[exotic silo]

Do u have any marble build idea?

[forest jacinth]

Anyone ever build an aquarium

[summer fern]

aquarium? how? like a pool?

[exotic silo]

Doesn't work in valheim afaik. U can only make a pond

[ripe walrus]

After the deep North update it’ll probably be possible to make dragonsreach from skyrim…

[heady parcel]

Personally I don't use marble much, when I do I use them mostly for details on stone buildings. Like stone floor and marble floor to make a checkered floor for example.

[ripe walrus]

Honestly it looks do-able for Valheim…

[exotic silo]

Yeah I don't use them often too. That's why I'm challenging myself to make something out of them.

[summer fern]

A way to make a proper aquarium would be nice. A way to gather fish from all over and breed them. There already is glass like items in the game, so why not allow making it into something for fishies? Might be more of a big placeable though, or like several modules that can be snapped to eachother.

[forest jacinth]

Marble aquariums were a thing before glass aquariums and crystal is very fragile

[ripe walrus]

I need custom pubbles

[exotic silo]

U gotta overhaul the water mechanic. I don't see the devs making them anytime soon

[ripe walrus]

They could just copy the same mechanics as the tar pools, right?

[forest jacinth]

Hope they can find a work around for this niche scenario

[summer fern]

I don't mean like actual water, but like a fake water that is used/is a part of the build model.

[forest jacinth]

Maybe an actual buildable Fishtank lol

[ripe walrus]

Real water would be cooler though, but they can add like a different type if water, that doesn’t have to hehave the same as the sea water, right?

[summer fern]

Like you place a piece and it has walls on all sides with fake water in the middle, then you can place other ones next to it where they seamlessly merge(removing the walls between them both) like stone foundations do to avoid gaps.

[ripe walrus]

Technically there is already the bathtub.

[summer fern]

Yea like that but probably where swimming is a possible option.

[ripe walrus]

Wait… that makes me think if I can put a fish in there

[ripe walrus]

That might be a bit buggy, idk.

[summer fern]

Still might be interesting to look into, plus could allow making rivers inside your base out of the tank pieces. It is very flexable in my opinion. Could work into builds very well.

[ripe walrus]

Yea

I want rivers

And waterfalls

And puddles

[summer fern]

Then to mix it into my suggestion it could potentially feed into the automation stuff for water wheels. So much potential mainly out of a module based tank piece, it probably would be 2x2 I assume in size.

Maybe have a variant module that allows a crystal glass that is heavily reinforced with metal frames. Kind of built in iron frames mainly.

I might want to make a suggestion soon lol, does the idea sound nice? Plus with it being a fake kind of water, it could easily be determined if a fish is in it or not/is able to be bred.

Imagine investing a huge amount of resources to make a side of my bedroom in valheim that is all a aquarium.

Or 3 walls of the room aquarium, different shapes are easy in the module based system. Could potentially do 4 if you decend from the top or ascend from the bottom lol, but I think you are going a little fish crazy at that point.

This could be used to flush out oceans a little more too, you could farm new sea plants in your aquariums. This might also require and give a point to adding the option to swim down to the game, even maybe ways to use tools like the cultivator at least under water.

Do you all like the idea? it has lots of potential for builds and progression to. Want to be sure, I might post a suggestion on another day about it.

[exotic silo]

throw fish in the boiling bath tub

[silk token]

it sounds like a bigger update than deep north i wouldnt get your hopes up

[heady parcel]

To be fair I doubt anything like that (moving parts etc) is planned at this point, and I know the devs don't like the thought of automation taken too far. The kiln/smelter/refinery etc is as far as it will ever go.
I also agree running water would have been awesome, but there are technical reasons it's not in. Could have been made, but with sacrifices and added complexity that simply wasn't worth it. It's a shame, but I understand the decision. I remember reading a comment or interview about it somewhere, but it is a long time ago. All the same - a water mill similar to the windmill that could be placed by the water in "rivers" would have been a cool build piece. I have built a fake watermill once just for the ambience.

[indigo sphinx]

Hey, I started playing the game today, do you guys have any tips?

[lone rampart]

Take it at your own pace and don't feel like you have to experience it all at once. You only get one first time!

[merry pebble]

And dont hang around here much if you dont want spoilers 😄

[indigo sphinx]

I've already watched quite a few 100-day videos about the game.

[indigo sphinx]

I can't find any copper; I find plenty of moss-covered rock, but the game doesn't tell me if it's copper or rock.

[paper agate]

You can make rivers.

[paper agate]

You might have been just very unlucky

Usually when its rock it says nothing but copper always says copper

[merry pebble]

Once you find Copper it will say Copper deposit once you hover your crosshair over it 🙂

[indigo sphinx]

Ah, so I only found rocks. I'll try exploring the dark forest at the top of the map then.

[paper agate]

Yea, and the copper has like bronze veins

There very small but very noticeable in the correct lighting.

[foggy glacier]

They're also quite large. Not like tin nodes that are similar in size to the small surface rocks. Copper nodes look like the giant (mostly underground) rock formations.

[paper marsh]

Is there any consistent way of beating a ||fallen valkyrie|| in melee or do you just have to range it out?

[indigo sphinx]

I managed to find a copper vein, it's very little, but I broke half of it and got 18 copper.

[merry pebble]

They go under the ground 😉

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, thank you for the information, I didn't know that. Now I'm melting two copper bars, but I only got two pieces of charcoal because the meat burned.

[merry pebble]

Once you explore some of the black forest dungeons you will be able to produce more coal easily 😄

[indigo sphinx]

I'm wanting to build a house because I don't have space, but I can fix up the house I fixed up to put the workbenches and forges in.

[wary oasis]

WARNING: SEVER SCAMMERS!!!!!
I just joined a server a couple of days ago called "Valheim Freaks". They were really friendly to start, but after spending days on the server building my base and gathering resources, i've been kicked out for the strangest reason.... because I'm also on other servers with friends...???
Despite there being no mention of it on the server rules, they kicked me out beuacse i'm on other servers despite using seperate characters.
"ReadyPlayer7" is the name of the person who runs the server, and essentially banned me for no reason, cutting me off from all the work i did, stealing all my resources, and not even letting me say goodbye to the friends i made in the server. I just want to WARN all other Valheim players out there, this server is run by a GRIEVER!
DO NOT JOIN THEIR SERVER. THEY WILL KICK YOU AND STEAL ALL YOUR WORK!!!!!!
I feel like such a dummy for trusting that they were nice people.

[paper marsh]

Unfortunately that sounds like the typical "play with randoms" story :(

Sorry that happened to you though

[pliant hatch]

That's not something you should post here.

If they got a post up in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510, take screenshots of what happened and contact the staff of this discord using the ModMail.
Provide the screenshots as evidence there and they will handle things regarding the post.

Just posting accusations won't do much good to anyone. Especially when it's "one word against the other" situation like this is.

[wary oasis]

Just trying to warn other players of how they run their sever so they don't make the same mistake i did

[pliant hatch]

And then that particular player comes here, accusses you of cheating and before we know it a flame war starts, leading the staff to ban everyone involved.

I don't think you want that, right?

So contact the staff through modmail with screenshots as evidence, so they can remove the LFG post if one's there.

If not, there's not even a reason to post it here, as the staff isn't able to do anything about situations happening when people join servers run by people they don't know.

[merry pebble]

While admirable, message here will not really have much impact, because after few hours at most it will be drowned in magnitude of other messages.

[pliant hatch]

And that's the other reason.

[wary oasis]

Thank you this has never happened to me before, so i appreciate the info

how do i use mod mail?

[merry pebble]

Simply send a direct message to it 🙂

[wary oasis]

where is "it"?

[merry pebble]

@dusky pivot

[pliant hatch]

Modmail is listed as a "user" in the user list. So if you open that one at the right of your screen, you will be able to see it.

[wary oasis]

I just got a message from another player who the same thing happened to!!!! I'm not the only on theyre greifing

[pliant hatch]

BTW: if that player does have a LFG post up here, better link the staff to it as well, so they know which thing they need to take down.
Depending whether or not they think the evidence you provide them with is sufficient enough.

[wary oasis]

Sorry, i'm having a hard time understanding. Where is the user list?

[tacit crystal]

If you're on PC you can see the user list on right side.

[pliant hatch]

Also, when using mod mail, you will need to confirm your message by clicking at the ✅ once the message is posted. That's to prevent bots sending messages to them.

[merry pebble]

On the right side of your screen, or just send message here---> @dusky pivot

[pliant hatch]

There's 4 symbols at the top right of this channel's top bar. The one on the right showing two "persons" is the one that opens / closes the user list.

[plush umbra]

It's very hard to find good servers Xbox can join most of these are steam servers

[wary oasis]

thank you, i'm going to try and report it now

[paper marsh]

Is mace uppercut consistent?

[gray sand]

I haven't had an issue just whacking them after dodging the claw attack. That's with the axes.

[foggy glacier]

Hmm, I never really thought about which weapon/attack has the most vertical since the hitbox tweaks.

[opaque berry]

are burial chambers necessary? if so, how does one deal with them

[grizzled fox]

👋 Hello!!
Could I ask kindly to share a environment project I made?
it's very simple, and I make these for fun

[foggy glacier]

This should definitely work. ONce you get them down, anything will hit them.

[merry pebble]

Does it have to do with valheim? 🤔

[grizzled fox]

yee~!

[gray sand]

Is it modded?

[grizzled fox]

nah

[gray sand]

So you made "an environment" in Valheim?

[plush umbra]

Are you running a server if so can Xbox join

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

I tried that already got no luck

[grizzled fox]

I have 2 environment posts on #1381541790674452571 #1444831279185924197 message and I keep recording the new ones I make

[tacit crystal]

Any melee can work when they're low enough, spear throw is nice when it's bit higher.

[gray sand]

Doesn't mean bring it to the wrong channel.

[plush umbra]

Ok cool

[tacit crystal]

Skeletons are weak against blunt and fire, so club and fire arrows do well.

[grizzled fox]

So far it's one for ocean, and one for deep north

[gray sand]

If it's just recorded vids that would probably be #building-screenshots as long as vanilla, #mods-screenshots if you used any mods.

