[solar plaza]

You mean burial chambers?

[opaque berry]

oh, yes. sorry

[solar plaza]

Those are a bit random, I feel like there usually is at least 1 in them and I've found 6-8 when I was lucky. (tho I think I might have found 1 or 2 BCs with none.)

[opaque berry]

i found 4, you need 5 for a smelter right? so should i go for like, 10-15 just to be safe / have spare?

[solar plaza]

Honestly as many as you can get would be good.

But I'd go for 20, two shelters and two furnaces

Smelters*

[pliant hatch]

If you play with Portals on, you will need a lot more than 15.

You may need 20 for 2 Charcoal Kilns and 2 smelters, then at least 4 to craft 2 portals.

Later you will also need them for the blast furnace and the Staff of Embers.

[tacit crystal]

5 would be minimum as you can dismantle smelter/kiln to swap to another for what you need. But more is comfortable, and you need cores for ||portals|| too.

[pliant hatch]

The good news is, you will be able to "farm" them in the Swamp Biome. Making getting them a lot easier.

However, the benefit of the burial chambers are the gold and gems you get there, as well as the bones you will be needing later in the Ashlands.

[opaque berry]

what do the gold and gems actually do

[solar plaza]

They buy stuff :3

[pliant hatch]

You need that to buy items at one of the three traders you will encounter at some point.

[solar plaza]

And a lot of gold is good

[indigo sphinx]

Today I was chased. I was collecting some strange items when 2 bears and 5 greyhounds appeared. I've never been so scared and afraid of dying in a game as I was today.

[mystic berry]

hello guys, jenuine question

do boss summoning materials have some use in endgame?

[indigo sphinx]

In short, I made the bronze pickaxe and the bronchus, and now I'm making charcoal because I got 5 of the things I need to make the furnace from the two caves I went to.

[robust token]

Decorations :>

[mystic berry]

i think my 90 dried bones gonna be decorating the thors trash smiter

[robust token]

I haven't seen anyone decorate with Wither Bones yet

[solar plaza]

Or you could fight boneless 9 times

Bonemass dammit

[robust token]

Boneless ha

[opaque berry]

you can just ignore kilns and mass burn food or burn wood piles right?

[mystic berry]

it was already an hell doing two times

[robust token]

It's easy after getting magic

[mystic berry]

what is this? kilns?

[solar plaza]

Or learning how to parry

[indigo sphinx]

The furnace only works with coal and consumes a lot of coal.

[robust token]

You can make a Surtling farm

[mystic berry]

i bought an banquet plate with the witch early but i have really no idea how i prepare an banquet yet lol

[robust token]

Lol

You will need iron to make the Preparation Table

[pliant hatch]

You will be able to if you have unlocked all foods from a biome and have discovered Iron.

[indigo sphinx]

now that it's day 7

[mystic berry]

thats strange, i have the preparation table but i only know how to prepare fish and some baits

[paper marsh]

You could mass burn food but it would be a massive time and resource waste

You can burn wood piles but only with fire tick on. Otherwise you need a kiln

[mystic berry]

do i have to try fishing to unlock more recipes them?

[pliant hatch]

Means you haven't unlocked all foods from a biome.

Or haven't bought the herbs from the Bogwitch.

Or both.

[robust token]

Or haven't fought Elder..?

[indigo sphinx]

I'm burning wood after I make 200 coal, then I break the coal furnace and make the ore furnace.

[mystic berry]

oh yeah i didnt bought the weed yet

you enlightened me now

[indigo sphinx]

I still need to defeat him too, but I think I'll leave it for later. I think he must be stronger than the bear.

[mystic berry]

i im at early just like you, he is easy if you have a bronze buckler

i beated him using the bronze buckler and a bronze axe

[indigo sphinx]

I don't know how to parry.

[mystic berry]

you will start training it right now lol

just use defend imput when a enemy trys to hit you until you mastered

[pliant hatch]

Use the other mouse button as the one you attack with.

Or change to bow and fire-arrows to kill him.

Just as long as you keep moving and use the pillars to hide for his attacks you'll be fine.

You can even dug out under his altar if it's high enough to create a shelter. Once you reach the center of it, you will actually get a small rested bonus from the fire you use to make the sacrifice.

[mystic berry]

i changed my imput to defend on right mouse button and it has been really good.

[indigo sphinx]

I already killed the first boss, now I'm just missing the second one, but I'll wait until I make better armor and a bow.

[pliant hatch]

You won't be able to get (much) iron if you don't defeat the Elder.

Unless you're willing to use a glitch.

[indigo sphinx]

I want to defeat the elder, but right now I'm too weak, so I won't try to face a being superior to a bear with a paper defense.

[pliant hatch]

What do you consider a paper defence?

[indigo sphinx]

And I also want to play the game and enjoy the scenery, so I'll try not to rush through everything at once.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm still wearing the full deerskin outfit.

[mystic berry]

start slowly and enjoy the experience, im loving this game because its an survival who are really slow compared to every other game least for me

[iron forum]

yo

[mystic berry]

nothing is giving more satisfaction them filling my longship with 30 stacks of iron right now

[iron forum]

lost to him in bronze armor, got troll armor plus higher level axe and won, and 120 fire arrows

[mystic berry]

the new bear armor is an absolute must have to

[indigo sphinx]

So I started playing yesterday, defeated the first boss, and now I'm enjoying it. I built my house, I'm going to try to build a wall now and maybe try to hunt a bear later today.

[mystic berry]

niiiiceee

[mystic berry]

if you got lucky you can drop his head for the helmet

[indigo sphinx]

Do you think a birch bow is any good against a bear with plenty of fire arrows?

[iron forum]

try it

[mystic berry]

it will be too slow, but its the right way for some one who had low armor

[iron forum]

ruining your experience by just being guided by others here

[indigo sphinx]

I'll try to improve to level 2 and I'll get the arrows ready.

[mystic berry]

try not running away tho, stick close to his attacks and walk towards him

when he attacks you keep walking around his left and them shoot him

[indigo sphinx]

Ok

[timber marsh]

bruh i made a new world just to test something... and the seed is so much better than the one we have been playing for months lol

[mystic berry]

´´been playing for months´´

[paper marsh]

what about it?

[steel mica]

You can duplicate stone

Interesting

[iron forum]

can duplicate everything

[indigo sphinx]

I killed a bear and it dropped 4 pelts and 1 claw.

It was in the fiery arrow and a dream.

[paper marsh]

One more paw and you can make a weapon

[mystic berry]

im really addicted to this game, soon i will be like him.

nowdays i almost dont spend so many time in a game, only diablo 2 and 4 from time to time.

[indigo sphinx]

I've been here for 26 hours, half of which I've spent dying from the cold.

[timber marsh]

this seed dark forest is literally next to spawn...

been trying to kill this bear

[mystic berry]

Lol, how are you being purged by cold? Dont go to mountain areas jeff

[indigo sphinx]

I was freezing cold that night, lol, I always forget to put fuel in the campfires.

[mystic berry]

It dosnt matter if starts snowing

You will 100% die

[indigo sphinx]

I'll only explore the snow when I have warm clothes.

[paper marsh]

Doesn't have to snow

You take damage either way

[fossil delta]

Sounds like he was using the campfire trick. Snowing puts those out.

[indigo sphinx]

I don't know, there's the dragon, the golem, and the wolf.

[fossil delta]

Do you know about the frost resistance mead?

[indigo sphinx]

Oh no

[fossil delta]

Have you built a fermenter?

[indigo sphinx]

Snow will be the last biome I go to.

[fossil delta]

Its the 4th one your supposed to go to. Meadows to Black forest to swamp to mountains to plains.

[timber marsh]

take out a couple wolves

[indigo sphinx]

I'm only on day 12, man, how am I supposed to have that?

[fossil delta]

I'm just asking since it sounds like your already going into the mountains.

IF your day 12 you not even ready to finish the Black Forest.

[indigo sphinx]

I had to fight a hard battle to kill a single bear; imagine a wolf that only comes in a pack.

[timber marsh]

dig a hole 😉

[fossil delta]

Depends. In the day time they are in singles and pairs. At night you can get more, as well as starred wolves.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm still exploring the border between the Pardo and the Black Forest; I won't delve into it further yet.

[timber marsh]

we just discovered a frost cave

[fossil delta]

However, its best if you stay out of the mountains until your done with swamps.

[timber marsh]

brb

[indigo sphinx]

Wow, that swamp must be tough.

[fossil delta]

Its usually the first really deadly experience for new players.

[echo wind]

Initially yes. It'll be a breeze once you get used to it 😄

[fossil delta]

Well, you always have to be careful. Be alert.

[echo wind]

Especially at night

[fossil delta]

Best to stay out of there at night. Not that I listen to my own advice.

[indigo sphinx]

Is there anything worse than a bear coming out at night?

[fossil delta]

In the Black Forest? No. But more dwarves come out, and more of them are starred.

[indigo sphinx]

I'm managing to deal with the blue and red dwarves of 1 to 2 stars, and I ran when I saw one with a stone in place of a hand.

[fossil delta]

Sounds like the brutes. Yeah, the 2 star is tough.

