[errant knoll]

I noticed even the trollstav doesn't seem to get rid of them

[tacit crystal]

The yggdrasil trees you mean?

Have used Trollstav solely for clearing them dvergr towers safely but haven't tried chopping/mining Mistlands materials with it.

[errant knoll]

Both the trees and petrified bone

I tried using trollstav and just got a bunch of stone

[heady parcel]

Dangit, I need to make that staff

Time to go fortress hunting I guess

[tacit crystal]

The best thing about the Trollstav and Wild staff is that they don't require upgrading to be strong.

Trollstav only increases its durability since the maximum of 2 trolls doesn't change and while upgrading Wild staff increases the damage of the projectile it doesn't affect to the damage the roots deal, it depends on elemental magic skill level.

[heady parcel]

Good to know. I don't use magic at all usually, but the utility of the Trollstav seems to be to great to ignore, so I know what to use my next red gem for...

[steel mica]

must upgrade thy fancy shoes

[rain flare]

Troll stave is honestly so good it’s almost op 🥳

You, the glass cannon, has lost the one stave that shall safe guard your life while in full magely outfits???

For shame on you! 😂

[rain flare]

smack smack
My fancy shoes are fancy enough thank you! 😂🫂

[tacit crystal]

Mageplayer who doesn't use Staff of Protection is someone who is searching for trouble.

Shield that takes all damage before HP and prevents getting staggered is surely strong defensive layer.

[rain flare]

You aren’t playing properly if you need to constantly re-use that bubble

Don’t think like a knight in shining armor - think like a mage and bomb the ever loving Hel out of everything from a safe distance 🔥

If it is close enough to hit back, you are doing something wrong

[heady parcel]

Ugh, keeping wolves in the house is all cosy and stuff, but their tendency to all get stuck in the stairwell is pissing me off. After all that effort to collect them I am very close to just kicking them out and let them roam the forest instead.

Nah I'm not gonna eat them, the hunted event provides enough meat on its own 😄

[heady parcel]

This is why I am unfit to play wizard-viking. I'm the kind of player who was hitting the kobolds with my staff when playing mage in World of Warcraft. It was the same when I tried the mage stuff out in Mistlands. Out of eitr - oshit-here-come-the-seekers-eeeek aaaand the mage stuff was promoted to decorations...

On another note - just wondering if I'm the oddball here - how many out there actively go after the half grown beech saplings in Meadows before cutting down actual trees? I tend to only ever cut down a few grown trees, while the meadows near my base tend to resemble a well-kept park after a while, cleared of underbrush, stubs and fallen logs. It has the benefit of not requiring you to cut up logs - or indeed pose a threat to your life when cutting it. Takes only a little more time and there's so much of these saplings around that they pretty much never run out. Between that and a tree farm, nearly all my meadows are still pristine 1,600 days into this world...

Most of all, I simply don't like the look of deforestation that comes from chopping down every damn tree in sight.

[frigid gust]

I like leaving the saplings, they make it look more natural. I can replant beech relatively randomly and make it look natural, I can't replant those, or the bushes. I only clear them if I want the area clear/near a base, whatever.

[shy marlin]

Me personally I think Valheim would look better if there were randomly generated huge walmart parking lots in the meadows

😍

[heady parcel]

Haha that's easy to arrange though, the powa of the Hoe - and grausten has that flat, featureless concrete look!

[steel mica]

Curious

does a higher quality pufferfish apply a strong poison effect?

[heady parcel]

A little bonus of removing the saplings is that you can see nightspawn baddies coming from far away even with most of the trees still in place. Nighstpawned fuling gangs in Black Forest are a true menace, they blend in so well with the surroundings you don't realise they're there before a spear hits you in the face. They don't even giggle, sneaky buggers.

[shy marlin]

I want to say no

[steel mica]

Wdym you want to say no 😭

[shy marlin]

90% sure the answer is no

[steel mica]

😭

[frigid gust]

I'm 100% sure 😉

[heady parcel]

Wiki says pufferfish are found offshore in Mistlands, but I find they're pretty much all over Ocean, or am I imagining things? Maybe mostly Ocean in the Mistlands range from the map center?

[nocturne wolf]

I think they spawn in both biomes

[steel mica]

You can find them in the ocean biome sometimes but not as much as coral cods

[tacit crystal]

Can confirm, no. Quality doesn't matter.

[shy marlin]

Is the size relevant?

Like 1 star vs 5 star

Might mean higher dps uptime for the larger 5 star

[tacit crystal]

All pufferfish deal the same amount of poison damage.

[shy marlin]

yes, but a larger pufferfish would mean larger hit detection, so if an enemy moves around or what not, I'm just curious if 5 star would theoretically be better because it would get more hits in overall due to increased size

[wooden tapir]

i think it still wouldnt be worth it, the time investment it would take to find multiple 5 rank puffers would be crazy

[shy marlin]

yea for sure, i'm just curious about the fact

[wooden tapir]

some fish are weirdly misleading, ill see them and be like " wow that fish is huge! "
then its just rank 2 or 3

[frigid gust]

Notably, they need Misty bait, like the Anglerfish, which I think is why they are classified as Mistlands fish even though they can appear in the ocean.

[steel mica]

Yep

[wooden tapir]

like a rank 3 tetra looks massive in the small pond that is in the cave

[steel mica]

Though Irongate might change the pufferfish to take heavy bait aswell

[tacit crystal]

It's good that they use misty bait IMO, since they are easier to craft than heavy because how rare the Serpent trophies can be.

[frigid gust]

That'd be what, 3 fish that require heavy bait? That seems like a lot, especially in light of the serpent trophy issue.

[steel mica]

Oh yeah that too, having another option to fish them is nice aswell

pufferfish has some uses, particularly in making farms

[frigid gust]

I'm just happy I've got a rank 3 Coral Cod on my wall in this playthrough and I haven't crafted heavy bait yet 😛

[steel mica]

My boi just yeeted himself in the boat like a free gift

[frigid gust]

It was actually on shore, I've got a nice peninsula by my 3-stone-pillar base that they regularly beach themselves on.

[steel mica]

As much as I want to get the fishing hat I dont wanna go to the deep north just to get a northen salmon

It'll load it in the deep north map

[frigid gust]

Yeah. I've done it in another world, but I'm not doing it on this one.

[steel mica]

which I dont want

Does having higher crossbow skill increase its reload speed?

[valid python]

I did it on the far left so only a small portion is loaded. I' personally curious if it will make Minecraft style chunk borders XD

Tho with Ashland's I'm actually pretty sure it erased and re-generated them so you can't have modern ashlands connected to other biomes even if you geberate a land connection in an older version then update back, the land would re-sever. (I think)

[shy marlin]

yes

Not near as much as bow skill tho

[severe yew]

For science?

[steel mica]

That answers it

No clue bc I dont even have that weapon/staff

[pliant hatch]

Summoned trolls are hostile to everything. That includes you.

I dunno. I've never used it, only see others using it. But I assume it works similar to the Deadraisor. Which would mean, yes.

The wiki most likely got more info on that subject.

[tacit crystal]

Upgrading only increases durability, but no else perks.

2 trolls can be summoned at the same time.

They drop in front of you, so you can run back a bit after casting.

They are useful.

[wooden tapir]

i recommend carrying an ice staff with you for troll extermination after they deal with the hoards

[frigid gust]

I think they've done most of the terraforming for the Deep North that they intend... with the Ashlands you used to be able to have land bridges, which is why they did the terrain regeneration. You'll probably just have an area of the current content locked in where you've explored, like what happened to the old Mistlands areas back in the day.

[valid python]

It'll be cool. Maybe even advantageous is something useful spawns in a completely unobstructed area.

[frigid gust]

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it 😉 Just predicting what is likely based on what's happened so far in the game, and knowing they did Deep North and Ashlands terrain gen changes at the same time.

[analog pine]

I wonder what the point of dverger stakewalls are? They seem entirely too expensive, ashwood stakes are better & more compact, and they require a black forge to repair lest they degrade to nothing.

[shy marlin]

Yea they're giga weird

[valid python]

So you know how you get the summon text when you summon a boss? Like 'The Queen wants it all' and 'The Elder Awakens' I like to imagine when something is attacking my base they get 'The bees are not happy' just before I sprint at them.

[frigid gust]

You can make dvergr stakewalls before you get ashwood though, yeah? But in general I find there's no real use for the dvergr stakes unless you just like the look, they do the same damage as the regular stakes with much less renewable materials.

They do more knockback and have more durability, but I don't think it's quite enough to make them worthwhile

[pliant hatch]

"The bees are not happy" sounds more like something that should pop up the moment your hives are under attack.
Followed by "The bees are furious and charge!" when the hive is under attack for too long.

[analog pine]

Black metal is everywhere in the plains. I'm always swimming in it. But...why would I plop a black forge down just to build and maintain them repeatedly when I can use a workbench to use compact ashwood instead?

[frigid gust]

I mean... they're meant to be placed around bases, not just randomly? Also, dvergr stakes require iron and yggdrasil wood, not blackmetal... hence the non renewable comment I made. I guess I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? Ashwood stakes are superior, but you don't get access to them until you get to the Ashlands... before then, there's a small niche for the dvergr stakes, or if you like the look of them

[analog pine]

Oh, I could have sworn it was black metal.

Random thought. Isn't consuming Sausages technically cannibalism?

[severe yew]

Yes

[severe yew]

Kinda makes you question ||why there's sausages in the infested mines.||

Hello

[analog pine]

Because ||it's not cannibalism if the dverger eat humans.||

[severe yew]

I wasn't saying it was, but ||it still has some implications.||

[valid python]

I'd chalk it up to Scale Theory. In-universe other creatures probably have entrails. But gameplay wise sausage is too powerful to have in medows/black forest.

Although if only humans have them, hmm they exist in the fist caves so you could presume the cultists ate captives, and I think they exist in the Morgen caves, so if only humans have them as we the player know them, that has grusome implications for thoes two dungeons.

