wbu

[worldly violet]

maybe spend a day gathering resources or unclearing bits of your map?

im just waking up, playing a little runescape

[plain wraith]

new or old?

[worldly violet]

i play both, still got my main from 2001. but im on OSRS to game with my Dad ( hes 70 lol ) and get ready for the new skill

[plain wraith]

that's cool that you game with your dad, i'm jealous. is dragonwilds any good?

[worldly violet]

i havent played it, im not happy with Jagexs direction at this time, and i feel that making us pay for that game is insane

after we been fighting them about MTX and Season passes, they just trying to squueze all our money at this point

[plain wraith]

season pass system is one of the worst things in gaming history fr

[worldly violet]

i dont like them either, hopefully that trend will die out soom...but its been going for what feels like over a decade

[quasi latch]

Makes too much money to die out any time soon, unfortunately

[worldly violet]

yeah for the amount of effort they gotta put in forsure, recycled skins, and maps. its us, we just need to stop buying games lol

anywho, today im gonna finish moving my base, i found a nice location im ready to call Home

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977/1385315704936599595

Base is inbetween 3 Biomes. so i should have lots of progression in this area.

[quasi latch]

It'll definitely make Mountains easier

It's also decently close to water in the southwest, so you can ship ore there fairly easily

[worldly violet]

yes, when i get on, ill take a pic of where i started building, im an okay builder in MC, so hopefully once i get more familiar, my creativity will follow.

[plain wraith]

Fader literally just ran away from me???

[quasi latch]

You're just that scary

[plain wraith]

Must be it. Also did they change something recently because I died fighting Fader and his health bar didn't restore to full 🤷‍♂️

[quasi latch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[light moat]

He doesn’t get his HP back by defeating you, he regenerates over time

[errant knoll]

Damn, beat me to it lol

And of course if you fast forward time by sleeping the game tracks that and applies the appropriate health increase

[sour furnace]

Anyone know when the upcoming update will happen and if that means I'll have to generate a new world or explore more to experience it?

[quasi latch]

No new world needed as long as you haven't generated the terrain before the update

[charred rune]

I guess you won't have to, there were no mentions of new content afaik.
Regarding when, no one knows.

That said if you weren't referring to the Deep North update

[quasi latch]

No timetable laid out by Iron Gate.

[charred rune]

@vocal rivet What are you wondering about? Did I say something wrong?

[vocal rivet]

We're definitely getting new content.

[sour furnace]

Thanks for the answers! I was just wondering because my current playthrough I'm about to fight moder and I'm wondering if I should take a break before the plains (because I'd be shocked of the new armor wasn't from the plains

[charred rune]

With the next update before Deep North? I understood the question in that way. Or did I miss something beyond sloped combat and a new armor set?

[sour furnace]

well, id call a new armor set 'content'

[merry pebble]

Well your answer may have sounded a bit that we will get no new content at all 😄 even when thats not what you meant most likely

[charred rune]

No, I'm fully aware that DN will be new content. 😅

[vocal rivet]

Didn't seem like it.

[charred rune]

Sorry, didn't want to be misleading anybody. 🫣

[merry pebble]

No worries 😄

[rocky nebula]

does anyone else think magic should be available a little earlier? like swamp to build your skills

[merry pebble]

Its fine where it is imo 🙂 you will have it for third of the game as a late game "class" basically

[vocal rivet]

I don't think it's needed at all. But where it is is fine.

[worldly violet]

can someone help me under stand the "you are sheltered" vs "you are exposed" like i understand, its when im under a solid roof, but not floorboards? am i missing out on something if i have floorboards in my roof?
https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142/1385336046027280576

this is also just a storage/workbench area

[merry pebble]

It will rain through them 🙂

[tacit crystal]

You need proper roof pieces for the shelter, floor pieces don't work for that.

[worldly violet]

okay, and rain just gets me wet and puts out myfire?

[merry pebble]

And damages anything that can be damaged by rain, including the floor pieces but only up to 50%

[worldly violet]

okay, ill fix my roof when i get back from this trip. ty for the explanation. ( also roofs seem to be my bane in building games )

[novel axle]

Any building tiles that don’t take rain damage count as roof pieces (roof, stone pieces, etc.) and if it does take rain damage, it will not protect you or your fire from the rain.

[merry pebble]

Nobody can be great at everything 😄 you will improve gradually

[worldly violet]

my shacks are atrocious, i got these little pop up rest stops i just pieced together. its quite comical

[wooden tapir]

whenever you feel like tackling it and learning the building mechanics they will be there. its quite fun once you start getting the hang of it. You have to actively build and think in advance tho

[worldly violet]

well, do like to consider myself a decent builder in minecraft. like i have enough imagination and creativity that when i decide to build something it will turn out pretty similar to what i had in mind. now that im in the bronze age, and found a spot i plan to hunker down in. ill start to take some more time. ill show what i have sofar. but mostly im just carting things from spawn to here.

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977/1385341315994222594

2nd death...ffs

[merry pebble]

Many more to come 😄 only 2 deaths so far is quite good

[worldly violet]

yeah, it was my fault, i was pushing my bronze sword to its limit in a raid, nothing to stress over, ez to get to my stuff

[merry pebble]

I have found that the number one cause of death for me...

Is me... xD

[tacit crystal]

Overconfidence.

[merry pebble]

Yep, or not paying attention 😄

[worldly violet]

100% i like to mess around, i mean...i am here to have fun

[valid python]

So we have the all-powerful Frostner... if there were an atgeir/spear made of silver would we call it the...
🙂
🕶️ 👌
😎
Frostfar.

[merry pebble]

Nope, we would call it Himminafl 😏
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Himminafl

[valid python]

Oh snap, that thing does use silver!

[shy marlin]

[nocturne wolf]

There is also a spear made with silver

[dark flare]

I have started to fall in love with raising the earth 6 or 7 units before I built any structure or garden.

Prevents almost all sorts of raids or enemies.

Aside from Lox when they push each other up the rock wall to destroy everything.

[worldly violet]

Who dropped this bronze? where did my adze go?......its all coming back to me now.

[wooden tapir]

if you wait until next biome you unlock some more build pieces

[worldly violet]

im not going to do too much, just my workshop and a place to cook my food. i got a rough shack for my spawn point, thats all i need atm.

[languid ice]

are ppl nice if you just pop into a vc?

[merry pebble]

Very much depends on the people 😄

[vocal rivet]

I'd say usually.

[worldly violet]

so raids can occur once a day? or can you get multiple in a day?

[charred gale]

Probably

[merry pebble]

Once every 46 minutes game checks if all conditions for a raid are met, if they are there is 20% chance of random enabled raid happening 🙂

[charred gale]

I’m extremely polite

[languid ice]

alr

reason was asking im bored and wanted to see the vcs in here but i am scared of ppl sometimes 😭

[errant knoll]

PPL, what a spooky bunch.

[languid ice]

😭

[worldly violet]

im pretty new to this game, but ive been in a lot of servers, this is one of the friendliest communities ive seen so far, they even answer all my noob questions like how do i find wood.

[merry pebble]

For wood you do three backflips, turn around six and a half times and then perform a rain dance ofcourse 😄

[worldly violet]

thats what im saying, id never have figured it out on my own.

[valid python]

Youtubers doing challange runs be like:

[languid ice]

LOL

if i just sit in a vc will someone join or will they only join if yk ya

😭 i feel dumb asking this

[merry pebble]

Quite often people join 😄

[languid ice]

lol better then my guild server

very rarely do ppl get in vc but half of em are ancient its an old guild for an old guild

[charred gale]

Prbably yeah

[languid ice]

lol maybe later trying to teach my lil brother too cook

its a living nightmare he has zero patience

[worldly violet]

good luck, its an amazing life skill for one to have

[languid ice]

lol ik i love cooking

but patience is a virtue he and i both need more of

[worldly violet]

same, im currently binging hells kitchen for the 2nd time

[valid python]

Never have to go out of your way to collect Grausten. All of Ashland's residents are very nice and harvest it for you.

[charred gale]

Wait mb i misread

Ppl join pretty often even if they dont know you

[languid ice]

so true i have the top of my ashvin pin covered in it so they askvins dont stack on top of each other and climb out

just stacks of it on teh edges enough to keep them in

if someone would like to vc let me know im down for the next abt hour hour and a hafl

im almost done wiht my brother so ye

[errant knoll]

So I have found 2 lovely patches of mistland with no mist, and I want perspective which one of the 2 people think would be better to base build.

1. a patch of mistlands with 4 roots and a Dvergr neighbour next door (lots of sap)

2. a patch of mistlands with just 1 root, but also next to an infested mine (can run in to collect royal jelly and farm some seeker meat every now and then).

They're both sizeable enough that I could reasonably build a base with a farm

[tacit crystal]

I would go with option 1.

[errant knoll]

They are both on the same continent for reference, so I could run from one spot to the other if i needed access to the other thing.

