[plush umbra]

guys can you build inside burial chambers now?

[tacit crystal]

Not without mods/devcommands.

[plush umbra]

i put a campfire down so i guess campfires are exceptions?>

in the middle

[tacit crystal]

Oh, I mean things that require workbench.

[plush umbra]

oh i see that make sense

[near furnace]

some things can be placed down without a campfire

like the logbench

why?
because it's nice 🤔

and signs

[tacit crystal]

Wisplights, iron pit etc.

[plush umbra]

i see thanks

[forest jacinth]

logbench can put in dungeons?

hello 11 minute comfort

[plush umbra]

doesnt the troll armor lowkey kinda op? its like playing skyrim all over again

[tacit crystal]

Troll armor has been solid choice since the start and can carry comfortably through swamps even.
The difference between bronze armor is total of 6 less armor (at same quality) and no movement speed penalty (bronze armor has -10%), plus +15 sneak bonus when wearing full set and cape.
Now there is also bear armor that has armor rate between bronze and troll armor but has more meaningful set bonus. It increases hp/stamina regen and chop/slash damage but makes you slightly vulnerable to physical damage (doesn't affect to blocking tho).
If you want to min max armor rate without movement speed penalty, highest armor would be granted by equipping bronze helmet paired with bear chest and loincloth pieces.

[plush umbra]

thats actually what i was gonna do mix and match and then i saw how easy it is to farm troll leather so i just went full troll armor and just upgrade it till i get a stronger one

im still kinda stupid so i dont wanna try the bear rmor just yet

[tacit crystal]

The set bonus is granted only when you equip full bear set.

[forest jacinth]

bear set is more fun

[tacit crystal]

Having troll hood with bear armor makes you look like Skeletor.

[candid basalt]

I want a hood/mask from Brenna. Can be ghost rider on a lox that way

[lone rampart]

I want a cultist mask. Or Geirrhafa. Or both!

[plush umbra]

does slightly weak vs blunt and etc from bear armor means what i think it means?

but i do get the benefits of having high regen so i guess ill use it on some occasions

[foggy glacier]

If you think it means that you take 25% more damage , then yes

[plush umbra]

i see

[candid basalt]

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a greydwarf

[plush umbra]

true true

[exotic silo]

U will rarely get hit if you're using a bear paw too

Just circle the enemy after each punch.

[tacit crystal]

You take 1,25x damage.

[plush umbra]

interesting

[tacit crystal]

Or open with kick which has 6x stagger multiplier.

[raw token]

@edgy warren You never have enough iron. Even when you think you do, you don't. You'll be mining iron till the end of time...

[steel mica]

@edgy warren Barely enough iron

[forest jacinth]

Mined 800kg of silver all gone after 2 items 😂

[foggy glacier]

Silver is so darn heavy!

[lone rampart]

Seriously? I barely use silver (not that that’s stopped me from building a stockpile)

[foggy glacier]

Frostner uses a lot. Silver sword uses even more.

[paper marsh]

I barely use silver but this run I might try silver sword which is real expensive if upgraded

[forest jacinth]

I made a level 2 wolf coat and a level 2 silver shield

I got like 14 left lol

Also built butcher table and stufg

[paper marsh]

Oh yeah I forget there’s a silver shield

Ive been skipping that lately

[foggy glacier]

I love the look of the silver shield.

It's really too bad about the hand-hold/animation for the spear. It'd look awesome with a one-handed jab through the cutout in the shield.

[forest jacinth]

I want to parry the golems

[foggy glacier]

You can, with the right food & equipment.

[forest jacinth]

I was explaining my reasoning for the shield lol

[foggy glacier]

ah, sorry.

[turbid cipher]

True, it's overkill for the meadows

[candid basalt]

I love farming golems with parry and a mace

[pearl cargo]

mace is my favourite weapon 100%

[short gale]

Whats so good abt the frostner? Takes a couple more swings on most than the silver sword

[real pike]

dmg type, knockback

[merry pebble]

The elemental dmg, enemies that resist physical dmg still take most of all frostners dmg and it slows them down. I still preffer weapons with less knockback tho 🙂

[real pike]

i dont really like it myself

[merry pebble]

I do appreciate it, but its not for me 😄

[short gale]

Yeah swords faster

[merry pebble]

Maces and swords have exactly the same swing speed as they have the same animations 😉

[foggy glacier]

A lot of people like it for the slow.

[real pike]

mistwalker

[merry pebble]

Yep, like that one a LOT 😄

[short gale]

Maybe I just need to use it a lil more to get a good comparison

[foggy glacier]

I find the knockback on frostner a bit of a pain since you have to step forward to get the third hit in.

[merry pebble]

If you dont mind the high knockback it is really good weapon 🙂

[real pike]

i found mistwalker a bit lackluster

[merry pebble]

Why?

[real pike]

design and dmg

[foggy glacier]

IMHO for the point in progression, Frostner is a better choice than silver sword because of the damage type. Unless you go back into swamp for more iron, the frost/blunt combo offers more damage than the slash against most creatures in mountain/plains/mistlands.

[short gale]

Good info, thanks

[merry pebble]

Only biome it is clearly better than silver sword is mistlands, in both mountains and plains silver sword will do pretty much the same dmg.

[fading shore]

Silversword even outdamges Frostner in the Ashlands

[merry pebble]

Yep, due to its VERY high spirit dmg 🙂
But frostner still shines in mistlands

[nocturne wolf]

It does more damage than mistwalker against charred and valkyries

[merry pebble]

-# With lower stamina cost non the less 😄

[solar plaza]

Which honestly i can appreciate, it's kinda nice that a weapon a few biomes back managed to come back into the limelight

[fading shore]

Also because it is so expensive to Upgrade

[merry pebble]

Well, you dont use the silver for much else anyway 😄 you can as well spend it on the sword

[tacit crystal]

It also melts ||viles||.

-# Had to double check someone didn't mention that and feel like Internet Explorer again.

[short gale]

Ive just died a third time just trying to explore my first frost cave lmao

[chrome badge]

The right of passage 😄

[short gale]

Once in the cave from the fire boi, on the way back. Finally got to it, rekt some scrubs. Come out - take some fall dmg, 1 star wolf finishes me off

[merry pebble]

Thats not so bad then 😄

[short gale]

I thought I could go without signs but I realized on my reentry I will def need them

[merry pebble]

Oh, to navigate in cave?

[short gale]

Yeah its wild in there geez

[merry pebble]

I usually just stick to "always left" rule 😄 works well even in the caves

Tho sometimes they can generate in a way you actually have to remember where you have already been xD

[lone rampart]

“Always left” works great in burial chambers and crypts but then those mountain caves went and added a third dimension! 🤣

[merry pebble]

Hehe, indeed and i like it quite a lot, probably my favourite dungeon

[lone rampart]

I want to build an icy fortress in one. Preferably one with a lil fishing pond!

[merry pebble]

Could be cool to make something in one of those BIG caves that have golems in them 😄

[mild jolt]

is there any server i can join for casual playing ?

[tacit crystal]

Check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[lone rampart]

I know that “lfg” means looking for game/group/something of that nature but every time I see it my brain instead translates it as “let’s f[reaking] go”

[mild jolt]

thank you, i haven't played in a while

[paper marsh]

Yeah I get that. For me its just a lot of silver to like, get a shield that's 8% better at parrying when fully upgraded

[paper marsh]

Silver sword does sound very nice, I'm gonna use it next time I make it to Ashlands

Its only issues is it does little damage to askvin and it does practically no stagger, but a lot of ashlands mobs have big enough health pools and stagger thresholds that stagger becomes less useful anyways

[forest jacinth]

might be my own skill issue or maybe it's because i have the combat difficulty raised but i was not getting any parries with the buckler; the silver banded shield proved well on golems

[paper marsh]

Might have been just outside the threshold or something

On hard it takes about 144 hp to parry a golem with silver shield, and 155 with iron buckler

Though there's some randomness too that sometimes lets you get parries at lower hp

[forest jacinth]

i had serp stew and 2 feasts

the banded shield clearly just made me have a better mindset 🥲

[candid basalt]

“Let Fulings Giggle”

[lone rampart]

Loxen Farting Gassily

[candid basalt]

This is why fire resist is so good in the plains. Too many torches wandering around with farting lox

[paper marsh]

Plains does have several things that tend to make me weak to fire

Fire resist is very nice

[lone rampart]

scampers off to suggestions to submit lox flamethrowers 🔥

[candid basalt]

”afterburners”

Quick way to make roads by burning the grass as you go

[lone rampart]

Just imagine the sudden surge of lox drag-racing 🏎️

[pliant hatch]

It explains why Smiffe isn't in favour of Lox' pulled cars.......

Just imagine being forced to drink an anti-poison potion ànd a fire barley wine just to survive a trip with your cart when it's pulled by a lox...

[candid basalt]

Plus the cart would need to be built of fire resistant material

[pliant hatch]

Which absolutely would rule out the Dark Wood.

[lone rampart]

Another use for ceramic plates?

[pliant hatch]

Or black metal.

[lone rampart]

Or both

[candid basalt]

Black metal needs more uses

[lone rampart]

I thought ceramic would be necessary for grausten so I kinda…ground up all our marble >_<

[candid basalt]

We need more building materials. Black metal fences, decor etc

Troll hide comforters

[lone rampart]

Wall tapestries. My stone houses are cold!

[slate glacier]

kinda hoping deep north introduces a way to get blackmetal from the environment.

and by that i mean pre-cooked.

[merry pebble]

Somebody wants to skip Moder for progression 😏

[lone rampart]

I hope not; I get entirely too much from the little giggle-freaks

[merry pebble]

They mean already smelted BM 😄

[candid basalt]

I hope deep north adds potatoes. I want potato stews

[lone rampart]

No potatoes for you! They’re still in South America at this point in history

[slate glacier]

what are the odds low% in v1.x is going to be doable without moder...

[lone rampart]

You’ll eat your turnips and you’ll like them!

