[foggy crest]

Uhh yah don't want to do that. Just want to be in game. heh

Was hoping to find a "direction finder" like the runes or something.

[scarlet verge]

was just giving a suggestion

[merry pebble]

https://valheim-map.world/ you mean this, but yeah, as Blob said you will get answers in #mods-discussion Moofy 🙂

[foggy crest]

Posted nearly an hour ago - no response LOL

[merry pebble]

Give it time 🙂 if nobody responds it quite likely that nothing like that exists.

[foggy crest]

I find it hard to believe there's no feature to make finding haldor easier in Nomap... that's kinda nuts LOL.

Not sure why they didn't include rune pointers like they did for the bosses.

Finding Haldor in nomap runs is nearly impossible for solo players.

[merry pebble]

Because the nomap is meant to be like that

[sonic drum]

finding haldor even with a map can be a pain sometime too, there are maps where all of his spawn points will be far out close to the edges of the map

[merry pebble]

You have to be very unlucky to get seed like that 😄 but it is known to happen sometimes indeed.

[sonic drum]

a group of friends that were playing for the first time had it happen to them on their map, they were done with plains and still hadnt found him

[merry pebble]

Oooof, yeah, really unlucky.

[sonic drum]

yeah =/

[steel mica]

Haldor has like the widest possible range of spawning on the map right?

compared to the other two hildir and bog witch

[merry pebble]

Yep

That was quick 😄

[fossil vault]

I thought that there were many messages that I didn't scroll through :D

[vocal rivet]

Imagine picking a hard game mode then wanting to make it easier.

[rocky nebula]

It’s more so that the undue challenges involved in finding haldor are much harder than the rest of the challenge

[analog pine]

The Megingjord sure is handy for hoarding loot. But the fishing stuff is just as good. It's nice to catch a 5-star fish and display it somewhere.

[scarlet verge]

how big are the player count spikes when valheim updates?

[tame patrol]

@near furnace how dare you

Take that back

[vocal rivet]

https://steamdb.info/app/892970/charts/#3y

[near furnace]

?

[tame patrol]

🙅 :<

[scarlet verge]

ty

[near furnace]

yeah.

so?

[tame patrol]

take it back

[near furnace]

done

[tame patrol]

oh

[vocal rivet]

I'm so lost.

[tame patrol]

where are you lost at? 😛

[near furnace]

Ember wants to be able to post multiple suggestions in 1 post in suggestion channel

[vocal rivet]

Ah. Then no.

[near furnace]

I suspect because someone doesn't want to wait the timer..

[tame patrol]

its so looong

[near furnace]

yeah

to PREVENT SPAMMING

want me to help you ?

[tame patrol]

all i do in life is wait 🙄

[near furnace]

[near furnace]

100% of your suggestions. are ♻️

or build from chests

[celest acorn]

Day two of the pancake revolution of 2026

🥞

[vocal rivet]

So what WAS the suggestion?

[celest acorn]

Pancakes in the deep north

[quasi latch]

Throw that one in with the battlepass

[celest acorn]

Nah, throw in a flying mount instead

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message

Just to be allowed to make more suggestions in one

[vocal rivet]

Please tell me you're joking.

[merry pebble]

I was taught not to lie tho 😄

[lunar sapphire]

Can you help Subject find a beehive?

[merry pebble]

[steel mica]

That is so unlucky tbh

[lunar sapphire]

You've lost the bees

[pliant hatch]

Does that mean the bees are unhappy?

[shy marlin]

Pancakes in valheim

[last elm]

There’s giants in the game? Saw one when I was exploring near the edge of a mountain biome. Wanted to shoot it so bad but didn’t want it to chase and kill me

[lunar sapphire]

You're either referring to ||Trolls (Black Forest Biome) or Stone Golems (Mountain Biome)||

[quasi latch]

Trolls are forest-tier enemies. Real pain in the ass the first few times around

[last elm]

Nah, it was blue I think and in the mountain biome

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like a Troll ventured into the Mountains Biome

[quasi latch]

Trolls are big blue fucks with enough ass hair for 5 generations of human history, golems are animated rocks

[lunar sapphire]

questionable description

[last elm]

Yeah, definitely a troll. So those things are just in the Black Forest?

[quasi latch]

Yep. Rarer spawn than most enemies but far from an endangered species.

[last elm]

I explored the entire Black Forest near my base and didn’t find one at all. It’s not that big of a biome but still a pretty good size

[lunar sapphire]

Yep, Valheim thankfully features a mechanic where mobs of different biomes are classed under different factions.
The factions mechanic allows for mobs to fight each other without the players assistance. Mostly seen through Skeletons VS everything else in the black forest 😄

Usually bordering biomes for example meadows and swamp has boars entering the swamp and therefore slaughtered as a result.

Nice mechanic which livens up the 10th world of Midgard

[quasi latch]

It would be really funny if some biome had an enemy with harpoons so that they could pull ||serpents|| out of the water and fight

[last elm]

Might have to go back and challenge that troll then. Google said they are weak to arrows and are slow

[undone forum]

Slow...... kinda, weak to arrows...... totally especially fire arrows

[quasi latch]

They're also weak to dodge rolls.

[tame patrol]

can blast furnaces really only cook 1 thing

[steel mica]

Nope

[tame patrol]

what else does it cook

[steel mica]

Progress and find out

[tame patrol]

I just opened it and its only cooking black metal...

[steel mica]

Dont wanna spoil it

[steel mica]

Yes blackmetal for now

Later on your gonna need it

[quasi latch]

Why are you cooking black's metal? Did you ask them first?

[steel mica]

what-

[tame patrol]

thats a dumb question

[steel mica]

[latent cedar]

Hello, Im just trying to look for beginners to play with. If anyone can point me into the correct direction, that'll be much appreciated.

[lunar sapphire]

Hi, welcome to the discord 👋
The best channel to find other players to enjoy Valheim with is the #1024264966712340510 channel
Just make sure to read the posting guidelines of that channel before posting 😛

[simple folio]

2 star seekers are not nice, I went splat

[snow flicker]

2 star seekers, gross

[serene talon]

2 star seekers ew

[azure crag]

Wait until you meet 2 star of (Morning in German)

[restive silo]

I just want to check, there’s no way to get black metal without killing Moder, right?

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂

She is the one "hard" lock on progression 🙂

[tacit crystal]

You can kill fulings and get black metal scrap, but you cannot process it to ingots without killing Moder.

[restive silo]

There’s no random buildings in Ashlands made from Black metal to dismantle?

[sonic drum]

nope

there isnt anything in the game that is made of black metal that is spawned naturally

[restive silo]

Is there refined flametal in chests in Ashlands?

[tacit crystal]

No.

[restive silo]

Trying to figure out if it’s possible to get a level 5 cauldron without killing moder, I think maybe no

[merry pebble]

No it isnt

[tacit crystal]

Nope, 2 of them require either black metal or flametal.

[rich veldt]

is silver arrow weaker on ashlands mobs than ice one (and why)?

[sonic drum]

im not sure but if for any reason it would be, it would be for spirit damage alone

[tacit crystal]

Silver arrows are better against Warlocks and Lord Reto than Frost arrows, since both resist cold. All charred are weak against spirit.

[rich veldt]

yeah, so if regular charred are weak both to spirit and ice them why ice arrows are better 🤔
(and is it a good balancing choice since silver should shine at least partially in a demon-undead biome I think)

[tacit crystal]

Technically they don't resist but are not weak against frost damage, so Frost arrows deal normal damage, but they resist pierce, which is why Frost arrows are still good against them.

[rich veldt]

but same about spirit?

[tacit crystal]

All charred are weak against spirit.

[rich veldt]

yeah. is why i was wondering why silver arrows are worse than ice ones on regular charred

neutral to ice vs weak to spirit

since mointain already has obsidian arrows as regular ones, seems like silver ones should've been as heavily specialized on spirit damage as the ice ones are on, well, ice

[steel mica]

If IronGate adds an even greater great sword

I will be the happiest viking on the 10th world

[merry pebble]

The problem is that the spirit and frost of both types of arrows is not in the same ratios, if silver arrows had the same spread of dmg as frost arrows they would be quite a bit better imo

[rich veldt]

I was having a blast swimming from a spire to spire in ashlands sea, getting closer to the shore with each spire I climbed out on to rest. Until I met one I couldn't climb on. lol

and that's with barley wine btw, which afaik extends the duration you can swim in there

the distabce between a lot of spires is prettu huge. Maybe that's cause I didn't take my ship farthest I could, instead trying spire hoping from the first spire I met

[merry pebble]

Nope, it provides fire resistance, not heat resistance.

