[topaz patio]

a bit hot

[void turtle]

Yes

I love golems

[silver salmon]

its german 😄

[void turtle]

Whats going on?

[topaz patio]

Yeah exactly what I'm saying😂

[silver salmon]

btw @topaz patio my discord got spam warning by your account, dont know why ^^

[heady parcel]

Captured an asksvin in my compound and thought I'd try to tame it, so when I tossed it a puff it promply jumped up on my raised platform. Scared me to death... Managed to push it back down before it started wrecking stuff, phew. But seems I need to make my platform higher...

[topaz patio]

Idk why this is happening actually I'm getting online here after 2 weeks so maybe that's why

[void turtle]

Maybe they are

[silver salmon]

@lunar sapphire Sorry my dear, you can help ? Hannah is no spamer, can we change this ?

[topaz patio]

Are you a bot?

[silver salmon]

bots are never such confusing, 😄

[void turtle]

We have to out evolve them, become omnipotent

[unkempt rampart]

How is it going for everyone?

[void turtle]

An idiot

[silver salmon]

Hello! A person who knows they are on a train but doesn't know how to exit it could be described as a "passenger who is aware of their presence on the train but is unsure of how to disembark." chatgpt 😄

[lunar sapphire]

We aware that this is the #valheim-chat channel right?

[silver salmon]

Yes, Sir 😄

[leaden falcon]

Hello!

[silver salmon]

dont worry, we are here 4u 🙂

I got interested and poked our fighter 😄

Subject

if Hannah is a bot, he will find it^^

[topaz patio]

Look, now you are wasting my time

[silent oriole]

iirc its a discord thing, not a server thing. the dude did something (most likely got hacked and spammed a bunch of links to friends/servers) and discord flagged it. need to contact the support.
often happens when people get hacked, then recover the accounts, but discord forgets to remove that

[silver salmon]

@topaz patio please write Discord support, so you get unflagged again 🙂

[topaz patio]

sure

[silver salmon]

i think "Ai" gets to good and some may get to afraid

[lavish shuttle]

It's real easy. Just ask them to say something offensive

LLM filters will block the sentence, and you'll get a "Sorry, I can't do that" answer

[silver salmon]

@lunar sapphire do we go on in this game or stop and check

[silent oriole]

i mean man, maybe just let it go and accept it's just a dude who probably does half of posting via a translator?

[lavish shuttle]

Because saying "You're an AI" isn't being one?

[silent oriole]

now this sounds like chatgpt

[lavish shuttle]

And time is a physical property of the universe. Clocks only show simultaneity, and THAT doesn't exist

Why, because they stopped posting? Just after they've been advised to contact Discord support?

[near furnace]

🤔

[leaden falcon]

So has anyone played with any good communities for a full Valheim server with 10 people?

[near furnace]

yes

[leaden falcon]

Like how was it?

[lavish shuttle]

I'm more of a solo/with friends person

[near furnace]

Discord works in mysterious ways D:

[lavish shuttle]

Or it could be someone following good advice. Now, instead of being an asshole calling random people AI, you could have just flagged a local mod to explain why you think they're an LLM.

But you did agree to follow the local rules when you joined

[robust token]

With always active 10 people or..?

[lavish shuttle]

You assume a mastery of the language they may not possess

And doubled down after that

[leaden falcon]

Uh I guess. I never considered half the people inactive. I was picturing in my head one large playthrough.

[robust token]

There are people come and go, yeah

[lavish shuttle]

Language is used to express concepts. Each language shows of the relevant culture sees and understands the world, so expressions differ between languages. The platonic ideal of universal ideas is pretty stupid in itself
And a low level of mastery of a foreign language adds to those differences

[robust token]

I do play on one, usually 3~5 players online

[leaden falcon]

Hm, alright. Now for my next question.

Any builders here? I got a baby girl coming next month that I hope to play Valheim with in 5 years. Any baby crib build ideas?

[robust token]

Why bro started talking like an AI

[lavish shuttle]

I did, hence my remarks

[rain flare]

Oi.
@lavish shuttle and @verbal bluff
This is an interesting discussion you’ve got going, but it’s not related to Valheim in any sense

#general is more suitable for this

Well spotted 😂
But I’m from the colonies so my grasp of the language has a distinguished lack of Posh 😂

[void turtle]

A firepit

[rain flare]

That would work…

Curses!
He guessed correctly! 😂

I cannot not respond to such excellent guess work 🤭

LoL 😂

[near furnace]

please. this is #valheim-chat and not "facebook and AI chat

[azure yacht]

Translation: Speak about valheim

[exotic cradle]

why are you tagging people

your opinion doesn't matter, it's server rules

3 times?

Ok seems like there was a nuke just now and I look like I'm talking to myself so 🥲

Back on track

[keen trench]

Yup, I tried replying and an app stopped me

[rain flare]

Welcome back to Valheim ❤️

[lunar sapphire]

[rain flare]

By the by, I’ve joined you in that 2* Asksvin hunt

I am not too hopeful that I shall succeed considering how long you’ve been at it 😂😅

Have you even found one yet @exotic cradle ?

[exotic cradle]

Of course not

[rain flare]

Well, we will see which one of us get’s lucky first 🥳 ❤️

[exotic cradle]

But then again i haven't really been looking that hard, I played an entirely different world since that

[keen trench]

Decoration or death (and death)

[exotic cradle]

Yes and tbh since I accomplished it I dunno what to do anymore

I got grausten and ashwood, feels like goal is complete

[void turtle]

Does the staff of protection only last for 1 minute?

[exotic cradle]

took about 200 ingame days (could be done in less, I just wasted time ofc)

[keen trench]

Well you got some

[steel copper]

time increase with skill I think

[void turtle]

How do i increase blood magic skill? I only have protection staff

[steel copper]

casting and when bubble burst I think

[void turtle]

The bubble took 1 hit from a seeker soldier, why did I get this?

[merry pebble]

you get 0.75xp per skeleton hitting a creature, 0.5xp per skeleton bow hit a creature, 1xp per shield breaking from damage (only works for shield tht your character has, the shields on other creatures do not give you any xp)

[steel copper]

depends how you use it. As a full mage you don't want to be in range
As a battle mage, you might only use it to tank a few hits.

[merry pebble]

Dont think of the bubble as a shield but as your hp, you wouldnt let yourself get hit until you have no hp right? 🙂

[rain flare]

Time increases based on the staff’s upgrade level

Level 1 = 1 minute
Level 4 = 4 minutes

[steel copper]

A seeker does a lot of pierce dmg even with a shield

[merry pebble]

And how much dmg it blocks is reliant on the blood magic lvl 🙂

[rain flare]

The stave’s ability to block damage increases with your skill level

Mine blocks almost 1k damage before it pops 🫧

[steel copper]

also remember to mix and match gear, you can still use heavy pieces of armor or root armor to negative dmg or pierce dmg

[merry pebble]

max is 700 😉

[merry pebble]

Not necessary, just recast the bubble if it breaks, until it breaks you dont recieve any dmg

[void turtle]

So I just have to grind

[steel copper]

depends on a person build

[merry pebble]

Yes, but even previously you said that even with bubble shield seeker does lots of pierce dmg, which is incorrect

[rain flare]

Memory is bad apparently 😂

[steel copper]

not sure you understood what I said

[merry pebble]

Well it is close-ish to 1K 😄 just not quite so much i would go with that number

[rain flare]

Agreed 😂

[merry pebble]

You said "A seeker does a lot of pierce dmg even with a shield" while you were reffering to this "The bubble took 1 hit from a seeker soldier, why did I get this?" , what else could you mean?

[steel copper]

seekers do a lot of pierce dmg even with a shield. So regardless of a bubble seekers still do a lot of dmg. I fail to understand how you think that is incorrect

[merry pebble]

Because you do not recieve any dmg if your bubble shield is up.

[steel copper]

obviously

but dmg is taken by the shield and seekers do a lot of it...

I think you just misunderstood what I was saying

[merry pebble]

Possibly

[nocturne wolf]

The shield takes full damage, armor and damage modifiers don't reduce it until the shield is broken

That's why attacks with chop or pickaxe damage break it so fast

[steel copper]

what? That comment had nothing to do with shield just that you can play a mage with mix gear so when a bubble burst you don't die instantly bcos of low HP of dmg resist

[merry pebble]

Thats the point, if you keep bubble up its very hard to die

[steel copper]

my bubble has burst and Ive been hit instantly afterwards, getting a new bubble in the middle of the fight can be a perilous

[rain flare]

I getcha

I died like 3-4 times recently after a break from Valheim

Then I realised what I did wrong

I was in melee range with mobs as a mage

[steel copper]

Ashlands is the only biome I don't go full mage because you can be swarmed quickly so I mix mage with Flametnal armor just in case I need to sword and shield

[rain flare]

So I changed my tactics and stayed at a distance
Made it much easier to kill things and stay alive even if they popped my bubble

[rain flare]

Has some close calls - was playing in Ashlands as well - but I always survived by using every tool in my magical arsenal

Skeletons, trolls, wild staff, dundr, ice stave, embers

I literally have every possible mage stave on my and play like anything that touches me is gonna kill me

It’s the only way to play full mage down there

[steel copper]

Same, its chaotic but feels dangerous so roll a bit of both now

[void turtle]

How can I level up magic fast?

[steel copper]

srsly, Ashlands can feel like its ganging up on you.
2 Morgen, Valkrie, 3 Ashkins, marksmen, tweakers, swordmen, vultures all coming after you

[lunar cargo]

hey guys

[steel copper]

I built a draugr farm just for leveling magic.

[void turtle]

How do you do that?

[lunar cargo]

started valheim recently and defeated eikthyr

[steel copper]

find a draugr farm with 3-4 spawners, usually found in meadows near swamp
clear out all of the stuctures, build platforms over spawners so they get stuck and away you go

[void turtle]

I forgot draugr spawners were a thing

[rain flare]

Blood magic - use skeletons a lot

Elemental magic - use ice stave a lot

You gain xp per hit on an enemy

[steel copper]

spawn a few trolls then ice them

quite boring but if you do it in mislands you can have some fun with dvergr as well

[steel copper]

[tacit crystal]

Jump casting is one way to keep your movement while getting the shield.