[forest jacinth]

I hope deep north adds coffee

[candid basalt]

Nooo we have modern carrots and those were 1700s

[slate glacier]

i wasn't too surprised that fader can be done first, but i think its starting to stretch what can be done pre-moder.

[candid basalt]

Tasty mead is better by far

[lone rampart]

Caffeinated mead? Sign me up.

[forest jacinth]

Coffee beans for yellow food 😄

[lone rampart]

And I don’t mean in the game!

[candid basalt]

What do you think is in ratatosk?

[lone rampart]

Squirrel bits.

We’re not even gonna talk about the animal whispers mead 🫣

[candid basalt]

Yes … and meth, er coffee.

[gray sand]

Remove tool damage from enemies. - Eikthyr Unskippable.
Remove the chair glitch for crypt doors - Elder unskippable.
Remove materials saying "too hard" unless you're using the proper tool type - Bonemass unskippable.
Moder is fine.
Mist slightly damages you without the Wisp - Yagluth unskippable.
Increase ash water temperature by 300% - Queen unskippable.

A man can dream of a perfect world.. 😭

[forest jacinth]

Im pretty sure you'd need to remove all iron drops to make elder unskippable lok

[slate glacier]

elder is still skippable the same way as mass, and eik in at least 1 version each. and no, I would rather these skips exist, the speedrun is already long enough as is.

[gray sand]

I would rather no skips exist.

But "game instantly kills you if you step in a biome 2 past the last boss you defeated" is a bit too extreme. 😁

[lone rampart]

I tried a “beat every boss in 100 days” challenge and I came to the realization I am the exact opposite of a speedrunner. I don’t know how anyone can play this game fast

[forest jacinth]

Naked with a bow

[lone rampart]

is a slothwalker 🦥

[merry pebble]

Tin, copper and bronze have other rources than ore nodes.
Iron can be fount outside crypts.
Often you can eyeball where silver can be.
You can find path without mist or outheal the dmg.
You would have to add "No building on spikes" to make it properly difficult.

So nothing would be trully unskippable, just much hrder than it is now.

[gray sand]

No. Not a sloth walker. Movement slowed by the amount of dancing 😉

[lone rampart]

And gibbering apparently 😅

[gray sand]

Instant death as stated is too extreme.
So I will settle for "much harder." 😁

[slate glacier]

now im curious how much they've broken the game since I last ran it.

[candid basalt]

I’m a mumble caster mage myself

Gibbering means you can’t do stealth builds

[paper marsh]

I don’t think the bonemass change would be much harder. Ive found a lot of silver by just randomly digging

[candid basalt]

If there’s a golem there is probably silver around I find

[merry pebble]

Well, no real correlation between the two 😄
But if it works as means of finding silver for you then no reason to stop.

[tacit crystal]

There was one trick in Reddit someone showed how to spot silver easily. 👀

[merry pebble]

Oooh, which one was that? 😄

[tacit crystal]

||Dig hole, put log bench so it clips inside terrain, sit on bench inside terrain and see through terrain||.

[merry pebble]

Ooooh, smart 😄

Bit more "cheezy" than stagbreaker imo, but smart

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, never occured to my mind to think about it lol.

Kinda like how ||trolls can break silver and obsidian while stone golems can't||.

One could technically get silver quite easily before iron with those tricks.

[slate glacier]

well it'll make my low% less tedious, so thanks!

[fossil delta]

It would take all the fun out of it, personally. This game is not about beating the boss' to me. Its about the exploration, the building, the "living" you do while building up to defeat the next boss. Beating a boss is just about ending a phase and starting the next one. Its not what I play this game for. Its the experiences and challenges and just seeing how much this world differs from all the others I have explored.

[lone rampart]

Yeah I got through the Elder and lost interest because I was just sprinting towards an arbitrary finish line

[pliant radish]

Yeah I’m usually most excited when I’m building a new base in a new biome after the boss fight

[tired depot]

Is there a release date for next years ps5 drop of valheim? Or just somewhere next year?

[merry pebble]

Just next year.

[tired depot]

Oh

Thank you

[gray sand]

Wait for January and all the "It's 2026 now where is my update?" people 😉

[lone rampart]

It will probably be announced or narrowed down in the future; keep an eye on #news

[merry pebble]

Yep, was that way with ashlands at the very least 🙂 so we could expect something similar with DN eventually

[true vapor]

My wife loves to abuse me in Valheim... can't explain it

[gray sand]

🤔

[fossil delta]

As someone who also plays Valheim with their wife, I think I can make some good guesses. 😄 😄

[lone rampart]

How so? totally not taking notes

[fossil delta]

Possibly things like, dragging you into the swamp at night, or dragging you out onto the plains, day or night, in bear armor and on BF foods. OR, dragging you into the Mistlands, without wisps. But at least you have silver gear.

[true vapor]

Nah, I do that. She beats me up for not making her tools, or for mispeaking 🤣

Its like... im her slave

[edgy warren]

Anyone know why someone can't see my pings- everyone else can just not one person, they play with control if that changes anything

[true vapor]

We enabled friendly fire so shes just been beating the hell out of me

[lone rampart]

So long as it remains virtual violence then this is fine

[dark coyote]

I wish you could host pvp worlds where your spawn is random and only you can see it

[lone rampart]

That might be possible with certain mods but I’m not sure

[true vapor]

Oh yeah. Only in game. 🤣

[lone rampart]

Then build an arena and go nuts

[fossil delta]

Everyone can see everyone else on the mini map?

[dark coyote]

you can turn it off

[edgy warren]

Yea

[gray sand]

You actually have to turn that on to begin with.
No one can see anyone by default.

[edgy warren]

We can all see each other just one person can't see my pings

[dark coyote]

I know thats not a reverse effect because I've joined worlds with it off and I could see peopless pings

[edgy warren]

It was working fine for about 2 weeks then one day later it just stopped working

[edgy warren]

Like he can still see my location just not pings

[fossil delta]

I have no ideas. Apparently no one else does either. I mean, they can be hard to spot at times, but they are still there.

[paper marsh]

Honestly flesh rippers are hella good in mistlands

[winter jungle]

Aren't the ones of the plains better ? For the fists I mean

[short gale]

Can wolves only be tamed in the mountains?

[opal prairie]

Tamed anywhere but only found in the mountains.

[hasty geyser]

I forgot how much i love this game

[short gale]

Ah I think I am frightening them too often

[paper marsh]

Yeah but if you're only in mountains gear you don't have plains gear

Also sidenote but blobs hit hard :(

Got a little worried it might end my permadeath run hopping off my boat to get some turnips

[winter jungle]

Why would go to mistlands without plains gear ? Other a boss is locked around mistlands biomes

[paper marsh]

Ask Roberts wife

Though I have personally gone to mistlands too in mountains gear. It's just fun to biome skip. Pretty useful sometimes too

Like rn I'm barely in bronze gear and haven't even gotten near Elder yet, but just went scouting swamps for turnips

Flesh rippers stagger seekers with their alt attack even on vhard, I'm fairly sure

[winter jungle]

I used to like biome skipping it even formed a bad habit for me that I suffer when I play in slow paced servers xD

[paper marsh]

Understandable

I often skip to mistlands shortly after Moder because there's not much grind in plains and I don't feel like fighting yag (plus nothings really locked behind him)

Anyways even in mountains gear, a root harnesk and flesh rippers will persevere even on higher diff

[winter jungle]

People fight yag for the wisp light to clear mist in mistlands but I really love using it because a permanent light source always with me :3

And my travels feels less lonely

[winter jungle]

I seen some madlads goes in mistlands with troll armour xD

And in the mines itself

[paper marsh]

Mhm

I find the ability to skip biomes cool. For those up to the challenge

[lone rampart]

If only the wisplight randomly called out "Hey! Listen!!" 🧚‍♀️

[paper marsh]

I've been considering whether Ashlands is worth to skip to, but that biome is pretty dangerous and I don't feel like you get anything good immediately off rip

Best thing would be like food upgrade, especially as the food is mostly based on veggies and askvin (which can be tamed). But I think you also need flametal

[winter jungle]

You can easily get stone portal from it ngl

Which they are a huge help

[paper marsh]

Also sailing is so good

rn I'm running flint spear and BF food, but a little sail around the area just revealed bog witch for some nice ratatosk, turnips for a niceeeee upgrade, and a leviathan for a iron tier knife

Also just found a serpent close to shore for mistlands tier food and maybe even a fins of destiny trinket

[open roost]

when is the discount of the game on steam?

[paper marsh]

Ran into some fulings who were very helpful in killing the serpent and some starred bf mobs, but I need to get back and sleep and get rested before I am attempting to pick up these drops

[chrome badge]

[winter jungle]

It's kinda crazy how busted sea stuff in general are

The knife can work even in plains very well and very easy to max out

And the food and shield can reach even after mistland

[forest jacinth]

Yeah Serpent stew is really good, haven't used the other sea stuff

[winter jungle]

I always Craft the knife , it's so good

[paper marsh]

First fulings then BF nightspawns chased me off from getting my serpent drops and recovering my ship. Then had a raid spawn on my base while trying to get rested before going back

Game is trying to stop me from getting OP items

[short gale]

Why does capping frame rate at monitor limit seemingly reduce it overall compared to unlimited?

[paper marsh]

7 meat 8 scales and a boat recovered 😎

Now time to make some stamina food and go get me an abyssal knife

Only thing I'm missing at this point is a good shield since I'm running wood shield rn, but I really don't wanna grind copper for a bronze shield. Maybe I'll hunt some bears for fist weapons to parry and stagger some swamp fellas

[chrome badge]

Your monitor is still going to miss frames if it's incapable of displaying them, even if the system is running at higher fps.

[short gale]

I can def notice its smoother when capped but during a mountain storm I didnt like it dropped below 40 or so at a certain point

but I see, interesting

[ruby moat]

Just beat Fader for the first time!!!

