valheim-chat

[west mica]

I think it bugged out

[abstract sigil]

Yea the maws came and stuff but weirdly they didn't go after my boat

They felt like trying to get me with their ranged attacks

After I landed on shore that is

[west mica]

Normally, if youre off your boat they will try and attack you directly

This one island I went to was bugged

Its strange, I had this one cursed area that kept spawning all starred mobs, and no it wasnt a mysterious location

[abstract sigil]

Every mod was starred 😂

I found it really helpful to have a demolisher for the knock back

[foggy glacier]

I usually try to find a beach or rock area near some ruins. I'll hop right off the boat onto the ruins and climb up high ASAP to get a breather before I start dealing with the welcoming party.

[fossil delta]

Our welcoming party wasn't too bad. We also landed right at a ruins. I think it helped that none of the heavy hitters welcomed us. No fallen valkyrie, no Morgen (sp?). Just vultures, twitchers, blobs and warriors. So we got a nice fortress put up pretty easily, compared to how it could have gone.

[merry pebble]

Valkyries usually spawn a bit more inland 🙂 but its good luck you didnt encounter any morgens

[fossil delta]

They showed up, eventually, One of their caves wasn't too far off, but apparently far enough we didn't have to deal with them until we had nice walls up.

[shell palm]

Came back to the Vanilla game after a break (300hrs) and here are some initial things that are affecting me not continuing:
I feel some of the enemy attacks are very sudden like a few frames are missing from the attacks - I think this gives the combat a clunky feel. My laptop is a Corei7 with RTX Graphics.
Overground movement on walk too is too slow. Having to sprint everywhere (its my common complaint on most games to be fair) - make walk faster please.
Picking up stuff is clunky. Could you make 'f' pick up all resources in a certain radius.
Also:
Suggest crafting stations draw materials from nearby chests.
The save game structure is too cumbersome - Single save (char and world) with date would be much better.

[open pecan]

#suggestions

[merry pebble]

You toggle walk using C, and that is the slowest setting so yes it will be slow.
And you already pick up stuff in radius, you can toggle it off using V so be sure you dont have it off.

[fossil delta]

I think he may mean static items, such as the branches, flint, rocks, etc... rather than having to click on everything.

[shell palm]

Thanks for the advice, I will try C and V

[pliant hatch]

Meaning filling up your inventory after you've left your base for 3 minutes, then complain the inventory is full all the time again?

Seems like a good solution to me.

[abstract sigil]

I kinda like it, makes it feel like ur scavenging

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I only want all the rocks, flint, branches, etc... for so long. 😄

[abstract sigil]

Resin🥰

[merry pebble]

Not pickable resource like rocks and branches 🙂

[fossil delta]

Resin gets picked up automatically, so...

[pliant hatch]

Same with me. At some point I switch auto pick-up off when venturing in the BF, to avoid picking up stones, dandelion, bukeperries and ancient seeds as I got more than enough of those. Means I need to click a bit more often after killing any greydwarf, but at least it saves me from clicking in my inventory all the time to drop things.

[fossil delta]

I continue to pick up everything, then throw out what I don't want, when I can fill those slots with more of what I do want.

When I have the obliterator, at the very least I will get some coal.

[pliant hatch]

Oh, I got a coal farm for that.
So I've got enough coal, but too many surtling cores........ 🙁

[merry pebble]

Free fireworks 😄

[tacit crystal]

Ugh I have too many Black cores in my current main world... Well, fireworks.

[merry pebble]

There is no such thing as enough black cores
-# Might be just the part of me thats annoyed with finding the first 15 but still xD

[foggy glacier]

They must be made of iron.

[tacit crystal]

I said too many, not enough tho. ☝️

[merry pebble]

If you cant have enough then you certainly cant have too many tho 😄

[blissful ibex]

Whats the best early early game food besides deer meat? I'm only strong enough for meadows/black forest or similar difficulty level areas

[merry pebble]

Did you already mine stuff in black forest?

[tacit crystal]

Gotta to check soon how many of those I have. I've been exploring lots of Mistlands around the main world.

[shy marlin]

[blissful ibex]

Just copper and tin

Working up to making bronze gear. Its a lot of working going back and forth

I've got axes and picks made of bronze already

[merry pebble]

If you smelted tin then you can make cauldron 😄 Did you find any white flowers in black forest?

[blissful ibex]

Cauldron?

Is it a different name

[shy marlin]

Mead ketil?

[merry pebble]

Yep, look in hammer menu.

[blissful ibex]

I saw the mead thing

Looked up the meads, they are okay. I dont have the stuff to make the good ones tho

[merry pebble]

I meant cauldron 🙂 not mead ketill

[blissful ibex]

I dont recall seeing a cauldron in my hammer menu

Might be missing a different prerequisite

[merry pebble]

Look again, if you have the ketill then you should have it 🤔

You only need tin for it

[blissful ibex]

I'll check when i get home

Im guessing that makes meals or whatever which gives better buffs?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, it unlocks lots of better foods.

[merry pebble]

Yep, it will be used for the rest of the game meals pretty much 🙂
Also, did you find any white flowers in BF?

[blissful ibex]

I found blue flowers

Thistles or something

But nah havent really been looking for flowers

[fresh charm]

Yoo I'm back

Bought the game a few minutes ago ^^

[fossil delta]

I have too much coal too. At least it seems like having to start filling a second BM chest is too much. Maybe.

[wicked quarry]

When call to arm launches, anyone know what happens to the public play test worlds? Will I be able to continue my play there or will they all just get moved to live or go poof etc?

[fresh charm]

Downloading it rn

I bought valheim and vintage story in a really short span of time.......

[pliant hatch]

You can continue to play at the same world.

No server or save game wipes for this game.

[fresh charm]

Wait there's like a big update coming soon right?

Should I wait with playing the game for the first time till then?

[west mica]

If youre excited about starting the game, just start now

You can go back and do the new content, or if youre keen for it to be done parallel to where you are in the progression of the game naturally, its something for your 2nd playthrough

[pliant hatch]

No need to. The content of any update will be added to your world.

Some things may pop up in unexplored parts of your world, others might show up in explored parts of the world.

For now, stay out of the Northern part (the "top") of the map and you're fine for the two upcoming updates.

[west mica]

If you wait for this, you might as well wait for the 1.0 update
If you wait for 1.0 you might as well wait for post-release patches
If you wait for post-release updates, you might as well wait until the 10 DLCs and battlepass is released (jk irong gate would not that to us)

But the point is the game will probably get some kind of content for years to come so you might as well start now

[fresh charm]

I see, makes sense

Tho I'm wondering, when is the update coming?
If its like a week from now I will wait, any more, nah

As it seems to me like the update is really close

[tacit crystal]

We don't know when. The said update is currently on Public Test (which is playable right now too) but it will move to live version once the biggest bugs/issues are fixed.

[open pecan]

It is pretty close imo, I mean it's on the test server.

[fresh charm]

Ohh I see
I ain't waiting then

[tacit crystal]

Like Thorin pointed out above, the new content will be added in your world once the update is there.

[fresh charm]

Good to know

[tacit crystal]

Old worlds are always playable after content updates, unless there is very little amount of unexplored areas in your world which can prevent getting any possible new POIs.

[fresh charm]

Is the world big?

[wicked quarry]

Yes

[fathom gulch]

What is your strategy for taking down trolls?

[light moat]

Depends on my build, but honestly I’ve gotten the timing of their attacks down pretty well so it’s usually just a case of dodging and attacking in the windows.

Sometimes I’ll try to start off combat by getting a sneak shot arrow on them.

[open pecan]

Fire arrows.

[chrome badge]

To be economic I shoot them with my bow from afar, hide in a bush, let them walk back and repeat. The sneak bonus and a headshot really does a significant amount of damage and doesn't eat away at your arrows massively.

[opal prairie]

Abyssal razor, jump attack, slash away after stunning them that way.

[blissful ibex]

i just shoot em with a bow

[fathom gulch]

Are these more affective than flint arrows?

[blissful ibex]

trolls are pretty stupid and slow

[open pecan]

For sure.

[merry pebble]

Keep an eye out for these 🙂 they will give you an ingredient for new food

[blissful ibex]

I'll try

found the cauldron, i see why i never saw it. it's over on the left, not where "new unlocks" typically appear

[merry pebble]

The new unlocks are not always at the end no, especially upgrades to the workstations can be sneaky like this 😄

[blissful ibex]

didnt say they were at the end, just strange to be at the very start

so far I don't seem to have any food options that are spectacular. they are okay

queens jam is at least a big improvement over honey

[merry pebble]

The flowers i mentioned will help a lot 🙂 and i suggest you make cultivator already, since that ties to the flowers

[blissful ibex]

I'd been doing 2 meats and honey for a mix of health and stamina

the boar jerky is kinda meh though

[merry pebble]

It gives a tiny bit more total stats than deer meat for example 😄 but it is balanced food so you kind of use it if you want to have around the same ammount of health and stamina

[heady parcel]

Question - is it known why the map fog uncovery does not match what we can actually see? I don't really like how I can sail along a coast watching forests, plains and mountains but looking at the map I might as well have been sailing across the bloody Pacific.

