[timid wind]

I found some leaks about PlayStation and Switch, so when I see 2026 on ps- I guess its a hope

[merry pebble]

Leaks?

[tacit crystal]

There is nothing official about Nintendo/Switch, the trailer released this day showed only for the PS release in 2026.

[timid wind]

Yes, I know, but I found some unofficial information

[tacit crystal]

Which remains unofficial until Iron Gate makes it official.

[merry pebble]

So people just pulling stuff out of their behind most likely...

[silk token]

it would be incredibly unprecedented for a game to be available on PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, AND Nintendo. The only game like that I can think of is maybe Minecraft? It’s actually nothing small to make something available on a different platform, there’s work and programming and stuff.

[azure yacht]

unofficial info = irrelevant info

literally the only info that matters is the one that comes directly from IG

[ember panther]

So if the game is coming out to PS in 2026.... does that mean deep north?

[cosmic summit]

Anyone have some nifty builds using the newly item rack placeable surtling and black cores?

[merry pebble]

It means that it will come to PS in 2026, nothing more, nothing less 🙂

[shy marlin]

Does PS allow EA games?

🤔

[near tangle]

I think there will be some news about something new at the end of the month, coinciding with the Tokyo Game Show. That's what they said when they announced Call to Arms.

[rain flare]

Apparently not
At least, not typically

[ebon atlas]

Hi o/

[rain flare]

I’m not sure about anyone else, but do you guys get really excited whenever there are new animated snipets in these trailers? 🤭😂🤩

[ember panther]

Is call to arms still in beta?

[neon magnet]

No

[queen thicket]

I came up w/something where I put a vulture egg in the back left, then surt in the middle, torment soul on the back right, back core front left, and molten core front right, then I placed 3 celestial feathers under then in a spread pattern, looks really good

[prime moth]

first fortress on the hardcore run

guess i should spend like half an hour prepping it first

[prime moth]

it's here and it's awesome 🙂

[rain flare]

You know what I think…
I think that all these amazing animated snippets are going to be put together into a movie or something that will be released alongside or soon after Valheim proper 🤩🤩🤩

It’s just SUCH and epic story that they’ve put together at iron gate

I can’t imagine it going to “waste” by just sitting on a YouTube channel somewhere 🙏

[rain flare]

Rule 1 in Valheim:

preparation preparation preparation is key

[shy harbor]

Rule 1 in valheim is bum rush and corpse run until you make it

[jovial marsh]

Glad PlayStation players are getting this but I think a port to the Switch 2 would be a no-brainer.

[prime moth]

not if i only have one life. best part is keeping my skill gains the whole way

[cosmic summit]

Is it a nest? I've been using them as decorative lights

[queen thicket]

Not a nest, just a knick-knack decoration, I put them in my magic rooms/buildings, or in libraries, or trophy rooms

[gaunt sable]

paws of bear bis

[rain flare]

RIP all your skill points 😅

[eternal blade]

Hmm....do I get XP for every creature hit by the staff of embers' AoE, or just the first?

[tacit crystal]

Same amount of xp no matter how many targets you hit at once.

[eternal blade]

damn. I was hoping for a more effective XP farm by making a bunch of TWIGs very close together

[spark parcel]

Wait, Valheim wasn't on Playstation for all these years?
Only PC and Xbox?

[tacit crystal]

Hitting multiple targets at once grant bit more adrenaline tho.

[eternal blade]

I don't think that'll offset the XP/eitr ratio that's in favor in staff of frost

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but wasn't it Ember staff in question?

IIRC one hit with Frost staff grant 0,2 xp, while Ember grants 1 xp.

Right, seems like Frost staff would still be bit more eitr cost efficient way to level than Ember staff.

[subtle perch]

Hi!

[cosmic summit]

How does blood magic xp work?

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_magic_(skill)#Leveling_Up 🙂

[ember panther]

Skellets get you the most xp when they attack and I think having a bubble break also earns some exp. So bubble your skillets and let them cook

[delicate laurel]

I am very curious to see how the Story of the winter child unfolds. I hope it didn't end with them being burned to death

[prime moth]

those giant frost walker guys in the release vid are terrifying lol

i understand now why people were saying eren jager

[cosmic summit]

Einherjar?

[maiden tartan]

Ngl

TWIG sounds kinda stupid

Battle brother was muuuuch bettee

[cosmic summit]

Ok

[prime moth]

valkyrie almost wiped me

holy dang they do a lot of dmg

[ember panther]

They look like the Hoth units lol

[trail pelican]

SPECIALLY if you can't part with feather cape and forget to pop your barley wine

[prime moth]

oooouphe

no it was the claw attack that was getting me

[maiden tartan]

Sometimes I wish the game had vanity armors

Silver helmet is too good to pass on

[prime moth]

it is very cool

[maiden tartan]

Also

Bear helmet is low-key nice

[vital umbra]

thats some real fascinating news..great spoilers 🤠

[maiden tartan]

Okay so which part of the game did we spoil you

[vital umbra]

talking about the news news

isn't everyone just soo hype about it

[maiden tartan]

About what

[vital umbra]

well the games coming to playstation!!!!!!

[maiden tartan]

I don’t care, really

[vital umbra]

i know

[maiden tartan]

That’s not going to change anything for solid 80% of players

[vital umbra]

to think i was so excited about the news

[maiden tartan]

More like 90

[vital umbra]

like brutha............

[light moat]

Still cool though, even if it doesn’t affect me in any way.

[vital umbra]

i guess news is the only role that makes sense to ping but 😩

[maiden tartan]

Like, I am not trying to be rude or anything but

It does not affect me or my friends so I don’t really care

It’s cool that PlayStation people get to play, sure

Not bothered by it, though

[vital umbra]

theres a fraction of me that cares because i don't like microsoft or by extension xbox, and always owned a playstation, but really i am a pc gamer

[maiden tartan]

Good for you

[vital umbra]

still not as bad as when there were like half a dozen news pings for the stupid rock

[light moat]

Game being more accessible = more players = broader community

I think it’s great, even as a PC player. I don’t see any reason to be upset about the news 🤔

[maiden tartan]

I am not upset, what

All I said is that I don’t care

Good for the ps players
For me nothing changed though

[trail pelican]

how DARE you slander rocky like that

[maiden tartan]

Rock

[vital umbra]

i do dare 🧙‍♂️

[light moat]

Rocky was an amazing addition 😂

[maiden tartan]

Rocky is awesome, can’t disagree with that

[vital umbra]

four pings for a pet rock

[silk token]

rocky makes every day exciting

maybe today i'll find one to love and call my own

[high hinge]

Returning/newish player here. Can fist builds be viable end game? I just started making bronze and managed to, admittedly cheesed, kill a couple bears and wanted to make the new armor but wasn't sure if it was worth

[tacit crystal]

Both armor and claw weapon are really nice. 👌

[silk token]

^i saw this man delete a lox in 2 seconds with new fist weapons

it might've been 1.5 seconds

[high hinge]

So would you say they'd be able to hold up in the end game just fine compared to other weapon choices? I'm a bit silly with this, but I like to dedicate to a specific class/weapon early in whenever I play a game and I remember up till this update fists weren't an option period really

[tacit crystal]

Well, it's there. #memes-and-clips message

[silk token]

yeah. lol. that's disgusting. i tried to recreate that with a spear which they're vulnerable to and didn't come close

[tacit crystal]

Well, highest tier fist weapon is from Plains, but it fares well in Mistlands and Ashlands too, in my experience. 👍

[tacit crystal]

Not vulnerable/weak but takes normal damage from pierce. ☝️

[silk token]

oh is it just resists slash and blunt? my brain sometimes

[fair cairn]

do boars not spawn with no trees, but a 2 star litterally spawned with no trees around, like seriously all im getting at deer
do i seriously need to import a random boar from the mainland to start breeding boars

[tacit crystal]

And resist cold, weak against fire tho.

[silk token]

honestly i've never been such a savage paul bunyon and deleted every tree on an island, that's some new player game thirst that impresses me

[fair cairn]

i cleared the island cause its a perfect place for a farm and found a random 2 star boar that spawned in after clearing all of the trees

[silk token]

whenyou say island how big? i saw your pic of your flattened walled base and iwas like wowza that's huge, so i imagined you actually cleared like a continent XD

[azure yacht]

#valheim-patchnotes

[fair cairn]

new screenshot of island uploaded

[silk token]

ok that's not as huge as i thought, that's not crazy to cut trees, you're going to be drowning in food if you plant that whole thing though. i'm currently planting in this little like .. shorter than a longboat wide area

[prime moth]

are any variations of the nidhogg better than mistwalker in ashlands?

[silk token]

oh idk if anyone said this, dont forget to build a crafting table inside your farm walls to keep things from spawning or something will smash eveyr single crop

[silk token]

i personally love the thunder variant for great damage, nothing with frost that slows things though

[fair cairn]

in hindsight it couldve been my base area but hindsight is 20/20
either way, not the whole island, just half of it maybe, not even, honestly i just wanted a flat area and found the island and took it

[silk token]

it was a cool idea

[tacit crystal]

Many people like iolite version, but jade version can work well too.

