[lone flint]

im looking for people to play with from scratch, can yall suggest me any hubs?

[supple bear]

no one tell him the answer

[snow aurora]

Do you not require resources to upgrade?

[tacit crystal]

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

[supple bear]

Its ok you can google it

[lone flint]

thank you

[supple bear]

wait let me check if google is even right

[snow aurora]

So you say that every creature in front of you is starred ones

[supple bear]

yes google is right

[merry cedar]

I'm just waiting for you all to catch up to the fact it's very easy to find a 1 star troll.

[supple bear]

So how far away do they spawn from spawn?

[snow aurora]

Never saw a 1 star troll in my world. It was very common in my friend's world.

[foggy glacier]

Are you asking anyone or just the 'expert'?

[supple bear]

I asid dont give him the answer

but then again he didnt answer the question the first time either

[merry cedar]

Any cave related troll has star spawn possibility.

[tacit crystal]

2000m from center or from one time spawners at troll cave.

[merry cedar]

exactly

[supple bear]

do you know how rare that second one is

[merry cedar]

Waiting for you to catch up austrian...

[supple bear]

You're telling me its optimal to hunt a rare spawn

[merry cedar]

since you didn't know that about the caves...

[rare lichen]

In Vanilla ore doesnt regenerate
Its possible with mods.
You can put EWP scripts on a server then all clients get the script without any mods
So, it is possible to make a server with respawning ore for vanilla clients. But not in single player.

[supple bear]

I did know about the caves

[foggy glacier]

do world modifiers affect stars? (combat settings i mean)

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, they're more likely on high difficulties

[merry cedar]

They're extremely common.

[supple bear]

Extremely common huh

[merry cedar]

I run across them all the time on my playthroughs where almost everything one shots me.

[rare lichen]

It also makes monsters faster 🙂
See what happens trying to outsail a 2 star serpent on normal vs veryhard jajaja

[supple bear]

So they're literally everywhere

[merry pebble]

33% for the outside troll to be there and 75% for the inside troll to be there. And 10% of those will have stars.

[merry cedar]

I play nakked.

[supple bear]

Exactly

a 1 in 10 shot

for a one time spawn

[merry cedar]

That's 5 caves...

[nocturne wolf]

20% more on hard and 40% more on VH

[tacit crystal]

They're bit faster due to them being also bit larger.

[snow aurora]

In the meadows?

[supple bear]

not really

[merry cedar]

You saying you haven't run across 5 caves just casually on your way to elder? Cuz I run acros a dozen or more typically.

[supple bear]

not every cave is guarunteed to have a troll in it or around it

[rare lichen]

Oooh so it makes the speed scale? Like how LOD scales with size ?

[foggy glacier]

more likely by far not to have one outside.

[merry cedar]

I'm still waiting for austrian who has played almost every way i can imagine, to imagine playing like me.

[snow aurora]

You must be lucky having to kill 2 star serpents. Pretty good supply of meat

[supple bear]

I dont have to imagine

[foggy glacier]

yeah, I've never seen a starred serpent.

[supple bear]

Ive also played the game naked

[merry cedar]

It's been an hour and I can see you still can't.

[snow aurora]

Fr

[supple bear]

serpents can not naturally star

[nocturne wolf]

The enemy speed scale key only affects their walking speed, not swimming or flying

[rare lichen]

I dont think 2 star serpent exist in normal gameplay?

[supple bear]

neither can lox?

[rare lichen]

You can spawn them tho

[supple bear]

Theres a few enemies that cant naturally star

imagine a 2 star deathsquito

[nocturne wolf]

we need starred greylings that take 2x and 4x knockback

[rare lichen]

What do you think causes the Serpents to swim faster then out of curiosity?
I have 2 star Serpents in oceans on a server and we noticed if its on veryhard they swim super fast

[supple bear]

Speaking of playing the game naked, do you know how i kill yagluth without bonfire cheese naked

[merry cedar]

As austrian quietly stops responding after I debunked his entire worldview on optimal starting if you choose armor with a simple response to his own 'gotcha' question that proved he was misaligned with reality.

[snow aurora]

Do viles have starred versions

[merry cedar]

I play nakked.

[tacit crystal]

No.

[supple bear]

You havent debunked anything and i've responded to everything you've said

[merry pebble]

Hehe, those would go flyyyyying 😄

[supple bear]

You just don't read what I say lol

[tacit crystal]

Or rather, they do, but they don't spawn naturally with stars.

[merry cedar]

1 star troll easy to get. Entire community agreed w/me. Waiting on your response.

[supple bear]

I agree

Youre the best valheim player ever, a true champion of the people

[merry cedar]

You said it wasn't...now you say it is. the hilarity.

[snow aurora]

Find me one in my world

[rare lichen]

I love that moment where you club a gobbo or fuuling and they go flying its hilarious xD xD

[merry cedar]

Turn the difficulty of your world up.

[nocturne wolf]

Are you sure it's actually faster than normal and not just swimming faster than you expect?

[lone rampart]

No one agreed with that

[supple bear]

What can I say I'm just so bewildered by your excellence

[merry cedar]

3 people agreed it's faster than his initial assertion (which didn't even include cave trolls btw...he thought you had to be 2k away from spawn to get one to spawn)

[nocturne wolf]

If you ever get a wood polearm use the secondary attack against bats. They take more knockback than any other creature but usually die in one hit.

[supple bear]

Just so you know that guy is rage baiting

Dont feed him too much

[tacit crystal]

Fuling shamans take also huge knockback, it's fun to launch them on their death with mace/battleaxe/atgeir secondary.

[lone rampart]

3 people = everyone in your world no wonder you think starred trolls are common

[foggy glacier]

Vanilla on regular modifiers, you do. Except for caves.

[supple bear]

I'm just having a little fun with him

[merry cedar]

calling me a rage baiter after being successfully dismantlted publically with your own 'proof' is low key amusing.

[snow aurora]

Use a torch

[supple bear]

I'm sure it is

[rare lichen]

Basically we found that we couldnt actually outsail the serpent anymore but we could go far enough away it would stop chasing

[nocturne wolf]

why?

[merry cedar]

he didn't know caves were there. That's what everyone said they're far more common than he expected.

[supple bear]

Yeah i had no idea troll caves exists

How insane is that

[snow aurora]

Or better just sit near a campfire XD

[lone rampart]

Oh yeah Austrian me neither in fact I had no clue trolls even exist

[supple bear]

At least im not alone

[nocturne wolf]

How is that dealing the most knockback to bats?

Wrong reply

[snow aurora]

They burn to death

[lone rampart]

I was so confused 🤣

[supple bear]

I play the game naked

[nocturne wolf]

I never suggested wood polearm as a good way of killing them

[snow aurora]

Or just ignore bats cuz they don't do any damage at all

[supple bear]

and my naked yagluth strategy is S tier

[merry cedar]

It's okay big dawg. One day you'll catch up.

[nocturne wolf]

it's fun to push them back with it

[supple bear]

completely optimal in every way

[merry cedar]

But not today.

[supple bear]

Yes, what you do is craft like 50 bronze helms

and die with one in you inventory 50 times by teh yag fight

[merry cedar]

See ya'll my game started and Austrian isn't even capable of gracefully accepting a new way of playing.

[lone rampart]

It’s sad when people think their “get gud” speedrunner strats make them a superior person somehow. The beauty of this game is how you can play it loads of different ways

[supple bear]

so have infinite corpse run

[merry cedar]

Sad to see such a close minded guy who "Has played every way you can imagine"

[supple bear]

then you can literally punch yag to death naked

it takes 45 minutes

but its optimal

[merry cedar]

I'll come back later and read his crashout.

[snow aurora]

Punching the queen to death is far more optimal.

[supple bear]

Who's crashing out

This kid is in his own universe

[rare lichen]

Dont worry thats just the people who message the most often, they arent the majority of people. For every person writing a message theres hundreds of others just reading
A lot of Valheim players are completely reasonable

[supple bear]

Punching the queen to death sounds miserable

[lone rampart]

Is crashing out from laughing possible?

[supple bear]

She spawns a lot of adds

[snow aurora]

Btw punching does no damage on the queen

XD

[supple bear]

Someone had to find that out the hard way

[snow aurora]

I've tried

[merry cedar]

The amount of times Austrain is wrong....Approaching 1 thousand.

[supple bear]

even with 100 fist levels?

[snow aurora]

50

[merry pebble]

Well, it does, but she out-regens it 😄

[supple bear]

does it literally do zero damage or you just cant out damage her healing

[merry cedar]

The amount of times austrian admits to being wrong....0

[lone rampart]

What if you get a group of like, 8 people all punching her at once

[nocturne wolf]

if you wanna play optimally use the command itemset ashlands 4 2147483647 to get 326417500000 armor and a lightning slayer with 257698050000 damage

[supple bear]

Im curious, her being immune to fist damage is kind of random

fist damage wasnt even really a thing until this update

[nocturne wolf]

fist isn't a damage type

[lone rampart]

Like a big squishy poisonous punching bag. Flibbita-flibbita-flibbita-flib! 🥊

[rare lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/saitama-one-punch-man-gif-16449862150109283583
Awww thats right no embed gifs

[snow aurora]

The numbers are at less than 1

[merry pebble]

-# But be carefull, if you log out and then go back it will not have nearly as crazy stats 😄 still in thousands, but not as crazy

[nocturne wolf]

yes it only saves up to NG+ 255

[supple bear]

so shes immune to blunt damage?