[merry pebble]

No idea if there is an oficial reason, but i imagine you draw on the map what you as a character can clearly see i detail.
And also, if you did actually draw everything you would see the explore radius would have to change with your graphic settings

[heady parcel]

That would be pretty fair in my book. The radius is infuriatingly small as is, but if there is an explanation I can live with it..

[merry pebble]

Meh, i dont really have a problem with it, and you can always just put a marker on the map where you see interesting things you might want to visit later 🙂

[heady parcel]

Yeah that's how I do it now, but over time you get a lot of markers reading like "cool hill", "high fkn mtn", "swamp w crypts" or "yaggy boy!"...

Which wouldn't really change with longer range map draw, they would just make more sense

[merry pebble]

You could put in a suggestion for it to be adjustable, either with or without commands. 🙂

[heady parcel]

I did a long time ago actually, so it's in there and if the devs haven't changed it yet I doubt they will at this point. I was just wondering about the reasons..

[dark coyote]

yeah it should be line of sight based, so ocean/plains/meadows has a wider reveal radius

[merry pebble]

What if you have short-sighted viking? xD

[heady parcel]

Craftable glasses with crystal!

[merry pebble]

I will not say no to more use cases for crystal 😄

-# Tbh, an accessory that would increase the range of the fog of war exploration by some % would be kinda cool 🤔 not really needed imo, but cool

[west mica]

The short-sighted viking never left his starting island, because he couldn't sea

[blissful ibex]

do tin deposits respawn overtime?

[merry pebble]

Nope, no ore does.

[west mica]

Thankfully tin is abundant and has a very nice yield

Its all over the place usually near water in the black forrest

[merry pebble]

Almost always, since its spawns are based on elevation 🙂

Tho it can rarely happen taht there is a valley just low enough for tin and barely not low enough for water

[fresh charm]

turned on valheim

my whole pc is lagging 🔥

All low on graphics and still lags 🔥

And its not a bad pc

[merry pebble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU
Try tips in this video 🤔 while it is older they should still work quite well

[blissful ibex]

do the carrots we planted need to be watered? they are near the water

[merry pebble]

Nope, they dont need water nearby 🙂
Just cultivated ground

[mossy gazelle]

Will valheim be worked on even after 1.0?
Is there any interview/podcast with any opinion from devs regarding plans after official release?

[merry pebble]

So far the word from them was yes, tho no additions as big as new biome for example, but bug fixes and optimizations for sure. 🙂

[mossy gazelle]

object oclusion culling for playermade structures would be great

[foggy glacier]

so can we still go prospecting for silver? Does is still say 'Too hard'?

[late dune]

yyes

[merry pebble]

If using stagbreaker, yes, but be careful since obsidian gives the same message 🙂

[foggy glacier]

oh darn. I've been using the sledge.

[merry pebble]

That will show 0

[foggy glacier]

Yep. I'm running around this darn mountain thinking to myself there's so many spots silver should be!

[merry pebble]

Just go back for stagbreaker 😄 it will save you time in the longrun

[sudden pawn]

Ah yes the classic "I don't need no wishbone, when i can just go prospecting the old fashioned way"

I know its "cheesing" Bonemass when you come in with Frostner...but I can't stop myself.

[tacit crystal]

I just went in few large mountains in my newest run and found some silver nodes just poking from the ground.

[merry pebble]

Yeah happened to me on this playthrough too, and once you go through the game a few times you actually start guessing the spots the silver might be at quite reliably 😄

[heady parcel]

It's not cheezing if you've been up on the mountain and found silver out in the open. To be honest I have not once fought Bonemass without Frostner. Nor have I gone around every mountain in sight with a sledge. If you've got eyes (and some luck) you don't need cheeze...

[fresh charm]

played half an hour of Valheim

I think I need a lot of wood for start
a LOT of wood

[heady parcel]

Yeah, you need a lot of wood 🙂

[merry pebble]

For decent house, yeah 😄

[fresh charm]

Sadly I have to go to sleep now

I'll gather wood tomorrow

[tacit crystal]

At least 4 nodes poked out, enough to craft fully upgraded silver shield, Crystal battleaxe, Frostner, Fang spear and Flesh rippers plus the cauldron upgrade. All I ever needed as I nowadays rock with full Fenris.

[fresh charm]

Is there a way to repeat the Stone axe or do I have go craft a milion of them?

[merry pebble]

Make a workbench and you can repair it in there 🙂

[fresh charm]

Oh, I see
So I still need to craft a bunch since I can't use the bench without a roof

[merry pebble]

Or just make a little hut where you will go repair whenever you destroy the axe

[west mica]

Build a roof, but also go to the waters edge and get yourself some flint for a better axe and other useful stuff

And you will never have enough wood

[heady parcel]

Yeah you just need a couple of roof sections and maybe a couple of walls to the sides. Getting your workbench "sheltered" so you can repair and craft stuff should be your first priority

[light moat]

You can also borrow an existing building in the meadows, fix it up and use it a temporary base to repair your gear in the meantime.

[heady parcel]

Yep. 200 days in on my current world I still live in the first ruined hut I stumbled across near the spawn stones...

[dark coyote]

that was my first base too, are you a lovecraft fan?

[heady parcel]

Just can't decide on where to build "for real" so yeah

[light moat]

I like to use those rock structures in the meadows/bf to use as a nice little roof!

[heady parcel]

Ohyes, Lovecraft is my House Deity 😄

[harsh marten]

Heya, anyone knows how bad terraforming is for performance?

[heady parcel]

Not

[azure yacht]

from 1 to 10: 0

[harsh marten]

Oh for real?

[dark coyote]

yeah I would think not since its not voxels

[harsh marten]

Thats awesome to hear

Figured it might be another thing the client has to remember thats different from what it should be but what do I know 😛

[heady parcel]

Something that does affect performance is leaving tree stubs around, and letting loot lie around in the world

And planting massive tree farms

[harsh marten]

and normal farms id guess

[heady parcel]

Those tend to be managed though

Tree plantations may be left for weeks or months, and if you've planted like a hundred trees you'll notice on a potato machine

[harsh marten]

Its fun to portal to the treefarm and see them pop up at the same time

[heady parcel]

Now, my PC is over ten years old at this point, and although I have upgraded the GPU fact remains the cpu is so old I can't even install W11 - and I have no performance issues in Valheim ever, whatever I do.

[harsh marten]

Come join my build.. if nothing happens I want to buy your pc

17 fps is playable no? ^^

[blissful ibex]

I'd say around 8 or so stacks is enough

[heady parcel]

And my plains barley/flax fields are usually 200 at a time, no issues.

[shy marlin]

Ashlands sailing ost has no reason to go so hard 🗣️ 🔥

[tacit crystal]

Imagine the first time ever sailing there and encounter that OST.

[slow leaf]

Asksvins egg don't need shelter to hatch? Just warmth?!

Ok maybe not, the ruins in Ashlands seem to just have a fairly wide 'shelter' under them

100 asksvins warming up for Fader, this should be fun

[livid snow]

Besides using the Pickaxe, what's the most effective way to take out a Stone Golem?

I got one that's stuck in a rock, and I'd like to try to get him from a distance but seems like a lot of arrows

[shy marlin]

Pickaxe isn't the most effective way to take out a stone golem to begin with

Best way is iron mace + shield parry and staggerlock

[livid snow]

I'll give it a try thanks

[shy marlin]

If it's in a hole tho honestly just use some wood arrows and u can get some good bow xp

[livid snow]

True true

[slow leaf]

If it's stuck in a hole, just leave it and you won't get any more stone golem spawns in that area

[livid snow]

No.

[slow leaf]

Ok?

[light moat]

That’s my preferred method 👀

[livid snow]

Didn't want to just avoid him, I'm after trophys

[light moat]

I’m curious how this plays out lol

[slow leaf]

40 2** and 60 1*? Pretty quickly, I bet lol

2 stars just hatched, 1 stars are a little behind because my fire got put out

[past dawn]

man i dont even care about the new update or whenever deep north is coming out, i just want height terrain hitboxes fixed lol

[slow leaf]

So... in the new update?

