or tubas to find your bed

[foggy glacier]

I've learned in ML not to talk to Hugin when he shows me a skull or a mine. That 'Poof' is a much better indicator of them than ticks or seekers.

[neon steppe]

and found one instantly! spotting spikes worked 😛

there is also abandoned tower full of seekers next to it, might even be 2 infested mines inside 10m area 🙂

[fathom gulch]

Are there any maps that have very little ocean?

[lament badge]

Why cant I find any silver in the snow biome like what the?

I have the wishbone

[fathom gulch]

Did you equip the bone?

[lament badge]

Yes

[gray sand]

Is there Obsidian on the mountain in question?

[fathom gulch]

Do you wish the bone would work better?

[lament badge]

Barley saw obsidian like 1 time

Do I have to be on a snow area with moder or sum?

[gray sand]

Then your mountain probably has no silver.
It spawns higher than obsidian does.

[lament badge]

Holy shit so 2 of my mountains have 0 silver

[gray sand]

Happens.

[lament badge]

This is the first for me

[fathom gulch]

Are those the only 2 you have discovered so far on this map?

[lament badge]

Nah like 3 but I figured I would find silver on the first

[gray sand]

Once you know about the Obisidian rule you save a lot of time by not wasting effort on short mountains.

[lament badge]

200 hours later I find out 🙁

[fathom gulch]

I didn’t know this either

I have recently made it to the mountains for the first time

[lunar sapphire]

Welcome to the mountains. The golems will guide you

[lament badge]

Bro farming golems for the shard to make glass

[gray sand]

Caves are a better source tbh.

[fathom gulch]

I am having fun parrying the golems

[lament badge]

Yeah

[hearty niche]

lol 3000+ hours into the game and we've had the funniest moment...

New server. We build a small town next to the Black Forest for mining conveience. We're rocking flint spears and the like.

Our first journey into the forest, we stumble on a 2 star bear ("Boy that tree-stump sure is funny looking... shit... run run run run!") which chased us out of the woods after mauling 3 vikings to death. Said 3 vikings made several attempts at retrieving their bodies and each time they fell victim to this demon bear. 2 of the original 3 headstones are still there along with a veritable cemetary of bodies with flint weapons.

It gets worse. The damned thing started roaming into our village! It was like a horror movie, you just heard your buddy getting mauled by the bear and there was nothing you could do. We were laughing so hard as this blasted bear wreaked absolute havoc on our tiny viking society. We eventually relocated.

[fossil delta]

I have yet to run into a 2 star, only 1 stars. Of course, now it would be easy for me to fight it with my current gear. Maybe my next play through... Still, thats a great story. Definitely something to remember.

[civic stirrup]

I think they only spawn at night

[civic stirrup]

Thats his village now

[knotty fractal]

I was wondering, is there any way to see how many hours you have played valheim on Xbox?

[neon steppe]

dont own xbox but if you haven't deleted saves you can see what day it is for every save and count how many hours you have played yourself

each full day night cycle 30min

[tepid prawn]

Very fun with a silver shield and a iron mace, loving it.

[oak cedar]

On your player card, you can see how many hours you played. It’s under your Xbox name. I think under achievements.

[gray sand]

YES. Draugr elite trophy!

[reef juniper]

Any particular benefit to using heavy bait? Like do the tuna or coral cod that are caught using it give any additional raw fish when converted on the preparation table?

[gray sand]

Each bait has a fish type that it catches.

[reef juniper]

Yes but is there any benefit to using the heavy bait and catching those fish?

[gray sand]

Afaik you cannot catch them without it?

[reef juniper]

no no

I'm saying what point is there in catching those fish if other fish convert into the same amount of food

[gray sand]

Trophies? Achievement? Hat?

[reef juniper]

Converting fish into raw fish is the primary point of them yeah?

I just wanna know if these super rare fish are only useful for catching a few times then never again

[lunar sapphire]

Pufferfish can be used in mob farms ❤️

[reef juniper]

Mob farms is not a term I'd thought I'd hear in Valheim

[tepid prawn]

trollfish makes an amazing mead, anglerfish an amazing food

[fossil delta]

They do, Refer to the wiki for the breakdown, but generally speaking the tougher the biome the higher the base pieces of fish you get. So base of 1, 2, 3, 4, and maybe even higher. Again, check the wiki for specifics. If I could, I'd link it.

Looks like 3 is actually the highest baseline.

For: Type: Pufferfish, Angler Fish, Magma Fish, Northern Salmon

[civic stirrup]

I hadn't even thought of that

[reef juniper]

Holy fuck fishing in this game is abysmal

No direction on how to do it whatsoever and apparently I need to be running as much stamina as I possibly can to even catch one fish

[gray sand]

🤔

Fishing in this game is better than some other games and quite simple.

[civic stirrup]

ligit

[reef juniper]

Having to physically pull them onto land like I'm using a harpoon while they drain my stamina more or less for no visually apparent reason whenever they'd like doesn't seem simple to me

[gray sand]

The only mechanics are "click to hook, hold to reel" -- very simple compared to other games.
And the stamina drain drops quite well with levels.

[merry pebble]

They drain stamina more or less depending on the direction the fish Is swimming 🙂

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it gets better as you level it. Works fine for the first two biomes once you hit 20 or so. Considering you can level up pretty quickly just casting and reeling in, you get to 20 pretty quickly.

Use feasts for fishing. I do 2 feasts plus a stamina food. The best one I have at the time.

Good HP in case I have to fight, good stamina for catching fish.

[sudden musk]

Who has a bunch of surplus soft tissue that a friend could join in and take back to their server. Asking for a friend🫣🤣

[gray sand]

Just spawn your own after you're finished cross-posting in multiple channels...

[sudden musk]

I was mainly just joking lol thought it would be funny. I’ve had an extremely difficult time finding any petrified skulls

Is spawning it actually a thing? I’m relatively new to the game on my first play though. Just joined this sever a few days ago

[gray sand]

Yes.

[sudden musk]

I’m unfamiliar with the concept of “spawning it” can you do it without mods

[gray sand]

devcommands if you enable them.

[sudden musk]

Can that be done in a dedicated server? Sorry for the noobish questions but like I said I’m pretty new

[gray sand]

No, but you can go into a non-dedicated world, spawn stuff, pick it up, then take it to your dedicated one.

[sudden musk]

Ahhhh ok smart

I will be doing this tomorrow, thank you much for the advice

[gray sand]

No worries.

[wintry valve]

do meads come into "conflict" with each others?

like does a healing mead prevents me from using a stamina mead?

nvm the wiki answered me

[worldly chasm]

I hope they make it possible to remove the changelog in the home screen, its kinda annoying

[frank saddle]

Hi!

I just got the game and IDK what to do, need some people to play and learn with!

[tacit crystal]

You can follow the instructions of the bird at the start.
If you're looking for people to play with, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 is the right channel for that. 👍

[frank saddle]

Oh cool thanks!

[ebon oyster]

Pick up everything that looks new. Sticks, rocks, mushrooms, berries. Kill anything that moves. Walk around and see what there is to see.

Make sure to always eat as much food as you can. Always build new stuff to see what it is/does.

Try not to die because it lowers your skill points a lot lol.

[steel mica]

The general...
WASD to walk
Space to jump
M1 to MURDE- I mean attack
M2 for blocking
Middle mouse for special attack
E to interact

Good luck have fun in the world of valheim :))

[frank saddle]

It's bad to play on controller yeah

Also man finding a beach is tough

That's what I wanna build my house on

[steel mica]

You should get the hands on it

[vivid moss]

Rahhh!

[frank saddle]

It is kinda slow with the controller ;-;

Especially the inventory

[steel mica]

Yeah I feel you its a bit sluggish

this is from experience playing the PSP

[silk token]

just check that your server doesn’t have any rules against cheating

[crude saddle]

It took me 4 mountains to find silver, and even there there wasn't that much

[cedar stump]

goooood mornin

[crude saddle]

One mountain I found looking for Moder quintupled the amount of silver deposits I knew of

Good evening

[cedar stump]

how we doing? starting to feel better after having the flu on thursday was a nice chill gaming of raft, tonight gotta go and recover back our bodies in the mistland 🙁

[crude saddle]

The mistlands do be spooky, currently I'm returning from another iron run

[cedar stump]

I really hate that zone gjall are scary, hell those seekers also hurts 🙁

[crude saddle]

.... 30 scrap iron just phased through the map :/

[foggy glacier]

was it in the dungeon or on the ground?

[crude saddle]

The ground, I threw it down to be not overencumbered

[foggy glacier]

ooh, darn.

[merry pebble]

It should eventually come back to surface 🙂

[crude saddle]

I sure hope so

[cedar stump]

Maybe after we recover our armor ill max upgrade padded armor to help abit

[tacit crystal]

I don't recall but did you have fire barley with you when encountering gjalls?

[cedar stump]

yeah, currently using black metal sword/shield level 3 with a level 3 silver sword and padded armor 2.

We got past and killed the gjall near the shore but then we carelessly scouted alot of the island to try and find a mine and died pretty far from our portal from a 2star seeker.

[rugged mango]

The stamina in this games makes me wanna punch my monitor ngl.

These dudes are vikings but have stamina like a 90 year old granny with asthma.

[warped flower]

get better food

[serene hollow]

Frostner will make the mistlands way easier. The slow effect makes the 1 and 2 star seekers and soldiers much easier to deal with. Just circle strafe as you hit them, and they can't really touch you.

[rugged mango]

I already have the best food available to me.

[warped flower]

what is your stamina bar?

[rugged mango]

226

[warped flower]

damn you're having problems with that? skill issue

[serene hollow]

Hardest part to learn is to not sprint everywhere. Run normally and have a full stamina bar when you enter a fight. Makes a huge difference. I see so many people sprint into combat and have 30% stamina or less when they get there, swing 3 times and be out of stamina, then they can't block or roll and get mashed.

[cedar stump]

doesnt help I instantly go into running mode when I fight them since im not used to them yet and then I try to block/parry and miss the timing and they chunk me for like 50s or something. Been thinking about a frostner or porcupine or something.

