[gray sand]

Wonder if on release they will have an achievement for something like "beat the game in 100 days or less."

[fossil delta]

I always go slow playing solo. My wife and I don't go all that fast either.

[rotund dust]

Yeah i dont use the world generator, or dev commands, I play with a 10 year old and 13 year old, so its always a long slow grind

[gray sand]

I don't think I have cross 100 yet, but I have hit the part where I slow wayyyy down. 😄
I kind of speed run to Mistlands so I can get Black Marble and then I just pause while I do a lot of building 😄

[fossil delta]

I explore pretty thoroughly. Takes a while to go to all the islands and run them.

[cobalt canyon]

Honestly - bothers me enough - Start again

that and I don't like this map

[rotund dust]

Yeah im the same, every island i land on i 100% explore, before moving on, I just enjoy the game

[gray sand]

I have my one map and I am very happy with it.
Thank you @glossy heath 💛

[fossil delta]

I don't explore as thoroughly once I get to the Mistlands, but I still probably explore more than most. Like I will explore everything between me and the Queen, when I find out where she is.

[cobalt canyon]

My two favorite things:

Starting a new run
Viking D-day (first Ashlands landing)

[gray sand]

This comes in with my slowdown in Mistlands because I need to grind so much to build the way I build, so I have to go back and just fully clear entire islands at a time.

[fossil delta]

Since I hate the Ashlands, I'll only do what I have to there.

[gray sand]

I usually just keep fortress tally so I can ensure I have cleared them all, kill Fader, and get out.

[fossil delta]

There is a known number of fortress'?

[gray sand]

Per world.

Which is what makes your elemental upgrades random.
Because if you get crap RNG on the gems in the chests, you either deal with it or you have to world hop and sail to a different Ashlands.

[fossil delta]

I'd deal with it until I find out what the North is like. Then I might still just deal with it.

[cobalt canyon]

LAMO

New run, took down a 1 star deer with a torch

[gray sand]

I don't think I have ever seen a natural 2-star deer tbh.
Only when I have spawned them.

[vernal karma]

i've only seen a few in my hundreds of hours

might be more common far from spawn, i had 1 in a pen at spawn once, idk what killed it 😄

[cobalt canyon]

And a day 1 Eikthyr down. I like this map better already

[rotund dust]

They are common as

[gray sand]

Got raided by bats while making eitr.
Half of them died to the magic missiles 😄

[tropic scarab]

Yo anyone wanna help me with some build ideas

[solemn dune]

bro vile armor is ass i take so much damage its not funny

[tropic scarab]

I got the rest of the weapons i needed and got everything up but still feel like it can look better after this im on to all the shields

[tropic scarab]

I made it but never tried it good to know tho

[solemn dune]

i mean light armor + bonus damage for extra stamina and health regen sounds good but then I barely notice the buffs and getting nearly oneshot by the very creatures I made my armor from is not very cash money

[gray sand]

Buffs pierce right?

[tropic scarab]

Danm that blows I’ve noticed since they did this last update they did a heavy rebalance so in order to probably get the full effect you have to combine it with the stamina to drink it, and the stamina meads from that area to get the full effects obviously with the rested above

[solemn dune]

yeah it buffs pierce and blunt but I aint no bitch using arrows

[gray sand]

Tasty Mead remains the best stamina mead 😄

[tropic scarab]

The fist weapons do pierce

Ya it’s actually clutch

[solemn dune]

yeah but i'm dead so that didn't quite help

[gray sand]

Yeah it's the "I use exclusively atgiers and I spin2win" armor set 😄
The incoming damage increase doesn't matter if everyone is always stunned and unable to hit you.

But if that is not your playstyle, the armor set has severe drawbacks.

[solemn dune]

oh its for atgiers? ok no that sounds dope I'm just avoiding those this playthrough cuz they are my goat and I want to try something new

[gray sand]

Atgeirs are pierce so that armor set and things like the wolf trinket enhance them.

[tropic scarab]

I just run the speed build finress armor + asksvin cape and for weapons I use storm ripper, and the fist weapons

[gray sand]

I'm a heavy armor enjoyer 😄

[tropic scarab]

Definitely

[gray sand]

Carapce Armor with no cape is my favorite look in the entire game tbh.

[solemn dune]

but yeah I guess that makes sense if so then I'll love that set every time I am not explicitly telling myself no atgiers

[gray sand]

Indeed.

I want to them to go back and give heavy armor some set bonuses in 1.0 🙁

[void kelp]

I love it when fish just jump into your ship 🤣

[paper marsh]

Game feels a lot more engaging without atgeirs, bows, and magic (or just more limited magic use) imo

[wintry valve]

Silver armor add some spirit damage to your weapons. Silver shield has some spirit damage on block/parry.

Iron armor reduces stagger

Bronze armor turns green if you stand in the rain.

I guess padded armor would be like iron but with a better set bonus

Dunno what carapace would do. Maybe it could have some "hp pool" that soaks damage a bit until you repair it or something?

Since it has its arms free, maybe carapace gives some stamina cost reduction for attacks?

[vernal karma]

sounds good

speed of attacks could be 1

stagger power maybe

levels for some weapon skills

things that would have some utility or change the way you play would be ideal

maybe not just flat power buffs, because i like being able to mix items too.

[fluid cove]

be me
a good day to set sail
hop on ship
wind is directly against my destination again

i'm sure Odin is laughing his ass off thinking its funny to do this to me for the half billionth time

[gray sand]

Disassembling the black marble structures in the Mistlands... and man wish these 12x12m massive black marble wall pieces were buildable.

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t done anything on those pages

[white cobalt]

@raven thorn wtf is up with you lol

[fluid cove]

will fishes despawn if I put them in a pool in a biome not where they belong?

Like i have an ocean-going base in the BF but if I catch a Plains fish and put it in my BF pool will it be gone

[nocturne wolf]

They won’t despawn if they’re near player base pieces like other items

[fluid cove]

oh ok cool bcs my pet Serpent was gone after I left the base to build my Plains fortress

😭

[nocturne wolf]

You need a serpent that was spawned in rain and not at night

[fluid cove]

imagine if we can build some sort of a giant aquarium

[copper bramble]

imagine if we can build

do serpents breathe through gills? or do they breathe air

[distant girder]

they breathe our fear

[copper bramble]

if they breather through gills then would it make sense that they would slowly suffocate if you dragged them on land

[indigo forum]

Whats better fist or knife

[merry pebble]

Depends, against which enemy? 😄

And which fist weapon and which knife

[indigo forum]

In general. I want my main weap for 1v1s against just normal mobs like if a wolf gets closed or a troll or greydwarf i will switch to knife and buckler or fist. Im currently using fist but it feels like theres only 2 options for it. Im new. Just 50days ingame casual

[rugged bridge]

That would take too long, I need me some serpent meat and I don't got the time to torture the fish

[rugged bridge]

There's 3 different fish weapons so overall, they're not exactly viable throughout the whole game

And given how their mechanics work, I wouldn't say they're viable at all

[copper bramble]

yeah ik

but it would be some feature/detail

serpents die to frost arrows super fast as is

i killed maybe 7 or 8 serpents and the meat lasted long enough for me to have access to better foods in mistlands

[rugged bridge]

Basically everything that isn't from the mountain biome dies fast to frost arrows

[copper bramble]

lord reto:

[rugged bridge]

I mean he's resistant to all arrows in general so lol

[copper bramble]

except silver

[tacit crystal]

Comparing fist vs knife.

Knife:

• 2 damage types (pierce & slash)
• fast 3 hit combo (3rd attack deal 2x damage)
• secondary is lunge strike forward with 3x damage
• 6x backstab multiplier
• 1 handed, can be wielded with shield (except Mistlands tier)

Fists:

• mostly slash damage type (except Maulclaws which have pierce & slash)
• 2 hit combo (2nd attack deal 2x damage)
• secondary is kick with knockback and 6x stagger multiplier
• 6x backstab multiplier
• counts as 2 handed, so cannot be wielded with shield (except bare fists).

[copper bramble]

fists are at least SOMETHING but like.... they are a meme

[tacit crystal]

They're actually climbed quite up on my top favorite weapons to use.

[copper bramble]

being fun isn't the same as being good

[chrome badge]

Good is subjective.

[copper bramble]

if two players with the same skill level cleared the same fuling village, but the other has fists and the other has sword and shield/two handed sword, who will be more efficient

[chrome badge]

Efficient =/= good.

[tacit crystal]

You can quite safely stagger 1 star berserker with kick or two.

[copper bramble]

being efficient means being good, less time spent being vulnurable and less time being in combat

[copper bramble]

no way a kick can stagger a berserker

[tacit crystal]

Easily. 6x stagger multiplier.

[chrome badge]

Yeah it doesn't though, good is a judgement. Efficient means minimum effort to maximize output.

[nocturne wolf]

Fist secondary backstab is 36x base stagger

[copper bramble]

so wait if i make a new character and waltz on over to a fuling camp, i can just kick a berserker and stagger it?

[nocturne wolf]

Not with bare fists, you’d want flesh rippers

[chrome badge]

Ah, so you haven't used fist weapons I see.

[tacit crystal]

Or Maulclaws now.

[copper bramble]

ok well you said "fists" and not "fist weapons"

[tacit crystal]

Shortened from fist weapons.

[chrome badge]

The topic is comparing fist weapons, that's what's continuing to be discussed.

[copper bramble]

i said fists are a meme

bare fists

and back before fist weapons were in the game

[chrome badge]

Okay no one was talking about bare fists though, that's where the point got confused.

[copper bramble]

that means we agree that fists are a meme

[chrome badge]

Sure?

[mint phoenix]

No it doesn't I for one believe that the bear claws are very useful in the black forest as they can easily parry bears and don't need bronze to make

Bare fist are not a meme either. They just aren't good for more than a greyling

[tacit crystal]

Or... ||neck||.

