valheim-chat

[gray sand]

Because of how often I stagger someone with a block but cannot actually get the first attack off.

[silk token]

I feel like to be completely viable in very hard it needs to be faster than most enemy attacks so they can’t decide to NOT do their wonky pathing and suddenly turn and hit you after you’ve already pressed attack

[silk token]

really? even with a jump attack? i feel like I only have follow up issues against charred

[gray sand]

My main gripe is that the first attack doesn't fit in the stagger window 🤷‍♂️ That's what I am basing the 0.1s on.

This isn't Halo multiplayer on SWAT... I am not jumping around to randomly attack things.

[silk token]

I feel like most enemies I get the first two attacks off before they lose stagger

[gray sand]

Block - PING
Wind-up - oh look, they are moving...

[silk token]

yeah, I’m remembering bears specifically, if I parry I hit the first two and the third re-staggers them

which mob besides charred can you not at at least 1 hit off?

[gray sand]

It's been a while since I tested it.
Battleaxes were a one-day "Yeah this is barely too slow" experience and I haven't touched them since.

[silk token]

gasp! maybe you’ll love them and should try them again!! embrace your anger. draw your axe.

[cedar stump]

woohoo yagluth down 😄

[gray sand]

🤘

[cedar stump]

silver sword just melted him 😛 without fire res this fight is probably super rough haha

[gray sand]

Roughly 64% of all his damage is fire, so yes 😄

[cedar stump]

thank god for his big stone fingers to los almost destroyed em all haha

[tacit crystal]

Now you have the best biome ahead.

[cedar stump]

yeaaaaaaah D:

Im hyped to discover mage :3

[tacit crystal]

And all other cool things.

[rancid badger]

will we ever get berry bushes to be planted

[gray sand]

Not without mods, no.

[eager bough]

An it’s why I have to have plant everything mod . I enjoy farming trying to plant rows in a straight line and laugh at the curves after . But being able to plant all I find in same Biome as well use bushes for deco in my landscaping. I am horrid 👀

Just stumbled across the Valhiemian build page was unaware download a build from someone else was a thing has peaked my interest.

[chrome badge]

Never say never tbh, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. Not to mention, they could add the ability to plant fake bushes for cosmetic reasons, and keep the utility of bushes in the wild.

[orchid locust]

I always thought that being able to uproot and replant bushes would be a fair compromise

[cedar stump]

already dead right as we landed to mistland ahha

[orchid locust]

like, sure, you can't plant them from nothing, but if you were to bring a bush from the forest to your home?

[lilac anvil]

is there a mod that lets you spawn in clothing? i lost my flower crown :(

[merry pebble]

No need for mod 🙂 Enable console in settings
Then F5 to open the console, type devcommands so it says :true and then type spawn HelmetMidsummerCrown

[orchid locust]

the uprooting mechanic is something that even normal farming needs anyway, since I don't think it's fair you have to waste a seed just because there's not enough space

[lilac anvil]

oh! do i need to be server owner to do this?

[wicked quarry]

I keep reading that you can get ores from forts in Ashlands but haven’t found any. Are the forts the ruin like structures that have pottery in them?

[merry pebble]

Are you on dedicated or player hosted?

[lilac anvil]

player hosted

[merry pebble]

Yep, then server owner has to spawn it, or you can quickly go to singleplayer world and spawn it yourself there 🙂

[lilac anvil]

tysm!!!

[merry pebble]

Fortresses are the ones with beacons in the middle 🙂

They can have the ore in chests

[cedar stump]

hahahaha I was wondering what was that pair of buttcheeks flying in the air xd

[silk token]

the butt cheeks that shoot fire, it’s a flying taco bell run!

[reef juniper]

I really wish enemies / animals in this game weren't designed to just randomly start attacking your shit while you're away from your base

Like a boar randomly attacking crops or enemies slapping your workbench 💀

[cedar stump]

idm the mist that much but all those hills/mountains to climb uuuugh <.<

hmmm am I blind im trying to find the sap extractor

I got the dvegr extractor already,ygg wood. Its not at the workbench or hammer hmmm

[gray sand]

It takes metal, so that wouldn't be the workbench.

[cedar stump]

was confused looking at the wiki

[safe rivet]

you craft it with the hammer i belive

black metal, ygg wood, and extractor

[tacit crystal]

Within the range of workbench, with your building hammer.

[safe rivet]

right

putting my original edit back

[tacit crystal]

Did you look from crafting section in the hammer options?

[cedar stump]

yeah I just did now, dont have any iron for blast furnace tho here haha

im sure I can get some somewhere, already got 4.

[tacit crystal]

There are iron sources in Mistlands.

[cedar stump]

aaaah ancient sword/armor 😄

gonna have to build some kind of base around here

[fossil delta]

I just use towers that are already there. Especially if they have doors intact, and if it has a dungeon in the basement, bonus.

Also look out for bridges. Fantastic to tear down for resources.

They are very easy to tear down if you have a stonecutter and forge on hand.

[cedar stump]

hell yeah a drone aggro'd right in our little base 😄

fuuuck im so screwed man...

now a tick followed me home...

hes about to nuke our portal

[silk token]

run underneath it and chuck a spear into its tender danglies

[cedar stump]

im naked with no gear x)

[silk token]

07

[cedar stump]

getting spawn killed by tick too rofl

[neon steppe]

nothing better than running back to your corpse and getting killed by tick or deathsquito

someone gimme a swatter

[cedar stump]

oh it followed me home xd so im spawning in bed instantly into death

welp drone is gonna be camping our base ig

[silk token]

ok. new hard mode run is blessed. got into BF immediately got a bear and a crypt with 6 cores and a boss marker

[cedar stump]

portal mist unconnected pog

[cedar stump]

definitelly doing that tomorrow lol mistake we're made

[silk token]

classic first mistlands experience. welcome to the game XD

[cedar stump]

it was peacful for a while near our portal I really thought it was "safe-ish"

the issue was when I was trying to grab my shit back I had ore and extractor on me and couldnt portal back haha

Just sad I wanted to setup the sap extractor right when I had the mats on me he showed up lol

[gray sand]

Peace is a lie. Every good Sith knows this 😏

[fossil delta]

The Mistlands like to lull you into thinking its quiet and peaceful. Then the bugs show up to show you otherwise. Fortunately, once you repair a tower, it holds up fairly well to all attacks. There are things you can do to make it hold up even better. So put some thought into that as well.

[cedar stump]

Idm seekers/soldiers but a drone solo im having a hard time but yeah tomorrow gonna find a decent marble tower and set up there and have a backup portal for coming back as well

[fossil delta]

They are weak in their belly, so try to target that as exclusively as possible

I use the iron sledge to handle ticks. Makes them pretty much a non threat.

[cedar stump]

The issue is our starter spot is kinda surrounded by those rock hills so it was hard to dodge his attacks

[fossil delta]

The fire mead helps a lot, plus you can use terrain like that to block his fire from even hitting you.

Roots can be very protective too, if they have good space underneath.

[cedar stump]

Thanks for the tips, first day in mistland was quite something haha might upgrade the armor fully too, got padded armor level 2 and bm sword and shield level 3 atm.

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure armor value helps lower the damage you take from the fire. so between the armor, mead, and shield, you should take very little damage. I use a Tower shield, so take practically no damage.

[silk token]

they're kind of derpy if you stay directly beneath them, they'll go the whole time not even shooting you, use a spear instead of a bow if you have one

[cedar stump]

I was the one being derpy running like a headless chicken haha but like poke with the spear or u mean throwing them? Got the fang spear

[fossil delta]

You can still use a bow to do that as well.

You'd have to throw it, and I do believe the Fang Spear is still the best at that stage. I still use the bow, so don't know for sure.

[silk token]

oh sorry yeah i mean throw from directly underneath him

you basically immediately catch and equip it again, it'll go like 5x faster than a bow

[cedar stump]

Ill keep that in mind tho and bring meads, can't wait to explore more hopefully we find some mines, think I need something in there to unlock magic.

[fossil delta]

You need a few things to unlock magic, and two of them, at least, are in dungeons. Another the dvergr have.

[cedar stump]

Yeah already got that from dvergr

[fossil delta]

Also, any large skull you see, empty it out.

[cedar stump]

Seekers were attacking them and I looted it off the ground lol think we got most of the new items minus the mines stuff

[fossil delta]

Thats the best way to get it. Let the bugs break it free for you. Or just be a thief, and take it. Of course then be ready to kill all of them in that tower or mine location.

[wicked quarry]

The spawn beacons in the Ashlands, there anything special about the red circled smaller stones that surround it?

[fossil delta]

Not that I have learned about, I do occasionally get an interesting drop from those locations, but I have yet to learn what it might be for either.

[smoky quarry]

i love me a giant skull

[verbal mist]

is it 1 silver ore per ingot like iron?

[fossil delta]

If its not 1 ore per ingot for every metal, I've been missing something big.

[verbal mist]

ok good good 🙂

[fossil delta]

Except Bronze, of course.

[wicked quarry]

hmmm, anyone know, any chance its possible to build inside a Putrid Hole?

[shy marlin]

some things

[supple solstice]

you typically cannot really build in dungeons, but I have a mod that removes build restrictions so I can build a secret dark brotherhood hideout in a troll cave

[shy marlin]

I get why they don't want you building in dungeons but it's such a vibe honestly

[supple solstice]

yea I understand that it pretty much invalidates raiding and stuff like base defense, but I'm an adult I can build where I want to damnit

[untold sinew]

Wisp torches work

[supple solstice]

one time I built a huge base on top of a troll cave with the larger structure obstructing the entrance, I then had a secret entrance from the inside to get into the troll cave where it was very obviously some sort of sick murder dungeon - 10/10 I recommend

[lethal mauve]

Just got finished with my longhouse. I’m so happy with it

I only have thatch and normal wood to built it out of so it’s not great but I rlly used everything i had available to make it look nice.

[supple solstice]

the building really starts to pick up when you get darkwood in the plains

[verbal mist]

does the wolf chest piece also resist freezing?

lux/wolf cape or wolf chest all work i think?

[wintry valve]

welp, yesterday I tried to help someone experiencing crashes

its my turn now, valheim crashed for me

[tacit crystal]

There are some buildable items that don't require workbench, some of them are campfire, sign, wisptorch, log bench.

[wintry valve]

sweet lord it just crashed again!

[sudden musk]

Potentially stupid question here but I’m new to the community… Do people typically join other players servers? I recently set up a server and used the world my brother and friend helped me create but they rarely play anymore so I’ve been thinking of letting other players join in on the fun.