[past dawn]

are they fixxing it in the update? cause all i saw was new armor and bears

[slow leaf]

Yes

It will be better

[past dawn]

well then i retract my statment lol and ill shut up XD

[foggy crystal]

hi

[slow leaf]

Fader is dead. So are... all but 1 of my Asksvins

[warm basalt]

HELP

do i put the smooth side inside or the smooth side outside on the wood walls

[shy marlin]

i like smooth inside idk

[slow leaf]

Smooth side goes out

[abstract sigil]

ashlands most fun biome!

welp just got to 6-7 weight in valheim. Life is complete 😄

[chrome badge]

Uh, what?

[shell ledge]

Is it normal to use fly to check out your build

Or just me

[tepid prawn]

thats entirely up to you, some people use a mod too, but if you want to use the devcommand to do it, up to you

I often try take photos etc differently and sometimes i build an ugly ladder tower thing for taking photos too haha

[snow magnet]

whats Vulcan when launching

[scarlet fossil]

Vulkan is a graphics api, an alternative to directx

[grizzled coyote]

it's kinda funny that you can stan an archer by parrying their arrows like 7 meters away from them

[fresh charm]

Is the world procedurally generated?

[chrome badge]

Yes it is, there's a master map for the land masses, but the biomes and the POI generations are unique

[fresh charm]

I see
Thanks!

I'm wondering if I should base at spawn or where

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry about choosing permanent base area yet, you can always move things to other location for new base if you want.

[fresh charm]

Makes sense

[tacit crystal]

And as non spoilery thing what it is, but there will be something that makes moving easier.

[fresh charm]

||Ships?||

[tacit crystal]

One of them, but that I wasn't pointing out.

[fresh charm]

Makes sense

[pliant hatch]

Three things, actually.
One fixed to the ground, one rolling and one (or two) floating.

|| And come to think of it has anyone ever tried to transport carts with a Drakar?||

[chrome badge]

Four things, actually.
Five if you include the ability to walk or run.

||(Just kidding, obviously Joelkki was referencing something specific and not listing every option available)||

[pliant hatch]

Then it would be 6. 😉

|| 2 in the BF using the same kind of wood, one rolling, one fixed. One floating in the swamp, one floatind after Mistlands, one fixed in Ashlands. And walking /running . ||

[chrome badge]

No one is asking 😂

[little turtle]

Is changing my world modifiers works on the existing world im in?

[near furnace]

yes

[little turtle]

i tried to turn on the "No build cost" but when i went back in it didnt work

[near furnace]

that one isn't sticky unless you set it

setkey NoBuildCost

that's the command for it

[fringe spruce]

ik you can fit 6 on a longship so theoretically that’s the amount but you can likely fit more since bigger

[next trench]

Hey, I’m new to the game, anyone wanna start a word with me?

[brazen linden]

#1024264966712340510

[heady parcel]

The total whiteout in the mountain blizzards is so well done. Maybe a little too well done since it strains my eyes so much I get a damn headache and need to sit down and wait for the weather to pass...

(Not complaining, I think it's awesome)

[unborn lava]

I had to join just to say It was my first time ever fighting bonemass and a 1 star troll came by and it became 2 bosses vs me

It was traumatising but I won

[compact cedar]

Woot new content

[heady parcel]

Good job. I did Bonemass last night and managed to aggro an abomination just at the start of the battle. Sure gave it some extra spice!

[tender swallow]

Has anything changed in Valheim in the way that multiplayer works?
Last I played with friends, once we got to about Mist levels of progression the game started to become unplayable due to networking.

[rugged mango]

The patchnotes don't mention where the bears spawn or did I miss it?

[lyric olive]

So how do i find the new content then? Is it in a specific biome? Thanks in advance

[tacit crystal]

Not mentioned, however, bears spawn in ||black forest||.

[tacit crystal]

New POIs will be generated in unexplored areas and mobs will spawn in previously explored areas too.

[rugged mango]

||Damn, that's very early. I thought the bear claws would be better. Wished for a better fist option than wolf claws.||

[tacit crystal]

||Venture further, there is next tier version for fist weapon too.||

[lyric olive]

Okay thanks how do I know where to look? Does the bird tell me?

[rugged mango]

Ah nice, thanks.

[tacit crystal]

Bird doesn't tell. But spoiler here: ||it's in meadows, in my experience in further from center||.

[lyric olive]

Okay thanks 🙂

We'll we'll take a look around

[tacit crystal]

||But also the bear claws are pretty good in that state, fares well even in early mountain state.||

[vast sandal]

||If you already have a world, with a lot built and explored, especially black forest - do Bears naturally spawn in those areas now, or do they ONLY spawn in undiscovered black forests?||

[tacit crystal]

Any new mobs will spawn in already explored areas too.

[vast sandal]

Great!

[robust token]

Awyeahletsgoooo

[unborn lava]

Any tips on how to flatten some space? I want to build a castle but it's so annoying

[spice lion]

I just got back into valheim a couple days ago and for the first time tried a couple mods out, does this patch break them automatically? i figure they would but dont know

[robust token]

Use the hoe

[weary egret]

Which biomes will have new structures generated in them from this new update? Only black forest?

[unborn lava]

cant use gifs ah :((

[tacit crystal]

Some might, some might not. Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[tacit crystal]

No embed rights to us, only for devs, mods and helpers of the server.

[unborn lava]

have this emoji then

[wicked relic]

[weary egret]

Like, will i miss out on anything if i play the new patch in an already explored world?

[tacit crystal]

Here #valheim-chat message

[rotund tundra]

I hate rocks

[vast jolt]

valheim beta finally official?

[hearty elm]

How big are the chances that we will get a bigger inventory? It's already not enough and with the new trinkets its getting even worse...

[robust token]

Tbh I think the slots are good enough

Just.. don't bring literally everything when you go venturing

[weary egret]

Which biomes?

Its ok if u dont know

[tacit crystal]

||Black forest for bear|| and ||plains during night for vile||.

[weary egret]

|| Do they get like a cave like trolls? ||

[tacit crystal]

I played during PTB.

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

[weary egret]

So || they dont spawn || in old generated terrain?

[hearty elm]

If you play as mage, you have 4 armor pieces, 5 or more staffs, 3 foods, 1-2 potions, 1 Megingjord and standard stuff like axe, pickaxe, etc.

Don't know which of those things I should leave at home...

[weary egret]

So || they dont spawn || in old generated terrain?

[odd helm]

They will

[weary egret]

So are there new generated structures or no i dont understand

[tacit crystal]

They spawn normally in old areas too.

[tacit crystal]

POIs will always generate in unexplored areas.

[shy marlin]

Is 2h sword secondary still at 1 adrenaline gained?

[weary egret]

Whats a POI is that a new thing?

[ionic iron]

Are Viles still friendly with Bears?

[proper cliff]

where are the achievements?

[tacit crystal]

POI means point of interest. Dungeons, ruins, spawners, resource locations etc.

[weary egret]

So theres new POIs on the new update besides the mobs that spawn anywhere?

[orchid locust]

just out of curiosity: are ||bears|| supposed to respawn always around the same area once you kill one of them?
I found at least two different ones that keep re-spawning after I kill them, always around the same area where I first encountered them.

I thought they'd be more like the trolls

[tacit crystal]

One new type of POI, yes.

[ionic iron]

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

[tacit crystal]

It's coincidence, they spawn randomly.

[ionic iron]

Editing wiki, anyone know if Viles are still friendly to bears?

[weary egret]

So meadows, ty

[orchid locust]

I mean... can you call it coincidence when one of them respawned four times already?

maybe because I'm playing with hardcore settings?

[tacit crystal]

I played during PTB, I've had one spot they're spawned quite regularly.

[orchid locust]

I'll just assume there are areas I should avoid, then

could try placing a bunch of torches around to prevent it from spawing, but heh...

[tacit crystal]

Try ||going there during night, when they can spawn with 2 stars||.

[orchid locust]

I wouldn't mind it too much on nornal settings, but on hardcore they have way too much health for me to keep running into them

I was already caught by surprise once and lost all my bronze gear - _-

[silk token]

keep in mind they are simple beasts, like boars

[blissful ibex]

Is it better to sail along the coastline of the black forest, or better to explore on foot when wanting a merchant?

[orchid locust]

yeah, I noticed they're very passive until you get to less than two meters from them

[orchid locust]

I'd say on foot, from my experience

[silk token]

meaning other things that boars share too not wanting to spoil or overshare

[orchid locust]

unless you're very lucky and you can spot him from the coast

[orchid locust]

yeah, I know what you refer to

[proper cliff]

where are the achievements?