-# Watch out Blob.

[indigo forum]

Whattt fist have 2ndary attack? I didnt know

[tacit crystal]

It's the kick.

[indigo forum]

For a parry enjoyer point of view what would you prefer?

[mint phoenix]

Both

Both is pretty good early on but for some reason all the fist weapons have the same block strength so they aren't good for parrying past the plains

[tacit crystal]

Yeah later fist weapons have quite low block armor even with their 6x parry multiplier, but at least the kick stagger compensates it.

[indigo forum]

Is there like a map icon for the leviathan. I don't want to sail to ocean trying to find it. It's too risky for a solo player

[cerulean coral]

Nope, there is not. But when you see one you can tag it manually. The ocean is not that dangerous. Atleast when you get to iron age.

[indigo forum]

I'm still at bronze age. And the elder is on another island. So when I sail to go to the elder I would wanna hit to birds at one go.

Guess I'll just have to sail randomly and go back before night time. I don't I can kill a serpent on my current progress.

[bold burrow]

SERPENT!!! lol the ocean is terrifying

[wintry valve]

Youll stop thinking its risky when youll have a bigger boat

[nocturne wolf]

Serpents are balanced for black forest progression

[cerulean coral]

I'm also mostly solo. When I sail with carve I usually sail closer to coast than in the open ocean. You can find some routes and small passings from coast to coast like that.

[wintry valve]

A trick. If you sail with the wind behind you, a serpent usually cannot catch you, giving you plenty of time to kill it with arrows

[halcyon gazelle]

How do i change draw distance of camera for ship control?

[wintry valve]

mouse wheel for pc

[halcyon gazelle]

i need way more for ValheimRAFT ship

[indigo forum]

How many attacks does a serpent takes to take down the 2nd available boat.

[wintry valve]

about 15 bites

it gives you plenty of time to kill it

also the second boat is faster than them serpents

[indigo forum]

🐳

[rugged bridge]

You fighting baby serpents or something? One encounter with a serpent on a karve and it turns into a raft for me lol

[merry pebble]

Karve will last around 7-8 chomps from serpent

[west pulsar]

Are you fighting the world serpent

Serpents are free food

[wintry valve]

I was talking about the second boat

[rugged bridge]

ok, the game considers the raft a boat lol

I consider this classism

The raft has rights too

[rugged bridge]

Damn I wish, content for the ocean is a distant dream.
Also yeah they are free food, easy to kill them, but my boat isn't me and I'm not my boat (I don't care about him)

[merry pebble]

Welp, longship would indeed last around 14-15 bites 😄

[rugged bridge]

Triple that for the drakkar, and still it barely lasts enough to reach the shores of ashlands

[merry pebble]

Well, bonemaws have double the serpent dmg on their bite 🙂 + ranged attack which does ~70 dmg to drakkar

[west pulsar]

Yea but like

Crossbow and they're only coastal

[wintry valve]

they arent only coastal

[merry pebble]

Spinesnap takes care of them 😄

[rugged bridge]

Not to mention bird attacks and ship-width gaps you need to navigate right after exiting the extremely calm and serene ocean biome

[merry pebble]

Yeah, they can be pretty much anywhere in the ashlands sea

[rugged bridge]

The transition feels like you jumped down straight into hell

[merry pebble]

As it should be

[wintry valve]

Bird attack is nasty because when you fight then, you are much more likely to destroy your ship than kill the bird

[rugged bridge]

Pretty much why your only option is drive forward towards the shore and pray you make it in time

[merry pebble]

Not really 🤔 never had to do that

[rugged bridge]

Unless you got a friend then just turn him into a sentry

[wintry valve]

You can swim to there if you use a longship to crash into a spire.

[rugged bridge]

Let me borrow your luck then, the bonemaw came out as soon as I entered the boiling water and kept chasing me under conditions I stated up above

[merry pebble]

Happened to me too, and it was not a single bonemaw. Why not kill him?

[rugged bridge]

Boat's not gonna phase through the spires

[merry pebble]

Then you can slow down and focus on killing him, he will not destroy the boat in the time it takes

[rugged bridge]

No, but the boat will definitely take more damage if you go slower

Not to mention more bonemaws can appear, on top of birds

[merry pebble]

I didnt say it wouldnt, but it wil not be destroyed

And often not even halfway damaged, not to mention you can just plot workbench on some spire and repair

[rugged bridge]

Pretty irrelevant to kill the bonemaw then

[wintry valve]

if you go fast enough, the bonemaw usually misses their fireballs

[merry pebble]

You were complaining about them making you rush to shore xD

Now you are saying they are irelevant

[rugged bridge]

Complaining? Think that's a pretty delusional conclusion

I enjoyed the pre nerf ashlands lmao

[merry pebble]

Same here 😄

[rugged bridge]

Playing it now I still feel the immersion I felt the first time but highly reduced due to already knowing mostly everything about the biome

[lone rampart]

My friend and I stormed an Ashlands fort last night, to great success! Still riding that high as a victorious conqueror

I’m torn between converting it into a functional base, and “dear lord this biome hurts my eyes!”

[merry pebble]

I feels too empty upon landing now 🥲

[rugged bridge]

The fact that attacking a fort is easier and calmer than traversing to said fort says a lot about the mob density lol

[lone rampart]

Oh it was by no means either calm or easy! 😅

[rugged bridge]

Everyone experiences it differently, I find it trivial to clear out a small compact area of charred rather than an open area where fighting one means the nearby 10 are also attracted

[lone rampart]

Meanwhile I prefer fighting off a circle of approaching foes with enough time for my eitr to rebuild between each fray

[gray sand]

Mage OP plz nerf.

[lone rampart]

Noooo 😭

Mage squishy AF don’t take my boomstick

[merry pebble]

Not squishy if you use the bubble 😄

[gray sand]

Immortality bubble = squishy?

[lone rampart]

I keep forgetting the bubble

[merry pebble]

Welp, then you as a mage are squishy xD

[lone rampart]

Yes 😹

[echo wind]

Then the second boat is a cart

[merry pebble]

Well, it is not intended to be used for sailing so nope 😄

[gray sand]

Cart is for sailing 100%.
And Battering Ram is the best weapon against sea serpents.
😉

[wintry valve]

tank fight submarine for motherland

[near furnace]

sounds like the meme

[peak vessel]

I JUST KILL MY FIRST TROLL YEY

[gray sand]

Parrying costing no stamina used to be broken, then they made it cost stamina for balance, and it costing no stamina once again is... broken again.
Queen is straight-up easy now.

[wintry valve]

I hate the queen so much even with that

Welp I got a haul of about 80 flametal and I dont know what to do with it.
I got my zerker axes, the armor fully upgraded

[gray sand]

She is so much faster with parry being free and Carapace Buckler randomly giving double adrenaline.

That's why I had 2 trinkets. Proc the minute-long damage buff then swap to Brooch for heals and armor. Swap back every minute if health is good.

[rugged bridge]

Build a cathedral with the flametal gates as the entrance

[wintry valve]

Nah I already got my doors.

[icy apex]

is there a reason why I would wanna upgrade my trollstav?

I dont see a real upgrade tbh 😂

[gray sand]

Battleaxe sucks against her because the windup is still 0.1s too long and you can't get the hit off before she attacks again. But with the damage buff you kill her before Mistwalker even breaks so 🤷‍♂️

[rugged bridge]

You can always try out different flametal weapons for fun lol

I went the battleaxe > berserkir axes this playthrough

The greatsword seems like a fun one next time

[gray sand]

I like battleaxes for woodcutting.
I will enjoy them for combat when they shave 0.1s off the initial windup.

[gray sand]

Carapace Armor, no cape, with Krom strapped to your back is a look.

[rugged bridge]

Hope they add more dual wielded weapons like those two axes

I love dual wielding

[gray sand]

Skol and Hati say hello.

[light moat]

But did you have fun? 👀

[gray sand]

Not really. Mainly because of how easy it was.

And I shouldn't have to manufacture my own difficulty 🤷‍♂️

[rugged bridge]

Was thinking something along the lines of two shortswords or two maces rather than a shiv and a sickle lol

Don't like how those things look

[gray sand]

Dual wielding bucklers when?

[icy apex]

?

[gray sand]

Because you choose to?

[tacit crystal]

No reason, other than durability of the stav.

Damage output of summoned trolls increases by higher blood magic skill level.

Also the limit of 2 stays the same regardless of quality.

[rugged bridge]

I can see the vision

Something similar to captain America's avengers infinity war style could be fun lol

Though that's more like a blend between buckler and fist

[wintry valve]

Im ok with dual wielding, but I am also annoyed at how certain weapons cannot be used with a single hand

I like my zerker axe, but sometime I prefer the regular axe moveset

Or if I wanna use a shield

[nocturne wolf]

You want the regular axe moveset??

[wintry valve]

Sometime, yes. I cant hit stuff on the floor with zerker axes

[undone garnet]

Lavaithans had been changed? Last time i remember playing ashlands it was very difficult to mine flametal ore cuz they would sink instantly, now i mined 5 full piles and didnt even one of them started sinking xd

[gray sand]

No offense. Just insanely high blocking. Each shield having a separate stagger bar so you can alternate 😉

[wintry valve]

They did change it. Its now 1% chance of tickling them per hit rather than whatever it used to be.

[gray sand]

That was changed like... a week or two after Ashlands dropped.

[undone garnet]

daaaamn, really? havent played since then so it now makes sense xd

[wintry valve]

I wish there was a way to make them sink on purpose tho. These stripped down spires are kind of ugly.

[gray sand]

You stopped playing within 10 days of the patch?
Well that's commitment for ya...

[nocturne wolf]

They should sink slower but always start on the first hit

[tacit crystal]

Yes, from 10% to 1% chance to start sinking.
-# For me it's 99% chance to sink tho.