[rich veldt]

Hmm. I remember reading it would take more time swimming in ashlands waters with it until you start getting boiled

[steel mica]

Im still remembering my first time going to ashlands where I did not gett absolutely harassed by bonemaws

0 attacks

[merry pebble]

That is with certain ashlands armor 🙂 which provides the mentioned heat resistance that helps with the boiling waters and the lava.

Barley wine provides fire resistance that helps you when you are on fire

[rich veldt]

huh, maybe I got it mixed up then

If you're right then I wasted half a dozen of em for nothin lol

[merry pebble]

Meh, they are cheap 😄

[steel mica]

The idea of lava/heat resistance potion came to my mind once but realized its quite useless because once you step in too far you're gonna melt fast

[rich veldt]

should I try swimming on a raft between two spires? (I imagine it, if doesn't break before i reach the next spire, would let me place workbench on that spire and have an easier time jumping on it)

[steel mica]

How did you even get to the ashlands without making the new boat

Oh wait public tester

The raft would break too fast honestly

[rich veldt]

Im doing a second game with progress breaks

[merry pebble]

Even longship breaks quite fast once you get a bit further in 🙂

[rich veldt]

darn it

[steel mica]

But with feather cape you can reduce the time you're in the boiling water

By gliding to the next spire

[rich veldt]

yeeeah I already thought of it. Guess I'll have to make that cape

[steel mica]

Thats what I did when I launched myself in ashlands with the catapult

Did not get very far so I just jumped from spire to spire

[merry pebble]

Yeah but to get catapult you first have to get to ashlands 😄

[steel mica]

I was trying to get drynwyn

But didnt wanna make another base in another ashland island

[rich veldt]

The thought to reach ashlands as early as possible in a save with my friend just to get the molten cores excites me, but I haven't even done it myself (in solo save) yet... so will need to figure it out

[steel mica]

Theres only 2 ways to get into ashlands
A - you use the drakkr
B - you use longship and get as close as possible to a spire and glide from spire to spire

[merry pebble]

Or any other ship 🙂 its possible even with raft to get to spires, you just have to be a bit lucky with world gen.

[rich veldt]

imagine your ship crashed near an unclimbable spire lmao

[steel mica]

Spires boarding the ashlands ocean boarder

[rich veldt]

I know

and of these mfers wasn't. climbable.

[steel mica]

Death by 3rd degree burns

[rich veldt]

it didn't help that since I was closer to the shore it wasn't storming anymore (i was moving slowly, not on longboat). Otherwise the waves would help me to climb on it

[steel mica]

Ashlands sailing theme best sailing theme

[rich veldt]

Anyway what followed next was a fun series of deaths (thanks to gods' mercy) in which I retrieved my corpse, swam a bit closer to the previous spire and got boiled down again, until I could finally got back with my stuff

btw didn't think of using core wood to bridge further. Simple idea I should think of more often

[steel mica]

ist it 2 for a 4m log wall?

I cant remember honestly im just getting as much corewood as I can

[merry pebble]

Only one build piece for 4m

[rich veldt]

i thought "do some people bridges between spires with iron beams?" but that seems just wild

[steel mica]

too expensive

and heavy

[merry pebble]

Iron is hard to transport there without enabeling portaling metal

[rich veldt]

tho whatever I wouldn't do for sweet feeling of taking on queen with ashlands gear

[steel mica]

The queen is free royal jelly farm

and seeker meat for seeeker aespic

and other recipes

[merry pebble]

Infested mines are free royal jelly farms 😄

[steel mica]

do seeker soldier respawn in the infested mines?

or just broods and regular seeker

and ticks

[merry pebble]

Regular seekers for sure, but i meant the jelly piles 😉

[steel mica]

Good source aswell

[merry pebble]

And they respawn every 4 hours 🙂

[steel mica]

I prefer the queen bc not only am I getting free jellies and seeker meat, Im also leveling up my skill

on whatever weapon im using

[merry pebble]

And only normal seekers and ticks respawn as enemies in infested mines 🙂

[steel mica]

IM are probably the best source for bloodclots

Gjalls are still dangerous to fight especially with feather capr

Fire dmg is no joke

[merry pebble]

Meh, not really once you know them and have mistlands level gear

[steel mica]

Ive been ambushed so many times by Gjalls

[tacit crystal]

Any challenge ideas?
I've done 3 perma runs, all without magic. First was regular, second was bow only and third was 2h weapon light armor bowless run.
I have ongoing hard diff world but I feel bit unmotivated to continue that.

[near furnace]

pantless?

no map?

[tacit crystal]

Don't know about no map, or no portal one.

Maybe at some point, but not feeling like one.

[near furnace]

reverse order bosses?

[tacit crystal]

Not so familiar with all them glitches like getting to Queen's lair without sealbreaker.

And still might want to stick with permadeath.

[dark flare]

If you know how long it generally takes you to progress through each phase of the game.

You could try time trials for each boss.

[tacit crystal]

I'm generally well experienced with progressing all biomes.

[tacit crystal]

What does this "time trial" mean then?

Setting timer to get the certain boss killed under?

[dark flare]

Lets say you normally take half a hour to kill first boss. 3 hours for second.

Set a time limit to do so before it expires or you fail.
Such as 20 minutes and 2 hours.
However you wanted to set that up

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, interesting idea.

I still usually like to take my time, but that could be one for the future.

Because I like to build too usually in my runs.

[dark flare]

It would also be something to research over a few more play throughs.

Every time you play. Track your progress on a timesheet.

When you decide to play with a limitation. You know your current experience limits.

[tacit crystal]

I'll take notes on that. Good idea for later time.

[dark flare]

One of my goals is working towards being a speedrun player. Learning a little each playthrough to be faster.

[tacit crystal]

My perma runs have been limiting some gear options, like my 2h run I limited using bows/xbows and armor that reduces ms, so that included also Root Harnesk/set. I used spear as my only ranged option too.

[dark flare]

My nephew and I did a rank 1 troll armor playthrough last time.

On very hard. We died. A lot.

[tacit crystal]

Playing through only with troll armor?

[dark flare]

Yes. He is the self proclaimed king of rolling.

[tacit crystal]

Oh, not a king of trolling?

Hmm, absolutist run? Meaning no meads.

[merry pebble]

Could be fun 😄 good luck with Yag

Tho for him and bonemass there are armor pieces that can give you the resistances

[tacit crystal]

I've beaten Yag while wearing Fenris set before, so not that bad. Or just getting wet to get short temporal fire res.

Yag dealt quite lot damage in Hard diff even with fire res wine. I got myself constantly wet to reduce the burning debuff.

Mountain could be challenge at first without frost meads.

[merry pebble]

Lots of campfires needed 😄

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, or if I can find early mountain cave.

[merry pebble]

I would try to get just few pieces of silver as fast as i can using campfires and them going for some loxes to make cape 😄

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, also depends what weapon types I exclude.

Bow would be easy.

[shy marlin]

No food. It’s time.

[tacit crystal]

I'm not that extreme. 🥲

I thought you were rioting over pancakes too.

[near furnace]

worst case. if we would to add panncakes, people would be upset that they "are the wrong type of panncake" 😄

not even sweden labels panncakes the same across the country

[balmy seal]

Damn it, stop making me hungry

[tame patrol]

People get upset if you breath the wrong air. I stopped caring what other people want a long time ago lol

[near furnace]

this is not panncakes

[tame patrol]

No. 😈

[tame patrol]

Those are flap jacks

[balmy seal]

Pikelets?

[near furnace]

this isn't panncakes either

[balmy seal]

Whatevs, I'll eat it all regardless.

[vocal rivet]

That is nothing like a flapjack.

[near furnace]

this is a panncake

made in the oven

like normal people

[tacit crystal]

Yeah those are crepes.

[balmy seal]

Ovencake

[tame patrol]

Im offended your using the word normal

[vocal rivet]

What is wrong with everyone?

[tacit crystal]

For normal Nordic people?

[near furnace]

I mean.. we invented the damn thing

[balmy seal]

I'm offended that you're uploading pics of all this delicious food and I can't eat any of it.

[tacit crystal]

You can make some. 🍽️

[tacit crystal]

Hmm did we? Wasn't aware.

[open pecan]

[citation needed]

[balmy seal]

Sauce?

[vocal rivet]

To be fair, only Smiffe is uploading images. We can't

[near furnace]

I don't count the greece people. but swedes have done pancakes since 1538 atleast 🤔

[open pecan]

I didn't know we could ignore entire populations of people. In that case I invented the Onion Ring.

