I'm no longer into doing that much building in a play through. I do turn a lot of towers into mini bases, though.

[silk token]

(spawn into the world) “quick! gotta start training my axe skill!”😂

[fossil delta]

Skills. One for cutting down trees, the other for killing stuff.

[silk token]

thats how you get 60 axe by mountains, you diligently axe things

also just enough spear skill to 2-shot drakes

[fossil delta]

I prefer bow and fire arrows. Just something about watching them flying around while burning. Satisfying.

[steel mica]

The trolls with the logs are so much devastating compared to the regular one

[indigo beacon]

i skip axes until black metal axe, before that i just go minecraft steve style

[timber marsh]

oooh free lox meat delivery

[maiden tartan]

To be fair

They are using a whole tree as a bat

[fossil delta]

I used to love using them to get Guck out of the swamp trees too. Now, with Abominations, doing that doesn't matter as much as it used to. To me, anyways.

[keen sierra]

damn, i got fishing rod without meeting trader guy

[fossil delta]

Its long been possible to find them in mountain caves, by the rarely occurring lakes in them. Did you find it some where else?

[keen sierra]

uhhhh...... my giant barley harvest did gave me 1,542 barleys 😅

i'm in modded run btw

[lone rampart]

best get millin'!

@sly gust may be a bot

[tacit crystal]

If you have proof for your claim you can send it via DM to @dusky pivot

[paper marsh]

Just discovered that blob bombs have been added. At a glance, they look friggin awesome

[subtle scaffold]

They are! Just few words of warning

They do not spawn allied to you

Now I'm unsure if they spawn as their own faction but I imagine they just spawn as their respective factions

[paper marsh]

No need for them to be allied

As long as they'll make my opponents weak to fire 😈

[subtle scaffold]

So slime won't attack undead I think?

I haven't messed around with em much

[paper marsh]

I imagine they'll get killed pretty quick 9 times out of 10

[subtle scaffold]

I am a big fan of the normal bombs too tbf, just kinda wish we had more of em they're Hella fun

[paper marsh]

I never really used the normal bombs, maybe I should

The poison ones just look weak to me, and I guess I forget about bombs in mistlands

[subtle scaffold]

They honestly are

They're fun but the biome you get them in they don't hurt anything in it

Mountain it's fairly useful, plains a little less so

Ive always wished for a way to turn surtling cores into fire bombs

Regardless, that's me being a pyromaniac rather than something the game needs

[paper marsh]

Ever try throwing them on a campfire?

[subtle scaffold]

I'm aware, I don't like to cheese tho tbh

Idm if someone does, I just didnt find it fun for me to do

[paper marsh]

Do they do a lot of damage? I did it like once at my base years ago

I'm strongly anti-cheese myself, which is one of the reason I never really used poison bombs. Felt like their only good use was killing things in frost caves without having to actually fight

[subtle scaffold]

Ah I usually go for an archery build with a knife as a secondary

It's the only real aoe I can get if I don't spec into magic or swords

[paper marsh]

Knives are so fun

[subtle scaffold]

(I like to do a high risk high reward playstyle with double or trip Stam foods)

[paper marsh]

Bows I absolutely despise

[subtle scaffold]

I do think they need to be nerfed at higher levels

[paper marsh]

Definitely yeah

[wintry valve]

blobs dont attack undead because they are undead

[subtle scaffold]

Tbh the biggest thing I say needs nerfed is the back stab mod

[paper marsh]

Biggest things I think needs nerfs are Bows, Atgeirs, and Magic

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah I meant the back stab mod on bows

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah figured as much

[wintry valve]

Having played with magic in the ashland, I do not agree that it needs to be nerfed.

[paper marsh]

But I suppose it isn't too necessary to nerf all that with the nature of the game. Not too hard for people to avoid those things if they want more of a challenge

[subtle scaffold]

Oh yeah

[paper marsh]

The skill needed to kill ashlands boss with or without magic just doesn't feel comparable to me (granted its been a while since I've fought him)

Also being able to spam shields that can tank infinite amounts of damage is just nuts

[subtle scaffold]

I'm not too big on magic so I don't have an opinion on it

[paper marsh]

The staff of protection is the big OP thing about magic. The rest is kinda dependent on the situation, but generally pretty strong

[subtle scaffold]

Tbh I don't think magic is broken more so than that specific wand is a lil overtuned

[paper marsh]

tbh I think I just find range to be broken. Bows and magic do hella damage without ever putting yourself in the path of danger

[wintry valve]

My understanding is that magic needs a lot of sacrifices to be workable, resulting in the player having to pay extra attention to what is going on. I mean, moreso than usual. Its kind of a hard mode that is high rewards.

[paper marsh]

I highly disagree, though I do understand that viewpoint

[wintry valve]

Maybe I just dont "get" magic, but I am hella more destructive with regular weapons.

and generally safer too

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah I was gonna mention I do far more damage on melee than ranged in most my runs

Ranged is just an insanely good opener

[wintry valve]

this being said, I never tried dundr

[subtle scaffold]

Shoot em twice with the back stab bonus dropping em to half, then finish them with dodging and knives

[paper marsh]

Magic is only really dangerous if you're trying to go like full mage (triple eitr food, all mage robes) but then deciding to do the un-mage like thing of fighting in close combat. In which case you can definitely get rolled if you're not aware and have good reflexes

But if you just stay at range, or throw a health food in there, or use some decent armor (since mage armor doesn't give particularly high buffs anyways) magic feels so safe to me

[wintry valve]

as for atgeirs... I wonder if they are really that op

I suppose that when the update drops, ill make an atgeir playthrough

[paper marsh]

Personally I do like to go something like H/S/E food, to go close combat brawling like usual but then getting to complement that with a fireball or some ice shards here or there

[subtle scaffold]

The secondary attack is

To put it lightly you can do stuff like permanently stagger a troll

[paper marsh]

Secondary attack on atgeir knockbacks and staggers so much that no melee enemy can ever get near you. Plus it does hella damage especially with being able to stagger

[subtle scaffold]

Oh yeah

[wintry valve]

well of course you can, troll are exploded by piercing damage. Thats what atgeirs do

[subtle scaffold]

That's the thing

[wintry valve]

I can stunlock a troll with a spear too

[subtle scaffold]

No other pierce damage does this at a level 1 bronze

[paper marsh]

Yeah stunlocking a troll with a bronze spear doesn't sound right. Unless you have like unnaturally high spear skill

[subtle scaffold]

I Mean yeah the higher up you go absolutely, atgeirs just do em the moment you unlock em

[paper marsh]

Though tbf I do tend to play on hard/vhard, but even on normal I don't think bronze reaches true stunlock

[wintry valve]

Well again, trolls are super weak to piercing. Thats hardly a measure of how powerful atgeirs are.

oh! I keep forgetting that the mimmisnarf does lightning. I keep thinking it does frost

thats neat actually

[subtle scaffold]

I mean eh I just used it as one example, I'd need to go into the numbers to bring out everything but off the top of my head really good reach ontop of high block force and a secondary attack that invalidates the main point of swords

Why go sword and shield when ategir does it's job better

[paper marsh]

Also for some reason atgeirs only have -5% speed penalty (compared to something like battleaxe with -20% or sword+shield at -10%), and have great block/parry

So it's not like its lacking in other respects

[subtle scaffold]

Tbh the biggest thing going against atgeir

Is the fact it's piercing because most weapons do

[paper marsh]

That gets partially circumvented in mistlands tho

[subtle scaffold]

Ngl for a melee weapon ategir is almost perfect lmao

[wintry valve]

oh! and the mimmisnarf sounds easy to make too

wait no, eitr is hell to get at first, nvm that

[paper marsh]

I do think spears are hella hated on despite how good they are. Seriously undervalued

[wintry valve]

anyway, about stagger, yall should try battleaxes

[paper marsh]

Even if the OP bow and atgeir outshine them

I like battleaxes except for the fact that the speed penalty is just too godamn much. I just feel dead in the water

May not be as bad since recent updates adding ways to get more movement speed and removing stamina usage on parry, but ugh it just doesn't feel right to me

[wintry valve]

Its the kind of weapon you need to learn when to put away

You whip it out only when its time to give your opinion on things

[subtle scaffold]

The battle axes are cool

Just too slow for my taste

Typically I only like them in a group setting where we all agree to focus on certain roles and adventure together

Because they are fun on the tank build

[wintry valve]

Anyway my point is that the secondary attack on them is really quick and does a lot of stagger.

[tacit crystal]

The ms penalty was lowered a bit, from -20% to -15% in recent update.

[paper marsh]

Hmmm, quite nice. Might have to try them again and see how it feels

[tacit crystal]

-10% for 2h weapons overall would be more balanced IMO.
-# Meaning 2h swords, battleaxes and atgeirs.

[paper marsh]

I like fist weapons. It's cool we got a new one, but until we get one in Deep North they won't feel super viable for a full run

Even though they can put in work on seekers

[subtle scaffold]

I like them but yeah we need more variants in general

I would love to get iron cestus gauntlets, especially because I want some of the fist weapons to stay blunt?

Also, adore the bear sets and the fact they have an upgraded version in the plains

[wintry valve]

brace for polar bear set

[subtle scaffold]

Although admittedly, they did make the troll and bronze sets both a bit obsolete

[tacit crystal]

Also 2 new battleaxes after mountains!

[subtle scaffold]

And they are fun

[paper marsh]

I only recently started playing again so still getting accustomed to everything since like, before bog witch.

The bear sets look cool, are they kinda hard to get though? From what I hear at least viles are pretty rare?

[subtle scaffold]

It's not that viles are rare per say more than

[paper marsh]

That you need 10ish of them?

[subtle scaffold]

You won't find them unless you specifically look for them?

[tacit crystal]

Viles are night spawns.