[snow aurora]

Yeah

[foggy glacier]

since when?

[merry pebble]

Still op as heck xD

[tacit crystal]

No she isn't.

[supple bear]

time to check the wiki

because im pretty sure she aint

[foggy glacier]

neutral to it.

[tacit crystal]

Bare fists deal so little damage she out regens the damage.

[foggy glacier]

as many have said, she just regens.

[tacit crystal]

Take Flesh rippers and then now we talking.

[supple bear]

Yeah thats i thought

[nocturne wolf]

Most creatures constantly regenerate full health over an hour. TWIGs regen over 30 seconds and bears/viles regenerate over 50 minutes.

[heady parcel]

I see the setup for a Valheim equivalent of the 40 gnomes vs Hogger raid in vanilla WoW. 10 naked vikings punching Queen to death..

[supple bear]

the problem is the adds not the queen herself

[heady parcel]

Guess we need to allow them some ways to kill adds

[snow aurora]

The moment i left the queen's lair and came back restocked with meads she was back at full health like wtf

[nocturne wolf]

If there's no E in my armor count it's not strong enough

[supple bear]

You were gone for a long time then

Its not that bad lol

[snow aurora]

Took out 1/4 of health bar

[merry pebble]

The power of Error is immense xD

[nocturne wolf]

Did you sleep?

[snow aurora]

No

[near furnace]

👀

[supple bear]

She has good regen but not enough to regen 1/4 of her health in the 2 minutes it takes to portal home and grab pots

that would make her fight nearly impossible with her teleporting around

[nocturne wolf]

she has the default one hour regen speed

1/4 would take 15 mins

[near furnace]

60 minutes for 100% regen

[supple bear]

Ive always kind of found it funny you can just straight up leave a boss fight in this game

[near furnace]

so 50% health left, 30 minutes respawn timer

[supple bear]

you're in this epic battle and you just hit the pause button and leave to go grab more supplies

[nocturne wolf]

What would the other options be? With the game's durability, trapping players in would lead to them being stuck forever.

[lone rampart]

It’s called a tactical retreat!! I didn’t run away!

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-vBQY1zL9g

[supple bear]

Have you ever played terraria

[near furnace]

yes

[heady parcel]

Has its risks. I read about someone who fled from Yagluth and it turned out he crawled after them on the seafloor and proceeded to raze their base to the ground

[tacit crystal]

There is also "no boss portals" option in world modifiers.

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, in that game you don't lose your weapon using it too much

so if you find a boss you can't get stuck unable to kill them mid-fight

[lone rampart]

VLDL is life

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/peasant-models-whatsthisthen-thevldlsquad-pose-gif-19944186

[supple bear]

The durability argument is fair

whats the first boss thats actually a problem though....... the queen?

[snow aurora]

Tried every weapon i had, only the krom turned out to be efficient, though I died quite a few times

[supple bear]

I mean unless you're fighting the boss with something they resist or something

you can kill the first 3 bosses without any repairs easy

[near furnace]

don't look to hard into what resists what

just bash with your favourite tool of choice

[supple bear]

moder if you dont fully rely on a bow

frostner lasts the whole yag fight

[nocturne wolf]

Maybe if the enemy damage modifiers weren't so extreme

[near furnace]

Frostner4life

[nocturne wolf]

they should use the new slightly modifiers

[near furnace]

problem solved

[supple bear]

Froster does punch above its weight for quite awhile

[snow aurora]

You can kill moder with a serpent shield and frostner without dodging any attack XD

[supple bear]

the slow and the knockback is pretty good

[nocturne wolf]

Iron mace is better

[supple bear]

Yeah but can you do that without repairing

thats what we were discusssing

[merry pebble]

-# Bronze mace is better (than frostner i mean)

[supple bear]

I think queen is the first boss you're pretty much forced to repair during

[near furnace]

just use your 2 most rescent bows for moder

🤷

[supple bear]

unless you just use a bunch of different weapons

[nocturne wolf]

Why would I carry two?

[supple bear]

The draugr fang can kill moder without breaking though?

[heady parcel]

Bugger, I log in to find myself out in the middle of nowhere, and I can't bloody remember what I was doing here. Getting too old for this shit I guess... Good thing I'm not on no-map, that would have been awkward.

[near furnace]

so you don't have to leave moder fight midway to repair

[supple bear]

you dont even need high bow skill

[nocturne wolf]

I've never needed to before

[tacit crystal]

-# Double pew pew.

[nocturne wolf]

maybe you're getting unlucky with her AI deciding to fly often

[supple bear]

Same reason giga chads carry 3 antler pickaxes

MVP of the crypts

[merry pebble]

2 are enough, since you usually have full inventory of loot before you break the second one

[near furnace]

or build a workbench under the nodes 👀

[supple bear]

what nodes smiffe

We talking about crypts

[near furnace]

usually copper

[heady parcel]

Why would you ever bring more than one? All you need to do is smack up a workbench and like two roof tiles to give it shelter, and repair on the fly

[near furnace]

but you can squeeze in a workbench in swamps aswell with just a little roof

slam the workbench against a tree, 2 pieces of roof, done

[supple bear]

so you dont have to actually leave the crypt

That other person is right though most crypts you wont break more than 2

[heady parcel]

I value two slots of inventory more than the 30 seconds it takes to run outside and repair

[supple bear]

most of my crpyts recently dont even break one 😢

[tacit crystal]

Bronze pick lasts longer and takes one item slot, I like to use it.

[heady parcel]

But then I absolutely no interest whatsoever in speedrunning of any sort

[supple bear]

I mean you can still loot everything of value from crypts

i put all the loot in one chest and come back for it later and do one bit run

love when a crypt gives 100+ iron

[heady parcel]

Yeah, since Moder's new power and troll meads I can usually get it all back home or to my ship in one or two runs, unless it's the motherload lottery win crypt...

[supple bear]

I mine all the iron i need for the entire game before killing bonemass, which isnt a lot. Its mostly just bench upgrades

bench upgrades and stuff like nails you need is like 100 bars

[snow aurora]

I never found the queen's vesvegir in infested mines. Finished all mines in 3 islands thoroughly, 12 mines. No vesvegir. But LOTS of black cores and fragments.

[supple bear]

They like to spawn in those rooms that go down to water

and in core rooms

[heady parcel]

I'm like those tiny dudes in the old "Fraggles" tv series, I can't stop building - I truly never have enough iron

[snow aurora]

Searched em all

[supple bear]

They could just be hyper rare like moders

the queen is kind of similar to yag in that her boss area is pretty distinct on the map

Yags you can see from space practically but the queens is easy to pick out too from a distance

[heady parcel]

If you get lucky and it spawns in a mist-free area. No such luck for me this time around, it was smack in dense mist, I only found it because of all the starred seekers that came at me all of a sudden

[supple bear]

its more the outline of the dungeon when its just barely in render distance

her rock is pretty distinct and it goes above the mist

from a distance those coastal mines can look pretty similar

The ones with the giant stairs that lead up

[heady parcel]

Her rock can be baked into other rocks though which was the case this time. I was basically on top of the place when a two-star seeker with cohorts came out of the mist at me. From above all you saw was typical spikes poking out of the mist

[supple bear]

Then yeah you got pretty unlucky

The rock formation are generally huge compared to everything else

[snow aurora]

Got moder's vesvegir in a tower on the first day in the mountains XD

[supple bear]

kinda looks like a frog yelling lol

Ive had many playthroughs where finding moder is the true final boss of the game lol

[snow aurora]

lol

[supple bear]

All the other bosses have pretty easy features to spot

[snow aurora]

Found yag's altar while sailing along plains coast

[supple bear]

Yeah thats generally how i find yag too

Like i said you can basically see his rock formation from space

its probably the most obvious thing in the entire game

[heady parcel]

My yag place this time was half covered in mist. Made the fight a bit awkward, was joined by seekers twice 😄

[snow aurora]

I didn't know what I was looking for lol. I didn't know how the altar looked. Ran into an abandoned dvergr tower like thing that had multiple 1 star seekers and 1 star seeker soldier around it. Turns out that was the place i was looking for

[supple bear]

Got a screenshot that sounds pretty cool

the misty yag altar that is

[heady parcel]

#screenshots message Here goes!

[snow aurora]

Was talking about the queen's, mb

[supple bear]

No you're fine im just having two conversations at once

I think you really did get quite unlucky

[heady parcel]

I'm not sure I like this thing that bosses don't fight mobs. I know it is so you can't kite the boss away to get ganked by neighbours, but it feels unfair when seekers swoop in in the middle of my fight with Yagluth and they don't even take damage from his AoE. Ashlands much better that way in that the AoE of various mobs damage other mobs, even though they are "allies".

Could be tweaked a bit so mobs will at least take damage to bosses' AoE powers so unintentional reinforcements like that are less angst-inducing.

