[neat flicker]

i just got iron in frost caves

what drops it?

[hearty flume]

fenrir maybe?

[chrome badge]

The doors

[silk token]

i vaguely remember the braziers dropping some kind of metal

[shy marlin]

braziers drop bronze

doors can drop iron

[vital umbra]

how come theres no sailing skill yet

[foggy glacier]

Vikings are born knowing how to sail?

[light moat]

We all have sailing 100, we just can’t see it and it can’t be reduced

[violet basin]

I'm coming back to my once multiplayer valheim world to finish it and there seems to be quite a bit of new stuff. I made the world about 6 months ago but abandoned it about 3 months in. My current goal is finding the summon area for Yagluth and I just have a few questions

What are trinkets? Are there any new weapons at this stage of the game I should know about? Any other advice?

[gray sand]

Patch notes.

We have a bot...

[light moat]

So trinkets are new equipables that can help you in certain combat situations. There’s a handful, so they’re worth making an experimenting with to see what fits your style.

There’s a new plains armor and weapon that may interest you, keep an eye out for a new night spawn in the plains. There’s a handful of other things in the update too, but I’ll let you find out about them 👍

[gray sand]

Or, patch notes 😉

[pliant hatch]

But why direct someone to the patch notes when you could as well copy / paste the patch notes in here?

I mean directing someone to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much work....

[spring estuary]

#screenshots message what do y’all think?

[vital umbra]

yeah but compare leif erikson to some random viking

[chrome badge]

Eh, looks like it's modded 😛

[spring estuary]

Does it look good at least ?

[light moat]

Looks cool, but would be better in the daylight 🤔

[chrome badge]

I don't enjoy modded content so to me, no unfortunately. Maybe people in #mods-screenshots would like it.

[spring estuary]

Why not? Any specific reason ?

[chrome badge]

It says to post that stuff #mods-screenshots in the #screenshots channel description.

[spring estuary]

Also forgot that existed, took an over a year long break from Val 😅

[chrome badge]

Unnatural windows, shrubbery, signage, etc.

[light moat]

Is the shrubbery modded? 🤔

[spring estuary]

Yeah, the design is pretty iconic. But the plant everything is almost essential to me

[spring estuary]

Planting it is

[chrome badge]

There's signs of the planting mod

[light moat]

Ye, but they’re also placeable using commands, so the shrubbery gets a pass. But yeah, windows and armor set are modded fo sho

[shy marlin]

[spring estuary]

Armor isn’t actually except for that one helmet on the armor stand

[light moat]

Yee, that’s what I was talking about 😁

[chrome badge]

The shrubbery is possible but the little stumps arent 😛

[spring estuary]

You can See warfare, Odin architect and plant everything

Will post in modded next time

[chrome badge]

Yeah, I think mods are gross so it automatically looks lame to me, sorry man.

[spring estuary]

Oh come on, give at least Odin Architect a pass : o

[light moat]

I don’t even see the little stumps, you must have a better eye than I

[spring estuary]

Bottom left, the shrooms

[gray sand]

No passes.

[chrome badge]

No passes

[spring estuary]

What about QOL mods?

Like auto feed from container?

[chrome badge]

Nope, modding is bad for development, early access is meant to help mold the game itself, not inspire modders to fix issues people should be giving feedback about.

Not to mention the amount of abandonware it results in.

[spring estuary]

How harsh

[chrome badge]

What can I say, I'm a game developer, I'm in it for the vanilla experience.

[spring estuary]

Me too, but after 300 hours I switched to modded

Now I’m almost double that

[chrome badge]

1400 here 👋

[spring estuary]

Close to 600 here

[light moat]

How is modding bad for development? 🤔
Not much of a mod user myself, but how does it affect Irongate if people create mods/use them?

[chrome badge]

Give Valheim a full release and 5 years, if nothing changes, I'll consider a mod or two.

[light moat]

(We can move this convo to general)

[chrome badge]

I just said this above but, it'll inherently remove feedback from some circles because people will end up on the trail of fixing any issues they have with a mod, rather than give feedback during an early access period.

[spring estuary]

Oh man, I’m a heavy mod user. In Valheim I Play with 20 to 30. In Space Engineers with around 10 GB of mods and in Minecraft with around 200-350 mods xD

[chrome badge]

Among other issues, a mod they enjoy becomes unsupported and they think the game is broken, etc.

[gray sand]

Runs to get pesto bismal.

[spring estuary]

Subnautica is a strong argument against that imo

[chrome badge]

How so?

[spring estuary]

Who is stupid enough to mistake a mod for vanilla? Although I’d fully expect that of our todays society.

[gray sand]

Wow...

[chrome badge]

That's not what I'm saying, the game crashing because a mod is now conflicting with an updated file isn't something a user can always detect.

[spring estuary]

Has giant mods and still became a huge hit, also Satisfactory. Strong mod community

[chrome badge]

Yes, please pay attention, I'm saying during early access in every sentence here.

[gray sand]

@light moat can I ask a favor?

[chrome badge]

This isn't me saying mods are bad.

[spring estuary]

I check that first out of logic. Launch vanilla and see if it breaks, from there on slowly add halves and identify cause

[gray sand]

-# I will say that. 😁

[spring estuary]

I know.

[chrome badge]

That's great, but you're not every person.

[chrome badge]

Do it, you won't.

[gray sand]

I have on many occasions 😏

[spring estuary]

Yeah. I’ve sadly had to realize that most people are not as bright as I had expected from society

[rotund dust]

I have to agree with that, I have over 2000 hours, and have never installed a single mod

[spring estuary]

I think you should give everything a shot at least once. You might change your opinion.

But play whatever is the most fun for you in the end

: )

[gray sand]

Crystal Meth?

[spring estuary]

If you think it’s a good idea*

[gray sand]

So you need to revise your statement 🙂 About giving everything a try 😛

[spring estuary]

Your choice. And please don’t take it out of context

[light moat]

Sure

[chrome badge]

Yeah science!

[rotund dust]

This is one of 10 things I instantly thought of and said, Yeah Nah, bad statement XD

[spring estuary]

.-.

[gray sand]

Never change 💛

[light moat]

Always the Dogg

[spring estuary]

Technically we only know about the effects after giving it a try and studying it for at least 1 time. Sooo

[chrome badge]

Atomic dogg

Excellent song by George Clinton

[spring estuary]

Revision 1: Everything that is for a fact known to be bad for health should be avoided*

[chrome badge]

I can't avoid my wife forever though.

badumtss

[gray sand]

That's why they call it the ball and chain.

So I did the vegetarian run on normal, should I do one on hard difficulty now?

[light moat]

Oh that sounds neat 🤔

[gray sand]

It's fun. No meats.
So you're running SSS for pretty much everything until you get to Mistlands and can switch to being a mage.

[shy marlin]

Just skip the steps and go no food 😏

[gray sand]

Mountain is rough initially because you can't do frost resist mead due to the bloodbag.

@shy marlin just realized that veg run means no Ratatosk mead either 😬

Berserkir and Animal Whispers are the only 2 of the new meads you can drink.

Minor Healing and Lingering Healing are the only 2 of those you can use 😄

[shy marlin]

you might be the worlds first person to use lingering hp mead

[light moat]

I have a build challenge- make a build utilizing a POI

[gray sand]

And it will suck because I'm not allowed to use any of the foods with high hp regen ticks 😄

[light moat]

Oh yeah! I randomly stumbled upon the new poi the other day!

[shy marlin]

i have yet to see it naturally

[light moat]

I stumbled upon it while looking for the merchants in my knife playthrough, was pleasantly surprised. It’s actually a pretty cool one, I tried to preserve it the best I could so it’s still in tact. Think I got a wooden weapon out of it, can remember.

It’s a cool POI, they did good with that one 👍

[steel mica]

I coúld try thís once I get to mistlands

Those tall dvergr towers are really good for premade bases

[light moat]

The mining sites look really cool too!

[steel mica]

Hard part about this is just trying to find one near some roots so I can actually make it into a proper base

and trying to find the right dvergr base

[smoky quarry]

is that the circular poi thats new?

[steel mica]

Have you reached mistlands yes?

[smoky quarry]

ye

[steel mica]

Nope, the dvergr towers have always been with the mistlands update so they're not new

[smoky quarry]

found like an arena in the Fields yesterday, quite noice. Got a wood mace

[light moat]

Yep, that’s the new one. Bone piles in the center?

[smoky quarry]

yea, like rip participants

[steel mica]

The new one from what I remember is the battle ground one in the meadows

[smoky quarry]

that i did not find of such

[steel mica]

^ just what dogg said

[stuck lake]

https://tenor.com/view/packgod-i-need-your-help-imp-gw2-zombie-gif-8470780539185564844

[gray sand]

We need to be able to build stacks of charred bones the way we can build stacks of bones.

So I can make my checkered floor out of the bones of my enemies.

[shy marlin]

I hope one day we can build metal piles

It'd be such a vibe for building a forge area

[gray sand]

Metal piles yes.
But also metal pikes to mount the heads of my enemies.

[shy marlin]

In fact there's so many easy new building options that aren't in the game rn and it makes me sad

[gray sand]

Wait for 1.0 before being sad.
They may just be saving them for the big update.

[shy marlin]

valid

[gray sand]

If they don't add it in 1.0, just ping Smiffe. 😏

[shy marlin]

ngl I think my opinion on the game is worth less than the average valheim player

[gray sand]

Just because I have $2.08 in the bank and the game is literally worth more than me....

