[shy marlin]

Frostner is good, the slow down from the frost will allow you to hit the butt more 👍

[light kernel]

Do any of you know if they plan to add trophies to Valheim?

[quasi latch]

[light kernel]

sorry, steam trophies

[tiny tiger]

Achievements are planned for 1.0

[light kernel]

what version are we on?

[tiny tiger]

Deep north update is going to be 1.0

Idk exactly what version we on rn I think it’s like 0.28x

[light kernel]

So how much time is left to get Steam trophies?

[vocal rivet]

0.220.5

Until 1.0 comes out.

[light kernel]

It sounds like we're very low

[tiny tiger]

Minecraft went from 1.9 to 1.10 instead of 2.0 so it doesn’t really tell you much

[vocal rivet]

The number has no bearing on when it'll come out.

[light kernel]

Certainly

No way, we have to wait, thanks for the information.

[shy marlin]

Well we do know there is gonna be a combat update before 1.0, and the combat update hasn't come out yet

[shy marlin]

Just did it, not fun at all, 0/10

[cursive kite]

Does anyone know where I can find servers with mods?

[shy marlin]

#1024264966712340510 and Look for servers with mods 👍

[rose parcel]

Krom doesn't need that

[lyric sparrow]

Why has the price of the game increased?

[tacit crystal]

It hasn't? At least still 20 euros on Steam.

[lyric sparrow]

in Kazakhstan the game used to cost 5 dollars since May 22 the game is three times more expensive, will there be discounts? and why the price has increased.

[tacit crystal]

Probably during Summer Sale the game will have discount. But Iron Gate has nothing to do with Steam pricing, could be regional thing.

[lyric sparrow]

How? If the game was 5 dollars all the time, and recently became 15 dollars.

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes prices on Steam can differ in certain regions, but that is beyond my knowledge why the price may have changed.

[hollow crag]

the game before is unfinished thus less content, now we close to 1.0 the official launch it make sense they want to up the price

[vernal pebble]

Its not just combat right

[haughty leaf]

I have been in my base now for months. It has a nice wall all the way around it and iron gates. Today I was looking in some chests and boooom a brute started pounding on me. Then I saw a boar was running around my base. I looked and the gates are all shut and the walls are all up. Any idea why they are in my base? nothing has spawn inside the walls before and I have not changed anything.

[tacit crystal]

Is the area fully spawnproofed?

[merry pebble]

If they really wanted that they would raise prices for all regions, however it seems only south america was affected.

[neat hawk]

not sure how it works but I think some crafting stations and furniture prevent enemies from spawning. You prob have a gap in there somewhere

[tacit crystal]

Campfires also has same spawnproof area as workbench.

[neat hawk]

I checked the wiki and it says that artisan table has a 40 meter spawnproof range.
Gotta farm Moder for more of those XD

[haughty leaf]

I will have to check.. just found it strange that this is the first time ... and I have been in this base for months.

[vocal rivet]

Um, no.

[heady parcel]

Who could have known wolves loved spiral staircases this much

[heady parcel]

I googled a bit. It has to do with how Valve's recommended price interacts with foreign (to US) currencies. For some reason this strikes some countries - one of them Kazakhstan - especially hard. Valheim's publisher probably just follows the Valve recommendation instead of actively researching various currencies - so if Valve's recommendation increased 300% for the Tenge that would mean the price jumped 300% in Kaz, while the actual price of Valheim has not changed - it is still 20$.

[lyric sparrow]

This is the case not only in Kazakhstan, but in all CIS countries

[heady parcel]

Yeah Valve probably set the same or similar recommandations for the entire region

[near furnace]

adjusting the price isn't the same as raising the price tho

currencies change rates daily

[nimble moss]

@vocal rivet - Muddy scrap pile wiki says "They have 5 health per part making all pickaxes equally good at mining them."

This cant be right? Using an iron pick axe one shots them, using a Antler pickaxe is two shots?

I havent looked at code - but something is not accurate there..

[vocal rivet]

Hm, the code definitely says 5 HP.

[merry pebble]

It should be correct, but the part about all pickaxes may need a bit of a tweak since the dmg spreads with how many pieces you hit, so antler will be slightly worse then some i believe.

[nimble moss]

maybe it is 5HP - but its defintely 2x antlker hits on average - where as Iron is 1 shot

[vocal rivet]

I do believe you.

[nimble moss]

perhaps split damage due to walls etc?

I'll play around later - but Iron pickaxes are defintely better...

[nimble moss]

yeah - maybe its this...

so although in theory its 5HP - you never hit "just one" - therefore other pickaxes are better to ensure enough damage to pop

[vocal rivet]

That's beyond my ability to check code wise. Makes sense though.

[lyric path]

hi

[ionic elk]

I finally got into the Mistlands like a year ago, the point I entered from seemed to have a Gjall spawning right where my ship touched down on >.> So I managed to kill it the first couple times, but then having to deal with it over and over eventually got the better of me..anyways I logged back in the other night, modified the world rules for no build cost to fix my base up to be a bit more efficient as a solo player and now love playing Valheim again

[neat hawk]

idk if am repeating myself but man would mistlands be cooler without the mist

like in some places the mist doesn't spawn and it looks so majestic

[vocal rivet]

You definitely have said that before. Mistlands without mist would just be Lands.

[hollow crag]

its cheap to make wisp lights, so just bring a bunch of materials and build it as you explore

[ionic elk]

There seems to be some areas where it's much more dissipated, at least for a minute..the sound design is just fantastic in there though, almost makes me wanna build a lil outpost. I wonder, how have solo players found Ashlands? Particularly initially arriving there and getting a foothold? I can forsee that being another year long break event

[hollow crag]

Ashlands when it was first released it was pretty rough but i heard they toned down the spawn rate after

[merry pebble]

Cant really tell since my first experience with them was in ptb where it was much much harder to get a foothold, so cant really tell you what you should expect on first feel currently. Imo now it is a bit too peacefull in there, on shores at the very least.

[hollow crag]

It also builds dependent

Like if you build focuses on some more aoe you might have an easier time

[shy marlin]

Not really

[merry pebble]

Somewhat, but it was universally nerfed 🙂

[shy marlin]

Ashlands just boils down to killing things quickly, it’s all the biome is

[ionic elk]

Relieved to hear it's a bit chill on the coast, I was foreseeing a D-Day scenario trying to get off the boat..no doubt the Mistlands gear will help! I'm still searching out my first infested mine, can't wait to be annihilated by seeker soldiers in close quarters 🫠

[heady parcel]

I'd like to be able to make a wider radius wisp lantern - e.g. out of black marble, like the wisp beacons of dvergr construction that are naturally spawned here and there around Mistlands. Make those crafteable with some thing from the press built from the Queen's drops, and it can't make Mistlands too e-z before you've "beaten" it. Win-win.

[ionic elk]

Would be super neat if you could use gold to hire out some Dverger or something in future to make big raid combat a scooch more fun for solo players, just to split up the aggro at the least!

[neat hawk]

I played on easy mode. Defeated Fader yesterday.
I completed ashlands very fast though I do not see doing it on normal.
The charred swarm you when you try to stand in one place for too long. Good thing friendly fire is on for the enemies there tho.

the hammer from mistlands helped a lot against melee charred

[neat hawk]

imo that could be something you should be able to craft out of the queen drops.

[ionic elk]

I'm gonna keep build cost off and loot drops increased for now, that's made life muuuuch easier for me, as just keeping on top of crafting everything keeps my brain dizzy enough..I also haven't explored the southern half of my map at all, so when I do go looking for Ashlands it'll be a proper adventure

[merry pebble]

The ptb ashlands were the propper D-Day experience 😄 it was quite fun (even with all the deaths xD)

[peak depot]

is there a creative mode? and no i dont mean no build cost, i mean no shit like creative

[merry pebble]

Debug mode 🙂

[peak depot]

How do i use that?

[heady parcel]

My experience was pretty much like that - but I bombarded the coast from the sea a good while before I actually landed. Made sure there were no active spawn towers on "my" beach, that took the pressure off a bit. But it turns out I chose a location to land where enemies are funneled at my base between the ocean and the lava sea. It's pretty much a non-stop siege. Can be exhausting at times.

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Debug_mode 😄

[ionic elk]

I had a look at some gameplay from the ptb and it was gnarly

[peak depot]

really cant just tell me, gotta use this shitty wiki site

[heady parcel]

But on today's excursion I finally spotted a Charred fortress. Was chased off by a valkyrie and her morgen buddy with sidekicks though, so need to come back later..

[hollow crag]

more interactions are always cool

[ionic elk]

The big question as we drew nearer to 1.0 - will there be a wipe before it releases into the 1.0 build?

[merry pebble]

Open console, type devcommands, type debugmode, and oyu have list of controls on the wiki...

[hollow crag]

I wonder if it be 2026 or this year

[merry pebble]

Also quite rude calling the official wiki shitty

[ionic elk]

I think they could land it by around Christmas, but it's also probably a few more things to fit in the update than just the final biome

[peak depot]

And looking through it doesn't seem like theirs a nocost for crafting stuff

[azure yacht]

why would there be?

[merry pebble]

I really dont think there will be any kind of wipe, this is not a pvp where you could gain any advantage by using hoarded stuff

[nimble moss]

not really a question - we know the answer is no

[merry pebble]

B for no cost, Y/Z for flying

[nimble moss]

z for flying

[merry pebble]

Ah, true, i am using qwertz keyboard.

[vocal rivet]

Rude.

[vocal rivet]

How would that even work? IG have no access to your worlds.

[near furnace]

nope. just like derek says, we don't have any kind of access to your own world(s)

[neat hawk]

will the new biome spawn if I won't discover any of it or I will have to make a new world?

