[shy marlin]

That’s also my go to strat

[heady parcel]

Assuming you are stacking several on top and next to each other to make a "storage wall".

[tacit crystal]

FPS says thank you.

[heady parcel]

Too messy, plus it hits performance bigtime if you don't have a monster rig

[shy marlin]

I throw everything on the ground until it’s time to craft stuff fight me

[shy marlin]

I have a 5080 now I’m fine

[heady parcel]

Well then, if the mess doesn't bother you, rock on!

[gray sand]

Imagine not having a Smiffe-level monstrous abomination unicorn rig 😏

[heady parcel]

Me, I like my base tidy so I stash stuff away. My rig can handle crap lying around, but I just don't like it.

[charred otter]

I have organized chests so I know where to search when I need stuff, unlike Minecraft that are way less items so it's easier to keep stuff organized

[heady parcel]

Ashlands question: ||Volture eggs, are they only found in those nests on the ground? So a pretty limited resource?||

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes ||Voltures drop them too||.

[heady parcel]

Ah right, thank you. I quickly ran out once I started making the pie, so I've figured the pie is only for the truly important excursions.

[tacit crystal]

You can find lots of ||nests|| tho.

[heady parcel]

Not in my Ashlands it seems, it has mostly just hordes of enemies but little in the way of resources. I have located a dungeon though at last, gonna try and get to it now. But very few nests so far, and only one ruin with fiddleheads and it was a looong way out from my base.

[tacit crystal]

I have likely searched the most of the Ashlands in my world and I have chest full of them ||crust pies|| and another chest full of ||them eggs|| and some surplus in another chest.

[heady parcel]

I've been roaming my Ashlands more lately, yet I have still not come across any ||dvergr ruins or a fortress. ||Only found the first dungeon yesterday. Starting to think I landed in the worst possible place. Non stop fighting, few rewards...

[lyric mural]

Hi are there any servers to join? new player looking for people to play with

[heady parcel]

Check in the dedicated channel #1024264966712340510

[tacit crystal]

Curious, can you share a screenshot of your map (from Ashlands)?

[heady parcel]

Hahaha I just checked the map, and I truly thought I had done a lot more travelling than I had. I've barely scratched the biome really, just need to push further. But dang it's such a fight to get anywhere, and since I haven't unlocked the stone portal yet I am kinda shorebound.

Map screeny #screenshots message

All deaths from my first flametal mining attempt

[tacit crystal]

Heh, you need to dive further, barely scrathed the area.

[heady parcel]

Yeah that's obvious, but dang just getting this far has been non stop fighting

[tacit crystal]

I assume you have your gear on as top tier as possible?

[heady parcel]

Fully upgraded mistwalker, flametal shield, Asksvin suit. Don't have enough flametal for the flametal armour yet

Ashlands weapons seem very underwhelming so far, so haven't crafted any except Slayer but that one I only use when slumming in other biomes

[tacit crystal]

Once you get further the gear options will get better too. But one tip for surviving: ||Root Harnesk|| fares still well there.

Any AoE option could also help against swarms, like Himminafl or Demolisher.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I know, but I never liked depending on that one and the set bonus from ||the Asksvin suit|| is very nice.

[tacit crystal]

Mage playstyle can also help if you're comfortable with that option.

[heady parcel]

I carry Himminafl, it is my oh-shit tool to get away when I get swarmed. Still haven't died to mobs, so it is working. But yeah I am probably being TOO cautious

[tacit crystal]

Yea, there are also situations where you can just run through.

Or let bigger mobs deal friendly fire against others.

[heady parcel]

Magic is not for true vikings, I did craft the Mistlands staves and experiment with them, but the skills are like 5 or so

[tacit crystal]

Mageplay is quite OP even with zero skills. But yeah I also prefer up & close style.

[heady parcel]

I'm the kind of player who was smacking kobolds with my staff when playing mage in WoW. Absolutely shite at playing the magic style...

[tacit crystal]

Well, in this game you cannot even hit with your staves lol.

[heady parcel]

Maybe that's why I didn't like it haha

[tacit crystal]

"Cannot bonk with magic stick = bad."

[vernal pebble]

Magic don't make cool parry sound

[heady parcel]

Hahah ffs I was pushed back again. Almost made it to the dungeon entrance when about 10 charred, one morgen, two voltures, two one-star askvins and a couple of blobs all came at me at once. All I could to was run back to base and pick them all off with the bow, so now it's night again. Assault called off. Again. 😄

On the upside, the blobs blew up the last remnants of the cliff near my base, so now I have unrestricted view all around a few hundred yards

[carmine sapphire]

am I understanding it correctly that lvl 100 bows gives you more than 12x the dps of lvl 1 bows?

[charred gale]

i just went ahead and dropped that down to 1% i wasnt dealing with that goofy mechanic

[tacit crystal]

Huge difference in draw speed when you have more skill level. Don't know the exact number difference.

[carmine sapphire]

I heard its 80% reduced draw time. So in the same timespan, you shoot 5x the arrows (With more or less the same stamina usage, since its stamina/second spent drawing)
And also 2.41x the raw dmg per hit
Combined thats 5*2.41 = 12.05x the dps as I understand it
(Plus 33% reduced stamina usage, so you can shoot arrows for longer before running out of stamina)

this doesnt account for time spent aiming of course

just seems like A LOT
like the worst bow in the game does 22 damage (At quality 1)
And the best bow does 94 (At quality 4)
Thats less than 5x, and the bow skill is more than double that

[tacit crystal]

I don't know all the numbers, I just play the game.

[carmine sapphire]

yeah, I dont really know for sure either
Just surprising since I've heard it over and over again that "skills levels dont make a difference" when people complain about the death penalty

wasnt expecting such a huge difference

[tacit crystal]

In most skills it doesn't, but bows is one of the few exceptions.

[carmine sapphire]

so dying as an archer is more punishing than if you main melee?

[tacit crystal]

Depends also how many skills are leveled higher, usually then it's more punishing.

5 levels isn't that huge difference.

[upbeat crypt]

tfw you kill a serpent with your buddies, and one of them immediately does a world record jump to the meat, and the very moment he hits the water you hear the drowning noises...

[carmine sapphire]

did he die tho

[upbeat crypt]

wasn't even close to surviving

died like 10 meters from the ladder

[tacit crystal]

Note to self: always check stamina when going in water.

[heady parcel]

Next time tell the guy to simply NOT MOVE - if he just stays there and treads water he'll survive until you can manouvre the boat so he can get back onboard

[upbeat crypt]

nah, the moment you start drowning it's over

treading water only works at 1+ stamina

[heady parcel]

Ah shit, okay. Gods

[charred otter]

Is there a way to trap lox for later breeding? I found a group of 3 right where I want my base and it's a smallish island so I don't want to kill them and then have issues with bringing them there

[upbeat crypt]

just throw berries at them until they're tamed

then build base around them

[charred otter]

Or maybe I should just make a base in the large plains near it, but I couldn't find a flat shore to build a base in

[charred otter]

I don't have any berries on me and not really ready to tame em

[upbeat crypt]

keep in mind with the saddle you can tame lox anywhere and just relocate them easily

[charred otter]

Even if there is an ocean in the middle?

[dusk violet]

After 2 years, I finally changed my Graphiks, and OH boy does my game runs smooth.

[vapid hearth]

Huh, TIL it's possible to aggro the dwarves even if I'm in a dungeon as long as where I am on the map is close to where they are

[heady parcel]

Umm, but in what dungeon have you met dvergr?

[nocturne wolf]

You can ride a lox while it's swimming

[vapid hearth]

None, but when I destroyed a lamp in a dungeon I got messages of hostile dvergr

[heady parcel]

Weird, shouldn't happen without a ward nearby

[nocturne wolf]

The visuals of a ward suggest the area would be a sphere but in most situations it would be hard to notice it's a cylinder so it could certainly be possible

[vapid hearth]

Most likely a cylinder, because relative to where I was on the map when I destroyed the lamp inside the dungeon, I was close to a dvergr settlement. I went to check with that settlement and sure enough, they were hostile

I'm going by this #screenshots message

[heady parcel]

Another Ashlands question: ||Are molten cores used for anything besides stone portals?||

[nocturne wolf]

||No, they're not even fireworks like other kinds of cores ||

[heady parcel]

Aright, thanks

More Ashlands questions: ||So what's the average yield of molten cores from putrid holes? Got six from my first, is that good or bad?||

[tacit crystal]

Quite nice amount, the amounts can vary tho. Some can have multiple (counting those ||inside chests||) and some can have nothing.

[heady parcel]

Awesome, thanks. I also have enough bones to fuel my shields until the next millennium or so..

[tacit crystal]

And to craft bolts/arrows depending which ranged weapon you use.

[heady parcel]

I've had such stockpiles of previous arrows that I haven't actually crafted any ashlands arrows yet. Frost arrows are still KING, with needle arrows still packing enough punch to be an acceptable everyday arrow when you don't really need the frost arrows.

But when a 2-star warrior comes at you, having frost arrows at hand feels pretty fecking good

Not gonna let that bastard close enough to hit me!

[nocturne wolf]

A silver sword works fine for me

They only hit you if you let them

[upbeat crypt]

The dead fear silver. Remind them why.

[heady parcel]

Aye, I value Mistwalker more than the silver sword actually due to the frost bit. When you can keep them slowed more or less the entire fight they aren't that scary

[nocturne wolf]

You get a slow enemy but also a slow fight

[heady parcel]

Alas, most of the time they have a bunch of friends so I'm not interested in standing around to give them a fair fight

[heady parcel]

Damage difference isn't really that big, especially considering spirit damage is a dot. But spirit damage stacks right? So you can give it a few whacks whíle slowed and then back off and let it tick...