[prime moth]

i just made the jade mace, i remember liking that thing for crowd control

[merry pebble]

[prime moth]

the knockback + stun chance is sick

[hearty niche]

wooooo "I don't have PC or xbox" is no longer a valid excuse to not play Valheim

[silk token]

ive found enemies do way less damage when you give them the dead status effect XD

[hearty niche]

or soon'ish will no longer be

[tacit crystal]

Safety brick on stick.

[silk token]

but yeah booping with mace > soldiers

[prime moth]

staff of the wild with klossen feels kinda gross too

i think the staff of the wild takes precedent over the fire staff right

[silk token]

staff of wild is nuts

[hearty niche]

Today is my 4 year Valheim'aversary. I had picked it up in February 2021 like so many others but didn't give it a proper try until H&H came out. Steam says I have nearlt 3500 hours into it now.

[tacit crystal]

Playing ping pong with the roots.

[silk token]

holy. i thought I played a lot

[hearty niche]

I think some of it - I was trying to help them find a weird bug in xbox crossplay early on and had left an instance of Valheim running on my PC screen intermittently paused for a couple weeks.

[tacit crystal]

Almost in 3,2k.

[prime moth]

im a little over 1k now

[fossil delta]

Over 4,700.

[fair cairn]

i found all of the boars ive been waiting for, litterally just across the gap between the islands, can barely reach it with honey and mushrooms for stamina

[full garnet]

did they change how and where Haldor spawns?

[tacit crystal]

Same as ever. 👍

[full garnet]

hmm... I ran our seed through that map website, and we went to one of the suggested spawn sites, and nothing happened.

[shy harbor]

Then it’s not on that site

[trail pelican]

I IMAGINE--though, I suspect the chance is PROBABLY low given I don't know of any reason/announced changes that Haldor spawns would be affected--the recent patch MAYBE disrupted the seed map to generate correct results? otherwise the only explanation for that I could come up with is somehow having spawned already somewhere in one of the possible spots in that world

ALTHOUGH, looking at it now, SAYS should be the same version as CtA live

0.221.4

[full garnet]

yea, ah well, we will try the different sites.. juist thought he would spawn the first site 🙂

[trail pelican]

it SHOULD work to where there's 10 (i think) potential sites in any given seed and he spawns the FIRST you come close enough to--but it's not always obviously visible if you just pass by the edge of spawn range I think, I'm not sure you'll even get the icon necessarily if you're far enough away, and certainly not fog reveal, but it still may spawn him, not 100% on the range

[fathom gulch]

Are there any mods that make placing items in chests in the same spot every time easier?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[covert yarrow]

@slate kayak

[gray sand]

So if I take the art from #news literally... Montilyet runs the vomiting sniper build 😏

[fossil delta]

They are supposed to spawn at the first of the sites you come to. However, that site is not always correct. I was told it comes down to version of Valheim your checking with, and if they sites version has been updated since the last version of Valheim, etc... Regardless, I have not used that site since it gave me wrong info about 3 years ago. I just explore the given world until I find them.

[prime moth]

ok so modor buff, wolf suit, ask cape, swamp pots. any other things that can boost speed?

[merry pebble]

Nimble anklet

[prime moth]

mmmmmm yeah

what weapon would this build be fun with

[fossil delta]

I've been thinking about that. Just not at a point where I want to spend the iron on it just yet.

[merry pebble]

Knives

[prime moth]

that would make sense

what's the highest level knife there is?

[merry pebble]

Skoll and hati

[neon magnet]

Taming boars... guess I'll level up sneak in the meanwhile

[gray sand]

Giant hammer.

[cyan shore]

Can anyone share their settings on the steam deck for the game please?

My game runs like shit

All low settings and 65% render scale

60fps and stutters down to 30 all the time

[wicked quarry]

If I have been launching in play test version, is it safe for me to launch release version and still continue play?

[jaunty mist]

threre arent many settings you should change but a sec ill get it

[merry pebble]

Yep, the ptb and live version are the same currently 🙂

[neon magnet]

When in doubt, save a backup though

[fair cairn]

@proud burrow those stones you see are from iirc a old and scrapped way to teleport around the map

[merry pebble]

They used to be a challange places i believe 🤔 there should be some videos on youtube from beta (or alfa even?) still

[fair cairn]

also the seed is "B33s4LifS"

[proud burrow]

thank you 💜

[fair cairn]

also im not sure how to make windows in this barn with out giving frakes or anything airborne easy like shooting boars in a barn type of situation

[jaunty mist]

sent you a picture of the settings i use in private message since we can't post pictures here

[wintry portal]

would anone be able to help me recover my stuff? i keep getting killed by a mosquito

[turbid tartan]

guys can we please get a fix on PlanBuild mod since new update this is now broken i cant place builds

[silk token]

pro top dodge INTO the mosquito's attack

[jaunty mist]

shoot them down with a bow ^^

[wintry portal]

i havent played in a while so i forgot how to dodge. ive lost my bow so i cant shoot. and i have to run through a swamp to get there

[jaunty mist]

or throw a spear .. but thats just me cause i dont like to spend time crafting arrows

[wintry portal]

on top of my stuff im also trying to retreaive my boat from the same spot as well

[azure yacht]

now that i think about it, i should be renamed to "#1 Raid Despiser"

[neon magnet]

Turn them off? 🙂

[shy marlin]

Not really a good defense, it’s like rather than actually cleaning the room you push it all under the bed

[plush umbra]

My wolf "Sif" just died due to a bat invasion :((

[prime moth]

is it possible to get lv 6 black forge?

[gray sand]

No.

There are only 4 upgrades, bringing you to lvl 5.

Cooler, Vice, Metal Cutter, Gem Cutter.

[fossil delta]

I wonder if they will stick with the black forge for the North or come up with something new. I'm leaning towards sticking with the black forge, but something new for the end game would be cool.

[trail pelican]

I think a new STATION that does something unique/a new system (e.g. similar to the introduction of gem enchanting in ashlands, magic in mistalnds etc) is possible, I think a new CRAFTING station is unlikely just because there's not any 'runway' for fully fleshing out its functions

then again, the artisan table exists

[gray sand]

Forge stays. Workbench v2 incoming

[prime moth]

also, how do i locate the dyrnwyn thing

[tidal shuttle]

hello

[prime moth]

eyo

[slow leaf]

How is it 2025 and people still think the god damn deer can smell you

[fossil delta]

That I can definitely see occurring. I am leaving myself open to any possibility. This is the end game. The Grand Finale, so I think they may do anything that will end this with a big bang.

[tidal shuttle]

can they not?

[slow leaf]

....sigh

[fossil delta]

No, they only hear and see you.

[nocturne wolf]

Do we need a new crafting station if it will only be used for a single biome?

[gray sand]

Grand finale?

New workbench.
New forge.
New Galdr.
New cauldron.

All with 5 upgrades each so you have no space for anything ever again.

[nocturne wolf]

New building materials that they have to be placed on too so you need a new base

[scarlet fossil]

and see is laughable since its a cone in front of their body. when they do the animation where they look behind them they dont actually see behind them

[gray sand]

In serious: I think it would be cool if they made a separate "fletching table" and took all the arrows and bolts out of other things to centralize them into it.

Similar to how they took all meads out of the cauldron.

[fossil delta]

Like I said, the Grand Finale. I am leaving myself open to anything. Everyone is free to expect more of the same. Which is probably what it will be, but I'd like to think they will try to really blow our minds after all of this waiting.

[gray sand]

Mud bricks that you have to make from submerging clay mixture in actual water and then mine out and place on dry land to harden. Nearby fire speeds the process. 😏

You thought copper was bad?
Now you have to mine clay, craft it into mud mixture, go "plant" the mixture below the water level, wait for it to saturate, then mine it again and lay it out to dry.

[eager bough]

So is there a place to see how a seed map is loaded out?

[gray sand]

Yes. Type "valheim seed viewer" into any known search engine.

[eager bough]

Thank you

[jade snow]

Would there be interest in a community server that:

1. Permadeath [characters stored server-side, players can create new characters]
2. Indestructible Town hubs including adventure guild+ranks+quests
3. Events (?)

When I search for something similar, despite how simple and achievable it is, I don't see any options. Jotunheim banned me for having pick-up-trash enabled, so I gotta scratch my itch somehow.

[royal plaza]

why is my character so slow after this update? i'm not encumbered, and i'm not weilding any weapons. i have Askavin armor. suddenly feels like molasses?

(the walking speed)

[nocturne wolf]

Did you press C?

[royal plaza]

very possibly haha. i forgot what that keybind was, ty for reminding

[prime moth]

god damn the brutal slayer is so cool

[gaunt sable]

I had a dream that the elder buff let you go through portals with ores but not bars and now I'm sad lol

[royal plaza]

it is not C.

still moving extremely slowly

[prime moth]

lmao, yeah klossen and staff of the wild turns those stupid charred warriors into ping pong balls, you were so right

[gray sand]

It will be cooler when two-handed swords aren't bugged anymore. 😭

[tacit crystal]

What do you mean bugged?

