[shrewd delta]

God damn this first boss

I’m killing him rn no joke

How much heads to summon him

[fluid cove]

cook some food first

you can eat up to three diff food at the same time to buff your HP and stamina

[shrewd delta]

Okay bet

[fluid cove]

you'll need them

also get the "Rested" buff on as well

either by sleeping in the night or sitting in a shelter by a fire for 20s

[gray sand]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[shrewd delta]

Rested is like the red thing that millennials get tattooed on themselves right

[fluid cove]

uhuh

rested gives u faster stamina regen

[shrewd delta]

Bet I have that

Okay so cook food I will do rn

[copper stream]

Wait the elk thingy is supposed to be easy :D?

[fluid cove]

upgrade ur armor and weapons for an easier time to kill it

[gray sand]

Pathetically.

[glass orbit]

yeah just figure out the dodging mechanic and you're golden

[fluid cove]

also the next biome's mobs gon hit hard so the upgraded armor will help u survive as well

[copper stream]

Ahhh... I'll give it another try then 😄

[shrewd delta]

Also how can I sleep when it’s raining

Cause I can’t have fire

[gray sand]

I believe in your ability to think critically and solve this problem.

Possibly by using the same method real humans did in the past to solve said problem.

inb4 someone else ruins your ability to learn....

[empty cradle]

fun times tryin to get up a mountain on a sliver of BF with plains on both sides

[fluid cove]

the way fire works in valheim is

1. it needs to be dry
2. if indoors the smoke needs to be vented out

[gray sand]

Called it.

[fluid cove]

do what you can with this information

[copper stream]

Is there a way to make night go faster?

[gray sand]

Sleep.

[copper stream]

How do you sleep....

I don't have the blueprint for it

[fluid cove]

bruh i saw a guy on reddit having Moder's mountain surrounded by plains and the mistlands 😭

[empty cradle]

i havnt even gotten out of the swamps yet got nailed by 2 squitoes and a 1star fuling at same time

[shrewd delta]

I just cooked my food so long I got cool

[merry pebble]

Fortunately there are always 3 mountains 😄

[empty cradle]

plus its about midnight in game skirting the plains is bad times lol

[fluid cove]

you mean Moder's spawn points always comes in 3?

[gray sand]

At a minimum.

[fluid cove]

the other day i started a dedicated server with a friend and we found two Eikthyr spawns in like 500-600m from each other

[gray sand]

You should have done a 3-2-1 summon at each altar and seen which of you killed theirs faster.

[merry pebble]

Yep, the sequence for number of boss altars Is 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5 😄

[fluid cove]

#screenshots message

[fluid cove]

it'll be me

[gray sand]

DYING ON DAY ONE???

[fluid cove]

i got executed by mother nature
(chopping a tree without looking)

[merry pebble]

-# And maximum 😉 unless you spawn more yourself

[gray sand]

I don't think I've ever chopped a tree on day 1 before tbh.

[fluid cove]

i like building a house next to the spawn altar bcs i'll go back to it often anyway

the spawn altar is a bit further north

i'm already running a pig farm there now 😆

[gray sand]

Yeah but I don't build the stone axe. I skip to flint.

Which rarely happens on day 1.
So there is a lot of tree punching, but no chopping.

[fluid cove]

if only early game minerals are mineable at later biomes lmao

not that they have use for it

just a neat thing i'd like to have

at least iron and copper are abundant in the mistlands

[empty cradle]

welp i made it up the mountain found a frost cave and about 20 ft away up the hill a silver vein pokin out but guarded by a golem :S

[tacit crystal]

Ah, the rite of passage.

[fluid cove]

oh the other death was me trying to take down a bee hive and got poisoned to death
(i was at 15 HP and neglected to eat)

[gray sand]

Spears one-shot hives from a safe distance.

[shrewd delta]

Who ever said eikthyr was hard lied

[fathom gulch]

What do you all use for player base objects? Do you put workbenches everywhere?

[empty cradle]

@fathom gulch WUT U MEAN LIKE FOR BUILDING STUFF OR STOPPING ENEMIES FROM SPAWNING

[fathom gulch]

Player base area to stop enemies from spawning

[merry pebble]

Campfires 🙂

[fathom gulch]

And also to prevent dropped items from vanishing

[merry pebble]

Campfires prevent spawns and items despawning even if they are not lit and are less visially intrusive than workbenches 🙂

[balmy mauve]

how much is "enough" tar?

240 tar is pretty good, right?
This is ofc after I decked out my main base in darkwood and shingles

[tacit crystal]

That depends how much you're planning to build.

[steel mica]

Its... ||not enough||

[coarse gust]

A full darkwood roof for your base will eat that.
all of it

[balmy mauve]

Yea it’s not enough

[steel mica]

In valheim

there are rules in purgatory...

[empty cradle]

welp scoured the whole mountain no onion seeds :/ most of the slopes were about 75 - 80* but found 4 frost caves and a howling cavern also got my moder eggs still gotta go kill bone boi

[steel mica]

1 - building materials is never enough

2 - running away is a viable strat

and number 3 and I cant stress this enough...

3 - THAT LONGSHIP FULL OF IRON IS NOT ENOUGH

[empty cradle]

6 longships full of iron isnt enough

[steel mica]

A drakkr full of cart and all that full of iron is never enough

[lusty dirge]

They can play hard to get, found mine on my 4th (relatively large) montain this playthrough

Had everything else, was just waiting for onions before confronting moder

[empty cradle]

got all the mountain trophies tho

got moder location too its closer to home than elder was

will be my next voyage

[tacit crystal]

#memes-and-clips message I wonder how much damage that would have dealt. @nocturne wolf

[nocturne wolf]

I'll check now, but I'd guess it's the same as the other swipes. It's all a single animation so every hit in the combo has the same damage and hitbox.

[tacit crystal]

Would be fun if it was double damage like with most of weapon attack combos.

[steel mica]

Honestly what enemies have combo attacks

the fuling beserker has 1

[tacit crystal]

Not many yeah.

[nocturne wolf]

Cultists, bears, seeker soldiers

[steel mica]

all three of these bad bois do like 2 combo

Morgen cant forget about that

Curious, do loot generations get effected by resource modifier?

[tacit crystal]

They drop more according to modifier number.

[steel mica]

The enemies do double and stuff like muddy scrap piles its resources are doubled aswell but what im specifically talking about are the loot generations like chests in dungeons

apologies for the confusion

[tacit crystal]

Ah. The loot from chests are also affected by the multiplier.

[steel mica]

That is sweet, because I was able to haul a decent amount of iron on my first swamp

like half a cart to get started on iron stuff

[tacit crystal]

I've played in one world with 1,5x resource multiplier and noticed all chests granting more loot, which made getting iron also much easier.
In multiplayer I mean, before Ashlands update.

[fluid cove]

i find the 1x resource rate too tedious especially in single player, 1.5x does hit the sweet spot though

[tacit crystal]

For me 1x is fine, but 1,5x is good for co-op.

[azure yacht]

pretty sure no one

[lavish jasper]

hard mode is too hard

[gray sand]

No?

Hard and VH are just "same difficulty as normal, just takes longer"

[cedar stump]

good morning my fellow vikings

[gray sand]

👋

[cedar stump]

still no yagluth stone found sad, but we went from no ore to 2 full chest of black metal/iron x)

[gray sand]

green black metal needs more uses tbh.

[cedar stump]

it sonly weapons/shield or something right?

need to make loads of threads for the armor

[gray sand]

And the chest "upgrade"

[cedar stump]

we are still only using the basic storage chest x)

[gray sand]

Iron chest is technically the best one 😄

Like BM chest has more space, but iron chest can be packed tighter.

[cedar stump]

we should probably upgrade our storage we dont even know where to put our ore atm haha

[gray sand]

Upgrade to iron and appreciate the glory.

[cedar stump]

gonna need lots of iron to upgrade padded eventually anyways can always just farm more crypts idm

[gray sand]

Iron is one thing you will never stop needing more of.

[cedar stump]

glad to hear it, I like hoarding but wasnt sure haha

dont even know what to do of our silver/copper/tin 😛

[gray sand]

Silver sword is BiS vs. Yagluth.

Copper becomes a building material when you hit Mistlands.

[cedar stump]

Im dumb 🙁

[gray sand]

Nuuuu

[cedar stump]

I was too excited to get our obliterator I shoved my silver sword into it...

since I just made a black metal sword.

[gray sand]

BM sword is good overall. Silver is just better vs. Yag specifically.

[cedar stump]

my friend wasnt happy about it haha

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword is also good for some enemies in ashlands

[steel mica]

Swords in general are reliable

[rugged bridge]

And maces in general are too reliable

[gray sand]

Spears, my beloved.

[steel mica]

I like swords because of its special attacking, being one of if not the highest damaging weapon in the game

and I like swords because well they're sword

especially the 2-h ones of my sweet lord krom and slayer greatswords

[nocturne wolf]

Sword and knife both have 3x damage on the secondary

[gray sand]

2-h swords are fun, they still need to fix the bug on 1-h swords though.

[nocturne wolf]

What bug?

[steel mica]

what bug?

[gray sand]

Not having MtP.

[steel mica]

same braincell

[nocturne wolf]

How do you know that's not intentional?

[gray sand]

Because they did have it.
Then they added 2-h swords, which should not have had it.
But something got switched and 2-h's ended up having it and 1-h's ended up not having it.

They fixed the bug for 2-h's, now just need to fix it for 1-h's.

[nocturne wolf]

If they wanted to remove it they would've done that at the same time they changed 2h swords

[gray sand]

Conjecture.

