[copper bramble]

it better let us still keep playing the save tho

[fossil delta]

I wish the visibility was less of an issue in Mistlands too.

Verticality is less of an issue with the meads we now have.

[copper bramble]

wisp light should be upgradable

[orchid locust]

I always assumed the wisplight is just a sort of fairy or some sort of living thing, whatever their concept of "life" is

can you "upgrade" a human? Or any living being, for that matter

[merry pebble]

This BF runestone talks about exactly this 🙂

"||I have been reborn many times in this world. I have died again and again only to awaken in my own house. Yet still I wonder how many more times I will return like this. Frida was taken by a serpent and her bed lies empty still. Bjarni was bitten in half by a troll and neither half has been seen since...
All around are the ruins of those who came before us but where are the hands that built them?
Perhaps, when a warrior loses the will to remain here, they can no longer return...||"

[orchid locust]

yeah, "failing" is literally not logging into the game 😂

[merry pebble]

They lost their will to remain in Valheim 😄

[neon steppe]

it would be such a beatiful biome to build a base in

if lightning was better

[pliant radish]

I really like the mistlands

I love the mist and the verticality and I often explore without a wisplight anyways

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands best lands. 🤌

[copper bramble]

i like plains the most i think

horde battles in the villages are a fun time

if you have bile bombs you can be the arsonist you always wanted to be

[fossil delta]

I'm saving those for later. I don't run into nearly enough gallons to have the inventory I'd like.

Gjall.

[copper bramble]

there are so many gjalls in my mistlands area

i have a stack and a half of bile bombs

[fossil delta]

I have about 30.

[coarse gust]

From a buildlers pov, mistlands would be perfect if it had a 30/70 ratio of misty vs mist free terrain
Instead of the current 10/90 distribution

If i am building anything in the mistlands at ground level i end up making 2 or 3 worlds to find a suitable spot.

[copper bramble]

if i am building in the mistlands then you know i've been abducted and replaced by an impostor

[fossil delta]

I found a rather huge coast line area that had me thinking about building. I just have no real need with all the towers there.

[wintry valve]

I find amusing that you can parry with a bilebomb

[copper bramble]

arsonist loadout

[rugged bridge]

Why build your own base in the mistlands when you can viciously murder and take over the homes of little funny looking people

What they gonna do when I lift the key to their house above my head

[copper bramble]

because i live on a mountain

i live where there is snow

[fossil delta]

There are mountains in the Mistlands. Nice and clear too.

[vagrant iris]

Hello

[mellow reef]

A little piece of me died when I found out I can't actually live in a mountain in vanilla. In, not ON, not hacked into an ugly damp furry hideout. Tunneled in.

[merry pebble]

Quite a few people build castles that are very liveable there 🤔

[gray sand]

Yeah but he wants to tunnel.

[merry pebble]

That is what they ***dont ***want to 😄

-# As far as i decrypted that sentance at least
-# Actually you may be right...

[fossil delta]

Pick the right rock formation and you might be able to pull off something on the small side.

[neon magnet]

You wanted Moria but you got to live in a tiny hole underneath a gray-green potato rock

[tribal trench]

My buddy and I made it to the Mistlands yet again! This time we found a very large patch of territory not covered in mist... and a ton of bugs lol!

[dry dome]

time to make some poison potions to start the swamp : /

anything else that would be helpful?

isnt there a weapons that does aoe damage like a slam good for slimes?

[merry pebble]

Mace is usually enough for them 🙂 but if you want AoE blunt dmg you can make stagbreaker

-# Mate you know you can edit messages without deleting them right? 😄

[chrome badge]

Well if it makes you feel better, you could always ask a mod to validate when something was sent or edited.

It could also be a bit annoying/confusing to receive multiple pings for the same message.

[cyan ginkgo]

this game is way better multiplayer right?

[chrome badge]

Hence the could part

[merry pebble]

Personal preference really 🙂

[chrome badge]

I prefer solo, but I'm also the type to mold the world in very specific ways.

I don't want my friend that fights a troll to just kite it into 20 trees and leave them laying about.

[dry dome]

there a way to put a cart on a boat or no need?

[merry pebble]

No need generally, but you can if you really want to

[chrome badge]

It can work, it's just possible it will break or break the boat if things get chaotic.

[dry dome]

ok ill just make the one above the raft and use storage

only thing i cant portal with is the ore and ingots?

[merry pebble]

Few more things but they come in later 🙂

And are way less used than metals

[dry dome]

ok thanks i am planning to redo my little base and fortify it in a good location once i find a swamp area

Appreciate the tips 🙂

[fossil delta]

Yep. Hope you made those bronze nails.

[dry dome]

Just need a max upgraded copper pickaxe and some more poison potions before i set out

[sand topaz]

viles are easier than I thought

saw one and locked in and its just a glorified bear

fulings are a million times harder

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[shy marlin]

Made it to mistlands no armor no food no metal perma 🤙

[uncut bough]

i got me a full haul of iron in me longboat, hopefully i can make it back home safe

[fossil delta]

Hauling iron usually nets me the most serpent meat.

[uncut bough]

is max lvl fine bow good enough for swamp tier or do i need the huntsman bow?

i would say it is a waste of iron but i got like a longboat full of iron so i would be swimming in iron for a while

actually the only thing that is waste of iron would be iron axe because there are no trees that need iron axe to be chopped down

but them fine bow i think is decent

i got a lot of iron so i am thinking if huntsman bow is worth crafting

ight then i will reconsider

[neon steppe]

craft iron arrows

[uncut bough]

fine bow serves me well for black forest , it will serve me for swawmp too

oh actually huntsman bow is actually lit. tight spread like other late game bow and it has short range hit noise

ight i will craft it

[uncut bough]

actually dont need to since i got like 200 iron arrows just by getting it from chests in sawmp

[verbal mist]

do you have near your farmers for crops to grow?

or better to have at your mainbase?

i mean they will grow half way across the map if your not there?

ok thks

[neon steppe]

just bought karve full of tin back home. it doesn't quite hit the same way as longship full of iron

[fossil delta]

Huntsman bow makes the least noise. So is ideal for sniping and drawing as little attention as possible.

[uncut bough]

tin is easily found near water in black forest so yea probably doesnt hit the same way as elusive iron

boy these wooden sword and wooden spear found in black forest chests has gotta be a troll

no way it deals so little dmg, it cant even kill bird

i actually threw the spear and it hit a bird and it deals 0.6 dmg

it cant even kill a bird holy

[fossil delta]

Not meant for that. Use them with TWIG.

The "Training With Iron Gate" trainer.

[gray sand]

They are meant for either the training dummy or so you can PvP your friends without killing each other.

[worldly violet]

@gray sand

slowmode in the other room. i just mined iron and made iron tools

[gray sand]

How did you get into the Crypts that have iron?

[worldly violet]

i walked

[gray sand]

Through the locked gate?

[worldly violet]

what gate lol?

[gray sand]

Iron is in Swamp.
Crypts in Swamp are locked.
You either glitch through with a chair (not walking) or use the Swamp Key (not killing only first boss).

[worldly violet]

hmm, its been a long time since i was on, all i know is i got to metal

i only played the game a few times, so you're kind of saying stuff i have no idea about

[gray sand]

Did you kill a massive walking ent tree like dude?

[worldly violet]

nah, ive killed a troll, thats the only big thing

[gray sand]

Did you mod the game?

[worldly violet]

no

[gray sand]

Then either A: you are not at iron or B: you killed more than only the first boss.

[worldly violet]

yeah i just checked through my old screenies and vids, its bronze, my bad lmao

[gray sand]

👍

[worldly violet]

either way, my original point is still the same.

[uncut bough]

yall ever seen 2 leviathan at the same place?

[jovial sleet]

Does your boat drift away when you're out of it?

[gray sand]

Max I have seen is 4.

[orchid locust]

catched 3 very close a few times

[gray sand]

Boat dead stops the moment you exit. Jump out whenever you want to anchor it, even at max speed, and it will stay there.

Iron weapons + Black Forest food + Lingering Stamina... something is not adding up in that photo.

[uncut bough]

boy i been sailing in raining ocean to hunt for serpent and they dont appear

they really making this hard to get

finally found 1

[gray sand]

Ok but how do you have a Mistlands mead when you're using Swamp weapons? 😭

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/me-running-monkey-gif-14567920

[shy marlin]

i'm plannin on a run where i get the stone portal before touching any metal (other than the 2 iron) 😎

[gray sand]

-# You lost me at "i" 😏

[shy marlin]

I'm planning on a run where I get the stone portal before touching any metal (other than the 2 iron) 😎.

[gray sand]

Valid.

[shy marlin]

Thanks. I really value and appreciate your opinion and thoughts.

[gray sand]

As you should. I am perfection.

[lunar sapphire]

Sevrahn would Stan by that

[dark coyote]

#screenshots message

[uncut bough]

Gawd i hate that i cant find any 2 star boars to tame. Then i go to swamp a postal code away and 2 star boars spawn. I cant ever find them starred boars in starting zone

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you can only get lucky and find them at certain word walls close to spawn. Plus the old villages.

[wintry valve]

is there a sun in valheim?

[fossil delta]

I've watched it rise and set a few times.

[wintry valve]

Oh yeah, I see it now. I never really noticed it.

Its weird. I did see that theres a moon, but the sun? I couldnt recall seeing one.

