[wispy plinth]

Ah fair how effective is my 50 in knives then?

[shy marlin]

You'd need to make a 1 h axe in the 6th biome but other than that i think you're fine? idk never thought about that

[shy marlin]

It's good but you'd be able to get high 30s in axes in a pretty short amount of time so you really wouldn't feel the difference in skill levels all that much

[wispy plinth]

Is the 1h good

[shy marlin]

as weapons? not really

[wispy plinth]

Fair thanks

[shy marlin]

But really, the game isn't hard enough to warrant using the BiS for everything so just play what you like

[wispy plinth]

True

[shy marlin]

If this is your first playthrough, I'd recommend you at least touch a weapon class once and just see how it feels, be curious

[wispy plinth]

How do axes fair vs bosses?

[shy marlin]

Mediocre

Like axes are best for the last boss, but awful against others

[wispy plinth]

Awful?

[shy marlin]

Don't wanna spoil too much but || bonemass ||

[wispy plinth]

I'm just using a mace there was horrible last time

I'm end of swamp now

[shy marlin]

Mace against bonemass is prolly best lol

[wispy plinth]

So what about past bonemass for axes?

[shy marlin]

You'll do fine

Once again, there's better options, but you'll be able to clear all bosses with axes without much more struggle than the usual for players

[wispy plinth]

Thanks

Is there a tree needed in mountains?

[severe yew]

No

[wispy plinth]

Is axes good in mountain as weapon of would I be best sticking with knives?

[severe yew]

Cough I’m a bit biased.

[wispy plinth]

Fair but still what's your answer come down to?

[severe yew]

But yes, especially with the knives secondly being a liability in the mountains.

However, I used an atgeir when I was in the mountain stage.

[wispy plinth]

Fair

In damage the crystal battle axe is worse then knives no? And won't the knife be quicker or am I not understanding?

[undone forum]

Crystal battleaxe is one of my favorite weapons

Stunlocking cultists and fenrings is fun

[quasi latch]

FYI this guy asked for a Deep North development progress bar a few hours before leaving, sooooo I think he's one of those guys

[severe yew]

Or he was disheartened by the massive amount of down votes…. We’ll never know.

[analog pine]

Random thought, it's kind of a bummer we couldn't make a fancier Staff of Embers with Magma Cores.

[severe yew]

And the kings of all the realms bowed to the Viking Mage that held the Staff of Surtr, for with it they turned the mistlands into a dessert as an act of warning to all who thought to defy them.

[wintry valve]

The reason you want to stick with axes is because you can then carry a weapon that can also deal with trees. If you need to fight, just about anything else is better. There are exceptions to that.

Anyway, point is, theres no "tactical" advantages to axes.

[dark coyote]

there is in that its secondary is a downward vertical attack

[wintry valve]

the mace does a somewhat similar attack and I think is overall better for combat

I could be wrong, though. I havent done a deep analysis of the game.

[livid zenith]

Axe secondary is 1.5x damage, 1x staggering, and takes 2 seconds. Mace secondary is 2.5x damage, 2x staggering, and takes 1.72 seconds

[wintry valve]

I feel like the choice is easy then

[livid zenith]

Axe secondary is only good when stumps are hard to hit with the normal attack

[wintry valve]

ye, something the berserkir axe annoys me with.

I wish there was a regular flametal axe available

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry, we have Jotun Pain.

[steel mica]

We gonna poison the tree to death

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it actually has more chop power than blackmetal axe tho, but sadly the poison damage as it is currently makes it inferior in combat.

It looks cool too, but it would look better as a battleaxe IMO.

[heady parcel]

Never crafted an axe after blackmetal. No point since I fight with swords and the bm axe deals with any tree.

[thorn cargo]

If "AriaScott" messages you, they are a chinese scammer / spammer

PSA

[tacit crystal]

You can report them to @dusky pivot

[vocal rivet]

No idea why their nationality is important.

[thorn cargo]

I knew someone was going to say this. They literally told me they are from China. Their nationality is important because when they try to build a relationship with you in an effort to get you to (eventually) send them money, they have a convenient excuse for not knowing english very well. I hope that answers your question.

[vocal rivet]

Not remotely.

Have you at least reported it through the correct channels?

[brazen linden]

So if "AriaScott" from France contacts us, we're all good? Cool.

[zinc valley]

Successfully landed in the Ashlands. Kinda wish I didn't come here 💀

[mystic sonnet]

Bois, i have finally found yagluth vegrisir

I did the impossible

[molten bane]

what are some good thing about keeping your base in the meadows as a late game player

[heady parcel]

Cosy environs, plus you don't need to move base. There's really no reason to do that anyway, you can have small outposts where necessary (plains to grow barley/flax and mistlands for shrooms) but there's really no reason to move everything unless you simply like the environment and want to build base in later biomes. Of course it is different if you run a no-portals world, that kinda has other requirements.

[steel mica]

Less dangerous raids especially late game, near the sacrificial stones, less dangerous neutrally spawning enemies at daytime, chill biome

[heady parcel]

Ohyeah forgot about some raids not extending there

[tacit crystal]

It's sad that the ||seeker|| raid doesn't happen there anymore.

[heady parcel]

To be fair once the queen is down you get nightly seeker "raids" anyway. Last night I had four separate gangs attack my base during the same night. And three fuling patrols...

[keen trench]

didn't know that! im, got it just a couple times in a Plains farm but the raid pool was huge and i thought it was RNG

[heady parcel]

I still haven't had any charred raid on my home base, they regularly try to demolish my Ashlands outposts, but the lazy buggers haven bothered to cross the seas yet

[tacit crystal]

It was back before PTB and back then it spawned also soldiers (1 or 2 limit at the same time iirc).
Some people complained and it was nerfed, but if that happened after getting world modifiers in game it probably wouldn't have been nerfed.

At some point they also nerfed Gjalls by changing them to shoot 1 fireball per shot, but it was reversed fortunately.

And seekers were more brutal before, they had Wolf AI on their attacks, now they have the circling AI.

[keen trench]

i remember that one, didn't know about the raid, yeh raids are definitely part of the game, and now you can turn 'em off, so it would be nice if they're more difficult as the game progresses

[tacit crystal]

Army raids shouldn't have biome restrictions IMO. Seekers can raid you even in Ashlands.

[keen trench]

im i have some dear wooden bases i don't want to ruin estetically with ditches and fortifications... i just moved to another world and kept that one for "self nostalgia tourism"

uhm i'm egoistically happy about the mistlands-restricted Gjall one, that would be utterly destructive, even more if you like fire hazards modifier on

[tacit crystal]

Ok, maybe that one as exception. Maybe making it permanent in Mistlands?

Although you can run outside of your base if Gjall (or anything) raided.

[keen trench]

yup, that's a good trade (again egoistically )

[keen trench]

if the raid doesn't start with playerchar waking up, very frustrating and sometimes got trolls straight against ditches/walls

[tacit crystal]

Heh, just a while ago I got a raid just before getting to bed and my character started sleep through a night time raid lol.
At least I had the rested buff.

[steel mica]

feasts are good now

the mistlands + ashlands feast = goated combo

[tacit crystal]

And any food for stats you desire.

[steel mica]

free extra eitr aswell

so you can do alot of hybrid builds with the food combo

[tacit crystal]

Those feasts alone allows you cast protection shield around you and play as melee otherwise.

That combo will be pretty good when you eventually enter Deep North when it's ready.

[long peak]

hi everyone

is there a news about 1.0 or combat update

[tacit crystal]

Nothing more than what is revealed in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816

[long peak]

:/

i am a bit exited

anyway bb everyone have a great day

[tacit crystal]

We all are excited, but there is currently vacation period in Nordic countries.

[steel mica]

I forgot, but how much does it cost to cast a shield bubble and does blood magic level play a role?

all my magic gears are just its default level

including the new staffs and embla set

[tacit crystal]

60 Eitr.

[steel mica]

oh damn that is pretty good

free protection bubble while playing melee

I might start carrying my staff of protection around

[tacit crystal]

Yup. Quite good combo.

[steel mica]

still the 2-h slayer sword still has a place in my heart

[tacit crystal]

And higher skill lvl means reduction to eitr usage and stronger bubble.

[steel mica]

anything that is big and high dmg I'll gladly take over anything else

I love greatswords

[steel mica]

Does it also affect on how long the bubble last?

bc as of rn my current bubble last a minute

[tacit crystal]

I've also leaned more into 2h weapons. 2h swords, battleaxes, dual axes, you name it.

[tacit crystal]

Quality of the staff affects to it, not skill lvl.

[steel mica]

Ah so ill probably max out my staff of protection

[tacit crystal]

+1 min per quality for duration.

