and Soldiers are rare etc

[gray sand]

Sorry, I'm still stuck on the phrasing "mathematically you will statistically" being overloaded.

[nimble moss]

yeah - when you balance the number of mobs spawned

so if you get 10x seekers and 1x solider - piece resistance is what you want

and with the Infested mines having 20+ ticks - that's alot of piece damage coming at you

I'm not very good at Valheim - but that's how I play it.... /shrug.

[gray sand]

Play how you wish to play, as always.

Is Root very good? Yes.
Is Padded bad? No.

[nimble moss]

agreed

[gray sand]

<Pirates of the Caribbean "Agreed" gif goes here>

[tepid prawn]

Also agree, wearing padded rn, but will I wear root chest for Fader? BET

[gray sand]

Carapace is probably my favorite looking armor tbh.

It is the armor that started me down my no-cape path.

[gray sand]

What is the name of the item he dropped?

Bingo.

Still confused as to what is next?

Do you need one?

Given the name of the item is Swamp key?

[royal seal]

I personally love the wolf armour. The cape and helmet especially.

Swamp key opens up the crypts.

[gray sand]

So you went to a Swamp where you encountered nothing that needed to be unlocked...

What is the point of killing Eikthyr when the Black Forest already accessible?

[royal seal]

Valheim’s progression, except for Moder and the Queen (afaik), is very interesting in that technically you can skip every boss if you want.

[gray sand]

People have beaten the game in reverse boss order.

[royal seal]

Actually I don’t even know if Moder is that necessary.

[unkempt rampart]

Man, its so hard to find the turnips in the swamps

[gray sand]

Only when you are looking for them.

When you don't need them anymore they are everywhere.

[lethal halo]

dose pressing f5 then typing "find turnip" work the same way as finding crypts?

[gray sand]

If you have console enabled, why would you not just type spawn Turnip at that point?

[lethal halo]

not true for my server. everything but that is disabled

it seems anyways

[gray sand]

How do you disable part of console when it is one of those things that either is enabled or is not?

[lethal halo]

ask the owner

mod ig

azuanticheat mod or whatever its called maybe? idk

[gray sand]

Mods 🤢

[lethal halo]

yeah. a modded server

u on xbox?

[gray sand]

?

[lethal halo]

xbox = no mods

van only

we have dragons and stuff

[gray sand]

Which affects my general hatred of mods in what way?

[lethal halo]

u always so pleasant?

imma go ride my dragon. peace

[gray sand]

I am neutral.
Any interpretation of unpleasantness is on your end.

I am confused as to how whether I play on PC or not relates to an opinion I shared 🤷‍♂️

[nimble moss]

neither is Queen - you can kill Fader as first boss if you want (Scales and Henrik have done it - I'm sure others have too)

[cinder sun]

what is the difference in hammer mode and no build cost mode?

[gray sand]

Like the world slider vs. the console command?

[cinder sun]

they are both listed in the world modifiers page. one is a preset, the other is a checkbox

[gray sand]

Hmm, then I don't know.
iirc the slider options make it so building is free but you get nothing on deconstructions, where the console command makes building free but you also get free mats when unbuilding.

[gray sand]

It might be about stamina usage?
Hammer mode costing nothing and No Build Cost still requiring it?

[merry pebble]

Both are very similar 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World Modifiers

[rain flare]

Hammer mode doesn’t require resources to build anything

You just have to have found the required items before to unlock the build item’s recipe

[merry pebble]

And while destroying stuff built even without Hammer mode you don't get your stuff back, you should get it back with the no build cost modifier

[heady parcel]

I love that these options exist but I make sure to not mix them in with my regular game. I made a separate build-testing-world with a Bob-the-Builder character to go with it. Sometimes when I'm about to build something big I do a few test builds on there to see if my ideas work at all, to be more efficient when I actually do build in the "real" world.

[wary bane]

I wonder how many of us have a cheat builder character called Bob the Builder and thought we were being terribly funny and original. (me included)

[gray sand]

I have Sevrahn, who gets deleted and remade with every major update fresh run.

And I have TestRahn for... testing.

🤷‍♂️

[wary bane]

I think i've used up every generic and/or famous viking name I can think of for my characters by now, between restarts following an update, starting new mp realms, various test characters and just general restarts to try out a different build i've probably rolled 50+ characters each with a unique name.

[rain flare]

Mmmmmm…
Nah, it’s just my main character

I’ve made about 20 odd different characters to experiment with play styles or just dress up in different armor set combinations 😂

Most of the building is on my main though

[wary bane]

My current character is the first to make it deep into ashlands content (still got to kill Fader), so congratulations to Lagertha, my most successful Viking!

[tired geyser]

Can’t sleep

[wary bane]

[wary bane]

Greetings from the future!

[tired geyser]

I might hop back on

Valheim

[wary bane]

dewit, the greydwarfs in your realm are sad they have no-one to throw rocks at

[tired geyser]

they can never touch me 🙈

[gray sand]

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.

[obtuse wigeon]

I just want a finished Valheim.

[gray sand]

It is being worked on.

[obtuse wigeon]

Can't wait.

[gray sand]

But you will, so inherently you can.
😉

[obtuse wigeon]

I will on the edge of my recliner.

I'll finish off KCD1 while I wait.

[gray sand]

And 2. Second one is great.

[obtuse wigeon]

Haven't finished the first so I'll do that first.

[gray sand]

Valid.

[obtuse wigeon]

Just bought a new horse Pebbles was a good horse .

[gray sand]

I sprint everywhere until skills trained 😄

[obtuse wigeon]

I play on Hardcore.

[gray sand]

Same. What were your 2 quirks?

Also we should move to #general

[obtuse wigeon]

Don't remember will have to look but need to work in 9 minutes.

[gray sand]

[grand prairie]

Hii) Can you please tell me when the update with the new biome will be released? If I happen to come across this biome, will I need to recreate the world for everything to work?

[merry pebble]

We dont know when it will come, and it Is all the way in North of the map so you can avoid it quite easily 🙂 + even if you did come across a little bit of it then you should be ok.

[grand prairie]

Got it, thanks.

[cedar swan]

Whenever I open discord with valheim the sound of the game feels like it's more bass boosted and low quality how to fix it

[fervent robin]

Do I need more than one dragon egg to summon Moder?

I just found her location.

[cedar swan]

you need 3 maybe

[gray sand]

3 exactly

[fervent robin]

Got it

[wary bane]

Carrots dont drop at all, you get them from growing them from seeds you find from carrot plants in black forest

you then replant carrot to grow seed plant

[gray sand]

Carrots drop Carrots.
Seed Carrots drop Seeds.

Seed = Carrot = 3 Seeds

[tacit crystal]

You need to plant carrots to get seeds, 3 seeds per seed carrot planted.

[wary bane]

replant twelve carrots to get more seeds

good luck in the swamp btw

[gray sand]

Is best to choose final amount you want to always harvest as a 2/3 number.

So like, if you want to always harvest 12, get to where you are planting 18 every time.
Because then you can keep 12 and replant the 6 to make 18 more every cycle.

Have you killed Elder?

[wary bane]

i just keep replanting till i have a huge surplus and massive fields

[tacit crystal]

Which weapons you use? You should be good with any bronze weapon against draugr tbh.

[gray sand]

Correct.

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir. Secondary attack of it is very good as it staggers them easily.

[gray sand]

That is more than adequate to destroy Draugr.

Food is the most important stat.

[tacit crystal]

You seem to be well geared. But take some time to see their attack patterns and they become easier to deal with.

Middle mouse button.

Try it and you will see.

[gray sand]

If you had said MMB that would have rhymed 😭

[tacit crystal]

Fyi, almost every weapon has their own secondary attacks depending on their category. For example, spear secondary attack is a throw.

Yes. It can be picked where it lands.

Let's say one of my favorite weapon types is spear for several reasons. Spear and shield are good combo.

[wary bane]

Can be rather annoying in the mountains when you throw it off a cliff by accident

[tacit crystal]

Good point, using the throw needs some caution of your surroundings.

But it's very effective when mastered.

Depends. Throwing is faster than drawing a bow on low skill levels. Throw gets 1,5x damage multiplier too.

Also, just to note that all spears float on water.

Bows get significally faster when you have higher skill level, it's one of the skills in game where the level number matters more.

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

You cannot plant the bushes, no.

[heady parcel]

Throwing spears is what gets you them deer early on!

Yes

[gray sand]

Raspberries, Blueberries, Red Mushrooms, Yellow Mushrooms, and Thistle all have to be foraged.

[heady parcel]

But they are pretty common. Mark clusters on your map, then make forage runs when you need to.

[gray sand]

I mark clusters only when there are 5+ bushes.

[heady parcel]

Yeah same

[humble moss]

Hello, can i ask for some spare items/weapons/gears 🥹

[azure yacht]

devcommands > spawn

[humble moss]

Doesn’t that ruin the achievement setting?

[gray sand]

Would matter if this game had achievements.

[humble moss]

It doesn’t? Ohhhh

Thanks🥹

[cedar swan]

Is level 1 silver armour enough for plains?

[merry pebble]

It would be better if you had lvl3 or 4, but you can still survive there with it 🙂 (you will probably not have a good time tho)

[silent oriole]

i dont use mods, but that was what i was referring to

[near furnace]

yes

[rain flare]

Yeah it is more than enough, but you have to play carefully

Lvl 4 silver armor is basically the same protection lvl as lvl 1 plains gear

[royal seal]

Don’t you need the Queen’s drops to access the Ashlands?