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah

Like when I went out to hunt them I ran into them often enough

But just exploring plains in general?

I ran into like one

[tacit crystal]

Most people avoid going around places during night too.

Especially mountains during night can be brutal.

[wintry valve]

Wolf says hi

[paper marsh]

I did see a vile once while sailing by plains

[subtle scaffold]

But yeah viles are essentially

The exact same as bears but bigger and stronger

Same parry and dodge timings, same attacks

So they aren't hard to kill

[tacit crystal]

They are cool IMO. They have scary voices.

[wintry valve]

They do hit HARD and they tend to have a bunch of little dudes around.

[subtle scaffold]

Oh I like them

[nocturne wolf]

They die very fast to silver sword

[wintry valve]

viles?

[tacit crystal]

They resist all physical damage tho, but spirit damage melts.

[subtle scaffold]

Oh yeah. Silver anything really

[wintry valve]

Viles arent subject to spirit damage.

[subtle scaffold]

They burn though

Because undead

[wintry valve]

oh... they do... why did I think otherwise?

[tacit crystal]

They are weak against it, meaning they take 1,5x damage.

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword has the highest spirit damage. It does more damage than mistwalker against charred.

[subtle scaffold]

Huh neat didn't know that

I meant more so any silver weapon is good, sword is best in that case but ye

[tacit crystal]

Charred are weak against spirit.

Valkyries too.

[wintry valve]

I like mistwalker cuz of the frost

[paper marsh]

high bow skill silver arrows could probably outdo it

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah and be hella expensive in the process

[wintry valve]

I dont think I ever made a silver sword. Ill have to try at some point.

[paper marsh]

Yea. Another reason I don’t like bows

You have to pay to use them

[nocturne wolf]

20 spirit per arrow is very low

[subtle scaffold]

Generally speaking I don't find most metal arrows to be worth it

[tacit crystal]

Silver arrows are fine.

[nocturne wolf]

I think it would be better if instead of being consumables each arrow item had 100 durability and could be repaired

[subtle scaffold]

Oh they are don't get me wrong

It's not like silver is used too much outside of mountains

They are the only metal arrows that's sort of okay if you really want the spirit damage

[wintry valve]

id like to point out that while silver arrows "only" do 20 spirit, its added to whatever you bow does. That makes 40 for spinesnap.

[subtle scaffold]

But in general, needle and elemental existing makes many of the metal ones like better to avoid

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, ending up quite plentiful and only like Himminafl requires it after mountain era.

[subtle scaffold]

I'd rather die than make bronze or iron ones tho.

[paper marsh]

True, I may be exaggerating how fast bows fire or how slow swords attack. I don't tend to use either

Seems reasonable to me that bows would attack twice as fast which would bring them in the same ballpark, but could be off

[subtle scaffold]

Bronze because mining copper is a chore

[wintry valve]

make fire arrows then

[subtle scaffold]

And iron... Yeah I don't need to speak.

[wintry valve]

iron is easy to get tho so you do need to speak about that

[tacit crystal]

You never have enough iron tho.

[subtle scaffold]

Iron is used in EVERYTHING

Like when was the last time you had an excess of iron?

[wintry valve]

Iron is easy to get. Like. hella easy

In my last game. I have an iron chest filled with it.

[nocturne wolf]

You only need five iron for a stack of arrows

[subtle scaffold]

Look, yes with my mountain tier gear it's very easy to go to the swamp, find a crypt, one shot everything and mine

But it's just like

So slow to do all that while sailing

[wintry valve]

This being said, I like the swamps so getting iron is basically just an excuse for me to go into it.

[subtle scaffold]

Oh I hate em

I like being able to run around

Swamp is like designed to be anti speed

[wintry valve]

Also I made my base in the plains that is surrounded by a swamp that is absolutely filled with crypts. I didnt even loot them all.

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp usually has space for that

[subtle scaffold]

Lots of water

[nocturne wolf]

You can often jump over or around it

[subtle scaffold]

Which again, nothing wrong with swamp

[tacit crystal]

Swamp enjoyers.

[karmic hill]

Should I be using bear or Troll armour as I start looking into killing the elder and visiting the swamp

[subtle scaffold]

Swamp is well designed in this game compared to many others

But that doesn't change the fact it's a swamp

[tacit crystal]

It depends on your preferences. And also which hides you have more.

[subtle scaffold]

The same way people don't like ice levels in platformers, you can design them well, don't mean they will be fun

[subtle scaffold]

Personally I am a heavy advocate of bear

The regen bonuses are.. Really good

[karmic hill]

I've found more bears than I have trolls so that is probably a good thing

[paper marsh]

bear is high risk high reward, troll is better if you're unsure in your ability to dodge and parry

[nocturne wolf]

If you want the best defence without slowing yourself, use two bear armor pieces with a bronze helmet

[subtle scaffold]

I do need to ask

The weakness to dmg, does it effect parrying?

Because I swear it feels like it doesnt

[rain flare]

Or just want to avoid a fight in the first place 😅

[nocturne wolf]

Blocking is calculated before damage modifiers and worn armor

[tacit crystal]

Or troll hood to look like Skeletor.

[subtle scaffold]

Okay yeah thats why

Using the paws with that armor set I swear I felt unstoppable as long as I parry

[rain flare]

Now I have to dress up with a troll stave and skelly summon skull

[tacit crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/lmfao-lmao-laughing-laughing-hysterically-laughing-and-crying-gif-17366703318476009053

[rain flare]

Too bad I can’t dual wield em

[wintry valve]

I wish we could "update" older armor sets with advanced materials. I would totally use troll set for longer if I could upgrade it a bit more.

[subtle scaffold]

Had a friend use it all the way up to plains and was still our lowest death player

[paper marsh]

I want to try bear/vile armor, but have grown too attached to OP root harnesk

[nocturne wolf]

Dual wield neck summon when??

[subtle scaffold]

Oh bear gives harnesk a run for it's money

You'll understand once you get the Stam and health regen

[wintry valve]

harnesk give 15 bow skill

[rain flare]

Bear armor with any of the trinkets is very good
I love using the bronze amulet for the insane damage output

parry attack - dodge - dodge - dodge
Pop adrenaline boost rinse and repeat until everything is dead 😂

[subtle scaffold]

The full set does

[nocturne wolf]

The full set has the bonus, not the harnesk

[subtle scaffold]

The chest piece alone gives pierce resist

[wintry valve]

the root armor, then

[subtle scaffold]

I won't lie

[wintry valve]

I mean why wouldnt I use the entire thing?

[subtle scaffold]

I didn't like most the trinkets

[paper marsh]

I'm afraid of the health regen not helping when my permadeath run ends from a 300+ dmg spear coming at me from out of nowhere in Plains 😓

[subtle scaffold]

The adrenaline they need is, really high most the time

[nocturne wolf]

Because you might want to combine the pierce resistance with effects from other armor pieces?

[subtle scaffold]

Plains is the only place harnesk is like uncontestable

[rain flare]

True - my go to is the amulet for that very reason

[wintry valve]

I want my bow skill

[paper marsh]

I mean similar story for swamp or mistlands, though at least in mistlands there's nothing sneakily shooting at me

[rain flare]

Shoot them before they shoot you

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands has a lot of pierce too it’s very good against fader

[rain flare]

Gjall emerges from the fog

Burbles menacingly so we can hear it coming from 3 miles away 😂

[tacit crystal]

IMHO pierce resistance should be property gained from set bonus from Root armor set, not Harnesk only.

[paper marsh]

I'm so used to mixing armor for benefits (helmet for armor, legs for speed, chest for resistance). Giving in to a full set feels difficult

But I kinda wanna become a bear armor lover. Already on my way to shedding meta armor by restricting myself from using elemental resist potions, so I have to for example go full fenris if I want fire resist in yag fight

[nocturne wolf]

It’s good for individual pieces to have unique effects, it just needs to be weaker

Extra armor against pierce would fit in progression better than any % damage reduction

[paper marsh]

The whole resistance and weakness system is just broken

I genuinely feel like Valheim could be so much more engaging in that respect.

Popping on one piece of armor or chugging a bottle of blue goo should not give you 50-75% resist
Popping a bottle of wine should not make the wood on your chest suddenly resistant to fire

Maybe like 10-25% could be acceptable

Saving higher resist like 50% for if you really spec into something with a full armor set or something

I shall head to bed now. Nighty night fellow vikings

[nocturne wolf]

A lot of enemies could be changed to use the new slightly weak and slightly resistant modifiers

[tacit crystal]

Maybe some bosses even getting slight resistance for pierce instead of resistance.

[subtle scaffold]

I mean mistlands I don't take much dmg

The nice thing about the vile one set

Is you can use it's normal weapon

Or you can go blackmetal buckler and porcupine

[nocturne wolf]

There is no black metal buckler

[subtle scaffold]

What was it

[nocturne wolf]

A shield

[subtle scaffold]

The medium shield, you can still parry

Yeah I just say Buckler/Tower since AFAIK there is no tier with all 3?

I could be wrong tho

[subtle scaffold]

The only one outside of blackforest I had some good use out of was Iron Buckler

But that also had me go a tank build

Well and the serpent trinket, that one is funny because you pop it with Eik and just swim the entire ocean more or less

[nocturne wolf]

Swamp has all three, with two tower shields

[subtle scaffold]

Two?

Damn didn't expect that

[nocturne wolf]

Iron tower shield and serpent scale shield

[subtle scaffold]

Ah

[nocturne wolf]

Iron tower shield is useless because of the serpent one though

It doesn’t do anything better

[subtle scaffold]

Yup

Serpant just needs you to jump behind the items

Or drag them to the shore

The latter is VERY fun to do but more time consuming

[exotic silo]

Serpent kinda need u to mine leviathan for the harpoon yeah.

