valheim-chat

[plush umbra]

Yeahh, someone told me to make tree houses on the swamp, so I can farm better there

Unlocked stone builds yesterday, so I can try to make one

The problem is that here in Brazil there are few Valheim players. Only the dedicated servers have a good amount of players... there are servers with more than 60 players in one world...

Oh, I'm from Brazil too!

yes, the tree house helps a lot... the tense thing is the haunting

Didn't think I would found another brazilians here lmao

[plush umbra]

Good luck with the stone buildings, it took me a while to understand the physics of the game's buildings... I'm used to other types so I got bugged hahaha

Are you Brazilian?

[ivory sage]

i never wanted to build a tree house, because wraiths fly pretty high in the canopy

[plush umbra]

caralho q doideira

[plush umbra]

Yep! É os guri

KKKKKK

So, won't speak further in portuguese cause of rules lol

[plush umbra]

I will make some silver weapons to deal with It

Just need to get enough iron for a mace

[ivory sage]

iron weapons kill swamp mobs good, just use parries like there's no tomorrow

i used to hate how wraiths float back when you parry them, forcing you to inch their way to hit them

but the biggest surprise is the abomination, which you can also parry easily

[pliant hatch]

That's why I used a bow with fire arrows when dealing with a wrath.

They certainly don't like that one and it saves me from running after them.

[ivory sage]

wouldn't the wet effect negate them?

[nocturne wolf]

Rain only applies wet to the player. Creatures need to go into water.

[ivory sage]

that's disappointing, and i avoided using fire arrows in the swamps because i believed this was the case

[plush umbra]

I'm gonna use the mace to counter the stone golem

[ivory sage]

you know, i don't think golems are from norse mythology

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim isn't trying to be entirely accurate to norse mythology

[ivory sage]

i know, but i had that argument thrown at me when i suggested some not so norse ideas for how to expand the ocean biome

[plush umbra]

I think a midterm Is good, gives more options for the game developers

[mighty drum]

thats the beauty of valheim, having diverse and complex environment base in norse mytho

[plush umbra]

Oh, some people are just rude sometimes

But theres lots of cool people here

[ivory sage]

i'll post the idea i had here too… in half an hour, because i forgot the lightbulb

but that's peanuts to waiting two hours for berries to respawn

[soft finch]

HI THERE FOLKS , IM hosting a game for a about 200 days now and my friend is unable to join , the server is modded , but even in vanilla he cant join me what would be the problem here ? he can join my other friend no problem but not me ,
he just did a factory reset

HELP ! WE ARE AT OUR WITS END nothing seems to work and it makes little sense why , Anyone?? (mention me in the reply pls)

[gray sand]

#dedicated-server

[deep smelt]

Hello, I am an admin and moderator on a handful of Valheim Discords and servers and I was wondering if we were allowed to share information on someone that is currently griefing servers and actively asking to join others? Or do we just let such things go here and let it run its course?

[near furnace]

That's what @dusky pivot is for

[deep smelt]

Thank you.

[soft finch]

??? what do you mean dedicated server ? , im not on a dedicated server

[gray sand]

Multiplayer issue will have better advice from the channel dedicated to multiplayer people. 🤷‍♂️

[soft finch]

owww

[gray sand]

?

Sorry for causing pain.

[plush umbra]

Hello Sevrahn! Thank you for educating me more on parrying and blocking, I'm destroying a lot of enemies now >:3

[gray sand]

He hath become death... the destroyer of biomes.

[plush umbra]

It's just a question of time and resoucers ... until they perish

[mortal oriole]

Great! Sword and Board, need da board!! I play on Iron Realms, and the mini elder bosses tossing vines everywhere needs lots of blocking before you get close!

[gray sand]

🤔

That sounds very #mods-discussion

[plush umbra]

Oh, the Elder I just jumped with 4 friends and we kept coming back until he died, each of us died 2 times i think

We all are mostly new to the game

[tacit crystal]

Sounds like you're having fun, I presume.

First time is something magical really.

[plush umbra]

I am! I need to stop using the wiki, cause it spoils the fun

[tacit crystal]

I recommend that highly. Finding out by yourself is more satisfying really.

Damn, that wave of reactions from @rain flare was a sight to witness lol.

[plush umbra]

Lmao, I found It cool

[plush umbra]

Yeahhh, and I love getting scared by the creatures without knowing anything, makes it magical

[rain flare]

It makes me happy when people appreciate the game for the first time 🥰

Seriously, Valheim is one of the best games ever made

[teal zealot]

Anyone want to take me through the game im so useless, but i must get to the end of current early access ending

[gray sand]

🤔

[teal zealot]

What?

[gray sand]

I'm just trying to comprehend the "I want someone to play the game for me" mindset.

[teal zealot]

i said take me through the game not play it for me.

[pliant hatch]

You may consider to ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

It's the channel where others post their games, and it's likely there's someone in there who can help you in their game. Or your game.

[teal zealot]

got ya was waiting to post when it allows thought id ask in chat so long. im sorry to disturb you guys.

[gray sand]

Clarify the difference?

[vocal rivet]

Why would it not allow you?

[teal zealot]

said slow down

[teal zealot]

instead of observing an activity, id prefer to get involved and learn how to do it

[pliant hatch]

Taking someone through the game means the person needs someone to carry them. Which also means that the one who's in that game is able to do things themselves.
Playing for someone, kinda means that the character is played by someone else. At least up to some point.

[teal zealot]

for example building, farming.

[vocal rivet]

Best way to learn is by doing.

[teal zealot]

ive tried, you guys are misunderstanding me, i love this game. i just obviously have zero skill

[keen trench]

well it could be fun activity if balanced, eg with my beginner friend i force my char to equip/eat with host's progression limitations, also made a dedicated char with same boss progression, balancing helping & no spoil too much is fun time to me .. this said i would recommend to try solo, no wiki, try-die-learn at least the first time since it's the best thing i remember playing

[teal zealot]

its not the repetitive dying or the struggle in obtaining resources i like that.

[keen trench]

and it can't be reversed*

[teal zealot]

what cant be reversed

[keen trench]

the very first try'n'learn solo experience relying only to in-game hints, awesome times

[teal zealot]

yeah i played solo things were moving and then it happened, i hit brickwall i could not go any further, then i played trio with experienced players i was a fly on the wall it was a complete carry. they were great fun though. but i guess ill just try again solo

[vocal rivet]

Being led through the game by someone with 1000 hours in the game is not going to be a great experience.

[teal zealot]

i understand that.

[keen trench]

very first 70/80 hours me and two friends were very convinced deers smelled players and approached from upwind, priceless times

[tacit crystal]

Another day, another appreciation to Klossen.

[silent oriole]

imagine you find a fern dvergr farm. and the only thing you do not want to spawn spawns instantly right in it. and destroys all the shit.

[ember panther]

I really wish I could forget this game and experience it new again

[gray sand]

Couple of good shocks to the brain will sort that 😏

[wintry valve]

Theres a lot of games I would love to experience again

Im thinking of Nier Automata, but there are many more

[plush umbra]

If I could I would replay all my games again, I have the bad habit of getting spoilers before playing

[wintry valve]

some games gets absolutely obliterated if you read about spoiler stuff beforehand

Other games less. Id argue that Valheim isnt a game you can really ruin the surprise because the worth of it isnt about discovering stuff but rather taming the new stuff presented to you

I guess you can ruin the fun by reading on how to do stuff tho

[plush umbra]

Yeah, I ruined a few parts, decided to got trial and error now

[void turtle]

I think somehow Valheim made me better at Elden ring

[plush umbra]

Maybe the parrying and dodging?

[void turtle]

I never dodged in valheim, so I think the parry timing helped me get better at timing my rolls in Elden ring

[silent oriole]

i really hope this fortress will have a ||bloodstone|| for me

[void turtle]

Assume for the gem cutter

[tacit crystal]

Could be also new magic toys that require it.

[rose parcel]

how long do wolves take to tame

[merry pebble]

Same as all other animals you can tame, 30 irl minutes 🙂

[rose parcel]

wait how do you punch a drake

[merry pebble]

You lure him down 😉

[silent oriole]

nah. have that stuff already. i need the ||dundr, which opposing logic needs a blood gem and not iolites...||

[void turtle]

Ah

[void turtle]

How do you caress a greydwarf?

[silent oriole]

but hey, the chests outside gave me 3x ||jade and blood stones||

[merry pebble]

Gently ^^

[silent oriole]

i will be severely disappointed if it doesn't rekt everything

[void turtle]

Remember, theres always commands

[rose parcel]

how do i pet a hare

[gray sand]

With your bow.

[plush umbra]

With a sword

[gray sand]

*axe

[rose parcel]

wait no thats mean

[plush umbra]

Yeah, you should use the arrow too

[gray sand]

That is what must be done.

[rose parcel]

can't i tame them?

[gray sand]

No.

[plush umbra]

Yep, just sneak behind It and use a knife!

[tacit crystal]

That one is a fun toy.

[void turtle]

Do it sensually

[silent oriole]

ok it is disappointing...

it's not ||thunder,|| more like Vetfartr

[tacit crystal]

It's good in right uses. Especially against ||Morgen, who are weak against lightning||.

[silent oriole]

well. the issue is, i expect it to be much stronger than the ||lightning mace|| because duh, u cannot shield the unpredictable stuff from one

but that would require it to idk, 4-5hit one. and i veeeeeeeeery much doubt its that strong

[tacit crystal]

2 shots when it's staggered.