[indigo sphinx]

The blue ones are very annoying, and so are the Shamans.

Should I make the copper breastplate or should I just make the axe and look for trolls?

[silk token]

i feel like you can kill trolls easier than u can kill bears cuz they're weak to pierce so maybe try for troll armor

[indigo sphinx]

I'll try to find some then, but first I'll make a good wooden bow.

[silk token]

hm but if you make a bronze axe you can make a BETTER wooden bow..

[indigo sphinx]

I made the arch out of birch wood, now I'm collecting trees to build the base walls. The ash trees have been appearing closer and closer to the base lately.

[timber marsh]

i just witnessed a drake kill a troll just now haha

[vague halo]

Is there an anti cheat you can install onto server that prevents people from going to other world and spawning stuff in? That you don’t have to install on clients?

[tepid prawn]

No, all the mods that do this need to be server side and client side #mods-discussion

[vague halo]

Damn

Feel like that should be a built in feature no? Maybe with 1.0

[tepid prawn]

I don't know, I think the best way to deal, and how I do it, is screening and reviewing people you play with / playing with people you actually know. This has several advantages over just some anti-cheat mods.

And if a bad egg slips through the crack on a server (a mistake was made), you use one of your many backups and roll back the damage, kick and ban them, and happily continue with the good folks.

[light moat]

Especially in a non-competitive sandbox game 🤔

[tepid prawn]

Yes, but also sort of, we had some boat racing and it was insanely competitive, also people compete for finding the traders first and things like that on our servers sometimes, there is a few elements.

[paper marsh]

How many people actually take the time to tame boars? I've never done it, but by day 3 I've killed 3 1star boars

[vague halo]

I think would be a nice config option for server side inventories. I play just with my friends but in a grindy game I could see some of them being tempted

[vague halo]

Trust me don’t raise boars the heartbreak is immense

[tepid prawn]

Just keep them safe? it can be done

[indigo sphinx]

I killed another bear but didn't unlock the Crafter from its armor.😔

[forest jacinth]

I built a steel cage for my wolves so the next time I forget to pause while doing stuff irl they won't die hopefully

[paper marsh]

Have you collected blueberries? Should have the recipe for the set if so

Except the helmet, which requires something extra

[indigo sphinx]

So, the glove-making skill has been unlocked, but I still haven't found how to harvest blueberries.

I made a troll chest piece, now I'm building the house wall.

[fossil delta]

Those are in the forest.

[indigo sphinx]

I fled the dark forest, I died facing the bear, it sprouted from the ground, simply 10 gray, it was a totally one-sided fight, the bear was hitting and I was getting hit.

[opaque berry]

Did the developers add time dilation as a feature? I play for what felt like 10-20mins and its been 8hrs lmao

[paper marsh]

damn I hate maces

[indigo sphinx]

lol I don't know either, but I'm enjoying the game. It's hard for me to get hooked on a game; I think the only one that held my attention for a long time was Zomboid.

[indigo sphinx]

How do I replant the trees I cut down? Because I cleared an area and I don't know if they respawn.

[opaque berry]

You need the cultivator and keep the seeds, dont think they grow back on their own

[indigo sphinx]

I don't know how to make this grower.

[opaque berry]

I think this should show how to get it
https://game8.co/games/Valheim/archives/320594

[indigo sphinx]

I'll try to make it tomorrow then, and I'll take the opportunity to look for the blue fruits.

[silk token]

yoo i play zomboid too, great game.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, I have about 1,200 hours there, but I stopped playing. I did a lot of things that B41 allowed.

[paper marsh]

You need to progress quite a bit in blackforest to make it

[indigo sphinx]

Good luck with the game and have a good rest, I'm going to sleep now.

[rain flare]

[rain flare]

I did at one point, but honestly the boars just keep respawning in same areas so I just go hunt them instead now

[fossil delta]

I don't need to do it with just my wife and I, but with 3 or more people it becomes more and more worth doing.

I wouldn't bother with non starred boars, and of course 2 stars are most worth the effort.

[vague halo]

Yeah but I’m assuming it’s their first playthrough I failed to protect my boars

[rain flare]

I learned that you have flying raids
So I built a barn real quick 😂

Drakes, bats, all very deadly for my piggies 🙈

[vague halo]

I played blind and I had impenetrable walls until they started flying and drakes were too low damage to do anything

Then the bugs came

[wicked shard]

Is the game heavily CPU limited if there are to many items in one area?

I replaced my 3070Ti with a 5070Ti and still get micro stutters if I set view distance to max at my main base

this is with a 7800X3D

didn't look at per CPU core utilisation yet, but total it seem pegged at 25%

[coarse gust]

Dont quote me, but im pretty sure thats a yes.

[wicked shard]

hope they find a way to optimise and use modern CPUs better then

tried reducing the two light options, but they didn't seem to make to much of a difference

[barren whale]

yes its very CPU limited
it can also be GPU limited if you crank up your lighting sources though
extremely unlikely that big optimizations come through

[forest jacinth]

Valheim kills my cpu when im on the coast sometimes

[heady parcel]

Tech guys can explain it better, but I believe the CPU thing is Unity engine-dependent and something the devs themselves can't do much about. They do optimise all the time however, so things do improve.

[summer fern]

Is it okay if I ask a curiousity question for the devs that I have been nervous to ask due to feeling like it can seem mean or rude potentially?
I don't mean this in a rude way or anything just I guess with all the sales I wonder a little on why the dev team didn't seem to be expanded much, though it is quite possible it has been and I just didn't realize as I am new to the discord just recall being told about how small the dev team is. I can guess several reasons both ways but that is more of just a permanent expansion has risks but like short term assistance seems potentially nice.

[tacit crystal]

There are few reasons:

• Devs want to have smaller team so there are not too many factors interrupting the production.
• Adding more people now on ongoing project would result in reduced production speed due to the training any new people would need and it would take the time from senior developers to properly train them.

[summer fern]

Thanks still am unsure, is there a place I can see what the team is composed of? or I guess what is the team composed of currently? Just am wondering about the programmer side of things, and have bad experience with other games that refuse to get enough for that.

[coarse gust]

I think the entire team is like 7 people...

[tacit crystal]

As the work culture in Nordic countries differs from many others they want also take their time to produce quality content.

[tacit crystal]

15ish. It used to be 5 people when Valheim was released on EA.

[heady parcel]

The same is true for any software project. Introducing new people will take time from production for training, then it's the whole process of making sure you hire people that share your vision and have the right abilities. Some roles are easier than others to "contract out". Also I am totally on board with them taking their time to do things right rather than getting two hundred consultants in on the project and releasing a broken disjointed mess.

[summer fern]

I know that is good, I just am worried they could produce a higher quality product within less time potentially. I guess am wondering if the pros could outweigh the cons and initial time investment

[heady parcel]

As we see on so many godawful AAA releases these days, more resources does not necessarily equal better final product.

[summer fern]

Also oh I didn't mean anything close to like 200 people, I meant just like 1 or 2.

[summer fern]

Sometimes I wonder what on earth those companies are doing with all those people. Like are a lot just standing around? working for 5 minutes then another person takes over?

[heady parcel]

Just pulling a number out of my arse for effect 😉

[summer fern]

I appreciate the honesty lol(am just joking around)

[tacit crystal]

There is this thing with AAA studios of shareholders expecting quick scores, which results in sloppy releases with money first mentality.
Indie studios usually have no such expectations.

[summer fern]

I personally might feel like putting effort into high quality and cared for products might be a good way to get some money lol.

[tacit crystal]

Sadly not all people think like that.

[coarse gust]

10% of the people do 90% of the work kek

[tacit crystal]

Personally I'm quite glad I've strayed further from AAA products and focused more on indie games, there have been many great releases lately.

[summer fern]

I don't know if I ever really was that into AAA games, I think most are pretty indie.

I guess though I was wondering about valheim getting a second programmer less focused on adding new stuff to complete the game, but more of flushing out everything else and optimizing.

Well if they don't already have a second, which was why I wanted to ask about the team

A qualityication programmer lol

I hope everything is okay, I just was wondering about that as it might be nice to split between the new and old, though I guess after the deep north there won't need to be a split, though might be good for future games to have that programmer trained. I don't know. Hope I am not bothering.

[forest jacinth]

Any spear enjoyers

[summer fern]

I have tried to get into them but they always feel extremely weak.

[forest jacinth]

They were my main weapon in meadows and bf, swamp they just had no use

[jagged wind]

they have annoyingly short range

[forest jacinth]

Yeah the range is deceptive but they attack fast

[summer fern]

Every time I try to get into a weapon aside from swords, I almost always eventually steer back to swords.

[tacit crystal]

Spears are very useful, especially at the early game.

[summer fern]

Does killing raid creatures reduce the time left in the raid? or do you pretty much just want to wait it out then kill them all unless they give useful resources?

[tacit crystal]

Killing mobs won't affect to the duration of the raids.

[summer fern]

Thanks I feel like though there should be some other encouragement to kill raid spawns instead of running in circles till it is over.

[snow aurora]

Atgeir's aoe sweep isn't useful in the swamps?