[nocturne wolf]

Spirit stacking means you don't need to let it tick, you won't lose anything for damaging them while the spirit effect is active

Unlike poison

[heady parcel]

Usually my main objective in any fight with starred enemies is to not get hit. If they have friends, getting staggered is not good..

[upbeat crypt]

1038 hours into the game, finally killed Yag 😄

[spare quail]

Hi, i´m looking for gruop to start new world

[heady parcel]

#1024264966712340510

[nimble moss]

what do you mean by "messages of hostile dvergr"?

I have a theory what has occured - do you have the seed by chance? Can you show us which dunegon you were in?

[shy marlin]

Wonder if the combat update will finally allow us to keybind the dodge roll

[vapid hearth]

Here's where the dungeon took place. I can only assume it was because, map-wise, my character was close to the dvergr settlement when I destroyed the lantern. As for the seed, it should be QktZE5cqqK
#screenshots message

[nimble moss]

yeah - thats my theory. If so - its defintely a bug - but I want to check and do some tests.

[nimble moss]

in terms of that screenshot location - is it roughly north, south, east or west from the starting spot? (So I can find it easier on the main map)

[vapid hearth]

Ahh, understood, thank you. Though I've heard that even with the same seed, dungeons don't generate with the same layout, so that may be something to keep in mind. Ah, imma post a screenshot of the exact location

Here
#screenshots message

[nimble moss]

" Though I've heard that even with the same seed, dungeons don't generate with the same layout, so that may be something to keep in mind"

That only applies to burial chambers and sunken crypts. And even for those its a 1 in 16 spawn rate, not totally random.

All the others are the same on each seed - so I'll have a look and do some tests

[vapid hearth]

Ah, good, good, understood

[vapid hearth]

Huh, today I learned that even a loose Jotun carcass (i.e. one outside a quarry) counts as dvergr property as long as it's in the barrier

[nimble moss]

Any structure inside the barrier is treated as if owned by the ward. So if you take a cart or boat inside the barrier and start hitting the cart or boat, they get upset.

[halcyon mason]

Ye like afrayedknot said and anything u hit that triggers the ward counts as their property

[carmine sapphire]

is 160-200ms ping a lot?

I have a VPS for something else but its there already so I figured I might be able to host a server there, but I'm scared the ping will be too high

[signal wasp]

[vapid hearth]

Damn, even regular rock formations?
I think I've also had nearby dvergr (i.e. ones that aren't part of the point of interest) aggro from hitting something that was the property of a now-vacated quarry (the dorfs there got killed by glyphids)

Maaan, I always feel bad about having to beat up dvergr 😦

[gray sand]

Just pretend they are jedi younglings.

[vapid hearth]

Also, that's weird, I thought they let me get away with hitting something once as long as it doesn't destroy anything (with dialogue of them threatening to cut my hand off if I keep it up)

[nimble moss]

I think its 3-4 hits without destruction, after that they aggress

[vapid hearth]

Interesting, interesting, thank you

[rocky nebula]

I just got 5 ghosts in one burial chamber and it had stairs

[nimble moss]

ghosts dont spawn in burial chambers - you got mods? or playing with other people on a server?

[gray sand]

Where do ghosts spawn then?

[nimble moss]

wait - ugh

[gray sand]

😉

[nimble moss]

was thinking of sunken crypts and wraths - had a dyslexic moment - thanks

[shy marlin]

In the raid event 😏

[nimble moss]

ghosts - not wraths

[shy marlin]

ghosts spawn in the chill down your spine

[nimble moss]

oh really? TIL

[shy marlin]

along with wraiths yea

[nimble moss]

I rarely get that event...

[gray sand]

Having raids enabled 😏

[shy marlin]

Having raids enabled but spawn proofing your entire base making them worthless

[vapid hearth]

Imagine your pickaxe running out of durability before you can carve a hole out of the jotun skull you're lobotomizing

[robust iris]

How many playthroughs have y'all done

[verbal geyser]

can i ask that why does my fire is not burning in rain while my shield generetor working??

[vapid hearth]

A total of five or six times at least eight times, not counting the one playthrough I did for the Mistlands public beta

[robust iris]

Yaaa w Iv also done around 4 or 5 with a friend Iv got like 900 hrs rn id have alot more if I really played more but those playthroughs are usually spaced out by months and last a good bit each

[dapper token]

no

[verbal geyser]

no?

its not yes or no question dude

[cobalt canyon]

Well......

you did ask "can I ask"

"no" is, technically, a sensible response (if a bit rude)

[quasi latch]

The second one.

[ancient merlin]

Good Morning everyone. I am new on this server and just wanted to drop in and say Hi 😄 Have a great Sunday everyone (Or Saturday Night, depending on where you are from )

[long peak]

Hi O7 O/

Salute my friend

[ancient merlin]

Greetings, Fellow Viking. I hope Odin gifts you with a glorious day today

[vernal pebble]

I was lost at sea for 3h

[ancient merlin]

Been there, done that 😂

[warm sandal]

It is raining and 9C were I am. A shame Odin did not feel like glorious day around these parts of the world

[ancient merlin]

Yeah, It's the same here. But for me, a little rain and cold weather, accompanied with a nice cup of coffee or tea makes for a great and comfortable day of playing Valheim 😄

But Yeah, Sun is always nicer. But you sometimes need a cold day to appreciate the nice days (Which are rare here in northern Europe 😂 )

[nimble moss]

achivements are slated for 1.0 release apparently

[ancient merlin]

1.0 Will be released with the Deep North Update, right? Or am I mistaken?

[long peak]

İ wish for trading cards and achivements too

[ancient merlin]

That would be so cool

[long peak]

yes atleast i heard it like that at spill

[nimble moss]

correct. And a patch prior to that for a combat update. Per #news - everything is there

[merry pebble]

Yep, Deep North will be the 1.0 update 🙂

[ancient merlin]

Really excited for the deep norht even though I still have to set foot into Ashlands 😂

[long peak]

İ hope there would be achivement about sneak attacking a troll with a knife to a certain point

[nimble moss]

you would think dying to a tree is one - "Welcome to Valheim" achivement unlocked.

[long peak]

it would be funny just saying

[long peak]

Ah hell yeah

definetly should be
if there would be more than hundred achivement i could die from happiness

[ancient merlin]

Yeah I've heard about it in the 1 Day Instagram Overtake, does anyone have information about its release date? Or is it just soon?

[nimble moss]

nope - just #news - no dates - no one knows

[long peak]

İ am okkey to be waiting i am a kinda new player i started right before hearth and home :d

[merry pebble]

Only info about Its timeline we have Is that it will come before DN 🙂

[ancient merlin]

I dont need a date to be excited ;D just happy that is is going to happen. Slope Fighting can sometimes be a game changer when fighting enemies or kick you in the butt (which is more often than actually helping 😂 )

[long peak]

İ heard that its gona be released in 2025 but not sure about it was a reliable source

[nimble moss]

nope - not reliable - NO ONE knows - that is just them guessing - they may end up been correct - but a guess is still a guess

[ancient merlin]

Is Deep North supposed to release this year?

[nimble moss]

no. one. knows.

[long peak]

oh

[merry pebble]

Not official = not reliable

[ancient merlin]

Oh, just read this after asking

[long peak]

My memory is not so reliable too anyway

[ancient merlin]

Haha, relatable 😂

[long peak]

hey i have a little question

[ancient merlin]

Aks away my friend (Even though I dont know if you mean me haha)

[long peak]

in real life when you make Charcoal its looses some mass i am thinking about making a little suggestion like making coal a bit lighter than wood

its a little thing but could be a nice detail

[merry pebble]

Meh, while it would be slightly more realistic there is not really a need for it

Tho nice detail for sure

[long peak]

yeah but i am assuming it would be not so hard minor details some times being nice but its definetly not necesery

it could stay this way

no problem with it

[ancient merlin]

Well it does sound logical. I dont know how far the devs are going into being more realistic but Valheim does offer 'realistic building' in terms of statics. It is a small and nice detail for sure, I just dont know if the will implement it. But go ahead and suggest it. Only thing that could happen is them saying no, so why not 😄

[delicate bronze]

New player here. Curious as to why the game is still in EA, has the devs abandoned it. Does any1 know something?

[long peak]

no devs not abondened Valheim is a great game that having yearly updates its just a small team and they are trying to make perfect as they can and don't just adding random stuff this game is litteraly massive i have played 1300 hours and there is still content

[long peak]

and probably one of the Best experience i ever had in a while

[delicate bronze]

ye, not saying the game isn't great or anything, i'm new and i'm already rly having fun and i can see the potential.
simply curious as to why the game is still in EA this many years after the "release". But it's nice to hear that they're still focused on the game and keep bringing out updates! 🙏

[wooden tapir]

yea its just not complete yet, and they didnt want to full release an unfinished game

[long peak]

They know their game has a potential of not being just a marketable product but a game that could be amazing experience for years

[azure yacht]

Yes, it's completely abandoned and won't have any more updates

[long peak]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i was just searching for anybody ever suggested adding frost damage and saw this message

[charred otter]

So it's like a 4th boat option?

Does it only work for shallow water or like straight up any depth?

[nocturne wolf]

Any depth, but the lox will eventually run out of stamina

[long peak]

as i know when lox out of stamina its not ending well for the lox

[charred otter]

Oh... how much stamina does it have? can it cross this? #valheim-help message

[long peak]

İ don't know even after 1300 i used Loxes just for feeding

[fallen sandal]

||lorax||

[silent oriole]

star lox when

[tacit crystal]

Probably not.

