valheim-chat

[nimble moss]

exactly - so yep - avoid. Was just listing all options as you asked

a seed that makes you explore more some people might say is a good seed 🙂

trust me - knowing what you've said so far, you still have much to explore 😉

[vernal pebble]

I'm doing a no map/portal save and I still haven't found haldor its probably impossible

Almost day 800

[tacit crystal]

I'd assume in no portal/no map setting that would be much harder to locate a merchant and get back to there.

Haven't been that immersive by myself despite my hours in game.

[vernal pebble]

Its fun if you play when you're in a good mood

I got lost for like a week irl once

Resulted in eating berries and making deer meat again until I found home

[nimble moss]

oh yeah - because most of the time I find traders its because I see it on minimap. So no map runs you need to see the trader - lol

[vernal pebble]

If it wasn't for yggdrasil it'd really be impossible I think to nomap

In the ashlands you don't see it so you get lost very very easy

[merry pebble]

You can still use build pieces as a compass, but yeah it would be very hard 😄

[vernal pebble]

I only made a little sundial in my base

[tacit crystal]

I'd suppose nomad style would fit well that no map/no portal theme.

[vernal pebble]

Na a big part for me is making a good base

Valheim has the best system of occupying space

[vernal pebble]

Can u find directions by looking at the stars? I never tried I don't even know how they are

[heady parcel]

Not so much the stars, but that big chunky tree in the sky can be used

[vernal pebble]

Ye I've been using that, why not stars? Too fast? They're random?

[nimble moss]

Its not even a "bug" - they just need to add the "Effect Area (Script) - Fire" to the asset. Same as the torch, and everything would just work. It still needs someone to spend time to adjust the asset - but its not a code/bug.

Ironically the "SwordIronFire" (the original version) has the script -but the new final version doesnt.

Hopefully it gets tweaked for 1.0...

[wary bane]

I've never played nomap, I get lost easy enough WITH a map haha. Could you also use the pick axe/hoe to get cardinal alignment? Dig a hole/raise earth and each straight edge would be a cardinal facing? You still wouldn't know which direction was which I suppose but it would at least narrow it down to 4 options.

[heady parcel]

I'd like a "soft" no-map mode utilising the Cartography Table. So you would explore, go back home and record your discoveries and only be able to read the map when interacting with the table.

[blazing sorrel]

Are 1hers worth using over 2hers late game? Ashlands mobs have a ton of life, but they also hurt so much and are hard to parry.

[nocturne wolf]

Both are valid, it all depends on what you prefer using

[heady parcel]

Yeah. It is generally more forgiving to go sword'n board, even if you don't land the parry every time the shield will keep you alive, while an upgraded Mistwalker or equal weapon does good enough damage. I have crafted the slayer, but honestly I found it very underwhelming vs Ashlands mobs. It adds a great deal of risk to fighing since you don't have a shield, while the damage output is not that impressive. I'm hoping it gets better once I find gems to enhance it, but so far sword'n board wins out by far.

[tacit crystal]

2h weapons usually have higher damage output, but benefits for 1h are that they allow using shield and have less stamina cost.
And in case of swords, 1h swords have no MTP currently, while 2h swords do, which should be vice versa.

[dreamy shadow]

That would be such a challenge I love it 😮

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, interaction with cartography table on no map run would tempt more to try out no map tbh.

[dreamy shadow]

And it would add an interest to have the table when solo playing

[tiny tiger]

Yall reckon next sneak peek will feature an enemy?

[nocturne wolf]

I really want to see an enemy or weapon (and what that enemy or weapon can actually do, not just how it looks) or just something combat related.
Some of the earliest ashlands dev blogs already showed concept art for multiple enemies

New armor was shown in this (although not this exact picture) #valheim-chat message so we might have a better look

[tacit crystal]

Made from the hides of ?

[vernal pebble]

Was there any reason for why bows glow?

[nocturne wolf]

Not all bows glow, and those that do are made from glowing materials (guck, refined eitr, gemstones)

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think so, you can look here
https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18297541318219631/?hl=en

It's shown twice. In one picture it's on the egde of the screen and not very clear, in the other it's in blender and the textures aren't shown

Looks like some kind of wood if I had to guess

[tacit crystal]

Interesting.

Didn't catch them while on mobile.

[nocturne wolf]

It has a set bonus too but the text is too small to read

[tacit crystal]

Would have to my eyes.

[tiny tiger]

Ai upscaling

[nocturne wolf]

The icon sort of looks like a grey hood. Maybe it's the magic armor

[tacit crystal]

Could be.

[nocturne wolf]

But the character doesn't look like it's wearing any kind of hood...

[tacit crystal]

The "creepy cute" comment tho, are the thing that was slightly seen peeping background in the latest video considered as such?

[nocturne wolf]

The text is two pixels tall

[tiny tiger]

L

[dreamy ore]

Why wouldn't yhe devs add slots for armour equipment?

[tacit crystal]

It's the decision of the devs.

[nocturne wolf]

The developers don't want to make the inventory bigger

[fleet pond]

If you want bigger inventory or slots for armor there’s mods for that.

[runic oriole]

its rly funny how many updates valheim got while terraria just cant release 1.4.5 that they announced like legit 2 years ago or so

[tiny tiger]

Fixing combat on slopes? let’s go

[robust token]

"The Voyage of Hervor Bluetooth" ... wait, no, it's "Bloodtooth"
^ my first reaction

[latent wave]

😂

[tiny tiger]

I remember it being such a heated discussion always regarding slopes

[rocky barn]

Question, if the deep north biome update comes out would we have to make a new world/save or could we continue with the one we currently have?

[robust token]

I think I seen similar question before. It's either don't load any of the Deep North, or new world.

Unless there's a tool for reseting portion of the map, which I'm unheard of

[nocturne wolf]

You can continue with an existing world but deep north is releasing with 1.0 which includes new content to existing biomes and a new playthrough will be the best way to experience that

[rocky barn]

Allright tysm!

[nimble moss]

Most exciting thing is looks like new fist weapons coming!

[tacit crystal]

And other combat related things! Who knows if we get more weapons of less used weapon types. 👀

||The new armor set|| looks dope too!

[nimble moss]

i interpret the new weapon to be related to deep north. The combat mechanics I am assuming is associated mechanic changes to what we have now as existing items, NPC AI maybe, bug fixes etc - but who knows... time will tell 🙂

Actually - it does say "But what would a combat update be without some new armour?" - and the combat update is pre-deep north (according to the news post itself) - so... maybe...?

[nocturne wolf]

I’d guess maybe growths drop new bones that are now used in this armor, or it is collected by destroying the bones around tar pits

[spice cradle]

it’s definitely ashlands stuff, you can see a fallen Valkyrie skull and morgen jaw in it

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands already has three armor sets, it doesn’t need more

[tacit crystal]

That... would work, actually.

[nimble moss]

the strange part about that is - we already have 3x sets of ashland armor

[spice cradle]

I mean that’s what’s in the armor

[nimble moss]

your not wrong - which is why I feel its more likely to be a deep north armor set in the picture... but the text implies otherwise... haha - we'll have to wait to see

[azure yacht]

there are plenty of bone sources found throughout the game, it could be a skull from somewhere else

[nimble moss]

the shoulder piece is defintely fallen valyke though

[azure yacht]

that conveniently looks like a valkyrie

[spice cradle]

it’s like a 1 to 1 match with the fallen Valkyrie trophy just in skull form

[tacit crystal]

And it might not necessarily be specific bone/skull: Spinesnap is made of bone fragments despite it resembling a spine (thus the name).

[azure yacht]

they could also add more lore about it as to justify why it looks like a valkyrie

but I'm very sure it won't be an ashlands set, it doesn't fit. why adding another armor for the biome with the most amount of gear?

[spice cradle]

and the headpiece looks like the bottom part of the morgen trophy

[tacit crystal]

Plains would be my guess - it has only 1 armor set.

[nimble moss]

it could be a deep north set - using ashland parts (with 1x deep north item to unlock) - I feel that is most likely

[nimble moss]

the items are too similar to Ashlands - it would actually look really weird to be running in Plains with Ashland related mob stuff....

[nimble moss]

like, if this was true, you'd use Goblin Brute stuff etc

there is enough tech/items/things in Plains to make an armor set of existing assets from that biome

[tacit crystal]

But what would a combat update be without some new armour?

This quote is why I think it would not be DN but much before.

[nimble moss]

yep - but maybe the words imply it incorrectly... could be a red herring...

...anyway - time will tell - either way it looks cool..

[tacit crystal]

Ultimately, we will see when we will see.

[nimble moss]

Why cant we do "skiptime" dev command IRL...

[nocturne wolf]

That does not look like a Valkyrie skull to me.

[nimble moss]

look at the trophy - 100% its that

[tacit crystal]

Lorewise it could be an animal that existed in Valheim but went extinct by tar growths (IF plains).

[nimble moss]

...eh - yeah - fair

[tacit crystal]

@nocturne wolf planted the idea on me now when mentioned tar pits.

[azure yacht]

the update is before DN

[nimble moss]

yep - the issue is the items in the armor that is displayed are clearly Ashlands items (currently). Ashlands already has 3x armor sets. So you think they are releasing a 4th ashland armor set?

That is the discussion we're having

unless its just a reskin of existing armor - but the items dont match...

its all speculation either way...

[spice cradle]

the headpiece is the bottom part of a morgen trophy, and the bones match the color of the bones on flametal armor. It’s definitely at least made with ashlands material

[azure yacht]

they could just add lore to justify it having the look it has if it's pre-ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Like I speculated here: #valheim-chat message

[nimble moss]

perhaps - maybe we dig up the bones scattered around the world when they were all over. But still seems weird when you think about all the existing stuff... i.e. goblin brute assets for plains armor - why re-use Ashland tech?

And remember - they are likely to release deep north armor sets when DN comes out... so what is more likely? Ashland stuff in DN is my guess... but obviously just a guess...

could be a rework of existing armor/assets including changing the build requirements to include the trophies.... /shrug

[vernal pebble]

I wish crossbows were more viable

[nimble moss]

"Some of you may already have glimpsed it on our Instagram stories last week"

Anyone know what this is referring to? I cant find anything on Istragram that seems related...

edit: ok, so stories disappear after 24 hours. Anyone know what the story was about?

[nimble moss]

they are extremely viable

[vernal pebble]

You can use them but its nowhere near close to bows

[nocturne wolf]

You can't dodge in any way other than walking while reloading. They're good for a few shots on distant enemies but not as a main weapon

[vernal pebble]

That part makes sense its not the problem

If only they stayed loaded I'd use them a lot more already

[nocturne wolf]

You mean the trophy that doesn't have any teeth?

