Don't think weight in inventory makes a difference, I normally cart with full inventory load (including temp buffs like Moder's and Troll mead) and about half load to get the best flow. But you need to sprint when going uphill, just walking won't be enough, nearly ever. So stay rested so you can sprint a lot - and consider using the ratatosk mead.

Coins are found in the burial chambers and by killing trolls.
There's also gems found in the burial chambers you can sell to him for more coins.

Later in the swamp you'll be able to find coins in sunken crypts and two biomes after that some of the monsters may drop coins as well.

Mountains is a bit of an odd biome, it doesn't have a great difficulty spike, but the terrain itself and certain mobs that can yeet you off the mountain if you slack up - it can bring a few deaths.

i have 160 coins, what can i purchase from haldor? how much does he his materials from us for?

pliant hatch
#

I think there's one item at 150 coins, but that's it.
Not certain about the gems, but a full stack of them does make 300-ish coins. Maybe even more.
The Meginjord will cost 900 coins.

#

All trinkets are good. Earlier trinkets gives relatively small bonuses but are way easier to trigger than later trinkets.

#

Which one you want to use should reflect on what you think you consistently find yourself lacking.

#

Keep in mind that, aside for one notable exceptions, trinkets are mostly to help with big fights, and are pretty useless when dealing with a few enemies.

#

whats the best armor and weapons for the bronze age? im full bronze armor with the deer cape and using wooden shield and bronze buckler

#

do we also reccomend i craft a karve and sail to the island i can see from shore that contains black forest? sounds easiest to get tin which is currently what im lacking in,and it sounds safer and faster than the long journey with the cart to the BF across the starter island

dark coyote

dual weilding shields, very nice

hollow lance
#

u can dual wield shields?

dark coyote
#

u can?

pliant hatch
#

He's selling several items, but the Meginjord is the only one all players agree on it's good and absolutely needed.

Personally I'm buying the Dvergr Circlet, the fishing rod and the Yule hat as well, but that's a personal preference.
The circlet is useful when exploring dungeons, but at the cost of armor; the fishingrod is useful if you want to craft a good food in the 5th biome and the yule hat is a nice "wanna have" item.

hollow lance
#

?

hollow lance
#

how do i get more cauldron recipes? all i got is boar jerky

wintry valve
#

you pretty much have to make a karve at some point

pliant hatch
#

Have you picked the white flowers in teh Black Forest yet?

If not, do so, then craft a cultivator - if you don't have that yet - and plant those seeds.
Replant what you get from that to get more seeds, then plant the seeds again.

You can basically use 33% of the plants to be replanted for seeds and the rest for food items.

hollow lance
pliant hatch
#

As for armor, it's what you feel most comfortable with.
Some go for light (troll armor), some go for the heavy (bronze) armor and some go for medium (bear armor).
Eventually you will use all armor parts combined to get the bonus from each piece, but the better armor from others.

#

White flowers = carrot seeds.

Plant those and when you got carrots, plant the carrots to get more seeds. Then plant all seeds and from that point on use 1/3rd for seeds and the rest for food.

#

Sorry, but don't want to spoil too much.

hollow lance
#

okayokay

#

I'm a great fan of heavy armours, simply because they fit my playstyle - I get hit often because sloppy parrying and mistimed dodging, so a bit of passive armour truly helps. If you are more confident in your own skills, you can go with lighter armours and enjoy a bit more mobility. Heavy armour slows you down a bit.

hollow lance
#

i dont see the different between heavy and light, my character feels as if hes as swift as before with leather and troll. whats the benefits of heavy do they make your posture stronger? or reduced damage?