If it's to your YT or some other channel that would be #self-promotion .
💛

[foggy glacier]

Absolutely, in early game. There's loot in there you'll really want.

[grizzled fox]

😄 you can see them too, I've been so happy to share them
Wdyt? ❤️

ill post them there too

[gray sand]

The channels I listed would be where to put them so that we can see them too! 🙂

[paper marsh]

Yes. I recommend a club or a torch, along with a wooden shield

[grizzled fox]

okok let me repost for u ❤️

[paper marsh]

Make sure to eat like 2 hp foods (red fork foods) and 1 stamina food (yellow fork)

[foggy glacier]

You can also use a stagbreaker to hit them through doors.

[pliant hatch]

I'm afraid they are, unless you don't want to use any metal weapon up to the swamp.

Those chambers provide an important item for your progress.

As how to deal with them: Wooden shield, leather armor and an upgraded club help a lot.
Kiting the monsters in there to an area where you got more room helps too.
Destroying the spawners to prevent more monsters from spawning helps a lot.

And of course, good food helps too, although that too won't be able to get access too until you actually got 5 of those important items.

Troll armor would even be better, if you got access to that.

Problem is, all Meadows items need bones to upgrade them to a higher tier. And burial chambers are the best source for bones. Unless you want to check each and every dolmen (that 3 stone thingy) in the Meadows for bones.

[foggy glacier]

Ugh, that'll take forever.

[pliant hatch]

Yup. It's certainly not something I would reccommend to do.
The third option is to wait for Greydwarfs to fight Skellies and once the skellies are down, picking up the bones. But that'll take quite some time as well.

Meaning, best source for bones are burial chambers.

[tacit crystal]

Stagbreaker goated for burial chambers tho.

[opaque berry]

ok, ill work on that, thank you for the advicec!!

[opaque berry]

was that a spear? t3 workbench right?

[tacit crystal]

It's the sledge.

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, 2h club.

and even the L1 stagbreaker is a game-changer in the burial chambers.

[tacit crystal]

Requires deer trophies, core wood and leather scraps to craft.

[grizzled fox]

real deer trophies, not the fake ones off amazon

[paper marsh]

stagbreaker just feels cheesy imo, its hard to avoid hitting enemies through walls

[tacit crystal]

Just open door so it's not cheese then.

[foggy glacier]

if you're under-equipped otherwise, it gives you that edge to advance.

[grizzled fox]

WOO

TY FOR THE THUMBS UP 😄 Im so nervous sharing my builds

[opaque berry]

alr. Thank you!

[paper marsh]

I'll admit its been a long time since I used it, but doesn't it hit through solid walls too? I feel like I remember hitting enemies in one room and having the slam go straight through the walls getting damage numbers in other rooms

[tacit crystal]

Yeah it does hit through walls too.

[timber marsh]

Big hammers are my favorite part of the game

[opaque berry]

would it be very practical to make an underground region-base in the black forest inside of a rock near the copper veins and some crypts

[ripe walrus]

You can make a base under the Elder’s altar.

Invincible and flat roof, and more space then those rocks

[opaque berry]

90% just asking because it would probably look/feel great, moreso than actual useage

[ripe walrus]

Under a boulder wouldn’t look great honestly.

You’ll live like a broke hobbit

[opaque berry]

fair point

[opaque berry]

kinda hoping for this sort of result -- sorry if links arent allowed in this channel, am rather new to server

https://www.reddit.com/r/ValheimBuilds/comments/1p05w8q/for_the_viking_in_need_of_relief_and_shelter_i/

[gray sand]

I like that boulder. That is a niiiice boulder. 🫏

[opaque berry]

you expect rich hobbitses? in this economy? id have to sell my precious...

[indigo sphinx]

I can start building the house, but it will take a long time to finish because I'm terrible at construction.

[ripe walrus]

Let’s give moder a visit after…

I got a 10 min time-out for using a gen z term (not a curse word or anything)

[ripe walrus]

Everybody rich till they want some eggs

[opaque berry]

why does wood turn gray over time? is there any major downside other than looks?

[gray sand]

Rain/water damage for unroofed wood will degrade it to 50% hp (it will not go lower than that).

[nocturne wolf]

The different look only lets you know it's at low health

[gray sand]

I use the different look on purpose in some of my builds though.

To break up the monotony of wood texture.

[wooden ruin]

Does anyone use the mods MagicRevamp/Magicplugin ? I

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[silk token]

i absolutely made a base under a copper node one time, some of the top broke off and i had to cover it with roof pieces, but largely i was under the rock, it was great.

just dig it out from the bottom and you’ll have lots of room, dig as far into the node as you dare, you’ll break the top of the node probably but it just adds to the hobbit hobo aesthetic

[fossil delta]

I cleared out under a copper node last night that was a perfect "cap" for a home. Then I just finished destroying it. 😄

[round ridge]

67

[lone rampart]

Random question. If I mined completely around a BF burial chamber (the sunken ones, not the little stone rooms), would it drop down like a tree or remain floating?

[fossil delta]

Never tried, but I am pretty sure it would float.

Every version probably floats, just like the Elder Altar.

[lone rampart]

You're probably right.
I've never tried it either, but I was thinking of expanding the lox farm and there's a chamber that spawned right at the edge that may make full expansion...tricky.

Or I just turn it into a subterranean barn 🤣

[fossil delta]

I've seen some cool builds where people just basically turn them into a basement. Not sure why since you can't actually use them for anything other than yellow mushroom farming.

[lone rampart]

My dedicated server is hosted through Bisect, and they actually have a server config for enabling building in dungeons. So, naturally, I clicked that sucker! 😹

I need to find a good frost cave to turn into an impenetrable fortress of solitude

[fossil delta]

Cool. Another mod I will l have to remember to use once I start using them. Some time after we get 1.0. (I'm weak willed. If I start using them now, I will never stop. So I won't use them until some time after 1.0.)

[lone rampart]

Not a mod

I'm pretty sure there's a way to turn it on using dev commands, even in straight vanilla. But yeah, I know what you mean about mods 😅 I went from being a purist to playing on a server with a friend who used PlantEverything to put berry bushes next to the kitchen. It was all over after that!

[fossil delta]

Yep. Plus I am sure a mod exists that does the same thing. I don't need or want to pay a monthly fee for just my wife and I to play.

[lone rampart]

Fair enough

I do because my internet is the poo 🤣

[fossil delta]

If I find out dev commands can do that, then I will simply do that.

I live in a big city, so have great internet.

[lone rampart]

jealous

May I message you the command?

[fossil delta]

Where we moved from still only has glorified dial up.

[fossil delta]

Sure. You've posted enough I can believe your not a spammer. 😄

[lone rampart]

mwahaha! Played right into my trap - I mean what?

withers under the wave of suspicion 🥀

[fossil delta]

Do such dev commands work for the Steam servers? IE worlds I share playing in with my wife?

[pliant hatch]

Dev commands only work for the one hosting the game if it's not on a rented server, afaik.

[lone rampart]

NNow that, I've no idea

[fossil delta]

OK, we usually have me "host" the world. So sounds like it should work fine.

[indigo sphinx]

Can I kill a bear using a rudimentary level 2 bow and flint arrows?

[fossil delta]

It will take forever.

[lone rampart]

But technically yes

[fossil delta]

Fire arrows may work a little faster, but bears just have tons of HP.

[solar plaza]

Technically you can kill pretty much everything with a lvl2 bow... the question is are you willing to slog through the combat to do so?

[indigo sphinx]

The damage I'm causing is only showing up as 0.

[fossil delta]

Huh, when I last did it, it showed as 10 to 15 damage.

[indigo sphinx]

I bugged him in the tree lol

[fossil delta]

They can destroy trees.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh

[fossil delta]

At least the starred bears can. Had fun with that yesterday.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm exploring a cave now, I gave up on killing him, I'm too weak.

[fossil delta]

I usually wait until I have a bronze axe.

Plus foods that give me over 100 HP.

So my shield works worth a crap.

[silk token]

its gonna take a long ass time, great time to learn how to parry, a lvl 2 wooden shield can parry their lunging swipe attack

[fossil delta]

With which foods?

IE HP score is?

[indigo sphinx]

I'm really bad at parrying, but I'll use a bow anyway. I'm currently making the charcoal furnace to prepare the copper.

[fossil delta]

Thats what I do once I have 5 cores. Start pumping out that coal!

[indigo sphinx]

I'm eating wild boar and venison, and my HP from this food is at 104.

[fossil delta]

A small window of time for fighting a bear. Even ones without stars. Still, anything less than a bronze slash weapon takes a long time.

So axe or sword.

[indigo sphinx]

Okay, I'll try to kill him later then.

[fossil delta]

ITs what I do. I have to have at least the bronze axe. Then I make the bear armor set.

You may have to kill a lot of bears to get the trophy for the head piece. I think someone posted yesterday they had to kill over 40 of them.

I got it on my 4th one yesterday.

[silk token]

great chance to get good at parrying is the point XD

[fossil delta]

Oh yeah, biggest reason I level shield without using TWIG.

[tacit crystal]

Also bear paw weapons.

[fossil delta]

Kind of hard to do until after you start killing bears, but yeah.

For me, its the bronze axe first.

[indigo sphinx]

Okay, I've never played a parry game, but I'll try making a copper shield and axe.

[fossil delta]

Besides, I also want a ton of fine wood ASAP.

[fossil delta]

It makes melee a lot easier, once you figure it out.

HP is key for shields.

[tacit crystal]

Paws are faster to get due to requiring killing 2 bears with flint axe vs. mining copper and tin and finding cores.

[indigo sphinx]

Is it worth building a tannery support structure?

[fossil delta]

The fight takes forever. So I just wait until I get the bronze axe. It goes much faster. Its not like I don't need all that tin and copper anyways.

[indigo sphinx]

Wait, do I need a stranger to do things out of copper?

[fossil delta]

Stranger?

[indigo sphinx]

the strange ore

[fossil delta]

You need the forge table to make bronze. Which requires tin and copper.

