Yeah the Bonemass power is almost necesary

That's how we were able to get a foothold - there were 4 of us so we could have Bonemass protection almost constantly.

is the new update out yet?

Still in ptb, prolly for a few weeks is the general timeline

#

Im stoked, the oden's training stations mod felt a little cheaty, and it was quite hard to use the combat training dummy thing to level blocking

#

Is the ptb available for Xbox?

fossil delta

#

Xbox anyone?

maiden tartan
#

Low-key just use a greyling or a boar to level blocking

vague mantle
#

theoretically could you make a training arena with the new training stations just to train and not need to worry about being raided just to grind skills and have a forge and a crating station just to fix things since you need 3 to trigger a raid

maiden tartan
#

Ngl blocking is probably the most important stat out there

heady parcel
#

Skelly raid is the best blocking training session available. Whenever that triggers I won't kill them until they've almost broken my shield 😄

#

Other than that I don't really bother training, skills do grow as you adventure anyway.

Does anyone have any idea how long ptb usually lasts? Not sure if its a good time to start a new world or wait for patch

near furnace
#

depends on how many bugs is found and such

#

we have minimum of 1 update already being in the works for the PTB

late trench
near furnace
#

I think I would probably start a new playthrough when the PTB is out on the live version and then play up to ashlands or just kill father and then wait for deep north 🤔

I am new to the game started playing in December, but played a lot 800+ hours

Not gonna kill Fader until Deep north update 😂

#

Which chat do I leave a report it? Like tracing, how much the game can handle before getting glitchy and so on

ornate moat
#

well but how long has it taken before

tacit crystal
#

There is no guaranteed timeline for that, it depends how long it takes to fix possible bugs found during testing. Historically smaller content updates have taken few weeks.

ornate moat
#

ok thanks

flat axle
#

Is there a chat for that?

#

Also, is there a way for me to import this world I’ve made in the beta, to a dedicated server?

#

Have a great few buddies who wanna join the village I’ve built

ancient turtle
#

That depends how you host the dedicated server

flat axle
ancient turtle
#

you can always just take them out of your appdata (or copy them from there) zip them up and drop them into your server using a Filebin

#

That's what I did

flat axle
#

I’m not tech savvy, i can get steps to this on the web?

ancient turtle
#

probably, but that's not how I learned it 😄

step 1: go to C:\Users[yourname]\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

#

That's where your world file is, but that's just part of it, you also need to get the structures and items and take them from the worlds folder that's located in the same location

flat axle
#

So the whole folder?

#

And then it’s “zipped” and what else?

ancient turtle
#

Not the whole folder (unless it's the only world you have) but I mean every file in there that has the name matching to the world name.

flat axle
#

On my pc, the beta is the only file

#

I play usually on Xbox

merry pebble
flat axle
#

THANK YOU

ancient turtle
#

Ah if it's just the only file you might as well zip the whole thing up (make sure to zip up a copy and not just remove the files in case you wanna play more solo later.)

Then you can bring them to the appdata folder on your server (it should be the same directory as with your own machine) using a filebin. Or any other means to transport the files from your machine to the server machine.

this game might end up rivaling star citizen for how long it's taking to develop. there's been like 3 or 4 major updates in 4.5 years 😮

vast jolt
#

the 🐻 pretty neat

heady parcel
#

Better it takes the time it needs than they drop broken updates. For an EA title it has a level of polish that is very rare to see, in all honesty. Regulars here can correct me, but I believe we've had five content updates so far, with another one on public testing and the final biome in development.

I prefer the DEVs take their time and do it right. I have seen to many unplayable games riddled with bugs comming out of big game companies. Iron Gate is a small studio, and have delivered (imho) a very very good game. Less hands means longer dev-time, that is absolutely normal.