[shy marlin]

also smiffe cursed my bell luck

[light moat]

Well surely my opinion is worth more, and I really really want metal piles

Lots of space in that misc section! 👀

[shy marlin]

I remember pre mistlands and even pre ashlands that one of the main arguements against adding more building options was that there wasn't enough space 🔮

[light moat]

I still need to finish my write-up of some things I’d like to see in the game now that the combat update is out 🤔

[shy marlin]

🤔 atp honestly the main things for me is giving staffs proper noise values and a few building things

Few other weapon balancing things like adjusting tower shields

[smoky quarry]

Balistae manned walls are super dope. Bugs, raids, deer, you name it, shot to pieces. All while you play in your base.

[steel mica]

If we dont get chunky wooden posts with that new wood type in the deep north im flipping a table

The reason I restarted was because I wanted to start fresh, and second I wanted to try a different building style

[raw token]

@gray sand It was a copper hole yes, but I'd used up that and more, I take a travelling portal into the plains and pop the towers - that build took a LOT of stone

[gray sand]

My first run I threw away my stone from copper mining because I didn't know better 🙁

[raw token]

I stacked up a bunch the first time through, not nearly enough though and I threw away quite a few stacks alone the way myself.

Second time through has been so much more efficient that I've not built up the massive inventory I have on my first world.

[visual sparrow]

i cant find yagluths location to save my life

ive been to 4 islands

no vegvisir, no big stone pillars, im at a loss here

time to set sail once again

so annoying because the first mountains i went to i found moders in literally 30 seconds

[rain igloo]

you using your world world or on a server ?

[visual sparrow]

not a server

[rain igloo]

https://valheim-map.world/ you can upload your world file and seethe locastion of everything

[visual sparrow]

nah that feels like cheating

[rain igloo]

i mean then get a boat and start sailing lol

[visual sparrow]

i think me raging trying to find the damn spawn is part of the game as much as i dont like it

[light moat]

Makes finding it feel all the better

[violet basin]

Thank you. sounds fun! Do you think theres an objectively "best" one? Or one that seems to be more popular?

[violet basin]

I could sift through the patchnotes but there's a wonderful community here who knows the ins and outs of the game and will explain it to me

[fluid cove]

can i ask about mods here?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[fluid cove]

aight thanks

[light moat]

To be honest, I haven’t used a lot myself? But I’ve been really looking to bronze amulet and the nimble anklet

[shy marlin]

Trinket just depends on playstyle

[smoky quarry]

reached the mist near the end tip of my massive island

[light moat]

@shy marlin What are your thoughts on bear armor vs root armor in the mountains?

Thinking bear, but I’m nervous I’ll be too squishy

[shy marlin]

Bear imo

[smoky quarry]

root on fields.

[light moat]

Figured you’d say that lol. Think I’m definitely gonna go for Fenris though.

[shy marlin]

[gray sand]

So "bosses only" because they never proc on normal enemies? 😛

[shy marlin]

That's not true, adrenaline management is a learned skill and vast majority have yet to figure it out

[smoky quarry]

I always play armor dodge so trinkets pop quite often

[gray sand]

Idk, on normal difficulty they never proc on normal enemies until I get to Seekers. Everything else dies too fast.

[smoky quarry]

I pop it with a few blocks early fight and then i go full smash

mostly on fuling camps, caves etc. Not random patrols

The eitr one is expecially good

2-3 fireballs per second, you demolish everything

[shy marlin]

It's a learned skill to manage how to maintain your adrenaline

[gray sand]

If everything is dead... maintaining is "find more things to kill" but if you don't need to kill more stuff... 🤷‍♂️

[smoky quarry]

There is nothing to manage, you jsut have to fill it up fast

[shy marlin]

It's not really managing it's being able to perform actions that keep it going

[smoky quarry]

perfect blocks, dodge, 3rd hit combos and bam

[shy marlin]

Idk how to express it without like sending hours of footage lol

But you can maintain pretty much 90% uptime on most trinkets

[smoky quarry]

wit hthe firestick its self fulfilling as well, just mage armor, trinket, queen & pop a potion, MG42 fireball

[gray sand]

On higher difficulties I see the value because enemies live longer.
On normal where you're two-shotting most things until Mistlands 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

i'm not even thinkin about vh

also the doing less damage on vh is a bit of a meme anyways

it doesn't really do anything except make boss fights longer

[smoky quarry]

if you like adrenaline, try pole. Fast atk + mroe adrenaline per hit.

[shy marlin]

I can say confidently tho that if you want adrenaline absolutely do not use gs secondary

Shit gives 1 adrenaline 😭

#suggestions message shameless plug

[smoky quarry]

pole with aoe is a bar filler with 'nough mobs around you

altough 2nd skill only gives 1point per mob, it staggers often, adds more stami.

[steel mica]

for real?

[shy marlin]

wish i was jokin

[steel mica]

😭

[gray sand]

How much do the wood weapons give? 😁

[shy marlin]

i gave up on wood weapons the moment i realized you can't get past bonemass or w/e with them 😔

[steel mica]

[visual sparrow]

found it finally

only took 2 irl days

its so far tho

going to take me another 2 irl days to get there

[raw token]

The seed I got for my 2nd run has been unbelievably lucky in my finding of things, I spotted the Yag claws in the distance while scounting around the edge of my bonemass swamp, didn't even need the vegvisir

[rain flare]

I think bears have traumatised me…
Dreamed of running into 5 at the same time 😅

[solid portal]

I got an amazing seed as well, didnt have to travel to other islands to get first 5 bosses

[raw token]

I had to go across a tiny little channel to get to Bonemass, but Yag is right there and Moder/Elder were on my main continent, trader and bog witch too. I haven't found T-Shirt yet but I have found a couple of the special locations.

[humble prairie]

man none of my friends like valheim the way i do. just started up my opwn private server wiht some light mods and no one cares. still love this game thouigh

glad we got people giving this game the time it deserves in here

[raw token]

I've got 4 guys I play with regular, it's pretty nice.

[humble prairie]

ive never gotten past mistlands. usually my friends bail on me then i restart a solo world till they gain interest again

[gray sand]

The only way I do multiplayer is basically "everyone is playing solo but we happen to be on the same map" 😄

[raw token]

We all have different seeds but we hop on each other worlds (usually try and match tech/food levels), one of them and I use my main world as a dual exploration though.

[gray sand]

Oh I keep it on the same map. Everyone just gets to claim their own island type of deal.

You can't fuck with other people's bases, but you can visit to check them out or trade for materials (some of us like to farm/mine more than others).

Like I will trade you any metal for blueberries because I always need them 😄

[gray sand]

@raw token you build wayyyy more portals than I do 😄

[high nimbus]

Hi guys

[raw token]

lol - a good many of them aren't really necessary anymore, I just don't take old ones down or repurpose them, and there are more elsewhere 😉

[gray sand]

I only ever have 2. One is renamed to match wherever I am going, the other is my "ohshit" portal for returning home.

[raw token]

Yeah that wouldn't work for me at all; I of course have the safety portal, but, like, what if you want to go fishing at a certain spot, or need a good place for finewood/corewood, the stone circle to change powers, a trip to the swamp for bloodbags or entrails or any number of reasons to go all over the place all the time 🙂

The trader, the witch, the arbor (I made), the crops in the plains and mistlands that can't be grown locally, the quarry, the, the the, HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?!? lol

[high nimbus]

I have portals all over the world. Sometimes more then one on the Same biom.

[gray sand]

Because all of those have specific names? So I just change the main portal to where I want to go.

[raw token]

Ooohhh, I see, ok - yeah, hrm...idk, changing it every time...I'll have to think on that try it out, think I'd rather just have em there and well then, what do you do with your left over copper holes then? I mean, you can't just leave that beautiful building space an eye sore right?

[turbid pilot]

Is the new bear set superior to the old troll set? I mean on my next world ill skip most of the bronze gear, and idk if i should get a troll or bear set

[gray sand]

RaiseGround to fill it back in.

[merry pebble]

It has 1 more armor value per piece but full set effect makes you slightly weak to physical dmg 🙂

[raw token]

Huh.

[turbid pilot]

So should i take the one that is more available?

[gray sand]

With the hoe?

[raw token]

Also it's kind of playstyle dependent. Did you like the Fenris set w/the claws? Same/same for Bear/Vile

[merry pebble]

Pretty much? The bear set effect also gives you some buffs, So really depends on you, you can also miss match the armor pieces 😄

[raw token]

No no no, not Huh? but Huh. 😉

[gray sand]

Ah.

[raw token]

Very good demonstration in our exchange there, of the myriad approaches this game allows for.

[gray sand]

NO! THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO PLAY AND IT IS MY WAY!

[lunar sapphire]

Denied

[gray sand]

Sorry, I meant:

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO PLAY AND IT IS SUBJECT'S WAY!

[lunar sapphire]

You don't want to play my way

[vernal pebble]

Around how many copies has valheim sold now?

[fair cairn]

around 12 million, maybe more

[subtle perch]

hiii. I think a month from the tinkets update it's soon passed, are there news they will fix a bit trinkets situation?

