If it's just one I go at it with Mistwalker, the frost slow is nice. But with three I didn't want to be near them, bound to get an attack slip through my rolls and parries eventually

[tacit crystal]

Frostner is bit safer option than Mistwalker due to the knockback difference.

[heady parcel]

I hate the knockback myself, plus it has truly puny damage at this point

I see how the knockback can be of use in that kind of fight, but it's not enough to drag it around when I have Mistwalker

[merry pebble]

Frostner in ashlands absolutely does not have puny dmg 😄

[heady parcel]

Ohyeah charred would be blunt vulnerable? Makes sense - but meh my Mistwalker is fully upgraded so it's good enough for me

[merry pebble]

123 dmg against charred, and no they are not weak to blunt 🙂

But yeah, i also like mistwalker better, tho frostner or silver sword use less stamina

[heady parcel]

But they are definitely resistant to pierce, cheating buggers

[merry pebble]

That they indeed are xD

[rain flare]

Considering that they are kinda...
transparent, it would make sense for them to take less piercing damage

they are already kinda see-through

[nocturne wolf]

So that’s why blobs are pierce resistant

[heady parcel]

Oh yes, I was more thinking that since they are also quite, uh, emaciated they'd be vulnerable to blunt like regular skellies. But I guess the fire has hardened their bones..

[rain flare]

Nah, for them, they are just goopy much
Not much good stabbing jelly 😆

[merry pebble]

Well, stabbing mass of jelly isnt gonna do much either xD

[ionic sphinx]

does anyone know how i can craft a shotgun? or does it not exist?

[rain flare]

A shotgun...
In valheim???

[merry pebble]

You wait till the (currently) last biome 😉

[gray sand]

Ashlands.

[heady parcel]

I would assume they're thinking of the later magic staffs

[ionic sphinx]

it was an april fools joke by the developers

[gray sand]

The lightning shotgun is a shotgun.

[ionic sphinx]

if he really exists maybe someone knows him id

[gray sand]

It's called Dundr iirc.

[merry pebble]

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

[gray sand]

Deep North lightning staff called Miffln.

So we can have Dundr Miffln. 😏

[dreamy shadow]

[heady parcel]

So I managed to capture a starred wolf, but not before dawn. So now it just stands there in the pit, ignoring the juicy meat. I guess I might as well kill this one and get a new? Or does it get hungry and tameable again next night?

Definitely wants to bite me if I hop in there with it, but it's not taking any morsels

[nocturne wolf]

The April fools shotgun isn’t in any public release of Valheim

[tacit crystal]

Wait until the next night, it will then eat the meat and start taming process.

If you leave the area it will despawn.

[heady parcel]

Awesome. I can't go out of reach though or it will despawn, right?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, best stay close.

[heady parcel]

Roger that, boring day ahead 😄

[tacit crystal]

It happens sometimes.

[quasi latch]

Vikings running around with shotguns and lightsabers would be incredibly funny, though

[gray sand]

Lightning shotgun and flame sword. We already do that 😉

[quasi latch]

Wonder if there are any good gun mods for Valheim...

[tacit crystal]

That can be googled or asked around https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 if needed. 👍

[rain flare]

Have you found boggy?

The bog withc?

[tacit crystal]

He cannot leave because otherwise the starred wolf will despawn, as it didn't start to tame before dawn.

[rain flare]

If it starts taming, won't it still stick around?

[tacit crystal]

Starred wolves can only start taming during night, otherwise it will try to run away after night so it could despawn if the taming didn't start.

If it cannot run away and you stay near it you can try tame it again when the next night arrives.

[old flint]

Any ETA on the deep north updt?

[merry pebble]

Nope, only info is "not anytime soon" and whats in #news 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is fun tool in Infested mines. 💥

[merry pebble]

It is a fun tool in general 😄

[verbal geyser]

guys can u find black core in stair entrance dungeons?

[merry pebble]

In both the types of dungeons 🙂

[verbal geyser]

i wanna kms then. i jut got my first dungeon and i didnt find boss stone and neither black core

[merry pebble]

They are simply quite rare 🙂 much more rare than the surtling cores for example

[verbal geyser]

and those mobs are TOUGH dude

[tacit crystal]

I agree, but it's fun to oneshot those big critters. 💥

[tacit crystal]

What gear do you have against them?

[verbal geyser]

padded helm root chest fenris leg wolf cap frostner bm shield(small one) frost arr with draugr bow

all of em maxed out

[merry pebble]

That should be quite good setup 🤔 what food are you using?

[verbal geyser]

2 healt 1 stamina. misthare supreme-meat platter-bread

[tacit crystal]

Seems more than good enough, maybe try salad over bread.

[verbal geyser]

total 174 stamina and 210 healt

[tacit crystal]

Bonemass helps against all their attacks.

[verbal geyser]

ive thought that but making bread is SUPER easy

im using it as well

[tacit crystal]

As is salad too.

Do you get surrounded by any chance?

[verbal geyser]

sametimes

and those littlwe bug that stick u is so annoying too dude

[merry pebble]

You can roll those off 🙂

[verbal geyser]

is ther eis anyway to get rid of em while they stickd on your back?

[tacit crystal]

You could benefit from something AoE. Iron sledge, BM atgeir, ooze bombs etc.

[dark aurora]

anyone have a better way of block leveling besides the elder? get really tired of helping him aim lol

[tacit crystal]

Do a dodge roll.

[verbal geyser]

goddam-ill use it :3

[tacit crystal]

And with root harnesk they deal less damage due to pierce resistance.

[verbal geyser]

yea thats why im using it

i wasnt using it actually but right after i got around 60 damage from them i switched right awey

[tacit crystal]

Quite funny how relevant some pieces of gear stay even after few biomes.

[verbal geyser]

fr xD

[tacit crystal]

But yeah, consider AoE weapons in your arsenal for groups.

Ooze bombs are quite good and cheap.

[verbal geyser]

why? i mean why are they that good? what are they oing ?

[quasi latch]

This message brought to you by Atgeir Gang

[tacit crystal]

They leave a poison cloud on area on impact.

They deal poison damage on enemies around the cloud, which seekers don't resist.

[verbal geyser]

ill think about it

[tacit crystal]

And, a cheesy tactic, but they can ||deal damage through doors/breakable vines, cage walls etc., making enemies unable to reach you through them doors while dying to poison damage||.

[verbal geyser]

dang

[tacit crystal]

But in general fight they still weaken the enemies by taking their HP over time while you fight them.

[echo wind]

If it has the red exclamation mark, it's too scared to calmly eat 🙂

[heady parcel]

Nah it was calmed down, but wouldn't eat to start taming because day dawned. But since I trapped the wolf it couldn't escape to despawn. I had to wait for next night...

[tacit crystal]

So it worked?

[tired geyser]

does anyone here know how to play im awful

[faint nebula]

tree fall on you?

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the bird who gives you advices.

[vocal rivet]

Pick up everything.

[tired geyser]

thats not the best advice

lol

[elder stone]

Sure it is. If it is new, pick it up.

[vocal rivet]

Why would I give bad advice?

[tired geyser]

never said it was bad lol

[faint nebula]

early-game tip. that torch is a great weapon against greylings and pigs. The grey dwarves don't like fire. they get all confused near a camp fire.
Save Mushrooms for later and mark their locations on the map.

[vapid hearth]

....shit
I just used up silver to create a silver shield to upgrade from my iron buckler... not remembering that by defeating Moder I could've just gone ahead and made a blackmetal shield and could've saved that precious silver for literally anything else... (like that silver sword to use against Yagluth or upgrading my frostner)

[faint nebula]

thats not quite as bad as making a new one when you intend to upgrade the old one.

[quasi latch]

Listen to the bird, use common sense, explore, have fun. In reverse order of importance

[potent atlas]

Does anyone know why the build option is no longer available from time to time? Could it be because of my active mods?

[nocturne wolf]

Mods can often break things that aren't related to their content

[potent atlas]

https://prnt.sc/NCuAdSDMfz_R

I have the workbench selected, but it is not visible or accessible, I must log out and reconnect and it is solved.

[verbal geyser]

guys should i use carapace chest instead of root?

[heady parcel]

There's a when and where to that. In Mistlands, most enemies do piercing damage so the root is very good, but you need to make sure to carry barley wine or an encounter with gjall will be very dangerous. Carapace is much stronger overall against all damage (except piercing), while it makes you slower. So it is pretty much up to you to decide, what you prefer.

[heady parcel]

No it despawned anyway, I turned around and when I turned back it was gone. Sigh.

[tacit crystal]

Ah, that's unfortunate. Hopefully you find another one soon.

[verbal geyser]

thanks

[tacit crystal]

It's an upgrade for padded chest for sure.

[verbal geyser]

well, i wasnt use it

i was used root

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I usually wear the full carapace against the boss.