[tacit crystal]

Hmm yes, the origin of that kind of pancakes that are made in oven is from Nordics. There are also many variations in other countries.

[vocal rivet]

I wonder why we call crepes pancakes.

[near furnace]

a Crepé is a thinn pancake

and they have more egg than normal pancakes

and you fill crepé with wierd stuff

[vocal rivet]

I don't.

[near furnace]

crepé

[vocal rivet]

Pancake. 👆

[near furnace]

both are crepé

[vocal rivet]

Oh, you can do that but I'm happy with maple syrup.

[merry pebble]

According to few articles even old romans and greeks had a version of thin, sweet pancake 🤔

[vocal rivet]

Greeks don't count remember.

[shy marlin]

I'm having fun with no metal perma but i'm only 1 attempt in so that might change

[near furnace]

Swedish Pancakes

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk (+ 1/4 cup – see notes)
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Crepe

2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted

[vocal rivet]

What's this cup nonsense?

[near furnace]

americans

do you want in DL, CL, DL ?

[vocal rivet]

Ugh.

mL.

[near furnace]

now you're just making stuff up

pretty much all are done with DL

[vocal rivet]

What the heck is a DL?

[near furnace]

Deci Liter

dL

DL could also be roman numerals

[vocal rivet]

Ah, a dL. Gotcha.

[near furnace]

[near furnace]

nono. that's a specific meassurement

[vocal rivet]

I don't dare ask.

[wind depot]

Good morning, I was watching the trailer on Steam for the game Project: Gorgon, and I saw that some items were almost copies of some of the forge items in Valheim. Is that normal?

[vocal rivet]

Almost copies or actually copies?

Unless there's another Project Gorgon I don't see anything similar to Valheim in this MMO from 2018...

[wind depot]

Minute 0:21 of the trailer.

[spare quail]

The models do look really really similar to the grinding wheel, forge cooler and forge bellows.

[vocal rivet]

You know they look similar because they're both based on real things, right?

[quiet robin]

you stack'em up, about 6-8, pour syrup on'em then roll'em up. 🙂

pure maple syrup btw, not that "other stuff"

[vocal rivet]

See, this is why we keep you lot around.

[quiet robin]

oh, and cups are the proper measurements!!!!

(stupid metric nonsense....)

[vocal rivet]

Cups aren't even a measurement, they're a vague suggestion.

If you wanted Imperial liquid measurements you'd used fluid ounces.

[spare quail]

🥲 this guy

[quiet robin]

bzzzt! I still have stuff that measures in cups etc. and yes, it used fl oz. Measure cups have both imperial and metric on'em here. (for those of us that grew up with proper imperial measurments) 😄

8oz = 1 cup.

[spare quail]

1 cup = 250 ml

[vocal rivet]

Hate to break it to you but the Empire is gone. And you left anyway.

[quiet robin]

(except for coffee, that's different) 😛

MY Empire is still here. 😛

[vocal rivet]

backs away slowly

[burnt glen]

Should I start a vh world?

[lilac badge]

is there a creative mode in this i think i turned it on accidently i just managed to place 8 bee hives with 1 queen bee. how do i turn it of?

[pliant hatch]

Leave the game, load your map and switch to the "world modifier" part.

You most likely have turned the "no build cost" modifier on.

[lilac badge]

ah right thanks alot

[thin fractal]

does anyone want to start up a new word?

[humble pewter]

Gotta be something off with the (limited) water on your island smiffe, ugnspannkaka is what that is. Pannkaka is as the name implies made in a proper frying pan you heathen..

[near furnace]

I think they are the same models 🤔

[near furnace]

SmiffeGifs/hour or Smiffe Chat Derails / hour

[vocal rivet]

Left over from when things came from the asset store?

[near furnace]

possibly

[vocal rivet]

The game has been out longer than Valheim.

[near furnace]

don't know exactly what is from that time or not

the boar and deer I know 100%

but there are a bunch others probably still around from that time

[vocal rivet]

Either this isn't a clone issue like some of the others. It's a very different game.

[light moat]

At this axe throwing bar me and my friends go to, there’s this game you can play (it projects the game onto the board) that has these boar you have to aim at, and we always get a good laugh because they’re exactly like/similar to the Valheim boar 😂
“Aim for the Valheim boar! Double points for 2 star!”

[lilac badge]

Just a question are all bosses bow based?

[vocal rivet]

I don't think any of them have a bow.

[lilac badge]

Sorry I meant like mainly requiring a bow to damage them ?

For example the first boss everyone says use a bow to kill it but is it possible with just melee?

Because ranged just seems to easy

[quasi latch]

No, many bosses resist pierce damage to prevent bow spam, in fact.

[lilac badge]

Oh great thanks

[spare quail]

Yes it's possible to melee, it's more fun too imo

[nocturne wolf]

All bosses can easily be killed with melee weapons, but one can fly temporarily making melee less viable

[quasi latch]

Faster to melee as well

[lilac badge]

Ah right

How many bosses are in the game currently ?

[nocturne wolf]

7, and there will be one more with 1.0

[spare quail]

7, 3.5 mini-bosses

[lilac badge]

Ah sick

[open pecan]

Who's the .5?

[spare quail]

Sealed tower has 2 mini bosses but it's the same ''quest''

[open pecan]

Ahh gotcha.

Maybe the one guy in Ashlands could count, too.

[spare quail]

Very true, that's somewhere between mini and boss too

[open pecan]

Yeah he eats my lunch for sure.

[nocturne wolf]

He’s just a miniboss

[open pecan]

I'll just tell myself that next time I am about to go into his lair.

[celest acorn]

[robust dagger]

I am looking at using the "Equipment and Quick Slots" mod. We have a G-Portal server. Does everyone need to have this installed to play together?

[frigid gust]

You should ask in #mods-discussion for things involving mods. The main channels are for the game as it's designed.

[lapis lion]

TinyHomeGaming on the case. Love it! Thanks @frigid gust

[hardy gate]

When is the far north?

[vocal rivet]

We don't know when the Deep North will be.

[tacit crystal]

Everyone asking when Deep North, no one asking how is Deep North.

[shy marlin]

Most likely not in 2025

[hardy gate]

As long as it's not as shitty as the ashlands

[vocal rivet]

Ashlands isn't shitty so I don't know what to say.

[shy marlin]

Ashlands certainly has its failures but it's not shitty

[hardy gate]

not a very unique biome, and boring in addition

[sonic drum]

how is it not unique?

[vocal rivet]

Probably one of the most unique biomes in the game, but I can get the boring.

[hardy gate]

Metal based on the Leviathan principle, the same dwarves, skeletons, current slightly modified, there is no meaning in fortresses at all

This is purely my opinion.

[vocal rivet]

I know.

[sonic drum]

the dwarves arent exactly the same they are a completely different mob then the ones found in ashlands, the fortresses are one of the few places in the game you can build a base that cant be destroyed by mobs

[shy marlin]

Can be destroyed by mobs tho

[sonic drum]

the stairs yes the walls no

[shy marlin]

I think Fader can destroy all of it 🤔

[sonic drum]

spikes as well cant be destroyed by them either

i cant speak for what fader can do i havent fought it yet

[hardy gate]

dwarves are dwarves, a fortress is meaningless because a battering ram loses its direct purpose, the central tower can generally be broken with a pickaxe, and you can clear it of mobs with one staff without getting a haircut.

The only Fader is an awesome boss, that's probably the whole uniqueness of the biome, and in the side quest for the sword, but not in the sword

[sonic drum]

the battering ram and catapult arent that useful when you can just go over the walls i can agree there

i still find it to be very different then other places in the game even if there is some similarities, to some extent thats to be expected at least imo

[hardy gate]

Each biome was unique in almost everything. Here, in the ash lands, it's just a little bit with some developments.

[daring sinew]

is there a way to remove biome structures so that the different music doesn't play

[hardy gate]

Probably not

[sonic drum]

there are things that are in multiple biomes thoughout the game as is, i would have to say the most unique ones are plains/mistlands and to some extent ashlands more then the others, the others have some of the same mobs and vegetation, the only thing plains has that isnt unique to it is birch trees but even those themselves are some what unique

[median ibex]

Just spent a half hour sorting out some Boar taming, one of the Boars being 1-Star, only for a Greydwarf Raid to immediately hit and then a Shaman AOEs both to death because I didn't have time to set up a wall to keep Raids away from the pen...

[undone forum]

Fortresses are literally key to the ashlands

[dark edge]

why has no one done one of those 100 players simulate civilization videos in valhiem

[sonic drum]

caps at 10 pretty sure

[dark edge]

mods

[vocal rivet]

The game will fall over long before 100 and is completely inappropriate for that sort of thing.

