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.
i thought it was gonna be insanley hard after the swamp
is the heart of the forest trinket good? i set spawn at BF for overnight mining and the forest raid happened. a shamrock dropped his trophy now it should be craftable
thank you so much,ive been avoiding all the gems for inventory space.. π€¦ββοΈ
Going out in Plains at night wearing swamp/mountains gear will probably be challenging, yes.
so amber is a material he buys from us?
Moder's power, troll and ratatosk mead aren't available when you are in teh bronze age.
So while the advise is sound, it won't help much in this case.
don't worry that chalenges await you in the later bioms ^^
swamp->mountain>plains or swamp>plains>mountains?
swamp is still in the beginning of the game
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.
Amber, amber pearls and rubies are the things he buys.
okay i see
I disagree, it requires a boat at least
finally,after 30 minutes ive made it home from the black forest god
good i cant wait but progression is slow
Highly depends on seed.
well, once you find the location of the next boss you can just go there imediatly to beat him without farming the weapons and armor upgrade ^^
Point is when dragging a cart uphill you need to apply force (=sprint) or you won't get anywhere. Any buffs that lets you sprint more makes it easier, no fault in mentioning them methinks.
i have 160 coins, what can i purchase from haldor? how much does he his materials from us for?
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.
Lazy bear, wouldn't hunt hares
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.
holyyy okay.
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
dual weilding shields, very nice
u can dual wield shields?
u can?
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.
?
ohh okay nice
how do i get more cauldron recipes? all i got is boar jerky
you pretty much have to make a karve at some point
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.
i found carrot seeds,but havent picked the white flowers yet
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.
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.
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?
Heavy got more armor, but also a movement penalty. Light doesn't have that.
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.
i havent noticed the penalty yet but i guess ill figure it out when i play more,thanks
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
no ballista?
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.
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.
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.
Backpacks when? π
I believe your answer is somewhere in the mods channels...
Lol I know. I was just being goofy.
And I provided you with a sufficiently boring answer π
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.
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.
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.
Yeah. I know, I'm just impatient π .
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.
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.
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
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.
Inventory fix is simple. You donβt carry clothes you are wearing in your bags. Character item slots ez pz
It would be the logical thing to do, but we'll see
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.
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...
yup, i feel like the dev made the game to be ideally played with a friend to share the load
Personally I manage just fine so far, but it's feeling noticeably tighter. I'm having to portal home more often, for example.
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
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
Yeah, there are a number of things I would like to take home, but there are few I NEED to take home.
Yeah, currently being on a no-portals run I am definietly feeling the limitation a lot more than when you have a pocket portal at hand.
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".
Bloody hell I got unlucky with this mistlands, there nearly no mist-fee areas at all
Gotta think what should I try in next run. 
-# And Scales: no, not going to try "no food" run of any sort. 
If I block a shotgun shot from a charred archer, does it give me like 10 time worth of blocking exp?
The volley of arrows? Should count as individual xps if you manage to block them all.
They'll only use that attack if you're standing more than 20m away from them
meaning I get a bunch of exp?
Yes, they're all individual hits
nice
Its not a strategy I suggest, however. I remember one of them absolutely wrecking me instantly by doing that
Getting hit by all of them is pretty hard to begin with
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
Valheim made it to WhatCulture with them explaining how to use campfires to kill bosses π
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.
ARGH!!!
I get back to my home base after being away for about a week in-game, and a flock of lox have levelled my park. What a bloody mess...
How many did you kill? π
All of them
Gooooooooooooood.
They were chasing a deer it seems. Deer being kinda good at avoiding big slow things, it made my pretty park plantation unfortunate collateral
Why is something that eats cloudberries hunting a deer? π
They just angry beasts
Not the sweet fwuffy lox π
Not so much. But they are much like normal cattle that way. They look all sweet and fluffy at a distance, but if you annoy them they get very salty
Granted, your average cow requires a bit more provocation to go on a rampage, but they do have it in them...
best foods for Black Forest,and how do i acquire ingredients if the best food is in cauldron?
Food sheet is pinned in this channel. You want the Configurations tab.
Deer Stew, Carrot soup, minced meat sauce
another q prioritize stamina or health?
Grow carrots
thank you
sir yes sir
This is entirely your choice to make.
And the 3 foods he listed are not "best."
can u # it?
Also, if you prefer more stamina a combo deer stew, boar jerky and carrot soup is good
Also no π
does his list prirotize hp or stam?
i see
bro who to believe π
in the sheet whats 'feast'?
Something you will not get until Swamp.
Then there's the jam (raspberries+blueberries) if you really want to go stamina, mind you it burns fast (short duration) so I personally only use it for fishing
@heady parcel are you choosing to leave out Jam for some reason?
okay
See my post just above π
i think ill go HHS i always did that in the meadows anyway and rn i am too, deer meat boar meat honey
With the bears running around the forest these days, I don't think I'll ever go HSS there again...
btw should i stick to my flint spear lvl 3 over my bronze buckler? it deals more damage with its pierce i think,and it has higher durability
Spear and buckler go fine together?
god they are scary but stupid,literally 2 feet away from me on the other side of the wall and didnt even notice me
Spear and Buckler can be used at the same time, so idk what "over" is about?
i dont mind dual wielding
wait what do you mean used at the same time? 2 handed? or i can switch between
Spears are 1-handed.
your making me sound like a dumbass
You are pretty much expected to use the one-handed weapons with a shield of some type
hello all!