[nimble moss]

I'm talking about the in-game fallen valkyre trophy vs what's on the shoulder - yep - just missing the lower jaw - which is easily explainable

[merry pebble]

Well it is the closest looking one we currently have, so i would be inclined to think it would be used in the recipe, tho it is true it does not have teeth

[nocturne wolf]

Well, the valkyrie trophy does have teeth but in a different position (I just noticed now)

It has a set of human jaws behind the beak

[nimble moss]

Tell me that's not the shoulder item: #screenshots message

[nocturne wolf]

On the armor the teeth cover the whole 'beak'

It looks more like a dog's snout to me

[nimble moss]

yep - but unless the lore opens another style of Vykerie - the most logical choice is what we have

the news even says "What kind of creature is it made from, do you think"

anyway - time will tell - but I'm a betting man - so I bet on that

[merry pebble]

I bet asksvin and valkyrie 😄

[tacit crystal]

Not asksvin skull at least.

[nocturne wolf]

Valkyries also don't have large fangs at the end of their jaws

[merry pebble]

Ribcage will be more likely imo 🙂

[nimble moss]

maybe a frozen version of a deep north vykerie - they died and thier bones were frozen long ago before the version we have today - in an older pre-evolved state

[merry pebble]

This armor will come before Deep north tho 🤔

[nimble moss]

we assume that based on the way the news story is written - but I'm not convinced. Only because it just seems way too much for a 4th ashland armor set, and we know DN is around the corner, and that would almost certainly have new armor sets.

A rework of existing armor is possible though - yep

"some of you may already have glimpsed it on our Instagram stories last week,"

What did they post last week? A deep north related story is my guess.

[merry pebble]

"...We’re also working on a smaller update, which will be released before the Deep North, that focuses on improving Valheim’s combat mechanics..."
"...But what would a combat update be without some new armour?..."

Fairly certain it will come before DN 😉

[merry pebble]

I think that was Lisa overtaking the instagram stories, might be some glimpse in the background?

[nocturne wolf]

There was a conversation about it earlier today. It has two pictures of the armor we just saw in the blog.

It was hard to tell exactly how the armor looked but from it we know the armor will have a set bonus

[nimble moss]

was this a DN discussion?

[nocturne wolf]

It was a generic AMA from one of the developers. It was not specifically related to the deep north.

[nimble moss]

these dont have to be related sentenaces. It refers to combat mechanics in the first sentence. And then combat update in the second.

I just feel like - if you take a step back - what's the most realistic scenario here? A 4th ashland armor set shortly before DN, or a new armor set unlocked in DN using Ashland items.

I'm betting on the later. I dont deny the possiblilty of the earlier - but knowing how much time they spend on these things - I dont imagine much changing of existing asset stuff that extreme...

[merry pebble]

They are pretty clearly connected tho...

[nimble moss]

eh - I'm happy to be wrong. The new armor looks cool - would love for it now - Just voicing a speculation. Anyway - I'll leave it at that - I've made my opinion known 🙂

[merry pebble]

I am also not really blown away that ashlands would have 4 sets when plains for example have only one, however it seems it will be that way from the looks of the armor

[vast fox]

when is the new update comeing out?

[nimble moss]

no one knows for sure - we only know what is in #news

[vast fox]

ok ty then i dont need to worry about making a new game yet

[nimble moss]

yeah - I found the picture - and there defintely looks like a new status icon in the top right - doesnt look like anything we know of currently

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn't look like anything on the armor but I don't know why else it would be there.

[nimble moss]

interestingly they also have the "cold" debuff - so it cant just be straight up freezing buff like existing armor

[merry pebble]

May i ask where did you find it? 🙂

[nimble moss]

which implies maybe a deep north style buff to get around - I suppose the one thing about a new Ashlands armor set is it is solely designed for deep north unlock

[nocturne wolf]

https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18297541318219631/?hl=en

[nimble moss]

JadePG youtube - "deep north teases" video posted 5 days ago. About 6:48 in

or what bobi posted - even better!

looks like a dverger trophy as a buff?

[merry pebble]

Little bit? But not really imo

[nimble moss]

...yeah - less concinved the more I look. interesting either way...

[plush umbra]

AHHH the ||elaking|| creature in the news update looks so cool!!!
I was googling the word and it actually is a swedish translation that means "baddie" lol

[nimble moss]

where is my "CSI - enhance image!" style ability

[nocturne wolf]

The text is two pixels tall so it's completely unreadable

I thought it looked like some kind of hood but since the armor doesn't have a hood that seems very unlikely. It's probably just some kind of placeholder.

[nimble moss]

oh - there is a 3d unrendered version of the new armor in another pic

[prime edge]

I’m curious if anyone else has noticed something about the raid music. I’m asking here as I’m not sure if it’s a bug or something the devs chose to do. But the raid music that plays for enemies depending on which boss you’ve yet to beat has always had a progressing number of instruments added to it to show how intense the raids are becoming. But I’ve noticed this has stopped from the seeker raid on up and the raid music has defaulted to the Greydwarf version. Where it lacks the horn and string addition that was part of the drake and Fuling raids.

Is this something that is only a thing happening on my end, a bug, or a choice by the devs? I ask because I was enjoying the gradual intensity to the raid music and found it odd it had changed for the more recent raids.

[lunar sapphire]

It is confirmed. I am going to live in the Deep North when the gates allow us in

[light moat]

Same, it looks stunning!

[heady parcel]

Yeah "||elak" means malicious or wicked so "elaking" or would be a "malicious/wicked one",|| so baddie is pretty accurate 😄

[merry pebble]

It reminds me of one of the creatures from our folklore 😄 at least by looks and the translation of the name fits too

[tacit crystal]

"||Rascal||" more likely.

[heady parcel]

Yeah

[robust iris]

i love this game

MNWHAHAHAHAH im an addict

[formal kraken]

I've been giving these devs shit on forums for the sloped combat for so long now it feels like the end of an era.

[heady parcel]

I wonder what they're planning in that regard. I've always played it like I play any shooter - as if what I'm aiming at is where my attack goes, even in melee. So if this means the "hit window" of our melee swings is going to be centered around where the cursor is rather than just straight ahead from the position of the character, it will be perfect.

[lunar sapphire]

Gotta join the “add bikes to valheim” guy on twitter and then you’re set!

[merry epoch]

Got a wraith trophy on my second wraith kill lol

[formal kraken]

Unlocking the y-axis will require fixing how mobs interact with stairs and other slopes. They are fixing more than just the combat.

[heady parcel]

Gods, when mobs start walking up the 45 degree stairs half my bases are so buggered...

Next thing they start jumping over moats too

[prime edge]

Climbing raised terrain

[vast lily]

Good question? Is this new armor set for Plains or Ashlands? I feel like plains needed a new set and this one looks cool though the Valkyrie and bones makes me feel like it's ashlands armor (though it already has 3 armor sets).

[prime edge]

Plains maybe. right off the top of my head there is only the heavy armor for that tier.

or mistlands as I don't think it has a medium armor. Only carapace and etir, I believe

[nocturne wolf]

I think plains is most likely

[vast lily]

Yeah I hope they add it to plains. Probably needs some lore explanation like being from Tar pits and certain Valkyrie flied and died. Plus the armor set gives me Conan the Barbarians vibe.

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think that's a valkyrie skull

The position of the teeth is wrong and there are large fangs on the end which a valkyrie doesn't have

[azure yacht]

only in the very specific scenario where you have leveled up bows

[heady parcel]

Could be something entirely new?

[vast lily]

Still looks like a beak to me even if it has jaws.

Also the other jaw parts are quite small but they resemble fish mouths or something. Maybe ashlands or regular sea serpent mouth pieces.

The cloth also resembles a bit like fenris hair and the hand claws have a bit of tar wood with bones as claws.

The armor set might hint that it's ashlands but it can pretty much be from Tar pits.

[tacit crystal]

Actually when looking more close it looks like it has 2 bigger sharp front teeth, which might make it look like a beak.

If my eyes don't lie to me.

[azure yacht]

haven't seen anyone mentioning that it could just be a new enemy...

[merry pebble]

That would mean adding new enemy to some existing biome 🤔

[azure yacht]

i also noticed that that is actually a stupid idea to use as a pauldron, you are using a skull that is constantly piercing your skin

now i understand why the character died in the first place and not reach valhalla directly, the character is just an idiot

[merry pebble]

Such minor inconvenience cant stop a tough viking from looking cool

[prime edge]

How dare you bring realism into my Norse-themed fantasy survival game. 😛

[spice cradle]

it’s 100% from ashlands, it uses a fallen Valkyrie skull, the headpiece is the bottom part of a morgen trophy and the bones are identical in color to the bones in the flametal armor set

[swift vapor]

Heyyy I'm new to game lol n idk WTF I'm doing anyone wanna join me in world I just made?

[azure yacht]

nah

[spice cradle]

I mean I don’t see how you can explain away all the comparisons to existing Ashlands items

[floral kayak]

these have got to be some of the worst devs at communicating to their content starved audience

[merry pebble]

So many negative people today

[cinder eagle]

beler bu kazanı nasıl 5 seviye yapcaz?

[azure yacht]

the only similarity is the vulture-like skull, rest is just bones. tar pits are full of bones, not impossible to get anything from there

[azure yacht]

it's even funnier the +10th time

[cinder eagle]

How do we upgrade the cauldron to level 5 aq?

[azure yacht]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cauldron#Level_6_(5_Cauldron_upgrades)

[spice cradle]

yeah the devs just decided to copy a bunch of Ashlands creatures’ designs for their plains armor

[azure yacht]

yes, it would totally be the very first questionable thing they have done in the game in over four years...

[charred otter]

What food combo is recommended for plains (no serpent) currently using HHS but the food spreadsheet has "F", does "F" mean health regen? and should I start going for HSF once I can get a food for that?

[merry pebble]

F is Feast 🙂

[tacit crystal]

F means feast.

[charred otter]

What is that

[merry pebble]

Did you find bog witch yet?

[tacit crystal]

Have you found Bog witch?

[timid sun]

I am a big fan of the feasts, great addition imo

[charred otter]

Nope

Based on the name I assume swamp

[tacit crystal]

We are 🦜ing now @merry pebble

[merry pebble]

Indeed we are 😄

[charred otter]

It's probably like haldor, aka just gotta explore and hope I find it?