[near furnace]

some students in the US managed tons of users. can't remember if it was 50 or 150 🤔

[steel mica]

100 players would literally be a stress test for the game

[vocal rivet]

That would serve no purpose for a single player game with optional co-op.

[sly quail]

there are 100 player servers, there's that one riverheim one that's 100 person that a bunch of twitch people regularly stream

[last elm]

Are troll trophies used for anything?

[unkempt rampart]

Yes

[last elm]

I have 2 but no recipes yet

[violet inlet]

it would be fun.

[sharp tartan]

Valheim as a single player game is so depressing and less fun. It's much more like a co-op game with optional single player

[light moat]

Wouldn’t both solo and co-op both be optional? 🤔

[steel mica]

If you have friends to begin with

I dont 🥲

I am solo 99% of the games I played

[lilac badge]

Are duel blades a thing in valheim im feining for a pair

[sonic drum]

they are yea to some extent, you cant exactly dual wield but you can get weapons that act like that

[lilac badge]

Oh would you happen to know which weapons I could get ?

[sonic drum]

daggers and axes i think atm

[lilac badge]

Sweet thanks

[simple folio]

I've tamed some pet boars and wolves so I never have to play alone 😂

[lilac badge]

Thats a good idea

None my friends wanna buy the game cause it looks "boring" a pack of wolves will do

[simple folio]

hrmm I opened a door in a mine to find a whole buncha seekers, a soldier, a 2 star, a 1 star and a few regular seekers... i've got a few bodies in there now lol

this mine is brutal, 3 soldiers in it so far and half a dozen 1 star seekers but i did get 4 sealbreaker frags

[sonic drum]

black cores is what you really want, youll only need 9 of the seal breakers; also the brutes usually cant fit through doorways so use that to your advantage

[simple folio]

i got 6 black cores from it too, i don't think i need anymore of those tho, least not for now, i think I'm ready to go get murdered by the queen tomorrow

[sonic drum]

youll want more then that at least 10 depending on how you play probably more later on

if you got the forge and the refinery for the time being that should be all you need if you want go magic at any point youll need to get some more

[fossil delta]

It would appear that the developers have changed how much silver gets generated in mountains. We have never found so many veins in such close proximity, on one mountain before. Which I think is fantastic, but it does cut down on how many mountains we need to explore. Could be just an exceptional result for the world creation. Then again, several of the early mountains were barely big enough to even have obsidian. So maybe it still tracks with how it used to be.

I do get a kick out of the new skills, and how they can give you extra crop items, or extras arrows, things like that. I recently got 20 extra onions from a 300 onion harvest. so that was nice.

[torpid echo]

How do I delete/remove an LFG post i made?

[agile peak]

I've not been able to find more than 2 cultists in 4 large'ish mountains, so I'm still exploring many mountains

[solar vector]

Can we have shaders in valheim ?

[nocturne wolf]

Shaders? Valheim like any game already has a bunch of shaders so you can actually see things, but there might be mods which change or add some for whatever reason. #mods-discussion

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @near furnace Looking at the horizon, it seems like there is land route in that direction.

[near furnace]

probably a huge lake between start and eikthyr

[tacit crystal]

That remain to be seen.

I've decided the challenging aspect of my new run: no meads, no Forsaken powers, no Harnesk.

[open pecan]

Godspeed on that.

[merry pebble]

Oooh, nice 😄

[rich veldt]

I really wonder how...
while I know it was a patch with game logic in mind, it kind of makes me regret we never really clean these forsaken halls of the seekers infestation

[merry pebble]

Bugs are notoriously hard to get rid of once they are somewhere 😄

[tacit crystal]

Also, we are there to raid, not to clean.

[tacit crystal]

No Harnesk part won't hurt me as much since last run I managed without it, but the lack of Ratatosk tonic will.

[merry pebble]

Tbh i almost never use the harnesk 😄 but the ratatosk would hurt me too

[tacit crystal]

I also haven't during my last 2 runs (bow only and 2h only*).

[rich veldt]

it just felt nice first time i cleared the mine and thought it was clean of these disgusting creatures haha

[rich veldt]

bomb em mate

[vocal musk]

is there a channel where i can look for players to play with? i'm kinda new to valheim and i've been wanting to play with people

[silver radish]

The best place to find players is via the #1024264966712340510 channel. Either look through posts looking for people or make your own.

[open pecan]

#1024264966712340510 is your best bet.

[vocal musk]

okay thank you!

[hardy gate]

Everything that has been invented for fortresses is unnecessary garbage, there is a ladder and trolls

[undone forum]

Lets see, without fortresses there wouldn't be a boss vegvesir, there wouldn't be any boss spawn items, there wouldn't be any magic in the ashlands, there wouldn't be any enchanted weapons

[shy marlin]

You can find fader veg in Ashlands ruins I think

[undone forum]

Wiki says fortress only, never see one in the ruins

[tacit crystal]

You can find in ruins too. But they're bit rarer.

[shy marlin]

🤙

[tacit crystal]

Check here for example: #screenshots message

[undone forum]

Huh, never see that before

Interesting

[merry pebble]

On which page exactly?

[tacit crystal]

So fortresses are not the only locations where you can find vegvisirs for Fader.

Interested in that too which wiki page says that fortresses only.

[undone forum]

Hmmm, a different page says "rarely ontop of charred ruins" you would think that would be mentioned on the fader page

[merry pebble]

Maybe faders could be understood like that, since it doesent mention ruins, but it doesent state that they can be only in the fortresses eithe

Ah, so it was faders

[undone forum]

I suppose

[tacit crystal]

They're Fader vegvisirs in those ruins.

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fader mention added 🙂

[undone forum]

Did you just add it or was I completely blind

[merry pebble]

Just added it 😄

[undone forum]

Ok, I'm not going crazy then

[tacit crystal]

You edit wiki too?

[undone forum]

Asatru is all powerful so obviously

[merry pebble]

Yep, tho not much lately and if then some smaller stuff 🙂

[open pecan]

Did you fix the Midsummer Crown recently as well?

I see the creation window is correct now.

[merry pebble]

Nope, that was not me, didnt even know something was wrong with it

How was it wrong?

Ah, i see it now, Derek fixed it 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

If you found something wrong on the wiki, why not change it yourself?

[open pecan]

Used to say June to October.

[open pecan]

Don't know how.

[open pecan]

That makes sense.

[merry pebble]

Its not that hard to learn really, but whats important is for the info you put there to be actually accurate 😄
And if you dont want or care to learn how to do it then just bring it up here and usually someone notices it, or ping me and i will try to fix stuff or bring it up to other people who take care of wiki 🙂

[open pecan]

Thanks for explaining instead of condescending. I appreciate and will bug you with wiki stuff from now on because you're right, I don't want or care how to update it.

[tacit crystal]

Okay, you missed an opportunity to make Cosmo go crazy.

[merry pebble]

I know was thinking about playing the "Its been there this whole time" card but seemed little mean.

[tacit crystal]

"Are you sure?"

[hardy gate]

You have the logic of a five year old. I wasn't saying that they just need to be removed or anything like that, but how sloppy this job is.

[hardy gate]

The fortresses initially looked different according to the concepts.

[vocal rivet]

Didn't look like anything, they're literally concepts. I.e. nothing had been made yet.

[last elm]

I went to go chop trees down and got attacked by a troll and like 20 greydwarfs

[open pecan]

That sounds about right.

[hardy gate]

It was published by the developers, not the concepts that were created by fans.

[merry pebble]

Derek didn't say anything that would suggest this isnt true 😄

[near furnace]

mew?

[vocal rivet]

Indeed, I was referring to the developer's concept art 😕

[merry pebble]

But concepts are just concepts, nothing more

[vocal rivet]

Again, that was literally my point.

[near furnace]

Those red beacon light thingys on the made some players think there would be dungeons in them

[vocal rivet]

That and there are three different designs, when we only got one

[sonic drum]

tbh, i would have liked to see a dungeon behind the second door and to some extent i was a little surprised there wasnt; also some of those designs would have been nice to see as variations

[near furnace]

Those concepts meet "reality" and had to be scaled to what was possible in terms of spawn size

[hardy gate]

Any of these even looks more interesting

[shy marlin]

Grimcore did say he thought it would be cool to have something inside of the fortresses like a dungeon but they ran out of time

[near furnace]

how you like these?