[near furnace]

yes

unless you cheeze

[merry pebble]

It makes it a LOT easier/simpler if you do have them and it is the intended way, but strictly speaking no, you can get there without them.

[royal seal]

Huh, interesting

[nimble moss]

it was designed that way - but the reality is there are a number of different ways to cross, and depending on your map some are easier than others

[near furnace]

there can be one thing done by us devs. and all ways are basicly closed

and I think I would like for that 🤔

[rain flare]

Well yes, but actually no.

[rain flare]

Oh no… 👀👀👀😅

[near furnace]

it's the same as...
can you get into swamp crypts without the swamp key?

yes but it's cheezing a chair

[rain flare]

Smiffe admits to being a dev!
Self report confirmed! 😂🥰

[near furnace]

oh is it a crime?

[nimble moss]

one thing?

[rain flare]

Mysterious force blocks you activate! 😂

[rain flare]

Noooooooo… 🤭

[near furnace]

or remove the build-ability

[nimble moss]

dont technically need to get into swamp crypts though for bonemass or iron

[near furnace]

no but build a chair infront of the door. trick

[rain flare]

Yeeeees…
But Odin’s beard is it annoying! 😂

[nimble moss]

there are 5 different ways across 🙂

But building is the easiest

[nimble moss]

yeah - we consider that a glitch in the speedrun community and dont allow it on the normal runs - but yes, that is also an option

[near furnace]

well. high-speed boating by luck I don't count 😄

[nimble moss]

you can fly across, swim across, cart across, build across and boat across

[near furnace]

if we just make it do more damage, all ways should also be prevented

[nimble moss]

nah - sorry

[near furnace]

fly as in catapult?

[nimble moss]

fly as in flying animals on their backs then use feather cape and float across

[near furnace]

god

if you want to do that

[nimble moss]

or use wolves and stand on their backs

[near furnace]

then you're on your own

[nimble moss]

or use a cart and run it across.

[near furnace]

whatever you choose to do. you're just cheating your own game

[nimble moss]

speedrunning*

[rain flare]

The levels this community will go to for improper game progression 🤭🤭🤭

[nimble moss]

in normal casual play I dont go across until Queen dead

I follow the order in casual play; I agree cheesing it is the edge case, not the intention

[near furnace]

I know people even finished reverse boss order still

[nimble moss]

but for speedrunning - all bets are off 🙂

[near furnace]

yeah. no point in making speedrunning not fun

[wary bane]

some sequence breaking is imo good, like I love getting 2 iron from Oozers to start building with stone asap

[nimble moss]

we found a recently unknown mechanic that makes Ashlands about 25 times easier - this whole time - just pull out a torch and you are immune to vultures.... 🙂

not a bug either - it seems they are just scared of fire

and no one noticed

[wary bane]

in.. the... ashlands?

huh

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/ive-waited-so-long-for-this-moment-dave-crosby-claire-and-the-crosbys-its-finally-here-cant-wait-for-this-gif-21547963

[nimble moss]

well - they are still birds with feathers - so not suprising they wouldnt want their feathers to catch on fire... so it represents real life as Smiffe likes to point ouit

[near furnace]

@vocal rivet you taking notes?

[nimble moss]

haha - I found it totally by accident when doing "low tech" stuff in Ashlands as part of my speedrun tests - I've been holding onto it for 2-3 months while I managed to eventually get a world record run in the other week

[near furnace]

😉

[nimble moss]

so I hold the title currently (although probably not for long) - and this was one of about 3-4 new mechanics I found

[merry pebble]

I do, already at the wiki page 😄

[near furnace]

nice

now I pinged my favourite englishperson unnessessary

[merry pebble]

Just need to check how is "scared of fire" incorporated to other pages 🙂

[nimble moss]

it changes Ashlands so much- cant believe it was in front of us for so long

[near furnace]

plenty of things not found yet

[nimble moss]

Greydwarves are the only other relevant one

[near furnace]

their dance is amazing

[nimble moss]

or not publically disclosed by some of us 🙂

[merry pebble]

+greylings boars and necks

[rain flare]

Vultures, or grey dwarves? 😂

[compact barn]

ey, if u ever get tired of swinging the axe, there's always Dundr's collision physics as a more techy alternative to lumbering :') https://streamable.com/psviiw

[silent oriole]

i want lightsources that need no fuel and are lighty

[compact barn]

dverg lanterns

[silent oriole]

nah

those barely give any light.

[compact barn]

it's the best you'll get for no fuel source

but i share your concern and would like to see a better source of sustained light as well

if u add enough it glows

[rain flare]

Wisp light

[compact barn]

oof, no

[rain flare]

Wisp light blue - dverger lantern yellow

Very low light, but infinite with no fuel requirements

[restive gull]

why though? Why would you like a sustained light ? 👀 📝

[compact barn]

wisp light bad, dverg lantern cosy

[compact barn]

so i dont have to spend my days pouring resin/coal/wood onto the thing all the time?
imagine that

[mortal oriole]

There is a mod for that, many mods actually

[compact barn]

right

[restive gull]

well said

[rain flare]

Wisp light 💙

[silent oriole]

don't want to mod game 🤷🏻‍♂️

[compact barn]

you're missing out. mods can really help elevate the game experience to the next level

im never going to play vanilla again

[silent oriole]

ok. i still don't want to 😂

[rain flare]

And you do NOT have to change the game that much with mods

[compact barn]

your loss

[rain flare]

The one I miss the most is a cute barrel mod that gives you special containers for each type of crop

[compact barn]

being stubborn for no reason is kinda cringe , but thats also your perogative

[rain flare]

Sometimes modding the game removes the very thing that made the person like it

[silent oriole]

it's not stubborness. i just don't want mods where i don't need it.
and people saying: but just do it, do it, not doing it is cringe are cringe 😂

[rain flare]

Hence why I don’t want a complete overhaul in the game mechanics

[compact barn]

sry, im not wasting my time arguing this

you do what you want, including being ignorant

[silent oriole]

there is no argument my dude. you just act like i insulted you because i play my game my way calling me stubborn or ignorant. that's just weird, sorry 😂

[rain flare]

You are rude.
Goodbye! 😂

[silent oriole]

lmao. dude blocked me. that is ignorant

[rain flare]

No skin off your nose

[silent oriole]

yeah, better off when these people do that first.

[rain flare]

What I don’t understand from people like that is an almost angry insistence that you cannot play the game without mods 🤦‍♂️

It’s like it is a personal insult to them cause they want to mod the game

Can’t we just skip the being insulted part and get to the “you do you”? 😂

[nimble moss]

Dverger headpieces (not lanterns) - placed on an item stand - provide loads of light

[rain flare]

That’s true!

[silent oriole]

hmmmmm. happen to have a screen?

[vestal ether]

Surtling trophies on mounts

[rain flare]

Dragon eggs, the elder key, and Samaramon’s favourite (fuling trophy) also give nice light

[silent oriole]

yeah but the light of those is dim

[vestal ether]

They make for good lighting that doesn't need to be refueled

Hey it's infinite lol

And once you make a surtling farm, they're pretty much unlimited

[nimble moss]

cant post screenshots here - just google "valheim dverger circlets item stand" for some examples. If you want more light - add more. They are directional - can do loads of cool stuff

[silent oriole]

yeah but i don't need farm y when i already have enough of x, and both are dim 😂

[vestal ether]

I mean, that's about the only options you've got besides modding

And I don't care to mod either

[silent oriole]

sap lamps it is 😂

[nimble moss]

also - whilst you dont want mods - if you are open to dev commands - "setfuel 10" and will auto fill all lights in your vacinity

[silent oriole]

or just have the house in darkness

[vestal ether]

Tbh, the console command idea is probably best

[silent oriole]

can i make a "setonion many" to fill my chests with some? 😂

[vestal ether]

I don't like using them but for little QoL things I kinda don't mind. Refueling lamps with sap is doodoo

[rain flare]

Have you found the bog witch? 👀

She has cute candles 🕯

[silent oriole]

yeah

[rain flare]

I you are going to settle for this 🤭

[silent oriole]

but candles are one time use

[rain flare]

No
They are infinite

Just have to replace the candle wick once completed 🥰

[silent oriole]

huh, i looked it up because that thought crossed my mind, but the wiki entry said: candles are gone once used up

[rain flare]

It does cost sap, and the sap burns up

But the candle wick that you buy from boggy is reusable 🤩🥳

[silent oriole]

wait so instead of refuelig torches i would refuel candles? 😂

[rain flare]

👆

If you don’t like the one, you can have the other 😂🤭

[silent oriole]

darkness it is then

time to log on and deal with the 2 star seeker 😐

[rain flare]

Good luck! 🔥

[silent oriole]

also, by the way, can i not do pc time shenanigans to enable yule tree craft and maypole?

[nimble moss]

my understanding is you can. but if you are single player and going to do that - might as well just dev command spawn it in and not change your clock

[silent oriole]

the worst thing about seekers is they kill you, and then act like the biggest n00b campers

i've been cheated, the seeker is 0 stars

[sleek siren]

Quick question. Porcupine or Frostner?

[merry pebble]

For what?

[azure yacht]

Weather and wind direction are completely dependent on day right?

Little to no RNG? And is it the exact same in ALL worlds?