[supple bear]

Bosses do kill mobs though

[heady parcel]

Only tames

[supple bear]

Faders whole gimmick is killing mobs with his aoe

including all the random ashlands mobs you aggro during the fight, not just the ones he summons

Your supposed to use that aoe that follows you to kill all that stuff

[heady parcel]

Haven't fought Fader yet - but it seems Ashlands is better constructed overall this way. Yag definitely did not do any harm to the bugs

[supple bear]

I dont think its unique to fader but then again ive never tried to biome war bosses

[heady parcel]

I am pretty certain you need mods to force any mob to aggro any boss

[supple bear]

having aggro and doing damage are two different things

maybe it is unique to faders aoe move that follows you

[heady parcel]

I would assume so

[snow aurora]

As much as I hate getting surrounded by massive numbers of charred creatures it feels much better than walking in the mistlands with all sorts of creepy noises coming in the background and low visibility

[supple bear]

Now that i think about it baiting a log troll to smack bonemass would probably be entertaining

[lone rampart]

I’ve seen trolls die to leech poison, they wouldn’t survive long

[supple bear]

Yeah getting them to the boss is definately the problem lol

A lot of people probably dont know that trolls can harvest silver nodes from some reason

but again the problem is actually getting one to a node without dying lol

[snow aurora]

Kited a log troll into the swamps. It got me 40 blood bags and lots of entrails XD

[heady parcel]

Trolls without logs can't hit leeches in the water it seems, so they're pretty much sitting ducks and will stand there pounding in vain until they die

[supple bear]

prospecting swamp for mud piles with a troll log is like peak 2021 strats

[snow aurora]

No. Log trolls do smash the leeches is what I've witnessed. That was along the coast

They one shot leeches

[heady parcel]

Yeah, log trolls have much larger AoE reach - the logless ones aren't so lucky though, I often see them walk into swamp water and get roflstomped by leeches.

[supple bear]

you can get a ground is shaking event in the swamp for easy troll access

not that thats incredibly consistent or anything

but that raid does spawn in the swamp

[heady parcel]

But if they walk deeper into the water they will massacre the leeches, it is if they remain on ever so slightly higher ground

[supple bear]

doesnt spawn in the mountains sadly

[snow aurora]

What's the longest in game days you've spent for a biome

[supple bear]

Like what biome takes the longest?

[heady parcel]

Never kept track, but I tend to go a lot back and forth

[supple bear]

Or what biome do i think is cool and spend themos t time in

[snow aurora]

Yeah

[supple bear]

for me personally mistlands because im an end game mage enjoyer

plains is probably the second one because its a farming simulator

Being a humble flax farmer that ocassionaly gets pestered by little green guys

[timber marsh]

Blah the gap between the iron sledge and the demolisher is huge... I love big hammer

Wonderful for dealing with those pesky greydwarves

[snow aurora]

I'm at day 544 rn, 243 days in the mistlands XD. So much new stuff, so much grinding. Probably would've taken 50 more in game days if I would've looked for the queen in mines

[heady parcel]

Since it came up, I'll spit on my fave rock again - I wish the big hammers had a regular attack combo as primary and the "me smash" move was the secondary. Make it viable to use as main fighting weapon, not just an aoe gimmick or group crowd control.

[supple bear]

Oh

If im playing pretty casually im usually done by like day 120 or so

thats with a fixed seed though

i dont care much for exploration anymore

[timber marsh]

Well there's smaller hammers for that. The sledge does what it's meant to do... HULK SMASH

[snow aurora]

Greydwarfs? Lmao they get knocked back quite a few metres while holding block

[timber marsh]

If it does not kill em one hit yeah

It's so good in swamp. But kinda useless in plains

[heady parcel]

Fair enough. I just don't find the smashy move useful enough for the inventory slot - so the hammer stays on the wall 99% of the time. If I remember I will bring it to mines, but I tend to forget it most of the time anyway...

[timber marsh]

I just enjoy using it

But it's too weak after plains

[heady parcel]

The fat impact and seeing mobs flying IS very enjoyable!

[snow aurora]

Demolisher gives me so much control in the plains, I just love smashing fulings with it

[supple bear]

look how insane this seed is by the way, i built my base on that little patch of meadows inbetween the bonemass swamp and yag plains right under moders mountain. The queen is just north of that and all vendors are withing like a 5 minute walking distance

VbWeuvBCy3

[digital cedar]

Hammers are good for infested mines if you find the right spot so you dont hit the vines blocking the entrance

[supple bear]

The sail to ashlands was long but good lord that seed is beautiful

[timber marsh]

Oh? Got a screenshot I can't rn

The world my friend just made everything is SO FAR AWAY

[supple bear]

uh sure why not hold on

[timber marsh]

A no portal run on his seed would be torture

[supple bear]

theres things the seed viewer doesnt show though

[timber marsh]

We have a dedicated server but everyone also has their own worlds

[heady parcel]

No-portals is the only way hehe

[supple bear]

like the crypts in the bonemass swamp are loaded with iron

and theres like 4 silver nodes right next to eachother on that mountain

[timber marsh]

If I had more time to play I fully agree

I actually like sailing

[supple bear]

Here you go #building-screenshots message

[timber marsh]

Wait where's spawn

[supple bear]

i put it in the wrong channel my bad

#screenshots message

[snow aurora]

You don't even need the drakkar to sail to the ashlands with that seed XD

[supple bear]

nope

theres a piece of land incredibly close to ocean border

and the spawn is a good run south from that location i screen shotted but elder is on the way

after you kill elder its like a 20 minute run to that screenshot

the swamp is loaded, the plains is giga loaded, and the mountain ultra loaded

[gray ridge]

Hi all, literally just joined! I am playing vanilla on an easy world starting level 1 right now with passive enemies. just kinda wanna chill and be all cozy before bed, does anyone wanna join?

[tacit crystal]

You can try asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍
Also welcome.

[gray ridge]

thanks

[heady parcel]

Ugh, I only now realised the build cost of Ashwood is twice that of regular wood for the corresponding piece. Whyyyyyy...

Thought I had lots of the stuff, big NOPE

[supple bear]

because its burned

[heady parcel]

Fair enough - then gief an Ashwood kiln that lets me process regular wood into ashwood

😉

[supple bear]

isnt ash wood technically a finite resource

[heady parcel]

I was wondering how on earth I was eating through the stacks so quickly

[supple bear]

you get it from pois and the trees but eventually those run out and theres no sapplings

[snow aurora]

Can the dead raiser skele have better gear? I see them equipped with bronze buckler and sword

[supple bear]

they can have different gear but its mostly cosmetic

[heady parcel]

Yes, and since environmental damage fells so many trees and bursts the logs, much of it is lost due to despawning

[supple bear]

theres no difference between the buckler and the round shield skeleton

they dont even use the shields lol

[snow aurora]

Oh

[supple bear]

they can also spawn with a bow

those are generally the better ones

[tacit crystal]

Their damage output increases by raising your blood magic skill level.

To be more specific, only the newly summoned ones deal increased damage tho.

[nocturne wolf]

The sword and bow look like early equipment but they have unique stats, and the buckler is cosmetic.

[heady parcel]

I'd love if you could actually outfit your summons with crafted gear and this made them more durable and increased their damage output

[supple bear]

leveling blood magic is one of the most painful things in the game though even with the optimal setup

you can bait a skeleton into attacking twig, which gives full xp, by using a trapped poison blob

and it still takes forever

and if you go to far away from the skeletons they try to follow you and stop attacking

[merry pebble]

Just play and dont forecefully level it then 😄

[heady parcel]

I suppose using a greydwarf spawner as a skelly fight arena would be an efficient way (and provide some resources) but the archers can destroy the actual spawner if unlucky, right?

[supple bear]

if you dig a pit they should never kill the spawner

the greydwarves will spawn on the ground under it and you cant break them by removing the ground under them

they simply hover in mid air

[merry pebble]

I think they might target the spawner itself if they see it, but not 100% on that and too lazy to check rn 😄

[heady parcel]

I did build a greydwarf "farm" once as an experiment, but just can't bring myself to just sit afk and let it work, it is more fun and equally efficient to just walk around the forest at night.

[supple bear]

I mean unless you need eyes theres more efficient ways to get wood and stone anyway

[heady parcel]

But, if I was to make any of the magic staves, I think that would be the motivation I need to make one again.

Shame I have destroyed all greydorf spawners I have seen, would need to go exploring...

[heady parcel]

That's what I am afraid of - going through all the trouble to dig a pit and the skelly goes "oooh, kill THAT" and poof

[tacit crystal]

The skeletts don't target spawners by themselves. But they can definitely hit them when hitting enemies spawning.

[heady parcel]

So, to make a sustainable "training farm" would involve somehow shielding the spawner from the skellies below without blocking the spawning, I'm not sure I am interested enough in the subject to explore that. I don't do magic and I don't need a greydwarf farm for their drops...

[fossil delta]

Now that I have probably months of time, you have me thinking of trying out Ashland spawners for magic training.

[tacit crystal]

Draugr spawners can be buried underground by raising ground around them, then skeletts can't hit them.

Maybe something similar could be done to greydwarf spawner too.