[steel mica]

very handy extra time and less health sacrifice

with a get out of jail dmg negator

[tacit crystal]

Hp sacrifice doesn't chance from quality (maybe reduces by the higher skill lvl iirc).

[steel mica]

I get ya but what I mean is more duration = less times you gotta sacrifice a good chunk of hp

I might level up my other skills onces im done making my main bases

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, true. Unless it breaks beforehand.

[steel mica]

wait blood magic affects the bubble health right?

or its quality of the staff?

[tacit crystal]

Skill lvl affects. 200 base + 5 per level to shield hp, up to +500 on lvl 100.

[steel mica]

Good way of passively gaining exp as well

Having protection staff at all times

[tacit crystal]

Actually only ways to gain XP for blood magic skill is when bubble breaks and when skeletts hit enemies.

[knotty thorn]

Hi! Is there any information about when the combat update will be released?

[merry pebble]

Nope, latest word about it was "Not anytime soon" few weeks ago 🙂

[tacit crystal]

I would wait until the end of the Summer at least, hence what Asatru mentioned.

[knotty thorn]

😭

[tacit crystal]

It's vacation period in Nordic countries.

[steel mica]

What about the trollstav?

that requires blood

[merry pebble]

Doesent give you xp

[steel mica]

Sad

Ateast its good for gathering resources and making the troll do work

[tacit crystal]

Blood magic skill affects to the damage that trolls deal tho.

According to my testings.

you think it would be a powerplay if i just gifted valheim to my friends and demanded they play with me?

[merry pebble]

Well, you could ask them to play with you instead of demmand it 😄

[neon swan]

I have asked and they are like "ew idk" same guys played multiple hours of Minecraft and Terraria with me 😐

[nocturne wolf]

Just show them one of these and they should change their minds

[neon swan]

i gotta mask the vegetables

[shy marlin]

Get new friends 😏

[steel mica]

"Im only a neck after all."
-The neck probably

[unkempt rampart]

What shield is your favoite?

[merry pebble]

Buckler

[heady parcel]

Flametal shield. Love its size.

In general I prefer normal shields- more forgiving if you miss a parry, but you can parry and they don't slow you down as much as tower shields.

[tacit crystal]

Buckler preferer here.

[quasi latch]

Battleaxe handle

[unkempt rampart]

The bigger one?

[tacit crystal]

The round one, not tower since tower shields cannot be used for parries.

[nocturne wolf]

The banded shield because it's almost as good as the iron buckler but looks so much better

[shy marlin]

Reject shields. Embrace atgeir.

[analog pine]

I think I've figured out Ashland mob spawning mechanics. Like other biomes, it's radius-based around the player in spaces not covered by player structures. But in Ashlands, instead of a single check being performed every few seconds, a mob spawning check is either done multiple times per few seconds or once per second. This causes them to spawn more rapidly and seemingly ignoring player structures, when they're actually spawning in the cracks of invalid spaces and outside of them rapidly.

Stupid phone mis-pinged mb

[tacit crystal]

No worries.

[quasi latch]

The one thing more OP than elevation

[analog pine]

I don't know for sure about the inner workings of spawning mechanics, but I do know I can't go 10 seconds without getting attacked in the Ashlands. The intended mechanic of pick & choose your battles doesn't work when there's going to be 5+ aggressive mobs where you're running to at all times.

[steel mica]

Theres a ton of monument of torment especially inland

so your gonna get attacked alot

not to mention the 3 enemies that can attract more enemies by doing enviromental dmg

[analog pine]

I destroy every last one of those stupid things, because I know the mobs have an insanely high perception range.

Nothing a fiery troll or a few root summons can't solve.

[merry pebble]

All mobs have the same perception range 😉 and that is 0 basically, they get agroed by noise you make and that has variance of ranges depending what are you making noise with

[crimson fulcrum]

so the forcefield stops rain, being wet and rain damage to buildings but campfires go out

what's the logic here

[nocturne wolf]

It’s probably an oversight

[crimson fulcrum]

well... it was added to the game a year ago

[tacit crystal]

Even if it was unintented it probably won't be too high on their priority list for fixes.

[dark coyote]

wish we could dig tunnels

[hearty niche]

I somehow have a magic cauldron that requires no lit fire

[heady parcel]

I assume it is unintended since it doesn't make any sense. Question is if anyone has reported it before? If it's an easy fix like applying sheltered status to a fire within x meters of a running shield generators, it could be snuck in with any small patch. But I wouldn't expect them to deal with this kinda thing until they start with polish for 1.0.

[simple folio]

I been trying to find a sea serpent for a couple days, always ran away from the previous ones and wanted to try fighting my first one, now doing a corpse run with no harpoon guess who shows up, what a jerk 😂

[pliant hatch]

If it's a storm spawn, mark it on your map.
Once you got everything recovered, return with a harpoon and show that slithering snek who's the boss on that ocean.

[simple folio]

oh he'll be in the same area?

[pliant hatch]

Those who spawn during a storm won't despawn, so he'd be around that area you spot him, making it easier for you to find him if you mark it on the map.

Only night spawns do despawn, so no need to mark those at the map.

[simple folio]

oh cool, thanks for the info that's really useful

[cloud fox]

is there much of a worth or value in making tasty mead? i feel like the cost to get ten seconds of double stamina regen pales when compared to things like waiting a few seconds with rested

[merry pebble]

Its great in middle of the fights and you can use it on top of stamina mead 🙂

• it stacks with the rested buff

[steel mica]

Its meant to be an emergency consumable

[merry pebble]

Its almost like a stamina potion but you dont have a cooldown 🙂

[analog pine]

So what's causing the mobs to aggro to players so easily are the lava blobs and morgrens causing environmental damage. It still doesn't explain why there are mobs spawning rapidly every few meters.

[near saddle]

you CAN use it on top of stamina mead?

was it lingering mead that prevented using tasty mead?

[analog pine]

Get crunk.

[pliant hatch]

That happens because the number of spawn points are much higher in the Ashlands as in other biomes.

I do hope you destroy the charred spawn points the moment you can?

[analog pine]

Mead's mead. Hence the term, "Get crunk." for drinking multiple meads.

[merry pebble]

Nope, lingering just prevents mead of the same type, so lingering stamina prevents small and medium for example. But tasty Is only one of Its type so you can use it with any other 🙂

[near saddle]

ahh, I that should be made clear on the wiki then

while not called a stamina mead I assumed it's one anyway

While active, it prevents the consumption of all types of stamina meads.

[analog pine]

I destroy every last vile monument. If it means just a few more moments of peace, I'll go out of my way to destroy them all.

[merry pebble]

Isnt it? I don't check meads very often there.

Hmm, might be good to test just to be sure, but i am fairly certain you can use it with stam mead

[near saddle]

A 2-min cooldown is applied preventing consumption of another stamina mead.
for the non-lingering meads

[analog pine]

Well what are you waiting for? Hop in your world and test it.

[near saddle]

it's 1am and I should be off to bed

[analog pine]

No bed. Get crunk.

[merry pebble]

Same and i already am xD
But yeah, the 2 min cooldown Is for meads od the same type ( i assume thats from the lingering page?) so Tasty works with it just fine as it Is another type 😄

[steel mica]

Suckers I stayed up all morning playing valheim

[ionic elk]

Yeah my current issue with Ashlands is Askvin bonking me off screen I to lava and or getting so absolutely focused on all the everything else, that lava blobs hopping at me from off screen are also...

But that Tast mead knowledge is huge!

[merry pebble]

But i would bet you didn't go help with making a house foundation, handball practice and partying until 3am and drinking roughly 15 beers and unspecified number od shots yesterday, all of that on only 2.5 hours of sleep the previous night 😉

[steel mica]

👀

[merry pebble]

I really am going to get some rest tonight at least 😄

[analog pine]

What if we find potatoes in the Deep North for making vodka?

[merry pebble]

Then we would need a destilation setup to go with it 😄

[analog pine]

Stronger versions of mead, makes your vision blurry.

[nocturne wolf]

How would that be useful? More health or stamina won’t help if you can’t see anything.

[analog pine]

More of effect meads. Same movement, with a bit of blur.

[steel mica]

I rather have no mead than have my vision blurred

[analog pine]

That does offer a thought, though. Asatru did mention a distillation setup. Vodka for brewing, a crafting station for mixing meads together with vodka as the base, no blur. Is vodka lore-friendly, though?

[simple folio]

blurry vision and they add achievement if you maintain the buff for your entire playthrough 😂

[analog pine]

Achievement? What's that?

[simple folio]

they can only earned with blurry vision, so we need vodka in game first

[analog pine]

There's still the question of if it's lore-friendly.

[zinc valley]

Made the Ask outfit, damn man I'm fast as f*#k boiii

Staff of fracture slaps too

just got my first kill of the plains boss wooo

[steel mica]

Speed still goes to the finest full set of fenris armour with the potion of ratatotsk and asksvin cape, and fader ability

[dark coyote]

does moder work with askvin cape?