[warped flower]

you can also walk in most combat situations

[serene hollow]

Also don't run from the seekers they are hard to outrun because they fly. Better to circle normally and fight, don't sprint but in real short bursts when needed to avoid a hit. I will admit if you get into a fight with 3 or more seekers and you do not have an atgeir or something for AOE it is pretty hairy at times.

[rugged mango]

Running/Jumping just uses up way too much stamina. I can't even get through the Mistlands without stopping ever 30 m.

[serene hollow]

Make both potions that help. The ratatosk for 15% movement speed (offsets your armor slow down if you are wearing padded) and the jumping one, can't remember the name. Both of those help with the mistlands a lot. The running one lasts for like 10 mins too, it is nice.

[cedar stump]

Ill be way overprepared for next time the only issue is getting back to our gear naked haha

didnt know about lightfoot mead to traverse the area much smoother

when we got caught by those seekers and that 2 star we both werent rested anymore, food buff about to run out was dumb 😛

[silk token]

thats what you call a deserved death

[cedar stump]

yeaaaah we havnet played in like a week now because we arent down for that big recovery mission xd

[silk token]

yeah, that’s tough, I get how that could be discouraging. If it makes or breaks whether you play the game, maybe very easy death mode where you keep the gear equipped would be your style? then you just need to get new food and fight back to whatever you had in your inventory.

[cedar stump]

https://imgur.com/a/T6VICbZ gotta run from our portal near all my deaths to the left all the way to that 218d death up north

[silk token]

it’s by the coast, maybe take the portal with karve materials and sail around, then you can scout the island from the water and it won’t feel like a waste of time, sometimes there’s structures along the water you can see and hit later

[cedar stump]

I feel kinda dumb but YES that sounds waaaay smarter

we could just equip our old silver and make that short run to get our gear back and back to boat

[silk token]

if it were me, if you had backup gear, I’d make it a rabbit hunting trip and just hunt along the way to my body. But I feel like there’s a high chance you just die in your back up gear lol so yeah going by sea would probably be smartest. Bring portal materials if you don’t want to sail back

Maybe bring stone and wood for a campfire so you don’t have to do it unrested when you get there, and also don’t have to bang rock and alert everything nearby

[cedar stump]

and then no more being careless and starting to feel 'confortable' in there always just to end up getting caught by surprise haha

I also never thought of always bringing wood and stones to re-apply rested, wouldve been nice in the swamps.

[silk token]

It’s pretty necessary, you also gain skills faster when you’re rested

I play no portal so I’ve done a lot of thinking ahead and planning lol

[cedar stump]

props for no portals, been watching alot of hardcore no map/portal runs and high raid frequency this stuff is crazy.

[silk token]

I do “more” raids, I tried it maxed out, but it was just like “again?…” It became less fun and repetitive

But “more “is just enough that it feels dangerous and impending

[pine fable]

Why’re beehive’s so hard to come by 😮‍💨

Buh day 385 and my biggest struggle is honey

[cedar stump]

we got 4 hives in our first 5 days, ive started putting it in the obliterator haha

[merry pebble]

Yeah, as many things it depends on rng how many you get, tho you can help it a bit if you know where and for what to look 🙂

[vague bramble]

Bees are plentifull, you just dont explore enough probably 🙂 .. or super unlucky

[coarse gust]

Just to be sure... You are taking the queen and making your own hives?

[pine fable]

I think im super unlucky

[pine fable]

Yes

[vague bramble]

Just sail to some new meadows and run around for a day or two, you should find few

[pine fable]

Ive taken a couple queen bee’s from my previou’s playthrough 😮‍💨

[neon steppe]

fenris set + ratatosk and run thru meadows looking for huts

or any building, i've found many beehives from daugr villages

[cedar stump]

draugr.... village? huh 😮

[neon steppe]

i don't know if they are called that officially, that's what i call them 😄

[vague bramble]

Everybody calls them that, even if not official name 😄

[neon steppe]

but you can run into them in meadows

my base is right next to 2 daugr villages and skeleton arena 👀

[cedar stump]

oh wow didnt know that was a thing

[pine fable]

Ive been doing thatt

[neon steppe]

now im not always alone!

[cedar stump]

draugr in the meadows must be quite a surprise if someones not expecting that and is new xd?

[vague bramble]

i think they have some rule to spawn some distance away from starting location

[merry pebble]

Yep, 2000m from centre at least 😄 so you dont really run into them too early when you are new player usually

[cedar stump]

ah fair, wonder if I missed other stuff like that.

[tacit crystal]

Yes, they are also quite rare, iirc 15 ish in each world.

[neon steppe]

i got 4 right next to each other

well.. "right next".. but in same meadows

actually 5, lol

[vague bramble]

yeah, loaded up random seed in valheim map viewer and most of them are on one side of map.. in several groups.. they are not spread evenly

[neon steppe]

i've pretty much only explored south-west from spawn and i've marked 10 villages on my map

so seems like it

[mint shadow]

I have explored about 35-40%of my world (day 780) and I only got 5 bees. So I know how it feels

[hearty niche]

You can swim almost as fast as a Karve with the Fins of Destiny + Vanadir + Ratatosk combo. And using zero stamina.

You'd just have to get some blocks along the way to sustain the Fins of Destiny power.

[nocturne wolf]

If two people are swimming they can punch each other

But that would cost stamina

[vague bramble]

If you want to know how bad (or not) you are at exploring, that valheim map viewer (google it, first and pretty much only site) can show you beehives, but dont if you have stuff to spoil to yourself by accident .. You can set it to see only fog and only beehives

[neon steppe]

oh man there is 2 soldier seekers right at the door in infested mines, i can't get in 😄

once i go in, they hit me and push me back out !

and im dead

[pine fable]

Interesting

[merry pebble]

Get few bombs and every time you get it throw one, then wait few seconds before going back in and throwing another to let the poison do its thing 🙂

[pine fable]

hhhhhhhhhuhhhh sailing to the ashlands wish me luck 💔

Cant wait to die 0.1 seconds after landing my ship

[gray sand]

I believe in you.

[gaunt perch]

Normandy ahh landing ☠️

[cedar stump]

thats how our first swamp landing looked like xd tons of draugr showing up to greet us after setting workbench and portal, was my first time seeing abomination, they wrecked our portal and boat haha

[gray sand]

@merry pebble I am giving the battleaxe a fair trial this run because it has been a while.

[gaunt perch]

I’m barely starting the game and it’s already starting to sound like Vietnam

[cedar stump]

the first run is always super fun 😄

[silk token]

it's been quite viable on hard, considering ramping up to very hard when is top running around in blueberry paint

[vague bramble]

Battleaxe was always my favorite ... woodcutting tool

[cedar stump]

my reaction everytime I was met with a new monster, was priceless.

[gaunt perch]

Also is there a point to building a small base in a black forest biome?

[cedar stump]

now ive got nightmare with horn sounds, I wonder why!

[cedar stump]

I guess to be closest to chambers or copper vein

we only have our base in the meadows with mini-outpost with portals at different biomes.

[silk token]

good for bear and troll spawns, proximity to copper, core wood, lots of good reasons

[silk token]

what difficulty are you trying it on?

[gaunt perch]

Chambers seem to be a one and done type ordeal

[cedar stump]

yeah meant more to be closer to a couple of them or something to save the trip back to base to dump ur loot etc.

Im pretty bad at building so I keep it at a minimum while my buddy mostly do the building.

[silk token]

i think its basically fi you build in bf it's good to have meadows nearby and vice versa, otherwise its personal style preferenc and how much you like trolls and bears around. i loved this one base where i alway sheard a bear kiling skeletons when it respawned

so i could run out and try ot get its head

[cedar stump]

I love those treehouse base I see in videos

[gaunt perch]

I already built a factory in the meadows ☠️

[gray sand]

This is my vegetarian VH run 😂

[silk token]

ohh right. wellp gl lol

[pallid walrus]

What is the minimum gear to progress from Black Forest to swamp? Me and my boys got absolutely annihilated within 20 seconds

[gray sand]

Food is the most important stat in the game.
Gear is secondary to food.

[pallid walrus]

Oh yeah I’m not too familiar with what’s the best food

Pretty much using mushrooms deer meat and blueberries

[gray sand]

Food sheet is pinned in this channel. You want the Configuration tab.

[cedar stump]

serpent meat/stew is super good hp food early when you wanna start a biome

[pallid walrus]

Legend!!!

[gray sand]

Wrote it with a quick-reference tab for this exact reason 😁

And Scarlet pinned it because she's an awesome person 💛

[silk token]

poison resist mead, health food to have 100+ hp, should be fine if you press block sometimes

[pallid walrus]

Haven’t even made it to poison resistant stuff🥹

[gray sand]

It's working out so far.

Like my issue is still the first windup. But if you can get it off, you can stunlock entire groups.

[cedar stump]

you should have that mead unlocked tho, it all requires basic stuff to unlock

[pallid walrus]

Can you screenshot the food sheet thing and send to me? I’m on mobile I don’t see the pin for some reason

[gray sand]

Poison Resist mead is a BF-tier food item.

[gray sand]

I am also on mobile 🙃

[silk token]

definitely, and/or knock them out of range to hit you back. don't be afraid to learn the jump swing move i promise its super useful i knwo you have jump attacking but sometimse its dee only way

[gray sand]

And the sheet is way too big to screenshot give everything it contains 😂

[pallid walrus]

Oh okay

[silk token]

poison resist is just honey, neck tail, coal, and thistle, you can make it

[gray sand]

I am not an Italian plumber. I do not jump on my enemies. 😉

[pallid walrus]

Noted! Tyty

[silk token]

when those wolves come and surround you though...jump away and swing means they dont bite u 3 times first

[gray sand]

No. 😛

[pine fable]

Do bonemaw’s and other serpants have set spawn points?

[gray sand]

I think it is more of a spawn area.

[pine fable]

Okay

[silk token]

and spawn conditions, night and/or storms

[pine fable]

Mhm

[foggy glacier]

I believe it's one per chunk, then factor in the percentage and other conditions.

i.e. time since last, time of day, storms, etc.