[timid sun]

Yupp

[merry pebble]

Yep

[tacit crystal]

Feasts are additional food items that are placed and eaten from that spot, they give balanced stats and last longer.

[charred otter]

Yay (oof), also I have a || t-shirt || icon on my map, is that it by any chance? (although I think it's in the plains biome)

[timid sun]

That's not it, different NPC

[tacit crystal]

That is Hildir.

[merry pebble]

As ForeverKing said, witches icon is a cauldron 🙂

[charred otter]

Yea I assumed so cuz it seems to be in plains not swamp

[tacit crystal]

She is found in meadows.

She spawns at some distance from the center, 3000-5100m range iirc.

[charred otter]

At least will save me finding it when I'll need her

[tacit crystal]

You can get ||special locations' markers|| if you interact with ||her map table||.

[vernal pebble]

Im starting to think you can use valheim stars to find directions

Theres always a few distinct clusters

[charred otter]

Probably true, I saw some1 say u can use the tree for that so it'd make sense

Wait where can barely grow? it tells me "can't grow in this environment" although it might be due to rain?

[merry pebble]

Plains 🙂

[tacit crystal]

They barely grow in anywhere else than plains.

[charred otter]

Is there a way to get the barely back after I planted it? I kinda planted all of it without realising this

[merry pebble]

Oh... then you ned to find new one i am afraid

[charred otter]

I should've just made the mead, 50 would've lasted me for a while

[tacit crystal]

Once planted you cannot get it back.

In case of wrong biome.

[charred otter]

Does it grow really slowly or just doesn't grow at all, if slowly then how long

[nocturne wolf]

It can't grow outside plains

[tacit crystal]

It tries to grow and gets destroyed at the end.

[charred otter]

Ah ffs, welp I hope I can get more in the same area, I worked hard for these

[tacit crystal]

Similarly how plants that are too close to an object die if not doing anything about it.

[charred otter]

Also what lvl should my skills be at this stage and is it worth training them like crafting/cooking/running/jumping for no reason other than to lvl it up so it gets better?

[merry pebble]

Dont look at the levels too much 🙂 they are not taht important

However in plains fifties are not uncommon i believe

[charred otter]

My cooking/crafting is really low cuz I played mostly before those updates so it's only 6 cooking 11 crafting, run is 66, jump is 43 pickaxe/axe are 38 and swords r 37

[merry pebble]

sound resonable 🙂

[timid sun]

Some of the skills are very helpful but should not really be hard focused on. Whatever level you get them to at whatever point you're at is probably fine. Bow skill lvl 85 recommended for machine gun fun but that's about it 😉

[tacit crystal]

Run and jump skills are also quite noticeable when on higher levels.

[fleet pond]

Just wait the hour til they’re ready to Harvest

[timid sun]

"one day I'll be able to jump onto my roof without the need for a step stool"

[tacit crystal]

Normally yeah, but they planted barley on wrong biome by accident.

[fleet pond]

Oooooh I see. Didnt notice that

[opaque sundial]

Is this game even worth playing?

[rose parcel]

Yeah

[opaque sundial]

No one will play it with me cause it's low-poly, and this game feels boring alone.

[timid sun]

Up to the individual. For me this is one of my favorite games I've played in recent years and I've sunk about 2,300 hours into it.

[vernal pebble]

The tree is easy everyone confirms you can but some say you cant with stars

[formal kraken]

I'm really hopeful this minor patch they teased today will sort all my combat complaints out. I would say it'll be in a very good place soon™️

[opaque sundial]

So that's a no. Thank you.

[rose parcel]

That's a skill issue on their part

[vernal pebble]

Its boring if I play with my friends alone is great

[nocturne wolf]

It's in a good place now

[opaque sundial]

How? They won't play it cause the game looks like a PS1 game? That's akin to knocking people cause they don't like Unreal Engine 5.

[timid sun]

Alone is fine but I've also done a few servers with friends and several servers with randoms because I love chaos. But finding a group of people to play with who will stick with it? Incredibly difficult.

[rose parcel]

Yeah, skill issue that they won't play something just because of the graphics

[opaque sundial]

That's cool. If I wanted to play solo games, I'd play single player games.

[opaque sundial]

Some people won't date others they don't find attractive. It's a thing.

[formal kraken]

I think they meant that it becomes too easy in a group. I'd agree.

[opaque sundial]

Oh okay.

[opaque sundial]

That makes it sound like a worthless endeavor, imo.

[vernal pebble]

No, for me its like they want to go fast etc and I take my time also I HATE how people use my chests

[timid sun]

Yupp, I think it might be best for you to find something else

[timid sun]

Very difficult to balance pace and playtimes. Of all my 20+ servers this has been an issue on 100% of them

[opaque sundial]

Yeah, I'm trying. DayZ, Mechwarrior Online, Palworld, Lords of the Fallen, Armored Core 6, Bleach Rebirth of Souls, etc.

[vernal pebble]

I mean my friend really doesn't cooperate at all he throws stuff on the ground or random chests, we had a open boar farm he used to walk in front of them getting killed by greydrawves countless times and did nothing

Its like hardcore+

[opaque sundial]

Sounds about right.

[timid sun]

Every group needs someone like that, gives the rest of you something to complain about when they aren't online 😉

[ember panther]

Oooo deep north has frosty fulings 👀

[fleet pond]

Just need to make friends. I’ve been playing with the same people ever since I started this game. Multiple playthroughs multiple worlds. One of the groups are even people I met from LFGs. You just gotta make connections.

[timid sun]

I am an incredibly unlikeable person and am incapable of making friends 🙂

[fleet pond]

Lol well if you think like that then yeah you’ll never make friends. Just saying

[timid sun]

That's just what I've been told, just spreading the message 😄

[fleet pond]

Also maybe not playing 20+ servers at a time.

Would definitely help you out. If you play like 2-3 where you’re constantly in the same server people would try and get to know you better

[timid sun]

I have never played more than 1 server at a time. I've played 20+ servers over the course of 4 years

[charred otter]

Can the bog witch be near the edges of a swamp or should I go deeper, I prefer to trail the edge if possible (and my haldor is near water too)

[fleet pond]

Oh okay I misunderstand that one message then

[fleet pond]

Depending on how big the swamp is but you should be able to just sail on the edge of the swamp and have bog witch show up on the map. That’s what I normally do.

[timid sun]

That's alright, I've also been told I type like an idiot so no one can ever understand what I'm trying to say 😦 and also I type too much so I get told to quit yapping a lot

[charred otter]

Oh I should probably do that, I'll try a bit more by land and I'll do it when I give up

[charred otter]

Can relate to the last part about yapping a lot

[fleet pond]

Faster sailing but do what you wanna do 🙂

[charred otter]

Ok agreed (abom spawned for like the 3rd time and I am tired of dealing with them)

[timid sun]

On my last server I had a swamp that spawned them constantly and I felt the same way about it. The first few are fine because I wanted the drops but after the 40th kill or so it started to feel more like a chore x)

[charred otter]

I already crafted all the root stuff (I finished mountains) and have 44 roots spare so it's just pain (also almost died cuz a few shooting draugrs ganged up on me while fighting an abom)

[timid sun]

All you have to do is find a cool way to decorate using the abomination trophies, that way you can feel like you're at least getting something out of it 😄

[ionic iron]

Any mods in chat?

[tacit crystal]

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

[ionic iron]

lol I meant moderators

[tacit crystal]

You can contact @dusky pivot if related to issues with someone in this server.

[ionic iron]

No, I linked the wiki in the wiki channel and I got timed out by auto mod

[tacit crystal]

Did you "hide" the link? Automod removes those iirc.

[ionic iron]

I suppose someone could consider it being hid. I hyperlinked a word, but the word turns blue. Not exactly hiding.

[charred otter]

If I destroy a ship with a sword I regain the materials right

[tacit crystal]

You can paste the link like this: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki

If you use hyperlink automod will remove the message.

[timid sun]

One of the reasons why I don't repair my ship frequently during long sails, makes it faster to break once the journey is over 😄

[ionic iron]

Silly, unless it's been a problem I guess. Thanks.

[tacit crystal]

I think some have abused the hyperlink to post links to suspicious websites before, which is why it is not allowed to use, afaik.

[timid sun]

This server has had some fun times 🙂

[tacit crystal]

The hack of the server...

[solid portal]

@opaque sundial Game is defiantly not boring, yes it starts slow but by the time you make it through the black forest it gets much better. better building, better armor and better ships and better food options.

[quasi latch]

Meadows is considered by many to be a sort of tutorial period for Valheim, with the real gameplay starting at black forest. The first boss can be beaten in the first day or two quite easily.

[serene cargo]

what do yall think the new armor is made out of?

[solid portal]

@charred otter use your axe to kill the Abomination 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Swords work well too

[atomic hatch]

hello chat

[slow flicker]

looks like whatever that was attacking Hervor in the video

[nocturne wolf]

The new armor is being added to an existing biome, not deep north

[solid portal]

@serene cargo looks like a cross between beserker and Bonemaw

[slow flicker]

ahh well then

maybe vulture from ashlands

[atomic hatch]

whats your favourate feature about valheim

i like the buikding

[nocturne wolf]

The combat is my favourite of any game

[atomic hatch]

most people say it takes to long aswell

[atomic hatch]

would you use a sword or some other type of weapon?

[quasi latch]

My favorite aspect is certain items talking smack when put on an item stand

[nocturne wolf]

Swords are good, but not for every situation. I'll also use maces and polearms. I try to avoid ranged weapons mainly because I find them less fun to use.

[quasi latch]

It's such a small little detail, but it's really funny and immersive

[atomic hatch]

i tend to use the bows and either axe or sword or sonetimes a mace

[tacit crystal]

I have lately used maces, axes and spears the most.

[prime edge]

Why chose? Use every weapon.

[atomic hatch]

maces are good forf killing the goop things right

and bonemass

[tacit crystal]

You mean blobs? Yeah and best for Bonemass.

[nocturne wolf]

They're good for Stone Golems too

[atomic hatch]

i used to play this game alot

[tacit crystal]

They are good defensive weapons due to knockback and share the attack animation of swords.

[atomic hatch]

havetn played it fully since before ashlands update came out

[nocturne wolf]

Same here

[slow flicker]

make the sledgehammer for crowd control when fighting bonemass and an iron mace against bonemass

[nocturne wolf]

The iron mace works well enough on itss own, there's no need to spend extra iron for both weapons

[atomic hatch]

i wanna play it but its dam lonely single player

[tacit crystal]

Unless one wants to.