We’ve done everything without mods but mannnn I’ve been thinking of adding one to teleport with metals lol

[indigo jackal]

Don't need a mod, there's a setting in game

[tacit crystal]

You can post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 for looking people to play to join your world. Remember caution when engaging with people you don't know.

[tacit crystal]

You can turn the option to be able to bring metals through portals from world modifiers.

[sudden musk]

Also where can I share pictures and videos of base builds? Don’t know if it’s frowned upon in the basic chat

[tacit crystal]

You cannot post pics here (as regular users have no embed rights), but in channels like https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 and https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142
For video clips you can post them in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928

[sudden musk]

Thank you sir👍

[tacit crystal]

Also remember to read channel descriptions, most channels meant to post pics are not for regular discussing, but you can copy message link and post it in discussion channels in case you want to have chat about your screenshots or clips. 👍

[reef juniper]

Gang am I crazy or are tar blobs insanely strong, like far far too much.

They spawn in groups and shoot a whole ass submachine gun of goop at you that slows you down a ton

[cedar sparrow]

They're manageable once you know how. Run to the side and forward to avoid their tar jets, and hit them with a mace as you keep circling them to avoid the tar spray. If you can lure them off one at a time to separate them, it'll also make things easier. The huntsman bow is super quiet so shoot one fron a distance using that

[heady parcel]

They require a certain strategy to deal with if you're up close. I try to pop them from afar if I am able, they are pretty squishy.

[wintry valve]

bacon in valheim when?

[sudden musk]

Has anyone else had an insanely difficult time finding soft tissue? I’ve explored almost two entire most lands biomes and only found like 60-80

[tribal trench]

Did you mine the Brains from a jotun (giant) yet?

those are packed full of soft tissue

another good source is those little crates that are all over Dvergr Camps

[tacit crystal]

They can also be lured to attack other mobs in plains.

As they belong to undead faction.

[reef juniper]

I got a trophy for one, I am so down to make a portable tar goop to pokemon toss at an enemy I don't like

[ebon oyster]

I feel like the amount of item drops you get in this game is super imbalanced. Like resin is basically just infinite and doesnt have much of a use beyond torch fuel. Then, tar is limited and kinda difficult to get but it is used in a bunch of common construction recipes. Plus it is not infinite in any reasonable way.

[tacit crystal]

Tar is technically renewable as the tar pits respawn 1-2 Growths after some time.

[ebon oyster]

1-2 tar or 1-2 of the big globs filled with a bunch of tar?

[light snow]

2 growths everytime

[tacit crystal]

Growths, meaning the tar blobs.

[ebon oyster]

Oh sick I did not know that thank you

That isn't so bad then

[light snow]

Theres so nuch plains in the world you just have to go out there to get tar... should be tens of thousands of it out there.

[ebon oyster]

Im debating leaving my resources rate at 1.0 or going up a bit to 1.5. I played another game through with 3x and I had way too much stuff

[light snow]

3x is ridiculous... i feel rich at 1.5

[ebon oyster]

So far this game is only changed it to very easy death penalty and portal anything

[light snow]

Combat very hard is fun

[tacit crystal]

I like using 1,5x multiplier with my group when playing together, to easen a bit the grind, but for solo I usually stay at 1x.

[mild ember]

Hi there! Is this a good channel to ask questions about the game?

[mint shadow]

Yes

[mild ember]

tyty. I was just wondering if there was a way to save complete player-created buildings from one world to transfer into another. Both worlds are local play only

[mint shadow]

There is no easy way of doing it but I believe if you use a mod and commands/game files you can do it (would be very technical tho)

(I have seen it done but I myself don't know how to do it)

[mild ember]

Thank you very much for the answer. As long as it's possible in some way, I don't care how difficult it'll be to do. My friend and I used to play all of the time, and he passed from cancer recently. The save file is too old to replay, but his mead-hut is still there and I'd love to bring it to my new world

[tacit crystal]

If you mean like copying a building to build it exactly same to other world, then it's not possible as vanilla option.

[mild ember]

Thank you very much. I was hoping it was a vanilla feature, but am not opposed to using mods if necessary

[tacit crystal]

I believe mod exists, you can ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 @mild ember 👍

[tacit crystal]

Also, my condolenses.

[mild ember]

Thank you 🙂

[wind flower]

What to do in valheim after killing all forsaken? I dont wanna get bored of this game

Other than modding it

[crude saddle]

Build to your heart's content and/or trophy hunt

[mint shadow]

Get every trophy and item in the game

Get all fish lv 5

[warm sandal]

start over with a new map and different difficulty settings and/or other worldmodifiers then before?

[wind flower]

Das alot of suggestions

[warm sandal]

Well I have been playing that game for over 4k hours 😄 not getting bored yet 😄

[wind flower]

I pretty much built my own Odin's Great Lodge from GOW ragnarok and other things

Was just bummed my friends left me alone in our wolrd

[crude saddle]

Understandable thing to be bummed about

[thick ravine]

Any tips to iron age

Im turning to it

[tacit crystal]

Stay rested, don't wander in swamps during night, use best available foods, try keep an eye for early turnip seeds, hoe can help with pathing.

[thick ravine]

Ok thank you

[tacit crystal]

Oh, also poison resistance mead can be tremendous help.

[proper sundial]

does skythe lose you xp compared to hand picking? they both give same amount but skythe is AOE and therefore you get to have less xp from the same ammount of plants?

[merry pebble]

It gives you xp per use, so you get less than picking manually, but its much much faster 🙂

[proper sundial]

tyvm!

[smoky quarry]

swamp at night is wondeful

[merry pebble]

So many resources

[shy marlin]

[rugged bridge]

Really is, fighting wraiths is fun too, not sure why people hate them so much

[chrome badge]

Wraiths might be my favorite mob tbh

[tacit crystal]

[wicked quarry]

I didn’t really hate any mob until I got to the Ashlands. And even then, it wasn’t a mob specifically, rather the horde!

I absolutely hated it my first few days in the Ashlands but now I’ve grown accustomed and built strategies to deal

[vapid scaffold]

Hey, guys who are playing magic. Do you play full Embla set or do you mix with flametal ?
I'm playing helmet Embla with flametal on others slots.

I'm a little bit afraid of taking too much damage in full Embla.

[west mica]

For a pure mage, use the whole set its well wotth it

I really like combo builds though, then I use a mix

[wicked quarry]

I’m full magic and only have the Embla helmet so far. Still using Mistlands magic for the rest. I just make sure I always have my prot bubble up

[west mica]

You can go with blood mage where you use just blood magic to keep your HP low then use blood weapons for massive damage

Or do an elemental spellsword thing where you use magic for ranged and AoE followed up with melee weapons for focused damage

If you are a pure mage the amount of armor you have doesnt really matter for much, since you will want to keep your bubble up at all times

[vapid scaffold]

Maybe should I just try instead of asking here haha

I mainly play with magic (I love this big bramble root) with sometimes running to fight with double axe because i'm a Viking

[smoky quarry]

two (2) wraith trophies one after another? Odin must be watching

[west mica]

Melee is very good at burst damage on a single enemy, its a decent approach

[chrome badge]

Two goth hoodies 🫰

[west mica]

Use your magic against groups, axe vs single mobs

[tacit crystal]

Axeing through all of the hordes.

[neon steppe]

took a day off hunting moder, time to get back on things!

does moder have a thing where it can't spawn to certain proximity of center of world too?

[fossil delta]

She doesn't spawn very far to the north or south, so she tends to be along the east/west axis.

Not too far out there either, but she can be right on the Mistlands border.

She can be pretty close to spawn, but its been a while since I've seen her what I would call close to it.

[warped mantle]

been thinking about playing valheim through again. anyone know of a good modded server? i prefer one with something like epic loot so there is some gear min maxing

[paper marsh]

Get skills to 100, try and do a truly hardcore run (delete character/world on death), or at least play around with world settings

[heady parcel]

Decisions, decisions - Yag or Sealed Tower tonight? They are at opposite ends of the map, so it is either or this trip. Don't think I want to move on to Mistlands just yet, so might as well go spank the Fuling bros.

[paper marsh]

I say sealed tower

[tacit crystal]

You might find something you're looking for from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[hoary peak]

has anyone ever reached the big ole branches from the world tree?

[neon steppe]

FINALLYYYYY moder tablet

i never knew it could be this frustrating to find a boss

and im using maps and stuff!

im so done with mountains for a while

[heady parcel]

Tossed a blob elite bomb at a boss, the effect was a tiny bit underwhelming. I suppose you need to lay down like thirty or so at once for them to have any noticeable effect on the battle...

[gray sand]

You can with freefly. But they don't have collision iirc.

[tacit crystal]

I believe those blobs are not supposed to attack bosses either.

[heady parcel]

They did, but didn't last long

I might take to my effabout world, spawn one hundred blob bombs and spam them at Yag and see what happens 😄

[warped mantle]

not sure what mods i should be looking for tho 😄 any recommendations if i like a lot of content and extra gear?

[heady parcel]

Better ask that in #mods-discussion 😉

[fossil delta]

I imagine the #mods-discussion channel would have a lot of suggestions.

[silk token]

just wait for plains...

[fossil delta]

😄 Yep.

With the Queen , her location is easy to find, but then she is in the extreme Northwest, or Southeast, etc... so it can still take hours to get to her.

[paper marsh]

And Moders mountain will be all surrounded by mistlands half the time I go for her

[fossil delta]

That has yet to happen to me with Moder. If it does, I'll look for one of her other locations.

[paper marsh]

Not that I mind mistlands much but I hear a lot of people scared out of their minds when they see it

[fossil delta]

I hate it when I am blind going into it.

[paper marsh]

More often she's probably like 70% surrounded by mistlands, but I'm too lazy to go around a big island and check so I just go through the mistlands

[heady parcel]

It is just not a very hospitable place if you don't have the means to move around there yet. Plus the bugs hit hard if you're not ready for them...

[paper marsh]

ye

Not saying its an unwarranted fear

[fossil delta]

I have yet to find her even within sight of the Mistlands. So I hope that luck keeps up.

Plus I have plenty of time to be playing Valheim, so don't mind excuses to play it for even longer, by looking for easier boss sites, etc... I'm never in a hurry.

[paper marsh]

That's a good mindset

I'm usually not in a hurry either, though I love taking on a challenge when I see one

[rugged mango]

I must say, Mistlands really takes the fun out of this game.

Stumbling aimlessly until you find a dungeon is flawed design.