[silk token]

man i have NEVER been THIS uninspired to build a perma base somewhere before... technically there's a spot in meadows right next to plains swamp and bf, close to clothing and trader, but its just like.... meh i cant describe it.

it's not far enough to be particularly close to mistlands or ashlands, and if i explore its just swamps and ashlands everywhere.

[fossil delta]

I'm thinking of trying something a bit different my next play through. A series of small bases rather than just a main one. I've kind of done this before, but I still have had a main base. Next time I will still have a main base in that its where I go to have my character sleep. Other than that, I will try to have 3 or 4 that I can go to for smelting and crafting, and just be more spread out across the map. This is to help with getting resources some where without having to do a ton of sailing to bring them all the way back to a main base in the center of the map. Obviously this will also mean I don't get to take ores and metal bars through portals, so a fully vanilla default game setting.

It should also help with taming, in that I will be more likely to be able to take starred animals to one of the further out bases, than I am to get them all back to a base near the center.

[silk token]

i kind of do little bases in each biome, or at least the ability to repair and smelt so i can do basic gear upgrades while i gather more. but a good base base is important to me where i have the bulk of my materials and cooking, crafting, brewing, etc

otherwise you're so spread out like well i gotta go to this base for carrots then back to the other base for copper then to teh swamp base for chains it's silly

[fossil delta]

You more or less do that anyways. If you have to take everything back to a main base. Just portals make doing that with most things easy. I will probably make my sleeping base also be my food prep base. Thats a lot of mats to be spreading out across several bases, when you only need it all at one. So I agree on that about foods. Just hauling ores and metals, and only those, to a main base at or near the center, gets to be a bit much. Ashlands is actually what is making me think to do this. Since I pretty much have to make a base there to process the metal, and tame the Askvins. So I may as well spread things out a bit for at least the plains and Mistlands too.

Thanks to portals I can jump between them in just a few seconds.

[silk token]

i think my main strat is really just dont build or gather so much that i cant take it with me or leave it behind, like there's no meadows base, i make a BF base by copper nodes, then i MAYBE make a perma base dependign on seeds or just a swamp iron farming/smelting base, and/or another base that's next to traders and plains and preferably a quick sail to mistlands

like currently i have a small BF base and i went straight to a spot by traders and plains, but it's just a gross spot im nowhere near good swamps or mistlands and not not that far south im entirely like this seed is sub-par and i dont want to play it lol... maybe im spoiled by good seeds or bored of the game idk

[fossil delta]

So it sounds like you do a series of small bases as needed by default. I've been making it necessary to take everything back to a single main base. So I am talking about no longer doing that, and spreading things out more.

So my "main" base will be where I worry about sleeping and making my foods, and whatever I need up until I go into swamps. Then from there, I'll just make a small base wherever its most convenient for me to sail to, to do the needed processing and crafting for those metals.

[gray sand]

@silk token first observation on battleaxe -- very good INDOORS because no MtP when hitting walls/scrap piles.

[fathom gulch]

Is breeding boars worth it?

[gray sand]

Worth is subjecthive to the individual.
Only you can make that decision.

[fossil delta]

Depends on how often you run around and just kill boars.

I don't bother in single player, or when playing with my wife. We kill plenty just running around.

[gray sand]

I bother in SP when I get to main base time. But prior to that I do not.

[silk token]

ive never found the need to breed them if i just kil them when i see them as i go i have stacks of unused hide

but if feeding them and breeding them is super fun it's not a waste of time

[fossil delta]

I've only ever had a need to do it on servers with more than just my wife and I. Mostly, because most people, don't have the time to just be running around hunting. Its more time saving to set up breeding.

[maiden ridge]

what is main base time for you

[gray sand]

Mistlands. Black Marble my beloved.

[fossil delta]

Black marble does seem to be markedly tougher than just stone. I have the same problem with it as I do stone, too much of the same look. All black is just as ugly to me as all white. Monotonous.

[gray sand]

I am a simple man.

[fossil delta]

Fortunately there are ways to break that up, but it just adds to how much mats you need to make a place look good.

Thats probably a big part of why I usually do only one main base. Even with all my free time to play games, I don't want to be spending it making base after base after base look appealing to me.

[silk token]

thats one fun thing about smaller bases, i find myself experimenting with different styles or making use of existing ruins and things to influence my building so i make new things and things thath arent too huge or time consuming

the problem with the current seed is that the "best" place to build has uninspiring weird terrain that's too low and too high and surrounded by gurgling deformed toads

[fossil delta]

I want to see these gurgling deformed toads. They sound interesting. 😄 😄

[silk token]

ive killed most of them but they keep coming back

hm maybe im thinking about this wrong, maybe the answer is a plains base next to meadows not a meadows base next to plains... but im on hard and wearing blueberries...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, spawn proofing areas can get tedious, and give the game enough time, they destroy it all if it isn't behind walls.

[silk token]

its also hard to leave my first base, i accidentally made it so dang cute and the spot is great

[fossil delta]

Blueberries don't help make it easy. When I do go into the plains, I do it in bronze, and after I have it all at max lvl, which is usually lvl 3. Thats just for default settings. Not sure how I would handle it on a harder setting.

[neon steppe]

i have the worst luck with infested mines, another one with 0 cores

[silk token]

that was me last seed

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have had 4 or 5 mines like that this play through.

We still have plenty of cores now, but it took a bit longer than usual.

Which is fine, I just look at it as building up more mats for going into the Ashlands.

Considering how thats so much fighting, etc... you burn through arrows, meads and foods more than any previous biome has.

People who think Mistlands is hard, you ain't seen nothing yet.

[cedar stump]

😱

[fossil delta]

In Ashlands, even the land hates you.

[cedar stump]

it cant be worse than traversing mistland tho and that visiblity... 🙁

[neon steppe]

mistland is more about being annoying than hard i think 😄

[cedar stump]

Im struggling in the mistland hmmkay 😭

well me and the mistland had a bad start and well now im naked

[fossil delta]

Visibility is still limited in Ashlands, just not nearly as much as Mistlands. But the sky is anything but clear.

[neon steppe]

can't see and terrain is annoying you gotta be jumping all the time

[fossil delta]

You only think the terrain in Mistlands is annoying, In Ashlands parts of it kills you, quickly.

[neon steppe]

i do well in mistlands for like hours and then i die 1 time and instantly die 4 more times for some reason

in my map there is death markers, they are like 50-100 days apart but then there is like 3-4 markers at the same spot 😄

day 250, day 250, day 251

[cedar stump]

was instantly welcomed by gjall in our little outpost when we first reached mistland it only went downhill from there xd

[fossil delta]

I had lava bombs hit me twice, and the explosion tossed me into the lava, where I died in just seconds. No chance or time to get back out.

[cedar stump]

tired of waiting for my buddy to get our corpse back so I kinda went and looked at content/stuff I havent seen, Queen fight looks kinda spicy, same for fader x)

[gray sand]

I just realized if I end up liking battleaxes it will be moot this run because I sort of have to switch to mage 🙁

[fossil delta]

The Queen is definitely a new kind of fight. Now I can fight her and not die, but it took some time to learn.

[cedar stump]

now I just want to properly do it! skimmed thru ashlands and queens on a game with cheats just to see it all

[fossil delta]

Seeing leads to understanding what you need to know and do, so you should get "there" faster now.

We still have a lot to figure out about Ashlands to really "master" it.

But thats the fun part for us.

[cedar stump]

that looks like a very rough area hazard wise

really thought I was seeing sea serpent over there hahaha

[neon steppe]

i keep forgetting magic exists 😄 i gotta try it today

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they put a lot of effort into making Ashlands an ordeal. All the other biomes seem like cake walks in comparison.

[fathom gulch]

Do you all bury workbenches for spawn proofing and to prevent despawning?

[fossil delta]

I use camp fires. The grass alone hides them once the fire goes out.

[foggy glacier]

cheaper and easier to just put down a campfire.

[cedar stump]

How's the sustain for magic btw? Do you still bring melee weapons?

[fathom gulch]

Camp fires don’t have as great of a radius though right?

[fossil delta]

Your a paper tiger as far as melee goes as a mage.

[foggy glacier]

I usually bring a hybrid setup.

[fossil delta]

ITs the same as a non upgraded bench.

[cedar stump]

Ig u could swap to a bow instead

[fathom gulch]

Interesting

[cedar stump]

We just need the cores to start unlocking mage so I've been curious

[foggy glacier]

unless you have decent blood magic skill. The bubble is a beast near the top.

[fossil delta]

Cores, flesh, sap, yeah, takes a bit, but you have to do it for the gear too, so...

[cedar stump]

got all that minus the goddamn cores thats why we pushed carelessly into the mistland to find a mine

we probably missed some of them tho tbh

[fossil delta]

It takes an awful lot to level that up, The way that XP works seems a bit crazy to me.

[fossil delta]

The mines are not common. My wife and I meticulously search the Mistlands. They are just few and far between compared to other things. Skulls are about the same, but other than those...

[cedar stump]

Usually if theres a blue lantern and no Dvergr nearby, means MAYBE theres a mine around right?

[foggy glacier]

True. I afk with some skeletts at my draugr spawner.

[fossil delta]

No. They are more often those lone Dvergr with their little light tower.

[cedar stump]

they seem easy to miss sometimes, I mean I dont really know what im looking for as well.

even with a boss marker on my cheated game I had issues finding the Queen 'citadel/mine' entrance xd

[fossil delta]

For maybe an easier comparison, we probably find 4 to 6 occupied Dvergr towers and mining/excavating sites, to each mine we find.

[neon steppe]

can't find the cores so i just destroyed my black forge and took cores from it for eitr refinery 🧠

after i've processed all my sap and soft tissue i destroy it and build black forge back 😄

[fossil delta]

One thing to look for, if you can even see them through the mists, is 3 of those sharp, tall, rock formations. But you can so rarely even see them, its not really much help.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I do that until we have 15, for all 3 things.

So once you have 5, your in business, so to speak.

[cedar stump]

oh dang you need 15 of those things, surely we died close to a mine! surely that 2 star seeker was guarding some mine entrance

[fossil delta]

Starred seekers do tend to be near them, but the real clue is if you run into more than 2 at a time.

[cedar stump]

was only a 2 star with a no star seeker

[fossil delta]

If your attacked by 3 or more, something is near by. Likely a mine.