And, it's fun to shoot logs around. #memes-and-clips message

[silent oriole]

2 shot one. thats crazy

those fuckers are still my biggest enemies in ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, like I said they are ||weak against lightning|| so they take more damage from it. And since they are large targets you rarely miss them.

[nocturne wolf]

Morgens aren’t too bad, the only things I don’t like about them is how their limbs have separate collision and they feel too tanky with stars (Which is actually a problem for a lot of late game enemies ).
The Valkyries are probably me least favourite because sometimes they can be a bit tricky to hit with melee weapons.

[tacit crystal]

I find it easier to hit Valkyries with spears due to higher hitbox.

[runic spoke]

knife*

[nocturne wolf]

Big knife = better knife

[mystic raptor]

When I craft in this game does it automatically use items in nearby storage containers or do I have to pickup every item needed to craft a given item?

[azure yacht]

second

[mystic raptor]

Did the devs ever explain how that sort of tedium adds value to the experience? I’m sure there are mods to help with that but it’s a bit of a turn off for something I have an interest playing

Sorry if I sound snarky about it. As it turns out I’m snarky about it 😀

[azure yacht]

inventory management being a core aspect of the game

you would have 0 reason to organize materials in chests if you could automatically craft anything from nearby containers as it'd be pointless to do so

[mystic raptor]

Organizing chests is just more tedium from my perspective. I’m playing a game to get away from the chore of real life.

[slim remnant]

theres always hello kitty island adventure

[nimble moss]

There are specific mods that solve this if you want. If you head to #mods-discussion they will point you in the right direction

[mystic raptor]

Thanks for your input even if it’s what I wanted to hear.

[mystic raptor]

I’m listening 😀

[gray sand]

Did the devs ever explain why having to touch the ground adds value to the experience? I'm sure there are mods to help with that but it's a bit of a turn off when flying everywhere always would make the game better.

[tepid prawn]

Imho its what made another game worse, flying does not fit in every game, I think lots of games gain a lot by just leaving it out, besides that you can already do it, Gjall, Squito etc technicall just a bit tricky a full blown flying mount imho would be bad for the game, it would make lots of challenges go away, and if you do it at the very endgame, then there will be no content to use it for.

And its extrenely hard to fully lock it and make it so people can't get it early.

Imo the only real hard lock right now is black metal and flour after Moder, some of the things to do with the artisan table, only get that with killing moder, almost everything else can be worked around and skipped around to your hearts content depending on your game knowledge.

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve gone pretty high on a volture before. Valheim already has flying

[tepid prawn]

Agree, I don't think it should get easier than that.

[gray sand]

Make Ashlands ocean 5x hotter so it cannot be skipped around 😏

Lock Frost Mead progression behind Bog Witch 😏

[tepid prawn]

Doesnt work, I already sometimes die getting the meat

[tepid prawn]

locking behind merchants which can be hard to find instead of bosses... hmmmm not a fan

[gray sand]

Both of those suggestions are not practical. 😂

[tepid prawn]

there is so many skips, like oozer iron, fishing is also insanely OP for this, you can get silver and iron from it and barley for instance, also onion seeds

its totally OP but because of that and it takes time it does add depth to what you can do

[gray sand]

The only progression thing I skip is grabbing Oozer iron because you get so much stone mining copper that I feel like not being able to build with it until hours later is sort of a miss.

[tepid prawn]

Also early onions and some fished silver for the cauldron upgrade can be fun

so you can eat onions from meadows to plains until you have enough blood pudding

[gray sand]

Haven't found Haldor this run so fishing will probably be a Mountains thing if I find a rod there first 😂

And I personally hate onion soup.

Duration way too short for me.

Turnip Stew is like -5 stat for +5 min duration and +1 healing per tick

[tepid prawn]

I'd rather eat onion soup then meadows to swamp tier stam foods, its also so cheap

[plush umbra]

HELL NAH, I already can't handle the golems

[gray sand]

😁

[tepid prawn]

also turnip is the second stamina one anyway, I always go HSS at that time

[plush umbra]

Got turnip and just got some onion seeds

And Im getting some wolf food from killing them

[tepid prawn]

Wolf skewers are one of my healtjh choices in mountains

[gray sand]

I'm getting used to HHS on the hope they let us play with the starred spawn rate in 1.0

It also allows me to be more aggro in multi-enemy scenarios because I can ignore some hit to burst down multiple targets and then worry about blocking when I'm down to the last couple.

Like HHS vs. Yag allows you to just stand in the fire half the time so he dies faster.

[plush umbra]

I prefer HHS right now, but I can try some hss

[tepid prawn]

I stand in the fire with HSS 🙂

I do HSS all the way until I get first eitr food in Mistland

[mystic raptor]

I get there’s lots of choices to make when building a game and they don’t all have to make sense to anybody. It just seems like a common choice/oversight to make base inventory management a chore. I’ll die alone on this hill.

[silent oriole]

people like inventory management.
for anyone else: mods exist

[mystic raptor]

At least in this game there seems to be good mods for it. I don’t know yet - still waiting for humble to restock steam keys.

[vocal rivet]

No such thing as a good mod.

[lunar sapphire]

I disagree

[mystic raptor]

Not even a good qol mod?

[vocal rivet]

Also, inventory management is hardly a chore in this game. It just takes a bit of forethought before setting out.

[vocal rivet]

Alright, you're not too bad.

[lunar sapphire]

❤️

[mystic raptor]

I don’t care for altering a game outside of what the devs intended.

[silent oriole]

don't mind it. not worth the breath.

[vocal rivet]

Was I just referred to as 'it'? That's rich coming from a letter.

[mystic raptor]

I spend all day in planning and forethought. Game are what I want to escape to.. maybe I need to reconsider my life choices.

[silent oriole]

a statement is an it.

[mystic raptor]

But inventory mods are qol and those don’t count

[silent oriole]

it's your game, play it in whatever way you want to 🤷🏻‍♂️

[mystic raptor]

I want to play it as the devs intended… except for anything tedious haha

[gray cairn]

Even the ones that are such good ideas they become an addition to the base game?

[vocal rivet]

Then they're not a mod, they're the game.

[silent oriole]

re-read the statement

[mystic raptor]

Maybe they think the mods here are “no good”

[lunar sapphire]

Question of the day:

Why is modified Valheim content being discussed outside of the recommended channels?

[gray cairn]

Didn't realise, my b

[mystic raptor]

I won’t mention mods again here.

[silent oriole]

jokes on you, i am sting-resistant

[lunar sapphire]

Lost me at sting

[vocal rivet]

You're not ban resistant though.

[mystic raptor]

• Crickets *

[vocal rivet]

Is DirtyDangles streaming something called Trailmakers? The thumbnail is still Valheim but the game reads Trailmakers.

[silent oriole]

i'll be fine, thank you very much.

[lunar sapphire]

All goods

[vocal rivet]

Wasn't sure without popping in and I didn't fancy it.

[gray sand]

Can we have a #moderators-discussion channel where we can all talk about you? 😏

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you don't have access?

hi guys

[weak basin]

isi there any eta for the deep north?

[gray sand]

No.

[weak basin]

rip

[gray sand]

Also no.

[weak basin]

what..

[gray sand]

Them taking the time to do it well and release when it is ready is not "rip".
It is what more companies should do.

[weak basin]

"rip" theres no eta for the update

smh

[rose parcel]

skill issue

[rose parcel]

no but im guessing next year with an update of similar size to the bog witch update this year

[mystic raptor]

Organizing chests… I could probably find the skill to do it very well but I might has well stop lying to my wife about getting ahead at work after hours and do some real life chores. It’s probably more of an attention and interest issue.

[royal seal]

hey, how high do I need an asksvin pen to be? they keep climbing over each other, and now one of my prime asks is lost after (persumably) chasing a deer :')

[undone forum]

Honestly at the point just put a roof over it or at least an inward overhang

[royal seal]

but what if it looks ugly :(

[undone forum]

Better than having asksvin running everywhere\

[royal seal]

tbh, in an ideal world I could move all my beasts to the plains. Or to the meadows base, and I can have the asksvin and loxen free-roam; I have a herd of loxen roaming freely outside my farmhouse in the plains. I bred them with the intent of slaughter but ended up with so much wild lox meat that I never slaughtered the herd and they just kept growing.

[silent oriole]

wasnt bog witch really small tho?

[rose parcel]

more of a medium sized

[silent oriole]

it added just the witch hut, feasts, some farming equipment and some food items, didn't it?

[rose parcel]

yeah

im saying there would be another update of a size like that before deep north

[silent oriole]

compared to a biome in my head thats tiny 🤷🏻‍♂️

ah

[rose parcel]

im guessing deep north would be bigger than ashlands

[silent oriole]

not a fan. gimme biome.
atleast bog witch is crazy good as an npc unlike... hildir

[rose parcel]

how many armor points should i have going into the mistlands?

[silent oriole]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[royal seal]

level 3-4 padded armour should work

[rose parcel]

i have level 3 troll armor

[royal seal]

general rule of thumb is to have maxed out armour of the previous biome when going into a new bi-

you survived mountains and plains in that??

[rose parcel]

i havent beat elder yet

[royal seal]

oh

[rose parcel]

but i have taken out a decent amount of fulings

[royal seal]

yeah, it's good with bows.

iirc I used troll then jumped right to silver/wolf armour.

