valheim-chat

[woeful basalt]

huh. Another niche mechanic that i wouldn't have figured out on my own. ty.

i didn't realize the campfire had that effect.

fields of fire intensify

Well this has been a glorious shine on my day. I'mma go nibble some lunch. lovely chatting with yall ;)

[cosmic summit]

Whilst leveling elemental magic would an aoe spell hitting multiple targets grant multiple exp?

Im guessing a group of TWIG is the current meta for elemental leveling?

[winter jungle]

i don't think so

most of things that does aoe damage like in case stage breaker does consider it 1 hit still

[cosmic summit]

So ice staff is the way to go?

[winter jungle]

but haven't tested for very long

[winter jungle]

kinda yea

i recommed to see
EmmaTpotato on yt she always do alot of valheim test

[dapper abyss]

Just royally screwed myself. Died by a body pile in the swamp as the Abomination spawned right there

Going to be fun getting that stuff back!

[cosmic summit]

Tag it with an arrow and lure it away

Is there a black forest nearby? Trolls will fight the abomination

[dapper abyss]

Nope, only border with meadows

I’m going to pop Eikthyr’s power and hope for the best 😂

[winter jungle]

bring some necks or boars behind you to work as distraction xD

[dapper abyss]

Could work for a sec

[wintry valve]

ice staff isnt much better either. They all give different exp rates

[copper bramble]

i think i made a valheim-style meal/feast irl accidentally

wasn't going for it but hey it would fit right into the game

i made a big wooden tray of spiced sausage, stuffed mushrooms and vegetable soup

[lone rampart]

Sounds good! Send me some!

[cosmic summit]

What staff would be best to level with? I'm level 23 magic and in ashlands

[copper bramble]

it's gonna get cold and the shrooms must all be eaten today

[copper bramble]

two health foods and one stamina

(stuffed shrooms are filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon)

[foggy glacier]

You're looking to level elemental magic? trap a stone golem in a pit and use the frost staff.

[tacit crystal]

Or shoot at TWIG, much easier now.

[foggy glacier]

yeah, but it's 1/3. I haven't built a twig yet.

If I'm going to grind, I might as well maximize the benefit by hitting a real enemy. That's why I built a greydwarf farm and draugr farm again this playthrough.

[tacit crystal]

IIRC shooting/hitting TWIG grants full xp, archery target is what grants less.

[foggy glacier]

well that's a different story then.

I thought both TWIG and target were 33%

[tacit crystal]

It's only the target.

I've been leveling some skills with TWIG and it's as fast as normally against enemy mobs.

[molten hamlet]

I have been out of the loop since finishing Ashlands, but what's the word? my Group is waiting for 1.0 for another full playthrough. Any news? or at least educated guesses? I'm feeling the itch again

[tacit crystal]

Call to Arms update was added during September. It added some new things in earlier biomes and added new mechanic for combat, plus improved the combat on slopes and much more.
Deep North is on it's way, but there is no official timeline for the release. Some people guess it releasing in 2026, but unless Iron Gate themselves confirm that, it will still remain as guess.
Following both https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 and https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506 will grant the latest info developers wanted to share with us.

[molten hamlet]

That's not so bad, I'll take a look thank you!

[noble birch]

my WIFI's been out for a day but I came across 2 leviathans beside each other right off the shore lol are they even rare?

[gray sand]

Not rare. Just random.

[noble birch]

YouTube videos be lying then man ive heard there 1% but idk

[gray sand]

YouTube people who focus on content for clicks are a bad source of information?
I am shocked, SHOCKED at this revelation.

[noble birch]

lmaooo

[gray sand]

Shooketh even.

[noble birch]

my own fault for believing tbh

[gray sand]

Well at least we got it all sorted for you today 🙂 💛

Most I have personally ever seen in a cluster is 4.

[noble birch]

I would absolutely love that need some chitin.

[gray sand]

You need chitin until you build the harpoon and the knife, beyond that is has (sadly) zero use 🙁

[noble birch]

those 2 sadly didnt provide enough

Idk if I'm going to use knives that harpoon on the other hand

need it for my industrial animal farm

[gray sand]

I support this if you are giving them space to roam.
If you're using the animal cruelty spawning boxes then I platonically hate you 😛

[lone rampart]

That’s one of my favorite uses for the Valheim Cuisine mod. You can extract barnacles from chitin and cook them

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[noble birch]

idk what those are but I make little barns for them all

[lone rampart]

It was literally in response to “outside of that chitin is useless” but ok 🤷‍♀️

[gray sand]

Some people trap boars in very, very small boxes and put them at the top of towers so they cannot move and just infinitely spawn out other boars that fall from the tower.

[noble birch]

idk about that one I'm ethical

[gray sand]

🫂

[rugged bridge]

Don't worry bro it'll get more uses in the ocean biome update coming this century

[gray sand]

We aren't related.

[rugged bridge]

Cool story bro

[gray sand]

Please stop.

[rugged bridge]

No thank you, I will refer to people with generalized terms whenever I want to

The world's changing, best start adapting

[gray sand]

Someone directly and politely asks you to stop and that's your reply?

[rugged bridge]

Correct, we are online, I simply don't care

[gray sand]

...

[rugged bridge]

Actually I wouldn't care in real life either about someone complaining about getting called bro

I'd probably just laugh at the occasion

[rugged bridge]

Went on a trip to ashlands 2 days ago and I had 4 in a cluster spawn, so they have some pretty weird spawning mechanics

It's even worse that they're entities so I typically crash into them because they don't render in time for me to react

[noble birch]

I try and keep my render distance on 60 I can see them pretty far ahead of me In a boat

[gray sand]

I think I have mine on maximum.

I see all 😮

[noble birch]

my gpu will hit 80celcius lol cant do it sadly

[rugged bridge]

I'd increase it but, just for the sake of dodging the most useless mob in existence? Nahh

I'll take extra performance lol

[gray sand]

Get that 10 Kelvin cooling system

[noble birch]

everything is med for me except draw distance/level detail its high

[noble birch]

I just need a new computer in general its 10yrs old

[gray sand]

👴

[rugged bridge]

Good thing you can remember that

I haven't looked at my graphics settings since first playing the game

[noble birch]

I just hoped in settings lol I'm playing rn

[rugged bridge]

Ah gotcha

[noble birch]

the menu to this game is uncapped so if you wanna do some performance tests hop in that never seen my temps reach what they hit before.

[gray sand]

I have genuinely never looked at the temperature of anything in my computer 😄

[noble birch]

that's a bit concerning but again my stuff is old your setups prob ment

Got to the point that I had to apply new thermal paste to the GPU

[fossil delta]

I have a water cooling system, so never have to worry about anything but leaks.

[gray sand]

I've had this for 4 years? Cranked like $4400 into it because it was my first new-new PC.
And it has been able to run everything I have thrown at it without so much as a stutter. So I've had no reason to check temps 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

My laptop is a different story, but I also only use it when on trips.

[gray sand]

Back to game though. Following my own recommendation and I speed-ran Elder before even touching Bronze so I can use his updated mining power for that.

[noble birch]

nice mines a preowned cyber power I got from a pawnshop for 400$

[gray sand]

Valid. I am a lucky case because I had my $10k discharge bonus from the service. So I was allowed to splurge a bit on something I knew I'd be using for a decade+.

[rugged bridge]

Nice if you're solo but in practice it won't help me much when trying to distinguish between my own performance issues and server lag from my friend's internet dying while he hosts the server

[noble birch]

yea my internet is wild with friends while playing we cant sail together due to my boat hitting a wave and flying in the sky.

[rugged bridge]

I've seen so many funny things lol, like a hare running towards me and then floating up into the air for several seconds

Everything turns into a hot air balloon when the server starts lagging

[noble birch]

ive been playing for maybe 6 days now im at bonemass currently or oogly boogly idk

[chrome badge]

I got my first credit card to pay for my first good PC, and just paid it off over time. It was paid for fairly quickly because it became my only extra expense.

[fossil delta]

Those differences in internet and systems can really screw things up on shared servers.

[rugged bridge]

Price to pay for playing with friends I guess

[fossil delta]

Yep.

[noble birch]

I might do that to be honest I'm ok credit wise

[fossil delta]

If your in the states Costco has some really good systems for barely more than I could build my own for.

[chrome badge]

It can be very much worth it, ultimately it helped my credit score, and I navigated credit carefully from then on.

[noble birch]

Ill defiantly look into it I need an upgrade bad appreciate the advice.

[chrome badge]

Not to worry! Hopefully it works out.

[gray sand]

Does anyone else actively try to keep their weapon skills even?
Like I just got Spears to 25 so now I'm only using Axe/Club until those are the same level.