[subtle scaffold]

You can in theory kill the serpant and jump in immediately

[exotic silo]

Otherwise the scales sink into the ocean

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need the harpoon, just kill them close to land

[subtle scaffold]

Split second to grab the scales

I've manage it when I was too lazy

But it's not super consistent

Especially because you will need to empty inventory weight from how heavy the meat is

Otherwise might not pick em up

[exotic silo]

Harpoon cheeses the hunt.

[subtle scaffold]

Harpoon takes more skill so I wouldn't call it a cheese

Stamina management while you try to beach them

Keeping it tethered

Preparing with meads

[exotic silo]

U don't need to beach them. Just bring them close to shore and prevent them from running away.

Beaching takes too much effort.

[subtle scaffold]

I mean yes, but still

Realistically it's easier to hit a few arrows then jump attack

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t need a harpoon for that

[subtle scaffold]

Since the attack still goes through while in the air

[exotic silo]

U do need harpoon to prevent them from runnin away at low health.

Unless ai is bugged and they curl on themselves.

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve never noticed serpents try that

[exotic silo]

U prolly outdamage them by quite a lot 😂

Cuz the first time I met serpent, I only have finebow and bronze spear. Then it swam away after my ship almost sink. 😂

[nocturne wolf]

Black forest equipment is what they’re balanced for

[exotic silo]

Try it when u meet another serpent.. Get them to like.. Around 20% hp.. They'll try to swim away.

[knotty pendant]

Anyone got a up-to-date beginner guide.

I played ages ago but only got back into valheim. And god i suck now 😄 i don't know where to start. I've been following the raven, but i've been trying to find a clearing to start a small house on for a base

[subtle scaffold]

There is a YouTube series out there that does a Biome by Biome guide, heavily recommend that one

I can't remember what it's name was sadly

[knotty pendant]

I think i only need the bare bone basics tbh. i think once im back into the grove it'll come to me. I don't need a 'walkthrough' so to say 🙂 but thanks I'll try and find one 🙂 all the ones i seen are from last year or 2 years ago. theres a few from 5 month ago but im sure there have ben updates since

I would boot up now but im waiting on a call 🙂

[subtle scaffold]

It's not a walk through, just general small tips curated to each biome. They just split the videos to be per biome

Found their name, NickrawCliffe

[knotty pendant]

ahhh

[subtle scaffold]

Ah also my bad, seems the series starts from swamp and up

So no begginer tips sadly

[nocturne wolf]

I have a serpent now that I’ve set to 1 health (0.25%) and it’s still not fleeing

How low does it need to be

Maybe your serpent left because it was day?

[exotic silo]

Tbh idk the exact amount. All I know based on my experience is that they'll try to flee at low hp.

[exotic silo]

It was daytime. But it's not the night turn to day thing.

[merry pebble]

They swim away when they didn't get to attack in a while 🙂 that Is often enough time to get them to low hp.

[dim mist]

Tips on finding rocky?

[tacit crystal]

At least 1000m from center, can be found in first 4 biomes, but due to altitude requirements it's easier to find in meadows and black forest.
Look for smoother looking stone.

[dim mist]

Can they spawn in the area we already explored? Or is it has to be unexplored?

[tacit crystal]

The latter.

[dim mist]

Dang this is gonna be tougher than golems trophy 😂 Thanks tho

[tacit crystal]

Yeah it's quite rare.

[exotic silo]

Ooohhh.. So that's what happened. 😯

[vernal karma]

im confuxed, my 2 star boar was happy in his 4x4 house, how he's not, after i introduced a 0 star, now the 0 star is happy but not the 2 star. neither are tamed yet, trying.

surely the house is big enough right. it's even got a roof, and they got food.

[merry pebble]

Go inside of their enclosure and check if you get fire effect anywhere, and also check there are no torches or scones, telhey don't give fire effect but still affect boars.

[echo wind]

How can they be happy if they're not tamed?

[vernal karma]

happy as in being tamed

[vernal karma]

oh they do need fire to be tamed? i did have a fire for a while though. but i guess the one of them never noticed? 😄

[echo wind]

Ah, acclimatizing. Make sure they have food and aren't scared by your presence.

[vernal karma]

not my pressence ,they have food

[echo wind]

No they get scared of fire (until tame)

[merry pebble]

Nono, the can't have any fire

[vernal karma]

they eat just about any non-meat thing right? including berries and glowing shrooms?

[vernal karma]

oh!

[echo wind]

Not the glowing shrooms

Berries, yes, normal mushrooms, yes

[vernal karma]

ok

i was on the fence with glowshroons so i used strawberries too

[serene flower]

valheim

[echo wind]

So... what's their status? Scared? Does it have a red or yellow marker above its head?

[pliant hatch]

Could also be that there's a fire nearby.

[serene flower]

i think torches make them scared too

and mobs around them too

[vernal karma]

@echo wind @merry pebble it was the campfire it seems. funny that it afected only 1 of them for so long, i waited a whole night.

[vernal karma]

as long as they are out of sight, no sound i make disturbs them.

can even hit the walls of their house

chop trees that fall on the house

[supple cipher]

hello dies anyone speak German? My English is very good i need Help

[paper marsh]

what do you need help with?

[lone rampart]

Ever find yourself just vibrating with pent-up Viking energy because you’re stuck at work instead of playing Valheim?
…I don’t even have a specific project in mind but still!

[light moat]

All the time lol

[keen sierra]

Hello!

another nice day, isn't is it?

[heady parcel]

Anyone ever tried spamming queen with frost blobs? I'm wondering how many it would take...

I've seen some 40 trolls vs queen videos, but not this..

[nocturne wolf]

They only have 50 health, even with their pierce resistance they will die fast

[heady parcel]

Yeah I figure massive numbers would be the only way, but with aoe and lots of adds I'm thinking they'll get destroyed mostly before they get to do any good

I'm tempted to go in on a testing world and see how it goes

[paper marsh]

You'd need a mod or something to make them attack her, wouldn't you? Mobs won't attack bosses except maybe Dvergr

[heady parcel]

The bomb mobs do actually attack bosses

I threw some on Yaggy, they didn't last two seconds though

[paper marsh]

interesting

[heady parcel]

He's an aoe powerhouse

[paper marsh]

Once you get magic I imagine tar blobs would be pretty goated for boss fights

[heady parcel]

ohyeah growths, didn't even think about them. Not the most common trophy tho

[keen sierra]

just letting y'all know, i'm planning on important sailing jorney

[nocturne wolf]

Tar blob bomb against fader could make him damage himself

fissure aoes don’t get assigned an owner, the only thing that stops them from damaging fader is his immunity against spirit and fire

I’ll need to test this later

[paper marsh]

Hmmmmmm interesting

[keen sierra]

interesting

[nocturne wolf]

You can already use water to make him vulnerable to fire too

[paper marsh]

I guess with a handful of tar blobs and the vile bear armor, staff of embers would become even more OP

[nocturne wolf]

Staff of fracturing too, it has very high fire damage

[heady parcel]

I hate growths. I tend to get complacent around them and they roflstomp my stupid behind

[paper marsh]

I'm excited about all the opportunities since I last played. Tar bombs, speed potions, variety of adrenaline relics and new armor, some good stuff to try out

Feasts are pretty cool too

[keen sierra]

did thrinkets was added or smth like this?

[merry pebble]

Trinkets were added in the last update

[keen sierra]

oh, i def will check wiki :)

[paper marsh]

Are damage buffs additive? Like is +10% damage from Fader power +20% pierce damage from vile bear set = my spear does 30% more damage than normal?

[heady parcel]

Ohhh yeah fire vulnerability from tarred. Now tar blobs + bilge bombs vs queeny!

(because I don't do magic)

I only have ONE growth trophy though, so whatever

[nocturne wolf]

They will multiply each other

[keen sierra]

oh, i feel like crystal heart will do good help

[tacit crystal]

You might mean Yagluth that grants the +10% damage.

[paper marsh]

you rite

[paper marsh]

So like +32% dmg?

Very nice

[keen sierra]

does crystal heart any good?

[paper marsh]

It looks very good. Resistances are so good, especially if you don't already have resist from wearing root harnesk. Could even overide weakness of bear set

But... I imagine it takes forever to build that adrenaline, so not great uptime

[tacit crystal]

The buffs are nice, but IMO adrenaline cost is quite high.

[keen sierra]

oh, what is adrenalines?

[paper marsh]

Haven't tried it yet but I'm liking the look of the parry trinket. High uptime, will let me actually parry anything on hard mode

[tacit crystal]

Adrenaline is what you gain when you wear trinkets.

[heady parcel]

Trinkets are too unreliable to count on as other than a nice, occasional buff. I find that most of the time they trigger when I kill the last enemy...

[tacit crystal]

It builds up until the limit and activates the trinket bonus.

[keen sierra]

oh, and what will happen if i use the power fo bonemass and crystal heart at same time?

[paper marsh]

When you hit enemies, parry enemies, dodge attacks, etc. you build up adrenaline.

You need to reach 80 adrenaline to activate crystal heart for 50 seconds

Generally hitting an enemy gives like 1-2 adrenaline per hit, so its slow gains

[tacit crystal]

Nothing, they don't stack.

[keen sierra]

Sad. i will check different trinkets

[nocturne wolf]

Iron brooch is quite popular from what I’ve seen here

[keen sierra]

HIGH DEFESNE and health bonus

[tacit crystal]

I have found 4 trinkets very useful: bronze pendant, iron brooch, nimble anklet and resounding shackle.

Bracelets of brave is quite nice too.

[paper marsh]

When I first saw trinkets it looked absolutely nuts to me that some of them gave like +100hp, stamina, or eitr

Then I realized they don't give max hp, just regenrate 100 hp one time

[heady parcel]

Iron brooch or either stamina trinket is what I use. And of those I tend to go for stamina, since you only rarely need a health surge but a stamina surge is nearly always welcome in a fight.

