valheim-chat

[tacit crystal]

We have to be patient. Good quality comes with time.

[broken mica]

true

[long peak]

btw did devs said anything about how long they keep adding new content after 1.0 i know they said they gonna revisit old biomes but how long ?

i hope as long as the whole 1.0 development that would be nice for us 😛

[tacit crystal]

They've only stated bug fixes and possible minor content, but no timelines.

[long peak]

🥹

[tacit crystal]

About that we might get more info after 1.0.

[long peak]

i dont want the game stop getting updates

:/

[tacit crystal]

Valheim doesn't get abandoned after 1.0, no worries. Deep North will be the last update progression vise, but any minor content in older biomes is possibility they've stated they might want to add.

In some interviews at least.

[long peak]

i hope they add more quest weapons like the ||The Dyrnwyn||

[night axle]

I think they want to add something new to each biome

[steel mica]

Is optimization and quality of life updates in mind aswell?

[tacit crystal]

Optimization would fall into bug fix category, or together as bug fixes and optimizing.
QoL probably depends on what devs count as such in Valheim.

[steel mica]

Noted

[tacit crystal]

But we will see in the future.

[steel mica]

Im hoping more on optimization because my brother's gaming laptop can barely handle the bases I build

QoL update aint too bad aswell

[lunar sapphire]

😢

[tacit crystal]

Haven't seen memes about you.

[gray sand]

It is not an MMO. It's going to have a defined ending, get a couple polish rounds, and then be done.

[long peak]

no not like more biomes
just more side quest/structeres/mini bosses/foods/etc.

[gray sand]

Possible, but not infinite. Would daresay not even extended. They're going to push 1.0 then probably have a meeting about "what did we not get to that we want to add?" And once they get through that list they will be done updating forever and moving on to another project.

Not sure how that is sad?

[steel mica]

@tacit crystal NOPE I STILL GET THE RAID

[gray sand]

Forced continual updates is what turns great games into shit games.

[steel mica]

You get the chills Geirhaffa raid

[long peak]

yeah yeah alright i know

just me being greedy

[tacit crystal]

And didn't return the chest?

[steel mica]

Nope the chest I left at the entrance of the cave

Oops wrong ping

@tacit crystal

[long peak]

np

[tacit crystal]

Odd, I've never gotten them by doing that.

[steel mica]

I believe the triggerpoint is either you taking the chest or defeating gierhaffa

[paper marsh]

I think it should only be on kill / chest possession if you have player based raids on

[long peak]

uhm i have guess but not sure tho because i didnt use world modifier as far as i know triggerpoint was returning the chest in that world but maybe if the player based raids option is enabled that can be the cause if you have before

[glossy heath]

right, i keep forgetting sliders are a thing and some mechanics no longer have one singular way they can work 😅
shoulda added that

[limber yarrow]

Hey Valheim and people who ever made this you are an absolute giga chad!

https://youtube.com/shorts/Nc1A1MHT5K8?si=kFkdLzkv41LFk3mT

[thorny quiver]

Good morning vikings

[steel mica]

I have player base raids on

[nocturne wolf]

The slider is for enabling/disabling raids. 'Player based raids' makes raid progression change per player instead of for the whole world so it changes some of the triggers.

[rugged mango]

My friends stopped playing because of Mistlands, any recommendations?

[steel mica]

Ah I see

Ok it does make sense

[snow aurora]

so if I enter a newbie world with player based raid turned off, they get endgame raids too?

[nocturne wolf]

Only if you activate the triggers on their world. If you don't kill any bosses or return hildir's chests, nothing will change.

[snow aurora]

i see

[snow aurora]

would it be considered a trigger if I were to hang an endgame boss trophy in an early game world

[nocturne wolf]

No, only killing the boss changes raids. I wouldn't recommend doing it though because we don't know if beating the game when 1.0 releases will only need the trophies placed or if the bosses need to be killed in that world. If it only needs the trophies, a player could skip that boss if the trophy is already placed by someone else.

[candid basalt]

Mistlands is so pretty tho #screenshots message

[loud surge]

afternoon gjall

i think i should delete a couple messages i sent after i read the rules

[rugged mango]

pretty annoying ye

[candid basalt]

Getting prepared with plenty of wisps and there are areas mist free. I love the mistlands

[snow aurora]

ash gonna be far more annoying where everything can oneshot you

[nocturne wolf]

everything?

[lunar sapphire]

Everything that can have a 2star fragrance sure

[steel mica]

Craft them the mistlands cape

Will probably make them return

I understand the struggles on mistlands, been there too

But over time you get used to it

[snow aurora]

the weakest mob does what 30 dmg? the charred twitchers. 0 star warriors do over 100

[lunar sapphire]

Ashlands - They do the damage, you do the dying

[steel mica]

The reward, endgame tools

[tacit crystal]

@merry pebble Found an interesting seed. 🌱

[lunar sapphire]

*pre endgame tools 😛

[steel mica]

And maybe an 2** asksvin aswell

[steel mica]

We still have deep north to conquer lads

[snow aurora]

i hate how it knocks me several meters away

[tacit crystal]

It has the Polaris mountain which is not inside Deep North area, highest peak shows 496. 🏔️

[lunar sapphire]

Missed opportunity to ping Winter

[lucid birch]

@tacit crystal https://medal.tv/games/valheim/clips/lR3svCQex7qSoyRMX

[tacit crystal]

@glossy heath @merry pebble

[steel mica]

They're not too hard to capture, hardest part is finding them at night which is already pretty rare and dealing with the assault of mobs chasing you

[nocturne wolf]

The bite has 50 knockback, the headbutt has 200 and the pounce has 100

[lunar sapphire]

Why chase when wait for player to run out of stamina?

#evolution

[odd flare]

Got raided while fighting the elder, made it so much more fun. Hope these swamp biomes are big enough so I don't have to search for another

[steel mica]

Their lunge attacks are very deadly for closing the distance

And can probably even 1 shot a maxed out flametal gear player

[odd flare]

How do you see altitude?

[lunar sapphire]

I've more-or-less learned the brief windows where you can attack them before they launch an attack

[steel mica]

Maybe 2 shot

[glossy heath]

yea i think that does beat my record!

[glossy heath]

the pos command shows you your current coordinates

[tacit crystal]

Enable Y coordinate in settings.

[glossy heath]

numbers are in meters, but if you wanna measure mountains like people do irl, you'll wanna subtract 30 from the height since 0 is the bottom of the ocean and 30 is sea level

[lunar sapphire]

We can has pic of highest mountain?

[tacit crystal]

Also it's at the border of Deep North, not inside.

[glossy heath]

and personally, i exclude rocks and trees from height measuring, i make sure my character is standing on the highest bit of heightmap terrain, even if there's a rock going higher

[glossy heath]

polaris below deep north is always a nice sight~
especially now that it has to be either fully within deep north or fully outside of it to avoid being chopped down by the newly added ocean trench separating deep north from the rest of the world

[merry pebble]

-# To clarify, Joel is refering to the website you can input your seeds into and Winter Is refering to a command you can use in-game.

[glossy heath]

oh wait the site shows you the Y coordinate too? i thought it was just X and Z

[lunar sapphire]

and Subject is just wanting a screenshot D:

[merry pebble]

You have to enable that one like Joel said 😄

[glossy heath]

oh that's why

[glossy heath]

i'm a slow reader 😅

slow reader, fast yapper

[merry pebble]

Hehe, i read kinda fast but that leads to missreading more often than not xD

[lunar sapphire]

Would y'all say the sky boar farm design is "essential" to make?

[odd flare]

Thank you. I don't want to see my map, and I'm not using commands. I have a mountain that's tall as can be and massive on my starter island, so I guess I'll never know lol

[tacit crystal]

Took one from the site, showing coordinates of the peak.

[glossy heath]

i read slow and bad, so i misread a lot too

[lunar sapphire]

it does bypass the entities per metre limit

[glossy heath]

i've never made it, don't see the problem with breeding animals the intended way

[lunar sapphire]

fair, I suppose I'll have to be here for a while waiting for offspring to slaughter 👀

[merry pebble]

Can you share the seed @tacit crystal ?
-# Or did you already and i am just blind? xD

[glossy heath]

it's in the screenshot haha

[lunar sapphire]

HsYKEB2MG3

[nocturne wolf]

seems like the map viewer doesn't subtract 30m for sea level

[glossy heath]

assumed so, if it did that'd mean that this one beat my record by more than 30 heckin meters, which would've been some insane height variation

[merry pebble]

Oh, I AM blind! XD

[lunar sapphire]

Should've gone to Specsavers

[merry pebble]

Fortunately i have just slightly bad far-sight in right eye XD
Not seeing stuff here is just me not paying attention mostly

[tacit crystal]

Got other seed of the same world frame so I wanted to randomise on same frame until I found seed with over 490 peak and started new world in it.
-# To clarify, only looked the map by zooming at the mountain and looking at the height of the peak, nothing else in the world.

[merry pebble]

I do quite like the roundness of the spawn island

And the closest island to that is pretty much only black forest with a mountain and one meadow clearing

[glossy heath]

i'm over here with the most insane spawn island shape imaginable

big heckin island, many pretty spots, nightmare to navigate with a ship

[candid basalt]

You always need more iron. Therefore more swamps

[tacit crystal]

So far only small areas of black forest found in the starter island.
But 4 bears have fallen already in those areas lol.

[tacit crystal]

Is it the same Sev uses?

[glossy heath]

kMTq28lMJ8, my favourite seed~

[merry pebble]

Oh, wait, did you check the seed in detail before playing? I wouldnt want to spoil it too much

[tacit crystal]

Didn't, but no worries.

[lunar sapphire]

In an imitation of an AI response, please explain in 600 words how one punches drakes.