[steel mica]

1 really is the best

Because you farm and get sap at the same time

you can always run to the other spot for the infested mine and do some runs

Id deal with the dvergr tbh since they attract attention especially when its a gjall

[errant knoll]

Yeah 4 roots is probably enough sap to basically last me forever if I'm only going back to harvest once a day I think

[steel mica]

4 roots is just like the minimum required to do a full cycle

[errant knoll]

So that is just a very high value spot

[errant knoll]

Funnily enough there was a gjall there before but we took care of it really quickly.

I see no reason not to let them live and help out, at least until they possibly die.

[steel mica]

So far ive been likin the ashlands

My new fear are the morgen, and the fallen valkyrie

the morgen I havent fought myself but encountered it fighting charred enemies

[undone forum]

Once you progress into later Ashlands you can kill morgen in a matter of seconds, my record with 3 people was like 4ish seconds. Valkyries are just hard nothing to do about that. And you will have another fear

Just wait

[chrome badge]

I was going to say-- seconds? but multiple people makes sense 😅

[steel mica]

I just spray and prayed my arbalest and timed my krom special attack and killed the valkyrie

[undone forum]

||Yeah we all had iolite infused weapons too so that helps||

[steel mica]

I enjoy the up in difficulty in both the ashlands and mistlands

[tacit crystal]

If luck favors with ||Iolite weapons||. 🎰

[steel mica]

but some people dont which is understandable

[undone forum]

Yeah, you get kinda complacent with watching terrain before the mistlands. And then once you hit Ashlands everything wants to kill you including the ||trees||…..

[steel mica]

Not too far from that experience

The tree almost fell on top of my noggin but the grausten structure RIGHT next to me stopped it

I think its bc of the fire balls damaging the trees

[undone forum]

Just wait until you get hit and they set you on fire….

[steel mica]

causing them to fall

[steel mica]

Have not experienced this one

[undone forum]

Yeah it’s fun

Fire resists are overrated for the Ashlands

[chrome badge]

I'll never forget my first Ashlands experience, it was actually making me incredibly nervous #screenshots message

[undone forum]

I just made it to the Ashlands in another play through, I think I had about 5 bonemaws attack

[steel mica]

0 attacks on me when I first went in

[undone forum]

One disappeared and another spawns

[undone forum]

Lucky

[steel mica]

I may be the luckiest viking ever to set sail unharassed in the ashlands

Only thing I came across were voltures

The bonemaw I encountered alittle later after I secured and landed on the ashlands

[undone forum]

I got lucky enough to land next to a devrgr (or however you spell that) camp…. They were dead within a few days

[steel mica]

Dvergr

[steel mica]

Yeah the mobs in ashlands hit hard and are quite fast so the Dvergr struggle to keep up

[undone forum]

Have you collected a bonemaw trophy?

[steel mica]

Nope that first one I killed didnt drop it

Or sank and I didnt notice

I got the meat and bones tho

[chrome badge]

I remember being saved by a 1 star Dvergr, and after he was finished his battle, walked into the lava as if his job was now done.

[undone forum]

You’ll know when it drops it. It’s massive. Think serpent trophy but like 4x the size

[steel mica]

Ill see once I encounter another one

[undone forum]

That trophy might be the biggest in the game

[steel mica]

but for now my priority there are the asksvin and the caves which I have zero clue of whats inside

Ive mostly encountered structures after structures of grausten

1star asksvin on my first day

not too shabby

[chrome badge]

1 stars are fairly common

[undone forum]

Asksvin hit like trucks

[errant knoll]

Part of it is that there are no dvergr mages in the ashlands, only rogues. And the 2 really work well as a pair. Without the mages the rogues aren't all that strong.

[chrome badge]

2 stars can be a real pain to find sometimes

[errant knoll]

I mean 2 star asksvins have the starred wolf treatment

[steel mica]

Arent they like the wolf situation?

They spawn at night and despawn when the player is too far

[errant knoll]

They are, they only appear at night. Ashlands night is total pitch black though.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, but I've heard many stories along with my own of people unable to find any

[errant knoll]

My 2 star asksvin found me, not the other way round. That was a very terrifying moment initially.

[chrome badge]

Traversing Ashlands searching for them can be much harder than cruising a mountain

[errant knoll]

Life flashed before my characters eyes very briefly there lol

[steel mica]

Ill update you guys wheb I encounter one but for now the caves are my main priority

[errant knoll]

It was while I was fighting 2 valkyrie at once as well.

So a pretty risky situation all around.

[steel mica]

can the vineberry clusters grow in the meadows?

[errant knoll]

They can grow everywhere except mountains but are currently bugged, the growth timer resets when you close and re open the game. So make sure to harvest everything before you close it.

[steel mica]

wait so they'll go back to vines with no berries?

[errant knoll]

Yeah, it's odd behaviour atm.

The ash vine that already exists in the ashlands is NOT affected by this behaviour though.

You might be better off just placing a portal near one of those ruins that's growing them.

[steel mica]

Doodly noted

[errant knoll]

Ideally place that same portal near a spot with lots of fiddleheads as well

[steel mica]

For now om just marking them on my map

FH and SP

Do the sulfurs on those boulder arches like regrow or something?

[errant knoll]

I don't actually know - I've not needed much sulfur

[scenic igloo]

so... any thoughts about 3-4 star enemies

[tacit crystal]

They don't.

[steel mica]

Sad

[steel mica]

Too strong tbh

[tacit crystal]

That good they're not vanilla option.

[steel mica]

the 2 stars already pack a punch even with max gear

[scenic igloo]

currently we got 3 star enemies and were in the plains

[steel mica]

Modded?

[scenic igloo]

and the bosses are all 2 stars

[tacit crystal]

Yes.

[scenic igloo]

ye

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 would be more appropriate channel for modded discussions tbf.

[scenic igloo]

its a dead channel and i wanna talk about purely stats which technically are still vanilla valheim

[scenic igloo]

really?

[steel mica]

Yes... even with max padded armour a 2*fuling can almost take me out solo, thats how much dmg they can deal

[tacit crystal]

Well, server rules state to keep discussions in proper channels.

[vocal rivet]

What's a dead channel? You certainly don't mean this one, right?

[scenic igloo]

im talking about valheim, and purely a addition of a another star added to enenmies so still preety vanilla

not talkin about modded bosses or weapons

[vocal rivet]

Well, 3 or 4 starred mobs are not vanilla so...

[steel mica]

Still 3* enemies dont exist in vanilla so technically modded

[tacit crystal]

But short answer is that they would be too powerful.

[scenic igloo]

well i dont wanna wait in a dead channel for an hour or two to get a response when its already filled either with talk about mods, help with mods and other things

im here jsut talkin about general vanilla things

[shy marlin]

3 and 4 star enemies are basiclally hard/vh

[scenic igloo]

your gonna tell me no one talked about hypotheticals here?

[steel mica]

Even normal seekers deal a considerable amount of damage just because they have 3 damage types

[scenic igloo]

@steel mica your the goat

you opened my eyes to the truth lmao

me and my buddies are simply dead, cya

[steel mica]

Simply put 3+ enemies would be too strong

It'd be like a mini-mini boss but in normal enemy form

[near widget]

i thought they made the flamental pillars not sink anymore

[tacit crystal]

3 different attacks, 2 of them deal pierce and 1 deals blunt.

[tacit crystal]

No, it was changed from 10% to 1% chance.

[steel mica]

I thought seeker deal all 3 types didnt know that

[near widget]

do they come back after they sink or am i just misremembering stuff

[steel mica]

What about the seeker soldier?

[vocal rivet]

They don't come back, they're like leviathans.

[near widget]

sadge

[tacit crystal]

Purely blunt iirc.

No, 1 attack deals slash, the bite.

[steel mica]

The seeker soldier can do a bite attack

-Bite attack
-Headbutt
-Claw ground pound

[tacit crystal]

Yeah like I added, bite deals slash.

[tacit crystal]

You can find more flametal spires tho, or find the ore from fortresses with some RNG. 🎰

[steel mica]

Like how you negate 2 enemies main dmg whilst its being weak to another the Gjall

[vocal rivet]

They didn't even ask in the mod channel...

[vocal rivet]

Or even fish for magmafish.

[tacit crystal]

Pierce is easily negated with Harnesk. Fire weakness is countered with barley wine.

[steel mica]

Listening is so important in the mistland reducing the chance of getting fireball jumpscared by a Gjall

[tacit crystal]

Right, so we get to the point again where Flametal is technically renevable resource, the best kind of correct.

[steel mica]

By the time I drink my fire res im already on fire because of jumpscare 😭

[shy marlin]

How many things in valheim aren't renewable 🤔

Molten cores, black cores

[near furnace]

bunch of things in ashlands 😦

[tacit crystal]

Ashwood, grausten.