[paper marsh]

Iron brooch looks pretty nuts for like, pre-plains. 20 armor is a lot

Generally most the ones requiring a lot of adrenaline / have short duration just don't feel worth

[keen sierra]

Oh, resounding shackle look like helpful trinket for fishing though.

[paper marsh]

25% stamina regen looks kinda doo doo to me. Assuming you have rested that's only like a 12.5% increase in regeneration

[tacit crystal]

It's basically same bonus as lingering stamina mead. It's very nice.

[paper marsh]

I hope to get the wolf sight trinket. Feel like it would be strong against Moder if you can proc it

[heady parcel]

I have settled for Resounding Shackle as my go-to standard trinket. It simply fits my playstyle well, too often I pull too much aggro and end up on a defensive run with low stamina, getting that stamina rush after a few dodges is extremely helpful. The extra damage from the sword is a nice little extra.

[tacit crystal]

Same, but axes for me.

[paper marsh]

idk I feel like stamina is not as required anymore. With parries not taking stamina I feel like I could get by on 0.5 or 0 stamina foods

[heady parcel]

Also, running home through Mistlands, at night, with a broken bow was a scary experience. Never seen so many gjalls in one hour as this time..

[paper marsh]

2-3 spear throws to the udders and they're toast

1 if you get backstab

[heady parcel]

Don't use spears, haven't carried one since the flint age

[gray sand]

Spears my beloved.

[keen sierra]

very well, JOURNEY BEGIN!

[paper marsh]

Spears just feel better to me than bows

[keen sierra]

what if you throw spear and miss?

[paper marsh]

Get to smoothly switch between melee and ranged, and don't have to worry about being batshit OP

[gray sand]

The only spear that "feels short" to me honestly is the Ashlands one.
It's the only biome where I can parry something and not hit them immediately.

[gray sand]

Skill issue.

[heady parcel]

For one thing, in mistlands getting to pick it up again after a throw is not a given

[paper marsh]

Then you go pick it up? And throw again or go melee

[keen sierra]

just asking, nothing else

[nocturne wolf]

They all have the same hitbox. Enemies there might take more knockback than you’re used to?

[paper marsh]

I usually don't miss spears but when I do they just land right next to the enemy so I can start meleeing. Only place where they'll fly far is mountains, which is why in mountains I do take care to not throw them in a bad spot

[heady parcel]

Mistlands spires be like "am I a joke to you?" 😄

[gray sand]

This is my assumption tbh, I don't think they changed the spear at all.

-# Although the model for Splintnir is definitely longer than other spears.

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe I should find the weight of each enemy, it’s what determines how far they are knocked and I think it’s used in harpoon stamina cost too

I can’t do it right now I might have time tomorrow

[heady parcel]

My only real gripe with spears is that for regular attacks they don't have a combo, that bugs me a lot. Early game they're THE way to get those deer hides and trophies

And feathers

[iron forum]

brand new 0 hours to valheim

do I just blindly start playing

[keen sierra]

Go on if you want

[heady parcel]

And not being able to hit necks on even ground has pissed me off so much in the past, I guess that was fixed with call to arms though

[gray sand]

Yes.

[keen sierra]

it will be fun journey :)

[iron forum]

alr bet

[keen sierra]

don't mind if i watch too?

[iron forum]

it's fall break and I needed another game to put like 100 hours into this week while I have some free time

[keen sierra]

just it will be interesting to watch

[iron forum]

suspicious innit

[keen sierra]

no no no no, i love first blind playthrough on various games

[iron forum]

ah

yea I was hoping to find someone that was brand new too to start a world with

but I feel like if people are in a valheim discord then they aren't beginners

[keen sierra]

mostly correct. i'm veteran i think

i think i played somewhat after valheim released and got game month later

[paper marsh]

Think you might be wrong on that one. If you go to #1024264966712340510 and search "new player" there's a good amount of posts popping up

The game is definitely better experienced solo or with other new players on your first playthrough, imo.

I ran through the game first time with a veteran and regret it

[keen sierra]

look like

look like i arrived my place

An important place

oh indeed it did

i sailed a long way and i finally did arrived it

[keen sierra]

Hey, i arrived a important place and it seemed it;s most interesting place

WAIT A SECOND

damn it

[keen sierra]

clothing merchant weren't there bc i accidentally got other merchant when sailing on way to mountain island T_T

[heady parcel]

Queen has poison attacks, right?

[lone rampart]

Oh yes

[heady parcel]

No-portals run, trying to pack my ship with EVERYTHING I'll need, because it's a long bloody way to sail back for a damn mead or whatever...

109 bile bombs, hoah, BURN you big mama-bug!

[paper marsh]

First the mother of dragons, now the mother of bugs

What’s next, you’re gonna kill the mother of snowmen in the deep north?

[lone rampart]

I should decorate my cubicle to look like a longship.

You forgot the daddy of dragons

[gray sand]

She-mir.

[keen sierra]

did "winter child" just cause world to turn from palace to chao and overriden by monster....?

[wintry valve]

final boss in deep north
the cousin

[lone rampart]

restless cubicle pacing What oh what shall I do upon my return to the 10th realm tonight? Build? Explore? Replenish the arrows the bf keeps firing indiscriminately?

[gray sand]

Replace bf with one who doesn't fire your arrows 😉👍

[lone rampart]

Nooo he’s mostly good and also I can hide behind him and do magic 🪄

[maiden tartan]

Open gates to Valhalla by shooting a target with 200 fire arrows

[fossil delta]

Not enough time to do all of the above?

[lone rampart]

Nah I’m old and stressful job is stressful; I usually fall asleep before I can do too much

[fossil delta]

I am so glad I was able to retire at 53. Just wish my wife would.

[rugged bridge]

Speaking of Valhalla, hopefully modders make it have some nice and cool content to play through

Cause the devs probably won't

[tacit crystal]

And I'm never able to. 🥲

[lone rampart]

Lucky! I still have 10 more years to get there

[fossil delta]

Thats what my wife is waiting for. Max retirement benefits. Probably for the best to do that.

[lone rampart]

Everyone’s situation is different. If you’re financially able to wait, by all means. But reduced money is better than zero money

[chrome badge]

I'm unsure what you're saying here, you think the devs should develop Valhalla?

[gray sand]

-# I retired at 30.

I MEAN YES, WORK IS HORRIBLE.

[fossil delta]

I'd be kind of shocked if they don't. Meaning modders. The devs never said they would.

[rugged bridge]

Yes, they should make it more than a picture place or a cutscene or something like that

But they likely won't

[lone rampart]

Considering the game is over once you reach Valhalla…

[rugged bridge]

So all hope goes to the modders, it's like Skyrim all over again lol

[chrome badge]

A bit cynical, but I'm unsure why it'd even be necessary to be fair.

[gray sand]

Hope? No. 😁

[fossil delta]

Not a bad thing. Those modders have done incredible work.

[chrome badge]

Modders are too busy making anime girl models and backpack mods.

[rugged bridge]

Definitely

[gray sand]

As it should be.

[rugged bridge]

Good, they solved the blasphemed inventory problem that the devs haven't yet lol

But they made a post about it so credit for acknowledging it finally

[lone rampart]

Next up: anime girl backpacks. They cling to you like a spider monkey! 🤣

[gray sand]

The self-inflicted problem people can't admit they self-inflicted?

[wintry valve]

Several people are typing...

[gray sand]

Carries hammer, hoe, cultivator, pickaxe, 4 weapons, and 5 foods everywhere for no reason. "I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE AND IT ISN'T MY FAULT AT ALL, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE GAME."

[chrome badge]

Solved is a bit of a jump, the game isn't finished yet, so the mods just took away from the pile of feedback surrounding inventory.

[rugged bridge]

Cynical? Perhaps, they work on valheim mostly through their own vision, additions to biomes and additional content isn't the kind of feedback I expect them to ever take. Never said it was necessary though, just said they should. Why? Because it would be fun

[heady parcel]

Ppl coming from WoW (or whatever MMO) where you can carry half the average load of an ocean going bulk carrier

[wintry valve]

This reminds me of resident evil 5, where when I would join a game with only a handgun and a rifle, my rando partner would always have their entire inventory filled with guns so they couldnt pick any ammo for them.

[lone rampart]

You never know when you’ll need to terraform something…then you need the cultivator to put the grass back 😹

[gray sand]

Yup.

[chrome badge]

Well, luckily Valheim is fun already.

[rugged bridge]

I mean it's already proven to be a problem as seen through so many complaints, it's heavily disliked, which means it should be changed, it's as simple as that

[gray sand]

Hard disagree.

[rugged bridge]

Good thing I didn't come for anyone's agreement

[wintry valve]

I just wish armor didnt take "space". Im wearing it, not "activating" it in my backpack.

[fossil delta]

Valheim couldn't possibly already be fun. I have over 5,000 hours playing it because of how dreadfully boring it is.

[rugged bridge]

Yeah, and this is why dedicated inventory slots is the second most popular mod lol

[wintry valve]

This being said. In no way this stops me from playing this game. I just make a triage of what I really need or want.

[rugged bridge]

On vortex at least (or nexus for those who aren't aware of the brand rename)

[tacit crystal]

-# Hanging in with my almost 3,3k and still figuring it out...

[chrome badge]

I mean, nothing is proven because of people's opinions. The feedback could've been louder without modders encouraging people to look elsewhere for solutions though, feedback is crucial during early access.

[wintry valve]

For instance, when I kill an abomination, I dont even bother picking up whatever it drops because I know I'll just put it all in the obliterator.

[lone rampart]

Only 2k here. Y’all make me feel like a newb

[fossil delta]

Eventually I will use mods. So its nice to know I will have plenty of mods to choose from.

[gray sand]

Newbdancer.

[lone rampart]

Rainnewb

[gray sand]

Rainnewber?