[forest jacinth]

Atgeirs are not spears lol

I haven't used an Atgier yet

[snow aurora]

damn

what biome you at?

what does 'vanilla server' mean?

[forest jacinth]

I just started the mountains last i played

Vanilla means unmodded

[solar tiger]

hey guys I need help, how can you build in water without it eroding? Stone doesnt seem to be water resistant

[forest jacinth]

I read the damage cant go below 50%

[solar tiger]

thats cap

the first time I played valheim we built with stone foundation in the water

and the whole floor collapsed except the 10% that was on the beach

[forest jacinth]

Weird how did you even manage to build underwater i tried and couldn't hit the floor

[heady parcel]

Stone does not take water damage

If your stone structures in water fall apart, it is because they don't touch bottom and simply collapse because of lack of support

Wood does take water damage, but only down to 50%

So nothing will ever collapse from weather damage alone. Necks and greydorfs chewing on the foundations however...

However, mobs will not attack simple building things like walls or posts if they can't see actual base items like workbenches etcetera

Or if they are coming for you and there's a wall between you and them

If you want to build in water, use alternate snapping so you get a post/pillar down far enough to touch bottom and then work from there (4-meter log pole is good for this, they make ideal jetty supports...)

You cycle alternate snapping points by tapping E while placing a build piece. No idea what E translates to for console though

Also, when starting a build always make sure the foundation is "grounded", meaning it touches ground somewhere. You will know this when hovering the cursor over the piece with the hammer - it highlights as blue. If it is not grounded it will be either green (=well supported), orange or red. Red of course means it is poorly supported and can't be added to any further.

[solar tiger]

it wasnt very high it was like 2 stone pillars

[solar tiger]

the building was up for days

[heady parcel]

In that case you probably had a troll visit or something like that. There is no "erosion" or other weather damage on stone over time

[solar tiger]

nope, there was no raid, I was solo on the server at the moment, and it collapsed only on the water side, check #screenshots

it was so weird

[heady parcel]

It could have been load lag. Happens sometimes if you have a load hickup (due to autosave) at the very moment you come into render range of the build. What happens is the foundation piece loads in after one or more objects depending on it for support, making parts of the build collapse. Happened to me with my entire second floor on my current build. After that I save manually before approaching my base after being away...

[solar tiger]

thats crazy lol

I hope they fix performance and issues like that before release

but still its weird it only happened on the side that was in the water

[heady parcel]

It is very rare, and probably it only affected one very crical stone for that part of the build

So, bad luck more than anything

Still, they can probably eliminate the risk by delaying stability calculations in a player "bubble" for a while after loading player built structures

I have yet to see any official word on the issue though, what I say is what I've been told by cleverer players than I am...

[indigo sphinx]

Good morning guys

[solar tiger]

im no expert but arent there a lot of problems related to performance that would be fixed if they would just make the game files bigger

theres games I play that are 130 GB that have flawless performance and 2x the fps than valheim, while having much much higher graphics

I guess it comes down to the fact that its procedural generation

[heady parcel]

I doubt that has anything to do with it at all, but I am not an expert either. Bigger games tend to use absurd amounts of data for textures, and Valheim simply doesn't need that because of its style

[indigo sphinx]

exactly

I don't understand the hype about wanting to increase the size of the game; the game is simply perfect as it is now.

[solar tiger]

is there a hype for it?

I mean, if it would increase performance I would have no problem with it

I just dont know if it does

[heady parcel]

Bigger files only fill up your harddrive, no performance gain to get from having higher resolution textures. Valheim is visually stunning as is, I honestly think it would lose much of its magic with a more high resolution style

[solar tiger]

not talking about higher resolution textures etc

I just mean having less calculations in the moment

[chrome badge]

To be clear, bigger files does absolutely nothing, and game size has no effect on performance. You're comparing different game types entirely.

[solar tiger]

yeah I guess it is because there is procedural generation

[indigo sphinx]

And probably many people with potato PCs or laptops wouldn't be able to play.

[chrome badge]

That, and the studio doesn't have 60 people working on optimizations, not to mention the engine is typically being stressed by constant physics interactions/structural calculations.

[indigo sphinx]

The problem is that increasing the file size will mean some PCs or laptops won't be able to handle it, and they'll lose customers.

Not everyone has a super powerful computer to run the game on ultra settings.

[chrome badge]

File size doesn't inherently effect performance...

[bleak prism]

what is the best and big dmg black metal weaopon?

[indigo sphinx]

I know people who are managing to run the game at 1280p with 30 fps and it's stuttering.

[chrome badge]

1280p? I'm really not sure what you're trying to point out here.

File size has little to do with performance, some games will intentionally bloat file size to take up disc space/appear bigger.

[tacit crystal]

All the black metal weapon are solid, use what you feel the most comfortable with.

[indigo sphinx]

Oh, I must have been mistaken then.

[forest jacinth]

Is the battle axe the biggest dmg not factoring resists

[mystic berry]

There is no method in the endgame for teleporting ores?

[chrome badge]

There is 👍

[mystic berry]

Please dont say its a ship

[chrome badge]

You said teleporting 😛

[mystic berry]

Thats a relief them

[silk token]

imo nothing is better against a goblin village, but it’s all playstyle preference and ability.

[tacit crystal]

Might be if looking purely at the damage numbers.
They're tad slower than 1h swords/maces, also slower than 1h axes, but battleaxes have great stagger abilities, as primary attacks have 1,5x stagger multiplier and no mtp, then secondary attack is quick, half damage, high knockback and 4x stagger (effectively 2x stagger of weapon damage).

[mystic berry]

I've been using the two handed Iron axe to farm some abominations in the swamp and damnn its so good

The downside of the battle axe?

His first hit animation sucks

[indigo sphinx]

Lol

[nocturne wolf]

Jump towards the enemy so you can start the attack earlier without slowing yourself

[indigo sphinx]

I'm using a bronze shield and a bronze axe.

[rain flare]

Upside?
Secondary is god tier 😂

[mystic berry]

I only wish his entire moveset where used to cut trees

[nocturne wolf]

You can cut trees with both attacks

Secondary attacks always deal the same damage types as the primary, just with a multiplier applied

[mystic berry]

Is just that the first animation is really bad for cutting and if i try without enemies close he just keeps repeating the first animation, so the best way of using him to blast some trees is by draging some enemies atention lol

[chrome badge]

The secondary is the best way 😛

[mystic berry]

I will try later.

Also, can we chain the special attacks with normal attacks?

Doing some "combos"

[chrome badge]

It is recommended to start fights with the Battleaxe by using the secondary into the first primary swing, this way you're almost certainly staggering your enemy on either the first or second hit.

It's even mentioned on the battleaxe's wiki pages.

[indigo sphinx]

If I manage to kill two bears, I can get his set.

I already made the bear loincloth.

[terse raft]

poor them, not my experience with valheim

FPS hunters are the worse.

[silk token]

i rarely engage with secondary unless they’re starred. never did the stamina math if it’s more or less stamina to secondary>jump>swing or just swing>swing

[mystic berry]

I didnt even know it has wiki dedicated to weapons.

[mystic berry]

Good job dude, skall

[indigo sphinx]

My laptop is weak but it runs at 30 fps without lagging.

[indigo sphinx]

Now I just need to hunt more bears and look for caves.

[candid basalt]

I need more things to use bear skin and meat for. I try to avoid bears just because I don’t want anymore drops

[mystic berry]

Im running 60 fps quite smoothly, but it aways starts lagging in swamps intersections for some reason, i will try 30 fps for more stabillity.

[paper marsh]

I mean the skin is nice for plains

[mystic berry]

Yeah, his Meat is preety good for early game but after you have his armor weapons and amulets is completely over.

[solar tiger]

Ive seen people shit on fist weapons but I tried them and they are pretty good

u dont need much stamina for it

[candid basalt]

In what way? All I see is making rugs

[gray sand]

They are very good. They just fall off after the Plains.

||vile bear armor set/weapons||

[mystic berry]

The bear fists are cool but idk if it can be upgraded further after t4 on workbench

[paper marsh]

no gear goes beyond tier 4

idea is you just make stronger versions of the weapons in the next biomes

[candid basalt]

Ah. Well I have four stacks of hide I should be good 😊

[mystic berry]

Thats sad, i liked a lot the bear chest and leather pants, i was hoping we could upgrade them to match the quality in the late game.

[paper marsh]

You can make similar weapons and armor later in the game. At least function wise

May look a bit different

[solar tiger]

btw what is the deal with inverted towers

in swamp for example, what is the point?

[gray sand]

World flavor.

[candid basalt]

Build a base around one, make it a swimming pool

[mystic berry]

Swimming pool IN THE SWAMP? Loooooooooolll

[lone rampart]

That’s how you get a disease named after you!

[mystic berry]

The first time i saw i thought it was a dungeon, maybe devs are looking for giving as an underwater dungeon someday?...

[merry pebble]

Nope, not really feasible with how water works.

[slate sedge]

What’s the best upgrade out of the plains to use for Mistlands? Playing hardcore

[merry pebble]

As in weapons?