[gray sand]

MtP being present on two-handed swords but not on any other two-handed weapon.
Vs.
MtP being absent on one-handed swords but not on any other one-handed weapon.

[tacit crystal]

Ah, that. 😏

CTA removed MTP from 2h swords.

[gray sand]

CTA?

[tacit crystal]

Call to Arms.

[gray sand]

California Trade Authority

[tacit crystal]

Or that.

[gray sand]

Like 100% confirmed by multiple tests?

[tacit crystal]

100% confirmed by my testings and by Smiffe's doings.

And other people's testings.

[gray sand]

Did they put MtP back on the one-handers?

[tacit crystal]

No, they remain with no MTP.

[gray sand]

Well... half-fixed is better than not fixed at all.

Hopefully in 1.0 they finish fixing it.

Or reduce base swing damage on swords if they want them to have a place as "the cleave weapon."

Because "completely outclassing axes" is an odd design choice.

And that will remain as long as they have no MtP.

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxes remain superior for the cleave tho IMO.

[gray sand]

I'm specifically talking about the one-hander category.

[tacit crystal]

Hitbox for hitting multiple targets can be wonky with both sword types.

I tested today a bit. If target(s) too close sword might not hit all the targets despite being on hitbox range.

[gray sand]

With an MtP, Axe vs. Sword is "slow with more damage vs. speed with less damage"

Without MtP it is "sword wins always"

[silk token]

can confirm, tested the hell out of this trying to hit things that were definitely in range but couldn't, they have to all be nicely spaced not too close to you to cleave properly

but battleaxe says yes sir me smash all things vroooooom

[tribal vessel]

Did you try purposely encumbering then unemcumbering yourself to see if it’s bugged for some reason?

[gray sand]

Battleaxe windup was like 0.2s too long (imo) last time I played with it.

[silk token]

I like that it FEELS heavy, and actually a lot of times you’re positioning yourself with a jump, and the ax is the perfect duration for landing and swinging

[shy marlin]

Atgeir better

Facts are facts

[silk token]

it does take a bit of getting used to with timings, I’m weird though, I’d rather it felt cool than performed better 🤪

[gray sand]

Ok but what if I'm not playing Mario and I don't want to jump to attack every time?

[silk token]

we’re fighting lol

[gray sand]

I'm not saying make it lightning fast. Just a smidge shorter on the windup and I'd use it.

[gray sand]

Currently just factual, yes.

[shy marlin]

How? I'll just staggerlock you for infinity until you die

[silk token]

It’s usable without jumping, but you get the really juicy positions to Cleve 10 things by jumping and turning in the air

I don’t know why my phone spelled Cleve like that. What even is that voice to text?

[gray sand]

I find it just barely unusable for me, personally. 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

Also hi sev long time no see

[gray sand]

👀

Grabs Spear

[silk token]

Oh lol, I meant IRL, but that would be fun to have a dual anyway lag permitting

[gray sand]

Throwable atgeir when?

[shy marlin]

Throwable sledges when

[silk token]

oooo throwable one-handed axe! now that the vertical hit box is better we don’t need the old alternate attack.

[gray sand]

Been asking for this since the Axe was added.

But I will settle for them putting the MtP back on one-hand swords.

[gray sand]

Normal swings on sledges and the current attack being the alternate slam when?

[shy marlin]

Might be unpopular but I think it'd be cool if they added secondary attacks to sledges + add third attack option to sword/maces etc

[silk token]

I think a lot of weapons could have a third move, one that added a little bit of mobility. It’s not unplayable, but it’s kind of silly that a core mechanic of the game is jumping and attacking mid air

[shy marlin]

Or just like, fists third option being a flurry of hits

[gray sand]

Um, no.

Fist third option is grab and headbutt.

[silk token]

“viking salute”

[shy marlin]

Sure anything would be cool

[silk token]

Do you know what I mean from assassin Creed Valhalla? There’s a movie called Viking salute that’s awesome. It’s a head butt.

[gray sand]

-How did you die?
--I grabbed Moder just as she was taking off and after the headbutt animation I fell...

[red jackal]

anyone else noticed a big influx of greydwarfs/grelings lately? ran past the black forest and had about 20 chasing me

[gray sand]

Shield Throw when? 😏

[silk token]

shield charge and/or bash when

[gray sand]

Charging would actually make Tower Shields a viable option if it was unique to them.

[silk token]

Man, if you could take a tower shield and hold block and press attack while still holding block and it made you just charge a short distance and did a high stagger doesn’t even have to be multi target move, that would be so freaking sweet

[shy marlin]

Might make them actually worth using

[silk token]

before the crazy parry change they WERE better on paper in some ways, and definitely still are fun in their own way

[gray sand]

Parry overpowered - let's balance it by increasing stamina cost.

Later: Hey let's make parry FREE because that certainly won't unbalance anything.

[silk token]

right??

i’m actually shocked they didn’t change it, there was constant outcry during the PTB, I posted myself carrying big mobs of Ashland things saying why should I be able to do this?

[gray sand]

Because casuals like it and that overrules all other opinions 😉

[shy marlin]

hmm

Make ashlands harder I did it no hit, Irongate make the game harder plz

[silk token]

That was actually the only argument was, but the game is hard for some people

no arguments about combat mechanics, or feel of the game or breaking items stats, etc.

i’m like those people aren’t going to be parrying very much, and if they get in trouble when they’re not rested, maybe they should die

[quasi latch]

Not rested + wet + cold combat go brrrrrr

[shy marlin]

No rest + always wet + always cold run when

[silk token]

I think “no hit” is silly, and doesn’t use a lot of the elements of this game that make it good. I like ticking damage that I know that I can take, it just adds intricacy to fights.

[shy marlin]

Infact make all stamina consumption permament and the only way to regain it is with stam pots

holy we cookin

[gray sand]

New world slider option: no survival.
Permanent Rested Buff. No food needed, just preset health/stamina amounts that increase as you hang boss trophies on the stones.

[quasi latch]

Also enables backpacks as early as Meadows that give an additional row of inventory.

[shy marlin]

heh, no hit adds far more intricacy to any fight

[gray sand]

No... not backpacks... plz...

[shy marlin]

Imagine a no hit run when there's 6 twitchers, morgen + valk + 2 asks on ya, that's far more intricate than "haha I just take twitcher rocks"

[silk token]

Disagree, it makes it harder, but not more intricate

[gray sand]

Imagine if you could take the Wooden Club into the Ashlands and baseball bat Twitcher rocks back at them?

[shy marlin]

Do it yourself then then find out

There are far more levels than any normal fight

[gray sand]

Backpacks... what's next? Dimensional Depot? 😭

[quasi latch]

Restrict that ability to Jotun Bane to give it some use.

[shy marlin]

It is literal layers upon layers of combat knowledge and skill required that you will never get out of "haha i just tank hits skillfully"

[gray sand]

How would an axe function like a baseball bat when we already have a literal baseball bat?

[quasi latch]

Same way a torch does more fire damage than a legendary ass 1-of-a-kind sword.

[sharp trail]

if the devs really wanted to make the game really hard, they would

[gray sand]

Killing Elder with torches do be fun.

[sharp trail]

instead you can play souls like game

[shy marlin]

Killing elder with blood slayer do be fun.

[silk token]

I CAN avoid getting hit, but I think it also takes fun strategy knowing how and when it’s OK to get hit

[quasi latch]

Hollow Knight was hard as balls, and it's one of the top 10 best-selling indie games of all time

[shy marlin]

Then do it then, show ur run plz

[gray sand]

They did. And then they peeled back difficulty layers as time went on.

[sharp trail]

do you think someone pointed a gun at them and told them to make it easy

[gray sand]

Huh?

[silk token]

lol that would be boring as hell. Is there a particular biome you’d like me to walk around for 20 minutes and not getting hit? I really don’t want to do a run just to make whatever point you think that would make.

[shy marlin]

all of ashlands hitless would be cool 🙂

If it'd be boring it'd be an easy one shot right?

Takes max of 4 hours

[quasi latch]

Yacko, you realize you are talking to the world's foremost authority on Valheim challenge runs, right?

[silk token]

how do you figure you’re supposed to take on a charred fortress with how many archers doing their volley attack at you?

[shy marlin]

🤔 hmm maybe a little bit of skill expression

[gray sand]

Scale issue.

[quasi latch]

Check his yt channel

[silk token]

no? If four of them all shoot their shots at the right time there’s no I-frame long enough.

[shy marlin]

Like I said, there are far more layers to a no hit run than I take hits skillfully

[shy marlin]

Problem solve, you found a problem, solve it

[quasi latch]

Hint: it involved copious use of the sprint key

[fringe spruce]

thats shitty positioning then i think

[silk token]

OK, then I guess I build a giant tower and just bombard the place with fireballs until everything is dead and then go inside and go yay that was fun.

[shy marlin]

So do it then, 4hours max for ur run I'll cya then

Or are we just talkin big game with nothing to back it up?