[steel mica]

Yggdrasil

[shy marlin]

ah yea ancient bark

[near widget]

woof

[near furnace]

I would say technically iron is finite if you don't want to go mad killing blobs..

[tacit crystal]

Fishing herrings can grant iron tho.

[steel mica]

Which is better to get iron from is it still the swamps or the mistlands?

[near furnace]

yeah but.. like 2-3?

[shy marlin]

Swamp @steel mica

[steel mica]

My entire iron supply got gobbled up by the fact I maxed out my plains padded armour and crafted the krom

Krom still a badass weapon

[shy marlin]

yea that's why you don't craft heavy armor and just go fenris set 😎

[steel mica]

But I wanna complete my armoury 🥺

[shy marlin]

doing a completionist run?

[steel mica]

So I can put everything in armour stands

[steel mica]

Yes

[tacit crystal]

Just craft quality 1 stuff.

[shy marlin]

have fun with the fishing hat

[steel mica]

I got very lucky wtih this one tbh

Theres a tetra fish cave on my starter island

Only fish that I believe I need are
troll
herring
cod
grouper
tetrafish
tuna

[scenic igloo]

is it just me that finds the plain biome the easiest?

its mostly split into a 50/50

[steel mica]

With overpreparation yes

[scenic igloo]

1 half is farming, the other golbin slaying

[steel mica]

If your going in willy nilly your pretty much gonna die to the fulings

[scenic igloo]

i mean ye obv but still

[tacit crystal]

It also depends how fast you find the boss location.

[scenic igloo]

biome is great, not like the swamp or mountains, mobs preety basic and simple

[tacit crystal]

But it's the most straightforward biome.

[scenic igloo]

ye

[steel mica]

Huntsman bow is just flat out better all the way to the mistland until you get the arbalest or spinesnap bow

Has similar dmg with the draugr bow while having a smaller radius of attracting enemies

[scenic igloo]

i need to make it tbf

[steel mica]

and less stamina drain

[scenic igloo]

its amazing for 1v1's

[tacit crystal]

I also prefer Huntsman.

[shy marlin]

why not both

[scenic igloo]

mistlands are gonna be a nightmare, its legit survival

[steel mica]

Do the mobs in the ashlands have any weakness?

Frost, Lightning all that stuff

Blunt maybe because they're skeletons?

[shy marlin]

Overall spirit is a good option

[steel mica]

Would frostner be good or not worth it due to low dmg

[shy marlin]

Frostner good

[near furnace]

I would say mistwalker is pretty good 🤔

[steel mica]

Only thing I dont have is a damn... SHIELD

I need that carapace buckler

[tacit crystal]

Mistwalker and Frostner does the same job, except Frostner is more defensive with the added knockback which is useful against multiple warriors charging at you at the same time.

[near furnace]

mistwalker is faster than frostner. but both works fine

[tacit crystal]

And Mistwalker having no MTP.

[shy marlin]

yea that's pretty relevant tbh

hit a lotta rocks or w/e that would hurt ur dmg output

[tacit crystal]

But they share attack animation.

[scenic igloo]

realising what the buckler actually does comapred to a shield changed my life

[steel mica]

Tower shields can still be used if you struggling parrying until ashlands

[scenic igloo]

opposite

[tacit crystal]

Or if you mean faster = killing with less hits due to higher damage.

[scenic igloo]

ive been holding back because im a big parry person, and after realising its the buckler i need to use if im gonna parry it made things easier

[near furnace]

scales should know the truth. but afaik. the animation speed of maces vs swords are diffrent

[shy marlin]

very slightly yea Blobicycake knows the numbers behind em

[tacit crystal]

Oh, I've seen no difference tbh.

[shy marlin]

Effectively they're the same but there is a small variation between the two

[tacit crystal]

I know secondary attacks have more noticeable difference in windup.

[shy marlin]

ye, talkin main auto attack chain

[near furnace]

^ mhm

[tacit crystal]

Yeah figured, which I haven't personally noticed.

[near furnace]

try it. should be a diffrence between axes, swords and maxes

[tacit crystal]

Just mentioned I've noticed the difference with secondaries.

[near furnace]

also the range are diffrent

[tacit crystal]

I know 1h axes are slower.

[errant knoll]

Very simple, flat terrain, easy to build in - said earlier that to me meadows feels very much like a second meadows biome

[shy marlin]

Wise words

[plain wraith]

oh crap sorry

[errant knoll]

I know how you feel. Would you like an egg in this trying time?

[steel mica]

Very inspiring words

[plain wraith]

i just got a new keyboard and i was just pushing the keys. I didn't know i had discord selected

[steel mica]

[plain wraith]

thank you for coming to my seminar

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/mashing-kid-mashing-wild-gif-16909532

this be you? @plain wraith ?

[quasi latch]

This is where you just say "cat" and leave it at that. Nobody will second guess you.

[plain wraith]

tbh....... yes

[errant knoll]

In my case, Rabbit. THey have no respect for my property.

[quasi latch]

This is what I do whenever my sister comes over with one of our old stuffed animals and keysmashes me

[steel mica]

The Queen theme slaps

Its a mix of intensity and metal

[tacit crystal]

Top 3 for me are (in no order) Fader, Queen and Yagluth.

[shy marlin]

yooo moder ost is a banger

[plain wraith]

the music in this game slaps in general

[hearty light]

it feels so crazy that this came out 4 years ago

[errant knoll]

Wait wait wait, using the butcher knife on tamed animals increases your knives skill?

WHAT!? Oh no...

Feels bad I have to slash my Asksvins with the butchers knife 5 freaking times

Please just let me get it over with 😦

[near widget]

Can't make a stone portal because i didnt bring the iron for a stonecutter table
remember the shield generator i have is made of iron
problem solved instantly :D

[steel mica]

I now shall continue the adventures of black's first time experience in the ashlands and has zero clue what he is doing

[shy marlin]

gl gamer

[steel mica]

That is one massive bonemaw trophy

Oh my

I got an issue, the 1* asksvin im trying to tame is a nighttime spawned asksvin so its trying to flee

@shy marlin I got an issue here

The asksvin I got is not eating

[shy marlin]

4k hours i've tamed things once i'm not the guy for this lol

[steel mica]

Oof

[undone forum]

Yep

[steel mica]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

A 1*MORGEN IN THE PUTRID HOLE

OK I GOT ALL THE MOLTEN CORES LMAO

[undone forum]

I found a 1* in a hole, wanna know what I got out of it?

[steel mica]

no spoilers ples

[undone forum]

Absolutely nothing, no treasure on the ground, no chests and no cores…. Just bones and ||rotten meat||

-# The spoiler isn’t that significant

I was pissed

[steel mica]

These stone portals are MASSIVE

[undone forum]

Yeah, but absolutely worth it

[analog pine]

I wonder if the Deep North will introduce a more usable Blood Magic summoning items? Dead Raiser falls off quickly in the Ashlands, and the Trollstav is entirely too chaotic for consistent usage. All should enjoy the glory of necromancy!

[worldly violet]

Trying to politely usher out my guest so I can get back to gaming 😅

[steel mica]

These asksvin are so prone to friendly firing each other

[rocky nebula]

why is my hen not laying egg i gave it barley its no longer hungry

[steel mica]

How many hens are there?

[rocky nebula]

1

[steel mica]

The hen requires a partner

It cant just lay eggs out of nowhere

[rocky nebula]

damn

[rain flare]

If your dead raiser is not useful, you aren’t skilled enough in it’s use

My skellies can 2 tap charred - not to mention that you should bubble them so they last longer

As a mage or even a spell sword, having something to draw aggro is amazing

[analog pine]

I'm 100 in Blood Magic and have used it extensively. It's not about drawing aggro. When I'm doing pure magic, I need them to supplement my damage and not get 1-2 shot by a standard charred warrior. And yes, I use shields for them. They don't last long against the armies.

[steel mica]

@rain flare I need some help

[rain flare]

Sure what’s up?

[steel mica]

Check help

channel

[rain flare]

They aren’t supposed to last long - and you shouldn’t be trying to tackle entire armies on your own 😅
That is a sure fire way to get killed in the Ashlands

In those scenarios you should chuck a troll at the things fighting you and beat a hasty retreat

[analog pine]

Just saying, only having weak skeletts and strong chaotic trolls leaves nothing in between.

[rain flare]

It’s very true - a middle road summon would be helpful

I’m voting for an asksvin Skellie horse 🤩

[analog pine]

I'm kind of surprised that a sort of Draugr summoning item was never introduced. A bit more blood & eitr for something a little more sturdy.

[steel mica]

O these flametal weapons are quite enticing to craft

Especially that 2-h Slayer greatsword

[solid portal]

@steel mica Axes are the best😎

[steel mica]

For you im a greatsword fan

Do the ||morgens|| respawn in their ||putrid holes?||

[rain flare]

Nope

[rain flare]

Have you raided a fortress yet? 👀
It’s important

There’s special goodies in there to enhance your flametal weapons significantly

Just don’t upgrade your flametal gear before you raid a fortress OK?