[slate sedge]

Yeah

[merry pebble]

Then i would honestly take frostner, the frost dmg outperforms pretty much any weapon from plains against seekers

[slate sedge]

Even frostner?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, since seekers have resistance to all physical dmg types

[slate sedge]

I’ll add it to our list. Finishing out full frostner upgrades before Yagluth and grinding frost arrows

Just tryna prep for Mistlands, gonna be awful in hardcore 😂

[indigo sphinx]

I just killed a bear and dropped its head.

I'll send the photo in the photo chat.

[indigo sphinx]

I killed another bear, it dropped both claws, I'm only missing one bear hide lol

[candid basalt]

Swamp builds are fun. A swimming pool/bath house sounds hilarious to me. I should look for a sunken tower and do that

[warm flint]

I was today years old when I realized Valhiem had its own discord 😅

[lone rampart]

But now you know!

[warm flint]

Indeed! The wife ans I have been playing pretty much since launch.

I'm excited to be here

[indigo sphinx]

I completed the bear set.

[heady parcel]

Personal spa in the basement, it's luxury!

[hearty prawn]

Hello! Just joined! Seriously, just found out as well @warm flint lol

[indigo sphinx]

Find the old man's location. How many arrows do you think I need to kill him?

The birch bow is at level 4.

[paper marsh]

Oof been a couple years since I’ve used a bow.

I’d say have 200 fire arrows on you at least, shouldnt run out

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure it took less than 100 fire arrows, but its been years since I last used bows to take him down. Melee is much faster and easier.

[mystic berry]

hey guys

genuine question...

is the iron veins rare in the swamps?

saw a guy in a video mining it

but i only found in crypts yet

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the mud piles are kind of rare.

Easiest to find them once you have the bonemass drop.

[mystic berry]

i got the bone

[mystic berry]

so im only founding because its under the earth?

[frozen fable]

You will mine in the crypts 99% of the time. A few monsters will drop iron ore and there are also additional spots as you found that will have iron ore

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I think the mud piles have at most 9 pieces of iron. Pretty sure I have never recovered double digits worth of iron.

[mystic berry]

ah

so its better loot cripts

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I only look for mud pits to get iron before I go into crypts. Mostly so I can have a stone cutter.

Having a long boat earlier is nice too.

[dark coyote]

yeah I hate that, best place to find an elite but you cant attack it

[orchid kayak]

anyone know what's the max forge level needed for most vanilla/modded stuff? 4-5?

just wondering if i can avoid placing some upgrades

[silk token]

woof. just parried an archer and didnt know it was a 2 star, lost 2/3 my hp lol. thank you health pot.

[fossil delta]

I think its lvl 4 to make it. lvl 7 to fully upgrade it, on the first forge.

[orchid kayak]

oh right

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure you need lvl 4 at most, for repairs.

[flat reef]

i found another copper deposit and cleared a nearby spawner and finally got the copper i needed

[merry pebble]

Max possible forge level is 7, and for repairs you need at least the level you used the first time to make any particular piece of equipment 🙂

[mystic berry]

Hello guys

Just dropped an elite draugr head and stray up did the hammer

Is it worth it to invest on it?

I didnt found the elk antlers hammer a great thing

[silk token]

if you didn’t like the staghammer it’s the exact same thing just does a little more damage, so probably not.

[mystic berry]

Thats sad, lost ressources?

[fossil delta]

I like it,, its AoE goes through walls, etc... so its good in tombs, crypts, caves, etc... Plus it becomes really useful when dealing with large mobs. It knocks all of them back and gives you breathing room.

You repeat it enough it kills all of them at about the same time as well.

Of course, in the Mistlands, there is one group it kills all of with one strike.

[mystic berry]

i will invest it

[paper marsh]

Hmm, found a 2-star boar on day 2

Do I kill it?

[merry pebble]

On day 2? I would keep it if you find a good base spot nearby.

[fossil delta]

Whenever I find them close to my start, I keep them, even when I never breed them. Just in case I change my mind.

[forest jacinth]

Tame them they love you

[fossil delta]

Heck, I did that with a 1 star in my current play through.

[lone rampart]

I have no-stars in my village but they’re for The Aesthetic™

[fossil delta]

I actually took over a 4 building village this play through, for the first time in a long time. Not where I found the 1 star, though. It was close by.

Apparently the boar stones respawn a boar every day. Which is within line of sight from this village.

[merry pebble]

They do not, those are just normal random spawns, probably just happens that area around it has good conditions for normal spawns 🙂

[forest jacinth]

I've watched like 4 100 day valheim videos where they claim runestone boar respawn idk why its so common to think that

[fossil delta]

Good. I would hate to find this out only after 5,100 hours of playing this game.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, the boar runestones are just one time spawns, same as the ruined villages, and both of those instances of one time spawns can have starred ones even when they are in the "no star radius" for boars 😄

[fossil delta]

Villages regularly respawn boars. They are just never starred after the first time. Not sure how often they respawn, but its often enough I run back through them whenever convenient.

[merry pebble]

Same case as the stones 😄 after the first time they are just normal random meadows spawns.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I never realized the stones could be such reliable respawns. I will have to keep them in mind going forward.

[merry pebble]

For sure, if you notice an area giving somewhat reliable spawns it is 100% worth coming back there from time to time

[fossil delta]

Yep. Villages often are. Some times even for deer. Plus they almost always have some razberries.

Which is why I "settled" my current village. It has 10 bushes.

I'll move my base once they stop being useful. So soon.

[winter shore]

sa

[merry pebble]

I usually just stay at one base and expand it if needed, even if the resources around ti stop being useful 🤔

[fossil delta]

This one isn't even near water. So it will be more convenient to move to a location at least close to the water.

[silk token]

hehe i’ve definitely lived in renovated berry villages a few times

One was right on the line of a black forest that had a tower and blueberry bushes around it. That was the greatest seed ever. I didn’t delete it because it has my favorite base I ever built too

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah, i pick a base spot near the water in almost every playthrough.

[fossil delta]

Good thing is, it was very close to 4 copper nodes, but those are cleaned out now as well.

Made it easy to kill trolls too. There were several spawn spots that were within line of site to the village.

[silk token]

my old berry village had a bear spawn on two sides, one of which was right by a crypt that spawned skeletons, so every now and then id just hear them fighting outside and go ooo the bear respawned and go farm it. best base spot ever.

[steel mica]

Curious

has anyone encountered the battle arena like POI in the meadows

where skeletons spawn

[late smelt]

I havent yet no

[tacit crystal]

Yes, they're new POIs added in latest update.

They also contain a chest somewhere under the floor pieces.

[echo wind]

Yep 🙂 There's one near the draugr village I transformed into a base

[pliant hatch]

Yup, though it took me quite a while before I found one. Turned it into a training area, eventually.

[grave parcel]

hey im plying on my world and it feels like my hardcore settings are not turned on why?

mobs dont do horrific damage , not much star mobs and like no troll spawn at all + i do like way too much dmg

[steel mica]

Huh quite a rare POI

[tacit crystal]

IIRC max 5 of them per world.

[pliant hatch]

In unexplored areas if it's an old world. Which means the chance to find one is actually reduced.

[steel mica]

Alot rarer than I thought

[tepid prawn]

My first base on current run had like 15, was real good.

[forest jacinth]

I should have based near bushes

Instead I just based near spawn

[tepid prawn]

Near spawn is only good if it has ocean and if the black forest is not extremely far away I think, or if it looks stunningly beautiful in another way, or a close & good mountain. (I have strict requirements for bases haha)

[forest jacinth]

Its my first run besides my 20 minute conga line of not knowing how to play 3 years ago lol

[tepid prawn]

ah that changes things, but you can make your own adventure and you should.

[forest jacinth]

Yeah its hindsight

[tepid prawn]

I sometimes live out of an abandoned hut I renovate a bit for the first 2 biomes until I build my first proper base when I have killed the first 2 bosses

Some people like to build a massive wooden structure that might be big enough for the next 5-6 biomes in the meadows, before even looking at the first boss altar haha

extremes on both sides

[paper marsh]

Hardcore (a death penalty setting) should make you lose all items and skills on death. Nothing else

Sounds like you’re talking about difficulty. Crank that up to Very Hard and you should be in for a tough time

[grave parcel]

no no i mean custm setting preset hardcore

i doublechecked many times and its set to both

played it week ago and i was doing less dmg and mobs were dealing way more

[paper marsh]

Any mods? And is it a single player world or is it a dedicated server?

[grave parcel]

single player no mods

like my +3 flint spear was 3-4 hitting greydwarfs

and now i 2hit them with +1

they get stun after 1st hit which should not happen for sure

troll log attack didnt do 100+ dmg like it used to do

[paper marsh]

Dunno then. Maybe try and set it to default settings, load up the world, then put it back to hardcore settings and launch again?

[grave parcel]

and when i throw spear it does 100+ dmg most of time when i remember rarely getting 70 or more dmg

tried it aswell

might jsut start new world ig

or is it possible game is harder in multiplayer? i mean non boss mobs

[tepid prawn]

yes it gets scaled up in multiplayer from 2-5 players

[forest jacinth]

I hope the final foresaken drops a backpack that does nothing

[tepid prawn]

adding a 6th player does not make it harder, because its capped there, but 2-5 it does scale up if they are near you

[grave parcel]

can i see somewhere scaling on wiki or sth?