#

and cant u still dodge fine with heavy armor?

pliant hatch
#

Heavy got more armor, but also a movement penalty. Light doesn't have that.

heady parcel
#

It has stronger armour, so you take less damage for every hit you take. You move 10% slower, but you can dodge freely, that is not affected.

hollow lance
#

i havent noticed the penalty yet but i guess ill figure it out when i play more,thanks

mellow ore

is it worth making iron armour im using the bear one rn

Dangit, I can hear a Horn of Doom around my Mistlands outpost, but I can't find him. And I know for certain if I move away it will find my shrooms and bomb them to kingdom come

Haven't found any dvergr outposts yet

So, no sap, no eitr as of yet. Also the only mine I found so far only had two cores. But at least I have some mistlands foods.

hollow lance
#

why is my brone buckler weaker than my flint spear? and whys the durability so much worse? the games making it out to look like the stonge age was better than the bronze age irl.

pliant hatch
#

Durability gets better the more you upgrade items.
Same goes to what you're able to do with it, although block and armor value are basically fixed numbers.

polar flame
#

Backpacks when? πŸ˜…

polar flame
#

Lol I know. I was just being goofy.

heady parcel
#

And I provided you with a sufficiently boring answer πŸ˜‰

polar flame
#

I dont want to mod valheim though. Im still on my first real playthrough.

#

The megginjord is nice. Its just, and I know this is already something the devs are aware of, later on in the game it really doesnt feel like enough.

heady parcel
#

But, we do have some signals from the devs that they do in fact want to do something about inventory, since the last update added a few more things we want to bring along on our adventures. So time will tell if and how they do anything to expand on the inventory.

pliant hatch
#

If it's about weight, then Meginjord, Moder power and troll mead to a lot.
If you want to have more speed while having a high load, use the ratatosk mead instead of troll mead.

For the rest, there's always the cart or the boats inventory.
And pocket portals.

polar flame
#

Yeah. I know, I'm just impatient πŸ˜….

#

Yeah I know but I made a bit of a big base with my friends and not only that but bringing different weapons for different scenarios and such too. Also, I dont want to have to spend the time to fish a bunch of trollfish... moder is nice but sometimes five minutes isnt enough, especially in the mistlands where having yagluth and bone mass can make a big difference.

heady parcel
#

Weight limit was never much of an issue, it was always the available slots. I do understand the reasoning behind the current design - it does force us to make choices on what to bring and what to leave behind, depending on what we're going to do - but with the recent trinkets and magic staves added over the last two biomes, the original inventory IS a bit small.

polar flame
#

Besides. Lately the issue hasn't been carry capacity, so much as just no having deep enough pockets.

#

Yeah.

#

I think even just having one or maybe even two extra rows of space would be plenty tbh.

#

Although, dedicated equipment slots would also work.

#

A weapon wheel would be cool too. As well as being able to (if dedicated equipment slots happened) equip arrows in a slot like that, maybe a slot in the weapon wheel for toggling arrow would be nice. But I dont know if that would necessarily fit well with the devs' vision

heady parcel
#

My personal view is that a typical inventory (as in many other similar games) where equipped items have a dedicated slot that does not impact the "bagspace" row of slots would be the simplest and cleanest solution. It would free up four slots for armour, one for each hand and two for trinket/accessory - and possibly one for arrows/bolts. That would be enough imo.

#

With how quickslots work, it might be cleaner to leave main hand/offhand out of it, but I guess there are solutions to that.

nocturne sage
#

Inventory fix is simple. You don’t carry clothes you are wearing in your bags. Character item slots ez pz

heady parcel
#

It would be the logical thing to do, but we'll see

fossil delta
#

They will definitely do something. I seriously doubt even they knew how much gear and materials we would end up with. They now have a much better idea.

polar flame
#

Yeah. Im excited to finally make it to the Ashlands, and eventually the Deep North, but there's going to be so much more new materials...

brisk walrus
#

yup, i feel like the dev made the game to be ideally played with a friend to share the load

fossil delta
#

Personally I manage just fine so far, but it's feeling noticeably tighter. I'm having to portal home more often, for example.

rotund parrot
#

Not only is it more time efficient to go out with an intent to gather certain resources, it also make inventory management a lot easier

heady parcel
#

Haha a good ways into Mistlands near my mushroom outpost (that I build on the boundary between Black Forest/Swamp/Mistlands) I spotted loot sparkling in the mist and ran over - turns out a two-star deer has met its end at the, uh, pincers of some Mistlands menace.

#

Fascinates me just how long mobs can wander into the "wrong" biome when the circumstance are right

fossil delta
#

Yeah, there are a number of things I would like to take home, but there are few I NEED to take home.