[merry pebble]

Yep, it should be 🙂

Thats why http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1 works

[azure yacht]

That should make it easy to implement a way to figure all that out in-game

[silent oriole]

it is kinda weird that wind is predetermined

[heady parcel]

What's worse, they often bring buddies in to bully you even more

[sleek siren]

In general. I'm in the plains rn and i have lvl 4 Frostner, thinking about making Porcupine tho i don't know if it's worth it

[merry pebble]

Throughout plains porcupine might do more dmg, but frostner is one of the best weapons for plains boss and for mistlands 🙂

[heady parcel]

I have a slight suspicion that will change with 1.0. Can't imagine having a predetermined pattern is how they want it to be, but it works well enough while building actual content.

[sleek siren]

Yeah that's what I've heard as well but i didn't know if it's true cause the videos are pretty old. Thanks for the info tho 👍

[dim scroll]

yooo im from india looking for friends to play with my character reached ashlands

[dim scroll]

defeating queen was quite challenging but i did it

[heady parcel]

Randomising it yet having enough control over variables to not have the weather permanently stuck at storm or good weather in some worlds is harder than one might think. I've seen that first hand in a few games. I'd wager xbox DayZ players are still traumatised after it rained without pause for a month on every single server.

[rain flare]

Ai shame! 😂🤭🤦‍♂️

[azure yacht]

Don't really see nothing wrong with it being the same. Also, you can see it as all player's worlds being connected somehow and it is the same world of Valheim after all.

And it would make that tool device simpler to implement

[tacit crystal]

Depends on situation, both are good in plains. Against lox and growths Porcupine is better at dealing damage against them plus it staggers better, but slow effect of Frostner makes it better against fuling hordes in villages. Against plains boss Frostner is much better option too.

Frostner outshines Porcupine after plains tho.

[heady parcel]

I don't care either to be honest, it is not an easily recognisable pattern anyway, I have way too many hours in the game yet I still can't see a pattern to the weather. And I don't mind the weather really, it varies - that's enough for me. I just think it is a bit odd that in a game where so much is randomised the weather is the same everywhere and perfectly predictable.

[sleek siren]

Thanks for the info. Gonna make both and them use them as situation defies 👍

[true cosmos]

I did not know troll raids were possible until last night ☠️

[void turtle]

How many spawned?

[silent oriole]

if you really want to everything proof your base, raise ground walls.

[true cosmos]

4, one had a log lol

[void turtle]

Terrifying

[true cosmos]

maybe, but not the vibe we’re going for rn

[merry pebble]

Ale you playing with mods?

[silent oriole]

know what would be a cool mechanic? if starred enemies had their drops also colourized, and would produce differently coloured armors or weapons

[nocturne wolf]

So there's more unique items filling up your inventory?

[merry pebble]

Imo it would be better to have some sort of dye item than this

[true cosmos]

nope

[merry pebble]

Then did it happen near black forest?

[true cosmos]

our base is in meadows, not super close to Black Forest

[merry pebble]

Then that is very strange, since the raids spawn max 2 trolls at the time, ah, i forgot to ask, were all 4 at one time or did you kill one, another appeared and so on?

[cobalt canyon]

I feel like I've had more than 2 in a raid

At once, I mean

[pliant hatch]

If you want a safe base, either use a moat or settle on an island.
Use player made items to create a circle of spawn proofed areas around your base.
When done well the raid creatures are forced to spawn outside your circle and even outside the raid area.
Problem solved.

..... well with the exception of flying raids, but you could deal a lot easier with that.

[merry pebble]

Only if you are near black forest 🙂 raid will sapwn max 2 at one time

[fervent robin]

Moder is officially dead, people

She was actually a bit tankier than I expected from arrows, but I eventually discovered that just slashing her with my sword on the ground was worth it.

Aye, I found her the first mountain I searched for her.

[silent oriole]

quick one, can i have multiple passive stats meads at the same time?

[heady parcel]

Yes

[merry pebble]

Yep, you just cant have 2 types of same mead at once (like lingering stamina and medium stamina)

[whole hatch]

Hello, does anyone know who do I contact in order to offer assistance in translating the game?

[south canyon]

google translate?

[heady parcel]

They mean assisting with localisation to some language not included yet I think

[merry pebble]

Send email to [e-mail] 🙂

[whole hatch]

Cheers!

I wanna get another Yagluth trophy. Is Mistwalker good against him or is the spirit damage from the silver sword more valuable?

142dmg from silver sword lvl4, which lvl mistwalker do you have?

[royal seal]

1 currently

but I can upgrade to 2

[merry pebble]

that would be 115 dmg for lvl1 and 126 dmg for lvl2

so silver sword 🙂

then got bite by a miskoto and the ram blew up my portal and lost boat, i rage quit and started on new map.. same thing seems to be happening

[gleaming bridge]

@ember panther TY

[empty nest]

and i used "irongate" as seed...

[merry pebble]

What does it say when you try to use it?

[grave radish]

"spawn is not valid in current context"

[merry pebble]

Are you sure it is written correctly and there is no space, /, or anything like that before it? Also, did you type in devcommands first?

[grave radish]

🥲 no i did not type devcommands

[merry pebble]

Ah 😄 there we go

[grave radish]

that fixed it

[grave radish]

thank u😁

[merry pebble]

[near furnace]

cannot cheat without activate some kind of cheat command

[balmy seal]

I built a base over a dvergr tower but I get the dvergr tower music playing on an endless loop instead of the base music. Is that a bug or does that soundtrack just have priority in those areas?

[silent oriole]

This is obvious and not a concern in this case. The problem is that people can cheat items via world-hopping, because the games creation system invites to do so.
Now I don't know if it's within the devteams capabilities or interests to ever rework the savegame system to prioritize worlds and then create characters inside the worlds, but I doubt that.
A simple solution would be to assign a server ID to items, and make the game have a sanity check whether item X was created/looted on world ID Y, and then simply delete it if a player spawns in a world.

[gleaming bridge]

my first plains outpost right now, 30+ BM and 3 totems, 70 flax too

[near furnace]

we aren't going to change this

if someone wants to cheat, they will find a way

I've said it probably 100 times already

valheim is ment to be a co-op experience with friends

we want people to jump into each others worlds to help out, to go on a trip together and have fun, together

locking will just create other issues

[native lava]

There is a mod that you can have that only allows characters that were created for that server only. Once you log out it saves what you had in your inventory

[gleaming bridge]

its a pve game i couldnt care less if someone is muling on their world

[silent oriole]

idk how this mod would work on a local or dedicated server 🤷🏻‍♂️
if the game allows servers to have mods. but thats the easiest option

[near furnace]

game allows servers to be modded

we don't prevent that either

[balmy seal]

@near furnace Sorry for the interruption but is that a bug or is it meant to happen?

[near furnace]

we have something called "location music" that plays in specific locations

[silent oriole]

so i really only now get into mead making for boss preparations. and idk if its a translation thing, or am i missing something?
theres stamina mead. 3 different ones. minor, medium and major and it says minor has stamina regen buff
medium one give +25% stamina regen, and the major one again only says stamina regeneration
But then theres also the tasty mead that gives 100% stamina regen compared to the 25% of the dedicated stamina mead. (with the small health regen debuff)
why would I use the more expensive stamina mead?

[near furnace]

sometimes only once, sometimes looped

[balmy seal]

It never stops looping

[open oak]

ah so that's what that is

[gray sand]

Isn't the simple solution to play with people you trust?

[balmy seal]

Which isn't a huge deal but it gets old after a while lol

[silent oriole]

well, don't tell me this 😂
i know this. but some people want to play with strangers

[gray sand]

Tasty Mead gives regen over 10s.
The other 3 just give you a burst amount of stamina instantly but also have a 2 minute cooldown.

Tasty has no cooldown.

[silent oriole]

10 seconds?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[silent oriole]

wow

[gray sand]

Tasty is the best mead in the game.
Contested only by Berserkir.

[silent oriole]

ok. so why would i use the others then? you basically confirmed my thought about tasty being the better option

[gray sand]

Because Tasty requires you to use it a certain way. The others do not.

So it is quite literally a "skill issue" 😁

[silent oriole]

as in... u drink it when stamina low?

[balmy seal]

Why don't you just experiment

[gray sand]

You have a 10s window and you need to not attack, block, sprint, or dodge for about 5s of that window.

Because using stamina stops stamina regen. And Tasty buffs your stamina regen. So it only works when your stamina would naturally be regenerating anyway.

[silent oriole]

that is good to know

[gray sand]

Tasty is also better because it stacks with Lingering Stamina.

Where the other pots cannot even be used if you have Lingering active.

[regal spoke]

Best mead

[gray sand]

Facts.

[silent oriole]

so for the magic staffs. the game says it has a hit damage and the element damage.
does it mean direct hits hurt more in melee?

[ember panther]

The fire staff for example deals blunt on a direct hit and splashes fire damage, direct hit will get both

[nocturne wolf]

I thought it was both damage types for everything in the radius

[silent oriole]

ah.... i assume i dont want to do this though, because fire explosion hurts me? i didn't test that yet, though

[nocturne wolf]

Your own attacks never hurt you

[silent oriole]

ok yeah. but i can set myself on fire though

[azure yacht]

not from the staff

where does it mention "hit" dmg?

[silent oriole]

idk what you mean by not from the staff. i just used it a bit and set myself on fire.
i do have fire damage on on the server

[nocturne wolf]

The staff creates fire on the ground when that setting is enabled which will allow you to indirectly burn yourself

[silent oriole]

i do like the mage setup so far. only issue is the issue i thought i resolved, atleast for non eitr setups: food

[heady parcel]

Yeah, shrooms and jelly, you need lots of them!