[cedar stump]

well with those heads up, tomorrow when we go recover our gear by sailing to a closer shore to our body, surely all goes well 😄

[fossil delta]

It should go better. You've learned good lessons to help you do better.

[cedar stump]

can never truly rest and be in peace in the mistland, I totally learned my lessons

[fossil delta]

You can, you just need to be in a fully repaired tower with some additional fortifications added, to be any where close to being safe.

[neon steppe]

uh, in middle of my screen, there was a number? what's that about

[fossil delta]

No idea, I am only used to seeing a number like that when I am using the target for target practice.

Unless you mean the 30 second warning for the next auto save.

Since that freezes your game for a second or two. Even on my PC.

[neon steppe]

could it be? it was in middle of my screen, kinda big number

weird, never seen it before. and im at base so nothing combat related

[fossil delta]

ITs the only number I recall seeing. Its typically 30 seconds before sunset and sunrise, in the game.

[neon steppe]

it was 5 or something tho

single digit number

[fossil delta]

Yeah, nothing comes to mind for something like that.

Doesn't mean much, I may just be so used to seeing it, it doesn't register with me.

[neon steppe]

ill try to get a screenshot if it happens again

[fossil delta]

That number looks like what pops up for hitting the Target. Your playing alone, aren't you?

[gray sand]

@shy marlin Bonemass down.

[neon steppe]

yes i play solo. i think i figured it out, it's the eitr refinery right, hitting me?

there is stuff shooting out from it

[gray sand]

Bronze pendant is nuts.

[tacit crystal]

Free Lingering stamina effect activation after gaining only 50 adrenaline, yes please. 🤌

[gray sand]

If I wasn't on VH where everything one-shots me, I would try the iron one that is a free health pot.

Bronze is probably BiS for bossfights though.

[cedar stump]

which one is bronze? been using that armor/heal one forever but those things never tend to proc that much since it requires high adren

[empty nest]

I keep racking my sack on these dam misketoes

[gray sand]

Go up 2 lines 🙂

[cedar stump]

time to check whats lingering stamina xd

[gray sand]

25% regen

[cedar stump]

I probably should look into other meads than regular healing/stamina 😛

[gray sand]

And once you proc it you have 60s to proc it again to keep it going. It is very generous.

[gray sand]

I am hoping you meant to say healing/Tasty.

[tacit crystal]

Many seem to overlook tasty.

[gray sand]

😭

It is tied for best mead in the game 😭

[empty nest]

The tasty one is crap?

[gray sand]

^ here's a person who doesn't understand how math works.

[cedar stump]

Just regular stamina... 😞

[gray sand]

😭 Is ok, now you know, and can experience the glory 💛

[cedar stump]

Always felt kinda meh like nice i get a decent amount of stam but then it's gone

[gray sand]

No cooldown + more stamina than regular pot + stacks with Lingering instead of being blocked by it.

[cedar stump]

I think it's you that also made me realise tasty is gooood

I should make that set with movespeed and zooooom around for berries/shroom

[gray sand]

movespeed set... don't remind me how much "fun" entering the mountains is about to be given I cannot make Frost Mead.. 🙁

[warm sandal]

so you play without any meads? I have not been around a lot lately so I know not what your are up to these days 😄

[cedar stump]

What's your progress at in the vegan run?

[gray sand]

No. Vegetarian run. Frost resist isn't allowed because BloodBag is an ingredient.

[gray sand]

On VH this time, just killed Bonemass.

[warm sandal]

Oh.. that is going to be hard... make sure you take enough wood to keep your fires stoked 😄

[gray sand]

When I did it on normal I didn't use fires. I just scout mountains from the base until I find a low cave and then I sprint through the damage. Goal is getting enough fenris hair for the chest piece and then I'm golden.

Swamp has the potential to be worse because no poison resist due to Neck Tail

[warm sandal]

sprint there if the drakes swoop in might just mean you won't make it there on VH

[warm sandal]

I usually do not need the poison resist so hard ... I make one batch usually and then end up not using any of it most of the time but that is on normal settings 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you have to shield that thing. Leave it going long enough and all your builds around it will start breaking from the damage. Iron or black marble are the best materials to close it in with.

[cedar stump]

Oh that's why my friend built a weird stone building for it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, while its processing eityr, AND for however long you leave the eityr globes laying there, it shoots out sparks that damages everything. You even have to repair your iron.

Black Marble might be immune to it, but its been a long time since I have used it.

[pine fable]

Havent died yet!, ive only gone about 20 meter’s inland tho ^^' i fear what await’s me there

[gray sand]

Mage or Viking?

[main jungle]

random question but if a 2 star boar is killed by a skeleton lol on spawning location does another spawn at some point or am i SOL for finding another one. I am near the boar rune. I see conflicting info on forums

[pine fable]

I havent touched magic this run

[gray sand]

Demolisher is your friend.

[fossil delta]

SOL unless RNG smiles upon you.

[main jungle]

so it is one per rune?

[fossil delta]

If its within a certain range of spawn, yes.

[gray sand]

Rune is just a "has a random chance to ignore the star radius rule"

[pine fable]

Much iron.. I havent made it yet

[gray sand]

Makes you untouchable in Ashlands.

[pine fable]

noted

[fossil delta]

Tear down bridges in the Mistlands, You get lots of iron BARS from them.

[pine fable]

How does the atgeir fair in the ashlands?

[fossil delta]

Lousy, from what I have read here.

[pine fable]

Hehe already know this, ive gotten so much iron from the mistlands

[gray sand]

Sorry, was mountain-running. Am in cave now.

Atgeir does less damage because Charred resist pierce, but the MMB is effective at creating space.

[fossil delta]

Then why are you short on it? I have nearly an iron chest full of it, after making all the Mistlands gear.

[pine fable]

I never said i dont have iron i just refuse to use it alot

[fossil delta]

Ah, OK. I use it a lot, because I have a lot. 😄 😄

[pine fable]

Fair enough

[pine fable]

Can i stunlock with it still?

[gray sand]

If you have the Himmminiimiminim Afl, yes.

[fossil delta]

I wish there were more uses for black metal. I'm filling up a second black metal chest because I am getting a lot, and thats not my goal.

[pine fable]

Gotcha, looks like i didnt make it for nothing then ^^' ive just gotta upgrade it

Ive been using the black metal one for the most part

[pine fable]

Make chests with it! 🗣

Ive decided not to use iron chests and to make black metal instead exactly for that reason, iron is used in so much more then black metal is

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but I only need about 20. Thats only 120 bm bars. Only 4 stacks.

[pine fable]

Make some lvl 4 atgeirs for decor xd

[fossil delta]

I have a mix of iron and bm chests, but I am slowly converting them all to BM.

Its just too much to do all at one time.

[upper lily]

can anyone give me a serpent + rancid remains trophies?

just for unlocks

[fossil delta]

Heh, those aren't easy to come by. Only have 3 and 1, respectively, myself.

[upper lily]

i just need to pick it into inventory and give back, but can't join any publci servers cause all have passwords

[fossil delta]

You could always use dev commands to just spawn them in, then throw them away until you get them in game.

[gray sand]

And we have returned to my issue with battleaxes the moment I hit Mountain.

Ulvs and Gierhaffa so far both recover from stagger before you can get the first hit off.

[merry pebble]

Pokey poke it is then 😄

[fossil delta]

What staggered them before you did your first hit?

[gray sand]

Parry.

[fossil delta]

Ah. Yeah, well I never use parry, so not familiar with timings, etc... As for Battle axes, they are like sledges for me, very situational.

Even though I am using Demolisher more and more often. That knock back is very helpful, even if its not a lot of damage.

[gray sand]

This is why I have held to the "reduce by 0.1s" because it does not need to be much faster. Just a smidge faster so you can actually follow-up your own staggers.

[fossil delta]

Only stagger I do is through damage.

Or is that called stun? Either way, once that is accomplished, they die even faster.

[gray sand]

Stagger is stagger no matter how it is applied.

[fossil delta]

OK, just some people refer to it as stun lock.

[smoky quarry]

yep, stun lock. Perma lock is the worst

[fossil delta]

Its great when I do it to the enemies, never had it done to me.

[smoky quarry]

some other games with some buffs one could perma lock others and easy frag

[wintry valve]

I forgot to say.
Vinny has killed bonemass. Vinny hasnt died yet. Vinny wanted to make a wolf cape but its too hard so a lox cape will have to do.

[fossil delta]

Because of the trophy?

[smoky quarry]

all you need is one Being hunted.. raid and you are set :p

[fossil delta]

Yeah, usually get 4 or more trophies with a raid, Hard not to when you can kill nearly 40.

[wintry valve]

ye

I could wait for a raid, or I could just make a lox cape

[fossil delta]

Hard part is to actually get the raid. With how many hours I spend in the plains and mountains, I've only gotten 4, maybe 5.

On top of actually taming 2 star wolves for the first time in... years. Since the raid was introduced, no shortage of any of those mats.

[prime trail]

any thoughts on why my friend is getting failed to connect on server?

[tribal trench]

you on xbox?

I sometimes have that issue when I crossplay, I just resend them a current invite code

[idle vine]

is there any way to hide the UI? Just trying to take a clean pic of my base

[prime trail]

no, pc i turned off crossplay, will see if that works

[tacit crystal]

Ctrl + F3.

[idle vine]

thank you! I was looking in every menu for mapped buttons but couldn't find anything

[tacit crystal]

Glad that helped.

[gray sand]

Onions acquired!

[prime trail]

this worked. 🙂

[delicate marlin]

Ey ey is it time for this months word from the devs xD

[merry pebble]

Well, it usually is near the end of the month 🤔 only few times it was in the middle

[delicate marlin]

Probably before Halloween 👻

[merry pebble]

If we get one 😄

[fossil delta]

Usually some day between the 19th and the 24th.

[tacit crystal]

Last Word from Devs was published 18th of September. But the date when the next one is there may vary.

[fossil delta]

When they aren't on their annual vacation.

[tacit crystal]

We shall see if Hervor makes a comeback after few months of silence. 👀

[delicate marlin]

Excited for some wintery Valheim n chill 😊

[wicked quarry]

If its at least as challenging as Ashlands...there will be no chill haha

[neon steppe]

ahh finally i can wield magic!