I guess its a good thing I dont stare at it.

[fluid cove]

you can make a sundial to tell time

each day is 30 mins long with 21m of daylight and 9m of nighttime

[fossil delta]

It's easiest to see on the water, along coastlines, in big meadow fields, and on the plains.

[wintry valve]

Another question: is the exp you make by bullying a twig the same as hitting regular stuff?

[fossil delta]

Seems to. But I haven't looked at the wiki.

[copper bramble]

i think yes

with the wooden atgeir i've trained my polearm skill past 80 while waiting for stuff to smelt in the background

[wintry valve]

im gonna stuff it with arrows

[fossil delta]

The target is for that

[gray sand]

Smelting is when I train Swim 😄

[copper bramble]

use the finewood bow with wood arrowas and your best stamina foods

[copper bramble]

the target returns your arrows but gives less xp per hit

[fossil delta]

You can recover any arrow from the target.

[copper bramble]

yes but less xp

[gray sand]

Wait... if you get Swimming Trinket and use Eikthyr it costs no stamina to swim.
New training tech 👀

[fossil delta]

Shooting g TWIG gives xp?

[copper bramble]

i think the xp gain from the bow targets should scale with distance. so if you hit a 10 from way far away you should get rewarded accordingly

[copper bramble]

yes

faster xp gain but no return on arrows

[fossil delta]

I'll have to try that with the crossbow. That levels sssslllloooowwww.

[copper bramble]

fr

it's because of the reload

[wintry valve]

me storing bloodbags and needles in the same chest

[gray sand]

Even when fully leveled the bow is better because of how hard the attspd scales 🙁

[wintry valve]

surely nothing nasty is going to happen

[fossil delta]

Yeah, 5 seconds.

[copper bramble]

honestly it would be really nice if the crossbows stayed loaded after switching weapons or holstering them

[gray sand]

Nah

[copper bramble]

yuh

[gray sand]

Nah

[copper bramble]

yuh uh

[gray sand]

Nah

[copper bramble]

yuh uh

[gray sand]

Nah

[copper bramble]

yuj

[fossil delta]

If you get the crossbow down to about 2 seconds... might be my new favorite weapon.

[copper bramble]

i already like the crossbows more because in my current game i went super hard into melee combat

[wintry valve]

its a weird argument

[copper bramble]

as in i didn't really ever use bows

[wintry valve]

ah

[copper bramble]

i only used bows when i had to. i.e. versus drakes snd moder

[lyric shale]

I feel like magic in the game is a little odd

It’s such a jump from melee or ranged weaponry to magic since it’s so late game

[copper bramble]

yeah

[gray sand]

6/9 is mid, not late

[copper bramble]

i tried out a full magic build but i didn't like it that much

maybe when i get the trollstav

i could really see myself using that

[fossil delta]

I'm just staying melee. I am not going to just throw all those skills away.

[copper bramble]

same for me as well

shame that there's no ashlands tier polearm

[fossil delta]

I thought there is. Maybe I'm just confusing it with the Mistlands version.

[copper bramble]

himminafl in mistlands is the highest tier polearm currently

[gray sand]

Meadows, Mountain, and Ashlands don't have atgeir.

[fossil delta]

So they like to skip every so often.

[copper bramble]

meadows is fair to not have an atgeir but mountains and ashlands...

[gray sand]

Not every biome needs every weapon.

Meadows, Forest, Ashlands don't have battleaxe.

[copper bramble]

but every biome has a club

why do clubs get special treatment

[gray sand]

Every biome has a club and an axe, and everything after Meadows has a sword, yes.

Every biome has every basic weapon.

[copper bramble]

club worshippers confirmed

[gray sand]

??????????????????????????

[copper bramble]

me too i worship clubs

[fossil delta]

Probably because 2 handers tend to do more damage and better crowd control.

[gray sand]

Clearly you haven't seen how much I phawking hate Frostner if you think I worship clubs. 😄

[fossil delta]

He does.

[copper bramble]

wdym frostner is the goat

[gray sand]

Worst weapon in the game, but ok.

[copper bramble]

ragebait

[gray sand]

My actual opinion, but ok.

My weapon should never make it harder for me to kill people.

[fossil delta]

I prefer Porcupine, but I use Frostner.

[copper bramble]

me and my frostner fuse into one being

we work

[gray sand]

Porcufrost when?

[gray sand]

You enjoy walking between every hit due to colossal knockback that prevents you from killing things faster?

[copper bramble]

i hate porcupine

[copper bramble]

normal hit -> secondary hit

glue them in place first and then smack with full power

[fossil delta]

I do not like Frostners knock back

[gray sand]

Glue HOW?

I do normal hit, they are now out of reach.

GREAT weapon....

[wintry valve]

I think people who like frostner specifically like the knockback because its good for crowd control

[copper bramble]

frost damage slowdown

[gray sand]

Yeah, but they are slowed over there... So now I have to walk.

[wintry valve]

have you tried hitting them with a wall?

[copper bramble]

yeah hold W for 0.3 seconds and then special attack

[gray sand]

Compared to every other weapon I could use where there is no holding W and I get another hit in during that 0.3s, killing the target faster.

[gray sand]

If Frostner was a two-hander I would love it.

[copper bramble]

deep north two hander hammer with frost

could be fun

i want more frost weapons bc i crave that slowdown effect

[gray sand]

Just use green and slow them to zero.

[wintry valve]

I with two handed hammers behaved more like, say, a battleaxe. The ground slam move should be a secondary attack

[gray sand]

That too.

But the two-handed hammer being the "create space with massive knockback" weapon is a good identity if the one-handed maces didn't punt people.

One-handed secondary should punt, yes. But the primary should not.

[copper bramble]

i don't want it to be a % chance

i want the slow 100% of the time

[copper bramble]

ok now i will mention. in my current run i use polearms as prinary but keep a frostner and shield on me for backup

[gray sand]

Axes and Spears are my mainstays.

[copper bramble]

spears for me in meadows/black forest

[gray sand]

Spear -> Spear -> Spear (Mace for Bonemass) -> Spear -> Plains with no Spear 😭

Spear + Buckler is just a vibe.

[copper bramble]

not every biome needs a certain weapon

[gray sand]

True.

[fossil delta]

I've never used an atgeir for a playthrough. Played around with them, but I just find them too odd.

[copper bramble]

atgeirs my beloved

[gray sand]

They save you an inventory slot by not needing a shield.

[copper bramble]

you can start the 3 hit combo earlier bc you have longer reach

[copper bramble]

i've never done a swords playthrough

[gray sand]

Two-handed swords finally got fixed.
Now they just need to fix one-handers.

[fossil delta]

I only use swords from plains onwards. Doubt I will ever use them for a full run.

[copper bramble]

i would like the 2 hander swords but i would have to grind the skill level up

[gray sand]

I mean... it's not really a chore. Getting Krom in Mistlands and you'll naturally put really good levels on it just from... being in the Mistlands.

[copper bramble]

next run

i wouldn't switch bc i have almost 90 in polearms

[fossil delta]

I have pretty high skill i. Several weapon.

[gray sand]

You don't want the achievement for having 100 in all skills? 😏

Smiffe I swear to Odin if that isn't an achievement in 1.0.....

[copper bramble]

i don't care about achievements

i have almost 2k hours in another game and i've been sitting at 80% achievement completion bc the last ones are bs

[gray sand]

Oh I rarely 100% games.

[copper bramble]

well the game i have 2k in is one of those that can't be 100% completed like singleplayer games

it's deep rock galactic, every game/mission is randomly generated and no two are ever alike

comparable to "100% minecraft means you do everything in every seed"

valheim is in the similar category, random seeds with tons to do. building, challenges etc

[fossil delta]

I don't care about achievements. If I get them, I get them. If not, so what?

[copper bramble]

the only way i'd get 100 in all skills is with commands

i hate grinding so i could never

i have better things to do

[fossil delta]

Me neither.

[gray sand]

"I hate grinding"
-Plays game based on grinding.

😄

[copper bramble]

i mean sure if you want me to stop playing valheim

sure i'll uninstall

[wintry valve]

dont pay attention to him

he likes to argue

[copper bramble]

ik he's trolling

[gray sand]

How tf was "Uninstall" your conclusion?

[fossil delta]

There is grinding, then there is grinding all skills to 100. Never going to do it.

[copper bramble]

valheim isn't a grinding simulator type of game

[gray sand]

Health Pots + Swim Trinket + Eikthyr = Swim to Ashlands 😛

[copper bramble]

if any survival game with resource gathering is a grinding game then like what

[gray sand]

Are we playing the same game? 🤔

[copper bramble]

boiling water ☝️ 🤓

[wintry valve]

the grind in valheim can be beat by doing strategies

[gray sand]

The entire loop is:
Grind biome materials -> Build biome stuff -> Kill biome boss.
Go next and repeat.

[gray sand]

Health Pots.

[copper bramble]

no because i have portsl items enabled so that i ease the time spent on moving items

[wintry valve]

the skill grind, not so much. Besides, I'd say you arent meant to max out certain skills.

[gray sand]

Where did I mention "move items" in the loop? 🤔

[copper bramble]

i edit world modifiers to reduce time spent on grinding

you play on 0.5x resources?

[gray sand]

No? Just 1x.

