[unreal rampart]

ah ty

[vivid sparrow]

Thank you.

[sacred bolt]

I got my frostnir

my house is on the plains so dealing with these goblin fuckers is so chill now

[paper marsh]

Yea huntsman is superior. I kinda like it over mistlands bow too

[fossil delta]

I see they added a new event since I last played. If only we had gotten it when we were still in desperate need of chains.

[proud cypress]

Is there actually any use in copper knifes?

[fossil delta]

Only until you get chitin.

[tacit crystal]

It is actually a huge upgrade to Flint knife.

[proud cypress]

Yeah but is it even useful when there are spears

[tacit crystal]

It's almost as fast and has 3 hit combo which spears lack.

[merry pebble]

One is not better or worse than the other

[tacit crystal]

Some prefer knives over spears and some prefer axes over swords.

Knives have huge backstab multiplier (6x) which can be devastating to unaware troll.

[shy marlin]

Some are completely unreasonable and bring a mistlands tier axe into the deep north

[merry pebble]

Maybe she knows something we dont

[tacit crystal]

Iirc it was coolness choice of Josefin (the one who narrates Hervor).

[simple folio]

finally killed the queen, that took a while, almost broke my lv 3 mistwalker twice lol

[elfin rampart]

is desync still a thing in valheim , i have been considered getting a serverfor me and my friends

[merry pebble]

Depends how good your connections are, but there will almost always be some

[paper marsh]

About as much use as any other weapon in the game.

It kills stuff. With bronze level damage

[paper marsh]

Like lag? When I played with friends a couple years ago it was fine, though we were all on the same continent.

If you’re playing with people far away it’s probably never gonna be lag free

[rocky nebula]

I always go for one, feel pretty optimal

[crisp tartan]

the dundr is super cool, kinda annyoing to get a bloodstoen for each upgrade though

damn i cant type

[sullen sluice]

Outta curiosity, is Valheim only on Steam? Also, anything floating around saying it may one day get ported to PS5 or something similar?

[merry pebble]

Also on Xbox and Mac, and no, no plans for it coming to PS that we know of.

[sullen sluice]

Sometimes I swear Xbox gets the better end lol thanks 👍

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️

[daring sinew]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT PUT SILVER INTO A BLAST FURNACE

[shy marlin]

WHAT

[paper marsh]

Does feel rather silly

[steel mica]

[merry pebble]

I mean you have to put it to normal smelter 😄

[cold elm]

Which is kinda convenient considering which biome/stage you find silver ore...

[brittle escarp]

Anyone looking to play? I'm down to join add me 61794143

[merry pebble]

Someone in #1024264966712340510 might 😄

[paper marsh]

Guys I can't lie, my fit is ugly af rn. Going for usefulness does not correspond with going for style

[shy marlin]

A transmute armor appearance system would be cool

[paper marsh]

Systems like that are pretty cool, but I somehow end up NEVER using them

[warped remnant]

i must say the darkwoods in the night and fog combines makes it really dark

[steel mica]

[daring sinew]

I really hope they don't go back and over-simplify game features like so many other devs do. I like how there are diferent kinds of woods that you need to collect even in the early game. like instead of finewood it could just be a crafting addon that lets you make furnature but no its a unique resource

[grim pulsar]

guys how much time were u finding yagluth

literally i explored 2 and half fallings and didnt find this

[vocal rivet]

You explored two and a half what?

[grim pulsar]

half cuz i explored third in about 50%

[exotic cradle]

what did you explore though 🥲

[vocal rivet]

Does he mean Fuling camps?

[grim pulsar]

this biome

bro in poland this is called rowniny

is it plains?

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, Plains.

[grim pulsar]

sorry 4 that

so how much time

[warm sandal]

Yagluth is notorious for being hard to find. I have been sailing a lot to find yagluth in almost any playthrough I have been playing. I think he is the hardest to find boss in all of the game up to now. You can get lucky and spot his arena from shore while sailing by, if you don't you might have to run many plains to find him (luckyly his arena is not easy to miss if in rendering distance)

[azure yacht]

1-50 hours

[grim pulsar]

okay thanks

[exotic cradle]

you're better off finding the altar than the veggy

[tacit crystal]

Iirc it's because the vegvisirs found in plains is around the same as in surface of earlier biomes, but since all earlier biomes have interior dungeons where you can also find vegvisirs it makes finding Yagluth much harder due to more limited numbers of them. Increasing their numbers so they could also possibly be found in the fuling villages for example would solve the issue.

[merry pebble]

The structures in plains that can have vegvisirs are also rarer than the same ones from black forest for example 🙂 (or at least it 100% feels that way 😄 )

[vocal rivet]

They definitely are. Villages should really have them too.

[merry pebble]

Oh for sure 😄 But i was more just comparing the stone towers from BF and stonehenges in plains

[tacit crystal]

Stone buildings in plains could also be the possible source of vegvisirs.

[paper marsh]

Man being wet and freezing is terrible. Actual snail's pace stamina regen

Huh rain actually overides the freezing of the mountain. So while its raining you at least can't freeze

But once the rain stops you'll be wet and freezing :/

[fossil delta]

The funniest incident on one of the servers I ran, is one player decided to go into the mountains, using camp fires. I warned him how that could turn out badly. He still did it, then a storm came, and put all his fires out. So he ran for the nearest safe area, and just as he was about to reach it, a wolf took him out. I got a good laugh at that one. I still get a good chuckle from just recalling it.

[warm sandal]

I had such friends too that would not listen to good advice. They all stopped playing because they found the game way to grindy and hard (i suspect they did not like it in the least to get rescued by little old me all the time). So now I play solo all the time and try to heed my own advice 😄

[median ibex]

Returning to the swamp after getting silver gear is giving me a power trip.

[analog jackal]

Were 2 star hares and seekers always a thing? I swear after so many hours i've never ever seen those 2 until today

[merry pebble]

Yep they were 🙂

[analog jackal]

But it must be like a 0.00001 chance right?

[nocturne wolf]

Probably 1% like most 2-stars

The 2-star seekers are a little harder to find since they can only spawn at night outside of certain structures

[analog jackal]

I found one in an infested mine

Orange-red glow, i immediately paused the game to ask about the 2 stars here haha

They pack a punch right? I'm thinking of parrying it

[nocturne wolf]

You might not be able to. The safest way to hit a seeker is jumping over and hitting it from behind.

Because of how armor works 2-star enemies are much harder to parry in the later biomes

[analog jackal]

Yeah, i might have to just keep dodging or something then

i'll be glad if my carapace spear scratches him

I've also never seen a 1* let alone 2* seeker soldier, is that also an occurence?

[nocturne wolf]

Yeah, a 2-star seeker soldier was the first mistlands enemy I found

[analog jackal]

I've played through the mistlands god knows how many times and i've never seen a 1* XD

But 1* regular seekers are more common for me than no star

[tacit crystal]

Seeker soldiers deal less damage than regular seekers tho. 👀

[nocturne wolf]

They take a lot longer to kill, especially when you don't know about the weak spot yet

[tacit crystal]

At least the starred soldiers are easier to parry than starred seekers in my experience.

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers deal 90-120 damage depending on the attack, seeker soldiers deal 100-120 and don't have pierce damage to be resisted by the harnesk.

[tacit crystal]

Huh, it was that for soldiers too? Hasn't felt like that tbh.

[analog jackal]

I feel like maining a spear for the last 2 biomes is hell

Everything resists

[nocturne wolf]

It's never too late to try something new

[analog jackal]

I've tried it all, i wanted to go back to spears cause i used them in my first ever playthrough

And then quit before the mountains to switch to swords

Actually i haven't tried it all now that i think about it i still didn't touch magic :D

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I tried out magic for a couple of runs. I still much prefer melee. A couple of cool things I miss about it, mainly the protective bubble, and summoning.

[paper marsh]

Doing something similar on my permadeath run rn 😅

[quasi latch]

This is actually a viable strategy, but you need to use bonfires instead.

[merry pebble]

Campfires are 100% viable strategy 😄

[hollow zodiac]

does the UI change depending on what bosses you kill? My friend just pointed that out

[merry pebble]

Only UI element that changes in any relation to bosses is the forsaken power you can use, and even that you must change yourself

[median ibex]

I heard you can resummon bosses, but I'm not able to resummon Eikthyr even though I have the 2 Deer Trophies on me.

[nocturne wolf]

I'm not sure why that wouldn't be working
Usually the only time you can't resummon is when the same altar is currently summoning a boss (You can have multiple alive at the same time)

[paper marsh]

put trophies in your hotbar, look at altar then click the hotbar button?

[quasi latch]

You gotta have them in your hotbar and press the corresponding hotbar button

[median ibex]

Ah! That makes sense, then.
Yeah, my friend has always been the one to actually summon the boss each time, so I didn't know that.

[vocal rivet]

Wow, The Complete Written Valheim Guide. Looks great until you start reading and it gives you a huge list of mods you need to follow the guide. Not great for beginners. Shame, as they've put so much work into it.

[tacit crystal]

Where it's written?

[fossil delta]

38 Wolf meat, pretty sure that is a new record for us getting Hunted.

Definitely one of our highest in a long time.

[vocal rivet]

It's on Reddit.

[ashen geyser]

*The Complete Written Guide of Modded Valheim(theres a mod that removes mist from MISTlands haha)

[tacit crystal]

Some people really looking for anything to remove any environmental challenges. Let me guess, is there mod listed that gives item that grants perma immunity to getting wet from rain?

[median ibex]

Crystal Battleaxe so good..

[median ibex]

People really be allergic to the Rested buff.

[nocturne wolf]

Shame it's the last one

[tacit crystal]

Not just that but allergic to general preparedness for harder content, rushing to feel like raiding vikings and then getting whooped.

