valheim-chat

[silent oriole]

my dude be surrounding feudal china right there 😂

[frigid gust]

Those small blocks are a lot less efficient use of stone, even if they make things slightly more stable and resistant to one piece being destroyed (and look better). If you want to efficiently build large stone walls, use the 6-stone 2m x 4m walls

[pliant hatch]

IMHO those blocks are fugly, though

[steel copper]

they look nicer on towers

[silent oriole]

just go to ashlands and take over a fortress, castle done, boom

[frigid gust]

Yup. But if you're complaining about the amount of materials required then it's an option 😉 I use them for infrastructure a lot, where they aren't directly visible.

[steel copper]

big stone bricks for walls small bricks for building and towers

[silent oriole]

if looks is something you actually care about, some big stones between the more or less perfect pattern would add texture to it

[void turtle]

How about just get a stack of stone and turn build cost off so you feel like you got the resources

[steel copper]

problem is I've not even start cosmetic stone building which cost even more stone. This is just a blank castle canvas before I add details with arches and shit

[pliant hatch]

Only time I use them are for my basement walls, or for the foundation of stone bridges. But the moment the walls get above a surface they're all using the "common" blocks.

[void turtle]

The only stone building I’ve used is a stone floor

[frigid gust]

Stone is nice because until you get to the extremes of the stability any wood attached to it is equivalent to being attached to ground

[steel copper]

my favourite things to do is explore and build but I HATE resource gathering because it takes so long and you barely get 1/10 of what you need

[merry pebble]

Thats what the no cost mode is for tho 😄

[frigid gust]

That's why I run 1.5x resource multiplier, and portal metals. I've played a lot, and I'm old with other responsibilities and don't have time for that grind no more 😉

[languid snow]

is the battle axe worth it?

[frigid gust]

10/10 cool factor, 4/10 usefulness

[steel copper]

even x5 wouldn't be enough and I don't want x1.5 or 3 on all resources just stone

[frigid gust]

Maybe 9/10. Crystal Battleaxe is 10/10

[steel copper]

its fun, worht it? depends on if you like it

[silent oriole]

aren't battleaxes insanely bad for what they offer?

[tepid prawn]

yes and no, it feels very different and fun, but you have to wait till iron to get it, and the currently best one is the silver one, which can do some stuff to some ashlands mobs, but its a big gap not having a plains or higher version

[steel copper]

good for cutting down trees

[frigid gust]

They're slow and somewhat difficult to use as weapons, but they're nice because it can sometimes be used more effectively as a weapon than the one-handed axes while also chopping wood.

[tepid prawn]

also the silver tier looks stunningly beautiful, and the attack animations look powerful and satisfying and one of the single target attacks has good reach

[frigid gust]

Yup. Best weapon to hang on the wall 😉

[tepid prawn]

and it also gives you axe skill to use it, useful to have that high for goat axes in ashlands

[frigid gust]

Yeah. I like using it when I'm having to go back for iron. Again.

[tepid prawn]

Ah yeah iron, its not too bad really, all you need is like 4000 of that. 🤣

[frigid gust]

Plus my latest build has used quite a bit of wood, so I need to go get that fairly often. It'll catch the greydwarves in the arc as I harvest the trees there 😉

I like building up high #screenshots message

[tepid prawn]

I try not to use wood for coal, that helps

[frigid gust]

I've only found one surtling spawner so far in this world, that limits things 😦

[tepid prawn]

Thats high and fun, I like swamp treehouses, what if a Berserker hits those pillars or do they have earth walls to protect?

[pliant hatch]

I used the 3x resource modifier when mining copper. Saved me from mining the big pits as scraping off the top was enough and still ended with enough stone to build what I had in mind.
Later turned it down to the 1,5x modifier, as you quite often get 2 pieces of everything that used to drop 1 item under normal conditions.
And I still run out of wood every once in a while.

[tepid prawn]

Mining copper with ashlands "gear" is soooo much fun

[frigid gust]

I go out and fight them. There's nothing near the pillars that the enemies might want to attack so it's not really a target. Only thing I need to do is just keep Lox away

But since it's up that high most things are out of range and can't detect you so it's not even a concern

[pliant hatch]

Could be, but it's not possible when I'm in the bronze age....

[tepid prawn]

this is true, I like to alternate between mining the top only and digging out the whole lot, depending on the cycle the moon is in, the humidity and temperature xD

[silent oriole]

my issue with any two handed in this game is that game a) relies too much on blocking and parrying imo and b) does not give those weapons a substantial upside

[pliant hatch]

And whether or not you sacced virgi... goat?

[tepid prawn]

Some 2h work well though with weaving in and out of range, did it with Krom

Killed a 2 star seeker naked with it because all my gearsets were in that mine haha

[silent oriole]

well, all should have a substantial upside to them

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it's difficult to parry with them. The only two-handers I really consistently use are the atgeirs because of their huge spin stagger and the crazy usefulness of piercing damage

[tepid prawn]

personally see 2h hammers and atgeir more as AOE weapons of mass destructions instead of "2H weapon"

[silent oriole]

like, i am speaking about atleast having 1.5x damage over one handed counterparts or smth

[frigid gust]

The big arc of damage of the axe to hit multiple enemies kind of makes up for that compared to the one-handed ones

[silent oriole]

yeah those are totally fine. i think krom and the fire sword are also cool. axes... meh

[tepid prawn]

I did battle axe playthrough (mostly that weapon not 100% exclusive) a few months ago, was good

[frigid gust]

Plus there's no multitarget penalty with the battleaxes,~~ where there is with the one-handed ones.~~ It's very much designed for crowd management.

Wait... I could have sworn axes had a multitarget penalty? Wiki says they don't...

[silent oriole]

wish they had on the first sight useful perks

[livid zenith]

I think the secondary attack has no MTP but the primary attack does

[oak rivet]

I feel like the game actually starts at the mistlands, much more weapon types are unlocked

[frigid gust]

Ehh... you slowly get weapon types unlocked the whole time. Swords and atgeirs at bronze, battleaxes and ooze bombs at iron, elemental damage/spirit damage and the flesh rippers at silver, but the Mistlands is definitely the largest drop of new weapons and mechanics. Kind of makes up for basically nothing new in the Plains.

[steel copper]

can someone give me some stones

[silent oriole]

go do dark forest, look for funny looking wood dudes. they throw stones at you

[frigid gust]

You can enable console commands and spawn them in. If anyone is giving them to you that's all they'll do anyway. Or go mine some rocks in the Meadows or Black Forest, those are usually fairly accessible. Mining out some Copper will often leave a ton of rock as well.

[steel copper]

I've been collecting stones for some long some of them now have funny faces

SERIOUSLY I am going mad...?
or are these stones looking me

[silent oriole]

aren't those huge ass rocks around yagluth breakable fairly fast and give like 1 billion stone?

[steel copper]

I'm only at swamp

[livid zenith]

All the plains pillars do

[silent oriole]

ok

[livid zenith]

There’s a pet rock that is made with the rock item that sometimes replaces a pickupable stone

That has eyes

[silent oriole]

ah yes, the pet rock update where devs broke the translation for rocks 😂

worth it

[thorny panther]

Will ooze bombs affect allies (or tamed animals) in its vicinity? Or only enemies?

[frigid gust]

Just enemies. It's super handy like that.

[supple yoke]

Who down to play valheim with me

[pliant hatch]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.
Just keep in mind it may take some time before you get a reply in there.

[light moat]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👀

Oh shoot, @frigid gust playing Valheim again? 👀

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, copied the wrong link.
Thx for the correction. 🙂
I put the right link in. 😉

I think it means I should head to bed at 3AM. No other explanation for my brain not working anymore.

[frigid gust]

Sometimes 😉

[gray cairn]

Hey, guys, how do yall spot your rockies? I keep looking 5m above sea level, 1km from spawn, but never find a stone named "rock" or that looks any different.

Ik it's prolly just bad luck, but I'm wondering if there's a trick or if they're just super rare.

[celest ravine]

can you report someone for their server name

[oak cloud]

its light grey and bigger , found mine in th blackforest , probably easyer to see because there almost no vegetation

[languid snow]

i got like a genuine question why did they like jump up swamp difficulty like i find ashlands and mistlands so much easier then swamp

[gray sand]

They didn't.
That is very much a "how you feel about it" thing. 🤷‍♂️

[tiny tiger]

Swamp introduces a lot of things that make the game harder such as the constant wet debuff and enemies that inflict much deadlier poison

it serves as a gate where the player needs to learn about more mechanics such as poison and frost resistant meads

If there were no jumps in difficulty there would be no challenge to overcome

[languid snow]

oh that makes sense

[tiny tiger]

Before swamps most players can largely ignore interacting with the mead system but after that it’s a lot more helpful

[brittle flower]

i never make meads unless its a bossfight, hell i usually eat easy foods like cooked meats and honey. Im too cheap

[tiny tiger]

I like to splurge on food but I’m likewise with meads up until about plains

Being able to parry because I’ve got enough health is nice

[rain flare]

It very much is

And it’s nice to cook lots cause raising your cooking skills gets you free food quite frequently 🥰

I actually got a free ||fader bell|| from crafting the other day. Which was very nice ❤️

[brittle flower]

i have been taking things slowly in my new world
I killed eikthyr at day 10
elder at day 40
bonemass at day 70

then i felt that maybe i should rush things a bit

its now day 72 and im about to kill the moder when i get home ☠️

should i use poison or fire arrows?

[gray sand]

Obsidian.

[brittle flower]

well if high pierce works the best i guess its needles then

[heady parcel]

Slow is relative, I killed the Queen on day 1,000 or so, Yag around 700-ish. It is not about the goal, it is about the journey 😄

[rigid cypress]

hello chat can someone help me with the Bonemass boss would be nice

[outer epoch]

Try #1024264966712340510 .

Or #valheim-help if you're looking for strategic advice. 🙂

[brittle flower]

Yeah i meant slow to my usual runs i usually best yagluth on day 70 and queen on day 100

[void turtle]

Is fader gonna be a pain?

[rain flare]

Depends on how much you move your feet

He incorporates several aspects of previous bosses (minions, massive AOE attacks, and some new mechanics) which will prove challenging if you don’t good at thinking on your feet

[void turtle]

I’m in the Ashlands at day 146

[void turtle]

Will my thunder slayer do good?

