[thin magnet]

4 stonehenges in one biome and no vegvisir XD

lucky and unlucky

[fossil delta]

Yep, those stonehenges are not something I would call common. Definitely closer to being rare. Even the small single henge stone is closer to rare.

[thin magnet]

yeah checked the wiki and theres only 5 of each type on the world

[fossil delta]

Sounds right, from what I recall of the one world where my wife and I wiped every single fuling village out. We went to every plains biome on that world.

[heady parcel]

Gods, I hate golems when I don't have the armor to fail parry without getting staggered

[fossil delta]

Thats why I block. Its 100% reliable.

[heady parcel]

Yeah, but blocking gets me staggered

[gentle glen]

You need to eat 2 health foods in the mountains

[heady parcel]

Not packing health foods and the puny armor of the bark armor doesn't help

[fossil delta]

If your using a round shield, yeah. I use Tower shields.

Plus, yep, HP foods.

[gentle glen]

It's all health, stagger limit is based on your hp after all

[fossil delta]

It is.

[heady parcel]

Hahaha dangit, I ran to take cover in a frost cave, now he just yeets me back in when I try to exit

[fossil delta]

Give him time. He should lose aggro and go elsewhere.

[heady parcel]

Friendly wolf distracted him so I got the kill punch in, good boy!

[dark coyote]

killsteal

[heady parcel]

Oooh silver out in the open, jackpot !

[fossil delta]

I love it when I find those. Just usually when I do find them, they stick out the side of the Mtn, so look very phallic.

[heady parcel]

Yeah my starting island has this small mountain surface-wise that is absurdly high, and this was near the top so it sticks out the mountainside saying hello

[fossil delta]

Nice to find silver without the wishbone. Eventually I got good at guessing where they are located.

[warm basalt]

my home base is at my mouse key

https://imgur.com/a/k2rOQuV

well shit its gone now but im prettty much middle of the map, idk where to move to. im bronze age just killed elder

heared i kinda wanna be close to a bunch of biomes

[heady parcel]

I would never have looked here, thought the mountain was too narrow

Not even near bonking Bonemass yet, so this was an unexpected boon

[gentle glen]

go to one of the big swamps, probably that one connected to the meaddow andd black forest

[warm basalt]

swamp is the brown shit right

[foggy glacier]

yep

[warm basalt]

https://imgur.com/a/bpCttRn

[fossil delta]

Be very careful. Swamps are the deadliest biome yet.

[warm basalt]

this spot? seems close to them all biggest swamp i saw

[gentle glen]

yeah that's a good one

try to avoid the plains

[warm basalt]

thats the yelllow im guessing on map

looks like sand

[gentle glen]

yeah the beige

[fossil delta]

Thats going to be a rather whimpy swamp, crypt wise, but it should have what you need.

[gentle glen]

you'll know it once you accidentally step in it

[gentle glen]

you dunno till you're in it from what I've seen

[warm basalt]

thank you cosmics im day 2 but loving it, bought on release played 5mins but the updates holy the updates man

[fossil delta]

The game announces when you enter new biomes, so its rather obvious the first time.

[warm basalt]

https://imgur.com/a/QaIvL6p

gonna make my main base on that island on the coords in pic

close to everything by boat , safe green zone

[fossil delta]

We are still getting updates, but the game is far more stable now, than compared to the first few weeks, and even months.

[gentle glen]

yeah it's a pretty friggin good game

there are some pretty good mountains around there too

[warm basalt]

1st boatyyyyyyyyy goin down

[heady parcel]

My story is a bit weird, bought it on release, played some hours until I strayed into a dark forest and some blue guy chased me into a tower and then knocked it down on top of me and proceeded to roflstomp my stunned arse. Got scared and logged off, and then my other gaming addiction lured me back and I never started it again until Mistlands had been out a good while. My loss, goddam...

[fossil delta]

That long one should have a good amount of silver. Great chance of seeds too.

[warm basalt]

talkin about my muontain?

[gentle glen]

yeah

[fossil delta]

In some ways that is better than being here since the beginning. You have all the new stuff they added since then.

[warm basalt]

yeah thats im hella excited to come back

when i last played we only had deer boss

[fossil delta]

We had all the way through plains back then, but I mean the new monsters, mats, build materials, etc...

[gentle glen]

I didn't properly play until the hildir update

[fossil delta]

Thats relatively recent. 2023. I think.

[gentle glen]

I canny remember

[fossil delta]

I'm guessing too. 😄

[gentle glen]

I was playing with friends and we got all the way to just before plains and gave up and lost the save

[tacit crystal]

August 2023.

[gentle glen]

then I came back and b at the game fully after bog witch

solo

[heady parcel]

Yeah Hildir was the in-between little content morsel between Mistlands and Ashlands

[warm basalt]

https://imgur.com/a/GlENXL3

first 24 , on my way to my new spot

[gentle glen]

hmm maybe my group playthrough was before hildir

[fossil delta]

I've done a fair amount of solo. Mostly due to my zero death runs. Mostly attempts, of course. Only a handful of what I considered successes at the time. Like getting through Yag, or only up to the Queen, then getting slaughtered by her.

[gentle glen]

not a fan of the queen fight tbh

[warm basalt]

can u fish? i see loads in the water xd

[gentle glen]

yeah you can

there's a trader in black forests

[fossil delta]

Yes, you can fish, once you find the right vendor.

[warm basalt]

whats reward money or ?

[heady parcel]

My last no-death run ended like most of my deaths occur. Forgetting to eat and building high towers

Ignoble end

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I do not do high builds during zero death runs, or climb up Guck trees, things like that.

[gentle glen]

I didn't die for a while in my current game then I got stun locked by a wolf </3

[warm basalt]

shit im in the ocean this shit creazy

[heady parcel]

Oof

[gentle glen]

there's money in the game

[fossil delta]

I've even had them ended by smoke from my cooking. And trees falling on me.

[gentle glen]

but also you can sell treasure to merchants

[warm basalt]

atleast they gave em a use thats cool

[tacit crystal]

Odin frowns upon you.

[heady parcel]

Yeah it's a very un-viking way to go

[fossil delta]

One ended very early on because I accidentally aggroed a bunch of boars. I think that is the only time I have been killed by a boar, let alone a group of them.

[warm basalt]

wish chat had a global chat

[heady parcel]

I believe you can yell

[tacit crystal]

Ingame chat? Put /s before the text.

[foggy glacier]

it also pings your location though.

[warm basalt]

ye i meant more towards other peoples servers

say whats up what they up to yoiu know

[heady parcel]

I went up the mountain looking for onions, came down with silver, obsidian, a bagful of fenris fur etc etc, but no damn onion seeds. Two mountains, not a single little ruined cabin...

Ah well

[warm basalt]

nodded off driving my boat, woke up in the water, thank god boat was there

[fossil delta]

Tower chests can have them too, if the tower even has a chest.

Same with chests in the wells.

[heady parcel]

No towers either. Wrong layout to these mountains I think, one wide but low, the other very small but tall a f, found silver there but no buildings whatsoever. But two frost caves. 🙂

[fossil delta]

Sounds weird. I usually find a mix on larger mountains. Only run into similar limitations when the mtn is small.

[heady parcel]

Might be that they're too close to spawn? I'm still on spawn island after all

[fossil delta]

Maybe. I do tend to have the small mountains on my spawn "island", but do find them throughout my worlds.

So its probably just world generation RNG.

[heady parcel]

Yeah usually is

It's why I enjoy doing this all over again. Again and again haha

Not one world is the same 🙂

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have probably played on around 30 worlds by now. Maybe more. I only have 19 of my own saves.

[gentle glen]

it would be nice if there were some world gen options, like larger islands

[fossil delta]

I like how it is, each world is its own "adventure", because of how much they can vary. So different challenges for getting your mats, getting them back to base in the case of ores, etc...

[gentle glen]

I find I always end up setting my base on an in land lake

by accident and don't realise

[heady parcel]

Noooo

Stumbled on a two star pig, kited it all the way back to base but then it got spooked by something (torches?) and ran off just when I was going to get it inside. Dangit!

[fossil delta]

I don't mind that as long as they have a nice amount of fish!

[fossil delta]

Yep, probably camp fires. I don't recall if torches are enough to scare them.

[heady parcel]

Extra plus if they're large enough to have Ocean biome in the middle

Camp fires are all indoors 😕

[fossil delta]

Won't matter. If they get the warmth effect, its been enough to scare mine.

[heady parcel]

Ugh

[fossil delta]

So just to be certain, I tame mine away from all fire sources.

I think they made them stop freaking out from fires once they are tamed. They used to scare even after being tamed.

[heady parcel]

Wasn't planning on taming one, but a random two-star was a good opportunity. Ugh, hope I can find it again

[fossil delta]

It will be in the same area. A rather large area is possible, but they will be "there".

[crisp harness]

Typed devcommands in the console and hit enter and when hitting ENTER the game acts like it doesn't work. Because it doesn't confirm the text

so the text just sits there

[fossil delta]

Did you put the needed command into Steam?

