valheim-chat

[wintry valve]

my other point is
if you have any problem in valheim, the bow is the answer

[violet inlet]

I love the bows so much

[steel mica]

Optional

[violet inlet]

they feel AMAZING though

[steel mica]

THE POWER OF THE SUN

[wintry valve]

shoot the sun with bow

[violet inlet]

hollow knight moment

[wintry valve]

SILKSONG WHEN

[violet inlet]

NEVER WE WILL NEVER SEE IT

[wintry valve]

I KNOW YOU ARE HIDING IT

[violet inlet]

ITS MINE. YOU CANT HAVE IT.

[wintry valve]

what if I ask nicely?

[violet inlet]

they yes, you can.

[wintry valve]

may I have some Silksong, please?

[violet inlet]

Ill think about it

[wintry valve]

this miffs me

[violet inlet]

you have been miffed

[steel mica]

THE ASKSVINS ARE ESCAPING

THERES TOO MANY

[wintry valve]

transmute grapes into zounds of askvins

fill the universe with askvins

All will be askvin

[violet inlet]

I have a askvin named gort, he is so cool.

[steel mica]

THEYRE GETTING OUT LMAO

[violet inlet]

THE ASKVINS WANT TO ROAM

[shy marlin]

WHAT

[wintry valve]

For real tho, theres not a lot of use for askvins. Just kill them and make sure you keep a bunch of eggs in storage, just in case.

[errant knoll]

Piquant Pie and Ashlands Gormet Bowls ❤️

[steel mica]

Good for defending an area aswell

[wintry valve]

even then you can produce askvins waaaaay faster than you consume those things

thats considering the askvins you are likely to fight while exploring too

[violet inlet]

mass production factory's for askvins NOW!!

[errant knoll]

True - that seems to be the general trajectory of progression in this game though

resource gathering for a lot of things is significantly cut down in the later biomes - and especially for food, it's just a natural progression of Mistlands food

You get more seeker meats than you know what to do with and a lot of those recipes are fairly cheap in their own way

[errant knoll]

also doubly true with a 2 star asksvin farm - I think to be honest the drops could be reduces to 1 skin and tail per asksvin and you'd still have slightly too much

[steel mica]

Also siren I just wanna say thanks

Because you hadn't told me there was a machine that can make gathering stones easier

I would have jsut been at my mountain pickaxing away

[wintry valve]

I think the breeding rate should be reduced, really

[errant knoll]

You're probably correct tbh

[steel mica]

Seriously check out the screenshot channel lmao

I had to rise the wall twice

[errant knoll]

The pickaxe is for the PLEB!

Get the tools to automate it before making a big base 🤣

[sudden carbon]

just bought the game anyone willing to teach me the game?

[steel mica]

I ALREADY GOT THE ||BATTERING RAM|| ITS AMAZING

[wintry valve]

sounds about right, In my case I had to raise the heat source because they kept piling on each others and catch on fire

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim has an NPC called Hugin who will give hints and advice about the game, but if you have any more questions while playing you can ask us here

[errant knoll]

After breeding chickens that were smart enough to not run straight into the fire immediately when they hatched, I was disappointed when my Asksvin hatchlings all had a death wish

[steel mica]

My hearth is inside the tiny entrance of the ||fortress||

[wintry valve]

I used a suspended fire thing, I guess thats a mistake

[errant knoll]

Tip for good lighting as well.

Make a Brazier, but don't throw resources into it to make fire.

Put a few items stands inside the Brazier.

Man them with Surtling Trophies.

Voila, permanent light.

[steel mica]

o nice, but can dvergr lanterns prevent enemies from spawning?

[errant knoll]

I'm not sure - but I discovered that Dvergr lanterns, frankly, are crap.

They make barely any light at all, you need LOADS of them to light an area.

[steel mica]

LMAO this greyling just got yeeted into the sea by my asksvin

[errant knoll]

I've got a couple of them in my mountains base to try for my first attempt at permanent lighting - the light radius is really, REALLY small

[steel mica]

Its so hilarious seeing the asksvin trying to hit flying enemies

only to just yeet themselves 10 meters away

[errant knoll]

My Asksvin go absolutely mental when a drake flies near them in my mountains base

There's a wall that prevents the drake attacking them or vice versa though

So they (thankfully) haven't tried to escape lol

[steel mica]

The asksvins are so destructive in a hilarious way

best results are flying enemies, watch them leap themselves trying to kill the flying enemies

[nocturne wolf]

And enemy with an attack that actually moves it upwards would be interesting. It could be possible to stand on them before they do it and jump off for a super high jump

(Deep north development blog spoilers)
||Maybe Elakings could do this with the jump attack shown, but I think it will be like the knife secondary that only moves the visuals upwards, not the collider.||

[upper storm]

asksvin improved, best mod ngl

idc.

[quasi latch]

Vanilla ftw

[steel mica]

Only time will tell, maybe in the future certain enemies can leap up like fenrings or asksvins can leap up towards the player so they cant just camp up at a high structure

[placid dust]

what is this viking urge to find a 2 star askvin

and pet that bad boi

[static harbor]

i just got attacked by a draugr raid but i haven't even reached swamp yet

[merry pebble]

It enables after killing Elder 🙂

[static harbor]

I thought elder only enabled troll raids

oh man...

[merry pebble]

It is part of the conditions to enable those as well 😄

[warm sandal]

any boss enables the raid from the next biome

so much fun when you kill the queen and the ashlandmobs show up at your plains base 😄

[still pebble]

Looking for a couple armor pieces. Is there a server that would have gear needing to level this character baxk to max on gear.

[glacial light]

Yoo chat what do i do with the snow dragon egg

[errant knoll]

One of the worst is if you get a drake raid before you're ready to explore the mountains

[vocal rivet]

You summon the boss.

[glacial light]

Do i need only 1?

[errant knoll]

Those drakes kinda hurt when you have no frost resist lol

[vocal rivet]

You'll need 3.

[glacial light]

They hurt still with it just got jumped by 4 of them 💔

[violet inlet]

drakes are a PAIN

[glacial light]

Ohhh thank you

[wintry valve]

the solution to drakes is bow

[violet inlet]

I am gonna built anti Air

[merry pebble]

Thats why you punch them 😉

[violet inlet]

what do you mean I can't call in a ISR pred and have them shot down with AIM-9's

[glacial light]

I have this mod where monsters get up to 5 stars monsters and as far drake been the most annoying

[vocal rivet]

Well, yes, that's mods for you.

[merry pebble]

Well considering i dont know half of those things... i cant answer 😄

[violet inlet]

that sounds like fun and pain.

[violet inlet]

thats ok, ill just go punch them.

[glacial light]

It's so fun until your base get raided by a 5 star troll

[wintry valve]

punch with bow

[violet inlet]

this is why we build moats

[violet inlet]

ill throw my bow at them

[wintry valve]

dude is gon get raided by serpents

[merry pebble]

Nope, only the normal gates 🙂

[scenic igloo]

any builders in here?

ive realised after 3 hours of building destroying rebuilding redestroying

I CANT BUILD FOR THE LIFE OF ME

[merry pebble]

Quite a few 😄 they hang out in #building-discussion and other building channels

[near furnace]

🤔

[merry pebble]

[shy marlin]

[near furnace]

there was 5 minutes of my life wasted

[analog pine]

I wonder what the most over-the-top method would be to kill all those annoying greylings that think they can take me on? Trollstav meteor?

[near furnace]

bear traps

1000's of them

[merry pebble]

Without commands? Yep, most likely that 😄

[quasi latch]

My apologies, gang. Should've known better than to do that

[analog pine]

Ooh, bear traps sound like fun. I need to make those for hares anyway.

[half fjord]

Probaly cant be forgiven now

[quasi latch]

Atgeir

[near furnace]

I would strongly recommend you go re-read #rules-and-info

greifing, trolling etc is not something we do around this part of the internet

[half fjord]

will do that now and sorry

[wintry valve]

and yet the game is filled with trolls

[merry pebble]

Thats why we do de-trolling 😄

[near furnace]

no trolls allowed on social media

[wintry valve]

The chat is shaking.

[shy marlin]

??

[ebon wadi]

Valkyrie?

[wintry valve]

it would be funny if we could change certain discord strings. Instead of "lots of people are typing" we could have "The chat is shaking."

[pliant hatch]

You'll see by the time you get to the Ashlands.

[ebon wadi]

but im only in meadows

;(

[pliant hatch]

So it'll take a while before you'll find out what it is.
Count your blessings. You can experience each biome for the first time only once.
And a lot of people here have had that moment quite a while ago.

[ebon wadi]

wise words thanks

[foggy pine]

Hey guys, returning player since forever, wondering what the go is with servers, is pvp a thing? Are there newish servers that handle that (somehow without bringing stuff in from other worlds?)

[vocal rivet]

PVP isn't really a thing, but there are some player run servers that use mods to achieve something similar.

[foggy pine]

Thanks 🙂

[near furnace]

valheim isn't a MMORPG either. so you will not randomly run into a PVP player 😄

[foggy pine]

haha its got the vibe to potentially be one

but getting back into it PvE does feel like the way to go, the balance is pretty brutal

I've got myself in AU, and brother in the UK who are looking for a server, preferably fresh because we are starting anew

probably just to build cool stuff independantly and maybe link up with people for trade or bosses

[vocal rivet]

There are plenty of ACTUAL MMORPGs out there that'll do a much better job than a mod in Valheim ever could.

[foggy pine]

Yeah I was just curious since there's been a bunch of content updates and crossplay since last I played. Wondering if there was a shift! Still seems to be the same at its core

[vocal rivet]

The content updates have been adding promised content to the existing game. It's not going to suddenly change genre.

[near furnace]

shift in?