[fossil delta]

Worth trying. Then you don't have to worry about the water table either. Any spawner would be usable.

[heady parcel]

Don't ashlands mobs generally annihilate the skellies though?

[fossil delta]

No idea. I haven't tried out magic into the Ashlands.

[heady parcel]

I tried the firestaff once, and dead raiser once. Had a skelly named Gudrun running around the mists around my old Mistlands base for weeks, she scared me witless a few times. Then one day she stopped appearing, guess something got her in the end...

[tacit crystal]

Recasting bubble each time one breaks is one way... But in Ashlands it might get more tedious.

Although bubble breaking grants also xp.

[heady parcel]

If the spawner is enclosed so no other disturbances will invade, I suppose that would only buff the skill gain. Bubble taking hits also gives xp, no?

[fossil delta]

As he said, yes it does.

[tacit crystal]

Bubble breaking, not bubble taking hits.

[heady parcel]

Right. Casting the bubble requires a certain amount of eitr, no? I suppose my regular HHF diet won't provide enough eitr for a bubble.

[merry pebble]

And that is only bubble braking on you specifically, if you put your tames or summons in the bubble and it breaks on them you will not get any xp.
-# However if you put your friends in a bubble and it breaks they will get xp 😄

[heady parcel]

Gosh, guess I have to go craft those pesky staves

[heady parcel]

Ugh, so bubbling the skellies would only serve to not have them be massacred non-stop

[merry pebble]

Yep

[heady parcel]

Sounds like a greydorf training pit would be more efficient - but a charred pit more interesting 😄

[fossil delta]

I wonder what the spawn limit is on Ashland spawners? 3 like it is for the dwarf spawner?

[merry pebble]

I have a feeling its more 🤔 but only feeling

[fossil delta]

I suspect its more too, which is why I asked, in case anyone knows.

Pretty sure the draugr one is 3 as well, but its been a while since I have set them up for training. Just sausages.

[tacit crystal]

2 actually for draugr spawners.

[heady parcel]

I honestly have no idea - I have never once walked close enough to an ashlands spawner to let it activate, I always bombard them from afar

[fossil delta]

Good to know. When I go for sausages, I'm just shooting them. I thought I had 3 running around at times, but wasn't sure.

[tacit crystal]

Some can certainly join from afar.

[fossil delta]

Well, they are enclosed in Draugr Village houses, or I use the swamp tower with the spawner in it. So they are pretty well contained.

The stone circles with 2 spawners in them I just usually destroy.

Which is probably why they are limited to 2 each. 4 draugr can be pretty tough. 😄 6 would be even worse.

[keen sierra]

all biomes weapon is crafted normally, meanwhile it costs 999 silver ingots to craft thin sword and cost 9999 silver ingots to fully upgrade thin silver sword.

silver weapon is godly expensive lol

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword is better than mistwalker against many ashlands enemies

[keen sierra]

i know, no need to yap about this since we finished our journey for now.

there's good chance that i will be inactive from this server for very long time.

[fossil delta]

You forgot to mention the iron. Close to 20 to get it to lvl 4.

Plus nearly 2 veins of silver.

[keen sierra]

i know, it takes 160 silvers to craft and fully upgrade silver sword which only take measly 23 iron to craft any fully upgrade.

[agile jewel]

Hey, im new to valheim. Is there a way to travel through portals with metal? Thanks

[keen sierra]

there is two ways, one is special portal variant which is only be crafted in final biome, and other is use world modifier (portal modifier) to disable metal restriction.

[agile jewel]

Ah okay, i just discovered the swamp so there is a long way to the final biome, i think i ll do the world modifier thing

[keen sierra]

alright

[agile jewel]

I just saw that there is a mod called teleport everything, is that better than the world modifier changes?

[keen sierra]

they're same thing

[agile jewel]

Okay thanks

[keen sierra]

there's mod for it because it was made before world modifier was added

[agile jewel]

Didnt know that, just got into this amazing game

[lone flint]

guys what modifyers should i use for my valheim server , we are 4 people and its the first time ever for the other 3, i want to set resource to 2x because there wont be enough recourses for all of them to craft gear, but im afraid it might ruin their first experience, tell me what you think if possible ❤️

[keen sierra]

ofc. by thr way, i'm valheim veteran.

[short gale]

1.5 is best personally or it might go by too fast but Im solo so idk nuttin ig

[agile jewel]

I play w everything on normal and its my first time, i will change the portal thing tho

[keen sierra]

idk cuz we only kept drop at 1 and i only play with 1 friend, that is it.

1.5 seem fair enough

[hasty citrus]

2x resources fs

1.5 also works

[lone flint]

then 1.5 it is

thanks for the help guys

[hasty citrus]

I used to play 1x but the sheer level of grind to get full gear in an area was awful. I still think they need to double drops for iron and silver

[agile jewel]

If you play solo its not that bad

[hasty citrus]

The more people there are the harder. I play me and a friend but I like building a ton and needing iron for armor and builds is tough

[lone flint]

i also played on normal with a friend and i feel what youre saying , too timeconsuming to fully upgrade gear for 2 ppl

[hasty citrus]

100%

[chrome badge]

Not inherently true, you also gather resources faster with more people, and kill things faster.

[lone flint]

then ill just go with 2x for now to see what happens when we reach swamp

[chrome badge]

You can even load up 2+ boats at a time for one trip's worth of time.

[keen sierra]

i don't mind about grinds

(especially we have portal restriction disabled)

[lone flint]

its true but not when players are playing next to each other all the time, in my server we quickly went out of copper nodes in the main island and needed to sail in order to get some more copper

[hasty citrus]

A lot of resource grind is finding the places to grind at. I’ve had to clear out entire swamps and then search for a while for more just for 2 people. I think with more people it’s more unfair to enjoy finding it

[hasty citrus]

YEEESSSSS this

[keen sierra]

two players is small but fair enough to play through game without madness related to resource.

[hasty citrus]

I just think it’s too much, grinding needs to feel purposeful but needing a whole boatload is nuts

[keen sierra]

only for me, but yeah is it for you.

[hasty citrus]

Yeah true, it may be in part to both of us getting full armor, shields, swords, and upgrading them each

[chrome badge]

Ah, well it's still going to be faster than it would be solo to clear those nodes, and I've never had a starter island with less than 40 nodes so that must be a small start island.

[lone flint]

unfortunately yeah its a really small island

[keen sierra]

i think yeah is it.

[lone flint]

might also ask the guys and change the world entirely and start again , we have only beaten elder so far

[quiet folio]

wow i had no idea but makes sense why i lost all my stuff in the server. 🙁

[keen sierra]

what do you mean?

[quiet folio]

the discord server hack

[keen sierra]

also, just wondering, has you finished your valheim journey for now?

like literally anyone

[deft blaze]

I've been on steam for 16 years, I have 1100 games and 1,000+ hours into a bunch of them. It only took 9 months for Valheim to hit my #1 playtime, and it's competing with idling in other games like AFK farming in Terraria, I'm stunned. What an incredible game (the math says I have a problem)

I'm playing no map/no portal w/o spoilers & wiki, really taking my time exploring and building all over the world, and I'm about to fight Fader for the first time. Wish me luck

[keen sierra]

how much hours did you played in valheim?

[chrome badge]

Best of luck!

[deft blaze]

I've enjoyed the level of drops. Each of my pieces of gear and each set of, ex, iron bars on my castle feels like an accomplishment with what it's taken. I want to protect my equipment and builds, instead of just dying and losing to raids because I can rebuild easily. It's forced me to play this game differently than others and it has been so much fun as a result

Finding a crypt on a shore while I'm out, or a bridge that I can mine up easily is rewarding, instead of just another structure I'll sail by because the resources are easy

[short gale]

Nice stud Im traveling to zee queen as we type

[deft blaze]

1622 hours so far, I'm on day 1555 so some of that is probably sitting at the pause/main menu

[hasty citrus]

I feel the opposite. Since you have to go through so many crypts they lose their charm

[keen sierra]

Goodluck.

[hasty citrus]

Bro how

I thought I was a fan

[chrome badge]

I only had to go through maybe 10, beat bonemass, and started wishboning iron until I was into Mistlands.

Even then I am overflowing.

[hasty citrus]

10 is kinda crazy

[keen sierra]

Damn, that's more than ALL of my game.. except for terraria (1,771 hours)

which is like over 2.2 months

[hasty citrus]

Huh

[chrome badge]

Is it? There was about 30 in my swamp area, and each one was very different so nothing became stale.

[hasty citrus]

30???

I had like 5 my last run

[chrome badge]

I had to go through about 10 in every other dungeon as well to be fair.

[keen sierra]

tiny teeny swamp

[hasty citrus]

Can I see the seed perhaps? I’m curious if maybe I just got super unlucky

[hasty citrus]

I had to sail across the seas to find more

[keen sierra]

Grab map generator

[chrome badge]

Sure just a moment.

[hasty citrus]

It was very small

[keen sierra]

use map generator map and mark what swamp you've been to with this many crypts.