#

About heavy and light armor, this is just common denomination gamers have to differentiate various sets in games. Its not like Valheim really have "heavy" or "light" armor.
But as someone said, you have certain sets that gives more defense than others at a given tier at the cost of slowing you down a bit, which is what we call "heavy".

Getting hit by all of them is pretty hard to begin with

nocturne wolf

Flametal shield should block the damage well, 60 damage is pretty low by that point in the game

Its just that it creates some kind of reflex and if you try that with a one star archer, the result may surprise you

Dangit, worthless Mistlands island so far. One skull, one mine (w two cores) and zero dvergr settlements. Got a shroom farm up and running, but apart from that not much in the way of progress.

#

turned out 80% of the area was elevated enough to become mountain..

#

But anyone who never even thought about it - do consider a no-portals run. It changes everything about how you plan journeys, exploration and where you place your bases. Heck, even road building becomes an important aspect...

#

Takes a lot more time, yes - so if you're all about beating the game as quickly as possible it won't be your thing, but for anyone who enjoys taking their time I truly recommend it.

what does the bear armour help with, troll makes u swifter and sneakier, bronze durable, whats bear?

Parrying the slam at 0 skill takes 44 HP, at 100 skill it takes 30.
πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Food matters more than the stat does.

hollow lance
gray sand
#

30 MAX health. So you'd have to eat... almost nothing given base max HP is 25.

hollow lance
#

okayy

gray sand
#

As noted when numbers on the sheet turn grey, it's because they are less than 25 so you can always parry them.

#

Red numbers indicate the max health needed is not attainable with current food, so the attack is unparryable.

hollow lance
#

im confused

#

what do you mean, red numbers when

gray sand
#

Blocking sheet that is pinned in this channel.

hollow lance

oh i get you wait when they attack and its grey or red?

let me check

is it 'blocking breakpoints'?

ok bro

gray sand
#

Again, we are not related.

heady parcel
#

Also, you're perfectly fine to just play the game and learn by doing what works and what does not work...

shy marlin
#

yea there's some joy in "can i parry this"

hollow lance
heady parcel
#

Basic rule is - if you want to be tanky and survive getting hit, health foods and heavy armour is good. If you want to be nimble and dodge, parry and move your way to success, light armour and more stamina is the way.

gray sand
#

If you want to be better at parrying -- Health > Stamina.

#

Armor being irrelevant to blocking.

hollow lance
#

to be honest i could solo a troll naked with a dagger but those pesky greydwarfs and brutes and stuff make me nervous

#

also can you parry or dodge a troll with a log?

gray sand
#

Yes.

hollow lance
#

Okay.

gray sand
#

They do the same damage as ones without. Just different animation timings.

heady parcel
#

Choice of weapons mostly about personal preference, but I always recommend not focusing on one weapon type, because different enemies have different weaknesses. If you focus on e.g. spears you'll struggle against some enemies that spears are simply not that good against. You'll still manage - but it will be a bit harder.

hollow lance
gray sand
#

Is that a concern when parrying?

hollow lance
hollow lance

#

Timing the dodge/parry is just timing. Range isn't a factor unless you're considering not dodging it because you think they are too far to hit you.

Are mountain bases viable?
I don't know how often golems are likely to just tear everything down, or if Drake's will just destroy all the roofs that are hard to reach..

glossy heath
#

enemies shouldn't attack roofing, walls, floors and some other things unless they're trying to attack some living target they're alerted to but can't reach

#

decent spawnproofing and keeping yourself hidden from the sight of enemies tend to be the best base defense in any biome, but noise will likely attract drakes every now and then, ready to aggro once they spot you
i like living in the mountains, but they're probably one of the less convenient biomes to live in (no direct sea access, no crops, can't leave the base without protection from the cold)

barrels are smaller in length than wood chests and have 4 more slots

#

if you put them on a shelf they are great for storing a bunch of stuff, on 1x1 floors

tacit crystal
#

1 barrel has 12 slots. And barrels can be squeezed in 6 inside 1x4 area, so 2x4 area would hold 12 barrels. Although it would require access to 2 sides of the shelf.

gray sand
#

So technically barrels are the best.
Said technicality being they require access from both sides.

Actually forgot about barrels at first lol.

There is a point in the game where it's easier to farm material for a black metal chest than a reinfoced chest.

