[ebon monolith]

im in america for college

[scenic marlin]

I’m a woman, I was going to ask if calling strangers mate was normal when talking to a female stranger. Just curious

That’s really cool

[ebon monolith]

oh i didnt know you were and im not sure

as i only really talk to other guys so i dont see why i wouldnt talk to you the same way

[scenic marlin]

I heard long ago people wouldn’t typically call a stranger a mate, especially a female stranger, so I was just very curious if that was just a weird thing to that person specifically or a well known thing. ¯_(ツ)_/ I dk lol Was just curious

[scenic marlin]

Makes sense

[ebon monolith]

haha its all good lol i use it for everyone

[scenic marlin]

Similar to “bro”

[ebon monolith]

it at least makes the conversation feel more friendly i guess idk how to put it

[scenic marlin]

I see I see

Makes sense

[ebon monolith]

might just be a cultural thing but we tend to talk to everyone like old buddies lol

[scenic marlin]

Very true lol

Oh one more thing I don’t remember these circular stones sticking out of the ground in the game

Not the “boats” but the large rocks sticking up at an angle

[chrome badge]

Ah, I've definitely seen enough people become frustrated with something they view as a "necessary addition" to Valheim, I can assure you I'm not being argumentative or defensive, just taking time to answer your questions and rein any expectations(if any).

[scenic marlin]

The make a circle shape

[ebon monolith]

yeah idk what those are they just spawn

[scenic marlin]

Hmm wonder what those are. I don’t remember them before

[ebon monolith]

yeah ive got no idea lol

they might have something underground there ive never looked though

[scenic marlin]

I see I see. I wasn’t saying it is a necessary thing per sey, just saying they could definitely balance it out so it could be something used from the start. That’s all 😅

[scenic marlin]

Oo gotta get that wishbone then

Which is perfect because I’m on my way to fight him

[chrome badge]

Oh I got you loud and clear, all good, the quoted bit was just to emphasize how many times I've heard others put it that way verbatim.

[scenic marlin]

Oh I’m sure. Some folks are very..uh.. rude. To put it nicely. Almost demanding

I get it, I get it

Has Bonemass had any reworks in the past year?

[chrome badge]

The boss itself or the power?

[ebon monolith]

all the forsaken powers got reworked like 2 months i think ago

but the actual boss is the same

[scenic marlin]

Boss

[scenic marlin]

K ty

[ebon monolith]

just remember poison mead and youll be fine mate

[scenic marlin]

Ye I remember, sadly, lol
I hated this guy. Thank you

[ebon monolith]

yeah hes just as spongy as always lol

when i fought him he seemed even more tanky but did less damage so idk if thats just memory issues or actual changes

[scenic marlin]

Here goes nofin

[ebon monolith]

good luck mate

you got this

[scenic marlin]

Thank you! 😊

[gray sand]

Ashlands says hi.

[chrome badge]

||Mistlands as well|| 👀

[scenic marlin]

Yes I know now thanks

[ebon monolith]

ooh thats interesting

i havent seen anything on duel weapons yet

[knotty adder]

Could anyone help me? my loot is stuck in a fucking skeleton cave and ive been trying to get it out for 1 hr

🙏 💔

[surreal geyser]

i will

[jovial sleet]

Do you guys prefer the pole arm or spear?
Or What's your guys favorite melee piercing weapon?
Or do you skip that all together?

[west pulsar]

Never use spears

[buoyant panther]

For people who've been playing for a while, was there ever a different kind of serpent in older versions? I seem to remember either an orange-er or bluer serpent, as if starred or from a different biome. Not thinking of ||Bonemaw||.

[tacit crystal]

Afaik before adding Bonemaw the only serpent in game has always been the one approached in ocean.

[glad night]

Not that I've seen, and I started 2 weeks after it hit early access

[dark coyote]

should literally be the first thing you make lol

[nocturne wolf]

The knife and axe work well too though

[vernal karma]

wich skill is fastest to level up un-naturally, for example blocking in front of 20 archers. or jumping with full stamina inside with resting buff.

maybe that can be a speedrun category, x-skill%

100Jump%

[dark coyote]

running and jumping

[vernal karma]

running gives like 0.2 exp per sec, so definitely not.

[west pulsar]

I wasnt saying you shouldn't im saying i dont

But i would argue past a flint spear it's kinda eh

[vernal karma]

i think jumping you can get above 10 exp per sec.

[dark coyote]

its always my highest skill

[vernal karma]

i know, same for everyone, i said un-naturally.

[wintry valve]

spears are cool

extremely gpod early game. Then they are just good

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t use spears much but always enjoy using them when I do

[dark coyote]

oh like un-intentionally?

[vernal karma]

intentionally farming it

daggers are crazy fast too

[wintry valve]

Daggers are, in fact, very fun too

[vernal karma]

wich skill has the theoretical max level up speed.

[wintry valve]

Knives, I guess

[vernal karma]

you can make a skeleton archer prison to train blocking, idk what happens if you put 50 in there

[wintry valve]

It doesnt raise that quickly.

I tried

[agile star]

Spears have the most xp gain multiplier out of every weapon with their basic attacks

[vernal karma]

unless it was nerfed recently, it's crazy fast

[agile star]

I made 5 TWIGS to swing at me to level up blocking, it was not bad

[vernal karma]

i did 13 archers, got my block to 100 without a bother

[agile star]

Yeah if you get tons of skeleton archers and melee ones with the Skeleton Surprise raid event then you can really level up blocking

[vernal karma]

you make a prison next to a skeleton spawner

[agile star]

Yeah I figured

[vernal karma]

you cna get however many you want, and it depends on your shield i think. i think tower shields protect against stagger the best

[agile star]

Serpent shield is the best with the extra resistance to pierce damage, you wear the root harnesk as well and the skeleton archers just tickle you

Bonemass power for 0 stamina drain while blocking for 5 minutes and you are chillin

[vernal karma]

i would assume a perfect archer prison setup with the best shield, is the highest possible exp per second

[agile star]

Different shields have different xp gain?

I thought it was the same as if you were blocking with any weapon or shield

[vernal karma]

no, different shield protect against stagger afaik

[agile star]

I am not talking about stagger, I am talking about xp gain

[vernal karma]

you need to have high enough stam, health, and stagger protection, that's the limit.

and i guess it matters what diff you play on.

[agile star]

Yeah sure that's why I was talking about the serpent shield and the root harnesk to protect you against the pierce damage of the skeletons

[agile star]

Therefore your stagger meter does not go up

[vernal karma]

sure, but would serpent tower be better then flametal tower

[halcyon gazelle]

just visited Bog witch for the firts time..... Her hut look like she is more like bong witch.... such a pothouse 😄

cauth her red handed with seaWEED... hmmmm i see your bussiness moves girl 😄

[agile star]

Well think of it this way, why are you leveling up your block skill? You are leveling it up to be able to navigate Mistlands and/or Ashlands easier. You are not gonna have a Flametal Tower shield yet. So the question is, black metal tower shield or serpent scale shield?

[vernal karma]

flametal, to see what the theoretical max is

[agile star]

To see the theoretical max then it has to be the carapace buckler because when you parry it has the highest block Armour in the game

337,50. Max block Armour when you parry with it

[agile star]

The information is on the ValheimWiki

Flametal Tower shield is just 228 max block Armour

[vernal karma]

i'm talking about max ecp per sec

exp

[agile star]

I think all the shields give the same, like all the spears give the same amount of xp

[agile star]

0,5 xp per block, 1 xp per parry. No matter the shield type

[west pulsar]

Its overkill

Quite frankly trading that much armor for resistance is overkill

And not THAT MANY enemies do pierce

The ones that do arent usually a threat because of that though

The only thing i can think of being useful is seeker soldiers moder lox
Draugr

Ulvs i guess

Like idk i don't actually feel in practice its that crazy

[vernal karma]

i know

so the question again is, what shield can deal with the most archers, and how many archers is that.

now that parry is free, i guess maybe the best is to parry, but then you do also stun them, so maybe not. i think blocking is best.

[orchid locust]

I'm failing to process the sentence above: how would the stun effect of a parry make the parry worse than a normal block???

you already get a discount on stamina usage, and on top of that some extra goodies (the stun and the increased block armor)

as for the exp discussion: yes, I don't think the current exp system is that great, because it basically tells you you should just use low tier weapons on big chonky enemies, that way each single enemy awards you the max possible amount of exp

exp gain should be a function of damage dealt in some way: the more damage you deal, the more exp you're gaining. In most cases, that "more damage" translates into "better gear that consumes more stamina to use" (and those with a keen eye can spot the inconsistency here: you're spending more stamina for the same exp on a single hit, and more stamina for less exp in the long run)

in such a system, each single enemy is basically worth the same amount of exp no matter what weapons you're using: each single hit would be a fraction of the total amount of exp, so you're not forced to use any kind of strategy to cheese more exp out of it

seeing it another way: it becomes easier to get more exp with higher tier weapons because you're simply faster to kill them, which would justify the increased stamina consumption

[orchid locust]

I also realized the argument was "how to raise blocking skill", so not stunning the enemies means more attacks per second, so the argument that blocking is better holds true

[candid basalt]

I just play the game

[iron sigil]

Hello someone want´s to play Valheim

[merry pebble]

Someone in #1024264966712340510 for sure 😄

[iron sigil]

allright thx

[terse fable]

any of yall well versed in a mod called wackydb?

[lone rampart]

Might have better luck in #mods-discussion

[true mist]

Send 1.0 its snowing here

[tacit crystal]

No updates coming for the rest of the year. 🙂‍↔️

[true mist]

sad noises

[ebon monolith]

lucky we’ve gotten fuck all for snow so far

[burnt glen]

How do you know?