[rose parcel]

i have been using a knife

[royal seal]

helmet and chestplate, anyways. Never got heavy pants, upgraded from troll to fenris to mitigate the movement loss from the chestplate + tools/weapons/shield.

[royal seal]

ah, makes sense. What knife? bronze?

[rose parcel]

chitin

[royal seal]

ah, that's a good one I think

[silent oriole]

i mean if you are good at parrying, u can run around naked 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose parcel]

Why parry when you can dodge roll

[silent oriole]

same same

[languid elbow]

Does anyone know how to get the blackmetal axe and pickaxe? I've done everything in mountains, am currently in plains and getting blackmetal, but can't find the recipe for axe or pickaxe

[willow summit]

Bonus damage + stun

[willow summit]

Axe you need more materials from plains. Pickaxe you wont get in plains

[rose parcel]

The pickaxe seems to need mist lands materials and the axe needs linen thread

[willow summit]

Or just spoil it entirely, sure

[languid elbow]

okay, ty.

[languid elbow]

No? Doesn't make sense I have to go to a further biome to craft stuff from plains 😄 I only played when game first came out, so haven't done mistlands before

[rose parcel]

I'm not saying anything about what's in the mist lands though

[willow summit]

There was no blackmetal pickaxe when the game came out, it was added with mistlands. Thats why you have to go there for one of the components

[languid elbow]

hmmm thought there was. been a while though

[willow summit]

Nope. Ended at iron until that update

[languid elbow]

i've already ran around in mistlands. killed some bugs. a huge flying butt. rabbits. some dungeons. dwarves

[willow summit]

You need the axe to get the pickaxe

[gray sand]

BM Pick needs Ygg wood.

[rose parcel]

Yes

[willow summit]

Black metal axe cuts the mistlands trees. That wood gets you the BM pickaxe

So your path is linen thread -> bm axe -> yggdrasil wood -> bm pickaxe

[languid elbow]

ty ty

[rain flare]

My friends and I went to the mistlands without one the first time we were exploring 😅😂

[nimble moss]

You don’t even need the axe technically; but makes it easier…

[rain flare]

True - but finding seeker soldier wasn’t possible at the time 😂

[cunning steeple]

how much longer until we get 1,0

[gray sand]

5,000,000 years.

[rain flare]

#memes-and-clips message

[azure yacht]

You don't need pickaxe in plains, you do in mistlands

Pickaxes are mainly to get resources from the next biome, not just make mining easier.

Bronze pickaxe is literally the only exception of this

[nimble moss]

and dverger buildings can give up to 12 - dont have to find a soldier

[rain flare]

Huh…
Didn’t think of that

[nimble moss]

the mind of a speedrunner is always looking for the shortest path 😉

[wary bane]

Can lox take down yggdra trees?

[nimble moss]

no

[tacit crystal]

Afaik Lox can't, but Seeker Soldier can.

[rigid cypress]

Does anyone want to play with me in the mistlands?

[tacit crystal]

You might have better success by searching or posting in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[rain flare]

But the slow and steady always wins the race! 🤣

[rain flare]

I have seeker soldiers breaking things burned into my brain from the initial release 😅

I played in mistlands on my first world by visiting an area I already explored (so everything was empty unfortunately).

This culminated in fighting a seeker soldier while he smashed his way throw all the trees in the nearby dark forest (killing a troll on the way 😵‍💫) before I wore him down with a few hundred frosty arrows 😂

[charred otter]

I played a few months ago, and now getting back into the game, I am confused, is there no inventory button? I can only see my entire inventory if I open a chest or smthing, what about just opening it without any container? I couldn't find any buttons

This kind of stuff would be very useful if I want to switch gear or tools

[languid elbow]

they have darksteel nodes in the plains, silver axes won't break them. Of course I'm getting darksteel from mobs, but was trying to mine it too

[near furnace]

TAB key? 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Black metal cannot be mined. It is found in chests or dropped by Fulings.

[languid elbow]

maybe it's a mod then, I am on a modded server...we have darksteel nodes in the ground

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it would be modded

[steel copper]

I hope they revamp the plains biome. It feels underLOVED

[dreamy shadow]

why are you feeling that ?

[mild widget]

Can we make Straw hat one piece reference?😭

[near furnace]

won't happen 🤔

or do you want mistlands mist in plains?

[dreamy shadow]

I don't understand why he thinks plains are underloved..

[steel copper]

you seem to think I am along in thinking this

[dreamy shadow]

Could you at least give some arguments ?
Or just put suggestions on the channel ?
Cause even if you're not alone well not everyone think the same

[steel copper]

No dungeons, fewer enemies, no dark metal mining requirement just to name a few.

[charred otter]

Oh yep thx, I somehow missed it when going through the settings

[nocturne wolf]

Raiding fuling camps is much more fun than mining though
And in my opinion better than dungeons because you have room to move

[dreamy shadow]

If I'm right there are Hildir's towers, and camps of ennemies. And for the mining question what I find interesting is that every biome has a different method to get ores

It's original

[steel copper]

dungoens and frost caves offer both

if the fulings were guarding black metal deposits

[nocturne wolf]

They guard chests of black metal which are faster to loot

[steel copper]

not very creative to have it just loose in boxes, feels tacked on

like they forgot to do something with it

[nocturne wolf]

You can find iron loose in chests in the sunken crypts too

[steel copper]

as well...in blobs but that's not the point

[dreamy shadow]

on the contrary for me it's so more creative than some other games. Most of them settle for doing the same mechanics for every regions. Here each biomes has new reflection to give something new

[near furnace]

no. but developers and players aren't always agreeing

like. many people want dungeons in every single biome in valheim

[steel copper]

when do they ever lol

[near furnace]

and their reason for it

"because there is dungeons in other biomes"

like WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT IS THAT

"just because"

[steel copper]

Anyway I didn't want to start a debate, just suggesting like many others that the biome seems underdeveloped compared to the new ones and even Mountains
If that is not obvious than feel free to disagree

[dreamy shadow]

My main question remains why "underloved" ?

[near furnace]

I don't mind debates

but since we are working towards a 1.0 with deep north biome as finish

going back to re-work or add more things to a "in our minds" completed biome, isn't very likly

[steel copper]

I did't say I don't enjoy the plains biome but it has less STUFF in it
Maybe that's the intention.

[near furnace]

it is

the intention

it's inspired by LOTR

[mild widget]

What are your plans after the 1.0 update @near furnace ?

[steel copper]

if you mapped out Valheims development just using the biomes you might notice plains was a break point before really new cool stuff was added lol

[near furnace]

the running over the fields part of Lord of the rings, where the wolf riders are on their trail

the stone building in plains is even copied from the movie 😄

[dreamy shadow]

Now that you are talking about it 😯

What I love in plains are these vast expanse of beautiful and calm landscape, and then BAM ! A deathsquito x)

[near furnace]

this one

[steel copper]

Side note, after Satisfactory 1.0 was released their best update (IMO) was 1.1 which added a ton of quality of life features.
Is that door really shut then?

[near furnace]

I wouldn't say closed 🤔

we have some ideas for past 1.0

but the main progression will be what it is

but say achivements

we don't want to undervalue over make them harder. once they are added

[steel copper]

fair enough

[near furnace]

but what would you do to plains?

[nocturne wolf]

#suggestion-discussion message This is all plains needs

[rain flare]

Rides an Asksvin into the sunset

[rose parcel]

Add ducks or something, maybe a new kind of meat with it too

[near furnace]

what would ducks add?

besides people wondering wtf ducks do in the afterlife 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I said here they just need to swim around and be awesome like necks

[rose parcel]

They're cute and silly like necks are

[near furnace]

then absolutly not

1. it's a boring plain normal human animal
2. no
3. doesn't add to the gameplay besides you can kick them around for exp training

[dreamy shadow]

Maybe they have different feathers for different arrows 🤔

[near furnace]

hard enough to get people to use anything else than wood arrows 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Throw bread and they go crazy

[dreamy shadow]

I tried 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/zelda-chicken-attack-maxou-kid-poulet-gif-27496397

this would be the only reason

damage 1 of them, and they all come kill you

[dreamy shadow]

Would be so fun 😂

[near furnace]

yeah. once

could possibly work as a april fools joke event

[rose parcel]

Will there ever be cats or something similar?

[steel copper]

give fuling furances and dark metal structures we can destroy
Where do they even get their dark metal from?

[near furnace]

no

cats goes straight into valhalla

[rose parcel]

Oh makes sense

[near furnace]

and my collegue answered that question on her instagram takeover 🤔

which I would recommend everyone here to look at

Lisa is our main Graphical artists.

[azure yacht]

is this another pointless debate about "i want these things pls add them NO IDC THAT YOU DEV I WANT THEM NOW I IMPORTANT YOU NO"?

[near furnace]

no

[steel copper]

Plains could have a new light armor set, I think its the only biome without one

[near furnace]

it's more respectful than that 😄

[near furnace]

yes and no

[azure yacht]

another day to add to the counter then, we're doing well

[near furnace]

Hildir which unlocks fully when you complete her request. gives you tons of clothes 😄

[rose parcel]

Will deer be added to valheim

[near furnace]

oh deer

[steel copper]

yea, might as well just close the suggestion channel so they don't have to listen to whiny kids asking for stuff in their game because when do they even listen anyway....

