valheim-chat

[ionic iron]

That's kinda wild, thanks. Maybe I can force close with Task Manager to prevent?

[wintry valve]

you dont shoot a frost arrow and then switch to a different one for its "duration". You just spam it until the thing stops moving

At high skill level, you can shoot arrows really quickly

[halcyon mason]

Ye just wait dont close steam for a bit after closing valheim for like 5 mins

[heady parcel]

Or maybe simply the same base as frost arrows - Obsidian arrows plus resin makes fire arrow+.

[halcyon mason]

I would use less silver arrows cuz i dont have any problem with fast enemies good point anyway

[halcyon mason]

I guess that will be op since fire arrows are already useful in mountains

[wintry valve]

I mean when was the last time you saw a two star charred warrior?

you'll be glad to have them frost arrows

[heady parcel]

Yesterday, and I only noticed he was two-starred very late. Was quite a scare...

[wintry valve]

Btw, if you are faced with an enemy that hits really hard, bonemass power does wonders

[halcyon mason]

1 week it was with 2 two stars charred twitchers i killed them with a thunder mace and shield

[heady parcel]

Bonemass+ratatosk+run like a brave Sir Robin!

[wintry valve]

Im surprised you could block them. I cant block a two star warrior

[halcyon mason]

Only bonemass for parry XD

[halcyon mason]

Bonemass power the most op thing in valheim

With some perfect parry timing , warriors are a bit tricky in some attacks but still not hard to deal with

[heady parcel]

It's my oh-shit combo to get away when I end up aggroing half the map. The other day I had like 6-8 charred, two asksvins, a few blobs and TWO morgen after me at one point. I did not stick around to face them all...

[halcyon mason]

I love that one i just use bonemass and kite around when the blobs come closer i wait for the bursting time and dodge

[heady parcel]

Warriors do some damn feint when attacking that often throws my parry off

[wintry valve]

I mean, I couldnt even parry two stars, and that was with flametal shield and armor

[halcyon mason]

Morgens and asksvins can hit other mobs and them selves

[halcyon mason]

Blocking level low ? I blocked it with only 20 levels on my blocking skills

[wintry valve]

Its actually pretty easy to figure out. Warriors attack with two possibling timing. You can parry both times. This aint dark soul where parrying punished you if you mess up

[halcyon mason]

Ye if ur stamina/health are low u get stugerred and cant parry most of the hits

[wintry valve]

Perhaps, its been a while I tried. Lets just say I didnt like it when it happened. Its also possible my food bonus was inadequate.

They pretty much one shotted me at the time.

[halcyon mason]

Yes they deal a lot of damage even with bonemass power

Like 40+ or something

[wintry valve]

two stars warriors deal about 300 damage

[halcyon mason]

I found a 2 stars morgen couldnt parry anything even with bonemass i only parried his rolls

[halcyon mason]

Thats without bonemass

[wintry valve]

I guess

[jade star]

Hello

[halcyon mason]

I had padded armor and level 2 black metal shield and bonemass activated and couldnt parry 2 stars fuling berserk he dealt 180 damage oneshoting me XD

[halcyon mason]

Hello there

[wintry valve]

Cant wait to get into the icezone and have enemies there deal 400 damage

[tacit crystal]

General Kenobi.

[wintry valve]

I never liked that kind of scaling in games. Its something I am critical of Elden Ring too. I mention that just because I played it recently.

[halcyon mason]

Some youtubers said that the devlopers talked about mobs in deepnorth that are taller than every existing boss and mob in valheim is that true ?

[wintry valve]

I dunno I havent played the upcoming update

[halcyon mason]

What does this mean ?

[heady parcel]

Still haven't come across one of those with stars. Hope I never do...

[halcyon mason]

How the hell are anyone supposed to play the upcoming update if its not released yet XD

[wintry valve]

I mean why are you asking me for info on it. I know as much as you do.

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message

[halcyon mason]

Its not a big deal when its in a putrid hole

Use them for a lot of things

[halcyon mason]

True

[jade star]

yoo where can i find mates to play this game?

[tacit crystal]

Depending on your progress, they are needed for some early and some later crafting recipes.

[wintry valve]

Morgens are another monster you can just walk around while they are slowed down

[tacit crystal]

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

[jade star]

i bought it last year and played like 4-5hrs and now i want to get back into it

[halcyon mason]

Ye yull need more for a mistlands bow and somethings else in ashlands like shield generatore and asksvin skull

[jade star]

thanks

[tacit crystal]

Umm, have you watched Star Wars?

[halcyon mason]

I hate that movie XD

Whenever i find it i just change the channel

[wintry valve]

I find it hella wild we have a shield generator in valheim. You know, like how the vikings made them back in the days. What are we going to get next? Viking ballistic missiles? Airplanes? Cable TV?

[tacit crystal]

I referred that line from a moment from 3rd episode that has become a huge meme.

[halcyon mason]

Sadly i dont know it

[halcyon mason]

There is a lot of things that vikings didnt have that are on valheim

Nope

[tacit crystal]

It can be sold to traders.

[halcyon mason]

I thought u meant it has a good price XD

[tacit crystal]

It gives the least amount of coins of all valuables in game.

[rain flare]

It is valuable, but the least valuable 😅

[halcyon mason]

You can see the price on it anyways i guess its sold for 5 gold coins only and stacks at 20 it just takes space in my inventory i rarely keep it

Fishing bait

[rain flare]

So you want to know about stuff other than meganjord?

[halcyon mason]

Thunder stone also

[tacit crystal]

Ackstually.☝️

[heady parcel]

Build stacks so they don't clog up storage

[rain flare]

I would definitely agree with fishing bait
It makes life so much easier once you learn how to fish properly and catch some good troll or plains fishies

[tacit crystal]

Fishing bait is also ingredient needed for other baits.

[halcyon mason]

I would rather pur a wood chest that hold 10 stacks than to put a whole 10 stacks in the ground

[robust iris]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-wanna-play-among-us-wanna-play-gif-22388225

[rain flare]

Thunder stone is just the obliterator

[robust iris]

;(

[halcyon mason]

Food

And some meads

[rain flare]

At the moment, it is helpful cause certain fish can be turned into very tasty meads - like trollfish turning into a strength potion

[tacit crystal]

Getting food, ingredients for some meads, trying to catch biggest possible for decoration, for ||Fishing hat||.

[halcyon mason]

Its pretty close to the lox pie

[rain flare]

Extra carry weight

Another is that plains fishy - it is used in a mead that prevents deathsquitos from attacking you

[halcyon mason]

And yes obtain every fish in game so u can craft the fishing hat that is i guess useless cuz i never crafted it

[tacit crystal]

Fish wraps is good food if you don't have Serpent stew.

[rain flare]

And there is one other fishy mead that makes you swim better

[heady parcel]

Depends on your real estate. I generally prefer to put things in chests. But at some point I ran out of space to make more chests, so building a bone pillar outside saved a chest for other things...

[rain flare]

Moderately - metal is better

[halcyon mason]

Iron better stone pillars sucks

Stone 1 by 2 wall can go higher than the stone pillars i guess maybe 15 pieces and iron support it to 24 pieces (miters)

Whats scaffolding im bad on english is it the roof ?

Use 26 degrees

Harder to understand and translate XD ill use google

[rain flare]

Scaffolding is typically a thing you put around the building so you can climb higher up and build nicely

[halcyon mason]

Then ull just slide off

[rain flare]

It’s essentially a platform to stand on

Use normal woofer beams or wooden floor boards

[halcyon mason]

Aaaah so its like temporary platform to help in building ?

[rain flare]

Woofer beams 😂
Eish autocorrect…

[rain flare]

Exactly! 🥳

You can place them anywhere 👍

[halcyon mason]

Ye then just use wood stair

Or ladders better

[keen sequoia]

i forget Haldor has a lox sometimes and my portal to him is set up in a place that everytime i go through my screen is covered by the lox. starles me sometimes

[loud cliff]

does anyone know why i cant summon the elder? i brought 3 seeds to the alter and clicked the button with the seeds on the alter and got The Elder buff but no seeds used or boss spawned

[heady parcel]

Sounds weird. Using any mods?

[peak depot]

I swear im missing some food items for early game foods

[heady parcel]

How early, Black Forest?

[peak depot]

Yea, I have the Cauldron and found carrots and blueberries

Need more copper and such for the mead stuff but its in the works

[keen sequoia]

u picked raspberries right?

[peak depot]

Obviously yea

[heady parcel]

Beehives, you have honey?