[gusty silo]

Can you please recommend a mod to show what exactly improves with swords and other items with their level?

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-discussion

[steel copper]

has anyone ever crafted an item instead of upgrade then realise you have two 🤦

[merry pebble]

Many times 😄 mainly in first few hundred hours but still happens sometimes even after thousand

[rain flare]

Yeah - it’s annoying.
Normally only happens when distracted

[steel copper]

now I have 2 dundr and I don't even want 1 coz it sucks

[nocturne wolf]

Dundr and staff of fracturing have more significant damage increases as they upgrade compared to other weapons because the damage is copied for each projectile, so at level 1 they might not feel as powerful as they should be.

[steel copper]

its still elemental dmg though right, so even max level 3 both are underwhelming

[nocturne wolf]

But even with more damage, being unable to dodge while dundr reloads isn't fun

[nocturne wolf]

What about the elemental damage is underwhelming? Lightning damage applies stagger so it is mechanically similar to physical damage.

[rain flare]

Dundr is great for certain mobs

[nocturne wolf]

And staff of fracturing has some blunt damage like the staff of embers

[steel copper]

Staff of the Wild is amazing
Fracture seems ok if you land a full shot while jumping

dundr still not working for me

[nocturne wolf]

Staff of fracturing could be very powerful in deep north if there’s less fire resistance

At level 4 it can deal up to 360 fire damage per hit, and the currently obtainable max level 3 deals up to 288

• all levels have 144 blunt damage

[steel copper]

I would love to see a staff of lightening

[nocturne wolf]

Dundr

Neck staff when

[steel copper]

not some weird lightening shotgun

[idle storm]

Dundr is great fun, but not below 50 ele skill

[steel copper]

gonna play around with it in Ashlands

ofc since it can only be levelled to 3 it not gonna be as good as other staffs

[idle storm]

Not really? Same applies to the other Ashlands staffs and they all beat embers & frost on single target dps, barring resistances/weakness.
With some ele skill Dundr oneshots twitchers and marksmen and the knockback makes dealing with most melee enemies pretty easy once you get the reload time down a little.

Also basically nothing resists lightning

[steel copper]

Thor

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is great also for playing with logs: #memes-and-clips message

[silent oriole]

wouldn't a direct hit do more damage?

[merry pebble]

Its not about the dmg 😄

[tacit crystal]

Well, yes. But it's fun.

[silent oriole]

i have 1 bloodstone iirc. is dundr generally worth it if i already have a lightning mace on 2. or should i save it

[merry pebble]

Bloodstone is also usefull for the black forge upgrade, Trollstav and ||Dyrnwyn|| <--- weapon obtainable via ashlands sidequest 🙂

[tacit crystal]

While it is not the most effective for AoE it is good against bigger targets, especially Morgen who are weak against lightning.

[untold trail]

Just curious do most people play with portal restrictions on or off? I liked the idea of restricted portals at first, but with the amount of ore I need and with how little content the ocean has, I feel like I'm good on massive boat trips.

[rain flare]

Once you learn how to use it dundr is awesome 🤩

[rain flare]

Asksvin are a good target as well - same with valkarie

[untold trail]

Just to clarify is there something im missing out on gameplay or progression wise if I turn off the restrictions?

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll just be sailing less

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, like I said, bigger targets.

[untold trail]

Okay word, that's what I thought. So maybe it will be a more attractive optio if/when the ocean gets properly filled out.

[quasi latch]

Really up to you.

Having portal restrictions encourages you to build multiple bases more imo

[gray sand]

I turned them off the moment they added Stone Portal to the game.

[steel copper]

I would say without portals you have to play differently, so don't use boats to haul ore back to a base, get used to building bases near ores. Many biomes are mixed so you can potential get everything you need from one island
I've never personally tried no portals but I would probably be a nomad and build multiple small bases to gather all the resources I need, rather than trying to go back and forth

[untold trail]

Thanks folks!

[silent oriole]

can't you collect ores, and the put furnaces where u stored them at the base in the new biome?

[untold trail]

Yeah, I just think the way I play these games, it is impossible for me to stay organized unless I have centralized storage

[silent oriole]

u can still have a centralized storage

it would take you to sail then though

i mean there are workarounds which are legit albeit exploity at worst 🤷🏻‍♂️

[tribal matrix]

Do I understand correctly that it bans all Russian words?)

[pliant hatch]

If you mean this discord;

It removes all languages, but English.

Reason for that is that this is an International Valheim Discord and it's impossible to moderate all the different languages if they're allowed to be used.

[tribal matrix]

Okey this not rusofobic

[left echo]

how did the serpent spawn i dont remember bc i played like year ago

[tacit crystal]

Night or rain.

[left echo]

and on ocean

[tacit crystal]

Yes, they spawn only in ocean.

[left echo]

ty

[pliant hatch]

Not that I know of.

But then, politics and religion are two of the subjects we aren't allowed to discuss at this discord either.

We're all Vikings playing Valheim here, no matter our background.

[tribal matrix]

I like it

[pliant hatch]

So do we all. 😄

So on behalf or the other Vikings and Shieldmaidens: Welcome!

[brittle flower]

Dude my trophy luck is insane in my new world

I got the rancid trophy from the first rancid remain

Wraith trophy from the second wraith

Draugr elite trophy from the first AND second elite

Cultist trophy from the first cultist

Stone golem trophy from the second stone golem

I think valheim wants to thank me for starting to play it again after a long break

Oh right and a wolf trophy on day 2

[quasi latch]

The obliterator will be very happy

[tacit crystal]

Put them on the wall, rarest trophies deserve it.

Now you need to get golem, berserker, soldier etc so you have other rare ones.

[quasi latch]

Killing Fader: the most inefficient way to farm coal

[ember panther]

I hate that in order to summon the queen again you need seeker soldier trophies. I'd sooner find another 30 seal breaker fragments

[pliant hatch]

No you don't.

All you need to do is finding another Queen spawn location.
She's already there, so no need to sacrifice Seeker Soldier Trophies.

[gleaming bridge]

so my two chicken eggs have hatched, what now?

[merry pebble]

You wai till they grow up and then you give them seeds 🙂

[gleaming bridge]

@merry pebble birch seeds?

[merry pebble]

Most kind of seeds 🙂 i preffer using carrot, turnip and onion seeds, they also eat barley iirc

[nocturne wolf]

Dandelions too

[gleaming bridge]

ohh thank you

[grim wagon]

What does the yellow text in brackets do on damage

[rain flare]

Grey text means the enemy is resisting / reducing the damage you deal

White means there are no modifiers

Yellow means the enemy is weak to that damage type so it hurts extra bad when you use that on them

Example:
trolls don’t like pierce damage (arrows, spears, etc)

[pliant hatch]

If you mean the damage when you hold your mouse pointer over your weapon, that's the damage you actually do, based upon the total damage (white) and your skill.

So if a weapon like Frostner is showing blunt 35 (15-26), it means the maximum damage you can do is 35, but with the skill you're able to do between 15 and 26 blunt damage.

[tacit crystal]

Don't give birch, beech seeds are better.

[tacit crystal]

Oh, wrong comment to reply lol. @merry pebble

[gleaming bridge]

is it worth investing in a black metal word? im about to be done with plains tomorrow and i have 0 sword skill

[signal lava]

Any word on what the deep north might be like?

Other than cold

[gleaming bridge]

cool

[signal lava]

Sick

[tacit crystal]

It's worth if you seem it that way.

Would be a good idea to level up some sword skill, but tbh skills don't matter that much.

[gleaming bridge]

gotcha, love the pfp by the way

[tacit crystal]

There are those small trailers of Hervor Bloodtooth and her adventures in DN, you get the idea from them.

[signal lava]

Does moders power work with the aksvin cape

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

[steel copper]

If the Hervor Bloodtooth blog videos are an indication; it'll be white.

[steel copper]

a bit disappointed we didn't get a new pickaxe for Ashlands
Still on the black metal one from Plains...did they just forget?

[pliant hatch]

Or didn't want to add one because we might get a new one in the Deep North?

Devs are like gods, they work (and think) in mysterious ways.

[steel copper]

haha

....like gods lol

As always, gaps in tools/weapons etc are intentional.

[brittle lance]

how do i craft a ferminter? if im not wrong it should be the only thing im missing from the bronze age other than a farm

[merry pebble]

Finewood, bronze, resin

[ember panther]

I've found some oddball eggs around, but not many... I like to let any overstock of tamed animals wander freely

[brittle lance]

Thnx i should had everything except the finewood

have"

how many should i build? i can make two

[merry pebble]

If you are solo one or two are enough 🙂 tho i like to make a bit more if i can

[brittle lance]

maybe later in the game and yeah im playing solo, trying to enjoy the game since my friend ruined our last playthrough

[willow summit]

We had iron pickaxe as the best possible one for awhile when the game first went live. Didn't get blackmetal until later. Even in plains all we had was iron pickaxe

[brittle lance]

is there like a way to go on spectator mode? i want to go up to take a pic of the base

[ember panther]

Well blackmetal pick was added later with mistlands update... need yggy wood

[merry pebble]

Ctrl + F3 to hide HUD/UI and freefly command 🙂

[tacit crystal]

That's unfortunate. Hopefully you have fun in your run!

[brittle lance]

yeah he used comands to get overpowered gear and rush the game

[brittle lance]

thnx

[tacit crystal]

That sounds very unfun.

[ember panther]

Yeah where's the fun in that... just beating the game as fast as possible is lame. My no map playthrough just passed day 1000 and I've yet to kill the queen

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @arctic kiln Dang that would have been really good for the scenery category of Favour of Freya without visible HUD.

[brittle lance]

is there a way to disable the crow? its so annoying

[merry pebble]

#screenshots message @brittle lance Looks good to me 😄 But you might want to replace the fence with the stakewall

[merry pebble]

In the settings, but you will be much more likely to loose your way and miss pretty important info 🙂

[brittle lance]

its on my to do list i just need to gather wood

[brittle lance]

thank you

[tacit crystal]

Plan sounds solid, you need to sail and find something in the ocean to get material for abyssal knife. Which is quite good weapon on early stage (basically tier higher than copper knife), but you need some luck for that. And you're correct on the bronze vs troll armor, they have no significant difference in armor rate but the biggest differences are no metal cost for troll armor and it doesn't slow you down.