You're* (see the difference π )
i saw someone say use altegir because it stuns,but it didnt stun the bear at ALL..
got me there
We are just explaining things.
Correcting spelling is the "making sound like" line π
Bears resist pierce so...
fr? whats best against them
i want to usea sword but i got 0 stat on it and like 20 on my spear
They resist pierce and blunt, so axes or swords
If I may recommend something to you with the utmost importance?
go ahead
or knives if you're the stabby type
dang okay
i cant find a bronze dagger in my crafting menu, only a butchering knife if i remember
Stop giving a shit about what is "best" in the game.
Just play it, use the weapons and armor you enjoy using.
What sev is saying - if you survive and have fun - it is good
fair point but i dont want to be weaker than im supposed to be, im struggling facing bears and rely on arrows for trolls which i find cowardly
THATS THE PROBLEM IM ON THE BRINK OF SURVIVAL
There's only 2 instances I can think of where something is objectively "best" across the whole game.
Everything else is about a 5-10% difference at most.
okay okay
Everyone rely on bows against trolls at first, you don't go toe-to-toe with those guys for a very valid reason - if they hit you it is often game over
isnt the girl in your user tag the one caught cheating on cs or something?
That's food.
Food is the most important stat in the game. Gear is irrelevant if your food sucks.
Gear is also largely irrelevant if your food is amazing.
how much hp do i need to tank a hit, and how much hp do i need to parry a hit?
gotta learn the attacks patterns and adapt
my food gives me around 90hp all the time and 100 stam
Lightning is a fictional character from Final Fantasy... but ok?
the 'gina' thingy
Doesn't even play CS?
ok forget it bro
We are not related.
The theorycrafting you can find on the Wiki I think. The formula goes - the more health, armour and block you have, the less likely to get staggered when blocking you are
I genuinely don't even know what that means.
last time I played I think it was around 70 block to fully parry it
idek either i just saw it on tiktok
thank you, did u take damage or stumble back when u parried at 70?
thanks
no
Armor doesn't affect blocking.
70 block of the skill I meant.
oh god okay
Bronze Buckler rank 1 with 0 skill on normal needs 77 max HP to parry all troll attacks.
70 skill with what tho? could a 25hp 70 skill parry a troll?
Rank 3 shield drops that to 44.
thats odd, i swear having 50 hp and stumbling
Food is the most important stat in the game, not skills.
i got it
they help tho
Doesn't it affect if the incoming damage will stagger me? Always thought that...
Parry is a timing thing, you need over 100 HP to block without being staggered.
aha okay
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.
π€·ββοΈ Food matters more than the stat does.
so at 30 hp 100 skill u would still stagger?
30 MAX health. So you'd have to eat... almost nothing given base max HP is 25.
okayy
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.
Blocking sheet that is pinned in this channel.
oh i get you wait when they attack and its grey or red?
let me check
is it 'blocking breakpoints'?
Yes.
so whats that big bar next to my shield when i block something?
Scarlet summed up my work with so little words π
why the hell is there formulas to work ts out
no im avoiding revising why am i seeing formulas 3 days before school
game sucks π₯
Because it's a video game? So math is inherent to how it functions?
You don't have to care about the formulas. The sheet automatically does all the math for you.
ok bro
Again, we are not related.
Also, you're perfectly fine to just play the game and learn by doing what works and what does not work...
yea there's some joy in "can i parry this"
i dont wanna risk death and running all the way to get my loot though
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.
If you want to be better at parrying -- Health > Stamina.
Armor being irrelevant to blocking.
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?
Yes.
Okay.
They do the same damage as ones without. Just different animation timings.
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.
dont they have longer range?
Is that a concern when parrying?
i got a pierce weapon and a blunt weapon rn
it is a concern when dodging
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.
thx
so what does troll armour do that makes it different from bronze,excluding movement speed?
Just stealth
+15 to sneak skill when wearing the full set (including cape).
does anyone know the durability on them? are they a big dif from bronze
If you look at it in the workbench it should show you all the stats.
I just bought the game, is it easy to play solo? My friend I'm gonna play it with only plays sometimes, so I was thinking of having a 2nd world for myself
It's different solo vs co-op, but the game is balanced around solo experience. For co-op experience the game scales the enemy damage and hp per player count in same area.

wow i did not expect boat ramming to do so much dmg to serpent. I just crossed the T on a serpent and i took it to a bit more than half health
it did take my longboat to half health too
Trolls without logs throw boulders, so they kinda have the longer range
has anyone ever actually been hit by one of those?
i feel like they miss even if you stand still
Someone said that at first you use bows against trolls. While true, a spear also deal with them really well.
i always take em on with a flint knife and dodge rolls
Flint knives are comically powerful early on
Once you have Buckler, spear is probably the fastest non-sneak way to kill them because you get parry bonus damage + pierce bonus damage.
Stealth archery does make fighting trolls comically simple
Stealth headshots do like half their health
And they act like giant drama queens when it happens, too
They act like your dad when something falls off the shelf and makes a noise
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..