[peak depot]

Yep

[keen sequoia]

maybe check the wiki for any items u havent picked up

[peak depot]

Made some boar jerky

[heady parcel]

Then you should have it all. There aren't that many foods at that point. Deer Stew, boar jerky, carrot soup, cooked fish, minced meat sauce is about it out of memory

[peak depot]

B. Jerky/Carrot soup/D. Stew/Minced Sauce/Queens Jam.

Thats what i have access to but i feel like it should be much more

[heady parcel]

Not at that point, no

You need swamp stuff (and thistle) for the following foods.

Ohyeah I forgot about the jam, almost never make that since it burns so fast

[peak depot]

Found plenty of that Thistle but didn't unlock anything. Must need something else too I supposed

[heady parcel]

Yeah once you head into the swamps you get the next stage

[peak depot]

Well think i'm far far from that point then... Still needing to get loads of Bronze for stuff

And of course a troll has to crop up

[toxic swift]

Does the game still suffer from it's weird p2p networking system?

[weary egret]

when will we be able to build may poles?, we're nearing june so should be soon right?

[rain flare]

If memory serves yes

[tacit crystal]

Midsummer Eve is in late June.

[rocky barn]

Is there a timeline/release date planned for the deep north and other updates?

[charred rune]

Soon™

[rocky barn]

Soon as in, in the next 3 months soon or this year soon xD. Asking because we want to start another run with the friend group, but would like to have the deep north and other additional things they might add included

[charred rune]

Soon as sometime in the future.

[rocky barn]

Can we start a new world, and then when the deep north update drops we can load that part in or would it be better to wait and start a new save when the full update has dropped

[nocturne wolf]

1.0 will bring new content to existing biomes and a new playthrough will be the best way to experience that

[charred gale]

Cold

[charred gale]

I hope its a lot of new stuff

[sinful fulcrum]

That or minimally explore all other biomes

[charred gale]

Even new terrain could be cool

[sinful fulcrum]

So that when 1.0 drops u can still keep ur base and explore what u haven’t explored

[charred gale]

Which makes me ask, did they at any point of the games development since 2021 update terrain generation in meadows

Because in my old world, which ive played for nearly 300 hours on since 2021, hes drastically different landscapes compared to newer worlds

The new worlds have rivers and ravines and more hills whereas the old one seems to be slightly bumpy at most

Could just be the seed I suppose

[rain flare]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202263390056357928/1367021250878115851/neckwhen.gif?ex=68355840&is=683406c0&hm=76ad8468dd7df32daa1fb67d03ea16f8c58a892573ce4fd3863c5cc3287588e5&

Basically, we don’t know when the update is coming
The dev’s are not locking themselves into a fixed release date

You can see their progress in #news and gauge a general progress for them

[azure yacht]

You can find that info here #news

[rain flare]

You can certainly do this 🥳

Just stay away from the northern part of the map so you don’t generate unfinished map space

[near furnace]

nope

[halcyon mason]

surprising updates

[near furnace]

yup

or we annouce them when we can say for 100% it is comming without any delays

[nimble moss]

You could teach Studio Wildcard a thing or two... its a meme for them at this point to announce a date and then push it back no less than 4 times, one of them the day before

[chrome badge]

Studio Wildcard is famously bad 😅

[quiet gorge]

Can I get a idea of how much harder it is to kill the elder compared to the elk boss ?

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr is weaker than a regular enemy from the next biome, The Elder is not.

[quiet gorge]

So the elder will spank me, got it

[nocturne wolf]

Only if you're unprepared

[rain flare]

Rule 1 for beating Valheim:
preparation

[manic finch]

Eikthyr is a fist fight, Elder is a battle

[lilac wagon]

The old man constantly being woken up from his nap

[quiet gorge]

Any pointers? Me and my friend are getting our butt's kicked in the swamp and I just learned of the wish bone thing

[manic finch]

Black Forest and the Elder are your current progression, other stuff would be trying to skip ahead

[tacit crystal]

Don't venture too much swamp yet, Elder drops an essential item to progress swamp properly. Look out for vegvisirs in burial chambers or stone ruins with lots of greydwarves.

[quiet gorge]

I appreciate the help guys ❤️

[tacit crystal]

In the mean time, you could make some preparations for venturing into swamps next. ||Poison resistance mead|| is very helpful there, and you can already ferment some while looking out for Elder location.

[hardy tree]

Heyo gamers, is DN the next patch to actually release? I was under the impression extension patches to earlier biomes primarily the ocean, and other small things were to come inbetween ashlands and deepnorth. That'd give a bone to bite on and prolong their ability to produce the best 1.0 any games probably every offered.

[tacit crystal]

We do get smaller combat focused update before DN. There is no timeline for them tho.

And it is not 100% sure but iirc they want to add something to previous biomes too in 1.0 update, but that will remain to be seen. Following https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 can give some hint how the process is going.

[hardy tree]

oh thats all awesome news, thank you. So excited to see this game at full strenght when its already so freakin good

[tiny tiger]

The combat update is providing an armor set to one of the biomes already in the game too

[rain flare]

What is your current setup?
How are you tackling the biome in terms of general strategy?

[sinful fulcrum]

Learn to dodge, melee him like a man

You can use bow with fire arrows but it will be annoying, you will see

[white pawn]

Any advice for Mistlands first time?

[tacit crystal]

Have your wisplight with you, learn to take it in slower pace and listen to noises.

[hearty hatch]

a what

[tacit crystal]

An item that helps you ||clear mist around you|| in Mistlands.

[hearty hatch]

oh

is that the biome right after the plains or?

[white pawn]

yeah mans

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, after Plains. You get the drop from Plains boss.

[hearty hatch]

spoilers ;-;

[white pawn]

bouta turn mistlands into a freak off

[rain flare]

Best advice is the same you should use for all biomes

Have an escape plan, plan your ventures carefully, and make sure you bring goodies with you to refresh your rested buff

[hearty hatch]

i haven't gone past the plains yet

[tacit crystal]

Gotta be careful when reading things here if you want to avoid spoilers.

[hearty hatch]

i've been busy with studies lately to play any videogames

[rain flare]

Also, mistlands has a tendency of making you walk onto tall structures with no clear idea of how far you are off the ground

So be careful neh?

[white pawn]

mmm sound advice appreciate it

[rain flare]

I would actually recommend learning how to pathfind without that ||wisplight||.

The creature in that biome can’t see you if you can’t see them due to the mist

Learn when being covered in fog is to your advantage and when you need to turn on the lights

[tacit crystal]

Understandable, we all have our busy life with work etc. However, game has been out since 2021 and first biome update since late 2022 so it's not spoilers for most people who has played long time.
So best advice to avoid spoilers is not reading too much from here or elsewhere.

[hearty hatch]

Guys answer me without spoiling too much
Will the mistlands have something new that's not present in the previous biomes?

[patent citrus]

Yes

[tacit crystal]

Oh yeah, you will see.

[rain flare]

Uhm…
Yes!

[hearty hatch]

awesome

[white pawn]

nice

[rain flare]

I mean…
All other biomes do that, so not sure why you ask to at question my friend 😅🥰

[patent citrus]

Guys, do totems respawn?
I feel like there's only a limited amount of time you can fight Yagluth in a world?

[hearty hatch]

not really. all previous biomes had somewhat similar progression, gear and enemies

[tacit crystal]

They don't respawn.

[patent citrus]

Do berserkers have a chance of dropping totems?

But they're also only available at Fuling Camps, and they don't respawn either 🥹

[hearty hatch]

are you talking about the fuling totems?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, they are somewhat limited enemies, they can spawn in 2 raids however.

[patent citrus]

Yes

[rain flare]

You need to specify man 😂
“Will the next biome have some new that isn’t in the other biomes”

That question is open ended with too many potential answers

[patent citrus]

My base is in Meadows and I've never had a fuling raid

[tacit crystal]

There is also ||miniboss raid||.

[keen zenith]

hey

[patent citrus]

Never had him either 🥹
Yes I've defeated him, but not returned the chest

[hearty hatch]

what do you do with the fuling totems. i don't seem to find a crafting recipe of them.

[tacit crystal]

But yeah, them berserkers are quite limited, they should spawn in Plains during night.

[patent citrus]

Really??

[hearty hatch]

is that the name of the plains boss?

[keen zenith]

Where can I find the building parts from the game in FBX format?

[tacit crystal]

They don't but I think they should.