[vocal rivet]

Hugin generally has something useful to tell you.

[merry pebble]

-# They already have the razor 😉

[royal seal]

taming my first Asksvin rn :D

[keen pendant]

Good for you!

[steel copper]

riding Ashsvin through lava is peak Valheim adventuring.

[tacit crystal]

True, reading is hard when sick.

[royal seal]

man, the bog witch taming potion is an absolute godsend

[brittle lance]

yeah ive made the second boat

[steel copper]

not tried it yet, how does it worK?

[royal seal]

reduces taming time by 50%

[steel copper]

amazing

[merry pebble]

And it stacks with other players using it 😉

[royal seal]

which means you need two back-to-back to fully tame something in half the time since each lasts 10 minutes

[royal seal]

WHAT

exponentially???

[merry pebble]

The half gets halved again 😄

[royal seal]

hey, I see a purple glowing thing in the distance in the Ashlands. Is that a starred slime? I remember the starred surtlings were pink/purple

[merry pebble]

The taming speed is multiplied by two for each of the players using it (x2, x4, x8, etc).

[merry pebble]

No more surtlings in ashlands 🙂

[royal seal]

yeah, I know, I'm asking if it's a starred slime since both they and surtlings are made of fire

[merry pebble]

Ah, the slimes there do not have stars 😄

[royal seal]

Oh

must've just been a reflection or something then

[brittle lance]

I got a notification someone commenting on the cpu but when I clicked on it it Led me nowhere 💔 prob got deleted bit whoever said it just know that the software is buns I only use it for the fps

[royal seal]

how do I reach flametal nodes? I don't have asksvin saddle unlocked yet.

[nocturne wolf]

You can use basalt bombs to create temporary platforms on lava.

Make a few extras to keep at base so you can easily reach your grave if you die out there

[royal seal]

oooh, gotcha. I'll go make some :D

[celest acorn]

I’m gonna cosplay the valheim iron armor

[royal seal]

WAS NO ONE GONNA TELL ME THE FLAMETAL HELMET LOOKS SICK AS HELL??

[ember panther]

Surprise!

[gray sand]

Helmet? You mean Dverger Circlet?

[merry pebble]

Why would we ruin the excitement of finding out for you? 😄

[royal seal]

why dvergr circlet when you can wisplight? :perkins: ah crap.

[celest acorn]

Sorry, but no, it doesn’t, it’s inaccurate to viking times, they didn’t have horns on their helmets

[gray sand]

why not both 😏

Also wisplight occupied the Belt slot so 😭

[tacit crystal]

I've never worn the circlet actively, but they make nice wall lamps when put in item stand.

[royal seal]

Vikings also didn't have magical staffs and giant lizard-ox hybrids. Horned helmets are historically inaccurate but that doesn't mean they look any less cool. I will say I thought for a sec that they were wings a la Attic helmets.

[celest acorn]

I know, it’s just un necessary, I have nothing against you btw

Just if it came off wrong

[royal seal]

eh, it looks cool, I'd rather have inaccurate helmets than have all helmets look the same ngl.

[celest acorn]

Fair, but I think a gemstone would look cooler than giant horns that get in the way of your screen

[light moat]

Horned helmets ❤️

[celest acorn]

Horned helmets 💔

[vocal rivet]

Historical accuracy in a fantasy game loosely based on Norse mythology? Really?

[royal seal]

that's what I'm saying 😭

[vocal rivet]

Huh? I'm disagreeing with you.

[celest acorn]

…..

[vocal rivet]

Wait, wrong person. My bad.

[royal seal]

I'm saying the game is loosely based on Norse mythology and has many inaccurate elements, but it's still sick as hell.

[vocal rivet]

And I'm saying it's not 'inaccurate' when it's not supposed to reflect reality anyway.

[celest acorn]

Why bother adding accurate helmets when you’re gonna ruin it later

[royal seal]

yeah, you're not wrong. Accuracy only really matters if it's supposed to be a 1:1 adaptation.

[vocal rivet]

Nothing is wrong. This is Valheim lore, this is how things look in the Valheim universe. By definition it is correct.

[royal seal]

imo accuracy goes out the window the moment you have a Tenth World. Greydwarves are based on nothing in the mythology, neither are most creatures in the game (afaik, anyways). Having two horned helmets doesn't really "ruin" anything especially when you can just... take the Ask/Embla set or keep the carapace helmet.

[signal lava]

I really love the wolf head being part of the cloak, I hope they do something similar for one of the deep north creatures

[celest acorn]

Fair, I’m not trying to say it’s inaccurate to the valheim lore, I’m saying that the design choices for armor have been accurate throughout the game, but then it loses the trend of semi realistic helmets

[celest acorn]

Same

[signal lava]

The wolf cloak makes me feel like thragg

[royal seal]

not in its entirety. The drake helmet of the mountains also has horns, though I'll say that it makes more sense than flametal since you actually use a drake trophy to make it. That's why I'd love it if there was a way to add different horns to helmets by using trophies

[ember panther]

Drake helmet is also really cool

[royal seal]

Thragg ♥

[ember panther]

Vikings themselves may not have worn horned helmets, but their shamans wore antlers

[celest acorn]

In more simple words, my autism likes cycles to not be broken after they start

Time to touch grass

[royal seal]

in another but tangentially related topic: What uses are there for charred bones?

[ember panther]

Shield generator

[signal lava]

Bones are fuel for shield and also theyre in a couple recipes

[royal seal]

O

[signal lava]

Theyre in the flametal armors recipe actually

Why does the tunic from the tailor specify that it is undyed

Can I dye it?

[royal seal]

you can get coloured ones once you get her the chests

[signal lava]

Ah

[royal seal]

undyed just means brown iirc

[signal lava]

Yes

Does she sell pants?

[celest acorn]

Yes

I think

[signal lava]

They must be in one of the chests

[royal seal]

how do you fight morgen??

actually scratch that, better question: I had my asksvin in a taming put with a black marble and grausten lid, fully enclosed. I just found it dead. What killed it? Is it explosions from slimes?

[opal wyvern]

Do ONLY roof pieces count as “roof” or can stone and black marble be used?

[ember panther]

Stone floors will provide shelter

[slim remnant]

so will angled wood beams

[heady parcel]

Yes, earth walls do not block area of effect damage.

[celest acorn]

back on topic, do you think the iron armor's scales would be made using the metal wring method or the sewing on to shirt method??

[magic oyster]

what do you guys like to make charcoal out of?

thoring in a bunch of core wood seems like a pretty good choice, but im wondering what yall do for charcoal

[gray sand]

Wood.

And seeker meat.

[celest acorn]

Core wood if I’m not planning on making a log cabin any time soon

[light moat]

Just wood, I hold on to my core wood for builds (I use a lot of it)

[tepid prawn]

Love to make it from the bodies of Surtlings at swamp spawners 🙂

Also provides you with plenty of cores for portals, and trophies for decoration / sort of lighting.

[light moat]

Leng has a big brain 🧠

[royal seal]

wood, occasionally dip into the swamp for surtlings if I only need a little because burning an imperfect stack bothers my brain.

y'all, is Dundr good? Or fracturing staff? I just got bloodstone and wanna know if I should make either for a hybrid build or if I should stick to martial stuff and focus on HHS foods instead of HES, and their damage seems kinda weird.

[idle storm]

Dundr is okay but i wouldn't call it a critical upgrade. Better save the bloodstone for a gemcutter and trollstav first and build Dundr after imo. Also guzzles eitr like it's going out of style so not really that great for a hybrid.

As for the staff of fracturing it's not terribly useful in Ashlands because most things resist fire and it lacks the AoE of the staff of embers, but it's cheap enough to craft that there's really no reason not to.
Their damage being weird is because the listed damage is per projectile (they fire multiple).

[royal seal]

Ah, I see. I ask because I read somewhere that Frost was food but when I tried it it was impossible to aim. And when it did hit, it did very little damage

[idle storm]

frost staff is basically an SMG, not a long-range weapon. Unless your enemy is very big at least

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

So if you're wondering about Dundr or Fracturing -- either build one and find out or make a cheat world, spawn one in, and test it out to see if you want to build one.

[royal seal]

…charred warriors?

[idle storm]

Better use embers, warriors are hp sponges (ignore the fire resist, embers does a decent chunk of blunt damage too after all).

[royal seal]

Warriors are extremely annoying, almost as much as seeker soldiers.

[idle storm]

You can just nuke them with ember staff, they're too slow to catch up to you

[gray sand]

Also mages work better with EEF instead of HES.

[royal seal]

EEF?

[idle storm]

frost staff i mostly use for valkyries in Ashlands

[gray sand]

I believe in your deductive skills 💛

[royal seal]

Ooh good point, they’re impossible to melee and arrows do basically no damage to them :’)

[royal seal]

Energy Energy…. F?

[gray sand]

The fuck is "Energy"? We are talking about Valheim food types./

Health, Stamina, EITR, Feasts...

[royal seal]

Eitr*

Ah, feasts. Yeah that makes sense, but like I said, I’m aiming for hybrid at most, not full mage; swords are too fun for me.

[celest acorn]

Fighting bonemass rn

[idle storm]

As a hybrid i'd probably not bother with most staves except bubble, embers and vines. The others don't seem worth carrying if you don't have the eitr to power them properly.

[tiny tiger]

Staff of frost arguably the weakest frost damage weapon fr

Possibly weakest mage weapon too, although I’m not sure what other mage weapons it would be contending with for weakest mage weapon

[tacit crystal]

You could try the combo of Wild and Frost staff. Slow the quicker enemies down while the vines is starting to slam them so they can't get away.

[tiny tiger]

That does sound like a great combo actually

[tacit crystal]

And it's also good against mobs with the weakness to frost damage (Bonemaw & Volture) and after enemies get wet.

