I would not recommend attempting the side quest before you're properly geared though, even with good gear. The rewards also isn't particularly good considering the effort you have to put in to get it (Part of me wants to say it'll probably be very good in the final biome, but I'm not sure it'll be worth it proportional to the effort).

#

I already got those

#

But idk how to light the fireworks

#

Oh god it's just so good finding that one petrified bone when you're fresh out of soft tissue

#

insert that picture of that fortnite default skin finding a gold scar

#

What are catapults used for? Raiding fortresses?

errant knoll
errant knoll
agile temple
#

🤨

#

I kinda wanna make one but it seems... unviable

#

Like a cart that can attack

errant knoll
#

I never bothered with a catapult for the fortresses I just used the battering ram

#

Even that isn't strictly speaking necessary though.

agile temple
#

I would use the battering ram but I am nowhere near strong enough to take the fortress forces head on

#

But I do have one regardless, for the central tower

errant knoll
agile temple
#

alr just finished making the entire embla set, really hope this is good and i didn't waste boatloads of refined eitr

errant knoll
#

It's just Eitr weave but better really, more armor, faster eitr regen

agile temple
#

I'm still not great at playing mage

#

I think I'll farm level up my elemental magic by using the ice wand on loxs

errant knoll
#

It's heresy to some people here but I used embla chest and legs with Flametal helmet, you have the same eitr regen as pure eitr weave from the prior biome but the helm adds a lot more armor. Used the Ashen cape to add even more armor.

#

I essentially played more of a Magic Knight build.

heady parcel
#

Cleared my first fortress. Now I've spent a good deal of time terraforming the courtyard to make it nice and flat to start building something, but of course I get zero ideas on how to build. Dangit. Unsure what to do with the central keep. Maybe simply just use it as a chimney?

agile temple
#

I destroyed the side walls in the center and put my stone portal there

errant knoll
#

I still haven't built a base in the ashlands yet, probably will do it sometime.

It's worth noting that where those fortresses are placed are a no-spawn zone

#

So if you wanted to build your own thing in place they can be a good spot to do so

heady parcel
#

It has a vaegvisir in the chamber, and those buggers are indestructible so I'm kinda limited on options on the ground floor

errant knoll
#

But of course the fortresses are immune to damage, your buildable stuff is not

nocturne wolf
errant knoll
merry pebble
#

Heh, at least one enemy can destroy them 😄 but you wont encounter him out in the wild

errant knoll
#

yes.

nocturne wolf
errant knoll
#

Basically if the fortress is being destroyed its because of the actions the player themselves, have taken.

#

Not because e.g. a Valkyrie or Morgen strayed a bit too close to it.

errant knoll
#

The teaser screenshots I've seen for deep north so far make me believe it's a place I'm likely to want to explore due to it being kinda pretty, even if it's a bit of a wasteland

merry pebble
#

Yeah, pretty much all of the teasers of the nature have been so pretty 😄

errant knoll
#

Yeah, I want to explore the mistlands even after being done with it to find those pretty spots to build in. By contrast I have 0 desire to explore the ashlands now that I'm done with it, when I go back it'll be to finish the sidequest and that's it.

#

And before anyone says "you can't see anything pretty in the mistlands" there are pockets where the mist fades and it becomes that much more special!

merry pebble
#

Yeah, Ashlands being wasteland consumed by fire and battle is the intended design, tho the unfortunate side effect imo is that less people will have the desire to build there compared to most other biomes 🙂

errant knoll
#

Yeah, I understand the design - but given Exploration is a rather large thing in Valheim, a Biome that makes you not want to explore feels like it's fundamentally doing something very wrong

#

To some extent the swamp is like this too I think, but it's not as bad as the ashlands is for that

merry pebble
#

It is only one of 9 biomes 😄 having one of them being dedicated battlefield is fine in my book

sterile vessel
#

whats a good server host for dedicated server? Something that lets me mod the server very easy as I would have about 50-60 mods

errant knoll
#

Literally I only explore those 2 biomes because the game demands it to progress

#

No other reason. Not true in the other biomes.