[patent citrus]

I hope that doesn't count as a spoiler

[rain flare]

It does 😅

[hearty hatch]

it sounds like an old eldritch being

[patent citrus]

But he's already in Plains so that's ok ig 🥺
I'll delete for the other folks

[rain flare]

Just hide it ||like this||

[hearty hatch]

it's ok
i'm already in the plains

[patent citrus]

dlted

[rain flare]

He kinda is 😅

All of the forsaken are 👆

[hearty hatch]

Ah

[patent citrus]

Will we see Dvergrs in the Deep North 🤔

[carmine sapphire]

is there a way to skip the mountains boss?

I know of ways to skip the earlier ones

[tacit crystal]

I wish not, I'd like to feel alone for a change.

[hearty hatch]

no can do

[patent citrus]

Sadly no

[carmine sapphire]

Ive killed like 10 this week and dont think Ive seen any totems 😭

[hearty hatch]

i think it(they?) drops tears that you need for a special workbench

[tacit crystal]

Moder is only boss that locks out a lot of progression for future materials.

[sinful fulcrum]

Just keep exploring plains

[patent citrus]

Understandable, the drop rate is already low, and the mob is rare ✋🏻😐🤚🏻

[carmine sapphire]

arent the next 2 also kinda unskippable if you want certain items?

[sinful fulcrum]

You will find at least camps with 2-3 totems

[hearty hatch]

the plains biome is really special for what it provides (excluding that ||deathsquito||)

[carmine sapphire]

yeah I have totems, I just havent seen them drop from berserkers is what I meant

[rain flare]

No - that is a hard lock

[sinful fulcrum]

Berserkers are greedy big goblins

[patent citrus]

Next, yes
Next to next?
Debatable

[sinful fulcrum]

Not gonna give totems easily

[carmine sapphire]

I already have ||totems||, raw ||black metal||, a farm with ||the two crops|| and ||like 200 tar||
Just havent been able to craft anything cuz no moder yet

I'm trying to coordinate with 3 other people so we're all online at once to do moder

[tacit crystal]

You can go into ||Mistlands|| without the boss drop item, but it limits a lot more of your sight, and you can also get into ||Ashlands|| without the boss drop item too but it's much more dangerous.

[sinful fulcrum]

You mean no moder like no boss stone?

[carmine sapphire]

I mean I have 2 portals that go straight to her altar with a chest full of ||dragon eggs|| but havent killed her yet

[sinful fulcrum]

Oh lol

[patent citrus]

Very easy boss 🥺

[carmine sapphire]

yeah but it locks you out of ||shield generator|| and ||mistwalker|| doesnt it

I guess thats less severe than moder

[tacit crystal]

Yes.

[patent citrus]

When Hervor Bloodtooth said "She's not the first to step foot" there, after witnessing ||Dverger Structures|| in the last two biomes is strange.

[tacit crystal]

You can ||cover portals under stone structures in Ashlands||.

[carmine sapphire]

do yall think we're getting the deep north before 2027

[patent citrus]

Definitely

[robust token]

We totally getting Deep North before GTA 6

[patent citrus]

I said the same thing but my msg got dlted T -T

[vocal rivet]

Of course.

[carmine sapphire]

what do you think the chances of DLC are after the game is finished

[tacit crystal]

Zero.

[hearty hatch]

lets hope

[acoustic cape]

guys what is latest version

[robust token]

That one with Ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Bog Witch is the latest content update.

[hearty hatch]

i think 0.220.4 no?

[robust token]

oh

[hearty hatch]

19 March 2025

[acoustic cape]

there is 0.220.5?

[hearty hatch]

hold on let me check

[vocal rivet]

#valheim-patchnotes

[hearty hatch]

oh yeah 0.220.5 adds

[acoustic cape]

ok ty

[hearty hatch]

np

[tacit crystal]

👌

[acoustic cape]

guys what mean with vanilla

[tacit crystal]

Vanilla = flavor, usually used in ice cream.

Jk, it means unmodded gameplay.

[fluid saffron]

Wooooooo beat my first boss yesterday, found 2 more trolls and have a smelter, now I just need to find copper cause apparently I cant do anything with tin

[tacit crystal]

Correct, you need copper first to be able to process both metals further.

[fluid saffron]

Aaaah that makes sense, it would make bronze

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but first ||forge||, which allows you to build ||cauldron|| and ||mead ketill|| to make ||better foods|| and ||mead bases|| and also craft bronze.

[rocky nebula]

i feel like eikthyr is the easiest to skip followed by bonemass then yagluth then elder idk bout queen and father

[shy marlin]

About right

We dunno how skippable Fader will be yet

[charred gale]

skippable?

[vocal rivet]

No boss is skippable really, as you'll have to kill them all to win the game.

[shy marlin]

Skippable in terms of can you go to the next biome without feeling too much pain

But this is just pedantic

[vocal rivet]

Oh no, I know what you mean, but that only really works while we don't have an endgame. Although I guess you don't have to win if you don't want to.

No, I don't think facts can be described as pedantry.

[shy marlin]

excessively concerned with minor details and rules

[vocal rivet]

The entire point of the game is a 'minor detail'?

[shy marlin]

Tbh valheim really isn't all that much about killing bosses, it's the journey

Like bosses are not even close to the hardest part of the game

[vocal rivet]

You're not wrong there.

[pliant hatch]

I wonder how much time those people who skip Eikthyr use to find that one log troll which will be able to mine them copper and tin.

Somehow I got the feeling it's taking them longer as it would take them to prepare and fight Eikthyr, just so they got the Antler pickaxe.......

[shy marlin]

That's missing the point tbh

It's not about time efficiency or w/e, it's about the challenge

[pliant hatch]

No it isn't.

If you skip Eikthyr you won't be able to mine any metal, unless you use the "troll mining" trick.

[restive warren]

do we have any slight clue when deep north might be?

[pliant hatch]

Yup, it'll be released at some point in the distant future.

[shy marlin]

Yes exactly, so most players who are skipping eik, have already done it the traditional way, and are looking for a new way to play the game to spice it up, and it's also more challenging

[pliant hatch]

Which then leads to: it will most likely cost more time to find that one log troll for the "troll mining trick" as it would take to fight Eikthyr.

[shy marlin]

Once again, it's not about time saving

[restive warren]

wow thats so soon! cant wait!

[shy marlin]

It's about playing the game in a new way

Sometimes troll mining can be a time save btw, it just depends

[last olive]

any builder able to help me out? tryna figure out how that floor behind the galdr table is made thats not marble floor is it?

[shy marlin]

Yea, you want rock trolls

[terse raft]

yesterday we made a new group to play together

and today they message me they wont play again. lol really..

[pliant hatch]

And the reason?

[terse raft]

they don't like my communication

😭

[pliant hatch]

Things like that can happen.

I assume you know where to look for people who may not have that "problem"?

[terse raft]

no idea ?

i wasn't looking.. just ended up responding to some girl message on a facebook valheim group

that she was looking to play with some people. i said why not, but i wasn't looking for that

just sad that this morning i did speak about our game yesterday and all and then nope.. its not hapening anymore

[vocal rivet]

Must have gone really well.

[terse raft]

thats the actual thing, it wasn't that bad. until the other dude came around

start bossing. and ended up im the one bossing around .but im the one hosting so i hope i can decide a few thing

[warm sandal]

in fact you are a beggar

[acoustic cape]

oh am not a begger

i work to get it

[carmine sapphire]

wdym by endgame btw?
Like I dont think killing the northern boss is going to require killing eikthyr

[vocal rivet]

The entire purpose of the game is killing all of the Forsaken.

[carmine sapphire]

it is?

[vocal rivet]

Um, yes...

[carmine sapphire]

I didnt know that

I assume "forsaken" means bosses

[vocal rivet]

The Forsaken are the 'bosses', yes.

[charred gale]

valheim is just such a chill game to just sink in to

[charred gale]

subjective

[vocal rivet]

Tell the devs that 😕

[nocturne wolf]

It’s what Hugin says as soon as you arrive

[charred gale]

everyone plays and experiences the game differently

i bet theres people who just chill and build and dont care about the bosses

[vocal rivet]

I'm sure there are.

[charred gale]

i mean, it depends on how you define purpose

[vocal rivet]

Oh, purpose has a very specific definition that isn't really subjective.

[nocturne wolf]

Chilling and building is optional, clearing the game will require killing every boss when 1.0 gives us an ending.

[charred gale]

if you mean it as the purpose of the story, sure i agree

the overall purpose of the game is up to each player to define for themselves

the game is very open ended

[nocturne wolf]

Only because it doesn’t have an ending yet

[vocal rivet]

It really, really, isn't. It's actually quite linear.