[tepid prawn]

Yeah I m not the biggest fan of frost staff, its goat for leveling ele magic though

[charred arrow]

br members?

beginner players who are Brazilian?

[tacit crystal]

You could look out from or post to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 if you are searching for Brazilian people.

[rain flare]

Just jumping in here cause I love the magic builds, but each stav has a designated purpose / use

Embers is a general weapon and is good for pretty much everything

Ice is good for finishing off already weakened targets and leveling skills (and for punishing enemies who got wet)

Protection 🫧 is another all rounder as it’s your bread and butter as a mage (super squishy mage needs protection)

Wild staff is straight up op and an excellent panic button if you are fighting large groups of mobs or a boss

Skeleton summoner is good for distracting enemies from you and helps level blood magic

Trolls stav is your heavy duty mining tool and excels in clearing heavy hitting mobs (charred forts and bosses go boom)

Dundr is a great “get off me” tool for enemy mobs, and works nicely on bigger enemies (has good knockback on small mobs and has a good chance to stun enemies)

Fragment lava staff is good at stacking lots of fire damage over time once you master your accuracy (good on big targets or clustered enemies that are weak/neutral to fire)
Embers beats lava staff for crowd control though

[merry pebble]

Mornin gjall 😄

[rain flare]

Morning punchy boy 👋🥳

Fisted any dragons lately? 👀

And very important question actually…
Have you fisted the Fader to death?
I would think that would be quite the challenge 😂

[merry pebble]

I preffer the term punched, it leads to less missunderstandings 😉

[rain flare]

True true - apologies 😂😅

[merry pebble]

Iirc we did a math on that some time ago and it would either take so long it would not even be funny or outright impossible

[rain flare]

Perhaps I should say have you clobbered any scaly beasts as a better terminology? 😅🤭

[rain flare]

Oh shame…
Even with fenris claws?

That still counts as punching

[merry pebble]

That i don't know, but might be possible 😄

[rain flare]

We must investigate!

Our beloved dragon puncher must be able to defeat every scaly monster with bad breath! 😂

With his bear hands! 😂

🐻

[merry pebble]

I might very well try a run like that 😁 but not sure when i get around to it

[gray sand]

Pisted?
Funched?

😏

[merry pebble]

With those we would be going the other way in scale of missunderstandings i feel xD as most of people would see these words for the very first time

[gray sand]

Excellent. 😁

[void turtle]

I got full Eitr weave armor

[rain flare]

Nice!
That’s one of my favourite armors

[void turtle]

I was initially terrified of the armor stat, but it’s much better than I expected

I thought I’d get one shot by a seeker

[rain flare]

Weeell you might, if you pick a fight with a 2* 😂

[void turtle]

I also just encountered a 2 star gjall

[rain flare]

Nice! 🤩

[void turtle]

Somehow he didn’t notice me hiding under a ribcage and I made it home safely

[rain flare]

Nice!

[rain flare]

I love the mistlands for that
Most of the time you can go completely unnoticed by mobs if you just turn your wisplight off for a bit

I still want to convert a jotun into a base at some point

[brittle lance]

whats the best way to go about looking for a leviathan?

i cant seem to find a new one

[void turtle]

I went into the infested citadel, but the queen isn’t spawning

Never mind I found it

[rain flare]

Ehe- I think you just missed her in the smog 🤭

[rain flare]

You just have to sail the seas - you might get lucky, you might not

[void turtle]

Didn’t realise how huge the citadel was

[rain flare]

It’s chance based rng

[rain flare]

You do have the feather cape equiped by the way…? 👀

[void turtle]

I’m full wizard

[rain flare]

Otherwise you might just be a short trip from the top of the citadel to the bottom entrance 😅

[rain flare]

BROTHER!
Case fireball with me! 🤣😅

Always happy to see a full mage on the game 🤭

[void turtle]

Not even got my mage skill to 20 yet tho

I just wanted to get a feel for fighting the queen

I fucking love the queen

[rain flare]

She is epic! 🤩

We need a queen emoji in this discord ❤️

The queen and ||fader|| actually…

[brittle lance]

ok so im in the damn middle of the ocean and a sea serpant is atacking mw

[void turtle]

What happens if I save in the infested citadel?

[brittle lance]

i aint got the gear to kill it what should i do

what CAN i do

nvm i killed it but my boat is almost broken

[rain flare]

Nothing funny - you just come back where you left off

You will login without any rested buffs however, so I wouldn’t recommend it

[rain flare]

Well done man! 🤩

Sea serpents are one of the best foods in the game

And their scales make for an Excellent shield

[rain flare]

Time to head for shore and patch it up 😅

[brittle lance]

THERE IS ANOTHER ONE

its a storm 💔

[silent oriole]

i wonder if we gonna get a ||son|| someday

[rain flare]

Weeeeell…
We do have that trouble making ||sleeping child|| from the deep north which drive ||fader|| insane. 😅

He can be an honorary ||son||

[brittle lance]

update 1. i found a leviathan 2 there was no sea serpant

[rain flare]

I don’t know whether you are having excellent fortune, or the most rotten luck 😂

[silent oriole]

i am directly referencing the both dragons ||moder = mother and fader = father. or is this too farfetch'd? this was my headcannon, but i don't know what "language" valheim uses||

[silent oriole]

i am kinda sad that they are more or less famous in the game, yet || more or less totally useless. like.. when do u use the scale weapons 😂 ||

i guess an early bone knife or the spear is okay, but then.... meh
however the spear is great for feathers farming

[brittle lance]

do me a favour and check the ss chanel, i want a rating out of 10 on my trip

[silent oriole]

i seen it. i have 0 opinion on that

[brittle lance]

thats the best answer i could had gotten from you ngl 🙏

[silent oriole]

god, the server layout is horrendous.

why

[pliant hatch]

To avoid things getting lost in the clutter, perhaps?

[fervent robin]

Which is better between the Krom and Black Metal Sword?

[rain flare]

No no I getcha man

That is actually built into the lore - ||fader||’s severed head has a line apologising to ||moder|| about him going mad

[rain flare]

Shame man! 😂
They really had you running half way across the world for that! 😅

[void turtle]

What level should I get my magic skill for the queen?

[silent oriole]

i mean, i did her with like 15ish

[merry pebble]

Even with 0 you are good to go 🙂

[void turtle]

How do I make it not take 1 year?

[silent oriole]

level magic 😂

[merry pebble]

No, just use magic and bombs, very easy that way

[void turtle]

Ok

[brittle lance]

and i only found one 💔

how do i locate the elders altar?

[rain flare]

I would say any level is fine, but I had mine around 30 from farming

I used the ice staff to level up just a bit

Although honestly, with a magic build you should be more focused on mobility unless you find a spot to cheese the boss

[rain flare]

Broken towers in the dark forest have vegvisirs, burial chambers also have them

[void turtle]

I’m just trying to get it to not take 46 minutes

[royal seal]

how do I get vines?

what material do I need? the third gemstone, I assume? I've got bloodstone and iolite, used the latter to make a thundering Nidhogg. Do I need the green gem for the wilds staff?

[brittle lance]

thank y

[idle storm]

green gem and valkyrie feathers iirc

[royal seal]

gotcha. Any tips on fighting valkyries btw?

bc so far my strategy has been to lure them near dvergr and dodge till the dvergr eventually kill it. But then my two buddies got massacarred off-screen.

on that note, they kept killing asksvin there so maybe I should make an asksvin taming pit in that spot so I could get some eggs. Though i'd have to find a way to proof it against the countless creatures of the Ashlands.

[idle storm]

crossbow sneak attack takes about half their health with an Ashlands xbow, so if possible you should pull them from afar to an area you've already cleared to avoid adds.
After that staff of embers or frost for mage or bow/spear for non-mages (they're neutral to pierce, unlike most Ashlands mobs). Frost staff especially works well if you have enough eitr/ele skill because it slows them enough that you just have to walk backwards while firing and they'll never reach you.

If you do get adds focus on dodging, the valkyries attacks do quite a bit of friendly fire so she'll do most of the work for you

As for asksvin taming a terrain wall blocks most enemies except for lava blobs. That'll do until you get your first 2 eggs and can move your asksvin breeding somewhere safer.

[rain flare]

There are two types of vines

Ashvines for vineberries (they are red and have to be foraged from Ashlands structures)

And creeping vines (they are green, and can be bought from one of the traders)

Ah, you taking about the wild staff 😂

[royal seal]

I meant the wild staff :>

[rain flare]

Never mind me then 😅🤭

For valkaries, dundr works quite well

It knocks them back a bit, so it’s nice to push them away if you are in the middle of being attacked

That, or lots and lots of vines from the wild staff

I like to stack the vines and just run around near em so enemies stay in range

[royal seal]

that's been the one virtue of the Ashlands. The mobs hurting each other has been insanely useful. Getting a blob to blow up a hoard of undead? Warlocks burning each other? Perfection. That being said, everything is pointing me more and more towards crossbows :')

[idle storm]

It doesn't matter what your playstyle is, you should always carry a crossbow from Mistlands on imo. They're just too useful for pulling and against certain enemies like Gjall and Fallen Valkyries

Personally i don't bother with charred bolts (i need my ashwood for building, TYVM) but the mats for carapace bolts are easy to farm if you slap down a portal at an infested mine or two.

Also once you get your skill up a little you can just oneshot twitchers while running past, makes Ashlands travel a lot faster

[royal seal]

yeah, it's just the reloading that scares me so I stuck to Spinesnap instead of Arbalest

also my chestful of retired arrows.

[void turtle]

The queen wouldn’t be that hard if it weren’t for the seeker broods

How do I get them to spawn less?