[undone garnet]

personal problems 🙂 dont be so harsh on me lol

[rugged bridge]

Can't blame him, I played the beta client version, finished it and am only now replaying ashlands content lol

[wintry valve]

One random lavaithan should explode rather than sink. That would be funny.

Anyone who disagrees hates fun

[rugged bridge]

lavaithanblob

[undone garnet]

We played with friends instantly when the ashlands dropped. We didnt even kill Fader cuz.. emm, one of the friends had baby and would rather spend time with newborn than playing some viking game hah

[rugged bridge]

Just teach the baby to play valheim while he's still young

It'll be a hardcore viking when it grows up

But yeah I get you, either way valheim is best taken in moderate doses, a playthrough then a several month break for me

[wintry valve]

dang it, I need one more bell thing

[undone garnet]

sadly, he passed away few days after being born...

thats why kinda it brings back bad memories while playing this content

[rugged bridge]

My condolences for the friend

[undone garnet]

Thank you brother. May Odin bless you for your good soul

[uncut owl]

quick question before I get myself killed

Is a bronze buckler enough to parry an attack from a draugr elite

[wintry valve]

should be

[uncut owl]

Nice

yup it was

took 1 dmg

these body piles drop the meanest enemies on you

[silk token]

battleaxe is supposed to be bad against single target enemies you can't stagger that's why you also carry a spear.

[gray sand]

I refuse the believe that.

[wintry valve]

battleaxes are great against single target

just use the secondary attack, lock them down against the wall

[silk token]

IF that target can be staggered

[wintry valve]

well yeah

[gray sand]

Boss that summons adds, battleaxe is "supposed to be bad."

No. It is just a hair too slow.

[uncut owl]

I'm leveling up dodge and block like crazy in the swamp

[wintry valve]

Use something else against bosses and some other enemy types. You'll find that battleaxes are not too good against drakes, for isntance.

[silk token]

nooooo, press the button for battleaxe when adds are summoned, when adds dead, press button for spear

[gray sand]

Doesn't work that way. She will always hit you before you get the swing off unless she is doing the bite windup.

[silk token]

it's like i tell you saws are great for cutting trees, and then you're in the kitchen trying to make a peanut butter sandwich and like "this saw keeps cutting my plate in half" i'm like bro

[gray sand]

Not even close to an accurate analogy.

[wintry valve]

He's telling you to not use the battleaxe against the boss and you are arguing back that the battleaxe is too slow against the boss

[silk token]

battleaxe is great for groups and things you can stagger. "it's bad against this solo target i can't stagger"

[timber marsh]

I used a battle-axe against moder...

[wintry valve]

Moder is slow so its fine

[gray sand]

Battleaxe is 0.1s too slow on initial windup.
Regardless of any context.

[wintry valve]

I learned to like it

[silk token]

yeah you CAN use it against whatever it's just slow, i'm never using a battleaxe against a lox, seeker soldier, morgen,

[gray sand]

There is no other weapon in the entire game that has that problem.

[silk token]

false

[wintry valve]

Whats wrong with loxes and seeker soldiers?

I kinda understand about the morgen tho

[gray sand]

Hammers are slow, but they still get their hits off in time.

[silk token]

they take way too long to die with a battleaxe and i have a spear in my hotbar

[wintry valve]

I was about to say that soldiers are resistant to pierce but that would have been silly.

[tacit crystal]

Parry, jump and hit at the soldier's butt.

[silk token]

sure, but more better with spear. and if terrain is horrible, parry, jump, throw at butt

[wintry valve]

I just parry and smack with battleaxe

[tacit crystal]

Yeah. Inside mines the terrain is usually flatter.

[gray sand]

Mistwalker conquers all.

If poison didn't suck absolute asscheeks I would like to use Jotun Bane...

[icy apex]

alr thx :D

[tacit crystal]

Ps, same reason for Staff of the Wild too. Vines deal damage based on elemental magic skill level, not quality of the staff.

[icy apex]

Why does the damage increase then? On the staff

Like when upgrading I can see 20,40,60,80

[nocturne wolf]

That's the projectile damage

[icy apex]

Ohh okay, didn't know that, ty

[tacit crystal]

Projectile deals that damage, not vines.

But one usually want to depend on the damage of the vines.

Leaving both at quality 1 will save some gems.

[icy apex]

Ye

[nocturne wolf]

More for klossen

[gray sand]

Green is for bows.

[lone rampart]

Unless we’re talking notebooks, in which case green is biology.

[gray sand]

👀

Blue was science for me.
Green was english/lit.

[lone rampart]

Blue is history and red is English/lit

[gray sand]

Red is history what you smokin? 😛

[lone rampart]

Blasphemy!

[gray sand]

Blue science because it's just a standard lab/chemical color.
Red history because all of it pretty much comes down to "who is spilling whose blood?"
Yellow math because I want to pee on it.
Leaving green for english 😄

[lone rampart]

Ok I can’t argue with your logic even though it’s faulty. It works for you!

Yellow is maths, on that we can agree

[gray sand]

<muscled handshake flex gif here>

[tacit crystal]

We had only blue colored notebooks during my elementary school.

[gray sand]

I had only 1 binder, colors above were the tabs for each subject.

[rugged bridge]

Red was german for me and after this statement I'm starting to think it wasn't just a random pick

[gray sand]

I need a Surtling trophy to complete my trinket set 😭

@west pulsar were you the one saying magic needs oompf yesterday?

[west pulsar]

Depends what you mean by oompf

[gray sand]

Well, based on your feedback I am giving it another try out this run.
For full context: I have not made landfall in Ashlands yet.
But Staff of Embers is obliterating seekers and starred soldiers even at zero skill.
EEF food setup. As you said the other day you get only like 6 fireballs off if you shoot continuously, but I am reliably getting to the 8-9 range before fully bottoming out just due to regen during dodging actions and such.
And most every fight is over in that 8-9 range.

[west pulsar]

Right i meant in ashlands more so what i find is that Ashland staffs are passive

I can use weapons while they automatically do stuff

[gray sand]

The only thing I am having to be careful of is because I have the realistic fire turned on, so sometimes the grass lights ablaze and I have to avoid that while dodging.

[west pulsar]

Fireball is weak in ashlands and ice is single target which ashlands usually throws groups at you

Fireball in mistlands is good

That i agree with

[gray sand]

The blunt from the fireball is the main thing for Ashlands. Because 100+ damage in an aoe from range beats most of your other options when arriving.

Frost Staff, even though ST, would be better if it had accuracy tied to skill level. Because being able to reliably alternate targets in a group would be just fine. But the randomness of it makes it bad.

[west pulsar]

Out of the mistland weapons yes

[light moat]

Fire staff is fantastic in Ashlands 👀

[west pulsar]

Hell no

I just CANT agree

[gray sand]

This was the debate yesteray @light moat

Numbers-wise it is very good, but feel-wise Loafy does not see it.
Which is valid.

[undone forum]

Personally, I like the staff of the wild the best for the Ashlands

[west pulsar]

Wild is beyond busted

Because i can stack it with weapons

I was having a harder time with fireball

Also it's hit rate just isnt there

[light moat]

Fair! When I did my Eitr playthrough, fireball staff was my primary weapon. Ice staff offered great support, especially against the warriors.

Staff of wilds was alright I guess, but it wasn’t for me. The lightning thing I didn’t like.

[gray sand]

Wild and Embers have equivalent Blunt damage, so the comparison really comes down to 10% root chance vs. fire damage, since they are immune to poison.

[rugged bridge]

Fireball staff's blunt was good for the skeletons, frost staff was good for the vultures, dundr was good for the morgens, wild just turned the biome into meadows for me

[west pulsar]

That and i dont have to use my staff for it to work

It just does it while im doing other things

Fireball is active wild is passive

And i can have 4

Its wild x 4

[rugged bridge]

Dunno if the wild staff was touched at all since the beta client but back then no matter what I fought, a few vines on the ground and I just watch everything in front of me die while sipping my drink

[west pulsar]

• my weapons

[west pulsar]

Literally and if i need too i can put in a couple hundred damage with axes and boom

Crossbow even

[gray sand]

Um... you do have to shoot Wild projectile so idk how you're thinking you don't have to use the weapon?

[west pulsar]

4 times per fight then you switch it

Vs having to hold and use it constantly

[rugged bridge]

My problem was that I didn't even need to do anything, the vines alone just melted everything that didn't fly in the air lol

[west pulsar]

Exactly

[gray sand]

I mean... Embers does more damage vs. Wild having the summons.
It really is a preference thing. 🤷‍♂️

[rugged bridge]

First time using it made me feel like I just didn't really need any of the other ones, but they were nifty so why not

[west pulsar]

I find in practical gameplay it doesn't actually

[gray sand]

Define "practical gameplay" lol.

[west pulsar]

4 roots hitting a guy is 280 damage while im using weapons

I mean in the sense of in theory numbers vs it actually being used

I find the fire staff takes longer in my experience

It just does

[gray sand]

I would rephrase your rebuttal from "practical gameplay" to:
I find with my playstyle that Wild does more damage.

[west pulsar]

Because fireball is the Only source of damage root is something i add it what im doing

[rugged bridge]

Will take wild over ember any day, don't have to aim at all with the former, just plant a bunch of roots and stand inbetween them waiting for the cute little skeletons to come walk up to me

[west pulsar]

Then if I'm out of juice I can't hit

That and getting hit in melee is almost impossible if you're next to a root

But a fireball staff is like a bow with aoe and less shots

[gray sand]

I'm not saying one is better than the other. That is my entire point.
Fully understand for certain ways of playing one fits better than the other.
Just trying to get you to see the other perspectives while still validating your opinion.

[west pulsar]

I get the perspective i just find when i play those either styles they just dont work as well

For whatever reason

[gray sand]

Playstyle is the reason 😄 Not everything is going to flow the same way because every individual has a different brain.