[chrome badge]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1352161012689801309 Here it is

[chrome badge]

Way ahead of you 😛

[deft blaze]

Since I don't know the game and I'm playing no map/no portal, I have had to explore and find my way home a bunch. I've been lost a ton, and not sure what to do next a bunch. Finding the bosses has always been difficult and taken forever

I've spent hundreds of days building just for fun, collecting ~80,000 stone and thousands of iron for a castle, marking the shores of ~ half of the landmasses in the world with letters so I can know where I'm at. Building bridges, paths, etc. I don't even know what's in the game, so I'm exploring every new/weird thing I see

I'm also playing super safe since dying usually means making a new boat and coming back after no skill drain wears off - if I can even find where I died

[hasty citrus]

That’s rly rly cool

[hasty citrus]

😖

[deft blaze]

I didn't find haldor until about day 400 when I was starting mistlands. He was on a small island near spawn I kept telling myself I would explore later >_<
The belt is a game changer

[solar plaza]

Yeah, especially for getting iron/black metal. Massively reduces amount of trips back and forth weight wise. For those who've fished there's also the ||mead of trolls endurance||

[abstract warren]

Damn blueberries are so hard to come by

[buoyant panther]

Make sure to mark your favorite blueberry patches on the map!

[quaint pond]

We really need those

[sour furnace]

if anyone here likes to play the silly way: abt how many askvin (1-star) do you need to kill fader?

[rigid raven]

if we dont get deep north by March in PTB im gonna REEEEEEEEE

[gray sand]

And we will all be here to wave at you.

[rigid raven]

Im not leaving

im just reeeeing

[pure atlas]

Is there another reliable seed map generator site other than valheim-map? Im trying to help my friend and the seed he is sending me does not line up with the map he has. The only letter that we might put in wrong is a lower case l but neither of them are giving us the proper map

[solar plaza]

If it's is an older map, you may need to input your files you have if you're on a pc.

[pure atlas]

hes pretty new to the game so its a recent install

[solar plaza]

Does he run pc?

[pure atlas]

yes

[solar plaza]

Has he tried uploading the (i think it's fb and wot files?) (The website tells you where to find them

[pure atlas]

yikes nah. He isnt very technically savvey , im trying to help him but were communicating through text lol

[abstract warren]

I can't find enough blueberries for good food...

[chrome badge]

Odd, my closest black forest had 20+ patches of 5 or more blueberry bushes.

Are you marking them as you go?

[raven dagger]

I’m about to play the game again after a year’s break. Have they added growing berry bushes yet?

Or at least moving existing bushes?

[short gale]

Got all the way to the queen lair. Died by four seekers. Its not looking great for me lads

[chrome badge]

There's no plans to do that, so no, they're forage-able items to keep players moving throughout the world.

You can always create a portal chain between bush patches.

[raven dagger]

Dang, is that really considered so egregious compared to crops?

[chrome badge]

It's meant to encourage exploration and keep biomes relevant.

[raven dagger]

…Berries alone?

Have they added a bunch of relevant uses for berries to make that worthwhile?

[chrome badge]

No, there's over 20 items that are only foraged.

[raven dagger]

Because farming certain enemy types was always the reason I thought biomes stayed relevant

[short gale]

You like ur berries huh

[raven dagger]

I like jam making

[chrome badge]

I would recommend marking large patches of berry bushes, and creating a portal chain that starts are your base and goes through a lot of large patches, and eventually returning you back to your base.

[solar plaza]

Is that your jam?

[raven dagger]

Indeed. I like to start jammin’ along

[raven dagger]

Man, even though I know that portals become pretty trivial to make, that always seems like a waste of resources for some reason, XD

I’ll try to put my existing portals to biomes near berry patches, at least

[odd flare]

whats up yall

[solar plaza]

Anything but my wages

Nah, doing good lol

How bout you

[steel mica]

Troll tree farm 🤔

[raven dagger]

One of my favorite authors is called Broseph, your username made me double take, XD

[chrome badge]

Yeah it becomes very easy to make, and it takes some time to explore enough to locate patches worth portaling to anyways. It emulates having berry farms quite well after it's all set up, you just run forward and collect berries until you're sent back to your base.

[odd flare]

im doing great, just started my first grind a bit ago after working all day. no clue how i never found this game until the 50% off deal

[raven dagger]

About how long for berries to regrow, again?

[chrome badge]

5 hours roughly, so if you need a lot of berries, you'll need more berry patches to chain between.

[solar plaza]

Nice, yeah it's a good gem. I've definitely enjoyed playing through it

[raven dagger]

Wait, is that static, or is there a number of in-game days I can keep in mind?

[solar plaza]

I believe each full day is a half hour

[short gale]

The wisps r dancin

[odd flare]

just beat my first boss or whatever, debating stockpiling or moving into the forest

[short gale]

21mins I think

[solar plaza]

Not sure how it's divided between day/night tho, I'll go check

[short gale]

9min night

[raven dagger]

So once a week, roughly?

…Can we make a time-piece thing that keeps track of how old the world is?

[solar plaza]

Yeah 21 mins for day, 9 for night

[solar plaza]

How old the world is? You mean what day it is? Usually announces it each day which one it is currently

[raven dagger]

Does it? Like I said, took a break for a year

[solar plaza]

Yeah, either sleep or hit that night to day transition and it'll tell you

Currently on day 437 in my current world

[raven dagger]

Decided I liked Valheim more than Megabonk

Tag swap it is.

Favorite part of Valheim?
Steamdeck verified.

[abstract warren]

Yes

[short gale]

How many fps you get on steamdeck?

I really dont know how it works tbf

[raven dagger]

I’ll check in a bit, took a break to eat popcorn before starting this new run

[short gale]

Those r pretty shweeet

[odd flare]

founda moneybag icon in the fog, what is that

[short gale]

Haldor trader

[odd flare]

so coins are currency, sick

can i build a base around him so hes in it?

didnt even have to sail. this "island" that im on is huge, i cant get the coastlines to connect

[soft goblet]

how do I "fly" to build on xobx?

xbox

[round shard]

Look pm 🙂

[raven dagger]

I think there’s a no build/mine field around his shop. Might also repel monsters? Building next to him ain’t bad, though

[soft goblet]

Thank you! (am I not supposed to ask for that kind of stuff here?)

[round shard]

u are but i dont think im allowed to put yt links so thats why 🙂

but i hope it can help you out 🙂

[soft goblet]

ah okay, good to know! Thank you!!

Yes! I don't have as much time to play as I used to and I just can't spend the time building scaffolding just to build high

[raven dagger]

Construction in this game is kinda interesting, one of the only games I know of to take structural integrity into account

[rare lichen]

Building in Valheim is 🐐
Especially with all the things we can build with and decorate now 😄

[raven dagger]

Funny that how cool your house is determines how well rested you are, XD

[rare lichen]

One of my favorite things about Valheim is that when I get tired of dying I can decorate the kitchen
Its so flexible 🙂

[abstract warren]

Basically hardcore Sims

[spiral pike]

Anyone have any tips for finding yagluth or his vegvisir? Have searched 10+ plains, spent 3 irl days sailing around the world with no luck. About to walk away from the game for a few weeks at this point

[lone rampart]

Sail the coastlines and look for him reaching for the heavens. 🫴

[spiral pike]

Yeah ive been doing that with no luck

[analog stirrup]

Me post going to Ashlands : "WHAT IS THIS PLACE WHAT IS ASHLANDS WHY DO THE DEVS CHOOSE VIOLENCE" LOL

[rare lichen]

Its good to take breaks from Valheim if you feel burned out 🙂
Most people dont find the Yagluth vegvisir, they see the Boss Altar itself off in the distance
Sailing in whatever direction the wind takes you is probably the best way to find it...
Provided the wind takes you in the right direction 😜

[lone rampart]

If you're truly feeling frustrated with it, you can load your seed on valheim-map.world and see what direction you need to go

[hasty citrus]

what happens if I launch my old legacy save?

oh no

I think I got all the new content. I want it to stay legacy

[hasty citrus]

Honestly you could have just gotten a bad seed. I love this game but it can have some unlucky map gen. I’ve had my fair share of seeds where there were zero altars or vegvisirs. At that point maybe just look up a seed map and check where it is

[abstract warren]

Just had my first leviathan encounter. Got off with 37 chitin

What should I craft?

Abyssal ravor?

[spiral pike]

yeah its most likely the case, made another world seed to prep for deep north and think the spawn is probably somewhere fairly inland

Trying to avoid looking up locations if i can help it

[rare lichen]

You can play legacy, but you need to do a few things first.
The options available easily in steam are:

• Pre-CallToArms
• Pre-BogWitch
• Pre-Ashlands
• Pre-Mistlands

To adjust your version of Valheim, go into your steam settings and browse your games
Right click on Valheim and select properties
Look for the drop down list under "Betas"
The current oldest legacy version in steam is Pre-Mistlands

[rare lichen]

Thats my favorite weapon in the game 😄 😄
It looks awesome! I love knives in Valheim too much jajaja

[abstract warren]

Hmm idk the other knifes so far haven't proven particularly useful to me I think

But I heard the Abyssal razor is special

[rare lichen]

I like using knives because they attack very quickly, so you can run around monsters and wittle away their health even if the monster is stronger, avoiding getting hit without having to dodgeroll or block because of the knifes movement speed benefit

The Abyssal Razor is really strong if you get it early, otherwise its hard to use after the Plains
Its one of my favorite weapons overall though, its fun to craft, has a unique source of materials, looks cool, does good damage for when its available. What more could one ask for out of a knife?