[light moat]

As long as you don’t explore, it will be available to you once the update comes 👍

[neat hawk]

great

[tiny tiger]

It’s similar to Minecraft world gen new chunks are generated with new content

You can also clear old chunks and ‘renew’ them with commands and possibly a mod

[shy marlin]

One thing to note is they have mentioned doing a sweep of all of the previous biomes for the 1.0 update, so it might just be wise to make a new world entirely when 1.0 drops

[tiny tiger]

I remember seeing people reset the mistlands on release and same with Ashland’s

Yeah 1.0 fresh playthrough seems like the way to go tbh

[merry pebble]

I will probably do one playthrough from a world i am in Ashlands currently since i dont think i will be able to wait for a full new run till i get to Deep North and then i will do a full playthrough with new world 😄

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but what if there are some new additions to older biomes in same update?

[merry pebble]

Then i will have to find those in the second playthrough 😄

[shy marlin]

Me personally imma have a deep north world ready to go 🤙

Avoid spoilers and such

[neat hawk]

ima start making a huge base at the nort islands before the far north islands

and get all thropies

[vocal rivet]

You're building in Deep North?

[covert smelt]

Is there a way to lock a server so characters can only play on that server?

[vocal rivet]

I believe there's a mod that can do that. Might be good to ask in #mods-discussion

[rocky nebula]

Is the deep north the last biome they are releasing

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[merry pebble]

Same reason as to why I will most likely be gone for a while from this server once it releases 😄

[neat hawk]

no, before the deep north

[neat hawk]

Watch them make Valheim dlcs like idk, Valheim but it's all a desert

or valheim but it's all a dessert

[shy marlin]

Question for the giga informed out there, what is yag saying when he initially is rising from the ground when getting summoned?

[vocal rivet]

There's no indication we'll get any DLC.

[nocturne wolf]

The audio clip is named 'vo_helloviking', I hear 'viking' but definitely not 'hello'

[shy marlin]

I hear, waking my (can't comprehend the rest)

can also hear viking now that you mention that

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe if we were fulings we would understand

[neat hawk]

🥀 a viking can always dream

[vocal rivet]

I guess. Just don't be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

[neat hawk]

ok but the better enemies spawning everywhere after u finish a biome is annoying.
I did not made my base in meadows for fuelings or seekers to terrorize my farm animals

[shy marlin]

Spawn proof 👍

[nocturne wolf]

New enemies only spawn at night, try sleeping

[neat hawk]

but I don't wanna 😦 (prob a good idea(

[vocal rivet]

Hm, no translation string for Yagluth waking.

[shy marlin]

Word, was just curious

[merry pebble]

Yeah there Is no text for what he says, maybe you can ask smiffe when you see him 🙂

[azure yacht]

then live with the consequences of your own decisions

[shy marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-lebron-bron-scared-im-scared-gif-9086856978205918508

[uncut owl]

I was sailing to find a swamp and I spotted the yagluth altar from a distance, how convenient

[neat hawk]

hypothetically speaking. If like 10 people had the berserker axes with the paralyze gem could you infinitely stunlock a boss

[tacit crystal]

Probably, 10 people with Primal axes have more chances to apply immobility on the same target. 🎰

[nocturne wolf]

The spin is his only attack with a 360 degrees attack trigger and all others are 180 or less, so if every player is behind him all he'll do is spin which is easily tanked with a root harnesk.

[neat hawk]

it's 10% per swing right?

[nocturne wolf]

I think it's 20%

10% would be way too low (although there shouldn't be any rng in it anyway )

[neat hawk]

ain't no way it's 20%

ok it is 20%

[neat hawk]

wdym no rng

[nocturne wolf]

There are so many better ways it could be triggered that aren't rewarding the player for their luck

[neat hawk]

what

[light moat]

He’s saying he doesn’t like that the paralyzation is based on luck/chance

[vocal rivet]

I thought it was fairly clear.

[carmine sapphire]

Arent seeker soldiers resistent?

[rose parcel]

i was saying the krom doesnt need refined eitr

[carmine sapphire]

I was asking what weapons I should use in mistlands with the constraint of no sap

You said Krom
Im asking if thats a good idea

[rose parcel]

it works decently

honestly the frostner might be better to use until you can get sap refined for the mistwalker

[nocturne wolf]

Their weak point is weak to all damage except poison

[tacit crystal]

Other areas than their butt, which is their weak point.

You can parry their attack and jump secondary attack to the weak point to deal high amount of damage.

[undone forum]

It’s kinda garbage in the Ashlands

[rose parcel]

we were talking about mistlands

[arctic bough]

Playing with a friend and into the Ashlands. Wiki says Fallen Valkyries are an "uncommon spawn". We're getting them about every 100 meters or so. is that uncommon or is there a known issue?

[merry pebble]

Take it as uncommon compared to other mobs there 🙂 tho they are really not that common it may feel like they are since you are always doing something (fighting) and you percieve time a bit differently there

[heady parcel]

Ashlands question, putting it all as spoiler to be safe: ||So I have finally spotted a fortress. Before I got near I was chased off by a valkyrie, a morgen and a horde of charred so I was not able to survey the surroundings very well, but it seemed to be out in the open with little or no cover to approach from. Any tips on preparing for an assault? I have not unlocked any siege engines or suchlike.||

I want to make that place into my next outpost, I have drained all resources within a half day march of my first bridgehead..

[heady parcel]

The mob spawn rng can also be pretty bursty. It took a few days before I encountered my first valkyrie in Ashlands, then now it seems every time I walk more than 500 meters from my outpost I get one. Often together with a morgen, and always those burnt skellies. They everywhere all the time!

Ran into my first 2-star warrior today, kiting him to the nearest dvergr outpost cost me a crapload of frost arrows and I barely dented the thing's health bar. Gods those things are nightmares!

[arctic bough]

Indeed, those are as common as the Valkyries are in our seed.

[vocal rivet]

No, the seed is irrelevant

[heady parcel]

I find that starred enemies come in bursts. Some days I get one or two - like the 10% of every mob that is supposed to be starred - other days it seems two out of three are starred. Definitely more than 10% - but that's just rng for you. Sometimes the stars align to mess with you.

According to the Wise Men (the interwebs) there's a 10% chance each mob that spawns will have one star, and then another 10% chance that starred mob gets another star. So two star mobs should be about one out of a hundred - but anyone who ever played pen-n-paper rpgs using d100 systems will know that some days the dice will be "in the mood" and crazy shit can happen.

[vocal rivet]

I'm the interwebs now?

[celest acorn]

Gonna make some zil and thungr fan art

[shy marlin]

Derek - The Interwebs

[vocal rivet]

Although to be fair, that page isn't one of mine.

[heady parcel]

I think I first read that info on the reddit, but I wager it is also on the wiki, so I bow to the Wise Ones!

[vocal rivet]

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

Wow, only 8 edits since 2021. That's rare.

[heady parcel]

Ah well, I'm just gonna pack a few stacks of my best foods, mats for a portal, a hoe and some stone, and try to set up an FOB near that fortress. That whole region is crawling with charred though, I think I'm going to start littering the countryside with fireplaces for the first time ever...

[eager hazel]

me and my friend beat the game for the first time ever 🔥

[carmine sapphire]

is there any biome where its better to keep ||chickens|| ?

like where they breed faster or something

[tacit crystal]

No such condition, usually the safest is meadows.

[carmine sapphire]

does it make sense that I want to make them in a secondary base to avoid lag?

My main one is starting to feel laggy (non plains crops, bees, fermenters, three floors, walls, smelters, ||ovens, blast furnnaces, windmills,|| etc etc etc)

[tacit crystal]

Sure, it's an option, but they lay eggs only when you're in the same area.

[carmine sapphire]

ah, so if the area is not loaded they dont reproduce?

[neat hawk]

let's go, finally found 2 asksvins and transporting them to my main base

[tacit crystal]

Exactly.

[carmine sapphire]

oof

thanks

[neat hawk]

the second moder boost ended the wind did a 180 and turned against me

[brazen linden]

Because that was the direction the game wind had at that place, at that time of day. Moder-Power doesn't change that.

[neat hawk]

🥀

[prime moth]

randomly just got the plains biome unlock screen in a buried catacombs lol

[merry pebble]

They might have been close the their edge and you came across it by chance 😄

[prime moth]

i'm on a no map mode and i've never seen that before

[quasi latch]

Imagine if deathsquitos could spawn in burial chambers

[merry pebble]

Just interesting generation most likely 🙂

[prime moth]

oop sure enough right behind me is plains lol (RUNNNNNNN)

[merry pebble]

Do you hear "bzzzzzzzzz"? 😄

[prime moth]

still in troll gear smh

roaming around looking for elder like a dingus. first time i've made the abyssal razor though, this thing slaps

[quasi latch]

The way dungeons work in the game is that the actual dungeon is buttfuck sky high at the same xz coordinates as the entrance

And the entrance/exit just teleports your y coordinate

[prime moth]

i feel like i'm in assassins creed or something

[merry pebble]

-# still cant get used to using Z as anything other than height coordinate xD

[flat vector]

Love me some valheim

[gray sand]

-# Heresy, Y is the up/down. X is forward/back. Z is left/right.

[azure yacht]

nothing special would occur, they'd get stuck in the hallways

[prime moth]

i forgot how much of no map is spent just wandering looking for boss spawns lol

[heady parcel]

I keep my chickens in a troll cave. By placing some campfires around the cave and using signs to block the chickens from suiciding in the fires, the cave becomes a convenient safe breeding ground. You need to hop in and feed them once in a while, and replenish the fires, other than that they pretty much manage themselves.

And that way they most definitely don't cause any kind of lag.

Put my askvin in a similar location, but since they are so damn big troll caves won't cut it.