[chrome badge]

I do that, I enjoy training up lesser trained skills during smelting & mead brewing. It's just nice to have less hangups when switching to a different weapon.

[hidden gorge]

pump failures

[rotund parrot]

I do that with magic which I just started playing with to see what the hype is about, I have them at 44 for blood and 42 for elemental, so far it seems really bad at single target damage, it takes forever to kill a gjall or seeker soldier

[gray sand]

Trader on starting island let's gooooooo.

[wintry valve]

Lately I had an idea that the three traders would have an expanding inventory based on what the players has cleared in term of biomes. Basically randomly selling a limited amount of materials from prior biomes, which refreshes on a regular interval.

[paper marsh]

Yeah not great against weak points

[gray sand]

Ok so spears' attack speed is very noticeable when dodging Greydwarf Brutes.
Because if I try to use club or axe, if I roll then attack they will hit me with there second attack every time due to how slow those weapons are.
With spear, I can roll, attack, and be ready to roll again without any issues.

[nocturne wolf]

Jump back instead of roll so you can begin your attack sooner

[gray sand]

You jumpers and your jumping. 😛

Was on a multi-day exploration run mapping my island. Shield had been broken and ran into a 2-star brute when the only foods I had were honey and berries. So I was dodging my ass off 😁

[nocturne pasture]

When Deep North?

[gray sand]

When it is ready.

[dark coyote]

[laughs in buckler parry]

[gray sand]

My preference as well.

Was broken in this particular instance though 😂

Wondering how much leveling other weapons will cost me though.
Last run I had spears at 50 by the time I hit mountain.
Currently they are sitting at 26 while I work on clubs/axes.

And when I have the bronze to make the sword it will take even more skill time away before I can get back to my beloved.

[kindred apex]

hiya

[wintry valve]

What I dont like with spears is that at some point, I feel like everything is resistant to them.

At least the ask set gives a bonus to piercing weapons, but it doesnt offset the resistances this "everything" has

[gray sand]

I feel this, what I want to test out is the mountain trinket because with their high attack speed you'd be able to keep very decent uptime on that bonus.

Combine it with the Ask set and you've negated resistance almost entirely.

[wintry valve]

Also I think spears can hit stuff that are lower than you now?

[gray sand]

Yeah, the hit box update helped them a lot.

[tacit crystal]

Can hit the draugr spawners. 🤌

[gray sand]

I almost exclusively use battleaxes or greatswords for spawners because of the no MtP 😁

[tacit crystal]

Yeah but the viable option without the need to throw the spear at them.

[noble birch]

just found a merchant

it has a bag symbol

I know I was talking about not listening to yt videos but I discovered you can boat by the shore and if its 300 meters away it will tag it, and well it worked lol

[gray sand]

It spawns at 300m whether you are boating or running.

[noble birch]

yea lol of course

[gray sand]

No boating skill, so better to run 😉

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, each trader have 10 possible spawn points and when one point gets into the render area (approx 300-400m radius from player) the trader will spawn on that location and shuts off the other spawn points of that trader.

[noble birch]

that was explained in the video aswell but thank you

I also remembered to bring portal materials

[orchid locust]

you don't need portal materials if you can't use portals 😏

[noble birch]

this is one of the first games I've played that let you have access to portals super early

[tacit crystal]

There are some good YT channels for Valheim content like Embr, she's good.

[noble birch]

not sure what that means but ig

[trim gate]

@worldly oxide hi

[noble birch]

thats who it was to lol

[orchid locust]

that you should come to the dark side and disable portals 😈

I'm joking, of course, you should at least get one playthrough normally

[gray sand]

No portal is fine.
No map is a no-no.

[noble birch]

absolutely not

[orchid locust]

I honestly find the map annoying and distracting, because if it's there I keep looking at it instead of looking at my surroundings

[noble birch]

I was thinking of what to say cause that's so stupid bro navigating is difficult already.

[gray sand]

I look at the map maybe once per in-game day. Not sure why you would need to constantly reference it 🤷‍♂️

[noble birch]

I look at it a lot aswell lol

then I discovered theres buttons to zoom in and out of it

[orchid locust]

my eyes just fall on it constantly, because it's there

there's no way you don't give the minimap a glimpse every now and then

[noble birch]

I thought you ment pressing m

[orchid locust]

looking at the map once every 30 minutes sounds quite unrealistic tbh

[noble birch]

I look at it constantly

btw|| odin|| keeps appearing a lot in my world should I be concerned.

[orchid locust]

not at all, because he has a chance to spawn and you might just be rolling well to have him spawn constantly

but aside from staring at you, he does nothing

[noble birch]

ok bro's scary the first time I saw him I ran the other way thought it was the grim reaper

[orchid locust]

I shot an arrow at him the first time 😂

I was hoping in some rare drop or something

[noble birch]

I tried that just like hitting a brick wall

[lone rampart]

and that's how he lost his eye... 😹

[noble birch]

😭

[wintry valve]

greatswords dont have multi hit penalties?

[orchid locust]

despite that, he didn't learn the lesson and keeps appearing... but he's old, it's understandable

[orchid locust]

wiki says no

[wintry valve]

also im reading on krom

apparently they are slower. Thats kind of silly

I mean greatswords are slower than battleaxes

first hit is faster tho

[noble birch]

450 carry weight is max

kinda mid but ill take it

[pliant hatch]

No it isn't.

There's a Forsaken power and a mead that can extend it.

[wintry valve]

you can get more but its temporary

corpse run too

[noble birch]

not worth imo

[wintry valve]

Im just saying, 450 aint the max

[noble birch]

understandable

[gray sand]

Do some fishing, very easy to have a bucket of troll mead for higher weight when doing specific tasks.

[noble birch]

just bought a fishing rod to

[gray sand]

Oh I don't let myself buy those 😄

I force myself to find one in the mountains.
Same way I will never buy eggs as they are at the bottom of Sealed Tower, so that is what I force for acquiring.

[noble birch]

im only at bonemass rn

If I knew about the one in the mountains I might have waited

[gray sand]

Fair.

[frozen dove]

I hate being the kind of person to rage-restart the game when large hardships are foisted upon me and my boars D:

I don't know why it's less intimidating to restart the game than to fix whatever-the-hell-is-wrong in the current world :/

[silver vessel]

Anyone wanna give advice for best dedicated server? for a group of people sharing?

there was one host along time ago that had an ez way to share cost but i cant remember

[pliant hatch]

Have you checked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 yet?

Someone in there might know.

[wintry valve]

My assumption is that whenever something goes wrong and you need to rebuild your home base from whatever, you have this instinctive need to repair it exactly as it once was and that seems more complicated than starting over which does not requires you to abide with a preexisting "blueprint".

[gray sand]

Fighting a troll, shaman shows up to heal him -- no big deal, got this

SUDDENLY TWO-STAR BEAR SWIPE

😂

[graceful sky]

oh hell naw guys why is the first boss so hard to find

I dont remember it being so difficult wth

[gray sand]

The bird literally sits on top of the stone that points to where Eikthyr is before you even leave the opening circle.

[graceful sky]

bruh I toggled the bird off before starting cause i remember when playing it was really annoying

[gray sand]

Self-inflicted issue. 🤷‍♂️
The birds explain how the game works.

[solemn dune]

Is there any way to get the wolves on the mountain next to me to not be so noisy aside from spamming buildings until they stop spawning? Like turning down some setting or something?

[wintry valve]

still, initial spawn has the rock that tells you where the first boss is

[graceful sky]

still what?

[wintry valve]

The point where you start the game, the spawn area, with the big stones

it has a rock that tells you where the boss is

[graceful sky]

well I clearly didnt see it if I was searching for it?

[wintry valve]

likely, thats why im telling you where it is

hot dang, I didnt know draugr elites could spawn with stars!

[fossil delta]

They don't do it a lot, fortunately.

[fossil delta]

Tonight I found 3 Draugr Villages and my first skeleton spawner/arena. All in the same meadows. That is highly unusual. At least I will have plenty of intestines for going into the swamps I've also found.

Found Hildir as well, but not the other two.

[copper bramble]

when hitting enemies, do you gain xp per swing or do you get more if one swing hits multiple enemies?

[elder hearth]

What is the objective of Valheim with respect to Lore. I understand that We kill bosses to access the next biom and will eventually kill the last boss in DN but why? To what end?

[copper bramble]

kill odin's enemies to ascend to valhalla

[elder hearth]

Ok let’s hope the lore stones in DN and the ending finally piece it all together)

[weary egret]

Share seed?

Also, morgen' gjall

[distant girder]

mornin gjall

turns out the fenring trophy hand thing is really fun for prank decorating

[round dragon]

Whats everyones go to ways to deal with the new big bears?