I have up to now gotten 3500+ h of enjoyment from the money I would spent on a dinner in a good restaurant in our town. And as I am working in IT as well as a developer (not games but still) I know how much work goes into doing things right. I do not want to offend anyone but I get a little frustrated at times when I hear that it takes so long and that it has been years. 🙁 Any one try to do the same in the same timeframe first and then throw stones 😄

hi i'm kinda new to this game

does it have an active community

You are right in the active community right now, and I can tell you, some days I get in here and have 300 new Messages written on the top... it is so active you can not possibly keep up with all of it 😄

grim wagon
#

When is the call to arms update being released?

strong stirrup
#

Lets see how long ptb takes

fossil delta
#

Best guess? 2 to 4 weeks. Even the devs probably don't know at this point.

strong stirrup
#

Yeah

grim wagon
#

Was the 59 weeks a typo

#

Or a joke

strong stirrup
#

Joke

#

But nobody acc knows when its coming

grim wagon

As Ar is saying, nobody knows since it depends on how many issues are found and how hard they are to get rid of 🙂

strong stirrup
#

Yesh

grim wagon
#

Yeah, it looks awesome sauce

merry pebble
grim wagon
#

Yeaj

#

Yeah* new characters, world. We even changed how we were playing the game

merry pebble
#

Then you might start playing on the test version if you want to. Tho it carries a bit of a risk that if devs decide to get rid of something that is in the test now it might break the saves.

Mhm

Id assume the test version isnt on xbox

What about the more recent updates made the experience better for you?

I think in march they tweaked a lot of things in the game and optimized it and it made it run like butter for me, before I used to get lots of micro stutters and performance issues now it runs like a dream even on higher resolution and mods :DD

#

Would it be possible to block the updates for the current world (or totally) until the deep north is out? I'd like to keep the current until I finish the Ashlands

civic wraith
#

Why are devs working on these small updates? Finish deep north and fix the games terrible lag at end game….

vocal rivet
#

Because there's no point releasing Deep North without fixing bugs and balancing first.

#

Also, this is a massive update.

quasi latch
#

They're adjusting combat so that Deep North content isn't built upon game mechanics that don't do it justice

#

They also reduced lag with the update due to engine improvements, including upgrading Unity versions

fossil delta
#

he combat changes are so.. overhailingly big. it's better we get that part correct from the "old players" now, than getting a metric ton of feedback on that part later when the influx of new players are massive and it will basicly drown in information-Smiffe, in General, about 10 minutes ago. Not that I ever believe him anymore, but it sounds like he may be telling the truth on this one.

tiny tiger
tiny tiger
#

But that would mean for the game as a whole not just that one world

quasi latch
fossil delta
#

Yeah, should be at least two weeks more. With Smiffe saying there is a lot to this, probably even longer.

tiny tiger
#

Reddit valheim been complaining about inventory space even more than usual since the PTB lol

#

Which I kind of understand but at the same time, you aren’t meant to be carrying everything for every combat situation at all times

#

Overprepared is the problem

vocal rivet
#

It's pathetic. It's all they care about right now. And it's the one thing that's definitely never, ever going to change.

fossil delta
#

I don't know, Derek, I once believed they would never add magic to the game too.

tiny tiger
#

I could see a case for adding something that is exclusive with the weight limit belt so you have to pick between say 2-8 more slots (somewhere in that range I’m thinking not sure on exact amount) or having the 150 extra capacity

warm sandal
#

I never had a problem with inventory space and I never will I guess. because I do not lug around my whole household and 5 different food and 6 different mead and all the weapons I own. I decide what I want to be doing, prepare what I will need for that and that is that... I do not understand why they are whining so much.

vocal rivet
#

No, let's not do more pandering. Nerfing Mistlands and then Ashlands was bad enough.

fossil delta
#

Maybe they will make the cart easy to haul over crap terrain?

vocal rivet
#

hands you a hoe

tiny tiger
#

You have the power to shape the terrain to benefit the cart

fossil delta
#

Doesn't work worth a crap in the mountains or the Mistlands.

tiny tiger
#

true but the argument that you should be able to lug a cart up a steep mountain also doesn’t sound good

fossil delta
#

Didn't say I like the idea, just throwing a possibility out into the wild.