[silk token]

There’s no way you straight up fight a ball of charred without anything hitting you

[quasi latch]

Yacko, the guy you are arguing with has video proof of him doing exactly that.

[silk token]

lol im not even talking a big game im saying this challenge sounds silly and pointless and i forget what we’re even talking about before everyone started peeing

[shy marlin]

Aight you do you then

But the claim of taking hits skillfully > no hit run is just silly

[fringe spruce]

https://youtu.be/o7uttWFzD_s?si=rq_vpq9jtBNVX6Ft&t=4567

conveniently timestamped!

[quasi latch]

Also, sorry for the random friend req Scales, misclicked

[shy marlin]

Didn't even see it

[silk token]

hang on hang on, I was gonna measure it with a yardstick. I think I need to grab my tape measure. be right back.

[gray sand]

Oh snap.
Sophie with the receipts.

[shy marlin]

Well no food run is not really comparable to no hit run at all but cool

No food is far easier

[gray sand]

No food no hit no sleep no breaks IRL run next

[shy marlin]

No screen run

No sound, steering wheel only

[gray sand]

Sound only run.

[shy marlin]

Lowkey was thinkin about the complexities of a no sound run

[fringe spruce]

it still illustrates the point quite well, it is very possible to actually go fight stuff in ashlands basically without getting hit if you're good enough

[light moat]

Scales enjoys no-hit runs. I don’t think I ever could lol.

I enjoy fishing in Valheim. I don’t think Scales ever would

[shy marlin]

Well, I was still getting hit by marksman/twitcher, and Fader wasn't no hit

[shy marlin]

Never fished 😎

[gray sand]

No sailing run. Swim only. 😏

[pliant hatch]

New Scales challenge: 100 fishing skill run......

[shy marlin]

nope nope nope nope nope

[quasi latch]

All hits run. Every enemy you encounter must land at least 1 hit on you.

Hell yeah, Thorin, I think we killed chat

[shy marlin]

I blame smiffe

[gray sand]

Bronze helmet best helmet in the game.

[quasi latch]

Okay buddy

[shy marlin]

Drake helm > bronze helm

[gray sand]

Looks at Circlet...

You guys are wearing helmets?

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm, fishing hat run, Scales?

[quasi latch]

hitless ofc

[shy marlin]

That'd be easy I'd just never fish and wait for my boat to collect it

[fringe spruce]

spearfishing mod<3

[pliant hatch]

Or only hit by fish, perhaps?

[shy marlin]

Can abyssal harpoon pull in fish?

[gray sand]

Mods 🤢

[quasi latch]

Do serpents count?

Fishing rod + sprint + landmass works too

[shy marlin]

😔 you know what i mean

[fringe spruce]

not vanilla no

[gray sand]

I do hope we get more stuff to do with Chitin in 1.0

[shy marlin]

Like?

[gray sand]

Armor ofc 😛

[fringe spruce]

wouldve been cool to include it with the marble for the ceramic plates for boat but the time is too late for that

[gray sand]

Chitin-based house decorations/furniture would go hard too.

[shy marlin]

Maybe they will if they ever go back and revisit the ocean 🤔

[silk token]

OK. I’m really not interested in the pissing contest, so I’m leaving it here after this. But I have to respond. That video clip shows you towering up into the air and sniping everything with a bow, only to jump in with ONE archer and two melees left. That’s almost exactly what I said by towering up and fireballing everything. What was the skill expression getting a staircase that high? I’m just really confused about the suddenly intentionally aggressive pissing contest like you’re proud you killed everything but three mobs from the air, and you’re acting like me saying you can’t straight up fight a fortress no hit is crazy, you did not straight up fight a fortress. so let’s all calm down. Show me clearing a fortress without a bow or magic or some kind of weird cheese, that’s what I actually was talking about. This isn’t even what I was talking about in the first place. This whole thing was a semantics fight about the words difficulty and complexity. I’m not interested in any of this.

[shy marlin]

Well that's the no food run (with thousands of stacking hours on the line + 0.7*63 of attempts trying to do it legit), didn't do that in no hit 🙂, and it's not even a pissing contest, your claim is just incorrect and I used personal experience and data to back up why your claim is incorrect

[gray sand]

That is a very long response for someone who states they are not interested...

Chitin buckler.

[light moat]

#suggestion-discussion message Oop, ‘scuse me! Just gonna drop this here 👀

[fringe spruce]

honestly hope we get like buffalo or something with deep north so we can get milk and cheese for food

[gray sand]

Only if their charging attack cannot be parried so you have to dodge the 300kg running animal.

[fringe spruce]

truee

[scarlet fossil]

but those are more of a plains creature

[gray sand]

Also if they go with goats instead, plz don't make them annoying like the Thor movie ones 😭

[shy marlin]

Marvel

[fringe spruce]

yea but we already skipped that, and i cant imagine the viking milking a polar bear lol

[quasi latch]

Exactly. The amount of planning that goes into such a run is very mindful.

[fringe spruce]

lox milk pail made with deep north materials maybe

[quasi latch]

And interesting

[gray sand]

They could add moosen!

[fringe spruce]

reindeer 🤔

[gray sand]

Raindeer would be a swamp creature given the wetness 😏

[fringe spruce]

spelling issue on my part 😭

[pliant hatch]

We already have those. Occasionally found in the swamp.

They just look like deer in the rain, so they're raindeer.

[gray sand]

Bunch of baby Eikthyrs that do lightning damage?

[fringe spruce]

that could actually be funny tho

[pliant hatch]

No, those are stormdeer

[gray sand]

Strmdiir if you want to Valheim it

[burnt glen]

#screenshots message Clearly you're meant to milk these guys in the deep north

[gray sand]

Not the #NoAccess channel 👀

[pliant hatch]

Chat got killed again.

Time for a

[light moat]

Working right now, so I mostly lurk

[prime moth]

first mysterious location located!

it's on the other side of the world 😭

[pliant hatch]

That's kinda impossible.

Because both the Vegvisir and the location itself are found in the Ashlands.

If it's at the other side of the world, either the location or the vegvisir would've been found in the Deep North.....

[prime moth]

ok u got me, the vegvisir was on the south west and the location is like far south east

its far is all

[pliant hatch]

Knowing this game, you also have to sail there as it's at another island.

[prime moth]

yep, so excited

at least i'm finally on the path

hardcore run is gonna end at rito 😭

[pliant hatch]

What about that lean green groaning thing?

[prime moth]

idk good question, idk if i wanna do that or rito first

i have the bells and the spawner

[pliant hatch]

So you only have to decide if you're going to play a Metallica or an AC/DC song when fighting him. And most likely how many times you want that song being played on repeat.

[prime moth]

i also gotta fix up the fight zone

shits giga cringe rn

part of me wants to do the 2star ask breeding and maul the boss with 100 doggos

[light moat]

Odin would be pleased

[silk token]

you doing a full hardcore settings run or hardcore death or what?

[prime moth]

full hardcore setting

had a few close calls so far lol

this is definitely the farthest ive gotten though

[foggy glacier]

Finally got my ghost trophy!

[gray sand]

Noice.

[rotund dust]

Im so glad, instead of finishing Deep North, they spent resources after going on vacation for ages to bring the game to Play Station...

[gray sand]

I personally prefer the og ghost model though 🙁

[gray sand]

I am happy that you are happy. Keep being happy.

[rotund dust]

OH Sevrahn, are you currently doing the block values for Bears? 😄

[gray sand]

Currently I am eating.

[rotund dust]

Checked the spreadsheet, and didnt see any, the 2* one shot me 😂

[lunar sapphire]

wait what, y'all are seeing 2 star bears?

[rotund dust]

Yes

Ive seen 1 2*

[lunar sapphire]

ugh, I never found one D:

[foggy glacier]

apparently at night? I haven't seen one.

[lunar sapphire]

Night time makes sense yes, but only ever saw 1 stars

[pliant radish]

Sounds like somebody caught a classic case of entitlement

[pliant hatch]

Well, some people would rather have seen this game being finished in 2020.

[gray sand]

Should have been finished in 2005

[pliant hatch]

Nah. That would've made it a Bethesda game....

[gray sand]

Ok 2008.

😛

[pliant hatch]

Sounds like an EA game to me.

[gray sand]

1996?

[pliant hatch]

And I mean Electronic Arts by that.

So it could compete with Command and Conquor? NO WAY!

[gray sand]

Alternate timeline where we get medeival Command and Conquer.

Oh wait... Age of Empires 😄

[pliant hatch]

Mate, you can go all the way back to Pong or Space Invaders.

I've played those too.

Not sure if any of the Devs have, though.

[gray sand]

Space Invaders but you're a viking throwing axes at greydwarves.

[rotund dust]

I'll buy that

[pliant hatch]

Nah, throwing axes at Drakes, bats and Gjalls.

[gray sand]

That's DLC.

[rotund dust]

BUT FR Tho, putting game on playstation, is focusing more on $$$ than on completing the game...