[halcyon thistle]

I think moder requires the sail

but they are reworking boss powers, so we could see that in the future

[dark coyote]

I'd rather boss powers be permanent passive buffs, albeit weaker.

[zinc valley]

I rarely use the boss abilities, mainly just the queens ability and the flying ice lizard dudes sailing ability hahah the rest are mediocre at best

[opal crater]

Is there a channel to find other people to play with?

[zinc valley]

The 1st boss ability came in handy so I won't rule that out

[dark coyote]

exactly, I used eikthyr when I was pulling a cart through the dark forest but that was it

[opal crater]

eikthyr is also good for mining

[pliant hatch]

Bonemass power "mediocrene"? You don't hear that often.

[zinc valley]

Hahah everyone a thug till they pulling a cart loaded with iron

[opal crater]

to keep stamina up

[zinc valley]

Bonemass ability is OK, not really the ability I need for my guy, time the blocking right and move strategically and your good

[dark coyote]

there is some build where bonemass compensates for weakness, forget how it goes

[zinc valley]

I don't doubt it, heaps going on in this game

[dark coyote]

there are many here https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 you may also have some luck searching "pw" or "pass" in the in-game community tab

[zinc valley]

You guys are on console right?

[dark coyote]

that was odd, I just got timed out

[vocal rivet]

I'd say most people are not on console, no.

[cloud fox]

is there a way to pause a server similarly to how you would in singleplayer? maybe via a command or anything? if not, is there a mod that allows that?

[vocal rivet]

The world pauses when there are no players in it.

Other than that, you might need a mod. Check in #mods-discussion about that.

[blazing cobalt]

You could use commands to stop time. I can't remember what it is but I recall seeing a tick speed command.

[hoary mirage]

does anyone know if the developers plan on fixing the Ocean at all? I mean as it stands, more than half the time I'm sailing in the ocean, its telling me I'm in places like the Black Forest or Meadows or Plains, but I'm clearly in the middle of the Ocean..

[vocal rivet]

Fixing what? It's not broken.

[hoary mirage]

Hm.. So if I'm in the dead center of the ocean with no land in sight, and it's telling me I'm in the Meadows, that's a planned feature of the game?

[vocal rivet]

Yes, the land is there, just under the water. The entire map has a land biome, but the game determines an area is Ocean based on the depth of the water at that location.

[hoary mirage]

heh...

In that case, I feel like they could do better.. I even thought there was supposed to be a whole Oceania update. So much could be done with the Ocean in general

[vocal rivet]

Of all the things that you might want "fixed" in the current game that really has to be the most minor.

[pearl oracle]

Hello guys, I'm new at this server
I just want know to if someone has a server with a group that I could join

[hoary mirage]

Yeah and all of these minor things that I want "fixed" all add up to a better game instead of "whoaaa, its the next biome unlocked!"

besides, Vikings are most known for their seamanship and exploration, and theres tons of water.

[dark coyote]

@hoary mirage all "shallows" are attributed to a biome

[hoary mirage]

yep, that was discussed already 🙂

Not besides what we post in #news

[analog pine]

Was Lord Reto supposed to be hard? I kinda sent my skeletts at him while lobbing vine spells. He could barely do much at all as he was pummeled to death.

[lusty dirge]

@near furnace I was hoping you could confirm something for me. Do you know if it is guaranteed in multiplayer, that a summoned Skelett is always owned (simulated) by the summoner instead of the current zone owner?

[lusty dirge]

Nvm

[tacit crystal]

Should be the summoner iirc. But you don't need to ping Smiffe for asking that.

[verbal blaze]

yo im looking to start a new game as a complete noob with ppl. who wants to play?

[mental linden]

[verbal blaze]

how old r u?

[lusty dirge]

I thought pinging Smiffe was okey, is it not?

[mental linden]

16 does this matter

[tacit crystal]

Most of us regulars can answer to most of the questions about the game. And to add, Smiffe is currently on vacation so I wouldn't ping him rn.

[near furnace]

It is as long as you know I won't reply until I open discord. Now working atm 😅

[verbal blaze]

got a mic right?

[mental linden]

yeah

[lusty dirge]

Sure, I wasn't expecting an immediate reply 😁
But it's not relevant anymore anyway, so just ignore my question

[mental linden]

ingame mic?

[steel mica]

After thinking a bit, I think the queen is the best boss for leveling up your skill second being bonemass

The queen can be spawned an unlimited amount of times its just that grinding the seeker soldier trophies are a pain

Ofc theres always the afk farms

[nocturne wolf]

But she's constantly teleporting away so you aren't hitting her as frequently as you would with other bosses

[steel mica]

does she dig away more when shes like half hp or even just having full hp?

[nocturne wolf]

She can dig at 90-0% health. The frequency doesn't change as her health decreases.

[steel mica]

For me atleast shes just the perfect boss to practice weapons its not for everyone to constantly fight a boss

[nocturne wolf]

Only fader has attacks that become more frequent with lower health

[steel mica]

other bosses die too quickly, except yagluth and fader

[long peak]

are you sure

yagluth too as i remember

[nocturne wolf]

Attacks that are unlocked/changed with different health values wasn't even a feature until the queen was implemented

[long peak]

to be honest i am sure about yagluths attacks gets more frequent when he is lower health maybe it was changed later than yagluth first release

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth always has the same set of attacks available. Fader unlocks 'intense' variants that have a reduced cooldown when he reaches certain health thresholds.

[long peak]

hmm maybe i dont know the meaning of frequent

[nocturne wolf]

The attack has a shorter cooldown so it can be used more often

[long peak]

is that mean more variation or more attacks per time

[nocturne wolf]

But nothing about yagluth changes with lower health

[long peak]

so i am understanding right maybe you should give a yagluth rty

i am sure about it

[nocturne wolf]

What do you think changes exactly? Should he be attacking faster?

[long peak]

it could have been changed later

yeah he is attacking faster when his health drops low

i just killed yagluth one or two weak ago again

[zinc valley]

What's the best way to kill the big dog in ashlands? The dude is a damage sponge hahah

[nocturne wolf]

Asksvins?

[zinc valley]

Nah the BIG dog

[nocturne wolf]

Morgens?

[zinc valley]

Feder or somethin

The boss

[long peak]

hahahahahahah big dog

that was a rememberable one

[nocturne wolf]

Iolite weapons work well since you can clear his groups of summons easily and they have high overall damage

[long peak]

anyway i have to go bb everyone

[zinc valley]

Currently the best I can do is avoid him and light him up with the Frost staff, doing almost no damage tho then his meteor strikes wiped out my portal hahaha

[nocturne wolf]

If you're using magic the trollstav can help a lot to distract him

[zinc valley]

I feel like I've skipped a few steps tho, I should he way stronger than I am I feel

Carapace is still my best armour

[nocturne wolf]

You should have flametal available for heavy armor, or the ask set for light armor

[zinc valley]

Nah no flametal, I picked some up but never got any armour recipes

The cathedrals were pretty brutal

[nocturne wolf]

You should get the recipes for smelting it, not picking it up

[zinc valley]

Lmao as if I didn't try n smelt it

Thanks dude, I knew what I have right now isn't gonna cut it

[nocturne wolf]

It's a mistake someone else made earlier

[zinc valley]

Bro do you realise how long it took to make the bells and summon this dude?! Like 5 hours man

What's another day

But mire than 5 hours tbh, more like 9

[nocturne wolf]

I've just tested it and it's not happening

[steel mica]

Go hybrid, going full mage and melee also works

But I found that going hybrid with mage+melee is good

[zinc valley]

Cheers, old mate just told me I gotta smelt some flametal, for some better gear, close combat is suicide rn

[steel mica]

You can down a mistland feast, a eitr food and other food of choice, sta or hea food

[nocturne wolf]

If you previously made a root harnesk or have materials to make one, bring it with you. All of Fader's melee attacks only deal pierce damage.

[zinc valley]

I got spicy marmalade and 2 eitr rich meals, magic is on like 180 roughly and stamina around the same while health is about 160

[steel mica]

I had full maxed out flametal armour

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a staff of protection you don't need to worry about health

[steel mica]

went full melee on fader

[zinc valley]

For real? Even them meteors and faders green fire? Cause that shit stings

I got the staff on lvl 3 or 4

[steel mica]

the staff of protect will absorb all in coming dmg

[nocturne wolf]

You should be able to dodge those fairly easily with mage armor. You could bring lightfoot mead (only if you also have feather cape or you take fall damage) and tonic of ratatosk for some extra movement.