[brazen linden]

Wild suggestion to the Fortress; Have a No-build zone around it, so we can't just ||rise ground and cheese our way|| over the wall :p

[near furnace]

<-- #suggestions

[shy marlin]

You could still cheese it

[daring sinew]

Can you use battle axes on trees

[near furnace]

catapult and the cheezy feather fall cape

[sonic drum]

even if the dungeons were small ones it would still add to it, i expected (if there were dungeons) something either like the ones in mistlands or the black forest

[spare quail]

Will there be lower tier weapons added to the game before/at the same time/after deep north ? Or is early equipment kind of set in stone for vanilla ?

love the 2h swords

[light moat]

At the very least this would require far more setup than the ole’ workbench+ladder technique, and would likely require defeating a fortress in the first place 🤔

[brazen linden]

But that's a fun way 😄 If you land within the walls, you whould have no safe space without jumping over the wall again

[near furnace]

low tier weapons?

[sonic drum]

my current map the first fortress i came across had a big rock spawn right next to it so it was easy to just jump the wall off it =/

[spare quail]

Like a bronze 2h sword for example, I like the way ashlands does tons of weapons and enchants

[shy marlin]

Earlier crossbow would be so cool 🤞

[near furnace]

haven't seen any bronze 2h swords 🤔

[spare quail]

That's what I'm asking, like is it planned to be something or not

[daring sinew]

I hope the far north brings a tool like a shovel to make snow blocks that can be built in a pinch without a workbench

[shy marlin]

Well we know from a teaser that there is more than likely going to be a new fist weapon

[daring sinew]

Like if there’s an ice storm and u need to get inside but ur in the middle of nowhere

[spare quail]

I'm not really wondering about Deep north and past ashlands stuff, I'm wondering if devs will go back to bronze/Iron/Silver and add weapon types that are only available in mistlands or ashlands rn.

[near furnace]

oh? so these aren't just decorations? 😦

[open pecan]

MOAR FISTS

[sonic drum]

im hoping that the dvergr comments about their home make their way into the game

[daring sinew]

Silver atgier when

[spare quail]

like that for example, I'm partial to 2h swords all the way tough

[near furnace]

I wonder what the inspiration might have been 🤔
My guess <---- GUESSING NOW. is this guy

[daring sinew]

The fang spear is so cheap I might just make a bunch and use them as throwing weapons for bosses

[sonic drum]

whos that???

[near furnace]

daddy

[sonic drum]

ha

[near furnace]

Huge Jacked Man

[tacit crystal]

Partial nude variations of those armor sets when?

[near furnace]

Hot summer collection? 😄

[spare quail]

[tacit crystal]

There was that lewd model for Ask set you published on Instagram some time ago before Ashlands update.

[warped remnant]

i finally found the yagluth guy

now i need just find the bog witch

[fossil delta]

Hmmmm... yeah, I need to learn about the Bog Witch. She did not exist the last time my wife and I played.

[quasi latch]

If your world has any unexplored swamps, try finding those and see if she spawns

[cloud whale]

My father started a world a few years ago and i found haldor in my world, he tried to find haldor but never did

We used seed map as well

[quasi latch]

So you went near a spawn location and they didn't spawn?

[cloud whale]

Nope

We tried all locations

[quasi latch]

Weird.

[cloud whale]

It might be an update issue

[fossil delta]

Thats what I am thinking. There should be a Haldor in every world.

[quasi latch]

The way each of the traders works is that they have 10 possible locations, and the first one that is encountered within ~400 meters is the one where the trader spawns

[fossil delta]

We have plenty of unexplored swamps, I am sure. We have revealed very little of this world, so far. But we have found the first 4 bosses. Just looking for Yag.

[cloud whale]

Oh same

[tacit crystal]

In case it's an old world, the locations of the spawn points of undiscovered traders will swift to different places after content update, so it will then not show the correct locations if you are looking at the world map generator site.

[cloud whale]

Thanks!

I haven’t beaten yagluth yet but I went ahead and explored the mistlands

[fossil delta]

The good thing for our current game is we found Haldor shockingly fast. We found him before we got to the closest Elder.

[spare quail]

lucky, that belt comes in handy real quick

[cloud whale]

Lucky, the belt is the best

[fossil delta]

It does. Kind of a rule for me to have that belt before I do iron.

[cloud whale]

I agree, gonna need that belt

[fossil delta]

I also love the Dvergr light source, helps me out with my old eye issues.

[cloud whale]

Im going to get that before I go back into the mistlands

[spare quail]

I don't think it will help with mistland, you'll need to get a wisplight for mistland if you want to see better

[fossil delta]

It reflects off the fog too much to be useful to me. The dungeons have been lit well enough to not feel a need for it there either.

[cloud whale]

I haven’t beaten yagluth yet though

[sonic drum]

youll need to in order to explore mistlands in a decent way

[spare quail]

wat ar ya waitin for !?

[sonic drum]

you "can" do it but it isnt fun

[fossil delta]

That will always be my favorite boss battle. My first time fighting him, along with my wife, was truly epic for us.

[cloud whale]

I started to explore it to get Krom before I defeated moder 😅

[sonic drum]

youre far better off getting the wisplight, for a more enjoyable experience in mistlands

[fossil delta]

100% agree.

[cloud whale]

I trust yall, it was a horrible time there

[sonic drum]

i can imagine lol

[fossil delta]

The Mistlands gives you plenty of reasons to have a horrible experience without also being blind. 😄

[cloud whale]

It was successful, so that’s good, I got both krom and arbalist

[fossil delta]

The magic system has not grown on me, my wife doesn't like it either. So its really nice that normal combat stays viable.

[spare quail]

not a fan of magic either, when I tried it, firepower didn't justify the loss in stamina and survivability

summoning trolls is cool but not really effective

[cloud whale]

So would it be worth going to get magic before yag?

[fossil delta]

ITs like the rest of it, it gets better with skill increases. I just prefer good old weapons over the spells.

[spare quail]

Depends what you mean by ''worth it'', it could be fun, it will make Krom and arbalest useless to you if you use magic

[cloud whale]

Would it be worth the time and effort

[fossil delta]

I'd proably like magic if we got it earlier in the game. Just by Mistlands my most desired skills are in the 60's and 70's, if not higher. It would take forever for me to get magic on par with that.

[sonic drum]

you dont have to go full magic either, for some spells you need more eitr then others but you can run one food and use some of the magic still; the Staff of Protection is nice to have to even just toss on and take a hit for you if your in a rough spot or going into a rough fight

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I know. I have given it more than a fair shake. I do have nearly 5,000 hours on this game...

[spare quail]

Trying to mix and match magic isn't worth it imo. you lose out on armor, health and stamina for a spell you can't spam.

[fossil delta]

No mods, either.

[sonic drum]

you dont need to use the mage equipment, you can still run full heavy armor with 1 eitr food and be fine

granted its not ideal but it does still work depending on what you are trying to do

[spare quail]

you won't regen eitr so you wouldn't run eitr food without mage gear? I can guarantee it doesn't work on hard/very hard, maybe on easy/normal it's somewhat viable

I need 100% of my health and armor to even have a chance at blocking regular mobs

[sonic drum]

you still regen it just not as fast

[cloud whale]

Yeah, I ate a mage cap and eitr regen is slow

[sonic drum]

the foods you can make will give you a larger pool to cast from, i know when i did the queen fight for the first time i ran with 1 of each food type while my friend went with 2x hp 1 stam, even though i wasnt able to spam spells i was still have to use the Staff of Protection to eat hits and it helped even if it was only one hit

[spare quail]

The important thing is it was fun

[cloud whale]

Well that’s good

[fossil delta]

Yeah, our fun is with the types of weapons we have used since Eikthyr. The summoning and bubble of protection are nice, though. I really enjoyed those when I ran servers and had magic players casting those for me. Magic simply is not for me. I tend to favor melee over magic in pretty much every game I play.

[sonic drum]

im usually much the same and i will agree that the late introduction of magic really made me not want to use it all that much which is why i only really stuck with the staff of protection vs the other ones

[last elm]

“THE FOREST IS MOVING” is what I was told right before I got jumped and died

[fossil delta]

Yeah, to give it a fair try out, I made everything, used everythiing. Just as is par for the course with me, at the end of the day, I prefer melee.

[spare quail]

Same, there is something about parry/staggered hits that feels right

[fossil delta]

Welcome to Valheim! The first of many fine deaths to come!

[warped remnant]

i also now found the bog witch

[last elm]

I’m never dying again. Died twice in one day. Once to a troll and once to the forest

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats my wife and I's plan once she is off work. find the witch.

[candid shale]

is pet rock still in the game?

[spare quail]

gg, give that broom a bop on the nog

[fossil delta]

Enitrely doable. I have done play throughs without dying. Before the Mistlands existed. Now I only get to the Mistlands without dying. Unless its been a year+ since I last played. I've died 3 or 4 times this play through.