Right, they're chests

shy marlin

But one stores more than the other πŸ™ƒ

And that image you didn't squeeze the iron chests together as much as you could, and so it's decieving saying that "hey guys, these have the same storage per area" when they factually don't

#

what i'm saying there is that blackmetal should provide more storage than the iron chests

#

because of vertical progression

chrome badge
#

Yeah I'm not trying to rehash this point, they are close, and it's okay if you don't agree.

shy marlin
#

They are FACTUALLY not close

#

πŸ™„ omg man

chrome badge
#

It's fine if you don't agree.

shy marlin
#

you cannot disagree with facts

chrome badge
#

It's just not factual, it's how you're viewing the scale of the differences.

shy marlin
#

NO

#

I can't man this is braindead

chrome badge
#

I understand, so don't.

shy marlin
#

No, you don't understand

#

It's an inhereit fact that is true to valheim that iron chests store more items per area than blackmetal chests and just denying that is silly

chrome badge
#

If you only need 1 more floor to achieve what 15 reinforced chests do, with black metal, they are indeed close.

#

If you're looking at it from a hundreds of chests pov, I understand, but it's just not going to be utilized in this way.

shy marlin
#

And in that one more floor you can fit even more storage with iron chests, it's always factually better, there is NEVER a reason to EVER use blackmetal chests if you're goal is to maximize storage

chrome badge
#

Factually better, but close in ratio.

#

I think you're confusing what I'm saying a little.

shy marlin
#

No at all

#

They are NOT close in ratio

polar osprey
#

You're hoarding too much garbage if you need to maximise storage space tbh.

shy marlin
#

That's not the point

polar osprey
#

It really is. You two are bickering over something that doesn't matter.

chrome badge
#

Didn't mean to upset, for me they are close, have benefits like more items per inventory, and allow usage for black metal rather than more iron sinks.

polar osprey
#

You don't generally live in a 2x2 shack when you have access to black metal chests. So why does it matter how many you can squeeze into a tiny area?

#

I love my blackmetal chests.

chrome badge
shy marlin
chrome badge
#

I agreed earlier and prefaced my statement with the fact that you'd need to ignore object clipping for my example to take any precedence.

shy marlin
#

And the whole, "yea but I can just make my thing bigger" is like well, then you can just use more reinforced chests in that new proposed area and have even more storage

chrome badge
#

I wouldn't stress so much over that.

chrome badge
#

It's really not, especially when it's not even guaranteed players would need enough storage space to notice the difference.

Yesterday I had a little fire. Trolls thought it would be funny to come visit me at base and I forgot I had fire arrows in my inventory. Spent a good hour or two fixing my roof.

brisk walrus
#

to close the chest debate, in the end i chose the black metal chest. because it looks metal 🀘

chrome badge
#

Yeah, my original intent the first time this was brought up was never to prove which was better, just highlight that black metal chests aren't as bad as they're often made out to be.

orchid locust
#

the chest progression is objectively nonsensical, I agree: 10 -> 24 -> 32
Sure, black metal is technically easier to gather if you live in the plains or you have defeated Yag, but if iron gives you 14 extra slots, why is black metal giving you half of that...

chrome badge
#

I would love if the next chest advancement were similar in slot size to black metal chests, and half the size.

orchid locust
#

and if you consider how you can cram those chests together, it becomes even more dumb of a progression, but hey

polar osprey
#

I like shiny things, what's better than something that's shiny and technically cheaper to make? Nothing really.

#

I can only imagine what type of storage container they're working on for the update.

gray sand
#

Larger chest, more slots, but hard clearance so you cannot clip them together. Deep North kappa

merry pebble

Or none at all πŸ™‚

Or, watch them not even have a chest.

#

i like blackmetal chests bc they are easier and less tedious to organize and storing bulk amounts of one item is aesthetically pleasing. i.e. a full box of any resource is nice to look at

rotund parrot
#

I'd rather use blackmetal chest since they look better but I often end up using iron since it just take less space, the material is not a factor as they are both easy to get

copper bramble
#

yeah blackmetal isn't as "expensive" as iron

#

iron has way more uses

rotund parrot
#

it's 2 vs 6 bars

copper bramble
#

i'd rather spend 300 blackmetal on something than 60 iron

polar osprey

Yeah but iron is key commodity

You need iron for everything

shy marlin

copper bramble
polar osprey
#

Your time playing is not though

copper bramble
#

i have so much blackmetal and nothing to spend it on

polar osprey
#

The reality is, black metal is quicker and easier to farm and has no uses other than storage and a one time upgrade of gear.