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)
Imagine asking a question about living in the mountains and you get replied to by some guy with "of the Mountain" in their name
lmao
No direct sea access you say? my snowy mountain beach begs to differ
it can happen, though it's not meant to π
haha yeah I got one over near a mistlands
rivers can cut into mountains, and the ashlands ocean doesn't bother changing the biomes to suit their new altitude
sailing in the snow is a cool vibe though for sure
I also just got a tier 5 pike from a river
shit is massive
One moment, I took a screenshot of how easy it was for me to get into ashlands via Karve and feather cape π
It's not entirely clear how close it was. But if I was able to sail in to the 2nd most closes pillar before landmass and glide from the pillar to the next to the shore
it's close enough π
i'm probably forgetting a past conversation that's a continuation of haha
but yea i imagine that's very doable, haven't tried it myself though
does chicken hatch even if i enclosed the hearth itself to prevent smoke?
As long as it says it is warm, it will hatch.
Found another beehive in the black forest, in the same type of tower I always find it in.
so, what is the most space efficient chest/barrel in the game right now ?
no matter the ressource cost
In 2x4 area you can fit 5 reinforced chests, total of 120 item slots vs. black metal chests which you can fit 3 in same area, total of 96 item slots.
thanks. I'm currently storing all my resources away while rebuilding my house. If only we could displace chest without breaking them π₯²
Also to mention while reinforced chests are taller than others you can pile them in same 1m height by building the top shelf first, then continue downwards.
That's how myself and my friend first got to the Ashlands. Pillar to pillar. Swimming in the boiling water. Literally the best memory I have playing this game.
As long as you sail on the border until you spot a piece of land that is close to the border, it's easy to reach the land directly before your boat breaks, without touching a pillar or touching the water
Ye
or you can find a tall mountain close to ashlands, climb up and bait a golem into hitting you very very hard and floating all the way to the ashlands with the feather cape
I canβt wait to do anything but sail to the deep north π
Oh man when the Deep North update drops it's gonna be cool. I can't wait to see all the new creatures!
Even if the sail would be like a cakewalk?
-# This one comment still humors me. 
Hervor made it with longboat. 
-# Probably prior to be changed, hopefully.
There wonβt be any walking, we have catapults now
I wouldn't mind if it was mostly chill but instead of having constant easy fights, you get to pick your fights but those fight are hard
Well yes
It was in response to just the idea of sailing to the deep north
shhhht, don't want them to nerf the feather cloack again π
cool, he says
I just wish the deep north doesnt have the monster density the ashland has

i heard everywhere it would not. it will seem much more cozy... at first
Cozy, until the murder happens
What can you do with barrels in the same space?
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
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.
So technically barrels are the best.
Said technicality being they require access from both sides.
Actually forgot about barrels at first lol.
The limit for me isn't how many chests I can fit, it's how many signs I can fit to know what actually goes in that chest so it's just 4 iron chest by 2x4
There is a point in the game where it's easier to farm material for a black metal chest than a reinfoced chest.
All my extra iron goes to building, so black metal is better for me.
They get delivered to your doorstep.
If you're not clipping chests into each other, black metal chests are about the same where storage to space taken is concerned. There are differing amounts where this changes though. #building-tips message
how are you suppose to stack adrenaline for fins of destiny on the ocean very not usefull.
unless im using them wrong but Im not sure
You can use the forsaken power to activate it again in the ocean
but you are not supposed to have it continuously activated to swim across whole oceans π
my biggest thing rn is ocean travel for my swamp iron but that chance a serpent will spawn is always there just don't wanna drown lol.
Well, once you have swamp gear serpents should not be a problem really, they re balanced to be a challenge for BF progression π
oh ok that's great to know. thank you
So with karve and finewood bow you should be able to kill the reliably if you pay attention, anything more than that just makes it easier π
As Asatru pointed out -- Just pop Eikthyr and your swimming is free for the trinket's duration.
Screenshotting this for later when someone says I am an unhelpful dick π
this ignores the fact that you can squeeze the iron chests in more btw
iron chests will always be more storage per unit area
I literally prefaced that at the start π
Didn't we have this convo and I proved you wrong
Alright lmao
That image is still highly misleading
I don't see how it's misleading at all.
It's displaying two chests having the same value when they really don't
I never claim that, I showcase what the two amount to in that layout
Right, they're chests
But one stores more than the other π
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
We agreed that black metal chests shouldn't be so close eachother in space to storage ratio regardless.
No I didn't
Doesn't mean I agree that they should be so close to each other in storage ratio
I said shouldn't.
lol
They aren't close in ratios
at all
what i'm saying there is that blackmetal should provide more storage than the iron chests
because of vertical progression
Yeah I'm not trying to rehash this point, they are close, and it's okay if you don't agree.
It's fine if you don't agree.
you cannot disagree with facts
It's just not factual, it's how you're viewing the scale of the differences.
I understand, so don't.
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
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.
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
Factually better, but close in ratio.
I think you're confusing what I'm saying a little.
You're hoarding too much garbage if you need to maximise storage space tbh.
That's not the point
It really is. You two are bickering over something that doesn't matter.
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.
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.
I tried to get that point across as well, but the 'valheim is almost infinite' point didn't go over.
What I'm saying is that it's an inherit fact that reinforced chests provide more storage per area, and to deny that is just silly
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.