[merry pebble]

Zipping it right now 🤐 😄

[merry pebble]

Now i am tempted to really just go to one of the chat bots and ask that... xD

[tacit crystal]

Ah it is the seed Sev uses.

[lunar sapphire]

typical

[glossy heath]

double checked, yea polaris on that seed is only Y 485 at the peak, 11 meters below yours~
and i believe this was the tallest instance of polaris i previously knew of

-# good to see the trench hasn't harmed it though, 485 sounds familiar

[tacit crystal]

Didn't that one have the other highest mountain too?

[lunar sapphire]

Are there any low geographical poi's that are worth noting or is it more just mountains?

[glossy heath]

yepp, the hook, the second-tallest mountain is in the far bottom left.
this world is in one of the very few positions where you can have both mountains at once without either of them being too cut off by their positions, since they're very far apart

[lunar sapphire]

I suppose not if 0 is ocean

[glossy heath]

what do you mean

[lunar sapphire]

My head was thinking of irl, you have everest then you have marianas trench

but nothing comes to mind in Valheim

[glossy heath]

(should add though, the hook has two peaks, and i think the taller one of the two did have some height scraped off of it by the ashlands update because it's just slightly too close to that crescent)

[tacit crystal]

I had searched a seed with Polaris mountain that is not inside Deep North area for long time, so it's quite neat find.

[glossy heath]

in my main world, i already have most of the hook generated, so the back half of it has all of its rocks now floating a few meters off the ground

[tacit crystal]

You have an opportunity to build some sky buildings there.

[lunar sapphire]

For free?

[glossy heath]

i've already decided to follow my passion and do something else with that :>

[lunar sapphire]

"I found every rune lore stone so I resided on the world's tallest mountain"?

[glossy heath]

blasphemy, heresy, ||temporarily lightly modding the game to terraform that side of the mountain because i'm really into environmental design in video games, but doing it in such a way that it doesn't depend on a modded client at all - using only vanilla assets. i already did that with the front half of the mountain, this is just giving me an excuse to do it with the back as well||

[lunar sapphire]

Witchcraft

[tacit crystal]

🧙‍♀️ ⌛ ?

[merry pebble]

Too early...

[glossy heath]

that said, i will wait until they fix the goddamn dirt lines at the chunk edges before i enter that world again, it's been over a year, how is this still a thing

[tacit crystal]

True.

[lunar sapphire]

That is the "cleanse" symbol

careful young one

[cedar wolf]

When new update?

[solemn hawk]

first time ever finding a crypt that genuinely didnt have a single scrap iron or anything

that sucks bro it took me forever to find ts

[nocturne wolf]

when new update ready

[cedar wolf]

When new update ready?

[tacit crystal]

That we don't know.

[lunar sapphire]

-# When people use their manners

[solemn hawk]

why can crypts genuinely spawn with nothing in them bro 😭

[cedar wolf]

/update_ready

[lunar sapphire]

[solemn hawk]

nah but DAMN

genuinely all 3 paths cut off at their entry

i searched for 3 hours for this one crypt

[glossy heath]

it's such a low chance that implementing some measure to prevent it from happening at all might be considered wasted effort
still sucks when it does happen, but i think i've only had it happen to me twice in all my time with the game

[solemn hawk]

yeah but dang it sucks when i spent 3 hours searching for one crypt

just for it to have NOTHING

[lunar sapphire]

The meme "Literally unplayable" comes to mind 😄

[glossy heath]

bad luck combined with more bad luck in a different area 😅 🫂

[solemn hawk]

me and my friend went through 8 different swamps

because 7/8 of them didnt have a single one

the one we did find aint even got a crypt really 😭

[glossy heath]

and it was just one crypt in that 8th swamp? layer cake of "ooffff"

[solemn hawk]

YEAH LOL

all these swamps me and my friend have found in this seed have been so little

[tacit crystal]

Oh this? #memes-and-clips message

[lunar sapphire]

[solemn hawk]

i wish there was a way to implement some sort of varnish for wood so it wouldnt deteriorate outside without a roof

[swift garnet]

I was lucky to get a maypole on the starter island and the first swamp I went to had plenty of iron, almost 3 chests, and Haldor next to it. but I refuse to check the seed viewer but someone else might wanna look it up

[lunar sapphire]

There is in a way. Later on though

[odd flare]

It gets damaged but can't break due to weather right?

[nocturne wolf]

Water can only damage pieces to 50%

[solemn hawk]

the green is ugly as hell though

[glossy heath]

i just embrace the rotted appearance and purposefully damage adjacent protected stuff to match the look~
rain/water damage never goes below 50% health so it's only cosmetic

[odd flare]

Yeah I thought I read that

[glossy heath]

then i damage a couple pieces here and there to 25% to add some model variation

i like when stuff looks like it wasn't just built yesterday haha

[solemn hawk]

i like my stuff looking clean and fresh

its just the upkeep needed after a rainy day is ROUGH

[glossy heath]

that is fair, i may be a little weird about my love for literal ruins

[tacit crystal]

For me it's acceptable on harbor.

[solemn hawk]

yeah it really just depends on location if im fine with it deteriorating or not

[lunar sapphire]

The word harbor has me thinking whether I'm playing black flag on ps3 tomorrow

[tacit crystal]

Ah, maybe pier is more what I was meaning.

[lunar sapphire]

-# I love that! I would however direct you 1 channel above for posting this

[lost remnant]

Gotcha, thanks!

[steel mica]

What could be the new wood material we get in deep north?

My guess is something like spruce

[pliant hatch]

If they follow the logic they used in the Ashlands (ash wood), it may be something like Ice wood or Frozen wood. But then, with that logic it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was called "North wood".

[steel mica]

They are from the deep north

[long peak]

i wish there was a world modifier to close it maybe they add later at least there is mods for it

[odd flare]

Yeah you're not wrong. I fix my stairs to my dock every like 30 minutes lmao

[pliant hatch]

Replace them for stone stairs.
Problem solved.
Can later replace them for Black Marble ones or even Grausten ones as well.

[solemn hawk]

stone stairs dont fit my log cabins vibe

[pliant hatch]

iirc all log cabins had a stone foundation to prevent moist transferring from the ground into the logs.
iirc they also have a chimney made of stone to prevent the cabin to be set ablaze when trying to cook food.

Therefore stone stairs at a docks are quite valid.

[lucid birch]

are there bigger chests than those 5x2 or w.e it is

[foggy glacier]

Yes.

[ripe quiver]

when the deep north comes out does our saves get overwritten

[foggy glacier]

No, you can use your existing character and world. Keep in mind that any already generated areas won't get the full update though, so stay away from the north.

[pliant hatch]

Fortunately that only applies to people who think it's smart to make comments like that at the official Valheim discord.

Which means the reaquiring is currently done by one person.

I wonder who that may be..... 🤔

The problem with "jokes" like that is they can be misunderstood. Either because a person doesn't understand that kind of "humor" or because of a language barrier.

So it's simply the smartest thing to do to not make jokes like that.
Because not everyone will see the joke and in the end it's Iron Gate that ends up with the problems, because it's very easy to have a rumor going around about "IG forcing you to rebuy the game once 1.0 launches".

It's a lot harder to get that rumor being countered, as for some stupid reason the negative things will always surface first when questions like that being asked.

[tough crater]

Omg nvm

😑

[silk wedge]

some of the people here would make a reddit mod blush, lol

[pliant hatch]

And just for a reference: Just check the internet for "do trolls in the black forrest smell the player."

[ripe quiver]

Damn it’s too expensive for me

[fossil delta]

Isn't the price of Valheim going to go up after 1.0? IE once its no longer Early Access.

[pliant hatch]

I haven't seen anything about that, so why would it?

[wet wolf]

slightly

[tough crater]

The pumpkin that hunts

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure I did see it said years ago. Plus, why should it not? IT will finally be a full, complete, game.

[deft gate]

They deserve extra $ for all the work they have done. This game is so different than it was a couple year ago

[silk wedge]

pretty common for early access games to be discounted, and vice-versa early access games increasing in price upon full release

[fossil delta]

Valheim is the first EA game I ever bought. Just I am also pretty certain I saw one of the developers say the price would increase after it was finished.

[pliant hatch]

Source?

[marble sable]

Why doesnt f1 work to edit render limits with the render limits mod

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure it was here in this Discord. Just it would have been before the crash, or whatever its called.

[wet wolf]

the steam page says it

[fossil delta]

#mods-discussion

[fossil delta]

Oh? Which part of the page? (I have a hard time reading it due to vision issues)

[near furnace]

you will be able to play just like before

[near furnace]

I I think we have said the price might go up after 1.0. but it will remain to see

[fossil delta]

It should, Its a fine game and is certainly worth more than we are currently charged.

[pliant hatch]

Found it under the EA description. Just a single line that's very easily overlooked.

Which is why I hadn't seen it.

[fossil delta]

I wouldn't have seen it there. I am still pretty sure it was said here. Before the hack, crash, whatever.

[pliant hatch]

Well, I got here after that, so even if it was on here I wouldn't have seen it anyway. Most likely.

[fossil delta]

I 've been on here since early 2021. Even though I did leave for a while after the hack.

[tacit crystal]

Tested and noted: 1 star bear can be fought quite easily on melee with meadows tier gear, but it takes long. As long as parrying only one paw swipes and dodging other attacks everything is fine.

[fossil delta]

Dodging does make it easier. Since I only use block and tower shields I have to wait to safely fight starred bears. Or trolls.

[tacit crystal]

I've encountered no trolls in this world I started yesterday, but at least 8 bears (one was starred).

Starter island had only small patches of black forest, only one location had blueberries so took long before getting first bear armor pieces.

[fossil delta]

I do run into a lot more bears than trolls. Think I am on my 4th world since the bears were added.