[orchid locust]

true vikings embrace darkness, though

[blissful ibex]

Google says once ur within 300 meters it pops up on your map

Idk how far 300 meters tho in this game

[silk token]

hehe, then true vikings can have their legs eaten off

[orchid locust]

my bad, I was talking with hardcore in mind, since you don't really get a map 😂

[blissful ibex]

Im praying theres a close merchant

I have a decent lil bit saved up i want the thing that increases ur weight limit

Dont really wanna look up my seed and spoil it unless i really have to

[tacit crystal]

Wait until 1.0 update.

[blissful ibex]

I keep finding mountains near the black forests and i cant go there cuz its too cold

[orchid locust]

I think it's just slightly bigger than the normal area you "uncover" by going around?

[blissful ibex]

Im assuming theres a mead for cold resistance or something

[orchid locust]

I remember something like your discoverable area is 250m or so

take that with a grain of salt though

[weary egret]

A fifth of a mile, 1000 feet, 7.5 seconds with a 10 second car from fast and furious

[robust token]

Why so many staffs? 2 weapons are generally enough, you can leave materials gathering tools unless it's a material gathering trip

[blissful ibex]

I've never watched fast and furious

[blissful ibex]

The diameter? Or the circumference?

Cuz your discovery zone is a circle isnt it?

I've probably explored 600m give or take of the black forest, im losing hope

[weary egret]

I hear its better to sail along the coast

[orchid locust]

I would assume diameter, because circumference makes no sense here

then again, it's something I'm not sure of

[weary egret]

300 meters from shore reaches the half-way of most continents i noticed

[blissful ibex]

Halfway? Really?

So most continents are only 600 meters?

[weary egret]

From shore to shore, some continents are more fat

Or i was just lucky finding all my traders

[orchid locust]

I've found all my traders very inland...

[blissful ibex]

Hmmm

So guess its hit or miss

[orchid locust]

I'd say shorline is safest

[blissful ibex]

Theres more than 1 merchant per map right

Like the black forest merchant

Idk if there are other merchants but i assume so

[orchid locust]

and once you've completed the whole island's shorline, you can just cut it in half on foot to make sure you didn't miss him

[weary egret]

Theres || 3 || total

[tacit crystal]

Total number of traders is ||3||. Black forest one has larger area where he can spawn since black forest can be found even in edge of the world.

[blissful ibex]

So i can get unlucky and have an edge of the world merchant then..

[tacit crystal]

Sometimes it can be like that, depending on the seed.

[west mica]

Does this mean I can say the word bear here without being sent to the shadow realm

[tacit crystal]

Maybe.
-# Be wary tho.

[blissful ibex]

Guess i can only pray

[unborn lava]

I finally wanted to grab a 1 star boar for taming and he decided to go into the water and swam into the ocean and I never saw him again

do boars do that?

[ornate night]

Is it just me or did the new update cause serious load issues? I launched the game normally and its suddenly maxing my cpu down to 1fps

[hearty elm]

Why so many staffs? Because I'm a magician. I wanna cast all the spells all the time.

I actually don't want to equip/unequip stuff all the time so that I have space.

I don't see a reason why they shouldn't give us atleast another row in the inventory. We already have the weight cap. Don't think we need the slot cap too.

[regal thicket]

does anyone know if anything changed from last ptb in this public release?

[tacit crystal]

They're the same versions now, so no changes between them.

[regal thicket]

oh ok thanks

[rare path]

Yo how do i get my save out of the beta into main game now that call to arms is in main game

[azure yacht]

In other words: You inflicted your own problems on yourself...

[unreal bear]

It’s done, you did it. The ptb is the main game now

[azure yacht]

Punishing yourself when not necessary and blaming the game never stops being a wild take

[azure yacht]

By not doing anything

[west mica]

Also see, getting really good at the game and complaining its too easy

[tacit crystal]

Properties > Betas > switch version to "None".

[heady parcel]

Dunno if something has been made with Moder's pathing recently, but I just fought my first entirely glitch-free battle with her and it was a really cool fight. Also much more dangerous than I have given her credit for before...

[manic palm]

is the new update out on main valheim now?!?!

[plush umbra]

I'll keep all data from before still yeah??

[tacit crystal]

Yes, they are now same version so switching back to live is safe.

[plush umbra]

I got a vile trophy I'm not tryna lose lmfao I can barely find them mfs let alone get the trophies

[plush umbra]

Bet

[obsidian sandal]

Hello! Im pretty "new" to this game, i have about 100 hours on it and had it for like a year but have started all over again a few times. So ive only reached the elder, could i have some small tips?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[tacit crystal]

At least without mods it's safe, I've switched back already and can confirm there is no issues.

[manic palm]

WOO

[plush umbra]

Sweet I dont use mods 🙏💪

[merry pebble]

Ask away 😄 tho keep in mind that you might see some spoilers here

[plush umbra]

Although the backpack mod sounds pretty dang tempting

[obsidian sandal]

Haha yeah, maybe i shouldnt be here😆

[merry pebble]

We can and will try to keep it spoiler free as much as we can 😄
But dont look to much around here if you dont want them

[tacit crystal]

Have best equipment and foods possible and keep rested buff.

As non spoilery advice.

[zenith stone]

anybody down to play on new world?

[obsidian sandal]

You shouldnt get the bronze armor except for the helmet right?

I have troll and helmet

[merry pebble]

Depends if you want the few extra armor points in place of more mobility 🙂 really a personal choice, no wrong answer

If you already have troll armor and bronze helmet then no need to change

[obsidian sandal]

Alr

[plush umbra]

Do ur research on what mobs are weak to what and make sure ur using proper weapons vs proper mobs, also keep in mind, you cant take dmg if u dont get hit stamina management is key

[merry pebble]

Meh, research like this will almost always lead to spoilers

[plush umbra]

I didnt know skeletons were weak to blunt until I fought bonemass fr

[merry pebble]

Spoilers...

[plush umbra]

I'm sure he know what the bosses names are

[obsidian sandal]

No its alr i beat him with my cousin

I meant solo when i said the elder 😁

[merry pebble]

You can see if enemy is weak or not to majority of the dmg your weapon does by looking at the dmg numbers, grey its resistant, white its neutral and yellow its weak to the dmg

[plush umbra]

Oh ok never knew that one

[obsidian sandal]

I do know that trolls are like weak to atgeirs and skeletons with clubs, but i dont know anything else

[merry pebble]

Yeah, trolls pierce dmg and skeletons blunt 🙂

[weary egret]

I did ||swamp|| knowing the boss was weak to ||blunt|| without ever making a ||mace|| because swords just feel cooler and it was fine, although it was just normal dificulty

[plush umbra]

Updating nvidia drivers right now before I even try opening valheim after update

[obsidian sandal]

Alr im gonna leave now, you can talk abt the spoilers 😆

[plush umbra]

And installing

[tacit crystal]

You can search around https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[blissful ibex]

Is anyone bored and wanna do a big favor for me

[merry pebble]

Did you die and cant get your stuff? 😄

[blissful ibex]

I have the seed for my world, I'd like someone to look up the map for the seed and see where the black forest merchant is, dont tell me the exact location, just a hint. Like is it close to spawn, and is it inland, or near the coast

[merry pebble]

Can do

[blissful ibex]

P5WhHgigzk is the seed

[merry pebble]

Try to explore west a bit 🙂

[blissful ibex]

😭

I think thats the only side i didnt go

I did explore south west cuz the elder has a spawn there

Big ocean, did a lot of boating to get there

[merry pebble]

And i would believe that xD from what i can see there are not many close spawns in other directions

[blissful ibex]

Theres another north east, about the same ish distance for the elder

I found 2 somehow lol

Idek if im strong enough for that fight tho. Probs not.

Full lvl 3 troll gear and lvl 2 bronze helmet

[merry pebble]

Just sail west in roughly the same height you have spawn 🙂
You could also go south-west from spawn but it will be a tiny bit more chalenging

[obsidian sandal]

uhh just one thing

are bears hard

im standing infront of one

[merry pebble]

Around the same as trolls over all 😄

[obsidian sandal]

alr thanks

[tacit crystal]

Go find out.

[crisp harness]

Well that was fast. About 1-2 weeks of testing and it's out ... damn

[blissful ibex]

Trolls arent very hard so i guess that makes bears also not hard?

Are they easier than wolves then? Cuz i got REKT by a wolf

They did like 60 dmg to me nearly, 2 hits to kill

I didnt have the cauldron so my best food was deer at the time

[merry pebble]

Bears have more hp than a troll but less dmg 🙂

[blissful ibex]

Ahhh so... kinda harder ig

Trolls never hit me, they are too slow

I just arrow em to death

[white meadow]

It also depends on how good you are and the equipment

[blissful ibex]

Where do bears even spawn? The mountains?