[fossil delta]

I do wish the wisp cleared more area, but at the same time, it does make me look every where in greater detail.

Now the Ashlands, I just dislike, period. Even hate.

[neon steppe]

safe to say best biomes were first ones

[fossil delta]

I wish with Mistlands, they would at least make the mists go away once you defeat the Queen.

[paper marsh]

I think mistlands is my favorite biome

A lot of content and fun gear, enjoy that you have to use your hearing and navigation skills, love that there's a relevant allied faction of mobs there. leads to some fun times

Ashlands was a let down for me. Mobs are pretty cool but the forts are just ugh

[fossil delta]

Over all, I like the Mistlands a lot. Especially when I find largish areas clear of the mists.

Ashlands I just find purely ugly and tedius. The near constant fighting loses its charm rather fast.

[paper marsh]

I agree though wisplight doesn't do a ton, which should probably be changed in some way. I usually start progressing mistlands a while before getting a wisp

[heady parcel]

Same. I just wish there was a bigger build piece like the dvergr beacons that cleared larger bubbles of mist. It could be unlocked after queen is dead, or requirie black forge to craft, either way something to make base building and post-queen "polish" more fun. Spamming wisplights is ugh

[ivory girder]

I really hope they make it so, there's a real dungeon on the inside of the fortress with the loot that you need that is hard. that would give the whole biome so much more meaning

[paper marsh]

I remember their concept art for Ashlands fort was pretty cool. I made the all to famous mistake of trusting the concept art and getting my hopes up

[ivory girder]

yeah same

really hoping for a revamp in the 1.0 release.

😅

[paper marsh]

I highly doubt it

But I feel like they're gonna cook with deep north

[fossil delta]

I doubt it would be done then. Maybe some time after, while they are cleaning up everything else.

[ivory girder]

yeah 100% can't wait for the full release

[ivory girder]

true

because when i hear fortress i don't think about a small castle packed with mobs

i imagine a big fortress or atleast a dungeon on the inside.

[fossil delta]

So like the towers with dungeons inside of them in the Mistlands, just much larger.

I do like those towers, since the dungeons respawn every few hours. Mostly. Its a large part of how I stay stocked with carapace arrows.

If I did magic, they would be even more important to me.

[ivory girder]

Yeah, it just feels so small when finding a fortress and, you can just go in and be done with it in a few minutes.

[rugged bridge]

Time to scrub the patch notes and rename it to a Fort instead lol

[ivory girder]

Yep pretty much 😃

[rugged bridge]

Charred bunker

[ivory girder]

💀

[fossil delta]

Another complaint I have, since I only got the trophy a couple of days ago, is I think they really missed the boat on the Vile armor. Especially the head piece.

Just the jaw and a bone pony tail? Really? I understand that the trophy is undead and zomby looking, but thats all you could come up with for the head piece?

[heady parcel]

Oooh they had an egg, I can start raising chickens! That's not unlocked at the vendor until after Yag, right?

[fossil delta]

Right, Yag.

Plus they are 1500 coin, each.

Is it normal to get two of each of those locations?

Everyone talks like they only get one of each. I have two.

[foggy glacier]

There should be two unless it changed with the last update

[heady parcel]

There's three of each actually

[fossil delta]

Oh? I'll have to zoom out and make sure I am seeing the entire map next time I sign in.

[merry pebble]

Should be 2 on normal resource droprate iirc 🤔

[heady parcel]

Near the Sealed Towere there was a massive fuling village and right next to it an equally massive tar pit, I got there at night - what a light show!

[merry pebble]

Wait, locations, i am dumb 🤦‍♂️

[heady parcel]

Everything is normal, except it is a no-portals run

Aaah right

[merry pebble]

I thought eggs, not Sealed Towers And other locations xD

[heady parcel]

yeah I got two precious eggs!

Found a use for the blob bombs - distraction, tossed a couple at the bros and got a few free swings in while they dealt with the blobs

[shy marlin]

Blob bombs are highly slept on

Maybe it's time to share the tech 👀

[heady parcel]

Gliding along a river through plains during a foggy fog. You see hordes of mobs on both banks, fires from fuling villages, unseen roars of fuling zerkers battling growths, that one fuling with a torch that jumps in the river to try and get to you... Gods I love this game...

[fossil delta]

So far, the dvergr have not treated our use of those new bombs as attacks on them, by us.

[heady parcel]

To actually kill a group of dvergr you'll have to go through half a stack, no?

[fossil delta]

Haven't had to try that, yet. But probably 4 or 5 for just no stars, is my guess.

[tacit crystal]

Ooze bombs are very useful in Frost caves where the residents are weak against poison and deal damage types that oozes resist.

[fossil delta]

Thats where we use them the most, in Frost caves, then in the mines of the Mistlands. Takes 4 to kill all the seekers behind a door/wall, not to mention ticks. If they are not starred.

[heady parcel]

<making notes> I still need to raid a few frost caves to complete my fenris set, and mines can be bothersome later on, that I will have to try!

[fossil delta]

Makes the mines a lot easier, for sure. Between those bombs and the big hammers, the mines are pretty low stress. Only really tough things are starred warriors and 2 star seekers, but even then the bomb soften them up a little.

[heady parcel]

I love the idea of them, but seeing most mobs just pop them immediately unscathed put me off a bit

[fossil delta]

I'm talking mostly the original oooze bombs. We only use the actual blob bombs and freeze bombs in the Misltnads. Those don't get behind the walls as well as the classic ooze bombs. My wife makes hundreds of them, so we have plenty to use.

The bile bombs soften up soldiers a good bit.

[heady parcel]

Never had the displeasure of running into a two satar seeker in a mine, I've only seen one and he was guarding the queen's lair. He and two one-star buddies, they were a tougher fight than the queen herself I think. I had absolutely no space to move between a cliff and the sea...

[fossil delta]

Playing with my wife makes them pretty easy, same with soldiers. We get them between us and then go all "savage aggression" on them. We kill them pretty fast.

That bonus creatures get for there being two of us doesn't seem to do them any good. 😄

[cedar stump]

Alright buddy about to log in so we can go get all my stuff back

I bet that gjall still waiting for me 😛

[pliant hatch]

I love the pringles effect on "veins" when mining. 😄

AKA: Once you know how to pop, you can't stop.

[heady parcel]

Aye I could never not mine a silver vein that way. With copper I don't bother though, they're just to big and irregular, often end up digging up half the bloody forest for one node. More efficient to take more nodes and not dig quite as deep.

[chrome badge]

I stopped doing that after timing myself, it took longer to dig it out completely than to just mine it 😛

[paper marsh]

Mining it also gives pickaxe skill

[pliant hatch]

For copper I only mine the top part, leaving the rest underground.

But for the skulls, ribcages and the ancient armor / weapons found in the Mistlands it's so satisfying the moment you have that hit and the ground sparkles with all the black marble. Or copper / orin.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, so the more you mine, the faster it gets.

[heady parcel]

Silver is pretty slow to mine, fairly small chunks that come off each time that excavating it all at least feels more efficient. And that way I can be sure I am not missing something...

[pliant hatch]

Silver is the only thing I actually uncover completely.

[fossil delta]

They are shallow in comparison to copper.

[pliant hatch]

If you're lucky, yes.
I've had silver veins that ended up with a deep pit in the mountain side.
Deep enough for even a Golem being unable to look over the edge of it. So basically up to the point where you hit the indestructable rock.

[gilded wind]

I can’t post in lfg I was making posts than got banned ?

[pliant hatch]

You tried to post in a language that isn't English?

[cedar stump]

awwww man its still there and like 4 seekers and tons of ticks xd

yay got my shit back

the gjall de'aggrod my buddy had to brb and ofc he pops back up haha

this time I threw all my ores on the ground and peaced it xd he prolly heard me cutting wood ig making noise?

[heady parcel]

Yeah, noise like mining or woodcutting carries far, and mobs come to investigate

[cedar stump]

wtf do I do to remove a tick btw

it just 100%-0% me wouldnt go off

[fossil delta]

Dodge roll. I like to pull out my sledge, and kill all of them in its AoE at one time.

[cedar stump]

aaah fair....

mistland will be the end of me I think :/

im too bad at this game

[fossil delta]

Its just new challenges to learn to deal with. You'll get there.

[pliant hatch]

Nah it won't.

You can even lower your difficulty for a while until you're used to the biome, then put it back to your normal playing difficulty.
The World Modifiers are for that and there's no shame in doing so.

It's your game after all. So it doesn't matter what others think, just as long as you have fun.

[cedar stump]

its still only at 80% xd me and my friend are both dead, but at least we kiting it away when dieing so portal is still up

since its been up for so long fighting us theres so many ticks haha

[fossil delta]

Scenarios like this is when that old gear can come in handy.

[cedar stump]

my old gear is somwhere in my 10 graves over there xd

[fossil delta]

Or better yet, have a crap ton of mats in your chests, so you can make more.

[tacit crystal]

Root Harnesk. It's very useful against ticks and seekers.

[cedar stump]

aaaaand portal is dead again...

[fossil delta]

Dang. I hope your next portal isn't too far away. OF course, first time in Mistlands, any other portal is too far away...

[cedar stump]

its very close to our yagluth stone portal but both of our boat are on the mistland shore

[fossil delta]

If you get back soon enough, none of the mats will despawn.

[cedar stump]

dont think it despawn at all maybe time based when server is on

ive got all my gear back at least, but not my mate.

[fossil delta]

Boat items I think stay in boxes. You only have to worry about the ones that sink, like the nails.

[cedar stump]

maybe I gotta try with some stamina food

ive been using serpent stew/lox pie/wolf skewer but then I run out of stam dodging all the ticks and tank the gjall attacks

[fossil delta]

I always do one stamina. Usually the Salad in Misltands.

[pliant hatch]

Only what's in the boat's inventory remains in boxes.

Boat materials can despawn over time. Nails and hides / scraps / leather sink. Wood is the only thing that floats

[cedar stump]

"you feel a chill down ur spine" reeee

[smoky quarry]

So my game crashed, somehow character got saved weird, i lost my bear armor set that I placed on a stand and took the carapace armor. Crash. Now I have carapace on me & on stand. Double armor...no bear armor. How can I fix this do a swap with commands?!

plus many other stuff dublicated or got lost like random resources...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, dev commands.

I usually only lose two items or so. So don't worry about it, Unless it happens to be made by mats I only have few of.

[smoky quarry]

weird crash, logged back, raid started again, crashed after. :p lets see

Had the undead, now the fire sprits.