merry pebble
errant knoll
#

Ashlands will just be to get Ashwood whenever I run out now lol, because plebian wood looks so ugly to build with

agile temple
#

I like how if you aim the staff of fracturing high up, it basically becomes a cluster mortar or just fireworks

merry pebble
#

Surtling core, black core and thunderstone are the true, proper, fireworks 😉

errant knoll
nocturne wolf
#

You need to be pretty far for it to split before impact, unless you're using it as a sniper it's nothing to worry about

errant knoll
#

You need so much precision for it to outdo the staff of embers at range, and it's only better in single target anyway

errant knoll
heady parcel
#

Yeah, I think the central keep will basically just be support and smokestack

errant knoll
#

Staff of embers arcs too, but its a big aoe burst so you don't need to be THAT precise. Crossbows and bows are far more precise

#

And unless the enemy is particularly massive, im rarely doing damage that will outdo staff of embers with it unless I'm basically right next to them to one tap them with it

#

so basically I consider it to be like 90% "Dundr, but fire damage instead"

nocturne wolf
#

Hopefully deep north enemies don't resist fire, the fire damage per hit of the staff of fracturing is so high when upgraded

agile temple
#

so it's trash

errant knoll
#

But it only really feels practical in melee range atm

tacit crystal
errant knoll
#

Or vs like a valkyrie or something.

#

Like if an Asksvin runs up to me I'll wait for them to get close, hit them with fracturing and watch them both get knocked back a great deal (another benefit of the staff, it makes space between you), and their health bars kinda melt

nocturne wolf
#

Valkyries are 50% resistant to fire instead of 75% resistant like most other creatures in ashlands so it's very good against them

steel mica
#

I have arrived

#

and just woken up ☕

errant knoll
# agile temple so it's trash

TL:DR - It'll probably fill a similar kind of role to like Mistwalker or the Himminafi where it gets a lot better in the next biome.

agile temple
#

holy crap maybe mage isn't as bad as i made it out to be

errant knoll
#

Im expecting Deep north enemies to be pretty big, and since it's an ice biome I'm expecting lots of fire weakness

agile temple
#

i just won an all-out brawl with an asksvin, a valkyrie, a morgen and many ash warriors

#

i retract every bad thing i said about the staff of fracturing 🙏

tacit crystal
errant knoll
#

Mage build is probably the most powerful one in the game tbh

nocturne wolf
agile temple
#

I just spam red bubble every time I get "hit"

errant knoll
#

YEP! Staff of protection, probably the best "weapon" in the entire game

agile temple

I'm a pussy like that

tacit crystal
#

Jump casting is the strongest ability for mages.

errant knoll

errant knoll

Specifically with that bubble it's a big difference

nocturne wolf

Jump attacking is useful for everything

tacit crystal

Feather cape best cape

errant knoll
#

I rock the feather cape whenever I revisit the mistlands, work on one of my tall bases, or mine a flametal pillar (imo those should be reverted so they sink more often again, give us more of a reason to use the queens forsaken power)

nocturne wolf
#

The queen's power is so op because it increases the pierce damage on pickaxes to deal slightly more damage to enemies NeckSmilepickaxejaw_drop

tacit crystal
#

I prefer Ashen cape (and melee gameplay). Just that I've gotten used to Flametal helmet and now I've been rocking more with Ask set the collar part of the cape clips through the hood and it irritates me a bit.

errant knoll
#

More specifically, queens power increasing pickaxe damage means you hit flametal nodes less to get the resources from them, meaning the pillar is less likely to start sinking, and if it does, you can gather more flametal before leaving.