Using the enhancement items reset’s the gear level of your weapons - so only upgrade them once you’ve raided a fort

[worldly violet]

so the area i took had a very small portion of the black forest near it. 😛 im back to doing fairly long excursions for copper. but i find as im getting better with the building, putting up a lean to don't give me the issues it did at first.

[steel mica]

I have not gone off too far from my locale mostly using my time to breed ||asksvin||

I just need 3 more of the ||morgen sinew||

As of rn the 1*||asksvins|| will do just fine

[pallid venture]

@hardy wave

[analog pine]

Ah, abandoned mistlands digsite with seekers. I'll just kill them qui-
Game: Surprise 1 star seeker
Oh, guess I'll be a bit more caref-
Game: Surprise 2 star seeker
Really?! XD

[rain flare]

LoL 😆

Have any of you tried to climb Yggdrasil recently?
I met a foe far worse than seekers up there

They were @valid python’s kin, the squeakers! 😂

[analog pine]

Now I'm stuck getting TWO graves because the seeker that was left refused to get off my ass.

[rain flare]

Ai ai ai 😂

[analog pine]

This is unfortunately on top of the first infested mine only giving me 4 cores.

[merry pebble]

4 is quite a lot for one mine actually 😄

[analog pine]

And yet...it's not 5.

[merry pebble]

Yep, you have to usualy visit multiple mines to get enough for a station 🙂

[worldly violet]

is there ways to increase the carry capacity on my character?

[merry pebble]

Yep, if you explore second biome enough you will find a way for it 🙂 (you might want to explore a bit further from spawn 😉 )

[worldly violet]

Ive been exploring.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202267437647527977/1385517475722166393/MedalTVValheim20250620001124.png?ex=68565b33&is=685509b3&hm=1a5487859835ca73249e7798d6682f485e66a5df7d546416e551372594e276a6&

weird, idk why that wasn't the discord link

[merry pebble]

Even further from spawn 😄

[worldly violet]

oh yeah ill get there, im just currently trying to build all workstations, i assume once i make this mead station, i can enter the mountain for more progression.

[merry pebble]

Mountains are the 4th biome you should go to 😉

I assume you didnt kill Black Forest boss yet?

[worldly violet]

i only killed Eikthyr, but i do have some waypoints for a boss named The Elder.

[merry pebble]

Yep, thats the one 😄 his drop will give you a hint where to go next

[worldly violet]

yeah, ill make my way down to him soon. im not in any rush to reach endgame, im just chillin

[tight minnow]

Guys, Anyone knows why doesn’t haldor sell ymir flesh even when I defeated all the bosses up to bonemass on a server with my friends?

[merry pebble]

Thats the best way to play imo 🙂

[worldly violet]

before i zone back in, the block skill, does it only go up with parrys?

[merry pebble]

Nope, also with normal blocking, but parries give bit more xp per block (faster is static blocking actually if you have enough mobs and good shield)

[worldly violet]

cheers, ty.

[plain wraith]

gm all

[unkempt rampart]

What weapon is your favorite?

[rain flare]

We talking biome specific or just general weapon types?

Cause uhm….
I can’t pick one weapon specifically with everything mixed together 😅

[plain wraith]

ripper and it's variants. or mistwalker

[tacit crystal]

I can easily pick 2 favorites: and Primal axes.

[rain flare]

Meadows - flint knife
Black Forest - bronze spear
Swamp - ancient bark spear
Mountains - crystal battle axe
Plains - porcupine
Mistlands - krom/mistwalker (I’m cheating, I can’t pick between these two 😅)
Ashlands - completely hopeless cause I like lightning zerker axes and blood great sword

[unkempt rampart]

Ripper?

[rain flare]

Crossbow from Ashlands

But let me be honest, I am a sucker for magic, so I’d play as a mage anyway 😂

So my favourites would be staff of embers and wild stave

[keen trench]

Arbalest, Himminafl (not been in Ashlands yet)

[rain flare]

Doing a slow play? 👀

[keen trench]

very slow, i usually kept myself 2 biomes back of the latest update (killed Moder on Mistlands update, Yag shortly after Ashlands came out), but i didn't resist this time and killed also the Queen, but didn't traverse boiling seas yet

did lots of building, different playthrus with different weapon/combat style focus etc., not a 8000 hours vet but, i'm about to hit 1500

[light snow]

Porcupine enjoyer 🤝

Always loved that wep and altho i admit frostner is better its so satisfying swinging that thing around

Krom probably my favourite wep in the game, so much that ill run to the mists with silver weps and make it before killing moder

[rain flare]

Indeed 🥰
I love the aesthetic of those weapons

[tacit crystal]

Porcy is surely underrated weapon.

Krom.

[rain flare]

Hehe 😆

What I want is to make a legit IRL version is the Bloodstone greatsword

That sword is a BEAST 🔥

[merry pebble]

That would be unwieldable xD

[vocal rivet]

I'd like some Valheim miniatures.

[merry pebble]

Me too! One of the reasons I cant wait for the board game 😄

[rain flare]

Gives sword to body builder

😂

[merry pebble]

And he still cant lift it xD

[rain flare]

Looks at Demolisher 😅

[merry pebble]

Oh for sure, that is a nice cinder block on a stick 😄 let me swing it around xD

Either you need flametal or build up 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Don't give it to a body builder, their muscles are for show.
Rather give it to a strongman. 💪

[merry pebble]

Just make an outpost in ashlands 🤔

Or, if you explored enough putrid holes easier way to transport stuff will unlock

Might be worth a try to find another core, you need only 2 🙂

Yep 🙂

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, you only need a stone portal on one end.

[tacit crystal]

Maybe Anatoli can, he is constantly mopping with his 30kg mop.

[merry pebble]

Heh, true, at some point he will start using Demolisher wrapped in a rag to mop XD

[plain wraith]

this last 20 percetn of fader's health is hard to get down ugh just died

i'm tired, boss

[rain flare]

He do be hitting hard

[plain wraith]

yeah and the non-summoned ads i keep agroing are so annoying

i need a drink. but it's 7am

odin give me strength

[tacit crystal]

Just let Fader finish 'em. The fissure fire cleanses all.

[plain wraith]

yeah usually, sometimes they eff me up though because i'm not paying attention. honestly it's a skill issue

[tacit crystal]

It quickly kills even Morgen and Valkyries too.

Used that to my advantage during my bow only challenge when they joined to the fight lol.

Even some Asksvins too.

[plain wraith]

this boss fight feels more tedious than fun to me tbh

bah i'm just in a bad mood i think lol

[tacit crystal]

Understandable. Personally I like the fight.

[plain wraith]

i'm trying to power through so i can start a new game. I just love the early game in the meadows

[tacit crystal]

New playthroughs are fun, especially when you decide to try something different.

[tepid prawn]

its okay, its 10pm here!

always mead'o'clock somewhere!

[tacit crystal]

Midsummer Eve going on here. 🌞

[steel mica]

I have now located my first ||fortress||

[shy marlin]

[tacit crystal]

Soon.

[plain wraith]

Yes i killed fader for the first time!

[nocturne wolf]

Some of Fader’s attacks get a shorter cooldown as his health decreases

[rain flare]

Wooooo!
Well done! 🤩

[steel mica]

Quite the annoying morgen I should say

[plain wraith]

feels good to be done ashlands lol

[steel mica]

[plain wraith]

staff of the wild was clutch against him

[rain flare]

Told ya 🤩🥳

[plain wraith]

i couldn't remember who gave me that tip hah, thanks!

[steel mica]

These asksvin do not wanna cooperate with me

[plain wraith]

it's hilarious going from fighting the last boss to immediately starting a new game and dying to a boar

[plain wraith]

they can be very annoying

[errant knoll]

There's always the side quest, unless you've done it already.

[plain wraith]

there's a side quest?

[errant knoll]

Yep! The ashlands has a side quest!

To get it started, seek out more Putrid holes and look for Vegvisirs.

[rotund bay]

I saw those massive indestructible trees from the swamp in the middle of the ocean
just 1

would it work as an outpost I wonder?

[plain wraith]

good to know

[hearty light]

what bronze weapon should i get i cant choose

[rain flare]

They are called ash swine for a reason 😂

[rain flare]

Spear is good
Atgir is good
Axe is also good

I’d suggest using the axe purely to prevent having to waste copper and tin on making a weapon and a tool

I like the spear purely cause they work well
Atgir’s are also good

[hearty light]

yeah ive been using the normal spear for ages

i was thinking either mace or sword

[undone forum]

Swords are a decent all rounder
Axes are also a decent all rounder, double as a tool though
Copper knife is ok, has good attack speed and stamina usage
Spears are kinda meh but some people like them
Atgir is crazy good
Mace is nice in the biome after black forest

[steel mica]

Sildar

[rain flare]

Spears are epic cause you can skewer enemies as they attack you
It’s a high skill high reward weapon if you learn to use it properly

[steel mica]

do you have a moment to help us

having issues taming asksvins

[tacit crystal]

You can post pics in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512 to specify the problem.