[west pulsar]

I guess

[gray sand]

It's like when knife people try to use atgiers 😄

[coarse gust]

I found staff of fracturing (not the dundr) to do significantly more damage than embers to big enemies.
Direct hit on a troll will 2 shot it.
I like it since i prefer a 2 handed sword for critters anyway

[west pulsar]

My bow just hits over 100 damage

And it shoots faster and if im sneaking my crossbow deletes shit

[west pulsar]

It's only good if you are good at aiming which i am not

Its damage is good i just find missing is punishing

[rugged bridge]

Can't say staff of the wild requires much brainpower though lol

[gray sand]

Fracturing is the ST fire in contrast to the AoE...
So where is my AoE Frost? 😭

[rugged bridge]

Monkey place root monkey watch things die

[west pulsar]

St?

Single target?

[coarse gust]

It is
I use it at quite low range

[west pulsar]

My ass just uses the thunder axe leap

[tacit crystal]

Fracturing staff is actually one of my personal favorites. It ramps up the fire damage much higher than Ember when you get all the clusters hit the same target.

[west pulsar]

I should note my skills are probably higher than average

I only have one character so my skills are leveled

[gray sand]

Do you even game "bruh"? 😭 😭

[west pulsar]

No im bad with abbreviations

[coarse gust]

Nah, its not single target
Its a cluster grenade
So you need a big hitbox for full damage
Its practically useless against fulings lol

[west pulsar]

Elite reference

[west pulsar]

Charred eat it if you barrel stuff

[tacit crystal]

The trick is to aim bit lower, like at feet, to get the clusters hit better at smaller targets too.

[gray sand]

If you turn on realistic fire... Embers is really good for woodcutting 😄

[gray sand]

Is there an in-game screenshot button?

[tiny mortar]

If youre on steam theres f12, the closest youll get

Dont know what its like on xbox though sorry

[gray sand]

😭

[orchid locust]

iirc, it's xbox button + select button

nvm, it's the xbox button + Y

[distant girder]

win+shift+s is my go-to

so what's the weirdest enclosure you guys have built to cover a crafting station?

my friend made an absolute masterpiece while she was sleep deprived yesterday

[chrome badge]

Print screen is the way for me 😛

[distant girder]

what if I have a skill issue in finding that

[chrome badge]

Haha it should be by the numpad, usually "prt sc"

[distant girder]

winshifts is nice and accessible for my small paws

[rotund dust]

At what point can you block a 2* troll with a log? Ive only got Troll Armor/Bronze Buckler, its death right?

[chrome badge]

Correct, I believe you'll want at least maxed out iron and top tier swamp food.

[rotund dust]

Figured it wouldn't be any time soon, I'll mark him for another day 😄

Might tell my kids its a 0* with a log and send them in, just to hear my daughter scream 😂

Also when blocking, does your armor help affect blocking, or purely, shield/food?

[silver cosmos]

An ogre and a bear attacked me, and I only had a measly level 2 bow to defend myself... 🥲

[tropic vine]

Last I checked the damage is first funelled into your shield block armour, the remaining damage is then funneled into your armour, and you then take the remainder left as raw damage.

Someone smarter can explain it though as I'm new.

[rotund dust]

Food plays a part too right, like the more hp you have, the more it takes to stagger? I think? I have no clue!

[fossil delta]

HP is the most important stat for blocking/parry, though. Your pretty much spot on as far as damage goes.

[rotund dust]

Cheers all 🙂

[fossil delta]

I still haven't found Haldor. Can't be overly angry, though. I've found good mountains, swamps and plains for my future explorations. Plus I've found the other two traders. So I was finally able to empty out two wood chests by turning everything into gold coin.

[nocturne wolf]

Armor will reduce the damage you take but not affect what attacks you can parry safely

[rotund dust]

So upgrading the bronze buckler, doesnt improve what I can parry?

[nocturne wolf]

The buckler will, not the armor you wear

[fossil delta]

Yeah, shield effect block and parry, armor reduces damage you take, after it gets through your shield.

Or any surprise hit you take.

[dark coyote]

It was the last thing I found on this run, and I had to start circling the globe in a boat, getting wider.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats what I have been doing. I've gone far enough to the East, so now I am looking to the west of my spawn area.

I found the other two to the south, so I will be going around to my north as well.

Another thing thats irritating me. With all this sailing, zero serpents. I should have ran into at least a dozen by now. So RNG is really hating me.

[wintry valve]

get a load of this Zaph guy, thinking valheim is a "globe"

[exotic silo]

Surely valheim is round.. 🥹

[dark coyote]

I've flown off the map for 30 mins, the seafloor keeps going then turns to lava, can't prove its either

[naive pilot]

i want to build a fairly big castle main base but will the instance count lag the game? my current very small base is already at 3500 but not lagging at all

[cobalt canyon]

This round's going very well, day 6 Elder kill, Haldor found, Karve & find a swamp time

[atomic fog]

Hey any one know about the water dragon and how to avoid him

[gray sand]

Remove whatever mod added a water dragon?

[cobalt canyon]

Serpent I think*

Heck screw avoid 'im, sushi is good stuff

[atomic fog]

How can I avoid it??

I don't want to die in the middle of the ocrean

[pliant radish]

If you have a karve and a bow and arrow you can probably kill it before it destroys the boat

Otherwise, just turn to go with the wind until it loses interest. They will always stop following after some time, especially if you head for land

[cobalt canyon]

They do also only spawn at night and during storms

[atomic fog]

Ok I went in the day and a damn storm came it's just spawn camping my loot now -_-

[gray sand]

@wintry valve so much WOOD 😭

But otherwise very nice.

[wintry valve]

?

what do you mean, so much wood?

[gray sand]

Wood is like... exclusively for accents once I get the ability to build with stone and marble.

So seeing wood floors/walls with a Black Forge is jarring to me 😄

[wintry valve]

well thats only my plains base which is mostly stone on the outside

[unreal smelt]

Colour me surprised coming back to Valheim after going dark for a long while without so much as looking at the update news and I find that bears have been added

Bout crapped myself mining copper and then a mountain of fur charges out of the trees at me

[wintry valve]

Does a MaeMoo crap in the wood?

[unreal smelt]

Possibly

[agile star]

If you do not know that they added bears they can definitely be super scary, once you know how to fight them tho, piece of cake

[merry pebble]

Torch in off-hand makes them harmless pretty much 😄

[agile star]

I straight up fight my first 2 bears with a wooden shield and a flint axe now, then I make the Bear Paws and easy peasy

[unreal smelt]

I was able to hop on top of the tomb and pelt it with fire arrows

Took a while but eventually got it and got some pelts and meat

[cerulean coral]

The bear meat is ok early game food.

[unreal smelt]

40 extra health is always nice

[merry pebble]

Yep, basically minced meat sauce that Is easier to aquire but with but lower HP regen 🙂

[tacit crystal]

And 5 min shorter duration.

[cerulean coral]

And that is sadly the only use for it.

[tacit crystal]

Currently yes. It can be prior to change in or post 1.0.

[unreal smelt]

Hopefully soon we get a stew or something to make with it

[cerulean coral]

Hear me out. I was in a brewery festival and they had bear sausage there.

[unreal smelt]

Oh that sounds good

[tacit crystal]

Was it good?

[cerulean coral]

Oh yes! Now we need it ingame too. It just that what biome should unlock it 😅

[vernal karma]

have they done anything to the deep north biomes generation or content in the last updates?

or since launch at all

[unreal smelt]

With all the new trinkets I hope we get some more inventory soon

[indigo forum]

Is iron armor worth it? Or will I survive using troll set up to getting the fenrir armor?

[tacit crystal]

There could possibly be some room for new food using bear meat in plains.

Since there is ||undead bear||.

[vernal karma]

upgraded troll is more then enough imo. on normal combat.

[tacit crystal]

It depends on your own skills. There are experienced folks that use light armor up till mountains. You can also mix some heavy and light: helmets don't have ms penalty.

[indigo forum]

I honestly thought it would be enough. But I might suffer on swamp specially on pits.

[indigo forum]

Ohhh yeah that would help. Ironhelm since i dont wear full troll

[vernal karma]

i think helm is great to get, as it does not nerf speed

but if your troll armor is low lvl, i'd get iron lvl 1 at least.

[vernal karma]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZuyElPXZIE callback to this insane fight. i wonder if queen regenerated one full healthbar during the fight.

asmon at mistlands launch

[steel mica]

IRONGATE, ADD CHARGING SHIELD AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

[agile star]

I went to the Mountains with Bear armor and had no problems, it depends on what you like and how well you can dodge and/or parry attacks from different mobs

[agile star]

Always upgrade your armor and weapons to the max lvl

[vernal karma]

noooooooo

[cerulean coral]

I went like this ||Bear Set-Vilebone Set-Carapace (Mistlands needs one more armor set)||

[indigo forum]

Never had the issue of getting one shot?

[agile star]

You like dying I guess lol

[agile star]

With the iron buckler I was fine and even if I got hit I could still take the damage with 2 hp foods, I had tier 4 Bear armor because I went and mined a bit of obsidian earlier to get workbench tier 5

[agile star]

True, Mistlands needs a light armor

[vernal karma]

on normal combat, maxing gear is both tedius, and makes the game too easy.

[agile star]

Well if you like hard gameplay you can run around naked

For new players maxing out their gear is a must to be able to survive easier

[vernal karma]

what is the most common interact button in games, E or F?

[tropic vine]

Yep fully maxxed bronze or partially upgraded leather armour makes parrying more doable and also lets you survive longer in blackwoods by a lot.

[vernal karma]

is it possible to change it so shift is the quick-deposit?

without mods obv

[bronze gust]

doesnt look like it from looking at the keybind settings.