[summer fern]

Congrats

[ruby moat]

now I don't know what to do with myself lol

[summer fern]

Build the best base ever?

[ruby moat]

I built an entire village base already and I don't use it lol. I've been stuck using my ashlands fortress base for so long

[grave parcel]

hey btw

[steel mica]

Plan goals

[grave parcel]

how am i suposed to know when deathsquitos see me

the sneak method stil works?

[steel mica]

When they start be-lining towards you lol

[grave parcel]

yes but i mean like

for example u see 4

and theres 2 that u dont even know that they exist

and u dead

[steel mica]

Cant do much

You just gotta be hyper aware of them

But if you are having trouble dealing with them

[grave parcel]

but sneak method shoudl still work right

[steel mica]

Wearing the root harnesk should do the trick

[grave parcel]

the eye opening while crounching means 1 noticed u

[steel mica]

Not as affective as grounded mobs since deathsquito fly and can just be line towards your position

Plus plains is open ground so no room to hide

[lone rampart]

Keep an ear open, also. You'll hear their buzzing getting louder

[steel mica]

Just wear a root harnesk or time your swing to swat them mid air or just be hyper aware of them

[grave parcel]

so gotta be very very carefoul

[steel mica]

Dodge rolling at the perfect timing can also work

[grave parcel]

cuz im playing hardcore and spear only

[steel mica]

Ah

[grave parcel]

so cant rly clear them easly with bow

[steel mica]

Dodge roll is your best friend and just swatting them mid air as they fly towards you is the best imo

deals with the threat immedietly

[grave parcel]

i hope i wont parry by accident because then im 100% dead if more than 1

[steel mica]

Wear root harnesk lol

[grave parcel]

dont remember their base dmg but iirc its about 100

so 200 on hard

[paper marsh]

90

[steel mica]

It'll atleast save your skin when you get caught off guard

[paper marsh]

135 on hard

180 on vhard

[steel mica]

by one

[grave parcel]

180 + probabvly around 40-maybe 50 armor

[paper marsh]

Wear root harnesk and mountain armor on vhard and they’ll prob do like 30 or less

But yeah sneak is a good way to tell if an enemy has noticed you, though honestly I recommend just looking around constantly

A starred enemy sneak up on you on vhard and you’re toast

[silk token]

throwing the spear at them as they approach very effective

and/or dodge roll INTO them never away from them

[paper marsh]

Was close to getting my run ended by a stray deathsquito. Saw it and dodged at the last second tho

[dark coyote]

I llike to roll towwards them

[paper marsh]

It was a miracle I managed to dodge in time, only seeing in on my screen for a moment before it reached me

Was watching a movie too so was distracted and couldn't hear it

[summer fern]

Ever spend a bunch of resources to make a stone floor higher up, then after become unsure it really needed to be stone?
I vote bragging rights lol, plus later on replacing it with black marble could be pretty.
And I don't know maybe in the future I could make use of that integrity.
Actually yea that integrity could help a bit since I wanted to hold animals on it, but if a raid happens that flies, then it would be good to have more integrity to potentially be able to add another floor on top for protecting.

[fossil delta]

Or just put a roof on it. So far normal roofing has held up fine versus the flying raid mobs.

[solar plaza]

The universal: ah what a nice day. ....zzzzzzZZZZZ oh shi...! (Proceeds to dodge rolling spasticly in a desperate attempt to survive)

[steel mica]

Am I bad for ensla- asking help from our blue friend trolls

[compact cedar]

For a long, long while now... I have wanted the ability to rename my gear. I was today years old when I accidently figured out its a thing x.x

[lone rampart]

Is it?

[compact cedar]

Yes. I dont remember how to do the spoiler tag here though.

Wait, idk, might have got excited and just renamed the pet rock...

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, renaming weapons is not a feature.

[tacit crystal]

Put || on both sides of what you want to hide under spoiler tag or use right click and press eye icon with mouse.

[compact cedar]

Relevant #screenshots available 😂

[sonic holly]

what's everyone's favorite/lesser known mods that add new building items ? im trying to get as many as possible for a l l the options lmao

[summer hinge]

Best place to look for mod suggestions would be #mods-discussion

[candid basalt]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[lone rampart]

I’m beginning to think I’m just destined for a singleplayer life 🥺 bf is the only person I know who can take 3 hours making instant ramen “just a little while before logging in”

[near furnace]

you mean || like this || || ?

[compact cedar]

Yep lol, I dont use discord often

[short gale]

Listening to Enya whilst playing Valheim wbu bae

[pliant hatch]

I had some nice Iron Maiden songs running when I played last time. Including the very appropriate: "Run to the hills" when being chased by a 1 ⭐ seeker soldier and a 2 ⭐ seeker.....

Next time I'm in Mistlands at night time, I'm gonna play "Fear of the Dark". 😼

[pale acorn]

best weapon for plains and mistland?

[solar plaza]

Depends on your playstyle.

[tacit crystal]

Any weapon can work well. Use what you like to use.

Many sleep on Porcupine tho.

[pale acorn]

i have a forstner

forstner better than porcupine?

[gray sand]

Better is subjecthive.

[tacit crystal]

Some prefer Frostner and it surely can carry you well through plains too, since the slow effect from frost damage is useful for crowd control and it deals extra damage against wet enemies, but it has poor staggering ability due to bigger part of its damage being frost damage.

[gray sand]

Others hate Frostner as it is terrible in most contexts 😉

[pale acorn]

frostner better than epic tho

[gray sand]

No.

[pale acorn]

yeah also the knockback

[tacit crystal]

Porcupine deals both blunt and pierce, both adding stagger and pierce damage being useful against Lox. Only thing it is worse damage vise than Frostner is against the boss.

[solar plaza]

Are you just trying to specialize in a certain couple weapon types?

[pale acorn]

after the boss and for mistalnds which i shhould get

[solar plaza]

If you like hammers then demolisher is fun

[pale acorn]

i like mace and swords

we have been using mace since bronze age

now forstner

[pliant hatch]

Isn't that painful with all those deathsquito needles sticking out of it?

[tacit crystal]

If you're fakir it's not as painful.

[solar plaza]

Then mistwalker is good, but they don't have a mace for mistlands, just the hammer

[pliant hatch]

Well, we need a bed made of thistles first then. So we can practice before moving on to the Porcupine.

[solar plaza]

There is Krom if you like haha funny big poke dmg

[gray sand]

Slash weapon does poke damage?

[solar plaza]

Poke being the attack lol

[tacit crystal]

Frostner deals bit more damage against certain enemies due to them ||being resistant against all physical damage types||.

[solar plaza]

I mean... might just feel like a poke to some enemies

[gray sand]

I tend to swing swords instead of poking.

[solar plaza]

True that, but krom likes being thrusted forward in a comical way, can't judge the sword for liking what it likes.

[urban inlet]

what's popping chat it's been a minute since i've been here, we got any vague idea as to deep north WHEN?

[short gale]

Ive heard around playstation release to as late as December next year

[urban inlet]

cheers lad

[tacit crystal]

Developers haven't given any estimates for Deep North, only PS5 release during 2026.

[urban inlet]

mint, gonna hibernate til 2027

[tacit crystal]

It will eventually come, but unless Iron Gate staff says otherwise any unofficial estimates remain just estimates and should not be taken as truth.

[lone rampart]

Keep #news notifications on and happy hibernating

[unique fossil]

who wanna chill with me in odins great hall?

[pliant hatch]

No thanks.

Perhaps you should ask Momento, Mori?

-# sorry, couldn't resist.

[lone rampart]

You can find some folks on #1024264966712340510 and please don’t post the same question in multiple channels. Good luck!

[summer hinge]

As others mentioned, let's not post the exact same message in several channels.

[unkempt marten]

well i just lost hardcore run

turns out 2 cultists will quite literally burn you down if you wear root armor

167 ish hp went down in 4 seconds

[dreamy kiln]

one does not fight fire with wood 😄

[lone rampart]

One apparently does and it goes as well as expected

[heady parcel]

Right, on it again after passing out on the couch after I got back from work yesterday, not played in two days and I have withdrawal - logged in and I'm completely blocked by stuff I need to do, so all I can do is stare into the fire of my hearth and turn to discord

[tired path]

I also lost a hardcore character yesterday. Was deathless all the way from the beginning of Black Forest to early Mistlands. Entered the Mistlands portal and a Gjall started attacking before I could activate the barley wine. My HP went down so damn fast, by the time I realized I was low and activated a health potion, my character died

Bows at 65, Run at 85, Sword at 57. A fully upgraded Silver Sword. All gone

[heady parcel]

So...Go back to ashlands and try to get a stone portal up so I won't have to sail back and forth...or repair my base defences so my lox-in-my-kitchen incident cannot reprise itself?

I'm leaning towards bettering my perimeter walls

It is the more sensible alternative, but it also means I have to go mine some stone because the wall will get pretty goddamn long

[dark coyote]

lox-in-a-box

[heady parcel]

It had time to make like three rear-up-and-slam attacks, and it wrecked 40% of my storage room and most of my kitchen floor

Bloody destructive beast

It was my own fault for aggroing it when on bear meat for base loitering, then realising my mistake and fleeing back to base - and only then realising the protective steps I had built did not stop lox

[dark coyote]

are you opposed to earthen walls?