[cedar stump]

sorry.. but whats mtp D:

[steel mica]

multiple target penalty

basically reducing damage of your weapon when you hit multiple enemies at once

[nocturne wolf]

Dealing less damage when hitting multiple targets with one attack

[cedar stump]

ah gotcha like when mining and hitting multiple rocks or cleaving with swords ennemies

[gray sand]

Right now swords are the sole 1-h weapon that does not have said penalty. Which is bs.

[steel mica]

goes with gathering resources aswell like mining you said and chopping but not as impactful as combat

[cedar stump]

and its all ive used so far 1handers 😛

well swords, tempted to try magic once we step into mistland eventually.

[nocturne wolf]

1h axe secondary has no mtp

[gray sand]

Not having MtP makes 1-h swords objectively better than other options.
Which is a bad choice if it is intentional.

[steel mica]

ngl I have a reason to make lighthouses now...

I am slowly getting lost at sea lmao

[gray sand]

Very slow, made-for-stumps secondary-only vs. all attacks not having it... How is this a valid comparison?

[orchid locust]

a lighthouse won't really fix that problem if you're too far away from the coast anyway

[steel mica]

Atleast its a indicator if im going in the right direction when I get close

A no map run really does test your marking knowledge

[orchid locust]

ah, yeah, I feel you

[nocturne wolf]

1h sword secondary does have mtp

[steel mica]

Honestly im so lucky to find hildir and haldor so fast in a random seed

I just checked every single BF and Meadows I came across

Welp im back home with a decent haul of iron to get started

not enough tho still need alot

[cedar stump]

no map run sounds pretty wild

going on a boat adventure and dieing or losing boat to some bs and trying to get back oof x)

[steel mica]

Its not too harsh when you get used to it

[orchid locust]

you simply don't, or make really sure you memorize the path

and yes, you get used to it

[steel mica]

I actually like it because I dont have to look at my map every damn which irritates me lmao

[cedar stump]

finding bosses must be a pain tho no

[orchid locust]

the minimap as a whole is a concept I'm not really fond of in many games

[cedar stump]

you just like click the boss stone and go into the direction it nudges you?

[steel mica]

Yes

[orchid locust]

oh, let me tell you, I had a Vegvisir which kind of glitched out, because it literally pointed me in one direction the first time, and another the second time I came prepared to sail

[smoky quarry]

add map view for map table, that is more exciting

[orchid locust]

and I was there thinking "what the hell???"

[steel mica]

Really your best source of indicator is the sun

[orchid locust]

I'm sure because there was almost a 90 degrees angle of difference

[steel mica]

or ya know...

THE GIANT TREE ABOVE US 💀

In a no map run the tree is a god saver as to not get lost

[cedar stump]

always thought u could get to yggdrassil at some point playing this game

[orchid locust]

yeah, no, there are tricks to get around without getting too lost, but the issue was with the vegvisir itself: what's the point of it if it keeps changing where it points?

[gray sand]

Wait for it...

[cedar stump]

unless! Ive got no clue about mistland/ashlands

[steel mica]

Probably pointing to multiple other boss locations

but from wwhat I understand it points you to the closest

[orchid locust]

it should point to the nearest one by default

[steel mica]

I could honestly just run full stamina

fighting enemies in very hard combat is a chore

[orchid locust]

and trust me, when I checked the actual map of the game, it was pointing towards a second elder way out of range from the first

which made no sense

[steel mica]

lol

THIS IS WHAT IM AFRAID OF

TROLL RAIDS IN MAXED OUT RAIDS MODDIFIER

[rugged bridge]

Following norse mythology, if you could traverse yggdrasil, it'd literally mean escaping Valheim

[icy mountain]

I can’t find the stone for the Black Forest boss. I’ve finally traversed the current land I’m on but apparently will have to set sail now. As a new player I feel I’m missing how things progress.

[copper geyser]

I think the Elder vegivisir is inside crypts

[cedar stump]

its how I found mine at least

[merry pebble]

The vegvisirs (stones that reveals the boss position) are usually found in the biomes dungeons, which in black forest means burial chambers + it can be also found around the stone towers greydwarfs guard 🙂

[icy mountain]

Its probably in the troll cave I’m afraid to go in 🤣

[merry pebble]

Nope, cant be there 🙂

[icy mountain]

I’ll have to do some more grave robbing if it’s likely in a crypt. I was not aware of that. Thanks

[cedar stump]

moar cores for ya

[icy mountain]

Lots of yellow mushrooms as well. And Amber and pearls that I can’t do anything with yet 😂

[cedar stump]

I dont even know what to do with my yellow mushroom by now haha

[icy mountain]

I just started so I eat them lol 😂 not sure what all to do with them. Just got to the part with smelting tin and copper for bronze. Cauldron and fermentation but haven’t got a lot of experience there yet. I got some carrots lol

[cedar stump]

honey/shrooms were my best friend early on

[icy mountain]

I’ve got 4 hives right now! 😂

[cedar stump]

should be plenty tbh, we are 2 and we had 4 since the start.

and like rn I think weve got 200 honey haha

[icy mountain]

I think this game would be a lot of fun with a small group.

[merry pebble]

It indeed can be 😄

[cedar stump]

having lots of fun playing with my buddy 😄 he builds and I cook/potions/farming 😛

[icy mountain]

Would make the bears easier to take care of! They are my mortal enemy at this point.

[mild grove]

I just started again yesterday (never defeated the 3rd boss before). I think multiplayer could be very nice, but I think I can play to little hours a week to be a reliable partner for 1 or more players

[cedar stump]

Mines are either Lox or Growth but only when im already fighting something lol clearing a village and getting 2 lox on you is pain for me

[icy mountain]

I understand that completely! I work and have kids so it’s hard to play sometimes.

[icy mountain]

I only have seen them in YouTube videos at this point. No in game encounters yet.

[cedar stump]

someday you will get there 😄 just take your time and enjoy your adventures 😄

[tacit crystal]

Once you get few down, use their own hands against them. 🤜

[icy mountain]

I have not crafted those yet. I seen them but I try the stealth archery play style always. Better/safer for me lol

[cedar stump]

do you guys usually keep ur base at one spot or do you eventually move ur base/build a 2nd one?

[tacit crystal]

The thing is that they resist pierce (and blunt) damage, but not slash. They're perfect enemies to practice proper close combat skills like dodging and parrying.

[tacit crystal]

Outposts until I find good location for main base.

[icy mountain]

I was not aware of that! I had trapped one with walls and set a fire under it.

[cedar stump]

going into mistland soon-ish was debating a change of scenery for base 😛

[copper geyser]

You should see a doctor! D:

[icy mountain]

I built what I call my main base near the elder stones and have made a couple small outposts and recently set up portals to make the travel easier. Wish I could take my copper and tin through them lol

[cedar stump]

ye been in meadows near elder stones with my greyling neighbors

[copper geyser]

You can always change your world settings when you launch (unless you’re in a server)

[tacit crystal]

When you deal damage and see damage numbers on enemies you can tell by the color about their resistances/weaknesses:

• Yellow = target is weak against that weapon type (takes 1,5x damage)
• White = target is not weak nor resistant (takes normal damage)
• Grey = target is resistant against that weapon type (takes 0,5x damage).

[icy mountain]

I’ve only got 30 hours or so in and I feel like I YouTube stuff to try and figure it out. I just found this discord today. I play no mods at this point. Most of my hours are spent running around and revealing as much of my map as I can. Running and hiding from trolls and bears.

[copper geyser]

Red is damage done to yourself 😉

[icy mountain]

Figured that one out quick lol

[copper geyser]

Ah, the joys of learning through pain

[tacit crystal]

Many figure it out after cutting the first tree.

[icy mountain]

Yeap exactly what happen

[nocturne wolf]

If you have killed eikthyr you are strong enough for trolls and bears. Try to fight them instead of running and eventually you'll be more confident.

[icy mountain]

Man I ran and shot him with arrows for ever. I probably wasn’t ready for him I thought I was.

[copper geyser]

You’re never ready for your first fight

[nocturne wolf]

A bear or a troll? Arrows are good for trolls, not bears.

[pliant hatch]

Or when building and taking one step too many.....

[copper geyser]

Or when AFKing atop their chimney

[pliant hatch]

That's after The Platters show up, singing "Smoke gets in your eyes", I assume?

[cedar stump]

first few fights against new monster always go like this 😛 man up and learn to go in and dodge/parry 😄

will be rewarding

[copper geyser]

Can always hide behind a shield until you get used to those parry windows

Or dodge windows!

[tacit crystal]

Yep, like I mentioned above, bears are good targets to practice dodging and parrying since slash weapons are much more viable against them than arrows.

[cedar stump]

I was the same as him a week or so ago, even my first venture into plains I got smacked until I parried and dodged 😄

[tacit crystal]

While they have more HP they deal little less damage than trolls and they also have more variable attack animations. Hits with one paw are easier to parry even with wooden shield.

[copper geyser]

JUST

MAKE SURE

YOU UNEQUIP

YOUR PICK

Blocking with that thing is worse than taking the hit XD

[cedar stump]

I havent took the risk to parry/block the fuling zerker yet tho haha

[nocturne wolf]

With no stars they won't be a problem

[cedar stump]

could I parry/stun their combo? prolly right

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, it's blockable

[cedar stump]

ill have to get back in there! missing 2 totems anyway and havent seen many night creatures there

[copper geyser]

It’s doable. The problem is having enough max hp, armor and block value

[nocturne wolf]

Armor doesn't affect what you can parry

[cedar stump]

black metal shield/200+hp with buffs, block armour probably do?

or nah

[copper geyser]

Yeah, you should be fine

[nocturne wolf]

You'll be fine, they're balanced to be fought with mountains equipment

[cedar stump]

yeah no, more of im not sure how parry works like sometimes ill take damage

[nocturne wolf]

With the way armor is calculated, you will always take some damage when blocking/parrying

[copper geyser]

If you’re missing parries, block a little earlier (and keep your shield up to mitigate in case you’re early)

[cedar stump]

but like lets say a monster hit for 100, and block armour is 78, I take 22 damage?