[tacit crystal]

Stated by developer.

[burnt glen]

Where?

nvm I found it

[tacit crystal]

Iirc yesterday or 2 days ago last time.

[burnt glen]

well technically Smiffe said no update in December and there are still 9 days of Nov left. 🤓

[lone rampart]

That’s what I said! 🤣

[jade bramble]

Any news on the deep north?

[lone rampart]

It’s north

And it’s deep.

In slightly more helpful terms, check #news but nothing definitive at this time.

[light moat]

Y’all remember back when all the meat was just meat, when boar/wolves/deer just dropped generic meat?

[lone rampart]

Pepperidge Farm remembers

[burnt glen]

@light moat are you a new daddy?

[tacit crystal]

I don't, started playing post-H&H.

[merry pebble]

Also stated in June interview 🙂

[lusty onyx]

Whats the command to turn on fire hazard again??

[gray sand]

World options, before you load into your chosen world.

[lusty onyx]

I dont have the toggle in my server settings is why i ask

[merry pebble]

setkey Fire

[lusty onyx]

thanks

[light moat]

Not necessarily, but I am a new girl dad!

[burnt glen]

ayy congratulations! 🎊

[rapid dagger]

hey guys new here, doing my first solo, run me and my friends have never actually made it past moder so I want to complete it myself do you guys recommend building it each biome or is that too time consuming ?

[lone rampart]

I like having at least a small outpost in major areas but I don’t build a full base

[rapid dagger]

ah i see, very smart ill probably do something similar and then go back to make some builds

[languid echo]

im building black forrest and than only plains. but depend on you 😄 and your playtime

[rapid dagger]

i have toomuch play time I played for 9 hours yesterday 😅

[languid echo]

lovely ❤️

[lone rampart]

Lucky!

[sudden wharf]

Do Fuling respawn in their "villages"?

[light moat]

Not inherently

[sudden wharf]

so i just crashed my boat into one and wiped all of the fulings that were there and i'm thinking of making a small outpost of sorts. If i start building there, it's gonna be fine, right?

[light moat]

Yep! I did the same thing pretty much, and I’ve never had issues. Keep in mind, if there is an associated music track with that area, it will remain.

[west mica]

Damn I realised... No North November is followed by No Deep December
...which is followed by No Jökulhlaup January

[lone rampart]

I forget; when are the Yule decorations usually released?

[merry pebble]

1st december - 6th january 🙂

[west mica]

Yule be getting them soon

[lone rampart]

Thanks!

[torpid gazelle]

Hey, do you know when the 8th boss and glaciers will be available?

[sudden wharf]

okay, whatever the last part means, i'll believe you...

do just mean sound lag?

[gray sand]

1.0

[torpid gazelle]

but in which i don't know 2025/2026/2027

[gray sand]

No one knows that specifically.
It will release when it is done and ready.

[torpid gazelle]

okay, thanks

[rapid dagger]

isnt it said to be 2026

[lone rampart]

Anything officially announced can be found in #news

[tacit crystal]

PS5 release is announced for 2026.

[rapid dagger]

ah nice can't wait it will be so good

[silk token]

i'm curious about ps5, i have one but ive enjoyed all games that i can think of on PC better. except maybeeee.... certain fighting games or assassin's creed type games which this isn't SUPER far from. I wonder if server lag will be different. did anyone ever say if there's cross platform??

[fossil delta]

There is cross play. yes.

[silk token]

nice. what about that thing that balders gate 3 does with cloud save and playing your characters and worlds on either and both systems?

[gray sand]

Probably handled the same way they currently handle PC and Xbox players?

[silk token]

oh yeah, probably, how is that handled?

[gray sand]

Would have to ask someone who plays it on both 🤷‍♂️

Or Smiffe.

[heady parcel]

Right, when you've grown too thick-skulled to die from falling trees, they have apparently learned to fall on something you cherish. Stupid tree made a freaking double log toss leap and destroyed the oak tree bearing all my beehives. I've never seen anything like it!

And I have no more acorns

This world has had precious few oak trees at all, dammit

[gray sand]

Why would you not sacrifice yourself to save the build? This is why we let trees kill us. 😭

[heady parcel]

I tried, it bounced off me and toppled over like a pole-vaulter to smack into the beehive oak, if I had not seen it just now I would never believe it

[gray sand]

😭

[heady parcel]

Ugh, do replanted trees not drop seeds? I just destroyed my entire pine plantation to get a pine cone so I can plant a pine tree until I get an acorn, did not get a single one from twelve trees

Now I have a truckload of corewood I don't know what to do with...

[gray sand]

They have the same % chance as origin trees.

[gray sand]

Kiln!

[heady parcel]

I wonder - walked up to the forest and cut down a natural pinetree - got a cone right away. RNG I know, but still makes you wonder

[gray sand]

I wonder about less the older I get 🤷‍♂️

[sleek pawn]

They do drop seeds, it's just a matter of chance how many you get

[heady parcel]

From one thing to the other, does anybody else have a certain naming convention for tamed animals. Me, I name wolves after old dogs I have known, while my chickens I name after my daughters and when I run out of names, ex girlfriends...

[sleek pawn]

I once came across tamed wolves named after Greek gods and people, I've stuck with that 😂

[lone rampart]

My chickens (the ones not raised for meat) all have plant/herb names. Clover, Fern, Rosemary

[heady parcel]

That's a good one

[fossil delta]

As a former farmer, I don't name my food. Pets I tend to name after gods and historical figures.

[heady parcel]

I thought I'd use that for Asksvin this time around, just because it fits their nature so abysmally bad

[lone rampart]

That’s why the meat ones don’t get named 😉

[heady parcel]

I name the ones I breed from, not the ones I cull. Easier to not take too many if the ones to spare are named

[lone rampart]

Askvin aren’t bad they’re just necks that grew up in a rough neighborhood 😹

[heady parcel]

And ate steroids like cereal

[lone rampart]

Gotta be big to survive

[fossil delta]

IDK, mice and cockroaches seem to do well.

[lone rampart]

It was natural selection; the little ones got scooped up for vulture food!

Mice and cockroaches occupy a different ecological niche

[heady parcel]

Living in a four-way (almost five) biome crossing means every night is a warzone outside my walls, at dawn I just walk a lap around the premises and pick up the loot

[lone rampart]

Nice

I have a valley on one of my islands that’s half Black Forest, half plains, and completely surrounded by mountains. I want to build there but I’d have to hike half a day just to get to the ocean.

But I understand the warzone

[heady parcel]

Yeah the spot I found is where black forest, plains, meadows and swamp meet, and at the intersection sits Hildir's camp - and within sight in the swamp is the bog witch. Ocean shore within sight, and just up the hill a tall mountain full of silver. Fantastic location for a base in a no-portals world.

[merry pebble]

That sounds lovely

[heady parcel]

On the same island a bit south is a lot of Mistlands too, I haven't been to other islands since I got here, other than to kill Moder and Yagluth.

Some of the site visible here #building-screenshots message

[vestal pollen]

I need help just areived in ashlands with my friend and we are completely lost

[deft blaze]

Which skills do you all normally get to max and in what order? And is that with or without power leveling?

[ebon monolith]

I’ve never maxed a skill lol though I’d imagine my weapon skill would go up first

[light moat]

Running is usually my only skill to hit 100

[ebon monolith]

I die way too much to ever have a chance at high skills lol

the desire to do stupid shit that gets you killed beats my common sense

[tawny glade]

6th boss vesigr in first dungeon I find 😮

did they make mistlands so they could stop working on the game as mcuh? biome makes me not want to play anymore lmfao

[deft blaze]

Yeah that's definitely fair, that's how most of my characters are
I only have max on a long-term world at day 1400, I play super safe because it's no map/no portal and I don't want to get lost or teleport back to spawn

I got run and jump around day 800 and pickaxe at 1300. Next are probably axes, bows and woodcutting above 80. No power leveling yet but I might

[haughty stone]

does anyone know if the devs are planning on adding magic earlier in the game as well

[merry pebble]

As far as we know, no.

Tho i dont think it was either confirmed or denied by the devs directly

[lusty dirge]

Did they fix digging under the central tower in fortresses? I just found my first one where that wasn't possible because the walls extended below the dig limit

[merry pebble]

Well, kinda, you can still get in in the corners 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I had enough vision problems in the game as it was, so the mists of the Mistlands are not something I enjoy either. That said, Ashlands is the biome I truly do not like.

[lusty dirge]

Nope, not in this one. The walls go all the way down

[merry pebble]

You should be able to dig open gap large enough to squeeze through, i have done it after the walls were extended

[lusty dirge]

Well up until now all the instances I've seen had a gap below the wall and the dig limit about the size of the character which made it possible to dig out the corner and get through, but not this one.
Or was this always possible depending on terrain generation?

[merry pebble]

Terrain generation maybe could affect it, but the fortresses always change the terrain a bit i believe

[lusty dirge]

That's why I'm surprised, that's the first time I'm seeing this and I've done many fortresses since the CtA patch.

[tawny glade]

hildir isn't selling an iron pit? how do i get one

nevermind I'm stupid... hildor and haldor are two different people

[merry pebble]

Yep, Hildir and Haldor are siblings 🙂

[gray sand]

Woodcutting, Mining, Swimming

Weapon skills, Running, Blocking

Farming

All other skills.

[rotund dust]

Fishing obviously the most important.

[light moat]

Swimming?