[steel mica]

Ill send

[steel mica]

@languid ice Alright again ty for the eggs im gonna start breeding them now

[languid ice]

oki

yw have a good one

[steel mica]

@languid ice You dropped your asksvin chestplate

[languid ice]

oh idc

i have 2 just keep it

[steel mica]

ah ok

[languid ice]

BRUH my asksvins

i dont want eggs they give me tons i want eggs they give me none

i have 8 eggs rn T_T

[worldly violet]

morning yall

[undone forum]

Wait for them to hatch, get babies, let babies grow, kill babies for tail

[languid ice]

lol ik

i been doing that for awhile

[worldly violet]

do ground items like flint, stone and branches also respawn after time?

[plain wraith]

i know flint does

not sure about the others

[worldly violet]

awesome, i guess thats the only one that i care about, but i figured id loop them in

[merry pebble]

Flint yes, stone no, branch yes 🙂

[worldly violet]

cheers. ty.

i dont understand this raft

guess im swimming home

[charred gale]

You need to go with the wind

• the raft is quite bad even if its a full tailwind

[merry pebble]

A and D for left and right and press W few times for speed, S for lowering the speed and look out for wind direction 🙂

[worldly violet]

yeah i get that part. but how do i control my sail? it has the ropes to turn/raise lower it. but all i can do is hold it and turn the rudder

[nocturne wolf]

The sail turns automatically

It raises and lowers when you change your speed with the rudder, that’s the only part you need to interact with

[worldly violet]

im so cooked. i was looking for obscure hitboxes on this pile of logs....

i guess we just wait for a good headwind now

https://tenor.com/view/toon-link-wind-waker-gif-21771259

i need some wind power...Rip Gif

[lyric grove]

i cant find Bogwitch. i need help ...

[scenic igloo]

does the food stuff need a roof?

like the cauldron and other stuff

[merry pebble]

She can spawn anywhere in swamp between 3000 and 8000 meters from the world center. 🙂

[steel mica]

First of all how in the he-

Always have backup gear and supplies

Get ready before going back

Are you like rushing in?

[nocturne wolf]

All crafting stations need a roof

[steel mica]

Ah you're dealing with a valkyrie

After landing in the ashlands, your priority is securing that portal ASAP

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword will do more damage than mistwalker against charred while also costing less stamina, perfect for taking them out quickly

[steel mica]

Why not make a portal in the coast?

Not much really just use the best material stone or black marble

[scenic igloo]

whats the easiest attack from the berserker is to parry

[steel mica]

all of them

[nocturne wolf]

Both attacks have the same damage

[scenic igloo]

doesnt he have 3 attacks tho?

[nocturne wolf]

Mistwalker is good for every other enemies in ashlands

[scenic igloo]

left, right swing and a 3 combo swing

[nocturne wolf]

The horizontal hit has two animations but is technically the same attack so it has the same hitbox, knockback and all other stats

[plain wraith]

I basically just used mistwalker in Ashlands. + parrying everything

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying everything won’t always go well against starred enemies, especially if not using a HHS diet or with low block skill

[scenic igloo]

hhs?

[merry pebble]

Health health stamina

[nocturne wolf]

Two health food, one stamina food

[plain wraith]

true

[steel mica]

health food stamina food

[plain wraith]

never ran into a starred morgen thankfully

[tacit crystal]

...Yet.

[plain wraith]

Morgen's actually made me lol the first time i saw them

[nocturne wolf]

They’re not too bad, just be very careful not to get stuck on their legs

I hate morgen’s collision so much why isn’t it smooth like every other creature

Seeker soldiers have it too

[plain wraith]

they're so easy to parry though

[nocturne wolf]

With stars you might only be able to parry the rolls

[plain wraith]

oof that does make it tougher

[tacit crystal]

1 star can be parried with buckler.

[nocturne wolf]

Their swipes are easy to jump over and have 0% turnspeed so it leaves their sides open for an attack

[steel mica]

with a 2quality level seeker buckler you can only parry the rolls against a ||1*morgen||

[plain wraith]

i'm kinda new to discord, how do you do the spoiler thing?

[nocturne wolf]

Your health and block skill matters too not just the buckler

[tacit crystal]

|| on both sides.

[merry pebble]

Mark the text and click the eye 🙂 or what Joelkkii said

[steel mica]

FINALLY THEY'RE BREEDING

Ok doodly noted dont make deep pits for taming ||asksvins||

[plain wraith]

why not?

[steel mica]

The ai pathing having trouble

[tacit crystal]

Digging a hole and covering it with grausten floor pieces has worked for me many times.

[steel mica]

ill try this one aswell just incase

[stuck stirrup]

Yo Guys/Girls what do I need to get the black forge to 7

I mean 6

[quasi latch]

There's no 5th upgrade. The game is unfinished.

[scenic igloo]

does 3x recources not work for ores?

[stuck stirrup]

oh

[merry pebble]

Whichever you find the coolest 🙂

[steel mica]

Yep the ||asksvins|| are now breeding

4 eggs

[blazing cobalt]

I really like the look of the|berserker axes|

[merry pebble]

Bow or crossbow 😄

[wintry valve]

if you have a problem in valheim, the solution is bow

[merry pebble]

You need to double the lines 😉

[steel mica]

100%, they're fast, strong, can defend, and are good escapes

[tacit crystal]

Crossbow + spear.

[blazing cobalt]

Oops

[near widget]

its fine theres plenty of fish in the sea gang

[quasi latch]

No, the other kind of hoe

[tacit crystal]

Luckily cheap to craft, just wood and stone.

[near widget]

i see...well plenty of wood and stone in the meadows gang

[north jewel]

I need to know how y'all get around making those amazing builds. I know the cheats yes but like... How do people even PLAN THEM. I always mess up the foundations, or the roof. I ain't a viking of math (ironically, since I'm a woman lmao)

[quasi latch]

Being a woman just means you have more common sense

[north jewel]

The joke was because math was usually done by women hahaha

I can barely do add ups mentally and I gotta use my fingers lmao

[dim tartan]

Trial and error. Have fun with it. Don't rush and learn something from every build. Experiment with stuff and if you don't like how it looks take it down and try something else

[quasi latch]

YouTube tutorials and #1202313621351440385 will be your best friends

[north jewel]

I end up taking down almost everything lmao. I say to myself THIS ONE. THIS ONE GONNA BE A BIG BUILD. And somehow it always ends up as a tiny house

[dim tartan]

Haha that will happen. You could also plan stuff out using grid paper. Just set a scale like each block on graph paper is 1 meter in game

[near widget]

i steal them from the internet

or from draugers (my first base in this world was a draugr village i took over and cleaned up)

[north jewel]

I do too sometimes lmao I have a whole Pinterest board named "build it" for this. And somehow, never end up making it through.

[quasi latch]

I just build cube ass houses with a generic roof and chimney

[north jewel]

I might lean to the gods of Google sheets.

[north jewel]

I feel ya. The more I try to not make a cube, the more cubic it gets lmfao

[near widget]

gods perfect shape

[dim tartan]

I personally use https://virtual-graph-paper.com/. But google sheets could work as well

[north jewel]

When I play on creative I literally run around fixing villages hahahaha

[north jewel]

Yo this is awesome. Thanks!

[quasi latch]

4x2 grid stone walls my beloved

[dim tartan]

No problem I like to set the fill colour to match the material I want to use in game. Like for wood I'll do brown, stone will be grey etc...

[north jewel]

If I ever make something that doesn't look like a cramped up cottage, I will share on the appropriate channels lmao

Somehow, I made better houses while playing casual and gathering tons of materials than in creative

[near widget]

i hate building but i forced myself to build a castle carrot and stick type

with the carrot being that i only have to do this once and it'll get me through all remaining biomes

[north jewel]

I love building! At least small bases in every island I get to!

It was, however, very tiring while playing normally, getting all the mats to different places and dying so much (since I'm really bad at fighting)

[near widget]

ho boy the amount of stone i had to gather for the plains castle

cause i wasnt saving up since day 1

[north jewel]

Ah, a classic. Throwing stone around cuz it's just taking up space

[scenic igloo]

does dualweilding weapons like a sword and shield stack block armor?

[near widget]

probably not

[north jewel]

I usually play most games alone. If anyone ever needs someone to run around and do nothing while y'all beat the mobs or bosses, I'm the right person for the task.
I will die tho.

[rotund bay]

tiny house with everything in it is what I live for
currently being a gremlin living on a troll cave entrance during iron age

I wish we could be able to "claim" certain dungeons so that we can properly build in it later on

[near widget]

i need a slave to smelt the ore, ill pay you with coins.