warm sandal
#

why would you be able to lug a 2ton cart up a steep hill all by your lonesome viking self? you ain't no ant, you are a viking 😄

#

If it is to steep find a nother way, or unload and reload?

tiny tiger
#

Or build the infrastructure to get the cart up a mountain like a huge stone staircase

fossil delta
#

I've been fine with our basic inventory. In fact, I need even less in the Mistlands.

warm sandal
#

the game is about finding solutions for problems, not about making everything easypeasy 😄 It would be no fun if you would not need to think up a plan

tiny tiger
#

mistlands is pretty generous for inventory yeah, Ashland’s on the other hand 😬

#

There’s just soo much stuff

#

But you get stone portals so it balanced out I guess

warm sandal
#

in the ashlands you gotta be selectiv... you do not have to haul 200 fiddleheads and 2 tons of bones 😄 enough is enough... and you can always portal out - drop the stuff on the ground and portal back if you care to be a hoarder (like me)

fossil delta
#

Portals make it to where your inventory is effectively your entire base, so, yeah, I'm fine with how they have it.

#

Now if I went through portals as slowly as my wife does, I'd probably be irritated by it too. 😄

warm sandal
#

Like i was watching a stream the other day and I needed to sit on my hands. The streamer tried out the trinkets and the first thing on watcher said was: "Thank you Iron Gate, another slot occupied, give us more slots already" I do not get that mindset. Try the stuff out first. It is like a default complaint for some now...and I get really annoyed meanwhile by it 😄

#

meh...killed Cultist number 14, 15 and 16 and again not trophy 🙁 this is going to take a while

fossil delta
#

I usually kill a cultist and get a trophy right away, then take forever to see any more of them.

I think the most cultist trophies I have ever had in a play through is 6.

warm sandal

I love all the things in the game that glow and want to hang them on my walls I think the trophies look pretty as decorations 😄

fossil delta
#

In the Mistlands, the only trophy I am having a hard time getting is the soldier trophy. Think we are at 6 on that one this time. We have crazy amounts of the rest. Even Gjall. We are only 1 or 2 away from a full stack of those, and working on a second stack of seekers. Ticks are so numerous we put those in the Obliterator, and only keep one stack of 20.

warm sandal
#

charred bones do make great coal too 😄 they are so abundant - I usually make a lot of coal with those 😄

fossil delta
#

I have yet to play through the Ashlands. We started to about a year ago, but had to stop. We should get through it this time.

#

oh I wonder if with the new update i can finally put the wishbone on an item stand... it w ould look so neat... i never understood why that w as overlooked the key can go on an item stand the wishbone not 😄 well there is hope

fossil delta
#

Very possible, I think. I am not a fan of most items as a trophy. Like I really hate the fish, those are just ugly.

#

I only put them up because I find so many of their lines to be hilarious.

warm sandal
#

In my current run I'm going to kill all them forsaken twice and hang them on my walls ... 😄

It is not all mist...in fact in one of my YT runs I am buillding a base in the Mistlands and I hope it is gonna be fab 😄

I found some mistlands while exploring and saw lots of the enemies while in the water. I decided it was best to be left for after the plains. Now they're just marked for danger.

Definitely best to go to the Mistlands after Yag. Especially if you want some range of vision. We went in enough to get our garden started before we actually beat Yag.

Hello just found out that this game has a discord. Just wanted to say i love this game and cant wait for the next update

Welcome in! Rocky

One update is currently being tested in public test branch actually 😄

distant badger
#

Hell yea

pliant radish

man

#

this game is constantly enticing me back

#

but then I always feel kind of lonely or bored alone

west mica
#

I did my first charred fortress... it was an insane amount of prep, probably too much, spawn blocking in all directions. Might be useful now I'm turning it into my FOB though. Some more weirdness, I actually didnt see any spawners, I lobbed over fireballs with reckless abandon so maybe I got some lucky shots. I dont know if there's a mob that can spawn inside or swoop down there and destroy them, I'm guessing not. Once I did get inside I fought a fallen valkyrie which was attracted by my pickaxe sounds, it destroyed the chest through the wall and I sucked up the loot through the wall also.

distant badger
west mica
#

Yeah lol
Oh I didnt realise the spawner model was different inside, yeah I probably did accidental fireballs of destruction.