[heady parcel]

Gods, in 2,600 hours I think I have had two crashes in total

[fossil delta]

You may want to look at the crash issue is the help channel, had to do with out of date drivers, etc...

[untold sinew]

I had one not so long ago

Monday

[cedar stump]

time to make a 3rd boat...

this time we making a portal super close to shore to be safe

[untold sinew]

Good job

[untold sinew]

Y?

[heady parcel]

Not near the fight location I guess

[fossil delta]

Mine occur on the paid for portals. Rarely when playing with my wife on Steam, but it happens even then. Its usually the Steam portal being the problem as well. Fortunately we had recent saves that we just reloaded, and everything was fixed well enough.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Never hurts to have a back up near by. At least until you get used to dealing with all the new challenge.

[heady parcel]

My first mistlands portal I dug into a stone spire. Excavated under, then hollowed out just enough space to slap down the portal and a discreet door into the hillside. Had gjall raids where I could just listen to them flying around outside all confused untill they effed off..

[cedar stump]

gjall camping our first camp in mistland we have both our boat on the shore

and gjall destroyed our portal ofc

[fossil delta]

Just killing you isn't enough, it has to add insult to injury. 😄

[cedar stump]

we will also bring back our longboat from there before going back in just incase lol

[heady parcel]

How can cooking be just at 25 after all the bloody cooking I have done?!? Hell, even sneaking is higher!

[pliant hatch]

Because it's a skill that doesn't grant as much XP as other things, while you also use it less compared to the other skills.

[cedar stump]

whats the orange bar below every skill btw?

[heady parcel]

I use it all the darned time though, I like making great stores of stuff. Even made an effort to bake old meat into coal just to get a bit of xp, but I gave up

[heady parcel]

xp

[cedar stump]

hmm that would be weird that I had 0 xp in blocking or some other skills but hmmk

wonder how many levels ive lost x)

[heady parcel]

Many deaths in quick succession is not that bad, the 10-minute no-skill-drain thing kinda encourages zerging and dying again, and again, and again...

If you get held up and know you might not make it to the death site, I know folks who get themselves killed to reset the timer and try again

I hate dying too much to ever do that though, I do my damndest not to die. I'm not on a no-deaths run or anything, but I still haven't died once this time. Not even falling off my house while building!

[cedar stump]

love how the gjall is just staying there shooting our building still

[pliant hatch]

You two don't have a bow to shoot at it?
Or even one of you has one?

[cedar stump]

we both do but all the ticks overwhelms us

[pliant hatch]

And what if one of you shoots the Gjall, while the other one uses an AoE weapon to deal with the ticks?

[heady parcel]

Ticks are very squishy, anything kills them instantly. If anyone of you has an atgeir or sledge, use the AoE thing to wipe them off the both of you while the other guy focuses on the gjall.

[pliant hatch]

Even dropping an Oozebomb and stand in the cloud will help you as that will kill the ticks too.

[heady parcel]

Oh, I just said the same as Thorin, just some other words - seems a legit strategy then 😅

[cedar stump]

oh well im done

couldnt fight 10 ticks 2 seekers and a gjall.

[pliant hatch]

Last effort solution:

Enable dev-commands, leave the console and press "K" that kills them all.

I'm aware it's cheating, but that's better than rage-quitting a game because you got thrown too much at you.

[cedar stump]

if I was playing solo I would have already done that, my friend doesnt wanna do that at all.

And ive lost all my patience dying like 20 times.

prolly should make some aoe weapons ig

[pliant hatch]

I guess lowering the difficulty is off limits too?

[cedar stump]

running from gjall = me having 0 stamina to block/parry all the other monsters

cant even imagine fighting those 2 stars gjall, nightmare stories lol

[heady parcel]

Yeah, bring a sledge next time and the ticks are no longer a problem. It knocks seekers back to, so it is a good crowd control weapon to make space for the other guy to do stuff

[chrome badge]

Every biome comes with growing pains, it's usually not entirely about not being skilled enough to deal with it. Changing the approach in a few ways can make all the difference.

[heady parcel]

Dangit, never thought this would happen - ran out of raspberries. Drawback with setting up the forever base on an island with not a single berry bush.

Need to sail back to spawn island and do a bit of berry-pickin'

[chrome badge]

Can I interest you in a portal chain farm? #valheim-help message 😄

[heady parcel]

No-portals run though ;D

[cedar stump]

I just need to keep being patient and not tilt, once I get thru this it will go better...

[rugged bridge]

Ashlands will probably be lol

Can't go 10 seconds without something wanting to gut you

[cedar stump]

was the same thing in every biome, but not as bad as right now with gjall.

[chrome badge]

That's a good mentality, I believe in you!

[cedar stump]

btw sheeesh 1500 for ONE egg 😮

35health 12stam also O.o

[chrome badge]

No portals and you're living isolated? Good luck! 😅

[heady parcel]

Yeah, key when you have such a congregation of mobs in one place is to not rush in headfirst. Use your bows to lure a few ticks at a time to you, kite them away a bit to not alert the others, rince and repeat. Do that until the gjall is solo - then let one guy focus the honking horror and the other takes care of any creepy-crawlers it deploys!

[fossil delta]

yeah, it is pretty crazy. I will definitely be doing the sealed towers in the future instead. Especially since I like doing that tower.

[heady parcel]

It is not really isolated, it is built at a four-biome junction with both Hildir and the Bog Witch in sight, really a perfect spot. Only drawback is the meadows patch is so small it has no berry bushes - or the lox have trampled them, I dunno which...

[pliant hatch]

Don't eat the eggs.

Create an enclosed area with a hanging brazier and let them hatch.

You get much better things from it in the future.

[cedar stump]

yeah im just going in like a dumb dumb and getting aggro of everything haha

[fossil delta]

As for the ticks, I wonder how the Stagbreaker would do against them? You know, in situations like this where you have lost all your better gear to tombstones?

[cedar stump]

our main issue is my friend and I have never fought the gjall together since this whole ordeal.

[chrome badge]

Ah I see, that does make sense in that case!

At least the things you'll need to source aren't very heavy, you could likely carry an entire inventory of berries.

[cedar stump]

fighting anything with a buddy is always much easier since you can kinda swap aggro back and forth

[fossil delta]

My wife and I like to get the big bad in between us and just beat them to death ASAP.

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I probably left a stack or two back in my first little hut, there's some more stuff there that I haven't collected yet so about time for a run back..

[chrome badge]

Turn it into a foraging outpost. 🤘 🧑‍🌾

[fossil delta]

Gjall aren't that bad with Fang and needle arrows. Maybe 8 shots to the belly, and BOOM!

[heady parcel]

Yeah boss stones are there too, so I have errands there once in a while anyways 😄

[heady parcel]

Frost arrows even better!

[cedar stump]

alright some seekers dead and ticks we both recovered our gear!

surely now we got this 😄

[fossil delta]

Hopefully. Usually once you get past something like this, everything else seems to be a breeze. Again, usually.

Even though mines can get pretty crazy multiple times, because they do have a fair number of different layouts.

[ionic elk]

Gjall usually spawn in the same areas in my experience, once I avoided those spots Mistlands became way more chill!

It was the biome that forced me to adjust settings tho, tho make it more manageable and fun as a solo player. The amount of viking chores at that point alone can be really time consuming

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it does get to be more and more as you progress.

[cedar stump]

making fire meads and we going in strong!

[chrome badge]

Don't forget to find a nearby high spot you can climb and look over the mist for any Gjall flying about as well. You can always navigate around them, or at least get the first strike if you're so inclined. ✊

[cedar stump]

then I upgrade the cauldron and we get better food

[ionic elk]

Lightfoot mead is a must imo

[cedar stump]

oh I think I unlocked that but havent checked it out

oh wow thats BiS for traveling mistland

[fossil delta]

Yeah, fire meads are key when fighting gjall. You'll get to a point where you can just stand there and keep shooting at it while it breathes on you, and you will be fine. (lvl 3 Mistlands armor, plus fire mead.)

[ionic elk]

Yeah massively so when you have the feather cape too, jinkies

[cedar stump]

we are rocking padded armor level 2 currently.

we barely explored mistland we were just trying to setup furnace/kiln etc.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Lightfoot is a game changer for Mistlands.

[ionic elk]

I didn't rock fire resist mead, just stood in water when fighting gjalls, can be useful in a pinch

[fossil delta]

Between it, the running mead, and the feather cloak, you can feel like your flying up and down those mountains, etc... in the game.

[chrome badge]

My advice for base building, if your Mistlands is attached to another biome, build just on the edge of Mistlands itself. This is typically much safer, and even get some help during Mistlands Raids.

I had a swamp attached, and watched a Wraith completely decimate a Gjall for me.

[fossil delta]

Are the plains really help, though? 😄

[cedar stump]

this mistland might not be a good one for that, havent seen any biome close so far, we could try and sail the coast on boat.

we got the plains across the ocean tho with yagluth stone

[ionic elk]

I imagine a base in the Mistlands is reeeal good way to come up with a tonne of new swear words 👀💦

[fossil delta]

You run around enough, you'll find every prior biome next to a Mistlands.

[chrome badge]

Some Mistlands are totally isolated islands to be fair.

[foggy valley]

merhaba

[stoic wasp]

How tf u supposed to get yr loot back when there keeps coming more n more enemy's everytime u die and have to run thru plains naked,, ffs why i play this game 😄

[ionic elk]

There are also a tonne of 'freebie' bases you can just claim in themselves lands

[foggy valley]

Nabersiniz abiler

[ionic elk]

There is a Body Recovery Service for such scenarios if you wanna look in #1024264966712340510

[cedar stump]

made us some good salad for the upcoming fight 😛

[fossil delta]

I've only built two bases in the Mistlands. The best one was the one I built "under" ground and made my entire roof out of black marble. I had 3 roots inside of it, and two just outside. So got my sap pretty safely.

[pliant hatch]

English only in this server, please.

[chrome badge]

English speaking server.

[cedar stump]

I just wanted to start getting sap asap to unlock mage eventually 😛

[stoic wasp]

ok ty

[ionic elk]

It's worth the hassle

[pliant hatch]

To answer the last question:

Because we're all a bit of a masochist on the inside?

[fossil delta]

I don't go the mage route, so once I have my gear made, I just make sure I have plenty of Lingering Stamina meads.

[stoic wasp]

yeah its damn self touture

[fossil delta]

Again, even your bronze gear is usable on the plains. Which is why I keep all my old gear from bronze on.

[cedar stump]

you can plant magecap and jotun puffs btw?

[fossil delta]

Yes, only in the Mistlands.