There is no minimum wage in Valheim tho

[merry pebble]

Well, you can enable building in dungeons if you want to 🙂

[rotund bay]

that's true, but I don't want to deviate too much from what the game intended

I do have fire hazards on tho lmao

[north jewel]

I wish you could train the skeletons to do that lmao

[near widget]

they tell me they love me that's all i need them to do

[undone forum]

You have no idea……

[north jewel]

How is that a thing, I NEED TO KNOW

[merry pebble]

setkey DungeonBuild 🙂

[north jewel]

Gonna get into that tonight.

[merry pebble]

Kill, kill and kill 😄 and destroy piles of dirt

[steel mica]

Note to self, dont take asksvin while your mining

[undone forum]

Don’t take anything while mining, it’s all over lava any sort of knockback means you are dead

If you have to go onto normal land a ways from the lava

[tacit crystal]

Both ooze and bile bombs are ineffective due to their immunity to poison and very resistance to fire.
Use other AoE options, like Demolisher or Ember staff.

You can return later when you've prepared yourself.

[steel mica]

Learned that the hard way and my 2 asksvins got killed

But I got backup so were fine

Enclosure

[tacit crystal]

You can squeeze it through or make the entrance bigger.

[tribal sandal]

Hello valheim chat, I wanted to ask a big chat room for advice. So as a magic user in valheim... Are we not expected to use magic all the time sense royal jelly is so limited? What happens when you run out of mistlands dungeons for the jelly? Do you just not have magic anymore in that server?

[merry pebble]

Royal jelly respawns in the mines 😉

[tribal sandal]

Omg ty, So its benefitcial to maybe build a fort nearby some old dugeons to recheck them for jelly?!

[merry pebble]

Sure 😄 or to have portals to few of them

[quasi latch]

It respawns at regular intervals. A portal will do.

[tribal sandal]

Ty chat

[quasi latch]

4 hours of IRL time

[steel mica]

You get alot but fighting her is difficult not worth the hassle

I rather set up multiple portals

[quasi latch]

Yes, but fighting a boss as a means of farming food isn't exactly what everybody wants.

Eh true

Agreed. Some sort of log somewhere would be nice

[tacit crystal]

Have you made any flametal weapons yet?

You probably have gotten few new recipes now, for 2 variations of spears and crossbow.

If you craft gem variated weapon the quality won't transfer to it.

Both are very useful, Jade for possible immobility effect to enemies and Iolite to deal lightning damage that possibly chains to other enemies around.

Sometimes the lightning can chain multiple times on larger enemies.

[vocal rivet]

Bloodstone for the win.

[tacit crystal]

I would personally use jade rather for bow than crossbow, tbh. The shooting rate is much slower with crossbows.
But it's all up to you.

Best ones IMO are jade mace and axes tho.

[merry pebble]

Brick on a stick

[tacit crystal]

The best brick one can ask.

[rain flare]

The only possible description of that weapon I can ever accept 😅😂

[tacit crystal]

Well, "kloss" is basically "brick" in Swedish.

[lyric grove]

tysvm Asatru, Puncher of drakes

i hate the drakes, btw

[tacit crystal]

Apparently Asatru too, hence his name.

[undone forum]

Bats are arguably more annoying

[merry pebble]

Nah, they can be annoying but its not like i hate them in particular 😄 the name is pretty much just a bunch of circumstances playing into one another

[tacit crystal]

Yeah I know the story, I was in a bit jestful mood.

[shy marlin]

Asatru hates drakes

[ionic elk]

All my homies hate Drake

Wait what

[tacit crystal]

How about "puncher of Drake".

[charred gale]

[vocal rivet]

The 'rapper'?

[ionic elk]

verily

[charred gale]

Verily i say unto you

[unkempt sonnet]

[dark flare]

He is still the kid in the wheelchair from degrassi to me.

[vocal rivet]

Wait, thats a different Drake.

[shy marlin]

If you have 18.5 hp (actually) does the hp bar you see round it up to 19? 🤔 (Reason why I ask is I'm going back and losing at all my deaths to no food perma runs, and there was a run where I had 20 hp visually, but got hit by something doing 19.1 dmg, and I died)

[vital umbra]

boo

[nocturne wolf]

Could we see in the clips channel?

I’d assume the game brings the number up if it’s a decimal so it never shows 0 health, I’ll check that now

[shy marlin]

It's too big, the time between getting hit going down to 20 hp and then getting hit by 19.1 dmg is like 20 min lol

I've liked scanned footage after footage and the numbers don't add up

Maybe there's a rounding error calculation? idk

[nocturne wolf]

@shy marlin The health bar uses a ceil function which brings a decimal to the integer above it. Anything a tiny bit above 19 will show as 20.

You could've had 19.05 health or something around that

[shy marlin]

Okay

That might make sense, I'll review and rewatch and see if that could be the case

Thanks 🤙

[ebon wadi]

I FINALY GOT VALHEIM

YAY

[worldly violet]

Has anybody ever had some of their items just disappear?

[tacit crystal]

On ground or in gravestone?

[valid python]

Starting to feel like taking the fortress isn't actually a mechanic. Holy smokes.

Even the mage is tanky.

[errant knoll]

It feels kinda daunting the first time you do it but once you know what to do it's really not that hard, and Bonemass + fire resist together just are an "I win" button for the next 5 minutes

[worldly violet]

more like a "i only need 1 more to make what i want" but now that i got it its gone. its nothing crazy just Trophy heads. but i was keeping track cause i really wanted that shield lol

[untold knoll]

depending on when you log out, or if you dc, some items can disappear. I am careful to save when exiting.

[worldly violet]

ahh, okay, least that means its only a 50/50 chance im trippin 😂

[valid python]

Hands down one of the most difficult things I've ever managed to do, but came back with a Ripper, did my best to focus the warlocks, and managed to also set up shop in it. So now I have a nice place a bit further inland. \

And yet it only barely leaned into frustrating. These devs are super good at making things that- if they were a little more hard would be not fun, but the wiggle room is just enough that if you consider all your tools, it feels fair.

IMO its extremely difficult to make a game as challenging as Valheim can be at times also feel fair. Most games can't, at least imo.

[errant knoll]

I've never once felt that Valheim was unfair

I have however felt that at times it is needlessly tedious

[vocal rivet]

Where outside of iron grind is it tedious?

[valid python]

IMO that speaks to very good design.

[errant knoll]

Fighting charred twitcher number 16 million in the Ashlands.

It's fun at first but slowly becomes more and more annoying as time goes on

[valid python]

Also getting the bat raid in ashlands is funny as heck, seeing all the ashlands creatures flailing around to hit things about 1/100'th as strong as them XD and strugling.

[vocal rivet]

Lol, I've not that. Don't tend to build full bases in Ashlands.

[errant knoll]

Yes, I'm aware it was worse pre nerf

I don't build full bases in the Ashlands either.

It's still annoying

[vocal rivet]

Nothing wrong with an opinion.

[errant knoll]

Put it this way, I'm not averse to challenging combat.

Ashlands isn't really that, for the most part. It's just non-stop combat

I'd prefer to have totally mental engagements but more spaced apart

[vocal rivet]

You've almost certainly heard it before but for better or worse that is kinda the point.

Now, we could argue for hours if that was a good design choice.

But they achieved what they set out to do.

[errant knoll]

I get that it's the point, and you're at least conceding kinda within what you're saying there (unlike many) that it being the point doesn't mean it's necessarily good

So it's just a taste thing - I get it. I'm so mixed on it because I love and hate the biome at the same time lol

[vocal rivet]

I know Scales will agree that there are better ways of making something hard than just having more of it.

[errant knoll]

It has the same effect the swamp has on me, where half the time I'm playing it's like "yeah this is great", and the other half it's "urgh, really, STILL!?"

[light snow]

swamp tends to have a lot of stuff the first time you go there then its dead silent once cleared at least in my experience. ashlands will respawn everything the next day

[errant knoll]

Sorta? Ashlands slowly gets more and more quiet as time goes on, you destroy spawners and the locations of where enemies spawn normally kinda becomes familiar

But when you need to explore to find new stuff at the start, it is for sure like that

It's still always more crowded than other biomes

[light snow]

tbh once i get to ashlands i just get the playthrough over with, not a biome i enjoy spending much time in at all. first 6 rock though 🤙

[errant knoll]

I only go to the Ashlands after finishing a playthrough to gather Grausten/Ashwood for base building

[light snow]

land -> morgen cave -> 2 fortresses -> craft -> fader -> done

[errant knoll]

Because who wants to build with Pleb wood?

[errant knoll]

Taking the crafts to other places is always fun though. Going back to the Plains and finding some poor unsuspecting Fuling Village and watch the chain lightning just decimate them lol

[light snow]

yes

[errant knoll]

Cause thats what happened just now, I found a fuling village to kill while looking for Black cores for my new Mistlands base

Which I'm only building for fun at this point

[valid python]

Just 2? Can you get a bell in just 2?

