Tames won't go through portals.

[mossy river]

Pretty much, unless you can run really really fast and far, following might break. But when I want to revert wolves to neither, I always use a portal.

[crystal fjord]

Thanks

If I have a wolf set to “stay” and go through a portal, will it switch to “neither”?

[mossy river]

I don't think anything will stop a wolf from staying, unless it somehow got pushed really far from its position? Not sure.

[crystal fjord]

Ok thanks

[mossy river]

About to pass 3000 hours and I make extensive use of wolves for base defense, lag bedamned. Stay is very reliable and if it ever does break, it does rarely enough that I've never noticed.

[mossy river]

How do overlapping silver nodes work? If I disconnect both from the ground will they collapse, or will they support one another?

[wild zephyr]

Hi, im looking someone to make a new world in valheim

[frigid mango]

check #1024264966712340510, there's tonnes of people there

[pastel trout]

Anybody know a good site for renting a valheim server?

[fossil delta]

Ive had good experiences with GPortal, back when I ran servers, well over a year ago.

[compact basin]

wheres the dev blog at??

[fossil delta]

Check out #news and #valheim-patchnotes , plus the full website those are at.

[tacit crystal]

No dev blog this month.

[near furnace]

on hold while we are on vacation 🫡

[worn lynx]

Do we all have to pay again when Valheim comes outa early access?

[near furnace]

lol no 😄

pay once, keep forever

[worn lynx]

Thank Iron gate

[pliant hatch]

First time I hear from a "neither" option. Probably because there isn't one.

There's "follow" and "stay".

Follow follows the player, stay means it remains in the area it's in. And it will roam in that area, attack hostiles of these get too close and eat / breed if that hostile has edible meat.

If a player is going through a portal and has a wolf set to follow, the wolf will return to the "stay" status; not to "neither" as there isn't a neither status.

[arctic badge]

Its best to buy it now while the game is in early access mainly because decent amount of studios jack up the price by a lil upon official launch. So you might save a few bucks

[mossy river]

Is this something that has changed? This is definitely how it's worked on all my previous playthroughs.

Easy enough for anyone who's curious to test. Have some wolves follow you, then go through a portal to revert them to "neither." Spawn a bunch of deer, if they go all over the place and don't return to their spot or follow you, then the neither condition still exists. Which is not an official name, it's something I'm making up in the absence of an official name.

[pliant hatch]

| then the neither condition still exists. Which is not an official name, it's something I'm making up in the absence of an official name. |

Please don't post things you make up at the official* Valheim Discord as people may think it's an official stance.

There are only two stances for wolves. It's either follow or stay.

Stay doesn't mean "remain at this exact spot and don't move" as it does for real life dogs.
In this game, stay means: "don't follow me, but remain in this area

Which means the moment you go through a portal while a wolf is ordered to follow you, it will move into its stay stance.
The only reason we don't see the "wolf now stays" message is because we're going through the portal; which technically means we're not in that area anymore; while the new area is currently being loaded.

[merry pebble]

That happens when they are in "stay" mode, they will alert to anything that comes close and go after it. And iirc, when they kill the thing they have gone to kill then the position they de-agrroed becomes the new default "stay" area.

[mossy river]

Let's give it a test then. My recollection is that in stay mode wolves will not chase very far at all. Let alone change their stay area.

For instance, if the "neither" state doesn't exist, if I tell a wolf to follow, then break the follow by portal hopping, the distinction with stay should be easy to observe by just sprinting at it and moving its model. A wolf in neither will not attempt to move back to where it was, a wolf in stay will.

Yep. Everything works exactly as I described it.

[keen raptor]

I’ve definitely had wolves chase some deer far away and never return

[mossy river]

Probably because they entered a new zone and haven't been loaded again, or one way or another, they stopped being in the follow or stay state.

Wolves definitely seem to return to their stay area if set to stay. I've tried pushing them, getting them to chase, and combinations of the two to get them to move their stay position to no effect.

That short pursuit distance is particularly killer because wolves have always been very vulnerable to archers in stay mode.

[keen raptor]

Does leaving the game or unloading the wolves reset them to ‘neither’

[mossy river]

My main source of neither wolves is newly bred ones that have never been told to stay or follow

[pliant hatch]

There is NO neither stance.

It's either follow or stay. Nothing else.

The neither stance is made up by a member here who's actually doing the thing I asked not to do: "causing confusion by making up things at the official game's discord."

[mossy river]

If you spent as much time doing actual testing as you did carefully manicuring replies we might be learning more.

Wolves neither staying nor following is the plainly observed behavior of any freshly tamed wolf that has never been interacted with. The only remaining uncertainty is the conditions by which you can revert wolves to this behavior.

[pliant hatch]

Well, show me the code and I will remove my comments.

Until then I remain by what I said; there is no "neither" stance.

Besides, you admitted it yourself earlier; you made that up.

[mossy river]

Anyone who wants to see who's right can go test themselves. Go spawn a wolf and use the tame command. It will behave as described. I made up the term, not the behavior.

[lusty dirge]

And the stay stance is the same as the default one, be it tamed or untamed

[mossy river]

I just spawned and tamed (via console command) another wolf. It's already wandered further than a wolf under the stay command ever would, without ever even getting aggro.

[keen raptor]

I’ll check the code when I get home. Setting the ‘stay’ state may create an anchor but I could see it possible for that anchor to be lost or removed.

[lusty dirge]

Yeah, I think tamed creatures don't try to return to their spawn point

[mossy river]

Here's the aforementioned newly spawned wolf in #screenshots

It was spawned and tamed in the middle of the rocks. A wolf in stay would never be that far off, and if it were it'd be sprinting back.

And it's definnitely not following me either.

[pliant hatch]

Actually, tames wild boars do. But you can't order them to follow or stay.

All boars born in captivity won't return to the spawn point of their (former wild) parents.

[keen raptor]

This is a dumb question but I can’t test it myself rn? If you set a wolf to ‘stay’ and then drag it like 100m away, it actually runs back to where you set it to stay?

[mossy river]

I don't know if there's a limit, but yes.

[keen raptor]

Only the boars that spawn from runestones run back to their spawn point even after being tamed.

[mossy river]

I tried pushing 30-40m away before the wolf 'broke my grapple' so to speak.

[keen raptor]

That’s not a great test ngl

[mossy river]

Well, I've now pushed the same wolf that's never been interacted with the same distance. It's not sprinting back to where it was tamed. Still wandering around aimlessly, and definitely not following me.

And it's still never even been aggro, so that couldn't have changed anything

[lusty dirge]

And have your tested the same thing with one that you set to stay?

[mossy river]

Yes

[lusty dirge]

With a different outcome?

Sorry, missed the above post

[mossy river]

Wolves that have been set to stay die to skeleton archers without pathing to them. If you shove them 30-40m away and spawn deer next to them, you might get them to do a little chase, but they'll still return to their stay position.

Wolves set to follow are similar, but their anchor position is the player

Wolves doing neither will go right after those skelly archers.

[pliant hatch]

I said it before and I will say it again:

"Stay" in this game doesn't mean the same thing as "stay" in real life.

If people tell a dog to "stay", they want it to sit / stand at the spot where they were when the command was given to them. Which basically means: "Remain at this particular spot and don't move a millimeter / fraction of an inch away from it.

In the game, "stay" means; remain in this area.
Which might as well mean the specific map grid; which is - iirc - a 64 x 64 meter area.
Which also means that the wolves wander in that area, while still "staying" where they are.

[lusty dirge]

Do you have any mods? Because that's definitely not the (vanilla) experience I remember

[mossy river]

Zero mods on this install of Valheim. On this install of Windows, in fact.

[plain ore]

Are there like any plans of making copper easier to get? 30% of valheim gameplay is getting and refining copper.
Takes forever to mine, you don't get much, antler pickaxe gets ruined quite fast, and its really heavy, while in normal valheim you cant even carry the ore through portals

Rough to get any new playthroughs going because of the perpetual copper grind

[merry pebble]

Pickaxe can be easily repaired if you make a tiny shack with just workbench next to the deposit 🙂
And world modifiers can cut down on the grind in very significant way.

[pliant hatch]

Set resource modifiers to maximum in the world modifiers, go to a copper node, mine one node and you got enough copper to last an entire game.
After that, set the resource modifier back to what it was at and you can continue playing without any problem.

[mossy river]

So I guess I'm done. This behavior that's not stay or follow plainly exists. Give it a different name if you want, the game doesn't provide one. Those of you inclined to analyze game code, I hope it informs your search.

[plain ore]

Cheating

[pliant hatch]

Nope, it's an official part of the game, so you can't consider it cheating.

[plain ore]

May thor strike me down if yall ever catch me cheating måtte gud være med deg

[keen raptor]

alright then get to mining that copper I guess

[vocal rivet]

World modifiers are not cheating.

[lusty dirge]

It's possible, that setting them to stay changes something in their data that influences their idle movement behavior. However even if that was the case, it's probably not intended and not something that can reverted.

[mossy river]

I'm out of time to test. But in terms of how I use this for base defense, I actually rely on a combination of staying and defaulted (maybe that's a better word?) wolves. The staying wolves make sure a good array of points are covered, and the defaulted wolves not bound to a spot aren't vulnerable to archers, and can rush mobs right when they spawn.

The downside of this is you need to constantly breed wolves, because it's way too much of a pain to reposition defaulted wolves. In meadows this takes care of itself.

But you end up with absolutely gigantic performance crushing packs of wolves in the zones surrounding your base that you occasionally need to kill.

[lusty dirge]

That's something a have never experienced. "staying" wolves run off after prey aöl the time for me

[mossy river]

I could not get that to happen in my testing just now. Wolves in stay would not advance to skelly archers, and abandoned pursuit of deer even when I tried to keep sprintpushing them to continue pursuit.

[neat oasis]

Can any1 give me eityr🥺

[kindred orchid]

4 of us full iron with swords and mace
anti poison
sausage muckshake jerky
are we ready for bonemass

[fossil delta]

I like my food being better on HP, but yeah, you guys can do it fine.