But since they sink extremely rarely now that factor stopped mattering. I really liked that that aspect of the power actually had a scenario where it mattered more than just "do thing faster" unlike the elders power

nocturne wolf
errant knoll
#

Would be really cool if the elders power actually had some kind of niche where it was more than just "cut down trees faster" (I maintain that there should be a "tree-like" trait enemies can have in the game and that elder gives you better slash damage against them, like e.g. greydwarves, abominations)

nocturne wolf
#

Elder power - Increased knockback vs logs so you can use them more effectively as weapons

agile temple
nocturne wolf
#

That would be so cool with dundr

agile temple
#

The forsaken powers should be stronger in general, considering the 20 minute thing

errant knoll
nocturne wolf
#

We already have bonemass for increased tankiness anyway

tacit crystal
agile temple
#

I really wanna feel like I'm using the power of a mad god I've slain

errant knoll
#

I kinda like the idea of a power negating death once but I don't think Elder is a good place to put it (unfortunately I'm not sure where IS a good place to put it. Fader, maybe? Since apparently his flame used to give life)

nocturne wolf
agile temple
#

I really like the music in the ashlands. It sells the "long lost ruined ancient city with a tragic past" vibe

#

Someone... burnt their way into my fortress while I was gone and left 2 surtling cores and 10 flametal on my doorstep..? 🤨

#

Oh wait crap no it's my battering ram, it broke

errant knoll
#

Was about to say, fairly sure those are the mats for a battering ram lol

#

I should know I build them often enough

#

They're EXCELLENT for resource gathering. No more getting my pickaxe or my axe out like some filthy commoner

nocturne wolf
#

Their best use is destroying stone golems in one hit 💥 SmilingNeck

tacit crystal
errant knoll
agile temple
#

Having 1 stone portal is essentially just having stone portals everywhere

#

With a little bit of teleporting and renaming

errant knoll
#

You need 2 stone portals really, given the resources for a stonecutter can't be taken through a wood portal

agile temple
#

Oh right right

heady parcel
#

Gods, I'm gonna have to chase my wolves out of the house, they are constantly blocking the staircase so I have to go outside and climb the damn building

But you're correct

once you have 2 stone portals you can move anything anywhere if you sequence your actions properly

These are my named buddies, not for eating!

I would say "no, I can't kill my babies"... unfortunately I have no wolves tamed

#

I have some hens and Asksvin in my mountains base, thats about it.

...I didn't realise how badly Asksvin models would clip through walls. It looks so bad lol.

tacit crystal
agile temple
#

I have nothing tamed

#

I sat still for 30 minutes taming a single boar before trolls raided my house the VERY SECOND I finished taming the boar and stomped it in one attack

#

Ever since then I just decided taming isn't for me

errant knoll
#

Like I have my 2 star asksvin here, their heads keep clipping through the iron bars and grausten walls. It genuinely looks so awful and I'm like, do they only have collision in the centre of their models? It looks so bad

heady parcel
#

I keep my asksvin in a small wooden barn in meadows, when I walk up to it half the time I think they have eaten it and escaped because they're poking out of the walls left and right

errant knoll
#

It makes me regret trying to build an indoor pen for them

#

I hate, HATE how the clipping looks

agile temple
#

Stone portal looks sick

#

Really does look powerful

errant knoll
#

It did not copy correctly

heady parcel
#

I believe all creatures have collision to a certain range from the center of the model. Which implies that asksvin are indeed just necks with big egos

merry pebble
#

Yep, that was quite the blue wall 😄

errant knoll

Perhaps even make the inner wall slightly thicker

After all the stone pillar mining I have 7 iron chest worth of stone

steel mica

Straight I mined 17 stone pillars to get 7 iron chest worth of stone

agile temple
#

'Ah this recipe takes 1 sulfur, 1 flametal and 1 prostitute powder'

Also for some reason I read flametal ore as flamental ore like it was some sort of adjective

Woo 18 comfort

errant knoll

Thankfully it's not really "hauling" it anymore since the stone portal exists

Also while having that higher comfort is nice I'm also kinda tempted to deliberately move stuff so that I only get 14 comfort

instead of the 17 I currently get.