IE to enable dev commands?

[foggy glacier]

If you found it near a runestone, it'll go straight back there. If it's just a random spawn, Robert is correct, it'll be 'around.'

[heady parcel]

Nah it was out in the woods

[fossil delta]

They can still wander a good bit from the stones too.

[crisp harness]

well I told you I typed DEVCOMMANDS into console, so that tells you the console is activated yes

[pliant hatch]

Did you follow these steps? https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[crisp harness]

yes

Like I said the first time. The console opens, the commands just don't register when hitting ENTER

[pliant hatch]

Could you open the console, type [debugmode] (without the brackets), hit [enter], then close the console, hit the [B] key, move to a workbench and check if you see any repices in there which you usually don't see?

[merry pebble]

Are you on a server?

[crisp harness]

It doesn't work since, like I said ... the ENTER key doesn't push the command through... the text just sits there

[crisp harness]

yes, on a locally hosted one

[pliant hatch]

Hosted by you?

[crisp harness]

Yes

[pliant hatch]

One thing I can think of is to leave the game completely, then restart is and give it another try.

[crisp harness]

I fixed it. Moved all my mods into a backup folder, logged into singleplayer and flew all the way back to my base. Then turned my mods back on

My PC hard shut off ( I don't know why ) so when I came back I was in a completely random part of the map. IDK WHY

[pliant hatch]

sigh

So it was a mod problem, not a problem with the game.

Would've been nice if you'd told us that as well, as we might have been able to direct you to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[crisp harness]

well I didn't know it was a mod issue now did I ?

it was just a troubleshooting step on my list

[heady parcel]

Weird issues nobody else has usually are mod issues. I don't use mods for Valheim, but in other games my troubleshooting always starts with disabling mods one by one. Mods in any game have a weird tendency to mess stuff up that has absolutely nothing to do with what they actually do...

[rain igloo]

fi your in a differnt part its cause there world did not save your LOC or you di not save before logging

i dont think i have ever had issue with mods and i host a modded server for me and friends lol

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I am a fan of mods, even bought a life time membership to Nexus, but I have yet to mod Valheim. I've been on servers where they modded it. Which shocks me when I think about it. I usually mod a game once I finish its quest lines. Of course, technically Valheim isn't even a finished game, so that is part of why I have yet to use mods. So while some mods appeal to me, it has not been enough to get me to use any as of yet.

[thin magnet]

i just went to mistlands and ive now realised that stamina food should give extra stamina regen

its just such a pain in the ass

[wicked quarry]

I like to play a game through as intended first. Then if I like the game enough to stick around, I’ll mod QOL things.

[heady parcel]

Yeah. Only with Valheim I have legit not found anything I really feel needs modding. What I do want to look into once it is at 1.0 is finding something to increase render distance a bit, with bigger builds it is limiting and the fact my light houses can barely be seen from the sea before I'm almost on top of them has always felt a bit meh...

BUT, all of this is best discussed under #mods-discussion

On another note, building ten beehives was maybe a bit exaggerated, can't use honey at the rate I'm producing it...

[foggy glacier]

keep building them, you'll need them eventually. They cap out production at 4 honey so just leave them until you need more.

[gentle glen]

buildd one on every wall of your house

[foggy glacier]

I put them on the roof of my boar farm.

[heady parcel]

I put them on trees, five on each tree trunk, minimum use of space and always happy bees!

[devout kestrel]

oh i just have enough space to place a 1m wood pole and a beehive on top of it

[gentle glen]

they should make beehives make crops grow faster

[high whale]

Should I start a new map for the PTB? If so, what settings should I use?

[heady parcel]

If you like, and whatever you like

Stupid answer, but really it is all down to personal preference. You can play that update on an old world or you can play it as a fresh game, neither is wrong, and whatever setting you go for is entirely up to you. If unsure just go with vanilla, is my pro tip...

[high whale]

Thank you

[heady parcel]

Personally, I'll just wait for it to go live, but I do understand the craving for New Stuff...

[rain igloo]

if u want stuff u can come and join us tonight for our new season? it my self and like 3-8 others on our modded server

[high whale]

A modded server? Can someone who is on Xbox join that server?

[rain igloo]

never opened it to crossplay lol never thought to lol

[high whale]

Okay.

[crisp harness]

I f-ing hate meta/glitch chasers.... when I said I was about to die due to DOT dude literally said " QUICKLY LOG OUT, LOG OUT, LOG OUT " 🤦‍♂️

[merry pebble]

Well, it would save you, there is not much you can do about DoT, especially poison, for fire you could jump into water 🙂

[heady parcel]

A health mead might out-heal the damage, but if they're on cooldown yeah - about to do a death walk

[wicked quarry]

Its been a whiile and Ive forgotten. Is there a way to turn your farmed goods into more seeds? Like I grow a carrot, can I turn that carrot into more seeds?

[gentle glen]

you can plant carrots to grow seeds

[heady parcel]

plant a carrot for a seed-carrot = three seeds

Same with turnips

[gentle glen]

same wtih all farmables with seeds

[heady parcel]

Barley and flax are 2 for 1 iIrc

[crisp harness]

Yeah totally fun playing games by glitching things out. Not my style. I prefer to just play the game.

[wicked quarry]

How do you turn the carrot into seeds?

[heady parcel]

Plant a seed carrot

[wicked quarry]

wait, you actually plant the carrot itself. lol ok

[foggy glacier]

when you use your cultivator with a carrot in your inventory, it'll give you an option to plant a seed-carrot.

[warm basalt]

@raven harness yo my mic dont work , rn can i just chill. have something to listen to while i play for my 2nd day

[delicate edge]

Hello, I'm looking for people who speak Spanish and want to start a new game.

[pliant hatch]

If you take a look in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 you may find them.

Just make sure you also post the timezone you're in, to prevent getting someone from a complete different one.

And make sure if you post there you still use English as main language.

[delicate edge]

Thx

[rancid echo]

ok but actually why do raspberries make your sword skill appear

[merry pebble]

Huh?

[rancid echo]

when you create a new character running will make the run skill appear jumping will make the jump skill appear

and picking up a raspberry or sometimes eating it makes your sword skill appear

it's really hard when you try to get your skills properly organized you have to skip picking berries or crafting an axe

[rain igloo]

whats am i missing here lol

[azure yacht]

what

[rancid echo]

try it yourself, create a new character, you will have no skills in your skills menu

When you eat a raspberry the sword skill will appear

which sucks if you want to organize your skills in a reasonable order

[onyx barn]

forbidden esoteric knowledge

[fossil delta]

Funny, since it should make your farming skill appear. Or the mushrooms.

[rancid echo]

Yes, the farming skill appears when you pick one. Sometimes both farming and swords. But eating one screws the skills every single time. I really wish there was a way (or mod) to reorder them

[rain igloo]

is this from the PTR ? or normal

[fossil delta]

I think they order themselves. At least eventually. I don't track them as closely as you appear to.

[rancid echo]

since launch

[rancid echo]

they never do :(

[onyx barn]

I always assumed they were alphabetical

[rain igloo]

i mean if its not braking anything no worries 😛

[rancid echo]

only my heart :(

also equiping an arrow makes the bow skill appear

[fossil delta]

They are not alphabetical. Like skills at zero are listed last. Skills with scores do look to be alphabetical.

[rancid echo]

which is GREAT! for my tastes I run around finding a flinthead arrow before picking up anything or eating or opening the menu to order everything beautifully

[rain igloo]

you would think by now ou cansort your sKills by level ot by A-Z

[azure yacht]

it's based on use except eating a raspberry which makes sword skill appear

[rancid echo]

I'll terrorize politely ask smiffe tommorow if there is going to be a way to reorder them in the future 🥺

[azure yacht]

i don't see the point of doing that

[fossil delta]

Politeness does work best with Smiffe. I doubt he would even know, though. He'd probably have to ask.

[azure yacht]

even if smiffe got an answer why would he say something not already publicly said?

[fossil delta]

Point. Plus he has lied to me a few times over the years. I'm glad he did, but still, he was wrong.

[azure yacht]

that's why i asked: What's the point of asking a dev if a specific feature (that they probably never even thought in the first place) will be implemented?

you will never get a proper answer so idk why bother

[fossil delta]

Yeah, apparently they don't like to tell us anything until they make official announcements.

Which is fine with me, since I've learned to not trust anything Smiffe says about the future of Valheim.

[rancid echo]

I get it sometimes devs do say that something will happen but they get busy

[trail pelican]

Smiffe may be the avatar of Loki

[rancid echo]

Dvoid said he will add romanian diacritics to the fonts

[dark coyote]

#smiffed

[rancid echo]

in 2018.

[slow leaf]

More likely to get the devs to lie to you here with straight questions than get any answers

[onyx barn]

I never liked when devs tease their playerbase like that, especially when the game is in early access - that's arguably the time when you should be most transparent and candid with your players

[fossil delta]

Like I said, I've been glad he lied to me. I got my Dvergr doors, the bear dream is coming true, etc... so I am glad he lied, or was just wrong.