[gray sand]

Mages are a bunch of shroom-heads.

[silent oriole]

shrooms isn't an issue. jelly seems to be more limited. i have a few stacks from the dungeons, but i try to get the queen down asap, now that i finally know where the dungeon is

[heady parcel]

Me, the only new food I've found so far in Ashlands is bonemaw meat, but I'm saving it in the hope it can be used for a stew later on. So bloody heavy as is.

[gray sand]

-# You're going to be disappointed.

[heady parcel]

Dangit

[gray sand]

To be fair though, Cooked Bonemaw is a 90/30 stat split.

Which is better than all Mistlands health foods.

[heady parcel]

Yeah, spending more than a fifth of my carrying capacity on one stack of food is a bit of a sacrifice though, need to settle for just a part stack.

[gray sand]

Top 3 HP foods in the game are 105/35, 100/34, 95/32
So Cooked Bonemaw comes in 4th currently.

[gray sand]

You're at the stage of the game where I can ask: Why are you carrying food?

I stop carrying food in the Plains.

[heady parcel]

I like doing long excursions, a couple of hours at a time, only head back when food is running low

[gray sand]

Eat in the morning, 30 minute timer tells you when to be home.
At most I take 1 of each so I can eat in the morning and then eat again 20 minutes later if I know I will be out super long.

Either way +3 inventory slots just because I'm not carrying stuff I have no business carrying.

[gray sand]

You inventory in Ashlands will fill within minutes.
So "couple hours" is untennable unless you're just ignoring drops altogether.

[heady parcel]

Haven't dared make that kind of excursion in Ashlands yet, I run a few hundred meters fighting all the way, then turn around and see the way I just walked is full of mobs again.. They're relentless haha

[gray sand]

War biome doing war things 😄

Can't wait to see how Deep North gets nerfed immediately after release 😭

[heady parcel]

Gods bloody below I forgot seekers now spawn anywhere at night, was walking around the forest picking mushrooms when one came out of the shadows and scared me out of my socks

[gray sand]

You have inspired me to finish my vegetarian run though. So thank you.

[heady parcel]

My pleasure!

[gray sand]

Forcing a food condition was the only way I could really give Mage a fair shake 😄

I love whacking things too much.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I made the clothes and tested the two blood magic staves and the fire staff, playstyle really is not my thing, so now they're wall decorations.

[gray sand]

I would like it more with one simple change:

Ice staff gains accuracy based on skill level.

[heady parcel]

The skellies are a little fun though, I think I still have one minion wandering around near my shroom farm. She comes out of the mist to scare me now and then when I tend to the shrooms and go bonking a few seekers.

[gray sand]

Hop back in... wishing we had custom keybind capability 😭 But maybe 1.0+ brings that.

[vocal rivet]

We do, don't we?

[gray sand]

Not for controller it seems?

3 presets and that's it.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, controller? No, I don't think so. Use a real input method.

[gray sand]

Controller is a real input method...

[vocal rivet]

For Mario Kart maybe.

[gray sand]

So this is the one side of you that is judgmental and not nice?
People who use controllers?

[vocal rivet]

No, this is the side of me that's clearly joking but misunderstood for some reason.

[gray sand]

If only 😏 there were ways 🙃 to convey that /s while talking /j

[vocal rivet]

Why would I care how other people play the game?

Hah, just seen this on Reddit: 'Just realized you can die in your world, have all your loot in a grave, disconnect and load back up your character with all the stuff back in your inventory... Which duplicates it. Any way to prevent this ? Thanks' - You could just, y'know, not do that?

[silent oriole]

y'know, some people don't want the bugs to happen in the first place 🤷🏻‍♂️

[heady parcel]

My guess is they ragequit on dying and discovered it accidentally

[merry pebble]

Heh, i was just 6 post down from that one xD

[vocal rivet]

It's not a bug. At most it would be an 'exploit'.

[vocal rivet]

Sorry for the spoiler.

[silent oriole]

how is items duplicating not a bug 😂

[vocal rivet]

Because the game is doing what it's supposed to.

[merry pebble]

No worries, i very much dont care what happens on reddit 😄 i go there for the occasional laughs

[near furnace]

as long as they aren't game breaking, we prioritize them very low on the "to fix" list

[silent oriole]

all good, not pressing to "fix it right now or else..", i was simply interested in the comment how that is supposed to be "intended"

[near furnace]

we have a few item dupe's on our list

[vocal rivet]

The game is loading the character correctly. Just because that doesn't now reflect the game state isn't a bug.

[ember panther]

You can dupe your entire world so yea item duping is a thing
Idk how that would be addressed

[vocal rivet]

I don't think it needs to be. It's not a competitive game. It's a solo or co-op game so people should just trust the people they're playing with.

[heady parcel]

Exactly, I've had duping happen a few times, I just throw that stuff into the ocean

[gray sand]

Just turn on "lose all items on death"
Problem solved 😏

[ember panther]

Obliterate EVERYTHING. Make Thor smile

[royal seal]

y'all, what's the most efficient way to get soft tissue?

[gray sand]

💀 ⛏️

[rapid ice]

Can someone walk me through the best way to set up a dedicated valhiem server? ATM I have a stack of old servers with Proxmox installed on them, only one is being used atm and has a VM of windows 10 in it. Ultimatly I would like to use Radmen VPN and have players connect to the server. I don't mind going the linux route, but the layering gets confusing, as I don't do this stuff every day

[gray sand]

#dedicated-server

[royal seal]

welp, time to go hunting for skeletons :')

[gray sand]

Just ze skulls.
If you hunt long enough and find nothing, there is no shame in using the map website to help you locate them.

[royal seal]

yeah I think I need to find new mistlands

[tacit crystal]

There will be another source after Mistlands, not as huge but another source nevertheless. It's ||Putrid Holes in Ashlands||.

[royal seal]

yeah I'm not even in mid-tier mistlands yet 💀

what are the benefits of arbalest vs spinesnap btw? Is it just the speed?

also do crossbows just use arrows or?

[tacit crystal]

Bolts.

[royal seal]

crap

[tacit crystal]

Crossbow benefits: after loading it's ready to use, uses very little stamina, shoots straight shots and deals more damage per shot than bow. But it's slower and if you take it out of your hands and then equip it you need to load it again.

Spinesnap is just a bow upgrade from Draugr Fang that gets extra spirit damage, which will be useful after Mistlands, but it also uses significally more stamina to draw.

[royal seal]

yeah, I have spinesnap but was wondering if Arbalest would be better or not

I should probably upgrade to carapace arrows at the very least.

[tacit crystal]

You could try Arbalest, it is rather cheap to craft.

It is not the best dps weapon but it is very good for backstab shot against distant targets.

[silent oriole]

u can comfortably sneak attack for ~400ish damage with it

imo the arbalest is invaluable for gjalls

[tacit crystal]

I like the combination of crossbow initiative and switching to spear throws when a flying target is close enough.

But crossbow also have huge knockback, which can keep distant Gjalls away from you until dead.

[royal seal]

hmm. that's a pretty good point.

[regal spoke]

I never would have thought crossbow could knock back a Gjall. Cool

[elfin phoenix]

Would like to play with some people, I’m kinda new too the game, just have no one to play with

[placid nimbus]

hello good people

[gray cairn]

I made a decent house for the first time!

I only really made cabins and such, before. This is my biggest build. I love how this game makes you proud of yourself from either the fights or the building.

Man it's fun!

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[placid nimbus]

just figured I could use the same licence from xbox to pc - any advice about PC servers and mods I could join to enjoy this masterpiece on next level?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[placid nimbus]

not sure if this is the official server (I randomly joined) but if anyone knows the dev(s) - you did (and are doing) the great job so far, love you ❤️

[royal seal]

I found a skull... there's no tissue in it because the skeleton spawned right beside a cliff and the skull spawned entirely inside the cliff. So I can't even reach like half of it because it's unmineable earth.

nvm i'm stupid I was just mining away at the teeth :')

[gleaming bridge]

how much linen thread should i have on stock

is 200 enough? i wanna focus my whole farm or barnley for food

[gray sand]

Over 9000.

[gleaming bridge]

i cant find the fucking bog witch on my map :(

[serene talon]

it's only found between 3000 and 8000 meters out from world center

[silent oriole]

the issue is that this description by itself doesn't help at all, since there is 0 indication on what range is ingame (or i did not find any)

[tiny tiger]

All swamps are found between 3000 and 8000 meters from world centre

[tiny tiger]

Don’t be discouraged just keep exploring and you will eventually find it

On my most recent full run I only found her like around plains-mistlands because the island she was on I didn’t explore fully during my Black Forest era and I had visited that island for a smouldering tomb

You are more likely to find her by accident then by actively looking for her

[tacit crystal]

In pre-Mistlands worlds that is true, but world gen was changed and new worlds after Mistlands have that area between 3000 and 6000 meters.

[gleaming bridge]

i know.. will eventually come im just venting

it is what it is

[tiny tiger]

Ah I see, where is this updated info available? I didn’t see it on the wiki

[gleaming bridge]

@tiny tiger if i remember correctly i dont have to explore the full swap i just need to be near it with my boat and the icon of bog witch will be marked?

[tiny tiger]

Yeah it works like haldor and hildir where the icon will generate when you are ‘close enough’

[gleaming bridge]

gotcha

[tacit crystal]

Here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Biomes
Swamps are found between 2000 and 6000 meters.