[hearty hatch]

doesn't frost damage already exist?

my ||Frostner ||does frost damage

[long peak]

no it was about adding frost to battleaxes

Crystal Battleaxe*

[hearty hatch]

oh

[long peak]

it was my mistake to not correcting my sentece

[hearty hatch]

but no they didn't stop updating the game

they're gonna make some updates for combat and they'll add ||Deepnorth||

[long peak]

yeah

excited for it

[silent oriole]

crazy how smth with that name does frost damage

[hearty hatch]

I know right. kind of baffling

[keen sequoia]

nothing like sailing at night and seeing some clouds and for a sec think its Jörmungandr

[long peak]

now i think about it i remembered my first encounter with see serpent it was epic i barely ssurvived

[keen sequoia]

i remember mine too. was so epic

[long peak]

When i eat his delicious meat

it felt like a warrior taking his prize

[keen sequoia]

me and my buddies built a feast hall just to celebrate bcus we got the trophy

we called it Ormshallen

[tacit crystal]

Some foods make me wonder what they would taste IRL, serpent meat being one of them.

[keen sequoia]

i feel like it kinda be like whale

which is stupidly delicious

[tacit crystal]

I would guess "fishy" at least.

[keen sequoia]

well yes. but also really fatty

[long peak]

as a meat lover i wonder too looks yummy and nutrious

[tacit crystal]

When the game got feasts seeing some of them the first time got me drooling.

[long peak]

A Warrior feast

[tacit crystal]

The meadows, ocean, plains and mistlands feasts especially.

[long peak]

i still hope there will be new foods

[tacit crystal]

There could be additional uses for fish types that haven't any yet.

[long peak]

yeah i dont find fishes as a reliable food source maybe special foods like Fish and bred that in mistlands

oh btw i wonder is there anyone that catch every 5 level fish

i only founded 2 of them Troll and a one that i dont remember its english name let me check

Coral Cod

now i think about it i hope devs wont add a achivement about beating the game on hardest settings

i wana %100 and put valheim to my steam profile as a memory

[tacit crystal]

That remains to be seen.

[tacit crystal]

I've gotten these 5 tier fish so far: perch, pike, trollfish, tuna, pufferfish (not all in same world).

[long peak]

me to not in same world

[long peak]

man how many hours do you have in this game

[tacit crystal]

Hmmm. Last checked almost 2,8k.

[long peak]

HOLY MOLY

[tacit crystal]

Been playing since late 2021.

[long peak]

you litteraly have 2x plus more than my all time

[long peak]

Do you have the odin cape

[tacit crystal]

There are folks with more hours than me even.

[tacit crystal]

Nope, I didn't play on beta.

Game was released EA in February 2021.

And I started maybe late September 2021.

[long peak]

i wish i had odin cape so much 😊

;"(

[tacit crystal]

It can be obtained with console commands tho, but non beta players cannot wear it.

[long peak]

i wonder if they wana have low price worker :d

Price of a odin cape ahahhahaha

[tacit crystal]

I don't think they are giving more of them anymore.

[long peak]

yeah it would be disrespectfull to beta players

its not that important i have ||Feather|| Cape anyway

[tacit crystal]

But hey we have midsummer crowns soon. Additional 1 armor for new run.

[long peak]

off the topic now i think about it mistlands item designs was amazing those could be the best update about items

only one i didnt like among them was Jotunnbane and it wasnt about its design it was about its weaker than other weapons

[tacit crystal]

No wonder, poison damage is kinda bad currently.

[long peak]

yeah its only because it dose not stack :/

Thats the neet part you don't

:d

i had to do it sorry it was a great chance tp do the meme

[tacit crystal]

They are somewhat rarer than other bosses' but you can possibly find them in stonehenge looking stone formations.

But chances for finding the boss altar accidentally before Vegvisir is usually higher.

Also progressing plains is much more straightforward than previous ones: there is no mining needed, you gain all needed materials for plains tier gear and foods from fuling villages.

They have very low hp so any weapon can kill them, even crude bow with wooden arrow.

Root Harnesk or Serpent shield can help with the pierce damage they deal. Then there is bug repellant potion.

Like a trash can: deleting items, some coal can be gained in return.

[willow summit]

Dont put it against a wall of your building. No reason.

[fluid saffron]

Playing this game blind for my first playthrough is so satisfying, despite skeletons kicking my ass more than I care to admit

[pliant hatch]

Once you figure out the block and parrying mechanics, it's you who kicks the skellies pelvis, instead of them kicking your butt.

[long peak]

yeah agreed

[long peak]

i was using a spear and axe in my first play through skeletons were deadly

[pliant hatch]

Skellies are not really vulnerable to pierce and slash. Blunt damage from the club, however......

[long peak]

yeah now i am a guy with 100 level clubs 😄

[tacit crystal]

Slash is okay, they take normal damage from it. Swords might be actually slightly better in narrow tunnels than clubs due to swords having no multi target penalty.

[keen trench]

true, they'll soon be just a small itch, but before cauldron processed food starred ones still stagger you through parries and has to be treated almost like early mini-bosses, uhm unless maybe you go deer+boar+neck, but you'll be too much limited in stam imo

[long peak]

btw i have a idea about old raids if anyone interested wana chit chat about it in sugggestion discusison

[long peak]

i am usualy farming carrots until swamp and eating Deer meat Boar jerky and a Honey its pretty enough and i am using a Round shield and troll hide set

[keen trench]

yeh, i was talking about pre-Eikthyr stuff, as the post suggest he's quite early in game #valheim-chat message

[long peak]

i still remember i didnt eat anything and almost died to a boar

[keen trench]

or a tree, or even trying to get beehives without a bow and not having the idea to deconstruct the wall to crumble hit

[hearty hatch]

deconstructing the actual building is much better because you don't lose any materials

[keen trench]

i noticed the thing with starred skeletons in recent fresh playthrus, the first time they where just generally damn scary and dangerous

[hearty hatch]

skeletons are only in the black forest
don't go anywhere besides the meadows before killing the first boss

[keen trench]

yeh, still a quarter of a wood piece for a couple arrows won't make me bankrupt my material stocks 😁

[keen trench]

another thing i noticed only in recent start-overs, they do! dolmen P.O.I.s in meadows can be guarded by skellies

[hearty hatch]

Yeah but i think they're not near spawn

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, during night they have 50% chance to spawn at the dolmens.

[keen trench]

quite near yes, last time it was on spawn island, and it wasn't a big one

[fluid saffron]

I learned club is friend after they killed me 3 times, I killed a troll first try no deaths but skeletons theyre scary man

[keen trench]

that's why, on first playthru (it was feb 5 2021, i was totally by myself, no tutorials, no wiki) i avoided being outside at night at all costs,c even in meadows

[tacit crystal]

I think I cut wood during night in my first world ever, trying to figure out how building works in game. I also think my first building ever stands still in the same place near the sacrificial stones in my first world.

[keen trench]

uh nice, usually the trolls are a lot scarier than skellies, but makes sense, if you don't panick and have some patience (early bow/arrows/skills will take forever) you will get em without a scratch

[fluid saffron]

Im finally clearing my first dungeon but I want full troll armor before I go to fight the first boss

[fluid saffron]

It was bow and arrows, alot of flint and fire

[long peak]

in my first time playing valheim with friend a random skeleton camed on our first night and killed us like 3 times ?

[tacit crystal]

Fire arrows deal good damage against skellies too.

[keen trench]

aah nice, i demolished it, after two hours of triynx "fixing it and making it nicer"... didn't really get how snapping worked at the time eheh

[fluid saffron]

Oh nice, theyre infesting my first dungeon

[tacit crystal]

Back then we didn't even have snap points. New players have it much easier. 👴

[fluid saffron]

Hey uh no need to call me out when thats what I did

[tacit crystal]

I'm not even calling anyone out lol, that's what I did.

[keen trench]

oo right, when q & e did absolutely nothing, and you couldn't even get some snaps without sitting on the ground 👴 (and youngsters had respect for the elders, and here was all countryside etc.)

[tacit crystal]

Building bridges was more pain, thank IG for snap points. 🙌

[long peak]

+1

[fluid saffron]

Honestly, I like fighting a troll more, even though my first one chased me all the way back to the meadow from deep black forest lol

Are these dungeons infinite? Lmfao

[keen trench]

also very precious drops in early game, if you kill 5 you'll be very overpowered for your stage, armor wise

[keen trench]

some are jokingly small, some seem infinite and even develop on different levels

but infinite ones are good, more chances of precious loot

[fluid saffron]

I think I cleared it but theres no way for me to know as far as I can tell

[keen trench]

use the old trick for mazes, pick a side and turn on that side forever until you face the exit again

i always pick left, so go left, left, left, anywhere you can, and if it's a dead end, turn left until you make a full turn, then go left😁

[tacit crystal]

You can also put something to mark ways you have cleared, like log benches that can be built inside dungeons and require only 1 material, taking as small room from the inventory possible.

[fluid saffron]

So uh anyone have a solution to smoke building in my house? Like is there a chimney?

[merry pebble]

You build your own chimney 😄

[arctic kiln]

You can make a chimney like structure with wood or stone

[tacit crystal]

You have to build something that allows smoke get out.

[long peak]

best way to avaoid dont make a roof :d

[fluid saffron]

Am I getting raided???

[long peak]

? like any ss

[tacit crystal]

If there is yellow text telling something and suddenly many mobs spawning, then yes.

[long peak]

what raid you get i wonder

[fluid saffron]

The first boss spawned a raid of boars and necks, got to level up my knife

[tacit crystal]

Nice, free boar meat and leather scraps.