[median ibex]

Sprinting everywhere instead of moving into unfamiliar areas with stamina to spare, as well...

Not being mindful of corners / otherwise just not respecting where enemies could be...

[tacit crystal]

Stamina management.

[plush umbra]

i couldn't imagine not calmly walking anywhere i go

[nocturne wolf]

Battleaxe doesn't give you a choice with -20% speed

[median ibex]

I also see people refuse to put their weapons on their back to retain movement speed when not fighting, which further reduces their stamina economy when they're sprinting like mad.

Once saw someone trek through a Swamp with their Battleaxe in hand the entire time.

[plush umbra]

always felt that running is affected more harshly by movement speed reduction than walking, running feels so pointless if you're weighed down a lot

i really might be wrong about that though haha

just remember testing it with heavy armor, a tower shield and 1h weapon, and running felt almost exactly as slow as walking

[tacit crystal]

Fortunately we have Ratatosk tonic now.

Except I'm not allowed for that in my current run... 🥲

[median ibex]

If Battleaxes have to suffer -20% movement, then so should Atgeirs.

[plush umbra]

-# i think they did before H&H

[median ibex]

Atgeir buffing is insane tbh.

[plush umbra]

as a polearm main, i won't fight it :>

[tacit crystal]

-10% would be good alternative for 2h weapons.

[median ibex]

I agree
Atgeirs down to -10%
Battleaxes up to -10%

[tacit crystal]

2h swords too.

[median ibex]

(Also, perhaps a smidge of a damage buff for Battleaxe primary attacks? I love them, but the opener needs some juice imo)

[plush umbra]

i feeeel like battleaxes should be just a touch heavier than polearms, got a lot more metal on em

[median ibex]

Their attacks are super slow already, if that helps with the fantasy.

[plush umbra]

just not as big a difference as -20% vs -5%

[median ibex]

Level 4 Draugr Fang... Life is good...

[tacit crystal]

They use almost as much metal to craft (yeah, iron battleaxe requires 35 and atgeir 30, but upgrades cost the same).

[plush umbra]

oh i didn't mean the material costs, those are all kinds of wack anyway haha

[median ibex]

40 Silver for a Silver Sword btw

:)

[obsidian raven]

The game does have a problem with conservation of mass

[plush umbra]

and himmin afl costing silver despite not dealing any spirit damage
spine snap showing silver in its model and dealing spirit damage but not costing any
skoll and hati costing BM and iron but showing bronze (or copper?) in its model instead of iron
the list goes on

[obsidian raven]

Perhaps the speed at which you craft converts some of the mass into energy

[plush umbra]

feels like mistlands specifically had their recipes partially randomized just before release

[river forge]

Mistlands is hell

[tacit crystal]

Well, there is this historical detail about battleaxes being actually even bit lighter than regular axes they used.

[river forge]

Everything jagged mountains and fog

Think it's what they intended?

[nocturne wolf]

Having fog in mistlands seems intentional to me

[river forge]

The geography is insane

[median ibex]

Mountain foods, finally...
God, having enough stamina to use the Battleaxe even more aggressively is so nice

[plush umbra]

it is~
but i'm pretty sure the POI density is higher, and enemies' vision is also affected by the mist, so it imo feels natural to adapt to the mist by slowing down your pace of exploration

[tacit crystal]

Imagine Mistlands without mist... Just Lands.

[median ibex]

Visiblelands

[dusty cedar]

Does this game have public servers or do most people just play with friends

[nocturne wolf]

There are no public servers but you can find a group to play with in #1024264966712340510

[median ibex]

The best part about tech progression is having usable stamina levels.

[merry pebble]

Iirc that has been explained in that way that you use lots of resources to make stuff, but then you never need any for repairs 🙂

[quasi latch]

You can use it comfortably with HSS food even in Swamp
I run sausage, turnip soup, and carrot soup there and have enough stamina

[shy marlin]

SSS or noob

Those are just da rules sry

[nocturne wolf]

Don't you mean or noob?

[quasi latch]

Carrot soup over muckshake because it's easier to farm

If you can get a hold of it, ocean feast replaces carrot soup. Same stamina but 3x the health and 2.5x the duration

[loud finch]

Heyyyy

[steel mica]

no food at all

[tacit crystal]

We dead already, why we need to eat in afterlife world?

[merry pebble]

You dont but you are stronger if you do

[nocturne wolf]

There's so many new flavours in the tenth world though

[shy marlin]

Rotting entrails filled with boar meat 😍

Mmmm necks are so tasty tho 😏

[nocturne wolf]

⚖️

[shy marlin]

D:

[merry pebble]

"Looks like meat Scales is back on the menu boys!"

[shy marlin]

I ain't going down without a fight

Good luck.

[merry pebble]

We just cant let you have 4 pieces of wood and we are fine 😏

[last elm]

Is there a better way of getting carrot seeds than just running around and stumbling upon those flowers?

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂

But after you get the first flower you have an infinite amount of them essentially, so its not that bad 😄

[last elm]

How infinite?

[quasi latch]

Plant a carrot seed, get a carrot. Plant a carrot, get 3 carrot seeds. Not including farming skill bonuses.

[last elm]

Okay, I'll do that. Didn't know you could plant a grown carrot

[last elm]

What about blueberries? I know there's an abundance of them in the black forests but can you plant them as well or no?

[merry pebble]

No you cant

[quasi latch]

Mark down clusters to revisit later

[daring sinew]

is it a bad idea to make a farm in the plains

[merry pebble]

Nope, it is quite necessary actually 😄

[daring sinew]

there aint no way a deathsquito should be able to chase me into the mountians cmon

[vocal rivet]

Why not?

[steel mica]

Anything you can forage like raspberries, blueberries etc cannot be planted/farm but with only a few exceptions

which most of those exceptions are mid-late game

[last elm]

I marked down 4 clusters and I got 37 total

[median ibex]

Just planted ~350 onions.
Feeling good.

[median ibex]

Why is it necessary to make a farm in the Plains, may I ask?
Is it that Flax and Barley only grow in the Plains?

[fossil sapphire]

thats awesome 300~ is the sweet spot for me

[stray island]

past the mountains, different biomes require you to plant their respective crops exclusively in those biomes.

theres a mod that disables that but if youre running vanilla youll have to make a farm in each of the different biomes starting at the plains

[fossil delta]

We find Mistlands while looking for Yag, so of course my wife has to go in and find the blue mushrooms and start a farm and kill Hares as often as possible, with a lot of help from Deathsquittos and Lox. Can we find Yag first?

Fortunately it seems to be a small corner of the current "continent". so it has yet to spawn any seekers, etc... yet, being the key word.

[dusty silo]

I just made my self at home in the ashlands and am wondering if there is some settings i dont know about to help with the heat hase or something its giving me a headach???? any help would be amazing !

[vocal rivet]

You can, as you always have been able to, just hold E.

[quiet eagle]

But spaming the Button is much faster

[vocal rivet]

Far less enjoyable though.

Oh well, problem solved.

[paper marsh]

Ngl I like going to mistlands early. Like I might go there pre-moder for some food, and I might get full mistlands gear before Yag. IMO yag doesn’t give you much to survive in the mistlands

But proper progression is nice too

[cold elm]

Being able to see is nice for survival I think...

[vocal rivet]

Wisp torches are your friends.

[lunar sapphire]

Bit of a blank moment here. Do placed log piles and related count as mob spawn reduction pieces? (similar to campfires and work stations)

[foggy glacier]

no. Only base items. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[lunar sapphire]

cool cool, I did check but just wanted confirmation

trying to get max spawns in a deforested black forest 😛
and wanting to save the wood

[paper marsh]

For sure, but even after defeating Yag, visibility is quite low. And Mistlands is kinda built up around you not needing to see anything other than what's immediately next to you

There's also pockets of mistlands with no mist

[sacred bolt]

I might be the luckiest mf ever

I just randomly found the mountains boss spawn altar right next to my mountains base w/o a wayfinder

[paper marsh]

nice

[sacred bolt]

This saves so much time it's insane

[paper marsh]

Mountain boss can sometimes be pretty hard to find, especially without a wayfinder

[sacred bolt]

I am grinding mob drops atm I wanna get the full wolf armor set

[paper marsh]

Wolf armor is tanky af

But despite being a snail I live for speed

[sacred bolt]

I am planning to get both

but I love the design of wolf

Oh and then I found a wayfinder like 5 mins later LOL

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/schnecke-speed-snail-fly-rocket-gif-16379785

[paper marsh]

I am very much a fan of mixing and matching armors for max benefit

which makes for terrible aesthetics

[sacred bolt]

Is there a way to modify spawn rates on mobs?

[paper marsh]

Not without mods, pretty sure

You can just make them stronger and tankier, or make raids trigger more often

[sacred bolt]

Sadge cus I rly don't wanna modify the rates items are obtained

[paper marsh]

Looking for wolf drops?

[sacred bolt]

Drake Drops

Need 2 trophies for the helmet

[paper marsh]

There's a drake raid. Could up raid rate and maybe have a drake raid come by

Probably more hassle than just hunting them though. That said specifically trophies I believe are unaffected by drop rate multiplier

[cold elm]

Mark their nests and revisit them every now and then.

[paper marsh]

I'm at about the same spot in progression as you and got lucky af, got 2 drake trophies after killing 8 drakes

On average you'd have to kill 40

[cold elm]

Mine some silver in between nest raids, that seem to attract a lot of drakes too.

[merry pebble]

The nests are only one time spawns 😉 after you kill them the first time there isnt any higher chance for them to be there than anywhere else on the mountain 🙂

[sacred bolt]

Huh the spear is a super value weapon

upgrading it is super easy

[tacit crystal]

The eggs respawn after some time, but drakes don't.