[tiny tiger]

Keep in mind tho if you have a particularly big swamp though it might be too far in to generate it from the edge of the biome

[tiny tiger]

Thanks I guess that makes sense, I was looking on the swamp page lol

[gleaming bridge]

i should come back to some swamps then

[tiny tiger]

Always a good to walk the full perimeter of islands you have been on

I like to leave atleast 1 portal in case

[silent oriole]

so... basically any swamp in the entire world could be it 😂

[tiny tiger]

Yeah but there are 10 locations set where it could be

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, basically that.

Which is why she and Hildir are usually easier to find than Haldor.

[silent oriole]

by the way. is there any way to delete loose items that are inside a dungeon? or general vicinity of me? the queen loves to just nuke all the marble.... and well, that kills my pc

like a console command? or iirc shutting off the game despawns items or smth, but not sure

[nimble moss]

"removedrops"

[tacit crystal]

Using command removedrops removes them in your area.

[silent oriole]

welp, time to enable commands 😂

[tacit crystal]

But they get removed after 2 ingame days when not inside workbench area.

[silent oriole]

i don't want to wait 2 days for her to... regen whatever health 2 days would do

[nimble moss]

not just workbench - all supression things like campfires etc as well

[nimble moss]

just use the command listed by Joelkkii and me - it solves your problem

[silent oriole]

or just wait 2 day in general to just have the same situation 1 minutes in the fight again. ill do the command

[tacit crystal]

Yes, true.

[serene talon]

i mean, find the lie

my statement is not really helpful but true ig

[silent oriole]

the queen is a terrible boss. i die to the 4582983589346345323152136233 ads she spawns

[gleaming bridge]

what do i do with the rest of my dragon tears? only 2 needed for the artisan

[nimble moss]

throw the rest, or keep for more artisan tables. no other uses (currently)

[gleaming bridge]

gotcha

[tiny tiger]

The artisan table is good for blocking spawns being the only crafting station which provides 40m no spawn radius or diameter I forgor

[gleaming bridge]

thats actually super coolk thank you

[rain flare]

I summon my own and cast fireball 😂

[rain flare]

Don’t you dare throw those away! 😂
They make excellent decorations if you put them in a little glass box 🥰

[silent oriole]

i definitely died less than at moder. that boss took me like 50 deaths or smth

[fresh terrace]

Beasts of burden

[rain flare]

Same!
2 of my friends and I fought her and got absolutely smashed 😂
Moder is a different kettle of fish with those ice blasts she loves to dish out

It doesn’t help when you are on the side of a mountain and fighting all manner of beasts at the same time 🤭

[silent oriole]

moder took me like 4-5 ingame days to kill. and at night its just a horrorshow with wolves spawning in like a meteor shower on your location

[cobalt canyon]

Me- uhhh.

Nothing

Absolutely nothing

[silent oriole]

i... think i pressed something, and now my game doesn't pick up items automatically anymore. what do

[cobalt canyon]

V

[heady parcel]

I found a decent strategy at the Queen was to just give her all until she got near, then simply run away and hide at the entrance, let the adds come there and kill them without worrying about their mom, and then go out to hit her some more.

[silent oriole]

thanks!

[silent oriole]

i also did a strategy that worked 60% of the time. hide in the door 😂

[heady parcel]

I also brought 94 bombs and spent them all... Keeping her lit on fire makes it easier to keep her in sight on top of ticking away on her health

I tanked a lot less with my face in that fight, too scared of her to try that

[gray sand]

Just drop like 300 EITR balls on the floor and let their spark damage kill her 😏

[heady parcel]

I'll do that next time haha. But having 300 spare eitr will take som farming on the other hand

[silent oriole]

i highly assume wearing the feather cape into ashlands is a bad idea

[gray sand]

Bad, like good, is a point of view, Anakin.

[heady parcel]

Just make sure to bring barley wine along to negate the weakness when you meet something fiery.

I'm not about to sacrifice the glidey-glidey just because the feathers are flammable!

I've expanded my brewery to make a lot more wine

[gray sand]

Given how very few things in that biome actually deal fire damage... 🤷‍♂️

[heady parcel]

Those lava blobs come out of nowhere surprisingly often in my experience, plus the underbrush is pretty often on fire. I thought those scatter arrows the charred shoot were fire arrows, but it seems not?

[gray sand]

Situational awareness shipmate!

[heady parcel]

Better safe than sorry is my philosophy. (hic)

[gray sand]

Situational awareness keeps you safe 😏

[heady parcel]

Yeah, true. But that there land offers many and incessant distractions. When I'm constantly fighting something I sometimes miss those things before they're really close. New strategy is to try and get them close to other mobs before they pop.

[rain flare]

Uhm…
No???
It is actually fine so long as you have fire wine

[silent oriole]

i won't miss all the rock jumping of mistlands.

[rain flare]

Well…
Barley wine

[gray sand]

Just admit that you love the taste of wine and that's why you take so much with you. 😏

[rain flare]

There is plenty of that in the Ashlands - believe me 😵‍💫

[vocal rivet]

There is?

[rain flare]

Wanna cross some lava?
Feather cape

Wanna get into a ||fortress|| from a high place?
Feather cape

Want to avoid getting boiled alive while exploring the ashen sea?
Feather cape

[silent oriole]

u know, i can just unequip it, and then equip if needed 🤷🏻‍♂️

[gray sand]

Wanna jump on top of a Morgen?
Feather Cape

😏

[silent oriole]

i wonder what the enviromental gimmick will be in the north biome. probably smth like superfrost

[rain flare]

Considering the frozen greydwarf in the recent teaser…
Highly likely

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall!
AAAAH work is hectic!

[silent oriole]

is there an eta for the update btw?

[rain flare]

Everyone on holiday except you? 😂

[gray sand]

Imagine not being retired 😏😉💛

[somber pumice]

Is there a mod that allows you to rotate building elements in any direction by 360 degrees? I want to build a more interesting roof than the two options that exist in the game :/

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

And there are more than 2 options...

[somber pumice]

Oh really? I didn't play for a long time so maybe developers add some roofs?

[rain flare]

Already? 😂

[gray sand]

Define "long time" because these options have existed for years.

[gray sand]

Serve for 10 years and get 90% disability with irreparable brain and body injuries.

Simple. 😉

[rain flare]

Ouch 🙈

[gray sand]

It be what it be 🤷‍♂️
I still have all my limbs so I am luckier than some.

[somber pumice]

last time i played in january 2024

[rain flare]

Glad to hear it 🫂

[gray sand]

Yeah, you played when all options existed because Ashlands added the latest. And that was around that time.

Thatch, Stone, Tar, Black Marble, Grausten.

Thatch, Tar, Grausten are your conventional roofs.
Stone and Black Marble "floor" also function as flat roof materials.

[opal prairie]

I have tomorrow and the day after of though, bbq this evening as well.
So I've got that to look forward to.
But come Monday I'll be on ladders again, redoing electrical and network wiring.

[opal prairie]

24 more years to go if I don't make some big money from somewhere.

[rain flare]

Ai ai ai!!! 😵😵😵
Glad you get some time off 🥰

[gray sand]

What does AI have to do with ladders? 🤔

[rain flare]

Well, we had to program the snakes not to fall down them 😂
🐍 & 🪜

[gray sand]

Then they just use the chutes 😏

-# Chutes and Ladders. I am old.

[silent oriole]

is there any material that will withstand the skeletons in ashlands, or is the best way to throw all my stones at them and just make ground walls?

[gray sand]

Black Marble is the toughest.
Ground walls also work.

[silent oriole]

marbel is tough, yes. but does it actually withstand the damage entirely?

[gray sand]

What do you mean by that?

[nimble moss]

Nothing is immune

[silent oriole]

meh.

[opal prairie]

The only "immune" thing is a moat, lava blobs can explode in it and make the slopes climbable though but it is less likely to happen then if you use earthen walls.

[gray sand]

Build a wall out of up-turned Rafts 😏

[rain flare]

A solid earth wall is completely immune to any and all forms of undead activity 🥰
Only thing that gets past it is the bloody ||lava|| blob

Those things go boom 😵

[nimble moss]

Yeah, I was only referring to player building pieces. But you are correct.

[toxic night]

I have a question, when the update comes, will the old world also get the update or do we need to open a new world?

[rain flare]

Old worlds will update

Just don’t build in the deep north OK?
The terrain changes to allow for dungeons etc to spawn in

[toxic night]

There are so many things in the old world because I don't want them to go to waste

[rain flare]

You might just find yourself underground or floating 😂

[rain flare]

Same for me

[toxic night]

I hope there is no problem :))

[silent oriole]

ashlands are brutal. even with a walled off piece of land, the skeletons seem to just marathon swim around the wall, and then attack in a group of like 5

[rain flare]

Yup.
You might want to spawn proof an area with campfires

[silent oriole]

i.... did an u shaped mout into the ocean with the ends having hooks, so spawns would be caught in them.
or so i thought. they all just navigate past it. Guess i will need to make a full circle

[silent oriole]

what exactly prevents spawning? any structure, or workbenches?

[rain flare]

Yup - any base item like a crafting station, campfire, hearth

[silent oriole]

ok, the shits can't get over a full encircled wall now. good.

[rain flare]

Noice!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[rain flare]

Don’t know if you’ve met these yet, but avoid the ||lava|| blobs

They will obliterate that wall cause they damage terrain when they ||explode|| 🤯

[silent oriole]

yes

as assumed, every creature in a 5 kilometer radius rushed my base as soon as i stepped 1 step into ashlands

[rain flare]

Welcome to Musbelheim

You’re doing really well by the by

Took me 2 hours to get a foothold in the Ashlands the first time 😂

[silent oriole]

finding the ore is priority now

[rain flare]

Finding it is easy enough.