[dark coyote]

yeah but if you had to deal with the same question that you cant answer for years you would act the same

[rancid echo]

Did lumah delete his account wtf

On twitter i mean

[merry pebble]

Seems the site is down

[rancid echo]

ohhhh i only use it to check what lumah has posted

[onyx barn]

What was the question?

[trail pelican]

even devs can change their minds as well

[near furnace]

he did?

[dark coyote]

anything: "whens update?", "when is X?", "can we have Y?"

[merry pebble]

Nah, just twitter is down

[near furnace]

yup

[fathom gulch]

Do any trees grow back fully on their own or do only saplings grow back? And does leaving stumps behind contribute to this?

[nocturne wolf]

You need to plant seeds for new trees, they won't grow back any other way

[merry pebble]

You have to plant them for them to grow back 🙂

[dark coyote]

stumps should turn into those green stumps

[fathom gulch]

Green stumps?

[slow leaf]

https://www.pcgamesn.com/valheim/battle-royale-mode

Smiffe is this true, Valheim was going to be a battle royale?

[onyx barn]

Okay, well each type of question requires a different strategy. Some questions are just people getting antsy for new content, while others are suggestions in disguise. As a community manager you have to keep your finger on the pulse of the community while also acting as a liaison between the development team and the community. If it were my job I would be making notes of prominent questions and community sentiment and regularly communicating those with the team, both to inform direction of development and to become informed of development efforts. I would return to the community with a list of answers (honestly probably a lot of "we're not sure yet"s but maybe a couple of "it's being considered"s and maybe a rough estimated timeframe for the next content drop). I'd answer those enough times that members of the community begin repeating those answers so I don't have to, then repeat the process the next month. Maybe I'd have a pinned message somewhere in the Discord server that I regularly keep up-to-date with the latest updates to the most common questions, that way well-read community members can tell people to check the pins.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it would magically be an easy job, but that's how I would do it.

[near furnace]

twitter back up again

[winter tartan]

hi everyone

[dark coyote]

I disagree

[onyx barn]

About what? What the job of a community manager is or what I would do specifically?

Because you said I would do the same and I was just telling you I wouldn't.

[dark coyote]

well you say that now, but give it years of dealing with the same generic questions. Also you kind of are agreeing in that you intend to expedite the process of directing questioners elsewhere, so as not to deal with it.

[plush umbra]

-# i've been here for 5 years and the main thing i'm annoyed by is how regulars respond to people's questions with snark and sarcasm as if the world is a hivemind that should learn to not ask [thing] once 3 or so people have been given an answer

wait no not 5, 4, still

[onyx barn]

It's possible but only speculative.
There's nothing wrong with being smart about the effort you spend doing something, especially if it frees you up to put more effort elsewhere.

[dark coyote]

prolly a roadmap somewhere right?

when roadmap?

[onyx barn]

Yeah, that is unfortunate and I've noticed it too. But I understand why when there are/were pins that existed that gave answers to those questions. I always try to get in the habit of reading as much as possible before I ask an uninformed question, and it's sometimes annoying to see those who don't.

[plush umbra]

(i'm agreeing with you wholeheartedly for the record, in case my phrasing left that unclear, i'm not good with words 😅)

[shy marlin]

🤙 yag dead in 12 sec

Black magic was found

[onyx barn]

Nice

[vagrant bison]

Does elemental magic gain XP per target hit? I've never really cared to check before but PTB stuff has me wondering.

[steel mica]

I shall strip this shockingly large plains biome from its resources

[tacit crystal]

This might help: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_magic_(Skill)

[dark coyote]

should have had centaurs in the plains

[vagrant bison]

Yeah I was looking at that. It says per hit but I think its capped at 1 hit per cast.

[steel mica]

I like bases in valheim

each one is unique

[languid snow]

hey do boats float away or do i not gotta worry about it

[pliant hatch]

You don't have to worry about it.
The moment you disembark the boat stops.

[vagrant bison]

When no players are on them it's like an anchor drops. All momentum stops immediately even if going full speed.

[languid snow]

good i was worried i would have to use wood to hold the boats

[pliant hatch]

That would've damage the boat until it breaks.
And with no workbench near it, the materials would disappear over time, making you wonder if it had drifted away.

[languid snow]

also i accidentally dropped iron bars and they fell into the water like below where the player can swim what do i do

[onyx barn]

Don't put them too close to a dock or in too shallow water or the next time it storms the boat will get smashed into it

[onyx barn]

How deep

(Use log poles to measure)

[languid snow]

4 meters under the water surface

so about 2 poles down

[onyx barn]

There's two ways. You can build a really high diving board and try to get then that way

Or you can build an underwater ramp using roof pieces that you can use to swim down to them

[languid snow]

like go under the roof so it brings your character farther down to the ocean's surface to grab them all?

[pliant hatch]

There's a third way if you don't mind using Devcommands.
Activate that in the console then debug mode, close the console, press [z] to activate flying and [ctrl] to go down. While your character doen't go down much, the camera will move down, making it possible for you to (auto) pick up what you dropped.

[onyx barn]

Yup

[languid snow]

ngl i wish you can use the abyssal harpoon to grab the items and pull them up

[onyx barn]

Would be handy I agree.
Or just the ability to dive down in a spot. Maybe one day with the Ocean update 😔

[languid snow]

ODIN GIVE ME MAGNETS AND MY LIFE WILL BE YOURS

managed to get all my iron back

[fossil delta]

At least you weren't hurled out into a magma pool and had to spend an hour figuring out how to get to your tombstone.

[languid snow]

yea honestly there should be more ways to just pull things other then the harpoon either out of water or away from magma pools

[fossil delta]

There are these bombs, that I had tons of mats for, that would have worked. I just didn't know they were for walking over magma pools. They were "bombs".

[hot fern]

@rustic timber yo

[languid snow]

ik those and honestly thats why ima try to stay out of ashlands as much as possible

[fossil delta]

I am not a fan of Ashlands. Definitely my least liked biome, and "like" is an overly strong word for the Ashlands.

[languid snow]

swamp is still the worst biome imo

[fossil delta]

I'll take a swamp over the ashlands any day.

[tardy crypt]

I cant tell you how many times I've taken a portal over, looked around, and went back to build new house.... need Fader to "complete" for now, but uuugggghhhhhh

[languid snow]

i mean honestly as long as your good at parrying and RUNNING ashlands isnt that bad

cus atleast with ashlands you can see enemies in the distance unlike swamp where its just like oh heres a abomination now have fun dummy

[fossil delta]

I just hate the biome. Nothing nice about it. I can even like parts of a swamp, especially with guck trees.

[languid snow]

the biome isnt bad its the enemies that annoy me

[fossil delta]

Well, I am no fan of the Morgen (sp?) or the fallen valkyries.

[light moat]

Bummer, sorry you didn’t enjoy it 🙁

[languid snow]

its those like bigass bone enemies

thats what is annoying

[fossil delta]

Yeah, only thing I am enjoying is the challenge of it. Its simply an ugly biome with too much fighting. Yeah, I know its war, and war is hell and all, but yeah, not a fan.

[languid snow]

like black forest, trolls can be seen and avoided and theres only 1 in a area, swmap abominations can spawn away from you, mountains crystal golems are slow, but those bone things are like bayblades with a chainsaw they are fast from what i experianced

mistlands are honestly not that bad

[fossil delta]

Mistlands grew on me, plus it has beautiful views. Just the pure ugliness of Ashlands is a big no for me.

[languid snow]

honestly all you really need is like some 2 star wolves and your golden

lox's and wolves are great in mistlands just send them out and they will sadly get lost but while there lost they attack every single bug

[light moat]

I have my fair share of gripes with Ashlands, but I mostly enjoyed it myself. Hmm my least favorite biome is maybe Mistlands. But it’s hard to say, I enjoy every biome honestly

[languid snow]

1 the tarrain is a fair point it can get annoying at some parts, 2 its litterally called the mist lands of course visibility will be bad, and 3 gjall arnt really hard to deal with just hide behind cover and bow them down

if visibilty was good there would be no point of yagulaths drops

[slow leaf]

Ashlands is boring as hell, the stone portal was a mistake.

[fossil delta]

I was tired of burning fire lands before I even went into Ashlands. Its a far too over done trope among too many games. Plus its just ugly.

[languid snow]

frankly its litterally called the mist lands kinda seems like your complaining about the dark forest having too many trees

[slow leaf]

Yes, that would make the biome challenging

[languid snow]

thats the challange of mistlands your not ment to see anything so you cant expect anything

[fossil delta]

The terrain in Mistlands was no problem for me, between a high jump and run and the meads for prolonged stamina and better Jumping, I pretty much flew up and down those... mountains? Spires? Whatever the proper geological name for them is.