[shy marlin]

[near furnace]

shift in scales? 🤔

bad pun

if a game like Valheim where ported over to a MMORPG. the scale of the project would change 1000 fold

[spice rock]

@umbral anchor is trying a phishing scam BEWARE people

[foggy pine]

The game has player damage and wards. Like there was always an element of potential pvp style stuff.

[solid portal]

@spice rock 🤨

[vocal rivet]

It has friendly fire and wards which do pretty much nothing.

[spice rock]

They randomly added me, account created like a month ago, very very sus

I don't even talk in here since the server hack, but yea VERY sus so just wanted to raise awarness

[shy marlin]

@light snow what's the over under on seeker bug being fixed this year man

🎰

[light snow]

Ah yes that bug where you stagger them and still get jabbed, idk probably never getting fixed at this points it been 28 months

[shy marlin]

🤙

[vocal rivet]

🥱

[shy marlin]

🥱 🤙

Can't have valheim chats in valheim chat without getting 🥱 😢

[light snow]

🥱

[sharp tartan]

MY ROCK JUST DIED 😭

[shy marlin]

ROCKY NOOOO

fell down to my knees in a parking lot hearing this news

[light snow]

💔

[sharp tartan]

I don't know what I did, my friend's rock just across from it is giving a big smile

Oh and there's a KNIFE on my rock

Regicide 😭

[torn fern]

Anyone got a good relaxing Playlist for Spotify to listen to when playing valheim and could you dm me it

[scenic igloo]

whats the basic % of hp incrase per player in a boss fight?

[wispy plinth]

I've been playing the game using knives and have realised that later on there isn't one. Can I keep on my oath of knives or does it fall flat later on in mistlands and ashlands?

[calm marten]

Becomes a lot less effective in mistlands and ashlands imo. Enemies get a lot more HP and damage in these areas, and usually pose a significant threat leading most players to try and deal with them quickly and with brute force.
Your best option for both of these areas is probably magic, but melee can suffice so long as you're good at avoiding damage and have your Bonemass power ready to go at any moment.
TLDR: The game gets a lot harder and a knife will probably struggle to bridge the gap imo

[wispy plinth]

True thanks I have heard people say the 2 handed is good or is it just to far behind for ashlands?

[calm marten]

2H can def be good, but involves more dodging and less parrying obviously. Just comes down to how you wanna play.

[wispy plinth]

Would you say there is any other good weapons at that point to switch to that have the "knife" feel?

[wintry valve]

you can parry with weapons

[wispy plinth]

Wouldn't it be not great due to no block force and stuff right?

[calm marten]

You can parry with weapons, but tends to be riskier and greatly depends on difficulty. Wouldn't recommend it on "Hard" or above.

[wintry valve]

its not a shield but it can parry just well enough

[wispy plinth]

I'm probably on default

How good are axes or swords throughout the game? I heard there's a fast axe in ashlands and swords seem to be a good middle ground. Currently in swamps but experienced up to mistlands before.

[calm marten]

There is a 2h weapon in Ashlands that you might enjoy actually. Besides that tho, you're either gonna go 1H + Shield, 2h, or magic.

[wintry valve]

parrying is mostly based on your health. I mean of course the block power of whatever you are holding matters, but whether or not you can parry anything is, as I hear, dependent on your health

[wispy plinth]

Ok thanks

[wintry valve]

so if you want to parry that one monster to do some sweet damage afterward, you should

[wispy plinth]

Parry based on health I just assumed stam

[calm marten]

It's both. Health in terms of risk assessment, i.e. "can i survive the chip dmg?"

[wintry valve]

Theres a mechanic in the game that determines if you get staggered. That plays out even if you are blocking or parrying, and thats health based.

Lets say that I learned not to block charred warriors

[wispy plinth]

Odd one. I was looking at armour and how it works does it start getting less effective when you go past 40 vs bonemass or did I misunderstand?

[wintry valve]

yesnt

[wispy plinth]

Cool thanks

[wintry valve]

more armor = better, its just that it will never completely absorb a hit

[wispy plinth]

I know it's more of a question of how much I can be bothered to farm but what armour should I aim for Vs bonemass?

[wintry valve]

iron

[gleaming minnow]

Quick question for yall, can pc and xbox play together? Im looking for some new people to play with and want to confirm before I throw a post up?

[calm marten]

Best method to avoid dmg in the game is actually just to move out of the way, but easier said than done lol. Some attacks can become very easy to avoid if you learn when and where the damaging frames happen. Troll is a good example. Just stay between their legs and there isn't much they can actually do to damage you bc their hitbox is in front of them most of the time

[wispy plinth]

Yes may want console player hosting though

[wispy plinth]

I meant as a stat if you know what I should aim for

[wintry valve]

maxed iron armor, why would you aim for a "stat"?

[wispy plinth]

Mainly because i don't know how much iron we'll farm and my troll is decently levelled

[wintry valve]

bosses are really mean when you dont know what to expect. Take the time to farm everything you can farm.

[calm marten]

Root Mask is good for Bonemass as well for the latent poison reduction

[wintry valve]

Once you start having good armor and weapons, it becomes much easier to get more iron.

[wispy plinth]

True I learnt that Vs that ice one whatever his name was

[wintry valve]

mom

[wispy plinth]

Ye

[wintry valve]

its her name, you can trust me im canadian

[calm marten]

Stagbreaker can help a lot to clear sunken crypts, especially when there are spawners. The AOE can dmg enemies through obstacles, making iron gathering pretty painless.

[wintry valve]

The trick with spawners is to not use a spear =_=

[calm marten]

Once you have enough iron and a draugr elite trophy, you could upgrade to iron sledge for even better effectiveness

[wispy plinth]

Is there any point to not just use iron mace vs bonemass?

[wispy plinth]

Forgot about that think I need trader which haven't found though

[calm marten]

Yeah, I think it takes ymir flesh as well for some reason

[wispy plinth]

I'm like 40 in knives but the resistance just makes it kinda pointless right?

[calm marten]

Yeah, he has a ton of HP and everything except blunt barely scratches him

[wintry valve]

ur fine, he's only resistant to slash

[wispy plinth]

Isn't he very to pierce as well?

[wintry valve]

sshh, dont think about that

[wispy plinth]

Is there a way to gain the ability to tp with ores no mods?

[calm marten]

Yes, Ashlands

[wintry valve]

yes but its very late game

[wispy plinth]

Shame

[wintry valve]

I think its better that way

[wispy plinth]

Just gets tedious it's not extra difficulty just more time twiddling thumbs imo

[wintry valve]

yeah but sailing is peaceful

[wispy plinth]

True

[calm marten]

You can change world modifiers to allow metal tp if you want. Think it needs to be done on a fresh world tho

[wintry valve]

and you gotta think about how you want to take on the logistic of carrying the iron to your ship while keeping it secure

[wispy plinth]

What for?

[wintry valve]

its a bit more involved that what you let on

[calm marten]

for portal settings

[wispy plinth]

I just put the stuff in chest and the ship in chest

[wispy plinth]

So it's a thing?

[wintry valve]

I think thats kind of lame we can do that but what can I do about it?

[calm marten]

Yep

[wispy plinth]

That's cool but ye maybe to late

[steel mica]

[wispy plinth]

Obviously with bonemass your like forced into blunt what's its like past the plains boss?

Including plains boss I barely remember that

[steel mica]

Best to experience yourself again

[wispy plinth]

?

[calm marten]

More of the same tbh, pierce is rarely good for bosses but often good for normal mobs etc..

[steel mica]

If you dont remember some of the bosses, now a great time to re-experience them again

[wispy plinth]

True I'm more so asking about resistances and how forced certain weapons are Vs them

[wispy plinth]

Thanks

[quasi latch]

More resistance = longer fight = more fun

[fresh terrace]

i died in plains can someone with good shit help me get my body back

[quasi latch]

If you can't find anyone to help, I'd recommend your old armor + HSS (1 health, 2 stamina) food to make the corpse run

Get in there, pick stuff up, get the fuck out

[mental linden]

whats yalls gpu % when playing valheim

[brazen linden]

Normally around 40%

[mental linden]

mines at 95-100%

its def a bitcoin miner ill just get the 20$

[brazen linden]

Use Afterburner to control your GPU.

[pulsar helm]

Berries + running on your life, instant classic.

[mental linden]

i dont think thats the issue

i have games more demanding and they dont use that much if the gpu + i got the game from a russian website

[mental linden]

turned on vsync and it sits at around 20% usage

@brazen linden u get 40% with vsync on too?

[near widget]

wishlist it and wait for it to go on sale

[mental linden]

wait

is it normal for valheim to use almost 100% of my gpu with vsync off

[near widget]

probably not

[mental linden]

i had vsync off and every graphic setting to the max

[maiden granite]

Or you can use world modifiers "Portal Items"

[serene talon]

plains boss basically forces you into spirit damage if you want him done quickly

[merry pebble]

Not really, its just the first boss for which you have weapons that do spirit dmg + he actually takes it, so many people simply use that to their advantage 🙂 it is a convinient way to kill him but nobody is forcing you into it

[upper totem]

so can someone explain how to find serpent ? i go around ocean still didnt find one

[merry pebble]

They only spawn at night or in storm in the middle of the ocean 🙂

So best chance you have for them is in night storm

[upper totem]

alright

[tacit crystal]

And they will despawn after night is over, so you need to make haste when encountering one.

[maiden granite]

Best suggested to try after getting a long ship, also bring a spear with you, keep paddling or sailing around night times until you find one, when you do find one, keep shooting at it until it's at like one shot away then wait for it to come near your boat and jump from the boat while mid air throw your spear at it using the secondary attack and when you land on water it should be dead and you would end up with all it's loot, works like a charm everytime i do it, basically you don't lose anything being sunk to the abyss, better than harpooning to shore

[ionic elk]

That's actually a solid tip, harpooning and sailing solo is tough D:

[tacit crystal]

Works with bows and crossbows too. Especially frost arrows deal much more damage due to them being weak against frost damage.