[agile star]

I always go light armor sets now up until the Mistlands because I do not like the movespeed penalty of - 10%. But if you max out any gear you have an easier time in general

[bronze gust]

i dont use them but maybe via the console, @vernal karma

[agile star]

Typically you never fully upgrade leather because you can get troll hide or bear hide armors now

[tacit crystal]

Vilebone chest and loincloth and heavy helmet was my go to during Mistlands and venturing into Ashlands by boat in my last playthrough.

[agile star]

Vilebone chest, vilebone legs and padded helmet is what I use as well for Mistlands now. Solid armor with 0% movespeed penalty

[indigo forum]

How do you guys carry out weapons on a usual run like exploring the map? Do you carry like multiple weapons or just bow and weapons that you need for the biome plus buckler/shield?

[merry pebble]

Weapon, shield (if aplicable), bow. Thats it for weapons pretty much for me

[tropic vine]

Buckler and axe for most things. Bow for trolls with logs and other big nasties you cannot melee easily.

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls with logs aren’t much stronger than trolls without logs

[heady parcel]

Longer range is the biggest thing, isn't it? A little bit harder to dance around them, and if you screw up it hurts..

[heady parcel]

I usually bring my oh-shit-stick (Atgeir) along with sword, shield and bow. I use the sword for most mobs, I used to bring a club too for golems but now I just whack them with the sword and let it take a bit more time. But the atgeir is too good an emergency tool to leave at home. Has saved my life countless times when I've aggroed too many lox/fulings/deathsquitos or gangs of seekers...

[tropic vine]

Yep 100% this and early in the game they'll break through 90% of your hp/gear, especially if you have greydwarfs harassing you.

Fire arrows or basic arrows safely kill log trolls without effort. Just hit them then run away and repeat for 20 seconds.

[indigo forum]

I only have bear fist, bronze atgeir and finewood bow. Looking to progress to Iron age and get my first sword and buckler. I can still survive a couple of troll and bear hits with lvl3troll set and lvl3deer cape. Omw to kill the elder and start on the swamp to farm iron. Hopefully wont encounter any 2star mobs

[nocturne wolf]

You seem well prepared for 2-stars

[indigo forum]

I Hope so. Because last time I checked I got swarmed by greydwarfs and got oneshot by 2* brute loool

[nocturne wolf]

Have you got good food?

[indigo forum]

Yeah Deer stew, carrot soup and boar jerky

[gray sand]

He said good food 🤔

[indigo forum]

I'm new and haven't progress far from the game. Casually progressing from black forest to swamp

That's "good" for my current progress.

[gray sand]

Both jerkies are terrible, so no.

[indigo forum]

So whats the best one for black forest

[nocturne wolf]

You could swap it for bear meat or queen's jam

[gray sand]

Best is subjecthive.

[indigo forum]

This comment doesnt "help" at all

[gray sand]

HHS - swap it for Minced Meat or Bear.
HSS - swap it for Jam.

[gray sand]

I'm sorry, I'll respond inaccurately from now on because being precise is apparently unhelpful...

It's almost like the correct answer is that best is subjecthive, and that I provided all options so you could make your own decision.

@nocturne wolf

[silk token]

the advice that is lacking here is if you maximize your hp with food you likely can parry a large mob or a 2 star small mob. if you find yourself attacking with your atgier offensively and need more stamina, what you currently are using is pretty good

OR i guess if you find yourself getting 1shot, you want more hp. you're currently splitting hp and stam 50/50

[vagrant valve]

Bloody hell 😭😭😭, was sailing close to the plains and some ghost attack and killed me. And I'm still in Black Forest level of the game 😭😭😭

Had to share my ingame pain 😂 😂 🤣

[karmic iris]

do someone know a seed with a ton of marble (a lot of Mistlands) ?

[coarse gust]

any seed should do, just travel mainly east or west

[west pulsar]

doesnt all mistlands have a ton of marble

show us your seed map

[gray sand]

Assloads of marble.

[west pulsar]

tbh i hate the mistlands

[gray sand]

Ok but hear me out: Black Marble. 💛

[coarse gust]

there should be enough black marble on any given seed to build 15 castles a few grand pyramids and still more than you would know what to do with

[gray sand]

Disassembling the dverger structures is a lot faster than trying to mine it tbh.

[coarse gust]

grausten > black marble

[west pulsar]

agreed

[gray sand]

Ew.

Accent material, sure.
But I look at enough colorless, textureless concrete IRL.

[heady parcel]

oH gods first two-star seeker this playthrough, I was not prepared for that. He scared me out of my wits

That angry red hue, damned helspawn

[rugged bridge]

Grausten roof corners can burn in hell

[gray sand]

Both starred seekers look amazing with their color highlights tbh.

[heady parcel]

They look good, but they're scary

[nocturne wolf]

Only inside tiny infested mine corridors

In any larger rooms or somewhere outside they're much safer

[gray sand]

Open door to see a purple seeker with an army of green ticks behind him 😁

[heady parcel]

Or flying at you out of the mist while low on food and with your back to the ocean

Creative dodge rolling solved it this time, but he had buddies so one staggering hit would have been fatal

[coarse gust]

you're not building gothic enough
you just have to embrace a wildly ornate and resource wasteful style.

but yeah, planning grausten roofs is paramount to success.

[tribal quiver]

hello does someone have a command to tp plz

[merry pebble]

goto <coordinate> <coordinate>

[tribal quiver]

thanks you

[frozen fable]

i found 3 elder locations before even leaving the starting island

i posted the map in #screenshots I have never had so many locations so close tot he starting island

[nocturne wolf]

spawn a fish then use the forcedelete command, it makes a bird death effect

[keen cloud]

yo ,when is the deep north planned to be released?

[merry pebble]

We dont know 🙂 but not this year

[keen cloud]

Oh..

[merry pebble]

Nice 😄 now find the last one

[frozen fable]

Lol

Are there 4 elder locations?

[west pulsar]

I hate that bonemass has such a hard soundtrack for such a mid boss

[west pulsar]

Yes

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂 the number of boss locations goes 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5

[west pulsar]

I still dunno why moder only has 3

[merry pebble]

Eik has 3, Elder 4, Bonemass 5, Moder 3, Yag 4, Queen 5 and Fader also 5

[west pulsar]

Sometimes i find mistlands before moder

Eik having 3 always feels pointless because ones always close and the other 2 and just far

[coarse gust]

Or you get all 3 on top of each other

[west pulsar]

Elder 4 is perfect
Bonemass 5 feels overkill i find bonemass too quick
Moder needs 4
Yag could be at 5 tbh

Queen and fader have 5

Which is fine

[west pulsar]

I have hildir bog witch and bonemass within like

They're RIGHT next to each other

[coarse gust]

I've found mistlands while looking for elder before lol

[merry pebble]

Rng

[west pulsar]

Ik could be at one to be perfectly honest

Also the soundtrack before you fight the queen is perfect

Idk why more music doesn't give that world ending despair vibe

[keen cloud]

iv beat the queen before the yagluth

is a pain to explore mist blind..

[merry pebble]

That is why you have Yag as plains boss 😄

[keen cloud]

Well i didn t found him ,found queen randomly..

i explored the mist relying on the fenrir set

to move fast if encounter danger

[merry pebble]

Sensible tactic 🙂

[keen cloud]

well it worked

but i died so many times..

[frozen fable]

I had no idea there were more bonemass locations but I did know the Moder locations were only 3. I am surprised that Yagluth has 5 considering how hard his altar can be to find sometimes

[merry pebble]

Yag has 4 🙂

[frozen fable]

Interesting

[coarse gust]

yag is only hard to find because there are more boss altars than vegvisirs to his boss altars in most seeds

[heavy geode]

hello, I'm looking to play with people since I have like 200h on the game but I've only played solo but I don't know where to ask ?

[wintry valve]

I thought about a discussion we had about shields recently

About how medium shields are kind of useless

Turns out I know what they are for: if you somehow want better blocking without having a tower shield to slow you down as much.

[nocturne wolf]

I found some functionality on the spawn command that allows you to change certain variables on objects spawned.
Here's a fun command to try: spawn fish1 20 0 1 Fish.m_speed::200.0
Has this been documented anywhere already? The in-game description of the command doesn't mention it.

[merry pebble]

Those are some speedy boys xD

[gray sand]

I wonder how effective it would be to make a larger scale farm specifically for Obliterating it into coal. 🤔

[wintry valve]

probably less effecting than replanting trees

[glad night]

#1024264966712340510

[wintry valve]

according to the wiki, it takes 10 "generic" items to get one coal

[gray sand]

Even with the extra free items with farming now?

[wintry valve]

yeah im pretty sure

[glad night]

Every tree you plant gives you what, 20+ wood? Thats 20+ coal in the kiln

[wintry valve]

oh dang fader is immune to spirit?

[glad night]

If you need 10 crops per coal, that’s a pretty big difference. Sure, you don’t have to wait for the coal to cook, but if you fill a bunch of kilns with wood then sleep, no waiting.

[tacit crystal]

But takes poison damage.

[glad night]

I suppose it could depend on how long it takes trees to grow, but I doubt it’s that much longer than a crop

[wintry valve]

time to make ashfang

[gray sand]

So you're saying it's a matter of scale and there's a breakpoint 😏😉

[glad night]

The same scale you do to one, you could do to the other. So no, it’s not a matter of scale

[gray sand]

Plants have the guaranteed seed drop though, trees do not.

[glad night]

I don’t think I’ve ever not gotten seeds when chopping wood

[nocturne wolf]

spawn deer 1 0 1 AnimalAI.m_jumpInterval::0.01

You can do this with other creatures but most will use the MonsterAI component instead of AnimalAI

[nocturne wolf]

If he wasn't he would damage himself with fissure

[coarse gust]

any chance you might be able to figure out how to spawn trees of different sizes with the spawn commands?
i cant grow plains birch trees and the default ones are to big
if i plant them i get the size i want with some rng, but wrong colour leaves.