[gray sand]

Yes. I level it while smelting. So it is one of my highest skills due to the sheer amount of smelting I do 😁

[rotund dust]

I normally just sleep when smelting.

[gray sand]

You can get 3 cycles per day if you wake up, do 2 while staying awake, and then put a third in before you sleep.

[rotund dust]

Yeah sleep at night, then head out in day, play the game, and come back at night. Generally tho, if i have mass loads of smelting to do, I just throw down 10 smelters, always have backup coal. So always have constant smelting per boat load brought back

How often do you swim that you need to train it while smelting? 😂

[gray sand]

Smelt 1700 iron with 3 smelters, you have a lot of swimming time 😁

[rotund dust]

Yeah, lack of processing power henec why takes ages 😛

Just lost my hardcore toon, checking discord without pausing... I was at 99 club... Almost had my first 100 skill. cries

[wraith current]

should i buy valheim i dont have it and it looks fun to play

[rotund dust]

Yes. Its my favourite game. There is plenty to discover, its beautiful, and well worth the money.

[chrome badge]

Absolutely, it's still contending for my favorite game years after I bought it.

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

[exotic silo]

Probably not since it will break game balance cuz magic are OP.

[rotund dust]

Magic should stay as it is, no need it in the first 5 biomes...

[gray sand]

They have repeatedly and strongly said "no" to that particular ask.

[exotic silo]

What are your favorite games? List 5 of them so we can give u feedbacks.

[wraith current]

I've never really looked into other games besides childhood games which I love which would be Roblox and Minecraft. Pretty young and basic i know 😅

[chrome badge]

Those are excellent stepping stones on the way to games like Valheim 🤘

[rotund dust]

My son and daughter both absolutely love valheim, despite still being young, and they both played minecraft/roblox (Still do)

[exotic silo]

If u love Minecraft, you'll love valheim.

[wraith current]

How old are Valheim players usually and would they accept someone who's on the younger side like me?

Also would it be a safe enough environment

[wraith current]

I assume the answer is yes since a lot of people see very friendly and safe around here

[rapid bison]

It shouldn't matter long as you get along with everyone

[wraith current]

Sounds about right. Glad to hear it

[exotic silo]

U can browse #1024264966712340510 to see server preferences.
There are no set age req. Everyone set their own rules.
Valheim is all ages if u don't mind the very minimal gore.

[chrome badge]

Valheim isn't necessarily dependent on the community, and plays just as well(if not better) when alone.

[wraith current]

Also how long do like the worlds last?

[wraith current]

Sounds perfect

[exotic silo]

Until u delete it.

[wraith current]

Oh ok got it

Thanks for the advice guys I'll be downloading valheim for sure

It sounds pretty great

[rapid bison]

I'm not really young anymore, but can keep up with younger gamers with my twitch reflexes. Still struggle to defeat first boss with bare hands though.
Without any food buffs.

[exotic silo]

U. Hardcore.

[rapid bison]

Got tired of seeing me death totem and went for something easier.

I spawned in Eikthyr as two star fight.

[exotic silo]

Bare hands is what.. 19 dmg per hit?

[rotund dust]

I wish bosses could naturally spawn in Starred 😂

[rapid bison]

Shield was useless, broke my flint spear, broke my club, had to finish him off with bare hands. I came full circle, hehe

[exotic silo]

U can star them with mods if u want to. 😂

[rotund dust]

I play no mods, I enjoy game as it is 🙂

[exotic silo]

Yeah. Just listing the option for u.

[rapid bison]

Even without mods, console can help make difficulty more hardcore

[exotic silo]

Oh yes. Especially when building. 😂

[rapid bison]

Well, I do wish we had free cam for building.

But seriously, if you can invite others into your game, a boss right with one or two stars can be really fun.

[rapid bison]

Move the decimal point over. More like 1.9

Even with barehanded skill at 100, your damage works still be a joke.

Maybe fun as a group fight though.

[rotund dust]

Just noticed when killing 2* Neck, that it drops 4 tails, despite only having 1.. I want to see a neck with 4 tails 😂

[glad night]

That depends on if you join a community server, or simply host a save file for you and your friends to play.

Usually, age isn't a factor to most players, It's behavior

[nocturne wolf]

Why are you killing rare necks

[rotund dust]

Because I died on my hardcore world, and that means world deletion, so I am back in the meadows, doing meadows things 🙁

[nocturne wolf]

Those necks are playing hardcore too with you around

[rotund dust]

I was just collecting Flint, ignoring them, then they attacked me, it was self defence and I'm sticking to that!

[gray sand]

They attacked you for using a C instead of an S 😏😉😛

[rotund dust]

Since when was defence ever spelt with a s

[gray sand]

Always 😏

[rotund dust]

Not in the english language 🙂

The difference between defence and defense is the spelling guidelines of British and American English.

Ah... American things...

[gray sand]

Freedom spelling. 😏(joking, if it was not obvious)

[near furnace]

🤔

Defense vs defence ?

Armor vs Armour?

[gray sand]

Smiffe vs. Subject?
😈

[rotund dust]

Armour just looks so wrong

[near furnace]

Amour is the correct spelling tho

[gray sand]

See, I'm with him on the Armour 😁

Spelling like.. defence/offence with the C... it's not a white picket fence... 😭

Plus you don't say offencive.

Or defencive.

[near furnace]

offensive ?

offencive ?

[gray sand]

Offensive. Aye.
So offense.

[rotund dust]

This is why people get so confused with the English language

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCo0hSFAWOc

so yes 🤔

[gray sand]

No...
Cough
Tough
Through
Plough

All the same 😈

[rotund dust]

Just had my first seed with merchant on starting island 😮

[wraith current]

got it!

[kind mesa]

are big name valheim servers falling off

tyrenheim is gone

[glad swift]

Anyone want to jam?

[gray sand]

We park in DRIVEways and drive in PARKways so... 😉

If you pronounce "naked" the same way you pronounce baked, your life gets a lot more whimsical 😄

[wintry valve]

I love this

Anyway turns out that armor is the original spelling. Brits started changing some wording to look fancier at some point.

Wait no, I think im wrong

No, I was right. Armor is the "original" spelling

[keen delta]

Has anyone else had so much fun building up their main Valheim world that it killed some computer hardware due to the mega base you couldn't let go of? 😅

[bitter sage]

The next update should have some server update like ark asa has. They made it so easy to change server rates and add mods

[rapid bison]

Nah, I think the best example is still aluminum vs aluminium.

[gray sand]

Aluminium is the correct way.

[wintry valve]

aluminium 100% confirmed for deep north metal

[frank saddle]

I dunno chief, first time playing

I think I got a decent world, spawn is near the coastline

Not bad for a first time, now if my laptop was working properly :(

[deft blaze]

Oh interesting, what are you doing to swim so much?

[gray sand]

I swim while smelting.

[deft blaze]

Oh I JUST saw you answered that my bad
good idea I just stand around while smelling

[steel mica]

Im about to throw hands at this tree

literally ✊

[glad night]

I sleep

[jagged wind]

pog

[wary nimbus]

how do tamed animals detect hostile mobs? I got my guys in big stone boxes but they keep getting upsetti sphagetti when something they shouldn't be able to see walks by

and vise versa, I had a 2 star boar get merc'd by a big fart cloud through a wall

[arctic python]

I'm so annoyed I got a bear down to 2 hp but it took so long its turned night time and 2 shamans are healing it faster than I can dmg it

[exotic silo]

Basically the same as when they're in the wild.

[exotic silo]

Make a double wall with some distance between them!

[zinc marsh]

Anyone wanna play now?

[tacit crystal]

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

[vernal karma]

https://www.youtube.com/live/5HnZhRKZ_Ew?si=KK7u3RjTg-tLDCrl&t=29360 pretty unbelivable that this is still a problem (dying before you load out of the portal)

then again, i think you still can't change dodge keybind 😂

then again, that's been a problem in terraria for many years too

[subtle scaffold]

me wishing i can bind it to one of my mouse keys instead of doing block + space

[steel mica]

Getting slapped by a troll whilst making it mine and still continuing to mine is an absolute chad move

[agile star]

Way to annoying for me to do, I rather pickaxe the copper myself. It is kinda cool tho to dodge the troll each time

[heady parcel]

That is one reason not to leave portals out in the open. The other being mobs targeting and destroying them. Enclosing them in a tiny hut doesn't cost much in the way of time or wood, but can save you a lot of headache...

[vernal karma]

the game should load in before your character does, so you're actually in control.

[nocturne wolf]

Players are invincible while teleporting, you died after you were in control

[vernal karma]

it does not matter if you're in control if it was 1ms after gaining control 😄

[heady parcel]

In all fairness, he didn't get much time to react... In a solo world it should not be technically impossible to have the world remain frozen while the player is in the loading screen, but I will stand by it being an unnecessary risk to leave portals out in the open where there are hostile mobs. Especially drakes, since they are right <bleep>s.

[vernal karma]

simply delaying the TP process to when the visual are loaded, will go far. but ideally you get maybe 0.1 sec more invincibility after gaining character control.

[nocturne wolf]

just making players not targetable while teleporting would work

that way the drake wouldn't be able to start its attack until you can see it too

[west pulsar]

Because it's detection is based on radius not sight

Sorta

[west pulsar]

Then don't set up portals where you die

That's poor planning not a game issue

[vernal karma]

bear is resistant to pierce.... that is very ilogical

[tacit crystal]

I think it's okay, it balances the pierce options a bit as they're still good against everything else.