[atomic hatch]

but theres also a calm to it

[slow flicker]

Sledge takes out mulitple skeletons at once plus has push back for the draugrs

[tacit crystal]

It also has 2x stagger multiplier.

[slow flicker]

yep, i find it more effective to use during the bonemass fight than a mace

[nocturne wolf]

The DPS against bonemass is significantly lower though

[quasi latch]

Imagine not running battleaxe smh

[atomic hatch]

ever tried to build a castle

[opaque sundial]

Fair enough. I just never get that far.

[dreamy shadow]

#screenshots message @near furnace did I just unlock a side quest ?? Will I obtain some nuts ? 😂

[timid sun]

I decided that in all future playthroughs I'm just going to box bonemass to death. Give him the ol' one-two about 80 times 😄

[quasi latch]

Not all that impressive tbh. Gotta use the secondary attack exclusively.

[timid sun]

Kick him right in the... Mass.

[gray sand]

BEAT HIS MASS!

[solid portal]

anyone try the silver sword at lvl 4 in the ashlands?

[gray sand]

It does fine.

[nocturne wolf]

The silver sword deals more damage than mistwalker against charred while also costing less stamina. It's the weapon I use for starred charred warriors before gemstones.

[gray sand]

Two-handed silver sword when? 😏

[trail surge]

do we know which biome or nah?

[nocturne wolf]

No, but I'd guess plains because it only has one set

[trail surge]

yea that would make the most sense

[gray sand]

New Meadows armor 😏

[nocturne wolf]

Meadows has two armor sets already

[gray sand]

It also could be Mistlands tbh, because there is only Heavy Melee and Mage, there is no Light Melee in that biome.

[trail surge]

looking at the design it def looks like plains the plates on the wrists look like they are made with tar

[quasi latch]

Flint armor

Every time you get hit by a metal weapon, it sets you on fire

[gray sand]

It most likely is.
And it means all the "WHY ONLY 1 ARMOR IN PLAINS" people will finally shut up 😄

[timid sun]

The strategy is to hug all of your enemies 🙂

[vapid hearth]

I should check if I can pull mobs out of vertical ditches with a harpoon
First I gotta find leviathans to get the materials needed

Maybe on my path to find the Mistlands or Yagluth for some marble to craft a few nice foods

[solid portal]

@trail surge could be armor from the Seeker Soldier 😲

[rustic vapor]

Is it possible to build a bigger boat than the "raft"?

[runic spoke]

tfw you wanna teach your dad that giants are dangerous and the first one he meets is stuck between some bushes so he just shoots it down

[solid portal]

@rustic vapor yes 3 more boats to come as you progress

[timid sun]

We love boats around here

[rustic vapor]

What do i need to unlock them? Raft is kinda useless

[nocturne wolf]

You need bronze nails for the next boat

[runic spoke]

don't say that it's great for getting off mountains quickly >:(

[rustic vapor]

Thank you!

[runic spoke]

you may or may not die in the process

[solid portal]

@rustic vapor you need fine wood

[timid sun]

Nothing beats floating around on a raft and fishing with the boys. But nothing is worse than actually trying to travel on a raft.

[gray sand]

According to this, swimming is better than rafting.

[timid sun]

That is correct!

[gray sand]

Dies in ocean due to stamina loss.
But they said swimming was better...

[timid sun]

If you're ever in a situation where you can't swim out of it, and your only option is a raft, then it's simply time to un-install

[gray sand]

Which would force a decent % of the game pop to uninstall based on their world gen.

[timid sun]

If that's what must be done, then so be it!

[gray sand]

🤦‍♂️

[rustic vapor]

Uh so i accidentally booted up valheim outside of the mod manager

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion #mods-issues

[manic ore]

https://i.imgur.com/S2Yx8jk.png

damn I have only done 1 duo run and this is my first solo run and I find that thing so fast

[solid portal]

@timid sun do you fish off a raft? never tried it.... is it better than any boat?

[timid sun]

Nope, just the vibe is cooler

[next pasture]

for moder and later plains, would an iron buckler or silver shield be better for parries?

[nocturne wolf]

The silver shield blocks and parries better

[next pasture]

really? it has less parry bonus and durability than the iron buckler, sitting at 1.5x parry and 200 durability compared to the iron bucklers 2.5x parry and 300 durability

or is that just because my bucklers upgraded?

[nocturne wolf]

Parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying. The gap in block armor is large enough that the silver has higher armor when parrying, even with the lower multiplier.

But you should upgrade it when you can

[next pasture]

alright

[viral prairie]

@near furnace I’m sorry if tagging you is against rules I couldn’t find a reference anywhere to it but do you guys ever intend on adding mod support to console? On top of that what’s the chances of adding dev commands to the admin powers on console so people can fly and have nocost ect

If it’s not something you can discuss that’s perfectly okay

[near furnace]

maybe around 1.0
but most of our regulars can also answer that type of question

[viral prairie]

I’m sorry I just know your a developer so I didn’t know my apologies

[tacit crystal]

You can generally ask around if you have questions. 👍

[near furnace]

I'm one of 2 Community managers tho, and I am in charge of discord. so I allow people to ping me

I'm just mentioning our regulars, since they've seen me replying to these kind of questions 1000s of times and know the answer 😛

[rose parcel]

When are they adding the creatures that drop fenris fur and claws

[tacit crystal]

Unlikely, afaik.

[viral prairie]

That’s fair I just couldn’t be bothered to scroll till I found the question I’m at work atm😂😭 I appreciate what you do tho !🤝🤝

[prime edge]

There’s plenty to find inside of Frost Caves. No real need for a creature to drop them. Even better if you up resource modifiers.

[rose parcel]

Oh ok

[glacial monolith]

hi new joiner, which channel do i enter about creating a world?

[tacit crystal]

If you mean playing with others in your own world, then https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

[glacial monolith]

thank you

[proper kindle]

Has anybody seen intersecting silver veins that wouldn't "pop"? I found two veins in the same orientation and separated by a very small distance so that they were mostly overlapping. I dug all around and underneath, as usual, but could not get them to pop at all. I wonder if they were supporting each other.

[near furnace]

yes. not uncommon and it's not a bug or issue really. sometimes the ground doesn't completly let the silver vain float

[proper kindle]

Cool, good to know it's not a "me problem". Is that linked to the two veins intersecting, or is it just the underlying terrain?

[agile temple]

I WANNA SEND AN IMAGE

[tacit crystal]

You can in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 if Valheim related.

[agile temple]

alr i got a friend i wanna show in there

mf killed our pet skeleton so he'll be taking his place

hope it was worth it

[gleaming bridge]

just killed the queen pog

do i need poison res for ashlands

[tacit crystal]

There are 2 mobs that deal poison but not in significant amounts so you will suffice without the mead.

[nimble moss]

I know ||Fallen Vyalkerie|| do, but I can’t think of the 2nd? What is it?

[tacit crystal]

||Bonemaw (when it shoots fire balls)||.

[nimble moss]

Arh yep. Forgot about that. Thanks.

[ebon zenith]

Does anyone know if Valheim will ever get Steam Acheivements? Im looking forward to it soooo much

[tacit crystal]

1.0 update.

[tepid prawn]

Yeah I don't use poison for Ashlands, but always fire especially of course when using root chest or feather cape

[frank swift]

Man I wish the hide/show item had more use.. it would be so convenient if I could keep my dagger and shield on my back while I equip my bow. Then, I could quickly equip them when enemies get close with a single button

The most use I've found is to put the dagger and shield on my back and hover over my bow on the hotbar. That way, I can quickly equip either with a single button

[ebon zenith]

thanks! that makes me so happy

But we're kinda far off from 1.0 right? or do i not understand? 0.2 ish is where we're at right now right?

[tacit crystal]

2 upcoming updates are confirmed, 1st will be a smaller combat update and the 2nd will be the last biome update which also will be 1.0 version.

We don't have timeline for those tho.

[gleaming bridge]

guys im in ashlands and eveywhere is just boulders, any advice?

just want to find shore to set my TP and start blasting dudes

[tawdry ledge]

try cutting through the boulders and maneuver around them, there should be shorelines there

[wintry prism]

keeping going south and you'll find land

[gleaming bridge]

we almost at the edge omg

THE FIRST MOB WASA 2 STAR WARRIOR SKELETON THING

are frost arrows still the best?

i died and they destroyed our portal i got shit on by like 10 mobs at once lol
Lowkey think i dont wanna play anymore

[rich nymph]

can we change POV in valheim? i think FPP is best way to build someting

[azure yacht]

no

[livid zenith]

They are the second highest damage arrow in the game (6 damage behind first place) and they slow enemies down on hit and deal a damage type not many things resist

[tepid prawn]

Its probably many months away yes, but its not like we are going from 0.2 to 0.3 to 0.4 0.5 0.6 etc this is not how that works at all.

[tepid prawn]

I usually put first portal on a rock spire a bit away from land to be safer, someone might be able to rescue you including body recovery squad

[celest acorn]

Have a fully upgraded draugr fang, and i used 300+ obsidian arrows… there are definitely better. Also, try to hit her while she’s on the ground

Though if you’re low on health or need to repair your bow, leave when she lands then leave

Yes

Yes, and it gives a poison effect on your body enemy

[undone forum]

When she lands and if you have a sword use the secondary attack for a good amount of dmg

[verbal geyser]

is iron torches make smoke in house?

[tacit crystal]

Torches don't produce smoke. Fireplaces, hanging and standing braziers do.

[verbal geyser]

and hot tub

it wasnt the torches that making smoke it was my hot tub :3

[rain flare]

#screenshots message

@agile temple, troll in the dungeon! 😂

ngl he deserved it

Nah - if he is from a raid, sure, but trolls that spawn naturally won’t

[verbal geyser]

👍

[verbal geyser]

guys how am i gonana walk on lava?

[rose parcel]

Basalt bomb

[rain flare]

That’s the neat thing…
You don’t 😂

You can basically do a bunny hop at best

[rain flare]

Be careful when using these - lava has a habit of spitting out big blobs of goop that will push you off your platforms

[rose parcel]

True

[dreamy shadow]

I'd like to answer you but I don't find how to put a spoiler on phone 😅😅

[verbal geyser]

what is end game sword? nidhögg?

[verbal geyser]

no worry i watcehd vid already u good xD

[dreamy shadow]

Ok, didn't want to spoil anything to the others, plus I'm not sure if my memory is right x)

[rain flare]

It the ||Drynnwyrn||

Nidhogg is one of the other semi endgame swords 😉

||Drynwyrn|| isn’t really better than the other swords, but it requires a hectic amount of effort to get it, and you can only make one

It’s a unique Easter egg

[robust token]

It's a 3rd person view game, right..?