[nimble moss]

the only change (balance) I'd like to see in Plains is a "minimum distance to boss" added to Yag boss markers, so the meme of boss markers next to Yag is fixed, given there are so little of them (relative to all other boss markers)

[dreamy shadow]

But what about beer ? 🤔

[near furnace]

that I can agree on

more potential boss markers in plains

[hard sluice]

what is wrong with the plain biome? 😦
i love it

[rose parcel]

We have mead in tankards though

[steel copper]

it got a lot bugs

[nimble moss]

if they were added as a small % chance to villages - OR simply make the stonehenge spawn a marker 100% of the time. Stonehenge is rare enough - doesnt need to an extra roll

[undone forum]

Plains in my opinion is the best

[hard sluice]

i get scared of the beehive noises when i spend too much time in the plains : P

[dreamy shadow]

Not the same but true x) luckily it doesn't give a drunken effect

[undone forum]

And no it’s not just because I don’t have to mine for black metal

[hard sluice]

in my 1st solo game, i did spend a lot of time looking for yag. i finally found a marker... like 20 meters from the boss xD

[rose parcel]

Maybe more jerky could be added, I think deer jerky is a real thing

[nocturne wolf]

We just got feasts, we don't need even more balanced-stat food

[rain flare]

Only thing I would like for the plains is linking it to that lorestone about meteorite’s hitting the ground and getting turned into weapons

You don’t make it a common occurrence, just an Easter egg like Thor or Odin

In a land far from here I once saw a star come unfastened from the great curtain of night and fall into the sand. It glowed red when I approached but by morning was cool. Blessed sword-flesh, furnace-food, a gift of strong metal from the Gods!

[dreamy shadow]

Curious about that, are you using something like PCG in UE5 ? To generate a given numbers of a given object under certain conditions ?

[nimble moss]

@near furnace - do you remember this conversation about crossing to Ashlands

got a new method/trick to get across without a boat I worked out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAkvVYjEbBs

[near furnace]

PCG?

[nimble moss]

They have a custom procedural script they wrote. It is pseduo similar to PCG in that it is "rules" that define how things are placed

[dreamy shadow]

For procedural content generation

[near furnace]

I actually had a simular experience yesterday, but without the feather cape

[near furnace]

of course have

[dreamy shadow]

Oh ok ty !

[near furnace]

we tell the game. "Generate between X and Y number of <this> thing"

it's why some swamps are without a single dungeon, and some are littered with them

[dreamy shadow]

Ok, we didn't learn much things for the moment about procedural mechanics, so I was just curious ^^

[near furnace]

depending on how much % of the map contains swamp biome

but valheim uses Unity game engine, and not unreal

[dreamy shadow]

In your opinion would it be a "must do" to learn unity for professional world ?

[near furnace]

<-- not a programmer

[nimble moss]

Step 1 - close Unity.
Step 2 - download Unreal
Step 3- learn some Unreal courses from Udemy - Stephen Ulibarri I highly recommend (he has amazing quality courses)

[near furnace]

step 4. don't pay for unreal
step 5. find GADOT
step 6 . victory

[nimble moss]

not a sledge at Valheim for using Unity - but if you are starting a career - I'd start with Unreal

[nimble moss]

you only pay if you make money - and 99% of games dont 😉

but yes - godot too is a viable option

[dreamy shadow]

Lucky me school pay it for us, but it will be hard afer studies I assume 😅

[nimble moss]

basically anything apart from Unity

[nocturne wolf]

Gadot? You mean Godot?

[nimble moss]

Unreal is free unless you make money

[dreamy shadow]

Oooh didn't know that

[near furnace]

Goldot, Gadot, Godot, Gotot

🤷

[azure yacht]

with arguably the most difficult option?

Godot should be first priority then

[dreamy shadow]

Thanks for answering this kind of question ^^

I heard a lot of people saying "you should learn Unity" at school

[near furnace]

unity is a programmers favourite

[dreamy shadow]

Ok 👍

[near furnace]

unity also have student licenses etc etc etc

so like

all 3 works just fine

[rain flare]

Me just getting hauled into the lore again.
Going through the lorestones reading up on Ulf, Astrid, Bjorn, and the others

Ashlands lore is so depressing 😭😭😭

[dreamy shadow]

I'll surely take look someday, never too much knowledge

[halcyon elbow]

ah yes the lonely valheim player, the anti social gamer who plays the same game over and over again looking for more purpose, more purpose...some purpose...any purpose ...

next patch

**everyone plays valheim for two weeks again **

[rain flare]

Yeah, that question mark was my brain as well

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/thegoon-bigoldgoon-ted-lasso-yes-yes-yes-yes-gif-701975896996955852

[charred otter]

Is there any reason to not smelt ores (ie: iron), or is the raw form only used in smelting so it's fine to smelt all?

[azure yacht]

it's only used for smelting

[nocturne wolf]

The pure metal is often (or always idk) heavier than the materials it's smelted from, so it's easier to transport by cart as an ore

Iron is definitely heavier

[charred otter]

I see, I guess I have enough iron so I can just keep it unsmelted

[near furnace]

enough iron? 👀

now that's a rare statement

[rose parcel]

How do you get iron before the sunken crypts

[merry pebble]

You dig in swamps 🙂

[rose parcel]

Ok

Should I have black marble before the elder

[merry pebble]

Obviously not 🙂

[rose parcel]

Then why do I have it

[merry pebble]

Because you broke progression 😄

[rose parcel]

Seekers aren't even that hard to kill

[merry pebble]

I am not saying they are am i 😉

[rose parcel]

I guess not

Black marble looks cool

[merry pebble]

That it indeed does 🙂

[undone forum]

That is rarely true

[inner nimbus]

So I have a unique opportunity to get some Dvegr gear by killing 1 mage. Should I do this and escape?

[rose parcel]

What do you mean gear

[inner nimbus]

The Extractor for roots

[rose parcel]

Ah ok

[nocturne wolf]

You usually need to fight a lot more than one mage so it’s definitely worth it

[inner nimbus]

Cool

Sorry was fighting a 1 star soldier by kiting them to herds of Lox in the plains

It takes 9 lox to kill a 1* Soldier

[tacit crystal]

Taking mages first would be the best, in order of priority: 1. ice, 2. lantern, 3. fire mage. With root harnesk you can tank the shots of rogues.

[steel copper]

I have a small gripe with Ashland rock spikes in the ocean. They are often too close to each other making it impossible to navigate the very LARGE new ship through

[wispy monolith]

Woa wait there is a new ship?

Did I make my dockhouse dock ports too small?!

[inner nimbus]

Probably

[dreamy shadow]

It's a purpose to make the Ashlands hard to access

[inner nimbus]

They're small enough to full send a longship in though

But it will break up by the time you reach the shore

[steel copper]

so you not suppose to be able to sail there...ok

[nocturne wolf]

You are but you have to find a path through instead of sailing straight to land

Probably to give you more time to encounter the Voltures and Bonemaws

[steel copper]

I hate reversing irl so not happy about it with a massive boat

[inner nimbus]

Gjall should not be both ranged and melee with their ticks

Ridiculous

[nocturne wolf]

Just think of the ticks as very smart projectile attacks

[inner nimbus]

That move as melee. Annoying AF

[nocturne wolf]

They aren't that bad

[inner nimbus]

I am not very good at dodging. I prefer to block

Rolling around isn't what I am meant to do under pressure

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping is often better than rolling

[inner nimbus]

Is it?

[rose parcel]

Yeah just bring a 2 hand weapon

[nocturne wolf]

It costs less stamina, doesn't lock your movement and allows you to perform another animation such as an attack or consuming an item while dodging. And while in the air, you aren't slowed by your attack animations.

Jump attacking allows you to start an attack from further away or can be used as a fast way to counter an attack that is too strong to parry

[inner nimbus]

Okay Mistlands solo is gonna suck

Trying to get some petrified bone for black marble.. 3 seekers

At least I got the Gjall

Found a nice Dvergr bunker, might take it over

[mortal oriole]

So looking forward to starting on a highly modded server this weekend! Any suggestions?

[nocturne wolf]

I suggest that you bring this to #mods-discussion instead

[mortal oriole]

Nah, I'm not discussing a particular mod, asking if anyone can suggest a good modified server.

[heady parcel]

Still not the right channel, you might get lucky on #1024264966712340510 but in here you'll only get grumpy response

[mortal oriole]

You have a point, I am reading up, here and in suggestions, some loud people dislike mods, but they don't represent the the majority.

[pearl thorn]

hellloooo

[heady parcel]

It's just the discord's etiquette, we keep any discussion on mods or servers this and that out of the valheim chat. This channel is for discussing the game as is. Like or not...

Plus I believe we got some stats on how many players use mods the other day, and it's something like 15%, so it seems the vast majority actually do play the vanilla game.

[mortal oriole]

Oh, maybe it would be best to rename the channel to Valheim Un-modded and put something in the channel description. Just an idea 💡

[heady parcel]

Most importantly, the rule is to not discuss mods or show screenshots with modded content in the regular channels, because it can confuse the heck out of players who are new to the game and get the idea modded content is part of the core game.

[echo wind]

That's an oxidizing oxymoron

[buoyant panther]

Maybe, but that would also involve renaming the help channel, bug-reporting channels, and dedicated server (all meant to prioritize vanilla game help). Much cleaner to point folks to #mods-issues, #mods-discussion, #mods-screenshots and #programming as needed.