[light moat]

Ahhh I guess that’s where we’re different! I love fire levels in video games, so naturally I was super excited for Ashlands

[languid snow]

mountains affect gameplay you have to constantly deal with the cold untill you get wolf coats

[slow leaf]

Yes, its the easiest biome since meadows

[languid snow]

boy i was so excited for the battering rams i even in my old world killed a castle and killed everything and took it over

honestly the game is hard you gotta deal with learning to manage the mist the best you can do is make the mistwalker sword grab abunch of torches and just begin spamming them everywhere

[fossil delta]

The wolf cloak and the breast piece for the silver armor protect you from frost/freezing. So does the Lox cape/cloak.

[languid snow]

doesnt the feather cloak also protect from frost

[fossil delta]

I think so, but weak to fire too.

[light moat]

Lots of ways to prevent cold weather 🤔

[languid snow]

true but unless your in ashlands that doesnt really affect anything and stopping fall damage completely and slowing your fall is a godsend

[fossil delta]

Well, its a bad idea to wear it into frost caves, with their fire cultists, but yeah, Ashlands is a bad idea too.

[hot fern]

the fire mead overrides the weakness from the cloak

[fossil delta]

It does, but with the higher gear, take the cloak off and the fire cultists in the frost caves go down fast enough you don't have to worry about the fire damage.

Keep the cloak on and run into 4, 5 or 6 cultists, you might be in trouble. Without a fire wine.

[languid snow]

ngl mistlands+ cloak was the best yoou can just YIPPIIEE off the massive spikes

[gentle glen]

pretty sure every cape except Leather, Troll, and Linen protect from frost

[fossil delta]

Once I get that feathered cloak, I love running around the Mistlands. It is a pain before then. Even with a high run and jump skill, and those meads. But once you can go up and down easily, its fun.

[languid snow]

i think metal to i think that doesnt porotect from frost

[hot fern]

metal?

[gentle glen]

metal?

[languid snow]

isnnt there a flamemetal cape

[gentle glen]

the ashen cape

[hot fern]

it does protect from frost

[fossil delta]

The run with the wind cape?

[gentle glen]

askvin cape

that one protects from frost too

[languid snow]

odin cape doesnt

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that protects from frost? Thats stupid.

[gentle glen]

It's standard for mid-late game capes

[fossil delta]

You only get that if you were in Beta anyways.

[languid snow]

odin cape doesnt protect from frost but honestly the only time iv seen it is when i stole it from some guys server

[gentle glen]

You can't use it though

[languid snow]

ik that

didnt stop me from taking it

[gentle glen]

so no point considering it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you have to have the right codes to even wear it, or the hat.

[languid snow]

ik i didnt wear it i displayed it in my old world on a armorstand or whatever its called

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you can do that.

[languid snow]

so i just stole someones odin set and displayed it in my old world

[fossil delta]

I know because a friend o f mine got hold of a set, and put it on a stand in his temple to Odin. I don't know how he got it, I don't ask such questions.

[daring sandal]

Dude, a greyling just spawned inside my house, inside the radius of multiple crafting benches and in an area that has no doors, so it didnt just wander in, how does that happen and how can I stop it?

[fossil delta]

IF your covered like you say, it should not have happened.

[languid snow]

there gotta be a gap then

[fossil delta]

A gap is what I'd search for.

[daring sandal]

there are 3 crafting benches, one in this house, one in the house next door to the left and one in the house to the right

and from the center crafting bench this entire house is inside its radius

its not a large house

[languid snow]

welp yall have fun ima go in random worlds and see what i can steal from people

if i find another odin set ill tell yall

ill auction it off if i find one

[shy marlin]

I'm convinced irongate hates me

4 fortresses, 8 fragments total

Smiffe cursed me, I know it, but I just can't prove it

[fossil delta]

It definitely sounds like it should not have spawned. Years ago I heard of this happening, and they needed to rebuild their benches to make it protect them again. So maybe thats the issue, instead of a gap.

[dim crane]

could anyone tell me where I can find red jute? Working on a base but I can't remember where I got some earlier on (like 30 hours ago)

[fossil delta]

Frost caves, I think.

[dim crane]

k thanks. I'll check there

[daring sandal]

and rarely, it feels very rare sometimes

[fossil delta]

You just have to be sure to knock down all their curtains.

Or whatever the game calls them. Curtains to me.

[daring sandal]

It feels entirely too rare for an item I want to go on a decorating spree with

[dim crane]

yeah, I have like 287 hours on this game and I don't know where to find red jute

[fossil delta]

the hanging stuff in the frost caves. You gotta shoot them down, use a sledge, etc...

[daring sandal]

It could be because last time I remember playing it was the winter season and I think some of the winter seasonals need red jute

[fossil delta]

A sledge is the easiest way to get them down, imo.

Plus you can get iron bars from their doors, occasionally, and bronze bars from their standing braziers. Again, occasionally. Probably other stuff I am forgetting.

[dim crane]

Thanks to my need for red jute I just got my second ever stone golem kill. Not as hard with the staff of embers as it was with the pickaxe

[daring sandal]

Which is amazing, and annoying because those places are often HUGE so you'll be making many many trips in and out trying to haul all the things

[feral horizon]

Is the Greydwarf face supposed to resemble Sachiel and some of the other angels from Evangelion?

[tawdry otter]

does anyone have a couple 2 star asksvin eggs to spare? i'm too tired of trying to get these guys to spawn for taming

[fossil delta]

You used the pick axe? Don't you have to be on top of a golem for that to even be effective? I used the iron mace.

[dim crane]

yeah, it was back when I first entered the mountains. Heard somewhere that that was an effective way to kill it, so i did it

[fossil delta]

I heard that too, but that you also had to be on top of it, or hit it before it came out of the ground.

[dim crane]

yeah, but it's pretty easy. Just find a tall rock and drop on its head when it gets close

[fossil delta]

Huh. I just use my iron tower shield and iron mace.

[dim crane]

I use bucklers

[fossil delta]

When I am first going into the mountains. Much easier ways to kill them now.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I don't parry. Too unreliable for zero death runs, so I stick to blocking.

[hot fern]

@digital saddle You around?

[languid snow]

im in someoone server

hehehehehehe

[azure yacht]

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

[tawdry otter]

i'm not interested in spawning them in, thanks

[onyx barn]

Huge? I always found most of the dungeons in Valheim (including Frost Caves) rather small.
Every time I reach the end of the final branch I'm like "Aww that's it?"
Like okay, Frost Caves and Infested Mines certainly have areas that are spacious, but they aren't really that sprawling kind of huge to me.

[azure yacht]

it's no different from asking for them. Just spare the time

[daring sandal]

Really? Ive certainly had some small ones, but I've had ones that I spent many hours in and had many branches and more deeper and deeper layers taking a very long time to get through

[onyx barn]

Maybe I've just gotten really unlucky then... 😔

[gentle glen]

You'd rather just have someone give them to you?

[onyx barn]

The first frost cave I ever found I spent maybe an hour in because it was new and unfamiliar.
Each one after that to make my Fenris set I was in and out in 30 minutes or less with all the loot

[gentle glen]

I could give you them bro but I'll let you know I spawned them in using the console

[gentle glen]

I mean I'd rather not spend more than 30 mins in a Dungeon

[blissful ibex]

what do with beehive? i just place outside?

[hot fern]

yes, it produces honey

[blissful ibex]

ahhh it says it's empty

[hot fern]

the placement matters, some trial and error may be required

yeah, gotta wait

[blissful ibex]

might be cuz it's raining

[hot fern]

nah

it takes time to produce each honey up to a max of 4 per hive

[blissful ibex]

is honey good for anything? besides lots of stamina?

[languid snow]

yea got killed and kicked from the server and i was just about to leave with a odin set

[hot fern]

crafting food and meads

[blissful ibex]

ah idk what meads are. and cant craft food where I'm at

[hot fern]

you will need honey for later

beehives good ❤️

[gentle glen]

You'll get there in good time

[onyx barn]

as a child i yearned for the mines

[blissful ibex]

can any big rocks give flint when u mine em with the pick? or am I limited to scourging for them near rivers

[onyx barn]

mainly rivers and shores in the meadows
The first base I ever built was a longhouse on the shore, ended up raising a lot of the nearby terrain that was in the water and flint kept spawning on that new ground, unending flint

[strange moat]

theres no way i actually found a game like this

[onyx barn]

Valheim? yeah, it's pretty cool.
What's your favorite part about it?

[strange moat]

i didnt even buy it yet but i saw some vids and it looks amazing

i love that dark fantasy vibe

[fossil delta]

It might still be on sale on I think Fanatical? For less than $10, if your in the US. Or was it Epic?

[strange moat]

just checked, its not there although i found a steam account on g2a with it for very cheap also

[onyx barn]

Eh I wouldn't trust g2a

[fossil delta]

It goes on sale semi frequently some where.

[strange moat]

why not trust g2a? ive bought from there atleast like 5 times never got scammed

i also bought an account with another game already i still have it nobody was on there

[tardy lance]

is finding silver with the stagbreaker patched?