[merry pebble]

Turnip stew or minced meat sauce instead of jerky would be better i would say, but otherwise, yep, you are ready 🙂

[kindred orchid]

oh actually yeah

i don’t do food lol we have turnip stew sausages or whatever’s best

[merry pebble]

Switch jerky for either of those, one is adding more stamina and other more hp 🙂

[fossil delta]

My fav combo is Deer Stew, Sausages, and Turnip Stew. I prefer HP heavy.

[merry pebble]

I like HSS diet myself 😄

[kindred orchid]

i try to have stamina to help getting out of bad spots

[fossil delta]

OF course, you can have Serpent Stew by now as well. That 80 HP is really nice.

[kindred orchid]

we just got torn apart by a serpent cause we weren’t paying attention but got some chittin so i’m guessing harpoons would do the job

[fossil delta]

Yeah, again, depends on how you play, as to what works best for you. I always use a Tower Shield, so I don't rely on Stamina as much as you do if you parry and dodge roll.

[kindred orchid]

would you think tower shields are better for this boss

[shy marlin]

dodge or s key

Blocking against bosses is just bad

[weak cosmos]

Finally picked up Valheim again after a couple years and the crafting, farming, and building levels are perfection

[fossil delta]

I use Tower Shields for everything.All bosses, all monsters. So a lvl 3 Iron Shield against Bonemass works great. As long as your HP is high with your foods.

[plain ore]

do yall not agree that it takes way too long?

[kindred orchid]

level 3 we are not that rich 💔

our swamp base was just completely destroyed by a lux

[merry pebble]

Not really, especially since you can use the world modifiers.

[plain ore]

without cheating with that

[shy marlin]

How are world modifiers cheating

[kindred orchid]

it’s not really cheating it’s a difficulty option

[plain ore]

its like playing in creative mode

[light moat]

Welcome back 😎

[fossil delta]

😄 Well, how much effort you put into levelling your gear does change things a bit. The higher your gear level, the easier fights get.

[plain ore]

ok its not like being on PED's in the olpympics, but you're still ruining the competitive spirit

[merry pebble]

Again, it Is not cheating, if you don't want to use them then just accept it will take you longer than if you would use them. I never used them before my current playthrough and it was totally fine.

[kindred orchid]

we did the elder fairly easily so i think we’ve got this with our gear

[vocal rivet]

Creative mode is playing in creative mode.

[shy marlin]

If you are playing on anything but 0.25x modifier you are CHEATING

1x mode is CHEATING

[plain ore]

idk if you dont kill yourself irl after dying in valheim what are you even doing, hyll Odin

[weak cosmos]

Thanksyas lol, been a hot minute since I've seen yall.

Also did they do something to prevent copper deposits from shattering if they're floating? I don't remember them acting so stubborn

[light moat]

I don’t believe so 🤔
Same ole’ stubborn copper lol

[fossil delta]

There are 4 of you, so yeah, it should be a relatively easy fight. I've fought Bonemass mostly solo or with my wife, but with larger groups is does at least seem like it was easier.

[wispy plinth]

What armor do I want to use during mountains? Does the wolf hide chest piece stop frostbite?

[weak cosmos]

I probably just got unlucky, it did have a boulder clipping into it so I figure that might've done something goofy even after seperating it

[fossil delta]

IT really depends on the shape of the land around it. It plays off of the shape of the node itself. So some do not pop as nearly as easy as others.

[kindred orchid]

hopefully goes fine then worry is how stupid one of my mates is but if all goes well we will be fine 🙏

[wispy plinth]

Mainly for the boss I guess i have heard fenris good overall due to speed

[shy marlin]

Both fenris chest and wolf chest give frost res

[fossil delta]

Silver is usually the easiest to get to "shatter".

[weak cosmos]

Yeah, I hope they didn't change that one lol

[plain ore]

did you not think it took way too long? shouldnt the standard be more gentle 😩

[wispy plinth]

So no more frostbite?

[merry pebble]

No

[plain ore]

why did you start cheating then

oh wait ur an official news and patcher, sorry didnt check roles my b

[fossil delta]

The cloak also gives you resistance. So you have 3 options once you get into the mountains. The chest pieces for both armors, plus the cloak. I go for the cloak, because I tend to get it the fastest.

Only hard part about the cloak is getting the wolf trophy drop.

[vocal rivet]

What on Earth does that mean?

[fossil delta]

😄 They might know what they are talking about? 😄

[plain ore]

ur basically employes for valheim

[merry pebble]

Well i started using devcommands because i wanted to test stuff 😄
But how does that relate to world modifiers?

[vocal rivet]

Because they read the patch notes?

[plain ore]

bro "public tester" cmon man thats too easy

[merry pebble]

You didnt look into id:customize did you? 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, being things like a play tester does not make you an employee, etc... we do that stuff for free. I was a play tester for a while, never got paid.

Even the official "Helper" roles does not get you paid.

[nocturne wolf]

Only people with purple names are part of Iron Gate

[fossil delta]

Yep, and only Smiffe posts with any regularity.

But he is the public relations guy, so he kind of has to. 😄 Poor Smiffe.

[plain ore]

what do people think about the fact that the team is working on a board game at the same time

[merry pebble]

No they dont...

[vocal rivet]

They're not.

A completely different company have bought the license to do so.

[fossil delta]

Not the same people. That is under license.

Yeah, a completely different company handled the board game. Which I will be getting soon.

Its kind of funny I paid so much more for the board game than the PC game. I doubt we will play the board game any where even close to how much we have played the PC version.

[dark flare]

We cleared up to and including Yag with only troll armor. I am finding the minimalist approach is providing much more enjoyment.

[fossil delta]

One thing I have learned over the years of playing this game, everyone enjoys playing their own particular ways. Very few use Wall Shields like I do, for one example. Many more rely on dodge rolling and parrying. I don't do either, at all. Again, I use Wall Shields. So the bottom line is, we all get to play this game however we like playing it best.

[light moat]

Even if Irongate were working on the board game, wouldn’t really bother me considering they’ve been updating the game and giving us dev blogs 🤔

[dark flare]

Learning how to effectively roll negates almost every mechanic/ mob in the game.

Once we mastered the roll. Upping the difficulty to max still provides less of a challange than one may expect.

Just dont get hit. Lol.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats why I do not use dodge roll. I consider it to be a game breaking ability. So I chose Wall Shields instead. Thats just how I feel about things, so that is how I play. Everyone else can play in other ways.

[shy marlin]

omg

Food is game breaking armor is game breaking 2x modifier is cheating

[wispy plinth]

Fair we have decent silver hoard and will prob use wolf for boss so are all getting chest piece

[fossil delta]

Here I specified how I feel about things, and how its great that everyone can play however they like.

I do not care how anyone else plays this game. It only matters to me, how I play it. I don't even tell my wife how to play Valheim. She does her own crazy way. We all have fun.

[shy marlin]

Don’t think anyone said otherwise?

[fossil delta]

Sure, we can go with that.

[shy marlin]

I’m gonna ban wasd in my play throughs just seems too powerful.

[kindred orchid]

naked with fists or you cheated and lowk fists is kinda cheating you gotta hope a tree hits the boss

[shy marlin]

Yup 100% on board

[kindred orchid]

the long ship is so much better than the krave

this is life changing stuff

[rotund parrot]

Well RIP this run, a deathsquito sneaked up on me as I was kiting a berserker, hitted me for 78, staggered me and the berserker finished the job as I was helpless. Worst thing is I was just waiting for the fire resist that were brewing until I put the harnesk back on which would have saved me. I just had to be more patient! I may be done with very hard, just glad I made it that far

[light gyro]

Does thor gift anything other than coal

[merry pebble]

Nope

[light gyro]

Sad

[merry pebble]

Its basically just a trashcan 😄

[light gyro]

And he frowns when I give him flametal

[merry pebble]

Wait what?

[proper kindle]

My kingdom for a turnip!

[merry pebble]

He normally destroys it for me 🤔

[light moat]

“According to legend, this metal was used by the gods themselves…”
Interesting idea to offer it to Thor!

[merry pebble]

You must have pulled on the empty obliterator, just tried to obliterate flametal and it works normally

[light gyro]

Was a good idea tho but he frawned cuz it's 9 not 10

[merry pebble]

But then he doesent frown on you, that message is only shown when you pull the lever of empty obliterator

[open tusk]

Do people usually use portals with metal accessibility or without

[plain ore]

when will they add a normal or medium difficulty

[near furnace]

when you look at the world modifiers

[pastel trout]

Anybody know a good site to rent valheim servers from?

[plain ore]

?
there was easy and then hardcore

[near furnace]

and the lever between those 2 would be?

[plain ore]

there was no lever

can i change it after the world is made?

[proper kindle]

Maybe complaining in chat is the key. Weeks in the swamp with no sign of a turnip, then I complained, then I found three of them.

[gray cairn]

Didn't work when I was searching for rocky sadly. I'll try again on my next playthrough, though!

[proper kindle]

Also kind of a cool swamp. One of those long skinny ones that never has any crypts, but instead of being on the shore it was a valley right through the middle of a black forest. There were swamp trees way up the slope on either side, fallen trees sticking out overhead, etc. It would be cool to see more like that.

[shy marlin]

🤙 yoooooo one shot no armor no metal perma

[quasi latch]

What's next for you?

[shy marlin]

idk I wanna add something to it it's a fun challenge

[quasi latch]

No stone?

Maybe try limiting your inventory to 3 hotbar slots

[shy marlin]

idk i'll think about something

Can't do no food no metal bcuz that just means u have 25 hp until you reach infested mines and pray for a hp mead

[quasi latch]

No food tin only?

[shy marlin]

Maybe it's time to return to no hit progression

[quasi latch]

Wait no, you need copper for a forge

[shy marlin]

Well you'd need to limit metal to just the copper + tin req for the potion making things

idk is it weird i'm bummed i one shot it?

[quasi latch]

You're weird for attempting it in the first place.

(in a good way)

[shy marlin]

Like the rush I got after finally finishing no food was insane and felt like a true victory but with this it's just like meh

[quasi latch]

Reverse biome order.