#

Staff of embers was useful because it kept knocking them off the ledge lol.

pliant radish
#

Guess I'm going to play the game again just because of this one update lol

#

maybe I'll focus more on building in early game instead

west mica
#

Better to be knocked off than die and just spawn again, was enough to get myself up o nthere.

remote yoke
#

been doing runs where i progression skip and i just beat moder and am going onto the ashlands, is there a good way to kill charred warlocks with this early of gear?

distant badger
#

First time i did it i knocked the door down with the machine(i dont remember its name) popped bonemass and swung like a madman and hoped no other mobs get attracted to me

#

somehow worked out

#

but i remember to this day that my hands were shaking like crazy

#

after i killed all the mobs in the fortress

Ah I sort of wanted to be forced to use the battering ram. I feel like it should have been fully sealed off or had some other thing to stop you going over ha.

#

Just started a new world, and this time I have actually disabled raids, as much as I like them normally this time I don't want to spoil my builds with moats and walls 😄 (To compensate I'm running no-portals and fire hazards). Gonna allow myself stone portals once I get to the warmer climates, don't think that place is very enjoyable without portals...

west mica
#

I've been saying a lot, most raids do very little structural damage, and you can manage the troll ones easily enough.

#

I worry more about random mobs at night damaging stuff.

heady parcel
#

Trolls I normally just run out to fight outside to minimise damage. It's really just the They Were Bros event that can really cause damage, but on the other hand that one can level a pretty solid base to the ground

#

This time I simply felt naaaaah I'll just chill and build pretty gardens

west mica

Oh yeah that was another weird thing that happened today.
So I've spawned proofed the ashlands so much it thinks that I'm in my base and I got a couple of raids, one of which was They Were bros so I started making funeral plans but then a Morgen destroyed them lol.

And I got a bunch of black metal I could teleport home this time.

I yearn for games having a setting to automatically remove HUD from screenshots, to eliminate the need to turn it off/on

dense yew
vocal rivet
#

That's hardly automatic.

remote yoke
#

i think we would realize we would want the hud in some screenshots tho and then want a toggle for hud again

dense yew
#

yeah, but while it exists I can't imagine a game would automate that themselves

#

Also I imagine you could train an AI use photoshop to remove a HUD on its own

#

But that...is so far above and beyond worth it lmao

merry pebble
#

I think much easier would be binding one button somehow to exectute Ctrl+F3 -> take screenshot -> Ctrl+F3 😄

heady parcel
#

Nah, what would be possible is the game having its own screenshot function that would simply bypass the HUD presentation. It's a dream, I don't think anyone is going to bother

merry pebble
#

Basically just imitating presses on keyboard but so fast it would seem near instant

heady parcel
#

Probably, I suck at that kinda stuff though. I usually try to play with hud disabled when possible, but without certain input that can become very awkward in many games. Including Valheim 😅

dense yew
#

You could also just record everything in obs, and just turn the HUD off with f3 and go back to screenshot it in the recording

merry pebble

I'm just happy they included the navigation wheel thingy in Ctrl+F3 now, used to wreck so many screenshots at sea

AutoHotkey is a great program for making macros like that, although it runs scripts so it can be kinda laggy

Yoooo before I spend time troubleshooting - is "crashes when loading the main menu or on character selection" a known bug?

I can probably count on 2 hands the number of times I've had Valheim crash (at least without mods) in the 3300+ hours Steam says I've played it.

So we found two crypts nearby but no more. It yielded enough iron to make 1 longboat and 125 iron remaining. There are totally 5 of us in the play through. What would be wise ways to spend it? I'm thinking of getting stonecutter wheel and any other forge upgrades before dividing the rest to each of us

merry pebble
hazy crag
#

did people try updating the server to the test patch? did it go well?

pliant hatch
#

Upgrade the forge, get all of you an iron pickaxe and use the longboat to find more Swamps.