[foggy glacier]

And you need a smelter to make ingots out of ore.

[indigo sphinx]

I haven't found it strange yet.😔

[fossil delta]

Since they know to make a kiln, I was assuming they knew about the smelter, but yeah, if you don't understand the need for it, thats why. You get that in your menu the same time you get the kiln.

Also nails. Always make nails. Not necessarily right away, but soon after you see them show up.

[fossil delta]

You referring to tin? If so, walk the black forest coast lines. Its the shiny stuff.

[tacit crystal]

Not really, parrying weaker attacks is possible with even wooden shield, which gives more damage with the flint axe.

[pliant hatch]

Yes, it is.

Each addition for a crafting station will upgrade that crafting station, making it possible to upgrade your tools weapons and armor. And when it comes to food, craft better food as well.

[indigo sphinx]

I managed to make 2 copper bars, now I'm smelting the ore and farming trees to make charcoal.

I made the bronze axe, now I'm going to try to make more bronze bars and try to make the bronze set.

How do I make a bronze pickaxe?

[tacit crystal]

Corewood is required.

Cut pine trees in black forest, can be cut with stone axe.

[indigo sphinx]

I don't know what core wood is.

[nocturne wolf]

It's dropped by pine trees

[tropic scarab]

Hay starting a new discord server for people looking to help or people looking for help it’s to create a community that’s built by the community no grieving or toxic behavior just a spot to play with people and the server that I’ve been working on for two years now I’m going to upload as a dedicated server in the information will be posted on the discord upon 1.0 release

[indigo sphinx]

I made a cart, I'm going to mine copper and I'll bring back the pine tree then.

[opaque berry]

just tried out debug mode building, by far my favourite game now

[gray sand]

😄

[livid owl]

where can i farm antlers?

[gray sand]

Why do you need to farm antlers?

Nevermind... multiple channel spam...

[livid owl]

to get recipies and stuf to make

[paper marsh]

Need to kill the first boss, Eikthyr. At the circle of stones where you spawn in there's a little red stone you can interact with to show you the first boss's spawn location

[gray sand]

You're a nicer person than I am 😛

[livid owl]

ah ok thanks ya

[opaque berry]

Is there any way to disable stability requirements?

[dark coyote]

buckler/clubs ftw

[gray sand]

tbf, if you're parrying, weapon choice is secondary as everything is going to do more damage to the stunned target.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm going to try creating a new save now because I messed up a lot of things in the other one.

[gray sand]

Valid.

[indigo sphinx]

Do you know of any good seeds?

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

kMTq28lMJ8
Is the one I use.

[dark coyote]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202740443352137838

[indigo sphinx]

I'll try using it because I'm spawning in areas with little flat terrain.

[gray sand]

If you want flat terrain, don't 😄

I use that seed because it has the 2 tallest and sharpest mountains in the game 😄

[indigo sphinx]

Is it easy to find ore in this seed?

[merry pebble]

-# The highest one being 486m tall 😄

[gray sand]

Yes?

[tacit crystal]

-# I've found seed with mountain 496m tall. 👀

[indigo sphinx]

I've never played the game before, so I don't know. I'm starting to play today.

[merry pebble]

-# Ooooh, better polaris generation? 👀

[tacit crystal]

-# eJ3vRPXggd is the seed. 2427 8543 coordinates. 👀

[nocturne wolf]

Did you take off 30m from the Y level for sea level?

[echo wind]

Onion seeds are good

[tacit crystal]

Hmm no? Do people count it like that?

[nocturne wolf]

I’m not sure how the other mountains were measured

[merry pebble]

Actually has 497m 😄

[tacit crystal]

-# Damn my shaky hand.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, it was about world seeds, but thanks for the tip.

[merry pebble]

For purpose of this particular convo i think we just use the coordinate the seed viewer gave us 😄

[echo wind]

Technically a hill, then... Mountains are 600m above surrounding terrain

[tacit crystal]

That's how I've thought aswell.

[indigo sphinx]

I went to the random seed, my notebook is pretty weak, a 7th generation one, and I highly doubt it can handle rendering a large mountain of data.

[echo wind]

Just messing with ya, onions just are the highest tier food in the game that come with seeds 😄
As for "good seeds" it kinda depends on what you consider to be good. Are you looking for a small or large starter island, bosses that are nearby or a challenge to get to, tall mountains or flat surfaces in the meadows, traders that are close to each other, areas where many biomes collide, etc etc.

[tacit crystal]

Cough ||Ashvine|| Cough.

[indigo sphinx]

I was looking for one with flatter areas to build a house.

[echo wind]

Ah true

[merry pebble]

-# Was just typing... "Ehm... ||Vineberries... ||" xD

[echo wind]

Have you tried using a hoe?

[indigo sphinx]

I don't understand the whole business about the merchant, as I said before, I only watched videos about the game, so it's difficult to put into practice everything I saw in the videos.

[gray sand]

One of the mountains I mentioned can actually be made very flat in a large area at the peak tbh.

[fossil delta]

Needs to relatively flat in the first place.

[indigo sphinx]

It already is, but it didn't turn out that flat, lol.

[silk token]

honestly stop watching videos and play the game, you’ll discover everything just fine when you discover it, dont worry if you’re winning the game fast enough

[indigo sphinx]

Oh

[echo wind]

Usually with a pick axe and a hoe you can make most areas flat enough to build on

[indigo sphinx]

I was really surprised when I managed to defeat a wild boar with my fists; in the video it seemed kind of impossible.

[heady parcel]

What Yacko said, honestly. Playing the game blind while learning is the most rewarding way. Look stuff up if you just can't figure something out and get frustrated, but other than that - let things come as they come.

[echo wind]

Tho some elevation in the terrain can make for extra neat buildings

[fossil delta]

My wife and I put over 1500 game days on our first world.

[indigo sphinx]

Yesterday, when I defeated the first boss, I was very happy.

[fossil delta]

I know of people who have done far more.

[indigo sphinx]

Nice

[fossil delta]

So don't rush.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm saving the fights for when I'm strong. I died 4 times to a bear and you guys said it would be easy, lol.

[merry pebble]

Just have a torch in the off-hand and you will be just fine 🙂

[dark coyote]

I think bearss have too much health and they spawn ridiculously often, easily 2-3x as much as trolls

[fossil delta]

I never said that. I just said I waited until the bronze axe.

[indigo sphinx]

A

[heady parcel]

I'll definitely be more careful in the Forest next time I start a fresh world...

[indigo sphinx]

I was wearing a troll outfit with a chest plate and pants, and I just died, lol.

[fossil delta]

Joe and others indicated they are easy.

You need over 100 hp and the best shield.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm focused on building a house now, I only started exploring yesterday, on the 14th.

[silk token]

i wouldnt say bear is easy for a new player, easy on paper, as you can parry his swipe with mediocre meadows gear

but you probly have to die a few times like you did to be able to recognize the different attacks incoming

[indigo sphinx]

I'll use the tactic they suggested: I'll make a better bow and make plenty of fire arrows.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm terrible at parrying, but I have good aim. I've always killed a lot of rabbits in The Forest using the slingshot.

[timber marsh]

Next quest... tame and ride a lox all the way back to spawn on the other side of the continent...

[heady parcel]

Worst thing with dying the other night is that my cooking skill dropped again, takes years to gain a level and then one stupid gjall ambush and plop, all gain the last few weeks gone in one fiery cataclysm.

Combat skills recover quickly, stuff like fishing and cooking, not so much

[indigo sphinx]

Our cooking... I was level 6, but I'm playing alone and I don't know how to change the world settings, so the game is as it came downloaded.

[heady parcel]

Which is the best way. Never mind the skills really - they give nice extras but they aren't critical in any way.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, thanks for the tip! Do you think it's better to build the base near the spawn point at the beginning, or try to find a better location?

[heady parcel]

It's up to you really, if you find a spot that you feel HELL YEAH THIS IS MY HOME!!! then build there, otherwise I usually stick with a rudimentary hut near spawn until I have unlocked stone building and the longship, after that I spend some time exploring to find that PERFECT spot. When running a regular game without modifiers you'll have portals, so you can pick environment and beauty factor over practicality. Me, I'm on a no-portals run so I looked for a place near traders, with ocean access and as many biomes within sight as possible.

[indigo sphinx]

I don't think I have enough courage to go out to sea yet; I'm worse than Zoro when it comes to exploring the map.

[heady parcel]

ooooh Fish'n Bread be NICE stamina food

Never made it before since I've never bothered with higher level fish. Goddam.

[merry pebble]

Used to be the best one in the whole game before ashlands came 😄

[gray sand]

Fish'N'Bread sounds good IRL tbh.

[merry pebble]

Meh, i dont like fish much irl

[gray sand]

BLASPHEMY

[heady parcel]

I haven't dared set off for Ashlands yet, I know I'll be stuck there until I can get a stone portal up, so I'm over-prepping. The fish'n bread is part of that 😄

[dark coyote]

looks like a fish empanada

[gray sand]

What's next, Asatru says they don't like pineapple on pizza 😭

[merry pebble]

How did you guess?

[gray sand]

BURN THE WITCH

[undone forum]

…

[merry pebble]

Go put your sweet stuff somewhere it is wanted xD

-# Preferably to general xD

[gray sand]

Hey, phrasing..

[undone forum]

Pineapple on pizza is the greatest thing since the invention of Valheim, because obviously Valheim came first

[heady parcel]

Aright, gonna need a couple of more stacks of these fish before I dare sail for Ashlands, so it's goin' fishin' again...

[tacit crystal]

Same team. 🤝

[merry pebble]

Sane person spotted

[undone forum]

I think you mean insane

[merry pebble]

Nono, while i do make mistakes in writing somewhat often i took care i get this one right 😏

[dark coyote]

well, the i dea was that its a "hawaiian" pizza, with salty ham and pineapple, In my opinion its the tomato that doesnt fit, I tried to reinvent it once by making the sauce bbq, pineapple and honey, with onions and spam on top

[undone forum]

I am going to refer you back to this post

[undone forum]

I have no clue why it’s called “Hawaiian” pizza but it’s still good

[iron forum]

odin was just spying on me

[undone forum]

He likes to do that

[merry pebble]

He was checking on you how well you are doing on his quest 😄

[undone forum]

Gotta make sure you are doing things correctly

[heady parcel]

Dangit, Pizza talk... now I'm hungry again. Not that crazy about pinapple pizza myself but it doesn't make me go for torches and pitchforks. Had a bloody gorgeous pizza in Paris a couple of months ago - with chevre and smoked salmon. Gods, gotta try and recreate that.