[paper marsh]

Spear is my favorite weapon in the game. Super cheap to make and upgrade. High damage. Doesn't rely on comboes so you don't need to be afraid of losing out on damage or getting too greedy in damage windows. Staggers easily due to high damage and a lack of a combo.

The throw is super versatile. Outclassed by bows but tbh what isn't
Only thing is that they're pierce damage which is kinda meh

Oh also you build spear skill faster than any other melee weapon I believe. Knives might be close but I think spear levels up fastest

[open pecan]

I want to get on the spear train but I always fear launching it into the mists while throwing it.

[paper marsh]

Yeah keeping track of it and knowing its physics in mistlands and mountain is important.

But even just as a melee weapon its great

[open pecan]

If they don't give me MOAR FISTS then I will consider it on my next playthrough. 🫡

And the ability to lose it might be why it is so cheap to make/upgrade.

[paper marsh]

I'd more think its because a spear physically requires less of the important materials. Like a sword you need to craft a full blade out of metal. For a spear its just the tip

[open pecan]

Ahh the old "just the tip" adage.

[tacit crystal]

They were historically much cheaper to make for mass infantry.

Also axes, versus swords which were for more richer and in higher hierarchy.

[vocal rivet]

No-one is clicking that.

[open pecan]

I did because I'm a BOD MON.

[stray island]

I mean as a first playthrough I think it defeats the purpose of the game to remove stuff like that but if you’ve played a lot and you’re looking to change things up I don’t see an issue.

[queen thicket]

I've been decorating a place recently, and trying to fit all of the trophies in a reasonable area around the building. But good god, why is the bone maw trophy SO big?!?! it looks awkward, and out of place almost no matter how you place it. It's bigger than the queen, and fader.

[paper marsh]

Big boi needs space

[dusty silo]

i thought the game got rid of the flamemetal sinking ?

[paper marsh]

I think they reduced the chance a lot. Like now it’s only a 1% chance per pickaxe hit for it to sink. Or something like that

[dusty silo]

i hit it once ... then got attacked by birds and by the time i was done killin the birds it was in the lava 😭

[paper marsh]

Best clear out the area first

Also if you got a good pickaxe, pickaxe skill, and queen power you can one shot the flammetal deposits which might help

[rare heath]

any 1 have a server i can join

[fossil delta]

It sure seems like they love to respawn around the egg sites, but I definitely have been finding drakes far more than wolves. Except when we get hunted. I have to admit, when you get 20 to 39 wolves per hunt, it sure feels like it makes up for how few there are, otherwise.

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

[rare heath]

cant see to find one to join

im on the last boss

[dusky glen]

Ooof good luck lol

Fader is nasty

[fossil delta]

I think this community has requirements for people to see all the channels. Because spammers suck. I forget what they are, since I have been "here" since nearly the beginning.

[rare heath]

im not sure what that means but ill try some wheres else hard to find people to play with

[dusky glen]

They can see that channel, just not able to find a group to join. I have seen them post in the lfg section

[fossil delta]

Not a lot of people like to read the community rules or the channels and roles info.

[dusky glen]

You can try other Valheim social media pages. Sometimes there are server host ppl recruiting for players.

[light moat]

Looks like they just reached out to a group, I would guess it could take some time to get a response 🤔

[rare heath]

i been looking i was palying with my sister but she cant play so i was hoping to find otehrs its not as fun by yourself

[paper marsh]

I typically skip bonemass to avoid the wolf raid 😅

[dusky glen]

big agree there, defs best with friends

[rare heath]

im not the best a discord haha i find it hard to navigate

wbu you robert are you playiong with a group of freinds alreaduy?

[fossil delta]

We do well at finding silver. We have apparently been playing for so long we can just tell when its a "good spot" to dig, so find a fair number of veins. Like this last time, we had Frostner at lvl 3, so Bonemass was pretty easy to take down.

[paper marsh]

Yeah I feel like silver is plentiful enough in the mountains. As long as you're high enough you don't need a wishbone or stagbreaker

So bonemass drop being useless, bonemass power being too op for me to bother using, and bonemass activating an annoying af raid when you're on a max raid rate, makes him an easy skip for me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its gotten to the point where I didn't swing Stagbreaker or the Sledge a single time to find silver. We do like getting the wishbone to find all the iron randomly buried in the swamps.

[paper marsh]

Is there much iron outside the crypts though? Feels like its just one scrap pile here and there, and sometimes you can't even mine the whole thing due to water

[fossil delta]

It seems to vary from swamp to swamp, and the water is often a huge pain for getting it all.

[dusky glen]

Depends on the swamp but not really a whole lot as far as I have found. Mostly super handy if you need to get some quick iron for like a stone cutter somewhere away from your main supply.

[paper marsh]

I wish treasure hunting would actually be worth it. It's a pretty cool concept, even when its having you go back to meadows and you realize those little rock formations actually carry goodies underneath

[fossil delta]

You certainly are not going to get huge numbers like you can inside of crypts, or later, in Mistlands.

[dusky glen]

Like you have to dig? Or you just mean like the random jewel or coins sitting on the found under them?

Oh man, Mistalands iron is broken lol awesome discovery taking the big bridges apart

[paper marsh]

have to dig down in some (or all?) of the stone circles in the meadows and there's a box with valuables

[fossil delta]

With the 3 vendors, we are finding having coin much more worth it. Like my wife LOVES the feasts you can make with stuff you get from the witch. I have to admit, I am growing to like them as well, Having food that lasts for 50 minutes is rather nice.

[dusky glen]

Heck yeah, plus they look great for decor!

[fossil delta]

Yep, my wife loves the candles for that reason too.

[paper marsh]

I still need to really try out the feasts

[dusky glen]

Yeah, I knew about the circles but I meant more like the stone stacks that look like they should been a chamber entrace

[paper marsh]

Don't think those have treasure

[fossil delta]

If he is talking about what I think he is, they occasionally have coins, pearls and amber sitting on the one stone. I mainly like those for easy bones.

[tacit crystal]

They useful.

[dusky glen]

I have defs found some gold/amber under them

Not every single one, but sometimes it's just bones

[fossil delta]

Which ones are you talking about? I only know about the ones shaped like an outline of a boat for digging under. The stones that spawn skeletons at night have the loot sitting on top of that one stone.

[tacit crystal]

There can also be fire arrows.

[quasi latch]

Ocean feast as early as swamp tier is like HS food in the space of one slot, it's awesome

[dusky glen]

lemme see if I can find a pick online or something

[paper marsh]

I am curious if feasts will sort of mess up a challenge I'm doing this run.

I guess I'll have to see when I get to them

[fossil delta]

We have yet to get the ocean recipe. Heck, we just got the mountain recipe due to beating Moder.

[quasi latch]

Have you ||killed a serpent||?

[dusky glen]

Ope, jk, it won't let me paste a pic in this channel lol

Could I dm it to you?

[fossil delta]

Litterally just yesterday. We have not had to sail to get to all the bosses, so far. We have yet to find Yag, so we may end up sailing around for him, but we also found Mistlands yesterday, so my wife has had us playing around in there, instead of looking for Yag. 😄

[dusky glen]

wife is brave lol I don't go near Mistlands without my lil mistlight

[fossil delta]

We didn't even get it from sailing, we were literally fishing on shore when it popped up.

[fossil delta]

I prefer to call her crazy, but we can go with brave.

[dusky glen]

I'm sure she loves that

[quasi latch]

She sounds like a real one in any case

[fossil delta]

She seems to take pride in being crazy.

[paper marsh]

I will say some weapons are pretty impressive in mistlands. Like skipping from mountains to mistlands, frostner or fleshrippers will tear up seekers

Fleshripper kick I believe insta staggers them if they're not starred

[dusky glen]

Okay, so the wiki says they are called Dolmen

[dusky glen]

I've never actually used the flesh rippers, I prefer a ranged approach to combat lol

[open pecan]

You gotta try them Rippers™.

[paper marsh]

I'm the opposite heh 😅

I've had to ban bows from my playthrough

[dusky glen]

I would be devastated lmao

[fossil delta]

Huh, I never found anything above ground with those, so yeah, I guess we need to try digging now. 😄

[paper marsh]

I play pretty hardcore on my playthroughs, actual masochist stuff

[fossil delta]

Those are rare compared to all the other stone features.

[paper marsh]

Permadeath, no op weapons like bows and atgeirs, no resistance meads, blabla

[dusky glen]

I'm not into hardcore lol am too terrible at combat for that ]

[dusky glen]

I did not think they were rare, I see them all over the place in the meadows, sometimes in the black forest

[fossil delta]

I played before we could adjust the difficulty, so I stopped doing dodge rolls and parry because they made the game too easy. Now I don't do them due to ingrained habit.

[dusky glen]

I think I have maybe rolled like twice in all my 1800+ hours lmao

[fossil delta]

I don't see them nearly as often as the ones with the skeletons, or the boats.

[dusky glen]

I actually see the "crashed" boats a lot less than the Dolmen structures

[fossil delta]

I stopped doing them in my first hundred hours or so, and I am at about 4500 now. So its been a long time.

[dusky glen]

4500! Makes me feels so green lmao

[fossil delta]

I still rarely die. Think I have died 5 or 6 times this play through, and I am not even trying to do zero deaths. Can't do that while playing with my wife. She gets me into too much crazy stuff.

[dusky glen]

Cause she is the ballsy one eh

[fossil delta]

I ran server for a while, so got in a LOT of play time.

[tacit crystal]

Crystal Battleaxe is quite good too because it staggers them seekers easier, even thought they resist physical damage.

[fossil delta]

Ballsy, crazy, same thing.

[dusky glen]

Brave!

[fossil delta]

I love that battle axe, So fun to use. I hate it when I put it away.

[shy marlin]

No food perma when

[dusky glen]

No food!? Nutty

[fossil delta]

Well, you are talking to someone who appears to love being a vampire, so....