[nocturne wolf]

Here's another fun one spawn hatchling 1 0 1 Humanoid.m_flying::false

[tacit crystal]

This point I didn't actually think of when I wondered why.

[nocturne wolf]

I'll look into it now

[coarse gust]

thank you so much

[nocturne wolf]

I don't think I can. The command does check for a vector3 value which would work for scale but only if the first value isn't a number so it's never possible. For example if I tried spawn birch2_aut 1 0 1 Transform.localScale::0.1::0.1::0.1 it would find that first 0.1 that I've put in bold and then ignore the rest so you don't get a valid scale.

[heavy geode]

thx

[coarse gust]

aww man...
thank you anyway. maybe ill figure it out if i mess with the syntax idk...

its a lot closer than anything i came up with on my own

[nocturne wolf]

This also works with multiple values
spawn deer 1 0 1 Character.m_runSpeed::0.0 Character.m_runTurnSpeed::0.0

[gray sand]

So bread and onion soup are the only 100% crop-farmed, no foraging recipes in the game. Interesting.

[night sleet]

Is there any way to add stats to Hildir's outfits yet? Or a glam system to make your armor look like her outfits? Outside of mods?

[tacit crystal]

No, there is no vanilla way to make armor look like others aka cosmetic.

[gray sand]

They have really good stats?
Most of them decrease all stamina used when building/crafting so they are great base clothes.
Farmer set is insane with the +50 because it raises your chance for extra yields by like 7% iirc.

@tacit crystal Bows aside -- how much do you think it would break the game if the skill bonus armors/trinkets allowed you to exceed the 100 mark?

[night sleet]

Do they? Last time I played, they had just came out ans where stateless or very low/poor stats.

[gray sand]

Yeah, everything outside of the farming set reduces the stamina cost for using the hammer and hoe.
Farming one is as described.

[tacit crystal]

You mean like: skill lvl 100, Root armor set +15 and wolf trinket +20 exceeding the 100 limit to 135 skill level?

[gray sand]

Yes but not talking about bows currently because they are a separate issue.

[night sleet]

Thank you.

[tacit crystal]

Well, one example.

But maybe quite broken.

[gray sand]

For bows it 100% would be, which is why that is a separate issue.

[tacit crystal]

Skills that can get extra levels currently are clubs, spears, bows, both magic skills, run, dodge and farming IIRC.

[gray sand]

How?

[tacit crystal]

Fixed my sentence, as my brain didn't brain.

[gray sand]

Also I need a wiki person because I have a beef with page setup for the skills you mentioned.

[gray sand]

Clubs and spears are trinket procs, correct?

[tacit crystal]

Just thinking how the damage would scale up if skills could exceed the 100 limit. Maybe increasing the lowest possible number but not the highest I would assume.

[coarse gust]

forgot sneak

from troll armor

[tacit crystal]

Yep, those were out of memory but forgot sneak.

[tacit crystal]

Also magic skills from Jörmundling and bows from same as spears.

And dodge is from evasion mantle.

[gray sand]

That is exactly what I am looking at.
Becaue max drops off at 75+, but min scales only to 85%.
If you let the trinket exceed the skill mark, min scales up to 97%, making your attacks 12% more consistent in their damage, while also further reducing stamina cost by an additional 6.666%.

I really wish knockback didn't scale with skill though.

I found a way to fix the bow "issue" if skill exceeds are allowed.

TO THE MUTED SUGGESTIONS CHANNEL I GO!

[wintry valve]

xenomorph in valheim when?

[gray sand]

@tacit crystal is the stamina reduction actually 33.000% or is it 33.3333%?

[wintry valve]

its actually 33.33333% with a margin of error of 0 to 0.00000333333333333333%

[gray sand]

👍

[full mesa]

any ideas on what to do while my friend does the mountain base

cuz we got a base for every biome and i wanna build smt

but idk what to buidl

[warm hatch]

bro, my world is scuffed. theres no copper lol

[wintry valve]

Where are you going to look for it?

[warm hatch]

black forest

[wintry valve]

They are in the middle of the black forest, and are almost indistinguishable from regular boulders stuck in the floor

[warm hatch]

im just making another world. ive checked every rock here and nothing

[gray sand]

@tacit crystal post is made with all relevant details and ready for review.,

[wintry valve]

I dont get the bow "going too far" thing

[gray sand]

Bows are already machine guns like lvl 70...

[warm hatch]

anyone got a world with copper deposits i can mine? lol

[wintry valve]

yeah, attack speed for bow caps at 85

[merry pebble]

I bet you got it 🙂

[gray sand]

Where is that listed?

[wintry valve]

in the bow entry on the wiki

[gray sand]

Effects
Higher skill level in bows reduces the stamina cost to attack down to -33%, increases damage and knockback up to +141% and reduce draw time up to -80%.

For the details of damage scaling, see Damage mechanics#Skill factor.

Leveling up
The player gains 1.5xp per arrow when hitting a creature.

[wintry valve]

You are reading the bow skill entry

[gray sand]

Why the actual PHAWK is something pertinent to the SKILL NOT ON THE SKILL ENTRY???

[wintry valve]

"Bows have 2.5 seconds of draw time at skill level 0, which decreases to a draw time of 0.5 seconds by level 100. However, the bow can only be fired every 0.8 seconds, which can be reached at skill level 85. "

As for the skill bonuses for farming dodging, and the likes. I believe these skills are not expected to reach 100, or even anything close to it. If you reach a point where the trinkets bonuses are partially lost because of your insane skill levels, well, it should be regarded as an acheivement.

Honestly, I believe the same for blood magic. The little I played with it made me notice how slow it was to level up. Also quite awkward.

Personally, I would be more in favor of simply changing these trinket skill bonuses for outright modifiers, like bonus damage or stamina use reductions.

[gray sand]

If you don't like it, downvote it. 🤷‍♂️

[wintry valve]

Im ambivalent toward it.

[gray sand]

Trinket overhaulness suggestion write up is in the works but taking longer.
However it does include keeping the skill increases at this time.

[heady parcel]

Argh, first death in 500 days..dangit. Got complacent around growths, that can get ugly real fast

[gray sand]

And just because you are not expected to reach something, it should still be accounted for.

[wintry valve]

Today I died because a two star seeker said hello.

I absolutely hate how starred enemies scale in this game.

[merry pebble]

+100% of lvl1 hp and +50% of lvl1 dmg?

[nocturne wolf]

How would you change it?

[wintry valve]

Ive been thinking about it, and I have no clear answers.
I was thinking, maybe reduce the damage, but increase other things such as its aggressivity (sight range and persistence) and overall speed?

[nocturne wolf]

What do you hate about it now? The damage scaling with valheim's armor?

[wintry valve]

I was also thinking, maybe apply the damage buff after armor but I dont know if the game engine supports that.

Mostly, yeah. You read that two stars enemies does twice the amount of damage, but in my experience that is not true. They do something like ten time the damage.

[nocturne wolf]

That shouldn't be too hard to change, or multiplying armor against them would have the same effect

[wintry valve]

Take a charred warrior. When one hits me, its about 20 damage. Two star warrior... well its been a while one hit me because I refuse to come close to these guys, but I recall them one shotting me while I had 200 health or more.

But recently, it was a seeker. They do about 10 damage to me. But its a red one, about 80 damage.
As we all know, 80 is two time 10. :V

Anyway its been a long time complain from me. I never liked that.

The other thing I have with it is that I dont think it makes the game more interesting.

They dont do anything special or different, they just suddenly hit WAY harder than you'd expect.

[silk token]

and saying this just cuz im half-reading this conversation while playing and just happened upon a 2 star tree troll on hard difficulty, it's not difficult, it's just long. like i just dodged a bunch but after the initial jump scare it's just dodge againnnn.... dodge againnnnnn......

[nocturne wolf]

I'd prefer for starred enemies to have less health than any changes to their damage, some take too long to kill

[silk token]

yeah, the damage is fine but it's just LONG.

[rotund dust]

Has anyone ever been flung across the map by a vulture before?
My son sailed due south on a raft, his raft broke when he entered ashlands water, but was managing to rockhop / swim to shore, when a Vulture attacked him, right as it attacked he jumped, and he got flung off the world 😂

[nocturne wolf]

The volture attack has 0% movespeed (so the vulture couldn't have pushed him) and only 5 knockback, the lowest of any attack above 0 and only tied with bats.

i'm not sure how that could've happened

[rotund dust]

He jumped as Vulture attacked, he went from entering Ashlands, to flying thru the air, and falling off the edge of the world. He only had Rag Tunic on, it was funny to watch tho 😂 I'd never encountered anything like it before

Im guessing just a freak incident that can not be replicated

(We have no mods either, so couldnt be anything like that)

[gray sand]

What's the comfort range on the hot tub?

[merry pebble]

all comfort items should be 10m

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort#Notes

[gray sand]

K. My room is currently at 13 so just wanted to make sure it was counting.

-1 from brazier over hearth
-1 from marble table over darkwood
-1 from darkwood chair over throne
-1 from ash bed over dragon

But I do like the way it looks.

[cobalt canyon]

Never forget

#suggestions message

[merry pebble]

Already did 😄

[fossil delta]

There is a brazier that gives a higher CL than the hearth?

[gray sand]

?
Hearth is 2 and all other fires are 1 afaik

[fossil delta]

OK, just wondering why you said the brazier was over the hearth.

[gray sand]

Because I chose the brazier over choosing the hearth.

[fossil delta]

Ah. So your not talking CL, just looks.

[gray sand]

That list is all the points I lose by choosing x over y.

[fossil delta]

OK, that makes much more sense.

[gray sand]

Because I'm fitting the room into the defined 8 diameter space, yeah.