[vernal karma]

pierce is the worst damage type by a long margin.

it's not about balance, it's about what makes sense, that's why lox are resistant to slash and blund, and skeletons weak to blunt.

[nocturne wolf]

Black forest already has another high-health enemy with a pierce weakness

[nocturne wolf]

balance is more important

[merry pebble]

"What makes sense"... In a game where you are an undead viking carried into one of a 10 worlds connected by gigantic cosmic tree to slay enemies of a god who made this world into a prison for them. Where you can use magic my eating certain types of vegetation and if you eat enough you can survive fall from low or high orbit without as much as a broken ankle...

[heady parcel]

I think the bear being resistant to pierce was mostly about making bows less ideal to deal with nearly everything at that stage. Kiting it around and shooting it full of arrows can still be done, but it is impractical.

[lone rampart]

So, "realistically speaking," bears have very tough skin, and in colder regions a thick layer of fat just below. To say nothing of just how muscular a creature they are. I think it makes perfect sense that you can't easily pierce them.

[merry pebble]

In reality pierce dmg would be better than slash or blunt 🙂 thick skin resists slashing much taht piercing and the fat below the skinn would work very well to redistribute the blunt forces

[gray sand]

Carrying 300kg at a baseline and being able to sprint with that much is also total making sense. 😏

[merry pebble]

However this is a game and balance is more important than realism, especially in fantasy game.

[gray sand]

What do you mean poison lasts only 10s and then my body is totally fine?

What do you mean wood structures stick together perfectly without any nails or specially carved joints?

[vernal karma]

bear does not need to be weak to pierce, or anything. neither do trolls

[vernal karma]

things can and should make sense in a fantastical world.

''season 8 don't need to make sense because dragons''

clearly they tried to have weapon types make sense for a while there. so there is no need to go actively against what makes sense.

[nocturne wolf]

making sense doesn't always mean being realistic

[tacit crystal]

What if Valheim bears are just built differently than IRL bears?

[lone rampart]

Have you seen their faces? They're definitely built different 😬

[tacit crystal]

That stare is still frightening.

[wintry valve]

fun fact: bear is the english word for bear

[silk token]

i'm glad bears are resistent to pierce, it encourages new players to accept the opportunity to learn the game instead of hiding on top of something with a bow for thousands of hours of gameplay.

[lone rampart]

I don't know why, but I love mining with the help of a 'friendly' neighborhood golem

[silk token]

i can't mine copper without a troll anymore, it just takes way too long and its not as fun as chopping trees

[lone rampart]

I haven't needed copper in a long while 😅 But I will somehow always need more rocks. 🏰

[silk token]

and between typing that and now i "mined" an entire node XD

[lone rampart]

nice!

[winged sand]

hi everyone, is here someone who can share the code, searching for some good company to play with and talk

[heady parcel]

Now, wouldn't it be nice if the bear meat could be made into a jerky? Boar Jerky is 23 H/S, Wolf Jerky is 33. How about making Bear Jerky 33/33 and giving wolf jerky a little buff to 43/43? As is, the wolf jerky is extremely underwhelming for the tier in which you get the recipe. Stat total of other cooked mountain foods is between 80-86 while wolf jerky is 66 - and swamp foods are 66-73. Due to this stat disparity, jerky is basically just a waste of mats. They used to be somewhat useful as base loitering foods but the addition of feasts has bumped them off the chart. There's just no reason to make jerky at all in the current game.

[glad night]

I mean, I’m still trying to figure out how you make said feasts

[celest fiber]

Hello everyone! I've been really inspired by Valheim lately, and as an artist, I'd like to ask if I can post a post with "commissions"? I'd be happy for anyone who wants to draw in the Valheim setting. :p

[tacit crystal]

You can post any Valheim related art in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202323331148161115 👍

Note that it must be created by yourself only, not AI or anyone else's.

[celest fiber]

thanks for the answer! and of course, no AI or anyone else's art✊

[tacit crystal]

One dev especially have shared their enthusiasm for all fan art there are: #fanart message

[heady parcel]

Haha put myself into sort of a predicament. Found a petrified skull, mined it out entirely - cleanly with just an access hole in the top. This way seekers and other annoying things can't get to me while I'm working, I usually knock a hole in the side when I'm done. Now this time I didn't quite pay attention and my pickaxe broke. Can't get out...

Can hear a gjall and seekers bustling about outside, get a soldier hear to knock a hole in this here skull, guys!

Ooooh I managed to jump out, parkour viking style!

Helps to have Jump skill in the 90s

Gods two-star seekers are scary. That angry red hue and knowing they can combo you to eternity if you mess up

[lone rampart]

Seriously

Especially if they just appear out of the mist

[heady parcel]

First time I approached the queen's lair it was defended by a two-star with two one-star buddies. I faced them on a tiny strip of land with sheer cliff wall on one side and ocean on the other. Only old Bonemass and absurd luck helped me survive that. Was a harder fight than the queen herself.

[silk token]

yeah ithink id rather face a boss than the 2 star variant from their biome

[nocturne wolf]

some bosses can take so long to kill though

2-stars too but it's not as bad

[tawny glade]

am i missing something with arbalest? feels like it does the same dmg as a bow but takes years to reload

[heady parcel]

Arbalest is an ambush weapon - does tremendous damage to an unwary foe - but as a sustained damage weapon it sucks monkey balls. Shoot once, then swap to something better fitted for an actual fight

I imagine it is more useful in group play where you have people being close and dirty with the foes so you can stand and reload in peace

Look at it as a sniper rifle, it is not something you bring into a close quarters fight

[maiden tartan]

How do you even deal with 2 star wolves

It’s not like you can outrun or parry them

[heady parcel]

Hit them first, wolves are glass cannons - they bite hard but are glass cannons

[maiden tartan]

That only works if you have insta stagger weapons like atgeirs

Which I am a big fan of but that’s not important right now

[heady parcel]

A good sword will stagger a wolf

[maiden tartan]

Well, my iron mace doesn’t seem to do the job

Sadge

[heady parcel]

Might be you should simply not be out in the mountains at night yet

[maiden tartan]

Ngl

I don’t like how mountains hardlock your grave

You either have a ton of frost meads stored or sit afk for 3 days

For meads to cook

[heady parcel]

With an upgraded silver sword for example they do get staggered. Also if you are in iron gear you should be able to parry, unless you are running with low base health.

[maiden tartan]

Meads take ridiculous amount of time to finish cooking imo

Ik how meads are made irl and I know that it takes time

But we are in a game so

[heady parcel]

At that stage, I recommend making more than one fermenter. Make three or four, that way you'll have several meads at various levels of fermenting

[tawny glade]

Just craft some spare cloaks

[heady parcel]

And when starting out in the mountains, prioritise either the cloak or the armour that gives frost resist, then you can forget about the mead

[merry pebble]

You mean the 2 days? 😄 You get 6 at a time, and in the case of resistance meads you get 10 minutes from each, so you could chug all 6 consecutively and you would have the next batch ready even if you didnt sleep at all

[maiden tartan]

Isn’t it 3

[merry pebble]

Nope

[heady parcel]

Gods, a soldier stomping around in a mine making the whole dungeon shake, haven't seen it yet but I'm scared

Now, I wish to register a complaint. In the dungeon known as "Infested Mine" the clever Dvergr have built defence works here and there in the dungeons - I have now come upon a room full of a shocking amount of seekers, one of them a two-star soldier, and there's this perfectly placed arrow slit overlooking the entire room. BUT I CAN'T SHOOT ARROWS THROUGH IT. AAaaargh!

[lone rampart]

It's a dvergr arrow slot, you're too tall 😹
"Must be below this tall to ride the ride!"

[heady parcel]

Lol, damn dvergr!

HAH, but Himminafl spin-to-win works, eat my polearm ye filthy bugs!

[heady parcel]

Heh, this mine had not a single secret room, but still yielded seven cores. Lack of chests means I have to leave at least two stacks of seeker meat lying on the floor, just can't get it with me. Dangit!

[somber bloom]

hello

im thinking bout getting this game is it worth it

[merry pebble]

Well, keep in mind that since we are on the official Valheim server we might be a bit biased, but imo 100000% worth it 😄

[indigo beacon]

best survival game ever

[somber bloom]

Ever gonna go on sale me and my friend wanna cop

[heady parcel]

What does it cost now $30? I'm 2500 hours in, good amount of entertaining for the buck...

[indigo beacon]

anyone else not bother taming and breeding animals? it just seems like more trouble than its worth. I'd rather just hunt animals

[merry pebble]

Usually goes to sale with the big steam sales 🙂

[merry pebble]

20

[indigo beacon]

$20 sometimes goes on sale for $10

[somber bloom]

When’s the next big sale

[heady parcel]

Considering the game delivers about 5000% times the content of your average $70 AAA game, I'd say YEAH IT IS WORTH IT

[merry pebble]

Winter sale will start December 18th
https://steamdb.info/sales/history/

[indigo beacon]

yeah i have 200 hours and the furthest i've ever made it is plains

[heady parcel]

I don't anymore, once I get to Ashlands I'll make an asksvin pen to have asksvin as one-way disposable commuting rides

other than that, if you want to breed boar, wolves or lox is entirely up to playstyle. Me, I prefer hunting them.

[indigo beacon]

yeah i think its more fun to hunt and have to find them than to have a farm i agree, to each their own though no judgment either way

[trim crag]

You can get a steam key for it for 10 bucks I just did

[somber bloom]

Where

[trim crag]

Google is your best friend

I got mine on humble bumble it’s the cheapest there

Bundle*

[heady parcel]

I believe a good farm is a sensible thing to build in a group environment where you are a number of people sharing the same base. Sustaining on hunting alone then would requireing roaming further out - meaning less time for actual progress. So it's kinda analogous to real life development. Fascinating stuff.