[maiden granite]

yeah, anything is good but i find the spear to be handy and easy to do it with

[tacit crystal]

Yeah and spears floating after the throw makes it useful.

[violet inlet]

good morning

[upper totem]

yeah i got the serpent i manage to kill one but my ship destroy and all my material gone lol

not worth it any idea how to comeback to previous save ?

[maiden granite]

if your ships health is low and you got enough invetory to hold it's mats, stand close to the sail rod in the middle, that way if it gets wrecked you have chances to get the mats right as it gets destroyed

[maiden granite]

from the menu, character and world manager

[upper totem]

yeah i should do that but my ass try to get to land

[maiden granite]

if you get the boat mats in your inv then dying is worth it, you can get back to the tomb and get back everything

[scenic igloo]

playing shit that makes this game really really hard makes me appriaciate how easy it normally is ngl

[candid basalt]

Ashlands convinced me Mistlands is a nice biome

[neon quest]

Ive kinda checked out since last year, have any interesting news dropped since?

[restive silo]

TIL I cannot get iron from a Mistlands bridge in nobuildcost mode.

it was an extremely expensive lesson

[merry pebble]

Look in #news 😄

[nocturne sage]

Is it an intended game design to make Yagg impossible to find?? 3rd play through with a friend and we have searched for multiple sessions for a yagg alter or location stone thing showing where he

[tacit crystal]

Bog Witch last October. Very gamechanging stuff.

[neon quest]

oh I mean since the beginning of the year, I played bog witch stuff during christmas break

[merry pebble]

Not really, just the structures that can have its vegvisir are rare and not all of them have it

[tacit crystal]

There is one update before DN coming up, but no info when tho.

[indigo ravine]

Same here its too laggy and dark

Mistlands felt magical and i really enjoy the greatsword even tho the wisp light is so bad

[weary totem]

damn, looking at the BOTM submissions, my cathedral looks rubbish xD

[blazing cobalt]

Back in April they added the pet rock.

So nothing crazy new so far

[tacit crystal]

How could I forget HIM?!

[blazing cobalt]

That reminds me is there a strategy for finding it? I've searched all the time when exploring new areas but none of them have been him?

[tacit crystal]

At least 1000m distance from center, in first 4 biomes and in certain altitude, but the altitude requirement makes them easier to be found in first 2 biomes.

When you hover your cursor on it you will see "Rock" instead of "Stone". And it's noticeably different from regular stones, larger and smoother.

[blazing cobalt]

Is there a command to find him?

[pliant hatch]

In the console, type: find pickable_stone rock

It'll show a map ping, so make sure that one is open before you open the console.

[merry pebble]

However it will only work if you already generated piece of land with the rock in it 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Ah, that's new one for me.

[merry pebble]

I had quite a bit of trouble finding one because of this when they were added 😄

but i dont think its exclusively rocky thing

[tacit crystal]

So basically find command doesn't find, let's say, blueberry bushes for example if none has been generated in world yet? Correct @merry pebble ?

[ionic elk]

May as well use the seed viewer thingy, I had to use it to find Moder

[tacit crystal]

It doesn't show that kind of pickable things like stones, wood and rocks.

[ionic elk]

Oh derp I thought I was replying to the person looking for Yagg

[tacit crystal]

They were looking for Rock to build Rocky the pet rock.

[merry pebble]

I believe so, yes, but it is some time since i tested it, nearly 3 months, and my memory is not great 😄

[ionic elk]

This is important

[shy marlin]

[tacit crystal]

Okay, I'll take your word regardless.

[ionic elk]

There is a Valheim Seed viewer website - I had to use it to find Moder and Yagg

Btw has anyone seen that Valheim Lore so far video on Embr's YT channel? Some super interesting theories about the Deep North boss and things, also very spoilery

[nocturne sage]

Yea I’ve seen the solutions to it all but just feels like a real dumb design

If intended*

[merry pebble]

As i said, not really intended, and devs know about the lack of Yag vegvisirs 🙂

[blazing cobalt]

Thank you so much! I will use it as soon as I can play.

[tacit crystal]

The amount of vegvisirs on surface are similar to each biome. However, since Plains has no dungeons with interior area it lacks them vegvisirs much more than earlier biomes that all have dungeons with possible vegvisir locations.

[ionic elk]

Yea I'd say a few things will get shaped up after the 1.0 release, like fleshing out the Ocean biome and stuff

[sour furnace]

Do lox have uses outside of their drops? Wolves are great to keep your base safer from raids, asksvin let you ride on lava, but what do lox do?

[light moat]

Pretty much just used for their drops, as far as tames go. You can use them to… protect your base… but their often more destructive than anything 😅

[merry pebble]

They can be used to transport materials 🙂

[wintry valve]

loxes are great for bow training

[pulsar mortar]

destroy trees

[soft lion]

Just noticed they increased valheim's price yesterday

40% increase is quite a lot

[tacit crystal]

Still 19,99 euros.

[merry pebble]

still 20 dollars/euros here, regional prices are not set by iron gate tho

[soft lion]

dang. in my currency: it jumped from MYR 39 full price to MYR 66 full price.

[merry pebble]

That is unfortunate 😦

[light moat]

The Build of the Month channel is really cool! Great idea

[valid python]

I stumbled on the arena before I even found a vegvisir, I was on my way to a smoldering tomb.

[sour furnace]

y'all think i can stagger lock a 2-star dvegr mage with a blackmetal atgeir? because if he escapes the stagger i'm 100% sure i'm cooked. it's a support mage. most of his freinds died.

[merry pebble]

You should be able to i think 🤔 as long as it is the only enemy you are facing

[tacit crystal]

Dvergr should be able to stagger easily... But I haven't fought them directly for some time so my memory can be faulty.

[merry pebble]

2 star has 1050hp and stagger limit is 30%, so you need to dish out 315 dmg for him to get staggered which seccondary of lvl4 BM atgeir does easily (it does 738 stagger dmg)

after he gets staggered you should be able to just continue attacking normally and keep him in stagger loop

[sour furnace]

oh yeah, boutta fight yag for my 2nd time ever. wish me luck

[merry pebble]

Good luck! 😄

[sour furnace]

i'm so dumb i tried to take my wolves to the portal room XD

t'was a sucess!

some really funny moments in #screenshots coming up

[placid dust]

Send good luck I need my 2 star askvin

Posted a little video in the memes'n clips channel, It turns out I forgot about uploading my first ever troll kill. Watching this now I'm screaming at my noob self about all the mistakes... But gods it is fun to watch all the same. #memes-and-clips message

[tender quiver]

does epic loot mod synergize with warfare mod and the additional modded weapons?

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll get better answers in #mods-discussion

[tender quiver]

ah mb, assumed more ppl checked this chat and had a quick reply

[tacit crystal]

More people here don't use mods, which is why mod based channels exist.

[static harbor]

there is always stuff to do in valheim
one of the many reasons i love dis game!

[sick shuttle]

this is a general question ive had for a while but is there a reason there arent armor/utility slots and i have to just waste actual inventory space for gear

[light moat]

Design choice from Irongate, basically.

[sick shuttle]

wow

[light moat]

It can be a pretty touchy subject, there’s been a lot of back and forth regarding it over the years. Some love it, some hate it.

[vocal rivet]

Being able to put them in any slot rather than a specific slot makes it more versatile anyway.

[sick shuttle]

itd be better to just have armor slots like terraria so i can actually use my inventory considering theres already a weight limit

[vocal rivet]

You can use your inventory, and more flexibly than if you had dedicated slots.

[sick shuttle]

no? armor slots like terraria are separate ones so that i dont have to have the armor taking up my regular inventory space

[nocturne wolf]

Worn equipment using inventory weight is something the developers want in this game. Why else would heavy armor have significantly higher inventory weight than light armor?

[shy marlin]

They could still have weight values and have dedicated inventory slots

[sick shuttle]

^^

my point about weight thats cool and balanced

its js annoying to lose 5 inventory slots

[vocal rivet]

They definitely could. It's just not something they're interested in. They want us to work on inventory management.

[nocturne wolf]

You aren’t losing slots, I’m sure equipment was taking into consideration when the developers decided how big the inventory should be.

[sick shuttle]

fair but even if thats the case it still feels worse because literally every survival game just has dedicated armor slots but in val it feels like i hve space i could be using for something that i have to instead dedicate to them

[vocal rivet]

If we had 25 standard inventory slots and 5 armour slots I'm sure no-one would bat an eyelid though that would be FEWER slots than we currenty have.

[sick shuttle]

but thats fine i was just wondering how intentional of a design choice it was and the answer sounds like very

[light moat]

For what it’s worth, there are some https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 regarding armor slots, you’re welcome to cast your vote

[nocturne wolf]

Shouldn’t it be six slots or are we not counting ammo?

[vocal rivet]

I wasn't, but you could phrase the same argument with any numbers you want.

[sick shuttle]

this is kinda my point its like. a logical fallacy isnt the word im looking for but its akin to that where it just feels worse to have to look at my inventory and feel like im losing space when most games just put the dedicated armor slots that arent open to other stuff anyway

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, it's usually MORE restrictive yet people somehow people prefer it. It's weird.

[shy marlin]

yea so just get good enough to beat the game naked and you have 4 free slots

[vocal rivet]

That's not remotely what I'm saying.

[shy marlin]

Yea it's what I said

[vocal rivet]

Oh, fair enough.

[light moat]

The Scales method. Useful if you’re looking to pick up some extra grausten and sulfur in the Ashlands 🤌

[shy marlin]

And morgen hearts and asksvin bones etc

[nocturne wolf]

Volture eggs and asksvin bladders

[shy marlin]

The "Prostitute" Powder absolute classic

[light moat]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who read it like that at first

[tepid prawn]

Thats what it will be called forever and ever for me hahahaha.