[nocturne wolf]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

This is how armor reduces damage

[copper geyser]

The parry window is pretty generous

[cedar stump]

prolly smarter to just check there ye, also have no clue what the viking logo with red means after parry/blocking

[copper geyser]

Vertical bar? That’s your stagger meter

[nocturne wolf]

The stagger bar shows how close you are to being staggered, interrupting your animations and movement when it's full. (players don't take increased damage while staggered)

[cedar stump]

aaaaah wasnt sure if it was some kind of CD on blocking or something, makes sense never got it to full

[icy mountain]

Parry is with weapon and block is with shield correct?

[copper geyser]

You can parry with medium and small shields

It’s just timing your block to the incoming swing

[tacit crystal]

Parrying is possible with weapon or shield, but not tower shield.

[icy mountain]

So I’m probably more blocking as I hold until they attack and then I attack

Guess I’ll have to look at parry as well

[tacit crystal]

Timing block before the hit connects which results to loud noise and enemy getting staggered, which is parry/perfect block. IIRC there is 0,25 second time window to land a successful parry.

[copper geyser]

You’ll hear a chime when you successfully parry

[cedar stump]

aaaaah didnt know tower shield couldnt, I was really debating making a tower shield but I play pretty offensive and parry often, feels so good when parrying projectile and stunning from range. Speaking of, can you parry a fireball from shamans lol?

[copper geyser]

You can!

[tacit crystal]

You can.

[icy mountain]

I’ve just made the bronze buckler shield

Well last night

I’m unfortunately at work right now

[copper geyser]

Craft a shield at work!

[icy mountain]

😂

[tacit crystal]

Bucklers are superior for parrying due to their higher parry multiplier (2,5x) vs normal shields (1,5x).

[icy mountain]

How do you know all these stats lol

[copper geyser]

It’s all in the item description

[tacit crystal]

By memory.

[nocturne wolf]

Any item with a parry bonus can parry. Weapons are 2x

[tacit crystal]

But also it shows in item stats.

[icy mountain]

I should probably pay more attention to that.. I just basically started slashing trees and went from there

[icy mountain]

Impressive

[cosmic summit]

I just got the ship to get into ashlands. Can I find copper and iron there for shields or should I bring my own?

[pliant hatch]

Bring your own.
There's plenty of cargo space on that ship anway.

[tacit crystal]

Better to bring own, there are very little sources for other metals.

[cosmic summit]

Gotcha. Guess ill excavate some jotun armor before I head south

[cedar stump]

oh theres a bigger ship... 😮 my friend was lieing to me for the eventual surprise

[tacit crystal]

In this server it's hard to avoid spoilers on things when engaging in conversations.

[cedar stump]

yeye I know

hyped for it tho hehe

[cosmic summit]

I've only sailed it once..but honestly it feels cartoonishly large

Kinda feels like im playing sea of thieves at this point, and im solo on a galleon

[copper geyser]

Sure wish it had a pen in it. I’d love to ferry livestock

[sterile eagle]

anyone know why my iron pole doesnt get grounded when i plae it on max height - 1 black marble wall?

[flat granite]

One question: Is it possible to find multiple identical dealers on one map?

[copper geyser]

Only one of each

[flat granite]

thx

[cosmic summit]

Wish the drakkar was steam powered

[smoky quarry]

with cannons

[fickle bramble]

Well it's obvious isn't it

[tribal trench]

My friends and I just found the rare Frost cave with a lake in it and a fishing rod with a lore stone....I even had enough wood on me to relight his old camp fire ha

Thought I would never find one of those to be honest

[smoky quarry]

nice 'n cozy

[fossil delta]

In my experience, they actually have to touch the ground to be grounded. Put it on anything else and they won't be grounded.

[trail pelican]

you have to touch actual ground (OR the equivalent, a static indestructible object, like the big swamp trees) with it--if you just start it off a stone structure, it will start with it's "strongest" support and then just degenerate from there (so a stone/black marable piece at the edge of breaking aleady, won't allow an iron-wood pillar build off it to support much if any better)
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building_stability

[fossil delta]

I always forget about the "Static indestructible object" part. Its why I often use the Elders altar.

[fluid cove]

after an hour of brutal fights i've finally managed to establish a foothold and made a two-way stone portals connection in the Ashlands and my main base

so what's next? i havent mined the Flametal stuff should i do that first

[cedar stump]

havent built much yet, its all my partner's job, I cook and make potions haha a.k.a put down feast everywhere

[fossil delta]

Its not always easy to find Flametal, so thats going to really determine what you do, etc..

[civic stirrup]

Are there any plans to add something useful that you can do with troll hide? I've got half an iron chest full and nothing to do with it, I'm thinking about just crafting piles of troll armor and using it for decoration at some point

[gray sand]

Mead makers are appreciated members of the community

Especially given how fast I can burn through Tasty.

[fossil delta]

Thats been asked for since I started playing 4 years ago. So the answer seems to be... no. I've used them in the past to put on armor stands and make my base look populated. Most of the time I just turn them into coal.

[gray sand]

Troll hide + Linen Thread = Blue Jute would go so hard tbh.

[ebon oyster]

Man, ashlands is so horrible

[gray sand]

No?

[civic stirrup]

Thats right you can do that

[cedar stump]

I love always having fully stocked chest of cooked stam/hp food and mead :3 my partner rarely uses the mead tho

[gray sand]

Introduce them to the power of Tasty mead!

[civic stirrup]

That would be amazing, especially with how common troll raids are (especially with the increased raid rate)

[gray sand]

Imagine having raids enabled 😏

[civic stirrup]

I get that, I often times forget just how handy they are

[cedar stump]

wait hold on, I dont think ive made any tasty ones

[fossil delta]

Raids are fun, plus its more opportunities for a few of the rarer trophies. Such as the Rancid and Wraith.

[cedar stump]

just minor/medium stam and healing

ill have to make some then!

[civic stirrup]

Don't have to imagine, I have them turned up to 2x and difficulty on hard
I love combat but I also love tending my base and building lol

[gray sand]

So you've made the bad stamina pots that shouldn't be used because of how awesome Tasty is? 😭

[civic stirrup]

Definitely do, tasty mead is wildly good

[cedar stump]

yes..... at least used 20 minor/medium stam on my own D:

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Tasty has its own set of rules that makes it useful in situations where you won't be able to even use other meads. Such as swimming.

[cedar stump]

totally overlooked that one

prolly because of the minus hp regen I guess

[gray sand]

Yes but healing pots aren't hp regen.

So if you swig a Tasty your natural +4 regen drops for 10s.
Oooooo spooky. 👀

[fossil delta]

I carry a full stack when I am serpent hunting. Due to a time when my boat got destroyed. Haven't died since.

[civic stirrup]

Stamina > health

[fossil delta]

Its such a short time period, its never even been an issue.

[cedar stump]

will definitelly make loads of em haha even for like harvesting and stuff, we overfarm stuff so much anyways.

[civic stirrup]

Same lol

[gray sand]

But the point of it is you can absolutely go ham and bottom out your stamina bar, take a swig, and in about 5s of just walking to dodge be at max stamina again.

[cedar stump]

its just in my first few encounters against monsters id kite for a while to regen and didnt properly read the tasty tooltips too

[smoky quarry]

farmer vikings

[fossil delta]

Its better to have too much than not enough. Especially when you need it.

[gray sand]

Tasty reduces kite time, in a nutshell.

[cedar stump]

If I was using all our mats and meat all the time tho would be another thing 😛

[smoky quarry]

winter storage full of flour sacks

[cedar stump]

never thought iron would still be used past swamp

[gray sand]

I miss being able to eat meat in Valheim 😭

[cedar stump]

vege run 😄

[gray sand]

Never stop needing iron 😁

[civic stirrup]

Currently sitting on 2k onion seeds, a barrel full on onions and an iron chest full of onion soup

[fossil delta]

Its used a LOT. Stock up. At least once you get to Mistlands it becomes even easier to have chests full of iron.

Even Mistlands gear uses a good bit of iron.

[civic stirrup]

One good swamp run should set you up pretty good, an iron chest full (plus fully upgraded armor and weapons) has me abd my brother sitting pretty well. Good enough that we're building with it

[cedar stump]

we struggled so much to find some at the beginning but yeah we farming lots of it atm

our first swamp biome had like 3 crypt and that was it, this one next to plain had 9 on its own

[civic stirrup]

Not bad

[gray sand]

Iron is how I got my swimming to 93 😁

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its been ages since I have found a swamp with more than 14 crypts in it. I think the days of 24+ crypts are over, with the new biomes added.

[civic stirrup]

Probably, still have a few in my old world XD

[cedar stump]

now we gotta go explore again and find that damn yagluth stone, never seen that boss. Good excuse for hunting more serpent meat 😛

[civic stirrup]

Thats a hard one sometimes

[fossil delta]

I spot it more often than I find a stone for it. Its huge and on or near shore lines. So sailing around is often the best way to find it.

[gray sand]

Yagluth is my favorite boss vibe tbh.
He's metal af.

[fossil delta]

His trophy does look awesome on my front exterior wall.

[gray sand]

The whole aura during is fight is so good too (unless you cheese it...)

[fossil delta]

I just need to figure out good lighting for him when its dark, etc...