[charred gale]

to you the purpose might be clearing the game and therefore killing every boss, to other players it could be just building a really cool house

[shy marlin]

the games purpose is for you to kill all of the bosses, whether you want to do that or not is up to you

[charred gale]

how do you define purpose

[shy marlin]

both "sides" are right in their own fashion, and i agree with both tbh so i don't have much of an opinion

[charred gale]

purpose of the story within the game, sure, like i said i agree with that

[vocal rivet]

Then why the fuck are you arguing?

[shy marlin]

I'm not arguing i'm just weighing in?

[charred gale]

what are you so upset about

[vocal rivet]

Of course you can play the game any old way you enjoy, and I'd never stop anyone doing that.

[vocal rivet]

I clearly didn't mean you. I'd never bother arguing with you.

[charred gale]

maybe count to ten big man

[vocal rivet]

I wasn't even the one to start the argument.

[charred gale]

youre the one who decided to get all hostile because i disagree with you lol

[vocal rivet]

Where was the hostility?

[charred gale]

now we are playing dumb got it

[vocal rivet]

OK, just going to block you and move on with my life now.

[charred gale]

beat me to it

[carmine sapphire]

I presume this is the hostility being referred to

[azure yacht]

doesn't change the fact that killing the bosses is the main purpose of the game. idk why you would argue this

[vocal rivet]

Oh, that was right at the end. They'd pushed me to it by that point.

[charred gale]

wdym pushed 😭

all i did was disagree with you and you took it personally

[earnest musk]

I hope you're not in america. this would be a terrible way to spend memorial day.

[charred gale]

how would you define purpose

do i need to start using tone indicators so people can understand im not trying to piss them off and that im genuinely interested in having a civil conversation

[azure yacht]

the main story of the game in this case

[charred gale]

i really dont know what i did to offend derek here

[charred gale]

i agree with you that its 100% the purpose of the story

[shy marlin]

@charred gale are you a bossless progression enjoyer?

[charred gale]

not really but im sure theres people who only play the game to build

[charred gale]

but saying that its the "entire purpose of the game" feels kinda shallow because theres so much more to the game than just the bossfights

[azure yacht]

way of playing the game =/= actual main story/purpose of the game

[charred gale]

calling it the entire purpose of the game doesnt really work for me

[nocturne wolf]

Main objective is probably a better way of putting it

[shy marlin]

^

[charred gale]

i can get behind that

i just think that calling killing the bosses the "entire purpose" just disregards every other aspect

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, maybe that would have worked better. I think they'd still argue the toss over it though.

[shy marlin]

ig you could argue that all activities, eventually lead to killing the bosses, so if you look at it that way killing bosses is the entire point

All water leads to the ocean ahh scenario

[charred gale]

maybe

[charred gale]

youre allowed to think that

[gray cairn]

Pedantic drama is this server's bread and butter at this point.

We need deep north soon lma8

[charred gale]

haha for real

if you dare disagree with people they wanna crucify you

[lusty moon]

Hii guys 🥹
Do you know if furniture and decorations or other types of objects will be added to existing materials? Sorry for asking here

[quasi latch]

There hasn't been an announcement for or against this, to my knowledge.

[tacit crystal]

Don't be sorry. We don't know if devs add more furniture yet, probably in DN update.

[quasi latch]

I scrolled through the conversation and saw the word "blocked" in one of Derek's messages. Sigh, here we go again

[gray cairn]

"Probably, but not for sure" is my guess, but I'm a rando idk anything.

[pliant hatch]

That's only because he isn't good at parrying.......

[gray cairn]

Same.

[quasi latch]

Maybe he's just a tower shield kinda guy

[pliant hatch]

Oh, he certainly don't like those.
I think it's the timing. Probably because of being in another time zone and all that.

[acoustic cape]

how to know the ip of my server guys

[lusty moon]

Ok thanks 🥹

[quasi latch]

So, what was this argument about?
Ooh, skipping bosses. 6 of 7 are, in fact skippable:

• Eithkyr: use trolls to mine for you
• Elder: glitch into crypts with a chair
• Bonemass: prospect with a 2-handed club
• Yagluth: pull a massive Bubzia in Mistlands
• Queen: a number of funny methods to get feather cape flight or cheese building mechanics, see message below from Scales
• Fader: nothing to gain

[gleaming bridge]

can i farm vineberries anywhere?

[pliant hatch]

Other than collecting them in Ashlands, you mean?

Yes, when you get the seeds from gathering the berries in Ashlands, you can plant them "against" wall in your base.

[gleaming bridge]

omg thats amazing

@pliant hatch should i just build a tall s tructure then? not sure how this exactly works also only got 6 seeds

i assume i can use the cluster to farm more seeds

[shy marlin]

Queen is skippable

[pliant hatch]

I haven't tested it to the fullest yet, but you will need a wall of about 12m high to get the benefits of it. PLanting is also a bit tricky, as you can't place them directly close to the wall, but need to have a bit distance between the sapling and the wall.

One thing I've seen somebody doing, is raising a dirt wall to its max, then use stone walls to "cover" that dirt wall and plant the berries against that.

Just keep in mind you will need some distance between the berries as well, so using a 4m wide wall for one berry may be a good distance.

[quasi latch]

How would you get to Ashlands without the ||artisan table upgrade||?

[gleaming bridge]

thank you Thorin

[pliant hatch]

Longboat and building workbenches for repairs on spikes works.
It's also possible to jump from one spike to another if you're lucky.

[shy marlin]

There’s quite a few methods

Longship sail spike to spike to shore, feather cape and get hit by a stone golem on a mountain, clip out of a dungeon with feather cape and glide to Ashlands, and many more

[quasi latch]

All right then

[shy marlin]

Also on elder, plenty of sources for iron, mistlands (seeker soldier mining or aqueduct), plains has sealed towers, and mountains has a small amount of iron in frost caves

[quasi latch]

Yeah, that also works

[vocal rivet]

I'm not a shield guy, no.

[pliant hatch]

Well, I do hope your parrying improves over time, so you don't have to block all the time. 😉

[terse raft]

you got that right

i build and chill, bosses can wait a long while, ive never done Mist Land myself

never even beated the 5th boss

i was in game twice that they killed it already so i wasn't there

[carmine sapphire]

Is it weird to run 2 stamina foods most of the time? Mostly switch for bosses

[quasi latch]

Nope. That's what's called a HSS build, and it's very common along with HHS

[vocal rivet]

Plenty of people run HSS, depends on your playstyle.

[fluid saffron]

Is it normal to find the black forest to be fucking tiny compared to the meadows?

[fluid saffron]

I usually do the same because Im running around so much

[quasi latch]

It's a procedurally generated world, so sometimes. You might need to sail, or at the very least explore the main island more.

[carmine sapphire]

I usually try to run along the coast of each island to figure out the shape

Small BFs are not rare, but IME most starting islands have a lot of BF, there probably another bigger one on the same island

[long peak]

yeah

[fluid saffron]

I hope so, I need more burial grounds as I cant build a kiln as it sits right now, I have to make coal by burning meat

[carmine sapphire]

while running along the coast, I often look outwards to see if I can spot other islands on the horizon and mark them on the map

[quasi latch]

Build a kiln, smelt coal, deconstruct, build a smelter, smelt metal, deconstruct, repeat

[fluid saffron]

Why does my fire randomly go out?

[quasi latch]

Add wood to it

[long peak]

it could be due to smoke ventilation absence ?

[quasi latch]

They'd probably have died from the smoked effect at that point

[fluid saffron]

It has 10 wood and I have a chimney that goes two past my thatch roof and is topped with a cover via floor, the side of it is not blocked to allow ventilation

[tacit crystal]

Smoke needs room to get out, you need to make something like chimney.

[quasi latch]

Hm, throw a screenshot of it in #valheim-help

[fluid saffron]

It does indeed have it, give me just a moment

[tacit crystal]

Taking a screenshot would definitely help to see what could be wrong.

Either posting it to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977

[long flame]

Hey

[long peak]

is it solved ?

[long flame]

I'm new to valheim so I'm glad this server exists

[tacit crystal]

Welcome to the server. 👋

[long peak]

just send a screenshot to valheim help we could help maybe

[peak depot]

Youtube and the wiki lied to me

This copper vien is fully disconnected from all other ground and its still floating

[long peak]

ahhahahahahhaha

[quasi latch]

It's basically impossible to consistently pop those without mods to see the weirdass bounding box. It's highly unintuitive.

[peak depot]

So dig out larger

[quasi latch]

You can more than likely pop it in chunks by disconnecting portions from the main blob, though.

[quasi latch]

Even that is of dubious efficacy.