# steel mica hauling anything heavy with the cart is a nightmare

Iron Gate: "here is a resource to help you move metals about the place"

Also Iron Gate: Every biome apart from the plains and Ashlands has plenty of rough terrain or water that makes using a cart annoying, also the Ashlands kinda invalidates the cart totally.

heady parcel
#

Key there is not filling it too much - or to build roads. I built paved roads across my entire starting continent. Took a lot of time and was completely unnecessary, but I love running down my roads with the cart and laugh at plebs getting stuck in the underbrush

errant knoll
#

...Can you tell I dislike the cart?

#

It feels so gosh damn useless since I don't wanna spend time levelling out paths for it.

steel mica

only good thing about the cart is cheap storage space

errant knoll

Literally yes lol

steel mica

for 1 bronze you get 2 iron chest worth of space

Heavy or not I always managed to make it work somehow

#

Also because I look like such a monkey trying to run up hills with that thing

heady parcel
#

It builds character... and run skill!

errant knoll
#

I would prefer basically to take resources for a Forge and forge cooler everywhere I go on boat and then build near wherever I am gathering resources.

With those 2 and 2 upgrades you can take through portals, you get a level 4 forge - good enough to build everything in the game.

#

It doesn't even need to be a good building, just a very basic shelter to put the forge underneath, and a few smelters nearby.

steel mica

I'd kinda already noticed this before but taking a closer look is pretty funny, how all the wands/staves are just sticks with a shiny rock tied to the other end

The round rock you're thinking of might be a gemstone - those are the core feature of progressing in the Ashlands

Basically the entire power fantasy depends on you acquiring them, both for melee weapons and staves.

like weapons? Based on the fact you unlocked no recipes, you picked up an Iolite

agile temple
#

staff of fracturing

errant knoll
#

Which tells me you've probably not build anything like swords, axes, only magic weapons

#

Iolite is exclusively used to buff already built Ashlands melee weapons.

The other 2 stones are used for that too, but they also make staves.

I was saying earlier there's one staff which I think incorrectly has bloodstone as a requirement when Iolite really should be what makes it

agile temple

next fortress it is...

#

i'll just arbalest the auto turrets and their spawns and then try to arbalest the warlocks

Then you can make a Ripper (new crossbow), once you do you'll see the core mechanic of the Ashlands in action, since Iolite will unlock a NEW recipe to upgrade it

Generally though I think Iolite is better used on rapid fire weapons, the crossbow is a bit too slow for my liking.

Since you're doing a magic build, Bloodstones are probably your most important gemstone to find. Most of your best upgrades will be gated behind those. Jade to a lesser extent. Iolite is literally the one gem thats not that useful for a magic build lol

My general strat is to self harm with staff of of protection, use blood ripper to get a sneak attack and then hit it with fracturing when it gets close

It's impossible to dudge otherwise and it deals tons dmg

There's another update before Deep North / 1.0 so that suggests a little while yet.

Do you guys generally use 2 stamina and 1 health healths?

errant knoll
#

Every so often I get intrusive thoughts like this.

Another one is "Morgen Freeman". Like... why brain, why?

errant knoll
steel mica
#

I always run 2S and 1H stamina is your goddamn life blood in this game

errant knoll
#

I'm confident in my ability to manage Stamina with just 1 stam food though

#

you get so much of it.

quasi latch
errant knoll
#

Especially vs bosses where I can just focus on what they are doing, 2 health 1 stam is perfect

steel mica
#

Im about to build the biggest compound I have every built in any other game ever

quasi latch
#

Been thinking about SSS, but I get hit too much for that to work currently

errant knoll
#

Also for my "Mystic Knight" build which only really works post Ashlands boss (so kinda pointless for anything other than finishing sidequests at the moment) is 2 feasts + 1 of whatever I want, based on what I'm about to do

steel mica
#

Should I do a screenshot of my day to day progress of building?

errant knoll
#

Ashlands + Mistlands feast together is enough for 71 Eitr, Which is fine

steel mica
errant knoll
#

It's enough to cast everything I care about, like protection, Dundr, or Fracturing. It's a melee build after all.