Mining it…
Is the challenging part.

Bringing a large amount of it back home is close to suicide 😂

Carts and the Ashlands are…
Not the best of friends 🤣

[spare frigate]

happy valborg! 🔥

[silent oriole]

so the ore spawns exclusively in the ocean?

[rain flare]

Check your nearest pool of lava

It spawns in there - biiiig structures, you can’t miss it 👍

Enemy ||forts|| can also have flametal ore

[silent oriole]

yeah. without getting spoilered, ow i need to find a way to get across to those. raising ground.... raises lava. great

[rain flare]

There is a way to make temporary platforms
You’ll just have to unlock the recipe 😅

That, or tame a specific mob.
(I wouldn’t recommend this as the mob is probably just gonna run off leaving you stranded)

[rain flare]

Try to look for ones close to the edge
Much safer to mine

[heady parcel]

I rarely use the carts other than to ship large quantities between my various outposts - I even build paved roads between them for this purpose. Not because I need to but, just because...er... I like it. Soothes my soul or something. When mining in hostile territory, I simply run back to my outpost as soon as my pockets are full. Now I have understood mining in Ashlands is a wee bit time sensitive, but I haven't located any metal yet so I'll wrestle that problem when I get to that...

[rain flare]

It will be interesting 😂

I’m gonna craft the Ashlands spear when I get home
It’s pointy and pokies things

I needs it 😂

[rain flare]

You know what the worst part is for the Ashlands???

My pockets get full VERY quickly

The trees are on fire, so they break
The rocks are made of putty, the buildings are worn down, so they both break as well

Endless mobs all of which drop stuff, and an entire parade of harvestables that NEEEEEEED to be harvested right now, so that you could spend endless days collecting resources for every few steps you could take 🤣

[halcyon latch]

Hello, I want to be a server 0, I play alone, im spanish

[rain flare]

I hoard stuff by compulsion, especially if it’s just lying on the ground, so that land is a nightmare for me 😂

[rain flare]

Check #1024264966712340510
Most people post there

[halcyon latch]

Tyy

[rain flare]

Body pile
You’ll need to break it

[proud zodiac]

who wants to play together ?

[heady parcel]

Gods, I am doomed - I am the same

[tulip umbra]

Please tell me if there is a mod that adds slots? Like Alt+1, Alt+2, Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2. There are a lot of different arrows and for convenience I wanted to add such a mod so that I could conveniently switch in battle. Thanks in advance.

[vocal rivet]

There might be, you could ask in #mods-discussion

[tulip umbra]

Okay, I apologize and thank you.

[vocal rivet]

No need to apologise.

[rain flare]

My friend and I are chronic horders 🤭

[true cosmos]

guess my next mission is to collect a fuckton of iron 😭

[merry pebble]

Is that a metric or imperial fuckton? 😄

[true cosmos]

both and all

[merry pebble]

Good luck then 😁

[gray sand]

Imperial. Metric is asstons.

[merry pebble]

Nah that does not sound right either... 🤔

Shit-ton, thats it!

[mellow ore]

guys i havent played valheim in like 3-4 years and i cant remember all the bosses can someone tell me all of them and which one is the hardest

[merry pebble]

By progression and thus also difficulty, Eikthyr, Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth, Queen and Fader 🙂

If you didnt play for so long then last one you could've encountered was Yagluth

[mellow ore]

me and my friend just started like a server is the first boss easy?

[merry pebble]

Oh yes 🙂

You should have no problem with even just little bit of preperation

[mellow ore]

in general is the game hard?

[merry pebble]

It can be, it is supposed to, but it is for some more than for others 🙂

[mellow ore]

is it worth switching the difficulty to hard

harder*

[merry pebble]

I really wouldnt do that on first playthrough or if you have last played 3-4 years ago

Try default settings and you will see if it feels good to you 🙂 you can change them at any time

[mellow ore]

alright thank you but last thing i swear i saw more bosses maybe they arent the main ones like i saw a pictures of like one in hell is that like a new boss or upcoming

[merry pebble]

How did it look like?

There are currently 4 minibosses you can encounter 🙂

[mellow ore]

idk like a skeleton with a sword one was blue one was red

are they hard?

[merry pebble]

Ah, that is the hardest miniboss 😄 dont worry you will not encounter that one until lategame
They are challenging if you go for them when you are in the same biome as they are

But not absurdly so

[bitter canyon]

whats everyones opinion on portal traveling with metal, turn on or off

[merry pebble]

Do as you like 🙂 its your game, but if you turn it on you will miss out on lots of relaxing sailing

[mellow ore]

how often do they update the game with bosses and stuff

[tribal bay]

Hello ~ Haven't played since Ashlands launch due to the multiplayer lagging so hard out there even on dedicated servers, has that improved much? Or are there some mods / steps you can take to make multiplayer rubberbanding / mob teleporting better out there? Thanks!

[merry pebble]

There is no set time for that, so far it was at average around once every year and a half and every biome update was packed with amazing content, we have last biome in front of us which will likely take considerably more time since it will also be the 1.0 update.

[merry pebble]

The only real answer to this is better connection and not too many players at one place sadly.

[mellow ore]

only update 1.0? i thought after 4 years it would get alot of updates this update will be stacked when was the last update tho?

last major update

[tribal bay]

So I still can't play with my 4-5 friends in the Ashlands biome?

[merry pebble]

We had lots of updates over the years 🙂 1.0 is just refering to the game leaving early access, ashlands was roughly a year ago, but as i said we cant count on the ~1.5 year intervals.

[gray sand]

It's almost like game dev takes time...

[mellow ore]

cant wait for that hope it will come soon

[merry pebble]

Sev... nobody is complaining so please dont start with this...

[merry pebble]

You can, and i know people who do, but they are simply more demanding than other biomes 🙂

[merry pebble]

The only info we have about its release is that it will not be soon xD

[tribal bay]

For sure, thanks.
I'm just not sure I want to play again until the lag is fixed, hitting ashlands with a bunch of friends and then realizing we can't play it together made me not want to play again. Are there any plans for network optimization with 1.0? Thanks for your answers I appreciate it!

[merry pebble]

They are constantly optimizing stuff 🙂 but its hard with ashlands since there is simply a lot going on at once

[proud zodiac]

who wants to play valheim together ?

[merry pebble]

Look in #1024264966712340510 😄 quite a lot of people wanting to play are in there

[gray sand]

1. What?
2. Wow...
3. What?!?!?
4. Breathe.

[merry pebble]

If somebody was complaining and/or being in general a d*ck about development being slow i would be with you 100%, but when nobody came even close to that why even say this?

[gray sand]

The simplest answer is the same as to why anyone says anything ever: because we feel like saying it in the context of what is going on.

No one got offended. Nothing was started.
Why act like something was being started?

[merry pebble]

Because this is usually how these things start 😄 And it was so nice peaceful today here, so i really want to try and preserve it this way as long as we can.

[gray sand]

In the words of the great philosopher Aerosmith:

Dream until your dreams come true.

[true cosmos]

I often find this server to be fully of smarmy, sarcastic, holier-than-thou people and I hate to see that esp in a place that's supposed to be helpful and community oriented

[merry pebble]

Sometimes those people are just misunderstood 🙂 reading people can be quite challenging over texts

[gray sand]

You can be helpful while being sarcastic.
Just have to know when it will land and when it won't.

[true cosmos]

I don't think most people ask questions and enjoy receiving sarcasm back

[merry pebble]

True 🙂

[true cosmos]

and I don't mean people who are just dry/direct over text, I mean people who are very much wet blanket

there's a difference hahah

[gray sand]

That I can agree to. 😁

[true cosmos]

being belittled in an answer to a question is gross lol there's a lot of that here

[gray sand]

Also Sarita over here flexing she can afford blankets 😭

[true cosmos]

all I can afford is a deer skin rug

[gray sand]

Haldor takes all my money so same.

Greedy little smurf that he is...

[merry pebble]

Tbf, Bog witch usually gets more gold out of me than Haldor xD

[gray sand]

I still use the fishing bait conversion when I need bulk amounts of coal 😂

It's too convenient.

[merry pebble]

Hehe, yeah used it few times myself 😄 but when i find a nice swamp with geysirs i usually just use that

[gray sand]

I will never make an auto farm because I personally believe them to be against the entire spirit/point of the game.

And I know I could never make a game like this because I wouldn't finish it due to spending way too much time trying to eliminate all possible ways to make them 😂

[quasi latch]

Yeah, I don't plan to auto farm ||surtlings|| personally, but I'm not going to chew someone else out over that because that's a personal choice

[gray sand]

Did that come out as chewing?

[merry pebble]

I didnt feel like it was

[quasi latch]

No, sorry that I implied that. Just wanted to state my opinions

[gray sand]

Fair. I make it a point to always try and clarify when something is just my opinion and that other views are valid.

Unless you genuinely enjoy using Frostner. Then 🤬 you.

😏😉😁💛

[quasi latch]

You use frostner? I just use fists

[gray sand]

Deep North weapon: Fistner.

[quasi latch]

with the occasional kick thrown in for the lols

[true cosmos]

wait I had no idea villages of draugers exist in the meadows

[merry pebble]

Only after certain distance from center 😉 so its not death trap for newbies who just spawned

[light moat]

One of the cooler POIs to find imo!