#

Iron is used for EVERYTHING else, and takes far longer to aquire copious amounts.

copper bramble
#

raiding villages is more fun than raiding crypts

just ore but smelting is easy

polar osprey
#

In Mistlands you can farm decent iron by disassembling structures, but you need to spend time scouting those bridges before that.

rotund parrot
#

Of course you can, especially if you have a blackmetal pick, access to stone portals and troll meads. But even with a iron pick you can easily get that much iron in 3 hours

polar osprey
#

You are not factoring in scouting an map discovery.

copper bramble
shy marlin
#

I just said not smelt

#

Everything else yes

copper bramble

without stone portal^^

polar osprey
#

Generally a boat load of iron takes around 6 crypts.

copper bramble
#

no ashlands gear

shy marlin
#

so why are we moving goalposts now?

rotund parrot
#

And that amount would land you 3 times the amount of chests and 50% more storage slots

You don't need stone portal because you can just world-hop.

Keep the punt on the secondary but make it just hit normally on the basic hits and I would love it.
Alternatively, make it a two-handed if you're going to make it punt that far.

yea the non cheese version basically involves, half circle run while doing meteors into being on the opposite hand that does the aoe denial bs and then you can get good dmg in

All blasting me simultaneously

fossil delta
#

That would kill anyone. Except maybe me, depends on my tower shield and if I got the poison resist going.

Stop flexing

fossil delta
#

Not flexing, just saying how I might survive it. Maybe. I'd have to test.

untold sinew
#

Yea fair enough

fossil delta
#

I know I can deal with 3. Not letting them all hit me at the same time, though. Even with blocking. I'm not sure just how much my Tower Shields can block of that attack.

#

The black metal one probably can. That thing is good into the Ashlands.

My kid got me on this game…. Now I’m hooked πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

There are worse addictions to have.

#

I don’t build as fast as my kid ( he is 25 ) lol but it’s been fun so far

lone rampart
#

There's no time limit on it. So long as you're enjoying yourself!

lofty sky
#

That’s what I like about it.

fossil delta
#

It all just takes practice. Play enough and you will get as good as anyone at it.

#

I build slow because my attention span goes sprinting off in random directions πŸ˜… "I'm gonna build a house!" "no I'm gonna explore the Mistlands!" "No I need to plant more turnips!"

#

Beat first boss last night. Now just exploring Black Forest .

#

Haha that sounds like me! Oh wait let’s fight this troll now hahah

lone rampart
#

On to glorious battle! raises a tankard

fossil delta
#

The bear armor is pretty good. I got it this time around because I only saw 4 trolls by the time I had the bear set to lvl 3.

#

I have to say I like it better, over all.

lofty sky
#

I’ve killed 2 trolls and just got my first black bear lmao

#

I’m obviously still figuring out the crafting so I hord everything

fossil delta
#

I usually do troll set, but like I said, they have been rare this play through.

lone rampart
#

Oh, naturally. Can't get rid of it! Might be useful!

#

I have a spare cart parked next to the blacksmithy with all the "extra" black metal I'm never going to use

Now I gotta build a new base closer to the BLK forest though camp is far and my guy is maxed weight

#

Hope I can make the swim hahaha

lone rampart
#

At least you can't sink when swimming overloaded πŸ˜…

fossil delta
#

Well, we won't know what is useful when until they actually finish this game. Like I never expected bones to be so needed in Ashlands.

lofty sky
#

Ok good to know I wasn’t sure if that was a thing

#

Haven’t been to ashlands yet. I just started last night

lone rampart
#

Well it sounds like you're enjoying it so far! Always fun to see the game through fresh eyes!

tribal trench
#

Take your time and have fun with it. No need to rush for sure

fossil delta
#

Ashlands is a ways off. Take your time, do not rush. You only get to play this for your first time once. Enjoy it.