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure hammers still work.

[onyx barn]

you roll the dice every time. seems like you've gotten a lucky streak

[tardy lance]

alr

[strange moat]

is it really not that trusted? a famous footballer from my country was even on their add a couple months back, Lewandowski.

if i get scammed its my fault ig

[fossil delta]

I think I bought a few Stellaris DLC from them a few years back. Seemed sketchy, but they all worked. Still work. Steam accepted the codes.

[chrome badge]

I've bought over 10 games from G2A, 0 issues.

[strange moat]

yea seemed sketchy to me at first too

[blissful ibex]

ngl it's already getting on my nerves again

[strange moat]

?

u mean the game or me

[blissful ibex]

the game.

[strange moat]

oh lmao

[winter heath]

Just saw it rain blowfish for the first time. Was very confused what I was looking at

[blissful ibex]

just janky mechanics and bad game design getting on my nerves. theres a lot to like but man there's a lot to be annoyed with

[onyx barn]

There's plenty of cautionary tales online
I feel like just buying the game on Steam is a better deal, you directly support the devs and you don't run the risk of being scammed

[onyx barn]

What are you having problems with specifically?

[blissful ibex]

as far as I can tell there is no way to destroy something u made?

[fossil delta]

This game isn't for everyone. A lot of people I wish would play it won't.

[strange moat]

i mean the dev already got his bag from g2a

[blissful ibex]

g2a really is just as safe as steam as long as you are smart

[onyx barn]

Click the scroll wheel while you have the hammer to break a structure

[blissful ibex]

don't buy from sellers with less than a certain amount of sales, and with a certain rating

[blissful ibex]

no. equipment

ik how to break structures

[chrome badge]

The keys are purchased already, there's no risk of being scammed, and it's typically cheaper on G2A. 🤨

[fossil delta]

Not and get your mats back, no. Just destroy it, or toss it in deep enough water, or drop it far enough away form your work benches, etc... for it to despawn.

[blissful ibex]

no.

[strange moat]

yea i found it for around 10$ on g2a just now

[blissful ibex]

a lot

[onyx barn]

Yeah, you can't recycle equipment. Throw it in water and it will despawn eventually. Although there is a good reason to keep a spare set of equipment handy at a base in case you die in a tough spot.

[fossil delta]

To destroy it you have to have the Obliterator. Am I recalling its name correctly?

[blissful ibex]

not really when it's stone gear

[fossil delta]

You won't get coal back from destroyed gear though. Or destroyed meads. Has to be things like trophies, foods, and other mats.

[onyx barn]

I assume you upgraded from a stone axe to a flint one? Yeah the old stone axe is fine to just toss.
You know how to repair gear?

[hot fern]

use the expectation that it's an indy game that became huge because of the dev's creativity. there are some issues and shortcomings, but the freedom you have and the game in general is pretty fun

[fossil delta]

To clarify, throw it in deep enough water, and it will despawn immediately. Throw it in water that is too shallow, and close to say a workbench, and it will stay there.

[chrome badge]

It will not despawn immediately 😛

[fossil delta]

Well, at least its out of sight, so out of mind. 😄

[chrome badge]

Yeah

[blissful ibex]

I don't judge games by who made them or how small the team was. i judge them all the exact same because it doesn't make sense to waste my time on something I don't like just cuz the dev team is new or indie

i play games for entertainment and fun, and if the game I'm playing is lacking that, I drop it and move on, regardless of what developer made it, or how much money went into it

I'm so annoyed about the little things in this game cuz of how many good things it has going for it

little things like how inaccurate the bow is, just get on my nerves

[chrome badge]

You're using a bad bow, they get better 😛

[fossil delta]

Still, not all games are for everyone. Most people I know do not enjoy Valheim at all, let alone nearly as much as I do. I'm just lucky my wife is one of the few who do.

[blissful ibex]

the quality of the bow should only impact the damage and durability

maybe the range. but not it missing a shot from under 10m when my crosshair was correctly placed

[chrome badge]

Where is that written in the game design rulebook? 😛

[blissful ibex]

weird cult fanboys like you also scare off people wanting to get into the game cuz I come with valid criticism and all you're doing is defending it

don't be a coy prick

[chrome badge]

I'm defending game design not all being the same.

[fossil delta]

Is this with the first bow? The crude bow? They do get better as you get better materials.

[blissful ibex]

game design being unique doesn't inherently make it good or better

[chrome badge]

Should be and I want it to work this way are very different statements.

[blissful ibex]

that's fine that they get better but the baseline shouldn't be THIS inaccurate.

[light moat]

Maybe you just don’t enjoy the game, it happens

[chrome badge]

Correct, so you admit it inherently doesn't make it worse either.

[blissful ibex]

or maybe there are certain things ABOUT the game I don't like. I never said I didn't enjoy the game

[blissful ibex]

I'm just gonna block you cuz it's obvious you aren't going to engage me in an actual discussion.

[fossil delta]

You can learn to compensate. Are you also just using wood arrows? So no feathers?

[onyx barn]

I have my own fair share of grievances with Valheim's design, which is why I'm very interested to hear yours as a new player.

[blissful ibex]

there's no compensating it going 5mm to the left when it was perfectly centered

barely missing the monsters hitbox

when I was damn near within spear range

[chrome badge]

I'm sorry if you feel like I'm challenging your points, but you're phrasing things as if they're nothing but fact.

[steel mica]

What is happening

[blissful ibex]

the arrows I'm using should again, only impact the damage, it shouldn't be impacting my accuracy when I'm shooting a target literally right in front of me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, especially if your using wood arrows, with no feathers. That would be called realism. Now if your using flint arrows, with feathers, I'd agree with you more.

[onyx barn]

Do the arrows actually impact the accuracy? That's pretty neat

[sonic turret]

o/

[blissful ibex]

I'd agree with you if I was shooting a target 20+ meters away, but the complaint i have exists because they WEREN'T that far away

they were extremely close

[chrome badge]

Yeah Subaru clearly pictured everything that Valheim should be before experiencing it, and is now being let down left and right.

[light moat]

I don’t think they do, I think only the bow dictates accuracy 🤔

[chrome badge]

Yeah, wood arrows are very accurate.

It's just the bow itself.

[onyx barn]

I never really used the starter bow except maybe for trolls which are a big target, I always preferred throwing the flint spear when it came to hunting.

[blissful ibex]

wouldn't you be without a weapon if you throw your spear tho?

[onyx barn]

always have axe

[steel mica]

dodgeroll 🗣️

[fossil delta]

Well, like I have said several times, MOST people don't even like Valheim. So if you don't like it, its no surprise. Your just in the "most people" category.

[onyx barn]

But they said they liked it. Just not some parts of it

[steel mica]

Not all games is for everyone

[blissful ibex]

never said I didn't like it

idk why criticizing a game= you don't like it

some of my favorite games are the games I'm most critical of

[fossil delta]

I don't like some things about it either, and I pretty much hate the Ashlands, but I still play it.

[light moat]

#valheim-chat message this really implies you don’t enjoy the game lol

[steel mica]

If you dont like something in a video just dont do it?

[blissful ibex]

one chat implies that but you're ignoring the chats where I STATED otherwise

[shy marlin]

You'll never catch me F*shing in valheim

[blissful ibex]

like here ^

[fossil delta]

Well, we all weight the pros and cons, and we either play or stop playing based upon that. So hopefully you decide to keep playing.

[steel mica]

Unless its troll endurance

Goated potion

[shy marlin]

nope

[steel mica]

Ah a man of his words

I say no to fishing

[chrome badge]

Fishing is so chill though, I'll often do some fishing in the morning with my coffee. ☕

[shy marlin]

Fishin just ain't for me

And that's cool

[onyx barn]

I don't think they're going to stop playing because the first bow sucks 😅
The copper shortsword sucks in Terraria but it's a great game

[light moat]

”See how they bait their trap?

If anyone gets that reference, they get a gold star 😂

[fossil delta]

I fish, but only for fish wraps. I don't go for the hat or the Mistlands food. Except for when I play with my wife, which is most of the time. She makes me fish for the anglers. 😄

[chrome badge]

Reminds me of Halo but idk if that's what you're referencing

Success

[blissful ibex]

I've stopped playing other games for more petty reasons ngl, but the bow isn't even my worst complaint, it's just the easiest to explain

in a world where there's so many games, I just can't be bothered giving a game too much of my time unless it truly impresses me or does many things really well

[hot fern]

to be honest with you bro, i don't think the bow has issues at all

you just have to shoot it a few times to gain skill, and you will get better accuracy

and yes, spear can also be thrown and retrieved

[onyx barn]

...does accuracy increase with skill levels?

[shy marlin]

no

[hot fern]

yes it does

[blissful ibex]

I'm level 13 with bows

[hot fern]

it absolutely does.

[fossil delta]

The crude bow is... crude. The fine bow is a clear improvement over it.