[tacit crystal]

Slash weapon.

Either letting them taste their own medicine (paws) or axe.

[keen trench]

Yeh the big trouble is killing the first couple of em to get paw weapons, flint knife / axe is lousy and takes forever, like arrowing down a troll but in constant risk of close quarters one shotting

[dapper abyss]

Shield and sword

[copper bramble]

i hit it until it dies

if you're a gamer you can build a box as it attacks and then place a camp fire under it

[polar osprey]

Just stand on a rock and spam campfires.

[weary egret]

Boxing and campfires cheese is so lame

Enabling god mode is probably easier if ur gonna play like that

[silk token]

their lunge swipe attack is weak, you can parry a 1 star bear with a wooden shield if you have 3 health foods and then get in 3 crits with a flint axe.

[silk token]

if you’re a gamer you can kill it normal

[shy marlin]

If you’re a gamer you can kill it blindfolded

[orchid locust]

it's generally "if you hit at least one enemy per attack you get a fixed amount of exp", so hitting multiple ones doesn't reward you more exp (which I'm not a fan of, because hitting more enemies is objectively harder and more dangerous).
And sure, most weapons are effectively single-target weapons, but you can hit more than one enemy if you position yourself well (I did it with both atgeir and spears, but it's hard to get the angle right), but swords is the most egregious example of how the system doesn't work: you get no penalty for hitting more enemies, but at that point it's better to just hit them one at a time if you care more about the skill

[silk token]

true actually

[west pulsar]

Deadass and they do it on the second easiest boss in the game

It's not like its HARD

[shy marlin]

All bosses are not hard 😏

[pliant hatch]

Not for you.

They run away the moment you even start sneezing.

But not all player are that skilled yet.

[nocturne wolf]

Show up to the bosses without wearing armor and they'll think you're scales and run away

[shy marlin]

Damn I thought the smirk indicated sarcasm oh well

Yes obviously

[woeful basalt]

I found it! It took scouring every scrap of land in the biome, but i finally found the elusive ||turnip seed||

[sterile oak]

I just entered a different black forest and it also had a bear right there...

DAMN

[nocturne wolf]

Free loot

[woeful basalt]

yeah, like trolls, they can be vexingly commonplace, especially in narrow or small black forests.

[nocturne wolf]

Bears spawn more frequently than trolls but have the same spawn limit

they have a 15m hearing limit so they're easier to avoid than trolls

[woeful basalt]

the game does a really good job on ensuring that there is at least one troll nearby. it can be tricky to pinpoint, but one thing i've come to notice when trollhunting is that it is best to spiral out from that location, because another one is likely to spawn just over the hill.

there have been times when I've walked through around two hundred meters of black forest and killed three trolls along the way.

with some maps, running into a troll is inevitable, while with others, it takes a skilled tracker to find even one.

by the look of things, bears follow a similar spawning rule.

[dapper abyss]

Congratulations I’m still out there looking

[woeful basalt]

I was so close to having to visit a second swamp to find it ;-;

to be fair, the swamp i first arrived to was a bunch of shoreline ribbons

(feels the urge to plug the old wisdom) most dangerous place in the world is a swamp pinnensula.

[sterile oak]

i don't have the tools for it

i pelted one with fire and flint arrows and only got it down to 3/4 hp

granted I was running for my damn life for most of it

[nocturne wolf]

They resist pierce so bows aren't good, even with fire arrows you're dealing a lot of pierce

[sterile oak]

also I went back to the copper deposit and the bear came back

[nocturne wolf]

Use an upgraded flint axe

[sterile oak]

an AXE??

[nocturne wolf]

Slash is best for them

[sterile oak]

melee a bear?

how much damage do they deal

[nocturne wolf]

25-55 depending on the attack

you can roll through their attacks to avoid damage

[sterile oak]

Bite: 55 Pierce
Claws: 50 Slash, 40 Chop
Swipe: 25 Slash, 40 Chop
Slam: 50 Blunt, 40 Chop, 40 Pickaxe

[nocturne wolf]

chop and pickaxe don't damage players

[sterile oak]

i've only got 95 hp

using cooked deer, boar, and golden mushroom

[nocturne wolf]

They avoid fire too, if you hold a torch they'll be less aggressive

[sterile oak]

how much does leather affect?

Bears will avoid fire, they will run away if they get within 3 meters of a fire source. They will still attack players holding a Torch, but they will alter the attack direction at the last moment, making many attacks miss.

[nocturne wolf]

If armor is less than half of damage taken (which it will be here), just subtract armor from the damage

[sterile oak]

hmmm

one moment

[shy marlin]

Just use flint axe and the wood shield, if you feel unsafe or low on hp swap the shield to a torch

[sterile oak]

i have 7 armor what does that do

[nocturne wolf]

-7 damage to all of these attacks

Here's how armor works https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[tacit crystal]

The swipe attacks can be parried even with wooden shield.

[sterile oak]

god damn greydwarves

i died

where did the bear go?

did it despawn?

i had my bed really close

got the bear to less than 1/2 hp

so where did the bear go? @nocturne wolf

[nocturne wolf]

Most creatures don't despawn, a bear will only despawn if it spawned at night and it is now day

[tacit crystal]

Some mobs try return to the place they spawned in.

[woeful basalt]

I was vexed to discover that I would have never found one star wolves no matter how far i went to search the mountain biomes, since they can only spawn at night, and will - unless penned and fed - vanish in the morning.

Being in the habit of sleeping whenever possible, that is.

[sterile oak]

it went back to the copper lol

i kited the bear while pelting it with fire arrows

[woeful basalt]

everything is better with fire

except maybe houses.

depends on the architect

"The only walls i build are walls of fire"

[nimble aurora]

not sure if this is known but female vikings using the bear set are basically naked in the chest area

[lone rampart]

Oh it is known.

[nimble aurora]

am i the only one who thinks it would genuinely look better with some sort of coverage?

[lone rampart]

“That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.” Also why I skipped the bear armor 😹

[nimble aurora]

is that what they said lmao

[lone rampart]

I’m paraphrasing for comedic value

[nimble aurora]

ah i see

like bro i like boobs as much as the next bloke but i feel like the set would look more complete otherwise

[plain hollow]

Hey grugs

[hasty mesa]

yooo, anyone got some advice for me trying to host a valheim game on a server for the 1st time?

[tacit crystal]

Is it dedicated server?

[hasty mesa]

umm, im not sure what you mean

i want to find a site to host me and friends to play on a valheim world for 2 months

[tacit crystal]

So 3rd party to host your world, which is dedicated server.
People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might be able to provide info for that.

[hasty mesa]

awesome thx

[graceful fractal]

if i dont have a pc laying around,should i pay for a hoster or do that on my main pc?would there be a performance hit?

[radiant gorge]

It feels awesome to finally have a person to play with, after more than a year of looking

[cerulean cedar]

it depends on your pc, anything modern and slightly above the average pc would do fine.

[graceful fractal]

is there a hoster with a one day trial or something

[cerulean cedar]

i've always hosted locally

the last setup i ran a dedicated server on while playing at the same time was a 7700k / 1080 ti/ 64 gb ram pc

[cosmic summit]

how much stone should i bring with me to raid a fortress?

[merry pebble]

Eh, you dont really need any

[gray sand]

Why do you need stone to raid a fortress?

[lone rampart]

Catapult ammo?

[merry pebble]

Ah, i use rams when i actually want to destroy the gates 😄

[tame perch]

ROCK

[fossil delta]

Stack of 50 should be enough.

[cosmic summit]

I've heard the best way to get inside is to use a hoe to raise ground against the walls. That requires stone

[fossil delta]

It's a great way to do it and not destroy gates, etc...

Especially if you want to use it for yourself.

[cosmic summit]

I probably should take one for personal use. My current ashlands base is just some guasten walls slapped up haphazardly around a dwarfs castle next to where I first made landfall

[rotund parrot]

A hoe and stones will certainly get you inside but then you are very much in the open, attacked from all sides and in range of ballista's. I find it safer to get in through the wall or door as intented as you create a choke point for them giving you the advantage

[cosmic summit]

How does one unlock the schematics for ballista and rams?

[rotund parrot]

flametal and ashwood for the ram

[cosmic summit]

Oh, I must have it already

[wintry valve]

you need the cog thing too, I think

[cosmic summit]

What cog thing?

[wintry valve]

nvm I was wrong for the ram

[tacit crystal]

Cog from Skuggs in fortresses, they unlock catapult.

Ballista is Mistlands tier, have you crafted mechanical springs?