[viscid wigeon]

Yall i made it to the ashlands for the first time yesterday, advice?

[rugged bridge]

I didn't go through the entire list but the ones that stuck out to me were quivers, planting berry bushes & extra decorational flora, crafting directly from chests. Overall it's a lot of QoL stuff the game doesn't have and lots of people seem to want

[gray sand]

Pro tip: Don't die.

[viscid wigeon]

Sick, thatll save me

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they are kind of ticking me off with what they are trying to do to my life time membership. Not a topic for here, though.

[heady parcel]

To each their own, I don't use mods and I don't have any major issues with the inventory. Would I break down and cry if they created dedicated slots for equipped items (armour, cape, trinket, arrows, primary weapon& shield)? No, it would be a smooth thing to do considering they've added more equippables over time, and various utility meads you want to carry for that special occasion you need them. But is it critical? No.

[chrome badge]

Find a less populated shoreline, possibly a peninsula, build up walls and defenses as fast as possible.

[gray sand]

-# And all of it should burn to the ground. 🙃

[wintry valve]

Do not parry the 2 star charred warriors

[viscid wigeon]

where i am rn it looks like a destroyed city, had to travel through jagged rocks to get there

[wintry valve]

In fact do not parry the 2 star anything.

[tacit crystal]

As Munin says: prepare for warfare.

[gray sand]

Are you viking build or mage build?

[viscid wigeon]

im scared, does it ignore defenses?

[wintry valve]

Yesnt.

It doesnt ignore defense, it just does a kingload of damage

[viscid wigeon]

idk really, i have caraspace armor, with the fire staff and the long sword and lightning spear thing

[fossil delta]

Pretty much the pro tip for any game where death is possible.

[chrome badge]

Ah, that's an old temple, you will run into many enemies there, be careful.

[rugged bridge]

That's the root cause of the problem and why I said hope in modders at first. The addition of trinkets just made us lose an extra item slot if you want to experience the content they put work in, so yeah. One of the first things I talked about in this server was how stupid it was to me that what you're wearing is part of your inventory

[viscid wigeon]

iv seen a lotta skeletons

[wintry valve]

You do not have to use trinkets

[viscid wigeon]

and some deformed pail tree stump monster thing

[rugged bridge]

But alas the devs said they are aware of the inventory problem so it's all good, just gotta see their solution

[gray sand]

Pick one. Hybrid builds are worse than fully committing to mage or viking.

If mage: Staff of Embers is your landing weapon until you get Staff of Wild.
If viking: Mistwalker/Silver Sword for killing things, Demolisher if you need to make space for yourself.

[paper marsh]

Probably be fine with a parry trinket or definitely fine with a magic shield

[rugged bridge]

No, I don't have to use armor or weapons either, yet like 99.9% of the players I want to

I could always just resort to building campfires under bosses

Or growing an army of mobs to fight for me instead

[wintry valve]

I would argue that this is an argument made in bad faith. We had valheim without trinkets before they added them. We never had Valheim before they added weapons in it. Valheim was designed with you making weapons in mind, it wasnt designed with trinkets in mind.

[paper marsh]

Feels debateable to me

I definitely find hybrid to be a lot of fun (my preferred playstyle), but its efficiency really depends on the situation

[chrome badge]

I don't have a problem with inventory, even with trinkets, my problem is mostly with the natural result of underutilizing niche options in Valheim. I don't think I've ever used a Dvergr Circlet outside of item stand lighting, or any splash bombs for that matter, etc.

[rugged bridge]

Well going off of this logic they should've anticipated the inventory problem before making trinkets

[fossil delta]

They are wanting to be at least quasi realistic. Some times. The weight of anything you wear should still count against your total.

[viscid wigeon]

oh i see.. is there any chance i could vc you later today when i play? becose im horrified to die, tryna build a portal and a bit of a base so my father and step mother can come over, i typically defend and protect them becouse they are bad at fighting lmfao, they just build and whatever

[heady parcel]

Dvergr circlet is awesome to be able to build through the night, other than that...er, well...

[paper marsh]

Yeah weapons/gear are very unbalanced. I'm playing with over a dozen self-imposed rules to at least try to balance it out

[rugged bridge]

The weight sure, don't really mind that, it's the slots being taken up by more and more things as they add them that's bothersome, can't really compare slots to anything realistic tho lol

[chrome badge]

It's hard to say if it were part of the roadmap or not, it can only be speculation that they didn't anticipate anything.

[wintry valve]

Well I have no idea how to answer that. It's such a weird think to say.

[silk token]

You could play battleaxe/spear, then your weapon is your axe, and you don't have to carry arrows, that's 2 slots right there

[fossil delta]

I need it because I have lots of problems with night vision. Both in game and real life.

[gray sand]

If they are bad at fighting, do not let them enter the Ashlands 😬 is the War Biome for a reason.

And probably not. I am consumed with BG3 atm, and about to nap. I have every faith in you though 💛

[rugged bridge]

Maybe they did in the middle of making the update, who knows. When all's done and said they did post about the inventory situation and asked for feedback so that's good

Taken the first steps to ironing it out

[viscid wigeon]

lmfao alr, so after getting a bit of a base, what do you reckon i do?

[fossil delta]

BG3 is fun. Hate playing it with others, though. Unless I am the primary.

[wintry valve]

I tried BG3. I dislike how it is turn based. Well not like I "dislike" it but its a culture shock.

[chrome badge]

Move about carefully, locate some putrid holes(caves/dungeons) for retreating into whilst you comb the land, it is easy to be overrun and overwhelmed.

[gray sand]

I don't recommend basing in Ashlands, personally.
But you need to find the Morgen caves to get the new Stone Portal.
Then it's a matter of finding a Flametal pillar so you can start building new stuff.
Battering Ram gives you access to taking on Fortresses where the real goodies are.

[wintry valve]

Actually scratch that. I just dont like D&D 5e.

[viscid wigeon]

iv seen, many 1 star skeletons lol, so look for caves or underground things to hide in, what do i comb the grounds for?

[rugged bridge]

Could always opt for TBS games if you want to mess with turn based ones lol

A popular franchise is in the process of being revived with its newest game

[fossil delta]

I don't either. I am much more of an old schooler, but turn based is also old school, so...

[chrome badge]

Mostly anything you don't recognize, Ashlands has a lot to discover, and I don't want to spoil too much.

[wintry valve]

BG1 and BG2 were in real time

[heady parcel]

Felt weird at first, especially considering the previous games were "real-time with pause", but I got used to it and really enjoyed that game. But having characters in combat in turn-based and the world outside the combat bubble still be real-time is a very odd thing inviting weird exploits. But hey it's another game, wrong channel..

[rugged bridge]

You sound like the type of person I'd expect to have played HOMM

[fossil delta]

I am older than either of those. 😄

[fossil delta]

Which one is that? I own thousands of games.

[viscid wigeon]

iv seen a lot abt the wood, is a ethereal axe enough to cut it?

[paper marsh]

My favorite turn based game to date was a First-person shooter

Which is an odd but awesome combination

[rugged bridge]

Heroes of might and magic, used to be a popular franchise until several years ago

Most recent game they're working on might revive, who knows, we'll see

[chrome badge]

Yeah 🙂

[heady parcel]

Third was the last good one

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I own all of them, including the other franchise, up through 7? Maybe 8.

[rugged bridge]

Yeah very common opinion, I stopped liking their games after the fifth one.

[viscid wigeon]

thanks brother, and what abt the ore there? from my understanding is its like copper in black forest just reskinned for the ashlands

[rugged bridge]

They're working on HOMM Olden Era at the moment, I tried the demo, it's not too bad

[lone rampart]

Black metal axe will handle them fine

[chrome badge]

I'll just say, keep an eye out for large stone spires

[rugged bridge]

Without spoiling you too much, look for shiny looking spires in the lava

[viscid wigeon]

whats bad abt those?

[rugged bridge]

And keep your ears open when mining the ore

[heady parcel]

Anyway, I'm off to face the mama-bug, but it's half the world away, sailing through lots of uncharted waters. Gonna be an adventure!

[viscid wigeon]

theres like a sea of lava or something not far from me, any relation?

[chrome badge]

Not bad, just pertains to the ore.

[paper marsh]

I think I only played 3 and 4. I enjoyed them though

[lone rampart]

Possibly

[fossil delta]

I usually explore the most Mistlands just getting to her.

[rugged bridge]

There's seas and lakes of lava everywhere in the ashlands

(except the shoreline)

[viscid wigeon]

Gotcha

I truly do fear this lmfao, the time i had trying to get to the shore was horrendous

[rugged bridge]

Other franchise? Which one do you mean?

Unless you're talking about the original franchise HOMM was born from

In which case, cool to run into someone who actually knows that one lol

[heady parcel]

I played 2 more than 3 actually, absolutely loved how the CD allowed you to play the soundtrack in a regular cd player. Awesome orchestral score.

[rugged bridge]

Good, try not to spoil yourself too much, you only get one first-time in every biome. Play it at your own pace, have fun, rage if you die, that's part of it too

[viscid wigeon]

Lmfao no i so dont wanna die, the it took me like 3 hours to get down there

[fossil delta]

They over lapped in years of release. I think 1 through 5, maybe 6, was released before they started doing Heroes. Then they did 2 more? I don't remember. My kids were babies back then.

[rugged bridge]

Set up a portal then, unless you're torturing yourself with no portals or something

[paper marsh]

Better set up a portal if you're not a no-portal run

[viscid wigeon]

thats what im doing, i got the resources, might have built one idr, i want my parents to come up to assist in the building process but ill have to protect them lol

[rugged bridge]

You know pro tip for life in general, if you ever reach a place full of lava, undead and raining fire, the first thing I'd do is set up a shelter

[fossil delta]

Put up walls, then. Multiple thick walls. Even once you have the new build material.