[iron forum]

im about to sail to mountains

bonemass was easier than elder

[undone forum]

Ngl, that sounds really good. Might have to smoke some of my salmon and try that

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, good luck on your trip!

[dark coyote]

he is gauging your eyes

[fossil delta]

I liked it in Hawaii. Being the freshest pineapple I have ever had in my life definitely helped.

[heady parcel]

Sounds like the right way to have it alright.

By the way, how to find tuna? Wherever I go I just get coral cod eating all my heavy bait...

[fossil delta]

They still tend to be a little bit off shore, but not in the ocean. Still harder to find than they used to be.

[merry pebble]

Well, they are hard to find since they are deep in the ocean, so juts go somewhere in the middle and hope for the best probably

[fossil delta]

They are in ocean biome now? OK.

[merry pebble]

Afaik they always were 🤔

[tacit crystal]

They also like heavy bait.

I have slight recall they were somewhere else before, or needed regular bait to catch.

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah, heavy bait too. No, they were not always in the ocean.

[merry pebble]

Ah, no, you are right, they used to be of shore at meadows and BF 😄

[fossil delta]

Still are.

At least the ones I have caught.

[tacit crystal]

I think pikes, perches and tunas were the first fish before Mistlands.

[fossil delta]

Yes.

I have yet to notice any Tuna in the ocean. My wife has, but she rarely pilots the boat, so has more time to look.

[merry pebble]

7 February 2023 was the date wiki got changed that they spawn in ocean and not offshore of meadows and BF. Which would be after the mistlands got released 😄

[tacit crystal]

Tunas are quite fast swimmers, they sometimes can stray from ocean to shores.

[fossil delta]

They still are in those biomes., Or maybe still come in from the ocean biome. I have yet to catch one in the ocean biome.

It would explain why they have become so rare for me. I have to draw them in from the Ocean biome.

[heady parcel]

Confused pufferfish and coral cod are everywhere, but tuna are in hiding. Dammit. I thought I had all the tuna I needed but I remembered wrong or lost some when dying, need five more.

[fossil delta]

For the hat?

[heady parcel]

yeah

[indigo sphinx]

I'm getting a lot of seeds from the ocean, like spawning them on the seashore.

[fossil delta]

Seeds?

[iron forum]

wtf, 2 trolls invaded me and then despawned?

[fossil delta]

A raid.

[gray sand]

On the... seedshore? 😏

[merry pebble]

You had a raid i see 😄

[iron forum]

yea but they despawned

[fossil delta]

Raids despawn.

[iron forum]

[fossil delta]

Unless your fighting with them.

[indigo sphinx]

Yes, every time I spawn, the first thing I see is the sea or the river.

[iron forum]

i fought but then i guess i de aggroed them

[tacit crystal]

Different kind of despawning.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, if you take long enough recovering
HP

They usually walk away, so I can often chase them down and aggro them.

One even just walked all the way into the ocean.

[indigo sphinx]

From what I saw in a video, the fishing rod is quite difficult to find.

[fossil delta]

It is only in tetra caves.

[tacit crystal]

Or from trader.

[fossil delta]

Or you buy it from Haldor.

Its only free in those caves.

You still need basic bait from Haldor.

[indigo sphinx]

It must be expensive.

[merry pebble]

Nah 😄

[tacit crystal]

350 coins.

[fossil delta]

250 coin

Or 350, not too bad.

Cheap compared to the belt, etc...

[indigo sphinx]

I barely have 8 coins.

[fossil delta]

Raid more tombs, kill more trolls. etc...

[tacit crystal]

You'll find more treasures from dungeons.

Selling items with "valuable" tag to traders give you more coins.

[fossil delta]

The various stone structure, and partial structures, often have chests in them as well.

[indigo sphinx]

Okay, first I'll focus on the shelter, then I'll think about raiding the tombs.

[fossil delta]

So do a lot of old homes in the meadows.

In addition to Queen bees.

Any time you hear buzzing insects, find where they are.

Even in the Black Forest, just they are much rarer there. They only occur in one tower type.

Even then its maybe a 20% chance of having a hive.

[west pulsar]

Chat what do we think the deep north things are

[indigo sphinx]

Wow, that's very difficult to find then.

[merry pebble]

New weapons, enemies, armours, build pieces, materials... Stuff like that i am quite sure 😄

[west pulsar]

Yea but what specifically

[fossil delta]

They already specified steep roofing pieces.

[merry pebble]

For that we can only guess, and look at the snippets devs have shown us 🙂

[iron forum]

can trolls break stone walls or cage walls

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure we will finally see that limbless bear from our dreams.

[merry pebble]

Yep

[fossil delta]

Yep. Give them enough time and they will.

[summer star]

Trolls loves smashing

[gray sand]

can trolls break
Yes.

[fossil delta]

They have a hard time with Black Marble. Pretty sure they have a harder time with Ashlands materials.

[gray sand]

They get through it eventually.

[fossil delta]

Haven't tried them on that stuff. Yet.

They do. If you give them the time.

Of course, by the time you have those mats, you can kill them with 2 or 3 shots from pretty much any weapon.

Of those biomes.

[indigo sphinx]

I liked one area, now I'm building a house with a sea view, but I think it's going to turn out pretty ugly because I don't know how to build houses in this game.

[fossil delta]

Just takes practice.

Maybe watch videos for inspiration.

[indigo sphinx]

Okay, I'll try my best to do it.

[fossil delta]

Check out the build channels here.

Ask for tips/help in those channels as well.

#building-tips

[indigo sphinx]

This time I want to try to create something that comes to mind.

[fossil delta]

You can also learn by looking at the various structures in game. Tear them down, rebuild them, etc...

You stop being able to do that in Plains and Ashlands, but you can do that in Mistlands.

My favorite door is in Mistlands. So I had to tear down and rebuild its frame work a few times.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, thanks for the tip. I'll try to send a picture of the base of the floor later, but the graphics will be kind of ugly because my laptop can't handle the game with nice graphics.

[fossil delta]

I'm just glad your able to play it.

[indigo sphinx]

I sent a screenshot in the chat.

[fossil delta]

Mountains may be tough on it.

[fossil delta]

A good start. One thing to be aware of, your going to want to fortify your home before progressing much. Like the stake walls are good until you beat the Elder.

[indigo sphinx]

Google ChatGPT warned me that there are parts of the game that will run with lag, probably related to the mountain.

[fossil delta]

The snow storms can be rough on lower end processors.

Its fine in clear weather.

[crude turtle]

hi

[fossil delta]

You can find videos to optimize systems for Valheim on you tube.

[indigo sphinx]

Do you know of any channels that teach how to fix the settings well?

[fossil delta]

No, I just searched for Valheim specific videos at the time.

[gray sand]

Why are we trusting a text-generator for actual advice?

[tacit crystal]

-# Ps. Don't rely on AI for game info.

[fossil delta]

It wasn't highly accurate, but at least it wasn't completely wrong. This time.

Well, time for me to go play Valheim with my wife. Later.

[forest jacinth]

Google ai told me bears were tameable with salmon

[merry pebble]

Google AI is telling lies again 😄

[forest jacinth]

Never trust it

It'd be so great if you could turn it off without installing plug-ins and work arounds

[summer fern]

I so badly want to vent lol whenever I hear about that stuff. A slight crack in my resistance:
Well google needs some way to pointlessly pollute the environment for no gain.

[merry pebble]

It just told me you can find them in mountains... How can it be so bad?

[indigo sphinx]

I'm liking how the house is turning out.

[indigo sphinx]

Does the game have a season system?

spring or winter type

[vernal karma]

is there some poll out there for wich biome is best?

[silk token]

no

[silk token]

no need, it's obviously swamp

[indigo sphinx]

That's good, because the house ended up with a gap.

[silk token]

define... gap?

[indigo sphinx]

I'll send a picture of the finished house in the chat.

[silk token]

dont try to do it here you'll get timed out, post in screenshots

[indigo sphinx]

I can't send it, I have to wait 45 minutes now.

[paper marsh]

To be fair there is a lot of players with misconstrued perceptions of the game

If you can't play the game yourself it might be hard to filter the wrongs from the rights

Plus it's probably drawing info from mods too. Saw a clip the other day of someone fighting a 4 star grizzly bear in the mountains

[indigo sphinx]

I used the 45° wooden cross roof as a wall to finish off the roof section.

[indigo sphinx]

I lost to a starless bear, the bear is too much of a tank.

[paper marsh]

fact (protip though, use a ||torch || when fighting it)

[indigo sphinx]

Ah, but I was using a bow.

[tacit crystal]

Use slash weapon (axe, sword). Later you can make ||claw weapon out of their paws||.

[paper marsh]

Maybe that was your issue

Though I will say bows tend to be good against a lot of enemies once you get a bit of bow skill going

[indigo sphinx]

Okay, I'll try to gain experience with the axe so I can make the bronze one in the future.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm using the bow a lot to farm leather.

[tacit crystal]

If you don't have bronze weapons yet, flint axe deals best damage at that state, their one paw hits can be parried even with wooden shield, then dodge the stronger attacks. For dire situations equip torch so they avoid you.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm not good at parrying, so I'm just using the shield for defense.

[forest jacinth]

Are you never going for them or just inconsistent

[silk token]

man i am building a base and i have NO idea where im going with this... which is kind of cool cus im building like i never have before but its like AM I wasting hours here?

[paper marsh]

If you’re having fun with it it’s definitely not a waste

[indigo sphinx]

I did the same thing as you, I sent a photo in the photo chat and I thought the result was really cool, and it's just the initial base.