[paper marsh]

Eh sounds a bit boring to me

And probably also too tough for me if I keep the rest of my challenges, which I want to keep because they’re a lot of fun

[last elm]

does anyone have a link to the wind schedule?

[shy marlin]

Only way to regain hp is thru pots, 25hp, 50 stam is boring?

[fossil delta]

They used to be pinned in the help channel. Probably still are.

[paper marsh]

Currently this is what I’m playing on and so far I enjoy it. May have to add some berserker mead or feast restrictions idk. Haven’t really tried those systems much yet

[muted bolt]

Hey looking for someone to play with. Anyone interested dm.. I have mic for discord

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510 is probably your best way to find people.

[shy marlin]

One magic food allows for staff of prot which kinda ruins it imo, unless your banning staff of prot

[muted bolt]

Ty

[fossil delta]

That Staff is hard to give up. The only thing that really tempts me to do magic. The summoning is a close second.

[light moat]

Just got my staff of protection to level 4 the other day. 4 minute bubble 🫧

[tacit crystal]

You could use Crystal battleaxe in Ashlands still, the extra spirit damage is useful against Charred.

[fossil delta]

Thats one thing that kind of irritates me, not one weapon type works well through the entire game. Like clubs/maces are great all the way through plains, but then you have to vary it up. Even bow starts to suck with all the pierce resistance.

[sacred bolt]

is the drake bow mandatory for mountains boss cus I rly like my huntsman

[shy marlin]

no

[paper marsh]

Haven't fully made my mind up. Haven't tried this challenge before so we'll see when I get to mistlands.

Generally a lot of my playthrough centers around just not cheesing and overabusing stuff though, so even with one eitr food I wouldn't be spamming staff of proc. But I do find it fun using staff of protection to parry attacks, especially when I'm using weapons that are less effective at parrying like knives (not sure how they do on Hard, but I know they felt useless to parry with on Vhard)

[fossil delta]

Huntsman works just fine with Moder.

[paper marsh]

Huntsman is fine. Melee weapons are fine

[sacred bolt]

Ill then use spear + hunstman

[tacit crystal]

Huntsman is great. It is more silent bow than any other.

[shy marlin]

Does the game ever hint at that?

[fossil delta]

The Eikthyr power is my favorite for Moder. Gives me plenty of stamina for chasing her around the rocks. 😄

[tacit crystal]

It isn't visible in its properties.

[paper marsh]

Not really, which sucks

[shy marlin]

They should prolly change that

[sacred bolt]

I figured a pretty good strat to silver mining due to how lucky I got

[fossil delta]

I think only the wiki points things like that out.

[sacred bolt]

I just take down a vein, put everything into a cart next to downhill and go to the next one.

In the end just go downhill back to base

[paper marsh]

How much silver do you need?

[sacred bolt]

I still need around 400 ish

[paper marsh]

I suppose you did say you were making the armor and sword, that is quite a drain

I usually get by on like one silver vein maybe two

[fossil delta]

Depends on how much you want to max out, as usual.

[sacred bolt]

I am not planning to max my armor

[dusky glen]

This seems so simple yet so brilliant to me and I am baffled at never thinking of it myself

[sacred bolt]

Just the sword spear and hammer

[paper marsh]

Iron though, now that's a grind.

Especially when you need ||balistae and beartraps|| guarding your base

[last elm]

I was about to fight The Elder and then a thunderstorm started

[fossil delta]

I rather enjoy getting iron in the Mistlands. Especially when we tear down the bridges, etc...

[sacred bolt]

The community here has made me like the game a lot more too, whenever I have something to ask yall are so nice

[nocturne wolf]

Each boss has a unique weather environment so they’ll all cancel rain except for Bonemass who forces it.

[patent blaze]

bonemass the bane of my existence

[quasi latch]

Bonemass was the easiest boss for me

[fossil delta]

Those new meads look nice. I think we have made all of them, so far. We have yet to catch all the types of fish, so maybe not.

[paper marsh]

I think the only time I really hate rain is in the mountains

Kinda in mistlands too but at least by then you have good movement and stamina

[quasi latch]

Like, I died more to Eithkyr than him

[patent blaze]

i HATE fighting bonemass hes easy to cheese but ion really like cheesing bosses

[paper marsh]

With bonemass I tend to just kinda tank all his poison. And then dodge his slaps

[open pecan]

But he's how I raise my bow skill until we get practice targets!

[fossil delta]

I really like the mead for running. What is it? +10 to skill and a 15% bonus?

[nocturne wolf]

Last time I fought Bonemass I didn’t move from where he spawned

[quasi latch]

I half dodge, half tank his poison and half parry, quarter roll, and quarter tank the slaps

[paper marsh]

That sounds amazing. I gotta find me these meads (find bog witch, I suppose)

[sacred bolt]

Bonemass was super chill I just 1v1d him and drank healing potions

[dusky glen]

Yeeyee, I loooove sprinting in games lol so the speedy mead is proly my fave addition

[paper marsh]

Boss 4 is when things start getting tough imo

That boss has some high numbers behind its attacks

[fossil delta]

Yep, she sells the key ingredients for a lot of cool things. I think you need two perch for the mead.

[sacred bolt]

so Moder is a skill check?

[fossil delta]

Moder spends a lot of time in the air, so she is a rather different fight than all the previous bosses.

[paper marsh]

A bit. Her attacks aren't too hard to dodge (depending on how heavy armor and weapons you're using) and you can just engage at range, but if she does hit you its an oof

When I was playing on Vhard it was definitely the fight I had to prepare the most for. Had to absolutely maximize bonusses gained from armor and food, and go I think triple health food to be able to just barely survive her highest damage attack

On regular difficulty obviously not as bad, but it still hurts

[fossil delta]

Its why I prefer the Eikthyr power for Moder. A LOT of running to get to her for melee.

[paper marsh]

First power gotten in the game = Best power in the game 😎

[fossil delta]

Definitely the one I use the most, by far.

[dusky glen]

I use bonemass more since I like light armor and high stam lol the bonemass has gotten me outta some sticky situations.

[paper marsh]

Moder is kinda unique too because the game is set up to where you can actually skip all the bosses and progress through the game just fine, except Moder who really hard locks a lot of things

I don't think Mistlands boss locks much but tbh haven't played Ashlands since release

[fossil delta]

I think Moder is still the only one to hard lock foods and gear.

[shy marlin]

ye

[paper marsh]

Let's see if Deep North changes things

I could totally see people killing Moder then skipping to DN

[fossil delta]

I mean, Mistlands is kind of a hard lock for me too, because I have a lot of vision issues before you add in the mists.

[paper marsh]

Althuogh I feel like iron gate would put a fairly hard lock in place there, either through genuinely tough survivability without the drop, or outright locking stuff

[chrome badge]

You don't like using wisp torches?

[fossil delta]

We are talking about boss skipping, but yeah, I love the torches and my wisp.

[paper marsh]

I just rely super heavily on hearing in mistlands, or if things get bad I'll retreat to a mistfree area to fight (I usually try to mentally map out where mist free areas are)

[chrome badge]

Yeah I got the context, just pointing out you can solve any vision issues with wisp torches.

[fossil delta]

I rely on hearing in every biome. Its often why I know an attack is coming.

[dusky glen]

Yes! Sound queues are so important

[fossil delta]

When I ran servers, it shocked me how few people listened for the sounds.

[chrome badge]

Animations are far more reliable in my experience.

[dusky glen]

Friends were over for a party one night so there was obvs some beverages involved. I don't indulge so I was stone cold sober but my one friend hopped on my husband comp to try playing in our Valheim server for a little bit but his headset was too big for her and she died SO many times just cause she couldn't hear

[nocturne wolf]

Sounds are the only consistent way to tell if a charred warrior is feinting

[chrome badge]

Also, I can crank up Wardruna while playing

[chrome badge]

Just double block everytime though

[dusky glen]

Visual is not enough if a baddie is coming up behind you

[paper marsh]

I've never been able to tell feints. But I've also never missed a parry against a feint

I just block when it looks like they're gonna attack, and if its a feint I just release the block key and press again bc they're gonna follow up with a real attack afterwards anyways

[shy marlin]

Double block is sub optimal 🤷‍♂️

[chrome badge]

For me it is 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

Only when you see them. You can always hear the enemy. If your listening. I do tend to be zoomed out a lot as well. So sound is better in tombs and caves, since we can't be zoomed out in those.

[nocturne wolf]

The charred warrior swing feint has a 8 second cooldown while all their other attacks are 3 seconds so if they did a swing feint recently and start another swing it has to be the normal one.

[dusky glen]

What if you are walking around in the mist, no light, stark naked, no weapons, trying to retrieve your death marker with all your gear in it and you wanna avoid running into the crawlers?

[paper marsh]

Getting shot by a Gjall from behind because you weren't listening hurts

Always listen up kids

[fossil delta]

Sound helps me a LOT in the Mistlands. With seekers, soldiers, and gjall.

[nocturne wolf]

What happens when you double block Lord Reto?

[chrome badge]

Or just clear mist with torches and survey the areas surrounding you on height

[fossil delta]

Heck, sounds have helped me not kill Dvergrs. 😄 I get rather jumpy in the Mistlands.

[chrome badge]

His animations are even more telling, they were talking about charred warriors

[paper marsh]

I still need to try and make my fantasy of recruiting a 2 star ice mage to defend my ashalnds base come true

[fossil delta]

Likely a mod for that. 😄 They seem to make mods for everything. Not that I have used them for Valheim. Still mod free. Except for that one server. They didn't believe I died so little, so tracked all our deaths.

[dusky glen]

Haters

[paper marsh]

Nah mods are too easy. I need to figure out doing it the vanilla way

[open pecan]

Do they get pissed when you harpoon them? 🤔

[paper marsh]

I'm gonna try to make a lot of creative defenses on this max raids run

None of these trenches and earth walls

[fossil delta]

Yeah, shockingly Valheim is still a lot of fun for my wife and I in full vanilla.