[noble birch]

found another merchant sailing along the shore it has a culdron symbol

#screenshots

imma hold off for now though looks like it goes into the plains biome def not ready yet

[gray sand]

3 merchants.
Bag, Shirt, Cauldron.

Cauldron is in the Swamp.

[noble birch]

I dont whant the bog witch rip

[gray sand]

Welp, you have spawned her. 😁

She is permanently there now.

[noble birch]

atleast its close I seen the spawn rates and stuff I feel like im getting lucky

[lone rampart]

Big witch wants you

[noble birch]

I feel for the last one though it wont be the case

[noble birch]

no im cooked

[lone rampart]

In a cauldron over low heat

[noble birch]

I also learned you can literally skip iron and go straight to silver

without killing ||bonemass||

stagbreaker is the best tool ever

[gray sand]

Eh.

Can vs. Should.

[noble birch]

yea idk

[gray sand]

Iron is something you never stop needing.
So skipping it is... Just delaying it more than anything.

[noble birch]

I see I see

[gray sand]

Also you're skipping the ability to build with stone, skipping the heavy meat hook cooking rack, skipping the prep table and all the foods that unlocks.

[noble birch]

well Im still going to kill him lol and ive been mining iron

OH THE STONE TABLE omg

I never built it now I see im going to

[gray sand]

It gives you way more build options and something to do with all the stone you got from mining copper 😁

And ironwood beams have the highest structural points in the game.

[noble birch]

Been wanting to build with stone for a while never thought about it though

I use the iron beams for my bee farms

[gray sand]

Segue: shout out to the new Elder power.
I made it through the entire bronze age in less than 2 days.

That's cultivater, buckler, pickaxe, mace, spear, axe, and bronze armor all at rank 3.

Mining bonus is a fking BEAST at that stage of the game.

I have enough to build the atgeir and sword as well, just wanted to get into iron so I am saving the 52 extra bronze for Mistlands because Krom.

(2 irl days, not game days ofc)

[neon magnet]

My level of commitment in this game is horrid

I must've reached bronze like 20 times by now and iron only once 😄

[jovial sleet]

How are fist weapons now?
I noticed there's none for the last few biomes..
I really wish weapons were more consistent across biomes, like no early two-hand swords

[gray sand]

Fists are fine.
And not having every weapon in every biome is by design.

Fists do fall off by Ashlands though given the last weapon for them is Plains.

Likely they add a final fist weapon in DN. But who knows 🤷‍♂️

[jovial sleet]

They don't have any reach right?

And block isn't very good

[light moat]

Well to be fair, I would be surprised if fist weapons had much reach 🤔

[jovial sleet]

I mean they have wolverine claws.

[light moat]

They’re pretty fast, and I think they build stagger decently well?

[jovial sleet]

Like I don't know how the perform against things you would want to reach and stagger from a mace against or something.

When I'm fighting wolves, getting a hit before they get close enough to attack basically negates them completely

Especially with the frost hammer

[light moat]

I haven’t used them too much really, I used the fenris claws a fair bit. They did pretty well for me even into Mistlands.

[jovial sleet]

Yeah I wouldn't want to get invested using fists just to have them fall off and not have any new cool variations:/

That really sucks. Even if there is one in the final biome, you're still just not getting anything new and cool for a while

[light moat]

Yeah I feel that. Fist weapons have a pretty limited pool of weapons. More of niche thing imo

[gray sand]

Blocking with them is decent actually. Just doesn't hold up in later biomes.

They work pretty well up to Plains.
Mistlands is where they drop off a bit and Ashlands they aren't good.

First one for them is in BF, upgrade in Mountain, final in Plains.

[jovial sleet]

But a lot of the joy is actually getting new weapons.
The visuals and other upgrades is awesome across biomes.

Watching your sword and mace go from a bundle of sticks, to a crude weapon, to something workable, to a beautiful work of silver, and so on, is awesome

[gray sand]

Bear Paws to Wolverine Claws to Undead Bear Manidbles is pretty cool tbh

[jovial sleet]

But then you could have insect Pinchers or mandibles, demonic bone shards, all kinds of cool things

Or actually metal

Having your fists glow with a different types of upgrades in the fire lands would be amazing

[silk token]

they delete mobs disgustingly fast, their stagger is strong if you kick, but yeah you cant block much

[gray sand]

FIRElands?

Banish this heathen.

[neon magnet]

When you're trying to carefully align a build when standing on a ladder and your character starts gliding at the minimal possible pace...

[tacit crystal]

But damn they nice.

2 hit combo, every second hit deals 2x weapon damage, kick secondary has 6x stagger multiplier, so quite comfortable to stagger even starred fuling berserkers.

[cosmic summit]

Having poison claws in mistlands would make more sense than the poison axe

[hard sluice]

(and they have high enough parrying, so instead of using reach to get the 1st hit, you can start with a parry and follow up with a lot of dmg)

[cosmic summit]

You're making me want to start over with fists

[hard sluice]

(i said that, but i dont use them)

[rich matrix]

Hey guys I’m new here! Just wanted to introduce myself and say that after discovering Valheim 4 days ago, I literally couldn’t not be more in love with the game. It’s f***ing amazing. Also what’s the best way to find people to play with? I assume there’s a specific channel for that..

[lone rampart]

Welcome!

[rich matrix]

Thanks raindancer! 🙂

[light moat]

Welcome! You can join other players here https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

Nuuuuuuuuu

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge!

[noble birch]

lmao an hour after finding the bog witch I have found my final merchant

sailing is to fun bro reminds me of sea of thieves just less task intensive

[gray sand]

Theft is a crime 🙁

[noble birch]

solo slooping is goated though

HUH?

who stole what

btw anyone have some tips to build/remove things in water I'm building a boat dock and these huge rocks underwater are pissing me off.

[gray sand]

Use Q to switch your snapping point.

[noble birch]

I need to destroy the rocks underwater aswell

thats my issue rn

[gray sand]

Need to use devcommands debugmode, then press Z to fly and ignore water to be able to mine under it.

[cosmic summit]

Its incredibly tedious but you might be able to remove them during a storm

[noble birch]

bro thats actually genius

its right along my shore line to it might work

[cosmic summit]

Waves go way up, then they go way down. When they're down if the rock is shallow enough you might be able to get a pickaxe swing on it

[noble birch]

I will try it lol thank you so much

[cosmic summit]

Glad I could help 🙂 post some screenshots if it works out

I used the storm to mine out some rocks on my dock so I could place a lighthouse. It was stressful and I nearly drown, but I got the job done

[gray sand]

@rich matrix pinned in this channel you will find the food sheet and the blocking sheet if you need informational resources.

[rugged bridge]

Try playing on a server hosted by your friend who has garbage internet

Then the waves go way up, and then they keep going way up

Suddenly you're playing escape the flood on your screen instead of valheim

[tacit crystal]

Go ahead! 👊

[gray sand]

I feel like raids are bugged in my world.

Because I am on day 40 and have yet to have a single one (prepping to kill Bonemass)..

@stoic gust that technically should be in #mods-screenshots

[stoic gust]

my bad, i missed that channel

[gray sand]

No worries! 💛

[tiny tiger]

Do the new training dummies give adrenaline

That makes them perfect for raids

[rich matrix]

Just found it, thank you 🙏 🙏

[gray sand]

Any questions, feel free to ping me!

[cosmic summit]

is 30 magic skill signifiantly different from 29?

[nocturne wolf]

No

[sterile oak]

quick question: can you block/parry attacks from bears?

[foggy glacier]

absolutely

[tacit crystal]

Their weaker attacks can be parried even with wooden shield and meadows tier foods, but their stronger attacks require more.

[noble birch]

just realized my worlds been set to easy for 2 days rip I do it to balance when my freind joins

makes the game 5x harder for no reason

wow look another person joined were gonna give enemy's a huge health pool now (balancing) no idiotic

[cosmic summit]

enemy hp pool only increases when other players are nearby

[noble birch]

it does not feel like that yet again we are by eachother a lot

[wintry valve]

each players add 30% hp to nearby enemies

so, in theory, enemies should go down faster

[sterile oak]

how rare are bear head drops? I just killed a 1-star and it didn't drop one :(

[foggy glacier]

10%

[gray sand]

If you made your world after the update and just need one for the hat, Haldor has one.

[sterile oak]

Who?

[gray sand]

Trader, black forest.

[sterile oak]

oh

huh

[gray sand]

Did you make your world after the combat update?

[sterile oak]

i just made it a few days ago

so probably?

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Haldor i don't see a bear head listed?

[gray sand]

Ok, so when you find Haldor, he has a bear rug on the ground next to him.
Destroy it for your free bear trophy.