[shy marlin]

Only what type of bow affects accuracy

[hot fern]

there's no way

[onyx barn]

the wiki says skill doesn't affect accuracy

[blissful ibex]

sounds like nobody knows what they talkin bout

[shy marlin]

Any bow past (and including) Huntsman is perfectly accurate

[hot fern]

perhaps it's just that it lets you aim quicker

[steel mica]

From my experience no, the noticable difference I see is stamina usage when drawing the bow and how fast you draw it

[hot fern]

making it seem like it helps

[shy marlin]

yup, you get closer to the fully drawn faster, but skill just speeds that up, doesn't impact accuracy at all

[onyx barn]

that's just people in general
you'll find them everywhere

[fossil delta]

Yeah, speed of draw increases, stamina burn drops, are the two things skill does. Not sure if there is another effect from skill. I don't memorize the wiki.

I very intentionally do not memorize the wiki.

[steel mica]

Crossbow experience buff when

[blissful ibex]

can u not change the keybinds for the hotbar?

[fossil delta]

Heh, IDK, I don't even use them.

[chrome badge]

Nope

[steel mica]

Sadly you cant

[onyx barn]

Most of us agree that's an actual flaw

[fossil delta]

Really? Not that I ever wanted to, but you can change all the rest of the key assignments. Why not the hot bar?

[blissful ibex]

hate games with that limitation

[onyx barn]

I love crossbow. point bang dead

[blissful ibex]

who tf presses 7 and 8 on their keyboard like ever in a game

your fingers literally just can't stretch there

[fossil delta]

I have two sets of fingers, and I use them.

[chrome badge]

Most MMORPG players use 7890 even - & =

[blissful ibex]

you take your hand off your mouse?

[onyx barn]

I shift my hand so my pinky or ring finger is controlling WASD momentarily

[steel mica]

Minecraft has nine hotbars

🫠

and plus you can scroll through your hotbars

[fossil delta]

When I need to. I use 7 8 and 9 for food, so never need to use them during a fight.

[steel mica]

wait no

[shy marlin]

yea but does minecraft have a 2 button dodge roll 😎

[steel mica]

no you cant

scroll through your hotbar

[onyx barn]

9 doesn't exist

[steel mica]

sad

[fossil delta]

Or 6 7 and 8, I mean.

[steel mica]

Most of the time your gonna be using either a melee or a pickaxe

[fossil delta]

I do everything pretty much without even thinking anymore, its what happens with over 4700 hours of mental conditioning.

[steel mica]

Im still not even done with my base

and everytime I get on valheim I just go through my portal and start gathering resources 🫠

like a damn robot

[fossil delta]

I've done probably 60 bases, if not more, by now.

[chrome badge]

Same, a little practice and repetition makes it that much easier.

[onyx barn]

But yeah, in Valheim I reserve the hotbar slots closest to my right hand for weapons and shield, and then further away is hammer/pickaxe/hoe and food or potion

[steel mica]

I still have 2 bases I plan to remake

my plains base I will remake into a tree farm

[steel mica]

My entire playthrough of valheim I did like 5ish bases?

and all of them are decently large

My main base being my biggest so far

[fossil delta]

Whats to remake? Just chose the ground where you want to plant trees, and plant. Do Beech trees and pine and fir even grow in the plains? I always use a meadows, so don't know.

[steel mica]

I plan to remake the old plains base fairly large just large enough that I can use a trollstav to destory the trees and let the troll do all the work

I dont wanna integrate it into my main base

since I have other plans for it

[fossil delta]

Ah, OK, that makes sense to me. I've barely used magic in comparison to weapons.

[zinc heath]

Trollstav's fun for that, yeah. Great for mining copper n stuff too, with how much I spend making Dverger lantern posts.

[fossil delta]

Heh, I guess you spend a lot of time making them. I can't even use the ones I get from dead dvergr camps.

[steel mica]

With enough speed you can just push the askvins out of the way 😂

[blissful ibex]

helpful for shields tho

[steel mica]

Shields are nice

[onyx barn]

Something that always bothered me about troll mining - aren't you just breaking the surface of the copper deposit? Isn't there a big chunk left underneath?

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[zinc heath]

I just carry Demolisher on me to check for anything left below the surface, and to absolutely delete any random skeletons attracted by the mining noise

[chrome badge]

Nothing keeps you from marking it on the map and coming back for it if necessary.

[steel mica]

The explosion is large enough that is just straight up destorys the entire node

You can always do another trollstav to check for any left over

[fossil delta]

Really? That something I will have to keep in mind for the future.

[zinc heath]

And if any fall through the floor, it'll just pop up to the surface in a second so there's no worry of lost minerals

[steel mica]

Nope

no lost and its quick

[steel mica]

Yeppers one trollstav can destory an entire coper node

double checking doesnt hurt also

Just be careful not to stand too close to the meteor

[zinc heath]

The explosion is also great at clearing any Greykin that chose to follow you for mining lol

[steel mica]

The fire dmg from the meteor is like lava levels of dmg

[fossil delta]

Hmmm... I may not like fighting with magic, but I might enjoy some mining with it. 😄

[pliant radish]

Mining with meteors is fun

[fossil delta]

How do the trolls do on the bridges in the Mistlands?

[zinc heath]

If you don't like fighting: Get Dundr. Literally a lightning shotgun, with a good parry can one-tap most things. Super fun to use, and quite hilarious to launch a greyling off a hill. It's some serious knockback, so good for getting distance, not to mention the fairly low eitr cost to wield.

It's like ~20 Eitr to load for me, but I also have like 40 something levels in elemental magic, think the base is 25

[steel mica]

you're better off bring a stonecutter

and just destroying the iron supports yourself

I tried using it

wasnt as effective as I thought

[fossil delta]

Maybe next play through. We pretty much skipped gathering eitr foods this time. Even though it probably would not take long to get a ton of mage caps again.

[zinc heath]

I just mine out the base with a pick or destroy it with Demolisher, both work without needing any extra material other than the tool itself

Stonecutter certainly makes it faster, if you have the stuff for one

[onyx barn]

i can't believe the ancient mistlands architects understood the secrets of rebar
And then we the viking come in doing the archeological equivalent of breaking into an abandoned building to steal the copper wiring

[steel mica]

this works too but... getting all the iron back

if you're in ashlands thats not a big deal

[fossil delta]

You get a ton of iron bars from the bridges, so just destroying part of it with a pick gets you the iron.

[steel mica]

bring some material for stonecutter and material for stone portal

[zinc heath]

My meal half the time is usually just magecaps, cloudberries and vineberry clusters, for actual fights is usually marinated greens, seeker aspic [dirt cheap at that point], and scorching medley.

[steel mica]

thats just my way

[fossil delta]

We do still have a lot of seeker meat, so I could make Seeker Aspic for quite a while.

We also still have about half a BM chest of Eityr. So can likely make all the magic gear without having to process more.

Plus our benches are already level 4.

Well, the forge is, not sure if we have levelled the magic table.

I'd guess thats a no.

So we can probably give magic a try again this play through.

[past dawn]

im in the mountains rn, will the iron buckler still manage to get me through the mountains and plains? or should i just craft the round shield? i do like 2.5x parry tho

[onyx barn]

craft the silver shield? i upgraded to it from a bronze buckler and it was pretty solid

if you do stick with the iron buckler, you won't get another buckler until the biome after plains
it might work

[past dawn]

yeah i was just asking what others did, i mainly use the buckler shields but after the swamp you dont get a new buckler until mistlands which sucks, cause the parry bonus is amazing

[onyx barn]

i think even with the lower parry multiplier the silver shield is still better at parrying than the iron buckler, but i'm happy to be corrected if i'm wrong

[past dawn]

ill give it a try

[shy marlin]

both will work fine for normal mode

[blazing cloud]

Sorry if this has been asked. Will we need to start a fresh campaign with the CTA update or can we continue the ones we have with this update?

[past dawn]

I’m actually losing my mind. I can’t find any frost caves. I went on valhiem viewer and the mountain shows 3 I found 1. I even matched coordinates and still nothing. Secondly is there a different world viewer because valhiem world Gen sucks. It’s so laggy it just made my pc blue screen

[fossil delta]

When the play test goes public, its basically the new Valheim. Your current game should be fine, just any new materials may not show up in areas you already explored.

Looking to barter for eggs, I have a number of materials for trade just name your price.

[lunar sapphire]

Have you visited one of Hildirs special dungeon locations which gives you an egg/2 eggs?

[pliant hatch]

Dawn of Defiance does and it works great!
The only disadvantage in that game is that the dodgeroll is connected to the key which other games use to crouch. But I'm getting used to it.