[warped remnant]

i like the bog witch music

[fossil delta]

I think so. I saw it on a news release about a month ago.

[sonic drum]

yea bob it is

although idk if its a pet, ive gotten some but i havent done anything with it, just tossed it in a chest and have left it since

[candid shale]

thank you cel

[warped remnant]

what does pet rock do

[cloud whale]

The most times I died was when I was fighting eikthyr, I had a bad computer, very slow

[nocturne wolf]

It does this

[warped remnant]

that makes me really thonk

[worldly elm]

I’m thinking about downloading this game cause it’s only $10 on PC Gamepass

[open pecan]

Do it.

[worldly elm]

But I’ve never played and I want someone to play with

From the looks of it, it’s like Viking Minecraft, right?

[fossil delta]

ITs probably my favorite game of all time, and its not even done. Been my favorite for close to 4 years now. So yeah, buy it.

[nocturne wolf]

You can find someone to play with in #1024264966712340510 and it’s very different to minecraft

[sonic drum]

agreed 100%

at $10 its well worth the price

[fossil delta]

It has some very general similarities to Minecraft, but definitely not the same.

[warped remnant]

i like it more then minecraft

[sonic drum]

same

[worldly elm]

Interesting

[fossil delta]

Same. I have thousands of hours on Valheim, maybe 200 hours on Minecraft.

[worldly elm]

Do you guys ever play it solo?

[cloud whale]

Do it, so worth it

[nocturne wolf]

I have but it’s much better with others

[warped remnant]

interesting stuff that the bog witch is selling but i fogor the money

[fossil delta]

Every time I try not to die. Playing with others gets me killed by their stupidity.

[sonic drum]

i do quite often ive played with others as well

[worldly elm]

I figured

[cloud whale]

I’ve been

Im looking for people to play with though

[fossil delta]

I've ran Valheim servers, so agree its also a lot of fun with others. But I have to accept that I am going to die in those games.

[sonic drum]

its a fun game whether you play solo or with people

both have their pros and cons but still fun either way

[fossil delta]

Its a bit of a slog solo. Not so bad if you set your world to allow ores through portals, though.

[sonic drum]

ive never used the allow ores through portals i feel the sailing in the game is an important aspect to it

[fossil delta]

I agree, but again, I have over 4,000 hours on this game. So I give myself such allowances now a days.

[sonic drum]

fair i do that with somethings as well, ive done all the stuff in the game numerous times over

[fossil delta]

I stick to such rules when I do zero death attempts, though. Which I have not done in well over a year now, so...

[sonic drum]

i play solo 90% of the time, most of the people i know dont want to play through again for w/e reason

[fossil delta]

Man, now I want to check all my old worlds. I THINK I finally did a zero death run all the way through the Queen before I stopped playing last time, but I am not sure.

She is definitely the toughest boss for me to beat, but I have not finished Ashlands either.

[sonic drum]

you could recruit some friends from ashlands >.>

wait nvm it doenst work like that on the first attempt

[last elm]

$10 on steam as well

I bought the game about a week ago and I’ve enjoyed playing it so far

[steel mica]

BM chest has structural integrity?

I did not notice that until now

[last elm]

Is it normal to have multiple bases around your world? I didn't think of making a second one until now but the elder is so far away from my current. Could end up being a full day trip

[quasi latch]

Depends on your play style. I go one normal base + portals to outposts

[sonic drum]

i usually make a few but not until later on mainly when crops require specific biomes

[ancient merlin]

I started with friends but then switched to playing it solo. Don’t get me wrong, it is great with friends, but this game is my little sanctuary. I play it to calm down. I can choose what to build, how to build it, I can set my own speed and if I want to spend 200 hours building before killing the next boss, then it’s my choice 😁 but that’s also great with other people. I just play it alone for now

[last elm]

How do you make portals?

[sonic drum]

need fine wood, surtling cores, and greydwarf eyes

[quasi latch]

Surtling cores, greydwarf eyes, finewood. Under the misc tab in the hammer menu.

[last elm]

I need to get more cores and about to make a bronze axe for fine wood

[spare quail]

If you have cheat portals, you don't need too make multiples bases until plains to grow flax and barley. If you don't have cheat portals you'll probably make a base everytime you kill a boss and move on to next biome. Or, you could sail back your metals everytime but that's not very efficient imo.

[quasi latch]

It's not too bad once you have a ||longship and you make sure to completely fill it with ore before sailing back||

It's one trip for every ||540|| ore, you barely ever have to make it

[spare quail]

100%, it's not too bad when you're geared and farming metals for your base but trying to fill a longboat when you've just discovered iron and don't have a forge set-up yet is a whole task

[fossil delta]

Its easier once you know what you have to do and when. Like if you know what you need when you go to get iron, for example. Process it there, or an adjacent, safer, biome.

[spare quail]

much better to grab your forge and crafting station upgrade with you to the swamp than bring the iron back home to your stations imo ( I say swamp but, every biome)

[fossil delta]

Again, once you know what your going to have to do. Not the usual case for a first timer.

[last elm]

So how do portals work?

[sonic drum]

for the most part a pocket portal and a longship work out fine for swamp, given the run isnt that long to the shore, at least for me

[quasi latch]

Name 2 portals with the same tag to link them

[steel mica]

Its not nessecary to make new main bases but its nice to have them

[fossil delta]

One for your base, one for the destination. Give them the same name to connect them.

[spare quail]

Pocket portal and a boat is all well and good until your portal breaks and you have to sail another 60 minutes on a raft to go get your tomb

[steel mica]

Your main base should be where most of you needs are in

[sonic drum]

portals on top of crypts ftw

[frigid gust]

Capitalization is important with portal names 😉 I also keep an unnamed one for a pair to my pocket portal, I only name my more permanent ones, and make them a permanent partner in my base.

[quasi latch]

1. Guard your portal better
2. Keep some materials set aside for an extra boat

[last elm]

Do I need to have 1 portal in my base for each location or can it 1 teleport to all locations?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, an un named pair are also connected.

[quasi latch]

You can use one and rename it

[fossil delta]

A pair each time.

Or keep renaming one to match which one you want to go to.

[frigid gust]

You can rename the portal in your base every time if you want, some people like "dialing" portals like that to save on materials. But it means you need to keep track of all the names of the various target portals. I prefer to just make a big portal hub and have them all named permanently there.

[spare quail]

... or don't rely on a single portal on a faraway island in the new biome you unlocked

[sonic drum]

i always have a temp blank portal set up at my main base so i can just drop one and it connects, i have a bunch of "dumping chests" around so i can dump and go back, sort it after when im doing do w/e it is im doing

[fossil delta]

My preference is to also have dedicated pairs.

[shell ermine]

I usually make three bases maybe 4 depending on how biomes are laid out. Your meadows base should be good all the way up to mountain progression. Then you can, if you’re lucky, put up a base on a biome line between mists and plains so that you can grow both the crops at one base, if not you’ll have to separate the two, then you’ll need an ashlands base.

[frigid gust]

It also means I get to have fun designing and building a fun portal hub after I get enough portals to make it worthwhile 😛

[fossil delta]

For random traveling I also have one back home named "Travel" to use to go home whenever I need to.

[foggy glacier]

I usually make a large wooden base in the meadows with my gardens and boar farm, then turn it into a portal hub once I move on to a new base

[sonic drum]

atm i have 10 bases 4 of those are for fishing alone though

[fossil delta]

I do a home in the Meadows, then the Plains, then the Mistlands, mostly because I have to to safe guard the biome specific crops.

[shell ermine]

That’s what I do with my swamp tree house outpost.

[fossil delta]

Heh, I'll have to make a swamp portal base some time. The lighting will be perfect.

[shell ermine]

I like to try to find a good place where the mists and plains are next to each other on defendable and/or aesthetic, non misty areas. I’m not always that lucky though.

[fossil delta]

So far I have found a mountain biome to MOSTLY build in, with the garden portion going over into the Mistlands.

[shell ermine]

Then I do an outpost in a safe spot in the ashlands until I take a fortress and the fortress becomes my new home.

[shell ermine]

Nice, that is probably a fun build

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I am still pretty new to the Ashlands. Been waiting for the final biome to be finished before really putting in the time/effort to learn the last bits of this game.

[shell ermine]

That won’t be done until next year, ashlands is super tough, you probably want to get used to it before deep north, you never know how much harder that biome will be.

You. Will. Die. In the Ashlands, and probably a lot. It’s a learning curve for sure.