[rose parcel]

what happens if i trap blobs in some cages

like will they poison my enemies

[faint nebula]

won't damage the cage but will attack if your in rage

bee hives make an interresting defense though.

[rose parcel]

i havent seen them attack enemies

[faint nebula]

kinda goes the other way. anemies attack the bees.

[nocturne wolf]

If they are attacked, they will poison any creatures nearby.

[rose parcel]

whats the best way to get iron without an elder kill

i wanna ignore the crypts

[faint nebula]

oozes

[pliant hatch]

Use a stagbreaker to slam the ground in the swamps. When "too hard" pops up, mine there and you might get some iron out of it

[rose parcel]

what about the mistlands

[faint nebula]

you need a blackmetal pickaxe for that

[rose parcel]

why

[nocturne wolf]

You can deconstruct some of the structures there for iron, no pickaxe needed

[faint nebula]

game design decision

[pliant hatch]

You can get iron there, but you either need to mine the old armor / sword remains or break down the structures there, using the stone cutter. Which requires 2 iron ingots to be build....

[nocturne wolf]

You can use a weapon to break it to get the iron for a stonecutter but it will be slow

[faint nebula]

in my experience, it's easier in the long run to collect about a hundred iron from crypts and be properly outfitted first.

[quasi latch]

This will likely result in significantly slower progression and recurring iron shortages, just be warned.

[nimble moss]

No, you can just break them with a stone axe

[nimble moss]

Go in mountains and loot frost caves for chance for iron ingots.

Do fishing for chance for iron scrap.

Kill Sealed tower in Plains for decent amount of iron ingots.

Kill red oozes for chance for iron scrap.

Find muddy piles in swamp for iron scraps.

Kill viaducts in mistlands for iron ingots.

I think that’s all the sources from memory.

[rose parcel]

what is a viaduct

[nimble moss]

The mistlands structures that give iron. Tall black marble structures.

[rose parcel]

ok

[peak lark]

can youi still buy valhweim boardgame?

[stiff shale]

Hey guys, anyone know if there's been any news on the next biome release?

[rose parcel]

They keep posting teasers on the YouTube channel but for a release window I would guess around December to March or so

[gray sand]

Same news as always. "When it is ready, guessing is pointless."

[rose parcel]

True

[quasi latch]

Somewhere between May and April

[rose parcel]

Honestly it would be cool if it was on the anniversary of valheim

[nimble moss]

actually there is one more source of iron; use Seeker Soldiers to smack the old bronze statues scattered around mistlands, which will drop copper and iron ignots

[rose parcel]

Cool

[silent oriole]

aren't those huge ass bridges you can find also full of iron gratings and whatnot?

and if you break down with a workbench, u iirc get iron bars?

[rose parcel]

I tried to break one of those but a gjall showed up and ruined my day

[nimble moss]

yeah - thats the Viaducts I mentioned earlier

[nimble moss]

and that's the issue with skipping the biomes. Its doable for sure - but can be painful

I guess if we are talking about biome skipping the last source of iron is in Ashlands from the ancient pots - they have a approx 3% chance to drop iron ingots

[merry epoch]

Okay so for those that were helping me earlier

I beat Yagluth solo!

[silent oriole]

yagluth is pretty free from my experience. drake and queen are much harder

[civic escarp]

Do "ancient cave markings" do anything in the frost caves? they make the cursor yellow which indicates they are interactable or smthing?

[west pumice]

Will Maypoles be buildable again in June?

[rose parcel]

Thanks

[rose parcel]

Yeah when it's summer

[tacit crystal]

Midsummer eve, to be more specific. Late June to early July is usually the time period for that.

[silent oriole]

never made sense to me why may poles are in june

[ionic sphinx]

If I don't feed the lox, will they die or just stop reproducing?

[nocturne wolf]

Animals don’t starve

[ionic sphinx]

ok how can i stop them from breeding

[nocturne wolf]

Stop feeding them

[tacit crystal]

It is a tradition in Northern countries during Midsummer which may have occured in May day way before, iirc.

[silent oriole]

i know. had smth similar in school over here with maypoles. but i remember it being spring aswell

[tacit crystal]

Some countries have similar tradition in May during the May day or Pentecost.

[heady parcel]

"Maypole" is just the English word for what we call "midsommarstång" in Sweden. Midsommar is celebrated around summer solstice, i.e. 20-23rd June. Exact date varies because in modern times we've standardised midsummer's eve to always be on a friday.

[tacit crystal]

That too, a translation thing to English.

[silent oriole]

ah i see. the bri ish ruining another thing

[tacit crystal]

Not necessarily ruining, just translating something they haven't had originally.
We call Midsummer Eve "Juhannus(aatto)" here in Finland.

[shy furnace]

Has there been any information on whether Valheim will have achievements at launch or not?

[tacit crystal]

1.0 patch will add achievements, but there is no info about its release yet.

[shy furnace]

Sweet, that's good to know thank you

[tacit crystal]

Follow https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 channel and you will get small info about the process of DN monthly during the end of the month period (usually).

[warm sandal]

I guess the May and Midsummer festivities got all rolled into one bundle there... there is maypole where I live and it is traditional to raise a maypole in may. And then there is what we call "Johannisfeuer" and that is a big bonfire made and burned on mountaintops in june... so there we are for midsummer.... I guess there are many similar traditions around europe and they just rolled it into one event in the game 😄 (waiting for the maypole to be buildable now, raise those comfy levels 😄 )

[charred otter]

After mountains do I just go into plains? should I use the root harnesk (so silver helm/root/fenris)?
Also what arrows to use? frost or obsidian or just any arrows I have spare?

[tacit crystal]

Plains is the next biome after mountain. The pierce resistance of Harnesk helps against some mobs (||Deathsquitos|| and ||spear Fulings||), but weakness of fire can be fatal against other mob (||shamans||). But that armor combo is usually my choice too when going to plains. You will unlock means to counter the weakness.
Obsidian is good, fire arrows are okay too against few mobs that are weak against fire. Frost is very useful too for slowing enemies. You will unlock new type of arrows there too.

[mystic raptor]

Are some items in the game finite?

[civic raven]

what do you mean?

in whole world?

[charred otter]

Most items are finite (as in u will eventually run out of them in the entire map)

[mystic raptor]

ie the only way to get tin is by mining those little nodes. The nodes don't respawn so it seem tin is finite.

[civic raven]

hm... dragon eggs may be too

[charred otter]

There is plenty thoough, and it'll take you years to actualyl run out

Well dragon eggs are way more scarce so that might take less time to get all of them

[civic raven]

anyway generated world is huge

[mystic raptor]

So the next question is are the items practically nonfinite. Sounds like I won't ever lock myself out of progress.

[charred otter]

I can afford both obsidian and frost, which would u say is better?

[civic raven]

you can use simple wooden arrow till the end of the game

[charred otter]

Unless you REALLY try, u will have enough items that u won't self lock

[mystic raptor]

Thanks for putting my weary mind at easy 🙂

[tacit crystal]

I'd personally go with frost arrows, since they also require obsidian.

And you will get other arrows in plains too.

[charred otter]

Alr

Thinking maybe to get another silver node first so I can max draugr

[civic raven]

if you are an archer you will get tired of farming special arrows, you spend too many of them. When you get Draugrfang with elemental damage, all around you is dead

[tacit crystal]

I usually prefer Huntsman bow over Draugr Fang, since it deals good enough damage, drains less stamina and has hidden stat what other bows don't have: it causes less noise when hitting targets, aggroing enemies on smaller area.

[charred otter]

I carry both then use one depending on the situation

[tacit crystal]

That's also valid.

[heady parcel]

Drake eggs actually do respawn though... Which I have made use of more than once to not need to ship those heavy buggers across half the world.

As for arrows I try to always have a stack of frost arrows for starred buggers and other difficult situations, while I use looted arrows of any quality whenever I shoot ordinary mobs of any kind. If I run out, I have massive stockpiles of needles anyway..

All Squitos Must Die!

[mighty jasper]

Is the ashlands music buggy for anyone else too?

[tacit crystal]

Known issue. More likely Unity issue more than Valheim only issue afaik.

[charred otter]

Nooo I had to kill || the cute beast kind from the trader, I wish they were neutral ||

[tacit crystal]

You can ||tame them||.

[nocturne wolf]

They can't hear well so they are easily avoided if you're careful

[sharp phoenix]

When an Asksvin egg hatches, does it come our hostile or already tames?

[merry pebble]

Already tamed

[tacit crystal]

Only tamed ones can lay eggs.

[charred otter]

What food for taming and what's the strat for it? if I remember, when I tamed some boars I just dug a hole, lured them in, got out, gave food and waited

Also is the lox cape any better than wolf? all capes seem to always have 4 armor and both capes have the frost resistance

[merry pebble]

Only the looks are different basically, one is not better than the other 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Lox? They eat ||cloudberries, barley and flax||.