[cedar stump]

oh nice

[fossil delta]

If you run around enough, you don't really need to garden. They respawn.

So my wife and I don't replant very often. We just find so much of them running around and exploring.

Which you pretty much have to do anyways, to find mines, skulls, and extractors.

[cedar stump]

alright should have plenty without plantign then, might be overthinking it 😄 I really wanna give a try to mage, my buddy wont do that at all.

[chrome badge]

Hard cut to your buddy pleading for your mage buffs 🙂

[ionic elk]

particularly during the boss fight

[fossil delta]

Having one as a mage and the other tank is pretty sweet.

[rugged bridge]

Having/being a mage makes everything trivial period.

[ionic elk]

I can imagine, I pretty much had to use skellies when I was doing it solo, just for the aggro pull

[cedar stump]

yeah hes been kinda tanking with tower shield

[ionic elk]

I mean, not really? Just because you can annihilate everything doesn't mean you should, otherwise it's just boring and lame. It's up to you how much of a point & click adventure you wanna turn it into

[warm sandal]

My mistlands base has not increased my swear word vocab at all 😄

[fossil delta]

I'm just not willing to throw away all my melee skills to work on mage skills. So I stay melee. I do fine, so no loss.

[rugged bridge]

I heartily recommend it for two reasons.

• It's overpowered and makes the game feel like a breeze
• It's only available after you slog through the first 5 biomes, whereas you can mess about with majority of other playstyles much earlier on

[cedar stump]

I like to run around so I imagine attacking with mage only uses eitr/mana right

[ionic elk]

Aye

[pliant hatch]

And the occasional stamina.

[fossil delta]

Blood magic eats your HP.

[rugged bridge]

Yes, annihilating things easily means that fighting them becomes trivial. It's a choice, but I mean, the game's combat really is just point and 2 clicks if you wanna talk about that lol

[ionic elk]

Aye there is one spell that forces you to have min 2 Eitr foods too, otherwise you are free to just use 1 and have a small mana pool

[rugged bridge]

And the occasional rare dodge when parrying a 2 star isn't worth it

[keen raptor]

Has anyone had eggs disappear in multiplayer? I had some chicken eggs in my attic and couldn't find them so I used find ChickenEgg and ChickenMeat with no pings so they didn't hatch and die the eggs just... disappeared

[fossil delta]

With my Tower shield combat just sums up as Block while hitting, block while recovering stamina, repeat until all enemies are dead.

[ionic elk]

Might wanna invest in your own lil Island with a Ward in it 👀💦

[keen raptor]

its a priv server just me and one friend 😭

[ionic elk]

I think I have had things disappear in my own server tbf, it's hard to tell tho cos I am partial to the odd mead binge

[heady parcel]

Thing with magic for it to truly shine it requires a significant time investment to "re-school" your character. When you start dabbling in magic your staves will be lvl one and your skills at lvl 1 - bringing it into mistlands right away will hurt a lot. You need to spend a lot of time training - to learn how to use the staves and to actually grind the skills - before magic gets to shine. I've never made it, I hate the playstyle. I liked my two skellies that ran around randomly around my shroom farm for weeks after I tested the dead raiser, but gods I hated the mechanics of bubbling, tossing fire etc etc. Not my thing, blegh. But it is fun that it is in the game, and the robes make for nice decorations in the house!

[chrome badge]

Hopefully they didn't take them, those are expensive!

[ionic elk]

You can train up the skills quite quickly if you go to the swamps at night and hang out in the middle of a few different bone piles

It's super common to get overlapping areas with 3 spawners in each

[fossil delta]

yeah, not willing to do that. Tried it the one time I considered magic, and I just decided to stick to melee and keep those skills increasing.

[ionic elk]

If needs be, I'd be happy to gift you a couple chimken eggs

[keen raptor]

already spawned two more

[cedar stump]

OMG

We finally fucked him up, the relief.

[fossil delta]

The Gjall? Just think, one day you will think of them as being pretty easy to deal with.

[smoky quarry]

not the black & purple ones

[fossil delta]

Those the colors of the 2 star gjalls?

[rugged bridge]

The magic skills themselves don't make as much of an impact overall unless you're comparing extremely high levels, but the staves had to be balance around having a low magic skill because you get them so late into the game. Truth be told though magic is just overpowered because of one staff in particular, the rest are situational

[fossil delta]

I haven't even seen a starred gjall in well over a year, and we go out at night frequently.

[cedar stump]

hopefully haha 😛 even then it took us a bit to kill him, my mate ended up dying

I kited him around a black tower

[smoky quarry]

i hope you never do

[fossil delta]

Gjall don't scare me. If they are starred, it just means I use the terrain more to block their attack. It just takes longer to kill them.

[smoky quarry]

and way less for gjall to kill you

[fossil delta]

Yeah, if I screw up, that may happen.

[rugged bridge]

I fear myself shooting the gjall with an arbalest more than the gjall itself

[fossil delta]

I have yet to use the abrbalest against anything. But I did get its skill up to 20 at home, so will be using it soon.

[rugged bridge]

I was just trying it out to see how the playstyle feels, it feels bad

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I found that killing anything with magic took me like three times as long as bonking it did, plus it got me in trouble a lot since things wouldn't die as quickly as I was used to. All in all, staves ended up being wall decorations..

[rugged bridge]

Shat bricks upon using it on a ledge lol

[fossil delta]

Yeah,, it is awkward feeling.

[rugged bridge]

Have you tried staff of the wild?

[smoky quarry]

takes forever to load not ideal if you solo

[cedar stump]

moved all our stuff into a black tower should be safe-ish now!

[heady parcel]

Never used magic since lvl1 staves in Mistlands, not crafted anything in my Ashlands world.

[silk token]

same, i switched from magic back to melee and was like why was i using magic. having a health bubble in ashlands you have to recast and make yourself insanely vulnerable whenever you do is just silly

[fossil delta]

As long as you repaired it. You still should add some defenses.

[rugged bridge]

If you're ever curious, try to make and use the staff I mentioned for a bit, it's pretty much the most overpowered weapon in the game

[neon steppe]

what was your guys first ever death in valheim to, if you remember? mine was to beehive 😭

[rugged bridge]

But I can understand the rest of the staves not being enjoyable, the mistlands ones are quite basic, the rest of the ashlands ones are pretty.. underwhelming

[smoky quarry]

tree

[fossil delta]

Not sure, but it was either a boar or a tree.

[silk token]

vine staff is nuts if you have to, but just killing them with a big sword is still faster

[rugged bridge]

Friend beat me to death

[heady parcel]

I know about it, but no, I probably will not. I think I will make the troll thing just to deal with fortresses..

[fossil delta]

Maybe even to the smoke from a campfire. That happened a few times.

[silk token]

though i will say when o was just starting ashlands and dying constantly vine staff was a big breath of relief cuz i could actually breath

[smoky quarry]

greyling threw rock and pushed me under falling tree

[rugged bridge]

Yeah can't deny air dropping a meteor that spawns a demonic entity into a walled fort feels good

[cedar stump]

ill have to try, maybe I dont have a station unlocked to repair black marble yet.

or maybe stonecutter works?

[fossil delta]

Stonecutters, but the new forge is needed for the default doors and window pieces.

[silk token]

idk probably a troll, it was so long ago but i think the first one i ever saw i yelled what the hell is that and shot it with a bow for 10 minutes, i think one ambushed me in a copper hole soon after that

[rugged bridge]

If you run a maxed out weapon with Iolite then yeah it'll melt anything

But entry level, vine staff just destroys

It's probably gonna make entering the deep north child's play

[silk token]

vine staff should scale with element or blood its weird that its a flat damage summon, might be underwhelming in DN

[fossil delta]

Weirdly, nothing lets you repair the wood flooring/wall pieces, or the stairs.

[rugged bridge]

We'll find out, if anything, the fact that the roots knock mobs around like marbles is sure to help

[cedar stump]

the ground is shaking, oh noes! trolls what imma gonna do 😛

can there be Mistland raids... in meadows xd? is that a thing

[silk token]

oof i forgot about that. am doing a hard run with more raids… gonna wait til i have a bronze spear before beating elder.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Seekers.

Don't think its a raid though, they just show up at night like the Fuling do.

So after the Queen?

[cedar stump]

as long as we cant have gjall in our meadows xd

[fossil delta]

Seekers go over my walls. Which ticks me off more than anything.

[rugged bridge]

Err..

😶

The only piece of advice I'll give you about that is
watch the skies, traveller

[stuck lake]

can i get eitr with armor or something or do i always need to eat it

[gray sand]

It's the same as stamina or health, food is the only way to increase it.

[stuck lake]

like is it always zero unless i eat something

cause if it is that sounds really annoying

[shy marlin]

yes

[stuck lake]

ok im not getting magic then

[gray sand]

Same way your health is always 25 unless you eat something.

[stuck lake]

magic sounds stupid in this game

[gray sand]

That's a you issue, given how OP it is.

[cedar stump]

alright sap production started! now still missing something

[fossil delta]

The new forge.

Plus processing flesh.

[cedar stump]

need some new surtling core I imagine

got tons of tissue but idk what to do with em yet

[fossil delta]

Kind of. Its a new core, period.

You need these new cores to process the tissue too.

3 new tables/crafting stations.

They are only in the mines. Also called dungeons.

Along with another food item for Eityr, and I think a mead or two.

[cedar stump]

yeah got the mead unlock and food items for it with the new cauldron I think

[fossil delta]

Which is why I take over a tower with a dungeon in it, and leave a portal there. A few things respawn every few hours in these dungeon/mines.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but I think at least one more needs something in mines. Probably the stamina one.

I'd have to look to be sure.

[cedar stump]

tempted to look but ill figure it out soon 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you will.

[cedar stump]

I try to only look at stuff im sure of and want confirmation kinda thing.

[fossil delta]

Understood. I try to avoid spoilers of Ashlands things. Now I have played enough hours in Ashlands that I only see things I have failed to figure out or realize.

[cedar stump]

oh wow

purple lightning 😮 with some weird noises

[silk token]

what could it MEAN???

[cedar stump]

I dont really wanna know, but also im curious? lol

[ionic elk]

Yeah those Mistland storms are a trip. I thought the lightning echoing sounded a lot like laughter too..couple this with the fact the first time I noticed it I was fighting 3 seekers for my life and had a fever

[cedar stump]

laaaame you cant use blast furnace to smelt all kind of ores

[gray sand]

😁

[ionic elk]

viking chores intensifies

[pliant hatch]

Nope. Only "late stage" ores in that one.