[tacit crystal]

Bears have rare spawn frequency and trolls very rare. Although trolls have dedicated spawn locations near and/or inside the troll caves.

[fossil delta]

Even so you can find empty troll caves. Not often, by any means, but I have gone into empty troll caves. I think they all still had loot, though.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, not all caves have them.

[fossil delta]

I see so many I would not describe their frequency as rare. Maybe uncommon, because they are no where near as frequent as the various dwarves.

I've had locations that respawn bears seemingly every time I turn around as well. Not in actuality, but within 20 minutes or so.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, in that area (inside black circle) I fought 4 bears in short time.

[long peak]

agreed the base in my call to arms update world has 3 different bear spawn points just next to my defansive walls they spawn a lot

and of them is a star bear always it was funny tho

[fossil delta]

The locations have varied. One time it was by a specific house, another it was by one of the stones held up by the other stones, and you typically find bones under. Then I would go many, many days without seeing any bears at any of those locations. So I guess it was just exceptionally good RNG for a few game days, then really bad RNG. 😄

[long peak]

i know game has a few different spawn systems like one time only or if it killed in a few days respawning ones

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure it has only one spawn system. It just comes down to how much chance is going to favor you.

IE luck.

[long peak]

no i know some things can spawn one time only for example mini bosses

[pliant hatch]

They can spawn in an event, though.

So I s'pose you mean they won't respawn at the location they're in after you cleared it out.

[long peak]

yeah yes

[fossil delta]

Those have events where you see them again, and again, and again. So you can get many copies of their trophies.

[long peak]

yeah i know that

[fossil delta]

I kind of figured you did, since you have over 1000 hours.

[long peak]

i want a 1000 hours more

[fossil delta]

Like I mentioned in help, I am over 5200 hours. So if you want it, you will get there.

[long peak]

Thats the sprit 😄 are you planing to have 10 K XD

[fossil delta]

Very probable. I mean, we aren't even at 1.0 yet.

[tacit crystal]

Slowly climbing at that, just reached 3400 yesterday.

[fossil delta]

Then, at some point after 1.0, I will start using mods, and there are a few cool mods that will have me replaying this a fair number of times as well.

[long peak]

man i think you will pass 15K too

[tacit crystal]

Heh, fun scenario when having that much hours and if 1.0 adds some very basic achievements like "craft a workbench" or "die to a tree".

[long peak]

😄 i want a lot of achivements i hope they will

[fossil delta]

I don't think thats impossible. I do really enjoy this game, and a new world every time I play helps a lot as well.

[tacit crystal]

-# Point was unlocking such achievements after playing that much beforehand.

[long peak]

i have stoped 1300 hours because of working in a job and studying for university killed my free time a bit but i am sure my return will be at least a 500 hundred hours 😄

[fossil delta]

Personally I don't care about achievements, even though I do tend to unlock the vast majority of them in games that have them. Just its easy to do in games you like playing anyways.

[long peak]

i love hunting achivements and valheim becamed my favorite game wanna put it in my completionist showcase

🥹

[storm plaza]

achievements are the biggest scam, but to each thier own.

[echo wind]

And conversely, organizing the biggest scam is quite the achievement

[long peak]

i didnt quite understand to be honest

[vestal dagger]

do we have an estimated time for the deep north update? is it this year?

[lone rampart]

We do not

[tacit crystal]

We don't have definite info about it.

[vestal dagger]

okey! they are doing a very good job so when its comes it will be amazing

just hopw that its not as difficult as ash lands xD i cannot get through it. do we have any tips and tricks for it xD

[long peak]

as i remember there was a spill video that they said deepnorth not gonna be harder nearly a equal to ashlands

[tacit crystal]

It will definitely be hard but not as dense of spawning mobs according to devs... There are many tricks, what are you using currently?

Equipment, foods etc.

[vestal dagger]

we had the staff and mjölnir and top of the line mistland food

it was a while ago but the density of mobs made it impossible

[long peak]

one of the best advice would be put spawn proffing structures around would help

[vestal dagger]

would fireplaces work for that

hmm maybe just run in and spam them in a big radius

[long peak]

1 star askvins that jump on you was such a nightmare greatfully they smalled their groups

[long peak]

funny enough using light armor and running and not fighting was the my savior in ashlands

i have been finding|| castles and raiding them and looting the blackmetal from there directly|| spoiler

[vestal dagger]

morgen is chaos might be the next thing. just keep the armor from the mountains

havent been in thosoe structures yet 😛

[long peak]

funny enough root chestplate making morgens vultures archers valkrys a joke

i am usulay putting it in swamp and never removing it except the Yagluth fight

[vestal dagger]

hmm isnt there a combo armour setup you can use to be practically imortal

[long peak]

no never using root chest making you a chewing toy for the askvins

[long peak]

but there is a youtube channel that explains why root chestplate is op as hell

[vestal dagger]

gotta check that out then!

[long peak]

Tossacoint like thing iw was

[vestal dagger]

thanks!

[long peak]

let me check not sure

[long peak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zjxs4t2Q7s

this there is few other videos i have started to use root armor after mistlands update seeing this mans clip in reddit since than its a only way go for me

[vestal dagger]

ill check it out! thank you!

[tacit crystal]

Quite lucky start: even though that island is small, I encountered two 2 star boars (other I tamed, other killed) and went rafting a bit and found first leviathan, so I have now 2 quality abyssal razor.

[long peak]

holy moly

[lone rampart]

I love the layout of your starting island. It's like a pokéball! 🤣

[vestal dagger]

do we have any awesome cool seeds btw

[upbeat sail]

Hi guys, i've been farming silver and got my first two stacks smelted, cuz it's hard to get i tried to google what to craft in stead of just trying out everything.

Everyone online is gushing about the draugr fang, is it really that good? I have a lvl 4 huntsmans bow that seems to outdamage it

[oblique zinc]

Fang adds poison damage. In general every new weapon from the next biome is eventually better but also a lot depends on the skill level

[upbeat sail]

I see that but it's 2-4, i assume it goes up with upgrades but it doesn't seem THAT great on paper

[digital kindle]

whats different about it

[fossil delta]

My biggest problem with Fang is aiming with it. Its brightness can interfere, especially if you already have vision issues.

[upbeat sail]

haha is it that shiny then?

[fossil delta]

It is.

Glows, actually.

[upbeat sail]

Okay I can appreciate that

[fossil delta]

Aside from that it only does slightly more damage. but i find it worth crafting and adjusting to using.

The actual big difference is the Huntsman is quieter. So draws less aggro in an area.

[long peak]

man silver was the second easiest metal to farm if you ask me are you digging its around before you breake the ore ?

[upbeat sail]

Allright I guess I'll get it but I'll get the rest first

[upbeat sail]

My problem is the stupid wolves :L they are so annoying

[long peak]

whic gears and food are you using ?

[fossil delta]

So the Huntsman can be better in certain situations where you may not want to aggro more than necessary.

[upbeat sail]

they are fast and two shot me even with upgraded iron armor, and every time I step foot in the snow it's "Youre being hunted, loser"

[long peak]

btw i am quite profesional about skipping metal gears i usualy wont craft any heavy armor other than helmets

[upbeat sail]

T3 Iron, t4 hutnsman and a t3 great axe. Sausuge, wolf jerky and black soup

[fossil delta]

I use Tower Shields, so with the iron version, wolves are not a problem, unless you go at night and get a 2 star.

[upbeat sail]

also iron arrows but I think i'll do something else soon cuz I depleted my swamp and dont want to find another one atm

[fossil delta]

Your going to need a lot of iron soon anyways.

[long peak]

ahahaha

[upbeat sail]

Yeah I dont mind getting it but im taking a break after a dozen hours of swamp or so haha

[long peak]

man i am quite an expert skipping gears i can definitly say you can skip bow

and only craft 1 silver weapon just for killing the boss

[upbeat sail]

well yeah but i just learned that it glows so i gotta have it now, but maybe last thing I get

[fossil delta]

I just get it over and done with. So keep going until I have made everything and have 2 wood chests left over. I don't make bigger chests until I have black metal.

[long peak]

dont craft metal headed arrows they are waste

[tacit crystal]

You can definitely skip a bow. Regards: someone who used spear as only ranged weapon in one run.

[long peak]

absoloute chad

[long peak]

schwiko if you say i can dodge very well and parry well

[upbeat sail]

I'm pretty okay at dodging (not wolves though) and was planning on trying out a shield

[long peak]

i would recomend chaing your chestplate with Root harnesk and only crafting silver helmet shield and a frostner or knife or sword gonna be enough

[long peak]

dodging wolves one of the hardest dodge its normal

they quite a bit speedy

[upbeat sail]

Okay i'll try that, thanks, I think i got the materials for the root thing

[long peak]

killing abominations is easy

[long peak]

btw what do you use as a weapon

[upbeat sail]

battle axe (and huntsman)

but tbh not sure if I like it, the - movespeed and stamina use is brutal

although it feels good to smack mobs with it

[long peak]

man battleaxes are the hardest weapon but my favorite 🥹

[long peak]

is it your first play ?