[rain flare]

Sadly not
She spews them quite frequently

Best best is to blast them with the embers the moment she’s finished spawning them in

Should be doable with a shot or two as they often get quite bunched up

As for the regular seekers, there really isn’t a work around for them other than to blast ‘em

[rain flare]

Arbalest is great for long range
You have the thing primed and fire it off at big mobs in the distance

But that does slow you down while running, so you’re going to either have to put it away and stop just before a little way from your enemy so you can take the shot, or settle for a slower movement speed

[royal seal]

a good Embers shot should clear them

[void turtle]

My problem is theres so many that I don’t have enough Eitr to hurt the queen

[rain flare]

Ooooor you can go unga bunga mage build and just blast everything that moves with trolls, magic vines, and let your summons do the work

[royal seal]

in mines I usually throw two ember shots back-to-back to insta-spawn and insta-clear them

[royal seal]

I used my sword to slowly chip away at the queen, Embers only when she got too far. But then again, I mostly stayed in the entrance bc I was scared of her.

[rain flare]

What food you running?
Two eitr foods and something else or full eitr?

[royal seal]

my biggest issue was seekers constantly pushing me out of the dungeon 😭

and the Queen going upstairs and me not knowing there was an upstairs and she refused to come down.

[rain flare]

Happens a lot
Hence I summon skeletons 🤭

[royal seal]

I needed to have debugmode on because she also pushed me out of the map twice :')

[rain flare]

I liked the strategy of run up the stairs, float back down

Run up the stairs, float back down 😅

[rain flare]

Hey, that’s not fair! 😂

[void turtle]

Stuffed mushroom, seeker aspic and the food that uses all meat

Now I know the queen has a charge attack, scared the fuck out of me

[rain flare]

Me too the first time 😂

But it means you are getting close to killing her 🥳

[idle storm]

i usually just use embers staff while kiting her up and down the stairs. A few ooze bombs or bile bombs can help when you run out of eitr but they're not really necessary.
You'll definitely want eitr-weave for the regen bonus though.

[rain flare]

Oh boy 😂
Well I suppose that is for just incase your shield drops - the queen has a habit of bursting your bubble in one hit

[idle storm]

Alternatively you can just facetank her attacks on normal in upgraded carapace armor with Bonemass running. Eat HHE food, bring Mistwalker and some berserkir and healing mead and you can just hack your way through her hp before Bonemass power runs out.

[void turtle]

Shes at half health and my ember staff is almost broken because I miss half of my shots

[idle storm]

Go out, repair, come back. She'll regen some health, but hardly enough to matter if you don't sleep or waste time.

[void turtle]

Besides the seekers, the queen is my favourite boss so far

[rain flare]

She is a really big step up design wise 🥰

I love fighting her

[void turtle]

I love that she gets her own arena too

I also just like insects in games for some reason

Also her music is unnecessarily cool

[idle storm]

I liked Yag for the difficulty spike. First boss that doesn't give you huge breaks to attack in.

[thin sonnet]

i just walk when yag is doing the fire breath

looks funny as if i have ultra instinct

[idle storm]

Well yeah you can just cheese him by staying behind him because he turns so slow, but if you fight him the "intended" way he's a lot of fun.

[void turtle]

I hate yag because of lox

[thin sonnet]

then the tar balls spit at you

[void turtle]

Nice

[thin sonnet]

go to the bigger mountains biomes, then equip it

[void turtle]

I’m still fighting her

[celest acorn]

Day two of making the iron armor irl: yesterday I watched a video on how to make scale mail, and found a goldmine of info and amazon links… gonna look at those today

I’m gonna do some MORE research and work

[rain flare]

We will sing a song of Fetthål the unyielding, who fought her day and night for a week before she was slay! 😂🥳

[void turtle]

Literally been fighting her for three valheim days

[light moat]

Who, the Queen?

[void turtle]

Shes finally dead

[void turtle]

Yes

[split scaffold]

do mods generally work in MP?

[rain flare]

Well done! 🤩

Now we drink!

SKOL!!!

[void turtle]

I had to run back to base because my ember staff was the only thing keeping the seeker population down

[quasi latch]

#mods-discussion

[tacit crystal]

Missing the "å"?

[void turtle]

Definitely my favourite boss

Should I take my feather cape off for the Ashlands?

[nocturne wolf]

Never take your feather cape off!
Use barley wine, the resistance overrides weakness so you will be fire resistant while wearing the cape

Also don’t forget to bring lightfoot mead to get the most out of your floaty jumps

[void turtle]

I have to make more wine then because i chucked it

[idle storm]

There actually isn't all that much fire damage in the Ashlands anyway

Valkyries ranged attack, lava blobs, warlocks and Fader iirc

[tacit crystal]

Depends, Ashlands is much flatter area than Mistlands so it's not necessity, but it helps with jumping over lava.

[void turtle]

I’ll equip it when I need to

[idle storm]

If you're used to wearing it you'll probably die of fall damage alot more often than you die to fire

[heady parcel]

Lava blobs are everywhere on the other hand. But they are useful to break stuff!

[idle storm]

They're also incredibly easy to dodge or blow up from a distance, so once you know that they do blow up they're basically a non-issue. Especially if you're also running the bubble staff to catch any mistakes since the bubble isn't subject to weakness or resistance

[rain flare]

How dare you sir??? 😆

[void turtle]

I had no other use for it besides yagluth

[rain flare]

Or so you thought! 😆

LoL

[void turtle]

You think I plan ahead? I didn’t even bring any potions to the queen fight

[gleaming bridge]

Just killed yagluth completely fucked his ass and entered mistlands ehich was right next to the boss altar, got fucked by a 1 star gjall or whatever its called even with fire res potion lool

I found two dwarf outposts one being a tower tho, how do i craft the cape which makes me immune to fall dmg ?

[ember panther]

You'll need to get quite a few things. First you need to find am abandoned mine

[molten cave]

Yes, are you trying to get it to work on PC and with your PC friends? never tick crossplay option, justt tick start server, and your steam friends can join you through the steam friends list > Join game. All you have to do is use r2modman mod launcher and share your profile code with your friends n they can import all your mods and settings, all players have to be running the same mods

[gleaming bridge]

I found a mine with stairs to an entrance to it didnt enter yet

I have max padded armor idk if thats enough for it

[ember panther]

Take it slow n you should be alright. The only real threat are if they got starred enemies

And be careful taking your first steps inside, there's usually a hole right in front of the entrance

[gleaming bridge]

Gotcha

[void turtle]

Also take an atgeir to deal with ticks

They attach to you and suck you off, using an atgeir can make you not need to turn to get them

A fellow hunter I see

Can’t remember, I think most small monsters are different

No jagras or anything

[warm sandal]

Drakes can be a menace... you can avoid getting hit when they shoot ice at you...just walk out of harms way... have a bow handy, they are easier to kill with arrows than anything else

[void turtle]

Once you get wolf armor they’re mainly just a nuisance

[silent oriole]

valheim is a game that has the rule of thumb: a new enemy will most likely kill you in the first encounter

[void turtle]

If you get killed by a greyling you need to stop playing valheim

[quasi latch]

I had a friend die to a boar because she had no idea what the fuck she was doing. Some people learn differently from others.

[void turtle]

That’s fair enough, but greylings are a joke

[silent oriole]

there are people that are totally new to the game and encounter a 2 star greyling that onetaps them

especially when u dont really know that u have to block/parry, the first boar can easily just nuke you

[quasi latch]

Greylings can't have stars except via commands

[void turtle]

My experience playing nine sols taught me to parry very well

[ember panther]

My first introduction to valheim was dying in a fist fight with a greyling, no food and had no idea what i was doing

[silent oriole]

wait.
oh greylings are weaker versions of grey dwarves. yeah, idk. i thought about the bigger ones

[void turtle]

My first death was accidentally lighting myself on fire

[quasi latch]

I think mine was fighting a boatload of skeletons because I found a burial chamber right on the edge of the starting meadows. I managed to kill 1 or 2 before I died due to prolific dodge rolling.

[void turtle]

I’ve died significantly less since I got an Xbox series s

[quasi latch]

I should also mention that this was outside the burial chamber, not inside.

[void turtle]

If you’ve played valheim on an Xbox one, the framerate is A W F U L

[void turtle]

Skelly’s are strong when you first encounter them

[quasi latch]

Especially since you're probably using a spear

[gleaming bridge]

Does anything else than eitgeir work for taking them off?

[void turtle]

You can get them off by dodging, but the atgeir has a spin and they don’t have much health so the spin should kill them even with low skill

[ember panther]

Yeah dodge roll will remove them, and some swings will still hit em as they suckin you. I actually used knives cause they're weak to pierce and could take em out with one swing

[nocturne wolf]

If you mean the tankard, it just plays a long animation to slow you down when you drink. There’s no benefit to using it.

Idk

[quasi latch]

You can parry with a tankard as well

[nocturne wolf]

You can parry with anything else while drinking a mead directly

[quasi latch]

yeah, but the tankard is funnier

[rain flare]

It’s for the aesthetic of course! 😂

[ember panther]

It'd be nice if the tankerds had some unique effect aside from aesthetic though

[quasi latch]

It would be cool if there was an emote wheel for secondary attack so you could belch and whatnot after downing a cold one

[light moat]

Achievement idea: Parry with a tankard.
Bonus achievement: Parry with a horn of celebration

[heady parcel]

I still haven't died in Ashlands actually - the closest so far was from fall damage after I tried swapping out the feather cape - but then I have been taking it VERY slowly. I learned long ago the dangers of rushing headlong into a new biome, so doing my damndest to not repeat those mistakes...

Starred warrior was very close to ending me too, mistimed my roll and was down at 25 health. Smack!

But getting to flametal without taking bigger risks is looking impossible, so I'm likely to crank my death rate up soon. I'll miss my 100 swords and run skillz...

[royal seal]

how/where do y'all build your Ashlands bases? do you take over a fortress/citadel?

[heady parcel]

I am planning to do that once I find one, for now I simply raised a platform where I landed my ship and head out from there.

[idle storm]

First one is usually an outpost on one of the spikes, then a ring of terrain walls right on the beach, then a fortress

[royal seal]

oooh those are both pretty cool

y'all, idk if it's because the game was saving or something but I just repaired my nidhogg at my workbench??? Is... is that a known thing?

also my blackmetal pickaxe and flametal armour

[robust token]

Which weapon do yall prefer for Ashlands? Mistwalker or Silver Sword?