[white meadow]

Black forest

[blissful ibex]

The only biomes I've seen are meadows, black forest and mountains

Oh.. so i could've encountered a bear

[white meadow]

Only in test servers till now

[blissful ibex]

Oh and oceans

[blissful ibex]

Oh they JUST got added? Shiiii. They have new meat i assume?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[white meadow]

Yes bear meat

[blissful ibex]

More options at the cauldron i hope too

[tacit crystal]

||Bearly any||.

[white meadow]

Or preparation tables maybe

[blissful ibex]

Idk what that is

Idk if i have it yet

[hearty elm]

100%
It just would be nice to have the option to play with a bigger inventory.
Maybe if they would give us the option in the world settings.
So everybody could play the way they want

[blissful ibex]

Yeah the inventory size as is, isnt very large

[white meadow]

Its where you cut fish and make fish bait for specific fish and higher dishes

[blissful ibex]

I assumed there was a bag or item that would increase it

[blissful ibex]

Ahh. I dont have fishing unlocked. Idk how

I assume i need string of some kind

[white meadow]

Black forest trader

[blissful ibex]

Ahhh. So head west

Hopefully he aint too far

I got around 3k gold to spend, a decent lil bit

[white meadow]

Its random for each world so I caint help there

[blissful ibex]

Enough for 2 of the weight belt things

[blissful ibex]

Someone else did, i gave em my seed

Ik they are west, dunno how far tho

[white meadow]

I got the belt, head light

[merry pebble]

Not far 🙂

And better yet, on coast

[blissful ibex]

Oooo so i should make a karve

Will be my first time making one

I've only used thr raft so far

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄 And just go straight west from spawn, you cant miss it really

[white meadow]

Raft is so slow

[blissful ibex]

Yeahh its not too fast

If u get the wind tho its decent

Nice and relaxing too

[white meadow]

I got reg boat and long boat

[blissful ibex]

I unlocked portals too

So I'll prob take enough to make 2, 1 at home, 1 at the trader

[white meadow]

Till the serpent wants ya

[blissful ibex]

I assume thats the strategy

[blissful ibex]

I havent encountered any snakey snakes yet

Havent done too much boating

[white meadow]

Yet

[blissful ibex]

Just enough to get close to one of the elders

Mead buffs are separate from food buffs i assume right?

[white meadow]

I got like 2 bosses left i think

Yes I think

[blissful ibex]

Like a mead doesnt take the slot of food

Idek how many bosses there are

I've only fought the deer

I assume theres 6 or so

[merry pebble]

Yes

[white meadow]

The summoning stones tells you

[merry pebble]

7 so far 🙂

will be 8 with Deep North

[white meadow]

Be cool if they added a bear boss

[blissful ibex]

I assume i find them like i did the elder, via dungeons

[white meadow]

Summoning stone is where you first start the game

[limpid smelt]

Can you tame the new bear with honey?

[white meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-sesame-street-shrug-idk-i-have-no-idea-gif-17243185

[blissful ibex]

Oh that shows all the bosses?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[white meadow]

Shows you who they are? Yes. Shows locations? Only for the deer boss

[merry pebble]

You get the locations marked on map by the vegvisirs, the one for Eikthyr is at spawn, and for most of the other bosses they are in dungeons from their respective biomes 🙂

[blissful ibex]

So theres 7ish biomes?

[merry pebble]

Currently there are 7 finished biomes, yes

• ocean which serves as a way to get them all

[weary egret]

7 biomes, 7 bosses, one more biome left to be released at least

[granite lion]

Can we tame bears? 😄

[light moat]

Nope!

[granite lion]

https://tenor.com/view/的9-gif-12565004940729182637

[fallow venture]

Bear mounts when?

[plush umbra]

They will eat blueberries off the ground tho!

[shadow void]

Can we tame Fader

[granite lion]

with a mod yes

[feral jasper]

One day we'll have bear mounts

and that day I'll be happy.

[shadow void]

I want to have fader mount

[west mica]

Imagine having a tamed Fader next to your base and he gets frightened...

[granite lion]

I had a abomination called fido once as a pet.

[shadow void]

Tamed Fader destroys your base while trying to kill a neck

[feral jasper]

Abominations can be really nice pets :p

[granite lion]

But like it would make sense, you can tame boars from medows, bears from blackforest, wolfs from mountain, loxes from plains

[shadow void]

I wonder how many eithyrs does it take to kill fader

[feral jasper]

Why not taming ghosts?

those would be awesome

[granite lion]

tameing deathsquidoes also is kinda fun, as long as they dont get hit

[feral jasper]

Oh, I disagree, I wouldn't like the buzzing around the base all day.

[granite lion]

This is true

[raven turtle]

I saw in a video that if you completely expose a silver vein, the entire vein will be destroyed during mining. Is that still possible?

[feral jasper]

if there's no snap point to the ground yes

[granite lion]

hit it in the middle

[feral jasper]

happens with every ore tho, copper works the same way if I'm not mistaken

[tacit crystal]

Copper nodes are much larger tho, so it's harder with them. Silver nodes are much easier.

[raven turtle]

Ok than i do something wrong

[feral jasper]

It's much easier to lure a blue log worker in those cases, yeah.

[granite lion]

-if- you can dogde 😛

[plush umbra]

Ive never had to use a troll or golem to mine what I need

[feral jasper]

Taming trolls when?

[plush umbra]

I honestly get confused why people need to do it

[granite lion]

So you can get finewood or corewood early game

[feral jasper]

early on the first pickaxe you get is kinda lame

[plush umbra]

Uh ya

Oak trees bro

[feral jasper]

it's much more effective to dodge a few times and get the whole thing broken into pieces

[plush umbra]

How's it lame it makes it so u can mine and not need a troll

There's not always troll caves next to ur metals

U always have a pickaxe somewhere

[raven turtle]

this only work if its the first hit myb?

[feral jasper]

I get lucky I guess, I just walk around and usually found a troll and a ore nearby

But that might be just me

[plush umbra]

Silver i can understand if u don't have wishbone yet using golem to find it and try to mine it but copper meh its not hard to just mine it out

[feral jasper]

I guess it's a matter of taste

I'd rather dodge the troll than mine

[tacit crystal]

Hit until something breaks.

[plush umbra]

The top of a rock or ore is its weak point

So when mining stand on top of it and mine it down

[odd summit]

Hey whats up! New here to this discord, I joined because someone told me that the update was launched, but on steam it says its a public test and you should backup your files before trying to play the new version. I'm wondering if anyone knows what is the best way to backup valheim files to play this new update

[feral jasper]

The update is releasing today, dunno if steam already updated the stuff

[raven turtle]

didnt work myb i have a double vein

[feral jasper]

nvm, it did

[tacit crystal]

The patch is live now, so no need to go PTB.

[feral jasper]

Just download the lastest version and you good to go

[raven turtle]

yeah 1 pops is a double vein.. 😄 Thanks!

[odd summit]

wait so if I start the game normally now, it just goes straight to the new update? I thought I would have to update the game on steam, like some automatic update but it didn't seem to "update" (where you can see it downloading and all)

[odd summit]

yea that might be it mate, didn't notice steam updating it

maybe later on the day

[plush umbra]

I'm playing it rn thru steam

[heady parcel]

Was probably done already. If unsure simply validate game files.

[tacit crystal]

When you launch the game you should see on the left side the update list, there should be new one.

[granite lion]

yea

[odd summit]

thanks mate

[hollow zodiac]

oh man the update dropped

[odd summit]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-thumbs-up-nice-nordic-gif-26158230

[hollow zodiac]

time to make those trinkets 😎

[odd summit]

ohh you guys are right it says on the bottom right 0.221.4 which seems to be it

thanks

[obtuse moon]

robux boy

if you give me an answer ill leave

[heady elm]

Hah

I was right

" Vertical fighting improvements, now easier to hit enemies in slopes! "

[feral jasper]

is it true?

[heady elm]

But no one believed me when I said it was coming

suckassssss

😛

[feral jasper]

Finally.

[humble zodiac]

FINALLY

[heady elm]

Yes indeed, finally

[humble zodiac]

necks will perish

[feral jasper]

Wolf packs won't kick my ass as much at night now.

[heady elm]

I remember posting a screenshot from a dev and this whole discord was like, nah it's fake this that blabla xD

Be happy that it wasn't fake! 🙂

[proper sundial]

guys why is my game generating the map I already played yesterday? has there been an unannounced patch?

[scarlet fossil]

you mean this announced patch? #valheim-patchnotes message

[open pecan]

If by unannounced you mean being announced for several months then yeah, it came out today.

[proper sundial]

oh my bad 😄 I assumed it goes on news and patchnotes is just extra details or soemthing. thanks guys

dope dope very dope. its live! have a good game yall!