[upbeat sail]

I've gotten to the swamp like 2-3 times and usually got distracted by a different game or irl things, this is the first time I got beyond swamp

I got cocky so im playing on hard too haha, im loving the challenge tbh but the mountain is kicking my ass a bit

[long peak]

i can definitly asure that if you use anything else as a weapon game gonna be easier

[long peak]

man you deserve to suffer than ahahaha

[upbeat sail]

Yeah haha maybe

[long peak]

valheim hard mode is not like other games

[upbeat sail]

I'll make a frostner and a shield from this silver then

[long peak]

because game is balanced so tight in normal difficulty any little change making the game drasticaly change

[long peak]

if you want you can skip all of them btw

but it will be harder to survive in plains

frostner is a excelent choice

[upbeat sail]

Yeah it's a little hard sometimes especially the elite draugrs with the bows but it's also fun, the wolves just felt unfair but maybe it's a me + battle axe issue then haha

[upbeat sail]

Okay just made it 😄

ty for all the advice mate

[long peak]

i hope you can finish aslands with hard difficulty first try

good luck man you are cooked

[upbeat sail]

Hahaha perhaps, can't wait to get there but i think its a long way still

[long peak]

i recomend dont rush i thing its not gonna be fun for your hard run 😛

https://youtu.be/RnkFQ-Xhhcw?si=D_Yu1uoFuCgGQ59E first time swamp experience

[upbeat sail]

yeah that seems about right 😄

[oblique zinc]

Great example of how to manage stamina

[empty dagger]

I hope Valheim updates soon

[steel mica]

Not just stamina management, using the enviroment and target priority

that draugr could have killed him

[oblique zinc]

I thought the end was nigh when oozer showed up

[dusk reef]

the mosquito

[steel mica]

Just swat it

as it b-lines toward you

[dusk reef]

my timing is like a slot with a stick

[steel mica]

Fair enough lol

You'll get used to them to the point you can just time your swing

[paper marsh]

Use a bow

[timber marsh]

bruh i just died from fall damage slipping down a mountain...

however i just learned a big hammer takes out all the annoying bats@!

this frost cave is HUGE

[dark coyote]

were you sprinting? you can walk down mountains

[timber marsh]

i was kinda fighting a golem and it chucked me off the side of a cliff...

wow this cave has multiple extra caverns much bigger

[dark coyote]

yup, golem will knock you %$# out, especially the spike gut punch one

I dont fight them, I dig a hole and pull them into it

[steel mica]

HELL NAH

A BLOODY 2** SEEKER SOLDIER

[timber marsh]

THIS CAVE JUST KEEPS GOING

[foggy glacier]

Ain't they scary?

[steel mica]

#screenshots message

[steel mica]

Take my words soldiers are already a pain to deal with because of how tanky they are

But a 2** star?!

Hell no

[foggy glacier]

lol and you're still in silver? brave.

find a high enough rock and shoot his a$$.

[dark coyote]

lol yeah I was like, no lox cape huh?

[steel mica]

I have the krom as you can see

I rushed mistlands

[foggy glacier]

and now you're paying for it:)

[dark coyote]

I mean I wouldnt fight that thing either

[foggy glacier]

nope. I'd just climb up high and shoot him.

[dark coyote]

be there all day, trying to hit its butt, forget it

[foggy glacier]

best thing outta the mountain: frost arrows. can hit him a lot esier when he's slowed.

[steel mica]

Mistlands is managable even with being naked

[steel mica]

I love arbalest cant use frost arrowws

[foggy glacier]

I like arbalest too, but I don't like getting yeeted off my rock when I shoot it.

and there's no way I'm staying at the same level as that guy.

[steel mica]

Im so used to the mistlands I've gotten to the point of going in for early exploration whilst still having weak gear

[timber marsh]

is the lox cape any different than the wolf fur cape?

[foggy glacier]

no. Just less silver to craft it.

[steel mica]

Just different look and a bit cheaper than wolf fur

[timber marsh]

ah, my wolf cape is already maxed out

full padded armor gives me 100

[foggy glacier]

I like the speed from fenris.

[timber marsh]

deliberately have not defeated yagluth yet because were waiting for friends to catch up

[timber marsh]

thats why im in a frost cave rn

[steel mica]

BOI

WE HAVE A TETRA FISH CAVE

[foggy glacier]

Woot!

[steel mica]

YES

d;wajduiawdwa kwlajdaid

cultist trophy finally jesus christ

Ive searched so many frost caves

Wait nooooo its just a frozen lake cave

[timber marsh]

no trophy in here...

alright... time to get revenge on this damn golem

[foggy glacier]

the tetra lakes are so rare it's crazy.

[foggy glacier]

go defeat Geirhaffa if you're ready. the raid gives you extra cultists to your doorstep.

[steel mica]

Its the frozen lake cave

But still quite rare

Free fishing rod

[timber marsh]

we have raids off on the group server 😕

they like to afk and we have people of wildly different level

i guess i could go back to my world

[oblique zinc]

For hot second giraffe 🦒 was showing up with 2 star fenrig .. i think they nerfed it now it's 1 star only

[foggy glacier]

only 1* in the cave. 2* show up in the raid if you get it.

[oblique zinc]

Now it's 1 star in the raid as well. I think thats the best event.

If only they made deathsquito event

[timber marsh]

wow i just critical hit a troll for 500 damage...

[steel mica]

Bats but 100x

[foggy glacier]

That's odd. I've seen 2* fulings and skeletons in the Zil&Thungr and Brenna raids. Can't imagine they only nerfed Geirhaffa.

[short gale]

Got an Xbox ball from a fortress we lit

[timber marsh]

root armor and scale shield they do like zero damage

[oblique zinc]

I was surprised as well. Maybe after day 1000 it's nerfed. Who knows ...

[tepid prawn]

Root chest and scale shield stacking is an odd one, I do like it how it works, but yeah the only one that stacks like that

[mellow shadow]

After braving myself and beating a bunch of bears, I finally got the bear trophy (head) but it's not appearing in the Trophy menu. Can that be a bug?

[foggy glacier]

scroll down. it's at the bottom.

all the new stuff from CtA was added in its own row with the serpent.

[mellow shadow]

Oh, wow! Why is that? Ahhh, got it! Time to delete my bug report! lmao

[steel mica]

Alrighty time to brave yagluth

[hard gale]

Will we have to start a new world when 1.0 comes?

[foggy glacier]

not necessarily. Any areas that have not already been generated will receive the new content. Stay far away from the north and probably leave some other areas unexplored too, just in case, and you should be fine.

[steel mica]

The fulings are a bit easier imo to fight compared to the fenrings

fenrings are fast and have a lunge attack

And 2 spell caster

[foggy glacier]

the lunge has an obvious lead up though, just sidestep.

[steel mica]

The fenrings will be up in your face at all times lol

[oblique zinc]

Better yet when it starts howling run up to it and whack it on the head

[hasty citrus]

1.0 😔

[odd flare]

made me a root mask today. is it worth stacking the potion with the helmet, or just the helmet is fine?

[glossy heath]

resistances don't stack, only the strongest active one applies, but the mead does give a better resistance than the mask (75% vs 50%)
whether or not those 25% are worth it i'd say depends on how fine you are with repeatedly making and packing poison res meads.
personally i skip the mead once i have a mask, unless i'm fighting bonemass

[odd flare]

its pretty annoying not gonna lie

fought for my life for 2 obsidian nodes as soon as i could make the frost mead. not a fun time, but since im in the swamp it was worth it

[burnt glen]

What do you need obsidian for in this case?

[tepid prawn]

To upgrade the workbench early to level 5 which is as high as it goes, which enables max level for troll, root, bear armours etc.

[odd flare]

Needs lvl 5 to make root helmet. This starting island has been so so bountiful and easy to navigate. I'm only a smidge into 1 of the 2 swamps and I've found 7 crypts and 4 aboms. Lured one closer to my base right outside to farm lumber for me for coal lol

It's got a mountain high enough for silver right in the middle, and a plains that looks pretty big. Bosses are all far though

[steel mica]

Abominations are a great alternative, trolls work aswell especially the troll with a log

[dusk reef]

EVERY boss and enemy i found seems to target the deer

[lone rampart]

Deer are just nature's punching bag

[dawn knoll]

Does anyone know of there's any existing testing or data on the timing/hitbox of parrying with various weapons/shields?

[strong dirge]

Question where do I put the key from the tree again the swamp frickin hates me

[lone rampart]

So long as it’s in your inventory, you’ll be able to unlock the ||sunken crypts in the swamp||

[strong dirge]

Thanks

BTW I have died in that swamp at least 10 times so I am getting mad at it

[lone rampart]

Understandably so

[chrome badge]

Stealth is your friend in the Swamp.

[steel mica]

Just punch em in the face
-That one voiceline from a video game

[hasty citrus]

What do you guys think about magic as a whole, ashlands grind, mistlands visability and boss fight, and sailing?

[wet wolf]

they are all good

[hasty citrus]

You have no complaints?

[wet wolf]

no

[tepid prawn]

Magic is awesome, especially in a hybrid build, ashlands grind is a bit short, you can get stuff really quickly, biome should be longer, mistlands visibility when traversing is okay, little extra range could be okay, but also it has the most fun boss I think and hardest in the game, and finding mistfree areas is one of the best things ever in exploration.

Sailing is great, but I would not mind having another new ship for DN, and maybe sail etc customization but sailing mechanics are perfect

[plain bane]

I do not remember this game being so stingey with tar. Dug out 4 pits, had enough for two buildings. Farming the growths from those pits gets me... 8 tar per respawn cycle. 💀

Is there some better way of getting tar I'm not aware of

[heady parcel]

Feels like you can't walk three steps in plains without stepping into a tar pit, in no world I ever played have I ever had any shortage of tar if I needed it. Must be a rough seed - or you just didn't look around enough plains.

[plain bane]

I used find commands to find mine after a week of not finding any tarpits. had two groups of 3, a group of 4, and like, 7 scattered to the wind. Think this seed just had a bad roll.

[heady parcel]

Logically, a buildable tarring fire-pit where you burn corewood to make tar would be a nice thing to get from a later biome, to make it more accessible later on. That's how it was made historically around here anyway..

[plain bane]

Frankly tempted to figure out world upgrade to just reset the things.

[wet wolf]

have you been draining the tar from the tar pits

[toxic pulsar]

when will the update with the far north be released approximately?