[summer thistle]

bears are fun tho. they're easy blocking practice

[rain flare]

Not where you have 5 of them at once 🤣

[summer thistle]

like others have said it depends on playstyle, however the "slightly weak" actually means you take a hell of a lot more damage from those sources. It's definitely the most risk/reward armour of it's tier but if you enjoy getting perfect parries then going in for killing blows its a ton of fun

[rain flare]

And I didn’t have a torch on me 😂
I legit remember my panic when I realised I needed to quickly craft one but didn’t have the materials 🤭

[coarse gust]

About this, I'll need to get my hands on an extra sata cable and a micro-b usb cable before i can rummage around in the files of my old computer to find the screenshot, so it will be a few days

i think i found the seed for it tho, but i doubt the super tall mountain will be there now, considering how much worldgen has changed

seed: 3dyqZGddGq

the mountain in question is the one at -3900, 7900 (western deep north)

the world map gen site doesnt allow me to choose an early enough version for it to display properly i think. considering ashlands still had mountains back then, and you could walk over to both deep north and ashlands

[merry pebble]

That Is Polaris

[coarse gust]

nah, its max height in current public is just 477ish

idk if i got the very top

[azure yacht]

+15M

[merry pebble]

Its max height was never over 500 afaik, not to mention the 700+ you said it was, that had to be done in other way than naturally generating.

[coarse gust]

do you count this jagged rock as the top?

[merry pebble]

The highest place on it i found in my world Is 482m

[coarse gust]

#screenshots

the top of the rock is at 487 for me

[merry pebble]

I checked only on the website, was too lazy to go in game 😄

[coarse gust]

also

just to clarify,
no, this is not the mountain im thinking of that was 700+
that mountain was waaay taller than this puny thing

[barren whale]

i suspect modded
or maybe 2020 worldgen was crazy

[merry pebble]

No idea about world gen in beta 🤔

[wide zenith]

Remind me, can we place jerky on item stand?

[grand juniper]

So how far along is the Northern expansion?

[spring estuary]

i just got the unluckiest crypt ever. 3 dead ends. 0.0 loot

: (

[heady parcel]

Just had a very scary thing happen - right in the middle of a fight all input stopped working, neither mouse nor keyboard gave any kind of response, so I just stood there taking a beating. Panicked and Alt+F4 so managed to avoid death - just got set back to last save - but is this something that has happened to anyone else, or does my computer have gremlins in the circuits? Since Alt+F4 worked it was obviously not a keyboard fault, so I'm confused.

[spring estuary]

#screenshots message

[radiant kelp]

Hello all I've just joined and hopeing to exchange ideas and maybe help each other on the progression of the game I've not played much but was there for the start of the game really all that's stopping me is lack of help as no one I know likes this game I haven't much to offer other than ideas and an extra pair of hands for fighting gathering or building will appreciate the help

[warm sandal]

I never had that happening to me. The game froze on me one time but the complete game was frozen, nothing moving anymore. Never had only the input devices unresponsive.

[merry pebble]

In latest devblog they said "Armour sets are being designed, dungeons are getting fleshed out, and enemies are being animated." 😄
#news message

Thats all se know

[heady parcel]

I suspect I managed to somehow activate another window without the game being deactivated and paused, I'll have to do some experimenting but I'm ready to blame my clumsy fingers for this one..

[warm sandal]

i had it happen that when i opened the inventory, i accidentally left the game with the mouse and then something attacked me and I had to scramble to find the mouse and move it back to the game (clumsy fingers here too :D) . I try now to be extra careful not to wiggle to mouse to much when opening inventory 😄

[heady parcel]

I'm on two screens, with the secondary screen shared between two computers. At the moment the secondary screen was set to show the other computer, so I was probably desperately wiggling the cursor around on the other screen which was hidden...

[warm sandal]

very likely 😄 the pitfalls of technology 😄

[livid mist]

hi

[neon magnet]

Woo, got a bear trophy on the third bear kill this playthrough 🥳 Condolences to the person who said they killed 100 with no drop

[quaint gale]

Gratz! I found my very first serpent last night on my way to the plains (￣ヘ￣)

[mortal talon]

Something very funny happened in my world, the Bog Witch spawn next of a fire geysers so the surtlings go inside her dome to attack me and become harmless, so now I have an accidental surtling farm.

[quaint gale]

That sounds fly, such good luck!

[dense bloom]

guys

[ionic elk]

Make a post in #1024264966712340510 with details like timezone and stuff. I'm not super amazing at the game or whatever but I love exploring so I'm down to help you get through your first few days and stuff later if it suits

[light moat]

Beat Bonemass last night on a whim kind of. Sailed back a huge load iron, and realized I didn’t have much more to do in the the swamp

[warm sandal]

to the mountain you go then 😄

[cosmic summit]

Would it be possible for me to build a wooden dock and then affix stone slabs to the underside of the wooden floors using iron floorpanels to prevent rain damage?

Basically make a floor sandwich. I want a wooden dock without a roof that doesn't rot

[heady parcel]

I'd use stone flooring since that doesn't poke through the wood as much. But you'll need to build a frame to hold the stone slabs up, and then put wood on top.

[fossil delta]

It still won't prevent the wood damage.

[merry pebble]

In some cases overlapping stone and wood structures did prevent it 🤔 not sure if it was fixed or not tho

[sly oyster]

Farm 4000 coal and root armor

[daring trellis]

Hi guys, I have this question, hope someone knows the answer: we play on a dedicated server with plyer-based raids, and if I steal Hildirs chest on my own, will others have that raid as well before returning it?

[heavy atlas]

anyone knows if there is a mod that improves wood chopping animations?

[ionic elk]

Probably in #mods-discussion

Trying to avoid spoilers, but is it just me or did everyone go on a raid vs every fueling village in Valheim after finishing Mistlands?

[light moat]

I absolutely did 😂

[west mica]

I didnt start playing until Ashlands was already out but I did all my charred forts

And still ended up with a dissapointing number of leftover gems

I can fully upgrade maybe 3 or 4 weapons when Deep North comes out
But, knowing my luck, the basic mobs there will probably drop the gems and I neednt have bothered

I did slay a lot of fulings though, my warehouse is all black metal chests. Yes they are not space efficient, but its easier to build more space then to mine a bunch of iron you could use for other stuff.

[steel mica]

BMS is easily farmable compared to iron

unless your playing with 2x than lols

[west mica]

Exactly, black metal has little legs

[steel mica]

Iron is easily one if the most important resource in the game

so using them for iron chest can be a little... eugh

That 2 iron bars is still something

[sly oyster]

That's why my main requirement when making a world is there's just gotta be a nice juicy size swamp somewhere I can boat to

I got a swamp with over 50 crypts and a nice little meadows landing area for my boat/portal

[heady parcel]

I still prefer the iron chests since they are easier to stack and align properly when building a storage room, BM chests take up tons of space and look terrible if stacked on top of each other.

[steel mica]

Same but in terms of resources I have, if I have excess iron I will use iron chest but if not, bm chest

[heady parcel]

Yeah true

[neon steppe]

oh my god, it just didn't rain in swamp for atleast 1 minute

that was glorious

i mean it's raining again, but what a feeling that was

[stoic wasp]

WTF do i play this game. Plays solo and just waiting for the next updates for new world n enshrouded. Game is ok but combat is Ø:;#%¤. If u dont have mats n place a portal straight when u land somewhere yr done. Love it when greydwarfs spawns out of thin air and if u run to far being chased then suddenly u have both a bear and a troll on ya ass.

[trail pelican]

i think you have to have been under tree cover or at a biome edge/transition that maybe was labeled as 'swamp' but not yet registering/applying "swamp biome effects"--I am ALMOST positive it ALWAYS rains permanently in the swamps

I like that idea but for variety maybe the very rare sunbreak there might be nice

[tacit crystal]

You might get better answer in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736
Although, (at least in solo world) returning the chest to Hildir will unlock the raid of that miniboss, defeating doesn't.

[merry pebble]

Not sure if the action of picking up chest Is the trigger for the raid, but even if it Is then only you will get them, not everyone, thats why they are player based 🙂

[smoky quarry]

Everybody hoping for the Ghost raid

[tacit crystal]

Everyone wanting more battle brothers!

[merry pebble]

That raid Is really cool 😄

[smoky quarry]

I want All the raids, all at once.

[trail pelican]

that might ironically be one of the easiest unless they had special AI because wouldn't they like all immediately fall to attacking each other lol?

[smoky quarry]

oh yea, without that. All on me walls and everything built

[silver shoal]

I noticed u can no longer build on to fortresses in ashlands

can u build once u are inside tho?

[smoky quarry]

yes\

[neon steppe]

i keep sailing into rocks because you need to be so goddamn close to islands to mark them in map 😐

like i can see that huge mountain, why is it not in my map!

[smoky quarry]

its about where you go, not what you see.

[shy marlin]

[fossil delta]

Its the sand bars that pop up one second before you run aground on it that irritates the bejeesus out of me.

I noticed the Moder power no longer effects the wind. The new stuff sounds useful, though.

[neon steppe]

fog reveal is fine when walking but i hope they increase sailing one in future

[fossil delta]

My biggest wish for the ocean is that all the waters actually become Ocean, instead of biomes I never actually see.

[smoky quarry]

you sail through the thicc mist and then you hear a bell in the far distance....ding.....ding

[glossy heath]

that would make weather switch pretty abruptly once you land and would limit environmental variety in shallow waters
and it'd make it harder to ensure serpents don't spawn close to shore

[smoky quarry]

As you get close, you hear the Ragnarok horn and big boat comes out of the mist.

[fossil delta]

I spend so much time sailing through useless waters, I think I could live with all of that. How many serpent spawns have I missed out on? Likely hundreds.

[smoky quarry]

You panic as you are in a dingy, only to see your former dead selves shouting from atop the boat. You died 52 times, so 52 skelli you`s are mad at you

[fossil delta]

Heh, that would be boring for me. I haven't died at all this play through.

[smoky quarry]

the wind is against you and they throw a grappling hook at ya ...

[fossil delta]

Neither has my wife. Which is a huge first for her.