[sterile oak]

oh

neat

[gray sand]

Probably unintended, but it is very useful 😄 As a guaranteed way to be able to complete the set.

[shy marlin]

Can thank me for finding that one out 😏

[gray sand]

First hitbox issue since the update:
If using battleaxe, if you chop a birch tree down and are level with the log, you cannot hit it. You just swing right over it.

[fossil delta]

I run into that even with axes. If its not at the right elevation in relation to you, you won't hit it. You have to roll it to be higher or even lower. Been having that problem in my current solo play through with the bronze axe. It looks like I should be able to hit it, but I won't.

Its not a new issue either. Its something that has existed for years.

[gray sand]

Birch logs just too thin 🙁

[solemn dune]

did you know if you click and hold on the red circle on the map while you are being raided, the exclamation mark in the middle of it changes size?

or if you hold any button while you are being raided actually

[solemn dune]

wait what i got no skill drain for 10 minutes after killing a fuling?

[copper bramble]

did you die

[weary egret]

@fossil delta allo where seed

[coarse gust]

ngl would be cool if you got the buff if you survived with less than 1 health.
or less than 1% of your total health

[fossil delta]

cu9iXZk8bz

[weary egret]

Tyvm bro, u give me reason to log valheim again

[solemn dune]

not to the fuling no. I had died a little more than 10 minutes before I killed the fuling though

[orchid locust]

it's a visual bug: the icon reappears under certain conditions (which I can't seem to identify) but your skills can go down if you die again

at first I thought it reappears when you get near the place you died before, but it also randomly reappears where I didn't die at all, so I'm not sure what's going on there

[grand juniper]

Anyone got word how close we are to the North Pole biome update? Hopefully by winter or early next year its done

[idle spade]

i wanted to make a small outpost for swamp adventures but i went a little overboard and now i got a big base and plans on replicating it in the swamp how do i stop myself, also are stone elevated structures safe in the swamp or will they be destroyed?

[heady parcel]

Why should you stop yourself? Build away I say! By "stone elevated" I presume you mean you have raised ground a bit to build on. You will get occasional wraiths flying over the walls, and draugr archers will probably try and shoot out torches and so on, so occasional repairs will be necessary, but there's nothing that will raze a base to the ground if you just make sure they can't walk up to the walls...

[idle spade]

no i meant stone pillars and then arches and then building with even more stone!!! :D but maybe raising the ground a little bit

prefer not to though, to keep it a bit natural

[heady parcel]

My method for that kinda thing is to raise a very narrow spike of ground and enclose it in stone to make it look better. Mobs can destroy the stone of course, but that is quickly repaired, while the structure on top remains sound thanks to the core out of raised ground.

[silk token]

all stone or wood CAN be destroyed im not sure what you mean. an abominatioins has lots of good building destroying aoe moves, but so do trolls and lox there's nothing that special about swamp

[heady parcel]

By the way, when building in the swamp I tend to base my builds around the petrified trees - those are indestructible. 🙂

[idle spade]

i posted my base that i want to replicate in the swamp in #building-screenshots

ofcourse not exactly the same way but this is more as a blueprint and to find the right ways to do things

[grand juniper]

Has anyone ever built a base in the swamp? I never see people do this, it's like the most unpopular biome

[steel mica]

Players have built in the biome

[heady parcel]

I have never had my main base in the swamp, mostly because by the time I get there I have usually already established a core base. So when I find a major swamp with many crypts I'll make an outpost with some storage, repairs and resting capacity. This from a no-portals perspective, with portals all that's needed is space enough for a portal really.

[tribal trench]

I have a tree house in the swamp located right next to the bog witch to this day it still stands because it is built into one of those ancient trees that can't be cut down.

[candid basalt]

Tree house outposts are great for swamps. And then you empty all crypts, load up boat and never return

[lone rampart]

There is no stopping it now. EMBRACE IT

[candid basalt]

Also swamp bases are perfect for spooky vibe builds like haunted castles etc

[heady parcel]

Only drawback is that since the petrified trees can't be knocked down you need to do a fair bit of exploring to find a good location that fits your plans...

[idle spade]

i have noticed enemies are less likely to attack my walls if there is some sort of entrance so i am gonna try to build around that

current plan is, make small treehouse for portal, gather loads of stone, bring stone in through portal, then starting the building

[fluid cove]

oh how would i love to have fluid simulation in this game so I'd have a reason to build Roman aqueducts

considering tar draining is a pseudo fluid simulation already

(is it thought? im not 100% sure how it works internally)

[idle spade]

yeah that would be amazing! sadly i think they would have to change a lot for that, then again, maybe tar shows its possible i haven't accessed the plains yet i don't know how it looks like in person lol

[weary egret]

I have yet to find a swamp with enough crypts to make a base there

A friend has found over 20 once, i never found more than 5 in a single swamp

I didnt waste much time farming iron anyway, im not gonna make every piece of upgraded iron gear

[sterile oak]

holy shit trolls are terrifying

i got one down to half health by kiting it and hitting it with fire arrows and then it escaped the trees and started chasing me

then as per usual, greydwarves, greylings, and boars decided it was a good time to attack me

greydwarves are so annoying man I just wannna fight the troll

okay I managed to run away and kill the greydwarves, returned to the troll and pelted it with flint arrows

I know it's not actually so dangerous now that i've upgraded my armour but it's so imposing

omg now a bear and another troll are chasing me

😭

[fluid cove]

#screenshots message

check out this island

[weary egret]

Holy eureka

[undone forum]

My personal record is about 36. Never seen something like that since

[sterile oak]

quick question, is it normal for a troll to respawn in the same place?

because there was a troll in the same spot twice

I returned after killing one and there was another

HE RESPAWNED IN THE SAME SPOT AGAIN

[foggy glacier]

Yes, it can happen. The map has spawn points.

[sterile oak]

damn

[orchid locust]

I swear, these mobs sometimes make no sense: from time to time they literally fake me by turning away from me (as if running/repositioning themselves) but they quickly start an attack animation right after... I died twice already because of that, and I can't even predict that in any way unless I'm always standing still without attacking...

[foggy glacier]

are you talking early game?

which ones?

[orchid locust]

and in normal circumstances that's not a big deal, but losing all your skills in hardcore because of terrible visual cues is just unfair

honestly, I noticed it on every mob, more or less, but bigger ones tend to do it more often

[foggy glacier]

hmm, so you're thinking actual AI issues, not like fire avoidance.

[orchid locust]

yes

[sterile oak]

i almost killed a bear and then it ran into the water and despawned??

[weary egret]

Could it be skill issue?

[foggy glacier]

I haven't noticed an issue in my current game. Only mob I can't figure it's attack pattern is lox.

I can't time my parries on them yet.

[orchid locust]

in that regard bears are the "buggiest" because you can't predict what they will do if you're holding a torch with 100% accuracy

like, one bear doesn't attack you even once before you kill it, while others decide to go for an attack every 10 seconds even if you have a torch

[chrome badge]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.....................................................................................................................

Sorry, cat decided to walk over keyboard

[foggy glacier]

why bother with the torch then? you can parry them with a buckler.

or literally walk to the side to avoid their attacks.

[orchid locust]

what if I wanna build exactly where the bear decided to loiter?

and that's beyond the point I brought up anyway

[foggy glacier]

I agree with you in one sense. The timing and frequency of bear attacks is pretty good at being random.

[chrome badge]

I had a bear perfectly utilize it's bite attack to throw in a mixup, and it almost killed me. It was doing swipes and stomps only for the entire fight, then I learned it could bite and hit 3HP while staggered.

[west pulsar]

Is bro getting washed by a bear?

[idle spade]

wow found 2 rocks in a small area, i thought they were rare? anyway 2 more pet rocks :D

[gray sand]

Using spear in mountains to snipe drakes and idk what people see as the issue 🤷‍♂️

[tiny mortar]

one miss and youre never seein that spear again

[gray sand]

Yeah but when they fly up to you their wings are fully spread so you have to like... try to miss a target that wide.

And if not confident, just position so you're always throwing toward the mountain.

[silk token]

i’m just so pleased you’re using battleaxe and spear ☺️ truly the greatest weapon combination

[gray sand]

I finally got raided.

Was beginning to think that shit was bugged.

[silk token]

wolves?

[gray sand]

Better - drakes.

Free freeze glands and trophy dropped for the helmet.

[silk token]

ooo free freeze glands

[gray sand]

Not that any hat could ever replace the dverger circlet

[silk token]

smh

[glad night]

I’ll take Fenris hood over the circlet

[gray sand]

Heresy.

[glad night]

Fenris set with feather cape? Perfection

[gray sand]

NO CAPES!