[copper bramble]

on 1x it takes a bit too long to get stuff for my liking

1.5x resources and portal items. thst's how i bare the "grind"

it doesn't feel like grinding then, that's why i like the game

if it actually felt like grinding i would stop playing

game good, me play
game bad, me not play

[wintry valve]

but why is game good?

[fluid cove]

has the devs ever talked about 1.0 achievements

[fathom gulch]

Is there anywhere else to find bees other than the meadows?

[lunar sapphire]

black forest structures on rare occasions

[coarse gust]

never seen one in bf over my 1200 hours...

so dont count on ever finding any

[fossil delta]

They are pretty rare and I only find them in the big tower with the terrace and sometimes a fine wood chair and maybe a table inside.

Never found them in any of the other styles.

[copper bramble]

i've found more archer skeletons shooting me from under the ground than bees in black forest

[fossil delta]

Well, they exist. So keep your ears sharp.

[copper bramble]

clip of underground archer in #memes-and-clips

[fossil delta]

If it helps I am within 50 hours of having 5000 hours.

[coarse gust]

dont think ive found a skeleton in a stone, but i have found a few laughing rocks in the plains

[fossil delta]

Yeah, seems like nearly all the smaller mobs can get trapped in rocks. At least up to the Mistlands. Haven't seen any in the two newest biomes. Yet.

[copper bramble]

in my world there are 7 greydwarves in a pit trapped by me

for blocking skill

[coarse gust]

would be funny if they dug themselves deeper with each throw

[copper bramble]

world modifier where enemies can deal terrain damage?

terrain wall nerf

[coarse gust]

i dont think most enemies should be able to
only lox, troll, fuling berserker, seeker soldier and such
It would make trolls and some other creatures less of a joke to deal with.
and mix up base defence.

a mote would still be nearly just as effective tho

tho... i see why the devs might not want mobs to do this.
the game would end up looking like a propper warzone after a few hundred days.
unless you actively go around fixing the terrain damage.
or it somehow fixes itself with time

[near furnace]

more terrain damaging mobs would just flatten the entire world 8 meters

[fossil delta]

I've noticed 2 so far. Soldiers and lava blobs.

[rugged bridge]

Lox have the stupidest mechanic by far of all the creatures mentioned in that list

[thin sky]

This game refunds materials of destructed buildings, correct? I am a returning player but I frogor 💀

[rugged bridge]

Lightly grazes me with its body and sends me flying 20 meters away from it all the while dealing 0.8 damage

[rugged bridge]

Yeah, it does

[thin sky]

cool ty

[rugged bridge]

Still waiting for the day I can deconstruct my boat instead of having to beat it down

[thin sky]

I stopped playing bc I didn't like the whole not being able to take metals with you in portals
it happened naturally though I didn't rage quit, just kinda stopped playing like how you lose touch with an old friend, you don't think ab it it just happens
coming back to it now with that setting adjusted bc while it may not be the intended experience it sure is a hell of a lot better than no experience

[chrome badge]

Keep waiting, it's intentional 😛

[rugged bridge]

Something being intentional does not disqualify it from being stupid unfortunately

[rugged bridge]

A lot of people would agree

[chrome badge]

It's actually preventative, so someone doesn't destroy their boat and all their ores sink to the ocean floor

[rugged bridge]

Ah yes, because I'm running around with a hammer in my hands and middle clicking everywhere when I'm ferrying ores

[thin sky]

yeah. i generally avoid changing settings the devs explicitly indicate aren't the intended experience but if it reaches a point where it no longer makes the game enjoyable then well intended experience be damned lol

[rugged bridge]

[rugged bridge]

You could say that in a sense portalling ores is now part of the intended experience but only for the ashlands

Stone portal was added because no sane man would survive boating ores from there back to base

[chrome badge]

It happens, just because you see it as farfetched doesn't mean that inconvenience should be one click away.

It takes less than 5 seconds to break it down anyways.

[polar osprey]

You unlock portals later that you can teleport metal through...

[thin sky]

also the game is peer pressuring me because this is my first ever savefile and I am either past or near day 100 with not one single death. the pressure is on to keep the streak for flex purposes

[rugged bridge]

Inconvenience is one click away for a lot of things in valheim, "accidentally" deconstructing boats is among the far less problematic inconveniences thanks

I'll bring up the lack of potion hotkeys and the general stability mechanic as examples for inconveniences one click away

[thin sky]

in the meantime though I'm not having a good time bc it feels tedious so I understand that but I'd rather give up on that detail than give up on the game itself

I gave it all an honest to god chance

tried to go along with it, not for me

[obtuse granite]

Gents what is the best food/weapon setup for surviving mistlands/early ashlands

[chrome badge]

Alright, you seem a bit agitated, just trying to explain the reasoning.

[thin sky]

I have pretty bad ADHD so I already struggle with putting things off IRL because they mildly inconvenience me, I don't want more of that in a game yk

[rugged bridge]

Nah, just my personality, I could care less, valheim's development team isn't the kind that takes a lot of feedback so brainstorming and wishful thinking in here is the closest you can get

[thin sky]

I'll end up with putting off metal mining, running out and then forcing myself out there just to go get already mined metals.

[rugged bridge]

Get a friend to play through the game with, it'll make your experience a lot more comfortable

[polar osprey]

If you farm a full boat you don't need to keep going back and forth

[chrome badge]

They're an indie team that stays true to their original vision, it's not that they don't take feedback, they just have specific things that are intentional.

[rugged bridge]

Lots of tips and tricks you can utilize to move ores around easier if you have a friend (portable mule) with you

[chrome badge]

There's so many points at which feedback is taken from players.

[thin sky]

See that would require having friends that have time to play games and/or are into the same kinda games as you.
My best friend is:

1. not a big Gamer™ and usually only plays the games we play together
2. has a "job" and a "wife" and "responsibilities" and is doing a further "bachelors" education. sounds like a load of horse shit to me but what can you do. get your priorities straight, am I right

[rugged bridge]

Don't get me wrong, it's good that they stay true to their original vision, lots of small studios turn corrupt and start adding microtransactions at every turn once they get a taste of cash and fame. But that doesn't mean closing off community feedback is a good choice either

[thin sky]

simply be like me with 0 time management skills so you end up playing games while you really should be doing work but still end up getting it (college work) all done in the end because you have good memory but with 10x the stress of normal education

[rugged bridge]

I've yet to see anything other than that twitter post about the inventory system, which currently seems to be the most complained about thing

[chrome badge]

They don't do that either, there's 3 rounds of feedback for every major update. Private testing, public testing, and release.

All of which result in patches altering things based on feedback, otherwise they wouldn't do any testing, or even early access for that matter.

[thin sky]

yeah that's fine tbh. in cases like these though it may be good to have a toggle in f.e. world modifiers that explicitly states it deviates from the intended experience

but w/e, things like that can be modded in if need be

[rugged bridge]

Such as? You could bring up the ashlands nerf as one of the things feedback changed, but despite it being generally considered a good change, it doesn't fit everyone. What johny said about toggles is a good option

[chrome badge]

Most definitely, I just hope players don't opt into mods before giving feedback on the game, it's crucial to molding the experience for the better.

[rugged bridge]

Not to mention you can already deconstruct carts, there's just no reason you shouldn't be able to do the same with boats, it's not like you're gonna put a workbench on the ocean surface and accidentally deconstruct it lol

Actually that was a mod for carts I used, nevermind

Goes to show how much I dislike the mechanics

[chrome badge]

Yeah I was going to say 😛 It should just point to the intention there though.

[rugged bridge]

I really don't see it, you can't accidentally break it down with a hammer unless you're in workbench range

[chrome badge]

Right, if you're repairing your boat after an attack, you could misclick and drop hours of work into the ocean. Adding a couple seconds for deconstruction is helping to prevent that.

[rugged bridge]

That's why I find it quite silly it's "preventative" when the scenario where you accidentally break it down and it causes a big problem (ores/parts sinking deep down in the ocean) is very rare

[rugged bridge]

On this note, lots of players seem to be pretty pissed about mistlands and the general mist mechanic, those who are bothered enough by it opt for that popular wisplight mod, seems like something they should look into if they really take in feedback

[chrome badge]

There's been plenty of statements about why they can't alter that, but it boils down to performance concerns.

[rugged bridge]

As mentioned before, even a toggle helps

[rugged bridge]

Mind elaborating on the performance concerns? Or letting me know where I can find some of the statements at least

[chrome badge]

Dynamic mist clearing has been tested rigorously, on thousands of different systems, in hundreds of different scenarios, in solo or in multiplayer. Dynamic mist clearing is a heavy process, coupled with instance counts, additional players, enemies & mobs, it can weigh massively on a system with low end specs.

#suggestion-discussion message

#suggestion-discussion message

[rugged bridge]

Might be a bit extreme, but perhaps instead of trying to go down the dynamic mist clearing route a toggle could exist in the world modifiers that completely removes the mist, although it kills the wisplight's use and the biome's name, it's the only idea I have at the moment other than enlarging the light's radius that could somewhat appease the people against it

[chrome badge]

People against it have plenty of options, there's chunks of mistlands that generate with no mist, there's wisp torches that permanently clear it, I myself have a mistlands biome completely clear of all mist with just torches.