[tepid prawn]

yes lemme try find it

[grave parcel]

all i coulod find about scaling is just starring mobs up

nvm found it

Creature damage is further increased by 4% and effective health is further increased by 30% for each additional player within 100 meters. These are also applied to tamed creatures. This scaling caps at 5 players.

Internally the effective health increase from additional players is implemented as a damage reduction so that it can be scaled dynamically. The reduction doesn't apply to shown damage number so it's not visible to the players. For practical purposes, it can be considered as a health increase.

[tepid prawn]

we had more than 5 players on our landing in the 7th biome which made it a bit easier because its capped at 5 haha

[grave parcel]

how is modded valheim nowadays btw

worth playing? cuz i tried few years ago when there was no mistlands and gameplay was clunky and very uninterseting

[fossil delta]

Probably best to ask in the #mods-discussion

[tepid prawn]

I prefer unmodded, not using things that change the game

there is also plenty of new content from biomes and content patches

[faint siren]

Yall should gift valheim

[dark coyote]

gift you a job

[lone rampart]

gift you my job

You can have it!

[fossil delta]

Then move somewhere that has good internet!

[gray sand]

Plains has good internet. 😏

[paper marsh]

How much does player and mob damage range?

As in if a mob does 100 damage average, what’s the lowest and highest damage that mob can do per hit?

[gray sand]

Players are the only ones with random damage afaik.

[paper marsh]

Hmm, I feel pretty confident I've taken varying amounts of damage from the same mobs

Also just got hit for 126 from a troll that should only be able to do 100

Yea just let a neck bite me. 6.3, 6.2, 6.7 damage

[gray sand]

If enemies do variable damage, the wiki and the entire blocking sheet are wrong and need to be completely re-written.

[fossil delta]

I saw someone else post earlier today that they do have variable damage, and a wide range of it. The percentage they stated was in the 80's. Think it was the guy with blob in his name, and he was talking about wolves damage dealt.

[paper marsh]

Yeah I saw blob mention it too

I’ve always known it was variable but I thought it was like 10%. Getting hit by something 26% stronger than anticipated felt rough

[rain flare]

Maybe we have a crit hit spot that the troll managed to exploit 😂

[gray sand]

@nocturne wolf do I need to re-write the entire blocking sheet because all the information it is based on is wrong?

[paper marsh]

I always stay clear of mobs that I just barely have the health to parry on that sheet exactly because of the damage variance

I like a bit of a buffer

In other news, just killed my first bear ever (with the help of a 2 star skelly) and it dropped a head :D

But yeah I also found it odd the wiki damage page only mentioned player variability in damage, not enemies

[tacit crystal]

Players cannot take critical damage.

[paper marsh]

Wait, wood torches can set fire to stuff with firetick on?

[nocturne wolf]

It’s the same variance as skill level 100

[tacit crystal]

IIRC yes.

[nocturne wolf]

(Down to 86.602540378% of max damage)

But we should shorten that to 86.6

[paper marsh]

But it doesn't go higher than 100%?

[nocturne wolf]

No, it doesn’t on player attacks either

I don’t know if it can even reach exactly 100%

Sometimes random functions can’t idk why

[paper marsh]

I don't get how I'm taking 120 damage from a troll slam on vhard with 6 armor then

Unless wiki is wrong about ground slam being 50 damage. Does seem kinda low for such a big attack

[nocturne wolf]

It has a melee hitbox and aoe instance, I think the 50 damage is the aoe and you’re being hit by both

[paper marsh]

huh interesting

[tacit crystal]

Technically only if the player is weak against the damage type tho (125% from slight weakness or 150% from weakness).

[tacit crystal]

Yeah interestingly both count and grant adrenaline when you parry the slam.

[paper marsh]

or 200% from Very Weak (yeaaaa... feather cape against the wrong enemy without wine is fun)

[tacit crystal]

Forgot the cape has very weak modifier... Should get some coffee soon.

[full sierra]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie. Can someone tell me what I should do in the early stages?

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the bird.

Gather materials, craft equipment, set up small base, get foods, encounter boss when well equipped.

[paper marsh]

So @gray sand sounds like block/parry sheet is still good for determining the hp you need to be guaranteed to parry. Just possible that you may also be able to parry with slightly lower stats

[nocturne wolf]

Could you make the damages show a different colour for when a player has a chance of blocking successfully?

[full sierra]

Ohhh, what are some common mistakes beginners make?

[tacit crystal]

Some mistakes can be kind of "Rite of passage" like dying to a falling tree.

One biggest would be going to harder biome during night and generally having no rested buff when base has been set up.

[full sierra]

Ohhh, I'll remember.

Do you use paid resource packs/appearance mods? How good are they?

[tacit crystal]

For the first time playing I recommend experiencing the game itself as it is without adding mods.
The first time will always be unique time. There are many folks who wish they had possibility to get that experience again.

But I'm not forcing anything, just recommending, regarding mods you can ask folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍
Although paid mods are against EULA.

[full sierra]

ohhh

thanks

[subtle nimbus]

crazy that i died from a tree falling onto me for like the 4th or 3th time

[nocturne wolf]

3th?

[distant girder]

english makes no sense

[near furnace]

1th

2th

3th

4th

makes sence

[forest jacinth]

Let's use German ordinal numbers instead

[rain flare]

Pfffff
No Smiffe that’s not how it works 🤣😅😂

[near furnace]

how dareth you 🤔

[steel mica]

Unforgivable mistake really is not having rested buff 24/7

[forest jacinth]

Me buildings 500 campsites to never not be rested

[hot geyser]

5th no sir 3th
Lobs holy hand grenade
💣

[indigo sphinx]

you crazy

[jolly relic]

Took me until day 16 for that to happen only because I wanted to try my new sturdy axe hahahaha

[near furnace]

you mean you "lobth" a hole handgranade of antioc?

[lone rampart]

“-eth” as a verb conjugation only comes into play with the 3rd person singular. So he, she, or it lobbeth. 2nd person singular informal (thou) uses the suffix “-est”

So thou lobbest but he lobbeth.

is never getting rid of her gibber at this rate 🤣

[near furnace]

firsteth

🤔
hence forth

[paper marsh]

Hence fourth

[near furnace]

henceforth

[lone rampart]

Henceforth and forthwith

[west sapphire]

Is there a place to discuss mods? Just trying to find ones that make life easier for our group play without changing the game.

[tacit crystal]

Check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[west sapphire]

thx didnt have that thread added.

[paper marsh]

@silk token random thought because I just checked your latest clip in clip chat, but do you use Elder power for the health regen buff?

[light moat]

Want to play Valheim again so bad 👀

[lone rampart]

Do it

Teach the little one the ways of the warrior!

[main terrace]

I started a dedicated server the other day, it's from my personal end game world, looking for some builders who can make some top tier builds before I make the server public, I'm going for a RPG vibe with jobs and a full blast community, if your interested DM me [if I'm in the wrong chat for this plz lmk I'm pretty new to the official valhaim discord]

[light moat]

Soon!

[main terrace]

Thank you, I was a little confused by the lfg

[zinc mulch]

Looking for more players to full valheim playtrough

We are currently ready for swamp, we have 3 active players. servere is hosted so it's not always open but usually it's open from 14.00 UTC +2 to 20.00.

[fossil delta]

I'm learning to trigger trinkets more easily. Use high stamina weapons like sledges, battle axes and atgeirs.

Ups the activation considerably.

I didn't think they would, but its enough of a difference that they do get activated before I am done fighting much more often.

[silk token]

hehe i have a few times when im poisoned and not sure if im gonna make it, but not mid-combat like that. idk if its worth it in a crazy fight like that to stand still for a few hitpoints

I don’t think I even thought about it, my brain just fixated on the two star archer and timing when his shots are gonna be, lol then also kiting the elite’s attacks out, then “dont look at the abom spawning dont look at the abom spawning” i knew it was coming but i had to just commit to the 2 star dying. i think 2
star archer and abom would be too many perfect storms.

[silk token]

Battleaxe really is amazing for adrenaline. getting five for every single thing you hit because you’re smashing those stagger meters.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I use the sledge more often, because I like the knockback pushing the masses back. but I do enjoy using the battle axes when I am fighting 3 to 5 fulings, etc...

[paper marsh]

Yea I’m just wondering why you run around with it

Eikthyr seems like such a better choice to me

[fossil delta]

Eikthyr is the power I use pretty much 100% of the time, even in boss fights. Its rare for me to change it out with something else.

[silk token]

imean it is you’re right. I have it because I put it on to mine and chop and build my permanent big base, and the stones are so far away it’s not worth me sailing there to switch back and forth. hashtag no map no portal problems

and I’ve decided this is the playthrough of slowly and menacingly walking at things with my battleaxe drawn in heavy armor.

Except when a two star archer appears, then I’ll dodge roll because he cheats

[silk token]

yeah, it’s probably the best combat power. I’ll switched back to it at my next no portal convenience.

or before I go to mountains, which I think is very soon just for those stupid cliffs

[fossil delta]

I do like to be able to move and not have it eat up my stamina, so I have it for attacks.