[trim crag]

Someone start a fresh game w me im new to the gameeeee

[heady parcel]

If you are entirely new - I recommend you find another one equally new, or just play solo a while. Playing your first few hours with someone who knows everything will rob you of much of the fun.

[somber bloom]

It says this Attention: Delayed delivery of key. We are in the process of restocking keys for your region. Your key will be delivered to you as soon as it becomes available.

[trim crag]

Yeah I actually found someone who was new earlier he just had to hop off lol

Idk buddy that’s where I got mine last night

[indigo beacon]

just wait for the winter sale its on the 18th like the other person said

[somber bloom]

Aight

[grand juniper]

I feel really forunte to make it to Ashlands with friends. I couldn't do this solo, or at least my patience wouldn't let me

[silk token]

i stopped taming long time ago, just hunting as you go gives plenty as long as your aren’t draping your royal castle in a hundred banners

[wintry valve]

in my last run, I felt I could have used some tamed boars

[buoyant ridge]

if i get a valhiem tattoo what should i get it of

[sharp cradle]

it

is a good game, but development speed is glacial, netcode is mediocre

[indigo beacon]

my issue is i just have a bad habit of restarting my worlds so i never make it that far

[opaque sundial]

So, just like every other franchise?

[sweet moon]

#screenshots message I have moved beyond swimming to the world tree, I am above it now

[grand condor]

Hello all, looking to join a server after not playing for several years.

[sharp cradle]

don’t rush too hard to defend it, the netcode is poorly written and that isn’t an issue with every other franchise

glacial development isn’t an issue with every other franchise

it’s weird to suggest that’s the case

[lusty coral]

HEY im pretty new to the game, havent played in a few years apart from in some meadows and black forests. where should i start?

[pliant hatch]

You should start in the Meadows. There's a red tombstone like thingy in the stone circle you drop in, click at it and it will point you towards the location of the first boss.
Defeat him and you will get the materials to craft a pickaxe, which you will need in the next biome.

Collect the materials you encounter along the way - including plants - and they will unlock the things you will be able to craft / build / cook.

Build yourself a base - preferred close to water - because at some point you will have to sail. Defeat the boss of the second biome when you're ready for it and his drop will give you a clue about where to go next.
Same with the bosses in the biomes to follow; each of their specific drop will give you a clue where to go next. Either in the text or by what it does.

[jovial sleet]

Do you guys like the vile bone set?
The damage penalty combined with low armor is kind of rough

[tacit crystal]

Stamina regen by itself is huge, plus the damage boosts.

[buoyant ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hello-wave-gif-7674489298405380241

gimmi ideas for a good valheim tattoo

[jovial sleet]

Do you guys prefer the pole arm or spear?
Or What's your guys favorite melee piercing weapon?
Or do you skip that all together?

[light moat]

Pierce is my least preferred melee option 🤔

[gray sand]

Spears my beloved.

[jovial sleet]

Does upgrading access not increase the chop effectiveness?

And how do you transport lox

[nocturne wolf]

The chop damage does increase with upgrades

[nocturne wolf]

The best way is probably using a saddle and riding them

[jovial sleet]

Across the ocean?

[nocturne wolf]

They can swim

[jovial sleet]

Somehow I doubt they have stamina to cross the ocean

[ebon monolith]

it’s a bit scuffed but you can fit a lox on a longboat

[tacit crystal]

I might even say that Vilebone maulclaws are fun piercing weapon.

But I find both spears and atgeirs fun and effective in their own ways. Atgeir has range and that strong secondary attack which has high stagger and AoE, spears have fast hitting attacks and can initiate combat effectively when you throw the spear at unalerted enemy and while it takes backstab damage and possibly gets staggered you can run at it, pick your spear quickly and deal finishing blows.

[wintry valve]

people dont use spears or atgeir because they do piercing damage, they use it because their movesets are great

spears attacks very quickly and can be thrown, atgeirs have this whirlwind emergency move

also I discovered recently that spears float so they can be thrown at sea serpents in a pinch with minimal risks of losing the weapon

and anyway they are hella cheap to make

[tacit crystal]

Especially Fang spear.

[gray sand]

The one silver weapon with no spirit damage for no reason 😭

[wintry valve]

bro forgot about draugr fang

[near furnace]

because we moved it

[gray sand]

Why though? 😭

[glad night]

Frostner or porcupine?

[gray sand]

Porcupine. No contest.

[near furnace]

because the fang spear use to be the throwing spear you could find in medows chests

[wintry valve]

both. They do different things

[glad night]

They both clubs

[wintry valve]

Porcupine for general combat, frostner to manage large groups

[glad night]

As a tank role

I'm tired of getting one shot in my troll armour lol

[wintry valve]

Both. Porcupine for general combat, frostner to manage large groups

[glad night]

And my knife just isn't cut out for large groups

[gray sand]

So... there is a smol chance it gets spirit damage added now that the mountain weapon is only in the mountain? 👀

[wintry valve]

Huh... if you are at the point you can make these weapons, I highly suggest updating your armor and foods.

Troll armor is good when you are in the black forest. Even then I wonder how good it is against a bear

[glad night]

Don't get hit, and it's fine 😉

[nocturne wolf]

Bears do less damage than trolls, and against trolls it’s still very good

[wintry valve]

really? Well then

[chrome badge]

I used troll all the way to ashlands 😛

[wintry valve]

On the other hand I kill trolls much faster than I kill bears

[exotic silo]

I'm kinda confused as to why youre using troll armor as a "tank"

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-snape-harrypotter-alan-rickman-idk-gif-4982423

[glad night]

I am not currently the "tank", I'm changing it up lol

I'm becoming the tank

[wintry valve]

Theres no real "tanking" role in this game on the account that theres no aggroing moves you can do.

[gray sand]

Game doesn't have a taunt mechanic so you can't really be a dedicated tank.

[dark coyote]

frostner is better in mistlands and ashlands imo

[chrome badge]

You can aggro by being the first to engage

[glad night]

No, but you can interpose yourself in between the enemy

[wintry valve]

The only thing you can do is protect yourself, and you do that by stuffing your face and wearing bigger armor

and using a shield, but I find that largely optional

[gray sand]

And then watch them walk around you because pathfinding ai 😉

[glad night]

I watch them and move as they do 😉

[exotic silo]

afaik most enemies targets the closest player to them so tank role is to hug the enemies and parry as often as possible
not really a dedicated tank with huge hp pool and survivability skill, but u get the idea

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor is only 6 points behind bronze, which isn’t much. A combination of bear and bronze gives the best defence with no movement penalty though.

[gray sand]

If everyone in your group isn't capable of fighting solo, that's something to work on 🤷‍♂️

[exotic silo]

no. he's at plains wearing troll armor

[glad night]

It's me and my brother lol, but my brother is hosting from across the world lol

[exotic silo]

tbh, since you're proficient enough with sneaking, u should just stay with knives and bow. for large groups, just pick them one by one with huntsman bow.

[nocturne wolf]

Take off the armor to carry more items if it’s that weak for your biome

[glad night]

Difficult when the Horde attacks

[exotic silo]

Build a better defense with hoe and pickaxes.

[chrome badge]

Or just walls, no need to cheese the AI.

[glad night]

Somewhat difficult to do with this base haha

[exotic silo]

Or make a treehouse. That's also an option.

[exotic silo]

I'd rather cheese the AI than letting them destroy my builds.

[nocturne wolf]

Just go outside and fight them

[exotic silo]

The op said they have difficulty fighting them 🤷‍♂️

For me personally, I'm always up for a fight. I just don't want them to destroy my builds.

[chrome badge]

I've never had any raid/night spawn get by my walls, and I just use stone.

[dark coyote]

terraforming ftw

[chrome badge]

Imo if you're terraforming, just turn off raids.

You're not interested in base defense 😛

[exotic silo]

Raid = free resource.

[dark coyote]

someones jealous

[chrome badge]

That resource is available anytime anywhere.

[exotic silo]

Well it's free. They come to us by their own will. I'd rather not waste it.

Takes less time to transport too.

[chrome badge]

Yeah that doesn't track, it's no different than killing them in any other capacity.

That time is already lost spending time terraforming.

😛

[exotic silo]

Well I guess you're talking from the pov of someone who's playing valheim for the combat. Which is understandable.

[chrome badge]

I don't mind the base defense aspects either, there's plenty of options without breaking enemy pathing/line of sight.

[rotund dust]

I love the raids, and trying to defend my base without it getting destroyed! Its why I have on the highest amount of raids... constant action at base

[silk token]

i tried max raids because i love them and the combat too, but it started to feel like "ugh, AGAIN?" so i just do "more"

[jovial sleet]

How wide can you make a stone house?

[lone rampart]

I am going to strangle my bf if he keeps eating the high-tier food when building. That is for Ashlands excursions!!

[rotund dust]

What if he falls off the top floor and dies, cos you denied him food... that wouldnt be good

[silk token]

you mean how tall? like 3 stories-ish easily if you use corewood on top

[lone rampart]

He's got a feather cloak he's fine 😹

[dark coyote]

stone has a 1/1 horizontal loss, 1/8 vertical

[chrome badge]

That's hilarious, Eyescream and Sausages are my go to for building.