[fluid saffron]

Exactly

Im gonna need that to go Troll hunting

Honestly Im in love with this game

The most fun in survival Ive ever had

[pliant hatch]

We all hope you keep saying that after you've experienced how often you need to return to the swamp when you're in later biomes.
Or how hard some bosses can be. 😉

[fluid saffron]

Honestly the only thing I find irritating right now is attempting to find boars, little piggers are scarce when I need leather scrap

[wooden tapir]

or when you undoubtedly die several times trying to recover your gear

[long peak]

btw i never had issues with any bosses except fader

but i usualy maxed all my gears before bosses

[charred gale]

hmm, im back to bronze age

[wooden tapir]

ive died more to random stuff ( usually my own fault for not being patient ) than i have to any boss

[fluid saffron]

Also how nice to see Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror

[long peak]

hahahahah

one of my friend told me he tried to block moders breath from sky

[wooden tapir]

like getting launched off a mountain by a golem or a werewolf

[long peak]

a new run ?

[long peak]

most of my deaths was around swamp dark forest and mistlands

now i thinked about it i nearly never died mountains and plains

[wooden tapir]

i died A LOT my first experience in ashlands. the delayed attacks from warriors were a big issue for me

[long peak]

even in my first play through

[long peak]

in my first ashlands try i died like 13 ???

and i was litteraly always resting using bonemass as much i could have pots of all kinds using 2 health and a stamina

[final bloom]

Do i really need to go picking up every rock I find on the ground when looking for Rocky?

[wooden tapir]

i stopped counting, but my run went from 97 to 35 by how many times i died

[charred gale]

yes

[long peak]

nearly 5 or 6 of them was directly a 2 star and 1 star 3 askvin jumped me

[long peak]

holy mann

[long peak]

no only the one looks suspicious

[final bloom]

Idk what that means

[wooden tapir]

all my deaths were avoidable, very few times have i died in this game and thought it was not my fault/unavoidable

[keen trench]

uhm not at all, mysterious rocks models on the ground are quite different from regular stones

[long peak]

i died to a star dverger ice mage that inside a rock due to a glitch

[wooden tapir]

RIP

[fluid saffron]

Day 18 still working towards the first boss

[long peak]

howw

[final bloom]

Thanks, looking for them for a while but had no luck yet

[vocal rivet]

What's wrong with that?

[long peak]

i dont know

[keen trench]

bigger, lighter in colour, slightly shiny, and tend to a rounded triangular shape

[vocal rivet]

Then don't say anything.

[long peak]

its not wrong but i was so impatience thats whats wrong

[wooden tapir]

like anytime i die its usually, i got impatient and tried to kill something before it killed me and didnt win the 50/50, forgot to eat, underestimated my enemy ( i once tried to block a 2 star warrior, he 1 shot me)

[long peak]

i was so impatience i was directly spawned eikthr without preparing anything

i was dying to him nearly ahahhahaha

[vocal rivet]

Well, let's not tell other people how to play the game, eh?

[final bloom]

Thx, are they that rare?

[wooden tapir]

pretty rare

[long peak]

i am not even sure what did i say wrong ?

[wooden tapir]

i searched for 5 hours before i found one

[spice cradle]

I don’t really think he did, he just asked how

[vocal rivet]

That's what makes it worse.

[long peak]

sorry if i said something disturbing did i use a swear word or something like that ?

[wooden tapir]

also make sure you are looking in areas that were not previously explored before the update

[wooden tapir]

its not that serious

[keen trench]

quite rare yes, i just found 3 over all seeds since april, also you have to be a bit distant from map center (at least 1000m), and between 5 and 20m of altitude, also they won't spawn in areas already explored before the update

[vocal rivet]

No, you suggested that they had somehow taken an impossible length of time playing before Eikthyr.

[wooden tapir]

this was also 5 hours of me legit just running around looking at the ground for rocks, not doing anything else

[long peak]

is that seemed like a insult i am sorry :/

[spice cradle]

I think you’re being unfair to this guy, it didn’t sound demeaning

[charred gale]

#screenshots

[wooden tapir]

derek can always seem that way, but its also up to both parties to realize that some things are not that serious and dont need responded too

[jaunty turtle]

Happy Moder’s Day everyone that celebrates today

[fluid saffron]

Its my first playthrough and Im making sure I win the first time. Im gearing up to get full troll armor before heading to them

[wooden tapir]

apply filters yourself if others wont

[long peak]

no my english is not so good i could have implemented a meaning that i wouldnt meant to

[long peak]

i am sorry i didnt wana say something rude :/

[jaunty turtle]

Tried too look through the chat multiple times and could not find anything necessarily rude

[frank peak]

all good dready idk what your main language is but id be hard pressed to figure out nuance especially if i didnt know english first the nuance and secondary meanings that words can have when turned into a full sentence can be hard but youre doing great bud

[vernal pebble]

My niece looks like bonemass

[keen trench]

uhm maybe better to move on and not makes this huge, as Deadlord understood the excess and apologized, no big deal. Valheim first experience is so precious it's also understendable being firm about "don't tell anyone how to play", that's about it imo

[tacit crystal]

They tend to be blob-like and squishy when very young. But cute nonetheless.

[vernal pebble]

No not that sadly

She's like 50kg+ at 10yo

[tacit crystal]

Ah. I thought about babies.

[vernal pebble]

I don't even think she weighted normal as a baby

[fluid saffron]

Youre alright Im not upset or anything

Im just deep in the game so my response time is a bit ass

[keen trench]

10yo is very early, small humans enlarge-elong-enlarge.. continually at that stage

[vernal pebble]

No you don't get it bro

[charred gale]

🗿

[keen trench]

take your time, i'm team really slow players, first time i wanted every single piece of equipment crafted and maxed before Eikthyr, with much pain for the requested bone fragments, then smoothed myself down but i wouldnt trade first playtrhu to anything

[jaunty turtle]

I remember my first play-through four years ago, I took ages progressing through the bosses, crafting every weapon and getting top upgraded gear, but I had fun every second and I learned plenty. Having fun is most important.

[wooden tapir]

did you pick up every single item in ashlands as well?

no, all items degrade in water but only down to half, maybe not all items actually, stone might not degrade

[keen trench]

eheh, i still have to go to ashlands, actually i promised myself to keep from fighting queen as well but couldn't resist and failed

[spice cradle]

Darkwood is I think

[keen trench]

ofc i had time to craft and max every single little thing in mistlands in the meantime, even those i don't use

[wooden tapir]

well just a heads up if you are a hoarder, there is WAY TO MANY items to pick everything up and progress

itll make sense when you get there

[keen trench]

eheh yeh i know i have seen other's playthrus, and have an idea of the amount of equipment craftable

[vocal rivet]

It's fine if you just pick up what you need, same as the rest of the game.

[wooden tapir]

i mean i spent every other biome picking up everything that dropped

had to give up that habit at ashlands

[vocal rivet]

It should never have become a habit. Valheim teaches you very early on that inventory management is key.

[potent zephyr]

im valheimning my shit rn

[spice cradle]

are you telling people how to play?

[potent zephyr]

john valheim

[vocal rivet]

Um, no?

[keen trench]

uh, i did a massive cut-down to that even in mistlands, less inventory space due to more meads needed (for my playstyle) and reduced carryweight due to wisp

[vernal pebble]

I hope deep north will go give us 2 handed axes again I love them but they're overshadowed

[potent zephyr]

two handed fists

[wooden tapir]

its a habit from other games, and sure ive had to manage my inventory before but then i just go back for the stuff i couldnt carry

[potent zephyr]

i disagree etc in minecraft if we forget that steve has glutes of a god we can pretend items also have weight yet during exploration i often have invertory full of "lightweight" items

same with valheim where if you travel through multiple biomes and you collect shit you dont want to make special trips for

bees, 2 types of berries, leather, boar meat

seeds, gold

[wooden tapir]

i collect every item in minecraft too, anything that drops. im a hoarder in survival games and never know when you might need something

[potent zephyr]

idk i didnt play in a while and i forgot "what all items exist"

[wooden tapir]

not so much that i go out and grab everything i see, im not mining every single piece of ore i see. but if its a drop on the ground, im picking it up

[potent zephyr]

im not too much of a decorator but i mean those 2 block roses are a grab

[wooden tapir]

i guess the only "exception" would be arrows in chests. im not grabbing those as i will 100% never use them

what do i need flint arrows for when im in plains

[long peak]

;") sorry anyway i will try to be more carefull

[long peak]

i was usualy using old arrows as a wasteable resource :d

[long peak]

i think derek was right about it i didnt realised that could have understanded like that

words can have deeper meanings that we thought about

[keen trench]

yup i got that, and i think all people actually involved did, so all good

yup, quite a bunch of stuff actually

[long peak]

you should be able to craft other weapons did you find the machine that uses flax to

create something else

:d i think you gona love the items gona unlock after that

uhm i am not sure its name in english

could be that

did you find flax

no you cant

only in plains biome as far as i know

its spining wheel i looked to wiki

[plush umbra]

Sure you can, you can grow it in the mountains with a shield generator.

[long peak]

there is gona be some good stuff :d

[long peak]

wow wait i didnt know that

waitt

[plush umbra]

Me neither lol, I made it up.

[long peak]

this man is new dont spoil it

[long peak]

ahahahhaahahaha i wonder it now

[plush umbra]

I tried it, I think the wiki says you can grow things in the mountains with a shield generator placed, but it didn't work when I tried. I only tested the oak tree though.

[long peak]

its a quite not plain biome ( i dont know the reverse of the flat sorry) it would be hard to make farm there

😄

wait until he finds out the materials that he needs to make new armor set :d

[plush umbra]

He'll be revisiting a certain place lol

[long peak]

:DDDD

i am sitting here and waiting him to come here and yell about the thing we all know about

[pliant hatch]

Don't do that. It may be considered as true and leading to players asking why it doesn't work while someone at the official Valheim discord said it was possible.

[plush umbra]

That's why I went ahead and followed it up with it's not true

[sinful fulcrum]

are ashwood structures affected by rain?