[tepid prawn]

Scale issue if you can't do it, don't forget the torch!

[quasi latch]

These damn Celts man

[dark flare]

Every game should have an Ironman challenge.

[maiden granite]

How?

[maiden granite]

Loxes can't break trees like birch and Oak, it'll say "Too hard", strangely Troll's can break those same trees.

[light moat]

You can technically use them to ride while encumbered to carry more weight. I personally feel like this is just kinda inefficient compared to other means? Because of this, I feel like lox are just really destructive cattle 🐄

[hot salmon]

guys I am running better continents and when the world gets created I had about 5 places that could not be spawned in the map (Failed to place all Hildir_cave, placed 0 out of 3) do I have to restart until a map can spawn all locations?

[maiden granite]

Is that a mod? if it is, maybe people in this channel https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 might be able to help better.

[hot salmon]

[valid python]

Only 2 fish off from a fishing hat! I am all about globe-trotting side quests that ask me to interact with niche mechanics in exchange for a way to show off.

[merry pebble]

You load your entire inventory with metal or something, hop on lox and Ride whereever you want 🙂

[shy marlin]

Yup and then you ponder life decisions and go and get a stone portal

😏

[tidal basin]

Im looking to play with people. Ive got a character in "Stone Age". Let me know

[rain flare]

Check #1024264966712340510

[merry pebble]

Look in or make post in #1024264966712340510 😄

[tidal basin]

thanks

[near furnace]

very deliberate choice.
I was trying to find the ancient texts about it but couldn't find a definite answer 🤔

I got my suspisions on why it ended up like it did

[craggy mason]

Why are Bukeperries called like that and not Pukeberries

[near furnace]

because the players voted and it became bukeperries 😄

[craggy mason]

Why would they vote for the wrong thing

[vocal rivet]

This is why we never trust the players.

[near furnace]

ask internet people 😄

[craggy mason]

Oh well, it is what it is

[near furnace]

funny tho

Buk is a swedish word

it's basicly the "belly" area of the stomach

this entire area in red. is what in swedish is a "buk" 😛

[vocal rivet]

Well that worked out OK then!

[near furnace]

yup 😄

[strange cradle]

Good morning, folks! 👋

[rancid echo]

Hello! If theoretically there was no block animation and you would raise your shield instantly, could you parry by spamming? Is there any code against it?

Most games with parry mechanics have a spam prevention system

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying only checks if you started blocking within a quarter of a second before the attack. You can spam it as much as you like.

[maiden granite]

good shit, gonna try it.

Finally a way to transport metal to mountain 🙂

[rancid echo]

thank you ✨

[strange cradle]

Quick question to @unborn junco or whoever has the knowledge to answer this:
I would like to build a PC mostly for Valheim (maybe other games), and need some CPU/board/GPU recommendations that just... work. I don't need the latest and greatest, but I would like to run Willibachs HD mod, Seasonality and Riverheim.
Thanks a lot!

Oh, and the board needs to fit into a MicroITX case.

[pliant hatch]

I don't think this is the right channel for that question.

This channel is related about the game itself, not about the machines / OS it runs at.

[strange cradle]

I know. There's not really a good channel to ask this, though... At least I haven't seen one. Will be glad to move the question somewhere else, if shown the appropriate channel.

[pliant hatch]

Actually, there is.

It's called https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470

In which you could've posted that question, with the additional information to contact you by DM.

[strange cradle]

@unborn junco is typing... If I get my info, I'll be outta here quickly. 😉

[tepid prawn]

I love building PC's and I love Valheim, its very helpful to mention a budget

[unborn junco]

In general, you will have less issues with Nvdia card and AMD CPU, and they don't need any tweaking
Dual CCD AMD CPUs (X3D label) are more finicky to setup (stuttering issues), so go for those that have X at the end of their name
Look for a single thread performance on a CPU
DDR5 systems exhibit less stuttering when loading locations while exploring, so I wouldn't go for DDR4 if you are not on a budget
Everything more specific is dependant on room, layout in your case of choice, thermals, budget

[strange cradle]

Thanks! I have some more questions. Can we move this to the general chat?

[honest burrow]

Random idea out of totally not very recent frustration: We should have "thatching boots" an equipment that prevents you from slipping off of 45 degree roofs

[strange cradle]

I hear you. 😉

[violet inlet]

guy has spammed this everywhere some kind of scam code

[light moat]

I messaged modmail 🫡

[shy marlin]

Valheim discord is under attack! Everyone brace yourself!

[wintry valve]

Discord is shaking!

[dreamy kiln]

😎

[shy marlin]

Brings me back to the hack days, what a time

[light moat]

That was such a crazy day lol or rather couple of days. Watched it live.

[deft ember]

Will we possibly get any more traders in the future?

Or is the swamp trader the last one planned?

[shy marlin]

They had an AMA and i'm pretty sure they said they didn't have any new traders in mind idk tho don't quote me

[wintry valve]

"They had an AMA and i'm pretty sure they said they didn't have any new traders in mind idk tho don't quote me" -Scales

[light moat]

“"They had an AMA and i'm pretty sure they said they didn't have any new traders in mind idk tho don't quote me" -Scales”
-VinnyBoy

[ionic elk]

Even more stuff being added to the traders is plenty imo. I feel lucky I hadn't cleared Mistlands before the lightfoot mead became available. That's made things so much easier

Not to mention the feast food items, the plains feast should be mighty helpful for the Queen fight, cos I was gonna nom some Eitr food too

[rain flare]

Honestly?
I wouldn't use feasts against a boss
Sure, they last a lot longer than regular foods
but you lose out on some important extra health/stamina/ and eitr

feasts are better for long term exploration

[wintry valve]

Dont they also give more total stuff?

[ionic elk]

The plains one was very high HP & Stam tho, I know the other ones are very much more geared towards long exploration or just doing base chores, I gotta double check it tho

[wintry valve]

nvm, top mistland food give more than the picnic

[rain flare]

The big thing for feasts is the longevity
They last nearly 2x as much as regular foods (ignoring the ones that last for 30 min)

[ionic elk]

I'm gonna make loads of different food items first anyways and do a test run or two while I find the last sealbreaker fragment..that heckin key 🥲

They only spawn in dungeons right? Seed viewer told me one was in a Dverger tower, I suspect it just wants me to get into shenanigans tho

[honest burrow]

I just discovered that you can iron wood poles are smaller than any others. Thank god I have the option to cover them with the other options

They look nice and all, but not when trying to make a cozy building

[tacit crystal]

As they also last longer their stats deteriorate slower.

I like using 2 best feasts available and 3rd option depending what stat I need more.

[shy marlin]

Eitr eitr feast is a goated combo (assuming feast is mistlands or higher)

[steel mica]

Feasts are really good especially if your going full magic

[tacit crystal]

Surely for mageplaying.

[steel mica]

the balance of health and food is nice since you dont have to pick between either sta or health food

curious

has anyone ever bought the powdered dragon eggshell and actually used the troll endurance mead?

[rotund parrot]

Yes, often, especially useful in the plains to bring back all the blackmetal from a camp in one trip

[shy marlin]

Useful in ssg speedruns too

[rain flare]

I can get that - but honestly?
If I’m worried about stat degradation due to time limits, I’ll just have multiple backups of my choice foods and eat it half way in a boss fight

I ain’t about to sacrifice my massive eitr reserves for longevity
The fight must be over already damnit! 😂

casts infinite fireball, then drinks an eitr potion for a top-up

[rain flare]

Troll endurance mead is goated

[steel mica]

Im only using it bc im getting stones from the mountains

and the stones keep getting stuck on the sides

[rain flare]

Very good time for it tbh

[steel mica]

yep

the ||battering ram|| is very good

[rain flare]

I am honestly so worried about what the hel we are going to be carrying in deep north

You can get 3 carry weight boosters by the time you finish Ashlands for roughly 1k carry weight

[rotund parrot]

for some things you can teleport I'd rather deadlift 6000 lbs and teleport it to where it needs to be

[rain flare]

So…
What the hels are we lifting??? 😂

[pliant hatch]

Icebergs, perhaps?

As long as it's straight ahead, that is. 👼

[rotund parrot]

Seals

They are not seals but walrus aren't they?

[steel mica]

for an earlygame fish, trollfish really drain your stamina

[nocturne wolf]

This doesn't mean we're expected to have them all active.

[rotund parrot]

There's no way they could force you to since we can teleport everything at that point

Unless it's something really heavy at the bottom of a dungeon that would take you 20 minutes to bring out

[rain flare]

I hope not 😂

[steel mica]

As I return home I just see the destruction that my other tamed asksvins have done

[rain flare]

Fishing is an art
Are you in a boat while doing your fishing?

[steel mica]

Nop

[rain flare]

Best fishing tactic is get in a boat and drop your line like 3 feet away

Works wonders for stamina consumption

[rotund parrot]

Trick is to catch it as close as possible, having an insane amount of stamina and spamming E to catch it by hand as soon as it's possible

[steel mica]

I know but what I do is when I see that the fish is approaching the bait I retract the line so its less travel distance

[shy marlin]

Trick is to never engage with fishing 😎

[rain flare]

No troll fish for you 🤭

[rotund parrot]

As little as possible, just enough for some troll endurance and some sailors bounty

[steel mica]

Feast are really good especially when your building or doing other stuff that isnt generally fighting

[rotund parrot]

just allows for a smooth early-mid game having that feasts available early on

[steel mica]

brother most of the stone I mined literally despawned

[rotund parrot]

unless it's been days it probably just auto stack

[steel mica]

Nope most of them despawned

it been only like 2 days

[sly olive]

I’ve only been playing since Saturday and I already think this is one of the best games I’ve played in the last 10 years.
Also, how on Earth did they manage to package it all into a 1.3GB download?!