[spring wolf]

Do the devs ever plan on adding achievements

[merry pebble]

Yep, they are planned for 1.0 🙂

[spring wolf]

W

Is that when the add the deep north

[merry pebble]

Indeed, Deep North and 1.0 will be one update

[spring wolf]

Awesome

[steel mica]

I just found myself my base plains boarding the mistlands

4 roots

all in close proximity

certainly making a base there

[merry pebble]

Very nice! 😄

[steel mica]

I'll show the screen shot in a sec

just gotta clear the area of mist

Having a plains base boarding a mistland area with 4 roots is so nice because less travel time to each farm

all farms are in one portal destination

[scenic igloo]

are ashalnds everywhere or specifc direction

[merry pebble]

Only in south-most part of the world

#screenshots message @heady parcel Yeah thats how all spawns are generated 🙂 they have a "star" of meadows in the middle so other biomes around (mostly BF) will protrude like that

[steel mica]

Think of the ashlands as like hell

its down below

[scenic igloo]

ahhh

cause i just started at the top, goin up lmao

[merry pebble]

In the north of the map is Deep north 😉

[steel mica]

Thats the deep north

Asatru is it just me or grausten structure give so much grausten

[merry pebble]

They also cost quite a bit 😄

[steel mica]

The bigger ones yep

[scenic igloo]

the queen was suprisingly easy wtf

[merry pebble]

You used magic?

[steel mica]

I mean you are playing mods so you might have used unbalanced weapons

[scenic igloo]

nah

[scenic igloo]

nah, not that either

[steel mica]

The queen is difficult even with magic or melee

[vocal rivet]

Not particularly true.

[merry pebble]

Magic is way easier than melee from my experience, but i still preffer melee 🙂

[scenic igloo]

the mod we have is practicly a lil expansion of vanilla but also makes it alot harder

[merry pebble]

Its a mod, nothing to do with vanilla 🙂

[scenic igloo]

^ he mentioned it not mre

[vocal rivet]

You're blaming him for you using mods?

[scenic igloo]

all i said that the queen was easy

then yall started bringing up that i play a modded session and using unballanced weapons

[vocal rivet]

Well, just Black.

[severe yew]

I missed the queen fight with the group I've played with😢 But they also said it was really quick and easy. No mods and on normal difficulty.

[merry pebble]

Oh in group it really can be quite quick and easy 🙂

[scenic igloo]

we had 3 melee and 1 mage

[merry pebble]

Would explain why you called it easy 🙂
-# And tbh you might have just said that instead of acusing us of stuff 😄

[severe yew]

I think the group went in with either 1 mage, 1 ranged and 1 melee or 1 mage and 2 melee.

[wintry valve]

I find the queen to be absolute bullshit in term of difficulty and its the only boss I never beat "legit"

[scenic igloo]

what did i accuse yall of?

[wintry valve]

defamation and jaywalking

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message

[wintry valve]

I dunno, whats going on?

[severe yew]

I don't know either.

[scenic igloo]

i didnt bring up modded tho, the chat did

[wintry valve]

chat, is this real?

[analog pine]

I wonder how tiny mosquitoes can deal so much damage to tamed lox?

[steel mica]

now knowing it yeah my bad

[merry pebble]

She is not that bad 🙂 can be a long fight if you get unlucky with her burrowing away tho

[wintry valve]

She is as bad as I experienced her

[merry pebble]

They are called DEATHsquitos for a reason 😄

[wintry valve]

I find Fader way better than the queen. At least he gives me time to react and a mistake isnt instant megadeath to me

[analog pine]

I still remember my first queen kill in my 3-man round. While the two warriors were out there dealing with the bulk of it, I was cowering at the entrance sending skeletts and making blood shields, occasionally coming out to throw a fireball here & there.

[nocturne wolf]

Enemy damage is balanced around the armor a player will be wearing, and other enemies can't wear armor.

[analog pine]

It's more of how silly it seems, really.

[wintry valve]

I feel like some enemies should have armor tho

loxes have thick fur, and likely thicc skin

And stuff like, say, charred warriors have literal armor on

[nocturne wolf]

That would make knives and other low damage per hit weapons/attacks so much worse with how armor works in Valheim

[wintry valve]

That is true.

[nocturne wolf]

And it means the numbers aren't as big when we hit something

[wintry valve]

Then again theres a way to adjust that, and it introduces new dynamics.

[analog pine]

In general, our steeds could use some fancy armor to keep them around.

But for me, I could use just one damn queen vegvisir. So few mines found, and none of them have had one.

[placid dust]

Mad respect to the people that managed to find a 2 star askvin this search is crazy hard

shit visibility at night in the ashlands doesnt help

ive found my share of 2 star morgens and 1 star askvins for days

[heady parcel]

I won't even bother, I'm not going outdoors in Ashlands at night, <bleep> that. One star is quite sufficient for my needs...

[placid dust]

ik

but they are puuurplee

[heady parcel]

Hehe

[placid dust]

if i get one all the slaps ive gotten from morgens will be kinda worth

[pure atlas]

all these years and we still cant craft directly out of storage without a mod?

[severe yew]

Call me crazy, but I like getting into a melee with a morgen.

[heady parcel]

Just walked too far looking for fortresses, realised too late that it was about to be night, on my way back I run into two one-star asksvin just as a screeching thing decends from the sky. Good thing I had ratatosk tonic and still use the asksvin suit. Runnnn runnnn forrest!

[steel mica]

Sounds like you encountered the big bad bird

If I saw that 2** asksvin I would have dropped what I was doing and would try capturing that asksvin

[vocal rivet]

Because the devs don't want us to, which is fine by me.

[heady parcel]

I hate them, if they at least dropped something useful. Got like 50 feathers already and as far as I know I'll only ever need about 12...

[pure atlas]

What is the "benefit" or additional enjoyment theyre aiming for with it I wonder.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think there is one. It's just how they want their game.

[heady parcel]

They have a vision for what the game is supposed to be, that you don't share it 100% does not make it right or wrong, it's just the way it is.

[pure atlas]

I never said it was wrong, Just curious why is all. Feels kinda shitty tbh , still top teir game

[wintry valve]

I got timed out for something something and im not sure which word it was >:

and I dont want to try them out

[late jay]

Just turn off build cost if it bothers you imo

[heady parcel]

In a practical sense, making systems like that means additional programming to read what is in storage nearby etc etc and for a feature that is not really necessary it is programming better spent on more interesting things.

[late jay]

Good point

[steel mica]

Did you try making your text bigger?

[vocal rivet]

Again, it's a design decision not a programming issue.

[heady parcel]

A modder only needs to take whatever they're trying to do into account, the devs need to keep the entire game working and avoid breaking stuff when adding other stuff.

[wintry valve]

no, I just said a zoomer word and the word for not wearing armor. Please dont try them words. It upsets the bots.

[late jay]

[steel mica]

[heady parcel]

Indeed, just saying not adding that kinda QoL has side benefits 🙂

[valid python]

Rafts exist for the serenity of fishing off shore in medows

[heady parcel]

And for those sorry souls who get starter islands without Black Forest...

[vocal rivet]

Thankfully quite rare.

[steel mica]

You can make ladder docks for them aswell

[heady parcel]

I use rafts as ferryboats where I don't want to build bridges since I need to sail through

[steel mica]

They can fit in a 4x4 square meter area

[vocal rivet]

They can fit in a chest too

[heady parcel]

Just a bit annoyed that the damn raft will capsize if I trying getting a fully loaded cart on board

[pure atlas]

Creative mode takes most the fun out of the game. Just feels a bit dated is all. Ill survive , was just curious if theyve mentioned it.

[merry pebble]

Amateur, you need to make enough rafts in a row to walk across the body of water 😤
-# Sorry for name calling, i dont mean it ofc 😄

[vocal rivet]

Dated? I'll bite. Why?

[vocal rivet]

Crafting from containers is the slippery slope to automation which takes ALL the fun out of the game.

[frigid gust]

You should see my current world... the stones are on a very small island you can barely swim to a main shore from, only if you raise your swimming ability a bit and get some food going 😛

[pure atlas]

Is it a slipper slope? Ive not seen that happen it other games. Enshrouded , V rising, Once Human , Dune all do it. All games that copied the Valheim formula imo

[vocal rivet]

Lol, copied the Valheim formula. That's...hilarious.

[steel mica]

A raft cant fit in a damn chest 😭

[pure atlas]

How so?

[steel mica]

Not even odin would approve

[vocal rivet]

Of course it can.

Where do you store YOUR boats?

[steel mica]

IM TALKING ABOUT THE RAFT, NOT THE 3 OTHER LARGE BOATS

[vocal rivet]

Easy on the caps there fella.

[steel mica]

Yes I put my mats for boats in my chest

[severe yew]

At a dock.

[heady parcel]

Ugh. I have gained more confidence to roam around Ashlands. It also means I have come closer to getting slaughtered a lot more than before, who would have thought taking more risks meant dying more...?

[steel mica]

Im just talking about the raft specifically bc it can fit in a 4x4 area of space so you can put it in your dock so its a make shift ladder

underneath the structure of your dock

[steel mica]

Get asksvins asap

[sour furnace]

are you supposed to wall off your dvergr extractors or just stick em in?

[heady parcel]

I have a whole herd of them. Not using them to ride anymore though, they just run off and get killed to leave me stranded

[steel mica]

Enemies wont attack em unlike other certain buildables

so its safe to keep them in the open

though just keep a workbench nearby incase it gets broken by a gjall or seeker soldier whilst your getting it

the mats might despawn

[sour furnace]

that's very weird, i'm asking bc one day my extractors just disappeared

[steel mica]

Where you like in the area of the extractors?

[heady parcel]

Anything throwing aoe damage around might be responsible. Gjall, seeker soldiers, dvergr mages... A gjall vs dvergr fight nearby could level a whole base if you're unlucky.