[ember panther]

My first playthrough i was hard invested in knives. So I used those +bubble just in case

This time I'll go in with magic... almost ready for it. Been on mists age for a while now trying to get my blood magic to 50

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker

[robust token]

Then I'm all set :D

[blissful cedar]

taking over a fortress with 3 layers of flametal doors on each entrance is very nice incredibly tanky!

[rain flare]

Always

[royal seal]

SS for valkyries, Mistwalker into thundering Nidhogg for everything else is what I'm doing

[brittle flower]

So what are your theories for the faders placeholder item? My theory is that because he is also called the emerald flame it could have something to do with the northern lights idk my theory is still missing things

[royal seal]

that actually sounds so cool

[heady parcel]

I've found that valkyries are best dealt with by dodging their purple spit and then greeting them with a sword secondary, then back away and avoid them until they spit stuff again, and repeat. Tried using the bow at first but I think just one of them ate more than half a stack of frost arrows.

[distant light]

anywhere where I can find an estimated time for the frozen n orth release?

[heady parcel]

No, there is none. You can find speculations all over the place, but the truth is nobody knows.

[rain flare]

No - cause the dev's have no idea on a release date either

[rain flare]

#memes-and-clips message

Best answer you're going to get at this time 😆

[distant light]

sadge, lol, thanks guys xD

[void turtle]

So I made it to the Ashlands and I can’t do anything because of voltures

[rain flare]

That is normal

[heady parcel]

Turtling and swiping them with mistwalker has been very effective for me

One hit slows them down so you can kill them before they swoop away

[void turtle]

I got them

[heady parcel]

I'm just grumpy I haven't unlocked any recipies with their meat or eggs yet. No cauldron update, so I assume I need fricking flametal for that too. RAAAAAH!

[gleaming bridge]

do i have to farm my magecap & jotun puffs in mistlands or can be anywhere

[heady parcel]

They only grow in Mistlands

[void turtle]

Can I put my level 3 padded armor back on for Ashlands?

[charred wing]

If you dont play modded then yes

[brittle flower]

Why couldnt you? Its not worth it but you can do it if you want

[void turtle]

It has higher defence than my Eitr weave

[brittle flower]

Oh why didnt you make carapace armor?

[charred wing]

Carapace armor is a safe bet

[charred wing]

Yeah exactly

[void turtle]

I was a wizard

[charred wing]

You can still use carapace armor. Just a tad bit longer eithir regen time then but id make that compromise

[void turtle]

I’ll try padded

Mainly because I don’t have the iron

[charred wing]

Tbh Ive played the game through atleast 70 times or so so i nowadays just go with wolfarmor for the rest of the game and save resources for building so going with padded armor is better than no armor and is a completely viable strategy

[void turtle]

I can’t do anything in the Ashlands

[heady parcel]

Yeah the welcome comittee is fierce. I strafed every damn spawner I could see while still at sea. Cost me stacks of arrows, but it made the landing a little less tressful

But as it turns out I have landed in a place with lots of mobs but few resources..

[rain flare]

jumping in here - cause that is honestly what most of us run into - you've got to prep, prep, prep, prep if you want to survive
Like Derleth said, landing is STRESSFUL
Took me 2 hours to get a spot in my main playthrough

Before you try and get to the ashlands, prep portal supplies
Prep basic base materials, and make yourself an outpost in the ashlands ocean (the ocean stacks are amazing for this)

Once you land, you've got to prep for each expedition inland - build campfires along your route to stop mob spawns or reduce them at the least
Carry an emergency portal and always keep your exit strategy in mind

This biome is by far the most unforgiving compared to everything else - but you will overcome it by applying all of the lessons that you've learned previously

[ember panther]

I find environmental challenges become pretty trivial as you progress, I'm really hoping deep north is a hostile environment just for being there. Like fires won't stay lit without shelter, frost resist does nothing, you are freezing and slowly ticking away life just for being out there no matter what

[rain flare]

No night trips, keep that rested buff up, fight small winnable battles and have escape plans to get out of jams

[void turtle]

There is no small winnable battles

[rain flare]

There are - but you've got to force the enemy to engadge you on your terms

Don't let the game dictate the terms of how you play it - you have all the tools you need to tip the balance in your favour

See a big open area with lots of mobs?
Lure a few over to you and slap em dead

Snipe em from secure positions - like Derelth said earlier

[heady parcel]

I've been in Ashlands two weeks now and haven't made it more than 500 meters in any direction from where I landed. Still haven't even gotten my hands on flametal...

[void turtle]

I can’t even kill 1 charred warrior

[heady parcel]

But I'm rather taking it slow than looking on as my skills plummet. As for warriors - frost arrows is key if you are not geared to take them on in melee. I have lvl 3 carapace armour and shield so I can parry the one starred - but the one time I mistimed the parry I nearly died, so yeah - they are safer to take out from a distance. Frost arrows make it impossible for them to reach you.

[void turtle]

I got a spawner

[gleaming bridge]

where could i place a port in mistlands to be safe

[rain flare]

Inside an abandoned dverger structure

[gleaming bridge]

@warm axle like the tower?

theres dvergers in thsi one that i found

[rain flare]

Wrong Sildar, but yes 👍

[gleaming bridge]

oh shit yeah lol thanks so muc

it doesnt letm e place a workbench anywhere here

[rain flare]

For towers that are occupied you need to break the ward

I'd recommend using a cart and just ramming it repeatedly until it breaks - you don't want to hit it with a weapon as that will make the dverger angry

[gleaming bridge]

i dont wanan do the thing where i use a cart, are they super hard if i aggro them?

[rain flare]

Depends on how many there are and if there are stared varients

Also, are there mages?
Those hit quite hard

[gleaming bridge]

yikes

omg just had my f irst 1 star soldier

i fucked his ass with parry

[merry pebble]

For Voltures you can just hold a torch in your off-hand 😉

[void turtle]

And they’ll fuck off?

[merry pebble]

Same as greydwarfs 😄

[void turtle]

I made myself invisible because there is no way of me progressing without

[merry pebble]

Oh there Is 😄 bit it Is a biome that should feel like full fledged battlefield

[void turtle]

I’ve already found fader’s spawn

[void turtle]

I’ll turn it off once I get a better weapon than my Frostner

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner is pretty good for the charred since they take 1.5x spirit damage

[gray sand]

Mistwalker better.

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword is better than mistwalker for them

[gray sand]

Facts.

[midnight marten]

Quick question: plants need open sky. If I place ladders instead of roofs, will that work?

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t think so but I haven’t tested it

[ebon raven]

hey anyone have experience using the adventure backpack mod?

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-discussion

[void turtle]

I upgraded my black forge, I’m gonna get the slayer and turn off invisibility

Then I’ll get askvin armor

[gray sand]

#memes-and-clips message

[heady parcel]

What the fudge, flametal already?

[void turtle]

I was lucky enough to find a flametal rock close to the land

[heady parcel]

Aaah ok, ah well, I saw that about invisibility too. I'm struggling on without, I don't mind taking it slow and careful..

[void turtle]

I find it very hard to take things slow, but I swear once I get the slayer I will never turn on invisibility again

Also the only reason I turned it on is because I don’t think I’m prepared enough for it

[heady parcel]

I have found two nodes so far, a good way into the lava. And every time I get close a morgen, or valkyr, or both or just a horde of charred come at me. Haven't had the chance to figure how to get out there

[nocturne wolf]

What equipment and food do you have?

[void turtle]

Level 3 padded, level 4 Frostner, level 2 carapace shield, a variety of staffs, and meat platter, cooked Volture, and onion

[nocturne wolf]

Your food is the main problem there

[void turtle]

I love onions

[nocturne wolf]

Not even onion soup though? Just raw onions

[void turtle]

My main problem is I’m shit at parrying now

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need to parry anything

[heady parcel]

Use the onions to make salad

[void turtle]

No

[ember panther]

Damn bro make some mistlands food. Misthare supremes and salads

[void turtle]

🧅

[ember panther]

Ogres man...

[heady parcel]

I go on cooked bonemaw, meat platter or chicken plus omelette or salad

[void turtle]

I may make some salads

If I must

[heady parcel]

Bonemaws keep aggroing on my ship so I have a steady supply

[quasi latch]

Hear me out, there's a way to eat onions AND have Mistlands-tier food. The lineup is onion, onion soup, bukeperries, and then 3 Mistlands foods of your choice.

[ember panther]

Salads are great value cause you get 3 per cook. Easy to make lots. Just puffs, clouds n onions

[nocturne wolf]

Better food is going to be much more helpful than a better weapon. Especially since that better weapon likely uses a lot more stamina that what you use currently.

[void turtle]

You make a solid point, I’m planning to have the slayer as my main weapon, so I should get some salad

[gleaming bridge]

if i bring a stojnecutter near a dwarf tower can i reconstruct it

[azure yacht]

yes

[tacit crystal]

Usually yes, but Ashlands weapons use as much stamina as Mistlands weapons (of the same weapon type).

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner does less than mistlands weapons though, especially less than a 2h sword

[void turtle]

I managed to get some jade, so I guess I’m making the primal slayer

[nocturne wolf]

Make klossen, the jade mace. Jade's effect relies on RNG and the knockback can keep you safe if it fails

After the enemy is immobilised, swap to the sword and attack them from behind

[void turtle]

Forgot about that

[tacit crystal]

Klossen.

[void turtle]

I don’t like how thick the thunder slayer is

Have to say, the Ashlands is awesome when it’s not literally just Doom.

[heady parcel]

Visual design on everything and the ambience are absolutely fantastic, the music and storm when you approach in the drakkar was so bloody epic, top gaming moment!

[void turtle]

With how many enemies there are, I might just get the brutal slayer

[nocturne wolf]

Iolite weapons are great for groups of enemies. They have a chance () to create a lightning projectile that moves between enemies.

[void turtle]

They all seem so good, bloodstone makes you stronger when lower health, iolite gives you chain lighting, jade gives you rooting, I love this system and I haven’t even tried it

[nocturne wolf]

Bloodstone is generally weakest of the three

[void turtle]

Interesting

[heady parcel]

Weird mechanic to me. In a place when most mobs hit so hard, lingering at low health does not feel very tempting. So is it useless when at max health, or just weaker?