[gray sand]

Sausage Farms.

[true cosmos]

this game is just the digital edition of Hoarders for me

[heady parcel]

Even so, first time I found one of those I had no idea what I would face. Still traumatised by a starred elite who bullied me for about five deaths before I managed to lure him away and take him out... Also if there's one or more starred archers they can be really hard to clear if you've only just reached the black forest.

[gray sand]

As long as you're more organized in your storage I fully support playing this way. 💛

[true cosmos]

My storage is beautiful

I want to ultimately create one giant massive base with a huge storage piece

[gray sand]

The dream.

[true cosmos]

But I’m not progressed enough yet. I gotta find bonemass first lol

[rapid ice]

so I got the steamID in there now

devcommends works and sets as true, but I can't spawn anything?

[mortal oriole]

What is all this talk about speed running? Is the game that dead?

[gray sand]

No.

[heady parcel]

Why would it be dead? And speedrunning is just something some players do for fun

[gray sand]

Also in what universe are those 2 things equated?

[merry pebble]

You cant use devcommands on dedicated servers

[rapid ice]

even if I own it?

[merry pebble]

Well, cheat commands more accurately

[heady parcel]

Not on a dedicated server no. I think you can if you host a "server" on your own game session?

[mellow ore]

guys what does upgrading wepons do?

[gray sand]

More damage, more durability.

[rapid ice]

durability lasts longer

[heady parcel]

More damage, more durability

[mellow ore]

okay thanks

[rapid ice]

I'm cool with no cheats. so what does making you admin do then on dedicated servers?

[merry pebble]

Unfortunately, yes, you putting your name in the admin list made you an admin and enables you to use commands like ban, kick, unban, etc. But cheat commands are tied to the character you start to world with i believe, so since dedicated is not started by the character you are using you cant use cheat commands.

[heady parcel]

You can kick/ban and do certain server commands

[rapid ice]

ah okay

[mellow ore]

guys what do i upgrade for now i didint beat the first boss yet

[gray sand]

Anything you, personally, feel like upgrading.

[mellow ore]

would like a spear be worth upgrading

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[merry pebble]

Flint axe is a great choice to upgrade since you will be using it quite a lot 🙂 also your weapon of choice and shield might be goodto upgrade

[mellow ore]

i got the tower shield do i get the other one

[heady parcel]

Depends on if you use it much or not I'd say. If you fight a lot with the axe - upgrade the axe. If you use a shield, upgrade the shield - and so on.

[steel copper]

depends if you like using a spear
Make all weapons, use them and decide which you like most and upgrade it

[gray sand]

For literally the entire stretch of you playing this game:

All matters of "worth" and "should I" are your personal choices to make. There are no wrong answers. Do what you, personally, feel like doing. Our opinions on the matter are irrelevant. @mellow ore

[mellow ore]

okay thanks

[prime moth]

myy goodness just found such a sweet base location

[mortal oriole]

Ashlands?

[heady parcel]

Weapon balancing is pretty cleverly done in Valheim, there is no "best" weapon that always kicks ass regardless, most weapon types have their moment to shine and none are useless in any situation. Some are better against certain foes, but none are so good that you should ditch what you personally think is most fun in favour of something you don't like.

[mortal oriole]

I've been working ashlands, and wanted to setup a good FOB. This video was very helpful. https://youtu.be/WrRw1HNvnuE

[gray sand]

Swords would like a word about balancing 😄

[mellow ore]

when do i unlock the ability to craft sword

[gray sand]

Store?

[mellow ore]

sword mb

[merry pebble]

2nd biome 🙂

[gray sand]

Bronze.

[pliant hatch]

When you get to bronze. Which is in the second biome.

[mellow ore]

wdym by second biome how does that work

[rapid ice]

so does PVP get turned on in dedivcated server?

[merry pebble]

Each player has to turn his pvp on

[heady parcel]

Swords are cool and awesome, but someone who doesn't make swords because they like clubs won't be that hampered. That's the point I want to make.

[gray sand]

Meadows -> Kill boss, proceed to Black Forest -> Kill boss, proceed to (and so on, and so forth)

[prime moth]

||once i get to magic i just go full magician mode||

[merry pebble]

^6th biome spoilers ^

[heady parcel]

I have tried, I have really tried - but I can't for the life of me get into using magic. All the items are just decorations now..

[merry pebble]

Also took me a good while to get into it 🙂 but once you do it is quite the fun

[prime moth]

||you gotta level the skills up a bit but it's super fun yeah||

[merry pebble]

Nah you dont really need to, but it certainly helps 🙂

[prime moth]

||mostly the fire staff being AOE is just really fun murdering mass amounts of mobs||

[heady parcel]

I've got a skeleton named Helga that is wandering around near my Mistlands mushroom farm. How she survives I have no idea, but it has been weeks since I summoned her and she still comes marching out of the mists and scares me once and again.

[gray sand]

Across most all games I have played, fire magic is so 😴
Lightning/Frost is my love.

Which is one thing Oblivion did better than Skyrim - all 3 have merit.
Whereas in Skyrim fire is the only one that matters.....

[pliant hatch]

Yeah well, Skyrim is technically a frost biome....

[gray sand]

Nah, it's just the secondaries.
Fire's secondary is more free damage.
The other 2 drain stats that would matter if the game had PvP, but it doesn't.

[quasi latch]

fire magic is also kinda overdone
Like, there's so many other powers you could do. Acid and magnetism are so underused

[heady parcel]

Yeah low skill is probably part of why it felt so meh, I was out of eitr before I could down a single seeker, so had to kite the bug while I regenerated enough to finish it off. While I spank it three times with my sword and it's dead before it can hit me back.

[prime moth]

the armors are def part of it too

its more fun when you full spec in, otherwise yeah melee will feel a lot stronger

[heady parcel]

While testing I ran with the full robe and 2 eitr + one stamina food. Still felt like I was just running from mobs letting eitr regen all the time. But I liked the skellies, they're cool.

[merry pebble]

Sadly they are not that usefull

[nocturne wolf]

Still waiting for a cooler summon than the skeletons

[heady parcel]

But then I'm the kind of player that was smacking mobs with my staff when I played mage in WoW...

[merry pebble]

Really not sure we will get that summon xD
-# Would be so cool tho

[heady parcel]

Logical upgrade after spanking their boss would be ||charred|| 😄

[gray sand]

Staff of Necks when?

Smiffe will put it on the list 😏

[vocal rivet]

So skeletons. But red.

[nocturne wolf]

If it summons a charred warlock, your summons will have summons

[heady parcel]

They're badass. But it might be that I'm so fresh to Ashlands - but the archer's bow being bigger than them is kinda fun

[heady parcel]

Actually - in BG3 if you summon zombies and they kill a humaonoid, they will spawn a new zombie - but they solved the potential holocaust by making secondary spawns lose health over time so they never lasted more than a minute iirc.

[prime moth]

does glass take up more gpu than other building items?

[gray sand]

This game has glass?

[vocal rivet]

Crystal. You know what they mean.

[prime moth]

lol

[gray sand]

I know what they said.

[exotic cradle]

I've heard yes, there was a thread about it on reddit a while ago, someone tested it

[prime moth]

it just seems like whenever i use it things get real laggy

kinda sucks cause its nice to be able to see outside the base and still get the shelter bonus anywhere inside

i'll have to play around with some stuff ig

[exotic cradle]

I also have an area in my base that uses about 1k crystals and yes, it's like 6 fps

[mellow ore]

guys what are all the biomes in order

[gray sand]

Meadows
Black Forest
Swamp
Mountain
Plains
Mistlands
Ashlands
Deep North

[merry pebble]

And you often get from one to another using Ocean 🙂

[vocal rivet]

I use boats.

[merry pebble]

Combination of both will work best i feel 😄

[prime moth]

i was showing my son the game and we got jump scared by the water monster

[vocal rivet]

Which one?

[heady parcel]

Watched someone riding their longship down a mountain, bit bumpy but it kinda worked

[prime moth]

the long one

i forgot about em lmao

[winged oyster]

sea serpent eh haha

[vocal rivet]

Possibly.

[mellow ore]

thx

[winged oyster]

well the only other one is in the ashlands waters, so it has to be the sea serpent right?

[mellow ore]

guys is the next update the 1.0?

[pliant hatch]

We don't know.

It could be, but it's also possible we get other updates.

The only thing we do know is that the Deep North will be the 1.0 update / release.

[mellow ore]

deep north isint out yet i swear i saw it in the wiki?

[vocal rivet]

It's a placeholder both ingame and the Wiki.

That's why Thorin said it would be out in 1.0

[heady parcel]

The biome is technically in the world since day one, there's just nothing there but snow, ice and trees. (and fish). The Deep North update will be 1.0, but it is possible there will be a content update in between adding some new points of interest, a new trader or stuff like that. We just don't know untill they make an announcement.

[grizzled pagoda]

When will deep north drop😭

[merry pebble]

We dont know, 🙂 but not anytime soon

[heady parcel]

Nobody knows

[celest acorn]

When’s an estimated release date for the deep north??

[merry pebble]

Look at the 2 messages above 😄

[celest acorn]

Oh

I guess I’m blind

[merry pebble]

No worries 😄 we all sometimes miss things

[pliant hatch]

I thought we shouldn't discuss your marbles anymore? 🤔

[merry pebble]

But i really miss them 😢

[mellow ore]

after i beat the eitkyr boss do i need to move to the black forest

[pliant hatch]

yup.