[long peak]

yeah i usualy ıse that

ı

[peak depot]

#screenshots

[long peak]

oh i am not getting banned by ı i am so happy now

[quasi latch]

Yep, that's pretty normal unfortunately

[fluid saffron]

Not yet fighting for my life

[warm sandal]

I did dig out bronze about 2 times in all the time playing. mostly I think it is not worth the effort there is more than enough around to just take what is up top and move on to the next. Never had a problem just doing that. But well.. I guess if one loves digging stuff up... if it makes people happy 😄

[peak depot]

I NEED ALL OF IT

[quasi latch]

Mine individual chunks out then

[fluid saffron]

I have officially entered the bronze age, now to make a swird and an atgeir whatever that is

[long peak]

😄 use its secondary on a troll when you have a safe chance just saying talking about the atgeir

[peak depot]

As opposed to what? lmao thats the only thing there is to mine

[long peak]

guys how did no body made a two handed weapons only challenge howw

it would have been interesting

[tacit crystal]

I have ongoing one.

[long peak]

i am planing to make myself a challenge run this summer

[long peak]

ha ha a true viking that before me :d

[long peak]

Just for now planing to
hard difficulty combat multiplier until ashlands (1.5)
no boses or boss items first boss to kill is going to be Fader
no boss power as you could guess
small starting island
only two handed weapons
and could be interesting to add ideas :d

maybe its too much for a singular challenge i am not sure

[fluid saffron]

Theres no two handed weapon at the start of the game?

[long peak]

no there is bows and Sledge

does not bows count as two handed ?

[tacit crystal]

Stagbreaker.

[tacit crystal]

Technically yes, but I banned them in my run.

[long peak]

btw i am not going to abuse bows i am not much of a bow guy after 1300 hours i have nearly have 60 at all weapons and 50 on bows

[long peak]

i don't know how i can fight against some flying enemies

[tacit crystal]

I allowed spear throws.

[long peak]

would be great if you have a idea maybe sledges could work

[fluid saffron]

Sledge? I just entered the bronze age and havent seen one

[long peak]

oh now thats a interesting idea just using spears secondary only

[long peak]

you didnt find stagbreaker usualy most people abuse it in dungeons

[tacit crystal]

It requires corewood, deer trophies and leather scraps.

[long peak]

i think i give it a chance i didnt use spears a lot after my first run

[tacit crystal]

Yeah that I have used as my ranged option, to spice up a bit.

But no bows, not sure about crossbows yet.

[long peak]

its sounds hard so i am interested :d

but i could change my idea later

i usualy using spears only to avoid crude bow and troll hunting

[tacit crystal]

Had to see my notes for the run:

• 2 handed weapons for melee only
• Spear for ranged only
• No armor that gives movement speed penalty
• No shields

[long peak]

yeah its automaticaly no shields

i wana say something ironic i didnt use bronze and iron armor ever

[tacit crystal]

And obviously no dual wielded weapons even thought they count as 2 handed weapon types in game.

[long peak]

OHHH ITS INCLUDES ROOT SETS TOO ?

NO NO NO NO

its my favorite set

how many sets even there

[tacit crystal]

Sacrifices must be made lol.

[long peak]

troll fenris and askvin i assume

any other ?

[tacit crystal]

Basically 2 per biome, except Plains has 1 and Ashlands 3.

[quasi latch]

Now that you have the blob isolated, start mining little cracks to separate the blob into smaller blobs

[tacit crystal]

Helmets are allowed, since they don't restrict movement speed.

[long peak]

btw i am a light set player i was thinking like i should use heavy armor as a diffuclty :d

[long peak]

yeah i abuse it a lot btw :d ahahahahh

[quasi latch]

That sounds like a painful amount of mining lol

[tacit crystal]

I thought about a skirmisher type playstyle with 2 handers.

[long peak]

ahahahhahahah i am litteralt not using heavy armor for not mining

[long peak]

what does skirmisher means

its feels so epic btw only two handed its sounds so bad ass

[tacit crystal]

Kinda like light infantry.

[long peak]

maybe i should avoid using bonefires and campfires too

[long peak]

oh

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe has become slowly my favorite weapon in swamps at least. I crafted it first with my first batch of iron I mined in that run lol.

[long peak]

i think it just kill the all meaning of the challenge

btw i am planing to use trolls for wood chopping

[tacit crystal]

I used campfires for first leather scraps.

[long peak]

i hope i dont have hard time to find enough fine wood

[long peak]

yeah that could be reasoneable its just saving time

i was considering for abomination i still remebering my first time parrying them with my bronze buckler and litteraly chopping them down with my axe it was so epic and addictive

valheim doing so great the feeling of fighting with mystical creatures

[tacit crystal]

Friendly troll can help with that lol.

Oh and another twist: I plan go no deaths in that run too.

[long peak]

Yeah they are going to be have to work a bit more :d

maybe i can pay them with my atgeirs later 😄

i will need them to craft a bronze pickaxe too ;")

its going to my probably 3th time i am gona craft that :d

[quasi latch]

So you won't be able to sleep until you get a forge?

[long peak]

NOOO not like that as a weapon

btw i am usualy not sleeping just to get across more starred enemies but

i cant get pass the beautifull rested buff :d

[shy marlin]

rested is for chumps

[long peak]

OH HELL NAH

Dissagree

[tacit crystal]

Just thinking if I continue my 2 hander challenge run after the combat update. That new armor piece looks like it would fit really well for that run.

[shy marlin]

They mentioned a set bonus, i'm curious as to what it will be

[tacit crystal]

They did? I think I missed it.

[shy marlin]

yup

They also teased the icon for it on instagram

[charred gale]

If you dont play the game start to finish with no rested buff and constant wet + cold, you are NOT a real gamer and you do not deserve valhalla you filthy poser…

[tacit crystal]

But probably, being light armor (probably).

[tacit crystal]

Ah, the QA with Lisa.

Didn't pay too much attention to the background.

[shy marlin]

I do hope there will be a set bonus, but each piece still has some unique modifier, much like the root mask, harnesk, etc

Increases build diversity and options

[long peak]

i wish they add some interesting Pants

now i think about it it would be so broken if they added a ||sledge with ability of using elemental gems||

oh wait can mistlands mobs breake yggdrasil

[shy marlin]

yes

[carmine sapphire]

is it a plains light armor?

[long peak]

oh okkey looked at the wiki there is lots of way to get it i get a huge relief

[long peak]

no there isn't a one unfortunatly

[shy marlin]

We dunno, I suspect so, either light or medium set

[long peak]

oh are you was talking about the next update ?

[carmine sapphire]

yes

[long peak]

sorry i missunderstood

[carmine sapphire]

would be cool if plains got dungeons and a new armor

[long peak]

now i think about it root harnesk is the only armor piece that i use that have movement penalty

[carmine sapphire]

do y'all think they will eventually add magic to earlier biomes?

[long peak]

yeah but don't know i want a plains tier light armor too

[long peak]

i don't think so maybe a few stuff but not completaly

[carmine sapphire]

yeah I just mean something weak that can serve as a "tutorial" for it

[long peak]

it would harm the mistlands main thing

but i had a idea that have someting with cultist

it would be sooo interesting if they add something to cultist

that open early game magic i think it could fit like

The Wisidom of the wolf

but not sure they added fire staff and ice staff already in mistlands 😭

it could harm the experience

but i personaly rather

maybe a armor that crafts with Fenris fur and Red Jute

i wonder other players opinion about it maybe i should suggest

anyway good night everyone or morgen gjall :d

[charred gale]

I reaaally hope that they add some rly cool stuff in 1.0

They did call it a proper 1.0 package and im rly hyped

[rose parcel]

I don't think dungeons would fit well in the plains

[heady parcel]

Magic appearing in Mistlands fits the lore and the appearance of the special mushrooms and yggdrasil roots you can drain for sap. You need sap and fossilised jotun brains to refine eitr, I really can't see that being moved to earlier biomes in any way, shape or manner, especially since the earlier game is not balanced around magic being a thing. It's just not going to happen outside the realms of modding.

What I would hope for that is a little more realistic is a greater variety of points of interest in each biome, things like a greater variety of ruins, sometimes connected to dungeons, mini-bosses, maybe even a few more mobs. And maybe, just maybe some simple kind of cosmetics. Not thinking about transmog as in some other games, but for example you might find a rusted and broken sword in a burial chamber that lets you make your bronze sword with a certain look. No change to the stats, just visual variety.

Simply put, a little more incentive to keep exploring, to find fun stuff even after you have obtained what you need from a biome.

[sinful fulcrum]

anyone know why some items may not despawn in the ||ashlands||? not even constructed items (at least by me) #screenshots message

[heady parcel]

Oh, I wouldn't mind some form of tether to get a mount to STAY PUT after I dismounted...