[shy marlin]

oooo

Like start in ash --> meadows ?

[quasi latch]

Yeah

[shy marlin]

Would have to figure how to get outta ash (water sailing)

[quasi latch]

Fader → queen → yag → moder → Bonemass → oldass → deer bitch

Although the run should start in Meadows and force you to beat Ashlands first, but gathering equipment in other biomes is allowed

[azure yacht]

does it matter what others do?

[open tusk]

Well just asking because idk if it seems scummy or not I just been getting tired having to boat it everywhere its more of a chore these days than anything else

[nocturne wolf]

If it’s scummy why would it be an option?

[wispy plinth]

Is black metal axe a viable weapon?

[merry pebble]

All axes are 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

1h axes aren't great weapons because of their weak secondary attack

[wispy plinth]

Would i be better using crystal battle axe in plains or the 2 handed knife of plains?

[nocturne wolf]

Plains only has a 1h knife

[wispy plinth]

The wiki says plains is unfinished how come?

[wispy plinth]

I mean skoll and hati

[nocturne wolf]

That's a mistlands weapon, but does well in plains

[wispy plinth]

How so?

[nocturne wolf]

Where does it say that? Plains has been finished since early access release.

[nocturne wolf]

It's made at a black forge which is obtained in mistlands progression

[merry pebble]

Hmm? Where if i might ask?

[wispy plinth]

I misunderstood

It doesn't say that

[wispy plinth]

That's annoying which is better in plains black metal axe or crystal battle axe?

[azure yacht]

it's your game. Doesn't matter what anyone else does

do whatever you want

if it starts feeling scummy, stop doing it, if not, continue

[dark flare]

They are looking for opinions.
It apparently does matter to them.

[dark flare]

I have been a fan of the black metal axe.

[steel mica]

I actually ran out tar

[shy marlin]

bro is gonna be building the same base in 2030

[steel mica]

lmao

The 3 main parts of the base is almost done, the rest will be decorations and aesthetics

Damn fallen valkyrie decided to invite herself to my ashland base unannocuned

😭

[limpid smelt]

how do you bring up the command bar again? when i last played it was F5 but now that is not working..

[tacit crystal]

Huh, no mead no power run starting to get intensive, almost ended after getting ganged by Fulings from village and few surprise Squitos. 7 hp was the lowest, survived tho.

[keen raptor]

add -console to launch parameters

[tacit crystal]

Go to Steam properties and add -console on the small text box.

[steel mica]

how to get a heartattack speedrun:

[tacit crystal]

Also no Harnesk, so starred spear fulings are real threat.

[steel mica]

the fulings in general in great number is still a real threat

[tacit crystal]

No mead part is hurting me since I cannot constantly rely on Ratatosk and Tasty meads...

And no HP mead.

[steel mica]

is it just this or no food aswell?

[tacit crystal]

I'm not Scales.

[steel mica]

seriously mans a masochist

[shy marlin]

[steel mica]

in a good way

[tacit crystal]

Just no mead, no power, no Harnesk and no sleep.

[shy marlin]

No harnesk is a good limitation

[steel mica]

OUCH lava hurts

literally

[shy marlin]

Hot things are hot 😏

[steel mica]

I confidently walk across a pool of lava only to be reality checked by it

[tacit crystal]

Well, my last run had "no armor with MS penalty" rule, which also meant no Harnesk.

[tacit crystal]

At least you're (supposedly) one experience wiser.

[steel mica]

its really hard to tell but the 1star asksvin is like 5% bigger than the no-starred asksvin

a pair spawned close by to me

[steel mica]

[tacit crystal]

It's also bit lighter colored.

[steel mica]

yeah

[steel mica]

I think it should be the other way around

the darker colour of the non-starred asksvin makes it look like it should be stronger

[tacit crystal]

Dunno, 1 star troll is lighter skinned blue compared to non star.

[steel mica]

i mean lets be honest we go from dark green to dark pink

best colour

actually dark purple

[shy marlin]

The brown/green forest troll should've been the 1 star version

[tacit crystal]

Would be cool if some armor sets had different color styles, like Ask set having lighter green and dark purple versions.

Same for troll armor set: blue, light blue and red.

[steel mica]

whats the color for 2starred troll, havent encountered one those bois before

Ive encountered a 1starred troll

[shy marlin]

It's like a red/orange

with some like brown infused with red/orange color if that makes sense

[steel mica]

huh, human-ish coloured troll

A yes I remember my first encounter with a morgen and absolutely fearing for my life on top of a stone structure

now im over saying "bro I just killed one of you, another one"

[chrome badge]

Morgen are pretty easy when you learn their parry timing

[shy marlin]

x is easy when you learn their y mhm

[steel mica]

one miss timed parry you either get slapped once or twice

[chrome badge]

Just another slap towards wanting to perfect the timing 😅

[steel mica]

troll vs summoned troll just looks like a slapping competition

[steel mica]

FINALLY

A VALKYRIE TROPHY

Holy crap ive been farming for so long 😭

[open pecan]

Congrats.

[light moat]

Super cool trophy, nicely done!

[steel mica]

Ive been wanting the valk trophy so that I can set my asksvin free without them getting killed by the ballistas

and just defending the ashland base in general

[green hearth]

Anybody know any relatively frequent Valheim streamers?

[merry pebble]

You could look through #self-promotion, tho i cant guarantee if any of the potential streamers there frequently stream

[shy marlin]

Threadmenace streams every weekend, Snazzygames streams on weds and Sundays, Zhaekus does some crazy valheim challenges, JaqkEquips does some permadeath challenges, Johnathan Raymaker does some semi casual runs, just to name a few, there's probably some other great streamers out there too, just the ones I watch

[green hearth]

BRB, gonna go follow all of those people

[light moat]

Scales; the Valheim streaming community marketing guy

[steel mica]

another valk trophy

its my lucky day

[shy marlin]

I think my luckiest trophy run was getting 3 consecutive stone golem trophies

[steel mica]

I neglected the tasty mead until I started mining flametal leviathans

its very good

[shy marlin]

have you tried lingering stam mead + tasty? it's insane

[steel mica]

Oh yeah im using it rn since im farming flametal in my main ashland island

[steel mica]

BRO

I think its my luckiest day today

[shy marlin]

??

[steel mica]

3 bloody valkyrie trophies

[shy marlin]

Pffttt

[steel mica]

I aint joking

I have 1 at my main base, 1 at the ashland base, and 1 on me rn

[shy marlin]

huge

[chrome badge]

Damn that's insane luck, I've only found 3 total and not in such a short window.

[steel mica]

very lucky indeed

[mossy river]

Are fuling village bonfires considered base structures?

They seem to be the same object ID, so probably?

[steel mica]

this is the 3rd time I died to lava

[light moat]

That damage can surprise you sometimes lol

[steel mica]

The first death I was expecting to die because I was testing if you could just jump around in the lava for a long time with the lightfoot mead and yes you can just not forever

2nd death I ran out of stamina mining flametal

3rd death was my corpse run effect running out and causing me to get encumbered whilst carrying the flametal

[tacit crystal]

You shouldn't neglect it during fight either, super nice.

[plain ore]

Ok so how can i change the difficulty of the world ive already started?

[tacit crystal]

In the main menu when selecting world, look out for "World modifiers" then click it after your world is selected (1 click to select).

There is difficulty slider.

[plain ore]

Thamks

[steel mica]

I know really handy, I just neglected it in the early-game because of how tedious it is to gather the recipes only for me to chug like a stack of them in a few minutes

[warped remnant]

how does the level losing work after you get killed

its certain levels or it is % ?

[nocturne wolf]

You lose 5% of all skills

[warped remnant]

okay

[golden granite]

Made it to plains but my friend no longer plays. Thinking about restarting but also feels bad to deal with greydwarfs all over again. Then again, has been so long and no sense of connection to my old world. Any of y'all had this experience? Did you restart? If you did, did you regret it?

[weary egret]

I kinda miss having to deal with greydwarves

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes starting new world is refreshing. But if you want to start anew for solo world and worry about doing it all again then you can turn resource modifier higher for the early game and then turn it back to normal when you reach to Plains.

[golden granite]

Yeah that's actually something I can do. Now to find a bro to play with

[wispy plinth]

Best food for mountain tier? I need decent stam as i use battleaxes

[nocturne wolf]

Wolf meat skewer, eyescream and onion soup (slightly more stamina) or turnip stew (better health regen) will be a good combination

[wispy plinth]

I'm thinking double serpent and eyes cream but idk if there's better.

[nocturne wolf]

You could swap wolf meat skewer for serpent stew if you have enough serpent meat

[wispy plinth]

That's a good point I didn't consider the health regen looking at stam foods

[nocturne wolf]

Or serpent stew + ocean feast + eyescream maybe

[wispy plinth]

We have serpent meat from past incident is it a reasonable food to farm because 70+ health seems pretty insane.

How do the feasts work i saw them but idk if it's worth the amount it takes

[open pecan]

They last for a longer time. 50 minutes instead of 30ish.

[wispy plinth]

Oh that's pretty good and it's 45 45 right? Would i want to ditch the stam food then and go for another mix like wolf jerky?

[open pecan]

The first ones are 35/35, then Sailors Bounty is 45/45.

And it goes up from there.

[wispy plinth]

That's cool

[open pecan]

Yeah they are worth it imo, I just never have enough room in my kitchen for a nice tabled display for them. 😭

[tacit crystal]

You put feast on table/platform with serving tray and eat it from the table. Each feast have 10 portions of food.

[rain flare]

#Peak Valheim @robust token

#screenshots message

[buoyant shoal]

Guys i need your help. Basically i had died to a boss and forgot to pick my stuff. I loaded the save before the boss fight and now i cannot find my stuff anywhere. Is it really lost or is there some way to get it back?