[long peak]

wiki says yes

didn't tested it out for my self

maybe you could put some in swamp to see

[plush umbra]

I do remember reading it off the wiki

[long peak]

it could be helpful quick

[sinful fulcrum]

I put some ashwood archs and they were not affected

which made me think hmm

[merry pebble]

Nothing else grows in mountains other than fir, with or without shield generator 🙂 (and Its not nice to make up stuff)

[long peak]

yeah 😄

are you now mad

wow

in my first play though i was like come on more iron againnn

[merry pebble]

You only need 96 iron for the whole lvl4 set 🙂

[long peak]

the all valheim comminty this man the who farms enough

You shell be honored :d

as i know iron is like a meme at this point

anyway iron still didn't played his last card

[plush umbra]

I hate iron

[long peak]

me to

i crafted hunter bow or huntsmenn bow only once just for not using armor

[plush umbra]

At least I did until I realized you could farm iron using the cultivator, but you have to find the super rare iron seed for that.

[plush umbra]

It grows the iron bush and gives unlimited iron

[merry pebble]

He Is making stuff up again

[long peak]

i am just only using light armor in dark forest and swamp just for not farming iron and copper

[plush umbra]

Cmon guys, I thought that one would be obvious 💀

[keen trench]

heh, the great iron disappointment: "wow, it's 1:1, for one bronze i had to mine and smelt 3 pieces of ore, im in heaven!" then > "iron hair clip: 65 iron"

[long peak]

ahahhaa not my problem :d

[merry pebble]

Not necessarily to new players... So please stop

[plush umbra]

"It's real I swear, I have seen the iron bush with my own 2 eyes."

[long peak]

unless i never have enough iron

[merry pebble]

Great... Another troll...

[plush umbra]

You'll have infinite iron with the iron bush

[long peak]

:d

[gray sand]

One is troll, one is just bad with jokes.

You can tell the difference from the i's. 😉

[long peak]

to be honest i am not sure whic one of us the troll and other one

[gray sand]

Pain.

[keen trench]

where's the other one? they usually come in pairs when the ground is shaking (jokes apart, it happened a lot of times )

[long peak]

:ddd

[plush umbra]

"Puncher of drakes" are you a fellow mountain homesteader?

The drake spawn rate in the mountain is insane, it's especially noticable when you live there

[long peak]

i still dont get the joke of the i character

is it about i am constantly pressing wrong button

or am i just so off the topic

[gray sand]

Basically you're both trolling as Asatru pointed out, but I have respect for one of you.

[pliant hatch]

You don't have to.

Just don't feed the one who's telling "jokes" that could be explained as being true as this is the official Valheim discord.

[merry pebble]

Oh if it were just jokes it would be mostly fine, however not stoping after firsthandedly seeing the confusion it causes to newer players just makes it a trolling attempt imho.

[gray sand]

Fair and valid.

[long peak]

he said its not real then i go on its should be clear i suppose

its obivous its a joke after he wrote this

[merry pebble]

You know very well they continued in pretending that it Is real even after they said that

[lofty valley]

I have a joke, whats black and white and read all over?

[plush umbra]

People are getting pressed over me saying there's a bush that grows iron in the game 💀

[pliant hatch]

The problem is that he keeps making those "jokes" even after being told not to do that earlier in here: #valheim-chat message

At that point, "jokes" aren't funny anymore, but become trolling.

[plush umbra]

Literally put it in quotation marks

[long peak]

yeah that was a warning but he didnot made something that harm the players experience

it was basic joke that not gona live so much

[lofty valley]

that joke seems innocent to me.

[long peak]

he even put a skull emote to clear

i think even the devs like jokes :d

Rocky the Pet Rock hell yeahh

[plush umbra]

dam

[long peak]

İ hope i didnt give you funny ideas

[plush umbra]

I'll write it in my notebook, but I'll only tell it to people I don't like lol

I told one of my buddies to stand on the obliterator right before I turned it on once

Bro experienced thor's power firsthand

[pliant hatch]

You folks still don't get it, do you?

This is the OFFICIAL!!! Valheim Discord server.
People come here to seek help and in particular in this channel.

When someone in there states something that isn't true as being true; no matter if it has quotes around the message or not, it can be considered as true.
In particular because not EVERY member here is a Native English speaking person. Meaning the context of a joke can and will be missunderstood.

Which in turn will lead to players asking about something that's mentioned as a joke not being present in their game, not working as it was told them in a channel at the official Valheim discord and eventually the staff members here having to go through multiple posts to remove that piece of missinformation someone posted as a "joke".

[long peak]

bro please no

i dont make jokes like this anyway

i just stated it wasnt a harmfull joke but okkey rule is rule

[keen trench]

we all get that the intent was make jokes and being very funny, still many gentle reminders like "ok, ahah, but please don't" hence the ground shaking theory, seems very clear to me

[long peak]

i deleted my uhmm senteces the right word i guess ?

for being sure

it does not cause problem

[keen trench]

emotes, quotation marks and stuff can be misunderstood, internet-slangs may be unknown etc.

[long peak]

my brain and my english have no idea about what writes down there

[plush umbra]

👍

[keen trench]

it's ok i didn't see you troll or anything, maybe i missed some msgs

[long peak]

i deleted some mesage after the warning just to be sure it does not cause any problem

i did not write down anything that trolls anyway i acted like i was trolled to for being funny

it was a joke about still not enough iron

[plush umbra]

How bout we change the subject to something game related

[vocal rivet]

People were trying.

[keen trench]

it's ok, everyone has to take time to adapt to server etiquette, i had to myself (i remember joking about deer sense of smell, wich is not a thing and being asked not to, no intention to troll and nobody got upset), the trick is just listen to others and it's fine

[long peak]

Holy that lie started here

[keen trench]

nah, it was very older than that

[long peak]

i heard that in a tips and tricks video before ahhahahahahah

i thought like oh my god devs even put that into the game

[keen trench]

yeh the weird thing is some streamers still claim this, and not even as a joke

[long peak]

i am usualy look at wiki for things

but damn that was a good joke who made it

it was realy effective it seems

[plush umbra]

The shield generator thing I said was something a dude on reddit fooled me into trying XD

[keen trench]

the thing is that in my case it wasn't even a joke

[vocal rivet]

It's a terrible joke because there are STILL people that genuinely believe it.

[tacit crystal]

I think some might have thought trolls would smell too since their idle animation includes sniffing.

[keen trench]

it was the first week of early access, we were 4 people trying to play for the first time and we had zero external headup

[plush umbra]

Well, not exactly fooled, he said maybe I could grow an oak tree in the mountain if I placed a shield generator, cause the shield generator will keep snow and stuff out of the area it is placed in.

[long peak]

its means it was succesfull to be honest

[long peak]

ohm ohmmmm ohmmm

i thought like all mobs can smell

[keen trench]

we were like "oh look, wind dynamics, direction is visible and even marked on the map" we were genuinely convinced of it until the internet (in this case rightfully) denied it

[long peak]

yeah

[keen trench]

this said, neither of us ever streamed or made any content, and at the time didn't even write nothing on any discord/forum/similar so it was not us, just to be clear 😁

[long peak]

ahahhahahahaha

[plush umbra]

I've never visited the valheim discord or interacted with the valheim community in any way until today and even the whole deer scent thing got to me.

[keen trench]

but yeh, maybe the thing didn't start as trolling but just people that interpreted badly wind mechs like us dumbos

the thing was all over the place, maybe dozens of content creators on yt, can't be all trolling

and i don't remember precisely, but last vid that claims it i saw is way less than a year old

[plush umbra]

Wonder how far out deep north is

[long peak]

yes ;"(

[merry pebble]

Quite far still, we have been told that it will not be soon.

[shy marlin]

deep north in 2025 is probably ambitious thinking/hopes

[vocal rivet]

I genuinely thought they meant in distance.

[plush umbra]

I was thinking the same thing with them announcing that combat update.

[merry pebble]

Ah, maybe xD

[vocal rivet]

Nah, you were right.

[plush umbra]

If that releases before deep north, we're probably looking at 2026 at easliest. I hope I am wrong tho

[keen trench]

one can always hope..

[vocal rivet]

That was always the case I think.

[nocturne wolf]

The combat update is releasing before deep north
https://valheim.com/news/word-from-the-devs-mystery-foes/

We’re also working on a smaller update, which will be released before the Deep North, that focuses on improving Valheim’s combat mechanics.

[plush umbra]

😭

[rigid lynx]

Do we know when the combat update releases?

[vocal rivet]

No.

[merry pebble]

Nope, only that it will be before Deep North

[vocal rivet]

You know as much as we do. Updates in #news as ever.

[plush umbra]

I'm betting on sometime in fall

[long peak]

pain everybody is so excited :d so everyone asking anyone they see any dates of updates :d

ahahhahaahh

thats a huge succes of valheim

[keen trench]

yup, "no date predictions" policy is way similar to "no false info", people then tend to take it seriously and get unrightfully upset when it turns out otherwise

[plush umbra]

I wish they coulda been quicker with the updates, Valheim seems to have lost alot of the attention it got since release.

[vocal rivet]

Not especially.

[nocturne wolf]

Quicker updates would mean lower quality content

[plush umbra]

But that coulda just been an anomoly cause everybody was locked inside at that time.

[plush umbra]

Not all the time, the updates have been slow cause they got a small team.

[vocal rivet]

The updates have been at a reasonable pace because they are making a quality game.

[keen trench]

yup, and a small team is one of the biggest blessings to the quality of Valheim imo

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I don't think it's uncommon that some EA games take their time before going to 1.0 update.

[vernal pebble]

Updates shouldn't be faster than this, what happens after every biome? You cant go forever

[plush umbra]

The gameplay loop is a masterpiece, but Idk bout the quality aspect of it. The game's performance significantly dips when you reach the mistlands and ashlands.