[pliant hatch]

I dunno. Lots of studio's port things to consoles nowadays. And why keep the PS group out if you got the X-box already included?

[gray sand]

I thought you were happy?

[rotund dust]

I mean, personally, we have waited what, 5 years? Their first roadmap, they didnt even achieve that yet, which was meant to finish in what, 1-2 years? 😂

[rotund dust]

Oh yes, oh so happy

[gray sand]

So be happy.

Rather than being angy.

[rotund dust]

I'm happy at all the things, except this current post 😛

[light moat]

To be fair, they are a business, so why wouldn’t they prioritize money 😅

[pliant hatch]

So?

7D2D took 10 years.
I'm playing Stellar Tactics that's been in EA for 7 years.

Both games are pretty bug free. Which I consider a good thing considering how buggy the AAA studio's release their games.
Which usually cost 3x as much as Valheim did too.

[shy marlin]

V rising is the best version of EA

[pliant hatch]

But "best" is subjective, though.

[gray sand]

Satisfactory was the best version of EA. And then it launched... 🙁

[shy marlin]

Satisfactory also up there yea

[gray sand]

Sincerely hoping Valheim doesn't have the same kind of launch, but the "we took stamina off parry" sort of indicates otherwise...

[rotund dust]

Wait, parry doesnt take stamina?

[gray sand]

Not anymore.

[shy marlin]

Game has gotten easier every patch

Like just look at speed mead

[gray sand]

LET ME HAVE HOPE FOR A COUPLE MORE MONTHS...

[shy marlin]

Come to terms with it padawan

[rotund dust]

NAH, when they changed the food system, back in H&H and the parry system, i'd argue that it didn't make it easier

[gray sand]

NO.

[shy marlin]

HnH is the one outlier

Every subsequent patch from then on makes has made the game easier

[rotund dust]

Looking back at original road map, I'm sad we dont get our ocean biome 🙁

Deep North is last right?

[shy marlin]

#suggestion-discussion message

There's hope for ocean content/revisit

[rotund dust]

AH HOPE

The one thing we have, that gets shatttered everytime

[shy marlin]

A new hope perhaps

[light moat]

Another Dogg spicy take: Valheim is not a brutal game 👀

[shy marlin]

Define brutal 🤔

[prime moth]

its brutal when you dont know what you're doing

[rotund dust]

Its Brutal when you play it on Hardcore, and make a mistake like jumping off your house with no food on 😂

[prime moth]

my dumbest hc death so far was a golem yeeting me off the mountain

YAAAAHOOOO HO HO HOOOOEEY

i just stared at my screen in silence for a minute

[light moat]

In my opinion, a brutal game is one that greatly regresses your progress upon death, and/or presents a challenge that requires skill more than consistency.

Example; dark souls is brutal- bosses are difficult to overcome, when you die you must start the fight from the top, death during a level typically means starting the level from the start/checkpoint (Valheim portals pretty much negate a lot of death penalty)

This is just my opinion/definition, it’s not apples to oranges of course! Heck, even Minecraft will attempt to despawn your lost gear

And yeah, Valheim does have difficult moments! But in my opinion, I wouldn’t say the game is overall difficult. Even when playing the game with no knowledge.

Disclaimer: this assumes default modifiers. Also, I have played my fair share of video games, so my standard of difficulty could very well be higher than others!

[shy marlin]

With that def I agree

[prime moth]

all im saying is im sure a good number of players quit after learning that on death they lost their gear

[tawdry veldt]

can someone tell me how far down save is on the pause screen? Is it three options down>

[prime moth]

and they need to sail / walk back to retrieve it

2nd option on the menu @tawdry veldt

[tawdry veldt]

thanks game froze sorta. screen was stuck but i could still move and do things

[prime moth]

weird lol

dyrnwyn is just meant to be a cool sidequest right

im sad my friends didnt do it on release

[shy marlin]

yea cool side adventure

[light moat]

Emphasis on cool! because Dyrnwyn has so little fire damage 😎

[shy marlin]

[prime moth]

but the sword is fuckin awesommmmme

[shy marlin]

Dead horse 😢

[prime moth]

it has flames!!!!!

[tepid prawn]

goat torch

[foggy glacier]

I guess it can be a fun little quest, especially if you play multi, since there can be only one.

[prime moth]

damn it really is just worse than the thundering nidhogg lol

[tepid prawn]

I use some tricks on my server so more than 1 can get it

[prime moth]

it's an epic flex piece

[foggy glacier]

yeah, too bad it's not vorpal 😉

[light moat]

I still use it, only because it looks so great lol

[prime moth]

my whole goal was dyrnwyn hardcore playthrough so

i'm obliged now

[light moat]

I just want a Dyrnwyn emoji, then I’ll be a happy camper 🏕️

[shy marlin]

yes hello Smiffe 📞

[light moat]

If we get an animated Dyrnwyn emoji, I’ll buy nitro immediately and boost the server

[shy marlin]

There's already so many yellow names 😔

[pliant hatch]

Yellow Scales when?

[shy marlin]

Never

[prime moth]

hooooooooooooooooly

went yolo onto the land mass

morgen and a 2 star warrior were here

[shy marlin]

classic

[prime moth]

i cannot believe how fuckin stupid staff of the wild is ngl

id be so extremely dead if it were not for that godsent item

[wintry valve]

Im gonna be annoying because everyone likely asked at least twice, but the recent announcement makes me think the northern update would happen with the playstation release.

Or am I too hopeful?

[past pine]

hey peeps, did the call to arms launched yet?

[quasi latch]

Yep.

[wintry valve]

You have broken all my dreams.

[fringe spruce]

i kinda agree but i must clarify that i think it can definitely feel like it due to random jank that feels unfair (golem kb, ashlands spawnrates, shaman poison when you first get into bf, etc) in a way that makes the game a lot more annoying than something like souls/er/v rising where you can get fucked up and die but it feels kinda fair in a way that fucking up in valheim doesnt

[stuck lake]

is bronze or bear armor better

[gray sand]

Better is subjective.

[shy marlin]

Bronze armor trash

The decision is between troll / bear

[gray sand]

🖕

[willow hound]

bronze armour, only for the look(nothing else)

[shy marlin]

I'd be scared but you'd never catch me with -10% movement speed

[smoky quarry]

Crumb Catcher beard is all i needed

[willow hound]

bronze helmet is ok(+rest of bear set), if you don;t want the bear set bonus

[gray sand]

Bear has higher armor than troll and doesn't need cape for set bonus.
Sheesh.

[shy marlin]

Troll is cheap and mostly free

[willow hound]

catch is, you gotta get the trophy drop that everyone cept a few are cursed in getting

[shy marlin]

Bear set requires the elusive trophy 😔

[gray sand]

Bear set helps with woodcutting 😮

[gray sand]

"elusive" 😛

[willow hound]

trophy drops then rolls right into the obliterator

[gray sand]

./spawn trophy

[smoky quarry]

come home from long trip to find update ;D

[willow hound]

cheater

[smoky quarry]

time for another trip

[gray sand]

Cheating in a single-player game

[willow hound]

it's more the cheating tag i was refrencing

[wintry valve]

I dont fine the troll set bonus to be all that useful, honestly

Does the bear armor have a set bonus?

[shy marlin]

Yea

+30% hp regen rate, +15% stam regen rate, 10% chop, +10% slash, and you take +25% more dmg to blunt slash pierce

[gray sand]

I genuinely wonder if they are going to go back over all the armors on release because Bear just seems objectively better from multiple standpoints.

[wintry valve]

so its some sort of early fenrir armor or something

wait no

Was there an armor that increased incoming damage before bear?

[shy marlin]

Root i guess?

But it’s much more noticeable on bear

Since physical dmg is more prevalent than fire

I’m not sure how parrying calculations work with the berserk buff too

[wintry valve]

yeah I was thinking of the berserk buff

[gray sand]

If it's on the armor it wouldn't affect your shield.

Same way the Pierce Resist from Serpent Shield doesn't affect your armor.

[shy marlin]

I’m gonna pretend I understand and just use my atgeir

[gray sand]

If you have Serpent Shield you get Pierce Resist -- but it applies only to the shield and when you're blocking.
So if you get hit by something and you don't block, it goes against your armor - not your shield, and the Pierce Resist doesn't apply.

Bear Armor debuff would apply only if you're not blocking or only to damage that gets through your block.

[wintry valve]

I find the notion that armor can increase incoming damage to be silly tho

[shy marlin]

It’s kinda silly but it’s a mechanical thing that’s needed

Like the bear set bonus without the increased dmg to u would just be straight op

[gray sand]

So, given we all parry, it is straight-up OP 😛

[gray sand]

Which goes back to this 😄

[shy marlin]

Same convo

Game gets easier every patch

Like you can kill the queen in 65 seconds now with just krom

Pre bog witch it was at 2min

[gray sand]

2-Hand Swords finally having no MtP makes them even better for Queen.

[shy marlin]

Yea

[wintry valve]

I certainly do not parry all the time

[gray sand]

1-Hand Swords still not having MtP is bs though.