[tacit crystal]

IIRC devs have said DN won't have as much battling as in Ashlands and instead has more of those chill moments.

[fierce condor]

any turkish player?

[tacit crystal]

Probably many, you can search for fellow countrymen in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[fierce condor]

i will check it thanks

[silk token]

i actually don't think i've parried an ulf with a battleaxe so i can't say yuh-huh, i actually rarely parry in general with it

[gray sand]

It also can't windup after one of the golem attacks.

[silk token]

oh the SNEAKY golem attack yeah lol

[gray sand]

Apparently there is hidden stagger time limits based on which attack you parry...

[silk token]

it's a weird fake out stagger they do, i think i remember it happening consistently on the 2nd time you parry them

but yeah that can trick you into attacking XD

[gray sand]

It's usually on the heavier attack. Trolls do it too.

If you parry the two-handed they recover almost immediately.

[silk token]

and then they switch up their attack-yeah was just sayin the troll thing

yeah they tricky. i honestly don't battleaxe them, i parry with shield and then use a pickaxe XD

[gray sand]

Need to go chop an assload of wood for coal...

[silk token]

there's few solo mobs that i battleaxe unless i can do significant damage, agianst abominations, or crystal vs viles,

[gray sand]

If I am going to battleaxe, I am going to battleaxe at all times.

[silk token]

imean. sigh.

not even 1 handed axe??

you have a prayer of parrying them with-wait how are you parrying a golem on VH with a battleaxe??!

[fathom gulch]

What is the most number of wolves you guys have tamed?

[gray sand]

Every other weapon in the game can follow-up on a parry. Why is this the sole exception?

[silk token]

it can for almost every mob

[gray sand]

I have a test world 😄 I am not forcing VH for all things if I am going to give it a "fair shake" 😄

[silk token]

oh you're testing battleaxe on normal difficulty vs golems?

[fossil delta]

Tamed? 6.

[gray sand]

Yeah because on VegVH I am exclusively dodging 😄

[silk token]

or booping

[gray sand]

So when I beat a boss, I swap to test world and spawn all of the next biome stuff once so I can test the normal battleaxe experience.

[silk token]

or timing an attackto hit htem as they get to you

wait you what??? but isn't part fo the experience going into a biome with the previous biome's gear??

[gray sand]

?

[silk token]

you said you beat a boss, then dev command the next biome's gear so you can start the biome already with taht biome's gear?

[gray sand]

Enemies.

Bonemass is dead.
I spawned in all the mountain enemies to test iron battleaxe against them.

Windup is too slow vs. Golem, Ulv, Gierhaffa.

I can follow-up with every one-handed weapon and even the sledge.
Battleaxe is, as I have been advocating, just like 0.1s too slow.
Which is the problem.

[silk token]

ohhhh ok

ok but i think you're battleaxign in a sub-optimal way, the axe is meant to initiate and chop, if you're parrying it's because it's a ranged mob or something, on easier difficulties you stagger most things very easily with the first hit, and on VH don't even thikn about parrying so why are you parrying

[gray sand]

Name another weapon that cannot be used in multiple ways and forces a single playstyle?

[silk token]

name another weapon that effortlessly cleaves everything in front of you and has bonus stagger damage

also, 2 handed hammer?

bow?

magic?

[gray sand]

See above about how the hammer still has time to follow-up after parry.

[silk token]

the 2 handed hammer?

[gray sand]

Bow works better at range, but doesn't force it.

[gray sand]

🤬 would I have replied specifically to that line if I did not mean 2-handed 🤬 ing hammer????

[silk token]

but why do you even need to parry an ulf, just hit it and its dead

and why should a weapon with glorious cleave and obnus stagger not have a downside

[neon steppe]

need to build a new base, my old one is getting really really cramped from all the new crafting stations and all my boxes are so so full

[gray sand]

The downside is you have no shield so your block armor is lower.
The downside is how slow it swings. I am just saying it is a tad too slow.

[neon steppe]

thinking plains, maybe black forest

[gray sand]

Why does the one-handed sword have literally no downsides at all when it should have an MtP?

[silk token]

cuz its cleave is wonky? idk

i always felt like the devs were sayinig ur supposed to use swords, and these other weapons are silly niche things

like 1 hand axe is objectively worse in every way to everything

[gray sand]

If 1h sword had MtP that wouldn't be true.

[neon steppe]

i never even thought about using 1h axe as a weapon until i saw someone in here say they use it

for me it was just for chopping down treees

[silk token]

true

it should have mtp if 2 hander doesn't anymore definitely

[gray sand]

Indeed.

[silk token]

arite well keep trying the battleaxe i promise it's good, just try swinging it a little more instead of playing defense

[gray sand]

I'm going to keep trying it, because fair shake.

Just depends on if they list of un-followable grows or not.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, when I use the battle axe its to be aggressive, and to kill 5, 6, 7, 8 fulings. If I want to block, I'll have my shield in hand, along with another weapon. Like Porcupine. Or the BM sword.

[gray sand]

I am very aggressive, but sometimes the cadence of a fight works in a block/parry.

Off to find Moder...

And then I need 1 more silver vein to max out the Silver Sword.

I also further don't understand why people found Black Forge so jarring.

Like when you got normal Forge, you cannot fully upgrade Bronze stuff.
Next biome gets all remaining upgrades of it.
Black Forge progression is an exact copy of this.

[wooden moth]

-15% movement speed is nasty tho

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it is. I think people found it irritating because we waited so long to get that upgrade.

People playing now will just move on to Ashlands and get it. No year long wait.

[tepid prawn]

that is the thing of playing an EA game, even though imho the best done ever EA game really

[wooden moth]

im in mistlands rn with my friend but trying to build as much as possible before moving to the mistlands boss

[shy marlin]

God I hope not

[wooden moth]

trying to time it right so we finish ashlands when deep north releases

[tacit crystal]

Hey c'mon now, maybe she finally gets her hands on a new weapon.

[lunar sapphire]

ᓚᘏᗢ

[small iris]

Has there been any major updates with new biomes etc since ashlands one?

[shy marlin]

nah

Largely just systems and mechanic changes with a few content bits

[small iris]

I'll look more into that, thanks a lot

[silk token]

or in my case spear for secondary cuz i dont bow

[silk token]

eh, never found it a huge issue

[gray sand]

Fenris trophy 👀

[gray sand]

Moder dead. Straight to Plains or build Crystal BA... decisions decisions..

[fossil delta]

You can definitely do the plains without the CBA. So I'd start, worry about crafting later.

[silk token]

crystal axe if you want a SLIGHTLY easier time killing viles, growths, yagluth

[gray sand]

I have rank 4 silver sword for Yag 😄

[silk token]

but otherwise ya gob gobs immune to spirit so

[gray sand]

That's why I'm debating should I get more silver 😄

[silk token]

oh lol well if you’re allowing yourself swords screw the crystal XD

[gray sand]

I used iron battleaxe for all of Swamp, still used mace on Bonemass 😄

BiS is BiS 😂

[silk token]

nice, iron baxe is amazing in swamp. and ya me and my 0 mace skill and iron mace i just made every time hehe

[fossil delta]

If your switching to swords, just make the BM sword as soon as you have the mats, use it through the plains and early Mistlands. Just save the silver sword for Bonemass and then Ashlands mobs.

[silk token]

OMFG just accidentally found ROCKY!!!!

ON an actual place that's awesome to build a base. im sorry i doubted this seed

[fossil delta]

I've only had one seed I disliked and it was because the starter was so small I had to use a raft to get off of it to really start progressing. It was only meadows, and a small one at that.

[silk token]

lol i had a seed lke that, it was actually awesome cuz here i am on a raft in the ocean and a storm hits, idk if you've rode a raft in a bad storm it's epic

[fossil delta]

I have, but it was years ago, just like this seed was.

[gray sand]

I also only have Fenris at rank 3 so I need to finish that off.

[neon steppe]

is silver sword better than mistwalker in ashlands?

higher spirit dmg

[silk token]

i dont think anything beats the cold slow from frost weapons in ashlands

[foggy glacier]

it is, by a bit.

[fossil delta]

Depends on the mob.

[silk token]

MAYBE more damage, but that slow is op

[neon steppe]

i just crafted mistwalker, love it so far

not in ashlands yet tho!

[silk token]

bugs also hate cold ya its good

[foggy glacier]

Spirit damage wins against most of the mobs in Ashlands. You'll get a better overall damage.

Mistwalker is a great all-around sword for Ashlands, well balanced IMO.

[gray sand]

Balance? In Valheim? 👀

[fossil delta]

From what I understand, no weapon is as op as going mage, so I don't care.

[gray sand]

Magic is so OP 😄

[silk token]

mehhhhhhh

ok so the vine staff will let you breath for the first time if you came to ashlands with bad choices. i will still take my lightning greatsword over magic

[gray sand]

It will take a bit for you to go from arrival to having Ling Slayer though.

On arrival, staff of fireball is one of the most broken things you can wield.

[silk token]

crapshoot whether you get green or blue for vine or lightning

[gray sand]

Green is for bows.

[silk token]

sure it's useful, i still found myself permanently running and reapplying bubble when i first landed

AFTER i realized how hot ass my atgier was against charred

im a silly no spoiler player so dang my atgier main run was interesting.....

by the time i got vine staff all my skills were reset anyway, so..

SECOND time to ashlands i came with a tower shield and sword and didn't die once

[gray sand]

I had Mistwalker and Himmminimimmimniimin when I first arrived. So when I realized atgeirs weren't as good, I had a backup.

[untold sinew]

Cramped

[silk token]

Himmminimimmimniimin 😂 😂

[gray sand]

I do wish they had just made Jotun Bane into a 2-handed tbh,

[silk token]

ohmygod. that was fantastic. thats as much as i care to say that name too

ugh, scrotum bane. i pretend that weapon doesn't exist

[gray sand]

Poison needs a rework.