[rugged bridge]

Protect away, the shores of ashlands are much less crowded now than they were in the beta phase

[viscid wigeon]

good to know, ill relay this information

[rugged bridge]

I'm sure you'll manage

[viscid wigeon]

it was still so bad when i first got there

[paper marsh]

Ashlands is pretty intense

[rugged bridge]

Now imagine it 2x harder and there's no wiki or people with information on the biome
That was my playthrough in the beta

[fossil delta]

Personally I put up raised earth walls. Even though one of the mobs can damage them. Which shocked the crap out of me.

[paper marsh]

I played the beta for ashlands and oh boy... it used to be way more intense, but even after nerfs that biome still packs a punch

I kinda liked the beta version though

[rugged bridge]

It made it more interesting not being able to look everything up whenever confusion happened

[fossil delta]

I still don't look anything up.

[rugged bridge]

I'll have the same experience with the deep north so I'm quite looking forward to it

Hopefully the beta client version is harder again so I can experience icy hell

[fossil delta]

Beta is usually much harder than the public release.

[rugged bridge]

Dunno if that's the standard or not, I didn't participate in mistlands beta, ashlands was my only one

But if it is then that's pretty cool, I guess playing earlier means you get to play hard mode

Seems like a fair and fun tradeoff

[fossil delta]

I did Mistlands and not Ashlands. But a lot more of the old timers hung out here back then, so I got their stories too.

IE the orginal beta testers, with the Odin gear.

[rugged bridge]

Forgot that stuff even exists

[paper marsh]

I think mistlands beta/early release had seekers be way more aggressive. None of this silly running around in circles and taking a breather after hitting you

[rugged bridge]

Should be a bit different than usual this time though, since deep north is the 1.0 update I'm pretty sure they're adding things to the previous parts of the game as well

Won't just be new endgame content

[fossil delta]

I got to see it fairly often, so easier for me to remember. It looks cool, but nothing exceptional about it.

[fossil delta]

They said they are.

IE adding more content to the old biomes.

[rugged bridge]

Yeahh just hoping it's more than what something like bog witch or CTA added

Since it is a bigger update

[lone rampart]

Do not speak ill of the big witch! That’s how ya get hexed!

[tacit crystal]

I miss the old Seeker AI.

[fossil delta]

Personally I feel like there is already plenty of content in the old biomes, but I am also pre abomination, only Haldor, no growths and tar build items, no caves, etc... So I already feel spoiled.

[rugged bridge]

Uh huh. You know my first instinct when entering her hut was to attack the first moving/living things in sight

I beat the broom to a pulp, got its trophy and then instantly tried to attack the witch

[gray sand]

Was something that required skill, had to be removed.

[paper marsh]

I started playing shortly before mistlands came out, didn't even finish plains until mistlands was out though.

And honestly, after beating mountain I kinda felt like it was a complete game. But then it just kept going through plains and mistlands (man I love mistlands), and it doesn't even stop there. Just had to wait a bit for new biomes to come out

[fossil delta]

If it wasn't for the Mists, and my own vision issues, Mistlands would be my favorite biome.

[paper marsh]

Honestly now I'm kinda considering making my upcoming plains base near 1-3 tar pits so I can farm them regularly lol

[lone rampart]

I’ve never attacked the broom. Wish it was tameable or dropped eggs (don’t think too hard on that) so you could have little broomlings at your base!

[fossil delta]

They only respawn 1 at a time, so the more the better, for "farming".

[heady parcel]

I love the visual design of Mistlands, I hope that dvergr wips beacon becomes a buildable piece at sometime, to clear bigger areas of mist.

[lone rampart]

You can make wisp torches

[fossil delta]

Much smaller clearing radius.

[lone rampart]

Just pepper the countryside with them

[paper marsh]

I feel like setting up ballistae to passively farm them would be nice, but I guess I'd still have to walk up there constantly to pick up the drops before they despawn.

Because spawnproofing/ItemDespawnProofing stops blobs form spawning right?

[fossil delta]

Yep, you can spawn proof the pits.

[heady parcel]

I know, but they have small radius, on areas with elevation just taking a few steps up will put your head back in the mists, they are awful...

[paper marsh]

I'm guessing the shield generator doesn't get rid of mist? Would be nice if it did

[heady parcel]

And spamming the entire landscape with those things looks ridiculous

[fossil delta]

I haven't even tried that. I doubt it does.

[paper marsh]

I mean shield generator does make sense in the mistlands. Protect your base against pesky Gjall

[fossil delta]

Would it, though? Seems to only be good against arrow attacks.

[paper marsh]

if so thats lame

I haven't played with them much but I thought they blocked all ranged attacks

[errant anchor]

anyone has a fresh world? ill join anything if it started somewhat recently

[lone rampart]

I found a beautiful little cove in the Mistlands: no mist and arable ground for mushies. It even had a dvergr fort!

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[fossil delta]

They might. I've only noticed them being effective against the archers.

[analog stirrup]

is this an okay place to ask how to make a lantern?

[gray sand]

Afaik it blocks the fireball, but not the tick drops.

[heady parcel]

Ugh, swapped forsaken power for the queen assault, now I really REALLY miss moder's

[errant anchor]

oh, sorry

[fossil delta]

No worries, there are a crap ton of channels to search through.

[gray sand]

Bronze + Surtling Core + Crystal

[analog stirrup]

thank you!

[fossil delta]

Thats handy. I'll set up one or two when I start playing with my wife again.

[gray sand]

Now for the real answer:

You have to align with one of the Corps values - Will (Green), Rage (Red), Fear (Yellow), etc.
Then they give you a magic ring.
Put it on, recite the oath, charge it and BOOM - Lantern.

[analog stirrup]

it appears i need a black forge..........

[gray sand]

😏

Indeed. Sorry 😭

[analog stirrup]

lol its all good

[gray sand]

Phrasing...

[fossil delta]

I also collect any I see laying around. Along with their mugs.

[fossil delta]

I keep forgetting how much people live in gutters.

[gray sand]

I've just watched too much Archer 😭

[fossil delta]

That would explain a lot.

[gray sand]

Not spawnproofing in Mistlands = Do you want Seekers? Because this is how you get Seekers...

[fossil delta]

I usually want seekers because I usually want more carapace.

[gray sand]

More meat = more coal for me.

[paper marsh]

Seekers are cool, though I find it more fun to be raided by a gang of fulings or gjall

[fossil delta]

That too.

[gray sand]

Especially since new cooking skill gives you chance at double coal 😂

[fossil delta]

I'm not even talking raids. Seekers come out of the proverbial wood work if your not spawn proofing.

In the Mistlands.

[paper marsh]

Yeah either way I find it more fun fighting Gjall or Fulings that come across my base

Unless the seekers bring a starred soldier, those always bring a fun tussle

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Soldiers are a good fight. Especially starred.

Its BS that starred Gjall don't give additional bladders, though. Just thought I'd throw that comment in.

[heady parcel]

Two stars are a bit scary, you don't want to mistime your dodge against those guys

[paper marsh]

I wish starred Gjall would be more common, and that they'd drop ticks of the same star level

[fossil delta]

Who dodges? I use Tower Shields. Just block. Just be sure your HP is high.

[paper marsh]

People without tower shields

[fossil delta]

Their problem, not mine. 😄 😄

[heady parcel]

I use normal shields, and a parry will do, but I don't trust them to not stagger me if I only block

[dark coyote]

I buckle enemies

[fossil delta]

I don't parry, or dodge roll, which is why I went with Tower Shields years ago. Doing those things made the game too easy back then. Of course now you can just change settings, but its habit for me now.

[paper marsh]

Carapace buckler sounds kinda nuts now. I think it was already the best parry shield in the game (better than ashlands at current upgrade level, at least last I checked? Might have gotten a forge upgrade since) and now it gives a whopping 10 adrenaline per parry

[heady parcel]

Yeah the slow movement and not being able to parry just made tower shields incompatible with me, I used the bone one against Eik a few times, since then I make that and the serpent one for decoration

[fossil delta]

The BM Tower Shield is a bit on the ridiculous side. Still very viable in Ashlands.

[nocturne wolf]

Shield generators can block every projectile. If there is anything that can get through, it's not technically a projectile (such as fader and trollstav spawn meteors)

[paper marsh]

Imagine instakilling Fader with a shield generator

[limpid vigil]

Another day of me thinking what the final boss could possibly be

[lone rampart]

Odin Himself

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the movement took some getting used to. But the reliable blocking versus chancy parry is worth it to me for my zero death runs in particular.

[paper marsh]

What if the true final boss was the friends we made along the way?

[lone rampart]

I’ll fight them too

I have the upper hand; he used all his arrows! 🤣

[fossil delta]

Wouldn't be the first time that particular idea has been used.

[gray sand]

Dual-wielding Tower Shields when?

[fossil delta]

I'm reading a novel series where I think that very thing is going to happen.

[heady parcel]

That's why I like regular shields - you can parry but even if you mistime it they are good for blocking most of the time. Only the really nasty two stars that make me nervous...

[nocturne wolf]

I use banded shield instead of iron buckler because it looks better

[fossil delta]

Honestly, Tower Shields, especially when fully levelled, are a bit on the OP side. I hardly ever get staggered.

The BM shield in particular. Good for 3 biomes.

[dark coyote]

I tried tower shields at the start, and I just got staggered, if I tried to attack I just got hit. Then I discovered parrying and was like, this is vastly superior, albeit risky.

[paper marsh]

is this on normal difficulty?

[fossil delta]

You get staggered when your not using the best tower shield you can make. Like that Bone Shield. Also "good enough" through BF, swamp and mountains. Once you get it to lvl 3. Sucks in mountians otherwise.