#

Can flex in Stam, Eitr or Health for the 3rd slot to suit the demands of whatever I'm about to do

shy marlin
#

FFE makes zero sense

errant knoll
#

Other weapons that see use are Blood ripper and Thundering Nidhogg + Shield, though I'm contemplating swapping that out for Thundering Berserkir Axes

steel mica
shy marlin
#

Feast feast eitr

steel mica
#

Ah

quasi latch
#

EEE or gtfo

steel mica
#

2E atleast but 2F is what

errant knoll
#

Again, it's not a pure magic build. It's mystic Knight. I'm using both Eitr and Stamina to attack

shy marlin
#

HP stat is wasted

errant knoll
#

We can agree to disagree

shy marlin
#

It's irrelevant if you're not a pure magic build, staff of protection is more than enough health

errant knoll
#

One of my weapons is the blood ripper

steel mica
#

Its balanced but a hybrid build

errant knoll
#

more hp = more self harm = better sneak attack with crossbow

steel mica
#

if you go melee and magic all together

errant knoll
#

It's a mix of a lot of different things together. It's the highest overall stat spread you can accomplish

#

Think of it like a "quality" build in dark souls

shy marlin
#

Highest overall stats but you're wasting a good portion of them

#

So it really isn't highest overall stats

errant knoll
#

I'm really not. Maybe for you the hp would be wasted because you never make a single mistake, can always perfectly use bubble of protection and never mess up dodge rolling against bosses.

#

Unfortunately, unlike you, I am a mere mortal, and actually that extra hp makes me feel comfortable.

shy marlin
#

This isn't even a skill arguement

#

It's just analysis

#

When you make claims like highest overall stats but then don't dig deeper, it's poor analysis i'm sorry

errant knoll
#

It's higher Effective hp, yes the staff of protection costs more to use - I can also go into fights after using it and waiting for hp to regen.

Costs more = more damage with the blood ripper

#

I enjoy this build a lot, and it works for me.

#

And, I mean it just factually is highest stats.

You might feel that that HP is wasted, but it's still a stat that's actually there, and it's a stat I feel comfortable having there

steel mica
#

Yall are gonna hate me for this but I use lingering stamina when im building Rocky

shy marlin
#

It's like running a full melee build but you're running an eitr food without any staffs

errant knoll
#

Even if I don't make a mistake while I am using it, that extra HP being there is HELPING me by reducing nerves, which makes me perform better.

And what? I still have enough Eitr and Stamina to do whatever I want.

errant knoll
#

And fyi that is also why I said I can flex any of the 3rd food there to suit the needs of what I want to do.

shy marlin
#

Blood weapons ahve very very few small and niche usecases I hardly doubt you're utilizing it to the point where it's better than lightning or root

shy marlin
errant knoll
#

If I wanted to leverage the blood ripper even more for a purpose, I would use HP as my 3rd food

#

If I want to summon a few minions like Skellets, I would need Eitr

#

because 71 isn't enough

#

If I'm not likely to need either of these things, then Stamina

shy marlin
#

Cool, but that doesn't change the fact that FFE really doesn't work all that well

#

There's just better options

errant knoll
#

It;s literally worked perfectly fine for me and I'm comfortable with it

shy marlin
#

Just becomes somethings works doesn't mean there's not something better

#

Like, tower shields "Work" but bucklers are just better

errant knoll
#

Like what? I could run 2 Eitr 1 Stam? or 2 Eitr one feast? It's still a lot less stamina

#

and my build is about fighting with both stamina and eitr

errant knoll
#

I don't dodge or block/parry attacks very well

#

It's not an issue of stamina management or anything, I'm just bad at the execution

shy marlin
#

idk even know how to respond man

#

The parry and dodge windows in Valheim are so graceful

errant knoll
#

Here's how to respond.