[paper marsh]

Yea. I'm guessing I'd have to get them into a cart and then into a boat. And then build something at my base where he can shoot from but can't move out of. Lil' wizards tower

I have like zero experience moving mobs with boats though. It sounds like a very painful experience

[fossil delta]

It can be a huge pain in the arse. I am so happy when I can get them back home by land.

[open pecan]

What about catapult?

No feather cape so probably wouldn't make it out of the hot water even if you could launch them with it. 🤔

[paper marsh]

Interesting thought. But yeah just not enough range

Maybe for short distance travel

[fossil delta]

Eh, they became believers. 😄 I died like 8 times, next closest was in their 30's.

[warped remnant]

hunted 6 Serpens

[torpid pollen]

question: When is the North being released?

[warped remnant]

kind of wanted more but i took a bit to long to find them

[open pecan]

No one knows, my guy.

[torpid pollen]

thx

[open pecan]

You bet.

[last elm]

I am now the proud owner of the elder trophy

[open pecan]

Hell yeah!

[paper marsh]

Whatcha gonna do with it?

[last elm]

I hung it up at spawn for the boost

[paper marsh]

That's the best use of it!

[last elm]

It was a pretty easy boss fight honestly. Never dropped below 50 hp and my max was like 90

[paper marsh]

Easy fight or godlike player?

[last elm]

Maybe "godlike player" because I scared off a troll right before the fight. I shot it twice and it ran away

[paper marsh]

Your reputation precedes you

[open pecan]

Probably forgot the stove was on.

[warped remnant]

what does the love potion even do

[paper marsh]

Shoots troll with fire arrow

"AAAAHHH I'm on fire!! - wait, that reminds me. Did I turn the stove off?"

returns home to realize his troll baby and troll wife are now just charred bodies in his home. The rest of his home is untouched because it's made of rock

[open pecan]

Increases Troll spawns.

[warped remnant]

why would be that a thing

[open pecan]

Honestly no clue other than maybe a way to farm gold?

A couple choices made in this game got me scratching my head but that's also why I love it.

[warped remnant]

money 💰 💰

[open pecan]

Yeah. That's probs what I'll use it for. Unless they come up with another use for blue leather.

[paper marsh]

Wait there's a ghost and wraith raid?

[open pecan]

Ye.

[paper marsh]

huh never had that one

[shy marlin]

Bog witch addition

[open pecan]

My fave because the || chains || just show up at my door.

[paper marsh]

ah that's why

[fiery jacinth]

Hello, fellow vikings!

[paper marsh]

Hello hello

[warped remnant]

some dead people come to you just to die again

[vocal rivet]

Like us then.

[quasi latch]

Free chain delivery

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its new. As in added in the last year. I never saw it before this past week. Chain delivery service...

[paper marsh]

Yeah seems like a cool raid. Sadly I won't experience it this run cuz I'm skipping bonemass

[fossil delta]

Bonemass unlocks it? IE defeating him? Makes sense. When are they going to do the Abomination raid? Seems like everything else in the swamps gets a raid...

[paper marsh]

Wraith trophy is so damn cool tho

My big issue with bonemass is he just perma unlocks so many raids. Mostly annoying ones

And being on max raid rate I wanna be pretty selective with what raids I unlock. Don't feel like getting raided by bats and skeletons constantly when I'm at Ashlands progression

[fossil delta]

My wife loves those ooze bombs, so loves that pig skin.

[vocal rivet]

Feels weird that they would leave the Swamp. Same with Stone Golems.

[quasi latch]

Battleaxe is really good against the wolf raid

Atgeir too, but at the same time it's broken against basically everything

[open pecan]

Wolves always raid me while I'm in the Plains for some reason so I just run to a Lox pack and let them battle it out.

[fossil delta]

My wife and I constantly get cross biome fights going. Shocking how fast Lox trash abominations.

[paper marsh]

It's always fun getting a wolf raid and then just sitting back as you watch a fuling village, a tar pit, and a wild pack of wolves causing carange

[fossil delta]

Run them into fuling villages. Its how we get 39 wolf meat from one Hunt. 😄

[paper marsh]

Dude cross biome fights are so fun. I also love that on higher difficulty mobs have more damage and you have less damage, so you can really see the difference between you trying to take something down versus enlisting some help

The worst part though is the rare occassion when you bring a troll to fight a stone golem, only to re-remember that they're bros

[tacit crystal]

Yeah it is: #memes-and-clips message (sharing shamelessly).

[fossil delta]

We found out 1 star trolls can beat abominations consistently. That was surprising.

[quasi latch]

Unless it's ||trollstav||

[fossil delta]

Nice that we found that out before we had iron axes for meleeing the abominations.

[quasi latch]

Battleaxe > iron axe

[paper marsh]

Trolls and abominations have pretty similar stats. To a player I'd say a troll is more dangerous than an abomination

[fallen sandal]

and why is that

[vocal rivet]

Why do you think someone would click a random TikTok link?

[fallen sandal]

why wouldn’t they

[vocal rivet]

Well, most of us aren't 12 and don't do TikTok but more importantly no-one is going to click a video without knowing what it was. If it was legit you'd have posted it in an appropriate channel.

[fallen sandal]

you saying i’m 12? 🤣

people do tiktok

maybe not 60yo but normal people usually have tiktok

[vocal rivet]

I don't believe I said that, no.

[azure yacht]

The point is that it's stupid in general to click random links from complete strangers on the internet

[fallen sandal]

it’s a tiktok video 😂

[vocal rivet]

Of what?

[fallen sandal]

wrh40k

[vocal rivet]

Then it has no place here.

[azure yacht]

Re-read what I said. Slowly if needed

[warped remnant]

what do you try to achieve by convincing us to click on this video

[fallen sandal]

i ain’t tryna convince nobody y’all be trippin

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 would be place for that (for non-Valheim related stuff), but without clarifying what it is most won't click it.

[fallen sandal]

y’all 45

[azure yacht]

No one should click random links. Period.

[tacit crystal]

How is age related to that?

[fossil delta]

But all those techs need people to get their computers and phones bricked by all those random virus'...

[chrome badge]

Who's nephew is this

[sacred bolt]

At 300 silver now, I need over 700 for max gear

gaming

[paper marsh]

Gamer gaming

[light moat]

One small loan of 700 silver

[sacred bolt]

Well it's gonna be 40 for the armor, 90 + 150 for both weapons

[paper marsh]

How much does a silver vein give, like 150?

[sacred bolt]

80

Idt I need to actually get more cus I am not full maxing

will see

[paper marsh]

Damn less than I expected

[sacred bolt]

cus I am switching right back to the root harnesk once I am done with the mountain stage

[open pecan]

Yeah 80 is so low. 😭

[paper marsh]

Yup, harnesk will carry you through every biome except like meadows/black forest/mountain

Even in Mountain it sometimes has its uses though

[tacit crystal]

83,3 ores is average based by Wiki.

[sacred bolt]

It's not much but it's honest work

I am just going to clear the 2 dungeons I found and then right into moder

after I get my weapons

[open pecan]

The frost caves?

[sacred bolt]

Yeah

[open pecan]

Love those.

[sacred bolt]

Smelting all this ore takes ages

[paper marsh]

You killed their family and raided their tower. That's why #screenshots message

Either gotta set up a shit ton of smelters,

Or smelt as a side task.

I prefer doing it as a side task

[sacred bolt]

I expand my housing usually on the side

[fossil delta]

We build up to 5 smelters and 4 kilns. Then go down to two smelters when we have the blast furnaces.

You always need coal, so we keep the kilns.

[daring sinew]

I thought fenris was the goat because speed

[fallen sandal]

im 19 🤣

[daring sinew]

wolf raids are nice cus you can capture and tame them in any biome

[fossil delta]

Their howling used to give me sanity issues. Fortunately they toned that way back.

[shy marlin]

if u don't need armor yea

[fossil delta]

Of course now you have the speed mead.

[shy marlin]

speed mead is crazy

[fossil delta]

Not that crazy. I think you still top out at 100 skill, not sure about the speed itself.

[shy marlin]

15% movement speed is crazy

[fossil delta]

Well, my run and jump are both above 70, so I feel its already pretty crazy even before a mead, or a suit.

Even in heavy armor.

[sacred bolt]

320 silver after 4 hours of mining

[open pecan]

You're an animal.

Did you get lucky with close nodes?

[sacred bolt]

fairly

I just had a good strat with the cart thing

[sacred bolt]

alr frostner at +4 now

spear at +3

[shy marlin]

Bro is on the grind

[sacred bolt]

Just missing the rest of the armor now

And I am free

[sacred bolt]

and a full fenris set

that was a good 5h sesh

[open pecan]

Great set.

[sacred bolt]

God I love this game

I thought nothing could compare to Elden Ring and Terraria but here we are

[fossil delta]

Yeah, there are a lot of other games I probably should like better, but I don't. My wife is even more hard core about it.

[tacit crystal]

Same, I've settled for many cool indie games, including Valheim.

[fossil delta]

Enshrouded is another one growing on me, but its game play is very familiar... to Valheim.

The world lore is very different and intriguing.

[sacred bolt]

It feels so rewarding to get new gear in Valheim

Cus you put in so much effort but the feel when you can go toe to toe with the enemies feels amazing

I cant wait for plains tbh cus there its just combat

[crisp tartan]

i beat fader, i should be free.... yet i still want to play valheim.......

[shy marlin]

Sounds like it's time for another playthrough

[quasi latch]

With different weapons!