[hollow marten]

would anyone be willing to hop on to my world and help me kill some ulvs? My dad and I were way in over our heads going into the mountains (we're very inexperienced) and got killed in a frost dungeon, and we cant get our stuff back

[hasty citrus]

I love the new updates I just want it for that one world to maintain its history (it was legacy originally).

[hasty citrus]

I get that

Alr nighty night

[hasty citrus]

That is so cool that you are playing with your dad.

[unreal pike]

Still need help?

[hollow marten]

yes!

[unreal pike]

DM me ill be on in a minute

[unreal pike]

@chilly citrus copper and tin is the biggest pain youll expirience

[plush umbra]

guys i know this isnt where to ask but im not really looking yet i just wanna know, are there any rp server or like adventure type server for valheim?

[tacit crystal]

Probably some modded servers.

[heady parcel]

Any location you have already explored in an old world will remain unchanged, content from later updates only apply to terrain that is generated (explored) after the update. This is true for the most part - but it is important to know that the Ashlands update sunk a lot of land into the sea in the south and north to make sure both Ashlands and Deep North have no land connection to other biomes. So if you have built things in the extreme north or south on that world, those things will likely be hanging in space and disintegrate after loading in...

[plush umbra]

I see

[abstract warren]

Are Leviathans really that rare? Already found another one

[heady parcel]

There aren't that many on a world, but if you sail a lot between islands you are bound to find a lot anyway. To me they are just obstacles so I usually hop on and give them a couple of whacks to sink them...

[abstract warren]

You don't need the chitin?

Just found my third one btw lol

[tacit crystal]

Chitin is currently needed only for harpoon and Abyssal razor. So if one has both of them then gathering more isn't necessary.

[abstract warren]

Yay found Hildir

In the peaceful meadows also. Nice

Right next to a Draugr village though. Lmao

Literally camped right on the border between meadows and plains. And right next to a Draugr village. What are the odds??

I was this close to dying rn lol 🤏

Oh it's the lady trader... And she only sells useless stuff

[heady parcel]

Useful for farming and building, but nothing particularly exciting for more warlike activities. The firepit is useful to make fireplaces on wooden floors though.

But the mini-bosses are fun, and unlock exciting new raids 😉

[tacit crystal]

Farming set is available after you return the first chess.

Barber kit also allows building barber station, which allows changing hair/beard styles, and there are some new styles that are not available in character creation.

But at least you now have one trader who you can sell your valuables.

Also, sealed towers have practical early reward at the end of it, which is ||chicken eggs||, which become available to ||Haldor's wares after defeating Yagluth||.

[zenith mist]

hey i wanna ask something

is it like more helpful to find haldor after defeating bonemass?

[heady parcel]

Doesn't really matter when you find him. But certain things he sells are unlocked by boss kills

[oak river]

He's good to find at any time

[cedar stump]

Fully upgraded embla set and maxxed dundr, portal set near fader 😄

We might do the sword quest/location before doing the boss

[tacit crystal]

Dundr is fun stuff. Maybe not most optimal for all situations but fun and feels badass.
This is the fun stuff I'm talking about: #memes-and-clips message

[cedar stump]

I wasn't sure about mage on my first few days but I like the versatility and utility. Especially with my partner so I just wreckhavoc. Dundr I've been mostly using on Morgens.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, Dundr is super effective against Morgen. #memes-and-clips message

[cedar stump]

Oh wait you can parry them ?

Always scared to get staggered/stun

[burnt glen]

Yes, safe way to do it is when they land the little hop right before rolling. You can parry that exact moment, and if you don't time right, the damage isn't substantial enough to stun you.

[nocturne wolf]

With the staff of protection active you can parry any blockable attack because you take no stagger

[cedar stump]

Oh wow that's good to know im so used to my partner tanking for me ill have to try

[zenith mist]

what is a good armour to fight bonemass?

iron lvl 2 is good enough?

[oak river]

Yeah that's good

[merry pebble]

All bosses are balanced to be beatable with lvl1 gear, tho it might be somewhat challenging 🙂
If you upgrade you will have easier time of course.

[sick bear]

anyone have a auto boar farm after the wall patch?

[near furnace]

wall patch?

[tacit crystal]

Patch that added walls in game?

[zenith mist]

guess what

[near furnace]

what?

[zenith mist]

i reached the island with bonemass

and immedietly

2 wraiths 2 1 star draugrs

5 skeletons and 1 1 star leech

and 3 normal leeches

on me as soon as parked my boat on the island

[near furnace]

sounds like a perfect warmup before you eventually have to go to ashlands

[zenith mist]

this is so cooked

idk how to get my stuff back even

[oak river]

Gotta sail back and place a portal ASAP

[nocturne wolf]

Are there any earlier biomes next to the swamp which you can land at?

[near furnace]

naked speed run usually works best

[near furnace]

why ASAP?

your stuff doesn't despawn 🤔

[oak river]

ASAP after getting there

Before you die again and have to sail back a second time

[tacit crystal]

Portal at safer biome next to that swamp is good idea.

[near furnace]

land 200-300 meter away, run naked, pickup stuff, run some more 😄

[zenith mist]

ok got my stuff back

wraiths were not there but they destroyed my iron boat

ts is so cooked

[oak river]

All the materials of your boat should be in the water

So you can just rebuild it

[tacit crystal]

Wraiths are night spawns mostly so they despawn when night ends.

[zenith mist]

nah i took my stuff and ran

the boats materials would have despawned

ill see if its there or not later

cause now there is a draugr spawner and a abomination there

im kinda cooked there and now i tired placing my portal in the black forest near the swamp where the bonemass altar is

and got ambushed by a whole lot of greydrawfs and like a 1 star troll and a bear

my luck is cooked

[candid basalt]

I died 13 times yesterday thanks to 4 gjalls and several seeker soldiers. All in the space of three hours. Setbacks happen 😀

[short gale]

I strike a commandment. NO MORE RUNNING!

[glossy heath]

basically how i play already

[tacit crystal]

Like no more pressing shift to sprint or no more running from situations?

[glossy heath]

out of stamina in combat? never heard of it, i never let myself drop below 40%

[short gale]

WHat wE DO in this lifetime echoes in eternity

[tacit crystal]

Were you aware of stamina regen decreasing after regenerating stamina meter to half?

[glossy heath]

i am aware the regen speed is higher the lower you are relative to your max stamina

and it would be more accurate to say that i only let myself do actions that are essential to survival below 40%. dodgerolls, parries, jumping, maybe attacking, nothing greedy

for the most part i take it slow in combat, just walking around and picking safe openings.
-# works fantastic everywhere until you get to ashlands, ashlands hate that playstyle

-# at least last time i played. i was taking so long for each combat encounter that by the time i got done, i'd immediately get swarmed by the next

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I was not aware of it until some time ago, also the fact that holding block while regaining stamina decreases the regen to 80%.

[glossy heath]

yepp, i also avoid that...usually.
i didn't avoid it in that one bonemass with minimal gear demonstration video and i remember noticing that when watching the footage back and being like "why'd i do that, that just makes things harder on myself"

but i guess it was in the spirit of the video - not playing or gearing too optimally

[heady parcel]

That last part I was unaware of, can't say I have noticed it much even though I tend to turtle a lot in combat. Kill a few, back off and raise shield and let stamina regenerate...

Can make that a wee bit more efficient it seems

[tacit crystal]

Kinda same: I didn't notice much difference, but it was ThreadMenace who informed me that when I posted one video on Valheim subreddit.

[glossy heath]

i learned it through the wiki way back

[tacit crystal]

This video, to be specific: #memes-and-clips message

[tacit crystal]

Have you posted that video anywhere?

[near furnace]

about 3 ingame days before things despawns

unless it's a tombstone

or within the protective barrier

[glossy heath]

https://youtu.be/CxtQDgQx11c unlisted on youtube, would occasionally bring it up in convos about bonemass but it's outdated now. nothing special either way haha

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, also since CtA parrying became also viable since it doesn't cost stamina anymore and perfect dodging returns some stamina.

Stamina management bit easier now.

[glossy heath]

just not certain if you can parry bonemass with max HP that low haha

...well, with a buckler you can for sure

[tacit crystal]

Just was going to say that.

[glossy heath]

but yea, my perhaps slightly petty point with that demo was that bonemass is a really easy fight if you just pay attention to the lessons swamps try to teach you;
significant damage type resistances are a thing - taught by blobs and abominations, admittedly you can't certainly predict what bonemass is gonna resist until you encounter it
stamina management is important - you're always wet so you'll be way more aware of that
don't let yourself get overwhelmed by groups, keep an eye on your surroundings - bonemass spawns additional enemies and they start pretty far away from you

oh yea and poison, that's a pretty obvious one

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, I remember first time when we encountered Bonemass with my group it became bit messy since we didn't google anything and weren't too aware what to expect. IIRC only 2 of us carried maces and I think only I carried poison meads from the start, which caused all the others except me dying few times.