Which is technically more of a 6.5 diameter space due to the stairs cutting into it.

[fossil delta]

I just center CL around my hearth/central fire, so I have an area to give me max CL before I head out. So when I make a bedroom, I just make it a loft near my central fire. But not so close as to get smoked to death. 😄

[gray sand]

Did a whole post yesterday on how to exactly replicate the sunken stone structures you find in the swamp/mountain.
Allowing you to build towers on top of them or just of the same design.
So now I am playing around with what kinds of things you can put in their confined space.

Bedroom and Galdr fit easily.
Black Forge probably does.
Idk about Forge/Workbench though given the amount of upgrades.

[fossil delta]

I only do basements on shared servers. Then hide the entrance, as an additional measure for less than honest players that may be on said servers.

[heady parcel]

The wide foundations with stairs down into the water, or the ruined tower with dvergr spawner in them? When we went for Bonemass on my first server we turned one such tower located close to his arena into a portal base. I added a couple of floors of stone and then made my first ever effort at a round roof. Looked shit, but at least it provided shelter enough to keep the fire dry...

[gray sand]

Stairs down into water or stairs down into mountain. Both are the same structure.

[heady parcel]

Oh, swamp/mountain there's my answer. Duh, sorry.

[gray sand]

Figured out how to exactly replicate including the stairs.

Which means you can build them with marble now 😉

[heady parcel]

Nice! I turned one of those in the mountains into my portal hub. Very artistic design with open arches and a dome-shaped roof - that turned out to be pretty stupidly designed since drakes could see the portals and bombarded it constantly. Grew tired of repairing it so I sealed the arches eventually

[dapper abyss]

I spent this afternoon hauling silver down a mountain and sprinting back up again

Looking forward to getting building again

[gray sand]

Now you can turn it into a full-on tower by keeping the design going up floor by floor 😉

[gray sand]

I did this until they added stone portal to the game and gave us all a giant 🖕 for the manual work we put in on non-portalable items...
So now I just play with unrestricted portals if they are going to be like that. 🤷‍♂️

[heady parcel]

Tallest tower I ever built used a pine tree as anchor. The base was on top of a troll cave at sea level, the roof had snow on it. Great success! (Also 4-5 deaths during building, built while still in iron age...)

[gray sand]

Mountain circles are already like 20m deep and you can dig further.
So if you put a tower on top of that 👀

[heady parcel]

I went the other way, I'm playing no-portals until I get to Ashlands, then I'll turn it off but pretend stone portals are the ONLY portals, and that I can only have one outside Ashlands

But I will NOT subject myself to repeatedly sailing stuff in and out of Ashlands in the drakkar. No way. If they make the thing a wee bit more manouverable, maybe. But it's like trying to steer a lump of cement as is.

[gray sand]

Or, and hear me out: Remove the pointless spires or remove 90% of them.

Water Temp++ so that only the Drakkar can make it, Spires-- because they don't add anything.

[heady parcel]

I think they're pretty cool visually, but the combo of making the approach a labyrinth with forcing us to use a ship with a turn radius like the orbit of Jupiter...not great.

I actually stopped and used a spire some 100 meters from the shore and built a platform, so I could get a portal up before I tried storming the beach. Then coastal bombardment with spine snap, managed to take out every spawner in render distance, after that the beach was fairly easy to take...

This time I won't be able to do that, so...ugh. Guess I'll have to be brave.

[chrome badge]

That's amazing, I'd love to see any screenshots if you finish one up 🤘

Would that technically be the largest vertical structure without commands/mods?

[rotund dust]

If you send your kids to storm the beach they die heroicly while Dad builds a quick base with materials on boat, then they can portal back and get their stuff. They were excellent sacrifices 😅

[mint pilot]

Havnt played in a few months until yesterday, did they make dungeons rarer

I swear they were everywhere when i first played

Now ive only found one so far

Although it at least had 5 cores

[gray sand]

They have not. It all depends on seed rng.

[tacit crystal]

There are several different entrances for burial chambers accompanied with 3 skeletons nearby each entrance. So skeletons is one possible way to tell there is one close.
-# Note that some stone ruins also contain skeletons.

[mint pilot]

All i found were stone ruins

It took hours before huginn showed up

[tacit crystal]

It's also seed rng dependant, like Sevrahn mentioned above. Some worlds might have plenty in nearby forests and some less.

[mint pilot]

Maybe i shouldve kept my first world

This world the black forest happened to be closer to where i set up base but i had to walk way further to find any dungeons

[fossil delta]

In my current world I only had 5 Tombs in the 3 closest BF's. With 7 cores, total. It got far better the further out I went.

[mint pilot]

Well I found 2

But it turns out i went in a circle

If i went the opposite direction from where i started traveling, i wouldve immediately found more tombs

Yep found a 3rd one when trying to head back home

Or 4th one i should say

[rotund dust]

Once he pops up for a Burial Chamber, dont talk to him, it allows you to run thru the forest, and whenever you see him pop up, its like, oh hey another one 😄

[mint pilot]

Oh ill to reset him and try that

[rotund dust]

Resetting him resets everything tho 😂

Is Armor Stand Iron? (dont think im missing anything from Meadows/BF)

[tacit crystal]

Yes, it requires iron nails.

[rotund dust]

Also, when crafting bronze, theres a chance to proc a bonus right?

So, are the odds for crafting 5 the same as crafting 5 singles?

[tacit crystal]

Recommend using the single bronze recipe instead of that produces 5x.

[tacit crystal]

You can hold shift to craft 5x in one click.

Each of those 5x have chance to proc bonus.

[nocturne wolf]

No crafting 25 bronze in one click?

[tacit crystal]

Crafting 25 bronze with the 1x recipe have more chances to proc extra. 🎰

[rotund dust]

Does 5x proc give 5 or one? (Not 5x single crafts)

[tacit crystal]

To easen confusion: using the recipe for 5x counts as one craft, crafting 5 individually counts as 5 crafts.

More crafts = more chances to proc extras.

[rotund dust]

Yes, but if craft 5x as the one craft, does it proc 5 extra or 1 😄

[tacit crystal]

With shift click, all them 5 crafts have chance to proc.

[cobalt canyon]

1

[rotund dust]

Okay, so no gambling allowed on bronze then 😂

[tacit crystal]

Sorry, did miss the question a bit. But yeah the extra is always 1.

[rotund dust]

All good, thanks for help 😄

[wintry valve]

Its a bit silly when you can get something like an extra nidhogg, which is treated the same as an extra wood arrow

[tacit crystal]

That era was fun as long as it lasted lol.

[rotund dust]

Getting 1x extra arrow would frustrate me, cos then my 5x crafts would be more than 100

[tacit crystal]

It is currently what it is. Something to be addressed possibly post 1.0.

[chrome badge]

I always get +1 bronze or iron nails it seems

I wish that resting regen buffs scaled with comfort level a bit, I always lose 2-5 max health/stamina to food timers just waiting for it to regen fully before heading out.

[left gale]

The wonderous imaginitive gangster

[rotund dust]

I've always thought, Parrying projectiles, shouldn't stagger, whats everyones opinion?
To me it doesnt make sense. You parry the arrow 10m away then monster staggered

[nocturne wolf]

Why should parrying a ranged attack be less rewarding?

[rotund dust]

My immersion 😂

[foggy glacier]

Willing suspension of disbelief

[rotund dust]

I could see that as a valid reason. Blocking an arrow headed for your head could leave the shooter confused/staggered

[silk token]

maybe you PWING it back and it bounces off their forehead?

[wintry valve]

This discussion again?

The entire reason we can parry arrows is because its really funny that we can.

[tacit crystal]

Very early devs removed that but added it back bit later after some people's feedback and because they also found it funny in the end.

Simple as that.

[teal needle]

will call to arms update break saves made before it?

[nocturne wolf]

No, you can use old saves with no problems, you will even find new creatures in already explored areas.

[light moat]

I wish they would remove it once more

[cobalt canyon]

Hey is it too close to the swamp if a wraith comes after you while you're building your roof?

[fossil delta]

Not if they can't kill you. Free chain delivery is a good thing.

[glossy dune]

So on scale 1 to 10 how good is frostner in the swamp?

[gray sand]

Depends.
Blunt damage good vs. Blob.
Spirit damage good vs. Draugr.
Everything else pretty much neutral to it.
You're not supposed to have it yet, so it is inherently more powerful than any swamp weapon.

If that sounds good to you - 10.

[dark coyote]

abomb resists blunt and is immune to spirit

[glossy dune]

Bronze axe vs abom it is

[dark coyote]

immune to chop too

[gray sand]

There are iron axes?

[lone rampart]

abom definitely isn't immune to chop

[dark coyote]

strange
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Abomination

[lone rampart]

Very. It's wrong.

Axes are the best thing to hunt them with, since fire goes out almost instantly in the wet swamp conditions

[dark coyote]

I use the bonfire, and surtling spawners really F it up

[tepid prawn]

the best is to perfect parry them when they stand on a surtling spawner, they will melt from the increased damage and its one of the most satisfying valheim things

also sword and parry is better than axe

[dark coyote]

yeah says they are neutral to slash, baxe maybe

[tepid prawn]

I'd go for sword over axe

also I know about aboms because its from the swamp, people on my server still call me swampdweller because my main base is still in swamp even though we are in Mistlands now lol

[glossy dune]

I mean making cozy swamp base up in the trees is actually quite fun @tepid prawn

[gray sand]

If you want cozy, yes.
If you want metal af, have the bonemass skull as the centerpiece of your build 🤘 🙂‍↕️

[ashen ravine]

Hello?

I’ve come across an odd predicament in my Valheim world 🗿

Not anything confusing (I hope) just odd

[fossil delta]

184 days and still no Haldor. I found the third Elder altar, with no help from markers, before finding Haldor. I'm getting tempted to use that seed viewer to find out where he is.