[rancid echo]

I scoured the files looking to find a reason for why eating (raspberries) make the sword skill appear and couldn't find anything

This seems like a @sweet bay level problem but he hasn't wrote anything in almost 3 months

[rancid echo]

Flint makes both the blocking and axe skill appear

and opening a chest somehow makes the swords skill appear as well

I have to test this further

Destroying a small tree (with your hands) makes the club and blocking skill appear

[rancid echo]

But if you already have the blocking skill unlocked, picking up flint will not trigger the axe skill

And unlike the other weapons, just crafting an axe unlocks the axe skill. Same for knives and pickaxes

[nocturne wolf]

I haven't entirely figured it out yet but the sword skill is triggered by only hovering over raspberries, not eating them

[rancid echo]

mind blown

it goes way deeper

and thank you for looking into it as well !!! ❤️

Yeah you figured it out. Hovering over the torch makes the clubs/ blocking skill appear. That makes a lot of sense!

And hovering over the tunic makes the... sword skill appear? again??

[nocturne wolf]

Sword skill seems to be the default value for an item's skill type (just confirmed, yes it is)

You noticed it on raspberries because that's what you usually hover over first, to eat one

[rancid echo]

Insane stuff. Looking at the stats in the crafting menu makes those skills appear, picking them up from commands isn't enough. Wow. I really want to find the code to see this behind the scenes :)

[rain lantern]

its so hard finding a new modded server

[lunar sapphire]

Even harder in this channel

[rain lantern]

Wasnt lfg in here

Just an exclamation

[nocturne wolf]

Whenever you hover over an item, the game finds your skill level for the item's skill type to be used in displaying the stats, even if that skill type isn't used in any of the shown information.
The function used to find the skill level creates new skill data if it doesn't find existing data that matches the skill type, which is then shown on the skill list.

And the crafting menu shows the same information as a hovered item so it triggers the same thing

[daring sandal]

So I found a surtling spawner, which at first was like OMG UNLIMITED SMELTING AND PORTALS, but now its kinda turning into a coal farm because its mroe fun than endless chopping trees... but what do you do with all the surtling cores?

[honest burrow]

Obliterator to coalmax

[daring sandal]

Whats an obliterator?

[honest burrow]

A building you can make after buying one of Harold's items. Put anything in, coal comes out

Very inefficiently, mind you. But hey, better than throwing away abundant items

[gentle glen]

endless smelters and furnaces

or loads of portals

[daring sandal]

If I could have them auto load from a chest, then I'd do that, but I already have about as many as I can hand feed

[gentle glen]

I just have a mod that lets me put in the max amount all at once

cause 1 by 1 is a little annoying even if it lets you overfill

[merry pebble]

Use them on campfire 😉

[gentle glen]

you mean a bonfire, right?

cause I thought it only workedd on bonfires

[merry pebble]

Nope, works on any firesource like campfire, the standig brazier, etc

[honest burrow]

Wait, as fuel? Didn't know that

[merry pebble]

Not as fuel 😉 try one and you will see

[honest burrow]

Fiiiine I needed an excuse to boot it up anyways

Heh, fun

[rancid echo]

Thank you so much!!!! Where exactly is this?

[bleak niche]

Do mobs scale with more players around?

[merry pebble]

Up to 5 players, yes

[bleak niche]

Oh, so if solo mobs are easier?

[merry pebble]

Technically, yes, they have less effective health and do less dmg if you are on solo, but when playing with people the combat is still much easier even if the mobs are technically stronger

[torpid fern]

Ιts not like multiplayer has too much more damge , but the health alone on lets say * and ** enemies is staggering

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_Level#Effects

Here you can see how exactly the enemies scale 🙂

[bleak niche]

Yeah I see!
So if I play with friends that just run around and let me kill I will have a struggle 😅

[merry pebble]

Yeah, if you dont help each other but are close together you will have quite a bit harde time, but if you actually help each other the comabat will be easier than solo 🙂

[torpid fern]

teamwork makes the dream work like asatru says

though i gotta admit running into a menace like a 2 star morgen when you are 2-3 people its like a damn bossfight

[merry pebble]

Heh, that being said, even in solo that situation feels like a boss fight xD

[torpid fern]

the last time i found one in a cave it was a whole expedition on its own...got my berserkir meads and full health loadout

still couldnt parry it all the way with bonemass...

[merry pebble]

Iirc bonemass doesent help with parrying, just with the dmg that gets through after it fails 🤔

[daring sandal]

Does more people give the h monsters more health?

[torpid fern]

yes , +30% per player

[merry pebble]

#valheim-chat message yes

[vital oar]

i need to wait a year for deep north?

[merry pebble]

We have no idea when it might come

[torpid fern]

reducing the damage you will take does help with parrying because the recieving damage to be blocked is less , try parrying a 2 star charred warrior with and without bonemass

without it will go through 100%

[daring sandal]

Why do I sometimes find iron scrap on the ground just sitting there in the swamp?

[merry pebble]

Tahts the point, you are parrying all the dmg, only after the block calculation is done, which decides if you parry successfully, the bonemass effect applies

[merry pebble]

They can fall through the floor of the crypt when mining

[torpid fern]

you really make me think now , ill test it out to check , in the killroid calculator stagger recieved is only 5-6 less when bonemass is applied

parrying with 240 health , 114 armor , 3 level shield and harnesk (harnesk prolly didn do jack since it was the overhead swing that deals slash) , parry was successful but i was staggered

i suppose though that with attacks that are pierce damage i wont even get staggered

no bonemass in these tests

[nocturne wolf]

Character damage modifiers are applied after blocking calculations, the only way to resist damage before blocking is a shield damage modifier (currently only serpent scale shield's pierce resistance)

[torpid fern]

so that makes fader's alleged new stats to be even more usefull than legacy bonemass

since you will fail less parries

+50% stagger limit i think it was

[gusty bobcat]

Hey👋 Is there a ticket system in this discord?

[torpid fern]

unfortunate that it doesnt parry :| it would be so usefull

Rocky is one of the best additions to the game imho. I never knew I needed a pet rock so badly 😄

[burnt glen]

how does someone even get rocky?

[merry pebble]

You find a special rock in the wild 🙂

[warm sandal]

you need to find the mysterious rock on the ground ... it is fun to go search for a rocky 😄

[burnt glen]

alright lmao

[merry pebble]

You also need to look in areas not explored before april 1st of this year

[burnt glen]

I just made this world to play the PTB

[merry pebble]

Then you should have no more trouble than usual 😄

[fossil delta]

This year?

[merry pebble]

Yep, Rocky was added in the April 1st patch of 2025

[fossil delta]

OK, just wondering why you said before April 1st of THIS year.

[burnt glen]

areas not explored before april 1

[merry pebble]

Because this year is 2025...

[fossil delta]

But April is well past for this year.

[merry pebble]

Yes, and? You need to explore areas you did not generate before this years april 1st, meaning the april first that happened in this year, that is April 1st 2025

[fossil delta]

Ah, OK, that is the context I was missing.

[burnt glen]

do I need to pick up every stone or should I be able to tell the difference?

[warm sandal]

it is a bit bigger and smoother than regular rocks...you will immediatly see the difference if you find one

[burnt glen]

Ok, thank you!

SILKSONG JUST OVERPASSED VALHEIM AS THE MOST PLAYED (at once) INDIE GAME ON STEAM WTF from this day on valheim is no longer no 1 but it will forever be in my heart 🥺

Valheim - 498 478

Silksong - 535 213

[rancid echo]

Also wild that the record stood for 4 whole years and a half

[light moat]

Pretty impressive! Great for them, I hope Silksong is a great game and does really well!

[fossil delta]

Yeah, never heard of it until now, but I will be checking them out. Always looking for exceptional games.

[pliant radish]

Honestly somewhat impressive you never heard of it

[barren whale]

huh
steamdb says palworld hit 2m

[broken heron]

Any word on when the new update drops on main branch? or is it unknown

[fossil delta]

This looks like its the sequel to Hollow Knight, THAT I have heard of, and even own it. So I will likely buy this as well. I would not compare it to Valheim though. This is a sequel to a popular award winning game. Not the first one.

[heady parcel]

Unknown - so when it is ready. Seeing as this update not only adds some stuff but also tweaks a good few mechanics, I wager they'll want to monitor how testing goes for a while before pushing it live. Better it lingers a few weeks more on ptb than is released in an unbalanced state.

[fossil delta]

They won't release it until they are confident of its stability. It won't be problem free, but it will be darn close.

[heady parcel]

Right, so I finally found a good practical use for the iron fire pit from Hildir - goes on wooden floors and does not spit sparks around, so it is safe in crammed wooden huts (when running fire hazards) 🙂

[fathom gulch]

I wonder if there will ever be stats introduced to the game. Total kills of each enemy type, total objects built, etc

[merry pebble]

Not sure if these exact ones are there, but type /stats in chat 🙂

[fossil delta]

I've never really studied them, but isn't stuff like that included in /stats?

Yeah, what Asatru said. 😄

[fathom gulch]

Do you have to do anything special to enable that or just type it in?

[azure yacht]

just type it

[fathom gulch]

I know dev commands are a thing but haven’t used them

I’ll have to try that

[azure yacht]

it's not in the console

[merry pebble]

Just type it in chat you open using Enter, then open chat again and use PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll up and down 🙂

[fathom gulch]

Is it stats overall for my character or world specific? Or both?