[long peak]

agreed

just mistland himself was litteraly a new game if you ask me

and hearth and home it changed valheim forever

[keen trench]

that's how the game is made, and substantial performance improvement has actually been made, curiously in recend updates many people was upset about because it wasn't the deep north..

[plush umbra]

I feel conflicted on how I feel about the mistlands, the boss was probably my favorite, but the biome's verticality was seriously annoying when fighting. Hoping the combat update fixes that. 🤞

[long peak]

yeahhhh definitly but now i am better at selecting where am i start to fight with enemies game's issue with slope combat litteraly forced to me evolve :d

[nocturne wolf]

There is no issue with slope combat. You need to position yourself correctly and consider the height of your attack hitbox and enemy collision, instead of blaming the game for your missed attacks.

[vocal rivet]

You mean the best two biomes?

[long peak]

yeah i couldnt find the right words for it

[long peak]

now i am better positioning

but still people want slope combat change

[heady parcel]

I have seen and played a few of these over the last 7-8 years, and out of all EA games I've tried none have even come near Valheim in consistency and overall quality of every update. Yes, I guess there are some bugs (tho I have not come across anything gamebreaking in 2,000 hours) but holy hells look at some other EA titles. Valheim is more stable and polished than most AAA titles are at release...

[azure yacht]

i hope the positioning aspect remains even after the slope fix

[plush umbra]

"skill issue" ☝️ 🤓

I am aware, I'm not bad at slope combat, it's just combat feels very unnatural on slopes and it does get tiring doing it so often when you reach the mistlands.

[long peak]

yeah i have performance issue too but i thought it was about my laptop

[long peak]

no he didnt wana say skill issue he meant game unintentionaly caused combat to be about more positioning

[keen trench]

i could even be an approximation of realism, go fight a wolf on that kind of icy slope with both hands employed and good luck on just be eaten 😁

[heady parcel]

My ancient gaming PC with a 2014 i7 processor and a GTX1070 card had no performance issues with Valheim whatsoever, seems to be a pretty forgiving game overall unless you run it on a true potato.

[long peak]

yeah my pc does not even have graphic card btw :d

[keen trench]

the fact is (ofc. sacrificing detail) you can still run it on an almost-potato, wich is quality imho

[plush umbra]

The way he framed his message was very "just get good bro"

[long peak]

can be maybe when i looked it again not sure now

[plush umbra]

I found the first half of the game to be that way, but the moment I entered the mistlands, performance took a noticable dip.

Me and my buddies have a server and had the same exact experience.

[keen trench]

yeh, ofc it does, but at minimum graphics i could play that on a potato laptop decently, and it was before last optimization update

didn't do queen fight tho, i had to put some settings down on my main pc for that

(wich is not much more than a potato, but runs it decently, have to put it in "performance" just for queen and very big bases)

[plush umbra]

Queen was such a good boss

[keen trench]

i have to try it solo, did her with a friend (both full mage) and it lasted less than a ratatosk

[plush umbra]

Full mage is pretty strong in mistlands

[long peak]

ahahhahaha

[plush umbra]

I liked using full mage with the himminafl as my melee

[long peak]

btw i didnt use ratotask how long its duratation

[shy marlin]

10 min

[long peak]

are people using it constantly i am using most potions only in boss fights

[keen trench]

10 mins, didn't clock the fight, but when it ended i still had some minutes before debuff

[plush umbra]

I don't time my boss fights, I just enjoy the experience

[keen trench]

usually just for boss fights, but recently i got obsessed with a nice ranger/crossbowman build and it's part of the trick, with that i can "outwalk" basically anything so i never interrupt reloading

[long peak]

btw wana ask a question to mage players

i dont use mage just for i dont wana darm spesific foods to just being able to play are any of you had a issue about getting food

[charred gale]

🧌

[plush umbra]

Mage food is honestly not that bad to farm

I think it's easier to make 1 stamina food and 2 mage foods than it is to make like 2 staminas and a health or 2 health and a stamina.

[keen trench]

yeh, i can speak for mistlands, if you go EES you have very cheap and 100% farmable options for good stam food (salad/omelette)

[tacit crystal]

Once defeating Mistlands boss you gain access to feast that grants also additional eitr.

[heady parcel]

Only issue I have with mage foods is that you are either very squishy or constantly short of stamina. It's a playstyle that really does not agree with me. I had a cute skeleton patrolling my mistlands shroom farm, Helga, but I haven't seen her in a while so I suppose the seekers got her in the end.

[keen trench]

also only thing that's not farmable for eitr respawns in cleared infested mines

[tacit crystal]

Staff of protection helps with the squishiness.

[sturdy fjord]

Just beat Fader for the first time. Feels good 🎶🎶🎶

[plush umbra]

RIP Helga 😥

[heady parcel]

Shield only takes so many hits before it is gone, and then you are REALLY squishy if you try and refresh it

[plush umbra]

Fader gives me nightmares

[sturdy fjord]

He wasn't easy but I actually had a better time with him than the Queen

[keen trench]

i got a Helga once, have any of you met "Your best pal" yet? i lmao'd a lot when he appeared

[long peak]

it can happen some times

[heady parcel]

Now, my whole magic experience comes from skill lvl 5 or so with tier 1 staves, I gave up when seekers just wouldn't die from me raining fire on them. Whacking them with the mistwalker was so much more efficient.

[long peak]

whic boss are you at

[tacit crystal]

||Totems||.

[plush umbra]

I liked to use the fireball to knock them back and poke them with the himminafl

[long peak]

you have to raid fueling villages there are the things

[sturdy fjord]

I'm heavy melee but when I do a new run I'll definitely be a mage. Just took a bit to figure out what to avoid and when to attack

[tacit crystal]

Fuling, not fueling. ⛽

[plush umbra]

The mage experience involves alot of dodge rolling and running lol

[long peak]

i am doing the same mistake constantly :/

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry too much lol.

[keen trench]

eheh we need a Fuling working at a fuel station in fanart now

[merry pebble]

I just hope no fuling shamans come around 😁

[heady parcel]

It is natural for anyone not familiar with swedish really. "U" in swedish is not pronounced "you" but closer to the oo sound in "blue". Fuling is pronounced more like "fooling"

[long peak]

ohh

[keen trench]

nice so Italian helps in this case (u is always "oo")

[tacit crystal]

Kinda like "Fooling Fighters".

[plush umbra]

"Why you out here fooling around in the plains?"

[tacit crystal]

But yeah, as someone somewhat familiar with Swedish I understand the pronouncing issue for people speaking other languages.

[keen trench]

dunno why, but it's always Ful'of'em

[long peak]

yeah i love salad a lot

[keen trench]

Uhm i just find strange most other languages pronunciation of vowels (our is quite univocous)

[heady parcel]

Omelettes are a bit too heavy on eggs to be sustainable though, 3 eggs per portion is pricey tbh. I only used the omelettes for boss fights and deep incursions into unknown Mistlands islands.

[long peak]

funny enough last time i played i realized if you eat ashlands and mistlands feast and a what was the name of ashlands pie ahh the one gives maximum health you can be tanky have enough stamina and use some magic weapons it was such interesting

[heady parcel]

Salad being only marginally weaker but pretty much limitless in mats

[keen trench]

I ended an argument with an Australian friend on who pronounces the "right" vowels by bringing up the word "remember", it's 3 different "e"s, an Italian would read all3 like the second one

[long peak]

i have a auto chicken farm eggs dont cause problems :d

[plush umbra]

English is a very broad language, it found itself all over the world so it has alot of influences.

[heady parcel]

You still need to feed the little bastards and loiter around so that they produce eggs

[keen trench]

yeh Salad is champion in cheapness, Omelettes still good compared to dam Fish'nBread

[long peak]

Todays Topic Chicken slavery

[bright crag]

when are we getting an update 😴

[long peak]

i crafted fish and bread just 2 times and those was for my first queen fight :d

[heady parcel]

I've never even tried catching that fish

[long peak]

İ catched it fot the hat

[heady parcel]

Fishing skill back below 20 after some recent deaths

[plush umbra]

Idk what stage of the game yall are in, but you're sleeping on scorching medley

[keen trench]

yup, quite a pain, even more if you like to use anglerfish to decorate your outpost's pond with nice night lights

[long peak]

what scorching medley is that a food item

[plush umbra]

It's an ashlands tier stamina food

[long peak]

yeah looked up from the wiki i am using that a lot in ashlands

[plush umbra]

I replaced salad with it, you need 3 jotun puffs, 3 fiddleheads and 3 onions to make 3 of them. Super cheap 95 stamina food.

[heady parcel]

I have so far only found one place in my Ashlands where ||the Fiddleads grow, so can't farm enough of them to use the Medley.||

[long peak]

but i dont use ashlands tier food outside ashlands usualy i find risky to farming things in ashlands

those 3 groups of askvins still giving me nightmares

[plush umbra]

Fiddleheads grow all over the place in my ashlands, I literally cannot avoid them when I venture around the biome 💀

[plush umbra]

I got 1 word for hunting askvin, ripper.

[long peak]

maybe i am so unlucky

[long peak]

i dont use rippers a lot

[heady parcel]

Dammit, I realised a while back that I landed in a bad spot, but bugger it I'm just gonna try and push ahead until I find somewhere I can build a better outpost.

[tacit crystal]

Also them spots that grow them respawn after some time.

[plush umbra]

They usually spawn in ruins

[tacit crystal]

Same with smokepuffs.

[plush umbra]

I have a harder time finding smokepuffs, Idk if that's intentional or the seed I play on.

[long peak]

i wonder what they add in Deep North

[tacit crystal]

Biggest batches of fiddleheads are usually found inside dvergr buildings.