[rain flare]

Slayers are good yes - and thunder is a great option if lightning pops to deal with minion spawns

Just make sure you have an escape strategy in place if you need a breather

[void turtle]

I love greatswords

[void turtle]

Eikthyr power and ask cape should get me out of anything bad, literally gives you no stamina drain

[heady parcel]

I'd use my Krom way more if it didn't have multi target penalty. That is really bollocks tbh

As is it is nearly useless for everyday use, but a decent pick for bosses

[void turtle]

If my friend ever gets valheim I’m only using two handed weapons

[void turtle]

I would’ve gotten it if the queen didn’t resist physical

[rain flare]

Still have the secondary to deal with single targets - it’s the same on great axes like crystal

Dual wielded weapons with no multitarget would be a bit op 😅

[heady parcel]

Secondary does huge damage and has good reach

[void turtle]

I hope when the deep north updates they make two handed axes better

[vocal rivet]

Three handed?

[rain flare]

I love my blood slayer!
It looks so good and practically one-shots most mobs barring the chunky ones like morgens…

Even charred warriors die in 1-2 hits from that

[void turtle]

I really wanted the root slayer but I chose the thunder slayer because lightning is pretty good

I need a one handed weapon for morgens tho

[heady parcel]

Is blood the one that requires you to have low health to be effective? How does that even work, you strut forward and tank a hit with your face and then hit back?

[void turtle]

Pretty much

[rain flare]

Practically it’s a % damage increase based on missing total health

[heady parcel]

I'd never use that well, I'm too preoccupied with NOT getting hit

[void turtle]

Unless upgrading my slayer increases the block so I can parry them

[rain flare]

So if you have like 600 total possible health and you actually only have 6 hp, you are gonna hit very hard

[void turtle]

It’s annoying that the blue weapons are the best, because the green and red ones look so much cooler imo

[rain flare]

Same 😂
I made to at sword purely for the aesthetic
I love the look of the blood swords - in practicality I find their magic quite useless

[rain flare]

Green is EPIC dude!
You know you can fully stun bosses with that stuff right?

Just slash until they get stuck, move so they can’t hit you and keep walloping

[void turtle]

Can you rollback weapon upgrades?

[rain flare]

Sadly not without dev commands

I did that cause I changed my mind about making 2 berserker axes - I wanted a spear instead

[noble swallow]

For other early explorers who are eager to go into other biomes early and build a base only Swamp onwards, what do you guys like to do besides:

• looking for Leviathans early to make abyssal stuff
• going straight to the Swamp to get surtling cores from them walking into the water

[void turtle]

I personally hate spears

Should I get the flametal mace or sword?

[rain flare]

Understandable - I like em for the aesthetic and throwing at mobs right in my face

[void turtle]

I don’t like the normal attack

[rain flare]

Sword is faster, but mace will do more damage to skeleton mobs (I forget if it affects the boss)

[rain flare]

The normal attack is terrible 😂

[void turtle]

Sword it is

[rain flare]

I would love spears to be like a hoplite stab for greater reach

Instead they are more like a javelin than anything

[void turtle]

It’d be cool if you used them like a glaive

[rain flare]

Mostly I’m just focused on finding silver as quick as I can - then making sure I have a stockpile of iron for later

[rain flare]

We do have the Atgir for that, so some of those bases covered ❤️

I seriously need to do an Atgir playthrough

[void turtle]

The atgeir is more of a spear than the spear

it’s my second favourite weapon class besides greatsword

Spear is just poke, atgeir is stab

[heady parcel]

This so much. I'd use the spear more if it had a combo, plus the overhand stab animation looks like you're using it like a dagger. Very useful early game, but I never use it again once I get the first sword.

[void turtle]

The first time I played valheim, the people I was playing with told me not to use the sword until mountains, but it’s too fun

[heady parcel]

Swords are swords, I wouldn't be able to skip them, ever..

[void turtle]

I wish I didn’t sleep on them, but I’m glad I used the mace until mistlands

[brittle flower]

mace is just better

even though i like swords a lot they are just missing what maces have

[heady parcel]

Mace goes bonk, but it is boring. Swords are much cooler 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Maces and swords are both good for different situations

Mace secondary has high stagger and knockback but sword secondary has a little more damage

[narrow iron]

Hi guys, I'm gathering info and ideas to make some modded enhancement for the game playthrough,
So maybe you can tell me some points or implementation that you experienced before and you liked them very much
it can be some thoughts about your own experience in playing many servers
it can be also factors that you concerned the most when you pick a server to play
it can be any wishes that a player will make when they play the game
some other aspects also can be like:

"I wish I can have stronger mobs to fight"
"I wish I can upgrade gears beyond level 4"
"I wish I can...."
OR
"What if I can do...?"
OR even frustrations
"AH deathsquito are too annoying!"
"AH too many pukeberries!"

If the question is still very vague, do let me know, I can try to give more inputs/context of my ask
Don't limit yourself, any "volume" of the messages are welcome haha, just give me some time to read
Can reply it here or send me a DM if you preferred more detailed discussions

[void turtle]

To be fair Frostner is awesome

[heady parcel]

Don't even carry one in Ashlands, I do drag Demolisher around but the only time it gets use now is when I'm getting more frost glands and run into a golem

[gray cairn]

This makes me feel better, lmao. I felt slow myself, but turns out I'm chill.

[void turtle]

Currently Frostner is my morgen killer

[brittle flower]

frost is the best elemental damage type we can all agree on that

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker is very strong against morgens

[void turtle]

I refuse to get more iron

And I don’t need any more

[heady parcel]

Mistwalker is overall an excellent weapon (so far for me) in Ashlands. Hope I can make that damn forge upgrade soon so I can get it to lvl 4

[nocturne wolf]

Still no flametal?

[void turtle]

I’ve found two veins of it close to the land

[brittle flower]

fr better than dyrnwyn or the other sword

[void turtle]

And basalt bombs are easy to make

[brittle flower]

swords*

[heady parcel]

No, every time I try I get ambushed by pretty much everything. Since yesterday I've been building an asksvin farm instead, less stressful

[void turtle]

Fair

I think the dyrnwyn will be good for deep north

[rain flare]

#memes-and-clips message

Mistwalker fans

Not mine by the way

[dry plank]

Hello everyone

[vocal rivet]

Game is fine how it is.

[noble swallow]

If you guys build your bases to take advantage of existing structures, what are your favorite considerations? Such as

• underground base under Elder altar
• base on top of dungeon for yellow mushrooms in your basement
• simply needing less materials when there is existing structure there
• unique aesthetics (Bonemass skull base, Fuling village restoration)

[summer hinge]

I personally love using the stone circles in meadows as a starting location. Big area, already mostly flat, easy to defend, they're perfect to start out

[brittle flower]

this

im even including one in my late game base that isnt ready yet i was thinking for a portal house but im not done deciding that yet

[gray cairn]

Feel like the only mods I'd add would be more building structures, like maybe a roof between thatch and wtv we end up getting in plains. I feel like it takes forever to get new roofs.

Also this should be in #mods-discussion

[heady parcel]

I use troll caves to keep my chickens in, early on you can use the entrance to make a really cool little mini-base, that can be very easy to defend depending on the terrain around the cave. I also built my giant tower up on top of it, based around a planted pine tree.

[steel copper]

This might be dangerous but its fun. Find the tallest tree in the dark forest and build as high as you can.
Then wait for a troll to cut you down

[rain flare]

I did that…
After growing the tree on a small inaccessible, man made hill 😅😂

[heady parcel]

Yup, none of those bipedal battering rams coming near my tower!

[lethal spire]

Has anyone who played Valheim in 2021 been able to confirm if the current normal difficulty is easier than when the game was first released? I remember that when I played at launch, I thought it was much harder, but it might just be in my head.

[faint nebula]

the bosses are easier

[heady parcel]

I'd say core gameplay balance has received four years worth of polish.

[rain flare]

My brain read this as 4 years of Polish like the country 😂

[faint nebula]

though, the greydwarves didn't originally throw rocks.

[rain flare]

Solid confusion there 😂

[rain flare]

Sticks and stone so break my bones 😅😭

[rotund bay]

I got a mod that lets me upgrade the wisplight because, damn vanilla wisplight is utter crap

[steel copper]

100% agree. Wisp light needs x2 or x3 radius and speed in clearing mist

[heady parcel]

Their shitty radius is kinda the point though. That said, I wish there was a way to upgrade them, or unlock an upgraded wisplight later on.

Like, make a building piece of those freestanding dvergr wisp lanterns

[faint nebula]

don't forget, mistlights stack with mistwalker for more light and radius

[rotund bay]

the upgrade from the mod eats all my excess silver at least, which is nice
and made me actually build more than 1 wisp fountain whic I never really thought about doing other than decorations before

[steel copper]

Mistlands is one if not THE most visually stunning biomes and they covered it in a magic mist that can only be dispelled by a 10ft radius wisp
What a fucking waste

[heady parcel]

That I agree with, Mistlands is gorgous but we can only see tiny bits.

[faint nebula]

greater impact when you do see it. if you saw mistlands clearly all the time it would be boring

[heady parcel]

At first yes, but I wish the mist would go poof once the Queen bug has been squashed

[steel copper]

I love mistlands and the whole vibe of the biome, but the magic mist needs better ways to be dispelled PLEASE!!!

[rain flare]

Then it wouldn’t be the mistlands

Lore wise, the mist comes from Yggdrasil and it’s roots

Consequently, that is also why the bugs are SO DAMN BIG!!! 😂😂😂

I get it, having no mist would be nice, but that would also be like saying that the swamp stops raining, or the mountains stop blizzarding once their respective bosses are dead

[heady parcel]

Aright, then lemme build those fancy dvergr lights standing around in the world (with something made in that press maybe) once the queen bee is gone! 😄

[steel copper]

I don't mind the magic mist but we need better ways to dispell it so we can see more than 5-10ft in front of us. The mistlights need a massive buff too

[rain flare]

And what would you call it if you remove the mist? 🤔

[rain flare]

I would like that!