[blissful ibex]

Sounds like i picked a good time to get back into the game

[fossil delta]

Yay! Its finally public! Looking forward to signing in and meeting bears and seeing all the combat fixes!

Plus discovering all the recipes for the new gear, meads and trinkets.

[plush umbra]

Time to hunt for ghost trophy

[fossil delta]

It finally has a trophy? Nice!

[hollow zodiac]

yo, has anyone confirmed that the new dungeon loot items are able to be found in worlds made prior to the update? Obviously in unloaded chunks of course haha

[fossil delta]

Its part of the game program proper now, so yes.

[hollow zodiac]

oh fantastic, thank you!

[fossil delta]

I'm told the bears are even in already explored BF areas.

[hollow zodiac]

I can confirm that

just schwacked one right now

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I'm playing with friends, and he ran into one this morning.

[hollow zodiac]

oh dang, did he survive?

[fossil delta]

Yep. He killed it as well.

[blissful ibex]

At least it sounds like this games bears arent as bad as 7dtd bears

[hollow zodiac]

oh god 7dtd

[blissful ibex]

Finding one of those early game is near guaranteed death

They have way too much HP

I tried getting back into 7dtd and they made a LOT of questionable changes. Idk what the devs were thinking.

[wise crystal]

do we need to start a new world for the udpate to take eeffect?

[hollow zodiac]

leave it up to the fun pimps to nerf every aspect of fun

[hollow zodiac]

nope!

[fossil delta]

Going to be fun fighting grey dwarves, trolls AND bears, I am sure.

[tacit crystal]

You can continue old world.

[wise crystal]

heck yeah thannk you!!

[blissful ibex]

The dwarf dudes arent too bad. The shamans and brutes SUCK tho

Bad loot too

[hollow zodiac]

from what I could gather so far, anything new that is tied to chest loot has to be in unexplored areas

[fossil delta]

Its the combo of all the above at the same time that I am looking forward to.

[hollow zodiac]

so like the training tools for example need to found in places you haven't been to before (which is going to suck if you explored the entire world haha)

I think that also applies to ghosts in dungeons too

[fossil delta]

Probably just need new tombs, since explored ones only respawn the yellow mushrooms.

[hollow zodiac]

yeah, I'm only finding mushrooms

[fossil delta]

So I found out seekers can now get into my meadows base. So now I need to make my walls even higher. Even though at this point, they are very easy to deal with. I just don't want monsters able to get inside my base.

[tacit crystal]

After defeating Queen they can spawn in other biomes during night.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Thats what I found out. I don't live off of the wiki.

[hollow zodiac]

we need some seeker zappers using the trader's lightning stones 😂

[plush umbra]

Not devs missing out on ectoplasmic bombs smh 😭

[blissful ibex]

Is there any point to ghosts

Cuz the few times I've seen and killed them, no drops

[plush umbra]

Coulda made like an ectoplasmic cape

[hollow zodiac]

they are required to make the training dummy, and yeah they occaisionally drop the material required in that recipe

[plush umbra]

An ectoplasmic spear

[hollow zodiac]

hopefully that doesnt spoil too much

[plush umbra]

But nah just the dummy

[fossil delta]

They apparently have a trophy now. So likely a 5% chance per, to get it.

[plush umbra]

Ive killed like 50 ghosts today no trophy yet

[tacit crystal]

Seeker zapper aka Himminafl?

[plush umbra]

I'm tryin

[hollow zodiac]

the himminafl but on a stick and that you can put outside

surely the ||dvergr|| have come up with such invention by now

[plush umbra]

Technically it is on a stick

[blissful ibex]

Does the trophy do anything

[hollow zodiac]

oh you're right, ok in this instance. A chain maybe

[fossil delta]

I've had ratios like that for a lot of the trophies. Golems, Rancid skeletons, and a few others.

[blissful ibex]

Training dummy?

So nothing too inportant

[plush umbra]

Took me like 200 golems I now own 2 trophies

[plain hollow]

Yo gng

[fossil delta]

No idea, haven't gotten one yet, so...

[hollow zodiac]

well if you dont have anyone to play with 24/7 then they are extremely important

[plain hollow]

how do the bow thingy work

[hollow zodiac]

the target?

[plain hollow]

Ye

[blissful ibex]

Bow thingy?

[fossil delta]

Literal target practice, from what I have read.

[blissful ibex]

Aint that what necks are for

[hollow zodiac]

From what I figured out, they're a way to train your bow skills, the upside of the archery target is that you can retrieve your arrows if they hit it. it also has a built in score system

[blissful ibex]

[hollow zodiac]

not sure if its confirmed but scoring a higher score rewards more xp

[fossil delta]

Time for me to sign in and discover new stuff. Later!

[plain hollow]

Yea my question was abt xp

[hollow zodiac]

ohhhhh

regardless hitting it rewards xp, just not sure if it gives you more if you hit the center or not

or if range matters too 🤷‍♂️

[thorn wren]

Anyone know how the anchor points work on the mistlands skulls with soft tissue in them?

I always have trouble getting them to explode, in contrast-- silver veins, very easy to pop

[hollow zodiac]

man, it'd be awesome if the bogwitch could sell blueberry bush seeds and such

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @tranquil pike That is the other new creature, named ||Vile||.

[craggy whale]

what is the long name of T.W.I.G

[tranquil pike]

cute.

[tacit crystal]

It's guesswork I guess.

[chrome badge]

You can set up fenced in areas with a portal chain for large patches of bushes, and just portal to each patch one after the other. Just have the final portal bring you back home.

[fresh charm]

Lmao
I bought the game yesterday, and update is today

[hollow zodiac]

true that, im just too lazy and demand copious amounts of blueberries for ratatosk potions haha

[blissful ibex]

There are blueberry bush seeds? I havent figured out how to make them

I have a cultivator, and blueberries

[hollow zodiac]

there isnt, im just throwing that out there as a suggestion. It would be awesome as hell though 😂

[floral sun]

Someone said they give a lot less exp than a real target. I haven’t tested it myself

[light moat]

#suggestions message

[hollow zodiac]

upvoting this

[light moat]

Just noticed your suggestion too

[hollow zodiac]

Should I delete it? lol

[light moat]

No not at all! Wasnt trying to come off as discouraging lol

[hollow zodiac]

oh nah, I was just more concerned about clogging the channel with repeat suggestions

[blissful ibex]

Ahhh so only way to get blueberries is harvesting in the wild?

[hollow zodiac]

yup

[azure yacht]

World settings are not the excuse for absolutely anything to be added.

Half of the "game issues" ANY game has are the players either missing the point or them inflicting them on themselves and whining about it

[blissful ibex]

May have to start marking those bushes, I assume they regrow berries after awhile

[hollow zodiac]

honestly skittering around getting blueberries is a decent way to train running so I guess it's alright

[chrome badge]

Foraging aspects should remain in tact imo

[bright cipher]

Anyone know what monster was overhauled?

[hollow zodiac]

ghost

[blissful ibex]

Seems silly to not have a seed for every fruit/veggie

[light moat]

They do, I usually mark bush clusters with 4 or more berries to collect.

[blissful ibex]

Makes sense

What do u use em for?

[bright cipher]

Ah thank you. Couldn't find a thing about what changed. Only the new mobs

[light moat]

I get why they don’t, they want foraging to have relevance. But damn those bushes look so nice

[blissful ibex]

I guess. Mushrooms already exist for that no?

[tacit crystal]

Mushrooms also respawn.

[light moat]

Yee, they do. Seems there are two categories; farm and forage. Carrots, turnips, etc in farming. Berries, mushrooms in foraging.

Technically you can farm these items by simply utilizing the bushes and building a farm around them?

I’ve done this before with thistle, it was kinda neat. Little thistle garden attached to my homestead.

[blissful ibex]

I havent found a use for thistle yet. I assume its either for meads, or something i havent unlocked yet

[chrome badge]

I always build my meadows base with a large raspberry bush patch inside.

It's just so handy

[tacit crystal]

They have lots of future uses. 👍

[crisp harness]

Damn. Why the bears so tanky ? I have bronze stuff and they take barely any damage, meaning a new player is just gonna get wrecked.

[light moat]

Good, introduce them to the brutality of Valheim

[blissful ibex]

How fast are they

My thinking was bows just like how i fight trolls

Maybe fire arrows

[tacit crystal]

They take bearly any damage, right?

[blissful ibex]

But that goes out the window if they are fast af

If i bear one more bear pun i might blow up a pack of cubs

[light moat]

They’re fast, but they tend to have a hard time navigating, sort of like trolls. As long as you manage your positioning well, you can stay pretty safe.

[tacit crystal]

But in serious note they have some resistances against certain physical damage types.