[rugged bridge]

Wait until you discover magic

That's when the appropriate reaction is "this is vastly superior, and not risky at all! wtf is this"

[heady parcel]

Requires a vastly different a playstyle though, I really, really don't like playing mage.

[dark coyote]

oh, I used the bone shield yeah

[paper marsh]

Full mage playstyle feels boring to me. And yeah shield way too OP

That's why I like hybrid. Mostly doing melee but complementing with some magic here or there

[heady parcel]

And I suck at it, died like six times in an hour, ragequit and slapped the staves on a wall as decoration

[fossil delta]

ITs fun enough to play mage. I just don't like throwing away all that time and effort I put into all my melee related skills.

[rugged bridge]

Takes a bit of getting used to, also takes using the right approach and staves

Staff of the wild trivializes the game so much especially

[fossil delta]

Nor do I want to invest all that time and effort into levelling completely new skills.

[heady parcel]

Yeah, and since I don't really enjoy playing mage in any game, I just was never interested in putting in enough time to learn and adapt...

[rugged bridge]

Fighting lord reto on your own as melee vs as mage is like comparing bayonet to an m60 in a warzone

[nocturne wolf]

maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't seem so great when I use it. In most cases whenever I use magic it feels like I could be killing faster with melee.

[heady parcel]

I'm the kind of player who bonked the kobolds with my staff when I started a mage in WoW

[paper marsh]

I wish mage was more utility focused. But as it stands most of mage gear is just "shield yourself to not need armor/actual shields/hp" or "do damage using eitr/magic staves instead of doing damage with stamina/physical weapons"

I wish there was more support abilities to not make it a choice between magic or melee, but making both viable together

[rugged bridge]

Sounds like you need a quarterstaff instead of a staff

[rugged bridge]

Mage gameplay right now is basically put anti-nuke shield on yourself while launching miniature nukes at mobs

[paper marsh]

hey hey come on now, if you only have one quarter of a staff you hardly have enough range to hit people. A mage doesn't want to be that close to enemies. Give them a full length staff to hit people with!

[rugged bridge]

That's called a tree, I know how deadly they are, trust me

[gray sand]

Troll pulls out a Ygg Shoot instead of normal tree and becomes Mage Troll

[dark coyote]

ogre magi

[lone rampart]

Shhhh don’t put ideas in their heads!!

[rugged bridge]

The battering ram should've been a troll holding an oak tree instead

[gray sand]

The battering ram should be you standing behind it, not in front.

[heady parcel]

Also - if Smiffe or some other dev is lurking in here - do please consider "connecting" players on a ship to the ship, like player+cart, so we don't destroy the boat under our feet when trying to defend it...

[lone rampart]

Oh I still manage to hit the cart half the time, especially if the enemy comes from behind or the side

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that is irritating.

[heady parcel]

Not sure it is actually possible, or I've just been absurdly lucky

[lone rampart]

It’s possible

[fossil delta]

If I am not careful I do more damage to my boats than serpents, just with my bow. If I get attacked by death squittoes. I would just stand up and block, but those suckers follow for an absurdly long distance. So I just move to the largest area of the longship and wait to smack them. I don't even want to talk about the Karve...

[rugged bridge]

Died to a wraith like a month ago because my hits kept registering on the boat instead of the wraith, miserable torture using anything other than a ranged weapon while on a boat

[heady parcel]

Yeah the sloped combat fix made it worse, since hit cone is larger

[dark coyote]

spiked gladiator carts when?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I just use my bow on them, even when in melee range.

[rugged bridge]

You'd think such interactions would be out of the game by now but I guess not lol

[heady parcel]

Anyway, it would go a long way to make the boat only hittable if you're facing the mast while on board, that way monsters could smack it freely from outside while we could defend it and "dismantle" when the need arises.

[nocturne wolf]

A simpler solution would be making the extra hitboxes from call to arms not hit vehicles. They already have a limited layer mask for what they can hit, I'm not sure why vehicles are included there

[heady parcel]

Spite?

Heh, sailing by a fuling village on the shore and a two star fuling stands by the bonfire flailing his shield around like a boss, with a harem of smaller guys, shammies and a couple of zerkers around him. Really looked like he was rallying them for a great fight. (Maybe against the neighbouring growths..)

[vernal karma]

[lone rampart]

Tardigrade

you dont know how many times i got a running start with the thing pushing it so the spikey flaming side bashed into the gate before i googled it and found you’re supposed to use it in a way that pins you directly against a wall of spikes and a ball of charred. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[vernal karma]

hardly an animal is it 😄

[lone rampart]

Scientifically it still counts

[vernal karma]

tardigrades can survive in space vacuum

Yeah... Battering Cart is just.. odd design tbh.

[lone rampart]

Cool then my after work task will be locating and taming some of the lil buggers

[sterile oak]

Seems like the bear set is better than the bronze armour set... It gives 3 less armour, but weighs 12 (lbs? kg?) less, doesn't slow you down, and in fact buffs you in many ways.

[merry pebble]

-# Just generic weight units 🙂

[heady parcel]

Oooh the satisfaction, successful ambush and oneshot on a two-star seeker

Take that you red <BLEEP>!

[fossil delta]

I agree. Didn't even notice any of the draw backs with successful use of my shield.

[heady parcel]

The bronze armour is seriously underwhelming, has always been but now with the bear armour it is even more superflous. I'm a strict heavy armour user, but even I skip it these days

[foggy glacier]

I live in my light armor. I only swap into heavy armor to clear mid- to late-game dungeons.

[fossil delta]

I use heavy armor exclusively once I get the iron set, but I do agree the bear set is the best one for that stage of the game.

[paper marsh]

I generally lean towards light armor but with ratatosk mead I’m considering more heavy armor

Also considering going 2.5-3x hp food with parries being free now

[fossil delta]

I want the universal damage reduction more than anything else. That is the only reason I go heavy.

[heady parcel]

Indeed. With high run skill I don't particularly feel the movement penalty, especially now that you can chug a ratatosk when you really need to leg it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, since I typically have my run and jump in the 90's by the time I get to Mistlands. I run more than fast enough for any of my needs.

[paper marsh]

The maneuvers you can do with a lot of stamina, speed, and jump height are pretty cool tho

Run up a hill jump onto a slanted rock jump off the rock at an angle for a speed boost throw your spear at en enemy parry an arrow then land on top of a lox

[lone rampart]

Take it easy Legolas 🤣

[fossil delta]

I don't do parry or dodge rolls, so I have plenty of speed and stamina for what I do.

Guess I'm Gimli.

[lone rampart]

You’re a natural sprinter! Wasted on cross-country!

[heady parcel]

Reached the queen. Her lair is smack in the middle of a large island, the hike here took 30 minutes, I was planning to go back to my ship for some backup equipment but I think I'll risk it, can't waste another hour running back and forth. Gonna regret it when she kills me...

[fossil delta]

Hopefully you surprise yourself.

what are considered good stats in valhiem

[foggy glacier]

depends on your playstyle and where you are in terms of biome progression.

Does anyone know when the release month is for ps5???

[tacit crystal]

No, only that it's during 2026.

[thick wind]

Dang

I can’t wait

[digital ravine]

TyTy

[jovial sleet]

Are bows largely useless in the mist lands? You can't really see things from much of a distance

[fossil delta]

Only really useful against the Gjall.

[jovial sleet]

Well that's no fun, I love sniping and making long shots

[fossil delta]

In some of the mines you might get to do a little bit of that. Depends on layout, etc...

[chrome badge]

You can utilize mist torches to get a clearer landscape, view enemies by their healthbar hud, or just lead enemies to a natural clearing(towers/lanterns/generated clear spots).

[exotic silo]

mostly used against gjall, wet enemies. not sure if we can get really high sneak lv to the point where seekers can't detect u inside wisp range.

[jovial sleet]

That's only for face defense though right? You can't just place them wherever?

[chrome badge]

They don't require a workbench, you can clear an entire biome with these.

[fossil delta]

wisp lights don't supress spawning.

So they will get destroyed, sooner or later.

[chrome badge]

Enemies don't target them, so it'd only happen in crossfire scenarios.

[fossil delta]

I've seen plenty of seekers destroy them. Gjalls too.

[jovial sleet]

What are wisp torches under? I don't remember seeing them when I was hunting through the menus, I have wisps and the wood required so they should be unlocked

[chrome badge]

They'd have to be attacking something else, they don't target wisp lights.

[fossil delta]

On your hammer.

[jovial sleet]

Well yeah everything you build is from your hammer lol

[silk token]

furniture i think?

[jovial sleet]

So enemies do Target wisp torches on their own?

[fossil delta]

That or the first tab.

[chrome badge]

No for the 3rd time they do not 😛

[jovial sleet]

I was looking for originally in furniture because that's where all the torches are, maybe I'm just blind

[fossil delta]

I'd disagree, but I didn't have out my research notes or make careful observations. I just recall them destroying them with nothing else near by. Not even me.

[chrome badge]

Here's a list of objects targeted by enemies, otherwise they will need to be aggro'd. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[jovial sleet]

You're an objection targeted by enemies

[fossil delta]

I don't care about a wiki list. I care about what I see happen. I had out wisp lights. I see a seeker destroy one I have on a peak of a spire across from my tower. Nothing else near by. No bench, no me, nothing but the wisp light. Seems like they like to destroy them to me.

[silk token]

yo mama's an objection

[chrome badge]

They were likely in combat or aware of an enemy, they will not just randomly attack these structures, I have an entire mistlands cleared with them and haven't replaced a single one.

[fossil delta]

Maybe a dvergr was near by. Don't know. Never saw them.

[foggy glacier]

I have, actually. If they're aggoed, they'll attack structures.

[chrome badge]

That's what I said, aggro'd.

[fossil delta]

He isn't disputing that.

[foggy glacier]

I've seen seekers attack my wisplights.

[fossil delta]

He is saying a dvergr, or something, had them aggroed.