[heady parcel]

I have earthen walls as core in my external walls, but they're not complete because they're loooong - and sailing around discovering stuff is more fun

[tired path]

I noticed that perimeter walls aren't really a necessity in this game

Sure, it helps to keep Greydwarves out of your lawn

But they'll eventually break through if you don't go around periodically repairing the walls

[heady parcel]

In truth I was fine without for months before I let a lox follow me to my doorstep

[tired path]

If a Lox is chasing you, you can just get out of your home and fight it outside of it. Enemies won't target your things if they can hit you instead

Perimeter walls are cute and fun to build but they're not strictly necessary

[heady parcel]

I had to get inside, I had only bear meat active

[dark coyote]

well earthen walls/trenches don't break, they just prevent pathing

[heady parcel]

one half miss and it would have wrecked me, plus it had some of its flying fleas in tow (yes I mean deathsquitos)

So I ran in, and while it was busy smashing my gate (and the storage in the basement below) I ate some feasts and brought out the I-win-stick

That's it though, I'll go complete the defences or I will eventually repeat this adventure

Me building in a four-biome crossroads makes it interesting, it's a constant warzone outside, especially at night

[heady parcel]

No invasion I have had has come anywhere near the destruction this one lox caused

[heady parcel]

OOooh cooking 38, getting close to 40 never even passed 30 before

Day 841. All it means is I have been cooking A LOT

[lone rampart]

Jealous! I feel like I’m always cooking and just barely broke 19

[heady parcel]

I bet half of the xp is from just baking neck tails plus boar and deer meat into coal

And bear meat into the "base loitering" barrel

[lone rampart]

I should do that with my deer meat. We have so much!

And like two chests of seeker meat

[heady parcel]

Just make 4-5 campfires with a heap of cooking stands, and put them all upp for baking at once. You needn't worry about burning them because that's what you want. Then just reap all ze xp!

I baked a full chest of neck tails in a few minutes that way 😄

Not lacking coal either

[tacit crystal]

Hide that mention quickly for NSFN warning.
-# NSFN = no safe for necks.

[heady parcel]

Bah, they attacked my hamstrings first!

Don't worry, their big cousins in Ashlands will soon take it out on me

[summer hinge]

[tacit crystal]

Either way you'll get angry top 1 neck enthuastic at you.

[carmine spoke]

I tried to run valheim on a pc with gtx 1650 and i core 5 12th gen and it didn't go so well

[gray sand]

YES!!!

[summer fern]

What exactly are necks in valhiem? I guess you see them a lot but I don't really understand them much. Would be pretty if there was a bigger variant covered in plant stuff.

[heady parcel]

Umm, I have run it on an ancient old PC from like 2012 with a 1030 without issues

[carmine spoke]

I now have a pc with gtx 4050 and ryzen 7 7455 hs will it probably run better?

[heady parcel]

Very much so yes

[steel mica]

Make it an april fools thing

[heady parcel]

But still, any old potato will run Valheim, basically

[carmine spoke]

I assume some updates optimized it better didn't it

[heady parcel]

Probably - and some settings are more performance heavy than others.

[nocturne wolf]

If you want them now use spawn neck MonsterAI.m_jumpInterval::0.001

[steel mica]

o

I'll have to try that when im fooling around in a cheat world

let me just copy that

[nocturne wolf]

my favourite way to play Valheim

[steel mica]

I like that I have a hearth and home runestone next to my base

[errant forge]

i see many people using this rock emoji, but did anyone actually search for it ingame or is it just me?

[steel mica]

absolutely perfect for decoration

[steel mica]

Its a rare stone varient called rocky

You can find them most commonly at blackforest or meadows

[errant forge]

yeah i found one

[steel mica]

Still quite rare but you can find them more on meadows and BF

[carmine spoke]

How grindy is valheim? I'm just wondering

[errant forge]

pretty much

[nocturne wolf]

On default it can feel pretty slow but there is a world modifier to increase resource rate if you want faster progression

[gray sand]

Scales directly with how much you want to build/upgrade.

[errant forge]

mine is holding a dvergr tankard

[gilded sun]

is anyone starting a new vanilla server or recently started

[gray sand]

I have only ever played default, and it has never felt slow?

[nocturne wolf]

it's subjecthive??

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[steel mica]

For some its quite kind sluggish if they aren't consistant

[gray sand]

I would counter that consistency makes it not sluggish, it is being intermittent that makes it slow down.

And you edit 🙁

[steel mica]

Sorry I mean aren't not are

[summer fern]

Lol was wondering how to go about killing a strong goblin village, then I got a "you are being hunted..." event. Problem solved

[steel mica]

Get a huntsman bow and start picking off key targets

shamans or brutes

[gray sand]

Eh. Any bow works.

[steel mica]

beserker I mean

[heady parcel]

Yeah Huntsman bow is awesome for picking off the strong ones before the major assault

[steel mica]

Its best with huntsman since you dont attract the entire damn village to your location

[heady parcel]

Any bow works, but the Huntsman is nice to not pull to much heat while picking off the fire spitting ones

[gray sand]

Best is subjecthive.
And unless you shoot past the closest guy, you aren't drawing the entire village.

[heady parcel]

Still makes a difference in the more densely populated villages

[steel mica]

Shamans giving shields is a nightmare

Especially if theres multiple

[gray sand]

You and I define "nightmare" very differently 🤔

[errant forge]

iron sledge counters them

[steel mica]

Not unless you get swarmed maybe

[steel mica]

Yes

[heady parcel]

I've found that iron sledge is a wee bit risky to depend on when solo, it is veeeery slow, and when you have lots of angry little green guys on you, waiting for that whole animation is sometimes not an option

Has its places to shine, but to me gobbo villages have never been one of them

[gray sand]

The only enemy that would constitute "nightmare" in my mind is if shamans applied shields to growths.

Everything else is manageable.

[summer fern]

I don't have a huntsmen bow but lead them through a swamp after the wolves

[heady parcel]

Now in a group, with one guy doing the ME SMASH routine, another dishing out maximum damage and an archer mopping up random adds, I can see it being very useful. But solo... not really, outside of dungeons and other cheezy uses.

[valid python]

They're amazing for dealing with bats and ticks

[heady parcel]

Aye, and broods, and anything hiding behind indestructible walls. But as main weapons, not that great.

[valid python]

Yeah, most certainly a utility wepon.

[errant forge]

is it intended by the game to be able to hit through walls?

[heady parcel]

Now, if they were to give sledges a primary combo and make the "me smash" move its secondary, they'd become a lot more interesting

[heady parcel]

"Intended" as in nothing has been done to prevent it

AoE damage by mobs ignore our defences too, so I suppose it is fair

[summer fern]

Lol just had a abomination follow me to pick off survivors in the goblin village

[valid python]

I use Frostner/Demolisher with Ripper to cover ranged.

Very slow, tanky style where in I am to use Frostner to slow mobs down to my pace.

[nocturne wolf]

Some attacks can and some attacks can't, so yes
@heady parcel

there is a variable on attack data for devs to easily toggle this for any vertical and horizontal hitboxes. spherical hitboxes always hit through walls

for example, you can with a battleaxe primary but not sword primary

[errant forge]

understood

anyway, good night guys, im going to sleep

[valid python]

Speaking of the Fulings do you reckon the vendors trade with them? Like in lore? Or if Fulings and Dvergr trade?

Because like... they each drop/accept the same currency.

[heady parcel]

We have some odd design decisions right there. Personally, seeing a troll bashing my wall - but dying before demolishing said wall - yet wiping out my entire veggy garden inside that wall, that put me off a whole lot. It did teach me to put my crops away from perimeter walls, but sheesh

[heady parcel]

They kill each other on sight, so I think it is safe to say they don't trade, they take.

[summer fern]

Anyone else enjoy just leading a bunch of enemies through a hostile area to them? The village is dead now

[heady parcel]

It is a very enjoyable thing

[night lion]

Hey, I would like to play with someone here. However, my English is not very good. I have already finished the game up to the Mistlands, but I would like to help people on their first playthrough

[heady parcel]

My fave is tricking fuling villages to engage with nearby tar pits

[summer fern]

Lol I wanted todo that, but a swamp was the next best option

[heady parcel]

But kiting an angry gjall to a dvergr tower and watching the fireworks is EXTREMELY enjoyable

[summer fern]

What happens if you summon a troll and essentially hit a gjall with a meteor?

[heady parcel]

I don't do magic so I have not the faintest idea

[summer fern]

I am only plains level in my current playthrough, so sadly can't test it, plus getting a hit would be hard.

[valid python]

I imagine it would survive since it takes a lot less damage from the top than the bottom.

And they have quite a lot if health

[summer fern]

Maybe, unsure though as the explosion has a big radius, am unsure if it would really count as "from the top"

I mean plus you are still dropping a meteor on it lol.

[valid python]

Would still be cool af.

[heady parcel]

All you gotta do is gett that staff and go do science!

[valid python]

When I find another Bloodstone, perhaps I will.

[summer fern]

Wooden tools seem like a nice way to try out new weapons/encourage that.

[nocturne wolf]

If the aoe is positioned right to only hit the weak point it should take weak point damage but that would be hard to test.
A trollstav aoe deals 50 pure damage, 300 fire damage, 100 chop damage and 100 pickaxe damage, so it would take a lot to kill a gjall. You would need to kill the trolls to make enough spawns.

If it hits the main body it will only deal 150 of the fire damage, and the chop/pickaxe will always be ignored

[steel mica]

I will die a million times to get this 2** boar back home

[summer fern]

Goodluck, I love 2 star boars, makes me want 3 star creatures as like some late game thing/way to upgrade.

3 star neck

[heady parcel]

This time around I just never bothered taming anything, everything comes right onto my doorstep and dies...

[summer fern]

A deep north ingredient that allows upgrading a 2 star tame to 3 star?
Also are the creatures around your base doing okay derleth?

[spare cairn]

ngl, I didnt realize there was a modded screenshots, Sry Smiffe

[heady parcel]

There's a constant creature war outside, I make two or three runs every game day to pick up the loot. The neck tails and boar/deer meat I burn for coal, while everything else is saved for later. I am still wanting for stone now that I started really leaning into making proper walls around my county

[summer fern]

What is causing the war?

[heady parcel]

I built my base in a four and a half biome crossing. Meadows, Plains, Black Forest and Swamp collide exactly where I built my house. Just up the hill is a tall mountain too, close enough for wolves to come join the fray sometimes...

[summer fern]

Wow, it fun? I vote you make a tv room that is really just a window to the fighting.

[heady parcel]

Indeed

Only sometimes wraiths fly through my windows to make things interesting 😄

Big upside is that I have both Hildir and the Bog Witch within sight

[summer fern]

You save that seed?