[cedar stump]

oh, well hopefully we can find one fast altho wont complain to get more black metal or kill more than 1 vile.

[fossil delta]

Hopefully they make BM more useful after the plains. I use most of it for tons of BM chests.

[sterile eagle]

yeah but usually with stone pillars they make them grounded

[cedar stump]

we only had like 140-150BM ish from our small plain biome with upgrades and stuff it wont be enough for 2

[fossil delta]

Only the unbreakable ones. Break able ones are just normal.

[fossil delta]

I love wiping out villages, so it gets to be a real pain to sail around and gather it all. 😄

[cedar stump]

thank god for moder helping a bit with traveling with ores

+300 weight is decent

wish cart wouldnt be ass

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that can help carry the ore to the boat in fewer trips.

[civic stirrup]

Makes you feel like a real viking

[gray sand]

Cart adds +700kg without penalty.
How are you defining ass?

[cedar stump]

Just moving it around I mean

[civic stirrup]

loxen cart when?

[cedar stump]

oh theres a small rock that you cant really see too bad gotta go backward and go around it!

[fossil delta]

It sucks on rough terrain. So you have to be able to flatten it.

[gray sand]

Lox*

[cedar stump]

that would be dope beast of burden style

[gray sand]

Haldor has one 😭

[fossil delta]

I still have hope for a lox cart.

[civic stirrup]

I use loxen for plural since its so close to Ox

[cedar stump]

I only use a cart to mass farm wood atm

[gray sand]

The dev who made them has confirmed the plural is just lox.

[cedar stump]

I gotta try taming something too eventually

[fossil delta]

Makes sense, since there is almost always 3 of them. Even though I have seen singles and just two often enough.

[fossil delta]

Boar are the ones I do most often. I used to do wolves, but a certain event made that a waste of time. I love hunting Lox too much to bother with taming them.

[civic stirrup]

Eiktheir helps, you can also swim with the cart. Ill often need to move it while its full of metals and such
(I have X numbed of spaces so I'm gonna use 'em)

[gray sand]

Taming lox is a fun adventure 😁

[civic stirrup]

That plus they're always getting out or breaking stuff

[fossil delta]

Only if you like major pains in your rear.

[cedar stump]

At least to check out the taming/breed, we dont really need any kind of meat tbh haha this games got it all its insane 😛

[fossil delta]

They aggro over anything, and destroy anything around them,. Then if you use earth walls, they stack up on each other, and still get out. I'll just hunt them.

[cedar stump]

seen those reddit post after a raid where they lost all their tames so thats why im not tempted to go all in on that

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you have to protect them well, for sure. Or not have them at your base, and visit them only when you have to, to cut down on raid chances.

I just put them in their own little houses. It protects them well enough to keep at my bases.

[tacit crystal]

If you have found trader in swamps, you can buy ingredient for mead that helps with taming.

[cedar stump]

oh I didnt spot that hmmm

[light moat]

Lox is the only tame I never go for lol

[cedar stump]

I think I bought everything there, must have missed something.

constantly going back so I can put feasts everywhere 😆

[fossil delta]

Its called Animal Whispers or something close to that.

[tacit crystal]

The ingredient is ||Pungent pebbles||.

[cedar stump]

ah I think its the one item we havent gotten then

but my precious valuables! get so many at this stage of the game

[fossil delta]

I have yet to find her to even use it before I go to Ashlands. Since I usually only tame boars until then. We might have found her in time for the wolves, but if we did, I didn't think to use it.

[tacit crystal]

Bog witch is the eternal money sink.

[fossil delta]

Which is a large part of why they made her. She was asked for, for years. IE things to spend the coin on.

[tacit crystal]

Yep, and what cool things she sells!

[fossil delta]

Agreed. I do like most of it.

[light moat]

Bog witch was a fantastic addition

[fossil delta]

She has the coolest hut, too.

[cedar stump]

so there was only haldor at the start and the cosmetic trader? I only got those 3 with the witch.

[fossil delta]

Only Haldor at first.

[tacit crystal]

Hildir was added in 2023 summer.

[fossil delta]

Only thing I like about her is the tower, and the trophy from the tomb.

[ebon oyster]

How do I stop dying horribly and constantly in the ashlands

[fossil delta]

Plus even more trophies from the raids.

[cedar stump]

aaah I only played up to mountain/start of plains back then idr much

[fossil delta]

Don't go there? Its what I would prefer to do. 😄

[ebon oyster]

Lol that is a good idea, but I need to get the blue gem

So I need to survive one more fortress at least

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I know. Pure wishful thinking...

I so hate the Ashlands, and its not just because of dying. Its just so ugly. I just hate being there.

[undone forum]

Personally I like the Ashlands

[cedar stump]

cant wait to die there 😛 but ill start by dieing in the mistland.

[undone forum]

Although there are definitely some design choices I question

[tacit crystal]

What is the main cause of deaths?

[silk token]

alright i take it back, i said mistlands was S tier... not when you go t a bajillion ruins and less than half even have basements and STILL looking for more than 5 cores to your name... get me out. my jump key needs a rest. done.

[cedar stump]

63.5h played last two weeks out of my 83 haha

[fading shore]

Slowpush with campfires and fighting only when rested+bonmass. Also prob pillar Up next to a Fortress and destroy Spawners First ?

[fossil delta]

Huh, I am usually doing good after about 10 mines. They are harder to find than I'd like, though.

By doing good I mean 15 cores plus 10 or more to spare. Having 9 pieces of the seal is also nice.

I drag my feet getting to the Ashlands, so I spend way more time in the Mistlands than I need to.

[silk token]

its been a horror show. ive been to at least 5 infested towers that dont have basements, at least 3 mines have zero cores, i'm currently at 9 but i've been going and going for hours and irl days since i got my first 5 and im up to 4 and almost out of stacks of food

havin that bear trophy rng

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've been on a massive Lox hunt the last couple of days, to restock. My wife also decided she wanted the Vile armor set, so still trying to get that trophy.

She usually goes into the Ashlands with the root armor.

So at least she is trying out some new armor.

[tacit crystal]

Last playthrough I went to Ashlands with vilebone chest and legs and carapace helmet.

[cedar stump]

that vilebone set looks dope but using slash weapon anyways, maybe ill make a root set do be using bow often, love sneaking to a village and kill em 1 by 1.

[ebon oyster]

Mobbed up on by crowds of everything

[tacit crystal]

Bigger mobs can hurt each other (dealing friendly fire damage), use that for your advantage.

[silk token]

another infested mine, ONE core. that makes 5, so i can just not have a galder table built i'll take it.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats what I often do, switch between what I need. Even making Eitr.

[silk token]

thats what i had to do to get mist gear with the first 5, but like... ugh. its fine now that i have 10. no way im switching back and forth destroying the refinery and making black table over and over, as much as this mist rng is painful this seed

oh also lol, the other bit of rngeezus has forsaken me is one mine actually did have a queen marker in it, i followed it directly back to my boat and to the huge mistlands island that im certain i completely explored... so the queen has to be on a seperate island somewhere behiind that island

so i guess i get more time to find more mines and cores at least XD

[smoky quarry]

yea i got 2x 1 core mines. Just slap me gently

royal honey = 2 barells full

[civic stirrup]

Yeah but think of all the nice build pieces it brings

[civic stirrup]

So its been a bit since I've been there but make sure you have fall back points that you can use to make space and meads handy

[fossil delta]

She may end up doing something like that if we don't find this trophy for the head piece. She has done fine in just root armor before, but I am pretty sure the extra armor points are going to help.

[tacit crystal]

Yes, extra armor from helmet and no movement speed penalty and better armor than Fenris from vilebone pieces. I managed quite fine until I got mats for Ask set.

[fossil delta]

Now if only I could get her to use shields...

[pliant hatch]

You can always return to the plains after having set foot in the Ashlands.

I just managed to get several trophies from lower biomes after having defeated Yagluth. Including the Wraith a few days ago and the Fenring and Beserker today.

[fossil delta]

Thats what we are doing. We are in the Mistlands. Just she suddenly decided she wanted the Vile set. So thats what we are doing. 😄 We needed to restock on lox meat anyways. Just we are done doing that, so just trophy hunting now.

[pine fable]

I surprisingly havent died yet and fully looted the first infested mine with 5 cores 🔥

[clever torrent]

My Rocky went x.x yesterday. 😦
I sat by him and petted him multiple times, which seemed to restore him to

I had spent at least a week in-game on a building project, only coming in to sleep.

[fossil delta]

We haven't even found him this play through. I haven't actually looked. Just keeping my eyes open for a different kind of rock.

[clever torrent]

My friends and I have yet to find one in our multiplayer world.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, there are 4 of us. Only my wife and I have ever found him before.

[clever torrent]

I only found mine because I kept checking every stone. I didn't know just how different the rocks look.

[fossil delta]

Not very different. He is not easy to notice.

[cedar stump]

time to keep an eye out when venturing far from spawn then!

thought hed be in some kind of poi or something

[fossil delta]

Last time we found him in a black forest. Not sure how much of a role being far from spawn plays in finding him.

[cedar stump]

wiki was saying 1000yrd from spawn but idk

meter*

[merry pebble]

Rocky can start spawning 1000m from centre of the world, yep 🙂

[quasi latch]

Non-freedom yards

[fossil delta]

That may be why, then. Just not looking while far enough from "home".

[merry pebble]

Other requirements for him include it has to be between 5m and 20m above water level and can only spawn in Meadows, Black Forest, Swamps and Mountains, tho you will usually not find it in latter 2 because of the height requirement. 🙂

[neon steppe]

omg

[fossil delta]

Finding it isn't exactly even on any of our priority lists. So we don't really care that we haven't found it. Its even more of a novelty item in a digital world, than anything important.