[lone rampart]

Turnip soup, sausages, & whatever else is cluttering up the tavern storage

[jovial sleet]

I guess a bit of both, I'm trying to make a large square Central room with wings going off each side

[silk token]

you can get pretty dang high with stone and corewood, fi you go too nuts a few iron beams here and there will fix it

[paper marsh]

Same. Max feels okayyy Lategame when you can set up proper defenses, but “more” is generally just the move

[silk token]

i like raids because the creatures bring their resources to me, but it just becomes a chore if it's more than "more" like ugh i JUST put my work clothes on..."

getting that meadows raid early is moneyyyy

[paper marsh]

Same

Except I don’t tend to bother swapping armor when working at base but I get the sentiment

I find though that once you can set up ||ballistas and bear traps|| and such it becomes a little easier to automate defenses against the simple raids that come your way, and then you only have to engage once a dangerous raid hits

[vernal karma]

bear is a litle excessive, considderably harder then at least the 3 first bosses and any non boss mob?

[gray sand]

Bear cannot harm you if you... hold a torch.
Not sure how that makes them considerably harder than anything?

[grim zodiac]

Bear also has a very easy attack pattern so dodging and blocking him is very easy

[sweet moon]

why did my image in #screen get deleted?

[vernal karma]

you're describing valheim in general, and bear is the exception

[grim zodiac]

No Star Bear is no harder than most things in the Dark Forest just has more Health, 1 Star bear is on a different level

[sweet moon]

just encountered my first bear and he's stuck on a rock out at sea. Took close to 80 arrows to get him to half health

[drifting socket]

in northern mythology heaven is apprently not where you wanna end up

[sweet moon]

heaven is portrayed in all of them as a dictatorship, worship or suffer, serve or die

[gray sand]

🤔

[drifting socket]

if vallhalla is portrait as a basically endless fight till ragnarök, seems pretty dark compared to hel

[sweet moon]

but in a religion that relishes in fights, that is nothing sweeter

[paper marsh]

Damn looking through recent(ish) changes, combat changed a lot. Making me more excited about coming back and finishing my run

[wintry valve]

In viking lands, valhalla was the promised lands for warriors, but it wasnt the only desirable outcomes. Farmers, other simple folks had their own promised land where they could exist until ragnarok and going there was what these men wanted too.

[open notch]

I’m new to valheim and played a few times with friends but like I still barely know anything about the game if anyone wants to play and teach me the game that’d be great

Tuff thx

[plush umbra]

Any tips on building a safe portal to the swamp? Just prepping to head there for the first time

[halcyon mason]

build it on one of the big trees or above a sunken crypt

or if u find meadows/black forest nearby it would be safer to put it there i guess

[tacit crystal]

On top of sunken crypt has been safe choice for me so far.

[brisk walrus]

is there a way to decorate with flowers ?

to be more specific, i'm trying to put flowers on a tomb stone. i found thsitle on a lying item stand looks good but i'm looking for more variety

[tacit crystal]

Don't remember but maybe dandelions/thistles could be placed with serving tray.

[brisk walrus]

unfortunately no

[tacit crystal]

Then item stands.

But seed flowers can be planted and once they're fully grown you can build around them and they won't get harmed unless you hit them.

[foggy glacier]

try planting carrot/turnip/onion seeds.

unless you're looking to lay them flat.

I don' know of any fox in the game.

[tacit crystal]

There is also https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 for discussing or asking about mods.

[plush umbra]

Really daft question but how are you building on a tree? Is that a piece of equipment you unlock when you go to the swamp to farm like a ledge etc?

[merry pebble]

You can build on any tree just by using hammer 🙂

[plush umbra]

Clearly I’ve missed quite a big trick then… Thanks dude 🙂

[wintry valve]

You cant build on any tree. The one they are talking about are less trees and more land features. They are indestructible.

Frankly you dont even have to do that in my opinion. Swamp critters leave your stuff around the same way any other monster would from other biomes.

[candid basalt]

I like tree houses for when I don’t want to deal with abominations

Or for afking while surtling spawn

When do Yule decorations become available?

December 1st found it

[keen sierra]

well, it will be long and careful sailing today. casue wind is going on wrong direction which forced me to sail painfully slow and it's so foggy today.

i'm going in north direction but wind went south

[brisk walrus]

a shaman greydwarf just killed all my pigs through the wall 🥲

[keen sierra]

:*(

[chrome badge]

For this reason I space my tame pens about 3 wood poles from the walls

[brisk walrus]

one of many lessons learned the hard way

[merry pebble]

You can build on any tree 🙂 the only difference is that some of the swamp trees are indestructible

[wintry valve]

Really?

[merry pebble]

Yes, they all count as "ground" from support stantpoint

[wintry valve]

welp

[merry pebble]

It is one of the ways to make really tall towers 🙂 just put a pine in the middle of it

[wintry valve]

sounds like a recype for a catastrophe, really

[merry pebble]

Not really, since the tree is in the middle of the structure there is quite a low chance of enemies getting to it

[indigo beacon]

what will happen if I try to load a save file from 2021?

[gray sand]

It will load.

[indigo beacon]

alright just wanted to make sure it wouldn't corrupt the file or anything cause its so old

[tacit crystal]

The world gen will update the unexplored areas in your world to add new content.

[indigo beacon]

ok thanks

[keen sierra]

what is funniest or other mistake ever you made?

[gray sand]

Trees remain my highest cause of death to this day 😭

[paper marsh]

Jumping into the chimney of my buddy's house while naked and ending up getting cooked alive because I couldn't get out

All the while he and one of my other friends were laughing at me

Although one of them felt bad and jumped in to keep me company

[keen sierra]

XD, and this one mistake wasn't mine but it's so funny that i decide to add this.

[paper marsh]

Worst part is once I respawned, I decided to go jump in again

[keen sierra]

mistake is when my friend forgot to pause program that helps server running while we're offline for entire week which ended up laggy server because boar did breed too much. you should look mod screenshot i posted very recently

after this incident, we abandoned program and never used it again XD

[keen sierra]

did you see this picture full of 2 stars boar?

[wary tundra]

When is Valheim probably gonna go on sale?

[keen sierra]

i want to buy valheim pet rockTM :)

[paper marsh]

I would guess maybe christmas?

[keen sierra]

on bright side, we never needing more boar meat again lol

or boar hides

[plush umbra]

I was walking through the Black Forest and stumbled across the Plains… Some little green goblin came and one tapped me… How is something that’s only up to my waist so hench?

[nocturne wolf]

Plains is the fifth biome

[tacit crystal]

Classic.

[paper marsh]

built different

[plush umbra]

Fifth..? I thought there were only 3-4🙄

[nocturne wolf]

There's 7 now and 1.0 will bring the final biome

[plush umbra]

So you’re basically saying stay away from Plains considering I’ve just completely the Bronze era?

[paper marsh]

Next place you wanna go is ||Swamp||

edited that msg, accidentally skipped a step

[plush umbra]

Is the swamp as hard as people are making out compared to a Black Forest?

[gray sand]

No.

[paper marsh]

Just depends on skill level, I suppose. I'd say its a pretty big step up for a new player

For an experienced player its not bad at all, but when you don't know what to expect and prepare it can be rough

[foggy glacier]

There's definitely a step though. Everyone remembers their first 2* draugr.

[paper marsh]

I personally find swamp to be the hardest biome, but I also have a very specific playstyle/world settings so a good amount of people disagree with that view

[plush umbra]

I’m assuming max level bronze armour with a bunch of meads to start then?

[paper marsh]

Sounds good yea. Ensure one of those meads is poison resistance mead

[foggy glacier]

first runthrough, yes. That's good preparation.

[gray sand]

-Gets nuked by 2 star skeleton
Black Forest is a huge step up from Meadows.
-Gets nuked by 2 star draugr
Swamp is a huge step up from BF.
-Gets nuked by 2 star wolf.
Mountain is a huge step up from Swamp.
-Gets nuked by 2 star Fuling.
Plains is a huge step up from Mountain.

Or.... none of them are huge steps because they are all the same steps?

[glad night]

The arrow in the back, out of the rain. Ah, memories

[foggy glacier]

For me it was running out of a side tunnel in a crypt. No iron between us.

[gray sand]

The only drastic biome step is Mistlands purely due to lack of visibility/awareness.
Everything else is separated by pretty much the same margins.

[glad night]

And then you get the 2 star draugr elite 😱

Crypts are fun

[wintry valve]

well theres also the ashlands

because that one does have enemies that nukes you even if you have all the stuff the ashlands has to offer

[plush umbra]

I know no base is technically “safe” but setting up a little portal hub with pointed fences around it in the swamps should survive shouldn’t it?

[foggy glacier]

draugr like to attack structures.

[plush umbra]

Any way to get around this..?

[merry pebble]

Should be fine if you are not spending prolonged periods of time there 🙂
And if enemies cant see you or object that is attacked on sight then you are completely safe

[foggy glacier]

actually yes. The tilted trees are indestructible. if you get out past a branch that they can't get around, you can put up a portal there. Add a few log walls to protect from the archers and you should be okay for a bit.

the stakewalls are afaik not a structure they attack.

or, if you're smart enough to run around with 2 iron, use stone walls.

[keen sierra]

what is etirs and what it do?, secondly, how long it take corps to grow?

[merry pebble]

Eitr or refined eitr? 😄

[gray sand]

For one, eitr doesn't spam the same question across multiple channels 😉

[plush umbra]

From your responses you make it sound like the Swamp wouldn’t be a permanent base location if I’m right?

[foggy glacier]

You can, if you prepare it right.

[glad night]

You could just build it in the tree itself, rather than on the ground

[foggy glacier]

I don't like being always wet.

[foggy glacier]

that works too, I just like having the stairs built in.