[rain flare]

I know right???
This is one of the best games of all time in my opinion ❤️‍🔥

[steel mica]

Curious

[rain flare]

It is honestly so refreshing to just play a game that remembers it is one

[steel mica]

Sildar, will devs fix the issue with the crosshairs for bows and crossbows being unaligned?

in the combat update?

[mint bluff]

probably mostly because it doesnt have a bunch of 4k textures like a lot of games nowadays do

[rain flare]

Probably - we'll just have to wait and see how the combat update comes along 🥳

[steel mica]

Goody because missing your crossbow shots are not fun

[rain flare]

Modern game problems:
Too many textures, not enough content 🤦‍♂️

[rain flare]

Indeed 🙈

[weary egret]

I save feasts for fighting, i feel very comfortable fighting with 2 health foods and 1 feast

I feel like i can parry anything

And if i dont, i prob won't die in 1-shot

[rain flare]

You know @steel mica ...
I'd be pretty stoked to actually see water for the first time if all I had was a bubble bath and lava too 😆
#screenshots message

[steel mica]

Wdym by this?

[rain flare]

Your askvins are basically lava lizards - so them loving being in water rather than something that can burn you to a crisp is cute is all ❤️

[steel mica]

Ah

Lizard but on roids

I just let them rome free so incase of a raid I can just run to them and they'll protect me

[tacit crystal]

Necks on roids.

[steel mica]

I plan to build a statue of odin but my god is that gonna take alot of reinforcement

[sly olive]

It’s still very impressive, there’s a lot going on and the lighting is beautiful.

[sly olive]

I can’t wait to do more exploring. I was on Reddit today and couldn’t believe what I saw on some of the building pages, some person has spent 800+ hours on an entire city.

[cunning orbit]

is there anyone looking for a teammate?

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 yet?

[cunning orbit]

thanks

[placid dust]

Anyone have tips for finding a 2 star askvin other than just go to ashlands at night

[pliant hatch]

Without using dev commands: Go to Ashlands at night.
With using dev commands: spawn it in.

[ionic elk]

Oop oke the plains feast is 50 HP and stamina, so I think I'll go for seeker aspic, mushroom omelettes and serpent stew for the Queen fight! And then enjoy the experience of going all the way down south in the monster truck of boats

[lethal brook]

Good afternoon guys, is there any Brazilian here?

[ionic elk]

I'm also gonna go whole ham hock with potions ofc, think I'll go with lingering stamina Regen and double down on HP foods cos I'm sure to take some gnarly knocks. Kinda glad it's in a closed off, unique arena. Probably cos Gjalls/friendly Dverger

[steel mica]

WE HAVE A BREACH

A MORGEN BREACHED THE FORTRESS

[nocturne wolf]

Why are you using magic and health food together? Don't you have a staff of protection?

[tacit crystal]

• Asksvin usually spawn in areas with lava,
• Dig a pit beforehand and leave foods there,
• Kill all asksvin you encounter so they may spawn again,
• Use either harpoon to drag it in or lure it to leap attack at you so it jumps into the pit,
• You can cover the pit with grausten after getting it there,
• Stay close until it starts to tame.

[ionic elk]

I do but I'm not entirely confident I'll be able to get another one back up in time after it breaks when there's a tonne of extra enemies swarming me. Still kinda getting the hang of casting as I jump to avoid the animation locking me in place

[tacit crystal]

I would rather have extra stamina for movement as the protection shield acts as another defensive layer.

And keeping distance is easier too.

[ionic elk]

I'm gonna try getting my magic and sword skills up to 40 before I go for the boss fight anyway, so I'll practice! I'm gonna have wiped all the fueling villages out before I know it 🥲

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping can be used for more than just magic, it allows you to perform almost any animation without slowing down. Try using it when you need to drink a mead or use your forsaken power. It also helps for melee attacks since jumping is already better than rolling to dodge most attacks so you can dodge and attack at the same time.

[ionic elk]

Aaahh oke so this is like, the knowledge

I have been murderated so many times trying to trigger my forsaken power 🥲 thanks! I'm gonna do a push it to the limit training montage

[old flint]

Question: If I build a treehouse in black forest will trolls try and chop down the tree?

[steel mica]

Yes

[whole salmon]

If you build a raised ground plateau it's troll proof. Bring fire arrows.

[candid basalt]

But trolls can hit through it. So don’t build anything within 6 meters of that raised wall

Wait you said plateau that’s different

[wet wyvern]

can someone help me learn the game

[candid basalt]

But still

Best way to learn is to play

[whole salmon]

I have a base on one. It doesn't seem to take any damage from trolls.

[steel mica]

They will start attacking the tree once in range

They dont attack unless in range of something

you or the tree house

they dont actually target the tree itself but rather you and any nearby building pieces

[old flint]

Where do you need help?

[whole salmon]

They just beat on the side of my plateau while I pick them off with fire arrows.

[steel mica]

Yes your tree house is practically invicible if you have terrain walls surrounding it but not too close

but if that terrain wall wasnt there, bye bye tree house

[whole salmon]

completely plateau house. Lots and lots of rocks.

[steel mica]

Not my type of base defense but im not against it

I enjoy actual walls

[languid vessel]

I would love a rudimentary form of mechanization
i want to put a replica of the Padova clock on a tower (after i design one) but the hands will never move which saddens me.

[vocal rivet]

I'm sure Minecraft has something like that.

[mild creek]

When will the final version of the game be released?

[wooden tapir]

when deep north is complete

[violet inlet]

they have not said when yet, possible combat update before the deep north comes out.

[torpid knot]

is there an estimated time for the release?

damn

[violet inlet]

bruh lol

[violet inlet]

they have not said anything

[torpid knot]

unfortunately

[violet inlet]

they are taking time to make a good update

[torpid knot]

super excited for it

[tacit crystal]

It's not just possible combat update, it's definite combat update coming up.

[violet inlet]

"possible" meaning soon I forgot to add that

[tacit crystal]

Ah okay, for me "possible" seemed more like "something might coming" but thanks for clarifying. 👍

[violet inlet]

all good, I think it will be a great update honestly can't wait to build a new armory with whatever they add.

[vocal rivet]

That's what that word usually means, yes.

[tacit crystal]

Same, and also what else might be added to the game. 👌

Currently light armors ftw!

[violet inlet]

I forget if they said that new bone armor will be before OR after deep north

[tacit crystal]

The teased armor set is coming in combat update.

[vocal rivet]

There'll be no content after Deep North, so that's an easy one.

[violet inlet]

very fun, I prob won't use it much prefer heavy builds but will gladly display it on a stand.

[tacit crystal]

We don't know yet if it will have some kind of set bonus, quite excited for what that will be.

[violet inlet]

that is true, might make it worth ditching my normal build.

[vocal rivet]

People will no doubt set expectations far too high and complain when it doesn't meet them.

[violet inlet]

welcome to the internet

[shy marlin]

Nope that's already confirmed it was shown on instagram to have a set bonus

#screenshots message

[tacit crystal]

I have some kind of small expectations that I think would be really nice and fitting for the upcoming update, but my world won't crumble even if they aren't added. Slope combat improvement alone is a huge one.

[violet inlet]

can't make out what it says, sadness

[shy marlin]

yea, but it's def a set bonus element

[tacit crystal]

Ah, forgot the AMA teasers lol.

[violet inlet]

oh 1000%

if I had to guess the set will have something to do with high attack speed maybe light weapons.

[near furnace]

no one seems to have scavanged the other AMA takeover 😦

https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17920064670096278/

I can see some stuff in it aswell 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

I didn’t notice anything we hadn’t seen already

[tacit crystal]

I have, and noted to some people still claiming that the skull on pauldron would have beak that it indeed has fangs.

[shy marlin]

Same

[near furnace]

I won't point out the 2 things then 🤔

[shy marlin]

We've seen the aurora, the armor set, not sure what slide 8 is but after that yea idk

[tacit crystal]

Oh the tease.

[tacit crystal]

Is this something new? #screenshots message

[nocturne wolf]

I was thinking about that, I’m not sure where that exact explosion is used

[tacit crystal]

Gotta see how the unstable lava rock explosions look like, don't remember.

[shy marlin]

not like that

it looks like staff of protection asset but exploding

[tacit crystal]

True, tested. Unga bunga'd one with Slayer.

[vocal rivet]

I'm not falling for this again.

[light moat]

Been playing Valheim again, we resumed our playthrough in the Ashlands. My buddy and I sailed to mystery location 1, and our Drakkar got destroyed in the process

Mage is a lot of fun, but seeing all the cool weapons and collecting Dyrnwyn fragments makes me miss good ole’ melee

[sour furnace]

do gjalls really just drop one bile bag? all of that trouble for only 3 bombs per bile bag doesn't seem right.

[light moat]

I believe so yeah, starred variants obviously drop more, but they can be tricky.

[steel mica]

Maybe gjalls should drop blood clots snice its basically just a giant flying tick

along with the bile bag

[nocturne wolf]

You already get blood clots from the ticks they spawn

[tacit crystal]

Nothing beats the good ol' melee style.

[steel mica]

Id like more

other than yeah the ticks give blood clots

curious

[tacit crystal]

Return to the infested mines you've cleared, they respawn some of the enemies inside.

[steel mica]

can you capture a gjall and make a tick farm

[cloud fox]

Are you able to sell treasures to the bog witch?

[steel mica]

All npcs/traders yes

[cloud fox]

Ahaa okay good good

[steel mica]

Im gonna try and capture a gjall in the future

[near furnace]

you can capture one

in a metal box

[ionic elk]

Give the staff of embers a go, just 1 Eitr food and you can have fireballs on tap. It absolutely spoils you for area damage

[jaunty turtle]

how rare is it to find an iron gate down inside a sunken crypt? I think this is the first time I have found one

[light moat]

It’s pretty rare, consider it a fun little easter egg, nice find!