[zinc valley]

Damn ok I better keep onto that

[steel mica]

once you defeat fader you get access to possibly the best food combination for all class

2 feast and one food of choice

[nocturne wolf]

That's only good if you want to use eitr

[zinc valley]

Nice! Seems I've still got some recipes to learn hahah gotta sail back home cause kujo blew up everything 😭

[steel mica]

I always eat them bc of how insanely good the stats are for the cost

both the mistland and ashlands feast are extremely cheap to make

the only time id only eat the ashland feast is when im going full magic but still the extra health and stamina is really good

[zinc valley]

Bro I got 2 black metal chests full of meals hahah gotta have them stats lol

[ionic elk]

Isn't it also very dependant on your blood magic level? If you're level is low it's probably gonna constantly insta-break in a boss fight

[nocturne wolf]

Bosses will often break it instantly because of the pickaxe and chop damage types that their attacks usually have, even with high blood magic skill

[ionic elk]

Aye a lot of their attacks would, still I'd aim to get that skill up a bit before using it in such a fight. I wanna do all the boss fights with just summons for the kek

[steel mica]

most of the time bosses will instantly break it especially the queen and fader because of their high pick and axe dmg

Its meant to be a get out of danger free card

basically a safety net

[ionic elk]

Aye well I mean it's very helpful to have it leveled up a bit to absorb more of all the area attacks and additional spawns. Often times the boss isn't the hardest part of the fight 🥲

[shy marlin]

🤙

Yoooooooooooooooo

[steel mica]

Howdy scales

the harnesk nerf is inevitable 🙃

[shy marlin]

Truly is

Real tho, considering how mad people got about the feather cape adjustments I really wonder how nerfing bonemass or harnesk will go

[indigo ravine]

Personally wouldnt mind imo slight changes to bonemass and buffs to others could work

[fading field]

need to ask before i fight moder but do frost defense effects stack, like frost mead and such

[steel mica]

I didnt see no difference in the feather cape because when I got there the weak to fire was already a thing

because it was my first time

plus its like a small change, you're still getting the benefit of no fall dmg and gliding and only one enemy in the mistlands to ruin your day

just be prepared, chug some of your fire res potion, and maybe take advantage of the Iframes of the roll

[shy marlin]

no

[merry pebble]

Nope, Cape and mead provide the exact same resistance and it doesent stack 🙂

[fading field]

ok i see

[tacit crystal]

Goood... Let the rage begin.

[normal flume]

omg is that the real scales

[steel mica]

BROTHER I JUST ACCIDENTALLY YEETED MY SLAYER SWORD INTO THE LAVA

😭

[severe yew]

Catapult? I did the same with a Mistwalker.

[steel mica]

SCALES NO LAUGH

[shy marlin]

[steel mica]

it was the lolite slayer aswell

atleast i have my backup brutal slayer

[analog pine]

It's strange, but I'm oddly curious what cooked serpent and bonemaw meat taste like. They're absolutely massive. I should be thankful we can't build toilets because of the resulting damage they'd suffer.

[tacit crystal]

Reload backup save.

[nocturne wolf]

Catapult yourself into the lava and save it

[shy marlin]

Another reason to never engage with siege machines

[steel mica]

too late for that

[tacit crystal]

There should be more backups than one.

[steel mica]

we live and die by our own faults

that includes yeeting your precious lolite slayer into the lava

[grizzled jay]

Hey is anyone here that whould like to play valheim with me (I'm new)

[merry pebble]

Look no further than #1024264966712340510 😄

[radiant loom]

Is valheim cross platform? I’m on Xbox is it possible to play with my friends on PC

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂 if they are hosting the world they need to enable crossplay option, if you are hosting then you already have crossplay enabled.

[radiant loom]

Thank you so much

[grizzled jay]

Thank you

[sour elm]

Hello everyone, where can i find server code or launcher?

[merry pebble]

Invite code or IP from the server host, and you can launch it like any other game from your device

[sour elm]

wait a sec is this dis.serv do not have just one server with mods for everyone?

[light moat]

I think you might be misunderstanding- there are no official servers 🤔

[merry pebble]

All valheim servers are player hosted/operated

[sour elm]

oh

i got it thanks

couple years ago i was playing on serv that made one guy. Serv was working 24/7 and he was host. I left game for some time and was trying to find kind same serv or something like that

[merry pebble]

Also it is designed as a singleplayer game in the first place, with the option to play with friends if you want to 🙂

[robust delta]

i booted up my old world to see what i was doing, and i forgot how cursed my house was

at some point i learned that you can hold shift to put boats™ on land, so i got 2 rafts just chilling on top of my abode

[whole salmon]

I have such a server. What level are you looking for?

[sour elm]

Normal or hard

[whole salmon]

I've been running on a vanilla server alone with a new character. I'm getting ready to fight Bonemass. I also have a vanilla server with crossplay that is completely new.

[analog pine]

I wonder if the ocean biome will ever receive an expansion? Could be a fun time to add seaweed. Or rum ingredients. Cinnamon. Sea-nnamon? Mmm rum. Or is mead enough? What IS under all that water?

[merry pebble]

We will have to wait and see 🙂

And nothing is there, ocean is just a plane/sheet that has a movement to it basically

[analog pine]

Tbh the biome is pretty bland. Just some serpents, fish, and leviathans. It could be nice to see more life breathed into it.

[merry pebble]

Well it is basically meant as a way to travel between other biomes afaik. But i agree it would be nice if it had a bit more stuff in it 🙂

[open pecan]

Fuling Pirates.

[analog pine]

Another thought is your ship getting destroyed and it basically being a death sentence. I wonder how viable it would be for the player to simply get sent back to the last bit of land they were on after nearly dying in the water with no food buffs and 1 health? Ocean-exclusive.

[quasi latch]

The poor guy whose first world has no elder spawns within 5000m of the starting spawn:

[merry pebble]

Its not that bad, you loose nothing except skills on death anyway, your stuff waits on you whereever you died 🙂

[analog pine]

Shower-thought. Troll pirates. Massive ship. Ocean dungeons.

[quasi latch]

Ocean dungeons would be a tad bit much imo

The others sound feasible though

[analog pine]

The ships would be the dungeons.

[quasi latch]

The troll pirates would need something with more brains and less hair below the waist telling them what to do because, like, trolls

[analog pine]

Can we loot their stock of sugar and spices to make Troll Cake? People keep telling me trolls have great cake, but I can't find it. 🍰

[quasi latch]

Okay, I stand corrected. That sounds pretty awesome.

[analog pine]

Is this cake a lie, too? Does it not exist? I was promised delicious cake. 😦

[vocal rivet]

What cake?

[quasi latch]

It probably tastes about as good as the troll bait.

[analog pine]

I wish we could eat trolls. So much meat.

[quasi latch]

We already have bukeperries

[analog pine]

You don't think bukeperries grow on moss, do you?

[whole salmon]

I was thinking about Ocean being flat. If they sold a headpiece that allowed diving it's not flat anymore.

[vocal rivet]

How would that even work? A cosmetic won't change the game engine?

[nocturne wolf]

You can already dive by jumping into water from a high place

[whole salmon]

I've gotten my iron nails back that way.

[pallid pecan]

The Ocean isn't exactly flat. Out of curiosity, I flew off the edge of the map and then into the side of the pushing waterfall that borders the map and zoomed around a bit at the Ocean floor. There's deeper parts, but it's all, much like the Deep North atm, empty save for a boulder here and there.

I'd love to see an Ocean biome update, with more enemies than just serpents.

[vocal rivet]

The Ocean is most assuredly a simple flat plane.

[merry pebble]

That was given movement ofc 🙂

So its wavy.

[unkempt rampart]

Have you tamed asksvin?

[merry pebble]

Works pretty much exactly the same as taming any other animal, what do you need helping with? 🙂

[vital umbra]

thats one of the things on my bucket list back when i wasn't burnt out of the game, have still yet to do that.

i am thinking perhaps i will speedrun to the ashlands with my friends in a new playthrough if the deep north is released before we all pass away

[cunning umbra]

Maybe a ghost ship shipwreck in the sea, with skeletons as the crew? No idea what could be rewarded, we arent too far in the game but i though of this going through the meadows caves

[flat vector]

I love valheim

[steel mica]

meadows cave?

[cunning umbra]

Idk the crypts or whatever that has some skeletons in it

[steel mica]

burial chambers

[hearty niche]

Steam says I have 3000+ hours into this game - I think some of that is early AFAK hosting time - but I think it would take me a minimum of 40 hrs to speedrun Ashlands. Just prepping for the journey to Ashlands is a solid 1/5 of the time.

Like if I did pure focused effort, no silly side quests (lol as if) or distractions, maybe 30 hours

[rancid talon]

If there are any Turkish players playing, feel free to send a message.