There's multiple around with multiple sunken crypts in it, meaning you will easily get over 2K of iron and still have a multitude of crypts left.

Iron is required for everything in the rest of the game and 125 isn't even enough for a single player.

With a Longboat and 5 players you're able to transport 690 (18 in the longboat, 1 on each one of you) stacks of iron. And with that you may be able to get all of you the better equipment, all crafting stations upgrades and have some left behind for building.

But eventually you want to have over 1K of iron as it'll be gone like snow for the sun before you know it.

golden granite
#

Wondering if the forge upgrades are worth it though, bec anyway they only become relevant when I have more iron to use

#

and anvil and tool rack would take up a whopping 35 iron in total

pliant hatch
#

Antler pickaxe works well enough to mine iron if you keep a covered workbench near the crypt.
With that, you can easily hop in and out of the crypt to repair.

pliant hatch

#

I see, all of us are running troll armor right now. Maybe a bronze helmet. We do have a good amount of copper and tin so yes, I could make a mace and level up but felt like an iron mace would be a nice upgrade without any extra leveling up

pliant hatch
#

For instance: A tier 5 bronze mace has a maximum dmg output of 53.
A tier 1 iron mace has a maximum damage output of 55.

That's only 2 points of difference, which you will barely notice.

golden granite
#

I used a mace in my last playthrough, but I went sword this time for fun, realized that its basically a must in swamps

#

(so i would have to build make a new mace )

pliant hatch
#

Mace is a kinda must to deal with Bonemass, skellies and blobs; but the other creatures can easily dealt with using a sword.

hazy crag
#

sword is actually imo more important than a mace in the swamp just to get 1/2 hp off of abominations with sneak attacks

#

but yeah,,, you still need bludgeon against bonemass

pliant hatch

Of course, if you got the Stagbreaker or the Iron sledge lager, you can skip the mace.

I wonder if you can make Drakkar and use it to transport a lox?

vocal rivet
#

Well, that's wishful thinking.

#

No, that's now how the game works.

#

No, the world generated with your seed will be the same on every device in the world.

#

It's more than a few, and yes, they do. Same as any other procedurally generated game.

#

You want me to explain how procedural generation works?

#

Says it better than I can.

#

I'm not an expert, I just know basic game coding principles.

#

I do, I just don't have 30 minutes to explain it to you.

#

Why is this that important to you?

#

Ok, to put it very, very simply: Valheim first takes your seed and uses it to work out which bit of the master map to cut out for your world. Then it applies algorithms to determine where biomes appear. Oceans and Mountains are determined by terrain height. Then the same seed number is used in a series of procedures using pseudo random number generators to determine where all POIs are like buildings, physical spawners, runetones and boss altars. Then the world is ready.

#

No, because there'd be millions of files.

#

That would limit the repayability of the game.

#

Because I can play till I die and never get the same world once. 100 worlds would last me a few years.

#

Yes.

heady parcel
#

It makes the computations, but according to the seed

#

So it won't matter if you have a potato machine or a superduper computer, you get the same world. The superduper pc just generates it quicker

#

(And runs the game a lot smoother...)

vocal rivet
#

If you're on single player it'll be on the world select screen.

#

That's a bit tougher. It should be in your server log somewhere. I'm not too hot on dedicated servers.

heady parcel
#

My two ways, probably not the smoothest way but since I couldn't figure out another way, is to either take the server world files and copy to your game folder to join that world as a solo game, then you'll have the seed in the world select screen. The other way would be to upload the world files to the Valheim World Generator website.

Hey, its been a while since I have played Valheim, probably around 10 months. Is dodge rolling easier now? It feels like I have been dodging ||Charred Warrior ||way more than before

topaz niche
#

No, lol, just joined server and added that in the "suggestions" channel

#

outside of modding, which I've never felt like doing to VALHEIM (not being a Bethesda game 🤣 ). An "easier" dodge option hasn't been a thing outside of that.