Dammit why do wolves love spiral staircases this much?!?

[prime moth]

yoooooo i did it. it was 3 islands over 😢

it's right next to a mountain too lol. should I try and get some wolves to do the kill for me? 😂

[shy marlin]

This guy despises the right hand rule

Can really spot the engineers vs the weirdos with this

😏

[nimble moss]

eh - its more that half the software does Y up (including Unity), and the other half does Z up (including Unreal)

as per this image: #screenshots message

[shy marlin]

Either way you can spot the engineers vs the weirdos 😏

[nimble moss]

engineers been Z up right?

[shy marlin]

Ye

[nimble moss]

cool - i'm part of the cool kids club for once...

[celest acorn]

Gonna crochet a fuling nyehaha

[gray sand]

🤔

[shy marlin]

All engineering practices and systems use Z axis as the "up and down"

Auto cad etc

[gray sand]

And in neither of them is Z left/right.

I am technically not beholden to either system 😁

Both system use X as left/right and it's just a matter if Z forward or Y forward (the other being up/down)

Whereas to my brain, X is forward. Y is up/down and Z is left/right.

[shy marlin]

Boooooooo

x and y describe the plane in 2d, z is an extension of the xy plane

Surely you did y = mx + b right

[gray sand]

Ok but take a moment to understand where I am coming from?

[shy marlin]

Nope I cannot hear you out! 😏

[gray sand]

Original Nintendo games. For example, Mario:

Which plane was forward/backward? --- X
Which was up/down? --- Y

Games became 3D and added the depth of left/right --- Z

[shy marlin]

Times change old man

[gray sand]

No 🙃😁

[shy marlin]

Keep up or be left in the dust of your xz plane 😏

[gray sand]

Given how blue my eyes are... all I have known is dust.

[shy marlin]

muad dib?

are you pointing the way?

[wintry valve]

valheim x nikke collab when?

[gray sand]

I'm X'm pointing the way now!

[shy marlin]

False prophet alert!

[gray sand]

That is kind of the entire theme of the books 😄

[shy marlin]

yea

Might have to reread

[carmine sapphire]

is there a mistlands tier knife?

[hearty hatch]

Ok i take back what i said about Flametal being abundant

[shy marlin]

ye

[hearty hatch]

a Morgen destroyed my ashlands portal

[lean zephyr]

Hey is the skoll and hati good in Ashlands?

[shy marlin]

There's better options 😅

[lean zephyr]

Yeah, as a knife main it's sad that there is no Ashlands tier knife

[shy marlin]

Closest thing to ashlands tier knife is the berserker axes, try them out (if you haven't)

they play similarily to the skol and hati

[lean zephyr]

Ohh yeah, I have never really used them. Thanks 👍

I've been using the skoll and hati pretty much so it can be pretty good

[carmine sapphire]

is it me or the level scaling for magic seems to be all over the place

like it varies completely from one item to another, even in the same skill

[spare cobalt]

Do you think this’ll be the last biome update for valheim

After deep north

[gray sand]

Level scaling is per hit.
Some magic effects have more hits than others.

That's the only real variance.

[wintry valve]

its weird... I cant remember the mistland knife at all, lemme google it

oh right... these guys

[tacit crystal]

They can be very effective against non-pierce resistant enemies.

[outer cosmos]

i just started the game just wondering if anyone is up for some

[eager hazel]

Didnt answer my question, whats the thing i have to do so my suggestion is acc there

[gray sand]

Did they remove the channel description explaining how to post? (I have the channel muted but it used to have instructions at the top)

[tacit crystal]

Put 💡 first on your post. Bot removes posts that don't have the emoji first.

But seemingly you figured it out already.

[pearl steeple]

yo im playing a lightly modded playthrough with like 2 friends that dont know much ab the game looking for someone who can grind with me and help them with me

It is really good and quite cheap 😄 if you get lucky and encounter leviathans

[prime moth]

kinda nutty how effective it was for the rest of the black forest lol. yeah I had the classic reddit moment of 3 of them next to each other

[merry pebble]

Well, it is a swamp tier weapon 😄 so it makes sense it will be quite OP in black forest

[prime moth]

ahh makes sense. probably isnt great against the abominations though

It is half slash dmg, so its not the worst 🙂

I don't know why they still do Twitter honestly.

[brazen linden]

Might have to do with the size, if you exclude Meta and China.

[vernal pebble]

How can gjalls fly

[shy marlin]

They use aerodynamics (lift and thrust) to outweigh drag and gravity 👍

[vernal pebble]

They're too fat

[shy marlin]

They seem like pretty lightweight creatures tbh

[unreal gust]

They gjallide on air currents.

[vocal rivet]

They're very buoyant

[nimble moss]

out of everything in Valheim - that is the science logic issue that breaks your immersion?

• Not the walking skeletons (how do skeletons move their bones if they have no muscles?)
• Not the stone golems (how are rocks alive??)
• Not the broom that is alive (can it at least come clean my room for me???)

[vernal pebble]

They're too fat for that

[ancient merlin]

Hahahah 😂😂😂

Btw, Viking Greetings from Denmark 🙂 I am currently there for a day trip ☺️ ( I live in the northernmost town in Germany, so it is quite easy to just drive 20 Minutes and be inside Denmark ) did some of you visit Denmark? If so, did you like it? Some towns are really cute but my dream is to visit Finnland, Norway or Sweden soon

[tacit crystal]

If you manage to deal backstab damage with the secondary attack it still deals huge amount of damage on them.

[ancient merlin]

What would you guys recommend for a weapon? I always used swords and never really tried another weapon. But I see a lot of people using Atgears, Spears or other stuff. I just crafted the Frostner, but I think it deals less damage than the sword. And I haven’t quite figured out what „spirit“ means 😂

[shy marlin]

At ⚙️

Reminder that the At ⚙️ gang is so powerful that they don't even need an emote on this server

[tacit crystal]

Spirit damage is basically elemental damage that burns undead (similar to how fire damage works), but most other mobs in game are immune to it.

[brazen linden]

I change weapon, when I know what mob I'm fighting. They all have pros and cons.

[ancient merlin]

Thank you 🙂 but how do I know that it kills undead? In case I am a player who isn’t on this server. Does the game tell you that at some point? Or is it a trial and error thing?

[brazen linden]

Damage in yellow tells you that the mob takes extra damage from the weapon. Use spear and club on skeleton, and check it out.

[wooden tapir]

its also not that big a deal if you find out or not. there is not a lot of spirit damage in the game and its not that beneficial to know. Not worth going out of your way to use a specific spirit weapon on undead, most weapons work in all scenarios just some are better equipped to handle specific mobs or situations.

they are more just like added bonuses that give you a bit more damage but nothing gamebreaking

i think using multiple weapons for different situations is nice, but if you are passionate about swords there is no problem with only using a sword

[shy marlin]

idk it's pretty beneficial to know that silver sword against charred is pretty good

[wooden tapir]

better than mistwalker?

[shy marlin]

Costs less stamina, and does very very similar dmg

(no frost tho, so you're sacrificing frost effect for stamina, that's the trade off) still worth using

[nocturne wolf]

More damage than mistwalker and also less stamina

[shy marlin]

No frost 🤙

[nocturne wolf]

It's my favourite weapon to use against starred charred warriors before gemstones

[shy marlin]

agreed

Krom lowkey goated for charred warriors too

I'm also extremely biased towards 2hswords 🤙

[quasi latch]

crystal battleaxe ftw

[tacit crystal]

The spirit damage is noticeable when you hit targets that are not immune against it. It applies a bright glowing burn and sizzling noise that deals damage over time.

[shy marlin]

🤙

[tacit crystal]

Been using Crystal battleaxe a lot in my 2h weapon run and I was so used to its hit movements that when I got Krom I had to get used to it again too lol.

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner's tooltip has a hint about it

The dead fear silver. Remind them why.

[keen sequoia]

nothing like planning out a base and then it becomes 20 times larger than the current size

[ancient merlin]

My problem right now 😂😂

First I thought I would never fill it at all and have to find ways to fill it with decoration but now? Now I have to squeeze everything together 😂

Storage House, Main House with maximum Comfort, Tavern with kitchen, Boar Pit, Hen Pit, Forge, Farming and I still want to add a „ Witch Hut“ for brewing meads 😂

[ancient merlin]

Ahh, there is the clue, thank you!!

[keen sequoia]

i am building a castle and for the first time im actually pretty satisfied with the progress. and im messing around with a pathway and such outside bcus i had to terraform quite much in the front. and now i decided im gon do a massive wall too

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @upbeat crypt You had Geirrhafa raid? Cultists and fenrings spawn with stars during that raid.

[ancient merlin]

I started with a wall as an outline, took me DAYS to finish that thing 😂 but I am so happy, I try to make it look a little bit like a village. When I am satisfied and have build a little bit more, I will share it with you guys 🙂

[keen sequoia]

i live on an semi island in the Plains and want a larger farming area and the area closest to my castle on mainland is a huge hill. but the other side of the islands mainland side is flatter. so massive wall for the farm and a greatbridge it is

[ancient merlin]

Sounds great 🙂

What I love is to use a mod that lets me terraform everywhere to the deepest ground (until water comes) Some areas in my build were way higher than my ground level but somehow the game didn’t let me dig derper. That mod really helped. But I know this is not the mod section, so sorry if I overstepped with that comment

[upbeat crypt]

Do Tetra lakes disappear if you leave the cave?

[merry pebble]

No

[upbeat crypt]

oh q3 tetra right away

[onyx lava]

How long for boars to respawn? deer have spawned every day but i went to 3 boar shrines near me and the coast where i killed 4 and every day (5 days now) no new boars

[merry pebble]

The runestones do not respawn boars.