[steel mica]

Yeah that

[sour furnace]

nah, i had a portal a 2 min run away and a workbench around, tho

[steel mica]

Thats why you should have a workbench safe from enemies so that if the extractors did get destroyed the mats atleast wont despawn

[late jay]

Fair

[valid python]

Cooking skill is kind of a shadow buff to oven foods since you have 2 chances for extra to proc ❤️

[wintry valve]

putting shadow buff and cooking in the same sentence is kind of wild

[valid python]

Speaking of cooking I did some late game rearranging of my cooking building, 4 or five fewer wood cookers and 1 more iron cooker.

[light moat]

OP cooking offensive build

[steel mica]

Pov: you're the teams main cook

[quasi latch]

Venison, ham, and honey all the way if they forced me into that spot

[steel mica]

Its not that hard, plus you're getting alot of praise, because farming takes alot of time especially when its multiplayer

takes about 2-3 days ingame for your crops to fully grow

[frigid gust]

Farming skill is nice too, getting extra harvest boosts.

[analog pine]

Oh, how I wish there was a more compact version of the Drakkar. Love the thing's high health, but damn, it is fat.

[pliant hatch]

Yup. The Drakar is the whale among the ships, the Longboat is the shark and the Karve is the dolphin.

[light moat]

The raft is like a carp

[timber portal]

Valheim can I use your music for a video I made

[lapis rock]

there's no reason to use the drakkar once you've used it to get to the ashlands

[light moat]

It’s pretty cumbersome. I don’t think it was ever envisioned to replace the longship anyways. It has a niche, and it fills it well.

[lapis rock]

i used it for one 5 minute boat ride to the ashlands and it's been sitting there at the shore ever since, kinda sad imo

[light moat]

If I’m being nit picky, I wish there was something in place that kinda made the player sail back to their base and then give access to stone portals? I think that could’ve been super interesting 🤔

But I don’t mind the Drakkar. It does its thing, then that’s that.

[heady parcel]

It's okay that the Drakkar is sluggish to turn, since it is the biggest boat, but just HOW slowly it turns is simply ridiculous. I have steered ships over 300 meters long that were more maneuverable. A relatively small sailing vessel has no business being sluggish like a supertanker. I understand they want the cargo capacity to come with a drawback, but sheesh it is way overdone.

[severe yew]

It would turn faster if it had a keel rudder… but Vikings didn’t have those so…

[heady parcel]

That's actually one thing I would eventually consider changing with mods.

[heady parcel]

Even with a steering oar you'll turn a moderately sized ship way faster than the drakkar. Same steering oar on the longship and the Drakkar is not THAT much bigger. Besides, keel rudders aren't that superior before you have propeller water streaming over them.

[severe yew]

Moving or at rest?

[heady parcel]

Moving. It is fairly accurate with the ship dead in the water. I would not want to try and paddle a Drakkar irl with the steering oar, gods. There's a word for that but I forgot it, dang.

But changing direction on a small vessel is easier with oars, a keel rudder needs movement through the water.

[severe yew]

If moving then yes a keel rudder would be a lot better because on the drakkar you’re steering from an elevated position, since you’re farther from the water it will take more energy to control the rudder. Also the drakkar is covered in compressed rock and don’t get me started on the sail.

[severe yew]

Aye, especially with a team of oarsmen, but all we have is one paddle.

[heady parcel]

Hehe yeah- and I'm okay with it being slow to turn, but sheesh, effectively turning the top tier ship into a one use disposable landing craft is a wee bit too much.

[severe yew]

Needs a ram for going through the spires.

Or a ballista on the front.

[heady parcel]

That would be awesome

[errant knoll]

Eh, I'd far rather travel with a drakkar in a thunderstorm than a viking longship.

I don't think it's possible for the Drakkar to outright capsize just from bad weather. I've definitely had that happen in a viking longship though, and I know the Karve can definitely capsize

Sure it's big and kinda unwieldy, but with some practice maneuvering it it's not that bad.

[shy marlin]

Stone portal was a mistake

[pliant hatch]

Nah. It just became useless with the modifier.

[pliant hatch]

In what way?
By definition of looks, the enemies, the bosses, the amount of combat required, the weapons and / or armor you unlock?

There are many ways to consider a biome worse.

When it comes to that they're all equal to me. Meadows is fun as a new character because you need to adapt to the fact that you're not that powerful anymore; Ashlands is fun because it's a challenge.

Each biome has a slight "lesson" which will help you in the next biome.
For the meadows that's facing the raids. While the Eikthyr raid doesn't sound challenging - it's mostly boars, necks and greylings after all - the fact you have to face multiple opponents at once is a challenge one won't expect in a tutorial area.
The Black Forrest teaches that you will need patience to get all the required materials, it'll teach you there are bigger monsters as you thought out there and it'll teach you that you will have to make a choice which weapons and armor to use.
The swamp teaches us that it isn't always good weather and that the weather is having a negative effect on one of the most important aspects of your game. It also teaches us about having to deal with more damage types as just being hit by something.
The mountains teach us that we aren't safe anywhere. Not on our base, not while exploring.
The plains teach us to be vigilant, but also not to rely on sight alone. Otherwise the last thing you hear is "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt"......
The Mistlands teach us that visibility isn't everything. Sometimes you need to rely on other senses to survive, just like the plains. But it also teaches us new methods to fight things.
The Ashlands teaches us about war and how hard things will be when you are thrown into it.

Each of these are fun to discover, fun to deal with and fun to overcome the handicap they are, eventually resulting in another boss being brought down and one more trophy being hung at the sacrificial stones.

[severe yew]

That is very well said.

[short plank]

This is such a fun game. Im just kind of wrapping up an 800 day playthrough. Any other fun twists on the game, something like speedrunning. not sure im willing to do hardcore/no portals

[quasi latch]

I'd say the meadows is too short to teach raids. Meadows teaches fundamentals and collector's anxiety

[wooden tapir]

Go fishing and get a cool hat

[calm marten]

Comes down to personal preference, but I really hate the lack of visibility in the Mistlands, and the Ashlands are unrelenting in terms of enemy spawns.
TLDR: Most stuff is pretty easy until Mistlands, and it's all downhill from there imo

[wooden tapir]

Or just simply start again (: always fun to play through again

[short plank]

got the fishing hat and played through the game four or five times. I might go make some fishing ponds

[calm marten]

There's always mods of course. You can do a lot with them to expand the available content and rebalance the game.

[wooden tapir]

Oh fair, thought it was ur first 800 day playthrough

[wooden tapir]

One of my goals is to make every armor and weapon max level, and to catch the complete collection of fish ( all tiers 1-5 of every fish)

That should keep me quite busy for a while

[calm marten]

I too dream of having a completed armory and bestiary on display someday

[short plank]

i want to try leveling some weapon types I dont normally use. I loved the fists/fenring set but they were only really in one tier

[wooden tapir]

Yea last playthrough I collected every trophy, but I’m working on a forever world that I want to do the entire thing, collect everything

Oh yea you could go down that leveling route, level all skills to 100

That should take some time

Shoot an ice golem for 12 hours with a frost staff

[steel mica]

The war truly never ends in the ashlands

Once a viking has entered the battlefield more keep coming

till you get overwhelmed

[errant knoll]

Subjective - I would say that the Swamp is by far the least fun Biome, with Ashlands being the second worst (Unlike swamp, I enjoy Ashlands sometimes. I don't think I've ever found the swamp experience enjoyable).

Major difference between them is that the Ashlands gives you fun tools to play with. The swamp doesn't, it's just what you've already had but better, and no way at all to make the rain easier other than stamina management. And while thats a lesson you learn, I don't think there's anything particularly fun about it, nor does it make the swamp more enjoyable once you've "learnt" it

The root stuff is just varying levels of modifiers to your character - strong, but not in the "fun" way like e.g. Fenris gear

[steel mica]

It also kinda teaches you overpreparation

The swamp is unforgiving to unprepared players going all willy nilly

[analog pine]

Ashlands is pure hell, which is oddly fitting. I've legit never gotten a single minute when I'm not under attack by 5+ mobs at once, and more spawn WHILE I'm killing them. I can't even run from them because they refuse to break aggro and don't care about the lava.

[rain flare]

Welcome to musbelheim- lands of fire, death, death, death, death, and lotsa more death 😅

[analog pine]

Been there, struggled through that, got the t-shirt and was swimming in gems.

[rain flare]

Well, it is the end game
Can’t give you OP magic for nothing 😂

[analog pine]

The first time was in a duo/trio. This time, it's 95% solo. I have to make my own friends with a magic 4-star skull.

[rain flare]

Glad you swam in the gems and not the lava 😅

Don’t try the bubble bath - it’s a death trap 🤣

[analog pine]

Indeed. It's nice and hot. A little too hot.

[steel mica]

Seeing the fulings and asksvin fight to the death is so hilarious to me

[quasi latch]

No, literally, you can die to a hot tub in Ashlands

[steel mica]

seeing the asksvins just lauching themselves in the air just make me burst out laughing

[analog pine]

I feel kinda bad about killing that 2-star asksvin. I had the materials to tame it, but nothing to trap it with.

[zinc valley]

Going to find the Queen boss, any tips before I die 48 times?

[charred rune]

Besides the obvious - upgrading gear and bringing your best food - you could also have some poison resi mead and equip a Root Harnesk.

[wintry valve]

try not to die 49 times

[nocturne wolf]

Lightfoot mead, tonic of ratatosk and feather cape will all help because you need to move around much more than with previous bosses

[steel mica]

try not to die 1

[rain flare]

You are going to find her right?
Not fight her?

If you are still looking then you’ll need to explore infested mines for a
Vegvisir

They normally spawn in the corners or big open rooms

That, or just keep an eye out for 3 tall spires next to each other
That’s normally a good indication of either a dungeon or the boss room being there

[zinc valley]

Me and my friend just wiped out an infested mine and found her location, currently got the carapace armour on us with the buckler and mist sword etc, currently living off honey, cloud berries and sausages 😅 looks like I gotta upgrade the food cause that mine was ridiculous

[merry pebble]

Oooof, yeah you should upgrade the food asap 😄

[zinc valley]

Man that's too many enemies in one mine, absolute admin abuse that was 🤣

[rain flare]

You are eating….
Honey….
In mistlands……….