[steel copper]

dark forest is still dark at night

[rain flare]

Honestly, anything dverger related makes me happy

They have such a lovely design! ❤️❤️❤️

[rain flare]

Dark forest is kinda named that cause of the trees

More trees = darker at night

It’s not quite as impactful as the mistlands

[steel copper]

mistlands has mostly magic mist everywhere all the time. It would be nice to be able to dispell some regions or just have a larger radius of light
not saying remove the mist

[rain flare]

Bigger wisp light would be lovely 🥰

[steel copper]

yea, upgrading the wisp using cores or sap or tissue would be a great way to progress

or even refined Eitr

[rain flare]

Also a great way for the gjall to see you faster 😂

[faint nebula]

that is an interesting point

[rain flare]

The number of times I’ve turned off my wisp light when I am spotted by a gjall or seeker soldiers to make a hasty escape

[rain flare]

You know so many people don’t appreciate just how helpful the mist is in escaping the bugs

I am sure it is why people struggle translating from the mistlands to the lands of ash

EVERYTHING can see you and makes a beeline for your position down there

[heady parcel]

TIL that the bugs can't see me in the mist

[rain flare]

When I started playing mistlands on release, I still had a fairly large portion of the map which had not been updated properly cause I explored it pre-mistlands release

It was Awful!!! 😂

Had 2 seekers with a 1* and a soldier chasing me the moment I put my nose in there

[faint nebula]

when ashlands came out I had a snow-covered island near the rocky shards

[rain flare]

Then we found gjall with ticks AND seekers which got all of us killed in quick order 😅

[rain flare]

Aaah man that must have been nice! 🥰

Unless the terrain moved deleting your outpost 😅

I remember that happened to also me people

[idle storm]

I've done multiple no-wisplight runs now and i can say with confidence that most worlds have no shortage of mist-free areas. You need to explore a little, but i've always found enough mines and dvergr towers to finish Mistlands without ever setting foot into the mists (with the exception of killing the Queen. No mist-free citadel, yet).

[bold chasm]

the fact they do got me killed one time 😭

he pinged a rock at me from far away and i didnt even know he was there and it hit me and killed me because i was 5 hp

[mortal oriole]

Wow, just started playing Iron Realms, it's a great modded server!

[next pasture]

Smoked bonemass and have frost mead ready
Im about to start making a play for the mountains, anything i oughta know going in?

[rain flare]

Wolves are glass cannons
Very fast attack speed with low health, so they are easy to stagger

Oh and uhmmm… Don’t fight stone golems on the edge of a cliff 😅

[gleaming bridge]

is spinesnap better than draugr for mistalnds overall

[idle storm]

no. Nothing in Mistlands is weak to spirit iirc while pretty much everything is neutral to poison. And draugr fang with frost arrows pretty much oneshots non-starred seekers on normal anyway, so no need to pay more stam cost to shoot.
Save Spinesnap for Ashlands.

[gleaming bridge]

gotchu. thats what im going with for now feels amazing

[tacit crystal]

Draugr bow is bit better IMO, due to smaller stamina usage and additional poison damage which Seekers don't resist.
Spinesnap is better for Ashlands.

[gleaming bridge]

also the slow from freeze is too good

i also just crafted a mistwalker and its cool to use but i think will get better once i have more skill in it (havent used a sword since start) but deals kind of same damage as my frostner. feels better when i happen to hit seekers in the ass

[tacit crystal]

If your club skill is much higher than sword skill then the difference between those two might not seem that noticeable against seekers.
But at the same level the difference is much more noticeable with the 40 damage difference.

Also, 1 handed swords don't have multitarget penalty so it deals better damage when hitting multiple targets.

[prime moth]

starting my journy of hardcore attempts

first one just died to a skeleton in a burial chamber lol

[wintry valve]

the solution to everything in this game is the bow

[tame bramble]

is valheim gonna be released to playstation once its out ?

[frigid gust]

There haven't been any confirmations, but they have said that the way Playstation does early access is part of the reason that they haven't done any work on that front. It's a possibility, but no guarantees.

[tame bramble]

oh right, ive heard that playstation doesnt allow early access games. I hope it comes out on playstation once its out then

[prime moth]

man the meadows really are so extremely peaceful

[languid snow]

hey i need help should i build a new base as my current one is real small or should i inforce it with iron

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

[languid snow]

im asking as im worried about the wood being easy to break with its low hp and i want the base to be able to mostly survive something like the troll raid event

[willow summit]

trenching is the best solution for most ground based raids

well, "best" is subjective, but it's extremely effective

[idle storm]

trolls will destroy any building material pretty quickly. Either build a moat or terrain wall or go out to kite them away from your base, but you're not holding them off with walls no matter the material.

[tacit crystal]

I prefer making temporal outposts until I've progressed enough and found good spot to make the "main" base.

[heavy burrow]

Hey! Today ive found out that its possible to have 'server side' mods so that xbox players can also use them. I had to stop playing valheim due to my immense fear of ticks. Perhaps anyone knows where should i look for more info about that? I doubt theres a mod made that changes ticks into different model etc but it would be a start if i could find out if thats even possible to have on server and not client side

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might be able to tell you if there is something like that 😄

[heavy burrow]

Thanks, moving there!:)

[languid snow]

ngl would be cool to be able to have a seperate layer of armor for decoration like cosmetic armor

[azure yacht]

Because the best option is actually just disabling raids in general

People dislike solutions

[willow summit]

lolol, yes that is the straightest line

[languid snow]

hey is moder skippable?

[willow summit]

anything is skippable, it just has consequences

[merry pebble]

Well... Yes... But lots of stuff will stay locked

[languid snow]

like?

[merry pebble]

She is the only real lock in progression

[willow summit]

the entire next tier of gear

[languid snow]

well except eiktheir lol

[merry pebble]

anything you need blackmetal and flametal for, just example

[merry pebble]

That one is totaly skippable 😄 trolls can do the mining for you

[languid snow]

wait huh

[willow summit]

the bosses all gate the next tier of progression, so skipping one prevents you from accessing it

armor, weapons, etc

[languid snow]

ik bonemass is easily skippable by just using stag breaker to smack the ground untill ya see too hard

[azure yacht]

queen

[willow summit]

the difference with moder is she gates an item to allow you to craft the next set of gear

so it's less about locating resources and more about not being able to process them, in her case

[merry pebble]

Eik skip-trolls, Elder skip-chair, Bonemass skip-stagbreaker, Moder-dont skip, Yag skip-just listen, Queen skip-be fast + bit of luck

[languid snow]

so moder is really the hard lock

[merry pebble]

Didnt try it myslef but couldnt she be accessed via chair like crypts?

[near furnace]

it works

[merry pebble]

Good to know 😄 (Tho i will not be skipping any bosses myself)

[near furnace]

you could previously dig in from under and behind the entrance and access it aswell

[merry pebble]

Oh xD

[near furnace]

we shrunk the door and added some more rocks to hide the entrence

[merry pebble]

Makes sense, tho the chair would probably still be easier, but that is a bug ofc and has to be deliberate, this was possible just by digging around 😄

[near furnace]

I mean. you can't dig yourself in anymore 😉

I fixed it

[nocturne wolf]

Would it be possible to make the entrance not work until it’s unlocked?

[near furnace]

with my amazing location maker collegue

[near furnace]

yes but why?

if someone wants to cheat 🤷

[light moat]

I thought that was one of the bugs you wished could be patched? 🤔

#valheim-chat message

[inland lake]

hey guys, haven't done a play through in a little while, since shortly after ashlands release. Has been there any major changes since the bog witch update?

[near furnace]

not really no

[gray cairn]

Just found a sunken crypt with absolutely nothing in it, made up of 2 rooms.

This ever happen to anyone before?

[merry pebble]

Sometimes happens 🙂 i have once seen just the starting room with all paths blocked off

[gray cairn]

Oof, that hurts.

This crypt is one of 3 in a biome I found, another only had one stack of iron, but the last had plenty, at least. Tough luck 😅

[prime moth]

i just got the opposite and im so happy

first burial chamber 10 cores... so happy

[vocal rivet]

No.

[gray cairn]

Who are you saying no to?

[ember panther]

No.

[gray cairn]

No.

[vocal rivet]

It's gone now.

[languid snow]

i think its funny how moder is the one boss that you have to do but has the most useless buff

[merry pebble]

If you think so 🙂

[verbal mist]

PvP servers when?

[merry pebble]

When all players on the server agree 🙂

[verbal mist]

Or do they exist? 😂

[merry pebble]

Look in #1024264966712340510 😄

[vocal rivet]

You mean the most powerful, right?

[vocal rivet]

Oh they exist. Lots of people enjoy trying to make the game something it isn't.

[chrome badge]

PvP is a form of survival

[jaunty hinge]

omg hear me out!

pet drakes if we use the fire to hatch the eggs...

[steel copper]

you mean Drakes

[jaunty hinge]

yes

[steel copper]

maybe only in mountains, that would be cool

[azure yacht]

And complain when it doesn't work properly (it's shocking)

[heady parcel]

I've had two cases where all three passages were blocked right at the entrance.. Got 2-3 yellow mushrooms and like one ancient bone from those...

[gray cairn]

That's just cruel

[heady parcel]

Still useful to make a fire to get rested buff and wait out the night when you are fresh and squishy and the wraiths are scary..

[heady parcel]

Will tamed creatures of different type count towards each other's max for breeding in a certain area? Thinking of keeping my asksvin together with the chickens, just gotta remember never to put on friendly fire..

[vocal rivet]

No, only their own.

[heady parcel]

Excellent

[nimble moss]

They will never exist (in a proper way). Valheim is a client-authoriative game, and was never designed for PvP nor can it be changed to support it as engineered.

Which I personally love the developers made a design decision that resulted in them focusing on doing one thing well, rather than doing multiple things poorly (I'm looking at you ARK)

[runic ridge]

yo did anyone know that the cheat sword has been in the game for so long valheim was not called valheim? (ps not sure on the "was not called valheim" i just have a old version that still has it)

[vocal rivet]

I would imagine a lot of people knew that.

There are many here that still remember Fejd.

[runic ridge]

fejd the version of valheim were the player looked funny, best version, my opinion just for that one thing

around the same time waystones were a thing

stick man

[vocal rivet]

Ok,

[runic ridge]

but i am on the hunt to find when and why the SwordIronFire was added

[vocal rivet]

Why? Just as a testing tool. Same reason we have corgi statues and a whole host of other things.