[obtuse granite]

mistlands with no mist is Fire

[rugged bridge]

Seems pretty clear from people quitting and the complaints about it that those options are not enjoyable for them

[ember egret]

it's a shame that the engine basically doesn't allow tunneling because a hollow earth/agartha type biome is very norse and would be very cool

[chrome badge]

I happened upon a massive chunk with no mist when first sailing it there, it made it much easier.

[rugged bridge]

Sure, the wisp torches are actually a good option when you look at it like that, but their radius is pretty small

[chrome badge]

I was looking at all the feedback and it came down to growing pains in most cases, it's just a new challenge to navigate.

[obtuse granite]

has anyone maxed out a skill yet like completely legit no cheats?

[ember egret]

I think the closest I got was 62 in Run

[merry pebble]

Quite a few people, yep

[chrome badge]

Yeah, my running and jumping usually maxes out around plains.

[obtuse granite]

what about like blocking or sword or another weapon not just running

[rugged bridge]

So was ashlands but it was allegedly nerfed, personally found it pretty tolerable during the beta client, haven't reached it yet to see how much is different since then

[rugged bridge]

Got running and axes maxed out in current playthrough at plains

[ember egret]

am I crazy or did the bear get it's health cut by a certain amount? I remember on launch it had more health than it does now

[chrome badge]

Yeah, they just brought the challenge down a bit to appease some of the lesser skilled audience, some want the nerf reverted in higher difficulties.

[obtuse granite]

like i got 1400hrs and never been close to maxing out a weapon skill

[merry pebble]

It is very empty enemy-vise compared to ptb

[obtuse granite]

thats pre cool worth it you reckcon or difference small?

[rugged bridge]

I don't like the sound of that lol

[chrome badge]

The coasts aren't as populated, but the inland of the ashlands can still be pretty crowded.

[rugged bridge]

It's definitely noticeable, skill only grew that high since I usually pick out the playstyle I intend to keep throughout the game before even starting the playthrough

Heard there were two new battleaxes added for the plains and mistlands so I decided to give the weapon type a try

[rugged bridge]

Yeah I can see why the change would be better suited for worse players, beta client landing on the shore was just a straight up wave defense game mode, enjoyable though, for me

[chrome badge]

I love battleaxes, their secondary is amazingly flexible.

[rugged bridge]

Makes for a good golf club on fulings

[merry pebble]

Same with clubs and atgeirs

[ember egret]

I remember sailing to the plains for the first time I had to struggle with the deathsquitos while not crashing the boat which was fun

[obtuse granite]

ive never tried them hey i just love parrying in valheim

[chrome badge]

Yeah, to be fair the spawners can still generate close to each other and emulate that feeling in some places.

[rugged bridge]

Had a few experiences like that before, the feeling was pretty much what the biome was meant to be, hell

Got me pondering how the difficulty will increase in the deep north if it's like this right now

[chrome badge]

My favorite Ashlands moment was facing a Morgen in Very Hard difficulty, I mustve had 40 charred following me around while trying to kill it.

[rugged bridge]

Arrows flying around you, hellish skeletons slowly making their way to you, all while a rolling ball of bones wants you dead, sounds fun

Makes the feeling of getting through it even more rewarding

[chrome badge]

The only relief during the fight were random Dvergr that sacrificed everything for me, RIP.

[rugged bridge]

I truly hope those little guys will be in the DN

Friendly NPCs were an enjoyable addition

Not counting the traders you visit once in a blue moon and the birds I never even talked to

[chrome badge]

Yeah, maybe some way to interact a bit deeper with them. So many players have suggested a way to stop their aggression if you anger them.

[rugged bridge]

Could be cool if you gave them an item they enjoyed and ended up following you, have your own squad marching behind

[chrome badge]

Also watching them run into lava is really sad.

[obtuse granite]

i want to do a Hard run but i know im too trash for that

[merry pebble]

Cant know that if you dont try 😄

[ember egret]

I severely underestimated how hard playing without the map is

[neon magnet]

I'm considering doing that. Feels like it would be nice in a lot of ways. The world likely feels much more mysterious etc

But then I go "it makes sense that my character would at least try to map things out - so me drawing a map of my own outside of the game makes sense". And then I go "but if me doing that makes sense, why not let the character do that on their own.. which kind of is what the ingame map is"

I know it's not exactly the same tho. Ingame map is exact and in addition to the map you also have the GPS functionality of it 😄

[pliant hatch]

I've seen someone use a mod that would give players the option to play without map; however, they are able to bring up a stylistic one at the cartography table.

Meaning you can study your map at home, but not when you're away.
Kinda feels like the best of both worlds to me.

I'm certain that players in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 could help with that any better.

[ember egret]

the thing I've come up with is using the hoe and signs to make paths and landmarks

there's now actually a point to doing that rather than doing it just for the aesthetic

[neon magnet]

Oh yeah. I kind of do that anyway. I think the real issue without a map is keeping track of multiple landmasses etc

[ember egret]

I make big structures and docks to mark where stuff is

I find it changes your mindset to the game completely, you have to reshape the world in your image from day one

[zealous bridge]

I enjoy doing orienteering so I did a “external map” play through where I had the world map from a website that I could look at and orienteer myself in the world. Fun and not too much more challenging

[chrome badge]

I couldn't do it, too much of my fun revolves around discovering things and marking the map 😛

[rugged mango]

I'm not there yet but there is just no way that Ashlands is worse than Mistlands.

[bitter sorrel]

Hi! I joined this server because I had a question, but I got distracted by one of the lead-up questions that joining the server promps, and now I realize that maybe I should be re-evalualted for ADD/ADHD or something similar. I have no idea what I came here for.

It was some stupid early game complaint that I'm sure you guys get all the time lol

[merry pebble]

Well, if you remember let us know 🙂

[pliant hatch]

In that case: Welcome.

Many here joined and have no idea what they came here for, so you're absolutely in the right place!

[bitter sorrel]

Ofsalgjas Oh oh, it was

I was wondering why, if you build a workbench and then walls, and then accidently destroy the workbench while breaking stuff, like, is that just an unfortunate pain in the butt now you have to rebuild a workbench to break the rest kind of thing? Why is it like that?

[bitter sorrel]

Thank you! Happy to be here! I

Sorry, stupid big hands\

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this game

[merry pebble]

Besause the workbench is what enables you to build and destroy stuff 🙂

[bitter sorrel]

@merry pebble Alright, so I'm not doing anything wrong, just make sure to hit the workbench last lol, got it

[merry pebble]

Exactly 😄

[bitter sorrel]

Olay one sec before I ask my other question

I had to make sure my friend wasn't on this server >< He's the one who introduced me to the game

OH should I jump over to the help channel?

My friend yesteerday was just like "Oh from the beginning skip everything till you find flint. Also, this is where I'm at." And he showed me stuff like chitin (I think that's how it's spelled) weapons, and was talking about sailing ><

[chrome badge]

Terrible advice tbh, you should be allowed to discover at your own pace and feel the flow of the game.

[merry pebble]

Tbh if you play without spoilers you will enjoy the first playthrough much more 🙂

[neon steppe]

that's just lands

[chrome badge]

Yeah, and Ashlands is fire 😮

[bitter sorrel]

My friend is a very... how do I put this.. direct person? Results are what he looks for most.

[polar osprey]

Ashlands without the ash

[chrome badge]

My advice would be to play solo as well, so you aren't pulled in directions without clear motivations.

[bitter sorrel]

That's not even what I mean to say ><

Like

He, as a friend, wants what is best for me, so he wants to help me play Valheim as effiently as possible? If that makes sense

[chrome badge]

Yeah, but some people enjoy the slow burn playstyle, there's plenty of little tasks to do, as well as tasks that will progress you, and both can be engaging/fun.

[neon steppe]

you can only play the game first time once and effiently might not be the most fun way for everyone

all the crazy fails from my first play are the things i remember the most

[bitter sorrel]

nods

[neon steppe]

my first death to bees because i didnt realize i was stung by them was 👌

[bitter sorrel]

I haven't died to bees yet

[neon steppe]

dying and failing might be frustrating but it also makes some of the best memories in games especially these kind of games where everything can happen

[bitter sorrel]

xD

Alright, before I jump back in, there's no way to rename save characters, right?

[neon steppe]

https://geekstrom.de/valheim/fch/

[bitter sorrel]

Oh shi lol

Well, no going back then

[cosmic summit]

do 2 star asksvin show up more at night?

[merry pebble]

They show only at night 🙂

[fiery oak]

i jus bought this game a few minutes ago? is it soloable?

[rugged bridge]

Yes, just stick to the usual advice of preparing ahead of time for things you're gonna tackle on and you'll be fine

Don't be surprised if the difficulty goes up the further you progress

[merry pebble]

Yep, its a solo game with option of co-op if you want to, so it is designed with primarily singleplayer in mind 🙂

[spice pendant]

anyone wanna play? (im german)

dm me

[merry pebble]

Look no further than #1024264966712340510 😄

[bitter sorrel]

I just... (I think?) wandered too close to the dark wood before I was ready and am now back to nothing

[cosmic summit]

When I start breeding asksvin shoukd I pen them up or do they do ok roaming freely around my base?

Id keep a few eggs in a well protected box just in case a raid wipes them out

[merry pebble]

I would be for a pen, since they can be quite destructive if they see any enemy

[cosmic summit]

Can they see through copper cage walls?

[merry pebble]

Not sure, but i would think yes

[plush umbra]

Deep north out yet??