[vital umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-19493568

[dark coyote]

omg that would be a sick raid event for the ocean, they chase you down and try to board your ship

[heady parcel]

Gods below, the Ashen cape is awesome but that collar... I'm going back to the feather cape for now, that stupid underbite collar looks too stupid even for me, can't stand it.

[vital umbra]

its cool

[tender quiver]

How do I make it so mobs stop spawning around/in my base?

[steel mica]

place down either workbenches, a ward, or torches

[nocturne wolf]

Campfires work too

[tender quiver]

Torches and bonfires doesnt seem to work

Ill place workbenches everywhere

[nocturne wolf]

They should stop spawns within a 20m radius If they aren't working, workbenches won't be any different

Is there any way they could be getting in from outside?

[tender quiver]

I see, guess its the range then. Ill expand more torches out more

I built a pretty big castle in the mountains and drakes/wolfs keep spawning around the place

Thanks

[quasi latch]

If you're placing them in a grid, you'll need to place them closer than 20m apart because the range is circular

[acoustic comet]

Anyone got a lead on seom fresh, dedicated, slow moving servers with no mods? Older player here

[cloud fox]

Am i just really unlucky or did the game bug out? after clearing the entirety of a infested mine, hidden doors and all, i found 1 sealbreaker fragment and 0 black cores

[nocturne wolf]

That's probably bad luck

[drifting moss]

hi, which channel i can as about lag issue in game?

[tacit crystal]

Help channels, like https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 if you're on Steam.

[vital umbra]

i recount it rather foundly for the most part

except for my very first landing, that sucked ass.

[rain flare]

Hey there
I’d recommend using something with a visible radius like a crafting station
It makes it much easier to see if you covered everything properly or if there are small gaps where stuff can spawn

[vital umbra]

ahh sildar

hello and goodnight

[rain flare]

Heeelloooo 👋

Yes
Yes it is 😂

I’m not sure what we were expecting really
Did you see the animated trailer? 😂

[tribal perch]

Hi peeps. Long time no see (about a year). So do we get an update this year, or should I come back next year?

[unkempt rampart]

What I have heard, early 2026

[tribal perch]

sigh ...

[vocal rivet]

No date or period has been given.

[tribal perch]

I was hopping for a late summer, autumn update .. but oh well ...

[vocal rivet]

Well, we might get the combat one then. But I presume you're talking about Deep North / 1.0

[tribal perch]

mechanics updates/improvements are always nice, but I was hopping for a content update, yes

True tho. I even had to turn my death penalty down to casual cos I knew by the time I got the hang of it my skills would have been reduced to atoms

[craggy mason]

Does anyone have a gif of a valheim troll doing the fortnite dance

It's highly important

[merry pebble]

No, and no

[unkempt rampart]

Anyone uses Berserkir axes?

Is it worth it?

[merry pebble]

They are really fun to use 😄 you just have to be careful not to get absorbed into slashing away at enemies so much that you forget to check your hp.

[craggy mason]

Yes I love the thunder ones

[unkempt rampart]

Is there 2?

[merry pebble]

In total 4 types you can have 🙂 (1 basic and 3 modified versions of it)

[steel mica]

its the "you must do enough damage to stagger them" weapons

because if you dont stagger them you're getting hit no matter what

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️

[steel mica]

its especially true in the ashlands, morgens, valkyries, 1* warrior, 1* asksvin cant be staggered just by doing a melee combo you gotta parry them

the morgen is an exception bc if RNjesus is with you, the lightning can damage them enough to stagger mid combo

[shy marlin]

🤙

[weary egret]

Whats the best stone for a slayer? I usually run 2 hp foods and 1 feast and i play solo, would a bloodstone be the best?

[merry pebble]

If you have low hp at all times, then yes, blood slayer would be best, but if you usually have full or near full hp then i would say lightning enchantment.

[weary egret]

Ty i'll check my hp when i get there

[merry pebble]

The blood enchantments simply shine the most when you run more than 1 hp food and you voluntarily have your hp somewhat depleted

[weary egret]

Im still in plains tier but i cant wait to try 2h swords

[merry pebble]

First one is already in mistlands 😉 so you will not have to wait long

[weary egret]

Yeah, i think gonna cheat abit and check the map online for yagluth's summon

[merry pebble]

Usually sailing around edges of plains is enough to spot the altar itself 😄

[unkempt rampart]

Thoughts about The Ripper weapon? (Arrow)

[merry pebble]

Ripper uses bolts 🤔

[unkempt rampart]

Oh I'm sorry. Have you tried it?

[merry pebble]

Not much, i prefer bows personally 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Works same as Arbalest, deals more damage. Can be ||crafted with gems||.

[steel mica]

HAHAHA I JUST SAW ONE OF MY ASKSVIN TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH OFF THE MOUNTAINS

launched itself mid-air

[hybrid orbit]

anyone here have a pic of how big the mouse pad large extended is?

[merry pebble]

The dimensions are on the e-shop i believe 🤔

Yep, 90 x 40 cm (or 35" x 16")

[analog pine]

I know structures generally don't have a description in the build menu, but I lowkey want to see the description for the Catapult to be, "Pull the lever, viking!"

[merry pebble]

#suggestions are open 😄

[light moat]

Would be a good name for an achievement 🤔

[steel mica]

how long does it take for vineberries to regrow its berries?

[twin spoke]

yoo anyone here from SouthAfrica ?

[merry pebble]

Should be 3 hours and 20 minutes.

[steel mica]

non have regrown

[merry pebble]

They were always kinda buggy, i usually just scavange for them

[steel mica]

hm

[light moat]

If I’m remembering right, they’re bugged and basically reset their growth upon logging off.

[merry pebble]

Iirc it had something to do with unloading/reloading area where they are

[steel mica]

so basically it like hatching eggs lol, it resets

[merry pebble]

Eggs dont reset tho
At least not by reloading the area

[light moat]

Oh like when eggs lose warmth their timer resets? Haha kinda I suppose!

[quasi latch]

Or like how you can take power naps by repeatedly teleporting between a database and a lake ||I know that's not how databases work but just bear with me for the funnies||

Cross entire oceans that way

[wooden flower]

Magic is the best build in the game

Etir for the win

[unkempt rampart]

Are you allowed to post pictures here?

[merry pebble]

You can post screenshots of the game in #screenshots 🙂

[steel mica]

is it just me or items dropped in the ashlands dont despawn

like these grausten piles are still not despawning

[merry pebble]

Should despawn after irl hour, if there is not any player base item around

[steel mica]

these grausten have been like out here for like 3 ingame days

[merry pebble]

Did you sleep in that time?

[steel mica]

sleep sleep and sleep

yes

[merry pebble]

Then it might not be irl hour yet 🙂

Day in valheim is 30 minutes but you can go to sleep at noon to skip roughly 20-something minutes

[steel mica]

ok yeah items are not despawning for me

this asksvin trophy that I threw like awhile ago aint despawning

[merry pebble]

Are there any player base items nearby

[steel mica]

no these things are in the middle of nowhere

I have my main base in a fortress

[merry pebble]

So no rogue campfire, torch, portal, workbench or dvergr ward in vicinity?

[steel mica]

nope nothing

yeah confirmed items aint despawning, currently doing a foraging session and these graustens are not despawning

[merry pebble]

Weird, always despawned for me

[steel mica]

most of these items aswell are near fiddleheads and smokepuff

[merry pebble]

You could try to refer this to #steam-bugs-discussion 🤔

[steel mica]

@light moat too make matters worst

you wanna know what happened after that asksvin incident?

a fallen damn valkyrie got involved 😭

[light moat]

Of course, because what better monster to attack your Asksvin hoard than that

[proper wagon]

boating is fun

[steel mica]

crank up your graphics for maximum great view

[proper wagon]

only my vegetation and shadows are on medium lol

[valid python]

Oof! That feel when two things you wanna fight 1v1 both get on ya!

[steel mica]

thats not the problem

it attacked while I was butchering my asksvins

[valid python]

Ohhh that bat screen shot

Bat raids in the ashlands are kinda funny. Seeing the undead hoard swat at the stragglers after. Like seeing them swing and miss something its about 100 times stronger than XD

when do you guys think that combat update will come out?

[merry pebble]

We really have no idea, i would bet it will be before end of the year but it is pure speculation from my side.

[light moat]

I agree, I suspect Q4 of 2025 🤔

[austere python]

is there any brasilian to play a game from the beggining ?

[steel mica]

I kinda wanna play with a bunch of people when deep north comes out

[shy marlin]

Eh the slight lag in multiplayer turns me off

[steel mica]

go range

[shy marlin]

I’d rather play the game 😏

[steel mica]

So far the only biome in the game that doesnt offer any new kinds of animals are the swamp and blackforest

[steel mica]

Solo gamer chad

Im thinking, deep north is gonna have icebergs

it allows even normal ships to enter but the icebergs are environmental hazard that deal alot of damage to boats

[shy marlin]

i can see that happening

I still think it would've been much cooler to use the drakkar as a batter ram to break the spires in the ashlands water

Rather than slog through the ashlands ocean

[light moat]

You don’t consider the leech to be the ‘animal’ of the swamp? 🤔

[quasi latch]

Greydwarfs are basically animals

[quasi latch]

Surtlings.