[runic ridge]

just document it so people who were wondering could know

[runic ridge]

btw the statues you see like corgi and deer and stuff were used on the old elder summon

[vocal rivet]

I do wonder if you think you're the only person that was around at that time.

[runic ridge]

same with the stuff form the swamp wood is called elder bark

[runic ridge]

im new to the game but i like seeing how some games were made

[nimble moss]

Was that the original game name?

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[runic ridge]

ye

[rotund bay]

I wish we could build the corgi statue for no apparent reason, and it requires elder trophy for the easter egg

[nimble moss]

huh - TIL

[runic ridge]

could be cool to have some of that type of stuff buildable when 1.0 drops

[vocal rivet]

Pre-development stuff ingame makes absolutely zero sense.

[runic ridge]

i do have one fun thing, Stone pickaxe used to be a thing

[vocal rivet]

Yes, and?

[runic ridge]

just some fun things form back than

[gray cairn]

On that note, the impossibility of making underground bases used to be something that bothered me, but I actually love this restriction, now.

[vocal rivet]

I'm glad you're enjoying finding things about the game I guess.

[gray cairn]

Ik you weren't talking to me, but personally, I love finding little tidbits about the game. It's fun. 🙂

[vocal rivet]

You're correct, your comment came while I was typing, but yeah, I genuinely mean that. I just don't know why it's being phrased as though they're the first person to ever discover this stuff.

[celest acorn]

just hit day 100!!!!

[gray cairn]

I think they were just hyped up and wanted to share their discovery. It's exiting to find stuff on your own, even if it's "old news" so to speak.

I shouldn't speak for others, but I assume they didn't think they were the first.

[runic ridge]

i knew that stuff was in the old builds but its cool to see it again after all the years

btw what do people think of old Yggdrasil?

[vocal rivet]

It's not in the game so I have no opinion.

[gray cairn]

Not sure what you mean. Did it used to look different?

Idk much about anything, so forgive me 😅

[runic ridge]

its was like a wispy and cloud version of it

but full sized

[rotund bay]

oh it didn't look like it was now?

[runic ridge]

i mean im right now playing that version

[runic ridge]

yea

[gray cairn]

Can you share a screenshot?

[runic ridge]

idk were i can send it

[vocal rivet]

#screenshots...

[gray cairn]

Screenshot channel, unless you've already sent something, which I believe you did

[runic ridge]

i sent flint

[gray cairn]

Rip

[runic ridge]

flint has not changed

[rotund bay]

flint looks so smoooth

[runic ridge]

i think the flint is good the way its been

the main thing is i could stream it if its ok with the mods and devs

[vocal rivet]

Stream Valheim? Thousands do.

[languid snow]

bro why does the serpent scales kinda feel underused like i would like a armor like mountian teir that uses serpent scales

[robust token]

There's really one usage and it's the shield

[languid snow]

yea which sucks cus using serpent scales could be so cool to use

[robust token]

But the meat is as good as Mistlands tier food

(other than Misthare Supreme)

[gray cairn]

I might be wrong, but I don't think you need explicit permission to stream any game

[robust token]

That's a way to market games too, gj'know?

[lunar sapphire]

As long as you stream valheim in the public voice channels of this discord.

Outside of this discord you can stream what you want 👍

[vocal rivet]

It would if they were streaming the current version of the game, not one from years ago.

[gray sand]

Doing the first base move of this run.

Thank Odin for Eikthyr buff

[echo wind]

Streaming a video game is technically a copyright violation in many places, developers just rarely act upon it (or mind in the first place)

[gray cairn]

I mean.. that's probably why I don't see any nintendo games being streamed.

Makes sense.

[next pasture]

went to mine silver
the whole vein just mined itself somehow

i broke the first part and the rest just kinda... broke?

[restive gull]

You hit the tail of prince ruberts drop
If the object is not supported, it crumbles 👌

[tiny tiger]

You got extremely lucky with that one piece being the only one connected to the ground, causing the rest of it underground to collapse

The fastest way to mine silver

[trail idol]

Is theor a valheim American server?

Need a server on north America

[lusty cloud]

Guys is the console version worth buying?

Btw I'm askin just in case i buy it and end up with no one to play w

[robust token]

You can play on servers that allowed Crossplay. I think Crossplay is an official Valheim thing

[robust token]

You can look in #1024264966712340510

[unkempt rampart]

Where can I discuss trading of items?

Here or in help channel?

[tacit crystal]

There isn't really any channel dedicated to trading since it's not intented feature in game, due to being mostly solo experience with optional coop.

[gray sand]

Trading why? Everything can just be spawned in for free.

[unkempt rampart]

I dont have admin

My computer frooze and my harpoon I made is gone and it is not on the backups

[gray sand]

You don't have admin where?

[nocturne wolf]

If it’s not your world, spawn the items you lost on your own world and bring them to the server

[gray sand]

In one single world?
Go into a different world. Spawn harpoon. Return to the one world you don't have admin in.

[languid snow]

its funny i got "the horde is attacking" raid event

and i had like 60 greydwarves in a hole sooo it was fun watching greydwarves fight goblins

the greydwarves won

[next pasture]

100 greydwarves vs 1 fuling berserker

[chrome badge]

Just gather up enough to make another tbh, it isn't difficult enough to warrant cheating.

[gray sand]

Or just spawn another one in because it is your game, play it how you want to.

[chrome badge]

Exactly why I posed a differing option, but thanks for coming out.

[hard sluice]

Hi, i had to stop playing valheim due to the 'stutter' problem in ashlands. anyone had the same problem? i'm looking for solutions.
I turned the video settings to their lowest and i don't notice it being any better.

[chrome badge]

#valheim-help is a better channel for this type of question.

[near furnace]

it's sadly because audio issues with the game engine

[chrome badge]

Not necessarily, my friend had this issue because of a morgen leveling all the rocks around our base. Until we used the dev command 'removedrops' they were constantly stuttering.

[hard sluice]

thanks, i'll try that

[chrome badge]

Worth a shot, just don't have any valuables on the ground of course.

[hard sluice]

i wish i could say i die a lot because of it, but i honestly don't need that problem to die in there..! ashlands on hardmode is insane

I do think it got worse, and there is a lot of stones, bones,etc around the map. I'll come back and tell you if it got better.

[languid snow]

actually 20 killed the berserker i did get help from greylings and other greydwarves and greydwarf brutes spawning

[near furnace]

hardmode is more a WIP than something people should take to serious 😄

[languid snow]

20 went to both berserkers and like 3 greydwarf brutes and the remaining 20 killed the little ones and the shamen

[lusty cloud]

Yeah but i heard pc players only play modded cuz I've seen clips of the game modded and it looks sick

[chrome badge]

You heard wrong. Vanilla PC players are abundant.

Modding a game before it's even finished is like begging to corrupt a save file anyways.

[lusty cloud]

Oh ok

ALSO CAN SOMEONE CHANGE MY NAME BACK TO Sq?

[heady parcel]

I am too much of a loot goblin to ever leave anying lying on the ground. I pick it up and store it for later - and if I know I won't have use for it it goes into the obliterator. Coal is always needed! But anyway, I don't have a stutter problem in Ashlands, so not leaving all those sparkling things lying around should definitely help.

[near furnace]

Sq only?

[near furnace]

yes. something between 5-8% mod the game 🤔

it use to be even less

[heady parcel]

If Valheim gets an official Steam workshop after 1.0 I might consider something to increase render distance, but I have really never felt any need to mod anything about the game.

[near furnace]

do your PC support it tho?

[rain flare]

Increases render distance
PC: “And I took that personally” 😅

🔥 💻 🔥

[heady parcel]

I wouldn't make it show the entire world, just enough so that my damned tower doesn't pop into existence just before I bump into it (to exaggerate a wee bit...) But mostly to make my lighthouse serve its purpose and not just be pretty when I get close to home. 🙂

PC should be able to handle it though

[hard sluice]

Playing hardmode feels like its not the way the game is meant to be played. In ashlands, its not 'hard', it's insane. You get 1 shot by mobs, even with 3 top quality hp food and the best gear you can have.

I didnt want to remove items unintentionanly so i turned mobs to 'passive' and cleaned up ashlands. its better..!

i get stutter every 30 secs instead of every 10 secs.. definitely an improvement.

[heady parcel]

Yeah they hit hard enough on normal, I honestly don't understand why anyone would subject themselves to hardmode down there. In general I don't like difficulty alterations that change mechanics, imo it would be better to have more mobs and increase frequency of starred ones, let starred mobs spawn at day time, let mobs normally without stars have them and so on. Enter two star serpent attacking my karve...

[hard sluice]

I worked very hard to get there on hardmode, its taking a lot of humility to stop there/turn the difficulty down. but honestly, its not fun.

with stutter every 10 secs on top of that, i was going to quit for sure.

actually... the problem persists even after clearing 6 chests worth of items from the ground :_(

maybe it is a problem related to sound that i can nothing about

[heady parcel]

Hmmm, might be an unfortunate combo of hardware + Unity engine then? I only get a few spikes when the world saves. I have learned to go hide somewhere after the warning comes up, at least when I am somewhere dangerous.

[tepid prawn]

there is a video on how to optimize fps, should I post it?

[hard sluice]

i have old hardware, but i have 0 problems outside ashlands. It goes from perfectly smooth, to hardly playable.

[tepid prawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU this always gets recommended especially for older hardware

[hard sluice]

the fps seems fine, but it just freezes up every 10 seconds or so. it did seem to coincide to new 'mobs' loading in. but idk

[near furnace]

something that not everyone knows.
bonfires have the longest render-distance in the game and will show itself before most other things in the game

[near furnace]

it is sound related

it's a known issue (for us)

[hard sluice]

i think you are right. i wanted to try the other option since theres nothing i can about this one..

thanks for the help

I didnt notice that you are a Dev. I appreciate the response.

[heady parcel]

I have indeed noticed that, a pretty bonfire does adorn the top of my light house. I just wish I could entrap a fuling there as lightkeeper, to keep it lit when I am travelling so it doesn't burn out before I get home!