[silk token]

i AM.... im just also itching to have a place. i'm living out of carts and a longboat, some smelters plopped around and a bed under a copper node

im building like INTO the side of a stupid hill for the first time, i usually only ever do flat, but im doing a tiered underground but also above coastal thing.. its hard to describe. pictures eventualy

[indigo sphinx]

I tried to fight him in a true 1v1 but I died 4 times so I gave up and created this new save.

[silk token]

its all much more extravagant than ive done before, i usually like cool vibe functional and back to chopping

[versed vale]

any idea when the deep north is coming out?

[paper marsh]

Bears aren't the best to practice parrying against

Start with a greydwarf

[paper marsh]

Hmm, I have a guess: Within the next 1.5 years

Could be a wrong guess tho

[indigo sphinx]

Is it mandatory to learn the parry or can I play dirty with a bow?

[paper marsh]

You can totally beat the game without parrying. And bow will get you through just about anything

[silk token]

there are plenty of people who play the game by hiding up on things that are indestructable and shooting a bow at things

but the melee combat is good

[indigo sphinx]

I'll use the bow then because I think it's better to try and get better at parrying after getting to know the creatures and the game better.

[paper marsh]

Personally I play without bows because I find them cheesy

But that's just a personal decision, play what you like

[indigo sphinx]

So I think it's better if I try to learn the parry after I have better things like armor because right now it's difficult, I don't have the resources to make the shield and the leather I have now is only enough for the bow.

[paper marsh]

Yeah probably get a shield first (whenever it fits you), then practice parrying against weaker mobs

[indigo sphinx]

right

[silk token]

maybe for now work on dodge rolling well? cuz the timing to parry is exactly the same

you'll see little yellow sparkle when you dodged damage that would have hit you otherwise

[indigo sphinx]

Does the game have dodging mechanics?

[solar plaza]

I'd say if he struggles with both then blocking might be better to start with, at least he'll have a chance of blocking the hit if it's timed poorly.

[paper marsh]

Hold block, press space. It's a weird 2-button combination unlike most games

[indigo sphinx]

Which key is used for dodging?

[paper marsh]

When dodging you go invincible briefly, so even if hit you don't take damage (if timed right)

[indigo sphinx]

Wow, thanks! Now I think I have a chance against a troll.

[paper marsh]

You go get them!

Dodging well requires similar skill to parrying though 😅

[forest jacinth]

You can bind dodging to a key

[iron forum]

whats kinda annoyed me is how i cant bind my hotbar to other keys, having to reach anywhere past 5 is kind of annoying

[forest jacinth]

How are the mountains

[gray sand]

MMO mouse will be your friend.

[iron forum]

is this a mod?

[gray sand]

No? It's a type of mouse.

[forest jacinth]

A mouse with lots of buttons

[iron forum]

havent explored much, i just found one and logged off

[forest jacinth]

Same

[iron forum]

my mouse has 4 extra buttons on it

the issue is i cant rebind anything on the hotbar, the binds are very limited to only a handful of things

[gray sand]

[indigo sphinx]

A

[iron forum]

even if i had it, how would i bind them??

[gray sand]

Never have to reach past 5 because 1-12 are on your thumb.

[paper marsh]

Fine, I'd say. Range is your friend

[silk token]

oh my THATS whyyou haven't beaten a bear lol.

[vernal karma]

i think it's low, but i actually really like swamp

camp out in the trees with the bog witch, hopefully next to some surtling spawners. what isa better time.

[silk token]

i was rage baiting because i know people hate it, but i realy like it though too XD

[vernal karma]

yes, but you only need a wooden shield leveled up to 3 to block a bear, i think. as long as you eat 2 or 3 health-foods

[silk token]

i do no portal no map so i make a cool long spooky journey with houses and roll my heavy heavy cart full of ore through the spooky swamp, its great

[paper marsh]

Personally I love mistlands

Good weapons, good enemies, good environment, good friendlies

[indigo sphinx]

I bought the game yesterday and I only have about 6 to 14 hours of gameplay left.

[iron forum]

left?

[silk token]

??

[vernal karma]

right?

[paper marsh]

[paper marsh]

[indigo sphinx]

This must be insane.

[silk token]

after thousands of hours its so fun

[iron forum]

ur trying to fight a bear but only have 6 hours of gameplay left?

[vernal karma]

the gjall sound design is some of the best in any game

[indigo sphinx]

Yes, my friend gave me this idea to have a sincere 1v1 with a bear. On the first try, I was disarmed.

[paper marsh]

Maybe your friend just wanted you to get mauled by a bear

[indigo sphinx]

probably

[silk token]

Jeff what do you mean by "covering the gaps" with your house? i saw the pics with all the X's did you just mean walls or what?

[indigo sphinx]

Regarding the gaps in the x-axis, I thought it had a station system, and I was afraid that in the future the gaps in the x-axis would make it cold inside the house.

[silk token]

ah, ok. yeah no such thing. the only thing you need to worry about is if it counts as "shelter" which those X walls do shelter you

[indigo sphinx]

Ah, I'm going to make the walls out of wooden logs to increase the protection of the base.

[silk token]

you might be better off putting stakewalls around the base too. they're in misc. in the hammer menu

[iron forum]

is there a soccer discord

[silk token]

@indigo sphinx also if you're getting a lot of leather like you said, upgrade your crafting table and get some leather armor from the deerhide at least, that's gonna help a ton, i see you're in rags from the screenshot

[indigo sphinx]

I am currently exploring in search of wild boars and deer, and also looking for houses with chests.

[indigo sphinx]

Currently, I managed to get 12 boar hides and 2 deer hides, lol.

[silk token]

oh, lol. you said you were getting a "lot" of deer hide earlier-wait didn't you say you beat the first boss?

how did get enough deer trophies to summon eikthyr but only 2 deer hides?

[indigo sphinx]

I created a new game and a new world, and everything I did in the previous one is gone from here.

[silk token]

oh previous world, ok

[lone rampart]

Why is it every time I go to build, the freaking storm of the century rolls in?

But I got my tannery finished. One more building in the village!

[vernal karma]

sounds like that's no issue for you

[silk token]

its k you get that cool weathered look XD

[iron forum]

my base is just a very long I shape and idk if i wanna just restart and build something good looking, idek if my little area is a good spot for base

and i realized i have stone now too

[vernal karma]

have you done any smelting?

[iron forum]

im max iron age

[vernal karma]

make a base next to either bog witch or surtling spawners, maybe.,

[indigo sphinx]

I made mine near the spawn point to store items; when I get to the Bronze Age I'll try to make a nicer one.

I found my arch-enemy.

I found the Black Forest and the bear attacked me lol

[lone rampart]

Well you go and attack him right back! 😹

[indigo sphinx]

I ran away from him, I took two slaps, my life is around 60.

[lone rampart]

oof, you made the right call

Go train up, get some better gear, and THEN go attack him back!

[paper marsh]

Enemies spawn so slowly when Eikthyr rallies the forest :(

[void pecan]

so i have one question. did anyone actually make a larger version like mmo mod?

[paper marsh]

Sounds like a question for #mods-discussion

[void pecan]

good call!

[warped flower]

looking for a wife

[exotic silo]

I'm immune to all rallies since I made a base at a peninsula and have 2 greydwarves spawners nearby. raiders are busy fighting greydwarves rather than coming to my base lol.

[paper marsh]

Sounds unfortunate

[exotic silo]

got enough mats alr. dont need any raid resources

[paper marsh]

You can never have enough mats. Or combat skills

Hmm, employing a wolf to kill a troll for me was actually quite effective

[glad night]

@lone rampart what was the time I'd said about getting the wolf pelt?

Was it within 15 minutes, or 30?

Got it in ~23 minutes

.

[lone rampart]

You said within 30, good job!

[forest jacinth]

Don't kill dogs!

[rain flare]

Rallies? 😆
Are we having a speach on greydwarf rights or something? 🤣

[exotic silo]

for the sake of forest dweller rights!!!

valheim = deforestation.exe

Not sure what this is about but eh

[modest heron]

Its spam... I reported it... lol

[near furnace]

[modest heron]

There was another message a ways up saying they were looking for a wife... if anyone sees that one, report it... 🤣 spammers... ugh

@rain flare That village looks incredible, like a cosy haven in the midst of apocalypse. Great work! #building-screenshots message

I wish I got an eikythr raid when I was in the stone age

[rain flare]

Yeah its beautiful

I'd live in a place like that

[heady parcel]

Kinda glad anglerfish aren't hostile mobs. Caught a mere Q3 and it's bloody horrifying

[dim depot]

Guys, can i send modded valheim buildings on buildings chanel?

[heady parcel]

I'd say #mods-screenshots for that

[tacit crystal]

Modded content would go to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934384643154001

[dim depot]

Ok, thanks

[forest jacinth]

Aren't all the fish passive

[near furnace]

yup

[forest jacinth]

Speaking of if I see pufferfish in the ocean does that mean a mistlands is nearby

[heady parcel]

yes, I'm just happy about that, the anglerfish scare me!"

[heady parcel]

Not really, pufferfish are all over the ocean

[forest jacinth]

Oh

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but pufferfish can poison you on touch.

[forest jacinth]

Ah yeah I read it can be used to "peacefully" beat mistlands

[heady parcel]

Heh, in the middle of the ocean, suddenly there's trollfish all around me. No land in sight... But then I see some underwater rocks and glimpses of bottom. Bit of BF shallows, but not a single rock actually breaking the surface, kinda cool

[heady parcel]

You'd have to be absurdly patient, but in theory I guess it could be done...

[whole coyote]

Is there a way to keep a constant server up?

[tacit crystal]

Setting up a dedicated server.

[whole coyote]

I see I'll have to look into that

[tacit crystal]

There is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 where you can ask for more info. But in short, you either can use other PC where you set up the server or look for 3rd party host (with monthly fees).

[main spire]

hey guys ! I would like 2 suggestions,

I'm looking for a seed that has everything close by and a great setting for a main base
and would like suggestions for a main house for the same

[indigo sphinx]

Hey, good morning everyone!