[heady parcel]

I'm still on it so it shouldn't be hard to extract

[summer fern]

I hope you share it if okay to say. In the seeds channel I think, haven't used it.

[heady parcel]

I could dm it to you, but I would leave it up to you to find the SPECIAL place 😄

[summer fern]

Oh thanks but I likely won't use it, I just thing sometime posting in the seed channel could be nice.

[heady parcel]

Ah right, I might do that then, I always just go with what the rng gods decide to give me, I like it better that way

[summer fern]

I am confused I fed boars but they don't seem to be going to eachother to breed.

[heady parcel]

Is it a very small pen? Might be too crowded, they want some personal space. Otherwise, just leave them alone and they'll get cosy eventually

Also kill any greylings, greys or other mobs nearby that might be spooking them

[summer fern]

Might be too big of a pen, as the wiki says 3 meters but the pen is 4 by 6 tiles. So 8 by 12 meters

[heady parcel]

Nah, in that case just let them be, eventually they'll start breeding and once there's a litter of piggies and they grow up it accelerates

[spare cairn]

there is a breed limit if the child is nearby no?

or am I misunderstanding a video I watched

[summer fern]

There are only 2 boars in the pen

Yay the bigs did get a breeding tick

[heady parcel]

Don't remember the exact area, but yes - too many tamed animals in a small area and they won't breed until you "remove" some.

[summer fern]

Might cut the pen into 2 halves as I did push the pigs together a bit.

[spare cairn]

or pull a minecraft villager breeder type thing and suspend the parents in the air and let the children fall down. XD

looks weird tho XD

[summer fern]

Rather do something more freeing for the parents, is there a way to lure babies?

[heady parcel]

That's a whole lotta work for something you really don't need that long. Better to just put them in a regular pen and let them at it

I did put my chickens in a troll cave last playthrough, and it worked like a charm. This time I built a chicken coop and it works just as well, you just need to make sure no bats can get inside and decimate your precious chickens.

[spare cairn]

hmmm, true

[summer fern]

I like keeping some eggs in storage incase anything happens.

[spare cairn]

Hmmm, ive been on this world for a while now, and my surtling flame spew hasnt been spawning any?

[heady parcel]

You mean a geyser? If you built something too close that will suppress spawns

[spare cairn]

how close is too close?

cause my closest thing is visible, but like 2 longships away

[summer fern]

20 meters seems to be for most objects but within the range of a crafting station also

[heady parcel]

Dunno, open placing of a workbench and you'll see the radius, it is something like 30 meters

[spare cairn]

ahhhhh. im playing modded, and have extended workbench range

that might be it

[heady parcel]

There you go

[teal cloud]

I just tried Valheim solo and it was way too slow. Is it easy to find people to play with?

[heady parcel]

Mods fuck up so many things they don't intend to...

[summer fern]

Huh my pigs are in the middle of my large base, but they see something? that can only mean something somehow snuck in.

[spare cairn]

It wasnt the workbench XD. I didnt realize I loaded into it as a SP, instead of server, so since I wasnt near, no spawns XDDD

went to server, waitied 5min, and there were drops XD

[valid python]

A lot of mods that probably shouldn't just straight up work in multi player.

I imagine adressing this will be part of official mod support. Because things like Death Tweeks, Plant Everything even Floating items just straight work in multi player for the player that has them.

[summer fern]

Yea I think the issue before with my boars not breeding or not appearing to was that the pen was so big that they wouldn't see eachother if at different ends.

On the wiki what are the size values ordered in? like is it width, height, length?

Am wanting to build a future proof building for something I don't have yet.

[ancient haven]

Does anyone know of a mod that will allow me to basically copy my base (which is a single, but multi level structure, a castle/keep) into a new world?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[pearl meadow]

When exactly new update coming?

[merry pebble]

We have no idea 🙂 all we know is it wont be this year (2025)

[pearl meadow]

Yeah but when maybe on next year?

[heady parcel]

Nobody knows

[merry pebble]

Maybe, maybe not,we have no info, so we really dont have any way of knowing.

[heady parcel]

You can go read or watch various channels guessing and speculating, but the truth is until there is an official announcement - nothing is true.

[merry pebble]

-# Not even cake?

[heady parcel]

Cake is always good, I like cake.

[bitter scarab]

Are there any dedicated multiplayer player servers that are casual in the sense that it's fine if I come in with my personal character and play for a little bit, rather than starting anew? Also, is it socially acceptable to have the mod that prevents exp loss on death enabled on someone else's server?

[merry pebble]

That would very much depend of the owner of the server and the people you play with, so you would have to ask those 🙂

[summer fern]

Random thought, but I want a way to bulk farm tar renewably, what is your thoughts on deep north tar pits that are bigger? a pretty contrast with maybe some way to get lots of tar renewably from them.

[bitter scarab]

gotcha

[pearl meadow]

Cuz we are waiting for new update to start new server

[summer fern]

Huh a deer fell on my head and died as I was pickaxing dirt.

[heady parcel]

Well, I suggest you either don't wait or simply do something else in the meantime. Just wait for IG to announce anything, until then it is meaningless to even speculate.

[merry pebble]

How would we know whats comming in DN? Why would it be new tar pits? And if you want something like that why ask it here and not make a suggestion?

[summer fern]

I mean as a suggestion but I also like chatting about the idea first before posting something.

[merry pebble]

For taht there is #suggestion-discussion 😄

[heady parcel]

As for tar, the old nordic way to produce tar was to burn lots of pinewood in big pits and drain the tar from that.

Actually did that with my dad when I was very young, and we treated his old wooden boat with it

[steel mica]

Trolls are so useful I have dedicated my time to capturing two of them

[merry pebble]

Saw the screen xD nice

[neon garnet]

anyone want to create a world with a noob?

[merry pebble]

You can take a look or make your own post in #1024264966712340510 😄 thats where people usually look for others to play with

[steel mica]

If I had trollstav I probably wouldn't do that but since I have no way to gather huge bulks of resources

Trolls will do for now

I might replace the unarmed one with a stone golem

[merry pebble]

If you just want lots of wood for example just summon few elders 🙂

[neon garnet]

okay thx

[heady parcel]

So, a build piece where you burn corewood to get tar would make a lot of sense.

[summer fern]

Huh could be interesting, to be honest I was thinking like either replenishing somehow or some bigger tar blob variant that drops dozens. Or more but specifically only spawns at deep north pits.

[steel mica]

I prefr the troll because the swing arcs are so handy for destroying multiple trees

Plus elder is a boss

I tried elder and it did a decent job but still prefer troll

[merry pebble]

Elders vines are very usefull 😄 even more if you summon more of them

[heady parcel]

That would just be an upscaled rehash, I'd rather have an upgraded kiln to be honest.

[steel mica]

Im iron stage so still a gamble boss for me 🫠

[summer fern]

Eh maybe if corewood tree seed rates get fixed then, currently the very best is break even but you will lose more than taken making corewood non-renewable

[heady parcel]

Still, lots of Black Forest around, so a better source than growths from tar pits. But yeah, I wouldn't mind for pine cones to be a little more common. Only acorns are more rare I think

[merry pebble]

Acorns do actually have one of the highest drop rates 😄

Its just that the oaks themselves are quite rare

[summer fern]

Acorns are barely renewable but still a bit short of where it would be more enjoyable as sometimes badluck destroys your seed supply

[heady parcel]

I must have the damndest luck on oak trees then. I have cut down every oak tree I have seen on this world and gotten ONE acorn - and a leaping beech log killed that oak for me...

[merry pebble]

Yeah, bad rng can be tough, they are renewable tho, the acorn drops are 1,25 per tree on average 🙂
But since you can get like 9 at once if you are lucky, you can also go long time without any

[heady parcel]

Yeah, this world has had precious few oaks at all, don't think I have found as much as ten in total, and it has been a long time since I found any new meadows land.

[merry pebble]

-# Now you should quickly go look for some, since you complained about their scarcity here, the magic should activate xD

[heady parcel]

Too slow a process, the window will close before I get to my boat 😂

[hasty geyser]

I found a 2* boar 🥹

[summer fern]

Congrats

[hasty geyser]

Hows the best way to go about getting iron? Do i wanna set up another base with a forge and smelters or just bring it home?

[merry pebble]

Some people set a smithy in the swamp they are farming where they smelt it and make everything they need out of it, some sail it home to smelt and use there, its up to you and what you think would be better 🙂

-# It might be my personal bias but i always sail it home since sailing and unloading whole longship of iron is just so satisfying imo 😄

[heady parcel]

Same. While I also enjoy building a tree house in the swamp, just enjoy the ambience there...

[tepid prawn]

Here is what I do: Bring 5 cores and 20 stone etc and some coal and smelt 2 iron in the swamp, then you can make a stonecutter there, (have portal to your old base) and with the stonecutter you can attach stone slabs to the indestructible swamp trees, which means you can build at least a mini treehouse and you can manage to put a smelter up into the indestructible trees with stairs going up.

Can then smelt all there and make a big treehouse or more like just a platform, if you want a forge there as well etc. is all up to you, also if you are near a surtling spawner or 2, you will get free coal and cores and trophies too!

[hasty geyser]

Well I best go find a swamp and figure it out lol

[paper marsh]

Why do you need stone to make a tree house?

[merry pebble]

To put smelters on it 🙂

[tepid prawn]

Hearth, Smelter and Kiln can not be placed on wood floor, need to be at least partially on stone floor, also campfire can't be placed on wood floor so if you want to cook there will need the hearth too (often dont need kiln if near the surtling spawners for coal, but you do need the other two items)

[hasty geyser]

Well its only 6 copper for a forge so I may as well bring that with me and decide later, I'll set up a portal for everything else

[paper marsh]

Can they not be placed on the tree? Or is that too rugged terrain?