(imo)

[vocal rivet]

I'm not sure why this is even a discussion still.

[fast basalt]

hello

can anyone help me on my server

no one??

[buoyant panther]

There's a good chance. If it's an issue while running the dedicated server program, #dedicated-server will offer more fine-tuned help. Either way, give us an idea what you're encountering.

[vocal rivet]

Without knowing your issue it would be impossible. You also waited a grand old time of FIVE minutes.

[fast basalt]

just need someone to play with me cz its to hard to play alone

[buoyant panther]

Cool deal. Head on over to #1024264966712340510 and give a look around. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to post one of your own.

[tacit crystal]

To add, if unsuccessful to find group for some reason, there are world modifiers where you can lower the difficulty until you've adjusted.

[royal seal]

you can block ticks

[inner nimbus]

I never considered that

Thank you ❤️

[royal seal]

only roll if they actually attack to your back, but if they attach to your front you can just hit them like normal, at least with a sword, and you can block them if they try to jump you

[tacit crystal]

They are weak against pierce, so atgeir/spear/Porcupine deal better damage against them. Or if there are many of them, big AoE like iron sledge deals them quickly (||and later Demolisher||).

[mellow ore]

best iron wepon?

[merry pebble]

Depends 😄 everything other than axe i would say

[nocturne wolf]

If you just want one weapon the mace will likely be best as it is significantly stronger than other options against Bonemass and Stone Golems

[hearty niche]

I had a dream last night that Deep North was released.

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe wants to have a word.

[nocturne wolf]

Battleaxe is good, but the regular axe is not

[merry pebble]

Well that one is included since i singled out the normal axe 😄
-# tho i admit i forgot about it xD

[tacit crystal]

But yeah, 1h axe is very skippable since bronze axe works even in plains.

[mellow ore]

when deep north releases is that the end of the game

[azure yacht]

Yes

[vocal rivet]

There'll probably be an ending after defeating the boss, but yes, the Deep North update will be the final content update.

[vapid hearth]

Man, the humble barrel has to be one of THE best additions to the game BY FAR
Compact storage with two extra slots? Count me in!

[ember panther]

How do you get the barrel? 👀

[merry pebble]

Go to Haldor and look what he sells 😉

[ember panther]

Huh somehow i missed this update. I haven't visited him in a while

[tacit crystal]

It was added in Bog Witch patch.

[mellow ore]

can bosses have stars?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[ember panther]

That'd be interesting actually... for future updates. I'd like to see a stronger version of elder. One of my favorite boss fights

[merry pebble]

You can give them stars using commands 😄 (They will still look the same tho.)

[vapid hearth]

Managed to craft a Frostner before beating Bonemass. This feels great
Gonna see if I can find some more silver with my dowsing stagbreaker to upgrade my bow (or preferably find the bog witch first for dem sweet sweet buffs). Maybe also after getting my hands on some onion seeds

[mellow ore]

how do i place an iron cooking station without it destroying

[azure yacht]

you can't

[mellow ore]

wdym

like i want to use it but whenever i place it it just destroys it self

[azure yacht]

i misread what you said.

iirc it needs better support/stability

[merry pebble]

Are you placing it on wood floor?

[azure yacht]

place it over a hearth

[mellow ore]

yeah i am

[merry pebble]

Make a stone floor or raise ground do it is basically the floor and put it on that 🙂 then you can place wood over the ground or stone if you want, and what Rianu said is quite common and good idea, place hearth on the stone/ground floor and then put the station on it

[mellow ore]

okay thanks

guys what skill does a mace take

[merry pebble]

Clubs

[untold willow]

just got to the mountain. any tips for death runs? no spoilers please

[merry pebble]

Keep a stash of frost resist mead at your base 🙂

[untold willow]

yeah but the wolves just outrun and 1-shot me

[gray sand]

Pro Tip: Don't die.

[untold willow]

Awesome

[merry pebble]

You should be able to dodge them 🤔

[rose parcel]

no you can outrun it, just dont use armor that weighs you down

[merry pebble]

At least not for the corpse run 🙂

[untold willow]

ehhh i got lucky and none spawned

idk how to outrun them, i run out of stamina and they attack constantly

so they get 1 hit in and it's over, can't really juke them around terrain either when jumping takes so much stamina

[mental wren]

Yeah, go for stamina food and eikthyr power, and run for your life. It works as long as you can keep track of the terrain. I'd also recommend a small stamina recovery pillar just outside the mountain as close as possible.

[gray sand]

@untold willow what's your food?

[mental wren]

Noice good recovery.

[untold willow]

i didn't have any good food but i do now

[gray sand]

That doesn't answer the question 🙃

[untold willow]

i mean i know i should've had stamina food

so i'm telling you i didn't have any

[gray sand]

Specific names of food items plz 😭

[untold willow]

i got like a boar stew and some sauce rn

[gray sand]

Neither of those is a thing?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, no stam food is a bad idea 😄 best of luck in the future

[gray sand]

There's a Deer Stew.

And if "some sauce rn" = Minced Meat Sauce -- food is a biome behind, which would be why wolves cause you problems.

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[royal seal]

if you had to assign a realm to each biome, what would they be?

My initial thought was Meadows - Midgard, Black Forest - Vanaheim, Ashlands - Muspelheim, Mountain - Jotunheim, Mistlands - Niflheim, and Deep North - Helheim, but this leaves two biomes (not counting the ocean for obvious reasons) and three realms that don't fit cleanly.

[royal seal]

Locate structures near/in mountains, mark them. Wolves can't cross thresholds (from my experience) so you can use that with either an atgeir, spear, or bow to safely kill them. Once you have mountains-tier armour you should be good to fight them normally. Also, in a pinch, the Bonemass power will be super useful.

[potent atlas]

Has anyone here tried the plan build mod??

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[ivory sage]

wish you could use staves as melee weapons when out of eitr food

like in hexen when you run out of mana

[lunar sapphire]

I have wondered how Stu is getting on these days. Been a while since I've heard from him

[wispy monolith]

does anyone know if the "no build cost" option applies to crafted items? or just crafting buildings? and what about building add on peices? like forge and crafting table addons

[grand juniper]

So I started a new game and then used a console command to get my unarmed fists to level 100. When I went to fight some basic greylings and boars I found I did the same amount of damage if I had level 20 fists? Does leveling up not give more damage?

[earnest dust]

i just realised one of my favourite things for valhiem will be achievements when it fully releases

[vocal rivet]

One of your favourite things about the game is something you haven't seen yet and that doesn't even exist? That's... a shame.

[earnest dust]

Its something to look forward too, a way of being able to show progress

[vocal rivet]

Your progression in the game shows your progress.

[earnest dust]

you seem to lack the comprehension for my statement so ill leave it at that

[vocal rivet]

Wow, unnecessarily rude. Probably best to leave it then, yeah.

[earnest dust]

Sorry derek i'm not a fan of blunt needless responses!

[vocal rivet]

You're very good at making them!

[earnest dust]

Ah well could have gone without this!

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, blocked. No time for this nonsense.

[wintry valve]

He blocked you. You are now devastated.

[earnest dust]

This is true, can i send you a picture of my tear bucket that is currently full

Im that devistated bird right there...

[wintry valve]

As for acheivements, im sure the games will have them once its "completed". Who knows when that will be, though.

[earnest dust]

hopefully before 2026 me and my friend are planning to do our first modded playthrough when its in 1.0

gonna get a mod so he can build a tall ass wizard tower without it collapsing or needing 100000 flametal bars

[wintry valve]

This being said, I never was a fan of achievements. I dont mind if they dont put any.

[earnest dust]

I've always been a fan i like being able to look back on when i have done something and the milestone i have achieved

[wintry valve]

Perhaps. I just didnt grow up with those.

[earnest dust]

i've been scrolling through dereks previous messages bro js seems like a nuisance that calls anyone that minorly disagrees with him a troll 💀

[inland lake]

I first played the game 2 years ago, and would comment stuff in here and get similiar responses. some things never change

[verbal geyser]

guys are maces and hammers(frostner) count as a club in skills?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes. Also, frostner is just a mace that looks like a hammer.

[verbal geyser]

guys do i really need to craft Linen cape? i have max wolf cape should i switch it?

[nimble moss]

no

[verbal geyser]

so wolf is ok?

[nimble moss]

you dont "need" to craft anything. All capes have same armor apart from one at the end in Ashlands - you just decide - some have additional special stats

[verbal geyser]

so im gonna kkep wolf thanks

[tacit crystal]

Linen is a bit downgrade as it doesn't have the cold resistance like wolf/lox cape. But it is only cape that can be crafted with different colors, like most round and tower shields.

[rain flare]

Linen cape is purely for the looks
Any other cape has a function to it

I’m hoping that the linen cape is changed so that it gives you some benefit to using them

[verbal geyser]

not really xD

[rain flare]

?

[near furnace]

as intended

[gray sand]

Just wear no cape. Problem solved. 😉

[rain flare]

I can live with that I suppose… 😂

I can’t do that! 😅

I love my cape too much.

How would I do my dramatic swish swish entrance if I don’t have my cape??? 😂

Carapace with no cape is a whole look tbh.

And it also saves me an inventory slot 😁

thx a lot

[steel copper]

ChatGPT made this for me 😄
#screenshots message

I asked how it would improve the plains biome

[dreamy shadow]

...asking an AI how to improve such a game...