[heady parcel]

For the first question, look in #1202740443352137838 and see if you find something you like. As for the second it is nearly impossible to suggest things - every player builds differently and has different preferences, but you can look for inspiration in the various building and screenshot channels. Also there are tons of awesome youtube videos showcasing cool builds, some of them with tutorials.

[mystic berry]

good morning guys

do crypt keys do not broke after used?

[nocturne wolf]

You can use one infinitely, you never need to fight bosses again

[mystic berry]

damn

i farmed the three so many times in preparation for the swamp

now all my keys are useless lol

not the keys, but my effort

[summer fern]

Well maybe can put extras on item stands for decoration, like having keys hanging next to a door.

[rugged bridge]

Who knows, maybe they'll break if you forcefully turn them the wrong way

[tacit crystal]

They emit light, so using them as light source on item stands is one idea.

[foggy glacier]

They make great exterior lights. I like to farm a bunch and line them up in a right row. When you approach your home, they look like a lightsaber lighting up

[indigo sphinx]

All that's missing is the helmet to complete the deer outfit set.

[tired path]

You never need to kill a boss more than once, unless you're playing on Hardcore mode and end up losing some drops like the aforementioned key

[dark flare]

You have taken one step closer being worthy of Valhalla.

[paper marsh]

Some bosses can be useful to get several drops from, but usually not needed

[heady parcel]

Some piss you off so much that you want another trophy, for your base, so you can insult them every day!

[remote zealot]

Looking for dev roadmap 2026 😭

[tacit crystal]

In short:

• PS5 release during 2026.

[paper marsh]

Mostly Yag

Moder if you have a lot of bases/outposts

Queen if you’re a terrible captain

[candid basalt]

I like killing Eikthyr so I can have awesome deer heads in my halls. And Moder for dragon head above fireplaces

[remote zealot]

Can’t plan my annual leave like that xD

[tacit crystal]

Well, that's all info we currently have about timelines.

Any info will be revealed in either https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506 regarding upcoming updates.
-# But no updates this year anymore.

[clever torrent]

We struggled through our first-ever Sealed Tower yesterday (Stagbreaker was great), and the chest reward was totally worth all the difficulty. 🐤

This is also the first time we've ever had chickens.

[vernal karma]

there is an iron version of that stagbreaker

[clever torrent]

I know, but we have no trophy for it.

Stubborn Elites.

[vernal karma]

go to a spawner and you should get it fast

[clever torrent]

Nah, not worth it.

[vernal karma]

take that time to level up some weapon class 🙂

[clever torrent]

I don't care for spawner farming.

[mystic berry]

does endgame ships have tools to break to rocks?

[eternal crow]

No

[paper marsh]

Annual leave? If you can leave for a whole year, taking 2026 off should have you covered

[lone rampart]

hmm...home with migraine and yet...drawn to play some Valheim. Because I'm sure staring intently at a brightly-lit screen will help!

[paper marsh]

Using stagbreaker in sealed tower theyre probably just exploiting the fact that the radius goes through walls and floors, in which case the actual damage doesn’t matter much

[lone rampart]

At least with my employer, "annual leave" is differentiated from sick leave, and you accrue both. Sick leave is for when you're home with a migraine and annual is when you're home with Valheim.

[paper marsh]

Maybe turn down the brightness

[paper marsh]

So if you take your sick and annual days at the same time, you can leave for two years???

[lone rampart]

lol

If only!

[clever torrent]

That is exactly what I was doing, yeah. Cheesed the miniboss, but also put out any lights that may have been in the tower... 🤣

[lone rampart]

I use ooze bombs in the tower. Gas the lil effers out!

[clever torrent]

I had forgotten bombs even exist. Never used them, but I will in the future.

[paper marsh]

I face them head on

But usually I get quite geared first

[clever torrent]

I thought of them in the middle of the fight.

[lone rampart]

SoftSnail is the hardest warrior of us all 😹

[clever torrent]

We were as upgraded with dark metal weapons as is possible at where we are in the game. I had maxed Fenris gear.

I hate heavy armour. Too slow.

[paper marsh]

I find movement matters little in confined spaces

[clever torrent]

I'm all about mobility.

[paper marsh]

I used to hate heavy armor but since ratatosk got introduced I kinda enjoy slotting some heavy armor and not getting oneshot

[lone rampart]

cries in mage

[heady parcel]

Run skill above 90 and ratatosk is all the mobility I need. Although I do keep fenris sets at all my outposts for speedy corpse runs.

[paper marsh]

That's a good philosophy

[fossil delta]

I like how people complain about the movement penalty of heavy armor. Like its crippling. Its what? A 10% penalty? It is the Tower Shields that really slows you down, but have no effect on rolling, and you can still out maneuver everything. Plus you have the R key. Whatever. I enjoy the heavy armor and Tower shields, regardless. I can still run at super human speeds too.

[silk token]

ive been enjoying my hard run slowly walking at things with heavy armor and battleaxe drawn, feels like the terminator

[summer fern]

So blob bombs actually spawn the creature? does it despawn ever?

[fossil delta]

So far we have killed them. So if they despawn, it takes longer than we have been willing to wait.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have been playing with the heavy armor and shields since nearly day 1. So I get the terminator vibe too. 😄

[summer fern]

Do they give normal drops when killed? or no drops?

[fossil delta]

You know, I am not sure. Its not something I have paid attention too. We usually have a lot of other stuff going on when we use them. My wife is the one who usually throws them, and I'd ask her, but she is working right now.

[summer fern]

I notice the frost blob does have a drop, so unless it is going to be in the deep north, it would be strange to give it a drop that couldn't ever be accessed if it is spawned from a vial. So I am guessing they do drop.

[fossil delta]

That would be my assumption as well.

I wanted to say I have seen them do their normal drop, I'm just not sure.

[paper marsh]

I think you’re just too used to slow movement speed

When you’re used to 100%, a -10% drop feels pretty bad. Especially early game when you don’t have much run skill to compensate for it and heavy armor barely gives more armor

[paper marsh]

Normal drops. Theyre just like regularly spawned version of the blobs

[summer fern]

Thanks

[paper marsh]

Theyre very effective on very hard. One regular blob can easily kill a group of 6 fulings

[tacit crystal]

Normal drops, frost blobs drop crystal tho.

[fossil delta]

Well, the opposite would also apply. Your right, though. I wear the light armors until I get iron. It does take me a little time to get used to it. Despite the fact that I have done this dozens of times now.

[paper marsh]

The opposite does apply. Which is why it feels crippling to a lot of people

[silk token]

i use and like both, but i also get used to both after a little while using them. idk i really like the feel of being fast and vulnerable or slow and sturdy. if you make the move speed less you gotta make the armor less
to balance

heavy and battleaxe has been fun on hard in swamp at least, thats as far as ive got in the hard run due to 3 year old. the skeletons plinking arrows off me dont matter so i can scary walk at the draugr, if i was in light armor id be running by the arrows and they wouldnt matter,
different styles to negate threat

[fossil delta]

Saying its crippling is overly dramatic, its just very noticeable. Eventually you get used to it. Like I posted earlier, you still move faster than anything else in game once your skill gets decently high. Newer players who still die all the time and are lucky to get skills above 30 probably suffer the most from it. So they probably also benefit the most from armor bonus'. My run and jump is usually around 90 by the time I am going into the Mistlands, so by then its pretty much a non issue to me. I can outrun squittos until I stop running. In heavy armor. So that penalty doesn't bother me. When I use the run mead or lightfoot, or both, I become even more super human than I already am. So the additional reductions or increases given by the light armors is just over kill to me. If people feels like it makes them less likely to die, or better at fighting, more power to them.

[paper marsh]

I think it’s good theyre different, I wouldn’t want it to change. I use both a lot too

[fossil delta]

I feel the extra damage reduction heavy armor gives me is more likely to keep me from dying. Especially from attacks I fail to see coming. So I prefer to wear it. Especially starting with the swamp biome.

[paper marsh]

Run does level pretty fast, but on a spear run my spear skill def levels faster

[fossil delta]

Depends. I always run, and I jump like I am Tigger from Winnie the Poo all thet ime. I do things like put my bee hives on top of my buildings, so I have to jump a lot to empty them. So my run/jump skills stay on par with my weapons. I also do not put steps on my walls, so I have to jump up on them. So I am soon able to just jump up on top of the tombs in the black forests, and the crypts in the swamps.

[nocturne wolf]

Do you jump in combat? I know you don’t parry or roll so I’m guessing no.

[fossil delta]

No, I am too busy attacking when not blocking.

I only do things like that when I decide I am about to get over run, so need to get away.

[paper marsh]

Spears just level unnaturally fast

Not sure why. Maybe devs felt bad for them having pierce damage

[fossil delta]

I've never used them for long. Usually just in the beginning, because I can't stand that first bow.

[paper marsh]

They attack super fast and get more xp per hit than any other melee weapon. Which is a weird combination

But yeah run goes fast in general, and jump goes fast depending on play style

[fossil delta]

I knew they were fast, at least animation wise. They start that way, like knives. I didn't know about the damage.

[glad night]

I typically use the flint knife, instead of the spear

Can’t stand the crude bow either lol

[fossil delta]

I sometimes do that too. I just use the spear when I don't want to spend the time sneaking, so just throw it.

[silk token]

spear is absolute best in slot early game for hunting and fighting. ambushing 3 deer with spear(s) is great

[fossil delta]

That is my biggest problem with spears. Ideally you carry multiples of them.

[paper marsh]

Knife and spear both feel great

But spear feels a bit more powerful early

[silk token]

why is that a problem? its awesome carrying multiple, its like a bow you never have to draw back

[paper marsh]

I suppose if you’re substituting bows with them entirely on a range heavy play style

But their real potential is melee

[fossil delta]

Have you not seen all the complaints about item slots? 😄 😄

[silk token]

they're also fine to melee with, or throw and immediately pick up again

[silk token]

lol ofc, i didnt think about that, im not one of those

i bring everythign i own after beating eikthyr into the bf, i know when to stop hunting boar/deer cuz i want to hold exactly a stack of hide, etc.

[fossil delta]

I'm not either, but if I had to use spears, I would be.