[tacit crystal]

It would have been announced in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506 if that was the case. Also, no updates are coming for the rest of the year.

[plush umbra]

😭

[shy marlin]

Hopefully 2026 🤞

[plush umbra]

Ive been to busy to keep up with announcements im in to many discords that do that

[plush umbra]

For real, hopefully before my birthday In February

[tacit crystal]

Depends on if you have played before or after the Call to Arms update, I can recommend starting new run as the update did indeed make huge difference for the whole playthrough.

[plush umbra]

Before sadly we have 1 boss left to fight 😅😅

We will portal kill him and start a new world for new biome maybe, especially since we had a 3rd guy join us right before mistlands

I need to build a new pc tho cuz my laptop cant run games anymore I think something is lose or needs new thermal paste but everyone ik wont touch it for the simple fact its a laptop

[wintry valve]

I just got to the ashlands

I understand its random, and I just got unlucky, but I dont think its cool to put me right beside a level two spawner. I just got there ffs!

[plush umbra]

Its better if u go into the middle, we made mistake of coming in from the side and just got bombarded hard

[wintry valve]

its fine, one of the rock thrower slapped me and I died

[plush umbra]

Helps to use frost staff and dodge mobs and take out spawners near where u land

It'll slow down mobs if they get to close as well

If u see askvin early just run tbh

[wintry valve]

an askvin is the least of my issues now

im being chased by two stars warriors

[plush umbra]

Yeah frost staff helps slow em down

But ive noticed it basically doesn't work on askvin hence why I said that

But a frost staff allows u to slow enemies and take out spawners quick

About 100 eitir nonstop frost staff firing at it should put a 2* warrior down

If u hit 99% ur shots anyway gotta be a little close

But you can walk around them as u do it and they cant find ur hitbox

Jeez this making me wanna get on but I cant 😭🤣

[wintry valve]

I can just run around askvins, they dont turn fast enough

[plush umbra]

How can u outrun an askvin and not a warrior

[wintry valve]

I can outrun a warrior

[plush umbra]

Okok

[wintry valve]

I cant outrun five of them

they are all two stars

[plush umbra]

I'm telling u frost staff will be ur best friend bro

[wintry valve]

man, I dont have that, alright

I have an axe and a bow

[plush umbra]

Easy to make tbh you need frost glands and a couple other cheap stuff

Been a while i forget exactly

[wintry valve]

yeah and i need magic food and probably that magic armor and all that, I dont have that

[plush umbra]

I dont use eitir armor much

[wintry valve]

besides, I dont want to slow them, I want to kill them

[plush umbra]

Yes you can do both

I explained this already

[plush umbra]

^

[pliant hatch]

If you got a load of 2 ⭐ warriors on your arse, you may have run into Lord Retho's place.

Because I can't think of another reason why a whole gang of 2 ⭐ monsters would be in one place.

[plush umbra]

Letting them spawn and not killing them

[wintry valve]

I know its a lord reto's place. There was a spawner. Im just complaining about my rotten luck

[plush umbra]

Ive seen it before

[merry pebble]

For groups of enemies the staff of embers will be better than frost 🙂

[plush umbra]

Hell it will 😅😭🤣

I thought the same thing when I made it

Learned real fast not to

[merry pebble]

The aoe is very good for this aplication 🙂

[plush umbra]

Uhhhh idk what u did to ur staff but no no it is not

[wintry valve]

I thought my portal was covered

[plush umbra]

It barely does anything takes soooooo much eitir to let off the amount of shots to make it effective

So much

[wintry valve]

a bit of ember fell on it, and turned the finewood into coal

[plush umbra]

U cant even knock trees down with it thatd make it decent

[merry pebble]

Frost staff shines against single enemies, but for groups ember staff is sipply better 😄

[plush umbra]

Its like throwing paper in a fire

[tacit crystal]

Especially against wet enemies. 💦 ❄️

[plush umbra]

And if u have the ability to use ur eitir and stam wisely and be able to stagger it you could have 10 2* warriors and just walk around them slow em down and put em out

[wintry valve]

can we find finewood in the ashland?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[plush umbra]

Not hard if u know how to move around

[wintry valve]

why is this game so annoying!?

[plush umbra]

Different biomes have different wood...

[merry pebble]

And some have the same

[wintry valve]

some of them share the same wood! or have drops or something

there's finewood in the mistland, plains, meadows

[merry pebble]

I dont believe it is in mistlands 🤔 or at least i dont remember any source atm

[wintry valve]

you can find some in dverger outposts

At least im pretty sure you can

[merry pebble]

Ah, maybe from funriture, tho i didnt really destroy much of it so not sure

[tacit crystal]

Boxes that hold soft tissue, yes.

[pliant hatch]

Well, the common wood is the only one you can find in all biomes, but Ashland, if you chop down trees.

Finewood is found in Meadows and Plains. And sometimes in the Black Forest and Swamp if you're able to destroy either furniture or a shipwreck.

[wintry valve]

well, time to just leave teh ashland by boat

[pliant hatch]

I don't think I ever got it from destroying the boxes with soft tissue, though.

[wintry valve]

what a waste of time

I cant leave

[copper bramble]

i break them with throwing refined eitr next to them

[pliant hatch]

No offence, but it's only a waste of time if you haven't learned from this experience.
If you did, however, you will get back to the Ashlands with better gear and food at some point and conquer it.

[wintry valve]

Its not my first rodeo with the ashland

[copper bramble]

i worship the norse god of ionizing radiation. i carry a stack of nuclear waste where ever i go in mistlands

[wintry valve]

I literally have the best gear I can get right now. And best food. My only portal got burned down because a tiny bit was uncovered and I cant rebuild it

[merry pebble]

Ah, mistlands has wards 😄 there you can get finewood

Same ashlands

[wintry valve]

yeah well theres a bonemaw in the way so im kind of stuck

[tacit crystal]

Good luck finding and breaking 20 wards in Ashlands.

[merry pebble]

@wintry valve go get some wards 😄

[wintry valve]

screw that, the dwarves are going to melt me with their dwarf lasers

[merry pebble]

Pretty sure they give you more than 1 finewood 😏

[wintry valve]

and anyway im surrounded by exclusively starred enemies

and i no longer have my rested bonus

[copper bramble]

crates, tables, chairs also drop finewood

honestly if i take time destroying the outposts it prolly means i'm after black marble the most

i already have a full barrel of it from taking out a ribcage and 2 skulls

[tacit crystal]

Iirc they drop only 1 of each material in Dvergr outposts (finewood, greydwarf eye and surtling core).

[merry pebble]

Hmm, i think i remember them giving me more 🤔
will go test real quick

[fossil delta]

Most I get is copper scraps and sometimes bars
Fine wood, very little of it, comes from things previously listed. Cores come from the ward and broken lights.

[merry pebble]

You are correct 😄 i was remembering it wrong

[orchid locust]

yeah, stuff you didn't build yourself gives you back less resources when destroyed, probably to avoid abusing?

[fossil delta]

Likely. Doesn't make much sense otherwise.

[merry pebble]

I knew it gave less 😄 but for some reason i remembered it gave around 5-6 fine wood, not 1

[fossil delta]

You probably rembered totals.

[merry pebble]

That one would be 3 tho xD

[fossil delta]

There are usually around 6 crates. Then I think the chairs give 1 each. Not sure about tables.

Or beds

[merry pebble]

The crates dont give any 🙂

-# At least the ashlands ones

[fossil delta]

I think meads barrels give it too, plus tasty mead

Yeah, it's not like I inventory this stuff. It's, OK, this is what I now have.

[wintry valve]

Ive been thonking of a trinket idea

It doesnt proc anything, but instead gives you 1% more damage per 10 adrenalin, but also makes you lose adrenalin 1% faster per adrenalin

[tacit crystal]

Yeah those give ashwood.

[neon steppe]

my pigs keep having babies in the corner of the pen

so piggies born outside the walls

[fossil delta]

Add another ring of walls to protect them. It's what I do.

It irritatingly happens often.

[neon steppe]

i guess i have to even tho i dont like the aesthethics of that 😂

ooh finally got bear trophy, now just need to decide headpiece or pendant

[fossil delta]

If your going to use the armor, make it. I rarely get that trinket to activate.

[neon steppe]

headdress it is then!

oh god, i crafted the headdress and instantly died for the first time 😂

can't blame the berserk status thought, i accidentally ran into the border of plains and 1 feet into it deathsquito got me

and i got my portal in my inventory, and ship is on the shore there, fun!

atleast i have troll headdress to wear when i raft back 🙂

[sand topaz]

i love them tar blobs

they seek destruction anywhere so they are a perfect scapegoat

[foggy glacier]

That's why 2 portals. Drop 1 as soon as your ship is safe and keep another for exploring.

[fossil delta]

I just use one. If I decide I need another one I just go back and get it.

[heady parcel]

Is there any way to tell the time in-game, apart from watching the sun? I'm in my first infested mine, low on food and definitely not equipped to handle mistlands night out in the open...

Nah, gotta run. Greater chances of survival than running without food later...

[merry pebble]

I usually rely on the rested timer, day is 21 minutes long and night 9 minutes iirc so you can keep the time using that

[neon magnet]

I wonder what the in-universe lore explanation for why parrying a ranged attack staggers the enemy would be

[fossil delta]

Or things like starting the timer on your phone/watch/etc... when the day starts.