[nimble moss]

Sorta. Goblin bonfires render in, then render out, then render again when you get closer

It’s very evident when sailing at night. You’ll briefly see the fire, then it goes away. Then it comes back. .

/shrug.

It’s like they load and render in until the game realises maybe they are too far. So they disappear.

Then re-render later.

But yes, furtherest by far.

[hard sluice]

i had too much pride to give up on my hardmode save, so i went around my ashland base and killed tough mobs with a troll armor and a knife before i called it quit xD
It felt good.
I'll put that save on ice for now..!
I'll try a no-map world.

[near furnace]

I was gonna say.
I hope I am right about the issue since it's my job 😄

[hard sluice]

I didn't notice it, but it did sound true when i first read it. i think i didnt want to believe that i had no way to fix it :_(
I love Valheim..! I spent a lot of hours in this game since i got it.
I played vanilla, no cheats, hard mode preset, minimum help from the wiki. Its been quite a journey.

apart in the ashlands, i didnt abuse using campfires to prevent spawns or raised terrains to protect my base.
I keep saying its in my top 5 best game i played, but i can hardly think of 4 other games i enjoyed more.

[lusty cloud]

Yeah

[near furnace]

thee problem is when the game wants to use more than 16 channels of sound

[near furnace]

good?

[lusty cloud]

Yep ty :3

Also if I'm not mistaken i think the game was on game pass a long ago

[near furnace]

yup

it was out of gamepass last year tho

[lusty cloud]

Sadge

That was the time i played it

It's pretty cheap tho so I'm prolly gonna buy it

[near furnace]

we go on sale pretty often 🙂

but we have added some content since game pass 🤔

[lusty cloud]

Regardless It's still hella cheap

[near furnace]

yea

no need to have the game expensive

[lusty cloud]

Funny enough it's literally cheaper than terraria

[brittle flower]

Well I can say that your money will be well spent this game is 100% worth it

[lusty cloud]

Ik lol i played the game before

[near furnace]

cheaper than alot of games on steam 🙂

[lusty cloud]

I'm on xbox :3

[brittle flower]

Fr and unlike some games you will never run out of stuff to do and even after completing the game just start another one and do things a bit different

[near furnace]

that's one of the points with valheim. don't have something that just is "the best" and a randomized map also helps

[lusty cloud]

Yeah i remember the struggle i had with exploring the world back when i played

It was funny

[near furnace]

🙂

[blazing current]

I will never understand the rocky campaign </3

[white mortar]

🪨

[merry pebble]

[gray cairn]

Take a thing. (Legit anything)
Make it cute, or sexy.
Sell it.
Profit.

[undone idol]

Guys, is Rocky the pet limited time only ?

[safe flower]

untill deap north maybe, so 2 years or so

[tacit crystal]

It has been in game since 1st April, so apparently it's permanent.

[restive violet]

In-game Rocky is permanent, plushie Rocky is for a limited time only!

[safe flower]

deep north this year?

[tacit crystal]

Not confirmed information yet.

[safe flower]

well there was a purple around, was hoping for a yes or no lol

[tacit crystal]

I can assure that is what devs have said also.

[gray sand]

The purples don't even know so...

[safe flower]

whats yellow mean? lol

[tacit crystal]

Server booster.

[safe flower]

but purples must have a general target they are looking at

[gray sand]

Which would never, ever be shared outside of the actual dev team because that's in the game dev 101 guide, lol

[tacit crystal]

They will share the information to us all when they seem fit.

None of us get any info beforehand.

[safe flower]

they usually give a quarter or half year they plan on that they announce

[tacit crystal]

The best info we currently get is monthly (usually at the end of month) dev blog post where they might share new mini series trailer of something spoilery, which also appear in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816.

[gray sand]

Who is "they"???

[safe flower]

its been over a year since ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Not yet a year.

There were around 17 month gap between Mistlands and Ashlands and considering 1.0 will be their biggest update so far it might take even longer than that.

[gray cairn]

Sorry this might be a stupid question, ik deep north is the last biome, but is the release of it supposed to be 1.0 "final" update/full release?

[gray sand]

Yes, DN == 1.0

[gray cairn]

Sweet, thanks 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Final biome update and 1.0, yes.

Not a stupid question at all, you seem to be fairly new after all.

[gray cairn]

For some reason, in my head I thought they'd release DN, and THEN 1.0

Idk why I thought that

[gray sand]

DUMBEST QUESTION IN THE HISTORY OF ALL QUESTIONS!

😏

[tacit crystal]

At least according to a Chinese saying, you were stupid just for a moment instead of rest of your life (if you never asked).

[gray cairn]

Bold of the chinese to underestimate my studipnessity

[tacit crystal]

I believe it's just "stupidness".

But lots of them are about being or not being stupid.

[gray cairn]

I dont word goods

[tacit crystal]

That okay.

[gray cairn]

Im just kidding btw, I appreciate the sentiment.

[tacit crystal]

I figured.

[drifting depot]

really out here getting announced over a 30 dollar plushy

[tiny tiger]

Sounds like someone isn’t lonely or in need of a friend

[faint nebula]

Has anybody noticed a difference in what you place in Rocky? Is it strictly for decoration?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s so far away that it would be entirely covered by fog and you wouldn’t be able to see it well

[final bloom]

What is Rocky about? I stopped playing before the release and didnt come back yet. Should I come back just to build it or play with it?

I mean, I want to have it in my world

[faint nebula]

its a decoration. might add comfort? You can mount something on it like a flower or trophy. It has facial expressions that reflect your status and makes motivational comments.

[twin night]

Everytime this channel has a new notification, I quickly open the discord and hope that there is news about upcoming update. That rocky starts making me mad 😄 I guess its because I haven't played since Mistland.. just waiting for that last biome and I get another 500h of fun

[lyric olive]

So does this rock actually do anything or just put down and thats it, seems pointless

[faint nebula]

I enjoy the early game more. just started a new playthrough

[lyric olive]

It does nothing

[heady parcel]

Oh FFS. Walked up the mountain at nightfall to look for starred wolfies. First wolf I see is a two star- but before I get to it two seekers swoop in and kill it. FREAKING BUGS!

[lyric olive]

Trying to remember what seekers are, not played in so long.

[heady parcel]

It's the second one I have ever seen in 1100 days in this world, the first one I killed myself before I realised.

[lyric olive]

Probably mistlands, most forgettable biome

[faint nebula]

apparently if you put two Mysterious Rocks near eachother you have a 33% chance per day to produce a pickable stone.

[final bloom]

Nice, will be scatting them around my most used bases

[lyric olive]

I got 3 and just stored them lol

[final bloom]

Oh, so it's an item also

[merry pebble]

You find and pick it in the wild and then you can place it as a build piece (if you add coal) 🙂

[final bloom]

Will it spawn in already explored terrain?

[merry pebble]

No sadly, you have to find new areas

[final bloom]

Ok, I might need more Tars anyway lol

Should I be looking for a specific biome?

[heady parcel]

I explored two entire islands without finding it, so now I don't bother

[merry pebble]

Yep, best is meadows and black forest, it technicaly can also spawn in swamps and mountains but because it has certain height requirements it is extremely rare to find it there

[final bloom]

Thanks. Will go find some this weekend

[merry pebble]

It might appear somewhere someday 😄

[heady parcel]

Can it even be distinguished from a regular stone on the ground?

[merry pebble]

Yep, it is larger, smoother and lighter in colour 🙂

[heady parcel]

Curses upon those murderous cockroaches

[pallid seal]

Does the rock spawn in terrain already explored? Do you need to load new areas for it?

[merry pebble]

Only in new areas sadly

[pallid seal]

Hmm, bummer -_-

[slender eagle]

So that's why I can't find it

[heady parcel]

Finally found ashvine seeds, and of course they refused to grow... Seem to be extremely sensitive to any form of structure nearby. Is it intended or are they too sensitive?

[idle storm]

It's not, people just tend to place it too close to walls because it grows on walls. 1-2m distance works fine.

Basically keep as much space from the wall as you would with any other plant and it should grow without issues

[faint nebula]

and not under a roof

[heady parcel]

Aright, I wish they'd simply refuse to get planted if you try to put them too close, I had to tear down half the house to allow it to grow. Only got two damned seeds so not about to let them go to waste 😄

Will planted vines also drop seeds, or do those have to be collected in the wild?

[dreamy shadow]

It's been a while for me but as I remember it has chance to drop seeds too

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[tacit crystal]

They can drop seeds too.

[idle storm]

Every vineberry cluster you pick has a chance to drop seeds. 20% iirc?

[heady parcel]

Awesome, that lone plant that survived can help me then!

[steel copper]

vineberry are still broken when planted unfortuntely

[charred rune]

Farming them in Ashlands is at first more profitable than planting yourself

[jolly bison]

can i make full bronze armour for tree boss?

or is upgraded leather enough

[charred rune]

If you don't get hit, Leather is fine

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor is generally better. It only has 6 less defence but won’t slow you down.

[jolly bison]

ive beat it before with full bronze but this time im with a friend and resources are not easy to harvest

[jolly bison]

what armour would you suggest for bonemass

feel like i can skip bronze armour fully

[nocturne wolf]

Troll, root or iron armor
Bronze armor would be pointless because iron armor is better and doesn’t slow you any more

[idle storm]

you can. Troll is enough for elder and Bonemass if you use an appropriate shield, as is root armor.

I'd skip heavy armor until the silver tier

[jolly bison]

got it, is bronze buckler shield good?

[jolly bison]

okay thats fantastic

[idle storm]

If you're decent at parrying

[jolly bison]

i see...

[idle storm]

If you're not you can do okay with an upgraded bone tower shield too

[nocturne wolf]

The bronze shield is good if you want to parry. If you do not want to parry use no shield or the bone tower shield.

[jolly bison]

i see

whats the best weapons for bonemass and tree boss?

i know clubs and maces do extra damage to bonemass

[nocturne wolf]

Any bronze weapon is good for the elder, but for bonemass you’ll want an iron mace

[jolly bison]

ive been thinking about using fire arrows for elder

[idle storm]

fire arrows work

[jolly bison]

okay thats good

[jolly bison]

iron mace, ill keep that in mind thanks

i swear i used to get ancient seeds from shamans, did they change it to only drop from the spwaners?