[onyx lava]

im sure im not the only one who thought they did. shoulda kept the 2 stars

[merry pebble]

Indeed you are not, sadly they are only one time spawners 🙂

[onyx lava]

Lol boar ran up to my workbench hit it once then swam out into the ocean... bye bye

[onyx lava]

Captured a 1 star can it bread up another 1 star then eventually a 2?

[merry pebble]

No, Piggies inherit stars from their parrent that births them, you need at least one 2 star

[onyx lava]

Same for all livestock/tameables

[merry pebble]

Yep

[undone forum]

Frostner is a weapon that is viable to use till the endgame

It is a solid choice

[left lagoon]

new update tomorrow?

[onyx lava]

everyone on every game ever 'when patch' 'patch tomorrow' fun times

excitement is good and contagious i approve

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂 and to quote: "won't be anytime soon mate"

[vocal rivet]

How could it possibly be tomorrow?

[merry pebble]

If we didnt have any feedback from smiffe for all we would know it very well could be 🤷‍♂️

[onyx lava]

He got a rise and response out of you both so he's happy

[left lagoon]

absolutely

[onyx lava]

I know people 😛

[left lagoon]

I know animals

[onyx lava]

I know nothing

and even that doesnt like me

[merry pebble]

Is that you Jon Snow?

[vocal rivet]

So you're saying it was bait.

[onyx lava]

He's the master... bai.. nevermind

[vocal rivet]

Yeah...no.

[left lagoon]

although it wasn't really serious question, it would have bin nice to know some date. We got a server but i decided to wait till next update is ready

[vocal rivet]

I don't think the combat update would warrant a fresh world.

[shy marlin]

No one knows a date 🤙

[left lagoon]

so you mean we can leave everything as it is even after the update?

[vocal rivet]

You could since Early Access, honestly.

Just leave Deep North alone for now.

[rose parcel]

Deltarune tomorrow

[onyx lava]

lol I've been sleeming under a rock, what combat update

[merry pebble]

#news message read through this 🙂

[onyx lava]

I read through it from the witch update down, dont see any headlines that say 'combat update' anywhere. didnt watch any vids

[merry pebble]

Just below the first "show spoilers" button 🙂

"Besides the Deep North, we have a reveal for you as well! We’re also working on a smaller update, which will be released before the Deep North, that focuses on improving Valheim’s combat mechanics. And yes, that includes at last fixing slope fighting!"

[onyx lava]

awe ok cool Thank you

[wintry valve]

I hope we will be able to do DMC level combos!

and guns! Motorcycle combat! Time Travel!

[merry pebble]

Yeah, that would be big NO 😄

[wintry valve]

Tactical dating?

How about mecha build systems?

[rose parcel]

I can't believe there aren't any furry mods for the game yet

[heady parcel]

Furry mods?

[wintry valve]

mods that turns all grass into fur

what else would it be?

[heady parcel]

Why would that be a thing?

[merry pebble]

A wrong channel for it 😄

[heady parcel]

Indeed

[rose parcel]

One that makes the player character furry obviously

[heady parcel]

Aright, well head over to #mods-discussion and ask away 😄

[rose parcel]

Why not?

[heady parcel]

Well, if you want Wookie-Valheim and there is no mod for it - go make one. Or ask in the linked channel if anybody else has the same fetish.

[rose parcel]

The what?

[heady parcel]

#mods-discussion

[rose parcel]

Not what I was shocked by

[heady parcel]

Furry vikings? Well I have never seen anybody else ask about it ever, so I don't think it is a very common request.

Unless you mean more types of beards

[mortal oriole]

When do we escape Valhiem and join Odin?

[azure yacht]

when the game is finished

[merry pebble]

Odin will bring us to Valhalla when we kill and offer him all the Forsaken 🙂

[peak depot]

When Odin feels like it

That or hes dead like in the Marvel universe

[merry pebble]

Why bring that abomination of norse myths into this?

[peak depot]

You right, what was i thinking. Multiverse is real now. Odin's just fickle father for all

[azure yacht]

contrary to him literally appearing in front of you in the game

[peak depot]

Never seen him

[merry pebble]

You must have not been paying attention 😄 he appears quite often

[vocal rivet]

Seems unlikely, unless you're right at the start of the game.

[tacit crystal]

It could be possible if one avoids going out during night time.

[peak depot]

I mean, i've come to realize 90% of this game is looking down in some fashion

[peak depot]

Which yea cause their aint shit to do and i dont care to kill the greylings when i have a chest full of their eyeballs

[onyx lava]

Im on my self hosted dedicated server and using Portal Casual modifier but it isnt allowing everything (copper ore right now) through portal

[peak depot]

#mods-issues

[vocal rivet]

O_o

[onyx lava]

.. no mods

I play the game how the devs intended

[peak depot]

Forgot theirs a setting for the portal junk, you right

[vocal rivet]

There is, yes.

[peak depot]

No shit

[onyx lava]

yes shit

[peak depot]

For you perhaps yea. I could only suggest reopen the world a few times messing with that setting

maybe it'll reset it to whats supposed to be set to

[merry pebble]

Try setkey TeleportAll 🤔

[rose parcel]

Meow

[merry pebble]

@onyx lava type setworldmodifier portals casual into the console and you should be good to go 🙂 should work without devcommands enabled even, tho i am not sure if you have to be admin of that world or not but you can enable that if needed i believe

[onyx lava]

command line window is just a log readout cant input that i can tell

[onyx lava]

I got it working ty

[patent citrus]

It would be cool to see some other creatures stalk you during gameplay

Prior to killing eikthyr, u see a big deer just staring at you in the distance, when you get too close he just bolts in an instant

Before Elder, a distant tree with purple eyes in the black forest, u get close it just shuts its eyes.

||Bonemass'|| reflection in swamp puddles

Etc etc. what do u guys think, a small horror element to the game.

[hot talon]

Kinda curious. I wonder if they might make a valheim cookbook? Would be interesting.

[azure yacht]

considering they are game developers and not cooks...

probably not

[merry pebble]

That would not be that big of an obstacle i think 🙂 i am aware of few authors of books for example that included recipes in them after either hiring or consulting with people who know a lot about cooking

Anyway we do not have any idea if they plan or even thought about something like that @hot talon

[peak depot]

They must be starving if aren't cooks then...

[quiet gorge]

Whew killed bone mass

That was a battle

[wooden tapir]

if i am sitting inside haldors little bubble, could i cause a raid to happen if there is a couple more base structures too close?

not sure how raids interact with the shopkeeper bubbles

has anyone ever even tried that?

[vocal rivet]

I think the raid will still start but the mobs might not be able to spawn.

[light moat]

I had a raid happen while I was at the bog witch. It was surtling raid, sooo they pretty must just kept dying lol but I don’t think they could enter the bubble? 🤔

[wooden tapir]

oh ok, good to know

[remote raft]

I hate wraiths

[shy marlin]

why

[remote raft]

Usually content with wherever I am in a particular moment in combat in the swamp, and then boom a wraith spawns. Always when my stamina is drained too lol

[nimble moss]

if you want to know: they only spawn ||at night|| or very rarely ||inside some buildings the first time you see the building, even during the day||. So ||if you stay in Swamp only during the day|| you'll have far less risk.

Lastly ||place bonfires when you see one, and they will catch fire if you run around it, killing them||

[remote raft]

Cool, thanks alot for this info. Fighting wraiths is definitely going to help me to get better at combat in general too.

[quasi latch]

You have access to an item that stops the cold effect from draining stamina. Are you using it?

[wooden tapir]

will crytsals respawn in frost caves?

[wintry valve]

The trick in the swamp is to walk to get around

thus avoiding spending stamina, thus keeping it for when you need it the most

[quasi latch]

No. Make sure you break them instead of interacting with them to pick them up, as they'll drop 1-3 crystals that way instead of just 1.

[wooden tapir]

oh really?

[quasi latch]

Yes.

[vast patio]

Did Maypole update just happen?

[peak depot]

I would assume so since the instant i restarted my game and loaded in i got a maypole

[lime root]

are there open or whitelisted modded valheim servers by chance?

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510 #mods-discussion

[brazen linden]

No update. Seasonal items are now built into the code, and triggers on client date.

[lavish orbit]

Hi guys, I don't know it if has asked recently, do we have any news about the next and last area? in the north of the map

[tacit crystal]

No other than the small information in form of monthly blog posts found in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816
Last post revealed we are getting combat focused smaller update before Deep North update, but there is no timeline yet for either updates.

[lavish orbit]

Thank you for the info!

[hard sluice]

ive been playing on a server for a while now, it made me realize its not ashland thats 'broken', its ashland in my world... is it possible the world generation failed and gave me double respawn, which came with performance issues? thats what i think happened at the moment

also pathfinding issues

[tacit crystal]

Did you visit the pre-Ashlands before the initial patch?

[hard sluice]

i didnt

its a world that was created after the ashland release

i was getting crazy about it, i didnt know if ashlands were unfinished/broken, or if it was skill issues. but i'm having no issues at all when i play in that other world online, which is on hardmode too. i get half the monsters, no performance issues (almost 0*), and i didnt notice the pathfinding problems neither. Its 'easy' compared to the one in my world.

i dont want to continue the one im doing solo. i cant step out of my base, which is on the shore of ashland without being swarmed. everything seems to be doubled. if i see one morgen, i know another is close by. same with valkiries.
I'm curious to know if anyone else had the same problems

i think the performance problems ive been having in ashlands are due to having twice the amount of npcs i should be having.