[gray tinsel]

Got a question regarding 1.0 and worlds. Would 1.0 require a new save file/world or no?

[merry pebble]

Your character stats

[merry pebble]

It shouldnt

But we never know

[gray tinsel]

If I remember correctly, things generate as you see them correct? So if we don't visit the ||deep north|| until 1.0: it will be fuly generated with the new contnet right?

[fossil delta]

Generally you only have to worry about new stuff if you have no more unexplored areas for the new material to be generated. IE biomes.

[merry pebble]

Yep, new stuff will be in unexplored areas 🙂

[gray tinsel]

Thanks. Wanted to double check on that

[fathom gulch]

Not just the skills?

[merry pebble]

Type it in, you will see what stuff is in there 🙂

[fossil delta]

Some new stuff can generate even in explored areas, like creatures, such as abominations, and the "You are being Hunted" event, etc...

[past dawn]

if i build a roof over my boars will they still breed?

[merry pebble]

Yep

You will not regret just putting them in a full boar house. Walls, roof, etc...

A lone deathsquito flying around dominating an entire swamp is a marvel to behold

[fossil delta]

Getting Lox into swamps can be pretty entertaining, especially when there is an abomination.

[heady parcel]

Aye. But few things beat a herd of very angry lox diving into a tar pit after the growths pissed them off

[fossil delta]

Lox are how I prefer to handle tar pits. Unless I get a "You are being hunted" event.

[pliant radish]

Just blame everything on silksong regardless of whether it’s accurate

[rancid echo]

Palworld is 100% not indie, they had 150-180 devs at launch and perhaps even more now. That's more devs than the regular fallout game. The rumor that a small indie company is making a game that rivals Nintendo is pretty much a myth (even though Palworld is way better lmao) since the studio sizes were about the same during development of swsh/sv, but gamefreak added like 50 members in the past 5 years. Indie or not, palworld is still good.

[pliant radish]

Palworld has 150+ devs??

Man, from what little I’ve seen of it, it didn’t look like such a big production

[rancid echo]

i was wrong :( from a random steam community post apparently 82 are main devs/ programmers, the other ~100 listed in the credits are voice sfx devs localizers and voice actors but the point still stands valheim launched with 5 people and silksong with THREE making the achievement even greater oh my god congrats silksong again :)

[light moat]

Oh dang, I didn’t realize Palworld had even that many devs, kinda crazy🤔

[zinc cedar]

@near furnace So I really need to know.

With the upgrade to Unity 6, have the developers figured out what was the culprit behind low FPS with big builds?

If the cause is known, I need to know. You know personally this has been driving me nuts for nearly 2 years 😅

I need closure 🤣

[pliant radish]

My current understanding is that its making a lot of building stability checks for no reason and its eating up a lot of processing

[zinc cedar]

Nope. We found out around 1.5 years ago batching (all the same build pieces should render in one batch) was breaking weirdly. 3 beams render there, 4 of the same beams render seperatly over there.

But as the game was in an old version of unity the framedebugger didn't specify what the cause for batching to break was.

But now they are in unity 6 in the PTB...

We get tthe modern frame debugger

Stability checks are a factor. But the batching hurts way more

since they have pierce resist, there are geysters in the swamp those are p good against em

[mossy oyster]

anyone want warhammer vermintide 2? I got it from a random key purchase and i already have it

[high yarrow]

Can I have it

Was thinking of getting into the warhammer franchise

[mossy oyster]

yee

[turbid mural]

Is there still no estimate on when the new content might be released? I'm really looking forward to a game of Valheim with the new trinkets.

[tepid prawn]

you can look up how long previous content stayed on the PTB before it was released but basically it will be out when its ready you can't really know what bugs and how long to fix them etc

[tardy lance]

what do i do with junk items in the game?

[rugged folio]

there's an item you can buy that lets you build an obliterator to turn junk into coal

[brazen linden]

A) Store them. You don't know what they might be used fore in the future.
B) Toss them into the world, outside of the range of a workbench (or alike), and they will de-spawn.
C) Hyrcyne's suggestion.

[tardy lance]

alr

[brazen linden]

Super nice, if you posted your questions in multiple channels.... /s

[fair eagle]

So when can we expect ready to fight to come out of PTR?

[merry pebble]

The call to arms will comeout of ptb when all issues are dealt with 🙂 no timeline for it really

[near furnace]

the culprit is the players

if you don't build 90,000 build pieces and stuff. you're fine

[compact cedar]

So.... the limit is 89,999? (Joking, couldnt resist)

[zinc cedar]

Since I asked that I did some digging with the new frame debugger and discovered something odd that leads me to a secondary question. 😅

Is it intentional for the Low quality mesh and the high quality mesh to be in a singular LOD group on the vertical wood poles (and a lot of other build pieces?)

Because the end effect is that both the low and high quality meshes are rendering all the time 😅

[near furnace]

don't ask me since I don't program

I can't answer atm

it's a extremly complicated system

you can probably remove all the "fun" parts from it. like stability checks etc etc

but that would also remove the challenge in building in valheim

we have looked at it, done some optimization changes to it

but asking specific things.. I can't answer

but certain things must be like they are

else houses would explode

[rancid echo]

Why did a D3D12 folder appear? Is it vanilla or because of bepinex

[near furnace]

unity 6

tho valheim still uses DX11

[rancid echo]

So it's safe to delete. Thank you, 5mb freed Valheim is still the most debloated game of all time and I love that you take the effort to delete unused stuff and optimize it even more

[near furnace]

maybe a thursday

[stark lion]

Man

I like valheim

[tacit crystal]

After 3,1k hours of gameplay I can confirm it is quite okay.

[stark lion]

It is a game

[tacit crystal]

It is one of the games.

[real axle]

Hello, quick question, does flint, for example, regenerate when we have harvested everything in the area?

[west mica]

Flint does

[fossil delta]

Pretty much everything you pick up off the ground in the Meadows biome regenerates in a few game days.

[real axle]

okay thx

[tacit crystal]

Pickable stones don't, everything else does.

[fossil delta]

Pickable stones? You mean the stones that are all over the place? Yeah, they do regenerate. I've used hundreds, if not thousands, of them to build my dirt walls early in game. Before I have a pick.

[little stream]

believe those felled logs with moss on them respawn as well...

[solid palm]

Not sure about that one, I really thought it was almost all surface level interactables like mushrooms, berries, wood, stone, flint.

[fossil delta]

No, once you cut up anything, it stays gone. Trees, stumps, saplings, etc...

[tacit crystal]

Yeah the stones you pick by pressing E. They are exception, they don't respawn.

[gentle glen]

defintely not, never seen that happen

[chrome badge]

Damn I never realized the picked stones don't respawn, I truly wouldn't mind if this were the case with Flint too

There are some flint nodes in my base that are just a bit annoying with their placement

[gentle glen]

I know picked stones don't reappear in the same place but I think they might reappear in chunks in random places

don't quote me

[chrome badge]

It says on the wiki that they don't respawn, and someone tested this with modded debug tools, there's no respawn flag like other surface objects carry.

[tacit crystal]

Been picking lots of them stones in my current run and can confirm none of those have respawned.

[fossil delta]

Nice to know I picked up all those stones in the same places over and over again without them respawning.

[tacit crystal]

Have, sorry my non native English.

[chrome badge]

All good!

[gentle glen]

you speak it better than some english people I know

[tacit crystal]

I'm sure you haven't heard me speaking yet.

I might or might not have bit strong prononcuation of my native language lol.

[scarlet fossil]

I always thought the pickable stones, flint, and chopable logs/stumps were kinda randomly regenerated. they dont seem to appear in the same locations like dandelions and mushrooms do

[tacit crystal]

Flints and pickable branches do, and they also respawn.

[scarlet fossil]

I know they respawn but they dont seem to be in the exact same spot. Is it a spanwer with randomess or is the ground just covered with spawers that check if theres already too many nearby?

[chrome badge]

Mine are always in the exact same place 🤔

[scarlet fossil]

I could have sworn the branches and flint seems to not spawn in exactly the same spots

[solid palm]

for me they have. To test this theory, place a landmark like raised ground exactly under where you picked it, take a screenshot if you need, or place a 2m pole right next to it. See if it's the same or different next time it respawns

they respawn in the exact same spot each time, done a bunch of experiments related to that for different reasons before

when is call to arms going live??

[tacit crystal]

When the bugs are fixed and it's ready to be transferred to live version.

[left storm]

its a pretty small patch and its been over two weeks, how long does that process typically take?

[solid palm]

Considering there's new content, which means balancing and testing, it might not be as small of a patch as it seems. That being said, they also are working on an upcoming major update as well, so the call-to-arms update/patch comes out when it comes out.

That depends at the size of the bugs.
And right now they've hit a very nasty one that isn't as easy to solve. So it'll take longer as most people hoped for.

Yeah it's not always so simple, even when it's just "small patch".
Even those smaller updates have been quite significant additions to the game.