[shy marlin]

Mhm

[wintry valve]

Parrying aint hard, but I often get overwhelmed

[robust token]

It's crazy, bear claws' kick can stagger a no star fuling, and the stagger is long enough to kill it

[wintry valve]

so you are punting goblins?

[versed tendon]

The servers are down?

[wintry valve]

valheim has servers?

[rain flare]

No it doesn’t

Any multiplayer servers are privately owned by players - the IronGate team doesn’t run any servers of their own

[pale quest]

i see everyone having trouble to connect to servers, here and on reddit.

[prime moth]

hoooooooly cow those 2 star spawners are nerve wrecking. 1st piece down

[wintry valve]

It gets worse :V

also its nerve wracking

You know, I feel like this game should have more "treasure hunt"

[gray sand]

Possible in 1.0

[wintry valve]

Imagine if you kill a mob and it drops a map that points to a dungeon that has a specific drop in it

[prime moth]

like clues in runescape

that would be fun

[wintry valve]

Like, you know, with this map, that this troll cave on this island has a hatsune miku figurine

or whatever

[gray sand]

And you'd still find it before finding a Yag vegvisir.

[wintry valve]

You forget that not finding things is the most exciting part of not progressing

[gray sand]

😄

[wintry valve]

man ive been not playing this game so to make me feel like I forgot everything, in preparation for the deep north, but more and more I want to play this again

[hybrid tendon]

is server hosting down nobody i play with can do multiplayer right now just fails every time or is it just us

[gray sand]

Valheim doesn't have servers.

[hybrid tendon]

yea i though so but nobody we i play with can conect too anybody ever others servers and theres a few of us

just makeing sure because if it woude be just me then sure but a full group of people that cant join worlds so we wantet too make sure

[tawny bridge]

The dedicated server I am on is having the same issue.

[warped solstice]

do yall know any mods to learn all recipes

[obtuse thorn]

Let me know when your guys server hosting is working again

[echo wind]

You can do that without mods by just turning on cheats and disabling build costs

[prime moth]

devcommands -> nocost

[warped solstice]

huh! i know about build cost but never saw that

[echo wind]

Gotta be via console / devcommands, not the world modifier

[warped solstice]

oh im pc

[echo wind]

Yea the dev console, available on pc

[nocturne wolf]

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

[plush umbra]

Our server is back-up

[dusk prism]

is crossplay working?

[plush umbra]

Yeah

[dusk prism]

yep working for me too

[past pine]

when is valheim newest update be released?

[prime moth]

one came out like 3-4 days ago

next one we have no clue, within a year or two

[past pine]

ayeee

[warped solstice]

i struggled finding itlul

[prime moth]

holy shit im so stoked i actually did it!!! dyrnwyn on a hardcore run

[visual sparrow]

The deep north? Next year

Hopefully

[chrome lynx]

Hi guys how are you ?

[gilded monolith]

some time in or after december

i think in december

[vernal jay]

bruh... coming on PS??? Really? i was hope it's a another content update :v

[gray sand]

Oh no... getting more people to play the game... how horrible...

[neon magnet]

Nice for them, probably inevitable and makes sense as a business move. Also nice to spread the good word 😄

But - it will mean dedicating lots of dev time potentially slowing down content rate (as seen in other games when ported to another platform). Also there may be real concerns with PS rules affecting dev choices (either backend to mesh with yet another more specialized hardware or in-game due to content rules being imposed for current and/or future content - possibly affecting content on all platforms).

HOPEFULLY it's just a good thing and they are able to work completely in parallel and it doesn't affect or delay content for existing players at all. Thinking that is probably a bit naive, but so is thinking they would dismiss a large playerbase expansion because it might slightly inconvenience current players.

But I can't fault someone who wasn't sure what would be announced that is now a bit disappointed since it means nothing positive at all for them

[ebon atlas]

Wish ya wonderful day guys

[barren whale]

42kb update?

[chrome lynx]

Thanks

[shell iris]

Any info on this small patch that just dropped? I guess I will update my server with it

[exotic cradle]

Im curious too 😮

[tepid anchor]

https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/19985618/
patches for mac maybe?

[wide zenith]

What's the best base defence tool against bats? 🤔
With exception of windmills

[tepid anchor]

also: https://steamdb.info/app/892970/history/?changeid=31153479

actually looks like it wasn't just mac that got changed, there were some asset changes in all 3 main branches.
all 3 had some things removed from resources.assets but mac had some extra things added to the streaming assets

[timber tiger]

I didnt think id see Valheim support for PlayStation at least within the next 3 years but here we are

[fair cairn]

i wonder how many players are actually on mac

[tepid anchor]

estimating from the last hardware survey and the average concurrent players in the past month and a half, there's about 313 mac players at any given time

[willow hound]

a wall with devergr spikes on top

[past dawn]

this is the first time im in the ashlands. whoever made this biome went lets make shwartz love this game 10/10 but lets make a biome that makes him hate the game and never want to do another playthrough. ive played souls games and yet im not this much of a masochist

[rugged star]

I just came back after some time. I've not done the Ashlands, but that's the one place I'm most excited to find.

[past dawn]

i always hated burn or explosive related enemies so this place is the bane of my existance

[rugged star]

I gotta say, I like the bear.

That trophy is really rare tho.

[willow hound]

main thing i don't like about the ashlands is the respawn rate, kill everything nearby then look left to cross the street, nothing, look right, nothing, look left again, everything has spawned and more is coming in from the right as well

[fair cairn]

3 bears and a troll around the elder spawn, atleast i led the troll away and killed the bears before even trying the elder spawn, though i still need to get more carrot food

[rain flare]

A small patch ey?
Logs in…
Who added Loki to this game??? 🤣

[rain flare]

They will respawn - bears and trolls have dedicated spawn points and typically come back after a day or two

[fair cairn]

the bears are easy to kill but i dont wanna kill a troll and get troll raids so untill i get a troll raid ill just lead him away again

[rugged star]

It'd be so cool to tame a bear...

[past dawn]

real. i hit a tree or ore node. boom 10 enemies. spend 5 minutes fighting for my life. hit a node boom 15 enemies, even when you destroy monuments they still spawn so much

[willow hound]

at least they(the devs) promised the deep north won;t be as oppressive

[past dawn]

that'd be nice not having to deal with six enemies pump faking me so i cannot parry

[rugged star]

"Deep North?" Sounds snowy.

[orchid locust]

what's the update I just got about?

there are no patch notes anywhere on steam, so I have no clue

[past dawn]

i just hope in the deep north there are tamable mamoths to ride that can carry storage or something, and there are giants. also i pray that that biome has a new weapon or tool for ever type not just a few

[willow hound]

I hope the morgen hearts gets more uses(hoping for a guldr table upgrade)

[fair cairn]

10 cores in 1 chamber, absolutely fantastic!

[willow hound]

surtling, or black or molten?

[fair cairn]

surtling cores am only on 70 havent even killed the elder yet

although once i ahve more carrots for better foods ill got after the elder

[past dawn]

anyone think theyll buff 2 handed weapons? i love the krom but it just has so many downsides compared to sword and shield

[azure yacht]

no

[tacit crystal]

What buff they would need?

[past dawn]

attack speed or simply better block

[azure yacht]

why would the heavier, stronger version attack faster?

[past dawn]

with sword and shield you get more damage, faster attack, less stamina drain and the benifits of a shield

[merry pebble]

They were buffed in last update quite a bit 😄

[tacit crystal]

They deal more damage than 1h version and parrying most non star enemies is still possible with them.

[past dawn]

i saw nothing in the call to arms about the krom what did they buff?

[merry pebble]

They removed mtp from it 🙂 which Is huge

Multi Target Penalty*

[tacit crystal]

It wasn't mentioned in patch notes tho.

[past dawn]

oh really? i didnt see that

ahh

[merry pebble]

True true

[tacit crystal]

Tested myself (and some others) and also confirmed by Smiffe.

[merry pebble]

Same

[willow hound]

bigger(no other changes)

[tacit crystal]

Slayer no big enough?

[willow hound]

no

bigger

can't roleplay as guy with giant sword otherwise

[fringe spruce]

more damage but less dps most likely

shortsword dps is crazy

[oblique epoch]

is playing with metal teleportation considered cheating? After 250hrs of sailing I am kinda tired of it

[tacit crystal]

Go ahead if you like.

[chrome badge]

No, but there is an option you'll come across without turning that option on for the world if you're hesistant.

[oblique epoch]

currently in mistlands and its such a chore to bring items around is all. like i have all the metals but now i want to move my dverger extractor back and forth...

[oblique epoch]

feel free to spoil this

[chrome badge]

||The next biome has a new portal that bypasses portal rules.||

[willow hound]

I just do my smithing onsite for mistlands, as long as theres plains nearby i have everything i need

[oblique epoch]

I might just move the extractor then

[oblique epoch]

same

[chrome badge]

I agree, and I personally sailed to nearby plains/black forest to gather what I need to smelt at my Mistlands base instead of returning home.