Dude, you have a death wish 🤣

[zinc valley]

20 bee hives running the squad hahahaha

[merry pebble]

You should have chickens and mushroom farm at the very least 😄

[zinc valley]

I better get my green thumb out hahaha

[rain flare]

Like others have already said, bring poison resistance and the feather cape to that fight

Those are the bare essentials

[zinc valley]

Fighting long battles is super risky

[rain flare]

Other than that it’s really just whatever you prefer

[zinc valley]

Does moder ability count?

[rain flare]

Do any of you use magic…?
Moder is a no no man 🙈

[tacit crystal]

Gotta ask: have you found seeds for carrots, turnips, onions during the earlier biomes?

[zinc valley]

You can use magic?!

[rain flare]

🤦

[zinc valley]

Bro I've been on hard mode this whole time?!

[rain flare]

Yes.
Yes you have 😂

Make a galder table and play around with some of those new toys

[zinc valley]

I've been thru so much 😭

[tacit crystal]

You have proper carrot, turnip and onion farms in your base, right? RIGHT?

[zinc valley]

Just the 20 bee hives my man

[merry pebble]

You HAVE been playing it on hard mode then xD

[tacit crystal]

I repeat my question: HAVE you found any seeds for carrots, turnips and onions??

[zinc valley]

I got ancient seeds 😂

[merry pebble]

Nope, cant plant those 😄

[zinc valley]

Nah like 4 turnip seeds round here somewhere

[tacit crystal]

Okay, I assume nope...

Yeah, you've played hard mode since black forest.

[zinc valley]

How to do made a farm or garden? hahah just bust out the hoe and start slapping the earth?

[tacit crystal]

At least you don't need a trip to swamp.

[tacit crystal]

Cultivator, made of bronze and corewood.

Available since black forest phase.

[marsh oxide]

Huh?

[zinc valley]

Thanks @tacit crystal

[tacit crystal]

You probably are missing one cauldron upgrade since it needs both carrots and turnips to craft.
Take some time now to properly farm some ingredients for better foods. If you have no carrot or onion seeds, you can find them in black forest (pickable white flowers) and in mountain (inside chests in ruins/cottages around).

[zinc valley]

Aw sweet as, how far apart can you plant stuff?

[keen trench]

nice, if you found turnips seeds the rest is downhill, it's tipically a tricky resource to get in early game
-# (carrot ones are way more common due to terrain gen / biome difficulty)

[tacit crystal]

Around 1m apart from each other should be enough.

[keen trench]

carrots turnips and onions need to be 1 meter away from anything to grow (other crops, building structures, rocks, bushes etc), and need an open sky

[zinc valley]

There goes my green house idea haha

Thanks

[steel mica]

Seems like you guys are lacking a chief

[tacit crystal]

Also, if you have found barley it requires being planted in Plains. So you probably need to set a farm with a portal to some spot.

[zinc valley]

Good lookin out man 👍

[tacit crystal]

Mushrooms found in Mistlands (magecaps, jotun puffs) also require being planted in Mistlands only.

And magecaps require more space from each other.

[keen trench]

yup, learned it the hard way, wiki says 1,6m

[rain flare]

Duuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

[steel mica]

Meadows food diet

[rain flare]

Trolls

Trolls and wildstave

[rain flare]

Man is trying to make his life difficult 😂😅

[steel mica]

fr

I question how they got in the mistland in the first place

with that diet

[tacit crystal]

Honey, cloudberries, sausages. #valheim-chat message

[rain flare]

I know right??? 🤣
This man’s been making Valheim so insanely difficult it’s like he’s trying to beat Scales at his own game 😅

[rain flare]

It’s still so bad… 😂
Cloud berries and honey last 15 minutes each! 😭

[steel mica]

Omg im so happy I found this area of mistlands

It is incredibly open

like way too open for a small base

[tacit crystal]

At least you can find sausages in Infested mines!

[keen trench]

yummy, entrail coldcuts abandoned from a long time in a bug infested cave

[tacit crystal]

Cause of deaths usually?

[steel mica]

Is there a command to remove like the mist in the mistlands or atleast be able to see

through it

Because I wanna take a look of this valley

[tacit crystal]

Wisp torches in a queue.

[steel mica]

in a queue?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, you know, those where you wait at the cashier when shopping groceries?

[steel mica]

?

my face when confuse

[tacit crystal]

Putting them torches in line.

So you can see through mist.

[steel mica]

Theres like wisp torches everywhere in this valley

but I wanna take a screenshot of it from the top

clear view

[rain flare]

Drink more wine

[nocturne wolf]

Barley wine is the strongest fire resistance you can get, it’s the same as fenris armor or yagluth power.

[tacit crystal]

There are not a lot of mobs that deal fire damage, so learning their attack patterns can help with that.
Also, if you play as mage you want to use Protection staff.

Vibing my way through Ashlands

It's placeholder item to whatever we need for next upcoming biome.

There is no ETA for that yet.

There is one smaller update upcoming too before Deep North update, but no ETA for that yet either. But probably much closer than the last biome.

[nocturne wolf]

Fader

[rain flare]

Difficult to say 😂
I love the Bonemass theme so I do be vibes in the swamp

But the queen is so cool I don’t now which one to pick

Moder is pretty cool too

***** Yagluth in particular 😂

I really don’t like that man 😅

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr is barely a boss, trolls are stronger

[near saddle]

fuling berserkers no longer mine the ground?

[merry pebble]

They never did

[near saddle]

huh, or at least rocks?

[merry pebble]

Rocks they could

[near saddle]

ah, they don't seem to be doing that now

[merry pebble]

They do the same tier of pickaxe dmg as iron pickaxe, so they should still mine rocks

[rain flare]

You aren’t using them right if they are killing you my guy 😂
Throw them at the enemy not at your feet! 😅

Mmmmm…..
Also, fire resistance is kinda useless when dealing with certain fader attacks

That one he does with spikes coming out of the ground is like lava, so you will die near instantly if you stand in it 😭

[tacit crystal]

It's no waste since HP is renevable resource.

[rain flare]

Yeah.
But they keep the dragon distracted as he likes to slap them or summon attacks to hit them instead of you

…….
You were using the bubble shield yes? 👀

That last part sounds very upsetting
He normally targets your summons…

Unless you are standing closer to him than they are

Probably

When I played he only targeted my summons and I could bomb him into oblivion with my vines

[merry pebble]

Nah, nothing was changed recently

[rain flare]

The queen does the same with my skellies

1-2 months ago at most

I’m gonna test it

Well done man! 🤩🥰

[merry pebble]

Last patch was April 1st, and it would most likely be mentioned if there were any changes to boss AI 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Ah yeah, joke patch that turned out to be a real one!

[candid basalt]

I love slow sailing past fuling villages and using the ember staff to naval bombard the village into oblivion

[shy marlin]

[heady parcel]

I'd love to do that with 5-6 players all raining fiery death upon the little buggers

[steel mica]

Its funnier to just give the fulings a false sense of winning and bait them into your army of asksvins

note: the fulings they didnt survive

4 - 5 asksvins can take out a large fuling camp all by themselves

a single asksvin can handle 4 fulings

an army if asksvin is overkill

[candid basalt]

Overkill is the name of my Viking metal band .. of asksvins

[dusty grove]

Whats the earliest point that I can get sorcery weapons?

[simple pecan]

whats the limit of map markers if there is one I forgot

[light moat]

Mistlands, biome 6

[light moat]

I don’t think there is one, but having too many can lead to performance issues 🤔

[simple pecan]

How many would you say is too many 🤨

[dusty grove]

💔

[simple pecan]

ok wow

theres a whole ONE swamp dungeon on my starter island

game was feeling generous I guess

[nocturne wolf]

You’re lucky to have a swamp there

[simple pecan]

I have 2

well technically 3 the starter island is REALLY big on this one

haldor and hildir spawn on the starter island and bog witch is like a tiny distance

[errant knoll]

Even with minions attacking the boss in Ashlands I was also targetted for certain attacks like the Fissure, which seemed to target all of faders enemies within range

[nocturne wolf]

It would be too easy if they didn’t

[errant knoll]

As a slight chime into a conversation I saw earlier

where someone was saying he only focused the minions

[errant knoll]

I agree but saw conversations earlier saying that wasn't happening or something, was just verifying that it was for me 😛

[sour furnace]

what is the point of the draught of vanadinir? i tried to use it to cross nearby islands, but It's just not enough to keep you alive for most swims, even with ashlands food

[shy marlin]

yea it's pretty useless

it's funny how they're so against bloat but then add stuff like that lol

[undone hedge]

To make it worth it, it would need to be 4-5 mins of swim time minimum per potion.

[tacit crystal]

It was quite good when it was 80% swim stamina reduction during PTB, now it is okayish.

[shy marlin]

ye

but like, when are you ever going to be using this pot

Also funny they nerf the swim stam reduction but not speed mead or berserker mead

[wintry valve]

I mean, those are unrelated

[shy marlin]

not rlly, they're all potions and all released in bog witch update

[wooden tapir]

valheim

[wintry valve]

Yeah but they do completely different things

[tacit crystal]

It's good for adventuring around and swimming across bit further gap of water so you don't need to carry Karve mats. With FFS or HSS foods you don't usually need stamina mead.

[shy marlin]

Would love to see a scenario where it plays out

[wintry valve]

What you are suggesting is that if they find something wrong with an item, they then have to change everything that somehow are related to that item in any way.

[tacit crystal]

I was adventuring around my world when testing it.

[wooden tapir]

you cant beat valheim

[shy marlin]

Not suggesting anything, I just found it funny how they're concerned with one things but other outliers they're not

And considering that swim stam reduction is pretty minor vs potions that effect core elements of combat

[tacit crystal]

If weakness and resistance cancelled themselves instead of resistance overriding weakness the berserkir mead would seem more like intented and not too OP when using them with Bonemass power I think.