[mortal oriole]

It would be easy enough for them to expand on the previous civilizations in Valhiem, with real cities to explore, not just static dilapitated villages

I have to fight Chokodai Tundra King!!!

[heady parcel]

Well, just one thing that would be cool would be the kind of draugr village you can run across in Meadows - but in the swamp. Half sunken, overgrown with moss, some different buildings, a bunch of starred draugr and mayhaps even a thuggish draugr mini-boss. That's just one thing, there's really no limit to what is possible. Really looking forward to DN and whatever it brings!

[azure yacht]

#suggestion-discussion message

#suggestion-discussion message

[azure yacht]

there's really no limit to what is possible

contrary to the literal limits that are already existing...

[heady parcel]

It's not a statement to be taken entirely literally, I think you get what I mean. It just means there's lots of various cool stuff they could do if they want and have time over besides the core DN stuff being made. Time and resources are limiting factors, so yeah, there are limits. But still...

As for me Ashlands is kicking my behind daily, conquering it will take me a good while. DN can take its time, I'm good 😄

[sinful fulcrum]

use root chest

giga chad power of the swamp (+barley wine for fire res)

[heady parcel]

Not even crafted that thing, it's not my style 😄

[fluid saffron]

I cant wait to make and try the new weapons, just gotaa hoof it back and forth across the meadows

[mortal oriole]

when will the release date be?

[tacit crystal]

No one knows yet.

[fluid saffron]

Oh Im talking about weapons already in game lol, this is my first playthrough and I just unlocked bronze

[azure yacht]

#news

[rocky nebula]

is there any way to place multiple charcoal kilns in one spot to make a mega kiln

did they patch the farm method for surtlings digging the spawner out

[quasi latch]

Nope

[quasi latch]

Scroll wheel to angle the doors to all face the same spot

[carmine sapphire]

can we sleep until nighttime?

trying to farm ||sea serpents||

[patent citrus]

Try

[merry pebble]

No, sleeping Is always till morning

Only at night and/or storm 🙂

[fluid saffron]

I appreciate so much how no one has spoiled me thus far on the game, the solo blind playthrough has been so satisfying

[gray sand]

No spoilers?
Well don't forget about the ||trees|| and the constant ||walking|| and the occasional ||jump|| that you need to deal with.

😏

[vocal rivet]

Mostly

[fluid saffron]

Now to find the boss of the black forest

[gray sand]

I believe in your ability to be the boss of the Black Forest.
Show all who oppose you the error of their ways.

[fluid saffron]

Oh I am absolutely feeling overconfident the only thing that has changed since the first is 2 more pieces of troll armor and bronze weapons

[tepid prawn]

4/4 troll and bronze weapons is god tier for black forest, troll can be upgraded to level 3 easily and is not much weaker then bronze armour, and doesnt slow you down, its great - also fine wood bow is a beauty and I love bronze weapons, a lot of variety to try out different ones as well

[fluid saffron]

Im using the funny looking bronze weapon, troll helmet, torso and pants, Im pretty sure a deer cape and a tower bone shield

[crude spindle]

I feel dirty using Devcommands to go rescue my stuff, but damnit Im too old and have 2 youngs kids, I can't spend all night sailing across the map lol, someone validate me lol

[shy marlin]

Games should be fun, if you're not having fun doing corpse runs and all that, then it's justified

Bottom line is your enjoyment, maximize it

[plush umbra]

any info on when deep north is out

[shy marlin]

no, all that we know is that it's sometime in the future, and that the next update is a combat update, not the deep north

[civic sorrel]

Anyone else feels like the sword is about to break everytime you swing it?

[vocal rivet]

What sword?

[civic sorrel]

Bronze Sword 😄

[vocal rivet]

Not particularly.

[civic sorrel]

The "SHLING" sounds makes it feel like I'm slicing it onto a big rock everytime I swing, makes me feel like it's breaching

[civic sorrel]

Does it mean easy mode is over?

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[civic sorrel]

Was replying to Scales lol

[shy marlin]

Not sure I understand either

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, but what easy mode?

[civic sorrel]

Combat update

[shy marlin]

Do you mean that the combat update means that the game will no longer be on easy mode?

[vocal rivet]

If anything it'll make it easier.

[shy marlin]

It could make it easier, it could make it more difficult, we'll just have to see

[vocal rivet]

If they've actually fixed sloped combat.

[hollow tundra]

I'm trying to join a friend but it's saying that I'm entering the wrong password when it is the correct password.

[civic sorrel]

Damn, the password boss got you

Game over

[hollow tundra]

Bruh

[vocal rivet]

Guess we'll never know.

[shy marlin]

That's okay i'm fine with that

[vocal rivet]

Lol.

[civic sorrel]

lol

That's what I meant yeah

Not sure how that was unclear though

[shy marlin]

Combat update could add new intricacies and skill expressions, it could also dumb the game down

[nimble moss]

Maybe get them to try a different password. Are they using any special characters or unicode char etc? Keep it relativelys simple and try again

[hollow tundra]

Already tried a different password. No special characters.

[nimble moss]

Have you ever joined this server before? VPN connection issues maybe?

[hollow tundra]

Yep we've been playing for about two weeks now

Both of our NAT types are open.

In the two years of playing I've never had this issue.

[civic sorrel]

Maaaaan, the wind changes direction with me AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

Always in my face

Any motor mods?

9.9 would be fine

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[civic sorrel]

Yeah that was a joke 😛

[tacit crown]

#joke-discussion

[long peak]

Now i have thinked about it a bit more like i said and you said adding magic to older biomes could harm the experience but what if we find a point of interest like you said that have a special mage item or maybe a staff of ember variant that you learn its location by dvergers and go there and take it ? maybe this could fit the job a lot better it can not add magic to older biomes but add special variatns and adds interesting quests ?

[tepid prawn]

They said something about sloped combat, which makes it easier for vikings to hit things, and for things to hit the vikings as well I'd say....

2 edged sword - might make it harder instead of easier to avoid certain attacks with god rocks etc as well depending on what exactly is in the combat update

[charred gale]

i love this game

[charred gale]

so itll also be fixed for foes

[tepid prawn]

I would think so

But we don’t know details of course

[long peak]

Ohh nooooo

i am sometimes jumping to dodge attacks

it could be not funny :d

[charred gale]

the current state of things sometimes makes you miss when trying to hit boars or necks with a spear

if theyre on ground that's an inch lower than the ground youre on

[long peak]

yeah it happened to me to

[heady parcel]

It is the primary reason the spear goes into storage permanently as soon as I get bronze and can make a sword. The other being the lack of a combo in the primary attack, the repeated overhead stab without variation is dull compared to all other weapon types, which is a shame. I'd like to use spears more, but as is, they are set aside for deer and gull hunting mostly.

To be honest, the spear primary feels kinda unfinished. Might get some attention with the combat update? 🙏🏽

[charred gale]

i hope yea

im using it cause i wanna have it as a gimmick weapon like i had in my previous playthtoug

setting sail now alone, i think this can either go wrong or very wronfg

[heady parcel]

If you are on a raft, you might want to hug the coasts for the time being. If you go out into open water, make sure you brought a bow and arrows!

[peak depot]

wThought the raft can't go into the ocean

[charred gale]

i got the second one

[peak depot]

Karve

[charred gale]

karve is a bit small but its capable

[heady parcel]

It can, but it is kin of a bad idea.

[peak depot]

I dunno mine started taking damage

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[charred gale]

the humble serpent nibbling on the keel:

[peak depot]

Wasn't one around

[heady parcel]

Karve is the best boat overall imo. So much more agile than the bigger ones, it is my go-to boat if I'm not about to ship a haul of ore across the world.

[charred gale]

i agree its very agile but i like the longship because it looks the coolest

[peak depot]

Not being able to portal ores is so dumb, i turned that junk off

[charred gale]

the newest one does also have its own coolness

[charred gale]

patience...

[peak depot]

I have a job, low attention span, and really overburnt from grindy games. I'll pass

[gray sand]

Smart.

[charred gale]

i get that and theres no reason to feel bad about doing that or anything, the option exists for a reason

[heady parcel]

Strongly disagree, if you can teleport metal you bypass a large chunk of what makes the game interesting to me. But I do like that they added the option for those who want.

[charred gale]

yea i personally like the challenge

[peak depot]

Trust me i dont feel bad cause it also doesn't make sense. anything metal related their tools are able to be teleported. but not the ore or ingots? doesn't make a lick of sense

Items like Surtling cores and such that possess some magic. I can understand they may screw with portal magic

[gray sand]

YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE FOR HAVING FUN PLAYING A GAME.