[nocturne wolf]

Damage increases by 0.2% for every point of health you have missing, so at max health it does nothing.

[void turtle]

Should’ve been like 0.5% or 1%, that’d make it more appealing

[tacit crystal]

They look cool tho.

[nocturne wolf]

The one thing it does right is not relying on rng

[gray sand]

Or should have been something different entirely. 🤷‍♂️

[void turtle]

Could’ve been a bleed that does an amount of damage depending on the enemy’s health like Venom’s ultimate in marvel rivals

[gray sand]

We already have fire and poison weapons if you want DoTs.

[royal seal]

why do my asksvin keep climbing each other? is that normal? can they fall out of the enclosure because of this?

[near furnace]

1. because they can
2. yes
3. yes

[void turtle]

I climb on the lads

[royal seal]

how high should I make it 😭 It's 3 high, all stone.

[gleaming bridge]

whats the best way to set up a jute and blue thing farm? i havea portal near a mine i cleared and that area seems safe

[gray sand]

Best is subjective.

[gleaming bridge]

ill take your subjective opinion

[void turtle]

What do you need jutes for to need a farm?

[heady parcel]

A what farm?

[nocturne wolf]

Jute and blue things

[gray sand]

Infinite farms due to exploiting respawn mechanics are against the soul and purpose of crafting survival games and therefore should not be made.

[void turtle]

Jutes like from cultists and dvergrs

[gleaming bridge]

lmfao i meant jotun and the magecap

i was about to say magpie but had to actually look ingame

[void turtle]

Ohhhh lmao

[heady parcel]

Aaah right, was not aware those could be consistently farmed somehow. Not that I'd care. I did build a greydwarf pit on one world just to try it, but I don't have patience to stand afk and let it work. I prefer running around killing stuff myself.

[void turtle]

You can make a farm in the mistlands

[void turtle]

Me too

[heady parcel]

Just find a patch of flat ground you can cultivate, pen it in and set up a portal nearby. If you find a good place bordering to other biomes you can use that, since you'll have less seekers causing problems.

[gleaming bridge]

i set up a ghetto farm next to a dwarf outpost, havent seen an enemy here in a minute so hopefully i wont get fucked

@heady parcel noted thank U

[heady parcel]

Just make sure you don't have more than a workbench and the portal, so you don't get raids while tending to the shrooms.

[tacit crystal]

Oops, well sometimes I say jute when I mean flax lol.

[void turtle]

Sometimes I say jute when I’m referring to Ashlands

[gray sand]

Flax is red jute.
Barley is blue jute.

[vocal rivet]

Also known as the best enchant.

[vocal rivet]

That makes no sense.

[void turtle]

And saying jute when you mean flax does

[vocal rivet]

Is what?

[tacit crystal]

He refers to my reply. #valheim-chat message

[vocal rivet]

Confusing two types of plant fibre is a long way from confusing one from a biome.

[void turtle]

I had no idea jute was a plant, I was joking because jute and flax sound so different, and jute and Ashlands also sound different

[celest acorn]

DAYLY REMINDER!! Get the rocky plush before it goes away FOREVER!!! (In 4 days)

[gleaming bridge]

is the mistwalker worth it for mistlands

[idle crane]

heck yeah

[celest acorn]

Yes, 100%

[gray sand]

No, 0%.

[idle storm]

Not really, it's not that much of an upgrade over frostner vs seekers imo. Great for Ashlands though.

[tepid prawn]

agree to disagree? damage is much higher than frostner because you don't get the knockback that breaks your combos

[tiny tiger]

Hate to agree but after not using Mistwalker for ages and then finally switching to it it is superior to frostner in almost every single way

The slow effect works a lot better on swords

Frostner is aesthetically and audibly more appealing imo tho

However I did only upgrade to Mistwalker in Ashland’s and found the frostner perfectly suitable all the way to early Ashland’s before I upgraded to flametal

[gray sand]

Not to mention 1-handed swords don't have MTP 🙂

[cyan tangle]

whats MTP?

[tiny tiger]

Multi target penalty

The damage from the weapon is spread out between targets

Example sword hits 2 enemies, both enemies recieve 100% damage, mace hits 2 enemies, both enemies recieve 66% damage (i think)

Damage is further reduce with maces per Target for each extra Target too

[gray sand]

Something 1-h swords don't have, but should.
And something 2-h swords have, but shouldn't.

🙃

[tepid prawn]

if you get my precious silver sword nerfed...

[cyan tangle]

is it bad if I skipped the silver sword? I just went iron until i got the black metal one

[tepid prawn]

its the best weapon in the game available at the time you kill Yagluth with normal progression for killing that boss

[cyan tangle]

even better than the black metal sword?

shouldn't that one be the upgrade from silver?

[tepid prawn]

for that particular boss, much better than bm sword

because of how the spirit damage works

it can also work super well for the monsters who are vulnerable to spirit damage in ashlands, though comparable to the mistlands sword as well in damage, but uses also less stamina

But you don't HAVE TO min/max either, I skipped iron mace for bonemass and killed it with iron sword, Bonemass is resistant to slash, I still killed it just took longer

[cyan tangle]

yeah giveng how the skill system works i'd like to stick to one or two weapon type if possible

[gray sand]

Define "how the skill system works"?

[cyan tangle]

more or less the usual, stick to one weapon type and your damage with that weapon willl improve over time

[gray sand]

True, but the game isn't balanced around skill levels.
They literally just "free stats"

[unkempt parrot]

Does anyone know what lightning damage does?

[gray sand]

Damage.

[unkempt parrot]

Alright thank you

[gray sand]

👍

[cyan tangle]

well that's more or less how i like playing given the system

[gray sand]

Parry their attack and smack them.

Yes?

[merry pebble]

Parry just means blocking right before enemy lands a hit 🙂

Sell them or make decorative treasure chests, and the mountain needs to be taller than certain height to heve the next metal you will want 🙂

[livid widget]

oh balls

[rain flare]

Sell them…? Sell them???

I don’t think so. 😂

[merry pebble]

Meh, i dont use them for the decore so money Is more useful 😁

[tacit crystal]

Lightning is the only elemental damage type that adds stagger to targets afaik.

[noble swallow]

I've been playing mostly small group co-op playthroughs, but what is the larger public server scene like for Valheim? Seems there's quite a bit of mods out and the experience can be tailored quite a bit to larger playerbases

[heady parcel]

#mods-discussion Ask in there and you'll get better answers 🙂

[dense notch]

Me and my fellow bros just made progress into the swamp and got ourselves some turnip to upgrade the cauldron, what would be the best foods to make now? Sausages and Turnip stew?

[merry pebble]

Yep, + carrot soup or dear stew as cost efficient third foods depending if you want more stamina or health, or there Is also black soup and muck shake but i don't really like using them

[dense notch]

Why? What's wrong with muck shake/black soup? or is it personal preferences. I have a good carrot farm going for 3 of us so I think I can make carrot soup but I thought higher level recipes would be better.

[merry pebble]

Too cost heavy for my taste 🙂 i find it easier to just go with carrot soup which i can make loads of

Nothing wrong with them per se

[dense notch]

I don't really have much use for carrots so I suppose that'd be a pretty decent idea, thanks.

Now how will I get more mushrooms

[merry pebble]

You mark clusters on the map and once in a while you go for a gathering run 😄

[dense notch]

which biome would be best for mushroom farming?

[merry pebble]

Meadows imo, black forest can work too

[dense notch]

When should you upgrade tools/armor? Is it okay to skip a stage or is that not possible?. Like if I currently run a full bronze armor, can I upgrade it to max and use it to fight bonemass and skip straight to silver after? Iron seems to be used for a lot of stuff.

[molten cave]

i rememember making the recipes for the muckshake and eyescream or whatever its called cheaper than its better to use

[merry pebble]

You can skip, but you will have a bit harder time progressing, generally lvl 4 armour from one biome Is equivalent to lvl 1 from the next one 🙂

[merry pebble]

Muckshake need 3 ingredients and all of them you need to gather, so i choose stuff i can farm, tho i usually make ať least a bit of eyescream 🙂

[molten cave]

i dont like cheaping out on stamina food, i made 1 freeze gland make like 3 eyescream at once

farming freeze glands sounded like a chore when you have to deal with the wolves, wolf raids and the tanky golems

[nocturne wolf]

Use an iron mace and those golems won’t feel tanky any more

[merry pebble]

I use SSH diet so 10 more stamina eyescream would give me Is really not that noticable 🙂

[molten cave]

i like parrying everything but those guys hit like a tank and sometimes yeet me off the mountains

[molten cave]

i might have to do that but i play using CLLC on hard mode with max 5 star creatures 😭

[merry pebble]

Ah, mods

[molten cave]

yeah the vanilla difficulty just adds health and damage

mods can make harder difficulty more rewarding and fun

[vocal rivet]

Literally thousands.

Oh, to find a server to play on, you can look in #1024264966712340510

Well, people play at different times of the day so they might not always reply straight away.

[rain flare]

Yeah for those I jump on their heads so I just stay away from the edge of the mountain 😂

On a happy note, I finally got all the Ashlands weapons I want

Primal crossbow and spear, blood slayer, storm zerker axes and bow, as well as a nice tower shield to go with my ||Drynwyrn||

[odd marsh]

i remember mining them as if they were a resource

[undone forum]

The only time I really skip is the silver stage and make sure I have enough iron for padded and then get a fully upgraded ||Draugr Fang|| because that is a must for me

[dense notch]

I'm gonna need a lot of iron it seems.

[idle storm]

Not really. I mean you will, but not for armor
Root armor will last you through swamp and early mountains easily until you get wolf armor so there's little need to craft the iron one.
The only iron gear i craft is usually the pickaxe, the mace and the banded shield.
Fenris easily lasts you all the way through Ashlands once you learn to use it, so if you're not married to heavy armor it's worth a try too.