[gray sand]

They took it away and things were good.
People bitched, they put it back in.

Official quote from the devs "not logical, but fun!"

[dry dome]

Ok i think im ready for the swamp. Going to rock shield mac and fully upgraded fine bow till i get the better bow from swamp. Going to start a more serious base with moat and briodge for defense against raids too, i suck at bases so we'll see how it goes : /

[heady parcel]

Oh, when was that? Way back?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, at least 3 years ago, maybe 4.

[heady parcel]

They are stupefied by your blazing skills!

Like the overacting guys doing peasants in old samurai films

Hah, made it out of the Mistlands to my little fob hut in the adjacent black forest. Was welcomed back by a two-star troll

Had to do a no-fuckabout-atgeir-offence takedown

[fossil delta]

Nice! Those are rare. I've seen maybe 6.

[heady parcel]

I am a better player now than last time I saw one, kept it staggered so I could regenerate some stamina and stagger it again. Can't have it smashing up my hut!

Last time I saw one there was a corpse run and some cursing

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure something like that happened to me as well. The one I really remember is the 1 star troll nailing me as I came out of a portal into my little fort. I lived but had to rebuild pretty much everything.

[heady parcel]

They're so bloody destructive!

Ah well, mission accomplished this run, found a good spot for a shroom farm near the coast, with roots nearby. Also stumbled on a mine, just two cores but it's a start. Good first mistlands incursion. No-portals is going to make the shroom and sap farming a bit awkward. But at least I don't use magic so I don't need THAT much sap...

Now I just need to locate some dvergr with an extractor, not seen any outposts yet, just the odd rogue standing about alone. Poor sods.

[fossil delta]

Still need a decent amount, but yeah, considerably less than going mage

[heady parcel]

Hah, thought I had stained my screen with something and tried to scrub it clean, was a pufferfish suspended in mid-air. It apparently missed that the wave it rode receded...

[neon steppe]

founding two star troll early would be so nice

fast copper mining and wood cutting for free!

[heady parcel]

By the time you run into those you shouldn't need that much of either tbh

[fossil delta]

I once had 4 fish suspended in the air for weeks of game time
So odd.

[heady parcel]

Besides, I dislike their lack of precision, trolls are good for one thing - supplying me with skins for my first proper suit of armour..

[fossil delta]

Yeah, 2 stars would be a big help with that at the right time.

[heady parcel]

First one I ever killed knocked down half the trees in a huge area while I was kiting it around, looked like a nuke went off

[fossil delta]

😆 Give them enough time they can be very destructive.

[heady parcel]

Noooo lost a serpent trophy due to stupidity. Inventory full, so it sank

[fossil delta]

Ouch.

[heady parcel]

Got one, and it hangs over my throne, don't want to use that one for fishing bait...

[fossil delta]

I think we currently have 3. One is over the back doors to the home.

[worldly vapor]

Good evening people,
I have a question about planbuild. How do I place a downloaded blueprint on my pc in game?

[fossil delta]

Doubt that is even possible.

[worldly vapor]

Rats! Thanks for responding.

[merry pebble]

I assume thats a mod? Try asking in #mods-discussion 😄

[fossil delta]

A mod for blueprints? Interesting...

[gray sand]

Valheim is a factory game after all. 😏

[jovial sleet]

Will you need to start a new world when the last biome comes out?

[merry pebble]

You shouldnt if you didnt explore the area it will be in 🙂

[jovial sleet]

How can you know that ahead of time

[merry pebble]

That you got to that area or...

[jovial sleet]

Like is it in a specific area or just a random spot on the map that is yet to be generated like most biomes?

[merry pebble]

Its specific area in the north of the map, like ashlands are in the south

[jovial sleet]

Ah

[merry pebble]

look at some random seed and you will see it 🙂

the placeholder is currently there

[jovial sleet]

Oooh I didn't know there's a placeholder

I mean I don't know how big the world actually is so I don't know how close I'll be

How much I can safely explore without risking it

[merry pebble]

Just look at some seeds 🙂 you will get some idea, and if you want numbers then its 21000m in diameter

[jovial sleet]

What part of the map are the other biomes in after Plains?

[merry pebble]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/np0fhl/valheim_infographic/
This post has nice visualization in what areas biomes can spawn 🙂

[dry dome]

time to set sail for swamp : /

[wintry valve]

I love the swamp.

[tacit crystal]

Ah, another swamp enjoyer. 🤝

[heady parcel]

The swamp is awesome

[dry dome]

if there no wind just use rudder?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[jovial sleet]

If you plant carrot seeds from an actual carrot, do you get extra or something?

[merry pebble]

Yep, you grow the flower you can find in black forest, that gives 3 seeds

[dry dome]

nice found perfect spot with meadow and swamp

[jovial sleet]

I mean it gives me the option to plant seeds from carrots themselves isn't it?

Or do you only get more carrots by finding seeds in the wild

[merry pebble]

Yes, you plant a seed which gives you 1 carrot and the plant that one carrot to give you 3 other seeds 🙂 this loop repeats with crops up to mountain tier

[haughty stone]

Is the animal whispers mead worded incorrectly or am i reading it wrong

[merry pebble]

It cuts the taming time in half

[haughty stone]

Yeah i assumed it did a positive effect, but the wording in the mead Ketill says "Animals will be less reluctant to accept you into their flock"

[merry pebble]

Yeah, seems normal, whats the issue?

[haughty stone]

nvm i read it wrong

🍞

[fossil delta]

I need to make that sooner. At least I have plenty for Ashlands.

[zinc lava]

hello

vous allez bien

[tacit crystal]

English please.

[foggy glacier]

We're doing well though.

[wintry valve]

french is basically english but spoken in french

[fossil delta]

[stone dawn]

whats the best modpack for valheim rn

i want one that was like quin69's

[gray sand]

None.

[stone dawn]

its whtas gotten me to buy the game

[foggy glacier]

try asking in #mods-discussion

[stone dawn]

oo okay didnt see that

[fossil delta]

I'm finally going home today. Hopefully I will be up to playing Valheim for a couple of hours.

[shy marlin]

[lunar sapphire]

Yep, the cleaning wizard has been and gone

[high coral]

hello people, just joined the server

main reason was to find people to play with

how are people in the public servers? is the community ok?

or how does it work generally?

[shy marlin]

Community is fine, there'll always be some bad actors

#1024264966712340510 Is a good place to find like minded people and yall can set up boundaries and rules pretty effectively

[high coral]

anything i should be aware of when applying for a group?

[distant girder]

anyone got any tips on finding fish? was trying to find info about respawning and looking for them and am really confused now

[fossil delta]

You look for schools of the type you want. They do respa wn in a few days

I like searching for them from a karve.

[gray sand]

Ocean.

[open lichen]

sry that i've been living under a rock for awhile, but did we get any confirmation when 1.0 is getting released?

[gray sand]

When it is ready.

[wind umbra]

Who tryna starta fresj world

[coarse gust]

Late i know,
But watch the map.
If the east facing hills are sunny and the west facing hills are shadowy, its morning.

[copper bramble]

this morning i made a mushroom omelette irl

need that stamina in the morning

it ended up being so big that i had to serve it on our salmon plate bc it didn't fit on a regular plate

[tacit crystal]

Instead of one food you made the whole feast. 🍽️

[copper bramble]

8 mushrooms, 4 eggs and a whole sausage + a lot of cheese

why can't we have cheese in valheim

it would be cool if tamed loxes could be milked

they're mammals right?

[rugged bridge]

Ask yourself if you've ever seen a lizard/snake/reptile milked and you'll get your answer lol

[copper bramble]

hey they look very mammal-like

not just in size but they have fur, and a pelt. lizards don't have hairy leather

[rugged bridge]

According to the wiki they're a mix of lizard and ox, judging by their appearance, they have the ox's fur and the lizard's body

If it were the other way around, then it would make sense for them to be milked

(they would also probably look absolutely horrifying if it was the other way around)

[copper bramble]

but they don't lay eggs do they? they give birth to live babies

[rugged bridge]

Valheim logic be like that

Make reptilians mate!!!

[copper bramble]

then if not loxes then what tamed animal currently would be the best source of milk

[rugged bridge]

Deer off the top of my head

[copper bramble]

askvins are lizards that lay eggs, so no on that. i wouldn't want to milk wolves and same with boars

[copper bramble]

can't tame deer

[rugged bridge]

Who says you have to tame them to get milk from them

You just simply walk up to the deer and take what you want

[copper bramble]

you know how hard, wierd and sort of cruel that would be

[rugged bridge]

Maybe in the twisted world of valheim we can milk chickens

[rugged bridge]

I've done far more cruel things to them by now

[copper bramble]

maybe deep north will add goats and rams that can be milked idk

[rugged bridge]

They have teased one new mob that is a mammal

[copper bramble]

is it that seal thing with horns

[rugged bridge]

Yep

[copper bramble]

it looks like an animal from ATLA

but i wouldn't want to milk a seal

[rugged bridge]

I mean hey, seals got mammary glands, I dunno about these ones, maybe they're another mob fusion

Narwhal + seal or some crap lol

[rugged bridge]

I wouldn't want to consume milk that comes from anything in valheim, it'd probably kill you rather than help you

[copper bramble]

that's why i think just normal goats in deep north could be the best

cheese made from goat milk is pretty good too

[rugged bridge]

Guess we'll see what they add, I've already placed my bet on the 2nd bear reskin

[dry dome]

can mobs spawn on hoed land or do i need to place work benches? and i heard you can put torches in side wood beams to help protect the benches?