[shy marlin]

i'm nervous about my no metal no armor perma run lol

i'm in the easy biomes rn so i'm cruisin but i feel like ashlands is gonna rock my world for a few runs

[quasi latch]

Wait, it's no armor now? I thought it was just no metal

[shy marlin]

yea I one shot no metal perma

[quasi latch]

Can't wait for the no inventory perma

[shy marlin]

💀 no way that's possible

[quasi latch]

You can't even summon bosses lol

[nocturne wolf]

Hotbar only might count but in many cases that would just be more slow than difficult.

[shy marlin]

if hotbar was allowed you'd have to add some other difficulty factors in yea

[quasi latch]

Low% would be an interesting category
Beat all the bosses with the fewest number of items entering your inventory and the fewest crafting stations possible

Whole lotta punching I'd imagine

[livid zenith]

I’d assume that with the later bosses punching doesn’t do enough damage to outpace the healing

[shy marlin]

ye

I used to have the numbers but I think yag is when you can't outpace passive hp regen

Fader is technically doable to fist down but that's whole other meme

[daring hatch]

release new update now

[shy marlin]

Alright Irongate time to release combat update this guy said so

[daring hatch]

thats right

[quasi latch]

How would the items be ranked for low%? Would 5 items commonly accessible in a lower biome be better or worse than 1 item in a later biome?

[shy marlin]

ooo that's interesting

[quasi latch]

Or would it be 1 item entering the inventory for the first time = 1 "point"

And could you reuse items, for example the classic recycling 20 stone and 5 cores for a smelter and a kiln

[obsidian raven]

I've never loved a single game so much that i had to artificially handicap it to play it instead of just playing a different game. I admire the dedication

[shy marlin]

The trick is to play multiple games while you do challenge runs in one game

Avoid burn out and keeps ya fresh

[quasi latch]

I'm doing Celeste goldens while playing other stuff, so I can relate to that

Same thing when I was grinding radiant absrad in hollow knight

[shy marlin]

I need to play hollow knight

[quasi latch]

Oh, you'd love that game I bet
The challenge runs you can do in that game are insane

[quasi latch]

I'm thinking each raw item that enters the inventory for the first time would be 1 point. Derivative products (deconstruction returns from a piece you made, smelting results, etc.) don't count towards the total. This would make it more fun to min-max crafting recipes and workstations imo

And you won't have to build one workstation and constantly run back to it to do stuff because of a 10 point deduction for deconstructing it and reclaiming the items

Maybe farming crops should be a deduction though

[dark coyote]

probably a boolean on the object itself

[quasi latch]

The thing is, if you put 2 coal and 1 ore into a smelter, that would be 4 items (2 coal, 1 ore, and 1 ingot) by this definition.

[bronze cairn]

hello :D

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe the reason we can’t tame necks is because they photosynthesise with their lily pads instead of eating food…

[bronze cairn]

what are necks? ;o

[nocturne wolf]

◀️ these creatures that spawn in meadows biomes

[bronze cairn]

cool :)

The boat will still be there when you come back unless someone else is on the server and moves it

[daring sinew]

so youll awake in a boat?

[shy marlin]

The tastiest creatures in all da lands of valheim

😏

[nocturne wolf]

We’re not doing this again

[vocal rivet]

If the boat hasn't moved.

[daring sinew]

k ty

[undone forum]

Are you crazy? Clearly the Dragur are the tastiest otherwise we wouldn’t be making sausage out of their innards

[lunar sapphire]

Would intestines be the tastiest if we need to fuse it with thistle and boar meat?

[quasi latch]

Nah, greydwarf shamans are the tastiest

[undone forum]

Have you tried the stuff that Morgen hoard?

[echo wind]

The puking confirms it

[merry pebble]

The proper channel would be #1024264966712340510 😄

Yes

[vocal rivet]

So not here.

[median ibex]

Someone in another server just called me a cheater for using 2x Resource Rate in a world where 5 people are playing :^)

[lunar sapphire]

Definitely cheating! Agreed!

Valheim is a sandbox game - play how you wish

[median ibex]

I agree, I am cheating.
God forbid I want more resources to build with :^)

[lunar sapphire]

Although if the others aren't using the extra resource setting I can see where their problems arise

[median ibex]

But yeah no, I don't understand their logic. Like... I tried explaining to them we use 2x to cut down on the grind that inevitably shows up when you need to kit out 5 whole players, but

they just weren't getting it.

[lunar sapphire]

One could argue that decreased grinding = less playtime on that world

you get through everything quicker and then what? new world again?

[median ibex]

There's definitely a sweet spot between grind and burn out though.

[lunar sapphire]

My fully afk greydwarf farm is allowing me to make my first castle-esque build 😛

[median ibex]

Plus, I use a lot of resources for decorating, so it's nice to have spare on hand, even with 4 other pairs of hands rumaging through our storage hall.

My function must also have form.

[quasi latch]

The game is balanced around 1 player, good luck getting enough iron for 5 people on 1x

[shy marlin]

Ashlands gems for 5 people 💀

[celest acorn]

Me whenever someone does something that mildly inconveniences me

[paper marsh]

Other than Ashlands I feel like there's enough resources for 5 players

But not any more than that, and you gotta explore like the whole map

going for 2x is totally reasonable

[fossil delta]

One good thing about my wife messing around in the Mistlands early, we have the Lightfoot mead. Helps with all the jumping you do.

MAge caps and Hare hide with a bunch of feathers.

[vagrant pasture]

I have to admit...Some times, I kinda miss the crazy Ashlands spawn ratio from the first beta test updates. Where was almost impossible to advance without cheezy methods

[shy marlin]

Was never impossible

Fun fact: When people are first diving into content everyone is bad at it

Takes time to master a biome and rather than sink some time and learn how to navigate the biome, lets just complain and have the biome get nerfed 🙃

Same thing happened with Mistlands, same thing will probably happen with Deep north

[light moat]

In a game with my friend, telling him about early build Ashlands is like telling him war stories 😂

[light snow]

Early mistlands even moreso. Theres more creatures roaming around in the meadows than the mistlands

[shy marlin]

ptb mist was peak gaming

Back when the queen ai was better too

[light snow]

Seeker AI too

When they didnt behave like fulings after 2 attacks

[shy marlin]

It kinda makes sense for fulings to circle as they resemble some intelligence but seekers seem pretty primal and wolf ai just makes more sense

[light snow]

Dont understand why 80% of the mobs in this game need to walk in circles after a few attacks

Golems, Lox, seekers, gjalls, asksvins, all do it

[paper marsh]

First cultist kill on this world. Got a trophy 😄

[paper marsh]

Because people complain when mobs get too aggressive and the game gets too hard

[dark coyote]

is there a good dark red light source?

[hazy seal]

NGL I'd love to see some big mods getting made, but I feel like everyone focuses on QoL stuff mainly because one single update and it fucks with all of the mods and QoL stuff is just easier and faster to fix

[light snow]

Probably get more modded takes after the game is finalized

[steel mica]

What were the nerfs for mistlands after lots of people complained?

[keen raptor]

In the 10th realm, mob kite you!

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Version_History#0.212.9 few of the nerfs are here

[light snow]

'they sought you out' nerfed to the ground 😭 its just a mistlands version of eikthyr rallies creatures of the forest now

[steel mica]

nerfed gjall and soldier spawn, soldier no longer in sought you out raid, and gjall fires one at a time instead of the same time

[tacit crystal]

Seeker AI change (they were more aggressive, now they circle after few attacks), Gjall shooting 1 projectile (thankfully it was reverted back to 2 and they're less messy), Seeker raid was nerfed by removing Soldier spawns and it cannot be triggered in meadows.

[steel mica]

Oh I thought gjall shoot two fireballs at the same time

[light snow]

also way less seekers too so its literally just 2 seekers and some babies wandering around

its way less dangerous than raids that occur earlier like the horde attacks and you are being hunted

[tacit crystal]

They do, it was nerfed at one point but reverted back to 2.

[steel mica]

I mean its the 2nd hardest biome as of rn so it should be hard

[tacit crystal]

#suggestions message Shamelessly sharing regarding to seeker raid.

[steel mica]

The "They were bros" raid is harder since they are starred

[steel mica]

a thumbsup fr

I didnt get to experience the full mistland raids since I mostly got previous raids

[tacit crystal]

Especially now since we have the option to set raids off it would be good to revert it back to its previous glory.

[light snow]

yeah, the mistlands ones both only trigger in mistlands which is quite lame

oh i think sought you out happens in plains? but not everyone builds big projects in the plains and you might just get skeletons or bats or other useless raids instead

[tacit crystal]

Seeker raid can trigger in others than meadows, swamp and mountain.

[steel mica]

I can kinda of understand the frustration for the mistlands so the nerfs were inevitable since the mistlands at that time were all new content to everyone after the release

The first time I got to the mistlands I had no trouble at all navigating the mistlands

[light snow]

Mistlands Seeker event tweaked (It will no longer trigger in Meadows, Swamps, Mountains or Ocean. It will no longer spawn Seeker Soldiers and the amount of Seekers & Broods has been rebalanced)
apparently it can happen in forest? haven't seen that yet.

anyway its such a harmless raid now i dont see why it can't just happen at any point

[steel mica]

reverted maybe deep north update

[light snow]

we can pray. its currently quieter than the meadows

[steel mica]

only positive really is free royal jelly delivery

has the ashland raids got any nerfs?

[light snow]

free carapace, free jelly, free seeker meat; offers more than bat raid or skeleton raid those ones i wish were just deleted

[steel mica]

For the skeleton I wouldnt want them gone

free blocking skill level up

[light snow]

goblin raid, first swamp raid, drake raid even are all cool

and the wolf one

[steel mica]

What even is the raid for swamp

[light snow]

draugrs and skeletons rushing you while you are in bronze gear a good challenge on high difficulties

ends at bonemass and turns into blob raid which is iron delivery so im ok with that one

[keen raptor]

The problem with raids is that enemy destructive capacity advances throughout the game but if a player wants to build several structures across the map they’re expected to upgrade all of them to their current best defensive material, even in the starter areas. Raids are bad enough in no map no portal, so I think having raid destructive capacity plateau in the latter half of the game compensates for the increasingly extraneous effort needed to invest into upgrading the existing infrastructure the player has already built.