[nocturne wolf]

You can load a backup of your character the same way you load a backup of your world

[ancient merlin]

I am no expert, but my guess is, if you load a safe before dying, you will most likely not have lost your stuff because in that safe, you haven’t yet

[robust token]

Lol yeah, rare Yagluth vegvisir moment

[buoyant shoal]

Okay, thanks

[weary egret]

U'll need to find space for a table eventually if u want the rested bonus from darkwood table

[open pecan]

It is rough, but the long heavy table barely fits. Just makes the place cramped. 😅

[buoyant shoal]

Tried that, didnt work

[brazen linden]

There are 2 kind of saves in Valheim. Character and World. What did you restore?

[buoyant shoal]

I got it now. I restored both but since had forgotten to restore my character it glitched. Im like 2h behind but happy i got my stuff back

[shy marlin]

[tacit crystal]

Reminder of something?

[karmic compass]

Where are the latests valheim news ?

[open pecan]

https://valheim.com/news/word-from-the-devs-summer-in-sight/

[last elm]

I just found out there’s more than one type of raid once you beat the elder. I though it was just trolls

[vocal rivet]

Trolls aren't a boss raid.

[open pecan]

If don't want the element of surprise here's a full list of the events.

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

[last elm]

THE GROUND IS SHAKING

[vocal rivet]

Hm?

[shy marlin]

WHAT?

[last elm]

That’s what is says before 2 trolls spawn and attempt to destroy your base

[shy marlin]

oh okay

[vocal rivet]

Yes it does.

[plush umbra]

yes, but they're not considered a boss raid since they aren't disabled after you slay bonemass, nor are they meant to draw your attention towards the swamps

[last elm]

Well I didn’t know that. Haven’t even stepped foot in a swamp yet

[plush umbra]

yea the troll invasion is the first one that's not..."thematically"? tied to a boss

the other one unlocked by slaying the elder is a foul smell from the swamp, which unsurprisingly spawns swamp enemies and stops happening after you slay the swamp boss
-# though slaying said boss also unlocks a different invasion with the exact same name that doesn't stop happening

and considering biome 6 for some reason has two invasions that stop happening after its boss is slain, the patterns are a little bit confusing at times 😅

[sudden sage]

Does anyone on the moderator team know anything about hosting community events for vetted players to join?

[light snow]

[sudden sage]

Are your DM's open Henrik?

[plush umbra]

i would say that sounds like a normal #1024264966712340510 thing but @odd helm would know better than me

[sudden sage]

Ok, thanks! @plush umbra

[odd helm]

If it's part of your server, you can include it as part of your #1024264966712340510 post with no issues, yeah

[light snow]

Open enough but im going to bed wont reply

[sudden sage]

I don't want to host on my pc and play and the same time due to networking issues unfortunately.

[odd helm]

If you're looking for a server to play then you'll want to look in that channel. IG does not host their own servers.

[kindred phoenix]

looking for that too, it's been over a month... there are people crying here, Iron Gate! (me 😭 )

[tacit crystal]

We don't get blog post this month, due to them being on vacation during July.

[shy marlin]

Hopefully we see H*rvor doing a corpse run with some actual good weapons in the next dev blog

[kindred phoenix]

thanks, didn't know that!

[tacit crystal]

Smiffe has been saying that during few days recently. 👍

The "no blog post this month" part I mean, we knew earlier about them having vacations during Summer, mostly timing during this month.

[near furnace]

lol. I'd love that 😄

[fossil delta]

Best to ask in the #mods-discussion channel.

[unkempt iron]

I was looking for that, I couldn’t find it

[fossil delta]

Looks like you may be too new to see a lot of the other channels.

[unkempt iron]

I found it ☠️ I had to hit see all channels

Thank you

[fossil delta]

Thats good. Its been so long since I was new, I don't know what can and cannot be seen by newer people.

Let alone how they changed things after this entire server got "nuked" 20 months or so, ago.

[vocal rivet]

Everything.

[flat vector]

WOO. Yeah! Valheim, Yes! Let's go.

[kindred orchid]

finished the bonemass

we were not prepared

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @spring mica Looks interesting, do you have seed to share?

[plush umbra]

I needa get back on valheim its been a couple months now

Maybe start a new world

[tacit crystal]

Go for it!

[fossil delta]

I always start a new world with a new character. Like my current game is new, and it was a year and a day since we last played.

Speaking of which, my wife and I got into a conversation last night about dying in Valheim and skill loss. So we compared our characters, because I die... not often. Around 8 times so far. My wife dies a lot more than I do, but not nearly as often as the dozens of others I have played with over the years. She has died this play through, maybe 20 times. We did not open the map and count our death markers. So do not score me for accuracy. Anyways, she and I have only played while we both can play, so similar hours played. My skills were around an average of 40 points higher. So she has died around 3 times as often as I have, and we have about an average of a 40 point difference in our highest skills. We are still pretty close on things like swimming and fishing. IE skills that are usually below 20 anyways. So yeah, I'm glad I have gotten good at not dying very often. I see real differences when she and I fight stuff.

[tacit crystal]

Wait until you get to the point you don't die at all. Then you can get skills even over 50.

[fossil delta]

I have gotten to the Queen in solo plays. without dying. so have had several skills at 100 at the same time. Usually clubs, bow, run and jump.

[tacit crystal]

Just jesting a bit, don't worry. 🤭

[light moat]

I feel like the running skill is the most noticeable for me, and on my mage character having a high elemental skill seems like it makes a big difference in damage for magic weapons 🤔
But it could very well just be me getting better as a player, or better quality Eitr food.

[fossil delta]

Skills do adjust things, such as damage done, stamina used. So skills getting higher are a good thing, for sure.

[tacit crystal]

You deal better damage with Crystal battleaxe and 40+ axe skill level than with Krom and no skill level to swords for example.

[fossil delta]

I am fairly amused by the crafting and farming skills, and the bonus item/foods those give me. Plus the sound effect for when you get those bonus items still makes me laugh.

[shy marlin]

imo the biggest thing about skills is the reduced stam usage

with exceptions like bows where draw time is insane

[fossil delta]

Yeah, my Run was at 85 when we were looking last night. Seems like I can run the plains without stopping. I do, but man, I do run a long way before I need to stop.

[last elm]

Guys, my Valheim finally runs smooth. Only took deleting 1.5 TB of files but it is now playable

It’s been a long 6 days to say the least

[fossil delta]

Good. Why did you have to delete so much? Which types of files?

[last elm]

I reset my pc

[fossil delta]

So it wasn't all Valheim related files?

[last elm]

All those games I haven’t played in a while just got wiped off my pc

[last elm]

Nah

Don’t even have 1.5 GB of files for the game I’m pretty sure

[fossil delta]

Thats good, then. Been a long time since I have had to do a similar reset. Hope I never have to do one again. Yeah, Valheim itself is a very small game file.

[last elm]

Yeah, was surprised when I first downloaded it

[fossil delta]

I think we all were. It is amazingly small, for what it gives us.

[tacit crystal]

Especially with 2h weapons and secondary attacks.

Also can imagine helps if playing with no food.

[shy marlin]

Was lookin at the lens of "normal" play but yea that too

[vocal rivet]

You can do that? 😝

[stray fiber]

Any spanish group?

[last elm]

As soon as I stepped into my first swamp I was met with a 2 star draugr that dealt nearly 70 damage with 1 hit

Now I gotta sail all the way back just to retrieve my loot. Almost killed it though

[vocal rivet]

You might be able to find one in #1024264966712340510

[fossil delta]

Thats happened to me a few times. Even well after I learned this game. Not the sailing part, since my early hours of playing. I know to put up a portal near by before I even go into a swamp.

[pliant hatch]

I'm not certain you're aware of this, but there's a chat-command you can use ingame to bring up all your statistics; including deaths.

If you type /stats you will birng up a long list of information, through which you can scroll using the [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] keys.

The number of deaths you suffered from are listed at the top.

[kindred orchid]

i think i’ve died about 30 times before we’ve even made it to mountains

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure I used to know that, but with over a 1 year break, I had forgotten. Thanks!

[sly plover]

pls update the game pls

[fossil delta]

They are currently on vacation, plus they never up date until they are good and ready. Which I am fine with. They are just giving me good excuses to play the game yet again.

[steel mica]

I mean you can also do projects ingame whilst you wait for the update

[chrome badge]

pls wait for small genius dev team pls

[lunar sapphire]

Thank you for holding ~

[shy marlin]

Moder wiki is wrong

While grounded, she can perform a swipe attack with either claw or a bite, all of which does up to 110 Slash, 1000 Chop and 1000 Pickaxe damage.

Bite attack does pierce

[steel mica]

time to equip the root harnesk

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, the slash seems to be called Melee, but the numbers still match.

[nocturne wolf]

Her bite deals 120 pierce, the claws deal 110 slash

[vocal rivet]

Hm, needs fixing then.

[nocturne wolf]

Already done

[vocal rivet]

// taunt, { dmg: dmg({ pierce: 120, chop: 1000, pickaxe: 1000 }), name: 'bite', force: 120, toolTier: 3 }, // R8 { dmg: dmg({ slash: 110, chop: 1000, pickaxe: 1000 }), name: 'claw', force: 120, toolTier: 3 }, // R4 two: left & right { dmg: dmg({ pierce: 30, chop: 200, pickaxe: 200, frost: 200 }), burst: 16, name: 'ice shards', force: 30, toolTier: 3 }, // velocity=2/25 burstInterval=0.05, spread=20/13 { dmg: dmg({ chop: 200, pickaxe: 200, frost: 200, }), name: 'breath', force: 40, toolTier: 3 },

[vocal rivet]

Nice one.

[shy marlin]

Not entirely sure how long wiki things take to upload / change but for me it still says

Melee
While grounded, she can perform a swipe attack with either claw or a bite, all of which does up to 110 Slash, 1000 Chop and 1000 Pickaxe damage.

Which is incorrect the attacks have different values

The stats section is correct though

[nocturne wolf]

That’s all I changed, I didn’t realise it was somewhere else on the page

[shy marlin]

Yea the melee part still has to be updated

[vocal rivet]

Should be instantaneous.