[silk token]

i’m really enjoying testing how much I can literally walk not run in combat and just be recovering stamina all the time. I might just not use it on purpose. 😂 this character‘s name is “Mountain“

[fossil delta]

Since I use tower shields all the time, all I need to do is stand there in blocking position to regain stamina, while they beat on my shield.

Even with a boss.

[paper marsh]

Same, though I’m considering trying bonemass to not get oneshot or yag to be able to stagger better

Usually I skip killing bonemass alltogether tho

[silk token]

ooo I’ve been wanting to try bonemass with tower, shield and iron brooch. I wonder how hard you can abuse it, just stand there and block and get healed from the adrenaline gain.

[paper marsh]

Also question: does parrying interrupt stamina regen?

[silk token]

NOT ANYMORE!

hashtag parrying is broken AF

[gray sand]

Parrying is once again broken AF...

[paper marsh]

I expected as much

Makes me wonder if I should try tasty mead. Never rly used it

[silk token]

that’s really all I ask is they make it interrupt stamina region. You can just parry and regain stamina for free its such a gigantic diversion from previous gameplay

[fossil delta]

I just stand there and melee Bonemass with the iron mace. I'll use a stamina mead just so I can kill him faster. Between my iron tower shield and the poison resist mead, I beat him in about two minutes just standing there and beating on him. Plus I'll nail the blobs when I can.

[paper marsh]

Oh I don’t have a problem fighting him

It’s being bothered by wolf and bat and blob raids and whatever else that blob of sadness imposes for the rest of the game on max raid rate

[silk token]

I fought him last night on a hard with a poison resistance mead, I just stood in the poison, all the adds did nothing but help me heal with iron brooch. The fight is so stupid easy.

[fossil delta]

Then why skip him? The wishbone makes finding silver go much faster.

[fossil delta]

Yeah. I mean at first I found him to be a hard fight, but now that I have learned what I have learned, all the bosses are pretty easy now a days.

Except the Queen, I still find her to be a pain. Fader would be easy if not for his one ground attack.

[silk token]

same. I think when I first bfought him, I didn’t have poison mead because I just learned his attack moves and knew when to run out of the poison cloud.

I just have a strong memory of waiting for him to look like he’s gonna puke and then sprinting, no reason to do that if you have poison mead

[fossil delta]

I may have fought him without the poison resist my first time too. Its been about 4 years, so I don't remember. I may have had it on me due to worrying about blobs showing up.

[silk token]

In my tower shield run I still found that I could just eat healthy food and block every attack of hers with a shield. Is it just hard when she summons all the little minions?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the minions still make it feel risky to me. If she were alone she would be easy too.

Comparatively. I mean, nothing is easy if you don't know what is going on in each fight. But once you know what to do, they become much easier to beat.

[paper marsh]

Because I don’t want annoying raids

[fossil delta]

The wolves? I want that raid, best way to get plenty of wolf meat without having to spend time breeding them.

[silk token]

oh haha, if you dont kill bonemass do you never get hunted??

i like that raid, its like being at a batting cage

One time it happened as I was about to take a goblin village, that was one of the more fun and crazy fights I’ve had

[fossil delta]

Well, with tower shields, they aren't really even a threat. I just make sure they can only come at me from one general direction.

[paper marsh]

More so blobs ghosts skeletons surtling and bats

I don’t want skellies showing up at my base every 5 minutes when I’m in mistlands gear. I want like seekers or charred or something to assault me

[fossil delta]

I think Bonemass only unlocks the wolf hunt. Bats is from just going into the caves.

[silk token]

the bats and blobs raid can bite me… i like getting chains and cores delivered to me though

[fossil delta]

Yeah, me too.

[paper marsh]

Bat and surtling is killing bonemass AND a surtling/ bat

I want fenris stuff so I’m gonna kill bats, but if I skip bonemass it won’t trigger raids

[silk token]

hmm maybe i just never go in caves if thats true lol, im not using fenring set this run

[fossil delta]

The bat raid is just annoying.

[tacit crystal]

Defeating Bonemass and bat dying will trigger the cauldron event.

[nocturne wolf]

Use a wood mace for the bat raid

They take 5x the knockback of greylings

[fossil delta]

Which doesn't happen unless you go into caves and kill bats. Only reason I go in them is to get Jute and see if I can ever find a tetris pond..

[lone rampart]

Batter up!

[silk token]

the wiki just lists bosses killed, could be more accurate

is there a special rule for wolves

[fossil delta]

Don't think so. Just beat Bonemass.

I know you don't have to kill a wolf first.

[tacit crystal]

Bonemass unlocks most number of raids of all bosses: Moder army raid (drakes), skeleton surprise, hunted (wolves), blob raid (smell from swamp), surtling raid (after surtling dying), cauldron (after bat dying)

[silk token]

wolves is the only one I think that can get me, if I’m being careless and not rested and without good food

[tacit crystal]

Wolves require only being in mountain or plains area.

[nocturne wolf]

And killing bonemass

[tacit crystal]

Yep, listed above.

[silk token]

oh shoot. well, I haven’t been to mountains, but I definitely chopped some birch trees in plains…

[paper marsh]

Yea but I’m playing without resistance meads and I kinda want fenris set for fire resist and speed against yag and maybe fader

[nocturne wolf]

It can’t trigger outside of those biomes

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've been hunted my first time going into mountains after Bonemass.

[tacit crystal]

Hunted raid also doesn't require any base items nearby.

[fossil delta]

Fire resistance doesn't help versus Faders ground attack. Neither does the Flametal heavy armor heat resist. You just have to avoid that attack.

[silk token]

oh what?? I never noticed that it’s only in those biomes. I knew it was anytime anywhere, but not any biome

[nocturne wolf]

Fire resistance does reduce it

That doesn’t mean you can survive though

[fossil delta]

You can still get attacked in other biomes, if your close enough to the mountain or plains biome.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it didn't keep it from killing me.

[tacit crystal]

The ground fire from fissures deal very high fire damage even when you have the barley wine on.

[fossil delta]

Again, yep, it doesn't keep it from killing me. That damage is ridiculous.

[paper marsh]

Yeah I’m more thinking the speed will be nice.

Think I’m gonna go glass cannon speed demon on that fight. One hit and I’m out, but just gonna make sure not to get hit

[nocturne wolf]

120 damage per tick on each aoe, it’s not too bad if you take 1-2 hits with resistance and armor but you don’t want to sit inside any longer than that

[fossil delta]

Just staying out, or getting out of it immediately, is the best strategy. So movement definitely helps.

[paper marsh]

Does the wet effect help much against fader or does the reduced fire duration not matter much if you’re sitting in an AoE of it?

[nocturne wolf]

You have to move so it doesn’t get between you and fader or you’ll be losing dps

[fossil delta]

Fader is often in it, so you can't always avoid losing dps.

[silk token]

hehe, i figured, i didn’t fafo, im a gamer of old, we don’t stand in the fire

[silk token]

i fight him in heavy armor and dont get burnt, probably had rafatosk though

[fossil delta]

Still, Fader would be a push over without that fissure attack. Its over powered, as far as I am concerned, but it does make him be a challenge.

[nocturne wolf]

It’s never felt overpowered to me but learning to fight against it properly took a few attempts

[silk token]

I like a fight that has a “you lose if you do this wrong” mechanic, early boss fights are too easy

[paper marsh]

Moder is the first boss imo that starts to have real damage behind her attacks

Though theyre pretty easy to dodge

[nocturne wolf]

Moder needs strong wind that pushes players off mountains

[fossil delta]

More like just become proficient at staying out of it, or getting out of it ASAP.

[silk token]

her flying breath attack surprised me hard when it hit me with frost mead on, still did a ton of dmg

[fossil delta]

Once I figure out his animation for doing that attack, he will definitely become close to just being easy to beat. I had no problems just meleeing him. Aside from that attack making me have to break off from him.

[paper marsh]

Yeah on vhard I need to run wolf skewer serpent meat serpent stew root chest and wolf helmet/legs just to be sure it doesn’t end my run if I get hit by it

Not that I do get hit by it, but I like to be prepared

[fossil delta]

I still find trying to not die at all to be challenging enough. Like last time I didn't die until on my way to Faders location, then twice while fighting him. Plus I often die from just doing something stupid.

[paper marsh]

I think I’m gonna downgrade to hard for Ashlands/deep north

Ashlands is enough on it’s own and DN I’ll be going in to blind

I like the permadeath because it makes me actually have to strategize and prepare

[fossil delta]

I don't do parmadeath. I am not going to throw all those hours away just because I finally died.

So I just consider the rest of it practice for the next time I try a Zero Death run.

[paper marsh]

I usually keep the world/character for the memories

But then I go start a fresh run

[silk token]

i like permadeath because it makes me feel something inside

[paper marsh]

Do you need to talk to someone Yacko?

[silk token]

i mean i am serious but im not serious too

im all about playing not winning, i like the thrills

[paper marsh]

I’m all about pushing myself to the limit and proving that I really am as good as I think

And I usually fail proving that because I’m not that good, but that won’t stop me from keeping on trying

[hearty hatch]

guys is the Call to Arms update out yet?