[patent citrus]

could be just bad luck, also everything in ashlands is able to kill each other, atleast different types do. valkyries and morgens can help you clear that mob, even each other. just keep running and rolling :D spotting a morgen or valkyrie during a swarm is a blessing. especially during ||asksvins|| -_-'

[hard sluice]

i played a good bit already. i got flamemetal, ask and embla armor already. i just was getting frustrated by the amount of mobs i was facing

i went play online hoping that it would be better in a group and realized it wasnt normal

i forgot to mention that its not that bad in all area of 'my' ashland. i went further west and it feels normal. its still dense with mobs, but its 'reasonable'.

[nocturne wolf]

Charred and voltures don't have any friendly fire attacks

[shy marlin]

I've seen summoned charred archers damage fader

[hard sluice]

i was playing online earlier, and getting out of my portal, i got attacked by 2-3 volture, 1 morgen, 3 archers, i warrior and a few twitchers.. thats 'normal' to me. in my ashland, its worse.
i actually started a new game today, i'm hoping to get better luck

[nocturne wolf]

I'm testing this now and the arrows are going through

[shy marlin]

Twas the barrage attack not the single attack, I can send video proof if you need

[solemn cliff]

Is valheim on game pass or not? On the xbox insider hub it shows "You must own Valheim through purchasing the game or having an active Game Pass subscription.", yet i'm stuck on the free trial

[nocturne wolf]

Both attacks are not dealing friendly fire...
Yeah send that video

[shy marlin]

I'll DM it because it's the finale to my no food run lemme find the timestamp rq, actually lemme edit rq and make it a 15 sec clip

[nocturne wolf]

Was is in the current version or an older patch?

[shy marlin]

Current version

[patent citrus]

i suppose they could pose a problem in solo :P

[patent citrus]

but you see, they don't really have a huge attackbox so they wouldn't be of much help anyways, morgens, asksvins and valkyrie's though 🥶

why do some creatures not have starred versions at all

[shy marlin]

I think what makes this scenario weird, is because just as the archer died, it lost aggro and was planning on the barrage attack, and then when i shoot it, it technically gets staggered, which makes it face towards you, and also causing the barrage to hit fader. IDK, this is one of the only times I've seen this barrage do dmg to Fader, and I've grinded many Fader kills in my experience

[tacit crystal]

Imagine 2 star Valkyrie.

[patent citrus]

||Bloodstone's effect|| on an enemy sounds p cool, imagine a mob getting more aggressive and dangerous the more damaged it is

[nocturne wolf]

If the archer was dead when the arrows hit, the arrows won't have an owner so there's nothing to check their faction with.

[patent citrus]

mini boss battle

[shy marlin]

Ah, there's the explanation, nice

[nocturne wolf]

Too tanky

[spice cradle]

is it really coded that way? I would think the owner tag would be set upon creation and not upon contact

[nocturne wolf]

The owner tag is set upon creation but if the enemy dies it doesn't exist any more

So when it checks the owner on contact, there isn't an owner

[tacit crystal]

Interesting.

[patent citrus]

that sounds too complex, why would you update the owner of an attack?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s not being updated.

It could be fixed by saving a separate faction variable so if the enemy dies it still remembers the faction

[shy marlin]

I think I have another instance of this situation, lemme see if relatively the same process happened (Yup same process (archer died mid barrage and did damage, adds up lol)

[patent citrus]

but why would you update the faction or "owner tag" until the arrow or attack has landed or exhausted it's life?

[spice cradle]

it should be able to reference the mob even after it dies, you’d think it’s memory would be reference counted

[patent citrus]

again, i am only asking this because where would you incorporate this feature in the gameplay, where the death of the attacker will affect the damage

[potent fox]

Why the sea biome seem to be just abandonned ? It could have plenty of things to do on the water (like more monsters, abandonned/haunted ships, specials events, kinds of ships, etc..).
Here, we just have 2 or 3 monsters. Nothing more.

I don't understand this choice.

[patent citrus]

i think you're really vulnerable in the ocean, so probably that's why

[shy marlin]

lowkey kinda fine with the ocean being dead, ship combat is awful

[patent citrus]

if there was a way to repair the boat on the fly, it'd be fine ig

[shy marlin]

So that'd eliminated all risks of death really then

[patent citrus]

well you can die on land, so

[potent fox]

Instead of loosing all our things when we die in the ocean, we could have a floating bag. And done, just have to come back to our dead place and get back things

[shy marlin]

Your grave floats

[spice cradle]

that’s already how it works

[patent citrus]

you might be playing on hardcore xD

unintentionally*

[potent fox]

Not joking, I am actually thinking you're right 🫣

[hard sluice]

i killed a 2 star morgen in a putrid hole on hard mode yesterday ^^
with mistland gear*
died 3 times lol*

[patent citrus]

I can't imagine how someone would gather parts for the ||fire sword|| in higher difficulties, starred creatures already have double-triple stats, on higher difficulties it seems impossible 😵‍💫

[shy marlin]

you just play mage and it's legit the same as normal

[patent citrus]

that's like almost endgame though 😭

[shy marlin]

endgame weapon endgame strats

[tacit crystal]

Were the roots of Wild staff even more busted in harder difficulties? Like them dealing more damage too.

[shy marlin]

yep...

[patent citrus]

does it increase the stats of friendly creatures as well? ||like skellets or vines||

[shy marlin]

yep. Bug that has existed since hildirs quest, never addressed

[tacit crystal]

Haven't played that far yet in hard mode, have defeated Yagluth tho and have Black forge already.

[hard sluice]

Maybe I'd play mage if the skellies didn't run into lava and boiling water..!

[merry pebble]

You can play mage without issue even while never using the dead raiser 🙂

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202323242891612230

[hard sluice]

I just prefer to play melee, tbh. The pathfinding of skellies is annoying, but not the main reason why I don't play it.

[merry pebble]

Same here, i prefer melee but also enjoyed my magic playthrough 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is fun in infested mines.

[shy marlin]

ngl i forget that weapon even exists

[rose parcel]

I love the magic shotgun dundr

[shy marlin]

it's cool, just not the best

hard competition when you have troll stav embers and wilds

[rose parcel]

Embers is mid

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is great against Morgen: #memes-and-clips message

[rose parcel]

I like staff of fracturing

[nocturne wolf]

I need to see what happens if someone stands on a log when someone else shoots it with dundr

Or what happens if multiple players shoot a log at the same time

[shy marlin]

huh

[rose parcel]

You heard me

[shy marlin]

long ranged aoe with blunt dmg/fire, zero aggro detection is mid?

🤨

[spice cradle]

he thinks staff of fracturing is better he’s not being serious

[rose parcel]

The damage is not there for how much eitr is being used

[shy marlin]

huh

[nocturne wolf]

Against ashlands enemies maybe, but it's very powerful against seekers

[rose parcel]

Oh I've only tried it on Ashlands

[shy marlin]

ah there's the reason

embers is insane in mistlands and it will probably be insane in deep north too

[spice cradle]

staff of fracturing is probably even worse in Ashlands though

like once in a blue moon it ends up dealing more damage to a single target but it’s incredibly inconsistent

[rose parcel]

It's good on the big targets like fallen valkerie

[shy marlin]

that's just not true

[nocturne wolf]

Staff of fracturing could be very powerful in deep north if the enemies aren't fire resistant (not sure why they would be but we just don't know yet)

[shy marlin]

its good on big targets, but valkyrie isn't one of them

[rose parcel]

Huh? Have you seen how big that bird is?

[shy marlin]

have you seen the bird, idk flying

[spice cradle]

you wanna hit them from above

[nocturne wolf]

Most/all of the projectiles hit the valkyrie instantly rather than bouncing off, I tested it now and the staff of fracturing seemed to work very well

[shy marlin]

it's still better to use other things tho

That's my issue with the staff, there's always just better options

Suffers from battleaxe syndrom

[rose parcel]

Is the bleeding nidhogg good

[nocturne wolf]

The other gems are better

[rose parcel]

Oh

[tacit crystal]

In my experience, Fracturing is better for single target dps and Ember for groups and AoE.

[shy marlin]

And wilds is just the best of both worlds 🤙

[tacit crystal]

Wild and Frost staff is good combo. Slow enemies while they get mauled by vines.

[spice cradle]

the vines already immobilize

[tacit crystal]

Not always. And slowing them makes sure they don't get away from their reach.

[shy marlin]

It's not 100% chance tho

[spice cradle]

I think it’s 10%

[vocal rivet]

Why guess?

[spice cradle]

I’d rather use the eitr on more vines

[spice cradle]

cuz I don’t feel like looking it up?

[vocal rivet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/sb7X6eAuMv I'm sure some here will have an opinion.

[velvet harbor]

do you guys use the berserkir mead at all?

[shy marlin]

yes it's prolly the strongest mead in the game

[tacit crystal]

It's quite OP yeah.

[velvet harbor]

okay. I just wasnt sure if the extra dmg taken was worth it, good to know.

[shy marlin]

If you're worried about the extra damage taken just pop bonemass, bonemass completely overrides the weaknesses and you still are granted the full dmg reduction

1-1 = 1 in the world of valheim

[tacit crystal]

Or Root Harnesk to counter pierce weakness.

[azure yacht]

bonemass

[gray sand]

Valheim math is so fun.

Like how 15 = 13 sometimes, 14 other times, and on occasion actually 15.

[rose parcel]

bonemass easy to fight

[shy marlin]

Or 2*1.5 = 4

Cinema

[rose parcel]

Are Hildir and the Bog Witch lesbians?

[gray sand]

Does it matter?

[rose parcel]

Yes, it would be cool

[gray sand]

[vocal rivet]

In what way. This isn't a dating sim.

[rose parcel]

I meant are they together

[fluid dirge]

huh

[vocal rivet]

Are they even the same species? This is just weird .

[tacit crystal]

Other is dvergr and other is greydwarf..

[fluid dirge]

bogwitch is greydwarf?

[merry pebble]

As far as we know

[tacit crystal]

Much cooler than the rest.