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
I wouldn't stress so much over that.
because it's complete nonsense
It's really not, especially when it's not even guaranteed players would need enough storage space to notice the difference.
omg cat gif 
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.
to close the chest debate, in the end i chose the black metal chest. because it looks metal π€
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.
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...
I would love if the next chest advancement were similar in slot size to black metal chests, and half the size.
and if you consider how you can cram those chests together, it becomes even more dumb of a progression, but hey
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.
Larger chest, more slots, but hard clearance so you cannot clip them together. Deep North 
Or none at all π
Or, watch them not even have a chest.
Watch DN storage be Barrel 2.0 π
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
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
it's 2 vs 6 bars
i'd rather spend 300 blackmetal on something than 60 iron
world is effectively infinite π
Your time playing is not though
i have so much blackmetal and nothing to spend it on
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.
raiding villages is more fun than raiding crypts
Which is probably why you think it's easier to obtain than iron
now that wood can burn i can let out my inner arsonist with bile bombs
i can get that amount in iron in 3 hrs
it is quite fun to destroy a goblin camp with Ashland gear
full box or iron in 3 hours? nah
not unless you spawn it in or bring up the resource rate
trust me I can, I'll record it when I'm doing my deep north prep
π
You totally can
just getting the ore or also smelting it
just ore but smelting is easy
In Mistlands you can farm decent iron by disassembling structures, but you need to spend time scouting those bridges before that.
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
You are not factoring in scouting an map discovery.
3 hours to gather, smelt and bring it all to your base in the mountains?
without stone portal^^
Generally a boat load of iron takes around 6 crypts.
no ashlands gear
so why are we moving goalposts now?
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.
No food, no gear, only with antler pick. 
where would you get a swamp with that many crypts too, without hopping seeds
no hit keyboard off, steering wheel only
Nah, fishing only, because why not
playing with a steering wheel and blindfolded
World hopping also disallowed π moving goal posts indeed.
Hands tied back.
Just set portals to allow everything atp?
Inb4 that is also disallowed.
no valheim allowed
Get all that iron in that amount of time without playing the game @shy marlin 
I've never understood why are people using these cheesy strategies when valheim Is a sandbox survival, like just use devcommamds or something why bother with bugs glitches and loopholes...
π
spawn iron 300
world hopping trivializes the game too much... feels like cheating
Hopping is from before sliders were made.
Now that we have them, yes, just enable portal everything.
using commands is not the same as using a bug to get somewhere earlier imo
Commands will label your character with the "Cheater!" marker in the stat readout. 
Depends on when you do it imo.
Like if you've collected most all of one thing, then you do need to hop and farm out another world to get more of it.
like if i turn on godmode and then beat all the bosses and biomes with no deaths like it would feel like a chore and wouldn't be an accomplishment
I can't see stats anymore on deaths etc. I just see the items I gathered and crafted
Ashlands gems come to mind as something you legit may need to hop for.
I mean the /stats command itself
Ashlands gems are a pain
Yeah, while typing that
Limited fortresses so if you want to make and upgrade everything, I believe you have to hop to accomplish it.
most people who abuse it are still progressing through the game. from my personal experience. having your friends world hop while you stick to one world makes the game feels pointless
Oh is it bugged or is the character just very very old?
That should be communicated to friends up front and if they disrespect your boundaries they should no longer be your friends π€·ββοΈ
yeah and if there are multiple players then there won't be enough gems
unless the resource rate is high
Not necessarily, but it is a possibility for sure
does resource rate effect chest loot?
Yep
good
imagining 4 or larger friend groups or servers with many players coming and going
got 3 people in a game, we all want Drynwyn.
It's not an old character, I just see items gathered and crafter
why would you want a bad sword
It's not inherently an abuse, my friends and I couldn't always play together so we have solo worlds, but when we do meet up, it's fun to show how far along we are and share things we've discovered in our own worlds.
Gotta hop.
So clear a fortress, log out, crank resource to max, log back in, open chest for more gems, log out, set back to normal, log in.
Gotcha π
It's only abusive if you make it abusive.
That's strange, I'd love to see that if you ever get the chance to screenshot it
loot fortress, count loot, spawn in more to get 3x the amount
Hmm, iirc it affects the loot upon generating the chest, or maybe it was opening? I did test it some time ago, but once you open it it will not affect anything inside if you change drop rate π
what's the difference
Loot is decided before the chest is opened? π
Will try to look up the convo from when i was testing it, either way you cant change the drops usig droprate once the chest has been opened π
Shared the start of the stats list in screenshots
Is it possible to spawn in Flametal? When I looked up the command, its some other ingot that doesnt look like flametal and not sure I could even use it to make stuff with it
The ID is flametalnew
hmmm I saw that too but it was an odd looking ore
Ah you should be able to scroll the list with Pg Up & Pg Down by the Numpad
I did, it start at the bottom with crafts and this is the top
Indeed, but that is very different from world hoping to skip boat travel in a coop world. Or give yourself ressource and equipement with console in solo world then go back to shared world.
My point is just that it's not inherently an abuse, I know it can be abused.
indeed. But when creating a server. I hope we get a world option to disable keeping inventory when world hoping to prevent such abuse.
Skipping boat travel is abusing. Up until you unlock stone portals, morally speaking.
been there, it kind of destroys the point of the run.
I suppose, but it could also just be a problem with trusting who you're playing with.
Many people hop worlds to spawn items in via devcommands. Generally when playing with other people one does not have admin access.