I use to play 7 days to die but it got boring.

fossil delta
#

I own it, but have never played it. Too far down on my list of games I still need to play.

I'm still trying to beat Volgarr the Viking II

It was fun for a while like most games are

I've been a Humble Bundle Monthly subscriber for years. So have more games to play than I likely will ever get around to actually playing. I'm fine with spending so much time on Valheim because my wife enjoys playing it too.

lofty sky
#

I asked my wife to play lol. She prefers geeking on Minecraft

lone rampart
#

Oh but Valheim is so much better than MC (I say, having never played the latter)

fossil delta
#

Get her to watch. Typically my wife never plays anything, but she got interested in Valheim. Now we have over 2000 hours on it, together. Maybe you will have similar luck.

lone rampart
#

Could also share some of the build videos on YouTube to whet her appetite

fossil delta
#

Valheim will never match Minecraft for building, but maybe it will be good enough.

lofty sky
#

She is watching me play right now while she geek on her phone lol

#

She use to play 7 days with me and got hooked

#

Maybe I’ll get lucky and she will join me in this.. who knows

anyone else just feels never satisfied with what they've built, tear down everything and build another one?

i've done it to my plains castle a total of 4 times now

#

Only time I tear down and rebuild is when I am upgrading from wood to stone, etc... Even then I usually leave my floors and chests in place.

obsidian raven
#

I make satellite bases all over

#

And then one major "shipyard" base.

lofty sky
#

In the process of making my 3rd base lmao

fossil delta
#

I make a fair number of satellite bases. At least one in the plains, primarily for farming. Then I often make a half dozen or so in Mistlands, then at least one more in Ashlands.

#

I just have one main base which I pretty much bring everything back to.

though 3 of them are quite a walk but worth it

2am and still geeking out lmao. Time to go chop more wood

Make a tree farm instead

#

I started saving the seeds! How do I plant them lol

#

Make a flat area

#

place 4 2x2 tiles

#

and repeat

#

or better just use the hoe and make a square shape area for planting

I cheated and used to online map generator to find them, there were none on my starting island

What's the point of the staff of fracturing? I cant find what it's better at than the staff of embers

tame perch
#

the magic shotgun

nocturne wolf
rain flare
#

Just focus on spamming as many closer range attacks as possible - each of the lava bits you fire off adds damage onto your target, and fire damage stacks infinitely

velvet sleet
#

But sof has 1:1 fire and blunt damage types too

rain flare
#

Each stack has a timer of course, but I’ve spammed enough that you get like 600-900 fire damage per second on a mob

velvet sleet
#

120/120 - embers and and 12/12 - fracturing

gray sand
#

Fracture also used to have a different projectile iirc.

tacit crystal
# velvet sleet 120/120 - embers and and 12/12 - fracturing

When you hit bigger targets with all clusters also hitting the same target it ramps up the fire damage tremendously, which will be much more than with Ember staff.
Ember staff has higher blunt and AoE, which is suited better for groups, Fracturing staff is better for single target damage.

gray sand
#

The tooltip no longer makes sense with the whole "skill" thing given how it shoots now.

#

But, could be wrong, iirc it used to shoot like Roadhog's secondary where it was a single projectile for a certain distance that then split into a shotgun spray.

So the trick was to know that distance and vs. single targets you'd what it to explode just before them so they got hit with all of the shards. Vs. multiple opponents you'd want to make it to the spread was as wide as possible.

velvet sleet

#

Skill weapon took skill and that isn't allowed so nerf πŸ™

west pulsar
#

Chat what's the best setup for pure damage gear wise you think?

gray sand
#

There is no one setup.

west pulsar
#

Yea i get that but is it worth carrying around more than 3 weapons?

shy marlin
#

wrong

#

it's mage

gray sand
gray sand
# shy marlin it's mage

Yes because there is only 1 magic staff in the entire game... making there only "one setup" of mage in the entire game that is unquestionably "best"...