I have to do a LOT of fishing today. We got Moders tears yesterday, so time to make a lot of fish wraps.

Troll fish, here I come!

[neon steppe]

oh serpents only spawn in ocean?

i've only seen 2 serpents one i killed with bow and other i tried to drag to land with harpoon but in the end it managed to get away 🙁

im right now like in the middle of sea and it says meadows

[merry pebble]

Plains are probably the most common biome i see in the middle of the ocean 😄 but meadows and black forest sometimes too.

[coarse gust]

I've had something like this happen,
But the cause was an xbox controller with stick drift that triggered an input when my desk shook a bit.
However, i find it more likely that you somehow managed to deselect the game window as your active one.
I've also experienced being able to drag my cursor out of the game window in regular gameplay, but i noticed immediately since i had nothing on my 2nd screen

[wicked quarry]

How do you cull a tamed pet for meat? I cant seem to damage my Lox

[merry pebble]

Either with butcher knife or turn on pvp 🙂

[wicked quarry]

ahhh thanks!

[crimson fjord]

is there a specific chat to discuss speculations for future bosses or things like that?

[merry pebble]

Not really

[crimson fjord]

so would this be the best channel?

[trail pelican]

sure, also sometimes suggestion discussion if you're making it an official suggestion in the "suggestion" channel--that's where folks discuss said subggestions

[crimson fjord]

not making a suggestion just wanting to speculate

[trail pelican]

just speculating tho, i'd say this being the general "valehim chat" channel makes sense

[crimson fjord]

also got a few questions

i remember hearing years ago that there was going to be 10 bosses and jormungandr would be the final, i assume this is not confirmed and just some random thing i heard

but if deep north update is full release i feel like that would be underwhelming with only 8 bosses

[merry pebble]

Somebodies imagination most likely 🙂 we knew how many biomes, and thus bosses there is gonna be for pretty long time

[crimson fjord]

yeah, i do think jormungandr could be the final boss though

but still 9 bosses feels wrong why not have 10 at that point

[merry pebble]

What would he be doing in valheim tho? He is wrapped around Midgard 🙂

[merry pebble]

8 🙂

[crimson fjord]

i mean 9 if jormungandr was a boss

8 feels wrong too

[nocturne wolf]

Eight bosses, one for each biome

[merry pebble]

So still 8

[crimson fjord]

i know, i just feel like they could add more
also im curious as to if anyone has speculations for deep north boss

i think it might be a jotunn

[merry pebble]

We have literally no info about 8th boss, so every guess is as likely as any other 🙂

[crimson fjord]

fair

[silk token]

i have huge suspicions it’s going to be whoever the “winter child” is, who is mentioned on a very cryptic foreshadowing stone in the ashlands, something about a huge mistake not knowing who they were or would become. so some kind of humanoid? would be cool if the boss was player sized for once instead of a giant thing, something more like a 1v1 pvp match. loki is the obvious choice but who knows.

[late rune]

A winter child could be baldur

[merry pebble]

That one is already dead

[late rune]

I have not completed my first full playthrough and have not spoiled the game for myself. Just started playing recently

[merry pebble]

Well, i meant in the myths themselves 😄

[late rune]

Oh ok. So valheim is post Ragnarok?

[coarse gust]

I hope its either a player sized boss.
Or one that is huge beyond anything we have seen so far.
Like a 20x sea serpent.

[merry pebble]

Baldur didnt die in ragnarok 😄

[late rune]

As a new player I have a question. Is it me or is the start of a playthrough insanely sluggish and empty feeling?

I thought baldurs death triggers ragnarok

[silk token]

if. but. idk how mythology-wise baldur would work. he’s either dead or he’s invincible, unless we have to make a mistletoe weapon to kill him

[late rune]

Well if he was killed but has not passed to Valhalla he could in theory be around

[silk token]

Or low-key tricks us into doing it and then Odin is pissed at us and he’s like actually you have to stay here now

I am expecting some sort of something with Oden since he’s always peeping at us

[late rune]

But yeah your logic doesn't have any holes lol

[silk token]

I would love it if the Raven was like “caw caw! craft a mistletoe beer or the boss will just kill you and you can’t hurt it! caw!” because 99% of players are like “ugh the bird is trying to talk to me again click click go away. “

[late rune]

😂

[silk token]

mistletoe BEER? voice to text… I guess a poison beer would work

[late rune]

Well in order for baldur to be in the game he would of had to died already. Which means his curse is broken and he wouldn't have earned entry to Valhalla yet or Odin is holding him in between realms as punishment

[wicked quarry]

Does Comfort help with your stat decline as your food duration lessens?

[nocturne wolf]

It only increases rested duration

[wicked quarry]

ok thanks. And what does rested do for you? I couldnt figure it out when reading the wiki

[nocturne wolf]

Increased health/stamina/eitr regeneration and skill gain

[silk token]

You can see what every status effect you are currently having in one of the tabs when you open your inventory. It’s either a Raven or a triangle I forget.

[merry pebble]

You know Baldur is a god right?

[late rune]

Yes but God's can die and be punished to other realms

[tacit crystal]

And he has a Gate!
-#

[merry pebble]

But why would he have to die to come to Valheim? There are at least 2 gods that come here and only one of them died/came VERY close to dying.

[silk token]

I just want Loki. So many cool boss mechanics. He could vanish, and then eight of him appear, only one is the real one. He could turn into Odin and be like good job you beat him, STAB!

[late rune]

@merry pebble I guess I don't know enough more about valheim I'm general but give the games task of the trials for the right to finish ascending to Valhalla and Odin could easily view baldurs failure to stay immortal and stave off Ragnarok I could see Odin punishing him with a trial. I know it's a weird twist but I'm just more goofing off with thoughts

[silk token]

I suppose there’s always evil Santa

“You killed my favorite reindeer”

[gray sand]

All the Jotunns are dead and we mine their skulls out for magic, so I doubt it.

[merry pebble]

Baldur was killed by another blind god that was given the only thing that could kill Baldur by Loki. And gods dont go to valhalla or anywhere once they die, they are just dead 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe we could get a jotun skeleton boss because Valheim needs some more variety in skeletal enemies

[crimson fjord]

to my knowledge they arent extinct, and odin casts people out to valheim, meaning a jotunn could be sent here

[late rune]

Ahh ok, I understand now. For some reason I thought God's could hang around Valhalla but we're not bound by the same rules as ascended mortals

[gray sand]

Does it? One of the primary complaints (that I also agree with) is the new ghost model.

[heady parcel]

Well, we're playing in a made up Norse tenth realm populated by mostly made up creatures, I'm fairly certain whatever monstrosity awaits us at the end of Deep North, it won't be anything plucked straight from the old sagas.

[merry pebble]

As far as we are aware all jotuns died and it was long enough ago that their bones petrified, and were most likely killed by other jotuns. 🙂

[crimson fjord]

thats just the ones in valheim, others could be sent here

[silk token]

but odin’s in the game, im gonna keep my loki copium

[gray sand]

Eikthyr's older brother boss. 😏

[minor bane]

Bygthyr

[crimson fjord]

as far as i remember, the only characters from norse we've seen that isnt just a made up weaker version is odin and eikthyr

[weary egret]

What if the deep north boss drops half of a key that when combined with fader's loot we'd be able able to enter another small realm to fight a god

[crimson fjord]

9th boss is thru that gate, and then 10th boss jormungandr bam

[gray sand]

No? The only other realm is "go to Valhalla now that you have killed all the Forsaken" as that is the entire point of the game.

[nocturne wolf]

We weren't sent to valheim to fight gods, we were sent to kill the forsaken. Which we would've already done by that point so we can retire.

[gray sand]

We are not Kratos. We are not here to kill actual gods.

[lusty dirge]

Thor can sometimes be seen in thunderstorms

[crimson fjord]

oh dang i didnt realize that

[heady parcel]

He's like two pixels in size or so

[crimson fjord]

so thor and odin are shown, why isnt loki?

[heady parcel]

Or rather his chariot, still cool as fuck to see that little smudge spitting lightning

[gray sand]

Why does Loki need to be shown?

[weary egret]

Ya but what if its revealed that the forsaken bosses were the good guys all along

[silk token]

how do you know he hasn’t been seen? He is Loki. It’s the stupid second white bird the whole time!

[crimson fjord]

fair

[gray sand]

It won't be because we already have confirmation they are the bad guys.

[nocturne wolf]

Eikthyr sends necks out to be killed by Vikings

[crimson fjord]

hugin and munin bring info to odin though

[merry pebble]

Leave Munin alone xD

[heady parcel]

I swear it's Loki I hear giggling every time I enter a burial chamber with zero cores, or a crypt with all three doorways blocked...

[silk token]

lol, the REAL Munin, the one that Loki killed and replaced!

[weary egret]

I just hope deep north is gonna be challenging enough, after they promissed its gonna be less mob dense than ashlands, theyve got to add strong enemies to balance out the boost of power the players have been getting

[silk token]

well, whoever the last boss is, I’m pretty hopeful if Fader is any indication. That boss was awesome.

[crimson fjord]

i still hope there will be 10 bosses

[gray sand]

Yeah, stop hoping.
Every time they make a biome fun and challenging they nerf it immediately because the casuals complain.

[merry pebble]

And break the biome-boss loop?

[crimson fjord]

ocean is a 9th biome. and theres nothing that says there cant be an extra biome added
maybe not even on the map

[gray sand]

Seekers used to be fun -- nerfed.
Ashlands used to be challenging -- nerfed.
Fairly certain Plains got nerfed to but I don't remember that one specifically.