"not everyone has my technical skill - and thats ok!"

shy marlin
#

This isn't a technical skill thing

light snow
#

I think the tower shields get you killed even more, now youre too slow to walk out of enemy attacks and get hit when you shouldnt have

errant knoll
#

I'm building to minimise the impact of the fail state.

I do execute things correctly, but i'm not consistent

#

I'm sloppy

shy marlin
#

If you want to minimize fail state, run 2E1S, and learn the three button combo that is "oh my bubble got broken --> oh i run --> oh i jump --> oh i bubble and nothing will hit me (in before but I'm just good at the game arguement)

errant knoll
#

And funnily enough, playing with this combination of stats and items is making me die less. So I'm running with it.

#

and also again - FFE is like, only when I'm using certain weapons. The normal is FFS

light snow
#

Unfortunately tower shields are extremely underpowered and just seem like a newb trap. Root vest and later eitr + staff of protection will be your best way to survive. Even with grandma reflexes its hard to die with these

errant knoll
#

Ah well tbf, Root chest being viable with no meaningful downside and trivialising much of the later biomes is kinda cringe and I just want Iron gate to nerf it already

#

I hate wearing that thing everywhere lol

light snow
#

We can only hope. Staff of prot is worse though

#

Parry infinite dmg with your fists!

shy marlin
#

Rocky !!!!!!!!!!

errant knoll
#

Staff of Prot should work like Power Word Fortitude did in wow

shy marlin
errant knoll
#

or was it shield? Power word Shield

light snow
#

Should reduce eitr regen while up and be able to deactivate with secondary attack. Add some strategy to it. Not hurrr durr 4min of invincibility.

errant knoll
#

names getting mixed up.

Anyway it applied both a buff and a debuff. The buff was the shield. The debuff made players unable to be shielded again till it wore off

#

Make the debuff last 4 minutes in duration

#

So it matches the length of the shield at max rank. Then when the shield is broken, you can't just spam it.

You could use it to self harm still or shield others, but you, yourself, wouldn't benefit

#

THIS is how I would fix it, personally. Keeps its function, but prevents spamming it

#

Actually I'ma post this in suggestions lol, see if anyone agrees

neon swan
#

Am I a scrub for making death penalties very easy and resource rate to 1.5x?

errant knoll
# neon swan Am I a scrub for making death penalties very easy and resource rate to 1.5x?

Nah,

Death penalties only serve to kick a player while they're down, and while some people enjoy it and are fine with the struggle, it's also valid to not enjoy that and want it gone. Also the resource grind can be rather excessive at times, and cutting down arbitrarily more logs to make whatever base it is that you want isn't really promoting more "quality" gameplay.

I play on default settings personally but I totally understand why people would switch some of them

heady parcel
# errant knoll I'm sloppy

This is where I am at, while I regularly do use parry in melee, I fail the timing way too often to run with a buckler - which is also awkward even if you have black belt 7ath dan at parrying but tend to fight many enemies at once. So I go with the regular shield, have done through most of my too many Valheim hours. They have enough block value to actually protect you even when you don't land the parry - while you can still parry. They also don't slow you down as much. Personally I believe the tower shields should get a 50% block value buff or so, considering how restrictive they are with both the no-parry and slow movement.

rose parcel
#

Tower shield suck

#

The only mildly ok one is the serpent shield

heady parcel
#

If that thing would also provide fire resistance it would be awesome. That should also have been another use for the serpent scales - an iron tier medium armour with fire resistance

#

As is, the serpent scale shield is a very nice wall decoration

#

I know, fire res that early is pretty unnecessary since only the cultists have fire attacks before you get to plains. The cultists on the other hand can be pretty rough if you get too many of them in a cave. But you could give a serpent scale set some other set bonus too that is more consistently useful. Since making the asksvin suit in Ashlands I have nearly completely overcome my heavy armour addiction. That set bonus is so sweet...