😏

[peak depot]

Oh heavens my enjoyment, i'm enjoying too much

[charred gale]

yeah who do you think you are

if you didnt play the game on v. hard and wet + cold combo you arent a real gamer

[heady parcel]

I'm leaning towards making my next run a no-portals run until Ashlands and the stone portal. There's no way I'd ever subject myself to no-portal down there though...

[shy marlin]

+no food + no armor + no potions

Steering wheel only too

[peak depot]

[gray sand]

Steering Wheel?

Scale issue.
Real players use the guitar.

[shy marlin]

Steering wheel is by far and away more challenging than a guitar

[gray sand]

It's way too easy to dodge with the wheel.

[shy marlin]

Source: I made it up

[carmine sapphire]

Are barrels useless? As chests

[gray sand]

Now the DRUMSET. That's where the skill is at.

[gray sand]

They hold stuff don't they?

[charred gale]

yippee i finally got rested 8

[shy marlin]

I dunno, piano kinda brutal

[gray sand]

Acordian Hero game when?

[charred gale]

they have more slots than regular chests

[carmine sapphire]

Do you ever make them for storage?

[gray sand]

"Is container useless for holding things?"

Well... it holds things. So by definition it is fulfilling its use case. Making it not useless.

[charred gale]

for aesthetic purposes mostly but they can be pretty cool

[carmine sapphire]

Idk, the difference is so small I always just make more chests
The other 2 feel actually worth it

[gray sand]

Well, as worth is subjective to the individual, you feeling the others are worth more means you are correct.

[carmine sapphire]

Right thats what I meant, they're not very useful outside aesthetics

[carmine sapphire]

Do you ever make barrels for storage? Like pre iron or w.e

[gray sand]

Yes.

[charred gale]

well im back to mining copper

[teal stag]

can fullings randomly spawn in house??

in freaking meadows, without event

[shy marlin]

Have you killed yag

[teal stag]

yes

[shy marlin]

There you go

[teal stag]

this game...

[shy marlin]

Make sure to spawn proof your house to make sure they don’t spawn in your house at night time

Simple fix

[teal stag]

spawn proof?

[shy marlin]

Place workbenches or other stuff like that

[teal stag]

ffs, i just died because another fulling spawned here and set me on fire

[charred gale]

not within but close

[teal stag]

i have a lot of things placed already

[teal stag]

might be it, they are so fast and smart in pathfinding

[heady parcel]

Yeah in Meadows & Black Forest those little green buggers are really hard to see at night too, they've sucker-punched me out of nowhere more than once. They even suppress their regular giggling to make sure they get the drop on me...

That's the worst part with the nightspawned fuling revenge-parties. In Plains you can hear them come.

[heady parcel]

If it is your base you should probably put some defences in place so mobs can't just walk inside.

[rain flare]

The meadows become the most dangerous biome in the game at night as you progress story wise

Everything starts to show up 😂

[wintry valve]

I mean they also show up in other biomes

[heady parcel]

Yes, but you tend to relax more in Meadows. At least I do, all the time, then a bloody seeker swoops in and gives me the old stab-hello.

[wintry valve]

I do wish there was a way to disable them raids ingame.

[heady parcel]

There is

[wintry valve]

Not command lines

[shy marlin]

World modifier

[wintry valve]

I mean during play.

[heady parcel]

You can end an event with devcommands

[wintry valve]

Like, I dunno, raids comes from a spawner and you gotta track em down and destroy them. Giving you peace for a few days.

[gray sand]

But can you command a dev with events? 😏

[heady parcel]

Worth a try!

[near furnace]

setworldmodifier raids <--

you can do it ingame, and it's sticky until you change it

[wintry valve]

I think yall are not getting what I mean.

I wish there was more to raids other than just enduring them. I wish we could actually fight them back or something.

I know they can be disabled through commands and modifiers.

[heady parcel]

That's what I do every time. I run outside and kill them dead until they run away

[wintry valve]

You know what. Nevermind. You keep doing you.

[rain flare]

I getcha - kill this mob stone to stop the endless raids of cultist, fulings, etc etc etc

Kinda like how killing a boss stops their army from raiding you

Would be nice, but the truth is Valheim is not supposed to be a place to stay 😅
Odin wants us to kill those forsaken to get to valhalla

And Valheim is supposedly the most “lawless” of the now 10 realms, so it kinda makes sense that you can have no peace

[gray sand]

Peace is a lie...

[wintry valve]

The idea was that peace would be temporary.

After a few days, them raids would resume, meaning you gotta track the source again.

[rain flare]

There is only passion

Through passion, I gain strength

[tacit crystal]

No, they are smaller and hold 2 slots more than regular wooden chest.

[rain flare]

And they be very cute 🥰

[rain flare]

@gray sand , you gonna finish that sentence? 😅

[gray sand]

Nope. 🙂

[rain flare]

Cool 😉

[gray sand]

Because this is #valheim-chat 😛

[rain flare]

Mmmhmmm.
Back on topic it is then 🥳

[carmine sapphire]

mhm, being smaller is a good point! Didnt consider that

[tacit crystal]

2x1 m can fit 3 barrels, so you can make compact shelves of them. 👍

36 item slots per 2x1x1 space.

[heady parcel]

Barrels are also a heck of a lot more decorative than the typical wooden chest. I have a few standing around the base here and there, not just in the storage room..

[halcyon mason]

I love using barrels for food storage

Most of time for mead and potions

[keen trench]

Yeh they look a lot like mini-fermenters, i put a couple in the mead crafting area even if i don't really need more storage

[halcyon mason]

Also looks good in dock

Puting 2 or 3 around

[vapid hearth]

Plus their low profile makes them easier to hide

[charred rune]

Build a second one.

Also there's more than one way to make coal.

[heady parcel]

That's just the way it is. But if you've built three you can process an entire stack of ore in one go, that should really be sufficient if you are solo

Your boat won't take as much damage in storms

And sometimes you don't want to go as fast, e.g. when hunting serpents.

Cargo floats in crates, you lose what mats don't float, primarily the nails

Depends on how you sail to be fair, if you crash into big waves head on at full sail the boat will take some collision damage. The karve is more sensitive to this than the long ship though, the long ship rarely takes much punishment. But the karve can get swamped if you sail carelessly.

I prefer the karve when exploring since it is so much more agile, but the long ship is king when you need to haul cargo.

[eternal blade]

Wood is more easily available than resin or other alternatives, so using hearths is actually quite viable. Sconces are best wall lighting sources, dvergr lanterns and wisp torches don't require fuel but produce only low light, and the color is rather unpleasant IMO

[loud cliff]

what are some good ways to invade/mob proof my house? i just got my first little bit of iron and im scared im gonna get raided and lose everything

[eternal blade]

Ditch and earthen wall

[loud cliff]

i was worried id hear that, its just so ugly

[eternal blade]

You asked for best. Not the prettiest 😄

[loud cliff]

i just said good lol

im ok with 2nd best XD

[nocturne wolf]

Creatures will only break what they need to in order to reach their target. Walk outside and your base will be completely safe.

[wary bane]

You could just spawnproof such a massive area that no mobs will spawn?

[loud cliff]

expensive but yea that could work

[charred gale]

stakes

[gray sand]

No?

Discord lag moment... 😬

[charred gale]

i mean it is a bit tedious

but maybe thats a good thing

[loud cliff]

i threw my ore in while i was building

[charred gale]

its supposed to be crude

[patent citrus]

Raid creatures will always hunt for you, not your structures (unless you die or fight too close to furniture). If you have an animal farm, I recommend completely encapsulate it from all sides.

So whenever you do get raided, just fight outside your base and make sure all farm gates are closed and there's no entry. Also creatures don't spawn in your base, they spawn at a distance and then sprint (or fly) towards you.

[lunar sapphire]

You can also sleep the night away to speed up smelting/taming processes/food baking/cooking

If that’s changed lmk

[wary bane]

Its just general base chores, fill kiln, fill smelter, go do some gardening, collect coal/ore, refill, go refill torches etc..

[charred gale]

would it be cool to use both swords and spears

[gray sand]

Doesn't speed taming afaik and if you sleep while cooking it is highly likely it will burn.

[lunar sapphire]

still possible though - food wise 😂

I’m sure I’ve seen taming sped up due to sleeping. Been a hot minute since I’ve played though

[wary bane]

Who hasnt drunkenly fell asleep and left the grill on after getting home from the pub with the munchies eh?