[tacit crystal]

They have same stats, but upgrading lox cape to higher quality doesn't require any silver.

I like the looks of lox cape better than wolf cape.

[charred otter]

I already have maxed the silver one so no diff (and I prefer white color-wise)

Thanks all

Also is it worth crafting the black metal shield first thing? cuz rn I can't do much else and can help protect me
And do I craft both versions or just the nnon-tall one

[merry pebble]

The round shield 🙂 you really dont need both

[tacit crystal]

The round one is better as you can parry with it, you cannot parry with tower shields (the tall ones).

[charred otter]

Ah alr, thought it might be good for dungeons or close combat in enclosed spaces

[mystic raptor]

Is the trick to killing the green-glowing skeletons to not use melee? They seem to beat me in every exchange

[tacit crystal]

Fire arrows.

[nocturne wolf]

Melee is just as viable for them as it is normal skeletons

[sleek stream]

what is the best type of shield (buckler, normal, or tower)

[mystic raptor]

I have no issue going melee against regular skellies, even if i don't block

The green ones might be applying poison?

[prisma ingot]

Depends on what you want to do with it, buckler is better at parrying attacks with less flat rate damage reduction, normal has better flat dmg reduction but not as good for parrys, tower has best dmg reduction

[nocturne wolf]

It depends where in progression you are. Bucklers aren't available for mountains and plains so the normal shields work best there, but in ashlands the carapace buckler will be stronger than the flametal shield because the power gap between round shields and bucklers gets bigger with each biome.

[tacit crystal]

Depends, if you're good at parrying you might like bucklers the best, but for both regular blocking and parrying round shields are good too. Tower shields are bit underwhelming.

[nocturne wolf]

Even if I'm not using normal blocking very often I will make a banded shield instead of iron buckler because it looks so much better

[sleek stream]

I like parrying i practically perfect block everything that i can (saved me in the swamp) but im in mountains right now and i see that there is no buckler

[nocturne wolf]

The silver shield can block and parry better than the iron buckler can

[sleek stream]

what does the parry rate mean like on buckler it says 2.5x and shield its 1.5x

[nocturne wolf]

That multiplies block armor when parrying, it's why parrying reduces damage more

[sleek stream]

ohhh ok i thought it ment they were stunned longer lmao

[tacit crystal]

There is pinned message where you can find more detailed info about blocking in spreadsheet.

One Deep north update later 🤣

[true cosmos]

I gotta figure out how to tame stuff

I think I’m gonna build a whole new base on my own world, I just have to do some extensive exploring first to find a good spot

[tacit crystal]

I have tamed 2 star during 3 playthroughs. First took the longest: around 15ish nights, second took after the 2nd night started (almost right away) and third was kinda lucky one: didn't actively try to find one but happened to notice it near a captured fortress, then quickly digging a pit and lure it there and just in time got the taming start.

[rain flare]

Let us hope! 👍

[timber portal]

Hey

I'm new to the server

[robust iris]

i dont understand why my friends dont like this game its amazing ;(

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it's not for everyone. You can't make people love it.

[robust iris]

💥

[shy furnace]

Valheim is a 'slow-burn' type of game, most younger gamers don't have the patience for that

[gray sand]

Remove them and acquire new friends.
Problem solved. 😏

[robust iris]

its not that eassyyyy

[hearty niche]

It took me 2 tries. I played it single player first and said "I like the vibe but there's something I'm missing here..." and then 6 months later after H&H came out I played it with friends and turns out friends is what it was missing.

[willow summit]

Its definitely more fun with friends on a lot of levels, but i also enjoy the challenge of playing solo

I definitely enjoy building more with a group. Someone to appreciate my builds. When i play solo i largely build functionally, not aesthetically

[undone steeple]

Yea kinda miss my first play through with my friend, but at the same time still thoroughly enjoying playing solo

[willow summit]

I wish i could get MIB memory wiped and experience the game for the first time again

[nocturne wolf]

The first time I played Valheim I didn't enjoy it much either, until I came back in a group of four

[robust iris]

howww i was obsesed with it as soon as i played and have done like 3 or 4 play throughs with a friend of mine

[hasty citrus]

When is deep north being added I have the valheim itch for the 5th time but I wanna wait

[near furnace]

not anytime soon.
we want it to be 10/10 experience

[robust iris]

goood goooddddd

[hasty citrus]

Welp, I guess that means I have enough time to get an extra run in between it

Idk if you are allowed to answer this but is the new update deep north focused or does it have updates to the general game as well pre north

[tacit crystal]

You could try something new, like weapon types you usually don't use or make a challenge for yourself.

[nocturne wolf]

The developers have said it will bring some content to existing biomes in a previous development blog

[hasty citrus]

One last question

[near furnace]

deep north is end of game.
we shall see what we add or not add 🤔

[hasty citrus]

Are there plan to implement magic earlier in the game? I found it to be a little weird to suddenly have it only in the later biomes without progression and stat grinds

[near furnace]

no

[hasty citrus]

Bruh

[gray sand]

You can level it incredibly fast when you get it given how much HP most enemies in Mistlands have.

[hasty citrus]

I just found it to be jarring to have the game suddenly introduce a class. It also invalidates a lot of previous stat grinding

I also just think it wud be cool to have it as an alternate class from the start

[gray sand]

Given the game is balanced around having 0 in all skills and they are literally "free stats" - nothing is really invalidated.

[hasty citrus]

Idk

Its just not what I prefer

[tacit crystal]

There is no "classes" in game really, just very useful tools for different situations. Plus, magic staves are strong even when low levels.

[near furnace]

personally I would prefer no magic at all in valheim 😄

[hasty citrus]

I honestly agree

[gray sand]

Person who just argued it should be earlier now says it shouldn't be there....

Pick an opinion 😉

[hasty citrus]

It felt a little out of place. Its still fun, but I feel like instead of expanding upon what was already there it felt like a replacement of the swords and armor

[nocturne wolf]

There is one kind of magic I would prefer to have in Valheim...

[near furnace]

@gray sand either have it early, or not at all

is what I would assume he ment

[hasty citrus]

mhm

its a fun change of pace when unlocked

esp with a group of friends, it’s a lot of fun to coordinate blood bubbles and dps types

i agree it feels like it’s a little sudden but it is also such a wild discovery when you hit it the first time

[near furnace]

tho you also find 2h weapons later in game 🤔

[gray sand]

That somehow have MTP when they shouldn't 😭

[prime moth]

the 2h sword is so fun

[nocturne wolf]

Two handed weapons aren't as much of a unique playstyle though

[gray sand]

It will be when they fix it 😭

[near furnace]

I always read that acronym as "Magic The Procject" 😄

[wise latch]

Are we going to get the final biome before or after gta6 you figure?

[near furnace]

GTA6 already pushed 😄

so you might ask yourself. minecraft 2 or GTA6 first?

[nocturne wolf]

Neck summon or GTA 6 first

[near furnace]

or warcraft 4 / starcraft 3 🤔

[prime moth]

will i beat a hardcore run or deep north first 🤔

[wise latch]

I have a buddy who refuses to play the game again until it's 1.0

[near furnace]

seems like a plan

[prime moth]

5 hardcore runs in so far, lots of fun

[near furnace]

I got tons of those games in my steam library

fun game, now wait for full release

[prime moth]

1.0 gonna be sick, love all playthroughs of this game

I'm one of those, I REALLY want to play Valheim, I've finished the other survival games in my backlog, but I'm patiently waiting for 1.0 and achievements to be released before i dive back in, last time i played the swamp was the latest biome.

[wise latch]

Maybe it will come out as a crossover with the next elderscrolls game

[gray sand]

If you say "crossover" too many time you summon Fortnite devs.

[wise latch]

Fartshite

[tepid prawn]

That must have been in the beta then I don't know much about that, the swamp was never the latest biome since Early Access in February 2021.

[wintry prism]

I feel like haldor ruins no map a bit, I'm scared to just go explore incase I accidentally spawn him somewhere annoying

[prime moth]

is there only one spawn per world?

[quasi latch]

For Haldor or for Vikings?

[prime moth]

haldor. i guess you just portal anyway

[quasi latch]

Haldor has 10 randomized potential spawn locations. If you get within a few hundred meters of one, he spawns and the other 9 are disabled.

[wintry prism]

ah oops I am no portal too

[prime moth]

oh sure, yeah that makes it a bit annoying. the gold items dont weigh a ton at least

[wintry prism]

I feel like gold is quite heavy?

How do you get the greydwarf role?