[light snow]

Yes pierce attack does more dmg than the slash, its not just "melee"

Cant be having minsinformation on our wiki! Thanks for fixing it neck enthusiest 🤙

[nocturne wolf]

There’s also a difference in movespeed, bite is 50% claws are 100%, but the wiki doesn’t list so much info about attacks

[vocal rivet]

At some point there ends up just being too much on the page that most people aren't remotely even bothered about so it's a bit of a balancing act.

[nocturne wolf]

Doesn’t everyone want to know that Dvergr melee has multi target penalty?

[vocal rivet]

Lol.

[light snow]

More info the better

People can choose to read/take in what they need.

[vocal rivet]

I would say no, honestly. Just splurging everything on the page is just unhelpful. If people are that interested they can always find out for themselves.

[light snow]

Theres a very good reason theres a 'More ⬇️ ' button

All the nitty gritty stuff can go there

[nocturne wolf]

All the nitty gritty stuff is here if you need it #valheim-chat message

[vocal rivet]

Wikis are generally aimed at the average user and should have the information important to them. The more advanced users aren't looking at a Wiki for that.

[light snow]

Theres no reason not to list all the types of attacks a boss can do.

[shy marlin]

@light snow you're advanced bro 😎 🤙

[merry pebble]

But we have that 😄

[vocal rivet]

Have what?

[merry pebble]

All the attacks that bosses can do are listed.

[light snow]

We literally just corrected the moder wiki not properly showing all her attacks 😄

[vocal rivet]

Wel, they weren't until half an hour ago, thanks to Blob, but yeah. All there.

[light snow]

Bless 🤙

[vocal rivet]

Is Blob right by the way? Feels a little awkward but I've never found anything I preferred.

[light snow]

Just associate him with necks he will be happy

[nocturne wolf]

Yeah it’s ok

[shy marlin]

@nocturne wolf do you know the exact range of the Queen spit attack

[worn bay]

found a funny interaction i fount a greyling and did my right click on it with a knife while sliding down a hill i sent it easily 200m (short hill in the meadows)

[undone urchin]

SO UH

whats changed since like

2020

[shy marlin]

Mistlands + Ashlands are done, 2 new traders, frost caves in mountains + 3 mini bosses, new mob in swamp, general polish and system changes

[undone urchin]

Sweet

ty

[fossil delta]

Sigh. We may need to progress the game just so we can stop having to store all this black metal, barley and flax. At least we have a portal at Yag, so can do so when we decide to. We have even stopped harvesting our Mistland crops, because we have so much of those too. Only thing we really need to stock up on is fish and hare, that doesn't require us going into the Mistlands..

[vagrant pasture]

What would be good ideas for new Deep North crops? 🤔 💭

[fossil delta]

Well, they get to draw inspiration from legends, in addition to just making things up, so they could be anything, really.

[frozen loom]

Hi guys.. I'm really lost in this game.. juz started the game

can anyone help me with this..

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the bird.

[frozen loom]

I did.. still hunting deers

for the trophy thingie

[rain flare]

Welcome fellow warrior! 🥳

Don’t worry too much about rushing the game - just have some fun, play it slow and explore the world
Valhalla awaits!

[rain flare]

Your main goal is to explore each new biome - every biome other than the ocean has new resources, enemies, dungeons, and a boss that must be beaten to progress the overall “story”

There is a loose progression that you should follow as certain biomes have VERY chunky mobs which will make you regret your life choices if you try to take them on too early

[frozen loom]

oh.

so I need to explore? I thought of making a base at first like other survival games but the mechanics of this is kinda confusing

[rain flare]

Currently, being in the meadows, you are really just focusing on getting the most basic of things together

Gather some berries, make tools to kill deers/boars/necks, and build a nice shelter to avoid night time shenanigans

[near furnace]

you can do whatever you want, really 🤔

you're not forced to do a perticular progression path

[rain flare]

Very true Smiffe 🥰

I would still recommend getting yourself a solid base of operations before you go out and explore the world

It is a fairly big place, so start out small and then do some exploring

Best bet is to pick a direction and keep walking till you either hit a new biome or find yourself an ocean

[frozen loom]

I'm trying to get to that point.. pretty scary without knowing the basics of the game..

[near furnace]

play around then 😄

[frozen loom]

this is nothing like other survival games I ever played, Hats off for that Believe me when I say this.

[near furnace]

I usually just play around until I feel I need something. then I try to focus on that thing

[frozen loom]

This is a starting point then. Ty for the recommendation

[frozen loom]

wait u r a dev.. Damn 🥹

[near furnace]

one advice I would give tho is to make most things you can in workbenches. you need to have interacted with things, to unlock new things and recepies

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/fo-sho-snoop-dogg-for-sure-gif-10890829

[rain flare]

You are welcome 🤗

I would also recommend mentally preparing yourself for dying - like, ALOT

The game is designed to be challenging - preparation is key to succeeding in all scenarios

Find a new enemy?
Take the time to learn how it interacts with you and some of the basic world environments

Same with new biomes
Doing things slowly and meticulously will be rewarded

Rushing in unprepared is very likely to get you killed in an inconvenient place making gear retrieval difficult or outright impossible

[frozen loom]

That's a new thing.. I guess I'm gonna get addicted to another survival

[frozen loom]

Understood ❤️ Ty for everything

you too Smiffe.. not gonna ping ya though ❤️

[near furnace]

it's fine to ping me tho 😄

I allow it

[glass parrot]

Does the broom forgive you for killing it and if so how long would that take?

[tacit crystal]

Missed gif chance. https://tenor.com/fi/view/i'll-allow-it-gif-17514413855288578269

[near furnace]

Hm.. don't think it does 🤔

just kill it

[tacit crystal]

It won't hold grudge when it's dead.

[glass parrot]

I thought it respawns 🤣

[near furnace]

it does

[tacit crystal]

Respawned broom won't hold the grudge of previous broom.

[glass parrot]

Oh okay good

[near furnace]

it's nice combat training to fight a broom 😄

[glass parrot]

I wasn’t planning on fighting it originally. A wraith just kind of flew in shortly after an abomination clipped through. It was weak but I was better 💪

[near furnace]

sounds like alot of combat

[tacit crystal]

Now you have the trophy to hang on your wall. 👍

[dark coyote]

best greydwarf farmer btw

[glass parrot]

Sure was I almost broke a sweat in the heat of combat for those few seconds

[rain flare]

The broom is like a Dverger
They have no forgiveness in their hearts 😂

[turbid lotus]

Forreal? What do you have to do, pull the broom all the way there?

[nocturne wolf]

The range of the projectiles or the range of the attack trigger?
She'll use that attack if you're between 25 and 5 meters away from her, and 25 degrees or less from where she's looking.
The projectiles initially travel at 15 m/s and destroy themselves if they don't hit anything after four seconds. Gravity increases their downwards speed by 10m/s every second.

[nocturne wolf]

I've fixed this part now

[compact cedar]

Well, guess its time to start a new playthrough to learn the new mechanics XD

[restive lotus]

Anyone know if the devs have said the full release will be better optimised? (For consoles)

[merry pebble]

Very likely more optimised than now, since optimizations come in almost every update 😄

[brazen linden]

They have stated in interviews and podcasts, that all over optimisations are not a high priority, because then they have to re-do it, every time they add a new item/mob/effect/boss/biome/etc in a new update. When they are (mostly) done adding stuff, they will focus on getting the FPS stable, on supported platforms. So sometime after 1.0? Maybe??

[sullen sluice]

All they need is render distance when I play on a laptop, I feel loading alot less is better with all the trees it would run better

[proud cypress]

How long does fermentation take

[merry pebble]

2 in-game days

[nocturne wolf]

It takes two days, you can sleep at noon to skip the most time

[proud cypress]

Thanks

[trail crypt]

I tried to mine the copper chunck from below

There is nothing below and it doesnt destroy itself

[nocturne wolf]

Are there any objects close to it? The area that checks if the ore is floating is larger than what you can see.

[vast fox]

hi is there any news when the update will come out?

[open pecan]

None yet, chief.

[vast fox]

ty mate 😄

[vocal rivet]

Any news will be posted in #news

Devs are on vacation at the moment so it will be a little while yet.

[bright crag]

does a 2 star gjall spawn 2 star ticks?

[shy marlin]

no

Still spawns normal ticks

[fossil delta]

I have 7 of them. No signs of grudges as of yet.

[bright crag]

thank the lord for that

[flat vector]

I love Valheim!!! Woo yeah!
On a sad note, I've suffered a physical ailment and am no longer to work due the next couple weeks.
Thankyou Valheim for being there

[tiny tiger]

I prescribe atleast a few hours of valheim a day and plenty of rest, get better soon

[flat vector]

Preciate it, doc

[shy marlin]

[quasi latch]

Love potion or noob

[tacit crystal]

Cannot enjoy even love potion in my current run.

[last elm]

Is there a limit to how close haldor can be from spawn?

[tacit crystal]

Minimum distance is 1500m from center.

[last elm]

Is there anyway to be able to tell the distance from spawn you are?

[tacit crystal]

The world has 10500m radius from center to the edge. You can set some markers to 10km, 5km etc.

[fossil delta]

I do wish they would give us a solid meauring tool. Its still a degree of just guessing. Maybe once they are finalizing this game, we will get it.

[last elm]

I got 2, 4, 6, and 8km markers on my map now. Used a ruler to measure even distances

[brazen linden]

You have that already in the game

[fossil delta]

Thats likely "close enough". I still hope for the day they give us an accurate in game tool. No doubt I could find a mod to do it, but I do not wish to open that Pandor's Box just yet.

[fossil delta]

Oh? Where? I have not noticed it.

[brazen linden]

dev command
pos
in console

[fossil delta]

Oh, I don't use dev commands any more than I use mods.

[brazen linden]

Cool. But you have the tools to know how far you're from center

[fossil delta]

True. I'd just prefer it if they made it part of the actual game some day.

[brazen linden]

Then why not all the dev commands into the vanilla game?

[fossil delta]

I've seen Dev Commands completely ruin the game play on enough servers as it is.

[brazen linden]

I'm just curious. Since the dev has "deemed" pos as "cheating" (placing it behind the devcommands), but you would like a measuring tool (like in google map?) in the vanilla game? And devcommands completly ruins the game??