[wooden tapir]

@hushed marlin well it depends what you liked about valheim, no other games are like valheim exactly but depending on what part(s) you enjoyed then maybe you could get better recommendations

[wintry valve]

for spells I know a game, but it doesnt do the rest

Noita

[wooden tapir]

enshrouded, conan exiles are the ones that come to mind

[tacit crystal]

Psst, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 would be better place to discuss other games.

[wooden tapir]

[dusty grove]

My friend made troll hit birch tree to get finewood and a stupid guy (me) made a tankard instead of finewood bow

And we don't even have mead or ale

Btw is alestorm qualified to listen to while playing valheim?

[robust delta]

it's all about investing 4 the future

[merry pebble]

Tankard is frankly quite bad investment 😄 its really usefull only for decoration

[tacit crystal]

Soon you will.

[shy marlin]

Still think it would be cool if tankards would allow you to drink mead faster

[merry pebble]

Well, faster than almost instant... There is an animation i guess, but that one is quite fast

And effect gets applied instantly

[tacit crystal]

Wield a shield in other hand, parry your enemy and drink for a good parry.

[nocturne wolf]

Throw mead onto enemies to make them drunk

[spring wolf]

are there any weapons that are strong towards stone golems

[shy marlin]

Iron mace

[spring wolf]

thanks

[tacit crystal]

Almost like drunken mastery monk.

[near furnace]

Pickaxes

[spring wolf]

Really

[silk isle]

anyone wnna hang ?

[shy marlin]

No pickaxes are much slower than iron mace

[merry pebble]

Sorry, i still plan to cling on life for a bit 😄

[silk isle]

dayum....ok...
i meant like hang out...in Valheim...

holy sh* bro....

i mean great friggin humor but damn..

that hit me like a metric ton of bricks

[merry pebble]

-# yeah i know 😄

You might want to look in or make a post in #1024264966712340510 😄

[silk isle]

i already have a post open....no Reponses...
plus no communities that i can find that aren't modded or newbie friendly (that aren't like totally narcissistic etc)

[merry pebble]

Just give it some more time 🙂 lots of players are not in same timezones and it can take even few days untill you get responses

[spring wolf]

He’s a dev tho I gotta believe him

[shy marlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr0Tgs0FBAo

If you don't wanna watch just skip to 3:21 for the full breakdown

[merry pebble]

The question was "are there any weapons that are strong towards stone golems" 🙂 For which "pickaxes" is 100% correct answer since they are weak to pickaxe dmg. However even then it is true that you can kill golems with iron mace + buckler faster than with pickaxe.

[shy marlin]

Pickaxes are not a strong weapon tho

They cost too much stamina, and they're slow, allowing for other enemies to hear you and potentially join in on the fun

[merry pebble]

Against golems they can be, doesent mean there arent better options 🙂

[shy marlin]

So while theoretically, "Yea guys they do 2x dmg is true", in practice that's just not the case

So no, they're not strong

[heady parcel]

Also, doing another Valheim run but doing things differently is like playing another game. There's the world modifiers (no portals for example will shake things up quite a lot) and there's any kind of personal "challenge" you can give yourself. But if you're the kinda guy who just wants to "beat" a game and move on to other games, that's fine too. To each their own.

For example you beat it using magic - so you could try another run and go melee all the way. I've been mostly ignoring magic all my 2k+ hours of Valheim, so I will really try it next round..

Also a sound approach. I tend to play games exclusively for a few months, then take breaks to play something else and come back later with the hunger all replenished. Can't really play several games in parrallell, I need to focus or I get bored.

[vocal rivet]

#1024264966712340510 is where that goes.

[crude wolf]

my b derek

[pliant hatch]

In a way pickaxes are, because it let you create the pit in which you can lure a Golem.
And the advantage of a trapped Golem is that there won't spawn another at the same location as long as the one in the pit remains alive.

[shy marlin]

If we're going with cheese methods then it's still outclassed by the hammer and 8 wood

[pliant hatch]

Well, cheese methods is what kept people alive in the past few 100,000 years.
So why not use it in games too?

We're not all like you, being able to defeat Fader with a character using no food, no armor, only fists, while yourself having one hand tied behind your back and one eye covered for limited vision.

So some will use cheesing and as long as there isn't a law against it, people will mention cheese methods.
Whether you like it or not.

[shy marlin]

huh, 8 wood and like 10 seconds with like 30 stam, vs 90 seconds of set up and much more stamina, has nothing to do with me being good at the game

[hearty niche]

I wonder i fwe're gonna get PTS release before european vacation

[vocal rivet]

I wouln't have thought so. Smiffe is already on vacation.

[near furnace]

Not very likely

[pliant hatch]

I dunno if the players get Post Traumatic Stress, but some of the devs might if players keep asking about when the DN is released.......

[near furnace]

Deep north when?

Never been asked before

[royal tulip]

Can Iron only be found in the dungeon swamps, I saw a post saying you can find it with a wishbone outside in the swamps?

[shy marlin]

Not limited to crypts no

However you will find the majority of your iron to come from the crypts

[vocal rivet]

Collecting iron outside really is a waste of time.

[royal tulip]

I'm not able to find many crypts 😦

[pliant hatch]

There are multiple swamps out there, but you may have to sail for it.
Did you build the 2nd sailing vessel after you entered the Black Forest?

[royal tulip]

I've got the tier three boat but we're sharing iron between us and we have plenty of upgrades to do

[hearty niche]

That was kinda my thinkin - there had been talk about the "slope combat"/etc stuff being released before DN and I thought there might be a push to get that out before vacation to get it tested but probably not. I hope y'all have a good vacation and will check back in August.

[merry pebble]

If by "talk" you mean a devblog/word from the devs, yes there has been talk 😄

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, hardly rumour at this point.

[little trellis]

just bought the game

[light moat]

Enjoy!

[merry pebble]

Welcome between fellow vikings!
Be ready to sink hundreds if not thousands of hours in this game.

[heady parcel]

Gods, durability of the Root Fang is no joke, killing one harpy put it at 62%

Got to bring my old spinesnap along on longer excursions

[heady parcel]

Hahah just watched two seekers chasing a deer for minutes before they gave up and went for me instead

Looks funny but there's an important thing there too - seekers, even when there's two of them, are pretty easy to dodge as long as you keep moving. Requires space to move of course, so little help in mines, but out in the open they can be outsmarted easily.

[muted sable]

I probably missed this - is it possible to see swimming mechanics, like underwater or its like caves - requires full game rebuild?

[pliant hatch]

It would require to completely re-design the engine.
So "No, it's not possible to see things like that".

Unless you want to wait for another 6-7 years to have the game released?

[muted sable]

Nah just wonder, ty for answer brother

[heady parcel]

Bah, picky wolfses, won't eat seeker meat

[merry pebble]

Bug meat, bleh xD

[nocturne wolf]

It wouldn't require rebuilding the entire game or engine, but it would take a very large amount of work compared to how much content we receive because of how many systems would need to be replaced or implemented

[tacit crystal]

They don't eat any post-Plains meats, I have tested that.

[heady parcel]

Yeah. Picky wolfses!

What to make of the Slayer by the way? Brutal, Scourging or Primal? I'm leaning towards Scourging since getting benefit from Brutal means going against all my instincts, and I have faster hitting weapons with root

[merry pebble]

Same, tho i am bit biased to iolite enchantments 😄

[heady parcel]

Need to find more gems before I can do anything, but nothing wrong with planning ahead...

[vocal rivet]

Brutal Slayer for the win.

[heady parcel]

I can't make proper use of it, running around beaten more than half dead goes against my nature...

Although I could make it just for the looks and take benefit whenever it happens!

But now I'm actually thinking of not gemming it at all but upgrading it to 3rd lvl instead

Gemmed can't be upgraded more than 2nd so far, no?

[nocturne wolf]

Gemstone weapons can only be upgraded to level 2

[light moat]

Raw weapons, my beloved 💪
(Except for Dyrnwyn, love you)

[tacit crown]

TooMuchDogg likes it raw

[tacit crystal]

Eats his boar meat raw.

[tacit crystal]

Gotta say I prefer Slayer either regular or Bloodstone.

But Klossen, Primal axes and Storming Splitnir ftw.

[shy marlin]

Anybody else strongly enjoy the fact that the torch does more fire dmg than a flaming sword

Cause I do!

[merry pebble]

I would not say that "enjoy" is the right word necessarily...

[nocturne wolf]

Since the flaming sword is in the biome where everything resists fire, I don’t mind.

[heady parcel]

Dunno if I "enjoy" it, but I certainly find it funny

[nocturne wolf]

It’s just there to give a burning effect to enemies, not for dealing any significant damage

[heady parcel]

Torch breaks faster tho 😄

It's still a flaming sword, you kinda expect it to, like, burn stuff. At least a little bit more than it does. But we take what we get eh..

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing in ashlands burns so I wouldn’t want that

[merry pebble]

I really hope the fire dmg gets buffed to at least be on par with torch xD

[heady parcel]

Next biome things might burn better though

[shy marlin]

Deep north 👀

[merry pebble]

But in DN there might be stuff that burns 😉

[shy marlin]

Would reward the players quite well if they went thru the extra steps of getting that thing

Not to mention Drynwyn lacks any special effect like the storm root or blood so an increased fire dmg would only make sense to cover for that

[nocturne wolf]

It shouldn’t be too strong since only one player (by default) in a group can get it, it would be unfair otherwise

[shy marlin]

Game is balanced around single player first

[heady parcel]

Although why should things be fair, honestly. Let groups argue and fight it out over who gets it...

[merry pebble]

And I would say that since only one player can get it then it can be a bit better than other weapons, if everyone could get it then yes, it shouldnt be too good

[nocturne wolf]

This is what obliterators are made for

[merry pebble]

You wouldnt!!!

[heady parcel]

Lol tossing dyrnwyn into the obliterator for that one measly coal, gods how cruel

[nocturne wolf]

Thor can have it ❤️

[merry pebble]

Not even the one...