The atgeir is worth it too if you use them but i'm more of a shield fan

[undone forum]

Iron will be used all the way through the mistlands, not too much beyond unless it’s for wood iron beams

[thorny panther]

Mistlands spoilers

||I'm playing in a multiplayer server that's gearing up to fight the Queen for the first time. None of us had seen anything past Yagluth before starting this server. We have food, fully upgraded weapons, fully upgraded armor, mage stuff, and meads all ready to go, but I still feel like we're not ready.||

||Going into Yagluth it felt like we could safely explore the Plains and attack Fuling camps at our own leisure. But looking at the Queen now feels different. Infested Mines are still hard and 2-3 Seekers at once almost always has people dying.||

||Is it that they improved the power scaling or should we wait? The problem with waiting is we've been to multiple Mistlands and feel like there's nothing more we can currently do.||

[rain flare]

Realistically, you are probably over prepared 😂
Go find her and say hello

You’ll find out very quickly whether you are overprepared

[steel copper]

A group will makes things easier if you have a mage and warrior mix.
Same rules apply to most bosses, keep your distance, make beds outside entrance and use bonemass

[thorny panther]

Ok thanks

[frigid gust]

A technique that might make it easier: ||Switch out your chest pieces for the Root Harnesk, especially if you're using Carapace and not running a mage build. Just carry some fire resist potions with in case of Gjall. Also remember Seekers resist all physical damage, so ooze and bile bombs, and elemental weapons like the Mistwalker and Frostner are stellar.||

[rigid copper]

||Shields help a bunch make sure to max your gear and armour, for warrior builds use Carapace shield, and Mistwalker||,

||group use bone mass and regroup for another person to active it every 5 mins, 4 people can allow you to have Bonemass buff perpetually up if done right||

|| for mages same thing applies when it comes to armour, use fire staff ||

Just dont get greedy take your time

[void turtle]

I got the slayer

[robust token]

Recently I went trying full Fenris Armor with a hybrid build, all 3 types of food, Staff of Protection for health bubble, and Sword and Shield as weapons. Mainly go with agility. I wonder anyone else have interesting builds too?

[nocturne wolf]

Why would you need health food if you also have staff of protection?

[robust token]

cause I can only cast a bubble at once

but that's a good point, should I just replace with stamina food?

[nocturne wolf]

Stamina or eitr, or maybe a feast if you've defeated the queen.

[robust token]

alrightly

[verbal mist]

so many great mods for this game, 500h+ and still going lol

[undone forum]

Valheim is one of the few survival games that are replay-able most survival games aren’t that replay-able (or at least the ones that I have played) even in vanilla

[void turtle]

For some reason, after I got the slayer, the Ashlands fear me

[merry pebble]

Never felt the need for any mods even after thousand hours 🤷‍♂️

[idle storm]

Pretty much this. I might give them a shot when i'm bored of vanilla, but it hasn't happened yet

[steel copper]

mostly due to procedual generation of the massive MASSIVE map which always makes it feel like a new adventure

[undone forum]

Exactly

[steel copper]

I think they should change how the map is unveiled because my OCD I need to uncover every island I reach and it means constantly looking at the map instead of the enviroment plus I sprint around the island first which makes me missed stuff.
But without a map I can't see where stuff.
I think the whole map should be uncovered but the biomes are hidden so you can see all the islands but not what biomes they have

[heady parcel]

TIL that I can get tamed wolves to follow, so now I have my house full of cute little fluffs that get in my way. ❤️

[ember panther]

Yes my main base is overrun with wolves. They self feed themselves by taking out deer boar n necks

And they LOVE getting in the way. Just like my dog

[merry pebble]

Wolf AI is very realistic in that way, that is for sure 😄

[heady parcel]

DANGIT! Night-spawned seeker group wreaked havoc on my fluff pack, only got two left. Blasted bugs, got to mount a retaliatory strike into Mistlands now. And it is probably time to try and get a two-star wolf.

[undone forum]

It was time to get a two-star a long time ago

[heady parcel]

Maybe, haven't really paid attention to the fluffs since I tamed them, never needed them for anything really. Just tamed them because, well, because.

But now that they were milling about the base being cute I loved having them around, so I need stronger ones so next seeker incursion doesn't end them..

[ember panther]

My world has higher raid frequency so I like my 1* wolves. Got them super early, like before even going to the swamp and they've kept me and my base safe

[void turtle]

Why are no more lox spawning?

[vocal rivet]

Presumably not enough non spawn protected Plains to spawn in.

[void turtle]

Non spawn protected?

[vocal rivet]

Areas that are not within of base items that prevent spawn.

[void turtle]

I’m in large plains and the only thing I’ve built is a portal and workbench near the coast

[vocal rivet]

Hm, then there should be Lox spawning. Are you sure they're not?

[void turtle]

Been running around the plains, literally zero lox

[vocal rivet]

Running any mods?

[tiny tiger]

lol

[vocal rivet]

How did THAT happen?

[void turtle]

I’m on Xbox

[tiny tiger]

Did autocorrect

[void turtle]

Other enemies are spawning btw, deathsquitos and fulings

[tiny tiger]

Damn autocorrect got me too

I’m too tired after work to remember what that was even meant to be

[heady parcel]

Could be random, sometimes they don't spawn for a while. Kill off other stuff in the area and just run a few laps around the plains and they should pop in somewhere.

[vocal rivet]

Running any mods?

[void turtle]

You can’t on Xbox

[vocal rivet]

They're unlikely to have hit the mob limit.

[void turtle]

Does dropped items affect it?

[vocal rivet]

Not at all.

[tiny tiger]

Try rejoining world maybe?

[void turtle]

Finally got two

[vocal rivet]

The server might have.

Eh just RNG then.

[void turtle]

I’m in a solo world

[vocal rivet]

You didn't specify, but fair enough.

It IS only a 5% chance every time so it can happen.

[void turtle]

My bad

[unreal bloom]

biggest mistake was me building my starter base around elevated ground…now that i have build stone walls around it i had to terraform the area outside my base for 6 hours already and i’m still not finished…,

[frigid gust]

Build stairs and just leave it alone?

[unreal bloom]

nah it looks shitty if the walls are lower then the surrounding area 🙂 and i can’t raise the walls because then they would look way to huge from
inside my base xD

[void turtle]

I like fighting morgens

[heady parcel]

They are pretty fun. Valkyries too, although blobs, asksvin and charred joining the fun out of nowhere is always a menace

Whenever I get a morgen they all seem to come at once

At least you can trick blobs to take out the weaker mobs

[void turtle]

I found that two handed weapons are shit against them

[merry pebble]

Just get close and once they shrink, roll 🙂

[void turtle]

I haven’t fought a Valkyrie yet, but I see them in the sky, they look so cool

[void turtle]

It’s because of parrying

[merry pebble]

I mean blobs 😄 no need to parry those since they just die on their own, but now that i am reading it again you were probably reffering to morgens or some of the other mobs

[void turtle]

I was referring to morgens

I find that I don’t have the block strength to parry their arms

But with a shield I can do it hitless

[nocturne wolf]

Their swipe attacks have a low hitbox and they can't turn during this attack. Jump to the side and hit them a few times.

[void turtle]

I just discovered if you use the eikthyr power and have the askvin cloak on and run in the wind direction your stamina doenst reduce

[nocturne wolf]

You can also use eikthyr power for 0% jump stamina

[void turtle]

I’ve been trying to decide wether I should use the askvin cloak or ashen cape

[oak rivet]

Is it just me or the hitboxes are clunky as hell sometimes you hit and sometimes not

[near furnace]

you fighting in slopes?

[ember panther]

Depends on the weapon

[oak rivet]

No in a cave which is the same i guess xd

[near furnace]

the game have problems when you are fighting something very high up or below you

[nocturne wolf]

The game has no problems here, only the players not knowing how to fight properly

[oak rivet]

Since i began the exploration of mistlands it bothers me soooo much

[near furnace]

it's a known limitation sadly

[oak rivet]

Even when you use a bow, the arrow is slightly off the center like why

[void turtle]

Not very, slightly

[void turtle]

Embrace the wizard, you may as well for the queen

[oak rivet]

I want to try being a mage before making a real judgement on combat

[void turtle]

The staff of embers is hard to put down

[merry pebble]

You will unlock it in sixth biome 🙂

[oak rivet]

Im in it, kinda harsh but im managing it if there are no slopes neither clunky walls lmao

[steel copper]

no matter if I have 10x resources I still need 20-30 carts of stone to build a stone castle 😦

and not even a big one

[void turtle]

Now that I have full ask armor and the thunder slayer, the Ashlands is awesome

Wow, didn’t think that was what would get me a warning

[merry pebble]

Why didnt you?

It wasn’t that bad

Just sounds like someone forgot to bring demolisher, iron sledge, staff of embers etc hahaha

Pro tip:

Return to your main menu, select your world, select your world modifiers and turn "no build cost" on.

It saves you from lots of hauling stone.
Once the castle is done, do the same thing to turn it off again and play the game as if nothing happened.

Good idea but I wonder if some people do not have the discipline to turn it back off haha which might affect their future adventures, we have a server with no build cost for this and a normal server with standard settings, so there is at least a differentiation between the 2.

Those people are weak

Sort of agree but you have to also keep them in mind, I even make myself special rules outside of world modifiers that I need to follow in game

I dont want NO build cost, that's feels like cheating, I want to collect stone and build a castle but I don't want to collect 50,000 - 100,000 stone

[silent oriole]

build a small castle 😂

[steel copper]

it is relatively small

Swords are nice to use in close quarters because they still do full damage even if they hit walls or multiple targets

Ooze bombs as well, depending on which dungeons you're talking about

I won't call those people weak.

Not everyone is able to play Valheim when returning home from work or even at work.
Which means not everyone is able to collect a few 100K in stone for the buildings they have in mind. So for them that option is a god-send.

I also don't see it as cheating.
The option is there, the Dev's put it there for (imho most likely) that particular reason, which means using the cost is a valid way to build stuff.
Besides, if you demolish things you won't get your resources back if you use that modifier; so there's no infinite amount of stone, wood or metals available for other things.

One wall, two towers 10000 stone

There is another option, however, which is more like a game glitch. Not sure if it's intended or not, but with the resource modifiers you can basically dupe stone while using the hoe.