[distant haven]

greydwarfs are basically annoying AF

[valid python]

Hmm, I know its sub-optimal... but I think I'd rather have the unenchanted Ripper at level 3 for the extra durability than a stoned one at level 2... hmm Hard to say atm as I only have 1 stone, a jade that I'm opting to make into a staff of nature.

And My first ruby will go to upgrading the forge

[distant haven]

i haven't made it to ashlands yet. I've made it as far as plains before

[light moat]

I prefer raw weapons personally. I like the look of them, and I find it interesting that they have extra durability

[distant haven]

it may take me a bit longer to get back to plains because I'm pretty sure the mountain I found is a dead end

[halcyon garden]

when is deep north supposed to release?

[quasi latch]

later.

[light moat]

We don’t have a date yet, but it’s likely still a good ways out. The next update will be the combat update. We don’t know when that will release either

[sour furnace]

I've heard that magic is OP, and I tried it on my 2nd playthrough, but I really just don't see it. It eats away at your stamina bar (no need for health if you spam shields) and often it takes 1-2 full bars of etir to kill an opponent, so it's slower and weaker.

Is it's whole thing that it's non-peirce ranged damage, so it's safer? Or is it how it bisects your stamina bar and makes managing it easier? I seriously don't get it, am I using it wrong?

.

The method I found is to always keep a bubble up, .maybe get sacrificial skellies before a hard fight, and spam fireballs until the enemy is in your face, then hold S and use the ice staff, after the mandatory 30 sec wait, ofc.

[tepid prawn]

ruby does not upgrade the forge unless thats some sort of mod thing

[tepid prawn]

It will release after the combat update, which we also don't know when that is coming, general consensus is 2026

nothing really confirmed about release date though, will be in #news when we know

[distant haven]

Never got that far. I think the root armor and huntsman bow are OP enough for me right now since I'm one hit sniping drakes from the base of the mountain to the top with wood arrows

[tepid prawn]

agree, huntsmen bow is best sniper bow in the game because it creates less noise then any other bow, root harnesk is only armour piece that gives pierce resistance (shield is not an armour piece and needs to be active to work) and also the pierce damage is very common in a lot of biomes

[distant haven]

I still don't even have permanent first resistance yet, I guess there are three options. Wolf cape, lox cape, or the Fenris armor

[tepid prawn]

yeah the mead is kinda annoying, better to use one of the other things if you spending longer time there

[distant haven]

Yeah, can't seem to get the last piece for the wolf cape. I may see how that huntsman setup works on a lox

The mountain I found though only has one cave, not enough hair for a Fenris part. I may have to go look for a bigger one

[tepid prawn]

I killed lox with finewood bow level 2 a few days ago haha

[steel mica]

well I mean yes

Its an animal but I wish there was something that you can tame

in the biomes

[tepid prawn]

technically black forest and swamp dont have tames

taming deer and leeches would be OP

[valid python]

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

[livid zenith]

Bloodstone does

[tepid prawn]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Ruby Gem cutter uses blood stone not ruby

[shy marlin]

I think they meant Ruby as in the bloodstone lol

Simple misunderstanding 😅

[tepid prawn]

Yes, I wanted to clarify, I could maybe have done it better 😅

now i feel like i need to look up how much rubies and the other ones sell for, ruby is best apart from the necklace I think in terms of coin

[steel mica]

access to medium healing potions and later blood bags used for blood pudding

but once you get in the mistlands both of them become obsolete because of better options

[tepid prawn]

yeah but used for a long time on slow progression server

[steel mica]

major healing
salad or egg omelette

They do become an issue when people are literally chowing down on plains tier food

but onion soup is always there

[tepid prawn]

onion soup and salad are goat

[steel mica]

very cheap to cook

and both are farmable

just the cloudberries you gotta do some foraging runs

[tepid prawn]

cloudberries is easiest forage in the game imo

[steel mica]

straight up in abundance

you go right cloudberries theres, you go left cloudberries there

[tepid prawn]

even having a plains base with a patch is often enough for a solo

[steel mica]

literally everywhere

[steel mica]

Yeah but if you plan to mass produce lingering sta potion, you best be farming alot of jotun puff and cloudberries

[tepid prawn]

both super easy

I still for some reason mostly use the other stam pot

[rain flare]

Farm all the goodies 🥰

[tepid prawn]

always be hustlin

[distant haven]

do battleaxes have really good parry or something?

[quasi latch]

They're below average at everything (parrying, attacking, cutting wood), but the fact that they can do all three will save you some inventory slots.

[shy marlin]

Well they're really good for wood cutting if you can hit 2 trees or more

[distant haven]

i'm trying to think of which weapon i want to go with for the mountain biome, I used a mace out of necessity in the swamp

[quasi latch]

I use battleaxe for swamp

[distant haven]

i'm past the swamp though and looking at crystal/silver type stuff

i do a lot of parrying and dodge rolling

does that crystal battleaxe cut trees better than the regular iron axe?

[shy marlin]

If it can hit 2 or more trees yes

[steel mica]

Sounds like its good for wood farms

more specifically those tree farms that are closed together

[shy marlin]

Yup

I remember being able to get 2 carts of wood in 20 min with the battleaxe + tree farm

[topaz prism]

this games great

[rain flare]

Battleaxe is amazing

[robust delta]

i remember trying it a long while ago and wasn't impressed

been doing a new solo run recently so eventually gonna give it a revisit

[topaz prism]

its probably really hard to get

i mean only from stone golems? no way thats an easy item to get

[robust delta]

i remember someone here was upset that it wasn't always available. biome gaps or something, but i don't remember when ur usually able to obtain one

[topaz prism]

its stone golems

iron?

[rain flare]

Battleaxe fits a very specific playstyle as you don’t have any real defence to speak of, and the main attack is soooooo sloooooooow

You have to focus on that secondary poke which has a high knockback and stagger for most fights, then try and use the main attack for hitting multiple enemies that are funnelled in your direction like in a dungeon, or if you manage to corner another mob and stagger them for a nice payoff in damage

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I also like that specific playstyle. In right hands it dominates masses: #memes-and-clips message

[topaz crypt]

Tried to go to the ashlands for the first time yesterday

Without beating the queen :/

[unkempt rampart]

How is it going for everyone?

[open pecan]

We're you able to recover your stuff? 😬

[topaz crypt]

It was a local game so my brother just used dev commands to teleport there, gave everyone their stuff back

We were not particularly impressed with that game design choice

[open pecan]

You don't like having to complete a boss before moving onto the next biome?

[topaz crypt]

Completing the boss is fine
Getting murdered by an unforeseen obstacle at sea for trying to explore, not so much

[merry pebble]

If you would have killed the boss you would get a BIG clue that you need something new to get there 😉

[tacit crystal]

When you noticed the boat getting damaged by water why keep going deeper?

[open pecan]

I think most bosses unlock the next biome so I can't really agree it's "unforeseen" but I get your annoyance.

[snow spruce]

It's also the oldest form of lineation.

[tacit crystal]

Game is meant to have linear progression.

[rain flare]

My first sea serpent says hello 😂

I always remember that one meme where you get riddled full of arrows for being in a biome you should visit just yet 🤭

Fairly Valheim accurate

[tacit crystal]

I know that meme.

Getting to new area, then immediately got impaled by one arrow/spear and near dead (2 or 3 HP left) then the volley of arrows following up while the character says they shouldn't be there. Right?

[topaz crypt]

I remember going from mountains to plains without much ceremony

Dragon tears are necessary for progression but only for equipment

A straight up “if you go here you die” type mechanism is vastly different from simply not being able to see in the mistlands

[undone forum]

It’s makes complete sense to me

[merry pebble]

As Joel said, you had chance to turn around when your boat started to take dmg, you didnt have to die at all

[snow spruce]

🤷‍♂️

[open pecan]

What about when you first went into the mountains and started to die?

[merry pebble]

I mean, what happened happened, its over already, but following the intended progression and not skipping bosses might be in order next time 😉

[silver warren]

Hey everyone

[topaz crypt]

I just had to backpedal a few steps to not freeze bruh

[rain flare]

That’s the one 😂

[open pecan]

But it's pretty much the exact same mechanic you're having an issue with.

[topaz crypt]

But this was at sea

[snow spruce]

Ah. The implication.