[nocturne wolf]

I know deathsquitos were nerfed at some point before I started playing

[heady parcel]

Now that's a thought - how about making "hard mode" be what Ashlands was at ptr release, rather than a flat damage increase etc to mobs? Seems a better recipe to me to make stuff difficult in a good way, rather than force certain strategies to be the only way to succeed.

[gray sand]

You're doing that logic thing again.

[smoky quarry]

Valheim is their arena

[chrome badge]

Unfortunately games aren't just made for diehards who relish the challenge, more often then not developers side with the casual players in terms of difficulty.

[heady parcel]

O shoot, my bad, sorry!

[crimson fjord]

worst case scenario someone makes a hardmode mod

or you use yknow the built in modifiers you can add to your world

[gray sand]

🤢

[chrome badge]

You mentioned mods 🤢

[heady parcel]

Now I am pretty confident they will be taking a good look at the world modifiers before 1.0, some of them aren't really working that well - but since they're the stuff veterans do to shake things up, it's not priority at this point.

[crimson fjord]

is there something wrong with that? sorry im new to the discord here

[merry pebble]

Sev is just... very against them...

[chrome badge]

Not wrong, just some players don't enjoy the idea of modding Valheim 😄

[crimson fjord]

ah ok

[crimson fjord]

fair enough, i personally would only mod to make the game harder if i felt that additional challenge would be enjoyable

[merry pebble]

There are world modifiers for that 😄

[silk token]

deathsquitos got nerfed ur right

[crimson fjord]

world modifiers cant make enemies directly stronger (at least not enough)

[heady parcel]

Boils down to mods having their own channel, and folks are nudged to bring any mod related discussions over yonder, so as not to confuse newbies with stuff not in the regular game.

[crimson fjord]

fair enough

as far as i know isnt hter eonly one mods channel? and its only for issues?

[heady parcel]

[merry pebble]

Well, if double the dmg for them and 30% less dmg for you is not enough you can always manually adjust it with commands 🙂

It’s possible we are talking about different things. I’m talking about the hardest enemy difficulty which does double damage. How are you going to parry something that does double or triple your black armor amount?

[faint badger]

best game ever its why its my tag frfr

[crimson fjord]

my knowledge might be wrong, but i thought your block armor doesnt matter for parrying, only blocking?

you should get on with me right now :3
i will feed you to a serpent

parrying adds a bonus to your block armor depending on what you’re parrying with, still depends on block armor and max hp

Turn the difficulty up. Not everyone wants that level of frustration, most people are 'casual' which seems like a silly label to still be using in this day and age. Even with the latest updates I've seen a a Morgen be killed and then instantly respawn, its either broken or harmful to the gameplay if deliberate, and charred still hit harder than FromSoftware mobs.

If you are on the highest difficulty and its either easy to you or it breaks the game in the process, well done, you have solved the game and become very much proficient at it. If you want more challenge you have to play something new.

[gray sand]

Casual is an accurate label in any day and age 🤷‍♂️

[west mica]

As a pejorative.

[gray sand]

And increase health and damage is not a difficulty spike. It's just a "let's make the same thing take longer"

Either way I am going to nap. 👋

[heady parcel]

At the end of the day a game needs to be fun to the majority of its audience, or it will suffer. Pulling that off and having hard-modes challenging enough to satisfy the sweatiest skill monsters - that's the true unicorn of game design.

[shy marlin]

have good nap

[shy marlin]

The problem is most of the nerfs that happen in this game cannot be adjusted with the world modifiers. Like if you take a look at beaching the ashlands, it is not even remotely comparable to the ptb beaching

Or that seeker AI is nerfed and there's no way to possibly get back to the more aggressive version

[heady parcel]

Oh there again, wanting hard-mode to be more than just a flat percentage boost too mob damage output. Makes sense - and I hope it gets some traction when we get to 1.0. Because I love when there's lots of enemies and they're bloody relentless - fighting is fun - but where it's still the same game you're plaing. When base mechanics are changed you force a change in play style & strategy and by sheer numbers make some options completely unviable, I don't like it.

[west mica]

The beach landing now is still horrible and I know its a ragequit moment because its so brutal to die before you've set up a portal. I've seen people say you HAVE to do it with multiple people which isnt going to work for everyone.

It sounds more like these things were more fixed than nerfed to me. Sometimes janky programming can feel more challenging but it wasnt even what the developers intended.

The issue is that Heim is an indie game with a relatively small number of mobs who have a relatively small number of animations. If youre good at this sort of thing its not that hard to learn their patterns and then they become a breeze because you are always two steps ahead. You hit the skill ceiling and the challenge is lost.

But the skill ceiling is adequately above the skill floor that if they make it hard for you then its impossible for other people.

I've actually been saying for ages that the game would really benefit from having endgame content added with continually scaling difficulty and from what youre saying I think you would benefit from it too. That ways its qurantined from the late game content and doesnt make people playing that the first time frustrated.

For some reason people are often against the idea lol, its an attitude of, I would never touch this if it existed but I dont think it fits so I dont want you to have it, which is a bit rotten.

[shy marlin]

Yea wanting an expansion on world modifiers goes both ways, I often just talk about the world modifiers making the game more difficult, because that's the side i'm most invested in, but yes better world modifiers should provide a proper easy mode

[west mica]

I suggested some kind of craftable item which has to be placed on a node somewhere in the world. That spawns a bunch of mobs and you have to kill them all and stay in that radius. If you succeed, you get lets say some materials for a special armor set, plus materials for building the next level up.

Each 'beacon' you build gets progressively harder.

[smoky quarry]

you bubble & start blasting

All i wish was that powers had some kind of mini stun or confuse as you animate

a burst of encouragement

[warped rain]

Commenting on this, I have been doing a world of my own with the very hard combat modifier (mainly to see how far I could get before I threw in the towel), and I have currently gotten through Moder and into the plains era with a ton of trial and error.
I think a good complaint I have had was with making armor. I have already made quality 4 padded armor, and yet still find trouble fighting/parrying a good amount of enemies even with a fair amount of health. Most of the time I have to kill enemies by rolling and using a secondary attack on whatever weapon I am using.

[tiny tiger]

What about a rare altar set piece which could have biome unique variants to serve as the node

Like you have the forsaken altars for the bosses and then you’d have the slightly less forsaken altars for the resummonable mob waves with unique loot

[silk token]

or a "guess i'll hide on this unbreakable terrain with a bow" setting XD zzzzzzzzzz

[heady parcel]

Oh yeah, give mobs the ability to skippy-jump up the same ridges players can and we will see true chaos

[neon steppe]

whats ur guys favourite biome to build a base?

my current one is getting too small, i rather just build completely new one i think

[heady parcel]

I look for a place where I can build in meadows but have all the others nearby. Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountain and Plains are often close to each other, if I find such a spot that's where I'll build. If there's Mistlands within reasonable distance that is a major bonus.

For example, I am right now in the process of building my "forever home" in my no-portals run. I had the stupid luck of finding Hildir and the Bog Witch within sight of each other, on an island with all biomes except Ashlands and Deep North on it. I can pretty much run anywhere, little need for sailing - except for the bosses, they're spread out towards the edges of the world, but you work with what you're given eh...?

[silk token]

my ideal place is somewhere right next to plains, close-ish to mistlands, either plains or black forest. i think of it like settlers of catan, i want all the resource nodes near me just for convenience. bonus points if you're near traders

[neon steppe]

i'll scout a few islands then to see which has mistlands close. sadly my traders are half a world apart from each other

i'd love to build in the mountains but i want to be next to sea even more 🙁

[silk token]

oof. i'd say definitely if you want build a vacation home in the mountains. but nobody wants to haul ore up that hill....

[silk token]

oh one thing actually that is a necessity when choosing a home spot. the most important thing. it has to be a place that you think looks cool.

[heady parcel]

That's the most importand feature. Anything else can be dealt with, but you have to like the place where you settle.

[civic stirrup]

Hey does the sky tree move or is it fixed?

[glossy heath]

it's fixed, so it can be used to vaguely guess where you are in the world without a map

[civic stirrup]

Thats what I've been using but I've been having a few miss directs so I wasn't sure

[silk token]

it’s literally like it’s enormous and way above you and moves and changes accordingly as you travel, if you go far enough it might not look familiar because you’re seeing it from a different angle, but if you keep track of it you can always tell about how far and which direction you’ve moved. this does take a lot of practice. i occasionally get lost-ish playing without a map if it’s cloudy but i can look at it and know i have to go north-ish or whatever if i remember how it looks when i’m home

[civic stirrup]

Yeah its annoying, I'll get random fog while sailing then I end up getting lost

[silk token]

yeah, it sure makes sailing interesting. often i pull the boat over and go on a side adventure looking for merchants or gathering respurces if fog hits

fire cuts through fog really strong, using campfires or torches to keep your bearings while in fog is super useful

[glass orbit]

isn't there a penalty for the fenris armor set besides the buffs?

[azure yacht]

low armor

[neon steppe]

tarred lox kinda scary looking during night

[shell iris]

This! I want Plains terrain, Mistlands terrain, and a Yggdrasil root or two in my endgame base. That way all the stuff you have to grow and harvest constantly is right there with no travel required

[neon steppe]

yagluth went well, i took 1 hit and ran away

think im gonna craft a barley wine

[smoky quarry]

you guys harvest a lot.

imean that's the dream, you kind of take the best you can get. currently i'm a skip from the clothing merchant, across a small ocean to the swamp merchant, and i can see the sealed tower from my house and my plains farm is right there, with a bear spawn in the backyard in the black forest, far enough from the coast i don't have to hear necks aggro'ing on things, it's pretty great. the only thing is i haven't explored enough away to see mistlands yet, fingers crossed cuz im building this thing up bigger than i usually do

i actually dont like buliding IN the plains, it's constant "yyyyYYEE-hah." and things murdering everything and dying too much, i like a little peace. i try to find a large patch of meadows/black forest where it's generally peaceful

[glad night]

Ok, did the sausage recipe get changed?