Nidhogg and the two handed sword, Slayer. As well as Dyrwyrn if you count that as one.

Dyrnwyn*

[tacit crystal]

Big what? 👀

[vernal pebble]

Is that a correct sentence

[rain flare]

Aaaaw DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

For the love of Odin’s fluffy beard, WHY must you be like this???

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, sure.

[rain flare]

There is no curse in elvish, entish or the tones of men, for this treachery!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[tacit crystal]

Can you really blame over seeing such words?

Besides, someone else would have probably noticed it anyway.

[vernal pebble]

How long are weather effects or are they random

[tacit crystal]

Weather is determined for each day in each biome. There was a website where you can look out for this info.

[vernal pebble]

Yesterday I got lost for hours there was a thunderstorm in every biome

[verbal geyser]

which nidhögg is best?

[vernal pebble]

always thunder meta

[verbal geyser]

thats what i thought thanks

[vernal pebble]

They should rework the blood weapons really no one is using them if they know about other gems

[verbal geyser]

is it best for every kind of weapon? like bow mace ?

[vernal pebble]

Yes

You can use jade if you want to cheese little bosses

[nimble moss]

You do double | symbol on each side to ||get results like this, written on my iphone||

[dreamy shadow]

oooh ty ! I do it with right click on pc so I was a little confused on phone x)

[nimble moss]

It actually works on PC too as a markdown style, so you can just type it for faster

[dreamy shadow]

ok ty, I'll keep that in mind 👍

[merry pebble]

Each type of enchantment does something little bit different 😄 Iolite Is more DPS, Jade Is for crowd controll and bloodstone is for playing as glasscannon

[tacit crystal]

I think it's not cheesey. It's literally what the effect does.

[lament wedge]

Yoo, small question about seeds, i didnt find any seed what i want in the channel, did some one have any Seed with Draugr village near spawn?

[nimble moss]

Draugr village spawn a certain distance from spawn. I can’t remember; maybe 800m? I’m on phone so can’t check. Some spawns might have close; but not many…

[rain flare]

Yeah that is about right

[lament wedge]

important for me is fact the village must be on the same island with spawn

[rain flare]

I can share my world seed with you
Have several draugr villages on my home island

And all the traders 🥰

[lament wedge]

do You have any photo of this village?

i will happy if u can sahre it

[rain flare]

Sadly no
I can share later though if you’d like

[lament wedge]

can u pm me? later?

[rain flare]

At work so can only share in…
Ugh, 6 hours

[rain flare]

Will pm 👍

[vocal rivet]

2000m.

[nimble moss]

Arh ok. Cool.

[vocal rivet]

Which is more than I thought but that's what the code says.

[heady parcel]

Seems right, stumbling on your first Draugr village usually takes a while unless you get "lucky" with a really large starting island and want to run the coast of it before you start doing anything else.

[tacit crystal]

Return them to Hildir.

[heady parcel]

Ticks are eerily good at slaughtering dvergr

Watching the little guys run around in panic with football-sized ticks on them, draining them dry, it's kinda stomach-turning tbh 😄

[tacit crystal]

Put chest on hotbar in your inventory and click the number at Hildir.

Similarly how you put boss summoning items on hotbar.

[elder hearth]

Does the Valheim team have any plans to release on Switch 2 now that the specs are out?

[heady parcel]

I would guess the answer is the same as for PS5 questions - wait for 1.0 and see, maybe after that. While I would guess an eventual PS version after the game is fully released would be logical, more platforms after that is unlikely. But you never know until they've said yay or nay.

[elder hearth]

I hope so, both platforms will no doubt generate massive sales and provide endless funds for Valheim updates/enhancements and new games from the devs.

[heady parcel]

Looking at how some other EA games have done it, the XBox version has taken care of the console side of Early Access, and other platforms followed after full release. But bear in mind that no further platforms have been announced yet.

[gray sand]

If the answer is the same it would be "Nintendo has to make them an offer"

[vernal pebble]

Ps doesn't have valheim?

[heady parcel]

PC and XBox only so far

[vernal pebble]

I started on xbox in 2021 me and my friend were both sick from school

It looked like a funny bad game and now I have 700hrs

[vocal rivet]

How is it a 'funny bad game'?

[vernal pebble]

On xbox the preview pictures look very random and confusing

[opaque belfry]

hey chat

[azure yacht]

By that time the game will be finished so not like it would have any relevance

[tacit crystal]

Maybe the first impression.

[keen sequoia]

Nothing like sailing for 25 minutes to a new swamp for iron. To then forget u moved your portal and never rebuilt it

[vernal pebble]

#screenshots message

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, that picture shows the older version of building menu.

[vernal pebble]

Yes those 2 were the only pics on the store

So it looked weird

[vocal rivet]

Well, that doesn't sell the game well.

[vernal pebble]

Now it has more but those old ones are still there

[opaque belfry]

today i found out what the trollstav does, at my base of course

i lost like at least 40 chickens 😿

[nimble moss]

@dusky pivot

[vocal rivet]

That's not how that works.

[nimble moss]

oh? how does it work?

[vocal rivet]

You have to send it a DM.

[nimble moss]

arh...

ok thanks - i did it via DM. Thanks

[vernal pebble]

[tacit crystal]

Good advice: test new toys outside of your base.

[opaque belfry]

i love learning the hard way!

[keen trench]

very good advice, Trollstav is number 1 nono, but even big AoE hammers should be "tested" with care (i remember a friend "showing" me the might of his new Demolisher next to my poor crops)

[opaque belfry]

i thought it was bad when it was just the meteor strike 😭😭😭😭

those milliseconds felt like hours tbh

[tacit crystal]

Or imagine testing Cheat Sledge inside your base.

[keen trench]

"cheat sledge" 👀 ?

[tacit crystal]

Spawnable by console commands.

Much larger AoE and 10000 99999 blunt and slash damage, chop and pickaxe power.

Edit: checked wiki, corrected.

[keen trench]

uh ok, yeh i could imagine

[fallen sandal]

Does anyone want to play

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 is a good place to find people to play with.

[radiant tree]

I’ve done that. Noticed it using devs, spawned it and, without looking at the specs, whacked the ground to see what it would do. Demolished my castle and surrounding walls. That took some rebuilding!!!!

[merry pebble]

Buckler and iron mace 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Pickaxes.

[steel mica]

exploring the plains biome with nothing but full root armor set and trying to look for stone pillars for your base building is straight up masochism

definitely not me 🙂

[keen trench]

always trapped Golems instead of fighting, too dangerous with mace and i'm unable to hit them with pickaxes without being slammed around (also never developed skills for timing parry for that reason)... then after some Mistlands progression obliterating them is child's play.. still the only trophy i'm missing tho

[agile temple]

some of the enemies look so goofy

like if you showed me the troll and bonemass face i probably wouldn't even buy the game

[nocturne wolf]

Battering ram

[agile temple]

pickaxe

[sinful forum]

Golem trophies ... every Valheim map the same story, it's missing

[steel mica]

wait the battering ram from ashlands can actually kill the stone golems?

[nocturne wolf]

It kills them instantly

[steel mica]

aint no wait

[agile temple]

i gotta leave the chat before i get spoiled more

[keen trench]

well root is a nice choice since the only threat that can outrun you deals pierce, i use Dragon helmet, Root chest and fenris legs for pre-Moder incursions

[steel mica]

still a hassle to bring them to mountains tho

[nocturne wolf]

The question was how to kill stone golems quickly. What's faster than a one-hit kill?

[keen trench]

yup, at 1350ish hours i found my first Fuling Brute trophy, now at 1420 Golem's is the only missing

[sinful forum]

Odin's wrath. But, that's it

[steel mica]

only reason why im even in the plains despite me not even beating bonemass or moder was to get stone from stone pillars and an abundant amount of cloudberries for stamina whilst building

plus most enemies in plains are parryable except *fuling or fuling berserkers

with upgraded iron buckler

[keen trench]

uh ok that's super-daring-early so 😁

[steel mica]

i had past experience in plains so it wasnt to shabby

only the occasional star fuling a hassle

[nocturne wolf]

Just jump over their attacks and hit them on the way down, if they don't have a spear

[agile temple]

Me and my friend were super pissed cause we spent hours grinding enough silver to make both of us entire armour sets... and then 30 minutes later we find out we can just make the next set which is just made out of iron..?

Well we couldn't just make it cause we had to go grind the iron for that but it was entirely within reach and the silver set was totally useless

Massive waste of our time and a cool set

[keen trench]

well in standard game progression you won't have access to the next armor set before beating Mountains, so it makes perfect sense, "mixed" styled progression is totally ok (and could be very fun) but can bring that kind of frustration, in general, it's always a good idea to check and double check crafting tables' lists as you progress and unlock materials

and yes, Wolf armor looks very badass, so partially worth it anyway

[merry pebble]

Make the thing with her drop and go to plains 😄

Look into your craft menu 😉

[keen trench]

look again once you crafted it, lots of huge news 😁

[tacit crystal]

Keep an eye on new recipes you unlock.

[tiny tiger]

Hmm I’m guessing the new armor is morgen armor but at the same time I feel like Ashland’s has enough armors right

Or maybe to do with growths in plains?

[merry pebble]

we will see 🙂

[keen trench]

yup, same thoughts, but i still have to go to ashlands

[tiny tiger]

Logically it makes sense to fill the missing second armor set for plains

[merry pebble]

There has already been extensive discusions on that xD

[keen trench]

so it would be good news either way

[tacit crystal]

The pauldron skull has teeth and looks like it has snout, not beak. I think it's some canine skull.

[tiny tiger]

The color design is black and boney which gives me growth vibes but i don’t think ever seen any skull decoration near them

[merry pebble]

The bones remind me more of a asksvin skeletons tho

[tiny tiger]

Would be an interesting crafting recipe for sure if it used those pieces

[keen trench]

well if it's Plains good > missing light armour alternative, if it's Ashlands good > i love light armour and that looks totally the lightest of all to me, probably going for it as i progress

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands already has more armor than any other biome

[long peak]

Hi guys i had a idea to making Some Armor Sets more interesting

what if when you equip "whole" Troll Leather armor sets it gives a little frost resistance just for protecting against freeze debuff and Troll armor have color variation

And a interesting one is what if when we are wet while using whole Root armor set we get Extra Armor points until Wet Debuff dissapear

[keen trench]

(and no one said it would be either Plains or Ashlands anyway, so we'll see always best guess)

[long peak]

do you think its worth to write down to suggestion or its a bad idea ?