[silent oriole]

ok so deep north yes.
when deep south update though?
palm tree greydwarfs

[quasi latch]

Ashlands be like:

[silent oriole]

more like asslands

[vocal rivet]

It's a legacy role. It's not used anymore

[timber portal]

Ok good to know

[tiny tiger]

How was it acquired tho

I have it for some reason, is it just if you joined the server early?

[merry pebble]

It was required to join VCs iirc, after few minutes of writing in chat you would get it and you would be able to go to VCs, so basically to make it harder for trolls to get new accounts and immediately go harass people into the voice rooms 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Quoting one YouTube comment:

Jumping off the ship
Deep North: ||❄️🦭🌊||
Ashlands: ||🔥💀💥🧨💣☠️👹🧨💥 🦅🔥💀💣🐍💥👹💀☠️🔥||

[near furnace]

yeah. like 11-13 lines written, the bot automaticly gave that role to people

to many people at the time joined VC and just trolled with stupid stuff for it to be open to everyone

there still is a problem, but alot more people report these trolls now

[green bluff]

I really would love it if Valheim could have more peaceful biomes in the future. Meadows is so beautiful and a nice place to chill. I know that people claim you can also use other biomes currently, but that's only possible with slightly ridiculous natural walls and artificial islands. I found that the pace of home and safe, out adventuring and in danger was the dynamic in the early game, while later on it's all 'everywhere unsafe and it only gets worse'. This is just monotonous in the long run for people like me who like both.
Currently, even meadows is sabotaged after the second boss.

[tacit crystal]

Very unlikely devs will add new biomes than what exist currently. One could say Deep North is currently peaceful, but that will chance after the content patch will be added.

[near furnace]

deep north will be the last biome we add

[haughty leaf]

I just started playing a few months ago and I have not seen an updates. When they put one out like the deep north. Will they also change things in the other bio's or are they left alone?

[nocturne wolf]

Areas you have already explored won't be updated, but new content in existing biomes can generate in unexplored parts of the world

[merry pebble]

You can always spawnproof a large area 🙂 that Is the strategy i usually use even tho i have walls, i don't want to have to repaire them too often

[rain flare]

No biome in Valheim is peaceful

Valheim is the most “lawless” of the realms

Best you are gonna get is the meadows before you kill the elder

Sorry, eikthyr (brain went to sleep there) 😅

After that, all the mobs you had elsewhere start spawning into the “peaceful” biomes

[nocturne wolf]

Only at night though, you can sleep to avoid them

[tacit crystal]

Nights become restless after progressing more bosses but you can always sleep through night.

[rain flare]

The most peace I’ve found is building on top of a mountain or somewhere deep in the ocean so nobody can mess with me

Not to mention all the raids 😅

[tacit crystal]

#general message

[verbal geyser]

what are the odd to find queen loc stone in dungeon?

ive cleared around 5-6 dungeon and i couldnt find it am i missing some rooms? or is it like that rare? as yagluth?

[green bluff]

Sure thing, but maybe some of the existing biomes could have variations in their hostility?

I'm not talking the endgame ones, but just up to Plains

[vocal rivet]

Why?

[green bluff]

For less monotony

[verbal geyser]

like changing or adding things?

[vocal rivet]

Removing part of the gameplay will only make the game less interesting.

[verbal geyser]

lowkey

[near furnace]

not very likly we will change how it works

there is passive mode if you rather have the the enemies not being aggresive unless provoked

[verbal geyser]

hell nah dude i rather play mc

passive valheim is NOT valheim

the main thing about game is the mobs actually

[vocal rivet]

Seems to be what you're after to be fair.

[verbal geyser]

frick no dude

i love to slash bugs goblins walking wood pieces

[vocal rivet]

I've got you mixed up, I do apologise.

[verbal geyser]

ur good brotha ❤️

[robust token]

Gotta love it when everything wants you dead

Other than Deer, Hare and Dvergr

[rain flare]

And that last one is tentative
They still haven’t decided whether to off you or not 😅

Touch their stuff and you’ll die very quickly 😂

[green bluff]

I don't want passive Valheim. Just saying every zone feels the same after meadows

But it's your choice. Good game in any case

[vocal rivet]

Every biome is distinctly different with its own challenges.

[heady parcel]

The one thing I would like to change about all of this is the resilience of some build pieces. It would be nice if there was some kind of reinforced stone blocks to build defensive walls, and maybe a drawbridge build piece. Stuff like that. It is a bit sad that the most practical and efficient way to build defences is to abuse the hoe to make ugly earth walls. Since mobs will smash down stone walls nearly as fast as they will annihilate a stakewall, the incentive to put effort and resources into "proper" defences just isn't there. I do it anyway because I like my base to look pretty - e.g. I hide my earth walls with stone walls in front and behind. Also keeps the mobs busy impotently smashing the outer walls to pieces until the raid is over.

[jolly kernel]

does anyone know how to remove the big indestructible rocks in the Ashlands? I started preparing a terrain that I found perfect for the base I have in mind but I didn't know that rock was indestructible. I hit it with the ram, it did some damage and destroyed something, but the rock didn't go away. Now it has like a jittering texture effect

[wary bane]

The truth is though that the most practical, efficient and effective way to build defences historically during the viking age was to build big ugly earth walls.

[nocturne wolf]

The best thing you can do to protect your base is walk outside during a raid. Enemies will only break what they have to to reach their target.

[heady parcel]

Aye, nothing wrong with that - but as we (in-game) progress technologically and start building stone walls, I feel they should logically provide a little more of an obstacle to mobs than one or two more ME SMASH before they're through. But more than anything this is down to the earth walls being entirely indestructible. Now I wouldn't try to push the devs to change that - gods I could hear the screams if that happened - but it would be nice for some later game buildable defences would be strong enough to be a valid alternative.

[heady parcel]

This is what I do with most raids. Except "They were Bros, man"... I'm not suicidal 😄

[wary bane]

Its either destructible or not, if it is then keep using the ram, if it isn't then you arent getting rid of it without using mods or forcedelete devcommands. On a side note, i'm not sure which rocks you are referring to, most everything geological in Ashlands usually ends up as a big pile of Grausten

[verbal geyser]

can someones please answer this question ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ☺️

[jolly kernel]

Just uploaded a clip on #valheim-help , I'm really confused about it because I remember getting rid of a similar stone before

I'm playing with mods but nothing that affects terrain, mods like InfinityHammer and Gizmo since I'm building and such

[wary bane]

infinity hammer should be able to get rid of it. That said, it looks bugged and you are using mods so i'm gonna say 92.8% chance its the mods.

[jolly kernel]

I was about to start it vanilla to see if it's that

[heady parcel]

Mods will nearly always mess with more than what they are meant to mess with, it's just the nature of things.

[wary bane]

I can only speak for my own experiences, wherein I found markers in literally the first two mines i explored so ... 🤷

[jolly kernel]

But that's kinda a weird thing to happen, it's like there is the destructible rock under the model of the indestructible rock

[verbal geyser]

where did u found it?

secret rooms?

[wary bane]

in the lowest chamber usually

[verbal geyser]

so not necessairly in secret rooms

[nocturne wolf]

They've been very rare in my experience

[jolly kernel]

gotta take a look at the infinityhammer page to see what could I do, but damn, it doesn't ruin the terrain but it sure is an inconvenience for it to be there

[tacit crystal]

They can be found inside the secret doors or at water pools where usually few seekers are.

[wary bane]

with infinity hammer, just middle click it with the hammer equipped

the hammer is a literal god weapon with that mod, you can delete anything

[jolly kernel]

doesn't work, maybe I need to change something on the config file?

[wary bane]

perhaps, make sure everything is up to date too, I had outdated mods cause rock to become invincible in the past too so sounds familiar

[jolly kernel]

It should be, Thunderstore automatically updated some mods earlier today

IT WORKED

The remove anything option was set in false in the config file

[green bluff]

I guess this would fix things as well. Definitely

Walls are useless. We shouldn't have to use hoe and ridiculous natural defenses for everything

[jolly kernel]

It indeed was an indestructible version of the rock on top of the actual destructible rock, for some reason

[wary bane]

be SUPER careful with you hammer from here onwards.. Trust me

[jolly kernel]

Yeah don't worry I'm gonna set it on false again, already had some missclicks when building that resulted on a piece that was far away to be destoyed

Thanks!

[wary bane]

I think the first line of defence should always be natural or unnatural landscaping of some sort, that is historically accurate. Be that a moat, motte, mountain or island etc.. and then all the build pieces should serve to add further defensive capabilities, high walls, sharpened stakes, balistae etc.. so, not unlike what we currently have I suppose. It just takes a lot of time and resources to build it all rather than just "select fortress in build options and click". Although i'm 100% in agreement for having animated drawbridge/portcullis options!