[willow hound]

don;t even need BF, jsut portal surt cores

[oblique epoch]

i have multiple bases with metals its just i dont wanna kill more dverger so i can have an extractor in multiple places for example

[chrome badge]

iirc I needed bronze for something and went there, might be unrelated though.

[oblique epoch]

or if i eant to bring something back to my starting base itd be annoying since its a 2hr voyage

the sailing itself isnt a problem, its just that nothing actually happens when sailing

[willow hound]

just hold a dance party while you sail

[oblique epoch]

i hvent played in a whole year tbh

[chrome badge]

It can become tedious, I usually put on some Pirate of the Caribbean ost and stay on the lookout for Serpents/POIs on shores.

[willow hound]

don;t kill them, jsut cart the ward

[oblique epoch]

I also dont like how little water there is

cant sail 2 minutes straight without hitting a landmass

[chrome badge]

You can also just take it and run 😛

That'd be dependant on your seed tbh

[willow hound]

took over a dverger tower and turned it into my mistland farm, guards included for free

[oblique epoch]

i can sort of

[willow hound]

+plenty of roots nearby

[chrome badge]

I stumbled on to a fully in tact dvergr dock house my first time reaching the Mistlands, it had farmable land out back and was surprisingly flat for building.

[oblique epoch]

did you use the ward break bug?

[chrome badge]

By chance everything I needed was nearby, including randomly stumbling onto the boss altar.

[oblique epoch]

i had haldor and hildr spawn next to each other, despite hildr not existing when i found haldor

[chrome badge]

This is only really useful if you want to keep them alive tbh

[oblique epoch]

how did you get the free guards if theyre dead then

[chrome badge]

That wasn't me that mentioned that 😛

(or the cart cheese)

[oblique epoch]

ahh

[willow hound]

i cart them cus dvergr are a protected species, and i don;t wanna get fined

[oblique epoch]

i place my camps a llittle away because 1-2 gjalls can kinda mess up the dverger

so i use them mostly to bait seeker

[chrome badge]

That's why I just break the extractor crate and run 😅

[steel mica]

1.5x resource is too much already

[foggy glacier]

I only use the cart for the first one. I find using refined Eitr after that works better. I also usually push them all out of the tower after the ward is destroyed.

[steel mica]

I raided like a couple of fuling villages and I already have half of my blackmetal chest full of BMS

[chrome badge]

Yeah, 1.0x on solo already feels generous, I can't imagine having multiple people adventuring.

[steel mica]

My intention for this was to make it a bit less miserable for grinding building mats, but even 1.5x feels cheaty

context: me and thorn talked about how I should just raise the resource drop to 4.0x for specific resources but it felt way too cheaty

and insisted on just making it 1.5x

even 1.5x is too much

I can imagine the game crashing when you drop a meteor on a boulder with 4.0x resource drop

maybe next playthrough I'll do 1.5x and up the combat

and raids to balance it out

[pale lynx]

So what's the lore explination of Rocky? All his cryptic dialogues - randomness in speaking...etc - is it just an April Fools joke or do we think there's some more meaning behind what he says (and why he even exists?)

[merry pebble]

No lore behind rocky afaik 🙂

[subtle coyote]

[pale lynx]

oh we'll have to see about that....I'm sure we can come up with something 🥸

[merry pebble]

That would not be lore tho...

[pale lynx]

I'm sure we can come up with a lot of speculation haha

[merry pebble]

Thats better 😄

[subtle coyote]

[pale lynx]

How off the wall is this..... We don't really know what the Winter Child whispered to Fader that led to his downfall....I like to think that maybe Rocky somehow holds these whispers/secrets, and the random phrases that he speaks is what was whispered to Fader

[foggy crest]

Do most players prefer Magic for Ashlands or Melee for Hardcore survival?

[merry pebble]

Very much differs person to person 🙂

[pale lynx]

I get so overwhelmed so quickly with melee in the Ashlands, so I have to lean on magic and try ranged as much as I can. I don't have those skills to pay the bills, you see

[wide zenith]

How big the difference between hard and very hard combat difficulties?

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers#Combat_Settings 🙂

[foggy crest]

Well I wonder for those who play only hardcore, which they prefer for survival in Ashlands - Melee or Magic -- one isn't better than the other for Hardcore?

[merry pebble]

Magic is certainly safer 🙂

[iron breach]

would anyone (relatively new) like to start a world with me? i can play a solid bit

[merry pebble]

You can look and/or make a post in #1024264966712340510 if you want to 😄

[iron breach]

TY!

[oblique epoch]

how do i get the training dummy? i dont see it in my recipes

[merry pebble]

You need a new material ghosts drop 🙂

[foggy glacier]

probably you need to visit Burial Chambers in the black forest.

[oblique epoch]

oof

need to find new burial chambers ig

[merry pebble]

Yep

[foggy glacier]

what benefit are the blob bombs. I can't figure out whether to make one.

[prime moth]

i just waited for a ghost raid ngl

[oblique epoch]

iirc there was a neew bush update too right, can we add bushes now?

[foggy glacier]

that's fine if you're already past Bonemass

[merry pebble]

Eh? No. Last update was call to arms.

[merry pebble]

Basically the same function as skelets or summoned trolls, distraction that can cause dmg 🙂

[foggy glacier]

or turning resin into ooze?

[oblique epoch]

wasnt there one 6 months ago

[foggy glacier]

I guess, like skeletts and trolls, they don't drop stuff?

[merry pebble]

Not sure actually, didnt use them much

[merry pebble]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/529841158837239843
This one is closest to 6 months ago 🤔

[terse raft]

So we did beat Moder 2 days ago. But it was so easy and trivial it felt weird

80% of the combat he was just stuck there doing nothing

(can't find a bug channel so saying it here)

[merry pebble]

Yeah, she is famously often stuck on things

[terse raft]

yeah

was stuck into the mountain mostly digging herself a hole

[fossil delta]

I usually look for all of her locations, and choose the one with the "flattest" terrain, just to ensure the best fight.

[oblique epoch]

i just have some memory of some bush update

[fossil delta]

We have never been able to plant bushes. Thats either dev commands or a mod.

[oblique epoch]

f

[fossil delta]

I wish we could. Even if its seeds we find in later biomes, to keep it difficult in early game.

[terse raft]

another thing too, we did craft Missiles in the artisan tables yesterday, wondering what they are for until i remember there is crossbow later.

Would be fun if it was writting on it.

[terse raft]

Moder obliterated me on my solo game, so i was expecting a bigger fight

[fossil delta]

Moder is most challenging if a few golems and wolves show up while your fighting her.

Not at the same time, though, since those fight each other.

You can also fight her at night, so starred wolves show up.

[terse raft]

yeah but wasn't the issue here

she was just stuck , so we shoot her then my friend went in melee fight from under her, she couldn't hit him

kind of sad for a boss lmao

[fossil delta]

OF course, now a days, you can just change the setting of the game to harder setting. These are just things I came up with back when we had to make things harder ourselves.

[terse raft]

harder or not we was still stuck

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they really need to fix that. I am surprised it has not been a higher priority, since she is a boss. Again, these are just things I came up with to make her be a harder fight. Worthy of being a boss.

Of course, I have also learned to make all boss fights be as easy as possible. Without changing the game settings.

Except Fader. I haven't even fought Fader yet.

[oblique epoch]

which mistlands mage weapon is best against yagluth?

[ionic elk]

Ice staff is always best for single targets but cos it's a biome ahead of her id say any weapon will shred em

[oblique epoch]

ahh okay

yagluth is a woman??

[fossil delta]

Yeah, any later biome weapon used against an earlier boss makes that fight much easier.

[ionic elk]

Yagluth is a super common lady name for sure, verified viking fact

[fossil delta]

With a body like that, does gender even matter anymore? 😄 😄

[oblique epoch]

yagluth isnt even swedish haha

[ionic elk]

Tbh I wouldn't bother trying to full mage Yag - I'd bring staff of embers and 1 Eitr food and just use it for the additional spawns

Shield would be nice for one of the attacks they do too

[oblique epoch]

my gf is kinda bad at dodging, trying to get her some more ranged options

I beat moder with parrying, yagluth is kinda tough with the fire aoe tho

[steel mica]

@fossil delta speaking of moder, check screenshots

[ionic elk]

Staff of protection will see her right so! Thing is the magic stuff needs a fair bit of food prep, although that's not too tricky

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂 he is refferd to as a "king" in game texts

[oblique epoch]

thats what i thought haha

[oblique epoch]

is it actually good? seemed to give very little imo

[steel mica]

The staff of proc is very good imo

though it does cost eitr its worth it to have a shield bubble absorb all the damage

[ionic elk]

If she's bad at dodging..yeah she's gonna hard need it for everything past plains (:

[oblique epoch]

i have like a thousand magecaps

[steel mica]

did the call of arms update did any major changes to dodging or still the same?