Yep the loot is decided upon generation of the chest π
If you see "Bjorn" logging in and out over and over again it's generally not because he is afraid of afking in base.
Usually people who world hop on servers are easy to spot since they are very bad and still always end up with the best gear before anyone else
How is your wolf armour fully upgraded bro? We have done two veins and split the silver.... π
Or you look in their tomb since they often die and you see their armor has been crafted by someone who was never on the server
Or worse, crafted by no one at all.
I can't upgrade any mountain armor until I have the maxed out Silver Sword.
I can appreciate the dedication
If it wasn't BiS for Yag I would have more options, lol.
Also why tf does the mountain spear require silver but not do ANY spirit damage???
I know you don't like Frostner, but Frostner.
it s was worse than that guys. Imagine you just got back from a big expedition and you split all the resources you painfully acquired in half to be faire. with my share I can craft a single weapon or two piece of armor β¦ but then my pal pulls out the entire set, weapon and a blue gem we haven't found yet.
π€’
irongate things
Good vs. Yag, but not BiS.
No, but it does slap into Early Ashlands.
It does not slap, it punts, which is my issue with it π
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.
Ice cold slaps like Mr Smith!
I agree that would be perfect with the heavy for punt.
Do you prefer black metal or silver sword?
I've been killing yag with the silver knife last few playthrough it's genuinely not bad
Silver is the only sword I use until Krom and only because of Yag. π
for everything not undead, black metal sworld, for everything undead, silver.
- Ulvs and bad guys
Wish I could could speed to Mistwalker. I'm still taking my time in the plains right now.
spawn mistwalker 
It's the placeholder flametal before Ashlands update which was changed to ancient ore/metal and is also obsolete.
Thanks. Are you aware of the code for the Ashlands flametal by any chance/
Blobicycake stated it earlier, the proper flametal ID is flametalnew.
oh ok thanks. I thought I used that and it popped out a red looking ore but maybe Im misremembering. thanks
Yeah, the old ID flametal spawns ancient metal.
will ancient metal have a use in the deep north?
Not a chance, it's something you can no longer obtain
what do you mean "no longer obtain" ?
Because it no longer exist
what ?
The old flametal that you mined before the actual ashland
ah nvm. I confused with flametal
The pre update flametal you could mine from the meteors on ground around old Ashlands. The metal you mined from those are now called ancient ore/metal, having item ID flametal while the actual item ID for the actual flametal added in Ashlands update is flametalnew.
Ancient metal only exist because developers didn't want people who gathered flametal early to skip some progression of finished ashlands
Rightfully so. It was funny to read those posts of those who mined lots of old flametal, only to find out it had no use after the update. 
better than deleting it, at least it's a neat collector's item now
Only if ores and bars could be put on item stands.
There's a fish which isn't a placeholder and some ice platforms that may or may not be used in the finished biome
No
aw
Hopefully they deliver with the update
Ashlands gave the vibe that it was a completely different game
One of my pet theories is that those giants in the concept art are like the charred forts of the deep north.
There are a set number and you get precious loot by beating them.
I have a good feeling about Deep North. The teasers give the impression that they're really making it pretty but menacing, in a more creepy way than Ashlands.
I have yet to see something menacing about it
Not counting the plushie looking seals the only other mob we've been remotely introduced to was whatever that gremlin looking small thing is in the dungeon lol
Well, that's about perspective. I find that kind of empty, serene winter landscape pretty creepy tbh. You just know there's going to be something nasty stalking you
Serene winter landscape sounds like my holiday location
Should I play on my old valheim world that I started after ashlands or wait for deep north? Will my world update correctly for deep north?
Ashlands looks like a lovely warm vacation in the sun
Oh no now you can actually get stuff done apart from fighting
If you haven't explored the deep north in your old world, you can play it there and it'll generate as the updated version
Yeah it's a real shame
Lands, my favorite biome
-# Which people keep asking for somehow...
How do I Make the ground in the mountain biome look the same as the surrounding after leveling it with a pickaxe and flattening it with the hoe or whatever?
It's a darker tone of white
Cultivator - sow grass
It's grass in snowless biomes, in mountains it is snow π
Also makes steep walls you have dug look a lot better
Ty
Bears are op and I donβt think theyβre fun to fight. Change my mind.
Can enemies see you through crystal walls?
And I want to make a moat around my mountain home, is there a way to make a kind of drawbridge or should I just have one entrance through it?
are there any big active servers?
Maybe be another year for deep north?
Max size of a server is 10 people, so not really π
We dont know π hopefully sooner tho, but i think that at the very least few months for sure.
yeah, keep in mind that not only is there a new biome coming with that update, but it is also the game's official 1.0 release, so expect a longer than usual period of testing, balancing and polish once it hits public testing. Me, I have things to do so there's no rush for my sake π
Don't use pierce or blunt weapons, rather use slash weapons. Parrying their weaker attacks is possible even with wooden shield, which are the one paw swings. Also, they avoid fire, so build a campfire or hold torch if situation is dire.
Wish I could get some copper to make one but every time I go into the Black Forest I get killed by a bear.
Flint axe works well
A black forest enemy wouldnβt be balanced around black forest equipment, or how would you fight it the first time you find one?
hop up on a big rock. fill him with fire arrows. he can't get you at the top of the rock (you know, the big boulders?) ... just don't fall off the rock. use fire arrows. easy peasy.