And when doing that, look for white flowers. You're going to need them. Big time.

[mellow ore]

okay thanks

[merry pebble]

You dont need to move your base there 🙂 just go and explore it

[rain flare]

Literally cannot leave my first Valheim world cause nostalgia is a thing

[mellow ore]

aha ok

[rain flare]

I want to do this one day as a challenge 😂

[spice mural]

bring a torch or a shield

[rain flare]

Move my whole live from one biome to another just cause

[merry pebble]

Move base to every biome as you progress? XD

[rain flare]

Why not?
It sound like hours of unnecessary suffering and tedious time wasting rebuilding everything over and over again 😂

[spice mural]

I used to choose to base in the black forest just for ease of access of making bronze. The trolls & grey dwarfs don't like it too much

[merry pebble]

Yeah, meadows that are just kinda close to BF are enough imo 😄

[heady parcel]

I tend to quickly make a small hut with the base necessities, get a shield, spear and crude bow and then go running along the shore of spawn island to find a nice, homely spot for a permanent base. Once I find one I settle there, and that remains my main base for the rest of that world. I make lots of minor and major outposts along the way, but the first base almost always stays in the same place - even though it will get rebuilt more than once over time..

My current world is probably the first and only exception - I have three major bases. The first one is where I still have my beehives and grow the veggies, the second started its career as a silver mining outpost on the edge of a great mountain, bordering both meadows and black forest. Ended up becoming the place where I do most crafting, thanks to abundant silver just up the mountainside and all meadows/BF resources within a drunken jog from its porch. Too well placed to give up. I built a huge pine tree tower I had intended to use as primary base, but it ended up being where I keep my chickens, eitr refinery and portal hub. It is also the highest comfort place and where I have my bed. So what did I do - I built roads between these three places. They're long and took an absurd amount of time and stone to complete, but I enjoyed the process...

By the way - changing subjects entirely - who made the start menu music? It is so atmospheric I can still sit listening to it a few minutes before I load in, just because it is so good.

[void turtle]

The meadows theme is beautiful too

I cleared a fuling camp, got my first atgeir and upgraded it

[gray cairn]

I just spent 5 hours of my day working on my base, and I forgot to eat.

This game does things to you...

[void turtle]

At least you didn’t forget to save like I have

[heady parcel]

These undead aren't being reasonable, they run away when injured

[void turtle]

The dead fear silver

[heady parcel]

Starred warrior bearing down on me, so I shot him full of frost arrows and he just did a 180 and ran out into the lava field

Not killing it out there, I want my drops!

[void turtle]

Is the Ashlands as hard as it apparently was when it came out?

[heady parcel]

I have no idea, but it is definitely a step up from Mistlands, in a different way

[vocal rivet]

No, not even close.

[heady parcel]

But I haven't died yet. On the other hand I am being very, very cautious. I tend to not get very far before my pockets are full, when I turn back because I can't stand the idea of not picking up loot..

[void turtle]

The plains are already like Doom for me, I hope the mistlands isn’t too bad

[merry pebble]

Oh, no they really arent, compared to ptb release they are very peaceful now 🙂

[void turtle]

Can’t wait to Viking shit my pants

[heady parcel]

Mistlands is mostly different. The mobs do hit hard, especially if starred - so I wouldn't walk around in there at night until you have proper gear and foods from in there. But it is a very different biome from any before it, and very pretty - when you can see it.

[void turtle]

Can’t wait to get Krom

[gray cairn]

Is it better this way, in your opinion?

[vocal rivet]

No, it was more fun before.

[gray cairn]

Shame

[heady parcel]

Now that I'm finally in Ashlands myself, I watched a streamer's (I follow for his builds) first landing on the ptb along with this buddies, and it was like watching the first ten minutes of Saving Private Ryan hahahah

[merry pebble]

It was better then, maybe with 1 or 2 balance patches/fixes that came right after release.

But the first release just had the kind of D-Day feel that i would love to have again 🙂

[gray cairn]

I remember hearing abt stuff like that when it first released.

That sucks :/

[heady parcel]

Well, I'm freshly landed in the meat grinder and it is still pretty rough to me. I spent a lot of time off shore shelling the coastal defences (shooting anything I saw moving with my bow) before I landed, and it seems that helped because I wasn't swarmed more than I could handle once I made my landing. But getting time enough to get some defences and the base necessities up was still a fight.

I walk a few hundred meters in looking for stuff and I have to fight all the way - then when my pockets are full and I turn around, I have to fight my way back. So even if it has been nerfed since ptb, it is not "easy" unless you're a bit too good at this to have a say in the matter 😄

[gray cairn]

Makes me feel better tbh

[heady parcel]

Like - I was given Elden Ring for christmas by my stepson last year and while I freaking adore that game - the detail, immersion and visuals are absolutely wonderful - I had to quit it for my mental health, it was just too frustrating. I was being bullied by just about everything except the easiest tutorial mobs. Heavily reaction and pattern-reading based difficulty is not for everyone, I could plow a thousand hours into that game and I probably wouldn't get half way through, I'm just too old, thick-fingered and slow for it. Doesn't have me on their forums crying for the game to be nerfed, because if it was it wouldn't be what it is. Valheim on the other hand has combat that feels kinda similar to Dark Souls/Elden Ring but is still forgiving enough to allow me to progress, and I freaking LOVE this game for that!

[void turtle]

Fuck wolves
Fuck wolves
Fuck wolves Fuck wolves
Fuck wolves
Fuck wolves

[heady parcel]

[vocal rivet]

I'd rather not.

[merry pebble]

Lemme guess... Wolf killed you...

[heady parcel]

Wrong game, BG3 is that way...oh right, yeah, that was a bear.

[void turtle]

Worse, as I’m trying to kill 2 fuling berserkers, I get hunted

Fuck wolves

[merry pebble]

Why not let them kill each other?

[heady parcel]

When that happens, stop fighting - run and kite to get yourself between the zerkers and the wolves and they'll have at it at each other

[void turtle]

They did, now I’m stuck with 8 health and no stamina with fucking loads of wolves around me

[heady parcel]

Yeah, wolf pack can be bloody relentless. Getting on top of something - a fuling towery-ish thing or a cliff - should allow you to get a more easily defended position. If the wolves can only get at you from one direction they're toast.

[void turtle]

I’m in the middle of the fucking plains, surrounded by wolves

[heady parcel]

If you were fighting zerkers there should be a fuling village nearby, their wooden towers have ladders, wolves can't climb those and won't chew on them because you didn't craft them

[void turtle]

Nowhere near one

[heady parcel]

Then where the fudge did the zerkers come from? Those guys don't roam..

But, regardless - if surrounded by wolves, either turtle mode (block, keep your back free, make distance when you can) or 2H hammer/atgeir special can help.

[void turtle]

How do I turn on dev commands on console?

I can’t get my stuff back because there’s fucking wolves

[vocal rivet]

The wolves will despawn when the event ends.

[heady parcel]

Wolves are squishy, if you died and are going back, bring a bow and pick any remaining wolves off from afar

(aggroed wolves won't despawn, so if they were fighting other mobs they will remain)

[void turtle]

They did not

[vocal rivet]

Has the event ended?

[void turtle]

Yes

[void turtle]

How can I do that when I don’t have a bow?

[vocal rivet]

Use one of your spares or craft a new one.

[void turtle]

Never mind, I don’t have to cheat, I reloaded the game and the wolves are gone, Thank fuck

[heady parcel]

Hahaha - bat raid, but the bats flew off to bother all the greys in the forest instead

[void turtle]

I’d rather get raided by morgens than by fucking wolves

[heady parcel]

Wolf event usually has fantastic timing. Nowhere near anything climbable, bad foods, let rest buff expire because mountain/plains is harmless anyway...you name it.

Or busy fighting a fuling village

Although fulings are usually a great diversion in this case

[nocturne wolf]

During a fuling village is good timing because they fight each other

[void turtle]

Is it bad that my current plains food is cooked wolf meat, sausages, and cloudberries?

[heady parcel]

You shouldn't really be eating straight cooked meat or raw berries ever, that's just a waste of resources. Cook meals - lox pie, wolf skewer, bread or blood pudding, heck even eyescream would be better than just chugging berries for stamina

[merry pebble]

Unless right after you start 😉

[void turtle]

I don’t have wolf skewer on my cooking pot

[nocturne wolf]

Do you have onions?

Have you grown onions?

I completely forgot to grow oinoins

Back to the mountains

There ye go - and the barley is used to make flour, with which you get the best use out of lox meat and cloud berries

Can you grow cloudberries?

[heady parcel]

No, but they grow in dense clusters so foraging them is very easy, you can easily pick two stacks in ten minutes

[void turtle]

Wonderful

It is likely quicker than it would be to go through the whole planting - growing - harvesting - repeat cycle

[void turtle]

Ok

[heady parcel]

Remember - the berries grow back after some time, so mark up bigger clusters near your outpost/base and you'll never run short of cloudberries ever again

(I also mark blueberry/mushroom/raspberry clusters wherever there is more than four, then I just run between the map markers whenever I run low)

[void turtle]

Ok

Wait a second, can Morgen eat equipment?

[merry pebble]

Nope

I just fought one, and after the fight my hammer is gone...

The hammer really is gone, it is not on the ground anywhere near if I had somehow managed to drop it in panic, it just went up in smoke

What the heck? At least it wasn't anything requireing exotic materials, but dangit the hammer going poof is scary!!