[tacit crystal]

They can spawn on hoed areas too if not spawnproofed. Campfire works for that too, it has same radius as workbench, enemies don't target it primarily and it doesn't require being lit to prevent enemy spawns.

[dry dome]

omg i died way away from my base area fuk

[tribal trench]

Just found a wooden great sword for training in a chest in an infested mine haha!!

[dry dome]

i might be able to walk there not sure if the land seperates iots not to crazy far but it sucks

[dry dome]

least my death let me find the merchant

[pliant hatch]

Eh, you can't milk an ox.
And even if you could when it's a bull, it won't be milk....... 🤢

[dry dome]

omg i made it back wasnt blocked by water

[polar osprey]

They're mammals. They breed and give birth to love young. If they were reptiles they would lay eggs when you breed them.

As long as you're not milking your dog I think we are good. Maybe boars milk?

[dry dome]

if i lift soil around my base it would be un targetable?

[polar osprey]

You will still be targeted. Trolls will still be able to swing through the wall and damage buildings too close to it, and flying mobs will still be able to attack beyond the raised ground. Just make sure when you make your raised ground wall that you do it a little ways away from your base. Make a real nice compound!

[rugged bridge]

Doesn't really concern me lol, they're not mammals and never will be due to them being a mix of something that is a mammal and something that isn't, with the latter being what the mob's body (not fur) is made of

[polar osprey]

They're fictional animals on a video game. They're definitely mammals though.

[rugged bridge]

You can breed parrots in minecraft, cool, now parrots are mammals

[polar osprey]

I guess chickens are lizards.

[rugged bridge]

Just cause something can breed does not make it a mammal in a game lol

[rugged bridge]

Most random statement I've ever seen

[polar osprey]

It's a viviparous mammal.

[rugged bridge]

Call it what you like, it still won't be a mammal :)

[polar osprey]

I don't see any oviparous traits.

[rugged bridge]

Basic lizards

[polar osprey]

Got any lox eggs to trade?

[rugged bridge]

Yeah I gotchu, didn't know you were an avid spawn eggs mod enjoyer

[polar osprey]

How about 2 star wolf eggs?

[rugged bridge]

Can provide those too, just don't be fooled by their icon being chicken eggs, the creators couldn't be bothered but I support it still

[dry dome]

nice, got the megingjord

[tribal trench]

I never really used the demolisher but by Odin's beard it smacks!

[neon steppe]

whoo got my first ever rancid remains trophy

[heady parcel]

I would just so very much like those hammers to have a regular attack combo, and then that ME SMASH thing could be the secondary. Then I would use them more. As is, they're very situational and mostly for cheezing stuff, which is a bit sad. I suppose they are far more useful in groups, since you'd have Mr Smash in charge of crowd control, while somebody else would be doing the damage dealing...

Sure, swinging a hammer the size of a volkswagen beetle around in regular attack patterns would be kinda unrealistic, but Valheim has never been much about that, eh

[fluid cove]

me and a friend just managed to kill Moder with just Bronze Spears, Iron Maces, and a dream

bcs we're too lazy to craft mountain tier equips

[heady parcel]

I pretty much never use the mountain tier equipment while in the mountains. Frostner sucks against most enemies up there, and the sword shines much later on, iirc I took Moder on with iron sword and huntsman bow with copious amounts of obsidian arrows...

And the Iron Mace is the dedicated tool for popping stone golems!

[fluid cove]

i only got in a frost cave afterwards to get some hairs for fenris armor

to my horror i ran into Geirrhafa down there, it was just a random frost cave the closest to our mountain base

on second look it was the Howling Cavern, and we havent ran into Hildir either lmao

[merry pebble]

It should have spawned Hugin to tell you its more dangerous than normal frost caves tho 🤔

[fluid cove]

no wonder everything in the cave got 1*

[tacit crystal]

If raven hints are disabled then he won't warn.

[fluid cove]

Hugin did appear, it was our first frost cave we found so I didn't really pay attention thinking it was the norm upon finding a regular frost cave lmao

[merry pebble]

Yeah... But why silence him when he only tries to help

[fluid cove]

i legit was like

"huh why is everything a 1-star"

🗿

[tacit crystal]

Continues anyway.

[fluid cove]

exactly

[shy marlin]

high energy i like it

[neon steppe]

longship crafted, time to set sail and look for traders

every other save i've found them before even needing to find them, but this time my starting island was super small 🙁

[shy marlin]

Rocky can talk? My whole life is a lie.

[merry pebble]

You didnt know that? 👀

[shy marlin]

yea i was buildin in a home and bro casually drops the fact that we are all gonna die and our time is set

Like thanks rocky have a great day

[gray sand]

Um... yeah?
His most famous line is: ADREAAAAANNNNNN!

😏

[shy marlin]

In my defense i've been largely playing on worlds where i'm focused on bigger fish than collecting rocky 😏

[tacit crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/brinasgift-gif-25784468

[gray sand]

Until you have rank 5, then there are not bigger fish

[shy marlin]

I bet 1.0 is gonna have a fishing achievement and i'm gonna finally have to learn how to catch those buggers 😔

[tacit crystal]

Fishing achievement preventing getting 100% completion on the game?

[tacit crystal]

Still gotta find 6 different 5 quality fish.

[chrome badge]

I just recently learned you can paddle a raft and have your fishing line out, so I have become a trawling fisherman.

[shy marlin]

[shy marlin]

lmao, fought the bros in bronze tier stuff, zil + thungr used 2/3 of the durability on the bronze sword

[zinc lava]

hello

sorry for my english i so french ^^

[tacit crystal]

In sealed tower right?

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry, large numbers of us are not natives either.

[cedar inlet]

Hello everyone

[shy marlin]

ye

[tacit crystal]

Some kind of testing or else?

[shy marlin]

nah just goofin around

it's pretty sketch tho cause basically everything one shots

do not recommend

[tacit crystal]

Unless bit bored?

[copper bramble]

unless you cheese it all with ooze bombs

[indigo forum]

Anyone looking to play with a dedicated server?

I will start one. PM if interested

[tacit crystal]

You can post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[shy marlin]

It’s bronze tier

No ooze bombs in Bronze Age 😏

[copper bramble]

you can ooze your pants at any point in the game

[oblique epoch]

@near furnace I saw that irongate and coffeestain sponsored my old class this year, really cool!!!!!

[crystal fjord]

is there a mod that allows you to wear the armor you want but maybe transmog it to look like something else? or show other clothing as on the character while still wearing armor?

[pliant hatch]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might know.

[uncut bough]

ok how does the serving tray work?

i am holding a newly bought serving tray looking like a fool

[merry pebble]

Like a hammer but for building food pieces basically 🙂

[uncut bough]

hmm

[nocturne sage]

Might be obvious to some but it took me a second to realize I had to tab over (RB/LB on controller) to set feasts down

[uncut bough]

is seafarer feast worth making? it requires 2 serpent meat

and serpent meat is kind of luxurious to get, so eating the meat cooked already give a lot of health boost

wait does serving tray stretch out a portion of food? so i can basically eat 10 carrot soup for the price of 1 carrot soup?

[merry pebble]

You trade 2 foods that last 25 minute each for a food that has 10 portions 50 minutes each 🙂 and with comparable total stats, feast gives total of 90 and cooked meat 93. So it just depends if you want lots of balanced food or bit of hp food

[uncut bough]

ok food does not work like that, only feasts

damn

[merry pebble]

Yep, feasts have 10 portions for each craft 🙂

each with full stats of the feast and lasting 50 minutes each

[idle spade]

my nearest mountain is so useless not even obsidian to be found... at least got some wolf furs, soundtrack is really good, might make a castle there some day 💙

[idle spade]

note to self, wolves are weak to trolls :(

[hearty egret]

should i play valheim using vulkan

or is it still unstable

[merry pebble]

Should be good 🙂

[idle spade]

what does vulkan do if i may ask?
also i found a dragon egg on my first expeditions into the meowtains :D

and a stone golem. i didn't take any chances attacking it

[hearty egret]

amd cards support vulkan better and basically vulkan puts more stress on the gpu therefore more fps

and i have an amd card but when i choose to play using vulkan it said valheim MIGHT crash on my system

[merry pebble]

Ah, true, i would still try it but save often just in case 🙂

[jovial sleet]

Are some biomes longer/ more content heavy than others?
I was hoping the mist lands and firelands were longer than the previous

[sharp bluff]

they kinda are

not necessarily more content, just more of a pita

[merry pebble]

Some do have more content than others, but i would say its generally quite balanced 🙂

[sharp bluff]

mistlands slow you down via the fog and the excessive need for tissue
ashlands swarms you until you croak

[jovial sleet]

what

[merry pebble]

pita=pain in the butt

[jovial sleet]

ah ty

[orchid locust]

I quite like the fog in mistlands, actually

[merry pebble]

Same 🙂 I dont really have problem with any biome really.

[tacit crystal]

That's pitb.

[thorn cape]

Hello how are you doing

[uncut bough]

welp, i just sailed the sea and drowned when the leviathan i was mining on sunk and i couldnt swim to boat in time. Now imma risk facing serpent with a mere karve

and the ocean is storming too

[heady parcel]

On the karve your chances are good, just time your arrows well

On a raft however, it is best not to try..