[heady parcel]

Hahah yea Thor is a cheap one

[quasi latch]

Dyrnwyn: an Ashlands tier sword that becomes irrelevant as soon as it's made
Root harnesk: a Swamp tier breastplate that remains relevant as late as Ashlands

[shy marlin]

🤙

As long as things do pierce in deep north it'll be relevant there

[tacit crystal]

I have suggested some time ago but a chance for fiery wave around that deals fire damage would be nice and would make it more unique and useful.

[nocturne wolf]

Why would you ask for a chance

[shy marlin]

WE LOVE GAMBLING 🎰

[quasi latch]

Skyward strike secondary attack would be cool

[merry pebble]

Also would be inconsistent with all other 1 handed swords 😄

[quasi latch]

Yep. Just like the crafting recipe.

[heady parcel]

The jade root effect when fighting seeker soldier was fantastically useful, hehe

[merry pebble]

Still the same weapon type tho 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Dunno, don't mind the chance system honestly.

[shy marlin]

I strongly suspect Jade will outweigh storm in the deep north purely because of this reasoning

[quasi latch]

Needs a battlepass

[heady parcel]

Popped in to harvest my shrooms and a one star soljer was chewing through my walls, never killed one so quickly before

Also rooting morgens and bullying them in their own caves has become my new favourite sport

[random root]

Finally I got 1000hours on the game

[light moat]

Why do you enjoy hurting my feelings?

[shy marlin]

[tacit crystal]

Because it's easy?

||Jk. ||

[quasi latch]

I also enjoy the fact that a blackmetal knife does more than 8x the damage of a copper knife against fleshy targets despite them not encountering anything hard or bony

Surely their ability to hold an edge doesn't make that much of a difference...

[light moat]

Whoa whoa whoa, when did you start playing Barony??? 👀

(Oh whoops, thought was general lol)

[surreal gorge]

guys i want to ask did the price goes up ? for valheim

[leaden falcon]

Where may I safely share a cute AI generated picture with the Valheim community and not break rules?

[cloud fox]

Is there a currently known estimated release date for the deep north?

[leaden falcon]

I was talking about teaching my G/F some stuff with math, to ChatGPT and it offered to do it visually with Valheim in mind, and I said sure without thinking (I was thinking it would draw a table.) but it drew a cute picture with Valheim math.

[vocal rivet]

Nowhere, we're not interested in AI.

[steel mica]

Mistlands biome giving me a reality check, that no matter if I have ashlands equipment the seekers does just 120 pierce dmg

and I have no Pierce resistance to negate that

[floral rover]

yo guys is this game worth buyin?

[light moat]

In my unbiased opinion… yes 👀

In a serious note, yeah it’s a great game. If you’re not a fan of EA games, be aware that this game is still in early access. With that being said, it has a lot of content and is very well-polished.

[floral rover]

ok Runescape Dragonwilds or This game?

[shy marlin]

Valheim

[floral rover]

i mean dont get me wrong...the graphics are ummmmm

@shy marlin does this game have skill leveling system?

[shy marlin]

yea but it's pretty bad

[floral rover]

okay......

[shy marlin]

well maybe bad is the wrong word, it's just meh

skills are just nice to have in valheim, that's all

but srsly, valheim is probably the best entertainment you can get for 20 bucks

[light moat]

RuneScape is cool, but I would still recommend Valheim.

Try it out, if you don’t like it, you can return it 🤔 (probably)

[shy marlin]

I personally can't stand the lighting of dragonwilds

[light moat]

Scales, the official spokesperson of Valheim

[tepid prawn]

interesting, I mean I haven't tried dragonwilds but I adore the VH lighting, and I m still playing Valheim only whenever I can

[shy marlin]

Sounds like a complete disaster

I'll stick to being the resident sweat lord

[steel mica]

I cant stop laughing at the asksvin meme I did

I always see greylings just wander in my base and then get yeeted across the ground floor after trying to fight my asksvin

[light moat]

Brave little fellas

[short plank]

how do you get an asksvin to your base?

[shy marlin]

Have them lay eggs in the ashlands, then tp with the eggs back home

[wary linden]

Anyone got a server I can join?

[short plank]

asksvin eggs?

thats so wierd, never tamed them. wouldnt think demon dogs would lay eggs

[undone forum]

I think they are technically reptiles, I could be wrong though

[livid zenith]

I think "asksvin" translates to "ash pig"

[pallid pecan]

In Norwegian, yes.

[merry pebble]

They are basically overgrown necks 🙂

[lunar sapphire]

Rocky says hi 👋

[merry pebble]

The best acessory for hot weather

[lunar sapphire]

It’s winter here, keep your summer over there

[merry pebble]

Regretfully i will have to keep it here as my abilities are not great enough to send it to the land down under 😛

[analog pine]

Ah, why do I always tell myself that I'm not going to stay up playing Valheim until 2am when I have to wake up in 6 hours? It never works.

[tepid prawn]

that was me yesterday hahaha, building the new treehouse, ran out of wood, core wood, iron, fine wood, had to get more, then build mor,e then need copper for lights, but its very fun and relaxing 🙂 (What is sleep?)

[analog pine]

I told myself I'd do that fortress quick and go to sleep before midnight. That fortress had the vegvisir to Fader...on the same island, about 200 meters away. So I build a shack with a portal in it nearby and went to make more eitr foods. I had no vineberries. So I went to mass gather ingredients. I'm out of magecaps. I go to harvest the magecaps from the farm. Sudden gjall fight. Then I had to cycle the eitr refinery. It's...a process.

On the bright side, this file is the very first solo file I'll be completing. It's been a goal of mine for a while. Aside from all the 5-star fish, Fader is the last obstacle to completion. There is a friend who joins me from time to time, but he isn't able to do a whole lot aside from random expeditions. All of the bosses have been solo'd.

[tacit crystal]

Last obstacle huh, you have found fragments for special weapon around Ashlands?

[analog pine]

Oh, right. That thing. I should probably hunt that down after Fader. Wouldn't want to miss out on a worthless trophy sword.

[zinc valley]

Finally killed The Queen, only took 4hours 😂👍

[analog pine]

That mod I got to make the Staff of Protection bubble ignore Chopping and Pickaxe damage makes me think that was intentional. I'm basically unkillable with a shield I can keep renewing.

[zinc valley]

Bro tye carapace buckler saved my life

That and Jam

[analog pine]

None of the bosses were able to put a dent in me. The Queen in particular was getting stuck trying to kill my skeletts while I lobbed fireballs at her.

[zinc valley]

I had the mist sword buckler, lvl 4 Frost hammer and about 300kg of food

Those seekers are greif tho

[analog pine]

Magic combat is 100% my thing. I always switch to it the second I unlock it. That Staff of Embers just demolishes things at high Elemental Magic levels. Not sure why the Staff of Fracturing exists when the Staff of Embers outclasses it in raw damage output, even without stacking fire as fast. The problem with the latter is the knockback makes lobbing multiple projectiles in a row tends to miss a lot.

[zinc valley]

Bro how do I unlock magic? Cause I've literally killed hundreds with the hammer and shield

Killed the Queen and still havnt discovered it lol

[analog pine]

You'd need black cores to make an eitr refinery, and the rest will flow from there.

Oh, and sap from the tree roots. You'll need to raid dverger outposts for the extractor parts.

[zinc valley]

I heard you needa eat eitr rich foods

[nocturne wolf]

Hugin should’ve given you a hint when you found an Yggdrasil root

[zinc valley]

I got the the eitr forger and plenty if sap

[analog pine]

Wait, you made a Sealbreaker. You HAVE the Gauldr Table.

[lofty lichen]

now make a Galdr table

[zinc valley]

Damn, maybe I'm not looking properly

Aw yeah

Lvl 2 table

[nocturne wolf]

You only need level 1 to make all mistlands equipment

[lofty lichen]

this guy must be trolling

[analog pine]

Look into it. Find the skulls. Harvest their moist, juicy brains. Lots of tissue samples there.

[tepid prawn]

Might not be worthless in DN or after the combat update

the slash damage is amazing on it already though

[zinc valley]

Bruh 💀 I've been so focused on making an absolute tank of a dude

[analog pine]

Mine them from the bottom. For the most part, the rest of the tissue samples will break once the bottom is destroyed.

[zinc valley]

This game tho so small is actually huge 😂

[analog pine]

Magic has multiple benefits in staves and blood magic. Namely, the Staff of Embers is a primary weapon of mine. It does a large lumpsum of damage with some AoE. A direct hit does bulk Blunt and Fire damage, with the AoE having only the latter. But it's a nice radius. Then the Staff of Frost is a rapid-fire ice burst that slows targets it hits for 1 second, renewing as you hit them. Doesn't work on some things. Namely, bosses. But you can basically stunlock a target by icing them whilst backing up. The Ashlands has MORE magic weapons to discover, though.

[nocturne wolf]

I thought direct and aoe have the same damages, are you sure about that?

[analog pine]

Blood Magic sacrifices a percentage of your current health to activate their effects. The Staff of Protection places a temporary bubble to absorb damage, and the Dead Raiser summons skeletts to attack for you.

[analog pine]

Do they? I've never really noticed while I'm flinging fireballs wildly to get whatever's attacking me away.

Staff of Protection gains 60 more seconds of protection per level, while Dead Raiser raises the skelett cap per level, up to 4 at a time.

[zinc valley]

Heck yeah, can't believe I've got this far with only physical attacks and a good stock of sausage, honey, jam etc. Awesome game 😂 heaps goin on

[analog pine]

As you raise your magic skills, eitr usage becomes more efficient, and blood magic drains less of a percentage of your health. It's a worthy combat style for solo or team play. The staff of protection gives a protective bubble to every ally and tamed creature in a decent range around you.

I-Um...THAT'S the food you're using?

[steel mica]

Meadow diet

[analog pine]

As a chef, I'm frankly quite insulted.