[fossil delta]

I've played around in the Ashlands, gathered mats, taken over a few fortress', done some building, but not really getting into it yet.

I'd have to look to see if I died in the Ashlands yet. I don't recall dying there yet.

[shell ermine]

Ain’t no way

No way you haven’t died in the Ashlands

[sonic drum]

generally youll die when you first land, as you tend to get swarmed by everything

[steel mica]

You're bound to die when you first land

[fossil delta]

I may have. Just not a lot.

[shell ermine]

I die all the time there, even after landing and establishing an outpost

[fossil delta]

Its been over a year since I last played in the Ashlands.

[steel mica]

Even having flametal gear ashland will still find a way to kick your a**

Its straight up a warzone between you, the dvergrs, and the ashland army

[random root]

guys ive been playing valheim for almost 10 hours check my profile

[spare quail]

this game will do that to you xd

[sonic drum]

why so little?

[fossil delta]

The same has been said about the swamps, then the plains, then Mistlands, now Ashlands. The same will be said about the North.

[steel mica]

Another poor soul has been claimed

[turbid lotus]

Rookie numbers.

[random root]

dude i literally have almost 100 hours in the game and i bought the game just over a week ago

[tacit crystal]

Gotta pump those numbers up.

[sonic drum]

its a great game to just get lost in

[fossil delta]

Last I knew, very few had over 4,000 hours like me. Smiffe was close. One or two others...

[random root]

so real dude me and my friend been getting really into it imma purchase merch soon

[sonic drum]

im currently sitting at almost 3.6k hrs

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I think you were around when I was last active here.

[steel mica]

Im half way to 1k

[fossil delta]

Even my wife has over 1,000 hours, and she has a full time job. But all our kids are grown and moved out, so that helps.

I'm retired, have been for about 10 years now. So thats why I have so many hours.

[sonic drum]

i got this when covid started so i had a lot of time on my hands

[fossil delta]

Thats back when my friends and I were playing together. Then they went back to work.

[random root]

to be honest i played a decent amount on console and everytime ive looked for a game on steam valeheim popped into view but i waited it out and recently it was on sale and my friend suggested we both get it so we did and weve been grinding since

[fossil delta]

Cool. For first time players my most important piece of advice would be, "Take it slow. Enjoy it as much as possible your first time." I can say that about a few other things too, but not here.

[median ibex]

Definitely feeling the difficulty spike of the Swamp

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp is where the fun starts

[sonic drum]

"fun" lol

[steel mica]

Very fun

[last elm]

Is the sword the best bronze melee weapon?

[random root]

does anyone else like naming their boars after actual norse names or just me?

[quasi latch]

It's really funny annoying one of my friends by taking my sweet time with each biome. She's all like "GO FIGHT THE BOSS YOU HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED" and I'm like noooooo I need to finish filling up this longship with scrap iron

Singleplayer world being screenshared in a VC btw, not like a server or anything like that

[fossil delta]

I did at one point, but now I don't name them. I only have breeders, so not naming them enables me to just slaughter whichever 3 I get to first in each group.

[random root]

i see

[sonic drum]

youll want the iron for later, so its worthwhile sticking around in the swamps and getting a good supply at least for the time being

[fossil delta]

Yeah, getting "plains ready" is making me remember why I wanted to have a lot of iron in my chests, even after all my gear was fully levelled.

[sonic drum]

after i get iron i spend a lot of time upgrading my main base and expanding storage its one of my few "stopping points" in the game

[fossil delta]

The silver veins were so plentiful, we have twice as much silver, with no where near a need for it like we have for iron. 😄

I think this is the first time we ever made our silver gear tier 4.

I'm old, so don't quote me on that.

[sonic drum]

frostner/draugr fang are my goto weapons when i get to mountains so i always max those out, the gear i sometimes do and sometimes dont depends on how things are going

[fossil delta]

They are pretty effective even without that last 45 silver upgrade, so I think I have never done tier 4. I might have, especially in my solo zero death attempts. Those few extra points can be the difference between living and dying.

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message Found a route without a raft, lol.

[near furnace]

lol. 3 eikthyr so close 😄

[tacit crystal]

And all so far from the spawn point, literally black forest between too.

Don't remember when I had this kind of start.

Actually, I once had a seed where there was troll cave very close to the spawn point.

[analog pine]

Getting fun speculation thoughts going, what if we get yaks in the Deep North for taming? Could get milk from them for making cheese, and with cheese comes a wide variety of dishes.

[vocal rivet]

Aren't Lox pretty yak like?

[near furnace]

Yaks? 🤔

not very scandinavian

[vocal rivet]

Giant moose?

[near furnace]

moose isn't yak 😄

[vocal rivet]

I was suggesting an alternative...

[near furnace]

american god damn again

lets add AR-15's, Abraham tanks and bald eagles while we are at it

[night aspen]

Did they change something about those flame metal ore towers? ive mined the whole tower's ores and it didn't start to sink at all.

[shy marlin]

ye

[vocal rivet]

They've changed the chance of sinking to 1%.

[night aspen]

wow, really?

thats awesome

[vocal rivet]

Yes. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/merica-bald-eagle-eagle-america-american-gif-2277187416326490184

[analog pine]

Now that it's mentioned, lox are basically cattle. Wish we could milk them. The cheese awaits!

[median ibex]

Sword, Atgeir, Mace, and Spear all have their strengths.
Generally the Atgeir is seen as "best", but each of the above has an argument to be made for it.

[analog pine]

Atgier is great for crowd control, but a lot of things seem to resist pierce damage.

[median ibex]

Lots of Black Forest enemies are weak to pierce, though.
Skeletons are resistant though, as is The Elder iirc.

[near furnace]

loxes are basicly an Ox with Lizard head

hence LizardOx name

[tacit crystal]

Trolls are weak against pierce, skeletons resist and greydwarves don't resist or are weak to it.

[median ibex]

Ah wait, yeah, my brain short circuited.
I meant to say that the most important Black Forest enemy is weak to pierce. Mb.

God forbid you run into a 1-Star Troll without pierce damage, let alone a 2-Star.

[last elm]

At that point you click F and get out of there

[last elm]

I made a mace because it was most similar to the wooden club I was already using

[steel mica]

Organizing your stuff to your best has got to the most tedious thing ever

[merry pebble]

The sword Is generally the most newbie friendly since it works well agains almost anything 🙂

[steel mica]

Jack of all trades

[sonic drum]

so much better when you get things sorted though

[steel mica]

Yeah

[steel mica]

I just realized that said best instead of base

[sonic drum]

i read it as base anyways

[steel mica]

Im prioritizing my new kitchen since I spend quite a bit of time in it

[sonic drum]

a worthwhile endeavor

[merry pebble]

Yep, while not many enemies are weak against slash dmg, there are not many that resist it either 😄

[steel mica]

"shes hot on your tail" raid comes

Yeah im chillin my perimeter surrounding my base

[last elm]

Wait, so is the only way to get armor to protect yourself from freezing to go into the Mountain biome to get it?

[foggy glacier]

yes.

there's a potion that can help you though

[last elm]

And where can i get that potion?

[sonic drum]

from the mead ketill, frost resistance mead

[pure atlas]

The mountain im currently on only has one cave. No fenrin (however you spell them) spawned in it. Could I come back in a few days and they might spawn again? Im tryin gto get the fur to make the claw weapon

[merry pebble]

Nope, frost caves do not respawn enemies 🙂

[pure atlas]

so if they were never in it they never will be?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[pure atlas]

will they spawn on the mountain at night to farm the fur or do I need nother cave system

thanks for the answers btw

[light moat]

You’ll need to find more caves to find more materials for the fenris set 👍

The fenrings (werewolf looking guys) that spawn at night don’t have any drops beyond wolf fangs and their trophies.

[untold carbon]

Crypts are terrifying. Are ghosts usually in those?!?

[shy marlin]

They're uncommon

They're kinda like an elite enemy of the crypt if that makes sense

[untold carbon]

Scared me a lot. I was trying to practice parry in a crypt when i got jumped by ghosts.

[light moat]

That’s a really tough enemy to practice parrying on

[steel mica]

Troll:

[shy marlin]

Charred warriors

[steel mica]

2** Charred warriors

[shy marlin]

on very hard 😏

[steel mica]

Ah still remember that time when I had to face one

[steel mica]

[simple folio]

well first attempt at queen was a terrible failure 😂

[steel mica]

What are you running?

[simple folio]

mist sword, black metal shield and carapace armor

[steel mica]

Are they upgraded?

[simple folio]

yup

[shy marlin]

Any form of aoe? ooze/bile bomb, demolisher?