[jaunty turtle]

fun easter egg and a reference to the dev comp :)

[robust delta]

can't wait for the combat update 😼

[heady parcel]

I honestly don't care much either way, to me combat is more or less perfectly tuned as is. Sloped aiming can be frustrating, but being able to jump out of the enemy's hit "ray" has saved me more than once when I have been too panicked to dodge. Also getting on top of a rock in plains with a herd of angry lox or a wolf hunt on your tail - lifesaving strategies. Sloped combat being fixed is going to be a double edged blade. If we can aim at an angle, rest assured it will apply to mobs too. Cheezing stuff from a height will most likely become a lot more complicated...

[sour furnace]

aye, i'm doing a magic run this time, but i'm still stuck in the blackmetal age. I've been juggling around my 6 black cores to make a feather cape, so what do you think the best thing to make would be now?

[errant knoll]

More important than the bile bag is the blood clots from the ticks they spawn

Have a large stockpile of stuffed mushrooms and major healing meads from all the ticks I've killed

And while stuffed mushrooms isn't a BiS food it's very good when I return to an older biome and won't need something particularly strong

[tepid prawn]

You can deconstruct the galdr table and make the forge or other things that need 5 black cores as needed to progress before you have more

[errant knoll]

Think sausages but for magic

[tacit crystal]

All the better - no too cheesy strategies, kill or be killed.

[vocal rivet]

Now that's a sentence that's never been said before.

[errant knoll]

I have LOADS of sausages sitting in storage lol from when I killed loads of draugr, and whenever I revisit an old biome it's like, i dont need this BiS hp

And with magic it's kinda the same, 1 blood clot and a bunch of farmable materials makes a stuffed mushroom. Doesn't need sap. It's a cheap food.

[tepid prawn]

I always have more sap than blood clots

I make a sap farm with usually min around 4 collectors with pathways between them, and torches lining it, works very well.

[errant knoll]

Meh, needing sap to make refined eitr

Idk, just end up not needing blood clots for many things so have a large stockpile of them sitting around.

If I want more black marble, inevitably I'm exploring the mistlands, get plenty of blood clots

And normally I do want black marble, I like building with it.

[valid python]

On the hunt for the Tetra! Its pretty great because mountain is actully my favorite Biome.

[light moat]

Good opportunity to collect a lot of goodies from the frost caves. My favorite dungeon in Valheim ❄️

[valid python]

Frozen lake, so close

[valid python]

Agreed! The amount of improvement between Swamp dungeon and mountain!! The frost caves almost don't feel procedural but hand crafted!

[tepid prawn]

some swamp crypts have absolutel amazing layouts too though just less vertical, I love both the same

[steel mica]

Are ||fallen valkyrie|| the only enemy that can dmg the fortress?

[tepid prawn]

the explodey things can damage the ground near it and dig holes depending on where they go boom

[halcyon thistle]

☝️ actually, there might be

[vocal rivet]

There's none planned but there's potential for change.

[neon swan]

Lowkey Casual death penalty keeps my mind at peace

[halcyon thistle]

the words chosen by Grimmcore when answering that question were "most likely"

[steel mica]

will they damage the base' perirmeter walls?

[halcyon thistle]

to back up my claims:

[tepid prawn]

.

[halcyon thistle]

might've answered the wrong message

[vocal rivet]

Eh, Grimm has said a lot of things over the years. I tend to take them with a pinch of salt.

[halcyon thistle]

for the conflicting things I just assume the latest is the correct one

[tepid prawn]

yeah i did lol

[halcyon thistle]

when hard no's turn into maybe's then into most likely's it's interesting

[tepid prawn]

Yes they can do that, the ones made from earth but actual fort walls not sure

I'm looking forward to build in the DN after I start to survive reasonably well there sometime next year most likely.

Just did the first non fortress base in Ashlands a little while ago

[wintry valve]

what about a deeper north?

[halcyon thistle]

an underworldly north

imagine the endgame, you flip the world coin and it's a whole new world

[wintry valve]

I just thought about it. What would happen if we were allowed to dig as deep as we wanted? It is, after all, a disk shaped world

[halcyon thistle]

flatheim

[wintry valve]

Its like, one more pickaxe swing and whoopsie daisies im an astronaut now.

[shy marlin]

Smiffe has said things wouldn’t happen and they did happen so also take his words with a grain of salt then too ( #suggestion-discussion message )

[halcyon thistle]

my favorite lines from that interview involve them saying my ideas would be cool to have in the game

oh to be heard

[wintry valve]

I know that feeling. Back when I was playing phantasy star online 2 new genesis, everything I said the game should have got into the game eventually. Especially the stuff everyone said was a bad idea.

[halcyon thistle]

oh yeah, those have additional weight

my suggestion for firespread to be an optional world modifier had a lot of dislikes, and it eventually made into the game, not sure if it came from me but it was added so that's a win anyway

[wintry valve]

I said "we need something to do between events, a relaxing activity like a card game or whatever". We got a card game.
I said the current weapon model wasnt as fun as it seemed and we needed something that was more lasting, possibly with some upgrade lines like in monster hunters. We got that.

There were other stuff too but I forgor

[halcyon thistle]

I was definitely very vocal about it, got Grimmcore to speak about it in VC in 2021 about the build they had with it, then in the AMA on reddit, then Ashlands happened and they found a good reason to put it in

now I'm hoping for a type of explosive eitr staff that can modify terrain

or geological staff that can move the ground up or down for deffense or even attack idk, I just like rocks and dirt

[wintry valve]

Oh yeah, I said that it was unacceptable that we had to use upgrade materials one by one when we needed over 200 of them to upgrade a single weapon and we could only use them 5 at a time. Legit took half an hour of clicking for me to upgrade a single item out of five. They fixed that soon after.

Essentially, what I am saying is that I am obviously a genius and everything I say is objective truth.

Also I value humility. This is important.

[halcyon thistle]

same

we should collab and do game dev

[wintry valve]

Well Im already doing that, but on a different kind of medium.

[halcyon thistle]

well I shouldn't say dev

let's direct game development, don't wanna get my hands dirty

[wintry valve]

Thats called being a consultant

[halcyon thistle]

don't wanna code, just wanna point

[wintry valve]

If they win, its because they listened to you. If they fall, its not your fault because you were just a subcontractor.

[halcyon thistle]

I have no experience but I do want to apply

[wintry valve]

Someone on the net once said that you dont really need experience to start making games

[halcyon thistle]

to be hired as consultant that is

[wintry valve]

oh

[ionic elk]

I'd 100% invest in the staff of protection & embers and the mistwalker as well! The frost staff is good vs big single targets, like seeker soldiers, fueling berserkers, but embers will come in clutch much much more often, and totally substitute for the bile bombs, plus it's something you can level a skill for. Krom and the other weapons are a lot of fun, but I feel like they are more geared towards other biomes. I'm in the process of finding a nice patch of swamp with multiple spawners nearby so I can head there and level up all the magic before the boss fight. Dead raiser is a lot of fun too, but it needs 100 Eitr per use, so you need to eat 2 Eitr foods to use it, and imo it's useless in Mistlands because of all the sloped combat and the enemy 1 shot the skellies till you get a load of levels in em. Have fun!

[rain flare]

You aren’t using shield on your skellies…?

You do shoot yourself in thine own foot good sir! 😂

[merry pebble]

Even with the shield they are not that usefull 🙂 but ofc much better than without it 😄

[rain flare]

The skellies are only supposed to draw aggro - not kill the mobs for you! 🤭

Also, skellies are an excellent way to level blood magic

[merry pebble]

That is true 🙂

[rain flare]

Much better than just breaking your shield

[jaunty turtle]

do not underestimate a good distraction. While skelets might not absorb much damage before death, all the excess damage dealt to them is wasted damage that could have taken you down instead
(I know someone else made the same point more or less, I am a slow typer :) )

[tepid prawn]

Skellis are more useful if you're not "afraid" of resummoning them all the time and sometimes going slow so they can keep up

[halcyon star]

hello everyone

I have one question, are mods for Valheim legal?

[heady parcel]

Actually burial chambers too, although much more rarely. I have found a few huge ones with several passages up or down or both. And the ambience in them is amazing. Kinda sad there's little or no reason to enter them after bronze age.

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.com/news/regarding-mods/ here is devs stand on them 😄
But people use them all the time, if you want some recomendations you can look in #mods-discussion

[halcyon star]

thanks

[queen hound]

When is deep north update coming ish?

[merry pebble]

We have no idea 🙂

We have been told that it will not be anytime soon tho, and there will be one more update before it 🙂

[queen hound]

google ai says its predicted to be around late 2025 or early to mid 2026

cant wait

[merry pebble]

Never trust AI...

[queen hound]

True

[brazen linden]

Ai picks up what other write on internet. So what other bots/AI/Npc's write about on internet, are "AI truth"...
What a timeline to live in...

[tacit crystal]

Nah, immediate jail time if you ever download even one.

|| Kidding.||

[brazen linden]

In my country, we go to jail if we download a car...

[ionic elk]

I do!! I even use the shield on my chickens as I hop into a portal

It's just in Mistlands in particular they rarely ever make contact with what they're trying to hit cos slopes, so I prefer having more HP and stamina than investing in double Eitr noms. I have taken down every fueling village on my map so far with my merry band of skellies, I'm trying to find an area of swamp with a lot of spawners around and build a portal there for ez levelling before boss fights cos it's kinda the perfect spot for quick respawned enemies, without the risk of me dying to a well timed group of deathsquito.