[heady parcel]

Nobody knows. Official info will come from the devs, most likely in the #news channel in here and on their website and other social media. Anything you read anywhere else will be speculation at best.

[steel mica]

Deep North will probably be another good way to gather a decent amount of tar since from the looks of the teaser those look like tar roof pieces

[candid basalt]

Our server seemed low on tar until I decided to check out a sealed tower on the map. Soooo many tar pits there it’s like an oil reserve

Had to clear a triple pit so the growths would stop spawning and nuking me as I climbed the tower

[steel mica]

I am encountering a ton of double muddy scrap piles

[merry sun]

Mistlands boss fight is ||cool if you dont cheese it||

[merry sun]

nothing surprising, swamp is by far the biggest jump in difficult of the game

[heady parcel]

Magic - is not my playstyle. I tried and found it underwhelming, frustrating and boring. I'm the kind of player that was smacking kobolds with my staff trying to level a mage in WoW. Just not compatible with magic-wielding.
Ashlands - the grind is no worse than any other place in the game, what makes Ashlands tiring is the relentlessness of the biome, plus the way the environment is torn down around you by its own inhabitants. All put together it gets a bit oppressive when I spend a few days there, so once in Ashlands I tend to take longer breaks from the game or just go somewhere else to regenerate some mojo.
**Mistlands visibility **- it is what gives the biome its name. I have grown very fond of Mistlands, all I'd really want is a way to legit build the dvergr wisp beacons that have a MUCH larger mist-clearing radius than our puny wisplights.
Queen fight - different, scary and fun. It required more strategy and awareness than the ones that came before her, and that she has an actual instanced "boss arena" gave it a special flavour.
Sailing - is one of the best part of the game for me. Now I am an old seaman irl which might have made me biased, but the way the boats interact with waves, how the sea behaves in storms and how some basic sailing tricks are actually doable in-game. I just love it. Can sail around exploring coastlines for hours. I just wish the map-unfogging distance would match what you can actually see. It is frustrating to sail along a coast but on the map it looks as if you crossed an ocean while drunk.

[paper marsh]

Sailing is good

I dislike boss fights where the boss envelops themselves in AoE damage preventing you from fighting them with melee (Bonemass, Yag, Fader), but queen is fine

Ashlands grind is fine, but there’s a bit much inventory clutter and fortresses could have so much cooler designs

Mistlands visibility is very cool, it really makes you rely on your hearing. I usually start mistlands without the wisp light

Magic is fun but ridiculously OP and I really wish it would be taken down a notch

[humble iris]

I have a problem during the game with any character I have. While in the game, if I don't have an item in my hand and press the 'LMB' key, my character starts flying as if something hit them really hard, and they are thrown back about 100-200 meters.

how to fix this

[paper marsh]

What do you think about those things?

[paper marsh]

That sounds very weird. Using any mods?

Best I could say would be verify game files or reinstall but not sure if that would help

[solemn hawk]

i really liked magic cuz being a wizard i think is one of the coolest things, i havent made it to the ashlands yet so idk, mistlands visibility is meh but like it makes sense that a place thats full of mist would be hard to see in, i loved the queen fight but it took me like 30 mins, i love sailing but im deathly afraid of serpents

[cedar stump]

I love having many staves depending on situation, I think my most used one is the wildstaff but my friend im playing with doesnt like it very much when I knockback skele warriors/askvin unto him XD

[weak jewel]

@tepid prawn i cant find birch in the dark forest right?

[glossy heath]

yea birch and oak are found in meadows only (birches are also found in the 5th biome)

shipwrecks can be found pretty much anywhere and drop a bunch of fine wood when broken, but trees are more reliable

[weak jewel]

sigh ill just run back to my base across the island ig

[weak jewel]

yeah but theyre hard to come across

[glossy heath]

yepp, was just saying that in case you happened to be near one you knew of

[weak jewel]

ok but a random question
what am i supposed to do in the swamps? like in the dark forest it was getting bronze and stuff but wb the swamps?(no spoilers if possible)

[glossy heath]

it might become obvious after you've fought the elder

[weak jewel]

i only got a swamp key and idk what that does

[glossy heath]

ah well, it opens a certain important point of interest you're meant to find many of in the swamps, but some swamps end up having not a single one of them

probably just gotta find more swamps, look out for green torches
(though that point of interest isn't the only one with green torches, there are several others with green torches that are useless.)

[weak jewel]

so its somewhat similar to burial chambers but with locks?

[glossy heath]

yepp~

[weak jewel]

i see
what about the food? i was thinking carrot soup bear meat and minced meat sauce tbh

[glossy heath]

-# oh i'm not good for food advice, i eat the 10th realm equivalent of the stuff you find beside the dumpster 😅

[lone rampart]

Keep an eye open for small yellow flowers

[weak jewel]

ouch

[lone rampart]

There’s also some good food that unlocks after defeating some of the swamp denizens

[weak jewel]

i see

well since iam expected to die alot ill build a secondary base near the swamps with a portal and stuff
sounds good?

[lone rampart]

Two words: tree house! 🤩

But yeah a small outpost will serve you well

[glossy heath]

swamp level food requires a level 2 cauldron to be unlocked though, and the first cauldron upgrade isn't discovered as naturally as one might expect, since it requires you to have grown both carrots and the swamps' crop.

[foggy glacier]

just a portal is fine. You can build up in the indestructable trees, or on the tilted ones.

[weak jewel]

i c

[weak jewel]

how am i supposed to make this 😭

wait actually let me watch a vid this is interesting to say the least

[glossy heath]

the bigger trees in the swamps (the ones that don't say "ancient tree" when you aim at them) are completely indestructible, and like all trees, they count as a foundation to buildings
-# edit: oh rudemann already said that oops

[weak jewel]

seems to good to be true butttt ill cosnider it

[glossy heath]

there are several ranged enemies in the swamps so it's not 100% safe but it's as good as it'll get in that biome.

[lone rampart]

Several ranged and one flying

[weak jewel]

ok am getting a little bit of spoilers here

[glossy heath]

-# figured that was too much of a spoiler but i guess the enemy's not that big of a deal 😅

[long peak]

hi

[weak jewel]

well if im going to be surprised/shocked id rather experience the entire 100% of it

[weak jewel]

hello

[long peak]

how is your swamp trip going man ? XD

[weak jewel]

havent started
not yet

because if i do ill spend the entire day grinding

[long peak]

What is wrong scared 😛

[weak jewel]

well yeah because what if my friends wnat me to play sum together

[long peak]

ahhahaha

[weak jewel]

ill probably grind at night

[long peak]

btw we are making jokes about swamp a lot but if you are a bit carefull you could finish swamp with 1 2 even with no deaths i wish you luck

but i have guesses about whic enemies gonna kill you first XD

[glossy heath]

personally i think swamps aren't that hard at all, they just pretty abruptly introduce you to a bunch of concepts the game wants you to keep in mind all at once, without pointing any of them out directly

[long peak]

you are just learning from the hard way 😛

[weak jewel]

well yaeh ive been told these things like it forces you to learn the fundamentals and what not

[long peak]

so i think we can safely say that swamp is not hard
the hard part is completing swamp without even dying once in your first time without looking anything

[long peak]

i think not looking about the things in swamp from the wiki is harder than swamp at this point after all this jokes

[near furnace]

@humble oak did you use the longboat or the Drakkar when you went to ashlands? 🤔

[odd flare]

do withered bones have any use other than bonemass?

[merry pebble]

You use them in one trinket

[tacit crystal]

After Call to Arms, yes.

Trinket that requires surtling trophy.

[odd flare]

so i dont need more then a full stack? im getting so many

[long peak]

you could use them for fun challenges against bonemass like only punch with no armor 😛

[dire terrace]

Lolol don’t be like me and my friend. We died our first time going to the swamp.

We went in blind. Died and died repeatedly trying to get our stuff. Maybe took us3 hrs to finally succeed after making multiple boats 😂

we definitely would have raged quit

But now we laugh about it often

[odd flare]

i dont find the swamp to difficult

but as a veteran souls player, parry is ez....and using the land is nice

the wet sucks though

using stam pots like theyre going out of style

[cedar stump]

mistland was our big struggle at first those gjall aint messing around and we were undergeared abit

[dire terrace]

It’s definitely not.. Upgraded armour definitely makes a difference !

[odd flare]

root helmet left an extra slot for me too

[cedar stump]

ashlands hasnt been all that bad ngl, its just alot of moving around the map tho, now we just bring mats for portals all the time for safety when exploring

[odd flare]

yeah that part. literally drop a portal no matter what im doing

[cedar stump]

and I learned to never feel TOO confident and kinda still play it safe haha especially ashlands you can get overwhelmed with the amounts of ennemies sometimes x) I hate warriors so much man plus they keep resetting and running away

[odd flare]

feel as though i have quite a long time before i hit ash

[weak jewel]

ill surely play itslow

i rememeber first time i went to the dark forest i died three times because i treated it like it was the meadows lol

as long asmysword/bow doesnt tickle the npcs there i"should" be fine

[dire terrace]

Yes.. enjoy the game, enjoy the upgrades and figuring out what you unlocked. No rush to it!

[odd flare]

im really loving mace/shield with the bow...and a knife to run around with

[dire terrace]

lol same.. I saw troll and ran for my life

[lone rampart]

You aren’t supposed to run with knives!

[weak jewel]

i think ill hit the swamp tommorow because ireally hate running around

stamina's too low 💔

[dire terrace]

I started playing since August. But I wished I took my time. There’s a lot of stuff I skipped just to try and get to the next part.

I did enjoy the sailing. 15-30min of just sailing 😂

[cedar stump]

I love sailing I just hate the randoms biome generation sometimes its kinda fucked up

[weak jewel]

yall love sailing?