[fossil delta]

Dev commands CAN completely ruin the game play. It of course comes down to how people use them to actually ruin things.

I've occassionaly used them, but it was to save my game, not ruin it. Like when my character got stuck in a spot in a swamp crypt. Dev commands got it free.

[brazen linden]

Sure. Like when they can provide your position, so you can see how far you're from center.

[scenic wing]

my coworker just got sent to the urgent care for stitches (hand), so I know how that is. he'll probably be gaming oddly for a while.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but that is a tool plenty of other games provide without requiring opening up dev commands. Hopefully it will be the same for Valheim, once its finished.

[flat vector]

luckily its me ankle. ran it over with nearly 1000lbs of product. luckily? i can still game

[scenic wing]

yikes, you sound like my trucker friend. keep the swelling down

[trail crypt]

Guys is there a way to uncraft something

[fossil delta]

Structures, yes. Items, no.

[trail crypt]

Bro i just waisted 20bronze insetead of upgrading the buckler

Im gonna kill myself fffffffff

[fossil delta]

Painful.

Does it help that getting bronze is comparably the safest material to get?

[waxen sedge]

i finished my first base about 30 mins ago

[fossil delta]

Nice. Just keep in mind, this game is only new the first time you play it. So go slow, and just enjoy it. Besides, its going to be a while yet before they actually finish the game.

[tacit crystal]

Now you have backup buckler if you need to do corpse run to your tombstone.

[fossil delta]

😄 a few back ups.

[trail crypt]

Yeah lol

[last elm]

did you save the game??

[fossil delta]

Playing solo, you might need them.

[trail crypt]

Yeah its saved

[fossil delta]

You can die in very, very sticky situations.

There used to be a group dedicated to helping such players, but I have not seen mention of them since I started playing again, a few weeks ago.

[sullen sluice]

Ive been going the Tower shield route, now I got ||serpent shield||

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I always do Tower Shields. Definitely a great shield to have, especially for the plains.

[sullen sluice]

I just found out that I have pierce resist on the shield and root harnesk, rip squitos

[fossil delta]

They do not stack, but yeah, makes the plains much less of an issue.

[sullen sluice]

Since they don't stack i assume they give equal resistance?

[fossil delta]

They do.

[nocturne wolf]

Pierce resist on the shield and harnesk stack because shield resistances are applied separately

[sullen sluice]

Well then

[fossil delta]

Are they? Not what I was told back in the day, but I did seem to take even less damage when I wore both,

Guess I should say, used both.

[nocturne wolf]

Any other sources of resistance don’t stack so players who haven’t used this will often assume they don’t stack.

You can use bonemass instead of harnesk though

[fossil delta]

Well, I aksed the "experts" here, back then. Which would have been 3 or 4 years ago. When we still only had the plains as the last biome.

[sullen sluice]

Do all 3 stack?

[waxen sedge]

How am I supposed to get into a swamp without dying

The enemies are so powerful

[nocturne wolf]

Pierce resistance is the only damage modifier on any shields so it’s the only one which can be stacked

[nocturne wolf]

What armor and food do you have?

[waxen sedge]

Troll hide armor and I have honey and raspberries

[fossil delta]

Are you trying to enter without finishing the Black Forest?

[waxen sedge]

I have the swamp key and everything I need

[nocturne wolf]

You need better food. You should make a cauldron and carrot farm.

Also upgrade the armor to level 3 if you haven’t already

[sullen sluice]

What about if I wore shield, harnesk then used bonemass resistance?

[nocturne wolf]

The harnesk and bonemass don’t stack

[fossil delta]

Yeah, HP is key for parrying, and blocking.

[waxen sedge]

I’ve done that

[nocturne wolf]

More stamina helps a lot too, especially with the rain in swamps

[fossil delta]

True, but your not going to survive hits without good HP, even if you parry.

[waxen sedge]

I have a max of 90 stamina with current food, and eikthyr’s bonus helps me run around a lot

[nocturne wolf]

Use stamina to avoid getting hit in the first place

[sullen sluice]

Troll armor 3 and bronze sword 2 i started the swamps at, do not be there at night.

[fossil delta]

That power is my favorite power throughout the game.

[waxen sedge]

I honestly completely forgot about blocking

[sullen sluice]

Also place a portal near every new biome in case you die

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, my friends usually set up portals

[fossil delta]

In case? When. When you die. 😄

[waxen sedge]

It’s annoying how there are some materials that you can’t bring through portals

[sullen sluice]

Imma Profesh

[sullen sluice]

Yeah i turned off that setting lol

I think its only ores tho

[fossil delta]

Only the ores, and its meant to increase the realism and challenge of the game. But even I turned that off, after a while.

[nocturne wolf]

Mostly ores and metals but there are some other items later in the game

[waxen sedge]

I’m gonna ask my friend if they can turn it off because I had to build a whole new smeltery area when all the furnace thing were moved to the swamp

[sullen sluice]

The game gives you a cart you gotta make to load your ore and walk it back

But no ty

[waxen sedge]

We use ships to move things around

[sullen sluice]

I learned about the cart first lmao

[nocturne wolf]

Ships are always a better option than carts if there’s an ocean in the right place

[waxen sedge]

Same

[fossil delta]

The cart is one way, but there are a number of ways to make it easier on yourself. Making the portals work is obviously the easiest way of all.

So if doing it the hard way makes the game not fun, use the portals.

[waxen sedge]

Does anyone have good building tips? (Check out my base in #screenshots if you wanna know how good I am)

[sullen sluice]

The more I play normally, the more I learn and have 2nd guesses about my Immersive run with no map and no portals

[fossil delta]

Like pretty much everything about this game, practice, practice, practice. Watching build videos is good too.

[waxen sedge]

That sounds terrible 😭

[sullen sluice]

First 2 hours have been lol

[fossil delta]

Have you done a play through before?

[waxen sedge]

I watched a few good ones that helped a bit, but my friends can always build massive things so fast and I’m trying to keep up with my tiny huts and towers

[sullen sluice]

Lol, nope just started bout 2 weeks ago and im on Moder

I was curious how bad it was

[fossil delta]

Then it goes back to practicing. I sucked in the beginning too.

[sullen sluice]

Yeah, Necks used to be scary 😅

[waxen sedge]

Would it be a good idea to try to copy some other builds and then try to make some of my own?

[fossil delta]

If I could, I'd show you the huge builds I have now done. Unfortunately this server got nuked about 20 months ago, and with the 1 hour cool down now, I'm not reposting.

[fossil delta]

Thats a good way to practice. I copied a lot at first as well.

[nocturne wolf]

You can put multiple pictures into one message, you’re not waiting one hour per screenshot. How many do you have?

[fossil delta]

I did far more than one build, is what I am getting at. I am not sticking them all into one post.

[waxen sedge]

I’ve watched some tutorials on how to build and some videos that are just strait up a time lapse of people building, they were both pretty helpful for letting me know what to do

[fossil delta]

Besides, no one has given me a good reason for them to put that 1 hour cool down on that channel. It was bad enough when they had 10 minute cool downs.

I'm sure its a good story as to why, I just have not heard it.

[vocal rivet]

Once again, it's to stop people having discussions in there rather than posting images.

[fossil delta]

That is the real story? OK, I was wrong. 😄 Its not a good one.

[vocal rivet]

Good or not, its the truth.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, speaks more about the posters, not the moderation.

[vocal rivet]

Oh, absolutely. Some of the worst offenders even had to have posting rights in those channels removed completely.

[fossil delta]

Dang. Glad I was not active for that nonsense.

Still doesn't make me a fan of the hour, but at least I can kind of understand it now.

[lunar sapphire]

Whilst the screenshot channel has a 1 hour cooldown, in your case the #building-screenshots sounds more tailored for what you want to share. Plus it has a 30 second cooldown.

[shy marlin]

What's the dev command for reducing skill gain rate

[vocal rivet]

setkey SkillGainRate

[shy marlin]

ah ty forgot it was setkey

[vocal rivet]

No worries. I never remember which is a key and which is a modifier.

I'll be honest, I just checked it on the Wiki.

[stoic sparrow]

who waants to plaay

rn

just vanilla

[pliant hatch]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.

Although it could depend at the timezone you're in, as this is a global server and a large part of its members are most likely asleep.

[undone turret]

hello, where is the world file stored

[merry pebble]

C:\Users\ "your username" \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim and there you should see worlds_local folder and you will want the .db and .fwl files

That is if you have the saves saved locally, if not you can move them to local in-game 🙂
-# Also, the AppData folder is normally invisible so if you dont see it you have to enable hidden files to be visible 😄

[hushed grotto]

yo guys will recommend goin solo or finding someone to play with ?

never played ofc

[merry pebble]

Very much depends on you, some people much rather play with others than solo and vice versa. Try it solo and if it feels boring try to rope in some friends to play with you 😄

[hushed grotto]

is it hard ?

[merry pebble]

Can be 😄 tho the difficulty really spikes from 3rd biome forward 🙂

There are world modifiers that can make it easier or harder tho, so you can customize the experience quite a bit 🙂
For first time i really suggest all default tho 😄

[hushed grotto]

tbh am just gonna hop on without even watching a vid

[light moat]

Can’t think of a better way to start

[merry pebble]

Best possible way to play imho 😄
I would also suggest not to hang too much around here on this server since you will inevitably get spoiled quite a few things.

[hushed grotto]

should i build where i spawned tho

[merry pebble]

Building close to an ocean will be usefull later 🙂 but you certainly can build near the spawn.

[hushed grotto]

btw how can i repair my axe

[merry pebble]

Build a workbench and build a small hut (just a few walls and roof) around it 🙂

[light moat]

If you find yourself needing an axe or hammer quickly, can always just craft another in a pinch

[open pecan]

I usually build my first house next to the spawn so that later it can serve as a portal hub after I've moved on.

[merry pebble]

And here we get to the spoilers i mentioned 😄

[undone turret]

wasn't there a modding chat or am I remembering wrong

[merry pebble]

#mods-discussion 🙂 all the way at the bottom

[undone turret]

holy

[open pecan]

Oh whoops.