[silk token]

needs true stacks and/or spike damage on stacks reached like some league of legends mechanic

[gray sand]

Or something like I put in #suggestions the other week 😏

[silk token]

or effect like target takes 25% bonus dmg with 5 stacks

but then most thingsa re poison immune because valheim is land of skeletons

[gray sand]

I don't want it to stack because the other 2 dots stack and that's boring if they all 3 do it 😄

[silk token]

doesn't fire like... KIND OF stack?

[fossil delta]

Skeletons don't matter with Jotun. They are so weak by the time you have it you just destroy them with a hit. So poison wouldn't even have a chance to work on them.

[barren whale]

Fire fully stacks, if you sneak attack even those ticks will be higher
though you can jump in water

[gray sand]

Fire and Spirit both stack, yes.

Which is why I changed Spirit a bit in my suggestion too. To make each DoT unique.

[silk token]

but i thought fire was like yeah it stacks sort of, second stack gets 80%, third stack gets 60% somethin like that

[shy marlin]

no

[silk token]

ok somebody's lying to me then

[barren whale]

all ticks should be equal
Many source of fire dmg also come with blunt (embers, frac) or pierce (fire arrows) which could lead to that impression

[silk token]

equal meaning one fireball ticks for 10 at a time, 2 fireballs tick for 20 at a time

[barren whale]

yep! but if you toss 2 fireballs, the very last fire tick should be only 10 because the first fireball has already expired

[silk token]

right

well now i wish i remembered who that was, because it was a very specific lie about fire damage

[fossil delta]

It may not have been a lie, the wiki can be clear as mud at times.

[fluid cove]

are Maypoles guaranteed to spawn in every seeds? just hard as balls to find

[gray sand]

I don't think so, but they are buildable in the summer/spring.
(And no one will begrudge you using free build during the off months).

[barren whale]

it's like 5 or 6 in every worldgen i thought, but I'm not sure
i wonder if you can change your system date lmao i've never actually tried

[tame jackal]

yeah uese devcommands for maypole

and christmas tree

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure they are not a guarantee to have in a given world. Certainly hard to find if they are. I have not come across one in the last several worlds. I explore a lot too.

[neon steppe]

i was so excited to find 2 but they both were in such a bad places, absolutely no way i want to build bases there

[fossil delta]

Definitely a confounding issue. Of the ones I have come across, I think I was only willing to build there twice. Only one of which was before we were even able to make them.

[neon steppe]

it is also very annoying trying to build around them since you need to have bedroom close

or i guess you can build your comfort room to be any room you want but for me it's bedroom always

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I put them inside my house as part of my hearth area. No way I was letting them get destroyed.

[crude saddle]

Huh, black metal was a much smaller upgrade than I was expecting

I got a new axe and shield, and that's about it

[little turtle]

why jump cost so much stamina tf

[crude saddle]

You skip leg day

[small light]

It goes down as you increase jump stat

[nocturne wolf]

It doesn’t, but lightfoot mead and feather cape reduce it

[small light]

Hmm then I've been wrong since the game launched.

[barren whale]

yea jumping is wacky because its the one skill that doesn't reduce stamina consumption

[near bear]

just got krom and i find it weird how the 2H sword special gives 1 adrenaline whereas 1H sword gives 3, intended?

they both take about the same amount of time to do too

[coarse gust]

And have the same damage amp

[barren whale]

it's confusing to me too, it might have to do with consistency between 2h weapons (secondaries all give 1 adrenaline) and 1h weapons (secondaries give 3) - is that even right?

[near bear]

greataxe's being 1 adren makes sense because of how fast it is, but greatsword's is so slow

i feel like it should give 2 too at the very least, if not 3

[barren whale]

tbh for me both are kinda low to make a meaningful difference, most of the adrenaline generation comes from the stagger that usually happens after

but yeah so many adrenaline mechanics feel weird to me, it feels closer to one of those "67x combo!!" systems in fighting games

[tacit crystal]

Surely not intented, but according to the latest Word from Devs blog there might be some tweaking in upcoming weeks/months.

[coarse gust]

it might be a case of twohanded weapons all giving 1 adrenaline for secondary attacks. without taking into account that the atgeir is a big aoe and the battleaxe is a quick stab. as opposed to the twohanded swords massive single target thrust

[subtle vessel]

Is there anything else besides porcupine that does blunt and pierce damage?

[silk token]

trinkets are also supposed to "reward skilled play" which hitting a the secondary of battleaxe or atgier is about a 1 out of 5 as far as difficulty. 2 hand sword secondary should be a little more, but it's really all about the staggering and if you use either of those abilities you're going to most likely stagger your target for +5 adrenaline. i imagine they wanted to balance it to not be a massive adrenaline farm, imagine you get 5 just for using atgier secondary, and then 5 for staggering the thing you hit, and the low damage of it, that sounds like a stupid busted adrenaline farm weapon

[subtle vessel]

Also are battle axes good now

[silk token]

id argue they always were, but there's new higher tiers of them, and the adrenaline reward from staggering and criting with them works great with trinkets

[tacit crystal]

They've been for long time, takes some time to get used to the windup of first hit but there are also more battleaxes in later biomes after Call to Arms update.

[subtle vessel]

They better than atgeirs?

[silk token]

situational and personal preference

[subtle vessel]

Ty

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir secondary is surely easier and has AoE and higher stagger multiplier, but being pierce damage which more mobs resist than slash damage it can suffer bit from that. Plus only the secondary attack has high stagger, battleaxes have higher stagger for both primary and secondary attacks.

[silk token]

from personal experience if you're an atgier main and you land in ashlands you're going to die a ton

[tacit crystal]

To be specific, atgeir secondary has 6x stagger multiplier, battleaxe primary has 1,5x and secondary 4x (effectively 2x of weapon damage).

[silk token]

and there's no ashlands atgier but there are ashlands axes. but to be fair you have the 2 biggest battleaxes advocates here XD you'll find people who think atgier is the only way to play the game too

[tacit crystal]

Himminafl gets some easier time for not being fully pierce but partial lightning which is only elemental damage type that adds to stagger.

[silk token]

imean its possible it was because my little toes had never seen ashlands before but i died like probably 30 times before i got a vine staff and switched to magic my first time there. but when i came back with swords it was easy town

certainly SOME of that is experience, but.

i was also trying to fight charred soldiers with the atgier which lol.

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir secondary surely is like a cheat code for quickly making room by pushing and staggering everything around for a moment.

[silk token]

yeah, but against charred it’s like “ha ha you’re stunned now I can wait why are you hitting me?“

[gray sand]

Especially with Berserkir mead.

[silk token]

@tacit crystal have you done battleaxe on higher difficulties? im on hard and it still tells mobs when and how to die just fine, and sevrahn is slowly coming to the dark side using it on very hard

[tacit crystal]

I actually had one hard perma run ongoing and also had made both iron and crystal battleaxe iirc. But it has been on long break for some reason.

[ionic iron]

Technically, the Stagbreaker does 5 pierce, but not really on the same level as Porcupine

[silk token]

im still swamping but it’s definitely good, would recommend, it’s a bit scary getting there with a bronze axe XD but so far so good, it CAN parry a star archer with mediocre food

[gray sand]

Sevrahn has run into the same dumb timing wall he did last time.
So he is not turning just yet. He needs to see how far the wall extends.

[silk token]

have you tried hitting the ulf before it hits you instead of parrying it? but also if it breaks stagger before your 1st attack lands that just means you’re immediately staggering it again

[gray sand]

I am not repeating this conversation 😁

[silk token]

haha, not repeating just curious if you heard what i said last time and tried it

[tacit crystal]

I have this memory it was very useful against most mobs since it staggered more surely due to slight damage decrease by the difficulty.

[silk token]

ulfs are fodder we dont parry fodder we reap them

[silk token]

the only big issue i had was this time a spawner in a dungeon made an elite and a star elite, and the elite was shoving the star elite at me down the hall who got to keep sprinting at me while swinging and couldnt be staggered

i sadly confess i panicked and use the entrance step cheese to kill them…

[lunar sapphire]

Say it louder for those in the back?

[silk token]

you’re that offended we’re talking about ulfs for a second time?

[lunar sapphire]

I'm not sure where that came from

but offended? I'm not even aware it was discussed already

[silk token]

?? then do you just mean repeat conversations in general or what

[gray sand]

I AM NOT REPEATING THIS CONVERSATION 😁

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-shocked-funny-animals-gif-14395038

[gray sand]

Kitty!

[lunar sapphire]

I am lost and I will remain lost

[silk token]

same i guess 😆🙃

[gray sand]

Original cliff notes:

Me, long time ago testing battleaxes (BA) - the windup is like 0.1s too long because I cannot follow-up on my own parries.
Yacko, long time to present - Give BA's another try, they are great.
Me, at present giving them another try - everything fine until Mountain when I run into enemies that I can stagger, but the windup on the first attack is 0.1s too long so I cannot follow-up on my own stagger.
Yacko, at present - Just hit them first instead of trying to parry.
Me, at present - name a single other melee weapon that cannot follow-up on its own parry stagger window?

You cannot, because there is none. Hence the problem. And not a large problem. Just a 0.1s problem.

[silk token]

right. then new part of convo was
yacko: just hit the ulf don’t parry it
sev: me likey parry ulf

[gray sand]

But I will continue and see how many enemies make the list.

[gray sand]

Sometimes you get surprised and need to parry. 😭

[silk token]

true! and its a great defensive free(ughhh why) tool, you dont HAVE to capitalize on it

[lunar sapphire]

I did try the ashlands rooted axes and I do like them 😛

[silk token]

or just swing and hit it a little late. ulf goes “ha, i’m not staggered anymore-OOF im staggered”

[gray sand]

Green is for bows.

[lunar sapphire]

Entitled to your wrong opinion but aight ❤️

[gray sand]

your* 😏

😄

[silk token]

oooo the your came out 🤣

[gray sand]

The change is so much better.

[lunar sapphire]

Thanking you Chef

[merry pebble]

Nono, you are the wrong opinion 😏

[silk token]

i actually appreciate green axes, the disable procing is pretty great you can just hit them for free

[gray sand]

Green on melee - let me root something in place so I can stay in melee range where it can still hit me, making the root pointless.
Green on bows - let me root something so it stays over there allowing me to shoot it more without having to move.

Green is for bows.