[tiny tiger]

I mean if root armor was teased before release without a biome you wouldn’t guess meadows or mountain lol

[jaunty turtle]

I have discovered that brewing mead in Valheim is a lot easier than in real life

[long peak]

However you want ofcourse as a building lover i like to make small buildings for Kitchen and Storage and usualy put smelters outside

there is no should or must and if you are worryed about a lot of chest you can use colored signs it so helpfull

[jaunty turtle]

make a big chest house, or multiple small chest houses for each specific crafting station

[tacit crystal]

You could organize them, using signs to name the resources help with that.

[jaunty turtle]

The more items you have, the bigger the warehouse you need

[keen trench]

many options are viable, it depends on your preference, i usually need a dozen chests near crafting area, maybe with two or three materials each, to have decently comfortable acces, then use a separate building or storage area for big stocks.

[long peak]

i ussualy made a giant hall like structure on early game just for storage but i have lots of free time

[tacit crystal]

My preference is big (mead)hall for main building, with side corners/rooms for crafting, possibly a basement too for extra things like storage etc.

Also big enough hall for all trophies and higher tier fish I gather plus decorative armor stands.

[keen trench]

ah right it's months that i want to make a dedicated fishing building with top catches for each type, i got a lousy one i want to scrap... still procrastinating

yeh, longship depth clearance (i'm sure it has a specific nautical term sry) is quite shallow, i think the same of Karve

[tacit crystal]

I just found a perfect spot for a possible fishing hut/outpost. It has dvergr dock without the black marble building so I get to plan one on that spot.

[long peak]

Thats such a great idea i think i am going to make a "friendly" visit to my dverger friends with dock

[heady parcel]

The correct term is draught (or draft for barbaric colonists across the pond).

[keen trench]

oh right thanks 😁 i knew just the Italian one (wich rougly transalates to "fishage")

[tacit crystal]

Heh, funny. Something... happened to them dvergr in that spot.

[heady parcel]

They had a string of unfortunate accidents I guess...

[long peak]

How Unfortunate so sad very sad

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, only a voice of thunder was heard on that spot...

[heady parcel]

Yeah, a literal translation of the Swedish term would be something like depth-walking...

Speaking of dvergr, the ones in Ashlands are among the stupidest npc:s I have come across in any game. I hope they learn to avoid environmental hazards some day...

[long peak]

hahahahah don't go hard on our dverger friends :d

[lethal spire]

Any consensus on what type this new armor will be? It looks like a bird’s skull, but too small to be from a valkyrie, right? Could it be from a voulture? Also, another armor for Ashlands? Such a harsh place and you’re exposing your chest? I get it’s because of the heat, but it seemed kind of strange.

[tacit crystal]

For me it looks more like canine skull: it has teeth and 2 sharper front teeth also, which can be mistaken as beak. The set might require just bone fragments despite how it looks (according to how Spinesnap looks while requiring bone fragments). I understand why some might think it would require Ashlands bones/asksvin skeleton parts but it could also be Plains tier armor.

[azure yacht]

yes, the universal consensus (yes, literally what the entire community thinks therefore it's 100% a fact and will be the case even if devs themselves are the only one's opinion that actually matters) is that it will be... ||implemented before DN||

[heady parcel]

Whatever it is, I'm not crazy about the style - especially being unclothed besides some bones - so I doubt I will ever craft it tbh. To each their own, I'm sure there are lots who think it looks cool though.

[azure yacht]

it doesn't make any sense that it will be an ashlands armor btw

[lethal spire]

What creature do you think that skull belongs to? Could there be a new mob coming?

[slow leaf]

Same, unless its a very early armor like meadows tier..

[nocturne wolf]

Meadows already has two armor sets

What unique effects might it have? We know already that it will have a set bonus

[keen trench]

actually doesn't really look like any existing creature's skull. imo the best guess is "canine", because teeth etc... still a wolf's skull look very different irl

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe we'll see that kind of skull in a new, stronger tar enemy, or as a new decoration around tar pits

[merry pebble]

Doesent really have a snout tho, which still leads me to believe it is some kind of beak 🤔

[keen trench]

maybe fenris/cultist? they're canine but anthropomorphic, could explain the very spherical braincase

[nocturne wolf]

They already have an armor set though

[merry pebble]

Their trophy might be used in it tho, even if they already have a set

I dont really think its likely but possible at least

[light moat]

Maybe a Fenring skull? 🤔 not necessarily from the cultist side of things

[keen trench]

yeh that was my first look as well, but i kinda see some sort of snout right under the leather strap, and what seemed to me a beak spike could also be a left canine... uhm ... really dunno actually 😁

[light moat]

My predictions are wrong like 100% of the time

[keen trench]

ok, i'll sign up for Fenrig/Cultist prediction, but just for fun

[merry pebble]

Still, doesent look like a canine skull to me 🤔 the large presumed "tooth" is at the frontmost spot on the skull, canines to usually have smaller teeth at the front and the large teeth for tearing flesh behind them.

[lethal spire]

Wouldn't that armor leave the body too exposed to the cold?

[light moat]

We don’t know if it has any frost resistance, do we?

[keen trench]

yeh, canine skull is total different shape indeed, and also bear, if anyone yet theorized about that eheh

[light moat]

Wouldn’t be too unusual if it was a plains-tier set but required one component from the mountains, I think

[merry pebble]

Also the eye position and the dome shape feels really bird like
-# tho now that i am looking at some bird skulls they usually have very large eyes which do not fit for the armor, and fallen valkyries also have them

[lethal spire]

In this case, I agree 🙂

[timid sun]

New uncommon tar pit bird monster plz.

[merry pebble]

That would be cool 😄 tho we already have flying enemies in plains, maybe some kind of ostrich-like thing?

[keen trench]

yeh, first glance was 100% valkirye, but, single beak no spikes, bigger eyes and also much more sideswept, those seem to face a lot forward... still got my in-game coin bet on dog snout with human eye/braincase

[timid sun]

Imagine walking towards a tar pit, no growths in sight, only for a big tar covered bird to explode out of it once you get close enough. I'd cry but it would be very cool 😄

[azure yacht]

Growths grow wings

[heady parcel]

Could be some aquatic creature, assuming they're putting some effort in to make oceans more interesting at the same time

[merry pebble]

Hmm, some sort of aquatic avian? That could indeed be interesting.

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm.....

Like the Tremors in the movie sequel, but then the Valheim Edition??

[deft cargo]

#memes-and-clips message

Im confused, how did that parry work?

[merry pebble]

Bubble shield 🙂

[vernal pebble]

Idk if I should spawn jotuns sword in my world its kinda cheating but it would look perfect

[merry pebble]

It is a singleplayer game 😄 do whatever you want

[nocturne wolf]

You take 0 damage with the shield active so attacks cannot stagger you

[deft cargo]

Oh I see, thanks

[tacit crystal]

Protection bubble is the most OP defensive layers in game. You can parry any attack while it's on.

[nocturne wolf]

Any blockable attack*

[tacit crystal]

You can parry any blockable attack while it's on.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

[nocturne wolf]

There's still no way to parry trees

[empty coyote]

are there any unblockable attacks?

[heady parcel]

Some AoE attacks

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but mostly AOEs

The greydwarf shaman attack isn't AoE but also not blockable

[empty coyote]

Oh

[heady parcel]

Oh it isn't? Always assumed if two guys managed to get hit by its vomit both would take damage. Really tiny area tho so yeah, doesn't really matter.

[nocturne wolf]

They would both take damage. A single attack can damage multiple enemies without being AoE.

[timid sun]

The green Kamehameha

[tacit crystal]

Hoeing.

And pickaxe for help.

[empty coyote]

i try to find an already slightly flat area to speed up the process but it still sucks 😭

[heady parcel]

Have you learned to use the Shift+click variant with the hoe?

Also, the Hildir gear and stamina foods really help when doing big terraforming

It aligns to the place where you have your cursor, instead of your feet, makes it easier to be consistent and to make soft slopes. Takes some practice, but it works.

[timid sun]

When starting out terraforming was something I wasn't a big fan of so I tried to avoid it as much as possible. After a few projects where I forced myself to do some interesting and more complex shaping I've become a lot more comfortable with it and don't really mind it at all anymore 🙂

[lime wasp]

does the workbench range increase when you add more upgrades to it??

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[timid sun]

I think it increases something like 4m for every upgrade

[merry pebble]

4 for workbench and 3 for forge 🙂

[heady parcel]

Finally found some fiddleheads. They can't be planted, right?

[merry pebble]

No they cant

[timid sun]

No

[heady parcel]

Bugger

[merry pebble]

But they regrow 🙂

[heady parcel]

Ugh, not keen on revisiting that place. Two morgens and a constant stream of charred...

[timid sun]

Anywhere you find those broken down buildings you'll typically find fiddleheads inside

[heady parcel]

Searched many ruins, so far this is the first one that had them. And the only ones with vine ivy were out in the ocean, but I managed to pick enough to get seeds at least

[lime wasp]

thank you, good to know!

[tacit crystal]

Dvergr buildings usually have huge amounts of fiddleheads.

And some specific ruins.

[charred otter]

How do feasts work and what food combo do I go for, for early plains tier?
Also I saw popups for existing stuff I had (like poison potion) does that mean I can somehow craft it without the mead (so skipping fermentation) or is it just a bug or smthing?

[merry pebble]

Feast + stam + health or feast + stam + stami would suggest 🙂

[timid sun]

If you just made/equipped a serving tray it's just updating you with the new things that you can place with it

[merry pebble]

And the pop ups were to let you know you can place them with the tray 😄

[heady parcel]

I don't think I have come across any dvergr buildings yet, at least not any with dvergr around them...

[merry pebble]

You will know what they are once you come across them 😄

[heady parcel]

Managed to cage in a one-star asksvin now, but that seems to have sent out a signal to every lava blob in the southern half of Valheims, there's just a constant barrage of them. They've pulverised the pen walls, but thankfully the overgrown neck has not died or escaped

[tacit crystal]

They have a ward inside plus boxes, like their Mistlands counterparts. They are surrounded by spikes.

[timid sun]

Necks that have sipped on the sacred juice, berserkir mead.

[nocturne wolf]

Neck ancestors

[merry pebble]

Very old Necks 😄

[charred otter]

Double stam seems like a bad idea, I feel like I need more health but maybe that's bcz I run out of stam and then get hit

[tacit crystal]

Feast feast stamina then?