Also Fenris set was one of the armors that made me switch to not having a cape 😄

[glad night]

Why?

[gray sand]

Because of how awesome it looks with no cape?

[glad night]

Looks better with the feather cape.

Plus the added effect…

[gray sand]

Better is subjecthive.

[glad night]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-card-uno-uno-cards-gif-13032597

[gray sand]

Also the added effect crutch*.

[glad night]

You telling me you don’t like the effect it gives?

[hard bolt]

/nick Kalam

[gray sand]

Not at all, lmao 😄
How many people you seen die to "Oh I thought I had the cape on so I jumped."
None of that existed before it was added.

[glad night]

I’ve never experienced that, because I don’t use it as a crutch lol

[gray sand]

You are the exception, not the rule.

[glad night]

That’s skill issue, not the cape’s fault

[gray sand]

Only time I ever wear capes now is when I have to go into the mountain.

[glad night]

Which do you wear? Wolf?

I haven’t been to Ashlands, so don’t know capes from there

[noble birch]

ok this games parrying is awesome

[gray sand]

Eh, whichever one is closest and has the frost resist. (Wolf/Lox/Feather)

[noble birch]

stone golem got shit on

[gray sand]

Take it back off when I am done with mountain.

Ash cape is nuts though with the attack stamina cost reduction.

[glad night]

Can one equip items while falling? I haven’t tried it

[gray sand]

🤷‍♂️

[glad night]

spoilers

[gray sand]

Probably not fast enough.

[glad night]

Still blows my mind that people can’t tell if they have their cape equipped, in a third person pov

[gray sand]

Meet more people, be surprised less 😉

Because why they would ever take it off in the first place is even more baffling 😄

[glad night]

Recently died 🤷🏻‍♂️

[gray sand]

Battleaxe for woodcutting is goated.

[nocturne wolf]

Jumping first allows you to equip items and play many other animations without slowing down

[full mesa]

whats the biggest creature in the game

[gray sand]

Queen or Fader most likely.

For non-bosses, largest by volume is gjall if I had to guess.

[full mesa]

dyk what the max star i can give a creature is

[gray sand]

You don't give anything stars so the question makes no sense.

[full mesa]

dev commands

[gray sand]

Max star level you can spawn in depends on what you are spawning.

For most things it is 2, some things have no stars, and fish have 5 maxmium but can be spawned only with 4.

[silk token]

poggers. this gentlemen has 2 thumbs and also a knowledge of haldor's whereabouts in his mapless game

[gray sand]

2 thumbs down because mapless 😉😏

[noble birch]

I thought all I had to worry about was ||wolfs, and drakes|| in the mountains but nah theres ||lycans|| to

my fear of things chasing me love's this game

[silk token]

dont hate because odin didn't teach you to read the great tree. i had to sacrifice an eye for the knowledge

[gray sand]

Fenrigs spawn only at night.
Ulvs are only in caves.

[noble birch]

havent seen a cave yet

[gray sand]

Life is too short for the energy required in hating something. 😂

[silk token]

don't.... be jelly?

[gray sand]

I am content. I have nothing to be jealous of 🤷‍♂️

[silk token]

this is gonna be like me getting you to use battleaxe, one day you're gonna be loving a no map world

[gray sand]

Nope.
Because battleaxe already falls off due to animation timing. Like I said.
I gave it the full fair shake, but it needs to be literally 0.1s faster to work for me.
Amazing woodcutting tool though. 😁

[silk token]

i thought u were using it in the last run and liking it except for like 1 or 2 enemies you thought you couldn't counter after you parried

[gray sand]

If it was still OG Bonemass making you an immortal god of face-tanking so you didn't have to care about hits during wind-up, I'd use it.
But the fact I can parry things and they recover before I get the hit off is a non-starter. Tested all the way through Ashlands before reconfirming how I feel about it.

[gray sand]

Seekers have the same issue unfortunately.

[silk token]

dont parry seekers just smash them. i still say you're parrying when you should be swinging

[gray sand]

No.

If every weapon had a unique way you had to use it, you would have a point.
But this is the sole exception in a system that otherwise allows you to be both offensive or defensive with any weapon.

[silk token]

if you hit them with an attack and they stagger, you have enough time to reposition and do a 1st swing again and crit them. idk how u don't have time to attack after a parry

[gray sand]

If I can get HAMMER swings off before recovery I should be able to get battleaxe swings off.

No. Valheim is a specific place. Hence the game.

Valhalla isn't in the game either.

It's not a step before in the general sense.
It is a step before for you, specifically, due to the storyline.

Everything and everyone else in Valheim is there to stay.

Still don't know what vril is.

[silk token]

????? literally it says it in the first 10 seconds of the game it explains the entirety of what valheim si and why you're there

[fossil delta]

We earn our way into Valhalla here in Valheim.

[silk token]

nobody said that specifically

i assume it, but

[gray sand]

Yes.

It has been spoken.

[silk token]

whenwhere?

[fossil delta]

It is stated.

[silk token]

which stone?

[gray sand]

If there is a specific in-game line for it I am sure Winter has it.
But the devs have also confirmed it many times.

That is the purpose of the game and why it will have a defined ending in 1.0
We are not meant to stay here. Get in, kill Forsaken, ascend.
That's why you can't recruit dverger and make Minecraft villages and such. Because we are merely passing through.

[fossil delta]

It's in game. Winter probably has the specifics saved.

#mods-discussion

[glossy heath]

any text currently in the game doesn't support valheim being some kind of proving ground for the chosen that are sent there. (as in, doesn't imply that we were sent there because we aren't worthy yet)
but it is heavily implied we'll eventually reach valhalla since being worthy of valhalla at our death on the battlefield was the condition for being chosen to deal with the forsaken's current plan

[gray sand]

Does it specifically say we died in battle though? 😉

[silk token]

that's a fair point, the fact that you're chosen as an honored dead means you're inherently worth of valhalla

but we were being semantics nerds about it being implicity stated to us as a reward for our hard work

[gray sand]

We are geeks, there is a defined difference.

[glossy heath]

the wording's a bit..."poetic"'s not the right word, that leaves some of it up to interpretation for sure, i just read it that way

well yeah, to scour the battlefields for the greatest warriors. what viking just hangs around and is like 'that fight last week was sweet. ima just sit here a while longer"

[gray sand]

So I hold to my theory that we got chosen because we would have been Valhalla candidates, but unfortunately died in some other way.
So this is our "Odin being nice and giving us a path" arc 😁

alright well i'm happy with my geekness. just making sure i didn't miss some crazy runestone cuz i do read them all. when ashlands first came otu there was a sign in my base that said "WHO IS THE WINTER CHILD?"

[glossy heath]

fair, i'm bad at sounding normal

[gray sand]

You are now in the category of "Better Friends" instead of just baseline friendship.

there are only a couple """important""" ones that get saved to your compendium

You're fine, some people just haven't spoken to enough actual human beings so they see gpt speech in everything...

I propose that for deep north, they add uranium as a food item that provides a lot of energy

[glossy heath]

yea, the only ones that get saved that i can remember are boars, greydwarfs, draugr and wolves

[gray sand]

I think there is one in Ashlands too?

[glossy heath]

which is why i set out to document them all back when the wiki page wasn't up to date on them (pretty sure it is now though)

[glossy heath]

probably 😅 i haven't had much time with ashlands yet

[gray sand]

EITR already glows green and gives you powers 😉

[gray sand]

Waiting for DN?

[silk token]

i feel like maybe the charred in general get a lore stone... my brain doesnt remember things well anymore. i just remember the winter child one

[wintry valve]

but that isnt uranium

[glossy heath]

oh yea eitr's so radiation-coded

[wintry valve]

also uranium aint green :V

[gray sand]

You mean every video game ever lied to me??

[wintry valve]

perhaps

and the simpsons

[glossy heath]

getting caught up in a billion other things.
trying to get back into art (as always) but getting sidetracked by revisiting one monster hunter game after the next (...as always)

[wintry valve]

its plutonium in the simpsons, I think

simpsons is anime??

[wintry valve]

which is also not green in real life but whatever

You leave those poor innocent monsters alone 😭

[wintry valve]

if you ask a japan folk, yes

?????? is there are cartoon that ISNT anime to a japan folk?

[wintry valve]

no

its literally what anime means, to them

Best anime is Johnny Bravo.

[wintry valve]

For a second I thought you said Johnny Test and I was ready to fight you

[gray sand]

No fighting. This is Harmony.

Oh wait... 😏

lemme put the "harm" in harmony right there

what do you mean with that ? 🤔

[paper marsh]

Eating uranium? Sounds unhealthy

[wintry valve]

nah its full of energy

[silk token]

its so weird, there's this spot right next to spawn that gives me framerate drop, and i dont get framerate drop anywhere. there's nothing there, it happened as soon as the world began idk what it is

is there some horrific underground game glitch or something??