[silk token]

id still use lightning because lightning but i cant argue against green

[silk token]

no but they just sit there they cant hit back

[gray sand]

Root, defined as being unable to walk around, disables ATTACKS?

Yes/No

[silk token]

i distinctly remember walking to the side and back of rooted mobs and they couldnt get me

[gray sand]

Jesus Odin Christ....

[silk token]

haha, yeah its more like… they’re entangled and cant move OR turn

[smoky quarry]

if rooted you cant change direction

[silk token]

which imean, accurate being wrapped up in roots

[smoky quarry]

maybe if u face them they might hit, so Maybe..

[lunar sapphire]

Seems the convo is repeating

[gray sand]

You were confused and I sought to bring clarity 😭

[silk token]

well clearly sometimes new things are discovered if a conversation repeats

[gray sand]

Repeating Subjects... it's school all over again

[lunar sapphire]

Imagine repeating subjects at school

[gray sand]

American education system 😏

Finished highschool? Go to college/uni where the first 2 years is just... highschool all over again. 😄

[polar osprey]

Learn more on the job in 2 months training hands on than you'll ever learn in the public education system! On a different note. What's your record for highest amount of cores from a burial chamber. With regular loot settings of course. Last night I got 17 from one chamber!

[gray sand]

Surtling Cores? Yeah 15-17 is probably my record as well.

[polar osprey]

I did 4 chambers prior to the record breaker for myself. Those 4 chambers yeiled 5 cores. Then 17 from the next!

Kind of like iron, I've had crypts give me like 14 iron and then the next one dumps out 250

[tacit crystal]

Both Primal axes and Klossen. 🤌

[upper lily]

is there a way to reset the dungeon by console? or comamnds?

[merry pebble]

Not as far as i am aware

[hallow estuary]

Whens the next update

[wicked snow]

how do you use the trinkets?

[gray sand]

When it is ready.

[gray sand]

Build, equip, fight until adrenaline bar full.

[wicked snow]

what is this new adrenaline bar

[hallow estuary]

Damn, I wanted it right here and right now and then cry about next update 😃

[gray sand]

You will see it when you start fighting while you have a trinket equipped.

[wicked snow]

so bar fills, trinket auto activates, rinse and repeat?

[gray sand]

Yup.

[polar osprey]

Not sure where in settings but you can have all dungeons repopulate after said amount of time.

[merry pebble]

Not in vanilla you dont

[tacit crystal]

Only things that respawn in dungeons are yellow mushrooms in burial chambers and sunken crypts and royal jelly nodes and some mobs in infested mines.

[polar osprey]

Or download your mod. I'm sure they can let you know which one it is in the modding channel

Only time you need to repop dungeons is if you're playing with a big group and resources are stretched.

[pliant hatch]

Imagine Subject repeating subjects about subjects at school.

[lunar sapphire]

That was not worth the ping

[pliant hatch]

Too many subjects?

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/bumble-bees-fall-cat-cute-gif-16215516

[tacit crystal]

If resources are streched, you could try raising the resource multiplier from world modifiers.
I currently have group total of 3-4 (including me) and 1,5x resource multiplier has been quite nice.

[sly oyster]

I need a seed that's got an insane amount of plains on it with like 300 tar pits for farming tar

And prolly 9000 stone pillars

[tacit crystal]

Them tar pits are scattered around the plains in world and IIRC the amount of plains in each world is around the same percentage.

[sly oyster]

I need to increase just stone and tar drop rate then

[tacit crystal]

Resource slider from world modifiers is for that.

[sly oyster]

Doesn't that adjust everything though?

[tacit crystal]

Yes it does for all drops. There is no specific sliders for certain materials.

[sly oyster]

I don't need 5000 resin and bone shards. And tbh I don't need mass ingots either, I don't mind mining them because they aren't needed in insane quants

Just the foundation of a dock build used two boxes of stone

[polar osprey]

I don't like the resource slider to be honest. Wish it was set for stone and wood only.

[tacit crystal]

One can just focus on mining stone and tar then and let every else materials to be in that case.

[polar osprey]

If I end up using resource slider I always increase difficulty to make it fair.

[sly oyster]

Yeah there was a mod I used before and made it do stone, wood , and tar at 1.5x. but it's 5 years outdated. Maybe it still works though

[tacit crystal]

Sliders for specific materials would be a good idea tbf.

[pliant hatch]

So?
Don't pick it up or drop it off at a place where you don't have a workbench. Or put it in the obliterator and get some coal out of it.

I don't see the problem here.

[sly oyster]

Building mats specifically. I don't wanna just no cost or spawn my build mats, but even medium sized builds can just drink mats like water

And while I gripe about building, maybe make the stone cutter and work bench have a larger radius 😂

[fossil delta]

I'd be happy if they just increased the stone cutter radius with the bench it's connected to.

That way 1 would likely cover my entire base.

[pliant hatch]

Except that upgrade is a late game addition, making it a bit useless for increasing the range as most players usually have a fully develloped base by then.

[fossil delta]

Which upgrade? Doesn't the workbench increase with each level up?

[pliant hatch]

Workbench does.

But the upgrade to the stone cutter comes after you defeated the Queen. Which means it that one would increase its range, it's pretty late in the game, which makes it quite useless.

[tacit crystal]

There is no upgrades for stonecutter, afaik. Artisan table gets an upgrade after Queen tho.

[fossil delta]

Yeah I have not noticed an upgrade for the stone cutter. I could easily miss it.

That's why I said go by the work bench it's connected to.

[pliant hatch]

The stonecutter isn't connected to any workbench.

[fossil delta]

You don't need a bench down to build one?

[pliant hatch]

YOu know, perhaps if you use a bit less confusing wording, people would actually understand what you mean.

Because up to now you've been giving the impression that the stone cutter has an upgrade, then imply that the stone cutter upgrade can be done when there's a workbench connected to it and now you're asking if you need a workbench to build a stonecutter..

So what the hell do you actually mean?

[sly oyster]

Needing the workbench and or stonecutter to build a house is doo doo mechanics

Lemme just build

I'd even take pre making the blocks lol, but then you have weight problems

[fossil delta]

I started off saying I would be happy if they based it off of the bench it's connected to.

[sly oyster]

Sounds like the best solution is to just make the radius bigger, then no worries no cry

[pliant hatch]

Stonecutter is not connected to any workbench.
It's a seperate crafting station.

Just like the forge, the black forge, the spinningwheel, the artisan table and the galdr table are separate crafting tables.

[fossil delta]

You need a bench to build a cutter, correct? Sounds connected to me.

[pliant hatch]

So in your reasoning the cow is connected to the corn?
After all, the cow's shit is used as fertilizer to grow the corn.

The only things connected to a workbench are the Adze, chopping block, Tanning Rack.

[fossil delta]

I take it your having a bad day, so I'll just leave you alone for a while.

[pliant hatch]

I'm not having a bad day.

I'm trying to explain in my simple 4 year knowledge of the English language to you who've been a native English speaking person for your entire live that there's a BIG difference between two things being being connected to one another or where one thing is a requirement for the other to be constructed.

But I guess, with my simply 4 year English education I may be mistaken as you are the Native English speaking person, thus you are always correct and I am wrong.
After all, people who speak fluently English after having it at school for only 4 years aren't as intelligent as one who's been speaking it their entire life. Right?

So next time you want to post something here, do it in Dutch, German, French, Polish as I speak most of those languages. As well as partially Italian, Spanish and Indonesian.

Because there's more than just English in the world. But that's something a lot of native English speaking seem to forget; hence why they think they know it better as those had to learn that language as a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language.

[orchid locust]

what the...

[gray sand]

Anyways...

[wintry valve]

Vinny died. To a wolf.

[gaunt perch]

Should’a shot the wolf

[pliant hatch]

So....

Restart or corpse run to avenge the death on the wolf. And it's kin?

[gaunt perch]

Fair, but this shit ain’t really an English class. Unless you need or needed to clarify or define something

[wintry valve]

I did, but it was a two star wolf and I was in a hole

but then the roles were reversed afterward so I did shoot the wolf again.

What bothers me the most is I had bonemass readied and I didnt use it. I would have saved me

[gaunt perch]

Bro got the stepsis treatment

[pine fable]

My fear’s are realized.. I’ve perished 4 times so far 😔

[gaunt perch]

Incendiary arrows best arrows

[gaunt perch]

I’ve already perished 4 times just to attain black forest materials

[pliant hatch]

True. Unfortunately it's about something far worse.
Someone not willing to admit he's wrong, even when explained that there's a different between a requirement and a connection.

And in all fairness, it doesn't matter what language you speak or how many you do speak. The moment you don't want to admit you're wrong, you're not the brightest 💡 around.

[gaunt perch]

Sounds about right

[polar osprey]

If you read the rules it states English in chats.

[pliant hatch]

If you read the whole conversation instead of the last post only, you'd understand why I wrote that.

And if you're able to read between the lines, you certainly would understand.

[gray sand]

Can we not say shit like this?

...

[polar osprey]

That comes off pretty disrespectful. That's also in the rules. But so is backseat moderating so I guess I'll just grab screens and make a report.

[tiny mortar]

Is this a troll account

[pliant hatch]

Oh, if someone wants to message the mod-mail and make a report, I won't mind.

There's a reason I reacted that way and I will explain it to whoever contacts me after the report is reviewed.

Just know that if someone draws his or her conclusions from my last post, without reading what comes before it, they are making a big mistake in judging me.
But that's not my problem, it's theirs.

[pine fable]

Make that five 💔

[pliant hatch]

Sounds like you got a terrible entry point.

Any chance to get your stuff back, get out and land somewhere else?

[gray sand]

@silk token I will finish Crystal BA and upgrade before Plains.
But can we talk about why all the Mountain enemies, who are not undead, take spirit damage? 🙁

[gray sand]

Go for double-digits, I believe in you!

[polar osprey]

Spirit vs Fenrir and ulvs is pretty normal lore wise no? Silver vs werewolf.

As for everyone else on the mountain :/ not sure.

[fast stone]

im brand new to valheim and ive no idea what im doing and too scared to venture

[lunar sapphire]

Welcome Viking!