[errant knoll]

I needed 4 to make mine

[valid python]

I'm not good enough to just 'wam/bam thank ya mam' the biome. XD I need its food, I need its weapons I need to be there long term.

[blazing cobalt]

Which gem upgrades should I use for which weapons?

[steel mica]

Should I upgrade my gear to flametal or bumrush the fortresses?

If bumrush how do I make the siege machines?

[errant knoll]

I would suggest that making Flametal gear (don't upgrade it though!) would be a good thing to do first if you want to be safer

[valid python]

It should be noted: Fully upgraded Mistlands tank armor is the same def as level 1 flametal.

For me the Ripper was the tide-changer, but I already had decent crossbow skill to load it faster.

[worldly violet]

Me: Pfft, haven't had a raid in awhile.
Game: Sends raid.
Me: just finished my little domicile.
Game: Sends raid.

[steel mica]

Wdym by dont upgrade?

Why not max them out for more dmg and defense

[errant knoll]

There is a reason

If you're making Armor max that out, but don't max out weapons

[steel mica]

Ill take your words

[vocal rivet]

I don't think it's spoilery to explain why.

[errant knoll]

In that case, without divulging too much information: Weapons made with Flametal are materials for new weapons, but the upgrade level isn't preserved if you use them that way, so you're throwing resources away

[steel mica]

So basically if I max out my slayer greatsword its going downgrade back to quality1 but comes with the "upgrade"

[errant knoll]

Yes, basically every Ashlands tier weapon has 3 variants it can upgrade into

But if you use quality 3 of the vanilla variant as the material you will get quality 1 of an upgraded variant

So Quality 2 and 3 upgrades for that Slayer will be "wasted". If you're extremely worried that you can't do it without being the strongest possible then go for it but I would advise against

[steel mica]

I could always get more flametal if I ever need the upgrade

[maiden granite]

@agile furnace

[errant knoll]

I prefer making the ripper bloodied

Slow fire rate but high base damage makes it a good lynchpin for those situations where hp is low and you need a big burst of ranged damage

Shame, didn't get the right gemstone

tbh bloodstone is also used for the Trollstav which would take the first priority I think

As well as a Black Forge upgrade

[worldly violet]

i found an area id like to use to tame some Boars, now that ive unlocked the crafting stations for the next tier of food. Is there a size limit to the pens to avoid them despawning?

[vocal rivet]

They won't despawn once tamed but there is a limit on breeding which is, IIRC 6 in 10m.

[worldly violet]

cheers

[steel mica]

You can actually pass this limt as long as you have 5 boars

The game doesnt account the new born piggies as part of the limit due to them being a separate entity type

If you have 6 boars they'll stop reproducing

[tired iris]

I just got back into valhiem today after years of not playing is there anyone up to starting a new playthrough I would like to see the new mistland and ashlands biomes

[vocal rivet]

Well, yes, as I said. Again, overcomplicating a simple answer.

[ebon wadi]

What is a good early game weapon

[solid portal]

@ebon wadi like bronze age?

Storm ripper is the best in the game, one surprise hit on the valkyrie and shes 1/2 life

[honest burrow]

Maaaaaan, I finally ran around the island I wanted to move my base to cus it looked pretty and it doesn't actually have proper shore

It's a big lake...

[steel mica]

One thing I hate about the ||morgen|| is that it attracts unwanted attention

Its the the trolls in the blackforest but worst

[plain wraith]

i think they're easier than trolls because you can parry them

iirc you can't parry trolls when you're at black-forest gear level

[steel mica]

You cant parry trolls with low meadows gear but you roll and can stop the greydwarfs from attacking you by placing down campfires effectively stopping the harrasment

whilst a ||fallen valkyrie, morgen, or asksvin|| their enviromental dmg can attract enemies on which you cant do much to stop

[tacit crystal]

Those 3 enemies also deal friendly fire damage to each other, so use that for your advantage.

[steel mica]

They do but most of the time the enemies are closing in on me

raided my first ||fortress|| and now I might turn it as my main ashland base

Because it seems like the ||fortress|| is indestructible

[tacit crystal]

You will be quite safe from mobs that cannot fly.

Until you build a roof then you will be quite safe from flying mobs too.

[rain flare]

Awesome!
Find any good loot? 👀

[steel mica]

3 stacks of flametal, some charred cogs, and a green looking something in the glass

and a vegvisir to the boss location

[rain flare]

Nice!

[steel mica]

I made full flametal armour before I raided it

and a slayer sword

[tacit crystal]

Found gems?

[steel mica]

nope

[tacit crystal]

Bummer, that happens sometimes.

[steel mica]

just those that I mentioned and a vegvisir

The ||charred warlock|| didnt put up much of a fight

There were not that maby enemies aswell

just a couple of ||marksmans|| and ||twitchers||

[honest burrow]

Almost got a heartattack. I was looking at my phone while sailing and crashed into the big floaty thing

[ionic elk]

Earliest game? Torches! Probably a mace afterwards, and after you clear the swamps best to focus bows and swords. Just my 2c

[ionic elk]

Loads of people looking for fresh playthroughs in #1024264966712340510 but I'll tell you now - Mistlands and Ashlands are extremely difficult in different ways, so you'd do well to take your time to get there!

I nearly have all the fragments to summon the queen 🫠 what would a minimum level for my swords/elemental magic skills be before I go in for the throwdown?

[plain wraith]

If you go for the cheese strat it doesn't matter if it's too high or not

[torpid knot]

does anyone know if the deep north will release this year?

[tacit crystal]

No one knows for sure, but most people here suspect not this year.

[ionic elk]

Ick nuu chez pls. I'll probably go for it with lvl 40 or so..if it's a disaster I can dip and do over

[steel mica]

after re-checking I actually got one

||1 jade||

I really enjoy the unique feeling of the ashlands

[steel mica]

Once you establish a base in the ashlands you're good to go

[halcyon star]

hello

[shy marlin]

[rain flare]

Yaaaaaaay!
Dude, that is the best one in my opinion

[steel mica]

Sildar

I got something from this thing called mysterious location

Its called a ||Drynwyn tip fragment||

[rain flare]

Nice! 🤩
There are 3 of those
Once you find all 3 you can craft a unique sword

It’s not any sort of exceptional weapon, but it is a nice toy

[steel mica]

so I need to find two more of these dangerous mysterious locations

[rain flare]

Yup 👍
Fair warning, there is a mini boss at one of those who can one shot you

Even if you use Bonemass that is only going to buy you 1 extra hit

[steel mica]

wait a mini boss?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, make sure your roll game is near perfect in there 😄

[steel mica]

theres a new hildir chest?

[shy marlin]

or just staff of protection 🤙

[merry pebble]

similar to hildir quests, but you get the sword fragment instead of chests

[rain flare]

He looks like this but blue

#screenshots message

[steel mica]

Righty roo

[nocturne wolf]

He behaves exactly the same as a charred warrior so you should already know how to deal with him

[steel mica]

Cant you parry this mini boss?

[shy marlin]

No one tell him

[merry pebble]

Eeeeh...

[wintry valve]

Bonemass makes that miniboss much less of a handful when blocking or parrying. That "one extra hit" goes a long way.

[merry pebble]

Technically, you can i think... But that would require to eat only hp diet iirc which is a really bad idea
+bonemass power + high block skill etc

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass doesn’t affect what you can block

[steel mica]

That moment I broke the iron gates the asksvins started pouring out like zombies LMAO

[merry pebble]

Yeah, true, but at least you dont get staggered that easily yourself 😄

[steel mica]

and making a break for it to escpae

[nocturne wolf]

With the best possible stuff you still need to get lucky with damage variance so parrying just isn’t worth it

[wintry valve]

I found that it did when the enemy would kill me anyway despite my shield.

[nocturne wolf]

It will reduce the damage taken through the blocking but won’t make a block that should fail become successful

[wintry valve]

Its weird tho, I just remember that bonemass made the fight super easy.

[nocturne wolf]

Damage modifiers are applied after all blocking calculations
(Except serpent scale shield)

[steel mica]

I swear these asksvins think they can fit through this small door

THEY'RE BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING INLMAO

[wintry valve]

Add a second door.

[steel mica]

I just did

an airlock

[shy marlin]

🔒 🤙

[wintry valve]

But yeah, its funny because you have a limit on boars and wolves and chicken you can raise. Askvins are like "we must fill everything"

[steel mica]

finally all recontained

[plush umbra]

Looking for vanilla server to join

us or eu doesn't matter

[rain flare]

Check #1024264966712340510

[wintry valve]

In fact, I wonder what is the default ai for tamed askvins. Like... they keep pooling around fences and walls, implying they are trying to go somewhere.