[rain flare]

You normally have enough time to get out a dodge if you aren’t sailing directly into those bloody Grausten ocean pillars

[topaz crypt]

It’s an open world game, I was hunting fuhlings while I was still in the swamp

[merry pebble]

Then you have to accept unforseen circumstances 🙂

[rain flare]

But since you said you were trying to get into the Ashlands I’m guessing you went straight in then noticed the damage 😅

Backpedaling on a boat isn’t so easy

[merry pebble]

Doesent matter, you go to area where you/your boat takes dmg from enviroment, if you backpedalled then, why not now? 🙂

[topaz crypt]

There was a big bone serpent thing spitting fireballs too

[tacit crystal]

Can't wait what kind of environmental effect will be at Deep North, but IMO it should need the ||Drakkar||.

[topaz crypt]

Chunked my boat instantly,

[open pecan]

Those guys are the welcoming party.

[merry pebble]

Another reason to go kill the boss first xD

[topaz crypt]

It’s not very intuitive at all

[open pecan]

Disagree.

[rain flare]

Ah.
Man’s really just jumped straight into the deepest end imaginable 😂

[vocal rivet]

The linear progression of the game is somehow unintuitive by the penultimate biome?

[merry pebble]

It really is 🙂 "go kill the boss before going to the next biome" that is what you learn aaaaall the way from start of the game

[topaz crypt]

“To build a stronger boat for the boiling water and fire serpents you don’t know about, you have to kill the bug queen”

[rain flare]

Man’s not listening to Hugin I think

[topaz crypt]

Hugin didn’t talk to me until after I died

[snow spruce]

Justseeking validation, I'd say. Nothing wrong with it.

[merry pebble]

Sadly there is not much of it that can be given

[rain flare]

The game doesn’t handhold like that
It just tells you in the dark forest that you shouldn’t be there unless you kill the right boss

It expects you to figure it out after

[topaz crypt]

Like I said, I was killing fuhlings when I was still in the swamp

Lol

[snow spruce]

I think I've lost the plot on all counts. You all have a good one.

[open pecan]

I'm just trying not to pile on at this point.

[tacit crystal]

Which is possible but harder with gear from 3rd biome against 5th biome enemies.

[merry pebble]

Same as it is possible, but harder, to get to ashlands without the propper equipment

[topaz crypt]

Tbh the boiling water is one thing

But the bone wyrm’s attack does damage that the longship isn’t meant to take

[merry pebble]

That is correct 🙂

[open pecan]

Just make the new boat my friend.

You'll love reaching the shore.

[topaz crypt]

So while we were maneuvering to avoid getting hit again

The boiling finished us off almost instantly

And then we wouldn’t have been able to get all our gear back until we went to the effort of making new gear to fight the queen

If we didn’t have cheats it would have been such a sour occasion

[open pecan]

What's the plan now?

[tacit crystal]

FAFOing has it's consequences.

[topaz crypt]

Fight the queen, obviously

[open pecan]

Obviously.

[topaz crypt]

Going near the plains or mistlands wasn’t anywhere near the same level of FAFO

At least there you can run back and skidaddle with your gear

[tacit crystal]

If you know what you're doing then it's fine to make small visits in biomes further.
Going blind is not usually a good idea.

[rain flare]

I can imagine 😅

It’s the one thing I can say that you learn in Valheim:

preparation, preparation, preparation!

Going somewhere new?
Prep a portal and portable base materials

Exploring a new biome?
You are going to die - good luck, have fun, make extra gear cause there is no “just incase” 😂

Rather over prep than under prep for this game

[rain flare]

Anything involving water in this game is a pain 😭

[topaz crypt]

Aye true that

[topaz crypt]

Man there is some novelty in running from seekers and fuhlings when underprepared

[rain flare]

I still remember when my friend and I were crossing an ocean for the first time - we made it over for the first trip 100%, but trying to sail back we hit a storm and a serpent who upended our karve 🤣

RIP sanity and will to live 😂

[topaz crypt]

That novelty was absent when our boat got chunked by a bone wyrm, we didn’t even get to see the ashlands

[rain flare]

The only escape would have been to try and climb onto one of those pillars then portal back home….

You did bring a portal with you right…?

[topaz crypt]

YES

[topaz crypt]

I’ve got like 300+ hours on the game I’m not stupid

We wanted Normandy not the Lusitania

[rain flare]

Aw damn….
I’m guessing you were just to far away to escape onto one

You can actually make your whole trip into the Ashlands over the boiling sea without having to sail if you don’t mind playing a buildathon

[rain flare]

All good then 🔥

[topaz crypt]

In other news

Found out it’s really easy to get a grey dwarf roommate

[little panther]

do you guys think they'll add armor slots to tb inventory?

[vocal rivet]

No.

You can already put armour wherever you like.

[little panther]

Like dedicated slots?

[nocturne wolf]

Why add armor slots specifically instead of slots for everything (which we don't need more of)?

[little panther]

Cuz it frees up the the slots you already have?

[nocturne wolf]

Which is what more slots for everything would do. No need to add systems for armor slots.

[little panther]

I feel like it would open up more spots for important items or resources. Later in the game those slots are important

[topaz crypt]

I do find my inventory feeling crowded by armor, makes me second guess experimentation with the magic set

[vocal rivet]

Having dedicated slots is just limiting. The current system is fine.

[little panther]

Magic set?

How is it limiting?

[topaz crypt]

I’ve said too much

[vocal rivet]

Telling you where things can go? Rather than just putting them where you want? That's limiting.

[little panther]

But you're gonna have the armor regardless?

[unkempt rampart]

Anyone else have problems with lag and sound lag in Ashlands?

[vocal rivet]

Exactly.

[little panther]

So why not have a spot dedicated for it?

[vocal rivet]

I genuinely don't understand the need.

is it that important they they go in a slot marked 'Armour'?

[topaz crypt]

More inventory space for deathsquito trophies

[little panther]

It's not the importance of the armor slot it's the purpose of freeing up your inventory for more things

[vocal rivet]

But it's not more, it's just relabelled, which is silly.

[topaz crypt]

You misunderstand him

[vocal rivet]

No, I don't think so.

[little panther]

Dude you have too be trolling me lol

[nocturne wolf]

More slots for everything would free up the same amount of space as more slots specifically for armor

[vocal rivet]

Exactly.

And we know we're not getting more slots anyway so it's all just moot.

[topaz crypt]

Pffft

[vocal rivet]

Good retort.

[topaz crypt]

I’m sorry Dive

[little panther]

I don't think they get it

[vocal rivet]

Yes, yes, somehow it is US that are wrong.

[topaz crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/wawa-emdeb-fail-failure-cat-gif-16703817715131368982

[little panther]

I saw there was a mod that adds them but I really wanna stay vanilla cuz the game is so good the way it is

And honestly it really wasn't a problem till like the plains

[vocal rivet]

By the Plains you should have learned how to manage your inventory.

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands is the only biome I can think of that really has a problem with the amount of unique items, plains is fine

[vocal rivet]

The number of times I've seen people complain about inventory slots and then see a picture of their inventory and it's just stuffed full of stuff they don't need.

[topaz crypt]

No design changes allowed in chat

[vocal rivet]

Not ones that have been categorically ruled out, no.

[little panther]

Oh is that the rule 😂

[vocal rivet]

And genuine suggestions can go in #suggestions

[little panther]

This is my first time in this chat lol

Forgot discords were so hardcore brother

[topaz crypt]

Now you know
dwarfs in grey

[valid python]

Meh just part of a community eco system. You need at least a few people deathly afraid of any change

[vocal rivet]

Who is afraid of change? Fuck me, how to completely misread a situation

[topaz crypt]

You tell ‘em Derek

[vocal rivet]

Oh I will.

[topaz crypt]

Heck yeah!

[vocal rivet]

I mean, you're first so God knows why you're so keen.

[tacit crystal]

What do you mean I don't need my cultivator when I raid fuling camps?

[valid python]

In any case you don't particularlly need the armor to try magic. You could try it with just a weapon and see if it feels like something you want to spec into

[topaz crypt]

Bro I feel attacked

[vocal rivet]

If that applies to you, I think we've proven our point.

[little panther]

This guy is hardcore bro don't try to change his mind, he's a rock

[topaz crypt]

You’re so right man

[valid python]

I would recommend root harness as a gear swap for plains! Trivializes the bugs, just take it off before you engage a shaman or torch fuling.

[vocal rivet]

It's not even my fucking decision, stop being so ridiculous.

[nocturne wolf]

You can use the wet effect for fire resistance if there's water nearby

[topaz crypt]

fuhling* decision

[little panther]

I'm sorry Dad

[vocal rivet]

*fuling if you're going to say it.

[topaz crypt]

I swear there was an H there what the frostner

[merry pebble]

Rule? Not sure what you are reffering to, but about expanding inventory, devs have said no MANY times, that is why Derek is saying it will not happen and if there would be inventory slots it would be re-labeling existing ones, not expanding inventory.