#

Also, farming enough scales to make and upgrade that suit would be a long-term project requiring some pretty hardcore dedication. It would deserve being overpowered, at least for a while.

dry vortex

i actually made a pretty big mistake with one of the mods i downloaded, it's a world generation overhaul
it's pretty impressive, the bigger interconnected continents put emphasis on travelling over land with carts
the rivers are more coherent and boats have a potential use case in the middle of continents because of them
why was it a mistake?

  1. my world takes several minutes longer to load
  2. the game constantly stutters when i move around because of a CPU and RAM bottleneck, which was made much worse by the mod
    my world is incompatible with any installation that lacks the mod, so i'd have to start over if i get rid of it

Not really, early access means that stuff in the game gets developed, things are changed and added as the devs progress. Which is the case here, all the biomes were planed from the start, they are continuing their development so they are not additional content.

The crash wasn't your fault. Your family misses you.

#

it's so hard to explore in the ashlands, you get spotted by a single enemy then you're in an all-out brawl then boom. it's already night

You can try to move while you fight

i prefer to engage faraway valkyrie's first by hitting them with a solid charred bolt ripper shot which does like 40% of their health in the first hit

then they won't come after you later and won't be a problem when you're in a fight

Maybe when they fix slope fighting it'll be easier to melee attack valkyries

Can't you hit them with a jump attack?

Once you get spinesnap/ashwood bow and/or ripper valkeries get a lot easier

Do jotun puffs and magecaps regrow back where you found them in the wild?

They don't grow back in the same place but they do regrow yes

#

I've ran through the same area several times and found new magecaps where they weren't before

merry pebble
#

They, do, not, regrow... And if they did, it would be at the same spots...

agile temple
#

Well they keep growing in the same biome

merry pebble
#

Yes, ones that you didnt discover before will be there still when you go back, but after the area is generated new ones will not appear...

agile temple
#

they do

merry pebble
#

Ok then, believe it if you want, but dont spread misinformation please...

steel mica
#

After checking the ones I got they dont in fact regrow

agile temple
steel mica
#

The ones near my farm didnt grow back

agile temple

#

Wdym theres no other jotun puffs near the original spot??

#

I checked the surroundings

merry pebble
agile temple
#

WHY would it HAVE to be in the SAME SPOT.

spiral gate
#

Never noticed newly spawned ones in the same or different spots

agile temple
#

they can grow ANYWHERE where it's possible for them to grow

nocturne wolf
#

It wouldn't have to be but all these kinds of objects currently in the game are spawned in set locations

#

Mistlands mushrooms only grow once, you have to farm them for a renewable source

merry pebble
tacit crystal
#

Red mushrooms, thistles and berries etc. are materials that regrow in the same location after some time. Magecaps and Jotun puffs don't and they don't just appear in other locations out of blue.

steel mica
#

I legitimately just confirmed this I just checked my other JPs that are marked X and theres no other ones in the area

agile temple
#

POV: you're Giordano Bruno

nevermind. you guys are the experts 😊

plain wraith

it'd be cool to be able to salvage mats from old gear

tacit crystal

Also, how dismantling an armor would turn the materials back to whole ingots?