[mellow hill]

any update on the realease date for northland update

[merry pebble]

Nope, but we know it wont be soon and there will be at least one more update before it 🙂

[shy marlin]

and the update before deep north was quoted to be "not anytime soon mate"

[quasi latch]

Ship them if you want, nobody can stop you

[patent citrus]

what's it good at?

[rose parcel]

big targets

[patent citrus]

isn't it like as lethal as a confetti popper?

[rose parcel]

no?

it shreds fallen valkeries and morgens

[patent citrus]

it's the one with many tiny explosions no?

[patent citrus]

that's news fr, gotta test that

[tacit crystal]

It has multiple smaller clusters that deal less blunt than Ember staff but all clusters hitting ramps the fire damage up much higher than Ember.

[eager hazel]

its also really cheap, it was the first one i got when i went to ashlands

[tacit crystal]

Almost criminally cheap really.

[gray sand]

Didn't it used to be like OW Roadhog's alt fire?
Where it shotgunned at a certain distance so the trick was knowing how far away to be to make sure you got the shotgun spread just as it spawned instead of the lower-damage bolt if you hit them too early?

[heady parcel]

So, I found a fortress in Ashlands. I thought I would be clever by clearing the grounds outside methodically - I managed to knock out one of their ballistae up on the parapet so I could approach the wall without being bombarded - but then suddenly a complete horde of charred started jumping down from the walls at me - including a couple of warlocks who quickly made the situation dire. So I ran away...and now I wonder how the <bleep> you assault those places if they can launch bloody airborne counter attacks?

[patent citrus]

oooo

[wooden tapir]

i was lucky enough that a gredwarf nest spawned close enough to haldors camp that i was able to make a farm out of it and can sit in the safety of the bubble as it runs

without triggering raids

[nimble moss]

its even worse - because that quote is for the PTB version of combat patch - i.e. to even start our testing

[shy marlin]

mhm

A combat update where they didn't even think to consider poison dmg

[nimble moss]

I'm so keen - looking forward to some new trick finding stuff

[nimble moss]

You misunderstand - poision works on enemy chests - so its clearly buffed 🙂

[shy marlin]

I'm interested in the new mechanics but there's some systems that I clearly want to be reworked and just from what I've seen it's not happening

oh well 🐴 beaten to death

I'll be sure to leave my long winded feedback once the ptb comes around

[flat brook]

anyone knows of any copper mining mod?? vanilla like

[junior chasm]

Just fought the queen for my first time and died at half life cause she burrowed above me and i didnt see while distracted by seekers and she spit, but otherwise came back and finished her -- was pure mage build with 2 EITR food and one 55/55 feast 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Mods aren't vanila, of course. But #mods-discussion might be able to help with some mod suggestions. Your other option would be just to temporarily up the drop rate if getting copper was difficult for you.

[flat brook]

the issue is that i dont have much time to play, or rather dont want to waste the time i got digging around giant copper nodes, and wasting like 2 hours in the process, just for it to keep hanging on the air and not collpasing because the actual support nodes hitboxes are so hard to predict how they behave. thx for the tip ill switch to #mods-discussion.

[vocal rivet]

2 hours? You can get what you need in 10-20 minutes or so then just move onto the next. Trying to dismantle entire veins is a weird thing that people are obsessed with. Most of the time the hitbox extends below the dig limit anyway so it's kinda pointless.

[lapis depot]

Assuming you're in a single player world, why not turn up the resource rate a little?

[frank wharf]

would anyone be interested in starting a new world? i was playing with my brother but he decided to spawn a bunch of end game loot and ruin it for himself lol but if ur down just add me

[teal stag]

catapults in mountains are awesome 😭

kerbal space program lore

me and friend of mine lost 1 highest tier weapon each because ||for some reason you can catapult them by mistake -_-||

[lapis depot]

They're the hard mode version of item stands

[teal stag]

it's a very footgun design, probably intentional

having a separate launch lever would've been much better

[undone forum]

You assault them very carefully

If you want I can tell you exactly how I did my first one

[carmine sapphire]

is it me or is spinesnap kind of ... bad?

[shy marlin]

uh it's you

It's a better version of draugr bow, and it's really good in the ashlands

And it's also giga cheap

[wooden tapir]

fire resist meads

look at the sky

it will make sense when you start

[carmine sapphire]

The dmg is marginally better and its 40% more stamina hungry

[carmine sapphire]

Draugr lvl4 is 76 total dmg, spinesnap lvl3 is 80 (without the spirit which most things like fulings and seekers are immune to)

Thats like 6% more dmg for 40% more stamina

And im not accounting for arrows
With arrows adding ~70 dmg it looks even worse, like 3% more dmg

I assume its useful in ashlands but in mistlands it just seems bad to me

Like a straight up downgrade

[shy marlin]

Spinesnap has 40% higher stamina cost but adds more than 40% pierce damage over draugr fang.

It's just better

And also mind you, draugr fangs poison does not stack

[carmine sapphire]

Sure but seekers are immune to pierce and not poison

[shy marlin]

The poison is so little anyways it doesn't make a lick of difference

Spinesnap still wins

Only argument that makes sense is when you're sneak hitting seekers (to increase the initial poison dmg hit), (say like when you're sniping off some near the mines), but at that point, you should use huntsman bow and gurantee multiple sneak hits on seekers with frost arrows

[plush umbra]

immune? they're only resistant (x0.5)

[shy marlin]

I'd also like to remind that huge parts of mistlands is dealing with weak points like the gjall weak point which is only weak to pierce, and the seeker butt, and having a higher initial pierce dmg is much more inflated by the weak point modifier

So while that extra 4 stam per second seems daunting, it's well worth the investment

[nimble moss]

Come Ashlands you'll be wanting the Spirit damage.

[nimble moss]

its not 76 vs 80.

its 56 piece vs 80 piece. As Scales said - poision is just useless.

Just try it - you'll see which wins.

At the end of the day - if you like Draugr more - just use that. You do you. If you want to min/max - then have both Huntsman (to solo pull) and Spinesnap (to DPS)

[wooden tapir]

i never crafted the spinesnap, i continued using Draugr all the way through ashlands just because i liked the look

[heady parcel]

I tend to skip draugr and keep Huntsman bow until I can make Spinesnap. Draugr feels very underwhelming most times and the sneaky attribute of the Huntsman is VERY useful when raiding fuling villages in plains.

[haughty leaf]

In the mistlands I found a guard tower that's complete no damage... looks great. There are about 6 or 7 Dvergs in it all watching me walk around ready to shoot me 😦 Now is it worth fighting them for the tower and use it as a base? or are there going to be Dvergs spawning in from time to time to fight me for it back?

[merry pebble]

They will not spawn again if you kill them, but if you destroy the ward by cart they will not attack you even of you hit stuff around 🙂 (you still can't hit them if you don't want to aggro them ofc)

[haughty leaf]

Oh Ok... guess Ill figure a way to take them out one by one.. they have a few 1 star mages with them.. I have not attacked any of them so far in the mistlands.. so i dont really know how hard they hit lol

[merry pebble]

The mages hit quite hard, especially starred ones, so be very carefull.

[vernal pebble]

How do people bypass those zones where you can't build

[wooden tapir]

120 days in and havent found bog witch yet ):

[heady parcel]

The starred mages are quite likely to wreck much of the tower if you fight them inside, so if you go down that route try and lure them outside. Personally, I'd try to lure a seeker soldier or two to the site and let them duke it out..

[heady parcel]

What zones would that be? Around the forsaken altars?

[vernal pebble]

Yea or upgrades around crafting stations

[heady parcel]

Well, you can't build on the forsaken site, unless there is some mods enabling it (ask in #mods-discussion if you like). As for crafting station upgrades placement of those can be frustratingly restrictive, making it difficult to place them in a logical manner but still have them in range. All you can do is move around trying to find that magic pixel where you are allowed to place them - and hope it is not smack in the middle of your hallway.

Dunno if the placement logic is something still being polished, I'm hoping it will be a little less restrictive come 1.0.

[vernal pebble]

I hate that rugs instantly make every upgrade impossible to place

[heady parcel]

You can remove the rug, place your stuff and then put the rug back. Rugs aren't picky in the same manner

[wary bane]

The bellows are the pickiest in my experience

[haughty leaf]

There are a few at the front door and some on the top. And I think 1 on the 2nd floor. If I agro the ones at the front door are the all going to agro? The ones on top ect...?

[heady parcel]

They will all turn hostile, but if they all become alerted and come rushing at you depends on the distance, unfortunately they are probably close enough to hear the commotion downstairs and come to investigate

[haughty leaf]

Ok thanks I'll get ready for a good fight then... Thanks again...

[tacit crystal]

Take mages first, priority order (IMO): frost > lantern > fire.

[haughty leaf]

Well I took them all out... but the mage on top did some damage to the top floor and the 2nd lvl floor. So far all I can repair in the tower is the black marble. Can you repair the wood floor and beams in those towers and I just have not unlocked something yet? Or you cant and I just have to rebuild it with different mats?

[merry pebble]

You cannot fix those sadly

[mellow shoal]

anyone wants to play valhiem?

[tepid prawn]

#1024264966712340510 and say which timezone and location on this planet 🙂

[light moat]

Been playing Valheim for literally years. The building in this game is still just ridiculously good.

[onyx lava]

Deer trophy uses? i have 50

[merry pebble]

Summoning Eikthyr 🙂

You can also make stagbreaker with them 😄

to fully upgrade it you need 17

[onyx lava]

Ty

[tacit crystal]

Fuel to the Obliterator.

[onyx lava]

cool

[earnest dust]

yall reckon the new update drops next month?