#

I've been playing VALHEIM since mid-2021 BTW.
It is still, by a HUGE margin, my favorite PvE creative game to this day.

heady parcel
#

Dodge is not difficult, just a bit timing sensitive. Most players seem to advocate rolling into the enemy since that will give you opportunity to hit them directly after. However, that is entirely dependent on timing the roll right, or you get hit. I usually roll sideways or even backwards, since even if I time it wrong the roll takes me out of reach and the attack misses for real, I'm not just saved by the frames. For the longest time I had no idea Valheim even had that temp immunity when dodging...

#

Speaking of fighting hard-hitting enemies of course.

#

Rolling towards the attacks of a troll, fuling zerker or charred warrior feels utterly wrong...

sly hare
#

Rolling towards charred warrior is fun, until it feints attack lol

Well, Gjall are effectively immune to hand held weapons. Unless you manage to land on it, or catch it close to a peak. They are easiest to kill with pierce to their belly.

At least ticks are easy, which is good, with how numerous they can get.

Ticks are kinda treacherous, you don't really take them seriously until that one time you get three on you and stamina is at rock bottom. Can't roll, and ohshit that guy was 2-star...oops.

fossil delta

You can also get a rather large amount of them in dungeons. Outside its not as bad. Worst I have ran into outside is maybe 8. In a dungeon, I have had them coming from 3 directions, so a lot of them. The sledges make them easy, as long as you have the stamina.

No, but the surroundings make a good deal of difference. Unless you're looking to build your main base in Mistlands - and deal with everything that entails - you want to find a place with a good 2-4 roots in a small area along with cultivatable ground and at least somewhat defensible terrain. So, it is worth doing a bit of running along your first mistlands zones to find a decent place to put your shoom and sap farm.

#

Once you've found a place like that you can have a shroom/sap farm producing more than you'll ever need with little or no trouble coming from skittery raiders.

Can't sing this games praises enough tbh. I have nearly 1000 hours in and through all my playthroughs I have yet to finish the plains biome. there is just so much to do and I really have enjoyed all of it even though I've only really experienced half the game at this point. Truly outstanding work

I have double that and also never finished Plains. :D

If the deep north has more mobs which take poison resistance staff of the wild is going to be insane, just the blunt damage against charred is a lot, plus it gains 100% of its base damage per upgrade (and we'll get the final galdr table upgrade there).
Funny how the upgrade makes such a big difference with some items, but e.g. the ripper only increases damage by about 3% per upgrade.

# frail cloud what makes you think that?

||maybe he is actually Odin's champion, and nothing in this realm provides him with any challenge. So Odin sends warriors to (Ulf's) realm, and once they prove themselves worthy, then immortal Ulf appears.||

||just like the matrix, you're not actually the one||

I think it would be interesting if he was a final boss

Could also be odin

#

thanks taco :D

#

|| could be Odin. Cause he's like a being that spawns in your world occasionally and watches you from afar. I haven't seen him but I wouldn't be surprised if he got made into a boss. Could be an interesting segway into a new game similar to valheim with new mechanics and enemies? ||

Spoiler tags are really only for spoilers. None of what you are saying is a spoiler.

dark coyote
#

should at least be hunter raid event, maybe once you beat everything, Ulf can challenge you

Imagine you're just mining something or killing mobs and you get the title

"ULF CHALLENGES YOU TO A DUEL"

he's also probably very much dead

dense yew
#

it's just an example of the type of mirror match up where it works

#

The whole thing doesn't sound particularly challenging to me, it'd be like implying the feature to turn on friendly fire and play pvp is something that ruins valheim

frail cloud
vocal rivet
#

But why is that something we're facing in Valheim? Where does that fit the lore?

frail cloud
#

It would be an optional extra challenge

vocal rivet
#

If you can make it fit, I'd be cool with it.

frail cloud
#

Why wouldn't it fit with lore though

dark coyote
dense yew
#

Why are we fighting the enemies of odin? why are we in valheim in the first place? how does it not fit?

especially if they said nothing about it, and you 100% the game are just doodling around somewhere and then "ULF HAS CHALLENEGED YOU!!" 🤣