[tepid prawn]

Current playthrough on my main server I lived in swamp so long I have a whisp fountain there too (really great idea because it works 24/7 in swamp) and even have blast furnaces and windmill on top of the treehouse haha

[tepid prawn]

no area flat enough for those to be placed directly on the tree, need some stone slabs

I have probably build about 12 swamp treehouses so far...

up to 5 floors, and to make it perfect its good to be near the shore for leeches and boat transport and near surtling spawners and have some crypts nearby of course

[hasty geyser]

I might set a base up there because then I think i can make the bigger ship

[merry pebble]

You can also just smelt 10 iron to get nails for the bigger ship and then sail rest back home 😄 i often do that

[tepid prawn]

you can even make some armour and weapons / tools there if you have the 6 copper for forge, to save on transporting, some forge upgrades use stuff you can get in swamp easily

[hasty geyser]

I currently have stuff for a portal, 6 copper and 2 bronze for an easy forge improvement ready to go with me

I still don't know if I wanna move my base or not, im not far from the coast but its not as close as Id like. But it is near a big mountain

[heady parcel]

You can always clear a road to the coast and have a small dock outpost there, and cart stuff to your main base. With a decent road carting is not a hassle

[hasty geyser]

I've put it here if anyone cares to have a look :0 https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977

Looking at it, it's really not actually that far from the coast if I clear it

[tacit crystal]

You could move and keep that as meadows/BF outpost with portals to different locations in those biomes.

[hasty geyser]

Yeah, I have a while before I need to decide anyways

[lone rampart]

#mods-screenshots message
I really want to rebuild this village...

[heady parcel]

Even with portals I like to build roads between my various outposts, but I guess that's just me trying to apply a bit of civilisation to the world. But I truly enjoy running down my paved, torchlit roads when I'm done - even if I don't actually need to...

[hasty geyser]

Well lets go find a swamp 😄

[heady parcel]

Next project once I am done in Ashlands on this world is to build a road across the biggest Mistlands continent - just because. Going to find one of those old dvergr bridges and work from that.

[hasty geyser]

I found a trader!

Thats so lucky, I stopped to fix my boat from the storm lol

[candid basalt]

That is a neat one!

[heady parcel]

A proper city wall sure gobbles up some stone

[proven marsh]

we killed 33 viles, no trophy..

lovely rng

[heady parcel]

I have one trophy in about 40 kills, it is all rng..

But it looks cool on the wall

[hasty geyser]

Found plains before swamp 😭

[analog stirrup]

oh oh no

if it makes you feel better my gears been stuck at my mistlands farm all day LOL

[hasty geyser]

Well i found my swamp and a flying thing chased me away lol

[analog stirrup]

oh jeez

[carmine spoke]

Is there any forgiving valheim mode?

[gray sand]

?

[exotic silo]

u can tweak them using world modifier.. more resource, less hurtful enemies, etc

gotta be really boring tho

[tepid prawn]

yes, passive enemies and no raids would be extremely forgiving (bosses will not be passive once summoned I think

I would also find that boring, you can also turn the combat to easy

[hasty geyser]

I turned raids off, dont wanna deal with that

[tepid prawn]

some raids deliver resources to your base haha

[carmine spoke]

I assume I can play the game on normal and then tweak as needed which could be helpful

[tepid prawn]

you can change the world modifiers anytime before you log in if you're playing solo

[hasty geyser]

I might turn them on when i get a good base but I don't fancy some trolls smashing my wood house rn lol

[tepid prawn]

I had two log trolls yesterday at the same time that was a bit hairy with just the starter armor

lucky i had a crude bow already

[hasty geyser]

I just found bonemass before I found a crypt

[lone rampart]

Stuck in a copper vein with a troll and a bear

[hasty geyser]

This swamp has bonemass, deathsquitos and no crypts, me no like

[exotic silo]

time to bring the bonemass to the plains and let them kill it

[dark coyote]

speedmining

[raw token]

@steel mica That's a neat idea using the stone 👏

[summer fern]

Fun when you need stone, then find a large rock, and a troll.

[short gale]

I think Ive spent half my day riding against the wind on my boat

[summer fern]

Question, does a successful dodge give back more stam than it cost? or no? I assume no from what I recall noticing.

[gray sand]

How much it gives back scales with skill level.

[plain bane]

I love avoiding eikthyr for as long as possible just for all the free neck tails and pork, heh. Waiting on the elder is also nice because of the kindly greydwarf emissaries paying tributes of wood and stone.

[elfin cradle]

Do we know when last biome will be released

[tepid prawn]

No official date but its coming to Playstation in 2026 and they don't accept Early Access games. Once the actual release date is announced it should be in #news channel.

[distant girder]

so, if someone, say, wanted to take over a swamp with free-range tame asks as an invasive species...
what would you recommend to them?

[sharp bluff]

something immune to poison

[rotund dust]

Can you craft Wooden Weapons without any workbench upgrades, or they need to be x level?

[tacit crystal]

Only wooden sword is craftable, other weapons are found scattered across the world.

[rotund dust]

Perfect, I wanted to do a sword only run, so that saves some time going BF for bear/troll to mine for me XD

[steel mica]

Real masochistic challenge, beat the game only using the training/wooden weapons

[dusk jasper]

Playing my first run of the game blind. I just killed the plain boss and discovered theres an item that helps you see in the mistlands.....😭. Ive been fumbling around blind in that place for hours now....Since pre moder and I could have had the option to see this whole time???

[slim zenith]

you can only see after you beat yagluth as his drop enables you to craft the wisplight

[dusk jasper]

yeah just learnt that now after killing him lol. Didnt know it was a thing. Just thought you had to suffer through the mist and navigate to clearer areas

ive spent god knows how many hours in there without it....

[compact cedar]

Man, this game has got to be the most value ive ever gotten from a videogame. I am almost 1,200 hours in (admittedly, a portion of which is from afk-sometimes even overnight). I am just finishing up my keep, working my way through mistlands for the second time, trying to amass enough materials of everything to craft and display it all

[sharp bluff]

only two of my games beat it: skyrim with like infinity squared mods and terraria

[compact cedar]

I like skyrim, but I dont have half the playtime in it, vanilla.

[candid basalt]

I have a few hundred more hours in No Man’s Sky But my steam details last year was pretty even between the two

[candid basalt]

Yesterday i decided to start on a mountain castle with a small port at the base. I still haven’t started the mountain, been turning the port into a fortified docking area, utilizing a burial chamber as a “mine” for decoration.

There are no trees or stone within 80m now. I should plant some 😁

[steel mica]

If a game makes you return more than usual, THAT is real value

[unreal frigate]

no npc city and village in thee games?????

[silk topaz]

Anybody wanna play ?

[unreal frigate]

I WONT

[merry pebble]

Look in #1024264966712340510 🙂

[plush umbra]

guys how do you fight log trolls inside caves?

cause they attack faster than my atgeir can stun them and i take a buttload of damage

[merry pebble]

You roll/parry/spin with atgeir a lot 😄

[plush umbra]

oh you have invc frames while rolling?

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂 but if you have atgeir you should have virtually 0 problem with taking down 0 star trolls 🤔

You just spin to stagger them, then stab stab, spin again if it looks like they will recover

[plush umbra]

understandable i just hate log trolls cause they can reach you and attack you faster than me running at them and then spiining

okay lemme try and practice imma put a portal down for spawn point XD

[merry pebble]

Good luck! 😄

[plush umbra]

thanks!

i actually did it but i run out of stamina and tried parying but i kinda suck XD

[merry pebble]

Dont try to parry them with atgeir really, they do too much dmg to do that for now 😄

Once you have better stuff you will be able to, but if you are still in BF then its safer not to

[tacit crystal]

You can regen stamina while it's staggered, then swing again to stagger it again. Tasty mead also increases the stamina regen a lot during that period.

[merry pebble]

^That, forgoing one stab stab rotation to gain stamina is quite safe and easy 🙂

[lone rampart]

Also with cave trolls you have the option to back out of the cave entirely if you need more time to recover.

[plush umbra]

understandable

Thank you very much XD

[tacit crystal]

Learning proper stamina management is one key to success, many hits can be avoided by simply moving around (not sprinting) and having those breathers between the crowd control hits like atgeir swing.

[plush umbra]

Thanks i can do that one well just not inside troll caves

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, trolls can be quite easily kept staggered with atgeir secondary and their attacks are easier to parry with bronze buckler.

[candid basalt]

I never use the atgeir. I sword and board (or mace/frostner). dunno. Polearms aren’t my style

Dodge and parry are my bread and eyescream

[forest jacinth]

Do you think eyescream tastes like a tree

[lone rampart]

I’ve seen a YouTube video where a guy makes ice cream out of spruce tips. It probably tastes like that

[plush umbra]

will they ever add the poison mace thing that the rancid remains has?

[pliant hatch]

Probably not.

It would have to fit between the bronze mace and the iron one to start with, while the actual biome you have to deal with lots of poison is the Swamp.
Where a mace like that would be quite useless.

Which means the first spot where it could be useful is the mountains and by then a bronze mace is obsolete.

[plush umbra]

I see it has no place basically

[nocturne wolf]

We already have a poison axe and it's not great because poison is the worst damage type

if you damage an already poisoned enemy you lose the poison damage but other damage over time effects stack the damage

[plush umbra]

oh damn

[pliant hatch]

That effect is best shown when using the Draugr Fang.

Shoot something big with it and you will see that the poison effects resets all the time.

Same goes for the Ooze Bombs.

[heady parcel]

Is there any single mob in the game that is actually vulnerable to poison damage? It feels like an under developed mechanic really. But if it would stack as with other dots, that door would swing both ways and Bonemass would suddenly be a lot more challenging..

As would swarms of leeches, those random groups of 3-4 greydorf shammys etc etc

I'd take it - I have always played like that was the case, I only recently realised that to actually die from poisoning you need to be on crap food and/or already beaten up and low on health.