Something I never saw.

Dvergr I can believe., Find them inside of rocks rather often.

[paper marsh]

Bows are OP at pretty much any stage of the game. In mistlands you can even use frost arrows to slow seekers down and do a good bit of extra damage (since they're not resistant to frost)

Do have to stay pretty aware due to the mist, but there's also some areas with no mist. Even then though, bows at close range are very strong too especially with the aforementioned frost slow

[burnt glen]

It's either that or Arbalest against the G'jall

[fossil delta]

Bows stopped being OP once they added the magic staves.

[jovial sleet]

It DOES list pretty much every other torch, is it possible wiki is wrong or just not updated?
They are pretty unique with their mist mechanics.

[silk token]

arbelist has knockback to keep gjalls away from you

big nope cannon when you're sailing

[chrome badge]

No, this is an intentional design quirk, so players can clear mist without much frustration.

It's not an attack on sight structure, but all structures can be attacked when the enemy is aggro'd nearby.

[fossil delta]

It does? OK, definitely going to carry it around more often.

[paper marsh]

I'd disagree. The ranged weapons in this game trivialize most things

[silk token]

yeah you can almost permanently boop them back away from you

[jovial sleet]

Are the dwarves naturally hostile in some areas, or do you have to anger them as a faction altogether?
The few I've seen so far are neutral.

[silk token]

i think they SLIGHTLY gain ground, but its noticable

[foggy glacier]

Even in mistlands, bows are super powerful. Especially if your crossbow skill is low.

[fossil delta]

You have to anger them.

[lone rampart]

Dwarves are only hostile if you attack/cause damage

[foggy glacier]

If you're using ranged combat, by the time you get to ML, your bow skill should be quite high. You can take out any gjall super fast with frost arrows.

[burnt glen]

You can knock out a G'jall with a single Arbalest shot with enough skill level.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, my wife had to wipe a whole tower because I accidentally punched one.

[foggy glacier]

If you havent' levelled crossbows much, I think the bow is a better option.

[jovial sleet]

So if you attack one dwarf, all of them everywhere get pissed?
And does that count on a player-by-player basis?

[foggy glacier]

all of them within range. Not all everywhere. And no, they all aggro all players, not just the one that hit hem.

[jovial sleet]

Is there a reason not to just slaughter them for loot?

[burnt glen]

Nah, kill em all

[silk token]

best weapon against gjalls is spear imo

[lone rampart]

Because it's mean! 🥺

[fossil delta]

Only in the tower, or near by.

[lone rampart]

Also they can help if you get overwhelmed by seekers

[chrome badge]

I don't kill Dverger anymore, they saved me in the Ashlands when I first arrived.

[jovial sleet]

Do The seekers just spawn in groups a lot of the time and that's what I'm encountering, or is there an actual spawner that's pumping them out on the surface?
I seem to pretty reliably get attacked by them in groups of three so far even in the same spot

But I don't see a spawner anywhere

[paper marsh]

No spawner

[foggy glacier]

I think they usually spawn in groups of up to 3

[lone rampart]

They travel in swarms.

[fossil delta]

If your find a group, a mine is near by.

[silk token]

iirc it's 2's during daytime, 3's at night?

[foggy glacier]

that may be right

[silk token]

but that might be just what it feels like

[paper marsh]

^ mistlands dungeons do have a one-time spawn of some seekers around it, often times starred ones in my experience

[foggy glacier]

Usually you'll see two together just random. They'll spawn 3-4 around dungeons.

[silk token]

ya actually if you're struggling to find infested mines, LISTEN. just go slow and listen, go toward the bug sounds you'll find them

[burnt glen]

and fake dungeons too 😠

[foggy glacier]

and learn to look for the rock spire clump.

[lone rampart]

"Go towards the bug sounds" goes against every instinct in my body

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I don't consider a pair as a group. 3 or more, and there is a dungeon or empty tower near by. That where you find 3 or more seekers.

[chrome badge]

Zelda flashbacks ensue

[foggy glacier]

that formation of four spires is ALWAYS a mine.

[fossil delta]

3 spires.

[jovial sleet]

How big a radius do wisp torches clear

[silk token]

a pathetic piddly amount

[burnt glen]

place one and see for yourself

[jovial sleet]

Like compared to a workbench

[silk token]

and not vertically, you have to sometimeis build a little post and put a torch on top

[chrome badge]

I want to say 10m roughly

[jovial sleet]

That is kind of sad

[chrome badge]

It is, but they're a cheap build

[fossil delta]

Thats what I was thinking, but have no idea what the precise area is.

[foggy glacier]

yah, but you're not meant to clear the mist. that's the point.

[jovial sleet]

Is there a bigger mist clearing building?

[foggy glacier]

only the ones that are already there.

[jovial sleet]

I mean you're supposed to clear it around your base

[chrome badge]

No unfortunately, the mist is meant to be always present so it can't be easily overcome.

[foggy glacier]

the dvergr lighthouses and mist towers clear a larger amount.

[jovial sleet]

Is that just some behind the scenes Dev bs, or an actual structure located somewhere in the building?

[fossil delta]

Yep. Which is why it would be nice if those became buildable pieces.

[paper marsh]

behind the scenes dev bs

[foggy glacier]

the former.

[jovial sleet]

So if you want a clear base you should just tear a tower down and build over it?

[foggy glacier]

there's nothing buildable other than the torches, yet.

[foggy glacier]

tear it down and you lose the torch.

[jovial sleet]

Sigh

[burnt glen]

There are just areas without the mist in Mistlands.

[jovial sleet]

So just build inside it and around it

[chrome badge]

Not a terrible idea, but yeah keep the natural mist lights alive.

[fossil delta]

Seems like they are most often by water too.

[foggy glacier]

those towers always have a central pillar holding up the light. You could tear down everything else and build around to your own specs.

[chrome badge]

Most players build in mist-less areas, and like Robert said, those are most common by shorelines

[burnt glen]

interesting observation

[fossil delta]

I've found them in valleys too. Just much more often along shore lines.

Those bridges have a high degree of relation to clear areas too.

[silk token]

omfg ive never wanted to turn maps on harder than the obsenity that this world is. it's not that i can't FIND the elder alter, i can't find a way to sail or travel that direction.

and right on cue fog rolls in lol.

ok universe. maps on.

worst seed ever

[burnt glen]

Lol, Yacko are you still using Battleaxes?

[chrome badge]

I would play nomap if they introduced a sun stone to locate the sun during storms/fog.

When I tried it, it I ended up waiting just to orient myself during bad weather.

[silk token]

yeahhh.... i TRIED using other things and i always just switch back i cant help it

[burnt glen]

Haha like me with knives

[silk token]

yeah bad weather is annoying. im ok like holding course it's just the exploration part of mild rain or fog like....... can i just SEE though guys

omg there's like no water on this map

ok i'm not goign to look where elder is but im just going to find which one of these stupid ravine rivers i can take to go kind of the right way... i HAVE to screenshot this obsenity.

BWARGH. Tried to find some asksvin to tame. Ended up finding two morgen and a platoon of charred instead. ...then I finally find an asksvin as it's being finished off by two dvergr.

[gray sand]

Tameable Morgen when?

[lone rampart]

It's all fun and games until he does his roll attack and leaves you a battered smear on the ground

[chrome badge]

It would be funny to bridge from Ashlands to an island and unleash some Morgen onto the world.

[lone rampart]

Omni you mad genius

Reminds me of when I ruined the ecosystem on my first playthru. Running around hunting with some wolves, they kill a deer, eat...that was enough to make them pop out a baby which I couldn't get back to base. This happened several more times. For weeks afterward, I would see random wolves chasing anything that moved

[chrome badge]

Oh my god, a real trophic cascade 😅

[foggy glacier]

wolves in the meadows is a FPS nightmare that's just going to happen.

there is no way to avoid it.

it's partly why I almost never bother to breed them.

[light gyro]

when is valheim mobile

[cloud epoch]

anyone wanna play

[chrome badge]

There's no claims it will ever be on mobile.

You can always try streaming it from your PC to your mobile though.

[light gyro]

i hope it'll someday

[light gyro]

the main idea was to play with my phone users friends

[chrome badge]

I have doubts it will ever be optimized enough to run on mobile, the way Valheim works just isn't made for mobile specs, and would either drain battery extremely quick, or have such low performance it would be virtually pointless to play.

Potentially both 😛

[light gyro]

i had hopes since you could run RE4 remake on mobile

[chrome badge]

Yeah, this is a completely different engine, with completely different gameplay mechanics and physics.

[light gyro]

oh right

[chrome badge]

Rendering one map with interactions somewhat locked is definitely easier than a game that allows you to topple 30 trees with physics in a small area.

Definitely 👍

The thing I said earlier about how killing dvergr was mean? Forget that, it is on sight with those short little bastages!!

Through much trial and tribulation I managed to tame a 1-star asksvin. Ran back to base to make a saddle. And two dvergr rogues spawned and gunned him down! 😭

It would be nice if tames also became neutral with dverger, could be worth suggesting

Random thought... Does Morgen aggro ever stop at certain distance from its spawn?
Or is it similar to seeker soldier that follows us until one of us die?

iirc aggro can persist so long as the enemy is making contact with something, even if it's a shield.

If you're consistently dodging or avoiding it will fall back after a certain distance.

[exotic silo]

Ooh so as long as we're getting hit/ hit it once a while, the aggro will persist?

Yeah, this can be handy for luring 2 star boars closer to home.

Time to prepare a morgen cage for display.

Terrifying

After a while the 2 star boars lose aggro randomly and start going back to the spawn point and you have to re-aggro them. Idk if it is the same for all creatures in valheim

I had said this just above

[agile star]

Has to make Contact! That's why I am losing the aggro because I just run and let them chase me without hitting anything! Ty for the advice

No problem 🤘