[silk token]

imean you dont NEED multiple, you can throw, pick up, throw, pick up, stab stab pretty seemlessly

[glad night]

Unless playing with friends
“Throw, friend picks up while fighting, where’s my spear”

Rinse repeat haha

[paper marsh]

Imo the throw is for a nice backstab or to kill deer, or to transition into a melee engage

But my main use of spears is the actual melee

[silk token]

same. hunting, or parrying a greydwarf rock and throwing back at him XD

[fossil delta]

Doesn't feel that seemless to me. Probably due to lack of practice.

[silk token]

have you seen my hunting video?XD thats smooth as glass theres no seems

[paper marsh]

Probably. The instant equip is super nice

Plus you don't have any movement penalty from weapons when running over to pick it up

[fossil delta]

No, I rarely watch videos of game play.

[paper marsh]

There are watchers and there are gamers. Robert is a gamer

[silk token]

ohi think i only youtubed it not put in clips anyway

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I'd much rather be playing it, not watching it being played.

Especially Valheim.

[paper marsh]

Robert you should try a run with no shields, no heavy armor, and no 2 handed weapons or swords or maces

Be a nimble assasin and tell us how much you hate it

[fossil delta]

My wife does all that, except maces. She also does not dodge roll.

[silk token]

i just stuck it in clips, it's 3 different ways to kill 3 deer at once without them getting away XD

[fossil delta]

Until recently she went all the way well into Ashlands in Root Armor.

[paper marsh]

Maybe you guys should switch roles on opposite day

[silk token]

also i need finewood and im next to the plains, but im in swamp atm, and on hard and hardcore death, so maybe there's another interesting clip coming in a bit...

[fossil delta]

I have been using her "savage aggression" more often. It is effective, in certain situations. She dies too often for me to adapt the rest of her play style. Even though she dies far less often than I thought she should.

[silk token]

i seriously wonder if you'd like battleaxe, its savage aggression and heavy armor friendly

[fossil delta]

I do use them, just not exclusively. Sledges too.

Sledges I used pretty much exclusively in dungeons, until Ashlands.

In Mistlands I used them for the blood sucking swarms. IE ticks. In Ashlands, its always swarms. So...

[silk token]

wellp now its night in the plains, 2 biomes down, on hard with hardcore death next to the mistlands... but my axe still has half durability left....

[fossil delta]

Ashlands has been making me appreciate durability much more. Its why I hate only being able to get to lvl 2 gear. 😄 So I am glad older gear works fine.

[glad night]

Find a rock 🪨

🤷🏻‍♂️

[fossil delta]

Rocks don't work well with battle axes.

[silk token]

i need wood not rocks

i chopped a tree that rolled into the mist XD at night.

[fossil delta]

2 star soldier is on its way!

Or at least a seeker.

[glad night]

*rock for the night…

[silk token]

wellp 4 stacks of finewood going home, very uneventful im disappointed. 4 skeeters and some 1 stars, no mist things

[fossil delta]

Surprising.

[silk token]

i could see things in the mist with the wet debuff moving around XD

[glad night]

Can you imagine if Valheim had a twitch integration similar to 7 days to die?
Spawning enemies etc lol

[fossil delta]

Hares.

IF they didn't attack, it was Hares. Its how I often shoot them.

[silk token]

probly ya

i almost went in to see if i could get some meats XD

[fossil delta]

Every time I go work my plains farm, I get a Gjall threatening me. So of course, I then get it to come out onto the plains to play. So strange, to me, that you can cut down wood, and get nothing but Hares running around.

Especially at night.

[silk token]

!!!!!!!!!! did they add water drip effects to ceilings above you????

how have i never noticed this! half of the floor above me doesnt have a roof and the boards look wet and are dripping slow drips down

[summer fern]

Does combining stone pillars with iron pillars inside then boost both of their integrity?

[silk token]

yes

[summer fern]

Thanks, just need lots of strength for my 3 story storage area plan.

[flat reef]

Can somebody help me? Everytime i try to mine copper in the black woods i get swarmed by greydwarfs, i dont know what to do

[gray sand]

Build a wall around your copper node?

[fossil delta]

Not mining at night helps.

Also, they fear fires.

[round shard]

don't mine at the night that will help and remember fire , they dont like fire

[flat reef]

This happens in the day too

[summer fern]

Wait grey dwarfs fear fire? Like torches and such?

[flat reef]

Even chopping down trees is impossible

[fossil delta]

Is a spawner near by?

[flat reef]

i tried taking a Spawner down but there were so many i couldnt do it

[nocturne wolf]

How many do you mean by being swarmed? You can probably continue mining with 1-2 around

[flat reef]

Like more than 10

[nocturne wolf]

yeah you'll need to take out that spawner

[fossil delta]

Thats not normal. Must be one or more towers near by too.

[round shard]

spawner is roots with purple in it

[gray sand]

Build a wall around your copper node...

[nocturne wolf]

that's so unnecessary

[flat reef]

Wouldnt they just destroy it?

[gray sand]

It's cheap and effective.

[nocturne wolf]

but doesn't involve killing things

[gray sand]

They don't attack anything if they can't see you.

[fossil delta]

They need to be killed sooner or later.

[flat reef]

Alright i'll try it tomorrow

[summer fern]

A bow from a distance I think can be useful for taking down spawners.

[fossil delta]

Grey dwarves are easy to kill even in Meadows gear. Its the brutes and shaman you have to worry about.

[flat reef]

even if i take down the spawner there are still too many of them to be taken care of

[fossil delta]

This works, yes.

[flat reef]

i think its like 2 spawners really close togheter because i counted something like 15

[fossil delta]

Find a different copper node, then, until you feel comfortable wiping these dwarves out.

[glad night]

Is there a red circle on your mini map?

[flat reef]

No??

[glad night]

Good

[fossil delta]

Yeah, shouldn't be a raid.

[flat reef]

i mean i'll try but everytime i try to mine anything anywhere some always come to check

[glad night]

Only time I’ve seen 15

[fossil delta]

Probably just a bad spot, with too many spawners and towers near by.

[glad night]

You can raise the ground around the node, to make your wall

They can’t break that

[fossil delta]

They can climb it, though, if you don't make the walls high and steep enough.

[glad night]

But, if you dig a pit for the node as well, that also usually works. One or two will fall in occasionally, but otherwise alright

You need to dig the pit anyway, to access the full node

[fossil delta]

With 15 or more, they will push a lot of each other into the pit.

[flat reef]

and what about if i need wood and i need to chop some trees?

[fossil delta]

You only need the BF for core wood. Meadows gives you plenty of wood.

[glad night]

Collect some wood first, so you can build a stairway

[flat reef]

i'll try to take out the spawners whit arrows so they dont see me

[heady parcel]

That's a solid strategy with any spawner, throughout the game

[silk token]

theres a very overpowered mechanic in this game called "walking away". enemies stop to swing at you and as long as you're walking away from them they miss. just take your time and/or use a torch against grey creatures

[fossil delta]

That only cuts down on their resupply of troops. You will still need to kill them. Your probably better off just finding a copper node in a different area.

[flat reef]

so i just walk away whit all of them following me?

[fossil delta]

The fire will scare them, make them scatter randomly. They will come back at you, though, just not en masse.

[glad night]

The implication was that he’d find a new node, away from this group he’d found

[silk token]

walk, and stop to hit any when there's only 1 or 2 about to swing at you

im just saying theres no way you can be overrun by just greydwarves, if you're literally just walking you cant die

[flat reef]

And if theres more than 10?

[fossil delta]

Shaman poison can still get you.

[flat reef]

I mean thats what worries me, i can take care of normal greydwarfs but not whit shamans

[fossil delta]

I'd just find another node. Your going to probably need two nodes anyways.

After you get one node processed, you will be more than powerful enough to handle the tougher dwarves.

[flat reef]

seems reasonable

but my dark forest is like FILLED whit spawners, i cant walk for 20 seconds whitout running into one, i dont know if its normal

[heady parcel]

With those spawners, I usually run in and destroy them before they can start spitting out dorfs

[fossil delta]

Especially if you parry, and use the bronze buckler.

They are semi common, but not literally every 20 seconds kind of common.

[flat reef]

theyre that close

[fossil delta]

Maybe a minute or three.

[flat reef]

i wish, when i entered the biome i was almost always crouched down because there were so many of them whit all the spawners

[fossil delta]

Then find another BF entirely. IF you have the usual kind of starter island, you can walk/run to 3 different ones, or more. Maybe do a little bit of swimming.

If you have that bad of a starter island, create a new world.

[heady parcel]

I'd also, eventueally, make a focused effort at knocking out those spawners

[fossil delta]

Eventually, its just too much in Meadows gear, especially since there are probably multiple shaman and brutes.

[heady parcel]

Fire arrows are very effective btw (especially with fire hazards enabled, but without too)

[flat reef]

I can take out the spawners the problem are the hordes of greydwarfes surrounding it

[fossil delta]

Heck, I had a 2 star brute show up in my current play through with my wife.

It came from a spawner, in the day time.

[heady parcel]

Those are actually not to be underestimated even in swamp gear, they hit like trolls

[fossil delta]

Not only did it spawn in the day time, but it spawned with another normal brute. That was fun.

Those bastards followed me around like dogs.

[heady parcel]

It's a good idea to knock the spawners out before they are activated by you getting near them. If you knock them out from a distance they don't get to spawn anything, or just one or two.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, you have to see them first, though. The BF is hilly. So blocks line of sight a lot.

[heady parcel]

With the ones that already have a horde around them, you can destroy them before the dorfs reach you, then run away and later kill the dorfs one by one. Guerilla tactics!

[heady parcel]

You usually hear them before you see them to be fair

But that sounds like a really hostile Black Forest in general...

[fossil delta]

It does. Which is why I'd find another forest, see if its as bad. If it is, I'd make a new world.

I'd consider that one glitched. Whether it is or not.

[heady parcel]

Or an afk farmer's wet dream

[fossil delta]

True. 😄

Experienced Valheimers can likely handle all that, but for new players? A nightmare scenario.