[obsidian nymph]

Sailing along BF coasts is what usually gets me decent success

[gray sand]

Ashlands landfall completed and stone portal established. A good place to end the night.

[obsidian nymph]

O7

[tepid prawn]

what is the problem

[fossil delta]

I'm doing that and running in land to ensure his spawn site isn't closer to the center.

[jagged wind]

axe does slash damage to abomination, not chop

[flint vortex]

do tames starve to death if you dont feed them ?

[nocturne wolf]

No, feeding is just for breeding them and increasing their health regeneration

[rotund dust]

However, not feeding your pets is animal abuse, so feed them, also, remember, "The Bees Are Happy"

I'm so close to Blocking a 2* troll with a log - Bronze Buckler/Troll Armor, I can stagger his attack, but he staggers me, does this mean I need more hp food?

[nocturne wolf]

More health or more armor, this means you’re only being staggered by the remaining damage after blocking

[rotund dust]

Okay, maybe I'll try again with 3 Health Food on, only had 2 health 1 stam

[heady parcel]

Does the Himminafl secondary stagger as well as the black metal one? Seeing as the pierce part of the damage total is much less I'm worried it is actually weaker, or does the lightning bit also stagger?

[tacit crystal]

Lightning adds stagger.

[heady parcel]

Awesome. That thing gobbles up a lot of eitr, wanted to make sure.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, lightning is only elemental damage type that adds to stagger, others don't.

And yep, it's very refined eitr hungry, but worth it.

[heady parcel]

Ugh, down to one eitr, need to find moar skulls

[wary nimbus]

is there a reason tamed animals seem to crowd corners?

[heady parcel]

Simply that mob pathing is generally so-so. Building a circular pen makes them roam better.

I think they want to walk in a certain direction before randomly picking another. This direction does not take built structures into consideration, only the natural terrain. So they will continue walking into a corner until rng makes them turn away from it. You see this very clearly if you push them backwards.

[wary nimbus]

ah, makes sense, thank you

[heady parcel]

This had me thinking, maybe building a labyrinth around your base would confuse mobs enough that they can't get to the valuable parts before the raid is over? Or they simply get annoyed and smash their way through anyway..

Angry mobs seem to navigate a lot better as well

[tacit crystal]

Also, tamed boars (that were wild before) have their own anchor points in locations they spawned in, meaning they try to return there even after being tamed. But this same anchor point is not there with their offsprings.

[wary nimbus]

are lox the same way?

[tacit crystal]

No, this behaviour is apparently only with boars out of all tames.

Same behaviour can be noticed with deers, after they have ran some time they run back at their prior location.

[heady parcel]

But they can get very far if something is chasing them. Seen a deer out in the ocean with a lox swimming after it, far from closest plains/forest.

[coarse gust]

ive never caught more than one chicken in the middle of my chicken coup at a time
usually all of them are hugging the fences

[tacit crystal]

Yes, but when there is only player who chases they return after some time. Except if the player goes far enough that they are not inside the active zone anymore.

[wintry valve]

tamed askvins, much like a liquid, have a tendency of filling the container they are in

[obsidian nymph]

I guess just unlucky:(

[tacit crystal]

They just train hard some acrobatics to get to perform in circus some day. 🎪

[dapper abyss]

Just fought off my first two fenrings. Great idea mining silver by the moonlight 😂

[chrome badge]

It'd be neat that if they touched a silver node they'd burn like it were a campfire.

[dapper abyss]

Ya that would be cool

[heady parcel]

OH DEAR GODS THE STUPIDITY. I hopped on my longship and started ctrl+clicking to deposit my stuff in the hold - was in a hurry so managed to skip a pretty essential step - opening the hold. Yeah, I tossed 60 soft tissue into deep water before realising. Craptastic... 🤦🏽‍♂️

Deep enough to disappear instantly, no use building a ramp to jump for them, they're just gone. VERY tempted to spawn them back.

[coarse gust]

I would spawn them back at that point

[orchid locust]

yeah, I think it's fair to, despite it being perfectly avoidable

[steel mica]

Ashlands ambience music

gotta be my favourite lofi music

I still gotta give the devs and composers claps for creating ashlands

[devout widget]

I've often wondered if there is any in-game hint or clue for Haldor's existence. Like a runestone or something. If you never looked at on-line discussions or the wiki how would you even know to search for him? Seems like many playthroughs would never find or benefit from any of the vendor content.

[merry pebble]

Hugin will mention traders once you reach black forest iirc 🙂

[candid basalt]

Day 101 and we haven’t found any vendor. I’ve sailed around several islands mapping the coast lands I’ll be looking further out tonight. I should be in swamps by now but using my time sailing instead

We are trying not to use world viewer. Also I was the first to get bronze and currently only one with boat so it’s on me currently 😆

[devout widget]

Ah, that would have happened for me so long ago I don't remember it. Thanks. I'll look on the wiki for a list of all Hugin hints.

[merry pebble]

I dont think wiki has a complete list of all his lines sadly 🤔

[devout widget]

Ok

[fossil delta]

I found 2 of them relatively quickly. Haldor is the one being a major pain in the rear end. I've hit Mistlands to the East and west and North trying to find him. So I am going back south now. For a guy that supposedly has 10 spawn points, he sure is being hard to find. Maybe 9 of them are in the Mistlands or Ashlands, and thats why he is being so hard to find this time.

[candid basalt]

Yeah my first world I played on when plains was endgame I didn’t find him until I was ready for Yag. But I didn’t know what I was missing then. Now I really want my belt

[keen cloud]

quick question

is the bear fighting someone from meadows/black forest?

[fossil delta]

Yep. I've done pretty much all my iron without that belt. Total suckage. but I have my gear. I still need more for later game gear, but I really want that belt for doing silver.

[merry pebble]

Skeletons i believe

[keen cloud]

the troll not?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they fight skeletons.

[keen cloud]

i saw he is friendly with greylings

[merry pebble]

Nope, they are both forest faction

[keen cloud]

i see

[fossil delta]

Skeletons kill everything else in the BF.

[plush umbra]

Hii guys

I just bought the game and I have a question

I saw that some people create new worlds when the devs release updates to fully benefit from the update right?

[lone rampart]

Welcome to your newest obsession! What’s the question?

[plush umbra]

Old worlds don't get affected by new updates?

[lone rampart]

Right, most updates to biomes will only take effect in unexplored areas

[wintry valve]

unexplored areas can benefit from updates

[merry pebble]

They will, but already explored areas will not get new structures for example 🙂

[wintry valve]

Sometime its better to start over, though

[plush umbra]

What about old characters? I also need to create a new one to get the full changes of buffs and nerfs

[lone rampart]

Old characters are fine!

[merry pebble]

Yep, characters are not affected in any way, you can use one made 4 years ago or a week ago 🙂

[lone rampart]

Some people will start a new character to experience the whole world from scratch; it’s ultimately your choice

[plush umbra]

So they will be exactly the same as a new character right?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[wintry valve]

In other words, you can scratch an experience from a new choice of a whole character world.

[rugged bridge]

Can't have the same name for different characters for some goofy reason

[plush umbra]

Nice :3

I don't like restarting much in games because of character progression but I like to create new worlds

[wintry valve]

What I just said was funnier in my head

[gray sand]

People don't do this?? 👀

[rugged bridge]

Fortunately or unfortunately, however you see it, restarting from scratch aka replayability is valheim's core for the most part, otherwise people would just get their first playthrough in and never go on it again

Such is the nature of procedurally generated sandbox games

[gray sand]

Neck.

[merry pebble]

In which biome? 🙂

[rugged bridge]

Rocky the pet rock, he's a very hardy rock

[merry pebble]

Well... then probably morgen or fallen valkyrie

Heh, yeah

[rugged bridge]

I'd still rather fight a morgen over lava blobs, the latter is a lose-lose situation

Either you blow em up or they blow up themselves, rats

[lone rampart]

Look I can only pick up sticks and rocks so many times 🤣

[merry pebble]

Eh? They are probably the easiest enemy in ashlands tho xD

Snow 😄

[tacit crystal]

Currently nothing else than Northern salmon fish.

[rugged bridge]

Sure, but you can't really "kill" them

[merry pebble]

They do that for you, yep xD

[rugged bridge]

No matter what he's gonna go kamikaze

[jaunty jungle]

do you guys like the login message or is it annoying? im asking to see if i should remove it on my server or not

[merry pebble]

I like it

[vernal karma]

floating ice sheets

[merry pebble]

No, it is just a placeholder for when the update comes 🙂

[tacit crystal]

The biome is going to have the update which is also the update version 1.0 that moves the game from Early Access.

You can look up from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 about some small peeks what there might be.

[foggy glacier]

filet it .

[tacit crystal]

It's the fish you can catch and use for raw fish, put on wall or use to craft fishing hat.

But if you want to continue your old world when Deep North gets the update you'd better leave most of the areas unexplored.

[gray sand]

Trying to fight Charred in the Ashlands and they keep just... walking off into oblivion.

[wintry valve]

daddy lizard dead

[fossil delta]

Day 189 and I FINALLY found Haldor. Way down South, kind of close to a Sealed Tower location. Furthest out I think I have ever found him.

Now to finally start fishing, and to get the rest of that iron I need for later in the game. Maybe make a few more iron chests too. Max out the last few pieces of my gear that I was just going to settle for being at lvl 3.

[heady parcel]

Me, I've cleaned out all Mistlands on this island and still came up four cores short to make the damn table. Need to deconstruct the forge every time I want to repair or make something from the table. Gaah. Need to move my Mistlands outpost in other words, off to find a suitable location then!

[fossil delta]

It seems like once I get to that total of 15, I then start to more easily find additional mines with more cores in them. I usually have over 40 cores by the time I get to and beat the Queen.

[heady parcel]

Same, it's magic...