[neon steppe]

second time i get killed by stone golem because fall damage

[smoky quarry]

i looked forever, none

[neon steppe]

i hate these things!

atleast i got the cultist trophy just before 😛

[fossil delta]

Its important to stay above 100 HP in the mountains. Of course, even then, I'll manage to find a way to fall twice, during the same fall. So die anyways.

[neon steppe]

yeah gotta start to respect stone golems more

i've got handful of deaths and most are in the mountains

[cedar stump]

Hate those guys 😛

For me it was mostly hunted by wolves death

[merry pebble]

Iron buckler and mace dispatches them quickly 😄 (golems)

[fossil delta]

I just do my best to not fight them near any fall sites. Then not to miss any blocks.

[cedar stump]

I wasn't ready for that keep forgetting every biome can get spicy at night

[neon steppe]

i'm just trying to run past them but keep getting stuck on stuff and then they hit me and wheeeeeeew there i go flying down the mountain again 😄

[cedar stump]

Plains night creature was a bit... underwhelming? Expected more

[fossil delta]

One of the first things I did was learn to "dance" with the golems. After that they rarely hit me, unless I am fighting them, then they just hit my shield. 99% of the time. Mistakes always happen.

[cedar stump]

Just felt like I was tickling them with a sword

[fossil delta]

Swords can do the job, but the iron mace is probably among the best weapons to use.

[neon steppe]

fighting them seems safer than trying to run past them at this point for me haha especially since i main mace ^^

but their drop is useless to me so dont bother fighting them.. instead i die to them 🙂

[cedar stump]

We had like 3 or 4 on our mountain near the silver ore haha

[silk token]

ya viles are beefy, vile and lox are kind of bear and troll 2.0

[cedar stump]

I just hate it's just bear 2.0, same moves too right. Only killed 1.

[silk token]

spirit damage is big against viles dont forget theyre undead

[fossil delta]

I use the Tower Shields, and once you have the iron one, they hardly harm you with a block. With the BM shield, they don't harm you.

[cedar stump]

Why did I trash my silver sword like an idiot smh

[neon steppe]

i've yet to hunt viles. their armorset doesn't seem too appealing to me

[fossil delta]

Its also useful again in the Ashlands. So whack yourself again.

[cedar stump]

I guess ill just have to make another one i like the silver burn effect, satisfying.

[fossil delta]

You can make due with other weapons. but it is one of the better DPS types in Ashlands. Against about half of the creatures.

Which are the ones you will run into the most often.

The crystal battle axe works decently well too.

[tacit crystal]

Also useful against viles.

[cedar stump]

Meh meant to scrap all my old gear into obliterator just feels bad it was max level

[fossil delta]

I only scrap my earliest gear. The rest I put up on my walls. Plus I also make use of armor stands.

[silk token]

question for the super nerds: is there a simple ratio for stagger bar increase between parrying, blocking, and taking straight damage? like parrying damage is 1/2 the the stagger youd get if you block and 1/4 youd get if you were straight up hit?

Or is it some crazy algebra action?

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure someone has a sheet pinned up here somewhere that covers all of that.

[silk token]

i know sevhran(sp?) has a sheet for being able to parry a monster with which shield or weapon or something like that, but idk if that includes anything about stagger

I’m more interested in the ratio between taking damage and parrying damage, not so much how much health and block armor do I need to parry

[tacit crystal]

I'm positive the stagger limit is 40% of maximum HP for players.

[fossil delta]

Its titled "blocking breakpoints" so I'd assume it covers stagger. I've never even looked at it, since I like to learn these things in game, through experience.

[silk token]

sure, but as far as taking stagger damage, it’s definitely more if you’re straight up, hit as opposed to parrying, but what is that ratio?

does that make sense? parrying a 2 star might fill 1/4 my stagger bar even tho i blocked the full damage, whereas getting hit maxes out my bar

[fossil delta]

I only ever get staggered when I forget to eat. Which I do far too often. Still, stagger is not something I worry about, since I either get staggered and killed, or am able to walk/run away and eat before I fight some more.

[ebon oyster]

I have been playing as a mage a lot and want to try a melee/ranged setup for ashlands but it seems so hard without trollstav and staff of the wild

[fossil delta]

Its hard because your not used to it. I stay melee, so think playing a mage is hard.

[ebon oyster]

I am pretty bad in the first place as mage anywua lol

You got any recommendations for first elemental weapon?

[silk token]

i actually found melee easier and faster to kill than magic

[ebon oyster]

I made the axes and the greatsword and I am using the ask armor

[fossil delta]

That was my impression when I tried out magic, but only while I was in the Mistlands. Like I said, I stay melee.

[silk token]

flame tower shield and lightning sword are pretty easy mode

[cedar stump]

Don't u gotta farm magic level for it to really feel "better"

[fossil delta]

I do love that tower shield, but of course I do. 😄

[tacit crystal]

If you mean gems, iolite grants good damaging effects especially with the Berserkir axes.

[fossil delta]

Pretty much true for all the combat skills.

[cedar stump]

True mage just comes abit late ig

[silk token]

ya i just looked at the blocking breaking point thing, it didnt answer my questions, it actually didnt address the amount of stagger taken from successfully blocking and parrying just if your block or stagger will fail

[ebon oyster]

I have never made a tower shield. I can give it a try with sword

[fossil delta]

Yep. Part of why I do not switch to it. I am not throwing away my combat skills. I work too hard for them.

[ebon oyster]

I wanna make all the weapons and stuff

[silk token]

or im just too dumb to see it among all the equations idk

[tacit crystal]

Magic is quite strong even when low level, Ember staff is strong offensive and staff of protection strong defensive tool.

It makes possible to stay out of enemy range and deal good damage.

[ebon oyster]

Any recommendations for food? I have the fader feast. I amnnot sure if i should do 2 hp 1 stam, or use that feast in place of one of those

[fossil delta]

Its the best thing to do, especially if its your first play through. Find out what you like, not what the rest of us like.

[tacit crystal]

I like HSF (piquant pie, roasted crust pie, Ashlands feast) currently with my setup.

[merry pebble]

As Joel said 🙂 the magic is pretty strong even on 0 lvl, leveling it up just makes it even stronger

[cedar stump]

I'm really curious to give it a try once we get there

We should find our yagluth stone tonight and prepare and max our gear for mistland

[fossil delta]

I think its a good idea to try everything. Even after all this time, I still play around with the atgeir. 😄

[ebon oyster]

I never even noticed those as I was having shroom shakes and marinated greens lol. Thanks for the recommendation.

[cedar stump]

I've only used sword and regular armor

[merry pebble]

Tbf, very few things beat atgeirs performance 😄

[tacit crystal]

Check preparation table, pies are made there.

[fossil delta]

Fortunately the wood weapons give us a nice easy way to try out more, and get skill points while doing it.

[fossil delta]

I just don't like even using it. It feels so weird to me. Poke, poke, poke, twirl.

[cedar stump]

Hmmm wood weapons

[ebon oyster]

Very nice. Hadn't used it since plains. There was no prep table last time I played so I am getting used to it

[tacit crystal]

Yeah it was added year ago when Bog Witch update was introduced to the game.

[merry pebble]

If you are used to shields i can understand it 😄 took me quite a few hundred hours to even give a try to some two handed weapons

[cedar stump]

just feel so comfy behind my round/banded shield, almost made a tower shield to try it out.

[ebon oyster]

I played through once when plains was end game and then once through mistlands, and then again with ashlands but I never did the bog witch stuff yet

[fossil delta]

I actually mix things up a good bit, so am comfortable with the sledges and battlaxes. Just the atgeir and I have never gotten along. 😄 I keep trying, though.

[merry pebble]

I never got used to tower shields, so i stay with the two smaller ones 😄

[cedar stump]

Im still waiting to find some Mjolnir-esque weapon 😛

[fossil delta]

Its a very different feel to it, but I like its reliability. Just block. No worry about missing a parry and getting trashed.

[cedar stump]

frostner being the closest I think

[fossil delta]

So far, it is.

[cedar stump]

its been hard trying not to look at too much stuff, I wanna keep the surprise.

[tacit crystal]

I think I was sword/mace main in my first time ever. Although I made Crystal battleaxe.

[merry pebble]

That one is the only one handed mace looking like a hammer, yep 🙂 tho we have a nice brick-on-a-stick later

[cedar stump]

I feel like im on withdrawal right now waiting for my buddy to log on to open the server.

[fossil delta]

I do love Demolisher. Looks cool, its huge, and is a big step up from the iron hammer. Even looks like Mjolner. Just in XXX size.

[tacit crystal]

-# Psst Asatru meant Klossen probably.

[merry pebble]

*Marvels Mjölnir

[cedar stump]

not even gonna look at those, but cool names!

[fossil delta]

Yeah, in lore its described more like being a rock on a stick.

So the stone axe is probably closest to how its described in the lore.

Just made of dwarven metal, whatever that is.

[merry pebble]

Well as far as i know it was usually depicted with triangular hammer head( kinda pointy on top and sloping down to the sides), compared to the block that is Demolisher and marvel depiction 😄

[fossil delta]

I am talking about the Edda's, not artist interpretations of those. Plus there are at least 7 versions of them. In one its described as being like a fist. Its the one I have read the most often, so not really sure about how other versions describe it. I think its the translation out of the version from Norway.

[rugged bridge]

GoW's mjolnir takes the win for the best depiction of the weapon honestly

Marvel's always looked like a toy hammer you could buy at the store to me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its pretty awesome in GoW. I never played it because it was console only for so long, but I own it now that its on PC.