[heady parcel]

I hated those spawners when I was new, for a long time I thought they were where all the dorfs came from, so I hunted them actively and destroyed them all. But the dorfs kept coming...

Burial Chambers are even more creepy now with the new ghosts, they make eery noises

[fossil delta]

I was really noticing that yesterday.

Ran into two of them at the same time too. First time, ever.

In a tomb. Raids are a different story.

[heady parcel]

I love the ghost raid

[fossil delta]

I love the chains.

What is it called? Chill down your spine, or something?

[heady parcel]

Yeah something like that

[fossil delta]

I get most of my trophies from that raid too.

[heady parcel]

Found a small BF island that has an unporportionate amount of burial chambers. Must be some kind of ancient burial grounds

Going to name it Bone Island

Also had a troll cave with a 2-star inhabitant that was waiting just inside the door, gave me a bit of a scare

Never seen them stand there unless I've already been inside and pissed them off, but I know for certain I have noot been here before

[fossil delta]

I'm in my favorite part of the game in my solo play. Running the plains, looking for Yag, and wiping villages off the map.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Normally they are in the back, but I have found them by the door a few times, starred or not.

[heady parcel]

Small island, burial chambers all around it - two just beside this cave. I suppose he heard me up in instance heaven and woke up and walked to the door to greet me

[rain flare]

Most likely yes

Always such a big scare for me when I’m in an infested mine near a queen spawner and you just hear her making noises

Would be very cool if you could just walk from one mine into another or directly into the citadel

[heady parcel]

Oh heavens had I heard that in a mine I would have just turned around and left!

[mystic berry]

i just found a witch in the swamps close to a boss summonner

btw, what should i look for before fight the swamp boss?

i did an two handed axe and leveled him to t4

[silk token]

i do a sneaky move when i’m in black forest dungeons, after i clear it i throw my spear on the way out to see if i hear skeletons, if i do i know theres another dungeon nearby

[silk token]

that’ll do, health food and poison resist and its hard to lose

[fossil delta]

Excellent! Be sure to visit her after every boss is defeated.

[dreamy kiln]

well done 🙂

and hey Robert ofc 🙂

[mystic berry]

Oooooh i will

[heady parcel]

5 serpents in one night, that's a lot even for me

6

[mystic berry]

im already on t3 with the abomination set, so im ok with poison, maybe i should use healing potions instead of poison resists isnt? i watched in a video that the potions and the armor resists dont stack

or should i use the iron set with poison resist?

[heady parcel]

They don't stack, but the potion is stronger. I'd pop a poison resist anyway, and keeping health meads on hand is always a good idea.

[mystic berry]

oh i see, maybe the iron set is a best aproach them, just pop my poison resist potion before the bossfight

[heady parcel]

That's how I usually do it 😄

[mystic berry]

im already good with food to, did a lot of shaggies

[heady parcel]

But there not one method, anything that makes you win is right!

[mystic berry]

hahahaha

[heady parcel]

Gods, this trip up North to fish salmon caused a lot of serpent collateral - 45 serpent meat...

[paper marsh]

If only you were at the stage of the game where serpent meat is insanely OP

[heady parcel]

It is still great everyday food, and I have meat enough to use serpent stew as base loitering food

With this haul, nearly six full stacks of meat

Been sailing a lot...

[paper marsh]

sounds like it

I'm surprised you're going for so much fish

[heady parcel]

I just want that hat

Never bothered much with fishing before actually, but now that I've started I have to see it through. Only need the Ashlands fish now

Kinda interesting that fishing salmon gave me two silver bars. Not ore, but actual bars. What do those fish eat?!?

[heady parcel]

Haha I love the fish'n bread. Just wrap the entire fish in dough and bake it, EZ

[paper marsh]

Yeah I never make that one

Think I've maybe made 1 or 2 in my 850 hours

Just feels so expensive

[heady parcel]

It's the best stamina food outside Ashlands, and 30 minutes duration to that, so I want a few stacks with me when I sail for the South

[paper marsh]

Just doesn't feel like a big difference to me

But what do I know, I don't really use stamina foods anymore 😅

[heady parcel]

The duration makes a noticeable difference, dropoff is slower so those slightly better stats stay higher a little longer. But most of all you get the same duration on all foods, I get anxiety by stamina foods ticking down faster haha

[paper marsh]

Maybe you need to eat 3 feasts 😎

Those are harder to carry around tho, but once you get your ashlands base set up at least

[heady parcel]

Can't bring feasts along on my travels, not in a practical manner anyway. No-portals being no-portals. On a regular run I'd probably be using the feasts a lot more. Now I have them when in base and when I set out.

Yeah once set up in Ashlands I'll probably carry foods a lot less. Not expecting to spend any nights out in the open there, not in a long while! 😅

[paper marsh]

Plan on doing any catapult viking launching? Or just stoneportals?

[heady parcel]

Well, I have to make a catapult and try it once, but precision is a worry

[paper marsh]

On no map it does sound like quite the worry

Unless you're doing it as a short distance way to explore the Ashlands

[fossil delta]

How would you be sure to not land in lava?

Right in the middle of a huge lake of it.

It irritates me when I find a stonehenge and there is nothing in it. No beserkers, no chest, no marker for Yag. I felt better after recruiting some lox and 2 beserkers from a near by village to destroy the stones.

[silk token]

i stopped looking for the stupid marker ever because of the fakeouts. my plains biome experience is raiding the coasts like a real viking and smashing and looting every camp until i see the big spooky fingers.

know what i would LOVE is some way to turn blackmetal into iron or something useful because its usually coming out my ears

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I often end up with at least a BM chest full of black metal. Nearly as often, I get well on the way to filling up a second chest.

As for Yag, I am first and fore most sailing around looking for those claws. Just along the way I land to wipe out villages and hunt Lox.

[forest jacinth]

I have more bm than silver

[fossil delta]

I might end up with just a quarter Iron chest full of Silver. I never have nearly as much silver as I do black metal. I only come close with iron.

[forest jacinth]

I was just laughing at how I've killed fulings but have yet to find a mountain with silver

Its been a week since ive played though

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I usually have small mountains around spawn. This time I have a rich mountain very close to my main base.

Like a 3 minute run away from my base.

The only thing they need to do is add a reinforced wooden beam using black metal instead of iron. Same function, same stability - just a good use for all that goddamn black metal! Although as someone suggested a while back, an alloy between silver and black metal as the Deep North metal would be cool to, another metal you mine would feel meh after flametal and all that came before.

Or some other form of treating existing metal to make Deep North stuff.

[fossil delta]

I'd be surprised if they have a new set of armor and weapons for Deep North. I am thinking they may have us just work to get the next 2 levels. Since we have no biome to go to afterwards.

Aside from the afterlife in Valhalla.

I sure as heck hope I'm not going to need flametal in DN though

[fossil delta]

We only have lvl 2 Flametal gear.

So we are going to need more of it.

I already have a couple hundred stock piled.

[heady parcel]

You can get lvl 3 flametal armour though, or do I remember wrong?

It's the gemmed weapons that are 2 max I think

[merry pebble]

Lvl 3 should be possible to get

[fossil delta]

Hmmmm ... I think your right. I think my shield is lvl 3, as well as the rest of it.

Just not weapons.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, non-enchanted stuff has max lvl 3 🙂

[raw token]

@ripe walrus You do need more than 1 of each - 1 to give to her, and 1 to put in your treasure room 😉

I remember ragequitting on my gemmed sword breaking so quickly that I started carrying Mistwalker again

[fossil delta]

Yep. I kept carrying 2 weapons too.

[light moat]

I like using non-enchanted weapons for that extra durability. Not the main reason I use them, but definitely one reason.

[mystic berry]

since i grab my bown and bear fists i belive i´ve been carrying four weapons aways

[fossil delta]

Well, even weapons like Frostner and the silver sword are still very viable in Ashlands. So its not like we have only a couple of weapons to choose from as back ups.

[heady parcel]

I tend to carry the I-win-stick, sword and bow, and if I expect to need cutting wood, the axe as well

[fossil delta]

Technically I always have 3 melee weapons, because I always carry an axe.

I have only ever worn out one weapon, though.

[heady parcel]

My last long trip I came back home with the shield at 20% and all melee weapons except the flametal axe broken...

Bow was broken too, which made sailing nervous work that trip home

Fortunately when your in open water, and have the wind in your favor, you can out run the serpents.

[heady parcel]

Yeah I left a few behind

Stash an extra bow/arrows in your ship cargo

[fossil delta]

I rarely ever use that power. So I'd have to turn to get the favorable wind. So hopefully I'd be able to do that.

[heady parcel]

Lesson learned - but I wasn't expecting to be out THAT long

[fossil delta]

Yeah, this is your first time. You actually have me thinking about doing a no portals run.

I seriously doubt I will, but I am thinking about it.

[heady parcel]

It is a totally different experience. Not recommended if gametime or patience is rare, but to me it has been great.

[silk token]

do ittttt.. no portals AND no map! you can always turn it off but you gotta feel it once

[heady parcel]

Ah well, I think it is time to get ready for Ashlands, need to ship some stuff down to my outpost down south and stop procrastinating...

[fossil delta]

I'll never do no map. I am serious when I say I have a hard time finding my way even with the maps.

[heady parcel]

Yeah no-map is a bit too much for me too I think, but I have thought about it. Would need to build sea marks around the coasts and make charts or I would be constantly lost. But I would like a soft-mode no-map where you could use the cartography table to look at the map, but no M-key.

[fossil delta]

Time for me to go find some more fuling villages, and maybe Yag. Later.

[silk token]

cartography table m button would be so cool. if ever i was to install a mod it might be that

[ripe walrus]

I’ve still got 1 too many then

[tepid prawn]

Yes portals, no map is quite fun actually, we are playing that on my server this time for a bit of a change, portals make it much much easier!

[silk token]

easier, yes. i often allow myself portals once i hit ashlands, but i’ve also loaded my boat full and built a fully functioning base in ashlands too, that was a fun challenge

[opaque berry]

how many surtling cores should i get in my initial crypt

[indigo sphinx]

Good evening everyone