[foggy glacier]

depends on the crop. Usually less than 3 in-game day/night cycles.

[keen sierra]

i see, wait about etirs? does it related to magic?

[foggy glacier]

I answered that one in #valheim-help where you also posted it.

[keen sierra]

oh mb, it wasn't active in awhile

[keen sierra]

oh it make sense

[plush umbra]

Alright, cheers for the help bud

[tacit crystal]

Tree house can be fun to build.

[plush umbra]

Fun being the operative word? I’m more worried about building a tidy small base on a tree and it gets shot down/obliterated in 10 minutes 🫠

[tacit crystal]

Building in the indestructable swamp tree is safe for base.

[paper marsh]

If you do want to make an area safe you can always spawn proof it. Workbenches stop enemies from spawning in the white radius around them

Other structures like campfires or torches do the same, it just doesn’t show the circle

[arctic garnet]

I am literally just noticing fire hazards as a world modifier, is there a patch note on this?

[glad night]

It was added when Ashlands released I believe

[nocturne wolf]

yes, it brings the fire/burning pieces from ashlands to all biomes

[glad night]

I was expecting Minecraft level of fire spread, so was a little disappointed haha

[arctic garnet]

I need to look this up because, like... can forests burn down? Will campfires/hearths set nearby wood on fire?

[glad night]

It won’t burn the forest down, unless you really try to. But it will burn adjacent wood pieces

[nocturne wolf]

It also makes wood pieces drop coal instead of wood when destroyed by fire damage

[glad night]

From my testing, the wood has to touch the fire. So nearby should be safe, though I would encourage you to create a test world before you add it to your main haha

[arctic garnet]

Roger

[glad night]

Wood stacks dropping 50 coal is such a fun method instead of the kiln

[gray sand]

Woodcutting with Staff of Embers is fun! 😁

[silk token]

its great for no portal games, came in very clutch one time when i forgot to bring coal for the forge lol. be warned if a fire wielding creature destroys a thing you get coal instead of whatever wood it’s made of.

[lavish cargo]

If there weren't surtling farms, having it on might almost be advantageous.

[dark coyote]

that carries an opportunity cost though

[paper marsh]

I mean, depends if you can find a good route with a lot of surtling pyres, have a base near a pyre, or are willing to sit afk farming stuff

[dark coyote]

if its your own world, you can skip time

[lavish cargo]

Most of your coal is probably used for iron anyway. pyres and iron are both Swamp. And the waiting can be done in parallel with the smelting.

[paper marsh]

Chopping trees can be done in parallel with smelting too

Its just preference really

[lavish cargo]

Yeah. Trees are just slower to renew, and choping+burning+replanting is harder to ballance than the pyre.

[paper marsh]

Again preference yeah. Personally I don't bother to renew trees, just find a new patch to chop down

[paper marsh]

Is it just me or is it weird that ||Queen power benefits magic and sneaking||, when most (if not all) ||magic|| is not even able to do backstab damage?

[nocturne wolf]

||the sneaking is probably there for players who aren't using magic ||

[gray sand]

Staff of Shrouding when? 😏

[proper wyvern]

for what is the iron pit and why cant i teleport it??

[paper marsh]

For decoration at your house or a quicker-to-set-up campfire, I think.

Really I think its just meant for decoration

Can't teleport it because its made of pure metal I suppose

[gray sand]

Additionally cannot teleport because have you teleport restrictions enabled.*

[indigo beacon]

should i make the bronze mace for the swamp or is a level 2 sword enough?

[gray sand]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

[indigo beacon]

im just asking for advice

would it be wise to? is that better?

[gray sand]

But there is no wrong answer?
So if 100 people say "make bronze mace" and 100 other people say "sword is fine".. ?

[merry pebble]

Sword is enough, but mace can be helpfull there if you dont mind spending the bronze 🙂

[gray sand]

Better is subjecthive.

[indigo beacon]

thanks for an actual answer unlike this other person

[merry pebble]

"The other person" is correct tho 😄

[gray sand]

I apologize that you are unable to see that I did give you an actual answer.

I will endeavor to go back in time and change how you learned to think so you can be better equipped for life.

[indigo beacon]

thank you that would mean a lot

[gray sand]

👍

[indigo beacon]

i wasn't trying to be rude but you're like talking in riddles here. i know some people have different opinions but i was asking for anyones opinion.

[gray sand]

I am not speaking in riddles on any level.

[indigo beacon]

alright nevermind i give up

[gray sand]

"There is no wrong answer" - apparently not an answer.
"Sword is good, mace is also good" - literally the exact same information, somehow upgraded to an answer.

Both cases break down to "make your own choice based on what you personally prefer."

[spice drift]

Is it possible to spawn in a debuged stump or log?

[gray sand]

Should be possible to spawn anything you have the ID for afaik.

[echo wind]

"There is no wrong answer" clearly was the wrong answer

[gray sand]

Next time I will be negative and say "there is no right answer."

See if that works better. 👀

[echo wind]

Swords and maces are both wrong. Go in with fists only.

[indigo beacon]

all i was looking for was a "sword is fine" or "get the mace if you can as well as the sword".

[gray sand]

Which is what I said, just with less words.

[indigo beacon]

you said "all matters of should are subjective" like something a college professor would say

[gray sand]

Given the number of people (this is not YOU at all) who come in here asking us to tell them how to play the game, I have had to reply so often that I just have it saved on the clipboard for 1-click response that covers the truth of how there are extremely few "objectively best" scenarios in this game. And that everything else is a matter of preference, which is what makes the game good.

[echo wind]

Is flint knife and rags good gear for ashlands or should I upgrade?

[gray sand]

So nearly every time there is a Valheim question containing "should?" --- the answer is that it is entirely that individual's preference. And how other people choose to play the game should have no bearing on how you, personally, choose to play the game.

[lusty dirge]

You didn't "have to" reply, you chose to. And given that that clipboard reply is not perceived as helpful by the receiver in most cases and you have to explain it every time, maybe you should rethink your strategy

[gray sand]

Nope.

[indigo beacon]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have responded the way I did

[gray sand]

You're fine. I took no offense. 💛
I very much prefer to show you how to arrive at the answer instead of just handing it to you outright, as learning that process helps you more in the long run.

[fossil delta]

The bronze mace is more useful than the bronze sword in the swamps, but you can definitely make it through the swamps with a sword. Especially if you make sure your poison resistance does not expire. Its more ideal to use the mace and sword, or mace and axe, dependent upon what your fighting at a given time.

Personally, I make due with the mace and axe.

[gray sand]

It has advantage vs. just blobs/ooze, no?
It is equal with sword vs. everything else, where sword has no MtP, making it better against multiple enemies.

[merry pebble]

Well, three weaker enemies are more vulnerable to mace and 1 strong enemy is more vulnerable to sword, i would say its pretty 50/50 🙂 but that is my personal opinion

[gray sand]

What am I missing?

[merry pebble]

skeletons

[proper wyvern]

is something wrong with drop chances of vile and bear trophies or am i just unlucky??? i killed close to 40 combined and neither vile or bear trophy

[fossil delta]

Skeletons can add to your problems in the swamp when your first entering. Once your in the next tier gear, they are pretty much just a nuisance.

[gray sand]

Psshhh. BF enemy. Easy by the time you hit Swamp. 😏

[gray sand]

RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh away.

[merry pebble]

I did say they are one of the weak enemies 🙂 doesent mean they should be omited

[fossil delta]

Yeah, RNG is just that fickle.

[gray sand]

Mace of Omission - because it one-shots enemies. 😏

[proper wyvern]

finaly never mind

[fossil delta]

I use Tower Shields, so I only ever have to worry about enemies one at a time. Except for when I run into the middle of fuling villages.

[echo wind]

Mace is slightly better against bonemassius the third, too

[merry pebble]

Heh, so the "complain on discord" method still works xD

[timber marsh]

is it worth making a spikey stick after ive made a black metal sword?

[fossil delta]

Bonemass is less than two minutes with a lvl 4 iron mace. Plus one stamina mead, so you don't have to spend time recovering stamina.

[timber marsh]

i STILL prefer eikthr stamina power over everything else

[proper wyvern]

yeah well i was wondering since the chances was close to 1% after counting for such thing being possible

[merry pebble]

If you have materials for it then try it 🙂 in the worst case you will just display it in your base or put it in chest

[merry pebble]

NAh, 10% 😄

[timber marsh]

stamina > health

[fossil delta]

Me too. I hardly ever use any of the other powers. Even now.

[timber marsh]

i only get 100hp and the rest is stamina

[gray sand]

If your world was made post-update, there is a guaranteed bear trophy at Haldor.

[proper wyvern]

yeah i know im talking after 32 bears total 0 trophies is around 2% or smth

[proper wyvern]

oh yeah ive heard about that

[gray sand]

Me getting 5 drops in a row is the balance to that 😬
So the 10% is accurate.

[merry pebble]

The drop rate is set at 10% 🙂 So each kill has 10% to drop, but rng be doing rng things

[fossil delta]

Not how statistics works. Its 10% each time. It does not change that just because you rolled the dice 40 times. Its still a 10% chance each time. RNG can just be that fickle.

[silk token]

literally it does, ive done it on purpose “man there’s NO infested mines in this whole island” (finds a mine)

[fossil delta]

Like this solo play through, I got 3 bear trophies with my first 10 kills.

[proper wyvern]

i know its still 10% each time but im talking the whole event of 32 rolls i believe

[glad night]

First vile we found dropped the trophy

[echo wind]

Either I win the jackpot or I don't - that's a 50/50 chance

[fossil delta]

My last play through? Over 30 bears before I got my first bear trophy.