Didnβt do much.
I ran out of arrows.
Knocked him down to 60% ish.
Hold a torch in your left hand and a flint axe in your right, the torch will make it less aggressive
alwasy head out with a full stack. (they work on trolls too)
Bears resist pierce so a bow isnβt a good choice
Even with fire arrows youβre dealing a lot of pierce damage
fire arrows. burn'im!
Idk why a bear would be pierce resistant.
That doesnβt make sense. Blunt I could understand.
resist pierce but not slash. huh? I know.
Black forest already has trolls, high-health enemies that pierce is effective against
Bows would be too strong if they could deal with both well
My theory - the reason is purely gamey - to make kiting it around and peppering it with wooden arrows a less ideal strategy. Works fine with trolls, would be boring if it worked the same with bears.
The second to last bear ate my soul and my raft. 1 star bear came out of nowhere and chased my raft down in open sea. They swim wayyy too fast.
Bears are perfect targets to practice dodge/parry timings.
um 1 stars bear/troll I just runaway until later. (frostner now... c'mon over here ..... THUMP - SIZZLE) π
Aye bears are the primary reason I won't go into the forest at night now until a good ways into the bronze age. In caveman stuff, no way!
bears are super easy to cheese
if you hold a torch they won't attack you bc they are scared of fire
Theyβre just Yao Guai from fallout 3. Fast as F*** and hit like a truck.
Fyi frostner isnt very good against bears βΌοΈ from experience
But great against everything else
bears are resistant to a lot of things
Theyβre apparently resistant to the power of friendship. (One killed my friend when we were exploring.)
They avoid fire, scared of fire is a different behaviour that makes creatures aggro instantly near fire.
Oooh. Don't know if I am grateful or disappointed - but apparently the fire attacks of gjall does not cause fires on flammable materials with fire hazards on.
Go pray to RNGeezus π
how come no one talks about how the fire arrows look like they were drawn in ms paint
Just found a 2 Star Troll and man they hit hard. Just testing my skill with my skeletons and all 4 of them perished in quick order lol.
never found any in hundred of hours
Unless they spawn in or in front of a cave they can start having stars only further than 2000m from centre of the world π
So they are quite rare indeed
Can anyone help me recover my stuff?
Yeah, even with my 5,000 hours I have seen some where between 5 to 10 of them. I explore a lot too.
I've seen a lot of 1 star trolls, though.
Because I lost it in a troll cave with no real way to recover.
Just wait a minute or two and run in for it and then out π you should be able to dodge him once or twice while running for your grave
which mead is better for fighting in the ashlands? the lingering one or the 125 hp one
as a mace melee fighter
If you died close to the opening they are probably back in the back of the cave. If you died in the back of the cave, that sucks.
I never really used the lingering one π€
I use lingering stamina and major healing
alright
I use lingering in Mistlands. Haven't felt a need for it in Ashlands.
im not convinced the lingering stamina meads really help
I use major ones, in the rare times i use meads, because i use meads as the last "oh crap" option basically π
It is helpful in Mistlands. Just not sure about it in Ashlands.
you use major stamina meads?
Yep, not the lingering one.
I thought we couldnt make any yet
Oh, I do recall one time I was glad I had lingering stamina mead in the Ashlands. I was running for my life, at night. Pretty sure I would not have made it without that mead.
Major stam will still be worse than Tasty π
But you dont have to think about it π
Lingering will still block it instead of stacking with it. And it will still have a cooldown. Nothing to think about π
Hmm? Do you mean lingering stam will block tasty? I doesent.
Hmm, it shouldnt, its not the same type of mead, will go test real quick
Major stamina mead and tasty mead at the same time 
Because I said "Major Stam worse than Tasty"
And you replied "But you don't have to think about it." <- meaning the benefit of normal stamina pots over Tasty is they require no thought.
To which I replied:
major stam and lingering stam is same type
Lingering blocks all non-Tasty stamina pots.
But we are talking about tasty and lingering stam π
No, we are not. π
yall are drunk on mead
We are talking about Major Stam and Lingering.
Ah, then i was talking about tasty and lingering since i thought we were talking about tasty from this message π #valheim-chat message
That was me initiating about a potential new Major Stamina (as the primary topic) by contrasting it with Tasty.
yall should use anti sting mead in ashlands
Yeah, and i thought we were talking about atsty since than since you brought it up being better than the stam π
Best to use both tho π
NEVARRR
i like my health regen
Lucky for you, none of those we were talking about block hp meads xD
Heh, tell taht to someone carrying hecking cultivator everywhere, there is ALWAYS enough slots π
OH BUT IMAGINE:
If they had like a double-pint mug that let you load with with 2 meads. Allowing you to drink 2 things in one swig π
Two tasty meads for negative health regeneration 
If I understand how the maths work, youd quart your health regen with two tasty meads
For 10 whole seconds...
Oh no... 2 damage every 2+ seconds.
How ever would I live..
valheim
Yes valheim
No Valheim.
Maybe Valheim
Considering Valheim
Perhaps Valheim
When Valheim?
I'll do you one better! Why Valheim?
How Valheim?
Valheim is a brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odinβs patronage!