OH WAIT......

west pulsar
#

😭 then give me your opinion instead of non answers

gray sand
west pulsar
#

...i asked

#

Because i wanted a second opinion

gray sand
west pulsar
#

Dude

shy marlin
#

trust me i know what i'm talking about

west pulsar
gray sand
shy marlin
#

lmao do i need to pull up the resume

shy marlin
west pulsar
#

So i asked

#

What are these non answers

#

Like just give me the numbers or your opinion

shy marlin
# west pulsar Okay elaborate

Mage armor + all of the staffs (use the staff that best fits the scenario), and the ashlands mage trinket and you have the best damage in the game

west pulsar
gray sand
#

(use the staff that best fits the scenario)

Oh my Odin.. proving my point that there is no "one setup" πŸ˜„

#

It is just you.

shy marlin
gray sand
#

Bronze trinket is literally free Lingering Stamina.

shy marlin
#

Valheim is having a set up of tools that allows you to do the most damage

shy marlin
#

So yes, it's one set up

west pulsar
gray sand
#

Yes.

shy marlin
#

you have zero clue what you're talking about sev

gray sand
#

False.

west pulsar
#

I have 6 weapons rn that doesn't mean its 6 setups

#

Its one setup

shy marlin
#

there's no one else in the game that has anywhere close to the level of understanding of builds and combat as I do

west pulsar
#

Anyway scales

shy marlin
#

So yes, you're wrong sev

west pulsar
#

Go on im mostly asking you

gray sand
#

I am not, but you do you.

west pulsar
#

Im not asking you sev

shy marlin
west pulsar
#

Scales

#

Explain it to me more

gray sand
#

3 weapons = 3 setups.

#

If you could dual-wield magic staves we'd have a discussion point, but alas.

shy marlin
shy marlin
gray sand
#

Sure.....

shy marlin
#

a build is an arsenal of weapons and armor

gray sand
#

No, that is a loadout.

shy marlin
#

that's true for valheim, mmos, etc

west pulsar
gray sand
#

So if i switch to an axe to chop a tree that's a different gear set up?

Yes.

native dirge
#

Axe can be used as a weapon tbf

gray sand
#

Yes.

west pulsar
#

A set up is setting up on inventory of gear

#

That's being set up

#

You're being pedantically wrong

gray sand
#

That is a loadout.

#

And I am not wrong.

west pulsar
#

That's the same thing

gray sand
#

No.

native dirge
#

What's the different between a loadout and a setup really though?

west pulsar
#

There isnt one

gray sand
#

Setup = what you are using in the current moment.
Loadout = available options to switch to.

west pulsar
#

A set up is anything in your hot bar

#

Anything in your backpack is equipment

#

I can have 8 things SET UP and ready at a moments notice

native dirge
#

Yeah, backpack is just extra inventory imo

west pulsar
#

So i can in theory have 8 weapons SET UP

native dirge
#

It's not practical to switch weapons if they're in your bag

west pulsar
#

Right

The rest of the time it's just an inventory slot I'll never get back

This is just pedantic nonsense

west pulsar
#

Doesn't feel strong enough

gray sand
#

Reinforcing that worth is subjective to the individual.

rugged bridge
#

Trinkets in general are fine (apart from the inventory slot issue), just the later ones need to be tweaked to actually trigger enough to make them worth it

west pulsar
native dirge
#

Personally, I like items with consistent passive buffs over consumables with cooldowns

#

So trinkets sound pretty neat to me

west pulsar
rugged bridge
#

Would be useful if they did trigger, but 100 adrenaline is just too much

west pulsar
#

Hell nahhhhhhhhhh

#

That ones basically wasting a slot

#

100 is cancer

gray sand
#

100 what?

west pulsar
#

I usually run blood magic and weapons but idk if that's actually good

west pulsar
gray sand
#

Bronze pendant gives 25% regen and costs 50 adrenaline.

native dirge
rugged bridge
#

Personally I'd be fine with 100 if the weapons themselves gave more depending on which biome they're from, but since I gain the same adrenaline hitting with a carved wooden stick and an eitr infused cleaver, may as well give up at that point

west pulsar
#

I'll be honest ashlands balancing feels so bad

gray sand
#

25% regen lasting for a full minute costing only 50 adrenaline means you basically have 100% uptime on it.
That is the only "100" number involved in the trinket.

native dirge
gray sand
#

Brimstone is the only trinket that costs 100.
And I will agree it sucks.

I finally got to it yesterday for the second time, I can see the difference between the beta client version and this one