[nocturne wolf]

They drop from greydwarf brutes and greydwarf spawners

The shamans drop bukeperries

[unkempt iron]

My friend and I will probably start another playthrough soon, does anyone know if a big update is happening within a month or 2? I don’t wanna start a world if we’re gonna need to make a new world for the new stuff

[jolly bison]

ah, gotcha

[idle storm]

You've never needed to make a new world to get access to new stuff

[jolly bison]

the new stuff is likely endgame

[nocturne wolf]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[unkempt iron]

I meant biomes

[idle storm]

the answer remains the same

[unkempt iron]

Really?

[jolly bison]

it's like minecraft

[idle storm]

as long as you haven't explored your entire map new biomes will generate in unexplored areas

[unkempt iron]

That’s pretty cool

[nocturne wolf]

A placeholder version of the deep north is generated in existing worlds

[jolly bison]

what purpose does a tamed boar serve?

[unkempt iron]

I haven’t played Minecraft for years lol, looks like a entirely different game

[nocturne wolf]

You can farm them for easy meat and leather

[jolly bison]

can it pull carts? does it do anything other than being used for food

[unkempt iron]

Cool little guy

[idle storm]

you can breed and butcher them for easy access to mats

[unkempt iron]

Guard dog

[nocturne wolf]

Just like Minecraft in the way new content generates in existing worlds, not overall.

[jolly bison]

oh

[idle storm]

boars no, wolves, lox and askvin also have combat value and lox & asksvin are ridable

[jolly bison]

i mean it's alright... thought it could be used to pull cars are something

[unkempt iron]

Two star boars are good guard animals in meadows

[nocturne wolf]

Just don’t let them get near the necks

[jolly bison]

oh why

[nocturne wolf]

Because they’ll hurt the necks

[jolly bison]

wish Valheim added some QoLs

after playing grounded it feels too difficult and tedious

[vocal rivet]

Heh.

[idle storm]

You can adjust world modifiers to make combat easier or increase loot

[jolly bison]

no like i press a button to deposit my things in chests

instead of going to them 1 by 1, or being able to craft things without taking them out of chests

[idle storm]

press and hold E and it will stack any mats that are already in the chest

[jolly bison]

but only 1 chest :(

[idle storm]

Build bigger chests 😋

[jolly bison]

i mean i have like 30 different chests for stone, flint, wood, finewood, corewood, metal etc

[idle storm]

I usually have 1 BM chest per biome and that's enough for solo play

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[jolly bison]

feels better to sort it that way, but comes with a price unfortunately

and I've only got access to small chests for now

[vocal rivet]

Seems like you've made your own problems.

[jolly bison]

no no, it's just I'm a bit dependent on QoLs

the normal chest only has 8 slots anyways

[idle storm]

I mean, deposit-all and crafting from chests is nice but i don't consider it a requirement

[jolly bison]

it's just a little something

[idle storm]

Difficult to let go off when you're used to it though, i had the same issue after playing Grounded and then Valheim

[jolly bison]

oh right, 10
still not a lot imo

[jolly bison]

yeah I started Valheim first, didn't feel much but then after playing grounded it feels really tedious

[vocal rivet]

It's enough if you're not even at iron yet.

[jolly bison]

i see..

[idle storm]

It's mostly a matter of efficiently organising what you have so you don't have to visit a dozen chests after every trip

[vocal rivet]

People do seem to become hoarders in this game and I don't know why.

[idle storm]

I'm a hoarder in every survival game.

I'd rather take an extra trip back to base to empty my inventory than drop anything unless it's truly worthless

[pliant hatch]

People hoard items because they know they will need them again at some point in the game.

[idle storm]

That too. Leather scraps and bone fragments are a good example of that.

[jolly bison]

do i need bronze pickaxe for progression

[nocturne wolf]

No, but it will make gathering more bronze and iron much faster

[jolly bison]

oh, i thought i just pick up iron

[idle storm]

not really, but unless you plan to skip the bronze tier entirely and go straight for the iron one it'll save you time to craft one

[jolly bison]

scrap iron from swamp dungeons

[idle storm]

You do need to mine the muddy scrap piles in swamp dungeons, so you need a pickaxe for that

the antler one works, but you'll need to run out of the crypt to repair fairly often and they do less damage

an upgraded bronze one will last you through 99% of sunken crypts easily

[jolly bison]

ah got it

[light moat]

@teal sparrow #screenshots message

whoa!! did you use crystal walls to get this effect?? This looks so cool!

[tacit crystal]

Seems like it. Cool look.

[plush umbra]

When building docks or bridges, it's probably best to use stone because wood just wears away fast right?

Do boats even need docks?

[nocturne wolf]

Water damage won’t bring a build piece below 50% health

[undone forum]

Personal opinion, wood will only go to50% health then stop

[nocturne wolf]

No, you can leave them at a beach

[plush umbra]

And that won't damage the boat?

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe once when landing but after that it should be ok

[plush umbra]

Thank you all so much!

[heady parcel]

Aright, tonight's the night - I'll get flametal or die trying!

(many times)

Ooh shite, I decided to check my skills before I start dying. Run, Jump, Swords and Pickaxes at 100. Bows running up at 97. I'll miss these levels later...

Blocking is just 54, it just rises slowly I guess. Been sword'n board most of this character's life. 1100 days and counting

[gray cairn]

I reccomend leaving it like 10 meters from shore and swimming, will protect it from certain enemies

Or beach specifically in meadows, then put down a campfire

[heady parcel]

Or just leave the area quickly, mobs can't damage the boat if you aren't close enough (within a 100 meters or so?) to keep the area "active".

What is the proc chance per skill for cooking?

Starting to really dislike the rng around it. Just done a major cooking effort - exactly 100 meals cooked, got exactly 0 procs. Skill is at 34.

[nocturne wolf]

I think it goes up to 25%

[heady parcel]

So if it is proportional to skill level I should have around 8% proc chance at lvl 34. Getting 0 out of 100 (120 now, made another two stacks) is really shitty luck. Not a fan of rng 😕

Mountains at night after killing queen is a constant mob deathmatch. Fenrigs, golems, fulings and seekers duking it out non-stop, with a drake swooping in now and then. Oddly, barely a single wolf in three nights.

[royal plaza]

What are the odds of a Flametal spire NEVER sinking? I just cleared one off completely and the empty rock is still sitting there - no movement..

[heady parcel]

With my typical luck it will sink at first hit now that I'm going for my first vein. That's how leviathans have always been, one swing and shakey-shakey, FU puny viking I'm outta here!

[royal plaza]

Either a glitch or due to it being “connected” to land outside the lava maybe?

[heady parcel]

I read on the interwebs that it is a certain % chance per pickaxe hit that it starts sinking, so with luck that check can fail every time. Kinda like me cooking 120 bleeding foods without cooking proccing once...

[royal plaza]

Ah. I played Ashland last year and the spire was guaranteed to sink

[heady parcel]

Whatever I read was not much newer, so - as with all info from the interwebs - should be taken with a sack of salt

[undone forum]

I have mined like 10 and only had one sink

[vocal rivet]

It's still a percentage chance, it's just much lower than it was.

[heady parcel]

Well feck, of course I fell into the lava and died

[undone forum]

Average flametal mining experience

[heady parcel]

Just slid off the basalt platform, panicked and...yeah

Ah well, got just over 60 ore, do they smelt in regular smelter or the blast furnace?

[rain flare]

Blast furnace

[rain flare]

Aaaah dude 😅

[rain flare]

It’s a thing - the flametal is quite likely to not sink if you are lucky

I’ve mined 4 pillars recently and only 1 sank

[heady parcel]

Thanks, off to get the mats for one. With a stone portal I can bring the ore to a safer place after, right?

[rain flare]

Yup 👍
Best plan of action

[heady parcel]

Yeah I'm not trying to ship it out on that bloody marble barge

Oh gods, gotta sail it out anyway, forgot the blast furnace requires 10 iron. Poop.

[next pasture]

seeing as i have a foothold in the mountains i need to ask
whats the ideal player kit setup for moder
assuming i run heavy armor

[heady parcel]

Moder likes to fly around and breathe stuff at you, then land and try to bite. So a bow with high damage arrows - obsidian for example - and whatever melee setup you like using.

[lusty dirge]

Didn't you say you had the mats for a stone portal?

[next pasture]

also havent seemed to unlock alot of new foods since i got to the mountains
just onions and like wolf meat

did food setups change?

[heady parcel]

Haven't unlocked the recipe, so I assume it requires flametal, which I need to smelt before I can use it...

[lusty dirge]

It doesn't, but you need 2 iron for a stone cutter

[heady parcel]

Got a stone cutter, but I haven't unlocked the stone portal, so something is still missing

[next pasture]

stone what now

[heady parcel]

Stone crafting table

[lusty dirge]

Probably, but you can find everything you need in the ashlands

[heady parcel]

Ah right, assuming something from the charred fortresses? I've roamed a bit and there are none nearby, I'm just gonna ship the first haul out to get some flametal smelted and unlock stuff.

[idle storm]

it requires grausten, molten cores and greydwarf eyes. Molten cores can be gotten from fortresses and Morgen caves

[heady parcel]

Thanks, haven't seen either nearby so yeah, shipping it is..

[idle storm]

Also a stonecutter, but you can get iron from Morgen caves too (in small quantities, but you only need 2)

Morgen caves just look like grausten rocks from a distance. Look for bones around them

[lusty dirge]

Morgen caves are quite common

[heady parcel]

Found some bone places, but they only had volture eggs

[lusty dirge]

They are like the grausten version of troll caves

[next pasture]

oh theres a butchers table now
thats why my food games been lacking

[heady parcel]

Oh that's been around for ages

[vocal rivet]

Eh, fairly new.

[heady parcel]

Is it? Mistlands at least?

[idle storm]

bog witch

[heady parcel]

Nah that was the food preparation table

[idle storm]

ah right, my bad

[vocal rivet]

That's presumably what they mean.

[heady parcel]

Makes sense

[vital umbra]

hi derek

[heady parcel]

I still think it is weird that one of very few food recipes that are (or at least should not be) not heated during preparation was NOT moved to the food preparation table. Salad... really, really should be made on that table, not in the cauldron.

[vocal rivet]

Not going to argue there.

[heady parcel]

Doesn't matter one bit, but it still bugs me.