I am not a fan of yagluth
whys that
Funny moment:
Me and my friend were killing yagluth and we used 6 lox to help distract him and right when he dieded he did his moteor attack so we were killed by him after he died
Hug his ass and spin in a circle hitting him with frostner for 18 minutes is not a good boss fight
The later bosses just hit so hard that it is unreal
yea i mean that's just kinda valheim bosses for ya tbh
can't argue with that analysis π
This time his ai was hyper aggressive and he was doing nonstop attacks lol. Last time it felt like I could get in and he paused between attacks.
I will say tho you can manipulate yagluths attack such that you can get good 15-20 sec burn phases in but yea
Only way I know to defeat him is hug his ass and spin him so he can't attack
But that worked as usual lol. I wanna try new stuff but I play pretty much the same way every time
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
I can consistently get 2-4 min yagluth kills without the cheese version but yea
I just stand there with my tower shield and beat the crap out of him. Last fight was about 2 minutes.
I have the fire mead going, etc...
yea the only note with the tank strategy is that you still have to dodge his initial aoe hit
if you don't that fire dmg will rapidly increase if you sit in aoe and ur done for even with fire res
I also burned a stamina mead so I could keep hitting him instead of wait to recover. I think I used the silver sword last time. Maybe Frostner,
The "only way" you know is the cheese strat?
Only way I have ever done it
I mean... you could try doing a "no cheese" run and see if it makes you feel differently π€·ββοΈ
I could die and have to come back too lol
I've done plenty of cheesing over the years against the bosses. In the military, we call it staying alive. Nothing wrong with that.
I recently did figh bonemass legit but I had frostner already
THAT IS NOT LEGIT
Frostner, or the silver sword, do make him considerably easier.
Super legit. The stag breaker is great lol
I fought him with a level 3 club. Is that fair?
Chad
NOOOOO
IRON MACE IS THE REAL WAY
You're right. It wasn't. He couldn't even hit me.
Let me guess, you "eat food" before facing enemies?
Wth
π€
If you take the legit risk of going into the mountains to get enough silver to make those weapons... I just think its less riskier just beating the crap out of him with iron weapons.
What the hell*
See
Finaly someone that listens to me
I just do it with a level 3 wooden club.
i just do it with my bare fists
like jason statham
So I don't have to farm nearly as much iron.
Why aren't there any NORMAL PEOPLE THAT PLAY THIS GAME
Dude, I have 5,000 hours on Valheim, I've done everything. Including going into mountains and getting silver gear early. I don't even use hammers to find silver, I'm just good at guessing where it is.
Because it's been out for 4 years and the game is trivially easy.
Its still in early access tho
It isn't that challenging to just dig in the depressions/flat areas to find some.
It blows my mind how some people play this game. Ive seen some no death no hit runs, or like a guy getting into ashlands and fighting the bosses in reverse order and some crazy stuff. Meanwhile im getting killed by wraiths before putting down my portal lol.
sounds familiar π
Yeah, for over 4 years. So I have 5,000 hours playing it. Its all pretty easy to me now.
Pretty accurate me representatiom
I died with the best of them when I started. Practice makes perfect. Even an old guy like me.
I have 200
The main reason I have so many hours is my wife plays too. So we share about 2,000 hours.
Or I get blasted by 5 tar blob machine gun mfs hot dropping me while the world is saving
Fist off 2 star is max second of all blobs cant have stars
5 TAR blobs, not starred.
Not 5 star, 5 of the tar blobs
Growths?
All blasting me simultaneously
That would kill anyone. Except maybe me, depends on my tower shield and if I got the poison resist going.
Stop flexing
Not flexing, just saying how I might survive it. Maybe. I'd have to test.
Yea fair enough
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.
Yea
My kid got me on this gameβ¦. Now Iβm hooked π€¦ββοΈ
One of us! One of us!
There are worse addictions to have.
I donβt build as fast as my kid ( he is 25 ) lol but itβs been fun so far
There's no time limit on it. So long as you're enjoying yourself!
Thatβs what I like about it.
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 π "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 letβs fight this troll now hahah
On to glorious battle! raises a tankard
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.
Iβve killed 2 trolls and just got my first black bear lmao
Iβm obviously still figuring out the crafting so I hord everything
I usually do troll set, but like I said, they have been rare this play through.
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
That is Awesome!
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
At least you can't sink when swimming overloaded π
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.
Ok good to know I wasnβt sure if that was a thing
Havenβt been to ashlands yet. I just started last night
Well it sounds like you're enjoying it so far! Always fun to see the game through fresh eyes!
Take your time and have fun with it. No need to rush for sure
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.
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
Found my first copper deposit . Now Iβm maxed and waddling π€£
lol
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.
I asked my wife to play lol. She prefers geeking on Minecraft
Oh but Valheim is so much better than MC (I say, having never played the latter)
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.
Could also share some of the build videos on YouTube to whet her appetite
Valheim will never match Minecraft for building, but maybe it will be good enough.
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 Iβll 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
You mean... being human?

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.
In the process of making my 3rd base lmao
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.
Just make one megabase boarding a plains and mistlands biome

If I ever find such a location soon enough. I don't know if I'll make it my mega base. I hate having to move all the crap I accumulate. π
Im so lucky to have found a very open space with 4 roots nearby
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
make the cultivator, make soil, plant π
Guys, I just wanted to put a note out there. If you are new to valheim, we are currently at the start of the swamp. Come join us, 3 players currently. Its also in Lf. Have a lovely day everyone.