[glossy heath]

my first bonemass was the complete opposite 😅
my buddy who had already fought it made it sound really scary so i was putting it off and ultimately overprepared...like really hard
it was probably the easiest boss on my first playthrough because of that, and to this day it hasn't been harder to me than even moder or the elder despite minimal preparation

i remember building a tall roof over the whole arena for that first fight (so we wouldn't be wet)
bonemass spawned on top of it and the first 2 minutes of the fight were just us all laughing as he tried to break it and get down to us

[tacit crystal]

Some encounters become so fun with a good group, especially the first times.
We started new run with my group after CtA (and they haven't played Ashlands properly yet in our old world), they absolutely loved the addition of bears and last time we played before Christmas they got to figure out Viles the first time. One of their reaction was constant repeating "wtf is that".

[glossy heath]

man i gotta play again, last time i really did was when the bog witch update was in testing

[tacit crystal]

Reaction of my friend getting spooked by bear (caution for loud noise ) #memes-and-clips message

[tacit crystal]

Trinkets are also fun addition. 👍

[glossy heath]

ah we'll see when scar and i next get some completely free time~

[short gale]

The queen is no more

[paper marsh]

Sounds like regicide to me

[lethal imp]

Hey guys, new player here, already have 13.5 hours in 4 days

[lone rampart]

Welcome!

[hexed sand]

hii

[lethal imp]

Hellooo

Pretty fun game solo

I just entered the bronze age

[steel mica]

I love trolls

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-warzone-troll-gif-20833764

[unkempt marten]

i hate mountains

[paper marsh]

how come?

[unkempt marten]

for two months im trying to beat game on permadeath

and for twice so far of my longest attempts, both i died in mountains because of first stupidty and now greed

first i got smoked by cultist wearing full root armor (very weak to fire vs them is not best thing to do)

and just now i lost another run

[lone rampart]

oof

[unkempt marten]

bein cornered by 1* wolf and fenrir

i greeded to sneak in and out to get obsidian for workbench upgrade

[paper marsh]

oof, I know that pain

I've been doing exclusively permadeath runs for a while now

[unkempt marten]

night turned i didnt even noticed that, and both of them just suddently jumped at me

now im pissed waiting for 1.0

-# or ill start again once i cool off

[lone rampart]

You're doing better than I would. I guarantee if I even attempted a permadeath run, I'd die to the first beech tree in the meadows.

[unkempt marten]

that ALMOST happend once, xD

[lone rampart]

oh no

[paper marsh]

I put so many restrictions on myself / high difficulty that a lot of my runs end in Black forest (think I've had one end to a tree)

[lone rampart]

My high difficulty nomadic run has kind of stagnated in black forest

[paper marsh]

Although if I can get well into bronze age I find it gets easier. Having access to the ocean in something else than a raft gives pretty busted gear, and so does swamp

[lone rampart]

A troll squished my cart

[round shard]

is it normal u get small lagg spikes in ashland?

[paper marsh]

Some people get pretty poor performance in ashlands yeah

[round shard]

ahh alr but i trought it was my pc there was doing something xD

mistland and other island no issues there

i tryed to adjust the graphic settings but no changes here :/

[paper marsh]

I mean probably a mix of unoptimized biome and suboptimal PC

[round shard]

i got 64 gb ram and 4060 rtx GPU and ryzen 7 i dont think its my pc 😄

can it be bc its a old valheim version world?

[paper marsh]

I'd say its unlikely, but idk

[round shard]

alr

[paper marsh]

I have a less powerful pc and I don't have a problem with Ashlands. I'm also not particularly sensitive to low fps or stutters though, and always play on minimum graphics

[round shard]

ahh alr i guess its the game then bc tryed other games and no issues there

or just the biomes

ty for helping out 🙂

[round shard]

@lucid swift ask in #mods-discussion

[lucid swift]

ty

[steel mica]

Im gonna rush krom and arbalest

any tips for mistlands for doing naked runs?

[oak river]

Uh don't get hit?

[steel mica]

Apart from not dying lol

[true island]

Is there a release date on the deep north yet?

[foggy glacier]

not yet.

[broken kraken]

nope. dont even know if its this year

[white hearth]

My friends and I have had pretty good performance in most of the game but we have been trying to make it through the ashlands now and there's so many lag spikes and two star chard warriors lag glitching and one-shotting you

[arctic garnet]

Are gjall sometimes making less noise to anyone else?

Usually they're making their scary tripod noises long before getting close to them. But I had a gjall I didn't hear until I saw it in the mist. And then another actually sneak up on my village before setting things on fire.

[tacit crystal]

Well, they don't always make the big horn sounding noise, sometimes they do that odd grunting noise too.

[snow aurora]

How do I take on the fort in ashlands without dying 30 times? I've got mist gear level 3, maxed shield, using frostner for spirit damage

I don't see any spawners to break either in the fort

[merry pebble]

Silver sword or mistwalker would be better than frostner in ashlands 🤔
And if you dont mind a bit of cheesy tactics then you can pillar above the walls and snipe the spawners and enemies inside before going in yourself

[grizzled pagoda]

why is there still no deep north biome

[violet rapids]

because it's a lot of working hours

[snow aurora]

Nvm died a few times but killed em. Thanks though

[tacit crystal]

Because it's not ready yet.

[stark pine]

Hi guys
I was wondering, is there any PVP oriented community ? I see no server nor players advertising for some
Is noone interested in it or is it just not balanced enough to be interesting ?

[merry pebble]

The pvp is very basic as it really is not the focus of the game, it is possible simply so friends can have a bit of fun if/when they want. 🙂

So the second option would be pretty much correct 😄

[stark pine]

But more than combat, their could be some limited time competitive speedrun or things like that no ? Idk the fighting and speedrunning have some good core mecanics but you're probably right

[merry pebble]

You can find few servers here and there that will be somewhat pvp oriented, but they are quite rare i would say. And usually dont last long.

[oak river]

The problem with pvp is that weapons damage values don't have armor in mind because enemies have no armor. So you just do like zero damage to your friends

[merry pebble]

Also if the player is even somewhat decent then every attack will be parried or rolled through

[stark pine]

Make sense
I though like hard veteran would somehow get bored of the PVE sometime and go into more focused competitive / speedrunning gameplay, but it probably comes from the game design
Maybe a good mod might make it work someday

[merry pebble]

You could ask folks in #mods-discussion if there isnt one for something like this already 🤔
But yeah, vanilla is very much not designed with pvp in mind 😄

[stark pine]

Thanks for your answers =) Happy adventuring

[merry pebble]

You too!

[snow aurora]

How do I get lightning on berserker axes

[steel mica]

You need to get a gem

From one of the forts

[merry pebble]

You need to find gems that will let you enchant them 🙂

[steel mica]

I just shot a deathsquito while it was circling around me

sweet

[snow aurora]

Ahh iolite, got it ty

[short gale]

I cant get this fatass boat out of my shallow port and I need a crane to move it wtf

Cant even deconstruct this hoss wth

[snow aurora]

You have to break it

[short gale]

Wild

[snow aurora]

You can't disassemble a cart either

[short gale]

This is the SS Gigantic

[lone rampart]

oh just wait

[short gale]

It takes a nuke to break this b*tch

R u supposed to get the ceramic plates back after it breaks cause I didnt

[lone rampart]

They sink, did you break it in shallow water?

[short gale]

Yeah no where to be found

[formal zephyr]

wsp team

[merry pebble]

Either no space or not enough carry weight in your inventory i am afraid

[short gale]

I thought that was the case but I couldnt find it after relieving some weight either

[merry pebble]

Oh, if you didnt get them initially they sunk to the sea floor.

But if oyu would have enough carry weight when you broke it you would pick them up immediately

[short gale]

Right, I got everything else but oh well I made more

[merry pebble]

Yeah, they are not that expensive really 😄

[timber marsh]

Those old counterstrike skills come in handy

[spark dew]

ok it feels like fire damage is too much against the player. I can die in 5 seconds from getting hit by the fuling torch, not from the strike but because the fire did around 80 damage. I had the feather cape on which is very weak against fire. So seems like thats very unbalanced...

[timber marsh]

What armor do you have

[steel mica]

Theres a reason its very weak to fire

[spark dew]

had the eitr set

[steel mica]

Wont save you

[nocturne wolf]

Resistances override weakness. If you have feather cape and can't confidently dodge fire damage sources, bring barley wine.

[spark dew]

omg i hate mistlands lol

[steel mica]

You'll get used to it

[spark dew]

while partially true not all players are the same

[tacit crystal]

If you play as mage and use protection staff it blocks all damage and you won't catch the fire until it breaks.

[vital umbra]

when is a sailing skill gunna be added tbh

[steel mica]

Its kinda not needed really

[spark dew]

it is

[vital umbra]

need versus want and logic is a funny thing

there's many many things you could say aren't needed doesn't mean not good

people get better at running ships

people get better at maneuvering and can row faster etc

magical numbers like you know how to catch the wind and waves better and can sail like 7% faster video game stuff

faster travel is definitely something i want

[steel mica]

Portals

[vital umbra]

super duper ultra lame

[steel mica]

The boat mechanics in valheim is fine imo

But if you want it that way you can always mod it in

[vital umbra]

they're so easy to craft plus you can't bring a bunch of materials through them

[steel mica]

doesnt hurt

[vital umbra]

auegh

Things that are fine aren't things that have 0 room for improvement

[spark dew]

i made suggestion that sailing could help by improving tier 1 rowing speed, and/or add the ghost rowers. Many on this discord love to shoot down ideas because they can't think. Keep suggesting good ideas!