[steel mica]

Ah I mistaken the blobs raid as the swamps main raid since well bonemass is literally just a giant blob

[light snow]

i disagree, log trolls are always going to be the most destructive

these cleave through your walls and devastate all your crops, bushes, trees and wooden structures in 1 sweep

nothing has been done to nerf them so i dont see why seeker soldier had to be removed

[steel mica]

270-300 dmg, yes I tested they can like 7 hit a stone wall

[light snow]

moreso anything not stone or near the stone just gets 1 tapped

anyways, builders have the option to completely disable raids. so why do we need to nerf them

[steel mica]

If im not mistaken summoned troll and normal troll is the same is just that they have different weakness and the other having more hp

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

[steel mica]

Monument of tourment

hm, could be use as a farm

[light snow]

its just skeleton garbage v1 and skeleton garbage v2, where's the asksvin or morgen raid :/

or vultures even lols

[tacit crystal]

Still, they can now be disabled. Most people don't usually play no map no portal.

[robust token]

Me watching the Morgen roll into my buildings happily

[steel mica]

Would a no nap make a difference if you still have portals

[light snow]

yah maybe not morgen raid he's a bit destructive
but voltures would be fine.
'they thirst for blood'
watches a flock of angry chickens come flying towards you
egg delivery!

[steel mica]

and volture meat delivery

mashed meat

[light snow]

don't ever use that tbh the pies are better if doing health food

[robust token]

People underestimate the destructive Morgen rolls eh?

[tacit crystal]

Free meat, eggs and feathers. 👌

[steel mica]

Oh they do, they are really destructive

[tacit crystal]

Not at all. Valkyries also are quite destructive.

[light snow]

he's just excited! stop hating on him. its not his fault he was born destructive!

[steel mica]

But the valkyrie is more f- destructive especially when shes on top of your base

[robust token]

I literally ask them to chop Ash trees and mine Grausten

[light snow]

gotta respect the energy of rolling side to side happily when you finally see a fight

[steel mica]

The asksvins tho...

[tacit crystal]

Sounds like "Aww he just wants to play!" about a pitbull.

[light snow]

yes!! i love morgens they're so kind. they kill everything else that's already trying to kill me 🤣

[steel mica]

Greg the pitbull asksvin vs that one neck that wondered into your base

[light snow]

by law asksvins should not attack necks 😠

they should pick them up on their back and take them away

[steel mica]

Asksvins are so destructive when you have an army 💀

[tacit crystal]

Which is why I keep them in pen they cannot escape. 😅

[steel mica]

I have not bred an asksvin army yet since my ashland base is on a fort with ballistas on all sides set to target all

so theyd die to the ballistas before they could do anything

[steel mica]

#screenshots message

Spot the og 2star

[tacit crystal]

Ashy?

[steel mica]

Yes

I cant normally get out of the pen so I have to break the laws of physics and phase through the asksvins just to get out

[keen raptor]

It's not really a comparison. Soldiers deal nearly double the damage of a log troll (their stomp hits twice so technically 4x the damage), and they have triple the HP.

[merry pebble]

But their attacks cover way less area than troll attacks 😉

[keen raptor]

no?

[light snow]

yes? and are also way slower

[keen raptor]

you have to realize at that point in the game a player can instantly kill a troll. The same can't be said about the soldier especially with seeker backup.

[nocturne wolf]

Enemies only destroy your base if you let them, just walk outside during a raid.

[snow flicker]

i doubt they were born destructive, everything in ashlands was once in a pretty chill kingdom driven mad, no?

havent played in awhile but thats what i remember lol

[merry pebble]

That is true for the charred at least, we dont have any lore info where the morgens came from i believe 🙂

[snow flicker]

ah okay! my apologies

[mossy lance]

yo guys. i have seen a couple of videos on youtube recently with titles such as end of Valheim and it's over and such, implying that after deep north there is not gonna be any updates anymore.

is it confirmed by the devs ?

like i know DN is gonna be the last biome, but no update to improve the game overall after that ?

[paper marsh]

Either along with or shortly after Deep North release the game will officially release. After that they said they're not adding any huge content updates (like more biomes and such)

They said they'd still do updates, but I don't think they've been 100% clear on what that meant. Likely just quality and life stuff and maybe a tiny bit of content here and there? Like bog witch size updates or something

[peak tinsel]

yo guys new here was thinking about getting valheim. never watched nor played it so wanted to know if its a good buy rn

[mossy lance]

ah ok cool !

was kinda getting sad about it xD

[mossy lance]

i love the game and recommend it

[open pecan]

It's a good buy. Enjoy.

[steel mica]

Worth every penny

If you like survival games you'll like valheim

[shy marlin]

Game isn’t designed with world modifiers on

[steel mica]

Designed to make you suffer

jk

Wait scales on your no food run was your raid modifier cranked up to thr max?

[shy marlin]

Just more

[steel mica]

m raids

[rocky wyvern]

helloo

[open pecan]

Hey there.

[paper marsh]

If anyone likes doing challenge runs, I just wanted to put out there that "no resistance meads" is a pretty fun challenge. Gotta make more important choices in what armor to use if you want to benefit from resistances, such as full fenris if you want fire resist for fighting yag, and you can't easily nullify weaknesses like root harnesk fire weakness. Also makes Yag power actually relevant

I personally use it along with other challenges

[broken kraken]

very good game to go into blindly

[tacit crystal]

Why not "no meads" at all?

[peak tinsel]

downloading rn wondering how its going to be

[paper marsh]

One could do that too if you want a harder time. I don’t find it fundamentally changes much in your choices though, just adds some difficulty

[tacit crystal]

That's my current challenge, accompanied with no powers, no Harnesk and no sleep.

[paper marsh]

Sounds like a fun time

[shy marlin]

No armor no metal 🤙

[paper marsh]

No wasd

[shy marlin]

No monitor

[paper marsh]

No electricity

[nocturne wolf]

use tower shields

[paper marsh]

Okay thats too far

“Challenge run”

Not “impossible run”

[nocturne wolf]

Shame pickaxes are two-handed so we can't run pickaxe + tower shield

[shy marlin]

Yup lost me

[paper marsh]

Start the game permanently harpooned to a 2 star Gjall

[shy marlin]

Serious suggestions only please @nocturne wolf

[rocky nebula]

Doable

[woven escarp]

haloooo

[paper marsh]

heyoooo

[light moat]

Wow, I actually really enjoy using the Trolstav, pretty neat!

The Dundr I’m struggling to get the hang of, but I still need to play around with it some more 🤔

[paper marsh]

Dundr is very fun. Not nearly as strong as trolstav but fun to play around with

[light moat]

I’m excited to use it- also have to make a staff of the wilds, guess I forgot about it lol

Still finding myself using the staff of embers and frost a lot, which is nice. Classic reliable weapons 🤌

[woven escarp]

when i started playing i remember summoning 2 trolls in my base saying "daaaaamn this staff is siiiiiiiiiickkk"

10 minutes later i was making other world

[tacit crystal]

2 shot for Morgen after parrying before the shots. ⛈️

[light moat]

Wow, 2 shot a morgen?? That’s pretty impressive! I’ll have to try it out now

Oh that’s right, they’re weak to lightning 💡

[paper marsh]

Yeah its the one enemy in Ashlands where it feels damn good to use a dundr

Still I think lightning axes might be faster, but definitely not as stylish

[tacit crystal]

#memes-and-clips message

[light moat]

Wow, pretty impressive 🤔
How does it do against a valk?

[paper marsh]

Been a while since I was in the Ashlands but its decent against valks. Basically anything that's a big target / very close is good, bc all the projectiles can hit. Trying to hit charred or something is rough because they're so small though

Still its definitely less damage on a valk compared to a morgen, as valk takes 1x and morg takes 1.5x

[tacit crystal]

It deals fine. 👍

[worn hearth]

when collecting sap do you need to stay around the tree or can you leave and come back

[foggy glacier]

you can leave.

[worn hearth]

sometimes when i leave it doesnt collect

are the extrators to clsoe

close

[rotund parrot]

The roots run out of sap, I like to switch the collectors to different roots initially

[worn hearth]

yeah i switch every time but if the root is still glowing

[foggy glacier]

how many collectors do you have on each root?

[fossil delta]

The roots recharge, so keep that in mind with your planning.

[worn hearth]

i put 5 in each root

[foggy glacier]

I usually stick with just one collector per root and make a portal ring.

[worn hearth]

okay

[foggy glacier]

your collectors are probably emptying the root too fast.

[rotund parrot]

IIRC roots give 40 sap before running dry so 4 collectors on each to dry it fully then switching to a different root seem like as good a strategy as any

but sap is mostly a thing you want to consistently get once a day in game and you will have more than enough

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I like to set up a "circuit" of 8 roots, to rotate between.

My last server game we built a massive "fort" with passages between 6 roots. We collected in total safety.

[rotund parrot]

I usually look for a spot with at least 4 roots in close proximity, put at least 1 collector on each and have my farm in the middle

[fossil delta]

Yeah, locations like that are about as ideal as you can get.

[foggy glacier]

especially if you're close to plains edge.

[worn hearth]

yeah 5 root spots is what i was told is more then a enough to just switch

maybe 5 extractors maybe to many ill just stay with 4

[fossil delta]

For single or two players, but when you have a full group of 10, more is better.