[little panther]

I'm just gonna go install the mod

[merry pebble]

Go for it if you think it will make you enjoy the game more 🙂

[valid python]

Hmm, to try and help alleviate the problem, I know it was joked on earlier but things you may not realize are in the inventory may be there. Such as Cultivator, Hoe, Perhaps older tools you've replaced, ect.

[tacit crystal]

Hoe can be useful especially in swamps but it's not necessary. Cultivator however you'd want to keep in your base.

[merry pebble]

Cant make me 😤

[topaz crypt]

Cultivator can double as a hoe if you only need to level the ground

Cultivating it doubles as leveling it

Passive farming xp too

Is it even possible to cultivate in the swamp? I think I read somewhere that nothing can be planted there

[steel mica]

As someone who likes to tidy up and clean things, I literally clean up all the mess in the fuling camp, I mean like even the dirt patches turning it in grass and all the structures

[open pecan]

What do you do with all the deer hides!?

[candid basalt]

I like to leave broken remains as a testament to my wrath

[tacit crystal]

Put them in deer hide chest.

[nocturne wolf]

You can plant ashvines, ivy, turnips and turnip seeds in swamps

[steel mica]

I give it to thee mighty thor

[open pecan]

That's a weird way to spell obliterator.

[steel mica]

Or ya know store it in a chest

[tacit crystal]

To clarify, to the chest I specifically store them.

[open pecan]

I was hoping there was a use for 2000 deer hide I hadn't come across because yeah, I also have deer hide chests.

[fickle urchin]

I think there's a viking in my shoe

[open pecan]

Maybe I can carpet my whole house in deer.

[steel mica]

You could mix a carpet with multiple different carpets to give it more texture

but tbh Lox Carpet is the best

Easily farmable

Just farm lox

[open pecan]

Yeah I like Lox and Askvin rugs.

I'm too low brow for jute.

[steel mica]

Not a big fan of the asksvin rug, looks like an oversize lily pad

[open pecan]

But it's a nice circle shape.

And then I can put them a few meters away from each other and leap from rug to rug frog larping.

[steel mica]

Not alot of circular buildables

[fickle urchin]

Man would be cool if there's a dragon tranformation

[open pecan]

What do you mean?

[fickle urchin]

Like the dragon torso thing from dark souls

[open pecan]

I'm somehow less informed. Like you want to turn into a dragon? I only played Elden Ring fwiw.

[fickle urchin]

Yeah like stone heart

[open pecan]

Sounds wild.

[fickle urchin]

I want to be fader

[open pecan]

Hell yeah.

[steel mica]

Now that I think about it... I think furniture itself can be used alot more than just being furnitures

[open pecan]

Go on...

[steel mica]

Though they are quite expensive but you can somewhat make them into your floor tiles

[open pecan]

Oh interesting.

[steel mica]

Especially the long darkwood table

Or even just the normal table

[fickle urchin]

I remember dying on a far off island and my ship is somewhere there

[steel mica]

offering different texture

[fickle urchin]

I love putting animal hide on a table

[open pecan]

Now I have to go find out how close the Askvin's rug is to the round table. 🤔

[fickle urchin]

Im not an interior designer
And my house always look ass

[open pecan]

I am very proud of my house, but I did sort of steal the idea from Vetlive.

[fickle urchin]

I want my house to be Compact and space efficient

[blazing cobalt]

I just got my wisdom teeth removed. Now I can play Valheim without any other responsibilities while I recover!

[fickle urchin]

Wisdom teeth do be acting unwise

[merry pebble]

Just dont drink or eat anything too hot or cold 😄

[steel mica]

Avoid eating ANYTHING that is remotely hard

[blazing cobalt]

Living on yogurt, apple sauce, and mashed potatoes.

[merry pebble]

Not really if you are carefull 🙂

[blazing cobalt]

Also, no straws

[steel mica]

Eat something chewy or
something that you can just swallow

[steel mica]

Speaking about wisdom eat, how did vikings even cleaned their teeth

[blazing cobalt]

The suction from the straw can remove the blood clots from the holes in my mouth.

[fickle urchin]

My teeth is pretty croocked

[topaz crypt]

Get this man some royal jelly

[blazing cobalt]

Supposedly their diet was generally good for dental health, but the high amounts of starch and ale did make cavities a common occurrence. They used toothpicks to clean their teeth and pulled rotten teeth to prevent further infection.

[topaz crypt]

The hidden cost of bonemass buffing before raiding the monasteries

[static ruin]

where the fun at

[steel mica]

Straight up yanking out rotten teeths

[topaz crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/wawa-emdeb-fail-failure-cat-gif-16703817715131368982

[shy marlin]

🤙 yoooo

[snow spruce]

Over. Pack it up.

[steel mica]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE LOCATED OUR FIRST 2STAR ASKSVIN!

[static ruin]

who is vin and why are the 2stars asking him

[steel mica]

MY HEART IS POUNDING A MILES ASECOND

I WANT THIS BIG BOY BACK HOME

[light moat]

#screenshots message @steel mica did you get him yet???

[steel mica]

Yep he is in a pit

with food and i am stranded with no food what so ever

just my seeker aspic

[light moat]

Grausten walls, campfires surrounding its, taming mead, lock him down!

[steel mica]

IM FAR FROM MY BASE

[light moat]

That’s what I did with mine, my heart was also pounding really fast LOL

[steel mica]

Im on top of putrid hole

[light moat]

Oh shoot, that’s tough 👀

[steel mica]

so im relatively safe

Well the asksvin despawn if I go far even if its in the taming process?

[light moat]

I had a similar setup; a deep pit literally right next to a putrid hole. Had a whole taming yard in the Ashlands lol

[light moat]

It will not, you’re good!

[steel mica]

So i can sprint to my base get all the stuff needed

[light moat]

Yep!

[steel mica]

ok night has fallen

[light moat]

Be 100% sure the taming process has started.

[steel mica]

YES HEART 😭

[tacit crystal]

If it hasn't started taming before dawn then it will, but if it did at some point then it won't.

[steel mica]

HEARTS SHOWING

[tacit crystal]

Then you good.

[light moat]

Oh! And remember to tame a second Asksvin so you can start breeding right away!

[steel mica]

am I good to sprint back home? 😭

[steel mica]

I already have a bunch of 1 stars at my fortress compound

[tacit crystal]

Once it's tame you can ride it to your Ashlands outpost.

[steel mica]

5% taming

Im just making sure before I dead sprint to my base getting all the nessecary stuff

[light moat]

Personally, I’d recommended breeding right away, so you can start getting 2 star eggs. My original 2 star Asksvin is long gone but his children live on lol

[tacit crystal]

Just wait. You can enjoy some taming mead to shorten the process.

[steel mica]

No like can I dead sprint to my base now to get all the stuff needed

Will it despawn if I go through a portal? 😭

[light moat]

So exciting! 2-star tames scratch the same itch as shiny Pokémon for me 😂

[tacit crystal]

Seemingly the taming has started so it won't despawn anymore.

[steel mica]

Ok im dead sprinting to my base

[light moat]

You’re good! Return to base to get supplies!

[tacit crystal]

Gotta find 2 star Morgen still!

[light moat]

I found one! It was terrifying lol

[cold elm]

What food are you using to tame the Morgen?

[tacit crystal]

I have encountered couple 1 stars but not 2 star one.

[light moat]

No taming, just the experience of finding one and defeating it

[steel mica]

my fortress is heavily defend with ballistas and ashwood stakes

[tacit crystal]

That's the neat part: you don't. 🫵

[cold elm]

Pfft. 2 star are only exciting for tames, any other is just a waste of ammo/stamina/time.

[tacit crystal]

More hits = more xp.

Shame we don't have... starred Valkyries.

[steel mica]

I have never moved so fast in my entirely life

[cold elm]

Pretty sure you can get same amount of hits if not more on regulars than dancing around a 2 star. Moar xp/hour. 🙂

[cold elm]

Make sure to place 3+ "base structures" to get a raid to spice up the taming 😉

[nocturne wolf]

It would depend on the enemy, some leave themselves more open than others

[steel mica]

I will fight to the death to protect this 2* asksvin

[torpid echo]

I am prepareing a modded Valheim run+world.
I have built a "starting" castle/keep.
Gathered a few materials, no bosses are killed on the world.
Would like to find some people to play with.
I can be online quite a lot just to host if necessary, Mon-Fri 8-10h. Weekends no schedule yet.

Anyone interested please let me know!

[light moat]

Man my heart rate has never been higher than the time a fallen valkyrie attacked me and my 2star asksvin, brutal!

[steel mica]

Dude just got attacked by one like rn

I FOUGHT TOOTH TO NAIL