[light moat]

I think cultists are technically weak to poison? I still don’t really use it against them though 🤔

[heady parcel]

Or edge cases like my first swamp death - abomination yeeted me into deep water with like 4-5 leeches, one of them 2-star. Took me days to recover my stuff from there

[light moat]

I’ve always found that poison from oozers seem to be really deadly

[heady parcel]

I suppose an ooze bomb if they're below you in one of those rough stairwells mobs can't climb

But arrows are more efficient anyway

[pliant hatch]

Ooze Bombs are great for clearing the Sealed Tower and Mistland Dungeons.

[candid basalt]

It kinda has a citrus flavor. I’ve had it.

[heady parcel]

I lack the patience. I read that it would be great but when I tried I got bored waiting for stuff to die so in the end I bashed the walls down and went in swinging anyway. Saves me an inventory slot too 😄

Was really good for the brood nests though, and ticks

[paper marsh]

Doesn't look exactly like the one rancid remains has, but there is a poison mace in the game

[merry pebble]

Hehe, ||brick on a stick ||

[candid basalt]

I want bile bomb arrows

[heady parcel]

I think the rancid remains mace is just a regular (slightly bigger) mace that just gets the same aura as the mob itself

Need to find one and compare 😄

[merry pebble]

Yep, just iron mace with green cloud 🙂

[lone rampart]

Fartmace

[heady parcel]

I wish there was an upgraded fire arrow. They could be mistlands tier and use bilebags instead of resin

I simply love raiding with fire arrows with fire hazards on. BUUUURN!

They're just a tad too weak for later biomes

[candid basalt]

I will say a fun moment I had last world was slow sailing by a fuling village and having me and two other mages firebomb the place to dust.

Listening to the gigglegoblins scream was so satisfying

I keep trying to get my group to turn fire effects on, but they are afraid of burning their wood houses down

[lone rampart]

It’s a valid concern

[paper marsh]

I feel like firetick isn't very aggressive. Haven't ever burnt anything down

Set fire to my house once but that was when I was living out of a shack and I immediately put it out anyways

[candid basalt]

Just keep wood 1.5m from fire center and you fine

[paper marsh]

It's nice not needing to use kilns

[tacit crystal]

Elite blob vials are quite effective: oozer is hostile against them, deals poison and resists the damage the residents inside deal.

[paper marsh]

Oozers do pretty nuts damage

Until you get to growths which do hella nuts damage

I feel like it takes me so long to take down seeker soldiers on vhard, I might try employing growths now and again for that purpose

by my calculations if they hit their full burst that's something like 700 damage

Before resistances/weaknesses

[candid basalt]

I should start using the bottled slime bombs. They sound fun

[lone rampart]

Yeah I bought a bunch of bottles and then never used them

[pliant hatch]

I found that most vile-bomb creatures are quite weak in the higher biomes.

A 1 star seeker and a normal soldier were one-shotting the poison blobs and frost blobs. Oozer lasted two hits and even a tar blob didn't last that long.

In general the ooze bombs are more effective against these monsters.

[paper marsh]

Pretty clutch when used right imo. Have yet to see how useful the slow from the frost blob is (the damage is a bit ehhh, but at least it can be used in ashlands)

Ah yeah you don't want the blobs to brawl enemies unless you're using them as a distraction

You want to use them as a oneshot or you distract the enemy while they get damage in

[short gale]

I had to cheese the map. I get tired of searching for biomes! but I wont cheese particular locations of items or what not lol

[timid horizon]

getting off while playing valheim is a 10/10 strat

[candid basalt]

How hard is the sealed tower in fully upgraded plains gear?

[gray sand]

Normal?

[lone rampart]

Depends on your tactics. It can be fairly rough or relatively easy

[candid basalt]

I have bombs

[merry pebble]

Someone surely did, i would ask in #mods-discussion 😄

[lone rampart]

You’ll be mostly alright then, with a little patience

[paper marsh]

without cheese I'd say it's pretty hard relative to the rest of plains

With cheese anything is easy

[pliant hatch]

Doable. Especially if you bring Oozebombs.

I did that run last week in similar gear, using the plains feast, lox meat pie, meat platter (only mistlands food for me) using bow, arbalest and oozebombs.

The last two bosses were the most difficult, not because I didn't have the HP, but more because they've both got that much HP it's more a war of attrition.
But the Oozebombs got their health going down fast, the bow was good for sniping and the Arbalest certainly did hurt them.

For the floors itself it was Oozebombs to take out most of what's on it, then smashing in the door with a porcupine and dealing with the left overs.
Which usually were a couple of spear and sword wielding Fulings.

If you got the plains feast, Lox meat pie and Serpent stew, you're good for HP and stam

[candid basalt]

I tend to run lox pie, fish wraps and blood pudding

Or lox pie pudding and bread for more stamina

I do need to hunt more serpents tho

This is the first play where I’ve actually started fishing and so have plenty of fish

[lone rampart]

Wish I could financially manage to just provide Valheim for everyone who was interested, but alas. I am teh poor.

[merry pebble]

I can gift you this link #rules-and-info and the number 12 😄

...

[candid basalt]

You will be here a long time. I can see the future

[gray sand]

Well that's an easy report.

[merry pebble]

Your crystal ball might have polarities reversed 😄

[candid basalt]

Crap! It was a dragon tear. I always confuse it with a crystal ball

[gray sand]

Fuck pirates.

[paper marsh]

Same reason murderers can be arrested for murder even if they don't encourage others to commit murder

[gray sand]

I shall 🤐

[light moat]

Isn’t Valheim like half off right now 🤔

[fossil delta]

I've been considering buying some extra copies of Valheim, just in case I make new friends who don't own it. Everyone I know, and plays, already own it. So my anti social self would have to become social. Since I don't see that happening, I have not bought additional copies .

[lone rampart]

Can you do that? Buy the game and then just hold onto it for future gifts?

I’m a Steam Newb I don’t know how this works 😅

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have a few gift copies of games. You just select your purchase as a gift, then it is in your account as a gift.

[lone rampart]

Neat! I thought I had to specify a steam ID during purchase

[fossil delta]

It can be done that way. If you want to know the specifics on how the options are, you can Google the steps.

[nocturne wolf]

spawn serpent MonsterAI.m_avoidLand::false

[merry pebble]

Are they gonna slither out? 👀

[nocturne wolf]

even better use spawn serpent MonsterAI.m_avoidLand::false Humanoid.m_flying::true Humanoid.m_flyTurnSpeed::150.0 and make a dragon

[merry pebble]

You say its time to punch some sneaky snakes?

[gray sand]

Wait, is there an avoidWater?

[nocturne wolf]

yes

[gray sand]

So one could enable that for greylings and they wouldn't swim around walls? 👀

[warm nova]

WHY DOES THE YAG MUSIC GO SO HARD!?

I AM HYPED

[merry pebble]

Because its awesome 😄

[merry pebble]

The ones you would spawn manually would probably not be able to 😄

[warm nova]

i was swarmed by slimes

and died of death

[merry pebble]

Hmm, are they able to target you effectively once they are flying? 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

yes, and the default fly speed is very fast so they're hard to avoid

[merry pebble]

Niiiiiiiiice

[nocturne wolf]

the variable is being set properly but doesn't seem to do anything

[gray sand]

😭

[heady parcel]

I've never really liked using trolls for mining - I prefer to do that myself - but man I just had an epiphany and used a blue Demolition Guy to take down one of these ruined towers in the BF. To take them down you otherwise need to bring mats for a stonecutter, or whack away with pickaxe that takes forever. This blue brute demolished it entirely in a minute. AWRIGHT!

Also leveled dodge three ticks 😄

[barren whale]

you can also hoe down the land below the stone tower and it will crumble

[heady parcel]

I know but that feels kinda like cheating

[bleak nymph]

Hi

I seriously need a help, should I buy valhiem?

Is it multiplayer?

[heady parcel]

Short answer - yes

And yes, if you want

[gray sand]

No and yes.

[bleak nymph]

Also, is it too much grinding or lil bit grinding

[gray sand]

It is grinding.

[bleak nymph]

Cuz i tried albion recently and it made me exhausted

[sharp bluff]

entirely up to you but the main gameplay loop includes mining and killing stuff to make more weapons

but like, way less than any mmo

[heady parcel]

Valheim is perfectly playable solo, and is absolutely wonderful with a bunch of friends. But IT IS NOT AN MMO. Important to know, in multiplayer it is a co-op game for small groups.

[bleak nymph]

Ok

550 inr worth it no?

#valheim-help message

[gray sand]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[sharp bluff]

?

[bleak nymph]

I have 1100 inr, was thinking to buy hogwarts legacy and this valhiem

[heady parcel]

It is worth its money, what currency that is I don't know - but considering the amount of hours your average Valheim players puts in, yes I would say it is much more worth it than any 80$ bug-ridden shallow AAA title

[gray sand]

Legacy is free on EPIC afaik.

So.. no money needed to spend there.

[tacit crystal]

Seems like 550 inr (Indian rupee?) equals to 5,24 euros. Cheaper than to us which is 9,99 euros currently with the sale.

[sharp bluff]

at that point only terraria can beat valheim...

which is an insane statement given we are talking about terraria

[bleak nymph]

Ok

Hey

So, i decided to buy it

Buying it

[heady parcel]

Gratz, enjoy!

[bleak nymph]

Wtf

My card payment is declined

[heady parcel]

That would be a Steam issue

[bleak nymph]

Maybe, I will try tomorrow

With my friend's card

But why is VISA debit card declined

[heady parcel]

Heck knows, Steam works in mysterious ways

[bleak nymph]

Except their support team

They will anhillate the hacker who hacked a steam account if complained

[snow aurora]

How good is the abyssal razor?

Better than the iron sword?

[tacit crystal]

Depends, both have their ups and downs. Have you tried both weapon types?

Abyssal razor is technically swamp tier knife.

[heady parcel]

It is a knife. Knives are used to skin and butcher animals, not to fight.