[rugged bridge]

Been itching to try it myself but the price tags aren't something I tolerate lol

Anyway, perhaps somewhere down the line at valheim's "ending" we'll get a mjolnir or something resembling it. Though the frostner is basically a spitting version of it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I only bought it a month or two ago, because it was around 40% off.

[merry pebble]

I was thinking about some museum pieces that were found (tho the only one that looks like the ones i remember seems to be a forgery so i might be misremembering, again...), not really sure about exact description from eda since i only read it in my native language which has to be heavily translated so you might very well be right 😄

[fossil delta]

I do really like Frostner on my key chain, and necklace. 😄

[rugged bridge]

Not bad, it dropped 60% during the steam autumn sale that just finished

The sequel is a whole other story tho lol

[fossil delta]

I have to rely on translations. So no way for me to know how well they even did. 😄

[fossil delta]

I've watched my elder son play both, he liked both, and they looked fun to me. So I'll give them a try some day. I hope.

It would help if I'd stop playing Valheim all the time.

[rugged bridge]

It's one of those niche situations where if you're a person who enjoys singleplayer storytelling games, you'll have a blast playing it.

It's one of the best ones out there

[merry pebble]

Actually found an example of what i was talking about and it isnt known to be a forgery 😄
https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_2000-0301-1

[fossil delta]

I like them. There is another I am far more likely to play first, though. Ghost of... something something. Blanking on it. 😄

[wicked quarry]

Why does Njord hate me so much! 🙁

[merry pebble]

Ghost of Tsushima?

[rugged bridge]

Ghost of Tsushima probably

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but unless it is in Thor's hands, aren't they all forgeries? 😄

[merry pebble]

Very much true xD

[rugged bridge]

TW3 still holds my top spot for the singleplayer rpg games, likely until the fourth installment arrives

[fossil delta]

TW3... not coming up with that name.

[merry pebble]

Total War 3?

[fossil delta]

I like the Total War series, but pretty sure thats not what your referencing.

[rugged bridge]

The witcher 3

[merry pebble]

Oh... Thats really not MMO tho...

[fossil delta]

AH! Yes, I like that one too. I have played it.

[rugged bridge]

My bad, brain outage while multitasking

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I quit playing MMO's about 15 years ago.

[merry pebble]

All good xD just really threw me off

[fossil delta]

Closest I get are games like Valheim, where I can chose who is on line with me.

[cedar stump]

welp fk it gonna start a yolo solo game as my friend still not around 😛

[fossil delta]

I like solo. Its just more fun with my wife or friends, plus my wife.

[rugged bridge]

Fair enough, they require a lot of time investment, except a select few where progress isn't a "Update X came out you have to grind it or you experience FOMO"

[cedar stump]

I managed to find my first character so I definitelly did plains, had a lox cape on and moder buff, been so long I barely remember.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that was another thing that was ticking me off at the time, but it was mostly that a lot of people SUCK.

[rugged bridge]

Fortunate your first character looks normal

Mine has no armor on, looks like a monkey and has a feather cape on, which only means I was doing one thing on it last

[cedar stump]

isnt that "late" ish mistland or something

the cape

[rugged bridge]

Indeed, 20% of its usage rate is during the mistlands, 80% is launching yourself out of the world

[fossil delta]

Yeah. When I first played, it was plains only, No actual drop from Yag. Just a place holder item.

[rugged bridge]

I typically stay away from MMORPGs that have raid systems & similar due to reliance on other players, clanning up and other time consuming things. Unless you decide to play it privately with a friend without caring too much, like how I'm doing with POE2 right now

[fossil delta]

I liked the Ashlands much better back then. Just fallen meteors and Surtlings running around all over.

[merry pebble]

Yep, once you have done few mistland dungeons and get certain resources you can make it, not really sure about what "stage" it is within the biome 😄

[cedar stump]

never knew some monsters were scared of fire 😮

[merry pebble]

Most black forest ones are 😄

also greylings and boars

[cedar stump]

never really held or used a torch too tbf, was wondering why this neck kept running away from me.

[rugged bridge]

Seeing as how it requires refined eitr and the galdr table, I'd probably call it around the middle of your mistlands playthrough

Got to do a bit of exploring, grinding and processing before you obtain it

[fossil delta]

Ideally you have 15 cores by then. So yeah, later more than early.

[merry pebble]

I usually just say "you get it in mistlands" since everyone does different stuff at different time in each biome 😄

[wicked quarry]

First time in Ashlands. Someone please tell me there is actuall a land mass and its not just all these rocky spires in the water....

[rugged bridge]

Jokes on you I got mine in the ashlands

[merry pebble]

Indeed you want the 15 cores but you really need only 5, which can change the hypothetical "stage" of the biome quite a bit 🙂

[fossil delta]

There is land, but you might wish you never found it when you do. 😄

[tacit crystal]

There is, you want to sail closer to middle areas.

[rugged bridge]

Haven't been to the biome since I tried it in the beta client, did they ease up on you getting nuked as soon as you land on the shore?

Or do I still have to look forward to playing 30 minutes of wave defense while the base of operations gets set up lol

[fossil delta]

Depends. You can still land in ugly places. Much like could happen in the swamps.

[tacit crystal]

Spawn rates were adjusted to not have as much but you can still get overwhelmed. Not as badly as during early PTB.

[fossil delta]

Might be more like 2 hours. They attack often.

[rugged bridge]

I see. Maybe it'll go differently this time as I'm going in with the "new" setup of using the shiny big green mistlands axe

Good to hear it was adjusted, alongside them stating the deep north's landing will be more forgiving

[fossil delta]

I hope so. Its bad enough I hate the Ashlands. I hope I like the North.

[rugged bridge]

Aurora borealis, ice, frost, snow, ominous silence. My kind of place

And let's of course not forget the 🦭

[fossil delta]

Lets hope. I hated the Ashlands just sailing there. Yet it managed to get even worse once I landed.

[tacit crystal]

There was this comment in one of Hervor videos which makes me chuckle every time.

[rugged bridge]

Yeah I saw that one as well, made me burst out laughing the first time I read it lol

Way too true

[nocturne wolf]

There will be no jumping off the ship in deep north, we have catapults now

[rugged bridge]

Going into the deep north with a catapult with all your gear, ready to explore, then you hear your friend say "Oops I miscalibrated it" mid flight

[gleaming briar]

Since about 2 weeks the game crashes multiple times within an hour

• i checked the steamfiles
• reinstalled the game

All to no avail. I get a unity error popup and the game closes losing allot of stuff in progress

Errors can happen at any random interaction

Im on an AMD build
With a GPU Rx9070 xt

[cedar stump]

aaah the classic tree that falls on you and kills ya hahaha

[wintry valve]

I think boats and structure should have innate resistances to things

I hate the idea that if a monster attacks me on my boat, the biggest danger to said boat is me.

[fossil delta]

#valheim-help is the best channel for help.

[cedar stump]

oh okay dang its kinda hard to miss those big stones huh

its like a big hand kinda form too

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but man, that death squitto did a number on my Karve, and followed me FOREVER. If I had hit it too? I would have never made it to land.

So yes, it would be great if I could defend myself without sinking my own boat.

[wintry valve]

Not just that, I just feel like that, say, boars shouldnt be able to damage, say, stone bricks

[fossil delta]

Lox bugged me the most. To the point where I just hunt them now.

[hardy wraith]

Hello everyone, how are you?
I hope so.
I need help installing just one mod in Valheim. I'd like one specifically for mining. I saw one that mines everything with just one hit.
Can someone please help me install this mod?
Thank you.

[fossil delta]

#mods-issues is probably your best bet.

[wintry valve]

I use loxes to train my bow skill

The result is that I absolutely flooded my friend's base with lox meat and skin

[fossil delta]

Its crazy how quick you can kill a lox with Bonesnap and needle arrows. Of course, its equally crazy how fast I can do it with Porcupine.

Which is great, since I am restocking for Mistlands food.

[cedar stump]

Man Growth tilts me sooo much T.T

soloing easily a fuling village dodging/parrying everything and then 3 growths pop out of nowhere and attack me -.-

[wintry valve]

I was hunting loxes with crudebow and fine bow, and regular wooden arrows

[rugged bridge]

I typically massacre every herd I come across, can never have too much meat, unless I'm past the plains of course

Kind of like fighting them too, very relaxing

[tacit crystal]

I hunted quite a lot of lox in my latest run during the plains era, with the new Maulclaws mostly which are pretty effective. #memes-and-clips message

[neon steppe]

when they release 1.0 will we need to start a new world?

[merry pebble]

New content shoud generate in unexplored areas 🙂 so as long as you dont go exploring DN now you should be ok

[plush umbra]

anyone want to start a server with me?

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 is the place to look at. 👍

[cedar stump]

gosh this aint my day to play time to log out -.- 3-4 death in the last 20min ish

[maiden star]

Ayo! I’ve just reached just a little over 100 hrs after 2 weeks of playing valheim (I need to touch grass lol) anyways I’ve started to notice that I don’t have any space left for anything in my inventory and I’m basically writing this to ask if there is anything to increase space or am I just limited to what we have and then have to suffer cuz I try to carry stuff that’s good against certain types of enemies?

[foggy glacier]

The inventory space is one thing that you need to recon with in this game. Many have spoken about it and complained, and given ideas. It hasn't changed and so I expect that's by design.

Are you into Black Forest yet?

[maiden star]

I’m currently at the plains and ready to go to the mist biome

[foggy glacier]

Portals are my best friend when it comes to inventory management.