[steel mica]

Are you like doing a challenge or something xd

[zinc valley]

Hahahah health at roughly 101 and stam is like 160 🤣

[steel mica]

or in a group?

[zinc valley]

Nah man, just a full time worker jamming a new game 😅

[steel mica]

I question how you even beaten the previous bosses and survived to meet the not so friendly enemies in the mistlands

[zinc valley]

I don't have to make eitr weave clothes do I? Cause my dude is a rhino

[analog pine]

Wait until you find out about Misthare Supreme, Meat Platter, and Salad.

[steel mica]

You dont as long as you eat 1 eitr food

[zinc valley]

The mist lands are the worst place I've ever been hey

[analog pine]

Eitr weave robes aren't a requirement, but the full set is enough to double your eitr regen.

[zinc valley]

If I didn't have the feather cape I would be dead

And the whisp light

[analog pine]

It's 2:24am. I need to be up at 8. Laters.

[steel mica]

its very possible to run around in the mistlands without a wisp light

this is from experience

[zinc valley]

Yeah but it sucks major balls

[analog pine]

Go cook something Mistlands-tier! The chef demands it!

[zinc valley]

Them gjall things aren't playing around

[zinc valley]

https://tenor.com/view/vldl-viva-la-dirt-league-rowan-bored-ugh-gif-20565271

Serious question tho... what do I put in an oven? 😔

[nocturne wolf]

Uncooked food can be made at a food preparation table

[nimble scarab]

best effective armor combination is: metal helmet, root chest, troll pants. You get the most armor values and buffs while being relatively agile. You can use this until Mistlands, where stuff can get complicated

[merry pebble]

Switch troll to fenris pants 😉

What are you rolling your eyes for? 😄 You wanted the "best effective armor combination".

[vocal rivet]

That's a 3 day old comment. They've probably finished the game by now.

[nimble scarab]

not everyone is speedrunning the game like you do. From bronze to killing Ashlands boss? and being new to the game?

[vocal rivet]

I've never speedrun a game in my life. And I was clearly exaggerating.

[warm sandal]

Especially if NOT speedrunning the fenris pants are gold.

they are not much of an option because you need the fenrishair in speedrunning 😄 extra steps to get them

[keen trench]

fenris is more like "speedrunning" from being crushed/stabbed to death than "speedrunning game progression"

[warm sandal]

being able to walk out off harms way is very helpful. the movement penalty for the more stable armor comes with a big drawback (in my opinion) so I would always opt for fenris because more agile is quicker out of harms way 😄

[vocal rivet]

Armour doesn't have drawbacks, bows do...

[warm sandal]

@vocal rivet thanks for correcting this poor non native english speaker... gotta love folks that nitpick your language 😄

[vocal rivet]

Huh? When did I correct anyone's language?

I'd never do that. I can't speak any language better than you guys speak English so I'd never dare.

[keen trench]

uhm i think that's about "armour" in british spelling... maybe he felt "corrected"

[warm sandal]

@vocal rivet i felt nitpicked on for using drawback with the armor

[vocal rivet]

He?

[keen trench]

both are correct

[warm sandal]

nah armour armor is potato potato 😄 i would love to remember to write it the british way (brain to fussy at times to do that)

[vocal rivet]

No, I was making a stupid joke. Because you draw back a bow to fire it.

[keen trench]

oh just a guess, wrong apparently

[warm sandal]

sorry for being a bit on edge there then - seems I have been having to many stupid remarks in other places on my grammar and spelling - please do not take offence 😄

[ionic elk]

One of the spiciest bits about using magic is it eats your HP too. I was at 10 HP or so, many times fighting the queen as I was summoning skellies and topping up my shield. It's a lot of fun and super spicy too, probably a bit of a necessity for when you first touch down in the Ashlands too

[vocal rivet]

Don't worry about it. It was a bad joke. No offence taken.

[vocal rivet]

Read her name backwards.

[keen trench]

ups, sry my bad, "she felt.."

[tacit crystal]

Ooh, now I see... Never actually thought of that.

[keen trench]

also looks a bit like "anagram", appropriate

[warm sandal]

the captial L at the end is the only hint folks get and not many realize at first glance 😄 I giggle with glee anytime someone notices it 😄

[pliant hatch]

True, those who know, know. 😄

[keen trench]

yeh playing with usernames is totally fine, and fun (within decency ofc.)
-# eg. not "Vincenzo", not a blood-uncle (moral for a bunch of kids and dogs tho) only 5/8 Italian 🤌

back to , early armor can do good even in "complicated" Mistlands: i'm going Fenris-Root-Fenris (and Feather ofc.) there atm

[tacit crystal]

Can't wait until they do something to Root Harnesk, honestly.

[nocturne wolf]

Increased armor against pierce instead of % damage reduction would make it less powerful in later biomes

[keen trench]

yup that will be a sad day for me, i'll do a screenshot funeral memorial for badass looking mistlands rangers

[tacit crystal]

Or if there would be "slightly resistant" modifier that gives 25% resistance.

[keen trench]

🫸 🫷 not listening

[steel mica]

blah blah blah not listening

The harnesk is very op but at some point theres going to be a nerf

we cant avoid it

[keen trench]

naaah, low armor value, weakness to fire, it's absolutely not op, actually i use it just for looks 👍 👌

bad, useless armor piece, even in it's native biome, bad

[steel mica]

the negation to a dmg type that is very often found even in later biomes is very nice but just having raw dmg reduction with just full armour of the previous biomes will be better than the root harnesk

since not all enemies will have pierce attacks

[keen trench]

but i still use the Arctic Furs armor (level 2) well into Nightmare difficulty in Diablo 2, no one ever complained about that
-# i know, i know, just defending Root Harnesk till death, can't help it

[steel mica]

The only time ive really used root harnesk was when I was dealing with the sealed tower and the mistlands

the spearers at the top of the sealed tower were very annoying

[near furnace]

Lady morgana

[keen trench]

also the plains, but there is balanced, once i maxed the full padded set, armor value alone will defend enough from Deathskitoes, no idea about op-ness in Ashlands as i didn't get there yet, sure i was planning to dismiss it before Ashlands (actually i did even for the Queen, full mage)

💡 just make any root armor piece in inventory burn into coal as you enter Ashlands and leave my badass mistlands ranger alone >>> problem solved
(jk ofc)

[steel mica]

Curious

has anyone ever made a range + support mage build?

[steel mica]

Thats why I didnt use the root anymore because of max padded set

[shy marlin]

Yes

[steel mica]

bonus: looking dope as hell

[steel mica]

From this answer alone you played this build correct?

[steel mica]

Is there an bug report chat here?

[nocturne wolf]

#steam-bugs-discussion #xbox-bugs-discussion #mac-bugs-discussion

[steel mica]

like ingame

[vocal rivet]

Why would it be ingame?

[languid ice]

bc some bugs are in game ;-;

[steel mica]

bc I found one relating to animation

[vocal rivet]

Well, obviously the bugs are in game, but you don't report them in game 😕

[steel mica]

Ofc im not gonna report it ingame

[rain scroll]

https://www.valheimgame.com/support

[steel mica]

theres not even an ingame report bug option

[shy marlin]

It's not uncommon for games to have an option to report a bug in game 🤔

[vocal rivet]

What do you think the bug channels are for then?

Oh, you've edited it now.

[steel mica]

typo

it just says steam, xbox, mac bug duscussion but not anything relating to the game

[pliant hatch]

There's one here too: https://valheim.com/support

[steel mica]

or like ingame stuff

[steel mica]

howdy ty

[vocal rivet]

What else would it be related to, honestly?

[nocturne wolf]

It is for ingame stuff but some bugs will only be on specific platforms

[maiden granite]

#screenshots message
Has anyone ever tried standing on top of the obliterator seat and survived the lightning?

[candid basalt]

You have to blast “Ride the Lightning” by Metallica at loud volume in order to survive

[analog pine]

I have a random question. Do you ever sleep? I swear, I see you at all hours of the day, ready to answer Valheim questions or join in their discussions.

[nocturne wolf]

No, I’m always here

[analog pine]

I suppose you're like me and wondering what's the grass people are telling us to go touch? I touch enough of that in The Meadows.

[nocturne wolf]

Real meadows have no necks anyway

[analog pine]

Out of all their parts we harvest, we harvest their tails. Same with their more advanced ashlands counterparts.

Surprised we don't get their hides to turn into rain protection.

[nocturne wolf]

There shouldn’t be even more encouraging players to kill necks those poison meads are tempting enough

[candid basalt]

There is no rain protection in the spirit world

[analog pine]

Oh, I'm never encouraged to kill them. They just happen to be aggressive and not going away when they see me. So they get a fireball to the face.

Why am I chatting on discord? I have to be at work in 25ish minutes. :v

[candid basalt]

That’s enough time to fell some trees

[nocturne wolf]

You’re building too loud, they just want some peace. You show up in their meadows and construct an entire Viking village, and you expect them to be ok with that?

[analog pine]

They're going to be okay with it, or they'll be on the chopping block from this master mage.

[candid basalt]

Forget the neck tails… why can’t we use deer or boar entrails for sausages instead of being cannibals

[nocturne wolf]

Entrails would need to be given another use

And any replacement should still be a swamp tier ingredient

[open pecan]

To feed tamable Abominations of course.

[shy marlin]

Tameable seekers 🙏

[steel mica]

honestly hearing the gjall sound effects especially with no music playing is still giving me chills

despite me wearing full flametal equipment and maxed out

[undone forum]

Now imagine realizing that it was a 2*

1* hurt way more than a normal

[steel mica]

Theres no 2* gjall but still

[undone forum]

There is a 2*

Might be a command only but it exists

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

Also a nighttime only spawn

[steel mica]

They only spawn at nighttime interesting

havent encountered these guys yet

[undone forum]

I found a 1* once and he wasn't very nice. #screenshots message

[steel mica]

dang

[slender dagger]

hello, do we have a mod here? i wanna report a user

[tacit crystal]

Send DM to @dusky pivot

[pliant hatch]

You can use Modmail for that.