[ember bolt]

the trick to fight bears is to use || not gona tell you, see the wiki|| against them :o

[fresh charm]

Ooh there's physical damage types?
I assume like, cutting, piercing, blunt

[mossy lance]

it says when you look at a weapon

[ember bolt]

slashing, Blunt, Pierce

[fresh charm]

Knew it

[ember bolt]

full list of damage types:
Physical
Blunt
Pierce
Slash
Elemental
Fire
Frost
Poison
Spirit
Lightning
Terrain
Chop (Woodcutting)
Pickaxe (Mining)
Pure

[proper sundial]

cool! bear surfing just dropped. much safer than lox surfing as they dont have aoe attack

[tacit crystal]

Slash, blunt and pierce. Different weapons deal different damage types, which some mobs can be weak or resistant against too.

[fresh charm]

Cool!!

[tacit crystal]

Actually, they do have 1 AoE attack.

[blissful ibex]

The key to beating all the bosses is ||not dying||. Once you master this you ||wont die||. Simple really

[proper sundial]

doesnt seem to have hitbox reaching its backside/neck

[ember bolt]

that gives you opportunities to experiment with what is best for each mob

[prime moth]

is there a post of all the charm recipies and effects?

[ember bolt]

yes, let me fetch for you

[tacit crystal]

When you hit an enemy with your weapon you can sometimes notice different colored damage numbers, they indicate if the enemy takes normal damage (white), is weak (yellow) or resistant (grey) against that damage type of your weapon.

[ember bolt]

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

[prime moth]

thank you!

[tacit crystal]

Probably not that large AoE.

[prime moth]

dang these trinkets are sick

i love this update wow

[ember bolt]

i have yet to try my first one :x

[prime moth]

i just love that some of the useless trophies have a purpose now

[steel mica]

Bear

[tacit crystal]

But most importantly: BATTLEAXE ENJOYERS REJOICE!

[steel mica]

[steel mica]

Buff?

[tacit crystal]

||2 new battleaxes and ms penalty lowered from -20% to -15%||.

[steel mica]

ONLY thing I know of in this update are the bears really

[prime moth]

also the heavy slow weps attack faster now right?

[steel mica]

hot diggity dawg thats amazing

[tacit crystal]

Animation hasn't changed.

[nocturne wolf]

No, but you can move faster while holding a tower shield, sledgehammer or battleaxe

[prime moth]

ahhhh gotcha

[steel mica]

||2 new battle axes|| 👀

[crisp harness]

Does the range of the practice targets matter or no ?

[steel mica]

count me in

[azure yacht]

No

[plush umbra]

Kinda wish battle axes had a middle move

The 2 new fist class weapons are sick tho

[light moat]

A secondary attack?

[plush umbra]

You have ur left click ur right click and middle click on ur mouse, axes have no middle click

[prime moth]

....is there a plains vendor now?

[plush umbra]

Battle axes I mean

[light moat]

Battleaxes have a middle click attack, it’s the quick pommel jab 🤔

[prime moth]

nvm my map and perspective were just weird

the clothing lady spawned like right on the edge of the plains lol

[light moat]

The two-handed axe, right?

[plush umbra]

Ohhh ur right

[prime moth]

super excited to use these

[light moat]

Mauls/sledges are the only melee weapon I think that don’t have secondary attacks 😁

[plush umbra]

Sadly

They do not

[tacit crystal]

Gotta say new fist weapons have been great addition too. 👊

[plush umbra]

Yeah

[tacit crystal]

Slowly increasing towards to be some new favorite weapon types in game.

[plush umbra]

To bad they didnt do a mistlands variant using mandibles

Missed opportunity

[obtuse moon]

ghosting me

[worldly chasm]

Why do we need to spend more iron for plains armor

[light moat]

Probably just to shake things up and break up the game a bit. I don’t tho there’s an in-depth reason.

[hearty niche]

... did that change in patch?

[fossil delta]

Bears sure do have a ton of HP. Not looking forward to running into a bear and a troll at the same time. 😄

[worldly chasm]

No I just hit the plains and realize you need to spend more iron instead of black metal

[hearty niche]

Yeah they were really dumb at first but in this recent patch their navigation abilities are greatly improved.

I had one chase me back to my camp yesterday

[fossil delta]

Kind of shocked we don't get a bear rug. 🙁

[nocturne wolf]

It needs a trophy (10% drop rate)

[fossil delta]

I haven't got a trophy yet, maybe the bear rug gets unlocked with a trophy, because the trophy is part of the rug?

[nocturne wolf]

The trophy has three uses it should be more common

[hearty niche]

I swear I had to kill 30 bears to get 1 trophy.

[fossil delta]

Thats RNG for ya.

The odds sound good, until you experience them.

[shy marlin]

Anybody else love gambling for bear trophies 🎰

[light moat]

Troll trophy is 50% drop rate? 🤔
Could see bear at like 25%

[plush umbra]

Do skelly spawners spawn ghosts

If I just farm this thing will ghosts show up

[prime moth]

cultist trophy is the bane of my gameplay

[fossil delta]

It is? Doesn't seem like 50%. Definitely feels higher than 5 or 10, though. Good thing, though. My wife loves her baits. 😄

[fossil delta]

They didn't before. Maybe now?

[plush umbra]

I'm starting to think not

[light moat]

Ghosts don’t have any associated spawner currently

[fossil delta]

Just another reason to look forward to the raid. Wraith and ghost trophies are possible.

[plush umbra]

Ive got like 5 wraith trophies

I got 0 ghost trophies

[fossil delta]

To be fair, we have only had a few hours within which to get ghost trophies.

Outside of PTB.

[plush umbra]

And ive killed like 20 ghosts and no trophy

[fossil delta]

RNG can suck. A lot.

I've been playing for years, and I bet if I totaled all of the wraith and golem trophies from ALL of my characters/worlds, I doubt I'd have 20.

Of each.

[nocturne wolf]

They also have a 10% drop rate

[fossil delta]

OK, I'd probably have 20, so lets go with 40.

[plush umbra]

I get cultists trophies at a better rate

This is like tryna get another fenrir trophy ngl

[fossil delta]

We run into a lot more cultists at one time. So you get a lot more checks.

[versed temple]

I got one this morning on my first crypt on a very hard combat game.

[plush umbra]

I got 1 fenrir trophy out of maybe the 1000 ive killed

[plush umbra]

Smh

[blissful ibex]

LETS GOO GAMBLINGGG

[cold garnet]

Heey. How difficult would it be, for Valheim to also possess a skill progression for "Lift strenght"? like. Each level getting you extra 5, and making you pull cart better, too?

[fossil delta]

Solo monsters are a lot harder to get trophies for. Far fewer checks. Except Abominations,. Again, another bait trophy as well.

[nocturne wolf]

There's already the run skill which makes pulling a cart easier

[fossil delta]

You need to make trails for carts.

[azure yacht]

anything that increases movement speed*

[cold garnet]

How? Considering you can't ever fill all the slots in the cart with ore without becoming stuck in place?

[plush umbra]

I feel like I get a abom trophy 9 times out of 10

[azure yacht]

by sprinting

[nocturne wolf]

You can put more ore without becoming stuck, even if you can't completely fill it

[plush umbra]

Troll mead is great for mining

[azure yacht]

and the weight penalty has a limit. There will never be a case where the cart literally cannot be moved

[fossil delta]

Again, use the hoe, and make yourself a flat path for pulling carts.

[plush umbra]

Ehhhh I wouldn't say that, ive seen em get so stuck in had to break it and re build

[nocturne wolf]

There's no limit but it never reaches 0% speed because that would need infinite weight

[plush umbra]

Up a hill with full cart good luck

[azure yacht]

that's what i meant. You will always be able to move the cart no matter how much weight it has

[fossil delta]

Yeah, even with the hoe, you can only make a hill so flat, then tough luck.

[plush umbra]

Yepp

[fossil delta]

Its why I stopped making my bases on high ground. So I could pull carts around easier.

They do go up the stone steps well enough. So I get around the high hills that way.

I think I still had to do only a half full cart, though.

[silk token]

i like my bases a little high up so i can build a basement, i put my smelters and workbenches on a lower tier so i don't have to go running in place for 2 minutes to make it up the stairs

[versed temple]

Oh, I am a logistics nerd when it comes to storage and laying out my base.

[feral jasper]

Hey peeps, anyone free to do me a solid?

[empty dagger]

I'm so excited for the next major update!!! Keep it going Iron gate

[fossil delta]

Well, the next major update is 1.0 and the North. So....

[prime moth]

exciting

maybe ill find modor before then

[fossil delta]

If you have yet to beat Moder, take your time. 1.0 probably isn't until next year.

[mint parrot]

Is there a release Date for deepnorth?