I think that would be really rough to deal with

#

A fully stacked out ULF to a character that has gear for mining iron

dark coyote
#

and he can follow you into dungeons

Is there anyway to get iron with out getting killed every time

I feel like hearing whispers in the wind that could lead you to a special altar would be a good way to fight him

Get a good shield that takes heavy hits and use some long range weapons

And take it slow

just spam fire arrows into the abominations or lure them into a good tree so you can whack them with an axe and their aoe wont let them hit you

Im i the only one that thinks eating more than one stamina food late game is a bad idea

warm sandal
#

The way you phrased that question I would say yess you are. There are many folks that swear by SSH - Scales said more than once: Stamina is your best health. 😄 There is nothing wrong wit HHS though. It is just a different playstyle

toxic orchid
#

Hmm I usually go with a dodge or parry heavy playstyle. I just think that later on I often find myself much more limited by how fast I can regen stamina rather than how much I can store up. So 1 stamina food gives me enough.

#

Until the plains or so I always go SSH

#

And as a mage i usually go EES

warm sandal
#

I play a hybrid build with some magic, I usually go HES but I only use the most expensive foods to maximise. And I use the lingering potions if i get into a barrage. You can have all the high health bar if you do not have the stamina to fight the enemies you are cooked too

#

there are some situations where ESS would have been very cool 😄 but well... it all comes down to playstyle

dense yew
#

As it stands in game stamina also affects how well and how constantly you can block/parry, so for me personally I only ever go with EES but when I don't do that I use SSS because I can parry just about everything that comes my way.

#

And the higher level stamina foods give enough health to compensate

warm sandal
#

that depends also on the armor you are wearing. it is not only about the Stamina you got.

#

I feel there is not "bad idea". It depends on different factors what is a bad idea, so more than one Stamina food is not per se a bad idea. But if you maybe are not making use of the S-Key or are not good ad dodging, you might want the ability to tank a hit or two ... there is not ONE perfect way 😄

dense yew
#

Well yeah, but if you're using the higher level stamina food I'd assume you're using the higher level armor

#

Plus throw a couple sweet dodges in and it really helps to have all that stamina

warm sandal
#

I usually go with the the light armor of every biome, I hate the movement penalty and rely on nimbleness - but that means i can not nessecarily parry everything

toxic orchid
#

Ok but my issue is that eating another stamina food doesnt actually let you dodge more often

#

Once you've gotten stuck into combat how fast you regenerate stamina determines how often you can dodge and attack, and eating more stamina food doesnt actually make you regen stamina faster

dense yew
#

more stamina=more dodges before you're empty

toxic orchid
#

Yes but the time it takes to fully refill the stamina bar means that you are going to run out of stored up stamina in combat and then you wont get to fully regenerate it to take advantage of that until the next fight.

dense yew
#

Well you have to dodge till you're somewhat safe enough to refill the stamina bar either through waiting it out or using a potion, and then go back in, if you get surrounded by enough enemies to make that impossible then you may have just bit off more than you can chew

shy marlin
#

You eat more stam food so that you have more burst potential, that’s it

#

Truth is is all you really need is 50 stam

dense yew
#

If you had enough stamina to ALWAYS stay safe from danger the game would be kinda boring

warm sandal
#

s-key is very powerful in this game 😄

dense yew
#

You do also not need to expend too much stamina to get to safety

warm sandal
#

evade the damage and don't us up all your stam by rolling around all the time 😄

dense yew
#

It really is more about learning how the enemies that are giving you the most trouble behave, and how to effectively counter that

#

Which can, admittedly, be frustrating.

warm sandal
#

Also I am not carrying around food. I eat I go out and come back home and eat again .. usually I eat 3 foods any given day and live with the decaying food - S-Key helps alot to evade damage and it saves so much stamina 😄

toxic orchid
#

This whole question was sparked by my friend talking about some of the new trinkets saying that hes always out of stamina when playing as a mage

#

Which seems kinda hard to believe in my opinion