[shy marlin]

nah, to quote smiffe, "Not anytime soon mate"

[merry pebble]

We have no idea of knowing really 🙂

[earnest dust]

have faith

[wintry valve]

but im not using faith scaling weapons

[shy marlin]

All I hope is that they get the combat update right

I prolly care about that update more than the deep north update

[tacit crystal]

Ngl I'm also looking forward for that update a lot.

[shy marlin]

And the new med/light set 🤙

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, we get to figure out which animals' skull it is.

[warm sandal]

i have no clue what that skull would be, but there isi plains in the background and it would make sense to get a light plains armor in there... so what if we get another mob for the plains? I am soooo curious what's it gonna be

[tacit crystal]

Many speculated it would be valkyrie/volture skull, but it does have fangs and teeth instead of beak, it looks more like canine to me.

[shy marlin]

It's gotta be a new enemy in an earlier biome

Similar to how root set was introduced with the abom

Also makes zero sense for ashlands to have a 4th armor imo

[onyx lava]

Big cat?

[warm sandal]

there is already so many armorsets in the ashlands... i do not think it will that... I think it will be some new mob in earlier biomes... probably plains 😄

[onyx lava]

Plains reminds me more of savannah, lion or cheetah

[tacit crystal]

Could be that too.

[iron crane]

is anyone here good at building?

[warm sandal]

define good... Scales is very skilled I'd say 😄

you gotta look at his videos... incredible

[iron crane]

hahaha, will take a look. I just need help building a post bonemass base on my world would love anyone whos keen to come hop on!

[warm sandal]

I do love building but sorry I am not a stonemason for hire 😄 If you want inspiration you can go look at my building videos for beginners 😄

nowhere near Scales skills but a home to be living in 😄

[iron crane]

haha will check you out. thanks lol

cool twitch good luck with your streaming venture!

thanks!

[hazy willow]

so the next update is the deep north biome?

[shy marlin]

Nope, next update is a combat update

[hazy willow]

i mean final major update

[shy marlin]

yea

[hazy willow]

and then the game releases in 1.0?

[shy marlin]

Deep north is 1.0 yea

[hazy willow]

could that happen this year?

[shy marlin]

My speculation, no.

Would love to be pleasantly suprised though

[tacit crystal]

First one could be more likely IMO but that will remain to be seen.

[shy marlin]

The combat update is quoted to be, not anytime soon so that's my reasoning

Yea combat update this year is entirely possible, just have to wait and see

[hazy willow]

so i guess the game right now is kinda nearly finished?

[tacit crystal]

Not during Summer at least I think.

[tacit crystal]

1.0 will add the end for the game, afterwards we are getting at least bug fixes and other improvements, but any smaller additions could be possible too, depends on what they want to add to the game afterwards.

[hazy willow]

alright

gonna buy it when it goes on sale this month

[tacit crystal]

It's worth the money for sure.

[hazy willow]

I think the deep north update would release sometime during christmass this year (if it even releases this year)

[wintry valve]

[...] Summer [...] -Joelkkii

update coming this summer 100% confirmed dont ask my sources

[tacit crystal]

"Not anytime soon" would suggest otherwise.

My speculation is that not during Summer.

[hazy willow]

wouldnt make sense to release a snowy biome update during the summer lmao

[tacit crystal]

And I was speaking about the combat update, not Deep North.

[hazy willow]

ah

[tacit crystal]

Combat update could be more likely be released this year than Deep North.

But don't take my words as proof, I'm just speculating.

[vocal rivet]

I don't see how the IRL season would affect that.

[hazy willow]

well if the update is ready to release in summer then i wont mind that either

[willow summit]

I doubt we’ll see anything before the end of the year, if then

[pliant hatch]

Someone should make a Gif out of this:

When's the Deep North released?
When it's ready.
When is it ready?
When the Devs are happy with the result.
And when will that be?
When the Deep North is going to be released.

[azure yacht]

especially when it's not ready

[azure yacht]

it won't

[steel basin]

are you able to create a flat world yet? jiroc world hasnt been updated since 2023 and crashes my game, idk if out of bounds still exist

[vocal rivet]

No, this isn't Minecraft.

[shy marlin]

Out of bonds does exist, go off the edge of the world and you have a completely flat area

[steel basin]

No shit sherlock, I'm just looking for a place to get my blueprint structures done.
@shy marlin I was wondering if it wasn't patched/restricted in some way, haven't played in some time, thanks.

[shy marlin]

Hasn’t changed in the past years no

[vocal rivet]

Charming. Learn to build WITH the terrain. It's more fun.

[shy marlin]

Tbf sometimes it’s nice to have something flat already prepped, and then once you incorporate it you work with terrain, all part of the creative process. Ninebyte does this extremely well

[vocal rivet]

Wtf is that emoji?

[shy marlin]

Don’t even bother it’s zoomer stuff

-fellow zoomer

[vocal rivet]

I'd like to know if I should take it positively or negatively though.

[shy marlin]

Negatively

[chrome badge]

To be fair, I don't think they can build a blueprint of sorts with one generation of terrain, which is the problem they likely have. The demeanor could use some work for sure.

[vocal rivet]

I did suspect that. Shame.

[steel basin]

Yeah, you often encounter stability issues if you don't build on a perfectly flat ground, if you have it though you can just clip a structure inside terrain iirc

[chrome badge]

I don't see flat worlds ever being a thing tbh, unless they add generation modifiers, but a command to flatten to the terrain limitations within a radius might not be such a huge ask.

[agile fox]

Anyone here under the age of 18 who wants to play some valheim in a duo world?

[vocal rivet]

You're probably going to have to go with a mod for that one then.

[light moat]

I was also really curious about the pregnant emoji, I have no idea what it means 😂

[vocal rivet]

Oh, another one. That makes three. To ModMail it is then.

[pliant hatch]

I think it means: "I don't like what you're saying, so I'm going to use an emoji you don't understand for every reply you post to what I say, just to troll you."

[vocal rivet]

I didn't know we had a creche.

[chrome badge]

It's always a good sign of intelligence to root around for a react emoji rather than just say what you're thinking anyways. It kinda backfires in my eyes 😅

[pliant hatch]

You're not the only one. I thought minimum age was 13, so some might have used fake ID's to enter.

[light moat]

I like to use reactions to just kinda say something without typing an entire message most of the time, I try not to be offensive while using them

[chrome badge]

Ah I mostly meant in the negative context anyways, not the way you use them 👍

[light moat]

Ahhh gotcha, that makes! 👍

[pliant hatch]

And how should I look at something that's representing a dinosaur?
Does it mean I'm just as old as one - because if it does, it also makes me the oldest Valheim player there is......... - or does it mean my knowledge of something is as old as a dinosaur? Which kinda could mean the same thing.

[vocal rivet]

I think we've already given it too much thought.

[azure yacht]

that's part of the game's charm. you are meant to work on terraforming

[light moat]

I reacted with the Dinosaur first, I was just proving your point sorry! I’ll put the brontosaurus away

And for the record, I absolutely was not trying to make an old person joke 😂

[pliant hatch]

Ah, so it means that the thing I said is sort of "as old as a dinosaur."

So the pre-historical version of "This". Got it.

[steel basin]

Building prefabs in out of bounds has been a thing for YEARS.

[vocal rivet]

So has war. Doesn't make it good.

[prime moth]

is there a bonemass locator outside the crypts?

[steel basin]

Please just go to reddit man

I think they can be found in ruined stone buildings? 🤔

Yes

[azure yacht]

and...?

[prime moth]

k ill check there. been to like 8 swamps and gettin lost lol

thanks 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Not that I'm aware of.

So far the ones I know of that do are Moder (frost caves? and tower ruins) and the Elder (burial crypts and tower ruins)

[vocal rivet]

Who was that aimed at and why?

[steel basin]

No idea

It may be better to ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

That channel is dedicated for requests like that.

It may take some time before someone replies, but that's also because this is a global server so someone who may be interested may not have seen your message yet.

[vocal rivet]

The 16 minute old post is the one you're referring to?

[agile fox]

No one answers, what do yall not understand

[heady parcel]

You won't get any answers in here but the kind you just got, the lfg channel is the dedicated one.

[near furnace]

yeah. sadly discord isn't the fastest place to quickly find people to play with

[light moat]

Hmm I don’t know, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 seems to be pretty active 🤔 looks like people are finding games pretty quickly I’d say

[vocal rivet]

I'd also say, at least anecdotally, most active members are over 25.

[hearty niche]

I, too, am old af

[pliant hatch]

It may depend at the kind of play one may have in mind. But the one having a Pegi-18 rating won't be found here for certain. 😄

[hearty niche]

My first pet was a stegosaurus.

[hearty niche]

I always (half) joke to my friends that if a stranger walked up to me on the street and said "Meitbual! Wanna start a new Valheim character on my new world?" I would say "Hell yes, stranger!"

I ought to give that a try sometime.

I go back and forth using frost and charred arrows

[heady parcel]

Yeah I don't use them on regular charred anymore, but starred warriors and the bigger things..

Took me a while getting that two-star wolf, now that I have my house full of them I just wanna kill them, they are constantly blocking the staircase 😅 #screenshots message

[heady parcel]

Every time I successfully drop a tree on a greyling I feel the most irrational satisfaction.

[near furnace]

it's a mod issue

your old mods left permanent settings on valheim, so you need to explain to valheim that valheim should be bigger than 1x1 pixel 🤔

[solid merlin]

Anyone wanna start a world

[spiral gate]

There is #1024264966712340510 for such things

[teal stag]

does item weight and wind affect catapult mechanics?

[fresh terrace]

valheim has catapults?

things just got epic.

[teal stag]

late game things, yeah

but seriously, does anyone know?