[long peak]

me to

[tacit crystal]

Smokepuffs are found basically everywhere.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I know. There are lots of ruins around but so far only one of them had fiddleheads. And the only ones with ash vine were out in the ocean, had to paddle inside one with the drakkar to pick enough to get some seeds.

[plush umbra]

They're just far more spread out, they don't usually grow in large patches like fiddleheads do.

[plush umbra]

Have you ventured very far inland?

[heady parcel]

There is no inland, it is all lava

[tacit crystal]

You gotta venture further, remember? There will be more of those POIs and things you need.

[long peak]

btw i thing ashlands have far more spikes than it should be

[plush umbra]

That's no good 💀

[tacit crystal]

You could venture by shoreline until you see something further inland.

[heady parcel]

I suppose there's more land past the lava, but if I take an askvin to ride across and lose it, I'm stuck...

[long peak]

i was not sure about there was aslands when i go there after the update for the first time

i was like did ashlands didnt spawn or something ?

it was a old world

[charred gale]

this playthrough im making the spear my gimmick weapon

[heady parcel]

Should not matter unless you had already explored Ashlands on it

[keen trench]

did the same some time ago, still one of my fav fightstyles

[heady parcel]

My world is older than the Ashlands update

[long peak]

btw it didnt matter even in a world i explored ashlands

but in my first time i go there in a world i didnt explore

[plush umbra]

Might be part of the problem if you loaded in the ashlands before the actual update.

[charred gale]

i just started with the flint spear and since it proved rather effective as a tier 1 weapon i now upgraded to bronze 🙏

[long peak]

and those spikey trip that lasted too long i was worried

[charred gale]

i did the same thing but had little to no issues

[long peak]

there was no problem at the end

[heady parcel]

No I was never anywhere near that far south before Ashlands was live

[long peak]

it was just i was worried there was

[charred gale]

derleth can you send a screenshot

[tacit crystal]

Flint spear makes it possible to skip crude bow. 🤌

[charred gale]

also managed to get a boar farm going this early into the run

[keen trench]

from bronze lvl.4 onwards, obliterating trolls is so much fun > parry>throw'n'recatch>stabstabstabdead

[charred gale]

yea i think ima spend my bronze not on armor but the tools instead

[long peak]

didyou find a boar with star

[charred gale]

maybe a split, but i wont be spending all of it on a full bronze set

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor is better, it only has 6 less defence (not much) but won't slow you down at all

[charred gale]

i might do troll on everything else but the cuirass

[keen trench]

yeh bronze armor has the least armor bonus for the cost of movement speed, good looking but very skippable

[long peak]

What does troll armor just have 6 less armor points than bronze

[heady parcel]

This is the patch I have explored so far #screenshots message. Looks like there should be land straight south, but when I run along the side there is nowhere to go that doesn't have lava. Logically, there should be more land on the other side, but when I can't see it I'm not that keen on just setting off across the lava...

[nocturne wolf]

If you want one bronze piece, make the helmet. It won't slow you.

[charred gale]

idk yet, we'll see

[tacit crystal]

Helmet doesn't slow you down at all.

[charred gale]

good point

[vocal rivet]

Bronze armour for the win.

[long peak]

now i understand all my bronze armor user friends constantly die in swamp

[charred gale]

main concern was that i already have a troll hood but maybe i can cope with that

[keen trench]

uhm, i usually do all troll except helmet, same total armor points but zero movement speed loss

[charred gale]

same total armor as what

[tacit crystal]

I mean, it's ultimately up to the individual if they want to craft bronze armor.

[charred gale]

i did it on my first playthrough, i tihnk i didnt upgrade it at all tho

[heady parcel]

Cute, W10 nagging at me to change to W11 but my computer is not eligible according to the hardware check

[long peak]

i know the strategy but so lazy to farm copper for a helmeth

[charred gale]

what i would do is id just depart and find a better one

[keen trench]

yup, i like to be consistent more than calculating bonuses, on my "tank" playthru, fully upgraded bronze and no questioning

[charred gale]

my first ashlands was just the spikes, i sailed for 30 minutes in complete spikes, NO land whatsoever

only water and some buildings in there

[tacit crystal]

I also recall crafting bronze armor in my first ever playthrough.

[heady parcel]

Yeah. I unlocked stone portals yesterday, so I'm planning to bring along mats enough for an outpost and just set off on a disposable asksvin

[long peak]

i think its riddiculy low i dont use it not sure how it is but maybe a buff to bronze armor could be good

[charred gale]

sounds good

[vocal rivet]

Not needed.

[keen trench]

i did it two times, level 4

[light moat]

Bronze armor already has a neat effect- it looks fantastic ❤️

[charred gale]

mine was level 1 😭 no wonder the elder beat me up

[long peak]

are you sure i didnt use bronze armor before i dont know how is to play like but its sounds harder

[charred gale]

its the first "heavy" armor so it is weak

[heady parcel]

Bronze armour looks awesome. But imo it is not strong enough to be a better choice than the troll suit, even for me who is a heavy armour purist.

[long peak]

but is it enough for swamp i have no idea ?

[heady parcel]

Marginally better protection than the blue suit, yet the full heavy armour penalty

[keen trench]

yeh, i love the aesthetic progression deer>bronze>iron (wolf is ofc super badass, but breaks similarities with the previous)

[vocal rivet]

Of course. Until you get iron or root.

[long peak]

maybe on my next play through i should not use any light armor to see

i have 1300 hours only maybe 30 40 hours was heavy armor most of them was ashlands one too

[charred gale]

i always do heavy armor

well fenris was an exception in the mistlands but it made me so suspectible to damage that it was risky

[heady parcel]

I always did in the past, but this current viking skipped bronze actually. Maybe because I had to kill so many trolls I had the full troll suit before I could smelt enough bronze to even think about making armour

[long peak]

i am usualy using troll until swamp than root until mountain and until ashlands using a mix of
heavy helmet
rootharnesk
fenris leggings
in ashlands changing to askvin leggings

all my runs was like this

[charred gale]

as a matter of fact im looking for trolls right now

[long peak]

why tho ?

[heady parcel]

Only root piece I ever used was the helmet, to not need to bring resist meads when exploring the swamp. Never liked relying on the chest piece.

[long peak]

ahahaha true chad

[long peak]

that chest piece is game changing definitly advice it

i am litteraly abusing the root chest

[keen trench]

last playtru i kept troll set even for bonemas (with iron helmet for some points) totally worth for 0% movement reduction (root is fantastic but still slows 4%)

[long peak]

yeah

but i think its such a good balancements or else it would be ridicolously op

[heady parcel]

Certainly would make things easier, I know, but... I have two reservations: 1. It doesn't look cool at all. Heavy armours look cool af. AND 2. It is not strictly necessary to survive

[long peak]

but wouldnt say no to no speed penalty just saying

[long peak]

i love nearly all sets to be honest but my favorite light armor set is root and heavy is Wolf

[heady parcel]

This last run I didn't use the root helmet either, because why wear a fricking tree when you can wear a COOL helmet and chug a mead?!? 😄

[long peak]

nuh uh i find root set more amazing than İron set

btw i am not a bow guy but drakes makes me mad because i always have 15 20 level bows at when i am at mountains so i have to use the root set against mountain anyway

[heady parcel]

This is one thing I love about Valheim - it allows us to make these choices and work our way around them. There are no "use-this-thing-or-DIE" pieces

[keen trench]

i could't really decide fav armour (aestetically), root is awesome, but in a much "fantasy" meaning, in a "actual armour" meaning iron is hard to beat, maybe padded can

[long peak]

in my last run i had just 12 level of bows and i didnt died when i get to mountains

[long peak]

i realy need that damn bow skill buff

[heady parcel]

I have only died to environment this run. Fall damage (built a high ass tower) four times and lava three times.

[charred gale]

me personally just got absolutely bodied by a 2* skeleton

[long peak]

in my firstplay through i died to fall damage 3 times just while making a single building

[heady parcel]

Those bastards hit very hard on a fledgling viking, best avoid getting too close to them if at all possible.

[charred gale]

he is toast

[heady parcel]

Revenge is sweet

[long peak]

anyway guys imma go to sleep good night to everyone O7 O/

[charred gale]

3 more surtling cores and i can double my efficiency

I am still punishing the abomination race for past crimes, whenever I see one

mannn switching from flint to bronze axe is so precious

[pallid pawn]

same man

[vapid hearth]

I sometimes wish I could place wisp torches upside down so I can create lightposts across the Mistlands

[charred gale]

watching paint dry atm (boars taming)

[heady parcel]

I use wisp lights to mark shallows and narrow straights where I often sail. A corewood pole from the bottom and a wisplight on top, works as a buoy!

[vapid hearth]

Hmm, interesting, interesting 🤔
Thank you very much

[warm ridge]

This might be an odd question anyone know how to make the large yellow words appear with console commands? on yours and other screens? like * THE MASS IS MOVING * but not having to summon the boss for it

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think that's possible

[gray sand]

Smiffe said he needs more trolls in this chat.

[shy marlin]

I have arrived

[long peak]

ahahahha

[prime edge]

I’ve yet to test but can our grausten builds reach the same height as the ruined structures in the Ashlands? I believe our walls are a bit smaller than similar pieces found in the biome.

[gleaming bridge]

can the shield generator be dmgd by mobs

[long peak]

yeah

it can be broken by mobs

especialy askvin dont ask why

[heady parcel]

Yeah best bild it out of reach of melee mobs and line of fire of ranged ones. Then just make sure to kite the "#"#%#¤%& blobs away before they pop

[vapid hearth]

Why is it that chickens always, without fail, gravitate towards corners?

[light moat]

You can alleviate this by making circular pens for them 😁

[ancient merlin]

I thought my coop was just to small 😄 good to now that there is a reason for them always going into the corners

[empty nest]

Death Miskito death loops are fun!