Also I love the kinda Easter egg of the skellies having some of the same names as some of the characters on the rune stones

[hard fox]

Guys I had a question
I am currently using bronze armor but heard that troll armour is most like give the same amount protection while giving the sneaky stats and also lightweight so less stamina cost
So just was wondering which will be worth it to go

[pliant hatch]

Use both and figure out which one suits your playstyle best.

Light armor is more suited for rangers and rogue-like combat, while heavy armor is more the tankish style of gameplay.

Once you found which one is the most useful to you, put the other one on display on an armor stand, so you got some backup armor in case things go wrong. (and things will go wrong eventually)

[hard fox]

Thanks !!

[pliant hatch]

Just a warning, you will have to face the same dilemma again when reaching the 6th biome. But for a somewhat different reason.

[hard fox]

Gotchu

[rain flare]

As a thought for this, you should also consider how you want to play weapon and shield wise

The way you block damage depends on 2 factors
Block armor, which is applied if you decide to try and block an attack

Then you have regular armor armor which is always applied when you take damage, but is only applied after the damage reduction from blocking

If you use heavy armor, you are getting a nice damage reduction with or without a shield

If you do light armor, you might want to practice using a buckle type shield or getting good at dodging cause you are gonna die real quick if something decides to throw hands 😅

I like being an absolute tank, so I do heavy armor and a tower shield since it has a high block armor to go with my high armor armor

And tower shields do knockback when enemies hit you, so it’s helpful for getting a number of smaller enemies out of your face

[tropic wharf]

hola guys is there a mod that can replace better continents? cus i think last one isnt work now

[tacit crystal]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[tropic wharf]

thx

[heady parcel]

Ugh, I'm kinda sick of Ashlands for the moment, so I'm thinking of either taking the cloth and go slumming in lower biomes to level magic skills, or I'll simply sail off to explore uncharted islands (wearing the cloth, so killing stuff will still do the former). OR starting from scratch on another world, to get that early game vibe again. Ashlands is awesome in many ways, but damn it is exhausting.

[rain flare]

I’m taking a well earned brake myself 😅

Is intense is that biome 😂

[heady parcel]

Indeed

[violet inlet]

good morning

[heady parcel]

That's the mage set in Ashlands right? So if you play pure mage I would assume yes. If not, a waste of materials most likely.

[ionic elk]

I'm hoping to defeat the queen tonight, super duper apprehensive to head straight to Ashlands after 🫠 might go do another sealed tower or something for a bit of funne

[violet inlet]

I used it for awhile but did enjoy it for my magic builds, really depends on your play style.

[shy marlin]

yoooo

[steel mica]

the scale is here

[shy marlin]

Watch out I might start talking about skill expression

and how deep north shouldn't have heavy armor

[steel mica]

I would like to see a winter cape like coat similar to the ashen cape covering the players face

[tacit crystal]

Just an armor made of seal hide.

[steel mica]

not the seals

[shy marlin]

A small sacrifice

[steel mica]

Im curious

What is the biggest base in valheim that is built from the ground up, no devcommands, just straight resource gathering and building a huge base

[amber geode]

I would say that they're legal as long as you don't try to sell your modded version as "Craft From Chests Valheim" or similar. But, if you're truly concerned, then I would contact the various authorities around the world to find out. Copyright law is a freakin' Gordion Knot, however, so it'll be a tough slog for you to find out.

[light moat]

Deep north has light and lighter armor

[wintry valve]

hardlight

[vocal rivet]

Deep armour.

[steel mica]

Medium armour

[severe yew]

Are trees allowed?

[steel mica]

Wdym by trees

[severe yew]

Using trees as a foundation.

[steel mica]

Pretty much everything is fair game as long as your not using devcommands to have inf resources

[steel mica]

Wait no I get what you're trying to say

what I meant is whats the biggest base in valheim, no devcommands , no inf resources, just hands, and creativity, and a dream to build a big base

[analog pine]

I had a stupid thought. Chilly Beans in the Deep North. Use them to make a Mead of Tailwind for 30 seconds of tailwind whilst sailing or using the Asksvin Cloak. Effective and moderately juvenile.

Although I'm half expecting there to be something more minty up there. Surely, there's a special type of crop that flourishes in the freeze.

[light moat]

I’m guessing they’ll have a Valheim exclusive crop that mirrors something IRL, like vine berries

[analog pine]

Breath Mints from Mint crops. Throw them at Yagluth and he can't use his fire breath. Delightfully useless at that point.

[light moat]

The new foods are always the most exciting part of new updates for me

[steel mica]

I am getting the "too big base" syndrome feel

My base perimeter is gigantic 😭

[analog pine]

I'm personally hoping for an eitr-themed cape to lower eitr usage a bit and some newer necromancy weapons. The skeletts and unwieldy flame trolls are getting a bit bland for us 3 necromancer mains.

[nocturne wolf]

I really want a new summon weapon too

[light moat]

Oh wow, that’s huge 👀

[analog pine]

It's a shame the flaming trolls are aggressive. I really, really wanted to pet one.

[steel mica]

check screenshot

its all hand gathered resources

[light moat]

I did, that’s what I was referring to 🙂

[steel mica]

I still got the plains base and mistlands base to do 😭

[light moat]

I could see a wraith summoning item, could be interesting.

Had this thought the other day- might expand on it… but it would be interesting if you could use the components of Dyrnwyn in perhaps some ritual or something to make a staff that summons charred to fight for you.

[steel mica]

O wait I was thinking upgrading the dead raiser to the charred version, summons charred skellies instead of normal ones but it requires a material that is only gatherable in the ashlands

similar to the sword fragments

[nocturne wolf]

How about a staff that summons magic greylings who explode when they die? Use a high knockback weapon to turn them into projectiles

[steel mica]

A ballistic missile at that point

Just yeet your summoned greyling

[analog pine]

A ranged-based flying summon would be nice to contrast the purely melee ones we have now. I can see wyverns getting a more developed form in a dedicated frost biome.

[nocturne wolf]

The dead raiser spawns melee or archer skeletons randomly but I'd like it to be chosen by using primary/secondary attack

[quasi latch]

Summon greyling, baxe poke, repeat

[nocturne wolf]

A flying ranged summon wouldn't be killable by most enemies, too op

[analog pine]

True. Magic-based and grounded?

[nocturne wolf]

I've already talked about neck summons (a lot), they could alternatively spawn as neck mages like skeletons spawning as archers

[analog pine]

Is that a neck with a wizard hat and staff?

[nocturne wolf]

It could be

[analog pine]

I love it.

[light moat]

Neck! Use Hydro Pump!

[nocturne wolf]

Neck! Use exploding greyling!

[analog pine]

It's strange, but I kind of want a neck pet. Just so I can give it pets after a long day. Park it in the base and it'll teleport to your bed to sleep at your feet when you sleep.

[quasi latch]

Level up fists skill and oneshot them with your bare hands

[analog pine]

Random observation. Chickens and Hens have no eyes. You can't "unsee" this.

[quasi latch]

wtf

[light moat]

Looks like it has eyes to me 👀

Boar is a similar boat, where it’s eyes are kinda shadowy

[nocturne wolf]

The chickens definitely do not have eyes. Hens maybe but it's just one slightly darker pixel.

[light moat]

Oh fair, didn’t consider the chicken

[analog pine]

Still, every time you look at them, the thought of them possibly strangely having no eyes become a bit more noticeable.

[analog pine]

If the Staff of Protection uses the caster's blood as a shield, does that mean vikings with blood diseases can pass them to others?

[shy marlin]

Does it use the casters blood as a shield? I interpret it as using the eitr to cast the shield physically harms us

[light moat]

I interpret it as using blood to give to some deity in exchange for a magic effect 🤔

[near furnace]

There will be some content, big fixes and such after deep north after 1.0. I've said so before. But the gameplay progression is set after deep north.

[severe yew]

I wouldn't think so. If the shield is blood, wouldn't it have to get in someone's bloodstream to give them the disease? Might be effective against Morgens if it is though.

[shy marlin]

Also isn't the staff of prot made out of the blood clots from ticks

Been a while since i've used magic

[near furnace]

Magic is heretical

[light moat]

Still no ember staff emoji 😭
Still no Dyrnwyn emoji 😭

[light moat]

One might say that the blood clots aren’t used to physically craft the staff, but is instead consumed upon creating the staff?
I’m being nit picky, but it’s a fun convo lol

[pliant hatch]

You don't need dev commands anymore. Just use the "no build cost" modifier and you can build using everything you have discovered for base building.

[steel mica]

Ah

[rain flare]

Dun dun duuuuuuuuin! 😂

[valid python]

Jotun puffs, Jotun puffs! (Eat em' up. Eat em' up. Eat em' up.)

[steel mica]

Im so afraid to give my asksvins food

Because the moment I give them 1 stack of food they devour all of that and produce eggs like the wazooo

[maiden granite]

Using the obliterator to nearly one shot Eikthyr is cool 🙂

[steel mica]

THIS DAMN FISHES

[valid python]

You can just about 1 shot him with a knife pounce if you time it just right. There's like a half second window before the boss locks onto you where you can get in a backstab hit.

[scenic igloo]

what is the logic behind parrying, like dmg wise how much can you parry, is it when u have more parry armor than the total damage dealt or what

[tacit crystal]

There is this spreadsheet of the mechanics of blocking and parrying, found in pinned messages.

[scenic igloo]

dont see it

nvm found it

[scenic igloo]

if the queens damage was doubles can i parry it still? u reccon

[tacit crystal]

You mean the double claw attack? I think it can be parried iirc.

[rotund parrot]

parry has no use agaisn't bosses

[scenic igloo]

just any attack but it has over double damage

[tacit crystal]

Well, parry blocks more damage but costs more stamina and bosses are immune to stagger.

[tacit crystal]

Umm, starred? I have no experience of those mods.