Got thistle, entrails, and boar meat

[foggy glacier]

No.

got level 2 cauldron?

[eager bough]

My wife loves the ocean so we either try to find a very small island or build right beside the ocean

[foggy glacier]

did you put up your spice rack?

[glad night]

Thought it might be that

[glad night]

Don't have the recipe for it, does it need turnips?

[foggy glacier]

yes

[glad night]

Gotcha, thanks

[fossil delta]

We have not defeated Yag, but we are as "ready" for the Mistlands as you can be, aside from having the Wisps. So we decide to go a little ways into the Mistlands, to see what we can get early, such as the foods and wood, so we can make our picks. What is the first thing we run into, in the day time? A 2 star soldier and a gjall. Couldn't ask for a better welcoming committee. Oh, seekers showed up too, including a 1 star. We handled them all just fine, but what a welcome.

[orchid estuary]

Haven’t played for a while but is inventory space really becoming an issue?

[gray sand]

No.

But people will make you think it is because they make an active choice to carry things they don't need and then complain about lack of space rather than admit their choice is the issue.

[barren whale]

its not the worst but it definitely detracts from the experience if you enjoy playing a viking game and not an inventory micromanagement game
most of the "issue" comes from people being obnoxious about it because the topic has been discussed to death for 5 years

[gray sand]

Ah yes, nerd emotes... Still broadcasting maturity.

[sick crane]

meat riding is brazy

[gray sand]

Is that a sentence?

[sick crane]

reddit accent

[gray sand]

Huh?

Oh, you're trolling.

[fading field]

Any mod recs for an immersive mode playthrough? I already have nomap printer installed

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[summer thistle]

honestly you pretty much need to build oceanside in this game anyways, at least if you have metal through portals disabled

I enjoy playing with no portals ever so even moreso building dock accessable is so important

[steel mica]

Is it just me or does the resource modification effect fishes aswell?

[steel mica]

I am seeing alot of higher quality fishes

[tiny mortar]

just gave my chickens flax... they didnt eat any of it in a span of two days..

[jolly stag]

give them seeds

[keen trench]

all normal: hens never ate flax, just barley.. works also with tree seed, they eat beech and birch only

[jolly stag]

and carrot and turnip seeds i think

[keen trench]

yup, onion seeds as well, and they will also eat dandelion (but no thistle)

[tiny mortar]

seems like i was told an incorrect information... sorry and thanks!

i was like yea chickens dont eat flax, then im told they do, so i try it, and they dont...

so then flax is pointless besides its use for linen ye?

[keen trench]

eh it's ok don't be sorry, im wiki is very accurate but choosing to not use it and go by try/fail/hints is totally honorable (imo even mandatory on first playthrs)

[trim arch]

Is there any info on when deep nprth will release

[keen trench]

yep mostly just linen, apart for the very nice hay carpet as a build piece (i love it for rural ambience building)

[tacit crystal]

😅 Oh no, I read your comment wrong before (for some reason brain said it's about barley even though it read "flax")... Sorry!

[keen trench]

oh right, flax cand be fed to lox also

[tacit crystal]

Flax can be fed to lox but not to hen. 👍

Barley for both.

[tiny mortar]

all good! nice to know its clear now

[barren whale]

oh good i wasn't losing my mind yesterday when people were saying chickens ate flax

[tiny mortar]

also just found hildir! realised i had a black forest near my swamp portal so i figured there msut be more up north, and there she was!

[keen trench]

uhm strongly doubt that, that modifier affect the resources you get after killing/harvesting something, instead "combat" world modifier affects the rate at wich higher level (starred) enemies will spawn, but i don't know if it even affects fish (don't think so)

[tiny mortar]

just the bog witch now..

[keen trench]

nice! that's quite more useful than Hildir, prepare for running out of coins fast

[tiny mortar]

got two stacks and something, should be fine

also almost an ingame year into my world haha

[neon steppe]

i saw a tweet from lumahlin that they are discussing inventory changes

month ago

[dapper rain]

is there any knowledge yet on who the final forsaken or the winter child is?

and are they the same?

[keen trench]

hmm, yeeeh maybe for very essential things only is enough, keep hoarding all coins/valuables you find tho

[tacit crystal]

Those questions will remain to be seen.

[dapper rain]

i suppose it would be bad form to theorize too deeply

[keen trench]

oh no knowledge at all for both, lots of speculating theories but nothing official

[dapper rain]

though it is of note that the speaking voice in the trailer (which i assume is a forsaken) does not sound... child-like

[keen trench]

bad? nah, taking guesses is nice and fun, the problem is when someone claim own/other's interpretations are true and confirmed, not the case tho

[tacit crystal]

You mean the one narrated by Neil Newbon?
It seems bit more meant to be for marketing, since it announced game coming finally to PS.

Great voice actor tho.

[dapper rain]

maybe the child aged some, perhaps due to the events of its time in the ashlands

nothing kick starts the onset of puberty like being immolated in a building for 9 days straight

[keen trench]

eheh yeh lots of maybes, also "the child" as it's quoted in in game lore sounds a lot like some supernatural being, maybe not so bound to "age" concept

[dapper rain]

very likely

norse mythology has a few truly "supernatural" kinds of beings

in theory there could be lots more, in similar veins

including one particularly big one that i think is our winning candidate

if i say any more, i might very likely be giving actual spoilers

[keen trench]

yeh i wish i knew a lot more about it, surely would amplify lore interpretation and guesses, also Valheim is freely adapting and depicting norse mithology concepts, and adding consistent 100% fantasy things (10th world to begin with ) so yeh who knows

[dapper rain]

its worth noting valheim's interpretation of norse myth hints at trying to extrapolate its nature before christian censors had their way with it

[pliant hatch]

It won't be a spoiler unless (one of) the devs have actually told you who the end boss is going to be.

Since that seems very unlikely to me, you might as well post it.

No need to make yourself more important as you are.

[tiny tiger]

The devs would deny it if it is the actual end boss and deny it if it isn’t anyway

if they were to reply to the idea

[dapper rain]

the big hint is the mention of loki being fire-elemental, which wasnt clearly indicated in the eddas i think

[keen trench]

yeh not really spoilers since we all saw the picture (and still not enough to take real guesses, that was a background detail of a drawing after all)

[tiny tiger]

I wonder if the addition of bear and vile bear means there’s a chance of a polar bear or if that means there’s likely wouldn’t be a polar bear now coz on one hand it fits the north and tiers of bear but on the other hand there’s two bears in the game already

[chrome badge]

Definitely increases the chances

[dapper rain]

it would feel kinda awkward if it overshadows the actual reveal, if it wasn't real

[pliant hatch]

That's the risk of speculating.

[dapper rain]

werent bears not supposed to be in the game originally? why the change of heart?

[tiny tiger]

It was a popular frequently requested feature

I will say the bears definitely help fill out the Black Forest

Enemy variety is always welcome

[dapper rain]

i mean, they were a fun feature from that one creatures mod. they certainly livened up the forests

that's where i think the idea was born

[tiny tiger]

I like how Black Forest has 3 armor sets to choose from

[tacit crystal]

More like the idea was bjorn.

[dapper rain]

har har

[tiny tiger]

You got the heavier damage soaking set, a damage dealing set and a light stealthy set

I’m currently doing a playthrough and can’t wait to try out the new plains set, just getting into swamp now

[dapper rain]

nice that his arm doesnt get severed off

[chrome badge]

You sure about that? 😛 Not the literal 100+ suggestions?

[dapper rain]

they probably came from the mod

or just the forests being a boring moshpit of greydorks 24/7

[tiny tiger]

How are peoples experiences with the adrenaline mechanic?

[chrome badge]

That's an extreme assumption imo, considering just how different they are from the mod, and how basic the premise is.

[neon wasp]

Mostly good, nice boost during combat

[tiny tiger]

Which ones do you prefer

[neon wasp]

I'm using the Shackle for bonus stamina and slash damage

[paper roost]

i would say it depends on playstyle and in my case luck on trophies

[silver shoal]

Man I wish they fixed this glitch where u pick up your body and it says "overburdened" even though you have death marker

[steel mica]

Interesting, because I have not seen a pike this large

let alone near the spawn

[keen trench]

pikes are huge yep i was very convinced i found a lvl 5 but it was a 4, anyway seems very rng, iirc no radius from map center restrictions for fish level

[dense bloom]

valheim valheim valheim valheim

[foggy glacier]

I'm almost certain is totally RNG. I once found a lvl 5 perch in a low pond up to my waist barely 12m across. I just had to wade in and push it to shore.

[steel mica]

What about planted seeds?

Normally you get like 3, the resource modifcation effects crops but it seems like planted seeds like carrot arent affected

[keen trench]

ym resource rate modifier doesn't affect planted crops? always played 1x didn't know that

[dense bloom]

can i smoke mobs?

[steel mica]

With planted seeds you still get 3, but with crops on 2x resource drop you get 2

[keen trench]

uhm yeh i knew there was some oddity with that modifier here and there, (eg 2 eggs become 5 with a 1,5x modifier)

[steel mica]

Popping copper veins is still satisfying

even more satisfying on 2x resource

[wicked quarry]

I find it underwhelming. I’ve only managed to trigger it once I got to mistlands and the buff only lasts for 30 secs.