[cedar stump]

in the middle of the water nowhere near any land and getting frozen from mountain biome and then landing in a random ashlands biome and dying after 1h+ 😄

[weak jewel]

you guys are weird holy

[cedar stump]

we had to take a break for like a couple months after that one

I like sailing its a perfect time to go smoke while my partner sails us around 😂 and serpent meat goooood

[weak jewel]

you mean smoke irl orrr

[cedar stump]

cant smoke in game as far as I know haha

[merry pebble]

Its so relaxing

[glossy heath]

i like taking things slow and relaxing~

[weak jewel]

why are we smoking on the game bro 😭

or just have that thing where you dump the smoke in idk its name

[weak jewel]

well 1 its actually creepy especially when its raining 2 its BORING

or my dopamine recievers might be burnt to ash idk

[merry pebble]

I just love the relaxing atmosphere and music
Its suuuuuuper relaxing for me~

And in rain you have to pay attention, that is true

[weak jewel]

oh wait

the dark forest npcs and the swamp npcs are opps 😭

[weak jewel]

everyone got their own ig

[long peak]

man every time i read your nick i wanna laugh Puncher of drakes the flying viking

[odd flare]

mace pickaxe and buckler are iron lvl 3. is the axe worth upgrading or will a lvl 1 suffice until my next axe?

[glossy heath]

the iron axe can break all the same things as a bronze axe, it's not a necessary upgrade at all

[long peak]

i think silver axe skippeable

[merry pebble]

The only benefit of the iron axe is slightly more dmg. So totally skipable 😄

[long peak]

you dont need it for anything spesific like cutting down a harder tree so iron axe is enough actualy even bronze is enough its totaly optinal

i would recomend upgrade iron axe only if you need more durability or faster wood cutting or you could use 1 lvl iron axe and skip the silver axe totaly

its totaly situational

[glossy heath]

i usually make the mountains' battleaxe just for the damage upgrade over the bronze axe i use up to that point, just because that battleaxe is made of materials that have far less demand than iron

[long peak]

Silver Axe looking sick tho you will see 😄

so i would definitly craft it as a decoration at least justice for battleaxes

[weak jewel]

i dont want to play this game anymore

[long peak]

why ? what happened

[weak jewel]

ermmm

i got jumped like actually

and this thing
the abomination

IS still after me

[odd flare]

bombfire him

[long peak]

jumped by what exactly 😄 there is so

[odd flare]

its so fun lol

[weak jewel]

am still alive though

[long peak]

AHAHAHAHAHA

[weak jewel]

humanoid things with axes that deal 30 damage ahit

[odd flare]

draugr

[long peak]

remember i said i wonder what he gonna experience when he find a abomination

😛

[weak jewel]

Yh

[long peak]

yeah first time is hars but you could parry them if you have a shield parrying and killing them is so effective

and game now takes no stamina when you parry op is hell

[long peak]

what shield are you using ?

[weak jewel]

Parrying then is ez i was just one shot already so i kept dodging

[weak jewel]

Wooden

[cedar stump]

first time I landed in the swamps we had an abomination and multiple draugrs on the coast that wrecked our portal and boat haha

[long peak]

btw i could give you an alternative there is weapons named atgeir you could try them

[long peak]

man why didnt you craft bronze buckler

[long peak]

most players fall in love with this weapon

[long peak]

if you make a bronze buckler and eat 2 health food and a stamina food you can parry abominations just saying

[smoky saddle]

Crazy to think that we were once scared to death of abominations, and now every time one spawns all it takes is a parry and a few hits to knock them down

[long peak]

yeah first time killing a abomination felt like qonquering a country

now killing them for fun with flint axe without armor

[smoky saddle]

I enjoy the fact that this game makes you feel powerful but at the same time one slip up and you could be done for

[cedar stump]

I feel this even more as a mage made of paper when I dont have my bubble up

[weak jewel]

youre implying that not everything is parriable with a wooden shield?

buns game❌

[smoky saddle]

when you walk into a Goblin village and see a three star fuling beserker

[long peak]

this games giant enemies gives you an epic feeling

[weak jewel]

guess what? ionly made a bronze sword to deal with the bears lol i wanted to craft this so bad though

[smoky saddle]

Along with the rest of the army that follows

[long peak]

actualy you can but you have to have very high maximum health and high armour point

[weak jewel]

i see

well ill continue my swamp venture if you can like vc and tell me what u wanna tell me ill be happy to hear it

[long peak]

so the games parry system a bit complex there is few things effect your maximum parry capacity
your shield strength
your armor points
and your Maximum health (not your current health your maximum "health bar")

as in my experience most important ones are having high maximum health and having a strong shield armor is not that important at least i think because i am using light armors usualy

[long peak]

what does vc means ?

[weak jewel]

voice chat

[long peak]

btw if we talk in valheim help i think it would be better

[weak jewel]

alright

[weak jewel]

ill be focused on the game either way

[long peak]

my speaking ability is not so good i could but it would not be efficient

[weak jewel]

what the hell is a wraith 😭

[long peak]

ahahha

[weak jewel]

alright if youd ont wanna its fine

[cedar stump]

I miss encountering a new monster for the first time haha id be yelling on discord everytime I saw a new one xD

[odd flare]

In my hunt for obsidian to conquer the swamp, I found freaking dragons. Thought it was the coolest thing

[pliant hatch]

Something you should avoid. Especially because it's a night creature and going out at night isn't a good idea in this game.

[cedar stump]

At least early in the biome and a wooden shield

[steel mica]

I really hope in the future updates they'll allow you to shoot while on a mount (Context: Yes you can shoot while on a mount but it ejects you immediately upon firing)

[lapis badger]

Okay, apparently, bringing all my stuff with me on exploration tour just to die right on an enemy spawner with enemies that are WAY too strong for me was a bad idea.

Now I gotta forge everything again ^^

[long peak]

permadeath ?

[cedar stump]

I would just rollback a save if you got one near when you died

[lapis badger]

No normal death, but before trying to retrieve all taht I'll just make it again

[long peak]

i think he might be doing a challenge run ?

[long peak]

oh ahahahah

[lapis badger]

Can't roll back I'm on a server. I mean I could but it's fine I guess, teaches me a lesson ^

[paper marsh]

That's cheating though

[long peak]

anyway what is your opinion on trinkets i saw some people say they usuless some say op ?

[cedar stump]

I guess never thought of it that way, rather reload a save then lose tons of times and effort getting my gear.

[tacit crystal]

Some are very useful even for longer time, some might need little adjustments with the amount of adrenaline needed for triggering.

[cedar stump]

No way I was gonna reforge stuff and do 2 hours of boat to get my stuff back last time we died on the way to where Queen was.

[dark coyote]

I think they should all have both a passive and active bonus.

[long peak]

yeah maybe

[odd flare]

the game wont let me place forge bellows for some reason

[nocturne wolf]

They need to be placed closer than other improvements

[odd flare]

ahh okay

need to rearrange

[dark coyote]

I always put it behind the forge for that reason, same with the tanning rack

[long peak]

i saw some players complaining about they cant even activate iron broch how much reality is there i wonder

[tacit crystal]

I use that quite a lot and can constantly trigger it without problems.

[long peak]

like i think if you kill a elite drauger and a abomination i think it would pop

[odd flare]

yeah, i should probably take this thing outside and my workbench down to the 1st floor. took over a stone tower in BF right next to a huge mountain and the huge swamp i been farming

[dark coyote]

great idea, modify the gains by enemy difficulty

[long peak]

but i think some people's waiting to activate it against 2 draugers

[tacit crystal]

They're meant to be more useful in bigger/longer fights, rather than against 1 or 2 mobs occasionally.

[long peak]

and i am feeling like most of them archer players but anyway

[dark coyote]

my issue is if I need the bonus, I need it at the beginning of the fight, not the end, with the exception of health regen maybe

[long peak]

maybe the ones with very high adrenaline cost get a passive buffs but

[tacit crystal]

Staggering and hitting staggered enemies also grant more adrenaline, so 2h weapons like atgeirs and battleaxes are quite optimal for that.

[long peak]

i had to chance to play until mountains after the call to arms update and black forest charms was activating even i am just killing a single bear but i am not sure i maybe playing on hard modifier but not sure

and usualy using bear claws mostly for trying

i was very interested in bracelets of the brave when i first tried the update but didnt had time to try them

[long peak]

i am a mace player mostly thats why

[paper marsh]

Yeah I guess its up to preference. Protip though turn down the death penalty worldmodifier to the minimum

[dark coyote]

same, but parrying is the first thing I do, I dont need that bonus when the fight is almost over, and really I dont need any bonus for single enemy combat, I need help when I'm swarmed or fighting a 2*

[long peak]

bronze pendant was kinda op tho

maybe i would have never even use another one

[dark coyote]

I'm also partial to stacks instead of filling a meter

[long peak]

did you tried the bracelets of the brave

i think if its works while you are in a infested mine or ashlands or a fuling camps its good enough or fighthing with a starred berserker / soliders etc

[dark coyote]

yeah, on my main, the health is nice because that will save you from dots or aoe damage but the other bonuses are wasted by the time it procs, unless you are just constantly fighting mobs

[long peak]

how long is the duratation

60 seconds

[dark coyote]

yeah so thats not bad, you can likely chain it, I guess I have more of a full plate assassin playstyle idk

[eternal crow]

R we gonna see smth for Valheim tommarow on New game+ showcase hehe,what do ya'll think

[spare quail]

Deep north release date fo sure

[eternal crow]

That would be so nice

[lone rampart]

I would love if that were so but I’m choosing not to speculate

[long peak]

when its ready ❤️‍🔥

[pliant hatch]

Considering we have one dev already mentioning he won't be back at work before the 12th, I don't think it's likely we're going to see anything news related tomorrow.