[hushed grotto]

been chasing animals for the past 20 mins lol

[light moat]

Hunting deer is one of my favorite things about early game

[sullen sluice]

Deer sound like barking dogs.

[hushed grotto]

they keep runing tho any tips hjow to sneak on them

this game is so dope

[sullen sluice]

I recommend range otherwise very tricky

[hushed grotto]

to get a bow i need hide tho

[sullen sluice]

Other things can be used as range

[light moat]

Boar should attack you, which gives material needed for some weapons 👀

[sullen sluice]

One other thing that early on

[nocturne wolf]

After a short time deer return to where they spawned if you scared them away.

[sullen sluice]

I always thought they despawned

[nocturne wolf]

Most creatures can’t despawn

[sullen sluice]

Unless i use a sword on them

[fossil delta]

You can sneak. Its best to use a knife, though. Nice and fast strikes.

Once your sneak gets to 10+ you start having regular success on the deer.

[sullen sluice]

I just start3d a new run based on restricted weapons I can use and I gotta say knife p goodd

[fossil delta]

I love the animation for the kife's secondary attack. Still makes me laugh after all these years.

[sullen sluice]

I say Hiyah! when I use it 🙂

[fossil delta]

😄

[sullen sluice]

Im aiming to play with the 2 handed spear. I never remember it's name. A something

[fossil delta]

I'm not sure. The furthest I have ever gone with those is the Ancient Bark spear.

[sullen sluice]

The Atgeir 💡

[fossil delta]

Oh, thats not a spear. but those are pretty effective too. Their special is kind of crazy.

Polearm is what their skill is covered by.

[sullen sluice]

Aren't polearms just spears without the bladed tip? Lol

Or is that a staff

[fossil delta]

Spears can often double as a pole arm, but pole arms cannot be thrown. Spears can be.

[shy marlin]

Spears also do not even come close to the level of control atgeir has

So no, spears cannot double as a pole arm

Absolute nonsense

[fossil delta]

😄 I can tell your an expert.

Your correct for Valheim, so good enough.

[shy marlin]

Are we in #valheim-chat or not

[fossil delta]

Yes, which is why I said your opinion was expert enough. For Valheim.

[shy marlin]

omg I'm an expert? Lets gooo 😎

[light snow]

Yeah so your opinion is not relevant to the general valheim population

[shy marlin]

😔 nooooooooooooooo

Just fell down on my knees in the middle of walmart 😢

[light moat]

almart

[light snow]

Sorry this is not the place for your real life discussions. We only talk about valheim, morgen gjall, and spam coffee and cat gifs in this channel. Please refer to #general or dms for your personal life.

[near furnace]

Correct. I see your server tag reflects your love for our 4 legged feline overlords

[light snow]

Yes, its time to add cats to valheim

[plush umbra]

PREACH

[shy marlin]

All I need is Rocky as a companion 🤙

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-nice-smile-kitty-cute-gif-17061754

btw. I blame you Henrik for my current knife only playthrough

[light snow]

It is a very fun weapon. One shotting gjalls is awesome

[fossil delta]

One shotting Gjalls, with a knife? I will have to try this. What was your skill level at the time?

Also, was it the black metal knife?

[near furnace]

unexpected enemies don't really like suprise-knife-attacks 😄

[fossil delta]

It does have a heck of a multiplier.

[plush umbra]

don't all knives have the same backstab multiplier

[fossil delta]

I don't know. I do not use them enough to know off the top of my head.

[livid zenith]

All of them are 6x

[near furnace]

should all be the same unless we missed one 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Abyssal razor is basically the most dps weapon you can possibly make before swamp era.

[light snow]

#self-promotion message posted the clip here.
Theres another one i have where you can sneak hit the belly of a gjall for up to 2500

[shy marlin]

Oh I did no rested/armor/etc all of the buffs in the game + no skills vh queen last night lol

Gonna try and do fader tonight

[open pecan]

Mad man.

[tall swan]

no valheim update this month?

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂

Devs were/are(?) on vacation so not much from development to be talked about 😄

[open pecan]

I want beach pics.

[shy marlin]

Any month without H*rvor is a good month in my book

[merry pebble]

You really dont like her huh xD

[tall swan]

oh thats right they did say the vacation

[open pecan]

Is it because the axe?

[merry pebble]

Would bet it is

[tall swan]

you think we'll get an inbetween biomes update this year?

[shy marlin]

There's a combat update before deep north, dunno if it's gonna be this year tho

[merry pebble]

The combat update is in works 😄 so i would think we will, but no official info if it will come this year.

[tall swan]

i wonder how much that will change things

[shy marlin]

We really don't know all that much about it so hard to say

[tall swan]

maybe they'll make a poncho in that update to protect you from rain, lol

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️

[open pecan]

If past is prologue my guess is Combat Update this fall. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[merry pebble]

I am more curious about the armor pieces we know will be there 😄

[tall swan]

the bone armor does look sick

[open pecan]

Same. More interested in new items than attacking up/down hill. My brain already adjusts for elevation so I'll need to retrain it. 😭

[shy marlin]

I think the sloped adjustments will help new players a lot tbh

[tall swan]

more recipes for what items we have will add more depth to the game too.

[merry pebble]

I am plenty happy about the slope combat upgrades 😄

[open pecan]

Yeah happy to see what they did with it.

[merry pebble]

100% agree, i personally wouldnt really need anything done with slope fighting since i already change my elevation when fighting enemy on slopes to hit them, but new players will benefit a LOT 😄

[tall swan]

the spear thrusts matching elevation will be amazing

[fossil delta]

Yeah, even though I am accustomed to the combat slope issues, I would like to see that go away.

[tall swan]

how are you all preparing for deep north?

[shy marlin]

Waiting for combat update to do prep lol

[fossil delta]

I'm not, other than staying out of those areas.

[open pecan]

Looking for a good seed.

[fossil delta]

I have seen plenty of those shared in the past. The channel dedicated to that should have a outstanding repository.

[open pecan]

For sure. I have several candidates to choose from and just got one from there today.

[tall swan]

i'm nostalgic for my world i've played in, it's held up for all updates except rocky

[open pecan]

You've done all updates on the same seed?

[tall swan]

yup. when mistlands came out i had to use a mod to refresh older mistlands that were explored before then, worked amazingly i might add.

[fossil delta]

Good to know. I have played many characters in many new seeds, most of which I liked. So it is good to know that if I really want to revisit those worlds, I can fix them, if need be.

[open pecan]

That's pretty sweet.

[tall swan]

ashlands didn't need a mod, it actually reloaded explored content perfectly. the stuff built around that area crumbled and fell apart, but thats what they warned us about anyways.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, most of my building was in the original biomes. Some builds were humongous. So if those get destroyed, it will be painful.

I think the builds we did in the Mistlands will hold up to future changes, though. I hope so. We did a lot of dying doing those builds. 😄

[tall swan]

i dug a moat in the ashlands, surprisingly didn't die, but it took forever to dash out and reload health. was kinda hoping the lava blobs would die if they hit the water but not the case.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've done very limited building, and playing, in the Ashlands. So I have yet to create any real concerns there.

[livid grove]

Has there been any talk of new enemies? Would be cool if there were special enemies that could spawn if the biomes were big enough and not very close to the middle of the map

[sullen sluice]

Is it normal that I had 2 Draugrs attack me in the Mountains?

[shy marlin]

yes

Draugr can spawn in a ruined structure in the mountains

[fossil delta]

I've only encountered them in the keeps/towers. Never the cabins or the wells. Still, a weird choice to even have them in the mountains.

[light moat]

Like the minibosses for the Hildir dungeons?

[light moat]

Weirder to find them in meadows
I actually think it’s neat though

[fossil delta]

I do like finding those villages. Its not overly weird, though. They are usually a good indication a swamp is close by.

I've often found them right on the border between a meadow and a swamp.

In the mountains, I have found them in towers with no swamp nearby. Only black forest or meadow down below.

[livid grove]

I mean like, new mobs. Like sleipnir, huldra, or even spawn of ratatosk. If the black forest biome is big enough and far enough from the power pillars (map spawn point) then these mobs could spawn instead of greydwarves or trolls or something

[fossil delta]

A nice idea, but they have given no indications, that I have caught, which is not saying much, that they will be adding even more to the game than the North biome.

Pretty much everything they have added, was at least hinted at, in the original "road map" they offered. Then had to greatly alter.

Smiffe has indicated, though, that they have been struggling with all the options we have since been given. IE he has pretty much said, we have a lot more options than they were going to give us, originally. So it might be within the realm of possibility that we will see more. I'll just keep that as "unlikely".

[vocal rivet]

Well have more mobs in Deep North. In all likelihood that will be it.

[fading gull]

What mods should I download to make the game feel better while sticking to as close of vanilla game as possible? Like QoLs n what not

[nocturne wolf]

#mods-discussion is the best place to ask

[fading gull]

Gotcha didnt see that channel ty

[livid grove]

In the deep north, for sure. But it would still be cool to have an additional tier of "standard" mobs

[vocal rivet]

It would? I think we have plenty. Don't need to bloat the game.

[livid grove]

I don't mean in number capable of being spawned at once, I just mean in number of enemies that can spawn in a biome.

I think it's fair for it to be a toggle-able option upon world creation

[vocal rivet]

I know what you meant.

[fossil delta]

They have added things like the abomination and the tar oozes since I started playing. Plus the cultists and other denizens of the mountain caves. So seeing more might be possible.

[vocal rivet]

Yes, at a completely different development stage.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Plus Smiffe keeps saying how they are trying to limit giving us even more stuff. So I agree its unlikely they will add more to the other biomes.

Plus most of it was at least hinted at in the original "road map". So they have already given us everything promised, plus considerably more.

[vocal rivet]

And it wasn't what Mirion was asking about anyway.

[vocal rivet]

The Ocean update is the only thing we're really missing.

And I can live with that.

[fossil delta]

They have added things to the Ocean. Just probably not what they originally envisioned.