[native plover]

have only triggered it once fighting in the ashlands with magic, seems easier to trigger with melee though... takes too long to activate and the fight is usually over

[tiny tiger]

Yeah melee triggers it so easily I just encounters a draugr village and axe buckler combo I was getting adrenaline so easy

[shy marlin]

Magic maintains it fairly easily tbh

If your adrenaline is ever decreasing you can just toss a fireball and gain 3 adrenaline

[dapper rain]

https://www.google.com/search?q=did+either+of+the+edda+books+indicate+loki+to+use+fire+magic

[chrome badge]

What're you trying to say? It's becoming unclear

[dapper rain]

there's a mention in the game about loki using fire magic

[chrome badge]

Okay, we can use fire magic too, what of it?

[dapper rain]

it was maybe a bit more specific than a jury-rigged staff

[chrome badge]

I am so confused, what is your point?

[dapper rain]

i cant find the reference offhand. maybe someone who knows it will understand better

[chrome badge]

Understand what?

[dapper rain]

the chat message of the link i posted not show the reply context?

[chrome badge]

Not at all

[dapper rain]

it shows a clickable reference to an earlier chat for me

[chrome badge]

Nevermind man, you're clearly just posting links about loki for fun

[dapper rain]

https://imgur.com/eCaYkPw

[chrome badge]

Hint at what, good god it cannot be so difficult to explain yourself

[dapper rain]

so you can see the reply context in the screenshot at least?

is it not clickable?

(on the actual discord message)

[chrome badge]

That's why I said hint at what

The link you posted isn't clearing anything up

[stuck ferry]

What are chances to get vegvisir stone in charredruin?

[foggy glacier]

for Fader? probably pretty low. Wiki says 'very rarely.'

[stuck ferry]

bruh, just got to like 15th ruin? still not found it

[foggy glacier]

I'd guess very rarely means 1 or 2 %. You'll need to visit at least 50.

Charred fortresses (with the green beacon) are a much better option for finding one.

[azure yacht]

yes, still doesn't provide anything for the context

you were talking above than that about who the final forsaken could be

see, THIS is a much better explaining than just saying "context is there just look doesn't show anything"

[azure yacht]

still doesn't deny possibilities. That is a forsaken speaking

[maiden tartan]

Why do I need a mod for my friends to use server commands

That’s just so annoying and it should be a part of the main game

[azure yacht]

because server commands are not meant for players, they are meant for devs to test things

doesn't matter that we have easy access to them

it is still their intended purpose

[maiden tartan]

Why not have other people use them???

[azure yacht]

i literally just said it...

doesn't matter that we have easy access to them
it is still their intended purpose

[maiden tartan]

If someone has admin rights after getting their ID written into adminlist.txt they should be able to use them

Why only host

[azure yacht]

any question from now on, just re-read what i said (twice already)

[maiden tartan]

You’re not making much sense to me

While their intended purpose was debugging for developers, people use them for other things

Like building

Or managing community servers

So why not make lives of your players easier

[neon magnet]

Hahah

First time ever planting anything. No indication that things are too close to eachother. "Oh, I guess that's not an issue then?" - proceeds to spam out the rest in a tight cluster....

5 seconds later, they all turn yellow at once :<

[maiden tartan]

Ngl we should have something like a grid for farming

Eyeballing the distance for every crop is rather tedious

[eager bough]

My crops always curve lol

[neon magnet]

I guess there's a reason a mod for that pops up as the top suggestions in all lists I've seen 😄 I thought it would be that you couldn't place them if they were too close and people found that annoying. But being able to place them and then only finding out afterwards is even worse

[maiden tartan]

Yeah

[eager bough]

I tried the wood plank to follow and first row is great then the curve begins lol I am horrible!

[maiden tartan]

Valheim has so much mods that by all means should be a part of the base game

Losing your crops because they were a centimetre too close to each other is brutal on early cycles of farming where every crop counts

[eager bough]

For sure!

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, that happens in a game that advertises being a brutal survival game.

[maiden tartan]

It’s not very brutal in any other aspect ngl

Also it’s not a brutal survival game at all

You don’t starve, you don’t have any thirst to quench

You can outwalk most mobs on standard difficulty

[dense bloom]

There are other definitions of brutal, such as unprepareness leads to brutal consequences.

[maiden tartan]

Not really

Brutal dark in mist land killing my old eyes

[maiden tartan]

Crashed my longship in plains, fighting fulings and mosquitoes wasnt that bad

And I had iron gear with a bronze atgeir

Unlevelled

[eager bough]

So what your saying is you can’t drive a boat

😜

[maiden tartan]

It was dark and I didn’t see a turn

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eager bough]

See there it is the dark

Didn’t you hear the waves crashing on the shore

Hahahah

[maiden tartan]

Nah, I was stupid for driving too close to the shore

[eager bough]

Picking

[glossy heath]

i mean i kinda agree, always have
when i hear "brutal survival game", i don't think "when you die, we'll politely keep your items in an indestructible, never-despawning, buoyant gravestone and give you a really strong buff when you get your stuff back"

[maiden tartan]

And yet consequences weren’t that harsh

[neon steppe]

brutal survival games are the ones with pvp where other players offline raid your base and take all your materials from you that you spend hours to gather, when you are sleeping irl 😭

[maiden tartan]

Are you perchance playing rust

[neon steppe]

just a couple thousand hours in 👌

[eager bough]

Never been big into pvp , back when UO was first out did some but so much effect it . As well I suck so lol

[heady parcel]

Damnit, fired up and logged on to my old dedicated server to try and remember how I built my old castle, and bugger me I built so much better stuff two years ago than I do now...

[steel mica]

Rustiness showing

[heady parcel]

Indeed

But I got the inspiration I needed at least 😄

[steel mica]

No shame in looking up references or old builds

building is literally just art but you're building :)

instead of drawing

[gray sand]

SHAME. ALL BUILDS AND ART SHOULD BE ORIGINAL WITHOUT REFERENCE.

[heady parcel]

Cue Game of Thrones shame gif

Oh dear, a vile went on a genocidal rampage against the local wildlife near my base

Misty night, started hearing those scary roars and boars/necks/deer dying

[crimson fjord]

what shield do i need to fully block a troll attack? (if i parry)

[gray sand]

It's not about the shield as much as it is about your food.

[merry pebble]

Try bronze buckler and 2 hp 1 stam food from BF 🙂

[gray sand]

Wood Shield can parry a troll if your max HP is 83+
Which isn't difficult to attain.

[crimson fjord]

oh thanks, been forever since ive played much soim trying to figure stuff out before i start my new playthrough

[merry pebble]

That should be more than enough, you can also consult the spread sheet pinned in this channel 😄

[gray sand]

No one ever looks at the sheet 😭

[merry pebble]

Hence why i mentioned it 😉
So people will look if they want

[crimson fjord]

im looking and i dont fully understand it

[gray sand]

Did you read the README?

[crimson fjord]

yeah

this is just complicated as hell 😭

[gray sand]

What this sheet does is show how much health is needed for a block to succeed against individual enemies given a certain weapon or shield is being used.

This specific part?

[crimson fjord]

yeah ik

wait

😭 nvm i missed that specific part im so dumb

[gray sand]

Rest of it is just technical. Go to the Health Thresholds tab.

[crimson fjord]

what does the rank 1 rank 2 rank 3 thing? is that the shield level

[gray sand]

Yes, as you can upgrade shields.

[crimson fjord]

so wait i need 128 hp to parry a troll??

with wooden shield

[gray sand]

If you haven't upgraded it at all, yes.

So either upgrade it, or build the Bronze Buckler.
Watch how the number changes when I change the shield.

[crimson fjord]

o wow

[gray sand]

If you're good at parrying, Bucklers are the best shields in the game.

Also we can assume you aren't at zero skill, so you can update that block too.,

[heady parcel]

Have I just dreamed this, but couldn't you make metal bar stacks before? Or have I been eating crazy pills?

[gray sand]

Pills.

[heady parcel]

Dangit

[gray sand]

Hoping in 1.0 they add "Stack of" for the remaining left out resources.

Especially charred bones. So I can make my checkered floor out of bone/charred stacks.

[crimson fjord]

i know i used to be and hopefully i still am

i remember beating trolls with a flint spear adn no armor all the time so

[gray sand]

You hope you are at zero skill?

[crimson fjord]

good at parrying

[gray sand]

Ah.

[crimson fjord]

sorry i replied to the wrong message

yeah i want to be zero skill of course 🙂

[gray sand]

Armor has no effect on blocking so once you get the buckler + spear you can just wreck them like you used to.

[crimson fjord]

ah ok ty

[gray sand]

Spear has become my favorite weapon.

[crimson fjord]

W

always has been mine lol

[gray sand]

Though if they make the axe secondary into a throw (because Viking Throwing Axes were a thing..) I will switch back to being an axe man.

[crimson fjord]

lol

i remember how disappointed i was when there was no blackmetal spear 😭

back when yagluth was final boss

[gray sand]

What is more disappointing is the Mountain spear needs silver but doesn't have spirit damage...

[tacit crystal]

Imagine throwing battleaxe.

[gray sand]

No.

[tacit crystal]

[crimson fjord]

fr 😭

[tacit crystal]

Tbf it requires very small amount of silver.

Flesh rippers also lack spirit despite needing silver.

[crimson fjord]

ok i swear my testing world has to be on the wrong difficulty or something

OH THATS WHY

[gray sand]

?