Presumably, the only reason the food prep table exists is that it felt weird to use the cauldron to prepare "uncooked" dough and other stuff for the oven. The poor old salad was just forgotten...

Gods, why do my wolves insist of hanging around in the staircase? Sometimes I just can't get down or up without going outside and climb the damn building..

[idle storm]

realistic dog AI?

[heady parcel]

100%

Every time the Valheim fluffs annoy me, I think of my real world pooch and yeah, they are eerily similar!

[merry pebble]

As i said before 😄 they have the "being an obstacle" part of wolf AI really realistic xD

[heady parcel]

Definitely. I had a huge black German shepherd dog once, almost 30 years ago, and he had black belt 8th Dan at lying around wherever I needed to go and having me tripping over him. We also had a cat at that time, and they weren't really on speaking terms. So every time I stumbled over the dog, the cat used it as an excuse to attack him. Poor pooch, he was too well trained to retaliate, so he just took it and looked at me with sad eyes. I was on his side mind you, the cat was brought into the family by the Unmentionable Other One I am no longer married to. Not valheim related really, but by the gods if the Valheim wolves could be all black they would be HIM!

[next pasture]

i am now out of arrows and a single pixel health drake is harassing me

i cant land a hit

[merry pebble]

👊

[next pasture]

smoked both a golem and a wolf, he still wont leave

[idle storm]

find an overhang or slap down a quick wood shack if you have mats. They'll try to get LoS on you and get in range of your melee weapons (might require jumping)

[next pasture]

luckily i was just flattening ground for building, so a portal was close by
i just wanted to see if i could deal with it w/o a bow

i was just worried itd break the portal while i was gone restocking

[idle storm]

zone gets unloaded when you leave, so if it doesn't get destroyed when you're stepping in it won't until you come back

[next pasture]

honestly im not even sure why im building here considering this isnt even my moder spawn

all my bosses always seem to spawn on the other edge of the gods damn universe

or atleast the map revealed ones

[idle storm]

eh, i have a ton of outposts that only exist because i though it was a cool build spot

aw lame

[idle storm]

i needed 20+ hours to find the Bog Witch in one of my worlds. ~18 of those were spend building a tower on a biome border between mountains, plains and swamp i got distracted by while sailing past 😂

[next pasture]

where even does the bog witch spawn

[idle storm]

swamps

[next pasture]

ive found haldor and his sister

[merry pebble]

Swamp, between 3000 and 8000 meters from the world center.

[next pasture]

who managed to put her shop in meadows right next to a plains, and ALSO right next to a fuling camp
having 4 fuling berserkers roll up when i go to buy stuff is always fun

[merry pebble]

And only in ones that were not discovered before bog witch update

[vocal rivet]

That's why she has a shield.

[next pasture]

yeah but i cant put a portal in there

[gray cairn]

That's why I build a harbour away from base, instead of inside said base, and I make a cute lil road leading to it.

[heady parcel]

Yep, good method!

[gray cairn]

Hard agree

[next pasture]

im at a lvl 3 cauldron now and i still havent unlocked any recipes involving fish

[heady parcel]

Have you made the food preparation table?

[next pasture]

yes

[heady parcel]

With that you prepare fish to raw fish

[next pasture]

i have different bait types but no actual use for fish meat

[heady parcel]

That should do the trick

[next pasture]

maybe my viking is just stupid?

[vocal rivet]

Did you make the raw fish?

[heady parcel]

Could be... But if you use the food prep table to turn fish into raw fish meat you should be able to cook it after

[next pasture]

yes i have
ill go try it again, maybe it just didnt take

[merry pebble]

Did you make barley flour yet?

[next pasture]

that i have not, im still in mountains stage

[idle storm]

cook raw fish on cooking station

[merry pebble]

That will unlock more recipes using raw fish then 🙂

[heady parcel]

The few recipies involving fish require cooked fish - so just cook the raw ones over fire.

[next pasture]

ive had cooked fish in my pocket and still nothing, must just be barley

[heady parcel]

Yeah, before you have flour the only use for fish is eating it cooked as is

[idle storm]

The only meals that use generic fish are fish wraps and sailor's bounty, so probably

fishings mostly useful for meads

[next pasture]

its not too big a problem, im just waiting for onions to propogate enough to actually use
i only found 4 seeds so i need to grow a handful of generations before i can start using spares

[heady parcel]

Fish wraps are a decent plains food if you have lots of fish and flour

They look hella delicious too

[next pasture]

if not for the human (?) entrails i would absolutely have some sausages

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I suppose (slightly?) undead vikings don't mind, but I would not make sausages out of zombie guts, personally

Not while there are boars around anyway

[next pasture]

this makes me think of an interesting challenge
is it possible to beat valheim as a vegan

[sinful ivy]

Alright new base built

[next pasture]

no meat or meat based foods

[heady parcel]

I thing there are some veggie runs already

[sinful ivy]

How do I transport a wolf a long distance

[tacit crystal]

By boat.

[outer epoch]

Take it on a boat. Have fun. 😉

[sinful ivy]

What about food won’t food drop through the boat?

[outer epoch]

(For a real challenge, take 8 wolves on a boat!)

[tacit crystal]

You don't need to feed them constantly, only when you want them to breed after they're tamed.

[heady parcel]

They WILL fall in - but don't panic, they swim good and have unlimited stamina, just sail slow enough so they can follow.

[outer epoch]

You don't need to feed wolves once tame.

[sinful ivy]

I’ve only got the one wolf rn (I named it ghost after John snows)

[sinful ivy]

Wait really? What happens if they don’t eat at all

[idle storm]

they don't regen health

[sinful ivy]

Oh I see

[heady parcel]

They get hungry, don't regen health and will not breed

[sinful ivy]

I’m too scared to take my wolf out to battle in the plains anyway so he’s more of just a house dog who eats a lot of food up

Knowing that I can let him starve is actually great now

[heady parcel]

That's how most of us use them I think..

[idle storm]

Once you've got a breeding pair set up they're pretty much expendable

[sinful ivy]

He’s just a cute puppy I can’t let him die to deathsquitos :(

[sinful ivy]

No such thing as an expendable puppy :(

[idle storm]

They died honorably in battle and went to Valhalla. In my headcanon Odin's random appearances are him collecting fallen doggos and taking them over personally.

[next pasture]

i still need to get some tamed boars for the sake of mass producing of sosigs

genuinely a goated food

[charred rune]

I have ~100 2* Wolves as my base defense. Wouldn't say they are not expandable. 🥸

[sinful ivy]

This is brilliant, now I need to see someone draw this

[idle storm]

... now i do too

[next pasture]

gentle death is kinda that though
or whatever that old webcomic was

ah, loving reaper

[idle storm]

there's a webcomic about Odin taking dog souls to Valhalla?

[next pasture]

no, the grim reaper taking animal souls to the afterlife
hes kind about it

similar premise

[idle storm]

huh... that sounds kinda neat

[next pasture]

id show you some snippets but i lack image perms
just google loving reaper youll find it fast

back to flattening the top of this mountain to build... something
i never plan these builds they just kinda happen

[vocal rivet]

No-one does in this channel.

[next pasture]

i do have to admit im only working up here to attract wolves for pelts and a meat stockpile
and golems for shards

mining attacts mobs more quickly i think?

[merry pebble]

It has very big noise radius 🙂

[next pasture]

id like a raid summoning flare for the sake of getting more resources
having a ghost raid happen was nice, hand delivered chains to my front door!

actually the griefing potential would be too great i fear
the ability to summon endgame mobs to someones front door would be too abusable

it'd be peak PVP content though

[heady parcel]

Anyway my first flametal vein never sank, got 77 ore and only died three times 😂

Ugh, I wish the skill drain would be relative to the amount of experience needed to gain it, not just a flat percentage of what you have. Dying at high levels is so bleeding costly.

[merry pebble]

You can turn it down if you want to 😄

[heady parcel]

Nah, I'm playing it as intended for now. Just providing some whingy feedback!

[merry pebble]

👍

[heady parcel]

But, thinking about it - that is probably by design and working well. When you're a freshie and barely have any skills, dying is common but barely has any effect anyway. When you're all grown up and know your shit, dying should be less common and hence WHEN it happens it hits home the harder for it. I'm just bitter that on this character I have ONE single death to mobs, all other deaths have been to environment and stupidity. Jumping off my tower five times, lava three times, drowning once (don't even remember, I must have been drunk) burned by fireplace once and last but not least, killed by Yaggy once.

[merry pebble]

Oh yes, my greatest enemy in the whole world of Valheim (and outside too xD)

My own dumbass

[idle storm]

#1 cause of death for me? Forgetting i took off my feather cape 😂

[gray sand]

🤔

[idle storm]

usually causes a few deaths whenever i start a new world too

[gray sand]

Sounds like you need to unlearn bad jumping habits 😁

[sinful ivy]

someone get on it

[heavy helm]

How can I get rocky ??

[merry pebble]

You find mysterious rock on the ground, look in Meadows and Black forest as there is the greatest chance to find it, it has to be more than 1000m from the world centre and only in areas not discovered before April 1st 🙂

[heavy helm]

Oof ok ok . Does it say mysterious rock like the ores ?

[merry pebble]

It looks like bigger, smoother stone that is lighter in color, and just like normal stones it is pickable 🙂

[heavy helm]

Oh ok ok. They said it will be gone soon. Do we know how soon that is ?

[merry pebble]

They meant the chance to get the plushie Rocky will be gone 😄 the in game one will most likely stay

[heavy helm]

Oh I see 🤣. Ok ok thanks a lot for helping me. Have a nice day 😁

[merry pebble]

[heavy helm]

[hybrid wren]

yes there is someone who had Spanish interested in opening a world tomorrow, who writes to me

[red heron]

Hi everyone,
My friend and I started the game yesterday and spiced up the gameplay with a few mods, but for some reason ValheimRAFT isn’t working properly in multiplayer. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

[vocal rivet]

Probably best to ask in #mods-issues for mod problems.

[red heron]

thanks

[unreal barn]

Why is it that - the askvin does not melt in lava but if you are wearing an askvin set (made out of their hide) you become charcoal

[nocturne wolf]

Flametal armor is the heat resistant one

You still become charcoal, but slower

[pliant hatch]

At least slower as that piece of boar meat you forgot to take off of the cooking station........