[gray sand]

The "realism" explanation as to why not is that it burns too hot and would melt the other metals.
Whereas the baseline Smelter doesn't burn hot enough to process things like blackmetal.

The actual explanation is "devs said so" 😁

[fossil delta]

At least you can apply some realism to it, whether its why the devs "said so" or not.

Realism has not been a thing with regards to metals, or much of anything, in Valheim. Its all based on myth.

We play dead people.

[cedar stump]

time to get more extractor, gjall gonna help us slay those dvergr xd

[fossil delta]

Thats what I usually do. I hate watching those towers get so damaged, though. Usually more by the mages than the gjall! 😄 😄

Its much easier with mining sites, and you don't have to get all the dvergr killed either. Just go in there and make the gjall target you at what you want destroyed.

The dvergr don't care about what you pick up afterwards.

[cedar stump]

well scouted too far on the mistland, had 0 food buff up 🙁

still havent seen a single mine.

found like 8 roots and 5 towers no mines smh

[pliant hatch]

They're either hidden under a former Dvergr tower or as a "cave" with a large staircase in front and usually a single burning Wisp-lantern.
And there's always seekers near them.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, a big clue to us is when we get atacked by more than 2 seekers. Probably a mine nearby. That, or a dvergr mine that got over run by seekers, but those are kind of rare, and usually have nothing of real worth in them.

[cedar stump]

lightfoot makes traversing mistland so much better wow 😄

[pliant hatch]

Depends if you consider the cores as "not real worth"

[fossil delta]

These are their surface mines, not the ones we go inside of. Granted, they built both, but you only find living dvergr at one of them. Usually. Just not these.

These mines are where you find them messing with giant skulls, or more often, ribs. But when its just seekers, it looks like they abandoned it, and the seekers moved in.

[pliant hatch]

If you consider that a mine, then there's three.

One being the skull-excavation , one being an overrun Dvergr Tower and one being the staircase entrance with the single wisp lantern.

Out of those three, two have a chance to give you cores and spawn a vegvisir. The skull excavation won't do that, but give you marble and tissue.

[cedar stump]

seeker 2 star holy sheeeesh

[fossil delta]

Its a mining site. Where they "mine" skulls or ribs. Its funny that they still have crates of brain matter when its just ribs in the hole.

[cedar stump]

still havent found a single mine tho dang it

[pliant hatch]

In general, when players talk about a "mine" they mean the ones underground where you can find the vegvisirs and the cores.

Not the one where you can find the soft tissue.

[fossil delta]

They take a bit to find. They are not common. You will easily find 5+ towers occupied by dvergr before you will find a mine in such a tower, or with the stairs.

[pliant hatch]

That one's usually listed as an excavation site.

[fossil delta]

Well, they are mines, not dungeons. Either way, digging for something took place at one time or another.

[cedar stump]

like thats what we have discovered so far, prolly didnt look good enough, some spots did have lonely lantern with some seekers.https://imgur.com/a/T6VICbZ

[pliant hatch]

So I guess the archeological site at Pompeï is a mine as well, according to your definition.

[fossil delta]

The game calls what we go into mines, not dungeons.

[pliant hatch]

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

I rest my case.

[fossil delta]

I never see a name for the surface digging. Excavation fits as well.

Yeah, infested MINE, not dungeon.

Thats why I said what the game calls it, not a wiki.

I rarely look at the wiki.

Why do I know the Dvergr dug the infested mines? Because they tell you so, within the game. Not because I looked at a wiki.

[cedar stump]

lost my corpse and loot again 😄

we gotta run for like 5-10min before going back to our graves but we keep dying on the way back GG think its enough valheim for me sadly

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I carry a portal with me all the time. Put it up when I know trouble is coming, or I am getting into it. It helps on the death runs.

[cedar stump]

we were exploring and being careless alot meh

im so sad, no patience left for today.

[fossil delta]

Understandable. I get that way with Ashlands. Even faster than normal just because I find the place so ugly. At least Mistlands is pretty.

[cedar stump]

Mistland is such a difficulty spike x) just because of traversing the land and such

often in bad spots having to take a fight

[fossil delta]

Yep. Its more important than ever to move to a better fighting location.

[cedar stump]

welp at least tomorrow we gonna have more lightfoot mead, ig we equip full silver gear and get back should be fine.

[fossil delta]

Silver gear? Not as good as plains gear. I hope your friend is at least using the black metal tower shield.

[cedar stump]

we dont have "good" backup gear

its the set before padded armor

[fossil delta]

Oh, this is back up gear? OK, not terrible. Like I have said, until this week, my wife goes all the way to Ashlands with Root Armor.

[cedar stump]

I dont get whats so good about root

[fossil delta]

Now she will do it with the Vile set.

[cedar stump]

and its weak to fire too so bad against gjall

[fossil delta]

Yep. I don't get it either, but my wife does a lot of things I don't get in Valheim. She doesn't die nearly as often as I would have used to think she should. Like she has died only twice this play through.

[pliant hatch]

Root harnask gives good pierce resistance.
Combine it with the Fire potion and the weakness to fire is gone.

[cedar stump]

ah so its good against Seekers and such

[pliant hatch]

Aye

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but my wife will still die to the gjall, where as I hardly take any damage. I can stand there and kill it.

With it breathing on me two or three times.

Hardly any damage to me.

[cedar stump]

have died so many times, I actually wonder how many xd

[fossil delta]

She is wearing Vile armor now, so we will see how that handles Gjall, and the rest.

[fossil delta]

Your graves are on your map, if you have not erased them.

[cedar stump]

note to self never feel too much confident in mistland and start being careless just to find a mine 😛

that seeker 2 star really hits hard

[tropic scarab]

Yo any one trying to help farm flametle

[pliant hatch]

When you're in game, press /stats in the chat box.
It will bring up a list of all stats you achieved in the game.
Then press [enter] again to bring it up a 2nd time and use [Pg Up] or [Pg Dn] to scroll through it,

I believe your death amount is listed quite close to the top of the list.

[fossil delta]

Ah, that second time is why it never worked for me.

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 yet?

If so, be a bit patient as it might take some time before someone shows up.
Especially given the time in Europe right now.

So there's no need to post the same message multiple times at different times.

[cedar stump]

ah damn its not even showing theres too much text

[pliant hatch]

You need to open chat a 2nd time, then scroll up.

[cedar stump]

it stops at leather armor

[tropic scarab]

Ya definitely I just figured I’d ask I’m just getting bored haha I’m working on the biggest build I’ve ever seen on this game and it’s been a project for a few months just real want to see the tower done

[fossil delta]

Fortunately for me, now a days, after many, many hours of playing Valheim. I don't need to check anymore. Deaths=zero.

[pliant hatch]

Well, spamming in multiple channels isn't a good idea.

[cedar stump]

I really wanted to see how many I had shame

[tropic scarab]

Not really spamming only texted once in each channel and only texted in two channels and posted on the one that you told me

[cedar stump]

was at like 50 sword yday now 28 F

[fossil delta]

You can still count on your map. May be hard, depending on how close together they get, but you can at least get a close count.

[pliant hatch]

The moment you post it in multiple channels, it's called spamming.

[cedar stump]

ofc I got rid of all the markers I couldnt see my map otherwise xd

ive died AT least like 20+ times I think

[fossil delta]

Far more than that if your map gets that bad. 😄 😄

[cedar stump]

probably not as bad, but like in mistland I prolly already died as much as the other biomes or more lol

[tropic scarab]

Idk my guy I’ve never had a problem before I’ve been a part of this team for a couple years now and I’ve never had anyone say that to me or argue that’s wild

[tropic scarab]

I also have a few people that I used to play with that might see it as the only reason why I posted on a couple of channels (2)

[fossil delta]

Very possible. I died at least 10 times so far in Ashlands in my prior play through. Died 8 time the entire game before that. This time I have yet to die. So the Queen is the most likely time for that to happen. Then back into the Ashlands again.

[cedar stump]

just in the first 30minute I think ive died to trees like 2-3 times 😆

[fossil delta]

When I first started playing I died to trees, boar, campfire smoke, you name it, I probably died that way.

I didn't really stop dying until I tried figuring out how to do Zero Death runs.

[tropic scarab]

I didn’t figure it out till I had the ask set😂

[fossil delta]

I haven't gotten that far into the game yet, in any play through. I really hate the Ashlands, so lose motivation pretty easily once I get into there.

[tropic scarab]

I definitely understand that I’m in the middle of one of the biggest builds that I’ve ever seen in this game and the amount of stone that I had to move from the Ashland into a brand new world is wild

If you wanna see it, it’s in the help channel

Or at least an aerial view

[fossil delta]

At least is easy to get that material from Ashlands. They destroy stuff all the time for you.

[tropic scarab]

It was a insane amount. The holes are so long that if you stand on one end, you can’t see the other, it doesn’t render in.

[tropic scarab]

I cleared an entire island with the troll staff

Halls*

[fossil delta]

Dang! Yeah, I looked at our video.

[tropic scarab]

Ya it’s crazy i can’t seem to be able to farm the metal every time I try I die, but I can get everything else basically

[fossil delta]

Can't you just do that free build command, and get unlimited mats for building?

[tropic scarab]

Ya but I was doing it lagit for the clout haha it’s been a project for a while

[fossil delta]

I get that. Did a build that took me and a buddy of mine I forget how many weeks to do a build, due to gathering the iron, etc... for it.

[tropic scarab]

It’s basically a museum it is gonna have every armor every weapon every shield all the carpets basically everything and a storage area that has at least one chest for every item in the game

[fossil delta]

So its my house.

[tropic scarab]

That that’s dope I’ve been added mostly solo for seven months

At it mostly solo for seven months*

[fossil delta]

Heh, if I did that build by myself, it may very well have taken me that long as well.

I destroyed entire mountains doing that build.

[cedar stump]

time to play some raft for the rest of the evening and chill now 😛

[tropic scarab]

Definitely that’s awesome 👏 I can’t wait to get the tower done once the tower is done then I can do everything solo again I just need help with collecting metal for the beams on the tower and same part of what I built on is bedrock I started in a small flat area and there was only hills around at the start so I carved everything out by myself and slowly farmed the growsten and brought it back it took forever to clear out the courtyards 😓 but everything went smoothly other then there’s a bound on the crop side in the dead center that’s bedrock and I can’t dig it down so I have no idea what to do with it other than maybe raise it up and build a building on it or something?

[fossil delta]

I'll have to play that some time. I've owned it for years now.

[fossil delta]

Flametal is used for building? Like iron is?