[maiden star]

Ive notice that having portals literally everywhere seems to be the way to go

[foggy glacier]

or at least bring one with you, yes.

[merry pebble]

Not necessarily everywhere 😄 but having one in your pocket is very handy indeed

[maiden star]

Yeah I always have a portal with me or atleast I have portals stationed around areas I am a lot and then go back and fourth

Also idk if I was stupid for this but is there anywhere in the tutorial bird thingy that explains how to parry? It literally took me 75 hrs until I got sick of doing zero damage to enemies so I had to look it up

[merry pebble]

Yep, he has a message for that, not exactly sure when it pops up but i would think when you make a first shield

[maiden star]

That’s possible I lowkey got sick of the bird especially cuz the sounds it made so I turned it off pretty early 😭

[merry pebble]

Yeah, that would explain it 😄

[maiden star]

Yup lol

Stupid idea but my gosh that bird sound teleporting around all the time drove me nuts especially because in the beginning it would try to explain everything and it just drove me crazy

[smoky valve]

wait is there a voice chat in valheim or i was blind for the two pass years?

[merry pebble]

There is not a voice chat in game, only text chat, tho people usually use discord if they want to be in voice chat.

[smoky valve]

they should add that

i mean its 2025

[maiden star]

Yo prox chat on a public server in this game would go hard imo

[merry pebble]

#suggestions are open 😄 but keep in mind that its a singleplayer game primarily, with the option to co-op with friends

[maiden star]

Imagine all the PvP servers with clans and stuff talking about their plans and you’ve got some spy to roll up and listen through the walls

[smoky valve]

so why the fuck we can play with 32 player at the same time

💔

[merry pebble]

Because you use mods 🙂 normally the world cap is 10

[maiden star]

Speaking of that does boses scale in hp depending on the players on the server or is it based on local player amount only?

[smoky valve]

i nerver use mods

[merry pebble]

They scale up to 5 people, yes 🙂

[smoky valve]

well only in building

[merry pebble]

They you cant have world with 32 people in it at the same time

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_Level#Effects
here regarding the enemy scaling btw 🙂

[maiden star]

That makes sense atleast the multiplayer experience is pretty awesome imo. The main issue is resources. Like iron is the worse of them all. I highly doubt there is enough for me and my friends to build with it 😭

[merry pebble]

That the world modifiers are for 😄

You can set the resource rate to be higher

[maiden star]

Ooooooh

I see now

[smoky valve]

mmmmmmmmmmh

[maiden star]

No option for respawns tho? Or is that only mods?

[cursive ibex]

umm any clue why I can't craft the bear claws I got all mats and everything but show it black out.

[merry pebble]

Respawns?

[maiden star]

For like ores and dungeons/caves

[merry pebble]

2 Bear hide
2 Bear paw
4 Leather scraps
?

[cursive ibex]

yep

[merry pebble]

Ah, no those dont respawn and you cant make them to without mods.

[maiden star]

I see

[cursive ibex]

I have everything need.

[maiden star]

Might have to use that for my single player world as I’d like to play on that for more then just a couple of weeks

[merry pebble]

There should still be more than enough for all the potential 10 players in the world 🙂

[smoky valve]

you need a pay bru you are actively working for the lazy guys

[maiden star]

Aight that’s good to hear tho

[merry pebble]

Do you have lvl2 workbench?

[cursive ibex]

still not letting me craft I killed like 10 bear's lolz

I got lvl 5 workbench

[maiden star]

Hmmm got the resources on you tho?

[cursive ibex]

yes

[maiden star]

Or else try and rebuild it?

[merry pebble]

Huh, weird... Try to put away one of the materials (whole stack of it, the 2 hides for example) and get a new ones, sometimes it can happen that the stack is bugged.

[smoky valve]

how meny hours did you play valheim?!

[merry pebble]

A lot

[smoky valve]

i can't even see in your steam profile

[merry pebble]

Thats because i have it set on friends only 🙂

[smoky valve]

hen

[cursive ibex]

umm

[smoky valve]

can you just tell me? or you are hiding something on your steam profile 🔍

[merry pebble]

Bit over 1,1K

[cursive ibex]

I even just rebuilt everything and still not not letting But i can craft everything else.

[maiden star]

Bro tryna squeeze out information he doesn’t need to know 😭

[smoky valve]

dang thats crazy i am only at like 125h

[maiden star]

That’s still quite a lot tho

[merry pebble]

If you are not against using commands you could try to throw away all the stacks of materials you have now and then spawning new ones. If that would work it would mean one of the stacks was bugged.

[eager bough]

tons of playtime in the game

[smoky valve]

dude my friend did 800 in 4 monts

[merry pebble]

Not crazy really, few people i know have more than 4K

[smoky valve]

😭

they have no life

[maiden star]

Im about to do the same 😭

I reached 110 hrs in just 2 weeks

[smoky quarry]

understandable for the first few weeks

but 4 months 800h, kek. That is some serious sh commitment

[eager bough]

Hate it when you build your base then find a better spot only to feel the need to build a better base there.

[smoky quarry]

I still main & build my 2nd base ever, on a pre-field map

[smoky valve]

thats 3 hours a day, do you at least got a job

[maiden star]

Uh…

Nope 😭

[smoky valve]

😭

[smoky valve]

school?

[smoky quarry]

i play at work, all 3 jobs :p

[maiden star]

Nope

[smoky quarry]

trying to get one bossz to get a better PC, it wont run Valheim well at all 😄

[smoky valve]

are you 80 years old or something

[smoky quarry]

need it for....more files :p

[maiden star]

It not that I don’t want to work but getting a job at the age of 20 is like tryna find a needle in a haystack

[maiden star]

I wished

[smoky quarry]

at 20 you don`t job, you slave away for xp

[maiden star]

It’s the worse 😭

[smoky quarry]

nah, Ashland is the worse

[maiden star]

Idk yet

Only at plains and that was kinda hell but also not

[smoky quarry]

*chewed and spat out *** is the line

[wintry valve]

The worst biome is actually the ocean

[maiden star]

I have no idea what you mean 😭

[wintry valve]

you cant build stuff there and you drown

[maiden star]

Nah it’s chill

[smoky quarry]

ocean is fine chill, u just go straight to get away from anything

[wintry valve]

Thats only if you have a boat

[maiden star]

Just stay on yo boat and you chillin

[eager bough]

love the ocean

[maiden star]

About time to make one lol

[wintry valve]

yall I was trying to be funny

engage the laugh protocols

[smoky quarry]

let me execute haha.exe

[wintry valve]

thank you

[smoky quarry]

haha

[maiden star]

Dw I got the memo

Anyways give me more inventory space man 😭

It’s worse then Minecraft and that game has the worst inventory system ever too 😭

[smoky quarry]

i got to much space :p

[merry pebble]

We will see if we get something for that 🙂

[maiden star]

We can only hope

[wintry valve]

inventory is kind of part of the fun. You gotta make choices about what you want to do and what you need for your trip.

[smoky quarry]

like in Diablo

[wintry valve]

I do wish that the stuff you wear didnt take space, though

[maiden star]

Well atleast portals are easy to make so you can keep traveling back and fourth when on an adventure

[smoky quarry]

wish i could throw stuff thruu the portal as its open

[maiden star]

But it’s really not practical for the long term of the game imo

[smoky quarry]

that would be better than more inv

[maiden star]

Lowkey want this now

[smoky quarry]

u go back to find a massive pile of trash

[maiden star]

It’s the most fun thing ever

Just go back to get overwhelmed by trash

[smoky quarry]

kick a mob in the portal :p

[maiden star]

Gonna end up like the nether portal from Minecraft lol

[nimble dirge]

Hello :)

[kind coral]

hey im having an issue where valheim has no sound. i tried reinstalling and verifying file integrity, nothings working. i tried other games on steam and their sound is working. anyone encountered this have any ideas?

[fossil delta]

#valheim-help Is the best channel to go to for problems.

[kind coral]

thx

[wary nimbus]

is the iron axe or battleaxe better for tree chopping?

[foggy glacier]

iron axe is better according to the wiki.

higher chop damage and faster swing.

[fossil delta]

I find the battle axe to be more fun, and it hits multiple targets, so you can do more than one tree at a time. So if your growing your own tree farm, I think its better.

[tribal trench]

These Archery Targets they added are so much fun lol

[fossil delta]

I need to see if it works with the Arbalast. Or however its spelled.

[foggy glacier]

I did not take into account mtp. you have a good point.

[fossil delta]

Its not as useful for "wild" trees, but when you plant them yourself, close together... yeah, I prefer using battle axes. I also love them for chopping down fuling villages.

[foggy glacier]

I just use the sledge for the fuling villages.

but then again, I'm a club man.

[shy marlin]

@gray sand what's the vegan run up to

[gray sand]

You refuse joke about exothermic reactions and now you want an UPDATE?

[shy marlin]

😔 i've prolly heard every bad chem joke there is

[gray sand]

😭

[tepid prawn]

NaBrO

[gray sand]

He's assuming my jokes are bad 🙁

[tepid prawn]

I think mine could be worse 😛

[shy marlin]

If you guys are ever looking for a nice soap opera, just read on the history of all the chem guys

There's some crazy beef and lore

[gray sand]

I mean, it's not like you're taking dating advice from the Cern super-collider.
||Smash first, analyze later. 😏 ||

[shy marlin]

I would make a joke about an acid catalyzed tautomerization of an enol but you guys wouldn't get it 😔

[gray sand]

SCALES DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A JOKE ABOUT EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS?

[shy marlin]

FINE

[gray sand]

I don't think I have the energy...

[shy marlin]

mods ^

[gray sand]

[gray sand]

Swamp on VH.