[shy marlin]

FYI - testing shows that nothing affects catapult speed/distance

Wind direction and intensity - no
Lightmead/Haste mead - no
Fader buff - no
Fenris blessing - no

In fact - the game considers you at "0m/s" speed - which made me realise that is why none of the speed modifiers affect it - your not moving yourself - its just the initlal physics.

The only thing that matters is the feather cape obviously.

Data from @nimble moss

[solid merlin]

Anyone wanna starta world with me?

[teal stag]

it's not about launching myself 😭

[shy marlin]

The answer lies within that though, nothing affects projectiles

[teal stag]

i'm trying to replicate how my sword flew away

ok ty

[shy marlin]

Ah, there's always gonna be some slight variations due to initial placements tho, I know that myself to be true, if you wanna find where your sword went, send some items and look for where they went, sword will be in that area ish

If you can't find it, I feel like dev commands would be justified if it was an accident

[teal stag]

nah bro, dev commands are for cheaters

i once had a terrible desync and had to re-farm top tier mistlands armor

[shy marlin]

[teal stag]

dev decision to split player and world saves was a horrible idea in my opinion

[tiny tiger]

It’s like how terraria does it and allows you to travel to multiple worlds with one character, what’s not to like about that?

[teal stag]

when your power goes out for example or if server crashes, you either get dupped items or lose items you had

and I personally see very little usage from roaming between servers with same player save because you can easily disrupt other server progression "route", ruining game experience for others in the process

like bringing one-per-world sword to another server

it's basically legal cheating in a game where difficulty is one of it's core features if you can say it like that

[fresh terrace]

i agree

but to be fair, the game is what you make of it - there’s ways to cheat in every game and i think the item syncing just makes actual hacking less interesting

personally i think if you want the game to be hard just put your stuff in a chest

[teal stag]

i don't see how making hacking less interesting benefits anyone, but i totally agree that the game is what you make of it. items desyncs are much more frustrating for players that want to play game more seriously, or in the "intended" way

[nimble moss]

…how often does this happen for you? I can’t imagine it’s often?

If you accidently get duped items, just drop them on the ground?

The game is designed for solo/small friend coop using what is known as “client authoritative” networking.

By designing it like that it has kept complexity down, and it is very successful as a result.

[teal stag]

it happened a 2-3 times to me and few times to my friends if that is what you interested about

If you accidently get duped items, just drop them on the ground?
and if you lost some items just cheat 🙄 because you remember every single item that was in your inventory

i'm not saying it's a dealbreaker but it's very frustrating

[light moat]

I think it would be a lot more frustrating the other way around- if characters and worlds were tied together 🤔

[shy marlin]

only problem i have with current system is remembering which chars go with what world but now i just give em the same name

[tiny tiger]

Yeah there’s cons to either way of doing it it’s up to player preference really but I like how it’s done in valheim and terraria

I guess it depends on what you value, I enjoy the greater freedom for characters by not having them tied to a world

You can decide at any point that this world isn’t for you and travel to another world with no loss to character progression

[tiny tiger]

Having atleast the worlds the characters used last in order come up at the top after character selection would help alleviate this issue

[shy marlin]

Just spitballing, it might also be cool to have a world modifier thats like, one char only

[tiny tiger]

For sure, especially for multiplayer worlds

[fresh terrace]

well all im saying is its an easier alternitave to hacking for items - which i feel would make glitch abuse less common

[teal stag]

i tested a bit and wind and weight indeed have no effect on catapult

[heady parcel]

Yeah as a server-side modifier that would make a lot of sense. I would like to "lock" my server so it would only accept characters who have not been on other worlds. You wouldn't be "locked" to the server, you would just not be able to return if you hopped on another server or a solo world on that character. Just a small thing to make a server/world a little more "hardcore".

[tacit crystal]

Almost same, similarly named character and world.

[heady parcel]

It's been my method the last couple of worlds too. Character name + "heim"...

[tacit crystal]

Character name + "la" for me.

[urban ivy]

Does anyone here watch people play Valheim on Twitch, or have a particular favourite Valheim youtuber? If so, please can you tell me their names so I can check them out?

There are so many of them, I get a bit overwhelmed with all the choice.

I've watched a good few Chiselchip build videos. He's pretty much stopped making Valheim content though, but the old videos are good and his builds are really cool.

[tepid prawn]

where the catapult is, what height above sea level affects somethin haha

[compact wadi]

So, if I've understood correctly, we'll have to wait a bit for Deep North (not anytime soon), which seems normal to me. It will probably be for 2026 (maybe for the 5 years of the early access ?).
On the other hand, I'm curious about the combat mechanics update announced last month 👀

[visual mauve]

Hello all

[merry pebble]

We all are 😄 but that also has "not anytime soon" mark on it

[tacit crystal]

"Not anytime soon" could implicate not during Summer at least, but likely this year.

Just my speculation tho, don't take my words as proof.

[near furnace]

Combat update comes out before Deep north yes
Combat update doesn't delay Deep north tho

[compact wadi]

Thanks

[compact wadi]

Maybe for the end of Summer/ beginning of Autumn.

[plush umbra]

Just wait until skelly bois visit you.

Rancid remains spawn outside burial chambers during 2 raids.

[shy marlin]

ngl i forget that hildir raids even exist

Except for the bros that's a good one

[merry pebble]

I dont like that one 😄 most destructive out of all of them

[tacit crystal]

Ngl it makes me feel bad to break the bro code.

[shy marlin]

i don't

they broke the code when they stole hildirs stuff, they got what they deserved

[azure yacht]

sorry, our collective future-seeing powers as Valheim's discord server users are disabled this time. ask again in.. six months. when the planets are slightly more aligned

[tacit crystal]

Hmm true. And it is always fun to return to plains to decimate some villages to test new toys from next biomes.

[prime moth]

im about to try walking a cart down the biggest mountain ive ever seen in the game. how unsafe is this?

[tacit crystal]

Drop cart, follow it. If it breaks you can build it again.

[prime moth]

aye aye 🫡

[prime moth]

crystal axe made yippee

[shy marlin]

Best wood cutter in the game

No other use 😏

[prime moth]

yeah lowkey kinda why i made it

the special attack is very funny

[shy marlin]

they're so close to being a good option in combat

[tacit crystal]

I unironically like using it actively in battle. No MTP is great against groups, poke creates space and higher stagger multiplier of primary attacks gives surety to keep even bigger mobs staggered, like here: #memes-and-clips message (SPOILER incase you haven't been in Plains).

[shy marlin]

why use battleaxe when sword exist

and if it's used as a stagger weapon then just atgeir

It's a good enough weapon, just other things do the things it does just better 😢

And the first hit of the battleaxe is slow it really can't be used effectively as a cleaving hit without you getting hit yourself

[tacit crystal]

It fits my playstyle well at least. Jumping gives some desired positioning and movement for the first attack. And I like how it staggers more possibly and also deals good damage and has no MTP.

Also, the clip is from my 2h challenge run, so I have used battleaxe a lot in that run lol.

[shy marlin]

Yea I understand, but all of that 1h sword just does better 😢

It'd benefit so much for the first hit to just be slightly faster

It'd actually become a really really good weapon

[tacit crystal]

I agree with that, slightly faster first attack and the combo would be greater.

And movement speed penalty change, hopeful that the upcoming combat update addresses to that (plus adds some new ones to later biomes!).

Also, maybe slight damage buff? My reasoning: #suggestion-discussion message

[marble pumice]

out of curiosity, do leviathans ever despawn? (assuming you don't make them submerge)

[nocturne wolf]

They'll only despawn if they fully sink

[marble pumice]

ty, i assumed so. i just ran into two that are practically touching

[quasi latch]

2h axe is fun, but there's better options for everything it does. Except with regards to saved inventory slots

Please remember to eat. Running around at 25 health and 50 stamina is quite bad for your longevity.

[frigid gust]

How does that work with starred 'zerkers though? Those are the ones I have the most problems with initially.

[nocturne wolf]

My favourite weapon for starred berserkers is flesh rippers because the two hit combo is good for the short time you have to attack.

[shy marlin]

Eh I did it for an entire playthru health risks are negligible

[merry pebble]

for some* 😉

[cedar sparrow]

I am definitely not included in that some LOL. I die way too often

[shy marlin]

Tbh I think that some is like 1-4 people

[cedar sparrow]

I've been playing trophy hunt playthroughs with a friend and it was a while before my score was in the positive numbers, LOLOL

[shy marlin]

That's cool tho, trophy hunt is fun

[cedar sparrow]

It really is! At least I have the fun of knowing I have him beat on the number of trophies collected in four hours. I just need to stop dying so much 😂 But hey, it's only a game. Not worth getting my knickers in a knot over it 😄

[tacit crystal]

Gotta test some.

[potent marsh]

So I know there is at least one mod that you can add npcs to your base and stuff like that. But has the dev made any comments about the idea of adding something like that to the vanilla game?

[vocal rivet]

Definitely not. It's just not that kind of game.

[potent marsh]

Yeah that was my thought. It didn’t seem like that kind of game. I just get lonely in my bases 😂😂😂 I prefer playing solo but it just gets lonely at times hahaha

[cedar sparrow]

Spawn some things in using devcommands. Or push a few enemies into a little "house" that will keep them in place. You can then listen to them grumble whenever you pass by them 😂

[golden granite]

Is using swords viable in the game? I followed the usual advice or mace and stopped at the plains. Thinkikg of restarting and trying a different weapon. Should I just go mace again?

[frigid gust]

Why restart? The game is really built around using multiple weapons, ideally. Different enemies have different weaknesses, and swords are quite powerful against most things.

[merry pebble]

They are on par with macesi would say 🙂 + no multitarget penalty and another plus (subjective) is that they dont have that large of a knockback

[quasi latch]

Every weapon is viable, some are just slightly harder than others depending on the situation

It's personal preference mostly