[tropic scarab]

Ya you can just go higher than iron can

[fossil delta]

I had not noticed that yet. Been too focused on gear, I guess.

[tropic scarab]

Ya it’s dope

[fossil delta]

As hard as it has been to get, I wouldn't use it for building anyways.

But its always hard early on in each biome. Maybe if I ever got all the gear, maxed it out, then I might use it.

But, as I mentioned earlier, since I hate Ashlands, I've quickly lost motivation to even go further every time.

Last time was my first time even making the new gear.

[tropic scarab]

I definitely understand that honestly I haven’t gotten good enough weapons to be able to take on anything hand hand so I haven’t been able to progress. I can only use my magic build, but my magic build won’t help me when I’m trying to build a ship to go to the next island And I can’t get better weapons because I can’t farm the metal by myself😂

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I haven't even found a fortress yet. So only get it from the dvergr or the lava islands that sink.

[pliant hatch]

Enjoy it!

I moved into Wartales for the same reason. Got an overload of Valheim for today.

[tropic scarab]

I’ve already taken down a fortress and that’s my Ashlands base. I just didn’t break the wall cleared it out and then put a portal inside of it with a shield in the center tower where the chest was.

[fossil delta]

My fortress' there are all built by me. Except for the part of the local buildings I integrated into my builds.

Because they have those vines on them, and they respawn that food item.

[tropic scarab]

Haha nice I honestly didn’t want to build anything because I knew it would just get destroyed or I’d be constantly repairing it so I just used portals until I took down a fortress and then turned the fortress into my base because I knew it would basically never get destroyed

[fossil delta]

My outer most walls are raised earth. Nothing gets past those, except the fliers. They are rare enough the repairs don't get overly irritating.

[tropic scarab]

The troll staff is the only reason I can last 5 minutes anymore haha

[fossil delta]

I stay pure melee. Never went into the Ashlands with a mage build.

[tropic scarab]

I have the ask set fully upgraded to level three and I have the magic set for the Ashlands fully upgraded to level three but my heavy armor is only level one

I really need to farm more but every time that I try to go out into the lava to farm the towers, I get hit by a rock or an arrow, as I’m jumping and get knocked into the lava every single time

[fossil delta]

Only Flametal piece I have above lvl 1 is my tower shield.

Yeah, I hate those lava bombs. Things just so happen to blast me into the lava, which is where I die. Did that to me twice last time.

[tropic scarab]

Right it sucks

[fossil delta]

It does. Place looks ugly, and your fighting all the time, outside of your fort. I pretty much hate everything about the place.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, that kinda happens when there's a constant war raging on and everything is burned to the ground.

Same thing happened in lots of countries over the past 21 centuries. The entire WW I trench front line is a very good example of it.

[tribal trench]

Welp..... 2 Star Bezerker is guarding some barley here....I got frost arrows, a huntsmans bow and a dream... Wish me luck

[fossil delta]

Oh please. I know about the wars. Listened to plenty of actual combat vets talk about at least 4 of them. Know what they talk about the most? The silences and the waiting. Especially the waiting.

[tribal trench]

Until you have acquired the Dyrnwyn Blade from the Ashlands your questing is not over. I have a feeling it will be very useful in the North

[shy marlin]

nah lol

Iti's 10 fire damage and you lose all utility the gem infused swords give

It's just bad, and if deep north focuses on smaller yet more grand encounters jades value and stock is increasing exponentially

[fossil delta]

Good to know. Never intended on doing that quest line anyways.

[tribal trench]

I ment that it was a sidequest worth taking on but your porbably correct about the combat effectivness of the sword

[shy marlin]

Oh word

[tribal trench]

I has great reach though

[shy marlin]

It certainly looks amazing

[tribal trench]

and doubles as a light source

[gray sand]

So does the only helmet that matters 😉

[tribal trench]

the one from the trader?

[gray sand]

😄

[tribal trench]

hehe

dang.... I just got clubbed to death lol 2 Star Bezerker is mean with this loadout on lol

[shy marlin]

bear set is so good man

[gray sand]

It can be 😁

[wintry valve]

bear set should have a woman version :V

[gray sand]

I am not taking it into the swamp given how much screen space that hat takes up inside of crypts.

[wintry valve]

take it into the swamp crypts

[crude prairie]

Anyone looking for active players?

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[crude prairie]

It's confusing for me

[gray sand]

?

Search through posts and reply to one that you want to join or make your own post and wait for people to message you.

[shy marlin]

🤔 i haven't noticed any issues with it

[gray sand]

It's friggin MASSIVE on my screen when indoors. 😭

[shy marlin]

are you a dvergr circlet gamer

[gray sand]

I am. But I tried out Bear armor because it was the new thing so I could form my opinion on it.

Part of my opinion on it is that the helmet is friggin massive.

[chrome badge]

The feet as well 😅

[neon steppe]

accidentally crafted 2nd black metal shield instead of upgrading my 1st one

great feeling, that's 5 chains gone

[echo crest]

That sucks

[neon steppe]

[gray sand]

Having a backup shield to help get your stuff back in an emergency is never a bad move tbh.

[neon steppe]

maybe, but i feel like lvl 4 silver shield would be sufficient enough

[echo crest]

It might be best to upgrade gear first, then make backup gear. So that making backup gear is easier

[neon steppe]

for a backup

[gray sand]

I usually skip silver shield 😬

Maxed out Iron Buckler is 100, maxed out Silver Shield is only 108.

So I just Bronze Buckler -> Iron Buckler -> Blackmetal.

-# Then there is Carapace Buckler that fits no stat curve in any universe whatsoever and is just overpowered without cause....

[shy marlin]

irongate doesn't do balance

[gray sand]

This isn't even balance... this is just numerical progression.
Like normal shields: Wood +18 = non-existent Bronze +18 = Iron +18 = Silver +18 = Blackmetal +18 = Carapace +18 = Flametal <- MAKES SENSE

Wood Tower Shield +22 = Bone +20 = Iron?? +22 = non-existent Silver +30 = Blackmetal?? +22 = non-existent Carapace +14 = Flametal?? <- Makes no sense.

Bronze Buckler +12 = Iron +12 = non-existent Silver +12 = non-existent Blackmetal +26 = Carapace?? <- Makes even less sense.

[untold sinew]

Especially because there are 3 bucklers in the game

[gray sand]

There being only 3 doesn't bother me. The fact Carapace is so far outside the bounds does.

[shy marlin]

yea so it's a balance issue ⚖️

This isn't even balance... this is just numerical progression. (These are the same)

[gray sand]

Balance is parrying having massive upsides with zero drawbacks, making it objectively superior to blocking.
This is just numbers not lining up.
I do not see these as the same.

[shy marlin]

do you know where the term balance comes from

literally refers to numerical values

[gray sand]

It comes from a teeter totter. 😏

[shy marlin]

Which has numerical values on both sides...

[gray sand]

Reducing children to numerical values? What are you... corporate America?

[shy marlin]

huh

[gray sand]

Children go on the aforemention playground contraption, you referred to them as "numerical values" 😄

[shy marlin]

It was in reference to the corporate america

[light snow]

Dont forget staff of protection = infinite

Balance!

[gray sand]

Magic is just OP, we all know that, lol.

[light snow]

Parry a 2 star seeker soldier with your first because you have a bubble !

[gray sand]

My only real beef with magic is that ice staff should gain accuracy with skill level.

[light snow]

Valid

[reef juniper]

bro my friend is revoknig our carts gravity whenever they drive it

I'm able to elevator myself upward and cancel it by tapping the drive button lol

[rugged urchin]

2 muddy scrap piles gave me 0 iron. IRON'T

[fluid cove]

i once hauled out a longship-full of iron scraps from just one crypt

[old flint]

I have succesfully outsourced cutting wood to my new lumberjack: Jack the troll

[rugged bridge]

He must be pretty Jacked to take on such a job

[old flint]

Oh, he was.

[compact gate]

Has more upside than downside imo, but there's definitely downsides to be a parry enjoyer.

[tepid prawn]

chains are plentiful if you live in swamp for a little while, swamp treehouse supremacy!

[heavy yoke]

Does anyone have the sheet notes for the medows song for solo piano?

[eager bough]

but to get a ghost trophy is not easy at all

[shy marlin]

[old flint]

how to get a pet rock?

[tacit crystal]

You need to find specific pickable rock from ground, at least 1000m from center and in 4 first biomes, although it has also certain altitude requirements, making it more possibly appear in meadows and black forest.

[rain steeple]

Lol Scales released a No hit run on ashlands. Dude has complated the game currently.

[smoky quarry]

been looking for years. None. They are a myth :p

[gray sand]

Easy to do now that dodging doesn't cost stamina

[tacit crystal]

They were added just half a year ago.

[smoky quarry]

been a long half a year

[rain steeple]

And here i am strugling with hardcore(No death) at mistlands.😅

[marble night]

Guys, hello, what channel should I use if I have suggestion for localization changes? suggestions or suggestion-discrussion?

[rain steeple]

iirc localization suggestion would be on the official web site Support/ Tl Errors

Other suggestion related stuff can be posted on suggestions and discustion of it would be on according channels

[languid elbow]

Anyone know when the deep north will be released? I thought it was supposed to be around this time of the year (according to an article I read earlier in the year)

[gray sand]

When it's ready.

[pliant hatch]

Only the Devs know.

And they won't tell us until it's done.

[languid elbow]

Ah. I wonder how that article came up with that then lol. It's why I hopped back into the game again after over a year off 😄

[tacit crystal]

Devs have announced no other new content updates this year anymore.

[languid elbow]

that's ok. Gives me time to play with the mods. Didn't want to start up a modded game if an update was right around the corner

[merry pebble]

Just guessing stuff i bet 🙂 unfortunately most of these articles or videos try to put these guesses as facts.

[languid elbow]

yeah, it definitely said in the end of this year (I forgot what month specifically)

[tacit crystal]

The latest update just came month ago, I'd say it's pretty good one to start a new run.

[tacit crystal]

Yep, don't take anyone else than Iron Gate's word as a fact. 👍

[stuck lake]

i have obtained the mistwalker

the demolisher and

full carapace armor plus carapace buckler

[pliant hatch]

Because there are lots of people calculating the time between the release of Mistlands and Ashlands, then add that to the release of Ashlands and think they "know" when the new content is going being released.
And when they "know" they also post it all over the internet.