[steel mica]

I think its like chicken AI bc from what ive notice both chickens and asksvin really love corners and walls

[sacred wraith]

looking for server to join anyone?

still looking for mist quenn. no luck here

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 🙂

[steel mica]

LMAO IT 1 TAPPED THE STONE GOLEM

this machine is so good for collecting stone

[blazing cobalt]

Quick question. I am trying out ||dev commands|| but I have a weaker computer. Is there any ||commands|| I should avoid to prevent lag and/or crashes?

[merry pebble]

Just dont use spawn <thing> 500+ 😄

[blazing cobalt]

Also, is there any trick to mining ||flamemetal without it sinking||?

Does logging off and on work like it does for the ||leviathans||

[merry pebble]

It should

[worldly violet]

morning yall

[violet inlet]

Anyone else thing the post recent post on steam was hinting at something coming this summer

[blazing cobalt]

I hope

[worldly violet]

those stone that are shaped like a cone, the ones i dig up for treasure, do you guys leave the hole? or do yall come back and fill them?

[violet inlet]

I like to fill em

[violet inlet]

"There’ll be no warm summer weather in the Deep North though!" pretty on the nose I think 👀

[worldly violet]

yeah, i reckon ill do that also, at least for the ones that are local to my area. is it costly on stone? i dont want to make holes to fill holes

[violet inlet]

not really no, I forget the exact amount but its not a lot.

[worldly violet]

so just basic terraforming should get me plenty?

[violet inlet]

Id say so

[worldly violet]

cool, cause i know one day im gonna trap myself in one running from something

[violet inlet]

yeah, I always patch them I can not stand seeing them thats my main issue lol

I need the ground to look pretty

[cold elm]

Or trap something chasing you... Also cone is an interesting word for "boat". 🙂

[worldly violet]

its the equivalent of a creeper hole for me. and ive been holding off on doing them cause of it.

[upper totem]

hey people its been while any idea why sausage recipe didnt pop out on cauldron ?>

[violet inlet]

exactly lol.

[worldly violet]

i think they would call it a Ship 😛 but idek that i just call it waht it looked like to me

[violet inlet]

may have been moved from the cauldron? I could be wrong though I don't make them often

do you have all the upgrades for it?

[forest swallow]

Its your Cat?

[violet inlet]

No mine is orange that one is a silly one I simply found online

[upper totem]

what level do i need to get sausage ? and yes even before i move it the sausage didnt show

[violet inlet]

lemme check

[merry pebble]

2

[upper totem]

ahhh alright thanks

[violet inlet]

yes

it needs the spice rack

then I think butchers table is lvl 3?

[merry pebble]

Not really, if it was hinting about something in a specific time range there would be some actual hint there 🙂

[upper totem]

anyway what new early food i can get for swamp

[merry pebble]

Yes but they are not there yet 😉

[forest swallow]

I LOVE cats 😍 but i dont have one 🤣🤣

We need cats in the Game

[violet inlet]

lots of talk of "No warm summers" but we shall see regardless I am happy they are taking time on this I am sure its gonna be great.

[merry pebble]

Pretty much nothing, untill you get spice rack you can get only food from black forest basically

[violet inlet]

they are silly, My orange boy is great.

[upper totem]

well thank you

[merry pebble]

Only thing tahts about summer is mentioning the seasonal items. After that just "There’ll be no warm summer weather in the Deep North though!" which, if it would mean anything which it almost certainly doesent, would mean nothing will happen during summer months 🙂

[worldly violet]

Is there any reason to keep my cooked boar meat? idk it was used to make Jerky, so i cooked a load of it way back

[merry pebble]

You can feed it to some animals later 🙂

[violet inlet]

like I said, One can hope and see.

[merry pebble]

And it can be used in certain food once you find one of the 3 traders 🙂

[worldly violet]

okay, cool, ill just toss it in the storage room i guess.

my resources are starting to accumulate, trying to find the best storage solutions. normally i just build a bunch of micro buildings, and sort them like that. and i dont want to get rid of anything. my first gear and tools are still at spawn just in case. and i got my old set here, also just in case. but a lot of items i still got no idea what im doing with them.

[gritty elbow]

Hello everyone

[vocal rivet]

Huh? No.

[violet inlet]

I mean it would make some sense at least from my view point.

[vocal rivet]

How would it make sense? For one, the next update is the combat update which is a ways off yet.

[violet inlet]

I am aware the next one will be the combat update, but deep north could be close then we know. Summer time is a great time for updates/new games, lots of sales lots of people with more free time, not to mention deep north was talked about dec 2024 if we saw it this summer or in dec those at least to me would make sense.

then again though, I am not a dev nor do I know about what they are doing on a deeper level so 🤷

[vocal rivet]

I don't see where sense comes into that. I wouldn't expect Deep North this year.

[violet inlet]

I have hope for this year at least.

if it does not happen, just keep waiting.

[vocal rivet]

I intend to. I'm not the one making weird claims.

[violet inlet]

"weird claims" I am expressing hope around the update, based off what I can see?

like I said if it does not happen, just keep waiting. I am allowed to have some hopes though this year would be hard I can imagine but maybe and what if are always something in the air.

[shy marlin]

Ashlands took 18 months

[violet inlet]

why are people so quick to shut down someone expressing any kind of hope for an update? its so odd to me.

[vocal rivet]

You were suggesting summer a minute ago

[shy marlin]

I'm not shutting down anything, i just stated how long ashlands took

[violet inlet]

I asked peoples thoughts, expressed what I thought could happen not saying it will.

I am not suggesting the devs get it out for the summer I was stating that summer is normally a good time for most games to update, when the devs get something out is up to them and the schedule they have.

[shy marlin]

I agree, summer is a good time for content

[vocal rivet]

Summer, when the devs are all on annual leave, is a terrible time for an update.

[shy marlin]

There's more than just one month in summer 💡

[violet inlet]

then why do a lot of games update, go on sale, show off new content 🤷

summer is a wonderful time for gaming especially on steam!

[vocal rivet]

A lot of games aren't made by Iron Gate.

[violet inlet]

if the devs working on this game go on leave then yeah that would be hard to do, but you sounded like you were making a more generalized statement about gaming/devs as a whole.

[tacit crystal]

I would assume after Summer at earliest for the combat update.

[violet inlet]

One can hope

[vocal rivet]

Why? We're talking about Valheim.

[violet inlet]

I am not one to assume what others mean, If people are direct and express what they mean that is a more solid answer.

most game devs go on leave for summer. Not just the ones making this game.

[steel mica]

The irongate team is also has a small dev team so updates will be slow especially when its big updates like the ashlands or mistlands, and even if they did have a whole entire team working on valheim they want this game to be the vision that they see and produce a quality content for the community

[violet inlet]

that is also true, its what 10 - 15 people?

[vocal rivet]

14 I believe.

[steel mica]

16 google says

let me check the actual website

[violet inlet]

thats a good idea lol.

[violet inlet]

updates will be slow, I am glad they are taking time to do them right making sure its polished before its out. I was just expressing a little hope that MAAYYYYYYBE we see something this summer.

[steel mica]

Valheim as it is rn has so much for you to do already, its just a bit grindy and really time consuming but the experience will never be forgotten

[violet inlet]

Oh no doubt I have beat the game a few times over before ashlands, its amazing in the state it is I agree.

[vocal rivet]

I didn't make it up.

[violet inlet]

"Currently the company consists of sixteen people" is on the official site.

[wintry valve]

its actually a team of four dude and 50 monkeys on typewriters :V, deep north is planned to release five days ago along fifteen extra biomes such as "steppes" and "new york". You know I am right because I am canadian.

[violet inlet]

a fellow canadian

[wintry valve]

careful, im the french version

[violet inlet]

....we can no longer speak

[wintry valve]

such is life

[violet inlet]

Go to tims order?

[wintry valve]

im not much a fan of tim horton

[violet inlet]

a Canadian not a fan of tim horton, I have seen it all now /j

[wintry valve]

Well I dont really drink coffee, and while I used to enjoy donuts, I now find them too sugary for my palate. And besides, the one thats on my commute doesnt have blueberry donuts anymore, and those were the best.

Also having actually worked in one for a few months, it really messed me up.

[violet inlet]

they got rid of SO much good stuff, I hate it. No more melts and just those horrible pizzas.

also I worked there for a time as well, good to know it sucks all across canada

[wintry valve]

yeah they are trying to offer stuff they arent really suited to make

Well in my case, its mostly because the two co owners were abborrent subhumans. I never seen people like those. Absolute gorgons. They also didnt know how to read or write. Its maddening! How did people so incompetent managed to buy two tim hortons is beyond me.

Funny story, these two owners were so notorious in the circle that when they bought the second tim horton, it was a disaster for them: the entire team resigned on the spot, so they had a whole restaurant and literally zero staff to operate it.

anyway, point is
berserkir axes are neat

[violet inlet]

yeah I have tried my hardest to make those pizzas good but I simply can't. They just suck.

That sounds horrible, "abborrent subhumans" is not what you want when working with anyone lol. Its always owners or management at least from what I can tell.

also yes they are