[prime moth]

im jokin, im on run 17 of trying to do a hardcore to the final sword

this modor in particular is avoiding me

furthest ive gotten so far was yagluth lol

[merry pebble]

Not yet, no.

[vagrant bison]

Devs have said when it's ready and it won't be this year.

[prime moth]

was there always a dodge skill?

[vagrant bison]

It's new with this update.

[nocturne wolf]

It reduces dodge stamina down to 50%

[prime moth]

oh well i found yagluth looking for modor lol

silver lining

[orchid locust]

uh... I accidentally converted four pieces of copper ore into tin ore... but I'm not sure how I did that

[fossil delta]

I'd say that glitched.

[orchid locust]

I'm pretty sure it has to do with chests and the way stack splitting works, but I'll have to come back to this after dinner

[barren jacinth]

is there going to be a deep north PTB ?

[fluid plank]

i wouldnt rule it out, but deep north is so 2026

[lusty onyx]

My game crashed when i bought from the bogwitch

[open rampart]

Does a new server need to be created for the update or will bears and junk spawn on already explored lands?

[merry pebble]

You can play on old world 🙂

[open rampart]

beautiful, thanks

[tacit crystal]

Mobs will spawn also in explored areas. POIs will generate in unexplored areas.

[mossy cave]

good update?

tuff

[tawny crane]

Anyone else having a problem of their houses taking weather damage in the new update? even when the house is fully roofed?

[tacit crystal]

There is really no estimated timeline for it tho, so guessing doesn't help too much.

[merry pebble]

They said no updates planned for end of the year 😄

[tacit crystal]

Not encountered that during PTB, modded or vanilla?

[unreal bear]

I’d have to find the interview I watched to get the exact words they used- but devs did give their timeline that isn’t my guess

[tawny crane]

Vanilla, most recent update

[unreal bear]

This happened during bogwitch update and they found ways to fix it. Might be a resurfacing of that same bug maybe?

[supple solstice]

considering the time between the mistlands and ashlands was about a year and 5 months, I doubt it would be any less for the deep north especially considering it is the full 1.0

[orchid locust]

something tells me DN isn't ver1.0 ...

[merry pebble]

Devs tell us it is 😄

[orchid locust]

isn't the cureent version like... 0.2?

[supple solstice]

I do estimate it will likely be early 2026 tho

[fluid plank]

do bears not have a weakness

[orchid locust]

I mean, sure, it's just a number

[merry pebble]

The numbers are not to track progress/how close we are to 1.0 😄

[tacit crystal]

I think you might need to rebuild the roof to "fix" it. I'd recall that was required when it occured during Bog Witch PTB.

[orchid locust]

they are beasts of nature, you can guess what they don't like

[fluid plank]

roger roger

[trail pelican]

rush hour traffic?

[orchid locust]

as for actual weapons, slash damage seems to be the least awful one

little did I know to not punch it

[opal verge]

Guys I just got to the Mistlands (im a fairly new player), should I wear the root chest piece as the seekers deal pierce damage or am I fine with full padded armour?

[tacit crystal]

Weak to ||fire||, normal against ||slash||.

[trail pelican]

it's a very popular enduring choice even that late for the pierce resistance to be sure--you will want to carry fire resist pots

[opal verge]

later when I unlock the feather cape, will I be fine with both root chest piece and feather cape when I drink a fire potion?

[tacit crystal]

You'd be fine with either option, as 2/3 of Seeker attacks deal pierce and ticks deal fully pierce, but then you're weak against fire.

[mental rampart]

so far all I see bears doing is running back and forth. Just standing by a tree will confuse them it seems...

[trail pelican]

yes, essentially potions 'override' the week/very weaknesses--so you're actually not just negativing a weakeness or very weakness to "normal" but gettign "very resistant" to fire damage while it's active

[supple solstice]

I like to use the fenris armor since getting hit by enemies in the mistlands is typically a bad idea anyways, might as well have the mobility to get away if I need to

[opal verge]

Alright thanks @trail pelican @tacit crystal

[supple solstice]

padded is super annoying in the mistlands with all the vertical running you need to do

[fluid plank]

yeah they seem to be confused about their existence

[supple solstice]

although maybe with the new update vilebone may be a good choice 🤔

[merry pebble]

I am not surprised if they were 😄 for the longest time we thought they will never be in game

[unreal bear]

I’ll often wear heavy helmet because it adds armor but not movement reduction. Then a lighter chest piece like Fenris lvl 4 maybe. And then heavy boots. So 2 pairs heavy armor and only 1 item reduces movement speed

[supple solstice]

I would do things like this more often if fashion wasn't so dearly important to me

[unreal bear]

Lol the black fenris chest piece kinda goes fine with most sets

[tacit crystal]

Heavy helmet, Root Harnesk and ||Vilebone legs|| new drip. 💅

[supple solstice]

maybe I haven't tried it

[unreal bear]

I didn’t do the beta this time. I’ll have to check out the new armor stuffs

[tacit crystal]

Fenris chest and Wolf greaves look nice.

[supple solstice]

has anybody tested the efficacy of ||vilebone armor|| in the mistlands?

[tacit crystal]

Probably nice, haven't gotten that far in my current new run I started during PTB.

||+20% pierce bonus|| with Spinesnap seems also pretty nice, plus they look cool together.

[worldly chasm]

Does the Greydwarf Farm still work

[merry pebble]

Nothing should be changed about them

[west mica]

I spent 2 hours checking like 10 burial chambers for ghosts/ectoplasm then got 6 all in the same dungeon, god is not here

[granite tide]

So close to the deep north 🥹 I’m ready

[wicked quarry]

If I use a fire arrow in a drauger bow, does it do both fire and poison?

[west mica]

Yes

[shadow void]

Since the old worlds aren't compatible with new patches, would it be better to start from scratch once a new major patch hits

[merry pebble]

They are compatible tho

[west mica]

How old are we talking? Any areas you havent been to should generate with any new stuff thats been added, and new mobs will spawn anywhere where they normally can do

Even if you visited that area before

I went to multiple old black forrests today and there were many bears

[prime moth]

uh oh i think i got the classic modor surrounded by mistlands

[merry pebble]

Ooof, tough luck, do you think you can find one of the other 2 altars?

[prime moth]

yeah i probably should

esp doing hardcore lol

[shadow void]

Hmm i see

[mossy cave]

what is the main updates points?

[dark coyote]

you guys are getting updates?

[tacit crystal]

Found here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506

[fossil delta]

OK, finally got the bear trophy. Far and away my favorite rug in the game. 😄

Oh, thats awesome! You can sit on its head! 😄 😄 😄

[tacit crystal]

Btw weren't you tower shield user? Did you check something out of them yet?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, if you mean the lower penalty. Haven't noticed anything else. I am up to the skull shield in this world.

Blocking seems a little faster too. Not sure about that.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah lower ms penalty I was pointing out. All of them having the same as Flametal tower shield.

[dark coyote]

tower shields for sure need a poise damage reduction, or whatever its called here

[merry pebble]

Stagger 🙂

[upbeat crypt]

Hello, I don't dig out silver veins, I just mine them as I find them

[near furnace]

we have said no such thing

[near furnace]

you're correct. it's just a number. we could use version 200989034580.1.BC if we wanted it

[native gate]

Greetings fellow Norsemen, I humbly ask the following, Do I need to make a new world OR will the new creatures spawn in my current ones?

[tacit crystal]

No need to make new one, they spawn in old worlds too.

[merry pebble]

The cratures will spawn even in areas you have alraedy been in 🙂
New PoIs tho will need newly generated pieces of world

[native gate]

So anyting undiscovered might contain new wonders?

[merry pebble]

There is only 1 new structure really 🙂 and some new things will only appear in newly generated chests.

[vernal moth]

is it just me or is the wood sword the only new wood weapon that is showing up at the crafting bench?

[merry pebble]

That is correct 🙂 that is the only one that you can craft yourself

[maiden trellis]

Do the other wooden weapons need to be found in areas you have not explored?

[upbeat crypt]

yes

[maiden trellis]

Okay ty

[austere kestrel]

Will my new world I created like two week ago have the call to arms update or will i need to make a new world to see it?

[shy marlin]

Should be fine on current world

[austere kestrel]

ok, i'll just have to see

[tacit crystal]

It will, once you open your world it will generate the new PoIs there.

[austere kestrel]

thank you

[dark coyote]

does ||exploremap || affect this?

[merry pebble]

Nope

It just reveals the map, doesent generate anything 🙂

[prime moth]

dang the 2nd modor is also in the mistlands lmao

[merry pebble]

Look around if completely surrounded too, would be really bad luck if thats the case xD

[tacit crystal]

I think some worlds can have only 2 Moder altars.