[shy marlin]

aboms on vh are fun

[gray sand]

Finishing up bronze equipment before making landfall.

[shy marlin]

really require you to learn the entirety of the fight and not just parry 123 parry 123

[gray sand]

The sad part is I don't get any new foods in the swamp 😭

[shy marlin]

turnip stew is no cause boar

muckshake?

[gray sand]

Muckshake is no cuz ooze is "blob meat" for lack of a better term.

You're killing them to get it.

[shy marlin]

🤔 hmmm

i could go either way on allowing blob tbh

[gray sand]

Mountain is just Onion Soup.

Because Eyescream uses glands.

[shy marlin]

i found rocky in my building / deep north prep run 🤙

[neon steppe]

okay im starting to get sick of frostner pushing everyone away from me finally

silver sword or crystal baxe?

[gray sand]

Welcome to why I hate the weapon.

[shy marlin]

Silver sword goated

[empty cradle]

sumtin wong with my game..... i have smelted over 600 iron now but i have none every time i log out and back in all my metal disapears

[neon steppe]

i'll give it a try once i get my longship home

never had a sword in valheim before actually

[shy marlin]

they're great

slash is a great dmg type and swords don't have multi target penalty meaning you can cleave multiple stuff and do full dmg

[gray sand]

Swords bugged and objectively better until MtP fixed.

[shy marlin]

🤔 have they confirmed bug

[wintry valve]

too hard to get a reaction out of you, eh?

[shy marlin]

activation energy too high

[wintry valve]

Too noble to even do anything

[shy marlin]

Seeing xenon bond with fluorine for the first time shook me

[wintry valve]

something something argon I cant do more

in chivalry 2, the agathian successor to the throne is called Argon II. He's nobility.

[tepid prawn]

Both of course, silver sword is one of my fav looking weapons

I basically am unable to do a run where I don't make the sword

[wintry valve]

I think the game would be 100% improved if we removed the silver sword

To be funny

[neon steppe]

sword it is then

[echo crest]

Favorite looking sword... you mean you want it just for the looks? Maybe you could make a mod that makes some other sword or weapon look like the silver sword 🙂

If you wanna do a run without actually using the sword.

[wintry valve]

I like Krom

[tepid prawn]

still hella fun to use, not just for Yagluth

also enjoy the use for growths and yag, but also wolves etc its still real nice for all that I also tend to upgrade it a lot, often to 4

[tepid prawn]

Krom has a history to me, I killed my first 2 star seeker with it, naked with no armour as all the armours I had were in that mine... only used food and a level 1 or 2 krom

[wintry valve]

starred seekers arent fun

[fossil delta]

1 star aren't bad. but the 2 star makes me be careful. Same with soldiers. Are there even starred Gjalls anymore? I haven't seen one since I started playing again.

[tacit crystal]

There are starred Gjalls, but they're night spawns only which despawn at dawn.

[crude saddle]

Haven't played this game in ages, and now I have to remember what on earth I'm supposed to be doing

[merry pebble]

Kill Odins enemies! Through any means necessary 😄

[crude saddle]

The answer appears to be adding light sources to my home, good lord I cannot see

And collecting unhealthy amounts of tar

[heady parcel]

Heh, I log in for a quick base sweep before work - it is night and I hear giggling outside, so I run out to off the unwelcome guests. Two minutes later I have collected twelve black metal. The little green guys are like locusts at night, I'll never run out of the metal at least...

[fossil delta]

Huh, haven't fought any. Not sure how many were at night versus day, but its been enough I should have seen at least 1.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I kill so many of them I end up working on filling a second black metal chest.

Every play through.

[heady parcel]

Gjall are solitary, so the chance of running into a starred one is not that big. I've killed a couple of one-star and saw a two-star once - I ran away.

(Feather cape, no barley wine)

[fossil delta]

Soldiers are solitary too. I run into 1 stars of them pretty often, and ran into a 2 star just a day or two ago. Those are at night too. I have not seen a single Gjall with a star and my wife and I have killed enough to have 17 trophies in our game, and we have 11 in our current game with friends. We run the Mistlands at night very frequently. So its been really weird to have not seen at least one.

[heady parcel]

Yeah that's rng for you. Starred gjall are scary things. I can't for the life of me remember if their ticks are starred too or if they're just regular ticks.

A swarm of two-star ticks out in the mist would be a nightmare

[fossil delta]

I don't recall. Its been over a year since I last fought one. It was a 2 star. I don't think its ticks were starred, but maybe.

It easily took 20 belly shots, and I think I was still using Draugr Fang at the time.

[tacit crystal]

Nowadays I stay away from Mistlands during night just because of starred Gjalls. One of my few deaths in Mistlands is due to sudden 2 star behind back.

[crude saddle]

Hmmmm maybe planting 150 turnips was a little overkill

[merry pebble]

Nah, good stash

[random tundra]

are there any steam codes or vouchers for valheim, missed the sale by 1 day.

[empty cradle]

ok im srsly gettin P.O. my metals keep disappearing from my storage chest ive lost about 600 iron ,about 100 silver and now just teleported back to base and 150 blak metal ore is gone it was there just b4 i went for a swamp run

[coarse gust]

it sounds like you have an uninvited guest.

[empty cradle]

playin solo

ive prob smelted 900 ish iron i made 2 lvl 3 maces and lvl 1 armor and a few nails so im missing about 600 ish

[tribal trench]

Thats rough

[empty cradle]

i had to get more iron after the first 300 disapeared then what was left after makin gear the second batch disapeared so i went for a 3rd run for more now thats gone

[tribal trench]

I would suggest you restart your steam client

fire up the game fresh

maybe it

is a syncing problem but i doubt it

[empty cradle]

well it happens randomly to random ore or ingots from the 1 particular chest

[tribal trench]

hmm

try rebuilding the chest?

[empty cradle]

doin fresh boot steam and game

yaa i broke the small chest and made iron chest so now i only got 17 BM ore in it took a screenshot as im smelting more copper and tin that disappeared so i can compare when i get back from trip to new swamo for more irons :S

[orchid locust]

all that sounds mind boggling

I know that just once I managed to convert a couple ingots into some other ingots by pure chance while quickly managing one of my chests. It had to do with plitting stacks and closing the chest while dragging them into inventory, I think? Point being, I couldn't manage to replicate it and that was that.
Entire stacks of stuff disappearing entirely sounds very suspicious and game breaking imo, but I guess it's fine since you seem to be mostly unfazed by it and continuing playing? 😂

[merry pebble]

Are you using any mods?

[empty cradle]

MANY MODS !!! lol

[merry pebble]

Yeah, try to disable those 😄then turn one by one to find the one causing it

Probably it will be some that has to do with inventory, chests, items in general 🙂

[empty cradle]

well if i disable mods to try to figure out the 1 doing it it will brick my entire save and i will lose all my stuff

[tacit crystal]

Either that or asking folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 can help too if you list your mods.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, asking there to see if anyone isnt aware of certain mod doing this 😄

[empty cradle]

pretty sure its armory causing my ore to disappear it doesnt follow ultra stacks and any ore i smelt in that station it comes out as a /30 stack at full weight until i merge it to the /500 stack not sure why the BM has vanished tho i cant even refine it yet

also usin crafty boxes and autostore but this is a new mod profile and my V+ config is a bit borkked no issues with old mod profile with mostly the same mods

[heady parcel]

I thought about this, it would be sweet if they could tweak it so the boat behaves like a cart when you are standing on it. Carts don't get hit by your swings as long as you are connected to it, I can't imagine making a similar exception for boats would be an insurmountable task. You'd still be able to "dismantle" it by hopping off and doing it from the side. Greater risk of losing the nails though, that would be a drawback.

[heady parcel]

That's however a tradeoff I'd be willing to make to not destroy the boat under my feet trying to get at a wraith or deathsquito...

[mystic gale]

Does the call to arms update make tower shields more usable?

I havent played the patch yet

[merry pebble]

Yes, you have less movement speed penalty

[mystic gale]

Oh nice, did anything else change?

[merry pebble]

Regarding the tower shields or generally?

[mystic gale]

tower shields mostly. was there a new combat mechanic of some sort? does it work with the tower shields?

[azure yacht]

#valheim-patchnotes

[merry pebble]

The movement speed penalty is pretty much all that changed about them afaik, there are few new mechanics in general, if you want detailed patchnotes you can look here https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-221-4-call-to-arms/ 🙂

[mystic gale]

i dont want to read spoilers though :D, ill just wait until my next playthrough

are the new combat mechanics explained ingame?

[merry pebble]

The main one is, yep.

[civic stirrup]

Bruh I swear whenever I'm looking for bonemass I just get empty cripts that are ridiculously full of iron

[merry pebble]

"Oh no, this stake is too juicy and the lobster too buttery." xD
I see no problem with that 😄

[civic stirrup]

Same kinda, I've already got maxed weapons and armor for 2 people plus an iron chest full
I NEED that vegvisir though, I'm playing no map so all I get is my face turned in the right direction

I'm up to 6 stacks from just one branch of the crypt XD

[orchid locust]

dang, such lucky RNG you've got there

[civic stirrup]

I know right XD

[crude saddle]

Can I borrow some of that rng real quick? Gotta do a quick swamp run

[pliant hatch]

Set your resource modifier at maximum.

You get enough iron to last two Valheim days from one crypt.

[crude saddle]

Well I found my lost boat and it turns out it had 176 scrap iron

[cedar stump]

how'd you lose it in the first place tho or did it just break?

[smoky quarry]

Ayo, is jack o lantern suppose to sound like a raging fire?:p

[crude saddle]

I forgot where it was

It's been ~1 year since I last played