[idle storm]

and it gave you fenris armor basically

with the troll armor bonus on top

truly AI is the future 😂

[dreamy shadow]

I find this really reducer to compare human devs work to AI suggestion

[steel copper]

The response from AI will always be as informed as the data it's given.
If it has to find out by itself it get vague and makes mistakes

[dreamy shadow]

AI is also programed to never contradict the interlocutor and try to give what this last wants to hear

[steel copper]

confirmation bias at it's worst

[tacit crystal]

Do you like maces/clubs as weapon class?

Do you mean the knockback?

It has same range as swords.

Slightly better reach than 1h axes.

[unreal cipher]

Frotsner has good spirit damage and cold to slow, with big knockback with the alternate attack. I prefer the silver sword against undead. No, stone golems are immune to spirit damage, so an iron mace is best against stone golems.

[tacit crystal]

Against stone golems Frostner is worse due to the frost immunity of golems.

And also ||the boss is immune to frost damage||. Wolves and residents inside frost caves don't have resistance against frost damage so Frostner deals good damage against them.

No there isn't.

Frostner is viable for the next 3 biomes tho.

Better depends on the situation. Have you tried battleaxes before?

[unreal cipher]

iron mace is the first weapon I make from iron. silver sword is the first weapon I make from silver.

[lusty dirge]

Don't forget the fang spear, it's very cheap and does good damage even against plains enemies (not stone golems though)

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe might take some time to get good with it, it has slower primary hit combo, but it has good crowd control abilities as its primary hits have no multi target penalty and stagger multiplier is higher, plus secondary attack is quick and has also higher stagger and knockback.
Draugr Fang deals higher damage than Huntsman but drains bit more stamina. Huntsman bow has special ability to create smaller area of noise when hitting targets, possibly alerting less enemies.

I also prefer Huntsman over Draugr Fang tbh. Huntsman with Frost arrows is really good combo.

[lunar sapphire]

You put a mead base into a fermenter to turn it into mead, which can be used in the same way as equipping an item/eating food

[mellow ore]

how do i spawn bosses it only lets me spawn eikthy

You spawn everything the same way. You can check the wiki page to find a boss' id, because it's not always the same as their name.

okay thanks

guys what kind of set i need for mistland? i have max fenris armor is it ok? or shoul i craft padded set?

[tacit crystal]

Fenris is fine, just don't facetank hits.

Fenris legs, Root Harnask and Padded Helmet (replaced by Carapace helmet later) might do.
If you like magic you can switch to the Eitr set later.

i havnt tried magic. is it mistland thing?

[tacit crystal]

Yes. You will unlock means to use magic (called eitr in game).

[verbal geyser]

ill use fenris then. the speed buff makes much fun to play and i think my dodge skills are decent so i hope it wont be problem

[tacit crystal]

You could switch Fenris chest to Root Harnesk in case of need - seekers and ticks both deal pierce (seekers 2/3 of their attacks).

[verbal geyser]

hmmmmmm aight we ll see

if i get like over 40-50 damage with fenris set against em ill switch it

[merry pebble]

And to not loose speed (and to actually gain some) you can make ratatosk potions 🙂 +lightfoot mead will also come handy in mistlands

[verbal geyser]

i havnt even defeted plains boss yet

[verbal geyser]

what is exact name of that? i couldnt find on fandom

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Tonic_of_Ratatosk
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Lightfoot_mead
😄

[verbal geyser]

first is for running sec is for jumping right?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[verbal geyser]

cool cool ill give a try on em

[tacit crystal]

Lightfoot mead is unlocked in Mistlands. Tonic material is bought from the Bog Witch.

[merry pebble]

Aaaah, true, you need something from mistlands for it, i dont use it so i forgot 😭

[verbal geyser]

yeah it want Scale hide

[tacit crystal]

Your viking is going to suffer from liver cirrhosis.

[verbal geyser]

anyways i think its not that imp as a ratatosk

[merry pebble]

In mistlands you will apreciate it very much 😉 i am almost certain of that

[nocturne wolf]

It depends on the situation. It can help a lot for dodging some taller attacks, especially when combined with the feather cape.

[verbal geyser]

is dodging count as jumping?

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping is usually better than rolling to dodge attacks

[merry pebble]

No, Blob is just a really invested in dodging by jumping strategy 😄

[merry pebble]

But not as reliable unfortunately 😦

[tacit crystal]

Jumping doesn't give the i-frames like dodging does.

But jumping over the hitbox is the idea.

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t know exactly how long the i-frames are but surely in some situations and with the feather cape a jump could keep you safe for longer

[merry pebble]

But only if you actually get out of the way, the main advantage off roll is that you can just go through attack without much worry

But potentially, yeah, especially if you have the ||feather cape || 🙂 (mistlands spoiler)

[vapid hearth]

Do abominations still have set spawnpoints or do the spawn randomly?

[nocturne wolf]

They never had set spawn points

[pliant hatch]

There is a way, however, to see if a tree stump in the Swamps is an Abom or just a "normal" tree stump.

Aboms seems to "sweat", thus leaving some drops coming from them and fall into the water / on the land every once in a while.
They also have some green (mossy??) stripes on them and are somewhat more bright green as the "normal" stumps.

Both can be seen before entering their aggro range on foot, but if you have doubt, plant an arrow in them. Aboms will certainly be triggered when you do that. 🙂

[verbal geyser]

guys is it normal that my windmill thingy is not turning?

and its not making any flour

[pliant hatch]

Do you mean spin with the wind or adjusting to the wind?

Both should happen in the game, but some biomes have less or much weaker winds than others; which may have its influence.
And Meadows is a biome where winds occasionally seem to drop down to near zero speed once in a while.

[verbal geyser]

it just started to working lol

i think that the wind that u talking about

[vapid hearth]

Oh yeah, the Plains is quite windy

[verbal geyser]

im in meadows

[pliant hatch]

Probably.

In general the plains is the best biome to have a windmill, but that would also require to either build a farm-base or move your base to that biome entirely.

Considering you can grow all crops from the previous biomes at plains, having a farm-base or moving your base there is worth it.
But it'll be quite some hassle when you want to do so.

[verbal geyser]

why its gonna be hassle?

[pliant hatch]

Good thing there are portals and 18 cargo slots in a Longboat. 😄

Well, if you want to move your entire base, it also means you need to build a new house, workshop, all crafting tables with their upgrades and move all items you gathered over time.

[verbal geyser]

oh not entire fs

i was talking about to just build a farmbase

[pliant hatch]

Oh, farm-base isn't that much of a hassle.

Simply build the windmill, a portal to quickly jump in and out, cultivate some land and set up defenses.
You can spawn proof it with camp fires, workbenches or even torches, set up a palisade wall with 1-2 wooden gates around it and you're good to go.
And you can use it as an exploration point for that part of the plains.

[sharp flax]

Is this an international server?

[gray sand]

There are people from multiple countries in this server, yes.
But it is an English-only-speaking server.

[whole oasis]

gang do ancient cave markings do anything?

[pliant hatch]

Nope, they just add a bit to the lore of the game.

[true cosmos]

wish my friends were around so we could progress

😭😭 and I gotta find bonemass on my own world

[whole oasis]

thankss

[charred otter]

So I defeated bonemass, now what? is the only thing it unlocked is the || bone thingy || ? or did it uncap me or smthing in terms of gear?

[vocal rivet]

The thingy IS gear that'll be very useful in the next biome..

[charred otter]

It helps getting the resources for geetting new gear, but that's it right? now I need to find the next biome ig?

[vocal rivet]

Sure, 'that's it'...

[charred otter]

I expected getting new recipes like the 2 previous hammers or smthing

[vocal rivet]

When has a boss drop ever done that?

[charred otter]

The stagbreaker/iron sledge r from after killing the boss no?

Or am I misremembering (haven't played in 5 months)

[tacit crystal]

Nope, both are able to craft before Bonemass.

For Iron sledge you need to find Haldor and get one specific trophy tho.

[pliant hatch]

1st, 4th and 5th boss give items that unlock new recipes.
So in regards of that you're correct.

2nd and 3rd boss give you an item that's more or less a hint to the next biome; although the one from Bonemass is a bit harder to figure out as the one from The Elder.

[verbal geyser]

guys should i use BM sword instead of porcupine?

[pliant hatch]

I think it depends a bit on what.
But in general you should use the weapon that feels most comfortable to you.

[gray sand]

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

[verbal geyser]

i was started to use hammers in swamp cause u can hit more damage to bonemass with hammers and its now lvl 38(clubs) and my sword is just lvl 13. is in mistland there is have something like 'most of the mobs have weaknesses to something'?

[gray sand]

Nope.

[verbal geyser]

aight thx

[tacit crystal]

Main mobs in Mistlands (Spoiler) ||resist all physical damage types||.

[dreamy shadow]

But it's not impossible though ^^

[ember panther]

I found fenris claws actually really good in mistlands. Kick stagger OP

[echo wind]

Pickaxe against every single enemy. Got it 😄

[pliant hatch]

Nah. Using the cultivator or hoe is much more fun. 😉

[verbal geyser]

is there have some trick to find yagluth spawner?

ive searched 3 island of plains but i couldnt find it

[pliant hatch]

Look for 4-5 large pillars that are slightly bended. Kinda like fingers coming out of the ground.