[heady parcel]

Yeah moat + wall with stakes on top is always my first defence once i get the antler pickaxe. Later on I enclose the earthwall in stone walls, not because I have to but because it looks better. Only thing I'm after is really stone walls being able to withstand a little more punishment before they crumble. Or maybe just make stone walls not be weak to pickaxe damage, and maybe resistant to chop/slash/pierce.

[wary bane]

Agree they could use a few more HP. I think the defensive capabilities scaling with enemies in the game isn't too bad. There are a few anomalies like getting air defences three biomes after you encounter flying raids but thankfully it isnt too bad.

[tacit crystal]

Warning message before the beginning of a raid would be good - usually those catch you with pants down and you then try quickly get your gear and foods in order to fight the raid.

[wary bane]

Fight the raid? Hell no, i run around agroing everything like Benny Hill until the raid is over and then either kill them, let them run away or kite them to local wildlife

[heady parcel]

One major thing is the most destructive (to buildings) raid, the blue-skinned hooligans, have a pretty brutal damage total for stone, making them need only a few swings to pulverise a wall.

[tacit crystal]

I think it would be better if the raid ended after defeating certain amount of enemies instead of a set timer.

[heady parcel]

But that is most certainly intended and unlikely to ever change..

[heady parcel]

Would certainly make them more relevant and require a certain effort on part of the defender

[verbal geyser]

eitr is basicly mana right?

[heady parcel]

Last time I had "They Were Bros" the boss chased after greydorfs and disappeared into the Black Forest. I never saw it again...

[tacit crystal]

Yes, basically. A resource similar to stamina (it regens and you get more of it from certain foods) but you use it to handle staves.

[verbal geyser]

guys is 72 hours in a 2 week is lot? (2 week hasnt finished yet💀)

[green bluff]

Hey Devs, actually a solution for the problem I'm having with the game: Could you add a server option for very strong walls and fewer base attacks?
No, passive mobs is not a solution. That's just making the game stale. It's the tuning I'm asking about. Having to waste time cleaning random trash mobs attacking the base while you'd rather be out exploring new areas. You're in the base for recover and sleep, but end up wasting time on this boring cleaning that I'm talking about. That's why I stopped playing in early 2021. Felt like working in s factory doing the same thing over and over at the assembly line.

[chrome locust]

for someone rocking the asksvin armour with the speed boosts and whatnot is it better to use 2 stamina foods 1 health food instead of the usual 2 health 1 stamina

[dreamy shadow]

or you can tame wolves, breed them and make them stay outside the walls. they'll do the cleaning by themselves

[heady parcel]

"Better" is subjective. I go with HHS since with the Asksvin suit and good stamina food I have all the mobility and stamina I need really - but the low armour means a health buffer is nice if I mess up and get hit.

[chrome locust]

yeah was thinkin SSH is quite vulnerable with the lower defense, but was also considering a nonstop moving playstyle

[heady parcel]

Yeah, if you're agile enough on the controls to never get hit - rock on! Me, I know I will eventually get hit so I need that health buffer. Plus running skill around 95 means I can run pretty much non-stop anyway.

[chrome locust]

95 is insane holy, i am playing with my friend on mage so i do have the bubbles to allow me to absorb an extra hit so maybe thats a strat

[heady parcel]

Was at 100 a long time before I started trying to mine flametal haha

[chrome locust]

yep i can relate with that one haha

thanks for the advice man

There are already many ways to defend your base from raids including walls, moats, traps and spawn prevention.

The way I have built fireplaces in my earlier bases would make it highly unpleasant to activate that setting, but I'll definitely do it next time around!

But then they would be only useful for spawnproofing 😄

Yeah

[wary bane]

I've lost so many bases already this way haha, but I still love it. Way more fun

[heady parcel]

I typically build 2x2 chimneys around a basic fireplace, with just one wall section open for access. I wouldn't expect that to work with fire hazards on...

[wary bane]

Indeed. need a 4x4 square minimum and a lot of clearance

only with wood though, stone still works just fine

you'll never want for coal again

Is there any way to fight fires ones a house starts burning? Tearing down adjoining walls?

[wary bane]

[heady parcel]

Here's how it looks: #screenshots message I destroyed all of these and re-planted new seeds a little to the side, same thing happened. Seems the inside of stakewalls is simply not very good for vines? I have a few others planted on the outside and they seem to be growning fine, so I'll replant these again and see.

[fast basalt]

[heady parcel]

1. Don't shout
2. Check the #1024264966712340510 channel

[wary bane]

i just tested planting vines against stake walls both front and back and they all meshed nicely for me. I think you probably just traded your prize cow for some janky beans on this occasion

[heady parcel]

Yeah on another site I have planted them along the inside without any issues. It might actually be the specific orientation of the walls that won't take with the vines, I'll check the compass bearing on these and compare to the other place. Could be that simple.

In doing some research, the Megingjord costs 5,700$

what plains tier weapon is the best

is knife good

[rose parcel]

Silver sword works best on the plains boss because of the spirit damage

Have you used knives before?

There is no absolute best, but atgeir is strong contestant. And Porcupine is also quite good and underrated weapon.

[hearty hatch]

guys

tips for defeating the Elder

[heady parcel]

Hide behind pillars, move away from root tentacles, shoot fire arrows. Alternatively, use a tower shield to block his attacks and go to town with an axe

[tepid prawn]

he is quite easy tbh, fire arrows but also wood or flint work well for range, or flint spear can be used, also the faster slash weapons like bronze sword is good if you want to melee, the pillars are indestructible so you can hide behind, avoid his attacks etc tentacles (axe works too like Derleth said but sword is faster attack for slash damage)

[nocturne wolf]

Any bronze weapon will be good enough for melee

[tacit crystal]

He can be defeated with any weapon/method. Fire arrows deal more damage due to his weakness against fire.

[quasi latch]

Atgeir + dodge rolls was how I did it. Bring some meads just in case you take a hit or run your stamina too low

[nocturne wolf]

Slash damage doesn't matter, all physical damages are neutral

[hearty hatch]

so hide behind pillars and shoot fire arrows

thanks yall!

[tepid prawn]

yeah but sword is faster a bit so yeah

[tepid prawn]

yeah that was my first ever kill I did it like that

[quasi latch]

Atgeir secondary attack is great for clearing the summoned roots

[tepid prawn]

now i have probably killed him more than 100 times

[hearty hatch]

i saw a youtube kill him with campfires
will that help?

[heady parcel]

Aye the pillars block the stuff he shoots, and the roots can't move so if you move away from them they are harmless. Also don't start the fight late in the day so you get a non-stop night parade of greydwarfs joining in.

[tepid prawn]

that is a working cheese strategy yes

[quasi latch]

Speedrunner strat. If you're asking for help, you probably don't have the game sense for that strategy, no offense.

[hearty hatch]

lmao true

[rose parcel]

you attack it

[hearty hatch]

i'll try my best though

[heady parcel]

I kinda like the elder fight. It's a proper boss fight without being overly difficult even if you are only moderately prepared for it

[tepid prawn]

speedrunning is a different kind of beast, I've done Elder in less than an hour myself after starting world

[hearty hatch]

maybe i'll place campfires while he's spawning

and then shoot fire arrows after he spawns

[tepid prawn]

you can also whack him while he's spawning

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a knife, try to land a secondary attack right as he spawns for a high-damage backstab hit

[hexed apex]

wise words

[hearty hatch]

oh knives have 6x backstab ye?

[heady parcel]

Probably more effective to whack him. He has to walk over the fires for them to do any good, and I think he'll stomp them out fairly quickly too

[hasty citrus]

Hello. are there any plans to add music? I LOVE the soundtrack its just getting old after hundreds of hours

[fleet pond]

could just turn down the music and find new music on youtube that fits the theme

[hasty citrus]

Nothing compares the valheim feel tho

[quasi latch]

Or you could destroy a greydwarf nest and build a house on top of that so that you get the nest music in your house

[hasty citrus]

Also, is it just me who only plays on 2x? I feel like the normal grind is waaaay to hard. Especially since getting berries is so tedious and cant be farmed

You're not the only one (I play on 1x though) Generally not for berries, but for things like iron, copper, and wood.

[fleet pond]

1.5x

[quasi latch]

Berries are easy to get a lot of if you mark clusters of bushes on the map and do harvest runs every once in a while

[hasty citrus]

Well berries isnt what I do it for its honestly just for iron. Most ores are fine to get but iron is AWFUL. I was just adding onto it

[hasty citrus]

is that a thing?

I honestly think getting wood and stone is hell. I just wanna make a new base and I have to grind for stone for hours

I honestly wish there was a 2x for ores and wood/stone

I also think boats take SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long to go anywhere. Its literally like 10 actual minutes of silence.