[gray sand]

Seeker Meat is something I intentionally burn because it makes a great coal source tbh.

[tiny tiger]

Very plentiful

[tiny tiger]

Video game logic

[gray sand]

Because the hide just stops the surface burns.
Your insides still get cooked and boil due to the heat.
Asksvin insides are different than yours and therefore do not boil.

[tiny tiger]

Do meat items turn into coal 1:1 in obliteration?

[gray sand]

No.

Which is why burning Seeker Meat is better than obliterating it.

[prime moth]

best part of hardcore runs is how many fun bases I get to make in new meadows areas

it’s like a new sculpture every run

[silent oriole]

holes

[humble sequoia]

What material should I use to build a base in the plains?

Wood is scarce, so maybe stone?

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

Also you can go elsewhere to get asstons of wood and just portal it back.

[willow summit]

Wood is never scarce 🙂

[rotund bay]

is there a mod that adds primary attacks to sledge hammers?

[vocal rivet]

#mods-discussion

[humble sequoia]

Is there a flat roof?

[tepid prawn]

yes and no you can use the stone floor as roofing, need some support usually

[humble sequoia]

what about wood?

[tepid prawn]

no flat wood roof

[humble sequoia]

rip

[charred rune]

You can do it with wood, but it doesn't count as a roof-piece so it will get damaged by rain eventually.

[gray sand]

With the slits and holes in it? That's your roof? 😬

[humble sequoia]

is it normal to have dandelion growing through my floor?

[wintry valve]

dandelions grow wherever they want

[idle storm]

just put the 26° roofs between two layers of wood floors. Upper floors will decay in rain but everything under it will be sheltered and it only raises your building height by 1m.

[proud idol]

[warm depot]

gmorning

a new day, more valheim

[robust token]

Well Ashlands is no joke

I was playing as the victim for the pass 6 hours 💀

[idle storm]

It's a bit of a shock, but you get used to it.

Ashlands i mean, not being the victim

[pliant hatch]

Might get used to being that in Valheim as well over time....

[idle storm]

Not really? Every new biome after BF is hard when you get there first, but once you get some gear upgrades and learn the proper tactics they become reasonably comfortable to navigate imo.
Ashlands has low visibility and a higher enemy frequency than you're used to, but once you get some gear upgrades and figure out how to fight them effectively it's no different.

And for Ashlands specifically you can just replace "learn the proper tactics" with "Trollstav & SotW"

[pliant hatch]

I've been there in the PTB, so I know what Ashlands is like. And it's a lot easier now as it was then.

I've also seen how people keep making the same mistakes in Ashlands and thus keep dying over and over again.

But what I meant was in general.

There simply are players who keep making the same mistakes. Entering a new biome, after trashing the monsters of their previous one, then thinking they can deal with everything that's ahead of them and forgetting about being a bit more careful.

So they come in, "guns blazing" and yelling 'Leroy Jenkins', 'Geronimo', 'Gung Ho!' or whatever, only to be killed by the very first group of monsters they encounter.

And then you see posts like this: "OMG! Those greydwarves are so annoying!" (after entering the BF from the Meadows.
"Swamp is too hard. The Draugr archers kill me in a single shot!"
"What's wrong with the Wolves? They oneshot me after they staggered me."
"Fuling swarm is so annoying! They keep circling around you and then another one kills you from behind!"
"Mistlands is so annoying! You can't see shit and before you know it you're killed by seekers or an army of ticks! And that horny floating brain is burning the shit out of me!"

So for that kind of players, learning to be a victim in this game is something they should do.

[pliant hatch]

Bit hard to do until you have found the right items for that.

[idle storm]

fair enough

[pliant hatch]

And on top of that, Ashlands can be very rough at the start, or very easy. It all depends at where you land.

I've seen players struggling through their landings because they were unlucky enough to land close to a Charred spawner, a Volture spawner and a burning forest.

But I've also seen players having an easy landing with barely any monsters nearby, a Dvergr outpost not too far from where they landed and enough room to set up a temporary base by raising some land to make it (near) inaccessable for the biome's monsters.

[heady parcel]

Argh, my ash swine won't mate. One stands sulking in a corner while the other one is constantly running around like a hyperactive puppy

[tacit crystal]

Quite well put, but you forgot: "What's wrong with these necks in Meadows? They just swarm you and nibble you to death!"

Joking, but those people usually have no patience to prepare meads, better foods and more upgraded gear to make the next biome easier to conquer. Many cases of those are still using Mountain/Plains tier foods when going in Ashlands lol.

[pliant hatch]

Well, that's a fact for sure.

I've seen players enter the plains while still using a combo of cooked meat, sausages and honey.
Then running in a village and wondering why they weren't able to block a common club-Fuling's hit.....

And no, I'm not a good player. Above average, perhaps, but certainly not good.
And I can say that, given that in my last play session I was able to drain 3 tar pits close to one another after sniping off the growths, yet died of a Fuling (which turned out to be a 1-star) because I lost sight of him while trying to deal with the spear throwing Fulings.
Which I decided to take out first when I got killed by one not that long before, when trying to deal with a sword wielding Fuling.
Which I wanted to kill first, because previously I got killed by one of them after dealing with a torch wielding Fuling.

And all that within 90 minutes.......

My only "excuse" for that happening to me, I'm playing at Hard and although I made it to the plains, I'm still not used to the extra damage the monsters do at that level.

Which also means, Mistlands is going to be "fun". 😁

[heady parcel]

I still haven't died to enemies in Ashlands, I'm being overcautious and have quickly used up my stores of frost arrows. But damn you die quickly in the lava - no headroom for sloppy jumping there, gotta stay focused...

I quite like morgens, they are fun to fight.

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, which reminded me that I have had my Hard preset run on pause for a long time. Maybe I should continue that.

[vague helm]

Does anyone play valheim in polish?

[pliant hatch]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.

[nocturne tusk]

Can you dig under/out a sealed tower and make it blow up?

[vocal rivet]

No, I'd keep sliding off the keys.

[tacit crystal]

I wouldn't understand a word if I did.

Jk, Thorin linked a channel where you can search Polish people to play with.

[rain flare]

Ash swine 😂

[rain flare]

Agreed with all this

[vocal rivet]

What did you think Asksvin meant?

[rain flare]

I never really bothered to translate 🤭

[stuck stirrup]

u can make portals and eyescreams (food) and etc

@hushed marlin

[silent oriole]

did you by any chance check if both are dudes? 😂

u need a mountain mob drop for eye scream

[keen trench]

almost useless after you maxed the armor set, you'll need small amounts for some later weapon and if you want for some purely aesthetic craftables from traders

edit actually a single later weapon: ||you'll need 10 total to max the swamp-tier spear||

[silent oriole]

troll hides aren't treasures

[keen trench]

nope, you can sell just gems, amber and silver necklaces

[silent oriole]

like... throw away 🤷🏻‍♂️

[keen trench]

you don't have to keep everything you find, later in game you'll be able to craft a station that turns eccess materials into coal

[silent oriole]

boy that thing is such a waste of time ngl when u can burn wood stacks for 50 coal

it isn't an island.

[keen trench]

this said i always keep a good amount of everyithng stored somewhere beacause the game isn't finished yet and you never know (still imo unlikely for troll hide to turn useful in future but not impossible)

[tacit crystal]

If you have surplus of coins buy lots and lots of fishing bait and turn them all into coal, lol.

[keen trench]

right, but if you really don't want to throw anything away for some reason, that's the only alternative with a small bit of use

[silent oriole]

i rather spend my money on spices or mead bases ngl

[keen trench]

yeh after bog witch update coin surplus is much less of an issue for most players (me included), but not for all eheh

[silent oriole]

especially when it seems that the areas with money are earlygame, and endgame u do not get a lot to make coins with.
so you either move back to dark forest, swamps or plains and farm fulings

[keen trench]

oh i made quite a good amount of gold later than that (||emptying infested mines in mistlands||)

[silent oriole]

okay idk what would be there to make money off. and i be honest, i rather go to the other places than look for those in there

[tacit crystal]

You need 900 gold to fill Obliterator full with bait. I have many chests full of gold in my current main world so gold is not an issue lol.

[tacit crystal]

That is mainly how I've acquired my chests of gold.

[keen trench]

yeh it's literally ||coin piles you can pick up in mines' secret chambers||

[silent oriole]

you are the 1% 🤷🏻‍♂️

[tacit crystal]

I know, maybe should have clarified "my chests".

[silent oriole]

oh yeah. well. have come across 2 in 2 biomes, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[tacit crystal]

1% of what?

[keen trench]

that's all about RNG, i found a lot in a couple ml patches, literally doubled up my treasure room

[keen trench]

eheh you did! i meant they're tons of coins ||138.5 avg per pile i checked||

[gray cairn]

I feel like that's such an explout myself, I just don't use that "feature"

[keen trench]

nah me neither, actually never crafted one, but i kinda feel the itch when i have to throw away stuff (maybe also running a bit afar to allow despawn) so i can understand some might find it useful

[gray cairn]

I meant burning 50 wood into 50 coal. It feels like it shouldn't be possible.

But yeah, I also don't really use the obliterator, I just pollute the closest ocean 🤣

[keen trench]

oh that, uhm i'm actually enjoying it (it's the first time i try a seed with fire hazards turned on) but yeh, it could be a bit of an exploit 😇

i consider it a qol balance for the risk of burning down my house (piling excuses ofc)

[silent oriole]

why is it an exploit. burnt wood turns into coal

[tacit crystal]

It's no problem in Ashlands where things set to fire.

[keen trench]

it could be seen as an exploit because it's really fast in comparison to what the game balance asked before that (charcoal kiln pace), anyway no big deal for me jk

[gray cairn]

Just my POV, I think it's chill if anyone else uses it.

I feel like it makes sense to have the chore of making coal, which is what kilns are for, using a match to instantly transform 100kg of wood into coal within 30 seconds bypasses that chore a lot, I just personally prefer using the intended way, if that makes sense.

Just me 🤷‍♂️

I think it could work with single wood items maybe, and it stops working when it's a stack of 2 or more.

I think there's already a mechanic that does that, remember reading it on the wiki but I don't remember what it is