[snow aurora]

I've tried the copper knife, pretty good combo damage for its low dmg stats

[heady parcel]

(It is a very valid weapon if you like the playstyle)

[bleak nymph]

Also another quick question is runescape dragonfields worth it or no

[heady parcel]

Heck knows, I am a Valheim nerd, never played another game in my life

🤥

[snow aurora]

Cuz I just saw yt video where a guy decimated a fuling village with the razor. My friend with a full mountain tier maxed gear was struggling with the silver sword

[foggy glacier]

not surprising about the silver sword. Fulings are immune to spirit damage.

[heady parcel]

Probably goes down to playstyle, avoidance and tactics more than the weapon to be fair. Silver sword is a king tier weapon

[tacit crystal]

I've been playing mostly with knives and battleaxes in my latest playthrough with my group and I've enjoyed them a lot. Knives are fast and effective.

[heady parcel]

Silver sword does perfectly good normal damage, the spirit part is what makes it god-tier vs anything that does take spirit damage

[snow aurora]

Oh
Ima try it out

[heady parcel]

Silver sword kicks ass in Ashlands btw. Low stamina use and everyone and his mother there are weak vs spirit

[tacit crystal]

If you have enough chitin and not planning or already made the harpoon you might just make the razor and give it a go.

Silver knife is very clean looking one tho.

[snow aurora]

Yeah I've got 3 and half stacks of chitin lol

[heady parcel]

Yeah it is a cheap and good weapon. I never use it myself because in my head canon a true viking does not use tiny knives, they use axes, spears and swords...

[snow aurora]

I haven't explored the mountains on my server yet

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, you don't need to worry about not having enough tho.

[tacit crystal]

Actually, historically most vikings carried always knife/dagger with them.

[heady parcel]

Of course, if you drop your sword/axe it is good to have a backup

In valheim, my backup is the axe I normally use for woodcutting 😄

Longest outing on this no-portals run I came home with every single weapon broken except my axe

(normally I carry sword, I-win-stick and bow, plus the axe if I need to chop wood)

[bleak nymph]

@heady parcel can I build home in valhiem

Like minecraft?

I do play minecraft tho

[heady parcel]

Oh hell yes, check youtube, or the #screenshots channel, or #building-screenshots

[bleak nymph]

I see

[heady parcel]

Building is what keeps me coming back

The freedom is insane

[tacit crystal]

Biggest difference between them is that in Valheim structures don't stay on air.

[bleak nymph]

I see but minecraft is very LoGiCaL

100 anvils can't destroy a crop yet a jump of player destroys it instantly

[tacit crystal]

Once you get the hang on building you lose your sense of time while at it.

[snow aurora]

Real

[bleak nymph]

A bucket of water has infinite water

And water makes tnt do no damage

To buildings

[tacit crystal]

Yeah each game having their own very logical features.

[severe totem]

any new news on the final biome?

[snow aurora]

How do I spawn a fuling with devcommands? It keeps says missing object Fuling

[heady parcel]

I think their item names is "goblin" but there's some online resource on all of that

[snow aurora]

Yoo thanks

Worked. The razor is fun to use

[heady parcel]

For reference "fuling" is Swedish and means something like "small ugly one" and historically has been used to describe malicious things in folklore

[snow aurora]

But def not good against a 1* lol I'm getting burnt alive

[sweet moon]

Seeker bugs suuuuck

[heady parcel]

No they stab. Hard.

[sweet moon]

they stab, tackle, and headbut their way.

[heady parcel]

Indeed, they are right <bleeps>

Whoever had the idea to make the main enemies in a biome giant cockroaches and flying fire-spitting jellyfish deploying monstrous dog-sized ticks as shock troops... These guys deserve a medal. Genius. I hate them so much, but man what a fricking great horrorshow...

[sweet moon]

the Seekers are straight cazedore from New vegas

[pliant hatch]

It's a lot more original as spiders. That's for sure. 🙂

[heady parcel]

If I know my lore right, they were originally intended to be more spiderlike, but changed to more roachlike to be less, well, common.

[sweet moon]

oh no! they found my emergency portal. ugh, gotta hoof it

[tacit crystal]

Latest news are posted in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816, no new info yet about the release.

[severe totem]

thank you

[sweet moon]

final biome confirmed downtown chicago

[heady parcel]

That angry red hue of the two star seeker, and the sheer animal panic it conjures in me, beautiful.

[sweet moon]

you folks ever go sailing for sailing sake?

[heady parcel]

hell yeah

Bring a fishing rod and the harpoon to make the best of it

[sweet moon]

its so satisfying espexially knowing there is hell on the other side

[heady parcel]

Yes, I love sailing straight into the grey as well, knowing absolutely nothing about what is coming

[sweet moon]

I tagged you in screenshots to show my current expedition

[heady parcel]

Cool, love that kinda exproration trip - just remember to bring enough food and you can take a completely different route back home

[sweet moon]

if I get my stuff there, I have plenty of food! just riding nude on the way there

[heady parcel]

(I'm playing no portals, so that's my reference, I can't pop home to refresh stuff while out exploring)

[snow aurora]

How do y'all even play with no map

[sweet moon]

mines not so romantic as that

I use landmarks and guide posts usually

[heady parcel]

I don't, that's where I draw my line. If we had a soft no-map mode where you could go to the cartography table and look at the map, I would do it

[lone rampart]

I haven’t left my starting island yet 😅

[sweet moon]

but i'm playing with a friend so we are using a map

[sweet moon]

I'd love to have a printable map, like on leather for wall mounting

used to do it alot on minecraft for cool aesthetics

[heady parcel]

I'm sure that could be a possible future merch thing. Order a canvas print of the map of my own fave seed!

[sweet moon]

i meant in game

like you can make a "copy"from the cart table to place on the wall

[heady parcel]

Ah well, that would be cool but probably extremely awkward to code

[sweet moon]

i think my favorite aspect is the sea

its so viscous

[heady parcel]

The sea, and how using actual sailing techniques will help you, is one of my absolute favourite parts of the game. Sailing through a full storm in a karve is sheer terror and sheer bliss at the same time 😄

If you mess up your karve will get fucked up, but if you ride the seas and don't go full sail you'll fly

[nocturne wolf]

#screenshots message @torn blade it's a serpent

[pliant hatch]

So the shocking truth was that he didn't like it?

[edgy warren]

Is there any way to have an open boar farm, every time I leave my base I come back and my boar are dead, I really don't want to keep them in an enclosed box....

[lone rampart]

Mine are in an open pit, with torches around the perimeter to block spawn

[heady parcel]

Passive mobs setting maybe?

[paper marsh]

Turn raids off and have the farm in the meadows

[heady parcel]

But, they should not get attacked when you are not near, that is odd

My last boar pen I built they were outdoors - although behind stakewalls - and roamed pretty freely, and I never had a single fatality. Mind you I kept it as a separate farm, without any base items to trigger raids. Used it for boars and later on vineberries. Boars would get friendly while I harvested the berries, good combo. Without raids nothing can get close to them.

[paper marsh]

Hmm, it’s not supposed to be

I think the water looks pretty thin

[heady parcel]

The water looks kinda watery actually

But the way boats + waves interact is top notch. To me that started playing computer games in the 80:s, seeing this level of physics/realism is nothing short of magic, I swear.

[paper marsh]

The tar is very viscous tho, I love it

[lone rampart]

I hate the tar but I love watching it drain

[heady parcel]

Ush I wish there were lakes and streams and waterfalls with that mechanic, but feck I understand why it is not a thing

[summer fern]

Would be interesting if the tar mechanic was expanded on and used more. Could be nice to have a way to like transport liquids and make a little pool inside your base.

[gray sand]

Digging a moat around base and then filling it with spawn TarLiquid is always fun.

[heady parcel]

I have to try that sometime

[heady parcel]

Gods, I love how seeker meat looks like giant scampi

[sacred crow]

anyone done multiplayer with a hardcore mode that deletes character + world on death?

[heady parcel]

How would you do that, all characters on the world dead at the same time = wipe?

[sacred crow]

I was thinking if anyone dies, so you could do a group hc/deathless run

[sweet moon]

i spelled it wrong lol.

[heady parcel]

That would be really weird, someone runs off on their own, forgets to eat, gets tagged by a deathsquito and it's all over for everyone?

[sacred crow]

yah its evil but we have a lot of hrs in the game, looking for a challenge 🙂

theres a mod that does it but its singleplayer only

[heady parcel]

Well, you do you. Ask in #mods-discussion if anyone knows a way to do it.

Otherwise you'll just need to have it as a rule - "anyone dies we all start over, so DON'T FUCKING DIE!!!!"

[sacred crow]

Heh, yep. Think of the potential to shame your friends too.

[sweet moon]

My birthdays coming u-, I think I might make a birthday cake in game some how

[summer fern]

Maybe could go to the mountains and use the terrain in your build of a cake somewhat? Like raise a circle area of snow to be the top of the cakes icing?

Or if there is a build piece that is good for having a snow texture on top when un roofed in the mountain biome?

[short gale]

Gang o graylings just wiped my pen o boars

[paper marsh]

I do it on all my solo runs, but haven't done it on multiplayer no. Doesn't sound particularly suited for multiplayer imo

[sacred crow]

Yea, may be a niche thing for sure.

What cape should I run with my fenris set? ig its not a big deal really

[analog stirrup]

id compare personally on the stats i like to use the wiki for armour comparison

[tacit crystal]

What you personally like the most, as Fenris chest grants frost resistance you can wear any cape with it.
I prefer lox cape tho.

[slate glacier]

if available, generally ||feather + fire resistance||(mistlands stuff) or situationally ||asksvin||(ashlands) tend to be the most useful, though they are later game.
if you don't have access to them, I just run lox.

[short gale]

Right on, thanks. Im still in mountain so I will run wolf for now until lox and feather

[slate glacier]

you can get a lox cape without killing moder, but up to you and your comfort level with plains.

[short gale]

Right, whats better abt lox compared to wolf? Seems to me theyre equal but lox is more durable

[slate glacier]

durability, and whether or not you like the wolf trophy.