[quasi latch]

On the bright side, yo only need to sail once to set up a portal, maybe like 2-3 times along the same route if you're boating ore/ingots

[hasty citrus]

For iron you have to sail A LOT

and one trip is a lot

[azure yacht]

no, i'm sure DN will have 0 music and no additional songs when released.

like ashlands and mistlands

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't go for more than 1.5 and even then only in a large group, certainly not solo.

[hasty citrus]

Im in a group of 2

[azure yacht]

those two biomes didn't add any music at all

[hasty citrus]

😭

[vocal rivet]

Then normal settings are fine.

[quasi latch]

That makes a lot more sense. I thought this was a singleplayer world

[hasty citrus]

Yeah but thats biome exclusive. and there isnt much of a reason not to be in the plains

[vocal rivet]

Most music is biome specific.

[hasty citrus]

The plains music gets old

I just want an extra track or 2 per area

[vocal rivet]

I don't think we're getting extra music for biomes unless there's a specific reason (like if we had another NPC).

[quasi latch]

Maybe try a swamp or forest base, then. Possibly with nearby plains for farming.

[vocal rivet]

Or turn off continuous music and play your own.

[hasty citrus]

Bro id get rampaged every second there

[quasi latch]

Not if you spawnproof with torches

[hasty citrus]

I dont know I just think 1 track for so long is boring especially when the normal area is the only area that is really worth settling at

Valheim is literally one of my favorite games of all time I just think there are some minor issues

[quasi latch]

Valheim could do with more tracks, but it's also not too hard to set up a playlist of one's own

[hasty citrus]

A game shouldnt rely on their players to use youtube music to get by

I dont really understand that point. I love valheim I mainly just want ore specific X amounts because I just want 2x iron and 1.5x wood stone and the other ores. I also just have a lot of little complaints

It really is a great game but I do think there are some things people dont talk about enough

[vocal rivet]

it doesn't.

[hasty citrus]

Its a very minor complaint this is just a complaint for players like me who have many hours I guess

[vocal rivet]

I mean, lots of us have hundreds, if not thousands of hours and this is the first time I'm hearing a complaint.

[fleet pond]

lol i have over 1.5k hours in this game pc and xbox. i dont even listen to the music anymore. its easy to just set up something from youtube or i just watch something at the same time

[hasty citrus]

Im sure we all love this game but its not free of criticism. These devs are amazing, I just feel like there are some small issues that could really go a long way. The game just has a lot of buffer moments. I like grinding but getting materials for a nice house as well as iron is insanely tedious. I have cleared multiple swamp biomes and still needed more iron. I also dont think its crazy to say the same song gets boring after 100s of hours

[vocal rivet]

No-one said it was free of criticism.

[quasi latch]

Valid points all around.

[fleet pond]

then literally turn off the music in setting and go turn on something else

many games out there have one simple theme song or continuous music

[hasty citrus]

Im not saying this is life or death I just feel like it would be a pretty nic eaddition

A lot of games also have multiple tracks that play in rotation for different areas that you will be at for a while

[quasi latch]

Same could be said for games with multiple tracks per area. Especially open-world ones. With the player numbers Valheim has gotten, it's not prohibitively expensive or difficult to add something like this.

[hasty citrus]

Valheim has one of my favorite soundtracks ever it rarely gets old but I just think that the plains and ocean music are getting kinda repetitive in my head by now thats all

[vocal rivet]

I agree it wouldn't be too expensive or difficult to add music. Doesn't mean it should or will happen.

[hasty citrus]

I feel like with its success and the replayability it would be a very fitting and useful addition

[vocal rivet]

Having an in-game option to turn off continuous music resolves that issue for me.

[willow summit]

I wouldn’t hate more music considering how good the stuff we have is

[hasty citrus]

Yeah

[verbal geyser]

guys should i use carapace buckler or shield for queen?

[willow summit]

But don’t expect it

[hasty citrus]

Valheim is a very grindy game, the music is what keeps me a bit more entertained when im sitting there hacking away at a copper deposit

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying bosses is a waste of stamina since they can’t be staggered. Rolling through the attacks is generally the best option.

The power gap between bucklers and shields gets larger with each biome and by this point the buckler will be able to parry significantly better than the shield.

[vocal rivet]

Well, no. It's only really grindy in Swamps with iron and even then you can get round that by only actually mining what you need.

[quasi latch]

Depends on how well you can parry. Carapace buckler is still one of the best shields in the game going into ashlands.

[willow summit]

Not going to lie, i do occasionally enjoy changing things up, so i do run my own playlists sometimes

[fleet pond]

i like bucklers to parry. i never used an actual tower shield

[verbal geyser]

aight thanks

[willow summit]

Id say Black Forest copper comes in 2nd on the grind list behind iron

[verbal geyser]

me neiter thats why i asked if im doing wrong or not

[gray sand]

Neither.

[vocal rivet]

Eh, only if you're trying to max level everything, which really isn't necessary.

[fleet pond]

nothing you can do wrong in this game. \

[hasty citrus]

The entire game is grindy, its part of the fun, its just excessive sometimes, there is no way you have zero complaints

[willow summit]

Its why i opt for troll armor in most playthroughs

[quasi latch]

Game could definitely do with an iron and maybe a copper buff

[vocal rivet]

Again, I never said I have zero complaints. I even said Swamps can be grindy.

[gray sand]

The entire game is fun except when I arbitrarily decide it is not? 🤔

[willow summit]

I actually wish the game was more of a grind in some biomes. Mountains and plains go by too quickly

[hasty citrus]

Huh? I just think the grind is unbalanced. The swamp is painfully long and the mountains are too fast. Im not sure why you said it was arbitrarily. I love valheim but you are guys are treating my complaints as personal attacks

[quasi latch]

Welcome to the Valheim discord server.

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, getting the main Plains resources are a little easy having the Fuling villages above ground and once you've grabbed a handful of barley and flax it just multiplies itself and the Blackmetal comes to your door for free.

[willow summit]

And the BM isn’t even needed for the armor (and lends more credence to the iron grind)

[hasty citrus]

You are one of the only normal people here. I think some people on discord just wear a blindfold and fight for whatever game they like. Criticisms doesnt make something bad

[vocal rivet]

Who is doing what now? If I thought you were making personal attacks I'd have blocked and reported you ages ago. I don't think this at all.

[hasty citrus]

I didnt mean that as an insult

[vocal rivet]

None of these things are happening. Are you OK?

[hasty citrus]

I think tone is weird over discord, we all love valheim, I think I just got heated and i made assumptions im sorry

[vocal rivet]

It's all good.

[quasi latch]

Tone misinterpretations seem to be a recurring problem here.

[hasty citrus]

Its the problem with texting. Good job buddy could be very different things based on tone

[gray sand]

You're seeing "personal attack attitude" where there is none so that's on your end.
You said the grind is part of the fun and then immediately flipped to saying it is excessive.

So either you are against excessive fun or you don't actually find it to be fun 🤔
What makes the Swamp "painfully long" to you?

[willow summit]

It’s moreso that no one likes being disagreed with or criticized so it’s easy to imbue an overly negative tone in the words

Such is life

We’re also discussing inherently subjective concepts

[vocal rivet]

When does this happen? A lot of projecting from people going on.

[hasty citrus]

Its not black and white. I can enjoy the grind and also think that there is too much of it. You can like ice cream but not want it every day. Balance is what makes stuff fun. I just think that the swamp has too little iron. ive had to sail to multiple swamps and scout the entire area for hours just to get a full set of stuff

[vocal rivet]

I don't mind disagreements OR criticism.

[gray sand]

-# You will note I haven't even agreed/disagreed with anything. I just pointed to an inconsistency in what was being said.

[willow summit]

Guys, relax, im saying these things about people in general, not any of you specifically or even this discord specifically.

[gray sand]

So your personal experience with RNG being bad means they need to overhaul the Swamp?
(Genuine question from someone who found 300 in his first and 1400 in his second.)

[quasi latch]

Sounds like the RNG needs to get overhauled then.

[gray sand]

That is a valid point.

[willow summit]

#NerfRNG

[vocal rivet]

Again, no-one is taking anything personally. Where IS this coming from?

[gray sand]

New dart blaster coming 2026.

[willow summit]

Enough

[vocal rivet]

If RNG needs fixing anywhere it's in the Ashlands fortresses.

[quasi latch]

brought to you by crossbow gang

[gray sand]

I take the hyphenated no one personally 😉

[vocal rivet]

But then we said that in PTB.

[hasty citrus]

Ive played several runs every once and a while since the game was in beta. Iron has been consistently tedious and sailing can be a little lonely. Also I think there shud be more music but its not a complaint just an idea

the sailing part has absolutely no part of your question by the way I just said that cuz idk

[vocal rivet]

I love sailing, it's so chill.

[hasty citrus]

Most of my complaints all boil down to resources being spread thing and needing to sail very far for stuff like boss altars and enough ore to progress

[gray sand]

If you consistently have bad RNG in the Swamp then I would say the talking point is RNG/World Gen tweaks, not tweaking the Swamp itself.