[heady parcel]

I like the fog in mistlands, I would just like some better build options to clear larger bits of it. There's this dvergr lantern that appears around the Mistlands, like a wisplight on steroids, they should make that buildable.

[static sentinel]

is the Dyrnwyn even out? I cannot find these mysterious locations anywhere nor can I find the spawn finder in the putrid holes

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂 you just have to look a bit more i fear

[static sentinel]

OH, I am fearful..

ok, thanks. wanted to be sure I wasn't wasting time and sanity 😄

[merry pebble]

You will find the locations eventually 😄

[static sentinel]

is it one sword per world kind of thing?

[merry pebble]

Yep

[static sentinel]

ok...

[merry pebble]

Unless you play with more resources 😄

[tiny mortar]

Must be a cause of wars on multiplayer worlds

[heady parcel]

Add to that that it is kinda underwhelming, and it becomes a vanity project more than anything. I'll be hunting it since I'm a completionist, but I doubt I will ever use it. Unless it gets a proper buff.

[tiny mortar]

Im sure itll come in handy in DN

Just like Mistlands stuff if useful in AL

[heady parcel]

Just...10 fire damage. Might as well spam fire arrows

[tiny mortar]

So literally like mistwalker and spirit damage

[heady parcel]

Now, if that fire damage stacks, then maybe...

[merry pebble]

All the DoT damages except poison stack 🙂

[tiny mortar]

Sorry not frost.. spirit

[heady parcel]

However you look at it, Dyrnwyn is pretty damn weak for all the trouble it is

[tiny mortar]

Its kinda giving me vibes of Johnnys gun from CBP77

"Yall got any damage?"
"You dont need damage when u got aura......"

[merry pebble]

Yeah, is the nidhogg variants didnt have special effects and only the bonus elemental dmg they would be around equal, but they do have the special effects so...

[tiny mortar]

How does Slayer hold up in AL

Is it worth for what it is (the basic one I mean)

[neon steppe]

finally found draugr village right next to skeleton arena

this would make pretty cool base spot also, right next to ocean really even ground

[jovial sleet]

planting a carrot only yeilds one carrot..?

i mean using a carrot itself and planting it as a seed

and can crops be harvestable but not fully grown?

[fossil delta]

They give you 3 seeds. So that's how you grow your crop sizes

[wintry valve]

also the farm skill sometime give more carrots/seeds

or more of whatever you are harvesting

[fossil delta]

Yeah, before long I get 5 to 10% bonus seeds. Wish foods would get that good as quickly

[merry pebble]

Yeah, the crafting and cooking skill just go slower, since you usually harvest WAAAAAY more stuff than you craft 😄

[fossil delta]

Yep.

Arrows and building help a lot with crafting.

[heady parcel]

...skeleton arena? Now this makes me curious, something I definitely haven't seen yet!

[merry pebble]

Its a new meadows structure 😄 go explore!

[fossil delta]

I haven't seen them either, and I pretty much explore everything. So RNG is pretty low for them.

[uncut bough]

i wish we can use bear meat to make feast. after swamp tier bear meat is basically redundant

[merry pebble]

Yeah, didnt make a full new playthrough yet after CtA, but i would say they might be a bit rarer than draugr villages

[heady parcel]

If it is one place in meadows, there's a pretty big area to look in.

I have maybe half the total meadows covered so far on this world, so I have much left to explore 🙂

[fossil delta]

I pretty sure we will see upgrades.

[merry pebble]

Not necessarily only one place, its a POI like the mentioned draugr village for example 🙂

[fossil delta]

Like I said, I explore thoroughly. I highly enjoy just seeing my worlds
So RNG is at least as low as draugr villages.

[uncut bough]

i really wish

bear meat is still real useful in swamp tier as it can be slotted into the health food slot and the convenience of just not having to gather ingredient to cook it is nice

but after that any time seeing a bear is just a nuisance to run away from instead of rewarding creature to slay

[heady parcel]

It is exclusively base-loitering food and as such it has some use, but beyond that utterly useless. So at least a bear jerky would be nice, but since we already have boar and wolf jerky - a bear jerky at higher tier wouldn't make much sense, unless you make it with Royal Jelly and make it the Mistlands tier jerky...

[fossil delta]

I still use them to make coal, but it's going to be nice when they add another recipe or 3 to make it useful food until plains levels. They might leave it as is, but I highly doubt it.

[merry pebble]

Tbh, taht would not be a bad idea imo 😄 tho feasts cover most need for balanced food

[heady parcel]

But feasts you can't bring along, which is what the jerkys are good for - balanced food for travelling!

[merry pebble]

Yep yep 😄

[fossil delta]

Feasts last so long I don't need to carry them, just my portal mats.

[uncut bough]

i got so many deer hide, bear skin, bones that i need to buy the thunder stone to obliterate them into coal

[heady parcel]

I'm always thinking in no-portals terms, my perspective is slightly skewed

[fossil delta]

Stockpile the bones.

[merry pebble]

I also always carry food with me even tho i am going home almost every night 😄 its just convenient

[heady parcel]

For me, Wolf Skewer, Sausage and Bread is the ultimate combo. Because they all stack to 20. Awesome for exploration and long distance travel!

[uncut bough]

i feel like with the obliterator i should just put woods into it and turn it into coal instead of ever having the charcoal kiln

[static sentinel]

I can find these mysterious locations with valhiem-map? I've been all over these lands and can't even find the rune spawner.

[merry pebble]

Hmm, did you make the world before CtA update?

[static sentinel]

Yes, this world is very very old - But, I've never had an issue with updates.

[merry pebble]

Its just that the world generator is not always accurate after updates that messed with POI locations 🙂 try not to use the seed but input the world files into it, that way it will be always accurate.

[heady parcel]

Hahaha I heard this giggling from seaside and realised dang the fulings are after my longship, ran out and saw this warband of 10+ fulings - half of them with torches - marching with determination down my dock to destroy my poor boat.

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure it's not 1 to 1 with wood.

[heady parcel]

"NO WAIT THAT'S MY BOAT!!!"

[tacit crystal]

Max 5 of them are generated in each world.

[heady parcel]

With the predictable "KILL YOUU!" response

[merry pebble]

Yep, 5:1 🙂

[heady parcel]

I must have built my place in some kind of spawn hot zone, there's so much bloody creatures all the time, non-stop

Main house and compound is spawn proof, but it seems I have to extend this

[fossil delta]

@merry pebble I may not always remember why I do or do not do things, but I know I have a reason. 😆

[merry pebble]

Yeah, going based on feeling is quite common for me too xD

[heady parcel]

obliterator is only 1:1 with trophies

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄 with few exceptions

[static sentinel]

Yeah, I don't use it often because it is very inaccurate. It's close though

close enough

[heady parcel]

Now, no matter the exact exchange rate of the obliterator - burning meat to coal in a cooking stand actually granting cooking procs makes the exchange rate superior anyway. If you can just spare a couple of seconds to hang up all those spare chunks of useless meat and let them roast while you do other stuff, you 1) get some cooking xp and 2) get moar coal than the obliterator would give. Win-win.

But, remember to not be a dumb little viking like me and go pick the meat off the cooking stand too early. You end up with stacks of cooked neck tails you have absolutely no use for...

At least I can put them in the obliterator 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've easily gotten 3 or 4 points burning meat into coal. 😄

[fossil delta]

Guilty as well! 😄 Obliterator for at least some salvage of a mistake.

[slate grove]

Wolf taming: I’ve trapped a pair of wolves in a pit, I’m fairly sure they won’t despawn. What do I do now?

[merry pebble]

You throw them meat and wait 30 minutes 🙂

[fossil delta]

Wait. Use t he animal whisper mead.

[merry pebble]

Yep, if you can use that, it will cut the time in half 🙂

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah, feeding is kind of important too.

[slate grove]

Do they eat bear meat?

[merry pebble]

I dont think so, try boar, deer, neck tails or sausages

[fossil delta]

I don't think they did.

Not cooked bear either.

[slate grove]

Can I throw a stack of meat in there or do I have to do one piece at a time?

[merry pebble]

Can be stack

[chrome badge]

I just tested this, I was able to activate the obliterator faster and gained +6 coal faster than meat was cooked.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, stack about 12 pieces for two.

[merry pebble]

3 should be enough for one if the timings are perfect, but usually at least a 4 for one is needed 🙂 so anything above 8 for two

[fossil delta]

If he has the mead, it will obviously be less needed.

[slate grove]

Raw or cooked? Does it matter?

[merry pebble]

Doesent matter

[merry pebble]

Yeah, with mead 2 should be enough, since one piece lasts 10 minutes 🙂

[slate grove]

Pretty sure I don’t have the mead. Do I need to get the recipe from the hag?

[wintry valve]

mead 2? Damn, I didnt even see Mead 1

[heady parcel]

Thing with the obliterator is that it kinda has to stand apart, so if all you're gaining is a bit of time, you're wasting that time running back and forth anyway. I'm using it more as a waste disposal than actually counting on it for anything

[fossil delta]

I have a campfire right inside my front door just for burning meat as I come and go.

[wintry valve]

Btw, I managed to get rid of all the two stars bad guys in the ashlands where I landed so now everything is more manageable