[gray sand]

Imagine calculating time when we've proven that it is a relative, non-fixed unit of measurement 😏

[neon steppe]

roaming thru plains, im eating lox pies and bread, what u guys recommend for last food? eyescream is kinda expensive

i think i been using wolf jerky or wolf something but it gives HP instead of stamina 🙁

[gray sand]

Food sheet is pinned in this channel.
Configurations tab is what you're looking for.

[neon steppe]

oh damn there's alot in there

i been meaning to ask about world renaming, but there is the answer for that too!

[old flint]

I was randomly exploring ashlands and deciced to ring the bells at faders spawn. I didnt know my previously crafted bells would still be there.. and spawn it

[sly oyster]

its go time

[orchid locust]

it's always go time

[merry pebble]

But Its especially go time when Fader Is concerned 😄

[stuck lake]

stupid freaking bugs in mistlands

[pliant hatch]

Tell me about it. Got killed when they respawned in an infested mine. And with all blockades open I got overrun. 🙁 Not fun when playing on normal, certainly not fun when playing on hard and not being able to dodge roll.

Been 6 months or so since I posted screenshots, but my main base is finally starting to come together now I got access to Black Marbe.

All that's needed now is access to Grausten with the character I play on that map. Don't want to import it with another character that made it to the Ashlands.

#building-screenshots message

[sly oyster]

untamed wolf can climb an 86 degree incline

tamed wolf cant even go up a wheelchair ramp without getting stuck

[neon steppe]

wow, 2 star fuling berserker 1 shot me

🫣

[gray sand]

Food?

[neon steppe]

yeah and full HP and paded armor

[gray sand]

May I ask which specific foods?

[neon steppe]

does the mage shield give him boost in dmg or something

[pliant hatch]

Normal difficulty?

[gray sand]

Shields are just shields.

[neon steppe]

it was the big hit tho

[gray sand]

-# Yes but which foods 😭

[neon steppe]

bread, lox pie and wolf jerky

[gray sand]

Jerky is not good so there is that, one moment.

[neon steppe]

i've never seen 2 star berserker before wasn't expecting him to hit so hard

i dodged deathsquito rright into his attack lol

[gray sand]

You have 156 HP and the 2 star hits for 260 😬

[pliant hatch]

Using the mountain feast would give you more HP and stam as the Wolf Jerky would

[gray sand]

Jerky is just bad tbh.

It used to be "bad unless walking around base" but then they added Feasts and now it is just bad.

[neon steppe]

i have like 50 serpent meat, i should probably do some serpent stews

i forgot i had them in my ship 😭

[pliant hatch]

If you don't mind fishing than replace the bread for Fishwraps as well.

[gray sand]

Like Cooked Deer Meat, normal, without making it into any type of meal, has more HP than Wolf Jerky.

If you have the Serpent Stew the top HHS config in Plains is that + Lox Pie + Blood Pudding.
Bread in place of Pudding will drop you 2 HP and 5 Stamina.

[tacit crystal]

2 star deals double the damage non star variant deals.

[nocturne wolf]

With how armor works in Valheim, you'll take more than double damage from a 2-star enemy compared to the same attack from 0-star as your armor increases, so 2-star enemies are much stronger later in the game
This is also why blocking can feel so weak on high difficulties and against late-game starred enemies

[gray sand]

So what I'm hearing is... have the cheapest armor possible 😏

[pine fable]

Issit a good idea to try build a base in the mistlands? 💔

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[tacit crystal]

Might be dangerous to have main base there, but at least farming outpost is good idea for the regular source of jotun puffs and magecaps.

Although you can build a safe island base even in Mistlands if you ever find such island.

[gray sand]

I like it when a Mistlands has a Mountain in it so you can build a base right above that line.

[river forge]

Make a demolisher and they are nothing

except the seeker soldiers

[stuck lake]

i got the demolisher

its the seekers

[river forge]

use the heavy attack

[stuck lake]

theres a heavy attack on it?

[river forge]

it stuns them

middle mouse

[nocturne wolf]

Sledgehammers only have a primary attack, no secondary

[stuck lake]

yeah cause i checked when i got it

[river forge]

I'm sure it had a heavy attack

maybe it was just the primary

[tacit crystal]

Yes, the only attack they have.

[nocturne wolf]

No weapons have a heavy attack

[river forge]

It should stun the seekers, they get staggered

[pine fable]

I may just put a portal down by some Yggdrasil root’s and farm underneath them then, its just not aesthetically pleasing but oh well 💔

[merry pebble]

You sure you don't confuse it with battle axes?

[river forge]

I remember demolisher making me untouchable

[nocturne wolf]

It won't always, with skill level and damage variance it might take multiple hits

[tacit crystal]

Sledgehammers have 2x stagger multiplier, so they can possibly stagger them easier.

[river forge]

soldiers though seem to not care

[nocturne wolf]

They have much higher max health so they need more damage to stagger

[eager bough]

The Galial or however you spell it seem to always seal me out and set me a blaze when I am trying to farm in must land.

[river forge]

I've always killed them before staggering, they are absolute units

[eager bough]

Then the blood sucking monsters come for their precooked meal to finish me off. I dance like a chicken on a hot plate trying to knock them off.

[tacit crystal]

You can do dodge roll to get them detached from you.

[eager bough]

Yeap , got that my fingers just a bit slow from time to time.

[stuck lake]

mistwalker so peak

[nocturne wolf]

Porcupine secondary on their weak point staggers them easily

[pliant hatch]

The best way to deal with ticks for me is trying to use them to hit a homerun with the Porcupine.

[fossil delta]

Its doable. I did it twice. I just don't find its worth the effort when you can just take over existing towers and use them instead. You can expand on them all you want.

[pliant hatch]

But that's because Dodgerolling is causing problems for me, as a lefty

[stuck lake]

the seekers have weak points?

[pliant hatch]

Yup, their abdomen

Being the reddish spot at their back

[stuck lake]

how do i like specifically target that if they are always facing me

[nocturne wolf]

Seeker soldiers (not normal seekers) are weak to most damage types on their back. Their groundslam attack has 0% turnspeed so it's a good opportunity to hit, but jumping over the other attacks to reach their back can work too.

[stuck lake]

they attack so quick i can barely get hits in half the time

[fossil delta]

Seekers are one of the mobs I just do my wife's "savage aggression" on. They die pretty fast, even the 1 stars.

[stuck lake]

i hate how much iron i need to upgrade all my stuff tho

ive already used like 60

[eager bough]

I normally am the bait and wife picks them off with bow . I try to shield up as she pelts them

But that is how we work most things

[fossil delta]

We do things like that with the 2 star and the 2 star soldiers. On one stars and normals we just get them between us and pummel it. They often just turn between us trying to decide who to attack. Without attacking.

[fossil delta]

You in the Mistlands? If so tear down the bridges. You get iron bars, so no coal needed, and after a bridge or two, you should be fine on iron.

[stuck lake]

what bridges

[eager bough]

huge ones in mystlands

[stuck lake]

do u mean the ancient armor

ive seen lots of that

[fossil delta]

The ones you can hopefully find. They tend to be on or near water.

[maiden ridge]

hello guys i havent played this game since March, has there been any major performance update?

[fossil delta]

You can do armor and swords as well, but those need smelted in addition to breaking them down.

[stuck lake]

ohhhh

[rotund isle]

who wants to play valheim, license? we can play teams, im russian but b1 in english, who wants to play text

[fossil delta]

Plus with bridges you get a lot of the marble, so if you also like to build, bridges are all around better.

[stuck lake]

alr

[pliant hatch]

I'm certain there's someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 who might

[eager bough]

as well isn't marble a bit more structurally sound building material?

[fossil delta]

To make bridges as easy as possible, you need mats for a stone cutter and forge. IE the copper.

[stuck lake]

why do i need those workbenches

[rotund isle]

I used to play on the pirated version, and now I have 0 hours on Steam. I don't have any characters from the pirated version, so I have experience, but I don't have any items.

[fossil delta]

Because then you can rapidly break everything down with your hammer.

[stuck lake]

ohhhh

[fossil delta]

Kind of important when your noise can draw insects. I often don't have to fight anything.

You still have to wait for the higher up stuff to break apart and fall, but you can portal away during that time frame.

[wintry valve]

So I started a new game, and I decided to use a ruined tower in the black forest for my outpost. Turns out it was super close to there a one star bear lived. I am happy to announce that the bear is no more.

Now if someone asks if im going to make the bear set. The answer is no. I do not have the head part yet.

[gray sand]

Haldor has one for everybody!

[fossil delta]

Yeah that trophy can be hard to get. Probably easier to just kill trolls. 😄

[pliant hatch]

-# As long as it's a new world, that is.

[wintry valve]

Troll is what I am wearing now

[gray sand]

True.

[fossil delta]

Gotta find Haldor first. So which comes first, trophy drop, or finding Haldor? Hmmmm....

[fossil delta]

Then personally, I wouldn't worry about the bear armor.

[empty nest]

Is fishing worth it?

[wintry valve]

If you go all in with fishing, you can get a hat that makes you better at fishing

So, obviously yes

[long locust]

meh, it's more just a thing to do on the side for fun, kinda like trophy hunting

[empty nest]

I mean time it takes to food you can make is it a big bonus?

[gray sand]

Worth is subjecthive to the individual.

[long locust]

nah, ever since cooked fish was locked behind the food prep table it's been fairly mediocre

used to be obtainable earlier, and it was a good boost then

[gray sand]

Fish wraps - good.
FishNBread - good.
Troll weight mead - good.

[tacit crystal]

Bear chest and legs part with troll hood and you look like Skeletor from He-Man.

[long locust]

but when you get to swamp, fish ends up being pretty bad as a food on its own

[long locust]

yep, it's used in much later recipes that are fairly good, but there are also usually more easily obtainable alternatives

fishing has some nice stuff you can get, but it's not really a necessary thing. if you like fishing then go fish, if you don't you can ignore it

[wintry valve]

More seriously, some fish can be used to produce special unique potions. So its usefulness is entirely based on if you want to use them potions.

Magic fish beer

[tacit crystal]

Troll endurance mead can be acquired quite early if you find Bog witch.

Also ocean feast requires cooked fish.

[long locust]

yeah, I'm ngl I forgot about some of those potions, but they are probably my main reason for fishing

[long locust]

true, but tbh I kinda just grab fish when they end up beached and that's usually enough to make a couple serpent platters

kinda wish we could go spear fishing with the harpoon

[tacit crystal]

They sometimes tend be like that, not for me at least during few of my latest runs tho.

[long locust]

bog witch has not been nice to me on this playthrough

swamps in general haven't been very nice, had to go through like three to find a single crypt

need to get myself a buckler so I can start parrying these draugr