Sailing- being able to be alone with your thoughts and not become lonely is actually an IRL measurement of health, so that's not something I'm going to touch.

Music- Spotify 🤷‍♂️ I think current music could be played on repeat forever and it would be fine because they did a great job with it. But if the dev in charge of sound design has more things cooking I would expect they drop with the 1.0 update (and I'd genuinely be surprised if nothing new came in that department).

[hasty citrus]

I like being immersed in the music has to offer for most games. Also I dont think its crazy to want to do stuff when playing video games. Sailing feels like an extended loading screen most times since its just open sea and a straight line. I feel like that was easily a charged statement. But yeah world gen is probably my bigger issue

[quasi latch]

Often times, when I'm playing Valheim, even singleplayer, I'm in a Discord VC with some friends. Easy way to pass time when I happen to be sailing.

[gray sand]

You sail in straight lines? 👀

[vocal rivet]

That would certainly explain why it takes you so long.

[hasty citrus]

I always play valheim with a friend. Also I dont mean literal straight lines. I just find that boats are too fillery

[vocal rivet]

I wouldn't object to more Ocean content but if not I won't cry about it.

[rustic vapor]

Am i expected to make a new house in every few biomes? Or can we just use 1 base? never got that far but id like to plan ahead

[vocal rivet]

Not at all. I've only ever had one base and then a couple of outposts.

[quasi latch]

It's more building vs. more sailing ore back to one's main base

Completely a play style choice, but both have their downsides

[hasty citrus]

I usually build outposts everywhere and have one main big base

[quasi latch]

Same. Although I could just as easily move the base instead...

[tacit crystal]

Outposts first, then main base in some good place is my style.

[vocal rivet]

Definitely a personal decision. And I guess if you're a big builder then you're more likely to make more bases.

[rustic vapor]

One big base for me

[hasty citrus]

I love building in valheim

[gray sand]

Given the wording I would say you need to check with the rest of "we" to see what they expect of you.
And if they want you to build a house every single biome I would leave 😁

[earnest dust]

I see derek is at it again

[gray sand]

🎶 And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate...

[vocal rivet]

Hm?

[gray sand]

Nothing to worry about.

[vocal rivet]

OK, I guess that's why you're a Swiftie.

That IS Taylor Swift, right?

[gray sand]

No. It's because she is the singular greatest artist of all time.

[vocal rivet]

I don't remember her being in Queen.

[gray sand]

Taylor Swift is the pre-nerf Feather Cape of musicians.

[vocal rivet]

There was no nerf! It was briefly changed to make up for another issue then switched back.

[vapid hearth]

I don't understand why this part of the plains keeps getting foggy
It really gets in the way of the flour I desperately need

[quasi latch]

2 possibilities I can think of off the top of my head:

1. Near Mistlands
2. Incredibly bad RNG

[dapper totem]

hi guys, i got boars in a pen right now, last i checked they were about 10% tamed, but i looked now and there are yellow hearts coming off them. what does that mean

[fleet pond]

theyre in the tamiung process

you have to wait about 30 mins

[dapper totem]

how do i know when theyre done taming?

[earnest dust]

weather ☁️

[vapid hearth]

I'm only near the Mountain
I wish I was near the Mistlands so I can get my hands on some sweet cooking ingredients before hunting down Yagluth

[verbal geyser]

can i use f word?

[vocal rivet]

If you really felt the need to.

[verbal geyser]

i hate this fu*kin queen. ive been fighting for an hour and her hp is just like 40%

[gray sand]

Feel like it would have gone faster if you used Tasty given how bad Stamina mead is...

[verbal geyser]

anyways ive killed her so no problem

[rustic vapor]

So uh, how do i built a boat

[vocal rivet]

For the raft you need wood, leather scraps and resin.

[empty dagger]

[rustic vapor]

Where do i unlock the ability to build it?

like its not appearing in my crafting menu

[light moat]

Check the misc tab in the hammer menu, is it available there? If not, you may not have picked up all the necessary components.

[rustic vapor]

Gotcha. Thank you!

[peak lark]

can someone ping me with a list of the best mods please

[gray sand]

None.

[rustic vapor]

download a modpack

[peak lark]

any recomendations

[gray sand]

Yes, go to #mods-discussion 👍

[peak lark]

i have nothing left to do in unmodded

[gray sand]

I find that incredibly hard to believe.

[peak lark]

how many hours you got

[gray sand]

Nearly a thousand.

[peak lark]

i have a bit over how are you starting to not see not much to do left

ive build most stuff i can imagine made crazy bridges treehouses

made tons of farms and even made skiing with boats

[gray sand]

Did you get your resources for these things or did you spawn stuff in/activate free-build?

[quasi latch]

Some people in this channel are really against mods for some reason. Regardless, #mods-discussion is still a better place to ask.

[peak lark]

i physically got everything i have

ye valheim is good alone my second fav indie game fr

[gray sand]

We are just different people then 🤷‍♂️
But as I said, #mods-discussion will be the place with people who have good recommendations for you.

[peak lark]

what have you not done in 800 hours?

[gray sand]

I have not gotten bored or felt the need to alter the game beyond its intended design. 🤷‍♂️

[peak lark]

do you have img perms can i see some of your world builds?

curious maybe you had a greater vision

[verbal geyser]

do i need to change my cape for ashland? im using feather

[peak lark]

also you guys know any other good coop survival games

[gray sand]

I don't really do screenshots of my builds usually, sorry.
But I always do village builds instead of one massive building. So like each type of workbench gets its own dedicated build in the greater area.

[gray sand]

You don't need capes at all, so that is entirely up to you.

[peak lark]

makes sense

[quasi latch]

Feather cape is great in all biomes

[peak lark]

wdym no screenshots though thats kinda weird man

[gray sand]

🤔

[verbal geyser]

cause feather have very weak to fire debuff

[peak lark]

just dont get hit 👍

[verbal geyser]

lol

[undone forum]

I mean the ||ashen cape gives 12 armor|| soooo up to you

[verbal geyser]

bro if its spoiler that i shouldnt know why are u texting 😭

[peak lark]

have you never read a patch note?

[verbal geyser]

no

i start to playing game 2 weeks ago

[peak lark]

oooh

[undone forum]

It’s more of a thing for if you want a small spoiler you can reveal it if not keep it hidden

[peak lark]

do you like it what had you played befor

[verbal geyser]

wym

[peak lark]

what survival games

[verbal geyser]

i start to play valheim 2 weeks ago man not my game life

[peak lark]

i mean you played a survival game befor like any good reccomedations

[gray sand]

#building-screenshots message

I did a screenshot.

[verbal geyser]

idk man i mean u can play terraria, dont starve, subnautica, starbound, ARK, Project Zomboid those are the games that i could recomand

[gray sand]

Minecraft always on that list too.

[peak lark]

played them all

[verbal geyser]

oh shi yeah fs

[verbal geyser]

so idk man

[peak lark]

im tryna find something new because it was like so gold when valheim first released and i wanna find something like that

[verbal geyser]

my brother is playing Enshrouded this game its new and kind a looks like valheim theme

[willow summit]

I also really enjoy an early access game called palia. Not survival at all but very chill

[quasi latch]

My sister started on that game about 2 days ago. Seems pretty awesome.

[lunar sapphire]

Just a reminder that this is the #valheim-chat channel 😄

anything non-valheim related goes in the #general channel

[verbal geyser]

yea tru

[vocal rivet]

What the heck happened in here?

[lunar sapphire]

You left 💀

[verbal geyser]

guys do i need to take something to ashland that i cant teleport?

like in mistland u need to take BM cause u need to build extractor in ashland there is have something like that?

[gray sand]

Ashlands is when you stupidly unlock the ability to teleport everything everywhere always without any restriction.

[verbal geyser]

oh shit yea thats right i totaly forgot that

[lunar sapphire]

Tell us how you really feel

[vocal rivet]

Oh, he will. Every time.

[gray sand]

I have made my opinion on this known since it was introduced 😄 It is the one "mistake" I believe they have made.

[vocal rivet]

It's literally the second to last biome, it doesn't exactly break the rest of the game.

The one mistake was adding magic.

[gray sand]

It's literally the third to last biome, it doesn't exactly break the rest of the game.

[lunar sapphire]

sorry?

3rd to last? Are you including said ocean overhaul?

[vocal rivet]

I didn't say it breaks the game, I just don't think magic sits right. It's very much a personal opinion.

[lunar sapphire]

oh, I see now

ignore me

[gray sand]

And I don't think "teleport all" sits right.

[gray sand]

NEVER

[vocal rivet]

You can't teleport all.