[spare quail]

yea, a guy can dream 🙏

[long peak]

same man same

btw guys checked it a bit it seems i have to kill 12 fulings to activate a bracelet of the brave what am i missing does hitting staggered enemies giving more i think somebody said something like it

is there a hidden mechanic like when you have low health you get more adrenaline or so because i remember i was activating a lot

[hasty citrus]

I think magic is introduced too late. I feel like it should be integrated into the plains or not treated as a separate class. I honestly don’t have any thoughts on ashlands grind I was just curious what others thought. I think the mistlands need a tad more visability and could benefit from greater mist prevention. I think the mistlands boss is extremely annoying and too long. Regarding sailing I absolutely love it I just wish they added more stuff to the ocean and something for my friend to do while he sits in the boat.

(I read everyone else’s replies I just got more replies than expected)

[dark coyote]

this should be the bronze pendant passive: gain health regen based on your missing stamina

[long peak]

idk i think mistlands boss was pretty balanced even tho she had the help of low fps XD

[long peak]

about the magic i am totaly agreed to it i think it was too late than i didnt even ever used magic still even tho i have played 1300 hours

[cedar stump]

Queen was the boss that took us the longer for sure, we had to repair our weapons and refresh rested at home lol

[long peak]

i always thought about it would be so cool if they had a quest in frost caves that you learn the Cultist Spels that would have makes sense to be honest

learning the cultist fire bending werewolves magic

i think there could have been lower versions or reverse special versions of the staffs

[dark coyote]

yeah root staff is black forest, deadraiser: swamp

[long peak]

like you get a special ice staff from defeating the geirrafa

[long peak]

yeah yeahhhhh maybe a abomination boss in black forest ? that made forest his home ?

a mini biome maybe ?

[long peak]

that would be so interesting at least for me

[dark coyote]

what would the meadows magic weapon be then?

[long peak]

the legendary Deer Raiser

a mini boss harder than deep north boss would have been so fun

an alpha eikthr would be so troll too

[dark coyote]

summon necks, or bees maybe (poison dot, siingle target)

[long peak]

nuh a deer raiser.

[dark coyote]

deers don't fight doe

[long peak]

https://youtu.be/nUkBo1347vg?si=gBKW1h_H2zvSA0FV are you sure buddy ?

check this out XD

? ow man i thought the joke was good

maybe a version of dundr because of eikthyr lightnings

:d

meadows is so boring at this point i hope they upgrade it a lot

only boring biome in the game maybe a giant neck mini boss could be funny like every time you kill 100 neck 😛

a neck size of a troll

[hasty citrus]

It just took too long

[long peak]

yeah maybe

[long peak]

how did i not realize your pp is mordecai unitl now

anyway i think introduciton of magic could have been in mountains it would have given more biome length to mountains

maybe it does not even need a new armor set it could be with fenris too but its already op then i think about it now

hmm

maybe a armor set made by few biomes complex ingredients in mountains

[dark coyote]

mountain needed caves, like non-instanced proc-gen caves with multiple entrances/exits

[long peak]

maybe fenris feathers and ancient seeds and abomination roots ?

its felt so random

i am sure devs could come up with more reasoneable one

[hasty citrus]

lol. Classic show

[hasty citrus]

I agree

[long peak]

even tho its harm the mistlands but not sure

at least i would have more interested in magic weapons

[spare quail]

Mistlands would be great, if it wasn't for that damn mist

[long peak]

man you are asking too much 😄

[hasty citrus]

It’s kinda true

[cedar stump]

yeah kinda a pain but at least you have wisplight/wisp torch the real issue is the mist in like the air/sky that blocks your vision of like gjalls and u get ambushed out of nowhere by one haha

[foggy glacier]

When you hear the trumpet, jump onto a rock above the mist. No biggy.

[long peak]

to be honest i loved the mist seeing a gjall jumosacre wass funny for me my problem was god damn un ending mountains that eat your time and stamina

[spare quail]

thing with wisplight is you can't combine it with belt and belt becomes a requirement as soon as you unlock it almost. and torches (when I tried), would get instantly destroyed by any mobs.

[hasty citrus]

I think the wisp light shudnt take an accessory slot. The encumbered item and other stuff is too good. I kinda wish they were perms upgrades

[long peak]

funny enough wisp lights description they say A bound wisp to guide you through the thickest of mists.

[spare quail]

Getting around the mistlands feels pretty good, really adds value to feather cape and ratatosk brews

[dark coyote]

I don't like the mist itself, just giant spinning sprites, no opacity/distance calculation, or very little

[long peak]

like its not an equiped thing its like a loyal friend at least i understand itthat way

[hasty citrus]

It shud remain that way

And act as a light source otherwise

[cedar stump]

never made that feather cape xd now idm mist at all just go there for my sap every day and veggies

[long peak]

no way man

[cedar stump]

forgot about ratatosk mead ngl! I always use the erhm jump stamina reduce one for my mist sap/farm

[long peak]

that cape is the most qol thing in the game

[cedar stump]

just makes you glide pmuch right?

[long peak]

no fall damage ?

isnt that sounds op for you

[cedar stump]

I used deer cape from 1st biome until ashland cape 😂

[dark coyote]

I disagree, not very useful outside of mistlands, and I never used it in mistlands either

[long peak]

waowwww

[spare quail]

In mistlands it's a life changer

[cedar stump]

doesnt it use eitr tho thats prolly why I didnt bother

[spare quail]

Climb the highest peak, jump

[cedar stump]

I hate farming for soft tissues

[long peak]

nuh man i love building its so usefull

[merry pebble]

To make it, yes, to use it, no 😄

[long peak]

only when crafting man you are missing a lot of things

[cedar stump]

I should go clear some holes in ashlands and make it then

[spare quail]

Soft tissue is still used in some ashlands stuff iirc

[cedar stump]

ye im max mage gear in ashland now

[long peak]

did you ever killed a drake with a pickaxed i did do you know why feather cape is noiceee

[spare quail]

Putrid cave gives like 20 soft tissue and a skull gives 100+

[long peak]

guys was the soft tissue unteleporteable ? or something

[cedar stump]

on the 2 mistland continent I found I alr cleared all the skulls ye

[spare quail]

no it's teleportable

Mistlands is great in that regard, everything can be teleported

[cedar stump]

just need 20 for the cape I think

[long peak]

man you are so interesting for me as the moment i read no fall damage i instantly clicked craft

[merry pebble]

If you want max lvl then 38, but for lvl1 its 20 refined eitr indeed 🙂

[spare quail]

Ye but extra fire damage taken has me taking it off early (as soon as queen is ded)

[merry pebble]

You have cheap mead for that 😄

[cedar stump]

I didnt catch that part ngl D:

I was so focused on getting all the mage gear crafted and staves :3

[long peak]

i am using rootharnesk anyway its not a new thing for me and fire resistance mead is enough

[spare quail]

There are better cape options in ashlands anyways imo

Feather cape is really for building and mistlands travel

[cedar stump]

would just be some qol for my sap/farm run in mistland, but why not! I dont wanna go kill fader right away 🙁 already got a port over there

[long peak]

idk i used askvin cape before call to arms it wasnt so good but the ashen cape was good tho as a light armour user it have comed so handy

i think it felt soo good for me because i usualy use as a food easy to farm stuffs like salad or onion soup

[dark coyote]

hope they buff flametal set bonus

[long peak]

and seeker meat mhmmmmm

[cedar stump]

its crazy how many sap/magecap I use

[long peak]

and building a lot so i am scared from fall damage especialy i love the mountains biome

[cedar stump]

what food combo do yall mage use btw? been using 2x eitr with 1x stam

[long peak]

yeah btw main reason i couldnt ever usen mage sets was their food problem

they need to be grinded

[spare quail]

Haven't used mage since before the platers so idk what I'd use nowadays

[long peak]

if i could i would have probably used ashlands and mistalands feasts and the maximum either food ?

[cedar stump]

im wondering if I should swap the stam food for the eitr feast for more hp too, especially for like Fader. and my buddy is melee and usually frontline/tank for me so I dont run all that much

I got like 100-120hp max I think lmao

[long peak]

i have tried a set of Flamatel helmet root harnesk and embla leggings with ashen cape and mistlands and ashlands feast with a health food in ashlands you can use magic and close combat in the same time

[spare quail]

As long as you aren't blocking

[cedar stump]

if I was solo id prolly have done something hybrid yeah im just sitting in the back and blasting 😄 and griefing my friend tossing him monster on him with vines xD

[long peak]

that was op i can use the blood shield and fire staff and the weapons

[merry pebble]

If you are using magic you really dont need hp food that much, your bubble becomes your hp 🙂

[cedar stump]

mostly concerned for Fader

[long peak]

nuh i was trying a hybrid kinda thing magic isnt my thing

[cedar stump]

idk his movesets and ill prolly take some dmg there ig

[spare quail]

Don't remember how bubble works with parrying ? Bubble has set amount of health iirc so I guess that makes sense

[long peak]

my first fader fight was hell

[cedar stump]

but then again ig my buddy will have aggro on him since he is melee

[spare quail]

But then like, how much dmg does bubble take when parrying

does total health affect it ?

[merry pebble]

I tried it for one of my playthroughs and ashlands with it were much easier than with melee, but i do still prefer melee as it is more fun imo 😄

[long peak]

bubble can be breaked you always parry if you time and you dont get stagger even if you get 5000 damage and you will be untouched and your blocking does not help bubble bubble always takes maximum damage

[long peak]

same

[cedar stump]

I kinda wanna try the new weapons for melee but my skills got so low with all my ashlands death now haha I cba training them again

[long peak]

i am interested in this game because of a dream of using axes and fighting stuff like a true viking and the axes are :/ bad

[spare quail]

yea ok, kinda what I remembered, I like to run 2 max health + Plater with shield. Can parry almost everything

[cedar stump]

was like 70 sword in mistland, think im at 15 skill? lol

[merry pebble]

Dont look at the skills too much, sure, they are quite nice to have, but not really of much consequence if you dont 🙂
Things like your gear, food, and skill as a player will always be way more important.