[tiny mortar]

Whats the best gear for zil and thungr? Would demolisher and mistwalker be good?

Or maybe krom even

[tacit crystal]

Plains tier should be enough as they are plains tier miniboss.

So Mistlands tier is even better.

[tiny mortar]

Im mistlands tier so Im trying to do as optimally as possible

[tacit crystal]

You should be more than good with any Mistlands tier weapon.

[tiny mortar]

Sounds good, cheers

[tacit crystal]

Also if you already have feather cape then it's safety measure when you climb up the tower.

But fire weakness makes it risky otherwise, so you can pop up fire barley wine.

[gray sand]

Got my Fenrig trophy wooooooo!

[noble birch]

bonemass has been slain

he reminds me of oogly boogly from Halloween town and hormaus mora from skyrim

[tiny mortar]

Oh im not climbing it

Im doing the chair trick from below

Also, whats the best stuff for the mountain miniboss? My main weapons are frostner and mistwalker which both I imagine wont do much.... Cus frost..

[tacit crystal]

Well, any other high damage dealing weapon, or even silver sword thanks to big spirit damage.

[tiny mortar]

Its weak to spirit?

[gray sand]

He's immune to frost, weak to fire, neurtal to everything else.

[tacit crystal]

Takes normal damage, so no weak nor resistant.

[tiny mortar]

Ah. Im thinking of taking krom in that case

[gray sand]

Krom is a sword though?

[gray sand]

Fenrigs have one! (Just found)

[tiny mortar]

Yea, but no special effects or anything

My other two weapons do frost so i figured itd be more effective

[tacit crystal]

Krom tho.

[gray sand]

True, but it is your first two-handed sword. So they tried not to go too crazy with it 😄

[tiny mortar]

When krom released I was like "omg dragonslayer!!!"

[gray sand]

No, lol.

[tiny mortar]

-# little did he know... foreshadowing....

[tiny mortar]

Brain sees double handed longsword, must be dragonslayer frfr

[gray sand]

When Krom released it was like "omg why is this the sole two-handed weapon that has MtP? AND WHY ARE NORMAL SWORDS SUDDENLY THE ONLY ONE-HANDED WITHOUT MtP??"

They have since fixed two-handers, waiting for them to fix one-handers.

On that note -- do we think they are going to address Adrenaline gain with hammers?

[thorny osprey]

🙏 GTA VI got delayed again which means early 2026 is wide open for a Valheim 1.0 release

that's bad

[thorny osprey]

At this point I'd take the over on it getting another sixer for a mid 2027 release

[near furnace]

2077 looks closer and closer 😄

[gray sand]

I have an idea for the trinket system but idk if it is worth doing a full suggestions channel write-up 😄

And why Wolf Spear take silver if no do spirit damage 😭

[noble birch]

please do they def need a rework imo

[gray sand]

How so?

[nocturne wolf]

at least tell us the idea

[noble birch]

Ive only used 2 the fins and necklace

the fins are fine but the bronze necklase requires like 6 enemeys of adreneline to prock

unless im using the adreniline system wrong

[thick yarrow]

Anyone want to join my new server? looking for 3-4 player. we just accidently reset it lol so we dont have much xD

[gray sand]

Well it ties into how years ago when we first got to the Artisan Table I 100% thought that would be jewelry crafting station in the future.

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[noble birch]

but ik you can use the forsaken power to activate them to

[gray sand]

Bronze Trinket being at 50 is fine imo. It's not supposed to proc every single fight.

It's the ones in the 85-100 range that I have issues with, personally.

[noble birch]

Its nice to have a stamina regen buff without having to fight for it all the time

idk passives are needed

[gray sand]

So to use Vinny's favorite words:
I'd like a modular system.

Something where certain ingredients/trophies give you certain effects.
Each effect comes with an adrenaline amount attached to it.
Allowing you to assemble your trinket, your way.
If you want something like bronze trinket that can proc often, you give it only 1 effect like the 25% Stam Regen.
Adding more effects makes the proc more powerful, but requires more adrenaline to proc it.

[noble birch]

bro thats genius

[gray sand]

We are not related.

[noble birch]

dont start that with me

[rugged bridge]

I like the brooch more

It's a nice and quick health burst if I ever need it

[noble birch]

its 65 though??

idk I might try it

[gray sand]

Further example:
Wolf trinket costs 55 to proc and gives you the skill buffs +10% pierce
^ Nice, useful.
If you are a mace user... the 10% Blunt trinket costs 85 because it also heals you. So the ability to assembly your own and say "I want just the blunt buff, no heals" means you could get the effect for less adrenaline.
Slash one costs 75 because it also restores stamina. What if I just want the slash buff and don't care about the stamina restore?

[noble birch]

I LOVE MACES

my favorite weapon im so serious

[rugged bridge]

I don't find 65 adrenaline to be that much, especially since my current playthrough I'm rocking battleaxes

[noble birch]

sadly Im stuck on a wall and dont know whats after the iron one

[nocturne wolf]

Frostner, it needs a material from Haldor

[noble birch]

oh its the hammer right?

[rugged bridge]

Thor's hammer if he had the wrong elemental alignment

[nocturne wolf]

It looks like a hammer but it's a mace

[gray sand]

Brooch and Pendant are both top contendors for me.
Only other ones I find I would use are the Wolf one or the Earrings if I go mage.
Otherwise there is cost bloat on the rest solely due to effects I don't actually want being paired with the ones I do.

[noble birch]

shed a tear to that one

alr imma go buy it thank you

[rugged bridge]

Enjoy it, I consider it the game's most iconic weapon

[noble birch]

wow

also got the obliterator

awsome

[gray sand]

I would be curious as to what their target was for adrenaline gain. Like how often are you supposed to proc the Brimstone one in an extend fight? (costs 100)

[rugged bridge]

How impactful is +25% eitr regen after 65 adrenaline? Seems like a bronze pendant but slightly worse

[gray sand]

If mage, eitr regen is the priority, no?

[noble birch]

ah its the ymir flesh

[rugged bridge]

Sure but there's also that jormundling trinket which is only 5 more and it's an instant 100 eitr, I think I'd rather rock that just for the instant gain in the ashlands

There's also the +20 to magic skills, of all the endgame trinkets 70 adrenaline for that doesn't seem like a bad tradeoff

[rugged bridge]

Always found it quite random how the frostner is made lol

Why's the trader just randomly got ymir's flesh

[noble birch]

Yea I woulda though it to be the hammer lol

[gray sand]

See previous about "how often to proc"
Because that helps with the math behind cost when you can weigh actual eitr restored from +25% over a minute vs. +100 over a <insert designed target proc time here>

[noble birch]

giants flesh I think it means

could be misinformed

he's also blue like brock and syndry from god of war

[gray sand]

Ymir flesh is from actual Ymir. It says so on the item.

[noble birch]

ah

[rugged bridge]

Now I know why sindri is so mad after the last game, he's probably pissed at the way you spell his name

[noble birch]

lmao

[gray sand]

More silver mining to do...

[noble birch]

I havent played for a couple of years

[eager bough]

You buy the flesh however

[rugged bridge]

I can understand the overall benefit of constant regen, but I'd still rather have instant gain in the ashlands just in case I end up needing to spam attacks or get a troll/vines down to protect me

But at that point, I may as well use the brooch for safety instead

[rugged bridge]

I haven't in general, just seen playthroughs of the GoW games, they're on my wishlist, just waiting for a good time to actually play them

I can only carve out enough time for a few different games to play

[gray sand]

I mean that is what I am getting at with the math.
If the +100 is blatantly better due to how often it can proc, then I would say the cost of it needs to be adjusted or the +25% needs to be cheaper. 🤷‍♂️
Had to tell either way without an answer from the designer(s).

[noble birch]

Ive been on a big single player grind knocked out taletale twd,days gone, and fallout 3

now im playing this

[rugged bridge]

Overall trinket wise, brimstone is definitely the worst one, that thing looks horrendous on paper, let alone in practicality

Ironic that the most endgame trinket of them all turns out to be so bad

[gray sand]

Also part of why I think a modular system would be a good thing.
If you want a massive surge of stuff for a high adrenaline cost, you could make one.

If you prefer low bumps that occur more often, you can make those.

[rugged bridge]

Fair enough, can't blame you, I hope that everyone gets to enjoy the splendor of singleplayer games. Since most of the money they make is from people buying copies, 99% of the time the game's overflowing with content made from the heart

[gray sand]

Like even break down the Brooch.
Imagine being able to just have the +20 armor and it costs only 40 to proc instead of 65 for both.