[lunar sapphire]

I don't know what I started but let's not go down this convo chain 😄

[gray sand]

Name one material that cannot go through the Stone Portal?

[vocal rivet]

Any tame.

[gray sand]

Read comprehension failure 😄

[vocal rivet]

*Reading.

[lunar sapphire]

-# I was gonna say bears cos there's not a single bear in game so it can't physically be teleported if you tried.

-# and bears aren't a material

[gray sand]

Bingo.

[magic grail]

is there no command for killing a player?

[verbal geyser]

guys is it normal that all ashland skeletons are like group of 20 skeleton?

[gray sand]

It's the war biome, so...

[verbal geyser]

okey but like 20 SKELETON dude i cant do shit

[tepid prawn]

AoE weapons are good for that

or sniping from a safe-ish spot can work too

[verbal geyser]

wtf is that?

[tepid prawn]

Area of effect weapons that damage more than one thing at a time, like the staff of embers or the demolisher

[gray sand]

Giant hammer.

[verbal geyser]

should i use silver sword aginst em? them have weak to spirit

[gray sand]

Mistwalker better.

[verbal geyser]

aight

[tepid prawn]

can work yes i think silver sword is still less stamina use then mistwalker

[verbal geyser]

4 stamina diff

[tepid prawn]

but if there is 20 I d use the big hammer or the staff of embers

to thin them out a bit firsy

1 week ago I landed with staff of embers, staff of protection and mistwalker and a bow

Carapace helmet and pants, root chest, fire mead stamina mead ratatoskr and lightfood mead and health mead. 1 health 1 stamina 1 eitr food

[gray sand]

Full Carapace.
Berserkir Mead.
HHS food.

[blazing sorrel]

Including Armory mod, what weapon do people like to run around ashlands with?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[tepid prawn]

that CALLS for Bonemass buff though that layout

[gray sand]

<- Runs Eikthyr so begs to differ.

[tepid prawn]

it negates the Berserkir downsides though, ideally bring a friend and have both

[tepid prawn]

ashlands or mist weapons? Berserkir axes and staff of the wild for me, that armoury thing need to be discussed in the channel that Sevrahn linked

[verbal geyser]

bruh. i just walked like 30 sec and i saw someshit that looks like arena

that was boss arena

[tepid prawn]

could be boss arena

Ashlands boss is sometimes for me easier to find then elder haha

[verbal geyser]

and there is have gıant bird what is that?

[tepid prawn]

get closer and see what happens 😂

[verbal geyser]

[tepid prawn]

try not to die, maybe pop a fire mead when it flies towards you haha

[verbal geyser]

well, he run awey ig

is dungeons hard?

[tepid prawn]

the rock shaped ashlands dungeon? not hard imo

the thing with the green light is a bigger challenge

[verbal geyser]

in the entrance there is have animal skeleton s

[tepid prawn]

yeah I can tell you what it is if you want spoiler, is relatively easy very small dungeon

its easier than to fight nightspawns with lots of starred enemies or the big bird thing etc imo

[verbal geyser]

WTF IS MORGEN???????????

HELP

[tepid prawn]

you can fight it by rolling away or learn to parry it

its like sort of one of the troll equivalent creatures of Ashlands

[verbal geyser]

tha was scary dude i was just chillin and he just spawned

[tepid prawn]

they look scarier than they are on normal mode

[verbal geyser]

like abomination

[tepid prawn]

he doesn't respawn once you killed the one in there

they spawn outside in some areas too though

[verbal geyser]

this dungeon is to small right?

[tepid prawn]

yeah they all tiny

hopefully you found some cool loot

[verbal geyser]

like 6 molten core

[tepid prawn]

that is a good haul for just one putrid hole

[verbal geyser]

4 on the stick and 2 from chest

[tepid prawn]

can make something powerful with that

[verbal geyser]

can i oonnect wood portal and that big portal each other?

[tepid prawn]

yes

[verbal geyser]

DAMN

[tepid prawn]

also its big and you need stonecutter to build it, but you can teleport things that you normally can't through if you enter through the new one

if you want to teleport those metals and things both ways, then you need new ones at both ends

[verbal geyser]

im everytime before leaving my base im taking 2 surtling core 10 wood 20 finewood and 10 eyes with that anywhere i want i can built portal but i think now i have to game stonecutter things and big portal things if i want to teleport metals

[tepid prawn]

yeah sometimes I explore in Ashlands still with just taking a normal portal, but if I think I might need the big one then I take that as a travel portal and also 10 wood 4 stone 2 iron for stonecutter as well

[tacit crystal]

Gotta mention Himminafl, a great AoE weapon.

[verbal geyser]

yea

[tepid prawn]

but you could always just take the normal and then teleport the iron through to that location with a stone portal at the other end

if its needed for metal transport, all up to you how you want to handle that

[rose parcel]

Is it ok to go to the Ashland's with only having killed eikthyr

[verbal geyser]

💀

[rose parcel]

I've been fighting and killing seekers just fine from the mistlands

[verbal geyser]

i mean, why are u playing like this?

[rose parcel]

Because I am playing on a server where we are fighting the bosses slowly

[verbal geyser]

oh

[rose parcel]

My base is made of stone and the bottom floor is black marble because I got bored

[tepid prawn]

you can get there with the karve, its not easy though and you have to be really skilled too else you'll just loose your gear, much harder to get back than mistlands where you can just walk in

and if your server is okay with you doing that haha

[verbal geyser]

wait how are u even in mistland dude?

if u didnt killed yagluth u cant craft mist collecter

so u cant craft that eq

[tepid prawn]

you can survive there without seeing if you're good

[gray sand]

You can skip Yagluth entirely.

[rose parcel]

There's some parts that don't have mist

[gray sand]

The only "necessary" boss really is Moder.

[tepid prawn]

also how does he have a good enough pickaxe for marble already lol

I know its possible to get it etc but not efficient lol

[verbal geyser]

yea dude wtf there is have a lot of question

[rose parcel]

I have been tearing down dwarven structures

[tepid prawn]

ah I see with a stonecutter or something, did you get oozer iron?

[rose parcel]

Yeah

[tepid prawn]

I limit what people can do on my server, so people don't get ahead too far

but people all want to do different things, can't make everyone happy

[rose parcel]

I want grausten rocks

[verbal geyser]

for build?

[tepid prawn]

they almost farm themselves, its tricky to go ashlands but it definitely can be done (you are meant to go after killing Queen) I have gone there pre Queen

[rose parcel]

Yeah

[verbal geyser]

good luck man xD

[tepid prawn]

you will survive 0-1 hits from most things if you have good food in troll armour and full hp

often you might get staggered and die from that if you survive initial hit

[rose parcel]

I'm tempted to go into infested mines to get black cores so I can make that mistlands spear

[rain flare]

Thank you for the complement 😅

Honestly, going mistlands with the mist makes your life so much easier
You can normally manage perfectly fine so long as you remember you are going to die in one hit to practically everything that moves in there

[nimble moss]

You only need a Karve and sail to some “close” spires.

Then just mine G rock from the spire. No Ashland’s mobs to worry about (other than maybe vultures which are trivial)

[verbal geyser]

ummmm that giant bird is not bird man

[rose parcel]

Gjalls are mean

[rose parcel]

Oh ok thanks

[nimble moss]

Take a portal too 🙂

[tepid prawn]

They are only trivial if you use this trick I learned from this speedrun youtuber whats his name knot something 😛

[rose parcel]

Idk who that is

[tepid prawn]

i responded to the wrong comment, Afrayedknot has a run where he goes to Ashlands real early with a Karve

I have done Ashlands with a longboat but not with a Karve yet, I might try that at some stage too though cause why not

[tepid prawn]

The vultures are not trivial in that armour, the became trivial after I learned your trick 🙂

[nimble moss]

Yeah exactly. So place standing torch and sit back and enjoy 🙂

I did list it as a bug that the Dyrnwyn sword doesn’t scare the birds. They said it’s not a bug but a design decision been reviewed or something.

I do find it funny a small torch stick scares the bird, but a large flaming sword of intense fire the birds are like “meh, let’s go for it”

I recall seeing "Dyrnwyn not scaring greydwarves" on their issues list, but as low priority tier.

The dyrnwyn was just a letdown

Its like they knew it would be very rare and special so they didn't want to make it op, and they didn't make it good at all

keep looking. They can be found in either the frost caves, or in stone buildings (not wood cabins)

If you cant find any on your current mountain - go to another mountain

off to the next mountain then...

There are plenty of other mountains.

Take a boat and look around.

[vernal pebble]

They're kinda everywhere

[nimble moss]

basically go sailing, scan the horizon, enjoy the boat music

(or use the map viewer if you want, but I advise to avoid if you can)

eh - you can cheat and reveal map basically.

honestly avoid if your first time gaming this - enjoy it "as is"

You see your seed explored on a site