[silk token]

yeah dude get on that!

[hearty hatch]

but for real any game with hardcore, im doing it. project zomboid, minecraft, WoW, gimme that permadeath

you're gonna love it i'm telling ya

at least when you're not dying 😭

[silk token]

im not HUGE on platformers is the thing

even in big tripple a 3d games im like yeah yeah im climbing up this thing..... unless it's super immersiony im like skip jumping and climbing

uhhh maybe with the exception of mario 64 lol i never felt it in that game

[hearty hatch]

i recommend you try it yourself

the gameplay mechanics feel really smooth

[silk token]

lol, i just jumped off my boat, landed on a serpent's head, and tried to stab it, failed, fell off, swam up to it and punched it to kill it.

yacko puncher of snakes?

[errant bobcat]

You can ask from folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[paper marsh]

Yes. Make that your title right now

[light moat]

Who up punching their snake?

[silk token]

i am disappointed in CTA update that my vertical hitbox was not good enough to stab the snake whil eriding it.

serious game flaw

[paper marsh]

Also can we all just acknowledge how terrible stone axe is? Couldn’t even oneshot backstab a deer with it

Had to kill my next deer with my bare hands to protest the use of the stone axe

[silk token]

on very hard? yeah its depressing when you just CANT kill a 2 star deer iwth a spear throw ambush like what??

[fossil delta]

Its very hard, so even the animals are more bad, um, tougher than you are.

Stone axe works fine on standard.

[paper marsh]

Can't even kill a 1 star with a spear throw sometimes 😔

[tacit crystal]

Try secondary attack which has 1,5x damage multiplier.

[cedar warren]

hey anyone could gift a strong weapon so i can farm some mob? im in biome 3

[heady parcel]

Built this outpost on the southernmost tip of land I could find, to use as a base for my Ashlands expedition. It just so happened to be a sea-level mountain, surrounded by Black Forest and a bit of Mistlands. It actually transitions to BF as you climb the hill, kinda odd... Now the drakkar is loaded, I'm ready to go. Just got to wait out the blizzard so I can even se the goddamn water... #screenshots message

[cedar warren]

LF some help with weapon gift please

[paper marsh]

Feels very awkward to me to get the sneak attack on deer using the secondary

Even with the primary I need to make sure I'm not too close

Also feels to me like it swings too slowly (on a primary attack) to get a double sneak attack if there's two targets. Feels like the second one gets alerted before the swing makes it to them

[solar plaza]

Why not just craft one mate?

[heavy epoch]

😆

[cedar warren]

i can only craft bronze sword

[rain flare]

That's good enough to start with - you'll get more goodies as you go

[heady parcel]

Then use that, until you have gathered stuff for heavier things.

[cedar warren]

whats the next step?

[solar plaza]

Sunken ruins, that's what the key from the elder is for

Sorry. "Sunken crypts"

[rain flare]

Sunken ruins are accurate though 😆

[rain flare]

Can you make mead yet?

Very important in swamp

[solar plaza]

Ah yeah! Poison resist is gonna be big

[cedar warren]

i didnt found any crypt

[silk token]

you gotta start listening to the raven, literally it tells you what to do

[heady parcel]

"Sunken Crypts" are squarish, squat stone structures in the swamp with a locked gate, usually with green torches outside. Unlock with the key from the Elder and go inside to plunder.

[solar plaza]

Best find a different patch of swamp then

Sometimes they don't spawn if area is too small/thin

[fossil delta]

You could just use dev commands to spawn one in. There is a wiki, etc....

Yeah, even large looking swamps can have no crypts. Or spawners. You can be lucky to just find flowers. They usually have plenty of mobs, though.

[solar plaza]

Worst case scenario, if you really hate looking but don't want to spawn stuff in, you could go use the valheim map Gen website and find what you need

(Breaks immersion a bit, but you do you

[heady parcel]

One tactic is to sail along swamp coastline and look for green torches - if you see green torches and a squarish shape, that's a crypt. It's rarely worth your time to land in narrow swamps jammed between the ocean and a mountain for example, those very rarely have anything interesting in them.

[fossil delta]

Even the smaller swamps can have flowers. I want those ASAP.

[solar plaza]

Flowers?

[fossil delta]

You've played this before, yes?

[heady parcel]

Yeah, turnips are game changers. My first playthrough I couldn't find turnips for days, was getting so frustrated!

[solar plaza]

Ah

||ahem Yeah sorry, I just called em individual items of a particular interest lol||

[fossil delta]

I was being a little ambiguous since they are a new player.

And I don't remember how to grey out my posts like that.

[solar plaza]

Fair nuff, sorry I can be a bit daft in that regard

It's two | on either side

[fossil delta]

Ah, yeah, thanks.

[rain flare]

The chicken before the egg kinda vibes 😉

[solar plaza]

Yeh fair point

[heady parcel]

Heh, I can even see the boiling sea and the spikes from my balcony, this outpost is well placed. Now just wait for dawn and set off!

[solar plaza]

me sitting here with ptsd of my first landing solo

Yup have fun with that

Totally not dangerous at all

[bright crag]

when are these lazy devs releasing an update? no sign of life in like 6 months...

[solar plaza]

Cant rush art

[merry pebble]

Ah yes, we didnt even get any word from them... Oh, wait, what are the monthly updates we get quite regularly called again? 😄

[solar plaza]

Would you prefer an EA release or a thing of beauty?

[heady parcel]

It will be released when it is ready. Also worth noting that Deep North will come with 1.0, so the Big One. More than "just" another biome.

[bright crag]

not even monthly anymore..

[warped wing]

guys i think i figured it out! i set my render scale* to 50% - and now my computer doesn't overheat anymore 🙂 it also means my valheim can still look beautiful!

[tacit crystal]

Been since Summer break.

[bright crag]

i mean come on they sold like 2 million copies in the first few months of the launch and they didnt hire a single other worker after that

[solar plaza]

You too? How'd you adjust the nativity?

[tacit crystal]

5 -> 15ish workers since EA release.

[warped wing]

oh sorry i meant render scale*

[solar plaza]

Ah lol

[bright crag]

sure

[merry pebble]

Now this is just false 😄 Its been monthly at least since January 2024, the only exception being the month they are on vacation every year 🙂

[heady parcel]

And they've been doing quite well. I don't know about you but I prefer new updates well worked through and ready when released, rather than a rushed mess. Also, throwing more people on a project in progress is not guaranteed success. You have to spend time training people and having them learn the project and its code first. Takes a shitload of time. I am quite happy to wait for DN until it is ready, whenever that is. There's plenty to do in the meantime.

[bright crag]

oh wow true, these months just feel so long i guess

[merry pebble]

Just be patient 🙂 when we get the update it will be amazing and worth the wait, i am quite certain of that.

[bright crag]

I always want the quickest release especially in singleplayer or co-op games since the players give the best feedback and quickest ways to fix problems

I mean why wouldn't you release a harmless prototype to get the quickest and the best feedback from the people who play the game?

[tacit crystal]

Because developers have their own vision of the game which they follow.

Sure, players can suggest additions in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 and developers may add ideas if they personally see them fit. Many things have been added in game by suggestions.

[near furnace]

so the 11 extra developers doesn't count 🤔

[tacit crystal]

But like people said above, Deep North is coming and it will be worth it. Meanwhile you can still play new playthroughs and try some new playstyles or you can have a break from the game and return when the update is here.

[heady parcel]

Needs to be playable and up to some semblance of standard in an early access title. What we are doing here is basically a very drawn out playtesting, to be fair. And as far as early access goes, Valheim is by far the cleanest one I have ever played in terms of polish and quality. Would it be nice with quicker updates? Sure, but not at the cost of quality.

[solar plaza]

And being fully honest, we got some good devs which actually are willing to hear us out. Ain't no bungee that's for sure.

So best give em some credit for working on stuff this late into the game without making the new biomes a paid dlc

[light moat]

No sign of life in 6 months?… when did call to arms come out??

[bright crag]

nothingburger of an update

[solar plaza]

( '_')

[fossil delta]

OK, you just lost all credibility with me. Glad I wasn't participating in this talk in the first place.

[solar plaza]

🤦‍♂️

[lone rampart]

Someone’s salty about dying to TWIG…

[near furnace]

be nice people 🤔

[light moat]

Well hold on, I’m genuinely curious, why do you feel it was a nothingburger 🤔

[lone rampart]

I’ll be as nice as they are, boss 😇

[bright crag]

the talismans were boring af, only 1 armorset and like 1 weapon as far as i remember might have been something else in there too idk

[merry cedar]

I'm just curious why a single modder can release the entire deep north combat content in three months when it takes a full staffed, well funded development team of 15 a year..

[light moat]

Gotcha, I mean that’s fair- if you’re not a fan of the content, it is what it is. Personally I really enjoyed the combat changes and the new mobs, but I get why it’s not for everyone.

[near furnace]

combat update was only ment to get feedback on the fighting and addressing the sloped combat issue that almost every single player complained about 🤔

[merry pebble]

I would at the very least read the detailed patchnotes again 🙂

[near furnace]

🤷

I am.. quite comfident that our deep north will blow alot of minds

[heady parcel]

So you not liking it translates to "no sign of life"? Now you're just trolling. Besides, sloped combat fix was one of the most wanted things ever judging by suggestions and angry reddit rants...