[cloud fox]

Goodness, having entered the Ashlands for the first time; the enemies, the aesthetic, the somber music and tone, I can confidently say the Ashlands is by far the coolest and my personal favorite biome yet

[patent citrus]

Trying to recover items?

[patent citrus]

What gear do u have

[cloud fox]

For the longest time i was sticking with maxed fenris armor for the speed but after seeing how painfully unequipped it was for the ashlands, i swapped to level 3 carapace armor, and i'm also using a maxed skoll and hati as my main weapon

[nocturne wolf]

If you previously made a silver sword, make sure to bring it with you. It will deal more damage to charred than mistwalker while also costing less stamina.

[patent citrus]

Epic

[nocturne wolf]

Iron

[tacit crystal]

Correct.

[heady parcel]

Ugh, I like the mobility of the Asksvin suit, but I'm feeling the poor armour. Staggered even when parrying a starred asksvin

Need to get more flametal

[empty nest]

I have three misketos camping my ass

[tacit crystal]

Did you have flametal shield or carapace buckler?

And enough HP to not get staggered as easily?

[nocturne wolf]

Your shield and health matter a lot more than armor for not getting staggered when blocking

But you don't have to parry everything you see

[gleaming bridge]

i dont really have a use for feather cape in aslands right?

isnt it mostly flat

[nocturne wolf]

It can help to get across lava or avoid some of the larger enemy attacks

Don't worry too much about the fire weakness. Barley wine overrides it and there aren't a ton of fire damage sources anyway

[near furnace]

I would look for alternatives 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

feather cape best cape

[near furnace]

any kind of touching lava is usually instant death 😄

[gleaming bridge]

the QOL is insane but if its mostly flat the fire exposure means i gotta have fire flask up always

i died as soon as i entered ashlands like 2 weeks ago and ragequit but got my stuff back now and read up on making a generator on where i plan on setting at first, happy now just gotta destroy their spawners

[tacit crystal]

No one can deny the usefulness of wind run buff of Asksvin cape.

[gleaming bridge]

the first mobs that attacked me were two one star archer skellies and a 2 star warrior skeleton

i got shit on by the skellies

[nocturne wolf]

Bring a silver sword and it will be their turn

[heady parcel]

flametal shield, lvl 2, and around 250 health. Just topped off with ashlands foods

[nocturne wolf]

The carapace buckler can parry better than the flametal shield

[heady parcel]

Shields are a bit more trusty in Ashlands since you are rarely dueling lone mobs, it is nice to be able to turtle

[nocturne wolf]

When parrying the asksvin did you get staggered after a successful block (you both staggered) or did it cause the block to fail? If the block failed, stronger armor won't do anything.

[gleaming bridge]

i have max lvl carapace shield and im full magic set up

[heady parcel]

I got the "ching" of a successful parry but still flailed my arms around. The asksvin was stunned too it seems, at least it didn't move. Allowed me to dodge away and do more of a slap'n dodge tactic

[gleaming bridge]

i killed the fucking morgen thing omfg

[vapid hearth]

Man, I hate when a jotun's skull is buried in bedrock
I may have to find a seeker soldier and have it use its ramming attack to reach the otherwise unreachable soft tissue buried there

[heady parcel]

I usually cut my losses and look for another one when that happens, a few more tissues not really worth all the hassle (and risk) of kiting a soldier around.

[tacit crystal]

Luckily ||Putrid holes|| also are another source for soft tissue.

[gleaming bridge]

im actually sweating

since we killed Queen my combo now is seeker aspic + mushroom + mistlands feast

a bit less stamina but i get more Hp and eitr

[fluid saffron]

I am only down 1 cube to get my first smelter!

[vapid hearth]

A swarm of three glyphids, among them a two star, somehow was able to survive that, but a sudden swarm of four regular glyphids, that was what did me in (all because I was desperately mining for stone to build a campfire). Nighttime SCARY

[vocal rivet]

Wtf is a glyphid?

[shy marlin]

I smell mods

[vocal rivet]

My first thought. Or it could be a translation issue.

[vapid hearth]

Oh, I meant to say Seekers

[shy marlin]

Ah

Yea nighttime mistlands is fun like that

[vapid hearth]

Yeah, I probably would've been able to take them on if I had my rested buff (frostner knockback MVP)

[vapid hearth]

I sometimes think of them as glyphids because they're giant bugs infesting mines, being fought off by dwarves

[acoustic cape]

guys i there a server of new people that i can play with them?

There's a bug with the audio engine that gets overwhelmed with the sounds in Ashlands particularly. A fix is in the works.

[broken kraken]

If i enable the map after playing no map will it show places i explored or a fresh map?

[tepid prawn]

I think though not 100% sure you will see explored places

[long peak]

guys am i wrong or the Deer and the bird only mobs that spawn more than 1 biome naturaly if we dont count night spawns after bosses

[long peak]

i would recomend trying mixed armor

[wintry valve]

if its any consolation, I also get staggered after parrying or blocking a starred askvin in flametal armor

The best defense against them is to walk circles around them while attacking

[long peak]

+1

btw to be honest there is no other mob giving a more hard time than askvin to me is this oversized necks are a bit too powerfull and agile ?

i couldnt be the only one

i heard that they dont spawn as groups of 3 but still think they could be a lot problematic

[golden creek]

||Any chance we'll be getting any new weapons, like a flametal aetgir with the following small updates|| ?

[tacit crystal]

||We don't know that, we will see then||.

Seems like new ||fist weapon|| at least, according to the pic revealed.

[long peak]

i am so hyped for it

[long peak]

İ suggested a final variant for all weapon types and variants if you are interested maybe you can upvote it :d

[tepid prawn]

I am reasonably sure one of the devs said they want to implement that, was more than a year ago though.

for the Deep North

[nimble moss]

Skeletons in both swamp and Black Forest.

Dverger in two biomes.

[tepid prawn]

aren't dvergr sort of slightly different between the 2 biomes?

[halcyon mason]

Some types of fish can be found in more than 1 biome and like skeletons,fulings,seekers and charred warriors can spawn in every biome when bonemass,yagluth,the queen and fader are defeated

Skeletons and druagers also spawn in some mountains structures

[halcyon mason]

Nope even haldor and hildir counts as a dvergers

[tepid prawn]

yeah but even code wise isnt that a different id for redbeards and normal ones etc?

I know they are dvergr but the normal ones cannot be found in Ashlands and the rebeards cannot be found in mistlands

[halcyon mason]

Ye the white haired and red haired i guess

[tepid prawn]

yeah that was what I meant

[halcyon mason]

Haldo counts as a red haired

They still have the same name tho , and the same faction

[warm jacinth]

FOR ROCK AND STONE!!!

[heady parcel]

I know that is a good way to maximise benefits - but mixed armours have a tendency to look downright silly... Also the set bonus of the Ask suit is nice for mobility and has kept me alive more than once, so until I have collected enough flametal to make the heavy armour Ask is what I use. I just need to remind myself that I'm not as tanky as I'm used to.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I've learned that now. That or just shooting them full of frost arrows so they never make it to melee range in the first place!

(also a valid strategy vs the big bony monstrosities)

[near furnace]

yes

[wintry valve]

frost arrows is a solution to pretty much every problems in this game

[halcyon mason]

Wdym

And why

[tacit crystal]

Frost arrows are good against enemies with resistance to pierce, plus frost damage slows enemies.

[wintry valve]

bows are extremely good when you take the time to raise the bow skill, and frost arrows are excellent for the reasons stated above

[halcyon mason]

Not really , best way to level up bows fast is using wood arrows vs bone mass while standing above his spawn

[halcyon mason]

Good point

[wintry valve]

I think you got confused with what I said

[tacit crystal]

Vinny didn't say raising skill with frost arrows, just stated leveling it has huge benefit for using bows.

[halcyon mason]

Every elemental damage arrows are good vs pierce ressitance mobs

[wintry valve]

Im not saying frost arrows are good for leveling. I mean frost arrows are good for killing. Bows are just really strong at a high skill levels. That + frost arrows = dead stuff.

Only frost arrows slow down enemies tho

[heady parcel]

Best way to level any skill is to just use them, I have zero patience to grind something without actually doing anything, just for skill points. Just can't do it. The one exception being when I get a skelly raid, I use that to raise block skill a few points.

[halcyon mason]

Ye understandable now my bad

[wintry valve]

and... eh... I dunno but I didnt think of using fire arrows when I was chucking frost arrows all over the place.

I wonder how many enemies are fire resistant in the ashland

[halcyon mason]

But the fastest and easiest way is always the best

[wintry valve]

I leveled up my bow skill using a finewood bow against loxes

[halcyon mason]

Use Silver arrows ?

[wintry valve]

does silver arrows slow down enemies?

[tacit crystal]

I think all of them are at least resistant.

[halcyon mason]

Fire arrows are useless after mountains

[tacit crystal]

No.

[wintry valve]

Then I dont see why I would use those

[tacit crystal]

They're okay against Lox and Growths.

[halcyon mason]

Nope but frost arrows doesnt slow like a frostner

[heady parcel]

Best is relative, fastest might not actually be the same as best in all cases. To each their own though, guys who can disengage their conscience and grind something for hours - good on you! 😄

[wintry valve]

Im sure you can understand the principal use of a bow compared to a hammer

[halcyon mason]

Ye i know but most of the other arrows are better

[wintry valve]

Im not comparing between weapo s im comparing between slow duration just meant frost arrows doesnt slow for a long duration

Does Alt+F4 still save the game?

[halcyon mason]

Yes

There should be upgraded fire arrows really, mountain tier - with higher base damage.

[wintry valve]

thats why you keep shooting them

[halcyon mason]

Maybe fire arrows craftable with tar can be better no ?