[light moat]

Wasn’t there moon phases or something in the road map? I wonder that the idea was for that 🤔

[tacit crystal]

So more spawns at the area? I wouldn't mind honestly, some are missing like fuling berserkers from other than villages and possibly at stonehenges.

[livid grove]

Well, I'll just note it as something I would be very interested in seeing happen

[vocal rivet]

What was added? Aside from the useless fish?

[fossil delta]

Isn't there a new serpent?

[vocal rivet]

That's an Ashlands mob.

[fossil delta]

Its still in the waters. Still a threat to our boats.

[vocal rivet]

But we were talking about an Ocean update, not a vaguely water related update.

[fossil delta]

Fair enough.

[fossil delta]

A lot of cool ideas have been brought up over the years. Unfortunately if they acted upon them, they would never finish Valheim.

[livid grove]

Very true

[fossil delta]

Frankly, I have been shocked at how responsive they have been. Like I never imagined them giving us difficulty settings.

[vocal rivet]

The game would be also a hideous unbalanced mess that neither the players or the devs like.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, very true.

[livid grove]

There's a good balance to be found in hearing out your player base and focusing on what you want/ what motivates you. You need to do be able to actually do the work it takes, but you also need people to keep playing the game

[vocal rivet]

They don't need people to keep playing the game. It's not a live service product.

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure they have that covered until they finish all the biomes. After that, I will have to turn to what I have always turned to, to prolong my interest in a given game. Modding.

As I have mentioned before, I am shocked at how interested I have remained in Valheim, without already turning to modding.

[livid grove]

Is there a reason you're so adversarial?

[vocal rivet]

I thought we were having a discussion. Disagreeing with you isn't being adversarial.

[livid grove]

You're not discussing you're just telling me I'm wrong

[vocal rivet]

I've not once done that.

But I can see where this is going, so I'll take my leave.

[livid grove]

I guess you've been told this before. Have a good day

[open pecan]

He has. Like every other day.

[livid grove]

Persistence is a good trait, so got to at least commend that

[open pecan]

And I admire your optimism. 🙂

I am hoping Fuling Pirates show up.

[livid grove]

That sounds terrifying

[open pecan]

Maybe farm enough of them and get a new boat.

[mossy lance]

i was just getting popcorn, where did derek go

[open pecan]

Yeah you'd have to make them spawn pretty far from spawn.

[fossil delta]

He is trying to be helpful and informative. Lets remember its not easy to properly understand what we write, compared to hearing our voices and seeing our body language.

[livid grove]

I think that is subjective, but i also think it's possible to have a lighthearted tone through text 🙃

[cursive adder]

He goes about it in a very passive aggressive way. Not really a likable character

He’s also blocked me for virtually no reason 👍

[open pecan]

Sameish.

[livid grove]

Also, I'm not trying to start a bash session, so I'm just saying. It would be cool to see new creatures the farther out from spawn you go

[open pecan]

I agree with you.

Gives you a reason to search the whole map.

[fossil delta]

I've interacted with him for years now. So I get that he is coming from a good place. He also has admitted he has anger issues. So I like him. He is honest.

[livid grove]

They do a decent job with the mini boss' and traders, but there's still not really any reason to explore new black forests once you're like in the mistlands areas

[nocturne wolf]

There shouldn’t be any, black forest is an earlier biome

[fossil delta]

Yeah, certain biomes do go away as you go out from the center. In every direction.

How do I know this? I have fully explored many of my randomly generated worlds.

[open pecan]

Dang.

[mossy river]

Blueberries and thistle will keep you coming back to the black forest, but only a little.

[fossil delta]

Thistle is the one you need for the longest part of the game.

The new feasts have changed that up a bit.

[mossy river]

Swamp for bloodbags/thistle is also good, blood pudding remains a great base building food. But now that ratatosk exists, blueberries are always on my list.

Additional resources remain a huge reason to explore.

[livid grove]

There's definitely the possibility for black forest to be directly next to mistlands and even very close to ashlands

[fossil delta]

I have a wood chest full of blue berries, so I hope those will last us. We still explore a lot, so getting more will not be an issue if we run low enough.

[livid grove]

I'm not saying it should be necessary in order to play the game, but if there are things you can get, I think it would be cool having mobs in black forest you need to have silver gear to fight

[mossy river]

Go into the black forest at night after killing all the bosses, lol

[mossy lance]

noooooo Q_Q

[fossil delta]

Which is why you said they would need to be farther out from center, etc... to give us time to get that gear.

[livid grove]

Right, not near the center, that's just cruel

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I cannot imagine how much higher death counts would be. 😄

[mossy river]

The biome layout is a little weird on the east/west map edges IMO. Where you can only have black forest, mountains, and mistlands. I feel like mistlands, mountains, and plains would be better.

[fossil delta]

The more east/west you go, the more you see that.

[livid grove]

Lol I myself would hate that. But if there's a large black forest biome right next to plains, and there's a creature running around in there that i need silver+ to survive? I'm down for that, that sounds cool.

Similar to how you find draugr in meadows

[mossy river]

I believe the biome distribution was changed to make sure there's enough mistlands? I could be misremembering. I think they also pushed swamps a little further from the center?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its just a question of if they want to add more time to finishing Valheim to add such elements. I doubt they will.

[livid grove]

I would think it would be a post production addition

[fossil delta]

I'm not sure, but I have had similar questions/thoughts.

[livid grove]

Ship the game with deep north, and then look into the potential for new mega mobs

[mossy lance]

isnt the game already like that? you can even get fulings that spawn in meadow after killing the respective biome boss

[livid grove]

Like, in a raid? How do you get naturally spawning fullings in meadows? I haven't seen this myself

[mossy river]

Ah, here we go. According to wiki, swamps went from 2000-8000m from the world center to just 2000-6000. For more mistlands I think. No other notes about changes on the wiki.

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

[mossy lance]

no raid, natural spawns, you can even get mistland seekers in meadow. not sure how much you have played the game tho.

as i think thats respective to the days that have passed in the game

[livid grove]

In game days? I think 450 is the farthest I've gone

[fossil delta]

This convo is reminding me of a island, continent, however you refer to each piece of land, my wife and I explored a day ago. Its like it couldn't make up its mind. A little bit of plains here, little bit of swamp there, some black forest over there. The whole thing was pretty much literally a patchwork of all the biomes before Mistlands.

[nocturne wolf]

How would players in black forest progression who run into these enemies early know they’re not supposed to fight them yet?

[livid grove]

I have my current base set on a meadow/ plains island with both types of crop growing directly next to each other

[fossil delta]

Likely by the many deaths they would suffer. Its how we "learned" about what is there now.

[nocturne wolf]

Being strong just means they’re strong enemies, not that the player is expected to come back later.

[livid grove]

They wouldn't run into them until they got to plains area

But yea, same way I know to run from a troll until when I hit it, the health bar moves

[open pecan]

Hugin could tell you.

[livid grove]

I'm talking about things that aren't necessary to progress the game, but do give bonus and such

[fossil delta]

Like I said, I like the idea. I just doubt the devs want to add it to their plate of ideas they are already trying to finish.

[livid grove]

That's true too, if the biome is big enough he could say "some black forests are larger than others. The larger ones are said to contain fell beasts that slay even the most competent warriors"

[open pecan]

And make the monsters perhaps not agro so they aren't keeping you from anything.

[livid grove]

Or only spawn at night/ during the day so you can still enter the biome during the other time

[open pecan]

Ahh yeah like Wraiths.

Does anything ever tell you Wraiths exist?

[livid grove]

The wraith hitting you in the top of the head has always been my indicator

[open pecan]

Or do you just happen to have to go into the worst biome at the worst time?

[livid grove]

When i have 0 stamina left and they catch up

[open pecan]

For real.

[nocturne wolf]

Wraiths are balanced to be fought at the same point in progression as any other swamp enemy

[open pecan]

Fair.

[livid grove]

Yes, but wraiths also spawn in normal swamps. If there was to be a special swamp mob it would need to be a large swamp near the end of swamp-able locations

I also think it's fair that if this were to ever occur it could be a toggle-able option that the player would need to turn on

[near furnace]

🤔

[weary egret]

does bonemass reduce chance i get staggered?

it should right? its based on the dmg i take right?

[nocturne wolf]

You'll receive less less stagger, but damage modifiers are applied after blocking calculations so you won't be able to block stronger attacks.

[weary egret]

ty, that explains it

gonna try parry lord reto again, this time with 3x hp food

[nocturne wolf]

Why not just dodge

[weary egret]

i would dodge if i was wearing light armor

have to defend my honor as heavy armor user

[nocturne wolf]

Even with a level 3 carapace buckler, maximum health and blocking skill you can't parry Lord Reto's attacks every time. Some attacks have higher damage than others and with the weakest you need some luck with damage variance to drop the damage low enough.

You're gambling for your life with every parry 🎰

[weary egret]

Nice

[shy marlin]

🎰 lets gooooooo

[weary egret]

can't wait to see lord reto's shocked face

[nocturne wolf]

He'll be shocked you died so easily

[weary egret]

already happened twice

he looked bored

#1024264966712340510 is the best place here to find other players to join in a game. This Discord chats in English, though you might be able to find magyar-speaking Valheim servers in #1024264966712340510.

[livid zenith]

With a tier 3 carapace buckler, 325 health and ~95 blocking skill you can consistently parry both the thrusts, only need block level 60 for the consistent parry on the feint thrust

Also you can wear root chest or use bonemass for surviving a hit if the parry fails

[wispy plinth]

Best way to farm leviathans?

Do you have to be sailing to find them?

[vocal rivet]

They're in the Ocean, yes.

[raw token]

I've got 2 methods:

First, bring friends and do a countdown 3-2-1-go and mine as fast as possible before it sinks.

Second: I've heard but not yet tried the "log off when the submersion groan/rumble starts and then logging back in" method, apparently that resets the submergance timer and you can get all the barnacles that way.

Finding them tho.....

[wispy plinth]

I meant serpents my bad

[vocal rivet]

Also in the Ocean. Spawn at night and in storms.