[crimson fjord]

my world was in very hard

[gray sand]

[crimson fjord]

whats even more disappointing is that silver sword is teh best weapon for yagluth

[gray sand]

No, that's awesome.

[crimson fjord]

unless theres been changes since i last played

biome 4 weapon biome 5 boss tho 🙁

[gray sand]

Spirit damage having a function = awesome.

[crimson fjord]

just give us a good spirit weapon in plains

[gray sand]

No 🙃

😄

[tacit crystal]

Last time I used Crystal battleaxe against Yag, it was awesome.

[gray sand]

Biome 4 arrows are the uncontested best in the game even in biome 8 so.....

[crimson fjord]

whats the best buckler currently?

[tacit crystal]

||Carapace||.

[crimson fjord]

ty

[orchid locust]

I like it how when you hit a Vile with spirit damage the "meat cooking" sound plays 😂

hmmm, yeah, let it sizzle baby

too bad its meat is foul, but hey

[gray sand]

Once we get magical vomit attack, Rotten Meat will have a purpose.

[orchid locust]

honetly, it shouldn't even drop any actual bear meat in the first place. I don't wanna believe there still are chunks of edible stuff on that thing

[gray sand]

Everything is edible if you're hungry enough 😏

[orchid locust]

devs, please let me eat rocks™

[gray sand]

Permanently add weight to you 😄

[orchid locust]

I pretend to not get fall damage if I roll down a mountain, then

[merry pebble]

Only when you dont have any foods eaten and you are on 1 hp xD
Permanently ads 5 hp, removes 5 stamina and 1hp per tick
Also adds 5 weight permanently.
Can eat up to 3 😄

[foggy glacier]

I mean, they are actually farmable now.

why can they be food?

[merry pebble]

Heh, true xD though they were pretty much always, now you can just dupe them 🙂

[foggy glacier]

Now I'm picturing a whole line of them frowning at me while I sit at my dining table.

[neon magnet]

When going through the bronze grind, do you go about it in any particular way? Thinking especially about getting back and forth between deposits and the base.

Just see it as an opportunity to grind the Run skill?
Use the cart as much as possible? (if so, do you terraform to make roads or just go at it? 😄 )
Make outposts near deposits and smelt/craft on site to not have to transport ores/bars back home?
Move your entire base around?

(Assuming regular portals setting)

[fossil delta]

My Meadows base is usually very close to the BF, so close to the first couple of deposits I mine, so easy to get home.

[neon magnet]

I've gone through the surface parts of 5 deposits near my current base and I still feel like I need more 😄 And it involved a fair bit of running back and forth - hence the question

[fossil delta]

I mine out the entire thing, because the pit is a good, safe place, to put my garden. Tin is what I have to spend a lot of time running around for.

[neon magnet]

Right... I am wary of creating massive holes everywhere 😄

[fossil delta]

I think the most I have to create solo is 3. 5 when I play with my wife. It gets to be a lot when I am playing with 4 or more.

[gray sand]

Cart adds an extra 700kg you can run without being slowed down.

I usually build a chest next to my mining site so I can just pound out all the mining and then run back with what I can carry at the end of the day. When it is fully mined there are multiple runs to make but I can just pop Eikthyr for copper and portal the stone out.

[fossil delta]

It takes a lot just to give us all the weapons at level 4. Thankfully, none of us usually want the bronze armor.

[neon magnet]

I was going to say "at least tin deposits respawn eventually" but I looked it up and they don't. I was so sure they did - now I wonder how I got that impression 😄

[merry pebble]

Surprisingly many people think they do, at least at the beginning. Maybe because the flint respawns? And both are on the water edge?

[fossil delta]

I set up a work site, IE protected table, with a chest or two, plus a fire, so I can get a rested bonus right there, and repair my picks. So I only have to run home when I am wanting to get copper back to base, I have a portal there for every other reason, such as stones.

[neon magnet]

Might be!

[hollow burrow]

I'm building a castle thing because I killed the elder how do I place the furnaces so they look good

[neon magnet]

Setting up a portal so the only thing you have to run back is the metal seems obvious now that you say it. I didn't even stop to think about it - just went "since I'm going out for metal, I'll have to run it" - but also ran all the wood, stone etc back that way

[foggy glacier]

plus, leaving the portal up during means you only have to run one way

[fossil delta]

Checking out #screenshots and #building-screenshots can give you a lot of great ideas on how to build your base, etc...

[hollow burrow]

Ty

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[gray sand]

I love my bronze armor 🙁

[fossil delta]

I guess all the new biomes going active, have really changed how the game sets boss locations. Never before did I find a location (stone) in the Northern half of a map, and the location be in the Southern half.

[neon magnet]

Also, I kind of yearn for gradually feeling like I'm conquering an area 😄 So I usually cut away bushes and small trees as I spend time somewhere. I think I want to expand on that concept though - maybe start taking the time to build roads next time I'm in a new area.

I guess the world is too large so you can never really gradually "tame" it but just have to take a leap and start up a new little island of safety far away. But still...

[gray sand]

Wait until I tell you about leaving only the iron in the swamp because you can portal everything else... 😏

[neon magnet]

I have like 230 hours and I've never really progressed into the swamp more than just checking it out briefly 😄 Restart obsession is real

[foggy glacier]

anyone else get annoyed by the fact that the iron gates in sunken crypts don't drop any iron?

or anything at all ,for that matter?

[gray sand]

I don't usually spend effort on gates so 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

I do that for two reasons. First, cutting those down get you wood a lot faster than cutting down trees (At least it feels like it for time invested). Two, it makes it easier to see the deer, neck and boar, so I can shoot them from even further away.

[foggy glacier]

I don't either, now.

[fossil delta]

Yes, plus I am annoyed at how now that they let such things drop from stuff in the mountain caves, its sitll pretty rare to get iron, copper, or bronze from said items.

[foggy glacier]

agreed

[fossil delta]

At least I get a fair amount of stuff from the bridges and buildings in Mistlands. But still, the materials are right there. They do not atomize when I break them down.

[orchid locust]

spent quite a bit of time destroying an iron gate just to come out with nothing the first time I found one in sunken crypts, yeah

or I guess, I did come out of it with a bit of extra experience with piackaxes? 😂

would have preferred a nice bar of iron instead...

[sly oyster]

hit copper rock once, 30 enemies show up

[onyx lava]

What is this game sometimes.. finally be moder finally have time to play got the plains to start there, first group i run into 1 2star 2 1 star fulings.....

rant over

best way to fight is dodging right, blocking a 2 star tends to stun me

[sly oyster]

meanwhile with creature level mod you show up and they are 5* with elemental attacks and split into 7 more

you wont be able to parry plains stuff for a while, correct

[onyx lava]

[sly oyster]

plains is a good time to swap to those yep

[jolly stag]

i prefer to move back when they try to hit me and hit them afterwards

[onyx lava]

i have tier 6 forge and dark metal what is required for the weapons? is it th cloth?

[tacit crystal]

Plains tier gear require ||linen||, which is made from ||flax||.

[onyx lava]

They move around a lot too

[tacit crystal]

You can also get forge to tier 7.

[onyx lava]

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, iron for furnace and armor, then black metal for weapons and tools.

[hearty flume]

Uhm, I think there is something weird about my seed xD

There is a LOT spawning in the water which should not spawn in the water xD

[fossil delta]

I've only had that occur with a swamp. It was all under water, and only had guck trees, but was spawning draugr, skeletons and surtlings. Closest I had to that recently was a ground shaking event, where the trolls spawned out of the water, and went back into it.

[hearty flume]

I had hildir spawning in the grass of a swamp uhm..

In Valheim media under screenshots you can see where she spawned

[fossil delta]

😄 😄 Well, I've had the game spawn crypts and guck trees and swamp houses in other biomes, so I guess an entire Trader camp isn't impossible! 😄

[hearty flume]

Hahaha

[cosmic summit]

My chickens are always clustering in the corner of the fence furthest from the coop. Im considering ripping the fence down and letting them roam to see if they'll lead me to some kind of chicken paradise

[fossil delta]

They do seem to like to cluster. I have like 6 different coops for my chickens, and none of them cluster in the same corner/direction. So it seems to be a coop by coop decision.

[cosmic summit]

Its actually pretty comvient with my setup. There's a door connecting the chicken run to the boar pen which is outside the garden walls. They all hang out inside the boar pen, which has a roof so they're safe in the event of a bat raid

[fossil delta]

The air raids are why I put them all inside of a coop as well. I'd build a more traditional one, but Valheim doesdn't provide those kinds of build pieces. 😄

After all, in real life, I had to protect my chickens, back when I actually owned a farm, from hawks, crows, owls, coyotes, and foxes. As well as my neighbors dog.

[onyx lava]

Does relogging change mob spawns if you are not in the area? like them on other end of a portal

[shy marlin]

🤔 good question

[merry pebble]

I dont believe it does, no

[shy marlin]

It does break aggro I know that to be true

[merry pebble]

I have come back to enemies that were close to portal before i portaled away more than once

[neon steppe]

after darkwood there is only ashwood left right?

there is no other wood building stuff between them

[onyx lava]

yes but relog between? ill try

[merry pebble]

Yggdrasil wood 🙂
-# But as Scales said below only few pieces

[shy marlin]

There's a few things with yggy wood but yea

[nocturne wolf]

That won't change it, they're already unloaded. Most creatures don't despawn.

[neon magnet]

I wonder what the last map marker is supposed to be? The others are fairly simple (although the "hammer" one might be interpreted as something else).

Trying to find a better way to mark things 😄