[scenic igloo]

all it does is 50% more dmg and 100% mroe hp

[tacit crystal]

I have experience only from Queen without any mods. Not even from hard difficulty yet.

[scenic igloo]

was parrying easy?

[tacit crystal]

With buckler it's easily parriable, but I usually rely on dodging more against bosses.

[scenic igloo]

then i have a chance

also what is the item that i see in a video being thrown at the boss?

[tacit crystal]

Which video?

And what does the item look like?

Does it look like explosive? Might be bilebomb.

[scenic igloo]

valheim top 5 ways to kill the queen, throwable that does tick damage

[nocturne wolf]

The queen has some of the highest knockback in the game, four of her attacks have 250. Rolling will avoid this knockback, otherwise you’re spending so much time running back to her.

[scenic igloo]

ye, vile bomb

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, bilebomb.

Craftable in workbench, require sap, bilebag and resin (iirc).

[scenic igloo]

i hate the bilebag part but its doable

[steel mica]

Guys

Asksvin launcher 9000 is now a thing 😭

its hilarious

[nocturne wolf]

What happened to the other 8999

[steel mica]

Lets not talk about that

The other asksvins uhh

It was a worthy sacrifice

If you wanna recreate the hilarious disaster I did

heres how to re-create it

Step-1 get two asksvins
Step-2 get as close as you can to one of the asksvin and then harpoon them
Step-3 ride the other asksvin
Step-4 watch as your viking lad gets launched at mach 10

[nocturne wolf]

Could you put it in #memes-and-clips ?

[steel mica]

I cant record it now unfortunately since now my brother is now using the laptop 😭

[tacit crystal]

Gotta try lol.

[steel mica]

Fair warning leave your best gear at your base

and maybe get a portal and some stamina potions

I got so lucky on where I landed

[tacit crystal]

Dw I'm trying it in my test world.

[steel mica]

I landed on a black forest biome so I was able to get back home

I have no idea what happened to the other asksvin I used but its probably long gone

I went under the map and got teleported to the oceab near a black forest biome

[errant knoll]

About to try my first build where I don't terraform the land to be totally flat - I'm gonna try to work with the natural terrain and only raise/lower bits to fit

[tacit crystal]

Succeeded with one asksvin to launch myself a bit, even without riding other one lol.

DANG! Succeeded even more successfully! Gotta see how the clip seems.

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing is happening

[steel mica]

Bye bye asksvins XD

[tacit crystal]

Only one was needed, that launched me to orbit lol.

[steel mica]

I found this out when I was taking asksvin back to their cage

check the screenshot channel xd

[pliant hatch]

You mean this #screenshots message one?

[steel mica]

Yep

[vocal rivet]

Hah, finally. https://www.pcgamesn.com/valheim/new-survival-game

so i pranked my dad with askvin eggs

i put 82 in his base everywhere and there now everywhere

My friend got banned from this server YEARS ago and would like back in are there appeals?

[light moat]

Not really sure how any game can be a Valheim killer, since Valheim is already a dead game. Like it’s dead dead. Dead upon arrival, no one plays it… it only sold like a few million copies?

Dead. Game.

[pallid dirge]

Any game titled "______ killer" is 99.999999% going to be dogshit.

[wintry valve]

Valheim should have a more advanced physic engine so that we can run the valheim space program.

[tacit crystal]

Maybe sending DM to @dusky pivot can help.

[pallid dirge]

How can they modmail this server they are banned from it lol

[light moat]

Your friend will need to make a pilgrimage to Sweden to confess their crimes.

Maybe you could message @dusky pivot on your friends behalf? Lol I’m sure they’ll work it out 👍

[tacit crystal]

You can send the DM.

[pallid dirge]

Ya I DM'd modmail

[vocal rivet]

I've never seen someone unbanned.

[thorny panther]

I really like having all my stuff conveniently in one home base tower. But with the Mist/Ash updates, I'm running out of space. I also have no safe place for the Eitr Refinery.

I could theoretically dig out a cellar but there's a central pillar in my home that's imperative to its support. If I accidentally broke the ground under that pillar and my tower crashed down I'd prob never want to play in my main server again. I might even uninstall the game.

Will a manual world backup work as an emergency failsafe? Like if I decide to do a black marble lined cellar that avoids the middle of the floor and I hit the middle by accident, will the backup let me undo it?

[steel mica]

We live and die by the mechanics, if a tower falls, a tower falls
definitely not me struggling to build my plains base

[thorny panther]

Then no basement for me lol

[rain flare]

You’ll have to work on adding some support structures like raising the ground or building up with metal supports

[steel mica]

Your gonna need alot of support especially in the middle of your base

if you plan on making a basement

[thorny panther]

My plan would be to dig around the center area

When I first built the tower it was meant to be my final and permanent main base so I wanted it to be spacious enough for all my stuff. As I built up, I used rock until I couldn't anymore. I switched to wood and built upwards with that until I couldn't anymore. In other words the tower is at its stability limit. So if ANYTHING happened to the foundation walls or central pillar, I imagine it'd fail stability checks at the top of the wood and rock and probably start crumbling down.

[ionic elk]

I reeeeeally wouldn't bother with bile bombs to primarily kill the queen. I just did the fight last night and it lasted a long time, between trying to find it through the mist, navigate the arena and deal with all the homies the queen was the easiest part of the fight till the last half of her HP - do you not have any magic staffs? At least using those you also level them up! Skellies actually came in clutch. Using frost staff while she was attacking them did the most damage, good luck!

[forest swallow]

Check out player stats on Steam or watch Valheim videos on YouTube and then share your opinion.

[keen trench]

@jagged pivot #1386284593195384902 message sorry to ping, but BotM channel has long timeouts (not discussion channel makes sense) so i'll reply here

about the castle build: i don't know precisely, maybe spawn commands are ok, not sure, if you got a modded armor then yes, just to be sure maybe it's better to remove it (didn't see the armor)... im i posted this just for advice with the goal to preserve validity, but not sure about the strict rules (also not competing myself so it is genuine concern)

[jagged pivot]

I believe you, only thing not vanilla is armour, but in hindsight it is not in the submission anyways. Il try to ask a mod about it because its such an easy fix if so

[keen trench]

yup that's the way, i'm not sure, and the plants are nice looking, so it won't be right to remove them just out of a doubt (also won't be that huge deal on the overall building if eventually have to be removed)

[jagged pivot]

Oh I have torn down bigger castles because I did not like a few walls not lining up haha

[keen trench]

ehehe yep i know the feeling, that one looks totally valid tho 📐

[scenic igloo]

Ight, no bilebombs. I'll probably be only going melee, however a buddy or two of mine will be using range/magic

[ionic elk]

Oh having friends for boss fights, lucky 🥲 the biggest help imo was having tonnes of lingering stamina mead. Mainly cos I was on an Eitr heavy diet

Also gotta say the message about Ashlands from Munin after defeating the queen is very hype

[steel mica]

Ashlands probably has the 2nd best introduction in valheim

The tense sailing theme, munin introducing you to the ashlands

and maybe a certain enemy attacking you

Blackforest remains as the 1st best introduction biome

The introduction of mining, and the famous troll

[keen trench]

not in Ashlands yet but 100% agree on sailing theme 🎶

[steel mica]

It really gets your adrenaline pumpin and boy it really does especially when you land

[keen trench]

yup, watched some live stream here, awesome

[steel mica]

I got very lucky on my first time going there

no serpent attack

[chrome badge]

Personally I would rebuild with more knowledge of the space needed, if this is happening at the Mistlands tier, you're just plain going to be needing more space.

[ionic elk]

I built a lil witches hut for my Galdr table, I was a bit perplexed with needing to build the food prep table too as I hadn't played for like a year. You'll pretty much have to build a base in Ashlands too tho

[chrome badge]

I like to avoid the 'everything in one building' approach, and made a proper little village that can accommodate virtually anything.

[candid basalt]

I like to make a central storage warehouse and have buildings around it. Blacksmith, meadhall/kitchen and magic/advanced crafting

Don’t take my word for it. See for yourself how Valheim’s very own community thinks of their game.

Dunno if that works or not but that'd be the way to do it

[candid basalt]

I’ll try thanks

[heady parcel]

Yeah, he stood there for the longest time just looking, then turned around to stomp a bit, but turned back and kept staring out over the sea.

[shy marlin]

yes

[errant knoll]

Idk, my first entrance into a swamp is my most memorable experience in the game I think

Just see the earth shifting and noping out of there

[rain flare]

Embla set doesn’t need upgrades dude

[errant knoll]

My favourite soundtrack in the game is probably mistlands though, I love how it's calm and yet has reverse-cymbal style crescendos to set you on edge

[tacit crystal]

Current highest quality, so yeah.

[rain flare]

You do NOT need to upgrade your magic robes cause all it’s doing is increasing armor and durability

So don’t do it
Save those resources for upgrading your staves 🥳

[errant knoll]

Yeah, do it once there's nothing left to upgrade

[rain flare]

Just don’t get hit - throw trolls at it

I mean you literally have a magic shield that is worth more than upgrading your robes

[errant knoll]

I upgrade them eventually just because I have a habit of being lazy when revisiting older biomes lol

Is there anything other than Seeker soldiers which is capable of cutting down Yggdrassil Shoots in the mistlands? (Talking purely about enemy damage)

Cause I kinda want to try building around these trees and incorporating them into the builds look. You can't just plant them after all

[heady parcel]

Can't be sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if gjall bombardment will destroy them too

[errant knoll]

But if there's sources I can't keep out so easily

Don't want falling trees to destroy what I've done

[tacit crystal]

They don't. Only soldiers in Mistlands do.

[errant knoll]

Ok so what I'm getting from this, try and incorporate a build where the trees are in the centre and clear the stuff near the outside of the build

I'm planning a particularly big build here, lots of mist-free space