[rugged bridge]

Initially at least, until the merch and other branching begins if it ends up popular enough

[noble birch]

I buy my games purely on sale I got over 200 on steam

never going back to console

[rugged bridge]

Sounds like something you could get by letting people upgrade trinkets

[rugged bridge]

Always smarter to buy them on sale, doesn't mean certain games aren't worth their price tag though

[gray sand]

Hence the "idk if I want to spend the effort doing a full suggestion detail write-up" 😄

[glad night]

I don’t think I’ve ever actually gotten my trinket to proc, using knives. There should be a decay delay

[noble birch]

100% I agree

[rugged bridge]

Valheim's one of the ones I'd say is worth the price for the content and immersion it provides, but again, I'd wait for the sale, they're not that uncommon anyways lol

[noble birch]

Im using my brothers copy

[glad night]

Well worth the full price

[rugged bridge]

Think mine was gifted to me by my friend since he wanted to play it together, not sure, I can't even remember correctly

[rugged bridge]

Definitely agree, there are other games that are as well. The most recent one I've got my eye on is split fiction since I want to play it with someone, but again no matter how good any game is, I am not paying 50$ for it

[noble birch]

once appon a time you could get a game for the retail price of 50$ now its 60$-70$

that's why game stop is dying plus a lot of malpractice

[gray sand]

Well to be fair

It isn't called Game Start 😉

Ok it's been maybe 30 minutes but I officially love the wolf trinket's +10% pierce (as a spear man).

[foggy glacier]

I've never been able to get into spears. No matter how hard I try, it's always clubs then swords for me.

[gray sand]

Fastest attspd in the game go brrrrrrrr.

I started because it was easier to hunt deer with them, and my love grew from there.

[clever torrent]

First stone golem encounter, first stone golem trophy collected. Lucky!

[gray sand]

VERY lucky, lol

[foggy glacier]

yeah, it is. I usually just go for the bow. My melee selections are secondary to my sniper skill.

I'm in plains at 100 bow skill RN.

[gray sand]

I prefer axes to swords in terms of aesthetics.
And I double-down on that because of how swords are currently objectively better when they should not be.

[gray sand]

Arriving in Plains with zero bow skill myself 😄

[foggy glacier]

the twin axes in ashlands are pretty sweet. I used them a lot last playthrough.

everyone has their own playstyle I guess.

[gray sand]

You see my woodcutting?
That will be my swim when I make my first large-scale iron run 😄

I level swim while waiting for the thousands to smelt 😄

[foggy glacier]

that works. Part of my strat is to run around my walls at night and snipe stuff instead of sleeping (while smelting). Hence my 100 run/jump

[gray sand]

Genuinely don't work on those actively. They take care of themselves 😄

[foggy glacier]

my woodcutting is low just cuz I use troll slave labour.

[gray sand]

Coal stockpiling pre-Mistlands.

Once I hit Mistlands I just burn seeker meat. 😄

[foggy glacier]

I'm a hoarder so Thor manages my coal output.

and burning meat .

[gray sand]

If I ever need a bulk coal order I just buy fishing bait and obliterate it.

[foggy glacier]

levelling the cooking and crafting skills is nuts slow.

[gray sand]

Full Obliterator of just fishing bait is 210 coal.

[foggy glacier]

wow, never though of that one.

I also hoard gold; I've made a tradition of celebrating Yag's demise by buying a dozen eggs.

[gray sand]

It's 50g per stack.
21 stacks.
1050g = 210 coal
So 5g per coal is really good conversion.

[foggy glacier]

Yeah. I don’t ever have a problem filling it though

At this point I’m crafting wood arrows to obliterate

[gray sand]

Need to get to Mistlands so I can build my permanent home 😭

[opal prairie]

Still doing that in plains.

[gray sand]

I cannot do my permanent until I have Black Marble.

Who's person who wrote the adrenaline page on the wiki?

[nocturne wolf]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Adrenaline?action=history

[gray sand]

Just needs like 1 more line to clarify stagger adrenaline.

Because you not only get +3 for the attack that staggers -- you also get +3 every time you hit a staggered opponent.

[fossil delta]

Found my 2nd or 3rd Queen bee in my favorite BF tower this solo play through. So now I have 11 hives. Way more than enough for a solo game.

[rain scroll]

I don't think so. Are you sure that you are not just staggering them each time?

[nocturne wolf]

Try parrying an enemy with high health then hitting it with a low stagger attack

[gray sand]

If you parry an enemy it is staggered for a duration of time.
All hits within that time are giving normal + 3.
You might restagger them during this time, but it is easily confirmed by getting the additional and then having the enemy come out of stagger as normal with adrenaline returning to normal as well.

Fighting fulings of all types and star levels was how I confirmed before posting.

[nocturne wolf]

I did this and hit a staggered troll to only gain one adrenaline

[gray sand]

My exact conditions were Wolf Spear (gives 1) giving me +4 when hitting staggered fulings.

[nocturne wolf]

You're probably dealing enough damage to refill their stagger

try something tankier

[gray sand]

Starred berserkers only staggered for 3-4 hits before they recover normally.

[rain scroll]

Use wooden weapons

[grand juniper]

Welp I fell off the Earth, Flat Earth confirmeddddd

[chrome badge]

You already died on earth though.

[thorny lake]

Reading this when being completely new to valheim and knowing almost nothing about it other than what comes up until bonemass is like overhearing a conversation as a peasant amongst gods

[gray sand]

Obliterator is good at recycling high-volume junk items into coal.

[thorny lake]

like idek what that means man

[gray sand]

Have you found Haldor?

...?

[thorny lake]

Yup just found him today actually after 6 hours of searching🫡

[gray sand]

Buy the Thunderstone.
Copper + Iron and you're set for the trash can 😁

[thorny lake]

Haldor is the one in dark forest right?

[gray sand]

Fill it with crap you don't want/need. Pull the lever.
Items have point values and you get coal based on how many points you obliterated.

[gray sand]

Yes.

[thorny lake]

Oh wait fr

Thats hella sick

[gray sand]

No... I'm lying to you because it is fun... 🙄

[thorny lake]

😔

[gray sand]

Very good for excess resin and the like.

[thorny lake]

I’m a dedicated resource farmer so coal isnt usually an issue as I tend to have a couple thousand wood laying for use at all time but theres always crap to throw away for coal rather than nothing:)

[gray sand]

I do more mining than cutting, so coal is always in need 😁

[silk token]

I thought it was you get the +3 stam for striking a staggered enemy not that you're refilling their stagger meter. +3 to stagger or to hit a staggered enemy.

[gray sand]

And eventually the majority wood I collect is fine, so I sure as hell am not burning that into coal 😂

[gray sand]

This has been my experience.

[nocturne wolf]

When the enemy is already staggered the increased damage makes it easy to refill their stagger

[gray sand]

At movie, must turn phone off. Peace.

[silk token]

so if I parry a fresh full hp troll and punch it i should get 1 stamina?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, I did that earlier

[silk token]

that's weird i've never seen myself get 1 adrenaline from anything other than a boss.

ive also assumed it's 3 stam to kill a thing, but i guess i could be filling its stagger meter at the same time?

its hard to know when you're a battleaxe enjoyer everything's stagger is always full XD

[grand juniper]

Ok, on a serious note is there a way to beat this game doing a passive run? I want to try it but of course the bosses are what gets me. I think I might only need a few of the bosses beaten to get around

[silk token]

passive meaning you don't kill anything? or don't kill anything directly, like fires

beating the game IS killing the bosses, or whatever deep north's whatever is. i guess it depends how you beat deep north and what items you need to get to and exist in deep north and how you kill things to get those things.

[jagged wind]

is there any info if they will ever rework fishing?

[wintry valve]

I dont know. Apparently fishing works fine if you learn how to use it.

Now that I think about it, wearing clothes should help with that.

[fossil delta]

Fishing is pretty easy. Once you figure out how to do it.

[light moat]

Not that we know of, fishing gets a bit weird when you bring quality 3 or higher into the equation

I think it would be neat if sitting on a chair helped out

[eternal coral]

upgrade teh fishing rod .... something

[light moat]

That would be neat

[grand juniper]

Well i want total not a thing dies. But if I have no choice then I guess don't directly kill bosses. I was hoping there was some glitch or something that will just delete a boss or something. Speed runners almost always know these tricks

[ashen ravine]

hello . _ .

[cosmic summit]

do iron torches burn slower than wood ones?

[tepid prawn]

as in the same amount of resin lasts longer, yes

[wintry valve]

does wearing peasant clothes helps with fishing?

[light moat]

It does not