If that still doesn't work, then there's the valheim map generator site, at which you can check for boss locations, but also for their vegvisirs (which I recommend to look for if you decide to use the site)

[verbal geyser]

nah i dont wanna see whole map actually and i know how does spawner looks like i just cant find it

[tacit crystal]

Or scythe.

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm, scythe with Fenris Armor and Feather cape. 🤔

That might kinda make you look like the Grim Reaper. 🙂

[tacit crystal]

The bane of crops.

[pliant hatch]

Given it's "you reap what you sow".......

[tacit crystal]

Rewards those who sow a lot aka prepare better foods.

[pliant hatch]

Well, if it would give something extra to feasts I think it might work.

[verbal geyser]

should i use my hammer or my bow for yagluth? should i get in close range?

[nocturne wolf]

He is very resistant to pierce damage, even with elemental arrows a bow won’t do much.

[verbal geyser]

blunt?

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword and frostner are the best options, because he’s neutral to spirit damage.

[verbal geyser]

Blunt, Slash, Frost, Lightning, Spirit those for neutral i think i could use frost arrow and porcupine or mybe BM sword

[nocturne wolf]

Porcupine has pierce damage so it won’t be entirely effective.
Did you not make either of those silver weapons during mountains progression?

[verbal geyser]

nah ive used iron mace for all mount era

well yea i think frostner is best one cause it have blunt frost and spirit 3 thing that yagluth neutral to

[willow summit]

Silver or black metal swords are ideal, frostner is ok

[verbal geyser]

so u would pref bm sword?

[willow summit]

Silver sword is, theoretically, maximum dps. But black metal is still v good if you dont have silver

[verbal geyser]

i have around 350 bm

[sleek vault]

If you have more skill in club then Frostner will still do just as good or better.

[willow summit]

Takes iron too, i believe

Yeah, really cant go wrong with either silver weapon

If you have a much higher club skill, go for frostner. If swords and clubs are similar skill, go for silver sword

[verbal geyser]

club 36 sword 12 lvl

[willow summit]

Probably not a huge difference. If it were me id level up sword some and use that

If youre in a rush, go frostner

[empty nest]

How much skill do you lose on a regular death? Does it scale with your lvl?

[willow summit]

You lose 5% of your skills

Which is exponentially worse as you level them higher and higher since they take more xp to gain

So at higher skill you lose more actual points AND they take longer to regain

[gray sand]

Pro Tip: Don't die.

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings

[silent oriole]

i love how you are always the most helpful peopl in here

[gray sand]

I am people?

[gray cairn]

Ppl on discord aren't ppl

[gray sand]

That makes no sense.

[silent oriole]

no, the singular of people is peopl. duh

[gray cairn]

It's a joke of the absurd kind

[willow summit]

I thought it was poople. Like how the singular of sheep is shoop.

[cyan tangle]

sorry for the question but i just recently bought the game a few weeks ago and i'm ignorant about the development cycle, I heard there is going to be an update with a new biome and wanted to ask if posible, when to expect such update or like the timeframe it takes based on previous updates of that nature?

[gray sand]

When to expect and timeframe are the same answer:

When it is ready.

[vocal rivet]

If you've just started you'll be nowhere near the end anyway yet so you'll have plenty of time.

[cyan tangle]

we reached mistlands with my friend, while idk how long it would take us to clear the next 2 biomes so we wanted to know if when we finish if it would be reasonable to wait or just create a new world meanwhile or something idk

in any case is there a place to check previous versions then?

[vocal rivet]

What do you mean 'check previous versions'?

[cyan tangle]

i kinda forgot the word for it but i found it so dw

[verbal geyser]

guys i just kill the yagluth and now what should i do? i can craft wisp fountain wth is it for?

[vocal rivet]

For collecting wisps.

[verbal geyser]

any biom?

[vocal rivet]

Yes. But only at night / in the rain.

[verbal geyser]

is there is have any way to make night?

[cyan wind]

If you’re asking about day/night cycle.

Day time - 21 minutes

Night time - 9 minutes

[verbal geyser]

is there anyone using DeezMistyBalls mod?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[silent oriole]

until you enter ashlands. then night is 29.5 mins and day 10 secs 😐

[cyan wind]

Haven’t gotten to Ashlands yet 😵‍💫 just started the Mistlands!

[nimble moss]

And to expand on this; since it is always raining in swamp, it means it works there the whole time.

[marsh barn]

is there any consistent way of stacking reinforced chests without having to free-place them? i want to keep things as organized and uniform as possible

[silent oriole]

u could create tight shelves.

[tacit crystal]

If you are looking for an area where either condition is always on, swamps is always rainy.

[plush umbra]

Is it normal to have Mistlands/Plains enemies spawn in meadows?

[nimble moss]

After you kill the relevant bosses; yes.

[plush umbra]

Figured that was what was happening but wasn't sure, thanks

[rain flare]

My favourite biome! 🥰

[wooden tapir]

Mistlands is my favorite so far, might change with DN since i love snowy biomes

especially if you find a nice island with no mist

great building location

[charred otter]

Does the || wishbone || "intense ping" will be obvious? and is it a sound, or visual or both?

[merry pebble]

Both, and yes it will be obvious 🙂

[charred otter]

Ok good, cuz my hearing isn't great and didn't want to miss (really nice accessibility to have both)

Is it worth making || obsidian or frost || arrows for || drakes || or is it better to use fire arrows? || fire arrows do over time dmg which I like ||

[merry pebble]

Definetly not frost arrows, they are immune to frost (tho in later biomes frost arrows stay as one of, if not the, best ones you can get), so obsidian would be better, but for drakes even flint arrows are enough 🙂 if you already have fire arrows or if you are used to them then just keep using them. For mountain boss and after you will want at least the obsidian arrows tho.

[charred otter]

Ye I have like 200 fire arrows so I'll go thru them, they seem to be weak to fire so I thought fire arrows might even be better than obsidian on them, is obsidian better only for the boss or also for the other mobs (compared to fire)

[merry pebble]

Also for other mobs, and for drakes too, they are indeed weak to fire so the arrows do 44 dmg total to them, and obsidian arrows do 52 dmg 🙂

I usually go through all the arrows i looted from Black Forest and Swamps before crafting and using obsidian arrows

[empty nest]

The "people" of discord

[rigid tide]

is there any tips for getting non-log trolls to consistently groundslam?

I am "mining"

[nocturne wolf]

That attack has a 20 second cooldown

[charred otter]

Any strats for making sure I got all the silver and haven't missed any?

[silent oriole]

dig around the node.

i mean that is usually the better way to mine anyway, since u hit the node once and it breaks

[charred otter]

So it's all connected?

[silent oriole]

a silver node is usually a big Y in the ground. if you dig the stone around it away, then climb it and break the middle, it all collapses.

[charred otter]

Alr thx

[silent oriole]

(multiple could overlap)

[rigid tide]

lame

let me mine efficiently smh

[silent oriole]

just get 20 trolls. problem solved

[merry pebble]

Then get the pickaxe 😄

[heady parcel]

I pick up flint arrows (and others that appear as loot) whenever I find them and use them first. At this point I reserve frost arrows and carapace/charred arrows for the toughest mobs, for general mobs I otherwise turn to massive stockpiles of needles, saves wood...

[tacit crystal]

In case of carapace and charred bones, you get quickly a surplus of both when progressing throught Mistlands/Ashlands, bones even faster than carapace.
Frost arrows tho, they require active hunting of drakes if one wants to have enough of them.

[charred otter]

Is || wolf hide || the heavy or light version? or is it the only version?

[tacit crystal]

Only version.

[pliant hatch]

Wolf armor you mean?

It's the heavy armor for mountains.
Fenris is the light one.

[charred otter]

Yea the full name is "wolf hide <piece>"
How do I get fenris

Without too many spoilers, is it just killing some mob in mountains?

[pliant hatch]

You need to enter the frost caves for that and collect the ingredients from it.

[tacit crystal]

Mobs don't drop it but inside the frost caves you can find it.

[pliant hatch]

Be aware, though:

There's one monster type in the forst caves that will trigger a raid which will kill your (farm) animals if you keep those animals in an open pen at your base.

[charred otter]

Then why did u say only version lol

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe he thought you were talking about the wolf hide item

[tacit crystal]

Yeah I meant the wolf hide, which is needed for both heavy and light armor.

[charred otter]

My new base doesn't have any animals (also is it the || golem thingy || cuz I killed 2 already)

Ah I see,

Also which version should I go for, or what mix of them

[nocturne wolf]

I usually make wolf armor because fenris armor takes a ton of RNG

[pliant hatch]

Nope, not the Golems.

But if you don't have animals at your base, the raid will just be downright annoying. But still possible to sit out easily.

[serene talon]

i usually have the fenris pants on to just move a bit faster, but for combat i put on full heavy armor

[tacit crystal]

Fenris seems to be goto for many players since it is the only armor that ||increases your movement speed|| plus ||other bonuses||. Mix of both heavy and fenris is also good.

[pliant hatch]

For plains and Mistlands, Fenris pants, Root Harnesk and the heavy helmets are considered a good combination. Especially since the fire weakness of the Harnesk can be countered with the Barley Wine potion.

But for exploration of Frost Caves......... Better not use the Root Harnesk, as things tend to get hot in there once in a while.

[charred otter]

And cape is only wolf hide variant no fenris?

[pliant hatch]

No fenris cape, no sir. Not at all.