[errant knoll]

You don't particularly want to 🤣 Mistlands at night time is pretty scary

[steel mica]

The music for fader is... ||hella dope||

[errant knoll]

2 star seekers are also capable of spawning at night, you don't see them in the overworld during the day, only in dungeons

And their large size often works against them in dungeons

[steel mica]

o

[neon aspen]

hello

[steel mica]

I am lovin this theme for fader

[neon aspen]

hello black

[steel mica]

Howdy

[neon aspen]

hows it doing

[tacit crystal]

They can actually spawn during the day, but only in POIs like outside of the Infested mines or inside the empty marble ruins (spawn points). During night they can spawn also randomly with 2 stars tho.

[steel mica]

Finally fader is dead

[maiden granite]

Does empty marble ruins constantly spawn seekers like a spawner?

[tacit crystal]

No, they're one time spawn points.

[heady parcel]

Meadows at nighttime post beating queen can be quite eventful

Went for a quick firewood run, along with firewood I returned home with 8 seeker meat and 9 black metal...

[steel mica]

The theme for fader

my god that is music to my ears literally

[frigid gust]

Marble ruins don't, but the infested mines do respawn a subset of their population, I believe the broods and some of the regular seekers. There aren't any constant spawners like the Greydwarves or Draugr have, though

[calm mist]

omg, when deep north ? 😢 , after or before grounded 2

[shy marlin]

After

[frigid gust]

When it's done. Devs don't give any timelines, but it's not around the corner.

[heady parcel]

No release date yet, not even a guess. It will come when it is ready..

[steel mica]

pretty sure its beyond after

[shy marlin]

Can almost guarantee deep north is not coming in a month

[steel mica]

Scales

I gotta be real with you

Fader's theme is a real hell yeah moment

[shy marlin]

gonna pass on faders theme

[steel mica]

Aw whyyyy D:

[shy marlin]

it's just noise man

[steel mica]

[heady parcel]

Yeah when I came to the Queen's entrance it was guarded by one two star with two one-star sidekicks. That fight was honestly tougher than the queen herself

[frigid gust]

I love the hidden little area under her entrance

[heady parcel]

Ohyeah it's a lovely place

[tacit crystal]

I usually tear the ruined furniture and walls inside apart so I have safe area for my portals that lead into variant Mistlands locations.

[heady parcel]

In my world it was a horrible place to fight a bunch of starred seekers though - a deep bay just at the bottom of the stairs, with just a narrow strip of land between that and steep spires on both sides. Had almost no space to move while fighting them, and always the risk of knockback yeeting me into the sea. And smack in the middle of the mists too, no luck to have some clear air there...

Just blind luck that the honker nearby didn't find the source of noise until after they were dead, but come to think of it the mists probably helped with that

[frigid gust]

I try to keep as much of the furniture around as I can and just leave it for my Queen portal, I love the aesthetic and most of that you can't rebuild

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but then again there are more Queen locations too.

[frigid gust]

Yeah, the infested mine entrances/queen altar right at the sea is such a pain to deal with

[heady parcel]

I put the emergency portal there, and a chest for foods.

[frigid gust]

One of my worlds I found the altar before I found a single infested mine... that world was a slog 😛

[heady parcel]

Ugh

[heady parcel]

What does the "heat resistance" on the flametal armour do?

Will I live a few seconds longer in lava?

[severe yew]

Like... one second longer.

[tacit crystal]

You can stand bit longer on lava before it starts to hurt you, same to the water.

[severe yew]

With all pieces.

[tacit crystal]

Only chest and legs grant heat resistance, which is 20% each.

[nocturne wolf]

I think it also reduces the amount of damage taken but I haven’t tested that

[tacit crystal]

True, that also.

[heady parcel]

Right. Just made and upgraded the whole set, been running around all squishy in the Ask set so long I've almost gotten used to the mobility, time to return to my tanky roots. Completed it with the ashen cape, so I have to wean myself of the feather cape complacency...

[tacit crystal]

Instead of 10 damage per tick you take 6 when you have both chest and legs pieces.

[hot salmon]

guys which mod would let me resize the minimap (not zoom) my monitor is too big

[heady parcel]

Maybe stay inebriated on Ratatosk to take the edge off the run speed hit

[tacit crystal]

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

[hot salmon]

ok

[tacit crystal]

I prefer the Ask set and Ashen cape. Nice amount of armor and mobility.

[nocturne wolf]

Ask set, feather cape. Dodge everything

[heady parcel]

Ooof leaving the feather cape behind is gonna take some getting used to, but it's about time I detox myself from that

Almost killed myself three times in the first five minutes

[nocturne wolf]

There is no time to detox from it, just keep it on

[heady parcel]

Waaaait

That could be a way to get use out of brutal slayer

[quasi latch]

Just go HHH and facetank the fall damage :clueless:

[heady parcel]

Try and start fights with a long fall...

[tacit crystal]

Never having stamina tho.

[quasi latch]

Tasty mead be like

[nocturne wolf]

Stamina food be like

[quasi latch]

||PLEASE don't actually do this I swear to fuck||

[tacit crystal]

Tasty mead AND stamina food.

[quasi latch]

The only stamina foods I have are honey and raspberries, I need better stats

Gotta get that deer meat and boar meat

[light moat]

Eitr food 👍

[heady parcel]

That collar on the ashen cape, makes me feel like a cartoon dog with an underbite

Crikey it looks silly

[tacit crystal]

I haven't minded it with the Flametal helmet but it irritates me when it clips weirdly with hoods since I've been mainly using the Ask set. Which is why I made a suggestion regarding to it. #suggestions message

[light moat]

HA was just about to post your suggestion!!

Of course, I’d like to see some alternative styles for a lot of the armor pieces! 😁

[tacit crystal]

How cool that would be really. Like plates for iron armor for example.

[heady parcel]

Thanks for the link, upvoted it. I don't even like it with the flametal armour so I can't imagine how stupid it looks with hoods 😄

[light moat]

So much potential! I remember a while ago, a user mentioned that they didn’t like the wolf head on the wolf cape. (Personally, I think it looks bad ass and I would never change it). Would be cool if those who felt bad seeing a wolf head could have an alternative style that didn’t include it. Just an example!

[tacit crystal]

Wolf cape looks okay to me, but it sometimes clips weirdly. But I prefer the Lox cape personally, it's THICK.

[light moat]

The wolf cape looks so good… I still use it on the Ashlands lol
The animated trailer where the Eitr caster had the weave robes and the wolf cape? Perfect fashion.

[tacit crystal]

Meanwhile Hervor is using lox cape with flametal chest and legs. 🤙

[nocturne wolf]

She’s going to die soon if she doesn’t make a new weapon, which hopefully means she can make a new weapon and show us everything about it

Also we still haven’t had a good look at any enemies. Just one attack from an Elaking

[shy marlin]

I'll say it, Hervor deserves to die for using jotun pain

[tacit crystal]

Scales summoned when Jotun Pain mentioned.

[light moat]

Scales gets a notification in his mind when someone mentions the staff of protection.

[shy marlin]

[steel mica]

its nice for scouting out the ashlands for POIs

I have mine set up on top of my fortress tower with angle grausten roofs to get better height

[blazing cobalt]

I have a question. I am trying to use freefly to record my build, but the camera moves too quickly. I've tried using ffsmooth but I can't find a good range.

Is there any way to make it look better?

[shy marlin]

use the mouse wheel to slow/speed up freefly

[blazing cobalt]

Thx. Also, how do you change from running to walking?

[shy marlin]

check your keybinds in settings

i don't remember the default key for it

[steel mica]

C by default

[steel mica]

Its my first time in awhile I have used HHS food combination, ive always went with my go to HSS for more stamina

But due to how tough the enemies are in the ashlands

especially those 4

[tacit crystal]

Which four?

[steel mica]

Asksvins, Charred Warrior, Morgen, and Fallen Valkyrie

Despite having max flametal armour they still hit like a truck

[tacit crystal]

2 star Warrior is fun one.

[steel mica]

Ah yes I remember my first encounter with a 2* warrior

I had to demolisher it to death just to live

It one shotted me

when I has HSS and fully maxed out carapace armour

I just realized that 2* warrior screenshot was 8 days old

so it only took me a week to beat ashlands

[heady parcel]

Not letting those bastards get close enough to me to land a hit. Nearly got destroyed by a one-star, the two-starred get the frost arrow & root treatment. Takes a few arrows, but better them than me...

[tacit crystal]

Mace secondary is my goto way to deal 2 star warriors.

[wintry valve]

my way to deal with [problem] is bow

[severe yew]

I switched to crossbow in the mistlands.

[heady parcel]

Love the root fang, but its shitty durability is a problem with the charred being pierce resistant. Going through a lot of arrows

So I'm trying to save my arrows for the nasties. Valkyries plus starred warriors or asksvins

[quiet gorge]

The queen is dead
2 hours of battle

Meh, magic is cool but nothing beats the old carapace shield, demolisher, lvl 4 frostner, mist sword and a good supply of jam and meat 😂

While I perfectly understand why it's not something we can do in vanilla, I would love to be able to plant Yggdrassil Shoot trees

They're just so pretty. Mistlands is a pretty biome and it's kinda depressing to see that beauty kinda fade a bit as you cut those trees down.

I only just realized that there's a hidden chest in some of the mountain's cabins behind the wood piles. I don't usually destroy them because I think they make the montain cooler, but in restoring one for a nice mountain getaway I noticed it finally

I'm currently using knives in the game near end of swamp. I know they disappear in end game axes have been catching my eye though but there's a few things I wonder. When would it be worth making the switch as I have 50 levels in knife but none in axes. Can battle axes chop trees? How do axes fair throughout the game past swamps?

[shy marlin]

Don't worry about skill levels

1 h axes are kinda garbo, battle axes can chop trees very well

[wispy plinth]

Thanks do they chop the trees they need to for the tier?

[wispy plinth]

How come?