[vernal pebble]

Does anyone use feasts? They're very cool decoration but I never use them

[charred otter]

I could but then I'd need fish a ton of fish, and I don't have many serpent meat (only 14)

[tacit crystal]

I use them regularly, usually 2 feasts. They save 2 item slots from inventory.

[vernal pebble]

I have no idea how long I'll be outside for

[empty coyote]

how do you unlock feasts? i saw a mention of it somewhere but im not sure if im at that point of the game yet

[charred otter]

swamp trader

[tacit crystal]

You need to find the Bog witch.

[empty coyote]

ah okay

there are 3 traders right? what biomes are the other ones in

[tacit crystal]

Meadows and black forest.

[empty coyote]

thank you

[tacit crystal]

Usually the meadows and swamp traders are easier to find since their spawn points are in certain distance from the center, while black forest trader can be found in much wider area.

[charred otter]

For me it was the opposite, found haldor by chance (same with Hildir) but bog witch I had to cheat after like 5+ hours of searching (and the locations were super far, would've taken me ages to find)

[tacit crystal]

Well, I stated usually. Depending on the seed the spawn points of Haldor can be found rather close, in some cases very close to Elder altar.

[charred otter]

Elder for me was really far, I think that's how I found haldor, on my way there

[vernal pebble]

When I don't know what to do anymore I'll deforest every single forest until I find haldor

Does fire spread work on trees I never tried putting it on

[tacit crystal]

If you enable the fire hazard from world modifiers the fires from different sources will catch on wood and make them fall.

[vernal pebble]

Maybe I'll do that if its faster

[tacit crystal]

The fires can turn destroyed trees into coal too.

It depends if the fires damage them until their hp goes down or the player.

[charred otter]

How do I put food on a serving tray and then how do I consume it? and can I prepare 2 trays so I can feast immediately once the first feast is over?

[tacit crystal]

You use the tray like hammer and place the food item with it.

[gray sand]

Nothing goes on the tray.
The tray is the tool.

[merry pebble]

As Joelkkii said, you can them eat the placed feast 🙂

[vapid hearth]

#screenshots message
I wish that stonehenge structure had a vegisvir, I've been trying to hunt down Yagluth for ages now. Maybe I should head over to one of the sealed towers

[merry pebble]

Just to be sure, you might know, but those do not have vegvisirs 😄 (But maybe you will find either vegvisir or the altar on the way there 😄 )

[vapid hearth]

Ahaha, hopefully
Either that or I'll find a portion of mist-free mistlands to get my hands on some coveted black marble and jotun puffs so I can start making salads and misthare supremes so I can better tackle the mobs there on my Quest For Yagluth

[heady parcel]

Aright thanks, definitely not seen one of those yet. Not any dungeons either, there's supposed to be some kind of cave/den I know, but still no luck.

[tacit crystal]

Those dungeons are surrounded by skeletons and have certain looking high stones around too.

[celest acorn]

@near furnace my art teacher says I need permission to make a landscape from valheim’s plains biome, can you confirm it’s okay?

[carmine sapphire]

does anyone else ever wish fists/unarmed had better dmg scaling?

Like I wish fighting unarmed was viable throught

[quasi latch]

Have you made ||flesh rippers|| yet?

[nocturne wolf]

Flesh rippers backstab secondary is the highest possible stagger you can deal in a single hit, I would love to see what an even stronger fist weapon is capable of

[carmine sapphire]

no but I know about them

[carmine sapphire]

thats why I said "throught"

like, before and after that one item

[merry pebble]

I mean, there is only one weapon for fists, there is pretty hard limit on how viable they can be

[carmine sapphire]

I mean specifically weaponless unarmed

[merry pebble]

Ah, then that makes even less sense really with how upping your dmg works in the game

[charred otter]

Oh I need to put items first, I thought I'd first place then put items like a container, thx both of u

[prime moth]

found 6 crypts all next to each other, got like 300 iron wahooooo

[carmine sapphire]

sometimes an entire biome has no crypts
sometimes a small one has 5

[charred otter]

Do I put on the tray just the feast or everything I want to consume (like pots/normal food) and does it make the normal food last longer or smthing?

[merry pebble]

Only feasts you can consume after placing them i think, but not 100% sure

[nocturne wolf]

Items consumed after being placed by the tray work exactly as they would normally, but feasts can only be consumed if placed by the tray.

[charred otter]

Ah I see, so any point putting other items for saving slots? and if it can't carry more than 1 then I should probably just carry the food separately?

[timid sun]

I've been going all in with 3 feasts to save up inventory space. Maybe not something that would work well for everyone but I love them 😄

[tacit crystal]

Decorations too.

[charred otter]

U use it to smelt certain stuff like || black metal ||

U can't use other mats on it (I tried)

[nocturne wolf]

It won't smelt earlier metals

[timid sun]

Even better, it doesn't work ;-;

[charred otter]

Wasted opportunity, should've smelted them faster, it's the logical thing most players would expect

[timid sun]

Most new players I've run with all assume they would, I'm always having to give them the bad news 😦

[charred otter]

Yep, they should just make it a thing to avoid confusion

[pliant hatch]

They may not do that, because they should. If Valheim is doing one thing right, it is by not following the same path that's been treaded so much it's become a ditch most of the other games are doing.

[charred otter]

Ok fishing is so boring I ain't doing that just for another feast, I'd just go HSF for food

[pliant hatch]

You will need fishing later when you want a certain plains food.
Not to mention there's a very good Mistland Food requiring it too.

[charred otter]

Which plains food?

[pliant hatch]

Fishwraps

[timid sun]

To be fair, you don't need those things but you might want them as they are good.

[ember panther]

Fish wraps are easy at least you can make em out of any fish. The breaded fish is a pain to make

[charred otter]

Serpent stew is better tho (but ig serpents might be harder than fishwraps?)

[timid sun]

I know people might disagree but when we got a new use for trollfish I was kinda hoping the rest of the fish would get some love too with their own recipes for stuff 👉 👈

[timid sun]

I think that largely depends on your playstyle. I personally sail a ton so I often end up with a ton of serpent meat clogging up space. But I understand that a lot of people might not enjoy sailing/exploration as much as I do so it might be harder to come by. That said I really only eat the best foods for boss fights then the rest of the time I'm using whatever is easiest for me to stock up on

[rain flare]

Well, we have a use for pike, trollfish, anglers and plains fishies, so I’m sure there will be a use for the others

[charred otter]

I killed one today and got 14 meat, should last me for 7h of continiously using em, so I can save them for plains only

[merry epoch]

Really enjoying the game again for once, last few playthroughs i barely knew what i was doing but with yalls help ive really been having fun

[timid sun]

Are you making stew with them or just eating the cooked meat? Both are good options, just curious 🙂

[charred otter]

Calculating if I make stew with all of them cuz it's better, especially now that I have a feast and will do Hearty mountain + serpent stew + eyescream
If I didn't have hearty mountain I'd do HHS with both + eyscream

[charred otter]

What happens when I have both "weak against" and "resistant against" for the same thing? do they cancel out? also how much is the actual increase/decrease in damage for these things?

[merry pebble]

The resistance takes preference 🙂

[azure yacht]

strongest resistance level overrides the previous

[charred otter]

So bonemass + berserkir is basically free? and is weak a 20% increased dmg from that source and resistant is 20% decrease or how does that work?

[merry pebble]

Yep, you will have the benefits of both 🙂

[azure yacht]

Very Resistant > resistant > very weak > weak > neutral

[charred otter]

Makes sense thx but what's the % of these in terms of damage increased/decreased? if it's something that is known

[azure yacht]

0.25x: very resistant (25%)

0.5x: resistant (50%)

2.0x: very weak (200%)

1.5x: weak (150%)

1.0x: neutral (100%)

damage multiplier

[charred otter]

Oh dang so that's 50% more/less so makes a huge diff

[quasi latch]

Don't forget resistant vs. very resistant

50% vs. 75%

Oh my bad, didn't see the top line item

[thorny ingot]

An RNG Saga: Take out 7-8 infested mines. Enough seal breaker pieces to build three. Went from a single set of five black cores to play the "Mistlands crafting shuffle" to enough to build black forges in several outposts. But in all of those mines, no vegviser stone! Went back to a couple to see if I just wasn't paying attention.
Resign myself to hunting for more mines when this latest one finally has a stone! The Queen is pretty far away. Then in the same mine, I find another stone.
Instead of thin, emaciated Odin in robes spying on you, I'm imagining big burley Odin of theJack Kirby Marvel comics laughing uproariously at me for this fortune.

[vapid hearth]

On the one hand, the Yagluth runestone hunt's been kicking my ass
But on the other hand, it's mighty tempting venturing into the Mistlands pre-Yagluth so I can get my hands on some sweet magic stuff (even got the black metal scraps ready for refinement) to more easily raid goblin villages

[autumn flax]

What item does tend to fill up your chests if you decide to hoard it?

[thorny ingot]

Do it!
During my hunt for his runestone, I found some clear mistlands including an dvrger tower and nearby roots. I had both a magecap/puff and sap farm established before fighting him.

[vapid hearth]

Excellent!
Still trying to find a clear mistland. When I ventured in, I found a gjall and a seeker, so I was trying to run away, and it was such a struggle. Fortunately the gjall and the seeker didn't zero in on me, otherwise I would've been done for (the seeker on its own would've been fine to handle, but backed by a gjall? And its terrifying tick flunkies? In the mistlands' titular mist? That would've been a death sentence)

[thorny ingot]

Yeah, I won't go into the Mistlands where there's mist, pre wisp torches. But on the map, if you see Mistlnds in black; it means there's no mist. I had a pretty long abutting corridor of plains abutting Mistlands.
Also, few shows are as fun as Mistland mobs vs. Plains mobs.

[vapid hearth]

That is indeed very true
My hunt for a good base spot in the Mistland shall continue

...jeez, this whole mistlands area is blocked off by mist
Gonna need to probably find a new island
Maybe even run this seed through the map website, at which point I'd be miffed if it turns out either the yagluth runestone or the arena were right under my nose the entire time

[ember panther]

Id love a neon tetra recipe

Thx

[tulip urchin]

Has there been any news about the release date of Deepnorth or not yet?

[tacit crystal]

No release date.

[quasi latch]

Most recent post is in #news , that's the most we have

[tulip urchin]

Ok

[tacit crystal]

But it is confirmed we get smaller update before that which focus on combat, one thing mentioned is slope fighting fixes/improvements.

[opaque sundial]

Are there any games like this, but free?