[steel mica]

He probably cant make demolisher as he mentioned he is using BMS

so he is out of refined eitr

[shy marlin]

Should go and get some then tbh lol

If the queen is a struggle then you're gonna want all the resources and tools you have for the ashlands

[simple folio]

i wasn't really expecting to kill her first attempt blind lol

[quasi latch]

With good stamina management and dodge rolls, they're perfectly doable even without pierce.

[cloud whale]

Im going to fight yagluth, anyone want to fight him or have tips to fight him?

[steel mica]

Use the altar fingers to block meteor, and bring fire resistance wine

[cloud whale]

Alright, would frostner be good for him

[shy marlin]

ye

Silver sword if you have it but frostner is second best

[cloud whale]

I have both, as well as krom if that’s good for him

[magic heath]

hi everyone

[cloud whale]

Hi

[rocky nebula]

i get that ghosts are uncommon but in my recent playthrough i had a chamber with 5 ghosts wjich tends to make me think they are pretty common

[steel mica]

Krom that early?

Is this your first time fighting yagluth?

[cloud whale]

I went ahead to the mistlands before fighting moder and yes this is my first

[steel mica]

Ah so early mistlands exposure

[cloud whale]

Tough but worth it

[steel mica]

The best weapons against yagluth are silver sword and frostner

[shy marlin]

Sword out dps frostner but yea

[rocky nebula]

indeed.

[magic heath]

will be sets like the Ask set that will give more than 10 percent damage?

[rocky nebula]

no one knows

[cloud whale]

Alright thanks a lot

[magic heath]

I hope the developers will change this to a bonus for the spear skill, otherwise it's strange

[steel mica]

Silver sword has less stam per swing right?

[cloud whale]

Lemme see

[shy marlin]

It does a lot of spirit dmg

On top of the slash

[steel mica]

Ah

[cloud whale]

Same stamina use but sword has more spirit, frostner has frost though

[steel mica]

Ah nice

[cloud whale]

So frostner would be best because he is resistant to slash

[shy marlin]

no

he's not resistant to slash lol

he's neutral to slash

Silver sword does a total of 105 dmg, frostner does a total of 95 to yagluth

[cloud whale]

I searched it up it says that he is resistant

But I’ll try it out

[shy marlin]

Whatever source that is it's just wrong

[cloud whale]

Oh ok

[lunar sapphire]

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

[cloud whale]

Oh ok thanks

[lunar sapphire]

Always best to consult the valheim wiki before other sources

[cloud whale]

I will keep that in mind definitely

[steel mica]

@shy marlin How do you like the state of your kitchen valheim?

Overly organized or all over the place

[shy marlin]

Uh

Depends on the run, in like a casual I'm just playing the game run, really organized and neat

In a ultra giga sweat lord i'm doing something insane run it's scattered and there's zero order

[steel mica]

Well heres my new kitchen, and tbh I love it

#building-screenshots message

[shy marlin]

Hugee

[steel mica]

The farmables are all in one categories of chest

[shy marlin]

I like to think I'm a pretty competent builder but the one thign I struggle a lot with is interiors

[steel mica]

The potions are above the fermenters

[steel mica]

I struggle alot with the interior and exterior

[lunar sapphire]

A kitchen? That's a whole warehouse!

[steel mica]

The deepnorth resources will be seperate because I couldnt fit anymore in that space

All the food storage you can image is right there in that singular kitchen

Quite happy on how it turned out

[lunar sapphire]

"smh, I don't have enough space in my warehouse"

[steel mica]

Next up is the main storage room right next to the kitchen to the left

[steel mica]

I wanted to use bmc to maximize storage but realized I wouldnt be able to fit majority of the food so I went with Iron chests

[cloud whale]

That kitchen is very impressive

[lunar sapphire]

10th world problems

[steel mica]

Literally you need so much storage for everythingf

[lunar sapphire]

[steel mica]

Alright I go eat lunch bah-bye

[lunar sapphire]

Enjoy your eye-scream

[rocky nebula]

silver sword is best

[lunar sapphire]

That's a delayed response

[rocky nebula]

oh my discord didnt update lol

[cloud whale]

Yes but helpful, but there is a problem

I don’t have enough fuling totems

[lunar sapphire]

Time to go visit the locals

[cloud whale]

Fr

[untold carbon]

Bodach are you on discord? Do you have a portal in the huh connecting to your house?

[fossil delta]

We finally found the Bog Witch. Well, my wife did. I wasn't playing at the time. Lets just say she had a very memorable first encounter, with a nice complete welcoming committee from the swamp. 😄 😄 😄

She also found out Abominations can hit you while your in her house. 😄

Yeah, that was strange. It looks like it has a protective dome like Haldor does, but it didn't block anything. They just did not go inside her house. Plus the Abomination could "reach" inside as well.

[crisp tartan]

solo ashlands makes me wanna die

[light snow]

Abuse magic and bows 🤙

Abuse ratatosk

[shy marlin]

🗣️ 🔥 What is balance!!!!

[steel mica]

Abuse the fact that enemies in ashlands are charred but still are susceptible to the staff of embers

[light snow]

Hell yea spammable aoe 120 blunt that makes no noise 🤙

[shy marlin]

Demolisher in shambles rn

[steel mica]

IronGate team taking notes 👀

[shy marlin]

Doubt it lol

[steel mica]

Demolisher is still good for keeping warriors at bay

Its the weapon that literally allowed me to kill the 2** warrior I encountered

[light snow]

Imagine losing 30 armor to get +9% movement speed when you could drink a potion for +15%

[shy marlin]

😎

[fossil sapphire]

why cant we stack ancient bark xD

that would be cool

[lunar sapphire]

Like the 50x placement version?

such as stones, wood, core wood, bones

What a profile card

No, not yours.

[shy marlin]

The Witching Hours.

[fossil sapphire]

yeahh like that

[tacit crystal]

If you mean the +10% pierce damage granted from Ask set, it affects to all sources of pierce: bows, crossbows, spears, atgeirs, knives, Porcupine.

[steel mica]

Curious

Has anyone else built an outpost/base on top of one of those grausten spires in the ashlands ocean?

[tacit crystal]

Not yet.

[steel mica]

Noted, next building project

I have so much black marble from all that dvergr settlement massacare I wanna use it

and other resources I didnt get to use on my main base

[sonic drum]

black marble is one of the better build pieces to use there since its immune to all elemental dmg (minus lava) unlike the other building pieces that are immune to only poison/spirit

[steel mica]

What about grausten?

[sonic drum]

nope grausten is only immune to poison/spirit

[steel mica]

Sad

[sonic drum]

bonemaw attacks have poison/fire in them

[steel mica]

Black marble it is

[steel mica]

Its quite impossible to make player-made bases without terrain walls due to ashlands having the most enemies that can deal heavy dmg to buildings

Not to mention your gonna get constantly bomb rush by enemies in the ashlands

[sonic drum]

trenches and earthen walls help every build, the shield generator helps a lot too if it cover the whole base

[steel mica]

While building

[steel mica]

I get this but I dont like cheesing enemies through terrain walls or trenches

[sonic drum]

i usually try to make some kind of little base then immediately follow up with a trench

[mossy river]

Repeat players, do you like bronze picks? I wound up with a bunch of extra bronze after raiding mountain caves, but it's just so meh.

[sonic drum]

if your in mountains its not worth it at that point youll need an iron pickaxe there

[steel mica]

You'll need iron pick

[mossy river]

I haven't killed elder yet or even been in a swamp

But on this playthrough Elder is faaaaar

[sonic drum]

you dont need them per say they are better then the first pickaxe but its not needed to progress

[mossy river]

So I decided to make fenris gear because mountains were near my spawn

[sonic drum]

oops sorrry black

wrong reply

[steel mica]

The pickaxe progression is literally this
Antler pick > Iron pick > BM pick > battering ram/trollstav

[sonic drum]

i personally dont ever kill stuff through the walls, i let spikes do the killing; the trench/earthen wall is just to protect the base

[steel mica]

I like the fighting gives me something to do but man ashlands is rough with the high dmging enemies

especially the ||morgen|| literally the worse

[mossy river]

Yeah, I'll probably hate the first time I need to get back to a forge to repair in the swamp

[steel mica]

You don't have to necessarily bring a forge to your swamp location, just make an outpost and tp when pickaxe is about to break

[sonic drum]

take a bronze pickaxe and at least one antler pickaxe more will only allow you to stay there longer without having to go back to repair

[mossy river]

I drop portals in front of crypts when I go in, so it's not a huge deal

[sonic drum]

you can use the antler pickaxes when you get to mountains to dig out the land then iron pick to mine the silver