[rotund parrot]

depends if you play mage, they need much more eitr and a constant flow of sap for food and potions, melee really don't need to care that much except initially

[worn hearth]

I hung around the area and the root dryd up but i dont wanna stay and im only playing with 2 ppl

[median ibex]

Reckon I could run Lvl4 Silver Armour through the Plains and be fine? I love it aesthetically.

[nocturne wolf]

Plains is the next biome so that's the armor you're supposed to use there

[foggy glacier]

to get lvl 4 silver, you've already been in plains.

or at least one other higher biome.

[nocturne wolf]

Max level forge is from Swamps though

[median ibex]

I mean, yeah, but I always assumed the armour from the previous biome is supposed to be not quite good enough for the next biome, but enough to let you get the materials for the next set.

That's what it felt like going into the Swamp with Bronze.

[rotund parrot]

You should be more worried about keeping that armor for the start of the mistlands than for the plains

[fossil delta]

You don't need to hang around for it to work. I usually just put a mini stone fort around each extractor, to give me a relatively "safe" spot to extract from and use for defense when I get seekers or a soldier attacking me. Usually seekers.

[median ibex]

I mean, I've dipped my toes in, killed a few Deathsquitos, and emptied a Tar Pit, but I've gone no further than that.

I'm a bit spooked by Fulings.

[nocturne wolf]

All fuling attacks except for the spear can very easily be jumped over

[tacit crystal]

Take your with you.

[foggy glacier]

keep a stack of stone handy and your hoe set on raise ground. If you get swarmed, just raise 4x4x4 and you should be pretty safe.

[fossil delta]

Fulings are relatively easy. With level 4 gear, including weapons like Porcupine, you can handle 5 or 6, even with a 1 star.

[rotund parrot]

fulings attack are some of the easier to dodge in this game

[median ibex]

I take it my Crystal Battleaxe will be quite good into Fuling Camps then?

[tacit crystal]

It is a good option. 👍

[nocturne wolf]

Use a bow to draw out small groups from the camp, then use the axe for those groups

[rotund parrot]

I often dissrespected full camps in troll armor with an abyssal razor

[nocturne wolf]

Running straight into these camps is a great way to kill yourself

[fossil delta]

Especially if that group includes beserkers.

[shy marlin]

Leeroy jenkins

[nocturne wolf]

In our first playthrough one of my friends cleared a plains biome and tamed a few lox before we killed the elder, but he died many times doing all that

[fossil delta]

Like I said, I like to keep it to 5 or 6 fulings.

[worn hearth]

So i think the problem is

If I leave before they started doing the sapping it doesnt workj

so just wait 60 seconds then take off

[rotund parrot]

I like his style

[fossil delta]

It won't extract? Thats wierd. Maybe the position is bad, but it should work with you being gone.

[rotund parrot]

Going back to my 4th very hard deathless try, been in the swamp for a while, time to go for the elder, I delay it as much as I can because of the relentless raids

[fossil delta]

Trying to never die is always very hard. Especially if you do things like no rolling or parrying.

[rotund parrot]

I wouldn't avoid using the best tools I have, on very hard I need to roll more than i'd like but it's fine, just take longer to kill the stronger enemies

[fossil delta]

Tower shields are very good, so its not like you don't have a good alternative to rolling and parrying.

[shy marlin]

uh lol

[fossil delta]

I've made it to the Queen without dying. I just have not pulled off killing her without dying, and not dying before getting to her.

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping and walking/sprinting out of attacks are significantly better alternatives than using a tower shield

Jumping is better than rolling is most situations

[bronze cairn]

interesting to note... 🗒️🖊️

[fossil delta]

Well, Tower Shields work for me, and I have gone without dying, until the Queen. So it works.

No doubt it would be far easier on me if I did parry, and dodge roll, but thats too easy.

[shy marlin]

It works, but that doesn't mean they're very good

[fossil delta]

I don't die, so good enough for me.

There are other things you have to pay attention to to not die, such as cooking. I have had zero death runs ruined due to that **** smoke.

Falling trees, early on, have killed me. Things like that.

[bronze cairn]

you can die from falling trees? .-.

[nocturne wolf]

I died to the first tree I chopped, I needed to see what would happen

[bronze cairn]

interesting to note... 🗒️🖊️

[fossil delta]

I don't know if I will ever try another Zero death run, there is a lot I have to figure out with the Ashlands, and then who knows what the North is going to be like. So I may never try for the entire game.

Still, it takes a lot just to get to the Queen, so I am happy with just getting that far.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, until you get a heavier armor. Like bronze.

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor is only 6 points behind bronze so it will also help out without being heavy

[fossil delta]

It helps, but if you get caught in a tree avalanch, it may not keep you alive. Its definitely good for one tree, maybe two, hitting you.

[nocturne wolf]

Getting out of the way faster is very helpful in keeping you alive

[shy marlin]

Tree dodging = hardest part of valheim

[bronze cairn]

tree dodging making my lodging in valheim :P

[median ibex]

Would Wolf Skewer, Eyescream, and Onion Soup be a good idea for going into Plains? I like Stamina :)))

[nocturne wolf]

You might want to swap the onion soup for turnip stew, which has slightly lower max stamina but more health regeneration. Both are good options though

[shy marlin]

Yes

[quasi latch]

Nah, that's remembering to equip feather cape before jumping off a cliff like fuckin Superman

[nocturne wolf]

Why would you ever not have it equipped

[bronze cairn]

;o

what is the feather cape? :D

[tacit crystal]

Because you get cool capes in Ashlands. 👌

[fossil delta]

Yeah, obviously.

[tacit crystal]

It is a cape. Made of feathers.

[bronze cairn]

sweet 😎

[nocturne wolf]

An item obtained late in the game that limits fall speed and disables fall damage

[tacit crystal]

I'd keep playing and not get spoiled too much if I were you.

[bronze cairn]

ok :V

[tacit crystal]

First time is always one time only, it's best experience more blindly IMO.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, first time playing, my advice is to go slow, and just enjoy the experiences. Do not rush. Your only a first timer the first time.

[maiden granite]

@nocturne wolf Nice broom 🙂 I thought I missed a cool tag

or did i actually? when did they gave out those brooms?

[fossil delta]

Probably a nitro thing.

[maiden granite]

nyah, I got those fire tag during ashlands release, no nitro required

prolly missed out during bog witch 🥲

[fossil delta]

No idea, I've been around for most everything. Heck, I have far fewer tags now than I did a year ago. I guess constant activity is a requirement.

[nocturne wolf]

It's just an emoji in my name. Many people have flames because they asked for flames during ashlands public testing, and I asked for a broom in bog witch public testing.

[fossil delta]

So thats my problem, I never ask.

[paper marsh]

I believe the emojies are generally given in public test chat yea

I believe for flames Smiffe did like a post or survey thing of "do you want flames added to your name?" during ashlands playtest

[maiden granite]

lookout for DN and Combat update, might get 1 or 2

[fossil delta]

I haven't done play testing since the Mistlands.

[maiden granite]

I didn't test Ashlands either xD
My PC's Intel UHD 630 can't handle Ashland, I only play till Mistland 🥲

[fossil delta]

I just didn't want to put in the extra time anymore. My system handles the game just fine. I just want to play for the sake of playing now a days.

[light moat]

Some users who are especially cool are given suns by their name

[paper marsh]

[foggy lodge]

hi, is there a farming mod that does everything so i dont have to use more mods? like replanting on harvest, farm grid, shows progression etc.

[tacit crystal]

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

[foggy lodge]

ah, thanks

[frank peak]

anyone need an extra body? had the game for a while now and none of my friends will play it with me, not even the ones i bought it for so ive got a village i built just kinda empty. but yeah if anyone wants someone to drag along im down

just send me a dm and lmk when wanna play if any

[worn hearth]

heading to the ashlands for the 1st time wish me luck

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

Honestly, that has been the best way to find groups, and create groups, ever since my friends had to go back to work after the pandemic. Aside from just playing with my wife, and occasionally, my kids.

[paper marsh]

Good luck! Don't let the creatures bite

[analog pine]

Take my advice, build campfires whenever you can. Everywhere. They'll burn out quickly, but the main reason is spawn suppression. You'll thank me later.

[bronze cairn]

interesting to note... 🗒️🖊️

[paper marsh]

I do kinda miss playtest Ashlands

It was very intense

[worn hearth]

1st 2seconds in ashlands

100s of monsters

[rotund parrot]

yeah ashlands in the public test was fun, it took me a couple days to start making progress instead of just fighting whatever was coming until my inventory was full but then I learned I could just run make a new portal somewhere else and then fight there so I could progress

[rocky nebula]

Early ashlands was fun in a team because it actually felt like something that necessitated teamwork, like one person kiting a Morgen away while the other two fought the other morgen or one person swimming to shore to build a workbench to repair the ship the bonemaw was breaking

[paper marsh]

I just like having to fight against overwhelming forces and beating the odds

Ashlands is still a lot of fun. But it was definitely toned down

Which is understandable. A lot of people couldn’t handle being overrun

[worn hearth]

bonemaw isnt rare is it lol

[undone forum]

No, it never was

Probably never will be

Its honestly annoying, although the trophy is probably one of my favorites

[worn hearth]

arbalest rocks them but damn i dont wanna fight like 5

got trophy 1st one i killed

is there any safe spots out here where monsters arent going crazy 100% of the time

[undone forum]

No, ashlands is pretty much combat all day long. At some point i'm going to do the crazy and make my main base there

Only the spots you make. Slap up some walls and some spawn protection and you'll have yourself a safe space

Hello guys, what is my next step, if i have full bronze armor

Find the swamps.

Then mountains, then plains, then the mists, then the fire, then the ice.

That is the intended sequence.

Which also means beating the boss of each "biome" before going to the next.

Kill the Elder first, surely.

Yeah, as you see, I added the boss clarification. 😄

Hard to think like a newbie after 4500 hours.