[vital umbra]

i think everything can always be improved period

[lone rampart]

Add another Blood Magic spell that conjures ghostly oarsmen 🤣

🛥️

[spark dew]

see that would be cool, using blood for faster sailing

[vital umbra]

yes maybe something could be added to the meadows, yes there could be better ways to travel, yes certain mechanics could be improved, yes the drop rate of this thing could be tweaked, yes weather could be made this way in this location, yes this mob could get remodelled

especially for an early access game

being able to travel faster is a quality of life thing imo

thats something the game sorely lacks, QOL.

[steel mica]

Arbalest makes hitting moder easier

[spark dew]

new ideas and content is what brings in more sales. A dried up well can't keep a community growing

[vital umbra]

armour slots and trinket slots and cape slots and equipment slots would be so much more aesthetic, even if you had to sacrifice inventory slots for it, but maybe later on when there is so much STUFF you get all the time an upgrade to inventory slots would be warranted, especially mistlands-ashlands

everyone was so against bears, i was adamant they would be perfect for the game, and here they are, and is anyone really complaining.

well maybe idk but i haven't seen it

[spark dew]

whats frustrating about the current progression is indeed lack of QoL stuff. The new unlock in ashlands is entirely pointless by changing the world settings...

[vital umbra]

its all fine and dandy that the devs do what they want with their own product but i mean....if you ignore the community and you want sales then good luck, terraria and re-logic are amazing for that, red constantly talks with players on twitter and reddit and adds features based on the community

[tacit crystal]

Tbf they got their most sales during the first year when they sold over 12 mil copies (IIRC).

Over 14 mil till this day.

[vital umbra]

yeah, lightning in a bottle

which is why its sad and confusing to me they won't try and go for like a 2.0 update or anything like that or a sequel or dlc or expansion or ANYTHING like...

[tacit crystal]

The game has always meant to have an end.

[steel mica]

That would just be locking people out again

[spark dew]

im aware, they also prioritized porting it over to other platforms

[vital umbra]

man.

taleworlds, they are known for mount and blade, they make mount and blade content, and thats it, its ongoing, i look forward to the installments and to dlcs.

imagine if they just stopped because they didn't feel like it anymore.

[upper path]

Someone want to start a world?

[spark dew]

the counter to this is plenty of funding to add more features!

[vital umbra]

made some random unrelated game

[short gale]

Im going to the ashlands yo

[vital umbra]

if the far cry series ever stops too, i would be sad.

if iron gate made a fully unrelated game i'm not going to play it i'm almost certain about that, not out of spite but because THIS product is what i am interested in

[steel mica]

You can try playing with folks in #1024264966712340510

[short gale]

Well i made it and died instantly great

[vital umbra]

thank god for modders in the entire gaming community, saving games from various developers strange decision making 🥴

[upper path]

ok

[short gale]

Now all my shits there and I gotta sail all the way back f my life

[steel mica]

What happened ?

[short gale]

Three vultures broke my bubble as I was fumbling to get my frost shooter out and I died in three seconds of land fall no joke

[steel mica]

Ah ashlands

Make preparation dont go in all willy nilly

[tacit crystal]

Ember staff is still strong in Ashlands.

If you go mage.

[short gale]

I did have the eitr weave set tho so that probably didnt help. probably need the carpace on my first go with a food instead of stam

[tacit crystal]

You could leave a backup portal on top of any of those spires near shore.

[rare lichen]

You havent lived until you die from your own jump cause you forget you arent wearing a feather cape anymore 😉
True ashlands mastery right there

I love the deaths that put a grin on my face

[night axle]

Howdy

I started recently a new playthrough long after call to arms and I see the powers were reworked. Is bonemasses still good to help in the mountains biome?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, still useful, even after resistances were nerfed bit to grant slight resistances (from 50% to 25%). It also has block related bonuses now.

[vital umbra]

also game needs throwing weapons

[night axle]

Does it count using a round shield? My fighting style is parrying mostly

[night axle]

https://tenor.com/view/throwing-a-spear-goliath-house-of-david-spear-attack-martyn-ford-gif-741990490574937556

Gif failure! Eitherway, use a spear

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying returns 10 stamina with bonemass active, and the 5 stamina is returned when blocking with anything

[tacit crystal]

Should, I think. I've used other powers more personally.

[vital umbra]

javelins i mean

and especially throwing axes

[nocturne wolf]

Throwing rockies?

[steel mica]

Pro-tip dont rush howling caveerns lol

[night axle]

Do i need anything from there? I prefer heavy set armor and cant recall if the caverns had anything good there

[undone tangle]

Ready to create my first base. Where is a great area to build?

[vital umbra]

fenris armour which is light

[nocturne wolf]

They can also get you a fist weapon

[vital umbra]

the jute is nice decoration

[night axle]

So nothing for me. Wasnt the boss location revealed there

[spark dew]

are the queen fragments supposed to be impossible to find. 1/7 ruins so far had it

[vital umbra]

can be

[vital umbra]

replying to this dude

[vital umbra]

i explored the entirety of mistlands on one side of the map for it

[steel mica]

Just bad rng

[night axle]

I defeated bonemass just now and I got invaded only 3 times

[spark dew]

that rng is terrible, seems like you could have a world without all 9

[tacit crystal]

Vegvisir for Moder can be found in frost caves or ruined stone towers on mountain surface.

[night axle]

Nice! Might still explore the caverns for some loot for the merchants

Still gotta firstly mine more iron to stock up before going for the mountains

[tacit crystal]

Frost caves are one of my favorite dungeons in game. Not only for the loot and mats for one of my favorite armor sets and pair of weapons but also the aesthetics and enemies are cool.

[light moat]

And the music!

[proper sundial]

well only frost cave and crypts are sophisticated. everithign else is just some hole

[tacit crystal]

You could also make one piece of Fenris armor and rest keep heavy for bit more movement speed and still good armor rate. Fenris coat alone grants +3% ms and frost resistance.

[night axle]

I have a soft spot in my soul for the burial chambers. It is where the valheim-ing started for me

[light moat]

Burial chambers? Infested mines? 🤔

[proper sundial]

ha youre right 😄 I forgot those 2. seems its my bed time lmao

[night axle]

Will try, though I will have to keep my sanity as I am surely going to be bombarded by drakes as soon as I step in

Or chased by a 2 stars wolf... ah memories

[tacit crystal]

Ahh, some people like to live dangerously and go by night.

[night axle]

I did that once, a big bad wolf (man) smelled my fear

[steel mica]

I just realize

I killed gierhaffa for no reason and I'm gonna get raided soon

[night axle]

Gierhaffa?

[steel mica]

You'll find out what that is

[tacit crystal]

If you didn't ||return the chest|| the raid won't trigger.

[steel mica]

Noted

I havent I just killed him just now

[tacit crystal]

It's one kind of ||miniboss||.

[night axle]

Still surprised that I wasnt raided more

So far only got invaded like 3 times

Once by greybeards, then trolls and one time early by meadows raid

[tacit crystal]

It's basically 20% chance every 43 minutes for random raid to trigger. So

[tacit crystal]

Greybeards huh? Did they FUS RO DAH?
-# ||Kidding. ||

[night axle]

I mistook the name, I shall perish for this dishonour

Jk, I had the game set in my home language for a bit cuz the translation is really funny to me

So i forgor the correct english name

[tacit crystal]

Ah, fair enough, they're greydwarves.

[night axle]

Sometimes I wish that if the enemy of a biome would see you wearing armor from the next biome they would leave you alone

Somekind of "lets not mess with that guy"

And if u wanna farm them for drops u still have to use the older sets

[rare lichen]

Thats a cool idea 🙂

[short gale]

God wish me luck Im going back in to the ashes

My god Im alive

[severe juniper]

what was that small update

deep norht prep? o.o

[lethal imp]

Valheim

[quiet spade]

why the fuck does it take so damn long to tame a lox'

[abstract warren]

I swear I had some bear trophies in my tophies chest

Wtf

[ashen sierra]

hey guys has anyone been having trouble with fishing

ive been trying to fish but it doesnt seem to be working

idk maybe im not doing it right? i did just come back from like a 6 month break

[hasty citrus]

are there fist weapons for late game?

also anyone else feel like cuz different areas have enemies with different weaknesses and you are making new weapons anyway you HAVE to choose accordingly so you can never stick with stuff you like

[clear brook]

Yes and no, but also I am playing w/ a party of 3 and some of them make up for the lack of damage type. For a solo run I can see that becoming an issue.

[dark coyote]

yeah I would nerf the resistances/weaknesses across the board

[abstract warren]

First Draugr raid on my base. Everything left untouched except for my boars lol

[abstract warren]

Nope. So far my atgeir+axe combo works pretty well