[near furnace]

so the "single modder" 's version is a pale copy paste job in comparison

[light moat]

What modder made Deep North in 3 months 🤔

[bright crag]

sure i guess they might have fixed that but thats literally the bare minimum, and exactly as stratag said some other modders create content way faster than a well funded game company whats that all about

[merry cedar]

It should be 15 people x 4 quarters = 60 X better.

Fingers crossed it's 60X better...

[near furnace]

atleast 68x+1% better

[bright crag]

we'll see

in 2027

[heady parcel]

Sigh. Modders making shit cannot be compared to actually developing the very platform they are modding. Modders can do whatever they want without caring one whit about how it affects any systems, as long as the mod works they happy.

[solar plaza]

And I'd be fine seeing it then

[near furnace]

Cyberviking 2099? 😄

[light moat]

I’m still curious which Deep North mod took 3 months to make 🤔

[fossil delta]

When you publicly state that modding is just as difficult as creating a game from scratch... Anyways, I have a game to play.

[merry cedar]

It's more difficult, because they don't have access to the soure code.

[near furnace]

🤔

[bright crag]

in what world would that be fine

[light moat]

I’d like to see perspective from a mod maker on that

[near furnace]

@dapper jetty <--

he usually is around 😄

[merry cedar]

They're too busy creating content during the draught between yearly updates.

[merry pebble]

This one 🙂

[solar plaza]

In the "I have a lot i can do in the meantime, or play another game if I'm bored while waiting world."

[bright crag]

genuinely slowest early acces game progress i've seen in a long while from a game

[light moat]

Which is the deep north mod that was made in 3 months time? 🤔

[merry pebble]

Then go do something else and please stop the nonsensical jabs at the developing time 🙂

[light moat]

I mean, if you feel the progress of the game is too slow, that’s fair- nothing wrong with having an opinion 🤔

But I’m just curious where the stance comes from.

[solar plaza]

And opinions are just fine, just don't go tearing good devs down

[near furnace]

<-- bad dev

can't even make deep north 🤷

will have to make shallow south instead

[near furnace]

won't get done any faster to be honest

[heady parcel]

You already did, and it buuuuurns

[near furnace]

[bright crag]

just being bored good games get pushed back and everytime i wait in excitement subnautica 2 ark 2 gta 6 for a good game it leaves me feeling betrayed by the team like if you're going to promise a game for a time then you better get the game out at that time

[bright crag]

yeah sure the game cant be updated sure

well if you rush a game you get valuable feedback from the players on what needs to be improved and update the game accordingly?

[lone rampart]

Ok this person is clearly not serious

[heady parcel]

Well, you might like to get broken crap and wait years for it to actually be playable, but I am grateful IG don't work that way.

[merry pebble]

Sadly seems like big blue friend indeed...

[bright crag]

I'd play shit for a year and then something good than nothing for a year and then something good idk about you

[near furnace]

like 5% gives feedback, 95% gives bad reviews 🤔

[bright crag]

i swear im not trolling

[frozen fable]

And bad reviews last a lot longer than an update that might fix a few issues

[near furnace]

yup

[merry pebble]

Not to mention that if you would push out a version unfinished like Koplini wants people would report mostly stuff you knew about already anyway...

[near furnace]

most people who writes a bad review, never goes back to the game. or even change a bad review even if they like the game after being fixed

[near furnace]

well.. Koplini wants public testing

[merry pebble]

I am very sorry but it 100% seems like you do

[near furnace]

which we have done 100's of times by now

[light moat]

I don’t think he’s trolling, he’s just sharing his opinion 🤔
Might be unpopular and we disagree with it, but if we just namecall and bash, I don’t think we’ll be changing any minds

[near furnace]

yup

[heady parcel]

Well, thing is we already have something good to play, what we are waiting for is the final icing on the cake, and I very much prefer that to be up to the same standard instead of them landing a rushed update that breaks stuff that's been working for years, just to sate some people who go me me me more more more.

[bright crag]

already did everything man, theres not even achievements to complete cmon

[merry pebble]

Of VERY early version, which you probably know has lot of problems already and are working on fixing them, not to mention it would not have all the content if it would be pushed out in the state they seem to want.

[solar plaza]

Then move on to a different game and come back

[frozen fable]

1638 hours from me on a game that has not hit 1.0 and I paid $20 for it at launch

[lone rampart]

There’s also a thing called common courtesy. How much are you going to listen to someone that barges into your home and insults the decor?

[light moat]

This is just much as his space as it ours 🙂

[lone rampart]

Exactly, which is to say, not much at all

It’s Iron Gate’s space; we just occupy it

Some of us pass through, some stick around. But all of us are guests.

[light moat]

To be clear, I do disagree with his stance
It’s 1000% up to the developer to decide how long it takes to make their product.
It’s 1000% up to the player to decide if they want to purchase a product that is incomplete (early access)

[frozen fable]

I have played this game so long I remember the original Mistlands beta

[near furnace]

and at the end of the day, complaining won't help nor will it speed up the development process

Heck no, spawners there, at least three of them. I want to make sure I have a good retreat position before I creep closer to try and take them out.

But I don't want my workbench to burn so I'll have to wait a while

[solar plaza]

You're smarter then I was then lol, didn't realise they were spawners till after I landed and started fighting lol

[summer fern]

Do wards have a 30 meter spawn block range like I thought, or only 20 like the wiki says?(please ping me if replying)

[merry pebble]

20 should be accurate afaik 🤔

[summer fern]

Thanks I feel it would be nice if upgraded to 30, a middle spawn blocker between workbenches and artisan tables. Plus could go with its name with it warding off spawns.

[solar plaza]

Btw what is actually considered a meter in game?

[merry pebble]

The short normal wood beam is 1m

Or the small wooden floor, thats 1mx1m

Game is more into the survival aspect rather than rpg.

i see thanks

[true vapor]

it's definitly my favorite game of all time. I hate that lots of games these days are trying to be "ultra realistic", like yeah the game is pretty but 1. You need a BEEFY high performance PC to play it, and 2. The game is visually better than the actual gameplay itself. Valheim's art reminds me of Runescape, it has so much to offer with it's simple, unqiue but beautiful visuals, the pixelated look they went with gives it a special kind of charm. Does the game have it's flaws? Of course, but all games do. That's just my opinion.

I think more game developers should focus on what makes the game "fun" and not "realistic"

Valheim is certainly doing a good job of that

should i fight elder or bonemass now that i have copper

[true vapor]

It's generally better to fight the bosses in order, I would say Elder. So that way you can get the Crypt Key so you can advance to Iron to get better armor/tools to be better prepared for Bonemass. I think you can only really find the items (withered bones) to summon Bonemass in the crypts. I could be wrong, if you go into a swamp and find a ruin with a chest they.. (may) have withered bones. I would have to look it up though.

*Swamp Key

[true vapor]

Yeah that one 😂

[weak girder]

Hey

[opaque berry]

rainworld!

[weak girder]

Yep

HEY SHUFFLE

STOP IT

CAN'T I GO AFK

[near furnace]

I didn't do anything to you

[weak girder]

oh

ok well you did to my freind

[near furnace]

but your friend where playing Roblox and streaming it with his mic and sound muted

[weak girder]

Yes he's afk

Temporary

Also why do you have an AI pfp

AI is lame

[opaque berry]

why do people use ai for that.... a default pfp is infinitely more respectable

[weak girder]

Did you guys use AI in the making of valheim

[weak girder]

Yea

[weak girder]

You guys used AI in the making of valheim didn't you

[keen sierra]

wait about invisible pfp?

[weak girder]

Everything is better then an AI pfp

[near furnace]

so you just started throwing insults now?

[weak girder]

Asking

It true AI is lame

[near furnace]

no AI ever involved

[weak girder]

I don't understand why would you have it

You can literally get a random cat picture

It would be a Milion times cuter and better

[keen sierra]

not certainly better but it's bit annoying to see.......

[forest jacinth]

valheim huh? any fans

[keen sierra]

just longtime veteran me here

[weak girder]

Yes it is AI is the absolute worst sure it's good for help and questions (it's lies alot too) but it's putting alot of people out of jobs

Coders,builders,any type of cashier's

And maybe even power work like mining and even police

[chrome badge]

This is pretty off topic

[keen sierra]

AI looks better but it's annoying to see at same time though

[weak girder]

No it's just confusing and annoying

[keen sierra]

it's my option, i don't like it much because i hate feeling that how much AI slop have taken over, so we should stop talking about this now.

[weak girder]

Can I play valheim and watch a video in the side?

Or am I gonna get the firing squad for doing so

[tacit crystal]

Valheim is allowed to stream in this server, if that's what you're asking.

[chrome badge]

Like a voice chat stream...?

[weak girder]

Iam talking about streaming it and watching someone like dean withers on the side

You know

Like on the side of the screen

[chrome badge]

That'd be against the rules

[weak girder]

But iam streaming the game?

Playing it and just watching a video

[chrome badge]

Not just the game though