[fast stone]

thanks subject

[polar osprey]

Still in the meadows?

[lunar sapphire]

Your best friend will be Hugin the Raven. As you adventure biomes and pick up items it'll appear to give you hitns

[fast stone]

yes im still in meadows, i killed a troll and thats my biggest achievement by far

[marble orchid]

"Wow I just killed Eikthyr first try, no animal is going to kill me now"
The humble bear:

[fast stone]

i killed a bear too

not eikthyr yet tho

[marble orchid]

It's the opposite for me lmao

[polar osprey]

I mean, killing a troll is pretty big accomplishment as a new player. They're tough. You're going to love the game. It's my number #1 game I love to play.

[fast stone]

lmaooo

Im too terrified to spawn eikthyr

it took me forever to kill the troll and bear

[marble orchid]

I see a bear and I'm like "oh no"

[fast stone]

i just ran and shot arrows

i had to hide in my house and run around for the bear

[marble orchid]

You got to make a bow?

[fast stone]

yeah

[pliant hatch]

Believe it or not, but Eikthyr is actually easier as a troll or a bear.

[marble orchid]

I just did it with a spear and shield

[polar osprey]

Some stones, wood and a hammer. All you need for Ek. Lay down campfires and light him up!

[marble orchid]

Now bears are are actually terrifying

[fast stone]

that bear was rushing me

[fast stone]

ill mess that up somehow

💀

[marble orchid]

And killing deer with a spear is kinda annoying but I kinda got used to throwing spears now

[fast stone]

do u lose the spear when u throw it

im blind as a bat so id probably lose it

[marble orchid]

You can pick it up right after

[fast stone]

yeah im losing it

ok im gonna try to spawn eikthyr and fight him

[polar osprey]

Trust me. Just don't step in the fire and don't huff all the smoke. Make sure you have good stamina and just spam fires underneath EK.

[marble orchid]

I wish I could lose my 5 stone hammers because I crafted multiple of those right away because I didn't know you could repair tools

[fast stone]

i was just gonna shoot him with fire arrows

[pliant hatch]

Throw it, keep running in the same direction, you will auto pick it up (if that's on) equip it and stab the thing to death.

[marble orchid]

Now I gotta think of here to drop them off

[fast stone]

same

make a trash ditch with a hoe? 😛

[marble orchid]

For deer one throw is enough, thank god

[fast stone]

i had to shoot a dear like 3 times with a bow to kill it, the first deer i killed ran into my axe swing when i was fighting a goblin thing

[gaunt perch]

Das plenty

[fast stone]

ok hes not gonna one shot me like a troll right

[marble orchid]

Flint spear oneshots a deer but you gotta account for the arch

[fast stone]

i need to play with ppl to not be terrified 💀

[marble orchid]

He does have an attack like that but it's well telegraphed and you can just run away

[gray sand]

Spears do not have as much arc as bows, so there is less to account for.

[marble orchid]

I just tanked it with a shield honestly

[fast stone]

ok

alright im convinced im gonna go fight him

[marble orchid]

You'd think it would be the opposite since arrows are lighter

[gray sand]

Bows are the longest way to kill bosses just fyi @fast stone

[pliant hatch]

If you got leather armor, you're even going to be more safe.

[gray sand]

Crude bow has Crude arc 😉

[marble orchid]

All I prepared for the fight was leather armor, wooden shield and flint spear and that's it

And even then I felt overprepared

[fast stone]

i have a mix of leather and troll

i really want a cape 😠

[gray sand]

🤔

[marble orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/frankt-gif-23053344

[fast stone]

LOL

[gray sand]

No capes!

[fast stone]

the dear may step on it and hold me down u right 🥹

ah snap it started storming

[fast stone]

did u just start or are u experienced

[fast stone]

ill keep that in mind, im too scared to get any closer ngl

[marble orchid]

Nah I have no idea what's going on in this game

[fast stone]

how are you not terrified

[marble orchid]

I just played until there's nothing else to do but summon the scary deer

The early progression here seems pretty straightforward

[fast stone]

and now ur running into the black forest with no fear?

[marble orchid]

Nah the bears and inventory management terrifies me more

[lunar sapphire]

and if things get tough:

https://tenor.com/view/robin-w-illiams-mrs-doubtfire-help-is-on-the-way-gif-5349786

[fast stone]

LOL

[gray sand]

@fast stone Food is the most important stat in the game.
It effects how much you can block/parry.
So when you enter any new biome, one of the first priorities is getting the new food running as it will make everything in that biome easier.

[marble orchid]

Honestly building brings me more terror here

[fast stone]

you can parry?

[marble orchid]

How am I supposed to place a bed near a fire if I can't put a fire indoors

[gray sand]

If you want details, food sheet is pinned in this channel. It has a Configurations tab for quick reference as to what you should be aiming for per biome.

[fast stone]

i made a hole in my house for mine

[gray sand]

Blocking just as they are about to hit you blocks for more and staggers the enemy.
Note: Tower Shields cannot parry.

[gray sand]

Oh but you can put them in doors 🙂

[marble orchid]

I just put a fire under my house (it's elevated above a swamp)

[fast stone]

im running towards eikthyr now

[pliant hatch]

You can put a fire indoors.

But you need to keep some distance from anything made from wood if you got the fire hazard modifier on.

You also need to build something to disperse the smoke. A chimney may do, but make sure you close it somewhat at the top so the smoke can go out, but the rain can't get in.

[gray sand]

Beat her to death with wooden club!

[fast stone]

i build like a toddler draws

[marble orchid]

Now skeletons are pretty scary

Cuz I need stuff for a smelter and I assume it's down in some dungeon

[fast stone]

i forgot to bring my dear trophies

lmao

[gray sand]

I am remembering where I build my permanent house in this world so now I have a long sail ahead of me...

[marble orchid]

And I still want to tame a boar but I gotta find whatever I can feed it

[fast stone]

i unlocked stagbreaker from getting corewood but im too scared to get more corewood

[marble orchid]

I want my wild piggies

[gray sand]

Berries, Shrooms, Vegetables.

There was one glorious patch where boars required Carrots, and it was awesome, but they undid it immediately... 🙁

[fast stone]

if it starts storming after i summon eikthyr am i cooked

[marble orchid]

Hmm, I tried using rasperries on a boar but it didn't work, like I tried to eat it myself instead of feeding

[gray sand]

Define "didn't work" because it takes multiple days.

[marble orchid]

I sneak up, try to use a raspberry on a boar (like, press 5 while aiming at the boar right next to me) and it does nothing

[fast stone]

i think u have to drop it no?

idk how taming works at all i want a pet boar

stress relief boar 🙁

[gray sand]

Yeah no. You need to cage them, drop the food in, and then wait for days until they tame themselves.
If you startle them it resets their progress.

And you also need to be in radius or the taming pauses.

So most people just train their sneak for a couple days while waiting.

[fast stone]

do u need to move around while sneaking to increase sneak

[pliant hatch]

It's 30 minutes as long as they aren't alerted (exclamation mark over their head). That's technically one Valheim day and one Valheim night.

And best way to make sure they aren't alerted, put up a wooden wall and hide behind it.
Don't use a fire nearby, because that would alert them.

[gray sand]

Yes, it's based on stamina drained iirc.

[fast stone]

now im omw to eithyr fr

[gray sand]

Also, random -- given how they changed Elder buff, I'm honestly going to say it is better to rush Elder and then slow down and use his buff to get the mats from the BF.

[fast stone]

what do tamed boars do, can they help u?

[gray sand]

They are mainly just a reliable material source.
As you can breed them to get more.

Then kill some off for meat/leather.
Then breed more.

[fast stone]

oooo

do you have to feed them to keep them alive

[gray sand]

And they are cute for people who enjoy the farming sim aspect of this game.

[pliant radish]

They will fight enemies but they tend to die easily

And they won’t follow you

[fast stone]

weak bastards

[gray sand]

Feeding is for breeding, they cannot starve.

[fast stone]

is their like a good pet that will follow and fight... or be used as bait to get away? lol

[fast stone]

thank goodness

[pliant radish]

Do you care about spoilers

[gray sand]

Wolves. But they can get killed rather easily when you take them to later biomes.

[fast stone]

no not really tbh

i play this game to relax even though it scares the hell outta me

[fast stone]

oooo

ok, i brought my trophies with me this time... i really hope i dont regret doing this 💀

i paused

[gray sand]

Remember that, even though you can build amazing things and the world is pretty, the story and point of the game is "get in, kill Forsaken, ascend to Valhalla" -- we are not meant to do anything permanent or make friends in this realm.

[fast stone]

aww man

[gray sand]

Eik has 3 attacks, once you learn them you will be untouchable.

[fast stone]

i want pet friends 😢

[pliant radish]

Nah I’ll be out here building giant temples

[fast stone]

okaaay

lets seeeeeeeee how this goes

[gray sand]

Pet friends are for your base, not for your adventures 😛

[pliant hatch]

Oh, you will have those.
Some howl when they're young, some provide you with food even if you don't kill them, some are big and fluffy and you can ride them - but not fight from them - and some look cold and slimy, but seem to be great fighters too. At least, when they're wild.

Overall there's enough pets you can have and even pet. And when you pet the pets, they will tell you they love you.
And create off spring if they're well fed too.

[fast stone]

I DID IT

a whole lot easier than a troll or a bear

[fast stone]

ooooo

[pliant hatch]

On a scale of 1 to 2, how hard was it?

Considering Trolls and bears are most likely a 7 or 8

[pliant radish]

Did what?

[fast stone]

lmaoooo i'd say a 1

i thought hed do a lot more damage than he did

[pliant hatch]

She told the deer boy that it wasn't her dear boy anymore

[fast stone]

he hit me like 4 times

im still terrified to go into the black forest

[pliant radish]

Avoid going out at night if the combat is hard

[gray sand]

Wooden Shield, good food and knowing how to parry will keep you alive.

[fast stone]

;-;

can you parry a giant or a bear

[pine fable]

How long do asksvin take to tame 😮‍💨

[gray sand]

Just don't parry anything with a star or any trolls until you get the Bronze Buckler.

[fast stone]

okie

[gray sand]

Buckler is the largest defensive upgrade in the game.