Yeah, that’s the only way that makes sense to me, even then still broken like you said

ahhhh mistlands never fails to disappoint

#

go in for some yggdrasil wood, get spotted by a gjall, get hit by its 20m radius explosion attack and die to 15 tick burn

Make ballista!

oh wait yggdrasil wood yeah good luck

Yeah but if you don’t have a gjall trophy then you die

#

Or whatever trophy you need

steel mica

You get like a gjall trophy 100% of the kill

agile temple
#

enemy suspicion in this game is extremely stupid

steel mica
#

actually nvm 30%

agile temple
#

if you're in the general area of an enemy, or you look at them, they will get suspicious and start walking to your EXACT LOCATION

agile temple
#

as in they know your precise coordinates and are pathfinding to you despite you having done nothing to warrant it

#

and even if you made a noise, you could be sneaking away but they will still pathfind to your exact location on the dot

#

they're basically already aggroed on you, they just don't know it yet

undone forum
#

Yep

#

Just charge in and murder them is what I do

vocal rivet
#

Our existance at all in Valheim warrants it. Make no mistake, we are the bad guys.

agile temple
#

ok is it just me or is dead raiser highkey useless

#

100 eitr and 40% health just for a skeleton with a terrible AI

#

I saw this thing lose a fight to a draugr because it would only swing after it was hit away first

Good for distraction, good for farms

agile temple

farms?

steel mica

more specifically the archer skeletons

#

do we have a release month for deep north?

vocal rivet

Nope, or a year.

agile temple

ughhhh almost all my wands require refined eitr to be upgraded

#

what a nightmare, i might have to find another petrified skull

#

FUCK I just crafted another staff of protection instead of upgrading the one I already haveeeee

I'm jumping out my window

Is it possible to solo play Valheim and defeat the bosses too?

vocal rivet
#

Absolutely, it's a solo player game.

wet locust
#

😭

#

How hard is it 👀

agile temple
#

same way it's possible to beat the game blindfolded using a steering wheel and only your sense of smell, hitless and with your bare fists

#

*in theory

wet locust
#

Right..

#

😭I’m cooked

agile temple
#

it's also possible to correctly guess the first 5000 digits of pi

I’m going to solo queue Valheim and only get threw the two first bosses. Then? I’m screwed

light moat
#

Valheim (despite being labeled brutal) is a pretty straightforward game to beat, I don’t think it’s crazy difficult or anything 🤔

agile temple
#

well now i definitely need another petrified skull

#

and 20 more yggdrasil wood...

#

By the 3rd biome, progress is pretty well established so you don't need much handholding.

wet locust
#

Wait, are bosses easier if your solo compared to if you’re in a group? Me and 5 others were fighting the blob thing in the swamp and that boss took FOREVER

light moat
wet locust
#

Forgive me but I forget the name

vocal rivet
#

Bosses, like every other mob, are scaled based on the number of players.

wet locust
#

No way! I didn’t know that!

#

So the game calculates on the number of players in the server at that time?

steel mica
#

The most obvious thing, the literal spawn point guides you

vocal rivet
wet locust
#

Really? So if I was by myself fighting a boss and let’s say 5 of my friends were across the map, it’d be easier for me?

steel mica
#

but what im trying to say here are the item drops from the bosses it guides you aswell

wet locust
#

What’s the distance?

vocal rivet
#

Easier? No, it scales.

wet locust
#

Right, sorry

#

How far do they have to be away?

shy marlin
#

imo some bosses are harder with more players

dark flare
#

The bosses all take a little practice before they become "easier".

Learn to master rolling and you will have a great time @wet locust

wet locust
#

Thank you. I’ve gotten as far as Moder and that’s about it.

dark flare
#

Im not talking to you, Derekm

vocal rivet
#

It's a public server. But WE were talking about mob scaling based on the number of players, not sure how rolling comes into it.

The true difficulty with many players is seeing anything as a mage is throwing fireballs into the mix

"I didn't ask how big the room is, I cast fireball"

Did you know, that literally every single time I have spoken in this discord. You have something directly negative to say?
@vocal rivet .

wet locust
#

Is it stated anywhere the distance a player has to be from another to judge the scale on enemies and bosses?

idk dodge rolling advice is good advice for bosses and it translates to both single and multiplayer so 🤷‍♂️

vocal rivet

It's good advice in general in conversations about combat strategy, absolutely.