Yes you can use a controler π
is someone new ? i need a partner to play with if someone intressted
Be sure to look in #1024264966712340510 π plenty of folks looking to play with others there
hii
Had to sail to another island to find a swamp with cryptsβ¦ sailed past it and had to turn around and paddle my way most of the way back ππ¬
lol oops
I cheated and used to online map generator to find them, there were none on my starting island
That's not cheating, that's using the tools available to you π
π word that sounds good to me
I'm a government worker; I can find a loophole! π€£
...well except in how to get paid. π
What's the point of the staff of fracturing? I cant find what it's better at than the staff of embers
dundr π
the magic shotgun
It has a higher damage increase per upgrade than other weapons, at level 3 it deals very high fire damage
Itβs very good at doing fire damage - staff of embers does blunt damage
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
But sof has 1:1 fire and blunt damage types too
Each stack has a timer of course, but Iβve spammed enough that you get like 600-900 fire damage per second on a mob
120/120 - embers and and 12/12 - fracturing
Fracture also used to have a different projectile iirc.
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.
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.
It was right after the patch released at ptb as I remember
Skill weapon took skill and that isn't allowed so nerf π
Chat what's the best setup for pure damage gear wise you think?
There is no one setup.
Yea i get that but is it worth carrying around more than 3 weapons?
Worth is subjective to the individual.
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......
π then give me your opinion instead of non answers
My opinion is you should learn to make up your own mind about things, because that is the best when compared to just following what you are told by random strangers on the internet.
what
You said I was wrong.
I am not.
Dude
mage statistically has the best damage per second
trust me i know what i'm talking about
Okay elaborate
But there is no "one setup."
And you know that.
lmao do i need to pull up the resume
there is a one setup if your goal is to output the most damage possible
I was asking whats the best pure damage and there's gotta be math on it
So i asked
What are these non answers
Like just give me the numbers or your opinion
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
Is it just me or do the trinkets feel useless
(use the staff that best fits the scenario)
Oh my Odin.. proving my point that there is no "one setup" π
It is just you.
well it really boils down to 3 staffs, so there's 3 staff that best fit the one set up
Bronze trinket is literally free Lingering Stamina.
Valheim is having a set up of tools that allows you to do the most damage
So there are 3 setups π
So yes, it's one set up
No?
Yes.
you have zero clue what you're talking about sev
False.
there's no one else in the game that has anywhere close to the level of understanding of builds and combat as I do
Anyway scales
So yes, you're wrong sev
Go on im mostly asking you
I am not, but you do you.
A bold claim
Im not asking you sev
it's true
3 weapons = 3 setups.
If you could dual-wield magic staves we'd have a discussion point, but alas.
i'm off to college soon, i'll dm you if that's cool sometime later today
Sounds good
that's just inherently not true to valheims system
Sure.....
a build is an arsenal of weapons and armor
No, that is a loadout.
that's true for valheim, mmos, etc
So if i switch to an axe to chop a tree that's a different gear set up? A set up is a combination you can't combine one slot and call it a setup
So if i switch to an axe to chop a tree that's a different gear set up?
Yes.
Axe can be used as a weapon tbf
No
Yes.
A set up is setting up on inventory of gear
That's being set up
You're being pedantically wrong
That's the same thing
No.
What's the different between a loadout and a setup really though?
There isnt one
Equipped vs. Held.
Setup = what you are using in the current moment.
Loadout = available options to switch to.
There is none
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
Yeah, backpack is just extra inventory imo
So i can in theory have 8 weapons SET UP
It's not practical to switch weapons if they're in your bag
Right
It's the lategame trinkets that feel useless because they activate once in a blue moon
The the early ones dont do anything
The rest of the time it's just an inventory slot I'll never get back
But if they're in your hotbar, they're basically held, no?
This is just pedantic nonsense
No. You can hold only 1 weapon at a time.
I just run crystal heart because its the only one that feels like its worth its activation cost
π
That is also true
A bit of extra stamina/health regen or a quick burst of health and armor can come in handy from time to time, point is those activate regularly
Potions
Literally useless because potions exist
Potions have a cooldown
Bronze trinket is one of the best in the game...
Shield staff
Which ones that again
That's for one particular gameplay style or when you're in a group lol
Stamina regen.
The regen potions stack with trinkets π
I solod the entire game im only now playing with people with a massively over leveled character
And i dont find it worth it
Doesn't feel strong enough
Reinforcing that worth is subjective to the individual.
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
The later ones trigger once every 100 years and they dont do that much feels like i may as well just take the extra slot for a staff
Personally, I like items with consistent passive buffs over consumables with cooldowns
So trinkets sound pretty neat to me
THE STAM REGEN ONE?
Would be useful if they did trigger, but 100 adrenaline is just too much
100 what?
I usually run blood magic and weapons but idk if that's actually good
100 for late game adrenaline 25% stam regen is basically useless in a pinch
Bronze pendant gives 25% regen and costs 50 adrenaline.
I thought you'd solod the game though? Sounds like it'd be good to me
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
I did ashlands i had to power level my skills because it was aids
I'll be honest ashlands balancing feels so bad
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.
Never been there, sounds tricky though tbf
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