[gray sand]

When converting the mass excess of seeker meat to coal it is helpful.

[lunar sapphire]

Not me cos I don’t go to pubs / bars

[charred gale]

i drink once every full moon

[wary bane]

awoooo

[heady parcel]

Once, many, many years ago, I woke up to find my toaster in pieces on the floor and my wooden butter knife carefully chewed to bits.

[wary bane]

A case for Mulder and Skully no doubt

[heady parcel]

The kind of hunger our vikings feel with the food bar empty and those measly 25 health..

[wary bane]

sounds like a fine time to go do some building on the roof

[heady parcel]

Ooof

[loud cliff]

why does everything cost so much iron 😮

[wary bane]

my base has more death markers than the ashlands at this point 😦

[heady parcel]

Do wolves eat cooked neck tail btw? I found a few stacks in an old chest

[loud cliff]

like i got 20 and thought it was alot

[wary bane]

oh, cooked? not sure actually

[wary bane]

3rd rule of Valheim, you never have enough iron. Ever.

[heady parcel]

Like, a real world dog that size eats anything, so they should. I'll try and see

If not they're going into the obliterator

Nope. Picky damn mutts

[loud cliff]

should the first thing i really invest my iron be a longer boat so i can hold more?

making repeat runs better?

[gray sand]

First 10 iron always goes to nails.

Boat.

[wary bane]

Usually my 1st 2 iron always go to making the stonecutter, But then i'm addicted to building so.. Yeah, otherwise i'd say nails/boat

iron buckler is also usually high on my list too

[charred gale]

thats so true

you get 300 stacks of iron, come home, smelt it all, make armor and notice halfway through upgrading your iron helmet that you're all out, and need to do another run

[gray sand]

Iron helmet?

[cinder plaza]

Does anyone know if they are addressing the lag issues when multiple people are in the same area? Seems to be a cut off in distance away from other players when the lag starts and stops

[heady parcel]

Hah, also found two full stacks of raw neck tails stashed away. Also noted that cooking them to coal does count as cooking

[hearty hatch]

guys how do I spawn the plains boss

[wary bane]

fuling totems

[hearty hatch]

how many

[brazen linden]

5

As with Moder, there is sockets on the alter to place them. So you can see for your self.

[hearty hatch]

where's the altar

[heady parcel]

You have to find it, it is different on all worlds

[brazen linden]

Several places in the world

you have to find one or a Map-Stone to point it out

[wary bane]

You can find the boss markers sometimes in stone circles in the plains

[hearty hatch]

ty

does the boss have any weaknesses?
or resistances?

[keen trench]

Sure, all of em have some res and some weaknesses, if you don't want to spoil yourself looking at the wiki you can go with intuitivity or experiments (old rule, yellow damage numbers mean weakness, white neutral and grey resistance)

[hearty hatch]

ah

[keen trench]

Yag (plains boss) is basically a big skelly, so shares some res characteristics, also he's good at handling fire, kinda "fire-enchanted", and he's an undead

[heady parcel]

Yeah, if you read the various runestones there are actually some hints in them on the character of the bosses

[bold rover]

when will be new winter update?

[nocturne wolf]

He's neutral to spirit so the silver sword works well

[nocturne wolf]

There is no winter update

[hearty hatch]

Frostner?

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner is also good, better than any black metal weapon but not as strong as the sword

[hearty hatch]

awesome

[bold rover]

😭

[hearty hatch]

If you're talking about the ||Deepnorth|| update then we haven't gotten a confirmed date yet

[rose parcel]

Chicken jockey

[hearty hatch]

any tips that might be helpful fighting Yag?

[rose parcel]

Use a weapon that deals spirit damage

[hearty hatch]

got that checked

[nocturne wolf]

His spawning animation takes a while and you can damage him a ton while it's playing

[hearty hatch]

oh cool
thanks

[rose parcel]

Get fire resist meads

[hearty hatch]

oh right
almost forgot

[rose parcel]

Also what armor are you using?

[hearty hatch]

Padded

[rose parcel]

That's good

[hearty hatch]

level 2

[tacit crystal]

Any non pierce weapon really, but silver sword and Frostner deal good damage due to extra spirit. Silver sword even better than blackmetal due to that fact.

[hearty hatch]

wait so arrows won't work?

[tacit crystal]

Either https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512 (in Help remember not exceed your limits).

[hearty hatch]

what about frost arrows?
seems logical that a fire creature would be weak to frost

[nocturne wolf]

Even with frost arrows you're mostly dealing pierce damage because of the base pierce damage of the bow

A silver sword or frostner will do so much better than anything else

[tacit crystal]

Frost arrows are okay, but not the best for dealing damage due to what Blobicycake said.

It takes 250ish frost arrows to defeat him iirc.

[hearty hatch]

ah

man why is tar so strong 💀

[tacit crystal]

They are quite dangerous when unaware.

Especially in group.

Best take them afar with bow or lead something else to take them down.

[hearty hatch]

yeah i noticed

and by that i mean i died

how do i get back items that are stuck in tar

[rose parcel]

Drain out the tar by either raising the terrain or mining around it so it flows away

[tacit crystal]

Don't remember if you can take grave from tar but draining it or raising ground work too.

[hearty hatch]

alright thanks

[hearty hatch]

Just murdered Yagluth

[lunar sapphire]

Why? He was resting

[hearty hatch]

He stole something of mine

[lilac wagon]

B*tch betta have my money

Showing my age some...

[hearty hatch]

Heading into mistlands rn

[charred gale]

Whats the link between Yag and mistlands boss

[rose parcel]

Both are large

[charred gale]

Possibly

[azure yacht]

both are forsaken

[sinful fulcrum]

leader of the goblin bois is bad

mistlands is worse

[charred gale]

Have you fought the ashlands boss

[sinful fulcrum]

yes

[charred gale]

Same

[sinful fulcrum]

xd

[charred gale]

I dont think im allowed to talk more about that here though since i dont wanna spoil

[hearty hatch]

Guys what's the next level of gear after black metal

[shy marlin]

Eitr

[charred gale]

Go to the mistlands and find out 🙏

[hearty hatch]

I'm there but i can't find anything besides marble and Ygg wood

[charred gale]

Is it a tiny area

[hearty hatch]

not even monsters

[shy marlin]

Just keep exploring

[charred gale]

You do have padded armor right

[hearty hatch]

yes

[charred gale]

Okay good

[tacit crystal]

You have barely scratched the surface, go deeper.

[hearty hatch]

i found what seems to be an ally

[charred gale]

And good luck

[rose parcel]

Go into a dungeon to unlock the new crafting station

[hearty hatch]

found Jotun puffs

died to a seeker

[nocturne wolf]

You can jump over seekers for a free hit from behind if you need a slower but safer way of killing them

[hearty hatch]

oh thanks for that it worked

[rose parcel]

You should be able to parry them with your current gear

[hearty hatch]

i panicked ;-;

[charred gale]

They’re still tough even if you can parry

Especially if you get swarmed

[rose parcel]

A bronze buckler parries most of their moves

[charred gale]

I’m a public test mistlands survivor 😔🙏

It was brutal

(I might be spreading misinformation, i’ve never seen a confirmed nerf to the enemies, but they started feeling easier at some point)

[hearty hatch]

yeah they're kinda easy if you don't panic and thay don't swarm you

[patent citrus]

Mistlands is Nothing Lands with the Frostner

[shy marlin]

nope they were nerfed

[charred gale]

I thought so

[shy marlin]

General rule of thumb is, if new content --> yes has been nerfed

[charred gale]

Same with ashlands when it came out. As soon as me and my mate exited our ship the entire ecosystem within a five mile radius was attacking us

[shy marlin]

😔

And now the ashlands beaching experience is 3 charred and like 1 morgen lol

[hearty hatch]

Agreed

I can't find any dungeons
what do they look like?

[rose parcel]

You should be able to see multiple spires going the same direction, multiple seekers guarding the entrance as.well

Also stairs leading up to it

[hearty hatch]

never found any stairs but i'll keep looking

[rose parcel]

I posted a picture of it in the screenshots channel if that helps

[gleaming bridge]

i havent seen flametal at all in ashlands, do i have to go in the center to find it

[hearty hatch]

thanks alot

[charred gale]

Explore and go take a closer look at whatever is visible from a distance

Do you know how flametal spawns in

[hearty hatch]

found one!

looks exactly like what you sent

[charred gale]

Be careful in there

[rose parcel]

Be careful with the seekers

[hearty hatch]

one of them keeps pushing me back to the door xD

sealbreaker fragment?

oh there are soldiers in here

black core