[rich nymph]

how mapless gameplay work? is there compass or something? im lost XDD

[charred otter]

So I'd probably make helm/cp of wolf hide at the minimum and fenris pants

[tacit crystal]

You can navigate with the help of Yggdrasil root up in the sky.

[pliant hatch]

You can use the large Yggdrasil root in the sky to navigate.
Players also use the paths you can craft with the hoe and set up beacons with signs along coast lines.
And lastly, the old use-a-pen-and-paper-and-draw-the-map-yourself trick still works.

[charred otter]

Also is it worth getting the draugr bow at this stage or do I wait for a diff bow? huntsman seems decent for now

[willow summit]

Draugr is one of the best bows. Huntsman was the one worth skipping 😉

[pliant hatch]

That's a matter of opinion.

Some likes the Huntsman bow because it requires less stamina to use, while it's also more silent.
Others prefer the Draugr Fang because it does more damage and has the additional poison damage. But the poison damage doesn't stack, meaning you either have to wait until the damage runs out or accept that you will reset the DoT-timer with each hit.

[willow summit]

I also consider the material cost of iron vs silver myself

[tacit crystal]

It depends if you seem it worthy. Draugr Fang has more damage (plus extra poison) but also more stamina cost. Thought Huntsman bow has special ability that other bows don't have: it makes noise in smaller area when hitting enemies, possibly alerting less nearby enemies.

[nocturne wolf]

I usually skip draugr fang

[tacit crystal]

However, silver is easy to mine and usually plentiful and needed mostly for Mountain tier weapons, so you could craft one and test by yourself.

[charred otter]

Ok I am getting very conflicting answers, so I guess I'll first get all the essential silver stuff before crafting it, and then just see if I like it

[tacit crystal]

There is no right or wrong answer, solely depends on individual preference.

[pliant hatch]

That usually happens if you ask if it's worth to use a certain weapon or which weapon is the best. People have different preferences, so you get conflicting answers.

One thing you can do is simply compare things on the wiki as it has all information you need: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Weapons#Bows

[nimble moss]

The difference in DPS between huntsman and draugr is negligable - its barely noticeable in reality - especially when you factor in higher DPS arrows like frost + obsiden etc.

The difference in practical application of the huntsman vs draugr is huge - you'll be alive many more times because of the huntsman not pulling 43 extra mobs when you shoot things. The ability to "snipe" mobs and pull them single (or in a much smaller group) is grossly undervalued by most players.

This allows you to get many more "sneak" first shots in on the huntsman, and therefore actually have a higher DPS than the tooltip might suggest.

Optimal play could even be tag/pull with huntsman, then switch to drauger for sustained attacks.

[charred otter]

Alr thx all

[tacit crystal]

Also lox hunting is much easier with Huntsman.

[charred otter]

What's the next upgrades in terms of food? currently using sausage/turnip stew/dear stew
I guess turnip -> onion, but what for the others?
Also do I keep my iron mace or go for a silver sword or smthing? (I like swords but if a diff weapon is more effective for dmg I'd use that)

[nocturne wolf]

Keep the iron mace for stone golems. You could carry both. The silver sword is useful for the next two bosses and some enemies in ashlands.

[pliant hatch]

For food; check this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/18CIv39YFMqIhB8horGHsp2OrTB4e5zcscHPotUR8MbU/htmlview#

... or the wiki: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Food

[tacit crystal]

I prefer turnip stew over onion soup, since it's only 5 stamina difference but turnip stew lasts 5 mins longer, but there is also eyescream. Switch deer stew to wolf skewer.

[charred otter]

Aight so I'll get it now and "dual weild"

[charred otter]

Didn't notice I got the cauldron upgrade, I'd def go with eyescream, been stocking those eyes so got plenty

[charred otter]

Are certain golems way stronger than others? I have one yeeting me to space but I defeated others that barely knock me back

[azure yacht]

There's only one golem

[nocturne wolf]

The knockback of their attacks is either 120 or 130 depending on the attack, so there's not much noticeable variance there.

[charred otter]

I might've been behind a rock or smthing that blocked it

[tacit crystal]

Actually 2 kinds of golems, other has spike hand which deals pierce when attacking with it.

Similarly how we have troll variants: with log and barehanded.

[charred jasper]

yo im looking for a dedicated server to play on with preferably rpg type mods, DM me

[tacit crystal]

You can find people here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[nimble moss]

Incorrect. There are two types.

[rose parcel]

No, monstrum adds the obsidian golem, it's not vanilla

[tacit crystal]

One golem with 2 different variations.

[nocturne wolf]

Nobody mentioned an obsidian golem

[willow summit]

Incorrect. There are 2 golem variants in the vanilla game

[rose parcel]

Ohh that's what you mean

Yeah there's 2

I didn't understand what you meant by type

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, other variant has spike hand and other doesn't.

But they count as same mob.

[nimble moss]

It’s like log troll and other troll.

Same for golem.

And that means different attack types, resulting in different kickback.

[tacit crystal]

That's what I meant.

[merry epoch]

My first feast has been made!

[willow summit]

Im a log troll after eating mexican food

[tacit crystal]

Wouldn't that be if you have not eaten enough fibers?
After Mexican would be the opposite, afaik.

[willow summit]

True. Maybe im more of a growth after mexican food

[charred otter]

Does the wishbone still activate even after I dug out all the silver?

[nocturne wolf]

No. If it is, that would be because something else is nearby.

[charred otter]

Alr thx

[willow summit]

Once you hit the actual silver one time, the wishbone stops detecting it

[charred otter]

Good to know, it ended up being another vein which was nice

[willow summit]

Yeah i once found 4 right on top of each other. I wish all ore were as easy as tin and silver considering how much more you need of it

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @rain flare With extra care.

[rain flare]

It despawned!
Some unstarred asksvin ate the food I left out for it

I know where they spawn now, so I will just be patient and try again

It was just too close to morning
Had to spend part of the night hidding from it so the thing de-aggroed enough to feed

[heady parcel]

What the heck has happened in my Ashlands? Been away doing other things for a week, building an asksvin farm etc, and now that I came back every single charred I meet is a one-star. Every damn one (and it is not night, so I'm confused). No spawners nearby so they have to be "wild spawns". What are the odds?

[rain flare]

You know what?
The old wolf tower has never failed me
I'm gonna build a tower next to where I found it and wait

[tacit crystal]

Digging a pit and dragging it with harpoon helps a lot or letting it jump towards the pit.

[rain flare]

Well, consider how far away from the center of the world you are

All mobs get a chance to be starred the farther from spawn you are

[tacit crystal]

That's RNG for you.

There is 10% chance an enemy spawn with 1 star, and another 10% chance to gain another star, so 1% chance for spawning with 2 stars.

[tacit crystal]

Grausten tower won't catch fire. You can also build grausten wall and roof around the pit after you have left enough foods for it.

[rain flare]

I'm building a tower on top of a stone pillar

I'll portal inside and just see how this goes for now

[heady parcel]

And so on... So now that I have just killed 11 one star of all three kinds and two non-starred ones, I think I'm ready to go buy a lottery ticket...

[vapid hearth]

Uhhh, how long does it normally take for dropped objects to despawn? I dropped an entire stack of silver ore to make room for some wood for a workbench to repair my cart and I might have forgotten to pick that ore stack back up

[nocturne wolf]

Is there proof of this anywhere?

[tacit crystal]

1 hour when not inside spawnproof area or over 2m deep water.

[merry pebble]

I think they are talking about the 800m radius 🙂

[tacit crystal]

And not all mobs get stars.

[nocturne wolf]

That would be completely irrelevant in ashlands

[rain flare]

I'm checking - I remembered reading it on the wiki

[nocturne wolf]

Looking through decompiled game code I can't find anything...

[merry pebble]

True true

[vapid hearth]

Dammit, only one hour to find this stack I dropped

[rain flare]

I might be mis-remembering this though...
I thought you get a higher chance of starred mobs the farther from spawn you are

Nothing like that on the wiki

[nocturne wolf]

Some creatures have a minimum distance requirement to reach a specific level but it doesn't change the chances

[rain flare]

sigh

[merry pebble]

I do not believe that is the case, creatures can have stars beyond 800m from spawn and thats it, no proportional increase the further you are

[nocturne wolf]

I thought that was only for boars

[merry pebble]

I do believe that is for all 🤔 but not 100% sure

[tacit crystal]

It has at least specified for boars.

And trolls can have stars beyond 2000m.

[rain flare]

10% chance for spawn points (mostly one time), excluding Draugr and creatures listed above.
15% chance for creature spawners.
0% chance for spawn zones within 800 meters of the world center: Boar, Neck.
0% chance for spawn zones within 2000 meters of the world center: Greydwarf brute (Black forest), Troll.
0% or 10% chance for other spawn zones (see the page for more information).

[merry pebble]

Ah, it seems that 800m is for boars and necks only, my bad

[merry pebble]

Yeah also looking at it now 🙂

[rain flare]

There goes my hopes for finding one again tonight
I've been going at this for a while now 😅

Should have prepped the tower before hand, but oh well

[tacit crystal]

Learning together.

[dense kelp]

any new players arround aswell

[merry pebble]

If you are looking for people to play with i can recommend #1024264966712340510 😄

[vapid hearth]

Half an hour left before I lose that stack
I should've taken a screenshot just in case I got lost this badly, assuming it hasn't despawned much sooner thanks to the warzone between meadows and swamp mobs