[long peak]

to be honest over you get over 20 levels very fast

and if you are over 30 levels its doing fine except the ashlands

[cedar stump]

We have so many flamemetal

[spare quail]

Depends on a lot of stuff

Gear, gear lvl, HP, lvls

[brittle otter]

all the skills except for bow/crossbow and run/jump have very little effect on combat as opposed to timing and gear level.

[spare quail]

Blocking skill is most important

[cedar stump]

I thought it affected dmg heavily

[long peak]

btw guys i think mining flamatel is meaninglessly risky raiding fortresses is enough and easy for solo players

[brittle otter]

not as much as youd hope tbh

[spare quail]

iirc lvl 100 is like 120% extra dmg ?

[brittle otter]

it is not 120% lmao

[cedar stump]

So many flame metal pillars everywhere too

[brittle otter]

maybe 20%

[long peak]

funny enough played this game few times in my main character and couldnt even get his blocking to 50 tho its imposible

[merry pebble]

Up to +141% iirc, which sure is nice, but still can be played without just fine 🙂

[cedar stump]

I might craft a set then and train on fulings and lox haha

[spare quail]

it's 140+% with knockback lol

[cedar stump]

Berserkir looks cool

[brittle otter]

i guess if you meant 140% of stock value and not a 140% increase then yeahj

[long peak]

i dont know i am a light armour user and i had enough even for crafting decorational armors and weapons from few raided castles

[spare quail]

no it's stock +141%

[spare quail]

when mistlands came out I'd sat on a draugr spawner for like 3-4 hours to lvl up blocking xd

[long peak]

btw i think i had 100 lvl clubs with my main chracter with different worlds total of more than 1000 days playing

[spare quail]

Died and lost all the lvls in an hour

[long peak]

how much is your level

[spare quail]

that character is gone

[long peak]

i am seeing a lot of players farming skills

[spare quail]

Current highest character probably has base 30's

with some 70's like running and farming

[brittle otter]

yall are right about the increase guess i always thought it was multiplicative not additive*

[long peak]

i dont quite understand them for example on normal settings when i was played on a group i said i dont wanna mine copper and used 3 lvl wooden club until litteral bonemass and my characters skill get to 60

[brittle otter]

just to own up to my mistake lol

[spare quail]

dmg doesn't affect xp gained afaik

[long peak]

especialy knifes you can get 40 level knifes before even entering swamp

[brittle otter]

that is correct, its flat 1.5xp per attack on creature

so .5 per twig/archery target then i guess

[merry pebble]

-# You wouldnt believe how rare that is these days.

[spare quail]

yea that's why wooden arrows are mvps xd

[brittle otter]

can collect em so i just use what i have lmao

[merry pebble]

Those should be 0,33xp iirc

[brittle otter]

its 35% of original value on wiki

i know that one since its new to me lol

[cedar stump]

What's everyone favorite weapon?

[dark coyote]

the look in your eyes

[brittle otter]

really depends on the biome im going into tbh lmao

[cedar stump]

Let's say either mist or Ashland endgame weps

[merry pebble]

Yep, you are right indeed, i knew it was around third 😄 but i was too lazy to check

[brittle otter]

also if im solo. if youre in a group having someone with a club or atgeir or any big knockback/stun weapon is v nice

[merry pebble]

Bleh, knockback

[long peak]

Frostner mistwalker crystal battleaxe and himminafl
most used one ? Frostner
Best Looking Crystal battle axe
having most fun using Himminafl
whic one is the most reliable strong mistw*alker

[cedar stump]

Friend charging his special attack while im knocking back the monster 😂

Frostner looked pretty dope my friend used it for a loooong time

[dark coyote]

I wish bloodgeon had lifesteal

[merry pebble]

It is one of the best weapons for biome that is 2 tiers above where you get it 😄 so no surprise there

[long peak]

i am scared they nerf the frost weapons they op dont tell the devs

[brittle otter]

frostner is such a good weapon.

[cedar stump]

Frost/spirit oppp my last melee weapon was bm sword for queen then I went full mage

[long peak]

you can used it even in ashlands

[dark coyote]

imo, they need to reduce the spirit damage on them, and then make an ashlands upgrade crystal that adds spirit damage

[brittle otter]

oh trust me i carry my hammer everywhere once i get it lol.

that mfer STAYS in my backpack XD

[long peak]

ahahah me too XD

[cedar stump]

Skele warrior are such a fkg pain they so tanky for us I feel like I tickle them with mage

[merry pebble]

For ashlands the silver sword is better 😄

[long peak]

btw i played the game mostly solo 1300 hours my multiplayer experince maximum 200 hours

[dark coyote]

nah, knockback + spirit dot against warriors is op

[brittle otter]

but frostner knocks almost every enemy out of their swing reach of you and swings faster than a sword, effectively letting you stunlock anything smaller than an ask/lox/troll etc

[long peak]

so i am usualy using every single weapon on my load myself

and it makes me feel like a veteran tho 😛

i am usualy
Mace , buckler , axe , bow , atgeir , building hammer , and a pickaxe on my load

[brittle otter]

its honestly my go to for fulings, let an archer smoke the spear folks and i can just swing frostner or an atgeir and never get touched. or once you get the black forge, skol and hati can attack fast enough that you can interrupt almost any attack and get a free parry/counter.

[long peak]

like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 numbers it kills the inventory slots tho

[cedar stump]

after over 200+h I just found out you could disable autopick up x)

[long peak]

ehhh using root harnesk you can even dont mind spears

[brittle otter]

my inventory always goes:
Main weapon, bow/crossbow, shield, secondary weapon, axe, pickaxe, hoe, hammer.

[brittle otter]

why bother with that when i have an archer though lol

like i said before, its all situational.

[long peak]

yeah you are right

[cedar stump]

always got like 6 staves on me 😛

[merry pebble]

@dark coyote spirit is exactly why its better imo 🙂 it does a lot more (and more than knockback the slow is more usefull imo but that is mostly just personal hate for knockback which is annoying af)

@brittle otter True with the knockback, as i said above i just reeeeealy dont like it, because while it does knock the enemy far enough they cant reach you, it also means you cant reach it for follow up attack 🙂
And the swing speed is the exact same as swords 😄

[cedar stump]

didnt bother with troll as I dont like summons that much in group play idk

[brittle otter]

depends on the amount of knockback. if you know what to use against what enemy you can make it so their movement speed and recovery balance with the knockback distance.

[long peak]

i am scared of using troll staff accidentaly on my build

[brittle otter]

not getting hit, whether its dodging blocking or whatever is the move from like plains+, so however people achieve THAT is the right answer for me lmao.

[cedar stump]

looks nice for solo taking fortress or anything solo tho

[merry pebble]

-# From Frostner forward all maces have the same ridiculous ammount of knockback 😄

[dark coyote]

yeah I prefer a high dmg, hit n' run, guerilla style of combat

[long peak]

btw is there anyone maxed his clubs XD and hit a greyling with a 100 lvl clubs + flametal mace secondary XD

piuvvvvvv

[brittle otter]

no but i can imagine its something akin to Babe Ruth lmao

[long peak]

when i get the max level club

[merry pebble]

The one thing i like knockback for xD

[long peak]

that was the first thing i tried

btw wwhile there is a lot of players wanna ask opinion again adding Blunt damage to battleaxes

making it split

[merry pebble]

Meh, wouldnt like it

[long peak]

%80 slash + %20 blunt that would make them more special

[spare quail]

I tried suggesting adding pierce to* 2h sword heavy attack and it wasn't well received so i'm guessing axes are in a similar boat

which is silly imo, it's literally a stab

[long peak]

definitly agreed

[merry pebble]

Oh i would be on board for adding pierce to sword secondary or blunt to battleaxe secondary from realism standpoint. But from game balance... It probably better for the weapon dmg type to stay as is.

[spare quail]

yeah, forces you to craft multiple weapons

[dark coyote]

I wwould add pierce, in the sense that an axe produces deep wounds

[merry pebble]

That is not just perk of pierce dmg tho
The blunt would make way more sense in this case

[long peak]

i thought like its soo heavy so it should effect the enemy

[long peak]

yeah slahs does the same

[spare quail]

Blunt would make sense for secondary because it's hitting with the blunt end of the weapon but like Asatru said, gameplay and what not

[long peak]

iron gate made a game so incredible i didnt play alot of game that has the same potential like valheim

[dark coyote]

yeah but is a 2h sword blunt? its heavy but its definately no blunt damage. The idea of blunt is that it doesnt pierce or rend the flesh, it causes internal trauma.

[long peak]

maybe they will make this changes later after 1.0

[spare quail]

they're giving themselves room for new weapons in the mid-game xd

some flex 2 style weapons

[long peak]

i think you should experience it in real life to understand it XD

[long peak]

like think someone hit you with a axe it would make seismic effect on you

[dark coyote]

If anythihng blunt should have an armor pen stat and increased stagger effect

[long peak]

i am a kinda mini physicist myself

[long peak]

i think plunt weapons already have it but not sure

let me check

[merry pebble]

They do have quite high stagger iirc

[long peak]

what does iirc mean

[merry pebble]

if i remember correctly

[long peak]

btw in the wiki iron mace and sword seem to have the same stagger wtf

btw i always felt like swords staggering a lot more than they should be

[merry pebble]

Mace secondary has a lot more stagger 🙂

[long peak]

i think normal hits should have it too