[ionic elk]

Be sure they get the whole 'jumping as you cast' trick down, or they'll get dead a lot mid-cast

[steel mica]

aside from the rolling/dodging skill added

[ionic elk]

I haven't gotten to play D: afaik it mainly rewards perfect blocks and stuff most of all

[steel mica]

from experience didn't feel any changes so its nice

[oblique epoch]

whats a good eitr food then

[steel mica]

when I first saw the skill I expected my rolls/blocks to be a little slower

[steel mica]

You in mistlands now?

[oblique epoch]

seeker aspic?

[oblique epoch]

yeah i cleared the dungeons before yagluth

[steel mica]

Seeker aespic is the way to go

its cheap for what 85 eitr

or 80 I cant remember

[oblique epoch]

any use fir jotun puffs?

[tacit crystal]

Oozes are quite nice against Frost cave residents, also growth vials against bigger opponents like starred berserkers when tactically set up right.

[tacit crystal]

Many, for most mistlands foods.

You can grow them too.

[steel mica]

Its iirc seeker meat, magecaps, royal jelly

[oblique epoch]

i have too much

i just throw it in random chests

[prime moth]

they're used a lot

[oblique epoch]

how

[prime moth]

lingering stam pots too

[ionic elk]

Yep, they're useful in a few late recipes, I can't remember the best Eitr foods off the top of my head, just be sure you don't neglect stamina food too

[steel mica]

You'll be needing a new upgrade to the cauldron

[tacit crystal]

You can grow them like any other crop before, with cultivator on cultivated ground in Mistlands area.

[steel mica]

Seeker Aespic imo is the best eitr food for how incredibly dirt cheap it is to make, only hassle is royal jelly but a couple of raids in the mines wont hurt

the mistlanslds boss works aswell for farming both seeker meat and royal jelly

[ionic elk]

Aye I think that and stuffed mushrooms were the 2 best and easiest ones to make

[prime moth]

dont the jellys and seekers respawn in the pits after a while

[oblique epoch]

royal jelly is plenty

[prime moth]

i dont think ive ever run out of jelly lol

[steel mica]

They do but enemies respawn aswell so another hassle

[oblique epoch]

the skelly summon is kinda cool, is it strong?

[prime moth]

fire staff just owns the pits so i never really care lol

[ionic elk]

Not at first, after you level up blood magic a bit they are solid

[steel mica]

Its meant as a support and canon fodder for mage users

[ionic elk]

But just having something to draw aggro is hyuuuge

[steel mica]

in the later biome you'll get access to something much more handy and deadly aswell

[oblique epoch]

i wanna be mage but gf needs a tank

[steel mica]

you can go heavy + mage build

[oblique epoch]

just a lot of eitr

[ionic elk]

Mage can be quite tanky I think, especially if you're using skellies to draw aggro

[steel mica]

decked out in heavy armour with some melee weapons and some magic weapons aswell

yon sire question

which of the two feast is better, hearty of the sea feast or the mountains feast?

[ionic elk]

If you wanna try it out, go to swamps and find a spot with 2 or 3 spawners nearby (easy enough in swamps) and then just stand between them all and spawn skellies and shields and watch those skills climb! Just be careful the skellies don't kill the spawners D:

[oblique epoch]

lvl 1 hakon vs bear lets see who wins

[ionic elk]

I've never actually tried the feasts >.< I play solo so I'm usually too busy keeping up with viking chores to try em

[steel mica]

Ah I see

[oblique epoch]

ngl bear does so little damage, i would expect it to at least do 4 dmg

[steel mica]

@stray stone if you plan to go heavy but also want a taste of magic without losing what your gf wants (tank) you can go heavy + magic

combining heavy and magic for your loadout, just be prepared for the absolute grind and preparations

hold up let me do the calculations first for the diets

[prime moth]

i love the tank armor + mage

i go 1 of each food and blood bubble / staff of the wild everything

then klossen anything close

ice staff everything that flies

[oblique epoch]

ok so seeker ascetic and what more eitr food? the skull requires 100 just to cast

[eternal blade]

stuffed mushroom is a good budget option

or you can simply use raw magecap

[oblique epoch]

raw magecap doesnt last

need way more

[steel mica]

If you plan to use feast you can go with
FEAST - Hearty Mountains Logger's stew
FEAST - Plains Pie Picnic
EITR - Seeker Aepsic
for a total of
100 = stamina
100 = health
85 = eitr

If you plan to use just cooked foods you can go with (provided best stat food but not ease of access)
Misthare Supereme
Fish n Bread
Seeker Aespic
for a total of
115 = Health
118 = Stamina
85 = Eitr

if you plan to use the 2nd diet, mushroom omelette and salads are also good options

the upside of the first diet is that it has a staggering 50min duration for feast

[tiny tiger]

Seeker aspic is best value

So you wanna use that for sure

[steel mica]

Cheap aswell

[tiny tiger]

The second mage food is upto depending on whichever ingredients you have available

[ionic elk]

Aspic & stuffed mushroom

[oblique epoch]

what the hell is feast

[mellow fable]

Question for yall I'm still new, what is the natural progression of ores?

[tiny tiger]

Have you found the witch in the swamp

[steel mica]

Have you found the third trader yet?

[oblique epoch]

the witch?

yeah but shes so far away

[tiny tiger]

Copper/Tin -> Bronze -> Iron -> Silver -> Black metal -> Flametal

[steel mica]

in short they are like food but a with balanced stats

[mellow fable]

@tiny tiger ah thank you

[steel mica]

with long duration

[tiny tiger]

She sells the ingredients needed for feasts

[oblique epoch]

i see

i have a few thousand coins

[tiny tiger]

They are optional of course, before witch we did just fine without feasts

[steel mica]

ita worth making a portal to her as she'll give you access to a really good feast after you defeat the mistland's boss

[supple solstice]

copper/tin -> bronze -> iron -> silver -> black metal -> flametal

mistlands doesn't really have an "ore" but refined eitr effectively takes that spot, and would be behind flametal

[oblique epoch]

fair

[oblique epoch]

um actually soft tissue is an ore

[tiny tiger]

Ehhh

[supple solstice]

I would argue soft tissue is more analogous to coal and refined eitr is the "ore"

[tiny tiger]

It’s definitely a mineable resource

It’s literally just brains lol

[merry pebble]

Soft tissue is the "ore", sap is the analog to coal here 😄

[oblique epoch]

eitr sap is oil tbh

[steel mica]

its literally copper and tin all over again

[supple solstice]

in that sense I would say sap is the ore, refined eitr is the bar, and soft tissue is the coal

[steel mica]

thats why I love the mistlands, it takes inspiration from the blackforest

[tiny tiger]

Here’s no debate to copper and tin being ores tho

[west mica]

Soft tissue is far harder to source though

[blissful ibex]

watching a noob play valheim makes me wanna vomit omfg

she was complaining about the fact that there's no way to know her food is done cooking on one of the cooking spit things

[steel mica]

Thats literally any game ever when watching a new player

[blissful ibex]

like... it makes a very LOUD noise when it's done.

[tiny tiger]

I find it very entertaining, especially when they keep dying over and over retrieving their stuff, it’s a lot more fun to watch than experience

[supple solstice]

yea but sap as an ore gets refined into the bar refined eitr and soft tissue facilitates that transition just like coal

[merry pebble]

You burn the sap there under the destiller looking thing 🙂 hence why i say its analog to coal

[blissful ibex]

I don't mind being bad. I mind complaining about things when the answer is RIGHT THERE

acting like the game is at fault for you being blind

[west mica]

You miss stuff when youre overwhelemd with info

[blissful ibex]

she also called.. the boar... a bunny?

[steel mica]

especially to a newer player

[tiny tiger]

Refined eitr is like the condensed magic out of the chemical reaction of sap and brain stuff

[supple solstice]

maybe "in universe" so to speak but I mean as a gameplay anaologue it makes more sense to consider sap to be the ore

[steel mica]

you're still in the learning progress

[merry pebble]

Sap is just being burned there to get heat tho 😄

[blissful ibex]

she also thought the 1-8 option for cooking was the quantity option...

[supple solstice]

although I guess it doesn't matter lol

[blissful ibex]

why would you be able to put 8 pieces on a cooking spit

[tiny tiger]

I imagined the fumes emitted had some kind of reaction in the process?

[blissful ibex]

where would the pieces fit?

[foggy glacier]

I look at it the other way. You're grinding up the soft tissue to get the eitr out of it, using the sap for fuel

[tiny tiger]

They come from magical roots after all

[merry pebble]

If you put it like this then it doesent matter at all tho 😄

[steel mica]

sap also being used for other stuff yes? food stam regen potion

[supple solstice]

maybe 🤔 I always thought the sap was the "magic" and the soft tissue just got the machine going

[merry pebble]

And gameplay wise the tissue is more similar to ore anyway

[west mica]

From what I can tell, the world tree (I cant spell the proper name) connects all the realms and it USED to connect to Valheim on the west and east edges, like handles on a basket. But Odin broke off the connection now Valheim is just in a void. However, where the world tree used to anchor to the world, those shoots were left containing the magic substance of the world tree.

[eternal blade]

sap is being used for both magical and non-magical foods and meads...so I guess the magical essence for eitr comes from the soft tissue