[nimble moss]

nothing as good as this

[tacit crystal]

You could wait for summer sale, when Valheim is usually 50% off nowadays.

[opaque sundial]

I already have the game, and it's boring solo imo. I have no money for another game.

[tacit crystal]

Ah, I remember now the last conversation. Didn't remember you, mb.

[opaque sundial]

Lol, I don't expect you to remember a rando. It's all good.

Every private server I see is modded, and I have no interest in them.

[grizzled dove]

Who is the admin in this channel??

@surreal bridge I have someone from this group who I believe is a scammer

They reached out to me offering modding services

[hearty hatch]

dude

i was fighting the Elder and all of a sudden a 2 star troll showed up

like when do you even encounter a 2 star monster

ESPECIALLY DURING A BOSS FIGHT!

[vocal rivet]

Just RNG and not spawn protecting your boss fight.

[hearty hatch]

i managed to kill both without dying though

[nimble moss]

Starred trolls can spawn 800m(?) from the start, or there is a theory they can also spawn outside a cave with stars even closer (TBC - I havent looked into it enough)

[fickle sequoia]

full master

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls need to be more than 2000m from world centre to spawn with stars

[nimble moss]

arh 2000m - ok.

But the theory is the forced "spawner" of the external troll cave is bypassing this - but I havent checked enough to be sure

[hearty hatch]

yeah the arena was so far away from spawn

[nimble moss]

actually - 100% confirmed - you can have starred trolls anywhere that are the "external" cave spawns - they dont follow the 2000m rule

[carmine sapphire]

deer stew is kinda underwhelming isnt it

I'm doing HSS so as my only health food its a pretty meager upgrade over deer meat

[rose parcel]

how long will it take for the enemies to stop swarming my portal? theres no way i can fight 2 ||seekers|| at once

[celest acorn]

FINALY!!!

[keen zenith]

hey

I got a love potion from the witch in the swamp what does it do?

[quasi latch]

2x troll spawn chance in the relevant biomes

[keen zenith]

Come on, man, I thought we were gonna tame trolls I got excited! 😄

[quasi latch]

Sorry, no, it's 5x chance + a chance for 2 trolls to spawn.

[keen zenith]

But I don’t get why this even exists is it for fish bait or for coins?

[nimble moss]

and higher chance of those spawns to be starred

[nimble moss]

to spawn trolls - which can be useful for resource collection

and/or for the devs to "troll" you as an item

[keen zenith]

After two years, I’ve started playing the game again, and so much has changed.

[deft ember]

Is there a list of upcoming changes or updates the devs are working on?
I know deep north is next but do we know more?
Also, will the game continue to get updates after it is out of early access?

[nimble moss]

we know they plan a 1.1 update, but sounds like fixes and stuff. They imply no new "content" after 1.0, but I cant recall the exact defintion of what that meant. Deep north is the last major new content release

everything we know is from #news generally

[deft ember]

Damn, i wished they kept updating it and getting more biomes but where would they fit them in the map anyway 😅

[vocal rivet]

Nine was all that was ever planned. That is not going to change. Games end, this is a good thing.

[undone turret]

what structures have finewood in the ashlands? a blob vaporized my portal and now I can't leave

[deft ember]

Tbh, that is more than enough content

I have like 220 hours already and i am still not done with Ashlands yet
I can go up to 350 hours with the deep north too which is amazing

I can still do a hardcore playthrough or mods next

[vocal rivet]

Oh, people have thousands in the game so far. There's so much left to do if you're willing/interested.

[thorny ingot]

Go explore some putrid holes for molten cores!

[undone turret]

yeah but then I need iron too

for the stonecutter

[thorny ingot]

You may find iron there as well.

[undone turret]

after 20 hours playing ashlands I found a single bar of silver there lol

it says on the wiki it has finewood, do you know what structure?

[nimble moss]

The Dverger buildings have small amounts in the crates. I.e. the crates destroy into finewood.

[deft ember]

Been there lol
It took me some time to realize that fine wood burns which is a sad realization 💀

I think it will be hard to get 20 fine wood from Ashlands

[thorny ingot]

Smash open clay pots in ruins as well as putrid holes.

[undone turret]

ah nice that should work

[undone turret]

my mistlands hammer hasn't left me even with ashlands gear, I always clean the caves with it

[thorny ingot]

Good call on using the Demolisher. I use pickaxe instead since I use that in Ashlands too. Be sure to use the Demolisher on charred fortress tops as well. Like over 20 smashes.

[undone turret]

for the copper right

[thorny ingot]

No...bronze!

[undone turret]

that's the one

[thorny ingot]

Yeah, as uncomfortable as it is not havinga portal, I can't think of what else (besides dvergr crates) that has fine wood.

Oh! Tear down your drakkar.

[undone turret]

it's a little far but a better bet, will work

[thorny ingot]

Although that will attact attention 😦

[undone turret]

managed to make shelter on lord reto's tomb

10 minute rested should do

[thorny ingot]

Nice!

[edgy kite]

whats the "vanilla" way to delete items

since there is no trash icon

[nimble moss]

Obliterator

[vocal rivet]

Or ditch them in the ocean. Or leave them away from your base for a couple of days.

[tiny bone]

What are the chances that me and my girlfriend get the same dream in a night of Valheim?

[quasi latch]

Edit: the following is incorrect
First, the chance of a dream is 1 in 2, so 1 in 4 chance that you both get a dream at once

The number of possible dreams changes over the course of the game, but the chance of you two getting the same dream is 1 ÷ #dreams

So the chance of you two falling asleep and getting the same dream is 1 in (4 x number of possible dreams)

[vocal rivet]

Not all dreams have the same chance of appearing.

[quasi latch]

Wait shit, I just realized that lol

[tiny bone]

We got the dream about the mighty bear

[gray sand]

She chose the bear over you didn't she?

[dire garnet]

I did not

[quasi latch]

Okay, redoing the calculations. What bosses do you have defeated?

[vocal rivet]

Still, that's a 0.000625% chance (or more). Pretty rare.

[tiny bone]

None unfortunately

[quasi latch]

That simplifies things greatly, actually 😄

[dire garnet]

Thank you for doing the math for us

[nimble moss]

the odds might be alot better if it is a random number issue though - if both clients loaded a new zone, that seeds the seed of the RNG during the process, and so both clients "randomly" selected the same dream.

Its a possibility

[quasi latch]

For the sake of the sunk cost fallacy, I'm going to fucking ignore that LET ME MATH ||/teasing||

[vocal rivet]

Is there an issue?

[quasi latch]

Okay:
Chance that both of you get the same dream: 18 available dreams before any bosses get the nope sauce, so 1/18
Chance that the dream roll succeeds: 17 dreams have 50% and 1 has 10%, which averages to ~22.83% for 2 rolls
Total chance: 1.27%

[nimble moss]

issue is probably wrong word - but Valhiem is constantly seeding the Unity random number generator, so 2x clients in close proximtry doing the same thing could have triggered it, and resulted in this scanario.

It more than a 0% chance 🙂

But not a "bug"

[vocal rivet]

That's WAY more than I calculated.

20 dreams available at the start of the game all equally weighted. There's a 1/20 chance of a particular dream being selected. Then theres a 50% chance of the dream actually happening. So now we're at 1/400. Then there's the chance of that happening to two people at the same time and we reach 1/160,000 or 0.000625%

[nimble moss]

isnt it 50% chance of dream = 1 in 40 chance for a dream any given night, not 1 in 400?

[vocal rivet]

No, the dream is chosen first then there's a chance of it happening or not.

[nimble moss]

right - so its 50% chance of a dream when I sleep - which means 1 in 2 chance. So 1 in 2 chance of any dream appearing?

[quasi latch]

The 1/20 is included twice in your calculation, which is incorrect. The chance of a dream being identical given the first roll is 1/20

[vocal rivet]

Where is that 50% chance of a dream coming from?

[quasi latch]

You can test this empirically with 2 dice. The chance of them being the same number is the same as the number of faces

Wait, why did I include the 1 in 4? Sorry, must be tired lol

[nimble moss]

I misread wiki that said "50% chance"

But the wiki says " player will have a 38.33% chance to see a dream on average."

[vocal rivet]

That's assuming all dreams are available.

[nimble moss]

so then its birthday paradox for the other player to see same dream?

[quasi latch]

With no bosses dead, I count 18 available dreams.

[vocal rivet]

Eh, it's 20 but that's hardly going to change the numbers much.

[quasi latch]

Yes. Therefore, the roll for which dream is chosen should be multiplied in only once.

[vocal rivet]

That's a fair point. So we're back to 1/400.

Having said that, it IS 4am.

[nimble moss]

its not 1/400 chance for a dream to occur though?

400 days = 1 dream statisically on average?

[vocal rivet]

O_o

Eh? No, but we're not calculating that.

[nimble moss]

You are but: "20 dreams available at the start of the game all equally weighted. There's a 1/20 chance of a particular dream being selected. Then theres a 50% chance of the dream actually happening. So now we're at 1/400. "

Edit : ok - I see the confusion

[quasi latch]

1/80. 1/20 for same dream, just under 1/2 for dream 1 to happen, just under 1/2 for dream 2 to happen

[nimble moss]

ok - so you are talking about a specific dream - but it could be ANY of them, then its a specific

[quasi latch]

Going off of this

[vocal rivet]

Of course, the bear dream. That's what started the whole conversation.

[nimble moss]

ok - I was going off "What are the chances that me and my girlfriend get the same dream in a night of Valheim?"

[quasi latch]

All right, let's run both calculations in parallel then.

[nimble moss]

slightly different version - I see the confusion

[vocal rivet]

In their situation that's exactly the same.

[quasi latch]

Except it's not due to there being 20 different ways to achieve your 1/400 chance in the case of the specific dream not mattering as long as they're the same.

[nimble moss]

all good - I think everyone was approaching the question in different ways due to multiple versions of the question existing...

[quasi latch]

0.077% for boar specifically, 1.313% for any dream as long as they're identical

Boar specifically is (1 in 18 chance for 1 person selecting boar) ^ 2 * (1 in 2 chance for 1 person's dream roll succeeding) ^ 2

@tiny bone Okay, we should be good now lmao

[dire garnet]

Thank you guys lol

[quasi latch]

10:30 pm stats ftw

[vocal rivet]

10:30pm stats slightly beat 4:30am stats.

[quasi latch]

[vocal rivet]

I won't mention that one of those initial dreams has a 10% chance not a 50% chance (as it's the first boss one).

[quasi latch]

My calculations accounted for that

Wait nope, fucked up the weighted average