[fossil delta]

I get that. Its just that its still only 10% each time. You can get that result the first time,. the 12th time, or the 40th time. Luck is simply that fickle.

[steel mica]

bear trophy

[timber marsh]

fully leveled up padded armor trying to solo two lox and a damn skeet got me...

that was a difficult death run...

[fossil delta]

Which is why I rely on my shield first and foremost.

[merry pebble]

Smash it before it can hit you 😄

[timber marsh]

i went tall shield tank build

[timber marsh]

didnt see it!

[echo wind]

Yep you have a ~3.43% chance of not getting the 10% drop in 32 tries

[glad night]

Tank with only 100hp?

[fossil delta]

Did you have the BM tower shield?

[timber marsh]

ya

[glad night]

^

[merry pebble]

I now have a muscle memory of rolling whenever i hear buzzing and i dont see any squito just for this eventuality xD

[timber marsh]

yeah cuz its so damn slow

[fossil delta]

That thing is like literally carrying a wall. How were they even hurting you?

[glad night]

More hp allows you to fulfill the role of tank better

[timber marsh]

i was cornered by two lox, killed one then a skeet snuck up on me

[glad night]

Allows you to block more before getting staggered

[timber marsh]

didnt help i was on a cliff

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I do 2 HP foods then my best stamina food. With a tower shield you can stand there and recover Stamina whenever you need to. As long as you have good HP.

[timber marsh]

shield dont do much against lox. gotta roll

[glad night]

They do plenty

[timber marsh]

making speed mead now..

[fossil delta]

Ummm. I kill Lox all the time. They hardly hurt you with the BM Tower Shield. As long as you have good HP and are blocking their attacks.

[echo wind]

Murderer! Those poor Lox

[fossil delta]

That shield carries you all the way into the Ashlands for a darn good reason.

[timber marsh]

mmmmm pie

[fossil delta]

Yeah, pie.

[timber marsh]

two feasts and a pie

[glad night]

They aren’t poor, they’re rich is protein!

How are y’all making these feasts?

[steel mica]

Finding turnip seeds the moment I enter my first swamps

[fossil delta]

Bog Witch.

[steel mica]

[glad night]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………..

[timber marsh]

i started a server with some friends and one of them solo speedrun the swamp for us lol

[glad night]

🤦🏻‍♂️

I forgot to go back to her and grab items lol

[timber marsh]

dropped a portal right at her door

[fossil delta]

Get the platter and a few of her ingredients, depending on which biomes you have completed.

[timber marsh]

she loves us

[glad night]

We finished mountains and are in plains. We found the marker for yagluth immediately too… lol. Previous map we were sailing for days trying to find one

I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the platter lol, go figure I have to buy it

[timber marsh]

i rolled a really good seed. everything on the starter continent

[fossil delta]

Then you have at least one 45/45 feast, if not two.

[glad night]

Only 45/45?

[fossil delta]

Which last an hour, each...

[glad night]

Well danggg

[fossil delta]

Not ideal for your hardest biome, but all the rest?

[glad night]

We’re yet to set up the windmill, gotta make a farm in the plains for it

Ideally

[fossil delta]

Wind mill can be built any where. Its the crops that are picky.

[glad night]

I know. It’s just our base is a little bit of a tricky spot for building said windmill lol

[fossil delta]

Well, any where you have an artisan table.

[timber marsh]

so why havent we unlocked the Plains pie picnic even tho we have all the ingredients?

[timber marsh]

are you playing with portals?

[glad night]

Probably station/platter level

[glad night]

Yes

[timber marsh]

oh we just build a fortified farm

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you have to have that one table, plus maybe build an oven.

[timber marsh]

we have all that...

[fossil delta]

Table makes the pie, oven bakes it.

[timber marsh]

well sailors bounty is 45/45

[glad night]

I don’t know the ingredients or requirements for feasts. Last played before bog witch, and also before hildir lol

[timber marsh]

#mods-screenshots message

what am i missing

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure you get the recipes once you buy the platter from her, then the biome specific ingredients she has.

[glad night]

🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know the required ingredients

[exotic silo]

U have flour?

[fossil delta]

Your missing a table. I only see one table.

[glad night]

They wouldn’t have lox pie if they didn’t

[timber marsh]

buthchers table?

[exotic silo]

Oh yea. That's true..

[fossil delta]

I think so. I don't memorize this stuff.

[glad night]

Butchers table is an upgrade for the cauldron though, no? Or does it upgrade prep table too…

[timber marsh]

cauldron is level 4

[fossil delta]

Again, I don't memorize this stuff. Thats what I have recipes for...

So just make sure you have every upgrade possible.

[silk token]

cauldron level shouldnt effect food prep table

[exotic silo]

Youre missing the grassland spice.
What u have is woodland spice.

[timber marsh]

oh

[fossil delta]

You need every kitchen upgrade possible to access the best foods.

[silk token]

only thing i can think of is you have the wrong spices

[exotic silo]

They're both green so I reckon u mistook them

[timber marsh]

"It is only sold after Yagluth has been defeated. "

ahhh thats why

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you definitely need to buy everything the Bog Witch sells, Each boss defeated adds a new spice, or two.

Buy her bottles too, if your into using poisons, or summoning monsters.

[exotic silo]

Mystery solved. 😂

[timber marsh]

time to go fishin then

[fossil delta]

I am a rather big fan of the frost bomb.

The one you make with the blob trophy is kind of fun too.

[timber marsh]

of course all the drake trophy is gone... playing with others everything in the storage is a mess

[fossil delta]

That is one big advantage of playing solo. I get to keep all of the mats. 😄 😄

[timber marsh]

it took 4 of us to take out moder with weak gear but we did it lol

[ebon monolith]

Nice me and my mate did it in swamp gear and won lol

the stone golems were a harder boss then modern

[fossil delta]

I've beat her solo at least 15 times. Probably more, since I like to hang her trophy on my home.

[timber marsh]

we put a portal in a stone building near the top of the mountain... 2 stone golems destroyed it mid fight and left us stranded lmfao

[ebon monolith]

haha same mate

[timber marsh]

it was a hilarious battle

[ebon monolith]

we had 5 stone golems the fight lol

[fossil delta]

Even when I play with my wife, I am the one that fights bosses to get their trophy for our home.

[timber marsh]

well now with gear i could easily solo moder

[ebon monolith]

yeah same

just with fine wood bows and iron gear it’s a challenge

[timber marsh]

i did it with bear armor and a bronze sword lol

[fossil delta]

I would hope that is true for anyone playing Valheim.

[ebon monolith]

we destroyed bone mass and thought we were ready lol

[fossil delta]

Lvl 4 iron gear matches lvl 1 silver gear. Which is what IG bases the difficulty of bosses on. Lvl 1 gear.

[steel mica]

Is eithyr a decent tree chopper?

[fossil delta]

No. Well, if thats your current stage of the game, he isn't bad.

He can take down oaks too.

[steel mica]

Im trying to find a tree wielding blue giant maniac

im having bad luck

[fossil delta]

Trolls are faster.

[steel mica]

The tree wielders are fast

[fossil delta]

But Eithyr can take down all of the tree types.

[steel mica]

and have like arc

[lone rampart]

The secret is to say out loud "Gee I sure hope I don't run into any trolls!" as you wander along the boundary to the black forest.

Guaranteed one comes smashing out at you

[nocturne wolf]

What’s the minimum tool tier for ash trees

[timber marsh]

day 1 we came accross a troll. i poked 3 arrows in its head and just pissed it off... we died

[fossil delta]

Been a couple of years since I compared them, but pretty sure even the rock troll takes down at least the oaks faster than Eikthyr.

[lone rampart]

Yeah I'd be pissed off too 🤣

[tacit crystal]

Stone axe can cut ash trees.

[steel mica]

I believe you need bm axe minimum but jotun bane will work too

[fossil delta]

Bronze.

[steel mica]

w h a t

[fossil delta]

For Oak and birch?

[steel mica]

for oak and birch you need bronze

[lone rampart]

ash trees - the burned trees in Ashlands?

[steel mica]

at minimum

[tacit crystal]

Ash trees require stone axe at minimum.

[fossil delta]

Oh, ashlands, I know the BM axe works.

[steel mica]

a stone axe cant even dent an oak or birch

but can cut down ancient burnt trees 😭

[tacit crystal]

Yep, but can cut ash wood.

[fossil delta]

Why would I go into Ashlands with anything less than the BM axe?

[lone rampart]

stone axe you can craft on the go

no work bench required

[fossil delta]

You have to have the BM axe in Mistlands.

[gray sand]

Stone axe is the one axe I never make 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve never tried but getting stone portals early doesn’t seem like too much of a bad idea

[lone rampart]

Same, I always skip straight to flint

[gray sand]

Yup

[timber marsh]

arnt they half rotted anyways

[tacit crystal]

I'm the opposite. 👀

[fossil delta]

They break apart before turning to coal. You just get more if you cut the tree down yourself.

Nice to know that I can still use my silver battle axe on Ash trees, though. I probably never will, but...

[steel mica]

TROLLL

YES SIR

[fossil delta]

I hope you can get some tin and copper as well.

[steel mica]

I already got pass bronze I just need tons of wood for iron neext

and building materials

[fossil delta]

I always get more tin and copper. Never sure how many cauldrons and copper light fixtures I will put up. Especially since I prefer their light over anything else.

[steel mica]

I plan to build major bases on every biome but I gotta get to endgame first so I can use every material available
